[11:06] <LjL> icarus: you need to calm down, i understand you're angry about your data being apparently gone, but don't flood the channel because of it
[11:06] <ikonia> icarus: many users have made mistakes before, it's not unique
[11:06] <JadedJacob> How can I change the appearance settings like int 10.* ?
[11:07] <OerHeks> icarus, maybe the data is not available for your account, open 'gksudo nautilus' and see if the data is there ?
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> JadedJacob: threre are guides like this one: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/08/installing-using-classic-gnome-desktop.html
[11:08] <icarus> thanks but that did nothing
[11:08] <icarus> like i hit enter and it went to a new line
[11:08] <ikonia> icarus: the data is gone.
[11:08] <icarus> ikonia please, give me a suggestion or leave me alone
[11:09] <ikonia> icarus: ljl posted some information on data recovery tools, however you'll find the data is gone
[11:09] <ikonia> !recovery | icarus
[11:09] <ikonia> ignore that
[11:09] <ferro> hi all
[11:09] <ferro> i new
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> icarus: use foremost and you may be able to get data back. if the data is important I am shocked you are devoid of backup
[11:09] <ikonia> !recover | icarus
[11:09] <Abooda> hello ferro
[11:09] <JadedJacob> i don't mind unity, but how can i have it so the title bar always shows?
[11:09] <ikonia> icarus: you are welcome to try those tools that ubottu has sent you, however you will find the data is gone.
[11:10] <ferro> where are you Abooda
[11:10] <OerHeks> JadedJacob, try My-Unity, it has the always visible option
[11:10] <ferro> I live in italy
[11:10] <icarus> this is why GNU/Linux has so few home users: no real support
[11:11] <ikonia> icarus: people are supporting you
[11:11] <OerHeks> JadedJacob, it is a tweakingtool >> https://launchpad.net/~myunity/+archive/ppa
[11:11] <icarus> ou have to be an expert just to use it without people making you feels stupid
[11:11] <ikonia> icarus: you have made a mistake, and the data is gone, the same would be true in any OS
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> icarus: why? because you destroyed your own data that is the fault of the OS?? Seriously?
[11:11] <icarus> yes and i appreciate it
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> icarus: 3rd time lucky...try foremost
[11:11] <beasty> mornings
[11:11] <ikonia> icarus: I'm not trying to make you feel stupid, however the most honest truth is "the data is gone"
[11:11] <icarus> but making me feel bad for forgetting to backup when i thought it was unessasary is cruel and evil
[11:11] <ikonia> icarus: try the tools ActionParsnip is suggesting
[11:11] <nibbler_> icarus, if you know some unique words/combinations you used inside your scripts, you can use "strings /dev/sdaX | grep -C500 $word_or_unique_combination" to recover even parts of those files
[11:11] <ikonia> icarus: backups where mentioned once at the start of your conversation
[11:12] <ikonia> icarus: it's not been mentioned since, people have offered help, so either follow the help, or drop the complaining.
[11:12] <pnunn> sorted.. wrong user and group running qemu.

[11:14] <OerHeks> ferro only the sun & ubuntu are free
[11:14] <quiescens> i would probably try to conclusively establish whether or not home directory encryption was used, before offering suggestions, but i didn't follow the conversation so i don't know if people already checked that
[11:14] <madoo> can you hellp me please
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> ferro: you can use skype to skype for free
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> madoo: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

[11:21] <Tyrope> Hello, I have several users on my VM, but i'd only like to show 1 account in the actual GUI login screen.
[11:21] <Tyrope> I heard changing the UID below 1000 can do this, but it also causes permission problems i'd rather not have to solve.
[11:22] <madoo> heeeelllp
[11:22] <eSoul> Tyrope -- I have no idea about it, but is there anything in system settings that lets you control a setting like that?
[11:22] <JelloPop> madoo: with?
[11:22] <Tyrope> eSoul: not in user accounts.
[11:23] <eSoul> Tyrope: Damn
[11:23] <Pumpkin-> if you are using gdm, you can put something in the gdm config file to exclude users. I can't remember exactly what though, but google for "gdm exclude" should find it (I'm pretty sure exclude was the keyword)
[11:23] <Tyrope> Pumpkin-: on it, thank you.
[11:23] <madoo> when i try to change my ubuntu to k ubuntu  in terminal its tillme comand not fund
[11:24] <madoo> can you hellp me
[11:24] <JelloPop> madoo: logout login
[11:24] <madoo> i will
[11:24] <madoo> and
[11:25] <Tyrope> Pumpkin-: I googled and sudo vim'd to the file shown in a fedora forum topic, vim reports that /etc/gdm/custom.conf is a "[New DIRECTORY]" is gdm the default in ubuntu11.10?
[11:25] <JelloPop> madoo: change session at bottom of screen to kubuntu or kde
[11:25] <quiescens> Tyrope: most likely not
[11:25] <JelloPop> madoo: when u logout on the login screen
[11:25] <madoo> i didnt install
[11:26] <madoo> i know what you mean but i didnt installit
[11:26] <madoo> i wanna  install frist
[11:26] <derebel> i have an ipv6 gateway setup that is assigning addresses to a ubuntu client, the client gets an address but can't ping the gateway or ipv6 internet, would i need to set a route on the client or is this a problem on the gateway?
[11:26] <JelloPop> madoo: whell u have to install it...
[11:26] <Tyrope> any other ideas?
[11:26] <quiescens> Tyrope: you probably need to edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and add a line saying greeter-hide-users=true if you want to hide the user list completely
[11:27] <Krissed> derebel is your iptables set up to allow ping ?
[11:27] <icarus> <3
[11:27] <Tyrope> quiescens: I want to have the 1 account I use to login locally to appear though
[11:27] <quiescens> Tyrope: otherwise try looking at /usr/share/doc/lightdm/lightdm.conf or something for documentation
[11:27] <JelloPop> madoo: sudo apt-get install kubuntu
[11:27] <fluxmagnet> does anyone know how you save your touchpad and light setting in lubuntu?
[11:28] <derebel> Krissed, icmp is explicitly allowed for ipv6 and ipv4 on the gateway
[11:28] <Neo31> Hello folks, please I need to install sun jre6 and jdk6. I got a little bit confused, I used to install it from a binary or a repo I don't remember, any useful link please? thx for help
[11:28] <Krissed> derebel hmm odd. youve checked logs and such ?
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> Neo31: sun don't own java now, it's oracle
[11:28] <Krissed> Neo31 id recommend from repo
[11:28] <fluxmagnet> oh i did it off terminal @ neo
[11:28] <chris_> how to find out if hdd is connected at sata 1, 2 or 3 speed
[11:29] <chris_> ?
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> Neo31: if you can give the output of:  uname -m   I can advise
[11:29] <Neo31> have the package name changes ActionParsnip
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> chris_: look into hdparm
[11:29] <quiescens> Tyrope: it looks like you can hide users in /etc/lightdm/users.conf if that is sufficient
[11:29] <derebel> Krissed, tail /var/log/kern.log on the gateway (debian) gives me a few icmpv6_send: no reply to icmp error
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> Neo31: no, its just not packaged anymore due to the new license
[11:30] <Krissed> ActionParsnip is that the reason why people cant get the java updated automaticly anymore ?
[11:30] <Neo31> i686 ActionParsnip
[11:30] <Tyrope> quiescens: It would be a solution, but I'd rather show just 1 user. let's call it plan B. ;)
[11:30] <Krissed> derebel hmm i cant think of any reason why it wouldnt work just now.

[11:31] <fluxmagnet> neeo i just put one
[11:31] <fluxmagnet> neo even
[11:31] <fluxmagnet> you can follw the instruction for java nad just type in to terminal
[11:31] <Krissed> Neo31 well i forgot that there are some problems with java now.. ive read a guide which is just a bunch of text you paste into terminal and it uninstalls the old java and installs new
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> Neo31: wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/install32bitJava; chmod +x ./install32bitjava; sudo ./install32bitjava
[11:32] <fluxmagnet> i didn't have any probs

[11:33] <fluxmagnet> does anyone know how to save keyboard and mouse setting on lubuntu? i keep having to redo on login
[11:33] <gopi1410> !hi
[11:33] <Tyrope> fluxmagnet: we saw your question the first time.
[11:33] <fluxmagnet> oh actually back light is completely not changing now
[11:33] <Tyrope> fluxmagnet: perhaps an option could be cron's @reboot ?
[11:33] <leo_> cler
[11:34] <fluxmagnet> tyrope i don't know what you mean? i'm a bit of a noob with linux
[11:34] <Tyrope> I see.
[11:35] <Tyrope> Well, i'm not that experienced either.
[11:35] <Tyrope> I just know that cron can do stuff automatically on system startup.
[11:35] <Neo31> thanks ActionParsnip and Krissed , i'll try it.
[11:35] <chris_> ActionParsnip: i can find examples how to test transfere speed with hparm -t or -T. But can't see which sata version controller and hdd negotiated.
[11:35] <fluxmagnet> wat is cron?
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> chris_: possibly also:  sudo lshw | less    may say
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> fluxmagnet: a scheduler service
[11:36] <Tyrope> ActionParsnip: Thanks, I was looking for the words to use.
[11:36] <chris_> fluxmagnet, tool to executed programms/scripts at scheduled time or interval
[11:36] <fluxmagnet> oh right
[11:36] <fluxmagnet> how to i get it to do stuff?
[11:37] <Tyrope> fluxmagnet: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto
[11:37] <fluxmagnet> lubuntu is quite buggy but i'm wanting to persevere with it
[11:37] <chris_> fluxmagnet, crontab -e and see tyrope's link
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> fluxmagnet: if you have a desktop UI, you can use gnome-schedule as a GUI
[11:37] <fluxmagnet> thanks
[11:37] <JelloPop> fluxmagnet: this explains it http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=31550
[11:38] <fluxmagnet> it says i do'nt have a crontab?
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> fluxmagnet: yes, it'll make you one :)
[11:38] <Tyrope> fluxmagnet: it should create one on the first attempt to edit it.
[11:39] <Tyrope> and again ActionParsnip takes words from my mouth/keyboard. I'll leave you to it.
[11:39] <fluxmagnet> oh ok
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> Boom
[11:41] <LukeNukem> How to create a new group?
[11:41] <DropsOfSerenity> Is there any newer alternative (better integrated into unity) than jitsi for a jabber client that's compatable with windows AND allows video chat AND screen sharing?
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> LukeNukem: sudo addgroup nameofgroup
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> DropsOfSerenity: possibly pidgin
[11:42] <DropsOfSerenity> ActionParsnip, pidgin allows screen sharing?
[11:43] <JelloPop> !group
[11:43] <JelloPop> !add group
[11:43] <ahhughes_> I cant work out how to get middle click on this laptops touchpad, anyone think this is possible (asus n53)?
[11:44] <angeloc> hi all, a quick question!
[11:44] <thetinyjesus> Quick question for you guys, if i have 12.04 beta 1 installed, are the updates the same as me updating to beta 2 once it is released?
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> DropsOfSerenity: never used screen sharing in Linux, SSH always does what I need
[11:45] <jrib> thetinyjesus: yes but please use #ubuntu+1 for support until 12.04 is released
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> angeloc: ask away
[11:45] <thetinyjesus> jrib: alright thank you
[11:46] <angeloc> i'm writing a plugin for networkmanager, it should spawn a firefox process inside users sessions when some conditions are meet, it should spawn with the user rights of user session of course
[11:46] <Evanescence> which video editor is easy and good to use ? (I know openmovieeditor, but it is not available in my new Ubuntu source version)
[11:46] <LukeNukem> ActionParsnip, and to remove?
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> LukeNukem: guess :)
[11:47] <LukeNukem> removegroup nameofgroup?
[11:47] <angeloc> ActionParsnip, plugin is done, but I dont know wich is the best and raccomanded way to do what i want
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> LukeNukem: sudo delgroup     close :). The man page will tell you the options on the command
[11:48] <LukeNukem> ActionParsnip, and to add users to a group?
[11:48] <ahhughes_> Evanescence, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10342746&postcount=4
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> LukeNukem: look into useradd and usermod
[11:48] <Evanescence> ahhughes_: thanks
[11:49] <VictorCL> php mail() checks for a smtp account in linux to send mail ,, how can I configure ubunto with an gmail account to use that stmp automatically  ?
[11:49] <Tyrope> quiescens: I just re-read my highlights window to see you mentioned /etc/lightdm/users.conf instead of lightdm.conf. I can't seem to find a good help page on google. mind telling me the line i need to add for a hidden user?
[11:49] <LukeNukem> i tried this useradd -G {group-name} username
[11:49] <LukeNukem> but it gives me output
[11:49] <LukeNukem> user already exists
[11:49] <LukeNukem> :|
[11:49] <FloodBot1> LukeNukem: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:49] <ahhughes_> Evanescence, this is old but seems like still accurate http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/top5-linux-video-editing-system-software/
[11:50] <fluxmagnet> ok i'm going to have a look at this it's a bit confusing thanks tho
[11:50] <fluxmagnet> bye
[11:50] <Tyrope> fluxmagnet: bye, thanks for visiting
[11:50] <Evanescence> ahhughes_: good 5
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> LukeNukem: you'll want to use:  sudo usermod -a -G group username
[11:50] <ahhughes_> Evanescence, I have only used Avidemux to trim mpeg2's. The others seem incredibly powerful... if thats what you need
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> LukeNukem: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-add-user-to-group/
[11:51] <LukeNukem> ActionParsnip, ok now to view the list of users in the group?
[11:51] <LukeNukem> :D
[11:51] <Evanescence> ahhughes_: openshot is good choice even I have never had a try on it. looks similar with openmovieeditor
[11:53] <LukeNukem> how to change ownership to a group using chown?
[11:53] <KM0201> LukeNukem: chown username:usergroup /path/to/directory   i think.
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> LukeNukem: http://nixcraft.com/ubuntu-debian/11867-any-way-view-view-all-members-group.html
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> LukeNukem: chown :groupname thing
[11:54] <LukeNukem> KM0201, i want to add the entire group
[11:54] <KM0201> LukeNukem: oh ok, then i think what AP said will work
[11:55] <JermBob> if i wanted to run a file server a ftp server and a www server from ubuntu
[11:55] <JermBob> would it be best to use server ?
[11:55] <JermBob> i tend to like to use the pc too
[11:55] <LukeNukem> ActionParsnip, i tried that.. but owner is still not changed to the group :\
[11:55] <JermBob> even though its serving
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> LukeNukem: is the user you are running it as the owner?
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> LukeNukem: is the folder stored on a FAT32 or NTFS based file system?
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> JermBob: you can run services on a desktop OS
[11:56] <KM0201> JermBob: if you tend to use it as a PC to, then i wouldn't use ubuntu server, but thats just me.. but it seems crazy to run those services on a PC that's in use as a desktopp, i would think it would kill performance
[11:56] <LukeNukem> AcidRain, ext4
[11:56] <JermBob> KM0201:  its a pretty light weight www server
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> LukeNukem: try prepending with sudo
[11:57] <VictorCL> is there a way to save a file opened in vim as root ?
[11:57] <JermBob> and the ftp would most likely be used by the internal network
[11:57] <VictorCL> I forgot to open it as ROOT and not I can't save
[11:58] <Splooshie123> LUkeNukem, I think only 1 user can own a file. But you can set the permissions of the file so the group has same permissions as the owner (ex. 775)
[11:58] <JermBob> is samba still the best file sharing utility thats cross platform ?
[11:58] <JelloPop> Tyrope: ran across a input for the same version asking to use exlcude line
[11:58] <JermBob> like i want my girlfriend to be able to open stuff on her windows box
[11:59] <JermBob> but i want to be able to network map to the ubuntu shares on my ubuntu laptop
[11:59] <Tyrope> JelloPop: Sorry?
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> JermBob: you can access windows shares using nautilus
[11:59] <JermBob> ActionParsnip: thanks, is that intergrated in ubuntu standard or should i apt-get ?
[12:00] <JelloPop> Tyrope: ur not using fedora so not sure if editing file with exclude line will work
[12:00] <GirlyGirl> JermBob: Nautilus is a file manager (default one)
[12:00] <Tyrope> JelloPop: that file (or better, folder.) doesn't exist.
[12:00] <JermBob> thanks GirlyGirl
[12:00] <JelloPop> Tyrope: My understanding is that the schemas file shouldn't be edited and /etc/gdm/custom.conf should be modified. I was able to exclude users from the gdm list with the following:
[12:00] <JelloPop> Code:
[12:00] <JelloPop> [greeter]
[12:00] <JelloPop> Exclude=user1, user2
[12:00] <GirlyGirl> JelloPop: It uses Samba itself as backend to find windows shares
[12:00] <GirlyGirl> JermBob: It uses Samba itself as backend to find windows shares
[12:00] <Tyrope> JelloPop: problem is, I don't run gdm. /etc/gdm doesn't exist.
[12:01] <JermBob> thats solved then
[12:01] <Tyrope> JelloPop: "ls /etc | grep gdm" results nothing.
[12:01] <JermBob> thanks all
[12:01] <JermBob> night night
[12:01] <JermBob> oh thats good
[12:01] <JermBob> im familar with samba being the thing
[12:01] <FloodBot1> JermBob: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:02] <JelloPop> Tyrope: Not what I'm getting at ... hold on...
[12:02] <Tyrope> JelloPop: Sorry, continue
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> Tyrope: the default in oneiric is lightdm, you can install gdm if you wish
[12:04] <Tyrope> ActionParsnip: I'd rather accept seeing all account than install extra software, HDD space on the VM is small and i'd rather have it used by the software I actually need.
[12:04] <Tyrope> thanks though
[12:05] <JelloPop> Tyrope: ActionParsnip could u just edit the etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf with the line exclude and get it to work???
[12:05] <ivandiaz> Hey everyone, I am wondering if anyone can help me out with this issue Im currently having. For some reason everytime I watch youtube, the video is automatically resized to an "Embedded" size leaving a portion of the normal youtube screen black. Also no internet radio works for me at all, it simply loads and loads and loads nor do clicking buttons that say "listen live" on sites such as...
[12:05] <ivandiaz> ...sky.fm or iheartradio.com seem to work at all, it was working just fine a few days ago until I installed GNOME and went into recovery mode to reset my admin passwords but thats it, if anyone has any idea as to how to fix this would be great!
[12:07] <Abooda> ivandiaz: what other sound problems you having?
[12:08] <Nova> Well in regards to online radio, I cannot hear anything at all as its stuck on that buffering icon, regardless of the site or radio station, and as for youtube, the audio works great its just the videos are stuck on the embedded size within the actual normal screen of youtube, so its like a small video off in the corner of the original youtube size screen.
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> Tyrope: you can uninstall lightdm if space is an issue.
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> JelloPop: no idea, I don't mess with lightdm
[12:09] <noneio> so when i look in a .desktop file, i see this line: Icon=file-manager
[12:09] <noneio> how do i find the full path to that icon?
[12:09] <Tyrope> I'll test it then. "exclude=user,user2,us3r" right, JelloPop?
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> Nova: can you give the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'      use http://pastie.org to give the output
[12:09] <notlistening> Hi I want to load modules before my udev for usb runs is there a way to do that?
[12:09] <JelloPop> Tyrope: k
[12:09] <philinux> In synaptic lightdm is shown as 438kb
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> noneio: could try:  sudo updatedb; locate file-manager | egrep -i 'png|xpm|jpg'
[12:10] <Nova> ok give me one second ActionParsnip
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> notlistening: if you add them in /etc/modules    does it help?
[12:11] <notlistening> they are already in there
[12:11] <notlistening> the problem i am having is with 3G modems
[12:11] <CaptainQuirk> Hi !
[12:11] <notlistening> but on after a cold boot
[12:11] <Tyrope> JelloPop, ActionParsnip: no joy. I'll accept seeing a userlist then, at least I figured out how to remove guest.
[12:11] <CaptainQuirk> I'm trying to launch a command with a variable part in the argument
[12:12] <CaptainQuirk> http GET <IP_ADDRESS>/perms.json Set-Cookie:$COOKIE --allow-redirects --print=hHBb --traceback
[12:12] <ahhughes_> oh this no middle click thing on this laptop looks like a bug :'(   but after I try and change the "Synaptics Tap Action" property I get left and middle click but no right :'(''''' http://askubuntu.com/questions/80712/middle-mouse-click-emulation-on-trackpad-how-can-i-set-it
[12:12] <CaptainQuirk> is my syntax correct for  the $COOKIE be replaced
[12:12] <JelloPop> Tyrope: did us see the edit version for linux mint lxde? dont u have that config file though???
[12:13] <Tyrope> JelloPop: what file?
[12:13] <JelloPop> Tyrope: thought u did a google search???
[12:13] <Tyrope> yes, but I specified 'ubuntu'
[12:13] <dr_willis> CaptainQuirk:  if you  use 'echo yourfancycommandline' it will print out how bash would see it after everything is parsed and replaced.

[12:15] <JelloPop> Tyrope: problem is it is linux mint though dought u have that config file
[12:15] <CaptainQuirk> dr_willis, ehh, I don't get you
[12:17] <CaptainQuirk> I just want the $COOKIE to be used inside the argument
[12:17] <Nova> ActionParsnip: Here is the pastie http://pastie.org/3627682
[12:17] <CaptainQuirk> doing 'echo $COOKIE' prints out echo $COOKIE in the header, which is not what I want
[12:19] <Tyrope> JelloPop: command ran without error, accounts still display on the login screen. seems to take a bit longer to log out now though
[12:20] <JelloPop> Tyrope: edit the code out will mess with Ubuntu dont leave that there ....
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> Nova: http://paste.ubuntu.com/890528/
[12:21] <dr_willis> CaptainQuirk:  then your $COOKIE is not currently.. You canuse echo as a 'test' to see what its going to do exactly.
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> Nova: you an old ECW fan ;)
[12:21] <dr_willis> not currently Set i mean.
[12:21] <Nova> ActionParsnip: Haha yeah, and thanks let me try it out
[12:21] <CaptainQuirk> dr_willis, I do and there's something inside it
[12:21] <dr_willis> CaptainQuirk:  depending on how you are doing the command, and whats running it. will dictate how you need to quote the arguments
[12:22] <Tyrope> JelloPop: There's no editing a command that already ran, though.
[12:22] <dr_willis> CaptainQuirk:  so i think the channel needs some more details. I dont think you are using 'http get....' from a bash shell are you?
[12:22] <Tyrope> JelloPop: is it as simple as changing the "True" at the end into "False"?
[12:23] <JelloPop> Tyrope: if u want all users gone
[12:24] <Tyrope> JelloPop: all but one.
[12:24] <Nova> ActionParsnip:  It gave me this in my terminal, which one should I install? http://pastie.org/3627708
[12:24] <Tyrope> depends on the definition of 'gone'. ;)
[12:24] <JelloPop> Tyrope: false statement removes all users from list..
[12:25] <Tyrope> Let's not do that. :)
[12:25] <white_gecko> hello, does anybody know if there is a possibility to monitor how much data I have send in a month through my UMTS stick?
[12:25] <AcidRain> ok.... this is pretty weird, but the "install now" button in app installer is broken it appears. it wont install kid3 audio tag editor
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> Nova: adobe-flashplugin is the one you want
[12:26] <JelloPop> Tyrope: Unless ur going to change to LinuxMint 12 I dont seeing how to do this with out installing gdm
[12:27] <Tyrope> JelloPop: Alright, I'll stick with the userlist then. thanks anyway.
[12:27] <Nova> ActionParsnip:  Hmm it seems It was unable to locate the files? http://pastie.org/3627731
[12:27] <JelloPop> Tyrope: have fun :)
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> Nova: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[12:31] <monohedron_> anybody ever played with bino ?
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> !info bino
[12:32] <Nova> ActionParsnip:  Alright wow it worked! thanks so much!!
[12:32] <eutheria> can deja-dup read a backup created with duplicity?
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> Nova: you had 2 flash plugins installed, removed both then installed just the one
[12:34] <sambagirl> i am upgrading to 10.10 from 10.04 and the laptop is running sorta hot, and it will shut down if it gets to hot. if it does, will the upgrade restart or will it pick up from where it terminated from the shutdown:? it's installing packages now and says like 2 hours left. it just asked if i wanted to keep a configuration and i said yes. that part.
[12:34] <sambagirl> also is libre the new office that is being distributed by ubuntu?
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> sambagirl: yes, its the default installed office package. You can easily remove it if you need
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> sambagirl: I do and install abiword and gnumeric, much smaller :)
[12:36] <sambagirl> no i will keep it
[12:36] <Nova> ActionParsnip:  Oh I see, thanks again much apperciated!
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> Nova: np man :)
[12:36] <Sifrazooy> hey does anyone knows where i can find nautilus documentations
[12:36] <sambagirl> i use atlantis word processor actually it runs in wine beautifully and has superior functions
[12:37] <sambagirl> do u use wine in your configurations actionparsnip?
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> sambagirl: I've no need of it. I also use googledocs but its rare
[12:38] <sambagirl> ok
[12:39] <sambagirl> i forgot your one of those linux wizard gurus :D
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> sambagirl: i just have basic needs so I keep it simple
[12:40] <sambagirl> i understand
[12:43] <sambagirl> is it possible to upgrade from 10.10 to 12.04?
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> sambagirl: not without upgrading to 11.04, then 11.10 first
[12:44] <philinux> sambagirl: No it's not LTS to LTS yes. Also see this. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11777153&postcount=4
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> sambagirl: I'd go for a clean install, it'll give a smoother OS, plus it's LTS so you won't have all the old fluff from the old releases :)
[12:45] <sambagirl> oh so i could have upgraded from 10.04 to 12.x? since they are both lts?
[12:45] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: to your opinion what works better running windows 7 with ubuntu in VMware or running windows7 on virtual box under ubuntu?
[12:45] <sambagirl> yeah your right actionparsnip
[12:46] <philinux> sambagirl: 12.04 not released yet and upgrade path could be bad at the moment
[12:46] <sambagirl> i am going to give this laptop to my mom
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: depends on the needs of both OSes, there is no single answer
[12:46] <philinux> sambagirl: +1 ActionParsnip Upgrades take forever IMHO
[12:47] <sambagirl> here is an interesting question. i have seen all kinds of Ubuntu derivatives and i wondered if there is lets call it a senior citizens version?
[12:47] <sambagirl> your right philinux this started around 2am :D
[12:47] <sambagirl> its' almost 0am now
[12:47] <sambagirl> 9am
[12:47] <llutz_> sambagirl: just 2 buttons on desktop + 120pt Fontsize?
[12:48] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: For my work I would need to be able to work with MSOFFICE 2010 other then that there are a view things that works for me better under windows then linux (ex adobe mastersuite 4) and didn't find any good replacement for this package under linux but I might be wrong
[12:48] <sambagirl> llutz_ that would be good
[12:48] <WilsonBradley> test
[12:49] <sambagirl> i'm going to do some research on the subject of a senior citizens ubuntu version
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: then i'd virtualize Ubuntu as you will get better performance from those apps
[12:49] <llutz_> sambagirl: iirc there had been a debian based project like that by german company Siemens. idk what happend with that
[12:49] <sambagirl> let me look into it  brb thanks
[12:49] <newbuntu> hi :-)
[12:49] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: or run a dual boot which is another alternative
[12:50] <mcb_> I still have one desktop machine with version 10.10. Does anyone know of a way to upgrade to a new version, but keeping my gnome intact. Without instaling Unity?
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: sure, always an option. Just remember to only install windows to a portion of the drive space rather than the default 100%
[12:50] <newbuntu> i wonder if someone could give me a hint of what i could do to get rid of my hard disk problem (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11777259#post11777259)
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> mcb_: you will need to upgrade first, then tweak
[12:51] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: I know I have 1.5TB so I can shift a little :)
[12:51] <mcb_> But the tweak does not go so good..... Shame!
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> mcb_: you will need to upgrade to evry intermediate release until you get to the version you want
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: if you plan partitions, you won't have to resize
[12:51] <sggg> hi, my windows xp can not access my ubuntu samba server. I followed this doc: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html  any ideas? thanks. I can access the samba ports from windows xp PC. thanks.
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> mcb_: could use xfce, i feels and smells like Gnome2
[12:52] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: it's 3x500Gig drives no resizing needed
[12:53] <mcb_> ActionParsnip: That I know, but I realy disliked Unity, and to tweak it aftwards is a pain. Using Xfce is good, but i also have to reconfigure it all, and that the kind of problem i want to abvoid.
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: will if you set the Windows partitions to use all the space ;)
[12:54] <philinux> mcb_: Have you tried MyUnity or the cinnamon  desktop
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> mcb_: there are how to's for tweaking Oneiric to make it look like Gnome2. There are also unofficial forks of Gnome2 you can use which are not supported here
[12:54] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: the last time an OS tried to play it his way it ended to be formatted ;)
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> mcb_: like cinnamon that philinux mentioned
[12:54] <MonkeyDust> mcb_  i don't like/use unity either, Gnome classic looks much like Gnome2, but *is* Gnome3 (which means the bars on top and bottom are less configurable)
[12:55] <newbuntu> anyone any ideas whats wrong with the hd?
[12:55] <triscuit> unity reminds me of my cellphone
[12:55] <mcb_> Thanks all for the advices. I think I will backup, and do a fresh install without desktop enviroment and install it all manually.....
[12:56] <sacarlson> newbuntu: I don't even see what format type the partition is in what I see in your link,  ntfs?  ext4? ...
[12:56] <newbuntu> ntfs
[12:57] <sggg> btw, I can access the samba server from localhost with smb://localhost/share/ through nautilus. windows xp can not connect to it at all. any ideas? thanks.
[12:57] <ye> hello !!! when i use "fdisk -l" , then diskplay an "sda", does that mean my disk is SATA?
[12:57] <sacarlson> newbuntu: then might want to try recover in windows first.  not sure ubuntu ntfs drivers are best in this case
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> ye: more than likely, yes
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> sggg: can the XP system ping the ubuntu system?
[12:58] <newbuntu> but i dont know how, because i dont have a windows cd that i could use, because it came preinstalled
[12:58] <sggg> ActionParsnip, yeah, sure. I also said it could access the samba ports 139 and 445.
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> sggg: what happens when you try to connect?
[12:59] <newbuntu> windows does not boot anymore and i dont have another win pc where i could plug the disk in
[12:59] <ye> ActionParsnip: but when i use "grub"  , i enter "root" in it  ,  i only match sda.
[12:59] <sggg> ActionParsnip, forgot. let me try it out. just connect timeout I think. let me try it again.
[13:00] <ye> ActionParsnip: hd
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> ye: you can see if you run:  sudo lshw | less
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> ye: it will say the model of the drive and you can search to see what interface it uses
[13:01] <sacarlson> newbuntu: http://www.howtoforge.com/ntfs-disk-recovery
[13:02] <sggg> ActionParsnip, the error is "the network path was not found". I access it by using \\<ip>\share and also tried \\<ip>\
[13:02] <ye> ActionParsnip: sorry , can you tell  me  how to find out what interface it is?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> sggg: have you configured the firewall on the Ubuntu system at all?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> ye: run the command I gave, when you see the drive model you can search for that on the web
[13:03] <sggg> ActionParsnip, I didn't configure the firewall at all. I think I even don't have it installed. and the windows xp can access the ports. I tried telnet ip 139 and telnet ip 445. both works.
[13:04] <sggg> I never make samba work... I remembered I tried to use it two years ago. then give up...
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> sggg: cool, all I can suggest is run:  sudo smbpasswd -a $USER     set the password and you can authenticate with that, should be ok
[13:04] <sggg> I can access it locally with smb://<ip>/share/ with nautilus as what I posted.
[13:04] <ye>  ActionParsnip: scsi
[13:05] <sggg> ActionParsnip, I really want to make guest work. I don't need any security.
[13:06] <newbuntu> sacarlson:  thx . question - when i create an image, will it take as much space as the size of the disk under consideration or only space in size of the actual data on that disk? ...because its a 1 TB device, and my external device has not so much space left :/
[13:06] <Robinux> Hi, can I add chrome extensions on chromium???
[13:07] <jubei> Robinux: off you can.
[13:07] <jubei> of course*
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> Robinux: absolutely
[13:07] <sacarlson> newbuntu: I'm not sure, I guess you'll just have to try to find out
[13:08] <newbuntu> ok thx
[13:08] <OerHeks> My problem: i would like to pair a HID lazer keyboard to my bluetooth, but it doesn't see it. >> http://www.vkb-support.com/index.php . Is there an alternative BT manager ?
[13:08] <ye> ActionParsnip: OK got it. thx
[13:10] <OerHeks> I can't find any Linux info of this €160 gadget either...
[13:11] <newbuntu> sacarlson: i had good experience under windows when i used this tool - http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download
[13:11] <newbuntu> sacarlson: unfortunately, i dont know how to use it through linux
[13:12] <alex1010> bonjour

[13:24] <ActionParsnip> Lostvoices: what apps are you wanting to create PDFs from, most can do it on their own
[13:24] <neure> should i be able to do that somehow?
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> neure: do you mean in nautilus?
[13:25] <Lostvoices> visual paridigm
[13:25] <llutz_> Lostvoices: "pgrep cupsd"  does cups run local at all?
[13:26] <Lostvoices> pgrep cupsd in termial prints 942
[13:26] <llutz_> Lostvoices: check "localhost:631" in a browser and setup cups-pdf there
[13:27] <neure> ActionParsnip, I dont know, this is unity in 12.04 beta1
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> neure: then ask in #ubuntu+1
[13:27] <MonkeyDust> neure  #ubuntu+1
[13:27] <MonkeyDust> neure  12.04 is not stable yet, some things may not function correctly
[13:28] <Lostvoices> llutz,  i'm getting not found on every page, maybe something is wrong here
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> Lostvoices: try a reboot :)
[13:29] <Lostvoices> ActionParsnip,  have 3 times  :)
[13:30] <Lostvoices> ActionParsnip,  guess i'll just have to transfer my files to my windows pc and print from there
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> Lostvoices: http://paste.ubuntu.com/890593/
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> Lostvoices: what apps are you printing to PDF from?
[13:31] <eXcAliBuR> how can i open my log file and have it show updated info as it's open?

[13:32] <Lostvoices> ActionParsnip,  it's for uni i must submit assignment in pdf form :)
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> Lostvoices: makes sense
[13:34] <Lostvoices> whatss the command for uinistall in terminal? i might try reinstalling it
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> Lostvoices: sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename
[13:36] <philinux> ActionParsnip: save typing no need for remove bit ;)
[13:36] <Lostvoices> ActionParsnip,   when installing i get this.. probably the problem hey    lpinfo: cups-driverd failed to execute.
[13:37] <ahhughes_> what happened to the location bar in nautilis, I cant have /this/as/text in the address bar :'(
[13:37] <paopao> hello?
[13:39] <paopao> how can i know how many channels are there in the ubuntu servers
[13:39] <MonkeyDust> paopao  you mean freenode server?
[13:39] <bazhang> paopao, ubuntu servers are really freenode
[13:39] <paopao> yeah, maybe
[13:40] <bazhang> paopao, you can search using alis
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> paopao: i'd ask in #freenode
[13:40] <bazhang> !alis | paopao
[13:40] <bazhang> chinese in #ubuntu-cn paopao
[13:40] <sambagirl> wow i found a distro for visually impaired called Vinux it's ubuntu based.
[13:40] <philinux> ahhughes_: Press ctrl l
[13:40] <paopao> thanx :-)
[13:40] <paopao> alis
[13:41] <paopao> "/msg alis help list"
[13:41] <philinux> paopao: without the quotes
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> sambagirl: looks like LXDE to me, could install Lubuntu and theme it the same and get support here :)
[13:42] <neure> is there any other font editing software that fontforge?
[13:42] <sambagirl> oh
[13:43] <sambagirl> i wonder why this is still stuck on mysql upgrade? it's been like forever. i recall i had to restart the mysql from a prompt earlier.
[13:43] <ahhughes_> philinux, that lets me enter text, but doesnt display text permanently.
[13:44] <RawProduce> I have an ACL setup like so: "# getfacl /home/webmaster/phoenix/src/app/cache" --> "user:www-data:rw-", yet if I "su www-data" then run "mkdir /home/webmaster/phoenix/src/app/cache/dev" I get the error "mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/webmaster/phoenix/src/app/cache/dev': Permission denied". "# ls -lach /home/webmaster/phoenix/src/app/cache/" --> "drwsrwsrwx+ 2 webmaster webmaster 4.0K 2012-03-19 13:37 ."
[13:44] <RawProduce> what gives?
[13:45] <paopao> i typed "/msg alis LIST", and then it showed me channels only starting with "o", no #ubuntu or #freenode...
[13:46] <bazhang> paopao, lets take this to #freenode please
[13:47] <philinux> ahhughes_: Open dconf-editor > Expand org>gnome>nautilus>prefs> then tick always-use-location-entry
[13:48] <sambagirl> haha
[13:48] <frodo_9fin> using the gui in ubuntu to change the mo9nitor preferences works very well. sometimes it seems to change the settings i put in (xorg) seems not to like my set up. is there a file somewhere that the gui references that i can make unmodifiable by the system?
[13:50] <philinux> paopao: try this /msg alis LIST *ubuntu*
[13:50] <sambagirl> the upgrade has been stuck here for awhile "installing new version of config file /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.mysqld .... could it be a problem?
[13:51] <philinux> paopao: use * as a wildcard
[13:51] <paopao> philinux thanx
[13:52] <sambagirl> it appears to me to have stalled.
[13:55] <philinux> sambagirl: is this the upgrade :(
[13:55] <sambagirl> yes philinux
[13:55] <sambagirl> this is a bummer
[13:55] <philinux> sambagirl: oh no. very bad
[13:56] <sambagirl> well let me crash that process and back it up to external and rebuild new i guess.
[13:56] <nicofs> Can someone help me sort out xsession? I want to have a Lubuntu session at startup but all I get is LXDE after an error message that an Xubuntu session could not be started.
[13:56] <philinux> sambagirl: I had this once and  thats why I do clean installs. You need to reboot probably into recovery and try to repair it or chroot from livecd
[13:56] <sambagirl> do you think it won't reboot?
[13:57] <sambagirl> let me back it up first then
[13:57] <philinux> sambagirl: no idea till you try. You van use dpkg --configure -a from recovey and update and upgrade etc
[13:57] <nicofs> Apparently "LXDE session" is set as default, nevertheless the system tries to start a "Xubuntu session" at first even though Xubuntu has been completely purged...
[13:58] <philinux> sambagirl: yes backup first importnat stuff
[13:58] <sambagirl> crash the upgrade and then run dpkg --configure -a ?
[13:58] <ahhughes_> philinux, BooYah, thank you!
[13:58] <philinux> sambagirl: I'd make sure of backups first
[13:59] <sambagirl> yeah blah
[13:59] <sambagirl> it doenst seem to recognize the external drive now
[13:59] <sambagirl> it has a ghost there
[13:59] <sambagirl> now it does
[13:59] <sambagirl> bbiab
[14:00] <pfifo> 'be back in after backup'
[14:01] <ahhughes_> hey philinux sorry to bug ya, you know how I can add custom links (to folders) to the panel on the left hand side, of nautilus i.e in addition to Home, Desktop, Documents, Downloads....
[14:04] <philinux> ahhughes_: yes hang on
[14:04] <ahhughes_> awesome, its been bugging me for ages, and I just cant get the relevant terms to google for it successfully
[14:05] <philinux> ahhughes_: you can search yourself for quicklists
[14:06] <philinux> ahhughes_: here's one link http://askubuntu.com/questions/35488/what-custom-launchers-and-unity-quicklists-are-available
[14:06] <Evi1john> net_proxy_port 9050
[14:06] <ahhughes_> thanks philinux I had never heard of a quicklist til you mentioned it.
[14:07] <ibiwor> Hi! Installed xfce4 and lxde packages as the names are to try xfce and lxde DE early today. Soon after installing them, on restart I noticed a change of grub background from default blue to a one based on debian something like this - http://lazybrowndog.net/debian/squeeze/bugfixes/grub/spacefun-grub-widescreen.png - and similar background when KDE loads with a splash screen.
[14:07] <philinux> ahhughes_: this is an easier method. http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/myunity-30-released-with-new-gui.html
[14:07] <ibiwor> Other than that, the desktop effects fail to load on login that only enabling them from desktop effects works but partially. How can I fix this?
[14:07] <philinux> ahhughes_: 12.04 though. Just around the corner
[14:08] <philinux> ahhughes_: also see here. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/unity-window-quicklists.html
[14:09] <lubosz> hi. is there any other way to restart all of usb than reloading the kernel module? because it is compiled into the kernel. FATAL: Module ehci_hcd is builtin
[14:10] <lubosz> "sudo restart udev" does not work for me
[14:11] <paopao> who's ChanServ?
[14:11] <ikonia> paopao: it's a freenode network service
[14:12] <_d4vid> re..
[14:12] <paopao> ikonia, haha, i thought it was a person
[14:13] <paopao> then what is "op"
[14:13] <ikonia> paopao: do you need ubuntu help ?
[14:13] <MonkeyDust> paopao  "op" is "operator", supervisor, if you like (or don't like :p)
[14:14] <davide> hello
[14:15] <davide> someone knows which is the freenode support channel?
[14:15] <husien> lol
[14:15] <Super_Donkihote> hello everybody
[14:15] <ikonia> davide: #freenode
[14:15] <davide> thank you
[14:15] <paopao> thanx ikonia MonkeyDust

[14:16] <kosaidpo> hello guys
[14:16] <drPoO> how can I download all files of a given filetype from an FTP server??
[14:16] <kosaidpo> does heimdall work for galaxy mini ?
[14:16] <meerkats> what is the command to, in a EXT4 filesystem, reduce the lost and found folder to 1% of the total memory?
[14:17] <ikonia> %1 of the total memory ?
[14:17] <llutz_> meerkats: sure you mean the Lost&Found and not the root-reserved space?
[14:17] <sipior> meerkats: there is no such command. do you mean adjusting the reserved block count of the filesystem?
[14:17] <ikonia> meerkats: the lost+found folder is for lost/orphaned files
[14:17] <llutz_> meerkats: tune2fs -m ....
[14:18] <yougatup> wow
[14:18] <ikonia> meerkats: it is very unwise to change the reserved space on a file system though unless you know what you are doing
[14:18] <yougatup> Wow!!!!!
[14:18] <ikonia> yougatup: what ?
[14:18] <meerkats> i have no idea, its been too long since last time I did it, I mean the 5% reserved space that, for a 500GB HDD is too much
[14:18] <sipior> meerkats: agree strongly.
[14:18] <llutz_> meerkats: tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sdXY
[14:18] <yougatup> it is my first time to use IRC!
[14:18] <ikonia> meerkats: it's not too much
[14:18] <ikonia> meerkats: it's a buffer to stop your disk from having issues should you fill it up
[14:18] <yougatup> It's amazing!
[14:18] <ikonia> yougatup: ok, let me get you a link that may help
[14:18] <ikonia> !guildelines | yougatup
[14:19] <yougatup> how can exact that?
[14:19] <meerkats> ikonia, no programms, just data
[14:19] <drPoO> how can I download all files of a given filetype from an FTP server??
[14:19] <ikonia> meerkats: I said nothing about programs
[14:19] <yougatup> !guildelines
[14:19] <meerkats> and 1% of 500GB are 5GB, enough I believe...
[14:19] <MonkeyDust> !guidelines
[14:19] <llutz_> more than ...
[14:20] <the_perfect> ciao
[14:20] <meerkats> llutz, I assume tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sdXY works with partitions too...
[14:20] <the_perfect> :!list
[14:20] <rbrooks> >
[14:20] <llutz_> meerkats: /dev/sdXY refers to a partition

[14:24] <rbrooks> For support with 12.04 beta, /join #ubuntu+1 channel
[14:24] <ikonia> Hiob10hiob: you use launchpad.net
[14:24] <ikonia> Hiob10hiob: reporting a bug in an irc channel won't do much
[14:25] <tonnoriomare> hello!

[14:25] <Hiob10hiob> ikonia: i dont know how to do, so i ask in ubuntu+1 how to du

[14:25] <ikonia> paopao: what are you trying to do ?
[14:25] <ikonia> hi rbrooks
[14:25] <Bsims> Minor problem, I can't ssh into my computer, ssh localhost works when I am on it
[14:25] <philinux> Hiob10hiob: you can post about it here and discuss it. http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=412
[14:26] <rbrooks> how do?
[14:26] <Pici> paopao: If you have a question about irc services, please ask in #freenode.
[14:26] <paopao> i want to use the "op" command, and see if it works ikonia
[14:26] <ikonia> paopao: it won't work - you are not an operator in this channel
[14:26] <Hans_Henrik> i only got ssh access to a computer; i need to activate "remote desktop" from command line; any idea how i can do that+
[14:26] <Hans_Henrik> ?
[14:27] <Bsims> Minor problem, I can't ssh into my computer, ssh localhost works when I am on it, anyone have an idea?
[14:27] <paopao> well..
[14:27] <Bsims> Hans_Henrik: vnc or xforwarding will work for ya
[14:27] <rbrooks> !hello
[14:28] <LjL> rbrooks: you can keep trying, but it won't start working
[14:28] <rbrooks> bsdfreak, did you disable firewals
[14:28] <Hans_Henrik> Bsims: ye.. so how do i activate vnc from ssh?
[14:28] <rbrooks> crap
[14:29] <bittin> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiiLOKZLXz0 even
[14:29] <Bsims> Hans_Henrik if vnc is installed start it via screen iirc
[14:29] <Hans_Henrik> Bsims: i dont got access to the screen, i only got access via ssh
[14:30] <LjL> Hans_Henrik: "screen" is a program
[14:30] <rbrooks> no it is a program youu use
[14:30] <rbrooks> apt-get -i screen
[14:31] <MonkeyDust> what's -i ?
[14:31] <rbrooks> install?
[14:31] <rbrooks> crap thats wrong
[14:32] <MonkeyDust> apt-get install
[14:32] <rbrooks> ?
[14:32] <rbrooks> ok
[14:32] <ikonia> rbrooks: what's the issue ?
[14:32] <rbrooks> he needs to install screen
[14:32] <ikonia> !info screen
[14:32] <ikonia> rbrooks: sudo apt-get install screen
[14:33] <rbrooks> yep thats it!
[14:33] <ikonia> rbrooks: it's that simple
[14:33] <rbrooks> ahh
[14:33] <rbrooks> Hans_Henrik, ^^
[14:33] <rbrooks> -i is no work
[14:34] <rbrooks> ikonia, htnaks
[14:34] <GirlyGirl> Is it possible to have a clipboard in a tty? Stupid question I know, but just wondering
[14:34] <zykotick9> GirlyGirl: with screen you can
[14:36] <LjL> GirlyGirl: you can also with "gpm"
[14:36] <LjL> !info gpm
[14:36] <ikonia> does that actually have a clip board?
[14:36] <ikonia> I thought it was just a mouse driver for the tty, rather than a clipboard (1 cut and paste buffer)
[14:37] <rbrooks> yea it cut/paste
[14:37] <zykotick9> ikonia: gpm can highlight then left click to paste
[14:37] <LjL> ikonia: i really seem to recall you can copy and paste from it by default
[14:37] <ikonia> yeah, that's only one "line"
[14:37] <zykotick9> ikonia: sorry, right click ;)
[14:37] <ikonia> I didn't see that as a clipboard, I thought a clipboard was multiple items
[14:38] <LjL> ikonia: the "clipboard" as i always knew it is simply the copypaste buffer, might or might not support multiple items...
[14:38] <ikonia> LjL: just a wording miss-understanding
[14:42] <m4n_> guys, i searched on net and couldn't find a definitive solution so here i am. how to make sure ubuntu (10.04) does a disk fsck on reboot?
[14:42] <m4n_> any alternative for the "shutdown -rF now" command?
[14:42] <ikonia> m4n_: touch /.autofsk then reboot
[14:43] <m4n_> ikonia: can you tell me which script reads that? i read on net certain folks complaining about that method not working
[14:43] <rbrooks> touch /forcefsck
[14:43] <m4n_> yeah /forcefsck is the one i read about. right now, doing a grep for forsefsck in /etc
[14:43] <m4n_> no results so far
[14:44] <ikonia> m4n_: I'm not sure which actual init script reads it, I thought it was was a kernel thing upon boot
[14:44] <m4n_> wondering which init script is looking at it
[14:44] <ikonia> m4n_: I don't think it's a script for /forcefsck
[14:44] <ikonia> m4n_: I think it's a kernel thing when it does the initial mount
[14:44] <meerkats> one of my ntfs partitions (I have 2) doesnt have a mount point. Why?
[14:44] <m4n_> kernel? i doubt kernel doing that
[14:44] <ikonia> m4n_: why ?
[14:45] <ikonia> m4n_: it parses fstab and takes arguments for grub about what to mount and how
[14:45] <babble> it's not
[14:45] <babble> it's just a temporary file that gets deleted after fsck runs
[14:45] <ikonia> lets have a look
[14:45] <m4n_> ikonia: true. i dont know why i think so :)
[14:47] <ikonia> m4n_: on olod sysVinit machines it's rc.sysinit
[14:47] <ikonia> old
[14:48] <ikonia> so I'd assume the same is true on modern upstart systems too
[14:48] <m4n_> thats what i thought. but i dont see it anywhere in /etc
[14:48] <ikonia> m4n_: some quite good info on Redhat based systems, so it shouldn't be too hard to translate to Debian/Ubuntu based setups
[14:49] <aRaaa> Anyone about to give some advice?
[14:50] <bazhang> aRaaa, ask a question related to ubuntu
[14:50] <rbrooks> ok
[14:51] <rbrooks> i think he just wan tsome advise
[14:51] <aRaaa> Basically, iv installed GuilWard, Iv got the icon on the desktop. Im using Ubuntu 11.10 on an iMac. And when i try to launch GuildWars, the small loading window appears and loads to 100, but then does nothing else, it just wont go no further
[14:51] <aRaaa> Im just wondering if theres something iv missed?
[14:52] <aRaaa> GuildWars
[14:52] <rbrooks> it should work...
[14:52] <aRaaa> **
[14:52] <rbrooks> in wine, glitchy button textures iirc
[14:52] <auronandace> aRaaa: is that a windows game? if so try looking in the appdb for wine
[14:52] <auronandace> !appdb
[14:53] <rbrooks> i advise you to play it in windows
[14:53] <aRaaa> But what exactly am i looking for, and change?
[14:53] <asad2005> how can i change folders and subfolder permition with chmod +x without affecting normal files. i mean only folders
[14:53] <belkhouja> bjr tt le monde je suis entrain d'installer bootpxe sur un centos je voulé que les ordinateur qui vont étre connécté en reseaux utilise ubuntu desktop alors jai bien ajouté le dossier ubuntu é limage execute mais a la fin il maffiche une erreur  busybox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ash) ...(initramfs)
[14:53] <Xabster> !wine
[14:53] <llutz_> asad2005: chmod -R +X dir/
[14:53] <llutz_> asad2005: uppercase x
[14:53] <OerHeks> !fr | belkhouja
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> llutz_: that will do files too
[14:54] <llutz_> ActionParsnip: man chmod
[14:54] <belkhouja> merci
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> llutz_: or is -X for folders only? freaky
[14:54] <m4n_> asad2005: find /path -type d -exec chmod 755 {} +
[14:54] <asad2005> will this affect files or just folders
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> m4n_: yeah, i'd have gone that way
[14:54] <aRaaa> And where do i find appdb you mentioned?
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> llutz_: reading man
[14:54] <rbrooks> they arent 'folders'
[14:55] <OerHeks> !appdb | aRaaa
[14:56] <aRaaa> Would switching to Linux from Ubuntu make a difference?
[14:56] <MonkeyDust> aRaaa  Ubuntu *is* a Linux distro
[14:57] <droid-0854> As far as chmod can help you complete tasks faster u should take time to learn chgrp chmod and learn about inode
[14:57] <auronandace> aRaaa: what are you talking about?
[14:57] <aRaaa> Yeah but i thought Linux created Ubuntu, but they wer seperate operating system. I dont know alot about this
[14:57] <compdoc> naw
[14:57] <gsommer> php5-imap seems to be compiled with kerberos support. When connecting to an imap server, the connection will try kerberos first (which will fail, as the system does not use kerberos). I cannot uninstall kerberos support, as php and apache seems to depend on this. How can I then get around this?
[14:58] <babble> Ubuntu is to Linux as Pepsi is to beverages.
[14:58] <rbrooks> there was a Linux war' in 1088
[14:58] <compdoc> Ubuntu is just one flavor of Linux
[14:58] <ktml78> glasz, output di lsusb:Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0d8e:7802 Global Sun Technology, Inc. AR5523 (no firmware)
[14:58] <babble> Ubuntu is a linux distribution, among many others.
[14:58] <auronandace> aRaaa: linux is a kernel, the core of the operating system, ubuntu uses linux as its kernel
[14:58] <MonkeyDust> aRaaa  offtopic: then kindly start here http://mybroadband.co.za/news/software/32474-a-windows-users-guide-to-linux.html
[14:58] <rbrooks> around the time of the 'dark ages'
[14:59] <sskalnik__> If I install a package, then modify or replace a file it installed, will I break the package install?
[14:59] <auronandace> rbrooks: stop the offtopic please
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> aRaaa: linux is the kernel, the thing around it is the distribution
[14:59] <aRaaa> Well i just wanna get GW running. but it doesnt seem to happen
[15:00] <droid-0854> Sskalnik,  you need to get all the links exact.
[15:00] <auronandace> aRaaa: then ask in #wine like you have been told
[15:00] <bazhang> #winehq actually
[15:00] <aRaaa> Yes sir...
[15:00] <droid-0854> Symbolic and Hard
[15:00] <rbrooks> it doesnt matter you cannt see the buttons they all look same
[15:00] <auronandace> bazhang: thanks
[15:00] <rbrooks> to hard tpo play GW in wine
[15:00] <glasz> ktml78: sorry i dint get it?
[15:01] <rbrooks> i just read box and it req dx8?
[15:01] <meerkats> I have 3 partitions in a esb stick: 1 EXT4 and 2 NTFS: one NTFS does not show any mount point, why?
[15:02] <droid-0854> ESB?
[15:02] <MonkeyDust> meerkats  maybe you have to mount it manually
[15:02] <auronandace> he means usb
[15:02] <meerkats> yes, usb, and I cannot sudo mount /dev/sdb3: mount: can't find /dev/sdb3 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[15:03] <meerkats> I have tried with gparted, but I cannot either
[15:03] <MonkeyDust> meerkats  what's the outcome of sudo fdisk -l ? use pastebin
[15:03] <llutz_> meerkats: you need to specify a mountpoint
[15:04] <meerkats> MonkeyDust, pastebin for 3 lines of text?
[15:05] <d0lph1nk1ng> hello!
[15:05] <rbrooks> hi
[15:05] <droid-0854> Yo!
[15:05] <d0lph1nk1ng> i'm trying out irssi... pretty sweet
[15:05] <meerkats> there http://pastebin.com/N3vBpMt1
[15:06] <rbrooks> meh
[15:06] <rbrooks> i like weechat
[15:06] <meerkats> sdb3 is the one that cannot be miunted
[15:06] <meerkats> mounted
[15:06] <MonkeyDust> meerkats  create a folder with an easy name and then type sudo mount /dev/sda3 [that name]
[15:07] <d0lph1nk1ng> @rbrooks, why is that one so good?
[15:07] <rbrooks> greater functionality in ncurses
[15:07] <meerkats> MonkeyDust, I assume you want me to create a folder in dev/sdb3...
[15:07] <auronandace> meerkats: no, he wants you to create a mountpoint
[15:08] <meerkats> in dev/sda3?
[15:08] <sskalnik__> droid-0854:  I do not fully comprehend. I understand hard and symlinks, but I do not understand the answer as a whole.
[15:08] <llutz_> meerkats: you need to specify a mountpoint (sudo mkdir /media/sdb3 && sudo mount /dev/sdb3 /media/sdb3)
[15:08] <droid-0854> meerkats, might need sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb3 /mnt/yourfolder
[15:08] <hwilde> how do I change my default shell to bash?
[15:08] <szal> rbrooks: Weechat is nice, but it has one, imho important, unaddressed shortcoming (in fact, a bug report on this issue was turned down) - the way it breaks lines, that's a lot prettier in Irssi
[15:08] <MonkeyDust> meerkats  no, in your personal folder
[15:08] <Pici> hwilde: run chsh
[15:08] <auronandace> meerkats: sudo mount /dev/sdb3 /your/mnt/point
[15:08] <rbrooks> same interface (ncurses, but more stuff
[15:08] <hwilde> Pici, permanently
[15:08] <Pici> hwilde: That will do it permanently.
[15:08] <rbrooks> szal, ok thats interesting
[15:08] <FrozenMind> Meerkats -- create the mounting folder in a place like /mnt or /mount or ~/ and then use mount /dev/sd(blah) to /mnt/(folder name here)
[15:09] <hwilde> Pici, not changing the simlinks in /bin ?
[15:09] <rbrooks> i havent used in so long...
[15:09] <Pici> hwilde: Er, not it updates your user's entry in /etc/passwd
[15:09] <Pici> s/not/no/
[15:09] <droid-0854> !! mount -t ntfs  !!
[15:09] <mike2> i just switched to weechat from irsii.  I much prefer weechat too.
[15:10] <rbrooks> i did like irssi barebonesness, but weechat seemed more advnce

[15:20] <LukeNukem_> ikonia, do i leave file access to ---
[15:20] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: what ?
[15:20] <ikonia> file access --- ?
[15:21] <szal> LukeNukem_: define '---'
[15:21] <ikonia> define file access
[15:21] <LukeNukem_> huh
[15:21] <llutz_> pretty safe to have chmod 000 ...
[15:21] <LukeNukem_> what does 000 d
[15:21] <LukeNukem_> do*
[15:21] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: don't do 000
[15:21] <rbrooks> d0lph1nk1ng, <szal> rbrooks: Weechat is nice, but it has one, imho important, unaddressed shortcoming (in fact, a bug report on this issue was turned down) - the way it breaks lines, that's a lot prettier in Irssi
[15:21] <LukeNukem_> ikonia, in the options there are file access ---
[15:21] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: I've given you the permissions and how to do it, what part are you not clear with
[15:21] <wylde> LukeNukem: use terminal not nautilus
[15:21] <rbrooks> if you missed
[15:22] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: how are you setting the permissions ?
[15:22] <rbrooks> i liked it
[15:22] <rbrooks> but i didnt notice this bug :/
[15:22] <LukeNukem_> this is stupid, i set others to none access
[15:22] <Robinux> is there an ad-blocks add on/extension for chrome/chromium?
[15:22] <szal> rbrooks: it's not exactly a bug, more of an inconveniency
[15:22] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: how are you setting the permissions ?
[15:22] <LukeNukem_> and it can still be accessed via the brwoser
[15:23] <LukeNukem_> ikonia, chown via terminal
[15:23] <LukeNukem_> other stuff normally
[15:23] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: what chown command did you use ?
[15:23] <LukeNukem_> chown :webcoders /var/www/
[15:23] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: that's not what I said do
[15:23] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: chown $user:group
[15:23] <LukeNukem_> ^what does that do
[15:23] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: you need the "owner":"group owner"
[15:23] <szal> rbrooks: you see what I mean if you compare lines copied from the chat window and the behaviour for long URLs in Irssi and Weechat
[15:23] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: so chown luke:webcoder
[15:24] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: better still, chown -R (recuersive)
[15:24] <ikonia> recursive
[15:24] <LukeNukem_> i tried marshall:webcoder
[15:24] <LukeNukem_> it says invalid group
[15:24] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: grep webcoder /etc/group
[15:24] <LukeNukem_> okay it was webcoders
[15:24] <LukeNukem_> ok i set the chown
[15:24] <ikonia> there we go
[15:25] <LukeNukem_> ok i have this includes folder
[15:25] <LukeNukem_> i want that to be accessible by me and php
[15:25] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: you've said that
[15:25] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: do what I told you
[15:25] <LukeNukem_> if anybody try to view that through browser, it should show forbidden
[15:26] <LukeNukem_> i got includes folder, the directory is being shown :s
[15:26] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: you'll need to lock that at the webserver level then, as "php" is the webserver, so if the webserver can "read" it it will be displayed
[15:26] <rbrooks> szal, i see...  ncurses interface makes changes difficult for devs??  hehe
[15:26] <LukeNukem_> ikonia, not necessarily, i have seen many websites lock the folders and yet server has access to it
[15:26] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: you'll need to code some sort of security either before that page, or into the web server config
[15:26] <LukeNukem_> owner will be set to www-data
[15:26] <LukeNukem_> or a group
[15:26] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: yes, and I've just told you how they do it
[15:26] <LukeNukem_> brb
[15:27] <Spec> do you need read permission to execute php? :p
[15:27] <Spec> oh, if they're includes, i suppose you would.

[15:39] <LukeNukem_> ikonia, what is -R
[15:39] <auronandace> meerkats: root is not a windows concept, i don't understand what you mean

[15:40] <nujabes> OerHeks, okay i got what you mean now how do i do it?
[15:40] <carl_> ok, I need a java application to start with the box starts up.
[15:40] <auronandace> meerkats: windows will simply see a ntfs partition and mount it read/write for your user
[15:40] <carl_> I was planing on using monit to make sure it remail\ns up and running.
[15:40] <meerkats> auronandace, ok, ill give it a try... btw, I have a tails copy in this same usb stick and a third EXT4 partition: I dont expect windows to read or mount ext4 and tails, but I do expect it to read NTFS
[15:40] <LukeNukem_> ikonia, chmod -R /var/www?
[15:40] <OerHeks> nujabes, paste the read.me in paste.ubuntu.com and give the url here.
[15:41] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: NO!
[15:41] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: come on, please try to pay attention
[15:41] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: chmod -R 700
[15:41] <bittin> back home
[15:41] <LukeNukem_> ok
[15:42] <nujabes> OerHeks, thanks http://paste.ubuntu.com/890814/
[15:42] <wylde> LukeNukem_: man chown   and/or man chmod  <--- read, you should a least attempt to educate yourself rather then be spoon fed every step. ... Just sayin...
[15:42] <LukeNukem_> ikonia, ok php gets permission denied :|
[15:43] <LukeNukem_> www-data is php user right/
[15:43] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: that is the webserver user, yes
[15:43] <LukeNukem_> well
[15:43] <LukeNukem_> webserver cant access the files

[15:43] <pfifo> -_-
[15:43] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: who is the owner of that directory ?
[15:43] <LukeNukem_> marshall - Marshall
[15:44] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: ok - so what do  you expect
[15:44] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: you've just changed the permissions so only the owner has access,
[15:44] <LukeNukem_> but group: webcoders
[15:44] <LukeNukem_> webcoders has www-data and marshall in it
[15:44] <OerHeks> nujabes, it is easy, open terminal, cd into the folder where you extracted the tar, and execute android-sdk with 'android'
[15:44] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: 15:35 < LukeNukem_> ikonia, i wanna do something like owner - full access others - no access
[15:44] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: you said I want the "OWNER" to have full access
[15:44] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: I've just given the owner full access
[15:45] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: the owner is not www-data - what do you expec to happen
[15:45] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: think about what you are saying/asking for
[15:45] <wylde> LukeNukem_: ikonia already to you, for that kind of setting you need to change settings in your webserver config. If it's apache2 see /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and try googling apache2 <directory>
[15:45] <LukeNukem_> i meant i wanted to set owner to the group
[15:46] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: you can't do that
[15:46] <nujabes> OerHeks, That's it? awesome thanks, but I'd like to put the file somewhere besides my download file. should i just drop it in my home directory?
[15:46] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: the owner is an individual
[15:46] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: a group is a collection of users
[15:46] <MonkeyDust> LukeNukem_  that sounds like basics, why not learn the basics online, first, there are plenty tutorials
[15:46] <LukeNukem_> ikonia, so i have to use vsever config ?
[15:46] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: the format is "owner:group"
[15:46] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: no, you need to change the permissions within either the webserver as an application, or put a permissions application around it
[15:46] <LukeNukem_> ikonia, if i set owner to www, and then set chmod to 770
[15:47] <OerHeks> nujabes, you can put it anywere into your ~/home
[15:47] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: file system permissions are no the way to do that
[15:47] <wylde> MonkeyDust: I thin khe wants to been spoonfed every step rather than even attempt to educate himself, IMHO

[15:51] <LukeNukem_> that looks fine ikonia ?

[15:52] <ActionParsnip> abhinavmehta: what gpu do you use?
[15:52] <abhinavmehta> its Nvidia 9600
[15:52] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: I told you, it's not something you'll do with file system permissions
[15:52] <LukeNukem_> ikonia, well, the forbidden thingie i will do that with .htaccess
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> abhinavmehta: add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[15:52] <LukeNukem_> does the perms look fine otherwise?
[15:52] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: is there a reason you are not listening to what I'm telling you ?
[15:52] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: no, looks bad
[15:52] <mdpatrick> I have a service being automatically started via init.d… how do I provide my binary (varnished) with various start time arguments?????
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> abhinavmehta: after the first boot you can install the proprietary driver and be ok
[15:53] <abhinavmehta> ActionParsnip: ok..lemme try
[15:53] <LukeNukem_> ikonia, the owner and group can read and write, others can only access
[15:53] <LukeNukem_> i will forbid access using .htaccess from apache
[15:53] <ikonia> LukeNukem_: up to you what you do
[15:57] <abhinavmehta> ActionParsnip: I pressed 'c' at GRUB, and it pop-up with text box, with some pre-written entries…I've added "nouveau.blacklist=1" as the last line, and hit Ctrl+X……again blank-screen. Doing something wrong..?
[15:58] <arvinder> using COBOl in ubuntu????
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> abhinavmehta: hold SHIFT at boot, press E to (e)dit the line, delete: quiet splash   then add the boot option in it's place

[15:59] <ActionParsnip> !info open-cobol
[15:59] <nujabes> I'm trying to get conky to work. ran in terminal, said no config, but i check the file and it looks okay
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> arvinder: people still use Cobol in 2012?
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> nujabes: do you have ~/.conkyrc
[16:00] <bazhang> nujabes, checked the conky's beginner guide yet?
[16:00] <meerkats>  in Windows you can't use more than 1 partition on a USB pen unless you mount it as non-removable
[16:00] <meerkats> is that true?
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> meerkats: Windows is offtopic here, ask in ##windows
[16:00] <bazhang> meerkats, ##windows for that please
[16:00] <nujabes> bazhang, yeah or what i thought was the beginner guide
[16:00] <nujabes> bazhang, is it on conky's site?
[16:01] <arvinder> no dude...i m just wants to know about cobol
[16:01] <bazhang> nujabes, ubuntuforums
[16:01] <abhinavmehta> ActionParsnip: before "quite splash", there is something like "a75-72ba46bf5236 ro" is also written..should I delete that text too..?
[16:01] <meerkats> okok
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> abhinavmehta: just delete quiet splash and put it in it's place
[16:02] <nujabes> ActionParsnip, thats in my home folder?
[16:02] <FloatingGoat> how do i get java to work on ubuntu 12.04
[16:02] <pfifo> ActionParsnip, cobol is awesom, i got a huge stack of punch cards for a pong game
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> nujabes: yes, ~/.conkyrc == /home/$USER/.conkyrc == $HOME/.conkyrc
[16:02] <abhinavmehta> ActionParsnip: Thanks..it worked.
[16:02] <abhinavmehta> :)
[16:02] <MonkeyDust> FloatingGoat  #ubuntu+1
[16:03] <FloatingGoat> meerkats: does that mean there is currently no way?
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> abhinavmehta: now you have a desktop, you can install the proprietary driver and you won't need the boot option
[16:03] <waxstone> pfifo: wow@cobol user ;P
[16:03] <nujabes> ActionParsnip, yeah it's not there. I have to make that file right?
[16:03] <pfifo> waxstone, i was j/k
[16:03] <abhinavmehta> ActionParsnip: but surprising, that I never encountered with this ever before….I've installed LTS 10.4 so many times….
[16:03] <meerkats> FloatingGoat, I just repeated what somebody in ##windows
[16:04] <abhinavmehta> ActionParsnip: hmm...
[16:04] <FloatingGoat> oh
[16:04] <meerkats> and apparently it cant, I yesterday tried it and it didnt work
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> abhinavmehta: the display timings were moved into the kernel. newer versions have this issue and is why lucid was ok
[16:04] <FrozenMind> meerkats: that would be a good reason as to why you were having trouble earlier o.O
[16:05] <mneptok> meerkats: what Windows does and does not do it offtopic for an Ubuntu support channel. at any time.
[16:05] <meerkats> most probably FrozenMind

[16:24] <bummer> monkeydust, sorry to say, but i am looking to manually edit the config file. It was normally like /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf
[16:24] <Onkeltem> hi all
[16:24] <pfifo> bummer, /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf
[16:25] <bummer> pfifo, thanks, let me check it.
[16:26] <Onkeltem> I have two displays in nvidia TwinView mode. The problem is that only right screen really has workspaces - left one doesn't switch workspace and I see same windows
[16:26] <Onkeltem> Gnome 3/gnome-shell on Ubuntu 11.10
[16:27] <bummer> /usr/lib/X11 there is no /xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf Is this okay to create one?
[16:29] <user1>  what is tcp/ip and udp port numbers, pls tell
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> user1: of what service?
[16:30] <bummer> thanks for your support, i had manually created a folder and settings file, i will restart my system now.
[16:30] <FrozenMind> user1 you need to be more defined.... there are ports ranging from 1 to 65535

[16:31] <Halexander9000> Greetings Gentlehumans! I found my old copy of San Andreas and wanted to play in with WINE. Problem is, when I start the game, it fades to white then black for three times and then the menu entries are all rectangles. I tried to guess where the New Game entry was and it crashed. Can anyone please give me a solution?
[16:31] <ikonia> Halexander9000: use windows for windows games
[16:31] <bazhang> Halexander9000, /join #winehq after checking the appdb
[16:32] <bazhang> !appdb | Halexander9000
[16:32] <Halexander9000> ikonia: ...
[16:33] <bazhang> Halexander9000, #winehq is for particular app support
[16:33] <meerkats> I dont know how, but now the usb stick has a /dev/sdc1 partition, and 2 icons appear on my desktop that correspond to sdb3 and sdb1, partitions that no longer exist, what have I've been messing with?
[16:35] <Halexander9000> bazhang: I checked the appdb and it said it's platinum.
[16:35] <FrozenMind> meerkats, when you put the use stick into the windows computer, did you tell it to fix disk or something? cause windows should not have touched it unless you told it to... but then again... it likes to touch anything... o.O
[16:35] <bazhang> Halexander9000, and you should get help in #winehq as I mentioned
[16:36] <Halexander9000> bazhang: Help is really slow then.
[16:36] <FrozenMind> use = usb* disobedient fingers... i have them...
[16:36] <meerkats> FrozenMind, windows didnt recognize the NTFS usb stick without partitions...
[16:36] <bazhang> Halexander9000, be patient
[16:36] <Resistance> Halexander9000: patience is a requirement :P
[16:37] <Halexander9000> bazhang: Resistance: Can I also be persistent?
[16:38] <FrozenMind> meerkats: more then likely when you plug it in after you used it on ubuntu, windows smeared its... uh... lovingness... all over it... that or the mount didn't occur correctly... o.O type in "mount" and see if you have it mounted correctly...
[16:38] <meerkats> well, at least the damn windowd recognizes the usb... (Offtopic I knoww, Ill shut up now)

[16:47] <Aikar> I also have an SSD which may be affecting things

[16:48] <satyanash> I mean, where is the sort selection menu/button ?
[16:49] <Aikar> how would i change that O.o
[16:49] <pfifo> Aikar, my laptop has a function button for it, you could also plug in a monitor
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> Aikar: what GPU do you use?
[16:51] <drvanon_> they say my apt sounds broken, is there anyway to repair it?
[16:52] <drvanon_> (broken because: gzip: /home/drvanon/.cache/apt-file/nl.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric_Contents-i386.gz: invalid compressed data--format violated)
[16:52] <FrozenMind> Aikar: Do you have another monitor plugged into the computer as you are installing? if no then ActionParsnip's question will more then likely point us in the right direction
[16:53] <Aikar> ActionParsnip: its dedicated but also has an integrated chip too i believe? http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/laptops/NP-RC512-S01US

[17:00] <bazhang> Halexander9000, yes, #winehq for particular apps
[17:01] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: Appdb said that GTAIII:San Andreas is platinum.
[17:01] <Zaitzev> I don't get how Flash 11 that is supposed to work on 64-bit systems are still broken.
[17:02] <drvanon_> ActionParsnip: all the rm ing sound scary
[17:03] <auronandace> Zaitzev: ask adobe
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> drvanon_: it just deletes the knowledge of ANY packages on the system, then you pull them down again
[17:03] <diminoten> how reliable is apt?
[17:03] <Zaitzev> well, I think it's more of an issue with the installation..
[17:03] <auronandace> diminoten: define reliable
[17:04] <diminoten> will it ever misreport dependencies
[17:04] <llutz_> diminoten: if packages are broken, it will
[17:04] <mneptok> diminoten: dependencies are defined in packages, not by apt.
[17:04] <auronandace> diminoten: stick to just the official repos and that will never happen
[17:04] <MonkeyDust> diminoten  start from the beginning, what makes you ask that question
[17:04] <diminoten> well git-core, for example, does not list openssl as a dep
[17:05] <diminoten> but will install it, and will remove openssl when uninstalled
[17:05] <diminoten> so I might have a repo that's weird?
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> drvanon_: its basically the package fix doc from the ubuntu pages in a script
[17:06] <auronandace> diminoten: are you using a ppa
[17:06] <Zaitzev> According to the Adobe testpage, flash is installed and "working", but on most (not all) flashvideos I get either an error, or it doesn't want to start playing. And I know the video is there, tested it on a windows pc..
[17:06] <drvanon_> well Nice
[17:06] <diminoten> not that I know of
[17:06] <maloik> After alternate install it seems grub fails to install its bootloader. I run a bios raid0 setup which I suspect to be the issue. Any ideas on what I could try ?
[17:06] <diminoten> all out-of-the-box repos, afaik
[17:06] <diminoten> let me check
[17:06] <MonkeyDust> diminoten  for a start, it says here: "git-core" has been renamed to "git"
[17:07] <diminoten> how recently?
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> drvanon_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure
[17:07] <diminoten> (I'm in 10.04 if that's helpful)
[17:07] <MonkeyDust> diminoten  type apt-cache show git-core and you'll see

[17:08] <neohaven> Hello there #ubuntu. Quick question. Is there a simple way to get a complete (including DNS) DHCP response before run-init in an initramfs?
[17:08] <nujabes> diminoten, i know pachages in my 10.10 are different form 11.04 and 11.10
[17:09] <diminoten> yeah, it's definitely different
[17:09] <diminoten> because apt-cache show git
[17:09] <diminoten> gives nothing
[17:09] <nujabes> and the repo is different too
[17:09] <auronandace> !info git-core lucid
[17:10] <diminoten> so it doesn't depend on openssl
[17:10] <diminoten> or so it claims
[17:11] <nujabes> diminoten, what the name of the package?
[17:11] <diminoten> huh, doesn't attempt to remove openssl either

[17:24] <orionsonofneptun> in the ubuntu memory test what is a ecc correctable error
[17:24] <ikonia> jsmith-argotec: this channel is for ubuntu support
[17:24] <orionsonofneptun> the test on the instal cd???
[17:24] <ikonia> orionsonofneptun: it's for EEC ram
[17:24] <belgianguy> hi, is there a special IRC for GUI design?
[17:24] <orionsonofneptun> whats eec
[17:25] <bazhang> !alis | belgianguy
[17:25] <ikonia> orionsonofneptun: type of ram
[17:25] <jsmith-argotec> ikonia: well I am running on 10.04 - I'll explain briefly and maybe you can help guide me :-)
[17:26] <orionsonofneptun> ok ive got whats called a eec correctable error
[17:26] <orionsonofneptun> please explain
[17:26] <jsmith-argotec> ikonia: I have a program that calls 'uname -n' and I need to figure out how to intercept the call and run a different command
[17:26] <ikonia> jsmith-argotec: as in, instead of calling uname -n it does something else
[17:27] <jamesbeebop> Hi all.  11.10 64 bit inside a Virtualbox guest, Windows 7 host, and I'm having a problem with graphics going 'fuzzy' and not refreshing when I drag a window.
[17:27] <jamesbeebop> Wondering what direction I should be looking.
[17:27] <Aikar> ok having coworker burn me a new dvd, since this work laptop doesnt have a burner and the laptops windows install is fubared :(
[17:27] <jsmith-argotec> ikonia: as in it does call uname -n but I'm trying to run it in a cluster so I want it use something like host x.x.x.x
[17:27] <Aikar> installed windows updates and drivers cause it to BSOD boot now :/ stupid windows
[17:27] <jsmith-argotec> ikonia: it's a binary so I can't just change the command like in an init script
[17:28] <ikonia> jsmith-argotec: then I would suggest not doing it
[17:28] <ikonia> jsmith-argotec: changing binaries is just a no go unless you have the source
[17:29] <jsmith-argotec> ikonia: maybe not even close but could you wrap the program somehow and redirect it when it tries to call uname?
[17:29] <belgianguy> Alis isn't really helpful
[17:29] <ikonia> jsmith-argotec: me - I wouldn't uname is important, so trying to put a wrapper around it isn't something I'd suggest
[17:29] <ikonia> jsmith-argotec: (being honest)
[17:30] <jsmith-argotec> ikonia: no I wouldn't want to do that! figured it would break lots of things!
[17:30] <jsmith-argotec> ikonia: wanted to know if I could wrap the binary that goes looking for uname (that I don't have source for)
[17:31] <bazhang> belgianguy, ask in #freenode
[17:31] <ikonia> jsmith-argotec: no, not really
[17:31] <jsmith-argotec> ikonia: too bad :-(  thanks for the help though!
[17:31] <lotuspsychje> is there an ntfs checkdisk tool for ubuntu?
[17:32] <ikonia> jsmith-argotec: apologies, just being honest for a solution
[17:32] <Slart> lotuspsychje: there is a tool to check the disk, I think.. but nothing to fix problems
[17:33] <jsmith-argotec> ikonia: not your fault - windows companies aren't very linux helpful!
[17:33] <lotuspsychje> Slart: i got a weird error on an usb stick saying it cant mount (check with ntfs checkdisk)
[17:33] <pfifo> eww ntfs formatted usb stick
[17:34] <lotuspsychje> pfifo: what format u suggest?
[17:34] <pfifo> lotuspsychje, fat32 or ext2
[17:34] <satyanash> pfifo, fat32..on a 32GB USB Drive is pointless.
[17:34] <lotuspsychje> pfifo: as you know fat32 has 4gig limit
[17:35] <lotuspsychje> does ext have limits?
[17:35] <Slart> lotuspsychje: I haven't had that happen to me before so I can't really recommend anything.. here's some short info on the ntfs tools available http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ntfsprogs
[17:35] <pfifo> hence the 'or ext2'
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> loucal: yes but they are ridiculously high
[17:35] <satyanash> lotuspsychje, yes, but they are astronomically high..
[17:35] <lotuspsychje> Slart: tnx alot m8
[17:35] <lotuspsychje> satyanash: ok next format ill test ext2
[17:36] <Slart> lotuspsychje: I assume you're using ntfs because you want to be able to use the usb stick on a windows computer.. the easiest solution would be to either use that windoes computer to also check the usb stick or install some flavour of windows in a wm
[17:36] <barefoot> anyway to delete posts from paste.ubuntu.com ?
[17:36] <lotuspsychje> so after making an ext2 format, can the stick be readed by windows too?
[17:36] <Slart> lotuspsychje: you're welcome.. hope you find some kind of solution
[17:37] <satyanash> lotuspsychje, no, Windows does not support anything other than NTFS and FAT*
[17:37] <KBentley57> why note format it fat32?
[17:37] <josvuk> Can someone reports me what is the average cpu usage for a ubuntu desktop doing nothing ?
[17:37] <LjL> satyanash, lotuspsychje: actually while Windows doesn't spport ext* natively, there are drivers for it.
[17:38] <josvuk> My is about 10% that seems to much, right?
[17:38] <satyanash> LjL, I think I've heard of EXt2 explore or some tool like that.
[17:38] <dr3mro> hello .. I use ubuntu 11.10 with unity >> is it possible to use slimbrowse.com compression proxy with openVPN on ubuntu at same time .. and how to do that ???
[17:39] <satyanash> josvuk, depends on the CPU.
[17:39] <dr3mro> I mean use both .. VPN and Proxy
[17:39] <lotuspsychje> an usb stick is mostly a sharing solution between diff Oses, so i tought ntfs would be most compatible no?
[17:39] <Slart> josvuk: that depends.. some/most cpus downclock to save energy.. that makes the cpu usage go higher.. at least on my system
[17:39] <SaRSAeOL> ljl or satyanash: just out of curiosity does ubuntu have support for exFat?
[17:39] <LjL> SaRSAeOL: i don't think so
[17:39] <SaRSAeOL> hmm
[17:39] <mcb_>  josvuk: You problably has services that are started at boot time, it is quite dificult to have a system that realy "does nothing".
[17:40] <pfifo> lotuspsychje, also fat32 doesnt have a 4gb limit, you can easily format your 32gb drive with fat32, the 4gb limit refers to the maximum size of files
[17:40] <pfifo> lotuspsychje, which makes fat32 the most compatible
[17:40] <lotuspsychje> pfifo: i know all mkv video's these days are like 12gig, so my 32gig usb is best in ntfs for me
[17:41] <dr3mro> you can use exfat in ubuntuu SaRSAeOL
[17:41] <josvuk> mcb: the most sevices started use 0.0% according to top how much cpu usage do you have?
[17:42] <dr3mro> SaRSAeOL, http://apcmag.com/how-to-enable-exfat-in-ubuntu.htm
[17:42] <SaRSAeOL> dr3mro:  is there a specific version that added support, I'm reading a tutorial on how to add the capability but is it native in any new version?
[17:42] <belgianguy> Anyone else could point me to a good resource on all the GUI paradigms (and their inner workings) that exist for Ubuntu?
[17:42] <SaRSAeOL> dr3mro:  lol thats the exact site I'm on
[17:42] <satyanash> josvuk, My CPU1 = CPU2 = ~7%
[17:42] <dr3mro> SaRSAeOL, just add the ppa and do install the app and then mount your disks as expalined
[17:43] <SaRSAeOL> dr3mro:  yeah pretty straight forward ty
[17:43] <deadbeef> guys, how to stop the fan on ubuntu ?
[17:43] <dr3mro> SaRSAeOL, but why exfat .. fat32 is good and universal between MAC / WIN / NIX
[17:43] <lotuspsychje> belgianguy: whats it for excactly?
[17:43] <SaRSAeOL> dr3mro: get around the 4GB files size limit
[17:44] <rbrooks> <-- ubuntu fan
[17:44] <dr3mro> SaRSAeOL, u can then use NTFS :)
[17:44] <belgianguy> lotuspsychje: just seeing how hard it would be to create something like this: http://www.fixingwindows8.com/2012/03/a-brief-narrative-explaining-why-win8-is-broken/
[17:44] <SaRSAeOL> dr3mro: i work in a mixed enviro with ubutnu, osx, and windows… ntfs is not writable in osx except with an unstable driver
[17:44] <belgianguy> sorry, wrong link (:s)
[17:45] <belgianguy> lotuspsychje: http://www.theverge.com/2012/2/24/2822891/windows-desktop-ui-concept
[17:45] <josvuk> satyanash: So my isn't to be to bad, but what about the Xorg server my use about 5%
[17:45] <mcb_> josvuk: I have a lot services running for test in my machine, shoudnt do no good for comparison, but it is about 20% cpu1 e 2.
[17:45] <belgianguy> it looks pretty nice, and I was wondering what kind of effort it would take
[17:45] <tbruff13> can someone tell me how to join the Ubuntu bug squad
[17:45] <satyanash> josvuk, that is my usage with Firefox, banshee, libreoffice writer, xchat.. xorg, apache,mysql and whatnot..
[17:45] <tbruff13> I have a launchpad account is that enough
[17:46] <dr3mro> SaRSAeOL, does OSX have EXFAT stable driver yet /
[17:46] <SaRSAeOL> dr3mro: yes since 10.6
[17:46] <dr3mro> odd they support exfat and not stable in ntfs ?
[17:46] <satyanash> josvuk, But obviously all almost idling around..
[17:46] <dusf> can anyone tell me why apt-get is aborting even though i tell it Y to install? http://pastebin.com/uFzzEbvv
[17:46] <SaRSAeOL> dr3mro: agreed
[17:46] <lotuspsychje> belgianguy: not happy with unity?
[17:46] <SaRSAeOL> dr3mro:  but you know apple
[17:47] <belgianguy> lotuspsychje: I'm happy, but I wanted to see what it takes
[17:47] <belgianguy> and what makes it tick
[17:47] <josvuk> satyanash: do you use software rasterization or the gpu? I use the first :-(
[17:48] <belgianguy> I'm okay with Unity, I transitioned pretty smoothly
[17:48] <belgianguy> but I'm just curious if Ubuntu could be made to look like that
[17:48] <belgianguy> whether it's through Unity/GNOME/other
[17:49] <satyanash> josvuk, ohh.. yea.. I have an Nvidia Card doing all the Graphics stuff..forgot to mention that.
[17:50] <nvz> does anyone have any thoughts on why chromium browser cannot handle magnet links? FF handles them fine and they open with transmission.
[17:51] <OerHeks> nvz chromium handles them fine, here
[17:52] <josvuk> Hm, so I have to recompile realy the kernel without the radeonfb driver :-( I have a radeon card  the xorg server should use quite little cpu
[17:52] <magma> why when I export a var like PATH, when I reboot the system, I lost the PATH that I had set
[17:52] <nvz> OerHeks: hmm, absolutely nothing happens here, I've even gone as far as trying to find extensions to extract the links
[17:52] <magma> ?
[17:52] <tbruff13> can someone tell me how to join the ubuntu bug squad
[17:52] <dr_willis> magma:  because thats how export works..
[17:52] <dr_willis> set the var in a init script
[17:52] <josvuk> is there a howto compile the kernel on ubuntu docs anywhere? especially for ppc
[17:52] <josvuk> P
[17:53] <magma> dr_willis, that's the way of doing it?
[17:53] <zykotick9> !kernel | josvuk
[17:53] <magma> dr_willis, where is located that script?
[17:53] <zykotick9> magma: for PATH you can set it in ~/.bashrc to make it permanent
[17:53] <dr_willis> !path
[17:53] <dr_willis>  for a single user. one of their .bash* files in their home dir.
[17:54] <dr_willis> system wide. its a file in /etc/
[17:54] <magma> ok
[17:54] <magma> thanks
[17:54] <magma> :)
[17:54] <pfifo> Hi dr_willis
[17:54] <dr_willis> moo pfifo
[17:54] <magma> dr_willis, where if there are 2 PATH, one local and one wide, which one will be overridden?
[17:55] <dr_willis> user settings always override system.. wouldent make much sence otherwise
[17:55] <magma> dr_willis, which is the name of the file in the /etc ?
[17:56] <josvuk> ubottu: Are there precompiled Mainline kernels for ppc which doesn't have the radeonfb driver in it, the radeonfb should be loadable as a module
[17:56] <dr_willis> magma:  no idea. I never change it ystem wide
[17:57] <pfifo> josvuk, you can search for a PPA
[17:58] <josvuk> what does this stand for PPA?
[17:58] <pfifo> !PPA | josvuk
[17:58] <FrozenMind> gotta love ubottu and its scripts of information :)
[17:59] <Rango> I've been having problems using certain USB thumb drives... they're not U3... anyone know anything about that?
[18:00] <Rango> Ithis started since i upgraded from 10.04
[18:01] <Kk2> just a really newbie question, xubuntu, its just the ubuntu with xfce desktop? i mean, all code under the xubuntu is the same? just without gnome?
[18:02] <Nach0z> Kk2: they're different packages and stuff under the hood
[18:02] <Nach0z> Kk2: there's a #xubuntu channel I think, for specific questions; you can deal with most generic *buntu stuff in here though afaik
[18:02] <pfifo> !xubuntu | Kk2
[18:02] <Kk2> thx a lot :)
[18:04] <josvuk> pfifo: I'm on a ppc system PPA are only for x86 and amd64 :-(
[18:05] <pfifo> josvuk, thats too bad
[18:07] <yoshimi-pink> what was the depackager before ubuntu software center?
[18:07] <zykotick9> yoshimi-pink: synaptic
[18:08] <Nach0z> aptitude >_>
[18:08] <yoshimi-pink> not synaptic, im trying to use a .deb that i dont want to open with ubuntu software center
[18:08] <Nach0z> ahhh
[18:08] <Nach0z> dpkg
[18:08] <Nach0z> dpkg -i name.deb
[18:08] <yoshimi-pink> it use to open in a little window but now it uses USC
[18:08] <lionel-> hello do speak french ?
[18:08] <yoshimi-pink> no, english only
[18:08] <lionel-> you
[18:08] <lionel-> thaks
[18:09] <trism> yoshimi-pink: the little window was gdebi-gtk, you can reinstall it with: sudo apt-get install gdebi;

[18:09] <beam> Hi ...
[18:09] <beam> I have a question, and I will be very grateful if someone could help me.
[18:09] <beam> I do not know whether this is the place, and certainly does seem a bit frivolous, but I still wonder.
[18:09] <beam> with ubuntu 10.4 am and I've installed opera from opera_11.61.1250_i386.deb.
[18:09] <beam> his opera itself actually works perfectly, but it open where the icon appears on top of the panel to the notification area is slightly unsized (slightly smaller than that of starter and any glare and reflections).
[18:09] <FloodBot1> beam: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:09] <beam> I know not, who knows what the problem, but I ceased provoking.
[18:09] <lionel-> thanks szal
[18:10] <magma> how can I reboot the environment so that the new vars can be visible?
[18:10] <yoshimi-pink> beam, dont ask to ask, dont be over polite, simply said i have problem x and i need solution y ive tried solution z, q, pi
[18:10] <ssta> magma: what sort of vars?  Like in .bashrc?
[18:10] <magma> yes ssam
[18:10] <magma> yes ssta
[18:10] <ssta> magma: . ~/.bashrc
[18:11] <ssta> magma: or just log out and back in again...
[18:11] <magma> ssta, didn't work out
[18:11] <pfifo> hello yoshimi-pink
[18:12] <yoshimi-pink> omg hi pfifo <3
[18:12] <magma> actually it might have work
[18:12] <ssta> magma: it gave an error?
[18:12] <yoshimi-pink> I want to change my default file manager to pcman, ideas?
[18:13] <beam> Hi...I have a question, and I will be very grateful if someone could help me.I do not know whether this is the place, and certainly does seem a bit frivolous, but I still wonder.with ubuntu 10.4 am and I've installed opera from opera_11.61.1250_i386.deb.
[18:13] <beam> his opera itself actually works perfectly, but it open where the icon appears on top of the panel to the notification area is slightly unsized (slightly smaller than that of starter and any glare and reflections).I know not, who knows what the problem, but I ceased provoking. so I hope someone knows where the system loads the icon to change it to another level.
[18:14] <yoshimi-pink> no, seriously beam, dont do that it's annoying
[18:14] <dr_willis> yoshimi-pink:  i recall some guides on doing that ages ago.. but it can be very quirky. and no idea if those guides still work for the newer ubuntu releases.
[18:15] <BlendedByChris> what do more folks use… gnome or kde?
[18:15] <yoshimi-pink> XFCE for me
[18:15] <BlendedByChris> not an option
[18:15] <szal> currently Windows here
[18:15] <yoshimi-pink> lol
[18:15] <ssta> BlendedByChris: everyone has different opinions...try both and see which you like best
[18:15] <yoshimi-pink> shun the non-beliver!
[18:15] <szal> what liver? ;)
[18:16] <BlendedByChris> i literally am just interested in knowing which is more used
[18:16] <yoshimi-pink> believer...
[18:16] <yoshimi-pink> *sets self on fire*
[18:16] <Riddell> BlendedByChris: I expect on this channel most people use Unity
[18:16] <yoshimi-pink> uugh
[18:17] <yoshimi-pink> hate unity, horrible interface, if i wanna type out every program i want to use ill go with cmd line ty
[18:17] <belgianguy> what Ubuntu GUI is the easiest to reconfigure?
[18:17] <dr_willis> opera icon in the notification area? never noticed. That would be defined by the opera program.  check their forums and bug reports perhaps.
[18:17] <yoshimi-pink> i find xfce to be pretty easy but i hear good things about kde as well
[18:17] <FrozenMind> if=UbuntuUnity of=NO count=5000 :P
[18:17] <belgianguy> I'm looking if there is one that I can make look like this (minus the Windows things, ofcourse) http://www.theverge.com/2012/2/24/2822891/windows-desktop-ui-concept
[18:18] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  depends on what you are wanting to reconfigure
[18:18] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  theres dozens of window managers out there you can play with.
[18:18] <josvuk> How can I check if the Compete Linux kernel on PowerPC which is an suggestet update from Update Manager don't have the radeonfb driver compiled in it It should be loadable as a module?
[18:18] <olegb> CC -V
[18:18] <belgianguy> I don't mind Unity, but I'm a bit tired of the faux 3D
[18:18] <dr_willis> configuring to me - means more then just themes..
[18:18] <belgianguy> dr_willis: hi! any you have experience with?
[18:18] <syddraf> I've installed vsftpd on my computer, and downloading works fine, but I cannot upload. I am the owner of the directory.  My computer is behind a router, ports 20-21 are forwarded. Does anyone have an idea as to why this is not working?
[18:18] <yoshimi-pink> the best thing about free software is there isnt really a 'best' anything
[18:19] <ssta> belgianguy: but...but....3d is coool!
[18:19] <olegb> sorry - wrong window :-)
[18:19] <yoshimi-pink> the fake 3d, the horrible attemt to make it look cool
[18:19] <yoshimi-pink> every DE has its ups and downs
[18:19] <FrozenMind> belgianguy:  I used Unity for a while and just removed it and went into "Classic" mode because I was trying to get it to work for stream line... Unity gave me a lot of overhead, as well as headaches x.x
[18:19] <yoshimi-pink> i would like a background in xfce that changes every few seconds but i still cant get it to work ;;
[18:20] <yoshimi-pink> thats easy in gnome
[18:20] <belgianguy> I've gotten used to Unity, although I still find myself staring doe-eyed at the top bar when I expect something to be there, but then it isn't
[18:20] <FrozenMind> yoshimi-pink:  you might try the xubuntu channel, someone might have a fix/script/setup for you o.O
[18:21] <yoshimi-pink> ooh, ty
[18:21] <BlendedByChris> so the default desktop on ubuntu is unity/
[18:22]  * dr_willis wonders what faux 3d means...
[18:22] <dr_willis> vague terms are vague...
[18:22] <dr_willis> theres dozens of apps and scripts that can change the wallpaper at set times.
[18:22] <dr_willis> BlendedByChris:  yes.
[18:22] <belgianguy> dr_willis: highlights and gradients that make items stand out from their surrounding background
[18:23] <belgianguy> ofcourse all 3D is 'fake' on a screen :p
[18:23] <FrozenMind> BlendedByChris: Only if you choose Ubuntu for the startup in 11.... I personally went to Ubuntu Classic which is the old 10.10 Desktop (no download needed) and then from there just removed unity using command line.
[18:23] <belgianguy> but it's soo plastic-like, some of it looks like candy
[18:24] <k> kk555
[18:24]  * belgianguy sighs
[18:24] <yoshimi-pink> i hate the default keyring but i always forget how to disable it
[18:25] <yoshimi-pink> wuts wrong belgianguy?
[18:25] <Hermann1> Hi does anyone know the channel name of muse midi sequencer help channel?
[18:25] <belgianguy> I'm looking for a way to deeply customize my UI
[18:25] <yoshimi-pink> :/
[18:25] <neo1691> Hi everyone!! Anyway to see the size of software in ubuntu software center in 10.04
[18:25] <yoshimi-pink> well couldnt you get xfce?
[18:25] <yoshimi-pink> I can make it look however i want
[18:26] <belgianguy> yoshimi-pink: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=ubuntu%20desktop&order=9&offset=72
[18:26] <satyanash> belgianguy, If you are serious, Fvwm!
[18:26] <FrozenMind> belgianguy:  find the directory it is in and start playing around with it?
[18:26] <belgianguy> That's what I came here for, where to start :)
[18:26] <FrozenMind> satyanash: ...um... what is Fvwm?
[18:26] <belgianguy> thanks for that
[18:26] <yoshimi-pink> o:
[18:26] <yoshimi-pink> lots of desktops
[18:27] <satyanash> FrozenMind, Completely customizable dekstop environment, using only text files..
[18:27] <FrozenMind> belgianguy: go to command prompt/terminal and type in -- locate unity
[18:27] <FrozenMind> satyanash: aaah, ok... here i was thinking you were saying something along the line of find the manual XD
[18:28] <yoshimi-pink> thats my desktop
[18:28] <yoshimi-pink> i could push it alot further
[18:28] <dr3mro> hello can you plz help me create apparmor profile for xchat
[18:29] <MonkeyDust> belgianguy  for a start, there's CCSM, gnome-tweak-tool and a PPA for MyUnity
[18:29] <belgianguy> yoshimi-pink: can't seem to accept the image, could you host it somewhere perhaps?
[18:29] <MonkeyDust> belgianguy  and Emerald
[18:30] <belgianguy> MonkeyDust: I'm taking notes, any you'd recommend?
[18:30] <MonkeyDust> belgianguy  depends on what you like most
[18:30] <bazhang> !emerald | MonkeyDust belgianguy
[18:31] <MonkeyDust> belgianguy  ubottu says it :)
[18:31] <bazhang> dr3mro, you might wish to ask abou that in #xchat
[18:31] <josvuk> Someone here with a running ubuntu PowerPc system with the latest availabel kernel, and is willing to paste the output off lsmod?
[18:32] <belgianguy> MonkeyDust, thanks!
[18:32] <bittin> josvuk: nah only Debian sadly :p
[18:32] <dr3mro> why isn't apparmor an ubuntu service ?? and i want to create app armor profile ??
[18:33] <MonkeyDust> belgianguy  there's more, but that's for #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:33] <bazhang> dr3mro, sure, but #xchat probably has a better idea on how to do it
[18:33] <neo1691> I am planning to run this script.. sudo ln -sf /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-autohint.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/
[18:33] <neo1691>  is it safe?
[18:33] <belgianguy> MonkeyDust: I'm there :p
[18:33] <neo1691> *script==command :P
[18:33] <dr3mro> neo1691, yes go and enjoy better fonts
[18:34] <neo1691> dr3mro,  Thanks
[18:34] <neo1691> I want to view the size of a software in mb before installing it. Can i do that in ubuntu software center?
[18:34] <S-WorksSL4> Would someone be kind enough to lead me in the right direction on which channel I need to ask a question about driver questions?
[18:34] <yoshimi-pink> if python was a girl I'd f*** her hard
[18:36] <donsd> yoshimi-pink, is xfce a file manager I could use with Unity?
[18:36] <yoshimi-pink> xfce is a desktop environment
[18:36] <auronandace> donsd: xfce is a desktop environment
[18:36] <yoshimi-pink> i win
[18:36] <yoshimi-pink> but i dont like its default file manger so i use pcmanfm instead
[18:38] <josvuk> Where to look for changesets from linux-image-2.6.32-39 and linux-image-2.6.32-38 ?
[18:39] <donsd> auronandace, okay, thanks.
[18:39] <auronandace> josvuk: the update manager usually contains the list of changes when you update
[18:39] <donsd> yoshimi-pink, thanks.
[18:40] <auronandace> donsd: no worries, just so you know the file manager for xfce is called thunar
[18:40] <die7> hi, which package I need to get m4b played?
[18:41] <yoshimi-pink> lol
[18:41] <donsd> Which file manager is popular for Ubuntu. I'm using default, Nautilus, but would like to change.
[18:41] <yoshimi-pink> 'do you accept the EULA license terms?'
[18:41] <belgianguy> yoshimi-pink, sorry to ask again, but I was wondering if you could show me that pic of your UI
[18:41] <auronandace> donsd: people usually stick with the default, pcmanfm is a good choice though
[18:42] <Oxymoron> One question, when using magnet links. When I press on them in Chrome, file transfer thing (working module in activity bar) starts but never close and KTorrent acting weird compared to torrents. In uTorrent on Windows, they open as a usual torrent file. Is it possible to change magnet links behaviour in KTorrent and Chrome? I also do not want the download folder to be like */share/apps/magnet_io
[18:43] <BlendedByChris> is the us.archive.unbunt.com usually pretty slow?
[18:43] <donsd> auronandace, thanks again. I will look at pcman.
[18:44] <auronandace> !info pcmanfm | donsd
[18:44] <belgianguy> yoshimi-pink: seems the transfer isn't happening :s
[18:44] <S-WorksSL4> Is there a way to get current driver information for my integrated Intel graphics card?  I installed latest drivers (compiled package) and need to see if it worked.  Thanks in advance.
[18:44] <belgianguy> stuck on accepting send
[18:45] <donsd> auronandace, that is small!
[18:45] <v0lksman> is there a way to tell dpkg to install the deps required by a package?
[18:45] <savid> What directory does upstart keep its scripts in in older versions of ubuntu?    I don't see anything in /etc/init
[18:45] <luist> hey guys.. what command can i use from the command line that will INSTALL A PACKAGE displaying on a GRAPHIC UI the progress?
[18:46] <rumpe1> luist, gdebi
[18:46] <yoshimi-pink> laaame
[18:46] <auronandace> donsd: compared to nautilus yes, but nautilus is more than just a file manager, its quite deeply integrated in gnome
[18:47] <belgianguy> yoshimi-pink: perhaps host it on tinypic or something?
[18:47] <yoshimi-pink> one sec
[18:47] <Mary2000> pjwaffle snuzzles coingenuity
[18:47] <belgianguy> k, thanks :)
[18:47] <Mary2000> ok, thanks to reduce it further.
[18:49] <yoshimi-pink> http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=c83lu&s=5
[18:49] <bazhang> Mary2000, hi
[18:49] <Mary2000> mary2000, you cary exceedingly nonlinear conversations
[18:49] <Mary2000> sandstrom_
[18:49] <yoshimi-pink> i didnt change my desktop at all btw
[18:49] <yoshimi-pink> thats exactly how it was
[18:49] <bazhang> Mary2000, bot
[18:49] <Mary2000> mary2000, is nothing.
[18:49] <donsd> auronandace, I was disappointed in Nautilus when I tried to search for wav files.
[18:49] <Mary2000> apt-get --purge remove nautilus
[18:49] <bazhang> !test | Mary2000
[18:49] <Mary2000> #bitcoin-bot(s) cant remember would ove mary2000 tho
[18:50] <belgianguy> yoshimi-pink: looks nice!
[18:50] <Mary2000> pjwaffle innocently looks around
[18:50] <auronandace> kick Mary2000
[18:50] <Mary2000> kick this rib cage into shape while it is a regex code can be extensible.
[18:50] <donsd> I don't think *.wav worked. Searchin wav gave me a list, but they were too deep in directory structure.
[18:50] <belgianguy> and what is it called?
[18:50] <Mary2000> what about magnets?
[18:50] <donsd> There was no "go to file" that I could find.
[18:51] <belgianguy> yoshimi-pink: a redditor as well it seems :)
[18:51] <magma> how can I get files from a remote server through ssh?
[18:51] <magma> and through some GUI
[18:51] <magma> ubuntu brings some app to do that?
[18:51] <Mary2000> were you might think mutemelanie is better than ubuntu
[18:51] <auronandace> !ssh | magma
[18:51] <Mary2000> this is an example of usage of the time • watching tv • public view • mine chatting • trying to understand :)
[18:52] <sacarlson> magma: I use nautilus with ssh to get files over ssh
[18:52]  * auronandace thanks oCean
[18:52] <_raven> unetbootin i cannot use it because it provides NO usable drive but root
[18:52] <magma> sacarlson, through the command line? I would like something more productive like filezila
[18:53] <S-WorksSL4> Is there a command to list "active" drivers? Please, anyone?
[18:53] <MonkeyDust> _raven  there's also MultiSystem
[18:53] <_raven> MonkeyDust what do you mean?
[18:53] <sacarlson> magma: no nautilus is a gui, it can all be done in gui
[18:53] <magma> ok I will check that out
[18:53] <CharminTheMoose> I'm trying to compile a kernel, but when I do make modules_install, I get the following output: http://pastebin.ca/2130131 What am I doing wrong?
[18:54] <MonkeyDust> _raven  I take you wish to create a bootable pendrive, but unetbootin is not usable for you?
[18:54] <_raven> MonkeyDust not any more right
[18:55] <yoshimi-pink> indeed
[18:55] <foxtrot9> I need some help on getting the 3rd monitor eyefinity using fglrx drivers, I can't seem to get the 3rd monitor to work, the amd catalyst says disabled. I tried editing the xorg.conf, with no avail. Anyone have an idea how to get the 3rd monitor to work?
[18:56] <arunce> foxtrot9: do you have viewport?
[18:56] <Chaitanya> I have a huge 1 tb hard disk on which I want to use some command line utility to find files faster
[18:56] <foxtrot9> arunce: what do you mean by viewport?
[18:56] <MonkeyDust> _raven  MultiSystem is a 3rd party program to create bootable pendrives with - more advice in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:57] <arunce> foxtrot9: how many graphic cards you have?
[18:57] <Chaitanya> can any one suggest any command line utility to find files faster than find command
[18:57] <sacarlson> Chaitanya: try man find;  example find -name "*.jpg"
[18:57] <foxtrot9> arunce: just 1 with 3 monitors attached, hd5850
[18:58] <Chaitanya> yes I did that but it takes a long time. i have also used locate along with find
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> Chaitanya: locate
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> Chaitanya: sudo updatedb; find *.jpg
[18:58] <satyanash> Chaitanya, locate w/ updatedb
[18:58] <arunce> foxtrot9: if you have only one then you need viewport
[18:59] <foxtrot9> arunce: how do i get viewport?
[18:59] <arunce> you can't have three monitors through dvi/hdmi/vga
[18:59] <Chaitanya> I used eg. find $(locate -d external.db 1.txt) which finds files faster but the problem is that file names with special characters eg. spaces is not showing
[18:59] <foxtrot9> arunce: this is 2x DVI and 1x DisplayPort
[18:59] <JelloPop> Chaitanya: man locate
[18:59] <foxtrot9> arunce: works in windows
[18:59] <Black> How to disable bash history permanently?
[19:00] <thedonvaughn> Black: export HISTSIZE=0
[19:00] <thedonvaughn> Black: put that in your .bash_profile or .bashrc
[19:00] <arunce> foxtrot9: sorry, its displayport. not viewport
[19:00] <arunce> my mistake
[19:00] <Black> Thedonvaughn: thanx
[19:02] <foxtrot9> arunce: i just can't get catalyst to see it, even though eyefinity works on windows
