[14:31] <minimec> skilz: If using a GUI you might have conflict with an eventually loaded nm-applet. maybe 'killall nm-applet' first.
[14:36] <herkupus> skilz: please put the output of "iwlist wlan0 scan" on pastebin
[14:40] <gulzar> using fdupes I go this on terminal- Set 1 of 6666, preserve files [1 - 2, all] (12968 bytes each):  and cursor is blinking. What to do? I issued this- fdupes -S -r /media/Data.
[14:41] <skilz> Sorry guys I forgot to mention, I want to use Window Maker and Fluxbox so I need to do it in the console
[14:42] <dr_willis> skilz,  i recall some guides showing the exact commands to connect via the terminal commands.. but ive not done it that way in agezx.
[14:42] <dr_willis> you an run nm-applet in flusbox/windowmaker if you wanted to

[14:44] <dr_willis> you did run the dhclient after connecting?
[14:44] <ticky> does anyone have any problem with libappindicator?
[14:45] <dr_willis> ticky,  thats a little vague.. what sort of issue are you having exactly?
[14:45] <ticky> dr_willis: apt hangs on "Removing libappindicator0.1-cil from Mono"

[14:50] <claviusmond> I have been trying to get hel in the kde channel, but nobody seems to care, so I turned here: using kradio I have the following error message: V4LRadio::radio_init: Cannot open radio device /dev/radio0
[14:52] <dr_willis> is the module loaded for your radio? does that device exist?
[14:53] <claviusmond> is kde invite only?
[14:55] <gumbo> I can't mount my main partiton, it says: 'mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda5, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.'
[14:55] <gumbo> any help?
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> gumbo: you may need to fsck the partition when it is unmounted
[14:55] <gumbo> right now it is unmounted, I'm on  a live cd
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> cool
[14:56] <gumbo> It tells me the superblock or the partition table may be corrupted
[14:57] <ticky> dr_willis: any ideas?

[14:59] <Bl4Ck0uT>  in my openbox install the text in facebook textboxes are not shown
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> Bl4Ck0uT: as all users?
[15:03] <gumbo> any idea of what to do now?
[15:04] <Verlino> spierdalam
[15:06] <Mike1> „unable to enumerate USB device on port 2“ I get lots of these messages, is it a problem?
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> Mike1: try the device in a different port
[15:08] <sgo11> hi, which package do people install, vim-gnome or vim-gtk? I know I only need to choose one of them and vim-gnome based gnome lib and vim-gtk based on gtk lib. just wondering which one do people choose? thanks.
[15:08] <BluesKaj> Mike1, run lsusb to see which device it is
[15:09] <Mike1> ActionParsnip, BluesKaj: I have no device connected, which leaves the internal camera of the netbook as only USB device
[15:09] <fonzie> sgo11: -gnome would be most appropriate of you're using gnome -gtk if you are running kde
[15:10] <sgo11> fonzie, thanks. I guess unity is based on gnome. so I should choose -gnome then.
[15:11] <BluesKaj> Mike1, is the camera listed as a usb device ?
[15:12] <Mike1> BluesKaj: no
[15:13] <fonzie> sgo11: either will probably work.  And the packages will pull in all the libraries they need.
[15:13] <sgo11> fonzie, sure. thanks. just chose vim-gnome. :)
[15:14] <Bl4Ck0uT>  in my openbox install the text in facebook textboxes are not shown
[15:14] <BluesKaj> Mike1, does the camera work ok ? If so then the message could be irrelavent
[15:15] <Mike1> BluesKaj: no it’s not working, which is no wonder considering that lsusb does not eve nlist it
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> Bl4Ck0uT: does it happen as all users?
[15:16] <lcb> hi. could you please, someone, help me on this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/636920/
[15:16] <NicoRotolo> join #ubuntu-it
[15:16] <NicoRotolo> sorry
[15:17] <Mike1> BluesKaj: let me try some stuff
[15:18] <kisuke> ubottu lies.
[15:18] <BluesKaj> Mike1, not all builtin cameras use the usb setting altho some do , run lshw and check for it
[15:18] <kisuke> and i can prove it, just check the gnome factiod.
[15:18] <Bl4Ck0uT> I mean i can type and everything but the text is not ina a visible color both the box and the text are white
[15:19] <Mike1> BluesKaj: oh noes, now it hangs at boot time (before bootloader, during POST) at “Initializing USB Controllers”
[15:19] <bazhang> kisuke, whats the issue
[15:19] <James____> how do you install ubuntu on vmware esxi Allocate and commit space on demand (Thin Provisionin . Disk is 500 gig , in fdisk I set 256, but vmware allows it to go bigger. So lets say it goes to 400 gb how to fdisk know it?
[15:19] <Mike1> BluesKaj: I remember that I had this problem long ago allready and had to open the Netbook and unplug the BIOS battery -.-
[15:20] <kisuke> bazhang: as of natty, gnome is no longer installed my default, its ubiquity, it might keep it on an upgrade, but wont install it on a new install.
[15:20] <MrBushido> whats the name of the conf file thats like /etc/resolv.conf but for ports? :<
[15:20] <Mike1> BluesKaj: so I guess it’s kind of a hardware problem
[15:20] <bazhang> kisuke, ubiquity is the name of the installer (live mode)
[15:20] <skilz> Im having trouble with wicd, it just hangs on 'Getting  IP'. 'Connection failed, unable to get IP address.'
[15:20] <BluesKaj> ok Mike1 ..seems you know more about it than me so ......
[15:20] <kisuke> bazhang: excuse me i mant unity.
[15:21] <bazhang> kisuke, if you dont like unity choose classic
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> Bl4Ck0uT: fine, but does it affect all users or is it just yours?
[15:21] <bazhang> !classic | kisuke
[15:21] <Bl4Ck0uT> yes all users
[15:21] <Soothsayer> How easy it is to switch desktop environments?
[15:22] <kisuke> dont work if it not there. < has used it in the past, to switch betewenn gnome, KDE and lxde (dont ask)
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> Bl4Ck0uT: what is the output of:  lsb_release -d
[15:22] <Soothsayer> I'm not liking the entire Unity usability .. and especially it has nothing for a dual monitor setup. I'd like to try out something else. Any recommendations?
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer: log off, select desktop, log in
[15:22] <bazhang> Soothsayer, very easy. choose at login window after installing kubuntu-desktop for example
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer: lxde :)
[15:22] <wildc4rd> afternoon all!
[15:22] <wohnpal> I am trying to format a HDD I have using mkisofs using kde 11.04... however mkisofs oder mkisofs.ext4 is not installed, how can that be? #
[15:22] <kisuke> Soothsayer: gnome and KDE are the two big ones.
[15:22] <wohnpal> I thought it was part of the standard linux programs
[15:22] <skilz> Soothsayer: Easy as 1,2,3.
[15:23] <kisuke> bazhang: dont work if it not there. < has used it in the past, to switch betewenn gnome, KDE and lxde (dont ask)
[15:23] <Soothsayer> great... any recommendations for something that's better suited for dual monitor ?
[15:23] <Bl4Ck0uT> just the os
[15:23] <bazhang> kisuke, classic is there in 11.04
[15:23] <Soothsayer> I mean, even Windows 7 has better taskbar capabilities and with 'Ultramon', I get a perfect taskbar on my second conitor
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> wohnpal: don't you mean mkfs.ext4 ?
[15:23] <Soothsayer> monitor*
[15:23] <skilz> Soothsayer: Gnome
[15:24] <kisuke> bazhang: not on my machine for some reason, unless ubiquity SNAFUd.
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> Bl4Ck0uT: do you use effects (compiz), if so try disabling it and retrying
[15:24] <Soothsayer> skilz: classic gnome? it already comes with Ubuntu 11 as well right ?
[15:24] <MrBushido> what's the conf file that lists meta names for ports, e.g. www = 80. It's somewhere like /etc/hosts but obviously thats for ip to hostname relationships
[15:24] <skilz> yes
[15:24] <Soothsayer> skilz: Anything with taskbar support like Windows 7? I hate it when you click on some program in the taskbar which has multiple windows open, ALL OF THEM open.
[15:25] <skilz> Seems to work fine for me
[15:26] <Soothsayer> skilz: do u have a dual monitor setup as well?
[15:26] <skilz> yes
[15:26] <edbian> MrBushido: I don't think there is one.  There is just standard numbers that people use for everything below 1024 (and some above too) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers
[15:26] <skilz> Soothsayer: Well I used to
[15:26] <skilz> Soothsayer: I had a 24" and a 19"
[15:26] <Soothsayer> skilz: did you have a taskbar on the second window?
[15:27] <skilz> yes
[15:27] <Soothsayer> skilz: anything you had to configure for it?
[15:29] <dr_willis> wohnpal,  you are trying to format a hard disk partition using mkisofs ?   dont you mean mkfs.ext4  ?
[15:29]  * dr_willis is slow.
[15:30] <DrFreeman> hello I need help
[15:30] <bazhang> DrFreeman, then ask
[15:30] <Soothsayer> And are there any other useful tools to use in a dual monitor setup?
[15:30] <DrFreeman> Alright.  Well I was deleting partitions on my Hard drive. But now I messed up my GRUB bootloader
[15:30] <bazhang> xrandr Soothsayer
[15:31] <DrFreeman> I was just trying to make Windows my only OS on my computer.
[15:31] <DrFreeman> So I can put another version of Ubuntu on here.
[15:31] <Bl4Ck0uT> tried it looks like a theme problem
[15:32] <Soothsayer> bazhang: what does it do ?
[15:32] <spacebug-> MrBushido: /etc/services
[15:33] <bazhang> !xrandr | Soothsayer
[15:34] <ChogyDan> DrFreeman: can you just skip to installing another version of ubuntu?
[15:34] <Tetracomm> Hello.
[15:34] <spacebug-> hi Tetracomm
[15:34] <Tetracomm> Does anyone know how to set up the D-Link DWA-125 USB wireless dongle in Ubuntu?
[15:34] <ItalianGuy> Hello everybody... I am happy to be here too...
[15:34] <envygeeks> Tetracomm: What's the chipset on the dongle?
[15:37] <Soothsayer> well, I already have that setup configured I believe. The issue is not getting dual monitor working.. its the usability issues.
[15:37] <ItalianGuy> I cant istall Ubuntu 11.04..... it has some problems with my HDD i guess....., Suse 11.0 istalled just fine...
[15:37] <Soothsayer> I can't have a taskbar for the second monitor, so to access a minimized window there, i need to go all the way back to the first screen and click from there.
[15:37] <Soothsayer> ItalianGuy: what file system did you select?
[15:37] <envygeeks> Soothsayer: Welcome to Linux.  Dual monitor has been bad for years and is just barely starting to get better, Wayland will help with a lot of that because it's not based on code from the 80's like X
[15:38] <envygeeks> Soothsayer: What is your graphics card?
[15:38] <Soothsayer> envygeeks: nvidia XFX 9600GT
[15:38] <ItalianGuy> none.... the Installation Routine told me the are no OS found on my System which is false
[15:38] <Mike1> BluesKaj: I just disabled the camera in the BIOS now (don’t need it anyways) and I hope the kernel errors and especially the boot problems are fixed for good now
[15:38] <confezzor> ItalianGuy:   do you know the architecture of your PC
[15:39] <ItalianGuy> Centrino Duo = x86....
[15:39] <envygeeks> Soothsayer: Last I remember the proprietary driver for Nvidia has the ability to make each monitor it's own desktop, thus enabling your ability to have a bottom taskbar on each
[15:39] <Mike1> BluesKaj: I would have never thought about the built-in camera until you asked for usb devices, so thank you!
[15:39] <BluesKaj> Mike1, it might just need the rifgt drivers to operate properly
[15:39] <Mike1> BluesKaj: I know what the problem is!
[15:39] <confezzor> and it doesn't install at all....do you have an i386 or a i686 architecture?
[15:40] <DrFreeman> Can anyone help me with my GRUB bootloader?
[15:40] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  in the old gnome (befor 11.04) i was able to have a panel on each of my monitors using twinview. i just drug one over there using alt-click draging it..
[15:40] <Omega> envygeeks: Uhm, linux is from the 90s, does it make it bad?
[15:40] <Mike1> BluesKaj: the cable connecting display/camera to the rest of the netbook seems to be in bad shape
[15:40] <raven_> how to work with the old software-center? (ratings, sorting, ...!!!)
[15:40] <BluesKaj> Mike1, ok , got it
[15:40] <Mike1> BluesKaj: when I open/close the device the screen flickers etc.
[15:40] <envygeeks> Omega: Selectively taking things out of context makes your refute invalid. Please put your question into context.
[15:40] <Mike1> BluesKaj: most likely the USB connection is damaged as well
[15:40] <edbian> DrFreeman: sure
[15:40] <ItalianGuy> confezzor: ?
[15:41] <Mike1> BluesKaj: which would explain the bootproblems and the kernel messages
[15:41] <karim_> hi
[15:41] <karim_> my scsi scanner is not detected automatically anymore
[15:41] <DrFreeman> Ok.  Well when I start up my computer, I'm not able to go into any of my partitions.  It says GRUB rescue.
[15:41] <ItalianGuy> confezzor:  Its a modern Pentium Centrino Duo
[15:41] <Soothsayer> envygeeks, dr_willis : ye I have twinview configured, but I've been using Unity all this while. Might switch to gnome classic I guess. But even though you might achieve two taskbars, one is a replica of another. So they actually contain entries for windows which are in both the monitors combined. Which defeats the purpose of having a second taskbar.
[15:41] <DrFreeman> And no partition available.
[15:42] <envygeeks> Soothsayer: Ah yeah that would be your problem then.  I don't think twinview supports Unity yet, if it will at all.
[15:42] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  unity has a lot of issues with dual monitor setups..
[15:42] <MrBushido> spacebug-: delayed thanks <3
[15:42] <ItalianGuy> must be a 686
[15:42] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  you can run gnome-panel while using unity. and drag the gnome panel to the 2nd monitor
[15:42] <confezzor> ok hold on let me check it out for you
[15:42] <ItalianGuy> to confezzor : ?
[15:42] <raven_> how to work with the old software-center? (ratings, sorting, ...!!!)
[15:42] <Soothsayer> dr_willis: I love the Unity app launcher though :-(
[15:42] <spacebug-> MrBushido: yw ;)
[15:42] <Soothsayer> dr_willis: hmm.. gnome-panel ?
[15:43] <bazhang> ItalianGuy, its 32 bit yes
[15:43] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  unity app launcher cionstantly gets messed up gfx for me.. unity is totally unseable here.
[15:43] <Danniel> hi, for those who came from windows what's better: Mandriva or Ubuntu?
[15:43] <ItalianGuy> bazhang : yes it is
[15:43] <dr_willis> Danniel,  get tehm both and decide for yourself.
[15:43] <BluesKaj> DrFreeman, did you try holding down the shift key at the bios scrn til the grub menu appears
[15:43] <bazhang> Danniel, this is ubuntu tech support. chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:43] <Danniel> ok, tnks
[15:43] <Soothsayer> Anyone using KDE on Ubuntu ?
[15:44] <bazhang> Soothsayer, whats the real question
[15:44] <Soothsayer> bazhang: reason for switching to KDE ?
[15:44] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  all the time... care to ask  somthing worth ansering. :)
[15:44] <envygeeks> Soothsayer: Using KDE on Ubuntu makes it Kubuntu irregardless of it starting out as Ubuntu :P
[15:44] <DrFreeman> no I didnt
[15:44] <bazhang> Soothsayer, preference. try it
[15:44] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  you can pick either one from the login screen.. i use kde if i want.. or try unity.. or use lxde.. depends on my mood.
[15:45] <dr_willis> right now im using Lubuntu/Lxde + avant-window-navigator on the right hand side of the monitor.
[15:45] <envygeeks> Now days I think I would rather use LXDE before XFCE when I want to power house Terminals too.
[15:46] <Soothsayer> Why isn't any of you talking about Gnome3?
[15:46] <petsounds> Soothsayer, yeah try it KDE 4.6 is really good.
[15:46] <bazhang> Soothsayer, its not supported here
[15:47] <bazhang> Soothsayer, chat about it in #ubuntu-offtopic if you wish
[15:47] <DrFreeman> Well I no longer have 2 OS on my computer either.  I only have windows
[15:47] <spacebug-> I'm runing ubuntu inside ubuntu ;)
[15:48] <raven_> how to work with the old software-center? (ratings, sorting, ...!!!)
[15:48] <envygeeks> DrFreeman: That would explain your problem.  Boot into the Windows CD and use the Windows Terminal to restore Windows bootloader you'll have to Google how to do that since you've just implied it's no longer a Linux problem
[15:48] <bazhang> raven_, what do you mean old
 hello [16:45] <ItalianGuy> are you able to help me istalling Ubuntu onto my System ? [16:46] <ItalianGuy> Installed openSUSE 11.0 without any problems [16:46] <ItalianGuy> but Ubunto doesnt recognize any Operating systems on my HDD [16:47] <ItalianGuy> but I am using Windows and SUSE, both on my System
[15:49] <ItalianGuy> ?
[15:49] <ItalianGuy> -- help
[15:49] <ItalianGuy> -?
[15:49] <ticky> Is there a way to make dpkg ignore a package entirely (Not attempt to install/update it at all)?
[15:49] <bazhang> !helpme | ItalianGuy
[15:49] <edbian> DrFreeman: sorry if I'm late.  Boot up a liveCD and use gparted to fix it all.
[15:49] <ItalianGuy> thanks
[15:49] <ItalianGuy> !help
[15:50] <bazhang> ticky, via pinning?
[15:50] <DrFreeman> ok thank you
[15:50] <ItalianGuy> !helpme
[15:50] <bazhang> ItalianGuy, please stop that
[15:50] <bazhang> !pinning | ticky
[15:50] <dr_willis> ItalianGuy,  'read' what people are saying.. dont spam the channel with  contant 'help me' lines..
[15:50] <Soothsayer> I guess I'm going to have KDE a shot after all.
[15:50] <dr_willis> ItalianGuy,  while you are waiting you should check the ubuntu forums and the askubuntu.com web site.
[15:51] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  kde is nice in many ways.. but annoying in many others.. its just so differnt in some aspects.. its awkward
[15:51] <raven_> bazhang software center with ratings and sortings
[15:51] <ItalianGuy> I paid 13 Euros and cant install Ubunto.....
[15:51] <bazhang> raven_, what about it
[15:51] <Soothsayer> dr_willis: is it closer to any of the following? a) OS X  b) Windows 7 ?
[15:51] <bazhang> ItalianGuy, patience.
[15:51] <raven_> bazhang, WHERE is this feature
[15:51] <SubKid> haha --> italianGuy
[15:51] <spacebug-> ItalianGuy: if you boot your computer with an ubuntu live cd, does it see your harddrive then?
[15:51] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  very differnt then both actually
[15:51] <bazhang> SubKid, please dont
[15:52] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  it does have some features of win7. had them befor win7 did. :)
[15:52] <SubKid> just tell what the Problem italianGuy ...
[15:52] <dr_willis> bbl.
[15:52] <ticky> bazhang: Does pinning cause it to remain in its current state, even if the current state is corrupt?
[15:52] <SubKid> what doesn't work ?
[15:52] <Sidewinder1> ItalianGuy, "Can't install?", what is the exact error message or problem?
[15:52] <bazhang> ticky, did you check the link?
[15:52] <sgo11> hi, in terminal, I can use rmdir to delete a directory and make sure it's empty. is that possible to do it in nautilus? delete empty directory otherwise popup warning? thanks.
[15:52] <ticky> bazhang: yes.
[15:53] <bazhang> ticky, if you have damaged packages, thats a different issue. PPA?
[15:53] <ItalianGuy> NO OPERATING SYSTEMS ARE FOUND ON MY HDD BY UBUNTU 11.04
[15:53] <bazhang> ItalianGuy, no caps please
[15:54] <ticky> bazhang: What are you asking, exactly?
[15:54] <DrFreeman> yeah I'm going to have to restore Windows.
[15:54] <DrFreeman> Thanks anyways
[15:54] <raven_> how to work with the old software-center? (ratings, sorting, ...!!!)
[15:54] <ItalianGuy> I am using Windows default Filesystem
[15:55] <bazhang> ticky, you want dpkg apt etc to ignore not upgrade a package? or something else. your original question might use some clarification if I am misunderstanding you
[15:55] <Sidewinder1> sgo11, Try gksudo nautilus to get rid of directories;CAUTION, make sure you have back-ups of your data prior to initiating,...
[15:55] <ItalianGuy> Windows 7
[15:56] <ticky> bazhang: Basically, dpkg thinks it needs to reinstall this package, but it can't because mono doesn't work properly on armel. I need to tell it to just ignore the package entirely and let me install other things.
[15:56] <Sidewinder1> ItalianGuy, You're not using WUBI, are you?
[15:56] <sgo11> Sidewinder1, why do I sudo nautilus? I don't really get it. thanks.
[15:56] <ItalianGuy> what it WUBI ?
[15:56] <ZykoticK9> !wubi | ItalianGuy
[15:57] <ItalianGuy> Wubi looks like nonsense to me
[15:57] <Sidewinder1> sgo11, That will allow you to have temporary root privleges in Nautilus if the directories are not owned by you.
[15:57] <Omega> envygeeks: I was pointing out the fallacy in your argument.
[15:57] <ItalianGuy> The Operating System called UBUNTU 11.04 doesnt recognize my Harddrive....
[15:57] <envygeeks> Omega: There was no fallacy, you tried to make one up out of nowhere,  get better please.
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> ItalianGuy: did you boot to the ubuntu CD and install, or did you run a program on the Ubuntu CD from within windows?
[15:58] <ItalianGuy> OpenSUSE 11.0 does...
[15:58] <Omega> envygeeks: "because it's not based on code from the 80's like X"
[15:58] <jakeriver> here is great solution if you ever screw with the panels in ubuntu: http://bithacker.blogspot.com/2010/05/restore-default-gnome-panels-in-ubuntu.html (sorry spam, i'm just happy for the how-to)
[15:58] <Sidewinder1> ItalianGuy, It is, with all due respect to the developers.
[15:58] <Omega> envygeeks: Is code from the 80s bad?
[15:59] <ItalianGuy> I did both variants.... none worked out
[15:59] <sgo11> Sidewinder1, ok. but that is not my question at all. In terminal, to remove an empty directory, I can use rmdir. if the directory is not empty, it will give me warning. this is good and safe. I am just wondering if nautilus has the same functionality. so when to delete a directory, it will warn you whether that is empty or not. currently, it doesn't.
[15:59] <Omega> (Get better, please)
[15:59] <envygeeks> Omega: Obviously it is if the developers are too hesitant to rewrite and engine for the future.  I think you're arguments should get better, or you should do some research into the comment.
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> jakeriver: ubottu already has a factoid for that
[15:59] <ZykoticK9> !panels | jakeriver even easier, no software required
[15:59] <bazhang> !ot | Omega envygeeks
[16:00] <Omega> This is getting ot.
[16:00] <Omega> Yes, that.
[16:00] <bazhang> gotten there already
[16:01] <ticky> bazhang: did you get what I said earlier?
[16:01] <Sidewinder1> sgo11, In Nautilus, if it's empty, won't it sat "0" files???
[16:01] <ItalianGuy> anybody willing to help me in Private Chat ?
[16:01] <bazhang> ticky, armel and mono issues, from what I have been informed
[16:01] <Sidewinder1> say, even.
[16:01] <bazhang> ItalianGuy, did you try as suggested booting the live cd yet?
[16:02] <ItalianGuy> I tried many times
[16:02] <sgo11> Sidewinder1, it doesn't say anything useful. just warn you you are about to delete a directory. that's all.
[16:02] <spacebug-> ItalianGuy: not finding an installed operating system and not finding a harddrive are two very different things. Which do you have problem with?
[16:02] <oCean> ticky: you can use  echo packagename hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections  to prevent it from being upgraded
[16:02] <sgo11> Sidewinder1, you can just try it.
[16:02] <ItalianGuy> spacebug... ask Ubuntu
[16:02] <ticky> bazhang: Yeah. I just want to be able to install completely unrelated packages, and because this hangs at 100% CPU I can't do anything.
[16:03] <bazhang> ticky, I'd try oCean 's suggestion then
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> ItalianGuy: so when you boot the liveCD you cannot see your drives?
[16:03] <ticky> bazhang: ok.
[16:03] <ItalianGuy> Booting up the system it gave some error message like ata3: error
[16:03] <JohnnyonFlame> I have a multi monitor setup, and I'd like to set up a different user for each monitor
[16:03] <Sidewinder1> sgo11, I only use terminal as a last resort; I prefer GUI, hence my suggestion of Nautilus; if I was unclear, I apologize.
[16:03] <JohnnyonFlame> is there any way to do so?
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> ItalianGuy: have you fsck'd your partitions?
[16:03] <thegladiator> Is it possible to replace the Compaq presario laptop bought in 2005 with any 14.0 WXGA lcd ?
[16:04] <ItalianGuy> I am a Windows User..... no i did not
[16:04] <bazhang> JohnnyonFlame, and they be logged on simultaneously?
[16:04] <JohnnyonFlame> Yeah, that's what I'd like to
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> JohnnyonFlame: you can set up a multiseat if you wish
[16:04] <sgo11> Sidewinder1, no worries. thanks for your help.
[16:04] <JohnnyonFlame> same KBD/Mouse?
[16:04] <bazhang> thegladiator, thats really a hardware issue, try ##hardware
[16:05] <thegladiator> sorry
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> JohnnyonFlame: if you add another keyboard and mouse, you can have 2 people set using the processing power of 1 PC
[16:05] <spacebug-> ItalianGuy: you have only one harddisk or more?
[16:05] <JohnnyonFlame> Yeah
[16:05] <ItalianGuy> only one HDD
[16:05] <spacebug-> ok
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> ItalianGuy: boot to the liveCD and you can ensure your Linux filesystems are healthy
[16:06] <ItalianGuy> ActionParsnip: I am a Windows User
[16:06] <JohnnyonFlame> ActionParsnip, the biggest issue here is actually that I need two different focuses on each monitor
[16:06] <bazhang> ItalianGuy, how does that relate to booting a live cd
[16:06] <JohnnyonFlame> but I'd still like to use the same KEYBORD/MOUSE for both
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> ItalianGuy: ahhh, so linux isn't installed yet?
[16:07] <ticky> bazhang: Looks like it won't help. I just tried to install something and it's still saying "The following partially installed packages will be configured:" and lists the package that's causing issues.
[16:07] <ItalianGuy> bazhang:  i was relating to ActionParsnip
[16:07] <bazhang> ItalianGuy, you said you had suse on there
[16:08] <confezzor> Italianguy which ubuntu are you trying to install again?
[16:08] <ItalianGuy> I just installed that because i was angry that ubuntu was able to install, to i thought it could be some Problems related to Noteboos or Laptops
[16:08] <confezzor> and you said you bought the cd?
[16:08] <DamnSoGooD> what app can i use to join spliited clips?
[16:08] <ItalianGuy> wasn´t able to install
[16:08] <DamnSoGooD> splitted*
[16:08] <JohnnyonFlame> ActionParsnip: THe big issue here is that even if I were given two different desktops, they are still the same user, so I have some issues with windows focusing, not being able to open firefox in both, etc.
[16:08] <bazhang> DamnSoGooD, what format
[16:09] <ItalianGuy> I am a illegal Woindows User
[16:09] <ItalianGuy> Windows User
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> DamnSoGooD: you can cat the files together using:  cat file1.avi file2.avi file3.avi > result.avi
[16:09] <raven_> how to work with the old software-center? (ratings, sorting, ...!!!)
[16:09] <bazhang> ItalianGuy, please stay on topic.
[16:10] <confezzor> if you bought the cd it might of come faulty so you can try to download the iso from the website
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> DamnSoGooD: you will need to run: mencoder -forceidx -oac copy -ovc copy result.avi -o outfile.avi        to sort the audio
[16:10] <ItalianGuy> >so i have to use LINUX
[16:10] <edward_> Hola, alguien habla español?
[16:10] <ItalianGuy> I have to switch to LINUX
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> ItalianGuy: fine, but does the Ubuntu CD not pick up your drives, just to clarify...
[16:10] <DamnSoGooD> bazhang, any format, many of them such as .mkv .avi .rm .mp4
[16:10] <th0r> JohnnyonFlame: I just got here, so excuse if this isn't to your point. If you set up firefox to open new windows instead of new tabs, you should be able to open firefox on both desktops, I think
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> !es | edward_
[16:11] <bazhang> DamnSoGooD, then what ActionParsnip suggested
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> simple solution always works best :)
[16:11] <tkruise> oi! mates, which php editor do you use on ubuntu?
[16:11] <tkruise> just simple jEdit?
[16:11] <JohnnyonFlame> th0r: not quite, it will rotate the desktop cube when you try to switch desktops like in windows.
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> DamnSoGooD: http://www.arsgeek.com/2006/08/07/how-to-join-multiple-avi-or-mpg-files/
[16:11] <ItalianGuy> ActionParsnip: Yes, exactly... my HDD is recognized by Ubunto as sda (HD1)
[16:11] <mahir256> tkruise: always use vim. no offence to emacs fans
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> ItalianGuy: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[16:11] <Nano2nd> can someone help me dual boot vista and ubuntu; ubuntu is my only installed OS right now
[16:12] <tkruise> mahir256 I dont know what's vim
[16:12] <th0r> ah....the 'new and improved' ubuntu....haven't tried that. In  fact, that is what sent me to debian <smile>
[16:12] <tkruise> :[
[16:12] <DamnSoGooD> @ActionParsnip will it work n any format?
[16:12] <ItalianGuy> It is a live CD I bought for 13€
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> Nano2nd: boot to ubuntu liveCD and resize the Ext4 partition to make some room for windows
[16:12] <envygeeks> !dual boot | nano2nd
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> DamnSoGooD: should be ok
[16:12] <mahir256> tkruise: http://www.vim.org/
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> Nano2nd: you will need to boot back to the liveCD after installing as Windows will blindly overwrite grub
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> Nano2nd: make sure your backups are recent enough in case of catastrophe
[16:13] <ItalianGuy> <------------- On private with confezzor
[16:13] <Nano2nd> Action: How can I resize my ext4 partition for windows install
[16:14] <envygeeks> !resize ext4 |nano2nd
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> DamnSoGooD: http://adammichaelroach.com/blog/092109-merging-multiple-video-files-ubuntu-linux
[16:14] <Nano2nd> !resize ext4
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> Nano2nd: use gparted in ubuntu livecd
[16:14] <envygeeks> !resize partition | nano2nd
[16:14] <DamnSoGooD> ok thanks idol!
[16:15] <bazhang> envygeeks, please /msg ubottu to learn them
[16:15] <Nano2nd> so boot into live cd
[16:15] <[antenia84]> have you a google+ invitation?
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> Nano2nd: yes
[16:15] <bazhang> [antenia84], wrong channel
[16:15] <karasrk> Hi, anyone got a good website for ubuntu desktop themes?
[16:15] <Nano2nd> thx
[16:15] <io> !partition | Nano2nd
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> !theme | karasrk
[16:15] <bazhang> karasrk, gnome-look.org
[16:15] <karasrk> i'm looking at this and they look so good http://dailyapps.net/2008/08/15-most-beautiful-looking-linux-desktops-youll-ever-see/
[16:15] <karasrk> thanks
[16:15] <Sidewinder1> Nano2nd, Before you get started, please have a gander at: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php
[16:15] <karasrk> !theme
[16:15] <envygeeks> bazhang: I did not get the syntax wrong... It just did not find any documentation...
[16:16] <[antenia84]> where is the right channel?
[16:16] <mahir256> !ot | [antenia84]
[16:16] <sgo11> hi, why does my system have no beep sound? ubuntu 11.04 upgraded from ubuntu 10.10. musics and videos have sound. I just install beep and run it in terminal. nothing happens.
[16:16] <bazhang> envygeeks, thus the need to learn the correct ones in /msg with the bot
[16:16] <karasrk> thanks!
[16:16] <sgo11> is this a hardware issue?
[16:16] <envygeeks> bazhang: well while were at it perhaps you could learn to colon syntax instead of comma?
[16:16] <envygeeks> since we want to nitpick and all...
[16:16] <io> Sidewinder1: the ubuntu wiki contains a lot more information than that website
[16:16] <bazhang> envygeeks, pardon?
[16:17] <onetwothree> hi i have a problem with a vpn connection..i get connected and the ip adress for tap0 gets to sthg like 10.x.x.x ..i have configure to use a dns from google and also tried to set it to automatically
[16:17] <envygeeks> bazhang: <<
[16:17] <bazhang> !fishing > envygeeks
[16:17] <onetwothree> but no connection possible
[16:17] <Abhijit> how to upgrade any single package from command line?
[16:17] <DamnSoGooD> @ActionParsnip , how can i use that mencoder? is it a terminal thing?
[16:17] <onetwothree> i have checked the routing table and it looks fine
[16:17] <bazhang> DamnSoGooD, yes in the terminal
[16:17] <sgo11> Abhijit, i guess you just apt-get install it
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> DamnSoGooD: yes
[16:18] <Abhijit> sgo11, it is installed. now i wish to upgrade
[16:18] <mahir256> Abhijit: apt-get update (package-name)
[16:18] <bazhang> Abhijit, if an upgrade is there it will give it.
[16:18] <sgo11> Abhijit, the same thing. if it has a new version, it will upgrade. otherwise, it does nothing.
[16:18] <DamnSoGooD> how about the location of the file? my video files are in a seperate ntfs partition
[16:19] <io> Abhijit: '$ sudo apt-get -u install <package>'
[16:19] <Abhijit> bazhang, there is upgrade. and there are lots of packages. but i wish to upgrade only one package out of that list
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> DamnSoGooD: then have the NTFS partition mounted and you can access them
[16:19] <bazhang> Abhijit, which package what version of ubuntu
[16:19] <io> Abhijit: read
[16:19] <sgo11> Abhijit, if one package upgrade, all the dependencies have to be upgraded.
[16:20] <morth> im having an issue, when i connect with VPN it works for my internet browser but when my irssi can't connect, always saying timed out.
[16:20] <DamnSoGooD> oh no, i'm dumb when it comes to terminal.. do we have a gui'd app :D
[16:20] <envygeeks> morth: is your VPN blocking it on their firewall?
[16:21] <bazhang> DamnSoGooD, mencoder is really the best way to do this
[16:21] <Abhijit> bazhang, i currently have updates to install. now i install mumble. after that i added its ppa. now i want to get newser version from that ppa. for this i need to upgrade only mumble. not all the updates availabnle
[16:21] <mahir256> DamnSoGooD: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=490609
[16:21] <Abhijit> io, sgo11 mahir256 ok
[16:21] <morth> envygeeks: how can i tell?
[16:21] <yeats> morth: there should be a setting in network manager that tells ubuntu not to route everything through the VPN connection
[16:22]  * yeats assumes morth is using networkmanger
[16:22] <io> Abhijit: '$ sudo apt-get -u install <package>'
[16:23] <morth> yeats: errrm how can i tell LOL
[16:23] <Abhijit> io, ok
[16:23] <yeats> morth: how did you set up the VPN connection?
[16:24] <Abhijit> io, yeah that worked! thanks! :-)
[16:24] <morth> yeats: using ubuntu 11.04, the two arrows on my top panel
[16:24] <morth> yeats: then i went to VPN connections>Configure VPN
[16:24] <ITpro> hi all, any quick answer: trying to setup VirtualBox in Vista but error : "more than one instance"?
[16:24] <yeats> morth: okay - good - that's called "Network Manager"
[16:25] <yeats> morth: go to VPN Connections > Configure VPN, then click on the IPv4 tab
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> DamnSoGooD: how can you be dumb with copying and pasting text???
[16:25] <morth> yeats: will this allow me to use my VPN on irssi?
[16:25] <mahir256> !ot | ITpro
[16:25] <yeats> morth: then select Automatic (VPN) addresses only
[16:25] <yeats> morth: hopefully
[16:26] <kisuke> anyone know of a partitioning tool that does not use libparted?
[16:26] <bazhang> ITpro, try #vbox
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> ITpro: youor issue is with Windows, not Ubuntu
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> kisuke: fdisk, cfdisk
[16:26] <ITpro> well I want it to install ubuntu! i thought someone had this b4
[16:26] <yeats> morth: what's probably happening is that Ubuntu is routing all internet traffic through your VPN connection (which may be blocking irssi)
[16:26] <io> Abhijit: no problem
[16:26] <maahes> bazhang: test disk will repair partitions, fdisk, cfdisk.
[16:26] <morth> yeats: okay, after automatic vpn, address only now what
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> ITpro: sure, but you are  installing virtualbox in windows, the problem is a windows one
[16:26] <bazhang> maahes, perhaps you mean kisuke
[16:27] <yeats> morth: click Save and try again ;-)
[16:27] <ITpro> k thanks i'll try #vbox
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> ITpro: try asking in ##windows and/or #vbox
[16:27] <maahes> bazhang: sorry, yes I mean kisuke :)
[16:27] <morth> yeats: okay brb in a few
[16:27] <envygeeks> ActionParsnip, ITpro: Sounds like you already have a VM running, turn that VM off first
[16:27] <raven_> how to work with the old software-center? (ratings, sorting, ...!!!)
[16:28] <bazhang> raven_, please clarify: what do you mean old
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> raven_: do you mean synaptic? I'm not aware of an "old" software centre
[16:28] <raven_> bazhang software center with ratings and sortings
[16:29] <ITpro> Nope, I checked running processes
[16:29] <bazhang> raven_, old? what version of ubuntu do you have, and from which version of software are you talking about
[16:29] <yeats> morth: I'm leaving in a sec, but keep asking in the channel so others can help
[16:29] <morth> yeats: i got " Irssi: Unable to connect server irc.freenode.net port 6667 [Name or service not known]" when i try to connect
[16:29] <raven_> bazhang actual 10.04 - talking about the software center in 9.04
[16:29] <sgo11> hi, why does my system have no beep sound? ubuntu 11.04 upgraded from ubuntu 10.10. musics and videos have sound. I just install beep and run it in terminal. nothing happens.  is this a hardware problem or software?
[16:30] <bazhang> raven_, did you try and mix different version packages from different versions of ubuntu?
[16:30] <maahes> morth: try /connect server irc.freenode.net/6667 ?
[16:30] <maahes> minus the ?
[16:30] <raven_> bazhang, ???? no
[16:30] <xxmmaann> hi
[16:30] <ITpro> actually i do use ubuntu on a stick though, so u guys r right to check the other channels
[16:30] <bazhang> raven_, then why ask about it
[16:30] <morth> maahes: hmm, let me retry.
[16:30] <mahir256> sgo11: what beep? you mean control-g? if that's it then its a hardware problem
[16:31] <bazhang> raven_, 9.04 is end of life
[16:31] <Gekz> I wish to upgrade my 10.04 server to 11.04
[16:31] <sgo11> mahir256, just beep sound. what is control-g?
[16:31] <Gekz> what's the most optimal manner to do this?
[16:31] <Abhijit> !upgrade | Gekz
[16:31] <bazhang> Gekz, 10.10 then to 11.04
[16:32] <raven_> bazhang, every new version of ubuntu makes me more ill. its getting more and more worse!!!
[16:32] <sgo11> mahir256, beep sound from the PC box. eg: if you type something wrong, terminal may give a beep sound.
[16:32] <yeats> morth: is the VPN your only means of connecting to the Internet?
[16:32] <DamnSoGooD> @ActionParsnip , hehe just joking idol!
[16:32] <mahir256> sgo11: okay...that's what control-g does when you press it in a terminal.
[16:32] <xxmmaann> i installed the new nvidia driver and when i try to start any games i get blank screen   / can you help me please ?
[16:32] <mahir256> sgo11: that's definitely a hardware problem
[16:33] <Neohasreturned> Hi all I have had to reinstall ubuntu and have tried to restore my programs and settings with aptoncd but it said it hasn't installed them but copied the files to cache can someone help me?
[16:33] <xxmmaann> any ideas please?
[16:33] <sgo11> mahir256, ok. just tried it. no beep sound with ctrl+g. I am using dell PC. weird. even my no brand PC has beep sound.
[16:33] <xxmmaann> :-(
[16:33] <bazhang> xxmmaann, installed from where
[16:33] <kisuke> actionparsnip, maahes: thanks, you just saved my 320 gig external.
[16:33] <kisuke> \7
[16:33] <xxmmaann> from nvidia site
[16:34] <bazhang> xxmmaann, use additional drivers method, that method is not supported
[16:34] <ITpro> Since you guys talking about VPNs, any good and cheap one? someone gave me a link to a $2/year! VPN but lost it!
[16:34] <bazhang> ITpro, #ubuntu-offtopic for that please
[16:34] <maahes> kisuke: np :)
[16:35] <johnnywhite> hey
[16:35] <sudokill> hey you
[16:35] <chaddy> ITpro: http://www.bestfreevpn.com/
[16:35] <ITpro> thanks
[16:36] <kisuke> maahes: and now it goes into the 2nd gen PS3., i have got to figure out where this "he can fix it" vibe comes from.
[16:36] <xxmmaann> so . i need  install the old driver?
[16:36] <a111> isnt 800kbits slower than using TOR
[16:36] <johnnywhite> can I ask for help here in the channel?
[16:36] <oCean> johnnywhite: surey, go right ahead
[16:37] <oCean> *sure
[16:37] <Neohasreturned> Hi could someone help me with aptoncd?
[16:37] <bazhang> xxmmaann, the old driver? you mean the supported method, then yes
[16:37] <maahes> kisuke: power of linux! I remember the first time I chrooted into a drive that had had a failed upgrade that made the system unbootable. Someone walked me through and I was like: ARE YOU A WIZARD?!?!?
[16:37] <sudokill> a111, what do you mean?
[16:37] <johnnywhite> well the problem is the following: I'd like to use Ubuntu but I cannot, because apparently there is no driver for my wireless adapter :(
[16:37] <confezzor> hey guys i got a quick question to ask if someone knows the answer...if i was to have a cap on my data like 5GB a month and i wanted to download something without wasting my data...can a friend use dropbox and give me his info to get the item i want...would that waste my data?..i think it does..but just want to make sure
[16:37] <a111> on that free vpn link it says the speed is at 800kbit/s
[16:37] <sudokill> johnnywhite, thats like the most common problem of them all
[16:38] <xxmmaann> this driver work better but i cant play games
[16:38] <bazhang> confezzor, that has zero to do with ubuntu support
[16:38] <gumbo72> how can I fix a corrupt partition?
[16:38] <sudokill> a111, tor speed is random, so that might be more consstent
[16:38] <szal> xxmmaann: https://launchpad.net/~ferramroberto/+archive/nvidia/+build/2572337 <- use this if you want the 275 -- attention: UNSUPPORTED
[16:38] <kisuke> maahes: sadly im my case i have everyone i know tring to get mt to troubleshoot/hack/pwn their electronics.
[16:38] <johnnywhite> well I read on the forums and apparently there are many people with the same problem with this adapter
[16:38] <chaddy> a111: depends where you are, I think, showing me 1.2MBps
[16:38] <maahes> confezzor: ....er...why not just give it to you on dropbox, or use a file dropping service like megaupload or whatever, and direct download.
[16:38] <confezzor> i know sorry...i'm trying to help someone get the iso without wasting data
[16:38] <maahes> kisuke: this is when you pretend to have suffered brain damage.
[16:39] <sudokill> tor connects to difffferent people, some might be slow some fast, they are all users so speed varies all the itme
[16:39] <johnnywhite> and some people could solve the problem
[16:39] <maahes> confezzor: you could direct them to the free cd's ubuntu gives out.
[16:39] <gumbo72> how can I fix a corrupt partition?
[16:39] <kisuke> maahes: nope, call blocking.
[16:39] <johnnywhite> someone shared the code of the driver but I cannot compile it :(
[16:39] <sudokill> gumbo72, try fsck n the drive
[16:39] <envygeeks> gumbo72: what kind of partition is it? if it's ext4 just use fsck
[16:39] <confezzor> oh they give out free cd's...i didn't know..i thought you had to pay for the cd's?
[16:40] <vicio> gumbo72: with gparted
[16:40] <maahes> confezzor: nope. Ubuntu will send you nice free ones. ^_^
[16:40] <confezzor> do you know were can i find that info
[16:40] <oCean> maahes, confezzor  canonical stopped with that
[16:40] <szal> maahes: they don't do that any longer
[16:40] <gumbo72> it's ext4, but with other people on the spanish ubuntu channel we've discovered that even though it is listed in gparted, fscking it gives http://pastebin.com/SkL7igBg
[16:41] <szal> confezzor: if the cap is on the ISP's side there's nothing you can do to circumvent it
[16:41] <gumbo72> which means it doesnt recognise it
[16:41] <sudokill> confezzor, youd still have to download it, so yes
[16:41] <RedWar> You can buy a CD
[16:41] <Neohasreturned> Could someone tell me how to restore backups using aptoncd?
[16:41] <RedWar> So, if you want to and you are concerned about the cap, by a cd

[16:41] <RedWar> Plus,you are giving to the cause :)
[16:42] <confezzor> ok thanks guys...sorry for the none ubuntu question lol
[16:42] <sudokill> confezzor, or think about changin isp maybe? that must be a nightmare 5gb a month
[16:42] <Fabrice> Anyone knows how to make a network-install custom install CD or use debian-cd ?
[16:42] <Neohasreturned> Abhijit, I have already backed it up and restored it to cache but not sure what to do to actually install the backup?
[16:42] <Fabrice> plzplz
[16:43] <confezzor> it's  not me it was a person in the chat room...was trying to help him out
[16:43] <szal> confezzor: see e.g. here -> http://www.osdisc.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi/products/linux/ubuntu?affiliate=distrowatch
[16:43] <Sidewinder1> gumbo72, Your pastebin says "ext2", why not, using Gparted, just reformat it to ext3/ext4; backing up data, first, of course?
[16:43] <confezzor> i could waste all the data i want
[16:43] <Abhijit> NeoBlaster, updates will be automatically shown. for applications you need to install them manualy one by one. please read the apton docs first and then ask.
[16:43] <confezzor> thanks szal
[16:43] <morth> yeats: i still can't seem to get it working, i just tried irssi -c irc.freenode.net -p 6667 and it just sat there saying connecting forever.
[16:43] <gumbo72> Sidewinder1: in gparted it says it's ext4
[16:44] <kisuke> ln follows <somethin> <somewhere> correct?
[16:44] <Medjai> Anyone here from the Ubuntu development team?
[16:44] <envygeeks> I've seen the ext2 on ext4 error before, and it happened when we had a failing drive, I remember reading a while back that it can also be caused by an unrecoverable partition that is entirely done
[16:44] <bazhang> Medjai, whats the actual question
[16:44] <edbian> kisuke: What you asked is ambiguous.  the man page for ln says ln target linkName
[16:44] <Medjai> Well I'm looking for the person who created the ambient light sensor support for Macbooks
[16:45] <gumbo72> so what could i do, envygeeks?
[16:45] <sgo11> hi, in nautilus, when double click a program, a default app is launched. I know I can change the default app in Properties of the file. But instead of changing one by one, is there a place that allows me change all extensions at once? thanks.
[16:45] <Sidewinder1> gumbo72, If fsck didn't solve the problem, you could simply reformat with Gparted, no?
[16:45] <bazhang> Medjai, check the mailing lists then
[16:45] <bazhang> !lists | Medjai
[16:45] <envygeeks> gumbo72: in both cases you could be screwed without forensics, it's easier to just wipe and repartition if it's that bad
[16:45] <Medjai> That will list developers and their contributions bazhang ?
[16:46] <envygeeks> gumbo72: or backups, sorry forgot backups.
[16:46] <kisuke> edbian: let me rephrase that, ln follows "ln origin detour" similiar to the syntax for mount, i read man, and just want to be sure i remember it right before i bork something
[16:46] <bazhang> Medjai, there are different lists, yes some for development
[16:46] <Medjai> ok thanks
[16:46] <gumbo72> Sidewinder1, but I have in it important information I can't access to (because it's corrupted).
[16:46] <Milcare> hi all
[16:46] <Fabrice> Anyone knows how to make a network-install custom install CD or use debian-cd ?
[16:47] <edbian> kisuke: No I think you have it backwards?  it's ln /path/to/file /path/to/link/name    is that clear?
[16:47] <gumbo72> envygeeks, isn't there any possibility to access to the data inside?
[16:47] <kisuke> edbian: that bis what i thought, thanks for making sure i had it clear.
[16:47] <edbian> kisuke: sure
[16:47] <Sidewinder1> gumbo72, There's also System-->Administration-->Disk Utility; but if the partition is totally corrupt, you may have already lost the data. :-(
[16:47] <Neohasreturned> There's not one person in here who can help me restore my backuo from cache?
[16:47] <Poindexter_> Fabrice you can do that on a USB memory stick a floppy disk or a CD/DVD.
[16:48] <sudokill> Fabrice, i think the ubuntu minimal cd is htat
[16:48] <envygeeks> gumbo72: you can search for Forensic software and try to recover pieces as long as you haven't tampered the drive, if you have then like sidewinder1 said, it could be gone forever
[16:48] <Sidewinder1> !volunteers > Neohasreturned
[16:48] <Poindexter_> Create an ISO and burn it to a CD or anything disk and boot from it.
[16:48] <Fabrice> Poindexter_, i need to build a custom iso
[16:49] <Fabrice> Poindexter_, similar to minimal but pointing at a diferent repository
[16:49] <Sidewinder1> !remaster > Fabrice
[16:50] <gumbo72> Ok, so if you could give me some advice in which program to try I'd be great (I'm already looking)
[16:50] <Neohasreturned> Sidewinder1, I'm sorry if I sounded rude but I have backed up my laptop and I am trying to restore it and I am unable to do it I thought aptoncd would just reinstall everything
[16:50] <Fabrice> ubottu, as i said not a live cd, a network install aka minimal cd
[16:50] <envygeeks> gumbo72: normally I don't attempt forensics on my drive, we have sufficient backups so once a drive burns we hotswap it and then follow procedure to destroy the old drive, so I cannot recommend any, sorry
[16:50] <Sidewinder1> gumbo72, It's been a while; let me see if I can find some sources, please stand-by...
[16:51] <Poindexter_> Fabrice it has already been done. Go to Bart's Boot Disk .com or Flavian's or Hirens Boot disk for tutorials.
[16:52] <gumbo72> Thank you both, Sidewinder1 and envygeek
[16:52] <Fabrice> Poindexter_, ok obviously you just cant read or something , i want to make a custom minimal cd that points to my repository and installs my metapackages, everything your suggesting has nothing to do with that
[16:52] <envygeeks> !uck | fabrice
[16:52] <Sidewinder1> gumbo72, Please have a look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1784873&highlight=recovering+lost+data
[16:52] <Fabrice> ubottu, again now a live cd
[16:53] <Poindexter_> Fabrice making a minimal ISO is simple. Build a machine and create the ISO on a disk.
[16:53] <ChogyDan> Fabrice: you want a netboot cd?
[16:53] <envygeeks> fabrice: a netiso image is already minimal anyways, if I remember right all of the netiso images only install the minimal to get booted, the absolute minimum. Why would you want to customise it?
[16:54] <Fabrice> envygeeks, point it at my repo and make it isntall my packages
[16:54] <Poindexter_> You can Google the Ultimate XP boot disk and burn it. That will give you network possibilities but I am not sure what you want to accomplish.
[16:54] <Fabrice> Poindexter_, then stop talking
[16:54] <bazhang> Poindexter_, why would you recommend windows solutions in ubuntu channel
[16:55] <Fabrice> ChogyDan, yes
[16:55] <envygeeks> !preseed | fabrice
[16:55] <Fabrice> ChogyDan, ubuntu uses debian-cd to make those right ?
[16:55] <envygeeks> blah
[16:55] <envygeeks> Fabrice: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed
[16:55] <sgo11> ok. I just found I could change the default app in mimeapps.list file. any UI tool for this purpose?
[16:55] <abstrakt> so does 11.04 still suck the big one, or is it safe/worth-it to upgrade?
[16:56] <edbian> hahahaha
[16:56] <ChogyDan> Fabrice: I don't really know, but I thought Ubuntu uses debian tech for everything but the main graphical installer (Ubiquity?)
[16:56] <abstrakt> i'm on 10.10 and i've been putting off moving to 11.04 because of all the horror stories
[16:56] <kisuke> abstrakt: its not as buggy as maverick was.
[16:56] <edbian> ChogyDan: They have tons of their own stuff now
[16:56] <Fabrice> envygeeks, that again dosent help
[16:56] <edbian> ChogyDan: Like the notifications were created by them
[16:56] <abstrakt> kisuke, i've heard a lot of complaints about the UI though also
[16:56] <abstrakt> kisuke, GNOME3 is it? Unity? something like that
[16:57] <ChogyDan> edbian: yeah, but in terms of installation, the debian installer is used
[16:57] <abstrakt> i'm a coder, i don't want a consumer UI, i want a power UI
[16:57] <kisuke> abstrakt: you only need to open it long enought to log out and log backinto classic gnome
[16:57] <morth> abstrakt: why not just use classic view?
[16:57] <abstrakt> morth, probably cuz I wasn't aware of it :P
[16:57] <oCean> abstrakt: this channel is not for general discussion and opinions. Try #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:57] <edbian> ChogyDan: The installer is completely written by Ubuntu.  Debian uses a CLI installer (it's not a live CD)
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> could also install a different DE, like LXDE or kDE
[16:58] <kisuke> abstrakt: 11.04 comes with unnity, the only gnome 3 packages avalible have more bugs than a bait shop AFAIK
[16:58] <morth> abstrakt: hehe, that's what im using atm
[16:58] <kisuke> abstrakt: but gnoome2 or KDE work fine.
[16:58] <Neohasreturned> Could someone tell me how to restore backup from cache using synaptic after using aptoncd?
[16:58] <edbian> abstrakt: You could install one of the other window managers.  Like fluxbox
[16:58] <abstrakt> kisuke, ah ok, thanks
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> Neohasreturned: mount the ISO / CD and it will run
[16:58] <envygeeks> Yeah didn't Ubuntu drop Anaconda for Ubiquity in full?
[16:58] <abstrakt> i haven't really been following the UI scene
[16:59] <bazhang> envygeeks, anacon da is for fedora
[16:59]  * morth sings "i just had seeeeeex, and it felt so gooood."
[17:00] <bazhang> morth, stop that
[17:00] <maahes> morth: not the place.
[17:00] <Poindexter_> Bazhang again you missed the point. Creating an ISO has nothing to do with Windows. Most people who come are are trying to convert from Windows to Linux. People like myself come here to give free advice and free experience NO CHARGE. So decline with your comments.
[17:00] <maahes> abstrakt: try AwesomeWM :)
[17:00] <Neohasreturned> ActionParsnip, I have it saved as an iso?
[17:00] <bazhang> Poindexter_, please stick to ubuntu solutions for ubuntu issues
[17:01] <basman> can any one tell me pls how to install audio plugins
[17:01] <Neohasreturned> ActionParsnip, I have restored it already but to cache it says I need to install them via synaptic or apt-get?
[17:01] <morth> maahes: i'm still having issues, i tried irssi -c server -p port and it just sat there saying connecting and never connected.
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> !aptoncd
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[17:02] <maahes> morth: are you sure 6667 is open? try a different port, freenode has some alternate ports (ask in #freenode), or...try a different client real quick.
[17:02] <abstrakt> maahes, hmmm, interesting - I will consider it
[17:02] <abstrakt> this looks like ion
[17:02] <basman> how to install audio plugins help
[17:02] <abstrakt> like, mouseless?
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> Neohasreturned: may help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/APTonCD
[17:03] <gumbo72> Sidewinder1: thank you, I'll try to att
[17:03] <maahes> abstrakt: mouseless by automagic window control, unlike ion.
[17:03] <gumbo72> Sidewinder1: thank you, I'll try to attempt to recover the date once I ge all the information
[17:03] <maahes> oh, and dynamic window tagging! :)
[17:03] <n0kS> hello, how can I install other languages on an installed ubuntu, like italian, french, russian, etc?
[17:03] <maahes> and you can reload your rc without restarting the X server.
[17:03] <chompiras> hello
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> n0kS: press Super then type 'language'  and it will appear
[17:05] <n0kS> ActionParsnip thanks
[17:06] <chompiras> how can I see the info of the hd and partitions installed in a box, from the command line in a human way if possible? tried  more /etc/fstab and  blkid
[17:06] <abstrakt> maahes, hmm, ok, well yeah I'll consider it
[17:06] <n0kS> uhm, how to make ubuntu to connect autmatically to a wifi network? every time I reset I have to input the password...
[17:07] <Sidewinder1> ActionParsnip, I had no idea (aptoncd), it seems I learn more here than I try to impart.  I can open ones already on my computer fine, but I can't click a browser link and download them from anywhere. instead, I get an error message about the source file being unreadable.
[17:09] <chompiras> ActionParsnip legend! thanks v much
[17:10] <rakshasa73> hallo!
[17:11] <rakshasa73> i'm searching for a way to hide my ubuntu host from windows network resources over my lan. Can someone help me?
[17:11] <edbian> rakshasa73: Did you set Ubuntu up as a file server or web server or ssh server or something?
[17:12] <Sidewinder1> Anoria, How about, in the program that's viewing the pdf, simply "saving as"?
[17:13] <Anoria> Sidewinder1, I hadn't tried that, but now that I do, nothing at all happens. the context menu disappears when I click save as, and then... everything is exactly the same as it was before I tried to do anything
[17:14] <Anoria> (tried three times on different pdf links just to be sure)
[17:15] <Sidewinder1> Anoria, That's strange; it's always just worked for me; never needed to trouble-shoot it...:-(
[17:17] <Anoria> Sidewinder1, same here, it's not the kind of thing that you'd expect to break. I suspect restarting will fix it. at least now I know it's not a super well known issue that everyone has seen and fixed or anything.
[17:17] <torl> why does ubuntu.com not mention anywhere about linux?
[17:17] <Fabrice> lol
[17:17] <rakshasa73> edbian: no i didn't anything, i had installed mint, in network shares i see my host name. So i think it 's visible to other hosts of my lan. Waht i want is  still see windows shares or host names without show my hostname,.
[17:17] <dimas_> could someone help me compile a program?
[17:18] <stefanos> hello, what do i need to install on my ubuntu in order to run a web page?
[17:18] <Sidewinder1> Anoria, A reboot never hurts; well, almost never.

[17:19] <stefanos> vico to run a web page and after making some test upload it to a paid server
[17:20] <vicio> stefanos: to run a web page you just need to instal firefox

[17:20] <Fox__> Yes. The disk fully installs on my laptop (win 7 now dual with Natty) but i try this on the tower with the specs i gave and it crashes
[17:21] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu torl take a look
[17:21] <yeats> dimas_: no need to compile since it's in the repository
[17:21] <chaddy> dimas_: what's wrong with just apt-get'ing it?
[17:21] <stefanos> vico hmmm i think i answered wrong, to make a web server? I instaled apache2 do i need somthing else?
[17:21] <dimas_> yeats i am having a little problem with that version after every thing is done i get to sound from it

[17:26] <Somelauw> ?
 ok
[17:26] <dimas_> reinstall ubuntu? you crazy?..nooo...the other application are working just fine
[17:26] <dean> ActionParsnip, It don't mention repositories on software centre?
[17:26] <Sidewinder1> Fox__, Yes, I saw your reply; why the install would work on one system but not the next might be just about anything... How many times have you tried?
[17:27] <yeats> dimas_: ok ;-) - like I said, I thought that suggestion was a bit extreme

  oh PPA not found in source.list file
[17:27] <vicio> stefanos: and reboot
[17:27] <Anoria> Sidewinder1, in case you were wondering, reboot fixed it. I am mystified but content to be grateful it works and move on with my life.
  so what ?
[17:27] <bazhang> aborady, what about in sources.list.d
[17:28] <Traintop> Hi Folks! Is there an easy way to make my laptop work as a radioclock/alarm while in hotels?
[17:28] <sgo11> eg: mouse clicks shutdown icon in the top right bar (unity). then "Pr Scrn" button won't work. how to take screenshot then? thanks.
[17:28] <Somelauw> ActionParsnip: Almost what I want, since unzip a.zip won't created a dir called a.
[17:28] <dean> ActionParsnip, I tried that sudo -i thing it said no such file or directory?
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> Traintop: you can use the at command
[17:28] <Fox__> Sidewinder1, ive tried 4 times. Last night i was told something about nomodeset or something but i didnt know the graphics card info at the time, now i know its a NVidia card
[17:28] <bazhang> Traintop, with cron and a streaming radio app? or something like that?
[17:29] <Somelauw> ActionParsnip: Since some of the zip files contain files with the same name
[17:29] <Sidewinder1> Fox__, That's certainly good news! :D
[17:30] <Traintop> ActionParsnip,bazhang: to be more specific; I want to enter a time when I go to bed; turn the laptop off and it then wakes up at the specified time and starts playing a playlist/web-channel/mp3/divx/...
[17:30] <bazhang> Traintop, you mean sleep right?
[17:30] <Traintop> I'm using 11.04 and hoped such things would go via GUI
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> Traintop: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ClamAV   at the bottom has a great at example
[17:31] <Traintop> bazhang: if I really turn it off or just go to suspend-to-ram/hd does not matter
  i found many files for PPA
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> Traintop: the laptop will need to be on, or you will need to tell your BIOS to fire up the PC 5 minutes before
[17:31] <bazhang> aborady, so comment them out?
[17:32] <mneptok> Traintop: if the laptop is fully off, how is the software that supposed to wake it up supposed to get any CPU time to do its job?
   ok
[17:32] <Jakman85> Traintop, the only thing I know of capable "timed events" is CRON... have you searched for a GUI for CRON jobs?
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> mneptok: some BIOSes can be told to boot at a set time:)
[17:32] <Traintop> I thought ACPI would be sufficient to do this
[17:32] <mneptok> ActionParsnip: yes. but see if that works with the AC and battery pulled ;)
[17:32] <Traintop> -turning the machine back on
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> Traintop: there is gnome-schedule
[17:33] <dean> ActionParsnip, Can you see my messages come through?
[17:33] <evan__> Does anyone know if its normal for firefox-bin and plugin-container, in system monitor, to take up a total of 400mb of memory?
[17:33] <mneptok> ActionParsnip: IOW, there has to be *some* power to the laptop from *somewhere(

[17:34] <ActionParsnip> mneptok:true, the motherboard battery, as long as there is charge the system can boot and the scheduler resumed. It's messy but possible
[17:34] <Traintop> mneptok: the laptop is connected to AC all night to load the battery; so energy is not the problem; but adjusting the acpi-timer and then start some script/prog to "wake me up" :-)
[17:34] <VirusGerm> What should I use to update a .fla file ? I can't find anything to export them.
[17:35] <evan__> edbian, version 5, plugins are Divx web player, quicktime, shockwave, vlc, windows media player
[17:35] <Traintop> VirusGerm: isn't this a flac-file?
[17:35] <mneptok> Traintop: you want to tell the BIOS to boot, then create a cronjob to fire up your music.
[17:35] <VirusGerm> Traintop, I believe so.
[17:35] <Jakman85> evan__, are you running windows?
[17:35] <edbian> evan__: windows media player?
[17:35] <edbian> evan__: Is this windows?
[17:35] <Traintop> FLAC= Free Lossless Audio Compression
[17:35] <evan__> mneptok, thanks I'll check that out
[17:35] <edbian> evan__: Check that out?!  It's your OS!
[17:35] <evan__> edbian, no ubuntu. That plugin was there when I installed firefox
[17:35] <vicio> bsmith093: what do you exactly want to do
[17:35] <VirusGerm> apt-get install flac, Traintop ?
[17:35] <Traintop> mneptok: and this still has to be done manually these days?
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> Traintop: most mobile phones have alarms, much MUCH easier
[17:36] <edbian> evan__: Get ride of quicktime, and window media player at least
[17:36] <evan__> edbian, sorry wrong person
[17:36] <edbian> evan__: that's ok
[17:36] <bsmith093> remove a bookmark from my places menu
[17:36] <indietrash> is http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download some sort of "all versions" version? i.e. can I run it as a live thing? I need to chroot and fix a kernel
[17:36] <Traintop> VirusGerm: I don't know for sure; but I'll assume so
[17:36] <VirusGerm> Yeah, TT. It worked.
[17:36] <dean> Hi could someone tell me how to install deb files on my aptoncd backup?
[17:36] <VirusGerm> :D thanks.
[17:36] <bsmith093> indietrash: well no, but yes it a livecd
[17:36] <Jakman85> evan__, how did you install ubuntu?
[17:36] <mneptok> Traintop: no, just like MacOS, you only need to visulaize in your mind what you want, and never have to touch the keyboard. ("manually?" is there any other way?)
[17:36] <WXZ> I need to setup a password for wifi for my router, but I don't have the router installation CD anymore
[17:36] <WXZ> how do I do it?
[17:36] <Monika> I have accidentally removed a USB stick that was not unmounted. Now it is not recognized anymore, it's not mountable and not even the partition manager can see it, so I can't even format it. Any ideas how to repair it?
[17:36] <evan__> Jakman85, minimal installation
[17:37] <Traintop> ActionParsnip: but the speakers from my laptop are WAY better than the one in my smartphone
   http://paste.ubuntu.com/636983/
[17:37] <mneptok> Traintop: plug the phone into the speakers
[17:37] <indietrash> bsmith093: OK hopefully it supports intel 5100 out of the box (disc)?
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> Traintop: I guess. Just leave the laptop running on a table
[17:37] <Traintop> mneptok: manually != done by package :-)
   i found these lines and commented them out
[17:37] <Jakman85> evan__, are you running gnome as your GUI?
[17:37] <bsmith093> im not sure what that is
[17:38] <evan__> Jakman85, yes
[17:38] <aborady> what about this line
[17:38] <aborady> Err http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main Sources
[17:38] <evan__> Jakman85, well i actually removed gnome panels and am now using Awn window navigator with dockbarx
[17:38] <vicio> bsmith093: wait a minute and i'll tell you how to do it
[17:38] <Somelauw> ActionParsnip: I found it on another chan, someone told me: for f in *.zip; do dir="${f%.*}"; mkdir -p "$dir"; ( cd "$dir"; unzip "../$f"; );
[17:38] <Jakman85> evan__, ok, I have never heard of WMP plugin in firefox while running linux... try disabling that and a combination of others and see if your memory usage decreases to a sane amount
[17:39] <evan__> Jakman85, its there because of Totem music player
[17:39] <bazhang> aborady, and then updated?
[17:40] <Traintop> anyway, thanks to all helpfully intended answers, I just will have to make an app for this "manually" :-)
[17:40] <Jakman85> evan__, ok, I will remember that if something like comes up again... you would think they would call it Totem add-on :-)
[17:40] <evan__> Jackman85, :)
[17:41] <pdtpatrick> where does empathy store user information on ur ~ dir... i know pidgin uses .purple. Where's empathy's ?
[17:42] <Jakman85> evan__, I am running firefox 5, 8 tabs running, with flash, HTML 5, etc... memory usage is 141 MB

[17:42] <dimas_> why i dont get at upgrade of the new version of an application if the repositories are in ubuntu?
   Reading package lists... Done
[17:42] <evan__> Jackman85, Yea, i figured something was wrong =\
   now update manager must work fine ???
[17:43] <stowoda> hi
[17:43] <koegs> can anybody tell me how to map the Pause-Key to "< > |" with xmodmap?
[17:43] <Jakman85> evan__, 64-bit or 32-bit?
[17:43] <bazhang> aborady, try it, should do
[17:43] <evan__> Jackman85, i disabled windows media player, divx, quicktime and restarted and now its at 139 mb usage
[17:43] <stowoda> my usb flash drive has always this name /media/466E-F210
[17:43] <evan__> Jackman85, 64-bit
[17:43] <stowoda> can I rename it?
[17:44] <dr_willis> stowoda,  give the filesystem a proper label. with windows (or windows tools) or tune2fs command
[17:44] <dr_willis> or via gparted
[17:44] <stowoda> understand.. thx, dr_willis
[17:44] <Jakman85> evan__, ok, one of them is the culprit then... if you have enough memory for the plugins without it affecting the performance of your computer, then 400 mb shouldnt be an issue
[17:45] <vicio> bsmith093: still there??
[17:45] <bsmith093> yes
[17:45] <bsmith093> just found out how, though so thanks.
[17:46] <tom_ubuntu> Hi, does anyone use evolution with gnupg? I'd like it to automatically encrypt replies to encrypted mails, but it doesn't and there seems to be no such option. Does anyone have a solution? I found none in several forums.
[17:46] <vicio> bsmith093: ok
[17:46] <Ether_Man> Anyone that has a fully set up Samba4 on natty that knows the new instructions mentioned http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.samba.internals/54920 are? Because I kindof have that same error and cant find anything about what to do about that error :/   bind does read the keyfile so it's not a permission or location thing (verified with strace)
   Yes bro working synaptic is reloading too , thanks bro for good info
[17:46] <evan__> Jackman85, well its definitely helped some. Now I have 8 tabs open with flash and its less than 300, firefox-bin and plugin-container

[17:46] <Fox__> What do i have edit in the boot options line when installing 11.04 to a tower with a NVidia graphics card
[17:47] <evan__> Jackman85, thank you for that :D
[17:47] <dr_willis> Fox__,  what options?
[17:47] <Jakman85> evan__, no problem!
[17:47] <dr_willis> !nomodeset | Fox__
[17:47] <dr_willis> Fox__,  i have to use nomodeset for my nvidia systems to boot properly,
[17:48] <Fox__> dr_willis, ive tried nomodeset but i still get the same crash. Is there more i might need to do?
[17:48] <Jakman85> dr_willis, really? I have 8800 GTS 512 SLI, and it boots perfectly. Any particular generation of cards you had to do this with?
[17:48] <tom_ubuntu> No one using evolution and gnupg?
[17:49] <dr_willis> Jakman85,  all 3 of my nvidia systems have issues with novual or whatever taht driver is called.. ones an 8800gtsxxx, other was a 5500, 3rd is a laptop with a 360m
[17:49] <Jakman85> tom_ubuntu, I use evolution, I dont think i use gnupg, but I could be wrong
[17:49] <Fox__> dr_willis, its a Nvidia GEForce 6200
[17:49] <tom_ubuntu> Okay, so you don't encrypt emails usually?
[17:50] <dr_willis> Jakman85,  and a forth.. with GeForce 6150SE
[17:50] <tom_ubuntu> thanks anyway, bye
[17:50] <dr_willis> Fox__,  all i can say is i have to use nomodeset, and nosplash on most all of them to disable plymouth and get to a low-res screen so i can run the installer.. or use the alternavei installer cd. and then install the nvidia drivers after you get the system going
[17:51] <Jakman85> dr_willis, oh, you are using the open-source driver... I use the one from nvidia. Thats the discrepancy.
[17:52] <dr_willis> Jakman85,   i HAVE to use the one from nvidia.. but i cant even get the live cd to boot with the open sourced ones without those options.. I use options.. install the os..  then install the drivers from Nvidia. I dont need the options then.
[17:52] <dr_willis> in the past. ive remastered my ubuntu cd's to include the nvidia drivers. :)
[17:53] <indietrash> can I - with the ubuntu liveCD-thing - chroot into a Gentoo Linux environment and use make menuconfig and make && make install my kernel & modules?
[17:53] <prower> hello again :> the java packages provided in "parters" is out of date/vulnerable to a few security issues...is there any way that i could install the official jdk from their website and use that instead?
[17:53] <Jakman85> dr_willis, I see. That is interesting. Is there any error messages with the open-source driver, or does it just segfault and die?
[17:53] <dr_willis> indietrash,  you shouild be able to..
[17:53] <Fox__> dr_willis, ive done the nomodeset, but how to nosplash?
[17:53] <dr_willis> Jakman85,  it eitehr just shows black screen, or totally garbled display,.
[17:53] <dr_willis> Fox__,  try it.. its not like its going to cost you money. :)
[17:53] <indietrash> dr_willis: thanks. hope it works.
[17:54] <dr_willis> Fox__,  i always use nosplash and noquiet with nomodeset
[17:54] <dr_willis> I hate plymouth with a passion. :)
[17:54] <Fox__> dr_willis, i dont see those on the F6 options tab.. only nomodeset
[17:54] <dr_willis> type them in perhaps..
[17:55] <Jakman85> hm... can you switch terminals? (ctrl+alt+F1 - F6)
[17:55] <dr_willis> I normally set up a live-flash drive with them all in the default syslinux.cfg settings
[17:55] <Fox__> what is the specific commmands for those?
[17:55] <raven_> how to force manually software-updates to versions newer than the actual installed ubuntu
[17:55] <dr_willis> edit the boot line -->  'nomodeset noquiet nosplash'
[17:56] <Soothsayer> how do I add a panel to my second monitor in gnome classic ?
[17:56] <dimas_> could someone help compile an application without asking why i dont use ubuntu installer?
[17:56] <Jakman85> dimas_, sure
[17:57] <kaziem> Soothsayer, try right-clicking on an existing panel on the first monitor, then clicking "new panel", then moving the new panel where you want
[17:57] <raven_> how to force manually software-updates to versions newer than the actual installed ubuntu-version provides?
[17:57] <noisewaterphd> dimas_, real men compile from source
[17:57] <Fox__> dr_willis, just tried it... same crash
[17:57] <Jakman85> noisewaterphd, i concur ;-)
[17:57] <dr_willis> !compile
[17:57] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  create a new panel, alt-click on it, drag it to the other display
[17:57] <dimas_> well i will throw the site here and we start step by step?
[17:58] <godtrunks1> how i install a ralink 802 11 wlan driver??
[17:58] <noisewaterphd> dimas_, usually inside the application source you downloaded there will be a readme file that will outline all of the commands and arguments you need to run
[17:58] <beyoblue> I got a problem running Jack
[17:58] <dimas_> http://idjc.sourceforge.net/install_build.html
[17:58] <dimas_> i know i know
[17:58] <dimas_> not that stupid
[17:58] <Soothsayer> dr_willis, trying that, not happening. I'm alt+clicking but it doesn't move anywhere... not even on the same monitor
[17:58] <Jakman85> isnt Jack deprecated? (i could be wrong)
[17:58] <beyoblue> as far as i know it isnt
[17:59] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  could be thats been removed from 11.04 - i dont use unity or gnome-classic any more
[17:59] <Soothsayer> dr_willis, KDE ?
[17:59] <dr_willis> I perfer Lubuntu/lxde for now..
[17:59] <dr_willis> kde is ok. but overkill for me
[17:59] <Jakman85> beyoblue, are you compiling from source or is there a package in the software center?
[17:59] <raven_> how to force manually software-updates to versions newer than the actual installed ubuntu-version provides?
[17:59] <dr_willis> I just bought a new monitor today. :) so soon will ahve dual monitor setup also
[17:59] <beyoblue> software center
[18:00] <noisewaterphd> dimas_, all of the compile instructions for the make file are right at the bottom of the page you posted?
[18:00] <Soothsayer> dr_willis, lxde looks ugly.
[18:00] <dr_willis> Rave1,  clarify what you mean..  you have some newer .deb package? or what exactly
[18:00] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  never noticed.. looks fine to me..
[18:00] <noisewaterphd> dimas_, so you are going to have to be specific about your problem
[18:00] <Beerforfree> hi does some one knows how to disable acpi on kubuntu?
[18:00] <Soothsayer> dr_willis,  let me know if you find any good add-on's for dual monitor
[18:00] <dr_willis> Beerforfree,  use the noapcpi kernel boot option
[18:00] <dimas_> Jakman85 would you help me then? i already installed the dependencies but i get stocked with the compiling after i say ./env-up it tells me that a file is missing and cant automake
[18:00] <beyoblue> what Im actually trying to do is this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1260057
[18:01] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  what sort of addons you mean? i used to use dual monitors all the time. never really needed any 'addons'
[18:01] <beyoblue> get Fl Studio running by Wine
[18:01] <Jakman85> dimas_, can you send me a link to the source?
[18:01] <xangua>  Beerforfree install startup-manag3r and you can disabl3 th3 s3rvic3s from th3r3
[18:01] <dimas_> sure
[18:01] <Soothsayer> dr_willis, i need a taskbar in the second monitor which tells me which all windows belong to the second monitor.
[18:01] <noisewaterphd> dimas_, pastebin the complete actual error
[18:01] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  any of the docks can do that also.. gnome-panel used to work that way.  i dont have ubuntu on my dual monitor setup at the moment.
[18:02] <noisewaterphd> Jakman85, http://idjc.sourceforge.net/install_build.html
[18:02] <dimas_> Jakman85 http://idjc.sourceforge.net/install_build.html
[18:02] <godtrunks1> how to install ralink 802 11 wlan driver?
[18:02] <xangua> Beerforfree sorry , is bootup manag3r
[18:02] <noisewaterphd> dimas_, pastebin the whole error
[18:02] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  and I dont think the window-listing apps can tell which one is in what monitor.. just what 'desktop'
[18:02] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  multi-monitors dont work that way
[18:02] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  unless you ran 2 seperate X sessions.. but that has its own issues.
[18:02] <dimas_> noisewaterphd i want to start from the begining so i am going to delete the package from downloads and start with your help
[18:03] <godtrunks1> how to install ralink 802 11 wlan
[18:03] <Soothsayer> dr_willis, well, they do work that way on Windows at least.
[18:03] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  cant say ive ever noticed having 2 panels on windows..
[18:03] <dr_willis> or 2 seperate window-listing things in windows.. but this isent windows.. :)
[18:03] <godtrunks1> how to install ralink 802 11 wlan
[18:04] <godtrunks1> how i install ralink 802 11 wlan
[18:04] <dr_willis> !wireless | godtrunks1
[18:04] <godtrunks1> i have a asus wsb driver
[18:04] <Fox__> dr_willis, tried "nomodeset nosplash noquiet" in all different orders, by them selves.. everything.. still get this screen http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g432/Tyler_Cantrell/Photo07012328.jpg
[18:04] <envygeeks> godtrunks1: what is the model of your asus and the model of the chipset?
[18:05] <Monika> lsusb erwähnt Bus 001 Device 004: ID 058f:1234 Alcor Micro Corp. Flash Drive
[18:05] <godtrunks1> is a usb wireless
[18:05] <envygeeks> godtrunks1: please run lsusb and give us the output of your Asus line for the wireless
[18:05] <dr_willis> Fox__,  that looks more like a badly burnt cd,. or bad iso file issue to me.. not a video issue
[18:05] <godtrunks1> ASUSTek Computer, Inc. 802.11n Network Adapter
[18:05] <dr_willis> Fox__,  those PAGE error messages may be refering to bad memory also.
[18:06] <Fox__> dr_willis, i used the same CD to install it to the laptop i am on now (win7/Natty)
[18:06] <raven_> how to force manually software-updates to versions newer than the actual installed ubuntu-version provides?
[18:06] <dr_willis> Fox__,  could be dirty.. hard to tell.
[18:06] <godtrunks1> and i don't know how to install the drivers
[18:06] <dr_willis> Fox__,  those messages are nothing liek the errors i get with my nvidia cards
[18:06] <envygeeks> godtrunks1: can you look on the dongle and give me a model number?
[18:06] <envygeeks> Without a model number I can't help you as I won't know if you can use built in drivers or if you need to compile
[18:07] <godtrunks1> how i do that? i'm new with linux
[18:07] <savid> Anyone have any idea why they decided to remove clipboard support from  vim in 11.04?
[18:07] <Jakman85> dimas_, i got it to compile
[18:07] <Fox__> dr_willis, this tower was using XP and crashed.. ive since then completely wiped it off.. possibly bad HDD?
[18:07] <dr_willis> raven_,  clarify what you mean by that.. I dont think anyone understands what youa re trying to do.
[18:07] <dr_willis> Fox__,  or bad ram..
[18:07] <envygeeks> godtrunks1: pull out the wifi dongle from the USB port and look on it, there should be a model number
[18:07] <dr_willis> Fox__,  or mouse in the case making a nest.. eatting your cables.. :)
[18:07] <noisewaterphd> dimas_, I was also able to compile and install
[18:07] <dimas_> Jakman85 would you help me do it then?
[18:07] <dr_willis> Fox__,  had that happen once..
[18:07] <godtrunks1> model usb-n13
[18:08] <noisewaterphd> dimas_, if you just post the error I think you are just missing some tools
[18:08] <dimas_> i know you guys know what to do
[18:08] <noisewaterphd> dimas_, or the wrong version of automake, etc..
[18:08] <dr_willis> 'bad page state in process swapper' sure sounds like some sort of memory type error
[18:08] <Fox__> dr_willis, yeah seen one like that before..but this one is clean.. gonna try the ram in diff slot.. 4 to use only one 2gb stick
[18:08] <Bliepo> Hey guys, I have a dying harddisk and want to copy all data from it before it is totally done. Basically, I want to copy the files one by one and use md5 (or crc if possible) to check wheter the file was copied correctly. However, I want the md5 (or crc) to be determinded on the fly, so I don't tax the almost dead drive more than needed. Any ideas on how to do this?
[18:08] <dr_willis> Fox__,  the live cd has a memtest option
[18:08] <dr_willis> Bliepo,  rsync, or fsarchiver
[18:09] <Bliepo> thanks, I'll look inot it
[18:09] <dr_willis> Bliepo,  or dd  (or dd_rescue) (or ddrescue) it to a file on a backup drive. then recover from that file.
[18:09] <Fox__> dr_willis, running memtest
[18:09] <Beerforfree> xangua where do I find the boot manager?
[18:10] <Soothsayer> Unable to get exclusive lock. This means another package management app like aptitude is already running.
[18:10] <xangua> on softwar3 c3nt34
[18:10] <Soothsayer> How do I fix this?
[18:10] <xangua> synaptic
[18:10] <Fox__> dr_willis, im getting ALOT of red...
[18:10] <Bliepo> dr_willis, I would do that, but the drive 'disconnects' during file copies. I only have about an hour to copy files each time I connect it.
[18:10] <dr_willis> Fox__,  so quickly? thats.. bad.
[18:10] <godtrunks1>  envygeeks: what shoud i do?
[18:10] <dr_willis> Bliepo,  ddrescue is designed for such a issue..
[18:10] <dr_willis> Bliepo,  it can keep a log file. and try to recover other parts on each run.
[18:10] <dr_willis> http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html
[18:11] <dr_willis> Bliepo,  if usiong ddrescue be SURE to tell it a logfile. or you miss out on its best features
[18:11] <envygeeks> godtrunks1: please hold, getting the driver information for you
[18:11] <dr_willis> The logfile is periodically saved to disc. So in case of a crash you can resume the rescue with little recopying.
[18:11] <godtrunks1> ok
[18:11] <Fox__> dr_willis, its all errors.. nothing has passed so far
[18:11] <Bliepo> dr_willis, thanks, will do that.
[18:11] <godtrunks1> i have the driver
[18:11] <dr_willis> Fox__,  time for a cleaning and  check up. :)
[18:11] <godtrunks1> i read the readmefile
[18:12] <godtrunks1> i try to do what is in there but no result
[18:12] <godtrunks1> and not all the commands r working
[18:12] <envygeeks> godtrunks1: did you download: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/wireless/USB-N13/Linux_2302.zip then make all install and then unplug and replugin the dongle?
[18:12] <dr_willis> Bliepo,  i had a 1.3 tb hd go bad on me.. ddresued'd it to a file on a new 3tb hd.. and revovered most everything.. took over a WEEk to do.. but it worked.. :)
[18:13] <envygeeks> godtrunks1: you also need to make sure to edit os/linux/config.mk and change wpa_supplicant (both of them) to y
[18:13] <dr_willis> Bliepo,  then the silly 1.3 tb hd started working again!. :) it went to the kids  pc to hold their cartoons after that..
[18:13] <Fox__> dr_willis, suggesting new ram? kinda short on funds
[18:13] <stealthboy> how to get latest mesa
[18:13] <godtrunks1> i have that but i don't know how to install it
[18:14] <dr_willis> Fox__,  take apart. clean, reseat.  try one stick at a time.. try differnt slots.. see if you can narrow it down.
[18:14] <dr_willis> Fox__,  i had a MB with one slot that went bad. not the ram
[18:14] <Soothsayer> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[18:14] <Bliepo> dr_willis, thanks. I already knew about ddrescue, but I hadn't though of using it. Stupid me.
[18:14] <dr_willis> Bliepo,  :)  its a lifesaver
[18:14] <dr_willis> Bliepo,  if you got the HD space.
[18:14] <godtrunks1> i mannage to unpack it
[18:14] <stealthboy> how to get latest mesa
[18:14] <Fox__> dr_willis, its a 4 slot motherboard and i have ONE 2gb Kingston
[18:15] <godtrunks1> but i don't know what shoud i do after
[18:15] <envygeeks> godtrunks: unzip it then do sudo -i [insert password when it asks] then cd to the directory, then do "make all install", then after it compiles and installs, unplug the adapater and plug it back in
[18:15] <qjqqyy> how to set root password, just "sudo passwd root"
[18:15] <Soothsayer> When I do a sudo dpkg --configure -a the problem doesn't get fixed. It's this package called 'noip2' which does not install perfectly.
[18:15] <dr_willis> Fox__,  that narrows down the  ways it can be installed then.
[18:15] <stealthboy> how to get latest mesa
[18:15] <prower> mmh...so no one knows of a way i could install oracle's jdk manually in 11.04? :< i've been searching on google for a guide but all of them reference a program called make-jpkg, which hasn't been in ubuntu for a long time...the partners version is vulnerable, including the browser plugin
[18:15] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  try removeing it?
[18:15] <kaziem> Soothsayer, create lots of panels, they will fill all sides of the screen in the first display, then fill the ones on the second display. After that, delete the unnecessary and leave the one on the second display that you wanted to use
[18:15] <stealthboy> how to get latest mesa
[18:15] <Fox__> dr_willis, ram is a little warm.. maybe its the wrong voltage?
[18:16] <dr_willis> kaziem,  thats.. creative.. :)
[18:16] <Soothsayer> dr_willis, it removes successfully
[18:16] <kaziem> dr_willis, yep... but that's what I was forced to use myself too :)
[18:16] <Soothsayer> kaziem, haha.. im going to try that soon :)
[18:16] <dr_willis> Fox__,  hard to tell. memtest is putting it through its paces.
[18:16] <stealthboy> how to get latest mesa
[18:16] <dr_willis> kaziem,  :)
[18:16] <Soothsayer> trying to start the KDE download here
[18:16] <kaziem> dr_willis, Soothsayer and trust me it works!!
[18:16] <kaziem> hehe
[18:16] <dr_willis> stealthboy,  ppa, or source..
[18:16] <stealthboy> ok
[18:16] <stealthboy> thanks
[18:16] <qjqqyy> stealthboy ubuntu's mesa is fairly recent, being based on debian sid
[18:16] <bazhang> stealthboy, dont repeat so quickly
[18:16] <Fox__> dr_willis, never known a kingston DDR2 to go bad on me before
[18:16] <Soothsayer> haha
[18:16] <Soothsayer> got the panel after creating 3 panels, kaziem
[18:17] <kaziem> Soothsayer, hehe.. I did have the same problem like you explained... before 10.10 I was able to move panels, but not anymore
[18:17] <godtrunks1> how i give the path?
[18:18] <envygeeks> godtrunks1: cd path/to/file
[18:19] <Fox__> dr_willis, powersupply is a mess.. wires are just about covering the ram... interference?
[18:19] <dr_willis> Fox__,   tape and wireties.. ive never had wires cause interfearance befor.
[18:19] <j_mNB> lol
[18:19] <dr_willis> Fox__,  i have had sharp edges cut wires, and  cases touching the edges of heatsinks cause issues.
[18:20] <Beerforfree> xangua, I'm too dum give another hint System Settings....?
[18:20] <Fox__> dr_willis, btw i didnt build this tower it was my gf's fathers... built from ground up
[18:20] <xangua> op3n synaptic and seeeeeeee3arch boot up manag3r
[18:20] <xangua> agg my k3yboar is ebrok3n :S
[18:20] <xangua> s33 you
[18:20]  * dr_willis getxs xangua  a new keyboard.
[18:21] <dr_willis> i mean k3b0@rd
[18:21] <dr_willis> I wonderd if xangua was having mechanical issues.. or just typed worse then i do - when im on my cellphone
[18:21] <Guest38993> how can i make pics smaller before emailing them?
[18:21] <evon> is there a linux equivalent to network magic?
[18:22] <j_mNB> with the gimp
[18:22] <envygeeks> evon: network magic?
[18:22] <j_mNB> load them in the gimp scale them down
[18:22] <evon> envygeeks: it allows you to view what computers are connected to your wireless network
[18:22] <evon> envygeeks: i suspect someone may be sapping my connection
[18:22] <j_mNB> and save them as jpeg with lower qualitiy
[18:23] <vicio> evon: and what is network magic
[18:23] <j_mNB> maybe 21% quality or so
[18:23] <evon> J-mNB: use GIMP
[18:23] <dr_willis> evon,  my router has a feature to do that.. show clients..
[18:23]  * Soothsayer is downloading KDE.. sick of gnome :@
[18:23] <Fox__> lets hope i live.. her father was found on floor beside this tower..
[18:23] <evon> dr_willis: mine does not
[18:23] <envygeeks> evon: normally I check that within the router rather then using some high level application
[18:23] <dr_willis> evon,  change your password.. restart router.. see it gets better. :)
[18:23] <evon> envygeeks: my router doesn't have that feature
[18:24] <dr_willis> turn off all wireless gizmos.. see if wireless light still blinks. :)
[18:24] <evon> dr_willis. I will do that but I want to find out who is doing it first
[18:24] <dr_willis> You dont even know IF someone is actually doing it.
[18:25] <vicio> evon: you can install etherape
[18:25] <Soothsayer> fuck, wait you got to be kidding me.
[18:25] <vicio> evon:or u can use nmap
[18:25] <Soothsayer> I'm moving Windows from one monitor to another and it disappears from the taskbar in that monitor
[18:25] <bazhang> Soothsayer, no cursing here
[18:25] <littlebearz> What
[18:25] <Soothsayer> bazhang, im sorry..
[18:25] <Soothsayer> dr_willis, kaziem: did you hear me?
[18:25] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  the window  listing widgit may have settings for that :) i tend to make them show ALL windows on all desktops..
[18:25] <envygeeks> Could also be a congested channel.  Take your router off of auto and go below 11 (most routers tend to auto at 11 or 14 if they're Cisco I've noticed)
[18:26] <Soothsayer> dr_willis, where exactly do I find those settings?
[18:26] <dr_willis> I dont work with monitors the way you do. :)
[18:26] <dr_willis> Soothsayer,  use to be right click on the windows widgit in the panel.
[18:27] <Soothsayer> nothing happens with right click.. i only get the options for it! I can't even remove this widget from the panel if I want to!
[18:27] <evon> vicio, i will try both of those
[18:27] <godtrunks1> thx
[18:27] <godtrunks1> guys
[18:27] <godtrunks1> now one more thing
[18:27] <dr_willis> You have to right click in the right place Soothsayer  i belive...
[18:27] <vicio> evon: etherpae has gui nmap is in terminal
[18:27] <dr_willis> but again. this may have changed in the ubuntu-classic. I dont use classic.
[18:27] <littlebearz> Soothsayer: I thought its ctrl alt right
[18:27] <evon> vicio, installing them now. I will try them out
[18:27] <vicio> evon:ok
[18:27] <Soothsayer> dr_willis, oh, there is a right place.. at the extreme left.
[18:28] <Soothsayer> how does the position of a new widget in the panel get decided? Why does it randomly appear in the centre.. what if I want a widget to the right of a panel?
[18:28] <stormzen> I have an issue with Karmic ( yes, I know I need to update ... that's what I'm working toward right now ) that after I burn a DVD with Brasero, I can no longer access the DVD writer.  Anyone know how to 'reset' it?
[18:28] <godtrunks1> what will happen if my computer is open and i put a videocard ?
[18:29] <stormzen> Can I kill/restart something in the hardware layer to have it recognize the drive again?
[18:29] <Soothsayer> dr_willis, what if this feature disappears the next time I reboot :-( I have no idea how this happened lol
[18:29] <evon> vicio, etherape is telling me it can't find a suitable device
[18:29] <vicio> stormzen: sudo aptitude --purge remove brasero then sudo apt-get install brasero
[18:30] <The_Tick> I'm having problems finding the documentation on how to move an installation to non-stable packages
[18:30] <vicio> evon:you have to tell eth0 is the device
[18:30] <lwq_laptop> hi there
[18:31] <The_Tick> does anyone know where those docs are?
[18:31] <evon> vicio, i've looked through the prefences and I cannot find a place to tell it what device to use
[18:31] <vicio> evon: and you have to run it with sudo
[18:31] <evon> vicio oh i c
[18:31] <Soothsayer> WOW, all of a sudden everything about the panels is working for me. Is this because I'm trying to install KDE in the background? :-P
[18:31] <lwq_laptop> does anyone know a good non-linear video editing software that runs on linux
[18:31] <stormzen> vicio, Thanks.  Did that.  DVD drive still doesn't respond.
[18:31] <stormzen> ( It won't even open. )
[18:31] <evon> vicio, ok running it with sudo worked
[18:32] <vicio> evon:ok
[18:32] <Ether_Man> Sigh... So many problems with openchange...  And it's even missing several required components like the provisioning scripts...
[18:32] <evon> vicio, now I just have to figure out how to read it ;-)
[18:33] <vicio> evon:it isnt hard to understand
[18:33] <Poindexter_> Greets to Dr_Willis. Nice to see you again.  :)
[18:34] <evon> vicio, i can't tell which node is my computer
[18:35] <stormzen> vicio, ah, trying to mount it seemed to re-enable it.  Thanks!
[18:35] <vicio> stromzen:youre welcome ;)
[18:36] <vicio> evon:just watch the name of your pc in the window
[18:36] <wangerin1> Is anyone aware of a install/setup-guide for ClassBot ? We're trying to setup a local system here in DK

[18:40] <Poindexter_> Evon I get goose bumps watching that command window open up.   :)

[18:42] <Poindexter_> Maybe

[18:44] <godtrunks1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/637006/
[18:44] <Poindexter_> Bazhang stop your nonsense. You have been told on multiple times to curb your foolish comments. It is time you cease and desist.
[18:44] <GatekeeperZA> oooi all who can help my ubuntu 11 is cr*p slow
[18:46] <tonyyarusso> GatekeeperZA: There's no such thing as "ubuntu 11" - specify your actual version when asking for help, and preferably provide more diagnostic information if you can.
[18:47] <vicio> godtrunks1:ubuntu version??
[18:47] <godtrunks1> 11
[18:48] <godtrunks1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/637010/
[18:48] <vicio> godtrunks1:sorry have no idea
[18:48] <godtrunks1> i want to install ASUSTek Computer, Inc. 802.11n Network Adapter driver
[18:48] <Jakman85> hey, anyone experience ubuntu asking for Default key-ring password whenever they boot and it always fails (regardless if I enter the correct password or if I remove the password altogether)?
[18:49] <godtrunks1> so vicio can u help me install the wireless driver?
[18:49] <vicio> Jakman85: when that window apear you just write your sudo password
[18:49] <Jakman85> vicio, I do, and it still fails
[18:50] <GatekeeperZA> its ubuntu and its 11 and . and 04 and its desktop, i316 its called natty on a p4 3.2 , 2gb ram ati rv350 with tweaked xorg running unity, 2 bonded nics, etc.
[18:50] <Jakman85> I even removed the password from the keyring manager... and it still does it
[18:50] <godtrunks1> can anyone help me with my driver?
[18:51] <Jakman85> it repeats the asking of the password 3 times, and then it stops
[18:51] <th0r> godtrunks1: I would try using the windows drivers and ndiswrapper before trying to compile from source
[18:52] <godtrunks1> i don't know how.i'm new in linux
[18:52] <Nisstyre> th0r: why the hell would you use a buggy wrapper if you had the source code available to compile?
[18:53] <acicula> Nisstyre: you cant just transplant kernel drivers between versions and expect it to work
[18:53] <th0r> Nisstyre: because he has no idea how to even use ndiswrapper, much less try to set up ubuntu to compile successfully. That's why the hell I would
[18:54] <th0r> godtrunks1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/ndiswrapper.html
[18:55] <Nisstyre> acicula: there's this thing called a kernel module
[18:56] <acicula> im aware of linux internals, its just not a good idea
[18:57] <Nisstyre> acicula: people do it every day. Compiling kernel modules and then loading them is not a big deal, or a problem, or even close to a bad thing to do.
[18:58] <th0r> godtrunks1: also look at installing ndisgtk, it will give you a gui interface to ndiswrapper
[18:59] <nick12345> teste
[18:59] <centHOGG> 2
[18:59] <Oer> 3
[18:59] <centHOGG> xtra teste?
[19:00] <acicula> fine your sound argumentation convinced me
[19:02] <orchata> How can I find out if I have wireless driver installed in my laptop (Ubuntu 11.04  -   Acer Aspire 3620)
[19:02] <centHOGG> sudo lspci
[19:03] <centHOGG> oops lsmod
[19:04] <acicula> orchata: if its supported in most cases it is installed by ubuntu or can be enable via the hardware driver tool
[19:05] <acicula> *enabled
[19:05] <orchata> acicula: Well, I am not sure if it is installed
[19:06] <limpc> hey has anyone had any luck getting the debug version of libflashplayer.so working with firefox in ubuntu 11.04?
[19:06] <acicula> orchata: can  you see any wireless networks ?
[19:06] <limpc> it worked in 10 but i havent had any luck in 11
[19:06] <Davor> hi
[19:06] <orchata> acicula: Nope
[19:07] <limpc> i copied it to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/.  replacing the original, but wheneve i load a site with flash i just get an error message saying the site requires flash 10 or higher
[19:07] <Davor> I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 on my netbook so I'm doing it via a USB stick. But when I boot it, it simply prints out the "SYSLINUX 4.04..." text and hangs there.
[19:07] <dork> my sound just randomly stopped working on natty, dell vostro 3350 - worked fine on starting a video then stopped abruptly
[19:07] <acicula> orchata: have you installed any updates yet?
[19:07] <Davor> help?
[19:07] <orchata> acicula: It is not my computer, I am just trying to reanimate it. It used to run XP and now installed ubuntu 11.04. (Wireless works just fine in XP, even the indicator light is on)
[19:08] <limpc> orchata, likely the wireless chipset isnt recognized by the generic drivers available to the kernel
[19:08] <limpc> you'll need to find which one is compatible, or download from the vendor's site if available
[19:09] <orchata> acicula: I believe it did. Because put it to update and just left
[19:09] <orchata> acicula: Now I don't have any internet access on that computer
[19:09] <acicula> orchata: the initial basic steps are make sure its updated, that means plugging in a cable, then use "Additional drivers" and check if you need to enable a driver for your wifi. If you still dont see networks in your network applet you may need to do more. Also lspci in a console will list exactly what wifi card.
[19:09] <acicula> orchata: the wired connection does not work either?
[19:12] <orchata> I just did a System Testing and it detected   "Broadcom Corporation BCM4318[AirForce One 54g]802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 1)  Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C+(rev 10)"
[19:13] <centHOGG> orchata: try installing the fwcutter for broadcom
[19:13] <lbracher> Hi there! I made an apt-get upgrade in my ubuntu 10.10 and I lost all network configuration. I rewrote an /etc/network/interfaces from scratch, but my wireless (proprietary driver) doesn't work anymore. Can anybody help me?
[19:13] <myxlplykx> is there anyone here?
[19:13] <oCean> myxlplykx: many are here, do you have a support question?
[19:13] <Myrtti> myxlplykx: quite a few
[19:14] <orchata> acicula: I don't have any internet access right now. I am connected to my cell phone with my own laptop. But I cannot do that to the other laptop because updating computer with my cell will be pretty expensive
[19:14] <limpc> orchata, ah thats the same as the one in my laptop. it worked fine when i used the detect proprietary drivers applet
[19:14] <acicula> orchata: yeah i can imagine
[19:14] <myxlplykx> can anyone help i got a new bigger harddrive and installed Ubuntu 11.4 on it and it cant recotnize my wireless card can anyone help?
[19:15] <acicula> orchata: ill have a look at that chip, but i guess its going to be what limpc says, its supproted but you need to update first
[19:15] <io> !wireless | myxlplykx
[19:15] <myxlplykx> tried that nothing came up

[19:15] <pyghassen> hi I have a d-link switch I don't know how to configure it on ubuntu
[19:15] <orchata> centHOGG:  what is fwcutter ?
[19:16] <lbracher> ubottu: nice! I'll try. Thanks a lot!
[19:16] <centHOGG> google fwcutter & broadcom ubuntu
[19:16] <dork> how do i select which kernel grub boots with on startup? is there a key ?
[19:16] <oCean> centHOGG: please don't suggest 'to google', thanks
[19:16] <godtrunks1> thor is not working..
[19:16] <edbian> centHOGG: Who are you talking to?
[19:16] <myxlplykx> how are you guys
[19:16] <edbian> orchata: Do you have a broadcom card?
[19:16] <pyghassen> anybody knows how to configure a dlink switch?
[19:16] <oCean> myxlplykx: #ubuntu-offtopic for chat, not here
[19:16] <centHOGG> orchata: b43-fwcutter
[19:17] <edbian> centHOGG: thanks
[19:17] <dr_willis> dork,  theres settings in the grub config files.
[19:17] <dr_willis> !grub2 | dork
[19:17] <Jakman85> man, i guess broadcom chipsets still have to use ndiswrapper?
[19:17] <edbian> pyghassen: Usually one does not have to configure a switch for any OS.  Is this a switch or a router?  What is the problem?
[19:17] <edbian> Jakman85: no
[19:17] <edbian> Jakman85: Some maybe. What card do you have?
[19:17] <Jakman85> lol, then why use it?
[19:17] <myxlplykx> oCean: sorry will sdo that
[19:17] <edbian> Jakman85: Some broadcom chipsets need it
[19:17] <dork> karmic? seriously?
[19:17] <pyghassen> it's a switch edbian
[19:18] <Jakman85> i had nightmares 5 years back getting it to work... and it was buggy as all get-out
[19:18] <edbian> pyghassen: What is the problem?  Plug it in, it should work.  There is nothing to configure
[19:18] <io> pyghassen: configure a switch?
[19:18] <dr_willis> 5 years ago is a long time in computer-years :)
[19:18] <godtrunks1> hi i make a black list using this command
[19:18] <godtrunks1> echo -e "blacklist bcm43xx\nblacklist b43\nblacklist b43legacy\nblacklist ssb" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[19:18] <edbian> Jakman85: 5 years ago was a long time ago.  Especially in linux
[19:18] <acicula> orchata: according to the wiki it might work without updating if you run apt-get update && sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source and then try to active the driver via additional drivers
[19:18] <acicula> still requires some downloading though
[19:18] <godtrunks1> how i undo it?
[19:18] <pyghassen> I googled the matter, they said, I have to open the browser on <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:18] <dr_willis> godtrunks1,  edit the blacklist file with a text editor and remove the changes
[19:18] <edbian> pyghassen: That assumes you have a router.
[19:18] <pyghassen> but nothing came up
[19:18] <godtrunks1> how
[19:19] <godtrunks1> :-s
[19:19] <edbian> pyghassen: What is the problem?
[19:19] <dr_willis> godtrunks1,  use a text editor.... run it as root with sudo or gksudo.  edit the file..
[19:19] <dr_willis> !info gedit
[19:19] <dr_willis> gksudo gedit /path/to/the/file
[19:19] <godtrunks1> what file shoud i edit?
[19:19] <pyghassen> I can't connect it
[19:19] <pyghassen> it doesn't work
[19:19] <io> pyghassen: your question is unrelated to ubuntu
[19:19] <dr_willis> the blacklist file. /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[19:19] <edbian> pyghassen: Can you connect without this switch?
[19:20] <acicula> pyghassen: it may have another ip set
[19:20] <orchata> OK. Thanks gusy, I will be have to switch my internet to another laptop so will tell you later if it worked
[19:20] <mck182> hi, I have a problem with macbook pro (7.1) and backlight control which does not work (probably a missing kernel module?), latest kubuntu 11.04 with nvidia 275 (beta) driver...when trying to modprobe mbp_nvidia_bl, it says no such device.....any ideas on how to make the backlight working?
[19:20] <acicula> orchata: good luck
[19:20] <Jakman85> edbian, i know, which is why i thought ndiswrapper was gone by now... but i guess it just has to be used with newer broadcom chipsets
[19:20] <pyghassen> I have a 3G broadband I need to make it work in my desktop too
[19:20] <godtrunks1> i simply delete the folder?
[19:20] <acicula> godtrunks1: no dont do that
[19:21] <edbian> Jakman85: I'm not sure which chipsets require it and which don't.  Do you have broadcom card you're trying to get working?
[19:21] <pyghassen> I have no idea what is the IP of the switch
[19:21] <dr_willis> godtrunks1,  use a text editor....  edit the file..   no one said to delete a folder...
[19:21] <godtrunks1> i delete what is inside?
[19:21] <dr_willis> godtrunks1,  you EDIT the file that is in the folder..
[19:21] <acicula> godtrunks1: no some of the files in there need to be there
[19:21] <godtrunks1> blacklist bcm43xx
[19:21] <godtrunks1> blacklist b43
[19:21] <godtrunks1> blacklist b43legacy
[19:21] <godtrunks1> blacklist ssb
[19:21] <FloodBot1> godtrunks1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:21] <pyghassen> or it's not necessary ?
[19:21] <Guest53606> how can me start network manager in lxde please
[19:21] <acicula> you can remove those lines
[19:21] <godtrunks1> this is in file
[19:21] <dr_willis> godtrunks1,  we have no idea why you added those lines.. or what you are doing. with them.
[19:22] <dr_willis> godtrunks1,  those lines were added by the command you showed earlier.
[19:22] <godtrunks1> this r in the blacklist
[19:22] <godtrunks1> so i delete?
[19:22] <godtrunks1> those?
[19:22] <pyghassen> ok if I want to connect to my desktop through that switch what should I do exactly?
[19:22] <dr_willis> godtrunks1,  we have no idea why you added them.. or why you want to delete them... if you want them gone, then delete them and save the file.
[19:22] <acicula> mck182: does it work with the drivers installed via the additional drivers tool?
[19:23] <edbian> pyghassen: What does the switch connect to?
[19:23] <pyghassen> my labtop
[19:23] <godtrunks1> i try to install my usb wireless adaptor from a tutorial
[19:23] <pyghassen> laptop
[19:23] <edbian> pyghassen: On the other side.
[19:23] <pyghassen> desktop
[19:24] <mck182> acicula: I think so...but I needed to switch to the beta drivers as the stable one from that tool currently does not work with latest kwin (trunk)
[19:24] <mck182> and now it's gone
[19:24] <edbian> pyghassen: You have to tell the desktop to share the internet connection first
[19:24] <edbian> pyghassen: What OS is the desktop?
[19:24] <pyghassen> both ubuntu
[19:24] <edbian> pyghassen: How does the desktop get online?
[19:24] <Guest53606> how to start gnome network manejar in lxde ?
[19:25] <edbian> pyghassen: Use this:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[19:25] <acicula> mck182: not using the trunk from kwin is not an option?
[19:25] <gsunder> hi all... no https site is loading in ubuntu natty narwhal... i tried in both Chrome and Firefox...
[19:25] <mck182> acicula: not really...I'm a kde dev :)
[19:25] <dork> dr_willis: how can i use an older kernel? grub.cfg isn't editable, my sound just stopped working out of nowhere
[19:25] <gsunder> I am in a hurry... so any help would be great...
[19:26] <dr_willis> dork,  you dont edit grub.cfg you edit the grub2 config files in /etc/ like the grub2 docs show..
[19:26] <Guest53606> check proxy ?
[19:26] <pyghassen> edian I got the laptop who connects to the internet through 3G, I want it work on my desktop through LAN, that's why I bought the switch
[19:26] <dr_willis> dork,  theres some setting to select what kernel to use by default. or a setting to rember the last selected entry
[19:26] <dr_willis> !grub2
[19:26] <edbian> pyghassen: Ahh, the use that guide on the laptop.
[19:26] <acicula> mck182: heh yeah i can see how that is an issue
[19:26] <edbian> then*
[19:26] <io> pyghassen: set the laptop to share it's Internet, see the link already given
[19:27] <RadarG> what would be a better dns server to run at home to cache DNS. Bind 9 or windows server 2003?
[19:27] <acicula> mck182: ehm does the backlight entry show in /proc ?
[19:27] <edbian> RadarG: What do you think we'll say?  This is an Ubuntu room.
[19:27] <centHOGG> RadarG: personal experience serv2003
[19:27] <edbian> RadarG: windows server 2003 in my opinion is overkill for a DNS server
[19:27] <centHOGG> idk
[19:27] <pyghassen> but the switch is not responding on <IP_ADDRESS>!
[19:27] <Rivenge> Semi-ubuntu question: I'm writing a bash script that will be run in cron. I'm running the script manually for testing, and when it connects to ftp it's dropping back to the terminal instead of logging in and continuing. I tried adding prompt off,which I found on some tutorials, but it did not change anything. What am I doing wrong, or where would be a better place to ask?
[19:28] <edbian> pyghassen: It's not going to.  The guide doesn't say it would!
[19:28] <mck182> acicula: no...and there's also no kernel module controling the backlight
[19:28] <io> Rivenge: #bash
[19:28] <Rivenge> io thanks
[19:28] <pyghassen> so I just connect the ethernet cables and it'll work?
[19:28] <edbian> pyghassen: Are you kidding me?
[19:28] <mck182> acicula: I assume that the mbp_nvidia_bl should do the trick, but it can't be loaded and the log does not contain any error info
[19:29] <pyghassen> :)
[19:29] <edbian> pyghassen: I told you multiple times to read this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[19:29] <pyghassen> ok I'll try it and i'll be back :)
[19:30] <acicula> mck182: well explains why its not working i guess, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight at the top, acpi_backlight=vendor you could try
[19:30] <dork> dr_willis: the answer was 'hold down the shift key' but there are no other kernels available
[19:31] <dork> i can't believe my sound just stopped working for no reason.
[19:31] <acicula> mck182: but beyond that honestly idk. might be wort trying the beta on a test version of #ubuntu+1 in the hope that the kernel/x version is more agreable with the drivers?
[19:31] <dr_willis> dork,  that is the answer to 'how to show the grub menu when its hidden'
[19:32] <dork> so now i can't install an older kernel, apt-cache search kernel only shows the one that's being used
[19:32] <mck182> acicula: I guess I'll try some more recent X if that link won't do any good...checking now
[19:33] <acicula> dork: you can install older kernels by referencing the package directly
[19:33] <RadarG> edbian,  true but if its running in a vm maybe not
[19:33] <dork> acicula: the only one available is the current build in the repositories
[19:33] <edbian> RadarG: I'm afraid i don't know what you're talking about.
[19:33] <RadarG> well I did expect some bias
[19:34] <edbian> RadarG: ;)
[19:34] <acicula> dork: hmm i just tried it, seems thats the case indeed
[19:34] <dr_willis> dork,  why do you think an older kernel would work when aparently an older kernel has never been installed...
[19:35] <edbian> RadarG: If the windows 2003 server is running in a VM?  Then that's even more reason to not used the massive windows 2003 just to run a DNS server
[19:35] <edbian> RadarG: bind9 runs in the background on my desktop machine acting as a DNS cache and I don't even notice it.
[19:35] <dork> dr_willis: i don't know, because my sound was fine and i can't remember the last time i did an upgrade, but my sound stopped working completely randomly so i'm troubleshooting it the best i can?
[19:35] <edbian> RadarG: A DNS server does not need the entire windows OS to do what it does
[19:36] <dr_willis> dork,  as a test. try adding a new user. see if sound works for them., iother then that.. no idea on how to trouble shoot sound. I rarely have sound issues.
[19:36] <dork> dr_willis: if you have more suggestions as to why my sound stopped working i'd be willing to hear it
[19:36] <_kad> hey!! need help how to force the left menu in the unity to hide !! is there any keyboard shortcut for this? sometimes if i open program it kept open and annoy me !! Thanks
[19:36] <dr_willis> dork,  theres also the various sound wiki/guides that may give some clues.. you dont hafve it just muted do you? cables are correct? dont have somthing plugged into the headphone jack?
[19:36] <dr_willis> dork,  cat dident eat the speaker cables?
[19:36] <dork> dr_willis: never had sound issues until natty, and i don't get sound at the splash screen so i don't know what adding a new user is going to do since sound doesn't even work at that point
[19:36] <Jakman85> _kad, good question, i would like to know this as well
[19:37] <dork> it's a laptop and the sound literally stopped while watching a video.
[19:37] <dr_willis> dork,  so you Had sound in natty.. then it stopped?
[19:37] <kaka> hi. I want to build unity-2d from source but without having utouch as dependency. I downloaded it with bzr 'branch lp:unity-2d' how can I configure that I don't need utouch? http://pastebin.com/wTLYBHzp
[19:37] <dork> yes.
[19:37] <dr_willis> interesting..
[19:37] <dork> reinstalled alsa and pulse
[19:37] <dork> dr_willis: s/interesting/fucking annoying/g
[19:37] <edbian> dork: It stopped while watching a video?  You weren't upgrading any packages or anything?
[19:37] <dr_willis> reinstalling to fix things is 'windows' mentality.
[19:37] <dork> edbian: no
[19:38] <_kad> Jakman85, i hate it when it kept show that menu
[19:38] <bazhang> dork, no cursing please
[19:38] <dork> edbian: literally watching a video and it just stopped.
[19:38] <dr_willis> I do think there were some alsa updates the other day waswent there? I thought i saw some.
[19:38] <centHOGG> oh please
[19:38] <xuser1> hi
[19:38] <edbian> dork: I think the speakers died.  Either you blew them or the power went out, or they just died.
[19:38] <Jakman85> kaka, ./configure --help will list all available options
[19:38] <Jakman85> at least, it should
[19:38] <edbian> dork: Can you get them to work on any other device?
[19:38] <dr_willis> dork,  test with a live cd perhaps. verify that they work on a live cd.
[19:38] <dork> it's a laptop
[19:38] <edbian> dork: liveCD
[19:39] <b0nghitter> does ubuntu 11.04 have any hdd defrag app installed by default?
[19:39] <centHOGG> heh
[19:39] <dr_willis> b0nghitter,  you rarely need to defrag linux filesystems.
[19:39] <dr_willis> !defrag
[19:39] <kaka> Jakman85: well thanks, but the problem is, that there is no ./configure ... You see the output of cmake ...
[19:39] <b0nghitter> dr_willis: awesome, thanks
[19:39] <dork> it's a brand new laptop
[19:40] <dr_willis> dork,  ive had brand new laptops be totally dead when ive opend the boxs :)
[19:40] <Jakman85> kaka, sorry about that... ill see if i can check it out
[19:40] <dr_willis> Gotta love warrenties..
[19:40] <xuser1> i cant start the graphic interface after remove nvidia driver can you help me ?
[19:40] <dork> dr_willis: this worked fine out of the box. not the same.
[19:40] <dork> sound componants just don't randomly die typically
[19:40] <dr_willis> dork,  the fact its 'brand new' dosent mean anything really.. except that its.. not old. :)
[19:40] <xuser1> im on live cd now
[19:40] <xuser1> any ideas
[19:40] <scummos> hi
[19:40] <dork> dr_willis: the fact is 'sound cards don't just randomly die when watching videos'
[19:40] <dr_willis> dork,  prove they work in a live cd situation.
[19:41] <kaka> Jakman85: Thanks that would be nice, here you get the source 'bzr branch lp:unity-2d'
[19:41] <acicula> i had two doas consecutively before i finnaly got my brand new working laptop, hehe
[19:41] <musulmano> 1487
[19:41] <scummos> i have a nvidia gt 430 graphics card an tried installing the non-free driver from nvidia, but it doesn't work
[19:41] <dr_willis> dork,  pcs can die at any time.. they are complex little beasties.
[19:41] <yeats> !nvidia | xuser1
[19:41] <edbian> dork: sound software doesn't just 'shut off' either
[19:41] <scummos> "doesn't work" as in, only black screen after reboot as soon as X starts
[19:41] <edbian> dork: I really think they did die. physically and it had nothing to do with the OS.
[19:41] <edbian> dork: You think audio equipment never dies?
[19:42] <dr_willis> Id be curious if the headphone jacks, and what the mixer settings look like also.
[19:42] <dork> edbian: it's intel HD integrated sound, if the sound just died there would be residual effects that would suggest it
[19:42] <dork> this is not failed hardware.
[19:42] <dr_willis> debate it all you want.. do tests and trouble shoot i guess.
[19:42] <edbian> dork: alright.  Here is this rigorous guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[19:42] <edbian> dork: If it's a software issue that guide is very good to solve it.
[19:42] <dork> dr_willis: i will boot a live cd, this isn't my first computer either so if the livecd doesn't produce sound i will literally quit my job and become a bar tender.
[19:43] <edbian> dork: hahahaha
[19:43] <scummos> any ideas?
[19:43] <dr_willis> dork,  doesnt matter to us one way or another.
[19:43] <dr_willis> ive had weirder things happen to pcs......
[19:43] <dork> dr_willis: that is blatantly obvious.
[19:44] <edbian> dork: I disagree this is a strange and confusion issue :)
[19:44] <dr_willis> Prove hardware is good.. is a rather basic test..
[19:44] <shomon> hi, I've got ubuntu 10.04 from an old boot cd, and it boots for a split second, showing a light blue screen, but then it just goes black and shows a dead mouse pointer that you can't move. No function keys work to get you to a terminal or reboot and the whole thing looks frozen. Any idea what I could change from a boot cd to fix it?
[19:44] <shomon> I'm thinking X issues...
[19:44] <shomon> I had turned on commercial drivers just before this happened
[19:45] <dr_willis> I spent a week recovering data from a dead hd.. which then came back to life as soon as i was done.... i got a laptop that the web cam dosent work.. unless i hit it upside the display...  ive had pcs not boot IF they are sitting uprigth. but work if they are laying on their side...
[19:45] <xuser1> can you help me i want start ubuntu using gdm not nvidia driver
[19:45] <dr_willis> xuser1,  what driver do you want to use?
[19:45] <edbian> dr_willis: are you from the twilight zone?
[19:46] <dr_willis> edbian,  dont forget the 'mouse chewed on the cables' i had to fix for a friend.. :)
[19:46] <xuser1> nvidia 260
[19:46] <shomon> could be that the physical contacts for the electronics on those pcs are loose or broken dr_willis
[19:46] <Jakman85> kaka, have you tried the interactive option of cmake?
[19:46] <dr_willis> shomon,  yep. :)  loose wires. cut wire,. and in one case a heatsink touching the metal case..
[19:46] <dr_willis> a little black tape fixed that one.
[19:46] <shomon> ah very safe
[19:46] <Jakman85> cmake -i
[19:46] <shomon> :)
[19:47] <dork> i haven't done level 1 break fix since i was in high school but by those events dr_willis, you should probably become a bar tender as well.
[19:47] <xuser1> can i edit the xorg.conf from live cd?
[19:47] <shomon> how can I reset X11's configuration and reinstall the base ubuntu drivers?
[19:47] <dr_willis> I work on Multi Million Doller machines at work.. trouble shooting them :)
[19:47] <dr_willis> xuser1,  yes you can. but normally X auto configures and the xorg.conf is rather empty
[19:47] <dork> i'm all out of medals, i run a national ISP
[19:48] <dr_willis> xuser1,  you coukld boot  to text mode and edit them that way also.
[19:48] <kaka> Jakman85: thanks a lot, that's what I needed, now I can port unity-2d to other distributions
[19:48] <dr_willis> !text | xuser1
[19:48] <Jakman85> kaka, glad it works for you :-)
[19:49] <dr_willis> xuser1,  from text mode you can chagne things then try 'startx' to see if the change worked or not. You may want to install ssh, and have a ssh login friom a differnt pc in case you need to restart the X server
[19:49] <shomon> actually, how do I interrupt grub and go to a root prompt?
[19:49] <xuser1> i can start on text mode but i cant start the graphic interface withowt nvidia driver
[19:50] <xuser1> i tryed install nvidia from text mode nut not work
[19:50] <dr_willis> You can install the nvidia driver via text mode.. 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' i belive
[19:50] <dr_willis> or does 'sudo jockey-text' work? i forget.
[19:50] <dr_willis> i did it that way once.. ages ago
[19:50] <Jakman85> xuser1, are you downloaded the latest and greatest from nvidia, or are you using the one provided from Ubunutu?
[19:51] <xuser1> yes i downloaded the last driver from nvidia but i reinstalled it
[19:51] <xuser1> and now teh gui interface not start
[19:51] <Jakman85> what card is it?
[19:52] <xuser1> any ideas ?
[19:53] <dork> works with external speakers
[19:53] <Jakman85> xuser1, what card is it?
[19:53] <xuser1> nvidia  geforce6100 nforce405
