[06:28] <__sephiroth> jtannenbaum, how many workspaces do you have?
[06:28] <babu__> yep.... i have n/w connectivity....but the problem lies only in xchat
[06:28] <jtannenbaum> __sephiroth: 12 currently
[06:28] <bazhang> jtannenbaum, with the open windows? does not click on the workspaces icon have some effect?
[06:29] <babu__> i'm now commenting frm firefox
[06:29] <__sephiroth> jtannenbaum, way too many man... i use to do like 9... and i have dual screen on top of that
[06:29] <wsagent> wildbat yes you are correct
[06:29] <bazhang> babu__, what port do you have xchat set to connect on
[06:29] <markekeller> Does anyone know of a way to recover files from a corrupted partition without losing filenames and directory structure?
[06:29] <__sephiroth> jtannenbaum, if you just started, you might not notice it... but it kinda influences procrastination ... and disorginization
[06:29] <__sephiroth> disorganization
[06:29] <IdleOne> xchat in ubuntu defaults to 8001 bazhang
[06:30] <babu__> default..
[06:30] <bazhang> markekeller, photrec testdisk
[06:30] <babu__> i didn't modfy any settings
[06:30] <markekeller> I tried it with PhotoRec, but the files are unsorted and unnamed.
[06:30] <babu__> i 'm using proxy server...is there any problem in that
[06:30] <markekeller> And it's a mess. After a few thousand files, it sigseved on me, too.
[06:30] <wsagent> wildbat: how can i enable global dns ?
[06:31] <bazhang> babu__, yes that would be it
[06:31] <jtannenbaum> 1 for xchat, 2 for chrome(peronsal stuff), 3 for personal project, 4 for transmission, 5 for rhythmbox, 6 is usually empty, 7 for viewing the website I'm working on in chrome, 8 for reading a comic while my code pushes, 9 for multipurpose, 10 for editing my website code, 11 for business chrome window (gmail, toggl, etc) + docs, 12 for the project specs
[06:31] <jtannenbaum> not too unreasonable if you ask me
[06:32] <scarylarry> my md5 hash 8b1085bed498b82ef1485ef19074c281
[06:32] <jtannenbaum> personal*
[06:32] <wildbat> wsagent: ?~ what do you mean by enable?~~
[06:33] <bazhang> !hashes
[06:33] <babu__> wat should i do to rectify this problem
[06:33] <bazhang> scarylarry, see above ^
[06:33] <scarylarry> i looked it up it's right
[06:33] <bazhang> scarylarry, and the disk integrity check? did that pass?
[06:35] <wildbat> wsagent:  you mean using other dns ?
[06:35] <natrixnatrix89> Hello. I have installed ubuntu, and then I installed lubuntu-desktop. Now the problem is I have both login screens. and sometimes it runs lxdm, and sometimes it runs the original ubuntu login screen. How do I set the login screen manager and disable original display manager?
[06:35] <wsagent> wildbat :when i try to global dns manually from Wicd but it shows global dns is not enabled in general settings
[06:35] <bazhang> babu__, xchat preferences network settings proxy try there
[06:35] <scarylarry> disk integrity check...
[06:36] <bazhang> natrixnatrix89, remove gdm? or gnome altogether?
[06:36] <babu__> bazhang: what port no should i give there
[06:36] <bazhang> babu__, I dont know your proxy settings
[06:37] <natrixnatrix89> bazhang: I don't know. All I want is to disable the original login screen. because now it chooses the login screen on random. and when it uses the original one, I get issues running os
[06:37] <bullgard4> What programs fill the file  .xsession-errors?
[06:37] <bazhang> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde natrixnatrix89 for the latter
[06:37] <babu__> bazhang: what's type mean.. should i keep disabled
[06:37] <wildbat> wsagent:  oh you are not using nm-applet~ idk ~ i don't use wcid ~ but you can use set to <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS> statically ~
[06:39] <babu> what s the port number mean in proxy settings..
[06:39] <babu> could you please explain that
[06:39] <natrixnatrix89> bazhang: but if I just want to remove gdm?
[06:40] <dr_Willis> odd its running boh
[06:40] <dr_Willis> that. dies not happen here
[06:41] <natrixnatrix89> ok. ill just try apt-get remove gdm
[06:41] <dr_Willis> remove /etc/init/gdm.conf.   to disable gdm. is one way
[06:41] <dr_Willis> no need to remove gdm
[06:41] <natrixnatrix89> dr_Willis: Thanks
[06:41] <natrixnatrix89> that was more what I was looking for
[06:41] <dr_Willis> or..  sudo dpkg-reconfigure lxdm
[06:42] <dr_Willis> should work as well
[06:42] <natrixnatrix89> yeah. thank's! You're the best..
[06:42] <dr_Willis> i have kdm. gdm and lxdm all indtalled here with no issues
[06:42] <natrixnatrix89> sounds like that's what I just wanted. will try. hope it works
[06:42] <natrixnatrix89> but it should work..

[06:50] <dabarons> but does ubuntu 11.04 have such a dir ?
[06:50] <dabarons> it says ./gnome2/....
[06:50] <dabarons> ultimately the scripts are for when you right click, they are options for specific files...
[06:50] <dabarons> to mount UDF ISO files in fact..

[06:51] <kaushal> Hi
[06:51] <kaushal> is there a way to push partner repos in Ubuntu Local mirror ?
[06:52] <bullgard4> dabarons: More careful wording of your question will raise chances to get a useful answer.
[06:52] <dabarons> where should i put the .sh scripts I created for nautilus-scripts related usage (right click context menu)

[06:58] <Anastasius> Does this place serve a purpose anymore?  All of these questions can be answered through Google searches or visiting the forums, so is this just here to prop up the egos of those who like to toss people out?
[06:59] <wildbat> wsagent: tracepath -b <IP_ADDRESS> , this will run a while
[06:59] <Anastasius> And since people are leaving Ubuntu in droves maybe it's just time to close up shop.
[06:59] <bazhang> Anastasius, actual support question?  please enough with the commentary
[07:00] <Anastasius> bazhang: Oh don't be silly.
[07:00] <PsyCl0ne> Why am I getting this error out put near the end of apt-get update http://pastebin.com/tcJjR7jr   ??
[07:01] <Anastasius> PsyCl0ne: You should probably google that.
[07:01] <bazhang> Anastasius, dont recommend that here
[07:01] <PsyCl0ne> Just want a quick fix, I have other stuff Im working on and Im not exactly sure what I should be looking for
[07:02] <Corey> PsyCl0ne: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf

[07:05] <PsyCl0ne> Have a great night all
[07:05] <bazhang> scarylarry, thats odd, you may want to try some bootoptions or use the installer only text based alternative cd
[07:05] <bazhang> !bootoptions | scarylarry
[07:06] <scarylarry> i've tried nomodeset, but i'll try more boot options
[07:06] <Tesseract> to, once again, reiterate: why does ifconfig give device not found for usb0?
[07:06] <bazhang> scarylarry, the alternate cd is at www.ubuntu.com should wish to try that
[07:06] <Tesseract> not enough information?
[07:06] <wsagent> wildbat: result for tracepath -b <IP_ADDRESS> http://paste.ubuntu.com/636217/
[07:06] <scarylarry> what is this text based alternative cd called, exactly because all i found was the one i have
[07:06] <bazhang> Tesseract, whats the chipset
[07:06] <wildbat> wsagent: hmmm ~ that did go to <IP_ADDRESS> @@
[07:07] <bazhang> scarylarry, alternate cd
[07:07] <bazhang> !alternate | scarylarry
[07:08] <Tesseract> bazhang: it's a x200 with a Intel GM45/ICH9-ME
[07:08] <Tesseract> chipset
[07:08] <bazhang> Tesseract, the wifi?
[07:09] <scarylarry> i have a feeling this alternat will work, i tried ubuntu v5 and it did install but it's pretty dated, and missing alot of things i want
[07:09] <Tesseract> bazhang: it's the standard built-in one.
[07:09] <bazhang> scarylarry, very dated, yes. it works most times when the live cd somehow does not
[07:09] <wsagent> wildbat : then y there is no internet ?
[07:10] <bazhang> Tesseract, ifconfig with usb0 is for what then
[07:10] <g_> I got the right message this time
[07:10] <wildbat> wsagent: idk why is that happen ~ it end unexpected, did rebooting help?
[07:10] <Tesseract> bazhang: i'm trying to get ethernet over usb for a ben nanonote (tiny linux computer)
[07:10] <scarylarry> but that version doesn't support access of ntfs filesystem
[07:10] <wsagent> noi tried rebooting several times
[07:10] <g_> !)Xsession has invalid number of arguments (2) falling back to default session
[07:11] <bazhang> g_, dont preface with !
[07:11] <g_> accidently
[07:11] <wildbat> wsgent: did you try LAN on ubuntu yet ?
[07:11] <g_> I get this message everytime I try to log into Ubuntu or Unity 2d:  1)Xsession has invalid number of arguments (2) falling back to default session
[07:12] <wsagent> wildbat: no tried rebooting several times
[07:12] <wildbat> wsagent: did you try LAN on ubuntu yet ?
[07:13] <wsagent> wildbat: sorry for disturbing you upto these much time thanks a lot for your help, LAN is working properly
[07:13] <wsagent> only problem is WIFI
[07:13] <bazhang> http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Ethernet_over_USB   Tesseract from this guide then, presumably
[07:13] <scarylarry> thanks bazhang i'll give the alternate a try and be back if it doesn't work, good bye and thanks again.
[07:14] <maahes> I'm having a really screwed up problem, I have some process running which is spinning up my cpu to 100%, but it doesn't show up in htop
[07:15] <Tesseract> bazhang: correct. however, according to the manual, i should be able to ping the device so long as i punch in "ifconfig usb0 (ip address)"
[07:16] <wildbat> wsagent: that is strange ~ i don't know how to troubleshoot it . ask around with the pastebin of tracepath.
[07:16] <g_> I get this message everytime I try to log into Ubuntu or Unity 2d:  1)Xsession has invalid number of arguments (2) falling back to default session
[07:16] <Tesseract> bazhang: into ubuntu
[07:16] <wsagent> wildbat : thanks a lot anyway its so strange and annoying but what to do
[07:17] <Gskellig> after an update, the color of random things has changed, and my icons changed
[07:17] <Gskellig> all I did was an update and reboot
[07:18] <getdarkerdc> does anyone know why cairo-dock would be keeping the same cofiguration as an old install, even when i delete the package with synaptic manager - then go to the /var/cache and delete all the files there too ?
[07:18] <wildbat> wsagent: i am not sure ~ the tracepath targeted <IP_ADDRESS> but it just end at your router and no further error/pinging ....
[07:19] <dabarons> im trying to run a script but it says cannot mount
[07:19] <dabarons> where can i find out why
[07:19] <wildbat> wsagent:  what dns you have set?
[07:20] <g_> I get this message everytime I try to log into Ubuntu or Unity 2d:  1)Xsession has invalid number of arguments (2) falling back to default session
[07:23] <bullgard4> What programs fill the file  .xsession-errors?
[07:25] <keith2> hi i'm back

[07:27] <HackNewton> hi all
[07:27] <wlee> hello, i recently installed edubuntu-desktop on my ubuntu 11.04 system and on restart whenever I try to log on via gui, I get a msgbox that says "no valid session found". I googled this and have yet to find anything helpful. looking at the syslog, the last message reads "gnome-session[1986]: Gtk-CRITICAL: IA__gtk_main_quit: assertion `main_loops != NULL' failed".
[07:27] <tonvin> qurey wildbat
[07:27] <wlee> no matter which desktop i choose, unity 2d, ubuntu, ubuntu-classic, I get this message every time
[07:27] <wlee> has anyone seen this before?
[07:28] <bazhang> tonvin, its /query and better to ask first
[07:28] <bazhang> wlee, including unity-2d no effects?
[07:28] <Totem-Schalter> in users and groups what shell do u have listed
[07:29] <g_> I get this message everytime I try to log into Ubuntu or Unity 2d:  1)Xsession has invalid number of arguments (2) falling back to default session
[07:29] <wlee> bazhang i don't see a unit-2d no effects, there's a ubuntu-classic no effects, but yes, i get that with all desktops
[07:30] <wsagent> tonvin yes what info do you want ?
[07:31] <g_> is there a reason why I would be able to use ANY other desktop except gnome?
[07:31] <bazhang> wlee, how about disabling splash and looking for errors there
[07:31] <bazhang> g_, personal preference
[07:31] <HackNewton> i think there might be problem with your GTK merge
[07:31] <g_> bazhang, I don't think you understand, I cant login to gnome at all
[07:32] <wlee> bazhang, wouldn't i find those messages in the syslog
[07:32] <Senjai> Hey guys, I'm attempting to wipe ubuntu 10.10 off a dualbooting windoes machine for a clean reinstall. How can i reset the windows master boot record so i dont need the installation disk to repair it when i remove the ubuntu partitions (windows was factory installed, i dont have the disk). E.g. how can I undo what grub did? I will then use windows disk management to remove the linux partitions
[07:32] <wlee> i'm able to logon to the machine via ctrl-alt-f1
[07:32] <HackNewton> Anybody knows good games for Ubuntu ?
[07:33] <wlee> in text mode
[07:33] <Senjai> HackNewton, minecraft
[07:33] <Tesseract> bazhang: any ideas? or should i just give up with this computer?
[07:33] <tonsofpcs> Senjai: uh... ##windows but fixmbr should do it...
[07:33] <bazhang> !games | HackNewton
[07:33] <dabarons> i have a script trying to run this little gem: if sudo mount -o loop -t auto "$*" /media/"$*" however it doesnt work
[07:33] <Senjai> tonsofpcs, fixmbr is a windows installation disk program isnt it?
[07:33] <Tesseract> HackNewton: assaultcube is always fun
[07:33] <bazhang> HackNewton, check software center and top25 linux games in a search engine as well
[07:33] <Corey> dabarons: Sounds like your gem is a rock?
[07:33] <tonsofpcs> Senjai: ##windows
[07:34] <Senjai> tonsofpcs, Alright, I'm trying to go 100% ubuntu, just using this to get a clean install
[07:34] <dabarons> i got it work manually by typing  sudo mount -t udf,iso9660 -o loop /home/cooldude/blah.iso /media/iso
[07:34] <tonsofpcs> Senjai: uh... why do you need wwindows for that?
[07:34] <Tesseract> HackNewton: Fairly sure that UrbanTerror is also compatable with linux
[07:34] <dabarons> now that i know that works... what should i do to the code for the script?
[07:34] <HackNewton> thanks Tesseract
[07:34] <Tesseract> HackNewton: Your welcome!
[07:35] <Senjai> tonsofpcs, I want to wipe ubuntu clean, and reinstall the new version (i have 10.10 right now)
[07:35] <Senjai> tonsofpcs, because i know how to install linux from windows, easily.
[07:35] <tonsofpcs> so download the install cd, burn it, then use it to wipe the drive....
[07:35] <tonsofpcs> *goes to sleep*
[07:35] <Senjai> I need to backup certain files from windows first\
[07:35] <Senjai> onto the linux partition
[07:35] <Tesseract> senjai: cant you backup, format the ubuntu partition and re-install?
[07:36] <Senjai> I dont have enough external media to backup with CD's or external hard drives
[07:36] <Senjai> So i transfer through the partitions, then i set ubuntu to eat up the windows partition
[07:38] <HackNewton> Senjai, which partition type you are using for Ubuntu installtion ?
[07:38] <Senjai> HackNewton, i dont know, the one ubuntu sets up when it installes
[07:40] <HackNewton> okay you have to use software for viewing linux partition on your windows
[07:40] <HackNewton> try this
[07:40] <HackNewton> http://www.fs-driver.org/download.html
[07:40] <HackNewton> its simple and nice to work
[07:41] <HackNewton> and you can also copy paste the data into linux partition directly though your windows
[07:41] <dr_Willis> be carefull using windows tools to access linuxFS ive had them break badly.
[07:42] <Senjai> HackNewton, i use disk management to view partitions
[07:42] <Senjai> it comes in windows
[07:42] <HackNewton> yeah like dr_Willis said be careful
[07:42] <Senjai> It doesnt list a filesystem type though
[07:42] <Senjai> I think its ext4? for ubuntu
[07:42] <dr_Willis> theres viewing partions... then theres accessing data ON the filesystem
[07:43] <dr_Willis> 2 different jobs
[07:43] <HackNewton> yeah beacuse window dont regnise EXt partitions
[07:43] <dr_Willis> ext4 is default these days
[07:43] <dr_Willis> nit all of those windows tiols support ext4
[07:44] <hate_life> hi. I have ubuntu booting live from usb using unetbootin loader... how can i get ubuntu to start up only in cli mode
[07:44] <hate_life> 11.04 version of ubuntu
[07:44] <dr_Willis> i dont kniw if fs driver. supports ext4 yet
[07:45] <HackNewton> it supports dr_Willis i tried it
[07:45] <livio> hi
[07:45] <HackNewton> :)
[07:45] <dr_Willis> !text | hate_life
[07:45] <HackNewton> hi livio
[07:45] <livio> !list
[07:45] <hate_life> its not booted by grub but my unetbootin
[07:45] <hate_life> typing text won't work
[07:45] <dr_Willis> about time it got updated hack
[07:46] <dr_Willis> text optin should work there  also i belive
[07:46] <hate_life> have tried
[07:46] <preecher> ive added some ppa's just to grab some icon themes--is it ok to remove those ppa's now ?
[07:46] <hate_life> it says 'no such kernel found'
[07:46] <dr_Willis> uts a jernel option.. not a kernel
[07:47] <dr_Willis> append text to the end of rhe kernel line
[07:47] <ader10> Problem with bash not wrapping to a different line detailed here: http://pastebin.com/VsWGvErj Please help.
[07:47] <HackNewton> Hay just wondering ! Who is the creator and administrator of this channel ?
[07:48] <dr_Willis> or edit the right syslinux config files if on a usb stivk
[07:48] <Senjai> HackNewton, i asked in ##windows they said ubuntu has something like ms-sys, do you know about it?

[08:13] <jbrown561> howdy
[08:13] <jbrown561> Looking for some help on xubuntu channel w/ no luck. Maybe someone here has a thought ...
[08:13] <pRoV7x>  what's howdy?
[08:13] <jbrown561> Howdy as in 'hello'
[08:14] <pRoV7x>  cool
[08:14] <jbrown561> As in "howdy partners"
[08:14] <pRoV7x>  amazing
[08:14] <calvinow> pentarex: what causes this error?
[08:14] <MadGirl> error is probably the las thing you se
[08:14] <pRoV7x>  howdy you
[08:15] <pRoV7x>  =b
[08:15] <pentarex> calvinow: that what I am trying to figure out. Its working normally for 2-3 days and then bam this error
[08:15] <pentarex> and I have to hard restart it
[08:15] <Danny_> Hello, can anyone help me fix my dns?
[08:15] <calvinow> pentarex: does it occur repeatedly? How often?
[08:16] <almoxarife> Danny_: shoot
[08:16] <Danny_> ???
[08:16] <almoxarife> Danny_: what is broke/.?
[08:16] <auvajs> hello I try to install the newest version of adobe flash but I am unable to download it in firefox cause it wanna open it in atpurl and atpurl says: Unknown channel 'lucid-partner'. The channel 'lucid-partner' is not known and stops..
[08:17] <Danny_> Not sure I just can't connect to the Internet and it has something to do with my dns
[08:17] <almoxarife> Danny_: how do you connect to the internet?
[08:17] <Danny_> What do you mean?
[08:18] <almoxarife> Danny_: what type of connection
[08:18] <Danny_> Wired
[08:18] <geirha> ader10: My point is, it's very hard to read as it is now. I didn't see any obvious errors though, which could mean there's a bug in that version of bash.
[08:18] <pRoV7x>  Danny_ : have you tried another browser
[08:18] <almoxarife> Danny_: wired directly to or thru a network?
[08:19] <auvajs> hello I try to install the newest version of adobe flash but I am unable to download it in firefox cause it wanna open it in atpurl and atpurl says: Unknown channel 'lucid-partner'. The channel 'lucid-partner' is not known and stops.. can you help me please?
[08:19] <jbrown561> I have xubuntu installed on a netbook. Networking has worked in the past (a month ago or so).  I _think_ that it started having problems after an update about a month ago.  Wondering what the problem might be.  Also, wondering why the GUI network tools and the command line (/etc/networks/interfaces) don't seem to sync up (as in ifconfig shows eth0, but ifdown eth0 says there is no such interface)
[08:19] <pRoV7x>  Danny_ : or you can't connect to the Internet at all
[08:19] <Danny_> Wired through a network, no other browser works
[08:19] <ader10> geirha: #bash says that ubuntu messes is the cause of a bug like this, probably because ubuntu patches bash so much
[08:19] <Danny_> Yeah I cannot connect at all
[08:20] <pRoV7x>  Danny_ : what's your OS
[08:20] <almoxarife> Danny_: all other browsers on other machines on the same network do not access internet?
[08:20] <ader10> disregard "messes", my train of thought split in half while writing that
[08:21] <Danny_> Ubuntu 10.04, everything else can connect to the Internet just not my computer
[08:21] <geirha> ader10: Could be. The easiest way to tell is to build a vanilla bash and test with that.
[08:21] <calvinow> jbrown561: The command-line utilities and network manager never play nice together. That's not a symptom of your problem.
[08:21] <jbrown561> probably true, but still annoying
[08:22] <calvinow> that it is
[08:22] <jbrown561> right now, the only way I can get a connection (wired or wifi) is via command line tools and then only on wired
[08:22] <almoxarife> Danny_: did you configure your eth settings?
[08:22] <pRoV7x>  Danny_ : everything else connects to the internet using the same cable that you plug to your computer and they work fine
[08:23] <adminbin> who can tell me  where is this ?
[08:24] <Danny_> I've never had to configure it, I'm almost certain it's a network issue
[08:24] <Danny_> I don't think it has to do with the cable
[08:24] <almoxarife> Danny_: can't be a network issue if you are the only one without access to the outside, assuming everyone else is getting out
[08:25] <ThePaRaDoX> anyone knows any software like webmin or cpanel that is free? i have trouble using webmin cause it doesnt work with the login
[08:25] <pRoV7x>  Danny_ : yeah then you ned to configure the eth like almoxarife said
[08:25] <th^^> ThePaRaDoX: ispconfig
[08:25] <Danny_> I'm not sure exactly how to do that
[08:25] <almoxarife> Danny_: do you know where to do that?
[08:25] <ThePaRaDoX> th^^: is it web based?
[08:25] <th^^> yes
[08:26] <th^^> i use that on 10.04 LTS server
[08:26] <ThePaRaDoX> on 11.04 desktop?will it wosk?
[08:26] <ThePaRaDoX> work*
[08:26] <almoxarife> Danny_: system > prefs > netsettings
[08:26] <th^^> ThePaRaDoX: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-11.04-ispconfig-3
[08:27] <ThePaRaDoX> thx th^^  :)
[08:27] <Danny_> Ok then what
[08:27] <almoxarife> Danny_: system > prefs > net connections
[08:27] <th^^> ThePaRaDoX: http://www.ispconfig.org/ispconfig-3/documentation/ i recommend following those howtoforge articles step by step
[08:27] <ThePaRaDoX> thx a lot
[08:27] <ThePaRaDoX> appreciate it
[08:27] <almoxarife> Danny_: under wired, what do you see
[08:29] <pentarex> can anyone help me guys. Thank you
[08:29] <pentarex> I mean ? not . :P
[08:29] <Danny_> Auto etho
[08:29] <pRoV7x>  pentarex: what is your question
[08:30] <almoxarife> Danny_: click edit,  look at ipv4 settings, what's it say at top?
[08:30] <Danny_> Auto dchp adresses only
[08:31] <wildbat> Danny: Tips, instead of you think. state what is not working and pastebin the below for ppl better support you :
[08:31] <wildbat> ifconfig; route -n; cat /etc/resolv.conf; tracepath -n <IP_ADDRESS>;
[08:31] <pentarex> pRoV7x: http://imagebin.org/160855 this is my freeze can you tell me is it software freeze or hardware problem
[08:31] <stephanmg> mh, did thunderbird5 already land in natty?
[08:31] <almoxarife> Danny_: are you chatting on the same machine with the problem?
[08:31] <Danny_> No I'm using my phone
[08:32] <jackinthebox> booting through pxe i need help installing windows 7
[08:32] <jackinthebox> i set it up to install ubuntu but now i need win7
[08:32] <almoxarife> Danny_: same machine getting out via phone?
[08:32] <pRoV7x>  pentarex: where do you see this massege
[08:32] <Danny_> I'm not sure what you mean?
[08:33] <stricjux> Is it possible to set a static IP and a DHCP lease at the same time via "Network Connections"? I know how to do it with /etc/network/interfaces, but I'd use the graphical interface if possible.
[08:33] <xgt001> hello :) which is better in powersavings for notebook,?? KDE or GNOME ??
[08:34] <almoxarife> Danny_: there is an icon for the network connection on your top bar?
[08:34] <Danny_> Yes
[08:34] <pentarex> pRoV7x: Ive installed monitor to my server because this is an often problem. It's working 2-3 days and then stops without logs, I cant swtich the consoles with my keyboard (its not working at this time, only the num led is on) And this outputs when its down. I cant understand is it a software issue or hardware
[08:35] <almoxarife> Danny_: right click on it and read off 'connection info'
[08:36] <Danny_> All of the info?
[08:36] <almoxarife> Danny_: default route?
[08:36] <Danny_> <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:36] <almoxarife> Danny_: ip address
[08:37] <Danny_> <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:37] <almoxarife> Danny_: primary dns
[08:37] <almoxarife> that's my setup :)
[08:37] <Danny_> Its not there
[08:37] <xgt001>  hello :) which is better in powersavings for notebook,?? KDE or GNOME ??
[08:38] <almoxarife> Danny_: ok, well that answers that
[08:38] <ikonia> xgt001: really doesn't make a difference
[08:38] <Danny_> So how do I fix that?
[08:38] <the_p_> hi. i try to use ubuntu with kde that is why i want to remove gdm. But after i have removed it it is always automatically reinstalled and i don't know why and how to turn this off.
[08:38] <the_p_> does anyone have an idea what can cause this?
[08:39] <ikonia> the_p_: gdm won't get auto reinstalled
[08:39] <ikonia> the_p_: how are you removing it
[08:39] <almoxarife> Danny_: lets assume default route provides dns
[08:39] <pRoV7x>  pentarex: how many screens are pluged to your server
[08:39] <xgt001> ikonia: coz kde has these "aggressive power savings " profile, does it make some difference ?
[08:39] <ikonia> xgt001: it really doesn't
[08:39] <pentarex> pRoV7x: just one monitor
[08:39] <Danny_> Ok...
[08:40] <th^^> the_p_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm and select kdm as login manager. and no, gdm does definitely not get reinstalled automatically :P impossible
[08:40] <pRoV7x>  pentarex: did you install the software for that screen into the system?
[08:40] <stricjux> Perhaps somebody can help me with my networking settings on my Ubuntu 11.04 - Is there a way to run a "ip addr add xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yy dev eth0" every time "Network Config" graphical tool configures the ip address of an adapter?
[08:40] <pentarex> pRoV7x: It outputs this error even without monitor
[08:41] <ikonia> stricjux: you can add static routes in the gui
[08:41] <Danny_> Almoxarife, what am I supposed to do?
[08:41] <almoxarife> Danny_: change the setting where you saw 'address only' to 'auto dhcp'
[08:42] <Danny_> Ok, still can't connect
[08:42] <stricjux> ikonia, thanks
[08:42] <almoxarife> Danny_: that would be the setting above the one you have chosen.
[08:42] <pRoV7x>  pentarex: you see this error before loging in to your desktop
[08:42] <almoxarife> Danny_: you need to restart network manager
[08:43] <pRoV7x>  pentarex: or does it just come up suddenlly
[08:43] <jabbathehutt> hi
[08:43] <pentarex> pRoV7x: it is a server I dont have GUI, the server is working 2-3 days and then just freeze suddenly
[08:43] <the_p_> ikonia: i have to add to my explanations that it is not a plain ubuntu installation. this is a package that is preinstalled on the machine and might be modified.
[08:43] <jabbathehutt> still can't get ubuntu to startup in text only
[08:43] <fairuz> Hi, I got this error http://pastebin.com/d1LVNhq0 when trying to do sudo apt-get install mpg321 .. Any idea? Thanks
[08:43] <jabbathehutt> unetbootin wont let me
[08:43] <jabbathehutt> there's no grub
[08:43] <Danny_> Ok did that but I am still unable to connect
[08:44] <ikonia> the_p_: then ask the person who supports your custom version of ubuntu
[08:44] <jabbathehutt> its not custom
[08:44] <jabbathehutt> its 11.04 st8 from ubuntu website
[08:44] <almoxarife> Danny_: tell me in connection info what your primary dns is now
[08:44] <Danny_> But I'm getting a different error now, so it would seem that my dns is working
[08:44] <the_p_> th^^: the problem is that i log on with kde and after some time suddenly gdm wants to enter me the password when i do so i can continue my work but it is a bit annoying.
[08:45] <stricjux> ikonia, I've set a static ip (without any routes) in the "Routes" popup, but it doesn't seem to get configured properly.
[08:45] <ikonia> the_p_: ask someone who supports your custom ubuntu version - we don't
[08:45] <th^^> fairuz: W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid/partner Packages
[08:45] <the_p_> ikonia: unfortunately i do not get any support from this persion.
[08:45] <Danny_> <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:45] <th^^> fairuz: you have this source twice, remove that
[08:45] <ikonia> the_p_: that's not something we can help you with then
[08:45] <almoxarife> Danny_: cool, it has found a dns
[08:45] <the_p_> ikonia: ok thanks anyways.
[08:46] <jabbathehutt> the gui for ubuntu is just so clumsy
[08:46] <Danny_> Almoxarife: well thats good but I am still unable to connect
[08:46] <jabbathehutt> tacky
[08:46] <th^^> the_p_: you mean sometime after computer is idle? check screensaver preferences for locking up screen and requiring password
[08:46] <pRoV7x>  pentarex: i don't think i can suggest something for it, but honestly friend i don't think the screen you got has much to do with this error, keep asking your question here, im sure somebody knows what's going on.
[08:46] <almoxarife> Danny_: that is so, but the issue is not dns related now
[08:47] <almoxarife> Danny_: do you control the firewall?
[08:47] <fairuz> th^^: Ok thanks
[08:47] <Danny_> I can although I usually leave it off
[08:48] <pentarex> pRoV7x: thank you mate :) sorry for taking from your time
[08:48] <almoxarife> Danny_: I mean at the router/modem
[08:48] <Danny_> Oh yeah
[08:48] <almoxarife> Danny_: I am asking 'someone keeping you off the internet?'
[08:49] <fairuz> th^^: Now I got this error. http://pastebin.com/bMbjPi9D
[08:49] <pkkm> Is there a program that would measure time a script takes to run, like 'time', but many times, and average the result?
[08:49] <Danny_> No I control the router, do you think it could be an issue with my router settings?
[08:49] <th^^> fairuz: you have some unverified PPA repository there
[08:49] <th^^> fairuz: remove that too :)
[08:50] <almoxarife> Danny_: I don't want to confuse the issue, if other machines are getting out then l would assume its just related to that one machine/os
[08:50] <bullgard4> What programs fill the file  .xsession-errors?
[08:50] <Danny_> Ok
[08:50] <ikonia> bullgard4: Xorg
[08:50] <the_p_> th^^: ah that might be the case i will check this. thanks.
[08:51] <almoxarife> Danny_: you haven't dns cached have you? running a cache?
[08:51] <fairuz> th^^: OK thanks =)
[08:52] <Danny_> I don't think so, but I'm not entirely sure
[08:52] <almoxarife> Danny_: you would know if you did
[08:52] <Oer> pkkm, somethiong like this forumtread ? >> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1396709
[08:52] <Danny_> Oh ok
[08:53] <pRoV7x>  Danny_: have you tried to restart your router and give it aa minute to see if that would work.
[08:53] <almoxarife> Danny_: when you go to google.com on a browser what's it say?
[08:53] <Danny_> Yeah, I can try again though
[08:53] <Danny_> Webpage is not available
[08:54] <almoxarife> Danny_: there is more than one machine on this network?
[08:54] <Danny_> If I restart my router though I won't be able to contact for a couple of minutes
[08:54] <Danny_> Yeah, there is
[08:54] <almoxarife> Danny_: you are using one of them?
[08:54] <stricjux> Does anybody know how to configure Ubuntu not to use the "Network Config" GUI tool, but follow configuration written in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[08:55] <pkkm> Oer, thanks
[08:55] <Danny_> Well I'm on my phone if that counts, but the other machine is someone else's
[08:56] <almoxarife> Danny_: and that other person is not presently having issues getting out?
[08:56] <Danny_> I'm not sure but I doubt it considering I'm still able to connect to network through my phone
[08:57] <almoxarife> Danny_: try this, restart the machine with the issue
[08:57] <Danny_> Ok
[08:57] <myrmidette> is there a command that tells me what my current wm is?
[08:57] <pRoV7x>  Danny_: i really suggest that you unplug the cable from both sides then plug it again, in the right places if it wasn't.
[08:58] <almoxarife> Danny_: I am assuming the settings that were changes were saved
[08:59] <Danny_> Well it has been working before, so I'm sure the cable is in the right place and my computer recognizes it is connected to a network it just can't connect to the Internet
[09:00] <myrmidette> found it: wmctrl -m | grep Name | awk '{print $2}'
[09:00] <Danny_> Restarted the computer but still can't connect
[09:00] <pRoV7x>  Danny_: do you have access to the router
[09:00] <Danny_> Yes
[09:01] <pRoV7x>  Danny_: can you get into the configration page
[09:01] <almoxarife> Danny_: in connection info, what is the primary dns
[09:02] <Danny_> <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:03] <pRoV7x>  Danny_: what is your router? and what is the connection between your router and the ISP?
[09:03] <almoxarife> Danny_: can that machine create a wifi connection with the router?
[09:04] <Danny_> No it can't
[09:04] <almoxarife> Danny_: your phone did though?
[09:04] <Danny_> Yeah, but my machine doesn't have wifi capabilities
[09:05] <almoxarife> Danny_: ok
[09:05] <Danny_> Do you mean what brand is my router?
[09:05] <pRoV7x>  Danny_: yeah
[09:05] <glontu> hello
[09:05] <Danny_> Linksys, and it's connected directly to a modem
[09:06] <glontu> if i run a bash script with nohup is that kind of like a daemon ?
[09:07] <pRoV7x>  Danny_: can you reset it?
[09:07] <chenhao> hello
[09:07] <Danny_> Yeah
[09:07] <almoxarife> Danny_: I have seen this work, disconnect yourself from the network, delete the eth0 entry, reconnect the cable and hope for the best :)
[09:07] <bullgard4> ikonia: Your answer is wrong. On my Ubuntu 11.04 is no Xorg running but .xsession-errors is not empty.
[09:08] <ikonia> bullgard4: my answer is not wrong
[09:09] <bullgard4> ikonia: Reiterating is no help. You need to prove your statement.
[09:09] <pRoV7x>  Danny_: reset it, plug it to the modem, give it a couple minutes, then plug the other cables, give them a minute, and try to use the Interent
[09:09] <ikonia> bullgard4: no, I don't you need to read the documentation on it
[09:09] <bullgard4> ikonia: :-)
[09:10] <Danny__> Resetting the router didn't work
[09:10] <oCean> bullgard4: using  fuser ~/.xsession-errors  will show you a list of PID of programs using that file
[09:11] <pRoV7x>  Danny_: did you just do that?
[09:11] <Danny__> Yes
[09:11] <pRoV7x>  Danny_: you gotta give it few minutes
[09:11] <almoxarife> Danny__: I doubt the router is the issue, the router served up the dns primary, its working
[09:12] <jabbathehutt> how many writes with urandom would make data unrecoverable
[09:12] <Danny__> So what do you think could be the issue?
[09:12] <jabbathehutt> to even the NSA
[09:12] <jabbathehutt> like 10?
[09:13] <almoxarife> Danny__: not sure, you have an ip, and a working dns, I pinged it, its up
[09:13] <almoxarife> Danny__: you tried getting out again via browser?
[09:14] <jmgn> hello. I'm reading a book about Ubuntu and I just discovered ubuntu Irc. The book says that if I'll ask somebody about a problem I must read first the "frecuently asked questions". Where is this? Thanks a lot and sorry for my english
[09:14] <Danny__> Yes both of my browser are unable to connect
[09:15] <almoxarife> Danny__: you have something else that connects to the internet? something like music ????? anything not browser related?
[09:15] <manuva> jmgn: FAQ's about ubuntu or irc?
[09:15] <Danny__> Yeah that also doesn't work
[09:15] <jmgn> obout Ubuntu
[09:16] <almoxarife> Danny__: open a terminal and ping that dns
[09:16] <pRoV7x>  Danny_: maybe this way works, < almoxarife > Danny_: I have seen this work, disconnect yourself from the network, delete the eth0 entry, reconnect the cable and hope for the best :)
[09:17] <fairuz> Hi, I just installed Natty on an old laptop and right now I don't have wireless. It says device is not ready, firmware missing

[09:18] <fairuz> Any idea?
[09:18] <manuva> jmgn: I would assume the author means looking through https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=801404
[09:18] <almoxarife> Danny__: ping google.com
[09:18] <manuva> basically, it means searching before asking
[09:19] <oCean> !faq | jmgn
[09:19] <Danny__> That was successful too I think
[09:19] <almoxarife> Danny__: it was or it was not, you get a ping response?
[09:20] <Danny__> Yes
[09:20] <jmgn> Yes, I see.  Thanks
[09:20] <Danny__> I got a response
[09:20] <almoxarife> Danny__: in order to ping google.com dns has to be working
[09:21] <babu> hai
[09:21] <Danny__> Yes, well it is working but I am still unable to connect to the Internet
[09:21] <almoxarife> Danny__: you can connect, you can't browse, two different issues
[09:22] <bullgard4> oCean: An excellent idea. Thank you very much for your help. --  (I am still studying what the 17 files are that use ~/.xsession-errors .)
[09:22] <Danny__> Oh

[09:22] <sveinse> I need to update an ubuntu machine which is not connected to internet. I found some "OfflineUpdateSpec" dated 2006 on the Ubuntu Wiki. What is the preferred way of doing this in Ubuntu today?

[09:25] <bullgard4> sveinse: Get a current Ubuntu CD and then do an update/upgrade. But this will give you a basic Ubuntu without many extras.
[09:25] <almoxarife> refused?
[09:25] <Danny__> Yes
[09:26] <sveinse> bullgard4: I'd like to update a set of packages which is not included in the CD, sorry.

[09:28] <meomic> hey, someone also got problem with the multimedia buttons not working(think pad)? its ubuntu 11.04 x86-64bit || buttons which works are fn+f3 etc. (its smth with battery etc.) but the play , pause, previous / next tracks are not working - tho i have it set as shortcuts, acpi_listen dont give event when pressing those not working buttons, what can be the cause?
[09:29] <Danny__> Command was not found?
[09:29] <almoxarife> Danny__: did you try to install a firewall on the machine with the issue/?
[09:30] <Danny__> Yeah
[09:30] <almoxarife> yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[09:30] <sveinse> oCean: Sorry. I didn't mention, no graphics so APTonCD and synaptic is unfortunately is not an option (unless they can be run from cli).  -- This is a headless ARM Ubuntu installation
[09:30] <leagris> Hi. Besides reinstalling, are there any script on process allowing a switch from 32bit to 64bit architecture in Ubuntu?
[09:30] <almoxarife> Danny__: could have shared that
[09:30] <aureianimus> leagris, i'm pretty sure not
[09:30] <Danny__> Sorry
[09:31] <leagris> thanks aureianimus
[09:31] <oCean> sveinse: Not sure if it is more helpful, but there is a specific #ubuntu-arm channel here
[09:31] <almoxarife> Danny__: which?
[09:31] <MadGirl> it has been said that which is the best bluetooth adapter compatimble with backtrack?
[09:31] <oCean> MadGirl: backtrack is not supported here
[09:31] <MadGirl> OK, oCean
[09:31] <Danny__> Firestarter
[09:31] <almoxarife> Danny__: and is it now installed?
[09:32] <Danny__> Yeah, should I unistall it?
[09:32] <almoxarife> Danny__: unless you want to figure out what is wrong with firestarter, yes
[09:32] <sveinse> oCean: Thanks, but this is not related to the topics of #ubuntu-arm, it's more about using Ubuntu in general. I'll keep looking.
[09:33] <Danny__> Not really don't need it anyway
[09:33] <wildbat> Danny__: you should or you know how to set rules
[09:33] <Danny__> What do you mean?
[09:33] <wildbat> s
[09:33] <wildbat> Danny__: firewall rules
[09:33] <Danny__> No not really
[09:34] <almoxarife> Danny__: get back to virgin state, firestarter asks some questions on install as I remember, those questions need to be answered correctly
[09:34] <the_german> hi @all! i createtd a backup of a LVM volume with 600GB (only 40GB used) using LVM ...is there any way I can restort this to a 250GB HDD?
[09:34] <the_german> *using clonezilla
[09:35] <Danny__> How do I get back to a virgin state? Reinstall?
[09:35] <almoxarife> firestarter uses iptables does it not?
[09:35] <bhundven> anyone else use option globetrotter (0af0:6911) with ubuntu?
[09:35] <Danny__> Not sure
[09:35] <wildbat> almoxarife: yup ~
[09:36] <almoxarife> Danny__: no, first un-install, don't re-install, see if that fixes your issues
[09:36] <sgo11> in unity, how to put a launcher in the desktop, not in the left side bar? thanks.
[09:36] <wildbat> Danny__: just uninstall firestarter ~ you don't need it you are NATed shall be "safe"
[09:37] <morth> how do i add applications to my Start up?, not using the Startup application?
[09:37] <almoxarife> Danny__: you own the router you are on? or, you can make changes to it?
[09:38] <Danny__> Thank you guys so much for your help and patience! It works
[09:38] <almoxarife> Danny__: be nice, next time, spill the beans
[09:38] <Tjampman> hi all, how would I delete all the files i can find by "locate -i mythtv"
[09:38] <almoxarife> :)
[09:38] <Danny__> Haha yeah sorry it slipped my mind
[09:39] <morth> how do i set a prioirty for my application startups?
[09:39] <Danny__> Thanks again though
[09:40] <wildbat> morth: no priority ~ you can use "sleep" thou
[09:40] <almoxarife> wildbat: wget didn't work because he was trying to get to port 80?
[09:41] <wildbat> almoxarife: ya ~
[09:41] <wildbat> almoxarife: by default i think firestarter block all tcp connention
[09:41] <morth> wildbat: im using devilspie and eterm to make my terminal transparent so i can have it as a background, - how would i set a sleep command?
[09:41] <sgo11> is that possible to put a launcher to desktop instead of left side bar in unity? thanks.
[09:42] <wildbat> morth: sleep 10; <your command> , should delay it start by 10 sec
[09:43] <almoxarife> you couldn't pay me to do this, neverrrrrrrrrrrr
[09:43] <morth> wildbat would i go --sleep 10?
[09:43] <jabbathehutt> sgo11 yes run this:    dd if=/dev/zero/ of=/dev/sda
[09:43] <jabbathehutt> that will put launcher for you
[09:44] <bhundven> jabbathehutt: that was mature
[09:44] <wildbat> sgo11: don't run it
[09:44] <Tjampman> how would I be able to delete all the files i can find by "locate -i mythtv"
[09:44] <oCean> sgo11: please ignore that advise from jabbathehutt
[09:45] <morth> anyone know of its a --sleep 10 or sleep 10?
[09:45] <wildbat> morth: you have to change the command line of the startup apps
[09:45] <jurgentje> Hi... I just bought an SSD drive to put in my desktop. It works fine, but as soon as I put the nVidia card in dual head mode, it doesn't show the taskbar, can't right-click, key shortcuts don't work, etc... I do get an error message on the terminal windows (Ctrl-Alt-F1): ata1.00: exception Emask 0x40 SAct 0x0 SErr 0xx80800 action 0x6  ... anyone who could help me out?
[09:45] <sgo11> jabbathehutt, ..... why did you tell me that command? I don't think that is a good idea.
[09:45] <oCean> sgo11: you are correct. Just ignore it
[09:45] <sgo11> wildbat, oCean thanks.
[09:46] <meomic> hey my thinkpad multimedia buttons began working after i started "xev" in the console - after closed they are still working , what it is doing and what can i do to make it work after reboot system - w/o manually launching xev lol
[09:53] <bhundven> meomic: heh
[09:54] <zaksoldier> Hi
[09:56] <bhundven> Tjampman: are you sure you want to delete those files, and not just use apt to remove the files correctly? or are they data files?
[09:57] <william_> hello
[09:58] <wildbat> meomic: are you sure xev helpedXD
[09:58] <truepurple> How can I set all my windows url links to use a different icon then the text file one in ubuntu?
[09:58] <wildbat> meomic: if so you can put it in autostart ;p
[09:59] <peri_> Hello. I am trying to increase the size of my root partition using gparted but am having trouble. I enter the new value and then nothing happens. I am new to ubuntu so hope someone may be able ot point me ot a page.
[10:00] <wildbat> peri_: you need to boot Live CD to do so ~ can't change the current OS root partition.
[10:00] <meomic> wildbat: yes i did nothing more lol i was trying to debug why it is not working, thinkpad acpi is not giving event for some of my multimedia buttons - they are not working, so i started xev to debug keycode - i wanted to map those keys manually but it was already working lol
[10:00] <pksadiq> Won't Xserver be loaded  without connecting display cables?
[10:00] <peri_> Thanks wildbat. I did that. and got gparted up and running from the live CD
[10:01] <manuva> unmount /root first
[10:01] <manuva> perhaps?
[10:01] <peri_> Ah. that may be the problem. Guilty of being an idiot.
[10:01] <peri_> Now how do I unmount root?
[10:01] <wildbat> peri_: there is umount option in gparted
[10:02] <manuva> right click>unmount?
[10:02] <manuva> what is after the root partition?
[10:03] <peri_> Thanks wildbat. Much appreciated. Apologies for another question. I have a home folder wth 900 GB in it and only 20 gb used. Will g parted yet the additional space from there? Or do I have to point it to that?
[10:03] <peri_> Manuva - do you mean the order of the partitions?
[10:03] <bhundven> meomic: it would be better to figure out why. I haven't played with the thinkpad_acpi driver in a while, but you could add thinkpad_acpi to /etc/modules. like: thinkpad_acpi debug=<mask>
[10:03] <manuva> peri_:yes
[10:04] <bhundven> you can find the masks here:
[10:04] <bhundven> http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c;h=77f6e707a2a9a43d4c08777f1a97e42dd49a11a0;hb=HEAD#l228
[10:04] <peri_> There is a terminal command to use to list them. Can you tell me what it is?
[10:04] <bhundven> my thinkpad is dead though :(
[10:04] <wildbat> peri_: nope ~ you have to point it to resize
[10:04] <bhundven> I took it apart so many times that the plastic became brittle
[10:04] <truepurple> How can I set all my windows url links to use a different icon then the text file one?
[10:05]  * bhundven morns his x61t :...(
[10:05] <peri_> Thanks wildbat. I worked out how to identify the Root - because it is just about full. How do I tell it to take the space from the home partition?
[10:05] <william_> So I have a problem with connecting to the database
[10:06] <william_> I've already had Magento installed, and tried upgrading to 1.5 which failed over and over, so now I'm moving my backup 1.4 files back onto the server.
[10:06] <wildbat> peri_: resize the home then resize the root/
[10:06] <meomic> bhundven: gpu died? =p // acpi_listen still dont give event to those buttons - play/stop/previous/next but they are working - my music play reacts to them - so i dunno what is giving the event
[10:06] <william_> All is good, but I get the SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user
[10:07] <bhundven> meomic: they probably are't acpi keys, they might be keyboard events
[10:07] <william_> just wondering if anybody else has run into this issue before
[10:07] <oCean> william_: please explain what's the ubuntu issue here, giving the details (single line)
[10:07] <bhundven> meomic: interesting that they don't work until you run xev though...
[10:07] <william_> lol
[10:07] <peri_> Ah. Yes. I can shrink the home. OK. Sorry for all the questions wildbat and Manuva. Another question. There are different type of partitions  - does that matter?
[10:07] <william_> sorry i posted in the wrong room
[10:07] <william_> :)
[10:07] <oCean> william_: :)
[10:07] <oCean> happens
[10:07] <bhundven> lol
[10:08] <manuva> you mean the logical/extended/primary one?
[10:08] <peri_> Manuva - yes. That is it.
[10:08] <bhundven> meomic: what model?
[10:09] <meomic> bhundven: r61 (8918-dfg)
[10:09] <manuva> peri_ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition
[10:09] <peri_> Manuva - FAB!! many thanks.
[10:09] <manuva> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition/PartitioningBasics this has the explanation
[10:09] <manuva> no worries peri_ xD
[10:10] <peri_> Manuva, wildbat. Thanks for your patience and help. Much appreciated.
[10:10] <manuva> no worries bro
[10:10] <wildbat> you are welcome

[10:31] <sergio_> how can I convert a txt file to 80 columns?
[10:33] <movan2011> LPrelle: Try ls | grep -v bla

[10:35] <movan2011> what bhundven says.  missed the search as start character
[10:35] <bhundven> movan2011: and you missed that ls might not put the file name at the beginning of the line
[10:35] <bhundven> -1 lists one file per line

[10:45] <jabbathehutt> i'll boot from liveCD to do the install
[10:45] <jabbathehutt> and formatting
[10:46] <jabbathehutt> i tried once after default format of usb and got 'no parition table on device' error

[10:48] <jabbathehutt> damnsogood yes i have 2 usb sticks
[10:48] <jabbathehutt> one is ready for the install, the other is running it now live
[10:48] <DamnSoGooD> then run the install ubuntu
[10:48] <bhundven> sunit: read $directory
[10:48] <bhundven> mkdir $directory
[10:48] <jabbathehutt> i tried but it seems to be unhappy with the usb stick, saying something about partiion table
[10:48] <DamnSoGooD> in the partition prompt you will then choose here to install it
[10:49] <bhundven> er
[10:49] <jabbathehutt> ok
[10:49] <bhundven> read -p "what directory> " $directory
[10:49] <jabbathehutt> so i dont need to do any special formatting beforehand
[10:49] <jabbathehutt> its fat32 right now
[10:49] <bhundven> mkdir $directory

[10:52] <bhundven> mkdir $directory
[10:52] <jabbathehutt> careful, that could be considered an 'unhelpful' joke ;)
[10:52] <jabbathehutt> against the guidelines
[10:52] <bhundven> sunit: that will read in what is typed after the prompt (specified with -p "prompt") in the variable directory
[10:53] <bhundven> then make the directory with mkdir

[10:57] <bhundven> sunit: so, I mean, idk why you'd want to do it that way.
[10:57] <kate_r> hi
[10:57] <bhundven> the scripts only argument is the pdf file, right?
[10:57] <sunit> yes
[10:58] <bhundven> so, why not just put the images in a directory with the same name as the pdf with out the '.pdf' extension?
[10:58] <kate_r> i'm in the process of reinstalling ubuntu on my drive, which already has a /home partition. i'm in "allocate drive space" now. what do i need to choose for "Use as"? Ext3, ext4? if i choose ext4 but the underlying FS isn't ext4, will it be formatted?
[10:59] <bhundven> kate_r: for the format, you should have the option of "do not format"
[10:59] <kate_r> bhundven, sure. but what if the FS i choose now doesn't match the underlying FS?
[11:00] <kate_r> e.g., i choose ext4 but it's actually ext3?
[11:00] <bhundven> you can fix it later by editing /etc/fstab
[11:00] <bhundven> just make sure you choose do not format
[11:01] <bhundven> kate_r: also, if you choose ext4 and it is ext3, the ext4 mount option will still mount ext3
[11:01] <kate_r> i see
[11:01] <kate_r> thanks
[11:01] <bhundven> ext4 will also mount ext2
[11:01] <bhundven> but not the other way around
[11:02] <bhundven> well, I think you can mount ext3 as ext2, but you won't get journalling
[11:02] <gry> MC8: I see.

[11:24] <SwedeMike> Diverdude: sudo -i
[11:26] <aureianimus> sudo su is kindof not-meant-to-be-used in ubuntu right, why is that?
[11:26] <gisli-w> SwedeMike: what's the difference between sudo su and sudo -i except that sudo su stays in the current directory but sudo -i makes you root in ~ ?
[11:26] <truepurple> Can anyone help me get a icon associated with a file type?
[11:27] <gisli-w> aureianimus: i always use sudo su...old habit I guess and I've never had a problem with it
[11:27] <rashming> anybody who can help in ubuntu server or uec?
[11:27] <SwedeMike> gisli-w: guess it depends what you want to do. I use sudo -i from old habit as well.
[11:27] <sgo11> I always use sudo as well. I don't want to type passwords all the time.
[11:27] <dubidu> will memcached cache all my django databases realtime without writing any code?
[11:28] <thevaliantx> why does my system not let me (user 'thevaliantx') use sudo?  it says that the user is not in the sudoers file, but when i look at that file it says that users of group 'admin' (which i'm a part of) may have root privileges
[11:28] <centerpoint> hello , I test mysql's load_file("/test") :select load_file("/test"); in debian & rhel, it returns content of file "test" ,but in ubuntu it return NULL , please help

[11:33] <aravel> hi, installing kubuntu 11.04, where's the option to install as a dual boot?
[11:33] <aravel> it only gives me delete everything or sort it out myself
[11:33] <TheRandom> Hi, I'm trying to get apache2 to write files (via PHP) to a Windows SMB, I've mounted the directory using cifs but I can't then give www-data write permissions?
[11:33] <aravel> neither seems to have a shrink/resize partition option
[11:34] <TheRandom> aravel, I'm not sure you can resize partitions within the kubuntu installer, true gparted first and install to the new blank partition?
[11:34] <ugly_duck> whats the best method in bash to cat a file and then only select words from the file that are between 8 and 64 in length?
[11:35] <TheRandom> aravel, GRUB will then manage the dual booting iirc.
[11:35] <aravel> TheRandom: doesn't seem to have gparted
[11:35] <TheRandom> aravel, the installer wont, it's a seperate live CD.
[11:35] <TheRandom> aravel, are you dual booting with Win7 perchance?
[11:35] <dubidu> will memcached cache all my django database realtime without writing any code?
[11:35] <xharx> on my machine to see the bootloader it takes about ten seconds to see the boot menu. is that normal?
[11:36] <gisli-w> any of you guys on the #linux channel? If so, why can't I send messages there?
[11:36] <aravel> TheRandom: yeah
[11:36] <szal> gisli-w: most probably because your nick isn't registered
[11:36] <TheRandom> aravel, you can resize partitions within Win7 using the Disc Manager, make yourself an install partition there, note what it is and then install to it in kubuntu
[11:36] <sveinse> gisli-w: I thought is was ##linux thou
[11:36] <TheRandom> Can anyone help me with SMB -- Ubuntu file permissions?
[11:37] <TheRandom> sveinse, it usually redirects you.

[11:37] <bullgard4> What is the function of the "nautilus-gdu extension"?
[11:37] <TheRandom> Gryllida, I did.
[11:37] <TheRandom> Hi, I'm trying to get apache2 to write files (via PHP) to a Windows SMB, I've mounted the directory using cifs but I can't then give www-data write permissions?
[11:37] <gisli-w> szal: how do I register it? sveinse: yeah sorry it's ##linux
[11:37] <aravel> TheRandom: ah ok I'll try that, thanks
[11:37] <Gryllida> Ah I see.
[11:37] <TheRandom> gisli-w, read the topic of ##linux
[11:38] <szal> !register | gisli-w
[11:38] <TheRandom> Gryllida, any insight?

[11:40] <kannan> i have a red icon in my status bar saying "problem occured while checking for updates" i don't know what it is.. update-manager is not starting and also the software center.. please help me resolve this problem
[11:40] <TheRandom> kannan, you havent got a terminal open with apt-get running have you?
[11:42] <truepurple> Can anyone help me get a icon associated with a file type?
[11:42] <kannan> TheRandom, apt-get update returned duplicate sources were present in /etc/apt/sources.list .. i removed them and tried to update.. again now apt-get fails to update
[11:42] <centerpoint> hello , I test mysql's function load_file() :select load_file("/test"); in debian & rhel, it returns content of file "test" ,but in ubuntu it return NULL , please help

[11:42] <Siegel-> hi, is this the place to ask questions about problems with ubuntu?
[11:42] <Gryllida> truepurple, Click on it in 'basic' tab of file properties.
[11:43] <manuva> does the /boot partition need to be  primary partition?
[11:43] <susundberg> No
[11:43] <TheRandom> kannan, close your terminal windows and try again. Otherwise I'm afraid it's to complicated for me.
[11:43] <Siegel-> ok
[11:43] <Gryllida> dubidu, What is your native language?
[11:43] <truepurple> Gryllida: and?
[11:43] <MadGirl> and is there any particular order to restoring these?
[11:43] <Gryllida> truepurple, I think you can select new icon, it may go for all files of this type.
[11:43] <manuva> susundberg: cheers
[11:44] <kannan> TheRandom, even after a system restart, the problem persists
[11:44] <truepurple> Gryllida: No, just that one
[11:44] <TheRandom> kannan, I'm afraid I don't know then, hopefully someone else can help you.
[11:44] <AFD> how do I open ports on an ubuntu (10.0.4) server via ssh?
[11:45] <Gryllida> truepurple: Maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=302549 works for you?
[11:45] <TheRandom> AFD, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-security-4/how-to-open-ports-in-ubuntu-451282/
[11:45] <Gryllida> AFD: check 'sudo iptables --L' (I don't think ports are closed by default)
[11:45] <kannan> TheRandom, thatnk you for your interest
[11:45] <TheRandom> kannan, no worries, just sorry I couldn't help.
[11:46] <susundberg> manuva: indeed! Last day to work before 3w holiday! Cheers! \o/
[11:46] <manuva> xD
[11:46] <AFD> Gryllida: there seems to be an empty table
[11:46] <AFD> INPUT / FORWARD / OUTPUT - all blank
[11:46] <Gryllida> AFD, maybe they're not closed then. Check what TheRandom said.
[11:47] <AFD> ok
[11:47] <TheRandom> AFD, Ubuntu doesn't 'close' ports. When something listens, THEN they are termed to be open
[11:47] <TheRandom> But not listening does not imply closed.
[11:47] <bkcd> aaa
[11:47] <Gryllida> bkcd: Hi.
[11:47] <AFD> TheRandom: I think I understand
[11:48] <TheRandom> Now can someone help me :P
[11:48] <CoolBurn> Hello all! Little question:  There is some known issue with Ubuntu Nasty and hard disks? I've installed for 2 months and every week I've bad sectors and boot problems.
[11:48] <TheRandom> CoolBurn, not as far as I'm aware?
[11:48] <gisli-w> you were supposed to install Ubuntu Natty not Ubuntu Nasy...maybe that's the problem...
[11:49] <gisli-w> *Nasty
[11:49] <CoolBurn> xD
[11:49] <Gryllida> gisli-w: It's 'natty'. :)
[11:49] <CoolBurn> mistake XD
[11:49] <CoolBurn> sorry
[11:49] <bkcd> I don't like Nasty
[11:49] <Gryllida> No worries, CoolBurn.
[11:49] <kannan> AFD, you can try firestarter.. that should be easy.. find them in repositories
[11:49] <CoolBurn> OK! Maybe it's a technical hard disk issue...
[11:49] <gisli-w> No prob CoolBurn. How old is your hard drive?
[11:50] <TheRandom> CoolBurn, likely unfortunately try some hardware health checker.
[11:50] <CoolBurn> Mhmhm... About 4 years
[11:50] <gisli-w> that's most likely your answer right there
[11:50] <CoolBurn> Yep. I did! And no problems detected...
[11:51] <TheRandom> CoolBurn, strange.
[11:51] <devral> whenever i try to execute -screen-, it segfaults - how do i troubleshoot/fix?
[11:51] <TheRandom> Also gisli-w, false data, if a hard drives lasts more than one year statistically it's more likely to survive than one younger than a year.
[11:51] <stephanmg> devral: can you check your logs please?
[11:52] <pentarex> hey guys can anyone help me with this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1794562
[11:52] <devral> stephanmg: which ones? strace indicates SIGSEGV, beyond that i dont know what to check
[11:52] <SwedeMike> devral: "strace screen" shows you what function it tries to execute before it segfaults, might give you a hint.
[11:52] <TheRandom> gisli-w, look up google's studies on this as they get through a metric shit tonne of hd's.
[11:52] <CoolBurn> Ok. Thanks anyway guys. I think i will replace HD
[11:52] <CoolBurn> Bye! ^_^
[11:53] <devral> SwedeMike: http://pastebin.com/mPb0d5aS
[11:53] <gisli-w> TheRandom: hehe allright. I just went for the easy and most likely answer.
[11:53] <TheRandom> Hi, I'm trying to get apache2 to write files (via PHP) to a Windows SMB, I've mounted the directory using cifs but I can't then give www-data write permissions?
[11:53] <lousygarua> ok solved my vim/clipboard problem. needed to install vim-gnome (or vim-gtk) as suggested on the #vim channel
[11:54] <SwedeMike> devral: what platform is this, amd64 ?
[11:55] <devral> SwedeMike: yes, i am using ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS x64
[11:56] <blargg> I installed 10.04 and have kept it up-to-date. Does this mean it should now be at 10.04.2, or do I have to download the 10.04.2 CD and run that?
[11:57] <SwedeMike> devral: oki, I don't have a clue either, I'd log a bug on lanchpad to see if someone there can figure it out. I am using screen on 10.04 LTS amd64 just fine, though.
[11:57] <TheRandom> blargg, you should be able to update all the way through.
[11:57] <Stava> How can I add thunderbird 5 to the mail indicator?
[11:57] <SwedeMike> blargg: if you keep it dist-upgraded it should be fully updated.
[11:57] <blargg> I don't know how to verify that it's 10.04.2
[11:58] <devral> blargg: lsb_release -a in a terminal
[11:58] <devral> SwedeMike: I fsck'd it a while back to fix the filesystem, and had to restore a bunch of files from backups - think screen is reading a corrupted file i still need to replace?
[11:58] <SwedeMike> blargg: don't worry about it, the .2 is just that the installer image has been updated with new packages, as soon as you dist-upgrade you always get latest of everything.
[11:59] <blargg> devral, I take it the release doesn't show the .2? I get: Description: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS, Release: 10.04
[11:59] <SwedeMike> devral: that might definitely be a cause, if you have problems with libraries etc then it might cause these problems.
[11:59] <blargg> SwedeMike, ok, that makes sense. thanks.
[12:00] <devral> SwedeMike: I already did an aptitude remove --purge screen, and an apt-get install --reinstall screen before that -- shouldn't that have fetched everything necessary?
[12:00] <TheRandom> Hi, I'm trying to get apache2 to write files (via PHP) to a Windows SMB, I've mounted the directory using cifs but I can't then give www-data write permissions
[12:01] <SwedeMike> devral: you might have defective dynamic libraries that are causing this as well, I don't know.
[12:05] <cbx33> hey guys
[12:06] <enjay1> hello
[12:06] <cbx33> I just recompiled a custom kernel
[12:06] <enjay1> wt u mean
[12:06] <cbx33> using the make-kpkg command
[12:06] <cbx33> if i install it - I won't lose my current kernel will i?
[12:06] <enjay1> yes
[12:06] <cbx33> how can i prevent that?
[12:08] <xgt001> hello!! laptop mode tools v/s pm-utils which is better at powersaving?
[12:08] <llutz> cbx33: you won't if you custom kernel has a different version than your current one
[12:09] <cbx33> ok - like if i added a -tweak to the name?
[12:09] <cbx33> linux-image-<IP_ADDRESS>-tweak_<IP_ADDRESS>-tweak-10.00.Custom_i386.deb
[12:09] <cbx33> for example
[12:10] <llutz> cbx33: sounds more than different compared to standard kernel :)
[12:10] <cbx33> hehehe
[12:10] <cbx33> i just literally downloaded the source package and "made" it
[12:12] <cbx33> i'll give it a go
[12:12] <cbx33> does it add entries to grub automatically?
[12:15] <xgt001> my laptop's fan turns on randomly , what may be the issue?
[12:16] <blargg> xgt001, watch CPU usage to be sure it's not coming on due to processes running in the background
[12:16] <truepurple> Can anyone help me get a icon associated with a file type?
[12:16] <xgt001> blargg: ok if i find the cpu usage high how to nail down the culprit process?
[12:17] <llutz> cbx33: sudo update-grub
[12:17] <blargg> xgt001, System->Administration->System Monitor, or the top command
[12:17] <dr_willi1> truepurple: right click on one of the files. propeeties.. icon at top left is button ti change icon.  i think
[12:18] <truepurple> only for that specific file
[12:18] <truepurple> Not for all files of that type
[12:18] <Gryllida> truepurple: Maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=302549 works for you?
[12:18] <Gryllida> truepurple: or you want to change icon for just 1 file?
[12:18] <dr_willi1> not in gnome so i csnt test it
[12:18] <blargg> xgt001, is this happening over a long period when you don't appear to have anything running otherwise, the fan randomly getting faster and slower?
[12:19] <truepurple> I want to change it for all files of that type
[12:19] <Gryllida> truepurple: Please see the link.
[12:20] <xgt001> blargg: i am running a mint 11 install, i installed <IP_ADDRESS> kernel additionally, and running on it, for few days perfectly smooth operation, but now it turns on randomly
[12:20] <truepurple> I did, but I couldn't make much sense of it Gryllida
[12:20] <gianni> ciao
[12:20] <xgt001> blargg: i only browse in google chrome with some 10-15 tabs open , and use pidgin , and terminal thats all
[12:21] <aapzak> guys, I think I'm running into a bug but cannot find similar stories ... when using Ubu on laptop + extra screen my LVDS1 will dim after a while and never undims again. Anyone here knows this bug?
[12:21] <aapzak> this happens in both gnome and kde but does not happen when I use a different window manager
[12:22] <blargg> xgt001, anyway, the idea is to see whether the fan is legitimately coming on due to something using the CPU a lot at random times. You might also see whether the CPU temperature is rising before the fan comes on, and whether the fan turns off once it falls.
[12:23] <xgt001> blargg: should i use laptop-mode-tools or pm-utils?
[12:24] <blargg> xgt001, no idea
[12:25] <veQ> exit

[12:27] <myrmidette> ty oCean
[12:27] <sveinse> Is there a function to dump a list of all packages installed *and* their respective package versions? dpkg -l has a tendency to cut away the full package name and version
[12:29] <Gryllida> truepurple: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5974317&postcount=8 is another way to do that.

[12:32] <dr_willi1> anuvrat_:  does gdm screen word?
[12:32] <sveinse> oCean: Thanks
[12:32] <dr_willi1> work
[12:32] <anuvrat_> dr_willi1, well, nothing is displayed on the screen so I can't tell
[12:33] <oCean> sveinse: with the --showformat option you can set some output formatting options.
[12:33] <anuvrat_> dr_willi1, its blank except a non responsive mouse pointer
[12:33] <dr_willi1> thats nit blank thwn :)
[12:33] <anuvrat_> dr_willi1, service gdm status returns running
[12:34] <anuvrat_> dr_willi1, if thats what you meant
[12:34] <dr_willi1> so the login screen alsi fails to work?
[12:34] <anuvrat_> dr_willi1, btw .. the system is presently booted using a live CD
[12:34] <anuvrat_> dr_willi1, and it is running fine in the live environment
[12:35] <anuvrat_> dr_willi1, I am accessing the live environment using ssh
[12:35] <dr_willi1> video chipset is what?
[12:35] <anuvrat_> dr_willi1, VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[12:36] <anuvrat_> is what is returned by lspci
[12:37] <dr_willi1> as a test it wiuld be good to know if gdm works. if a newly made user works. and if booting to text mode and the vommand 'startx' works.or not
[12:37] <Gryllida> truepurple: sudo apt-get install assogiate ; Applications > System Tools > File Types Editor ; pick icon you want
[12:38] <dr_willi1> intel drivers are not too problematic nirmally
[12:38] <anuvrat_> dr_willi1, well, I can't tell that without rebooting the live environment .. and it has taken my father approx half an hour to boot the live environemnt and connect it to internet and install ssh on it
[12:38] <xgt0011> does chrome eat up more power than firefox?
[12:38] <truepurple> Gryllida:  I put in insudo apt-get install assogiate into a terminal, then look in that window path?
[12:39] <ikonia> xgt0011: have a look for yourself
[12:39] <dr_willi1> xgt0011:  i would not think so
[12:39] <anuvrat_> dr_willi1, can't I just reinstall what ever seems to be corrupted?
[12:39] <ikonia> xgt0011: do you mean power as in "resources" or power as in battery power
[12:39] <anuvrat_> dr_willi1, most likely the problem was caused by an interrupted upgrade to natty
[12:39] <anuvrat_> dr_willi1, it was running meerkat previously
[12:40] <dr_willi1> anuvrat_:  intel driver are nirmslly inclufed. you vould try. but it may be a user config issue
[12:40] <xgt0011> ikonia, battery power, dr_willi1 becaues there was a bug filed in code.google.com about more wakeups caused by chrome
[12:40] <anuvrat_> dr_willi1, ??
[12:40] <dr_willi1> broken upgrade   csn be very very bad
[12:40] <anuvrat_> dr_willi1, nirmslly?
[12:40] <ikonia> xgt0011: these aren't really ubuntu issues you're asking
[12:41] <xgt0011> ikonia: it was specific to Linux version
[12:41] <dr_willi1> reinstsll intel drivers if you want
[12:41] <ikonia> xgt0011: this is "ubuntu" support, not linux applications
[12:41] <anuvrat_> dr_willi1, resetting everything would be simple compared to dictating instructions to my father on phone ;)
[12:41] <Gryllida> truepurple: yes
[12:41] <dr_willi1> interupting an upgrade in not good.
[12:42] <Gryllida> truepurple: Try to find `Applications > System Tools > File Types Editor` in menu after assogiate installation succeeds.
[12:42] <xgt0011> ikonia: apologies
[12:42] <dr_willi1> anuvrat_:  thats why i asked if it worked for a newly made user
[12:42] <anuvrat_> dr_willi1, there was some confusion and the system was restarted in the middle of an upgrade .. so I presume that is what has caused the error
[12:43] <anuvrat_> dr_willi1, how will I create a new user on it? I am accessing a live environment via ssh :(
[12:43] <stephanmg> can i safely set my user MANPATH to MANPATH:$MANPATH:/some/path? if i do this `manpath` gives me a warning: manpath: warning: $MANPATH set, prepending /etc/manpath.config
[12:43] <dr_willi1> a reinstall may be the only real fix
[12:43] <dr_willi1> chroot in. adduser command. can do it
[12:44] <xgt0011> my touchpad has got a disable button at the corner (HP g42) which works only in Windows, in Ubuntu double tapping doesnt work , how to fix it?
[12:44] <xgt0011> i mean it functions via double tapping it
[12:44] <dr_willi1> install the sshservice so you can ssh into it while its running is a good idea also

[13:03] <blinkiz> Hello. I use pacemaker/corosync to control a drbd+mysql+other stuff. I have problem controlling mysql because it has been converted to a upstart script. Corosync is using /etc/init.d/mysql to start, status and stop mysql. It works but "status" does not. "status" does not have the exit code of "3" when mysql is not running. What can I do about this?
[13:03] <ikonia> blinkiz: the people who make the package will need to make their software compatible with upstart
[13:05] <corecode> any hint with the autorun?
[13:05] <ikonia> corecode: autorun ?

[13:08] <AFD> I get "Unknown keyword in configuration file: gfxboot

[13:09] <rhin0> afd have you checked the integrity of the live usb copy
[13:09] <rhin0> its on the menu when you boot it up
[13:09] <Guest83539> danke für deine hilfe
[13:09] <ikonia> it's a known problem
[13:09] <ikonia> it's because you are using vesaa menu and trying to use an image file
[13:10] <aktor> my ubuntu 11.04 keeps on logging into the new unity mode despite the fact that i have changed the login mode ubuntu classic, any ideas ?
[13:10] <AFD> rhin0: ikonia: can you explain a little? Am I to use the usb-creator for the integrity check? and the iso came from Ubuntu - I imagine it is good
[13:11] <rhin0> i think ikonia knows better than me AFD
[13:11] <AFD> ikonia: could you explain that for a n00b please
[13:11] <Ether_Man> Hey. Im trying to set up Openchange using the official amazon EC2 AMI. AMI setup and install openchangeserver as well as openchangeclient together with all their deps. So far so good. However when trying to run Samba4 provisioning, it fails with the error "Unable to find setup directory". Google seems to have very little information regarding this but it's apparantly sambas own setup dir it cant find, but no solutions that I can find.
[13:11] <Ether_Man> Anyone have any idea how to find why it fails and/or know what Im doing wrong? :/
[13:11] <rhin0> forget the integrity check ikonia says its something else a known issue afd
[13:12] <AFD> ikonia: so am I able to run the 10.04 server from a LiveUSB or is it impossible?
[13:12] <ikonia> AFD: should be fine as far as I'm aware, I've not done it personally
[13:13] <AFD> ikonia: I just use a different USB creator right?
[13:13] <ikonia> AFD: certainly worth a try
[13:14] <AFD> ikonia: ok, thanks for the pointers ;)
[13:14] <ikonia> welcome
[13:16] <antilect> Best theme for Ubuntu?
[13:16] <antilect> Suggestions and links anyone? :)
[13:17] <xgt0011> antilect: u could try ultimateediton themes
[13:17] <antilect> xgt0011,  sounds interesting!
[13:17] <antilect> googling :)
[13:17] <xgt0011> antilect: its huge though
[13:18] <xgt0011> antilect: something like 100 mb
[13:18] <antilect> Haha.
[13:18] <ikonia> antilect: I'd advise against using anything from that distribution
[13:18] <antilect> Smaller than xbox, I'd say :D
[13:18] <bil21al> i want to install Canon ip1800 printer  drivers from ubuntu 11.10  from where i can get it??
[13:19] <ikonia> antilect: themes are available on gnome-look.org, or packaged themes are inthe ubuntu repo
[13:19] <lipeng> 44
[13:19] <antilect> Since I'm a noob, I find most themes to be a bit rough or incomplete in gnone-look.org :) Often they just change the windowborders and icons etc :)
[13:19] <antilect> on gnome-look.org, what "tab" should I browse under for complete theme transformations? :)
[13:20] <ikonia> antilect: that's a fair point, complete themes in a nice ubuntu package are rare on gnome-look
[13:20] <antilect> Mm.
[13:20] <antilect> I usually find that the panel on top of the screen
[13:20] <ikonia> antilect: there are themes already in the ubuntu repos though, if you open your package manager and search for "theme"
[13:20] <corecode> ikonia: autorun.  something always starts shotwell when i insert a medium with photos on it
[13:20] <antilect> ikonia, checking it out right now :)
[13:21] <loupai> will be thunderbird 5 avalaible in natty official repo?
[13:21] <loupai> like ff 5?
[13:22] <ikonia> don't know
[13:22] <q0_0p> which is better natty or evolution
[13:22] <Hybryd> !a
[13:22] <xgt0011> antilect: ultimate edition themes are like a huge bundle of 100 themes
[13:23] <xgt0011> antilect: u may or may not like it
[13:23] <antilect> I will definitely try it :)
[13:23] <ikonia> antilect: they are also from a dangerous repo, I would VERY strongly advise against using anything from ultimate edition
[13:23] <ikonia> q0_0p: one is a linux distribution, one is an email client - totally different things
[13:23] <peter_felching> Hi all. Just installed i3 wm. Nice thing, but I have a problem with earphones - they don't work now. Any idea how to fix it?
[13:23] <ikonia> q0_0p: like asking what's better a laptop or a microwave
[13:23] <Gryllida> q0_0p: it's an ubuntu version and an im client, like comparing apples & oranges.
[13:24] <q0_0p> i thought thunderbird was an email client
[13:24] <Gryllida> yes it is
[13:24] <ikonia> q0_0p: you said natty and evolution
[13:24] <q0_0p> evolution is also an email client
[13:24] <antilect> Are there any good pidgin themes btw?
[13:24] <q0_0p> oh
[13:24] <ikonia> q0_0p: `yes, you asked for "natty or evolution"
[13:24] <q0_0p> sorry
[13:24] <antilect> To skin it differently? :)
[13:24] <Gryllida> Depends on why you need a client, see !best
[13:24] <q0_0p> whats the differene between evolution and thunderbird
[13:24] <q0_0p> sorry
[13:24] <antilect> I find it a bit bloated atm :)
[13:24] <antilect> Still awesome though.
[13:25] <bazhang> q0_0p, thats hardly an ubuntu question
[13:25] <anuvrat_> one question : is it possible to install natty from lucid's live CD?
[13:25] <q0_0p> just wanted an opinion
[13:25] <bazhang> anuvrat_, no
[13:25] <skilz> hey whats the command to connect wlan0 to my wifi network NETGEAR? there is no password and I want to use dhcp and the network is not hidden...
[13:25] <bazhang> q0_0p, plenty of those in #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:25] <xgt0011> ikonia: hey whats the security concern with ultimate edition?
[13:25] <anuvrat_> bazhang, what I meant was to download the required files nad run the installer ?
[13:26] <ikonia> xgt0011: I didn't say there was a security concern
[13:26] <bazhang> anuvrat_, no
[13:26] <anuvrat_> bazhang, you know . copy the filesystem to the harddrive
[13:26] <xgt0011> ikonia: then?
[13:26] <ikonia> xgt0011: then what ?
[13:26] <Gryllida> q0_0p: http://askubuntu.com/questions/34659/thunderbird-or-evolution
[13:26] <xgt0011> ikonia: then whats the issue with the repos?
[13:27] <ikonia> xgt0011: they are unsupported
[13:28] <tharangaraju> anybody knows irc channel discuss about c++ programming ??
[13:28] <Gryllida> tharangaraju: ##C++
[13:29] <tharangaraju> Gryllida : yep
[13:29] <skilz> hey whats the command to connect wlan0 to my wifi network  NETGEAR? there is no password and I want to use dhcp and  the network is not hidden...

[13:30] <kristian-aalborg> http://edtake.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/ubuntu-lucid-lynx-wireless-keep-dropping/
[13:30] <kristian-aalborg> hi
[13:31] <kristian-aalborg> can someone tell me if this has been fixed, I experienced it a few times with 10.04 installs
[13:31] <kristian-aalborg> it's *crucial*
[13:31] <bazhang> kristian-aalborg, what chipset
[13:31] <antilect> Is GnoMenu supported in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty? :O
[13:31] <antilect> I run classic from the loginscreen.
[13:31]  * KM0201 has never had a dropping wireless problem
[13:32] <kristian-aalborg> hi bazhang
[13:32] <bazhang> kristian-aalborg, what chipset
[13:32] <antilect> I wish to change this clunky old theme, but I didn't find any instructions other than this on gnome-look    http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/HOW+TO+INSTALL+%22GNOMENU%22?content=108571
[13:32] <kristian-aalborg> I tried this on two (or three) installs, different chips
[13:32] <bazhang> kristian-aalborg, thats way too broad a question. different chipsets have different quality
[13:32] <kristian-aalborg> wifi dies and must be restarted with sudo /etc/networking restart
[13:33] <qin> kristian-aalborg: Did you try to chnage iwconfig power settings?
[13:33] <kristian-aalborg> bazhang, no, this was clearly an issue with something deep in the OS, not chipset quality
[13:33] <bazhang> kristian-aalborg, whats the bug number
[13:34] <bazhang> kristian-aalborg, link to said bug "deep in the OS"
[13:34] <KM0201> kristian-aalborg: if you're sure it's an ubuntu problem, then just tell us the chipset so we can verify it.
[13:35] <oCean> kristian-aalborg: if it was not hardware-specific, then everyone would have those issues
[13:35]  * KM0201 agrees with oCean
[13:35] <oCean> kristian-aalborg: have you considered upgrading your wireless router's firmware? That helped making my connection a *lot* more stable
[13:36] <dr_Willis> new routers are getting cheap. with mire and more features also
[13:36] <kristian-aalborg> bazhang, this has happend on previous installs on differnt boxen
[13:37] <bazhang> kristian-aalborg, so no actual bug link?
[13:37] <dr_Willis> wireless issues do exist.. test with a live cd. perhaps.
[13:37] <hetii> Hello :0
[13:37] <bazhang> kristian-aalborg, indeed it sounds like your router hardware issue and not ubuntu's tcp/ip issues
[13:38] <kristian-aalborg> then why does it work with debian?
[13:38] <dr_Willis> ive had very few wireless issues in the last 3 releases
[13:38] <bazhang> kristian-aalborg, give some actual chipsets. please.
[13:39] <Gryllida> hetii: Hi.
[13:39] <hetii> Q: is it possible by upstart to display some message that will come from post-start script ?
[13:40] <delinquentme> muh systems can has instabilities ... its a brand new install of 10.04 .. on a brand new HD .. and things are already breaking .. the desktop switcher crapped out just now .. and its been freezing ... thoughts anyone?
[13:40] <KM0201> delinquentme: graphics card?
[13:40] <szal> delinquentme: RAM, PSU, CPU cooling?
[13:41] <xgt0011> delinquentme: did u install 10.04.2?
[13:41] <KM0201> delinquentme: also, what are the general system specs... if it's low on RAM, CPU power, etc.. and you have effects enabled, that can definitely cause instability
[13:41] <delinquentme> KM0201, i Am running the accelerated nvidia stuff
[13:41] <KM0201> delinquentme: that's a terrible answer
[13:41] <KM0201> if you want help, learn to answer a question
[13:41] <delinquentme> noo i havent! im on regular only 10.04
[13:42] <szal> delinquentme: then install all updates, and if it still "breaks", come again
[13:42] <delinquentme> KM0201, BGF tech 6800 OC .. running the after market xserver .. however it froze before that ... additionalyl i've run a single pass on the RAM and it passes
[13:42] <dr_Willis> upgraded 10.04  Becomes 10.04.2
[13:42] <bodom> Hi there
[13:42] <bodom> My kernel is says ata4 is failing. How do you know what disk is ata4? I'm looking for a mapping between ataX and sdX
[13:43] <delinquentme> bodom, fdisk -l
[13:43] <leagris> bodom, or mount
[13:43] <KM0201> not to mention, 10.04 is over a year old, if the system is really new, might be wise to just start w/ 11.04, unless you're dead nuts set on LTS
[13:43] <delinquentme> KM0201, nah its a few years old
[13:44] <delinquentme> bodom, you might need to do "sudo fdisk -l "
[13:44] <bodom> delinquentme, leagris: none of this commands shows me nothing about ata -> sd mapping
[13:44] <anuvrat_> can this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot#Creating%20a%20chroot be used to install operating system on the physical hard drive?
[13:44] <anuvrat_> dr_Willis, can this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot#Creating%20a%20chroot be used to install operating system on the physical hard drive?
[13:45] <leagris> KM0201, there are enough issue in 11.04 with Unity, multiple display bug, <super> modifier handout bug, policy-kit crashes and mixed experience with unity alone for some to prefer staying in LTS for now.
[13:45] <szal> bodom: exact error msg, please
[13:46] <bodom> ata4.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x
[13:46] <bodom> etc...
[13:46] <bodom> it's the classic "ata4 is dead message", but I don't know what disk is ata4
[13:47] <dr_Willis> anuvrat_:  that type of  install is prob mote complex then most people canhandle
[13:48] <szal> bodom: dmesg | grep -i ata | less <- will tell you what devices are which
[13:48] <dr_Willis> anuvrat_:  i know i wouldent want to do it that way.
[13:48] <szal> bodom: you might need to scroll around to find the actual assignment lines
[13:48] <anuvrat_> dr_Willis, I do it from the live cd environment .. on the mounted root partition of hte HDD .. would that boot normallY?
[13:49] <sudokill> anuvrat_, why not install normally?
[13:49] <sudokill> why take the gentoo route?
[13:49] <kristian-aalborg> Atheros AR2425
[13:49] <kristian-aalborg> bazhang, ^
[13:50] <anuvrat_> sudokill, coz I am sitting 600 Km away from the computer and have ssh access to a live environment running on it ...
[13:50] <bodom> szal: it says the disk type and model, but all disks are same model :\
[13:50] <kristian-aalborg> the other card that did not work was some old PCMCIA thing
[13:50] <dr_Willis> anuvrat_:  if you got lucky. it should work. but i dont see the point. if the thing is booted using the live cd. use the installer
[13:50] <kristian-aalborg> I don't have neither of the boxen anymore, so hard to do stuff with them
[13:50] <anuvrat_> dr_Willis, its 8. something live CD
[13:50] <dr_Willis> anuvrat_:  you can x forward.. or use a shared desktop
[13:51] <anuvrat_> dr_Willis, and?
[13:51] <sudokill> anuvrat_, if its a livecd why are things mounted?
[13:51] <bazhang> kristian-aalborg, pcmcia cards are notoriously poorly supported in all OS
[13:51] <dr_Willis> 8? egads.... upgrade..
[13:51] <leagris> bodom, hwinfo | grep ata4 will give you some infos
[13:51] <kristian-aalborg> my router is an old D-Link of the "g" variety
[13:51] <dr_Willis> there is some remote desktop services that work. but nit sure about that old a release
[13:52] <frando> hello. i want to connect to an openvpn over an existing vpnc connection. so to access the internet in my network, i have to use a vpnc vpn. i want to route all traffic through an openvpn as well, though, for anonymity purposes. if i connect to the openvpn after having connected to the vpnc vpn, a new tunnel is created, however, firefox and everything else seems to keep using the first tunnel (vpnc). how can i change that?
[13:52] <kristian-aalborg> none of this software has had issues w/ Debian
[13:52] <frando> i'm on ubuntu 10.10
[13:52] <dr_Willis> ssh in x forward enabled. run the gui installer
[13:52] <bazhang> kristian-aalborg, not seen that level of issues you describe with atheros chipsets. d-link is a way bigger suspect in my view
[13:53] <anuvrat_> dr_Willis, cool idea .. should work ..
[13:53] <anuvrat_> dr_Willis, will return with results
[13:53] <frando> here are some more details: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1767863
[13:53] <antilect> Is it a good idea to go back to 10.04? :)
[13:53] <antilect> I find it has more fun apps, themes, etc etc
[13:53] <antilect> And I don't feel very good about natty
[13:53] <antilect> the menu thingy
[13:54] <dr_Willis> apps shiuld be same
[13:54] <antilect> I'm new to linux, what will I miss out on if I go back? :)
[13:54] <dr_Willis> !classic
[13:54] <bazhang> antilect, personal choice. choose classic if you dont like unity
[13:54] <antilect> I do run the Ubuntu classic :)
[13:54] <antilect> However, I wish to install programs like GnoMenu to customize a bit more ^^
[13:54] <bazhang> antilect, so its a personal choice if you go back to 10.04 no need to poll here
[13:54] <dr_Willis> get used to unity.....
[13:55] <dr_Willis> antilect:  theres a lot of tweaks for unity you csn do
[13:56] <antilect> Oh :)
[13:56] <antilect> I'm new.
[13:56] <antilect> 2 days with this OS, and I'm not aware of possibilities yet.
[13:56] <antilect> I do run the classic because I like "docky"
[13:57] <dr_Willis> ckeck webupd8 blog site
[13:57] <kristian-aalborg> router is  DI-524
[13:57] <antilect> Googling it dr_Willis
[13:59] <anuvrat_> dr_Willis, what is the name of the installer?
[14:00] <dr_Willis> ubiquity or similer
[14:00] <anuvrat_> dr_Willis,  ubiquity-gtkui.desktop .. how do i execute this thing?
[14:00] <anuvrat_> dr_Willis, dot slash doesn't work
[14:01] <dr_Willis> what dot slash
[14:01] <anuvrat_> dr_Willis,  ./ubiquity-xxxxx
[14:01] <dr_Willis> look in the file for the command to use
[14:02] <dr_Willis> you dont run. desktop files from shell that ive wver seen
[14:02] <anuvrat_> dr_Willis, Exec=ubiquity --desktop %k gtk_ui
[14:02] <dr_Willis>    ./ is for files in the current dir
[14:03] <dr_Willis> i guessed right.. ubiquity
[14:04] <anuvrat_> dr_Willis, worked
[14:05] <dr_Willis> you did make backups?
[14:05] <anuvrat_> dr_Willis, but the connection seems to be too damn slow to support X forwarding
[14:06] <dr_Willis> could be. teamviewer would be faster perhaps
[14:06] <dr_Willis> or just talk thriugh the install over the pfone
[14:07] <anuvrat_> dr_Willis, yeah .. last option seems to be that only
[14:09] <dr_Willis> if you are eraseing and usung the whole disk. its not too hard
[14:09] <balaji_> i have apache2 in my system. it is configured as apache will get started on boot. I dont need this, how to make this not to start on boot?
[14:10] <pdelgallego> Hi, How do I now what is my IP /eth1  inside of a LAN?
[14:11] <dr_Willis> pdelgallego:  ifconfig command
[14:11] <BluesKaj> Hiyas
[14:11] <pdelgallego> dr_Willis, Im going to try that.
[14:11] <Pici> pdelgallego: or ip addr show eth1
[14:14] <pdelgallego> Pici,   I got inet <IP_ADDRESS>/19 brd <IP_ADDRESS> scope global eth1 so my LAN address is <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS>/19 ?
[14:14] <cyperbg> guys I left my machine running a script during the night and when I woke up it was stopped. Connecting using VNC was unsuccessfuly, but I managed to connect via SSH and sudo reboot. How can I find out what happened?
[14:14] <Pici> pdelgallego: <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:15] <balaji_> i am using ubuntu11.04, sometimes when i click shutdown system gets restarted. why this problem?
[14:16] <photolab> hi people, how can I increase the brightness of the screen? I use a HP 6735s with Ubuntu 11.04
[14:16] <antilect> I'll download 10.04 again and go back :)
[14:16] <antilect> feel more comfortable with it ^^
[14:16] <gry> antilect: You want classic desktop there?
[14:17] <antilect> yeah, and all the solutions for it available :D
[14:17] <gry> antilect: It is an option in login screen.
[14:17] <antilect> I know!
[14:17] <gry> Oh my.
[14:17] <antilect> But 11.04 doesn't support a lot of the custom apps I like :)
[14:17] <antilect> and I'm not haxx0r enough to understand how to make them work yet
[14:18] <gry> You notify their authors of the problem too, right?
[14:18] <antilect> how do I do that?
[14:18] <antilect> by mail?
[14:18] <gry> Yup.
[14:18] <antilect> "I love your app, but it's not supported in 11.04. I would love to see it ported." <--
[14:18] <Hodgestar> Is there a channel Unity developers hang out in?
[14:18] <gry> antilect: Indeed.
[14:18] <photolab> hi people, how can I increase the brightness of the screen on a HP 6735s with Ubuntu 11.04?
[14:18] <pdelgallego> Pici, thx, to allow this machine (server A)  to connect to a database in  server B the iptables rule should be something like this   iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s <IP_ADDRESS>/32 --dport 27017 -j ACCEPT isn't it?
[14:18] <gry> Hodgestar: #unity I suppose.
[14:18] <Pici> Hodgestar: #ayatana
[14:19] <gry> Oh.
[14:19] <Hodgestar> gry: Tried that.
[14:19] <Hodgestar> Pici: Thanks.
[14:19] <Pici> pdelgallego: I'm afraid that I'm not familiar with iptables enough to be of any help, sorry.
[14:19] <pdelgallego> Pici, np thx anyway

[14:23] <folivora> Zesturian: Download them manually and install them manually, if you can't find working url.
[14:23] <Pici> BajK: Don't do that again.
[14:24] <Pici> Zesturian: Take a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[14:24] <BajK> Pici: just wanted to copy the message floodbot brings :)

[14:28] <lsjreadingpa> I'm trying to set up sharing between my ubuntu system and my other 2 win7 computers, can anyone help?
[14:28] <RA_drc> sorry, it just doesn't work, i'm not getting a good vibe from that room.
[14:28] <TrevInc> lsjreadingpa: so they already have shares set up?
[14:29] <RA_drc> maybe they should add mood lighting or something to fix it up
[14:29] <lsjreadingpa> my windows 7 pcs yes
[14:29] <TrevInc> Placement > Connect to Server ... >
[14:29] <TrevInc> Under Service type select Windows share
[14:29] <CDelia> Hello everyone.
[14:29] <TrevInc> under Server put the local IP
[14:29] <CDelia> I could really use some help with an issue I am having.
[14:29] <TrevInc> hit connect and it should prompt you for whatever you need to set up
[14:29] <jkeiper> is there a reason why "host www.google.com" works in windows and osx on my network (same IP settings) but when I boot into ubuntu 10.04 it doesn't resolve?
[14:29] <lsjreadingpa> but when i connect to server it asks for a workgroup password and i never had one set up
[14:30] <TrevInc> just put your login password for that machine
[14:30] <TrevInc> and make sure it's the username for that machine
[14:30] <lsjreadingpa> thats what i thought, didnt work
[14:30] <lsjreadingpa> correct username and password
[14:30] <Dharmesh_> HI
[14:30] <Dharmesh_> I am php developer
[14:31] <CDelia> I am using Ubuntu 10.10 on a toshiba satellite laptop. My speakers work fine, but my headphone jack does not receive sound at all. I tried posting my question in the forums, but no one answered my request for help. Does anyone here know how to solve my problem?
[14:31] <Dharmesh_> and facing one strange issue
[14:31] <Dharmesh_> Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[14:32] <TrevInc> CDelia: when you plug in to your headphone jack, does the speaker sound cut out?
[14:32] <CDelia> No it keeps playing as usual.
[14:32] <Pici> !enter | Dharmesh_
[14:32] <fonzie> CDelia: on at least one occasion I've seen systems where the audio mixer port names did not match the physical hardware.
[14:32] <lsjreadingpa> i can see ubuntu from my win7 laptop and can see all the folders i set to share but when i try to go in i get that lovely username password window that never works for me
[14:32] <Dharmesh_> ubottu: ok
[14:33] <TrevInc> CDelia: you may have to manually change when you plug in headphones.
[14:33] <CDelia> How would I accomplish that?
[14:33] <TrevInc> Under Sound Preferences, select Output, then change the Connector dropdown box to one of the other options until it works
[14:33] <Dharmesh_> i am php developer and hosted my application on linode hosting i have developed a code to resize images i am using imagecreatefromjpeg() imagecreatefromgif imagecreatefrompng here imagecreatefromjpeg() does not work But the other ones do? i checked my log file [notice] child pid 18209 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) it gives this
[14:34] <jkeiper> [restating question] is there a reason why _ping_ works in windows 7 and osx on my _machine_ (same IP settings) but not in ubuntu 10.04?
[14:34] <TrevInc> you should be able to find sound preferences from the Indicator Applet by right clicking on the sound control.
[14:34] <binary-temptatio> @CDelia: sudo alsamixer -> headphones
[14:35] <balaji_> i have apache2 in my system. it is configured as apache will get started on boot. I dont need this, how to make this not to start on boot?

[14:36] <Dharmesh_> anybody having LAMP knowledge?
[14:37] <nikhgupta_> sorry.. wrong channel :/
[14:37] <CDelia> Binary, did not work. Trevinc: there is only one option in the output menu.
[14:37] <nikhgupta_> Dharmesh_, what is it you are looking for?
[14:37] <bfri> can anyone help me with using my workspaces
[14:37] <binary-temptatio> @balaji_: did you tried to remove the apache file in /etc/init.d ?
[14:37] <fonzie> Dharmesh_: what's your question?
[14:37] <TrevInc> CDelia: So this is a Toshiba Satellite? what model number?
[14:38] <dr_Willis> bfri:  gu
[14:38] <Psychobudgie> can someone offer some assistance with a video issue?

[14:38] <jimmie> Don't suppose anyone knows how to change the width of the unity launcher do they?
[14:39] <rc55> Can anyone tell me how I can install 10.04 on EC2 in the Free Tier? It only lets me choose the Amazon AMI Linux distributions on the web console. Thanks! :)
[14:39] <jpds> jimmie: Install compizconfig-settings-manager.
[14:39] <bfri> dr_willis gu?
[14:39] <Psychobudgie> when running opengl apps (minecraft, warzone) the screen flicks to black then back to normal every few seconds or so
[14:39] <jimmie> Ah so theres no way to do it in the Launcher.qml?
[14:39] <dr_Willis> bfri:  give details..
[14:39] <jpds> jimmie: Go to "Ubuntu Unity Plugin" settings, Experimental → Width.
[14:40] <MagicJ> I have a system where I am getting the message Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display - how do I get rid of this?  It is stopping me running the screen saver
[14:40] <TrevInc> CDelia: yeah, that one has special software in the Windows distro that comes with it to handle detection and switching for that device :/
[14:40] <TrevInc> I had a similar issue with one of the L series
[14:40] <bfri> dr_willis well i want to use my workspace but i can only access one how do i access the rest?
[14:40] <TrevInc> Now for the one super dumb question
[14:40] <balaji_> binary-temptatio: is it the actual procedure to stop services when booting? i am a beginner
[14:40] <CDelia> I had figured out a way to get them to work before, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was I did.
[14:40] <TrevInc> Are you sure it's the right jack?
[14:40] <CDelia> Yes
[14:41] <Pici> Dharmesh_, rc55: You both may want to try asking in #ubuntu-server
[14:41] <jimmie> Thanks Jpds
[14:42] <dr_Willis> workspace switcher icon nirmally  bfri  in the panel
[14:42] <Macrotus> Does anyone know why I can't use Netbeans IDE 7.0 with network shares? I can't access remote server's projects with it, it only shows me the local drives.
[14:42] <dark2> Java is a tricky thing.. I'm trying to get it working right. In firefox, it freezes when it tries to use it. I thought it was because of Open JDK, so I uninstalled that and manually installed the newest version, but nothing has changed
[14:42] <CDelia> I had upgraded to Xubuntu 11.04 then it crashed my computer and wouldn't boot up then I switched back to 10.10 ubuntu and couldn't figure out how to get it to work again.
[14:42] <llutz> balaji_: sudo mv /etc/init/apache2.con /etc/init/apache2.conf.noexec
[14:42] <fonzie> Dharmesh_: your code is exhausting the ram of your vm.
[14:42] <dr_Willis> dark2:  manually?
[14:42] <llutz> balaji_: sudo mv /etc/init/apache2.conf /etc/init/apache2.conf.noexec
[14:42] <bfri> dr_willis yes but how do i activate the other spaces?
[14:43] <dark2> dr_Willis: Yes?
[14:43] <RA_drc> !troll
[14:43] <bfri> dr_willis and then use them?
[14:43] <scribe> Unity sucks eggs.  I've tried for 2 months now and still can't work without frustration.  I want my desktop back.  Classic here I come. - Troll
[14:43] <dr_Willis> bfri:  i click on the icon and it shows them
[14:43] <dr_Willis> dark2: hat does manually mean exactly
[14:43] <bfri> dr_willis right but that isnt working
[14:43] <bfri> dr_willis right but that isnt working
[14:43] <ugarit> I'm using 11.04 (64bit) how do I make grub default to windows xp instead of ubuntu?
[14:44] <dr_Willis> bfri:  so now we are to the actual question..
[14:44] <balaji_> llutz:there is no apache file in "init" folder, apache is in "init.d"
[14:44] <binary-temptatio> balaji: llutz +1
[14:45] <bfri> what happened was i installed compiz and that switch all my setting so i just want get the setting i had back dr_willis
[14:45] <llutz> balaji_: not an upstart-job yet? ... "sudo sysv-rc-conf"
[14:45] <Kartagis> how can I switch languages with a keyboard shortcut? I've looked at keyboard shortcuts, didn't see anything
[14:45] <llutz> balaji_: sysv-rc-conf needs to be installed, isn't by default
[14:45] <balaji_> llutz:pardon.
[14:46] <balaji_> llutz: what you are telling about?
[14:46] <binary-temptatio> balaji_: rcconf is like sysv-rc-conf
[14:46] <gisli> Kartagis: go into the keyboard menu - layouts - options button - and "Keys to change keyboard layout"
[14:47] <dark2> dr_Willis: Uninstalling OpenJDK from synaptic, and installing the newest Sun version from their site, installing it and telling ubuntu to use that one. I used https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/java#TOC-Removal to help
[14:47] <gisli> Kartagis: that is if you already have two layouts. You can add them in the layouts section in my answer above
[14:48] <Kartagis> thanks gisli, I got it
[14:48] <gisli> you're welcome
[14:48] <dark2> dr_Willis: Also the main reason I went and did all that, Minecraft still crashes! >.<
[14:49] <dr_Willis> dark2 there is a sun java in the partners repo.
[14:49] <ugarit> using 11.04 (64bit) where do  I change the default to windows xp for booting?
[14:49] <dr_Willis> !java
[14:49] <Josh__> Hey!
[14:49] <Pici> dark2: use sudo update-java-alternatives to make sure that your system is using the right version of Java.
[14:49] <dark2> dr_Willis, however it was a few versions behind, so I went with this route
[14:50] <dr_Willis> i do belive ive seen people in here use it to plau minecraft
[14:50] <TrevInc> I have
[14:50] <michelem> hello folks
[14:50] <llutz> balaji_:  use "sudo sysv-rc-conf" to manage your services (en-/disable) them. You need to install that package before you can use it. that i was telling you
[14:51] <eekTheCat> so to get gnome3 do I need a ppa?
[14:51] <dr_Willis> eekTheCat:  yes
[14:51] <pylix> hey i'm trying to fix my resolution with xrandr but i'm getting errors
[14:51] <ugarit> using 11.04 (64bit) where do  I change the default to windows xp for booting?
[14:51] <michelem> I have a bunch of systems that I need to clone. On every system the Ethernet card gets a different name, so I stuck a udevd rule to rename to eth0 at boot. The rule currently matches the MAC Address of the card: http://dpaste.de/NJrK/
[14:51] <ugarit> pylix: try this http://it-tactics.blogspot.com/2010/08/ubuntu-1004-with-docking-station.html
[14:52] <dark2> sudo update-java-alternatives
[14:52] <dark2> [sudo] password for dark2:

[14:52] <michelem> any clue how to match the (only) Ethernet card on the system, regardless of the Mac?
[14:52] <dr_Willis> !grub2| ugarit
[14:52] <llutz> ugarit: sudo mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/08_os-prober && sudo update-grub
[14:52] <dark2> fine, stupid bot >.> http://paste.ubuntu.com/636360/
[14:52] <balaji_> llutz: thanks so using sysv-rc-conf i can enable/disable all services which is starting on boot. am i right?
[14:53] <llutz> balaji_: yes
[14:53] <balaji_> llutz:fine thank u
[14:54] <dr_Willis> upstart services also? llutz
[14:54] <Pici> dark2: okay, so use -l to list which ones you have enabled and then use -s with the name of the java package to set it.
[14:54] <llutz> dr_Willis: iirc yes
[14:54] <llutz> dr_Willis: but he just told me, apache2 is not an upstart-job...
[14:54] <dark2> Pici: Doesn't even see the installed Java
[14:54] <gry> http://typewith.me/Mnec3q41Or MySql problem.
[14:55] <ugarit> llutz wow! that's very different from older ubuntus
[14:55] <Pici> dark2: How did you install Java?
[14:55] <dr_Willis> llutz:  well from what ive seen the init.d scripts call upstart scripts. or are links to them.
[14:55] <dark2> Pici: Used https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/java#TOC-Removal to install the newest
[14:55] <llutz> ugarit: you also can edit /etc/default/grub, but that will break if a new kernel comes with an update
[14:56] <dr_Willis> dark2:  thats why its nit seen
[14:56] <MagicJ> I am getting the message: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display - it stops the screen saver - how do I fix this
[14:56] <Pici> dark2: That is not the proper way to install Java.
[14:56] <SirShmoopy> hello, does anyone have any recommendations for wireless cards to use? i'm building a new box and havent looked at hardware in a long time
[14:56] <ugarit> so the GRUB people decided to make things more complicated!
[14:56] <dark2> dr_Willis well it should see it, and I can't reverse it
[14:57] <dr_Willis> ugarit: i find it simpiler
[14:57] <ugarit> dr_Willis previously I just had to change an integer
[14:57] <MagicJ> SirShmoopy:  I use the cheapest Linksys that Wal-Mart has at the time and have GREAT results
[14:57] <dr_Willis> dark2:  you bypassed the package manager and thus the alternative system
[14:58] <SirShmoopy> MagicJ, is that for g or n?
[14:58] <gamer1990> the latest available version in repo is u26, so you can install java threw the normal way, like apt-get install sun-java6-jre
