[05:53] <Dr_Willis> Himura:  other then installing ssh server? not that ive ever had to do]
[05:53] <Viking667> heh. thank you.
[05:53] <weebl-_> My friend is trying to install ubuntu and has a blinking underscore has anyone ever heard of this?
[05:54] <weebl-_> I've installed ubuntu on about 30 machines and never had this issue
[05:54] <Dr_Willis> !nomodeset | weebl-_
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> weebl-_: what video chip does the system use
[05:55] <weebl-_> nvidia
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> weebl-_: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1
[05:58] <gartral> hello all
[05:58]  * Dr_Willis wonders what would happen if you do 'nomodeset nouveau.blacklist=1'   ;)
[05:58] <weebl-_> where?
[05:58] <weebl-_> its installing from a cd
[05:58] <Dr_Willis> weebl-_:  the menus ont  he cd early in bootup has the feature. that nomodset guide has screenshots of doing it
[05:59] <Dr_Willis> you see a little man=keyboard image. you hit sshift, space, esc, or somthing.. ;) and it getes to an options page
[05:59] <gartral> can I get some help the lowlatency kernel and IDJC? I keep getting xruns every minute of so..
[06:01] <poddmotux> ubuntu 12.04 : installing as xen dom0 host hangs on reboot. Hypervisor boots then dom0 kernel complains that sysfs in unavailable. Any ideas?
[06:02] <CrazyGangster> hello ppl, any1 have the gnome-magnifier installed? I need to known the command to run the app...
[06:02] <Dr_Willis> compiz has a zoom  feature  ;)
[06:03] <Dr_Willis> CrazyGangster:  use synaptic to see what files the package installed. it should show what binaries it installed
[06:06] <CrazyGangster> Dr_Willis: i think the binary is in /usr/bin/magnifier but when i execute on the terminal i get a bunch of "we should clip at -196, -101"
[06:08] <rawfodog> I'm trying to batch convert some pictures with imagemagick but am getting this error ... "no decode delegate for this image format" for my jpegs. What do I do ?
[06:16] <poddmotux> does apparmor place nicely with xen dom0?
[06:17] <freedomrun_> help, can`t report bugs anymore! reinstalling apport doesn`t help, does anyone knows how to reactivate this functionality??
[06:19] <bobweaver> freedomrun purge then reinstall ubuntu-bug ?
[06:31] <CrazyGangster> hello ppl, any1 have the gnome-magnifier installed? I need to known the command to run the app...
[06:32] <Viking667> gnome-mag
[06:33] <Viking667> ... install that package. Not sure if the binary name matches the package name.
[06:36] <glitsj16> Viking667: regarding the audio-recorder package ... just wondering if you tried it and if so, what are your experiences? I'm preparing a review and all feedback is welcome, so feel free to pm me
[06:37] <Viking667> heh. I haven't even managed to try it out yet, give me a chance. I've been hammering keys non-stop since I got here.
[06:38] <glitsj16> Viking667: no problem :) i hang out here often enough
[06:38] <Viking667> lol. good to know. I pop in when I want a question answered. But I rarely get it answered, and end up answering about nineteen other things in the interim
[06:38] <glitsj16> heh, that's bound to happen yes
[06:39] <lizzin> can apt-get be used to install old versions of apps?
[06:39] <lizzin> ...need to rollback to fix a few things
[06:40] <glitsj16> !pinning | lizzin
[06:41] <glitsj16> lizzin: synaptic makes things like that somewhat easier if you're familiar with that
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> lizzin:  whats broken?
[06:42] <lizzin> Dr_Willis: sbt 0.11.3 scala 2.9.1 and lifty 1.7.5-snapshot don't seem to work together
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> dident you install some of those via .deb files earlier today?
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> !info sbt
[06:43] <lizzin> Dr_Willis: i installed the deb file in order to add the repository
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> so they came from some ppa?
[06:44] <lizzin> Dr_Willis: ppa?
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> !ppa
[06:44] <lizzin> oh right
[06:45] <lizzin> yes, it came from teh typesafe debian repository
[06:45] <lizzin> the
[06:45] <lizzin> ubottu: thanks
[06:45] <Dr_Willis> debian?  what is the exact repository they came from?
[06:45] <lizzin> glitsj16: ha, thanks
[06:45] <lizzin> http://search.maven.org
[06:45] <lizzin> err
[06:45] <lizzin> http://apt.typesafe.com/
[06:46] <lizzin> Dr_Willis:
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> if they were made for debian.. thats not quite the same as for ubuntu. You may want to see if thers an actual Ubuntu PPA for the tools.
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> adding debian repos to a ubuntu system. can  break things
[06:46] <lizzin> i don't think thats the issue
[06:47] <lizzin> i checked my osx system and it's showing the same issue now
[06:48] <lizzin> Dr_Willis: http://hpaste.org/69876
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> bbl. got a job to do..
[06:48] <lizzin> ok
[06:48] <lizzin> pretty sure it is simply a version issue
[06:53] <taylor_> Is anyone using gnome classic?
[06:53] <taylor_> how can i customize the panel at the bottom
[06:53] <rawfodog> im trying to batch convert some images in ubuntu, I get this error 'no decode delegate for this image format'. I think I need to install some restrictted jpeg stuff, does anyone know how to fix this issue ?
[06:53] <Viking667> you hold down the Alt key, and right-click on the panel
[06:53] <taylor_> Viking667: yes .. nothing happens
[06:53] <Viking667> Choose Properties.
[06:54] <Viking667> weird. You do Alt-Rightclick?
[06:54] <taylor_> yes..
[06:54] <taylor_> if i alt click i can drag the panel around
[06:54] <Viking667> not alt-leftclick.
[06:54] <Viking667> Alt-RIGHTclick
[06:54] <taylor_> right ... if i do alt right click nothing happens
[06:54] <taylor_> is it compiz?
[06:54] <Viking667> hm. could be.
[06:55] <Viking667> $ ps ax | grep metacity
[06:55] <Viking667> err, scratch that
[06:55] <taylor_> im using compiz  i know...
[06:55] <rex> hey i need some help partitioning my disk for ubuntu/windows boot with a second partition for /home can someone help me
[06:55] <Viking667> ah, right. Tried right-click on the panel?
[06:55] <Viking667> (without the alt key)
[06:55] <taylor_> yes.. nothing happens
[06:55] <Viking667> ANd Control?
[06:55] <taylor_> still nothing...
[06:55] <Viking667> i.e. Control-leftclick,  Control-rightclick,
[06:56] <Viking667> what about Middle-click?
[06:56] <taylor_> i actually have a middle click button .. i tried it .. nothing happens
[06:56] <Viking667> You can get to some aspects of panel configuring if you've got gconf-editor installed, but that doesn't work for everything.
[06:56] <taylor_> im starting not to like gnome classic...
[06:57] <taylor_> it hides alot of my notification icons too
[06:57] <Viking667> heh. I couldn't get to like Unity, much as I would have liked.
[06:57] <taylor_> i might switch to linux mint see what they've got going on
[06:58] <taylor_> GOT IT!! its super + alt + right click
[06:58] <taylor_> that was an ordeal
[06:59] <Viking667> wow. What's "super"? Windows?
[06:59] <taylor_> yes
[06:59] <Viking667> heh. Figures. Gotta kick ol compiz in the fork to get what you want.
[06:59] <Viking667> I don't use compiz here, I use metacity
[06:59] <C-S-B> Ironic, seeing how un-super windows is.
[06:59] <taylor_> guess so..
[06:59] <taylor_> thats what they always call it
[07:00] <snyp1> How can I install the haskell package on ubuntu? can anyone help me, i am a newbie?
[07:00] <Jordan_U> Viking667: It's the key that's wearing a cape.
[07:00] <snyp1> http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/quantal/haskell-cabal-install this package specifically.
[07:01] <taylor_> is there a way i can add the system menu back
[07:04] <snyp1> http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/quantal/haskell-cabal-install  how do i install this in ubuntu?

[07:11] <fleakite> generally, intel has better drivers. nvidia is better than ati though.
[07:12] <fleakite> just google for your model number and read a few experiences before deciding

[07:28] <CrazyGangster> i have to switch to text mode ctrl+f
[07:28] <StarryNight> yea thats what i use to never tried it with java only with skype
[07:28] <CrazyGangster> *ctrl+f1
[07:28] <C-S-B> aquanova2000: I don't know of any fix for that, but you can whitelist apps so you can use your webcam using the flashplayer settings here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.html
[07:29] <CrazyGangster> glitsj16: i will check
[07:29] <StarryNight> u use cheeze for ofline video
[07:30] <aquanova2000> I know the whitelist from macromedia, but I dont want my users to go through this too, is it a bug in chrome or ubuntu
[07:30] <CrazyGangster> glitsj16: xkill dont work in text mode
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> aquanova2000:  for unclickable flash player settings. ive heard you can  have a flash video go fullscreen. then you can  use the settings
[07:31] <CrazyGangster> i have to kill the flash player process
[07:31] <C-S-B> aquanova2000: it's been there since I've known. I've never seen a fix, would love to have it fixed
[07:32] <Dr_Willis> i doubt if flash issues will ever getg fixed..since adobe dosent really care to fix them.
[07:32] <C-S-B> Dr_Willis: and tbf, we don't care about it.
[07:32] <C-S-B> shame website designers dont get the idea...
[07:32] <gogeta> Dr_Willis: and they droped flash linux
[07:32] <Dr_Willis> give it a year or so.. flash will vanish like real player has. ;)
[07:33] <Blue1> Dr_Willis: oh the smurfing problem in youtube?
[07:33] <StarryNight> u still use real player?
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> youtube color messed up = disable hardware accell in the flash settings. ;) or use html5 setting
[07:33]  * Blue1 applauds Dr_w
[07:33] <gogeta> Dr_Willis: real is back on mobile and quite good
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> StarryNight:  seen people ask about real player in here about once a month  - more during baseball seasaon. it seems that the MLB.com site still uses it.
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> gogeta:  they decided to not drop mobil flash?
[07:34] <Blue1> Dr_Willis: i went to a prior version.  http://pkill-9.com/de-smurfing-youtube-or-people-youtube-blue/
[07:34] <StarryNight> damn real player on linux?
[07:34] <StarryNight> never needed to use it
[07:34] <gogeta> Dr_Willis: they droped mobile flash to
[07:35] <Dr_Willis> Blue1:  i just download the flash vieos.. then watcch them ;)
[07:35] <Blue1> Dr_Willis: yup that works too.
[07:35] <aquanova2000> so whats the alternative to transmit your cam over your website besides flash?
[07:35] <gogeta> Dr_Willis: adobe kboes html5 is going to kill it.
[07:36] <Blue1> Dr_Willis: from what I hear tell, they will never fix it.   Their layout is frankly crazy.
[07:54] <C-S-B> '@' doesnt belong there.
[07:55] <Dr_Willis> C-S-B:  its not a layout issue. rest of the keys are all correct. just the ;: and tilda/backtick..  are goofy.
[07:55] <Dr_Willis> F kleys dont work at all either.
[07:55] <C-S-B> Dr_Willis: I'm sticking to my '@' comment.
[07:55] <Dr_Willis> so its Bluetooth -: android -: connectbot -: ssh      couldbe an issue in any of those layers
[07:56] <C-S-B> Dr_Willis: have you eliminated connectbot?
[07:56] <gogeta> Dr_Willis: check out hacker keybord for andorid it has all the keys
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> connectbot is the only ssh client i have
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> gogeta:  im using a real phyusical keyboard. :)
[07:56] <C-S-B> Dr_Willis: but it's not the only app you can type in...
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> made for android tablets
[07:57] <fidel> Dr_Willis: could you tell me the name of that keyboard for android? i guess its just a common bluetooth device?
[07:57] <Dr_Willis> no other apps take the F keys.  and ive not really needed the other keys when msging
[07:57] <Dr_Willis> fidel:  its a Motorola one. was $80 found it on sale for $13   bought 3 of them
[07:58] <DJones> Dr_Willis: Have you tried irssiconnectbot, i found that works better than ordinary connectbot for use with irssi (has ctrl-alt-d setup ready to use, things like that)
[07:59] <Dr_Willis>  i am using irssi connect bot. and connectbot.
[07:59] <Dr_Willis> both have same keyboard issue. which is also an issue in all he android apps i just tested. ;)
[08:00] <DJones> Dr_Willis: I'll have to test that tonight when I get home with my prime & the physical keyboard on it
[08:01] <StarryNight> anyone knows of a gaming linux not running wine?
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> there are native linux games.
[08:01] <fidel> StarryNight: there are tons of games
[08:01] <DJones> !games | StarryNight Have you looked at these?
[08:01] <the_legend> UTK 2004 doesnt require wine
[08:01] <fidel> StarryNight: the currently sold Humble Bundle is a nice example of a cheap games collection running on almost all platforms
[08:02] <Dr_Willis> Trine , ;)
[08:02] <StarryNight> yea i noticed that but i get a lot of questions from gamers about it and i have some windows equivalent games
[08:03] <Dr_Willis> if your primary goal is games.. stick to windows.. unless thers just specific games  you can get going on linux..
[08:03] <fidel> StarryNight: the question is always: does the game-designer/developer offer a linux version or not - in case he doenst offer one - wine or similar are / or might be your last options
[08:03] <Dr_Willis> that work well with wine, or native
[08:04] <fidel> StarryNight: apart from that - there will always be games you just cant run on linux without big extra-work & pretty specific setups
[08:04] <Dr_Willis> ive had to do major work on windows to get windows games going... in windows...
[08:04] <fidel> so - if you really consider yourself a full-time gamer -> go for a windows-partition
[08:04] <StarryNight> yea unless u r gamer who design games or work for company that design games there is NO excuse for ppl not to switch
[08:05] <StarryNight> fidel will not put up with windows atm i see some dumb ppl crashing it all the time because they get either a game which they had problem installing or downloaded a porno with virus no offense
[08:06] <glitsj16> why does ubuntu releases nothing beyond chromium-browser v18 anymore? even the PPA's don't seem to follow the release schedule...
[08:07] <fidel> StarryNight: so whats your actual question/problem?
[08:07] <fidel> glitsj16: ask ubuntu or better the chrome devs
[08:07] <StarryNight> i dont do chrome or chromium they crashed on my system when i tried to update last time i get nothing but gnome errors in kde!
[08:07] <fidel> or the ppa maintainer
[08:08] <fidel> or compile it yourself -....somehow i remember we discussed that already in the last 1-2 weeks ..havent we? ;)
[08:08] <Akiva> how can I get jack working for say, an mp3?
[08:08] <Dr_Willis> fidel:  yesteerday there was a guy ranting about it.
[08:08] <Akiva> do I need to uninstall pulse?
[08:08] <glitsj16> fidel: fair enough, it's not my first choice browser, just wondering
[08:08] <fidel> Dr_Willis: pretty sure it was some weeks ago aswell ;)
[08:08] <taylor_> can someone help me... the battery icon isnt showing up in my notification area anymore
[08:09] <Dr_Willis> FF just got updated last week.. theres only so many  man hours  out there. ;)
[08:09] <Naero> Open up your icon tray and click on the "Customize" button.
[08:09] <Dr_Willis> plus if they are porting the bug fixs back to the older versions, you may not see any big version # jumps
[08:09] <eli_> hello how can i upgrade virtualbox in ubuntu 12.04
[08:09] <Naero> Then you can customize your notification area to choose which icons should be visible on the task bar near the clock.
[08:09] <taylor_> Naero: how..
[08:10] <Naero> There should be an arrow pointing up next to the clock, which will open up the tray.
[08:10] <taylor_> im using gnome classic...
[08:10] <Dr_Willis> eli_:  use the version in the repos../ or get it from the vbox homepage
[08:10] <eli_> Dr_Willis: do i need to desintall the old one
[08:11] <Dr_Willis> eli_:  may be best to do that - if youare  getting it from their homepage
[08:11] <eli_> okthanks
[08:11] <Dr_Willis> i only use the one from the repos normally
[08:12] <eli_> Dr_Willis: is that better to use only what is repos is? or it doesn't matter to compile some time
[08:12] <Dr_Willis> i dontknow of any  new features in vbox that i need to update it..
[08:12] <Dr_Willis> so the repo version works for me
[08:12] <Dr_Willis> less hassle
[08:13] <eli_> no i mean generally, other packages
[08:13] <Dr_Willis> i use whats in the repos most of the time
[08:13] <eli_> ok thanks :)
[08:14] <Dr_Willis> i rarely if ever compile.
[08:14] <Erebus_> How do you get the terminal to not show the entire directory tree when cding around? Like I really want to see is the current directory.
[08:14] <Dr_Willis> Erebus_:  you mean in your prompt?
[08:14] <C-S-B> Erebus_: where?
[08:14] <Dr_Willis> check out the bash prompt howto. if you want  to change that
[08:15] <Erebus_> Alright, thanks
[08:15] <loneclock> hi, i just installed ubuntu on this computer for the first time, what are the first couple of things i should do? i would like to take the timer of the boot menu and remove some of the default installed programs
[08:15] <Dr_Willis> export PS1='something '  but i forget what the code is for just the root of the cwd.
[08:15] <taylor_> loneclock: you should try to install burg
[08:16] <taylor_> and burg-manager
[08:16] <loneclock> taylor_, what is burg?
[08:16] <Dr_Willis> err... dont fight with burg.. :)
[08:16] <taylor_> the brand new unified loader from grub
[08:16] <op_> Anyone can tell me why Im getting lesser internet speed readings on Firefox 13 than on my Google Chrome 19? 1 MBit difference
[08:17] <taylor_> its like a graphical version of grub .. its pretty cool
[08:17] <Dr_Willis> loneclock:  update and upgrade to  be sure everything is up to date. then figur eout wht you want to do next. ;)
[08:18] <loneclock> Dr_Willis, what is the command to do that?
[08:18] <taylor_> sudo apt-get upgrade
[08:18] <Dr_Willis> loneclock:  use the gui package manager/update tool.. or  sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade
[08:19] <loneclock> what is the key to open a terminal?
[08:19] <Us3r_Unfriendly> alt and T
[08:19] <Dr_Willis> i always put an icon on the panel for the terminal. ;)
[08:19] <Us3r_Unfriendly> ...well back in the old days
[08:19] <Dr_Willis> of cours ei always have  one open also...
[08:19] <taylor_> is there a binary somewhere for indicator-power so i can start it and get the icon in my panel.
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> press and hold the SUPEr key to see  some unity shortcuts also
[08:20] <loneclock> alt t didnt work, i already have one open for xchat but how can i open another one?
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> loneclock:  if a terminal icon is in the panel, middle click on it
[08:22] <loneclock> how do i remove all these programs i dont want like libreoffice
[08:22] <Dr_Willis> loneclock:  use the package manager tools.. notice the 'software center' icon?
[08:22] <Dr_Willis> or install/uuse synaptic for a  simpiler gui
[08:23] <Us3r_Unfriendly> loneclock: sudo apt-get purge "libreoffice"
[08:23] <loneclock> Dr_Willis, i like to learn the commands :)
[08:23] <loneclock> Us3r_Unfriendly, ty
[08:23] <Dr_Willis> !apt | loneclock start reading then
[08:24] <Us3r_Unfriendly> su -c 'apt-get purge libreoffice' root                    for non-exsitant sudo users
[08:24] <Dr_Willis> Us3r_Unfriendly:  dont use su. use 'sudo' for rooty tasks
[08:27] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Us3r_Unfriendly = not a beginner.  but thanks.  agreed on new users using sudo though...but for someone wanting to know how to do something with cli...there's always another way around something, as I used in the second example.  Ubuntu doesn't use synaptic anymore right??
[08:27] <borislav> Hi
[08:27] <Us3r_Unfriendly> borislav: hi
[08:28] <wdp_> someone can suggest an easy-to-follow guide on how to create packages for ubuntu (i.e. .deb)
[08:31] <op_> Will this boot loader ( http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-install-burg-in-ubuntu/ ) Work in Lubuntu 12.04?
[08:31] <kroonrs> I just upgraded from 10.04 (kubuntu netbook edition) to 12.04.  The upgrade said "too many errors" were reported, but the upgrade was completed.  However, now my machine no longer shows eth0, wlan0 or my network manager...  How can I try to fix it? (no anwer on #kubuntu)
[08:31] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: you think maybe some op might one day hide connecting ip's that join channel.  A bit frightening I have always thought being in these irc channels
[08:31] <Us3r_Unfriendly> kroonrs: burg I believe to work in lubuntu
[08:32] <Pravi> how can i retreave my data from a drive which is unallocated
[08:32] <kroonrs> Us3r_Unfriendly: I don't understand?..
  How sure are you  :D ?
[08:33] <taylor_> im sure... i followed that guide exactly
[08:33] <taylor_> im using it now...
[08:33] <Pravi> sir i accedenttly deleted a drive of  9 mb which was there and my 2 drives were deleted
[08:33]  * Dr_Willis is back
[08:33] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Pravi: have you tried "Testdisk", should be in the repos.  not sure if it will work on a unallocated drive, but it's worked wonders for me
[08:33] <Pravi> thanks
[08:33] <Us3r_Unfriendly> op_: i don't understand
[08:34] <Pravi> bt i don`t know how 2 use it
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> how did you set the partitions to be unallocated?
   nvm Ill try to install it anyway. :)
[08:34] <Pravi> this 9 mb drive was swap area
[08:34] <taylor_> op_: are you installing burg?
[08:35]  * Dr_Willis does not reccmend using burg
[08:35] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Pravi: when you install "Testdisk", use the command "photorec", should recover a bunch of data
[08:35] <op_> taylor_  yes , on lubuntu 12.04
[08:35] <Dr_Willis> Pravi:  9mb or 9gb?
[08:35] <kroonrs> any suggestions for how I can get my machine to detect eth0?
[08:35] <Pravi> bt wen i installed xp it became a drive and now my 200gb drive is not visible on xp since it is unallocated
[08:36] <Pravi> it`s 9 m,b
[08:36] <taylor_> super boot manager makes it really easy to configure burg... nice gtk gui for everything
[08:36] <Dr_Willis> !info burg
[08:36] <op_> taylor_   will keep it in mind ,thanks
[08:36] <Pravi> it was like drive which was extended
[08:36] <Dr_Willis> so burg basically is not supported by this channel.. so if it makes yiur system unbootable.. well.. good luck
[08:36] <taylor_> you have to activate another ppa
[08:37] <op_> Dr_Willis then Grub rescue disk comes in handy :) or test disk :D
[08:38] <Pravi> how can i get my data back ?????/// many imp study materials!!!!!!
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> never really need either of those.
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> Pravi:  details as to exactly what you did - would be helpfull
[08:38] <taylor_> burg and grub are really similar configuration wise .. you shouldnt have any problems
[08:38]  * Dr_Willis has seen  many people in here with burg issues.. but then agaion.. you also see grub issues. ;)
[08:39] <Pravi> first wen itried to install ubuntu 12.04 it extended my c drive of 50 gb into 30 and 20 were 20 was taken by ubuntu
[08:39] <Dr_Willis> i dont see the point in boot time eyecandy i see once a month.. due to  30+ days uptime
[08:39] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: I gotta know what you call this when you use a cli app that kinda looks like msdos.  say for example when compiling a kernel...you'd use the command "make menuconfig" which brings you to a menu where it's not commandline, but more interactive.  Another example is cfdisk, or even htop.  would you consider these "command line" or something else.  what do you call them??
[08:39] <minas> Hi, when I used windows 7, I used to listen to online radio from firefox. In ubuntu this doesn't work. I think it's because firefox on win7 used windows media player to play the music... Is there a way to achieve it on ubuntu? Here's the radio station if someone wants to test it: http://www.e-radio.gr/player/player.asp?sid=191
[08:40] <Dr_Willis> Pravi:  it resized the 50gb into a 30 for windows. and a 20gb for linux you mean?:
[08:40] <Pravi> ya
[08:40] <Dr_Willis> Us3r_Unfriendly:  'ncurses interface'
[08:40] <Pravi> 20 was extende frm 50
[08:40] <op_> Dr_Willis I use Linux distros as my hobby bcs not one of them run as fast and responsive (or working correctly ) as my Windows 7 OS. So Im not concerned if I mess something up :D
[08:41] <taylor_> any linux almost runs alot faster than windows
[08:41] <Dr_Willis> Pravi:  extended means somthing else.. it resized the windows partitiosn and Made an 'extended' partition.  which  contains 2 logical partitions one for / and one for swap - normally
[08:41] <Pravi> ya
[08:42] <Pravi> bt i didn`t like it so i just formatted it so that i cud use wind 7
[08:42] <Us3r_Unfriendly> I think photorec does recover on a newly erased partition
[08:42] <Dr_Willis> Pravi:  formated what? be more exacting in your terms
[08:42] <xspider> minas: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
[08:43] <Pravi> c drive
[08:43] <Us3r_Unfriendly> /dev/sda3 ??
[08:43] <Us3r_Unfriendly> c://
[08:43] <Dr_Willis> Pravi:  you formated your windows c:  why?
[08:43] <Us3r_Unfriendly> well on mine it is
[08:43] <op_> taylor_  Depends... :D  my main issues are flash , video card drivers (Old ATi) and sluggish sound which work flawlessly on W7 without 2 hrs of googling :)
[08:44] <Pravi> bt wen i tried to...... install ,,,,the  extended  20 gb became a new drive for
[08:44] <op_> Thats why I said this is my "hobby"
[08:44] <K-Lab> hi all
[08:44] <Us3r_Unfriendly> K-Lab: hi
[08:44] <Dr_Willis> Pravi:  you seem to be skipping half the words that we need to be   seeing...
[08:44] <Pravi> i formatted it becoz my mom and dad  don`t know to use it
[08:44] <Us3r_Unfriendly> i wish i could hi 5 the guys that made "parted"
[08:44] <minas> xspider: thank you! I will try it in a bit because something else is being installed right now :)
[08:45] <Pravi> sry sir
[08:45] <Pravi> !!!!
[08:45] <taylor_> my grandmother uses xubuntu..
[08:46] <Us3r_Unfriendly> i'm new to all tablets...is it possible to take a android tablet and erase android completely off the drive and install say Ubuntu??
[08:46] <Us3r_Unfriendly> or would i be basically vnc'ing it?
[08:46] <op_> taylor_  my dad ubuntu 11.10 with LXDE  . :D
[08:47] <Dr_Willis> Us3r_Unfriendly:  ive heard its a work in  progress. and may be doable soon. ubuntu tablets are due out  sometime also.. there is a kde tablet thats like supposed to be out next month
[08:47] <Us3r_Unfriendly> my mom uses ubuntu 10.04
[08:47] <fidel> Us3r_Unfriendly: this might depend on what hardware you choose in the first place
[08:47] <taylor_> i think ubuntu with the one of the light weight desktop managers  is easier for old people even than windows
[08:47] <StarryNight> i seen kde tablet and it is more user friendly than a windows tablet
[08:47] <op_> Mostly bcs I dont need to worry about viruses... Noscript ,and UFW are doign their job :D
[08:48] <Pravi> now when i tried to install windows 7 i saw this 9 mb drive......... so what i did was i deleted that 9 mb drive and made it as unallocated but then as soon i deleted,,,,,,,,,,,,,,  my 200gb drive and 50gb c drive both became unallocated
[08:48] <Dr_Willis> you can install ubuntu in a vm now on many cellphones. and rooted tablets i imagine
[08:48] <op_> taylor_ yeah ,just put FF and maail on desktop and everything is fine :D
[08:48] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: fidel:  why is this an issue?  why are tablets so difficult.  That's why i haven't even bothered with them
[08:48] <fidel> Pravi: what is your native language?
[08:48] <Us3r_Unfriendly> op_: UFW ftw
[08:49] <Pravi> malayalam
[08:49] <pesci> hi
[08:49] <fidel> Us3r_Unfriendly: what means difficult? industry just doesnt care so far to run something else on them
[08:49] <loneclock> ok, i updated and upgraded, removed the programs i didnt really want....anything else vital i should do?
[08:49] <fidel> !in > Pravi
[08:49] <Dr_Willis> loneclock:  set a cool wallpaper
[08:49] <fidel> i hope i am guessing right with that language ;)
[08:50] <minas> xspider: It seems I have this package (gstreamer) in its latest version...
[08:50] <loneclock> i would like to import my gnucash stuff and my thunderbird stuff from windows partition if thats possible but i would first like to change the timer on grub
[08:51] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | loneclock
[08:51] <Us3r_Unfriendly> fidel: i mean as in android is something for the new generation to play with.  for me this means nothing.  I want my linux distro I choose to run on a common tablet of my choosing.
[08:51] <Dr_Willis> loneclock:  time out delay  is set in  /etc/default/grub  change it. run sudo update-grub :) other grub tweaks in the docs abovvbve
[08:52] <fidel> Us3r_Unfriendly: i get that i just dont get your problem ;). There are tablets already where ppl try or successfully run other os'es on them.
[08:52] <Dr_Willis> Im not sure how well unity, or most apps would run on a tablet.. the change from mouse-keybord to touch screen. can  cause all sorts of .. issues
[08:52] <Us3r_Unfriendly> fidel: without vnc'ing on top of android?
[08:52] <fidel> so check the available hardware - and then if you find an interesting model spend some minutes to check if someone was able to run your-distri on it
[08:53] <Dr_Willis> Us3r_Unfriendly:  theres Ubuntu-arm port yes..
[08:53] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: thanks Dr_Willis and fidel
[08:53] <Dr_Willis> Us3r_Unfriendly:  heard of a ubuntu phone that runs  both  comming  out.. sometime...
[08:54] <fidel> Us3r_Unfriendly: i think a pretty common model - running linux&kde might be the vivaldi-tablet
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> android/tablet/phones are evoloving at a very fast pace
[08:54] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: fidel: I'm looking forward to the ubuntu phone.  i'm tired of android and ios
[08:54] <_P3S_> where can I find a kernel stable fot i7 mobile edition...
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> amazon phone   in  the works alsoi hearr. :)
[08:55] <_P3S_> because the uficial kernel genric is affected by several freze
[08:55] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: amazon as in amazon.com ??
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> Us3r_Unfriendly:  yes
[08:55] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: weird
[08:55] <Us3r_Unfriendly> but cool
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> i want one of those e-ink displays as a monitor :_ for my spare monitor. heh
[08:55] <_P3S_> I can't  figure out  what this freze are caused by...
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> i dont need fancy colors for my  ircing 2nd mnitor.
[08:57] <sneakza> Hi
[08:57] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: eink...cool.  not like ebook readers where it's black on white.  your talking about with color
[08:57] <duoi> hey guys. im doing a sample exam for this final i have and one question has me stumped. it asked for 3 system directory calls. naturally i assumed opendir, closedir and readdir, which is fine. however the next question asks "why is the write directory system call not included in the above list?"
[08:57] <Us3r_Unfriendly> ?
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> Us3r_Unfriendly:  i dont need color. :)
[08:57] <duoi> i've tried looking online with no avail. can anyone help?
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> Us3r_Unfriendly:  id like to have a android phone with e-ink and a ;loooong battery life
[08:58] <sneakza> I'm using pressed  with an installation, it seems the whole install goes well until i try boot the new system, where i end up with a grub error which says out of disk, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1038693/ id my preseed config and the install log which says grub install successful… any ideas
[08:59] <t432> Where do add a .jar library so that app can find it?
[08:59] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: good luck with that.  I downgraded to my lg slider phone from my new iphone due to battery life.  I get 3 days on my lg slider, as I get a couple of hours with the iphone
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> sneakza:  erlier today some one mentioned how grub 'out of disk' means the boot files are to far 'back' on the hard drive like in the old lili 1023 cylinder limit. putting a /boot/ partition at the start of the drive might fix the issue
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> Us3r_Unfriendly:  my phone is 'on' full display here on irc.. for  like  4 hrs.. befor i have to change batteries. ;)
[09:01] <Dr_Willis> im ircing 90% of the time. so i dont neef lots of color. just battery
[09:01] <Bobbaanasdasd> asd
[09:01] <kroonrs> is lshw supposed to put all output on one line (overwriting itself repeatedly) and then just stop at "PCI (sysfs)", instead of terminating and giving a prompt back?
[09:01] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Dr_Willis: your using your phone for irc?  I tried that using my iphone and the screen was horrible to read everyone's questions
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> Us3r_Unfriendly:  i see the teext finbe.,
[09:02] <taylor_> my fingers got cramped typing with irc on my phone
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> its a bit laggy since im ssh'd to my linux box. :)
[09:02] <sneakza> Dr_Willis: i'll check that but I think /boot is my first partition /sda1
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> Full Sized Bluetoothe keybords.. are handy
[09:02] <Us3r_Unfriendly> taylor_: i second that...the keyboard was horrible trying to use irssi in iphone
[09:03] <Viking667> WHat's a good program to record audio and video from an application (minecraft, in this case). I'd like it to record both the microphone and the sound that the application makes, in addition to the 3D buffer.
[09:03] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Viking667: audacity
[09:03] <taylor_> audacity doesnt do video
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> !screencapture
[09:03] <Viking667> I've tried "Desktop recorder", and the video's all ... chocker squares, and the audio's only from the mic
[09:03] <taylor_> +1 to your question ... id like to know also
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> !info gtkrecordmydesktop
[09:04] <Dr_Willis> hmm. how its spelt..
[09:04] <loneclock> how do i make a window fullscreen (covering the sidebar) and how do i minimize it once i have made it full screen
[09:04] <Viking667> I found an app to do the audio, but I can't exactly string that together with video
[09:04] <Us3r_Unfriendly> taylor_: your right, i totally miss read that
[09:04] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Viking667: Dr_Willis is right
[09:04] <Viking667> gtk-recordmydesktop
[09:04] <Dr_Willis> loneclock:  you  need to set the 'launcher' to auto hide. then just doule clixk  the windows title bar
[09:04] <Dr_Willis> double click
[09:05] <Viking667> I think that's what I was trying.
[09:05] <taylor_> its 5:04 am here... ima go... ill see you guys later
[09:05] <Us3r_Unfriendly> later taylor_
[09:05] <tstacey> need some good cards
[09:05] <Viking667> Yup. That was.
[09:05] <Dr_Willis> getting   the screen capture apps to capture sound can be a pain.. getting both sound and mic.. may be trickier
[09:05] <Viking667> mmmm.
[09:06] <Dr_Willis> someone in here was asking about just that task yesterday
[09:06] <Dr_Willis> some forum posts where mentioned,. perhaps check the logs
[09:06] <Dr_Willis> !logs
[09:06] <Viking667> I'm trying to do the run all at once, so I don't have to add audio layers.
[09:07] <loneclock> Dr_Willis,  how do i set it to auto hide?
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> loneclock:  some of the unity tweak tools can do it. I normally set mine to never hide, '
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> which is the default now. :)
[09:08] <Dr_Willis> !info myunity
[09:08] <Dr_Willis> askubuntu.com should have several  answers on setting the panel hide settings also
[09:09] <Dr_Willis> we need a feature for the bot to show the top voted askubuntu.com hit for a query ;)
[09:09] <Akiva> I started the qjack server, and now my sound does not work
[09:10] <infs> hello ... what would be the easyest and failsafe way to remove old kernells from boot menu?
[09:10] <Dr_Willis> infs:  just use the package manager to uninstall them
[09:10] <SteeNk> hello all
[09:11] <Dr_Willis> dont uninstsll th one you are using. :) and keep at least one older one around
[09:12] <anos> hi dude what is this error for "timing out command, waited 180s"
[09:12] <infs> Dr_Willis: can I uninstall all that has 2.6.32-39(old) in package name?
[09:13] <Dr_Willis> infs:  i doubt if the package name has (old) in it...
[09:13] <Dr_Willis> use the synaptic package manager. and look at the version 3's
[09:13] <infs> no i mean that <41
[09:13] <Dr_Willis> #'s
[09:13] <infs> old<41
[09:13] <Dr_Willis> id keep the current and at least ONE older one.. just in caswe
[09:13] <infs> the last two numbers after -
[09:14] <infs> but every old backages can go?
[09:14] <Dr_Willis> i dont really find it an issue worth worrrying about... i rarely uninstall the kenrels
[09:14] <Nom-> Hey all, was curious if anyone can direct me to any info about the script(s) used to generate the official Ubuntu CD?
[09:14] <Dr_Willis> uninstall the oldest 2 or 3 if you want i ugess..  or whatever you feel safe with.
[09:15] <infs> well I'm having a very big list when I boot up ... I dont like it =)
[09:15] <ubuntu_> Hello can someone tell me how i get the resolution of my output screen via hdmi? is it Xrandr?
[09:15] <Dr_Willis> err.. i dont see a big list.. they are all in a sub menu in grub here....
[09:15] <ubuntu_> Hello can someone tell me how i get the resolution of my output screen via hdmi? is it Xrandr?
[09:15] <Dr_Willis> all under "Older kernels"
[09:16] <dizzylizzy> ubuntu_, "get"?
[09:16] <dizzylizzy> what do you mean by "get the resolution of..."
[09:16] <infs> well my easypeasy ubuntu has all from 21 to 41 in the boot menu
[09:17] <ubuntu_> dizzylizzy: I want to know my current resolution on the laptop and the tv to which it does a mirror output
[09:17] <ubuntu_> How to i find out the resolution via the cli?
[09:17] <Dr_Willis> no idea on easypeasy.. im using 12.04 clean install.. it puts them in a sub menu here
[09:17] <Dr_Willis> but removeing them.. and updateing grub.. should clean out the list
[09:18] <Viking667> sigh. Right, I so don't want to use Windows for this.
[09:18] <adamk> ubuntu_: Did you try xrandr? :-)  If so, you would have seen that it shows the current resolution.
[09:18] <Viking667> ... because that has its own issues
[09:18] <ubuntu_> adamk: yes but im not sure which is which
[09:19] <dizzylizzy> ubuntu_, how about xdpyinfo |grep 'dimensions'
[09:19] <dizzylizzy> or without the grep
[09:19] <Dr_Willis> Viking667:  seems it would be easier to record the game session, then add voice over later via  a video editing app. so you can  edit out stupid things you say. ;)
[09:19] <dizzylizzy> i recommend piping it through 'less'
[09:19] <adamk> ubuntu_: As the xrandr man page says: " If invoked without any option, it will dump the state of  the  outputs, showing  the existing modes for each of them, with a '+' after the pre-ferred mode and a '*' after the current mode."
[09:19] <ubuntu_> admthanks
[09:19] <Dr_Willis> Viking667:  as soon as you hit record.. the phone will ring. ;)
[09:21] <dizzylizzy> xrandr would definitely be more concise, yeah :P i suck
[09:21] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[09:22] <troulouliou_dev> hi is it normal that rpcinfo is not located in libc-bin on ubuntu 64 bits ?
[09:23] <fidel> !info > rpcinfo
[09:23] <troulouliou_dev> fidel ?
[09:23] <llutz> !find rpcinfo
[09:23] <fidel> troulouliou_dev: ignore that line ;)
[09:23] <troulouliou_dev> i mean the bin file is not in the package
[09:24] <troulouliou_dev> ubottu, should be in libc-bin
[09:24] <llutz> troulouliou_dev: "libc-bin" should be
[09:24] <troulouliou_dev> llutz, it isn't
[09:24] <troulouliou_dev> dpkg -L libc-bin -> no file
[09:24] <glitsj16> troulouliou_dev: i believe rpcinfo is in rpcbind on 64bit
[09:24] <troulouliou_dev> only the man page
[09:25] <troulouliou_dev> glitsj16, ok will try
[09:25] <troulouliou_dev> still weird
[09:25] <troulouliou_dev> man page still in libc-bin
[09:25] <Applesouce> Hello, I have a problem. I resized my Windows partition to 120GB and now have 80GB unallocated, but cant add it to my Ubutu partition
[09:25] <llutz> libc-bin should contain /usr/bin/rpcinfo, rpcbind contains /usr/sbin/rpcinfo...
[09:26] <troulouliou_dev> glitsj16, it is thanks
[09:26] <fep> i have an amd c-60 mini with 4mb ram, when i tried wubi to see how it would run on this, everything went very very slow. any ideas or tips to how i can make it run smooth? or is it any mini-lap version of it?
[09:26] <glitsj16> troulouliou_dev: np
[09:27] <llutz> troulouliou_dev: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/libc-bin/filelist   i'd check the installation
[09:27] <Applesouce> I have resized my Windows partitin with gparted, now I have 80GB unallocated space, but cant add it to mz ubuntu partition
[09:28] <troulouliou_dev> llutz, yes it is not in the list
[09:28] <troulouliou_dev> only the manpage /usr/share/man/man8/rpcinfo.8.gz
[09:29] <llutz> troulouliou_dev: seems to be in transition to something else
[09:29] <fidel> troulouliou_dev: same here
[09:29] <fidel> so its at least not only on your install ;)
[09:29] <llutz> changelog might tell more
[09:30] <troulouliou_dev> btw what is the offcial way to disable a service on boot un upstrat /etc/init/ ?
[09:30] <troulouliou_dev> i mean it is still echo manual >> /etc/init/portmapper ? for instance
[09:31] <fep> is a mini with amd c-60, 1.0ghz - 1,3ghz processor too slow to run ubuntu?
[09:31] <llutz> troulouliou_dev: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#disabling-a-job-from-automatically-starting
[09:31] <llutz> troulouliou_dev: seems still to be the prefered way
[09:32] <troulouliou_dev> llutz, thanks for all

[09:32] <fep> does anyone see what i write=?
[09:32] <Applesouce> help I cant resize mz extended partition
[09:33] <infs> ty DR.
[09:34] <Applesouce> Is there somebody that wants to help me with my partitioning problem :<
[09:34] <MonkeyDust> Applesouce  if you're sweet
[09:34] <eahr> hi, i installed the minimal ubuntu system and X on top of it. i tried changing the mouse cursor theme with update-alternatives, but no matter which theme i use, the "normal" cursor icon is always the black x icon (which is the default in X). any ideas how to apply the new theme to that too?
[09:35] <Applesouce> :)
[09:35] <ikonia> eahr update-alternatives to change a mouse theme ?
[09:35] <eahr> ikonia: update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme
[09:35] <Applesouce> Well I have decreased the size of my Windows partition, now I have 80GB unallocated space but cant add it to my extended partition
[09:36] <phantome> Applesource why not just mount it?
[09:36] <Applesouce> mount what
[09:36] <MonkeyDust> Applesouce  guess you have to create a partition inside the extended partition, you cannot move them
[09:36] <ikonia> eahr: I didn't know you could do that with a theme
[09:37] <zaggynl> Can anyone recommend me a Remote Desktop server alternative for Ubuntu?
[09:37] <Applesouce> I cant create more partitions
[09:37] <zaggynl> To take over the Ubuntu desktop that is.
[09:37] <eahr> ikonia: yeah, i don't have any desktop environment installed or anything, so i have to get it done from the command line
[09:38] <MonkeyDust> Applesouce  in a terminal, type sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit and paste the url in the channel, so we can see
[09:38] <Cebor> hi, i get an error while compiling powertop: http://pastebin.com/7wwhfqWT   can someone help me to solve this ??
[09:38] <phantome> Applesource: I imagine that you tried to merge the free space with your root partition
[09:38] <phantome> Applesource: and couldn't do it because it was mounted right?
[09:39] <phantome> (i mean the root pt)
[09:39] <glitsj16> eahr: dconf > org.gnome.desktop.interface > cursor-theme (n clue what cli syntax that should be)
[09:39] <Applesouce> No did I say that
[09:39] <ikonia> eahr: a very interesting approach
[09:40] <phantome> If you are going to do it (to add the free space to your root partition) you will ***NEED*** to do backup your root just in case and use a livecd with gparted installed
[09:40] <eahr> glitsj16: hmm.. sounds like something related to gnome, which i don't have?
[09:41] <Applesouce> http://pastebin.com/UAnyHWcK
[09:41] <phantome> Here http://bit.ly/Lx9FIa (on the ubuntu site) there is a short discussion, but I guess a little googling around will help alot. But, be carefull, backup your root in any case
[09:42] <phantome> Apple, a side question, how much ram do you have?
[09:42] <Applesouce> 8GB
[09:42] <MonkeyDust> Applesouce  is there a reason for the 3 NTFS partitions?
[09:42] <glitsj16> eahr: that's how i made my new cursor theme stick, i'm afraid i have no more clues on this
[09:42] <Applesouce> They are for Windows
[09:42] <MonkeyDust> Applesouce  all 3 of them, or can you delete one or two?
[09:42] <phantome> Then know that you don't need swap partition
[09:43] <phantome> you can delete it, merge the free space into that
[09:43] <phantome> and make it a partition and mount it
[09:43] <eahr> glitsj16: i see, i'll have to look into it. thanks
[09:43] <Applesouce> ehm not really because one is C and one is D and the other one is for System Resource
[09:43] <phantome> with 8gig ram you will NEVER use swap
[09:43] <phantome> ( well, if you reach the swap then you got serious problem :DDD )
[09:43] <Applesouce> Well it was made by Ubuntu so I just kept it, Im now having a different problem
[09:44] <phantome> you can remove it. Your partitioning problem will be solved by removing the useless swap. You will be able to create a partition, and also merge all freespace there
[09:45] <phantome> just saying...
[09:45] <Applesouce> no it didnt help
[09:45] <glitsj16> eahr: have you tried adding the theme to /usr/share/icons, and to get X11 support, change /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme
[09:45] <glitsj16> to point to the new theme (Inherits=<theme dir name>)? that's how it used to work before ubuntu precise
[09:45] <MonkeyDust> Applesouce  what /dev is (or was) the unallocated space?
[09:45] <Applesouce> it was a part of the C drive
[09:46] <Applesouce> ehm &dev&sda2
[09:46] <phantome> Oh, it was on different drive? Anyway, it was useless :D
[09:46] <Applesouce>  This is all on the same harddrive
[09:48] <eahr> glitsj16: i got the themes from the ubuntu repositories (for examples dmz-cursor-theme), and it seems that's where they have been installed. index.theme also points to the correct theme
[09:48] <phantome> It doesn't make any sense though, if you deleted a partition then you must be able to create a new in it's place. Anyway I'll check the net
[09:48] <Applesouce> it was under a extended partition so no it didnt count
[09:49] <Viking667> mrm. I'm not exactly finding a videorecording app I can even use, yet.
[09:49] <glitsj16> eahr: it might need a logout/login, but i guess you've already tried that
[09:49] <Viking667> All the ones I've tried under Linux have erm, sucked like 34-day-old bread
[09:49] <eahr> glitsj16: the selected theme works fine, except for the normal cursor icon, which should be a regular arrow in dmz, but it's the x-icon instead (the default in X.org)
[09:51] <phantome> ok Applesource, I found a similar story like the one i linked before on suse forums too. They say that it's plain easy: You boot with live distro (with gparted) and then resize your partition
[09:51] <Applesouce> damn its Applesouce why does everyone think its source ...
[09:52] <glitsj16> eahr: yes your problem sounded familiar, i had a similar experience changing cursor themes from the official repositories ... perhaps someone more familiar with dconf can help out
[09:52] <phantome> The only note was that you need to have a clean filesystem ... (meaning no problems with your fs, which is usualy the case)
[09:52] <phantome> hahah sorry
[09:52] <Applesouce> IM on a live partition
[09:52] <phantome> live cd?
[09:52] <Applesouce> yes
[09:52] <phantome> then run gparted
[09:52] <Applesouce> how should I resize my mount partition
[09:52] <eahr> glitsj16: i've found people with the same (or similar) problem, just never a solution ( http://askubuntu.com/questions/69105/ and http://askubuntu.com/questions/95564/ )
[09:52] <Applesouce> how did you think did I resize in the first place I have that running
[09:53] <eahr> glitsj16: but yeah, thanks anyway :)
[09:53] <phantome> ehm I didn't understand
[09:53] <phantome> You did resize it right?
[09:53] <Applesouce> I have resized my Windows partition
[09:53] <Applesouce> with gparted
[09:53] <phantome> did you reboot?
[09:54] <phantome> you need reboot for the changes to take effect
[09:54] <Applesouce> no Im on a live CD why should I reboot
[09:54] <fep> :p
[09:54] <Applesouce> I want to add it to mz other partition
[09:54] <glitsj16> eahr: np, these 'small' things can be a pain ;)
[09:54] <diverdude> hi
[09:54] <diverdude> I read some news that amazon stored more than a trillion objects in their cloud systems. What are these objects?
[09:54] <Applesouce> but it doesnt work ... as I said now like one million times
[09:56] <MonkeyDust> Applesouce  do you have windows installed, or do you *plan* to install it?
[09:56] <Applesouce> I have windows installed
[09:58] <MonkeyDust> Applesouce  at this point, my advice would be to backup your windows, delete all partitions and start over partitioning
[09:58] <qw> hello all
[09:58] <Applesouce> Is this reallz the onlz way
[10:00] <glitsj16> eahr: an ugly hack might be to replace your 'old' normal cursor icon with the 'new' one in /usr/share/icons
[10:01] <kroonrs> I'm trying to shift from kubuntu to ubuntu.  For first step (apt-get install ubuntu-desktop), I get error "Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages".  But apt-get upgrade shows no problems.  (I have just upgraded 10.04 to 12.04).
[10:02] <Cebor> hi, i get an error while compiling powertop: http://pastebin.com/7wwhfqWT   can someone help me to solve this ??
[10:02] <D[4]ni> kroonrs: does `dpkg --get-selections | grep hold` show anything?
[10:02] <MonkeyDust> kroonrs  try sudo apt-get -f install        -f means fix
[10:02] <eahr> glitsj16: i was considering doing that, but i'm not sure where i would find the default icon theme of X
[10:03] <kroonrs> D[4]ni: no - nothing
[10:03] <kroonrs> MonkeyDust: -f install doesn't do anything
[10:04] <glitsj16> eahr: i believe it's either DMZ-Black or DMZ-White (in /usr/share/icons)
[10:05] <D[4]ni> kroonrs: you _must_ have some packages on hold since it says "held broken packages"
[10:05] <D[4]ni> kroonrs: are you by any chance using aptitude?
[10:05] <kroonrs> D[4]ni: am using apt-get
[10:06] <D[4]ni> kroonrs: did you copy the ` with the command? because you shouldn't
[10:07] <lukas1321> Can someone tell me how I can add Ubuntu into my NTLDR?
[10:07] <D[4]ni> lukas1321: download, install and run EasyBCD on your windows
[10:07] <eahr> glitsj16: that's actually the icon theme i'd like to use (well, one of the possibilities), but i mean the fully black icon theme that X.org uses by default. can't find a screenshot of it anywhere right now though.
[10:07] <D[4]ni> lukas1321: wait, win xp?
[10:07] <lukas1321> D[4]ni: Already did that, no dice :(
[10:08] <lukas1321> D[4]: 7 and 8
[10:08] <kroonrs> Part of the error says "This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation of if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming".  Not quite sure what they mean by "Incoming" or "the unstable distribution
[10:08] <kroonrs> D[4]ni: no, I didn't copy the backtick-quote
[10:08] <lukas1321> D[4]ni: I run Win7 and Win8 (release preview, on diff artitions)
[10:08] <lukas1321> partitions*
[10:09] <D[4]ni> lukas1321: well, easybcd works for me(tm)
[10:10] <D[4]ni> kroonrs: try to remove kubuntu-desktop first
[10:10] <lukas1321> D[4]ni: Right now I'm running PartedMagic from HBCD. Can I flag my Ubuntu partition with "boot"?
[10:10] <eahr> glitsj16: hmm.. maybe it's that one called "hicolor"
[10:10] <heresjohnny> lukas1321: not needed
[10:10] <Dr_Willis> hmm
[10:11] <tanveer_> i need help guys!!
[10:11] <tanveer_> i cant get into win 7 after installing ubunut
[10:11] <Dr_Willis> i dident think grub used the boot flag at all
[10:11] <dizzylizzy> sounds like you need a grub timeout, tanveer_ !
[10:11] <lukas1321> heresjohnny: since "Windows" entry is already on my GRUB
[10:11] <tanveer_> whats a grub timeout?!
[10:11] <Dr_Willis> tanveer_:  so what does the system do exactly?
[10:11] <eahr> eahr: or not, i renamed the directory, but the black x-icon still appears magically :)
[10:11] <heresjohnny> tanveer_: i think you can hold left shift
[10:12] <heresjohnny> tanveer_: at boot to get a grub menu
[10:12] <tanveer_> i prese enter on win 7 on grub it just goes back to grab
[10:12] <D[4]ni> dizzylizzy: doesn't grub have a default timeout of 10 secs?
[10:12] <kroonrs> D[4]ni: I need to keep the desktop until I have another one...
[10:12] <dizzylizzy> D[4]ni, that depends!!!! :D
[10:12] <eahr> glitsj16: or not, i renamed the directory, but the black x-icon still appears magically :)
[10:12] <tanveer_> i have 10 seconds on grub but problem is i hit enter on win7 yet it goes back to grub
[10:12] <D[4]ni> kroonrs: ever tried ctrl+alt+f[1-6]?
[10:12] <dizzylizzy> ahh
[10:12] <tanveer_> all my families stuff in win7
[10:12] <D[4]ni> and ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to the gui
[10:12] <kroonrs> D[4]ni: yes, but I use applications on the desktop that I can't use on the console
[10:13] <tanveer_> what should i do??
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> tanveer_:  i  would suggest booting into linux, then doing a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and  se eif any updates  fix the   grub entry for windows. since it seems to be in error.
[10:13] <D[4]ni> kroonrs: just for replacing the desktop
[10:13] <dizzylizzy> well at least you can always mount the windows partition from ubuntu
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> tanveer_:  also see if you can access the windows drive from inside linux
[10:13] <kroonrs> D[4]ni: and if I remove kde and can't install gnome (or possibly reinstall KDE), I'm stuck without a desktop...
[10:13] <tanveer_> i can access the 80gb file system in ubuntu il do the updates quikcly
[10:14] <heresjohnny> kroonrs: cleanest way would be to just backup home and etc and install ubuntu then manually copy the needed stuff over
[10:14] <Dr_Willis> kroonrs:  you could intall some 3rd desktop/window manager as a backup. :) or learn to use the  console shell
[10:14] <D[4]ni> kroonrs: you should always be able to reinstall what you just uninstalled.
[10:14] <kroonrs> D[4]ni: I'll try it if I have no other option.  In any case, can't do it now - need to get home
[10:14] <D[4]ni> kroonrs: installing ubuntu-desktop shouldn't be a problem either.
[10:14] <kroonrs> s/home/an appointment
[10:14] <tanveer_> ok guys what after the update?
[10:14] <tanveer_> what if I still cant boot into win 7?
[10:14] <Dr_Willis> tanveer_:  i  would suggest booting into linux, then doing a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and  se eif any updates  fix the   grub entry for windows. since it seems to be in error.
[10:15] <tanveer_> dr willis i am in linux and im doing the updates in terminal
[10:15] <Dr_Willis> tanveer_:  upgrade does the actual  upgradeing of packages
[10:15] <Dr_Willis> so do both the commands mentioned
[10:15] <tanveer_> ok i did update and im doing upgrade now
[10:15] <antarus> I'm curious about ubuntu-minimal
[10:16] <antarus> is it safe to remove?
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> tanveer_:  its possible the grub entry is trying to boot the wrong windows parittio n
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> !info ubuntu-minimal
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> antarus:  its a meta package. why are you removeing it?
[10:17] <tanveer_> dr willis oh i see how would i change that?
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> tanveer_:  one way.. as a test - edit the grub boot entries from the grub menu as a test..  other way make a custome entry for windows with the right info in /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[10:18] <D[4]ni> tanveer_: if the upgrade doesn't work, try 'update-grub'
[10:18] <antarus> Dr_Willis: I'm just curious how the OS dependencies are structured
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> windows can be installed weirdly by some  companies
[10:18] <antarus> Dr_Willis: like ubuntu-minimal depends on eject, and I don't want eject, so I could possibly remove eject
[10:18] <antarus> but then some packages might break (because they expect eject)
[10:18] <antarus> but it seems like nothing depends on ubuntu-minimal
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> meta packages just pull in other packages..
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> i belive
[10:19] <tanveer_> upgrade is almost done
[10:19] <glitsj16> eahr: looked around some more, but only bug reports, no clear fixes i'm afraid ... what i forgot, do you have the correct index.theme file also in ~/.icons/default ?
[10:19] <nyuszika7h> Metapackages have a collection of packages as dependencies, I think.
[10:20] <antarus> Dr_Willis: I'm curious if the dependencies of other packages are missing dependencies, because the dependencies are provided by ubuntu-minimal
[10:20] <antarus> like if i remove eject, will things break because they expect eject to be installed by ubuntu-minimal, or should they depend directly on eject?
[10:20] <eahr> glitsj16: hmm.. i don't seem to have .icons, i guess i could try creating it
[10:20] <Dr_Willis> meta packages are not depended on.. they are used to make it easier to install 'sets' of other packages
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> at least thats how i think its setup
[10:22] <glitsj16> eahr: yes do, this seems to be a regular file, not a symlink as the one in /usr/share/icons/default
[10:22] <mi3> HI!
[10:23] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[10:25] <eahr> glitsj16: i copied /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme to ~/.icons/default/index.theme , didn't seem to make a difference unfortunately :/
[10:28] <glitsj16> eahr: too bad, seems food fr a bug report
[10:30] <eahr> glitsj16: maybe, i guess this isn't all that important though, would have just been nice to have a prettier mouse cursor :)
[10:31] <glitsj16> eahr: true :)
[10:31] <tanveer_> dr willis it didnt work
[10:31] <tanveer_> did all updates and all upgrades
[10:31] <tanveer_> still couldnt boot into win7
[10:32] <lizzin> my resolution and font size are set to what i am used to in osx(1920x1200 and 14pt.) but everthing still looks so big. what can i do? decreasing the font size degrades they way chars look
[10:33] <tanveer_> who can fix my problem over teamviewer a remote desktop application?!
[10:33] <tanveer_> im screwed if i cant boot into win 7
[10:34] <tanveer_> nooooooo theirs no one here
[10:35] <MonkeyDust> tanveer_  grub issues?
[10:35] <tanveer_> yes
[10:35] <tanveer_> I cant boot into win7
[10:35] <tanveer_> I press enter on win7, but it just goes back to grub menu
[10:35] <g[r]eek> Hi fellas. I am using PHP to send emails using the mail() function. I'd like to figure out what mail() is calling. The PHP docs only refer to "the program configured to send emails on your server" <- how do I figure out more about this program? I'm on Ubuntu 11.04
[10:35] <Likso> Hi. I'm using a live cd with ubuntu (11.10 64bit). I need to burn an iso with ubuntu 12.04 but my computer has just one dvd drive. Can I take out the live cd, burn the ISO of Ubuntu 12.04 without problems?
[10:36] <tanveer_> no you cant likso
[10:36] <heresjohnny> tanveer_: could be grub or windows 7s bootloader got mssed p
[10:36] <tanveer_> heresjohnny do you think you can fix it over teamviewer??
[10:36] <tanveer_> or anyone free?
[10:36] <DarwinSurvivor> Likso: if you have a usb drive, you could boot ubuntu off of that, then your cd burner would be free for burning
[10:37] <heresjohnny> tanveer_: theres a prog called easybsd that can repair it, but it might not even be that
[10:37] <tanveer_> shall I re-explain the problem just to be sure
[10:37] <Likso> @DarwinSurvivor that's a good idea. I didnt' think about that. Thanks! :)
[10:38] <lizzin> my resolution and font size are set to what i am used to in osx(1920x1200 and 14pt.) but everthing still looks so big. what can i do? decreasing the font size degrades they way chars look
[10:38] <tanveer_> change resolution?
[10:38] <heresjohnny> tanveer_: not a good idea on lcd
[10:38] <tanveer_> oh
[10:39] <DarwinSurvivor> lizzin: is this in libreoffice, gedit, then entire system, just your user account...?
[10:40] <tanveer_> DOes anyone know how to fix my problem?!?
[10:40] <Viking667> Well, finally found what I wanted, cobbled together into a really long convoluted ffmpeg recording command.
[10:40] <DarwinSurvivor> !fixgrub | tanveer_
[10:40] <Viking667> pulls in two audio streams, and a video stream...
[10:40] <tanveer_> No no i didnt lose grub, I cant get to win7 from grub menu
[10:40] <Viking667> I'm recording the video and the audio to two separate hard drives to increase the quality of encoding. And MAN the vidcap is good.
[10:41] <DarwinSurvivor> tanveer_: look at thos instructions, it may also help you get windows working again
[10:41] <Viking667> so, I'm a happy camper. Just requires me to tune ffmpeg.
[10:41] <MonkeyDust> tanveer_  and a grub-repair, or grub-update?
[10:41] <szal> tanveer_: indeed, 'sudo update-grub' might help for starters
[10:41] <heresjohnny> tanveer_: you need to restore windows boot with fixboot
[10:42] <olala22000> yes1
[10:42] <lizzin> DarwinSurvivor: well with firefox, only the menu buttons look overly big. same with evince and other apps. terminal chars are also big
[10:42] <heresjohnny> tanveer_: try booting with a windows 7 dvd if you have one and running fixboot it might sort it
[10:42] <lizzin> DarwinSurvivor: fwiw, it is a fresh install
[10:42] <szal> tanveer_: if that doesn't cut it, then download & burn a Super GRUB2 Disk, reinstall Windows bootloader w/ Windows install medium, then boot *buntu w/ Super GRUB2 Disk, & reinstall Grub
[10:42] <DarwinSurvivor> lizzin: did you set any custom video settings (dpi, etc)?
[10:43] <tanveer_> thats quite alot to do szal il quikcly try sudo update-grub and see if dingoes anyth
[10:43] <lizzin> DarwinSurvivor: i dont recall doing so. played around with xrandr. thats it though
[10:43] <tanveer_> does anything*
[10:43] <Viking667> tanveer_: heh. I really did read that as "dingoes anything"
[10:43] <tanveer_> lol
[10:43] <DarwinSurvivor> lizzin: do you have the same issues if you create a new user and login as them?
[10:44] <tanveer_> windows 7 is SDA1 is their any way i can check this and make it default boot priority
[10:45] <lizzin> DarwinSurvivor: one sec
[10:45] <jerryzhou> hi
[10:46] <tanveer_> brb going to re try to boot into win 7
[10:46] <Anomie211> Friend installed Ubuntu last night, he says once he gets past the home/login page all he can see is a white screen, just wondering if anyone has experienced this before? So I know what to look for
[10:46] <freedomrun> Anomie211, vga driver issue
[10:47] <olala22000> < tanveer_> hi before look at here http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/boot-repair
[10:47] <Anomie211> freedomrun: How would I resolve that? Since I can't see the screen to do anything lol
[10:48] <freedomrun> Anomie211, by booting in cli mode, or ctrl+alt+f1 at login screen, before you login
[10:49] <tanveer_> ok sudo grubupdate didnt fix the problem I still cant boot into wni7
[10:50] <tanveer_> on grub menu I press enter on win 7
[10:50] <sentriz> Ìû
[10:50] <tanveer_> goes back to grub menu
[10:51] <tanveer_> i have a wIN7 ultimate disc
[10:53] <ubuntu_> i just deleted my logical drive by mistake and my data was lost............... then i tried to get the data back using TEST DISK but after the quick search  it says that "files cannot be shown ,files have been damaged" .... Please help me to get my data back????????/
[10:53] <master5o1> Hi.
[10:54] <Anomie211> freedomrun: Will other desktop enviroments work? Like Unity2D
[10:54] <freedomrun> ubuntu_, testdisk but 1st for file partition/system, then your files will be available
[10:55] <ubuntu_> sorry i didn`t get u!
[10:55] <freedomrun> Anomie211, once you setup xorg properly they all are going to work
[10:56] <lizzin> DarwinSurvivor: even new users are bigger than what i am used to in osx
[10:56] <ubuntu_> freedomrun_,, sorry i didn`t understand
[10:56] <freedomrun> ubuntu_, here is documentation and examples of usage: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk just keep in mind you are trying to recover partition not files
[10:57] <DarwinSurvivor> lizzin: can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing?
[10:57] <lizzin> DarwinSurvivor: working on it now
[10:57] <ubuntu_> freedom_run,,, but i just need my data back
[10:57] <ubuntu_> .
[10:59] <freedomrun> ubuntu_, well when you recover partition your disk will know where and how to search for your data :)
[10:59] <lizzin> DarwinSurvivor: what is a good site to post a screenshot?
[11:00] <ubuntu_> ya i got that ...... but after quick search..... when i tried to get into the drive ,,, it says that files have been damaged
[11:00] <MonkeyDust> lizzin  http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add
[11:00] <DarwinSurvivor> !pastebin | lizzin
[11:02] <freedomrun> ubuntu_, what filesystem was recovered and was it same before the problem
[11:03] <ubuntu_> what i didn`t get you???//
[11:04] <lizzin> DarwinSurvivor: http://imagebin.org/216217 hopefully you can see the size diff. also notice the diff in the brightness. can the brightness on the ubuntu terminal(on left) be increased too?
[11:04] <freedomrun> ubuntu_, maybe it is better that you try to describe what you did with TestDisk instead of my guessing
[11:05] <ubuntu_> ok!!!!!!!!!!
[11:06] <morsnowski> Anybody an idea where I can find libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_amd64.deb
[11:06] <DarwinSurvivor> lizzin: that looks normal to me. the terminal tends to have a fairly large font, I usually run mine with "monospace 10"
[11:06] <ubuntu_> i just opened test disk and started the quick search as soon as i saw my hard disk ..........then after analysis it said that the files have been damaged
[11:06] <morsnowski> it's not on any ubuntu mirror
[11:06] <DarwinSurvivor> morsnowski: why do you need it?
[11:07] <morsnowski> I have an old lexmark and their install script needs that one
[11:07] <DarwinSurvivor> morsnowski: what install script?
[11:07] <lizzin> DarwinSurvivor: why would the same settings(font and resolution) be different sizes?
[11:07] <MonkeyDust> !find libstdc | morsnowski
[11:08] <morsnowski> yes i know the current version but I do need the old one
[11:09] <DarwinSurvivor> morsnowski: non-repository drivers and install scripts are very dangerous because it is very difficult to tell what they are doing to the filesystem since they *rarely* ever use the package managers. they aer also VERY difficult (or impossible) to remove
[11:09] <DarwinSurvivor> morsnowski: have you checked the http://www.openprinting.org/printers database to see if the printer is supported?
[11:09] <morsnowski> DarwinSurvivor, I know but I'm not going to kick out a perfectly working printer
[11:09] <morsnowski> and I refuse to boot into windows
[11:10] <tanveer_> Neeed help
[11:11] <tanveer_> the windows file system is there
[11:11] <tanveer_> but i cant boot into it still
[11:11] <tanveer_> i have a windows cd
[11:11] <morsnowski> DarwinSurvivor, will do that again but as of three weeks ago there wasn't anything there either
[11:12] <tanveer_> come on guys
[11:13] <freedomrun> ubuntulog, that could mean that your boot sector is damaged or cannot be read you can rebuild that with deeper scan but you should know what was your partition layout before problem
[11:14] <freedomrun> ubuntulog, partition table is written in bootsector
[11:15] <MonkeyDust> tanveer_  maybe ask in ##windows
[11:15] <lizzin> DarwinSurvivor: any idea why the same settings(font and resolution) would appear differently?
[11:16] <DarwinSurvivor> lizzin: who knows. fonts are *supposed* to be standard sizes, but anyone who has worked with layout software and document editors enough knows it simply doesn't happen
[11:16] <tanveer_> this is a grub problem munkeydust
[11:16] <tanveer_> i cant get into wnidows from grub
[11:16] <tanveer_> i never had this problem before in kubuntu
[11:17] <nannes> tanveer_: Have you tried to reinstall grub on hda0 ?
[11:17] <tanveer_> how do i do that
[11:17] <nannes> !grub | tanveer_
[11:17] <DarwinSurvivor> lizzin: one reason is that font points are defined by the PHYSICAL size (a "point" is a unit of measurement), so if the DPI settings for the display settings are different, the fonts will be different
[11:17] <tanveer_> I did the grub updates
[11:17] <tanveer_> can u take a look at my computer?
[11:17] <tanveer_> laptop
[11:18] <nannes> lol?
[11:18] <tanveer_> i dont understand how the file system works on ubuntu
[11:18] <nannes> what?
[11:18] <freedomrun> ubuntu_  that could mean that your boot sector is damaged or cannot be read you can rebuild that with deeper scan but you should know what was your partition layout before problem
[11:18] <lizzin> DarwinSurvivor: oh ok, i look into the dpi settings
[11:18] <nannes> tanveer_: it's pretty simple
[11:18] <DarwinSurvivor> morsnowski: hmm, unfortunately non-repo software is unsupported (this includes PPA's), so for help using them you will need to contact the author directly (Lexmark in your case)
[11:18] <tanveer_> nannes with remote desktop connection
[11:18] <freedomrun> ubuntu_ partition table is written in bootsector
[11:18] <tanveer_> you view my screen
[11:18] <nannes> tanveer_: :OO
[11:18] <sentriz> Ìû
[11:18] <tanveer_> teamviewer
[11:18] <tanveer_> i have it installed
[11:19] <nannes> tanveer_: Ok I can, but you should know it's very risky to ask about it in a public IRC channel
[11:19] <DarwinSurvivor> !private | tanveer_
[11:19] <tanveer_> yeah dont worry
[11:19] <tanveer_> how can i private message you
[11:20] <nannes> tanveer_:  /quote nannes
[11:20] <DarwinSurvivor> tanveer_: have you CONFIRMED that it is a grub issue? Windows can be VERY picky about it's boot loader being replaced
[11:20] <tanveer_> darwin yes im sure
[11:20] <tanveer_> and rootpass is 123
[11:21] <nannes> o.O
[11:21] <tanveer_> just take a look at my laptop
[11:21] <nannes> tanveer_: PV me!!!!
[11:21] <nannes> lol how crazy people
[11:21] <tanveer_> oh the /quote nannes ?
[11:21] <nannes> tanveer_: yep

[11:24] <kulhas> hello, I use last ubuntu with unity and there is something that I dont like it, what annoys me most is that open app's and closed app's are all together… is there any solution to this ? (btw I am thinking to install another desktop manager, but first I would like to give unity a oportunity)
[11:24] <fidel> kulhas: could you try to rephrase your issue?
[11:25] <fidel> kulhas: looking for some kind of dock which only shows open apps or whats your target?
[11:25] <geff> ./irc.hackerzvoice.net 6667
[11:25] <fidel> geff: without the .
[11:25] <fidel> and with connect or server instead most likely
[11:26] <fidel> or like that ;)
[11:27] <kulhas> In unity in the sidebar app menu it have the closed apps and open apps, so I need to scrool to switch from active app to active app. I don't want to scroll and would like to have my open apps grouped
[11:28] <DarwinSurvivor> kulhas: well you can always move your most-used applications to the top of the bar (drag right, then up/down)
[11:28] <fidel> kulhas: i would just replace the unity-dock/sidebar with something else (like awn/docky/tint2 or similar) - but i dont use unity either
[11:29] <DarwinSurvivor> kulhas: there is no shame in using another DE if you don't like Unity. KDE, gnome-shell and xfce are all quite popular
[11:29] <freedomrun> kulhas, try MyUnity
[11:32] <kulhas> humm ok tx
[11:33] <morsnowski> whats up with kernel.org have they given up the ghost ?
[11:35] <MonkeyDust> morsnowski  yes, won't load here, either

[11:38] <riegersn> how can I modify my keyboard settings to swap the default FN mode? I'd like it to be set to on by default so i can control volume and music without hitting the fn key every time.
[11:39] <riegersn> its a logitech wireless solar k750
[11:41] <DarwinSurvivor> riegersn: you mean the Fn+something keybindings?
[11:42] <tziOm> Does ubuntu setup not support I350 ethernet?
[11:43] <DarwinSurvivor> tziOm: the printer...?
[11:44] <tziOm> ethernet printer?
[11:44] <tziOm> no, intel gb etherner
[11:45] <Cebor> hi, i get an error while compiling powertop: http://pastebin.com/7wwhfqWT   can someone help me to solve this ??
[11:45] <DarwinSurvivor> tziOm: I'm seeing references to Intel having released the drivers in 2011, so they *should* be supported.
[11:46] <morsnowski> MonkeyDust, thanks
[11:46] <tziOm> but seems the ubuntu bootloader does not support in the igb driver..?
[11:46] <DarwinSurvivor> Cebor: why not use the version in the repositories?
[11:47] <DarwinSurvivor> !details  | tziOm
[11:47] <Cebor> DarwinSurvivor, the version dont start on my machiene
[11:48] <DarwinSurvivor> Cebor: could you be more specific?
[11:49] <hanke> I have installed 12.04 on 2 computers already and everything is running smoothly. Now i wanted to install it on another laptop (Acer). Installation went fine, however after i enter my password nothing happens anymore. I can move the mouse but screen stays blank. I have reinstalled twice already but same behaviour. Anyone seen this kind of problem?
[11:49] <Cebor> DarwinSurvivor,  i got a black screen, and i must kill my terminal
[11:50] <tanveer_> it didnt work it went into sda1 I think
[11:50] <tanveer_> so i just came back onto ubuntu
[11:51] <DarwinSurvivor> Cebor: oh. unless there is some debug info (or terminal output) you can capture, the best I'd be able to do is recommend filing a bug report. the compile error appears to be an issue with the source code, so you'll have to report *that* issue to the developers
[11:52] <Cebor> ok thanks
[11:52] <riegersn> Darwin4Ever, got disconnected. Yes I was to swap the default state of the FN key, so I can change volume and music without hitting it.
[11:52] <DarwinSurvivor> hanke: did you use the same install disk for all 3 machines?
[11:52] <hanke> @Darmin: yes
[11:52] <DarwinSurvivor> riegersn: so problem solved?
[11:52] <riegersn> Darwin4Ever, no. Did I miss your resolution maybe?
[11:53] <szal> Cebor: why do you _compile_ powertop in the 1st place?
[11:53] <DarwinSurvivor> hanke: you said "nothing happens" and "screen stays blank", did it go to a black screen when you logged in or something?
[11:53] <szal> !info powertop
[11:53] <hanke> I get a login screen; i enter my password and press enter
[11:53] <DarwinSurvivor> riegersn: you just said you were able to swap them, I thought that was what you wanted to do? if not, what do you still need to do?
[11:53] <hanke> then it looks like its dong something, but it will stay like that ...
[11:54] <hanke> only thing that i can move is the mouse pointer ...
[11:54] <DarwinSurvivor> hanke: so it's not blank, it's frozen?
[11:54] <Cebor> szal,  sorry dont understand what u want...
[11:54] <hanke> not frozen... the mouse responds thats the most qurious part ...
[11:54] <szal> Cebor: you could as well install powertop from the above mentioned package, no need to build yourself
[11:55] <riegersn> Darwin4Ever, sorry about the confusion, I meant I WANT to swap the FN key. I'm here for help in figuring out how to do it ;p
[11:55] <Cebor> szal, powertop from the repos dont work for me,   the last version from github worked fine until the last days
[11:56] <lemarc> my touchpad hangs very frequently on ubuntu 11.10
[11:57] <DarwinSurvivor> riegersn: the Fn key is not a normal modifier key (like shift, ctrl, alt, super), it is a HARDWARE modifier which means that the OS has absolutely no idea the button was ever hit. F8 and Fn+F8 appear as completely different keys to the operating system. some computers allow the key to be change in the BIOS, but other than that you will need to rebind each key individually (beware of hardware combos such as Fn+F8 disabling touch
[11:58] <DarwinSurvivor> hanke: did the livecd log in fine?
[11:58] <riegersn> Darwin4Ever, I see. Ok, thank youj
[11:59] <hanke> yes; no problem. Also when i enter 'rescue mode' i can start a shell and mount everything ... so the problem looks like related to some GUI program that does not start correctly ?
[12:01] <DarwinSurvivor> hanke: can you boot the install media and select "check this disk for defects"? it could be that one of the drivers or something on the disk (which is only needed on the third machine) is corrupted
[12:02] <operatorplik> met malam
[12:02] <hanke> okya, i'll try that ... will take a while though ... I'll let you know :)
[12:03] <DarwinSurvivor> hanke: ok

[12:07] <SunSoul> Morning all. I am trying to get Ubuntu 12.04 to boot with an EFI boot system. I have made a EFI boot partition already. How do I go about making sure that Ubuntu 12.04 will install the boot loader within that space, so t hat it iwll boot proper with EFI support. Note, that I am doing a fresh install, so I have not modified anything, or have not done any installation so far, just beginning.

[12:08] <hanke> @DarwinSurvivor: I wanted to reboot but then a 'window' popped up: The application COMPIZ has closed unexpectedly.
[12:08] <DarwinSurvivor> hanke: and you hadn't logged in yet?
[12:08] <hanke> THis is probably the problem, but how can i solve it ???
[12:09] <DarwinSurvivor> hanke: you got that from the login screen?
[12:09] <hanke> I entered my passwd to login and after that the system stops responding ... (only mouse still working)
[12:10] <tanveer_> nannes u there
[12:10] <hanke> then after long time the COMPIZ problem pops up ....
[12:10] <Tinkernoob> [help] I removed myself from the admin group, how do I put myself back in the sudoers file? I am the only user on my vps running ubuntu 12.04lts
[12:11] <ikonia> softmanpetro: you're not using network manager are you ?
[12:11] <ikonia> Tinkernoob: you need to boot into recovery mode
[12:11] <ikonia> Tinkernoob: from there you can re-add yourself to the admin group
[12:11] <serdar_> I am using ubuntu 11.10, I would like to upgrade it to 12.04. Is it possible to do it?
[12:11] <ikonia> serdar_: sure
[12:12] <serdar_> ikonia: how can I do it?
[12:12] <ikonia> !upgrade > serdar_
[12:12] <DarwinSurvivor> hanke: could be, but check the disk first. if the disk is corrupted, you have bigger fish to fry!
[12:12] <ikonia> serdar_: check the link ubottu just sent you
[12:12] <hanke> okay, i'll continue with disk checking
[12:12] <serdar_> ikonia: thank you
[12:13] <Tinkernoob> ikonia: How do i do that from the commandline, i only know reboot command
[12:13] <MonkeyDust> Tinkernoob  try visudo
[12:14] <ikonia> Tinkernoob: it would be easier to boot from a livecd, or select recovery mode from the grub boot option

[12:15] <serdar_> ikonia: it is very easy to upgrade the ubuntu, thanks for your help
[12:15] <ikonia> Tinkernoob: you'll need to contact your VPS hosting provider to fix it then
[12:15] <Tinkernoob> ok will do that then
[12:18] <softmanpetro> solved it ikonia
[12:18] <softmanpetro> but needed a restart
[12:18] <softmanpetro> after deleting the 2 auto blocks in interfaces
[12:19] <softmanpetro> there is any ifconfig eth0 restart ?
[12:21] <fira> softmanpetro: uh, /etc/init.d/network restart ?
[12:23] <softmanpetro> that still kept the result for ifconfig showing 3 ip's even after deleteing 2 of 3 of them inside interfaces
[12:23] <softmanpetro> ifconfig eth0 down is making machine unavailable so I did a restart
[12:23] <softmanpetro> network restart does not refresh somehow it's results

[12:26] <savr> hi
[12:27] <savr> I am having a really weird problem with my wifi
[12:27] <savr> when ever I try to connect to a network I previously connected to I can not get any network access
[12:27] <savr> even to the router
[12:28] <savr> this start right after someone renamed a network while I was connected to it
[12:28] <savr> currently I am connect via a wifi network I have never connected to
[12:29] <fidel> savr: could you check if you have defined some kind of 'prefered wifi-network' somewhere in your network-configuration
[12:29] <fidel> just wild guessing here
[12:30] <sacarlson> manitou: best I can find so far http://www.thinkplexx.com/learn/howto/linux/system/start-and-use-xfdb-enable-x-server-on-headless-system
[12:30] <savr> fidel, and what setting would that be?
[12:31] <fidel> savr: to remember and priorize a specific wifi-network - which might result in issues with some bad luck
[12:32] <savr> I have rebooted, logged in as guest
[12:32] <fidel> -> prefered wifi-network. Cant check further right now as i dont have wifi-hw right here
[12:32] <savr> fidel, they are all secure networks
[12:32] <dominik> manitou: you can run vncserver, it will provide you a "fake" display
[12:32] <savr> and none are in range of each other
[12:33] <savr> currently I am connected to an insecure network
[12:33] <savr> so maybe that is why I can connect
[12:33] <manitou> dominik, ok but machine wont boot ?
[12:34] <manitou> and it boot when monitor attached
[12:34] <subdesign> ppl why my browser wants to download a localhost site , and not render? i didn't do anything, once i load one of my dev site that happened

[12:36] <fidel> subdesign: php & local server?
[12:36] <subdesign> yes
[12:36] <subdesign> i restarted apache2

[12:37] <minatu> What app that allow preview new email?
[12:38] <fidel> minatu: please rephrase
[12:38] <minatu> I want to a application on my Ubuntu and allow to preview new mail
[12:39] <minatu> I searched on google, but nothing
[12:39] <fidel> minatu: your question is - at least for me - still pretty unclear
[12:40] <llutz> minatu: nearly any mailclient available allows to "preview new mail"
[12:40] <jennie> hello   I have installed a music player in 1204 through this command sudo apt-get install qmmp but how do I find it and run , please help
[12:40] <fidel> preview mail? this would need knowledge of your mail server, user and pw. therefor we already have mailclients
[12:40] <fidel> minatu: how are you currently using mail? browser only?
[12:40] <minatu> I'm finding a Ubuntu Application to pre-view ,mail content without opening mail client ( such as thunderbird)
[12:41] <fidel> jennie: use an launcher or start the app/cmd from a terminal
[12:41] <subdesign> fidel: yes phpinfo gives info
[12:41] <subdesign> fidel, whats next?
[12:41] <minatu> No, I'm using Thunderbird for mailing
[12:41] <fidel> subdesign: if phpinfo() works - your php page must work too - otherwise you have issues in your code
[12:41] <fidel> at this point you are using the wrong channel subdesign
[12:42] <fidel> as we focus on ubuntu issues - not php-code
[12:42] <fidel> consider enabling showing php error output
[12:42] <subdesign> fidel: all my sites on localhost is forced to download thats strange
[12:42] <jennie> fidel , it is closing when i closing terminal
[12:42] <petan> hi, is 10.04 LTS latest version? it doesn't let me upgrade to any newer version
[12:42] <jrib> !upgrade | petan
[12:42] <minatu> But, For some new email, I only want to read content without replying.
[12:42] <savr> any ideas?
[12:43] <fidel> jennie: well - thats normal like that - as you normaly dont launch apps like that. & might help. on the other hand - find a way to start it that you prefer
[12:43] <piet> hello, ubuntu and pc noob in general, using laptop HP, 64bit, win7, wanting to install ubuntu 12, but when i use WUBI, then PC restarts, to ubuntu on CD, then appears ubuntu desktop, where i choose option to install, PC restarts, and goes straight to ubuntu desktop on CD again, and nothing has been installed
[12:43] <jrib> petan: unless you take special action (see ubottu's links) 12.04 will not be offered as an upgrade until 12.04.1 is released
[12:43] <kanyl> Is it safe to upgrade ubuntu server from 10.10 to 12.04 without physical access? The server is a 500km drive away :3
[12:43] <fidel> petan: wait for 12.04.1 or do it manually
[12:43] <petan> jrib: 12.04 is LTS?
[12:43] <minatu> While Thunderbird take at least 10 second for starting up
[12:43] <jrib> petan: yes
[12:43] <petan> aha
[12:43] <fidel> petan: lts to lts without manually fiddling needs 12.04.1
[12:43] <subdesign> fidel: thx
[12:43] <jrib> kanyl: realize you must upgrade 10.10 to 11.04 to 11.10 and then to 12.04
[12:44] <petan> problem is that do-release-upgrade tell me there is no update
[12:44] <jrib> petan: see ubottu...
[12:44] <petan> I do
[12:44] <kanyl> jrib: Is there a big risk something will break?
[12:44] <crizis> there's always a risk
[12:44] <crizis> :)
[12:44] <fidel> kanyl: got issues on 1 of 3 hosts where i did lts-to-lts ...if that helps ;)
[12:45] <petan> jrib: what should I see there?
[12:45] <kanyl> fidel: big issues?
[12:45] <jrib> petan: read the relevant section... (10.04 to 12.04 upgrade)
[12:45] <fidel> kanyl: yep - and this host wasnt even that special ;)
[12:45] <petan> jrib: I don't see that section on that page
[12:46] <jrib> petan: what page?
[12:46] <sacarlson> piet: if you leave the cd in the drive and you have bios set to boot cd first before your hard disk then that's what it will do
[12:46] <petan> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[12:46] <jrib> petan: read the first line
[12:46] <piet> how to enter bios?
[12:46] <kanyl> fidel: what do you think, should I upgrade?  An upgrade is the process of going from an earlier version of Ubuntu to a newer version of Ubuntu with an installed system.
[12:46] <sacarlson> piet: other option is remove the cd from the drive before boot if you don't want to boot it
[12:47] <jrib> petan: read the first line, not the second one...
[12:47] <jrib> !notes | petan
[12:47] <jrib> petan: that has upgrade instructions too if you prefer
[12:47] <petan> aha
[12:47] <petan> ok
[12:47] <jrib> petan: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_10.04_LTS_to_Ubuntu_12.04_LTS
[12:47] <fidel> kanyl: we cant answer you that question
[12:47] <fidel> kanyl: at the end you have to answer that yourself
[12:48] <jrib> petan: ubottu's first link seems to not tell you how to bypass the wait for 12.04.1 on desktop (that I can see) but this last link does
[12:48] <piet> i don't know whether my quastion was clear: the question was that i can not start to install ubuntu 12, it just restarts into the ubuntu onto the CD
[12:48] <petan> jrib: that's my problem I was doing the same what is descried there
[12:48] <piet> *question
[12:48] <petan> it doesn't work
[12:49] <jrib> petan: just click the last link
[12:49] <jrib> petan: that I put in this channel
[12:49] <pzn> I need a special "mail account" in which people access using imap, and mails are read-only (no way to move folder, no way to delete message, no way to mark as read)... any ideas?
[12:49] <petan> jrib: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades
[12:49] <sacarlson> kanyl: I wouldn't upgrade remote system unless I had a way to simulate exact system I can touch first
[12:49] <petan> jrib: that's what I read now
[12:50] <jrib> petan: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_10.04_LTS_to_Ubuntu_12.04_LTS
[12:50] <piet> so i start wubi, it goes to ubuntu onto the CD when restarts automatically, then it shows an ubuntu desktop, where there is the option install, i click it, it asks what i want (i choose dual install) and then restarts back to ubuntu, but on the CD, thus NOT the install
[12:50] <petan> jrib: I don't have desktop
[12:50] <piet> it's like a circle
[12:50] <jrib> petan: ok then read the section for servers
[12:51] <jrib> petan: if you actually take the time to read and understand what is written, it is all there
[12:51] <sacarlson> piet: you not looking at the wubi boot,  you looking the live cd boot mode
[12:51] <piet> @sacarlson??? what do you mean?
[12:52] <Tzem> how to play a file .dv4?
[12:52] <sacarlson> piet: you keep saying wubi,  wubi is where you run a virtual like ubuntu within your windows partition
[12:52] <jrib> petan: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuServer#From_10.04_to_12.04 here's the section in the notes if you prefer
[12:52] <petan> jrib: I found that
[12:52] <somedude> ¡Hello! Do any of you use a time tracking software? which one?
[12:52] <jrib> petan: and?
[12:52] <petan> jrib: I am trying it
[12:53] <piet> ok, so i should change my bios then, in order to get on the CD? so, how do i enter my bios?
[12:53] <fidel> somedude: it might help if you mention what you want to track for. if i play dumb ...yes - using nagios which tracks time as well ;)
[12:53] <somedude> I've tried hamster time tracker but it has some limitations and I'm looking for an alternative
[12:53] <somedude> mi requirements are:
[12:53] <sacarlson> somedude: I track many things with time,  what are you wanting to track?
[12:53] <petan> jrib: what is "It is generally recommended that users of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS wait until the first point release, due in July, before upgrading. "
[12:53] <petan> does it mean there is no stable version yet?
[12:54] <somedude> 1.- Start/Stop counters through command line (ssh)
[12:54] <somedude> 2.- Track concurrent activities
[12:54] <somedude> Hamster has number1 but not number2
[12:54] <sacarlson> somedude: oh ok track exicution times
[12:54] <jrib> petan: no, it means that it's recommended you wait until a point release to upgrade to 12.04
[12:54] <somedude> yeah, is for tracking any kind of time
[12:54] <somedude> the time you spend doing your everyday tasks and so
[12:54] <petan> aha, then I will upgrade later
[12:55] <jrib> petan: it's fine to upgrade now if that's what you want
[12:57] <bieb> I have to run a script (print.sh) for all users, it is for our print accounting system.. I have followed: http://linuxcritic.wordpress.com/2010/04/07/anatomy-of-a-desktop-file/ to create a xxx.desktop file that runs the script. When I copy it from one user to another to test it, it does not execute. The chmod is 755, when I do ls -ll, it shows owner is root root What should I check next?
[12:58] <jrib> bieb: why aren't you just using /etc/xdg/autostart/ ?
[12:59] <jrib> bieb: in any case, does it work with any user?
[12:59] <bieb> jrib: I am going to add it to /etc/xdg/autostart  just figured I should test it first... right?
[12:59] <newcode> what's the exact syntax for granting admin group nopassword privileges in ubuntu natty?
[13:00] <subdesign> fidel: an update was erased some of my AddType setting, resetting it now works..
[13:01] <bieb> jrib: should I just add to autostart and see if that works?
[13:01] <jrib> bieb: did it work with any user yet?
[13:01] <sacarlson> newcode: maybe something like: sacarlson ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
[13:01] <newcode> right now I have %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
[13:01] <bieb> jrib: I have only tried one regular user
[13:02] <newcode> sacarlson: I tried that but when I exited then I could no longer use sudo :(
[13:02] <bieb> jrib: figured it was something I missed in the setup
[13:02] <jrib> bieb: where did you put the file?
[13:02] <newcode> sacarlson: that's why I'm asking for the exact syntax, seems like the visudo file is a bit touchy
[13:02] <sacarlson> newcode: why not?  what did you use to edit /etc/sudoer with?
[13:03] <bieb> I created it as the default user.. then sudo cp /home/user/Desktop  for testing
[13:03] <sacarlson> newcode: in my case it's only one user not a whole group
[13:03] <newcode> sacarlson: I haven't edited /etc/sudoer yet
[13:03] <rick1121> Hello. I'm trying to install the broadcom-sta driver module, but it doesn't come with dkms in precise. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Note that bcmwl-kernel-source provides an earlier version of this driver (and it's not what I want). https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/broadcom-sta
[13:04] <sacarlson> newcode: the visudo is what's used to edit /etc/sudoers
[13:04] <newcode> sacarlson: ok :)
[13:04] <newcode> sacarlson: I just typed sudo visudo then
[13:04] <sacarlson> newcode: show me your exact line then
[13:05] <crackerjackz> i want an antivirus that specifically looks for linux viruses / malware
[13:05] <amgarching> Hi, how do I fix scrollbars in GTK apps?
[13:05] <newcode> %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
[13:05] <newcode> sacarlson: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
[13:05] <sacarlson> newcode: yes that should get you into the sudoers editor
[13:06] <sacarlson> newcode: that won't add nopassword
[13:06] <newcode> sacarlson: what I showed you is what I currently have
[13:06] <jrib> bieb: that command would error out...
[13:06] <sacarlson> newcode: yes before you add to a group try it on a single user first
[13:06] <bieb> jrib: why?
[13:07] <jrib> bieb: because cp expects at least 2 arguments
[13:07] <newcode> sacarlson: how so?
[13:07] <g[r]eek> Hi how do I determine which email server is running on my server?
[13:07] <sacarlson> newcode: did you read my above?   newcode  ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
[13:07] <bieb> jrib: cp worked.. I just didnt put whole command here..
[13:07] <llutz> g[r]eek: sudo lsof -i :25
[13:07] <jrib> bieb: then I still don't know where you put the file...
[13:08] <gry> After upgrade to 11.10, system says 'waiting for network configuration' 'waiting 60 more seconds for network configuration' 'booting without full network configuration' then boots normally; commenting all lines in /etc/network/interfaces (http://pastebin.ca/2160842) is a workaround; what is the real problem and how can it be fixed please?
[13:08] <jrib> bieb: the per-user directory for autostart is ~/.config/autostart/ .  If you want, you can just use the gui tool to create a startup program and it will create a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart/ for you
[13:08] <g[r]eek> llutz++
[13:08] <g[r]eek> thanks
[13:08] <sacarlson> newcode: change newcode to your user name for passwordless account
[13:08] <newcode> sacarlson: cool, done!
[13:08] <softmanpetro> how can I find the upTime of the server to last reboot ?
[13:08] <softmanpetro> i already did the reboot
[13:08] <newcode> sacarlson: I guess I should test this
[13:08] <jrib> softmanpetro: uptime
[13:09] <bieb> jrib: ok.. let me try that
[13:09] <sacarlson> newcode: yes now login to that acount and try sudo ls
[13:09] <newcode> ok
[13:10] <softmanpetro> it said 58 minutes jrdnn
[13:10] <softmanpetro> it said 58 minutes jrib
[13:10] <newcode> sacarlson: it seems like it worked
[13:10] <softmanpetro> and I need last uptime no the current one
[13:10] <newcode> sacarlson: so now I just do the same for the group admin, same syntax?
[13:10] <rick1121> Would anyone be able to give a pointer with adding a kernel module that does not have dkms packaged?
[13:11] <sacarlson> newcode: yes for group you add % in front of the group name
[13:11] <newcode> sacarlson: thanks so much :) that really helped
[13:11] <sacarlson> newcode: don't blame me if you get hacked
[13:12] <newcode> sacarlson: lol
[13:12] <jrib> softmanpetro: maybe the « last » command and some math then
[13:12] <bieb> jrib: the .desktop is named pc-client-linux.sh.desktop
[13:18] <__Hybris__> cipy
[13:18] <patc> Hello! How can I disable kernel updates? I've got an updated kernel installed and don't want apt-get upgrade to install upgrades. My kernel is newer than the one that the updater wants to install.
[13:19] <bieb> jrib: can I message you? I am losing your questions in the room
[13:19] <ruvil> hi

[13:21] <jrib> bieb: I'd prefer not
[13:21] <bieb> jrib: ok.. did you see the desktop command that was created with the startup program gui?
[13:22] <jrib> bieb: the name is fine
[13:22] <bieb> ok
[13:22] <bieb> jrib: what do you want me to try now?
[13:22] <jrib> bieb: did it not work?
[13:22] <bieb> I havent restarted yet
[13:23] <bieb> jrib: wasnt sure if you wanted me to restart.. copy the .desktop to a user or to /etc/xdg/autostart
[13:24] <jrib> bieb: if it's in the users ~/.config/autostart/ you can just leave it in there for now and test
[13:24] <mithran> hello  ia want to formatt my computer and re install all the current software in ...What Shall I do for making my ubuntu DVD????????

[13:27] <gry> (resent) After upgrade to 11.10, system says 'waiting for network configuration' 'waiting 60 more seconds for network configuration' 'booting without full network configuration' then boots normally; commenting all lines in /etc/network/interfaces (http://pastebin.ca/2160842) is a workaround; what is the real problem and how can it be fixed please?
[13:27] <mithran> jrib: What is the Command osing in the terminal?
[13:27] <gry> ptu: What happens when you try?
[13:27] <judgen> Is there anyway to use the Hudson azalia chip without pulseaudio installed?
[13:28] <ptu> i cannot shutdown when i press button shutdown on menu
[13:28] <jrib> mithran: the one ubottu said
[13:28] <ikonia> gry: is it fighting with network manager
[13:28] <piet> HP laptop, 64bit, win7: ubuntu 12 does not install: when starting PC up, have GRUB, choose ubuntu, it goes to ubuntu desktop (from CD) choose to install, then it asks kind of install (dual-boot) and the pc restarts, after it throws out CD, then it goes to "no media to read from) or when i not close the CDtray, it goes back to the ubuntu desktop from CD without install...i'm in a loop
[13:29] <behzad> hi there
[13:29] <Joselin> hello
[13:29] <gry> ikonia: I don't know, I think I have NetworkManager installed but I don't know what it's fighting with
[13:29] <behzad> I have a problem with internet connection using ADSL broadband
[13:29] <ikonia> gry: if you comment out the lines in /etc/interface does it work/boot straight away
[13:29] <ptu> gry:it shown shutdown screen for a time and then nothing happen
[13:29] <judgen> ptu, does "gksu halt" work?
[13:29] <behzad> does anybody to help me please>?
[13:29] <gry> ikonia: Yes
[13:30] <ikonia> gry: that suggests to me it's fighting
[13:30] <ikonia> gry: when you comment out the interface lines, does it come up with any networking configured ?
[13:30] <ptu> judgen: i don't know, let me try button command shutdown not work
[13:30] <Joselin> i have got a problem
[13:31] <Joselin> why appear here cone
[13:31] <Tetracomm> Hello.
[13:31] <sacarlson> piet: when you selected to install (dual-boot) did you have a spare partition to install it on?
[13:31] <gry> ikonia: in both cases, I log in to xfce and have working networking
[13:31] <Tetracomm> Does anyone here know of a way to get the Hauppauge HVR-850 tv tuner to work in Ubuntu?
[13:31] <Kenny__> hello? I cannot get my Wubi installer to start up. So cant even install ubuntu
[13:31] <behzad> any body help me ????
[13:32] <ikonia> gry: ok, that suggests network manager is having a little fight, hence the 60 second wait
[13:32] <ikonia> gry: do you need/want network manager /
[13:32] <gry> behzad: we can't help with 'a problem' but if you ask a full question that can change! :)
[13:32] <5EXAA310K> hey
[13:32] <piet> @sacarlson: it never asked for one... do i need one? because i have 4 already... :s
[13:33] <gry> ikonia: I would just need working networking and the networking applet I currently have; if networkmanager isn't needed for any of that, I can probably disable it
[13:33] <ikonia> gry: yeah, you can dump it
[13:33] <sacarlson> piet: if you have 4 you just need to select of the one you wish to install to,  remind you that the selection will delete all contents on that partition
[13:33] <Kenny__> I cannot get my Wubi installer to start up. So cant even install ubuntu. Any help?
[13:33] <gry> ikonia: could you probably send an URL to me about what its role/activity is, what does it do?
[13:34] <ikonia> gry: I'm assuming your prefered choice is to set the networking in the interface file
[13:34] <mi3> hello, I am getting 30-60 % cpu usage while browsing in firefox, I am not watching any flash videos, just scrolling web pages, I am using cairo-dock session with compiz enabled, any suggestions ?
[13:34] <ikonia> gry: I can try to dig one out for you, hang on
[13:34] <piet> i have none which can be deleted, all 4 have their proper use... can i only have 4?
[13:34] <behzad> I've installed new version of ubuntu 11.10, in my system,connecting to my Adsl is able using broad band connection by lan or wireless. I've created a connection there but I can't connect to internet. can you help me ???????
[13:34] <nelson8874> using onboard graphics on a P8Z68-V LX board. Ubuntu 12.04 beahaving strange. Some slowdowns and stuff. You know why?
[13:34] <NoVoteLoss> mi3 try different browsers and see if you have the same issues
[13:34] <sacarlson> Kenny__: might try live cd/usb boot instead of wubi
[13:34] <mi3> NoVoteLoss, ok
[13:34] <ikonia> gry: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager legacy article, but scanning it seems true now apart from it doesn't mention the dnsmasq setup
[13:34] <gry> ikonia: I need that file for the n900 interface but I do the desktop networking using the networking applet in xfce which I don't know what is named and what application it uses
[13:34] <gry> ikonia: many thanks
[13:34] <Kenny__> sacarlson: no go- no cd drive, and cannot boot USB
[13:35] <NoVoteLoss> mi3 happens to me too sometimes, im currently trying out like 4 browsers because of that
[13:35] <mi3> NoVoteLoss, err ok :D
[13:35] <ikonia> gry: in that case it maybe easier to just remove the non-n900 interface from network manager control
[13:35] <sacarlson> Kenny__: there is software to enable a system that doesn't support usb boot to enable usb boot you can try plop
[13:35] <NoVoteLoss> mi3 and i have the same dock, and it happened before the dock so it shouldnt be that
[13:35] <ptu> i can't shutdown system
[13:35] <mi3> NoVoteLoss, I am currently installing chromium, will tell you the cpu usage in a few moments :D
[13:35] <ptu> gksu halt not work
[13:35] <nelson8874> using onboard graphics on a P8Z68-V LX board. Ubuntu 12.04 beahaving strange. Some slowdowns and stuff. You know why?
[13:35] <ptu> shutdown not work too
[13:36] <ikonia> gry: sorry, remove the n900 interface from network manager control, not the non-n900 interface
[13:36] <Kenny__> sacarlson: used it before, forgot there was a way to use it without CD. Thanks
[13:36] <ptu> who can help me
[13:36] <ikonia> ptu: sudo shutdown -h now
[13:36] <patc> fira: sorry.. i'm back... yes I did install it with apt-get
[13:36] <NoVoteLoss> mi3 i hate chrome but it does seem to work better
[13:36] <ptu> ikonia: not work :(
[13:36] <mi3> NoVoteLoss, me too !
[13:36] <ikonia> ptu: define "not work"
[13:36] <NoVoteLoss> which is why im trying out a few others.
[13:36] <behzad> did you told to me ? that   in that case it maybe easier to just remove the non-n900 interface from network manager control??????
[13:36] <gry> ikonia: ok, I'll give it a read; I'm unaware what the nm control is but I'll try
[13:36] <ptu> ikonia: it show shutdown screen but nothing happen
[13:37] <ikonia> gry: it's basically the backend to the applet you use
[13:37] <ikonia> ptu: "shutdown screen" ?
[13:37] <nelson8874> using onboard graphics on a P8Z68-V LX board. Ubuntu 12.04 beahaving strange. Some slowdowns and stuff, mouse cursor behaving strange (slow and fast) You know why?
[13:37] <behzad> where is the non-n900 interface ?
[13:37] <mi3> NoVoteLoss, how many browsers have you tried, and which one gives you the lowest cpu usage, sir ?
[13:37] <ikonia> behzad: something gry is using
[13:37] <ptu> ikonia: a screen with logo ubuntu
[13:37] <gry> ikonia: oh, I won't want to remove the backend I guess - and the applet doesn't really have n900 so removng n900 from nm control doesn't really sound doable I'm afraid :)
[13:38] <ikonia> gry: ok, let me think on how to best manage this
[13:38] <NoVoteLoss> mi3, opera, chrome, firefox, iceweasel, midori(cant get to work that well) and konqueror
[13:38] <behzad> is any body there to help me ?????
[13:38] <ikonia> gry: I've seen similar things with "bluetooth" network devices in the past.
[13:38] <NoVoteLoss> mi3 and chrome wins :(
[13:38] <NoVoteLoss> but i hate it
[13:38] <mi3> NoVoteLoss, xD
[13:38] <NoVoteLoss> so im still trying and tweaking
[13:38] <rootkit> behzad: State your problem and someone will deal with it. Asking to ask is just a waste of everyones bandwidth.
[13:38] <NoVoteLoss> i really cant stand anything google
[13:39] <mi3> NoVoteLoss, can the cause of high cpu usage be compiz ?
[13:39] <ikonia> gry: in your network manager applet what interfaces do you see ?
[13:39] <nelson8874> using onboard graphics on a P8Z68-V LX board. Ubuntu 12.04 beahaving strange. Some slowdowns and stuff, mouse cursor behaving strange (slow and fast) You know why?
[13:39] <NoVoteLoss> mi3 i had it happen before compiz or any dock
[13:39] <gry> !network | behzad, please read a bit here (we would probably need more details on what happens; the guide gives troubleshooting guide info too):
[13:39] <mi3> NoVoteLoss, err ok
[13:39] <dancingbear> exit
[13:39] <gry> ikonia: autho eth0
[13:39] <gry> ikonia, auto eth0 **
[13:40] <ikonia> gry: check out (not sure if this is still valid on 11.10) /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[13:40] <ikonia> gry: ok, so dhcp on eth0 only
[13:40] <ikonia> gry: is the interfaces file configuing eth0 /
[13:40] <ikonia> ?
[13:40] <mi3> NoVoteLoss, have you tried some other distro ?
[13:40] <behzad> ok thanks , bye now,
[13:40] <Applesouce> Hey I want to install Ubuntu on the 500GB Partition? Should I only create root or also /home and how much should I give what partition?
[13:40] <NoVoteLoss> on this computer? yes
[13:40] <ikonia> Applesouce: up to you
[13:40] <gry> ikonia: http://pastebin.ca/2160859
[13:40] <mi3> NoVoteLoss, which one ?
[13:40] <NoVoteLoss> Crunchbang worked fine with no hangs mi3
[13:41] <nelson8874> using onboard graphics on a P8Z68-V LX board. Ubuntu 12.04 beahaving strange. Some slowdowns and stuff, mouse cursor behaving strange (slow and fast) You know why?
[13:41] <ikonia> gry: rats
[13:41] <mi3> NoVoteLoss, ok, did it give you high cpu usage ?
[13:41] <Applesouce> Well is there a adventage of devising into root and home
[13:41] <mi3> NoVoteLoss, while browsing, I mean
[13:41] <gnubie> ptu, ikonia   the bug report shows no been has been assigned yet. From a terminal sudo halt -p usually works or hold the laptop power button down for a few seconds.
[13:41] <gry> ikonia: feel free to stab me for upgrading ubuntu so it broke :) I should have installed it fresh when it had major releases as per the guides but I just upgraded anyway ;)
[13:41] <NoVoteLoss> mi3 not at all! other than watching like a youtube video or other streaming, general usage and browsing never brought CPU usage over 15-20% total
[13:42] <ikonia> gry: can we do a little test ?
[13:42] <gry> i could try
[13:42] <mi3> NoVoteLoss, sounds cool, sir !
[13:42] <Applesouce> Isnt home placed on root anyway so it would be the same on the end
[13:42] <ikonia> gry: change the line "managed=false" to "managed=true" put your details back in the interfaces file and bounce the box
[13:42] <ikonia> gry: if I'm correct it should boot without waiting
[13:43] <gry> ikonia: ok thanks, I will give that a try within 24 hours and give you a shout :)
[13:43] <ikonia> gry: I'd be interested in knowing
[13:43] <Meridious> Can anyone here explain High Availability and Load Balancing Clusters to me?
[13:43] <ikonia> Meridious: in what respect ?
[13:43] <ikonia> Meridious: they are services that never go down and distribute the load across multiple devices ?
[13:43] <ikonia> in what respect do you want to link that to ubuntu
[13:43] <Meridious> What are they, what do they do, how are they different?
[13:43] <Orian> Http://net-webradio.fr/?v=145
[13:44] <ikonia> Meridious: try ##networking
[13:44] <Orian> Http://net-webradio.fr/?v=145
[13:44] <Meridious> k
[13:44] <ikonia> Orian: please stop that
[13:44] <mi3> NoVoteLoss, its still downloading, hope you are with me, sir
[13:44] <Orian> ikonia › Oke tu parle français ?
[13:44] <ikonia> !fr | Orian
[13:44] <NoVoteLoss> mi3 yup for about another 20
[13:44] <fep> always when i drink three bottle of strong beer (alc. 8,2 vol) my system goes real slow, any tips or tricks to fix that?
[13:45] <mi3> NoVoteLoss, will take no more than 5 min :D
[13:45] <ikonia> fep: stop messing around, this is your only warning
[13:45] <fep> ikonia: sorry, wont repeat that
[13:45] <ikonia> thank you
[13:46] <chintanparikh> Hey all, I'm having an issue with dual monitors in Ubuntu
[13:46] <chintanparikh> I have them set up fine via AMD Catalyst Center, but Ubuntu is no longer snappy/responsive
[13:46] <fep> i have a new minilaptop with a c-60 (amd) in it.. i tried to install wubi and it went real slow. will it go smoother with an original standard installation?
[13:46] <adamk> chintanparikh: Pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file.
[13:47] <chintanparikh> Like, I'll type, and it'll come up half a second later. Same with when I switch tabs and pretty much all actions
[13:47] <zenguy_vm> account add oscar jfalpha family login.messaging.aol.com
[13:47] <zenguy_vm> account on
[13:47] <chintanparikh> adamk, two seconds
[13:48] <bieb> jrib: ok.. the startup doesn't work. so I opened a command prompt and tried to launch the program at /usr/local/bin and here is the result:  http://pastebin.com/61Bh2uYe
[13:48] <d0x> Hi, does someone know a channel where i can ask wich datasource maxmind.com has?
[13:49] <d0x> to get the geo location
[13:49] <jrib> bieb: this is an issue with your script
[13:49] <bieb> jrib:  looks like java isnt on the server, but it is.. I installed java
[13:49] <jrib> bieb: pastebin your script
[13:50] <mi3> NoVoteLoss, incredible, I tried a few pages on chromium, and the cpu usage sticks below 30%
[13:50] <bieb> jrib: ok.. it is the script that comes from the software company
[13:50] <mi3> err NoVoteLoss ?
[13:51] <NoVoteLoss> mi3 still here.
[13:51] <fep> ikonia: do you know anything about if ubuntu will run faster when installed standard instead of wubi installation?
[13:51] <mi3> NoVoteLoss, ok, I told you :D, so now ?
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> fep full install should be faster then wubi
[13:52] <ikonia> fep: my personal view is yes, I don't believe in the concept of wubi personally, the official answer may differ
[13:52] <judgen> fep, it will have better access time as it does not have to run through the by now very old NTFS filesystem of windows.
[13:52] <chintanparikh> adamk: http://pastebin.com/BzaVEdpv
[13:53] <judgen> but the CPU or GPU speeds should not be affected. But swapping will be slower
[13:53] <bieb> jrib: here is the script:  http://pastebin.com/h9rXNHUR
[13:55] <ruff3r> Is there a bug with thunderbird and unity? If I open thunderbird I get a new Symbol in the sidebar instead of the dot?
[13:55] <adamk> chintanparikh: Nothing jumps out at me as being particularly bad in there.  Does this problem happen if you don't use any compositing?
[13:56] <mi3> NoVoteLoss, ??
[13:56] <chintanparikh> Compositing?
[13:56] <chintanparikh> As in dual screens?
[13:56] <judgen> chintanparikh, no as in 3D enabled desktop.
[13:56] <mi3> hello, I am getting 30-60 % cpu usage while browsing in firefox, I am not watching any flash videos, just scrolling web pages, I am using cairo-dock session with compiz enabled, any suggestions ?
[13:56] <chintanparikh> I'm not too sure, how would I check?
[13:57] <ruff3r> forget I asked. just added it to the launcher again
[13:57] <myhero> when i am installing vlc media player from software center it is installing with its icon in launcher but when i am installing vlc offline fron the debs copied from the cache it is installing fine and working fine also but without its icon in launcher.....is there anything wrong or i am doing it wrongly ?
[13:58] <jrib> myhero: where did you get the deb?
[13:59] <sgp913> Hi all, on my 11.04 install, apt-get decided to update my nvidia drivers for my ION-based htpc and now after bootup the screen will go blank (no signal over hdmi) after about 30 seconds, sometimes more, sometimes less. I reinstalled 12.04 as well as XMBC Live to see if it would make a difference, but nothing has changed. I've googled for a bit but nobody seems to have the same issue. Any advice on where to begin? I've already updated
[13:59] <myhero> jrib: i copied the debs fron the cache when i previously installed it from software center.....
[14:00] <sacarlson> myhero: if the old one works can't you just add it to the launcher?
[14:00] <myhero> sacarlson: means
[14:01] <sacarlson> myhero: maybe I don't understand what a launcher is?
[14:01] <myhero> i copied the debs frm var/cache/apt/archives
[14:01] <myhero> i copied the debs frm /var/cache/apt/archives
[14:02] <sacarlson> myhero: I thought you could add any application you wanted to the launcher to make it easy to start
[14:02] <Japser> Hi can someone help me with my tv card, it makes my kernel crash?!
[14:03] <bieb> jrib: anything look odd in that script?
[14:03] <sacarlson> Japser: i've had one tv card that only works in one of the two slots in my computer I guess some kind of irq conflict
[14:03] <hanke> @Darminsurvivor: Disk check was fine (no problems found). I reinstalled again (now with a 10Gb partition in front like my original 10.04 had) The 10.04 was working flawlessly and i could imagine a harddisk problem somewhere, but this also did NOT solve the problem. I still have a 12.04 that will ask me to login but after i supply the correct password, the system will 'hang' (i am still able to move the mouse) and after a long while i get a message
[14:03] <KLK239> Hi!
[14:03] <Japser> sacarlson: I have only one pci slot!
[14:04] <myhero> sacarlson: yeah i can add manually but previously when installed through software center it got added to launcher by itself and now doing manually it is not adding....i m running live 12.04 and whenever i boot i install it manually thatsy....
[14:05] <myhero> jrib: ???
[14:06] <myhero> ikonia: u there ?
[14:06] <Japser> Please can some expert tell me why my kernel crashes when i put my tv tuner in my computer?
[14:06] <sacarlson> myhero: I still run 10.04 i'm not an expert at 12.04 with unity,  it's just a few clicks away on 10.04 to add to apps to the pannel for quick start,  it keeps even after reboot.  another reason for me not to upgrade to 12.04 I guess
[14:07] <nelson8874> having problems wit P8Z68-V LX motherboard. Am i the only one?
[14:08] <sacarlson> myhero: maybe try the ppa for VLC, but I also tried that and it didn't work with the android remote control anymore,  so if that's not important to you then?
[14:09] <ikonia> myhero: what ?
[14:09] <myhero> i copied the debs frm var/cache/apt/archivesthing needs to be updated and installed...
[14:09] <myhero> ikonia: how r u....
[14:10] <ikonia> myhero: I'm fine ? what do you want ?
[14:10] <Dj_FlyBy> So I had a power surge at my house yesterday due to a storm. I wasn't home at the time and when I got home my computer was turned off from the surge. Now when I turn it on it gets to the point where it "appears" to be loading (The coloured dots) but does not pass this point. What could be wrong?
[14:10] <myhero> how to save the apps installed through software center ?
[14:10] <nelson8874> having problems wit P8Z68-V LX motherboard. Am i the only one?
[14:11] <Meridious> Dj_Flyby: I bet it is because the OS did not shut down properly
[14:11] <ikonia> what do you mean save them ?
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> !clone | myhero
[14:11] <Meridious> Dj_Flyby: try booting into recovery mode
[14:11] <Meridious> Dj_Flyby: through grub
[14:11] <sacarlson> Dj_FlyBy: It could be running the fsck to test your drives after a bad shutdown it might take some time depending on size of disk
[14:12] <sacarlson> Dj_FlyBy: oh but that should be displayed
[14:12] <myhero> ikonia: means i run live 12.04 from usb so when i boot everything installed is gone so i want to save whatever i install so that next time i can install them manually so as saving time and more importantly the limited bandwidth....
[14:12] <freedomrun> is it possible to publish an folder in Obuntu One?
[14:13] <Dj_FlyBy> Meridious, how does one get to that grub menu?
[14:13] <ikonia> myhero: I don't really recommend that option, you need to download the debs and all their dependencies to do that, and it's just not worth it, just use a proper install or look at a persistant install
[14:14] <myhero> ikonia: what do u mean by proper and persistant ?
[14:14] <Meridious> Dj_Flyby: It should always pop up after your computer displays its BIOS stuff
[14:14] <kael_> hi
[14:14] <Dj_FlyBy> Meridious, nope... it just goes to the screen to load Ubuntu... never seen grub once
[14:15] <ikonia> myhero: proper = install to disk
[14:15] <Meridious> Dj_Flyby: if not, press the key to select a boot device at boot, and select your drive with the ubuntu install
[14:15] <ikonia> myhero: persistant = live CD with persistant disk based storage
[14:15] <myhero> ikonia
[14:15] <Meridious> Dj_Flyby: this might force it to display
[14:15] <myhero> ikonia: plz throw some light on persistant
[14:15] <Meridious> Dj_Flyby: not entirely sure here
[14:15] <Dj_FlyBy> Meridious, nope, just went to the little dots to load the os
[14:16] <ikonia> !persistant | myhero
[14:16] <Meridious> Dj_Flyby: hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
[14:18] <myhero> ikonia: also what i usually do is whenever i install any app from software center then its debs get downloaded to /var/cache/apt/archives so i copy these debs to other usb and then next time when i boot live i install these copied debs sudo dpkg -E -G -i <directory>/*.deb
[14:18] <sacarlson> Dj_FlyBy: might try hold the shift key at boot to get to the grub menu and try select the rescue mode as an option if it fails to boot
[14:19] <alpi_bel> !ru
[14:20] <myhero> !hi
[14:20] <ikonia> myhero: so what's the problem ?
[14:22] <myhero> doing this way vlc media player is running fine but its installing without its icon in launcher....xine-ui is showing some errors for dependency but when installed after vlc then it also is installing fine....ubuntu restricted extras is showing some errors for flash....
[14:23] <myhero> ikonia: doing this way vlc media player is running fine but its installing without its icon in launcher....xine-ui is showing some errors for dependency but when installed after vlc then it also is installing fine....ubuntu restricted extras is showing some errors for flash....
[14:23] <sacarlson> myhero: your method of installing will not always bring in all the dependancies
[14:24] <jrib> bieb: does this script work anywhere?  Seems like there are some relative paths in there...
[14:25] <myhero_> sacarlson: any way to make offline deb which install fine....with all the files and dependencies....
[14:25] <sdfsd64> sup 'ma niggaz:)
[14:25] <myhero_> any way to keep all the installed apps with all the dependencies....
[14:26] <sacarlson> myhero_:  I've created local repository to make things load faster but seems you need to just setup persistance
[14:26] <opp4> hi!!!
[14:27] <myhero_> sacarlson: how have you ccreated local repos ?
[14:27] <sacarlson> myhero_: you should be asking how do I setup persistance as given to you above
[14:28] <sacarlson> myhero_: a local repository is used to install the same software sytem group onto a group of computers
[14:28] <myhero_> sacarlson: brother i know that learned that b4....but right now i cant install os to disk coz hdd got crashed....so i m running live
[14:28] <jondoe2> I switched apparmor for selinux earlier, but it didn't work well with ubuntu, so I changed back to apparmor but now I get "AppArmor not available as kernel LSM. [fail]"
[14:28] <jondoe2> what's wrong?
[14:29] <myhero_> sacarlson: yeah how to create local.....
[14:29] <sacarlson> myhero_: you have a usb drive don't you?  with that you can setup persistance
[14:30] <myhero_> sacarlson: yeah
[14:33] <sacarlson> myhero: I've never done it so I'm no expert but you might try reading about it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence
[14:33] <Jonii_> Hey, can I get two separate logins, with unity and stuff, open at the same time, using this ctrl+alt+f<number> separate login thing
[14:33] <myhero> sacarlson: ok...
[14:33] <SunSoul> Since Ubuntu 12.04 does not boot with support for EFI, does me creating a FAT32 Partition, labeling it /EFI, matter, in order to isntall grub with EFI support?
[14:33] <myhero> ikonia: u there brother...
[14:33] <crazypete> after installing openbox and setting nodm to load openbox-session, I get "broken pipe" errors and the console and gui is "mixed". How do I fix this?
[14:34] <ikonia> myhero: yes why ?
[14:34] <gigihothot> i installed google sitemap generator but I can't find where is the app
[14:34] <gigihothot> can anyone help
[14:35] <myhero> ikonia: the wi-fi card driver compiling didnt work....it was way too long step for a noob like me....i left it all in between after headache
[14:35] <ikonia> myhero: I didn't think it would work, hence the warnings I gave you
[14:37] <bieb> jrib: hasnt worked on 12.04.. but worked fine in 10.04
[14:37] <Jonii_> what is the google-name for those ctrl+alt+f<number> things?
[14:37] <myhero> ikonia: yeah i read it all but that time i didnt had any choice or alternative ...i wanted to make it work...after that i googled n the most working quote which i found was that the user replaced his broadcom card with intel after fighting with the card for 15 days
[14:37] <jrib> bieb: you should sort that out first
[14:37] <sacarlson> gigihothot: if it was loaded from the repository you should from synaptic right click on the package you installed and view the file list of path of each file in the package
