[10:44] <afsal> BlueEagle: in /usr/share/background . But that not empty
[10:45] <crizzy> i have no experience with intel cards, it may or may not be possible to install newer/better drivers for it. can't help there :)
[10:45] <the^user> Ben64,  i have a nother question if i do formated itb to ntfs , dan it works only i think the turbo stream dont work any more then ?
[10:45] <ix_> BlueEagle, I google stuff before I ask
[10:45] <crizzy> with amd/nvidia, it would Just Work(tm)
[10:45] <suzanne> the^user,  is is swap or extended partation
[10:45] <kevin_> The same crappy game is more graphically demanding on Linux than Windows?
[10:45] <crizzy> probably not
[10:45] <crizzy> if you would just have working drivers, it would work more or less the same
[10:45] <kevin_> I don't understand then, because it's all on the same computer
[10:46] <stoic> I guess the question is is there something more i need to do after enabling lucid-partner repositories to get xubuntu to recognize it ?
[10:46] <suzanne> kevin_, what  game is it?
[10:46] <crizzy> graal
[10:46] <crizzy> and what is left, is purely a driver issue
[10:46] <crizzy> with some onboard intel car
[10:46] <afsal> BlueEagle: in /usr/share/background . But that not empty
[10:46] <crizzy> *card
[10:47] <user__> kevin_: the driver is a piece of software you need to install to let other programs use the hardware, you installed the driver software in windows but not in linux
[10:47] <the^user> suzanne, ubuntu dont know the partition extention what wd mypaspoort use, so i cant say if it is swap or extended
[10:47] <crizzy> well, i can't help more with this, sorry :) )(and i'm off to lunch, bb >>)
[10:48] <kevin_> thanks for all the help crizzy
[10:48] <afsal> BlueEagle: in /usr/share/background . But that not empty, the images cannot be open
[10:48] <kevin_> user_ i don't recall installing any drivers for the game :P
[10:49] <kevin_> how can i get the driver besides package manager?
[10:49] <user__> you dont install drivers for a game but for your hardware device, all games that needed hw accel would use the same driver
[10:49] <afsal> BlueEagle: I re-installed the ubuntu-wallpapers but same happening
[10:50] <kevin_> How am I supposed to get the drivers without the Package Manager though? Unless you know which one i need to look up in the manager..
[10:50] <user__> kevin_: whats the graphics card again+
[10:50] <visual1ce> im trying to get a boot cd going to flash my bios. i'm following the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318789 but when i try to move files over to the mount directory i get the error: no space left on device
[10:50] <kevin_> (laughing stock of the neighborhood) Mobile Intel 4 Chipset x.x
[10:51] <BlueEagle> afsal: Check the packages containing 'artwork' and see if you're missing any.
[10:51] <ikonia> kevin_: you won't need "drivers" for intel cards
[10:51] <ikonia> kevin_: they are part of xorg
[10:51] <BlueEagle> afsal: Sorry, I misread your post.
[10:51] <kevin_> What do I need then? :(
[10:52] <BlueEagle> afsal: If they are not readable you need to either make your user a member of the group (provided that the group has read access) or make the files group (or world) readable.
[10:53] <ikonia> kevin_: you need to configure xorg to be able to utilise the 3d capabilities of your card, if it's a supported card
[10:53] <BlueEagle> afsal: To do this first enter this in a terminal `ls -la /usr/share/background` to show the owner and group along with the permissions.
[10:53] <afsal> BlueEagle: and the software-center not opening...
[10:54] <BlueEagle> afsal: If the software center is not opening you can use command line tools.
[10:54] <BlueEagle> afsal: ...but it does sound like you have a somewhat broken system.
[10:54] <kevin_> I don't know anything about xorg lol and how to utilise it
[10:54] <afsal> BlueEagle: permission for 'root'
[10:55] <ikonia> kevin_: you'll probably need to create a custom xorg.conf file to force xorg to use the correct graphics driver in xorg and enable 3D support
[10:55] <user__> kevin_ could you pastebin the output of inxi -G
[10:55] <BlueEagle> afsal: so the files are owned by root:root and the pemissions are -rwx-r---- or somesuch?
[10:55] <ikonia> kevin_: that is assuming that card is supported in linux
[10:55] <suzanne> !xrog | kevin_
[10:56] <kevin_> well i'm not sure, because i installed linux on here. the computer came as a windows 7 comp
[10:56] <afsal> BlueEagle: -rw-r--r-- showing this
[10:56] <suzanne> !xorg | kevin_
[10:56] <ikonia> kevin_: the card should be, most intel ones are support
[10:56] <Ben64> if it came with win7, it should be a recent card
[10:57] <BlueEagle> afsal: That line shows permissions for owner, group and world prefixed by a directory flag so if the last group of three has r in it then the file is world readable.
[10:57] <BlueEagle> afsal: The next thing to check is if you have access to the directory.
[10:57] <BlueEagle> afsal: Did you do the ls -la as a user or as root?
[10:57] <BlueEagle> ....and he left.
[10:58] <kevin_> This is making no sense guys..
[10:58] <ikonia> kevin_: it's making perfect sense
[10:58] <ikonia> kevin_: within linux your video card does not auto configure to use it's 3d capabilities
[10:59] <ikonia> kevin_: that means you have to manually configure it, providing the card has 3d support options for linux
[10:59] <kevin_> :O
[10:59] <kevin_> i'm pretty sure it has the compatability, i just need to lear how to configure it
[10:59] <user__> kevin_: sudo cd /usr/local/bin && wget -Nc smxi.org/inxi && chmod +x inxi
[10:59] <ikonia> kevin_: not all cards have support/compatability in Linux
[11:00] <user__> kevin_: the run inxi -G so we can knoz the exact type of graphics card
[11:00] <suzanne> BlueEagle,  you did good  better what i could of done...)
[11:00] <jatt> gnome 3 doesn't work with my radeon card (garbled fonts) is this a known issue?
[11:00] <kevin_> http://pastebin.com/Fmu5caqM
[11:00] <ikonia> jatt: ati has numerous support issues
[11:01] <DarkStar1> hi. Is there a log for system uptime's as well as last resets, power downs, etc?
[11:01] <BlueEagle> suzanne: Thank you. :)
[11:02] <ikonia> DrShoggoth: the syslog will show reboots, as will the commands "uptime" and "last"
[11:02] <kevin_> darkstar1, uptime is one
[11:02] <ikonia> oops DarkStar1 ^
[11:03] <user__> kevin_: do the command between "&&" one after another in console, first cd /usr/local/bin   then sudo wget -Nc smxi.org/inxi and then   sudo chmod +x inxi
[11:03] <suzanne> Blue1,  welcome ... this is a community " all hangs in the balance Greatness through servitude , and wisedom through desire
[11:05] <kevin_> http://pastebin.com/sL7X6jQC
[11:05] <DarkStar1> ikonia: kevin_  thx guys
[11:05] <user__> kevin_ now you have to pastebin the outptu of inxi -G
[11:06] <ikonia> no he doesn't
[11:06] <ikonia> it was a 302
[11:06] <Tixlegeek__> Hi!
[11:06] <ikonia> ah, it's a symlink
[11:06] <kevin_> http://pastebin.com/4zKmHE6g
[11:07] <afsal> BlueEagle: sorry ..Network error
[11:07] <BlueEagle> afsal: That happens. Did you do the `ls -la` as root or normal user?
[11:07] <ashii> is there an application that can pickup colors in gnome?
[11:07] <ashii> like a color picker?
[11:08] <ashii> on diffrent applications and background?
[11:08] <afsal> BlueEagle: root
[11:08] <iceroot> ashii: gpick
[11:08] <user__> kevin_: you need to install missing packages the script needs, currently it is complaining about gawk not being installed so run: sudo apt-get install gawk
[11:08] <Tixlegeek__> Tell me, can someone tell me why the debian based distributions are responding to broadcasted ping, even if sysctl net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts is set to 1 by default
[11:08] <Tixlegeek__> ?
[11:09] <afsal> BlueEagle: as root..
[11:09] <Tixlegeek__> this value seems to be inverted
[11:09] <Tixlegeek__> and i don't know why
[11:10] <kevin_> okay gawk has been added
[11:10] <BlueEagle> afsal: Ok. Then you most likely no longer have access to the directory. In order try this and see which one does not end with an x in the privilege string `ls -la /|grep usr`, `ls -la /usr|grep share` and `ls -la /usr/share|grep background`
[11:11] <user__> kevin_: try to run inxi -G again
[11:11] <ljsoftnet> how do i change the fonts in ubuntu 11.10?
[11:11] <BlueEagle> afsal: when you find the one missing the ending x do `chmod a+x /path/to/directory` where /path/to/directory is the path to the offending directory.
[11:11] <kevin_> http://pastebin.com/X7dEGRRL
[11:11] <MonkeyDust> ljsoftnet  right click on the desktop, properties, choose fonts
[11:12] <ljsoftnet> MonkeyDust its not there
[11:12] <afsal> BlueEagle: all the dirs are ending 'x'
[11:13] <afsal> BlueEagle: all the dirs are ending 'x' like this 'drwxr-xr-x'
[11:13] <Tixlegeek__> noone?
[11:14] <kevin_> user_  http://pastebin.com/X7dEGRRL
[11:15] <afsal> BlueEagle: all the dirs are ending 'x' like this 'drwxr-xr-x  root root  4096 2012-01-19 16:32'
[11:15] <BlueEagle> afsal: Hmm.. So if you try as a regular user: `ls -la /usr/share/background` you do get a list of files?
[11:16] <afsal> BlueEagle: yes..
[11:16] <BlueEagle> afsal: Then the user does have access to the files. However the files may be corrupt (ie. not containing valid image data)
[11:17] <BlueEagle> afsal: Please try to open the file in Gimp or similar image viewer.
[11:18] <kevin_> user_ you there?
[11:19] <JBunny> i need to burn an iso to usb
[11:20] <BlueEagle> JBunny: Technically USB-s are not burned. Do you need to boot and install ubuntu from that USB?
[11:21] <kevin_> Seems like i was getting pretty close to a solution, but it seems the guy that was helping me has left.
[11:21] <afsal> BlueEagle: my image viewers are not working... But it opening in firefox...
[11:22] <BlueEagle> afsal: Are you receiving any error messages when attempting to open the image viewers?
[11:22] <BlueEagle> afsal: Sounds like you really should boot from a livecd and fsck your linux partitions.
[11:22] <BlueEagle> !fsck
[11:23] <BlueEagle> afsal: Actually do the touch /forcefsck thingy and reboot.
[11:23] <BlueEagle> afsal: Not sure if you need to do that on all partitions though.
[11:24] <afsal> BlueEagle: ok.. i'm  going to do that
[11:24] <PlayerOne> my fullscreen size seems different under different users, anyone got a clue where to configure this?
[11:24] <shomon> Hi - I keep getting these squares appearing on my dual monitor setup, they appear as remnants of what was there before, and then go grey. Anyone had this?
[11:24] <shomon> I don't know if it's due to nvidia's support for sopa that's censoring my desktop..
[11:25] <DarkStar1> Hi. I have an issue with the locale of the system. I have a web app which gets the currency locale and even though the output of locale says LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8" somehow the software is still getting the currency in £s
[11:25] <DarkStar1> is there any place else where the locale of the system might be overriding this?
[11:26] <DarkStar1> sorry I meant are there any other system variables that might over ride this
[11:26] <DarkStar1> ?
[11:30] <user__> kevin_: pastebin the output of lshw -C display
[11:32] <kevin_> http://pastebin.com/7g4ZEVbp
[11:32] <shomon> does anyone know how to fix ubuntu monitor problems? grey boxes appearing everywhere... Also when I bring up the menus on one monitor, it hides the foreground in the other one
[11:34] <user__> kevin_ you need to type "display" behind it
[11:34] <Jonny> hey everyone
[11:35] <DarsVaeda> how do I get rid of those new scrollbars?
[11:35] <Jonny> Just having a prob rendering anything with kdenlive, has ayone else faced this recently?
[11:35] <kevin_> http://pastebin.com/8SkJ9xGt
[11:35] <Jonny> everything worked ok previously

[11:40] <MonkeyDu1t> 60 million ciao!-list italians more to go
[11:40] <DarsVaeda> shomon: yeah me too
[11:40] <conntrack> haha
[11:40] <kevin_> it's been run
[11:40] <DarsVaeda> problem is they do not work -.-
[11:41] <shomon> well I can never find them...
[11:41] <DarsVaeda> they do not work in some apps
[11:41] <DarsVaeda> just no functionallity
[11:41] <user__> kevin_: did it install some new packages? if it did restart your x session
[11:41] <DarsVaeda> I found other packages to remove to get rid of them
[11:42] <DarsVaeda> I try i out and tell you if it worked ;)
[11:42] <Jonny> its weird how both openshot and also kdenlive are not working :s
[11:42] <shomon> ah I didn't get that.. if I jiggled things around it'll find them, but if they don't work it's usually because there are other widgets in the way
[11:42] <shomon> yes please DarsVaeda :)
[11:42] <kevin_> i feel like a dipshit but what is an xsession?
[11:42] <Jonny> does ayone knoe what could be the issue?
[11:42] <Jonny> :s
[11:42] <ikonia> kevin_: tone down the langauge
[11:42] <shomon> lol
[11:43] <MonkeyDust> Jonny  find out what the common factor is and work on that
[11:43] <user__> kevin_: just reboot
[11:43] <shomon> xsession isn't a swear word. it's a session in X11 isn't it?
[11:44] <Jonny> MokeyDust, i am just running it through terminal at the momet
[11:44] <kevin_> when i reboot the game should run?
[11:44] <Jonny> i think somethig has happend sice an update
[11:45] <user__> kevin_: maybe
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> Jonny  openshot and kdenlive are no terminal commands, are they?
[11:45] <Jonny> i just started it through terminal to see when it crashes
[11:46] <Jonny> this is what i have in terms of an error : Failed to import 'from openshot import main'
[11:47] <DarsVaeda> shomon: sudo apt-get remove overlay-scrollbar liboverlay-scrollbar3-0.2-0 liboverlay-scrollbar-0.2-0
[11:47] <DarsVaeda> that worked for me
[11:47] <MangoBoy>  hi. Hope you all are well. Automatic connect does'n't work on my mobile broadband connection in network manager. What can i do?
[11:48] <shomon> thanks DarsVaeda !
[11:48] <MangoBoy> I have asked at #nm but no one answers there
[11:48] <DarsVaeda> np
[11:49] <kevin_> hmm
[11:49] <DarsVaeda> just a few years and I have configured unity back as it was ^^
[11:49] <agula> #kalisz
[11:50] <shomon> I must have a different version of those libraries DarsVaeda ... but I'll find the right version..
[11:50] <DarsVaeda> I'm on 11.10
[11:50] <MonkeyDust> DarsVaeda  you can download a PPA for MyUnity
[11:50] <shomon> ah, 11.04
[11:51] <Jonny> damn :s
[11:51] <Jonny> is there something wrong with the latest kdenlive repo?
[11:54] <Jonny> i think i have the development repo which could cause these errors
[11:55] <fosa_> where does phpmyadmin install to?
[11:55] <kevin_> I still can't get that stupid game to run >:(
[11:56] <MonkeyDust> kevin_  has it worked before? if not, then maybe it's just not possible
[11:56] <user__> kevin_ can you output info of glxinfo
[11:57] <hiexpo> fosa_, it tells you in the termina l
[11:57] <fosa_> hiexpa: what tells me?
[11:57] <kevin_> http://pastebin.com/iU60qVnh
[11:58] <bullgard6> Nautilus lists all file entries in the column "Owner"with login name ans user name. How can I get rid of the user name there?
[11:59] <bullgard6> Nautilus lists all file entries in the column "Owner" with login name and user name. How can I get rid of the user name there?
[11:59] <MonkeyDust> bullgard6  edit, preferences, list columns
[12:00] <bullgard6> MonkeyDust: Your answer is false.
[12:01] <MonkeyDust> 'false'?
[12:01] <bullgard6> yes.
[12:01] <user__> kevin_ pastebin output of ldd /usr/bin/glxinfo
[12:02] <hiexpo> fosa_, when you install it > it tells you where everything is going in the terminal
[12:02] <fosa_> hiexpo, i installed it a long time ago
[12:02] <kevin_> http://pastebin.com/BsNKXeeg
[12:03] <hiexpo> fosa_, than use find command
[12:04] <fosa_> hiexpo, i'm not familiar with that.. how would i do a search for phpymadmin ?
[12:04] <hiexpo> find phpymadmin
[12:05] <fosa_> hiexpo, no such file or directory..
[12:05] <LjL> hiexpo: that's not the way "find" works...
[12:05] <LjL> fosa_: have you installed it using APT?
[12:06] <fosa_> LjL, yes i believe so
[12:06] <LjL> fosa_: then "dpkg -L phpmyadmin | grep bin"
[12:06] <OerHeks> MonkeyDust, thnx, you are right
[12:06] <hiexpo> oops sorry your right LjL
[12:06] <MonkeyDust> OerHeks  ? what did i say?
[12:06] <hiexpo> sorry fosa_
[12:06] <fosa_> LjL, ahh okay thank you very much
[12:07] <LjL> fosa_: in general, "dpkg -L" will list all the contents of a package. you can also use "dpkg -S filename" to search for a given filename, it will tell you which package contains it.

[12:08] <Faralla> Hi. I just compiled a custom kernel for oneiric, but in grub it shows up in the "Previous Linux versions" submenu. I can I make grub move it to top level?
[12:09] <jnssts93> fracos
[12:09] <theadmin> Faralla: Probably move the menuentry to another file in /etc/grub.d/
[12:09] <fosa_> LjL, ahh okay thanks so much, i'll remember that :)
[12:10] <SpenserWilde> Hi all.
[12:10] <Faralla> theadmin: How?= From what i've seen, the entries in grub.d are quite complex
[12:10] <theadmin> Faralla: Just rip out the existing entry, create a new file (with proper naming syntax) and paste it there -- I'm no fan of grub2 so I can't tell it more precisely
[12:10] <theadmin> !grub2 | Faralla
[12:11] <nielz> does anyone know how to remove a mount option from a disk (set via the gui) in ubuntu 9.04?
[12:11] <nielz> I set a bad option, now the disk won't mount but I can't find where to unset the option
[12:11] <SpenserWilde> I have a problem with a Broadcom 4313 14e4:4727 wireless card. After blacklisting "bcma" and "brcmsmac", it catches the wireless signal by simply refuses to connect to it. Can someone help me please?
[12:11] <theadmin> nielz: Option?... I don't think we even set mouse options via the GUI at all
[12:11] <phibxr> nielz, you should be able to edit /etc/fstab
[12:12] <nielz> theadmin: mount option for a disk
[12:12] <theadmin> nielz: Anyway, unless it's the root drive, you should edit /etc/fstab manually
[12:12] <nielz> phibxr: /etc/fstab doesn't contain it
[12:12] <theadmin> nielz: err, s/mouse/mount/, sorry, idk what I was thinking about xD
[12:12] <LjL> nielz: (also, 9.04 is unsupported, you should upgrade)
[12:12] <theadmin> nielz: Add it to fstab then, what's the big deal with that
[12:13] <phibxr> nielz, if it's not in fstab, you haven't saved any mount options for it. what makes it seem like a mount option related issue? do you get an error message when you attempt to mount it manually?
[12:15] <nielz> phibxr: I set the mount option via the gui (right click on mounted disk on desktop, then properties), since then the disk won't mount and I'm getting a message "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume."
[12:16] <Kartagis> !grub2
[12:16] <nielz> theadmin: the big deal is I got 25 of these devices and I need to configure some mount options which must preferably be set via the gui some I don't have to do it myself :)
[12:16] <xsl> Hi all, anyone has problems with D-Link PCI network cards ( r8169 driver ) with IRQ Interrupts?
[12:16] <oopepe> Hi, how do i save and restore my open windows upon logout/login in ubuntu 11.10?
[12:17] <fosa_> LjL, so if i do dpkg -S php.ini | grep bin it should spit out where the php.ini file is?
[12:17] <theadmin> nielz: GUI is evil.
[12:17] <nielz> phibxr: mounting manually will work fine, issue is with automounting
[12:17] <theadmin> nielz: I don't even know *how* to set mount options via the GUI
[12:18] <Jonny> Has anyone received this error with kdenlive "missing MLT's SDL Module not found"
[12:18] <nielz> theadmin: yet I need to do it via the gui, I know how to mount a drive manually or via fstab
[12:18] <Jonny> dant sort it
[12:18] <LjL> fosa_: no, no, "dpkg -S" gives you a package name. it tells you which *package* the file is in. "grep bin" only makes sense for "dpkg -L", because it filters out file entries that don't contain "bin", so you basically only get the executable files
[12:18] <Jonny> cant seem to sort it
[12:18] <nielz> theadmin: but I have no set the option and it must be stored *somewhere*
[12:18] <LjL> fosa_: if you want to know where php.ini is, do "dpkg -L php | grep php.ini"
[12:19] <bedlamb_> #java
[12:19] <theadmin> nielz: dconf probably.
[12:20] <Jonny> the MLT SDL error seems to be a common error though not able to find a fix
[12:20] <Jonny> can anyone shed any light on this?
[12:21] <Thodoris> i am searching for a C++ compiler for ubuntu
[12:21] <LjL> !info g++ | Thodoris
[12:21] <Thodoris> is there anyone that knows something ?
[12:22] <fosa_> LjL, ahh okay now i understand it.. though im curious, if a file is created in a packages folder after the installation process, can it still be found this way?
[12:22] <LjL> fosa_: no
[12:22] <LjL> fosa_: but config files usually come in the package
[12:22] <LjL> fosa_: php.ini definitely does
[12:25] <Priyanka> hi
[12:26] <Priyanka> hi gepatino
[12:26] <nielz> theadmin: I found it in .gconf/system/storage/volumes, dunno if that is dconf though, but I found it :)
[12:26] <theadmin> nielz: Yeah. But don't touch that manually. Use gconf-editor.
[12:26] <theadmin> nielz: Or else you might make GNOME unusable
[12:28] <llsam> hello

[12:31] <theadmin> llsam: That's not a big deal. Create a new user. Or remove gnome setting folders of the current one.
[12:31] <llsam> theadmin: i was chmoded already /etc/gconf/gconf.xnl.system but it dosnt solve
[12:31] <Jonny> been having a prob with Openshot at the moment as well
[12:32] <Jonny> I will give VLMC another go
[12:32] <llsam> theadmin: i am now in recovery mode . I ve got also this error pompt in the console:
[12:33] <chrionix> Guys, whenever I repair my grub boot loader, windows boot breaks. Anyone ever heard of this before?
[12:33] <MonkeyDust> !grub| chrionix
[12:34] <llsam> theadmin: mktemp: failed to creTE FILE VIA TEMPLATE /TMP/ELEKTRAENV.XXXXX...
[12:34] <chrionix> MonkeyDust: You didn't read my question. I'm the opposite, windows boot has broken after repairing grub, not vice versa.
[12:35] <theadmin> llsam: That's weird, haven't heard of that before. Oh well: sudo mount -o remount,rw / && sudo rm -r /home/your_username/.* && sync && sudo mount -o remount,ro / && sudo reboot -f
[12:35] <MonkeyDust> chrionix  maybe you find some useful hints on those pages
[12:35] <theadmin> llsam: That will remove all your user's configs, allowing them to be recreated.
[12:35] <chrionix> MonkeyDust: No, I won't. I've read those pages.
[12:36] <MonkeyDust> ok
[12:37] <llsam> theadmin: yes exactly..i couldnt fin any answares on the web for this error...so you suggest i to use those comands above? sorry im just simply user, not a geek
[12:38] <theadmin> llsam: I can see that, don't worry, yes, run those from the recovery mode's root shell
[12:38] <llsam> theadmin: okay, I will do that..thnk you  very much
[12:38] <theadmin> llsam: Make sure to type them EXACTLY as they are. Linux is case-sensetive, so "sudo" and "SuDo" and "SUDO" are not the same thing (and only the first will work), too. All the symbols are also important.
[12:39] <llsam> theadmin: okay, i will be careful
[12:40] <Tellmarch> hey, i've just installed ubuntu 10.04 on a new desktop computer with a nvidia GTX 560 graphics card. xorg uses the nouveau driver by default, can't go above 1024x768, which is quite awful on my 24" screen.
[12:40] <Tellmarch> how to install the nvidia drivers?
[12:41] <theadmin> Tellmarch: Check jockey. Also, sometimes Xorg can't auto-detect the video card, you might want a separate section in xorg.conf for that
[12:41] <phibxr> Tellmarch, just bring up the Dash and search for Additional Drivers.
[12:41] <phibxr> Tellmarch, oh, 10.04. no dash then.
[12:42] <phibxr> Tellmarch, find "Additional Drivers" under the System menu somewhere. :)
[12:42] <Tellmarch> the "Hardware drivers" menu options find nothing to use
[12:42] <Jonny> funy everytime i import a file in openshop it crashes :)
[12:42] <Tellmarch> (the list is empty)
[12:42] <Jonny> love it :)
[12:42] <phibxr> Tellmarch, then grab the drivers straight from NVIDIA: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[12:42] <theadmin> Tellmarch: Hm, then you're pretty ducked, probably search nvidia.com
[12:42] <Tellmarch> ok, thanks
[12:42] <llsam> theadmin: just one quastion: should i rite all this senrtence at one line in the console or is the / just a break betwenn each commands?
[12:42] <Tellmarch> that's what i would have done, wondered if there was a more "ubuntu" way
[12:43] <phibxr> Tellmarch, keep in mind if you're using a system with both an intel and an nvidia-card that your nvidia-card probably is inactive.

[12:43] <Tellmarch> oh.
[12:43] <Tellmarch> that might be the problem
[12:43] <theadmin> llsam: It's a single line, also, "&&" means a new command (though you can either hit Enter OR type "&&", it's the same stuff)
[12:43] <theadmin> !unicode | nigus
[12:43] <Tellmarch> it's a i7-2600, so there should be an intel HD2000 somewhere...
[12:43] <theadmin> Bah
[12:43] <Tellmarch> how to fix that?
[12:43] <phibxr> Tellmarch, usually you can toggle a 'Compatible'-switch in BIOS which will disable the Intel-card. that's what I have done on my UL30VT.
[12:43] <llsam> theadmin: ok. i understand. Do you have any idea why my problem apears?
[12:44] <theadmin> llsam: Because gnome configs are messed up
[12:44] <Jonny> complete bs, some of the best video editors on liux and they are broken :P
[12:44] <Ben64> Tellmarch: don't get the drivers from nvidia.com
[12:44] <suzanne> guest session , is there a way to have it on the logon manager?
[12:44] <llsam> theadmin: hmmm...whish i did it by self
[12:44] <Ben64> phibxr: don't direct people to nvidia.com to get drivers
[12:44] <llsam> ok i try now to recover the settings
[12:45] <Tellmarch> phibxr, on the other hand, it's nouveau driver that is used
[12:45] <Tellmarch> so it sees the nvidia card i guess
[12:45] <miko_mirane> hello
[12:45] <Tellmarch> (plus it works on the dual booted windows seven)
[12:45] <Tellmarch> Ben64, how to install them then?
[12:45] <miko_mirane> is this the right place where I can ask questions about ubuntu?
[12:46] <Ben64> Tellmarch: Hardware Drivers, or install from synaptic
[12:46] <theadmin> miko_mirane: Yeah.
[12:46] <Tellmarch> Ben64, it's not in hardware drivers. what package to use with synaptic?
[12:46] <miko_mirane> okay, well, im having troubles with dapper and the openthinclient developer package
[12:46] <Ben64> Tellmarch: search for nvidia, it will likely be nvidia-new
[12:47] <miko_mirane> btw
[12:47] <miko_mirane> nvidia is in the restricted hardware section
[12:47] <miko_mirane> from there you can dl a third-party driver
[12:47] <objectivityiskey> Hello
[12:48] <Tellmarch> lots of answer with apt-cache search... can it be "nvidia-current"?
[12:49] <miko_mirane> Tellmarch, what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[12:49] <Tellmarch> 10.04
[12:49] <Tellmarch> (LTS)
[12:49] <Ben64> Tellmarch: that should work, but you sure its not in Hardware Drivers?
[12:49] <Tellmarch> yes, i checked
[12:49] <Tellmarch> it doesn't offer anything there
[12:50] <miko_mirane> that's odd
[12:50] <Ben64> Tellmarch: http://www.ben64.com/hardwaredrivers.png
[12:50] <Ben64> nothing like that?
[12:50] <miko_mirane> well, tried messing with the boot options?
[12:50] <miko_mirane> so that it can recognize nvidia?
[12:50] <Tellmarch> Ben64, the list is empty here
[12:50] <Ben64> Tellmarch: then go for nvidia-current
[12:51] <Tellmarch> it sees an nvidia card, since it uses nouveau
[12:51] <Tellmarch> installing nvidia-current now
[12:55] <Tellmarch> uh.
[12:55] <Tellmarch> installed nvidia-current, ran nvidia-xconfig, rebooted
[12:55] <Tellmarch> not working '^^
[12:55] <Tellmarch> X is panicking
[12:56] <Ben64> Tellmarch: why nvidia-xconfig
[12:56] <Jonny> does anyone know if you can add title clips with pitivi>
[12:56] <Jonny> ?
[12:57] <Ben64> Tellmarch: and what is the output of "lspci | grep -i vga"
[12:57] <Tellmarch> Ben64, nvidia-xconfig because without it just used the same driver as before, nouveau
[12:58] <Tellmarch> and nvidia-settings asked me to do so
[12:58] <Tellmarch> as for the lspci output... trying to recover from the broken X...
[13:00] <Tellmarch> ;.. it's badly broken
[13:00] <Tellmarch> but from memory, there was a line about a nvidia VGA compatible, without specifics

[13:05] <Tellmarch> just that one
[13:05] <Mick27> Hello folks, anyone seeing weird behavior with mdadm in the latest release ?
[13:06] <Ben64> Tellmarch: you should create an xorg.conf
[13:06] <Tellmarch> Ben64, that's what nvidia-xconfig is supposed to do automatically
[13:06] <llsam> theadmin: hello, some trouble of xecuting command: sudo rm -r /home/us../.* couldnt remove
[13:06] <Ben64> Tellmarch: pastebin it then
[13:06] <theadmin> llsam: Huh. Any more details?
[13:06] <Tellmarch> no problem in the .conf
[13:07] <Tellmarch> but XOrg failed with "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernle module"
[13:07] <Ben64> that sounds like a problem
[13:07] <Tellmarch> yeah
[13:07] <SpenserWilde> Hi all.
[13:07] <Tellmarch> guess nvidia-current didn't install enough things

[13:10] <topata> so an help with this amarok ?
[13:10] <Ben64> Tellmarch: ls /lib/modules/*/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
[13:10] <llsam> theadmin: but something was change becouse my irssi screen mode was gone..so something was removed..
[13:11] <theadmin> llsam: Hm, I guess most stuff is removed anyway. Okay, try logging in again?
[13:11] <Tellmarch> Ben64, nothing there... it didn't install it
[13:11] <llsam> auronandace: im am tring to recover my messed gdm
[13:12] <llsam> theadmin: no..there are the same trouble and same errorors included gdm power manager complaining on the prompt
[13:12] <theadmin> llsam: Can you try creating a new user via one of the TTYs and using that?
[13:13] <Ben64> Tellmarch: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates?field.series_filter=lucid
[13:13] <llsam> theadmin: i would try it...could you give me proper commands?
[13:13] <Ben64> Tellmarch: add that ppa, and use nvidia drivers from there
[13:13] <theadmin> llsam: Just "adduser somebody"
[13:13] <llsam> ok
[13:13] <theadmin> llsam: Rather, "sudo adduser somebody"
[13:13] <llsam> hehe
[13:13] <llsam> sure
[13:14] <mxj> hi, all
[13:14] <Tellmarch> Ben64, hmm, do i need to purge what i installed before first?

[13:16] <wado> hi everybodu, in ubuntu 11.10 is there any keyboard shortcuts "ctrl+whatever"  to move between workspaces ? if there are no, can I customize this??
[13:17] <mxj> I find this http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/itsc/network/vpn/linuxvpn.html too complicated
[13:18] <Tellmarch> meanwhile, i have another problem, my ssh connection to my new PC regularly freezes, impossible to do anything... any idea what could be the source of that problem?
[13:18] <llsam> theadmin:i made sudo adduser XXX but it is complaining about the name
[13:19] <theadmin> llsam: You can't use usernames which contain anything but lowercase latin letters and numbers. Also, a username must start with a letter.
[13:19] <llsam> theadmin: this what the output says but now i cant any otheruser more#
[13:20] <Pseudoephedrine> Hi, i installed Ubuntu11.10 onto a new laptop the other day, and i unable to change the brightness of the screen.. just wondering if this is a known bug and if there is anyway to fix it?
[13:20] <Pseudoephedrine> im being blinded lol
[13:20] <llsam> theadmin: it allows only 2 names or something
[13:20] <theadmin> llsam: Err. Try, for example, "sudo adduser exampleuser"
[13:22] <llsam> theadmin: shoud i reboot now? i was succesful
[13:22] <theadmin> llsam: Well, if you want to, then "sudo reboot". You can also just restart your display manager.
[13:23] <llsam> theadmin: restart display
[13:23] <llsam> theadmin: BUT WHAT AFTER THAT?
[13:24] <theadmin> llsam: Err... Select the new user on the login screen
[13:24] <titash> hell
[13:24] <titash> hello*
[13:24] <theadmin> llsam: Also, I don't like being screamed at.
[13:24] <wado> hi everybodu, in ubuntu 11.10 is there any keyboard shortcuts "ctrl+whatever"  to move between workspaces ? if there are no, can I customize this??
[13:24] <Mick27> Still no mdadm expert here ?
[13:24] <llsam> theadmin: you know...im am verry worry that i probably have removed all my hgidden directory with so much scriupts in it.,..blender stuf and so..
[13:25] <llsam> theadmin: so sorry
[13:25] <Tellmarch> uh. so in addition to the graphics card, the network connection is working badly...
[13:25] <mxj> wado: is http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/2289.html useful to you
[13:26] <auronandace> llsam: why didn't you back them up before removing?

[13:27] <Chipzzz> Hi guys. I'm putting oneiric on a Dell d630 and I keep getting a message in the boot.log that says "FATAL: Error inserting pcc_cpufreq". The cpu seems to be scaling ok but the error worries me anyway... any suggestions?
[13:27] <wado> mxj : do you know how to customize these short cuts ?
[13:27] <JediMaster> hi guys, I'm trying to sort out networking on an Ubuntu VM running on Windows Hyper-V (yes, yuck, I know), having a bit of a headache. It was setup with legacy networking adaptor, but I was getting some really weird network issues, e.g. ping'ing bbc.co.uk would give 5000ms, 4000ms, 3000ms, 2000ms, 1000ms then 4ms (4ms is normal). So I've switched over to the normal network adaptor, and I've
[13:27] <JediMaster> got the hv-* modules in initrd and the network works fine, 4ms pings to bbc. However, the alias'ed network adaptors, eth0:0 and eth0:1 no longer work, any ideas?
[13:28] <auronandace> llsam: we all learn from our own mistakes :)
[13:28] <M0rriz> i really dont understand why i cant find any solution for updating ubuntu behind a firewall at university
[13:28] <M0rriz> is it that hard to fix this !?!?!?!?!?!
[13:28] <Myrtti> Chipzzz: if it makes you feel any better I'm on the exact same laptop right now and I don't have that error in mine
[13:28] <M0rriz> it almost forces me to ditch ubuntu and go back to windows
[13:28] <llsam> auronandace:puh...you couldnt imagine how im feeling now
[13:28] <theadmin> M0rriz: Huh, uh, what's the real problem with that? I think APT uses port 80 (or am I wrong?)
[13:28] <M0rriz> i cant do anything now
[13:29] <M0rriz> theadmin, i need to use a proxy setting i found a few solutions
[13:29] <M0rriz> but none work actually
[13:29] <M0rriz> searched the ubuntu forums
[13:29] <M0rriz> encountered many people with the same problem
[13:29] <M0rriz> but no solution
[13:29] <auronandace> llsam: at least now you won't likely repeat that mistake
[13:29] <Chipzzz> Myrtti: thanks for that... I really like the laptop & it runs oneiric really well... i'm just looking around to see what needs fixin' at this point
[13:30] <llsam> auronandace: never..but i feel realy lamed now..i am not a geek...normal user without much hackintg experience
[13:31] <M0rriz> theadmin, you see, this is what i get always, people ignoring me, thanks for that :)
[13:31] <theadmin> M0rriz: I ain't ignoring you, I just don't know the answer. Don't mean to offend.
[13:31] <xauth> M0rriz: Perhaps this helps. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/fedora-35/how-to-set-up-proxy-in-apt-gets-apt-conf-265793/
[13:31] <theadmin> M0rriz: That's how it usually is on IRC, don't know the answer -- stop talking.
[13:32] <llsam> auronandace: ist there any possibility to recover this data?
[13:32] <M0rriz> xauth, i found that, its not working\
[13:32] <auronandace> !undelete | llsam
[13:32] <theadmin> "virtually impossible"? Photorec recovers even from ext4, not to speak of ext3...
[13:32] <xauth> M0rriz: I'd say it should.
[13:33] <theadmin> Weird factoid
[13:33] <auronandace> llsam: in other words, it might be possible but not likely (or easy)
[13:33] <MonkeyDust> there's also scalpel
[13:33] <llsam> auronandace: i must try it
[13:33] <llsam> auronandace: better i dont reboot now
[13:34] <Pseudoephedrine> Slart: sorry for the late reply have been trying to find a fix, none found yet. My brand of laptop in an Acer Aspire 3733Z.
[13:34] <guest000> Right after updated today, my screen went black. But I think it was not crashed. I could go to other ttys and rebooted. After that, every time after I logged in into my user or root, the screen goes black. But I can log in to Guest normally. Any suggestions?
[13:34] <llsam> ubottu: thanks
[13:34] <theadmin> llsam: Sorry about that, I just never thought anything *important* might be in hidden folders...
[13:34] <Pseudoephedrine> Another issue i am having is, everytime i try to use the command sudo, i get this error 'sudo: unable to resolve host pseudo.svndr.net'
[13:35] <llsam> theadmin: my all work..A  lot of data ..years of work
[13:35] <Slart> Pseudoephedrine: no worries.. I'm assuming the hardware keys don't do anything? and the brightness setting somewhere in the settings dialog doesn't do anything either?
[13:35] <theadmin> Pseudoephedrine: Checkzit /etc/hosts
[13:35] <Tellmarch> so... seems like neither the network nor the graphics work when installing ubuntu 10.04 on my computer... wondering if i should try 11.10... but i don't want that unity "thing" :'(
[13:35] <theadmin> Tellmarch: Try Xubuntu. It looks a lot like Gnome2 and you'll feel right at home with it
[13:35] <sattu94> !nountiy | Tellmarch
[13:36] <sattu94> !nounity | Tellmarch
[13:36] <loganrun> is there a way to specify focus follow mouse?
[13:36] <auronandace> llsam: i alway keep my important stuff on another partition and back it up on an external harddrive
[13:36] <Pseudoephedrine> Slart: Nope, the ALT+left/right keys will show the widget for brightness being changes, but do not change it, nor does the slider in 'screen'
[13:36] <llsam> theadmin: lot of my programs and tools create hiddn folders for collecting local data
[13:36] <Pseudoephedrine> theadmin: thank you :)
[13:36] <Chipzzz> Myrtti: nobody else seems to have any ideas, would you mind checking something for me please?
[13:36] <theadmin> llsam: Well yeah, configs
[13:36] <Myrtti> sure
[13:36] <llsam> auronandace: my /home/is on external partition
[13:37] <theadmin> llsam: They shouldn't be too important... imo... idk
[13:37] <Slart> Pseudoephedrine: are you sure the model is Acer Aspire 3733Z. I get no hits at all on google for that
[13:37] <auronandace> llsam: i don't keep my important data on /home/
[13:37] <Chipzzz> can you tell me what "modprobe -l pcc_cpufreq" says?
[13:38] <llsam> auronandace: ...
[13:38] <Myrtti> Chipzzz: kernel/drivers/cpufreq/pcc-cpufreq.ko
[13:38] <llsam> jessus
[13:38] <auronandace> llsam: it is good practice to keep important data seperate from the OS
[13:38] <Pseudoephedrine> Slart: sorry, 5733Z, new keyboard layout, trying to get used to it still ;p
[13:38] <llsam> auronandace: how i said...i had never problems like this
[13:39] <Myrtti> Chipzzz: pcc-cpufreq gives the same answer
[13:39] <Slart> Pseudoephedrine: ah.. I get more hits now.. I'll be back in a minute
[13:39] <guest000> Right after I updated my Ubuntu 11.10 today, my screen went black. But I think it was not crashed. I could go to other ttys and rebooted. After that, every time after I logged in into my user or root, the screen goes black. But I can log in to Guest normally. Any suggestions?
[13:39] <kandinski> why doesn't ubuntu package truecrypt? does anybody know?
[13:39] <Myrtti> kandinski: truecrypt license forbids it
[13:39] <auronandace> llsam: now you see why it is good practice (not nice to learn the hard way though)
[13:39] <Pseudoephedrine> Slart: i have looked on google i have tried multiple things, like changing the 'setpci' and none have seemed to work as of yet
[13:40] <Slart> Pseudoephedrine: tried this one? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1620063
[13:40] <Chipzzz> Myrtti: ...and "cat /var/log/boot.log | grep pcc_cpufreq" doesn't return anything?
[13:40] <theadmin> Myrtti: That's odd, considering that, for instane, Gentoo or ArchLinux package it...
[13:40] <theadmin> Myrtti: for instance*
[13:41] <sattu94> Where exactly would one suggest to keep my data if not in /home/ ? If I don't want it on an external one. ?
[13:41] <kandinski> Myrtti: ah, thanks
[13:41] <kandinski> Myrtti: is there an alternative, or is truecrypt the recommended method for encrypting a USB disk?
[13:42] <theadmin> kandinski: I'd use TrueCrypt. Just grab it from their site, it's not hard to install at all.
[13:42] <Myrtti> Chipzzz: no, btw "grep pcc_cpufreq /var/log/boot.log/ would have returned the same result
[13:42] <llsam> auronandace: i look on the documantation but i dont see there any possibility to recover explicite folders...just all partitions. I m affraid to do that
[13:42] <kandinski> theadmin: thanks too
[13:42] <Myrtti> kandinski: truecrypt is the best if you want to get crossplatform support
[13:42] <auronandace> sattu94: i use a seperate storage partition
[13:42] <Slart> sattu94: I have a network mapped place for important stuff which I mount in /home/slart/mystuff, then I leave the rest of the stuff in /home/slart be where ever it wants.. I don't need to backup the settings for minesweeper =)
[13:42] <Chipzzz> Myrtti: I'm not seeing it in dmesg, just boot.log
[13:42] <Pseudoephedrine> Slart: No, not yet. that was going to be my last method, im not fond of editing files i dont know what they do, if this file safe to edit? in your opinion?
[13:42] <llsam> auronandace: i came here for help
[13:43] <kandinski> Myrtti: it's for my backups and work files, so yeah, knowing that in a pinch I can get to it from a random Windows computer would be nice
[13:43] <sattu94>  /{var,opt,usr,etc,media,lib,dev,bin} are all out of question I guess.
[13:43] <llsam> auronandace: i thought it is a support channel
[13:43] <kandinski> thanks Myrtti theadmin
[13:43] <auronandace> llsam: i can only help you with what i know
[13:43] <llsam> auronandace: sómetimes is very hard to hear that the really big supporter making advice to the people as they should lknow everything..
[13:44] <Myrtti> Chipzzz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/809638/
[13:44] <Slart> Pseudoephedrine: well.. grub handles the loading of ubuntu at the very start.. it's a pretty important system.. but also quite easy to fix if you've got a live cd/live usb around.. and you can always undo that change that is mentionded when booting
[13:44] <auronandace> llsam: i've never had to restore my data, but i have given you advise on why it is important to have backups
[13:44] <Slart> Pseudoephedrine: so I wouldn't be afraid of editing that file, no
[13:44] <llsam> auronandace: thank you
[13:45] <auronandace> llsam: sorry i can't help you recover the data, my experience in that area is very limited
[13:45] <Pseudoephedrine> Slart: Ok, just edited the line, still no change, should i try a reboot or should it be working?
[13:45] <llsam> auronandace: okay, thank you anyway very much
[13:46] <Slart> Pseudoephedrine: yes.. that change won't take effect until you reboot
[13:46] <ghostmediapro> is there another repo to get util-linux as the repo the company uses has been block
[13:46] <Pseudoephedrine> Slart: Ok, i will be back ;p
[13:46] <Slart> Pseudoephedrine: good luck =)
[13:47] <llsam> theadmin: could you help me in this problem now..im afraid to reboot the system to not make data completly lost
[13:48] <Chipzzz> Myrtti: darndest thing! I can't figure it out! Thanks for helping, I'll have to mess with this after I get some sleep... Thanks again :)
[13:48] <loganrun> it is much more efficient to use sloppy focus than click focus, I don't get why that is not the default
[13:48] <theadmin> llsam: Well it is completely lost, anyway, well... You can try data recovery tools. But... I can't guarantee anything... Sorry I made you lose important things :(
[13:48] <viashimo> I'm running ubuntu 11.10, and my /etc/resolv.conf keeps getting reverted (presumably by network manager) while the system is running. anybody have any ideas how to avoid that. this is a problem since it reverts it to using the wrong nameservers
[13:49] <Pici> ghostmediapro: You can use any other ubuntu repository mirror.
[13:49] <Myrtti> Chipzzz: check your BIOS settings, that might be a good idea
[13:49] <theadmin> loganrun: It's default in most tiling wms, but not in stacking ones.
[13:49] <Pseudoephedrine> Slart: I'm no longer being blinded, thanks for the help
[13:49] <llsam> theadmin: it was my fault that i didt interprated your advices..i am really distroyed now
[13:49] <Slart> Pseudoephedrine: it worked? great!
[13:49] <Chipzzz> Myrtti: Thanks... I hadn't thought of that... good idea, but I'll still have to do it after some sleep ;)
[13:50] <theadmin> llsam: Not your fault, noobs shouldn't try to understand stuff they can't... blame me if you want to, just don't swear too much
[13:50] <Pseudoephedrine> Slart: It sure did! Thanks again
[13:50] <loganrun> theadmin, if you are trying to work with more than one window it is a pain because whenver you click it brings the other window to the top and hinds the window you currently were working on potentially, a serious pain
[13:50] <theadmin> loganrun: Try i3. Or awesome. or dwm. Or any other tiling wm :D Seems stacking is not for you
[13:51] <llsam> theadmin: so lets back to the new user i made..how should i go farward now?
[13:51] <theadmin> llsam: You should reboot and then select the new user at the login screen, after which, well, your system should be usable
[13:51] <loganrun> theadmin, how do you change window managers in ubuntu?
[13:52] <theadmin> loganrun: Install a new one and somehow make it start default (idk how to do it in desktop environments, I myself use standalone openbox)
[13:52] <llsam> theadmin: but can i come back to my old user after that?
[13:53] <theadmin> llsam: If you can get that user's account to work again, sure.
[13:53] <ghostmediapro> could i use a live cd to fix the /usr/bin/startx: line 138: /usr/bin/mcookie: no such file or directory
[13:54] <llsam> theadmin: i would like to contact again if i get trouble with that, is it ok?
[13:54] <loganrun> theadmin, was able to find how to change to sloppy focus which seems o.k. for now. is the dashboard part of the window manager I assume?
[13:54] <theadmin> llsam: Sure thing.
[13:54] <theadmin> loganrun: You mean the unity dash? Yeah, sadly
[13:54] <guest000> Right after I updated my Ubuntu 11.10 today, my screen went black. But I think it was not crashed. I could go to other ttys and rebooted. After that, every time after I logged in into my user or root, the screen goes black. But I can log in to Guest normally. Somebody help me ..
[13:54] <loganrun> theadmin, yes
[13:54] <malibu> Hi there.. I"m locked out of gnome do because it is having an issue with the google docs plugin this morning and dies.  How do I remove the google docs plugin from the shell?
[13:55] <loganrun> theadmin, yeah, you loose a lot of the features of the distribution if you use a non standard window manager
[13:55] <theadmin> loganrun: I use openbox and am fully satisfied with how it works :D So, meh.
[13:55] <theadmin> loganrun: Me doesn't likes Unity
[13:59] <llsam> theadmin: i have also problem to start gdm under new user
[13:59] <theadmin> llsam: Why are you starting gdm as a user?
[13:59] <llsam> theadmin: the same error msg ...sanity check
[13:59] <theadmin> llsam: Huh. Now this is really weird. Sorry, I don't even know anymore.
[13:59] <llsam> theadmin: i dont understand this quastion...how else?
[14:00] <auronandace> llsam: when you say start gdm are you referring to the login manager?
[14:00] <_UsUrPeR_> morning all. Where can I cat /dev to get my current CPU loads?
[14:00] <llsam> auronandace: yes i do
[14:00] <auronandace> llsam: the login manager should start on its own
[14:00] <theadmin> _UsUrPeR_: "uptime" provides load averages if that's what you mean, I have no idea why you want to cat /dev stuff for that
[14:01] <auronandace> llsam: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[14:01] <llsam> auronandace: it is starting but looks differrent and also gdm power manager complains
[14:01] <llsam> auronandace: 10.04 64bit
[14:01] <rypervenche> Does Linux need anything special to be able to read a GPT external HDD?
[14:01] <auronandace> llsam: there is no such thing as gdm power manager
[14:01] <_UsUrPeR_> theadmin: I am trying to put together a simple script to incrementally log server stats to a text file
[14:01] <auronandace> llsam: gdm is the gnome display manager
[14:01] <llsam> auronandace: some power manager or something
[14:02] <llsam> auronandace:gdm ist gnome display manager
[14:03] <auronandace> llsam: so gdm (the login screen) loads fine and you can enter your username and password?
[14:03] <llsam> auronandace: yes...but it looks crappy ..i can choose there users but no other options available as normal
[14:04] <auronandace> llsam: what happens when you login?
[14:05] <llsam> auronandace: it gives error...something with sanity-check of gconf
[14:05] <mydogsnameisrudy> wonders if llsam  has changed login theme?
[14:05] <llsam> auronandace: sorry i cant say now exactly#
[14:05] <OerHeks> llsam, you need to enter the user first, to make a change in GDM
[14:06] <auronandace> llsam: and that is with the newly created user?
[14:06] <llsam> auronandace: yes also with the new created user
[14:06] <auronandace> llsam: hmm, something is very broken
[14:07] <auronandace> llsam: when did you first have this problem
[14:07] <llsam> auronandace: yes. my disk?
[14:08] <llsam> auronandace: it apears yesterday during some installation of eclipse plugins...i lost suddenly permissions. i have reboot and saw sanity-check errors
[14:08] <llsam> auronandace: i discover also another problems with mktemp
[14:09] <auronandace> llsam: where did you get the eclipse plugins from? did you install eclipse from the repo?
[14:09] <llsam> auronandace: no, i have removed ecliupse from the repos and took brand fresh indigo version from the eclipse site
[14:10] <auronandace> llsam: ah, that means we can't support you with eclipse
[14:10] <llsam> auronandace: becouse i have problems with installing subcliupse plugin, some developer told me this is becouse the old ubuntu repe bvuild
[14:10] <auronandace> llsam: how old is your harddrive?
[14:11] <llsam> auronandace: eclipse is not the problem right now...i can leave without eclipse
[14:11] <llsam> auronandace: let me think..some 3 years...it is sata
[14:12] <auronandace> llsam: hmm, my guess is that eclipse is to blame
[14:12] <llsam> auronandace: what are you suggesting? to go and by new hd and install fresh system?
[14:13] <llsam> auronandace: shit..thats bad
[14:13] <auronandace> llsam: i'm not sure how you installed it, but i'd reccomend removing it
[14:13] <auronandace> !language | llsam
[14:13] <llsam> auronandace: how can be possible that eclipse messed so badly system?=
[14:14] <auronandace> llsam: i don't know, but if this problen occurred directly after installing the plugins, something changed somewhere that broke something
[14:14] <llsam> auronandace: sorry for my language! thats becouse im so destroyed now :)
[14:14] <cjoke> seems like I have a package installed in /usr/local/bin, and dpkg dont detect that package. so when I install the package (ref . newer version) it goes into /usr/bin. But when I do a which packagename. it takes the one in /usr/local/bin (old version). is that because of /usr/local/bin in export | grep PATH is defined before /usr/bin? and how is the correct way of uninstall it ?
[14:15] <theadmin> cjoke: Yes, whichever is defined first comes first
[14:16] <auronandace> llsam: things like this is why i only stick to what is in the official repos
[14:17] <llsam> auronandace: i will go now to by a new disk, and i will try to install new system. could you tell me if this brand new ubuntu is good and stable enough for my all hard core grafix stuff?
[14:17] <auronandace> llsam: 11.10 works fine for me
[14:17] <MonkeyDust> 'hardcore grafix'
[14:17] <mydogsnameisrudy> how big is your harddrive llsam ?
[14:18] <auronandace> llsam: not sure why you want to get a new harddrive
[14:18] <mydogsnameisrudy> i would dualboot 11.10 move data from 10.04 first
[14:18] <llsam> auronandace: i will need to install blender cycles render machine, with newwest nvidia driver, opensim server with mono, eclipse indigo and lot of other tools
[14:19] <auronandace> llsam: do you use a lot of ppas?
[14:19] <cjoke> theadmin, ok, then my (sudo?) dpkg environment is having /usr/bin/ before /usr/local/bin. and as the user trying too execute having it the other way in PATH then? or is it more too it ?
[14:20] <cjoke> omg, my sentences is build in a awfoul way. Ill figure it out, thanks :)
[14:20] <llsam> auronandace: yes...
[14:20] <auronandace> llsam: i see :)
[14:20] <auronandace> llsam: ppas are unsupported
[14:20] <auronandace> !ppa | llsam
[14:20] <llsam> auronandace: but no worry...i was always looking for conflicts
[14:21] <llsam> auronandace: but my work is so that i need tools which are not in repos
[14:21] <auronandace> llsam: the more ppas you use the more likely something might break
[14:21] <llsam> auronandace: i know that problem. but i must go on, that is my bread..:)
[14:22] <DeLorean719> have the zappos hashes been leaked yet?
[14:22] <theadmin> DeLorean719: That's offtopic.
[14:22] <DeLorean719> oh, and I suppose you're theadmin?
[14:22] <Pici> !illegal | DeLorean719
[14:22] <auronandace> llsam: no wonder you have loads of problems, i never use ppas and i've never had any problems
[14:22] <llsam> auronandace: look, becouse i cant solvve my problem now, and anyway my disk ist almost full, i rthink it is a goof ideea to buy new one and install new system
[14:24] <auronandace> llsam: i don't often say this but i think perhaps you would want to try a different distribution which supports the software you need
[14:24] <llsam> auronandace: or maybe you have anothere ideea ? i am very open
[14:24] <llsam> auronandace: i do not know windows system  and im only using open source
[14:25] <tastygirl> hi everybody
[14:25] <tastygirl> Any body can see me ?
[14:25] <tastygirl> I am a hot girl
[14:25] <MonkeyDust> tastygirl  no
[14:25] <auronandace> llsam: i didn't suggest windows
[14:26] <llsam> auronandace: maybe thoise archlinux would better support my intrest?
[14:26] <MonkeyDust> tastygirl  wrong channel and I bet you're a man who looks like a ZZ Top member
[14:26] <auronandace> llsam: i use arch and its very good, but this is getting a little offtopic for ubuntu support
[14:27] <llsam> auronandace: i understand..puh...
[14:27] <auronandace> llsam: feel free to pmme if you want to talk about other distros
[14:27] <fAz4> how to understand laptop synaptics touchpad is using which driver ? (psmouse ) ??
[14:28] <llsam> auronandace: i will come back... i go to to buy a new disk. suddenly i am very decided to do that as a right
[14:28] <llsam> auronandace: thank you very very much for your friendly help
[14:29] <auronandace> llsam: no worries :)
[14:29] <fAz4> any idea ?
[14:29] <matrix^m> how can I turn echo server on on Ubuntu 11.04?
[14:33] <slikts> why doesn't Alt+F2 work for me anymore! running 11.10
[14:33] <slikts> I can't even enable Alt+F2, because I go to Keyboard → Shortcuts → System → Show the run command prompt, and clicking there and pressing Alt+F2 does nothing
[14:34] <slikts> why do they have to constantly fuck with these things
[14:34] <epaphus> Hello. I installed java runtime environment from Sun Java (original) .. works great in firefox. The problem is that i cannot execute a .jnlp file.  I read that a .jnlp can be executed with  javaws .. but that package comes from openjdk which i dont want to use. So what can i do?
[14:34] <auronandace> !language | slikts
[14:36] <Nfisher> HI all! is there any possibility to give out an acoustic signal when a certain user logs in to the machine?
[14:36] <gener1c> is that me or does gnome has tons of bugs lately
[14:36] <slikts> it's not you
[14:36] <gener1c> thanks :)
[14:37] <slikts> I have no idea what GNOME devs could be thinking
[14:37] <_UsUrPeR_> New question: where does top get it's current CPU stats from? I know it's somewhere in /proc/ , but where?
[14:37] <slikts> gnome is a broken piece of s*** now, bugs galore
[14:37] <gener1c> lol
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> _UsUrPeR_  try cpuinfo
[14:38] <slikts> and ubuntu just accepts everything from upstream
[14:38] <auronandace> slikts: you don't have to use gnome, i'm a happy xfce user
[14:38] <gener1c> well its hard maintaining other peoples bugs as a distro
[14:38] <mbeierl> slikts: If you use the LTS releases, you won't get the latest...
[14:38] <gener1c> id use lxde but im too used to gnome-shell already
[14:39] <_UsUrPeR_> MonkeyDust: /proc/cpuinfo shows the processors I am presently using, but not the CPU usage
[14:39] <dr_willis> lubuntu is quite nice.
[14:39] <slikts> mbeierl: I don't want ancient 10.10
[14:39] <gener1c> is lubuntu optimized for laptops?
[14:39] <slikts> or whatever the lts release is
[14:40] <dr_willis> gener1c:  it just uses lless resources mainly
[14:40] <consolecowboy> guys, i'm having some trouble installing the gimp, i wonder if you could help me out
[14:40] <gener1c> oh ok dr_willis
[14:40] <consolecowboy> i'm told i have broken packages, but synaptic claims to have fixed them
[14:40] <mbeierl> slikts: then don't complain about change if you want new.
[14:40] <gener1c> lol
[14:40] <slikts> mbeierl: don't tell me what to do and I won't tell you where to go
[14:41] <gener1c> mbeierl: its , dont complain about change if you want beta
[14:41] <LjL> !ot
[14:41] <mbeierl> slikts: then keep the conversation productive.
[14:41] <slikts> mbeierl: the last couple of ubuntu releases have been unstable
[14:41] <slikts> if they can't ship a stable release, they should just change the schedule instead of misleading users
[14:42] <MonkeyDust> guys, wrong channel
[14:42] <slikts> I wouldn't have used the latest if I didn't trust canonical to at least keep it sane
[14:42] <auronandace> slikts: 11.10 works great for me
[14:42] <gener1c> im using 11.10 :P
[14:42] <gener1c> my gnome is buggy as heck
[14:42] <slikts> auronandace: yes, it works for me also, after spending a week to coax it
[14:42] <slikts> auronandace: like switching to unity 2d so that compiz doesn't hog cpu constantly etc.
[14:43] <gener1c> ubgentoo
[14:43] <titash> clearall
[14:43] <auronandace> slikts: i use xubuntu so xfce works much better than compiz (in my experience)
[14:44] <slikts> and canonical have been pushing the updates: you get nag screens about them, and there's no clear warnings that these things are beta quality
[14:44] <dr_willis> plenty of options out there.
[14:44] <slikts> that all suck
[14:45] <dr_willis> so take the ranting to the ot channel
[14:45] <auronandace> slikts: do you need any help or are you just here to complain?
[14:45] <Chipzzz> Myrtti: If you're still here... I couldn't walk away from the problem... turned out that I had installed cpufrequtils & that was causing the error... now I can call it a day/night/or whatever it is :))
[14:45] <Myrtti> Chipzzz: excellent :-)
[14:45] <epaphus> Hello. I installed java runtime environment from Sun Java (original) .. works great in firefox. The problem is that i cannot execute a .jnlp file.  I read that a .jnlp can be executed with  javaws .. but that package comes from openjdk which i dont want to use. So what can i do?
[14:46] <coleix> guys need some help installing BTLive, i did chmod +x start.sh and then ./start.sh but it didn't do anything even after sudoing it
[14:46] <Chipzzz> Myrtti: thanks again for your help... I wouldn't have figured it out otherwise :)
[14:46] <Germanaz0> hello everybody
[14:46] <Germanaz0> I would like to know
[14:46] <Germanaz0> if there is some console metasearch like pinot
[14:46] <Germanaz0> but only for console
[14:46] <Nikki_> Hi!
[14:47] <LjL> _UsUrPeR_: i believe its /proc/processnumber/stat, but that needs parsing
[14:47] <Nikki_> Whenever I shutdown Ubuntu, it opens the CD drive. Can anyone help me? (Sorry for my bad english)
[14:47] <dr_willis> what are pinots features?
[14:48] <_UsUrPeR_> LjL: that would be correct for a single process. Does top/htop aggregate all processes together?
[14:48] <dr_willis> Nikki_:  a normall install or how did you install it?
[14:48] <LjL> _UsUrPeR_: i think that's what it does yes
[14:48] <Nikki_> dr_willis: On a live USB
[14:48] <LjL> Germanaz0: uhm, the pinot description says it can be used through the command line...
[14:48] <dr_willis> Nikki_:  that makes sence then
[14:48] <KRS_> anyone know how to get access to the drive from a live cd??
[14:49] <KRS_> i need to delete a file or more because the drive id full
[14:49] <dr_willis> Nikki_:  but ive never seen a live ysb do it here
[14:49] <auronandace> !mount | KRS_
[14:49] <skilz> How can I disable the graphical plymoth boot and enable a basic text boot and also enable text login not graphical

[14:54] <ratcheer> I'm running 11.10 64-bit. Adobe Flash stops working. I install it again, test it, and it works fine. A few days later, it no longer works. Firefox plugins shows it is still installed.

[14:57] <Kasper> Hello everyone
[14:57] <Nikki_> dr_willis: No, not this
[14:58] <Nikki_> dr_willis: What's the problem?
[14:59] <dr_willis> Nikki_:  restate the issue to the channel may be a good idea
[14:59] <Nikki_> Whenever I shutdown Ubuntu, it opens the CD drive.
[15:00] <LjL> Nikki_, it's supposed to do that when running from a live CD, so if you just moved the live CD to USB, i guess it'll keep doing that
[15:00] <dr_willis> Nikki_:  you may want to fill in the details. live cd. usb  ect...
[15:01] <Nikki_> dr_willis: It is a live USB.
[15:01] <Nfisher> is there a possibility to let the pc beep if a new user logs in?!?

[15:03] <LjL> Nikki_: there is a thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1565624 but it's inconclusive
[15:03] <Kasper> First of alle, sorry for being a complete noob! I have a problem, I've just installed lubuntu on an asus eeebox 10007, when I booted the resolution wasn't correct so I changed it with xrandr but I can't figure out how to keep the resolution after a reboot.

[15:06] <theishi> I messed something up pretty good, perl and gems do not work anymore, they freeze and I think something in my system maybe corrupt. Any good way of reinstalling all or most of my programs without nuking?
[15:07] <LjL> theishi: first, try reinstalling the package "ubuntu-desktop" to ensure you have everything needed. if that doesn't help, i'd suggest using the program "debsums" to find out about any files which might be corrupt/modified, and reinstall the relevant packages
[15:08] <coleix> Guys how do I check if there is something missing for a installation? it doesn't give me any errors when i try ./BTLive or with sudo
[15:08] <dr_willis> perl uses gems?
[15:08] <nielz> theishi: what did you mess up?
[15:09] <dr_willis> coleix:  pershap read through that script for a clue
[15:09] <dr_willis> whats btlive anyway
[15:09] <theishi> nielz: Well most things seem to be working fine, but perl freezes when running tested scripts. gems will not install anything, and I recently told apt-get to ignore some warnings that I worry is causing problems now
[15:10] <coleix> a new bittorrent protocol for streaming needs the program
[15:10] <JesusChrist> Guys I keep getting the message "Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ferramroberto/extra/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found" can I remove that repo?
[15:10] <theishi> LjL: How do I reinstall it? You mean remove it and then install it again?\
[15:11] <LjL> theishi: nah just "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop", if it says it's already installed then it's not that
[15:11] <wh1zz0> Hi guys.. Suddenly my Wireless refuses to work. I have restarted up to 3 times and it's not coming on.. this was working few minutes ago and in fact wireless has never given me any problems on ubuntu.. Please can someone help me identify what the problem is here..?? I googled a bit but havent found a solution to this problem, .... Here is the result/output of running rfkill list from the terminal http://paste.ubuntu.com/809715/
[15:11] <hudo> with lucid there are some notificatinos when with rythmbox a new song starts or thunderbird new email arrives
[15:11] <LjL> JesusChrist: yes, it'll be either in /etc/apt/sources.list or in one of the files at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[15:11] <theishi> LjL: ok I did that and it says it is good
[15:11] <KRS_> i have google "video mode not supported" but no easy way to fix it...  anyone know how to fix it?
[15:11] <hudo> can i read these messages after they disappeared already ?
[15:11] <theishi> LjL: running debsums now
[15:11] <JesusChrist> LjL out of curiosity. What is that repo?
[15:12] <LjL> JesusChrist: i don't know, you were the one adding it... :P
[15:12] <dr_willis> KRS_:  for grub?
[15:12]  * wh1zz0 anyone?
[15:12] <coleix> start.sh says http://paste.ubuntu.com/809720/ but that doesn't work
[15:12] <LjL> theishi: if apt-get gave warnings though, that's a... warning bell. can you find out what the warnings were?
[15:12] <KRS_> dr_willis:  i think do...  (is that default?)
[15:13] <theishi> LjL: It was a few days ago, i do not remember what they were, i suppose there is a log of it somewhere though right?
[15:14] <dr_willis> KRS_:  edit the /etc/default/grub to make it use a text menu.
[15:14] <KRS_> dr_willis:  this Live cd vork so its not wrong with monitor
[15:14] <dr_willis> !grub2

Here is the result/output of running rfkill list from the terminal http://paste.ubuntu.com/809715/
[15:14] <Kasper> LjL: I can't really make it work, I mean. the kdm/gdm solution won't work, cause those folders arent present and the xorg.conf isn't there either, neither is the .xprofile one :(
[15:15] <LjL> Kasper: the kdm/gdm thing is outdated now there is lightdm, but xorg.conf or .xprofile should work, if they don't exist you can still create them
[15:16] <StR> hi everyone!
[15:16] <LjL> wh1zz0: suppose you've tried "sudo rfkill unblock all"?
[15:16] <NelsonM> Do I have to do anything special when setting up an Ubuntu box to later use kvm/libvirt to create virtual images? Or does the stock Ubuntu Server install work as a host?
[15:16] <Kasper> LjL: so i can just create a blank file in /etc/x11 called xorg.conf? or where would i put .xprofile?
[15:16] <StR> since yesterday I've been having problems with my window manager, it loads all the windows with transparency... anyone having the same problem?
[15:16] <coleix> no ideas on how to check if there is something missing for an installation?
[15:17] <hudo> can i read rhythmbox messages after they disappeared already ?
[15:17] <LjL> Kasper: yes, .xprofile would be right in your home
[15:17] <wh1zz0> LjL: yes I tried that.. but after doing that and running rfkill list again.. there is no change noticed
[15:17] <Kasper> LjL: Thanks I'll see if I can find it
[15:17] <LjL> Kasper: it probably won't exist, but that doesn't matter. edit it and add the line anyway
[15:18] <Kasper> LjL: Awesome, thanks
[15:18] <dr_willis> coleix:  sounds like that program is exiting with no errors
[15:19] <Erealz> is this the official help channel?
[15:19] <theishi> LjL: Very strange, I cannot see it in that log. It was something like the file signatures couldn't be confirmed or something
[15:19] <MonkeyDust> Erealz  yes
[15:19] <Erealz> k
[15:19] <b0ot> what application should I use in ubuntu to connect to a windows pc via remote desktop?
[15:19] <Erealz> thanks
[15:19] <dr_willis> coleix:  or its running in the background silently
[15:19] <zro> anyone use comcast email w/ thunderbird 7.0.1 on ubuntu 11.10 ?
[15:19] <Kasper> LjL: Moment of truth, rebooting now, I added the 3 xrandr lines i had and rebooted
[15:20] <MonkeyDust> b0ot  try rdesktop
[15:20] <coleix> dr_willis: don't think so because it doesn't recognizes BTLive yet
[15:20] <dr_willis> coleix:  see what ps says after you run btlive
[15:20] <LjL> theishi: uhm, well go with debsums. try "sudo debsums --generate=missing  --silent"
[15:21] <dr_willis> could be failing for other reasons
[15:21] <theishi> LjL: this is very strange, things are starting to work again
[15:21] <coleix> dr_willis: what's ps?
[15:21] <KRS_> dr_willis: what do i edit in the grub?  i just want to get in to my system again then i can change ther again
[15:21] <dr_willis> coleix:  a command
[15:21] <LjL> theishi: how did they fail before again? anything resembling segmentation faults?
[15:22] <theishi> LjL: just silent freezing
[15:22] <Kasper> LjL: didn't work :( These are the only lines in .xprofile right now: pastebin.com/VsFwGDSn
[15:22] <dr_willis> KRS_:  here if its just grub doing it. i can still boot to the desktop. you cant get that far?
[15:22] <LjL> theishi: if it's that transient, for some reason i tend to suspect hardware issues. i'd check your drives (smartmontools) and your memory (memtest86+)
[15:23] <theishi> LjL: you are probably right especially being it is working now...
[15:23]  * wh1zz0 :(
[15:23] <coleix> dr_willis: it apparently started working when I went to the stream page
[15:23] <KRS_> dr_willis: nope bios is ok but then it say "video mode not supported" in ubuntu boot up
[15:23] <id10t> 'lo all
[15:23] <LjL> Kasper: and those exact same line work if you run them manually?
[15:23] <fooblah> How do I get voice in #gcc?
[15:24] <Kasper> LjL: Yep
[15:24] <coleix> dr_willis: gonna try it tomorrow when the streaming for the dj show starts
[15:24] <rypervenche> How can I get Ubuntu to read an HFS+ partition whose disk uses GPT? I can't seem to get it to work.
[15:25] <theishi> LjL: Thanks btw, I appreciate it
[15:25] <KRS_> dr_willis: #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 ???
[15:25] <LjL> Kasper: sounds like a bug with lightdm, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/794315 - anyway, it's probably better to do the xorg.conf thing, because .xprofile would only work with your account, not other users, and not at the login screen
[15:26] <auronandace> rypervenche: have you installed hfs/hfs+ file system utilities?
[15:26] <Kasper> LjL: So I'll just create a blank file and name it xorg.conf in the x11 folder, paste in the 3 lines, and save it yeah?
[15:26] <rypervenche> auronandace: I have. hfsprogs, hfsplus, and hfsutils
[15:26] <dr_willis> KRS_:  that sets the res. thesrs also a line to set a fallback text only menu
[15:27] <KRS_> dr_willis: #GRUB_TERMINAL=console ??
[15:27] <LjL> Kasper: no not those three lines, i'm afraid it's got a completely different syntax :( but the wiki page has an example
[15:27] <Kasper> LjL: Thanks, I'll look at it
[15:27] <dr_willis> KRS_:  i think so. see the grub2 factoid pages
[15:27] <KRS_> dr_willis: and uncomment it to remove the "# "??
[15:28] <dr_willis> # is a comment yes.. remove the #
[15:29] <dr_willis> and rerun update-grub

[15:45] <Kasper> LjL: well, the pc i'm on now chatting from is identical in specs with the one i'm trying to fix so if I could take this pc's xorg.conf and copy it over to the other one? Except this pc's xorg.conf file is also empty
[15:46] <auronandace> bambino__: lspci | grep vga
[15:46] <LjL> Kasper: well if they're identical specced, yes it would work... i'd just pastebin the file after you create it, and load that on the other computer

[15:48] <lake_> I went to a keyserver, and searched for my file, and I found long lists of User IDs, but they all have the same domain name. Isn't that a little fishy? Shouldn't the User IDs belong to a variety of trusting users?
[15:49] <Kasper> LjL: Oh well, better get to it. Do you know what I would put under "Driver" with an intel device? In the example it's an ATI card and it says "ati", so I take it it's just "intel"?

[15:50] <imbezol> van: you could probably get away with just a gig.. but as soon as you start firing up apps like libreoffice you're going to chew up a binch more
[15:50] <LjL> Kasper: yeah "intel" should work according to google
[15:50] <imbezol> van: if you run out of ram your system will start swapping to disk and things will slow down a lot
[15:51] <imbezol> van: if you really run out, ie you fill swap, the kernel will kill off processes to save itself
[15:51] <van> ye, just trying to do anything on this machine with 512 ram, its just bad..
[15:51] <imbezol> you can run a decent server with that

[15:59] <LjL> xsl: and if things break, don't complain ;)
[15:59] <xsl> lake: the secring and pubring are containers of all your keys
[16:00] <dimas_> auronandace, it goes to the black screen like when you start ubuntu but i cant read the error because the sistem frozes
[16:00] <CharminTheMoose> I'm doing some debugging of the bootcd-i386/bootcd-mkinitramfs packages.. can udev and filesystems like /dev/pts and /dev/shm stop functioning properly due to doing mount --move, while it's still running?
[16:00] <auronandace> dimas_: did you test the ram?
[16:01] <auronandace> dimas_: run memtest from the grub menu
[16:01] <dimas_> auronandace, how i do that?
[16:01] <Kasper> LjL: It worked! You are my hero of the day!
[16:01] <lake_> LjL: my bad, perhaps you could point me in the right direction on where to ask? #gnupg is silent.
[16:01] <AndyUbuntu> finally think i would like to go back to windows after all these years
[16:01] <AndyUbuntu> such a dissapointment
[16:01] <ikonia> AndyUbuntu: ok - off you go then
[16:01] <AndyUbuntu> hahaha
[16:02] <auronandace> dimas_: can you get to the grub menu?
[16:02] <need_help> is there any way to launch ubuntu in a limited-graphics way ? my graphic card is damaged, and all I can use is windows with its vga.dll, any serious driver crashes my pc
[16:02] <KRS_> Is there any way to reinstall ubuntu and keep the files in home dir?
[16:02] <AndyUbuntu> well since an update i have not been able to edit any video from kdenlive or openshot
[16:02] <dimas_> auronandace, grub menu?
[16:02] <LjL> lake_: maybe ##crypto
[16:02] <ikonia> AndyUbuntu: well, enjoy using windows then, use the tool that's best for your needs
[16:02] <auronandace> KRS_: you could backup your /home/
[16:02] <AndyUbuntu> that is actually on both my ubuntu machines
[16:02] <scarleo> KRS_, You have /home on separate partition?
[16:02] <ikonia> need_help: the grub menu has a safe graphics mode
[16:03] <RamtinA> hi ! i bought a socks5 account , now i have user and pass but how can i use it in ubuntu???
[16:03] <need_help> ikonia: problem is I can't access grub menu since last ubuntu upgrade, I get "no signal" can I do anything or am I doomed ?
[16:03] <KRS_> auronandace: well then i wouldnt be in this situation...  then i would just reinstall it  ;-)
[16:03] <ikonia> RamtinA: you need applications that are socks 5 compatible
[16:03] <KRS_> scarleo: nope.. :-(
[16:03] <lake_> LjL: thank you.
[16:04] <ikonia> need_help: you can force your video card to "safe" mode with the xorg.conf file setting the driver to "vesa"
[16:04] <RamtinA> ikonia: do you know any application for ubutnu?
[16:04] <AndyUbuntu> i really am not a fan of windows at all, would not want to go back. Would just like a video application like kdenlive and openshot to work on one machine. Instead now they will not work on either machines.
[16:04] <scarleo> KRS_, so just make a backup then, then reinstall and then copy back what you need from /home
[16:04] <ikonia> RamtinA: depends what you want
[16:04] <ikonia> AndyUbuntu: you just said you did want to go back there
[16:04] <need_help> ikonia: but how do I edit it ? is doing that through windows a safe way to do it ?
[16:04] <ubuntu_> how to unmount and hide (permanent) only the Windows Partitions that are shown at the desktop?
[16:04] <RamtinA> ikonia: everything is good ! i just wana surf the internet :P
[16:04] <ikonia> need_help: use a live CD if possible
[16:05] <auronandace> KRS_: what? backup /home/ reinstall then copy wht you need from your backup (like what scarleo suggests)
[16:05] <ikonia> RamtinA: well, you don't want a web browser to use socks,
[16:05] <need_help> ikonia: I'll try, thanks for help
[16:05] <RamtinA> ikonia: so what i need?
[16:05] <ikonia> need_help: not sure how you'll get on with it
[16:05] <KRS_> scarleo/ auronandace : well does liveCD have a dvdburner?
[16:05] <AndyUbuntu> ikonia, just seems as though it is an update that has caused this issue as both machines are not working with both editor and need to put some videos online
[16:05] <ikonia> RamtinA: why can't you just surf the net properly ?
[16:05] <ikonia> AndyUbuntu: understood
[16:06] <need_help> ikonia: I'll try editing xorg from windows
[16:06] <persiluhu> is there any ubuntu/apache channel? or someone who might help me with lost /var/www folder, after upgrade?
[16:06] <ikonia> need_help: you shouldn't do that
[16:06] <jutnux> persiluhu: What's the problem?
[16:06] <RamtinA> ikonia: i'm from iran and half of websites are filter :) i need proxy .i need a socks5 client
[16:06] <ikonia> need_help: the xorg.conf is on ext4, ext4 file system support for windows is very bad
[16:06] <scarleo> KRS_, Brasero is there by default I think
[16:06] <ikonia> persiluhu: lost, explain "lost" ?
[16:06] <auronandace> KRS_: i think so, brasero might be on there (not sure, i use xubuntu)
[16:06] <jutnux> RamtinA: This channel isn't going to allow you to get a proxy.
[16:07] <AndyUbuntu> stability is hugly important. Dont want to rant about it as ubuntu is awesome. Cant find fixes anywhere and cant spare all day trying to fix this issue :s
[16:07] <persiluhu> i upgarded to 11.10 after that there was no www folder anymore. have no idea where it is
[16:07] <jutnux> persiluhu: Did you simply upgrade or do a fresh install?
[16:07] <persiluhu> there is not even a new empty one its just gone
[16:07] <RamtinA> jutnux: i don't want a proxy i just need a client name :-??
[16:07] <KRS_> auronandace: yeah found that now.. :-)
[16:07] <persiluhu> i upgraded from usb stick without internet connection
[16:07] <jutnux> RamtinA: Do a bit of Googling.
[16:07] <RamtinA> jutnux: i did
[16:08] <jutnux> persiluhu: type sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ if you want apache easily.
[16:08] <RamtinA> jutnux: and i think that's good for you to know i can't search proxy in my country :) :P
[16:08] <MonkeyDust> persiluhu  try the command tasksel (task select)
[16:08] <persiluhu> i know, but the point is i need the old folder back. there where homepages and scripst in it i stupidly didnt backup
[16:09] <AndyUbuntu> anyone know why rendering would constantly crash with kdenlive?
[16:09] <need_help> ikonia: we'll thanks anyway, i'll try tapping blindly to safe graphics mode
[16:09] <ikonia> need_help:  no no no no
[16:09] <ikonia> need_help: just boot from a livecd - hopefully that should give you some sort of display
[16:10] <scarleo> RamtinA, use tor https://www.torproject.org/
[16:10] <RamtinA> scarleo:ok thank you so much :)
[16:10] <LjL> !info redsocks | RamtinA, but socks is hardly the only option
[16:10] <LjL> err
[16:10] <LjL> Precise package, nevermind
[16:10] <LjL> !info tsocks | RamtinA
[16:11] <LjL> RamtinA: remember it might be illegal to do so, and you might end up in trouble.
[16:11] <RamtinA> LjL: thanks
[16:11] <RamtinA> ubottu: thanks
[16:12] <AndyUbuntu> i have tried uninstalling and installing both kdenlive and openshot with no avail
[16:12] <AndyUbuntu> anyone could share their comments that would be great
[16:12] <persiluhu> how come /var/www is deleted after upgrade, but /home  isnt?
[16:13] <ikonia> persiluhu: it shouldn't be
[16:13] <MonkeyDust> persiluhu  fresh install or upgraded with a command?
[16:13] <vite> does ubuntu server have energy management?
[16:13] <ikonia> vite: yes
[16:13] <Kasper> LjL: I just encountered an error though. Now if i click the start menu up and click it down again the image of the start menu is still on the screen but it's not active, if you understand?
[16:14] <vite> ikonia: how does it work/
[16:15] <ikonia> vite: what do you mean ?
[16:15] <persiluhu> ikonia: :) sure. but it is. its not in lost+found or sth ... but: the owner was the system user and it was on an own partioin. any ideas?
[16:15] <Nfisher> Hi ! how do i start "screen -amdS ssh ~/script.sh" at startup!?!?
[16:15] <ikonia> persiluhu: it's gone
[16:15] <usuario> Hi! How do I install anything in Ubuntu 9.04 if repositories stopped updating last year?
[16:15] <MonkeyDust> Nfisher  try adding it to .profile
[16:16] <vite> ikonia: how does ubuntu 11.10 server energy management work
[16:16] <ikonia> you need to use the old repo, but be aware nothing is maintained, it's dead
[16:16] <ikonia> vite: what do you mean how does it work
[16:16] <xsl> auronandace: LjL: i installed the .deb using dpkg and it works fine, didn't break anything - ty for your support
[16:16] <LjL> Kasper: maybe the intel driver wasn't the right driver. try doing "cat /var/log/Xorg.*.log | grep -i driver"
[16:16] <usuario> HOYGAN que cómo hago yo la mierda esa
[16:16] <Nfisher> MonkeyDust, hmm?
[16:16] <LjL> !es | usuario
[16:17] <LjL> usuario: you should upgrade. anyway, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/
[16:17] <xsl> btw anyone knows a tool to capture server loads on a nice web interface ( cpu, mem, disk, network)
[16:17] <persiluhu> ikonia: thats shit! ^^ but how come that ubuntu does delete partitions on upgrade??? thats seems verry stupid ... btw home wasnt touched
[16:17] <Nfisher> MonkeyDust, how do i do that?
[16:17] <ikonia> persiluhu: easy with the language please
[16:17] <ikonia> persiluhu: it shouldn't do that, as I said
[16:17] <ikonia> persiluhu:  you need to find out why it did
[16:17] <usuario> blablabla thanks for your "UNatention"
[16:17] <usuario> bye
[16:17] <vite> ikonia: how is the energy managed?
[16:18] <ikonia> vite: through kernel processes
[16:18] <AndyUbuntu> ok, would anyone recommend any decent video editors?
[16:18] <persiluhu> ikonia: cant you give me hint where to start?
[16:18] <xsl> AndyUbuntu: kdenlive
[16:18] <xsl> !kdenlive | AndyUbuntu
[16:18] <ikonia> persiluhu: what do you mean ??? you did the upgrade, check the logs of what it did, check the documentation of what's meant to have done
[16:19] <ikonia> persiluhu: hang on
[16:19] <pangolin> AndyUbuntu: cinelerra, avidemux, stopmotion, blender, lives, openmovieeditor, jahshaka, openshot  —  GNOME: pitivi, kino  —  KDE: kdenlive  —  console: gopchop, avidemux-cli
[16:19] <ikonia> persiluhu: is /var/www on it's own partition ?
[16:19] <vite> ikonia: does that mean that if server idles or less cpu is needed, then it will consume less energy from the grid?
[16:19] <auronandace> xsl: AndyUbuntu seems to be having trouble with both kdenlive and openshot
[16:19] <persiluhu> it used to be
[16:19] <AndyUbuntu> xsl, thanks
[16:19] <ikonia> vite: it will request less from the PSU, how efficient your PSU is will depend on how much less energy it uses
[16:19] <AndyUbuntu> pangolin thanks I will have a look
[16:19] <Erealz> anyone run desura
[16:20] <MonkeyDust> Nfisher  maybe this link is useful http://www.linux-archive.org/ubuntu-user/421854-bashrc-profile-password-less-ssh.html
[16:20] <AndyUbuntu> does anyone know of the professional one that is coming to linux?
[16:20] <vite> I wonder if the power supply throttles back and uses less power from the grid if that happens
[16:20] <AndyUbuntu> preferrebly i would love to get kdenlive working again
[16:20] <persiluhu> ikonia: /var was on a own one. except www everything is still there
[16:21] <ikonia> vite: it should
[16:21] <AndyUbuntu> as it is awesome
[16:21] <ikonia> persiluhu: this is a sill question, but is your /var partition mounted ?
[16:21] <ikonia> silly
[16:21] <persiluhu> ikonia:sure
[16:22] <Nfisher> MonkeyDust, i now added a bashscript into /etc/init.d with the lines "screen -amdS ssh ~/script.sh" should do the job, huh?
[16:22] <Kasper> LjL: This is from the machine that I am currently on (the machine with no problems): http://pastebin.com/60mPuPhq - And this is from the one with the video problem: pastebin.com/M6dx1NDY
[16:22] <ikonia> persiluhu: has it just deleted the content of that one dir, or everytyhing on /var is new ?
[16:22] <zaki> hi
[16:22] <MonkeyDust> Nfisher  cannot say
[16:22] <zaki> which syslog log file is the most generic syslog log file in /var ?
[16:22] <whistler_> folks, I'm drowning in udev…. can somebody please explain to me how i can tell udev to ignore hard drives @boot time
[16:23] <whistler_> I' see there are blacklist rules… but not sure how to implement these appropraitely
[16:23] <ts2> zaki: I guess you mean /var/log/syslog
[16:23] <LjL> Kasper: intel seems correct to me based on that... i don't know :\
[16:23] <AndyUbuntu> ok anyone know why openshot would crash on importing any files?
[16:23] <zaki> ts2, may be, i'll check
[16:24] <Kasper> LjL: Ah well, it hasn't happened since a reboot. Knock on wood :)
[16:24] <vpl> hi
[16:24] <zaki> ts2, if you'll want to track what's going on in the system generally, which log file you'll tail -f ?
[16:24] <persiluhu> ikonia: seems all to be new. but there isnt even a new empty www
[16:25] <ikonia> persiluhu: is apache installed ?
[16:25] <ts2> zaki: that one
[16:25] <persiluhu> not anymore due to no internet connection on update. i expected that.
[16:25] <AndyUbuntu> could mlt be causing issues at all?
[16:26] <zaki> ts2, thx
[16:26] <AndyUbuntu> with both the video editors?
[16:26] <ikonia> persiluhu: I didn't expect that
[16:26] <ikonia> persiluhu: if you have apache installed and upgrade, it should upgrade apache, not remove it
[16:26] <ikonia> persiluhu: it should certainly not delete all of /var
[16:26] <ikonia> that is not an upgrade, that is a clean install
[16:26] <mdel> whats the deal with inotify limits?
[16:27] <mdel> i cant tail files right now
[16:27] <ikonia> in what way "the deal"
[16:27] <mdel>  tail tells me "no space left on device"
[16:27] <mdel> googled a bit, seems to be inotify related
[16:27] <ikonia> why do you think that's inotify ?
[16:27] <mdel> google told me
[16:27] <ikonia> ok - what did google tell you to do to fix it ?
[16:28] <mdel> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/700958
[16:28] <ikonia> mdel: ok, so what does the bug tell you to do to fix it ?
[16:28] <ikonia> is there a fix released ?
[16:28] <mdel> nothing
[16:28] <AndyUbuntu> apparently the issues with openshot and kdenlive stem from mlt
[16:28] <mdel> nope
[16:28] <persiluhu> ikonia: thats what i thought, too. may there be anything whith the ownership of www? i chown it to the systemuser to use it more comfortable while working on homepages. i hoped to find it in crypted private data or sth...but it isnt
[16:28] <ikonia> then there is no fix yet
[16:28] <ikonia> persiluhu: it really shouldn't matter
[16:28] <persiluhu> ikonia: k
[16:29] <ikonia> persiluhu: it should not be deleting anything, let alone the whole partition and un-installing applications
[16:29] <ikonia> persiluhu: what method did you use to upgrade ?
[16:29] <AndyUbuntu> does anyone have the latest version of kdenlive and mlt working?
[16:29] <AndyUbuntu> any responses would be a gift :P
[16:29] <xsl> I have
[16:29] <persiluhu> ikonia: i used a usb-stick and choosed update in the installermenu
[16:29] <xsl> AndyUbuntu: i have
[16:30] <ikonia> I'm not familier with how the usb routine would go, but I can only assume a bug
[16:30] <mdel> ikonia: i understand.. im not looking for a fix
[16:30] <mdel> im wondering what the hell inotfiy is doing
[16:30] <AndyUbuntu> which version of mlt are you using? xsl
[16:30] <mdel> why is there a limit at all
[16:30] <jpds> mdel: inotify is tracking the file for changes?
[16:31] <persiluhu> ikonia: upgrade, sry
[16:31] <mdel> jpds: not sure what it does
[16:31] <ikonia> persiluhu: I know what you meant
[16:31] <mdel> jpds: im trying to tail -f some log files
[16:31] <xsl> AndyUbuntu: 0.7.7+git20120115
[16:31] <persiluhu> ikonia: ^^ i dont want to look more stupid right now ;)
[16:31] <mdel> and it tells me "out of space"... found a bug report saying the error is not correct, and that the issue is that inotfiy limit is reached
[16:31] <jpds> mdel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inotify
[16:32] <ikonia> persiluhu: nothing stupid about what you are saying
[16:32] <xsl> anyone knows a nautilus frontend to format USB drives (fat32)
[16:32] <mdel> jpds: yes, I know
[16:32] <AndyUbuntu> xsl, did you install through the repo?
[16:32] <mdel> again, im wondering why there is a limit
[16:32] <persiluhu> ikonia: except for not backuping important data on upgrade
[16:32] <mdel> no worries, ill figure it out
[16:32] <ikonia> persiluhu: that's an error a lot of people make
[16:33] <jpds> mdel: To make sure that not too many resources are being used and stopping everything from going out of control?
[16:33] <mdel> jpds: i guess, but having a fixed limit per session is strange
[16:34] <AndyUbuntu> xsl i have the exact same version and its not rendering anything with kdenlive.
[16:35] <AndyUbuntu> with mlt not working it actually effects both openshot and kdenlive
[16:35] <whistler_> guys, i am building a software raid array with 30 disks…. what would be an appropriate method for determining which disks is which once it fails… i know /etc/mdstat will tell me /dev/sdy or what have you… but how do i know which one is /dev/sdy.. can i statically set udev to auto mount a particular drive as a particular device…. thank you.
[16:37] <compdoc> whistler_, that sounds a bit crazy
[16:37] <whistler_> how do?
[16:37] <whistler_> so
[16:37] <xsl> AndyUbuntu: but you can open it properly? only the rendering has problems?
[16:37] <persiluhu> ikonia: thx for your time, so  far. do you have any further ideas, or shall this remain a mystery?
[16:37] <xsl> AndyUbuntu: i installed the PPA
[16:38] <ikonia> persiluhu: you'll need to go through the logs/upgrade logs, there is no way this should happen. I'd also suggest (if possible) re-install and re-try the same upgrade to see if this is reproducable
[16:38] <compdoc> 30 disk software raid. how do you even attach 30 disks?
[16:39] <AndyUbuntu> xsl, i installed via the ppa also, its just when rendering. I can choose to render in any way and it crashes instantly
[16:39] <persiluhu> ikonia: ok ill give it another try.
[16:39] <whistler_> one of these: http://blog.backblaze.com/category/storage-pod/
[16:39] <xsl> AndyUbuntu: i dont render in a few weeks... let me check it
[16:40] <AndyUbuntu> xsl, ok thanks. I rendered a few files before christmas and it was fine
[16:40] <AndyUbuntu> first time rendering again recently
[16:41] <zivester> anyone know how to find the total filesize of all *.jpg files in the current directory (not recursively)
[16:42] <whistler_> du -h ./*.jpg
[16:42] <whistler_> then add em up using cut
[16:42] <whistler_> script it
[16:42] <LjL> no need
[16:43] <LjL> there is a --total option
[16:43] <whistler_> jiggy
[16:43] <whistler_> so du -h ./*.jpg --total    ?
[16:44] <zivester> `du -c *.jpg` : -bash: /usr/bin/du: Argument list too long
[16:44] <LjL> whistler_: that works.
[16:44] <LjL> zivester: uhm, that will happen if you have very many files...
[16:44] <nvictor> hey all
[16:45] <nvictor> weird characters have appeared in my folder
[16:45] <nvictor> and i can't delete them
[16:45] <nvictor> not sure if they are files or subfolders
[16:46] <Kasper> LjL: Thank you very much for your help, have a nice day!
[16:48] <nobo__> Hi how can i block connections from my vpn to port 5900
[16:48] <chicognu> there is a keyboard shortcut to switch between a active aplication to the launcher ?
[16:49] <gamerpro2000> chicognu, what do you mean exactly?
[16:49] <gamerpro2000> Alt+Tab doesn't work?
[16:49]  * llsam  looking for the supporter who i talk 2hours bevor. Forgot his nick.
[16:49] <chicognu> by "laucher" I mean the sidebar in the left side with the aplication shortcut gamerpro2000
[16:50] <AndyUbuntu> surely this should of been tested before releasing
[16:50] <gamerpro2000> Right.....why exactly do you need to switch to it?  Its always persistent on the side, so its not going anywhere
[16:50] <AndyUbuntu> i thought everything was working will prior to any updates s
[16:50] <LjL> gamerpro2000: uh, is it? i thought it disappeared when you maximized windows or moved them towards it
[16:51] <chicognu> gamerpro2000, when the active aplication are maximized it disapear
[16:51] <gamerpro2000> Hmmmm.....I thought if you hovered on the farthest left point of the screen with maximized applications, it would reappear......
[16:51] <auronandace> llsam: hi
[16:52] <gamerpro2000> I usually use the Ubuntu Classic Gnome environment, though, so..........not an expert.  However, you can use the "Show Desktop" widget to hide all maximized windows and get back to the desktop
[16:53] <CharminTheMoose> I'm doing some debugging of the bootcd-i386/bootcd-mkinitramfs packages.. can udev and filesystems like /dev/pts and /dev/shm stop functioning properly due to doing mount --move, while it's still running?
[16:53] <chicognu> gamerpro2000,  my deskto is a little bit slow, brb
[16:53] <gamerpro2000> Chicognu, ok.
[16:55] <gamerpro2000> AndyUbuntu, while I wait for him to return, what issue where you having?
[16:55] <gamerpro2000> *were
[16:55] <gamerpro2000> Also, I'm surprised its so quiet in here.  There is practically nobody talking.
[16:56] <AndyUbuntu> it seems everytime i go to render a video the renderer crashes
[16:56] <nvictor> exit
[16:56] <nvictor> exit
[16:56] <nvictor> lol wrong window
[16:56] <chicognu> gamerpro2000, I'm newbie to unit, almost never use it before... Where is the "show the desktop widget" ?
[16:56] <AndyUbuntu> this is everytime when using kdenlive
[16:57] <gamerpro2000> chicognu, I think you can add menu bar widgets in Unity and one of them is a show desktop button.  Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but try right clicking on the menu at the top and see if you get an add widget option
[16:57] <rabc> just installed latest lubuntu is there any way to update drivers for usb devices usb 2.0 hard drive caddy not showing up
[16:57] <gamerpro2000> Again, I'm not much of an Ubuntu Unity person.    Does it show up as connected when you run demsg?
[16:58] <AndyUbuntu> gamerpro2000 it seems it is an issue with mlt though dont know what it could be
[16:58] <gamerpro2000> AndyUbuntu, mtl?
[16:58] <rabc> thx gamepro2000 what is demsg thx
[16:58] <gamerpro2000> *mlt
[16:58] <AndyUbuntu> gamerpro2000 mlt
[16:58] <AndyUbuntu> yeah
[16:59] <gamerpro2000> rabc, dmesg is a terminal command.  It shows the message buffer for the kernel, and since the kernel controls hardware-to-software interaction, it'll tell you if a new device has been connected when it finishes outputting all the other stuff going on.
[17:00] <rabc> k ill try that gamepro2000 thx
[17:00] <gamerpro2000> So if you open terminal and run it, it'll give you a bunch of data on kernel information and the ending should have something about "USB High Speed Device" or whatever connected when you plug in the hard drive.  That is, if its even working/showing up
[17:00] <rabc> k thx ill try that
[17:01] <gamerpro2000> No problem.  Its a good generic hardware diagnostic command to learn how to use if you're going to mess with linux
[17:01] <NeverHere> is it possible to send a ubuntu system a command from remote, without logging into the system? just to send a simple command?
[17:02] <gamerpro2000> rabc: Make sure the simple stuff is checked before messing with that, though.  Power, Another USB port, etc.
[17:02] <gamerpro2000> NeverHere, easiest way to run remote commands is through SSH
[17:02] <NeverHere> yes gamer1990 but i don't want to have to ssh onto my server everytime my bot dies just to start it again
[17:03] <gamerpro2000> NeverHere, what kind of bot?  Would a cron job that restarts it be out of the question?
[17:03] <NeverHere> hmm
[17:03] <NeverHere> its an eggdrop bot
[17:03] <atpa8a> hello
[17:04] <atpa8a> is it possible to prohibit apt-get (or do-release-upgrade) from restarting services?
[17:04] <gamerpro2000> NeverHere: Hmmm.......Never used Eggdrop's IRC bot before.  For now, I suppose you could probably run a service eggdrop restart or whatever the service is called on an hourly cron.
[17:04] <NeverHere> what is a cron?
[17:04] <NeverHere> i have never heard of this before
[17:04] <jpds> !cron | NeverHere
[17:05] <rabc> yea thx gamepro2000 it show the usb usb 1-3: new high speed USB device number 10 using ehci_hcd
[17:05] <rabc> [ 2248.739851] scsi8 : usb-storage 1-3:1.0
[17:05] <NeverHere> gamer1990, i'll give it a shot
[17:05] <rabc> and "sb 1-3: USB disconnect, device number 10" when swithed off
[17:05] <gamerpro2000> NeverHere, Cron is the automated scheduler that runs things on certain periods of time, generally hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly.  There is folders under /etc/ that have cron.daily, cron.weekly, and so on that you can but bash scripts in that will run then on the cycle they are configured.
[17:06] <gamerpro2000> So just make an executable script, put it in there, and it'll run
[17:06] <nW44b> hi, i put the 'nomoseset' option. I had to : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1864957 . Does it means that i will never be able to hibernate or put it in sleep mode ?
[17:06] <nW44b> *nomodeset
[17:07] <gamerpro2000> nW44b, I think you can still sleep and hibernate.  Disabling ACPI will break that, but not a nomodeset argument.....I think.  Don't quote me on that.
[17:08] <nW44b> gamerpro2000: well, i tried both, and it just does not work.
[17:08] <Michael_> Hi! I cannot get middle mouse button emulation working under 11.10. this is my xorg.conf https://gist.github.com/1641203 I've also tried activating it in "gpointing-device-settings" Any ideas what else I could try?
[17:08] <Teroristu> hi all
[17:09] <gamerpro2000> nW44b, have you tried messing with your BIOS settings for S1 and S3 power controls?  Sometimes sleeping is disabled in your BIOS and that breaks Ubuntu's ability to sleep.
[17:09] <mang0> is it possible to add a custom launcher to the 11.10 sidebar?
[17:09] <gamerpro2000> mang0: Custom Launcher?  Clarify please.
[17:09] <nW44b> gamerpro2000: S1 and S3 ?
[17:10] <mang0> gamer1990: I have a binary that I want to link to in the sidebar, so I can open it without browsing the the directory etc. Could I just drag and drop the binary into the sidebar to add a launcher to it?
[17:10] <gamerpro2000> mW44b: S0-5 are different operating modes.  S0 is on, S1 is light sleep, and the further you go, the deeper the sleep.
[17:11] <gamerpro2000> mang0, you should be able to.  As I was telling another person earlier, me and Unity are not friends, but I'm pretty sure any shortcut will drop in the Ubity launcher.
[17:11] <gamerpro2000> *Unity
[17:11] <Budd> My wireless connection isn't taking its ip6 address (or adopting a local-link one). tcpdump shows that radvd packets are coming in.
[17:12] <ansaralsunnah> hi
[17:12] <mang0> gamer1990: Me and Unity are not friends either, but I hate xfce and kde even more, and gnome-shell seems to be uber slow, practically unusable... :(
[17:12] <ansaralsunnah> how i cam flood
[17:12] <ansaralsunnah> guyes
[17:12] <ansaralsunnah> ??
[17:12] <ansaralsunnah> i hav loic
[17:12] <jutnux> ansaralsunnah: We aren't going to tell you that here.
[17:12] <ansaralsunnah> i need chnall and server name
[17:12] <ansaralsunnah> plz
[17:12] <gamerpro2000> mang0, Gnome Desktop?  Slow?  I've heard of more people complaining about Unity being slow than anything.
[17:12] <gamerpro2000> mang0: You've tried Ubuntu Classic?
[17:12] <ansaralsunnah> ok admin
[17:12] <mang0> gamer1990: Feel free to SSH into my machine and see for yourself! :P
[17:13] <mang0> gamer1990: Gnome classic sesssion you mean?
[17:13] <jutnux> Gnome-shell is majorly slow and uses a lot of ram.
[17:13] <gamer1990> please stop highlighting the wrong person -.-
[17:13] <ansaralsunnah> what??
[17:13] <ansaralsunnah> just one talk
[17:13] <ansaralsunnah> heheh
[17:13] <gamerpro2000> mang0: This is what I'm talking about: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/08/return-to-ubuntu-classic-desktop-in-ubuntu-11-10/
[17:13] <jutnux> ansaralsunnah: You aren't going to be told.
[17:13] <ansaralsunnah> ok
[17:14] <Ivoz> Hi there.  Most stuff dissapeared, and nothing worked. I hard rebooted. If I start ubuntu normally, it never loads any of the 5 dots. If I start it in recovery mode, the screen stays black. What do? T_T
[17:14] <mang0> gamerpro2000: Ugh, this is so confusing, gamerpro and gamer - sorry gamer1990, I'll watch out next time :P
[17:14] <kristjan> hi, which display manager does xubuntu  11.10 use by default? is it lightdm?
[17:14] <adom> xubuntu uses xfce i thought. someone correct me?
[17:14] <adom> hence the "x"
[17:15] <mang0> gamerpro2000: Seems that the sidebar won't take my binary. To google, and beyond!
[17:15] <gamerpro2000> mang0: I was wondering why you kept getting my name wrong, but whatever.  haha.
[17:15] <ts2> kristjan: yes, lightdm
[17:15] <gamerpro2000> Mang0, personally, if I was you, I've just revert to class Gnome......but your choice :P .
[17:15] <kristjan> ts2, ok thanks
[17:15] <ts2> adom: xfce is a desktop interface, lightdm is the login manager
[17:16] <ktraglin> adom: you're correct
[17:16] <gamerpro2000> Budd: What wireless problems are you having?
[17:16] <gamerpro2000> You can't receive an IPv6 DHCP address?
[17:16] <ansaralsunnah> ه ؤشىف بمخخيهىل
[17:16] <MonkeyDust> !ar| ansaralsunnah
[17:16] <Teroristu> jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
[17:16] <ansaralsunnah> i cant
[17:16] <ansaralsunnah> do it
[17:16] <Ivoz> anyone?
[17:16] <mang0> gamer1990: I do like Gnome, but tbh, the way I see it: In just a few weeks time, I'm going to be buying a new computer, with at least 4GB ram and quad-core, so in theory that *should* just about run gnome-shell, hehe! And yeah, I was deleberately tabbing 1990, it was a mistake!
[17:16] <Teroristu> fsfsd
[17:16] <MonkeyDust> well...
[17:16] <mang0> deliberately*
[17:16] <ansaralsunnah> aha
[17:16] <jutnux> !arabic | ansaralsunnah
[17:17] <thiago_> oi
[17:17] <gamerpro2000> OI!
[17:17] <MonkeyDust> polloi
[17:17] <thiago_> algum brazuca?
[17:17] <pangolin> !br
[17:18] <Lantizia> I'm trying to setup an NFS server, all the files i'm trying to share are nobody:nogroup and when i mount them on the client machines I'd like to be able to read/write to them without making them owned by any one particular user... is this possibel?
[17:18] <thiago_> bom tarde
[17:18] <RingZer0> QUESTION: My current user Todd would like to launch a GTK (x) application as another user, ringzer0.  I am trying: xhost +ringzer0 && su ringzer0 -c "google-chrome" but to no avail.  This can not be this difficult of a thing to do.  Its so ez with Windowz, right click, run-as.
[17:18] <gamerpro2000> Lantizia: Just change the permissions to 777 and make the owner everyone:everyone
[17:18] <MonkeyDust> Lantizia  it is, how far did you get?
[17:18] <gamerpro2000> Keep in mind, this means ANYONE can edit them, so be careful who can access it
[17:19] <gamerpro2000> Generally, its a terrible security practice to do it that way.....but its possible.
[17:19] <Ivoz> How can I troubleshoot ubuntu not booting?
[17:19] <gamerpro2000> Ivoz: Please elaborate more.  "Not booting" describes about 100 million things
[17:19] <MonkeyDust> Lantizia  basically, chmod 666 or 777 gives all rights to all
[17:20] <gamerpro2000> Lantizia: What MonkeyDust said
[17:20] <Nach0z> Ivoz: when you see the purple screen with dots, hit alt-tab or esc to see the bootup sequence, it'll help people here know what the problem is
[17:20] <Lantizia> MonkeyDust, I'd prefer not to do that... as when apps/games and generally people make/edit files on it - not always do you get those permissions
[17:21] <Ivoz> gamerpro2000: normal boot - none of the 5 rings ever glow. recovery boot - after 2 lines, one about something deprecated, the screen stays black
[17:21] <MonkeyDust> Lantizia  then who must be able to r/w ?
[17:21] <thiago_> I have the Xubuntu 10.04 in my Notebook. And I want know the way to upgrade my Kernel for 3.0 of more. I try this, through download on the Kernel.or, and then, I extract the bz2 file, but the ssytem continues with 2.6 kernel. Anyone know the best way to do this?
[17:21] <gamerpro2000> Ivoz: Do what Nach0z said.
[17:21] <Lantizia> MonkeyDust, anyone
[17:21] <MonkeyDust> Lantizia  then what's wrong with chmod 777 ?
[17:22] <Lantizia> MonkeyDust, I just said
[17:22] <gamerpro2000> thiago_: Its best to upgrade to 11.10 if you want the 3.0 kernel.  10.04 was built for 2.6.  You can upgrade it, but you have to compile it for it to work correctly.
[17:22] <MonkeyDust> Lantizia  yes, and it's contradictory
[17:22] <Ivoz> alright, thanks Nach0z, gamerpro2000
[17:22] <gamerpro2000> Ivoz: No problem.  Stop back in when you have more
[17:22] <gamerpro2000> Well....nevermind....you're gone already.  haha.
[17:22] <sjuxax> hello. I just accidentally executed rm -rf /usr/share on a slowish machine. It only ran < 5 seconds so I don't think many packages were hurt. How can I run aptitude in such a way that this will be fixed?
[17:23] <gamerpro2000> sjuxax: Where you running it as root?
[17:23] <gamerpro2000> or sudo?
[17:23] <sjuxax> yes
[17:23] <thiago_> very good. gamerpro2000
[17:23] <thiago_> thanx man
[17:23] <gamerpro2000> thiago_: No problem
[17:24] <sjuxax> gamerpro2000: clearly, otherwise nothing would have happened -- i was trying delete a subdirectory. I think barely any damage was done so I don't want to hassle with a reinstall
[17:24] <sjuxax> I just want a sanity check form aptitude and reinstall the missing pieces
[17:24] <thiago_> the NFTS partition's cant be read now
[17:24] <Michael_> Hi! I cannot get middle mouse button emulation working under 11.10. this is my xorg.conf https://gist.github.com/1641203 I've also tried activating it in "gpointing-device-settings" Any ideas what else I could try?
[17:24] <thiago_> but the 3.0 kernell allow me to read this file system
[17:24] <jutnux> sjuxax: You can't.
[17:25] <thiago_> and I need this facility
[17:25] <gamerpro2000> sjuxax: Right, but I didn't know how much of a power user you are.  Some people join these chats with less knowledge than how to plug in the power cable.
[17:25] <sjuxax> jutnux: There is no function within aptitude to check for missing files from packages?
[17:25] <gamerpro2000> Wasn't trying to sounds stupid.  Just wanted to see if you needed to do anything at all or if nothing really happened.
[17:25] <thiago_> understand? but ok, I need now upgrade the Xubuntu version
[17:25] <sjuxax> I just have to reinstall this whole thing?
[17:25] <mbeierl> RingZer0: this behaviour is part of the security of the Linux desktop.  The display itself is access controlled too.  you need to do an xhost + (for anyone) or xhost +localhost (to allow local connections).  The thing after the "+" is the computer name, not the user
[17:25] <xangua> sjuxax: well yo do not deletet 'packages' , you deleted files
[17:25] <jutnux> sjuxax: You deleted parts of files.
[17:26] <DragonSlay> sjuxax: repair broken packages using synaptic
[17:26] <jutnux> sjuxax: Let this be a lesson to you not to force changes unless absolutely sure what happened.
[17:26] <AndyUbuntu> woooo, awesome. Still cant find a decent fix for the kdenlive issues  :)
[17:26] <sjuxax> jutnux: I deleted whole files -- the only partially deleted files would have the pieces that were being processed at the time I ctrl+c'd
[17:26] <sjuxax> DragonSlay: Thanks, I'll give it a try
[17:26] <DragonSlay> sjuxax: also try reconfiguring packages.
[17:26] <AndyUbuntu> wooooo, yeah :)
[17:26] <xangua> (11:25:00) thiago_: but the 3.0 kernell allow me to read this file system - do you have ntfs-3g installed¿
[17:27] <mang0> gamerpro2000: In case you're interested, I found it. http://askubuntu.com/questions/80013/how-to-pin-eclipse-to-the-unity-launcher All sorted!
[17:27] <gamerpro2000> sjuxax: Its possible you could piece it back together if you have a proper backup, but trying to repair it is going to take more time than a reinstall.....I know from personal experience when removing a user who's home directory I forgot I had assigned to my storage drive and told it to delete the users home dir upon deletion X-(
[17:27] <gamerpro2000> mang0: Thanks.  Will hang onto that in my bookmarks for future reference and take a peek
[17:28] <mbeierl> RingZer0: then, when executing the program, it might still need to have its DISPLAY environment variable set, so the program knows where the output is supposed to go: su ringzer0 -c "DISPLAY=:0.0 google-chrome"
[17:28] <thiago_> yes xangua
[17:28] <RingZer0> mbeierl: did you read my full thing?  I did that.
[17:28] <thiago_> ops...one moment
[17:28] <sjuxax> yeah, it looks like I am just going to have to reinstall. That is pretty lame. Oh well.
[17:28] <mang0> gamerpro2000: You make a .desktop file with the infomation needed, which you can then put into your sidebar.
[17:28] <mang0> sjuxax: What's the problem?
[17:28] <gamerpro2000> mang0
[17:28] <thiago_> Xangua, this is a program for Xubuntu to read the NFTS partitions?
[17:29] <gamerpro2000> mang0: He accidentally ran an rm command as root and nuked part of his drive.
[17:29] <mang0> Uh oh
[17:29] <mbeierl> RingZer0: I only see your one post.  What else did you say in your "full thing"?
[17:29] <xangua> !info ntfs-3g | thiago_
[17:29] <MonkeyDust> gamerpro2000  root is never a good idea
[17:29] <mang0> gamerpro2000: I'm too scared to ever use rm. I just open a root nautilus if I need to delete protected files!
[17:29] <dies_irae> I wish I could drag and drop youtube vids from browser to my Desktop
[17:29] <sjuxax> mang0: It's not as bad as that -- the process barely occurred, this machine is a VM on a portable disk so drive activity is quite slow
[17:29] <MonkeyDust> dies_irae  days of sorrow
[17:30] <sjuxax> it ran < 5 secs
[17:30] <AndyUbuntu> has anyone had any issues with kdenlive on ubuntu 11.10 recently?
[17:30] <AndyUbuntu> anyone at all?
[17:30] <mbeierl> RingZer0: unless you're telling me that "ringzer0" is also the name of the computer and it is set to <IP_ADDRESS> or so in /etc/hosts
[17:30] <sjuxax> so, since only a handful of packages were affected, I was hoping there was a way to make aptitude check for missing files and fix
[17:30] <gamerpro2000> sjuxax: 5 seconds in computer time is about 5 million calculations and operations :P .  Haha.
[17:30] <jutnux> sjuxax: It'll still delete <10kb files pretty quickly.
[17:30] <mang0> sjuxax: I see. So you didn't rm -rf / or something :P
[17:30] <sjuxax> mang0: I rm -rf /usr/share ;)
[17:30] <gamerpro2000> MonkeyDust: True, but root is necessary at times.
[17:30] <xangua> dies_irae: there are plenty programs that do that
[17:30] <gamerpro2000> Hence why it exists.  I just make damned sure I'm certain what I'm doing before I do it
[17:31] <mang0> sjuxax: O.o
[17:31] <thiago_> ok, but the reading procedure is for terminal (text only) or you can see the files on the desktop in the Thunar?
[17:32] <sjuxax> Can I run the installer in "unattended" mode?
[17:32] <gamerpro2000> sjuxax: For future reference, in case you oops again, I would make a backup of "/" on a seperate drive either using a cron script or to a server using something like the BackupPC package.
[17:32] <thiago_> I go to he apt-get to download and install this program.
[17:33] <gamerpro2000> BRB guys
[17:33] <xubuntu> hey
[17:33] <xubuntu> guys
[17:33] <thiago_> Other and finally question? Anyone indicate some book to get the basics and intermediates concepts, principles and tricks for Linux users?
[17:33] <xubuntu> i am installing xubuntu
[17:33] <xubuntu> but i got a prob
[17:33] <xubuntu> when i select my language
[17:34] <xubuntu> and then it is preparing xubunut
[17:34] <sjuxax> gamerpro2000: I have it under control, thanks. This was a VM I just minted last night so it's not a big deal. I will however create a template VM for Oneiric as I was tempted to do last night but was too lazy :\
[17:34] <xubuntu> and when i click at continue
[17:34] <xubuntu> the installer freezes :-(
[17:34] <xubuntu> ...
[17:34] <AndyUbuntu> heres something that could help, when i go to render. it says "No matching profile"
[17:34] <xubuntu> ...
[17:34] <AndyUbuntu> that could be something
[17:34] <xubuntu> could somebody help me
[17:34] <xubuntu> i got earlier xubuntu
[17:34] <thiago_> I want understand more for that OS and dominate more for bases, commands, that things...
[17:35] <xubuntu> and everything working fine
[17:35] <Pici> !enter
