[15:45] <theadmin> Petskull: Please stop your random swearing, this is a support channel, not a... complaining channel
[15:45] <usr13> allballs: Did you do it?
[15:45] <auronandace> Petskull: easy option?
[15:45] <melvincv> LjL, weird, right? :( This is a computer from the time when windows XP released ;)
[15:45] <Petskull> heh- point taken
[15:45] <allballs> usr13: in progress.
[15:45] <bastidrazor> Petskull: maybe it didn't like your capitilization of the mount point?
[15:45] <LjL> melvincv: well, i guess it's *possible* it's too old to have sensors, however sensors have been around for a long time now
[15:45] <Petskull> theadmin, I'm swearing?
[15:45] <theadmin> Petskull: lol, someone should make #ubuntu-complains, there's a lot to complain about recently ;)
[15:46] <Petskull> heheh
[15:46] <melvincv> lol, yeah
[15:46] <theadmin> Petskull: But yeah, "kick in the balls" is sort of a swear, don't you think?
[15:46] <usr13> allballs: If and when it finishes successfully, do this:  sudo do-release-upgrade
[15:46] <Petskull> bastidrazor, nah- it use to allow you to type in a mountpoint, now it only lets you choose one from a dropdown
[15:47] <Petskull> ok ok, I haven't said anything since
[15:47] <allballs> usr13: yep.
[15:47] <usr13> yep what>?
[15:47] <Petskull> anyway- when you tell the ubuntu installer to use something as ntfs, now it only lets you choose '/dos' or '/windows'
[15:47] <Tixos> can anyone tell me how to run an executable text file from a command, so i can put it as a GNOME menu item
[15:47] <allballs> yep == that is what I will do.
[15:48] <usr13> Ok  very well.
[15:48] <theadmin> Tixos: /path/to/whatever/the/filename/is
[15:48] <Tixos> didnt work
[15:48] <theadmin> Tixos: Is it marked as executable?
[15:48] <usr13> Tixos: depends on the type of executable file
[15:48] <Tixos> Failed to execute child process "/" (No such file or directory)
[15:48] <Tixos> i removed my path
[15:48] <usr13> Tixos: Waht command did you use?
[15:48] <Tixos> its 'Mantra' browser
[15:49] <usr13> *What
[15:49] <Tixos> if i double click the file it works
[15:49] <Tixos> "Mantra Security Toolkit - Gandiva" is an executable text file.
[15:49] <Tixos> 'Run'
[15:49] <theadmin> Tixos: Ahem, you need to kinda escape the spaces
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> Tixos: symlink the file into /usr/bin
[15:49] <Petskull> I *do* like that it asks you the config question during the install instead of before it
[15:49] <Petskull> smart
[15:49] <theadmin> Tixos: Make sure you put the path in quotes if it has weird characters like those
[15:49] <FreDuw> Thank you, Boot-Repair worked fine.
[15:49] <usr13> Tixos: The tap key is your friend
[15:49] <Petskull> even though it only saves like 2 minutes
[15:50] <Tixos> you lost me ...
[15:50] <auronandace> !tab | Tixos
[15:50] <theadmin> Tixos: Spaces are special (weird) characters, you need to write the path in the manner like this: "/path/to/whatever/lol"
[15:50] <omgwut> !ops
[15:50] <theadmin> Tixos: With those quotes
[15:51] <Tixos> ok
[15:51] <Tixos> i just renamed it lol
[15:51] <D_russ> hola amigos
[15:51] <KM0201> theadmin: wouldn't that be "/path/to/what ever/lol"
[15:51] <KM0201> ;)
[15:51] <usr13> Tixos: What command did you use, (that does not work for you)?
[15:51] <theadmin> KM0201: Well, the point is still there, the quotes are the point
[15:51] <KM0201> theadmin: i know, i was teasing you.. :)
[15:52] <usr13> Tixos: Oh, ok, you got it then.
[15:52] <Tixos> usr13: like theadmin said, it was the spaces, so i renamed to singluar words + dirs and its fine
[15:52] <theadmin> Tixos: You could have just used the quotes
[15:52] <soulslayer> hey guys how i can reenable the ubuntu on boot OS detection ?
[15:52] <D_russ> soo how is everyone?
[15:52] <Tixos> or i could have quoted like he pointed out
[15:52] <soulslayer> there was a flag somewhere in init.d/
[15:52] <Tixos> i know but i had already done it :P
[15:52] <soulslayer> but ... i cat remember where it is
[15:52] <auronandace> !ot | D_russ
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> !away > Clueless_AWAY
[15:53] <D_russ> i know ubottu. believe me my question is coming. lol
[15:53] <theadmin> D_russ: ubottu is a bot, no point in talking to her
[15:53] <soulslayer> someone ?
[15:54] <D_russ> k
[15:54] <D_russ> so anyone in here good at KB & mouse issues?
[15:54] <nixmaniack> is there any way we can simulate the 'middle click of Mouse' with keyboard?
[15:55] <h00k> D_russ: just go ahead and ask the actual question.
[15:55] <usr13> nixmaniack: Exactly what is it you want to accomplish?
[15:55] <nixmaniack> usr13, the middle click paste function
[15:55] <usr13> nixmaniack: What exactly is your situation?  Do you have a mouse?  If so, what kind?
[15:56] <usr13> nixmaniack: is it just a two button mouse?
[15:56] <melvincv> !away
[15:56] <D_russ> well my mouse and keyboard dont work for 3-5 minutes after a restart. never fals always a 3-5 minute delay before i can use either after a restart.
[15:56] <WinCamXP> Hello!
[15:57] <WinCamXP> I wanted to know how well Ubuntu would run on a Toshiba Satellite 1115-S103
[15:57] <nixmaniack> usr13, no, it's 3 button, but i need it sometimes when i select something from somewhere and get on keyboard and type and paste without going to mouse
[15:57] <WinCamXP> If I'm not mistaken, it has 512MB of RAM
[15:57] <usr13> nixmaniack: If you are copying from and to GUI apps, you can use   Ctrl-c  and  Ctrl-v
[15:57] <Petskull> D_russ, wow... no idea!  I'd try reinstalling
[15:57] <Petskull> but that's me
[15:57] <melvincv> WinCamXP, The best way is to try it from the Live CD
[15:57] <D_russ> try it and see wincamxp
[15:57] <ameer> hi there..
[15:57] <nixmaniack> usr13, that i know!! but i use both buffers of pasting
[15:57] <usr13> nixmaniack: I see.
[15:58] <WinCamXP> my internet was just out though, dont know how well downloading an entire ISO of ubuntu would work
[15:58] <melvincv> WinCamXP, Or perhaps install it inside windows
[15:58] <D_russ> is there a way to reinstall and keep all current apps and settings?
[15:58] <Petskull> WinCamXP, google it?  That's what I do.  "ubuntu on Toshiba SuperCrap3i6"
[15:58] <usr13> nixmaniack: ... and I do to sometimes, but I use the mouse to do it.
[15:58] <auronandace> D_russ: what mouse and keyboard are you using?
[15:58] <nixmaniack> usr13, so is there any way of simulating it? I had seen this simulated in Blender but don't know how they did it
[15:58] <WinCamXP> hmm, I read on the forums, sometime before '08 these two guys had toshiba laptops and had button artifacting issues, they turned something off in their xorg config to fix it
[15:59] <usr13> nixmaniack: I use a combination of the mouse's middle button, (the scroll wheel) and Ctrl-c  and   Ctrl-v
[15:59] <WinCamXP> would this still apply 3 years later?
[15:59] <D_russ> auronandace: MS wireless usb mouse and an hp usb KB.
[15:59] <theadmin> WinCamXP: We can't predict the future
[15:59] <dr_willis> WinCamXP:  perhaps not. My x505 works fine
[15:59] <usr13> well, I don't know really
[15:59]  * Petskull can!
[15:59] <auronandace> D_russ: both are wireless?
[15:59]  * Petskull hunts down his crystal ball
[15:59] <D_russ> no keyboard is wired
[16:00] <WinCamXP> hmm, also, this laptop uses a PCI or whatever card for my wireless network, should that work?
[16:00] <marowanna> WinCamXP?
[16:00] <WinCamXP> its certainly not a very new one
[16:00] <Petskull> WinCamXP, just torrent the ISO with uTorrent, burn it, and try it
[16:00] <Petskull> who knows
[16:00] <marowanna> a pcmcia card?
[16:00] <CharlieSu> Are there instructions for putting the UBUNTU install CD onto a SD card anywhere?  I'd be doing it from an OSX laptop
[16:00] <WinCamXP> it goes into the side of the laptop...
[16:00] <auronandace> D_russ: hmm, the keyboard shouldn't take 3-5 mins to kick in
[16:00] <dirty19> I am using Ubuntu 11.04. I recently installed updates after few months. When I boot, after showing the ubuntu logo, it gets stuck on a blank screen. I have an ATI 5430 HD mobility Radeon graphic card. I removed nvidia common package (which also removed ubuntu-desktop) thinking it might be causing a conflict. What should I do?
[16:00] <Petskull> raise your hand is you have a Toshiba 115-S103
[16:00]  * Petskull looks around
[16:00]  * WinCamXP raises hand
[16:01] <WinCamXP> actually its three 1's
[16:01] <D_russ> auronandace: the keyboard is wired
[16:01] <allballs> usr13: doing release-upgrade now -- wish me luck.
[16:01] <Petskull> heh- it's ok
[16:01] <auronandace> D_russ: i know, you said, thats why i said it shouldn't take 3-5 mins to kick in
[16:02] <Petskull> D_russ, hit it with a hammer
[16:02] <Petskull> need to borrow a hammer?
[16:02] <ks07> Hey guys, I'm trying to mount a filesystem with sshfs, but I'm getting permission denied on /dev/fuse - The permissions are fine, and my user is part of the fuse group. Any suggestions?
[16:02] <Petskull> that's a weird problem..
[16:02] <WinCamXP> it was a gift from my grandparents....it was loaded with malware and crap, went at the speed of a pentium 2 trying to run a minecraft server even after cleaning
[16:02] <usr13> nixmaniack: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man8/mouseemu.8.html
[16:02] <auronandace> D_russ: tried using different usb ports?
[16:02] <usr13> allballs: good luck!   :)
[16:02] <james333james> hey is anybody available to help me with my english it need just few seconds
[16:02] <D_russ> its a ubuntu issue. its a dualboot machine and the KB & mouse work perfectly on windows.
[16:02] <h00k> james333james: try ##english please
[16:02] <james333james> thankx
[16:03] <nixmaniack> usr13, oh great!! thanks a lot..
[16:03] <WinCamXP> this is freenode, there's a channel for everything
[16:03] <WinCamXP> ....everything.
[16:03] <dirty19> I am using Ubuntu 11.04. I recently installed updates after few months. When I boot, after showing the ubuntu logo, it gets stuck on a blank screen. I have an ATI 5430 HD mobility Radeon graphic card. I removed nvidia common package (which also removed ubuntu-desktop) thinking it might be causing a conflict. What should I do?
[16:03] <D_russ> someone suggested i reinstall natty. can that be done and keep my current settings and apps
[16:03] <theadmin> D_russ: Back up your home directory
[16:03] <Petskull> WinCamXP, I've install ubuntu on some pretty crap hardware before
[16:03] <Petskull> try it- let us know
[16:03] <WinCamXP> dirty19: im not a very good person with that, but try booting into a livecd or into the command line and installing ubuntu-desktop with sudo apt-get
[16:04] <Petskull> yeah- D_russ try that first!!
[16:04] <Petskull> a livecd
[16:04] <D_russ> so back up that directory and then after reinstall, just drag and drop and overwrite?
[16:04] <theadmin> D_russ: Quite so.
[16:04] <Petskull> tell me if you still have the issue there
[16:04] <dr_willis> D_russ:  unles syou want system settings saved also.. then it gets harder
[16:05] <WinCamXP> what key did old toshibas use to access the bios during startup?
[16:05] <Petskull> WinCamXP, a hammer
[16:05] <usr13> D_russ:   If you have your /home directory on a separate partition, you can just install and leave it un-formatted and use same user name and you'll have it all there when youre done.
[16:05] <Petskull> try f2 or del
[16:05] <D_russ> system settings such as?
[16:05] <Petskull> or f12
[16:05] <auronandace> WinCamXP: a google search will find that out quickly
[16:05] <KM0201> D_russ: pretty much, but that won't reinstall your apps, all your /home directory is, is configuration files... so say you've set up an app (Xchat for example).. for some custom fonts, etc.. when you reinstall ubuntu, reinstall xchat, then copy xchats configuration file into your new home directory, and xchat will be like it was before you reinstalled ubuntu (not sure that makes sense, but thast the best i can explain it)
[16:05] <WinCamXP> hmm, heres a linux mint 9 cd
[16:05] <dr_willis> D_russ:  those wontbackup what apps you have installed. but you can make a list of what apps you have installed
[16:06] <WinCamXP> uhmmm
[16:06] <WinCamXP> apparently i have two lm9 cds
[16:06] <Petskull> D_russ, but you DON'T want to save your settings!  your settings are the problem!!
[16:06] <D_russ> ohh i see. the setting is what was a PITA. lol
[16:06] <Petskull> (hopefully)
[16:06] <auronandace> WinCamXP: mint isn't supported here
[16:06] <WinCamXP> im just stating that i found that on my shelf
[16:07] <dirty19> WinCamXP: I had that package (ubuntu-desktop) even when I was facing the problem of the blank screen. There might be a package I updated which is causing the conflict? How can I identify?
[16:07] <KM0201> D_russ: yeah, if you're having a big issue... i'd back up the settings for specific programs hat are not related to the problem.. and then just use  acompletely new home
[16:07] <WinCamXP> im going to look for the ubuntu cds
[16:07] <D_russ> Petskull: you have a point. lol
[16:07] <Petskull> heh
[16:07] <james333james> hey anybody can check if my english is correct it need just few seconds please
[16:07] <WinCamXP> dirty19: try downloading the *tabs out*...fglrx driver?
[16:07] <Petskull> james333james, pm me
[16:07] <KM0201> james333james: say what?
[16:08] <auronandace> james333james: looks good so far
[16:08] <melvincv> james333james, It's erfect!
[16:08] <melvincv> james333james, It's perfect!
[16:08] <h00k> james333james: please take it to ##english: /join ##english
[16:08] <james333james>  i already tried on english channel but nodoby was available to help me
[16:08] <D_russ> and to back up setting for specific programs would be example: .thunderbird or .firefox folders?
[16:09] <WinCamXP> then try #finnish
[16:09] <h00k> james333james: this still isn't the appropriate place

[16:09] <james333james> h00k:  you are right but i need just 2 seconds of attention anyway someone is helping me in PVT so i will not bother the channel anymore
[16:09] <KM0201> D_russ: affirmative
[16:09] <h00k> james333james: thanks :)
[16:09] <melvincv> james333james, try a spoken english course, why ask here? :\
[16:09] <KM0201> D_russ: assuming those apps are not related to your problem.
[16:10] <dirty19> hello
[16:10] <WinCamXP> the newest livecd i have for ubuntu is probably 10.10, should i try that anyway?
[16:10] <D_russ> cool. i think a usb install might be my best bet, CD installs seem to be a bit dicey.
[16:11] <WinCamXP> i seriously doubt that thing supports booting from usb
[16:11] <bartj> one of my dev machine (has an external address) and is connected to the router
[16:11] <WinCamXP> this machine right here is sooo much newer than that craptop and even this can't boot from usb
[16:11] <bartj> I think the routing table of the dev machine is messed up
[16:11] <bartj> because, it can't ping the router
[16:11] <D_russ> i have read that HAL causes mouse and KB issues somewhere while googling. and that HAL is not needed. anyone confirm this?
[16:12] <dr_willis> !hal
[16:12] <usr13> bartj: What address does it have?  And what address does the router have?
[16:13] <bartj> router: <IP_ADDRESS> and dev m/c: <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:13] <Petskull> james333james wanted some QC on a note he wrote, not english class
[16:13] <WinCamXP> usually the router is <IP_ADDRESS> from my experience...
[16:13] <Petskull> no biggy
[16:13] <bartj> the dev and the router also have two different external IP addresses
[16:14] <usr13> bartj: Well certainly they do, but are they both in the same subnet?  (Look to see what the netmask is)
[16:14] <WinCamXP> dirty19: have you tried using the fglrx drivers? according to this post from '08, that's what you use for newer ati cards
[16:14] <josePHPagoda> i'm running 10.04 and i'm wanting to set up clamav... the version in the main repo is too old, and the ppa doesn't seem to have a new clamav
[16:14] <D_russ> so where cani find the ubuntu small talk chanell?
[16:15] <theadmin> D_russ: #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:15] <WinCamXP> josePHPagoda: find the website for that program
[16:15] <josePHPagoda> it points me to the ppa
[16:15] <D_russ> thanks theadmin.
[16:15] <WinCamXP> might be like super tux kart, the ubuntu repos dont actually have the newest version
[16:15] <josePHPagoda> which doesn't contain what is needed, I also checked the official ubuntu docs and those don't help
[16:15] <josePHPagoda> yeah... i use getdeb and playdeb for that stuff
[16:18] <josePHPagoda> clamav is supposeadly in the backports, but it seems like the ubuntu team has been a bit slow on keeping it up to date
[16:19] <WinCamXP> what exactly is clamav?
[16:19] <tomodachi> WinCamXP: antivirus for linux
[16:19] <Petskull> an STD
[16:19] <WinCamXP> "av" sounds like "antivirus"
[16:19] <WinCamXP> oh ok
[16:19] <josePHPagoda> it's an antivirus
[16:19] <Petskull> yeah, an antivirus
[16:19] <WinCamXP> does it look for linux viruss or windows viruses?
[16:19] <josePHPagoda> both
[16:19] <Petskull> damnit, you guys ruined it
[16:19] <allballs> usr13: perfect -- thanks a bunch for your insight. my upgrade process is now complete.
[16:19] <compdoc> more of a virus scanner, no?
[16:19] <josePHPagoda> we're using it for windows viruses and such
[16:19] <WinCamXP> running a fileserver?
[16:20] <dirty19> WinCamXP: I'm not sure if I have used those drivers. I'll install them from the AMD site and try. Thanks.
[16:20] <Petskull> alright- ya'll take it easy!
[16:20] <WinCamXP> im not sure if the amd site has linux drivers
[16:20] <WinCamXP> go ahead and check
[16:20]  * WinCamXP will be back momentarily
[16:21] <josePHPagoda> WinCamXP: it's kind of a fileserver
[16:21] <josePHPagoda> more of a webserver though
[16:21] <WinCamXP> i see
[16:21] <josePHPagoda> it's just frustrating, because debian (which is "older) has updated packages :-(
[16:21] <josePHPagoda> ubuntu just seems to be dragging their feet
[16:22] <WinCamXP> i wish there was a username much like this one, except that pertains to linux and doesn't sound retarded like AndroidCamUbuntu
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> josePHPagoda: it uses what is known and tested to be good, packages are updated on merit, not just because a new one is out
[16:22] <josePHPagoda> LinCamUb?
[16:22] <WinCamXP> ew. no.
[16:22] <josePHPagoda> ActionParsnip: the trouble is, the current tested one doesn't update
[16:22] <josePHPagoda> so it has 0 virus definitions
[16:23] <josePHPagoda> it's stable, but won't ever find anything
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> josePHPagoda: if you mean clamav there is a clamav ppa with new defs and engine
[16:23] <WinCamXP> google "clamav ubuntu"
[16:23] <josePHPagoda> the ppa doesn't have the new clamav :-(
[16:23] <josePHPagoda> i've already got it added
[16:23] <josePHPagoda> that's a rename Trololololololo :-P
[16:23] <tensorpudding> it sounds likely that the ubuntu clamav team has gone to lunch
[16:24] <WinCamXP> if i were to put ubuntu server on a pentium 4, how well would a minecraft server run on it? i would assume not very well
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> josePHPagoda: report a bug is all I can recommend, or try a different solution
[16:25] <dan___> hey i have a machine running ubuntu server which freezes if i try to shut it down or reboot it . any suggestions?
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> WinCamXP: I'd ask in a minecraft channel
[16:25] <theadmin> WinCamXP: Indeed it'd run quite badly
[16:25] <dan___> WinCamXP: depends a lot on RAM as well
[16:25] <WinCamXP> it probably has like 1GB
[16:26] <WinCamXP> doesnt really matter, my friend's father is bringing home an actual server machine running OpenSUSE anyway today, I'll SSH into it and use that
[16:26] <josePHPagoda> (i doubt anything will be done, the current version lost support in april of 2010) :-(
[16:26] <dan___> I have run minecraft on an amazon EC2 micro server
[16:26] <dan___> it ran but it was fairly laggy
[16:26] <WinCamXP> whats the specs of that?
[16:27] <josePHPagoda> i guess custom compiling is the only option
[16:27] <Pooky5> guys, i have big problem
[16:27] <dan___> im not sure about the processor but it has 613MB of RAM
[16:27] <WinCamXP> also, about that pentium 4, would a CLASSIC server (MCForge) run acceptably? I mean, all it really does it block updates, player movements, and chat, plus the commands and stuff, not very much else at all
[16:27] <Pooky5> I make mistake and move /usr/bin to ~/Desktop/bin and I cant move it back
[16:28] <Pooky5> if i try any command it says
[16:28] <dan___> what is the clock on the P4?
[16:28] <Pooky5> bash: /usr/bin/python: Directory or File doesn't exists
[16:28] <Duelisti> I'm running Ubuntu 11.04, classic desktop. When for example I'm using firefox and have my mouse pointed at a tab, it brings a "tooltip" with white background without text. I would like to see what it says.
[16:28] <WinCamXP> not sure, probably 1.5GHz
[16:28] <Pooky5> what can i do to fix this?
[16:28] <josePHPagoda> run a ~/Desktop/bin/mv
[16:28] <WinCamXP> Pooky5: reinstall?
[16:28] <josePHPagoda> to try to move it back
[16:29] <josePHPagoda> you need to specify full path to the mv to move it back
[16:29] <Pooky5> josePHPagoda: there is problem there is no mv command
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> Pooky5: sudo update-alternatives --config python
[16:29] <Pooky5> can't use sudo
[16:29] <Pooky5> same error
[16:30] <josePHPagoda> inside of ~/Desktop/bin/
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> Pooky5: what about from root recovery mode?
[16:30] <theadmin> Pooky5: ~/Dekstop/bin/mv ~/Desktop/bin /usr/
[16:30] <josePHPagoda> there is not a mv executable?

[16:31] <theadmin> Pooky5: More like... PATH=$HOME/Desktop/bin sudo mv ~/Desktop/bin /usr/
[16:31] <theadmin> That's better.

[16:33] <dan___> does anyone know why my server might be freezing when it tries to power off?
[16:33] <carpunky> I did it finally, installed ubuntu on a 2nd hard drive
[16:34] <theadmin> Pooky5: My suggestion is to use a livecd to move the stuff back
[16:34] <theadmin> Pooky5: Would be the easiest
[16:35] <Duelisti> I'm running Ubuntu 11.04, classic desktop. When for example I'm using firefox and have my mouse pointed at a tab, it brings a "tooltip" with white background without text. I would like to see what it says.
[16:37] <dan___> Duelisti: are you using google toolbar?
[16:38] <Duelisti> dan___, no
[16:38] <Duelisti> this happens with other applications also
[16:38] <dan___> oh well my googling has failed me =P
[16:38] <dan___> ah its system wide
[16:39] <Wolfsherz> hi, is there a channel for oneiric beta already?
[16:39] <SIFTU> Duelisti: have you tired changing the gtk theme?
[16:39] <theadmin> Wolfsherz: Yes, it's #ubuntu+1
[16:39] <Duelisti> I'll try it
[16:39] <Wolfsherz> theadmin: thank you
[16:39] <theadmin> Wolfsherz: That's the channel for the next Ubuntu version, always, just so you know
[16:40] <Duelisti> yeah, it does work with another theme
[16:40] <Duelisti> Where can I change it
[16:40] <Duelisti> Doesn't work with customize -> colors
[16:41] <JuJuBee> I have a 2GB flash drive that won't mount.  dmesg gives this .. http://pastebin.com/n0pNrycv
[16:41] <nocilis> Duelisti System-Preferences-Appearances?
[16:41] <JuJuBee> I don't see anything wrong...
[16:41] <nocilis> JuJuBee what does fdisk -l show?
[16:42] <theadmin> JuJuBee: "sudo fdisk -l" and "sudo mount /dev/whatever /wherever", please
[16:42] <nocilis> JuJuBee probably have to be run as root
[16:42] <nocilis> JuJuBee what theadmin said
[16:42] <Duelisti> nocilis, like I said, can't change it from there
[16:43] <JuJuBee> theadmin: ok
[16:44] <JuJuBee> theadmin: it seems to have mounted now.  I was using kde and the most recent device notifier to mount it when it failed...
[16:45] <theadmin> JuJuBee: Ah, okay, well KDE + Ubuntu often equals "ARGH"
[16:45] <theadmin> JuJuBee: And I have no idea why
[16:45] <JuJuBee> so now it is mounted as root, I cannot copy anything to it...
[16:46] <BlessJah> how can i convert multimple html files into mht file?
[16:46] <Max229> Does Ubuntu have anything in their software repository that allows me to view several news stories at once? I'd prefer not to have to open like 8 tabs.  Get it all in one place...
[16:46] <theadmin> JuJuBee: Mount options, geez... sudo mount -o uid=$(id -u your_username) /dev/blah /wherever
[16:47] <nocilis> Max229 why not just use a RSS reader?
[16:47] <BlessJah> [6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~/2
[16:47] <Max229> Probably going to regret asking this, but how do I do that?
[16:48] <hikenboot> hello i have installed cacti and nagios on a ubuntu (Latest) server cacti webpage doesnt come up but nagios does. On top of this my httpd.conf is empty how is nagios working without it and what do i have to do to get cacti working?
[16:48] <nocilis> Max229 I use google reader (google.com/reader), very simple, just add the url of each website and it will collect all the articles

[16:48] <Wolfsherz> can someone tell me how to create a customized starter in oneiric? i wish to start "gnome-terminal" with --geometry=90x25 always.

[16:51] <esteeven> Hello. I am trying to boot 11.04 from CD but my video is "garbled" - lots of multi-coloured lines. The card is a ATI Technologies Inc RV710 [Radeon HD 4350]. I hear the "desktop ready" sound but there's nothing I can do. I can't even open another VT
[16:51] <vn> hi, is I want to mount cifs shares, do I really need to install the package smbfs?  I'm trying to add a cifs share in fstab with the credentials option
[16:52] <theadmin> vn: Yeah, you'd need smbfs here
[16:52] <BlessJah> nn52: but you've checked
[16:52] <BlessJah> nn52: you were courious
[16:52] <osse> I allowed others to see my desktop via Remote Desktop Preferences. When I use Remote Desktop Viewer and try to connect to 'localhost' I get "connection closed". Why?
[16:52] <osse> I thought it should work
[16:53] <nn52> hm w8
[16:53] <SIFTU> osse: you are using a vnc viewer?
[16:53] <vn> connectiong to vnc on localhost = infinite loop
[16:53] <osse> SIFTU, I think so! I use the program called Remote Desktop Viewer
[16:56] <osse> SIFTU, it's called Vinagre
[16:56] <osse> The default one
[16:57] <SIFTU> osse: you can see if you machine is listening for vnc by firing up a command line and typing "netstat -an|grep 590"
[16:58] <osse> SIFTU, there was only three lines of the type 'unix    3   [ ]    STREAM    CONNECTED .....'
[16:59] <SIFTU> osse: any of them say "LISTENING"
[16:59] <osse> No
[17:00] <osse> Maybe the VNC protocol doesn't like looping like this
[17:00] <SIFTU> osse: no the server isnt started
[17:01] <surround> hello everyone
[17:01] <CharlieSu> Are there instructions for putting the UBUNTU install CD onto a SD card anywhere?  I'd be doing it from an OSX laptop.  I need the SD card to be bootable so that i can install everything on another computer
[17:01] <rypervenche> CharlieSu: Use unetbootin to do it.
[17:03] <CharlieSu> rypervenche: thanks i'll check it out
[17:03] <surround> How to show screenshots yo u
[17:03] <surround> to community
[17:03] <usr13> !paste | surround
[17:04] <rypervenche> surround: PrintScreen button to take the screenshot, then use www.imagebin.org or imgur.com
[17:04] <julius__> hi
[17:04] <surround> Thanks to all
[17:04] <Maarten> CharlieSu: I would use a USB stick instead of a SD card, many machines can't boot from SD cards, but can from USB.
[17:05] <julius__> on a default ubuntu 11.04 installation with no further mail setup, where do the user mails land?
[17:05] <nocilis> CharlieSu the exception would be to use a usb sd card reader
[17:05] <dan___> hey my server crashes when it tries to shutdown. please could someone help? here is the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/695739/
[17:05] <nocilis> CharlieSu although I'm not sure how that would work out
[17:05] <CharlieSu> ok i'll check out
[17:05] <Kingsy> hi guys.. just booted my ubuntu pc up this morning and it has no title bars on any of its windows.. what the hell happened??
[17:05] <usr13> julius__: Depends on where they're sent.  mail
[17:06] <julius__> usr13, ah just found mails in /var/mail/username
[17:06] <julius__> i was looking for cron output
[17:06] <dean> Hi all I am currently dual booting windows xp and ubuntu 10.04 is there a way of deleting the xp partition and reclaiming the space for Ubuntu easily?
[17:06] <theadmin> Kingsy: Broken window manager
[17:06] <ggg3> hi guys. anyone know what apt-get package will have shell text utilities like 'flds'
[17:06] <m0ers> what can i do if I'm being harassed by government agencies?
[17:07] <dan___> dean: format it as ext4?
[17:07] <theadmin> Kingsy: If you can get to a terminal, try the following command: "metacity --replace &disown"
[17:07] <usr13> julius__: Just type  mail   at the cli
[17:07] <Kingsy> theadmin: what would you suggest? I literally havent changed anything.. strange that it would just Break
[17:07] <usr13> and read your mail.
[17:07] <julius__> usr13, its not installed by default
[17:07] <dean> dan___, My xp parition or Ubuntu?
[17:07] <usr13> o
[17:07] <Kingsy> theadmin: that worked...
[17:07] <Kingsy> hmm what did that do? and what was the problem?
[17:07] <theadmin> Kingsy: Great. That launched the Gnome's standard window manager, Metacity.
[17:07] <dan___> dean: the XP partition. I dont think that will merge them though
[17:07] <theadmin> Kingsy: The problem was no window manager running
[17:08] <theadmin> Kingsy: You might have configured your system to use Compiz and removed it
[17:08] <surround> see this one  http://imagebin.org/173734      & this one   http://imagebin.org/173736
[17:08] <Kingsy> theadmin: so am I going to have to do this every time I boot?
[17:08] <surround> tell me which one is true
[17:08] <dan___> dean: looks like you could do it with Gparted but I have no experience in using it
[17:08] <surround> These screenshots are from same computer within one or two seconds
[17:09] <dean> dan___, What I am looking to do is wipe the xp partition and reclaim the hd space without having to reinstall completely. I can use gparted but I don't know whether doing that will mess up grub because I installed xp then Ubuntu alongside
[17:09] <julius__> usr13, the one from mailutils showed it...thx
[17:09] <surround> Waiting for description
[17:09] <rhin0> whats the problem where the cursor seems to drift off click points on a dell laptop/touchpad 10.04 ... anyone know?
[17:09] <rhin0> its irritating
[17:09] <surround> I am using only pidgin & mozilla
[17:09] <vn> speaking of compiz, I installed compiz-settings-manager and checked the cube, but I still don't have it, am I missing something?  haven't tried since AiGLX
[17:10] <Kingsy> theadmin: anyways.. thanks
[17:10] <sogeking99> hey guys, im new to linux, i have used windows all my life. i wondering about downloading software. programs are kept on repositories, in this case the software centre right? so how do you get your program on there?
[17:10] <surround> please see following screenshots   http://imagebin.org/173734      & this one   http://imagebin.org/173736
[17:11] <theadmin> sogeking99: Your program?
[17:11] <sogeking99> say for example i made my own graphics editors, how would i make it available of the software centre
[17:11] <dean> sogeking99, It installs it when you click on install
[17:11] <surround> tell me which one is true
[17:11] <tomodachi> sogeking99: sogeking99 well you have to be an "program developer" and get your program acceppted into the main package manager.
[17:11] <rhin0> I think it has to be approved by a committee somewhere sogeking99
[17:11] <theadmin> sogeking99: Oh, you need to contact the Ubuntu MOTU, or put it on Launchpad.
[17:11] <dan___> dean: i think if you formatted the XP partition then GRUB would survive but i am not certain. another solution i can think of is to copy the ubuntu install to another drive then format the drive you are using then copy it back but that may be impractical
[17:11] <tomodachi> sogeking99: you can have your own repository thoug. And link to it. so ppl can ad it, and download programs from it.
[17:11] <J11> I see in a log that gltext invoked oom-killer, any idea how to trace why that happened?
[17:11] <dean> dan___, Ok thanks man this will be drawn out lol
[17:12] <surround> Looking for help?
[17:12] <surround> :)
[17:12] <m0ers> hi surround , can i pm you?
[17:12] <surround> yes
[17:13] <sogeking99> oh right. because i've not seen programs that come with installers yet. only things on the repositories through sudo apt-get install GIMP for example, or source which your meant to compile
[17:13] <dan___> dean: this might help but i dont know how advanced you are or your understanding of filesystems http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions
[17:14] <jimisrvrox2> hey guys just a quick question. when I do du -sh I get a total dir size of 6.8GB but when I do properties in nautilus I get a dir size of 7.3GB why is it not matching up?
[17:14] <dean> dan___, Thats a bit advanced for me lol
[17:14] <dan___> hey my server crashes when it tries to shutdown. please could someone help? here is the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/695739/
[17:14] <P3P0> hola a todos
[17:14] <zarus> Heya. I was wondering, is there an app that can periodically remind me to do things? Like to drink water every 30-45 minutes?
[17:14] <martian> I have a remote server that I think may be stuck on the "could not mount blahblah press S to skip" step of the boot process. Is there any possible way to remotely tell it to skip? sshd is not up yet, so.. anything?
[17:15] <dan___> zarus: you could probably write something in bash to tell you to do it fairly easily
[17:15] <theadmin> zarus: while true ; do sleep 45m ; xmessage "DRINK WATER!!!!" ; done
[17:15] <zarus> Hmmmm
[17:15] <zarus> Okay
[17:16] <P3P0> hello
[17:16] <dean> Perhaps if I used gparted wiped my xp partition and then used grub update in terminal that will work?
[17:16] <martian> zarus: apt-cache search reminder

[17:18] <dean> Does bad sectors mean my hard drive is damaged?
[17:19] <sogeking99> are there good books for a complete linux beginner who has used windows all his life?
[17:19] <rhin0> maybe
[17:19] <rhin0> dean: probably
[17:19] <J11> is it possible that gltext has a memory leak?
[17:19] <rhin0> it logs bad sectors to go around them -- still means your hard-drive is useable sogeking99
[17:20] <dean> It is an old laptop so hardly surprising rhin0
[17:20] <rhin0> dean: just keep an eye on the amount of disk space available ... bad sectors will be a small area of the disk
[17:20] <edinny> What is the name of the print tool in jaunty?  I need to run it remotely in X
[17:20] <h00k> !manual | sogeking99 this may help
[17:21] <dean> rhin0, Ok thanks
[17:21] <dan___> hey my server crashes when it tries to shutdown. please could someone help? here is the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/695739/
[17:21] <sogeking99> thanks
[17:21] <rhin0> dean: I ran a large hard drive 500gb on 11.04 ... 10.04 no problems I think 11.04 is more fastiduous in logging disk faults ... your drive will probably be ok
[17:21] <martian> nn52: I don't know how you did that, but you could try simply recreating your user account. Create a new one by doing "sudo adduser tempadmin" then do "sudo usermon -aG tempadmin admin" then log in as that user, delete your old user account using "sudo deluser yourusername" then do the same thing as before but with your old user name
[17:22] <rhin0> some people are pessimistic about this issue dean
[17:22] <dean> rhin0, Ok thanks. Do you know much about gparted at all?
[17:22] <ChrisGagnon> IamTrying: your bios might be set to boot from uefi , if you can set it to use legacy mode it might fix your problem.
[17:22] <rhin0> I mean - dean - 11.04 was showing mucho errors when it was just being fastiduous in logging them
[17:22] <rhin0> I know it's powerful
[17:22] <rhin0> I only use it for blanking usb keys
[17:23] <dean> rhin0, I am trying to delete my xp partition and reclaim the partition
[17:23] <ChrisGagnon> IamTrying: a lot of systems won't install 64 bit ubuntu when with the default bios settings, but 32bit ubuntu won't have that problem.
[17:23] <rhin0> never done it -- ask someone else or google it someone will have done it ... good on you for getting rid of XP

[18:24] <MonkeyDust> what*
[18:24] <larno_> and without them (nouveau) I have compiz working but the performance is quite bad
[18:25] <yaerba> Islam: look at /boot/grub/grub.cfg and see if the block "menuentry 'Ubuntu, with linux $most_recent_kernel-generic" points to linux and initrd files that actually exist on disk.

[18:25] <lol> it said

[18:25] <lol> btw

[18:26] <Islam> ok I'll check it now
[18:26] <MonkeyDust> lol: if dpkg was interrupted, reboot in recovery mode and repair
[18:26] <yaerba> Islam: If grub.cfg doesn't point to an existing kernel and initrd, edit the file so it does.
[18:26] <larno_> sorry guys
[18:27] <larno_> is anyone else having issues with hybrid intel/nvidia on beta 2?
[18:27] <Islam> -bash: /boot/grub/grub.cfg: Permission denied
[18:27] <yaerba> Islam: Once you get Ubuntu to boot, make the changes to /etc/default/grub and run 'sudo update-grub'.
[18:28] <escott> Dustmite, you can resize manually with gparted in the live cd part of the install disk
[18:28] <larno_> I can't get compiz to work with proprietary nvidia drivers. it always fallback to unity 2d

[18:32] <angel56> mang0: define 'easy'

[18:33] <larno_> seems like I'm out of luck :(
[18:33] <angel56> mang0: probably. You need two files for the server, one for the client
[18:33] <mang0> angel56: I see.
[18:34] <angel56> mang0: I would recommend going to their site and downloading the free ones from the company as opposed to whatever is in the repos
[18:34] <mang0> angel56: Right, and why is that?
[18:34] <lol> MonkeyDust: How exactly do I repair?
[18:35] <angel56> mang0: I installed NX a while back with no headaches, but first wasted a lot of time trying to get 'freenx' working from the repos
[18:35] <ryann> trying to install ubuntu 11.04 x64 server to a proliant machine, and it boots from cd, but once i select to "install ubuntu server" the screen goes blank.  any ideas?
[18:35] <lol> And dpkg being interrupted is the cause for internet connection to fail? i'm directly connected right now.
[18:35] <angel56> mang0: the software from NX is free, but it isn't the open source version...some people have an issue with that
[18:35] <mang0> angel56: I see. Thanks :)

[18:59] <NetworkRenderer> ok
[18:59] <dizzey> bbbeee: screen (then you are in a screen )  start scp and if you ssh connection breaks you log in to the box and resume your screen
[19:00] <dizzey> bbbeee: wich still has it's commands running
[19:00] <adi11> ActionParsnip : i installed from usb pendrive
[19:00] <Fen-> after recent update.. anyone managed to install gnome-shell again ?
[19:00] <Fen-> on 10.11
[19:01] <alexskan> Hi all, is there any app which lets me rip audio from youtube vider? Hopefully getting also the download and edit function for audio stream
[19:01] <pincy> ActionParsnip: thx, hope it works now :)
[19:01] <Pici> Fen-: Do you mean 11.10?
[19:01] <Fen-> yeah i failed
[19:01] <alexskan> s/video/vider
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> Adi11: its an installed OS so the way you did it is irrelevant now. A USB install is the same as a CD install
[19:01] <Pici> Fen-: Then you'll want to ask in their channel: #ubuntu+1
[19:01] <rww> Fen-: #ubuntu+1 for oneiric support, and it's currently not installable because it's waiting on dependencies.
[19:01] <Fen-> Grr lame
[19:02] <Fen-> why the hell did they had to make more updates
[19:02] <Fen-> and then remove gnome3 so they can readd it
[19:02] <nn52> okay , new problem ,anyone using xchat???
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> Fen: its prerelease, what did you expect..
[19:02] <adi11> ActionParsnip :  http://paste.ubuntu.com/695789/      this is my grub entry. where exactly should i put "nouveau.blacklist=1" ?
[19:03] <rypervenche> I love how people come in here and get pissed that a Beta isn't working.
[19:03] <urlin2u> adi11, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
[19:03] <rww> Fen-: no idea, ask #ubuntu+1 :P
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> adi11: in the quotes with quiet splash. Then run: sudo update-grub
[19:04] <adi11> urlin2u :  get rid of  quiet splash ?
[19:04] <Fender> how do I know if my graphic card support 3d effects and things like that?
[19:04] <adi11> ahh ok. thanks
[19:04] <urlin2u> adi11, only if you want a text boot
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> adi11: by you enquiring like this, I'm guessing you didn't add the nomodeset option.
[19:05] <soreau> Fender: What is the output of lspci|grep VGA ?
[19:05] <Tophan> hi
[19:06] <adi11> ActionParsnip : i did but i didnt have any luck. with nvidia proprietary driver still no luck
[19:06] <Fender> soreau: the output of what? :S
[19:06] <soreau> Fender: lspci|grep VGA
[19:06] <pdkl> is there a good guide to customize ubuntu 11.10 , aka especially the thems
[19:06] <Tophan> pdkl: #ubuntu+1
[19:06] <soreau> Fender: Its a command you run in your terminal. It should output information about your video card, typically one line

[19:07] <larno_> !help | why do I get the No such device on modprobe nvidia when my laptop has the geforce GT54M card?
[19:07] <soreau> Fender: That is a fairly decent card and should be able to do most 3D with the default drivers that are already installed
[19:07] <Tophan> whats the best way to make Ubuntu run this at boot? :
[19:07] <Tophan> # echo level 7 | sudo tee /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> adi11: you can set it in root recovery mode or simply hold shift at boot and press e to edit the kernel options for this boot only
[19:08] <larno_> !help | why do I get the No such device on modprobe nvidia when my laptop has the geforce GT54M card?
[19:08] <soreau> Tophan: put it in /etc/rc.local
[19:08] <64MAAB2N8> When I looked into /usr/bin/ there is a file there entitled "[". Should there be a file called /usr/bin/[  ?
[19:08] <Tophan> soreau: thanks
[19:08] <soreau> Tophan: Note you can remove the sudo from the command
[19:08] <Tophan> soreau: ok
[19:09] <Guest17434> boa tarde
[19:09] <Fender> soreau: I can't seem to enable any nicer effects at all.. I can't enable compositing (whatever that means). But I have to enable it in order to use gnome do
[19:09] <auronandace> larno_: don't prefix help with !, it is parsed as a command to the bot
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> Tophan: add it in /etc/rc.local   above exit 0. No need for sudo
[19:09] <64MAAB2N8> Does anyone else have a file called [ in \usr\bin?
[19:09] <soreau> Fender: What is the output of glxinfo|grep renderer? (after installing mesa-utils package)
[19:10] <llutz> hagus: sure
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> larno_: try:  sudo nvidia-xco

[19:12] <ryann> does anyone know if "ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64.iso" offers a "live cd" boot option??
[19:12] <larno_> ActionParsnip: should I ignore that?
[19:12] <soreau> Fender: Looks good. Now what is telling you that you cannot enable compositing, or how are you trying to enable it?

[19:13] <ryann> thanks guntbert.  hoping the x64 desktop does then :)
[19:13] <Arthur> is there a way to install a .bat file on Xubuntu? Wine won't let me install setup.bat :/
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Ryann: it won't give live cd
[19:13] <Fender> soreau: I've done some googleing, and tried some commands I found on different forums, but nothing have helped. So I thought it couldn't be done
[19:14] <guntbert> ryann: yes, the desktop versions do
[19:14] <soreau> Fender: Sure it can. Pastebin the output of compiz --replace from your terminal to pastebin.com
[19:14] <hagus> Thanks for reassuring me that it is harmless, llutz and ActionParsnip :)
[19:14] <llutz> hagus: what is is for: http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/commands/classictest
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> Arthur: i'd read the file, see what it does.
[19:15] <dr`venom_> I have an XPS17 laptop and I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 beta2. Unfortunately, I am unable to change the display brightness. I've tried changing the brightness with my computer's short keys (Fn + F4) and via the the screen settings without any success. Can someone please help me fix this issue?
[19:15] <Arthur> ActionParsnip: it displays some texts like del data.uha > nul and some more dels and startw wunpack.exe and some echos at the end >.< I have n o idea of what should I do
[19:15] <Guest1234> hello all. How do i restart xorg on ubuntu 11.04/11.10?
[19:15] <Fender> soreau: I don't have compiz installed.. Last time I tried to install it the computer died.. I haven't dared to try since.
[19:15] <Guest1234> there is no gdm and
[19:16] <soreau> Fender: Well you certainly wont be able to use compiz without having it installed
[19:16] <nat_> boa tarde
[19:16] <hagus> Wow - not only is it OK - it seems to be pretty much essential!
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> Guest1234: are you using oneiric?
[19:16] <mosdef100200> Hi there im trying to install a package and all i keep getting is Unable to locate package when trying apt-get install?
[19:16] <Guest1234> ActionParsnip: yea
[19:16] <mosdef100200> would anyone know a solution?
[19:16]  * hagus breathes more easily again
[19:16] <llutz> hagus: it's just a strange "filename"
[19:16] <hagus> Never come across anything like it before :)
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> !11.10 | guest1234
[19:17] <Guest1234> ActionParsnip: yea. i know. But no one in there knew. I had this same issue with 11.04
[19:17] <Fender> soreau: do you think my computer can handle it? from what you've seen about my graphic card? I might have installed it wrong when I was new to ubuntu
[19:17] <Guest1234> so lets pretend im still on 11.04
[19:17] <genii-around> mosdef100200: does apt-cache policy <packagename> show that it's available in some repository you have in your sources.list ?
[19:17] <rymannphilippe> hello to anybody
[19:17] <soreau> Fender: Yes, it can handle compiz
[19:17] <Arthur> How can I install setup.bat on Linux? When I try to open it it displays few lines :(
[19:17] <rymannphilippe> this is my first time on an irc channel
[19:18] <Fender> soreau: okay. Brb
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> Guest1234: you are using oneiric now so you are supported in #ubuntu+1 til release day
[19:18] <soreau> hi rymannphilippe
[19:18] <angel56> Arthur: a .bat file is for windows, you might be able to run it under wine, but no guarantees
[19:18] <m0ers> has anyone tried pgp with evolution email client?
[19:18] <rymannphilippe> can someone help my with JOLICLOUD and FLASH?
[19:18] <urlin2u> rymannphilippe, you have a support question?
[19:18] <rymannphilippe> yes
[19:18] <m0ers> rymannphilippe: which pgp utilies have you used?
[19:18] <Guest1234> ActionParsnip: oh wait. crap. i just realized...im actually on 11.04
[19:18] <Guest1234> lol
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> rymannphilippe: jolicloud isn't supported here
[19:19] <mosdef100200> genni-around: Hi thanks could you remind me how i find that out again i cant remember
[19:19] <Guest1234> since I HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON 11.04
[19:19] <ikonia> rymannphilippe: sorry, we don't support jolicloud here
[19:19] <rymannphilippe> ok sorry
[19:19] <rymannphilippe> is there some better room for that?
[19:19] <hagus> I installed netbeans 7.x, having already had 6.9.  I have removed 6.9 but netbeans 7 is still there and working. Where does it live?
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> Guest1234: same still applys
[19:19] <hagus> I wanted to remove netbeans 7
[19:20] <Arthur> Thank you angel56, it was always being executed with a linux program by default, now I've set Wine and it's working :D
[19:20] <genii-around> mosdef100200: In the Software Center is where you can tell the system what repositories to use.
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> rymannphilippe: #jolicloud possibly
[19:20] <urlin2u> rymannphilippe, not any channel I can see try the FF addon flash aid.
[19:20] <soreau> ActionParsnip: probably not..
[19:21] <rymannphilippe> thanks urlin2u
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> soreau: sometimes they state the server and channel of the support in the motd :-)
[19:21] <mosdef100200> genni-around: nope
[19:21] <rymannphilippe> whats ff addon flash?
[19:21] <mosdef100200> genii-around:nope
[19:22] <larno> ActionParsnip: nothing, no screens found
[19:22] <soreau> ActionParsnip: yea I guess it does have a proper topic set..
[19:22] <genii-around> !repos | mosdef100200
[19:22] <urlin2u> rymannphilippe, the flash aid addon in Ubuntu and some others downloads the flash, from adobe you can go straight to adobe as well
[19:22] <mosdef100200> cheers
[19:23] <rymannphilippe> oki doki
[19:23] <mosdef100200> im trying to install xen
[19:23] <mosdef100200> is it hard?
[19:23] <ikonia> mosdef100200: yes
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> !xen
[19:23] <hacker_anonimo> hello
[19:23] <hacker_anonimo> how all are you?
[19:23] <ikonia> mosdef100200: it's a complex technology unless you understand it and have the needed hardware
[19:23] <mosdef100200> oh
[19:23] <Fender> soreau: oh, btw.. Does it matter that I have a netbook (samsung cn10) with ubuntu 10.04 netbook edition?
[19:23] <hacker_anonimo> d
[19:23] <mosdef100200> ok
[19:24] <mosdef100200> think ill give up then
[19:24] <mosdef100200> cheers anyhow!
[19:24] <soreau> Fender: Not particularly though newer versions of ubuntu have newer drivers, naturally
[19:24] <soreau> Fender: Still should work
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> mosdef100200: could be a project to learn something new :-)
[19:25] <mosdef100200> oh got so many projects on the go
[19:25] <mosdef100200> xen would be way down the line lol
[19:25] <vacho> I need some expert help. I want to compress an entire directory and all it's subfolders and hidden files and keep their permissions.. and then move this compressed file to another server and uncompress it keeping the permissions but not the owner... does this make sense?
[19:26] <DesertFoxNight> What's the command to run a PHP file on the background?
[19:26] <dr`venom_> I can't adjust screen brightness, can someone help me fix the issue?
[19:26] <soreau> vacho: Sure, just tar it up
[19:26] <soreau> ! tar | vacho
[19:27] <vacho> soreau, I am having problems with exacly what parameters to use to keep it all perfect.. right permissions etc..
[19:27] <soreau> vacho: I believe tar should automatically preserve everything in tact by default..
[19:28] <vacho> soreau, so when I unzip it in a user folder on the other server, who will be the file owner?
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> dr`venom_: what make and model system?
[19:28] <soreau> vacho: See --no-same-owner in tar --help
[19:29] <dr`venom_> dell xps17 L702x
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> vacho: i believe you can set the perms to be preserved with extract options
[19:29] <soreau> vacho: See the example commands at the top (of tar --help)
[19:30] <erikandre> A Intel pentium 4 with 2.8Ghz With latest ubuntu doesnt feel to much of smooth view. The computer has 4GB of ram.
[19:30] <m0ers> how to find the list of all channels?
[19:30] <m0ers> !help
[19:30] <erikandre> I try to figure out where the problem is. Cause it feels like a 386sx 33mhz
[19:30] <soreau> erikandre: What version of ubuntu?
[19:30] <larno> ActionParsnip: should I try to install newest nvidia driver?
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> dr`venom_: websearc:  laptop Linux   there may be a guide for your model. Also check for bugs for the system too
[19:30] <erikandre> soreau: 11.04
[19:30] <urlin2u> m0ers, in xchat it is a right clickserver
[19:31] <urlin2u> list of channels*
[19:31] <erikandre> with ATI Technologies Inc RV730 Pro AGP [Radeon HD 4600 Series]
[19:31] <soreau> erikandre: Are you using unity? Have you checked to see if any process is using too many resources? (using top in terminal)
[19:31] <vacho> ok
 ok, I'll give that a try.
[19:31] <SIFTU> dr`venom_: you want the dell_wmi kernel module loaded
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> larno: all i can suggest is tweak xorg.conf   you may also want to read:   less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[19:31] <erikandre> Trying to figure out where to check if i am running unity or not.
[19:31] <erikandre> Iǜe checked and not running unity.
[19:32] <soreau> erikandre: ps ax|grep unity|grep -v grep
[19:32] <erikandre> Cause then there would be a fanzy start menu
[19:32] <soreau> erikandre: ps ax|grep compiz|grep -v grep
[19:32] <erikandre> gompiz is running top tells me
[19:32] <llutz> pgrep compiz
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> erikandre: ps -ef | grep unity | grep -v grep
 I'm quite new to linux... Do I get dell_wmi from the software center?
[19:32] <Os-Mahiaoui> hi
[19:32] <llutz> pgrep unity :)
[19:32] <larno> ActionParsnip: but xorg.cong has nothing to do with it. it clearly says No screens found. the same thing happens when I try to manually load the nvidia driver
[19:33] <Os-Mahiaoui> im Ubuntu Linux user
[19:33] <soreau> llutz: shhh ;)
[19:33] <larno> ActionParsnip: it doesn't recognize my card
[19:33] <SIFTU> dr`venom_: it should come with the kernel.. what version of ubuntu are you running
[19:33] <dr`venom_> 11.10 beta2
[19:33] <Os-Mahiaoui> and i need help about my network card
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> larno: the xorg.conf defines the display and the screens so has everything to do with it
[19:33] <erikandre> soreau: 1568 ?        Ss     0:00 /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/compiz-decorator 7610 ?        Sl     0:09 /usr/bin/compiz
[19:34] <larno> ActionParsnip: it is already defined to load the nvidia driver
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> !11.10| dr`venom_
[19:34] <soreau> erikandre: Does it make a difference if you try metacity instead? (by running metacity --replace from Alt+F2 run dialog. Switch back to compiz with compiz --replace)
[19:34] <MTPrower> Can somebody tell me how to install an icon set to Kubuntu? I'm brand new to Linux. I already downloaded the icon set I think I want, but I would rather use an automated downloader/installer
[19:34] <larno> ActionParsnip: but it says no screens found which means that my device is not recognized as nvidia card
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> larno: then its not quite right or it would work, hence me saying to tweak it
[19:35] <larno> ActionParsnip: you can't tweak the xorg.conf to recognize something if the driver doesn't support it
[19:35] <soreau> larno: What does lspci|grep VGA say?
[19:35] <erikandre> soreau: A new feeling ;) <3
[19:35] <larno> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GF106 [GeForce GT 555M] (rev a1)
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> larno: if there isn't the settings the driver needs to run then it won't load and therefore, no screens
[19:36] <dr`venom_> ok I'll go to that channel thanks
[19:36] <SIFTU> larno: you are running optimus
[19:36] <erikandre> soreau: How to set to metacity default?
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> larno: oh jeez is it one of those dual gpu monstrosities?
[19:36] <SIFTU> larno: do not install the nvidia module
[19:36] <soreau> erikandre: It could be a compiz plugin using too many resources or that your graphics driver is less than perfect.. which graphics driver are you using? (preferably you want to be using the default radeon, not the installable proprietary driver)
[19:36] <larno> SIFTU: I've said in the beginning that it's laptop with hybrid graphics
[19:37] <vacho> how do I check the filesize of a directory and all it's sub directories???
[19:37] <erikandre> soreau: using the priprop from ati
[19:37] <SIFTU> larno: ok i didnt see that.. the nvidia drivers for linux do not support it
[19:37] <larno> I don't need the GPU switching, I just want the nvidia card to work
[19:37] <soreau> erikandre: You should remove it and use the radeon driver instead
[19:37] <MTPrower> Can someone tell me where I can change my icon set in Kubuntu? I'm new to Linux.
[19:37] <erikandre> Okey. So how to i get back to gompiz default?
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> Larno: ive never seen a success story with that. All i know is its a pain and that bumblebee is a project to make it work.
[19:38] <SIFTU> larno: yeah bumblebee is the attempt to make it work
[19:38] <larno> SIFTU: I know and I don't want to use baumblee or anything similar
[19:38] <SIFTU> larno: then if you dont have a option in the bios, too bad
[19:38] <soreau> larno: Ok so you have hybrid graphics. Look in your bios to see if you can disable the intel card
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> MTPrower: system settings and search for icon, it will show you what to click
[19:38] <larno> ActionParsnip, SIFTU: so the only way to activate nvidia is via bumblebee or the other iron something?
[19:38] <SIFTU> larno: what laptop?
[19:38] <MTPrower> ActionParsnip: where is "system settings"?
[19:38] <larno> I can't disable it
[19:38] <larno> it's asus n53sv
[19:38] <MTPrower> ActionParsnip: found it. Sorry
[19:39] <larno> disabling via bios is only possible on lenovo laptops if I'm not mistaking
[19:39] <SIFTU> larno: yes, as most hybrid graphics laptop pipe the nvidia output through thr intel to display.. so quite often you cant disable the intel
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> Larno: i have no idea. I'm avoiding that nonsense like Paris Hilton avoids talent
[19:39] <soreau> larno: scrutinize your bios settings. the option may be hidden in an unlikely name
[19:39] <SIFTU> ActionParsnip: good move.. wish I did
[19:39] <larno> soreau, it's not there trust me ;)
[19:40] <soreau> larno: Then you are screwed ;)
[19:40] <SIFTU> larno: with kernel 3.0 the intel performance is quite good
[19:40] <larno> SIFTU: it's definately better than before but dash still lags and the alt-tab switching is to slow to start up
[19:41] <SIFTU> larno: what kernel are you running?
[19:41] <larno> the default one on beta2
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> Surprised my battery has lasted so long
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> larno: the
[19:41] <larno> SIFTU the default one on beta2
[19:41] <larno> ActionParsnip ??
[19:41] <krishna_> quit
[19:41] <Fen-> can i reinstall ubuntu and save content from /home/ HDD ? :p
[19:41] <Fen-> lol
[19:42] <SIFTU> larno: not sure.. dont run it.. but I have run kernel 3.0 since it came out and have no problems with the intel anymore
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> Then you are supported in #ubuntu+1 not here, larno

[19:56] <MTPrower> Hey guys, I have another newbie question. Where can I install a window manager? I downloaded the Air Oxygen window and I want to install it.
[19:56] <MTPrower> Oh yeah. I use Kubuntu. Sorry.
[19:57] <Logan_> !pm | skeptic__
[19:58] <hje841> hi. does anyone have any experience with Synergy?
[19:58] <sunice> hje841: yes
[19:58] <MTPrower> hje841: the Final Fantasy XIII paradigm role? : D
[19:58] <MTPrower> hje841: ...lol lame pun
[19:58] <hje841> dunno anything about Final Fantasy
[19:59] <MTPrower> hje841: that's too bad ( :
[19:59] <sunice> hje841: Please ask more detailed question so we can try to help
[19:59] <salvo> ciao a tutti
[19:59] <rww> !it
[20:00] <hje841> I'm trying to start synergy from terminal and it starts without any complaint, but I can't move my cursor from one screen to the next
[20:00] <hje841> here's my config file: http://pastebin.com/bSHD3ZHq
[20:01] <MTPrower> ...I'm gonna ask my question again. Dun mind me if this is too soon. Not tryin' to be rude or anything... How do I install a window theme in Kubuntu? I'm using Oxygen but I downloaded a new window theme that I'd rather use.
[20:01] <sunice> hje841: do you get any errors in the terminal?
[20:01] <rubbs> hje841: you have synergy set up on both correct? and one is a server?
[20:01] <hje841> sunice: none what so ever.
[20:01] <project> how can i make exe files for java
[20:01] <project> ???
[20:02] <ikonia> project: that's not how java works, look in ##java for lessons
[20:02] <hje841> rubbs: I start synergys on the server - the one I want to use the keyboard/mouse from. and synergyc from the other
[20:03] <rubbs> hje841: I've got no idea. let me check out my setup quick and compare
[20:03] <project> ikonia:but i can't get into #java
[20:03] <project> ikonia:what should i do?
[20:03] <rusty149> hje841: Try typing the IP address for the Synergy Server instead of the computer name
[20:03] <ikonia> project: it's ##java
[20:03] <ikonia> not #java
[20:04] <Pici> !register | project
[20:04] <hje841> rusty149: tried it. I think I've tried almost any combination of hostname and IP
[20:05] <project> exit
[20:05] <project> quit
[20:05] <guntbert> MTPrower: try #kubuntu
[20:05] <rubbs> hje841: yeah, I can't find anything wrong. I'd try what rusty149 said.
[20:06] <hje841> rubbs: it had no effect.
[20:06] <rubbs> hje841: I got nothing sorry
[20:06] <rusty149> hje841: Try using IP address again but make sure the server starts first.
[20:06] <hje841> rubbs: ok. thanks anyway.
[20:07] <rusty149> hje841: It could just be a network issue are either computer connecting wirelessly
[20:07] <sunice> hje841: are you passing the server ip when you start the client?
[20:07] <sunice> hje841: synergyc IP
[20:08] <hje841> rusty149: both are connected to the same router
[20:08] <hje841> sunice: I am
[20:08] <sunice> hje841: and both are pigable?
[20:08] <sunice>  pingable*
[20:09] <hje841> sunice: yes
[20:10] <hje841> maybe I should try a different port. any ideas?
[20:10] <lukez_> Logan  would you be willing to go to private chat?
[20:10] <Logan_> !pm | lukez_
[20:11] <hje841> what can I use for a portscan?
[20:11] <sunice> hje841: you could test it by "telnet ip 24800"
[20:11] <rusty149> hje841: Have you tried the Synergy gui?
[20:12] <hje841> rusty149: yes. it works fine with Quick Synergy
[20:13] <rhin0> x2x is plainer than synergy if you have problems -- x2x command line v easy to set up ... but it doesn't have cut n paste like synergy
[20:13] <rhin0> with synergy -- on the machine which you are driving (client) be sure to turn the "repeat key when pressed" off option
[20:13] <rhin0> otherwise it will be repeating twice
[20:13] <rhin0> with synergy or x2x
[20:14] <rusty149>  hje841: There is a #synergy irc channel
[20:15] <hje841> rusty149: thanks. I'll try it out
[20:17] <hje841> hmm.. not much talk on #synergy
[20:19] <IamTrying> Any idea why i have this always after boot? e.g: http://i.imgur.com/EDlUU.png

[20:22] <jrib> axel: use touch

[20:23] <axel> jrib: Thanks.
[20:24] <gucko> I ran out of space and I have a big sized folder. I want to put this folder in an archive. Is there a way to put it in an archieve without copying it? cuz i ran out of space :(
[20:25] <gucko> cuz creating a zip file basically means copy most of the space from that folder
[20:26] <watermark> Where's the dislike button?  Dislike the floodbot question thing
[20:28] <quant> hello, after intalling Ubuntu 11.04, I get "autochk not found" when i try to boot into Vista and the machine restarts, any help, please?
[20:29] <urlin2u> quant, I think that is a vista problem, did you install Ubuntu without resizing Vista first?
[20:30] <quant> urlin2u, yes, it happens now after I've reinstalled Ubuntu
[20:30] <oldschool> hi does anyone here know how would i down grade from ubuntu desktop 10.04 to ubuntu desktop 8.4 useing the terminal
[20:30] <quant> urlin2u, I didn't resize anything
[20:30] <quant> oldschool, you can't
[20:30] <urlin2u> quant, you had a unallocated area for Ubuntu?
[20:30] <quant> urlin2u, I had an ext4 partiton
[20:31] <SIFTU> gucko: try "tar cvf - name | gzip > name.tar.gz"
[20:31] <SIFTU> gucko: you will still need space as it does delete the original
[20:31] <urlin2u> quant, so vista choice is going back ti the grub menu?
[20:31] <quant> urlin2u, yes
[20:31] <urlin2u> to*
[20:32] <oldschool> ok thanks quant is there anyway of doing a fresh install of ubuntu desktop useing the terminal
[20:32] <urlin2u> quant, I woluld try a sudo update-grub in ubuntu, if that doesn't work a chkdsk in vista using a recovery or istall to get to the repair console.
[20:32] <urlin2u> dis
[20:33] <urlin2u> disc*
[20:33] <quant> urlin2u, ok, ty
[20:33] <guntbert> !alternate | oldschool
[20:33] <urlin2u> quant, did you remove any vista partitions?
[20:34] <oldschool> quant this is the os of my server i cant use a live cd
[20:34] <quant> urlin2u, no
[20:35] <quant> the funny thing is that the first partion appears as Linux instead of NTFS in fdisk -l (http://paste.ubuntu.com/695829/)
[20:35] <quant> oldschool, you want to install ubuntu from within ubuntu? I don't understand what you're trying to do
[20:35] <urlin2u> quant, cool check that the bootflag is on the right partition for vista with gparted in Ubutu, as well
[20:35] <tsaknorris> i had this problem maybe 1 year ago. i dont anymore remember the solution. USB-hard drive is read only mode!?!?  it was easy maybe i have to just mount it with other filesystem hmm....
[20:36] <quant> urlin2u, I've tried the boot flag on both my windows and ubuntu partition an no difference... where should the boot flag actually be?
[20:36] <rypervenche> tsaknorris: How did you mount the drive?
[20:36] <allowoverride> need a little help, here is the error message when apt-get installing samba...  http://pastebin.com/f1fC3C1b
[20:36] <tsaknorris> rypervenche, automatic, i just plug it in
[20:36] <urlin2u> tsaknorris, you can open nautilus in root gksudo nautlus and change the permission i=on the usb
[20:37] <oldschool> quant am trying to go back to unbuntu desktop 8.4 installing it from the terminal
[20:37] <urlin2u> gksudo nautilus*
[20:37] <jrib> oldschool: ubuntu desktop 8.04 is very old and no longer supported
[20:37] <urlin2u> quant, without seeing the boot script I don't kmow not on ubuntu that is for sure.
[20:38] <zykotick9> oldschool, why do you want to go back to 8.04?
[20:38] <oldschool> jrid i know but i need to install it on to my server
[20:38] <quant> any idea why is my windows partition showing as linux in fdisk -l?
[20:38] <jrib> oldschool: why?  Use a supported release.
[20:38] <urlin2u> quant, http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[20:38] <tsaknorris> urlin2u,  this happened to my friends APPLE :P and now im at home but i was just thinkin because i had same kind of issue. i think it will work if you do mount -t vfat /dev/foo /Volume/bar
[20:39] <tsaknorris> funny was that when i did ls -al i got r,w and x permissions
[20:39] <oldschool> jrid its the only one that run well on my old server
[20:39] <urlin2u> quant, did you over write it?
[20:39] <quant> urlin2u, no
[20:39] <quant> urlin2u, just installed ubuntu instead of debian
[20:40] <oldschool> is there a way to do it useing the terminal
[20:40] <urlin2u> quant, sonds like you did, t wont boot and fdisk -l shows it as linux
[20:40] <quant> urlin2u, it mounts perfectly fine in ubuntu and works fine... as ntfs
[20:40] <quant> urlin2u, I can access all the files
[20:40] <urlin2u> quant, run the bootscript and pastebin the RSULTS.txt
[20:41] <scales11> Hello all, I am pulling my hair out trying to get my ubuntu 10.10 server to connect to a ms sql database with FreeTDS driver.  Does anyone by chance have and experience with this?
[20:41] <quant> urlin2u, ok, a sec, trying something...
[20:42] <tensorpudding> scales11: might be worth taking to any freetds forums that exist

[20:43] <vbajpai> I am running a ubuntu VM as a development env. which is quite old (hardy heron). I just installed hg; but it's at v0.8.5. What would be the way to get recent debs for this version of ubuntu?
[20:44] <vbajpai> \
[20:44] <scales11> tensorpudding: i am looking through the ubuntu ones now, i cannot get tsql -S server.domain.com -U username to work, i keep getting "Msg 20009,...unable to connect: Adaptive server is unavailable or does not exist"
[20:44] <zykotick9> allowoverride, it looks like you "trunc'd" off the actual error messages
[20:45] <allowoverride> oh
[20:45] <allowoverride> lemme check
[20:46] <allowoverride> ok, http://pastebin.com/Z8yWsSPf updated full message
[20:46] <allowoverride> sorry
[20:46] <zykotick9> allowoverride, can you currently run "sudo apt-get -f install" successfully?
[20:46] <allowoverride> no, not -f
[20:46] <allowoverride> just apt-get install
[20:46] <allowoverride> shall i retry with -f ?
[20:46] <allowoverride> same result...
[20:47] <zykotick9> allowoverride, The error output suggests you try "sudo cp /usr/share/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf" then "sudo dpkg --configure -a".  Have you?
[20:47] <allowoverride> nope
[20:47] <allowoverride> ill try
[20:47] <allowoverride> brb
[20:48] <zykotick9> allowoverride, -f is for fix, "sudo apt-get -f install" is a general/non-specific attempt to fix broken installations
[20:48] <allowoverride> k
[20:49] <lukez_> !pm Logan
[20:50] <allowoverride> zykotick9: okie, that worked, no -f, installed, it was smb.conf missing from /etc/samba, interesting. thanks
[20:50] <zykotick9> !pm > lukez you need to use a | or > to send bot messages
[20:50] <aj00200> What do I need to do to allow me to run wireshark from a non-root account?
[20:50] <petester> hey, can anybody reccomend a terminal based web browser?
[20:50] <allowoverride> i would think it would insert that conf, apparently not
[20:50] <aj00200> petester: lynx or links2
[20:50] <petester> cool thanks aj00200
[20:50] <allowoverride> whats the quick way after installing of course, to get EFS running on ubuntu server? cmds thanks!
[20:51] <htlm> Hi yall
[20:51] <coilbucker> I've somehow ruined my ubuntu installation. How do I reinstall it without deleting vista?
[20:52] <aj00200> coilbucker: you will probably need to use the advanced install mode to overwrite your ubuntu partition
[20:52] <zykotick9> coilbucker, how did you install ubuntu?  Did you using Wubi (the install, inside windows) or a physical dual-boot with separate partitions?
[20:52] <KM0201> coilbucker: thats correct, (what aj00200 said)
[20:52]  * KM0201 always forgets bout wubi-voodoo
[20:53] <coilbucker> By advanced install mode, do you mean the text based one?
[20:53] <aj00200> coilbucker: no, there is a gui but you will need to identify the hard drive partition
[20:53] <htlm> coilbucker how did you install it?
[20:53] <reachingperfecti> hey all , only when query can i expect to see gnome 3 on ubuntu 11.10
[20:54] <tsaknorris> urlin2u, other option is ofcourse that MAC:s kernel doesnt even support -t vfat filesystem :D well next time ;)
[20:54] <coilbucker> Oh, I made a dual boot.
[20:54] <KM0201> reachingperfecti: probably november
[20:54] <nac-godfather> anyone know how I can copy over large files (5GB+) to my external hd without running into the error, file too large, etc.
[20:54] <zykotick9> nac-godfather, don't use fat as the file system
[20:54] <adminzbigniew> The question is Ubuntu or Windows 7 ?
[20:55] <KM0201> adminzbigniew: i guess that depends on what you need to do... for me, it's a no brainer.(not necessarily ubuntu, but Linux)
  i think 11.10 is on unity again
[20:55] <KM0201> reachingperfecti: it will have a working gnome 3 in the repos however
[20:56] <htlm>  adminzbigmore for what purpose?
[20:57] <adminzbigniew> New question Ubuntu or Kubuntu ?
[20:58] <guntbert> adminzbigniew: in any case the questions are not on topic for a support channel
[20:59] <hypertyper> is there a way I can navigate nautilus back / forward with my mouse button? I know I can change the keyboard shortcuts but not to the mouse buttons... (ubuntu 10.10)
[21:01] <htlm>  coilbucker  then get    ubcd  which saved my butt and a few hundreds dollars  it as a few hundred apps for , testing, probing , and fixing till your little hearts content .... Well get it and then go to live mode and delete it, that simple...
[21:02] <David__> Hi all, wonder if anyone knows about a problem getting to [eu-west-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com], I'm getting apt-get timeouts from an ubuntu server in the EU when it tries to access that server.

[21:03] <IUC> hi jerome

[21:05] <VampsDaBeast> hey guys, is it possible to run Gnome without Compiz?
[21:06] <vbajpai> I am running hardy heron, I want to install the latest python and mercurial versions. What is the best way to do it?
[21:06] <edinny> Cant print to my Lexmark T630 from 11.04 on my 64 big machine.  Worked fine with my last version.  Set it to print via an older machine, but a pain nevertheless
[21:07] <trism> VampsDaBeast: select the (no effects) desktop when you log in, it will use metacity (or if this is a version older than 11.04, set visual effects to none in the appearance settings)
[21:07] <zykotick9> VampsDaBeast, alt+f2 then run "metacity --replace" should turn compiz off.
[21:08] <David__> Does anyone know of a way to force the apt utility to fetch data from the US servers? They all work from a box in the US, but my EU box gets timeouts when it accesses a different server in that region.
[21:08] <ochristi> Does not synpatics offer to select which servers to load from?
[21:08] <urlin2u> David__, change the mirror in software sources
[21:09] <David__> I didn't understand the "synpatics" reference.
[21:09] <htlm>  edinny good luck  I hate 11.04 cox of all that extra work thats not needed
[21:09] <David__> and urlin2u, how do I access "software sources" I'm not following 100% yet..
[21:09] <htlm> Cuz*
[21:09] <rajvi> hi all ;)
[21:10] <VampsDaBeast> trism, i'm running 11.04, I'm tryin to figure out why after a patch to Hero's Of Newerth all i get is a black screen.. forums suggest disabling Compiz.. but after just tryin.. it didnt work
[21:11] <htlm> Hi rajvi
[21:11] <urlin2u> David__, in synaptic-settings-repositories-downpoad from
[21:11] <Lorenzo> hello all
[21:12] <Larte> hey all
[21:12] <David__> Can you help me understand what synaptic is? I'm only so-so on linux administration
[21:12] <htlm> Hi
[21:12] <KM0201> !synaptic | David__
[21:12] <David__> ah yep, just pulled that up
[21:12] <htlm> Larte hi all
[21:12] <Larte> How do I reinstall my ubuntu on a laptop easiest? I dont want to save any of the files on the laptop?
[21:12] <KM0201> lol
[21:12] <David__> thanks, I'll go through it, looks like what I needed, I appreciate it!
[21:12]  * KM0201 thinks Guest75052 is sneaky.
[21:12] <Lorenzo> I need quick help on a ubuntu server (I messed up...)
[21:12] <yeats> David__: synaptic does the same thing as the Ubuntu Software Center - just a different interface
[21:12] <RicardoMontalban> ...For some reason Ubantu has stopped recognizing my CRT and now it just says Unknown and it's stuck at 1024x768 at 60Hz (this is a CRT so imagine how annoying that must be on your eyes)... and i'm using an 82845GL and scrolling and moving windows is pretty laggy and its annoying
[21:12] <al_nz1> morning all
[21:13] <RicardoMontalban> Help
[21:13] <KM0201> yeats: that and synaptic doesn't suck.
[21:13] <al_nz1> how do you start the http daemon in ubuntu, or at leats check its running?
[21:13] <KM0201> Lorenzo: what did you do to server? (you might try asking in ubuntu-server)
[21:13] <David__> I see, so no apt-get's and the like...
[21:13] <yeats> KM0201: heh ;-)
[21:13] <David__> Oh, but this is a command line server
[21:13] <David__> no UI...
[21:13] <jrib> no, just a stupid client
[21:13] <Larte> How do I reinstall my ubuntu on a laptop easiest? I dont want to save any of the files on the laptop?
[21:13] <yeats> David__: ah - then...
[21:13] <KM0201> jrib: :)
[21:13] <mkanyicy> al_nz1: sudo service apache restart
[21:13] <yeats> !aptitude | David__
[21:13] <KM0201> David__: then you'll need to use apt-get or aptitude
[21:14] <mkanyicy> al_nz1: sudo service apache2 restart
[21:14] <lamefun> what libs I should install to cross-compile x86_64 -> x86?
[21:14] <David__> changing the mirror on apt-get is my goal now I think, but never done anything like that before
[21:14] <Lorenzo> I've make an error on a script: chown -R lorenzo:lorenzo /*
[21:14] <htlm> RicardoMontalban I'M guessing unity try to play with it to get it to work
[21:14] <yeats> David__: aptitude is somewhere between the CLI and GUI, so it might be a good optoin
[21:14] <al_nz1> mkanyicy: that worked (apache2)
[21:14] <KM0201> Lorenzo: owned
[21:15] <RicardoMontalban> htlm, i'm using Gnome because I hate Unity and it says i dont have the hardware for it
[21:15] <David__> I'll play with aptitude, I have always used apt-get to build the server
[21:15] <mkanyicy> !yay | al_nz1
[21:15] <KM0201> Lorenzo: that is gonna be a ery very very tough one to undo
[21:15] <htlm> Hi
[21:15] <al_nz1> ubottu: yeah, this software needs a http daemon, it talks about service httpd , but i guess apache will do?
[21:15] <plouffe_> Larte, you can overwrite the old install
[21:15] <yeats> David__: in that case, pick a URL from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors and substitute it for the one in /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:16] <Lorenzo> I stopped it as soon as I realized... it has changed permission on bin boot dev etc home lib
[21:16] <David__> aha, sources.list, I just saw that in some doc... ok, I'll look at that, sounds promising. Thanks yeats
[21:16] <plouffe_> just go through the normal install and select the partition it's on
[21:16] <KM0201> Lorenzo: yeah, it's probably gonna be a lot easier to reinstall.. sorry.. be a bit mroe careful next time
[21:17] <mkanyicy> al_nz1: ubbotu is not a person
[21:17] <Larte> plouffe_ ok so I just download the install.iso and run it again?
[21:17] <laanan> Can someone explain to me where programs should be installed (if I don't use apt-get, for instance)? Like, say a word processor or a game or something? (I am a recent Windows convert)...
[21:17] <plouffe_> Larte, yea
[21:17] <Lorenzo> :(((
[21:17] <edbian> laanan: /usr/local/bin/
[21:17] <yeats> Lorenzo: just think of it as another lesson in why people warn you to be careful as root ;-)
[21:17] <plouffe_> Larte, burn it to a disk, then boot from CD
[21:17] <edbian> laanan: or /opt  (but I've never used that)
[21:18] <Larte> plouffe_ okeyokey thanks
[21:18] <edbian> laanan: Also you could put it in /home/<you>/bin but then only you can run it
[21:18] <Lorenzo> the script has a $variable got blank....
[21:18] <mkanyicy> laanan: use /usr/local/bin
[21:18] <KM0201> Lorenzo: like i said, be more careful next time, this will be a good learning experience for you
[21:19] <hypertyper> what's my best bet for finding out about ubuntu one sync status? I've tried installing an applet but can't figure out how to install it :| Can't find anything useful on googl
[21:19] <Krenair> What are GCC's 32-bit development libraries called in the package manager?
[21:19] <Lorenzo> chown root isn't a good idea isn't it ?
[21:20] <Gentoo64> nope
[21:20] <yeats> Lorenzo: no - there are many files that should not be owned by root
[21:20] <Lorenzo> yes... I imagine... service users ?
[21:21] <yeats> Lorenzo: exactly
[21:21] <laanan> edbian, mkanyicy thanks
[21:22] <Lorenzo> I've not yet restarted the server: how many probs to not booting at all ?
[21:22] <NathanWW> I have some questions about Clusters as i'm looking at building one for the fun of it. however throught all my research ive not been able to get some simple questions answerd is there anyone around that knows some about clusters? and debian? and that would perhaps have a few min to spare and maby get me looking in the right directions.
[21:22] <NathanWW> not debian sorry i mean ubuntu
[21:22] <japro> so i'm in the process of setting up stuff on my new 64bit ubuntu and when trying to restart i get a lot of "tainted shutdown" or similar
[21:22] <yeats> NathanWW: why don't you just ask your question(s)?
[21:23] <yeats> NathanWW: someone may know - if not here, probably in #ubuntu-server
[21:23] <edbian> laanan: sure
[21:24] <RicardoMontalban> this is so annoying, i cant figure out why my monitor is suddenly not detected and its just stuck at 1024x768 @ 60Hz
[21:24] <RicardoMontalban> it used to list my monitor's name in gnome monitor settings
[21:25] <hypertyper> nvm
[21:25] <Lorenzo> KM201: if I reboot it's dead ?
[21:27] <misterbot> I am running Ubuntu under a virtual machine (Parallels).  Moving away from Ubuntu (and back) will sometimes kill gnome window boarder (e.g., with window re-sizing).  Is there a way to respawn gnome without loosing my login session?
[21:29] <coilbucker> The live usb works and I've got a functioning ubuntu desktop. What do I do to the partitions again?
[21:31] <jacha> hola
[21:32] <kidd> hello
[21:33] <Zatara75> ls
[21:33] <hellfirex> hello?
[21:33] <lmnop> hide!
[21:33] <hellfirex> lol
[21:33] <kidd> wow
[21:34] <hellfirex> If im here looking to join one of the art projects who do i talk to?
[21:34] <rhin0> anyone know what to do to get ubuntu 10.10 to install on a dell inspiron m5010 -- there is an obvious problem (something to do with "acpi = off"?) ...
[21:34] <bittyx-laptop> hi guys! i have two servers that i can access with ftp. one is a game server and the other is a web server. now, i need to set up a cron job that connects to the game server, finds the logs directory, and copies any new log files to a path on the web server, again, through ftp. is there some application that can already do this?
[21:34] <alkafoo> hellfirex: someone involved with one of the art projects
[21:35] <alkafoo> rhin0: what's the problem?
[21:35] <edbian> bittyx-laptop: What is a game server?
[21:35] <yeats> hellfirex: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork?action=show&redirect=ArtworkTeam
[21:35] <hellfirex> @alkafoo i was in that channel i no one answered
[21:35] <edbian> bittyx-laptop: This doesn't make sense for many reasons.  For example, you cannot automatically log in to things, you'd have to type your password.
[21:35] <rhin0> it doesn't install on an inspiron m5010 straight away -- somebody sai dit does if acpi = off but I can't even get to a prompt
[21:35] <rhin0> i'm just being lazy should investigate ... just thought someone would know
[21:36] <alkafoo> bittyx-laptop: so what's the problem?
[21:36] <alkafoo> edbian: of course you can
[21:36] <yeats> bittyx-laptop: you could set up NFS and rsync
[21:36] <edbian> alkafoo: how?
[21:36] <alkafoo> rhin0: what does it do?
[21:36] <rhin0> just a black screen after initial purple loading screen
[21:36] <alkafoo> edbian: all sorts of ways
[21:36] <edbian> alkafoo: such as?
[21:36] <alkafoo> rhin0: can you hear the install disc spinning
[21:37] <alkafoo> edbian: keys
[21:37] <coilbucker> I've got the installer up in the live usb. How do I reinstall the os without accidentally erasing vista?
[21:37] <rhin0> it does spin because it begins to boot
[21:37] <hellfirex> thank you
[21:37] <alkafoo> rhin0: does it keep spinning?
[21:37] <edbian> alkafoo: good point
[21:37] <alkafoo> coilbucker: ...reinstall?
[21:37] <rhin0> no idea
[21:37] <hellfirex> this the answer and questions channel?
[21:37] <alkafoo> hellfirex: sure
[21:37] <rhin0> i'll stick around keep trying it alkafoo
[21:37] <coilbucker> Reinstall. I've screwed up my ubuntu desktop somehow and now it won't boot correctly.
[21:37] <zykotick9> rhin0, if you use ati/nvidia check "/msg ubottu nomodeset"
[21:37] <alkafoo> hellfirex: finding a mailing list or list of project members might be more helpful to you
[21:37] <bittyx-laptop> edbian: sorry, i wasn't clear enough. basically, i have two remote servers that i can log into via FTP. i'd like to sync them, copying anything new that appears on one server (in a particular path of course) to a place on the second server.
[21:38] <edbian> bittyx-laptop: can you ssh into them?
[21:38] <hellfirex> is the fix for 11.04 on a 1311 braodcom card out?
[21:38] <alkafoo> rhin0: check the BIOS, see if there are any SATA compatibility modes you can toggle
[21:38] <bittyx-laptop> alkafoo: i don't really have a problem - i just don't know which program i would use for that
[21:38] <alkafoo> coilbucker: what happens when you try to boot it?
[21:38] <bittyx-laptop> yeats: i've heard of rsync - what is NFS?
[21:38] <rhin0> if the disk has stopped spinning alkafoo -- that could be what it is?
[21:38] <yeats> !nfs | bittyx-laptop
[21:38] <alkafoo> bittyx-laptop: any easily scriptable ftp client, or rsync, or scp
[21:38] <rhin0> i've tried from a USB key -- the same happens alkafoo
[21:38] <bittyx-laptop> edbian: i don't have ssh access, but i have ftp access
[21:38] <coilbucker> The unity desktop lets me log in, but gets several errors like the text when you mouse over things doesn't disappear.
[21:38] <rhin0> so it's not disk alkafoo
[21:39] <alkafoo> rhin0: I've had a problem before where the CD drive wouldn't spin because of a BIOS option yes
[21:39] <edbian> bittyx-laptop: do you have ftp access to the log files you wanna move / copy ?
[21:39] <alkafoo> rhin0: if it turns out that's what it is, and if you'r dual booting Windows, remember to toggle it back before booting Windows
[21:39] <bittyx-laptop> alkafoo: well that's what i'm looking for - can you recommend an easily scriptable ftp client?
[21:39] <rhin0> ask I said alkafoo -- usb key also freezes
[21:39] <zykotick9> !nomodeset | rhin0
[21:39] <alkafoo> bittyx-laptop: lftp maybe?
[21:39] <bittyx-laptop> edbian: yes
[21:39] <rhin0> how can I get kernel boot parameters when it doesn't even let me in
[21:39] <alkafoo> bittyx-laptop: all the ones other than ordinary 'ftp' are pretty advanced, IRC
[21:39] <alkafoo> bittyx-laptop: but I'd use scp
[21:40] <bittyx-laptop> alkafoo: i'll check it out, as well as the other things you've mentioned
[21:40] <edbian> bittyx-laptop: then I it should be possible.  I'm not aware of anything that does it automatically but something could easily be built (using bash or python or something)
[21:40] <bittyx-laptop> alkafoo: i'd prefer something i could run as a cron job, say, every 3 hours
[21:40] <yeats> bittyx-laptop: try to get SSH access going - it would ease your issue
[21:40] <rhin0> alkafoo - how can I get kernel boot parameters when it doesn't even let me in
[21:40] <alkafoo> bittyx-laptop: you can run anything as a cronjob, including an scp transfer
[21:40] <alkafoo> rhin0: you'd need the GRUB menu screen
[21:40] <bittyx-laptop> yeats: well that would be nice, but both servers are on hosting plans that don't allow ssh
[21:40] <yeats> bittyx-laptop: yikes
[21:41] <rhin0> yes but - alkafoo the grub menu you don't get when you boot from the live cd/usb
[21:41] <bittyx-laptop> basically, i'd run a process on my own server that sort of "connects" the two remote servers
[21:41] <nac-godfather> cluster
[21:41] <bittyx-laptop> i'm just not sure how to google that
[21:41] <alkafoo> rhin0: not even when holding SHIFT during bootup?
[21:41] <rhin0> ah -- shift -- didn't know this alkafoo
[21:41] <rhin0> :)
[21:42] <alkafoo> rhin0: you're just trying to install Ubuntu, right?  For a dual boot or just Ubuntu alone?
[21:42] <zykotick9> alkafoo, that doesn't apply for livecd/usb - that's for grub.  it's press any button at the first GUI screen (with the stick man)
[21:42] <rhin0> ubuntu alone
[21:42] <marian_> o_o
[21:43] <davyde> wich one is better to run xp in ubuntu? wmware virtual box or qemu?
[21:43] <user> I purchased a new battery for my laptop and it's oly charging to 60% so ubuntu says
[21:43] <magentar> virtualbox
[21:43] <edbian> user: yeah, batteries suck don't they?
[21:44] <alkafoo> zykotick9: you mean it doesn't do that for GRUB for the live images?
[21:44] <user> i just tried to run off battery and it died after 40 secs
[21:44] <alkafoo> davyde: kvm is the best, then VirtualBox
[21:44] <user> Is there any calibration?
[21:44] <zykotick9> davyde, vmware = nonfree, virtualbox is good for desktop stuff, qemu/kvm for server or cpu intensive stuff
[21:44] <alkafoo> davyde: or if you require seamless mode, VirtualBox might be the best
[21:44] <edbian> user: batteries just do that.  Over time they hold less and less of their charge
[21:44] <zykotick9> alkafoo, livemedia doesn't use grub actually
[21:44] <alkafoo> what's it use?
[21:44] <user> edbian: it's new
[21:45] <yeats> davyde: I'd go with VirtualBox, myself
[21:45] <edbian> user: then there might be some calibration as well
[21:45] <davyde> alkafoo, i want only try something on xp without reboot
[21:45] <zykotick9> alkafoo, not sure
[21:45] <zelluz> hi, I have made a bootable usb disk of ubuntu 11.04 64bit version as described on the ubuntu site, I try to restart my mac with osx installed, with alt button(tried also with c), but it will not find my usb... any tips? Been on this for the last 5 hours!
[21:45] <alkafoo> zykotick9: ...right
[21:45] <user> edbian: any idea where?
[21:45] <davyde> can i put the virtualmachine on other partition?
[21:45] <zykotick9> alkafoo, isolinux maybe?
[21:45] <zelluz> osx lion*
[21:45] <alkafoo> davyde: like I said, kvm is the best, but egrep 'svm|vmx' /proc/cpuinfo has to report something for you to be able to use it
[21:46] <edbian> user: I'm guessing the system does it automatically so if you fully charge and discharge it should get better at guessing
[21:46] <alkafoo> davyde: VirtualBox is the "simplest", and has a cute feature called seamless mode you might like
[21:46] <alkafoo> davyde: the others really aren't worth your time outside of extremely special situations
[21:46] <zykotick9> davyde, kvm is non-trivial to use compared to VBox.  I'm not a fan of the libvirt addition, but ymmv
[21:46] <user> edbian: thats what i thought. i did just that last night.
[21:47]  * yeats agrees with alkafoo and zykotick9
[21:47] <user> it worked longer last night.
[21:47] <edbian> user: I'm not sure then.  Is it saying that the battery only holds 60% of it's charge?
[21:47] <user> 2 hours
[21:47] <user> Well it did last night now it says 100% but died after 40 sec.
[21:47] <edbian> user: the battery died after 40 seconds?
[21:48] <user> oh wait, i got some strange stats
[21:48] <user> time till full: 0
[21:48] <user> time till empty: 0
[21:48] <user> percentage: 0.0%
[21:48] <user> Capacity: 100%
[21:49] <user> rate 0.0w
[21:49] <edbian> user: It doesn't know what's up
[21:49] <edbian> user: or the battery is ruined / disconnected
[21:50] <hypertyper> I have ubuntu one and dropbox installed on two machines and it seems uOne hasn't noticed a change by the time dropbox has already enforced it on the other. Is dropbox just faster?
[21:50] <user> edbian: i did think of it being ruined. Disconnected is not possable..
[21:50] <rhin0> alkafoo: got it going pci=noacpi -- whats that?  (pls)
[21:50] <user> edbain: thanks..
[21:50] <japro> what package contains libGL?
[21:51] <edbian> user: sorry man!
[21:51] <japro> i tried libgl1-mesa-dev but it doesnt solve my compilation problem
[21:52] <alkafoo> rhin0: voodoo
[21:52] <rhin0> ok
[21:52] <alkafoo> rhin0: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface

[21:55] <nomadicus_> Hello I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 onto a HP Mini 1030nr and during the install the screen glitches and the process freezes.  What causes this and how can I cure it?
[21:56] <|Slacker|> nomadicus_: have you tried 11.04?
[21:56] <|Slacker|> maybe it's a driver issue
[21:58] <racho> nomadicus_, also md5 checksum the image file and check there are now errors with the cd (if installing from a cd)
[21:59] <RadarG> hello I need some help, I need to be able to search for all files belonging  to user and copy them to another directory
[21:59] <RadarG> I figure grep can do it but I dont have the command right
[22:02] <phassber> Hello! I need a bluetooth USB something for my XMBC setup.. can someone recommend som hw which is known to work
[22:02] <phassber> xbmc
[22:03] <genii-around> What sort of "something" is it supposed to be?
[22:05] <qin> phassber: man find; find . -user username -exec cp {} /some/where/ \;
[22:05] <SIFTU> phassber: that doesnt make sense.. as genii-around said.. what is the something you need
[22:06] <qin> RadarG: ^^^ (wrong nick, sorry)
[22:07] <phassber> SIFTU: what do you call it bluetooth interface?!
[22:08] <alkafoo> emitter
[22:08] <alkafoo> you can get an expensive one from bestbuy etc.
[22:08] <SIFTU> phassber: remote.. transmitter?
[22:08] <alkafoo> or wait for a really cheap, potentially crappier one from dealextreme.com
[22:09] <phassber> SIFTU: reciever ;D
[22:09] <alkafoo> expensive being around $30
[22:10] <phassber> SIFTU: Ill use my wii remote but need  some bluetooth card or some such to connect to my xbmc
[22:10] <phassber> box
[22:10] <a4_> So with Ubuntu (Natty) many common applications are only updated upon each new release and ONLY at each release even though the program itself has since updated. How do I bypass this and update the program?
[22:11] <alkafoo> phassber: go to computer/office supply store, buy USB bluetooth dongle, done
[22:12] <SIFTU> phassber: http://global.ebay.com/BLUETOOTH-USB-DONGLE-LINUXWINDOWSMAC-SUPPORT/180718765461/item
[22:12] <phassber> alkafoo: ye that was my question for recomendations
[22:12] <phassber> dongle was apparantly the word i was looking for
[22:14] <MeanEYE> Oh, this channel is unexpectedly quiet.
[22:14] <alkafoo> phassber: you might make sure it supports a2dp if you want to use "high quality" audio with any wireless devices, but other than that they don't vary much in quality
[22:14] <iceroot> !backports | a4
[22:14] <MeanEYE> I guess it's only before the storm which will come with 11.10
[22:14] <phassber> alkafoo: cheers
[22:15] <alkafoo> alkafoo: what bestbuy has (they have no selection last I checked, just rocketfish) will do fine
[22:15] <alkafoo> phassber: most of the ultra-cheap ones you can get online will also do fine, you just have to wait for them
[22:15] <alkafoo> really better if you need a bunch of them
[22:15] <phassber> thanks really very much appreciated
[22:16] <phassber> :)
[22:16] <rycar> how do I change the order of the icons in my dock?
[22:16] <a4> iceroot is there any REAL danger to running backports?
[22:17] <alkafoo> rycar: did you try click-and-dragging?
[22:17] <rww> a4: sure. they don't get tested anywhere near as much as normal updates, and if they break things they're not supported in here.
[22:17] <rycar> alkafoo: yes, but that makes all of the icons scroll together instead of changing order
[22:17] <rww> at least, I don't think they are :\
[22:17] <MeanEYE> rycar: You need to drag icon off the launcher and then drag it where you want it.
[22:17] <h0pi> server <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:18] <rycar> MeanEYE, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
[22:18] <MeanEYE> rycar: Don't mention it :)
[22:18] <a4> rww in all likely hood wouldnt it just make the app itself unstable? say if im using a backport version of VLC media player... its not gonna crash ubuntu is it?
[22:18] <rww> a4: I'd highly doubt it, but anything's possible.
[22:18] <japro> what am i doing wrong, i'm tryint to compile something but always get "cannot find -lGL" but i definitely install libgl1-mesa-dev
[22:18] <japro> installed
[22:19] <MeanEYE> a4: If you are using older libs than app needs application is not going to start. If you have newer libs, they usually keep backward compatibility.
[22:19] <alkafoo> japro: why're you compiling something
[22:19] <japro> because i'm programming something :D
[22:19] <japro> acutally i just try to setup my cuda environment on my new machine
[22:20] <japro> but i can't get the samples to compile
[22:21] <coilbucker> KM0201: just saying thanks for getting my install working. Aside from grub getting the names of my vista partition and recovery partition mixed up, everything works great.
[22:21] <MeanEYE> japro: http://www.stealthcopter.com/blog/2010/02/compiling-and-running-cuda-2-3-sdk-and-toolkit-on-ubuntu-9-10-x64-64-bit/#comment-4242
[22:21] <KM0201> coilbucker: hmm, not sure why it would have done that, but glad all is resolved
[22:21] <MeanEYE> japro: It's an old post but might help you.
[22:22] <coilbucker> I can probably fix that by switching some names in a text file or something. At least I have a working linux desktop now.
[22:22] <MeanEYE> japro: This is a bit more extensive post: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=171590
[22:22] <KM0201> coilbucker: yeah, it should be easy enought o modify, or.. don't risk bricking it, and leave well enough alone
[22:23] <coilbucker> Will probably just leave it. Either way, thanks.
[22:24] <latexHelp> How can I remove "???" -file?
[22:24] <MeanEYE> latexHelp: Where did you see it?
[22:24] <MeanEYE> latexHelp: and from which application?
[22:24] <latexHelp> nonsense, I created it myself
[22:25] <SIFTU> latexHelp: lol, delete the inode
[22:25] <latexHelp> "?" is a special character, I need to somehow remove the file
[22:25] <MeanEYE> latexHelp: Either remove inode like SIFTU said, or try from terminal by escaping characters.
[22:25] <alkafoo> rm \?TAB, or rm "???"

[22:26] <alkafoo> 1) kicking it
[22:27] <MeanEYE> nomadicus__: Did you change hard drives, cables or anything? That can be a problem. Also if you changed fstab, that can be too.
[22:28] <latexHelp> SIFTU: thank you, worked.
[22:29] <japro> hmm, libGL.so is in lib32
[22:29] <japro> can i just link against that?
[22:29] <SIFTU> latexHelp: np.. I once had a kind someone who uploaded a bunch of undeletable files to an ftp server and had to use that method
[22:29] <japro> or was it a mistake to have the driver installer install "32bit compatibility"-thingy?
[22:30] <MeanEYE> japro: You have 64bit system?
[22:31] <kasper> hola
[22:31] <japro> MeanEYE, yup
[22:31] <Technicus> MeanEYE; There were no hard drive changes.
[22:31] <MeanEYE> japro: and you are trying to compile 32bit examples?
