[00:00] <quantumlemur> hey, I'm 11.04, and my battery monitor reports an incorrect status and charge state, even though the detailed battery window is correct, and acpi reports correct status.  I haven't been able to find any fixes yet.  Does anyone have any ideas?
[00:00] <eb3ha4el> eb3ha4el: do you know how to change the font? I actually have a guess that problem caused because I did not set the font properly.. I have an experience of problem of same square thing with subtitle for movie, and it is fixed when correct path was set for font..
[00:00] <jspiros> ksni: I think he does SNES emulation sometimes, but that definitely doesn't matter. I think the biggest issue is he likes to watch videos, sometimes HD
[00:00] <clarkthehardy910> maybe I'm in the wrong room. Which channel can I find advice on how to get into grub on the first boot after a completely new install?
[00:00] <eb3ha4el> szal: do you know how to change the font? I actually have a guess that problem caused because I did not set the font properly.. I have an experience of problem of same square thing with subtitle for movie, and it is fixed when correct path was set for font..
[00:00] <OerHeks> !grub2
[00:00] <[THC]AcidRain> wow. what jerk ban me
[00:00] <TheDead91> rationalOgre, I know about conflict between router as DHCP and DHCP server in the lan, I will find out it but I can't modify router's options so i need to set up a new DHCP
[00:00] <clarkthehardy910> oh, sorry
[00:01] <ksni> jspiros: about that i3, is it Sandy Bridge or older? http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel_snb_natty&num=1
[00:01] <clarkthehardy910> ubottu: maybe its not grub2
[00:01] <rationalOgre> TheDead91: Just curious, but why can't you touch the routers options? No password?
[00:01] <eb3ha4el> szal: Ah I found it. and it seem it';s working thanks
[00:02] <bullgard4> Maylow: http://askubuntu.com/questions/22232/how-to-control-order-of-startup-items-in-gnome is probably correct in its syntax. But I have another error: "(tilda:1439): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA_gtk_window_resize: assertion `width > 0' failed."
[00:03] <jspiros> ksni: Clarkdale, not Sandy Bridge
[00:03] <rationalOgre> TheDead91: What you can do to test is, just set one of the computers to use DHCP. If it gets an IP address then you know the router is doing it already.
[00:03] <TheDead91> rationalOgre, in the same lan PCs and "number controlled machines" live one near the other, but the last ones wont accept dynamic IPs. So i need to configure them with statical ones and PCs with dynamically ones for the simplicity and scalability of this solution
[00:03] <TheDead91> rationalOgre, I already tried that :)
[00:03] <rationalOgre> TheDead91: Ok, so then chances are there's no DHCP server running on the router.
[00:04] <Maylow> bullgard4, why do you need tilda to start automatically?
[00:04] <gmachine_24> Ok, nm, I figured it out.
[00:04] <Maylow> kiichiro, see priv msg pls
[00:04] <TheDead91> rationalOgre, I can't touch router because the one who asked me to do this thing explicit that he want not to touche the router
[00:04] <rationalOgre> TheDead91: So pick an always-on computer, preferably a server that has a static IP address already, and set it up to be the DHCP server for the network.
[00:04] <masahiro> thanks to your tip, my problem is solved ! THANKS A BUNCH
[00:04] <bullgard4> Maylow: To save time.
[00:05] <rationalOgre> TheDead91: Well that's just silly but ah well. When you're on the clients dime and whatnot.
[00:05] <TheDead91> rationalOgre, yes the idea was that, but i wanted to be sure before doing something
[00:05] <dijonyummy> how can i use nautilus as sudo when logged in as user
[00:05] <TheDead91> rationalOgre, thank you so much
[00:05] <rationalOgre> TheDead91: Just be aware, this solution is sub-optimal compared to the router being the DHCP server because if your DHCP server computer goes down, all the dynamic clients do as well.
[00:05] <TheDead91> :)
[00:06] <Maylow> bullgard4, you could probably try using cron to start tilda with some delay or sth?
[00:06] <Raikia> dijonyummy: open terminal and type 'sudo nautilus'
[00:06] <Maylow> bullgard4, it's probablly a stupid idea
[00:06] <rationalOgre> At least once their lease is up anyway.
[00:06] <Maylow> bullgard4, but anyway im out of ideas
[00:06] <rationalOgre> TheDead91: But yes, it is possible.
[00:06] <ksni> jspiros: I'm unsure about Diablo 3, but it should be enough for HD videos and older games
[00:07] <bullgard4> Maylow: I will now follow some of the error messages which Google hit.
[00:07] <jspiros> ksni: So the Clarkdale i3 IGP works fine with 11.04 afayk?
[00:08] <TheDead91> rationalOgre, if DHCP server goes down clients wont connect but machines still work (and you can set up static IPs to PCs who need to work), but in case router goes down you can't work at all, so at the end is the same thing
[00:09] <ImDexter> what are the advantages of ff5 over ff4 as of today?
[00:09] <Maylow> bullgard4, I'm going to sleep; sorry could not help you... hope you'll find a solution
[00:09] <bullgard4> Maylow: Thank you again. Good night to you.
[00:10] <zertyuio> hello
[00:10] <clarkthehardy910> alt+ctrl+F2 isnt working... is there another way to get to prompt, or revert my refresh range, so that I can see something? I'm stuck on Out of Range screen
[00:10] <noumaan> I have installed 11.04 but on startup my system hangs on login screen. Apparantely I have corrupt hardware which can not use hardware accelration for graphics. Any fix for this issue?
[00:10] <zertyuio> what is the default mail server on ubuntu ?
[00:10] <ksni> jspiros: I have used it with 10.10 for a short while months ago, but ended up using my spare 9600GT
[00:10] <ksni> can't remember how well it performed
[00:10] <rationalOgre> TheDead91: True.
[00:11] <brownbox> I want to let someone remotely organize a large collection of files on my ubuntu raid, they are comfortable with windows interfaces, what's the best way to set this up
[00:11] <ksni> anyway, this http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel_clarkdale_gpu&num=3
[00:11] <jspiros> ksni: thanks :)
[00:11] <rationalOgre> brownbox: ftp server?
[00:11] <TheDead91> rationalOgre, so I'm not stupid at all? :)
[00:12] <rationalOgre> brownbox: Are they on a machine in your local network?
[00:12] <eb3ha4el> I'm trying to install minimal ubuntu and having troubles in network configuration. It seems automatic configuration doesnt work. I'm installing it on laptop using wlan, passtword protected. any ideas?
[00:12] <dijonyummy> Raikia; thx
[00:12] <ksni> jspiros: it wasn't buggy or anything
[00:12] <rationalOgre> TheDead91: Why would you be stupid? The client is the one insisting you not touch the router, which is foolish IMO.
[00:12] <brownbox> not on the local network
[00:13] <rationalOgre> TheDead91: It's a perfectly workable solution given the constraints.
[00:13] <rationalOgre> brownbox: So then ftp server is probably going to your best option.
[00:13] <zertyuio> i just only need SMTP
[00:13] <zertyuio> what i have to install ?
[00:14] <brownbox> isn't it a bit cumbersome moving files around like that?
[00:14] <robin0800> eb3ha4el, if it is wpa and not wep you are out of luck I think
[00:14] <brownbox> is there some way to have something similar to explorer windows with cut and paste
[00:14] <rationalOgre> brownbox: Yeah, less so then, say, them r-desktoping in. But you said they wanted to stay in a windows interface, no?
[00:15] <rationalOgre> s/less/more
[00:15] <brownbox> well they're comfortable with windows explorer
[00:15] <brownbox> so something familiar would be nice
[00:15] <TheDead91> rationalOgre, he's scared about his machines, it have no-sense for me to don't touch the router: my first solution was to made it act as a DHCP and so reserve some IPs for the machines as static ones but he didn't listen
[00:15] <rationalOgre> Nautilus not similar enough?
[00:15] <hpuser> windows exolorer can do ftp ... ?
[00:16] <rationalOgre> TheDead91: Lemme guess, he runs a startup of some type?
[00:16] <ImDexter> helpers: I reinstalled ff4, and in the upper bar, the directions bar, i see a heart that I wanna get rid of... how?
[00:16] <eb3ha4el> robin0800: I'm newbie, do you mean that theway password is encoded or something like that? It seems it's WPA2
[00:16] <rationalOgre> hpuser: You can get an extension for explorer to make ftp shares look like local folders.
[00:17] <brownbox> interesting, cutting and pasting would be practical this way?
[00:17] <TheDead91> rationalOgre, I don't think so
[00:18] <bullgard4> ppq: Ich habe nun versucht, Tilda verzögert automatisch starten zu lassen. Aber das ergibt in ~/.xsession-errors  den Fehler: "(tilda:1439): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_window_resize: assertion `width > 0' failed." Denselben Fehler haben andere Leute unter ganz anderen Umständen erhalten. Kennst Du seine Bedeutung?
[00:18] <eb3ha4el> robin0800: do people usually use wire lan then when they netinstall?? and is it because this password protection that installer cannot automatically configure network?
[00:18] <hpuser> brownbox, u could setup openVPN, then VPN into it from windows then use "windows file and printer sharing function"?
[00:18] <brownbox> I wouldn't want windows to try to copy all the data to the local machine each time
[00:18] <robin0800> eb3ha4el, yes my router uses wpa2 but the alternate cd and the minimal one only do wep
[00:18] <hpuser> on linux its called samba
[00:18] <Tailsfan> Hi There, Is there a app that is similar to Windows "On-Screen Keyboard"?
[00:18] <ksni> jspiros: ah, now I remember... the FPS rose from about 40 with the Clarkdale, to over 200 with the NVIDIA card in Minecraft with 1920x1080,fullscreen
[00:18] <rationalOgre> brownbox: You could set up openSSH and then have them install WinSCP.
[00:18] <rationalOgre> http://winscp.net/eng/docs/dragext
[00:19] <kv102t> I still can't get my buffalo to auto mount using /etc/fstab... any help please
[00:19] <ksni> jspiros: so the Clarkdale performed only slightly better than my laptop from 5 years ago
[00:19] <eb3ha4el> robin0800: that is shame.. okay thanks.. but im just curious it asks me for my IP address when I try to configure it manually, how do i check what my ip address is?
[00:19] <ksni> I'd recommend a separate card if he wants to play any recent games
[00:20] <ballball87> I have a question. I have ubuntu server and booting over PXE however it only wants to use the phsyical cdrom as the location of installation media. How can I tell it to install over the net or perhaps find the CD somewhere on my local network? Can I pass nfs or http on the command line?
[00:20] <robin0800> eb3ha4el, its the router address
[00:20] <jspiros> ksni: which nVidia did you go to?
[00:20] <brownbox> it's my understanding that samba has compatibility issues with windows 7
[00:20] <rationalOgre> afk a few
[00:20] <eb3ha4el> robin0800: okay thanks
[00:20] <ksni> 9600GT
[00:21] <hpuser> brownbox, its the other way around
[00:21] <kv102t> rationalOgre: i'm still trying to mount my share :(
[00:22] <kv102t> rationalOgre: IF i mount it by clicking, can I see what/how it's been mounted. then copy that config>
[00:22] <kv102t> ?
[00:22] <robin0800> kv102t, /robins-nas.mine.nu/network /media/network cifs  credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777, 0
[00:22] <Nickkkkk> How do I install brograms after I untar them?
[00:24] <test12> hi all
[00:24] <eb3ha4el> robin0800: Do i need to then, contact to my internet service provider to know what IP address they have given to my router? Strane enough on my router, there is IP address, seem to be written when manufactured... <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:24] <eb3ha4el> robin0800: i guess it's virtual ip address isn't it?
[00:25] <kv102t> special device //<IP_ADDRESS>/Data does not exist
[00:25] <kitche> eb3ha4el: <IP_ADDRESS> is the local network ip address for yourr router
[00:25] <kv102t> robin0800: fail
[00:25] <ImDexter> can i change the add to bookmarks icon? its a heart
[00:25] <ImDexter> cant it be anything else?
[00:26] <eb3ha4el> kitche: yes, and would it work for network configuration on my laptop?
[00:26] <robin0800> eb3ha4el, that is its ip address if you put it in a browser you should see the routers configuration page
[00:26] <kitche> eb3ha4el: it should if you put it as the gateway
[00:26] <escott> eb3ha4el, go to http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[00:26] <eb3ha4el> thanks everyone
[00:27] <rationalOgre> kv102t: Will it mount by clicking on it?
[00:27] <dijonyummy> is it possible to create a symbolic link to a folder inside a mounted cifs fs?
[00:27] <robin0800> kv102t, what fails ?
[00:28] <escott> dijonyummy, i don't think so
[00:28] <kv102t> rationalOgre: yes, by click it will mount
[00:28] <szal> Nickkkkk: (1) what programs?  (2) why?  (3) most such archives come w/ directions
[00:28] <dijonyummy> but nfs will work?
[00:28] <dijonyummy> ie ln -s on mounted nfs fs folder
[00:29] <kv102t> robin0800: the line you sent me for your NAS
[00:29] <L3d> what is a good firewall ppl ??
[00:29] <robin0800> kv102t, //robins-nas.mine.nu/network /media/network cifs  credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777, 0
[00:29] <Blue1> !awesome
[00:29] <TSG> Is this just general chat about ubuntu? I randomly tried this channel on xchat and it worked.
[00:29] <escott> dijonyummy, i think only the most recent versions of ntfs has support for symlinks. nfs should support symlinks as long as the underlying filesystem does
[00:29] <szal> L3d: iptables, if you are able to configure it
[00:30] <L3d> nope not my pc either ..
[00:30] <dijonyummy> escott: i see thanks
[00:30] <L3d> ipcop ??
[00:31] <ImDexter> bookmark in launcher icon is  a heart, how do I get rid of it?
[00:31] <ImDexter> i mean firefox
[00:31] <robin0800> kv102t, its just address mountpoint filesystem user  & passwords options
[00:32] <L3d> so i just say(port foreward?) to some programs to go on t
[00:32] <szal> ImDexter: pic or it didn't happen
[00:32] <L3d> he net or do i need to configure more ?
[00:32] <ImDexter> lol
[00:32] <ImDexter> szal, it wasnt there before my total reinstallation
[00:33] <rewt> L3d, most 'firewall' software are front-ends for iptables (and create more rules than necessary)
[00:33] <TSG> Is anyone else using gnome-shell on 11.04?
[00:34] <TSG> for some reason my amd driver makes gnome 3 crash
[00:34] <robin0800> TSG, no because it brakes unity
[00:34] <alecjw> hey, is there anyone here knowledgable with ecryptfs?
[00:35] <box___> do you know where i can download GNOME 3 .deb files?
[00:35] <kv102t> OK so I try to mdir data and it comes back with can't open /dev/fd0... whats that !
[00:35] <L3d> thnx anyway ,my own pc has got the bsod error when i installed windows on a diffrent harddrive .. meh
[00:35] <rww> !gnome3 | box___
[00:35] <TSG> Yeah my unity is broken but I prefer gnome3 anyways
[00:36] <TSG> I am just too close to ubuntu to steer away but I am not a fan of unity.
[00:36] <L3d> bsod driver related or hardware realted ??
[00:36] <indicator> Hello. I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 x64 on my Thinkpad T520. I am using discrete graphics and have OS detection turned off in the BIOS. Any time I boot linux now, it either freezes at a purple grub screen (no text), or freezes after logging in (via GDM)
[00:36] <escott> alecjw, what is your question
[00:36] <indicator> I'm using NVidia current drivers, but that doesn't seem to matter
[00:37] <amin`> could I control network manager in terminal? create and connect dsl pppoe connection for instant?
[00:37] <L3d> sounds like absod to me aaah!!!!!!
[00:37] <escott> amin`, nmcli
[00:38] <L3d> laters ..
[00:38] <amin`> escott, what do you mean?
[00:38] <alecjw> escott: i'm having trouble automounting my ecryptfs directory. on login, it says keyctl_search: Key not available. i can ecryptfs_unwrap it, and insert the key into the keyring, but then i still get the same error when i try to mount manually
[00:38] <escott> amin`, thats the name of the program
[00:38] <szal> kv102t: /dev/fd0 is a floppy drive
[00:38] <alecjw> i'm not on ubuntu, i just came here because i know ubuntu offers ecryptfs by default so i'm probably more likely to find help here than in #gentoo
[00:39] <Guest63837> ubuntu
[00:39] <szal> alecjw: we don't support Gentoo, no matter what program you run on it
[00:39] <amin`> escott, I installed network-manager I just want to know if it does work via terminal or i need nmcli to make nwtworkmanager to work or nmcli is something diffrent?
[00:39] <kitche> alecjw: probaably get help on ##linux more
[00:40] <escott> amin`, man nmcli
[00:40] <TSG> When I enable my ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver, everything looks all glitchy and changes colors.
[00:40] <TSG> Right now i'm running in fall back mode
[00:40] <eb3ha4el> What is name server? Do i need to specified that when configuring network?
[00:40] <alecjw> hmm alright, thanks then
[00:40] <hpuser> eb3ha4el, u can use : <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:41] <escott> alecjw, not familiar enough to say
[00:41] <joeedh> how do I disable the f10 menu accel key?
[00:41] <escott> alecjw, check dustin kirklands blog or look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory
[00:41] <szal> eb3ha4el: sounds like you want to read up on how networking works in general
[00:41]  * joeedh is starting to think there's a hardcoded hack somewhere that overrides gtkrc files
[00:41] <TSG> my f10 button turns up my volume.
[00:41] <eb3ha4el> szal: that would be greatly appreciated if you know any good reference
[00:41] <joeedh> interesting
[00:42] <hpuser> eb3ha4el, furthermore ur gateway is: <IP_ADDRESS> // netmask is : <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:42] <phong_> hi guys, is there a way to short cut the 'sudo' into something like 1 letter thing?
[00:42] <escott> eb3ha4el, what is asking your for a nameserver? your computer or the router?
[00:42] <phong_> can 'sudo' be alias?
[00:42] <escott> phong_, alias
[00:42] <phong_> escott, will it work?
[00:42] <rww> phong_: yes
[00:42] <eb3ha4el> hpuser: Yes I found out that. but what is that Ip address <IP_ADDRESS> suddenly?
[00:42] <phong_> oh okay thanks
[00:42] <rww> alias s=sudo
[00:42] <rww> or whatever
[00:42] <phong_> rww thansk, i got tired of spelling out
[00:43] <phong_> where can i put alias?
[00:43] <phong_> ~/.bashrc
[00:43] <escott> eb3ha4el, that is your networks global internet address, the 192 stuff is local to you internal network (behind your router)
[00:43] <alecjw> escott: ah right, thanks
[00:43] <rww> phong_: yes, ~/.bashrc
[00:43] <hpuser> eb3ha4el, it's a name server ... opendns.org   go look if u dont trust me : //
[00:43] <eb3ha4el> escott: I'm not sure what you mean, well I'm trying to install ubuntu minimal, and I was configuring network manually.. and it asks me for name servers which are used to look up host names on the network?
[00:44] <escott> eb3ha4el, sorry hpuser is correct thats opendns i assumed that was your ip. if you cant get auto config working use that 208 number or use <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:44] <eb3ha4el> escott: I understand what you mean.. So is this <IP_ADDRESS> is IP address of my internet service provider?
[00:45] <Poindexter_> Question. If I use VirtualBox with Windows and want to install Ubuntu, can I use the ISO I downloaded to
[00:45] <Poindexter_> install on a clean disk to install it on a VMBox?
[00:45] <L3d> the update manager needs update servers ,jes ?
[00:46] <L3d> laters pps
[00:46] <escott> eb3ha4el, no thats opendns.org your address is apparently <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:48] <escott> Poindexter_, yes no need to burn it
[00:50] <eb3ha4el> hpuser: no it's not that I don't trust you :( just confused. how have you found that out? more importantly, IP address and DNS seems to me more or less the same.. would mind tell me the difference between those?
[00:51] <pc_> how do i wipe the mbr?
[00:51] <ImDexter> i want to get rid of the heart icon (bookmark in launcher) in firefox 4
[00:51] <escott> eb3ha4el, dns is a service you go to <IP_ADDRESS> and ask it what is www.ubuntu.com and it tells you that www.ubuntu.com is <IP_ADDRESS> a bit like a phone book
[00:52] <escott> pc_, you can use dd to copy from /dev/zero
[00:52] <pc_> ok
[00:52] <pc_> thanks
[00:53] <Poindexter_> Escott I think I am missing something in my thinking about the VMBox. I was told to: attach the ISO to the VM's virtual optical drive, start the VM, and the install process would start. Should have I done this when I first created the VM Shell for Ubuntu. It seems like I am doing this as an after thought.
[00:54] <escott> Poindexter_, you can pretty much attach it whenever. verify the boot order of the vm
[00:55] <Poindexter_> Escott, this is brand new to me. Please give me a hint on howto?
[00:56] <eb3ha4el> escott: yes I understand DNS is a kind of system providing translation from verbal language into numerical value but isn't that numerival value trasnlated from domain name, an IP address?
[00:57] <escott> Poindexter_, settings -> system -> motherboard tab center box is boot order
[00:58] <gilead> hi! in 11.04 the mouse wheel zoom in/out direction is reversed in Nautilus -- I hope there's a switch somewhere to bring it back to the usual behaviour? But where...?
[00:58] <escott> eb3ha4el, yes it is, but you need to know who to call for directory assistance. imagine you were in the us and asked what the phone number for the police was and I said "I don't know, call directory assistance" it wouldn't be very helpful. I need to tell you that directory assistance is 411 to be at all helpful. that 203 number is the analog of directory assistance
[00:59] <escott> gilead, check gconf-editor
[01:00] <Poindexter_> Escott, I found it and it is CD/DVD and I clicked OK.
[01:01] <Poindexter_> The VirtualBox is in shutdown mode.
[01:01] <Faethin> Hi. Whenever I run SYBYL-X (Chemical simulation software) I get the error message "undefined symbol glColorTableEXT"
[01:02] <Faethin> "undefined symbol glColorTableEXT" <---- what does that mean?
[01:02] <escott> Faethin, your opengl driver doesnt support GL Color Tables
[01:02] <Poindexter_> Escott, do I need to reboot Windows for this to work?
[01:02] <escott> Poindexter_, no you shouldn't
[01:02] <gilead> no luck so far in gconf-editor... :/
[01:03] <Faethin> escott, is there a way of fixing that? :|
[01:03] <Poindexter_> The Ubuntu shell is created.
[01:03] <Poindexter_> It seems it is waiting for something to be put there.
[01:03] <escott> Poindexter_, if the iso is attached to the the cd/dvd of the vm, and the cd/dvd is before the virtual hard drive the installer should start
[01:03] <Poindexter_> I allocated about 20 gigs for it.
[01:04] <indicator> Hello. I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 x64 on my Thinkpad T520. I am using discrete graphics and have OS detection turned off in the BIOS. Any time I boot linux now, it either freezes at a purple grub screen (no text), or freezes after logging in (via GDM)
[01:04] <indicator> I'm using NVidia current drivers, but that doesn't seem to matter
[01:04] <escott> Faethin, your could try a different opengl implementation
[01:04] <Poindexter_> Escott, thanks. I will arduously work on this. I will let you know what happens.
[01:05] <Faethin> escott, Excuse me, I forgot to raise the n00b flag. How can I do that?
[01:05] <YankDownUnder> indicator, Um, I'll assume you've gone back into BIOS and turned on OS detection?
[01:06] <escott> Poindexter_, its hard to say what is wrong without seeing something. if you want to post screenshots or send me your vm config I can look at it
[01:06] <escott> Faethin, what kind of video card do you have
[01:06] <indicator> YankDownUnder, No, I turned it off, as turning it on turns optimus back on and I'll no longer be using the nvidia video card.
[01:07] <MK``> how can I edit the number and arrangement of workspaces in Unity?
[01:07] <Faethin> escott, ATI technologies Inc M860G mobility radeon
[01:08] <Poindexter_> Thanks Escott, I appreciate that. I will venture on but you opened up the light to the next step. Thanks.
[01:08] <YankDownUnder> indicator, have you tried getting int Ubu via "recovery mode" in the Grub2 submenu?
[01:08] <YankDownUnder> indicator, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[01:08] <Faethin> escott, I'm currently using the ATI/AMD prop FGLRX graphics driver
[01:08] <brownbox> urgh, so I set up ftp access to my ubuntu machine, but I can't cut and paste using windows explorer
[01:08] <indicator> YankDownUnder, no, I just switch back to using the integrated video card
[01:08] <escott> Faethin, you could try the radeonhd it might support more gl extensions, but it would be slower
[01:09] <lolo> logoff
[01:09] <Faethin> escott, is that on synaptic?
[01:09] <Faethin> escott, nope, it's not
[01:10] <escott> Faethin, you would need to disable the fglrx and install radeonhd. i wouldn't recommend this unless you absolutely MUST have this program working
[01:10] <robin0800> brownbox, seems you don't have read/write access only read
[01:10] <YankDownUnder> indicator, Hmmm...got me buggered on that - however, I'm thinking that the switching between vid cards is freaking out the 11.04 install...but have you tried going into recovery mode via the grub2 submen mate?
[01:11] <Faethin> escott, Well, yes I must have it. But perhaps there are other options, considering this one seems to be rather extreme
[01:11] <gilead> ok, I went through all 'nautilus', 'zoom' and 'wheel' entries and found nothing :( thanks escott, that was worth a try :)
[01:12] <brownbox> robin0800: I can read and write
[01:12] <MK``> Hey I just decided to try Unity and I have a number of questions: How can I edit the number and arrangement of workspaces in Unity? I need more than 4. And, how can I add shortcuts to the menu?
[01:12] <brownbox> I'm trying to move files around
[01:12] <tensorpudding> MK``: you're going to want to install compiz config settings manager
[01:12] <quickslvr> Hi,
[01:12] <brownbox> I can cut, but not paste
[01:13] <kiichiro> how do I use a windows .bat on xubuntuy
[01:13] <indicator> YankDownUnder, what? No... Xorg will determine which video card I'm using and start-up using the respective driver (intel or nvidia).  However, whenever using nvidia, chances are always dicey, though GDM never goes through without freezing. RecoveryMode is completely irrelivent if I can access everything using strictly intel integrated graphics. I've tried feeding 192MB of memory to the video frame buffer, but even still,
[01:13] <indicator> it's dicey
[01:13] <tensorpudding> MK``: and read http://askubuntu.com/questions/29553/how-can-i-configure-unity
[01:13] <kiichiro> xubuntu*
[01:13] <tensorpudding> how do you add ubottu factoids...
[01:13] <robin0800> brownbox, if thats true cut and paste should work
[01:13] <tensorpudding> there really needs to be one that links to that page
[01:13] <quickslvr> I am trying to set my default monitor but i cannot find the xorg.conf.
[01:13] <escott> Faethin, you might try recompiling the program and commenting out the glColorTableExt references
[01:13] <brownbox> I'm logged in from windows explorer to vsftpd
[01:14] <rww> tensorpudding: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins#Adding_a_factoid
[01:14] <robin0800> quickslvr, there may not be one
[01:14] <brownbox> I can create new folders
[01:14] <hv> There used to be a patch called the "rt" patch, maintained by Ingo Molnar that added realtime capabilities to the linux kernel. Is it available in ubuntu?
[01:14] <rww> tensorpudding: as you don't have an ubottu editor account, any factoid edits you make will be forwarded to #ubuntu-ops for review, btw
[01:14] <Faethin> escott, that's beyond my ability. The program came with an installer and I didn't see any options that permitted a re-compiling.
[01:14] <tensorpudding> rww: well, fine with me
[01:14] <szal> eb3ha4el: sorry for taking so long..  -> http://tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/networking.html <- collection of networking howtos from The Linux Documentation Project
[01:14] <tensorpudding> !unity
[01:15] <quickslvr> robin0800: May i ask how i can set my default monitor?
[01:15] <Faethin> escott, the exact error message is "/home/tripos/sybyl-x12/lib/linux/libmolcadplus.so: undefined symbol glColorTableEXT"
[01:16] <ImDexter> is there any shortcut to copy a user name in xchat?
[01:16] <ImDexter> to send a highlighted message
[01:16] <szal> ImDexter: start typing the nick, then press Tab
[01:16] <Faethin> escott, it makes reference to the libmolcadplus library (whatever that is)
[01:16] <robin0800> quickslvr, can you not use the monitor application
[01:16] <Faethin> escott, I tried googling for that library and I got 0 results ;_;
[01:17] <ImDexter> s
[01:17] <brownbox> I can upload files from an ftp client, but can't drag and drop in windows explorer
[01:17] <Poindexter_> Escott the error message opened up in a dos prompt stating:  No bootable medium found. System halted.
[01:17] <Phosphenes> Bill Gates is the greatest man alive!
[01:18] <indicator> Why?
[01:18] <Phosphenes> For Windows Vista of course
[01:18] <hv> !troll
[01:18] <Phosphenes> What a great OS
[01:18] <jtannenbaum> I can restart Compiz without everything dying and shutting down, right? How would I do that?
[01:18] <quickslvr> robin0800: yes i can but the default monitor is currently set to my 17¨ monitor and i can´t seems to change it to the 22" monitor.
[01:18] <jtannenbaum> I'm on 10.10 I think
[01:18] <jtannenbaum> .04 rather
[01:18] <escott> Faethin, its because your libGL doesn't have glColorTableEXT. you could write a small c program that implements a non-functional version of glColorTableEXT and LD_PRELOAD that, but there isn't anything easy you can do
[01:19] <rjr> hello
[01:19] <escott> Poindexter_, something is not right with your iso or your vm config
[01:19] <Poindexter_> Escott I found this though:   http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/495
[01:19] <rjr> i need some help mounting a share filed system from an ubuntu guest  to a windows 7 host in virtualbox.  /sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Protocol error is the error i am receiving after running sudo mount -t vboxsf F_DRIVE windows7share
[01:20] <Faethin> escott, thanks a lot for your time
[01:20] <quickslvr> robin0800: I did some research and apparently I can modify the setting in xorg.conf but that file does not exist in /etc/x11
[01:20] <robin0800> quickslvr, there is nothing stopping you adding an xorg.conf file
[01:20] <Faethin> escott, I'll contact the higher-ups at the Uni and let them know about this mess
[01:23] <Poindexter_> Escott would that be under:   "Snapshot Folder"?
[01:23] <Poindexter_> Is that where the ISO is?
[01:23] <kneaux> Anyone know how to rip from multiple cdrom devices simultaneously? Like a program that will allow me to select one? Ability to rip to FLAC & tag would also be preferred...
[01:24] <quickslvr> robin0800: must i create ¨xorg.conf¨ from scratch?
[01:24] <escott> Poindexter_, the iso is wherever you downloaded it
[01:24] <Poindexter_> The ISO is on a CD disk.
[01:25] <MK``> My Unity top bar turned black and I can't see anything, how can I get it to reload? All I did was enable SVG support... when I disabled it it didn't revert :(
[01:25] <escott> Poindexter_, ok you already burned the cd. it would be substantially faster to install from an iso file image. just download it from ubuntu.com and set the file as the cd drive
[01:25] <rjr> i need some help mounting a share filed system from an ubuntu guest  to a windows 7 host in virtualbox.  /sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Protocol error is the error i am receiving after running sudo mount -t vboxsf F_DRIVE windows7share
[01:26] <escott> Poindexter_, if you burned the cd then you have to worry about things like "did I burn it correctly" and its slower because cds are slow
[01:26] <kiichiro> hey question, trying to get into a folder on my desktop called minecraft server and I typed in the command prompt cd ~/Desktop/minecraft_server/ and syas no such directory
[01:26] <robin0800> quickslvr, create a new file name it xorg.conf copy and paste info from your research into it copy it to /etc/x11 and reboot
[01:28] <Poindexter_> Escott, I have installed Ubuntu with the disk so I know that the disk is OK.
[01:28] <kiichiro> okay how does one run a .jar?
  use cd ~/Desktop/min then hit tab and it wil lauto complete
[01:29] <MK``> Now Unity closed when I enabled desktop cube... how can I turn Unity back on?
[01:29] <ghostnik11> hi, i wanted to know how i could get a sony camcorder to work with my ubuntu 11.04 laptop, as i plug in the usb cord to camcorder then computer but can't get the videos off the camcorder dvd
[01:30] <kiichiro> ghostnik11, you might need a driver for it, try checking the manufacturers website and they "might" have one
[01:30] <ghostnik11> kiichiro: cool will check right now, thanks
[01:30] <rileyp> kiichiro> okay how does one run a .jar this is ubuntu support not a how to fix anything channel
[01:30] <YankDownUnder> ghostnik11, Have you tried to mount it - as a storage device?
[01:30] <paronimiun> http://paronirium.blogspot.com/ and ty
[01:30] <MK``> is there a Unity channel I can join to get more help?
[01:31] <paronimiun> oops, sorry, ms priv
[01:31] <kiichiro> sorry just new to ubuntu, if it was xp I'd know
[01:31] <ghostnik11> yankdownunder: when i mount it, it comes up as a blank dvd, and i know content is on it, b/c i recorder stuff on the dvd, it can't be blank
 are you using software or hope to just see the dvd drive?
[01:32] <harushimo> is there a way to upgrade the python compiler
[01:32] <robin0800> rileyp, make sure java is installed make file executable double click file
[01:32] <harushimo> O
[01:32] <YankDownUnder> ghostnik11, So you're able to mount the cam as a device, coolbeans - what if you change the settings for nautilus to "view hidden files" - do you see anything?
[01:32] <harushimo> i'm running python 2.6.5 and I want to upgrade it
[01:33] <rileyp> ghostnik11,  so the format on the dvd is not recognised you have medibuntu repo installed
[01:33] <ghostnik11> yankdownunder: how would i go about getting to see the hidden files, through nautilus, i think the command has something to do with sudo gedit
[01:33] <YankDownUnder> ghostnik11, ctrl + h
[01:33] <Barridus> <3 pei mei
[01:34] <ghostnik11> yankdownunder: okay will plug it back in right now and do ctrl + h to see hidden files, thanks
[01:36] <ballball87> I have a question. I have ubuntu server and booting over PXE however it only wants to use the phsyical cdrom as the location of installation media. How can I tell it to install over the net or perhaps find the CD somewhere on my local network? Can I pass nfs or http on the command line?
[01:36] <cipher> what's the latest possible "start on" stanza I could use to start a process with upstart
[01:37] <lduros> hi, i'm trying to use nmap to find one of my computer on my home network, and instead of getting something with an ip like: Host <IP_ADDRESS> is up (0.0099s latency).  I only get Host is up (0.00018s latency).
[01:37] <harushimo> does ubuntu have the current version on python in the repos? I mean 3 something
[01:37] <lduros> what am I doing wrong? I'm using nmap -sP
[01:37] <lduros> harushimo: sudo apt-get install python3 ?
[01:38] <lduros> harushimo: for more info: aptitude show python3
[01:38] <harushimo> thank you
[01:38] <harushimo> I need it for my class
[01:39] <ghostnik11> yankdownunder, rileyp, ctrl + h showed nothing for mounting camcorder as storage will try mediubuntu as rileyp sugested
[01:39] <eliotn> hey dawg, I heard you like ubuntu, so I put a ubuntu in your ubuntu so you can run linux while you run linux
[01:39] <fen> Ok, im officially at a loss, anyone have any idea of what ties up a disk device (already mounted or <mountpoint> in use), doesn't show up in lsof or fuser and isn't dmraid.
[01:40] <ActionParsnip> !info python3  | harushimo
[01:40] <robin0800> ghostnik11, when you plug in camcorder does something come up ons its screen for connection method
[01:41] <kiichiro> ghostnik11, is it an older webcam?
[01:42] <harushimo> how come python 3 doesn't upgrade the intrepter? still shows up python 2.6.5? what is the correct command to get python 3
[01:42] <fructose> When I installed the new Ubuntu, various software was listed as "available for install" or something like that. Now, those NEVER show. How do I get those back?
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> fructose: you can install apps using software centre
[01:42] <trism> harushimo: many programs in ubuntu use python and they are not upgraded to python3 yet, so it is really not a good idea to change the default, best to specify python3 if you need it
[01:43] <fructose> ActionParsnip: I know... not what I was asking about
[01:43] <ghostnik11> robin0800: yeah gives me two options one that has usb and other that has computer disc, i just chose usb option to see if it will load as usb, but it still says connecting on camcorder screen
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> fructose: or do you mean updates?
[01:43] <harushimo> oh okay
[01:43] <fructose> ActionParsnip: Neither
[01:43] <fructose> ActionParsnip: Don't think my question was misworded
[01:43] <fen> anyone got an idea on the tied up disk device?
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> fructose: well "available for install" is everything you can find in software centre, isn't it?
[01:44] <fructose> ActionParsnip: I'm talking about 10.04
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> fructose: its the same in any release
[01:44] <fructose> ActionParsnip: 10.04 is unity
[01:44] <fructose> ActionParsnip: When you search for anything through unity, right after install, it would also mention packages available for install
[01:44] <rileyp> ghostnik11, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 work through that
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> fructose: no, 10.04 is Lucid
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> fructose: unity is merely a shell
[01:45] <fructose> ActionParsnip: 11.04, sorry
[01:45] <MK``> Well, forget unity for now. Just going to use gnome shell until it is stable enough
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> fructose: 11.04 is natty, not unity
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> fructose: unity is a default installed shell in Natty
[01:46] <fructose> ActionParsnip: Admitted "is" was ambiguous, but I was referring to the desktop environment... as opposed to Gnome
[01:46] <ActionParsnip> fructose: you can run unity on any desktop, it runs on top of gnome
[01:47] <ActionParsnip> fructose: you can run KDE and install unity shell
[01:47] <fructose> ActionParsnip: So then clearly you know to what I'm referring to and there's no need to search any longer
[01:47] <quickslvr> cd
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> fructose: no all I know is that there was something "available to install" but every logical thing it can mean, you have said it isn't
[01:48] <rypervenche> How can I enable all of the repositories in Xubuntu?
[01:48] <MK``> *gnome 2 sorry
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> rypervenche: uncomment the lines for the repos in /etc/apt/sources.list   is one way
[01:49] <mtec007> im having a bit of bad luck. im running natty, installed virtualbox 4.0 and now its telling me i need kernel headers <IP_ADDRESS>+
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> fructose: can you explain what you mean and we may be able to advise
[01:49] <rypervenche> ActionParsnip: Ok, wasn't sure if they were already there uncommented or not (not on the box, for a friend)
[01:49] <fen> rypervenche: edit /etc/init.d/sources.list if your ok with getting your hands dirty.
[01:49] <fructose> ActionParsnip: Unity, again, is what I'm referring to
[01:49] <mtec007> how do i get those kernel headers?
[01:49] <fen> wait lol. init.d
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> fructose: ok so you want unity? you don't want unity?
[01:49] <rileyp> rypervenche,  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 for all sound and multimedia
[01:49] <fen> what?
[01:50] <rypervenche> rileyp: Thank you.
[01:50] <fructose> ActionParsnip: What do you call the component of unity that lets you search for applications?
[01:50] <rww> ActionParsnip: Unity's application launcher shows software available for install. fructose likes this feature. It stopped working and now their computer doesn't show it.
[01:50] <MK``> Dash
[01:51] <fructose> rww: Yes, thank you
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> fructose: dash
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> fructose: how do you get from "available to install" to dash?
[01:51] <rileyp> rypervenche> no porbs
[01:51] <rileyp> probs
[01:51] <fructose> ActionParsnip: I don't. You said dash
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> "fructose> ActionParsnip: What do you call the component of unity that lets you search for applications?
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> fructose: ^ that is dash
[01:52] <rww> ActionParsnip: that component has a list of software you can install.
[01:53] <mtec007> im having a bit of bad luck. im running natty, installed virtualbox 4.0 and now its telling me i need kernel headers <IP_ADDRESS>+  my question is where do i get those headers from? it doesnt appear to be in apt-get repository.
[01:53] <robin0800> rww, only a small fraction of what the software centre has
[01:53] <rww> robin0800: I'm aware.
[01:53] <fructose> ActionParsnip: Exactly. I could search for, say, "image editor" and relevant software would come up
[01:53] <rww> mtec007: I think the package name is linux-headers-somethingorother
[01:53] <fructose> Even if it wasn't already installed
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> rww: funky
[01:53] <fructose> And it was listed under the header "Available for Install" or something close
[01:54] <mtec007> rww: yes, but the <IP_ADDRESS>+ has no headers in there
[01:54] <fructose> And now that never happens
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> fructose: why not just use software centre? That's what that app is for...
[01:54] <fructose> ActionParsnip: Less convenient
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> fructose: but having to ask this channel what you are chasing is?
[01:55] <rww> ActionParsnip: If you don't know the answer to the question, please feel free to not answer it :|
[01:55] <fructose> ActionParsnip: I figured most people would be familiar with it, as it was an advertised feature of Unity/dash
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> rww: oh i do, i'm just curious of the thought process
[01:56] <fen> Ok, im officially at a loss, anyone have any idea of what ties up a disk device (already mounted or <mountpoint> in use), doesn't show up in lsof or fuser and isn't dmraid.
[01:56] <rww> mtec007: It should do, they appear to be in the repositories. Have you run "sudo apt-get update" recently?
[01:56] <UbuntuQ> Hello there
[01:57] <mtec007> yes, and i just installed natty in hopes it would show up. it didnt.

[02:03] <NictraSavios> ActionParsnip, I need to know what the GUI is called. Not the terminal.
[02:03] <kiffa> it has dual boot thing grub or something
[02:03] <kiffa> and it is freaking me out i want it gone
[02:03] <kneaux> Nickkkkk, i'm not sure if brasero does ripping.
[02:04] <kiffa> i should never had let them install ubuntu it is free and open
[02:04] <ActionParsnip> kiffa: if you go into add/remove programs (or programs and features in vista / win7) do you see wubi?
[02:04] <kiffa> and it works no it does not work
[02:04] <kiffa> at all
[02:04] <kneaux> Nickkkkk, at least i can't find anything to rip with in brasero
[02:04] <ActionParsnip> NictraSavios: why would you need anything else?
[02:04] <ActionParsnip> kiffa: that is moot now
[02:04] <kiffa> then it must be an old
[02:04] <Nickkkkk> Oh :c
[02:04] <NictraSavios> ActionParsnip, Becuase Its ubuntu, You guys love the GUI.
[02:04] <kiffa> installation
[02:04] <rww> kiffa: ease up on the enter key, please.
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> NictraSavios: not here
[02:05] <bezao> hi, i have done apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, and do-release-upgrade, and now i'm gettin this error when my ubuntu is restarted, -> http://www.image-share.com/ipng-716-88.html <- i did waited it for complete the installation! * yes i was using mono project. it also had been upgraded too, can i recover my ubuntu?
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> kiffa: do you see it in the add/remove programs. Yes or no?
[02:05] <NictraSavios> ActionParsnip,I need to know because Ive never liked another ssh GUI. and for something like this, command line is over kill.
[02:05] <UbuntuQ> How can I speed up Ubuntu 10.10 system?
[02:05] <kneaux> so. Anyone? Ripping program that allows you to select a drive?
[02:05] <kiffa> no action parshnip
[02:05] <kiffa> but can i remove it without removing windows
[02:05] <kiffa> and it will still work properly
[02:06] <NictraSavios> ActionParsnip, Now, may you please awnser my question, not tell me an awnser i wasent looking for :/
[02:06] <kiffa> else i will just have to reformat everything i guess
[02:06] <kiffa> omg
[02:06] <NictraSavios> kiffa, Just remove windows.
[02:06] <kiffa> these kids today with their ballony and strange programs
[02:06] <kiffa> i need windows for my work
[02:06] <ballball87> I have a question. I have ubuntu server and booting over PXE however it only wants to use the phsyical cdrom as the location of installation media. How can I tell it to install over the net or perhaps find the CD somewhere on my local network? Can I pass nfs or http on the command line?
[02:06] <kiffa> they will fire me
[02:06] <NictraSavios> kiffa, Trolling can be done on any OS.
[02:06] <accel> where can I get a list of wireless usb adapters that work with ubuntu 10.10 ?
[02:06] <kiffa> i am an accountant
[02:06] <kiffa> and these programs have license to work with windows
[02:06] <kiffa> and windows only
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> NictraSavios: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/gnome-connection-manager-tabbed-ssh-connection-manager-for-gtk-environments.html
[02:07] <NictraSavios> kiffa, Libre office. Better then open office.
[02:07] <accel> where can I get a list of wireless usb adapters that work with ubuntu 10.10 ? [my irc client scrolls fast; please pm me if you have a link]
[02:07] <kiffa> these accountanting programs don't work with ubuntu
[02:07] <kiffa> you see
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> kiffa: until you answer, we cannot help. Your choice
[02:07] <kiffa> answer what ActionParsnip i missed your question ?
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> kiffa: all that text has zero value
[02:07] <soapie> RudeParsnip
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> kiffa: maybe if you weren't typing so much worthless text and actually read the screen you wouldn't have missed it
[02:08] <kiffa> ok then why doesn't the accountant program not working on ubuntu
[02:08] <kiffa> i can't work the companies data now because of this
[02:08] <soapie> :p
[02:08] <kiffa> and i need reformat or delete ubuntu
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> kiffa: if you run add/remove programs in windows, do you see wubi?
[02:08] <NictraSavios> kiffa, ActionParsnip That dosent look like the one in ubuntu.
[02:08] <kiffa> the program is called accountview for accountanting
[02:08] <kiffa> ActionParsnip no i already said i don't see wubi anywhere
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> kiffa: again, that is of zero value
[02:09] <bezao> hi, i have done apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, and do-release-upgrade, and now i'm gettin this error when my ubuntu is restarted, -> http://www.image-share.com/ipng-716-88.html <- i did waited it for complete the installation! * yes i was using mono project. it also had been upgraded too, can i recover my ubuntu?
[02:09] <rinkukokiri> allright.. I got this sandisk usb drive i'm trying to install a live ubuntu on
[02:09] <ActionParsnip> kiffa: ok then if you use disk manager in windows, do you see the partitions ubuntu is installed to?
[02:09] <Nickkkkk> Can any of you guys help me install screenlets?
[02:09] <rinkukokiri> actuallly... i got 3 of em
[02:09] <kiffa> yes
[02:09] <rinkukokiri> none of em will take the live install
[02:09] <kiffa> i see that ActionParsnip
[02:09] <edbian> Nickkkkk: sudo apt-get install screenlets   ?
[02:09] <quickslvr> robin0800: got it working!
[02:09] <rinkukokiri> my memorex does... but I want it on a specific disk
[02:09] <YankDownUnder> kiffa, Quasar Accounting is quite nice (has linux, mac and windows client programs)
[02:09] <kiffa> yes but my boss wont find it that nice
[02:10] <quickslvr> robin0800: modified the monitors.xml and set the 22¨ to primary. :)
[02:10] <Nickkkkk> oh.
[02:10] <NictraSavios> kiffa, I doubt he cares, as long as you get your work done.
[02:10] <ActionParsnip> kiffa: ok then if you delete those and make a new partition in NTFS, yo can reuse the space. You WILL need to boot to your windows install CD and reinstate the windows bootloader or your system will not come back up when you next reboot or shutdown
[02:10] <kiffa> since my boss pays to use this internet accounts for accountview
[02:10] <kiffa> and he needs the databases for it
[02:10] <ActionParsnip> kiffa: your boss is of no interest here
[02:10] <kiffa> and the tax databases
[02:10] <rinkukokiri> Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0781:5530 SanDisk Corp. <<< will NOT take a live install  anyone help??
[02:10] <kiffa> the guy is 50 he can't change systems
[02:10] <NictraSavios> For the love of god. Mute the troll.
[02:10] <kiffa> he has hard time understanding this one
[02:11] <kiffa> but i will check quasar out
[02:11] <kiffa> it might be real good and i could use it for friend accountanting i guess
[02:11] <bezao> hi, i have done apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, and do-release-upgrade, and now i'm gettin this error when my ubuntu is restarted, -> http://www.image-share.com/ipng-716-88.html <- i did waited it for complete the installation! * yes i was using mono project. it also had been upgraded too, can i recover my ubuntu?
[02:11] <ActionParsnip> kiffa: if you keep prattling on about all this useless infprmation you will be ignored by me. I have told you time and time again, we simply don't care
[02:11] <kiffa> does it hold dutch tax laws ect in it YankDownUnder ?
[02:11] <UbuntuQ> Any on knows what to use to speed up the Ubuntu 10.10 and keeps it stable?!
[02:11] <rww> kiffa: Your enthusiasm for the enter key and irrelevant detail is getting a little tiresome. Please consider focusing and putting more than ten words on a line.
[02:12] <ActionParsnip> kiffa: all the info you insist on typing doesn't help us help you andI am having to repeatedly tell you this
[02:12] <NictraSavios> !troll
[02:12] <Nickkkkk> Thank you edbian :D
[02:12] <Nickkkkk> <3
[02:12] <kiffa> are you mocking me or are you willing to help me i am still trying to find out ?
[02:12] <flynn> UbuntuQ, Short of buying more memory and/or faster processor?
[02:12] <ActionParsnip> kiffa: do you want rid of Ubuntu?
[02:12] <kiffa> o the generations has changed so much
[02:12] <rinkukokiri> wow.. so i unplug it and get the blinking capslock light of doom
[02:12] <bezao> hi, i have done apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, and do-release-upgrade, and now i'm gettin this error when my ubuntu is restarted, -> http://www.image-share.com/ipng-716-88.html <- i did waited it for complete the installation! * yes i was using mono project. it also had been upgraded too, can i recover my ubuntu?
[02:13] <YankDownUnder> kiffa, I'm not an accountant, however, I've migrated folks to using it here in Australia
[02:13] <kiffa> depends if i have a good accountanting program for it i could maybe use it for fun
[02:13] <kiffa> but i still want the partition it is on smaller if that could be done
[02:13] <NictraSavios> !wait | bezao
[02:13] <rinkukokiri> !live
[02:13] <rinkukokiri> !usb
[02:13] <UbuntuQ> Ok do I need to make Swap, and what is it for?! And does it do anything to the speed?!
[02:13] <rileyp> kiffa, I'm not an accountant, nor a rocket scientist but you are pain in the .ss hitting enter all the time and posting crud
[02:14] <ActionParsnip> kiffa: you can resize the partitions in ubuntu liveCD. If you use win7 then you can resize the NTFS after you shrink your ubuntu partitions
[02:14] <rinkukokiri> hrm.. So this Sandisk does NOT have u3 on it, in fact it isn't even u3 capable but when i try to install the live installation to it... i get "missing operating system" at boot time
[02:14] <edbian> UbuntuQ: You need a swap.  It is used for storage space when ram is full.  When the system starts using swap it is noticably slower.  Howerver it is much faster than the performance you get when no swap is available at all
[02:15] <rww> !swap | UbuntuQ
[02:15] <Hilikus> is there a different flash player available than the closed-source one? it is not working well with mythtv and i want to try another one
[02:15] <SnowCrash> My gnome desktop is completely unusable. Compiz is running at 101% of CPU and ignores kill, and killall. If any of you can help, I'd really appreciate it.
[02:15] <UbuntuQ> Hmm, that's so intersting!!
[02:15] <szal> !gnash | Hilikus
[02:16] <edbian> SnowCrash: kill -9 <compiz pid>
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> Hilikus: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/flash-alternative-lightspark-0-4-5-released/
[02:16] <SnowCrash> Thanks, edbian, what's the significance of the -9 option?
[02:16] <edbian> Hilikus: It is noticibly less complete the the proprietary flash unfortunately :(
[02:16] <flynn> I have Ubuntu 10.10 desktop.  How can I get rid of the opera icon on my panel?  (When opera is running)  I tried a fix I found from googling it ,but it didn't work.
[02:17] <UbuntuQ> rww Swap is a partition you make for Ubuntu, and I didn't make it, because I didn't know what it was for.
[02:17] <Hilikus> edbian: i just want to play videos in fullscreen. with the official one the video plays but in fullscreen mode it freezes the UI
[02:17] <basix> can somebody please route me to the appropriate channel so that this bug gets some attention and is triaged quickly? https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/791660
[02:17] <edbian> SnowCrash: kill -9 cannot be blocked by the application.
[02:17] <rww> UbuntuQ: I know what swap is.
[02:17] <edbian> Hilikus: Have you tried playing them using vlc?  (That's what I do, much better performance).  I'm not sure that gnash would be bad at this.  It might be quite good as well.
[02:17] <UbuntuQ> Oh, ok.
[02:18] <Hilikus> edbian: no, i don't know how to find the actual URL for the video to use in vlc
[02:18] <rinkukokiri> hrm.. So this Sandisk does NOT have u3 on it, in fact it isn't even u3 capable but when i try to install the live installation to it... i get "missing operating system" at boot time
[02:18] <saeth> i cant seem to figure out how to remove unknown  charecters from a file and leave only charecters that are on the keyboard. if someone could point me in the right direction it would be most appricated.
[02:18] <edbian> Hilikus: Flash used to dump temp files into /tmp  but I think they changed the location.  Hang on
[02:18] <szal> basix: if it's your bug, you might wanna have given it a more sensible title
[02:19] <bezao> hi, i have done apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, and do-release-upgrade, and now i'm gettin this error when my ubuntu is restarted, -> http://www.image-share.com/ipng-716-88.html <- i did waited it for complete the installation! * yes i was using mono project. it also had been upgraded too, can i recover my ubuntu?
[02:19] <SnowCrash> edbian: Thanks. That's wild; I got a better result, but compiz pops back up with a new PID in an instant, and uses just as much CPU.
[02:19] <edbian> SnowCrash: metacity --replace&
[02:19] <edbian> SnowCrash: That turns compiz off.
[02:20] <rinkukokiri> Can anyone tell me why i can't install a Ubuntu live onto my sandisk NON U3 usb drive??
[02:20] <basix> szal, It's not my bug but I am affected by it.
[02:20] <flynn> I have Ubuntu 10.10 desktop.  How can I get rid of the opera icon on my panel?  (When opera is running)  I tried a fix I found from googling it ,but it didn't work.
[02:20] <SnowCrash> rinkukokiri, is your usb drive otherwise functional?
[02:20] <basix> rinkukokiri, what do u mean that you cannot install? Elaborate please.
[02:21] <szal> !patience | flynn
[02:21] <rinkukokiri> SnowCrash, yes
[02:21] <edbian> Hilikus: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/saving-flash-videos-in-linux-tmp-no-longer-works/
[02:21] <edbian> Hilikus: You can play them there with vlc.  It's annoying they're not longer in /tmp
[02:21] <SnowCrash> flynn you want to hide panel object indicating that opera's running?
[02:21] <jon8> whwhen adding iptable entries it resolves the ip to domain names.. even if domain names aren't even real.. how can force iptables to only care/store the actual ip address for the rule?
[02:21] <rinkukokiri> basix, i use unetbootin to drop the ISO onto the drive.. reboot, hit esc, select the sandisk, result: "missing operating system"
[02:22] <flynn> SnowCrash, Yeah, or just have it not be there.
[02:23] <rinkukokiri> basix, and sudo u3-tool -i /dev/sdb == u3_partition_info() failed: Device reported command failed: status 1
[02:23] <BeBo> hi to all
[02:23] <rinkukokiri> so it's not even u3 capable
[02:23] <BeBo> i need help in ubuntu 11.04 about wireless
[02:24] <basix> rinkukokiri, what version of unetbootin are you using and are you sure you're booting off the right device?
[02:25] <robin0800> rinkukokiri, you can't drop an ISO on a drive you have to install it and a boot-loader
[02:25] <SnowCrash> edbian, is --replace supposed to affect the manager on another X display?
[02:25] <rinkukokiri> basix whichever is in the repos, and yes
[02:25] <edbian> SnowCrash: It is supposed to affect the window manager on the display on which you ran the command.  (unless you specify --display :10.0 or something)
[02:25] <basix> rinkukokiri, did you try another distribution?
[02:25] <rinkukokiri> !unetbootin | robin
[02:25] <basix> robin0800, rinkukokiri is using unetbootin
[02:26] <qin> rinkukokiri: You cannot install or boot?
[02:26] <rinkukokiri> basix, actually, yes i've tried backtrack and ubuntu  11.04
[02:26] <SnowCrash> edbian: gotcha.
[02:26] <basix> rinkukokiri, and both dont work?
[02:26] <rinkukokiri> both result in the same problem
[02:26] <html-inprogress> hi
[02:26] <edbian> SnowCrash: sure :)
[02:26] <BeBo> hallo any one here know how to fix wireless proplem in ubnutu 11.04
[02:26] <Logan_> !wireless | BeBo
[02:27] <rinkukokiri> basix, back in 10.04 or 9.10 (one of em, i think both actually) worked off these same disks though
[02:27] <edbian> BeBo: What card do you have?
[02:27] <szal> rinkukokiri: rumour has it that you can just dd the 11.04 live CDs to the USB pen
[02:28] <F3ar> Is anyone using 11.10 yet?
[02:28] <qin> rinkukokiri: I mean some SanDisk usb have "cd-like" extra safety, so there are NOT-bootable (unless you will remove half of the USB board)
[02:28] <szal> F3ar: -> #ubuntu+1
[02:28] <basix> rinkukokiri, can you try those ISOs and check if you can in-fact create a live usb stick? I remember a while back i have 9.10 running and at some point unetbootin would not create a bootable usb stick of ubuntu 10.10 so i had to update unetbootin. But this may not be the case with you.
[02:28] <rinkukokiri> szal, i've had it work on my memorex, it's just these usb drives (two of em are u3 capable, one isn't, all three that don't work are sandisk)
[02:28] <bezao> can i startu ubuntu in 'safe mode'?
[02:28] <SnowCrash> edbian: That display syntax is a confusing me.  I've got 6 tty terminals, and the 7th has got gnome, but I don't know how to indicate/aim at that one. ":10.0"?
[02:29] <nimbiotics> I created an iso file with devede. Now I need to add some files to the iso;how do I do that, which software should I use? TIA!
[02:29] <rinkukokiri> that's the thing, I *can* create a live usb, i just already have one on my memorex, and want another on my sandisk
[02:29] <edbian> SnowCrash: The 7th tty holds the first X server instance.   So it's display :0.0     The second one might be :1.0 (perhaps on tty8) but usually programs jump to :10.0   It's rare you have more than one display server running at once.
[02:30] <BeBo> edbian : intel i think dell wireless 1395 wlan mini-card
[02:30] <rinkukokiri> lemmie make sure i didn't do a noobish mistake and forget to set the boot flag
[02:30] <edbian> SnowCrash: For example.  If you switch to tty1 and want to talk about the X server on tty7 you'd do --display :0.0
[02:30] <qin> rinkukokiri: lsusb (and google id for bootable), sudo fdisk -l (if there is something more that should)
[02:30] <rinkukokiri> LOLOLOL
[02:31] <Jeff_> can anyone help me with a dvd burning problem?
[02:31] <Corey> !anyone | Jeff_
[02:31] <rinkukokiri> yep, when i gparted it i forgot to check the box
[02:31]  * rinkukokiri is a noob
[02:31] <rinkukokiri> brb
[02:31] <Corey> rinkukokiri: That's how we learn.
[02:31] <edbian> BeBo: What is it called in the output of lspci ?
[02:31] <SnowCrash> edbian: Aaahhh.  So, the 'display server', that's the one running compiz, or metacity?
[02:31] <edbian> dork
[02:31] <edbian> SnowCrash: yes
[02:32] <BeBo> edbian : what is that ?
[02:32] <masahiro> how can i automatically start a terminal with a script to run in that window ?
[02:32] <edbian> BeBo: lspci is a command that lists hardware connected to your pc.  It is a command you run in the terminal
[02:33] <ActionParsnip> masahiro: run:  gnome-terminal -e command &     and it will spawn a new terminal
[02:33] <edbian> masahiro: -e /path/to/some/script
[02:33] <Jeff_> I am trying to burn a file to DVD that can be playable on DVD player,  File was created on windows live media 9...15 disks and 4 programs later no disk playable on DVD player....  11.04
[02:33] <masahiro> ok i'll try it :)
[02:33] <jeffreybaks> hi
[02:33] <masahiro> really cool it works :D
[02:33] <aleph-2> is it possible to "hC
[02:34] <nimbiotics> I created an iso file with devede. Now I need to add some files to the iso; how do I do that, which software should I use? TIA!
[02:34] <BeBo> edbian : sorry i now using ms windows 7 because i install ubuntu 10.10 because i need wireless
[02:34] <rinku> still nothing...
[02:34] <szal> !patience | nimbiotics
[02:34] <edbian> BeBo: You need to be running ubuntu to debug ubuntu
[02:34] <aleph-2> is it possible to "hack" gthumb to zoom using the scroll wheel?
[02:34] <edbian> BeBo: It is not a simple thing to fix unfortunately
[02:35] <rinkukokiri> still no go, lemmie try one more tiem
[02:35] <edbian> When I run gnome-terminal -e echo 'hello world'   the terminal opens and closes so quickly I can't read it!  What am I doing wrong?
[02:35] <SnowCrash> How do I view messages/multiple channels in Irssi?
[02:36] <szal> SnowCrash: -> #irssi
[02:36] <Jeff_> I am trying to burn a file to DVD that can be playable on DVD player,  File was created on windows live media 9...15 disks and 4 programs later no disk playable on DVD player....  11.04
[02:36] <qin> edbian: add "&& sleep 10 " to your command, without the quotes.
[02:36] <robin0800> Jeff_, whats the file extension ?
[02:36] <szal> !patience | Jeff_
[02:36] <BeBo> edbian : so i have to use ubuntu 10.10 until ubuntu 11.10 coming and i hope they will fix this proplem
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> Jeff_: burn it as slowly as possible, helps a lot
[02:36] <qin> edbian: Or use profile with setting to keep terminal open
[02:36] <edbian> BeBo: It probably can be fixed.  But you have to boot it in order to figure out how to fix it.
[02:37] <Jeff_> Robin...    .WMV
[02:37] <szal> Jeff_: does your DVD player support playing WMV?
[02:37] <edbian> qin: what setting is it in the profile?
[02:37] <robin0800> Jeff_, probably not supported on dvd player
[02:38] <rinkukokiri> heh
[02:38] <Jeff_> Szal....   ???   don't know....   it always worked just fine before
[02:38] <szal> Jeff_: consult its manual then
[02:38] <Jeff_> Robin,  how would I change file type?
[02:39] <Jeff_> to lets say .avi...
[02:39] <Nautilus> anyone care to help me update 8.04LTS's PHP to 5.2.16?  First time doing this.
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> Jeff_: you may need to use devede to make the wmv into a DVD ISO
[02:39] <edbian> qin: Found it.  Nevermind
[02:39] <qin> edbian: gnome-terminal > Edit > Profile Pref > (tab) Title & Command: When
[02:39] <qin> edbian: Nice
[02:39] <masahiro> how can i move this window that is stucked over the bar ? http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/5859/capturerc.png
[02:39] <edbian> qin: I see exit no longer works
[02:39] <BeBo> edbian : i tried to change kernel
[02:39] <edbian> BeBo: What card do you have listed in lspci ?
[02:40] <BeBo> edbian : and still not fixed
[02:40] <rww> masahiro: hold down the Alt key, and click-drag it.
[02:40] <Jeff_> Action,   when I open DeVeDe it wont find the file when I look in the folder it is in
[02:40] <edbian> qin: Now the terminal stays open but it does not have 'hello world' printed in it?
[02:40] <edbian> I have to use -x ?
[02:40] <masahiro> ok good thanks rww :)
[02:41] <qin> edbian: try add "&& sleep 10" and do not add "&" at the end.
[02:41] <DigitalSkin> how would i turn on wifi for a laptop
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> Jeff_: if you run:  file /path/to/filename    (change /path/to/filename     does it report what the file is and does it say it is the right sort of file?
[02:41] <BeBo> edbian : i told you i'm now using ms windows 7
[02:41] <robin0800> ActionParsnip, does DeVeDe support wmv ?
[02:41] <edbian> BeBo: and I told you.  You need to boot Ubuntu!
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> robin0800: possibly, not sure
[02:41] <SnowCrash> How does one view private messages / multiple channels in irssi?
[02:42] <edbian> qin: That's not helping.  gnome-terminal -x echo 'hello world' && echo 'yeah'
[02:42] <TSG> I like gnome3 on 11.04 a lot more than unity.
[02:42] <TSG> It feels and looks so much better.
[02:42] <trism> edbian: gnome-terminal -x bash -c 'echo "
[02:42] <qin> edbian: -e ?
[02:42] <Jeff_> Action, is that in the terminal?
[02:42] <SnowCrash> (sorry for duplicate question.  I crashed, of course.)
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> Jeff_: yes
[02:42] <trism> edbian: gnome-terminal -x bash -c 'echo "hello"; read -p "Press enter to continue"'
[02:42] <BeBo> edbian : ok but how i can conect to you throw here too
[02:42] <Jeff_> Action, let me try
[02:43] <rww> SnowCrash: http://www.princessleia.com/irssi.php
[02:43] <SnowCrash> rww: know a convenient command-line browser?
[02:43] <ActionParsnip> Jeff_: try hitting TAB after you type action ;)
[02:43] <rww> SnowCrash: w3m, it's installed by default in Ubuntu
[02:44] <edbian> trism: qin Got it.  Thank you!
[02:44] <masa> is there a way to avoid the terminal window being at the bar all the time ?
[02:44] <masa> i don't understand why it does that
[02:44] <edbian> BeBo: You'll have to go back and forth I'm afraid.  I suggest getting a second machine.  I have to go now though :(
[02:44] <SnowCrash> rww: grazie mille
[02:44] <rww> SnowCrash: or not, looks like they removed it in natty. But it's still good :)
[02:45] <qin> trism: Right, thanks
[02:45] <BeBo> edbian : ok,bye
[02:45] <Jeff_> ActionParsnip, sorry
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> Jeff_: np :)
[02:46] <SnowCrash> rww: Well, thanks for the URL.
[02:47] <|Anthony|> how do we restrict nautilus to show items only in $HOME
[02:47] <Poindexter_> Escott, VirtualBox works perfectly. Thanks for your input. What I did was delete all of the files I started with and started new and that's all she wrote.
[02:48] <Jeff_> ActionParsnip, in DeVeDe what video format would be best?  PAL/SECAM or NTSC?
[02:48] <dr_willis> Jeff_,  depends on what your tv's can show.
[02:48] <dr_willis> Jeff_,  USA  = ntsc
[02:48] <Jeff_> ActionParsnip, good point
[02:49] <Jeff_> ActionParsnip, what would be most common?
[02:49] <szal> |Anthony|: you don't..  unless you withdraw reading rights for anyone but owner and/or owner's user group
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> Jeff_: avi is far and away the most portable
[02:49] <Jeff_> dr_willis, thank you
[02:50] <eb3ha4el> is debian based linux the same except software installed? I mean I'm newbie and I really like ubuntu community and forums, but I wanna try Crunchbang and worried to do so because it certainly seems to have much smaller community support... would the solutions for Ubuntu work in Crunchbang as well??
[02:50] <Jeff_> ActionParsnip, TY
[02:50] <|Anthony|> ugh
[02:50] <|Anthony|> does it really have to be an explicit exclusion for every file
[02:50] <dr_willis> eb3ha4el,  i dont really see much need to use crunchbang. You could  make your own similer setup in ubuntu.
[02:50] <|Anthony|> wtf
[02:51] <dr_willis> eb3ha4el,  most of the fundamental stuff will be the same. but there can be differances. often big ones. Like SysV vs Upstart
[02:51] <quickslvr> messed up my sudoers file, now i can get into root to modify the file.
[02:51] <spikku> I have a dual boot laptop with Windows and Ubuntu.  I loaded up the live cd and attempted to reinstall grub2. It seems to kindof work, as I get a GRUB> prompt on bootup, but it doesn't display the menu. The Ubuntu grub2 help page says this is caused because grub doesn't know where the config file is. How do I set grub2 to know where the config file is on boot?
[02:51] <dr_willis> quickslvr,  use a live cd.
[02:51] <quickslvr> Will booting into save mode help?
[02:52] <quickslvr> dr_willis: boot up using the installation disc?
[02:52] <hypatia> no, but you could boot into single user, or use a livecd as dr_willis suggests quickslvr
[02:52] <dr_willis> quickslvr,  any live cd can work.
[02:52] <quickslvr> ok
[02:52] <quickslvr> Will try that now
[02:52] <eb3ha4el> dr_willis: thanks.. I originally wanted to and still trying to set up minimal ubuntu, but having troubles in network configuration...
[02:52] <dr_willis> or if you can alter your grub menu. append 'single' to the en d of the line.
[02:52] <eb3ha4el> dr_willis: so I just thought i'd rather try crunchbang.
[02:52] <dr_willis> eb3ha4el,  depends on how minimnal you want.  You could just use Lubuntu - its about as minimal yet being full fetauerd.
[02:53] <dr_willis> eb3ha4el,  you can always configure networking from the command line :) but i dont see what you gain by doing that route.
[02:54] <eb3ha4el> dr_willis: what route do you mean? minimal install?
[02:54] <dijonyummy> how to fix this error: mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting <IP_ADDRESS>:/ntfs_data. i thought i setup the server and client correctly. is this a prob on the client or server?
[02:55] <dr_willis> eb3ha4el,   the ubuntu installer on the alt-cd supports a 'command line only mini install' or if you want a full featured  yet low resource desktop = 'lubuntu' fits that catagory
[02:55] <dr_willis> !iinfo lubuntu
[02:55] <edugonch> Hello, I have xubuntu, I can't connect to my wireless network, I can see the connections and I can choose one, but when try to connect it just disconnect
[02:55] <dr_willis> !lubuntu
[02:56] <dr_willis> dijonyummy,  i would think its  a server setting issue.   'denied by server'
[02:56] <szal> !fluxbuntu
[02:56] <eb3ha4el> dr_willis: yes I have used lubuntu and quite liked it, but I just thought I wanna have some fun and more customized system by doing this..
[02:56] <edugonch> WHen I run ifup wlan0 I get this Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0.
[02:57] <AngelofThunder> hi everybody
[02:58] <AngelofThunder> i have severall linux versions installed, and after installing the last one, the ubuntustudio wasnt mentioned anymore in the grub bootloader, so i tried to reinstall grub with the ubuntulivedvd, but theres no list anymore, with fatal error showing no such directory, an than loading automaticly ubuntustudio, without the choice for the others!!! Can anyone help me please?
[02:58] <bezao> hi, i have done apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, and do-release-upgrade, and now i'm gettin this error when my ubuntu is restarted, -> http://www.image-share.com/ipng-716-88.html <- i did waited it for complete the installation! * yes i was using mono project. it also had been upgraded too, can i recover my ubuntu?
[02:58] <dr_willis> I wonder what LPAE means. :)  yet another standard that people will ignore?
[02:58] <kiffa> dr_willis are you really a doctor
[02:58] <|Anthony|> lol
[02:58] <Poindexter_> Dr_Willis if using Ubuntu with VirtualBox with Windows, would defragmenting the Windows box cause problems with Ubuntu since Linux does not need to be defragmented?
[02:59] <phux> after switching from 10.10 to 11.04 desktop load-up takes like 20 seconds, theres no difference in speed with unity, unity2d and classic gnome. is it just normal?
[03:00] <dr_willis> Poindexter_,  linux side cant tell.. its hard drive is in a single image file...
[03:00] <eb3ha4el> Do I have to fill in HTTP proxy information to access internet when configuring network manually at install?
[03:00] <dr_willis> Poindexter_,   ext2/3/4 can get fragmented.. but its rarely an issue.
[03:00] <qin> Poindexter_: Looks like waste of io
[03:01] <dr_willis> Poindexter_,  virtualbox also handles hard drives images in special ways.  so you rarely need to worry about them at all
[03:01] <robin0800> eb3ha4el, only if you use one
[03:02] <eb3ha4el> robin0800: hi you still there, how can i find that out??
[03:02] <Poindexter_> Dr_Willis thanks. I thought that might be an issue. So even if I defragment the disk, nothing is lost anyways due to the fact that I can always install it again. Nothing like experience.
[03:02] <dr_willis> Poindexter_,  it would be very weird that defragmenting windows would 'lose' any data at all... sort of make the os even more useless. :)
[03:03] <Trfsrfr> I just recently got my hp wireless printer working, but now I need to scan some doc's, and I cant figure out how.
[03:03] <Poindexter_> I think I did pretty good learning about VirtualBox in two days and installing perfectly.
[03:03] <Zulaika> I'm new to Ubuntu, If I download Thunderbird can I still have it work with the mail icon on the top bar?
[03:03] <dr_willis> bye all - bbl
[03:03] <bezao> i'm getting this error when i boot my ubuntu, i cant login there, but i can login by ssh over local network -> http://www.image-share.com/ipng-716-88.html
[03:03] <Poindexter_> Take care Dr_Willis. Thanks again.
[03:03] <eb3ha4el> robin0800: I typed in right IP address, subnet mask, Gateway I think... and left emtpy for name server, domain name, HTTP proxy information, then I can't access to ubuntu archive mirror..
[03:04] <robin0800> eb3ha4el, have you ever filled out proxy info for anything connecting to the internet?
[03:04] <Trfsrfr> how do I scan?
[03:04] <eb3ha4el> robin0800: I looked up wiki but still don't get what proxy is, but I just type in Wlan Password.
[03:04] <kiffa> of course everyone does that robin0800
[03:05] <escott> eb3ha4el, put <IP_ADDRESS> in for your name server. you have to have something there unless you use dhcp for everything
[03:05] <eb3ha4el> escott: thank you
[03:05] <Poindexter_> Escott, the install worked just fine. Thanks again.
[03:05] <escott> Poindexter_, good
[03:06] <bezao> i'm getting this error when i boot my ubuntu, i cant login there, but i can login by ssh over local network -> http://www.image-share.com/ipng-716-88.html , how can i correct this?
[03:06] <TheLifelessOne> My installation froze on 'unpacking keyboard-configuration'. Latest release, minimal .ISO, x86. What can I do to fix it without having to restart the installation?
[03:07] <Poindexter_> Escott I started to panic for a bit but when I saw the Windows Desktop in the background while Ubuntu was installing was a relief. In fact, Xubuntu installed extremely faster than if I had installed it on a clean hard drive.
[03:07] <usr13> bezao: Do you have openssh-server installed?
[03:07] <Jeff_> ActionParsnip, Will ISO work for a movie?
[03:07] <TheLifelessOne> Anyone? :/
[03:08] <eb3ha4el> escott: I put <IP_ADDRESS> but still not working.. hmm...
[03:08] <usr13> bezao: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[03:09] <Trfsrfr> how do i scan?
[03:09] <kiffa> press scan button
[03:09] <usr13> Trfsrfr: for what?
[03:09] <kiffa> with sledge hammer
[03:09] <bezao> usr13 you read it wrong, i CAN connect over ssh local host, i want to remove that error on my ubuntu boot., i cant long in the ubuntu machine!
[03:09] <Trfsrfr> usr13, I need to scan some doc's.
[03:10] <robin0800> eb3ha4el, what are you trying to connect to?
[03:10] <Jeff_> dr_willis, Will ISO work for creating a dvd playable on dvd player?
[03:10] <usr13> Trfsrfr: Scan for keywords?  Scan for what?
[03:10] <Trfsrfr> kiffa, let me try that...
[03:10] <bahaa> problem with apt: kdeplasma-addons-dbg depends on kdebase-workspace-dbg; however:
[03:10] <bahaa>   Package kdebase-workspace-dbg is not installed.
[03:10] <eb3ha4el> robin0800: Ubuntu archive mirror, I'm in a process of netinstall
[03:10] <usr13> Trfsrfr: man grep
[03:10] <Trfsrfr> usr13,  gimme 30 secs...
[03:10] <TheLifelessOne> Can anyone tell me why the minimal ISO is freezing during install?
[03:11] <bahaa> I've installed it twice and it's failing
[03:11] <bezao> i'm getting this error when i boot my ubuntu, i cant login there, but i can login by ssh over local network -> http://www.image-share.com/ipng-716-88.html , how can i correct this?
[03:11] <kiffa> see i am the only one in here actually helping ppl
[03:11] <bahaa> kiffa, thanks man :)
[03:11] <robin0800> eb3ha4el, try that as the name server
[03:11] <usr13> bezao: You can not login at the local terminal?
[03:12] <eb3ha4el> robin0800: okay
[03:12] <bezao> usr13 nop, check the site with the screen
[03:12] <Trfsrfr> kiffa,  how do i make my printer scan? pressing the button doesnt work.
[03:13] <eb3ha4el> robin0800: how do i find out ip address of http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ ?
[03:13] <kiffa> o
[03:13] <escott> Trfsrfr, have you opened the scanner application. it can usually start the scanning
[03:13] <kiffa> i know this one Trfsrfr i know it please don't tell me
[03:13] <usr13> Trfsrfr: Oh, like a fladbed scanner?
[03:13] <Trfsrfr> yes
[03:14] <kiffa> how is it connected usb or serial ?
[03:14] <Trfsrfr> like, on a copier printer scanner
[03:14] <Trfsrfr> wireless
[03:14] <kiffa> o
[03:14] <robin0800> eb3ha4el, put the gb.archive.ubuntu.com in as the name
[03:14] <usr13> Trfsrfr: gimp
[03:14] <kiffa> is the driver installed correctly ?
[03:14] <kiffa> did you  try restarting the computer
[03:14] <Trfsrfr> yes
[03:14] <kiffa> did you try it with a cable if possible ?
[03:14] <eb3ha4el> robin0800: installer tells me to put IP address of name server not host names
[03:14] <Trfsrfr> but i just bought it, and this is my 1st scan
[03:15] <bezao> how can i list packes installed in my ubuntu using a %like% ?
[03:15] <Trfsrfr> printer works
[03:15] <kiffa> do you have a program that scans for you ?
[03:15] <kiffa> or give you the option to scan ?
[03:15] <escott> eb3ha4el, is there a reason you can't use the automatic dhcp setup
[03:15] <Trfsrfr> this is my 1st scan
[03:15] <usr13> Trfsrfr: See if it is supported s
[03:15] <usr13> Trfsrfr: man sane-find-scanner
[03:16] <eb3ha4el> escott: I was also wondering about that. I mean it keeps fails and someone told me it might be because of WPA password of wireless network I'm using
[03:16] <celthunder> eb3ha4el: <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:16] <eb3ha4el> celthunder: thank you
[03:16] <usr13> Trfsrfr: sane-find-scanner  is a command-line tool to find SCSI and USB scanners
[03:16] <kiffa> he just said it was wireless
[03:17] <kiffa> and the priter was working so according to my logic it is detected
[03:17] <escott> eb3ha4el, can you run "ping <IP_ADDRESS>" in a terminal
[03:17] <robin0800> eb3ha4el, according to google its <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:18] <eb3ha4el> escott: ping google.com - bad address //// ping <IP_ADDRESS> - Network is unreachable
[03:18] <eb3ha4el> robin0800: thank you i'll try that
[03:18] <bezao> how can i list packes installed in my ubuntu using a %like% ?
[03:18] <rww> bezao: I don't understand your question.
[03:18] <usr13> eb3ha4el: ping is a command line tool.
[03:19] <IdleOne> !clone | bezao
[03:19] <eb3ha4el> usr13: Yes I understand that
[03:19] <escott> eb3ha4el, you really need to pay more attention to error messages, you've been wasting your time for the past 2 hours
[03:19] <kiffa> hmm bezao has a good question
[03:19] <bezao> rww i wanna list packes installed that have MONO in name,
[03:19] <bezao> so i can remove it all
[03:19] <kiffa> first one to have a real good question bezoa you get my question reward of the day
[03:19] <escott> eb3ha4el, fix the wpa error, and make sure you are using automatic (dhcp) configuratoin
[03:19] <usr13> escott: What is he trying to do?
[03:19] <elvis> haha
[03:19] <kzh> bezao, are you trolling?
[03:20] <escott> usr13, install and the last two hours he has been worrying about dns when he isn't even connected to his network
[03:20] <bezao> of course not
[03:20] <bezao> i do want to list that
[03:20] <IdleOne> bezao: use Synaptic package manager
[03:20] <usr13> escott: Oh, he is trying to establish wireless network connection?
[03:20] <eb3ha4el> escott: do you know how to fix WPA error then? I'm not sure whether the cause of problem is WPA but it probably is I think.. because I never typed password
[03:20] <escott> eb3ha4el, if you have an ethernet cable you might want to plug directly into your router instead of using wireless
[03:21] <celthunder> bezao: apt-cache search mono
[03:21] <bezao> IdleOne i'm under ubuntu-server i only have terminal, how can i do that?
[03:21] <bezao> celthunder i did that, but it shows 20203829 packes, i wanna know which of them i have installed.
[03:22] <escott> eb3ha4el, yes it should ask for a password. i would delete the connection config you have right now, and try to select your network from the list again
[03:22] <rww> bezao: I don't know how to do that without aptitude :(
[03:22]  * rww would do aptitude search ~i~nmono
[03:22] <rww> but aptitude isn't installed by default now
[03:22] <eb3ha4el> escott: I don't have it, so I was thinking of plugging the cable that goes to wireless router itself but I'm using router with my flatmates.. can't disturb them using internet
[03:22] <bezao> rww i can use atitude in ubuntu? i need to install?
[03:22] <rww> bezao: sudo apt-get install aptitude
[03:22] <rww> there's probably a way of doing it without that, I just don't know what it is
[03:22] <bezao> i already have it, lol, hehe
[03:23] <robin0800> rww, its easy to install thou
[03:23] <eb3ha4el> escott: no chance without using wiring?
[03:23] <rww> ah, yay. well, there you go :)
[03:23] <bezao> it have me show less packec then pat-get search
[03:23] <rww> and to remove anything with "mono" in the name, sudo aptitude purge ~i~nmono
[03:23] <bezao> but it has alot, how can i remove all of them without type 1 by 1
[03:23] <bezao> haha, u answered first :D
[03:23] <escott> eb3ha4el, it should work fine, i'm not sure why you are unable to connect to your wap. if it shows in the list you should be able to select it and it should ask you for a password
[03:23] <celthunder> bezao: add --installed to the command
[03:24] <celthunder> bezao: apt-cache search --installed mono
[03:24] <escott> eb3ha4el, if you can plug in directly you can simplify things because there will be no wpa issues
[03:24] <bezao> celthunder i would try, but i'm already uninstalling it, hehe
[03:24] <bezao> thanks celthunder and rww
[03:25] <SnowCrush> Is there a quick way to completely remove and reinstall unity/compiz?
[03:26] <robin0800> escott, I'm not even sure wpa is supported its not in the alternate cd or the minimal one
[03:26] <escott> robin0800, it is
[03:26] <ActionParsnip> SnowCrush: it will just put the same files in the same place. it won't reset config. Do you want to reset the config?
[03:27] <robin0800> escott, I've only seen wep not wpa
[03:27] <SnowCrush> ActionParsnip, I will try that.  How?
[03:27] <eb3ha4el> robin0800: I have no idea but I simply have been told the same
[03:28] <escott> robin0800, if you are using wep you should move to wpa as wep stands for "weak encryption protocol" ;)
[03:29] <bezao> rww i did some updates last night, runned this "apt-get update;apt-get upgrade -y;do-release-upgrade;apt-get clean" and after that i cant see the login screen at the machine, can i correct this?
[03:29] <bezao> it's possible?
[03:30] <robin0800> escott, I use wpa2 and cannot install using the alternate cd wireless as it does not support this
[03:30] <rww> bezao: no idea
[03:30] <eb3ha4el> robin0800: so it seems certain then without cable I cannot continue installing this..?
[03:31] <bezao> guys after i did "apt-get update;apt-get upgrade -y;do-release-upgrade;apt-get clean" last night, on ubuntu-server, i cannot see my login screen when i boot, it's possible to fix this?
[03:31] <szal> bezao: well, what do you see if not the login screen?
[03:32] <escott> bezao, do you know what do-release-upgrade does?
[03:32] <robin0800> eb3ha4el, I thought most routers come with a network cable
[03:32] <banker247> this may be off the wall question... but why would you use Arch opposed to Ubuntu?
[03:32] <bezao> escott updates my ubuntu
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> SnowCrush: you can use gconf somehow, or there are config folders in ~/.config
[03:32] <bezao> szal i can login over localhost by ssh
[03:32] <escott> bezao, no it updates your ubuntu release from say 10.10 to 11.04.. its not something you should just casually run
[03:33] <szal> bezao: that was not the question
[03:33] <eb3ha4el> robin0800: Router is not mine.. I live with flatmates.. and it's pretty late for asking for a cable... but seems things have became clear thanks
[03:33] <DJCharlie> Evening all. Can someone tell me how to fix this error please? dpkg: error processing ca-certificates-java (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[03:33] <icarus> Q: have 4 lenovo Thinkcenter M58P 6234 UV1. Trying to connect as a cluster(load-balancing/round-robin). Please provide either software suggestion or different IRC.
[03:33] <bezao> escott why not? i want to upgrade, why i cant?
[03:33] <robin0800> eb3ha4el, can't you download a cd?
[03:34] <bezao> szal a black screen
[03:34] <eb3ha4el> robin0800: you mean full featured?
[03:34] <banker247> why would you use Arch opposed to Ubuntu? i'm trying to understand
[03:34] <bezao> with the keyboard cursor, blinking
[03:34] <robin0800> eb3ha4el, yes 650 Mb
[03:34] <escott> bezao, what happened to you is exactly why you don't just casually run something like do-release-upgrade
[03:35] <SnowCrush> ActionParsnip, I think I may have gotten into the trouble I'm in now by [rm -rf] ing in .config, willy-nilly.
[03:35] <szal> banker247: we don't, this is #ubuntu, so why would you expect someone here to use Arch?
[03:35] <eb3ha4el> robin0800: oh don't worry.. I'm just trying this for fun and to learn.. I can do that..
[03:35] <banker247> szal, i dunno
[03:35] <rww> banker247: perhaps you should ask #archlinux
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> SnowCrush: oh boy :(
[03:35] <bezao> escott i always did that, never got problem, from 2 years, but now it did, but i dont know if that was the problem, since the version is running still 10.04
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> SnowCrush: log off and on and you will get vanilla settings for your apps
[03:36] <escott> bezao, ill grant you the use of upgrade and update is a bit confusing. apt-get update downloads the most recent list of packages, apt-get upgrade installs any security updates from that set. do-release-upgrade will replace virtually your entire system with new software
[03:36] <bezao> i guess that is not the problem escott i still have running version 10.04, i did not downloaded 111
[03:36] <bezao> 11*
[03:36] <icarus> anybody know where it would be possible to get actual cluster support?
[03:37] <aidrocsid> so i've got windows and samba all configured, but how do i actually browse my network folders?
[03:37] <TheChriza> wooo!!!
[03:37] <szal> bezao: in that case 'do-release-upgrade' is pointless
[03:37] <escott> bezao, 10.04 is an LTS so do-release-upgrade won't do anything until apr-2012 but please stop running that command like that
[03:38] <bezao> dude, can i fix that? or will you keep telling me to dont run the command, cuz this wont help me
[03:38] <bezao> i already did, so..
[03:38] <TheChriza> hostility
[03:38] <aidrocsid> anybody? samba?
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> aidrocsid: if you run:  smbtree   do you see the shares?
[03:39] <eiriksvin> um, does anyone know how to install GameKit_Engine on Blender in Ubuntu?
[03:39] <Corey> bezao: Calm.  Soothing thoughts.
[03:39] <escott> bezao, just trying to protect you from shooting yourself in the foot in the future. so you are able to ssh into the server? but the gui is not coming up? can you !paste your Xorg.0.log from /var/log
[03:39] <SnowCrush> ActionParsnip: Heh, I've tried that a few times, now.   It's easy enough to boot into Classic, but I'm not proud.
[03:39] <banker247> rww, hmm thats wierd.. you can't talk in #archlinux
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> SnowCrush: i ditched compiz a year or so back
[03:39]  * szal asks himself why a server would have a GUI anyway
[03:39] <aidrocsid> oo yes i see it
[03:40] <rww> banker247: ah, looks like it's set to require nickserv identification to talk
[03:40] <Corey> SnowCrush: Correct, although not helpful.
[03:40] <szal> banker247: yes you can..  if you have a registered nick
[03:40] <rww> !register
[03:40] <DJCharlie> Can someone tell me how to fix this error please? dpkg: error processing ca-certificates-java (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[03:40] <aidrocsid> \\ LAPTOP
[03:40] <bezao> escott /var/log/Xorg.0.log does not exists. i'm running ubuntu-server just to know again
[03:40] <aidrocsid> how do i get there?
[03:40] <escott> bezao, so what login screen are you refering to getty?
[03:41] <banker247> szal, what you mean registered nickj
[03:41] <bezao> when i boot it, it got black! after shows UBUNTU 10.04
[03:41] <rww> banker247: see ubottu's last message
[03:41] <bezao> i cant login in that machine, just over localhost by ssh escott
[03:42] <escott> bezao, and what are you are expecting a text console or a gui?
[03:42] <aidrocsid> ActionParsnip: I see it, how do I browse it?
[03:42] <banker247> weird
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> SnowCrush: you can use gconf to recursive unset the options in gconf which hold compiz settings
[03:42] <banker247> ..
[03:42] <bezao> escott something to login, i had that, i dont remember what is was a console or gui, but i could login in that machine!
[03:42] <bezao> now i cant anymore, it got black
[03:43] <escott> bezao, can you ctrl-alt-f1?
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> aidrocsid: press ALT+F2 and type:   smb://server/share    replace server with the server name, replace share with the share name
[03:43] <SnowCrush> ActopmParsnip: I'm in love with Compiz's hotkeyed grid and sliding animations between desktops.  I've never felt so free slinging windows around the screen, and flying around over multiple desktops.
[03:43] <SnowCrush> ActionParsnip: I'll give that a try, thanks.
[03:43] <Hilikus> how can i see the file descriptor of a process? i am trying to find the flash cache
[03:43] <aidrocsid> oh hell now i don't see it
[03:43] <kleanchap> Is it possible to power on a computer via BIOS settings?
[03:43] <bezao> escott why the hell they have made that, blah it was hidden!
[03:44] <aidrocsid> probably because i was installing samba 4
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> kleanchap: i'd ask in #hardware
[03:44] <aidrocsid> and it overwrote my conf
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> aidrocsid: why are you using samba4?
[03:44] <szal> kleanchap: see the owner's manual of the motherboard for information on what events can trigger a wakeup
[03:44] <robin0800> kleanchap, wake on lan usually
[03:44] <escott> bezao, gdm is failing or the x server is failing. so vt7 is blank. vt1-6 have getty's on them
[03:44] <bezao> escott i did never needed to do ctrl+alt+f1
[03:44] <D-coy> o/
[03:44] <escott> bezao, vt7 is the default
[03:45] <DJCharlie> Can someone PLEASE tell me how to fix this error? dpkg: error processing ca-certificates-java (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[03:45] <aidrocsid> hey it didn't at all
[03:45] <bezao> escott how can i correct that?
[03:45] <aidrocsid> weird
[03:45] <escott> bezao, do you want a gui or not
[03:45] <kleanchap> szal, robin0800 : Thanks.
[03:45] <bezao> nop, just the console login escott
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> DJCharlie: can you give a full pastebin of the output of:  lsb_release -a; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade
[03:45] <aidrocsid> ActionParsnip: it's not showing me the tree anymore
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> aidrocsid: then restart the smbd service. I suggest you use samba and not samba4
[03:46] <aidrocsid> ok
[03:46] <aidrocsid> how do i install that instead
[03:46] <aidrocsid> when i did sudo apt-get install samba it gave me samba 4
[03:47] <aidrocsid> ok now i see it again
[03:48] <bezao> how can i change the ubuntu language?
[03:48] <aidrocsid> i don't see a share
[03:48] <aidrocsid> just the machine
[03:48] <NictraSavios> What is the name of the ubuntu ssh GUI package?
[03:49] <NictraSavios> The GUI that you get on the "edit" menu in unity, or the places menu in gnome 2. It allows you to connect to ftp/ssh and a few others, the "connect to server" thing. Id like to know what it is called.
[03:49] <DJCharlie> ActionParsnip: copying to pastebin now.
[03:49] <aidrocsid> ActionParsnip: smb://LAPTOP/Downloads isn't doing anything
[03:50] <aidrocsid> and i do see the machine, just no folders :(
[03:51] <DJCharlie> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/bV7GFwGw
[03:51] <aidrocsid> oh but i might be able to share the other way
[03:51] <aidrocsid> which is just as good
[03:51] <Hilikus> any idea where are flash videos cached?
[03:51] <escott> bezao, modify /etc/default/console-setup to put gettys on 1-7 and maybe also change your kernel boot parameters in /etc/default/grub to be "text" instead of "quiet splash"
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> DJCharlie: what is the output of: sudo apt-get update; lsb_release -a    please
[03:52] <Rickdat> Hello, how can I get iTunes working on Ubuntu?
[03:52] <escott> bezao, you could also disable and gdm service you have with update-rc.d
[03:52] <NictraSavios> rickbol, You can't. Its not made for linux. It won't sync with an iphone or ipod even through wine.
[03:53] <escott> bezao, there may be more useful information in !init
[03:53] <MrPPS> Rickdat: you don't get iTunes working on Ubuntu - you use alternatives
[03:53] <MrPPS> or dual boot
[03:53] <bezao> escott thanks
[03:53] <NictraSavios> rickbol, I would suggest installing windows to Virtual-box, and using that.
[03:53] <Rickdat> MrPPS
[03:53] <Rickdat> what if ubuntu killed windows? :S
[03:53] <ActionParsnip> Rickdat: wine may do it
[03:53] <MrPPS> Rickdat: that only happens when it's angry...
[03:54] <MrPPS> Rickdat: what did it do to Windows?
[03:54] <Rickdat> formatted my harddrive
[03:54] <ActionParsnip> MrPPS: some versions of itunes run in some versions of wine
[03:54] <NictraSavios> Rickdat, Ubuntu cannot kill windows, unless you messed up majorly
[03:54] <ActionParsnip> Rickdat: ubuntu won't kill windows
[03:54] <Rickdat> i formatted the hardrive
[03:54] <Rickdat> :S
[03:54] <NictraSavios> MrPPS, None that work with current firmwares, non that can sync to an iDevice
[03:54] <robin0800> Rickdat, if you can i would install rockbox on your ipod
[03:54] <MrPPS> ActionParsnip: I never said they didn't, but it's very buggy, and there's much better wyas to go about it
[03:54] <DJCharlie> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/bmJMDG1V
[03:54] <Rickdat> well ubuntu did anyway
[03:54] <NictraSavios> Rickdat, Do you need it for an iDevice?
[03:54] <MrPPS> Rickdat: formatting the hard drive was simply not knowing what you were supposed to do when installing
[03:55] <MrPPS> Rickdat: not trying to be mean, but it does fairly clearly give you options for keeping windows
[03:55] <bezao> ubuntu can handle the 4gb ram of a computer? win7 32bit can't, but 64bits, can
[03:55] <Rickdat> NictraSavios, My iPod touch.
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> DJCharlie: ok what is the output of:  cat /etc/lsb-release
[03:55] <Rickdat> MrPPS, the LiveCD that I downloaded only gave me the option to format the disk. :/
[03:55] <Rickdat> 10.04 live cd
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> MrPPS: MrPPS> Rickdat: you don't get iTunes working on Ubuntu - you use alternatives
[03:55] <rww> bezao: Yes. Ubuntu 64-bit can handle a *lot* of RAM, 32-bit with PAE can handle... 64 GB I think?
[03:55] <NictraSavios> Rickdat, I develop for jailbroken iPhones, I'm activly pestering apple, even offered to do the port myself each time. They wont budge
[03:55] <rww> !pae
[03:56] <MrPPS> ActionParsnip: I still didn't say you *couldn't*
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> MrPPS: which is why I said, you CAN get it working on ubuntu
[03:56] <MrPPS> ActionParsnip: simply that you don't :P
[03:56] <DJCharlie> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/UsiAQTkf
[03:56] <MrPPS> because it's not worth it
[03:56] <MrPPS> but I agree, it can be taken the wrong way
[03:56] <linux_rus> fun to sit down to read another language
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> MrPPS: neither are ipods ;)
[03:56] <MrPPS> Rickdat: it can be done, but I suggest against it
[03:56] <Rickdat> NictraSavios, so what should I do?
[03:56] <NictraSavios> Rickdat, The chat is a little noise, Ill explain it all in pm
[03:56] <MrPPS> ActionParsnip: haha
[03:56] <Rickdat> Thanks mate. :D
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> DJCharlie: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ca-certificates-java/+bug/556044
[03:56] <bezao> rww do i need to download the ubuntu 64 bit correct?
[03:56] <Rickdat> Also thanks for responding ActionParsnip,and MrPPS
[03:56] <linux_rus> no one here from Russia?
[03:57] <rww> linux_rus: try #ubuntu-ru
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> MrPPS: but yeah alternatives are way better (and alternatives for ipods too ;))
[03:57] <rww> bezao: they come on different ISOs, yes.
[03:57] <NictraSavios> Rickdat, Click on my name in your channel listing, or tabs.
[03:57] <MrPPS> Rickdat: I'd suggest checking the disc to make sure it's a valid download, cause as far as I recall, all of the Live CD's give options for dual booting, or at least manually setting it up
[03:57] <MrPPS> ActionParsnip: I agree with the latter for sure :P
[03:57] <linux_rus> rww banned
[03:57] <DJCharlie> ActionParsnip: So basically, there's no way to fix it?
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> DJCharlie: there is a bug, with a fix. Did you read the link?
[03:57] <NictraSavios> MrPPS, It dosen't matter now. Its done
[03:58] <DJCharlie> ActionParsnip: It's timing out here.
[03:58] <androidbruce> hey guys im getting a weird error when trying to share a directory in 11.04. i've searched the forums for fixes and none have worked. error here,http://pastebin.com/0t1CwLsP
[03:58] <MrPPS> NictraSavios: I was referring more for future reference
[03:58] <daurnimator> every boot my volume is at like 2%; how can I make it 100% each boot instead?
[03:58] <linux_rus> люди напишите кто нибудь на русском
[03:59] <bezao> thanks
[03:59] <escott> daurnimator, is service alsa-store and alsa-restore running
[03:59] <AngelofThunder> hey guys is there anywhere on the net a generall list with all linux avaibale commands?
[03:59] <thulle> are there any other ways then launchpad to report bugs? i'm just getting timeouts..
[03:59] <rww> linux_rus: #ubuntu is for English-language Ubuntu technical support, not Russian-language or finding people from your country.
[03:59] <DJCharlie> ActionParsnip: Still no joy on that link.
[04:00] <androidbruce> can anyone help with samba and sharing directories with windows
[04:00] <escott> daurnimator, or at least recognized and configured to run (service alsa-store shows stopped/waiting)
[04:00] <ubuntu__> hola
[04:00] <bastidrazor> AngelofThunder: in a terminal tap tab twice then Y .. it'll list all available
[04:00] <linux_rus> rww thanks
[04:00] <MrPPS> androidbruce: Best to ask your question straight out, then people who know will jump in
[04:01] <androidbruce> MrPPS, asked earlier, guess im out of luck. error here,http://pastebin.com/0t1CwLsP
[04:01] <androidbruce> MrPPS, checked the forums for many posts with no luck
[04:02] <supermikey> does anyone feel like helpin a noob?
[04:02] <MrPPS> androidbruce: I'll take a quick look, but I'm not much of a "samba ninja"
[04:02] <MrPPS> supermikey: just ask the question, and those who can, will respond ;)
[04:02] <androidbruce> MrPPS, it's such a pita
[04:02] <Corey> supermikey: Not if you don't ask a question.
[04:02] <supermikey> tee hee
[04:02] <Snakkah> I'm going to dual-boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu, and I was wondering if there was a way I could partition the hard drive so that I could access the same files (documents, music, pictures, etc)  on each system?
[04:02] <Nickkkkk> So I finished editing my Ubuntu theme :P
[04:02] <supermikey> im trying to install the b43 drivers for my broadcom 4322
[04:02] <Nickkkkk> It looks cool :D
[04:02] <androidbruce> Snakkah, you can access the windows partiton from within ubuntu
[04:02] <supermikey> on ubuntu 10.04
[04:03] <Corey> !ask | supermikey
[04:03] <supermikey> but wireless isn't showing up with ifconfig unless i change to the sta wireless
[04:03] <MichaelKohler> hi, my usb stick isn't mounted automatically anymore.. I'd like to mount it using the mount command in the terminal, but I have no idea which arguments to pass
[04:03] <Corey> supermikey: Please stop circling the point and put it all on one line. :-)
[04:03] <escott> Snakkah, the best approach is probably to create a partition explicitly for sharing. it can be either FAT or NTFS
[04:03] <Snakkah> escott, well damn. That means I'll have to reinstall Ubuntu too. :/
[04:03] <escott> Snakkah, you can resize stuff with gparted
[04:03] <MrPPS> androidbruce: I take it you've tried: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[04:04] <androidbruce> MrPPS, yeah lemme try again just for kicks
[04:04] <MrPPS> androidbruce: no worries, just like to check to make sure ;)
[04:04] <escott> Snakkah, be a little careful resizing the windows boot partition as they can be a little picky
[04:04] <Corey> supermikey: As a general rule you have to disable STA, bounce the box, enable b43 (and I forget if you need to bounce it again at this point).
[04:04] <androidbruce> btw 11.04 installs samba4
[04:04] <Snakkah> escott, I won't be resizing a Windows partition. It's not installed currently.
[04:05] <escott> !grub | Snakkah since you are installing windows second be sure to review this
[04:05] <supermikey> oh i forgot to mention im just installed ubuntu for the first time.  i've never used it before.  so i can disable sta and enable b43 but i don't know what you mean by b43
[04:05] <MrPPS> androidbruce: I don't think I've used samba4 specifically yet
[04:05] <MrPPS> all the same, I'm doing some search
[04:05] <MrPPS> searching*
[04:05] <Snakkah> Already looked at it escott. Got it bookmarked. :)
[04:05] <androidbruce> MrPPS, it's becoming a real chore sharing right now
[04:05] <supermikey> by bounce
[04:05] <androidbruce> MrPPS, any ideas how to share a folder to a windows machine? samba the only way?
[04:05] <Corey> supermikey: I mean "restart it"
[04:06] <androidbruce> MrPPS, or can i get a CIFS server going somehow
[04:06] <Corey> supermikey: It's easier than talking you through rmmod, lsmod, etc. :-)
[04:06] <MrPPS> androidbruce: could always use NFS: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324089
[04:06] <escott> MrPPS CIFS is samba
[04:06] <androidbruce> MrPPS, can winfail mount nfs?
[04:06] <Snakkah> escott, is 50 GB too small for Windows 7 you think? I know it'll be fine for Ubuntu when I resize but I don't know how Windows will deal with that.
[04:07] <androidbruce> Snakkah, depends on how much you will use winfail 7, you can install it on 20gb and be ok
[04:07] <supermikey> restart the computer?
[04:07] <MrPPS> escott: why was that aimed at me?
[04:07] <MrPPS> androidbruce: yes, I believe it can
[04:07] <MrPPS> androidbruce: according to that microsoft doco anyway
[04:07] <androidbruce> MrPPS, ahh hmm
[04:07] <androidbruce> wow this is news
[04:07] <escott> MrPPS, sorry meant for androidbruce CIFS is samba
[04:07] <MrPPS> escott: ;)
[04:07] <androidbruce> escott, yeah samba is failing hardcore right now
[04:08] <MrPPS> androidbruce: give this a try: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9898882&postcount=11
[04:08] <MrPPS> if you haven't already seen it
[04:08] <MrPPS> androidbruce: but yeah, otherwise, I'd use NFS, because I've had significantly better success with that, just in my own personal experience
[04:09] <escott> MrPPS, NFS for windows?
[04:09] <MrPPS> escott: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324089
[04:09] <escott> androidbruce, you could also setup an sftp server
[04:09] <androidbruce> escott, lol i just asked that
[04:09] <androidbruce> haha
[04:10] <MrPPS> escott / androidbruce: just realised that was for sharing *from* windows - though I should think if you can share from windows, you can also read a Linux NFS share
[04:10] <MrPPS> http://sagehacks.wordpress.com/2009/01/21/howto-mount-nfs-shares-under-windows-7/
[04:10] <androidbruce> MrPPS, my ultimate goal here is to share with my xbox
[04:11] <androidbruce> share from ubuntu machine, to windows machine running media center
[04:11] <MrPPS> and this may also be helpful: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=310168
[04:11] <androidbruce> i might just get a nas going
[04:11] <MrPPS> androidbruce: probably the cheapest way to do it - get a low end one, and just have it as a dedicated box
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> androidbruce: xbmc can share the folders and xbox can talk to it nicely
[04:11] <MrPPS> or use a NAS-focused distro
[04:11] <androidbruce> MrPPS, yeah i might built a freenas
[04:12] <androidbruce> i have all the equipment here to do so
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> androidbruce: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=UPnP_Sharing
[04:12] <androidbruce> ActionParsnip, ohh snap xbmc runs on ubuntu?
[04:14] <ruvagh> what's up folks.
[04:15] <supermikey> how do i run b43-fwcutter from terminal?  it shows installed in synaptic package manager but under hardware, i can't change from the sta driver so i guess i need to run it
[04:17] <Snakkah> Another question related to my last one: Would it be better to dual-boot or use WINE? The reason why I asked about dual-booting in the first place was because I wanted to install some games. Just wanted to know which would be a better option.
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> androidbruce: yeah
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> androidbruce: there is a ppa
[04:18] <celthunder> supermikey: i think it's a kernel module
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> Snakkah: check the appdb for the games you want to play
[04:19] <supermikey> ummmm...kernel module?  i really don't know what that means.  any idea how to install b43 drivers ?
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> broadcom
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom
[04:21] <Nickkkkk> Night.
[04:22] <cmdematos> Q? What/why is there a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu?
[04:22] <cmdematos> Should the content of this folder not be in /usr/lib64 which is sym-linked to /usr/lib?
[04:22] <supermikey> i already tried running the command thats on that wifidoc but it says the 43-fwcutter is already installed.  i still dont have b43 listed under the hardware
[04:22] <cmdematos> What am I missing here?
[04:23] <swim> hey, does anybody know how to view .scr files using ubuntu??
[04:23] <o2oo> hi
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> supermikey: do you have the fw cutter package instaled and the b43 kernel source
[04:24] <Sietai> hello
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> swim: what sort of file is it?
[04:24] <Sietai> i have a question about irc
[04:24] <eb3ha4el> Would you recommend to encrypt home folder?
[04:24] <o2oo> who knows where is a "windows samba dir" mounted to in the filesystem?
[04:24] <supermikey> i don't know if i have the kernel source installed.  how do i check?
[04:24] <swim> it's supposed to be a windows screen saver but i'm getting really upset by it because i've even tried opening it in a virtualbox and can't get it to work
[04:24] <o2oo> hello, who knows where is a "windows samba dir" mounted to in the filesystem?
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> swim: http://filext.com/file-extension/SCR  shows 7 possible files it could be. telling us only the extension tells us nothing
[04:26] <swim> ActionParsnip it is supposed to be image files.  However, it is saved in the .scr windows screen saver format..  idk why, i just know i've had a heck of a time viewing them
[04:26] <NictraSavios> What is the name of the ubuntu ssh GUI package?
[04:26] <NictraSavios> The GUI that you get on the "edit" menu in unity, or the places menu in gnome 2. It allows you to connect to ftp/ssh and a few others, the "connect to server" thing. Id like to know what it is called.
[04:26] <ruser> hey guys, quick question.  You know how you can pin one package? i want to do the reserve of this.  And install only one package form latest version without doing a full dist upgrade.  The are almost no dependencies, so it should work. How do you do that though?
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> swim: if its an image file then open it with a viewer. What does the 'file' command say it is?
[04:27] <NictraSavios> ruser, Simply apt-get install package
[04:27] <aendruk> I accidentally deleted all of the symlinks in /etc/rc1.d/. How can I regenerate them?
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> !pinning | ruser
[04:27] <ruser> it seems both of you missed the point of the question
[04:28] <ruser> i wasn't asking about pinning one package.  i want to install packge from newwer version of ubuntu, while not doing dist-upgrade
[04:28] <aendruk> ruser: You can manually download the package from packages.ubuntu.com. Install it by double-clicking.
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> ruser: so you only want to upgrade one package?
[04:28] <ruser> aendruk: was contemplating that
[04:28] <swim> ActionParsnip i've tried several image viewers.. most won't recognize it as a supported file.. the only one that will is ristretto, but it will not open them.. even when i switch over to xfce which the program is intended for
[04:28] <NictraSavios> ruser, then why not install the one package ..... apt-get install, no upgrade, nothin
[04:29] <MichaelKohler> hi, my usb stick is not listed in "fdisk -l".. what can I do else to find out whether it's sdb or something else?
[04:29] <ruser> ActionParsnip: yes from a newer verison of ubuntu, without upgrading the full system.  it's a box i have remote access, and if i do put new kernel there is a chacne it wont' come back from reboot.  and it's in another country  :)
[04:29] <rinkukokiri> MichaelKohler, do sudo fdisk -l   ?
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> ruser: if you only want to upgrade one package without doing a full upgrade then NictraSavios' command is correct
[04:29] <MichaelKohler> rinkukokiri: same result
[04:29] <ruser> ActionParsnip: well, i would need to change the source.list in that case to point to newer distros
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> ruser: mixing packages from different releases isn't advised nor supported
[04:29] <ruser> ActionParsnip: i am well aware of it
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> ruser: so why ask?
[04:30] <NictraSavios> ruser, Always keep it simple. Now if your asking about a package from an upgraded version of ubuntu, well just download the deb and install it with dpkg -i
[04:30] <robin0800> MichaelKohler, lsusb
[04:30] <rinkukokiri> MichaelKohler, lsusb
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> ruser: I suggest you find a ppa
[04:30] <rinkukokiri> MichaelKohler, it's probably just not mounted
[04:30] <androidbruce> ActionParsnip, no dice on the ppa
[04:30] <ruser> ppa?
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | ruser
[04:30] <MichaelKohler> rinkukokiri: I get the device there.. but what can I do now with this information?
[04:30] <ruser> ah, yeah tought luck with that
[04:30] <eb3ha4el> is it recommended to encrypt home folder??
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> androidbruce: https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/ppa
[04:31] <NictraSavios> MichaelKohler, ls /dev | grep sd , mount anything not sda :P
[04:31] <swim> MichaelKohler you can system>administration>disk utility
[04:31] <Iron_Chef> I'm sure this has been asked before, but LibreOffice keeps crashing on Natty - is there a fix?
[04:31] <ruser> so you guys are saying,  change sources do an update, than install  the pkg and rever the sources again?
[04:31] <NictraSavios> MichaelKohler, ls /dev | grep sd | grep -v a  may work too :P
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> eb3ha4el: depends on needs, I personally say no but if its approprate for your needs and data integrity etc then sure
[04:31] <MichaelKohler> NictraSavios: I'll try that ;)
[04:31] <ruser> assuming i'm not goign to get myself into a dependacy hell
[04:31] <Iron_Chef> I use ubuntu at work and it's making me look bad
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> Iron_Chef: try renaming the config folder in the root of $HOME
[04:31] <aendruk> ruser: Sounds too messy to me.
[04:32] <Iron_Chef> ActionParsnip: ah to  what?
[04:32] <NictraSavios> MichaelKohler, That will only tell you what devices are able to be mounted though :P
[04:32] <ruser> yeah, i'll probably go for the package off the web
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> ruser: no, we're saying you should either find a ppa, or do an upgrade
[04:32] <eb3ha4el> ActionParsnip: thanks... would you say it would slow down PC?
[04:32] <rinkukokiri> MichaelKohler, you can try system > administration  > disk utility   and try mounting it from there...
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> eb3ha4el: not sure, I don't use it. I think it causes too many headaches
[04:32] <rinkukokiri> MichaelKohler, you can also format / partition it there
[04:32] <swim> good suggestion rinkukokiri
[04:33] <ruser> ActionParsnip: as i said i wont' be getting physical access to the box for a little while.  since i'm in a diff country at the moment. I'd rather not dist-upgrade.
[04:33] <NictraSavios> rinkukokiri, eww, GUI :P mounting is part of sys admin, should be done from CLI
[04:33] <aendruk> ruser: Also, check the backports repo just in case it's available there.
[04:33] <NictraSavios> rinkukokiri, Only use GUI for trival things like shhing
[04:33] <ruser> aendruk: excellent idea
[04:33] <rinkukokiri> NictraSavios, i didn't know this was #ubuntu-server... wait it isn't
[04:34] <MichaelKohler> rinkukokiri, NictraSavios: thanks I found out that it is sr0.. so I'll mount that :) thanks
[04:34] <seraphimblade> Anyone up to troubleshoot a networking issue? I'm at a bit of a loss here.
[04:35] <ruser> aendruk: eh no luck with backports.
[04:35] <NictraSavios> rinkukokiri, sshing is the act of connecting to another computer via a client, which has nothing to do with a ubuntu server. I use it to connect to an Iphone
[04:35] <ruser> also another question, what is a good resource to browse package information on the web
[04:35] <seraphimblade> I can't figure how eth0 suddenly disappeared, after I had a recent power outage/reboot.
[04:35] <rinkukokiri> NictraSavios, i was referring to your "eww gui" remark..
[04:35] <ruser> ActionParsnip: NictraSavios thanks for the ideas
[04:35] <NictraSavios> ruser, use the software center
[04:35] <seraphimblade> Doesn't even show up in dmesg.
[04:35] <rinkukokiri> NictraSavios, and I know what SSH is.. i do have an AS in Computer Systems Security
[04:36] <NictraSavios> rinkukokiri, GUI is for newbies and faildows noobs.
[04:36] <ruser> NictraSavios: im' running headless, it's a remote machine
[04:36] <rinkukokiri> NictraSavios, well good for you... anything else?? you can take it to #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-server
[04:37] <NictraSavios> rinkukokiri, You brought it up, not me. Don't be a hater
[04:37] <ruser> NictraSavios: any other suggestions?
[04:37] <NictraSavios> !bite | rinkukokiri
[04:37] <NictraSavios> ruser, Other then the ppa or an upgrade, notta :P
[04:37] <aendruk> NictraSavios: *Ubuntu* is for newbies. If you're too much of a Real Man for that, you should be running a different distro.
[04:37] <rinkukokiri> sorry ubottu, i've already ignored em
[04:37] <NictraSavios> aendruk, I am.
[04:37] <rinkukokiri> aendruk, i agree
[04:38] <ruser> NictraSavios: i was talking about package info browsing on the web.
[04:38] <NictraSavios> aendruk, I'm on Arch Linux.
[04:38] <rinkukokiri> NictraSavios, you *could* go build yourself a gentoo system and leave us to our gui's
[04:38] <rinkukokiri> would save some time
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> aendruk: its for all levels of use, its main target is new users but it can be as gritty as you wish
[04:38] <NictraSavios> rinkukokiri, Gentoo is too stupid in the way it handles packages. Nothing agaist the distro, its the repo managers I disklike.
[04:39] <Iron_Chef> aendruk: that's rubbish, most of the Linux Sysadmins at HP and IBM use ubuntu on their desktops too
[04:39] <Madpilot> NictraSavios, so you're here being rude, and you're not even using Ubuntu? Are you here for any other purpose than calling people "noobs"?
[04:39] <plandoll12> anyone tried running sensors-applet for gnome?
[04:39] <NictraSavios> No... I was here to ask about shh. He started .
[04:39] <NictraSavios> ssh*
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | plandoll12
[04:39] <supermikey> hmmm...i can't seem to find anywhere to get the b43 kernel source.  i've only done the sudo apt-get b43-fwcutter thing.  but there's no b43 driver listed under hardware
[04:40] <UbuntuQ> Hello there
[04:40] <NictraSavios> I was wondering what the GUI ubuntu used for its connections was. I find it rather quick, more so then putty/gftp. Since it opens them in nautilus automaticly, It can be useful.
[04:40] <plandoll12> ok then... I can't add sensors-applet to my desktop bar
[04:40] <rinkukokiri> NictraSavios, and FYI, people come here for support..  if a gui can provide that, so be it.
[04:40] <aendruk> ActionParsnip, Iron_Chef: Ubuntu is certainly no *only* for newbies. I only mean to correct NictraSavios's arrogant dismissal of GUI methods in an operating system that is designed to be inviting to inexperienced users as well.
[04:41] <seraphimblade> Ubuntu is not only for newbies. And I work with several sysadmins and programmers who use Ubuntu, GUI and all.
[04:41] <rinkukokiri> so again...
[04:41] <UbuntuQ> Who can help me take care of this on my boot.log
[04:41] <rinkukokiri> !offtopic | NictraSavios
[04:41] <NictraSavios> rinkukokiri, FYI, Im here for support, You started it.
[04:41] <rinkukokiri> no you started it by "eww gui" at me
[04:42] <NictraSavios> rinkukokiri, You have no right to argue my opinion.
[04:42] <rinkukokiri> and by generally being an anal retentive rude sys admin
[04:42] <UbuntuQ> mm
[04:42] <NictraSavios> rinkukokiri, I am rude to those who are rude to me.
[04:42] <UbuntuQ> */etc/rc2.d/S20.depend.boot: 1: TARGETS: not found
[04:42] <Iron_Chef> NictraSavios: that's a gnome question I think people are saying, dunno, but anyway it's Nautilus that makes the connection, I find it quite a bit slower than scp, but it's good for say dropping in a new html file.
[04:43] <quickslvr> Has anyone tried running vSphere client using wine on Ubuntu?
[04:43] <Japaln> Hey i have a problem with gnome when i login.. i have taken a screenshot of it at http://goo.gl/Pt2E can you please help me?
[04:43] <Madpilot> NictraSavios, rinkukokiri - can it, OK? Both of you.
[04:43] <rinkukokiri> i got no beef
[04:43] <supermikey> would anyone be willing to walk me through getting b43 drivers installed and working on 10.04?  plz?  :)
[04:43] <UbuntuQ> */etc/rc2.d/S20.depend.boot: 2: INTERACTIVE: not found
[04:43] <plandoll12> I can't add sensors-applet to my desktop bar.. anyone else had this problem?
[04:43] <NictraSavios> You obviously do , If keeping it alive.
[04:43] <seraphimblade> So, I'd like to get some opinions on this, if possible.
[04:43] <Iron_Chef> seraphimblade: yikes, don't ask for opinions in here ;-)
[04:44] <Japaln> Hey i have a problem with gnome when i login.. i have taken a screenshot of it at http://goo.gl/Pt2E can you please help me?
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> plandoll12: try in classic desktop (if you use unity desktop)
[04:44] <UbuntuQ> Who can help me take care of this on my boot.log
[04:44] <Iron_Chef> everyone seems to have them, and they are all different
[04:44] <NictraSavios> Iron_Chef, I find it just slick. Ive never quite found an equall to it, CLI or GUI. Hmm... means I might have to stop using open box and install gnome 3... Oh well.
[04:44] <UbuntuQ> */etc/rc2.d/S20.depend.boot: 2: INTERACTIVE: not found
[04:44] <rinkukokiri> !ops japaln
[04:44] <plandoll12> ActionParsnip: I'm using the classic desktop with 11.04
[04:44] <Iron_Chef> NictraSavios: tried installing nautilus by itself?  it might want all of gnome as deps though...
[04:44] <plandoll12> ActionParsnip: I try to add the sensors applet to the desktop bar on the top and it's not in the meny
[04:45] <seraphimblade> Unfortunately I can't get online from the affected machine, since eth0 is not being detected at all after a recent power outage/reboot. It's an onboard Ethernet card on an ASUS M3N78
[04:45] <Logan_> Corey: Wrong one.
[04:45] <rationalOgre> UbuntuQ: bastebin the contents of /etc/rc2.d/S20.depend.boot
[04:45] <Logan_> Core_UK: oops, vnm
[04:45] <Logan_> *corey
[04:45] <seraphimblade> Iron_Chef: Walked right into that one, didn't I?
[04:45] <Iron_Chef> heheh
[04:45] <edwardthefma> hey
[04:45] <rationalOgre> s/bastebin/pastebin
[04:45] <androidbruce> ActionParsnip, if the xbmc interface isn't up is it still working?
[04:45] <Corey> Logan_: Doh.
[04:45] <rinkukokiri> logan he got the right one
[04:45] <NictraSavios> Iron_Chef, Yea it dose. I tried that a while ago. I midaswell get the DE. I've been meaning to give gnome 3 a spin anyway, thanks
[04:45] <Iron_Chef> NictraSavios: nps
[04:45] <edwardthefma> how do i change the grub boot order in ubuntu
[04:46] <edwardthefma> lubuntu
[04:46] <Iron_Chef> edwardthefma: in grub 2 it's /etc/defaults / something
[04:46] <edwardthefma> lolxbuntu i mean
[04:46] <NictraSavios> /etc/defaults/grub
[04:46] <edwardthefma> ok
[04:46] <seraphimblade> I'm at rather a loss here. It was showing up perfectly before the system lost power. Rebooted it, and dead nothing, not in dmesg, no nothing. I only show lo in ipconfig.
[04:46] <UbuntuQ> ok
[04:46] <Hilikus> does anyone know of a way i can control my mouse from an android phone?
[04:46] <Iron_Chef> edwardthefma: grub2 is totally different to grub1 if you were familiar with it
[04:47] <UbuntuQ> 1sec
[04:47] <UbuntuQ> i got u
[04:47] <edwardthefma> ok
[04:47] <rationalOgre> seraphimblade: sudo lshw -C network ?
[04:47] <Iron_Chef> Hilikus: cool, i want to do that too :-)
[04:47] <NictraSavios> Hilikus, Theres an app probably. I know one for iphone. But, the best might be teamveiwer if its on andriod
[04:47] <edwardthefma> well im using what came default with xbuntu
[04:47] <fritzophrenic> I feel like an idiot for not being able to find this, but when I enabled the Unity desktop, by default it has an unreadable black-on-dark-gray text on the top bar. How do I change the color? I've been googling for about 45 minutes now and cannot figure it out.
[04:48] <aendruk> So no one here knows how the symbolic links in /etc/rc1.d/ are generated?
[04:48] <rinkukokiri> Hilikus, you /might/ be able to do it via bluetooth
[04:48] <TheLifelessOne> Hi, I just installed Ubuntu via the minimal ISO, and am now attempting to install OpenBox. How do I do this, and ensure OpenBox loads as it should?
[04:48] <rationalOgre> aendruk: update-rc.d generates them from the scripts in /etc/init.d/
[04:48] <NictraSavios> fritzophrenic, Right clikc on desktop, change backround, go to another one of the tabs, :P
[04:48] <rationalOgre> aendruk: using some pretty complicated "logic".
[04:48] <rationalOgre> (said with intentional scare quotes)
[04:49] <rationalOgre> (because the logic is scary...)
[04:49] <NictraSavios> TheLifelessOne, for ubuntu? should be as easy as apt-get install openbox :P
[04:49] <TheLifelessOne> NictraSavios: I've done that, but a reboot doesn't do anything.
[04:49] <rationalOgre> aendruk: They are generally symlinks to the various scripts in /etc/init.d/
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> fritzophrenic: are you fully updated?
[04:49] <TheLifelessOne> All it's telling me is 'mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth'.
[04:49] <fritzophrenic> "another one of the tabs", the only one I found that makes sense is the "Theme" tab, and there's a few font colors if I click "customize" but none of them seem to affect the top bar
[04:49] <UbuntuQ> TARGETS = INTERACTIVE =
[04:50] <TheLifelessOne> I'm not sure if this matters, but there was no window manager installed before hand.
