[08:13] <Amdpc>  dr_willis : Because grub is unable to detect fedora on a diffrent partition..I tried Installing fedora first and then Ubuntu..
[08:14] <dr_willis> bullgard4:  try some of the clipbord manager tools. ive had some desktops not touch the 'selection' buffer. not tried it lately
[08:14] <dr_willis> Amdpc:  make your own custome entry for grub for the other os.
[08:14] <dr_willis> Amdpc:  and put in the grub configs
[08:15] <Amdpc> dr_willis : Ok.. Thanks :-)
[08:16] <DeltaEpsilon> can I buy Ubuntu?
[08:18] <tensorpudding> you can order dvds
[08:18] <susundberg> DeltaEpsilon: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/cds
[08:18] <tensorpudding> the price is nominal, though, the software is ree
[08:19] <susundberg> "Ubuntu is completely free. The price covers the cost of the CDs, postage & packaging"
[08:19] <dr_willis> computer magazines are often at bookstores with cd's also
 : http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=17
[08:20] <DeltaEpsilon> like this http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=704
[08:22] <iceroot> DeltaEpsilon: you can buy ubuntu-cd/dvds. you can also download the cd/dvd for free (as in free bear). also all software from the cd is free as in free speech
[08:23] <TikaTaka> is anyone here?
[08:23] <susundberg> "(as in free bear)" ;)
[08:23] <iceroot> TikaTaka: /n
[08:23] <iceroot> susundberg: :)
[08:23] <DeltaEpsilon> :D
[08:23] <TikaTaka> why /n iceroot ?
[08:23] <DeltaEpsilon> I would like to have a free bear
[08:23] <iceroot> TikaTaka: to see all nicks here
[08:24] <TikaTaka> i mean't is anyone here and active, but i think ive had my question answered :)
[08:24] <LifeIsPain> DeltaEpsilon: I wouldn't, having to pay to feed that bear... that would get really spendy
[08:24] <LifeIsPain> now if I could be given a free bear, and then sell it, that could be good
[08:24] <compdoc> leave bears alone
[08:24] <TASK> Hi, a friend has a problem to install his HP Laser printer. What should he install cups or something else?
[08:25] <TikaTaka> does anyone know why the software center doesnt work when i try to install a program
[08:25] <bullgard4> dr_willis: I disagree installing programs like Glipper or Glippy. I have copied text strings vom rxvt-unicode to clipboard without an intermediary. But I forgot how I have done it.
[08:25] <iceroot> TASK: cups is installed by default but there are hplib packages which contain drivers for hp printers
[08:25] <TikaTaka> is the amd64 distro of linux hardy likely to be more buggy than the x86 version ?
[08:25] <iceroot> TikaTaka: no
[08:25] <TikaTaka> then how come i cant seem to install anything in the software center
[08:26] <iceroot> TikaTaka: but hardy is no longer supported (only the server edition)
[08:26] <bullgard4> TikaTaka: No. Quite the contrary.
[08:26] <iceroot> !eol | TikaTaka
[08:26] <Gateway`> hello everybody
[08:26] <TikaTaka> which version is supported ?
[08:26] <iceroot> TikaTaka: 10.04 and everything higher
[08:26] <dr_willis> bullgard4:  ive seen wm and desktop tools that sync the 2.  i know glippy and otherscan
[08:27] <weyer> penguin359: that is not doing anything
[08:27] <TikaTaka> well i did a net install using http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer
[08:27] <dr_willis> bullgard4:  select and middle click worked here last i tried
[08:27] <TikaTaka> i assume it would be the latest?
[08:27] <iceroot> TikaTaka: that is 12.04
[08:27] <iceroot> TikaTaka: which is not stable
[08:28] <iceroot> TikaTaka: the latest stable-release is 11.10 (oneiric)
[08:28] <TikaTaka> is there a net install for it ?
[08:28] <bullgard4> dr_willis: I do not know why it does not work here on my Ubuntu 11.10 Thinkpad T61.
[08:28] <iceroot> TikaTaka: of course
[08:28] <iceroot> !download
[08:28] <Gateway`> I'm using iptables to redirect packets to squid in order to be filtered. Using <IP_ADDRESS>/24 in the rule, all users get redirect to the squid. What I want, is to redirect just some machines. for example <IP_ADDRESS> - <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:29] <Gateway`> is <IP_ADDRESS>/27 going to work ?
[08:29] <TikaTaka> is the http and ftp servers interchangable ? i mean if i find the link on archive.ubuntu.com can i change the protocol to ftp and copy the folders that way?
[08:29] <Gateway`> I mean iptables .... -s <IP_ADDRESS>/27
[08:29] <wp> hi, what would be the proper way to restart networking in 11.10? its highly confusing :(
[08:30] <TikaTaka> i guess oneiric is here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/
[08:30] <iceroot> TikaTaka: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
[08:31] <iceroot> TikaTaka: or the amd64 if you need http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
[08:31] <iceroot> minimal should be the same as netinstall
[08:31] <wp> anyone? :)
[08:31] <TikaTaka> do i just replace my current mini.iso on my tftp server with that one then ?
[08:31] <iceroot> TikaTaka: tftp? sounds like pxe
[08:32] <TikaTaka> yea thats how im booting
[08:32] <iceroot> pxe can handle isos?
[08:32] <iceroot> TikaTaka: if that is working, yes you only have to replace the iso
[08:32] <TikaTaka> there's a mini.iso file there
[08:32] <compdoc> wp  sudo service networking restart
[08:32] <iceroot> TikaTaka: but why pxe with a netinstall-image?
[08:32] <compdoc> is one way
[08:33] <TikaTaka> i dont have a spare USB :) so i setup a tftp server and the laptop supports pxe booting
[08:33] <TikaTaka> thats how i installed 12
[08:34] <TikaTaka> it worked, so i didnt complain
[08:34] <TikaTaka> i have a spare windows machine, using http://tftpd32.jounin.net/ it also has support for PXE
[08:35] <compdoc> windows?! omg!
[08:35] <TikaTaka> don't have a baby :)
[08:36] <compdoc> that would hurt
[08:36] <wp> compdoc: restart: Unknown instance:
[08:36] <wp> compdoc: this is why i'm confused, i hate the new system ;P
[08:36] <compdoc> wp, try service networking start
[08:37] <wp> compdoc: networking stop/waiting
[08:37] <wp> is the output ?
[08:37] <compdoc> err, sudo service networking start
[08:37] <compdoc> also, sudo service networking status
[08:37] <compdoc> sounds like its up now
[08:38] <wp> same output. :)
[08:38] <compdoc> now try sudo service networking restart
[08:38] <wp> restart: Unknown instance:
[08:39] <wp> when i try stop, it says stop: Unknown instance:
[08:39] <wp> piece of shit... :)
[08:39] <compdoc> hmmm, well there is another way
[08:39] <auronandace> wp: please refrain from profanities
[08:40] <DeltaEpsilon> how to add my username to an extra group?
[08:40] <compdoc> sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[08:40] <llutz_> DeltaEpsilon: sudo adduser user group
[08:40] <InsanityWerks> wondering is there a way to disable the use of passwords in ubuntu 11.10?
[08:40] <compdoc> sudo /etc/init.d/networking start (or stop)
[08:41] <auronandace> InsanityWerks: if you are refering to password when using sudo then i would highly advise against that
[08:41] <wp> auronandace: im trying to restart my networking, thats all :)
[08:42] <auronandace> wp: so you don't need to swear then
[08:42] <wp> thats true, im swearing at the person who made this up ;)
[08:42] <InsanityWerks> not that password just when starting my pc and when it come back from the screensaver
[08:43] <wp> auronandace: do you have an idea whats going on perhaps?
[08:43] <compdoc> which version of ubuntu? maybe its old
[08:43] <auronandace> wp: sorry, my network works fine
[08:43] <wp> compdoc: 11.10
[08:43] <DeltaEpsilon> when using kvm on ubuntu, can I use my own kernel in the guest?
[08:43]  * sattu941 wonders why stop, start restart don't work for service networking {start,stop,restart}...
[08:43] <compdoc> DeltaEpsilon, sure
[08:43] <wp> sattu941: i have the same issue? :)
[08:44] <tp43> i was getting dead battery warning, my screen would go blank and my dvdrom wasn't working, but then I installed debian, and my screen is working again
[08:44] <weyer> I have the full screen visual bell working, but it dims the screen shortly. is there a command to do the opposite? flash it white? I need that to have a 'flash' on a scriptbased based snapshot taker with webcam
[08:44] <tp43> I am totally shocked to see my screen working after so long
[08:44] <auronandace> InsanityWerks: if you have a password prompt when you turn it on then that is most likely set in the bios (not a ubuntu issue)
[08:44] <InsanityWerks> ok
[08:44] <sattu941> wp: I mostly worked around it using /etc/init.d/networking {start,stop,restart}...
[08:45] <auronandace> InsanityWerks: for the screensaver there should be some settings somewhere (i'm not sure since i don't use screensavers)
[08:45] <wp> compdoc: http://pastebin.com/UiPeHq3m
[08:45] <TACPILOT> there is a term for the names of distros like natty or hardy of lisa .. what is the name for that type of naming convention ??
[08:45] <compdoc> wp, guess you didnt see my other method
[08:46] <compdoc> sudo /etc/init.d/networking start (or stop)
[08:47] <auronandace> TACPILOT: lisa? that is from mint?
[08:47] <TACPILOT> yeah
[08:47] <wp> compdoc: http://pastebin.com/vNff0Va5
[08:47] <wp> compdoc: this is why its a bit confusing for me :)
[08:47] <auronandace> TACPILOT: ask mint about their naming conventions
[08:48] <compdoc> wp, that shows it worked
[08:48] <auronandace> !mint | TACPILOT
[08:48] <TACPILOT> its not the name in particular its the term for that type of naming I am looking for .. just take lisa off the list
[08:48] <wp> compdoc: hmm ok? :), i added some ipv6 config (static) and its not parsing it
[08:48] <compdoc> wp, with network-manager, things might act differntly. I dont use it myself
[08:48] <wp> im not using X
[08:49] <TACPILOT> when refering to a version by name and not number
[08:49] <compdoc> one of these days, I'll have to learn ipv6. but not today
[08:50] <wp> :)
[08:50] <compdoc> wp, if you open the files in /etc/init.d, you can see what commands they support. not all support 'restart'
[08:50] <penguin359> weyer: yes, it's possible, but a whole lot more complicated.
[08:51] <weyer> any hints on where to look? if I look for anything 'flash' related I end up on well, flash-related items :-)
[08:51] <wp> yeah, i've seen some of them. thing is how i know why ipv6 is not working? iḿ 100% sure the config is ok
[08:51] <penguin359> weyer: you could send an escape sequence to set the background color to white, followed by an escape sequence to clear the screen, then set the color to black and clear the screen again.
[08:51] <wp> also when is sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop, i expect my ssh session to drop, which doesnt happen :)
[08:51] <ucenik34> i have problem with my facebook
[08:52] <ucenik34> can you tell me how to fix it
[08:52] <compdoc> wp, you would think so
[08:52] <ucenik32> pece
[08:52] <wp> compdoc: thats why its probably not applying a single thing :)
[08:52] <Yusuke> Hello, how may I getting back to older flash player version since this new version won't cache any video in /tmp ..
[08:53] <TikaTaka> thanks guys im installing 11.10 now, amd64

[08:53] <penguin359> weyer: http://www.termsys.demon.co.uk/vtansi.htm
[08:53] <auronandace> TACPILOT: is the term nickname or codename?
[08:53] <compdoc> wp, whats in /etc/network/interfaces   ?  and have you added and removed nics recently?
[08:54] <penguin359> Under the second for Erasing Text, they have the erase screen code to clear the screen with the background color
[08:54] <wp> compdoc: i'll pastebin it, one sec
[08:54] <wp> compdoc: http://pastebin.com/HupLtwZ7
[08:55] <TACPILOT> auronandace: could be .. I'm so tired I'm not sure..  that should be close enough for my needs TY
[08:55] <compdoc> so no router
[08:55] <wp> nope
[08:55] <Joelixny> Hello, I have a computer connected to 2 network interfaces, one wired and one wireless. I want to use one interface (wired) for LAN and the other for internet access. How can I do that?
[08:56] <compdoc> Ive never seen dns-nameservers added there, but I guess it works
[08:56] <wp> its part of resolvconf
[08:56] <Yusuke> Hello, how may I getting back to older flash player version since this new version won't cache any video in /tmp ..
[08:56] <compdoc> looks ok - but I cant speak for the pv6 section
[08:56] <compdoc> i
[08:56] <wp> that part is ok too :)
[08:57] <wp> but the fact is can stop networking, and still ssh into that box is odd
[08:57] <wp> :)
[08:57] <compdoc> for sure
[08:57] <compdoc> you sure its actually working if its stopped? maybe ssh isnt reacting
[08:58] <wp> compdoc: yep 100% sure
[08:58] <wp> its actually stopped right now, and im still on irc :)
[08:58] <weyer> penguin359: thanks!
[08:59] <dr_willis> you sure you are on irc? ;)
[08:59] <wp> ack! :P
[08:59] <compdoc> heh
[08:59] <wp> i'll reboot it, maybe that helps.. brb
[08:59] <compdoc> just one nic?
[08:59] <wp> yeah, one nic
[09:00] <llutz_> wp: tried "sudo ifdown -a && sudo ifup -a"?
[09:00] <penguin359> weyer: here's a starter: it sets background color to white, clears the screen, waits one second, resets display color and clears the screen
[09:00] <penguin359> echo -ne '\e[47m\e[2J'; sleep 1; echo -ne '\e[m\e[2J'
[09:00] <penguin359> \e = <ESC>
[09:01] <penguin359> http://bluesock.org/~willg/dev/ansi.html
[09:01] <penguin359> And many more pages on the Internet listing various ANSI Escape and Control Sequences
[09:02] <compdoc> maybe ifdown worked
[09:03] <TikaTaka> which software should i install? ubuntu desktop?
[09:03] <Yusuke> where is the path for     .mozilla/firefox/userprofile/cache
[09:04] <llutz_> Yusuke: ~ ($HOME)
[09:04] <TikaTaka> which one is the most stable, kubuntu, ubuntu kde, ubuntu desktop?
[09:04] <compdoc> ubuntu desktop if you want a desktop
[09:04] <TikaTaka> k, thanks
[09:05] <wp> hmm that was odd, it was searching for network configuration, timed out booted ok and now its applied
[09:05] <wp> :)
[09:05] <compdoc> did you try what llutz_ suggected?
 wp: tried "sudo ifdown -a && sudo ifup -a"?
[09:06] <compdoc> suggested
[09:06] <wp> havent tried that
[09:06] <Yusuke> llutz_ : can't find .mozilla in there, i watch a video in firefox and want to see the cache
[09:07] <llutz_> Yusuke: its (as the name shows) a hidden dir
[09:07] <Yusuke> oh
[09:08] <Yusuke> forgot a dot infront will hide a folder
[09:08] <Yusuke> how may i view it
[09:08] <llutz_> Yusuke: nautilus ctrl-h  iirc to make it visible
[09:08] <Yusuke> ok
[09:08] <wp> compdoc: networking status output, still shows stopped/waiting :)
[09:08] <compdoc> shows that on one of my servers too
[09:09] <penguin359> weyer: here's a more complete example that restores the screen on exit.
[09:09] <penguin359> echo -ne '\e[?1049h\e[?25l\e[47m\e[2J'; sleep 1; echo -ne '\e[m\e[2J\e[?25h\e[?1049l'
[09:10] <wp> compdoc: odd eh? :)
[09:10] <weyer> looks promising. and would it be able to send that to the X-server itself, for a full screen 'blink'?
[09:10] <compdoc> yeah, status for other services works
[09:12] <SirDidi> hey

[09:53] <SirDidi> ikonia, what do u use? i looking for alternatives
[09:54] <ikonia> !gpgerr | TSQL
[09:54] <ikonia> SirDidi: I use gnome
[09:55] <abhay_> i have a usb modem which is automatically detected when i am in gnome but not detected when i am in fluxbox. what should i do (in fluxbox)?
[09:56] <SirDidi> ikonia, ah okay, there r some driver problems on my laptop
[09:56] <ikonia> abhay_: I suspect it is detected as fluxbox/gnome use the same OS, just the gui doesn't know how to configure it in fluxbox
[09:57] <abhay_> is there any daemon that runs on starup in gnome but not in fluxbox?
[09:57] <abhay_> that could be the prob
[09:57] <ikonia> abhay_: many, it's a totally different desktop, but none that would "the problem"
[09:58] <ikonia> abhay_: the OS will see the modem, however fluxbox probably just doesn't have the coniguration tools to deal with it, or you're not using the right one
[09:59] <abhay_> thanks ikonia. i will continue to google it
[09:59] <Yeeha>  /join ubuntu
[10:00] <ikonia> abhay_: I'd be confident that the OS does see it though as gnome/fluxbox use the same OS - so if one can see it, the other one will too, it's just the configuration tool you need to work with
[10:01] <abhay_> well found it. it is called "nm-applet". it doesnt run at startup in fluxbox.
[10:01] <abhay_> that solved the problem
[10:02] <ikonia> abhay_: network manager applet - it's a gnome configuration tool
[10:02] <Yeeha> Does 11.10 still use unity?
[10:02] <ikonia> Yeeha: yes
[10:02] <ikonia> abhay_: it's not part of fluxbox, that's why it doesn't run
[10:02] <abhay_> okay. got it.
[10:02] <Yeeha> Ilonia
[10:03] <Yeeha> Ikonia: shit happens
[10:03] <abhay_> is there a similar tool for fluxbox ?
[10:03] <ikonia> Yeeha: tone down the language please, there is no need for it
[10:05] <dr_willis> you can use nm in fluzbox. its just that fb has its own settings
[10:06] <dr_willis> so it doesnot autorun it
[10:07] <abhay_> thanks dr_willis
[10:10] <erespond> ikonia, 05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
[10:10] <erespond> how
[10:12] <ePax> How can i recover overwritten odt.file in ubuntu?
[10:13] <dr_willis> that may be impossible epax. but it may have made backups

[10:13] <InsanityWerks> have an ubuntu 11.10 running gnome 3 can you get a shut down button without logging off?
[10:14] <aum__> hello everyone, is there a way to highlight colour syntax of c source file through vim.tiny
[10:14] <dr_willis> InsanityWerks: alt and the top right menu.. i think
[10:14] <dr_willis> aum__:  need the vim full i think
[10:15] <aum__> dr_willis: any way to do this in vi , i think i have vi installed
[10:16] <oCean> aum__: ls -al /etc/alternatives/vi shows if vi command is a link to vim.tiny
[10:16] <dr_willis> aum__: if its the tny vi. such features are not enabled to reduce suze. install the vim package. or vim-full package
[10:17] <oCean> aum__: and  apt-cache policy vim  will show if the vi (full) package is installed
[10:17] <dr_willis> nit sure whats the default vim these days
[10:17] <aum__> oCean , dr_willis : thanks...

[10:37] <VictorCL> is there a font I should install?
[10:39] <ManDay> pfifo: Sorry to bother you (if you are around at all), but after I installed a couple of high level packages in the chroot of the minmal install, which pulled in basically everything else (I installed xfce4 for one) I boot into that chroot (not squashed) and I get dropped into busybox with the promt "(initramfs)". Any idea why it doesn't properly start everything as desired?

[11:13] <laerne> tobias -> or reinstall apache and look for errors...
[11:14] <tobias_> laerne yes, but I don't get any errors installing it
[11:16] <ManDay> I installed lightDM - why does not start on boot?!
[11:16] <Sidewinder1> tobias_, Ah, if your question regards Apache, I can't really help you, other than generality, as I'v never used/installed it, sorry; but as laerne said, if it's not functioning properly, a re-install wouldn't hurt..
[11:17] <Onkeltem> Hi! How to configure Postfix to redirect ALL mail sending from localhost to a specific local user?
[11:20] <mongy> tobias_,  mind putting your apache issue forward again, I just got here.
[11:21] <ManDay> Can anyone tell me what Display Manger is used with Oneiric?
[11:22] <Guest82628> help with lost partition
[11:22] <mongy> Guest82628,  try gparted, it has a data recovery thing now..
[11:23] <HQRaja> Is there a way to perform actions in Nautilus that require superuser access, without having to launch an instance of nautilus from the commandline using sudo or gksudo?
[11:23] <Guest82628> thank you ill try it ive been trying test disk but im so confused
[11:23] <HQRaja> I'm looking for a method that prompts me for superuser password whenever I try to perform such an action from within Nautilus
[11:23] <tobias_> mongy, yes I've screwed up ok, trying to learn how to do it it tried manually building apache2
[11:24] <tobias_> which worked almosst
[11:24] <HQRaja> Just the way other applications prompt for the superuser password whenever they require elevated privileges
[11:24] <bullgard4> mongy: With me, LightDM.
[11:24] <tobias_> but then I removed it
[11:24] <FooBarMartijn> could someone tell me how I can change the calendar format when I click the date in Unity? I want monday to be the first day of the week instead of sunday
[11:24] <tobias_> and tried using apt-get
[11:24] <tobias_> which claims it has installed apache properly
[11:24] <bullgard4> ManDay: With me, LightDM.
[11:24] <tobias_> no error messages on the screen
[11:24] <malcolm_> In trying to install Ubuntu 11.10 all goes well until the near end when my screen goes blank. I am using a computer with Ubuntu 9. but with a TV screen. It works well on Ubuntu 9 but seems not on 11.10. Have you any ideas please.
[11:25] <tobias_> but I can't find fore example /etc/init.d/apache2 in order to start it, nor any other configuration files or anything
[11:25] <tobias_> so I fear I might have broken something
[11:25] <Guest82628> mongy> i dont see any feature to support partition recovery
[11:25] <tobias_> but I don't know what or when or how :)
[11:25] <sattu94> topic
[11:26] <ManDay> bullgard4: thanks :-/
[11:26] <argot|pryer> @malcolm_ if you have a monitor just go through the install with that and set up the tv later
[11:26] <mongy> tobias_,  try sudo apt-get purge apache2 && sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get install --reinstall apache2
[11:26] <ManDay> bullgard4: That is "thanks" and my disappointment about it not working for me.
[11:26] <mongy> Guest82628,  Device - Attempt data recovery ?
[11:26] <tobias_> mongy will do, thx
[11:27] <bullgard4> malcolm_: First I would try an Ubuntu 11.10 Live CD and see if you will get a normal screen image.
[11:27] <Guest82628> mongy> it only says create partition table
[11:27] <malcolm_> Unfortunately I have thrown my monitor out! o'dear!
[11:27] <mongy> Guest82628,  not using 11.10 ?
[11:27] <Guest82628> ill try and update
[11:28] <mongy> Guest82628,  grab the livecd version then.  http://gparted.sourceforge.net/    I've never used that option myself though.    There is also shell tool called testdisk
[11:28] <malcolm_> I have tried a live CD but still no results.
[11:30] <Guest82628> im useing test disk but i need help with it
[11:30] <lesergi> hi
[11:30] <malcolm_> Thank you bullguard4 & argot|pryer for your suggestions.
[11:31] <lesergi> I've created a virtual machine through ubuntu-vm-server but I can't access to it. I tried with virsh console domain but not luck
[11:31] <munichlinux> i trying to add host entry like this <IP_ADDRESS>  *.foo.com so any subdomain of foo.com should resolve to my local
[11:33] <tobias_> mongy, no luck
[11:34] <tobias_> and I checked the history.log for apt
[11:34] <tobias_> but I see no errors
[11:34] <tobias_> still no files, though
[11:35] <ManDay> Is using    adduser    enough to create a user which will appear in lightDM?
[11:36] <Blackshirt> Tobias,sory guys,im just join here,but what is your problem?
[11:41] <ManDay> Does anyone know how to install lightDM?
[11:41] <yacc> Any idea how to switch from IGP nvidia (nouveau driver used before) to ATI PCIe (RV730 HD4650) on a installed system? X11 as is currently unusable but I do manage to get a working text mode.
[11:41] <mal93> hi
[11:41] <jutnux> ManDay: What version are you running? It comes installed on 11.10.
[11:41] <mal93> can anyone help me with rithmbox and a radio station url?
[11:41] <yacc> Ubuntu 10.04.3 btw.
[11:41] <mal93> i have radio.rinse.fm and don't know how to add it to rithmbox
[11:42] <mal93> is there anyone?
[11:43] <jutnux> mal93: http://i.imgur.com/ipSti.png
[11:43] <jutnux> mal93: Simply right click and click add new radio station.
[11:43] <mal93> i've done it
[11:43] <mal93> but it asks me that there is no plugin for html/text
[11:43] <mal93> if i open the url i have to download the file to play
[11:44] <jutnux> Uno momento senor.
[11:44] <yacc> mal93 you should try to access the url via say wget -S (or curl -D /dev/fd/1) so that you see what the server is providing.
[11:44] <jutnux> mal93: http://radio.rinse.fm/rinseradio.m3u
[11:44] <mal93> could you try? the link is radio.rinse.fm
[11:44] <Gentoo64> yacc, if it was nouveau, then you dont have to do anything apart from switch the cards
[11:44] <jutnux> mal93: Add that.
[11:44] <mal93> ok itry
[11:44] <jutnux> !who | mal93
[11:45] <FooBarMartijn> could someone tell me how I can change the calendar format when I click the date in Unity? I want monday to be the first day of the week instead of sunday
[11:45] <mal93> ubottu: ok
[11:45] <mal93> jutnux: it doesn0't work
[11:45] <jutnux> It works for me mal93.
[11:45] <yacc> gentoo64: nice theory, but the just booting provided me with a radeon-driven (no dri) setup, with gdm displaying okay, but a trashed display after starting to login.
[11:45] <mal93> :jutnux: there is the red mark
[11:46] <ManDay> jutnux: I've been trying to install it on a minimal oneiric system
[11:46] <Gentoo64> FooBarMartijn, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-813945.html
[11:46] <ManDay> But it won't run right.
[11:46] <jutnux> Or not. mal93.
[11:46] <Gentoo64> FooBarMartijn, not sure if that still works though
[11:47] <Onkeltem> How to configure Postfix to redirect ALL mail sending from localhost ANYWHERE to a specific local user mailbox?
[11:47] <Gentoo64> yacc, hmm not sure :s
[11:47] <jutnux> ManDay: Hmm, what are the specs of this minimal installation?
[11:47] <munichlinux> how do i add wild card entry in the hosts file, i want *.foo.com to resolve to my localhost
[11:47] <mintux> I want to add something to my locales how can I edit mo or find .po files ?
[11:47] <mal93> jutnux: no not working. when downloading the file the playlist is not on radio.rinse.fm it on dgen.net
[11:47] <FooBarMartijn> Gentoo64, I'll give it a swing. Maybe it doesn't in Unity, maybe it does. Anyway, I'll see where it brings me
[11:47] <yacc> Gentoo64: the issue starts with the fact that the initramfs continues to load the nouveau KMS module, ...
[11:48] <Gentoo64> munichlinux, not possible afaik
[11:48] <jutnux> Oh, my bad mal93, let me take a look.
[11:48] <mintux> I want to translate something
[11:48] <munichlinux> Gentoo64, so how do i do that i cannot do that with host file?
[11:48] <munichlinux> run a local dns?
[11:48] <Gentoo64> yes
[11:49] <jutnux> mal93: I can't really help unless you know the exact file name from the other URL.
[11:50] <zetheroo> Does anyone here know how to reinstall ubuntu-desktop despite the irritating "Broken Packages" message?
[11:50] <mal93> the file name is: rinseradio.m3u
[11:50] <jutnux> I know mal
[11:51] <mal93> i can open it fine on default multimedia player, jutnux, is there a way i can extract url?
[11:51] <ManDay> jutnux:  debootstrap && apt-get install xfce4 lightdm casper linux-generic
[11:51] <jutnux> mal93: It works for my on Rhytm box.
[11:51] <mal93> how do i open the file with rithmbox?
[11:51] <yacc> gentoo64: so how do I tell Ubuntu to ignore a given piece of hardware (e.g. the onboard GPU)?
[11:51] <jutnux> Go into the radio stations mal93, right click and click add new radio station and paste: http://podcast.dgen.net/rinseradio
[11:52] <mal93> jutnux: working now! thank you very much for helping me!
[11:52] <jutnux> mal93: No problemo.
[11:52] <jutnux> ManDay: You'd probably be better off installing xubuntu (XFCE on Ubuntu, basically but by default)
[11:54] <ManDay> jutnux: Nope.
[11:54] <ManDay> Well, yeah, *perhaps*
[11:54] <ManDay> But I don't think that's what I like.
[11:54] <ManDay> There should be a way to just install lightdm
[11:55] <pfifo> ManDay, with what your upto im suprised you want a DM
[11:55] <zetheroo> agh, I can't believe I let Ubuntu "update" my system into uselessness!
[11:55] <janda-muda> Just install lightdm
[11:56] <jutnux> ManDay, install lightdm.
[11:56] <yacc> zetheroo: Welcome to life, but if it makes you happy, the competition manages to kill systems via upgrades/updates too :)
[11:56] <xuser1> hi
[11:56] <xuser1> how can i fix gnomebaker ivon size?
[11:56] <xuser1> icon*
[11:57] <zetheroo> yacc: I am not comparing here ... just stating a somewhat common frustration
[11:57] <zetheroo> yacc: the greater frustration is how hard it is to find a solution ... and it's not like this is a "new" issue either
[11:57] <ManDay> jutnux: I did. It won't start properly.
[11:57] <ManDay> It just goes on off on off on off on off on off
[11:58] <jutnux> What are the specs of the machine ManDay?
[11:58] <ManDay> The log says something about X (I think, it calls it process #...) terminating
[11:58] <ManDay> jutnux: nvidia graphics, if that's what you mean
[12:00] <jutnux> ManDay: I don't know unfortunately, trying to Google to help you :-)
[12:00] <ManDay> I can run xfce all right, it's just that lightDM that wont do
[12:01] <Ubu_noob> hello can anyone help me installing MATLAB on ubuntu, when i run the installer i get to a point that says that the /user/local/MATLAB/R2011a can not be created. what do i do??
[12:01] <jutnux> Ubu_noob: Did you sudo it?
[12:02] <pfifo> Ubu_noob, are you installing as root?
[12:02] <Ubu_noob> i have the iso mounted but "sudo ./install" wont work
[12:03] <ManDay> pfifo: Could you possibly...
[12:03] <jutnux> Ubu_noob: Try sudo sh install
[12:03] <Ubu_noob> i read some where that for graphical programs gksudo is used instead of sudo but when i do that it does something and then does not start the installer
[12:03] <jutnux> I'm sure the install is done by the commandline, have you tried sudo sh install
[12:04] <Ubu_noob> what is sudo sh install jutnux?
[12:04] <jutnux> ^^ @ubu_noob
[12:04] <jutnux> ubu_noob: I'm presuming that the install file is an sh file, thus it will execute it.
[12:04] <mah454> How can change resolution in ubuntu-11.10
[12:04] <mah454> i need set to 1366x768
[12:04] <mintux> where can I find po files ?
[12:04] <mintux> for linux?
[12:04] <Ubu_noob> jutnux: it does not have the .sh extension could it still be?
[12:05] <Sidewinder1> Ubu_noob, Can't really assist with your Matlab install, sorry; but you're correct, gksudo is used for root priv, with GUI apps, otherwise, sudo is used.
[12:05] <jutnux> Ubu_noob, yes.
[12:05] <Ubu_noob> jutnux: it says "sh: Can't open ./install"
[12:06] <Ubu_noob> :(
[12:06] <pfifo> Should I play minecraft today or get some work done?
[12:06] <jutnux> Ubu_noob, paste this into terminal: sudo sh install
[12:07] <jutnux> pfifo: You kidding me? Do the moral thing....
[12:07] <jutnux> play minecraft.
[12:07] <Ubu_noob> also i forgot how to change the permissions on a file, cause i was thinking of changing the permission of the install file because i and not its owner right now
[12:07] <bazhang> !permissions > Ubu_noob
[12:08] <Ubu_noob> jutnux: does it matter what directory i am in?
[12:08] <Ubu_noob> do i need to be in the one with the install file?
[12:08] <jutnux> Yes.
[12:09] <emcav> mah454: click displays via the settings menu in the top right
[12:10] <tgambit65> Hi guys! I am a clueless newbie trying to install a USB wireless card. It is a realtek chipset I think 8188cus. I have never done anything like this before. Anyone out there able to help?
[12:11] <bazhang> tgambit65, pastebin lsusb out put please
[12:11] <dr_willis> tgambit65:  plug it in.. run the addational drivers tool
[12:11] <jutnux> tgambit65: paste.ubuntu.com - paste lsusb in there like bazhang said.
[12:11] <mongy> tgambit65, plug it in and check network manager (top panel on the right), it might have kernel support already, I know my rtl8187 does
[12:11] <ManDay> Does anyone know why lightDM constantly goes ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF?
[12:12] <dr_willis> ManDay:  you got autologin enabled?
[12:13] <katesmith> hey i would like to know if anyone can help build a social network program and i am willing to pay to help me out
[12:13] <katesmith> with the website
[12:13] <pfifo> ManDay, do you have something valid in you .xsession
[12:13] <bazhang> katesmith, not on topic here
[12:13] <katesmith> okay
[12:13] <katesmith> can you tell me where i can go though perhaps ?
[12:14] <bazhang> !alis | katesmith take a look here please
[12:14] <Sidewinder1> katesmith, Perhaps you could ask in #ubuntu-offtopic. :D
[12:14] <auronandace> katesmith: you could join diaspora or just search for a channel
[12:14] <dr_willis> 'build a social network program' is .. well.. vague
[12:14] <auronandace> !alis | katesmith
[12:15] <Ubu_noob> Has anyone installed MATLAB on ubuntu before I can seem to be able to run the installer as root user so ti reaches a point where it says it can not create the directory to put the MATLAB stuff into
[12:15] <Snorrre> Hello! could anyone be so kind and assist me with some troubles i have regarding the installationprocess of ubuntu?
[12:15] <bazhang> Snorrre, more details please
[12:15] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB Ubu_noob read this yet?
[12:15] <Snorrre> I'm on a win7 machine, and ubuntu cant seem to find my harddrives
[12:16] <ManDay> dr_willis: I don't know. I'ven't configured anything. I just install lightDM and booted.
[12:16] <auronandace> Snorrre: are you using wubi?
[12:16] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' from  the live cd so we can see your disk layout.
[12:16] <dr_willis> ManDay:  and your video card is?
[12:16] <ManDay> pfifo: What do you mean by "my .xsession"?
[12:16] <dr_willis> ManDay:  and what were you using befor?
[12:17] <Snorrre> Sorry, ive trie to explain a bit more. 2 sec :)
[12:17] <dr_willis> ManDay:  the file .xsession - whats in it.
[12:17] <ManDay> pfifo: lightDM runs without a user
[12:17] <Ubu_noob> bazhang: yes i have i actually still have it open but the sudo /media/ blah blah/ install part does not work for me for me it should be sudo mlfolder/install
[12:17] <ManDay> dr_willis: Where is that file?
[12:17] <Ubu_noob> but it doesnt work
[12:17] <dr_willis> ManDay:  your users home dir normally
[12:17] <ManDay> dr_willis: I did not use anything before. I just set that system up from scratch
[12:17] <ManDay> dr_willis: In what users home dir?!
[12:17] <dr_willis> ManDay:  'from scratch' meaning what exactly?
[12:17] <ManDay> dr_willis: What you and pfifo say doesn't make much sense
[12:18] <ManDay> Why would lightDM fail just because a single user has no .xsession
[12:18] <dr_willis> ManDay:  you need to give more details..  we are assuming you did a normal install.
[12:18] <Snorrre> I'm on a win 7 machine, with a raid 0 setup. First i tried the "dualinstall option" but when i restarted the computer, i cant find any disk to root. Then i tried to install ubuntu on a seperate partition, but when i come to the step where i need to choose wich harddrive to install it on, i got zero options.
[12:18] <dr_willis> ManDay:  if it was auto logging in.. for one reason
[12:18] <Ubu_noob> how can i run and installer as a root user? even though i am the only user
[12:18] <ManDay> dr_willis: This is how I got to where I am:   debootstrap ; apt-get install xfce4 lightdm casper linux-generic
[12:19] <jutnux> !sudo | ubu_noob
[12:19] <ManDay> dr_willis: So let's rule this out. Where is configured whether lightDM autologins?
[12:19] <dr_willis> ManDay:  using debootstrap - eww. :) I would guess that somthing lightdm is wanting is not installed yet. No idea what.
[12:19] <jutnux> Ubu_noob: Basically, run anything with sudo and you have permissions of God.
[12:19] <ManDay> dr_willis: Well, I can't really know: I just relied on apt to resolve the deps
[12:19] <dr_willis> ManDay:  you could go to the console, and try a 'startx' to verify that X is working after stoping lightdm.
[12:19] <Ubu_noob> ya but the installer is a gui
[12:19] <ManDay> dr_willis: xfce works fine
[12:20] <ManDay> (if I start it directly)
[12:20] <dr_willis> Ubu_noob:  gksudo theinstaller
[12:20] <dr_willis> ManDay:  now abouit if you just start 'sudo lightdm' from the console. and look for error mesages
[12:20] <Ubu_noob> dr_willis: i do that and the terminal is doings something but the installer never pops up
[12:20] <ManDay> dr_willis: no errors
[12:20] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  keep it in the channel please.
[12:21] <ManDay> dr_willis: The log of lightdm just says it starts and stops constantly
[12:21] <mah454> i need change resolution , please
[12:21] <ManDay> dr_willis: i'll paste you the log, one second please
[12:21] <mah454> my standard resolution is 1366x768 but system luck in 1024x768 !
[12:21] <mah454> how can fix this ?
[12:22] <jutnux> mah454: What graphics card do you have?
[12:22] <ManDay>  http://paste.pocoo.org/show/522042/        <--- dr_willis pfifo
[12:22] <ManDay> you see it just goes ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF
[12:23] <ManDay> (and that's what it looks like, it just flickers ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF)
[12:23] <ManDay> in the split seconds in is ON I can see a black background and a mousepointer. as if X had been started without any WM
[12:24] <mah454> jutnux, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[12:24] <mah454> jutnux, i installed mesa library and utils !
[12:25] <jutnux> mah454: Have you looked in your display settings?
[12:25] <tgambit65> Ok ran additional drivers but doesn't see the card. The CD it came with has linux drivers on in but, no idea how to install them. Doesn't seem to newbiefied instructions with it. lol   Anyway in the directory for linux it has several scripts. autoconf_rtl8192c_usb_linux.h, clean, ifcfg-wlan0, Makefile, runwpa, wlan0dhcp, wpa1.conf. There are also four other directories named core, hal, include, and os dep. And sorry guys not sure what lsu
[12:25] <Snorrre> dr_willis: I just need Ubuntu to run on this computer, alongeside windows. Just need to get ubuntu to work, so i can run a linux only program to unbrick my androidphone. Got any pointers on what i should do?
[12:26] <bazhang> tgambit65, run the command lsusb from the terminal and paste.ubuntu.com with the output (giving us the url)
[12:26] <bazhang> tgambit65, with the computer powered up and the card inserted, of course
[12:27] <tgambit65> ok will do
[12:27] <ManDay>  Does anyone know why the   gnome-network-manager nm-applet  is themed differently than my XFCE4 windows?! It seems to just use Raleigh while the rest of the system repects the current theme!
[12:28] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  if you just need to run ubuntu for a short time for a single app. you could just use the live cd
[12:29] <Snorrre> dr_willis: Is that the same as running ubuntu, from a flash drive?
[12:29] <dr_willis> ManDay:  they may be using gtk3 and xfce is still using gtk2
[12:29] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  yes.
[12:29] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  you an do a live install, or a ful linstall to a flash drive
[12:30] <Snorrre> dr_willis: I got that option after creating a boot able usb stick, with ubuntu on it. And sence it couldnt find any disks I quit, and i got throwned into the Live CD part. That sould be the same right?
[12:30] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  thats the live desktop. yes.
[12:30] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  you can run stuff and isntall there to your ram, or a persistant save file on the flash
[12:31] <AR-Brad> Hi, I'm trying to install Wubi, but for some reason Windows keeps giving me the error "pyl467.tmp.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorrt for the inconvenience". Is there a way to fix this?
[12:31] <pfifo> ManDay, looks likethe problem is here, DEBUG: Launching process 4384: /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-greeter-session '/usr/sbin/unity-greeter'
[12:31] <mah454> jutnux, yes i look . but i can not change more then 1024x768 !
[12:31] <pfifo> ManDay, does /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-greeter-session exist? if so pastebin
[12:31] <Snorrre> dr_willis: Ah cool. But i recon i need to install alot of drivers, for the system to connect to my phone. Would that work with the live desktop?
[12:32] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  no idea what 'drivers' you would install for the phone. For my phones/rooting i just needed the adb/android sdk. i think.
[12:32] <dr_willis> i rooted all my phones via 'super one click' on windows
[12:32] <AR-Brad> can I get some help?
[12:33] <Snorrre> dr_willis: That should be enough i tihnk. Its a Nexus S. But i got a smal problem with the live desktop. I manage to connect to my wifi, but for some reason the live desktop cant connect to the internet.
[12:33] <dr_willis> AR-Brad:  check the forums for that exact error message? I dont use wubi.
[12:33] <Snorrre> dr_willis: The problem is that the phone is now bricked, and i need to run an unbrick application in ubuntu, to acc3ess the fastboot :)
[12:33] <ManDay>  http://paste.pocoo.org/show/522046/ > pfifo
[12:33] <AR-Brad> dr_willis, alright. I'll look around. thanks.
[12:34] <_gm> Snorrre: you dont need any special drivers on ubuntu; android ask is more than enough.
[12:34] <ManDay> pfifo: Yeah looks like it want's unity-greeter then!
[12:34] <tgambit65> Ok pasted the output
[12:34] <pfifo> ManDay, does /usr/sbin/unity-greeter exist?
[12:34] <ManDay> it does
[12:35] <pfifo> ManDay, is it a shell script?
[12:35] <ManDay> Nope
[12:35] <Snorrre> Then i tihnk i can manage to get it working. But the problem now is that i cant access internet on the live desktop, even tough it is connected to the network
[12:35] <ManDay> But I don't have unity...
[12:35] <ManDay> I guess lightDM requires Unity, after all... urgh
[12:36] <pfifo> ManDay, try replacing /usr/sbin/unity-greeter with a link to startxfce4
[12:37] <tgambit65>  bazhang did you see last message? Pasted output of lsusb to pastebin. Thanks for help man.
[12:38] <tgambit65> Sorry took so long had to hook laptop to internet first via cat 5
[12:41] <dr_willis> ManDay:  seems there may be other 'greeters' in  /usr/share/xgreeters/
[12:41] <pfifo> ManDay, there seems to be a few different greeters https://launchpad.net/lightdm-gtk-greeter
[12:41] <dr_willis> from what i can tell unity-greeter just does the position of the login/gear buttons.. i think
[12:42] <Snorrre> dr_willis: Do you know what could be the problem, with the internet access? All other devices connects, but the live desktop connects aswell, but not even firefox works.
[12:42] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  check by pinging your dns servers, and router/gateway
[12:42] <new2linx> i know this is Ubuntu channel but does anyone know what file to edit in OSX 8.8.2 to add my Ubuntu headless server NFS share so that when i fire up OSX the NFS is auto mounted. The /etc/fstab.hd file isn'
[12:42] <new2linx> 't used by OSX 8.8.2
[12:43] <dr_willis> new2linx:  there are OSX channels on freenode
[12:43] <asif> hi...how can i make desktop video in order to share on youtube..?
[12:43] <dr_willis> asif:  'recordmydesktop' in the repos. and the gui to it.
[12:43] <Snorrre> dr_willis: Thats a bit to advanced for me. Ive heard about DNS servers, but got no idea what it is. It tried to ping a webside in the terminal, but using the command "ping www.cnn.com"
[12:43] <jutnux> !recordmydesktop | asif
[12:43] <tgambit65> Ok I am stupid I see now needed to give you URL.  paste.ubuntu.com/773244/
[12:43] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  and does it reply?
[12:43] <jutnux> asif: recordmydesktop, ffmpeg, there are lots of them!
[12:44] <new2linx> dr_willis, yeap, and i've been in em for over a week. LOL nothing, just throwing out feelers.
[12:44] <Snorrre> dr_willis: Nope. It times out. And i checked again if its connect on the wifi, and it is.
[12:44] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  try pinging (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[12:44] <asif> jutnux:  which one is easier..?
[12:44] <jutnux> asif: RecordMyDesktop with a GUI.
[12:44] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  try pinging the ip of your router, or other mahcines on the lan.
[12:44] <new2linx> dr_willis, not beig arogant but I am not a beginner. i've been around the block for 5 years now.
[12:44] <asif> jutnux:  ok thank you
[12:45] <Snorrre> dr_willis: ok, ill try to ping the ip you just adressed, and i will try to ping everything else on the network. I'll try it now.
[12:45] <new2linx> dr_willis, yes i've googled it, yes i've been in OSX irc, yes I have tweeted macrumors, yes I have searched macrumors, etc etc. LOL
[12:45] <dr_willis> new2linx:  i doubt if theres going to be many answers in here on OSX - you may have better luck in the BSD channels
[12:45] <laerne> Hello, I have a driver problem with my wireless card.  I've installed the recommended driver, but my card is still unrecognized by ifconfig
[12:46] <new2linx> dr_willis, ok, good tip. thank you. i always at least ask only because i never know when there's someone out there like me who runs all 3 major OS's on their network
[12:46]  * dr_willis finally tossed out his OS-X box :)
[12:47] <ManDay> pfifo: What is the point?
[12:47] <new2linx> dr_willis, this is an apple tv version 1 running OS 8.8.2 for XBMC
[12:47] <ManDay> dr_willis: pfifo : *IS* it trying to autologin or not?
[12:47] <new2linx> dr_willis, with the crystal HD chip for my 1080p streaming pleasure. :-)
[12:47] <ManDay> Isn't the "greeter" the login screen?
[12:47] <ManDay> Why would I replace the login screen with xfce?!
[12:48] <pfifo> ManDay, I do not know, im on 10.04 and it dosent use lightdm, im not sure how it works... yet
[12:48] <dr_willis> ManDay:  the greeter is like the 'theme' the login screen is using i belive.
[12:48] <Ubu_noob> Does anyone know there the launcher for MATLAB is ?
[12:48] <new2linx> dr_willis, ManDay yes, greeter's are a GUI login screen to get you to your default desktop setup
[12:49] <dr_willis> Ubu_noob:  its possiuble it dident make one.. if it did not come as a .deb
[12:49] <new2linx> ManDay, are you getting help from someone? I have a moment if not
[12:49] <pfifo> ManDay, do an `apt-cache search greeter` and see if you can find a xfce4 greeter
[12:49] <dr_willis> Ubu_noob:  look to see if it installed a .desktop file somewhere.
[12:50] <dr_willis> Ubu_noob:  or just make a launcher/.desktop file for it
[12:50] <Ubu_noob> dr_willis: i dont know how to do that, :(
[12:50] <Ubu_noob> and i dont see a .desktop folder in the Matlab folder
[12:51] <Snorrre> Dr_willis: When i try to ping trough the live desktop now, nothing happens
[12:51] <dr_willis>  its a .desktop FILE
[12:53] <Snorrre> Dr_willis: It just say: Ping (<IP_ADDRESS>) 56 (84) bytes of data.   And nothing more
[12:53] <Ubu_noob> how can i gain access to write to the usr/local/ folders
[12:53] <pfifo> I just made some fresh coffee, care for a cup dr_willis? ManDay?
[12:54] <wt0vremr>  Ubu_noob - use chmod and chown
[12:54] <ManDay> pfifo: sure, thanks ;]
[12:54] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  you did 'ping <IP_ADDRESS>'
[12:54] <Snorrre> Dr_willis: So it mean it worked?
[12:54] <Ubu_noob> can you be more specific wt0vremr
[12:54] <ManDay> new2linx: Are you familar with lightdm internals?
[12:55] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  somthing like this.....
[12:55] <dr_willis> $ ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:55] <dr_willis> PING <IP_ADDRESS> (<IP_ADDRESS>) 56(84) bytes of data.
[12:55] <dr_willis> 64 bytes from <IP_ADDRESS>: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=1.68 ms
[12:55] <bullgard6> dr_willis: In the mean time I found the solution to the problem how to copy&paste in urxvt. Use the mouse buffer. Highlight in the urxvt window the string in question. Select the target window and target insert position. Shift+Insert will insert the string in question.
[12:56] <BluesKaj> Howdy
[12:56] <wt0vremr> Ubu_noob okay
[12:56] <ManDay> dr_willis: Any idea how lightdm determines which argument it will pass to lightdm-greeter-session?
[12:56] <Sidewinder1> Mornin' BluesKaj !!
[12:56] <dr_willis> ManDay:  nope. I use a headless ubuntu server 99% of the time these days
[12:56] <BluesKaj> Hey Sidewinder1
[12:56] <wt0vremr> Ubu_noob chmod 777 /any/directory/you/wany/*
[12:56] <Snorrre> Dr_willis: But i dont get the confirmation, that the ping was delivered.
[12:57] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  it should time out.. sounds like you got a misconfigured machine.
[12:57] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  thats the ip# of your router?
[12:57] <wt0vremr> Ubu_noob for example sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/*
[12:57] <Snorrre> Dr_willis: I belive it is <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:57] <dr_willis> Ubu_noob:  dont do that chmod command......
[12:57] <samba35> i have ubuntu server 10.04 ,how do i wake-up a system over internet
[12:58] <Ubu_noob> how come dr_willis
[12:58] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  ping an ip of a known machine on the lan.
[12:58] <Snorrre> De_Willis: The machine works fine. Got win7 on it, and no problem at all
[12:58] <yacc> Any idea why Xorg is ignoring my Virtual directives? https://gist.github.com/1490150 <= xrandr claims maxium size for Screen0 to be 1920x1920 :(
[12:58] <dr_willis> Ubu_noob:  it could break things badly.. and theres no point inb doing that to /usr/share/
[12:58] <pfifo> ManDay, do dpkg -L <path/to/lightdm.deb>
[12:58] <dr_willis> Ubu_noob:  learn to use 'sudo' and 'gksudo' as needed to access system directories
[12:59] <pfifo> ManDay, that will list all the files installed by lightdm, and in that list should be some sessions and conf files
[12:59] <Ubu_noob> dr_willis: ok but i tried using gksudo to install MATLAB but it did not start the installer it just paused then did nothing so i cant write to the /usr/local/ that it needs to be in
[12:59] <Snorrre> dr_Willis: Right now, apart from the machine itself, i only have a asus transformer connected. How can I check the ip it has recived?
[13:00] <dr_willis> ManDay:  in /etc/lightdm/ theres mention of the unity greeter in the config files
[13:00] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  ifconfig command or ipconfig on a windows box. other tools for other os's
[13:00] <dr_willis> Ubu_noob:  its possible theres a deeper bug in the installer. OR you could just install it to your users home dir.
[13:01] <dr_willis> Ubu_noob:  you dont just go around doing chmod 777 to system directories and hope things work. :)
[13:01] <Ubu_noob> ya thats what i ended up doing but i wanted to do everything like it is supposed to cause now i dont have a launcher for matlab

[13:01] <pfifo> ManDay, (personally id abort and debootstrap a 10.04, the lts always works best for live systems)
[13:02] <Ubu_noob> dr_willis: haha. i tried but i dont know what i did wrong it says no such file or directory exist when i click the launcher
[13:02] <new2linx> ManDay, no but that doesn't mean I can't help. :-)   what's the exact problem?
[13:02] <dr_willis> Ubu_noob:  CaSe Is ImpoRnatnT in LinUx  for onething..
[13:02] <ManDay> pfifo: Well, I used LTS for the Live image originally, but since I really don't want much in the image, I think  I could aswell try oneiric this time
[13:03] <dr_willis> Ubu_noob:  watch out for spaces in paths/filenames also.

[13:03] <pfifo> ManDay, the lts allows you to keep upgrading you livesystem for 5 years
[13:03] <Ubu_noob> dr_willis: i know but i just copied the instructions given on the matlab ubuntu set up page ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB is there any chance they did something wrong? im guessing no that it must have been me
[13:03] <new2linx> ManDay, unless you inform me exactly what the issue is I would say this explains everyting: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM
[13:03] <ManDay> i think it's 3 , not 5 pfifo
[13:04] <pfifo> ManDay, its 5+ for the packages lifetime, 3 for desktop support
[13:04] <dr_willis> Ubu_noob:  could be a typo. or its out of date due to changes in matlab.
[13:04] <ManDay> pfifo: What about kernels, for instance. The newest I got on lts was a 2er kernel - are the fixes beackported?
[13:04] <dr_willis> Ubu_noob:  it pays to pay attention and learn what its doing not just follow directions blindly
[13:05] <ManDay> or else it gets the hose again
[13:05] <pfifo> ManDay, after 3 the server team will make updates here and there
[13:05] <Ubu_noob> dr_willis: ya i know but sometimes when the directions dont help all i can do is follow blindly
[13:06] <ManDay> pfifo: Ok, that's great. But why would I use LTS now, assuming that it works with Oneiric?
[13:06] <almoxarife> !info matlab
[13:06] <pfifo> ManDay, Im just saying what I would do in your position
[13:06] <laerne> I've installed the broadcom802.11 STA driver to run my BCM4311 wireless card, lsmod tells me the module (wl) is loaded, but still ifconfig and the network-manager-applet do not recognize my wireless card
[13:07] <Snorrre> Dr_willis: I now tried to ping a another device on the network, and it has the same problem. I do not get any confimation on the ping.
[13:07] <Snorrre> Even tough i'm on the wifi
[13:07] <laerne> That's pretty awkward, when I install Fedora14, I ran without any trouble.
[13:08] <ManDay>  Does anyone know why the   gnome-network-manager nm-applet  is themed differently than my XFCE4 windows?! It seems to just use Raleigh while the rest of the system repects the current theme!
[13:08] <doritoDan> Hey guys.
[13:08] <doritoDan> Is Ubuntu a good way to start learning Unix?
[13:08] <doritoDan> Or BSD
[13:08] <ManDay> doritoDan: Depends on what you want to learn.
[13:08] <laerne> doritoDon -> depends on what you want to learn in Unix...
[13:08] <ManDay> From the way you make it sound, no.
[13:08] <SwedeMike> doritoDan: BSD is more unix than linux is, but you probably don't need pure unix for what you're thinking of.
[13:08] <doritoDan> Everything about it.
[13:09] <ManDay> doritoDan: Then no.
[13:09] <doritoDan> Ok.
[13:09] <doritoDan> It's just that BSD is too high level for me right now.
[13:09] <pfifo> Solaris is a good way to start learning Unix
[13:09] <doritoDan> I don't understand a thing.
[13:09] <ManDay> doritoDan: Go with Gentoo or Slackware, something simple.
[13:09] <doritoDan> Okay.
[13:09] <SwedeMike> doritoDan: problem with ubuntu is that they're trying to hide the unix beneath all the GUI, with BSD you're forced to learn more.
[13:09] <ManDay> Simple as in complicated
[13:09] <doritoDan> I know SwedeMike, but that's why I think it'll be a good first step.
[13:09] <doritoDan> Like
[13:09] <doritoDan> You only have so much contact with the BSD interface
[13:10] <ManDay> doritoDan: If you are interesting in learning UNIX you should use a UNIX
[13:10] <doritoDan> I am guessing Ubuntu is a good first step in exploring the deeper workings of *nix?
[13:10] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  does 'ifconfig' even show your problem machine having an ip? shunds like its not even connected to the network.
[13:10] <doritoDan> Ok.
[13:10] <laerne> SwedeMike, doritoDan: Yeah, try something with a simpler config design, like : FreeBSD, archlinux, ...
[13:10] <dr_willis> doritoDan:  once you learn the basics.. its all easially applied to other *nix systems and variants.
[13:10] <bazhang> lets get on topic of ubuntu support please
[13:11] <doritoDan> I'm already using FreeBSD.
[13:11] <doritoDan> It's too hard.
[13:11] <doritoDan> But alright.
[13:11] <dr_willis> 'learning the basics and FUNdamentals' :)
[13:11] <doritoDan> I'll try. Thanks.
[13:11] <FloodBot1> doritoDan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:11] <Snorrre> Dr_willis: what is the ipconfig command in terminal?
[13:11] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  ifconfig
[13:12] <Snorrre> Dr_Willis: What should it say? Got a wall of text :)
[13:12] <ManDay> pfifo: Any idea whether casper will work without a greeter at all?
[13:12] <laerne> doritoDan -> Agreed.  I personally learn unix on debian stable + xfce.  With Debian stable you can experience a bit without running in too much problem
[13:12] <ManDay> * Display manager, that is
[13:12] <doritoDan> laerne: Alright. THanks.
[13:12] <doritoDan> Thanks*
[13:12] <pfifo> ManDay, I put 'startx' in my /etc/init/tty1.conf
[13:13] <ManDay> pfifo: I did something similar on my real computer in initab
[13:13] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  some info about  inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>
[13:13] <ManDay> I still don't quite understand why the unity greeter doesnt work though and immediately terminates
[13:14] <pfifo> ManDay, but now that I think about it. I know for sure your autologging in casper always does that
[13:14] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  for the device you are interested in.
[13:14] <ManDay> pfifo: I think I've read something similar. Casper's scripts log one in, let me see whether I can find it...
[13:14] <Snorrre> Dr_willis: inet addr: <IP_ADDRESS>, Bcast: 192.268.0.255
[13:14] <dr_willis> Snorrre:  so see if the other machines can ping that ip.
[13:14] <Snorrre> ok 2 sec
[13:15] <laerne> ManDay: you're pretty brave to edit inittab... Isn't there a simpler config file to specify your login manager ?
[13:15] <pfifo> ManDay, /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/15autologin
[13:15] <dr_willis> ManDay:  you could just use /etc/rc.local

[13:44] <bazhang> tMH, not sure what you mean by the "expect script" could you clarify please
[13:44] <Shizuo16> Fatal Error - MLT's SDL module not found ...
[13:44] <tMH> bazhang - I mean expect tk scripting, wanted to "cat file1>>file2" inside my script
[13:44] <ManDay> pfifo: Thanks for helping. I'll just forgo lightdm though. This turns out to be more trouble than it's worth.
[13:45] <tMH> no luck with spawn cat file1>>file2, no luck with exec cat file1>>file2...
[13:45] <tMH> I suspect that expect script system sees the file1>>file2 as _one_ file to be 'cat''ed.
[13:45] <laerne> there no network-manager command...
[13:45] <tMH> and telling me that there is no such file..
[13:46] <waperboy> I just discovered something neat - you can delete all contents of a file (truncate) by simply doing "> file"

[14:09] <tgambit65> Hey guys trying to install a wireless card on a laptop that is supposed work with linux. No idea how to install the drivers for this thing. Here is the readme file from the directory for the linux drivers. Can someone take a look and lend a hand? http://paste.ubuntu.com/773310/      Thanks in advance!
[14:09] <haltemien> almoxarife: Thanks mate. Ill check it out :)
[14:10] <zhoujie> hi
[14:10] <soreau> tgambit65: Most cards should justwork with the drivers included in the linux kernel. What care is it per lspci?
[14:10] <soreau> tgambit65: s/care/card
[14:11] <conntrack> hi
[14:12] <Sidewinder1> tgambit65, Did you follow ALL of those instructions? It might be better to just boot the system with the new card installed.
[14:12] <lordjj> What I can do when my screen goes black? Apart from cntrl+alt+backspace?
[14:13] <tgambit65> Have booted it with the card plugged in but, the power light didn't come on. I used the windows driver utility and got the card to power up using the XP 32 bit driver but, would not connect to the AP.
[14:13] <waperboy> Varazir, of course it's the same with scp, symlinks are for convenience - seldom do they cause problems
[14:13] <tgambit65> Soreau I am a total newbie not sure what you mean exactly
[14:14] <bazhang> tgambit65, still not seen the lsusb output
[14:14] <soreau> tgambit65: I mean on the machine with the card installed, run lspci from your terminal and post the line for the wifi card here
[14:14] <tgambit65> Sent you the URL thought. Just a sec and will send it again
[14:14] <bazhang> paste.ubuntu.com <---- tgambit65 output of lsusb
[14:15] <soreau> tgambit65: or if its a usb card, lsusb naturally
[14:15] <Sidewinder1> bazhang, It's here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/773310/
[14:15] <lordjj> What I can do when my screen goes black after resuming from a screensaver? Apart from cntrl+alt+backspace?
[14:15] <BluesKaj> tgambit65, how about sharing that URL, so we can learn from it too?
[14:15] <Sidewinder1> bazhang, Oops, you're way ahead of me; sorry..
[14:15] <bazhang> Sidewinder1, thats not it
[14:16] <conntrack> That is a dodgy image I just found
[14:16] <tgambit65> lsusb output is http://paste.ubuntu.com/773322/
[14:16] <GeorgeSebastian> Hey, my OpenGL applications that was building well in ubuntu 10.10 gives me this error
[14:16] <GeorgeSebastian> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[14:16] <GeorgeSebastian> freeglut (./a.out): OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display ':0.0'
[14:16] <GeorgeSebastian> any idea how to rectify this?
[14:17] <kamilnadeem> BluesKaj Hi
[14:18] <kamilnadeem> Need your help here?
[14:18] <Acorn> Is there a simple command launcher that can recognise bash aliases?
[14:18] <GeorgeSebastian> I've posted the details here http://stackoverflow.com/q/8545291/781188
[14:18] <soreau> tgambit65: So you have a realtek chip.. mightbe supported by rtl driver. If you look at the output of iwconfig, does it show a wlan- interface?
[14:19] <BluesKaj> kamilnadeem, well, if you expalin your problem ppl will help
[14:19] <kamilnadeem> A friend is asking wether he can do his Cognos related work which uses Excel on Ubuntu?
[14:19] <tgambit65> No wireless extensions
[14:20] <Acorn> Is there a way to switch between open windows by typing the name?
[14:20] <soreau> tgambit65: ok so the driver was not auto-loaded or there was a problem. Check the output of dmesg for related error messages
[14:20] <BluesKaj> kamilnadeem, do you mean in libre-office ?
[14:20] <kamilnadeem> BluesKaj: yes
[14:21] <kamilnadeem> BluesKaj: he is saying "it launches itself as a plugin
[14:21] <kamilnadeem> cuz a lot of functionalities are linked with excel, rest it is a complete business intelligence tool"
[14:22] <soreau> Acorn: If you use compiz, there is scale addon plugin
[14:23] <Yusuke> How may Squid improve vps connection and stability ? is it even possible?
[14:24] <DarsVaeda> hi, what do "kept back" packages mean in apt?
[14:24] <soreau> Acorn: sorry, its called scale window titlefilter
[14:24] <Acorn> soreau: ah, that makes more sense :)
[14:24] <DarsVaeda> I'm on 11.10 and there is banshee which is kept back (says apt)
[14:24] <soreau> DarsVaeda: Try apt-get dist-upgrade
[14:24] <DarsVaeda> I did
[14:24] <jdavidboyd> Tech-1: did that, not there....
[14:24] <DarsVaeda> that's what she said :D
[14:25] <jdavidboyd> or this, where is the setting to determine which program opens what type of data file?  I can just set adobe to not be the primary pdf reader.   Found it once, can't find it again....
[14:25] <Tech-1> jdavidboyd:  then its just the install plug that was downloaded and NOT installed ?
[14:26] <BluesKaj> kamilnadeem, dunno , I suggest you research Cognos/Libreoffice
[14:26] <DarsVaeda> oh I guess I know what is the deal:  banshee : Depends: libmtp9 but it is not going to be installed
[14:26] <kamilnadeem> BluesKaj: doing just that.
[14:26] <soreau> jdavidboyd: In your file browser, locate the file, right click on it and select open with..
[14:26] <jdavidboyd> Tech-1: no, it was a bin file from the adobe site,  ran that with sudo, and adobe reader was installed and set to be the default pdf reader
[14:26] <tgambit65> Well don't think I see any but, then not really sure. I may be well missing something. Here is the output. http://paste.ubuntu.com/773335/
[14:27] <WoollyJumperJon> Does any one have any suggestions for how to stream/make availble music vids from my Ubuntu PC on my Xbox360?
[14:28] <lordjj> What I can do when my screen goes black after resuming from a screensaver? Apart from cntrl+alt+backspace?
[14:29] <e_t_> WoollyJumperJon: Xbox is from Microsoft. Does it support Windows file sharing?
[14:29] <GeorgeSebastian> hey, any idea why glx extension doesn't work in ubuntu 11.04?
[14:29] <debian_noob> e_t_, samba?
[14:30] <soreau> ! pm | tgambit65
[14:30] <soreau> ! who | tgambit65
[14:30] <e_t_> debian_noob: that was my thought, but there's no reason to suggest it unless Xbox supports it.
[14:30] <WoollyJumperJon> I wanted to watch videos or listen to music through it's dlna capability
[14:30] <debian_noob> yeah
[14:31] <tgambit65> Gotcha.. Sorry guys
[14:31] <WoollyJumperJon> on my TV
[14:31] <Tech-1> jdavidboyd:  i would open nautilus and do a search
[14:32] <debian_noob> WoollyJumperJon, XBMC?
[14:32] <doktoreas> hello everybody..is it normal that from the terminal i have got a timeout if trying to wget the site running on the same machine?
[14:33] <WoollyJumperJon> is XBMC in Ubuntu ?
[14:33] <debian_noob> yeah]
[14:33] <debian_noob> you have to add it as a backport
[14:33] <Sidewinder1> WoollyJumperJon, Not really sure if I understand your question, but if you wish to save streaming items, form the web, have you looked into the Plug-in for Fierfox, called, UnPlug?
[14:33] <Sidewinder1> from, even.
[14:34] <debian_noob> WoollyJumperJon,  #xbmc
[14:34] <debian_noob> WoollyJumperJon,  or http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=XBMC_Online_Manual

[14:35] <WoollyJumperJon> I'm taking a look at XBMC thanks for the tip
[14:36] <debian_noob> WoollyJumperJon,  try BluesKaj 's solution too
[14:36] <BluesKaj> xbmc is a nice app , but it takes over your pc woo
[14:36] <BluesKaj> WoollyJumperJon, ^
[14:36] <Tech-1> lol sure does
[14:36] <debian_noob> BluesKaj, takes over?
[14:37] <debian_noob> as in?
[14:37] <BluesKaj> Tech-1, I tried it successfully for a while but there arre too many menu levels to access stuff that should one click away
[14:37] <Tech-1> think of it like AOL
[14:38] <kodoku> my laptop always hangs after turning my wifi card on
[14:38] <Tech-1> "welocme, weve got your hard drive"
[14:38] <kodoku> I thought it was a hw problem but this is my third one
[14:39] <soreau> tgambit65: Have a look here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/795770 It seems you may have to manually install the driver
[14:39] <BluesKaj> debian_noob, xbmc tries to do too much , the gui is a like a DE
[14:39] <debian_noob> BluesKaj, true
[14:40] <doktoreas> is there some network if wget http://www.test.com goes timeout with test.com running on the same machine?
[14:41] <soreau> doktoreas: What are you trying to do?
[14:41] <debian_noob> BluesKaj,  and you have to add backports
[14:41] <debian_noob> i dont like doing that
[14:41] <debian_noob> messes up with stability
[14:42] <doktoreas> soreau, i have some troubles installing a webapp and i wanna use the domain name instead of localhost, but it doesn't work. This is confirmed if I try wget http://domain.com

[14:42] <tgambit65> ! soreau I have a feeling your right but, I have no idea how. lol
[14:42] <soreau> doktoreas: Maybe you want ping instead of wget
[14:43] <a34154ek> This also means that I can only log in as a Guest. Please help!
[14:43] <nine_pt> anynone can give a hint why my external monitor is on only when I plug it on start ?
[14:43] <mongy> a34154ek,  sudo blkid /dev/sdaX (replace x with your partition number for home)  does it match the UUID in /etc/fstab ?
[14:43] <soreau> tgambit65: Just read that bug report. It has some links to the driver and instructions in the comments
[14:43] <nine_pt> after I make login, the laptop detects the monitor but never show anything on it ....
[14:43] <doktoreas> soreau, also ping doesn't work
[14:43] <llutz> a34154ek: skip mounting, log into console - fix your /etc/fstab
[14:44] <tgambit65> Soreau thanks I will continue reading it.
[14:44] <soreau> doktoreas: ping google.com does not show data received?

[14:44] <llutz> a34154ek: don't use graphical login
[14:45] <a34154ek> llutz, what do u mean?

[14:47] <nine_pt> a34154ek : do you have free space on disk ?
[14:47] <llutz> a34154ek: did you change to a console using alt-ctrl-f1   ? there is no login selection, just a login-prompt
[14:49] <kodoku> my past few laptops of similar models hung on wifi; i thought the card overheated but thats not the problem

[14:55] <vollucris> anyone here that knows LVM?
[14:56] <js> hi. after having installed Ubuntu and booting it via EFI, is there some way to boot it using BIOS emulation? I've read that the NVidia drivers don't work with EFI. It's a MacBook Pro 7,1.
[14:56] <yappy> exit
[14:57] <debian_noob> js, just asking, whats EFI?
[14:57] <js> successor to BIOS that Apple has been using since they use Intel CPUs
[14:58] <cheshair> hi! i have 11.10 and suffer from this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz-plugins-main/+bug/876591 when can i expect the patch being available through simple dist-upgrade?
[14:58] <Advocated> Hi there, got a client pc that wont connect to a wireless device. It list is, it will connect to another one, but it wont connect to this one and another one. Latest version of Ubuntu, are there any logs I can check to try and work out the problem?
[14:59] <vollucris> I'm loosing my mind trying to restore a Volume group from an old install. 1 of the logical volumes shows active and doesn't allow me to close it :(
[15:00] <doritoDan> What's the best C++ IDE for Ubuntu?
[15:00] <doritoDan> I use Visual Studio for Windows
[15:00] <soreau> ! best
[15:00] <soreau> ! ide
[15:01] <nine_pt> cheshair : have you tried the ppa  mentioned herer : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz-plugins-main/+bug/876591/comments/10
[15:01] <vollucris> I searched all over the internet and there's no info on how to stop this
[15:01] <debian_noob> doritoDan,  geany
[15:01] <doritoDan> If you are a social human being and not a robot it's usually possible to determine which applications can usually be considered best from a mainstream perspective.
[15:02] <schnuffle> vollucris: is any volume of the vg mounted?
[15:02] <doritoDan> Anyway
[15:02] <doritoDan> Is there a counterpart to VSE C++ for Ubuntu?
[15:02] <jutnux> doritoDan: Mono.
[15:02] <doritoDan> geany and Mono are two IDEs?
[15:02] <debian_noob> geany is the best for me
[15:02] <schnuffle> doritoDan: Not that integrated
[15:02] <doritoDan> Are they visual or commandline?
[15:02] <jutnux> Visual
[15:02] <doritoDan> Cool.
[15:02] <jutnux> ^ doritoDan
[15:02] <debian_noob> doritoDan,  geany is visual
[15:02] <doritoDan> geany is Visual, but Mono isn't?
[15:02] <cheshair> nine_pt, actually i did not. i was in search of an official fix
[15:02] <vollucris> nope, nothing mounted
[15:03] <vollucris> well, I have 2 VGs one is the OS and that one is mounted...but the LV that keeps showing as active is in a separate VG  which is not mounted
[15:03] <js> hm, did I get it right I have to wipe my entire disk and reinstall ubuntu to switch from EFI to BIOS emulation?
[15:03] <amfg_> thanks for help
[15:03] <nine_pt> cheshair, that can take some time, if you need the solution, my sugestion, is to use the ppa
[15:03] <doritoDan> I'm confused. Are geany and Mono both visual? And which one of them most resembles either VSE C++ or Bloodshed Dev C++?
[15:04] <nine_pt> you can see what will be installed and if something go wrong remove from the list and update to previous version
[15:04] <court_jester> My multimedia keys not working in ubuntu 11.10. Someone had that type of trouble in this version?
[15:04] <doritoDan> Isn't Mono for .NET?
[15:04] <doritoDan> I need C++.
[15:05] <Advocated> Hi there, got a client pc that wont connect to a wireless device. It list is, it will connect to another one, but it wont connect to this one and another one. Latest version of Ubuntu, are there any logs I can check to try and work out the problem?
[15:05] <Yusuke> How to install tcllib in ubuntu
[15:05] <cheshair> nine_pt, i see. what is that time required for? necessary checks before entering official repos? i'll take into consideration ppa way for sure, thank you very much for pointing out
[15:05] <debian_noob> doritoDan,  geany
[15:06] <debian_noob> its all about personal preference
[15:06] <doritoDan> debian_noob: That does in no way answer the questions I just asked.
[15:06] <schnuffle> Yusuke: sudo apt-get install tcllib
[15:06] <vollucris> basically I have 4 LVs in one VG and 3 LVS can be stopped but the last one doesn't want to. I keep getting an error saying it is in use...last night was doing the same thing but with one of the other LVs while the one from today was fine
[15:06] <debian_noob> and ive never used visual studio
[15:06] <nine_pt> don't know how many time it can take ... depends from developers and package managers ...
[15:06] <debian_noob> so i dont know how it looks
[15:06] <doritoDan> 1) Are they both visual? 2) Which one most resembles VSE C++? 3) Which one most resembles Bloodshed Dev C++? 4) Are they both for C++?
[15:06] <doritoDan> :-)
[15:07] <nine_pt> don't know if exist something with that information
[15:07] <doritoDan> Ok debian_noob.
[15:07] <soreau> Advocated: Does it make a difference if you try the same encryption type of one of the working APs on the non-working one?
[15:07] <cheshair> nine_pt, i see, very kind of you, thanks again
[15:07] <nine_pt> you are welcome :)
[15:07] <Advocated> soreau, shouldnt it just automatically pick the correct type?
[15:07] <soreau> Advocated: Well some wifi chips/drivers dont support WPA while WEP works for instance
[15:08] <Advocated> ahh, but say if the connection is wpa, and the client tries to connect using wep, it wont work will it?
[15:08] <debian_noob> doritoDan,  try anjuta too
[15:08] <soreau> nope
[15:08] <debian_noob> or Kdevelop if you use KDE
[15:10] <nine_pt> information on how to turn on the external monitor after boot ? Only works when plugged from start ... Any help ?
[15:10] <Tech-1> is it a laptop ?
[15:10] <soreau> nine_pt: try gnome-display-properties
[15:10] <Tech-1> try juspter at sourceforge, orks great
[15:11] <Tech-1> jupiter
[15:11] <nine_pt> soreau : the strange is that linux detects the monitor
[15:11] <conntrack> weee!
[15:11] <nine_pt> and I can change the option, even using the FN keys
[15:12] <nine_pt> but the monitor don't turn on, only if I plug it on startup
[15:12] <soreau> nine_pt: What graphics driver?
[15:13] <soreau> if you use nvidia, you are at the mercy of their crappy drivers
[15:13] <nine_pt> it worst, i think ... it's  a intel
[15:13] <debian_noob> intel drivers are not that bad
[15:13] <soreau> thats not necessarily worse
[15:13] <schnuffle> nine_pt: intel has good support
[15:14] <nine_pt> ok, so it's a typical problem btween chair and keyboard ?
[15:14] <soreau> nine_pt: Plug it in and check gnome-display-properties or the output of xrandr
[15:14] <debian_noob> nine_pt,  that would be you
[15:15] <nine_pt> i plugged the monitor
[15:15] <nine_pt> and linux detect and expanded the desktop size
[15:15] <nine_pt> but the monitor donn't show any image ....
[15:16] <nine_pt> debian_noob, I know ... so I came here to see if can get a second opinion :)
[15:16] <soreau> nine_pt: Can you pastebin the output of xrandr -q to paste.ubuntu.com while its plugged in?
[15:16] <nine_pt> give a seconds
[15:16] <debian_noob> just kidding ;)
[15:16] <whyameye> I'm confused how I would download this set of files: http://nuicode.svnrepository.com/svn/ccv15/. I know I have to use svn but svn says it doesn't recognize it as an svn repository.
[15:17] <notjoe> can anyone recommend a wysiwyg editor?
[15:17] <milamber> notjoe: for what?
[15:18] <debian_noob> yeah for what?
[15:18] <milamber> whyameye: you can use wget

[15:20] <milamber> whyameye: why do you say that?
[15:20] <milamber> whyameye: wget -r <path>
[15:21] <t1t4n> the best "editor" is the vim
[15:21] <Blackshirt> Emacs

[15:21] <pfifo> emacs

[15:23] <xangua> gedit¿
[15:24] <debian_noob> doritoDan,  gedit
[15:24] <doritoDan> Ubuntu's documentation is really bad. It's confusing.
[15:24] <milamber> doritoDan: there are several but the most new user friendly would be nano
[15:24] <debian_noob> or nano for cli
[15:24] <doritoDan> Is there a good guide on how to set up your repositories
[15:24] <schnuffle> doritoDan: Visual there's gedit, console there's vim
[15:24] <milamber> doritoDan: gedit for the gui though
[15:24] <doritoDan> if you want everything
[15:24] <doritoDan> like 100% of what's available
[15:24] <xangua> doritoDan: enable everything¿
[15:24] <doritoDan> Yes
[15:24] <kodoku> there my system just went down for using the wifi card
[15:24] <schnuffle> doritoDan: there're some 20000 packages available
[15:24] <milamber> !repositories
[15:25] <debian_noob> schnuffle,  propaply more
[15:25] <doritoDan> milamber: Again, these Ubuntu articles are really bad. I'm already reading a guide on how to edit your source.list
[15:25] <debian_noob> *probably
[15:25] <doritoDan> and it raises more questions than it answers.
[15:25] <doritoDan> I'm just wondering if there's an easy way to enable all of these repositories that are disabled by default
[15:25] <milamber> doritoDan: the docs can only get better if people know which part is confusing. if you are having trouble with a particular spot in a tutorial ask a question
[15:25] <debian_noob> disabled as in?
[15:25] <nine_pt> soreau : but if it's plugged from the start everything is ok
[15:26] <debian_noob> commented out?
[15:26] <xangua> doritoDan: yes, software center-edit-sources
[15:26] <doritoDan> milamber: Ok, right now my question is, what command am I supposed to use to edit my sources.list
[15:26] <schnuffle> doritoDan: There's an app under Settings/Repository to activate them
[15:26] <milamber> doritoDan: i would say just uncomment the lines, which means remove the # before the sources you want
[15:26] <doritoDan> ok schnuffle
[15:26] <doritoDan> How can I access this app
[15:26] <soreau> nine_pt: Guess its a bug then. You can possibly try #intel-gfx and/or file a bug report
[15:26] <nine_pt> soreau : I can reboot the pc and past the xrand -q output if you think i can be helpful
[15:26] <doritoDan> milamber: Yes, but the tutorial doesn't even tell me HOW to edit them
[15:26] <milamber> doritoDan: are you running a server or a gui?
[15:26] <debian_noob> doritoDan,  gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:26] <debian_noob> (as root)
[15:26] <doritoDan> Desktop
[15:26] <nine_pt> soreay, thanks I will try intel-gfx
[15:26] <doritoDan> thanks debian_noob
[15:26] <debian_noob> (or sudo)
[15:27] <Blackshirt> Doritodan,just use some editor
[15:27] <milamber> doritoDan: ok: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:27] <milamber> !gksu > debian_noob
[15:27] <debian_noob> milamber,  shouldnt it be gksudo?
[15:27] <schnuffle> doritoDan: I don't know the english words but it should be Menu/Settings/Software Repositories
[15:27] <doritoDan> i just did sudo
[15:27] <doritoDan> and it worked
[15:27] <doritoDan> so thanks
[15:27] <milamber> debian_noob: that should also work
[15:27] <doritoDan> Ok schnuffle thanks.
[15:27] <milamber> !gksu
[15:27] <debian_noob> im too damn used to su
[15:28] <milamber> debian_noob: it was a transition for me also
[15:28] <debian_noob> from?
[15:28] <schnuffle> doritoDan: Keep in mind when asking that a lot of poeple, me included, prefer to use the command line, because it's faster when you know how to use it
[15:28] <milamber> debian_noob: but *best practices* and all that
[15:29] <debian_noob> milamber,  sudo is really better
[15:29] <milamber> debian_noob: i started with redhat 9
[15:29] <doritoDan> schnuffle: I'm using commandline
[15:29] <doritoDan> in terminal
[15:29] <debian_noob> i started with debian
[15:29] <doritoDan> so it doesn't matter which responses I am getting.
[15:29] <doritoDan> Thanks though.
[15:29] <debian_noob> doritoDan,  works perfectly
[15:29] <debian_noob> gop on
[15:29] <debian_noob> *go on
[15:29] <doritoDan> Thanks.
[15:30] <schnuffle> doritoDan: okay then, just wanted to let you know. I realized that sometimes people get confused giving them shell commands
[15:30] <doritoDan> I don't understand
[15:30] <doritoDan> how to enable multiverse repositories
[15:30] <doritoDan> I can't find any repositories that are commented out
[15:30] <doritoDan> in the sources.list file
[15:30] <doritoDan> Why can't Ubuntu just be easy and straight forward for once
[15:30] <doritoDan> Argh.
[15:30] <milamber> debian_noob: no, it is not. you can bork things if you run gui apps with sudo, and telling new people that don't have the skills to fix them can be a problem
[15:30] <schnuffle> doritoDan: Sources.list keeps the core repos. Then there's /etc/apt/sources.list.de  for all the other repos
[15:30] <milamber> doritoDan: pastebin your sources.list
[15:31] <soreau> doritoDan: Look in software-properties-gtk
[15:31] <milamber> doritoDan: so we can see what exactly is going on
[15:31] <debian_noob> milamber, GUI wise not good
[15:31] <doritoDan> You need to give me more specific directions because I don't know how to do any of the things you are asking me to do.
[15:31] <xangua> doritoDan: just go to software center, edit, sources...as i said earlier
[15:31] <doritoDan> Inside Ubuntu.
[15:31] <xangua> it that so hard doritoDan ¿¿
[15:31] <doritoDan> Ok xangua.
[15:31] <debian_noob> !pastebin
[15:32] <debian_noob> doritoDan
[15:32] <doritoDan> I'm getting weird errors in the terminal when using gedit
[15:32] <jakr> I would like to know how to move the side bar because when i move the mouse to click back on firefox, the sidebar pops up
[15:32] <milamber> doritoDan: too many cooks in your kitchen for me. i would say stick to what one person is saying and if that doesn't work come back
[15:32] <BluesKaj> doritoDan, not all repos get into the sources.list , check your package manager repos to enable
[15:32] <debian_noob> doritoDan, use gksudo
[15:33] <debian_noob> Alt-F2 brings up run
[15:33] <debian_noob> type gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:33] <Blackshirt> Is there any option on installer not to format old partition if we want reinstall ubuntu?
[15:34] <xangua> Blackshirt: next time you can make a home partition
[15:34] <schnuffle> Blackshirt: If you use extended partition tool
 doritoDan: There's an app under Settings/Repository to activate them
[15:34] <doritoDan> There's no "Repository" category under settings
 doritoDan: just go to software center, edit, sources...as i said earlier
[15:35] <doritoDan> Edit them how?
[15:35] <xangua> doritoDan: the Edit menu ¬¬
[15:35] <doritoDan> I'm already there
[15:35] <doritoDan> but i don't know what i'm supposed to do
[15:35] <debian_noob> Administration->Software Sources
[15:35] <xangua> doritoDan: edit-sources
[15:36] <doritoDan> Yes, I'm already looking at my list of sources.
[15:36] <doritoDan> What am I supposed to do?
[15:36] <doritoDan> I'm in Software Center -> Software Sources -> Other software
[15:36] <theos> hi. i have a usb webcam. it is detected as "ID 0ac8:3340 Z-Star Microelectronics Corp.". the problem is that i cant get it to work. cheese shows a black screen. i am using ubuntu lucid. please help.
[15:37] <Blackshirt> Xangua.what you mean?
[15:37] <xangua> i mean what Blackshirt ¿
[15:38] <schnuffle> doritoDan: You can activate the repos available or if you want to add a special repo you can add it there. So want do you want to do?
[15:38] <doritoDan> I don't know the URL to the repos I need to add
[15:38] <Blackshirt> About make home partition xangua
[15:38] <doritoDan> I want all the commonly used ones
[15:38] <doritoDan> and apparently i need the multiverse one
[15:38] <Tech-1> he just wants all what ubuntu has to offer
[15:39] <schnuffle> doritoDan: Its on the firat panel, just check all repos and the you have uni/,ultiverse
[15:39] <xangua> Blackshirt: if you want to reinstall without deleting your files
[15:39] <doritoDan> Ok
[15:39] <Tech-1> doritoDan:  do,you want flash/java/media codecs ?
[15:39] <Blackshirt> Schnuffle extended partition tool?
[15:39] <doritoDan> They're already checked
[15:39] <doritoDan> Tech-1: Yeah
[15:39] <woozly> guys, I have installed Windows (Lol, i know, but I need it)... and my Ubuntu loader replaces with windows's
[15:39] <doritoDan> But that's not why I'm here
[15:39] <woozly> how to recover grub ?
[15:39] <Tech-1> doritoDan:  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[15:39] <xangua> !grub2 | woozly
[15:39] <doritoDan> Thanks
[15:40] <schnuffle> Blackshirt: during install you can chosse to use it
[15:40] <Blackshirt> Xangua,is it possible?
[15:40] <woozly> thanksQ
[15:40] <Tech-1> doritoDan:  close software center first
[15:41] <schnuffle> Blackshirt:  That gives you the choice to manually adjust your partitions. Of course as xangua stated you can keep your home dir only if you have created a seperate partition
[15:41] <theos> people please help?
[15:41] <MonkeyDust> !help| theos
[15:41] <Blackshirt> Schnuffle.. Was old data on that partition would not touch by installer?
[15:41] <Tech-1> doritoDan:  when your done..reboot
[15:41] <nine_pt> !patience
[15:42] <doritoDan> Tech-1: Okay, thanks.
[15:42] <Tech-1> 10-4
[15:42] <Blackshirt> Schnuffle. Just for home partition?
[15:42] <schnuffle> Blackshirt: Depends on your partition setup. If you only have one partition for the whole system, it will wipe it
[15:42] <doritoDan> http://www.pastebin.com/eAqFqGM8
[15:42] <doritoDan> Why is htis happening?
[15:42] <doritoDan> I just installed Ubuntu
[15:42] <debian_noob> Tech-1,  why reboot?
[15:42] <FloodBot1> doritoDan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:42] <doritoDan> and it's already flipping out on me?
[15:43] <theos> ok thanks. my webcam isnt working. i will just post on the forums
[15:43] <ubuntunoob> ||
[15:44] <xangua> doritoDan: why did you use sudo with a graphical interface when you were told several times not to¿
[15:44] <Tech-1> doritoDan:  you didnt have a space between gedit and /etc
[15:44] <xangua> !doesntwork | theos
[15:45] <tgambit65> soreau
[15:45] <tgambit65> Thanks for your help. Using that link I downloaded the newest driver and was able to get it installed and actually connected to the AP. However, when I rebooted the USB card did not power on automatically so it appears I have to reinstall the driver all over again to make it work. Any idea how to solve that?
[15:45] <theos> re: hi. i have a usb webcam. it is detected as "ID 0ac8:3340 Z-Star Microelectronics Corp.". the problem is that i cant get it to work. cheese shows a black screen. i am using ubuntu lucid. please help.
[15:46] <theos> i thought it would be impolite to repeat my question :D
[15:46] <Tech-1> !webcam
[15:46] <doritoDan> xangua: Why does it matter
[15:46] <doritoDan> Tech-1: How does that matter?
[15:46] <asm-home> can anyone help me install open office on 11.10 ? ive downloaded and extracted the package - it says it fails to install because of a missing java runtime environment
[15:46] <doritoDan> It did open the file in text editor
[15:47] <asm-home> or something like that
[15:47] <doritoDan> but it also gave me the errors
[15:47] <xangua> asm-home: libreoffice already comes installed in ubuntu
[15:47] <schnuffle> asm-home: why not use the provided packages?
[15:47] <xangua> !gksu | doritoDan
[15:47] <doritoDan> did i ruin something when i used sudo?
[15:47] <schnuffle> doritoDan: No
[15:47] <asm-home> im just running the setup file
[15:47] <asm-home> im not in terminal
[15:48] <schnuffle> asm-home: just open software center search formlibreoffice and install it. Plain simple
[15:48] <debian_noob> asm-home, install a JRE
[15:49] <tgambit65> Installed a new driver downloaded from the realtek support site for a USB wireless card. On reboot the card does not power on unless I actually reinstall the drivers again. Anyone have an idea on how to fix that?
[15:50] <doritoDan> Why did it even allow me to use sudo if it doesn't work properly?
[15:50] <schnuffle> tgambit65: you nedd to make sure that the driver is loaded.
[15:51]  * Tech-1 lunch
[15:51] <debian_noob> doritoDan, sudo works but is not recommended
[15:51] <doritoDan> Why not
[15:51] <doritoDan> Why is it giving me errors
[15:51] <schnuffle> doritoDan: because there are people that know how to use it
[15:51] <tgambit65> schuffle I am a newbie on linux I am assuming you mean like I would with the startup in windows. How would I do that?
[15:51] <doritoDan> But why is it giving me errors X_X
[15:51] <sunil_> hi
[15:51] <sunil_> how r u
[15:52] <xangua> doritoDan: don't use it then!
[15:52] <doritoDan> But why does it even exist
[15:52] <doritoDan> if it's giving me errors
[15:53] <debian_noob> sudo exists for applications which dont use the GUI
[15:53] <debian_noob> !sudo | doritoDan
[15:53] <schnuffle> tgambit65: when you installed the module add the module name to /etc/modules.conf
[15:53] <doritoDan> I don't understand why it allows me to use graphical apps then
[15:53] <doritoDan> if it's for commandline apps
[15:53] <doritoDan> But
[15:53] <doritoDan> Thanks for explaining.
[15:53] <FloodBot1> doritoDan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:54] <schnuffle> doritoDan: Because it knows about processes not about graphival or not. Another example, why am I able to format a USB drive in the Windows Explorer even there's data on it?
[15:55] <doritoDan> Okay.
[15:55] <johnnyzero> I have new information about my mic problem. The mic will record through Audacity and will even record through arecord however, its not working throughout the system.
[15:55] <doritoDan> THanks.
[15:55] <doritoDan> Thanks*
[15:55] <johnnyzero> Though its not as bad as I thought as Alsa does see it
[15:55] <tgambit65> !schnuffle I used an provided script to install the drivers. I am looking in the docs for the resolution but, don't see it. So not sure even of the name of the module.
[15:56] <fyrho> I would like to recompile exim4 using exactly the same settings that were used to make the pre-built package available using apt-get. Can some please tell me where to get that makefile?
[15:56] <doritoDan> Anybody know if there's a way to easily obtain and install VMware Tools from within Ubuntu? Because all I can find on the subject are really cryptic docs.
[15:56] <johnnyzero> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/886449?comments=all
[15:56] <schnuffle> tgambit65: okay but after using the script, there should be new module loaded. Check with lsmod before and after installation, the difference will tell you the module name
[15:57] <tgambit65> ! schnuffle where would I find the file to edit in the root dir?
[15:57] <jakr_> how can i exit gnu bash shell to return to desktop?
[15:57] <schnuffle> doritoDan: ESXi, Vmware Server or Player?
[15:57] <doritoDan> VMware Fusion
[15:57] <doritoDan> for OSX
[15:57] <debian_noob> doritoDan, try kvm
[15:57] <doritoDan> kvm?
[15:57] <BluesKaj> jakr_, ctl+alt+F7 or F8
[15:57] <debian_noob> you want a virtual machine right?
[15:58] <johnnyzero> If I create .asoundrc in my home directory will alsa see the properties of it?
[15:58] <schnuffle> doritoDan: Normally there's an option to install the Tools. This mounts an ISO image with the driver. Then you can mount it and install it.
[15:58] <tgambit65> schnuffle: good idea thanks.
[15:58] <doritoDan> I don't know where to get this ISO
[15:58] <doritoDan> I'm really confused. I've been googling for half an hour now
[15:58] <BluesKaj> johnnyzero, asoundrc is part of alsa conf
[15:59] <BluesKaj> or links to it rather
[15:59] <johnnyzero> Ahh BluesKaj the issue is that Alsa won't capture sound using hw but it will capture sound using plughw.
[15:59] <schnuffle> doritoDan: The ISO is part of Vmware. Isn't there any option in Fusion that says "install Tolls"?
[15:59] <johnnyzero> This is why I think the DE is not seeing the USB Microphone
[16:00] <doritoDan> No. VMware is such a horrible company. They use indians to provide support, has buggy session handling on their website (and logging in is required to obtain any docs, info or downloads at all) and their documentations are incredibly vague and cryptic with basically no links provided
[16:00] <gardenfox> when you install a operating system does it just install on the harddrive or does it install on the computer itself like firmware?
[16:00] <doritoDan> I can't expect to get any help from them whatsoever.
[16:00] <johnnyzero> I mean obviously if Audacity is recording and you can record in alsa VIA the terminal, then alsa does recognize it. Its just skype and pavucontrol which does not see the mic.
[16:01] <doritoDan> I don't know where to turn to easily be able to install VMware Tools onto Ubuntu
[16:01] <jpmh> on 10.4 I could set the key-bindings so I had control of what happened when people pressed key-combinations - how do I do this with 11.10?
[16:01] <schnuffle> doritoDan: Give me a minute but there're tons of docs
[16:01] <doritoDan> There's tons of docs, yes, but they're bad.
[16:01] <doritoDan> And thanks.
[16:02] <schnuffle> doritoDan: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware-tools-installation-configuration.pdf
[16:02] <debian_noob> gardenfox, on the hard drive
[16:02] <jpmh> gardenfox: just on the harddrive
[16:02] <gardenfox> ok. thanks
[16:02] <delinquentme> heyy does unbuntu have a view in which I can see a file hierarchy?
[16:02] <so> mantzos
[16:02] <BluesKaj> johnnyzero, check your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and make sure your usb mic-audio is set to a positve value like 1 instead of -2 or some such
[16:03] <debian_noob> delinquentme, tree
[16:03] <johnnyzero> BluesKaj, ok
[16:03] <schnuffle> doritoDan: Page 12 explains the ISO thing
[16:03] <delinquentme> debian_noob, I have "list" "icon" and "compact"
[16:03] <debian_noob> delinquentme, uhh sorry
[16:03] <debian_noob> what do you exactly want?
[16:03] <delinquentme> debian_noob, what version ubuntu are you talking about?
[16:03] <BluesKaj> johnnyzero, options snd-usb-audio index=1 , is worth a try
[16:04] <debian_noob> delinquentme, ignore it
[16:04] <debian_noob> i thought about something else
[16:04] <doritoDan> schnuffle: Thanks.
[16:04] <doritoDan> Right now i'm trying to figure out how to open PDF
[16:04] <doritoDan> adobe acrobat pro expired and won't allow me to even read pdf
[16:04] <doritoDan> s
[16:04] <doritoDan> why are every company ever so horrible
[16:05] <debian_noob> doritoDan,  should open with the default pdf reader
[16:05] <doritoDan> is*
[16:05] <doritoDan> ya i know
[16:05] <schnuffle> doritoDan: If you think that maybe the problem is the other side :)
[16:05] <debian_noob> delinquentme,  try tree <directory>
[16:05] <debian_noob> youll understand what i meant
[16:06] <doritoDan> schnuffle: I think companies are mostly horrible at usability and require users to bend to their shitty workflows and processes.
[16:06] <doritoDan> It's really annoying having to deal with crap like this which should essentially be incredibly easy.
[16:06] <doritoDan> But oh well. I digress.
[16:07] <tgambit65> schnuffle: Ok for the name of the module thanks. Can you tell me the location and name of the file I need to edit? And just use a text editor to do it?
[16:08] <schnuffle> tgambit65: should be /etc/modules.conf
[16:08] <delinquentme> is there a way to get the size of a package from the repos?
[16:08] <delinquentme> for example i dont have this application called "tree" and i'd like to use it so long as its not more than a particular size
[16:08] <tgambit65> schnuffle: Ok thanks will take a look
[16:08] <johnnyzero> BluesKaj, I set the value to one and rebooted. Unfortunately, pavucontrol still doesn't see the device as an input device.
[16:09] <debian_noob> delinquentme, some KB
[16:09] <kodoku> I have a broadcom bcm4313 with the prop. drivers that hangs my system. ive already asked on the forums and no answer.
[16:09] <schnuffle> doritoDan: the term easy depends on the knowledge of the person involved. I'm with you that in modern times customer satifaction isn't the top prio anymore but shareholder value. But complsining doesn't help only knowledge :)
[16:09] <BluesKaj> johnnyzero, damn pulseaudio , what a pita ...I haven't got much experience with pulseaudio , altho I
[16:10] <BluesKaj> m forced to use it for webaudio content
[16:10] <johnnyzero> Yes BluesKaj I really think it is pulseaudio even though the pulseaudio people blamed alsa.
[16:10] <johnnyzero> If it was alsa, then arecord wouldn't work at all. Also, alsamixer wouldn't see the device.
[16:11] <doritoDan> schnuffle: Complaining and whining raises awareness of the way companies refuse to update themselves on the value of usability.
[16:11] <BluesKaj> yeah, johnnyzero have you tried living without pulseaudio ?
[16:11] <doritoDan> IMHO.
[16:11] <cousin_luigi> Hello.
[16:11] <johnnyzero> Hmm BluesKaj can you use skype and other programs without it?
[16:11] <johnnyzero> Hey cousin_luigi
[16:11] <cousin_luigi> Is there a way to see a notification for new messages in thunderbird?
[16:11] <schnuffle> doritoDan: Do you see any  company representative in here?
[16:11] <cousin_luigi> I mean, on the dash?
[16:12] <conntrack> hmm
[16:12] <johnnyzero> Well I suppose its worth a try. Maybe there is even a way to set skype up to bypass pulseaudio.
[16:13] <xangua> there could be an addon cousin_luigi
[16:13] <johnnyzero> Because I def think thats what the issue is. Its not alsa.
[16:13] <kernix> hi all
[16:13] <BluesKaj> johnnyzero, I used skype static version without pulseaudio , but since I'm on 12.04 now skype isn't working yet, but that's not really a loss for me.
