[06:35] <cdj> *sigh* why do I always keep losing my flash drives... I swear it was on the table a minute before
[06:36] <mi3> hi Chipzzz you there?
[06:37] <mi3> ohh he left, can someone suggest how can I open my png/jpg files with picasa photo viewer instead of gnome image viewer?
[06:38] <cisers> http://pastie.org/2708457
[06:38] <CFHowlett> mi3    system>preferences>preferred applications
[06:38] <CFHowlett> cisers   please stop
[06:39] <Blue1> I can't get ubuntu to properly display foreign characters like japanese.  How can I fix this?
[06:39] <DropsOfSerenity> mi3, right click properties -> open with -> set as default, if it's not there show other applications
[06:39] <Blue1> CFHowlett: he's doint this on #debian as well
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> possible1994: not sure, i've alwas used platter based drives
[06:39] <CFHowlett> Blue1    my vote is kick - but I'm not a mod...
[06:40] <Blue1> CFHowlett: ditto
[06:40] <zykotick9> Blue1: and you, you're having the same issue on both debian and ubuntu
[06:40] <Blue1> zykotick9: yes
[06:40] <mi3> CFHowlett tried that option but it directly opens picasa gallery instead of photo viewer , DropsOfSerenity, I looked into that option 1st but that option is not there
[06:40] <possible1994> ActionParsnip,  You should get an SSD, it makes an incredible difference, but I know you knew that. I'm out anyway take care.
[06:40]  * CFHowlett *adds cisers to "ignore" for eternity"*
[06:41] <linus> where are the settings from display settings saved?
[06:41] <linus> there is no more xorg.conf
[06:41] <DropsOfSerenity> mi3, you are using unity 11.10?
[06:41] <linus> the settings the xrandr load on startup have to be saved somewhere
[06:41] <zykotick9> linus: no xorg.conf "by default"
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> yeah, my web browsing will be so much different considering its all in RAM which is faster than SSD. Go figure
[06:41] <bobo37773> linus: just create one
[06:41] <Blue1> pc205-net193.mgmt.ucalgary.ca/<IP_ADDRESS>
[06:42] <linus> I know there is no xorg.conf by default.
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> linus: if xorg.conf exists, it will be obeyed
[06:42] <linus> so when you change the settings where are they saved?
[06:42] <L3top> xorg -config I think... but you want to just know how it is working now?
[06:42] <L3top> might be --config
[06:42] <L3top> cant remember
[06:42] <linus> there is no xorg.conf
[06:42] <linus> you dont need it
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> linus: there can be
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> linus: I do
[06:43] <mi3> DropsOfSerenit, I use natty [gnome classic, no effects]
[06:43]  * L3top definitely needs it
[06:43] <L3top> lol
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> linus: if your monitor doesn't play nice then you will need one to tell the display how to use the hardware
[06:43] <linus> ok if you are using a propritary driver you need it
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> linus: yes proprietary driver
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> linus: "06:42 < linus> you dont need it"
[06:44] <linus> I just want to change the settings xrandr runs when you start a session
[06:44] <CFHowlett> blue1 you wanted kanji characters ??
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> linus: my screen sets DPI at something silly like 2000 x 2000 at 1940x1024 res, makes the text HUGE and the windows controls teeny tiny, so I NEED xorg.conf to set the DPI to someting sane so I can use the OS
[06:45] <L3top> locate xrander ?
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> xrandr
[06:45] <fAz4> where can i check libre office log files ?
[06:45] <L3top> yes
[06:45] <L3top> ty
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> fAz4: possibly in ~/.libreoffice  someplace
[06:46] <Blue1> CFHowlett: yes
[06:46] <mi3> CFHowlett any suggestions?
[06:46] <Blue1> CFHowlett: fwiw - I report cisers to the admin contacts at ucalgary
[06:47] <CFHowlett> Blue1   see http://paste.ubuntu.com/856225/
[06:47] <fAz4> ubuntu logouts while working in libreoffice !!!!
[06:47] <fAz4> im in 11.04
[06:47] <CFHowlett> mi3 suggestions for what?
[06:47] <bobo37773> fAz4: Does X crash?
[06:48] <bobo37773> fAz4: Just look at xorg log
[06:48] <L3top> might look around in /var/log fAz4
[06:48] <cisers> Who is cisers?
[06:48] <fAz4> ok
[06:48] <mi3> suggestions for opening jpg files in picasa instead of default image viewer?
[06:48] <bobo37773> fAz4: maybe even dmesg
[06:48] <fAz4> bobo37773: didnt found anything on dmesg
[06:49] <urfr332gO> cisers, you lost yourself. :)
[06:49] <bobo37773> fAz4: you mean nothing at all?
[06:49] <CFHowlett> mi3   ah - right.  My suggestion didn't pan out.  Sorry.  Looking into it.
[06:49] <zykotick9> mi3: does picasa except filenames?  from a terminal can you run "picasa /path/to/file"?
[06:50] <fAz4>  bobo37773: no, about crashes
[06:50] <bobo37773> fAz4: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:50] <CFHowlett> mi3 try looking at properties on your jpg and set the opening program to picasa?
[06:50] <shan> hi
[06:50] <shan> 各位好
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> fAz4: try closing all libreoffice apps, renaming ~/.libreoffice and retrying the app
[06:50] <shan> 有中国的么？
[06:50] <shan> 呵呵
[06:50] <CFHowlett> !cn|shan
[06:51] <shan> ok
[06:51] <mi3> wait let me try that
[06:51] <fAz4> ActionParsnip: just while scaling the images, it crashes
[06:51] <shan> thank you
[06:51] <shan> !cn|shan
[06:52] <Blue1> CFHowlett: yeah the message about the chinese channel looks like dominoes with numbers just now.
[06:52] <shan> how to
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> fAz4: if you make a new ubuntu user, is it the same?
[06:52] <CFHowlett> Blue1   so my suggestion didn't work?
[06:52] <mi3> ohh man it opens the picasa suite instead of the image viewer CFHowlett!
[06:52] <rymate1234> shan, copy /join #ubuntu-cn into text box
[06:52] <Blue1> CFHowlett: I missed the suggestion.  let me scroll back.
[06:52] <CFHowlett> Blue1   fwiw, at least in irc, I see the chinese characters.
[06:53] <fAz4> ActionParsnip: yeah, i dont know where find crashes log !
[06:53] <shan> thanks rymate1234
[06:53] <CFHowlett> Blue1   http://paste.ubuntu.com/856225/
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> fAz4: which libreoffice version and which release?
[06:53] <bobo37773> fAz4: Test with a non compositing (less compositing) window manager if you can. What version of ubuntu are you using?
[06:53] <fAz4> ActionParsnip: 11.04  , LibreOffice 3.3.2
[06:54] <fAz4> im on gnome classic with no effect
[06:54] <bobo37773> fAz4: hmm metacity? no compiz or anything?
[06:54] <fAz4> nothing
[06:55] <mi3> fAz4, have you tried updating your office suite?
[06:55] <Blue1> CFHowlett: installing now
[06:55] <fAz4> mi3: in fact i want to know the reason than solving it !
[06:55] <fAz4> logging out is odd !!
[06:55] <bobo37773> fAz4: Did you look at your xorg log
[06:56] <fAz4>  fAz4:  i'll post it
[06:56] <mi3> does it crash while opening a specific file or just opening a blank document? fAz4
[06:56] <ranjan> Hi all, anyone here sucessfully using any of the Linux Distro with HP dv4-3015tx with Raedon and Intel Hybrid Graphics technology
[06:56] <fAz4> mi3:  just on scaling images
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> fAz4: could try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[06:57] <Blue1> !jp
[06:57] <Blue1> CFHowlett: works great@!  日本語の場合は
[06:57] <CFHowlett> Blue1    looks like kanji to me and I added no software to my ubuntu
[06:57] <ActionParsnip> ranjan: amd have said they will not be supporting anything but windows
[06:57] <ActionParsnip> ranjan: could try ironhide
[06:57] <curiousx> aloha
[06:58] <Blue1> CFHowlett: I will add that to pkill-9.com and properly credit you.
[06:58] <curiousx> i have a problem =P
[06:58] <bobo37773> fAz4: May be related to java. I have had quite a few java related crashes in the past
[06:58] <bobo37773> curiousx: Tell us
[06:58] <rymate1234> ActionParsnip: where did they say that? D:
[06:58] <CFHowlett> Blue1   sent you a PM special
[06:58] <fAz4> bobo37773: not sure, http://paste.ubuntu.com/856232/
[06:58] <ajnabicancer> Hi
[06:58] <Blue1> CFHowlett: loved it thanks
[06:58] <ajnabicancer> i need help
[06:59] <CFHowlett> blue1 no worries mate
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> rymate1234: "http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NjM3Mw"
[06:59] <mi3> umm CFHowlett?
[06:59] <Blue1> me thinks he is gone
[06:59] <CFHowlett> mi3   yes still no solution to that
[06:59] <curiousx> i tried to install the nfs server but no succes, and now i uninstalled it but the nfs modules still loading at boot start =(
[06:59] <ajnabicancer> Can i get some help here about "signal out of range" after installing Nvidia drivers
[07:00] <ajnabicancer> Anyone????....
[07:00] <rymate1234> olol
[07:00] <mi3> ok, will need to stay with the default viewer then but thanks for the time
[07:00] <curiousx> y blacklist them in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[07:00] <mi3> ok, will need to stay with the default viewer then but thanks for the time CFHowlett
[07:00] <ranjan> ActionParsnip: ironhide ? what is that?
[07:00] <ActionParsnip> ranjan: go find out
[07:00] <ajnabicancer> Can i get some help here about "signal out of range" after installing Nvidia drivers
[07:01] <curiousx> and i remove any start up link doing: update-rc.d -f nfs-kernel-server remove but the same =P
[07:01] <CFHowlett> mi3 sorry we couldn't config that the  way you wanted
[07:01] <ajnabicancer> Ubuntu
[07:01] <bobo37773> fAz4: Nothing that jumps at me there. Which java are you running? Go into the options of libreoffice and disable java completely and see if that avoids the crash
[07:01] <curiousx> any idea ?
[07:02] <mi3> its ok CFHowlett maybe image viewer is good for me [for now] thanks for your  time
[07:02] <CFHowlett> mi3 have fun/be safe
[07:02] <mi3> yeah thanks
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> bobo37773: a good point :)
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> fAz4: could disable java, see if it helps
[07:02] <ajnabicancer> CFHowlett: Can i get some help about "signal out of range" after installing Nvidia drivers
[07:02] <fAz4> bobo37773:  ok, thanks for help
[07:03] <bobo37773> ActionParsnip: Yeah java was crashing my openbox for the longest time
[07:03] <ActionParsnip> fAz4: I always disable java in libreoffice as well as give it more ram to work with
[07:03] <ActionParsnip> bobo37773: <3 openbox
[07:03] <fAz4> i'll check that
[07:03] <curiousx> ActionParsnip: i <3 fluxbox =)
[07:03] <bobo37773> ActionParsnip: Yeah I tried to get away a few times. Looks like I am bonded to it now haha
[07:03] <ajnabicancer> Can i get some help here about "signal out of range" after installing Nvidia drivers
[07:04] <bobo37773> fAz4: Try it and let us know
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> ajnabicancer: you may need to run:  nvidia-xconfig    in root recovery mode
[07:04] <curiousx> i like puupy with fluxbox v2 here my own screenshots: http://paste.ubuntu.com/851048/
[07:06] <`Korvin> how can I define the file name in grep
[07:06] <`Korvin> I'm trying to only search php files
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> curiousx: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/Desktop.png my lxde config
[07:06] <ajnabicancer> ActionParsnip: i actually run that command
[07:06] <CFHowlett> ajnabicancer   sorry, IDK enough about configuring video to be of any help with synch issues.
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> `Korvin: find -iname "*.php" -exec grep foo {} \;
[07:07] <bobo37773> curiousx: There is a tool called "rconf" (think thats what its called). That is what I used to use in debian. See if it shows up in that tool
[07:07] <ajnabicancer> ActionParsnip: Let me tell you what i did, Bcoz i'm newbie.
[07:07] <curiousx> or... have any of you nfs working properly ? i follow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto but nothing =(
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> ajnabicancer: k
[07:07] <`Korvin> ActionParsnip, it's --include=*.php
[07:07] <CFHowlett> ActionParsnip   looks good...
[07:07] <curiousx> ActionParsnip: ill see it
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> `Korvin: if grep can do it, why not :)
[07:08] <curiousx> bobo37773: rconf ? mmm... il see it thank
[07:09] <ajnabicancer> ActionParsnip: after installing Nvidia drivers i got error of signals out of range then i tried some commands to get it back to normal mode. i installed Startup manager and try a trick ALT+CTRL - or + to change resolution
[07:09] <bobo37773> curiousx: Yeah I needed something easy when building a guiless os for someone a while back. It works well. ncurses if I remember right
[07:10] <ajnabicancer> ActionParsnip: Then some editing in lines "grub_cmdline_linux=nomodeset".........blah blah :)
[07:10] <ajnabicancer> sudo update grub
[07:10] <zykotick9> bobo37773: curiousx it's rcconf - but i don't know if you should be using that with ubuntu
[07:10] <curiousx> oh! thanks, yeah! i'd see a tool gui based and its PPA but i dont remember where xD
[07:11] <ajnabicancer> ActionParsnip: i run this command Nvidia-xconfig and it made a backup file.
[07:11] <bobo37773> curiousx: There is one called "bum" boot up manager too.
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> ajnabicancer: fine, run:  reboot    does it help
[07:12] <ajnabicancer> ActionParsnip: Nope
[07:12] <curiousx> i think the all issue is due to my 3.2.5 kernel =(: Linux bt 3.2.5-030205-generic-pae #201202061401 SMP Mon Feb 6 19:19:46 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> ajnabicancer: press CTRL+ALT+F1, do you get a prompt
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> curiousx: 3,2 kernel is not supported here
[07:12] <ajnabicancer> no i didn't try that
[07:12] <linus> ~/.config/monitors.xml
[07:12] <curiousx> ActionParsnip: ups! i didnt know it =P
[07:13] <curiousx> anyway thanks bobo37773 if i find the tool that i was writing about i'll tell ya xD
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> curiousx: using precise?
[07:13] <ajnabicancer> ActionParsnip: do i need to try CTRL+ALT+F1 ?
[07:13] <curiousx> nop, usin 10.4 Backtrack... yep i know BT is not supported here xD
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> curiousx: right again, the kernel isn't suitable for Lucid either
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> curiousx: if you know its not supported here, why ask..
[07:14] <bobo37773> curiousx: So you are trying to set up a file server on a root box?
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> ajnabicancer: wait a little while after you see the messsage and then press it
[07:15] <curiousx> bobo37773: yes
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> curiousx: backtrack is NOT for daily use, its a network tool. Its not for web browsing and checking your emails withj
[07:16] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: That's not really what it's for... it's for pentetration testing.
[07:16] <bobo37773> curiousx: so whats the problem? should work fine.
[07:16] <theadmin> Either way, curiousx, backtrack support is in #backtrack-linux not here
[07:16] <curiousx> ActionParsnip i dont agree at all, its comes with a los of servers preinstalled but... maybe you rights xD
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: does "its a network tool" not cover that?
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> curiousx: either way, its not supported here
[07:17] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Well, oh, wait, I didn't notice the "NOT for web browsing" (the not part), sorry
[07:18] <curiousx> bobo37773: i dont know why but "nfs-kernel-server" dosent install properly, its say dpkg return code 1
[07:19] <curiousx> and i installed via offical repositories, not PPA or .deb, that the strange
[07:20] <curiousx> iand when i do "sudo service nfs-kernel-server start" it never start up, its say "failed"
[07:20] <bobo37773> curiousx: yeah not sure. I will never use backtrack again probably. There is a good change it is backtrack specific as they do many tweaks to the system. You may want to ask on there irc ir maybe even forums
[07:20] <curiousx> i google it but no wey
[07:20] <ajnabicancer> ActionParsnip: bro, i used CTRL+ALT+F1 and it sure went to @ubuntu$
[07:20] <bobo37773> curiousx: chance*
[07:20] <NyLes> how to downgrade kernel?
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> NyLes: hold shift at boot and choose the older kernel
[07:21] <urfr332gO> NyLes, you only have one what do you actually mean?
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> ajnabicancer: ok then you can run:  less /var/log/Xorg.0.log     and see what is going on.
[07:22] <curiousx> bobo37773: yeah! good idea, but its not issue related to BT, when i google it the issue, i found the same issue on Debian, but i'll check no BT channel and forum
[07:22] <ActionParsnip> urfr332gO: probably has a few, the old kernels are not removed during upgrades
[07:22] <Lynx_> Hi all! Where can PATH be set globally, except for /etc/profile and /etc/environment? I installed some software that changed the PATH, but I can't find out where it's set.
[07:22] <ajnabicancer> ActionParsnip: i actually don't know what is going on & can'
[07:22] <theadmin> Lynx_: /etc/bash.bashrc ?
[07:22] <ajnabicancer> ActionParsnip: i actually don't know what is going on & can't figure it.
[07:22] <ActionParsnip> Lynx_: did it add it in ~/.bashrc ?
[07:22] <bobo37773> NyLes: is the older version you want in the repos? why do you want to downgrade anyways?
[07:22] <ActionParsnip> ajnabicancer: just look for (ww) and (EE)
[07:22] <urfr332gO> ActionParsnip, thats what I was thinking or they actually want one out of the distro.
[07:22] <curiousx> i found on Debian a solution installing "rcpbind" instead of "portmap"
[07:22] <riad_shourov> hello... i've installed ubuntu 11.10 from command line install in alternate-cd. then i installed xorg manually with apt-get . but i cannot boot through grub without the recovery mode.what should i do?
[07:23] <ajnabicancer> ActionParsnip: Can i run those command without restarting my pc. i mean can i run it through xp
[07:23] <curiousx> they say that portmap doesent support ipv6 but, thanks time to google angain xD
[07:23] <NyLes> urfr332gO: i don't understand your question..
[07:23] <bobo37773> curiousx: yeah maybe. also check your version in the repos and see if can build a newer version
[07:24] <NyLes> bobo37773: because i want to install a ppa that requires 2.6.32-34 kernel and mine has 2.6.32.-38
[07:24] <curiousx> i'll do bobo37773 =)
[07:24] <bobo37773> NyLes: What is the ppa?
[07:24] <urfr332gO> NyLes, you want a kernel not installed in the release or just a earlier one still on the computer?
[07:25] <ajnabicancer> ActionParsnip: Can i check that log with in the windows
[07:25] <zykotick9> !ppa | bobo37773

[07:25] <bobo37773> zykotick9: Thanks. I meant specifically the ppa in question though.
[07:26] <zykotick9> bobo37773: sorry, saw "what is a" vs. what you really wrong "what is the"
[07:26] <bobo37773> zykotick9: No worries. I get it
[07:26] <urfr332gO> NyLes, so what do you mean by download a kernel is the actual question?
[07:26] <urfr332gO> NyLes, I meant downgrade
[07:27] <NyLes> urfr332gO: yeah.. from 32-38 to 32-34..
[07:27] <urfr332gO> NyLes, why?
[07:27] <Lynx_> theadmin: no, it's not there either, weird.
[07:28] <bobo37773> NyLes: What is the program or feature that you need? Are you having audio problems?
[07:28] <theadmin> Lynx_: Hm... No idea honestly >.<
[07:28] <i_is_broke> ok how do i get this netgear wireless usb adapter to work with 11.10. its the bcm43231 chipset.

[07:30] <urfr332gO> NyLes, you miss this on the ppa  NyLes>
[07:30] <bobo37773> NyLes: Hmm. Have you tryed updating your kernel instead of downgrading and seeing if maybe the alsa modules you need are built into a newer version
[07:30] <urfr332gO> NyLes, linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.38 20 weeks ago
[07:31] <NyLes> urfr332gO: so i cant downlaod it anymore?
[07:31] <urfr332gO> NyLes, I see with a quick look builds for precise I didn't look at what exactlt.
[07:31] <NyLes> bobo37773: ok upgrading is fine as long as the sound will work :/
[07:31] <urfr332gO> NyLes, no that a build was made 20 weeks ago.
[07:31] <bobo37773> NyLes: Is that something you tried already?
[07:32] <bobo37773> NyLes: does alsa pick up your sound card at all?
[07:33] <NyLes> bobo37773: yeah i think. i tried every article i see but none seems to solve my problem..
[07:33] <NyLes> bobo37773: aplay -l results with no soundcards found,
[07:33] <NyLes> bobo37773: but in puppy linux it works smoothly..
[07:33] <bobo37773> NyLes: What are the kernel version differences between the two?
[07:34] <bobo37773> NyLes: Did you try alsaconf ?
[07:34] <NyLes> bobo37773: hmmm, with puppy and ubuntu?
[07:35] <bobo37773> NyLes: yeah
[07:35] <NyLes> bobo37773: alsaconf command not found.. ahhh, i don't know? i think it has something to do with how the modules  are compiled..
[07:38] <ajnabicancer> I need help "signal out of range"
[07:39] <bobo37773> NyLes: hmm. You may want to compare your module blacklist settings between the two as well
[07:40] <humungulous> !wifi
[07:40] <NyLes> bobo37773: yeah i've done that, nothing is different, one thing different is every boot, ubuntu shows ALSA intel8x0 codec_ready: codec is not ready [0x300000]
[07:40] <bobo37773> ajnabicancer: Did you look at your xorg.conf to make sure it is set up right?
[07:41] <ajnabicancer> bobo37773: i don't know anything? how to do that
[07:42] <totesmuhgoats> ajnabicancer: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:42] <bobo37773> ajnabicancer: Do you have a file located at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:43] <bobo37773> ajnabicancer: What kind of video card do you have?
[07:43] <ajnabicancer> bobo37773: i can't get to that file
[07:43] <ajnabicancer> bobo37773: Nvidia
[07:43] <bobo37773> ajnabicancer: Are you using the closed source drivers?
[07:44] <L3top> which nvidia card/chipset?
[07:44] <ajnabicancer> i am using ubuntu
[07:44] <bobo37773> ajnabicancer: if you run -->   sudo nvidia-settings     from a terminal does it open a program
[07:44] <L3top> lspci | grep -i vga
[07:44] <ajnabicancer> yes it does
[07:44] <Paijo> Ajnabicancer, tell your vga card spec.
[07:44] <L3top> sorry...
[07:45] <bobo37773> ajnabicancer: ok can you create the settings you want there?
[07:45] <soreau> ajnabicancer: Did you install the proprietary driver or are you using the default nouveau?
[07:46] <ajnabicancer> I installed nvidia-173
[07:46] <bobo37773> soreau: he is using proprietary
[07:46] <soreau> bobo37773: How do you know that?
[07:47] <bobo37773> soreau: Because he has nvidia-settings application
[07:47] <ajnabicancer> i did installed the drivers and not using Nouveau
[07:47] <soreau> ajnabicancer: So what's the problem?
[07:47] <brkolog>  anyone knows how to see what directory vsftpd uses as root?
[07:48] <bobo37773> ajnabicancer: second tab down called "X server display configuration"
[07:48] <humungulous> brkolog: by default /etc/vsftpd.conf
[07:49] <bobo37773> ajnabicancer: Make your changes and then click the "Save to X configuration file" button. Then reboot. See if that works. It will create an xorg for you
[07:49] <humungulous> brkolog: by default (it would be set within) /etc/vsftpd.conf
[07:49] <brkolog> humungulous: thanks, I'll look again, didn't find it in that file before
[07:50] <trishxo> how to always run a program in the terminal? (downloaded world of goo, can only play if started in the terminal.
[07:50] <chown_> i just got started to using ubuntu, is there a wayi find my apps? and could sort of group them all together, like shortcuts on desktop?
[07:50] <theadmin> trishxo: gnome-terminal -e '/path/to/program'
[07:50] <bobo37773> trishxo: try using cd in your scipt to launch it
[07:50] <humungulous> brkolog: it's probably going to be /var/ftp/
[07:51] <chown_> Or if there is a folder where they stay... i dunno. I just want to look at them cuz i dont know their names yet
[07:51] <ajnabicancer> bobo3773: how to make changes
[07:52] <cdj> bleh, compiz crashed twice in 2 hours on precise
[07:52] <bobo37773> ajnabicancer: Are your monitors detected?
[07:52] <humungulous> chown_: poke around in /bin/ and /usr/bin/
[07:52] <trishxo> bobo37773: how do i do that? lol
[07:52] <chown_> humungulous: ty man i didnt even know where to start
[07:53] <bobo37773> trishxo: would you like to have a shortcut for your program? like a script or something?
[07:53] <brkolog> humungulous: I'll try that too
[07:53] <L3top> chown_: which is helpful to find programs, eg: which firefox
[07:54] <ajnabicancer> bobo3773: ubuntu was running ok. once i installed drivers i faced resolution drivers, then with someone guide i reinstalled drivers again and the issue is now "signal not found" H:95khz v:60hz
[07:54] <humungulous> brkolog: actually https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html says it's /home/ftp/
[07:54] <NyLes> bobo37773: are ALSA and OSS different?
[07:54] <bobo37773> ajnabicancer: Use nvidia settings to change settings and then save to x config file
[07:55] <trishxo> bobo37773: ok, i downloaded world of goo game, there was no installation, i just downloaded the tar file, did a couple command, and the game opened from command. there is a script to start to game in the file.
[07:55] <bobo37773> NyLes: Yes they are. There is an alsa-oss package though or something similar
[07:55] <urfr332gO> theadmin, had to reboot
[07:55] <trishxo> bobo37773: opened from the terminal*
[07:56] <L3top> ajnabicancer: just curious... what lead you to download 175?
[07:56] <chown_> L3top: i mean, if i know the name of the program it gets easy cuz i just hit super and start typing. The problem is if want to look for some function like vnc thing, and i dont know what to type... u know, so i have to get familiar with the applications first
[07:56] <bobo37773> trishxo: do you run it like this --> ./worldgoo
[07:56] <trishxo> no, didnt know how to run it lol
[07:56] <brkolog> humungulous: It didn't create the directory,
[07:56] <trishxo> no option to run in terminal.
[07:56] <humungulous> chown_: unix is a vast ecosystem
[07:56] <trishxo> i had a longer command to run it
[07:57] <trishxo> bobo:37773 ^... that had that command at the end
[07:57] <L3top> chown_: by all means poke around... I was just saying if you are looking for places to look... which will show you where things live, and from there you can see other things that live there
[07:57] <humungulous> brkolog: you can always create it yourself and change it to whatever you want, i suppose
[07:57] <Jordan_U> trishxo: Why not install World of Goo from Ubuntu Software Center?
[07:57] <brkolog> humungulous: local access worked but another machine didn't list any files, I'll try again
[07:57] <bobo37773> trishxo: this^^
[07:57] <brkolog> humungulous: yes, I did create i
[07:58] <NyLes> bobo37773: do you think using oss instead of alsa will solve my problem?
[07:58] <brkolog> humungulous: maybe it's the client (explorer)
[07:58] <bobo37773> NyLes: hard to say. I doubt it. How old is your soundcard / computer?
[07:59] <bobo37773> NyLes: did you compare the module blacklist / kernel version difference beteen puppy and ubuntu? What was the results
[07:59] <humungulous> brkolog: absent some (mis)configuration you should see the same dir contents ftping in with the same credentials from any posture
[07:59] <onasis> need some help installing chameleon on ubuntu please anyone?
[08:00] <onasis> need to boot osx on legacy kernel
[08:00] <NyLes> bobo37773: more than 10 years old, soundcard is Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 05)
[08:00] <onasis> grub doesnt accept kernel commands for osx
[08:00] <NyLes> bobo37773: they are the same, nothing is different, even the punctuations..
[08:01] <Jordan_U> onasis: We don't support hackintoshing here, sorry.
[08:01] <ajnabicancer> What the solution?
[08:01] <bobo37773> NyLes: Do you have alsa-utils installed?
[08:01] <onasis> im not asking about hackintosh
[08:01] <onasis> im asking about installing chameleon on ubuntu
[08:02] <ajnabicancer> I cannot get into ubuntu, but i only now can get into terminal via CTRL+ALT+F1
[08:02] <Jordan_U> onasis: That's the only reason I know of to use chamaelion. Either way, chameleon is not in the Ubuntu repositories, maybe you can get support through chameleon's support venues.
[08:03] <NyLes> bobo37773: how will i know?
[08:03] <bobo37773> ajnabicancer: from creating an xorg?
[08:03] <bobo37773> NyLes: Look in your repos and see if its installed. Software center apt whatever
[08:03] <ajnabicancer> bobo37773: plz tell me the commands, so i can get some solution?
[08:03] <onasis> ok well fair enough
[08:04] <bobo37773> ajnabicancer: try this:     sudo nvidia-xconfig      then reboot
[08:04] <NyLes> bobo37773: ok i have it..
[08:04] <bobo37773> NyLes: it was installed already?
[08:04] <NyLes> bobo37773: yeah...
[08:05] <curiousx> bobo37773: look what i found: http://meiga.igalia.com/ xD i'll try it
[08:05] <NyLes> !ppa
[08:06] <brkolog> humungulous: I tried filezilla there and it listed the files but it uses my home folder in ubuntu as root it seems. had the same issue using pureadmin as ftp server.
[08:06] <bobo37773> NyLes: What about alsa-base
[08:06] <humungulous> brkolog: what do you want it to use
[08:07] <bobo37773> curiousx: very cool. glad you figured it out
[08:07] <NyLes> bobo37773: i have it too..
[08:07] <curiousx> and if someones liks online radio in 4 minutes www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-Ixoe6gOe8
[08:07] <bobo37773> NyLes: But you dont have alsaconf ?
[08:07] <brkolog> humungulous: /home/ftp for example
[08:07] <chown_> guys when i want to finish an application im running terminal and doing this: ps aux | grep -i appname ; than i kill pid, is that the correct way to finish an application that is not responding?
[08:08] <NyLes> bobo37773: yeah command not found it says..
[08:08] <brkolog> i created such a directory before in pureadmin too humungulous
[08:08] <humungulous> brkolog: who are you ftping in as
[08:08] <Jordan_U> chown_: "pkill appname" is easier.
[08:09] <chown_> Jordan_U: ty
[08:09] <Jordan_U> chown_: You're welcome.
[08:09] <bobo37773> NyLes: your right. Apparently ubuntu does not have alsaconf. What a drag. Sorry.
[08:10] <NyLes> bobo37773: ok thanks for the time..
[08:10] <brkolog> the remote machine uses another user humungulous , but in filezilla i used the local user i use in ubuntu
[08:11] <brkolog> humungulous:
[08:11] <humungulous> brkolog: you can create an ftp user with homedir /home/ftp
[08:12] <brkolog> humungulous: windows seems to screw up though, doesn't ask me for credentials just shows an empty ftp server
[08:12] <humungulous> brkolog: browser's ftp mode generally logs in as anonymous
[08:12] <brkolog> humungulous:i
[08:13] <humungulous> brkolog: if you want a cleaner test from windows do it from the command line
[08:13] <brkolog> i enabled anonymous too
[08:13] <humungulous> so thats whats happening
[08:13] <humungulous> the browser tries anonymous first, it works, so it doesnt prompt you for further credentials
[08:14] <brkolog> oh never tried cli in windows, I thought there was no such client in windows
[08:14] <humungulous> sure just ftp hostname
[08:16] <Kartagis> hi. I have a cable modem, and an adsl modem on top of that to enhance wireless range. but I don't remember its IP address and I can't seem to find out by nmap. what else to do?
[08:16] <humungulous> windows command line ftp is a piece of garbage
[08:16] <humungulous> testing is just about the only thing its good for
[08:16] <humungulous> lucky for you thats all youre doing
[08:16] <humungulous> for real ftp work use filezilla
[08:17] <humungulous> Kartagis: you mean you have a modem and a router
[08:18] <brkolog> humungulous: it seems to work, it shows my homedir in ubuntu, humungulous . I just need one file, but filezilla downloaded at 50kb/s. That could be a Virtualbox issue, those are both virtual machines. :P
[08:18] <bambanx> anyone can recommend me a good image viewer like gnome viewer but with the basic tools for resize crop ... ?
[08:19] <humungulous> bambanx: google gimp
[08:19] <Kartagis> humungulous: yes, exactly
[08:20] <humungulous> Kartagis: the router IP is the one reported as gateway by ifconfig
[08:20] <bambanx> humungulous,  i know gimp thanks , but i mean a lightweigth viewer with only the basic like shotwell
[08:20] <humungulous> bambanx: dunno
[08:20] <bambanx> ok
[08:20] <humungulous> Kartagis: make that "route -n"
[08:21] <Kartagis> humungulous: I have no trouble finding out the IP of the cable modem, it's the adsl modem of which I can't find the IP
[08:21] <humungulous> oh
[08:21] <humungulous> well, sometimes its .100
[08:22] <humungulous> sometimes its .1.1
[08:22] <humungulous> sometimes you cant route it, it depends on how the router feels right then
[08:22] <brkolog> Kartagis: try just connecting the other modem, if dhcp is working, you can find it
[08:23] <Benkinooby> what about nmap?
[08:23] <brkolog> or look at the client map of the first mothem
[08:23] <humungulous> Kartagis: are you saying youre doing double nested NAT? thats bad architecting
[08:23] <brkolog> can work though :)
[08:24] <brkolog> hexanat
[08:27] <bambanx> humungulous,  gthmb works great :)
[08:27] <bambanx> gthumb*
[08:27] <humungulous> bambanx, alright
[08:27] <mehdi_> hey guys i was installing sth with dpkg -i and in middle of the installation i Ctrl+c the process now it gives me error how can i fix this?
[08:28] <wael> hi
[08:28] <helmut_> hi
[08:28] <humungulous> mehdi_: apt-get remove <package> and start over?
[08:30] <mehdi_> humungulous, gives me this error The package libobasis3.3-core04:i386 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[08:30] <mehdi_> humungulous, i was trying to install libreoffice
[08:30] <OffGridOps> 11.10/Compaq CQ57:  I need some good places to learn how to set up a computer as a home media server (stream dvd, pix, net, etc) to 4 tvs.  Thanx!
[08:31] <humungulous> mehdi_: how about sudo apt-get -f install libobasis
[08:35] <chown_> i see i can open gui apps from terminal, but as i do that, the terminal gets locked in that app process, is there a way to avoid that?
[08:35] <humungulous> chown_: suffix an & after them
[08:35] <humungulous> chown_: that forks them and unblocks the shell
[08:35] <chown_> humungulous: tyvm sir, im learning a lot today xD
[08:36] <lotuspsychje> howto disable users fast switching in main bar?
[08:36] <humungulous> chown_: thats one way to do it anyway
[08:38] <doc-saintly> My testDisk finished and here's what it says at the end: http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=6926
[08:38] <doc-saintly> I'm not quite sure what it means
[08:38] <Dave_Maydew> Is there a way of getting a GeForceFX card to run in Ubuntu 11.10?
[08:39] <humungulous> doc-saintly: looks like theyre gone
[08:39] <doc-saintly> Q.Q
[08:40] <humungulous> sorry
[08:40] <humungulous> you said you saved the irreplaceable stuff right
[08:40] <tecky> Dave_Maydew: Ubuntu Restricted Drivers ?
[08:40] <doc-saintly> For the most part. I just don't understand it. There was nothing written to it since the partition was lost
[08:40] <Dave_Maydew> tried
[08:40] <doc-saintly> the files are still there
[08:41] <humungulous> my understanding was the addition of the usb 3.0 card blew up your whole /dev/
[08:41] <humungulous> software raid is a biotch
[08:41] <Dave_Maydew> the issue I'm having is 11.10 displays a grey screen, and a cut out where Unity is
[08:42] <Dave_Maydew> I've tried installing the driver even off the nVidia site
[08:42] <Dave_Maydew> both ways don't work
[08:42] <L3top> which driver are you choosing?
[08:42] <Dave_Maydew> one of my issues is that the driver says it's installed but another is being used
[08:42] <L3top> 175?
[08:43] <Dave_Maydew> 173
[08:43] <Dave_Maydew> oh I think it was 175 that crashed the machine
[08:43] <L3top> what is installed currently?
[08:44] <L3top> and how was it installed?
[08:44] <Dave_Maydew> 10.04LTS
[08:44] <Dave_Maydew> fresh clean install
[08:44] <doc-saintly> humungulous: I don't know. THere were a few strange occurances right around the USB3.
[08:44] <Dave_Maydew> reading the bug reports I'm not the only one having these issues
[08:45] <L3top> Sorry, so nvidia 173 is installed from... nvidia? or ubuntu?
[08:45] <Dave_Maydew> Ubuntu
[08:45] <doc-saintly> the one that i noticed immediately is that I had selected the usb3 device in the disk utility to edit the partitions, and it came up trying to edit the md0
[08:45] <Dave_Maydew> on 10.04
[08:45] <L3top> and you achieved this by typing apt-get install nvidia-glx-173 correct?
[08:45] <humungulous> raid is the illusion of failproofness with the reality of fragility
[08:46] <doc-saintly> once it did that, I restarted. I later learned that had I not, I could have kept the partition table that was in the kernel, but I wouldn't have had a place to put the backups since it wasn't recognizing the usb3 properly
[08:46] <Dave_Maydew> the card in question is built into my Sony VGC-V2M All-in-One media PC
[08:46] <Dave_Maydew> GeForceFX 5700
[08:46] <doc-saintly> humungulous: however - photorec seems to be happily pulling files off even though testdisk was unable to do anything with the partitions :S
[08:46] <doc-saintly> humungulous: i simply told photorec that it was an ext3 file system, and it's scanning it now
[08:46] <humungulous> doc: good, wait until you get to sift through the 18,000 files it pulls
[08:46] <Dave_Maydew> I installed the driver in 10.04 using the hardware drivers
[08:47] <Dave_Maydew> under the GUI
[08:47] <Dave_Maydew> it runs a dream in 10.04
[08:48] <doc-saintly> humungulous: indeed. But I believe there's only a few I'll actually be looking for (some homework assignments)
[08:48] <Dave_Maydew> but when it comes to 11.04 & 11.10 it just either displays a grey screen and a cutout where Unity is, or crashes when I install the latest driver
[08:48] <humungulous> doc: they're going to be numbered arbitrarily and grouped by file type
[08:48] <doc-saintly> humungulous: is there a way to tell it to make a new ext3 partition the entire size of the raid, but not mess with the data inside and see if any of the file headers come up properly?
[08:48] <doc-saintly> humungulous: yea - i'm watching the stuff it's pulling out
[08:48] <cybot> hello guys
[08:49] <humungulous> doc: no, a new volume gets a new mft
[08:49] <humungulous> doc: well you can try and see
[08:49] <humungulous> doc: at this point nothing to lose
[08:50] <Dave_Maydew> if I install the nVidia driver under Hardware Drivers in 11.04 or 11.10 it comes up with Driver is installed but being used by another
[08:50] <humungulous> doc: do it with fdisk but do not mke2fs
[08:51] <humungulous> !ask | cybot
[08:51] <doc-saintly> humungulous: i'll give that a try after a few things with photorec
[08:51] <humungulous> oops, what is the macro for hi
[08:51] <Dave_Maydew> Its been driving me crazy with this nVidia issue, as I want to start running Unity
[08:51] <cybot> i'm running ubuntu for arm on my motorola atrix 4g, everytime i hit the button on keyboar between s an f (i can't type i) it minimizes the current programm.
[08:52] <doc-saintly> humungulous: Is there a folder comparison tool that will do it at the binary level? That way I could see which of the files I recovered exist in my backup
[08:52] <humungulous> cybot: try #ubuntu-arm
[08:53] <cybot> thanks
[08:53] <humungulous> doc-saintly: there are tools to dedupe what it pulls out
[08:53] <doc-saintly> humungulous: how could there be duplicates?
[08:53] <humungulous> the logic is very uh loose
[08:53] <Dave_Maydew> so any help in getting the GeForce FX5700 running in later distro's of Ubuntu would be great
[08:54] <humungulous> it recognizes a lot of file fragments youll see
[08:54] <doc-saintly> humungulous: it seems it would be trivial to compare, say the first 1kb, of every file recovered vs. a directory structure. Since you would only have to look at the file type and then look at the size, and then the first kb
[08:54] <Strav> Hi. Here's a few questions about raid maintenance. A few months ago, I assembled a raid5 (ext4) array; so far, everything is fine but I noticed that my scheduled fsck (at boot) usually run really fast so I suspected that the array wasn't really checked. Just to make sure, I launched gnome's disk utility, unmounted the array and checked the file system and then got a popup saying that the file system is not clean. I then launched the
[08:54] <Strav> "check array" task and now it's been running for a good 30 minutes with the md0_resync and md0_raid5 processes taking a good 50% cpu. So about this, my questions are: since my array seemed to behave correctly before that, are those checks necessary? And if so, what are the checks and repair operations that disk utility is really using in the backend (so that I could schedule them on a weekly basis) - in the end, I wish to ensure that if
[08:54] <Strav> there's a disk failure someday, that I really can recover and won't be troubled by a corrupted filesystem.
[08:54] <FloodBot1> Strav: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:54] <humungulous> doc: there is a tool i used for dedupe i just dont remember what it was called
[08:58] <Strav> (just to make it clear: it's the "check the filesystem" that reported that it "wasn't clean" (I guess this is gnome disk utility launching an fsck on the array); the actual repair operation is done by "check array")
[09:03] <azbam117> Hey everyone.
[09:03] <NyLes> can someone analyze my problem with my soundcard? http://paste.ubuntu.com/856301
[09:04] <azbam117> Is there someone who can explain to me the benefit of rooting an android tablet other then sudo capabilities
[09:05] <vitamin{> azbam117, installing a differnt os/rom
[09:06] <vitamin{> azbam117, there really is not a whole lot of benefits unless you really want to dig deep into the os
[09:07] <akem> NyLes, looks like there is an issue with intel8x0 driver, tried pulseaudio etc, no sound?
[09:08] <NyLes> akem: yes, i tried that already..
[09:08] <Dave_Maydew> Just found the bug report for the problem I'm having - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-173/+bug/772207
[09:08] <akem> NyLes, best luck to find out someone with the same computer running linux, forums, etc.
[09:09] <NyLes> akem: but the soundcard works fine with puppy linux..
[09:09] <Dave_Maydew> so is there a workaround
[09:10] <azbam117> Vitamin{ Thats kind of what i thought. Another noob question...what kimf of os would you put on a tablet such as a prime?
[09:10] <akem> NyLes, i see, check which modules are loaded with puppy and if it is using alsa or some other backends
[09:10] <akem> i was going to suggest knoppix too to see...(:
[09:11] <NyLes> akem: puppy uses alsa,.. what do you mean the modules?
[09:12] <akem> NyLes, kernel modules
[09:12] <Dave_Maydew> is there a newer version of the driver I could try under 11.10? or is the philosophy of Ubuntu being compatible with older hardware coming to an end??
[09:13] <anand_> !ls
[09:13] <anand_> !date
[09:14] <Dave_Maydew> there's also physically no way I can't change the card as it's on board being a Sony all-in-one PC
[09:15] <Dave_Maydew> Is it Unity or Linux Kernel 3??
[09:15] <lotuspsychje> howto password protect chrome to start?
[09:19] <Dave_Maydew> so final question before I go nuts... will this issue be fixed in 12.04LTS for the older versions of the Nvidia cards to run with Unity or are we all going to be stuck with 10.04??
[09:21] <theadmin> Dave_Maydew: That's up to nvidia
[09:21] <Dave_Maydew> I asked nVidia the same question
[09:22] <Dave_Maydew> guess what they said!!
[09:22] <Dave_Maydew> thats up Linux distros
[09:22] <theadmin> lotuspsychje: That's not really possible. If you want to, you need to change execute permissions of the chrome binary so that only you can run it
[09:22] <theadmin> Dave_Maydew: lolwut. They're the ones who make drivers :/
[09:22] <Dave_Maydew> I feel like I'm having the same issue as I did with my Acer Aspire One ZA3 with the GMA500
[09:23] <chid> hi, I recently resumed from a hibernate but accidentally rebooted, how can I resume from the hibernate swap again?
[09:23] <Dave_Maydew> Oh well
[09:23] <Dave_Maydew> cheers for the answers
[09:25] <dr3mro> hello, I have installed ubuntu now and i need some suggestions of ubuntu apps that are very good and being unknown ??? what apps did you find by accident
[09:26] <theadmin> chid: Not possible, it gets removed after you resume so that it doesn't take up space. Which makes sense.

[09:32] <pangolin> !bot | RandyJC
[09:33] <helmut_> hi
[09:33] <theadmin> RandyJC: Someone in the channel just pulls up a !factoid, and the bot gives the information which is stored as that !factoid

[09:38] <pangolin> RandyJC: #ubuntu-phone
[09:38] <RandyJC> Thnx!
[09:41] <zikos> theadmin: but isn't awkard that with default ubuntu install on powerfull laptop battery goes out in 1 hour and on win7 it can last for 2 and half hours

[09:53] <vaasu> hi, im using luicd in a laptop, having a usb3 port and transfering files to en external usb3 hdd. im getting speeds of around 24Mbytes/s , which is much less than USB 2.0 theoretical max. how would i increase the speed?
[09:55] <vaasu> lsusb shows usb3 root hub is present and that there is the intended external hdd connected to it
[09:56] <vaasu> i expect the speed to be more than Usb 2 theoretical max speed.

[10:14] <vicium> Oh hi. :)  I'm running a ECS. Is it reccomended to upgrade to the newest build?
[10:15] <luke--_> I created a file /etc/init.d/wake.sh and added it as a service to with update-rc.d wake.sh defaults . what that scipt should do doesnt work. now I want to remove that service again. can I *savely* just do update-rc.d -f wake.sh remove to remove that service again or is that somehow wrong/do I break other things with this?

[10:18] <darrenlooby>  Having trouble in Apache removing trailing slashes in combination with sending all traffic to index.php - here's what I'm currently using... http://pastebin.com/RDUs3fqq
[10:18] <malin_> why can i just see one core working? ubuntu 11.10 compaq amd athlon qi-46
[10:19] <luke--_> darrenlooby: try #httpd
[10:19] <darrenlooby> luke--_, yea, no one is active there at the mo... so, thought I'd give it a pop in here
[10:20] <malin_> can someone give me directions of where to start searching for answers? i tried google but forcing acpi did not seem to to anything.
[10:20] <luke--_> darrenlooby RewriteRule works that way:      RewriteRule pattern redirect_target
[10:21] <luke--_> darrenlooby: your just wrote the patterns and wrote targets in diffrerent lines
[10:21] <luke--_> one line = one rewrite rule
[10:21] <luke--_> RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [L]
[10:22] <luke--_> ^ everything goes to index.php
[10:22] <darrenlooby> kk - and will that work with removing trailing slashes at the same time?
[10:24] <luke--_> darrenlooby: you can write something like this: RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1 [L] BUT the browser always displays a / at the end of the url, only the internal / will be removed, it will still be in the addressbar though
[10:24] <TheDexter1111> can anyone help, I just installed nvidia-current and when i reboot, i cant startx.. it says failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist)
[10:25] <vicivaci> Hi, I'm running a Ubuntu 11.04 x64 template Would you say its viable to upgrade to the newest build that gets prompted on boot?
[10:25] <TheDexter1111> and No drivers available
[10:26] <darrenlooby> Ahh ok... so, then maybe I need to force them instead... I basically want it to be consistent

[10:29] <Patrunjel> Hi. I had an ext2 (if I remember right) formatted flash drive with arch, spectacularly fail to install it decently, and I now wanna go back to Ubuntu. I only have access to a Windows box (it's not mine, I promise :P), so I made a bootable pendrive using Universal Usb installer, but when I try to boot it (in an Acer Aspire one), I only get " SYSLINUX 4.05 EDD 2011-12-09 Copywright (C) 1994-2011 H. Peter Anvin et al" and a bliping line (like it got stuck
[10:29] <Patrunjel>  in an infinite loop) What should I do?
[10:31] <RawProduce> on 10.04: /etc/apt/sources.list contains "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner", apt-get update -> OK, apt-get install sun-java6-jre --> "Package sun-java6-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package"
[10:32] <RawProduce> what am I doing wrong?

[10:52] <JustMozzy> Ok I tracked it down. it seems that nautilus is keeping its menu bar always under the top panel in my ubuntu 11.10 with gnome shell. Anyone has an idea why that is? restarting nautilus doesn't fix it. calling nautilus -q removes it but as soon as I open nautilus again it appears

[11:02] <CIAOO> exit
[11:02] <DaniG2k> ok
[11:03] <robin0800> kaspi: open the volume control and play with it note you may still have to enable stuff in alsa mixer as pulse audio sits on top of it

[11:21] <CharminTheMoose> Can someone explain to me why 'gksu -u root xedit' complains about a wrong password even when I set both user and root passwords the same?
[11:24] <viktor133> any idea what i need to do to get espeak working?
[11:24] <LjL> viktor133: i don't know, haven't been able to make it speak, but you can always make it produce a (temporary) wav file and then play that using a console tool
[11:25] <Myrtti> CharminTheMoose: well if you've enabled root account you're pretty much on your own. Root account isn't, as you know, supported as it is very very likely to break things in ways you've described.
[11:25] <crackerjackz> i'm using ubuntu 11.10 32 bit i'm having some problems with my graphics card i can't seem to get composite or open gl working correctly. i noticed the problem when i was unable to get compiz fusion working

[11:35] <lahwran> hi, anyone here use dockbarx? I would like to make a specific window always have it's own entry and icon on the bar, even though it's an instance of an application I have open - specifically, I have a task shortcut for gmail tasks set up with chrome, so the tasks window is a chrome-owned window titled "Tasks", with its own icon. I'd like that window to have it's own entry on the bar so that I don't have to hover over the chrome icon to get to it.

[11:39] <theadmin> Ebron_: Some nautilus thing maybe
[11:41] <CharminTheMoose> Can someone explain to me why 'gksu -u root xedit' complains about a wrong password even when I set both user and root passwords the same?
[11:42] <oCean> CharminTheMoose: didn't Myrtti just answer you?
[11:42] <CharminTheMoose> Oops, I missed that.
[11:42] <theadmin> !rootpw | CharminTheMoose
[11:42] <theadmin> Bah, I forgot the factoid
[11:42] <MimosakaRyou> can i start rdp service on a remote win machine?
[11:43] <bazhang> !sudoroot
[11:43] <CharminTheMoose> And yes, I am familar with the !root factoid. ;)
[11:43] <theadmin> CharminTheMoose: Ubuntu doesn't officially support setting the root password. If you do that, you're no longer eglible to receive support from this channel, Ubuntu forums, etc.
[11:43] <oCean> CharminTheMoose: enabling root password is not supported and may cause all kinds of issues. Besides that, try gksudo, and don't use the -u root
[11:43] <theadmin> CharminTheMoose: And yeah, use sudo/gksudo. They make much more sense than plain su alternatives of theirs.
[11:44] <MimosakaRyou> helloo everyone . can i start rdp service on a remote win machine?
[11:45] <theadmin> MimosakaRyou: Windows support is in ##windows , not here
[11:45] <CharminTheMoose> Well yes, but this breaks gksu as it uses su authentication mode by default which is broken.
[11:45] <CharminTheMoose> So how can I change gksu to use sudo?
[11:45] <oCean> CharminTheMoose: gksudo xedit
[11:45] <theadmin> CharminTheMoose: Use gksudo. Or open "gksu-properties" and tell it to use sudo through that. That way, both gksu and gksudo will act the same
[11:46] <MimosakaRyou> i mean from my machine
[11:46] <CharminTheMoose> theadmin, hmm yeah, I tried using gksu-properties, but the settings aren't saved on a dbusless chroot of 11.04. :/
[11:46] <theadmin> MimosakaRyou: This is still a Windows issue. I don't honestly thing it's possible unless you have some other means of accessing the desktop remotely
[11:47] <MimosakaRyou> i see i see
[11:47] <MimosakaRyou> thanks
[11:47] <theadmin> CharminTheMoose: Ouch... Using desktop environments without dbus is generally a bad idea
[11:47] <lahwran> so uh, anyone on the dockbarx thing?
[11:48] <lahwran> I can re-say the question if necessary, but it was quite long
[11:48] <lahwran> meh, I guess I'll ask in a few hours when the US wakes up
[11:48] <theadmin> lahwran: Have some patience (might need to wait several minutes, even hours before you get an answer. Repeating the question every 15 minutes or so is okay), and try asking the forums while you wait
[11:48] <CharminTheMoose> theadmin, it's not a full blown DE, just that stuff like gksu which AptUrl uses is by default in, ah, 'su' mode. *cough*
[11:49] <theadmin> CharminTheMoose: That's weird, since if I recall right, gksu by *default* actually uses the sudo mode in Ubuntu, but then again it might act strangely because of lack of dbus
[11:50] <simonsky> hi, my wlan is instable under ubuntu 11.10 (10-30s lags every 5-10min). i'm using Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN. i already disabled the wlan-n-modus. no improvement. any suggestions?
[11:50] <Ebron_> theadmin: it was unity :) a fix can be found here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/21934/how-to-change-the-binding-of-windows-key-which-runs-unitys-dash
[11:50] <theadmin> Ebron_: Ah, hm, okay
[11:50] <chmac> How can I tell why a package was installed? As in, was it installed as a dependency of something else, or installed manually?
[11:51] <chmac> From the command line btw, not in synaptic / software-centre.
[11:51] <CharminTheMoose> theadmin, would it be possible for me to temporarily set up dbus inside the chroot from the host system?
[11:52]  * CharminTheMoose is using the chroot for building a livecd
[11:52] <theadmin> CharminTheMoose: Probably, I'm not into chroots, sorry about that. But basically "apt-get install dbus" in it, start the dbus daemon and that should be about it
[11:52] <slinzex> Error when installing NVIDIA driver. Log of jockey.log ==>http://pastebin.com/qeKzvdij
[11:52] <slinzex> help me please
[11:53] <MimosakaRyou> im trying to connect to a win machine with remote desktop , but it always say connection closed
[11:54] <MimosakaRyou> the win machine has remote desktop already enabled
[11:55] <theadmin> MimosakaRyou: Have you considered using a simplier remote control solution, such as TeamViewer? Also, if I recall right, the default Ubuntu's remote desktop tool uses VNC, not RDP
[11:56] <MonkeyDust> rdesktop is a very simple and easy to use remote desktop app
[11:57] <Dr_willis> ive only used vnc and teamviewer. :) been trying splashtop.  but cen never get it to work over the internet. local lan works.
[11:57] <MimosakaRyou> vnc is relatively slow compared to rdp , dat's why i tried rdp first. i'll get back to u theadmin
[11:57] <Dr_willis> freenx is faster then vnc  - but ive had mixxed results with it.
[11:58] <edwinkcw> hello, I have a problem about ntp, I use "sudo ntpdate stdtime.gov.hk" to get the updatest date and time, but I found that it is wrong. What is the possible reason?
[11:58] <edwinkcw> $  sudo ntpdate stdtime.gov.hk
[11:58] <edwinkcw> 25 Feb 05:57:36 ntpdate[4692]: step time server <IP_ADDRESS> offset -50407.500386 sec
[11:58] <edwinkcw> I just execute it, it the result is not correct
[11:58] <CharminTheMoose> Actually, can someone explain to me *why* gksu -u root xedit fails if the root password is set? What's blocking it?
[11:59] <chown_> guys cifs and smb is the same thing?
[11:59] <theadmin> chown_: Pretty much
[11:59] <MonkeyDust> cifs is also used for NFS
[12:00] <theadmin> CharminTheMoose: I think gksu as well as gksudo relies heavily on dbus to perform the authorisation, so if you don't have that it will fail... It's just a wild guess, but something makes me think that's the case.
[12:01] <CharminTheMoose> theadmin, well, I was trying this out from the chroot-as-livecd, which starts up dbus and such.
[12:02] <theadmin> CharminTheMoose: Ah, then sorry, no idea.
[12:02] <sai> http://goterminal.blogspot.in/2012/02/debate-ics-vs-ios-credit-goes-to-ics.html
[12:03] <CharminTheMoose> Thanks anyway. :)
[12:03] <bazhang> sai, why paste that here
[12:04] <theadmin> CharminTheMoose: Have you tried runing gksu with --sudo-mode and/or --debug? Might help...
[12:04] <chown_> well i have an network hd, i believe it is called a NAS, and it has some mount points. At a macosx i was used to smb://ip/mountpoint and it would mount how do i do that in ubuntu? am i in the right way? mount.cifs?
[12:04] <sai> bazhang, then where to paste?
[12:04] <bazhang> sai, this is ubuntu support, this is not the place for random things like that
[12:04] <wily> anybody familar with qtsixa (ps3 contoller support)?
[12:04] <theadmin> sai: This has nothing to do with Ubuntu, so it's unrelated. Don't spam here.
[12:05] <MonkeyDust> !info qtsixa
[12:05] <theadmin> chown_: Sure, cifs or smbfs are what you are looking for, actually I think Nautilus and most other filemanagers would eat smb:// URLs too
[12:06] <wily> !info qtsixa
[12:06] <Dr_willis> chown_,  the gnome file manager, supports the smb:// type path. or use the various command line tools to mount things.
[12:06] <chown_> theadmin: i love u!!! u saved mylife man!!!
[12:06] <theadmin> chown_: Um... okay? lol
[12:07] <MonkeyDust> "man" :)
[12:07] <theadmin> Heh... well I'm used to that >.>
[12:07] <sai> theadmin, is there any place to do?any channels?
[12:07] <chown_> im sorry for my excitment
[12:07] <bazhang> !ot | sai
[12:07] <nano-> https://lists.launchpad.net/unity-design/msg08084.html THANKS FOR THE LAUGH! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3
[12:07] <chown_> ok, but ill keep searching for the command line for that, cuz i need it to mount those things at the login
[12:08] <theadmin> sai: #defocus and #ubuntu-offtopic are suitable for general discussion (might be more channels, but those are the ones that come to mind right away)
[12:08] <theadmin> chown_: Mount it via fstab maybe?  But, be sure to edit it so that it corresponds to your share
[12:18] <MimosakaRyou> ok teamviewer returns a reason unknown error , and the win machine that im connecting to is definitely up. what could be wrong
[12:19] <sanjeev90an> how can i edit mbr to change the location of boot partition?
[12:19] <Dr_willis> MimosakaRyou,  first guess.. windows firewall.
[12:19] <arand> sanjeev90an: Simply re-run "grub-install"
[12:20] <Dr_willis> !grub2
[12:20] <chown_> theadmin: i cant thank u enough
[12:20] <theadmin> chown_: lol don't worry, it's okay
[12:21] <sanjeev90an> arand; ok thanks
[12:21] <shan> hello
[12:22] <mdsn> hi, guys, im trying to set up my grub, to have windows and ubunto choise on startup,. i was holding shift to call it up, but i saw just some picture with vertical stripes and some writing, and fater it was back in ubuntu, pls help
[12:22] <sahil_> how is mysql different in ubuntu and windows
[12:23] <sahil_> ?
[12:23] <Dr_willis> mdsn,  you may want to set it where grub does not hide. and a longer timeout/delay in the configs to make it easier to select what os.
[12:23] <Dr_willis> sahil_,  thats a bit vague. they should be the same I imagine..
[12:23] <LjL> sahil_: probably a question better suited for #Mysql
[12:23] <CharminTheMoose> Is gksu in su mode supposed to be broken? Deleting the previously set root password to the ubuntu default rightly so makes gksu fail.
[12:24] <mdsn> so how do i do it, can it be done from gnome lvl, to setup all grub options?
[12:24] <sahil_> LjL, thnx...what is the channel for winehq
[12:24] <oCean> CharminTheMoose: once more, enabling/using root password is *not* supported
[12:24] <LjL> shaatar: #winehq
[12:24] <LjL> sahil_: ^
[12:24] <Dr_willis> !grub2 | mdsn
[12:24] <raptor67682> hello how to join electrical switch on wall and USB that simuluatae press a key
[12:25] <CharminTheMoose> oCean, I know, I've now 'disabled' the root account with 'passwd -dl root'
[12:25] <oCean> CharminTheMoose: so, don't use su and gksu again
[12:25] <somethinginteres> does anyone know how to execute in terminal "ffmpeg -i filename.flv -vcodec copy -acodec copy filename.mkv" for all files in a given folder?
[12:25] <mdsn> didnt lose it, i just want to have option starting windows also, and now just ubuntu startst automaticly
[12:26] <Dr_willis> mdsn,  'for more information .......'  read the url?
[12:26] <mdsn> ok
[12:26] <Dr_willis> normally if you have windows and linux. grub does not set iteself to autohide.
[12:26] <Dr_willis> could be update-grub is not seeing windows
[12:26] <CharminTheMoose> 'cept my problem remains, by default gksu uses su mode, applications such as 'AptUrl' for downloading stuff from firefox use gksu, and I can't change the gksu mode as there's no way to get dbus to run inside a chroot.
[12:27] <Dr_willis> why are you doing all this chroot stuff anyway? ive totally missed the reason
[12:28] <LjL> somethinginteres: for file in *; do ffmpeg -i "$file" -vcodec copy -acodec copy "$file".mkv; done
[12:28] <theadmin> Dr_willis: (s)he's building a livecd
[12:28] <LjL> somethinginteres: although that will result in filename.flv.mkv outputs
[12:29] <phpn00b> how to switch to Oracle java?
[12:29] <LjL> !java > phpn00b
[12:29] <CharminTheMoose> 'tis an awesome learning experience for me. ;)
[12:29] <somethinginteres> LjL: certainly better than nothing. Thanks.
[12:29] <theadmin> LjL: Well, then use ${$file/\.flv/\.mkv} instead of $file ?
[12:30] <sanjeev90an> how i change default startup services in ubuntu 10.04 and add my custom programs there so that those program can start during boot time?
[12:30] <phpn00b> LjL, should I get Oracle Java 7 or 6?
[12:30] <Dr_willis> !upstart | sanjeev90an
[12:31] <Dr_willis> sanjeev90an,  dependng on what your progerams are doing. You could launch them from /etc/rc.local
[12:31] <LjL> phpn00b: that's up to you, i'd get 7 but it's possible you need to run stuff that requires specifically 6
[12:31] <somethinginteres> theadmin: will try that cheers
[12:31] <theadmin> somethinginteres: Try what? lol
[12:32] <phpn00b> LjL, is version 7 faster/better?
[12:32] <phpn00b> LjL, I need to run Eclipse
[12:32] <LjL> phpn00b: i wouldn't know about faster/better
[12:34] <somethinginteres> theadmin: the "${$file/\.flv/\.mkv" in place of $file :)
[12:34] <theadmin> somethinginteres: Ah that... Obviously place that in the output place, not in the input :D
[12:34] <somethinginteres> theadmin: roger that
[12:35] <chown_> theadmin: if i put my Nas in my filesystem table, and when my Linux boot my Nas is down, it would be a problem, or it would be handled?
[12:36] <theadmin> chown_: I think it should be okay. Well I mean, it will throw an error at boot time for sure, but it won't stop it from booting or somesuch
[12:37] <chown_> Ok ty, i know its stupid asking it, but i know nothing as i said. Ty.
[12:37] <sanjeev90an> Dr_willis: if i want to stop sshd, telnetd from starting during boot time what should i do ?
[12:38] <markus__> hi there, I'm planning to install ubuntu and want to go for 12.04.. If I install the alpha, is it possible to update to the final version or would I have to reinstall?
[12:38] <Dr_willis> sanjeev90an,  rename the /etc/init/servicenameyouwant.conf to  whatever.dontrun is one way i recall.
[12:38] <bazhang> !final | markus__
[12:38] <Dr_willis> for telnet ;) best to just uninstall it and forget it exists...
[12:38] <theadmin> markus__: It will be possible to upgrade, but it's unstable, can be broken etc. Also, it's not supported here, use #ubuntu+1 for Precise support.
[12:39] <markus__> alright, thank you guys
[12:40] <cemallettin> hi!
[12:40] <markus__> one silly question remains, on http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ do I have to choose AMD64 ISO for my intel core 2 duo processor if I want to install 64bit version?
[12:40] <cemallettin> is there somebody who use adblock plus or adblock with chromium based any browser?
[12:40] <Dr_willis> amd64 is the 64bit version yes..
[12:40] <mongy> sanjeev90an,  sudo update-rc.d -f sshd remove  I think should work.
[12:40] <markus__> okay, _amd_ confuses me
[12:41] <Dr_willis> mongy,  im not sure if that command has been updated to work with Upstart
[12:41] <Dr_willis> markus__,  amd came out with the 64bit extensions first. :) so they got the name.
[12:41] <markus__> fair enough :)
[12:41] <somethinginteres> theadmin: that command didn't seem to work. I pressed enter and it just went to a new line with ">" at the beginning like a prompt..
[12:42] <R4ndZ> PS1?
[12:42] <theadmin> somethinginteres: You sure you pasted it right? There's a ${$file/\.flv/\.mkv}, watch out for the closing brace
[12:42] <Dr_willis> somethinginteres,  you got some extra quote marks or somthing in the line would be my guess.
[12:42] <bazhang> R4ndZ, ubuntu support question?
[12:42] <somethinginteres> Dr_willis, theadmin: hmm let me check
[12:43] <R4ndZ> bazhang: no
[12:43] <mongy> Dr_willis, ah.. ok.
[12:43] <Dr_willis> > is the 'continue entering more info' prompt. (for lack of better terms) :)
[12:43] <R4ndZ>  ${$file/\.flv/\.mkv} !=  ${file/\.flv/\.mkv}
[12:43] <santoshmuk> instead of video i want make the dvd of software with menus , sub-menu and with great background thumnails !
[12:44] <Dr_willis> santoshmuk,  i use devede to create dvd video disks with menus and stuff.
[12:44] <theadmin> Dr_willis: The better term is $PS2 :P What'd describe it is "the command is not finished. FINISH IT!"
[12:44] <R4ndZ> lol
[12:44] <somethinginteres> theadmin: was missing the closing brace but this time I got "bash: ${$file/\.flv/\.mkv}: bad substitution"
[12:44] <Dr_willis> theadmin,  what does my Sony Playstation 2 have to do with it?  ;)
[12:44] <R4ndZ> somethinginteres: use ${file/\.flv/\.mkv}
[12:44] <theadmin> Dr_willis: You know $PS1 is the main prompt? $PS2 is the secondary prompt
[12:44] <santoshmuk> but i want to do same for application !
[12:45] <Dr_willis> theadmin,  the bash prompt howto ;) is so much fun to read.
[12:45] <R4ndZ> haha
[12:45] <theadmin> Dr_willis: Except when you use ZSh. Like me ;D
[12:45] <Dr_willis> !info fish
[12:45] <dtf> Hi! Does anyone know how to enable Video Chat withi Pidgin ? I've just installed Pidgin. And, my webcam works with Cheese etc.
[12:45] <Dr_willis> I was using fish for a while. :) had some neat features.
[12:45] <theadmin> Dr_willis: Tried that, meh, didn't quite like it
[12:46] <theadmin> dtf: Pidgin does videochat ONLY on XMPP/Jabber/Gtalk. No other protocols are supported for that yet
[12:46] <zorael> Tabs take ages to load in all browsers (Chromium, Firefox tested), even when I run a local caching dns. Even when they seem finished (page rendered) they're still loading, and other tabs won't start until enough of the first batch have finished. What could cause this?
[12:46] <zorael> 11.10
[12:46] <dtf> theadmin: so, does that mean i have to get XMPP in addition to pidgin?
[12:47] <dabbu> I have asus a43s system, touchpad stops working sometime and the only solution is to restart the system, any help ?
[12:47] <theadmin> dtf: XMPP is a protocol, not a program or anything... you'd need to get an XMPP account I guess...
[12:47] <somethinginteres> R4ndZ: that worked. Thanks.
[12:47] <R4ndZ> somethinginteres: np
[12:48] <zorael> dabbu: When it stops working, try entering 'sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse resetafter=10' in a terminal
[12:48] <dtf> theadmin: i'll check that right nw
[12:48] <theadmin> dtf: Or just get a client which supports video chats on your network. You know, having every friend of yours switch to XMPP can be hard.
[12:49] <dabbu> zorael any permanent solution
[12:49] <makara> i need to organise photos on my iPhone into albums using Ubuntu. Is possible?
[12:49] <dtf> theadmin: so, this mean that my friend (on Windows machine using MSN Live Messenger) will not be able to video chat with me?
[12:50] <theadmin> dtf: Not with Pidgin, yes. Try amsn, it does video chats on MSN
[12:50] <BlueWolf> Is this code correct?   ~/Downloads$ md5sum "linuxmint-12-gnome-cd-nocodecs-64bit.iso"
[12:50] <JustMozzy> hey. did anyone successfully install Wunderlist on 11.1?
[12:51] <theadmin> BlueWolf: Looks right to me heh
[12:52] <BlueWolf> theadmin: Then could you explain to me why it is not working in my terminal? This is the error  -  bash: /home/byron/Downloads$: No such file or directory
[12:52] <theadmin> BlueWolf: You're not supposed to type the "~/Downloads$" part...
[12:52] <theadmin> BlueWolf: It's meant to represent your prompt
[12:53] <zorael> dabbu: If it works, create a file like '/etc/modprobe.d/touchpad-fix.conf' with the contents 'options psmouse resetafter=10'
[12:53] <theadmin> BlueWolf: md5sum ~/Downloads/linuxmint-12-gnome-cd-nocodecs-64bit.iso # Try this
[12:53] <dabbu> zoreal :ok, i will have to wait till it stops working again :)
[12:54] <malin_> is it just me or is ubuntu getting slower and slower?
[12:55] <BlueWolf> theadmin: Oh ya It's been ages since I last did this.Can you verify this for me to see if my .iso is ok before I burn it? -  641e0ab8f746b82c36fc3f0bbca70dc7
[12:56] <theadmin> BlueWolf: This channel does not offer mint support... But yes, this looks right.
[12:56] <theadmin> BlueWolf: Hint: if you use the torrent downloads, you don't have to check the files, because your torrent client will handle that for you ;)
[12:57] <BlueWolf> theadmin: I have forgotten how to do that too. Ok thanks for your help hey. It's not really Mint help as I am asking Ubuntu questions, but ya will do..... :D
[12:57] <malin_> how come i can only see one core in ubuntu? i tried acpi=off acpi=force noapic nolapic and even installed mainland kernels 3.3 and 3.2 but nothing works
[12:57] <theadmin> BlueWolf: Meh you asked me the right checksum of the MINT iso, how is that an Ubuntu question xD
[12:58] <santoshmuk> which is better backtrack or ubuntu ?
[12:58] <theadmin> santoshmuk: That's a silly question. Backtrack is intended for security testing. Ubuntu is intended for regular desktop use.
[12:59] <santoshmuk> and that is why i donot understand backtrack is at top ranking ?
[13:00] <BlueWolf> theadmin: ha ha, It's an iso in Ubuntu.. So I just download the torrent from the same page right?  I actually needed to download it through firefox because my internet is very slow and I need downloaded quite fast. :D
[13:01] <theadmin> santoshmuk: *sigh* They're intended for different purposes. Which is better - an apple or a shovel? :/
[13:01] <anonisnaas> a shovel, hands down
[13:02] <santoshmuk> i donot know u tell  me which is better window or ubuntu ?
[13:02] <BlueWolf> theadmin: Hey thanks for the help. :D
[13:02] <theadmin> santoshmuk: *sigh* you keep asking the same thing, it's got NO ANSWER, there's no "better" when you compare entirely different things. Also, this is not a support question and is therefore highly offtopic
[13:03] <theadmin> BlueWolf: No problem.
[13:03] <moes> theadmin, Updated to Firefox-10.0.2..canonical-1.0 using synaptic...now firefox will crash when I try to open yahoo.games ??
[13:04] <theadmin> moes: I don't even use Firefox, why you ask me? lol
[13:04] <BlueWolf> theadmin: Oh ya by the way, I am going to use Brasero to burn the operating system, what speed should I burn it at, 4.0?
[13:04] <theadmin> BlueWolf: The lowest you can is good practice
[13:04] <moes> theadmin, On a chance you might help ..but thanks anyway
[13:04] <malin_> ONE core issue on ubuntu, is there anyone who can help?!
[13:04] <santoshmuk> ok then plz tell me how i can make a dvd of application ?
[13:05] <theadmin> santoshmuk: This doesn't make sense... Just burn it as data...
[13:05] <soreau> ! ask | malin_
[13:05] <theadmin> malin_: Just ask the question first.
[13:06] <santoshmuk> no i want to run it on window but it should work like dvd styler so that it can look preety to install !
 how come i can only see one core in ubuntu? i tried acpi=off acpi=force noapic nolapic and even installed mainland kernels 3.3 and 3.2 but nothing works
[13:07] <theadmin> santoshmuk: You need to write an installer then. And if you want to run it on Windows, it's got nothing to do with Ubuntu.
[13:07] <malin_> thank you anonisnaas
[13:08] <anonisnaas> no probs malin_ , hope someone can help.
[13:08] <BlueWolf> theadmin: The lowest is 8.0*(CD) - Burning speed. It is the slowest right? I can believe I have forgotten the simple things....
[13:08] <santoshmuk> but i want to sell the application of window by making dvd  and earn some money !
[13:09] <theadmin> BlueWolf: Well it doesn't *really* matter, just burn it at the lowest you find
[13:09] <malin_> santoshmuk: what are you trying to accomplish?
[13:09] <anonisnaas> BlueWolf, you will find the lowest speed in the brasero options.
[13:09] <BlueWolf> theadmin: OK thanks Man!!!! :D
[13:09] <arand> malin_: As per https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=797335#p797335    "pci=nommconf might be worth testing as well...
[13:10] <theadmin> BlueWolf: "man" doesn't apply to me, but whatever. No problem.
[13:10] <malin_> arand: i will try that one also
[13:10] <santoshmuk> i mean to say that i will download essential appliction of window and  sell it to my friend and whoever need it !
[13:11] <soreau> santoshmuk: Selling pirated software is not a way to 'earn' money
[13:11] <theadmin> santoshmuk: You know that's illegal right -_-
[13:11] <BlueWolf> theadmin: :-( Figure of speech. Thanks any way.
[13:11] <chown_> lemme say i have a few comands i would like to execute at the login time, how would i separate those commands at a text file?
[13:11] <santoshmuk> so plz tell me how i can write installer !
[13:11] <LjL> santoshmuk: can you please stick to Ubuntu support, not other stuff?
[13:11] <soreau> ! illegal | santoshmuk
[13:11] <ggggottto> are there popular apps that windows can run but ubuntu?
[13:12] <dtf> theadmin: did you get yours working?
[13:12] <santoshmuk> but i want to sell which are open source and freeware !
[13:12] <santoshmuk> and that is not a piracy !
[13:12] <LjL> santoshmuk: still not ontopic for this channel. have you tried #ubuntu-offtopic?
[13:12] <soreau> ggggottto: That's irrelevant to ubuntu. Try #windows
[13:12] <phpn00b> how do I remove Videos from Places/Favoriets
[13:13] <soreau> santoshmuk: Why would you sell someone else's work? Also, how does this have anything to do with ubuntu?
[13:13] <nullucas> hi, most pdf ebooks around have menus and they have real text instead of text in images. How do people do them? Some kind of OCR software? I heard OCR often causes formatting problems and errors, but these books don't seem to have any problems at all. Can this be done in ubuntu? Thanks
[13:14] <santoshmuk> no bro u had asked me what to do and i had share my view !
[13:14] <theadmin> chown_: This is the basic idea of a script: http://goo.gl/2KLtQ
[13:14] <LjL> nullucas: maybe they're just released as PDF from the publisher?
[13:14] <zteam> Hi all
[13:14] <soreau> phpn00b: Click on Videos, and when it opens nautilus, right click on Videos in the left pane and select Remove
[13:15] <zteam> Does anybody know how hard it is to access a encrypted LVM volume from a LiveCD provided one knows the password
[13:15] <zteam> ?
[13:15] <phpn00b> sordina, the remove option is greyed out
[13:15] <ansaja> viaggio nell'isola misteriosa
[13:15] <MonkeyDust> !it
[13:15] <chown_> theadmin: if i run a command line that has a sudo statement at the login time, it will execute wo promt? or should i somehow input the password at the script?
[13:16] <zteam> I consider to do a LVM-encryption but I wanna know how hard it is to recover my system in case it crash if it is encrypted
[13:16] <theadmin> chown_: You can't really do that, except authorizing sudo to run that command without password
[13:16] <santoshmuk> would any body help me to make a installer ?
[13:16] <dtf> chown_: after the first time you've done sudo, the second onwards won't be prompting you for password
[13:17] <soreau> phpn00b: Something is wrong then
[13:17] <dtf> chown_: i believe it's only good for the session. meaning, if you close and reopen terminal, it iwll prompt you for password
[13:17] <LjL> santoshmuk: not for Windows.
[13:17] <nullucas> LjL, maybe... I just got the impression that there are even old or rare books that are well formatted, which probably don't even exist as pdf for sale. I don't know... But if that's true, then I guess a good OCR software is the only way to go
[13:17] <LjL> nullucas: well, open-source OCR software around is not especially good
[13:18] <santoshmuk> ok bro !
[13:21] <jailtonpierre> do you use Lubuntu? Can you help me?
[13:22] <phpn00b> soreau, nothing wrong with my system. it seems the list of folders in Places is hard coded :(

[13:23] <soreau> ! lubuntu | jailtonpierre
[13:24] <phpn00b> soreau, Ubuntu 11.10 + gnome shell

[13:32] <lahwran> hi, anyone here use dockbarx? I would like to make a specific window always have it's own entry and icon on the bar, even though it's an instance of an application I have open - specifically, I have a task shortcut for gmail tasks set up with chrome, so the tasks window is a chrome-owned window titled "Tasks", with its own icon. I'd like that window to have it's own entry on the bar so that I don't have to hover over the chrome icon to get to it.

[13:32] <malin_> how come i can only see one core in ubuntu? i tried acpi=off acpi=force noapic nolapic and even installed mainland kernels 3.3 and 3.2 but nothing works
[13:33] <phpn00b> malin_, how do you determine how many cores there are?
[13:33] <ajnabicancer> ZuCo: i was having resolution issue then i installed Nvidia drivers. after drivers installed display gone with message"signals out of rang". recently i recovered by selecting to load ubuntu in "failsafe graphic mode". now i am back to 1024x768. but i can't change resolution.
[13:33] <cdj> does anyone know if you can show the package version when doing apt-get install
[13:33] <cdj> like apt-get install apache2
[13:33] <cdj> I want it to show the actual version of it
[13:34] <cdj> 2.x.x
[13:34] <malin_> phpn00b: in system overview, i dont know what its called in english :P
[13:34] <bastidrazor> cdj: apt-cache policy packagename
[13:34] <lahwran> cdj: apt-cache show apache2
[13:34] <lahwran> policy?
[13:34] <phpn00b> malin_, also check /proc/cpuinfo
[13:34] <malin_> phpn00b: where you see how many cores there are and how much % they are working
[13:34] <lahwran> bastidrazor: how interesting
[13:35] <malin_> phpn00b: http://paste.ubuntu.com/856519/
[13:35] <mongy> phpn00b, htop is nice shell app also
[13:35] <japro> how do i leave a ftp console session when the connection timed out?
[13:35] <cdj> bastidrazor, lahwran, that I'm aware of, I want something YUM style -- http://www.configureinstallsetup.com/files/yum_install_httpd/yum_install_httpd_1.PNG
[13:35] <lahwran> japro: ctrl+d
[13:36] <japro> nope
[13:36] <cdj> see how it lists httpd - i386 - 2.2.11-2.fc10
[13:36] <japro> i mean i can kill the ftp client externally
[13:36] <monohedron> how to unpack an mzp file on ubuntu
[13:36] <lahwran> japro: perhaps ctrl+c then - ctrl+d is "end of input", ctrl+c is "exit"
[13:36] <japro> but that cant be the "proper" solution
[13:36] <phpn00b> malin_, not sure what is wrong. mine display the 8 cores correctly :-)
[13:36] <mrguser> Hy
[13:36] <bastidrazor> cdj: if you're using 32bit then its a 32bit .deb.. if you're using 64bit its 64 or it'll not it otherwise
[13:36] <MonkeyDust> 8 cores *drool*
[13:36] <japro> when i type quit it just "waits" when i then ctrl-c it just goes back to the ftp prompt
[13:37] <malin_> phpn00b:  i had same problems with my desktop that had 8 cores, it did only display 1
[13:37] <lahwran> japro: how strange
[13:37] <mongy> 4 real, 4 HT :)
[13:37] <cdj> bastidrazor, it's not about showing the arch
[13:37] <japro> well i guess i'll continue with the kill solution
[13:38] <lahwran> bastidrazor: what does that have to do with his question?
[13:38] <sacarlson> monohedron: will your mzp file not open in nautilus?
[13:38] <mrguser> don't have
[13:38] <bastidrazor> cdj: then i'm confused as to what you want.
[13:38] <cdj> did you see the pic I provided?
[13:38] <mrguser> Alguem aqui é brasileiro?
[13:38] <japro> HT performance boosts can be rather impressive for certain tasks
[13:38] <bastidrazor> cdj: yes.
[13:38] <cdj> bastidrazor, well, then you saw that it shows the version and among other things the arch and repo too
[13:39] <monohedron> sacarlson, nope nothing under linux seem to open them
[13:39] <cdj> ubuntu only shows the package name, but nevermind I figured it out
[13:39] <cdj> apt-get -V install
[13:39] <monohedron> i wouldn't ask if i hadn't hased this already
[13:39] <monohedron> chased
[13:39] <phpn00b> would ne nice ifi gnome3 has something similar to Desktop Folder in kde4
[13:40] <cdj> without -V: The following NEW packages will be installed:  nginx nginx-common nginx-full; WITH -V: The following NEW packages will be installed:  nginx (1.1.14-1)
[13:40] <cdj> that's what I wanted
[13:40] <cdj> thanks anyway :)
[13:40] <mongy> phpn00b, I'm sure there is a widget for screenlet or similar for that
[13:40] <lahwran> cdj: you're welcome anyway
[13:40] <Segaja> hi, i'm trying to upgrade an ubuntu 11.10 system. but i get errors during the upgrade
[13:40] <chown_> like if i have to move a bunch of folders at the same time i have to do a mv /path1 /finalpath, i mean if the finalpath is the same could i pass a lot of arguments to be moved?
[13:41] <cdj> now where do I configure so that when I type in apt-get it automatically does apt-get -V
[13:41] <cdj> like when "rewriting" commands such as sl to ls
[13:42] <chown_> cdj: .bashrc ?
[13:42] <cdj> terminal aliases
[13:43] <bastidrazor> cdj: .bashrc alias 'apt-get'='apt-get -V'
[13:43] <cdj> thanks
[13:44] <Segaja> http://pastie.org/private/k5ithz2hjmtctq623cnba << any ideas?

[13:48] <ajnabicancer> i was having resolution issue then i installed Nvidia drivers. after drivers installed display gone with message"signals out of rang". recently i recovered by selecting to load ubuntu in "failsafe graphic mode". now i am back to 1024x768. but i can't change resolution.
[13:49] <ajnabicancer> any help
[13:49] <soreau> ajnabicancer: You probably aren't using the nvidia driver while in low graphics mode
[13:49] <soreau> ajnabicancer: Why did you install old 175 driver not in ubuntu repos?
[13:50] <ajnabicancer> soreau: i am new to ubuntu. i did what i was told from this place.
[13:50] <soreau> ajnabicancer: Well you should always use repo packages, especially when it comes to drivers
[13:51] <wondering> why don't the icons on my new docky work.. They just bounce but will not open.
[13:51] <ajnabicancer> soreau: i don't know anything about commands and packages
[13:52] <soreau> ajnabicancer: It's pretty easy to install the driver from repos after you install ubuntu.. you just use the graphical installer it prompts you
[13:52] <bastidrazor> wondering: ask the makers of your dock.
[13:53] <ajnabicancer> soreau: How to get that repos?
[13:53] <wondering> bastidrazor Yeah, that was very helpful.  I googled it but didn't get any direction. Thanks for your help
[13:53] <soreau> ajnabicancer: They're already included by default
[13:54] <ajnabicancer> soreau: i'm sorry but i didn't follow you. what should i do now?
[13:54] <bastidrazor> wondering: just pointing you in a more appropriate direction.
[13:55] <Bert_2> Hi, I'm having some sound issues in 11.10, my nforce audio isn't working, I checked some stuff online and strangely enough it's using the hda-intel kernel module for my audio, shouldn't I be using another kernel module ?
[13:55] <soreau> ajnabicancer: Well you already installed the 175 version of the driver manually yes?
[13:55] <wondering> I have no Idea who made this application.  Does anyone else have any ideas as to why my icons only bounce twice on my newly installed Docky station?  The icons won't open the appkications
[13:56] <ajnabicancer> soreau: let me tell, someone from here told me to check Xorg.0.log. i have copied this file in xp. can pastebin it.
[13:56] <soreau> ajnabicancer: xorg.conf doesn't say much. /var/log/Xorg.0.log is much more useful
[13:57] <ajnabicancer> soreau: i am a newbie. don't have much command in linux.(ubuntu)
[13:57] <ajnabicancer> soreau: i can pastebin Xorg.0.log file.
[14:00] <JulianMuttray> so, can anybody help with with a tinsy problem I've been having?
[14:01] <[AJS]> where are the screensave settings in Unity?
[14:01] <wondering> Docky help please. my icons only bounce twice on my newly installed Docky station?  The icons don't open the applications, they only bounce???
[14:01] <[AJS]> *screensaver
[14:05] <santubun> how to the driver of modem ?
[14:05] <santubun> sorry i mean to install !
[14:07] <ajnabicancer_> soreau: here's the LOG ---->http://www.mediafire.com/?6mf46ndy445lfjc
[14:08] <rustygates> good day all
[14:08] <muesli> is there an easy way to find out which recommended packages i'm currently missing? (e.g. all packages that are recommended by another already installed package)
[14:09] <soreau> ajnabicancer_: You really have got to learn how to pastebin. I'm not downloading that file
[14:09] <soreau> ! pastebin | ajnabicancer_
[14:10] <ajnabicancer_> soreau: i tried and that didn't work for me, so i uploaded the file. no problem, i'll try again the pastebin
[14:10] <muellisoft> muesli: Hm. there should be. I think Ubuntu has preset to automatically pull suggested (or recommended?) packages. So a plain aptitude install -f (or the like) might help you. Otherwise you might be able to find the setting to pull your desired suggestions then run aptitude.
[14:10] <soreau> ajnabicancer_: yes it seems to be unusually large..
[14:12] <ajnabicancer_> soreau: trying......
[14:12] <soreau> ajnabicancer_: In any event, my recommendation would be to get rid of whatever driver(s) you've installed and just install them using the jockey utility (graphical driver installer)
[14:12] <ubuntu-guy> hi
[14:13] <tuecky> Ist es möglich cinnamon unter 11.04 zu installieren ?
[14:13] <Muelli> !de | tuecky
[14:13] <tuecky> hm
[14:13] <ajnabicancer_> Soreau: tell me how to do what you just defined.
[14:14] <ajnabicancer_> soreau: pastebin taking too long......
[14:14] <ajnabicancer_> sorry
[14:14] <ubuntu-guy> What happened of Ubuntu 11.10? Everything changed and even to open "terminal" need to search..... OH!!!
[14:14] <soreau> ajnabicancer_: I have no idea what you've done so far so I can't really say for your current install. The sure fire way is to install ubuntu fresh and then install the nvidia driver when prompted
[14:15] <santubun> can anybody tell me how to install amd  audio , video ,motherboard driver ?
[14:15] <jtannenbaum> japanese filenames/paths end up looking like this: http://i.imgur.com/65z98.png
[14:15] <Muelli> santubun: why would you do that? You usually don't need to do that
[14:16] <hacked_kernel> how to set DNS server IPs like opendns for dnsmasq to resolve ?
[14:16] <santubun> what do u mean ?
[14:16] <timmit> Why is https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/dev no more providing updates?
[14:16] <ajnabicancer_> soreau: How to get rid of Installed drivers, and then about utility (graphic driver installed)
[14:16] <soreau> ajnabicancer_: You probably have to run the driver installer again and tell it to uninstall

[14:22] <ubuntu-guy> bencahill, Sorry?
[14:22] <cdj> open it via dash, lock to launcher and later you could just super+# it
[14:22] <bencahill> ubuntu-guy: Ctrl+Alt+t
[14:23] <cdj> or ctrl+alt+t as benca said
[14:23] <ubuntu-guy> oh yeah got it
[14:23] <ubuntu-guy> thanks bencahill

[14:36] <FCR2012> I have a question,when the next ubuntu will come out
[14:36] <JasonGriffee> I have a wireless card that suddenly stops using its wireless capabilities, what could cause this?
[14:36] <theadmin> FCR2012: Ubuntu releases are April and October every year
[14:37] <FCR2012> Thanks theadmin
  i.e  after six month  !
[14:37] <FCR2012> Oh
[14:37] <dawciobiel> I need to run "fsck" and to do it i need to lunch system in "single user mode". But how to do it when i have no GRUB installeded? Do i need to install GRUB or there is another way to lunch single-user-mode?
[14:37] <theadmin> FCR2012: That's where the version numbers come from, they're YY.MM
[14:37] <runicfox> @ FCR2012 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[14:38] <FCR2012> Ok then
[14:38] <oCean> FCR2012: more accurately, it will be out when it's ready. Plans are april and october indeed
[14:38] <HyperCow> fcr: 26.04.2012
[14:38] <dawciobiel> In my case LILO is not installeded as well
[14:38] <ox3a> perhaps 12.04 will be released on may
[14:38] <FCR2012> Ok thanks for the info
[14:39] <HyperCow> ox3a: On may? It's been april, always.

[14:39] <theadmin> dawciobiel: If you don't have GRUB, you won't be able to use the system...
[14:39] <theadmin> dawciobiel: Thus, you need a livecd if you *really* don't have GRUB
[14:39] <santubun> i heard that LTS is going to be for 5 year !
[14:39] <oCean> HyperCow: incorrect. Release in '06 was in june
[14:39] <dawciobiel> well my system is already installed and runing
[14:40] <FCR2012> Man how a guy don't have GRUB?

[14:55] <wondering> Ive spent hours on google and everything else I can think of....     Rythmbox icon only bounces on Docky but will not open??? Have tried removing, re drag and drop, logging out, restarting, activating in docky settings, nothing seems to start the app from the Docky bar... Can someone help me???
[14:55] <FCR2012> Because i know a bit of ubuntu

[14:55] <bazhang> FCR2012, stop that please
[14:55] <FCR2012> Ubuntu has already an antivirus
[14:55] <soreau> wondering: Does rythmbox work when you start it normally?
[14:56] <NahsiN> That Guy...if you downloaded the guest additions iso then you have to mount it in your virtual machine. That option is there in the virtual machine settings. After it's been mounted it becomes like a cd and then you can install guest additions from within your virtual machine.
[14:56] <danileigh79> soreau: What do you mean
[14:56] <wondering> soreau yes from the start menu way
[14:56] <soreau> wondering: Try running docky from a terminal then try starting docky and see if there is any interesting output

[15:01] <theadmin> hacked_kernel: Hm okay
[15:01] <virtuaposta> j #centos
[15:01] <milen8204> Chipzzz: what is this ?
[15:01] <Chipzzz> milen8204: also scp
[15:01] <BluesKaj> wondering,  what about the menu ..does it run from there ?
[15:01] <milen8204> is thouse a program?
[15:02] <FCR2012> I am in Off topic channel,if you need help at mounting c drives in DosBox meet me at #Ubuntu-offtopic
[15:02] <hacked_kernel> theadmin, do you a vhost that hides IP that i can use in znc?
[15:02] <Chipzzz> milen8204: they both do file transfers between different hosts... "man scp" and "man rsync" for info
[15:02] <NahsiN> Okay so I typed >>/ignore * joins parts quits
[15:02] <milen8204> ok thanks
[15:02] <ichiro_> Not quite ubuntu, but the debian channel is quiet.
[15:02] <NahsiN> and still nothing is happening.
[15:02] <theadmin> FCR2012: Look, nobody needs help with that. If you know something there's no point in shoving it down everybody's throats >.>
[15:02] <wondering> BluesKaj  Yes it runs fine from the menu and terminal ...  Just bounces in Docky
[15:02] <NahsiN> Yes I did not put ">>"
[15:02] <ichiro_> I'm having issues with intel i810 on squeeze. I've done an i910.modeset=0 at boot to get the thing up and running but graphical performance is poor compared to etch and i get artefacts in some cases. Moving a window hammers the cpu. Don't have this issue on a 76Mhz pII :P
[15:02] <ichiro_> Any ideas?
[15:02] <bazhang> ichiro_, #debian
[15:02] <Chipzzz> NahsiN: you should be all set :-)
[15:02] <bazhang> ichiro_, debian is NOT supported here
[15:02] <theadmin> hacked_kernel: No idea, I don't use znc myself
[15:03] <theadmin> hacked_kernel: I just have a friend who uses it and says it's good
[15:03] <ichiro_> bazhang: Can you recommend a different channel that people actually use then?
[15:03] <soreau> ><
[15:03] <bazhang> ichiro_, ##linux maybe or check alis
[15:03] <BluesKaj> wondering,  well, I guess docky is the culprit

[15:04] <soreau> ichiro_: #debian or possibly #intel-gfx
[15:04] <wondering> BluesKaj   wait... I clicked on it again and terminal gave me a error.. I will pastebin it.
[15:04] <Chipzzz> ichiro_: look here: http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode

[15:05] <NahsiN> what stupid mistake I might be doing? :(
[15:05] <bazhang> NahsiN, what irc client
[15:06] <NahsiN> Quassel
[15:06] <NahsiN> Does it have it's own settings?
[15:06] <bazhang> NahsiN, perhaps ask in #quassel , I will check as well

[15:31] <kinglet> I mean big and without quality!
[15:31] <qazokm> i dont think its your nvidia driver's fault kinglet
[15:31] <l0ll0lll> kinglet: it seems you might be unable to make it nice because nouveau KMS is no longer in use when you use nvidia binary driver

[15:33] <w1jp> Pidgin
[15:33] <wondering> bazhang sorry.. it was ubuntu asking
[15:33] <kinglet> l0ll0lll, boot-splash is ugly now :(

[15:34] <w1jp> Tnx @banzhang
[15:34] <Chipzzz> Hamed: since you are asking i assume it did not fix the wired connection?
[15:34] <kinglet> l0ll0lll, I think there must be a way to fix it! what do u think?

[15:39] <pushpop> something is currently filling up my / partition

[15:40] <pushpop> how can I found out whats filling it up
[15:40] <bazhang> !helpme | ajnabicancer
[15:40] <sgo11> hi, I have added my user to group 'root'. why can't I access files/dirs which are root group accessible? thanks.
[15:40] <jrib> sgo11: why would you do that?
[15:40] <ajnabicancer> bazhang: helpme
[15:41] <bazhang> ajnabicancer, stop repeating every 6o seconds
[15:41] <zykotick9> pushpop: you need to find out what that "something" is.  from terminal "cd /" then "du -sh * 2>/dev/null" will give you size of the base directories
[15:41] <w1jp> sgo11 you need to chagnyour group id
[15:42] <w1jp> it defaults to your gid
[15:42] <sgo11> jrib, thanks for your reply.  :) I changed my apache2 config files permission. /etc/apache2/. by default, they are readable by others. i did chmod o-rx. then, i will not be able to read them. so I added myself to group root.
[15:43] <sgo11> w1jp, thanks for your reply. but i don't quite get it. for other group, if i am in the group and files are group readable, I can read them fine. why root group is different?
[15:43] <jrib> sgo11: better to create a new group like "www-editors", chgrp of all of those files, give appropriate permissions for the group with chown, and then add your user to that group.  Or, just use sudo
[15:44] <luke--_> is there a tool / way with or without GUI to see scancodes sent by a keyboard the moment you press a key?
[15:44] <ajnabicancer> any help related to my issue?
[15:44] <sgo11> jrib, use sudo to edit files is fine. but since they are not readable anymore. sudo ls gives me headache. sudo cd will not work. so..
[15:45] <zykotick9> luke--_: xev?
[15:45] <jrib> sgo11: you can obtain a root shell with « sudo -i » if you really don't want to create a groupc for your www files
[15:45] <zykotick9> sgo11: "sudo cd foo" will never work if it's root only
[15:46] <w1jp> @sgo11 you just need to make sure you are part of that group. Then change your active gid via "newgrp the new group"
[15:46] <luke--_> zykotick9: seems good, thank you!
[15:46] <sgo11> jrib, sudo -i is an option. I am doing it right now. just feel not safe. afraid I will type rm -rf / by accident. :)
[15:47] <Chipzzz> kinglet: ajnabicancer: & others: here is an overview from debian: http://wiki.debian.org/KernelModesetting#nVidia_GfxCards ... will find you the driver dox that describe the available config settings....
[15:47] <ajnabicancer> how to uninstall nvidia drivers. there are three listed in "hardware drivers"? and then how can i find perfect drivers for nvidia and solution to resolution?
[15:47] <sgo11> zykotick9, that's true. :)
[15:47] <w1jp> your default group is yourself  user= sgo11; group=sgo11
[15:47] <jrib> sgo11: then setup a group for your www files.  Adding your user to the root group is not good practice
[15:47] <sgo11> w1jp, I am not talking about default group.....
[15:47] <wondering> does anyone know anything about docky and icons.... PLEASE help.. I have been working on this problem for hours
[15:47] <ajnabicancer> Chipzzz: ubuntu is new for me & i don't know much about commands....
[15:48] <sgo11> jrib, I think i will use sudo -i -u root for now. thanks.
[15:48] <jrib> wondering: best to just ask your question
[15:48] <jrib> sgo11: "-u root" is redundant
[15:48] <wondering> rhythmbox icon only bounces on the Docky... It doesn't start the music player
[15:48] <sgo11> jrib, got it. thanks.

[15:51] <trakinas> hi fellas. Im trying to run memtest, but it get stuck at the fisrt screen. no keyboard, no action, no message like "checking your memory". Im starting it from grub. Am I doing something wrong?
[15:51] <nava> hot2trot : lifrea
[15:51] <zykotick9> w1jp: yes, everytime i wake my laptop while it's sleeping - it's grumpy and yells at me.  </joking>  Perhaps you could expand on what you mean by "issues".
[15:52] <iuzar> hello
[15:53] <w1jp> @zykotic9: when the laptop wakes up from sleep, the video is corrupted. Since I KNOW that it is asking me for my password, I just type that in the most of the corruption get painted over
[15:53] <sgo11> jrib, I think I made a big mistake..... I was trying to remove my user from root group with an incorrect command: sudo usermod -G root "$USER", now I no longer belong to any groups. can you please let me know if it's possible to undo it? or which group should I belong to in order to make my system work properly.... like audio etc....
[15:54] <jigspan> any one explain how to install net snmp on ubuntu 11.10?
[15:54] <zykotick9> w1jp: what graphics card?
[15:54] <w1jp> not sure.
[15:54] <zykotick9> w1jp: "lspci | grep -i vga" from terminal to find out
[15:54] <hot2trot> nava: i was just googling, it will make a ding when there is a new feed?
[15:55] <nava> yes, Liferea is correct name
[15:55] <treadstone90> Can anyone tell me how to build Cppunit ?
[15:55] <jrib> sgo11: I don't have a list of the default groups handy.  It's probably in a config file somewhere (I don't know where).  If you can't find it either, just create a new user and see which groups he belongs to
[15:56] <nava> hot2trot: even it can connect to your google reader
[15:56] <w1jp> @zykotick9: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G84M [Quadro NVS 140M] (rev a1)
[15:56] <sgo11> jrib, that's a smart workaround. thanks. by the way, what is the proper command to remove user from group? i just know how to add....
[15:56] <hot2trot> nava: me likes... thank you!
[15:56] <jrib> sgo11: just use: deluser USER GROUP
[15:57] <w1jp> System Info says my Deiver is 'Unknown'
[15:57] <sgo11> jrib, got it. thanks.

[16:00] <zykotick9> w1jp: i see several people are experiencing your issue.  Are you using the 173 nvidia driver?
[16:01] <zykotick9> w1jp: this is an old bug, but might have some info for you https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-173/+bug/34043
[16:01] <w1jp> @zykotic9: I have an undefined driver
[16:02] <zykotick9> w1jp: don't use @ in nicks (in irssi i'm not getting highlighted)
[16:02] <zykotick9> w1jp: "undefined" what do you mean?  Can you open nvidia-settings?  You should see a version in there.
[16:06] <w1jp>  zykotick9: I have an "Unkown" in my Dislpays driver
[16:06] <somethinginteres> what prefix do I need to set for ./configure so that my apps compiled from source run when I just simply type their name instead of being told they're not installed?
[16:07] <zykotick9> somethinginteres: are you aware of checkinstall?
[16:07] <javierf_> Hi! I can't connect to my wifi after trying to ser WPA encryption. Someone can help me configuring it? It's very annoying, I followed a tutorial in internet and everything looks correct... thanks
[16:07] <somethinginteres> zykotick9: actually, yes I just forgot to use it in this one case unfortunately, thanks for the heads up though.
[16:07] <zykotick9> w1jp: i don't know what "Display driver" is?  Have you installed an nvidia driver from the driver tool?
[16:08] <w1jp>  zykotick9: I lopen SystemInfo and the Graphics settins are "Driver Unknown"
[16:09] <w1jp>  zykotick9: when I go to Displays, I am told the same thing.
