[15:24] <wols> destinydriven: then follow the howto you linked yourself
[15:24] <destinydriven> wols: I did
[15:24] <Guest80185> DrHalan: is it possible to watch hd movies with open drivers with ati?
[15:24] <wols> destinydriven: and then check power draw from battery again. should be lower now
[15:25] <destinydriven> the howto doesn't have a solution for #2
[15:25] <Guest80185> DrHalan: i mean, is it possible to exploit video acceleration features of videos with open-source ati drivers?
[15:25] <dm04> dr_willis: i already have a file there named startup.sh.desktop and that doesn't seem to work. it's set to Exec=sudo su /home/dm/Desktop/startup.sh is that correct or did i do anything wrong?
[15:25] <dr_willis> dm04,  i imagine 'exec=sudo su ' is totally wrong...
[15:26] <wols> destinydriven: write a xorg.conf file which explicitly uses the intel driver only
[15:26] <destinydriven> wols: how do I do that?
[15:26] <dm04> dr_willis: sorry i am not so good with ubuntu, what is the correct syntax?
[15:26] <dr_willis> dm04,  and its not clear on what you have 'where'....   You can just put the startup.sh IN the autorun directory.. no need for a foo.desktop that calls it.
[15:26] <wols> destinydriven: and blacklisting the radeon module should work fine too
[15:26] <destinydriven> wols: I'm not experienced in scripting
[15:26] <dr_willis> dm04,  what does the script do?
[15:26] <dm04> dr_willis: thanks, i'll try that
[15:27] <Guest80185> anyone with an ati card here?
[15:27] <dr_willis> lots of people have a large4 varity of ati cards...
[15:27] <unomi> IdleOne: that makes sense, that was my optimistic thought as well
[15:27] <dm04> dr_willis: well nothing at the moment really, just ifconfig stuff to test, once it's working i'm gonna use it with snort/iptables
[15:27] <dr_willis> dm04,  and i imagine it should be 'gksudo whatever.sh'
[15:27] <dr_willis> dm04,  for that stuff if it needs to be ran at boot time. You would want it in /etc/rc.local i imagine
[15:28] <DrHalan> Guest80185: no you cant use video acceleration yet. But it should be working by the end  of the summer
[15:28] <dr_willis> dm04, then it would run befor the user even logs in.
[15:28] <unomi> IdleOne: is there a way to get the 'keyring' popup to show which process / program asked for the keyring access?
[15:28] <unomi> When I looked in 'Details' it was decidedly lacking of any details
[15:28] <Guest80185> DrHalan: you mean with open drivers. What about closed source? Thanks
[15:28] <dm04> dr_willis: i only want it when the user logs in, but you say i can either do exec=gksudo whatever.sh or i can place the sh script in ~/.config/autostart ?
[15:29] <dr_willis> dm04,  yes.
[15:29] <dm04> dr_willis: great thanks, i will try that and let you know
[15:29] <dr_willis> dm04,  make sure its executable..
[15:29] <DrHalan> Guest80185: They should have support for video accleration but i'm not 100% sure though
[15:29] <unomi> Guest80185: ostensibly the closed source ones should 'perhaps' make accelerated video possible
[15:29] <dm04> dr_willis: yes, thanks for reminding me of that hehe :)
[15:29] <unomi> Guest80185: try to look through the phoronix site for details?
[15:30] <wols> destinydriven: http://paste.debian.net/124682/ should be enough
[15:30] <destinydriven> wols: thank you
[15:30] <prix> how can i put the touchpad tab in sistem->preferences-> mouse
[15:31] <destinydriven> wols: ok so where do I insert this code? In /vgaswitcheroo/switch?
[15:32] <Guest80185> unomi, DrHalan: Thanks. I have to buy a new laptop and i don't know if i can choose ati or i have to stick with nvidia as i've always done. Reading about the nvidia optimus problem with linux made me reconsider ati
[15:32] <Guest80185> sorry for my poor english
[15:33] <unomi> Guest80185: E350?
[15:33] <wols> destinydriven: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ if it exists
[15:33] <Guest80185> unomi: what?
[15:33] <gdoteof> I am on Ubuntu 9.10   -- I left my machine on for two weeks without using (it stays on all the time, but is usually used daily).  When I came back it had fallen into low graphics mode (or likely, reset).  Now it says the nvidia driver is not there.  if I mod probe it, it says 'nvidia module not found'
[15:33] <gdoteof> xconfig hasn't changed
[15:33] <dm04> dr_willis: that didn't seem to work, it doesn't require a restart, does it? i can paste the sh script if you want
[15:33] <Guest80185> unomi: E350?
[15:33] <gdoteof> and, all of the nvidia drivers are still installed
[15:33] <unomi> Guest80185: I am fighting a bit with an Asus 1215B with the AMD E-350 APU myself
[15:33] <gdoteof> (or at least, the nvidia packages)
[15:33] <wols> gdoteof: check if there is a nvidia.ko
[15:33] <gdoteof> which folder?
[15:34] <unomi> Guest80185: E350 is one of the AMD APUs for laptops
[15:34] <dury> hi there channel :)
[15:34] <wols> gdoteof: somewhere below /lib/modules
[15:34] <destinydriven> wols: thank u so much
[15:34] <wols> gdoteof: but not in /lib/modules
[15:34] <Guest80185> unomi: ok, i still have to get te laptop so i can choose. In case of problems i think i will stick with nvidia as usual
[15:35] <unomi> Guest80185: Just reread your question, I thought that you had one at the moment
[15:35] <maulana> am need, to turn on my desktop effect on ubuntu 11.04 how i do it ?????
[15:35] <xangua> gdoteof: pease use a suported version of ubuntu
[15:36] <gdoteof> xangua: sounds fair
[15:36] <dury> my question is .... I got 11.04 boot it in live... in the process of installation is it possible tochoose in which harddisk I want to to install?
[15:36] <wols> dury: of course it is. partition and its size are of course also choosable
[15:36] <dury> sorry to repear to :(
[15:36] <unomi> Guest80185: Well, I jumped on a new AMD / ATI E350 based laptop, it works quite well on ubuntu 11.04 both with the closed source and opensource drivers as far as I can tell
[15:36] <wols> maulana: what videocard and drivers?
[15:37] <dury> wols: all right.. see if I can do it :)
[15:37] <gdoteof> wols: http://pastebin.com/t4bDFDa8
[15:37] <Guest80185> unomi: so why did you write that you were fighting with the E350?
[15:37] <unomi> Guest80185: I will say though that I had some problems with running 720p movies in full screen on a 2048x1152 external screen
[15:38] <erus`> how do i install this http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/haskell-platform (a oneiric package) ?
[15:38] <xangua> !ubuntu+1| erus`
[15:38] <ThinkT510> erus`: you shouldn't
[15:38] <unomi> Guest80185: there is some noticable tearing, and with 'no-tear' / vsync it drops frames with VLC
[15:38] <erus`> ThinkT510: why not?
[15:38] <wols> gdoteof: I asked for a nvidia.ko and clearly there is none
[15:38] <Guest80185> unomi: what about hd movies at 720p without rescaling on an external screen?
[15:39] <maulana> please how i can to used desktop effect....
[15:39] <ThinkT510> erus`: oneric packages are for oneric
[15:39] <Guest80185> unomi: 2048x1152 means rescaling i guess...
[15:39] <maulana> am install ubuntuu 11.04 on my notebook lenovo g460 intel
[15:39] <unomi> Guest80185: high degree of movement gave me tearing
[15:40] <theadmin> !compiz | maulana
[15:40] <unomi> Guest80185: That said, it is a pretty new chipset, I don't doubt that it will be improved - it is flawless under windows
[15:40] <maulana> theadmin, am have do install compiz but desktop effect still not working.
[15:40] <unomi> Guest80185: also, when I tested I had compiz etc running
[15:40] <theadmin> maulana: You have to also install CCSM or a similar tool.
[15:40] <unomi> Guest80185: just a sec
[15:40] <Guest80185> unomi: you have tearing even with movies on the laptop screen, not the external one?
[15:40] <maulana> oke
[15:41] <unomi> Guest80185: for high quality ones, yes I did.
[15:41] <maulana> what the command for install ccsm on terminal theadmin
[15:41] <anti_system> Jul 31 16:37:53 X38-DS5 sshd[2420]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=<IP_ADDRESS>  user=testuser
[15:41] <anti_system> Jul 31 16:37:55 X38-DS5 sshd[2420]: Failed password for testuser from <IP_ADDRESS> port 50956 ssh2
[15:41] <unomi> Guest80185: let me try again as I have turned compiz off
[15:41] <destinydriven> wols: I see xorg.conf but not xorg.conf.d. Should I create it?/
[15:41] <anti_system> this is auth.log when i try to login on ltsp thin client
[15:42] <Guest80185> unomi: ok, i will investigate the nvidia optimus problem. i'd like to know if this bumblebee thing works
[15:42] <gdoteof> wols: sorry.. it wasn't clear to me.  i was not sure if nvidiafb.ko was a derivative or something
[15:42] <wols> destinydriven: dunno if ubuntu has a xorg.conf.d/  and why do you have a xorg.conf in the first place? normally you shouldn't need one
[15:42] <dm04> dr_willis: are you still here?
[15:42] <anti_system> ikonia i think its a pam ou sshd config problem
[15:42] <destinydriven> wols: I didn't put that there
[15:43] <wols> destinydriven: you did. unless someone else uses your computer :)
[15:43] <dr_willis> dm04,  In and out all day
[15:43] <wols> destinydriven: make a backup. rm it and restart X to see if X still works. if it doesn't, restore the backup
[15:43] <ThinkT510> destinydriven: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[15:43] <wols> destinydriven: have you ever installed fglrx?
[15:43] <unomi> Guest80185: sure - I should say though that the system that I am on is just a slight step up from a netbook - a ~400$ 12incher
[15:43] <anti_system> someone can help me with ltsp+edubuntu/ubuntu logon problem on ltsp thin-client
[15:43] <dm04> dr_willis: i did all you said and it doesn't open a terminal, do you want to see my script or any configs?
[15:44] <xangua> wolplease stop helping an unsupported distro
[15:44] <xangua> wols:
[15:44] <unomi> Guest80185: but, yeah, unfortunately nvidia seems to support linux a bit better these days
[15:44] <destinydriven> wols: today is the first day I ever wrote/edited a script on this laptop
[15:44] <ThinkT510> destinydriven: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[15:44] <dr_willis> dm04,  start with somting simpiler.. try copying the gnome-terminal.desktop to  the autostart dir. see if that works. try a simple script that just launches gedit perhaps.
[15:44] <destinydriven> ThinkT510: 11.04
[15:44] <wols> xangua: how do you know it's unsupported?
[15:44] <Guest80185> unomi: as far as i can remember it has always been so. nvidia closed source drivers have always been better than ati's
[15:44] <dr_willis> dm04,  theres also some auto start config tool i belive
[15:44] <wols> xangua: which one's distro is unsupported?
[15:45] <destinydriven> wols: yes I tried to install fglrx earlier today. I had to uninstall it
[15:45] <heckman> I've asked i compiz, I'll ask here too. Upgraded from 10.10 -> 11.04.  When using Compiz to render in 'Ubuntu Classic' i cannot click and drag any windows.
[15:45] <theadmin> dm04: You can't use sudo in Gnome's autostart, really
[15:45] <heckman> Any thoughts?
[15:45] <wols> destinydriven: that's probably the reason
[15:45] <xangua> !eol  | wols gdoteof
[15:45] <destinydriven> wols: so I can safely remove the xorg.conf file?
[15:45] <dm04> theadmin: not the system autostart, but user autostart
[15:45] <unomi> Guest80185: nod, I am hoping that this will change in the near future though - AMD hired some more devs to work on the OpenSource side
[15:45] <wols> destinydriven: yes. check if its date is from today
[15:45] <dr_willis> dm04,  i mentioned needing 'gksudo' earier. :) instead of sudo
[15:45] <theadmin> dm04: Even worse.
[15:45] <ThinkT510> xangua: he says he is using 11.04
[15:45] <destinydriven> wols: ok
[15:46] <theadmin> dr_willis: gksu is a bad idea with autostart...
[15:46] <unomi> Guest80185: not much a consolation if you want flawless video out of the box 'nao' though
[15:46] <ThinkT510> xangua: sorry, misread
[15:46] <dr_willis> what hes was trying to add to autostart seemed like a bad idea  also... but  he seems to want to do it anyway.
[15:46] <wols> gdoteof: I'd upgrade to 10.04 LTS. that way you have some time of support in your future
[15:46] <Guest80185> unomi: i thinks i will get a laptop with an nvidia card, this bumbleebee thing seems to work
[15:46] <dm04> dr_willis: well what do you suggest me to do, if i want to run scripts that require sudo, when the user logs in?
[15:47] <theadmin> dr_willis: Yeah, plus "sudo su command" makes NO sense at all
[15:47] <wols> Guest80185: no it does not. optimus is implemented badly, very badly
[15:47] <gdoteof> wols: cool.  thanks
[15:47] <dm04> theadmin: i didn't say sudo su anywhere, if i did, it was a mistake
[15:47] <theadmin> dm04: Oh, sorry.
[15:47] <wols> Guest80185: some can work yes, but far from all
[15:47] <destinydriven> wols: yeah created date is today
[15:47] <unomi> Guest80185: Your call :)
[15:47] <wols> destinydriven: rm it with prejudice
[15:48] <Guest80185> wols: i will have to check the list of supported laptops on bumblebee site then
[15:48] <unomi> Guest80185: What I would do is take a usb stick with you and try it out at a shop
[15:48] <destinydriven> wols: ok great. Can I just rename it to something like xorg.conf.OLD?
[15:48] <unomi> Guest80185: then you can always buy it online later if that is what you want
[15:48] <dm04> theadmin: what should i do if i have to run services that has to run by root, when the user logs in?
[15:49] <theadmin> dm04: That makes no sense at all to do.
[15:49] <theadmin> dm04: You have to run those at system startup, see /etc/rc.d/ or... err, /etc/init, actually
[15:49] <wols> destinydriven: yes
[15:49] <wols> dm04: which services exactly?
[15:49] <destinydriven> wols: k thanks, gonna do that and restart. brb
[15:50] <dm04> theadmin: ok, what i want to run is snort IDS, system startup can work but the thing is, i want the user to see that there is no errors when snort IDS starts or anything
[15:50] <dr_willis> dm04,  use gksudo . but as theadmin  said. thats not great for use in auto starting stuff...
[15:51] <theadmin> dm04: Make it log it, like "snortids > /var/log/snortids.log" or something like that.
[15:51] <Guest80185> wols, unomi: by working i don't mean that the "automatic graphics switching" feature of nvidia optimus has to work. I will be satisfied if i can manage to switch the nvidia card on or off
[15:51] <Guest80185> wols, unomi: that features should be available i guess
[15:52] <dm04> theadmin: great idea, so at user startup, how do i open a gnome terminal and make it cat it?
[15:52] <unomi> Guest80185: nod, well, I don't know anything about that tbh - I wanted to get an APU for work / programming
[15:52] <dm04> user login*
[15:52] <theadmin> dm04: You do not.
[15:52] <maulana> brotha...
[15:52] <theadmin> dm04: You use that idea at system startup.
[15:52] <wols> Guest80185: it's a bit OT but: why do you need a discrete card in your laptop?
[15:52] <theadmin> dm04: And then the user reads the logs
[15:52] <Guest80185> wols: hd movies
[15:53] <maulana> am used idm on windows for download somefilee for fast and what the alternatif software on ubuntu 11.04 ?
[15:53] <wols> Guest80185: get an intel. the current ones are all fast enough by far. no need for a power hungry extra videocard
[15:53] <unomi> nod
[15:53] <dm04> theadmin: the thing is.. if i "cat logfile" on boot, it disappears so fast i dont get to see it
[15:53] <dm04> theadmin: so i wanted my ow nscript, to cat it, when the user logs in, in a terminal session
[15:53] <Guest80185> wols: will compiz work with intel cards?
[15:53] <unomi> and ION2 based board should rip through the movies due to good driver support
[15:53] <wols> yes
[15:53] <theadmin> dm04: Not on boot! You CREATE th logfile on boot, you cat it after user is logged in
[15:54] <unomi> s/and/an/
[15:54] <wols> Guest80185: that is the core 2 or core i intel chips. the atom ones not
[15:54] <unomi> Guest80185: as long as it is just movies and not games you are after
[15:54] <unomi> wols: really? I would have thought that ION2 would be more than enough for movies?
[15:54] <xt3mp0r> I'm not used to closing windows by clicking on "x" sign on the left side. In unity, is there any way i can move "x" sign to the right side? :/
[15:55] <dm04> theadmin: i must not have expressed myself clearly, the snort IDS can run at boot and output the log file. that's good. all that is covered now, but at login i just need a script to open, what's wrong with that?
[15:55] <unomi> they feature in a number of HTPC systems afaik
[15:55] <wols> unomi: buying atom+ion2 is stupid
[15:55] <wols> unomi: well, buying atom is stupid
[15:55] <unomi> wols: if what he wants is just movies..
[15:55] <theadmin> dm04: Ah, that makes perfect sense
[15:55] <erus`> i get this error when trying to install the standard package http://paste.ubuntu.com/655717/
[15:56] <theadmin> dm04: Just add something like "gedit /var/log/snortids.log" at user login
[15:56] <dr_willis> dm04,   tool to print out a log file - theres dozens of ways to do that
[15:56] <Guest80185> wols: so you are saying that if i buy any core i3 (for example) laptop with any intel card i'll be able to play hd movies (1080p) smoothly, right?
[15:56] <wols> unomi: at this point in time, Atom, any atom, is a waste of money. you bought the E350 for a reason
[15:56] <wols> Guest80185: yes
[15:56] <unomi> Guest80185: make an ubuntu usb stick and put a HD clip on it
[15:56] <Guest80185> wols: great
[15:57] <unomi> Guest80185: then go into a computer store and try it out
[15:57] <Guest80185> wols: that really makes the choice a lot easier
[15:57] <unomi> wols: I am not disagreeing - though as with anything - the right tools for the job
[15:57] <ThinkT510> erus`: what version of ubuntu are you using, and what version of the package are you trying to install?
[15:57] <wols> Guest80185: any AMD based laptop is fast enough too btw
[15:57] <fabianhjr_> Captainkrtek, hi, how are you?
[15:58] <dm04> theadmin: well, my problem before was that the terminal never appeared, i wanted to use cat, instead of a gui text editor. but i can try gedit and see if it works.
[15:58] <wols> erus`: apt-cache policy haskell-platform ghc6
[15:58] <unomi> wols, I cant get HD video to run without tearing on my E350
[15:58] <WWW-ACEHDEV-NET> VISIT
[15:58] <wols> unomi: which driver?
[15:58] <unomi> some of the A-series laptops perhaps - or perhaps I have configuration issues
[15:58] <theadmin> dm04: Oh, you might want this: gnome-terminal -e 'cat /var/log/snortids.log ; sleep 5'
[15:58] <th0r> unomi: heck, I can run it on my netbook atom.
[15:58] <th0r> But disagreeing with the experts just opens you up for personal attack
[15:58] <unomi> wols: started with the proprietary that comes with 11.04
[15:58] <WWW-ACEHDEV-NET> wols, how can i find my driver. ?
[15:58] <dm04> theadmin: ah thanks, i will just try that and let you know
[15:59] <Guest80185> wols: will the system offload the video deconding work on the intel graphic chip or will the processor do all the calculation?
[15:59] <unomi> th0r: yes, because the driver support is a bit better there, sadly
[15:59] <wols> Guest80185: depends on your video player
[15:59]  * WWW-ACEHDEV-NET how support desktop effect
[15:59] <erus`> ThinkT510: wols: http://paste.ubuntu.com/655719/
[15:59] <th0r> unomi: the secret is to not waste resources on unnecessary stuff. For one thing, turn off compiz!
[15:59] <Guest80185> wols: smplayer?
[15:59] <induz> I have 1 Gb USB Drive...what is the name of the OS Linux that i can install and boot from it
[15:59] <unomi> wols: the I tried to install the new one from the AMD site, 11.7 as I remember
[15:59] <bkerensa> For some reason boinc is still running in background weeks after I apt-get removed can someone tell me how to nuke it  for good?
[16:00] <unomi> th0r: I agree, I didn't remember to turn off compiz the first time around
[16:00] <fabianhjr_> Is it normal that ubiquity(Ubuntu installer) shows 1/8 of the total capacity?(2.9TB as 380 GiB)
[16:01] <theadmin> fabianhjr_: No, not at all!
[16:01] <theadmin> fabianhjr_: It's dangerous to install like that.
[16:01] <unomi> wols: How can I see which driver I am running at the moment?
[16:01] <wols> Guest80185: mplayer can use VA-API for intel and ati, and vdpau for nvidia
[16:01]  * WWW-ACEHDEV-NET VISIT WWW.ACEHDEV.NET FOR MORE INFO
[16:02] <fabianhjr_> theadmin, I cannot install at all. It is an external hdd, there is no data to loose, though it fails at the end installing the bootloader.

[16:03] <wols> unomi: Xorg.0.log tells you
[16:03] <Omega> !ask | Renski
[16:03] <wols> unomi: either it runs radeon or fglrx
[16:03] <fabianhjr_> theadmin, I know it has to do with my drive having 4k sectors instead of 512, though Disk Utility shows the correct capacity.
[16:03] <induz> any version that can fit into 1gb USB
[16:04] <unomi> wols: from lsmod I would imagine that it runs radeon, I don't see any mention of fglrx in lsmod
[16:04] <Renski> theadmin: ive got a table, with the x and y axis have column and row names. I want to pull a value out of that table, based on the contents of two cells, which will match a row and a column. kind of like a vlookup and a hlookup at the same time. Is there a function to do this?
[16:04] <fabianhjr_> induz, Puppy Linux, 40 mb last time I checked.
[16:04] <carrion> I've installed Gnome3 but i seem to be missing part of the theme, it's usingg metacity or something for the window manager
[16:04] <carrion> any ideas what i'm missing
[16:04] <Guest80185> wols: so for example aCore™ i5-460M with hm55 chipset is perfectly capable of running compiz and of accelerating hd movies?
[16:05] <wols> Guest80185: yes
[16:05] <dli> unomi, fglrx won't load, if radeon detected
[16:05] <fabianhjr_> Guest80185, an i3 can also do HD and acceleration.
[16:05] <ThinkT510> carrion: gnome3 isn't supported here
[16:05] <fabianhjr_> (Only the Sandybridge model)
[16:05] <bkerensa> oh damn
[16:05] <induz> fabianhjr_, what version is good fast and easy to have the basic
[16:06] <carrion> ThinkT510, +1 ?
[16:06] <bkerensa> >.< apt-get just did something super wicked... It started removing all of my core packages (wifi driver, software center, everythings)
[16:06] <wols> bkerensa: so which package did you want to remove?
[16:06] <ThinkT510> carrion: what?
[16:06] <fabianhjr_> inudz, Puppy is the smallest distro I am aware of. Ubuntu there was a netbook edition, no longer.
[16:06] <theadmin> fabianhjr_: SliTaz.
[16:06] <girlygirl> bkerensa: apt-get ask you to confirm changes normally
[16:07] <xangua> !une | induz fabianhjr_
[16:07] <Guest80185> wols, fabianhjr_: thanks, great. now the problem is to find a laptop with only intel card. The majority has an nvidia or ati card...
[16:07] <Guest80185> at least in shopping malls here in italy
[16:07] <bkerensa> girlygirl: I know and it didnt confirm these changes at all.... Its like it some how went berzerk and decided to nuke me :P
[16:07] <fabianhjr_> xangua, I am aware of that, thereby the "no longer"
[16:08] <wols> Guest80185: wrong. the vast majority has intel only
[16:08] <girlygirl> bkerensa: What exactly were you doing when this happened
[16:08] <ThinkT510> fabianhjr_: there is also tinycore, but this is getting off-topic; you could try the ubuntu mini iso
[16:08] <koichirose> Hi, I'm trying to build the passenger apache module on a low memory box. I have approx 210mb free, but get 'virtual memory exhausted'. What are my options?
[16:08] <wols> Guest80185: around 60% I'd guess have only intel video
[16:08] <timepilot> is unity still the planned UI for all future ubuntu releases?
[16:08] <wols> koichirose: add swap
[16:08] <girlygirl> koichirose: swap or swapfile maybe
[16:08] <induz> i have downloaded and installed austurumi iso...hiow can I find where it is in my system in UNEBootIn
[16:08] <fabianhjr_> theadmin, after searching a bit I don't recognize SliTaz. :/
[16:08] <xangua> timepilot: yes
[16:09] <theadmin> fabianhjr_: It's the smallest usable distro, fits in 30mb.
[16:09] <koichirose> wols, girlygirl: I read I can't do it on an OpenVZ VPS?
[16:09] <wims> ubuntu and small / minimal doesnt really go hand in hand, you'd be better off with a distro designed for that purpose
[16:09] <wols> induz: downloaded how? with what browser?
[16:09] <bkerensa> girlygirl: apt-get remove devscripts ubuntu-dev-tools debhelper dh-make diff patch cdbs quilt gnupg      fakeroot lintian  pbuilder piuparts
[16:09] <wols> koichirose: you are right. can't do it there
[16:09] <induz> mozilla
[16:09] <args[0]> Hi, I have a VPS server running Ubuntu 10.04, I'm having some problems with PHP.. I did install it but doesnt run from var/www no idea why, hope someone can help. thanks
[16:09] <timepilot> oh well, ubuntu had a good run.  time to move on
[16:09] <wols> then go into your download manager there, right click on it and open the containing folder
[16:09] <Guest80185> wols: i don't know where you live but searching in the italian version of asus website and in the "mediaworld" online shopping site i can find a few ones
[16:09] <koichirose> wols, ok. no other options?
[16:09] <fabianhjr_> theadmin, oh great. I will keep it in mind. Smallest I knew was Puppy on 40mb. xD So you took 25% less space.
[16:10] <bkerensa> args[0]: #ubuntu-server handles that support
[16:10] <girlygirl> bkerensa: hmm try aptitude instead of apt-get
[16:10] <args[0]> thanks bkerensa !
[16:10] <wols> koichirose: no
[16:10] <Guest80185> wols: i will go anyway to a pc store by the way
[16:10] <bkerensa> girlygirl: Yeah gonna backup some stuff real fast and reboot and see if Ubuntu even boots :P
[16:11] <fabianhjr_> theadmin, I still don't know what to do about he ubiquity issue. Already filed a bug report with syslog and partman logs.
[16:11] <balvinder25> hello all, i need to sync my ipod shuffle in ubuntu 10.
[16:11] <balvinder25> 10.04*
[16:12] <theadmin> fabianhjr_: It's unlikely the Ubuntu team will bother to fix any bugs, all they do is making more of that
[16:12] <ikonia> !ipod | balvinder25
[16:12] <balvinder25> how do i get do it, currently its not getting detected..
[16:12] <fabianhjr_> Oh I see, so what do you suggest I do? Go with other distro?
[16:12] <theadmin> args[0]: C# programmer?
[16:12] <timepilot> thx to unity, mint has almost passed ubuntu on distrowatch
[16:12] <destinydriven> wols: so apparently using that code in xorg.conf.d caused a freeze. Removed xorg.conf.d and reboot and same thing happened. I was only able to boot normally when I restored the original xorg.conf. Which is weird cuz the first time I booted after removing it, everything started up fine
[16:12] <wols> destinydriven: so what driver are you currently using?
[16:12] <ThinkT510> timepilot: do you require any support?
[16:13] <induz> how can i search .iso files in my syatem
[16:13] <destinydriven> wols: I don't have a clue
[16:13] <Guest80185> wols: sorry to bother you again but can you link me a review testing the hd video performance of intel cards with linux? should i look for it in the phoronix website?
[16:13] <timepilot> well ... i either have to change the UI to something else (gnome3, etc) or change distros
[16:13] <destinydriven> wols: here is the result of my lspci | grep VGA
[16:13] <induz> how to use wild acrd like *
[16:13] <ThinkT510> timepilot: you could give xfce a try
[16:14] <induz> to search a file
[16:14] <args[0]> theadmin: yeah
[16:14] <fabianhjr_> induz, download them, there should not come any iso by default.
[16:14] <induz> I downloaded a iso linux but i dont know where it is
[16:14] <ThinkT510> !xubuntu | timepilot
[16:14] <args[0]> theadmin: should focus on open source from now on
[16:14] <Guest80185> wols: or maybe you just have a laptop with an intel card and you can just tell me about the performance with videos
[16:14] <fabianhjr_> ~/Downloads?
[16:14] <destinydriven> wols: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[16:14] <destinydriven> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 6740
[16:14] <m1chael> is this really as good as it sounds? http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer
[16:14] <girlygirl> Guest80185: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel_corei3_2100&num=1
[16:14] <wols> destinydriven: glxinfo |grep render
[16:14] <dm04> theadmin: So I made a sh script and placed it in ~/.config/autostart with the syntax you provided and chmod +x'ed it. It reads a test file, not snort ids, haven't got that setup yet at system startup. However, when I login no terminal appears. My sh script contains first line "#!/bin/bash" and second line "gnome-terminal -e 'cat /home/dm/Desktop/a.log ; sleep 5'". What could be the issue?
[16:14] <timepilot> just frustrated ... unity (even if a good idea, don't think it was) was rushed out the door.
[16:15] <xangua> m1chael: i preffer a real install
[16:15] <zykotick9> induz, is it an .iso file?  if so you could try "find / -name *.iso 2>/dev/null"
[16:15] <ThinkT510> timepilot: i don't use unity and rather wouldn't but this is a support channel, if you came to just complain take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:16] <my_nick_is_lnger> m1chael: nor install is better
[16:16] <timepilot> fair enough
[16:16] <theadmin> dm04: odd, that should work
[16:16] <destinydriven> wols: OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile GEM 20100330 DEVELOPMENT
[16:16] <my_nick_is_lnger> m1chael: *normal
[16:16] <unomi> timepilot: when you login you can choose which WM to use - you don't have to use unity at all
[16:16] <dm04> theadmin: Are there any other methods to start scripts at user login?
[16:16] <theadmin> dm04: I'm not sure, sorry.
[16:16] <wols> destinydriven: very strange indeed
[16:17] <dm04> theadmin: ah okay, but thanks for your help and idea, it is much appreciated :)
[16:17] <args[0]> no one's answering me on #ubuntu-server, anyway.. suppose it is a local Ubuntu OS (not VPS) how can I get PHP to work? I installed LAMP server but cant get PHP files to run from /var/www thanks!
[16:17] <fabianhjr_> theadmin, what do you suggest I do to get Ubuntu installed? Switch distro and be happy?
[16:17] <timepilot> unomi:  i know but so much baggage, might as well use another distro or start w/minimal install.
[16:17] <destinydriven> wols: remember I followed that script in the link I sent earlier. Could that have something to do with it?
[16:17] <biggi_mat> args[0], simply run aptitude install php5
[16:17] <wols> args[0]: what happens if you try to open a http://site/index.php  file?
[16:17] <wols> destinydriven: no
[16:17] <julqui> tengo un problema con ubuntu
[16:17] <theadmin> !it | julqui
[16:17] <args[0]> wols: it shows as empty webpage, nothing to output...
[16:17] <wols> !es
[16:18] <fabianhjr_> theadmin, itr is spanish es
[16:18] <fabianhjr_> !es | julqui
[16:18] <args[0]> biggi_mat: even after installing LAMP? doesn't LAMP already have PHP included?
[16:18] <julqui> ok gracias
[16:18] <Guest80185> girlygirl: thanks but i can't see d video benchmarks in that review, i'm looking for a mobile processor by the way. The one you linked is a desktop one
[16:18] <wols> args[0]: how did you install "LAMP" exactly?
[16:18] <destinydriven> wols: to blacklist I have to use lsmod . . . something like that?
[16:18] <wols> !blacklist
[16:18] <destinydriven> modprobe?
[16:18] <girlygirl> Guest80185: well doesn't it depend on the exact gpu
[16:18] <biggi_mat> args[0], no, not really. I don't understand why someone would use LAMP anyway
[16:19] <args[0]> wols "sudo apt-get install lamp-server^"
[16:19] <wols> girlygirl: it's a sandybridge. that one has only one GPU (weill there are two but not in any meaningful way)
[16:19] <args[0]> biggi_mat: ok so what should I do?
[16:19] <wols> !info lamp-server
[16:19] <wols> args[0]: so what ubuntu doe you run exactly?
[16:19] <args[0]> biggi_mat: I need PHP/MySQL/Apache
[16:19] <args[0]> wols: ubuntu 10.04
[16:20] <args[0]> wols: server
[16:20] <biggi_mat> args[0], simply install them all?
[16:20] <biggi_mat> aptitude has every single one of those
[16:20] <wols> args[0]: apt-cache policy lamp-server
[16:20] <Infernet> hey all
[16:20] <Guest80185> girlygirl, wols: what drivers are needed for the intel graphic chips integrated in the processor (i3, i5 etc.). Will the one installed by ubuntu just work?
[16:21] <girlygirl> Guest80185: They work out of the box
[16:21] <wols> Guest80185: it will just work.
[16:21] <destinydriven> biggi_mat: google 'the perfect server ubuntu 11.04'  or whatever your version is. There are very detailed howto for setting up lamp
[16:21] <girlygirl> Guest80185: in package xserver-video-intel included by default
[16:21] <args[0]> wols: unable to locate pakage 0_0
[16:21] <biggi_mat> destinydriven, tell that to args :)
[16:21] <rkeiii> How can I install kernel 3.0 rc7 on ubuntu 11.04? Do I have to manually download the .deb archives?
[16:21] <destinydriven> yeah, that was meant for args[0]
[16:21] <args[0]> wols: does that mean it is not installed?
[16:21] <Guest80185> girlygirl, wols: Thanks. So all this frenzy about powerful graphic cards on laptops is about gaming, right?
[16:21] <rkeiii> or can i just add the kernel ppa and install form there or?
[16:22] <wols> args[0]: then what did you install. obviously your apt-get install lamp-server wasn't true
[16:22] <wols> !ppa | rkeiii
[16:22] <destinydriven> wols: what if I just add that code you pastied to xorg.conf?
[16:23] <girlygirl> Guest80185: Most new cards with working drivers will provide a similar experience on linux on windows no as win has more intensive games
[16:23] <args[0]> wols: ran the command again and got : "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." so I guess it is already installed
[16:23] <rkeiii> wols: yes i found the kernel ppa
[16:23] <rkeiii> wols: should i be able to install 3.0 from that?
[16:23] <wols> args[0]: doesn't tell us what you actually installed.  run dpkg -l |grep php
[16:23] <ThinkT510> rkeiii: i would advise against it, can't you wait for 11.10?
[16:24] <destinydriven> ThinkT510: how soon will 11.10 be released? Its not even beta yet
[16:24] <rkeiii> ThinkT510: I just got a X220... and I want to run a 2560x1600 monitor over displayport.. afaik 3.0 fixes this
[16:24] <godlywhizken> yo yo yo
[16:24] <wols> destinydriven: it will be released in october, duh!
[16:24] <Guest80185> girlygirl: ok thanks. I'm interested in compiz and videos. I'll look for a review of a core i3, i5 processor and get a laptop with that.
[16:24] <godlywhizken> whats the command to add a user?
[16:24] <oscalation> can anyone give me any  information regarding external hdd. im looking to purchase an external usb hdd (the small ones) am im considering purchasing a laptop hdd with an enclosure over a manufactured external like .. seagate portable. Can anyone tell me if one of these methods is preferred over the other? Is it better to buy a name brand manufactored external hdd? Even though i cant take it apart and pull the drive out are they supposed to last
[16:24] <oscalation> longer?
[16:24] <zykotick9> destinydriven, ubuntu versions are the release date - so 11.10 = 2011, 10th month (October)
[16:24] <args[0]> wols: got this: http://pastebin.com/MmLXe7iv
[16:24] <wols> godlywhizken: adduser
[16:24] <destinydriven> wols: :) nice
[16:24] <AskWizard> Hi Everybody
[16:24] <godlywhizken> i didi apropas adduser but q/e
[16:24] <godlywhizken> oic... you have to be root to run command duh..
[16:24] <girlygirl> Guest80185: My gma 950 on intel atom seems to handle everything !
[16:25] <destinydriven> zykotick9: ahh, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks
[16:25] <Guest80185> girlygirl: even 1080p videos?
[16:25] <Guest80185> girlygirl: on youtube for example?
[16:25] <girlygirl> Guest80185: Yes I was stunned at that but it works, used to not work when I had a driver issue
[16:25] <dli> can I switch audio output without using pulseaudio?
[16:26] <Guest37909> anyone here use Lubuntu?
[16:26] <VampiR3> on atom with G-card OR without ?
[16:26] <monsterr> the Lubuntu IRC seems unresponsive
[16:26] <girlygirl> Guest80185: Though if doing too much at once it will slow down then just disable desktop effects and such
[16:26] <monsterr> Whenever I place a file in my documents folder it goes on the desktop too
[16:26] <dli> can I switch audio output (between analog and HDMI) without using pulseaudio?
[16:27] <guntbert> oscalation: that kind of question seems best asked in ##hardware
[16:28] <Guest80185> girlygirl: unbelievable. if hdvideos work with an atom (which i doubt :-)  but i'm not interested in atoms anyway) they should work properly on an i3 or i5!
[16:28] <preecher> when i plug in a usb flasf drive it places an icon on my desktop --is there a way i can have it to display in the top panel instead? ubuntu 11.04 unity
[16:28] <girlygirl> Guest80185: I assure you they do, but I my netbook as a twin cpu config two atoms
[16:28] <wols> args[0]: create this http://paste.debian.net/124686/ as a test.php file in /var/www and access it then with a browser. it should output stuff
[16:28] <potatoe> can anyone recommend a "how to upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04" in french for a non-technical user running Ubuntu ( gnome ) ?
[16:29] <wols> Guest80185: HD videos worked since the first core duo with X3100 just fine
[16:29] <fabianhjr_> potatoe, everything is automatic. Just like a normal upgrade.
[16:29] <wols> Guest80185: that was around 7 years ago or so
[16:29] <dm04> I'm having an issue with user login startup scripts, I made a simple sh script that runs "gnome-terminal -e 'cat /home/dm/Desktop/a.log ; sleep 5'" and I ran chmod +x on it. When I log in to my user account, no terminal appears or cat output. What could be the issue?
[16:29] <aauthor> Is it OK to ask lubuntu questions here?
[16:29] <wols> aauthor: just ask
[16:29] <godlywhizken> author, yes lubuntu only has a different front end
[16:30] <godlywhizken> the core is all the same, aauthor
[16:30] <ThinkT510> potatoe: have you asked in #ubuntu-fr
[16:30] <oscalation> guntbert, thanks
[16:30] <aauthor> OK, I just did a fresh install, and everything is working great except for the sound.  I've tried doing some googling, but I haven't had any joy yet.
[16:30] <Guest80185> girlygirl, woes: on my atom n270 hd videos won't play smoothly. but i don't expect that from a netbook
[16:30] <chris__> i have a question for someone
[16:31] <godlywhizken> aauthor, did you check to see if card was supported and if it needed a driver installed(proprietary)?
[16:31] <Guest80185> girlygirl, woes: by the way the important thing is that i do not need an ati or nvidia card to do what i i want to do! :-)
[16:31] <guntbert> !ask | chris__
[16:31] <girlygirl> Guest80185: works for me but desktop effects whould be off
[16:31] <monsterr> aauthor I've had this problem once I tried many things, I just did another fresh install and it worked.
[16:31] <wols> aauthor: what soundcard?
[16:32] <Stormx2> Hey - finally got around to installing 11.04 and theres some new kind of scrollbar in certain applications (pidgin etc) that's tiny and I can only use once I mouseover and wait for some slider to appear next to it. How can I get the old scrollbars back?
[16:32] <aauthor> godlywhizken, I did check for a propriety driver with no luck.  I'm using an acer aspire 5253.
[16:32] <FZombie> or motherboard model if its onboard
[16:32] <monsterr> oh and the soundcard might not be supported :P
[16:32] <aauthor> The sound was working with ubuntu earlier this week.
[16:32] <args[0]> wols: it works thanks, it was a stupid mistake... the file i was testing on was a .html file, lol
[16:32] <girlygirl> Stormx2: Find a different gtk theme and apply it
[16:33] <Stormx2> girlygirl, already have.
[16:33] <godlywhizken> aauthor, i suggest you do another fresh install like monsterr said... if it was working earlier
[16:33] <claviusmond> i need to copy several files from several folders into a single folder, problem is they are all named by a letter of the alphabet, but the content of each file is different. Is there any command I can use NOT to overwrite files that are named the same?
[16:33] <ThinkT510> Stormx2: do you have a mouse wheel?
[16:33] <Stormx2> ThinkT510, I do
[16:33] <chris__> i am a noob so bear with me. i installed a program to read and write ntfs, well when i rebooted it would boot it says it is stuck in read only and wont boot no further.
[16:33] <godlywhizken> chiris__, you probably have to change file permissions with chmod
[16:34] <ThinkT510> Stormx2: does that work, i would have thought you wouldn't need to hover over the scrollbar
[16:34] <wols> chris__: what program exactly?
[16:34] <girlygirl> chris__: Ubuntu can r/w ntfs volumes on its own
[16:34] <balvinder25> hello people i need some help with an ipod shuffle
[16:34] <ikonia> chris__: you shouldn't need to install anything
[16:34] <zeroflag> hello everyone
[16:34] <godlywhizken> i'm out of here... idk what i'm talking about lol
[16:34] <moln> hey guys is there any way to download wubi installer for ubuntu 10.10?
[16:34] <chris__> wols i think it was like ntfs 3g or somthing like that
[16:34] <balvinder25> i cannot see as its getting detected at all in ubuntu 10.04
[16:34] <aauthor> godlywhizken, ok I'll give it a try.
[16:34] <balvinder25> its not getting detected
[16:35] <moln> apparently on the official website, I can only download the newest version
[16:35] <mrsunshine> hmm
[16:35] <chris__> but i cant get in a gui all i have is command promt and im not that good at it
[16:35] <ikonia> chris__: did you install the ubuntu desktop version ?
[16:35] <zeroflag> how would I set up ubuntu to boot from usb (currently it's booted inside a vbox, intending to use it as a rescure-system) and share files from local hdds (ntfs formated)?
[16:35] <chris__> yes
[16:35] <ikonia> chris__: has the desktop every worked ?
[16:35] <monsterr> zeroflag use pen drive linux
[16:35] <girlygirl> chris__: what did you install exactly (which was not needed to r/w ntfs)
[16:35] <monsterr> www.pendrivelinux.com
[16:35] <mrsunshine> when playing movies in totem (and probably others) the overlay lays over everything all the time, making it impossible to multitask etc what can be wrong? :/ (using catalyst driver)

[16:35] <monsterr> download a ISO
[16:35] <zeroflag> it's already on the usb-drive, I just need the samba/ntfs-setup
[16:36] <ikonia> chris__: what did you change that stopped it working ?
[16:36] <wols> ikonia: he has filesystem troubles. "read only" means / was remounted read only and then he was dumped to a console
[16:36] <ikonia> wols: ahhh, the missing part
[16:36] <moln> HEEELP I NEED WUUUBIII
[16:36] <moln> xD
[16:36] <monsterr> you need persistence

[16:36] <tyler_d> I have installed an older kernel to resolve sleep/suspend issues with s2disk, how do I add that option to grub2?
[16:36] <balvinder25> hello people i need some help with an ipod shuffle
[16:36] <balvinder25> its not getting detected
[16:36] <balvinder25> pls help
[16:36] <ikonia> moln: if you want help, ask a qestion and wait for a response
[16:37] <ikonia> !ipod | balvinder25
[16:37] <girlygirl> zeroflag: just select the usb drive when you install ubuntu be sure to select boot also on the usb disk
[16:37] <chris__> all i did was go into ntfs config and set /dev/sda1 checked to r/w  then i had to reboot for updateds
[16:37] <wols> balvinder25: have you checked your kernel log when you plug it in?
[16:37] <girlygirl> tyler_d: sudo update-initramfs
[16:37] <moln> ikonia: I asked a question
[16:37] <girlygirl> tyler_d: then sudo update-grub2
[16:37] <zeroflag> girlygirl: thanks, but it already boots from usb. I just need the ntfs/samba-setup. ;)
[16:37] <ikonia> moln: so now you wait for a response
[16:37] <moln> and 1475 people ignored it :(
[16:37] <balvinder25> how do i check it.. im new to this
[16:37] <wols> chris__: what program EXACTLY did you install? and from where?
[16:37] <moln> ikonia: yeah, but I don't think it's coming anymore
[16:37] <tyler_d> girlygirl: tyvm :) didn't realize it was that simple, I was looking for a menu.lst
[16:38] <IdleOne> moln: would you rather 1475 people all answer "we don't know" ?
[16:38] <chris__> ntfs 3g from tuxera
[16:38] <zeroflag> I want a samba/ntfs-setup that automatically mounts and shares all local drives (outside /)
[16:38] <wols> moln: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+10.10+download
[16:38] <ikonia> moln: so in that case shouting HELP does nothing but get you removed from the channel
[16:38] <girlygirl> tyler_d: You're welcome
[16:38] <tyler_d> girlygirl: I think that first one is missing a switch
[16:38] <girlygirl> zeroflag: is ntfs drive on network share?
[16:39] <zeroflag> girlygirl: no, it's local. I want to share it through samba.
[16:39] <claviusmond> if i hve several folder named the same, is there any wayI can add a number to differenciate?
[16:39] <moln> ikonia: oh ok I'm sorry…didn't mean to cause trouble or whatever
[16:39] <wols> claviusmond: mv foldername foldername2
[16:39] <girlygirl> zeroflag:  1 moment
[16:39] <wols> moln: have you seen my answer?
[16:40] <moln> wols: yes thanks but where can I find the wubi installer?
[16:40] <girlygirl> zeroflag: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/share-ubuntu-home-directories-using-samba/ and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1756575
[16:40] <claviusmond> wols, there are like 40 folders named the same, mv, if mv is move it will only rename one, wont it?
[16:40] <zeroflag> girlygirl: thank you. :)
[16:40] <balvinder25> ok wols i have the kernel log what do i need to look out for ?
[16:40] <moln> I'm just seeing like: desktop, server, netbook etc
[16:41] <girlygirl> moln: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer
[16:41] <moln> at least, in the first result
[16:41] <balvinder25> anything specific to ipod or something ?
[16:41] <girlygirl> zeroflag: You're Welcome
[16:41] <ikonia> balvinder25: did you read the links ubottu gave you ?
[16:41] <wols> moln: http://mirror2.hs-esslingen.de/releases.ubuntu.com//10.10/wubi.exe  (and any other ubuntu mirror would work too btw)
[16:41] <moln> girlygirl: I need to 10.10 version :)
[16:41] <chris__> this is the result i get "the device /dev/sda1 doesnt seem to have a valid ntfs
[16:42] <dm04> I'm having an issue with user login startup scripts, I made a simple sh script that runs "gnome-terminal -e 'cat /home/dm/Desktop/a.log ; sleep 5'" and I ran chmod +x on it and placed it in ~/.config/autostart of course. When I log in to my user account, no terminal appears or cat output. What could be the issue?
[16:42] <ikonia> chris__: remove that line from your /etc/fstab
[16:42] <chris__> how do i do that
[16:42] <ikonia> chris__: how did you put it in ?
[16:42] <wols> moln: and the bottom of the page from that downloadpage you got via my first link, there also is a wubi.exe.   Why don't you look anywhere but simply whine and complain?
[16:42] <chris__> i didnt put it in.
[16:42] <moln> wols: thank you so much man
[16:43] <ikonia> chris__: is your install a wubi install ?
[16:43] <chris__> yeah
[16:44] <Speedfx> Is there any way to use the alternate version of ubuntu with wubi?
[16:44] <claviusmond> what does rename 's/^/1_/' do?
[16:44] <ikonia> chris__: then I'm afraid I can't help you, as I don't support wubi
[16:44] <Alain_> Hello, I disabled everything in Compiz and now everything is screwed up. I saw a solution to default it, but I can't even open the terminal. Please help!
[16:45] <girlygirl> Alain_: Alt + F2 matacity --replace
[16:45] <girlygirl> edit metacity
[16:45] <tyler_d> girlygirl: btw, it is `update-initramfs -c -k <<kernel version>>(or all)` ty for the direction :)
[16:45] <Alain_> alt+d2 doesnt work. NOTHING works. I barely got into the browser
[16:46] <Alain_> alt+f2
[16:46] <claviusmond> is there a tool that does what rename 's/^/1_/' does, but not for files, but directories?
[16:46] <wols> claviusmond: directories are files too
[16:46] <zykotick9> wols, so are devices ;)
[16:46] <Alain_> girlygirl:  that doesnt work. I cant open the terminal either
[16:47] <qin> claviusmond: find . -type d ....
[16:47] <girlygirl> Alain_: using the mouse try creating a textfile
[16:47] <girlygirl> Alain_: Tell me if you manage that
[16:47] <Alain_> girlygirl:  I just created a new file.txt
[16:48] <Speedfx> Seems simply renaming the file doesnt work
[16:48] <OmegaForte> Wow, chanserv is broken.
[16:48] <girlygirl> Alain_: In the textfile (open it) and on line 1 type "metacity --replace" without quotes
[16:49] <OmegaForte> girlygirl, What, someone got an issue with their windowmanager?
[16:49] <Alain_> girlygirl:  done, what next?
[16:49] <girlygirl> Alain_:  save and close, then right click properties on the file
[16:50] <girlygirl> Alain_: first before properties rename file to text.sh
[16:50] <dr_willis> claviusmond,  find can do it with the proper optionbs/arguments..
[16:50] <girlygirl> Alain_: then in properties find an option to make file exectutable
[16:51] <Alain_> girlygirl:  done
[16:51] <girlygirl> Alain_:  http://ma65p.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/screenshot-jre-1_5_0_12-linux-i586-copybin-properties.png?w=364&h=444
[16:51] <claviusmond> rename 's/^/1_/' last seems not to work, but for i in *; do mv $i 1_$i; done did the thing
[16:51] <girlygirl> Alain_:  run the file by clicking
[16:52] <Alain_> girlygirl:  do I run it in terminal or what?
[16:52] <Guest80185> girlygirl, wols: I hope this guide is outdated because it seems that using vaapi hw acceleration with i3, i5 on linux is a mess http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=86581
[16:52] <girlygirl> Alain_: Just run it double click it
[16:52] <dr_willis> claviusmond,  i always cheat and just use 'qmv' and a text editor for bulk renaming.
[16:52] <Alain_> girlygirl:  yea, but it gives me a box with several options
[16:53] <induz> I have 1 gb USB stick i want to format is to make it bootable with Austurumi Linux
[16:53] <claviusmond> dr_willis, link? or more detalied explanation please
[16:53] <dr_willis> induz,   most of the iso-> pendrive tools will do that
[16:53] <girlygirl> what options?
[16:53] <Alain_> run in terminal, display or run
[16:53] <Alain_> girlygirl: run in terminal, display or run
[16:54] <girlygirl> Alain_:  run
[16:54] <dr_willis> claviusmond,  qmv is part of the renameutils package. with a lot of  specialized renameing tools  'man qmv' or how i normally call it -->      qmv -f do -e geany  *.txt             (for example)
[16:54] <induz> I have UNEbootin
[16:54] <me-1> hi...what is the price of latest Ubuntu version
[16:54] <dr_willis> induz,  it just needs to be a fat16 or fat32 filesystem then.
[16:54] <induz> but when I instll the OS, the USB fails to boot
[16:54] <Alain_> girlygirl:  ahh. now I can move my windows but I still dont have the taskbar or start menu
[16:54] <ThinkT510> me-1: free
[16:54] <OmegaForte> me-1, It's 199.99 in Kangaroo pelts and boomerangs.
[16:54] <makara> on 11.04: why would a dhclient timeout occur when trying to connect a to mobile broadband?
[16:54] <dr_willis> induz,  could be  a dozen issues.. none of which are really ubuntu related.. depeng on how its failing..
[16:55] <Alain_> girlygirl: terminal works now. Can I use the compiz default command?
[16:55] <girlygirl> Alain_: which version of ubuntu
[16:55] <desss> could anyone help me with dual monitors in Ubuntu, so far the other monitor acts like it is not even connected (it is plugged though) - to run some tests maybe?
[16:55] <OmegaForte> desss, Sure. Nvidia or ATI?
[16:55] <Alain_> girlygirl:  11.04 Will this solution work? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-tip-how-to-reset-compiz-settings-to-default-system-settings-from-command-line.html
[16:56] <girlygirl> Alain_: Try if it doesn;t work click the text file
[16:56] <desss> OmegaForte: nVidia as the extern one, Intel as the motherboard one
[16:56] <induz> how can i make that .iso to be on my USB drive
[16:56] <girlygirl> Alain_: let me have a look
[16:56] <girlygirl> Alain_: yes then run "compiz --replace"
[16:56] <girlygirl> Alain_: After the gide I mean
[16:57] <me-1> ThinkT510, free how...?? pirated
[16:57] <desss> OmegaForte: so far it kind of works weird, e.g. when I log out/in, the 2nd monitor "blinks" at least, normally it does not do anything, even though it is plugged
[16:57] <me-1> OmegaForte, what is that currency
[16:57] <OmegaForte> desss, Okay, you're using multi-gpu's that aren't the same. You're going to have to referr to a manpage to figure this one out.
[16:57] <OmegaForte> me-1, It's a gag. All linux is free.
[16:57] <girlygirl> Alain_: If taksbar is not there after that run "" well I don't know the command for unity I use KDE someone help me out here
[16:57] <ThinkT510> me-1: ubuntu is distrubuted under the gpl liscence
[16:58] <ThinkT510> !gpl | me-1
[16:58] <OmegaForte> Alain_, If you're having trouble with your window manager, tell me what it's doing.
[16:58] <Alain_> girlygirl: it didnt work. OmegaForte  I disabled everything in Compiz and now I dont have taskbar or start menu
[16:58] <me-1> OmegaForte, how can it be free ...its an OS
[16:58] <SexyBoBo> ok each time i boot ubuntu i have to fsck to boot it and it always has several errors. Drive is shot right?
[16:59] <Hamradio2008> My internet connection on my TV says my internet speed is 35 to 37 Mps is that good or bad???
[16:59] <OmegaForte> Alain_, did you disable compiz first?
[16:59] <desss> OmegaForte: what manpage should I read? Ubuntu installed some experimental nVidia drivers I think
[16:59] <jigg> hello guys. Im having some difficulties with gnome using laptop+monitor:
[16:59] <zykotick9> ThinkT510, saying "ubuntu" is distributed under GPL is an over-simplification, which isn't entirely true.  Much of ubuntu is GPL, but certainly not ALL of it.
[16:59] <jigg> after setting a different resolution on my monitor [1280x1024 vs 1920x1080] I end up with a desktop where my icons/panels arent proportionally aligned + a 'wallpaper on wallpaper' effect
[16:59] <Nobgul> !question | jigg
[16:59] <Alain_> OmegaForte:  I just unchecked everything in the visual effect compiz interface
[16:59] <jigg> pls have a look http://minus.com/mbe2Xw3
[16:59] <Omega> me-1: http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/why-is-it-free
[16:59] <dr_willis> induz,  if unetbootin is not wirking. the Pendrivelinux web site has a dozen+ other tools to try. Be sure the md5sum for your iso is correct
[16:59] <OmegaForte> me-1,  It's free. That's how it is.  You only need to download it.
[17:00] <KPG_> Is it possible to set up a VPN using tinc on an Ubuntu machine and then ssh into it from another machine outside of the machine's local network?
[17:01] <Alain_> girlygirl:  now I cant open the terminal again
[17:01] <me-1> OmegaForte, its amazing but i wonder how Canonical generates revenue by making a free OS
[17:01] <girlygirl> Alain_:  run the textfile again
[17:01] <me-1> wols,  I will must download and install it
[17:01] <devatwork> Hey guys, i bought a new pc and am running ubuntu 11.04. Whenever i open an app, the hard drive kicks in full (Read), and then after a few seconds app opens. The hdd is 7200rpm sata6. Why is it so slow ?
[17:01] <girlygirl> me-1: #ubuntu-offtopic for such discussions
[17:01] <Alain_> girlygirl:  I did, but the unity-shell command did not work
[17:01] <milen8204> any ideas what means the massage: the file is possibly corrupt the file header checksum does not match the computed checksum
[17:02] <Alain_> girlygirl:  it said invalid command
[17:02] <me-1> girlygirl,  as you command miss
[17:02] <wols> devatwork: hdparm -tT /dev/sda
[17:02] <girlygirl> Alain_: let me get back on you for the command
[17:02] <Alain_> ok
[17:02] <Alain_> girlygirl:  ok thanks
[17:02] <wols> Alain_: ctrl+alt+t should open a terminal
[17:03] <devatwork> wols,
[17:03] <devatwork> Timing cached reads:   23520 MB in  2.00 seconds = 11775.74 MB/sec
[17:03] <devatwork>  Timing buffered disk reads: 350 MB in  3.01 seconds = 116.13 MB/sec
[17:03] <girlygirl> What is the command that launches unity shell, like plasma is plasma-desktop and gnome 3, gnome-shell
[17:03] <OmegaForte> Alain_, So, you didn't actually Disable compiz. Ctrl+alt+T, compiz --replace | ccsm | enable basics. sudo apt-get install fusion-icon, rightclick, reload window manager.
[17:03] <wols> girlygirl: if you run unity by default, check /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager (via ls -l)
[17:03] <SexyBoBo> ok each time i boot ubuntu i have to fsck to boot it and it always has several errors. Drive is shot right?
[17:03] <OmegaForte> SexyBoBo, What's it outputting?
[17:04] <girlygirl> wols: I do not
[17:04] <wols> SexyBoBo: do you access it outside of ubuntu? e.g via ext2 driver on windows?
[17:04] <devatwork> wols, so is my hdd the bottleneck ?
[17:04] <girlygirl> wols: want to know the command
[17:04] <SexyBoBo> been loading it trhough a slax bootable drive I can access it as long as i run fsck first
[17:04] <drake01> milen8204, Possibly the file could not be downloaded successfully. checksum is a way to associate a unique id to any file based on a good enough algorithm. The bottom line is: Its always good to download a file again if checksum of original does not match that of downloaded one.
[17:04] <desss> OmegaForte: could you help me with dual monitors, what manpage should I referr to?
[17:05] <ziikutv> How do I add widgets ?
[17:05] <girlygirl> Alain_: try running "unity"
[17:05] <OmegaForte> desss, I'm not sure, since you're using two adapters. Might wanna look here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1235034
[17:06] <ThinkT510> SexyBoBo: slax is practically dead why are you running it?

[17:06] <ziikutv> "
[17:06] <OmegaForte> ThinkT510, Slax is AWESOME!
[17:06] <desss> OmegaForte: thank you I will check that
[17:06] <SexyBoBo> had it on a thumbdrive and couldn't boot to ubuntu
[17:06] <ziikutv> OmegaForte: How do I do this step on ubuntu "Takeoff can be added to your desktop via ‘Add Wigets > takeoff‘."
[17:07] <dr_willis> ziikutv,  You could use gdesklets, or the google widgits, or opera and its widgits.. or check the package manager for other desktop widgits that i may have overlooked...
[17:07] <OmegaForte> ziikutv, You need a widget manager compatible with your Window manager. If you're using unity, I can't help you. KDE. gnome and Xfce, I can.
[17:07] <dr_willis> ziikutv,  sounds like its referng to 'kde' in your  add widgits> thing'
[17:07] <Alain_> girlygirl: I accidently had to reboot
[17:07] <ziikutv> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/07/takeoff-launcher-adds-mac-launchpadslingshot-launcher-kde/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+d0od+%28OMG%21+Ubuntu%21%29&utm_content=FaceBooe
[17:07] <ziikutv> dr_willis: so how do i do this? the link i posted
[17:07] <girlygirl> Alain_: Does it work now
[17:07] <dr_willis> ziikutv,  notice the 'kde' in the url. :) its for kde..
[17:07] <Taymon> I have a TAR archive in the form of a bunch of tar-chunk.<number> files. Can I open it in Archive Manager?
[17:07] <mandrake> I'm trying to upgrade an older ubuntu server running 8.10 to something more modern, but unfortunately the do-release-upgrade process isn't working for me.  I'd like some help, but am happy to take my query to another place if it's more appropriate.
[17:07] <ziikutv> so ubuntu is gnome?
[17:08] <dr_willis> ziikutv,  you could go use kde i guess.. its very nice.
[17:08] <Alain_> girlygirl:  no. I had to run the file again to move my windows
[17:08] <dr_willis> Kubuntu = kde. ubuntu = gnome
[17:08] <ThinkT510> !eol | mandrake
[17:08] <OmegaForte> ziikutv, Ubuntu used to run gnome, now it runs unity. Unity sucks.
[17:08] <ziikutv> so I cant install this?
[17:08] <ziikutv> i have ubuntu 11
[17:08] <dr_willis> ziikutv,  if you were using the KDE desktop.. you could
[17:08] <OmegaForte> ziikutv, You'll have to use gnome, or KDE.
[17:08] <ziikutv> how do i know wha tim using
[17:08] <dr_willis> ziikutv,  install the kubuntu-desktop package. about 400mb download.
[17:08] <girlygirl> Alain_: "sudo apt-get install fusion-icon"
[17:09] <ziikutv> hmm so currently im on unity?
[17:09] <dr_willis> ziikutv,  the login screen has a menu that you change desktops from..
[17:09] <dr_willis> !unity
[17:09] <mandrake> ThinkT510: yes, I've already tried this method, but it doesn't seem to actually retrieve the jaunty.tar.gz file properly.
[17:09] <ziikutv> hmm i like unity better
[17:09] <OmegaForte> ziikutv, Well just log out, select your user, look at the bottom of the screen, and choose Ubuntu classic in the user interface list.
[17:09] <ziikutv> i like the curent interface tho
[17:10] <OmegaForte> ziikutv,  Most people who run linux as their main OS tend to hate unity. It took away alot of the useability of the operating system. But to each their own I guess.
[17:10] <dr_willis> ziikutv,  then you find some other  widgits to play with i guess.
[17:10] <Alain_> girlygirl:  what next?
[17:10] <ziikutv> thanks
[17:10] <mandrake> ThinkT510: http://paste.ubuntu.com/655753/
[17:10] <OmegaForte> Alain_, So, you didn't actually Disable compiz. Ctrl+alt+T, compiz --replace | ccsm | enable basics. sudo apt-get install fusion-icon, rightclick, reload window manager.
[17:10] <dr_willis> the whole 'widgit/applets on the desktop'   thing seems to have been a passing fad. :)
[17:10] <OmegaForte> Repost
[17:10] <ThinkT510> mandrake: jauny is also eol, i think it may be easier for you to do a fresh install
[17:11] <girlygirl> Alain_: run fusion-icon
[17:11] <milen8204> drake01, Thanks but I tried to reinstall my OS and it crashes every time
[17:11] <mandrake> I'd prefer not if possible, I have quite a lot set up here.
[17:11] <milen8204> what should I do ?\
[17:11] <Alain_> girlygirl: OmegaForte: Where is the icon?
[17:11] <OmegaForte> Alain_, You have to run it from Alt-F2 or from Applications, system
[17:11] <girlygirl> Alain_: done?
[17:12] <girlygirl> Alain_: The icon is in the system tray (don't know what gnome calls it
[17:12] <drake01> milen8204, Did you download iso and burned it on usb or compactdisk and then installing or Did you get already prepared disk.
[17:12] <OmegaForte> girlygirl, It's called Notification Area.
[17:12] <girlygirl> Alain_: Like the xp taskbar part that gives balloon popups
[17:12] <Alain_> OmegaForte:  alt+f2 does not work. girlygirl: I dont have the system tray  :(
[17:12] <girlygirl> Alain_: Notification Area Thanks OmegaForte
[17:13] <OmegaForte> Alain_, Okay, Ctrl-alt-t
[17:13] <OmegaForte> Alain_, Just run it from there.
[17:13] <girlygirl> Alain_: Control + ALT + T
[17:13] <girlygirl> Alain_: terminal should show
[17:13] <Alain_> OmegaForte:  girlygirl: what do I write in the terminal?
[17:13] <OmegaForte> Alain_, Pick one of us. I'm getting confused.
[17:14] <girlygirl> fusion-icon
[17:14] <girlygirl> Alain_: fusion-icon
[17:14] <Taymon> Can anyone hear me? I think there might be something wrong with my client.
[17:14] <Alain_> girlygirl:  now 75% of my screen is grey, nothing else happened

[17:15] <tyler_d> I'm trying to upgrade using a ppa but using sudo add-apt-repositor then apt-get update does not show in the list? am I missing something?

[17:16] <Alain_> girlygirl:  what do you think?
[17:16] <milen8204> drake01, How to burn the iso on USB
[17:16] <girlygirl> Alain_: I have a solution unistall compiz get back to default then instal compiz and set up
[17:17] <girlygirl> Alain_: actually OmegaForte 's suggestion
[17:17] <Alain_> girlygirl:  ok. How do we do this?
[17:17] <thefinn93> Tyler__, it's apt-add-repository not add-apt-repository
[17:17] <girlygirl> Alain_: restart in failsafe mode
[17:17] <girlygirl> Alain_: drop to root shell prompt
[17:18] <drake01> I think I didn't get your problem. Could u please rephrase the issue you are having?
[17:18] <drake01> milen8204,  I think I didn't get your problem. Could u please rephrase the issue you are having?
[17:18] <girlygirl> Alain_: done?
[17:19] <Grav> Sometimes flash videos on web are visible on all windows and desktop. Is there a way to fix it? I mean every black color displayed is turned into transparent and it's showing some flash video. Even if the video was closed.
[17:19] <tyler_d> thefinn93: either works
[17:19] <Alain_> girlygirl:  hmm. how do I get into failsafe mode and root shell prompt? :/
[17:19] <destinydriven> I need some clarification on this: here is a line from my /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch  0:DIS: :Pwr:0000:01:00.0
[17:19] <destinydriven>  . Does this mean that this card is still powered on?
[17:19] <tyler_d> thefinn93: however tried that as well and still doesn't show
[17:19] <milen8204> drake01,  I shut down my computer and in the morning it coulden`t start
[17:19] <girlygirl> Alain_: at grub select recovery mode
[17:19] <milen8204> and the massage : "the file is possibly corrupt the file header checksum does not match the computed checksum" appeared
[17:20] <Alain_> girlygirl: isnt it just as easy to reinstall ubuntu at this point?
[17:20] <ThinkT510> Grav: using nvidia?
[17:20] <girlygirl> Alain_:  no its a simple fix
[17:20] <Grav> ThinkT510: yes
[17:20] <root_____> hello
[17:20] <Alain_> girlygirl:  where do I find grub?
[17:20] <girlygirl> Alain_: or in terminal ctrl ALT + T
[17:21] <drake01> milen8204,  Ok, so how did you install ubuntu again? What did you use to install it?
[17:21] <ThinkT510> Grav: what version of ubuntu, what version of nvidia?
[17:21] <girlygirl> Alain_: type sudo apt-get purge compiz
[17:21] <girlygirl> Alain_: you follow me
[17:21] <milen8204> drake01, I didnt install it again I just tried but it crashes every time
[17:21] <Alain_> girlygirl:  now the grey screen cover the text file and I cant get into terminal :(
[17:22] <girlygirl> Alain_:  CTRL + ALT + T, then sudo apt-get purge compiz
[17:22] <Alain_> girlygirl:  terminal doesnt work
[17:22] <milen8204> I tried to install I had a disk and use the disk
[17:22] <girlygirl> Alain_: when you boot ubuntu do you see a place labeled Ubuntu Linux XX kernel
[17:22] <Grav> ThinkT510: Ubuntu 10.10 32bit,  Nvidia Driver verison 260.19.06
[17:23] <ThinkT510> Grav: any updates in the update manager?
[17:23] <Alain_> girlygirl: tell me how to make that file so I can access terminal?
[17:23] <ThinkT510> Grav: what version of flash too?
[17:24] <drake01> milen8204, ok when you try to install, it crashes with the message that file is corrupt and checksum does not match....  Another ques, what did you use while trying to install ubuntu again?
[17:25] <Alain_> why cant ubuntu make a highest performance setting. This is hell!
[17:25] <Grav> ThinkT510:  How do i check flash version?
[17:25] <Alain_> girlygirl:  what do I do now? Things are only worse now
[17:25] <io> !version | Grav
[17:25] <milen8204> drake01, CD whit Ubuntu
[17:25] <milen8204> 10.10 i think
[17:25] <ThinkT510> Grav: i suppose you could check the plugin in what browser you use
[17:26] <girlygirl> Alain_:  Reboot while pressing ESC. Then you will can an option Select ubuntu recovery mode, then select drop to root shell, the login, then type "apt-get purge compiz", then type "init 6" it will reboot, . everything should be fine, if it isn't run my textfile and it will work
[17:26] <alex--> I can't connect to my router, when it's connecting it says after some time: offline
[17:26] <Alain_> girlygirl:  i need to write that down. 2 sec
[17:27] <drake01> milen8204, It seems the some of cd's files are corrupt. So, If you have access to good enough internet, I would suggest you to download the ubuntu iso from ubuntu.com? If you don't then reply so again
[17:27] <bailey_> ok who r u
[17:28] <OmegaForte> bailey_, Who is what how?
[17:28] <alex--> I can't connect to my router, when it's connecting it says after some time: offline. How to fix this?
[17:28] <zykotick9> Grav, http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
[17:28] <girlygirl> bailey_: WHat do you mean who are you
[17:28] <Alain_> girlygirl: ok.  Left click on the network icon in your notification area, and see if you have any connections.
[17:29] <drake01> milen8204, You may try gettin another cd also, if you can.
[17:29] <rww> bailey_: #ubuntu is the technical support channel for Ubuntu Linux.
[17:29] <alex--> i see my network in the list OmegaForte
[17:29] <OmegaForte> bailey_, This is the Ubuntu help IRC channel. If you're here, and running ubuntu/Debian, we can help you.
[17:29] <rww> OmegaForte: no, Ubuntu. #debian is for Debian help.
[17:29] <ikonia> only ubuntu
[17:29] <ikonia> not ubuntu debian
[17:29] <OmegaForte> alex--, Okay, connect to it, (wifi I'm assuming) and configure the information.
[17:30] <ThinkT510> Grav: you made sure you're fully updated via the update manager?
[17:30] <OmegaForte> rww, I know enough raw debian to help with that too.
[17:30] <Grav> ThinkT510: There are updates for system too but i don't like them, they tend to break everything:/
[17:30] <rww> OmegaForte: feel free to do so in the correct channel, then :P
[17:30] <alex--> OmegaForte: when i connect the icon goes up and down up and down, and after some time it says: Disconnected
[17:30] <ThinkT510> Grav: what updates are listed?
[17:30] <ThinkT510> Grav: updates are designed to fix things
[17:31] <ThinkT510> Grav: can you see a flash or nvidia update in the update manager list?
[17:32] <Alain_> girlygirl:  that did not work. I did not get any options. it jsut booted
[17:32] <induz> I have a USB that is formated as  FAT type...I have an iso iamge of a linux How can i burn that ISO to the usb and make the linux bootbale
[17:32] <girlygirl> Alain_:  1 sec
[17:32] <Rafase282> hello

And it takes more and more space everytime. I'm using flashaid for firefox to update flash. Flash from updates never worked ok.
[17:32] <alex--> OmegaForte: now it's disconnected
[17:32] <girlygirl> What is the key to show grub prompt if it auto boots?
[17:32] <ikonia> induz: you do'nt want to try booting from fat, put a linux file system on it
[17:32] <ikonia> !install | induz
[17:33] <ThinkT510> Grav: then i can't help you
[17:33] <Alain_> girlygirl:  one more chance and I am reinstalling this non user friendly system
[17:33] <ikonia> induz: that link will explain how to make a boot USB
[17:33] <OmegaForte> alex--, Are the drivers installed?
[17:33] <Grav> ThinkT510: Np i understand.   I am trying to get an HP Mini 1000 to recognize the built in wireless device, but am having troubles with it.  I was working until today.  The operating system is Ubuntu 11.04.  What are the proper trouble shooting procedures for repairing this issue?
[17:35] <StevenR> Technicus: has it worked previously with 11.04 ?
[17:35] <faizul> hello, any ubuntu members here ?
[17:35] <OmegaForte> faizul, No, we're all monkies.
[17:35] <girlygirl> Alain_: Its a simple problem actually, reinstall have patience, you will soon get used to ubuntu, we are all like that at fist
[17:36] <girlygirl> Alain_: Please use proper language though
[17:36] <ThinkT510> girlygirl: he left, but yeah, he needed patience
[17:36] <faizul> hello
[17:36] <rww> faizul: best to just ask your question and see if anyone responds
[17:37] <faizul> any ubuntu members can help me regarding planet.ubuntu.com using bzr ?
[17:37] <Alain_> girlygirl:  one more chance. give me that link again
[17:37] <girlygirl> Alain_: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/show-the-grub-menu-by-default-on-ubuntu/
[17:37] <girlygirl> ThinkT510: lol tested my patience, a quality that I fortunatelty have
[17:37] <induz> I have UNEbootin
[17:37] <girlygirl> Alain_: please wait let me correct that
[17:37] <rww> faizul: have you read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PlanetUbuntu ?
[17:37] <induz> how can I use UNEbootin to make my usb bootable with .iso file
[17:38] <faizul> rww, yes. but now im outside, need someone to help me
[17:38] <drake01> milen8204, You mean after downloading? You may burn the iso obtained on a removable usb or cd by following explained on http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[17:38] <faizul> rww, im not using my machine right now
[17:38] <destinydriven> I have 11.04 installed on hp pavilion dv7t-6100 and I want to totally disable radeon card cuz its draining battery. I have tried suggestions here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1803056 but it seems nothing has changed. Can someone point me in the right direction?
[17:38] <ikonia> induz: read the link ubottu gave you
[17:38] <girlygirl> Alain_: same 1st instructions but shift instead of ESC sorry my mistake
[17:38] <rww> faizul: You need to be using the machine that has your ssh key on it to do this.
[17:38] <induz> why my usb is not getting recognized by UNEbootin
[17:38] <lcb> hi. someone who understands 'sane', please help me on this. i keep getting "Plustek OpticSlim M12" as my scanner when what i have is a "Iriscan Express 2".  in  /etc/sane.d/gtxx.conf i have: usb 0x07b3 0x045f // override "plustek-opticslim-m12" //  firmware "/usr/share/sane/gt68xx/cism216.fw"
[17:39] <Alain_> girlygirl:  ok. will try
[17:39] <faizul> rww, yes i know, that is why im asking somebody to help me using his ssh keys
[17:39] <Grav> Ubuntu is fine I like it more than W7 too, only if it didn't crash as often a W98 and could play flash videos without problems:P
[17:39] <OmegaForte> Grav, What do you mean, crash...
[17:40] <rww> faizul: oh, I see. PM me the name you want, a link to the hackergotchi you want, and the syndication URL
[17:40] <milen8204> drake01, I will try but i don't think that is the CD problem
[17:40] <ThinkT510> Grav: if you don't trust the updates how do you expect it to work?
[17:42] <Grav> I was using updates for 2 years, and everytime i had to pray there would be no new problems after restart. So I stopped updating it few months ago.
[17:44] <ThinkT510> Grav: and now here you are with new problems
[17:44] <drake01> milen8204, Try to search for other solutions then.
[17:44] <gridbag> What package is -lXmu in?
[17:44] <destinydriven> in /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch can I change 1:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0 to 1:IGD:+:Off:0000:00:02.0 to disable my radeon card?
[17:45] <zykotick9> gridbag, that "-lXmu" looks like parameters, more then a program/package
[17:45] <ikonia> that is a compiler trying to link agtainst a library
[17:46] <zykotick9> gridbag, but "apt-cache search lxmu" does give lxde as a result
[17:46] <Alain_> girlygirl:  did not work
[17:46] <mooperd> hello, I cant get xforwarding to work : (etherape:6979): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[17:46] <Alain_> girlygirl:  I did everything as stated, it uninstalled but did not work
[17:46] <OmegaForte> Alain_, I think I'll be handling this from here. Tell me exactly what is happening now.
[17:46] <mooperd> x11 appears to be running
[17:46] <zykotick9> mooperd, are you using "ssh -X host"?
[17:46] <girlygirl> Alain_: now ctrl + ALT + T metacity --replace
[17:46] <Grav>  ThinkT510: I had this problem months ago, but it only happens once in few weeks. it's not that serious i can just restart.
[17:46] <mooperd> zykotick9: yes
[17:47] <zykotick9> mooperd, is X forwarding configured on your ssh server?  and are you connecting from a gnu/linux client?
[17:47] <kamidi> Grav: Aren't you even curious if lates updates could fix your problem? :)
[17:47] <DDoS> i'm still in the streets, still not lovin' police
[17:47] <Alain_> girlygirl:  it only got worse. Give OmegaForte  a chance
[17:47] <Alain_> OmegaForte:  help me
[17:48] <Grav> OmegaForte: It fills 2GB memory fast and then freezes or chrashes. It happenens always no matter if i use swap or not
[17:48] <girlygirl> OmegaForte: you're up . I guess
[17:48] <Alain_> OmegaForte:  I have no start menu and no taskbar
[17:48] <mooperd> zykotick9: connecting from OSX (It usually just works) and X forwarding is allowed in ssh_config
[17:48] <ThinkT510> Grav: if i didn't update i would still be having the problem you have with flash and nvidia
[17:48] <alex--> !webmin
[17:48] <OmegaForte> Alain_, How did you break X?
[17:48] <induz> should yhe USB be formatted as w95 FAT32
[17:48] <mooperd> zykotick9: usually, it just works
[17:48] <zykotick9> mooperd, sorry can't help then.  (you need Xorg installed on OSX though)
[17:49] <induz> its getting recognized on Ubuntu but not on UNEtbootin
[17:49] <mooperd> ya, I have Xorg
[17:49] <Alain_> OmegaForte:  I installed Compiz to deactivate all visual effects. I unchecked every box possible in the compiz interface and it left me with a desktop with no buttons or bars
[17:49] <OmegaForte> Alain_, Tell me what you were doing when all this started happening.
[17:49] <Grav> kamidi: No way. It never happened for you that updates would break something or stop you from login to system for a day?
[17:50] <dr_willis> Alain_,  you mean you installed 'ccsm'  to tweak compiz settings..  And of course, that is to be expected sometimes
[17:50] <Alain_> dr_willis:  true. but how do I get everything back to default?
[17:51] <OmegaForte> Alain_, In compiz, some functions have to be on, so you have a loaded window manager. You need to apt-get install compiz-fusion ccsm compiz-fusion-plugins; and go back into ccsm and enable the following. Place Windows window Decorators Move windows resize windows and all of the image renders.
[17:51] <kamidi> if you use only stable ppas and don't install any other software, you should be fine in most cases. there aren't any guarantees though
[17:51] <girlygirl> Alain_: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/
[17:51] <Gasseus> How do I get into the grub boot menu?
[17:51] <Grav> kamidi: I don't think this should be expected:)
[17:51] <girlygirl> Alain_: all settings will go but
[17:51] <induz> please help me...how can i make this usb as bootable...its formatted as w95 FAT 32
[17:52] <dr_willis> Alain_,  run 'metacity --replace' to get  a useable desktop for starters
[17:52] <kamidi> Grav: i mean if you're using some "bleeding edge" stuff, it is common that those might include updates which causes probelms
[17:52] <stephenmac7> Hello, I just got an Acer Aspire 5253-BZ602 (Uses AMD APU) and it seems that Ubuntu does not recognise the internal microphone.
[17:52] <girlygirl> induz: what do you want to boot on it
[17:52] <ikonia> induz: I have told you the issues
[17:52] <ikonia> induz: please read the link ubottu sent you, and don't use fat
[17:52] <induz> I used diskUtilities to format the USB
[17:52] <dr_willis> induz,  i doubt if the 'format' is the issue.. its how the tools are putting the ISO on the usb
[17:52] <induz> they told me to use FAT 32
[17:52] <ikonia> induz: who is they ?
[17:52] <girlygirl> induz: ubuntu live?
[17:52] <Alain_> ok, one at a time. OmegaForte  first
[17:52] <Alain_> OmegaForte:  I will try that
[17:52] <OmegaForte> Alain_, In compiz, some functions have to be on, so you have a loaded window manager. You need to apt-get install compiz-fusion ccsm compiz-fusion-plugins; and go back into ccsm and enable the following. Place Windows window Decorators Move windows resize windows and all of the image renders.
[17:53] <induz> yes I want to make a USB live
[17:53] <stephenmac7> So, it seems that lots of people have had issues with it
[17:53] <dr_willis> induz,  since it was not a Ubuntu ISO. YOu should  check that disrtos homepage. You may  be able to just 'dd' the iso to the flash drive to make a bootable flash.
[17:53] <ikonia> induz: who is they ?
[17:53] <argos-void> i have the iso image of ubuntu 64 bits version: i can write it to a pendrive with dd?
[17:53] <induz> on the forum
[17:53] <stephenmac7> In the Arch wiki it said that there were issues
[17:53] <dr_willis> argos-void,  no you can not.. dd does not work with ubuntu isos *yet*
[17:53] <ikonia> induz: what forum
[17:53] <induz> thsi forum
[17:53] <fmauro> hi all: has anyone tried installing ubuntu on the new sandy-bridge macbook-air models? I'm thinking about buying one, but only if it works smoothly (to some degree at least)
[17:53] <Grav> kamidi: right, those can cause problems.
[17:53] <stephenmac7> Also in the ubuntu wiki
[17:53] <argos-void> with arch worked *sigh*
[17:54] <dr_willis> argos-void,  use some of the tools from pendrivelinux, or the ubuntu live disk creator tool.
[17:54] <induz> I am new and learning so be patient
[17:54] <dr_willis> argos-void,  thats arch... not ubuntu.
[17:54] <Alain_> OmegaForte:  ok, the command worked. What now?
[17:54] <ikonia> induz: ok, so please use the link ubottu gave you
[17:54] <arch_is_awesome> So...
[17:54] <ikonia> induz: that has instructions on what to do
[17:54] <ikonia> !install > induz
[17:54] <ikonia> induz: ubottu has just re-pm'd you the link
[17:54] <arch_is_awesome> Anyone>
[17:54] <arch_is_awesome> *?
[17:54] <ikonia> arch_is_awesome: anyone what?
[17:54]  * argos-void thinks the same as arch_is_awesome
[17:54] <arch_is_awesome> Know about the internal mic
[17:55] <arch_is_awesome> in the Acer Aspire line
[17:55] <arch_is_awesome> And why it is not recognized
[17:55] <OmegaForte> Alain_, Okay. Go into ccsm. Enable the following. Place windows, window decoration, ALL of the image render plugins, composite, gnome compatibility
[17:55] <zykotick9> arch_is_awesome, do you mean to be in #ubuntu?
[17:55] <induz> if u r just pointing me to the links from Ubuntu then what is the point of coming here and asking for help
[17:55] <rww> oh for pete's sake
[17:55] <arch_is_awesome> This isn't #ubuntu?
[17:56] <rww> zykotick9, ikonia: 17:52 < stephenmac7> Hello, I just got an Acer Aspire 5253-BZ602 (Uses AMD APU) and it seems that Ubuntu does not recognise the internal microphone.
[17:56] <argos-void> arch_is_awesome: yes
[17:56] <mrNotYou> arch_is_awesome: this is #ubuntu
[17:56] <rww> zykotick9, ikonia: then they nicked to arch_is_awesome.
[17:56] <desss> hi, can anyone help me to set up dual monitors in Ubuntu 11.04, I got these two video cards: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2582] (rev 04)
[17:56] <desss> 05:04.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] [10de:002d] (rev 15)
[17:56] <ikonia> induz: because you are supposed to read them and follow the instructions, then if there is a problem ask for help
[17:56] <Alain_> OmegaForte:  Im getting picked up now. I dont have time. I dont have a usable desktop so I cant get into ccsm
[17:56] <Alain_> OmegaForte:  I have to go
[17:56] <Obfuscation> induz: because most people fail to google it first, which is far easier than sitting in IRC waiting for someone to have some time to help?
[17:56] <rww> zykotick9, ikonia: Note 1) the question being asked, 2) them specifically mentioning Ubuntu
[17:56] <ikonia> induz: people have written those instructions for you to use
[17:56] <ChesterX> hi, i got a western keybord (qwertz) and would like to write chinese caracters with it (basically write in ping yin and get automatically converted). What do I have to install/look for to enable it?
[17:56] <Alain_> OmegaForte:  I will just reinstall ubunti
[17:56] <OmegaForte> Alain_,  Yeah, that'll be faster
[17:56] <argos-void> ubuntu*
[17:56] <xangua> ChesterX: on keyboard preferences
[17:57] <induz> I googled and tried to make this USB with DISKPART yestaerday but it failed so i came here for suggestions
[17:57] <arch_is_awesome> So, no one has any information on it?
[17:57] <girlygirl> OmegaForte: So reinstall then wink:
[17:57] <ikonia> induz: you don't need to google, I have given you a link detialing how to do it
[17:57] <mrNotYou> Arch_is_awesome: Sorry, I just joined the channel. What exactly is your question?
[17:57] <ikonia> induz: read the link ubottu gave you, it has instructions
[17:57] <induz> if I can just read and follow the instaructions, i dont need a college and teacher I might as well just read a book
[17:58] <arch_is_awesome> mrNotYou: I'm having issues with the internal mic on my Acer Aspire 5253-BZ602
[17:58] <ikonia> induz: ok, then we are done here
[17:58] <project> is there any backtrack channels
[17:58] <arch_is_awesome> mrNotYou: It seems that Ubuntu has no idea it's even there
[17:58] <ctmjr> read a book, what a concept
[17:58] <ikonia> project: #backtrack-linux
[17:58] <rww> project: #backtrack-linux
[17:58] <Obfuscation> induz: isn't that what happens more time then not in school? you read the chapters assigned?
[17:58] <arch_is_awesome> What's backtrack based on?
[17:58] <rww> project: and to answer the inevitable next question:
[17:58] <fmauro> bump: ubuntu on new sandybridge macbook air. has anyone got this setup already?
[17:58] <rww> !register | project
[17:58] <ChesterX> xangua, thank you. I saw that the ping yin is installed by default. I am also looking for japanese caracters (katagana, hiragana, kanji). How can I add those?
[17:59] <induz> how u r taking me granted for not reading the links
[17:59] <ikonia> induz: because you said you hadn't
[17:59] <arch_is_awesome> Oh... ubuntu
[17:59] <ikonia> or suggested you hadn't
[17:59] <mrNotYou> arch_is_awesome: Okay, go to Applications -> Sound + Video > Recording Level monitor
[17:59] <induz> I am reading it and trying to learn the steps
[17:59] <ikonia> induz: ok - so read the links, if there is a step you're not clear about, please ask
[17:59] <mrNotYou> arch_is_awesome: Im currently on my mac so the titles of menus might not be exactly as I tell them to you but they're somewhat the same
[18:00] <induz> the link says to format using Gparted...now gparted is asking me many types i dont know about theose version of fomat
[18:00] <arch_is_awesome> mrNotYou: I'm on unity and for some reason cannot find it
[18:00] <ikonia> induz: ext4
[18:00] <arch_is_awesome> mrNotYou: I see it
[18:01] <destinydriven> can someone help with switching off radeon card on hp pavilion dv7t. It has intel i915 which I wanna use and radeon 6770 which I wanna turn of totally
[18:01] <arch_is_awesome> There is one: Internal Analog Audio
[18:01] <mrNotYou> arch_is_awesome: Okay. Try to speak into your mic. It probably wont show anythign happening though right? Cause you said it wouldnt recognise it. But try again just to make sure before we proceed
[18:01] <arch_is_awesome> mrNotYou: Nothing.
[18:01] <arch_is_awesome> It has no idea that I'm speaking
[18:02] <fmauro> right, next topic then: Are there any ubuntu sparkleshare users around?
[18:02] <mrNotYou> arch_is_awesome: Okay. Is your volume adjusted btw? Right-click on the volume icon in the notification area and select open Volume Control.
[18:02] <arch_is_awesome> fmauro: Isn't that still in alpha?
[18:02] <induz> it says error reading the file system
[18:03] <induz> error creating File system
[18:03] <fmauro> arch_is_awesome: it very well may be. altough it's working nicely so far. my question is regarding the nautilus integration
[18:03] <ikonia> induz: what does ?
[18:03] <ikonia> induz: please try to be specific
[18:03] <mrNotYou> arch_is_awesome: Once you're there, make sure that the microphone sliders near are near the top and that the small microphone icon does not have a red cross on it
[18:03] <induz> /dev/sdg1 is mounted  disk Utilities
[18:03] <arch_is_awesome> Incoming is 100%
[18:03] <ikonia> induz: unmount it then
[18:03] <arch_is_awesome> Outgoing is all the way to the Right
[18:03] <ikonia> induz: close that application and unmount it if needed
[18:04] <destinydriven> ping
[18:04] <mrNotYou> arch_is_awesome: Does the mic icon have a red cross on it?
[18:04] <induz> is unmount =eject
[18:04] <ikonia> induz: that should work
[18:04] <arch_is_awesome> I'm in sound preferences and I don't see a mic with a red cross
[18:04] <arch_is_awesome> Then again, if I mute it I don't see it either
[18:05] <arch_is_awesome> By the way, I'm on a machine that the menu, etc. Are in spanish.
[18:05] <mrNotYou> Okay. Lets try something else then.
[18:05] <arch_is_awesome> Okay.... isn't there that CLI application called alsa-something
[18:06] <mrNotYou> Yes, when I had a problem with my volume people told me about this application called something like also, I'm not exactly sure how to operate it though
[18:06] <mrNotYou> Let's try something else
[18:06] <arch_is_awesome> alsamixer
[18:06] <arch_is_awesome> Okay.
[18:06] <mrNotYou> In the volume control panel, go to Edit -> Preferences
[18:06] <mrNotYou> Did you find that?
[18:06] <girlygirl> I I compile the kernel myself enabling only what I need while configuring, would there be any perfomance benefit?
[18:07] <arch_is_awesome> Nope.
[18:07] <mrNotYou> What did you not find?
[18:07] <arch_is_awesome> I've got (in sound preferences) a bunch of tabs
[18:07] <arch_is_awesome> not edit menu
[18:07] <arch_is_awesome> *no
[18:07] <mrNotYou> Isn't the Volume Control panel different from the Sound Preferences one?
[18:07] <ikonia> girlygirl: no
[18:07] <th0r> girlygirl: you would see a small perf improvement. The big diff would be the size of the kernel
[18:08] <arch_is_awesome> I don't seem to have a volume control panel
[18:08] <ikonia> girlygirl: you'd have no performance benifit and you'd lose community support
[18:08] <th0r> ikonia: not into benchmarks? <smile>
[18:08] <mrNotYou> sorry, as I've already told you I'm currently on my mac and i'm trying to remember how the things are
[18:08] <arch_is_awesome> Are you on Ubuntu 11.04?
[18:08] <girlygirl> ikonia: th0r , thanks
[18:08] <ikonia> th0r: ha
[18:08] <mrNotYou> Yes
[18:09] <balvinder25> hello all, ubuntu 10.04 is unable to detect ipod shuffle
[18:09] <balvinder25> need help
[18:09] <ikonia> balvinder25: did you read the links ubottu has given you 4 times ?
[18:09] <alex--_> i cant get my brother dcp-115c printer working
[18:09] <alex--_> i cant get my brother dcp-115c printer working
[18:09] <balvinder25> i have already read "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone"
[18:09] <balvinder25> but this didnt resolve
[18:09] <asher^> hello. im having an issue with cronjobs. i have 3 set on different users across 2 machines. only one is working. they are all in the format 0 1 * * * /path/to/script.sh All of the scripts when run manually work fine. does anyone know what could be causing the issues, or if there is an error log for this somewhere?
[18:09] <ikonia> !ipod
[18:09] <arch_is_awesome> Okay then...
[18:10] <ikonia> balvinder25: read the others
[18:10] <mrNotYou> arch_is_awesome: Okay, I've googled something for you. About the alsamixer. Go in the console and type "alsamixer"
[18:10] <arch_is_awesome> Did already and got...
[18:10] <mrNotYou> Then make sure that the Mic option is high/max
[18:10] <balvinder25> chee thanks
[18:10] <arch_is_awesome> only one option
[18:10] <arch_is_awesome> S/PDIF
[18:11] <arch_is_awesome> No mic option
[18:11] <arch_is_awesome> S/PDIF was at '0'
[18:11] <mrNotYou> Only one option?
[18:11] <arch_is_awesome> Yup
[18:11] <mrNotYou> That can't be right
[18:11] <arch_is_awesome> But the speakers work...
[18:11] <mattalexx> I'm trying to use the gconftool-2 to set Gnome's font to "Sans 12" from a script. I'm following this: http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/gconf-9.html.en
[18:11] <mrNotYou> What about the Master etc?
[18:11] <arch_is_awesome> Nope, none
[18:11] <mattalexx> Can someone please take a look at my command and error? http://pastebin.com/sLmnVavt
[18:13] <mrNotYou> That's strange. Maybe there's something wrong with your sound card. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with sound card configuration but we can try one more thing just to make sure we've exhausted our options
[18:13] <arch_is_awesome> I pushed F6 and got two options for the speakers to configure. I pushed the second (the internal speakers, not the HDMI)
[18:13] <mrNotYou> Go again in Sound Preferences and tell me the options it has
[18:13] <arch_is_awesome> I then got: 'Master', 'PCM', and 'Beep'
[18:13] <arch_is_awesome> Okay, I will.
[18:14] <rww> mattalexx: try prepending sudo to that command
[18:14] <rww> mattalexx: (sudo gconftool-2...)
[18:14] <arch_is_awesome> (I'm translating into english so it may not be perfectly the same)
[18:14] <arch_is_awesome> Sound Effects
[18:15] <arch_is_awesome> Hardware
[18:15] <arch_is_awesome> Entrance/Incoming
[18:15] <arch_is_awesome> Exit/Outgoing
[18:15] <arch_is_awesome> Applications
[18:15] <mrNotYou> Do you have 2 main tabs? Devices and Sounds?
[18:15] <arch_is_awesome> No, I have only those tabs
[18:16] <mrNotYou> Nothing about Devices?
[18:16] <arch_is_awesome> Hardware?
[18:16] <mrNotYou> Maybe it's that
[18:16] <project>  i am getting problems with opencv
[18:16] <mrNotYou> Yes, go on that and tell me what it says
[18:16] <project> how to configure opencv in ubuntu
[18:16] <arch_is_awesome> Internal Audio
[18:16] <mattalexx> rww, Hm, I did that and it worked. Thanks. But why would I need to become root to change my own settings?
[18:16] <arch_is_awesome> 1 Enterance/1 Exit
[18:17] <rww> mattalexx: that command doesn't change your own settings, it changes the systemwide settings
[18:17] <arch_is_awesome> Something Analog
[18:17] <arch_is_awesome> Duplex
[18:17] <mrNotYou> Does it say anything about maybe Sound Capture?
[18:17] <rww> mattalexx: (that's what the --config-source option does)
[18:17] <arch_is_awesome> That's incoming
[18:17] <arch_is_awesome> The tab:
[18:17] <Prejudice> Any able to help me fix a boot problem I have?
[18:17] <mattalexx> rww, Oh, I see.
[18:17] <mrNotYou> The incoming, does it allow you to choose something?
[18:17] <mrNotYou> Does it have an ALSA option?
[18:18] <arch_is_awesome> Only one option
[18:18] <arch_is_awesome> Internal Audio
[18:18] <mrNotYou> Oh
[18:18] <mrNotYou> Then I'm afraid I don't know any other ways to assist you, sorry
[18:18] <arch_is_awesome> One second...
[18:19] <mrNotYou> But I believe that there may be a problem with the way your sound card has been configured, perhaps you could re-configure it but unfortunately I don't know how to help you with that.
[18:19] <rww> arch_is_awesome: can you use the return key less, please? In #ubuntu, we try to keep things on fewer lines because the channel's busy :)
[18:19] <mattalexx> rww, What would be the version of that command to change just my settings?
[18:19] <arch_is_awesome> Okay then, rww. I have a screenshot of it: http://i.imgur.com/WHDzc.png
[18:19] <arch_is_awesome> (Sorry, it's in spanish)
[18:20] <rww> mattalexx: you ran that gconftool-2 command with sudo already, right?
[18:20] <Avinash_Sonawane>  First encounter with IRC. I am in great need of IRC commands and everything about IRC. Please help.
[18:21] <rww> mattalexx: (if so, you'll need to unset it first, hence me asking)
[18:21] <mrNotYou> arch_is_Awesome: i'm sorry I don't know what else I can suggest
[18:21] <djskidd> They say tonight, the Linux Penguin Fairy comes around
[18:21] <aaas> anyone ever get great speeds and resolution using vnc to control another comptuer (e.g. headless server)?
[18:21] <mattalexx> rww, Yes, I have.
[18:21] <mattalexx> rwn Found it: gconftool-2 --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_font --type string "Sans 8"
[18:21] <mrNotYou> Avinash_Sonawane: Although we'd like to help you tThis isn't really the place to find out more about IRC
[18:21] <arch_is_awesome> Avinash_Sonawane: This should help: http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/irctutorial.html
[18:21] <unomi> erm.. how can I resize a window with alt+rightdrag ?
[18:22] <Rafase282> can anyone help me with some usb problem?
[18:22] <aaas> mattalexx: what kind of resolution?
[18:22] <djskidd> If you were good, you may find a new Ubuntu or Debian disc under your pillow
[18:22] <unomi> I just get the window menu
[18:22] <mrNotYou> Avinash_Sonawane: Perhaps you could ask in #freenode
[18:22] <Prejudice> Not able to boot back into Windows 7 after installing Natty, any help?
[18:22] <Rafase282> I get this message when trying to safetly remove one
[18:22] <djskidd> If not, he installs Red Hat on your computer
[18:22] <unomi> Prejudice: you were already helped.
[18:22] <rww> mattalexx: okays, two steps. step one: sudo gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --unset /desktop/gnome/interface/font_name
[18:22] <Rafase282> http://pastebin.com/33RV8qBc
[18:22] <Prejudice> unomi: I was?
[18:22] <Prejudice> o_O
[18:23] <unomi> Prejudice: if you can't boot into windows, sure ;)
[18:23] <drake01> Hey Guys, Please have a look at this blog-post of mine about ubuntu n comment: http://xperiencegnulinux.blogspot.com/2011/07/manage-ubuntu-without-active-internet.html
[18:23] <arch_is_awesome> So, it seems that the whole computer has no idea the actual microphone is there
[18:23]  * unomi ducks
[18:23] <rww> mattalexx: step two: gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/font_name name "Sans 12"
[18:23] <Prejudice> haha
[18:23] <Prejudice> >_>
[18:23] <rww> mattalexx: sorry, step two: gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/font_name "Sans 12"
[18:23] <arch_is_awesome> :(
[18:23] <girlygirl> Prejudice: in terminal "sudo apt-get update-grub2"
[18:23] <unomi> Prejudice: on a more serious note - did you ensure to install Natty side by side - it didn't wipe your disk?
[18:23] <rww> drake01: Please don't advvertise in here.
[18:23] <mrNotYou> I'm sorry, arch_is_awesome :(
[18:24] <rww> girlygirl: that's not a valid command, perhaps you mean sudo update-grub?
[18:24] <Prejudice> unomi: Yeah its still here, I have it mounted
[18:24] <arch_is_awesome> The thing is, I'm setting this up for someone else who wants to use video chat.
[18:24] <arch_is_awesome> According to the Arch wiki it's a kernel issue
[18:25] <OmegaForte> arch_is_awesome, Have you tried skype for video chat?
[18:25] <girlygirl> rww: no on ubuntu karmic and latter you need the two, else it makes as if it works but does not
[18:25] <Prejudice> girlygirl: update takes no arguments
[18:25] <arch_is_awesome> That's what I'm trying to get working.
[18:25] <rww> girlygirl: that's incorrect
[18:25] <arch_is_awesome> The sound recorder does not work
[18:25] <OmegaForte> arch_is_awesome, Driver not working?
[18:25] <george_> rww, wait what does sudo update-grub do?
[18:25] <girlygirl> Prejudice: exact commands "sudo update-grub2"
[18:26] <arch_is_awesome> OmegaForte: I don't have a driver, seems to be a Kernel issue
[18:26] <mattalexx> rww, I got an error until I added a type: gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/font_name --type string "Sans 12"
[18:26] <OmegaForte> arch_is_awesome, Acer I think it was?
[18:26] <rww> george_: updates the GRUB configuration for your system
[18:26] <ikonia> girlygirl: you do not need the two
[18:26] <girlygirl> rww: Oh I put apt by mistake got it
[18:26] <unomi> Prejudice: I am a grub / loader noob, but you may want to try to install StartUp-Manager and see if you can modify it there
[18:26] <rww> mattalexx: ah, yes. forgot about that
[18:26] <rww> girlygirl: Yup. But still, update-grub works fine regardless of GRUB version :)
[18:26] <george_> rww, updates as in the what? if you edit the config files, isn't it already updated?
[18:26] <arch_is_awesome> OmegaForte: Acer
[18:26] <OmegaForte> arch_is_awesome, What's the model number?
[18:26] <unomi> Prejudice: what happens when you boot btw? It just boots straight to ubuntu or the menu item doesnt work o?
[18:27] <girlygirl> ikonia: rww : i could have sworn it malfunctioned sometimes
[18:27] <arch_is_awesome> OmegaForte: AS-5253-BZ602
[18:27] <ikonia> girlygirl: it doesn't
[18:27] <arch_is_awesome> The one with the AMD APU
[18:27] <OmegaForte> arch_is_awesome, I like you already. The right number, the right time.
[18:27] <arch_is_awesome> OmegaForte: I was looking at the sticker :)
[18:27] <rww> george_: There are two sets of configuration files for GRUB2 in Ubuntu. One of them is the actual GRUB2 configuration, which is generated by scripts and shouldn't be edited because edits will be overwritten periodically. The other lives in /etc/default/grub and somewhere else I forget and configures the aforementioned scripts.
[18:28] <Prejudice> I ran "sudo update-grub" but it couldn't find /boot/grub/menu.lst so I had it autogenerate one
[18:28] <destinydriven> hey guys, is it safe to do something like this? http://paste.debian.net/124698/
[18:28] <ikonia> destinydriven: that's not a command
[18:28] <unomi> Prejudice: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1657134
[18:28] <girlygirl> Prejudice: check if it works on reboot, it should, if it doesn't then try the 2
[18:29] <drake01> rww, Just thot the post would be helpful to people beginning with ubuntu.
[18:29] <LABcrab> Hey people!  i am REALLY having difficulties with Ubuntu!  Wwhen i use an USB Internet stick, it works on one laptop but not the other!  Can someone help me fix this please?
[18:29] <ikonia> Prejudice: do not
[18:29] <Prejudice> unomi: When I boot, I get 5 options: Ubuntu, Ubuntu(recovery), memtest, memtest(recovery), Windows 7
[18:29] <destinydriven> ikonia: how do I really turn of the discrete radeon graphics card
[18:29] <Prejudice> when I choose windows 7, it just loops back to grub
[18:29] <rww> drake01: Regardless, #ubuntu is for asking and answering technical support questions only :)
[18:29] <ikonia> destinydriven: what are you actually suggesting you do (what command)
[18:29] <Cerrdor> Something is going wrong, I right click an exe and choose to open it in wine and there is a window on the task bar says opening and then it closes and the program never runs
[18:30] <OmegaForte> Cerrdor, You're gonna have to go to the wine support form/channel for that.
[18:30] <destinydriven> ikonia: I'm not sure but it seems that Pwr means to power on the card in that file. I'm guessing off will turn it off at boot
[18:30] <Cerrdor> yupp they all died
[18:30] <OmegaForte> arch_is_awesome, I think that's the realtek 8128 audio chipset?
[18:30] <ikonia> destinydriven: ok
[18:30] <ikonia> destinydriven: that seems a reasonable assumption
[18:30] <unomi> Prejudice: check /boot/grub/grub.cfg and check if it is pointing to the right partition?
[18:30] <george_> rww, hmm slightly confusing why /etc/default/grub can't just be manually edited and why sudo update-grub needs to be run, but whatever I never make any changes to grub
[18:30] <Rafase282> can someone help me with usb flash drive problems?
[18:30] <arch_is_awesome> So...
[18:31] <chewey> OK, I'm out of ideas: My fathers machine is affected by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/636311 despite running a brand new Natty and havong applied the updates from the PPA that's supposed to help ( https://edge.launchpad.net/~raof/+archive/aubergine )
[18:31] <destinydriven> ikonia: I'd also like to know how to blacklist the radeon card
[18:31] <chewey> Any other ideas?
[18:31] <girlygirl> Prejudice: If you have  win7 disk, you can boot it and select start up repair in recovery options, then boot windows, install an app called easybcd then use it to add entry for ubuntu
[18:31] <brickwall> Now I am a brick wall! Okay... so OmegaForte, any ideas?
[18:31] <rww> george_: /etc/default/grub can be maunally edited. That's the configuration file for the scripts that generate the configuration files for GRUB2.
[18:31] <ikonia> Prejudice: do not do that
[18:31] <chewey> FTR, the bug is "left mouse button is ignored".
[18:31] <OmegaForte> brickwall, I'm gonna see if you need a rebuild for a new driver.
[18:31] <ikonia> Prejudice: please digregard what girlygirl is telling you
[18:31] <brickwall> Thank you ;)
[18:31] <Prejudice> k
[18:32] <ikonia> Prejudice: if it's booting in a loop, there is either a problem with the windows partition, or your grub menu is looking at the wrong partition
[18:32] <mattalexx> What's a command that will reload all gnome settings?
[18:32] <rww> george_: The workflow is roughly as follows: 1) You edit /etc/default/grub 2) You run sudo update-grub 3) update-grub reads /etc/default/grub and also does autodetection of the OSes on the computer and a bunch of other stuff, 4) update-grub writes the actual GRUB2 configuration in /boot/
[18:32] <girlygirl> ikonia: why?
[18:33] <george_> alright quick question: how do admins get windows to allow logging in with any user account on the network and how would I go about doing that on linux?
[18:33] <Prejudice> I havent touched the partition since I installed ubuntu, and I can see all the files from ubuntu, so Id guess its looking in the wrong place
[18:33] <brickwall> george_: I'm pretty sure they use LDAP, but I may be wrong
[18:33] <fabiobik> Hi guys can someone help me? my website was hacked... http://gatinhamolhadinha.pt.vu/  what can i do? call police?
[18:33] <ikonia> girlygirl: do you really think the action to fix a grub error is to remove it as a boot loader, put easyboot loader on to boot windows and boot grub via another boot loader ?
[18:33] <george_> rww, alright, so update-grub is essentially reading your edited configurations and generating special grub files?
[18:33] <ikonia> fabiobik: that's not something we can help you with, this is buuntu support
[18:33] <rww> george_: Active Directory on Windows. For Ubuntu, see LDAP and kerberos.
[18:33] <przemo_rex> Hi people. I'm about to build a server for ip routing and data storage. I need to ask you what is the cheapest cpu that can be used with ddr3 memory
[18:33] <bipin> mattalexx, i would suggest to backup .gconf & .gnome and logout and login back
[18:33] <rww> george_: pretty much
[18:33] <fabiobik> ikonia well its on ubuntu server
[18:34] <girlygirl> ikonia: for me yes research it grub can break windows update when on mbr, vista sp1 wouldn't install for people because of that
[18:34] <ikonia> fabiobik: doesn't matter, it's nothing to do with this channel
[18:34] <Rafase282> how can I make a copy of a usb flash drive to another of bigger size?
[18:34] <ikonia> girlygirl: you are talking utter nosense
[18:34] <george_> rww, alright thanks for the explanation
[18:34] <ikonia> girlygirl: grub cannot and does not break windows updates
[18:35] <OmegaForte> brickwall, The driver set isn't supported. I'm trying to find a specific chip id for your audio, maybe there's a known workaround.
[18:35] <girlygirl> ikonia: update for bootloader happens rarely http://apcmag.com/vista_sp1_wont_install_on_dualboot_systems_microsoft.htm
[18:35] <george_> I've run dual boot before, grub never affected windows updates
[18:35] <ikonia> girlygirl: that is nosnense
[18:35] <brickwall> OmegaForte: Thank you so much!
[18:35] <unomi> przemo_rex: most likely VIAs Nano
[18:35] <unomi> przemo_rex: but are you sure you are asking the right question?
[18:35] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Do you have windows on it? If you can, send me a CPUZ text dump on pastebin.
[18:35] <TimmyT1> how to use xmpp/jabber to login into yahoo?
[18:36] <girlygirl> ikonia: please don't say I talk utter nonsense just experience google vista sp1 grub you wil get tons of results like that , I experienced it myself
[18:36] <Prejudice> paste of bootinfoscript: http://pastebin.com/6u6YSLTx
[18:36] <ikonia> girlygirl: I'm aware of it, and it is utter nonsense as an issue, it is simple to apply the windows mbr to resolve the issue and re-apply grub
[18:36] <przemo_rex> unomi: more precise: cpu is supposed to be i386, how about the via?
[18:37] <unomi> przemo_rex: I do hope you mean x86?
[18:37] <przemo_rex> unomi: yeap
[18:37] <unomi> in that case, yes the Nano is a x86 chip
[18:38] <girlygirl> girlygirl: until the next update when you need your "workarround" not fix anyway lets just drop it
[18:38] <OmegaForte> girlygirl, Talking to yourself again, eh?
[18:38] <ikonia> girlygirl: no, as it's bad advice
[18:38] <przemo_rex> unomi: is it posible to buy it in store?
[18:38] <brickwall> OmegaForte: Nope, deleted it yesterday :P
[18:38] <ikonia> girlygirl: putting easy boot cd will put that on the MBR and the vista update will fail with that
[18:38] <unomi> przemo_rex: depends on the store.
[18:38] <ikonia> girlygirl: the guy isn't even using vista, so suggesting easybootcd on this reason is nonsense
[18:39] <unomi> przemo_rex: VIA has pretty much been sidelined in the consumer market
[18:39] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Okay.  Lemme test something. Do you have wine installed?
[18:39] <brickwall> No. Want me to install it?
[18:39] <OmegaForte> brickwall, No, not yet.
[18:39] <unomi> przemo_rex: on the other hand, they have a fairly large following in the mini-itx / embedded market
[18:39] <brickwall> OmegaForte: Okay then.
[18:39] <cryptodira> i have just upgraded 10.10 to current..... in the process, i no longer have the ability to resize windows from any edge/corner..... there is now a grab icon in the lower right corner, but only on some windows.... how can i revert to the pre update behaviour??
[18:40] <OmegaForte> cryptodira, Do you run compiz?
[18:40] <przemo_rex> unomi: I'm searching for the price, no luck so far
[18:40] <Prejudice> Going to try a reboot now, after running sudo update-grub
[18:40] <Prejudice> Ill report in in a bit
[18:40] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Okay, if I vanish, I broke it.
[18:40] <cryptodira> OmegaForte, yes, some aspects of it.
[18:40] <OmegaForte> cryptodira, You may need to rebuild the conf for it. Just reconfigure your setings in the manager.
[18:40] <brickwall> OmegaForte: Broke what?
[18:41] <joepa> how do I get windows to appear on an external display in natty/unity? I'm dragging the window to the side of screen0 where screen1 is supposed to start, and instead of appearing on screen1, the window goes into full screen mode on screen0
[18:41] <joepa> ideas?
[18:41] <cryptodira> OmegaForte, roger that, i will give it a try..... Thank You!
[18:41] <OmegaForte> brickwall, I'm seeing of CPUz runs in wine. It shouldn't, but it's an idea.
[18:42] <brickwall> Oh, I see.
[18:42] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Well, just like I thought, it doesn't work.
[18:42] <unomi> przemo_rex: http://www.nettopreview.com/2011/05/zotac-to-launch-tiny-via-nano-x2-powered-nettop/ - you could try to contact zotac
[18:42] <brickwall> Okay then.
[18:42] <dr_willis> joepa:  you can disable that feature of compiz to tile the window when drug to the side.
[18:42] <Vinicius> hellpo
[18:42] <unomi> przemo_rex: are you looking for a full box or just a mobo + cpu combo?
[18:42] <brickwall> OmegaForte: By the way, thanks for the awesome support :D
[18:42] <cstrahan> Has anyone had success installing GNU Smalltalk on Ubuntu (11.04)? I've compiled v3.2.4 from source, but `gst-browser' is nowhere to be found...
[18:43] <dr_willis> joepa:  multi monitor support in unity is a little on the flakey side.  I dont even have a 2nd monitor now to test it out.
[18:43] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Uh, dmesg | grep -i audio
[18:43] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Tell me what you see.
[18:43] <unomi> http://hothardware.com/News/Zotac-Introduces-Nano-X2Powered-MiniPC-At-Computex/
[18:43] <unomi> this actually looks pretty sexy
[18:43] <OmegaForte> brickwall, I'm probably the only gunsmith Pc tech.
[18:43] <wsagent> is there any networkmonitoring application for ubuntu ?
[18:43] <unomi> oh if only it had 2 ethernet slots
[18:44] <brickwall> OmegaForte: No results
[18:44] <wsagent> is there any networkmonitoring application for ubuntu ?
[18:44] <brickwall> Like I said earlier, it's like it's not there.
[18:44] <brickwall> wsagent: Yes, system monitor
[18:44] <unomi> wsagent: you need to be more specific about what you are looking for
[18:45] <przemo_rex> unomi: mobo + cpu. support for at least 4 sata's, up to 8GB DDR3, you think that nano would do
[18:45] <unomi> wsagent: there are tons of network monitoring apps for linux
[18:45] <brickwall> For incoming and outgoing speeds there is that.
[18:45] <unomi> przemo_rex: I don't see any reason why not.
[18:45] <o0o0> wsagent: nethogs
[18:45] <OmegaForte> brickwall, gimme three to figure something out.
[18:45] <wsagent> unomi can you name some of them
[18:46] <unomi> przemo_rex: again though, are you asking the right question? Why do you want ddr3 specifically?
[18:46] <brickwall> OmegaForte: Okay. I just wanted to say that it's as if the mic isn't there.
[18:46] <wsagent> thanks o0o0
[18:46] <george_> rww, ldap and kerberos allow logging into any linux account within a network?
[18:46] <brickwall> george_: Yes, they do.
[18:46] <o0o0> np
[18:46] <LABcrab> Hello everyone!  i am experiencing lots of frustrating difficulties with Ubuntu!  One laptop lets me use a 3G Modem with no problem.  However, the other won't!  i have to do everything - restart the laptop, unplug the stick, replug the stick, uncheck and recheck "Activate network", killall nm-applet, put the laptop to sleep, and still won't work except one time only!  Help please!
[18:47] <george_> brickwall, alright, I'll take a look, thanks.
[18:47] <brickwall> LDAP seems to be the better choice
[18:48] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Try dmesg | grep -i snd
[18:48] <george_> brickwall, yeah cause I've seen how companies I've worked at allow you to log into any account you want from any computer in the network and I always wondered how it was done
[18:48] <brickwall> Right LDAP is a network directory
[18:49] <Crash03> dad
[18:49] <brickwall> Then you can also use thin clients which is a completely different deal.
[18:49] <OmegaForte> brickwall, OH BABY! Here's what you need to do, brick. lspci -v | less, and look for antyhing that's missing.
[18:49] <Crash03> what is the best linux to use with rallink usb wlan?
[18:49] <wsagent> unomi can you name some of them
[18:49] <unomi> wsagent: netstat
[18:50] <unomi> jnettop
[18:50] <george_> brickwall, another question you may know, is there anyway to use the mail command to send mail within the network, because it doesn't seem to be able to send e-mails to accounts on gmail
[18:50] <Crash03> do you know the web site i could download from
[18:50] <unomi> wsagent: and any of the plethora of packet sniffing programs that are out there
[18:50] <Sivik> anyone use mangler here?
[18:50] <Crash03> im new
[18:50] <Sivik> It should be the repos but it is not there.
[18:50] <brickwall> Send mail from inside the network to outside the network?
[18:51] <LABcrab> Hello everyone!  i am experiencing lots of frustrating difficulties with Ubuntu!  One laptop lets me use a 3G Modem with no problem.  However, the other won't!  i have to do everything - restart the laptop, unplug the stick, replug the stick, uncheck and recheck "Activate network", killall nm-applet, put the laptop to sleep, and still won't work except one time only!  Help please!
[18:51] <unomi> LABcrab: are you putting the stick in the right way up?
[18:51] <unomi> LABcrab: what do you see in dmesg when you plug it in?
[18:51] <Crash03> im new to linux and have rallink wlan usb what linux should i use that has th support for it
[18:52] <LABcrab> unomi: Not sure.  Let me debug.
[18:52] <OmegaForte> brickwall, run this command. lspci -v | grep -i snd
[18:52] <brickwall> OmegaForte: I got an audio device made by ATI
[18:52] <george_> Crash03, most should have it, I remember using Backtrack with an ralink wireless usb adapter for wep cracking
[18:52] <OmegaForte> brickwall, I need to see the actual name, so type it all out for me.
[18:53] <Crash03> every one i have tried dont work
[18:53] <Crash03> i have ubuntu install but running win 7 for internet
[18:53] <brickwall> OmegaForte: eduardo@Aspire-5253:~$ lspci -v | grep -i snd Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel
[18:54] <brickwall> I put that into one line... now for the other one...
[18:54] <Crash03> and i dont know how to ompile a driver
[18:54] <OmegaForte> brickwall, You're running the HDA chipset from Realtek, just like me. You shouldn't be having an issue....
[18:54] <brickwall> One second...
[18:54] <LABcrab> unomi: PM
[18:55] <Crash03> some one tell me how to get ralink wlan usb working in ubuntu polease
[18:55] <brickwall> It's giving me two audio devices in lspci
[18:55] <brickwall> Then again, one could be the HDMI
[18:56] <OmegaForte> brickwall,
[18:56] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Run this. wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh
[18:56] <unknownhost> Hi, i get indicator with ! in triangle, and i can't update the pc because it is writen that W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/iaz/ppa/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found
[18:56] <unknownhost> how to solve that problem?
[18:56] <george_> is it possible to send mail to another computer on your network?
[18:57] <girlygirl_> Crash03:  See this article http://www.eracc.com/content/how-use-ndiswrapper
[18:57] <Crash03> yes
[18:57] <Captainkrtek> anyone know of a high level python audio library (beside pyaudiere)
[18:57] <girlygirl_> Crash03: 32 bit ubuntu or 64 bit ubuntu?
[18:57] <Captainkrtek> just go generate simple tones
[18:57] <Captainkrtek> to*
[18:58] <brickwall> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=3455e05fb7f42c786c34fc67204f4cb5093d2fa9
[18:58] <OmegaForte> brickwall, It sees the port, but doesn't see a mic.
[18:59] <Crash03> do i do this all in terminal
[18:59] <brickwall> Right, there is a port for it.
[18:59] <brickwall> But there is also an internal mic at the top next to the webcam
[18:59] <OmegaForte> brickwall,  That's probably part of the webcam itself.
[18:59] <K350> I've the memory card for my camer in the computer. But it doesn't mount. How do I find the device name so I can mount it my self?
[18:59] <brickwall> It's a little tiny whole next to the camera
[19:00] <OmegaForte> K350, System, Administration, Disk untility
[19:00] <OmegaForte> brickwall,  Yeah, It's probably part of the webcam's PCB. Part of the webcam.
[19:01] <brickwall> So, how do I get it cranking?
[19:01] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Do you see two devices for mics in pulse-config?
[19:01] <brickwall> No, I don't.
[19:01] <cockintopussy> hi
[19:01] <OmegaForte> brickwall,  Then likely, if it's part of the webcam, the driver is missing things; or isn't installed right.
[19:01] <cockintopussy> i need help
[19:01] <goddard> in 11.04 how can i install 64 bit flash?
[19:01] <OmegaForte> Can we get rid of that guy?
[19:01] <rww> cockintopussy: Your nick is not acceptable for this channel. Change it, please.
[19:01] <Crash03> girlygirl where do i get the wrapper
[19:01] <brickwall> OmegaForte: I didn't install a driver
[19:02] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Well, THERE'S YOUR PROBLEM!
[19:02] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Haha...Check out Jockey-gtk to see if it's listed.
[19:02] <Ryuguns> This is freenode, right?
[19:02] <brickwall> Nope, it's not.
[19:02] <rww> Ryuguns: yes

[19:06] <DASBHGHUJGBVGDUB> sorry
[19:06] <DASBHGHUJGBVGDUB> sorry
[19:06] <OmegaForte> brickwall,  In sound prefs.
[19:06] <girlygirl_> rww: DASBHGHUJGBVGDUB matches the one OmegaForte was just discussing about

[19:08] <Guest16914> Hi!  Can someone help me with writing a .desktop file to autorun at startup to reassign CapsLock as another Control button?
[19:08] <DASBHGHUJGBVGDUB> okay super
[19:09] <rww> Guest16914: which desktop environment are you using?
[19:09] <Guest16914> LXDE
[19:09] <DASBHGHUJGBVGDUB> first
[19:09] <DASBHGHUJGBVGDUB> i hate this shi*
[19:09] <ikonia> DASBHGHUJGBVGDUB: control your language
[19:09] <DASBHGHUJGBVGDUB> but if i maximise windows with desktop wall and compiz
[19:09] <DASBHGHUJGBVGDUB> they change their workspace
[19:09] <rww> Guest16914: ah, never mind, then. was wondering if it was KDE or GNOME as they have easier ways of doing that :|
[19:09] <fairuz> Change to ubuntu classic then
[19:09] <auronandace> !classic | DASBHGHUJGBVGDUB
[19:09] <OmegaForte> DASBHGHUJGBVGDUB, Right. Watch this. Log out, look down after you select your username, choose "Ubuntu classic" in the list.
[19:09] <OmegaForte> DASBHGHUJGBVGDUB, Right. Watch this. Log out, look down after you select your username, choose "Ubuntu classic" in the list.
[19:10] <Guest16914> Yeah, I wouldn't be writing one if it was KDE or GNOME.
[19:10] <Teltaria1> Hello.  A while back, I added a Gnome 3 repo and upgraded to Gnome 3 to try it out, but it didn't work so well, so I had to attempt to revert back to the standard installation.  But any attempt to 'apt-get install --reinstall gnome-desktop-environment' returns a bunch of things with Apt insists 'is not going to be installed'
[19:10] <Teltaria1> What's the standard approach to a problem like this?
[19:10] <rww> Teltaria1: ppa-purge
[19:10] <eoss> goddard: will you be around, im going to have questions..tryingt o work through this dhcp.conf file right now
[19:11] <auronandace> !gnome3 | Teltaria1
[19:11] <Teltaria1> rww: thank you
[19:11] <Teltaria1> ubottu: understood
[19:12] <eoss> :(
[19:12] <italoxp> Good afternoon, everybody.
[19:12] <mrsunshine> hmm, unity bar wont disapear sometimes when i do not hover over it, why ? :/
[19:12] <OmegaForte> mrsunshine, It's unity, that's why.
[19:12] <mrsunshine> heh :P
[19:12] <f3lipe_> Hey guys, how do I choose between ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, or Edubuntu?
[19:13] <italoxp> First:do you need Edubuntu?
[19:13] <OmegaForte> God I'd hope not.
[19:13] <auronandace> f3lipe_: try them and decide what you prefer
[19:14] <f3lipe_> OmegaForte: that's what I'm asking, I'm not too sure what each of them is needed for you know?
[19:14] <italoxp> Edubuntu is a niche version of Ubuntu
[19:14] <italoxp> I guess you don't need, or you woldn't be asking ; )
[19:14] <italoxp> But between Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Kubuntu, it's personal choice
[19:14] <italoxp> Ubuntu uses GNOME, Xubuntu uses XFCE and Kubuntu uses KDE
[19:14] <italoxp> If you are more familiar with GNOME, use Ubuntu, and so on
[19:14] <FloodBot1> italoxp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:14] <italoxp> I lagged >.<
[19:14] <OmegaForte> f3lipe_, Well, ubuntu's easymode. I'd stick to it unless you want KDE, then you'd want kubuntu.
[19:14] <Teltaria1> auronandace: thanks
[19:14] <auronandace> f3lipe_: they simply use different desktop environments by default
[19:14] <f3lipe_> Perfect. Thank you guys for the help!
[19:14] <OmegaForte> f3lipe_, No Probalo.
[19:14] <italoxp> f3lipe_, if you don't know what you want, go for Ubuntu
[19:15] <auronandace> Teltaria1: no worries :)
[19:15] <italoxp> f3lipe_, the others are there for people who know what they want ;)
[19:15] <f3lipe_> Gotcha :)
[19:15] <f3lipe_> Now to continue trolling the forums to fix my nvidia driver problem :S
[19:15] <ikonia> please don't
[19:15] <OmegaForte> f3lipe_, You're having Nvidia issues?
[19:15] <italoxp> f3lipe_, we can help you here
[19:15] <OmegaForte> f3lipe_, I love fixing Nvidia Issues.
[19:15] <italoxp> f3lipe_, it's a support channel
fix my nvidia issue it is showing activated but not in use
[19:16] <eoss> goddard: ive got a dlink router, can i hook up my client and server to it and just let it hand out info or do i need to configure dhcp on the machine giving out the OS
[19:16] <f3lipe_> Ohh I didn't know that! That's awesome. I'm gonna reload Ubuntu real quick then ( i broke something) and I'll be right back :)
[19:16] <f3lipe_> Thanks guys!
[19:16] <OmegaForte> jiltdil, It's running fine. It's just lying. Jockey tends to lie.
i know it ..i only want to fix that line
 force jockey to tell the truth
[19:17] <jiltdil> :)
[19:18] <OmegaForte> jiltdil, Well, it's a known bug in 11.04
[19:18] <OmegaForte> jiltdil, Just prune it until it looks like zen, then huck it on the roof for a few hours. And you're done.
[19:18] <LABcrab> Hello!  How do i turn off the fake CD drive on my 3G stick and turn on the 3G modem?
[19:20] <pmoo> LABcrab: try to eject it: if it shows on /dev/sr0, try 'eject /dev/sr0'
[19:20]  * jiltdil jockey is also an underwear brand lolz hahahha...funny name
[19:20] <phill> how do I get my openvpn windows config file transferred into ubuntu/linux world?
[19:20] <LABcrab> pmoo: Now it works, but sometimes it does not, and i don't want to reboot it just yet, lest it breaks.
[19:21] <pmoo> LABcrab: yes, same here. Normally ubuntu ejects it automatically... but not always. So when I'm bored to wait, I just eject manually :)
[19:21] <jiltdil> LABcrab: use eject -r
