[17:11] <Spikestuff> Merdam: Ubuntu is based on Debian, so I suppose it's just a matter of choice...
[17:11] <skrub> I'm trying to run 2 monitors on an ATI card and 2 on an NVidia card, can anyone help me out?
[17:12] <swiss_chris> Hi - I have a question regarding default vhosts in apache
[17:12] <swiss_chris> I have various sites-available.
[17:12] <swiss_chris> and one of them is default.
[17:12] <swiss_chris> I presume it's the one lowes on the alphabetical order.
[17:12] <swiss_chris> Can I override that alphabetical criterion?
[17:12] <swiss_chris> Can I choose which sites-available vhost is my default?
[17:12] <Spikestuff> skrub: Are you running Ubuntu 11.04?
[17:12] <swiss_chris> I erased all vhosts in httpd.conf
[17:13] <man567> what can i get the best softwaer for ubuntu
[17:13] <usr13> thecpaptain: Was it associating with the essid?  iwconfig  will tell you if it picked up the essid.
[17:13] <usr13> thecpaptain: If so, it is possible that the DHCP server is not turned on.
[17:13] <skrub> @Spikestuff yes
[17:13] <tool_kit> can i get a proxy for ubuntu?
[17:13] <Spikestuff> man567: Try the Ubuntu Software Center to get a bunch of useful software.
[17:14] <Spikestuff> skrub: Go to System Settings, then under "Hardware" go to Monitors and you should be able to configure a dual-screen setup there.
[17:14] <thecpaptain> usr13: hm, i ran iwconfig just now when i'm connected to the other network, I should run it when i'm trying to access the other one right ?
[17:14] <tool_kit> and whats the best way to speed it up?
[17:14] <man567> tq spikestuff
[17:14] <skrub> Spikestuff: it isn't that easy, only the ATI monitors show up and even those cannot be configured
[17:15] <tool_kit> good evening room :)
[17:15] <glebihan> swiss_chris, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/en/vhosts/examples.html#default
[17:15] <prakas> good evening
[17:15] <tetsuo55> i keep getting the error " connot find quota files to run quotas on/off
[17:15] <tool_kit> i just installed ubuntu :) it cant find my sound card
[17:15] <prakas> lol
[17:15] <usr13> thecpaptain: Yes
[17:15] <thecpaptain> usr13: to clarify. I should run iwconfig when i'm trying to access the network I want to gain access to right ?
[17:16] <tetsuo55> when running sudo quotaon -avug
[17:16] <prakas> tool_kit: what sound card is it
[17:16] <Spikestuff> skrub: Try reading http://hobbylobby.wordpress.com/2007/09/08/dual-monitors-in-ubuntu-xorgconf-driver-ati-card/, that may help.
[17:16] <usr13> thecpaptain: see if your wifi device is acquiring the essid
[17:16] <man567> how to go to the block web site
[17:17] <tool_kit> hi prakas. it used to run on realtec or pci.. how can i check?
[17:17] <man567> how to go to the block web site  by use firefox
[17:17] <rabbi11> http://paste.ubuntu.com/680729/ This is what i get during "Check" in Update Manager... Any important files or updates are missing ? should I take any steps or just ignore it.. just worried of system files not getting updated.
[17:17] <swiss_chris> glebihan: that lets me create a new default vhost. but I would like to reuse an existing vhost and just tell apache somehow that it's the default.
[17:17] <samuelsapps> man567 it's depend how your's ISP/Office blocking method
[17:17] <prakas> tool_kit: i got a realtek hda audio chip and it works without issues in ubuntu 10.10
[17:17] <swiss_chris> In fact, I symlinked the "default" vhost site to the vhost I want, but it seems that has no effect.
[17:18] <swiss_chris> apache prefers to use the vhost with the name lowest on the alphabet.
[17:18] <glebihan> swiss_chris, you can modify your exiting vhosts according to that documentation in order to make it the default
[17:18] <usr13> man567: What is your native language?
[17:18] <defunkt> nnull, im looking to run a script(s) to directly interact with a process (command line game server) so im not sure stdin will quite do the trick.  any other ideas?

[17:18] <zimbres> hi, I sent a job to my printer and it is processing it since 6 minutes is this normal?
[17:18] <swiss_chris> glebihan: o.k. - but do you know then why I have a "default" vhost in my sites-available if it is not recognized as default by apache?
[17:18] <gucko> I'm getting this error: libproxy0_0.3.1-2ubuntu5_amd64.deb  403  Forbidden [IP: ]

[17:19] <gucko> what's wrong plz?
[17:19] <hamedmmm> where can i download dialup driver???
[17:19] <glebihan> swiss_chris, default is just the name of the file, it does not change the way Apache handles it
[17:19] <chewy_> anyone here using a htpc case?
[17:19] <skrub> Spikestuff: I'm not sure how to add another device to this... only the ATI card is showing up in the xorg.conf
[17:20] <usr13> thecpaptain_: You will need to compare and see if the essid is correct for the AP you are trying to connect to.
[17:20] <hamedmmm> where can i download dialup driver???
[17:20] <man567> usr13 malaysia @ malay language
[17:20] <glebihan> swiss_chris, you can even have several vhosts in that file, and obviously several vhosts cannot be default at the same time
[17:20] <thecpaptain_> usr13: hm, firstly, what is an essid, and how do i do that ?
[17:20] <thecpaptain_> usr13: hm, firstly, what is an essid, and how do i do that ?
[17:20] <swiss_chris> glebihan: I see.
[17:20] <glebihan> swiss_chris, for more details you may want to ask in #httpd
[17:20] <hamedmmm> where can i download dialup driver???
[17:21] <kuchiku> is there any app that allow to peek into the streaming video url ?
[17:21] <Spikestuff> skrub: I'm sorry, I don't know what to do then - let me see if I can find out for you. Anyone else can be willing to help as well, so you may want to ask in a half hour or so too.

[17:22] <Featurefreak> hmm, anyone know if ubuntu are going to move into app hosting with the One platform?
[17:22] <thecpaptain_> usr13: any ideas ?
[17:22] <usr13> thecpaptain_:  essid is the network name that a Wireless Access Point uses.  The first step in accessing a Wireless Access Point is getting the Wireless Network Adapter to assign itself the same essid that the Wireless Access Point uses.
[17:22] <lo-fi_> ok so using iwconfig i was able to get wlan0 to recognise the essid of my router, and now im running dhclient wlan0 for an ip, but i know the router has a WPA which i know, so i dont think this is going to work
[17:22] <Featurefreak> ubuntuApps, that would be awsome
[17:22] <skrub> Spikestuff: it seems like the Nvidia and ATI drivers won't run side by side like they do in windows... I'm not sure how to force that
[17:22] <thecpaptain_> usr13: hm i see
[17:22] <Featurefreak> or Uc2 :P
[17:22] <samuelsapps> man567:one way is you can use proxy, there's lot of proxy in the net, try find one
[17:22] <usr13> thecpaptain_: If there is encryption, that must be negotiated first.
[17:22] <Spikestuff> skrub: Probably with messing around with some sort of configuration file, we just need to know which one...
[17:22] <nnull> defunkt, dont wanna send ya on another wild goose chase.. maybe #bash / #perl / #linux can help
[17:23] <gumus> guys
[17:23] <Featurefreak> hosted instances, that's what i really want. with Ubuntu one storage backing it
[17:23] <samuelsapps> because you use proxy there's some bandwidth limitation
[17:23] <gumus> ubuntu doesn't recognize my built-in webcam. Can you help me?
[17:23] <thecpaptain_> usr13: hm all right, so how do we find out whether the essids match ?
[17:23] <Spikestuff> How do I go upon formatting my whole hard drive from Ubuntu while it is running? Obviously it is busy, so I'm not sure on how to do this. I want to try to install another OS, but it is saying I don't have enough space and I am guessing since Ubuntu is on there.
[17:24] <hamedmmm> how to install source packages???
[17:24] <glebihan> Spikestuff, you can't format it while it's mounted
[17:24] <glebihan> Spikestuff, you'll have to use a live CD or USB stick
[17:24] <samuelsapps> actually to by pass website, you can google it how to by pass blocked website, you can find a lot of method you can use
[17:24] <samuelsapps> good luck!
[17:25] <thecpaptain_> usr13: any ideas ?
[17:25] <swiss_chris> glebihan: In the vhost I want to use as default, I entered <VirtualHost _default_:80>, then restarted apache. however apache2ctl -S still shows the alphabetically lower vhost as default.
[17:25] <swiss_chris> what might I be doing wrong?
[17:25] <Spikestuff> glebihan: So I would have to unmount it and then format it?
[17:25] <glebihan> hamedmmm, you don't "install" sources packages, you download them, and that's done with "apt-get source packagenam"
[17:25] <gumus> nobody ?
[17:25] <glebihan> Spikestuff, yes
[17:25] <gumus> nobody knows how to do it ?
[17:26] <usr13> thecpaptain_: Once the proper passphrase is entered and received by the Wireless Access Point, the PC's Wireless Network Adapter can associate using the same essid (name) as the Wireless Access Point.  Then the PCs Wireless Network Adapter asks for IP information from the Wireless Access Point's DHCP server.  If the DHCP server receives the request and sends back proper IP information, the Wireless Network Adapter on your PC will use that information to establis

[17:26] <Guest90549> hey guys. super + W is waaay too close to ctrl + W. i keep closing firefox windows accidentally. is there any plans to solve this problem?
[17:26] <thecpaptain_> usr13: to establish a connection
[17:26] <usr13> thecpaptain_: We can not make all that stuff work, only you can.
[17:27] <glebihan> swiss_chris, well I'm not sure then. I've never had that kind of issues, I have one vhost without a ServerName directive, which is taken as default by apache
[17:27] <thecpaptain_> usr13: yeah I figured as much, but how do I go about doing it ?
[17:27] <genii-around> hamedmmm: The source package will usually have a suffix of -dev
[17:27] <glebihan> swiss_chris, again you should probably ask in #httpd, they should know more about i
[17:27] <glebihan> *it*
[17:27] <usr13> thecpaptain_: I have given you all the information I have.
[17:27] <glebihan> Spikestuff, you're welcome
[17:28] <the> hello
[17:28] <gumus> ubuntu doesn't recognize my built-in webcam. Can you help me?
[17:28] <the> hello
[17:28] <usr13> If someone else has any further information on how to connect to a Wireless Access Point, please pass it on to thecpaptain_
[17:28] <the> hello
[17:28] <lo-fi_> hm when running wpa_supplicant its saying failed to initiate AP scan
[17:29] <Spikestuff> glebihan: One more problem, when I try to unmount it, it says it's still busy. I am guessing I need to create another Ubuntu partition?
[17:29] <lo-fi_> says device or resource busy
[17:29] <prakas> alsa-oss comes preinstalled in ubuntu 11.04 or not?
[17:29] <glebihan> Spikestuff, that's why I told you you will have to use a live CD or USB stick, you can't unmount the drive on which your current system is running
[17:29] <the_owl> hello
[17:30] <thecpaptain_> usr13: all right, if you don't have any further ideas then thank you for what you have so far provided :)
[17:30] <Spikestuff> Ah, alright.
[17:30] <CyborgSmurf> Is there a possible way to play StarCraft on wireless?
[17:30] <CyborgSmurf> I mean, LAN?
[17:30] <thecpaptain_> usr13: so you don't think the problem might be the WPA2 connection and Ubuntu ?
[17:30] <swiss_chris> thumbs: the guys at #ubuntu told me about http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/en/vhosts/examples.html#default and when that didn't work asked me to get back to you guys :-)
[17:31] <jorge> @swiss_chris: the documentation does say that _default_ catches requests NOT serviced by any other vhost... check the other vhosts
[17:31] <the_owl>
[17:31] <swiss_chris> jorge: aha.
[17:32] <usr13> thecpaptain_: Yes I DO think the problem is with the WPA2 authentication.  More than likely, yes.
[17:32] <prakas> thecpaptain_: why dont u specify the essid of your ap in iwconfig?
[17:32] <swiss_chris> jorge: so there's no way to specify which vhost should be serviced first.
[17:32] <usr13> thecpaptain_: If y ou could turn off the encryption, that would do the trick.
[17:32] <the_owl2> hi
[17:32] <the_owl> how i can ho the_owl2
[17:32] <usr13> thecpaptain_: But we can not do that for you.  Only you can.
[17:32] <thecpaptain_> usr13: and for that i need to access the router, hence the router's configuration challenge right ?
[17:33] <the_owl> hi the owl2
[17:33] <thecpaptain_> prakas: hm how do i do that ?
[17:33] <the_owl> good name
[17:33] <jorge> @swiss_chris, i don't see what would be the ponint of having two vhosts that match the same ip/hostname and port
[17:33] <the_owl2> thx
[17:33] <usr13> thecpaptain_: You need to know the make and model of the router. YOu probably also need  a wired connection to it, etc.
[17:33] <CyborgSmurf> Anybody?
[17:33] <the_owl> maybe you have my name because we are the same people?
[17:33] <the_owl2> yes
[17:34] <Fenixdeux> oh noenes.. Compiz Config doesn't fire up upon fireing up. already tried to remove and reinstall it. help would be appreciated. cannot live without "full screen task switcher" coming from nine, may I add picth black, years of OS X
[17:34] <jorge> @swiss_chris if what you mean by default is catching *:80, then do that
[17:34] <thecpaptain_> usr13: hmm
[17:34] <prakas> thecpaptain_: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "wifissid"
[17:34] <prakas> change the ssid to match the id of your wifi
[17:34] <usr13> thecpaptain_: sudo iwconfig essid type-essid-here
[17:34] <swiss_chris> jorge: here's what I'm trying to do. I would like all vhosts to be accessible locally by their different host names. but I would like one particular vhost to be accessible from the outside (local netword) via IP address (and I don't know the IP address yet!)
[17:35] <maalac> installing fglrx using kernel <IP_ADDRESS>? anybody knows ..
[17:35] <swiss_chris> jorge: any idea on how to best set this up ?
[17:35] <usr13> prakas: The only problem is that it appears that he is not getting passed the wpa authentication.
[17:35] <hamedmmm> i need Dlink dilauo modem driver
[17:35] <thecpaptain_> prakas: and the SSID i want is the one that iwconfig showed me as Nicnmake:"XXXXXX" right ?
[17:35] <Travis-42> Anyone know why the Activity Journal's blacklist plugin doesn't work?
[17:35] <tetsuo55> allright ive googled a dozen or so pages
[17:35] <swiss_chris> jorge: so the guys over at #httpd recommendet setting all vhosts to *:80
[17:36] <tetsuo55> i cannot find a solution for "sudo quotaon -avug: cannot find quota file on / "
[17:36] <hamedmmm> i installed aircrack so where can i start it?
[17:36] <akerl> hamedmmm: Command line?
[17:36] <glebihan> swiss_chris, that's what I do too, it's the ServerName directive which makes the difference
[17:36] <B0g4r7> Hai guyz.  Is there a way to access the "start menu" in this Unity interface, rather than having to type the name of the app I want to run?
[17:36] <thecpaptain_> usr13: the ESSID i want to change to is the one that iwconfig showed me as Nickname:"XXXXX" ?
[17:36] <tetsuo55> the file is there, i tried deleting but that does not helpo
[17:36] <usr13> thecpaptain_: There is one possibility and that is that network-manager is imporperly negotiating the wpa authentication.  In which case, you could switch to wicd.
[17:36] <prakas> usr13: i just told him this before u wrote lol
[17:36] <swiss_chris> glebihan: can you explain?
[17:36] <prakas> usr13: i see
[17:37] <usr13> thecpaptain_: sudo apt-get remove network-manager ; sudo apt-get install wicd
[17:37] <ascheel> Can someone please take a look at http://pastebin.coom/gsCtztW5 and tell me what's going on?  dmesg shows tons of 'link up' messages for my NIC, a r8169 chipset.   Doesn't matter which kernel I boot to.  Windows does not have any such issues with this PC (if that matters)
[17:37] <CyborgSmurf> StarCraft, Wireless LAN (Ubuntu vs Windoze PX) Help?
[17:37] <hamedmmm> no help me
[17:37] <prakas> thecpaptain_: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan               this will give the essid of all the wifis in range
[17:37] <B0g4r7> And on a related note, why does Unity seem to be such a big step backward re usability?
[17:37] <Spikestuff> I am running a LiveCD with Ubuntu 11.04, can someone help me with creating a new partition that has the least memory that Ubuntu can use so I can format the rest of my hard drive from the former installation?
[17:37] <thecpaptain_> usr13: aight, should i try that before or after the Essid thingie ?
[17:37] <swiss_chris> glebihan: when accessing my vhosts with their server names, all is fine. it's when I use IP addresses that things don't run as I want to.
[17:38] <glebihan> swiss_chris, if you have a ServerName directive like "ServerName www.test.com" inside your vhost, then this vhost will only be used for requests made on the www.test.com domain
[17:38] <akerl> hamedmmm: I told you. aircrack is used from the command line
[17:38] <swiss_chris> glebihan: yes, but I can also access those same vhosts via IP address if they are recognized/chosen by apache as "default" server.
[17:38] <usr13> ascheel: The link you are sending... could it possibly be  http://pastebin.com/gsCtztW5  ?
[17:38] <glebihan> swiss_chris, ok do you have a vhost without a ServerName directive ?
[17:39] <swiss_chris> glebihan: how would I quickly find that out?
[17:39] <usr13> thecpaptain_: Yes
[17:39] <glebihan> swiss_chris, also do you have several IPs pointing to your server ?
[17:39] <ascheel> usr13: I apologize, but yes that is it.  I'll reost.
[17:39] <ascheel> repost*
[17:39] <hamedmmm> how to install gnome 3 in 11.04???
[17:39] <rabbi11> http://paste.ubuntu.com/680729/ This is what i get during "Check" in Update Manager... Any important files or updates are missing ? should I take any steps or just ignore it.. just worried of system files not getting updated.
[17:39] <glebihan> swiss_chris, no quicker way than to check them one by one
[17:39] <swiss_chris> glebihan: <IP_ADDRESS>. and the LAN one.
[17:40] <usr13> hamedmmm: What did you install originally?
[17:40] <ascheel> (fixed my link, thanks usr13): Can someone please take a look at http://pastebin.com/gsCtztW5 and tell me what's going on?  dmesg shows tons of 'link up' messages for my NIC, a r8169 chipset.   Doesn't matter which kernel I boot to.  Windows does not have any such issues with this PC (if that matters)

[17:40] <crash1hd> Can anyone suggest a motherboard that has 6 or more sata controllers onboard video and possibly 1 ide controller?
[17:40] <thecpaptain_> usr13: hm, the ssid seems to match the one in Network manager
[17:40] <hamedmmm> 64bit
[17:40] <thecpaptain_> usr13: i'll try the wicd
[17:40] <maalac> crash1hd: use Asus PQSE2
[17:40] <swiss_chris> glebihan: I checked, none
[17:41] <swiss_chris> glebihan: they all have servername directives
[17:41] <maalac> crash1hd: it has 6 SATA Ports built-lan and Video card
[17:41] <glebihan> swiss_chris, then remove the ServerName directive from the vhost you want to be default
[17:41] <i_is_broke> ok, any suggestions other then the simple ones, how can i stop autologin?
[17:41] <swiss_chris> glebihan: ok will try.
[17:41] <lo-fi_> ok so i ran "sudo wpa_passphrase essid wpa > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf but its saying permission denied
[17:41] <thecpaptain_> usr13: if i type the commands you showed me, will i not lose my internet connection before ubuntu is able to acquire the wicd ?
[17:42] <lo-fi_> why is this?
[17:42] <swiss_chris> glebihan: no difference
[17:42] <Faustus2> is there a way to make symlink-results show up in 'locate' results?
[17:42] <swiss_chris> glebihan: my adobe vhost is still default server
[17:42] <crash1hd> maalac, hmm I googled Asus PQSE2 and nothing comes up?
[17:43] <Spikestuff> I am running a LiveCD with Ubuntu 11.04, can someone help me with creating a new partition that has the least memory that Ubuntu can use so I can format the rest of my hard drive from the former installation?
[17:43] <glebihan> swiss_chris, weird... well one workaround would be to put your default vhost in a file named "0default" so that it would be first alphabetically
[17:44] <glebihan> swiss_chris, not ideal but should work
[17:44] <D3loced> Hey whats up?
[17:44] <thecpaptain_> usr13:  you there mate ?
[17:45] <maalac> crash1hd: try P5QSE2 sorie..
[17:45] <lo-fi_> how come im getting permission denied when trying to do something using sudo?
[17:45] <crash1hd> maalac, no problem :) just wanted to find out :)
[17:45] <jxshxx> Help!  Trying to load 10.04LTS on a laptop.  CD loads, tells me to reboot ... nothing happens after reboot.  Other options?
[17:45] <swiss_chris> glebihan: ha! In the mean time I did exactly that: "0_default" and "0_default-ssl". Works like a charm :-) But I had to put the ServerName back in for <IP_ADDRESS> to work for ssl - don't know why but o.k.
[17:45] <usr13> thecpaptain_: Yes
[17:46] <maalac> crash1hd: there are newer boards same as that ..that's why i currently have ..works great for me..
[17:46] <thecpaptain_> usr13: if i type the commands you showed me, will I not lose network manager before its able to install wicd ?
[17:46] <usr13> thecpaptain_: Yes, sorry I did that backwareds
[17:46] <thecpaptain_> usr13: hehehe lucky i was awake
[17:46] <glebihan> swiss_chris, kind of a mystery there, weird that they couldn't be of more help on that in #httpd
[17:46] <thecpaptain_> usr13: i'll do them reverse then
[17:47] <usr13> thecpaptain_: sudo apt-get install wicd ; sudo apt-get remove network-manager
[17:47] <thecpaptain_> usr13: its necessary to remove network manager for it to work then ?
[17:47] <crash1hd> maalac, hmm does it have onboard video? cause what I see doesnt
[17:47] <usr13> thecpaptain_: Sorry, my mistake.
[17:47] <usr13> and I know better!
[17:47] <swiss_chris> glebihan: what I find really weird is that there is no way to configure which vhost apache takes as default. would be easy enough to make "default" the standard default vhost file. besides, on #httpd they don't recognize or work with sites-available. seems to be a foreign concept over there.
[17:47] <thecpaptain_> usr13: no worries, shit happens
[17:48] <thecpaptain_> usr13: no need to apologize even :)
[17:48] <thecpaptain_> usr13: but it is necessary to remove network manager ?
[17:48] <thecpaptain_> usr13: or should I install wicd and try it without removing first ?
[17:48] <swiss_chris> glebihan: well, it's almost 8pm over here. need some sugar and rest. cheers, and thanks a lot for the help. really appreciate it.
[17:49] <usr13> thecpaptain_: Yes
[17:49] <usr13> No
[17:49] <glebihan> swiss_chris, you're welcome
[17:49] <usr13> thecpaptain_: sudo apt-get install wicd ; sudo apt-get remove network-manager
[17:49] <thecpaptain_> usr13: got it
[17:49] <usr13>      use this command        ^^^^^
[17:49] <usr13> install wicd and remove network-manager all at once.
[17:52] <maalac>  crash1hd: hmm..strange ..let me double check ..
[17:53] <usr13> thecpaptain_: Good.  Now try and connect again.
[17:53] <chesterbdo> Hello. When I go to download Ubuntu, 32bit is the default. And in my Virtual Box host, 32bit is the default. I have a 64bit processor, as I'm sure most people do. Do I use 64bit or not?
[17:54] <johnny45t4332> i think so
[17:54] <usr13> chesterbdo: That is up to you.  I recommend 32bit
[17:54] <Vaati> hello all
[17:54] <usr13> chesterbdo: Unless you have a good reason to use 64bit, go for 32bit.
[17:54] <chesterbdo> usr13: But why on earth would I use 32bit software on my 64bit processor? What is the issue?
[17:55] <rhin0> chesterbdo: 64 bit is faster
[17:55] <rhin0> use 64 bit
[17:55] <johnny45t4332> @chesterbo 64bit works fine nowadays
[17:55] <rhin0> there is no advantage to running a 32 bit version of ubuntu on a 64 bit processor
[17:55] <dabukalam> chesterbdo: how much memory do you have?
[17:56] <chesterbdo> dabukalam: 8gb i think
[17:56] <usr13> chesterbdo: How much RAM do you have?  What do you intend to do with your PC?  What 64bit apps will you be using?  What really large files will you need to negotiate?  What CPU intensive apps will you be using?
[17:56] <glebihan> chesterbdo, then definitely 64 bits
[17:56] <rhin0> chesterbdo: you won't encounter any problems running 64 bit ... 8gb?  you won't meet that not even 1/4 of that
[17:56] <dabukalam> chesterbdo: then definitely go 64bit
[17:56] <gumus> guys Ubuntu doesn't detect my built-in webcam. Can you help me ?
[17:56] <usr13> chesterbdo: Again. It is up to you. Only you can make that decision.
[17:56] <chesterbdo> But why would I ever want to use 32bit? What is the advantage?
[17:56] <glebihan> usr13, with 8gb he *needs* 64 bits
[17:56] <dabukalam> chesterbdo: no advantage any more
[17:57] <thebwt> what channel is appropriate for 11.10b1 discussion?
[17:57] <rhin0> there is no advantage it is only there to run on 32 bit processors there is the option (for some reason) it will run on 64 bit processors
[17:57] <dabukalam> chesterbdo: 64bit is pretty much supported now
[17:57] <usr13> chesterbdo: there are a number of advantages to staying with 32bit.  But again, it is up to you.
[17:57] <johnny45t4332> some outdated applications might be buggy running on 64bits, but most apps should run fine on 64
[17:57] <gumus> should ubuntu.iso be the only file in usb for installation ?
[17:57] <Polah> thebwt: #ubuntu+1
[17:57] <dabukalam> gumus: no
[17:57] <thebwt> Polah: thanks!
[17:58] <dabukalam> !usb > gumus
[17:58] <gumus> ubottu: ok
[17:58] <tetsuo55> i fixed it, had to add -m to the quotacheck command
[17:58] <dabukalam> gumus: ;)
[17:58] <gumus> dabukalam: ok
[17:59] <johnny45t4332> I've got a problem with ubuntu 11.04 which I cross posted on askubuntu, but didnt get a respone: I am running Ubuntu 11.04 64bit with a ATI RadeonHD 5750/5770 (JUNIPER), 4GB ram. When I get to the login screen, all I see is a flickering white box instead of the login dialog. The background displays fine. My hunch is that this problem is not related to the video driver, since I've reinstalled
[17:59] <johnny45t4332> xserver-xorg-video-radeon and deinstalled fglrx. I deleted the xorg.conf and tried different configurations, all with the same result. This only occurred after a recent update - though I don't know which packages got update. Any ideas? thanks
[17:59] <gumus> dabukalam: and also ubuntu doesn't recognize my built-in cam. do you have any idea ?
[17:59] <usr13> chesterbdo: I have a 64bit system but it is also multilib.  Setting up multilib is complicated and you may, or may not need it.  It is up to you.  Install what suits  your needs.  As was just pointed out, most of the software you will use is available in 64bit, probably all, but we have no way of knowing. If, in fact you need 32bit libraries, you can install them as needed.

[17:59] <Luig1> Hey there, I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 but I think I'm going to need to jump ship and reinstall. Is there a way to generate a list of packages that I've installed, excluding the default packages
[18:00] <johnny45t4332> dpkg -l > somefile
[18:00] <Janusman> dabukalam: uhm, anything more specific? =)
[18:00] <Polah> Luig1: No, dpkg -l will give you a list of installed packages though.
[18:00] <Luig1> OK
[18:00] <Janusman> dabukalam: looking for recommendations for better impact
[18:01] <glebihan> Luig1, Polah yes there is a tool for that, can't remember how it's called though, let me check
[18:01] <Luig1> Is there a copy somewhere of that as it comes with the basic 10.10 install?
[18:01] <Luig1> I can just make a diff
[18:02] <Polah> Luig1: If you do dpkg -l > file now and then hold onto it, boot a live session and do the same to different file and then compare them
[18:02] <The_Fred> hello
[18:02] <Luig1> Wonderful idea Polah
[18:02] <Luig1> Thanks
[18:02] <glebihan> !clone [ Luig1
[18:02] <genii-around> Luig1: Alternately, use dpkg --get-selections and --set-selections
[18:02] <The_Fred> I'm working on an adroid app to give ubuntu sppech recognition, but im insure how to implement the pc side of acting on commands, and thoughtttttttttt
[18:02] <glebihan> !clone | Luig1
[18:03] <Luig1> Oh, great

[18:04] <Secris> ok I have been looking for days trying to fix my screen resolution and have tried a few different ways the only problem is none of them tell you what to do when xrandr says the screen can't do the resolution
[18:04] <samuelsapps> it's OK when we install programs start with K* to GNOME environment ?
[18:04] <glebihan> samuelsapps, it's going to require a few dependencies but should work fine
[18:04] <johnny45t4332> @Secris have you tried using the defaul xorg.conf, eg. xorg.conf.failsafe?
[18:05]  * meta-coder is here.
[18:05] <Secris> how do I use that
[18:05] <Polah> How nice of wine to include a handy installer with their source (:
[18:05] <crash1hd> maalac, thanks :) looks good no vga :( but thats ok hdmi is the future lol :)
[18:05] <Luig1> Yes samuelsapps on some machines they may have a slight overhead, but it's generally fine
[18:05] <usr13> Polah: What?
[18:06] <Luig1> The first one you install will bring in several dependencies but it's otherwise seamless
[18:06] <usr13> Polah: You didn't use the package manager?
[18:06] <samuelsapps>  ok thanks for you info guys
[18:06] <johnny45t4332> @Secris: go to the console then make a backup cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bk
[18:06] <johnny45t4332> then overwrite xorg.conf with xorg.conf.failsafe
[18:06] <Secris> I have no xorg.conf file
[18:06] <Polah> usr13: I was going to compile 1.3.26 from source, but there's an included script to do it automatically after being run
[18:07] <usr13> Secris: You probably do not have proper video driver installed.
[18:07] <rhin0> secris it is not there anymore you must generate it
[18:07] <rhin0> there is a way to generate xorg.conf to define you current graphical configuration
[18:07] <usr13> Secris: If the live CD has proper video, check what driver it is using.
[18:07] <johnny45t4332> Xorg -configure is worth a shot
[18:07] <maalac> crash1hd: great..i think that's the latest one ...hoping to get one next month ..
[18:08] <johnny45t4332> has anybody ever had the issue, where the login dialog would just be white and flashing?

[18:13] <Ristovski> it says downlading packages.. the package "name" doesnt exist
[18:13] <san_1989> please help me to find a channel handling issues of device drivers?
[18:14] <Secris> It's an ATI not an intel
[18:14] <Ristovski> help?
[18:14] <rhin0> InfiniteSet: you should just be able to look for "gtk" in the package manager ... go through the listed packages, check
[18:14] <Secris> usr13: It's an ATI not an intel
[18:14] <usr13> Secris: Oh.. sorry missread..  Well at any rate, look at the logfile.
[18:14] <Ristovski> help pls?
[18:14] <usr13> sorry, was looking at someone else's info
[18:14] <rhin0> so just search for "gtk" in package manager (synaptic) InfiniteSet
[18:14] <oCean> Ristovski: please have some patience
[18:14] <san_1989> anyone please help me to find a channel handling issues of device drivers..
[18:15] <Secris> i am if I am reading this right the problem isn't the video it's the monitor
[18:15] <johnny45t4332> ristovsky, what do you call then you try to istall the package?
[18:15] <oCean> san_1989: please don't repeat that often
[18:15] <oCean> Ristovski: have you configured your browser to use apturl?
[18:15] <johnny45t4332> apt-get install apturl should work
[18:15] <B0g4r7> Secris: You need to generate a xorg.conf for an ATI card?
[18:15] <usr13> Secris: There comes to be a match between the video driver and the monitor.
[18:16] <B0g4r7> Try 'sudo aticonfig -f --initial --adapter=all'
[18:16] <usr13> Secris: Is this system fully updated?
[18:16] <B0g4r7> That should generate a new xorg.conf for your hardeare (and backup the old one if you have it).
[18:16] <InfiniteSet> rhin0: So I searched for gtk in the quick filter, and it shows several packages with the name "gtk" in them Hmm?
[18:16] <usr13> Secris: What did you install?  11.04  10.04 ???
[18:16] <Ristovski> oCean ? no? I mean how? Im on moyilla
[18:17] <Secris> 10.04 at my bosses request... and it's the only one that doesn't freeze
[18:17] <B0g4r7> So long as Jockey installed the ATI driver binaries, you should have aticonfig.
[18:17] <starZ> hi all - since a moment I can not change my mouse pointer from the controle panel, everything goes normal, but it does not change.. I'm on natty with gnome, any idea ??

[18:17] <johnny45t4332> @starZ unplug and replug your mouse?
[18:17] <usr13> Secris: Did you install point 3?
[18:17] <oCean> Ristovski: and in Menu Edit > applications the correct path is set for apturl?
[18:17] <Secris> B0g4r7: jockey doesn't list it
[18:17] <Pici> starZ: This is a known bug, let me get you a bug link that might help you though.
[18:17] <Secris> usr13: yes
[18:18] <rhin0> infiniteset -- get the latest - try it ... look for messages the gtk on the install should be the later version ... later versions are mostly compatible with lesser versions ... if it doesn't work you can un-install and try something else
[18:18] <Secris> usr13: and it is fully updated
[18:18] <starZ> doesn't help.. i have a laptop with a trackpad.. :))

[18:18] <B0g4r7> Hm...I've used a lot of Radeons on lucid and on natty and jockey always did it's thing...
[18:18] <grillermo> anybody here running 10.10?
[18:18] <grillermo> i need your help
[18:18] <jack> running natty, i wonder: what exactly does ubuntu's "unity" consist of?
[18:19] <rabbi11> http://paste.ubuntu.com/680729/ This is what i get during "Check" in Update Manager... Any important files or updates are missing ? should I take any steps or just ignore it.. just worried of system files not getting updated.
[18:19] <Secris> usr13: the amd64 version but yes
[18:19] <B0g4r7> I guess mine were all in the HD 5000 series, but I'd think the 6000 series would be pretty similar.
[18:19] <usr13> Secris: And has it asked you if you want to install any additional drivers?
[18:19] <KPG> What is the difference between /dev/sda and /dev/hda? Can a laptop's primary hard drive be /dev/sda?
[18:19] <johnny45t4332> hda is the harddrive
[18:19] <jack> if it's mainly the dock, i love it
[18:19] <johnny45t4332> sda is a partition
[18:19] <starZ> jack: I hate unity toooooo..
[18:19] <jack> ? :P
[18:19] <B0g4r7> Secris, you might try running aticonfig from the shell and see if it's installed.  If it is, it may be work a try using my above command to see if it generates a usable xorg.conf for you.
[18:19] <jack_^> starZ: how did you know?
[18:19] <Secris> usr13: yes it asked about proprietary drivers for my wireless card
[18:19] <usr13> Secris: Well then you did NOT install from ubuntu-10.04.3-desktop-i386.iso
[18:19] <oCean> johnny45t4332: no, that's not true
[18:20] <Pici> starZ: Take a look at some of the workarounds linked from here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/86184
[18:20] <grillermo> i need a reference, could you tell me what happens when you type, nautilus 'the name of somefile' , does it open it with the correct associated program?
[18:20] <B0g4r7> There's a 10.04.3 now?  Oh my...
[18:20] <oCean> KPG: hda is for IDE devices, sda for scsi/sata drives
[18:20] <Secris> usr13: it's a 64-bit machine so that is the disc I picked
[18:20] <jack> starZ:  what exactly does it consist of?
[18:20] <usr13> Secris:  You used:  ubuntu-10.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso  Right?
[18:20] <rhin0> yep B0g4r7 as of a few days ago
[18:20] <B0g4r7> sd* is for ide/ata devices too sometimes these days.
[18:20] <Secris> usr13: yes
[18:20] <starZ> Pici: thx!!!!!
[18:21] <rhin0> B0g4r7:  its just 10.04 with all the packages downloaded
[18:21] <rhin0> just  a step
[18:21] <grillermo> please anybody with ubuntu 10.10 i need a couple of mins in private
[18:21] <thecpaptain> usr13: i'm now unable to access either network
[18:21] <KPG> oCean: Ok. So does that mean that an ATA hard drive could be considered /dev/sda on a laptop rather than /dev/hda, or am I completely off?
[18:21] <starZ> jack: a design for the desktop..
[18:21] <InfiniteSet> rhin0: Looking at the files that I already installed, I see that I have packages named: libgtk2-perl, libgtk2.0-0, etc. that means I have them installed right?
[18:21] <B0g4r7> kpg, yes.
[18:21] <usr13> Secris: Does the LiveCD load proper display settings?
[18:21] <jack> starZ: i love the dock
[18:21] <KPG> B0g4r7: Ok, thank you very much for the help.
[18:21] <rhin0> if they are green ticked as installed in synaptic yes InfiniteSet
[18:21] <B0g4r7> kpg, you can 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' to get some more details on the device(s).

[18:21] <Polah>  johnny45t4332 sdX and hdX both refer to drives, sdXY and hdXY refer to partitions. They're for different interfaces but you'll typically see sdX

[18:22] <oCean> KPG: that could be correct (depending on other devices) but generally: yes

[18:22] <grillermo> what happens when you run on the terminal, nautilus 'the name of somefile.txt' , does it open it with the correct associated program?
[18:22] <usr13> Secris: Was that amd64 ?
[18:23] <Secris> usr13: yes
[18:23] <genii-around> KPG: Ubuntu uses libata which makes all hdX appear as sdX
[18:23] <Polah> johnny45t4332, beyond GPU issues perhaps, no.

[18:26] <usr13> thecpaptain: I'm afraid you will need to go to the router's configuration menu and turn off security.  Either that, or connect via wired port.  (We have pretty much exausted all solutions.)
[18:26] <Polah> grillermo: Nope
[18:26] <bungholio> im trying to learn how to use linux/ubuntu, i want to spend about an hour each day increasing my overall skills - can anyone suggest me some tips or websites/ebooks etc.. so i can learn?
[18:26] <grillermo> run on the terminal, nautilus 'the name of somefile.txt' , does it open it with the correct associated program? because i get an error but i'm not sure if im the only one
[18:26] <thecpaptain> hm all right
[18:26] <rhin0> bungholio : stay in here try to help out watch and learn
[18:26] <thecpaptain> so how do we fix so that i'm still able to connect to the other wireless that was working before ?
[18:26] <szal> grillermo: 1. don't be an attention whore and stop repeating yourself..  2. define 'an error'
[18:26] <usr13> thecpaptain: Refresh my memory.  Is this a ubuntu 11.04 system?  Is it 32bit or 64?  And is it fully updated yet?
[18:26] <grillermo> ok
[18:26] <rhin0> bungholio: try to achieve something definite every day ... setting up a web server for instance
[18:26] <thecpaptain> usr13: so how do we fix so that i'm still able to connect to the other wireless that was working before ?
[18:27] <IdleOne> szal: Please keep the language polite and clean.
[18:27] <InfiniteSet> rhin0: Oh okay
[18:27] <grillermo> i get "location is not a folder" when i try to open a file on the terminal using nautilius 'the name of the file' am i the only one?
[18:27] <B0g4r7> bungholio: I recommend tldp.org.  In particular, I found reading the "howtos" on there to be quite useful.
[18:27] <thecpaptain> usr13: hm not sure which one actually.
[18:27] <B0g4r7> Although that was some time ago.  Hopefully it's all up to date for today's stuff.
[18:27] <thecpaptain> usr13: i know its later one at least
[18:28] <Polah> grillermo: Nautilus is not for displaying files, it shows directories. You can't open files in nautilus, you have to open them in their appropriate program.
[18:28] <san_1989> i am going to  develop device driver for usb bridge cable in linux(ubuntu 11.04)...any suggessions?any good reference sites?..or any good channel that handling it..?
[18:28] <thecpaptain> usr13: just not sure if its the absolute latest
[18:28] <bungholio> rhin0: sounds good
[18:28] <usr13> thecpaptain: You will need to know what it is.  What ISO did you install from?
[18:28] <grillermo> Polah: could you run that command to see if you get the same message please, i just need to know that
[18:28] <bungholio> B0g4r7: alright sweet, thanks
[18:28] <rhin0>  bungholio also ubuntu forums
[18:28] <san_1989> anyone please listen me....
[18:28] <B0g4r7> san_1989: I discovered the other day that wireshark can "sniff" USB packets.  That may be useful to you.
[18:28] <thecpaptain> usr13: i'll log onto ubuntu and find out, i'll log on to here from my laptop, brb
[18:28] <SlindoBist> hey all, i just installed ubuntu 11.04 on my macbook. i was wondering if there were some way to to set up a keybinding of sorts in order to simulate a right click? for instance pressing the command key to right click.
[18:29] <[THC]AcidRain> Polah, nautilus also selects the appropriate program used to open a certain file as sudo
[18:29] <usr13> thecpaptain: Was it ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso  ?
[18:29] <meway> how do I get flash to work with lubuntu?
[18:29] <meway> sorry wrong channel
[18:29] <yeats> grillermo: I get the same message, fwiw, but I don't typically try to open particular files with nautilus - that's not the way it's used (usually)
[18:29] <usr13> meway: install flashplayer-nonfree
[18:30] <tolmun> searching for lightweight DWG viewer?
[18:30] <Polah> [THC]AcidRain, which file would that be?
[18:30] <grillermo> my problem is that i get "the location is not a folder" message everywhere when trying to open files, firefox, gnome-do, file-browser-applets
[18:30] <meta-coder> http://xkcd.com/934/ (Mac/PC)
[18:30] <grillermo> and gnome-open sends the same error
[18:30] <improveupon> every time i try to start firefox, the os crashes. in a vt every few seconds it prints like 10 lines, one of which is like "failed command: read dma (something)"... something makes me think it can no longer detect the hard drive... you have to ctrl+alt+sysrq to reboot. if you do not try to use firefox, it seems to run fine.
[18:30] <Polah> grillermo, I get the error too because like I said, it is for displaying directory structure, not the contents of files.
[18:30] <meway> usr13 nonfree ?
[18:30] <usr13> meway: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound
[18:30] <thecpaptain> usr13: i'm sorry to say, but I do not know
[18:30] <yeats> grillermo: what behavior are you expecting?
[18:30] <grillermo> Polah: but if you try gnome-open "the file" it works right? for me it doesnt
[18:30] <improveupon> um, should i remove and reinstall firefox from the repository?
[18:31] <rhin0> meway sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[18:31] <Stanley00> meway: how about apt-get install flashplugin-installer ?
[18:31] <usr13> thecpaptain: So you dont know what iso you downloaded?
[18:31] <[THC]AcidRain> Polah, well pretty much any file rly. when i run gksu nautilus. and i click on a .txt file. it is opened in gedit using gksu gedit file.txt
[18:31] <rabbi11> failing to load image information..... ???? :(
[18:31] <grillermo> yeats: to be able to open files
[18:31] <thecpaptain> usr13: i would like to say 10.4 or something like that
[18:31] <efxa> Those who are kernel / OS / system hackers, testers, packagers may register to http://oshackers.org. A corner where all OS hackers can see each other.
[18:31] <yeats> !nonfree | meway
[18:31] <meway> Stanley00:  may work
[18:31] <rabbi11> right click and properties for image "failing to load image information ?? any idea why ?
[18:31] <xrdodrx> is there any way to "calibrate" the sound in Ubuntu? 100% is far too loud, but i can't seem to change the volume easily without almost defening myself :(

[18:32] <grillermo> yeats: i get "the location is not a folder" in many programs that call some gnome function to open them, and i think its related to nautilus
[18:32] <meway> oh thanks for clarifying yeats
[18:32] <[THC]AcidRain> lol.
[18:32] <[THC]AcidRain> efxa dont flood sir.
[18:32] <san_1989> i am going to  develop device driver for usb bridge cable in linux(ubuntu 11.04)...any suggessions?any good reference sites?..or any good channel that handling it..?
[18:33] <rww> they were still doing it despite being quieted *facepalm*
[18:33] <Polah> grillermo: gnome-open opens files based on designated file handlers in gnome, I guess you don't have any set perhaps
[18:33] <grillermo> i'm on x-chat how do i hide all these user has joined #ubuntu messages?
[18:33] <yeats> grillermo: ok - can you be more specifica about what you mean by 'many programs' and 'some gnome function'?
[18:33] <Pici> !quietxchat | grillermo
[18:33] <B0g4r7> What exactly is a "usb bridge cable", and what is it's purpose?
[18:33] <thecpaptain> usr13: should i download network-manager manually here and get it back to ubuntu again ?
[18:33] <grillermo> Polah: if i open nautilus i can open all the files just fine, and the files on desktop have no problem
[18:33] <san_1989> anyone please help me....
[18:33] <grillermo> !quietxchat
[18:33] <Pici> grillermo: read what ubottu just told you
[18:34] <jAyenGreen> What does a @ in a file listing mean? I'm getting a 403 forbidden on the path to my local web server, and the ls shows -rwxr-xr-x@
[18:34] <Polah> grillermo: But gnome-open doesn't work?
[18:34] <grillermo> Polah: yeah gnome-open doesnt work
[18:34] <jnsl_> I have an amazon instance with ubuntu. I have installed mysql, and it is running. I have edited the my.cnf file and commented out the "bind-address" part. The mysql port 3306 is listening and i have opened the port in amazon console. But when i try to connect from my local machine i get this error: "ERROR 1130 (HY000): Host 'myip' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server" Also for the sake of testing im connecting as root with all privileges
[18:34] <jack> <3 xscreensaver-gl....but, can i define corner functions? like blank now, blank never...
[18:34] <grillermo> Polah: my /user/share/applications .desktop files are ok
[18:34] <Polah> grillermo: I couldn't tell you how to fix it, I've never used it myself.
[18:35] <MoMo> Is there any consideration I need to take if I have a laptop that has two network conncetions.  And I want to connect from Network A, to this laptop? and I want all network stuff to go out Network B?
[18:35] <genii-around> grillermo: Do you have also Thunar installed?
[18:35] <grillermo> genii-around: i had it, and uninstalled it, and also the exo-utils (i read about the bug)
[18:35] <pdtpatrick> Question .. what's the fix for ubuntu 11.10 and getting stuck on Checking battery state? It seems it really hates nvidia-drivers
[18:35] <yeats> MoMo: that's all very easily done in Network Manager
[18:35] <Polah> jnsl_, is there a firewall in place?
[18:35] <jnsl_> Polah Im using apparmor
[18:35] <genii-around> grillermo: OK
[18:35] <idumych> so I did something silly
[18:36] <grillermo> genii-around: i still the error after uninstalling it thou :(
[18:36] <MoMo> yeats: thank you, but what is it i'm looking for?
[18:36] <fr0sted> damn ubuntu is cool ! not going back to windows 7 :D
[18:36] <idumych> I did an in place upgrade to 11.10 beta and now my system is slightly messed up :P
[18:36] <jack> <3 xscreensaver-gl....but, can i define corner functions? like blank now, blank never...
[18:36] <Xoke> idumych: we all have at some point lol
[18:36] <thecp4ptain> usr13: busy ?
[18:36] <idumych> I had to run GDM by hand but at least I got in
[18:36] <grillermo> i think i need to read the gnome-open source code to sort this bug :''(
[18:36] <genii-around> grillermo: Have you had a logout-logon since you removed it? Might be cached Nautilus you're using
[18:37] <yeats> MoMo: the network indicator in your panel - click it and click Edit Connections - it will let you set what each connection does
[18:37] <idumych> does anyone know a command that I can run to reset things to default?
[18:37] <Slindobist> hey all, i just installed ubuntu 11.04 on my macbook and i was wondering if there was some way to set up a key on the keyboard to act as a right click on the mouse? can any one help me out or point me at a howto?
[18:37] <MoMo> yeats: also, are you refering to the Wicd network manager?
[18:37] <Polah> jnsl_: That isn't a firewall. Do you have apparmor set up to restrict access to the mysql server?
[18:37] <idumych> I had to reboot the computer during the upgrade
[18:37] <Polah> idumych: Reset what exactly?
[18:37] <idumych> I already used recovery to finish installing all the packages though
[18:37] <grillermo> genii-around: yeah, tried restarting
[18:37] <idumych> Polah: like I hit the power button
[18:37] <yeats> MoMo: no - not wicd - the default ubuntu network manager
[18:37] <jnsl_> Polah I don't believe so, but can i check if i have?
[18:37] <MoMo> yeats: i only see power and speaker and mail
[18:37] <idumych> so if I run gdm manually and log in to Ubuntu 2d it works well
[18:37] <idumych> but the default ubuntu session is a mess
[18:37] <MoMo> yeats: whats the comand to run it?
[18:37] <kailo> Is there a recommended guide for installing 5200fx nvidia drivers by terminal?
[18:38] <Polah> idumych: I mean what do you want to reset? Unity is broken? You could remove and reinstall it through apt-get
[18:38] <yeats> MoMo: nm-connection-editor
[18:38] <idumych> Polah: pretty much just the default ubuntu sesion and the login manager
[18:38] <Polah> jnsl_: Yes, or if there is a firewall running it could have been set up by default (by Amazon) to only initially allow connections on port 22 for SSH?
[18:38] <jack> can i define corner functions for xscreensaver? like blank now, blank never...
[18:39] <sharperguy> Hey. I'm trying to use pavucontrol to record sounds my system is playing with audacity. I set "ALSA capture from" on the audacity stream to "Internal analog stereo" like always and this time for some reason it's not recording anything - it's just blocking waiting for data. Anyone got any ideas?
[18:40] <jnsl_> Polah yeah amazon have a firewall in place, but i have allowed connections to port 3306 in my amazon security group, so that should work. On second thought i might be running with UFW
[18:40] <usr13> thecp4ptain: Waht?
[18:40] <Polah> jnsl_: ufw should allow connections if there is something listening, unless told not to do that
[18:40] <thecp4ptain> usr13: i've logged on to this chat via my laptop now, so i'm able to be on ubuntu at the same time
[18:40] <johnny45t4332> jnsl are you connecting via localhost or remotly?
[18:41] <jack> jnsl_: why not just save with audacity?
[18:41] <jnsl_> an ufw status gives me this:  http://pastebin.com/KhviCMJg
[18:41] <xrdodrx> is there any way to "calibrate" the sound in Ubuntu? 100% is far too loud, but i can't seem to change the volume easily without almost defening myself :(
[18:41] <jnsl_> jack im not familiar with that
[18:41] <usr13> thecp4ptain: Yes, download network-manager manually and install  it I guess.  But there is no reason my wicd wouldn't establish the connection for you as well.  At least one of the connections.  It would be nice to know what you installed.  Is it Ubuntu 11.04 ?  Or What?
[18:42] <jnsl_> not seeing port 3306 in the status
[18:42] <thecp4ptain> usr13: how do i find out ? can i see it when inside ubuntu ?
[18:42] <Polah> jnsl: perhaps add a rule and retry: 3306 ALLOW Anywhere
[18:42] <usr13> thecp4ptain: lsb_release -a
[18:42] <jnsl_> aye cool :-))) i will try that right away
[18:42] <usr13> thecp4ptain: Or look at the iso file.
[18:42] <usr13> See what the name of the iso file is.
[18:42] <crash1hd> Hmm this is very odd my motherboard is fine and the video card is fine but when I test this video card in my motherboard I see the post screen and it goes to go to the next screen but all that shows up is an __ thats it and there it sits? the motherboard is older and has an agp 4x port on it
[18:43] <crash1hd> and I am pretty sure the video card is either 4x or 8x
[18:44] <thecp4ptain> usr13: version 10.04 apparently
[18:44] <thecp4ptain> usr13: do you think updating to 11.04 or similar would be preferable ?
[18:45] <jnsl_> i have added the rule:  "3306/tcp                   ALLOW       Anywhere" but get the same error =/
[18:45] <spreeuw> hello, anybody know how to enable gallium on r600 for 11.04 ?
[18:45] <bungholio> any idea how i can setup my VLC like this person? -

[18:45] <usr13> thecp4ptain: Is it fully updated?  Did you do:  sudo apt-get upgrade  ?
[18:45] <johnc> New guy first time irc.  Am I really visible?
[18:45] <kailo> Does -anyone- know how to install nvidia drivers when X is completely busted?  All I can see is the background at 640x480 (or 320x240) and the mouse.
[18:45] <Polah> johnc: Nope, can't see you (:
[18:45] <spreeuw> johnc yep
[18:46] <thecp4ptain> usr13: i updated it recently, yes. it should be fully updated
[18:46] <Polah> jnsl_: What command are you using to connect?
[18:46] <spreeuw> kailo install sshd and do it renmote
[18:46] <johnc> Thanks!
[18:46] <jnsl_> mysql -u myuser -h my.server.com -p
[18:46] <kailo> spreeuw: why would I have to do it remote?  I have access to a terminal
[18:47] <usr13> thecp4ptain:  What is the wireless network card?
[18:47] <usr13> make and model?
[18:47] <thecp4ptain> usr13: is there a command to find out ?
[18:47] <usr13> thecp4ptain: lspci
[18:47] <banjo597> hey guys
[18:47] <epzil0n> hi
[18:47] <bungholio> any idea how i can setup my VLC like this person? -
[18:47] <bungholio> http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_viFPg4U1HOw/SlnAboKAXXI/AAAAAAAABLM/IGWUjV7HiqE/s1600-h/dvd+in+vlc.png
[18:48] <usr13> thecp4ptain: Share the netwrok over the laptop's eithernet port and plug into it. (You may need a crossover cable or switch or hub, but...)
[18:48] <Polah> !repeat | bungholio
[18:48] <The_Fred> hey folks - what would you expect voice command for ubuntu to do?
[18:48] <banjo597> hey i'm trying to remote connect to windows 7 from ubuntu how do i do that?
[18:48] <thecp4ptain> usr13: don't have such wires unfortunately
[18:48] <Polah> banjo597: Remote desktop or file sharing?
[18:48] <usr13> thecp4ptain: Well, I've just about given you all the info I have.
[18:49] <banjo597> !tell Polah Remote desktop
[18:49] <usr13> thecp4ptain: Where do you live. I'll just drop by and give you a hand....
[18:49] <jnsl_> banjo597 try remmina remote desktop client, or you could ssh in terminal
[18:49] <usr13> (we've been talking so long, I feel like we're old pals anyway...
[18:49] <Polah> banjo597: Set up an RDP server on Windows 7 with NLA disabled and connect to it through Ubuntu with the rdesktop command
[18:49] <thecp4ptain> usr13: hehe, Stockholm, Sweden, so i'm guessing it's not in your neighborhood
[18:50] <epzil0n> banjo597: i have a realVNC server on windows and then i use gtkvnc in ubuntu to control it ;)
[18:50] <usr13> thecp4ptain: Not exactly. I'm in Texas
[18:50] <thecp4ptain> usr13: hehehehe
[18:50] <thecp4ptain> usr13: That's some distance
[18:50] <usr13> It would take a while to get there and you may have it figured out by the time I get over there.
[18:50] <Polah> jnsl: Try this: mysql --host=host.ip.goes.here --user=username --password=password databasename
[18:51] <usr13> and my horse is not a good swimmer
[18:51] <thecp4ptain> usr13: probably, then i'll simply treat you some food or something
[18:51] <Polah> jnsl_: Failing that, you could always SSH in and do mysql -u <user> -p   to connect locally
[18:51] <usr13> he doesn't like the water at all.
[18:51] <thecp4ptain> usr13: hehehe, yeah it wouldn't be nice to ask it to cross the atlantic ocean
[18:52] <usr13> thecp4ptain: Try sharing the network from your laptop.  Find a wire.
[18:52] <thecp4ptain> usr13: i like horses, although i've only ridden one a couple of times
[18:52] <lo-fi_>  how can i tell if im accociated with a network? iwconfig?
[18:52] <usr13> I have 2, a sorrel and a strawberry roan
[18:53] <thecp4ptain> usr13: i'll check to see if i have one, although i'm pretty sure i don't
[18:53] <bluelight> is there a way to have packages installed on alternative storage devices in linux ?
[18:53] <Polah> lo-fi_: If you're using wireless yes, else ifconfig
[18:53] <thecp4ptain> the only thing that tells me is that you have two horsies hehe, the other details escape my current comprehension
[18:54] <bluelight> windows alows to pick a install location, does linux have this ability ? or is ther a package i can install to provide this ability ?
[18:54] <johnc> How do I quit?
[18:54] <thecp4ptain> usr13: nope, none ying around
[18:54] <thecp4ptain> usr13: *lying around
[18:54] <crash1hd> can anyone tell me if this motherboard will handle a 8x agp card? http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=1393&dl=1#sp
[18:55] <johnc> quit
[18:55] <Polah> bluelight: If they're installed they'd have to go into proper system folders which could be on different mounted devices, or symlinked to files on a removeable devices. If you only want to store packages (.deb)s then you can move them from /var/cache/apt/archives
[18:55] <usr13> sorrel is brown, the strawberry roan is pretty much grey and splotchy in the summer.
[18:55] <jnsl_> Polah I get the same error with your suggested command. The thing is i would like to connect a website on my localhost (local machine) with the database on my server
[18:56] <thecp4ptain> usr13: i'm downloading network-manager now, i'll transfer it using a HDD
[18:56] <bluelight> Polah: how could i get them to install on different mounted devices?
[18:56] <Polah> jnsl_: I don't know if remote mysql-ing is encrypted so SSHing in and then runnign locally on the server may be more secure. Perhaps Amazon has a firewall in place to prevent use of MySQL servers on their usual servers, since they offer specialised database hosting don't they?
[18:56] <kailo> Is there a recommended guide for installing 5200fx nvidia drivers by terminal?
[18:56] <lo-fi_> gah im missing something here for wpa_supplicant .. i cant get associated with my network, but im following 3 instructions ive found online to the T... maybe its my drivers? my card is a 802.11agb and im using the wext drivers....
[18:56] <usr13> crash1hd: AGP 4X, supports 1.5V display card only
[18:56] <KPG> What is the safest way to securely wipe a hard drive using a live cd?
[18:57] <jnsl_> Polah thats true, they do. Hmmm, i will have to investigate that a bit
[18:57] <Polah> bluelight: You'd need to use mount to mount those devices at various locations, but there'd be quite a lot. Files are spread out in a lot of places, /var, /usr, /etc and suchlike
[18:57] <crash1hd> usr13, ok so does that mean if I put a 8x agp card into it that it will not work? cause I have 2 8x agp cards as I was saying above they both post but they cant get past the post screen
[18:57] <usr13> KPG: What do you mean safest ?
[18:57] <bluelight> Polah: could i delete the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives to gain for space without harming the system ?
[18:57] <Polah> jnsl_: Perhaps contact their support to see if that is the case
[18:57] <kailo> I've modprobe'd nvidia-173 but xorg still seems to be looking for some vmwgfx module
[18:57] <usr13> KPG: Industry standard is to write zeros to it seven times or more.
[18:57] <KPG> usr13: Perhaps a method that is DoD compliant as opposed ti just zero filling a hard drive.
[18:58] <crash1hd> usr13, I had a geforce 6800 gt 512m 128bit agp ddr2 which was a 8x/4x agp card and it did work (now I am wondering if the only reason it worked is because it was a 8x/4x and not just an 8x) does that sound right?
[18:58] <Polah> bluelight: Yes, sudo apt-get clean   would remove all stored package files. You would need to redownload those packages if you wish to reinstall one of them though
[18:58] <usr13> KPG: dd  will do the job
[18:58] <blsh0p> whats the channel for backtrack?
[18:58] <loculinux_> esto no es el canal  de melilla...como me meto
[18:58] <Polah> blsh0p: #backtrack-linux
[18:58] <lo-fi_> would anyone mind helping me trouble shoot wpa_supplicant?
[18:58] <bluelight> Polah:  thanks, that may be all i need to fix my shrinking storage problem :)
[18:58] <blsh0p> #backtrack-linux
[18:58] <blsh0p> wups
[18:59] <thecp4ptain> usr13: should i consider downloading ubuntu 11.04 do you think ?
[18:59] <Polah> bluelight: You'll probably get a few hundred MB from that
[18:59] <KPG> usr13: Ok, I only ran dd once however. Would you consider that a safe enough method for general purpose deletion of files?
[18:59] <bungholio> blsh0p: i believe backtrack's IRC is #crunchbang.
[19:00] <bungholio> blsh0p: actually nevermind thats openbox heh
[19:00] <Pici> bungholio, blsh0p: #backtrack-linux
[19:00] <Pici> bungholio: Please don't mislead our users.
[19:00] <usr13> KPG: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd?# bs=4096
[19:00] <blsh0p> i got it, thanks guys
[19:00] <bungholio> Pici: that's not misleading.
[19:00] <bluelight> Polah: the device is an asus eee pc 900 with 4gig ssd and an 8gig sd
[19:00] <Polah> KPG: You can use dd to write random data or zeroes over the entire disk, it works the exist same way as using DBAN or a similar program. The next best thing would be to zero it with dd and then destroy the drives by sanding the platters and breaking them
[19:00] <KPG> usr13: I did bs=1M is that also acceptable?
[19:00] <usr13> KPG: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd?# bs=16384
[19:01] <Polah> bluelight: well, a few hundred MB is quite a lot of space for you then
[19:01] <usr13> KPG: Yea that's good.  higher BS is faster.
[19:01] <Polah> usr12: 16384?
[19:01] <bluelight> Polah: yes :)
[19:01] <blsh0p> if i download an OS on a flashdrive, as a live cd, i wont be able to save files, correct?
[19:01] <KPG> usr13: Ok, thank you for the help.
[19:02] <Polah> bluelight: You can always uninstall unused programs as well, compress long-standing files that aren't accessed often and suchlike to save space
[19:02] <Polah> blsh0p: You can set up persistence with a live session, or do a proper installation on a flash drive.
[19:02] <blsh0p> if i run an OS as a live cd, can i save files? even if its on a 55gig flashdrive?
[19:02] <KPG> Polah: Would dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda bs=1M achieve the randomness that you mentioned rather than using dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M and simply zero filling the hard drive?
[19:02] <blsh0p> will i be able to save?
[19:02] <thecpaptain> usr13: should i consider downloading ubuntu 11.04 do you think ?
[19:02] <Polah> blsh0p: As a LiveCD, no. LiveUSB, yes
[19:02] <urlin2u> bish0p, there are thumb loaders that have persistance
[19:02] <blsh0p> oh ok
[19:03] <Polah> KPG: if=/dev/zero would write zeroes, /dev/random would write random data to the drive, they'd have the same outcome of data destruction it's just that the written data may be different. /dev/zero may be quicker I believe
[19:03] <urlin2u> bish0p, check out the mutisystem multi loader
[19:03] <usr13> thecpaptain: I don't know really.  Wouldn't hurt tho. See what the LiveCD will do.
[19:04] <KPG> Polah: Ok, that is helpful to know. Thank you very much for the assistance.
[19:04] <blsh0p> whats that do, urlin2u?
[19:04] <thecpaptain> is it possible to launch LiveCD if i put the file on an external HD ?
[19:04] <lo-fi_> does wpa_supplicant support 802.11agb?
[19:05] <thecpaptain> usr13: is it possible to launch LiveCD if i put the file on an external HD ?
[19:05] <urlin2u> bisg0p, it is a app that loads ISO's to a thumb for booting and has a persistence option.
[19:05] <usr13> thecpaptain: Use a CD or Flash Drive
[19:05] <blsh0p> ok and one last question. Is it better to do direct downloads or to download torrents?
[19:05] <urlin2u> thecpaptain, you need a boot setup.
[19:06] <usr13> thecpaptain: See instructions at:  http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[19:06] <urlin2u> blish0p, depends a p2p that is legit is usually just as fast.
[19:06] <kailo> does anyone know why xorg is being forced into 640x480 with my 5200fx pci?  It wasn't like this with the livecd
[19:06] <thecpaptain> hm aight
[19:06] <Polah> blsh0p: Torrents may be a bit more reliable due to checking of each piece, just make sure it's a reliable safe torrent from an official website.
[19:07] <blsh0p> im download backtrack from the website, that should be a safe torrent right?
[19:07] <escott> kailo, install the proprietary drivers with jockey-gtk
[19:07] <moon8945> @search john barnes
[19:07] <kailo> escott: can I even do that from a terminal?
[19:07] <Polah> blsh0p: Perhaps, ask in #backtrack-linux.
[19:07] <urlin2u> blish0p;yes
[19:07] <Hasham> hi...does office 2003 works under wine...?
[19:08] <kailo> escott: It actually looks like 320x240 and nothing within x is useable
[19:08] <Polah> Hasham: Look it up in WineHQ's appdb.
[19:08] <Polah> !appdb | Hasham
[19:08] <blsh0p> no one is available in backtracklinux
[19:08] <blsh0p> how do i download an os as a livecd
[19:08] <blsh0p> liveusb*
[19:09] <Polah> blsh0p: You just download the image and then make a LiveUSB as told here: !liveusb | blsh0p
[19:09] <Polah> !liveusb | blsh0p
[19:09] <kailo> does anyone know why xorg is being forced into 320x240** with my 5200fx pci?  It wasn't like this with the livecd
[19:09] <urlin2u> blsh0p, to be honest if you don't know this basic stuff backtrack is a waste of your time.
[19:09] <SlindoBist> hey guys, i just installed ubuntu 11.04 on my macbook, i was wondering if there were some way to map a key on the keyboard to mimic a right click from the mouse? can anyone give me a hand or direct me to a howto that might help?
[19:10] <Polah> kailo: Please stop repeating your question so quickly. If someone has an answer they'll help you.
[19:10] <blsh0p> ur prabably right irlin
[19:10] <thecpaptain> urlin2u: if i create a boot setup on the flash, i don't need to remove other content and such right ?
[19:10] <kailo> Polah: It was a fix to my previous comment; 320x240 vs 640x480
[19:10] <urlin2u> thecpaptain, depends on the loader most wipe the thumb.
[19:11] <camden> \q
[19:11] <escott> kailo, there is a jockey command line client, but it sounds like X is failing to start if all you have is a console
[19:11] <lo-fi_> ok so im using wpa_supplicant to connect to my router. I've made the config file, and then run the command "sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/root/wpa.conf" but im still not associated with the network. Any ideas?
[19:11] <thecpaptain> urlin2u: wipe the thumb ?
[19:11] <urlin2u> thecpaptain, unetbootin can install to a partion and if ubuntu be persistent.
[19:11] <Hasham> ubottu,  it has database for games only . i am looking for ms office 2003
[19:12] <kailo> escott: no, x starts just fine.  I'm USING a console because x is unusable.  All I get is the background, mouse, and sometimes a flicker of a menu when I right click on the background.
[19:12] <tommyvyo> any recommendations on which version of ubuntu is best to use for a server?
[19:12] <urlin2u> thecpaptain, wipe-remove thumb=usb drive
[19:13] <urlin2u> tommyvyo, probably a lts
[19:13] <thecpaptain> urlin2u: so i need to cleanse the HD then ?
[19:13] <fishscene> ubottu is back!
[19:13] <kailo> escott: kind of hard to run nvidia-settings etc if X is locked into 320x240 with just a background
[19:13] <urlin2u> thecpaptain, your question was will anything be removed, now use your brain here. :D
[19:14] <thecpaptain> urlin2u: i'm trying xD i'm trying to figure if it is necessary for it to be partitioned, or if it can simply boot from an individual file on the HD
[19:14] <SlindoBist> anyone?
[19:15] <thecpaptain> urlin2u: i'm guessing it needs partitioning to boot
[19:15] <tetsuo55> is it possible to use a custom dns for only certain users?
[19:15] <urlin2u> thecpaptain, it needs a partition for a file to start with and needs a bootloader to boot
[19:16] <se> selam
[19:16] <urlin2u> thecpaptain, a bootloader needs files in a OS and the mbr generally.
[19:16] <Polah> thecpaptain: If you get multibootusb you can just set it up and it'll install GRUB and just require the .iso to be present without need to unpack it and such
[19:17] <se> hello
[19:17] <thecpaptain> hmmm

[19:18] <CharlieSu> is there a key sequence to kill Unity?  control-alt-backspace type of thing
[19:19] <urlin2u> CharlieSu, if you kill it you will have a blank screen probably, try the classic desktop
[19:20] <urlin2u> CharlieSu, do you mean a logout or reboot?
[19:21] <CharlieSu> When running either groovyconsole or grailsconsole my windows all go crazy on my desktop
[19:21] <CharlieSu> can't figure out why
[19:23] <lo-fi_> when i type "iwlist scan" for wlan0 it says failed to read scan data : network down" what does this mean?

[19:30] <cheako> TEJAS123: Where does this error come from?
[19:30] <mrintegrity> neandr: what probs did you have?
[19:30] <ubun> Has anyone installed HPLIP? its in the synaptic but it has a warning about people taking control of my pc. any help???
[19:30] <A_J> wb ActionParsnip
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> A_J: ty :)
[19:31] <neandr>  mrintegrity: no ubuntu cd7dvd was able to start at all .. no installation/no test possible
[19:31] <Hasham> does ms offive 2003 work in wine..?
[19:31] <Hasham> office
[19:31] <TEJAS123> cheako : act i used gparted and tried to move partition...but it hanged and i lost my data since then tht error is present
[19:31] <mrintegrity> neandr: thats odd, i guess you did all the bios settings and stuff
[19:31] <mongy> Hasham, mostly.  access and outlook have issues
[19:32] <Pici> Hasham: Like we said before, you need to look in the appdb.
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> Hasham: check the appdb
[19:32] <auronandace> !appdb | Hasham
[19:32] <Pici> Hasham: or ask in WINE's support channel, #winehq
[19:32] <cheako> TEJAS123: Where is the error present?
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> Hasham: why not use libreoffice....
[19:32] <mrintegrity> neandr: how did you create the installer? using a usb stick created with unetbootin works great for me
[19:32] <mrintegrity> mongy: outlook doesn't work with wine
[19:32] <mongy> mrintegrity, thats what I meant by issues
[19:32] <TEJAS123> cheako : when computer boots..... I guess it is unable to find grub
[19:32] <atyoung> mrintegrity, good :P
[19:32] <mrintegrity> mongy: works great in crossover though
[19:33] <atyoung> I'm kidding
[19:33] <neandr>  mrintegrity: which pc/laptop?
[19:33] <mrintegrity> atyoung: hehe yeah
[19:33] <Hasham> ActionParsnip,  i use libre office at home but i can only install ubuntu on my office machine if it runs office 2003
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> Hasham: why so?
[19:33] <mrintegrity> neandr: what do you mean?
[19:33] <wildc4rd> evenin all!
[19:34] <neandr>  mrintegrity:  used standard ISO downloaded from Ubuntu pages
[19:34] <mrintegrity> Hasham: pay for crossover office, it works very well and is not so expensive
[19:34] <Hasham> ActionParsnip,  for compatibility issues
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> neandr: does it MD5 testok?
[19:34] <cheako> TEJAS123: Ahh, rescue is one of the boot options on a cd.  Could be booting a cd instead of the disk??  Perhaps you just need to interrupt grub and get to the menu, hold "ctr" key...  IIRC.
[19:34] <mrintegrity> neandr: i see. and you burned it to cd with what program?
[19:34] <ubun> Has anyone installed HPLIP? its in the synaptic but it has a warning about people taking control of my pc. any help???
[19:34] <mrintegrity> ubun: what error?
[19:34] <neandr>  mrintegrity: I was asking which machine did you used
[19:34] <mrintegrity> ubun: sorry, what warning
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> Hasham: never had an issue personally
[19:35] <mrintegrity> neandr: servers, desktops, laptops, virtual machines.. you name it (didn't use a usb stick for the virtual machines of course)
[19:35] <ubun> mrintegrity: it says it is not authenticated and could contain something malicious that could allow someone to control my computer
[19:35] <neandr>  mrintegrity: no error, no warning, just blank screen, all boot options (nomodeset, xforce.. ) worked
[19:35] <TEJAS123> cheako : No i m booting from hard drive
[19:36] <mrintegrity> ubun: can you show me teh exact error ? you can msg me directly
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> neandr: does the ISO pass MD5 test?
[19:36] <Hasham> ActionParsnip,  if LO writer and spreadsheed and compatibale with ms office 2003 i will replace my xp to ubuntu at office :)
[19:36] <mrintegrity> neandr: what kind of computer is it?
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> Hasham: try it
[19:37] <mrintegrity> Hasham: they are mostly compatible but there are almnost always formatting / font errors
[19:37] <thecpaptain> usr13: it seems that i'm able to connect to the network using ubuntu 11.04
[19:37] <neandr> mrintegrity: you may read the last psoting at : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1732030&page=5 for details
[19:38] <Hasham> ActionParsnip,  i have tried it appreantly it is working fine but formatting problems are there
[19:38] <bungholio> this is odd, im trying to install Midnight Commander but when i click Install in Ubuntu Software Center it doesn't install it just.. flashes and doesn't install..
[19:38] <cheako> TEJAS123: I suspect this error is from grub when it's trying to boot.  Getting gurb's attention should help.
[19:39] <neandr> mrintegrity: I'm looking for support to buy another machine, but I need a dual boot for sure
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> bungholio: does it install ok in terminal?
[19:39] <ubun> mrintegrity: i dont know if i did it right, but i sent it.
[19:39] <kc_> where should i go for Google App Engine related queries?
[19:40] <TEJAS123> cheako: how to get grub's attention??
[19:40] <usr13> thecpaptain: Very good.
[19:41] <bungholio> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/Q1n2YS8D
[19:41] <thecpaptain> usr13: yes indeed. so now i'm simply taking all the files and stuff i want from my previous installation, then i'm installing 11.04 :)
[19:42] <thecpaptain> usr13: thanks for all the help, truly appreciate it
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> bungholio: isn't it:   mc

[19:49] <ActionParsnip> neandr: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[19:49] <Gentoo64> neandr, whats that to do with nvidia?
[19:49] <Gentoo64> idk about dells,
[19:49] <neandr> tested a bunch of ISO' & also Knoppix a German distro
[19:49] <Gentoo64> neandr, and none work
[19:49] <Gentoo64> >
[19:49] <prakas> my ubuntu sometimes shows black screen during boot. and pressing ctrl alt del brings the ubuntu logo and shutsdown
[19:49] <Gentoo64> ?
[19:49] <mrintegrity> neandr: which vostro model is it?
[19:49] <kailo> By installing xubuntu-desktop I've managed to get nvidia-settings to run in X, however I'm still locked in to 640x480 and 320x240 as my display options.  'additional drivers' still shows that nvidia drivers 173 are activated, but 'not currently in use'
[19:49] <prakas> lol
[19:50] <jimrew> where's the source code to gconf editor?
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> neandr: add the boot option:   nouveau.blacklist=1      be sure you MD5 test the ISO
[19:50] <mrintegrity> jimrew: try ubuntu package archives
[19:50] <mrintegrity> jimrew: or upstream at gnome.org somewhere
[19:50] <jimrew> ok thx
[19:52] <rabbi11> how to restart rhythmbox? its' not responding
[19:52] <prakas> can i know why it sometimes the black screen during boot and doesnt show the gui
[19:52] <prakas> and sometimes it works as expected
[19:52] <Gentoo64> prakas, i hear a lot of people have that
[19:52] <prakas> is it a bug?
[19:52] <Gentoo64> idk sounds like it
[19:52] <neandr>  ActionParsnip: OK will try and report back .. .. before returning the laptop
[19:52] <xqix9u2v> if you want to check printer status its foomatic rite?
[19:53] <kaolc2> On Ubuntu, how do I install an older version (5.3.2) of php-cli?
[19:53] <prakas> the black screen shows like 20 percent of the times
[19:53] <rabbi11> how to restart rhythmbox? its' not responding
[19:53] <prakas> and ctrl alt del brings the ubuntu logo followed by a restart
[19:53] <Gentoo64> rabbi11, killall rhythmbox
[19:53] <prakas> not a hardware hang
[19:53] <Gentoo64> then restart it
[19:53] <Gentoo64> prakas, i have no idea what it is
[19:54] <prakas> you never had this issue?
[19:54] <rabbi11> Gentoo64: thank you
[19:54] <Gentoo64> nope
[19:54] <prakas> i reinstalled ubuntu 10.10 again
[19:54] <xangua> kaolc2: compile
[19:54] <prakas> but problem persists
[19:54] <Gentoo64> prakas, its obviously some bug with hardware
[19:54] <prakas> same problem with another netbook that my father uses
[19:54] <Gentoo64> maybe kernel idk
[19:55] <prakas> the problem did not occur in 7.04 version :P
[19:55] <Gentoo64> things change
[19:55] <rabbi11> it happens to me as well, just blank screen with a cursor on top left flickering for 5-10 mins
[19:55] <prakas> yes bugs get added ;p
[19:55] <Gentoo64> all i hear on here is blank screen
[19:55] <Gentoo64> lol
[19:55] <prakas> it doesnt show anything but ctrl alt del brings the ubuntu logo immediately lol
[19:56] <gnewb> How do I disable/stop/kill the Battery Sate script?Currently running Ubuntu 10.04.3 on Desktop.
[19:56] <Gentoo64> thats reboot command
[19:56] <prakas> and then a reboot
[19:56] <prakas> and then the os starts without the black screen :P
[19:56] <prakas> i am unable to even see what went wrong
[19:56] <Gentoo64> brb making coffee
[19:57] <prakas> it should instead show some message that something failed so the black screen ;)
[19:57] <Gentoo64> prakas, when you do boot, try dmesg and scroll up for any errors
[19:57] <Gentoo64> like maybe gpu related
[19:58] <prakas> will dmesg still keep the logs when rebooted?
[19:58] <prakas> a fresh reboot will perhaps not keep logs of a previous session but dont know
[19:59] <kaolc2> xangua: One word does unfortunately not help me much, thanks though
[20:00] <th0r> kaolc2: that version is not available, your only option is to compile it from scratch
[20:00] <Msk> #clubIRC
[20:01] <BloodSkin> anyone know of any articles on the birth and background of ubuntu?
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> BloodSkin: omgubuntu has stuff on that
[20:01] <BloodSkin> thank you
[20:01] <SIFTU> prakas: that is an optimus enabled laptop.. what verion of ubuntu are you trying to load?
[20:02] <bungholio> okay so i launched Ubuntu Software Center from Command "software-center" ; and got this FAILED stuff in Terminal was curious why it's doing it, but Ubuntu Software Center did open up, so there doesn't seem to be a problem from what i can see.
[20:02] <bungholio> http://pastebin.com/jTfhLF2V
[20:02] <prakas> i am using 10.10 ubuntu with a samsung n148 plus
[20:02] <SIFTU> prakas: actually maybe it isnt optimus
[20:02] <prakas> what is optimus
[20:03] <SIFTU> prakas: what does "lcpci|grep -i vga" show.. 1 or 2 lines
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> prakas: a headache
[20:03] <SIFTU> prakas: sorry lspci
[20:03] <prakas> it works perfectly usually
[20:03] <urlin2u> bungholio, why are you using the terminal to open it?
[20:03] <prakas> just sometimes doesnt load during boot
[20:04] <prakas> i get a 1024x600 resolution and  movies do play well
[20:04] <bungholio> urlin2u: using openbox, im quite new to OB and didn't know how to open it any other way lol
[20:04] <prakas> everything runs fine except during some boots the screen goes black
[20:04] <urlin2u> bungholio, ah just curious.
[20:04] <prakas> and ctrl alt del brings the ubuntu logo followed by a restart
[20:04] <SIFTU> prakas: you havent answered any of the questions.. version of ubuntu and how many lines
[20:04] <dude> hello dudes
[20:04] <dude> does it work with sandy bridge?
[20:04] <BloodSkin> whats up dude
[20:05] <rbookhouse> Anyone here got RTCW or ET working on 11.04 _with_ perfect sound?
[20:05] <Gentoo64> dude, yes
[20:05] <andrea> sera
[20:05] <prakas> i dont have the laptop in this room. i did a install using the gui provided with ubuntu 10.10
[20:05] <neandr> ActionParsnip: with ISO boot I get: [27.048163] [Firmware Bug] ACPI (PEGP) defines _DOD but not _DOS
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> rbookhouse: what is RTCW and what is ET ?
[20:05] <dude> ok i got two ssd, i will install ubuntu to a btrfs raid1 on /
[20:05] <Gentoo64> dude, use ext4
[20:05] <Gentoo64> its faster
[20:05] <rbookhouse> ActionParsnip, if you had them you'd know :P but they're games.
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> neandr: does the ISO pass MD5 test?
[20:05] <SIFTU> prakas: is it a new laptop?
[20:05] <prakas> yes a new netbook
[20:06] <prakas> purchased 6 months ago
[20:06] <SIFTU> dude: yeah dont use btrfs
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> rbookhouse: please don't initialise non-standard things, it makes support near  impossible
[20:06] <prakas> intel atom
[20:06] <neandr> to be honest .. can you tell how to check? sorry
[20:06] <rbookhouse> ActionParsnip, I'll initialise what I like
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> rbookhouse: if they are windows games, did you check the appdb?
[20:06] <SIFTU> prakas: ah netbook, I though it was a vostro 3750
[20:06] <BloodSkin> is there anywhere better than newegg to (window) shop?
[20:06] <rbookhouse> ActionParsnip, please stop trying to help now and give someone else a chance
[20:07] <Gentoo64> BloodSkin, not outsude us i dont think. amazon and ebay
[20:07] <prakas> no it is not a vostro. i use it on an acer aspire core 2 duo laptop with 965gm graphics and another netbook with atom
[20:07] <kaolc2> th0r: Where would I obtain it?
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> rbookhouse: fine, but nobody will have any idea what you are talking about, needing then for further clarification. You choice.  You can give full details and GET support, or initialize "what you like" and get nowhere. Your choice
[20:07] <SIFTU> prakas: ah ok
[20:07] <th0r> kaolc2: not in the repos
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> rbookhouse: essentially, check the appdb for wine
[20:07] <rbookhouse> ActionParsnip, it is, well done, good bye
[20:07] <prakas> in both the same issue persists so both of them are not having any hardware problem. something is buggy but what idk
[20:07] <neandr> ActionParsnip: to be honest .. can you tell how to check for MD5? sorry
[20:08] <rbookhouse> ActionParsnip, and that just proves you have no idea, these are not windows games
[20:08] <rbookhouse> ActionParsnip, done yet?
[20:08] <BloodSkin> oi. it was more of a statement lol but thanks for confirming haha
[20:08] <yeats> !md5sum | neandr
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> rbookhouse: if you give what they ACTUALLY are, we can help
[20:09] <rbookhouse> ActionParsnip, if you had either game you'd be able to help - otherwise you can not... It is just that simple.  And if you had those games you'd know what RTCW and ET is.
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | neandr
[20:09] <th0r> rbookhouse: you haven't been here much before, have you
[20:09] <rbookhouse> th0r, just the opposite, I'm well aware how easy it is to get caught up in mis-advice here and time wasters
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> rbookhouse: fine, struggle away. If you want help then please give details. I doubt anyone will give any help as you aren't being co-operative. I have asked nicely.
[20:10] <Gentoo64> rbookhouse, whats wrong with the sound? have none of them games got configs for sound
[20:10] <rbookhouse> ActionParsnip, And I have asked equally as nicely for you to simply dtop it
[20:10] <Gentoo64> idk what them games are either
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> rbookhouse: you got it
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> rbookhouse: if you get no answer and want to enlighten me, I'm ready to help
[20:11] <MHD> Hey, I need to boot into single user mode on an older box with a forgotten password...
[20:11] <Gentoo64> MHD, and do what?
[20:11] <rbookhouse> Gentoo64, they use OSS now removed from 11.04.  work arounds I'm finding to get them to use ALSA/PA are not working and the OSS Proxy doesn't work as I think they need direct mmap support - any of this on your wavelength?
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> MHD: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root. You can reset your password there
[20:12] <MHD> Gentoo64: reset the password.
[20:12] <Gentoo64> rbookhouse, nope. lol. isnt there some alsa-oss thing
[20:12] <neandr>  ubottu: puh .. i don't have the iso download file anymore .. only the cd with the image. that page tells me I have to store both into one dir
[20:13] <rbookhouse> Gentoo64, yeah "OSS Proxy" is one, OSS API emulation to ALSA or PA.  Which has worked for other OSS games but not these
[20:13] <Gentoo64> rbookhouse, i only know alsa. im not sure whats in the current ubuntu kernel
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> neandr: you can make the CD test itself once the boot starts
[20:13] <Gentoo64> dno if they disabled stuff or not
[20:13] <yitz_> I'm having issues with java running out of heap space. So I'm trying to use -Xmx to make a jvm with a bit more. Should I be able to go above the amount of physical RAM I got? If I go to high, it failed to "reserve enough space for object heap"
[20:13] <prakas> rbookhouse: is that alsa-oss available by default in ubuntu 11.04?
[20:13] <rbookhouse> prakas, no you need to compile it yourself
[20:13] <yeats> neandr: you should be able to "Verify Disk Integrity" from the Live CD menu (hit any key when first booting to get to the menu)
[20:13] <prakas> bad
[20:14] <prakas> without that alsa-oss many midi players dont function
[20:14] <rbookhouse> I'm thinking just put OSS 3 back in the kernel and be done with it
[20:14] <Gentoo64> rbookhouse, thats prob bad as it deprecated
[20:14] <rbookhouse> Gentoo64, no other way
[20:14] <Gentoo64> dont soudn work at all?
[20:14] <prakas> oss was great
[20:14] <Gentoo64> or is it just dodgy
[20:15] <prakas> the new versions have many sound problem issues
[20:15] <rbookhouse> Gentoo64, the games are proprietary so they *only* use OSS
[20:15] <prakas> oss is good i think ;)
[20:15] <rbookhouse> so it's either fool them with library pre-loads to use some other sound system which is flakey at best and isn't working... or translate OSS to ALSA or PA
[20:15] <prakas> when i load them with ./aoss program they work lol
[20:15] <rbookhouse> but the OSS translation isn't perfect and isn't working for these
[20:16] <andrea__> sera
[20:16] <prakas> i dont know why ubuntu by default does not use oss
[20:16] <Gentoo64> rbookhouse, i dont have enough knowledge about oss to help much!
[20:16] <rbookhouse> prakas, yeah that is a preload trick - which games do you use that on?
[20:16] <prakas> i use a program called tuxguitar
[20:16] <kaolc2> th0r: Please tell me more places where I won't find what I am looking for. Perhaps if you tell me enough I can eliminate all possibilities but one
[20:16] <prakas> needs to be loaded with ./aoss
[20:16] <rbookhouse> prakas, are you on 11.04 too?
[20:16] <improveupon> firefox keeps crashing my os. you have to use magic sysrq to reboot. i have already tried removing and re-installing the package + dependencies.
[20:16] <prakas> i am on 10.10
[20:17] <prakas> midi breaks and does not work
[20:17] <prakas> in old version it worked without issues
[20:17] <Haematoma> Can I route ALL outgoing internet traffic through aSSH tunnel?
[20:17] <improveupon> (almost any suggestions will be appreciated)
[20:17] <Gentoo64> improveupon, how much ram have you got?
[20:17] <Haematoma> or would I need to use VPN for that?
[20:17] <rbookhouse> i give up for now, bbl
[20:17] <prakas> in 7.10 and 7.04 it worked well. lol in new versions we have to use an aoss ;) annoying
[20:17] <improveupon> like 2 gigs
[20:18] <yeats> improveupon: I've seen the same behavior - top shows that plugin-container is the culprit
[20:18] <prakas> and why dont they preinstall this aoss xD
[20:18] <Gentoo64> improveupon, ah idk. i know maxing your ram will crash entire os
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> improveupon: is it ok as a different user?
[20:18] <sunil> hi, can anyone tell how to set classpath ?
[20:18] <yeats> improveupon: my life got better after installing flashblock (FF addon)
[20:18] <surfdue> i installed a package that installed lots of dependencies, i removed the pacakge now i have dependencies just in idle how to remove all unused dependecies
[20:18] <surfdue> AND purge them
[20:18] <Gentoo64> surfdue, theres a prog called gtk orphan
[20:19] <Gentoo64> dno if its still used or not
[20:19] <improveupon> thank you both... yeats your suggestion sounds like the culprit
[20:19] <surfdue> Gentoo64: im on command
[20:19] <Gentoo64> surfdue, that cleans deps
[20:19] <yeats> surfdue: deborphan is the command line version
[20:19] <prakas> suppose i use javax.sound.midi and play a note it doesnt work :D i need to pass it as a param in aoss
[20:19] <prakas> annoying
[20:20] <sunil> how set classpath ?
[20:20] <improveupon> but wait... i just uninstalled and re-installed firefox using aptitude. it's still crashing the os. wouldn't that get rid of all the add-on's too? and how can i install ff-block if i cannot start firefox?
[20:20] <adante> when i run metacity --replace, am i supposed to get a window manager?
[20:20] <yeats> improveupon: yeah - it's a pretty serious problem - full memory, high swapping, *very* high load
[20:20] <grillost> hello everybody
[20:21] <adante> my... it seems to kill the existing one, but does not replace it with anything
[20:21] <Gentoo64> sunil, http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/classpath.shtml
[20:21] <adante> this is not a good desktop experience
[20:21] <Polah> improveupon: sudo apt-get purge firefox && sudo rm -r ~/.mozilla && sudo apt-get install firefox
[20:21] <MustardCU> adante, you are suppose to get a windows manager if you use metacity --replace
[20:21] <surfdue> Error connecting to authd socket
[20:21] <yeats> improveupon: your settings/addons/etc. aren't touched when you add/remove Firefox
[20:21] <improveupon> Polah: thank you
[20:21] <surfdue> wtf?
[20:21] <Polah> improveupon: Copy .mozilla away before deleting it if you want to keep bookmarks and stuff
[20:21] <MustardCU> adante, are you sure you have metacity installed?
[20:21] <improveupon> great
[20:21] <Haematoma> Can I route all outbound internet traffic through SSH?
[20:21] <Haematoma> route through an SSH tunnel*
[20:22] <adante> MustardCU: pretty sure, because metacity is a command?
[20:22] <yeats> improveupon: you can 'mv .mozilla .mozilla-old' if you'd rather not lose everything
[20:22] <adante> MustardCU: unless this is a dummy command provided by another package?
[20:22] <grillost> when i try to start ubuntu 11.04 after  a new installation, the pc can't start the x, pc shows a message that say the monitor is out of range, anyone could help me please?
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> grillost: what GPU do you use?
[20:22] <MustardCU> adante, metacity is a program that can run just as you posted it as long as yo have metacity installed
[20:23] <grillost> @ActionPasnip wait please...
[20:23] <improveupon> yeats: thank you
[20:23] <yeats> improveupon: sure ;-) good luck
[20:23] <bungholio> is there some type of third party software channel? to talk about (well everything) i suppose?
[20:24] <Gentoo64> grillost, have you tried turning the monitor off then on while it says that?
[20:25] <yeats> bungholio: ubuntu-wise, there's #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:25] <Gentoo64> #defocus
[20:25] <grillost> @Gentoo64, yeah but appears the same message
[20:26] <bungholio> yeats: okay, thanks alot!
[20:26] <grillost> @ActionPasnip is a video integrated of a Asrock M266A
[20:26] <grillost> this is the link http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=M266A
[20:26] <Gentoo64> grillost, ah ok. sometimes it works. sounds like the refresh rate / res is trying to go too high
[20:26] <CluelessPerson> Can anyone tell me why I can connect to my samba local server share on my android phone, but not from my netbook?
[20:26] <Gentoo64> grillost, maybe its the gpu?
[20:26] <Gentoo64> its old
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> CluelessPerson: can the netbook ping the server?
[20:27] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip,   Yes, I think, depends on what you mean by that
[20:27] <improveupon> would anyone like to suggest a favorite browser other than firefox?
[20:27] <Gentoo64> improveupon, chromium
[20:27] <grillost> yeah, it's old, and i think that its the gpu, cause when i try with another monitor, the mistake is the same
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> grillost: try adding the boot option:   nomodeset
[20:27] <improveupon> that was fast
[20:27] <Gentoo64> it is fast
[20:27] <robin0800> grillost, if it finally boots and you can see it then install startupmanager and use it to srt sane values
[20:27] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip,   the server shows up on the local network in the workgroup on my netbook
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> CluelessPerson: its a connectivity tester, makes sure you have a logical path to the server
[20:28] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip,   you want me to literally ping the server?
[20:28] <CluelessPerson> cluelessperson.com  try pinging it. :p
[20:28] <Konata> Ok guys, "You Must Choose" moment.
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> CluelessPerson: if you can see it local network, it should be ok
[20:29] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip,   I get an error
[20:29] <Konata> I know this is #ubuntu, though, choose: Ubuntu or Debian, and be honest.
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> CluelessPerson: if you run:   smbtree    do you see the share?
[20:29] <genii-around> !polls | Konata
[20:29] <CluelessPerson> run that from where?
[20:29] <echecatl> hi, anyone driving ubuntu with ipv6 (i mean in a lan on ipv6)?
[20:29] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip,   I get the error, "Cannot access //CLUELESSSERVER"
[20:30] <Gentoo64> Konata, what do you want? a normal desktop?
[20:30] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip,  my netbook is running windows
[20:30] <CluelessPerson> smbtree from where?
[20:30] <Konata> Either is fine for me.
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> CluelessPerson: the command is:   ping cluelessserver
[20:30] <th0r> Gentoo64: please don't feed the troll
[20:30] <CluelessPerson> yes, it's pinging
[20:31] <Konata> th0r: I'm not trying to be a troll lol
[20:31] <CluelessPerson> 1ms
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> CluelessPerson: wait, so the syem which cannot access the share is windows based?
[20:31] <Gentoo64> th0r, he might just be asking
[20:31] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip,  yes
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> CluelessPerson: then how is this related to Ubuntu?
[20:31] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip,  It was working fine for awhile, and then it just stopped.
[20:31] <Konata> No wait, isn't there a release of Ubuntu based off Debian?
[20:31] <th0r> Konata: consider...ask here and they will say ubuntu; ask in debian and they will say debian. Try apt-get install common-sense
[20:31] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip,   The server is running Ubuntu 11.04
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> CluelessPerson: but android can access it ok?
[20:32] <Gentoo64> Konata, what about windows?
[20:32] <genii-around> Konata: If you go ask in ##linux they will have likely entirely different answers.
[20:32] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip,  Yes, it can
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> CluelessPerson: then the settings are ok, the issue is with the windows client.
[20:32] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip, I can agree with that, how do I reset it?
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> Konata: all ubuntus are based on debian...
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> CluelessPerson: reset what?
[20:33] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip,   the smb client?  it worked originally, then suddenly stopped.
[20:33] <bungholio> how do i change my hostname for when i connect to IRC?
[20:33] <skassy> this is probably more related to bash than ubuntu specifically, but i removed firefox from apt, and i installed it from source to /usr/lib, but when i type 'firefox' in bash it looks for the file in the old location. any idea how to change this? echo $PATH includes /usr/lib
[20:34] <Gentoo64> bungholio, #freenode can give you stuff
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> CluelessPerson: not sure, its in windows so I'd ask in ##windows   You can restart the samba server with:  sudo service smbd stop; sudo service smbd start
[20:34] <genii-around> !cloak > bungholio
[20:34] <CluelessPerson> ActionParsnip,  I'll try, and I did try.
[20:35] <neandr> yeats:  "you should be able to "Verify Disk Integrity" from the Live CD menu" .. sorry there is only a check of the disc integrity, not the image on the CD
[20:36] <Gentoo64> neandr, the md5 is probably fine
[20:36] <neandr> But before I posted the Firmware error .. to which system does it belong .. the laptop or Ubuntu CD??
[20:37] <yeats> neandr: same thing - since you didn't md5sum, that's the best you've got unless you want to re-download
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> CluelessPerson: you may need to add the username and password when you connect to the share, there should be an option in windows for that

[20:38] <abountu> how can I get ubuntu to accept Tor updates?
[20:38] <Gentoo64> add tor ppa
[20:39] <yeats> !tor
[20:39] <neandr>  Gentoo64: can't install from CD/DVD .. had posted a forum link about it
[20:39] <urlin2u> neandr, post that forum link
[20:40] <Gentoo64> neandr, do other cds work? what happens?
[20:40] <abountu> yeats, I know what is Tor, to explain my question, I installed Tor and it's working perfectly since a while, today, I got an Update through Update Manager, I'm trying to install it, but it's saying: "Requires installation of untrusted packages" how can I get around this?
[20:40] <grillost> @ActionParsnip how can i add the boot option?  i try to push down shift while the system boot, but GRUB doesn't appears
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> !nomodeset
[20:41] <bdiu> i tried to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 but I'm having issues with initramfs.. any suggestions on how I can try to reinstall this?
[20:41] <yeats> abountu: you need a GPG key for the repo you're using
[20:41] <neandr> Genntoo64: yes they work
[20:41] <neandr> you may read the last psoting at : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1732030&page=5 for details
[20:41] <neandr> the very last posting, please
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> bdiu: did the upgrade complete?
[20:41] <jimmy_birer> yeah
[20:42] <jimmy_birer> very last posting
[20:42] <jimmy_birer> or you`ll die
[20:42] <jimmy_birer> in your sleep
[20:42] <bdiu> not correctly... it died due to the initramfs issues
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> bdiu: i see
[20:42] <bdiu> i rebooted and had to use an old kernel
[20:42] <bdiu> now I'm trying to repair, but not having any luck
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> bdiu: ok then i'd retry the upgrade. How did you kick off the upgrade?
[20:43] <ArW> hello eveyone
[20:43] <urlin2u> neandr, do you know the graphics card?
[20:45] <bdiu>  sudo update-manager -c -d
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> bdiu: should use:  sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> bdiu: does it work ok?
[20:46] <bdiu> well it says no new release found if I try to run that now
[20:47] <neilb_> hello all, I'm trying to install 11.04 on a netbook (Toshiba NB555) and getting kernel panic during install.py has anyone encountered this before?

[20:48] <surfdue> how do i reset ubuntu to its default pacakges
[20:48] <Pricey> surfdue: I'm afraid as far as I know, there's no easy way to do that.
[20:49] <Pricey> surfdue: What is your 'real' problem?
[20:49] <grillost> @ActionParsnip nomodeset didn't works
[20:49] <surfdue> Pricey: i cant get openpanel installed and aptitude wont give me a real error
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> surfdue: you could boot live cd and get the list of installed packages, then compare to what you have installed and remove the extras
[20:49] <Pricey> surfdue: Please could you post a log of what happens when you try?
[20:49] <Pricey> surfdue: (in a pastebin)
[20:49] <surfdue> Pricey: yes
[20:50] <bdiu> ActionParsnip: i have a limited terminal and can't seem to scroll back to any error messages... any suggestions on how I should troubleshoot this?
[20:50] <surfdue> Pricey: first problem is broken ones http://pastebin.com/62dgBCjX
[20:50] <surfdue> i cant seem to clear this out
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> bdiu: not sure dude, I always clean install. You could boot to root recovery mode and you may be able to fix from there with:  sudo apt-get -f install
[20:51] <Pricey> surfdue: sudo apt-get remove openpanel-mod-apache2 openpanel-mod-mysql openpanel-mod-spamassassin
[20:51] <Pricey> surfdue: Then try again.
[20:52] <surfdue> Pricey: that said 0 to all notihng upgraded, intalled or removed
[20:52] <grillost> another suggestion for this issue?
[20:52] <Pricey> surfdue: if it doesn't work, a paste of the process would be appreciated :)
[20:52] <surfdue> Pricey: http://pastebin.com/GmRAk5gR
[20:52] <Pricey> surfdue: My foo fails me... sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install
[20:52] <Pricey> surfdue: Then try installing it again?
[20:53] <bdiu> is there an opposite of 'tail'?
[20:53] <Pricey> bdiu: head
[20:53] <bdiu> thnx
[20:53] <Pricey> surfdue: Oh... have you added a 3rd party repository?
[20:53] <ahmed_> #ubuntu
[20:53] <surfdue> Pricey: yes
[20:53] <Pricey> bdiu: Beware, not all options match.
[20:54] <bdiu> okay the error i see is 'not writing through dangling symlink /etc/initramfs-tools/modules'
[20:54] <Pricey> surfdue: Aha... at a guess they're not maintaining their repository properly. What exactly did you add?
[20:55] <surfdue> Pricey: http://www.openpanel.com/download/openpanel-download/
[20:55] <surfdue> Pricey: W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://download.openpanel.com/deb/ stable/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/download.openpanel.com_deb_dists_stable_main_binary-amd64_Packages) but this is not an amd system
[20:55] <Pricey> surfdue: I think those are Debian packages.
[20:55] <freeb0y> I have workspaces... and I notice that the workspaces contents will switch around. The boxes  in each one will all go left or right... up down etc. This happens once every two-three hours
[20:55] <ahmed_> hi
[20:55] <grillost> I can login into tty1, but x doesn't starts
[20:56] <Pricey> surfdue: Although they apparently claim it works on all...
[20:56] <Pricey> surfdue: Sorry I'm failing a little here :)
[20:57] <grillost> @ActionParsnip more suggestions?
[20:57] <cortexman> How can I find out if there is support for this hardware in Ubuntu? Serial Attached SCSI controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] (rev 03)
[20:57] <surfdue> Pricey: np.. ubuntu == debian.
[20:57] <Pricey> surfdue: I'm afraid not.
[20:57] <cortexman> LSI used to be supported via package mpt but it no longer exists
[20:57] <surfdue> Pricey: pretty much
[20:57] <Pricey> surfdue: And I wouldn't normally use debian packages on an Ubuntu system.
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> grillost: if you are only installing ubuntu, you could use the alternate installer and install in text mode
[20:57] <meomic> hey, does anyone kno wwhat can cause the driver to stuck (needs to be restarted) (driver iwlagn) when i just start tcpdump using this driver?(wlan0)? (ubuntu 11.04 x86-64, wifi card:intel 4965 AGN)
[20:57] <bdiu> can I force initramfs-tools to completely reinstall?
[20:58] <Pricey> surfdue: Could you try making sur eyou've removed all openpanel packages, then add openpanel-gui?
[20:58] <surfdue> i cant remove them
[20:58] <Pricey> surfdue: I see reports that that one installs fine, which'll get you the bare bones at hte very least.
[20:58] <surfdue> how do i force them?
[20:58] <grillost> @ActionParsnip i do it, but the problem is when i start the x
[20:58] <Pricey> surfdue: Run sudo apt-get install openpanel-gui
[20:58] <Pricey> surfdue: And tell me what it says.
[20:58] <kdub> internet
[20:59] <grillost> @ActionParsnip the system is installed fine.
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> grillost: alternate install doesn't use X. It installs in text mode
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> grillost: i see
[21:00] <grillost> @ActionParsnip yeah, the problem is after the system is installed, 'cause i can't start the video
[21:01] <K|nG> Hi there I have one problem :A why there doesn`t show the minimize and close :A ??
[21:01] <l3d> I am using 10.10 and was wondering if there is a easy way to get the latest firefox?
[21:01] <fuho> Hi, I think I found a character in Ubuntu fonts that is incorrect, where should I report it?
[21:01] <K|nG> to anything I open ?? How i should fix that ?/
[21:02] <Pricey> l3d: 'latest'?
[21:02] <meomic> he prolly mean nightly builds
[21:02] <fuho> Character that renders as a different character. I don't know much about fonts, so I tried other fonts, but the issue seems to stay.
[21:02] <Pricey> meomic: or '6'
[21:03] <Pricey> meomic: 6 is stable, but then there are 7, 8 & 9... any of which could be 'latest' :)
[21:03] <bdiu> i don't know exactly how I fixed it.. but I ended up reinstalling initramfs-tools and it looks like it might be booting
[21:03] <jweinberg> What is the recommended wireless-N card?
[21:03] <jweinberg> for a desktop machine
[21:03] <surfdue> Pricey: how do u tell apt-get to install depencies
[21:04] <Atlantic777> Hi! A friend of mine has just asked me what's the easiest way to restore ubuntu-deksktop/unity. He told me that he sees the ubuntu classic (the old gnome) either he enters ubuntu or ubuntu (classic) in the GDM.
[21:04] <Atlantic777> What's the easiest way to fix this?
[21:04] <Pricey> jweinberg: I've had good experiences with realtek & atheros chipsets but 'yeah'... Preferably try befor eyou buy ;-)
[21:04] <jweinberg> haha
[21:04] <Pricey> surfdue: That's the beauty of apt... it does it on its own... you don' tneed to.
[21:04] <jweinberg> thats why I'm asking :)
[21:04] <jweinberg> I was using wired connection up until now
[21:05] <surfdue> Pricey: http://pastebin.com/CAC7qfdz
[21:05] <jweinberg> just want to drop something in and not mess with it
[21:05] <Pricey> surfdue: Awesome, you got openpanel-gui installed then?
[21:05] <jweinberg> no using whatever that tool that lets me use the windows drivers, or using fwcutter
[21:05] <Pricey> surfdue: Now THIS is why using debian packages/repositories on Ubuntu is a BAD(tm) idea :)
[21:06] <surfdue> Pricey: yes but i cant find shareutilz
[21:06] <surfdue> erg
[21:06] <Pricey> surfdue: I expect that package is available on Debian.
[21:06] <Pricey> surfdue: openpanel build their packages on debian.

[21:18] <usr13> bobo87: yes
[21:19] <bobo87> so - today i bought new notebook (ASUS K53SJ) and after installing nVidia drivers it will not bootup :) x server crashes - this notebook has hybrid Intel & nVidia graphics chips - any ideas, how to solve it?

[21:22] <newb> hi, i want to unrar a file but it has a password, any way round this?
[21:22] <usr13> bobo87: rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[21:23] <bobo87> usr13: that's all?
[21:23] <jimmy_birer> yeah bobo87
[21:23] <usr13> bobo87: Yep
[21:23] <newb> tks
[21:23] <jimmy_birer> it will rewrite itself
[21:23] <jimmy_birer> when you launch Xorg again
[21:23] <jimmy_birer> (the system does it automatically)
[21:24] <jimmy_birer> i love helping newbs
[21:24] <bobo87> thx, i'm not with notebook right now, but i'll try it
[21:24] <usr13> bobo87: BTW, what version of Ubuntu did you install?
[21:24] <gwinbee> i did not know that either. TIL.
[21:24] <bobo87> usr13: latest (11.04?)
[21:24] <adrian_t> does anybody know how to install dazuko for avira antivirus?
[21:24] <usr13> bobo87: Fully updated yet?
[21:24] <bobo87> usr13: it fully updates after first login
[21:25] <usr13> bobo87: very good.
[21:26] <bobo87> usr13: i hope, in about 15-30 minutes try to remove that config and hope, it will work :) but really thanks now
[21:26] <jrmcm> Is it possible to change the titles of the OS's in the grub2 boot menu?
[21:27] <jimmy_birer> jrmcm:see /etc/grub.conf
[21:27] <usr13> !grub2 | jrmcm
[21:27] <jimmy_birer> after the "title" word
[21:27] <jimmy_birer> usr13
[21:27] <krux_> yo
[21:27] <jimmy_birer> thats wwrong
[21:27] <jimmy_birer> lets help the guy change it
[21:27] <minashokry> hello, I was using Unity without problems bu today, suddenly, unity doesn't open anymore, it starts in classic gnome. where can I find the problem?
[21:27] <jimmy_birer> minashokry:select from the login menu
[21:27] <jimmy_birer> at the bottom
[21:28] <jimmy_birer> there is an icon
[21:28] <jimmy_birer> click on it and select Ubuntu Desktop
[21:28] <minashokry> jimmy_birer: I already select it but it still opens in classic gnome
[21:28] <jimmy_birer> what video card you got?
[21:29] <minashokry> jimmy_brier: Intel & nVidia with optimus technology. unity was working before on this configuration
[21:30] <jimmy_birer> minashokry:what video card you got...
[21:30] <jrmcm> jimmy_birer, all i have is grub.d
[21:30] <jimmy_birer> wait
[21:30] <jimmy_birer> go to command prompt
[21:30] <minashokry> jimmy_brier: I think it should be working on the intel as I have to use a special command to run something on the nVidia card
[21:30] <jimmy_birer> at applciations>accesories>terminal
[21:31] <jimmy_birer> and type "sudo nano /etc/grub.conf"
[21:31] <jimmy_birer> enter the password then (the password will not show but you its entered anyway)
[21:31] <jimmy_birer> then look for title
[21:31] <jimmy_birer> "title"
[21:31] <jimmy_birer> after the title type what you want
[21:31] <jimmy_birer> ;)
[21:32] <jrmcm> jimmy_birer, ty
[21:32] <jimmy_birer> have fun bro,-hugs-
[21:32] <auronandace> jimmy_birer: grub.cfg is under /boot/grub/ and you shouldn't edit it directly
[21:32] <jimmy_birer> ooooooooooooh crap
[21:32] <jimmy_birer> its sudo nano /etc/grub.d/grub.conf
[21:32] <jimmy_birer> right?
[21:32] <auronandace> no
[21:33] <jimmy_birer> man i didnt use ubuntu for a long time
[21:33] <jimmy_birer> sorry
[21:33] <jimmy_birer> and wait,editing grub.conf at /boot/grub/grub.conf doesnt put risk
[21:33] <guntbert> !enter | jimmy_birer
[21:33] <jimmy_birer> guntbert:i would tell you to go .... yourself but as a gentleman i wont
[21:35] <klj613> just created a symlink /var/www/domain.com -> /media/Media/WebDev/domain.com however via http://localhost i get 403 Forbidden. how can i counter this?
[21:35] <minashokry> jimmy_brier: I guess I have this problem because I installed "fglrx" package. but I uninstalled it and still can't restore unity
[21:35] <usr13> jimmy_birer:  I think the file your looking for is  /boot/grub/grub.cfg  and it's the text in quotes after menuentry
[21:35] <jimmy_birer> yeah
[21:35] <jimmy_birer> thats right
[21:35] <jimmy_birer> ty very much for pointing it out
[21:35] <Polah> klj613, make sure you have public read permissions set up
[21:35] <fenjamin> alright here i am
[21:36] <mah454> ok

[21:36] <jimmy_birer> inb4 spam
[21:36] <mah454> I have a big problem for installing ubuntu in Acer Laptop ...
[21:37] <jimmy_birer> mah454:explain it to us bro
[21:37] <jimmy_birer> we`re listening to you
[21:37] <rickh> klj613: That is apache stuff, apache needs to be configured to follow symlinks, only I forgot how.
[21:37] <devish> hi,
[21:37] <jimmy_birer> welcome,devish!
[21:37] <usr13> jimmy_birer: But at the top of the file, it says "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE" & "It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub"
[21:37] <rickh> klj613: By default it does not for security reasons, but it can be turned on.
[21:37] <jimmy_birer> do it anyway
[21:37] <jimmy_birer> i did it
[21:37] <klj613> rickh, its setup by default, just dont have permissions i assume.
[21:37] <jimmy_birer> and didnt do me anything
[21:37] <mah454> graphical installer do not show me partition table
[21:37] <jimmy_birer> klj613:he has them
[21:37] <jimmy_birer> but in the file
[21:37] <jimmy_birer> it reads that

[21:38] <mongy> Options FollowSymLinks
[21:38] <beruga> Hey, guys, something that's puzzling me right now: I always thought, if there is a .desktop file in your ~/.config/autostart it means it will start up once you log in,
[21:38] <jimmy_birer> devish,youtube-dl is outdated
[21:38] <jimmy_birer> because youtube changed its layout
[21:38] <jimmy_birer> for videos
[21:38] <beruga> now, I disabled the bluetooth manager via unchecking the box in the "Startup Applications Preferences" dialog and found out it actually created that very bluetooth-applet.desktop in the autostart folder
[21:38] <beruga> and if I try deleting it myself in this folder, it will recheck the box next to the application entry. Why is that? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
[21:38] <devish> jimmy_birer: so what now
[21:38] <mongy> jimmy_birer, youtube-dl works fine
[21:38] <jimmy_birer> devish:use another downloader
[21:38] <jimmy_birer> for youtube
[21:38] <devish> like
[21:38] <rickh> klj613: The permission for webcontent ought to be 0644, in short read-write for the owner, read for the group and everyone else.
[21:39] <mah454> I have a big problem for installing ubuntu in Acer Laptop . Graphical installer do not show me partition table ....
[21:39] <jimmy_birer> or go get youtube-dl.py
[21:39] <jimmy_birer> from their website
[21:39] <devish> jimmy_birer: like what
[21:39] <klj613> the source folder in the symlink is on NTFS and cant seem to adjust permissions
[21:39] <jimmy_birer> just google youtube-dl.py
[21:39] <guntbert> usr13: if you edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly your changes will be overwritten with the next kernel update, thats why editing /etc/default/grub and then running sudo update-grub is recommended
[21:39] <jimmy_birer> devish:go get youtube-dl.py,save it to your folder with your name
[21:39] <IdleOne> youtube-dl is in the repos
[21:39] <jimmy_birer> IdleOne:its outdated
[21:39] <jimmy_birer> :|
[21:40] <mongy> IdleOne, it needs updating because youtube changed stuff.  the one from youtube-dl site works fine
[21:40] <IdleOne> wasn't aware
[21:40] <IdleOne> good to know. thanks.
[21:40] <jimmy_birer> devish:go get it from their website
[21:40] <jimmy_birer> just search youtube-dl first link click
[21:40] <jimmy_birer> save it to the folder named with your name
[21:41] <jimmy_birer> and then open applcations>accesories>terminal
[21:41] <jimmy_birer> type ./"file-name-here"
[21:41] <devish> jimmy_birer: ok ,thanks buddy let me try out
[21:41] <jrmcm> guntbert, How can i change the titles of the menu entries from /etc/default/grub ?
[21:41] <mongy> make it +x
[21:42] <jimmy_birer> ok buddy
[21:43] <guntbert> jrmcm: there is no easy way if I remember correctly - but please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 for some hints and tricks
[21:43] <stephenthemartyr>  can i use furies mount tool to get my recovery copy of windows xp so i can put it in a virtual machine?
[21:44] <usr13> jrmcm: As was stated before, you would have to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg  but your work will be wiped when a kernel upgrade comes along.
[21:44] <mongy> guntbert, i've just directly changed grub.cfg before, but it wont last an update-grub obviously :)
[21:45] <guntbert> mongy: of course, but that is not an option I want to suggest to others
[21:46] <mah454> I have a big problem for installing ubuntu in Acer Laptop . Graphical installer do not show me partition table ....
[21:46] <bobo87> usr13: after removing xorg.conf system boots up, but when i starts NVIDIA X Server Settings, it says, that i don't use nVidia drivers and when i open additional drivers dialog, it is also marked as activated but currently not in use :/
[21:46] <mongy> guntbert, I know.  You'd think ubuntu by now would have all that in place itself
[21:46] <jimmy_birer> back
[21:46] <jimmy_birer> smoked a cigarette
[21:46] <guntbert> !away > jimmy_birer
[21:47] <koppe> With upstart, is it possible to define more than 6 runlevels?  Does really runlevels work at all?  If I change the start-on-runlevels in the rc-file, must I still remove/disable the links in the rcNUM
[21:47] <koppe> in the rcLEVEL.d directories?
[21:47] <marsje> Simple question: is scp a standard command on Ubuntu, or do I need to install a package 1st?
[21:47] <mongy> standard...
[21:48] <rww> marsje: it's installed by default as part of the openssh-client package
[21:49] <MrFisherman> E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. ?
[21:49] <marsje> rww: thanks. I'm trying some remote ubuntu user to scp a file to me, but she says scp does not work (unknown command)
[21:49] <bobo87> usr13:any idea?:)
[21:50] <koppe> marsje: You must then install the ssh-server pack, as they're trying to connect to your computer
[21:51] <marsje> koppe: I have it
[21:51] <klj613> a basic symlink works on apache, however when i point it to a NTFS file system (storage hdd, used via all my OS's) i get 403 forbidden.. not sure how to edit permissions on a media based filesystem.. /media/Media
