[08:01] <dr_willis> seen
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> StepNjump: I dont use that encryptfs, too many headaches
[08:01] <famgod> how can I open tabs with xterm? or do I have to install a different terminal program
[08:01] <dr_willis> then see if its mounted somewhere alrleady via the mount command.
[08:02] <dr_willis> famgod:  the classic xterm dosent do tabs
[08:02] <reisio> famgod: different program, or use screen
[08:02] <reisio> famgod: ideally both of those
[08:02] <StepNjump> When I tried to recover, I realized that all my account was encrypted... so I said the heck with it so I booted it right back up and went checking the trash again. Everything was still there! Even with the drop carrier from 2 days ago
[08:02] <IdleWarship> It's one of these /dev/sda directories, I suppose.
[08:02] <StepNjump> so ext4 is going up in my esteem
[08:02] <reisio> StepNjump: oh, heh
[08:02] <famgod> resisio can you recommend another program?
[08:02] <laci_> ActionParsnip: not yet. i'll try it. thanks
[08:02] <dr_willis> I thouhg the url from the !mount factoid detailed that stuff.
[08:02] <reisio> IdleWarship: how many are mounted to /media/ ?
[08:03] <reisio> IdleWarship: ls them and see if you recognize the files
[08:03] <hiexpo> hola
[08:03] <reisio> famgod: you want graphical tabs?
[08:03] <reisio> hiexpo: hi
[08:03] <dr_willis> famgod:  theres dozens of terminal emulator apps.. terminator, gnome-terminal, xfterm, rxvt.. depends on your needs
[08:03] <StepNjump> it was a kubuntu 10.04 distro. Sorry didn't mean to sell the across-the-street guy's stuff but... it worked!
[08:03] <reisio> famgod: if you're using Unity/GNOME, just use gnome-terminal
[08:03] <IdleWarship> reisio: There's SOMETHING mounted in /media, but it's encrypted.
[08:03] <StepNjump> ALL the 22 GB's worth!
[08:03] <reisio> IdleWarship: and this usb drive isn't encrypted AFAYK?
[08:04] <IB`> ops
[08:04] <IdleWarship> reisio: It's not.
[08:04] <reisio> colonel ops
[08:04] <reisio> IdleWarship: okay, do you know what FS it is?
[08:04] <sage79> i want to use ubuntu classic in 11.10. how can i do it?
[08:04] <StepNjump> It really wasn't all that much data, it was mostly many backups and a little bit of files! lol
[08:04] <IdleWarship> reisio: I don't know what 'FS' is.
[08:04] <StepNjump> of archives I mean
[08:04] <IB`> i just accidentally the group 'admin' ...how to put it back?
[08:04] <reisio> sage79: install gnome-shell and gnome-tweak-tool, and possibly gnome-panel
[08:04] <auronandace> !notunity
[08:04] <reisio> IdleWarship: filesystem :)
[08:04] <IB`> plz!
[08:04] <StepNjump> Flight simulator
[08:04] <hiexpo> !10.04
[08:04] <dr_willis> sage79:   gnome-shell has a fall back mode. but its not identical to the old gnome.
[08:04] <StepNjump> Like in FSX
[08:05] <reisio> IdleWarship: have you run sudo fdisk -l yet ?
[08:05] <reisio> IdleWarship: you should be able to match the device to the capacity
[08:05] <reisio> IdleWarship: also it should be the last listed if it's the last device you connected
[08:05] <StepNjump> Ok guys, thanks again for all your help. Time for bed. Once again, I'll be too tired for church! grrrrr
[08:05] <StepNjump> night all
[08:05] <IB`> !!! i just accidentally the group 'admin' ...how to put it back? (thanks FSM i'm still logged in as root in another shell)
[08:05] <IdleWarship> reisio: Last device is listed as Linux Swap.
[08:06] <IdleWarship>  / Solaris
[08:06] <reisio> IdleWarship: for sda?
[08:06] <reisio> IdleWarship: there's no sdb or higher?
[08:06] <minthy_fresh> famgod: You could try terminator, it can split into multiple terminals and supports tabs. It's really easy to use too.
[08:06] <IdleWarship> reisio: All sda from fdisk -l
[08:06] <pvh_sa> anyone know how to find out what command line is being run by an app? my synaptic doesn't work when i try and launch it from the dashboard so i want to debug it.
[08:06] <reisio> IdleWarship: okay then it isn't recognized
[08:06] <IdleWarship> reisio: Ah, I lie.  sdb1.
[08:06] <reisio> IdleWarship: ...
[08:07] <reisio> IdleWarship: okay, does 'mount | grep sdb' list anything?
[08:07] <Starminn> I have a DVD-RW, however for whatever reason I cannot seem to "RW" to it. :D Any tips? I don't have any valuable information on it or anything so if formatting will work, then I'm fine with that
[08:07] <arghx> Starminn: with what programs did you try to burn?
[08:07] <IdleWarship> reisio: Nop.e
[08:07] <reisio> IdleWarship: okay
[08:08] <reisio> IdleWarship: what happens when you try to run this?: sudo mkdir -p /mnt/wtf && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/wtf
[08:08] <minthy_fresh> pvh_sa: You can run it from terminal and then look at the output in the terminal. It will give you lots of extra, unnessesary data too though
[08:08] <xauth> IB`: groupadd, addgroup. see the manual.
[08:08] <pvh_sa> minthy_fresh, works fine from a terminal, but i'm not sure if i am using the same commandline
[08:08] <xauth> IB`: make sure to add yourself back to the admin group.
[08:08] <viorel> viorel
[08:08] <IB`> xauth: what is the right gid?
[08:09] <xauth> IB`: Hmm. Not sure it matters. Lemme check what it's here.
[08:09] <IdleWarship> reisio: A ton of recognizeable directories appear in /mnt/wtf
[08:10] <xauth> IB`: Ok, I don't think it matters really, over here it's 120. Hang on...
[08:10] <reisio> IdleWarship: done :)
[08:10] <IdleWarship> reisio: AKA you win. Marvelous.  Now, if I copy directories into that /mnt/wtf, and unmount it, will those files be safely on my external hd?
[08:10] <reisio> IdleWarship: almost certainly
[08:10] <Starminn> arghx, Ah sorry, didn't see you. And I don't really remember it was so long ago. It was with whatever Nautilus uses by default. (I "drag-n-dropped")
[08:10] <IdleWarship> reisio: This is me desperately preserving my vitals before re-installing ubuntu out of frustration./
[08:10] <reisio> IdleWarship: awe
[08:10] <mang0> Not sure if this is on topic or not....I want to be able to minimize thunderbird to the system tray; next to the clock and wifi status etc. Is there a particular way to do this or will the addon minimize to tray for thunderbird do it?
[08:11] <minthy_fresh> pvh_sa: maybe I misunderstood. What do you mean by "what command line?"
[08:11] <reisio> IdleWarship: what're you backing up, just /home/ and dpkg -l ?
[08:11] <Rhonda> What is the default application for dvd copy/creation?
[08:11] <arghx> Starminn: if you want to do "packet-writing" to your RW media, you need to google for that "linux CD packet writing", but afaik it's not really supported under linux in any way
[08:11] <IdleWarship> reisio: Yup.
[08:11] <reisio> mang0: as long as the addon is Linux compatible, I imagine it'd work
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> Rhonda: which desktop?
[08:11] <pvh_sa> minthy_fresh, what is actually being run when i click on the synaptic icon in the dash. if i knew, i could run the same thing in a terminal and see how / why it is failing
[08:11] <Rhonda> ActionParsnip: gnome
[08:11] <reisio> mang0: all that stuff is freedesktop standardized AFAIK
[08:11] <Rhonda> ActionParsnip: Or rather, not default but recommended. Ö=
[08:12] <mang0> reisio: Okay, thanks.
[08:12] <Hell_Hammer> hi
[08:12] <Starminn> arghx, Hmm? No, I just want to delete everything on the disc and then write some files I want to keep to it so I can do a nice, fresh install of 11.10
[08:12] <reisio> Hell_Hammer: hi
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> Rhonda: brasero is default, there is also gnomebaker and my personal favourite, xfburn. If you don't mind the Qt bloat you can even install K3b
[08:12] <Koshka> Anyone around now who would know a way to downgrade fglrx in 11.10 without re-installing whole system?
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> Rhonda: there is no recommended
[08:12] <Rhonda> I'm givin giving brasero a try but it doesn't seem to find the dvd …
[08:12] <dimitri> scarleo, r u on ? please help me
[08:12] <Starminn> arghx, If that means reformatting I'm okay with that if that's easier because I'm wiping it anyway
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> Rhonda: they are all equal
[08:12] <minthy_fresh> pvh_sa: Ah, I see
[08:12] <Hell_Hammer> how can i make a launcher in ubuntu 11.10 (gnome) ??
[08:13] <sage79> can i enable compiz in ubuntu classic? there isn't ccsm
[08:13] <Rhonda> ActionParsnip: What's your opinion on k9copy? I used it in the past.
[08:13] <pvh_sa> minthy_fresh, ah i found it - synaptic.desktop. its running pkexec, not gksu.... i think the problem must be with my keyring
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> Rhonda: not used it Its KDE based so you will pull in a lot of Qt libs as deps
[08:14] <minthy_fresh> pvh_sa: :) great!
[08:14] <Rhonda> I don't mind for lib dependencies if the tool works well. :)
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> Rhonda: then go for it
[08:14] <arghx> Starminn: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-format-cdrw-dvdrw/   ubuntu uses wodim normally
[08:14] <xauth> IB`: Right, I have no programs that are owned by group admin, so it probably does not matter.
[08:14] <xauth> IB`: Pick 120 (mine) if it's free, otherwise just make sure it's a system group.
[08:15] <IB`> xauth: ok i'll try
[08:17] <reisio> Koshka: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI?action=show&redirect=RestrictedDrivers%2FATI ?
[08:17] <sattu94> what is the package name for plain KDE, not kubuntu-desktop.
[08:18] <arghx> !info kde-standard
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> sattu94: plasma-desktop   will give a fairly basic KDE
[08:19] <arghx> sattu94: this
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> !info plasma-desktop
[08:19] <eNepper> Hi
[08:19] <reisio> hi
[08:20] <nocturnal_> how can i create a new basic user in the cli
[08:20] <arghx> nocturnal_: man adduser
[08:21] <IdleWarship> Is there a way to 'page up'through console output?
[08:21] <reisio> IdleWarship: SHIFT+PGUP
[08:22] <e33> hi
[08:22] <IdleWarship> reisio: That doesn't seem to work while cp is running.
[08:22] <reisio> hi
[08:22] <reisio> IdleWarship: it should
[08:23] <reisio> IdleWarship: are you just in console?
[08:23] <nocturnal_> arghx: thanks. you have been a big help.
[08:23] <IdleWarship> reisio: Yes. :(
[08:23] <e33> anyone can give an advise?
[08:23] <SAKKED> HI GUYS! i hate new ubuntu theme
[08:23] <SAKKED> can  i get rid of it?
[08:23] <enchilado> IdleWarship: what do you mean by "page up through console output?" exactly?
[08:23] <enchilado> SAKKED: which new theme?
[08:23] <reisio> IdleWarship: are you in screen? (CTRL+a, then CTRL+")
[08:24] <SAKKED> that unity thing
[08:24] <reisio> IdleWarship: erm, CTRL+a, then SHIFT+' (")
[08:24] <enchilado> SAKKED: that's not a theme
[08:24] <SAKKED> i want that 10.10 look =)
[08:24] <enchilado> more like a desktop environment
[08:24] <SAKKED> http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/08/return-to-ubuntu-classic-desktop-in-ubuntu-11-10/
[08:24] <SAKKED> does that work?
[08:24] <reisio> e33: I only give advice
[08:24] <aliandro> ubuntu ftw
[08:24] <xauth> IdleWarship: perhaps it scrolls back down immediately  because of the running cp?
[08:24] <pvh_sa> minthy_fresh, turns out the problem was an interaction between the fingerprint auth support i had install and policykit. yay :P
[08:25] <eNepper> I have a box with xbmc-live on which i want to connect a Apple bluetooth keyboard to, it also works fine in the console with danish characters and all. But when I'm in xbmc the danish characters wont work. The strange part is that if I connect my wireless logitech keyboard (which is also a danish keyboard) the characters works also in xbmc, and the wierd part is that the apple keyboards danish
[08:25] <eNepper> characters also starts working in xbmc. But if I unplug the logitech keyboard and reboot the apple keyboards characters stops working agin. I think it's the keyboard layout that changes some how. But I'm not sure if it because it a bluetooth keyboard or what.
[08:25] <aliandro> wow long storyś
[08:25] <IdleWarship> reisio: I'm not sure what you mean. I'm hanging out in a handful of tty... Ubuntu doesn't boot, I hit "ALT+Right" and I can certainly type ""....
[08:26] <IdleWarship> xauth: It's not printing anything, currently.
[08:26] <glebihan_> SAKKED, yes
[08:26] <_trine> SAKKED, notice there is no system menu item,, I tried it
[08:26] <IdleWarship> enchilado: Scroll up?
[08:26] <sattu94> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[08:26] <chadi> installation of oneiric is stuck on downloading packages. is it safe to stop it and restart it?
[08:26] <celso_celso> hello all! people, someone knows how to connect on internet by a 3g dongle on ubuntu 11.10? because i can't connect. it tries to connect but can't.
[08:26] <reisio> IdleWarship: it's SHIFT+PGUP, or if you're in screen, CTRL+a, ESC, arrows/hjkl
[08:26] <aliandro> whats a dongle
[08:26] <reisio> a usb stick
[08:26] <celso_celso> t3g pen
[08:27] <celso_celso> *3g pen
[08:27] <enchilado> reisio: SHIFT+PGUP to scroll up through output?
[08:27] <reisio> enchilado: yup
[08:27] <enchilado> am I missing something? I just use PGUP...
[08:27] <aliandro> i would leave usb alone untill we got the usb 3
[08:27] <e33> thx reisio, i cannot activate the bluetooth, i tried on on the forum, but didnt works for me, i dont know if here is possible to ask such questions
[08:27] <sattu94> arghx: thanks!
[08:27] <enchilado> in screen
[08:27] <aliandro> usb 2 is for middleages
[08:27] <eNepper> xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/H0Tyw5Xy and output of locale: http://pastebin.com/kSa9ZPB4
[08:27] <aliandro> true story
[08:28] <reisio> enchilado: maybe your shift key is stuck :p
[08:28] <reisio> e33: did you use one of the GUI wizards?
[08:28] <celso_celso> it detects the usb stick (huawei e220), tries to connect but don't do.
[08:28] <zzecool> Guys this is the problem that i have  if anyone have any clue please pm me Thank you  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZhZ3cUlH4I
[08:28] <falstaff> I am not that impressed with the new Gnome and I hate Unity!
[08:28] <enchilado> reisio: what sort of output are we talking about? o_O
[08:28] <reisio> enchilado: has no bearing on PGUP vs SHIFT+PGUP
[08:29] <enchilado> zzecool: probably best to summarise the problem here too
[08:29] <azi_> i have updated to ubuntu 11.10 and now I cannot login into the system. before the update i had autologin set now it prompts me for my password and username and after a few seconds hangs and restarts the login screen
[08:29] <auronandace> falstaff: use a different desktop environment then (xfce, kde)
[08:29] <azi_> what's going on?
[08:29] <aliandro> whats the dif between xterminal and a regueler one
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> !notunity | falstaff
[08:29] <aliandro> if there is any dif
[08:30] <enchilado> reisio: I do, eg, "man man" and then can scroll through the output with PGDN and PGUP... am I misunderstanding what is meant by "page up through output"?
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> aliandro: oneis lighter, it still uses bash so will act the same
[08:30] <reisio> aliandro: an "X term(inal)" runs on top of X, the window server
[08:30] <smw> When I use gnome-shell and start chrome in workspace 1, then go to workspace 2, then select chrome, why does it switch to workspace 1?
[08:30] <smw> How can I fix that?
[08:30] <IdleWarship> enchilado: I get a bunch of error messages coming up during a copy operation.
[08:30] <reisio> enchilado: for example if you do not run man first...
[08:30] <falstaff> Thank you ActionParsnip
[08:30] <aliandro> ok
[08:30] <e33> reisio, with the blueman assistance, it gave me no adapters found, i tried to look on the forum but cannot follow cause\ when i hciconfig -a, it dont give anything
[08:31] <reisio> IdleWarship: if they're constantly flowing out, PGUP won't be possible until they stop
[08:31] <zzecool> enchilado, i cant type the same key faster than 1 click per second
[08:31] <reisio> e33: did you put your device/s into discovery mode?
[08:31] <IdleWarship> reisio: It's not constant.  Periodic.
[08:31] <reisio> IdleWarship: you could stop it and retry when you're in screen
[08:31] <enchilado> zzecool: uh, okay?
[08:31] <zzecool> its like i cant delete 3 letters by typing 3 times fast backspace it only catch one
[08:31] <IdleWarship> reisio: What do you mean 'in screen?'
[08:31] <zzecool> enchilado, ?
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> zzecool: does it happen with all keyboard?
[08:32] <reisio> IdleWarship: there's an application 'screen' that makes life easier
[08:32] <zzecool> its laptop
[08:32] <enchilado> zzecool: I probably can't help you, I was just saying that most people probably won't go to watch a Youtube video to see if they can help
[08:32] <zzecool> its was ok till oneiric beta
[08:32] <zzecool> final is the one with the problem
[08:32] <reisio> IdleWarship: if you want to be sure of having no errors, though, you could just tar up your data before copying it over
[08:32] <IdleWarship> reisio: I'll check it out.
[08:32] <Jano> hoi
[08:32] <cousin_luigi> hello
[08:32] <dimitri> scarleo, are you ready ?
[08:32] <IdleWarship> reisio: Couldawouldashoulda.
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> zzecool: got a USB keyboard. The fact it is a laptop makes nodifference
[08:32] <e33> reisio, how can i do that
[08:32] <IdleWarship> reisio: Still can, actually.
[08:32] <reisio> IdleWarship: yeah you might want to do that anyways :p
[08:33] <Jano> hello
[08:33] <reisio> e33: what's the device?
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> zzecool: you can use USB keyboards with laptops
[08:33] <reisio> Jano: hiyo
[08:33] <zzecool> ActionParsnip, what gonna be the diference?
[08:33] <cousin_luigi> How can I change the picture appearing during the boot?  Does anyone have an explanation? http://imgur.com/FgkpG <- there it is
[08:33] <zzecool> even if the usb keyboard works as it should we didnt find a solution
[08:34] <devish> i want to execute a command every time i login from where can i do this ? which file
[08:34] <Jano> hello
[08:34] <e33> reisio: i dont know, how can i find what is the device
[08:34] <devish> it shoud be for all users
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> zzecool: its a different hardware, maybe its the driver for the inbuilt keyboard, maybe the keyboard is faulty
[08:34] <devish> any idea
[08:34] <enchilado> reisio: ah, I understand what you mean about the scrolling now
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> zzecool: its called 'isolating the issue'
[08:34] <enchilado> I guess I've never needed to do that o_O
[08:34] <ashka> 11.10, i'm never updating again
[08:34] <cousin_luigi> ashka: whaddyamean?
[08:35] <zzecool> keyboard is ok
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> zzecool: you haven't tested it yet'
[08:35] <zzecool> it works nice in windows and nice in lightdm boot scren
[08:35] <zzecool> i have...
[08:35] <reisio> enchilado: you GUI person you :p
[08:35] <IdleWarship> reisio: I hit 'tar user/' and was hit with the most terrifying barrage of unidentifiable, seizure inducing output.
[08:35] <zzecool> ok ms keyboard on same problem
[08:35] <enchilado> reisio: no, I use a terminal as often as possible :P
[08:36] <reisio> lies :P
[08:36] <enchilado> It's true!
[08:36] <reisio> IdleWarship: ha
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> zzecool: ok then now we know where the issue lies
[08:36] <SetiAmon> Can someone explain to me what Webupd8 is?
[08:36] <enchilado>  ctcp version me
[08:36] <SetiAmon> Can someone explain to me what Webupd8 is?
[08:36] <enchilado> :(
[08:36] <reisio> SetiAmon: a site
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> zzecool: is it the same as all users?
[08:36] <IdleWarship> reisio: screen is now pouring out some craziness.
[08:36] <SetiAmon> err sorry for the repeat
[08:36] <zzecool> yeap
[08:36] <arghx> SetiAmon: a website url
[08:36] <reisio> IdleWarship: CTRL+c
[08:36] <zzecool> i tried guest before
[08:36] <SetiAmon> is webupd8 a ppa i should add(in ubuntu tweak right now)
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> zzecool: ok so it's not settings. All I can suggest is report a bug
[08:37] <IdleWarship> reisio: And irssi is telling me 'Core temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 1).
[08:37] <reisio> IdleWarship: you want tar -cvf optional/path/name.tar path/to/dir/
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> SetiAmon: they have a ppa
[08:37] <cousin_luigi> SetiAmon: only if you are kinky enough
[08:37] <reisio> IdleWarship: heh
[08:37] <enchilado> reisio: I love using the command line, but I don't really know it that well :/
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> SetiAmon: webupd8 is a website
[08:37] <arghx> IdleWarship: irssi won't tell you about CPU temperatures
[08:37] <reisio> enchilado: just like women :)
[08:37] <enchilado> reisio: :O
[08:37] <nocturnal_> if i create a new user such as adduser bill will it create an account for bill but not allow him to edit the system files?
[08:37] <IdleWarship> reisio: Also, everything on that tty is now gibberish. Ostensibly permanent.
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> arghx: you could get a scrpt to talk to lmsensors ;)
[08:37] <IdleWarship> arghx: Right, it's obviously some crazy glitch.
[08:38] <arquebus> g
[08:38] <SetiAmon> yeah but what is webupd8 i mean really is this something i should isntall on 11.10?
[08:38] <cousin_luigi> Is there a plymouth theme that's like the standard one, only in black?
[08:38] <arghx> not crazy. it's your kernel giving you some emergency warnings, that's all
[08:38] <cousin_luigi> SetiAmon: webubd8 is a website collecting tweaks for ubuntu.

[08:38] <Jano> who wants to chat with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[08:38] <FloodBot1> Jano: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:38] <SetiAmon> ah ok i'll isntall it then
[08:38] <arghx> ActionParsnip: yes, but then it wouldn't just write on the screen but make it usable :P
[08:38] <kaolc2> after having Firefox open, I closed it, and now I have this stupid link stuck on my screen, it won't go away no matter what I do, can't click it, mouseover doesn't help. Does anyone have an explanation? http://imgur.com/FgkpG <- there it is
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> arghx: true
[08:39] <enchilado> Jano: see #ubuntu-offtopic for random chatting
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> kaolc2: is firefox still running?
[08:39] <arghx> ActionParsnip: well, unless it would be a very buggy script of course. it would be written in perl after all
[08:39] <Jano> who wants to chat with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[08:39] <IdleWarship> reisio: tar -cvf output/path.tar input/path/ ?
[08:39] <FloodBot1> Jano: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> arghx: of course :)
[08:39] <enchilado> ...
[08:39] <kaolc2> ActionParsnip: No, it is not
[08:39] <dimitri> retry my prblem. I have a Canon LBP5100 and with 11.04 print correctly ( I use gs_esp + CAPT ). After Upgrade to 11.10 the printer go in processing mode and .... no print. Someone help me please.
[08:39] <jimlovell777> What software is good for transcoding with 11.10? Everything I've used in the past seems broken or forgotten. Avidemux is gone, k9copy fails at some point in the process, transmageddon just crashes on startup, and so on.
[08:39] <dc5ala> kaolc2, i sometime have that too but it usually goes away once i moved the mouse over it
[08:40] <reisio> IdleWarship: yup
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> kaolc2: does:    ps -ef | grep -i fire | grep -v grep     output anything?
[08:40] <e33> i am just wondering how reisio can manager to answer to everybody :)
[08:40] <nocturnal_> how can i prevent someone from seeing the contents of files?
[08:40] <kaolc2> dc5ala: It won't go away no matter how much I mouseover or click, it's annoying
[08:40] <arghx> jimlovell777: ffmpeg or mencoder
[08:40] <kriestof> Hi, I've just upgraded my ubuntu and audio doesn't work. Alsamixer see my audio card( Intel 82801DB-ICH4). Here is my lsmod and lspci http://paste.ubuntu.com/709370/ .
[08:40] <IdleWarship> reisio: And should I wait until I'm no longer copying that directory to tar it up?
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> nocturnal_: mark them as only readable by your user
[08:41] <reisio> IdleWarship: just stop the cp, do the tar
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> kaolc2: does the command I gave output anything?
[08:41] <kaolc2> ActionParsnip: ps -ef | grep -i fire gives me only the grep command itself.
[08:41] <jimlovell777> arghx: Can you recommend a nice GUI frontend or preconfigured command line example?
[08:41] <reisio> IdleWarship: later when you're putting it all back on your system, instead of just tar -xf make it -xpf to preserve permissions
[08:41] <arghx> jimlovell777: sorry I can't
[08:41] <nocturnal_> ActionParsnip: can you recommend a cli command?
[08:42] <reisio> jimlovell777: ffmpeg is pretty intuitive
[08:42] <reisio> jimlovell777: what's your use case?
[08:42] <arghx> !permissions | nocturnal_
[08:42] <IdleWarship> reisio: I'm not sure I want to preserve permissions.  The last thing I want is to have to battle my own encryptions.
[08:42] <dc5ala> kaolc2, that's real ugly then :( starting a new firefox and provoke a tooltip makes no change?
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> nocturnal_: to do what?
[08:42] <reisio> IdleWarship: I don't think the encryption will be included
[08:42] <kaolc2> dc5ala: Nope.. It's happened before and I had to reboot, but this can't go on.. It's really, really annoying.
[08:42] <reisio> IdleWarship: you can always lose the -p if you don't think you need it, though
[08:43] <Squarism> is there some sort of "praxis" to run rsync as root?
[08:43] <reisio> IdleWarship: you very well mightn't
[08:43] <IdleWarship> reisio: throwing that tar command was the most traumatizing console experience I've ever had.
[08:43] <c2tarun> can anyone please help me in sharing folders over ubuntu. I have two laptops on one ubuntu 11.04 is installed on other 11.10 is installed, I want to share folders but I cannot see anything in network.
[08:43] <reisio> Squarism: no?
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> kaolc2: ok that's cool, press ALT+F2 and run:  unity --replace      (change unity to your WM if you don't use unity)
[08:43] <reisio> IdleWarship: heh
[08:43] <nocturnal_> ActionParsnip: i dont want people to see the contents of other directories other than home
[08:43] <IdleWarship> reisio: tty2 is still gibberish.
[08:43] <jimlovell777> reisio: I just setup a DLNA server and I'm trying to rip my dvds to it so I can watch my collection without much effort. The ripping is fine, transcoding works with k9copy if the file is under 100MB and everything else just crashes.
[08:43] <vooze> since there is this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/filezilla/+bug/858146 under gnome shell, is there other GOOD options for ftp/filemanager programs for ubuntu, insted of filezilla??
[08:43] <reisio> IdleWarship: 'reset'
[08:44] <reisio> jimlovell777: do you want 1:1 copies, or just the feature?
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> nocturnal_: they will have read access to the system files, otherwise they won't be able to run apps
[08:44] <aliandro> how can i control ubuntu using my phone
[08:44] <aliandro> lol
[08:44] <IdleWarship> reisio: Has an effect, but returns gibberish.
[08:44] <aliandro> is that possible
[08:44] <e33> reisio: how can i find what is the device
[08:44] <reisio> IdleWarship: hah
[08:44] <kaolc2> ActionParsnip: That did not help. At all. O_o
[08:44] <reisio> IdleWarship: another reason to use screen
[08:44] <dimitri> c2tarun, use ssh
[08:44] <reisio> e33: what is the physical device, a mouse?
[08:44] <IdleWarship> reisio: I WAS using screen!
[08:44] <nocturnal_> ActionParsnip: but can you keep them from reading the contents of someone else's home
[08:44] <reisio> IdleWarship: ah, then you just CTRL+a, c
[08:44] <SAKKED> any1 can help me?
[08:45] <aliandro> scrubs!
[08:45] <SAKKED> how can i get rid of that unity dock?
[08:45] <reisio> SAKKED: ...with?
[08:45] <dc5ala> kaolc2, i have no idea for a pemanent solution, sry :(
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> nocturnal_: if you chmod o-rwx /home/name
[08:45] <arghx> nocturnal_: that should be enabled by default. you can check wiht ls -ld ~
[08:45] <IdleWarship> reisio: same effect; none.  This is not important, however.
[08:45] <reisio> aliandro: depends on the phone
[08:45] <kaolc2> dc5ala: No problem, thanks for giving it a shot :)
[08:45] <cousin_luigi> SAKKED: planning to use unity?
[08:45] <SetiAmon> minitube update,its working now
[08:45] <kriestof> Hi, I've just upgraded my ubuntu and audio doesn't work. Alsamixer see my audio card( Intel 82801DB-ICH4). Here is my lsmod and lspci http://paste.ubuntu.com/709370/ .
[08:45] <c2tarun> dimitri, I guess ssh is used for remote access, I dont want to access on internet but I have a wifi router and both the laptops are connected with that router.
[08:45] <SAKKED> i dont want unity!
[08:45] <SAKKED> i want to get back to classic look
[08:46] <auronandace> !notunity | SAKKED
[08:46] <jimlovell777> reisio: At this point I'll take anything. My goal would be just the features. I don't watch extras much and if I ever change my mind, I still have the disks.
[08:46] <SAKKED> 10.10 look
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> nocturnal_: home is owned by username:username   so making the others group not have ANY access will mean only the owning user has access
[08:46] <cousin_luigi> SAKKED: use gnome-classic session then
[08:46] <zzecool> ActionParsnip, i did  a new user and th problem is not there  ;/
[08:46] <e33> reisio, i just want to send files from telephone to my pc
[08:46] <reisio> e33: okay so your device is "a phone" :p
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> zzecool: all I can recommend is report a bug
[08:46] <reisio> e33: is it android?
[08:46] <enchilado> ubottu is the best.
[08:46] <zzecool> ok th
[08:46] <kaolc2> oh dang, I wasn't using Unity in the first place.. Now I am :/ let me fix things up
[08:46] <zzecool> ty
[08:46] <dimitri> c2tarun, the same use ssh in local network
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> !thanks | enchilado
[08:47] <reisio> jimlovell777: okay, what I usually do is mplayer dvd:// -dumpstream -dumpfile foo.vob (I forget if dumpstream is necessary)
[08:47] <enchilado> :D
[08:47] <reisio> jimlovell777: that gets you the uncompressed feature
[08:47] <aliandro> anyone got a app to take money from rich people and send on x account
[08:47] <RobinJ> Ok, I need urgent help here... I've installed Ubuntu 11.10 only about 3days ago and it's a greater fiasco than Vista after 2 years of use! Nautilus is dead, icons in the upper rigth corner keep dissapearing, filezilla cant open a file from an FTP server half of the time while gedit *is* running (though no window shows up), it is running VERY slow (and my PC isn't that old), the software cneter is a downright diaster (nothing works as it's supposed to
[08:47] <RobinJ> work there), ubuntu one keeps reuploading the same 5 files every 5 minutes, and banshee takes 90% of cpu usage
[08:47] <reisio> jimlovell777: then you can ffmpeg -i foo.vob -options-of-choice output.new
[08:47] <reisio> jimlovell777: I suggest using x264 :)
[08:48] <reisio> jimlovell777: something like ffmpeg -i foo.vob -vcodec libx264 -vpre libx264-slow -crf 22 -acodec libfaac -aq 255 -ab 96k bar.mp4
[08:48] <jimlovell777> reisio:  My TV supports x264 and wmv. I prefer x264 too. the problem is the -options-of-choice part
[08:48] <reisio> jimlovell777: okay, well you _could_ use WinFF for that
[08:48] <nocturnal_> drwxr-xr-x 9
[08:48] <e33> yes
[08:48] <simonaG> hi all
[08:48] <reisio> jimlovell777: but all it does is apply a preset and pass it to ffmpeg :p
[08:49] <reisio> jimlovell777: anyways, mplayer dvd:// -dumpstream -dumpfile foo.vob, then convert that file
[08:49] <doc_tomoe> hi
[08:49] <RobinJ> oh yeah, and my laptop runs about twice as hot as it did with 11.04
[08:49] <aliandro> what is oneiric
[08:49] <reisio> aliandro: the shmancy name for version 11.10
[08:49] <SAKKED> let ssee....
[08:49] <reisio> doc_tomoe: hi
[08:49] <aliandro> ok
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> nocturnal_: sudo chmod o-r /home/name; sudo chmod o-x /home/name
[08:49] <SetiAmon> gnome3 sucks
[08:49] <jimlovell777> reisio: Ok thanks, I'll try that.
[08:49] <aliandro> i like gnomes
[08:49] <nnfx> any idea how to find trash bin in classic interface for 11.10?
[08:50] <reisio> SetiAmon: you aren't the first person to say that :)
[08:50] <cousin_luigi> nnfx: gnome-tweak-tool can enable it
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> SetiAmon: its not bad, nice and fast.
[08:50] <reisio> jimlovell777: million ways, that's my favie
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> SetiAmon: if you use it outside Ubuntu its not bad.
[08:50] <SetiAmon> ActionParsnip: compared to unity yeah but damn,gnome 2 was perfect in retrospect
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> SetiAmon: I dislike Gnome as a DE, I prefer LXDE and KDE
[08:50] <SetiAmon> hopefully with time it will change
[08:50] <kaolc2> ActionParsnip: I was using the Ubuntu Classic theme, not unity.. Which command exactly do I use to go back? My Google-fu isn't strong enough.
[08:51] <e33> reisio: Well i dont know :)
[08:51] <SetiAmon> lzde i used long ago.
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> !notunity | kaolc2
[08:51] <reisio> even if you can't easily do it right now, in time there will be utils/processes/configs for using GNOME 3 just as if it were GNOME 2
[08:51] <RobinJ> Anyone willing to help me?.. I've installed Ubuntu 11.10 only about 3days ago and it's a greater fiasco than Vista after 2 years of use! Nautilus is dead, icons in the upper rigth corner keep dissapearing, filezilla cant open a file from an FTP server half of the time while gedit *is* running (though no window shows up), it is running VERY slow (and my PC isn't that old), the software cneter is a downright diaster (nothing works as it's supposed to wo
[08:51] <RobinJ> rk there), ubuntu one keeps reuploading the same 5 files every 5 minutes, banshee takes 90% of cpu usage, and my laptop is running about twice as hot as it did with 11.04
[08:51] <reisio> e33: what model is it?
[08:51] <aliandro> lol
[08:51] <SetiAmon> rest
[08:51] <reisio> RobinJ: switch to Debian?
[08:51] <e33> reisio: Nokia E71
[08:51] <SAKKED> i have 64x processor
[08:51] <c2tarun> dimitri, but I am not able to view other system, what address should I pass to ssh?
[08:51] <c2tarun> dimitri, isn't it possible that other guy put a folder on sharing and I access that folder from my system?
[08:51] <SAKKED> should i download x64 ubuntu?
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> RobinJ: did you upgrade or clean install?
[08:52] <reisio> SAKKED: if your proc is 64-bit, yes
[08:52] <RobinJ> clean install because the upgrade would take 10 hours
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> SAKKED: if you want 64bit OS and have a 64bit CPU, sure
[08:52] <SAKKED> ok
[08:52] <doc_tomoe> Hey, can someone help me out with networkmanager ? when pluging in a mobile broadband adapter (umts stick), is there a way to automatically enable mobile broadband ? I'm not talking about automatically connect btw.
[08:52] <aliandro> why linux got spellchecker for everything
[08:52] <nocturnal_> ActionParsnip: thank you
[08:52] <SAKKED> but why x32 is recommended?
[08:52] <reisio> aliandro: because we can
[08:52] <aliandro> hehe
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> RobinJ: ok and did you keep your old configs or fresh ones?
[08:52] <reisio> SAKKED: because goobers run the website
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> SAKKED: some 3rd parties still only support 32bit
[08:52] <RobinJ> ActionParsnip: i only copied configuration folders for xchat and filezilla
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> RobinJ: freaky, should be ok. Same for all users?
[08:53] <RobinJ> all users? only one user on this laptop
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> RobinJ: make a new user to test
[08:53] <RobinJ> k xd
[08:53] <RobinJ> ActionParsnip: is a guest session allright as well?
[08:53] <cypha> ActionParsnip, how do you like 11.10?
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> RobinJ: should be fine
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> cypha: its fine, pretty much the same since Karmic here
[08:54] <cypha> it didn't blow up your video card or anything?
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> cypha: just later packages, its a little faster
[08:54] <SAKKED> i have windows x64 and i can run 32 bit programs
[08:54] <zzecool_> ActionParsnip, i found the problem it was in accessibility  settings called Bounce keys "ignore duplicate key presses"      Only god knows how this was enabled
[08:54] <cypha> really? faster?
[08:54] <cypha> i wasn't expecting that
[08:54] <SAKKED> can i run 32bit programs with x64 ubuntu?
[08:54] <reisio> SAKKED: yes
[08:54] <SAKKED> ok
[08:54] <zastaph> am looking for a guide how to setup Ubuntu for non-computer-savvy people so that it's absolutely secure to use, and they can't mess up or get adware/virus/etc.
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> cypha: sure, LXDE is slick and smooth. No idea whats happened butmy Intel GPU seems sleeker
[08:55] <IdleWarship> Damn.  Tar "wrote only 4095 of 10240 bytes," produced an error, and quit.
[08:55] <reisio> SAKKED: though you'll rarely have to, since most of the software is open source and 64-bit ready
[08:55] <RobinJ> ActionParsnip: everything seems to be working fine and fast in a guest session... -.- (even while staying logged in on this account). appart from the heating problem
[08:55] <cypha> ActionParsnip, what's lxde?
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> cypha: the web will tell you better than I can
[08:55] <RobinJ> cypha: a desktop environment like gnome, but lighter and faster
[08:55] <reisio> zastaph: adware/viruses are virtually unheard of in Linux land
[08:55] <auronandace> !lubuntu | cypha
[08:55] <cypha> ooh, it's not using gnome 3?
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> RobinJ: then its user settings, not the apps themselves
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> cypha: yes it uses GTK 3
[08:56] <RobinJ> ActionParsnip: heck... i've just noticed something
[08:56] <reisio> zastaph: just make sure it's configured to install security updates
[08:56] <cypha> then what's lxde for?
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> cypha: its a DE, Like Gnome and KDE
[08:56] <RobinJ> ActionParsnip: everything works fine in my account as well now... difference is that i aimed a fan on my laptop
[08:56] <reisio> cypha: it's a much lighter DE
[08:56] <zastaph> reisio, isn't it by default configured for that?
[08:56] <reisio> zastaph: don't remember, ask the channel
[08:56] <RobinJ> ActionParsnip: seems most of it comes down to overheating problems? :|
[08:56] <reisio> zastaph: I thought by default it asks the user if they want to update things
[08:56] <reisio> zastaph: for total newbs you'll want to have it do it automatically, without asking
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> cypha: uses a shed load fewer resources, makes systems faster, uses less power so extends battery slightly
[08:57] <reisio> zastaph: or: teach them how to authorize those updates
[08:57] <cypha> cool
[08:57] <RobinJ> ActionParsnip: DOH! I SHOULD HAVE KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT! My laptop heard me and started freaking out again...
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> RobinJ: scary, any bugs reported for your make and model system
[08:57] <cypha> ActionParsnip, i'm on openbox
[08:57] <cypha> you should give it a shot
[08:57] <cypha> super fast
[08:57] <reisio> RobinJ: quick, say nice things about it
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> cypha: its not got so much 'eye candy' but I don't care for that stuff
[08:57] <cypha> me neither
[08:57] <RobinJ> reisio: there arent many nice things to say about 11.10 to be honest
[08:57] <cypha> hence openbox :)
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> cypha: yeah openbox is the default WM in LXDE ;)
[08:58] <cypha> oooh
[08:58] <reisio> RobinJ: thought we were talking about hardware :p
[08:58] <cypha> really
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> RobinJ: works great here
[08:58] <cypha> ActionParsnip, then what's the dif btwn lxde and openbox?
[08:58] <cypha> what more is added onto lxde, i should say
[08:58] <RobinJ> never seen askubuntu.com so busy as since the release xd
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> cypha: you can run openbox on it's own. If you use LXDE you will need a WM and openbox is default
[08:58] <reisio> on its own
[08:58] <RobinJ> ActionParsnip: but what should i do then? maybe it's a running app but i dunno how to isolate the problem
[08:58] <reisio> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> RobinJ: install xfce4  log in to XFCE and it's fine.
[08:59] <SAKKED> why 64bit version is named amd64? it works on 64 bit intel?
[08:59] <stefuNz> hi. i've got a debian system. how can i install ubuntu over this without using usb sticks or dvds?
[08:59] <RobinJ> ActionParsnip: if i dint like unity i'd just have used any other distro
[08:59] <reisio> cypha: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LXDE#Components
[08:59] <RobinJ> unity is the only reason i'm still staying with ubuntu
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> robinj: you probably mean you don't like the implementation of the Gnome desktop
[08:59] <cousin_luigi> RobinJ: :O
[08:59] <sattu94> For me it's UbuntuOne..
[08:59] <reisio> stefuNz: have any expendable partition space? (swap counts)
[08:59] <RobinJ> ubuntuone? fuck it. gives me nothing but trouble
[09:00] <cousin_luigi> SAKKED: because the 64 bit extensions were initially developed by AMD while Intel was breaking its horns on IA64
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> robinj: there are more DEs than gnome. Changing distro for the sake of a CHANGABLE thing like a DE is a bit silly
[09:00] <sattu94> Works for me!=,,
[09:00] <stefuNz> reisio: yep.
[09:00] <RobinJ> ActionParsnip: ... dont know any other distro's with unity ;p
[09:00] <cypha> speaking of, how do I get putty to have clickable links and register my ctrl+pgup and alt+pgup?
[09:00] <oCean> RobinJ: control your language here, please
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> robinj: you don't have to use gnome or unity. I'm on KDE right now, no Unity, no problem
[09:00] <RobinJ> anyway, this just needs to be sorted out...
[09:00] <sattu94> I would be long gone to Debian.
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> robinj: unity is a canonical thing afaik
[09:01] <RobinJ> ActionParsnip: KDE reminds me of windows. on the area of speed as well as on the area of stability
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> robinj: just install another DE and you won't have issue. XFCE looks and smells like Gnome2
[09:01] <RobinJ> sigh
[09:01] <reisio> RobinJ: but only compared to other Linux DEs, right? :p
[09:01] <yeti> !fr
[09:01] <raven> where is the logout button in "gnome openbox"?
[09:01] <thedoctar> hey
[09:01] <e33> reisio: i just need the bluetooth icon to switch to blue color
[09:01] <thedoctar> is there anyway to run gnome2 on ubuntu 11.10
[09:01] <RobinJ> ActionParsnip: i simply want to be able to use ubuntu WITH unity WITHOUT everything crashing and freezing every 5 minutes
[09:02] <reisio> e33: did you say what model phone it is?
[09:02] <reisio> thedoctar: yes, but it's not feasible for multiple reasons
[09:02] <e33> reisio: Nokia E71
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> raven: run  gnome-panel   via ALT+F2  and you should be able to use that
[09:02] <cousin_luigi> e33: the same I have
[09:02] <reisio> thedoctar: you should install gnome-shell gnome-tweak-tool gnome-panel and reconfigure as desired
[09:02] <WTA> Hi, I am trying to compile from git, as per http://www.lonelycoder.com/redmine/projects/tvheadend/wiki/Tvheadend_debian (on ubuntu) but I am getting a lot of cwc.c undefined reference to "md5_Update" etc..
[09:02] <WTA>  What am I missing?
[09:02] <reisio> e33: Symbian
[09:02] <thedoctar> reisio: why not? and why has ubuntu stopped support for gnome 2
[09:02] <reisio> e33: you're going to have to go into the menus and find where to turn on bluetooth discovery mode
[09:03] <reisio> thedoctar: AIUI GNOME itself has stopped supporting 2
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> robinJ: not sure, report bugs are allI can recommend
[09:03] <raven> ActionParsnip, no function with alt-f2
[09:03] <auronandace> !gnome2 | thedoctar
[09:03] <RobinJ> ActionParsnip: anyway, seems no'one here is able to help me with those problems... do you happen to know how i can get the jupiter icon in my notification area (or whatever its called)?
[09:03] <reisio> thedoctar: wouldn't make much sense for distros to continue to
[09:03] <reisio> e33: can maybe ask #symbian where it is
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> raven: is there no 'run' option in the openbox menu?
[09:03] <thedoctar> reisio: i recently got a new laptop, and i'm considering installing debian or centos instead of ubuntu because i want gnome2, but i need bumblebee because i have nvidia optimus on the laptop
[09:03] <aliandro> how do all these linux distrubutions get there money
[09:03] <reisio> thedoctar: very bad idea
[09:03] <raven> ActionParsnip, i cannot find anything
[09:03] <aliandro> or is it hobby
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> robinj: what is jupiter, in the ubuntu sense?
[09:03] <asdf_> how to setting automount usb ? it doesnt work in ubuntu 11.10
[09:04] <thedoctar> reisio: what is?
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> aliandro: thats offtopic here
[09:04] <e33> reisio: thanks for your kind help
[09:04] <reisio> thedoctar: eventually there will be a proper security issue with GNOME 2 and you will be forced to update or suffer the consequences
[09:04] <aliandro> no its not
[09:04] <RobinJ> ActionParsnip: a power management thingy that helps me to get my laptop's temperature under control. problem is that the icon is gone in 11.10 but the app is still running
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> aliandro: this channel is for people having issues with their OS.
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> aliandro: nothing more
[09:04] <reisio> thedoctar: if you want a semi-sane temporary solution, install Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), it can work very much like GNOME 2
[09:04] <thedoctar> reisio: well debian and centos are going to support gnome 2 and hopefully a solution will come for the classic desktop or i will wait for the development for MATE
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> aliandro: so asking how distribution makers get mony is NOT that is it?
[09:04] <aliandro> i want to known who i can hold responsible if all fails
[09:04] <reisio> thedoctar: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce
[09:04] <Calinou> why does my brightness "resets itself" after a reboot? and why must I use "previous linux versions"'s boot option?
[09:05] <asdf_> how to setting automount usb ? it doesnt work in ubuntu 11.10
[09:05] <oCean> aliandro: drop that discussion please
[09:05] <reisio> thedoctar: MATE?
[09:05] <chadi> Guys! I just upgraded to 11.10 and most of the icons in the launcher do not show! What's wrong??
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> aliandro: if yoour OS breaks, you get both pieces
[09:05] <Calinou> the default boot option reduces the screen resolution and has no effects, like if it didn't found hardware acceleration
[09:05] <thedoctar> reisio: yeh, gnome2 fork or something
[09:05] <aliandro> lol
[09:05] <nocturnal_> how can i what is displayed when you login to a tty? i tried /etc/motd but it gets written over
[09:05] <SAKKED> is 10Gigs enough space to give for ubuntu?
[09:05] <reisio> thedoctar: where have you heard that Debian is going to support GNOME 2?
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> SAKKED: plenty
 i want to known who i can hold responsible if all fails << yourself
[09:05] <Squarism> is common to use rsync for BIG backups? If not, what is used instead?
[09:05] <aliandro> !
[09:05] <cousin_luigi> thedoctar: gnome-session-fallback is still close enough to gnome2
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> !backup | Squarism
[09:05] <Calinou> also, if I log out (not shut down, log out), I get a console screen only
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> Squarism: rsync will do fine for backups
[09:05] <asdf_> !usb
[09:05] <thedoctar> SAKKED: i installed ubuntu on 8gb, but i couldn't isntall many apps
[09:06] <reisio> thedoctar: if GNOME 2 is forked and supported as 'Mate', it will be available for Ubuntu as well
[09:06] <RobinJ> ActionParsnip: any ideas on jupiter? it said the first time it runs that it had whitelisted something for the icon to show but it doesnt seem to be working
[09:06] <sattu94> aliandro: If things fail, it's because of you! If things succeed it's because of you! :)
[09:06] <asdf_> how to setting automount usb ? it doesnt work in ubuntu 11.10
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> SAKKED: my full KDE install with all the codecs you can imagine is little over 3Gb
[09:06] <thedoctar> reisio: debian 6 uses gnome 2.3
[09:06] <aliandro> i like that moto
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> robinj: i've notheard of it
[09:06] <RobinJ> whohoo, notification area crashed again xd
[09:06] <thedoctar> cousin_luigi: does it still use compiz and stuff?
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> robinj: what is it or what does it do
[09:07] <RobinJ> lol
[09:07] <reisio> thedoctar: that is irrelevant to the statement I just made
[09:07] <cousin_luigi> thedoctar: optionally
[09:07] <reisio> thedoctar: Debian 6 uses GNOME 2 because it is significantly behind Ubuntu (for good reasons, but still)
[09:07] <cousin_luigi> thedoctar: well, it requires some degree of manual tinkering
[09:07] <RobinJ> ActionParsnip: lets you switch between power management states....
[09:07] <reisio> thedoctar: Debian will drop support for GNOME 2 if GNOME upstream has, take it to the bank
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> robinj: not seen it, sorry
[09:08] <raven> where is the logout button in "gnome openbox"?
[09:08] <nocturnal_> how can i what is displayed when you login to a tty? i tried /etc/motd but it gets written over
[09:08] <reisio> thedoctar: and if people fork it and keep it maintained as "Mate" or whatever, all distros will have it available, including Ubuntu
[09:08] <RobinJ> ActionParsnip: no common solution known yet? happens with desura as well
[09:08] <reisio> raven: openbox hasn't anything to do with GNOME
[09:08] <reisio> raven: if it's not in the right-click menu, it doesn't exist
[09:08] <aliandro> i wonder how many single girls are in this chat at this very moment
[09:08] <raven> reisio, this option is called "GNOME openbox"
[09:09] <reisio> aliandro: at least two
[09:09] <reisio> raven: what option?
[09:09] <aliandro> how you known
[09:09] <reisio> raven: in the DM?
[09:09] <reisio> raven: I'll assume that means GNOME using openbox for a wm instead of its default
[09:09] <reisio> raven: the logout button should be in exactly the same place
[09:10] <sattu94> raven: if you havent messed with the gnome-panels.
[09:10] <pcsapkota> hi, could u please tell me how to remove this pannel in the leftside on ubuntu 11.10
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> !info desura
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> !nounity | pcsapkota
[09:10] <Squarism> ActionParsnip, if the backups is millions of files.. how do you both collect info on errors and watch progress? A terminal feels a bit basic?!
[09:10] <sattu94> pcsapkota: BTW, it's called The Dash/
[09:11] <reisio> Squarism: if you don't want errors, tar first
[09:11] <reisio> or tar and pipe
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> Squarism: you can use -v option on rsync for verbose output. Man rsync will tell you stuff, there may be a logging option too
[09:12] <kanha> i fixed a bug and trying to push it to lauchpad by giving cmd as>>>>bzr push lp:~abhishekkumarsingh-cse/+junk/bash-completion/ubuntu/oneiric/bash-completion/oneiric      but its not working as my ssh is blocked what i should do to push it?
[09:13] <thedoctar> reisio: why will there eventually be a security issue with gnome2
[09:13] <reisio> thedoctar: because that's what happens to unmaintained software
[09:13] <pcsapkota> oh thank you...i am new on ubuntu so ....ok Dash
[09:13] <reisio> security issues are found and left unpatched against
[09:14] <Squarism> reisio, sounds tempting.. but having backups that are one big file feels a bit unsafe if that file breaks
[09:14] <reisio> Squarism: well then backup to the same FS
[09:14] <reisio> or you're going to get occasional errors
[09:15] <kaolc2> Is there a cli command to switch from unity to classic ubuntu theme?
[09:16] <thedoctar> reisio: do you know anything about support for nvidia optimus on ubuntu
[09:16] <sattu94> kaolc2: just log off, change session to ubuntu classic, then log back in(on Natty)
[09:16] <reisio> thedoctar: yes
[09:16] <thedoctar> reisio: what options are there
[09:16] <reisio> thedoctar: it won't be worse than this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Asus_N53#nVidia_Optimus_video_card_switching

[09:20] <thedoctar> reisi: also why did ubuntu remove the classic desktop option
[09:20] <dhruvasagar> Hi, I upgraded to 11.10, Banshee has crashed, I can't upgrade it, it complains for missing libmtp9 and that it can't install it. How do I fix it ?
[09:20] <giuseppe_> Hello to all,how can i see active process(also in background)?
[09:20] <zolli> Hello!  Question on Ubuntu 11.10....  howto administer user and grup in GUI?? i have to add specific program ? in system setting there is a very lite user administration....  i want to select users-group and privileges more advanced...
[09:20] <Evilkiss> thedoctar,. what version of ubuntu you use?
[09:21] <giuseppe_> 10.10
[09:21] <TimLoal> ActionParsnip power is set to don't suspend - when inactive and i can't find screensaver options
[09:21] <sattu94> ActionParsnip: KDE is Awesome!
[09:22] <vooze> Good alternatives to filezilla??
[09:22] <may_null> hi
[09:22] <thedoctar> Evilkiss: i got a new laptop. i'm on windows now though i want to install a linux distro, with gnome2 layout
[09:22] <reisio> vooze: ftp is insecure anyways, but you should just fix filezilla
[09:22] <TimLoal> ActionParsnip found it  - system settings - personal - screen
[09:23] <reisio> may_null: hi
[09:23] <soulnafein> Hello everyone. Last night I've upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10. After the upgrade wireless stopped working. I believe it was caused by upgrade overwriting some custom blacklisting of modules. I believe I had to add some blacklisting of drivers due to a previous problem in Ubuntu 11.04 and broadcom wireless. The stats from lshw are here: http://pastebin.com/w3CLZ3zV . Ifconfig -a doesn't show the wireless adapter. Thanks.
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> sattu94: I like it too :), no unity too
[09:23] <reisio> thedoctar: install one of the Ubuntu versions that's still supported
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> TimLoal: good lad ;)
[09:23] <thedoctar> reisio: is bumblebee the only option and does it work perfectly?
[09:23] <may_null> yesterday i was upgrading ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 when installing electrics gone and know i'm having priblems
[09:23] <vooze> reisio: i really cant, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/filezilla/+bug/858146
[09:23] <reisio> thedoctar: AFAIK yes, probably not it probably works decently/well
[09:23] <thedoctar> reisio: but didn't you say that eventually there woudl be a security flaw
[09:23] <may_null> ubuntu only starting in recivery mode
[09:23] <may_null> in console
[09:23] <Squarism> it seems im having issues with rsync because of preservation of rights makes some files wo "write" access unwritable... gah
[09:24] <reisio> thedoctar: eventually
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | soulnafein
[09:24] <sattu94> ActionParsnip: i was on Xmonad earlier, wanted a bit eye candy for my sore eyes, KDE is good enough.:) first time today.
[09:24] <may_null> cab i fix or something from cobsole?
[09:24] <reisio> thedoctar: but you seem adamant
[09:24] <Squarism> ...on second run
[09:24] <Evilkiss> thedoctar, i have netbook where is installed ubuntu 11.04, and i use there classic desktop
[09:24] <reisio> thedoctar: your best bet is to hope Mate will be available before that happens
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> sattu94: its good to try new stuff
[09:24] <thedoctar> reisio: haha, yes i do. thanks for all of you help! :)
[09:24] <thedoctar> Evilkiss: yeh, that's an options i guess
[09:25] <thedoctar> reisio: hahaha, i hope so :)
[09:25] <reisio> thedoctar: so maybe go with 10.04
[09:25] <thedoctar> reisio: yeh i was thinking of that cause it's lts
[09:25] <reisio> yup
[09:25] <reisio> gives you a couple years
[09:25] <TimLoal> ActionParsnip  :)  i'm not completly dim and i'ev been a computer engineer/programmer for 20 years, just on 'an other' OS.  It would be soooooo great if there was a flavour of xnix that mimiced the other OS?
[09:25] <xskydevilx> What does this error mean: "W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net oneiric Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 61E5F6C1A69241F1" ?
[09:25] <reisio> if GNOME 2 is going to be forked/maintained again, it will be by then
[09:26] <thedoctar> reisio: cool, thanks. do you know anything about mate?
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> TimLoal: the other OS?
[09:26] <Evilkiss> thedoctar, so you can choose that desktop version you want to use
[09:26] <reisio> thedoctar: https://github.com/Perberos/Mate-Desktop-Environment
[09:27] <filip_> Hi, I have a problem making a metapackage: it should work for all architectures and it should depend on skype. However, on amd64 it writes that it "has unmet dependencies (...) skype is not installable". Skype may be installed on amd64 using "apt-get install skype:i386".
[09:27] <filip_> but the "skype:i386" dep does not build
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> xskydevilx: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 61E5F6C1A69241F1
[09:27] <TimLoal> ActionParsnip windows 2 through 7, currently 7 and Vista but XP would do
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> xskydevilx: if you add PPAs using the add-apt-repository  command, that is managed.If you start messing around with sources.list you will need to manually import keys
[09:28] <Maketwo> I'm trying to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10. The upgrade tool says "Couldn't calculate the upgrade" and stops, but doesn't tell me how to continue, or what's the conflicting package, or anything. How do I resolve this?
[09:28] <TimLoal> ActionParsnip there are sooo many things hard wired into my brain that it is dificult to change.  Old dog and new tricks, comes to mind :)
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> TimLoal: why should it copy Windows? Why not make something new. Just because Windows users need to learn something new doesn't make it bad design
[09:28] <jac0bz1> Hi!
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> TimLoal: thats just Windows users being lazy
[09:29] <raven> how to create more panels in gnome 3
[09:29] <jac0bz1> I'm trying to install the gnome shell extension with no luck
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> filip_: grab the 64bit deb instead. You can get it from the skype website
[09:29] <jac0bz1> I followed this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhKlaUu7CZU&feature=relmfu
[09:30] <filip_> ActionParsnip: there is a problem I _need_ it as a package; I am afraid I can not run "dpkg -i ..." from within a package installation script
[09:30] <jac0bz1> did EVERYTHING, but a) I had no .themes folder (So i created one) b) Cant select any shell theme in the advanced settings
[09:31] <TimLoal> ActionParsnip bad argument.  No its just me being lazy.    It should copy windows to make it easy 'for people to change'.  That is after all one of the clames of Ubuntu.  Plus i'm a very busy professional and i don't have time to get on a learning curve.
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> filip_: whyever not?
[09:31] <airtonix> TimLoal: offtopic
[09:31] <thrillERboy> Hi, Is there a software to display keystrokes on screen, I'm recording a tutorial for VIM. Do you guys know any?
[09:31] <airtonix> thrillERboy: yes there is
[09:31] <filip_> ActionParsnip: I am trying to make a metapackage that downloads all useful stuff for lame users -> I am reducing the CLI commands to bare minimum
[09:32] <TimLoal> ActionParsnip have you ever used a keyboard from a diffrent country and changed it to have everything where you expect it, its not lazyness, its habit
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> TimLoal: its hugely intuitive, yes there is a learning curve but that will happen in any OS. Did you transfer from Office XP to 2007? Have you seen that ribbon garbage? New system, new methods, its simple
[09:32] <eboyjr> How can I make gnome-terminal beep?
[09:32] <airtonix> thrillERboy: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/10/screenkey-desktop-recording-tool-displays-key-presses-on-screen/
[09:32] <thrillERboy> thanks a ton airtonix
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> eboyjr: i believe if you run:  sudo modprobe pcspkr    it will beep
[09:33] <filip_> <ActionParsnip: can include dependency on skype, but it does not find skype:i386 on the amd64 architecture. OR I can include dependency on skype:i386, but this makes my package fail from building.
[09:33] <TimLoal>  ActionParsnip  thats why i don't use the new office
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> TimLoal: exactly but hey, microsoft do it so it must be the right way?
[09:33] <jac0bz1> Anyone else having problems installing gnome shell extension?
[09:33] <airtonix> jac0bz1: which extension?
[09:34] <TimLoal> airtonix like i care, if you don't want to hear somthing you don't like.  If reality is uncomfortable then i'm sorry
[09:34] <deowood> Hi there! I can connect to two different (equally competent) proxy servers. But the problem is I can find any software/trick to use both simultaneoulsy to increase b/w...
[09:34] <jac0bz1> user-theme
[09:34] <deowood> * I can't find..
[09:34] <BenXYZ> If I want to configure the Unity Launcher, do I HAVE to install new stuff?   If M$ didn't exist we would probably be on mars by now
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> filip_: uninstall the skype you have installed now
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> TimLoal: possibly :)
[09:35] <arghx> alesan: yes it's true. and gnome 2 will vanish from all other distros over time too, since it's not developed anymore
[09:35] <airtonix> jac0bz1: are you installing it with apt-get or manually in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions ?
[09:35] <alesan> so how can I do to not touch the GUI that my mom spent three years to know how to use?
[09:35] <raven> how to customize gnome3 shell
[09:35] <TimLoal> airtonix you don't know me or know how i feel.  MAybe you want me to feel mad, which is why you prejudge me
[09:35] <jac0bz1> manually
[09:35] <alesan> I mean is there a way to have the normal interface or not?
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> !nounity | alesan
[09:36] <reisio> alesan: don't dist-update for the time being :p
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> alesan: or install xfce4 and use xfce ;)
[09:36] <reisio> alesan: there is, but it'll be complex
[09:36] <alesan> reisio, I will not upgrade, for sure
[09:36] <auronandace> TimLoal: do you have a ubuntu support question?
[09:36] <alesan> ActionParsnip, but that is a different GUI
[09:36] <arghx> alesan: you can't. it's similar to gnome 2 but definitely not exactly gnome 2. slowly show your mum the new interface
[09:36] <reisio> alesan: there is some talk of a fork of GNOME 2, if that happens in the next two years, you'll be just fine :p
[09:37] <alesan> arghx, I now live at the other side of the planet
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> alesan: sure, but it smells like Gnome2 and you can run your Gnome apps in xfce
[09:37] <arghx> alesan: just like the windows 8 GUI is totally different from windows 7 and utterly alien to windows XP
[09:37] <illmortal> does anyone know how to check if a IR remote controller is communicating with Ubuntu?
[09:37] <TimLoal> ActionParsnip meaning that M$'s poor technology has gheld back the whole planet.  This is why i'm jumping on IMO the first version of xnix that dosen't require a degree in computer scicence or a GREAT deal of free time to configure stuff
[09:37] <filip_> ActionParsnip: thanks, I will try to run dpkg from a package installation script...
[09:37] <filip_> ActionParsnip: hope that it helps
[09:37] <alesan> arghx, I do not want to install windows
[09:38] <TimLoal> auronandace dude don't get so hung up on things relax and live a little
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> filip_: if you run the script with sudo, the sudo commands in the script will be authorised too
[09:38] <arghx> alesan: it's as an example. as how all OSes change over time and you must adapt and train your users
[09:38] <kanha> i fixed a bug and trying to push it to lauchpad by giving cmd as>>>>bzr push lp:~abhishekkumarsingh-cse/+junk/bash-completion/ubuntu/oneiric/bash-completion/oneiric      but its not working as my ssh is blocked.how can i push it to launchpad without using ssh??
[09:38] <auronandace> TimLoal: with respect, if you're not willing to learn you won't get far
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> TimLoal: I find the UI more intuitive in Linux, but thats me. Maybe I'm just more adaptable
[09:39] <jac0bz1> airtonix: I followed the video-guide (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhKlaUu7CZU&feature=relmfu) on every step, even whent throug it like six times to make shure i did everything... still, no luck
[09:39] <intangir> what happened to zsnes, and world of goo, they arent in the repos
[09:39] <alesan> arghx, well I have found what to do: do not upgrade Ubuntu, I will keep it forever like this
[09:39] <vyadhaka> is the following partition scheme right for GPT on a BIOS system: http://paste.ubuntu.com/709418/, from what I understand GRUB should be installed to EF02 partition, which is the BIOS Boot Partition. Is that right?
[09:39] <sattu94> ActionParsnip: what is the window, that middle clicking the desktop brings up in plasma-desktop ?
[09:39] <reisio> intangir: dpkg -i
[09:39] <airtonix> jac0bz1: you should prefix your request for help with the version of ubuntu you are using if it is not the latest supported release.
[09:39] <alesan> bye!
[09:39] <Flynsarmy> I have an SFTP bookmark in nautilus but forgot to set KeepAliveInterval in ssh_config and it timed out. Now whenever I click the bookmark all I get is 'Error: ssh program unxpectedly exited'. How can I fix thsi short of logging out and back in?
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> sattu94: I don't have middle click, sorry. Maybe others can advise
[09:40] <eboyjr> ActionParsnip: Instead I want to use the sound from my sound settings like "Glass" | Sonar | Bark | Default
[09:40] <filip_> ActionParsnip: I was worrying not about privileges, but about running some apt-get or dpkg from within an installation script of a package; therefore during the script execution apt-get is already running
[09:40] <jac0bz1> i'm using 11.10
[09:40] <TimLoal> auronandace who says i'm not already far.  How many businesses do you run, on how many continents?  MAte really don't judge me.  It is ignorant arrogant attitudes like that which put people off moving over to xninx
[09:40] <airtonix> jac0bz1: why then are you following that guide instead of simply using the gnome3 packages in the repo ?
[09:41] <TimLoal> ActionParsnip try learning mandarin, because you live in china, i'd call that fairly adaptable ;)
[09:41] <jac0bz1> 1. I'm new to Linux 2. That was the only guide i found
[09:41] <auronandace> TimLoal: you misunderstand me, i'm not judging you, just pointing out a simple principle that is required in modern computing
[09:41] <illmortal> does anyone know how to check if a IR remote controller is communicating with Ubuntu?
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> filip_: that's fine, just add sdo as you expect, then run the script with sudo. I have similar here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/709425/
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> TimLoal: i'd like to. Currently learning some italian though
[09:42] <reisio> illmortal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LIRC
[09:42] <airtonix> jac0bz1: ah ok, head over to omgubuntu have a browse around while i grab an appropriate link for you
[09:42] <jamil_1> anyone? http://paste.ubuntu.com/709419/
[09:42]  * eboyjr things #ubuntu is too broad of a channel
[09:42] <filip_> ActionParsnip: the package installation script is ran under root privileges always, as it is executed by apt-get
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> filip_: all I do is run:  sudo fullupgrade    and off it goes ;)
[09:42] <hulaka> Why on Lubuntu some software fonts are so bad & small? Example: Libre on Ubuntu & Lubuntu: http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/449/screen7h.png / http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/4814/screen6c.png. So different, so bad.
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> filip_: its ran by my user, which is in the admin group, using sudo
[09:43] <filip_> ActionParsnip: now I will stop ranting and give the "wget+dpkg" way it a try
[09:43] <reisio> hulaka: they don't look that odd to me
[09:43] <reisio> hulaka: but the answer is because the text configuration differs, of course
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> hulaka: change the font size....
[09:44] <airtonix> jac0bz1: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/official-gnome-shell-extensions.html
[09:44] <hulaka> It's not that easy ... some stuff is ok, some isn't. Mostly software got bad fonts
[09:44] <Squarism> Man, how should go about rsync'ing files that dont have "write" enabled files.. cant be re-copied?
[09:44] <filip_> ActionParsnip: anyway, thanks; rebuilding PPA takes several tens of minutes
[09:44] <hulaka> But system stuff seems to be pretty ok
[09:44] <TimLoal> auronandace gezza I'm a computer programmer and product designer, not to mention a polyglot.  I understand simple and complexed principles of product design and development, maybe you don't.  One simple principle is don't make it dificult for your users to move from the compettitors!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[09:45] <airtonix> !troll | TimLoal
[09:45] <A_J> can som1 link me to the new features in 11.10.
[09:45] <Squarism> !troll
[09:46] <auronandace> TimLoal: perhaps you should invest some time in learning about product lock-in and the history of microsoft, bottom line is if you want to use linux don't expect it to bend over backwards and become like windows to suit you
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> A_J: http://www.tested.com/news/whats-new-and-notable-in-ubuntu-1110-oneiric-ocelot/3014/

[09:46] <oCean> auronandace: TimLoal, please take this discussion off this channel
[09:47] <BenXYZ> It seems that half the software Center window is now taken up with a massive ad for the game Braid. Can I remove this?
[09:47] <A_J> what is duck duck go
[09:47] <auronandace> A_J: a search engine
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> A_J: www.duckduckgo.com
[09:47] <jac0bz1> airtonix: Is there a way to force update? the terminal says that i allready got the latest version
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> A_J: here is why it rocks: http://dontbubble.us/
[09:48] <jac0bz1> btw: OMGUbuntu is a pretty nice looking site! I'll bet I'll find it usefull
[09:48] <dr_willis> jac0bz1:  latest version of what?
[09:48] <airtonix> jac0bz1: yeah add --reinstall on the end of your apt-get install command
[09:49] <Calinou> !advertising | jac0bz1
[09:49] <Calinou> <_<
[09:49] <jac0bz1> Calinou: ? Say what?
[09:49] <airtonix> jac0bz1: webupd8 is also useful
[09:49] <Calinou> "<jac0bz1> btw: OMGUbuntu is a pretty nice looking site! I'll bet I'll find it usefull" > that's advertising
[09:49] <LjL> Calinou: no need to be so strict, he just mentioned a site
[09:49] <airtonix> jac0bz1: just ignore Calinou, he's mad.
[09:50] <jac0bz1> ok :)
[09:50] <dr_willis> :)
[09:50] <Calinou> lol airtonix
[09:50] <Calinou> NO.
[09:50] <airtonix> oh ok
[09:50] <dr_willis> I better not mention my list of ubuntu links i have at delicious then.
[09:50] <IdleWarship> Is it possible and/or easy to create a Ubuntu 11 startup USB from the command line?
[09:50] <sinux> have to go hungry bye for now
[09:51] <dr_willis> IdleWarship:  you are supposed to be able to just 'dd' the iso file to the flash drive and it should work
[09:51] <dr_willis> IdleWarship:  that worked for me in beta at least
[09:51] <reisio> IdleWarship: for the recent versions
[09:51] <MonkeyDust> dr_willis: please share these links
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> IdleWarship: http://askubuntu.com/questions/21303/create-usb-installer-from-the-command-line

[09:51] <pheonixman> can gnome3 be installed on 11.10
[09:51] <auronandace> !gnome3 | pheonixman
[09:51] <dr_willis> pheonixman:  its installed by default. You can get gnome-shell from the repos
[09:51] <IdleWarship> ActionParsnip: Hoe does one copy/paste or open links in a command line interface?
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> pheonixman: its default if you use the gnome based DE
[09:51] <jamil_1> anyone know reason of this error: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
[09:52] <iwoz> how can i change gnome panel ?
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> IdleWarship: CLI browsers may support it
[09:52] <iwoz> its gnome classical.
[09:52] <pheonixman> dr_willis, ActionParsnip, great!!!...thanks for the info
[09:52] <jatt> does gnome 3 have known issues with ATI cards? The fonts in the menu are not being rendered correctly in my laptop

[09:53] <iwoz> there is nothing about panel setting on Ubuntu Gnome Classical
[09:53] <xiaoxiao> 2Ｂ
[09:53] <xiaoxiao> ｓｖ
[09:53] <dr_willis> iwoz:  webupd8 site has some info on tweaking it also. and the gnome-tweak tool can do some things also.
[09:53] <IdleWarship> dr_willis: What is 'dd'?
[09:53] <iwoz> thanks
[09:53] <IPGD> hi ... why there isn't lamp-server on ubuntu software center ?
[09:53] <IdleWarship> And can I wget the iso easily?
[09:53] <dr_willis> IdleWarship:  a command to do a 'data dump' and somthing you may not be wanting to be using - if you dident know what dd was. :)
[09:54] <IPGD> i stuck on installing lamp server on 11.10
[09:54] <dr_willis> IdleWarship:  torrents may be faster at this time
[09:54] <reisio> IPGD: you know LAMP stands for something
[09:54] <IdleWarship> dr_willis: I've never torrented from command line, either.
[09:54] <auronandace> !lamp | IPGD
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> IdleWarship: its also known as 'disk destroyer' if you use it wrong :D
[09:55] <IdleWarship> ActionParsnip: I guess I'll stay away, then.  That sounds completely awful.
[09:55] <reisio> IdleWarship: you just have to make sure you get the paths right :p
[09:55] <reisio> torrenting from commandline is pretty easy with aria2 :)
[09:55] <IPGD> thx ubottu but ican't install lamp on ubuntu 11.10
[09:56] <reisio> IPGD: sure you can
[09:56] <sattu94> What are activities in the plasma-desktop environment ?
[09:56] <IPGD> @reisio : how to do that ?
[09:56] <oCean> sattu94: you could compare them (somewhat) to Workspaces: a collection of programs etc you are running.
[09:57] <reisio> IPGD: you could start by reading the link you were given
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> IdleWarship: as long as you aresure what you are doing is right its fine
[09:57] <t3i> hi guys
[09:57] <IPGD> i can install lamp server on ubuntu 11.04 but not 11.10
[09:57] <jo-erlend> when I click an indicator, I have to hold the button down, or the menus are hidden. Is that intentional, or is it just here?
[09:57] <IdleWarship> I am not sure.  Not sure at all.  I would be satisfied if I could merely download the ISO, but I don't even know how to do that!
[09:57] <SuprEngr> anyone got Tomboy Notes synching setup in 11.10?  I get as far "Connected. Press Save to start synchronising". The Save button stays greyed out & can't be pressed.
[09:58] <IPGD> ok i will read
[09:58] <IPGD> may be there is something that i miss
[09:58] <IPGD> thx anyone
[09:58] <t3i> i found an interesting thing with ubuntus memory, it jumps around alot compared with debian, i'm wondering what is happening.  Anyone have any idea? http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/7979420/1/deb_vs_ubu?h=6e6674
[09:59] <dr_willis> IdleWarship:  you could use a cli browser like lynx or w3m to go to the ubuntu download site
[09:59] <dr_willis> !download
[09:59] <dr_willis> !torrents
[10:00] <IdleWarship> How can I copy+paste that as an argument?
[10:00] <dr_willis> IdleWarship:  i forget how to use the cli torrent command for transmission. :) but you can use wget to get the .torrent, then try  some cli torrent tool
[10:01] <dr_willis> wget http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/oneiric/server/ubuntu-11.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent
[10:01] <SAKKED> so how can i move that upper bar to down?
[10:01] <dr_willis> SAKKED:  the top panel?
[10:02] <SAKKED> yes
[10:02] <SAKKED> i want it down
[10:02] <dr_willis> SAKKED:  not sure you can these days. :) at least not easially
[10:02] <SAKKED> LOL
[10:02] <dr_willis> it may look like gnome-2 - but its actually gnome-3 with some tweaks.
[10:03] <dr_willis> I think the quicker people stop clinging to the old gnome-2 look/feel the better. :)
[10:03] <IPGD> hi i want to install apache2 on ubuntu 11.10 but it said unable to locate package apache 2
[10:03] <Qualia> How can i reach the other man pages
[10:03] <Qualia> !??
[10:03] <killown> why when you remove the pendrive safely it automatically mount again and never get unmounted?
[10:04] <auronandace> !info apache2 | IPGD
[10:04] <dr_willis> Qualia:  what other man pages?
[10:04] <Qualia> well i wanna read the man pages for System info
[10:04] <gizero> Hi. I've upgraded to 11.11 and don't like Unity. I've switched to Gnome Classic, but I can't move items on the panelbar like I used to be able by unlocking them with right click. Any way to do that?
[10:04] <Qualia> but i cant find the command to read next chapters
[10:04] <Qualia> other than standard "man man"
[10:04] <auronandace> IPGD: it is there, don't put a space between apache and 2
[10:04] <TimLoal> auronandace "don't expect it to bend over backwards and become like windows to suit you", Why TF not?  Do you expect me to bend over backwards to suit Linux?!  Is it about the computer being a slave to the machine(or to the philosophy or the developer in this case) of the machine being a slave to the human?!!!
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> !notunity | gizero
[10:04] <dr_willis> Qualia:  man uses the more/less command...   q to quit, h for help and so forth.
[10:05] <auronandace> TimLoal: please respect this channels rules
[10:05] <Qualia> no u dont understand, im reading the first chapter of man
[10:05] <dr_willis> Qualia:  unless you are meaning the info pages.. what command are you using to get to that 'system info' man page?
[10:05] <auronandace> !ot | TimLoal
[10:05] <Qualia> it says there are 7 other man pages
[10:05] <Qualia> i mean chapters
[10:05] <Qualia> about kernel signals
[10:05] <Qualia> common commands
[10:05] <ulrich> Hi,
[10:05] <Qualia> miscallenous
[10:05] <ulrich> has anyone experienced totem causing the dash-page to open and close inadvertently on oneiric?
[10:05] <Qualia> etc
[10:05] <jac0bz1> airtonix: Thank you so much!! IT WORKED!!!
[10:06] <Qualia> what do i type to read other sections
[10:06] <dr_willis> Qualia:  thers stuff like 'man 5 command'  or 'man 3 somthing'
[10:06] <Qualia> it says what manual page do you want from section x
[10:06] <Squarism> is there some such util such as xargs that instead of doing one long command line, takes each row from standard in to compose a command line for each arg
[10:06] <Qualia> i dont want a page i wanna rad it all
[10:06] <Qualia> why doesnt it show it
[10:06] <Qualia> lol
[10:07] <Qualia> read*

[10:07] <gizero> ActionParsnip, Hi. I have gnome-panel installed, and using Gnome Classic. Yet I can't unlock items on the panel with right click.
[10:07] <flodin> I just installed 11.10 and tried empathy / telepathy out. On the welcome screen I added one account, but now I want to add a second one. How do I do it? The GUI seems to offer no settings at all.
[10:07] <dr_willis> you just arrow down to read the man page.. man dosent have the fancy features of info.
[10:07] <jo-erlend> TimLoal, the fact that many humans are used to windows, does not mean that Windows has all the answers. Microsoft itself has publicly complained about the use of "systray" in Windows, for instance. That is fixed in Ubuntu, but that also means it has to be different.
[10:07] <dr_willis> Theres alternative man page readers that have more features
[10:07] <oCean> jo-erlend: TimLoal, please drop that discussion here

[10:10] <MoonShad0w> Is anyone else with an AMD64 + AMD GPU system experiencing spontaneous hard-locks in 11.10?
[10:10] <jamil_1> ActionParsnip: I stumbled over that link but there was no solution listed
[10:10] <jo-erlend> MoonShad0w, you should be more precise, particularly with regard to the VGA.
[10:10] <IPGD> does anyone know how to install apache2 on ubuntu 11.10 ?
[10:11] <IPGD> http://paste.ubuntu.com/709454/
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> jamil_1: yes, its an unsolved bug.Keep an eye on it. You should also add that you are also affected
[10:11] <MonkeyDust> IPGD: try apt-get update, first
[10:11] <IPGD> i have the following error : http://paste.ubuntu.com/709454/
[10:11] <auronandace> IPGD: sudo apt-get install apache2

[10:12] <xsacha> hi. i installed an application but for some reason or another it became corrupted and the install did not complete. not i can't install anything using apt-get anymore because it says "The package nfccorkboard needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it." -- how do I fix this?!
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> IPGD: weird, its in the main repo. Do you have that enabled?
[10:12] <sweb> how can i replace with cp , with replace method ?
[10:12] <dhruvasagar> since I upgraded to 11.10 Banshee has broken, I am looking at a lot of bugs and threads regarding it, has anyone been successful at fixing it without removing VLC ?
[10:13] <IPGD> @action : yes
[10:13] <MonkeyDust> xsacha: try rebooting in recovery Mode and choose Repair
[10:13] <jo-erlend> MoonShad0w, yes, that's been problematic forever. Have you tried using the open radeon driver? It's come a long way the last year. I've stopped using the proprietary driver for my HD5850 altogether.
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> IPGD: use tab to complete nicks and drop the @ stuff and it will highlight me
[10:13] <IPGD> i am trying  : apt-get update
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> IPGD: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install apache2
[10:13] <Guest39038> Hi :)
[10:13] <MoonShad0w> jo-erlend: I'll try that. If that doesn't clear it up, I'll do a clean install on a separate drive and get back to you.
[10:14] <jo-erlend> IPGD, if you want a LAMP server, don't install the apache2 package. Use sudo apt-get install lamp-server instead.
[10:14] <IPGD> thx ActionParsnip i'm trying
[10:14] <oCean> !rootirc > Guest39038
[10:14] <zeroinf> Hello. I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 yesterday and I can not login anymore. At the login screen, I enter my login/Pass, the screen becomes black and... return to the login screen. (when my password is wrong it jsut says it to me)
[10:14] <Guest39038> ?
[10:14] <samiso> I have a problem related to plymouth
[10:14] <Gentoo64> Guest39038: hi
[10:14] <IPGD> jo-erlend: why i can't install one by one
[10:14] <xsacha> MonkeyDust: i'd prefer not reboot. there's no other way/
[10:15] <samiso> When i boot, plymouth tries to configure the network, but i have it set to configure the network when i login
[10:15] <zeroinf> I can not log my user account but I can log with the "guest" one
[10:15] <jo-erlend> IPGD, you can if you want to, but then you'd have to configure everything manually afterwards to work together. The LAMP task does everything for you.
[10:15] <samiso> so it fails
[10:15] <samiso> then it tries to continue to boot
[10:15] <IPGD> jo-erlend: thx for info
[10:15] <samiso> and then the screen freezes
[10:16] <pvh_sa> xsacha, have you tried sudo apt-get install -f
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> zeroinf: what happens when you try to log in?
[10:16] <oCean> jo-erlend, IPGD as long as he has responses that apache2 cannot be found, tasksel will fail too
[10:16] <samiso> i have to start x manually
[10:16] <th__> anyone familiar with "aristo"
[10:16] <pvh_sa> xsacha, and if that doesn't work, apt-get remove <bad package>
[10:16] <samiso> and when i do my network wont work
[10:16] <th__> anyone familiar with arista video converter
[10:16] <reisio> th__: taking a poll?
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> !info arista

[10:17] <Serious_Sam> Hi there! There are onle separate Qt tools in Software Center. How can I install whole Qt package?
[10:17] <th__> arista doesnt convert anything because it needs somekind of a plugin
[10:17] <xsacha> pvh_sa: i tried apt-get install -f and apt-get remove nfccorkboard and it gives the same error
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> th__: looks pretty sweet
[10:17] <jo-erlend> MoonShad0w, does it lookup at boot? Whenever I've used the proprietary driver, I've had to uninstall it before installing any kernel updates and reinstall after the update.
[10:18] <th__> ActionParsnip, what looks?
[10:18] <aureianimus> can i configure lightdm in 11.10 such that my login name is not shown?
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> zeroinf: how much free space does the system have?
[10:18] <dhruvasagar> I can't install banshee or rhythmbox because they need libmtp9 but it is not going to be installed. can anyone help at all!?
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> th__: arista
[10:18] <zeroinf> @ActionParsnip : When I try to log with my account : the password is "validated" and the screen becomes black. Then after 1 seconde the login screen appears again.
[10:18] <th__> okay im trying to convert a video with arista. but it doesnt work because it needs some plugin
[10:18] <rrykua> Hi all. Is it possible to configure System Monitor such that it shows one graph for all cores instead of separate graphs for each core?
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> zeroinf: how much free space do you have?
[10:18] <th__> and the automated plugin installer doesnt work
[10:18] <dr_willis> th__:  i noticed not all formats are supported for legal reasons I belive.
[10:19] <pvh_sa> xsacha, and have you tried apt-get remove --purge nfccorkboard
[10:19] <MoonShad0w> jo-erlend: no, I'm able to log in and use the system, but it will occasionally crash with no apparent cause, requiring me to hard-reset
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> th__: what is missing?
[10:19] <zeroinf> ActionParsnip: what is the command line to see that ? (because I can log with the CTRL+ALT+F1)
[10:19] <dr_willis> th__:  i could make a xvid. but not a mp4 i belive with aac audio.
[10:19] <th__> dr_willis, it tries to download it
[10:19] <th__> dr_willis, okay...
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> zeroinf: df -h
[10:19] <th__> ActionParsnip, GStreamer element qtmux
[10:19] <pneftali> hi guys. any difference between chrome and chromium ?
[10:19] <dr_willis> th__:  winff is a similer tool. but theres some extra libs  that are needed for supporting some kinds of video.
[10:19] <pvh_sa> xsacha, the other thing is - if you have the nfccorkboard package archive: dpkg -i <package archive name>
[10:20] <auronandace> dhruvasagar: have you tried installing it? : sudo apt-get install libmtp9
[10:20] <Gentoo64> pneftali: yes. chromium dont come with flash or pdf stuff
[10:20] <dr_willis> th__:  i do recall arista downloaing some gstreamer ugly plugin when i ran it yesterday
[10:20] <pneftali> just found out i got chromium installed too
[10:20] <dr_willis> !gstreamer
[10:20] <zeroinf> ActionParsnip: 15go free
[10:20] <reisio> ffmpeg vs gstreamer, let us be serious
[10:20] <th__> dr_willis, so it did work?
[10:20] <pisto> did you notice it too? it seems that disk utilization changed from 11.04: when copying big files, OS seems to give high priority to this copy task, starving almost every other read/write requests. This gives more speed to disk intensive tasks, but almost blocks any other application
[10:20] <pneftali> Gentoo64, i see. no other special things about it ?
[10:20] <dr_willis> th__:  if you install the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package it may pull in most of those needed.
[10:20] <Gentoo64> pneftali: not really. chromium is open source
[10:21] <Gentoo64> and has a different color icon
[10:21] <dhruvasagar> auronandace: yes, thank you for at least responding, https://gist.github.com/1290738
[10:21] <koegs> is anybody able to use amdcccle in oneiric? crashes on my system
[10:21] <pvh_sa> xsacha, or, from another website: dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq nfccorkboard
[10:21] <MonkeyDust> chromium is the open source version of chrome
[10:21] <dr_willis> th__:  i was able to convert to xvid. but not using aac audio. not like it matters a lot. :) i just converting stuff to smaller sizes for my phone.
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> zeroinf: ok that's fine. ok, run:  sudo chown $USER:$USER $HOME     I assume you are logged in as the troublesome user
[10:21] <khaard> anyone had successfully ran ies4linux @ wine1.2 / 1.3 ?
[10:21] <jo-erlend> MoonShad0w, for no apparent reason, I blame the proprietary software. :) But seriously, you should try the open driver. It may not be just as fast, but it's proven to be a lot more stable and painless here.
[10:21] <pneftali> Gentoo64, but it came from the same company that created chrome, right ?
[10:21] <Gentoo64> pneftali: its what chrome is made from
[10:22] <th__> dr_willis, i would like to convert a matroska to something that playstation likes better
[10:22] <xsacha> pvh_sa: thanks!
[10:22] <reisio> khaard: since it doesn't do the latest IE versions I usually just use a Windows VM these days
[10:22] <zeroinf> ActionParsnip: ok I just ran it.
[10:22] <dhruvasagar> auronandace: can you help ?
[10:22] <auronandace> dhruvasagar: tried installing libmtp-common?
[10:22] <MoonShad0w> jo-erlend: I just need to install fglrx and fglrx-amdcccle, right?
[10:22] <dr_willis> th__:  winff can do that also. avidemux should be able to also.. but they are all front ends to ffmpeg, or mencoder. :)
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> th__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoEncoding
[10:22] <pneftali> Gentoo64, alright thanks for the info. will google it up the rest
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> zeroinf: you'll get a warning about .gvfs
[10:22] <th__> ActionParsnip, ipod?
[10:23] <dhruvasagar> auronandace: if I try doing that, it demands vlc to be removed.
[10:23] <Qualia> What is the safest way to change the "Default Size and Location" of my Gnome terminal ?
[10:23] <yyka_> hello
[10:23] <reisio> pneftali: to put it bluntly: chrome is what win32 suckers get :p
[10:23] <dr_willis> if you want total controll of your converting. :) it pays to read up on ffmpeg and mencoder. and perhaps compile your own version so you have the latest versions.
[10:23] <reisio> yyka_: hi
[10:23] <jo-erlend> MoonShad0w, I would not install those unless you have good reason to. The built-in driver is much better for my HD5850, at least. And AMD is focusing on the newest cards for that driver, so I would expect you to have good results too.
[10:23] <Gentoo64> Qualia: heh in gconf i think. if not set --geometry to the shortcut
[10:23] <auronandace> dhruvasagar: ah, so there is where the conflict is
[10:23] <zeroinf> ActionParsnip: yes, permission denied
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> zeroinf: thats fine, ok try and log in
[10:23] <Qualia> and how do i find the shortcut or gconf in which directory
[10:23] <dhruvasagar> auronandace: yes that I know, I have even read about it, but what do I do ? I can't live without VLC
[10:24] <Gentoo64> Qualia: do you mean when you run it from the side bar?
[10:24] <killown> when the pendrive is removed safely it automatically mount again and never get unmounted, how fix it?
[10:24] <th__> dr_willis, winff just gives me more errors...
[10:24] <auronandace> dhruvasagar: why do you need rythembox or banshee?
[10:24] <xsacha> pvh_sa: "dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled: Package is in a very inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal."
[10:24] <lotuspsychje> !features
[10:24] <th__> 13:24:19 < th__> dr_willis, winff just gives me more errors...
[10:24] <gizero> With the Gnome 3 shell I have to click Activities and right-click on a shortcut to launch a new instance of it if I already have it running. If I single click it shows me the already runnning instance (if I wanted to switch to that I would have clicked it in the preview). Can I change this so it launches a new instance always?
[10:24] <john32> what's the recommended method for rotating wallpapers like from a directory
[10:24] <th__> ups
[10:24] <reisio> th__: sounds like your system hasn't been properly maintained
[10:24] <khaard> reisio, well it runs ie7/ie8/ie9 at beta funcionality which is enough 4 me, ive considered vm, but my computer is a crap, i wouldn't work normally if i would ran vm
[10:24] <SAKKED> dude
[10:24] <Qualia> No i mean where are they, how can i do what you said
[10:24] <dhruvasagar> auronandace: for managing music library
[10:24] <lotuspsychje> !changes
[10:24] <dr_willis> th__:  with winff. i noticed i had to go to the settings and change the 'x-terminal-emulator' setting to use just 'xterm'
[10:24] <SAKKED> theres no gconf-editor in 11.10?????
[10:24] <john32> im surprised GNOME3 doesn't allow you to rotate through a bunch of wallpapers easily on say a 15 minute interval
[10:24] <reisio> john32: xscreensaver comes with something for that
[10:25] <lotuspsychje> !ocelot
[10:25] <pvh_sa> xsacha, yeah the dpkg -i suggestion would do a re-install. but does dpkg continue after that warning?
[10:25] <auronandace> dhruvasagar: tried exaile or amarok instead?
[10:25] <john32> xscreensaver is for screensavers though reisio
[10:25] <yyka_> it's very speed there !, difficult to read ! :)
[10:25] <reisio> john32: oh just in generals, hum
[10:25] <john32> oh
[10:25] <auronandace> dhruvasagar: there is also gmusicbrowser
[10:25] <zeroinf> ActionParsnip: does not work. Only the Guest Session can log in, my user session is just accessible in console mode. Maybe a gnome/driver/... conflict ?
[10:25] <reisio> john32: I assume there's some gconf tool pref you can use with a cron job
[10:25] <xsacha> pvh_sa: it continues but there's an error in the uninstall because the uninstaller says it can't remove 'tag handler' and then dpkg gets an error and fails to uninstall
[10:25] <dhruvasagar> auronandace: amarok seemed a bit too bloated to me, I think i've looked at exaile, are you recommending something ? do you think it's good ?
[10:25] <pneftali> reisio, lol. so do i have to dump my installed chrome then ?  chromium > chrome ?
[10:25] <Ng_> any1 using vmware?
[10:26] <reisio> Ng_: taking a poll?
[10:26] <rrykua> Hi all. Is it possible to configure System Monitor such that it shows one graph for all cores instead of separate graphs for each core?
[10:26] <reisio> pneftali: no, but I would :p
[10:26] <Gentoo64> xsacha: have you tried apt-get autoclean and autoremove?
[10:26] <dr_willis> pneftali:  to be honest.. ive never really noticed a differance in the 2. :)
[10:26] <pvh_sa> xsacha, can you get the .deb file and try a dpkg -i  on it?
[10:26] <MoonShad0w> jo-erlend: oh, that is the proprietary one. my mistake.
[10:26] <lotuspsychje> anywhere i can find ocelot screens?
[10:26] <Gentoo64> dhruvasagar: for a music only player?
[10:26] <xsacha> pvh_sa: yeah i've got the .deb. i'll try
[10:26] <jo-erlend> MoonShad0w, right. The open one is built-in so you don't need to install anything.
[10:26] <auronandace> dhruvasagar: i like exaile myself but i rarely use those types of programs, i stick to vlc and audacious mainly
[10:27] <reisio> dhruvasagar: exaile is the GNOME version of amarok
[10:27] <Gentoo64> cmus is an amazing ncurses player
[10:27] <SAKKED> how can i move window buttons to right from left?
[10:27] <SAKKED> gconf-editor doesnt work
[10:27] <reisio> I guess I should say GTK+ version, but the gstreamer deps make me wary
[10:28] <SAKKED> http://lifehacker.com/5500577/move-ubuntus-window-buttons-back-to-the-right
[10:28] <SAKKED> i tried that trick
[10:28] <SAKKED> it worked on 10.10
[10:28] <SAKKED> but not on 11-10
[10:28] <dhruvasagar> reisio: yes I could make that out, amarok needed a mysql db or something from what I remember, does reisio too ? I still think banshee / rhythmbox are better but I could try it out until the libmtp9 issue is fixed
[10:28] <aureianimus> can i configure lightdm in 11.10 such that my login name is not shown?
[10:28] <xsacha> pvh_sa: it says "Preparing to replace nfccorkboard ...". It then attempts to uninstall the old nfccorkboard and fails. "dpkg: error while cleaning up"
[10:28] <dhruvasagar> reisio: I meant does exaile too ?
[10:28] <reisio> dhruvasagar: depends on what you want :p
[10:28] <tavi99> Hi everyone, I have ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop with dual boot windows 7. Since I installed ubuntu my bluetooth mouse does not work in either os. Can anyone help me?
[10:29] <reisio> dhruvasagar: you might check out quodlibet
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> SAKKED: gconftool-2 --set “/apps/metacity/general/button_layout” --type string “maximize,minimize,close:”
[10:29] <xsacha> autoclean and autoremove did nothing
[10:29] <zeroinf> ActionParsnip: Login sucessfull, with a savage method : I moved all my ~/.* directories in a backup directory
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> xsacha: they clean out the old debs you used to install updates and apps with
[10:29] <john32> hmm i guess http://www.webilder.org/download.html would work reisio
[10:29] <m3talh3ad> http://paste.ubuntu.com/709479/  any help with that?
[10:30] <MonkeyDust> xsacha: try dpkg --configure -a
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> zeroinf: i see,I guess if it works :)
[10:30] <azi_> what's going on?
[10:30] <reisio> john32: cool
[10:30] <azi_> i have updated to ubuntu 11.10 and now I cannot login into the system. before the update i had autologin set now it prompts me for my password and username and after a few seconds hangs and restarts the login screen
[10:31] <zeroinf> ActionParsnip: Thanks anyway. Goodbye
[10:31] <Gentoo64> azi_: do a clean install
[10:31] <dhruvasagar> Gentoo64: yes
[10:31] <Gentoo64> dhruvasagar: ?
[10:31] <azi_> Gentoo64: heh, why?
[10:31] <xsacha> MonkeyDust: ok it says "error processing nfccorkboard (--configure): Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting configuration"
[10:31] <Gentoo64> azi_: because the upgrades break everyones comp
[10:31] <dhruvasagar> Gentoo64: you asked me a question, for a music only player...
[10:31] <azi_> Gentoo64: this upgrade or upgrades in general?
[10:31] <oCean> Gentoo64: please stop such FUD messages
[10:31] <MonkeyDust> xsacha: there you have it :)
[10:31] <Gentoo64> dhruvasagar: cmus is very fast and clean
[10:32] <tavi99> Hi everyone, I have ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop with dual boot windows 7. Since I installed ubuntu my bluetooth mouse does not work in either os. Can anyone help me?
[10:32] <xsacha> MonkeyDust: what to do?
[10:32] <Gentoo64> oCean: fud?
[10:32] <MonkeyDust> xsacha: follow the instructions
[10:32] <Ng_> i have windows 7 and i want to install vmware so that i can run ubuntu on it,but i keep getting error while installing vmware .msi failed... they said type this VMware-*-203739.exe /z "action"="install" but always cmd gives me another error: vmware x 203739 .exe is not recongnized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file
[10:32] <oCean> Gentoo64: fear, uncertainty, doubt. There are many, many succesfull upgrades
[10:32] <reisio> oCean: mean un, too, though...
[10:32] <sattu94> tavi99: are you sure the mouse is working fine?
[10:32] <dhruvasagar> Gentoo64: hmmm it works with mpd I suppose, does it support multimedia keys ?
[10:32] <reisio> many, even
[10:32] <Gentoo64> oCean: i recommended clean install because almost every message is "i upgraded to 11.10 now i cant log in, or get black screen, or cant boot etc etc
[10:32] <xsacha> MonkeyDust: if i install, it says replacing.. and then tells me there's an error cleaning up :(
[10:33] <Ng_> any1?
[10:33] <Gentoo64> dhruvasagar: no just basic keys
[10:33] <dhruvasagar> Gentoo64: what about searching and mp3 tag editing etc ?
[10:33] <oCean> Gentoo64: messages like "because the upgrades break everyones comp" are uncalled for
[10:33] <reisio> dhruvasagar: the daemon part of mpd supports them :p
[10:33] <sattu94> tavi99: because since it doesnt work in windows too, it might be a hardware problem..
[10:33] <Gentoo64> oCean: ok sorry just going by what ive seen
[10:33] <pvh_sa> xsacha, aaargh. i don't really have a solution to that. what i would do is try and fix up the things so it DOES uninstall... but i can't give specific advice
[10:33] <Ng_> ....?
[10:33] <dhruvasagar> Gentoo64: ahhh what good is a music player withot multimedia keys :(, I can live without gui, not keys
[10:33] <ljsoftnet> how do i open synapse inside openbox i dont know the default shortcut
[10:33] <MonkeyDust> xsacha: remove/purge and reinstall seems the only option
[10:34] <sattu94> ljsoftnet: ctrl+space ?
[10:34] <Gentoo64> dhruvasagar: it can index and you can search for songs. or skip through them with the arrow and just press enter to play
[10:34] <tavi99> sattu94: well yes, I changed the battery to a new one, but I have not tried it on another system yet.
[10:34] <xsacha> MonkeyDust: if i try remove or purge it tells me "E: The package package name needs to be reinstalled, but I can’t find an archive for it."
[10:34] <ljsoftnet> sattu94 it doesn't do anything
[10:34] <dhruvasagar> Gentoo64: ok, screenshots do look good
[10:34] <sattu94> ljsoftnet: also, make sure it is actually running in the background as a service/process. do synapse& in a terminal..
[10:35] <lotuspsychje> is there still classic on ocelot?
[10:35] <sattu94> tavi99: i think you should.
[10:35] <reisio> lotuspsychje: there's something similar
[10:35] <MonkeyDust> xsacha: so you can't remove and can't reinstall, that's strange :s
[10:35] <dhruvasagar> reisio: i'll try looking for that too, thanks
[10:35] <xsacha> i know!
[10:35] <ljsoftnet> sattu94 it opens when i synapse in the terminal
[10:35] <lotuspsychje> reisio: so an older pc will boot into that?
[10:36] <sattu94> ljsoftnet: do synapse& , with the & at the end.
[10:36] <reisio> lotuspsychje: define old
[10:36] <xsacha> it's because its postinst/preinst scripts are borked i think
[10:36] <filip_> ActionParsnip: I have tried running apt-get from within a package installation script (i. e. debian/postinst script contained in the .deb file) and it has behaved as I expected, it failed due to another instance of apt-get running
[10:36] <sattu94> ljsoftnet: then do ctrl+space..
[10:36] <MonkeyDust> old = 2002, like mine ;)
[10:36] <filip_> ActionParsnip: anyway, thank you
[10:36] <xsacha> i wish there was just a way to ignore that package
[10:36] <sattu94> ljsoftnet: to bring it up, as and when needed.
[10:36] <HeapException|3> #erlang
[10:37] <lotuspsychje> reisio: some older systems on natty install switched auto to classic because grafix card was not powerfull enough, does ocelot do the same?
[10:37]  * HeapException|3
[10:37] <MonkeyDust> xsacha: repeat: reboot in recovery mode and repair
[10:38] <reisio> lotuspsychje: ask the channel, I assume it does but haven't personally experienced it
[10:38] <lotuspsychje> reisio: ok tnx
[10:38] <reisio> lotuspsychje: FWIW 10.04 is supported until 2013 :)
[10:39] <MoonShad0w> jo-erlend: So I purged fglrx and -amdcccle, and now my system won't display any graphics. What did I do wrong?
[10:39] <ljsoftnet> sattu94 how do i add synapse& in startup?
[10:39] <alvin47> why does my ubuntu netbook 2d session always disappears as soon as i log in?
[10:40] <xsacha> MonkeyDust: is there a way to manually remove its associated files?
[10:40] <smw> lotuspsychje, there is an ubuntu 2d mode. But I have not heard good things about it
[10:40] <dc5ala> alvin47, you automatically get back to login screen?
[10:40] <smw> lotuspsychje, I moved to kde
[10:40] <Aetherix> I love the 2d mode, it's superfast :-)
[10:41] <MoonShad0w> jo-erlend: never mind, spoke before remembering to remove xorg.conf
[10:41] <sattu94>  ljsoftnet does it work ?
[10:41] <smw> Aetherix, good to know. I hated the speed of unity
[10:41] <Aetherix> The speed of Unity is a lot better in 11.10 compared to 11.04
[10:41] <th__> what was the sign for a space in command line?
[10:41] <smw> Aetherix, try kde. a couple hours and it is configured how I like it :-)
[10:41] <reisio> th__: '\ '
[10:41] <sattu94> ljsoftnet: to autostart it in openbox, put syanapse& in openbox's autostart.sh script.
[10:41] <th__> reisio, thanks :)
[10:42] <reisio> :p
[10:42] <dispi> hello! I have problem, hope someone can help. Installed the newest version of ubuntu and sound stopped coming out of my lenovo thinkpad r61i laptops headphone output, only the laptop speakers work. here is the alsa info http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=6241afac06bea3182425e8a60540c27e5e15123a
[10:42] <alvin47> dc5ala, nope.. as desktop appears , the 2d interface disappears, and turns into normal gnome desktop
[10:43] <dc5ala> alvin47, check your ~/.xession-errors for unity2d errors
[10:43] <Aetherix> smw, thanks for suggesting but I'm more of a gnome guy. Always have been and I've tried a couple of different window managers. :)
[10:43] <smw> !aptlock > smw
[10:43] <jo-erlend> MoonShad0w, so you're using the built-in driver now? I'd be interested to hear your opinion when you've used it for a while.
[10:43] <flummy> package "calibre" kills the X11 session instantly every time, even when started as a freshly added user, in unity sessions and in gnome-fallback sessions; dpkg -l says 0.8.8+dfsg-1ubuntu1; nvidia ccelerated graphics driver (version current) [Recommended]; what could i do?
[10:44] <FBR> hey guys after update to oneiric my mic is not working anymore..any idea? thx
[10:44] <lotuspsychje> smw: tnx
[10:44] <smw> Aetherix, I was always a kde guy. For years. Then 4.x got worse and worse
[10:44] <sattu94> bye!
[10:44] <smw> Aetherix, so I moved to gnome
[10:44] <alvin47> dc5ala, from the log viewer? or wherelse?
[10:44] <smw> Aetherix, stayed there for quite some time and considered myself a gnome person.
[10:44] <dc5ala> smw, and now that is getting worse and worse too? ;)
[10:45] <Gentoo64> smw: i thought you just said kde was good and fast?
[10:45] <smw> Aetherix, then I was given the choice between gnome-shell and unity
[10:45] <smw> all of a sudden kde started looking so much better
[10:45] <dc5ala> alvin47, you can also paste that file to a nopaste service, like paste.ubuntu.com, then link it here for others to have a look
[10:45] <smw> and they have fixed quite a bit...
[10:45] <droid1110> have upgraded - but can't login
[10:46] <smw> Gentoo64, when compaired to alternatives
[10:46] <flodin> how do I change the default chat program started via the "envelope" menu on the top right?
[10:46] <Gentoo64> smw: i supose id use it over unity. but unity on 11.10 was very fast even in vm
[10:47] <alvin47> dc5ala, where can i find the log?
[10:47] <dc5ala> alvin47, in your home directory, it's a hidden file starting with a dot
[10:47] <smw> Gentoo64, It takes too long for the launcher to come up when you press the windows button.
[10:47] <lonu_22> hi
[10:47] <MoonShad0w> jo-erlend: I'll have a play with it once I sort out my issues with gnome-panel
[10:48] <alvin47> dc5ala, ok thanks ,wait
[10:48] <Gentoo64> smw: worked fine for me. i didnt try it in a real machine htough just vbox
[10:48] <smw> Gentoo64, I have high standards :-P
[10:48] <th__> should this work?
[10:48] <th__> mplayer max.mp4 -vo /home/th/max2.avi -vc avi -ac mp3
[10:49] <smw> Gentoo64, the best desktop env is officially whichever is in maintence mode
[10:49] <Gentoo64> smw: whats maintanence mode?
[10:49] <azi_> i was able to boot into my updated system but gnome is not listed as the login option.. any clue how to get gnome back?
[10:49] <smw> Gentoo64, not changing too much :-P
[10:49] <FBR> hey guys after update to oneiric my mic is not working anymore..any idea? thx
[10:49] <Gentoo64> smw: unity is an ubuntu thing not gnomes
[10:50] <smw> Gentoo64, yes, which is why I used the standard gnome for 11.04. Standard gnome in 11.10 is gnome 3 with the gnome-shell
[10:50] <alvin47> dc5ala, here it is http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/709501/.. :)
[10:50] <smw> Gentoo64, the gnome shell ticked me off also
[10:50] <jo-erlend> MoonShad0w, heh, by the time you're done sorting out gnome-panel, I will most likely have retired. And I'm only 31 :)
[10:51] <dc5ala> alvin47, okay, will have a look if can find a hint in there
[10:51] <d3vic3> anyone having troubles with oneiric here?
[10:51] <Gentoo64> smw: i tried kde 4 ages ago i just think its too win7ish everythings too small, too many little settings everywhere
[10:51] <jo-erlend> smw, Gnome shell is not standard in 11.10.
[10:51] <smw> jo-erlend, what is?
[10:52] <azi_> how can i even start gnone in 11.10 ?? only this retarded WM is listed as a login option
[10:52] <MonkeyDust> !ask| dc5ala
[10:52] <flodin> azi_: i suppose you need to install it first?
[10:52] <azi_> flodin: why was it even removed?
[10:52] <azi_> flodin: it was my default WM before the update
[10:52] <alvin47> dc5ala, ok thank you very much, i'm counting on that... :D
[10:52] <kingmilo> Can you imagine how difficult it is to cater for everyones indivual preferences when it comes to windows manager, it comes down to your personal choice at the end of the day, at least we have options. IF this was Windows we would not :)
[10:52] <Gentoo64> azi_: ubuntu upgrades have big changes
[10:52] <smw> azi_, afaik it is gone for good.
[10:53] <d3vic3> http://paste.ubuntu.com/709504/
[10:53] <xsacha> :( i nuked every file on my system with 'nfccork' in it and dpkg still complains
[10:53] <smw> azi_, old gnome is gone. That was gnome2 and 11.10 has gnome3
[10:53] <azi_> smw: is there perhaps any other alternative to this WM?
[10:53] <jo-erlend> smw, well, there is a project to fork Gnome 2.
[10:53] <azi_> smw: which has to be installed?
[10:53] <Gentoo64> azi_: try xubuntu its quite similar to gnome 2
[10:53] <__machine> anyone know why my sickbeard.conf (upstart job) doesnt get the right pid? ive tried expect fork and expect daemon and both get the wrong pid… my exec line does su -c 'python Sick-Beard.py …' me … having the wrong pid means i cant stop/start it properly once started…?
[10:53] <Qualia> Hey! I've just downloaded & installed Eclipse but i don't know how to open it from terminal. Can somebody help ?
[10:53] <oCean> !notunity | azi_
[10:53] <azi_> Gentoo64: xfce you mean?
[10:53] <Gentoo64> azi_: yea
[10:53] <smw> azi_, I am using kde.
[10:54] <th__> should this work?
[10:54] <th__> mplayer max.mp4 -vo /home/th/max2.avi -vc avi -ac mp3
[10:54] <jo-erlend> azi_, there are many other WMs than Compiz. Metacity is popular. OpenBox is nice.
[10:54] <Qualia> How do i open eclipse from terminal ?
[10:54] <dispi> !patience
[10:54] <dispi> :)
[10:54] <Gentoo64> th__: vo is output like x11, vdpau etc
[10:55] <th__> Gentoo64, aa okay... im trying to convert that .mp4
[10:55] <jamil_1> Qualia: you are in eclipse folder
[10:55] <jamil_1> ?
[10:55] <Qualia> yes
[10:55] <d3vic3> Qualia: add its path to your $PATH evn var
[10:55] <Gentoo64> th__: use ffmpeg
[10:55] <dc5ala> alvin47, what sessions did you select on login screen?
[10:55] <flodin> azi_: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/08/installing-using-classic-gnome-desktop.html
[10:55] <th__> Gentoo64, why?
[10:55] <jamil_1> Qualia: just to  ./eclipse
[10:55] <jamil_1> *do
[10:56] <smw> th__, avi is not a codec
[10:56] <alvin47> dc5ala, ubuntu netbook edition 2D
[10:56] <Gentoo64> th__: what are you trying to convert, mp4 to avi?
[10:56] <Qualia> Guys, how do i do that ?
[10:56] <smw> th__, and you want to use mencoder
[10:56] <th__> smw, its a container
[10:56] <Qualia> i dont know most of the terminal commands, im learning atm ^^
[10:56] <th__> Gentoo64, sorry
[10:57] <jamil_1> Qualia: you have terminal open ?
[10:57] <th__> h264? to mpeg 4 i think
[10:57] <Gentoo64> th__: ffmpeg -i max.mp4 max.avi
[10:57] <Gentoo64> you can choose whatever opions you want
[10:57] <Gentoo64> like quality, audio etc
[10:57] <jamil_1> Qualia: change directory to the folder containing eclipse installation
[10:57] <th__> Gentoo64, lets see. but mplayer could do that allright?
[10:57] <Qualia> okay i did that
[10:57] <jamil_1> Qualia: cd /path/to/eclispe/installation
[10:58] <Gentoo64> th__: never tried it
[10:58] <FBR> hey guys after update to oneiric my mic is not working anymore..any idea? thx
[10:58] <chadi> is it possible to keep the launcher thing in unity and prevent it from auto hiding?
[10:58] <jamil_1> Qualia: ls in terminal and check if there is a green entry named eclipse
[10:59] <Qualia> yes there are =)
[10:59] <flodin> can I somehow add widgets / panel addons like in gnome2 panels in unity?
[10:59] <flodin> i'd like a cpu usage graph
[10:59] <jamil_1> Qualia: type: ./eclipse
[10:59] <Qualia> yes
[10:59] <dc5ala> alvin47, okay, thought you meant unity2d when you said 2d, can you try to re-install "netbook-launcher-efl" package?
[11:00] <jamil_1> Qualia: ?
[11:00] <Qualia> yeah i did it
[11:00] <allu2> Why is ubuntu one trying to download files i already have?
[11:00] <jamil_1> Qualia: and ?
[11:00] <jamil_1> Qualia: eclipse started or not ?
[11:00] <Qualia> yeah it started
[11:00] <jamil_1> Qualia: good
[11:01] <Qualia> but the problem is different
[11:01] <Qualia> it opens eclipse from this location of course
[11:01] <jamil_1> Qualia: you want to open from any location ?
[11:01] <Qualia> but from my default directory
[11:01] <Qualia> when i type
[11:01] <Qualia> eclipse, it doesnt work.
[11:01] <jamil_1> Qualia: in terminal
[11:01] <Qualia> yes
[11:01] <jamil_1> Qualia: oka
[11:01] <alvin47> dc5ala, nah.. this is 10.04, i'm always logging in to ubuntu netbook edition 2D but later these hours, it's always disappearing after the panel appears
[11:02] <jamil_1> Qualia: copy the path of eclipse
[11:02] <jamil_1> Qualia: complete path
[11:02] <Qualia> jamestunnicliff_, okay
[11:02] <jamil_1> Qualia: /home/username/......
[11:03] <jamil_1> Qualia: gedit ~/.bashrc
[11:03] <spazmi> how can I fix this problem with locales? - http://paste.ubuntu.com/709515/
[11:03] <spazmi> locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
[11:03] <spazmi> locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
[11:03] <Qualia> ok opened it
[11:04] <jamil_1> Qualia: and then at the enf of file put: export PATH=$PATH:pathcopied
[11:04] <jamil_1> *end
[11:04] <nickmoeck_> spazmi: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[11:04] <llutz> spazmi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale
[11:04] <nickmoeck_> spazmi: then choose en_US.UTF-8
[11:04] <Qualia> ok done, what language is this btw ?
[11:04] <BobSapp> hi guys i upgraded to ubuntu 11.10 but i dont have glx anymore.  do i have to reinstall nvidia drivers?
[11:04] <jamil_1> Qualia: bash script i guess
[11:05] <spazmi> nickmoeck_: however, I am on a swedish keyboard... so how do I set that one?
[11:05] <Qualia> ok so that was all ?
[11:05] <MoonShad0w> jo-erlend: Looks like I broke unity somehow. I guess I will be doing that clean install after all.
[11:05] <jamil_1> Qualia: saved it ?
[11:05] <Qualia> yup
[11:05] <Qualia> (i didnt change any values of path)
[11:05] <phlak_user> spazmi: you could also install localeconf and run it (itll prompt you)
[11:05] <jamil_1> Qualia: open a new terminal now
[11:05] <phlak_user> !info localeconf
[11:05] <Qualia> ok
[11:05] <phlak_user> ah
[11:06] <alvin47> dc5ala, i already reinstalled netbook-launcher-efl via synaptic.. what's next? :D
[11:06] <jamil_1> Qualia:  now type in new terminal:  eclispe
[11:06] <dc5ala> alvin47, i am sorry, don't know much about that netbook edition, only see the launcher complaining about a file and a theme (try change that) complaining too
[11:06] <spazmi> phlak_user: thanks I'll try that
[11:06] <spazmi> llutz: I'll look into it, thank you :)
[11:06] <Qualia> well it doesnt work :p
[11:06] <spazmi> nickmoeck_: thanks :)
[11:07] <alvin47> dc5ala, ah see,, ok thanks anyway :D
[11:07] <Qualia> oh
[11:07] <Qualia> i should have replaced the path with directory path
[11:07] <jamil_1> Qualia: and then at the enf of file put: export PATH=$PATH:<PATHCOPIED>
[11:07] <droid1110> dc5ala - Sorry still not much good, just get to a terminal screen
[11:07] <spazmi> phlak_user: couldn't find localeconf
[11:08] <Qualia> so its export DIRETORY=$DIRECTORY:pathcopied
[11:08] <phlak_user> spazmi: yes i realized its not available on Ubuntu :)
[11:09] <spazmi> phlak_user: aah okok
[11:09] <Qualia> wait
[11:09] <dc5ala> droid1110, you don't get a graphical login?
[11:09] <jamil_1> Qualia: PATH is a variable
[11:09] <Qualia> ooookay sorry, changing it
[11:09] <alvin47> dc5ala, i'll try relogging
[11:09] <phlak_user> spazmi: can you run sudo locale-gen
[11:09] <jamil_1> Qualia: name
[11:09] <phlak_user> spazmi: this will generate the locales for you
[11:09] <Qualia> it worked!
[11:09] <Qualia> Opens it from any location now, with a new terminal.
[11:09] <jamil_1> Qualia: good
[11:09] <Qualia> Thanks a lot :)
[11:10] <jamil_1> np
[11:10] <dc5ala> alvin47, good luck! :)
[11:10] <spazmi> phlak_user: right... I got "  en_US.UTF-8... up-to-date"
[11:10] <spazmi> phlak_user: but.. I am using a swedish keyboard.. so what is the locale for that?
[11:11] <alvin47> ok
[11:11] <sharpshooter> how to make a custom splash screen in ubuntu !!
[11:11] <phlak_user> spazmi: swedish
[11:12] <phlak_user> spazmi: LC_ALL=swedish should work
[11:12] <phlak_user> !plymouth
[11:12] <phlak_user> sharpshooter: you need to customize plymouth
[11:12] <thethh> is there anyway to review the video while ffmpeg is converting?
[11:13] <VEndix> Good day, i installed ubuntu 11.10 and what to use Gnome 3 interface, installed it threw gnome.org and when i choose gnome on log in screen it just doesn't open
[11:14] <VEndix> how to open it gnome 3 enviroment?
[11:14] <doubi> 'afternoon all. I foolishly started dd'ing a device to an external HD without specifying a reasonable block size. The drive is ~480Gb, it's copied ~340 since Friday night.
[11:14] <doubi> Now, I've read that ddpt and dd_rescue both have the ability to resume a copy. What I'd like to know is if they'll be able to do so with an image created by plain ol' dd? Because if so, I should be able to Ctrl-C this process and resume it with a reasonable block size and finish the whole thing quicker, right?
[11:15] <Jordan_U> VEndix: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME3 by default, just not GNOME Shell. How did you "install GNOME3"?
[11:15] <VEndix> Jordan_U: threw gnome.org page
[11:15] <Starminn> I am installing ubuntu-restricted-extras (apparently this wasn't done on the install of 11.10 despite my checking it?) and it says "libavutils" must be removed for this installation. Is this okay?
[11:15] <Jordan_U> VEndix: What page specifically?
[11:16] <VEndix> i choose gnome enviroment when loging into the system, and the screen just stucks
[11:17] <villa> How can I transfer a whole folder through sftp?
[11:17] <sharpshooter> how to customize plymouth is there any GUI available ?
[11:18] <EMP> http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3279/2985648063_d3505d05f0.jpg#mac%20keyboard%20F16
[11:18] <phlak_user> villa: sftp -r (recursive)
[11:18] <VEndix> Jordan_U: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/gnome
[11:18] <EMP> 16 dus XD
[11:18] <sharpshooter> phlak_user,  how to customize plymouth is there any GUI available ?
[11:18] <Jordan_U> VEndix: OK. That is a supported way.
[11:18] <VEndix> so how to log into it?
[11:18] <EMP> (wrong channel srry :))
[11:19] <phlak_user> sharpshooter: a quick google search for "How to customize plymouth" returns 669000 results
[11:19] <phlak_user> sharpshooter: why dont you start doing it and then ask questions if you get stuck?
[11:19] <sharpshooter> phlak_user : hmmm I'm gonna do it !
[11:20] <thethh> when i do ffmpeg -i x.mp4 y.avi the result is pretty crappy :( how come?
[11:20] <Gentoo64> thethh: thats the basic command, use options to adjust the quality
[11:20] <VEndix> Jordan_U: how to open it?
[11:20] <phlak_user> thethh: also depends on your CPU etc
[11:20] <Jordan_U> VEndix: You seem to have done everything correctly. I don't know what's wrong.
[11:20] <thethh> Gentoo64, im scrolling trhough man page but i dont understand how to fix this :S
[11:20] <Gentoo64> phlak_user: cpu wont affect quality
[11:21] <thethh> phlak_user, my cpu is powerful
[11:21] <Gentoo64> thethh: i havent used it in a while i think its sameq
[11:21] <VEndix> Jordan_U: i log into the GNOME enviroment, and the screen doesn't load
[11:21] <phlak_user> Gentoo64: well on my eeepc it doesnt convert at all :)
[11:21] <Gentoo64> doubt its the cpu
[11:21] <Starminn>  I am installing ubuntu-restricted-extras (apparently this wasn't done on the install of 11.10 despite my checking it?) and it says "libavutils" must be removed for this installation. Is this okay?
[11:22] <phlak_user> Gentoo64: in fact it throws up a message saying "Your CPU is too slow"
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> sharpshooter: http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-files/129678-space_sunrise_1.1_all.deb   is a grep plymouth splash
[11:22] <thethh> hmm it seems like ffmpeg is using mp2 and mpeg4 as formats
[11:22] <yacoov> shalom
[11:22] <sharpshooter> ActionParsnip, thankx
[11:23] <kermit_> hiho
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> sharpshooter: looks like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaSg2rRj4HQ
[11:23] <AFD> I'm trying to unrar an archive and both Terminal and the Archive Manager don't seem to manage it. I'm 99% certain that the archive is not corrupted. Any ideas?
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> AFD: install unp and you can run:   unp filename.rar
[11:24] <AFD> ActionParsnip: Thanks I'll give it a whirl
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> AFD: there is also:  rar r file  to attempt a repair
[11:24] <yacoov> n
[11:24] <Dmole> will crypttab run before fstab, or can I interleave them?
[11:25] <sharpshooter> ActionParsnip, cool man ..its a nice one
[11:25] <AFD> ActionParsnip: sweet! thank you
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> AFD: man rar    works great ;)
[11:25] <ulrich> Hi.Has anyone entered the room who can give me a bit of troubleshooting help on unity? The dash window keeps constantly popping up in oneiric.
[11:25] <spazmi> I am still getting this error message:
[11:25] <spazmi> locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
[11:25] <spazmi> locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
[11:25] <kone> hello! I have a question about dvb-daemon and totem. How do you configure dvb-daemon to work with totem?
[11:25] <AFD> ActionParsnip: DOH! I'm a relative n00b and always forgetting about the manpages...
[11:26] <Gentoo64> AFD: --help is good for a list of commands
[11:27] <Gentoo64> sometimes easier than reading the man
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> spazmi: are you from USA?
[11:27] <AFD> Gentoo64: thanks for the tip
[11:27] <spazmi> ActionParsnip: nope, sweden
[11:27] <Dmole> spazmi: if you have an unmounted home dir (encrypted) it might not be able to find the file with your settings
[11:27] <Dmole> just a guess
[11:27] <villa> phlak_user, Unable to canonicalise path. what's the problem. I have tried before you told me that
[11:28] <spazmi> Dmole: I don't :)
[11:28] <dc5ala> ulrich, is your "windows"-key stuck?
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> spazmi: ok run:  export LC_ALL="en_US"     change en_US to whatever yours is
[11:28] <ulrich> cdSala: Hey, thanks for the response.
[11:28] <keithb> The unity dash has an applications button, I deleted it while playing and can't find any way to get it back, any ideas?
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> spazmi: also may help http://fatvegan.com/2008/08/14/cannot-set-lc_ctype/
[11:28] <cba123> I'm just having 2 minor issues with Unity.  One is that I can't seem to get "Scale" to activate when I middle click.  The second is I'd like to add bookmarks to my Unity bar or my panel, but I can't seem to do that.  Anyone know how to do that?
[11:29] <bnv> hi
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> spazmi: or http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/locale-cannot-set-lc_all-to-default-locale-no-such-file-or-directory-218622/
[11:30] <spazmi> ActionParsnip: export LC_ALL="sv_SE"
[11:30] <spazmi> bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (sv_SE)
[11:30] <ulrich> dcSala: Yes the problem comes also with some stuck modifier keys. (I sometimes get alternate keyboard layout without holding down one of the alt-keys) But the main reason seems to be totem. As long as totem is running, the dash keeps coming up and closing again every 30 seconds without me even touching keyboard or mouse
[11:30] <Starminn>  I am installing ubuntu-restricted-extras (apparently this wasn't done on the install of 11.10 despite my checking it?) and it says "libavcodec53 and libavutil51" must be removed for this installation. Is this okay?
[11:30] <ubuntu_> hey i´ve  Problem. Ubuntu 11.10 is not starting. after the line *Checking battery state.... he is stopping start up.
[11:31] <om26er> Starminn, that should not be a problem
[11:31] <om26er> I believe
[11:31] <Starminn> om26er, Okay, thank you -- just making sure. :)
[11:31] <dc5ala> ulrich, umm no idea, sorry
[11:31] <llutz> spazmi: update-locale LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=POSIX          (besides that, its a warning you get, not an error to worry about)
[11:31] <bnv> Are there anyone who uses a dual monitor setup with ati radeon HD5770 under 11.10?
[11:32] <flodin> after installing oneiric, why is every package listed twice in aptitude?
[11:32] <Duelisti> How do install themeselector for Ubuntu 11.10, Gnome Shell?
[11:33] <spazmi> llutz: still getting the error, when running that command
