[19:35] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: yw, oes it work?
[19:35] <cgfree> hey can anyone provide assistance with an issue on Ubuntu Studio 11.10 with MSI Wind u100 netbook? <The error is that my audio-jack input doesnt fully function under linux, but on windows its fine. It seems when its fully inserted there's no output - but on half-insert i get output minus some treble/bass>
[19:36] <cgfree> happy new year to everyone!
[19:36] <Agamemnus> maybe i should just install ubuntu on a vm
[19:36] <psychoticmeow> Yeah, you where right, after adjusting the virtual display size, everything started working
[19:36] <AceKing> owenll, I tried that already. As a matter of fact, I even completely uninstalled it and reinstalled it. It's still doing the same thing. It's driving me crazy!
[19:36] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: good ;)
[19:37] <cgfree> hey can anyone provide assistance with an issue on Ubuntu Studio 11.10 with MSI Wind u100 netbook? <The error is that my audio-jack input doesnt fully function under linux, but on windows its fine. It seems when its fully inserted there's no output - but on half-insert i get output minus some treble/bass>
[19:37] <psychoticmeow> Just have the video issue mentioned above now :(
[19:37] <owenll> AceKing: The other suggestion is to do apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and restart
[19:37] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: eww X is crashing? is there anything in dmesg or your xorg log?
[19:37] <AceKing> owenll, I will try that. Thank you!
[19:38] <Agamemnus> Hey DrPenguin, I managed to compile my program. What was missing is that I needed to do "sudo getlibs" (gets 32-bit versions) instead of "sudo apt-get"
[19:38] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, I'll crash it now and take a look :)
[19:38] <pegler> hi all.  I am looking to setup monitoring of processes as well as the output from some shell scripts that will tell me if things are acting up on my server.  Is there a good monitoring program for ubuntu that will check these sorts of things?  process memory/cpu, and if the output from a script meets certain requirements (>100, for example)
[19:38] <astartoth> hi all, how can I see my boot messages on tty1 rather than on tty7?
[19:38] <xrandr> i am running ubuntu 11.10, and samba 3.5.11.  Using nautilus, I created a share. When I go on a windows box, I can see the share, but I can't access it. I have guest access checked in the folder properties. Any ideas?
[19:39] <DrPenguin> Agamemnus: ah, I have no idea what getlibs is but im glad you have it working
[19:39] <DrPenguin> astartoth: your boot messages arent on tty7
[19:39] <Agamemnus> It's just the same as apt-get but it downloads 32-bit versions, as far as I understand.
[19:39] <DrPenguin> Agamemnus: thats fancy schmancy
[19:39] <astartoth> DrPenguin: they are
[19:40] <DrPenguin> astartoth: they wouldnt be.. when you boot your on tty1 by default.. X starts on tty7
[19:40] <Agamemnus> there are some minor syntax differences though
[19:40] <AceKing> owenll, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[19:40] <astartoth> that is what I want.
[19:40] <Agamemnus> or major
[19:40] <DrPenguin> astartoth: dude thats what it IS
[19:40] <tazthespaz> Hey, how do I find out what partition my bootloader is installed on. I would like to install burg and I need to know
[19:40] <magicJ> I want to make an"internet accessible" printer so that I can print to it over the net - BUT I do not want to make this available to the WORLD - how do I make it accessible but limited?
[19:40] <DrPenguin> Agamemnus: syntax differences? what is this anyway? is this BASIC?
[19:41] <hasek79> is there a webcam driver somewhere or plugin that i can get to make a ps3 eye work?
[19:41] <astartoth> DrPenguin: When I boot, I'm unable to see what services are starting, etc. I get back to tty 1, but it's clean! I can't page-up to see if any services failed. It's output it's on tty7, but lightdm starts there so I cannot see the output. Everytime I press Ctrl+Alt+F7, I'm back to xorg.
[19:42] <dr_willis> magicJ:  the google chrome browser has such a feature i belive.. but that may be for printing from other browsers only.
[19:42] <DrPenguin> astartoth: there are NO messages on tty7
[19:42] <astartoth> Dr, you're wrong.
[19:42] <astartoth> http://askubuntu.com/questions/27885/why-is-the-default-virtual-terminal-number-7
[19:42] <magicJ> dr_willis:  I am not looking for this as a browser option - but a general print option
[19:42] <astartoth> I just want to change that.
[19:42] <dr_willis> magicJ:  ive seen other web-printer services - but never tried any.  Not sure about rolling your own. other then some how use dyndns with it.
[19:42] <psychoticmeow> Here's the output from dmesg and the xorg log: http://pastie.org/3108333
[19:43] <dr_willis> magicJ:  its posible the chrome thing works with other apps. i only tried it from my cellphone
[19:43] <DrPenguin> astartoth: no sorry.. your wrong.. im not gona argue with you as such you dont understand this stuff
[19:43] <magicJ> there must be a way to lmit it rather than all or noting which is what I seem to have right now
[19:44] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: your dmesg is… very small
[19:44] <psychoticmeow> Ahh, yeah, sec
[19:44] <xrandr> any ideas?
[19:44] <delinquentme> hey all I've got a PDf that I'd like to remove 1 page off of .. thoughts on a simple tool for ubuntu to do this?
[19:45] <mumbles__> anyone know how i remove the hardware support. i installed my graphics card driver and now m ubuntu install wont boot up
[19:45] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, http://pastie.org/3108352
[19:46] <StevenR> delinquentme: open the PDF, print the pages you need straight to PDF (via the regular print dialog)... there are also commandline tools if you need to automate it for lots of PDFs
[19:46] <hasek79> is there a web cam driver that i need to get for a ps3 web cam
[19:46] <delinquentme> StevenR, that is PHENOMENAL
[19:46] <delinquentme> you WIN
[19:47] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: can you do this for me? I want the "diff" of a xorg log from a crashed X to a non crashed X. do you know how to use diff?
[19:47] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, sec
[19:48] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, it's all timestamped, how's that going to work?
[19:48] <psychoticmeow> I can cut out the timestamps if you want.
[19:48] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: ehh.. just paste a good xorg.0.log then. I just wanna make sure that Stacktrace is not in a good X log
[19:49] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, this is the log for the current session: http://pastie.org/3108367
[19:50] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: ok good.. so we can see that the stack trace is indeed a dump from you running a video in totem
[19:50] <psychoticmeow> Yep
[19:51] <aBound> Hey guys is there a known tool for the terminal. Where I can save known configuration files and not have to repeatedly type the <command>/<filename> to edit it or get to it?
[19:51] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: unfortunately, X stack traces are a wee bit unclear to me.. but id bet this would be a known bug. try googling around for totem and fglrx
[19:51] <DrPenguin> aBound: … wha? lol
[19:52] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, same bug occurs with Banshee
[19:52] <psychoticmeow> But I'll try and find out more
[19:52] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: oh wow really? crap! what is the video container?
[19:52] <aBound> DrPenguin, lol Figured it might confused somebody.
[19:53] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, of the actual file?
[19:53] <vipin> can anyone help me to config OSS with pulseaudio in ubuntu
[19:53] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: yeah.. like is it mpeg, h264, etc etc
[19:53] <aBound> DrPenguin, Such as for example, always repetivtively typing: nano .vimrc or cd /usr/lib/pidgin I want to be able to save these files and/or directories without having to retype them in the terminal. Sound easier to digest? lol
[19:54] <DrPenguin> aBound: you could make aliases in your .bashrc
[19:54] <owenll> aBound: create an alias? alias custom_command='original_command' - is this what you're after? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1653127
[19:54] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, Matroska with H264 codec
[19:54] <FBR02> howdy im looking for some help with some wireless issues under 10.04
[19:55] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: try to find some other video container type, make sure its only particular codecs that crash the Server
[19:55] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, also fails for .ts files
[19:55] <DrPenguin> I have no idea what a .ts file is
[19:55] <aBound> DrPenguin, owenll: No easier way than an alias eh. It'd be nice if I can keep those files/directories and view them/edit them from a gui standpoint.
[19:55] <psychoticmeow> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG_transport_stream
[19:56] <DrPenguin> aBound: what? your explanation still is kind of weird dude.. whats wrong with an alias?
[19:56] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: ah ok.. well yeah try something like an avi
[19:56] <aBound> DrPenguin, Because I'd have to create more than one dozen aliases.
[19:56] <aBound> :P
[19:56] <DrPenguin> aBound: then this is what I think you can do and it will be cool
[19:57] <DrPenguin> aBound: write a script that can accept, list, and execute the stuff you want and store them in some flat file like XML or just straight text
[19:57] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, .avi with XVID MPEG-4 codec
[19:57] <Zippa> Hi
[19:57] <psychoticmeow> I don't think it matters :S
[19:57] <FBR02> howdy im looking for some help with some wireless issues under 10.04 any takers?
[19:57] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: I wonder if whats happening is is that maybe your missing some extension so the video is rendered in software and not hardware and that nukes X..
[19:58] <DrPenguin> !ask | FBR02
[19:58] <psychoticmeow> Probably, yeah
[19:58] <aBound> DrPenguin, I'm sure you used Windows before and never had to search say this file ~/.config/lib/test just as a example through a terminal and had to keeping typing aliases just to get to it. Whereas a gui would make the process easier to find.
[19:59] <DrPenguin> aBound: … im still confused as to what your trying to do
[19:59] <anna> hey guys.  I'm on my wife's account.  Can I move her home folder to a separate partition and leave mine alone?
[19:59] <DrPenguin> it just sounds like you want to make some easy way to execute an oftenly used command
[19:59] <mongy> aBound, find ~ -iname "config"
[19:59] <Guest95938> hey guys.  I'm on my wife's account.  Can I move her home folder to a separate partition and leave mine alone?
[19:59] <aBound> I want to easily get to files/directories without the hassle or retyping commands/aliases. ha
[20:00] <DrPenguin> Guest95938: I cant see why not.. you could just symlink it back to /home
[20:00] <FBR02> I have a router that uses a "security button" so that when clicking connect under windoz it pops up a window asking for a wep key OR press the button on the router, under windoz this works fine but ubuntu 10.04 seems to not have a  "security button" option
[20:00] <DrPenguin> aBound: then use a File Manager?
[20:00] <Guest95938> DrPenguin, symlink? can you explain plx?
[20:00] <DrPenguin> Guest95938: a symlink is basically an alias or shortcut
[20:01] <DrPenguin> FBR02: your trying to use whatever that WPS or whatever security link thing is?
[20:01] <FBR02> Dr yes
[20:01] <aBound> DrPenguin, The problem is I can't seemed to save known files/directories so I can easily get to them. Either than that some files have ~/.config in them and they're hard to find from a file manager.
[20:01] <DrPenguin> FBR02: no idea, Ive never used that
[20:01] <mumbles__> ack. why would a once working install stop at stopping save kernal messages after installing a graphics driver?
[20:01] <aBound> DrPenguin, I'm sure I'm giving you a headache haha.
[20:01] <Guest95938> DrPenguin, I could link it, but I want it to be smooth and idiot-proof.  Is this the same as "create link" in any directory, or is symlink different?
[20:01] <FBR02> Dr- Me either, im in afghanistan and dont really have a choice
[20:02] <DrPenguin> aBound: yeah you kind of are.. because you really dont make sense.. if you want to "favorite" a commonly used action, then alias it
[20:02] <dr_willis> the gnome file manager has a bookmark feature also.
[20:03] <aBound> mongy, Doubt that's going to help me but thanks.
[20:04] <savid> Oneiric has packages for nodejs and npm, but doesn't create any users for installing npm packages.  You get errors when trying to install npm packages as root.  What's the recommended way to do this?
[20:04] <aBound> :P
[20:04] <dr_willis> !info npm
[20:04] <dr_willis> !info nodejs
[20:05] <HardP> !@#$!#%^&%*^(&)
[20:05] <HardP> ah :)
[20:05] <dr_willis> never heard of either one. :)
[20:05] <juan_> hello¡
[20:05] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, apparently the fix is: "Please use gl, gl2 or vaapi video output."
[20:05] <psychoticmeow> Whatever that is
[20:06] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: those are different extensions that will allow you to leverage hardware acceleration, I believe vaapi is similar to vdapu
[20:06] <psychoticmeow> So whatever I'm using now is probably causing the crash
[20:07] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: yeah, most likely its not leveraging hardware
[20:07] <pie_> so, yesterday night i wasnt paying attention and i accidentally mv'd all my jpg-s into one folder...now i have 8k pics to go through...do you guys know any programs tat might be something like this?: it displays a preview or displays the whole pic and asks what folder to place it in?
[20:09] <Guest95938> DrPenguin, if i make symlinks in the home directory, will opening the home directory (on another partition) work like opening a real home folder on my main partition?
[20:10] <DrPenguin> Guest95938: thats basically the idea.. tahts what I do on my work pc, I made dedicated partitions for my working svn directories and I symlink them into my ~
[20:10] <aBound> Good thing for geany ide. :)
[20:10] <Guest95938> DrPenguin, is that basically "create link" in the context menu?
[20:10] <DrPenguin> Guest95938: dunno, I dont use guis.. I use terminal
[20:11] <Guest95938> XD DrPenguin ok, I'm interested.  what's a template for this terminal command
[20:11] <barnex> open your terminal and type "man ln"
[20:12] <DrPenguin> ln -s /path/to/item/to/link /path/to/where/it/goes
[20:12] <DrPenguin> RTFM!
[20:12] <MonkeyDust> a manual is often very technical and unreadable, it's there's a support like this one
[20:13] <MonkeyDust> it's good*
[20:13] <DrPenguin> MonkeyDust: the man pages are very clear
[20:13] <MonkeyDust> DrPenguin  they are completen, but not always clear
[20:13] <DrPenguin> MonkeyDust: id disagree with you 100% there..
[20:14] <MonkeyDust> ok
[20:14] <guntbert> !rtfm | DrPenguin
[20:14] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, not sure what to do now, is it possible to enable vaapi system wide? This is the output of vainfo: http://pastie.org/3108500
[20:15] <DrPenguin> guntbert: ignoring you, kthx, rtfm is a term that is very appropriate for this situation and is welcome in all geek and linux circles..
[20:15] <DexterF> hey
[20:15] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: most likely its an extension that needs to be enabled in the X server by adding it to your xorg.conf
[20:15] <guntbert> DrPenguin: not welcome here - you can ignore me all you like of course
[20:16] <DexterF> all my browsers won't use java anymore - sun java plugin is installed tho.
[20:16] <DrPenguin> guntbert: dont care
[20:16] <DexterF> pointers how to diagnose?
[20:16] <DrPenguin> DexterF: dont use java "anymore" that implies they did at one point.. what happened when they stopped?
[20:16] <DexterF> DrPenguin: if only I knew. basically the regular updates. no fancy backports or such.
[20:17] <BluesKaj> DrPenguin, you may consider running linux as a geek exercise , but you're left behind in the dust now , if you think that
[20:17] <DrPenguin> DexterF: then I think it would be worthwhile to see if however you updated, if it keeps a log, and review the log and see what changed
[20:18] <DrPenguin> BluesKaj: 	you too now? Seriously, I am not gonna be chastised because I dont "baby" people
[20:18] <BluesKaj> nope DrPenguin , we're not all geeks here
[20:19] <DrPenguin> BluesKaj: doesnt mean people should be "babied" and hand held
[20:19] <MonkeyDust> guys!
[20:19] <DexterF> DrPenguin: aptitude. nothing fancy. ill reinstall the plugin package and see what happens
[20:19] <BluesKaj> DrPenguin, I never said that
[20:19] <nomike> hi
[20:19] <aBound> Oh boy.
[20:20] <aBound> hi nomike
[20:20] <iToast> asmcoder8...
[20:20] <nomike> I want to report a bug against some unknown ubuntu package (the message displaying that my laptop battery is empty is confusing)....
[20:21] <DrPenguin> DexterF: im not quite sure if aptitude logs stuff.. but yeah thts worth a shot, its also worth maybe reinstalling your browser(s)
[20:21] <nomike> So I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs which tells me to run "ubuntu-bug" and select "other problem"
[20:22] <MonkeyDust> !acpi> MonkeyDust
[20:22] <balazs> hi. I'm connecting my 50" HDTV with HDMI to my laptop, but it gets recognized as a 51" one. How can I fix that ?
[20:22] <aBound> DrPenguin, Yeah bookmarking might be my best bet for a file manager point of view.
[20:22] <DrPenguin> balazs: is that causing you a problem?
[20:23] <DrPenguin> aBound: dr_willis gave you that hint but Ill take the credit ^^
[20:23] <aBound> HA!
[20:23] <aBound> Thanks to dr_willis and DrPenguin
[20:23] <aBound> lol
[20:23] <balazs> DrPenguin: yes. Whatever should be displayed at the very edge of the screen is not visible on the TV
[20:24] <aBound> Cause that terminal stuff can be a hassle at times. I'm sure a shell script can be written to what I wanna do but oh well.
[20:24] <DrPenguin> balazs: have you tried just adjusting the resolution?
[20:24] <DrPenguin> aBound: the terminal is usually better off in the end. anyone using linux should be comfortable with it
[20:25] <aBound> DrPenguin, I always hear that but at times I think you need both. :P
[20:25] <DrPenguin> aBound: Oh I dont disagree there, at times I find the gui to be "easier"
[20:25] <aBound> Unless, you're completely fluent in terminal speak.
[20:25] <DrPenguin> aBound:  I have the terminal-fu (HI YA)
[20:25] <pleasehelpme> Hello all.  I was wondering if I could get some assistance.  I am trying to connect a drive to my brand brand new ubuntu machine.  I am connecting via USB through a vantec drive dock.  the drive is out of a nas, and I am trying to get files off of one of the three partitions on the drive.  The drive was in a linksys nas200 which has died (the box itself).  When I connect the drive via usb, nothing shows up on the desktop.  Anyu point
[20:25] <pleasehelpme> ers?
[20:26] <nomike> And when I click on "OK" after selecting "Other problem" I get the error message "You need to specify the
[20:26] <nomike> oops
[20:26] <coolstar-pc> DrPenguin: GUI is usually better for multitasking
[20:26] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: is the disk even seen? do sudo fdisk -l and pastebin the output
[20:26] <mumbles__> ack. why would a once working install stop at stopping save kernal messages after installing a graphics driver?
[20:26] <pleasehelpme> ok brb
[20:26] <DrPenguin> coolstar-pc: 	thats what multiple terminal tabs / windows are for ^^
[20:27] <nomike> "You need to specify a package or a PID. See --help for more information"
[20:27] <aBound> DrPenguin, terminal-fu?
[20:27] <coolstar-pc> coolstar-pc: Then you're using a terminal on top of a GUI which means you need a GUI
[20:27]  * coolstar-pc thinks this terminal vs. GUI war should be in #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:27] <DrPenguin> aBound: something-fu usually means you are well versed in whatever is pre fu
[20:27] <MonkeyDust> pleasehelpme  you can pastebin the output by typing fdisk -l|pastebinit, you may have to install pastebinit, first
[20:28] <aBound> DrPenguin, HA!  :P But I think I understand.
[20:28] <pleasehelpme> oh
[20:28] <pleasehelpme> i'm a comp[lete linux newb
[20:28] <pleasehelpme> exactly 10 minutes so far
[20:28] <balazs> DrPenguin: I have it at 1280x720, so 16x9 ratio. The other options are a higher resolution 16:9, but that doesn't work at all, and 4:3, like 800x600. The latter works, but because of the aspect ratio it looks bad
[20:28] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: man! you are FRESH off the bus
[20:28] <aBound> HA!
[20:29] <pleasehelpme> lol
[20:29] <DrPenguin> balazs: hmm.. what video card do you have / driver?
[20:29] <aBound> 10 mins interesting.
[20:29] <pleasehelpme> i have a long background in windows and mac
[20:29] <pleasehelpme> this is new top me
[20:29] <pleasehelpme> when I enter fdisk -l in termiunal it just returns the prompt
[20:29] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: type: sudo !!
[20:29] <pleasehelpme> do i need to sudo?
[20:30] <balazs> DrPenguin: how do I check that ? I have an HP Pavilon g6
[20:30] <DrPenguin> yes you do
[20:30] <pleasehelpme> lol
[20:30] <pleasehelpme> thanks
[20:30] <DrPenguin> balazs: lspci -vv | grep VGA should do the trick
[20:30] <aBound> Fresh off the old bus.
[20:30] <pleasehelpme> ok so now i have output... I can't just paste it in this window?
[20:31] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: thats not advisable
[20:31] <MonkeyDust> pleasehelpme  the url, yes
[20:31] <DrPenguin> MonkeyDust: I dont think he did the url, I think he means the literal output
[20:31] <anddam> can anyone help me with edubuntu? I'm trying to allow an user to install software without providing other rights, like in http://askubuntu.com/a/78806
[20:31] <pleasehelpme> ii don'y have this pastebin thing
[20:31] <pleasehelpme> I dont
[20:31] <mebigfatguy> heh
[20:31] <mebigfatguy> don't have the internet?
[20:31] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: either sudo apt-get install pastebinit or paste the output on www.pastebin.com and give us the URL
[20:32] <MonkeyDust> pleasehelpme  type sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit, you'll get an url, paste that here
[20:32] <pleasehelpme> sorry I am such a newb
[20:32] <DJones> !paste | pleasehelpme Copy and paste the output of the command into the pastebin and then give us the link that pastebin gives you
[20:32] <anddam> I've put  https://gist.github.com/d6521462418e76545021 in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/10-allow-users-to-install.pkla

[20:34] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, apparently the missing thing is: gstreamer-vaapi
[20:34] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: aha! a gstreamer codec that will leverage vaapi
[20:34] <pleasehelpme> ok, i have installed the pastebin thing via terminal... I will have to figure out how to post it, please bare with me\
[20:34] <psychoticmeow> DrPenguin, not part of Ubuntu it seems
[20:34] <DHR> In Oneiric AMD64, pressing the hardware power button doesn't evoke any action from LightDM.  Contrast that with Unity: once logged in, the pressing power button causes a "shutdown this system now?" box to pop up.  How can I get LightDM to do the same?  What controls this?
[20:35] <DrPenguin> psychoticmeow: you can probably just go out, dl the source or whatever, and build / install it
[20:36] <munzxttt> hi .... how can i remove kde 'kubuntu' screen when booting or shutting down!? i am running ubuntu 11.02 upgraded from 11.04 and i had kde installed!

[20:36] <DrPenguin> munzxttt: thats probably something associated with plymouth
[20:36] <pleasehelpme> I think i have it posted
[20:36] <barberan> munzxttt, I'm afraid the best way is to reinstall the system
[20:37] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: ok.. so if im guessing right, the /dev/sdb drives should be the NAS drive your talking about
[20:37] <munzxttt> DrPenguin : what is plymouth!???
[20:37] <DrPenguin> !plymouth | munzxttt
[20:37] <pleasehelpme> I have to say, this community support is wicked!  Ya it's the 750gb drive
[20:38] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: now.. unfortunately I see ifs a RAID drive.. and i do not know how to mount those, if anyhting special is involved
[20:38] <pleasehelpme> it isd one drive out of a raid
[20:39] <pleasehelpme> i was told I could just hook it up and mounti it... the file on it belongs to a navy heritage museum
[20:39] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: naively, yous hould be able to create a directory to mount it too, and maybe just do a mount..
[20:39] <pleasehelpme> they have been cataloging thier collection for 5 years and paid someone t250,000 to do it
[20:40] <pleasehelpme> the raid wa thier backup
[20:40] <mumbles__> wooo.
[20:40] <Agamemnus> Hey guys, question...
[20:40] <mumbles__> this virson of ubuntu dosent like my  grpahics card
[20:40] <DrPenguin> Agamemnus: NO MORE QUESTIONS FROM YOU! jk whats up
[20:40] <Agamemnus> So I was trying to run my program on CentOS, but I think they don't have the right lib so it won't work. I get this error:
[20:40] <balazs> DrPenguin: kernel driver in use: radeon
[20:40] <Agamemnus> "error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[20:40] <pleasehelpme> so, if i understand right it is seeing the drive and the partitions, just not mounting them
[20:40] <mebigfatguy> mumbles__, did you try adding nomodeset to your startup in grub?
[20:41] <DrPenguin> balazs: ok.. im not familiar with radeon..
[20:41] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: yeah
[20:41] <Agamemnus> So I would have to install it on the target system?
[20:41] <DrPenguin> Agamemnus: type ldd whateverYourExecuting
[20:41] <munzxttt> DrPenguin : yes! ... it says that true!! ... i get kubuntu logo ... how can i change it back to the defult!? and how can i remove everything back to a clean ubuntu 11.10?! plz!!!
[20:41] <Agamemnus> Is there a way to make it work without installing it?
[20:41] <mumbles__> mebigfatguy, not yet, just did an upgrade
[20:41] <DrPenguin> Agamemnus: if it needs the library than no
[20:41] <pleasehelpme> DrPenguin: are you on for a bit?"
[20:41] <Agamemnus> ah, so those are all the dependencies
[20:42] <DrPenguin> munzxttt: look into plymouth to change it
[20:42] <Agamemnus> Is there some way to package all the dependencies in one megafile?
[20:42] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: I should be.. unless im kicked out of here :P
[20:42] <pleasehelpme> lol
[20:42] <pleasehelpme> ok, i am going to do some research
[20:42] <pleasehelpme> brb
[20:42] <DrPenguin> Agamemnus: thats generally not the idea
[20:43] <DrPenguin> Agamemnus: the target computer should be responsible for having the dependencies. YOUR responsibility is to properly and clearly list them
[20:43] <mkanyicy> munzxttt, on Terminal, try: 'sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth'
[20:43] <Agamemnus> It's good to know I can see the dependencies though
[20:45] <munzxttt> mkanyicy : i get the same screen that says ' /lib/plymouth/themes/kubuntu-logo/kubuntu-logo'
[20:45] <Agamemnus> One more question, DrPenguin. Please say yes...
[20:45] <DrPenguin> no!
[20:45] <Agamemnus> Are these libraries mostly cross-compatible between, say, Ubuntu and centos?
[20:46] <Agamemnus> (i had centos on a vm but it was reals tuff to work with...)
[20:46] <DrPenguin> Agamemnus: generally yes, ive never heard of a library being germaine to an OS.. most of these libs are standard
[20:46] <mkanyicy> munzxttt, on Terminal, try: 'sudo update-alternatives --config' and press TAB to see options with plymouth (or anything with splash)
[20:46] <Agamemnus> OK, thank you Doctor. That's a bit of a relief!
[20:46] <DrPenguin> the issue you COULD encounter would be if possibly a library is only on a certain architecture.. but now a days that shouldnt be all too common
[20:46] <Agamemnus> i see
[20:47] <DrPenguin> I was about to start talking about non x86 platforms and he leaves.. lame
[20:47] <gener1c> hey
[20:47] <gener1c> im using ubuntu 11.10
[20:48] <gener1c> and firefox 8 keeps of freezing and unfreezing randomly
[20:48] <gener1c>  anybody else experienced this?
[20:48] <DrPenguin> gener1c: it seems like many people are seeing this with ff8 or ff9
[20:48] <munzxttt> mkanyicy : i found the default folder under '/lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo'but how can i change the current values back to the default!?
[20:49] <gener1c> DrPenguin: any ideas on how to solve it?
[20:49] <DrPenguin> gener1c: use a better browser! :P i dunno I dont use ubuntu or firefox
[20:49] <mkanyicy> munzxttt, i only have one so i cant confirm on my machine,
[20:50] <coolstar-pc> gener1c: Upgrade to firefox 9
[20:50] <mkanyicy> munzxttt, you have to write that command and stop at --config
[20:50] <savid> What's a good way to search for packages and show what apt repository they're coming from?
[20:50] <mkanyicy> munzxttt, and press TAB and say yes to see available options
[20:50] <DrPenguin> savid: you can get info about a particular package from apt, and it will tell you where it comes from. it all comes from the control file
[20:50] <pippo> ciao
[20:51] <savid> DrPenguin,  apt-get?  Not sure which apt cmd will do that for me
[20:51] <mkanyicy> munzxttt, you should see something like 'plymouth', 'default.plymouth', 'text.plymouth' etc
[20:51] <DrPenguin> savid: I think its apt-get info? im not sure, check out the manpage
[20:52] <mkanyicy> munzxttt,  then 'sudo update-alternatives --config plymouth'
[20:52] <glebihan> savid, to search use "apt-cache search packagename"
[20:53] <DrPenguin> glebihan: that wont get him the meta info of the package though
[20:53] <savid> Oh, it's apt-cache showpkg :)
[20:53] <glebihan> savid, "apt-cache policy packagename" can also be useful
[20:54] <Rewt`> so, would the powers that be sue for ubuntu logo infringement?
[20:54] <DrPenguin> Rewt`: do wha now?
[20:54] <Rewt`> I saw this on the side of a meat wagon today: http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/p480x480/378966_2990380882538_1352587818_33128580_1768626519_n.jpg

[20:57] <mumbles__> i can drop into tty sessions
[20:57] <giiker> looking for a LAN messenger, or service?
[20:58] <pleasehelpme> DrPenguin: Still around?
[20:58] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: nope
[20:58] <pleasehelpme> lol
[20:59] <pleasehelpme> ok, but I'm going to pretend you are
[20:59] <pleasehelpme> so i found this http://paste.ubuntu.com/789915/
[20:59] <mumbles__> !pastbin
[20:59] <mumbles__> ack.
[21:00] <pleasehelpme> if you could help me translate it for my situation I would be forever grateful
[21:00] <spao> suck my cock.
[21:01] <urlin2u> op
[21:01] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: so it looks like whats happening is that it makes a device node for RAID discs and links it to whateve rthe kernel saw as your actual drive partition
[21:01] <urlin2u> !op
[21:02] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: then all you do is make a directory that the disk will mount to and mount the new device node since its now running through md and not as a raw disk
[21:02] <pleasehelpme> the issue for me is that I'm functionally retarded when it comes to linux, being an absolute newb
[21:03] <pleasehelpme> I can't figure out what to enter into terminal to get it to do that\
[21:03] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: well all you need to do is run those commands and you will be ble to access the drives
[21:03] <pleasehelpme> would you be willing to look at the two pastebins and give me a step by step?
[21:04] <pleasehelpme> but the sda things are different, no?
[21:04] <pleasehelpme> sorry to be a ppest
[21:05] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: ok, a little explanation. Linux lists drives either wiht an hd(lettter) or sd(letter) under /dev to indicate its block device identifier (dont worry about that). it used to be that hd WAS hard drive and sd WAs special device, but now hd is only seen usually for ATA drrives. your sda nodes are your main drive partitions, the sdb nodes are your external NAS's partitions
[21:06] <pleasehelpme> ok that makes sense
[21:06] <n1c0-Phone> Hi ! I'm a french user who has a problem with minecraft on ubuntu
[21:06] <DrPenguin> so, you want to run the mdadm mkdir and mount commands for sdb1 and sdb2, giving each one a different /mnt directory and issuing them a different /dev/md node
[21:06] <Guest16945> Having problem with sharing printer from ubuntu. Did it before with a canonprinter but with my new hp laserjet P1006 it doesnt work. Works perfect i Ubuntu but on XP machine it doesnt recognize the adress to printer. Dont remembering what queue name i can use if i just add a port in windows? Im really stuck and i really tried reading some howetos
[21:07] <n1c0-Phone> My minecraft is so laggy on linux but not on windows o_O
[21:07] <Resistance> n1c0-Phone:  so put more RAM to the java process
[21:07] <Resistance> n1c0-Phone:  by default i think it assigns about 100 meg to the process
[21:07] <tim167> hello, how can I _detect_ my keyobard layout after installing ubuntu? (i selected wrong one during installation, and I don't know which one it should be) thanks!
[21:07] <mumbles__> argh. cant reconfure my xorg
[21:07] <n1c0-Phone> Resistance: already put 2048 Meg
[21:07] <pleasehelpme> but there are three partitions on the drive? do i need to make a directory ofr each?
[21:07]  * tnk1 is away: Gone away for now
[21:08] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: just sdb1 and 2, sdb3 is a swap partition
[21:08] <n1c0-Phone> Resistance: -Xms1024 -Xmx2048
[21:08] <Resistance> tnk1:  please turn off away messages in channels, please.  its not smiled upon in the ubuntu channels.
[21:08] <DrPenguin> n1c0-Phone: could be your linux driver / X configuration
[21:08] <Resistance> n1c0-Phone:  i would keep both of those numbers equal btw...
[21:08] <Resistance> but DrPenguin does have a good point
[21:09] <DHR> does anyone know how the hardware power button is plumbed into Unity?  into LightDM?
[21:09] <n1c0-Phone> Mmh... How to fix it, so
[21:09] <mumbles__> right. this is starting to piss me off now
[21:09] <pleasehelpme> ok so let me try and figure it out, I'll put it in pastebin for you to check it
[21:09] <tim167> i would like to be able to choose keyboard layout by typing some keys, like the ubuntu install procedure offers, but how do I do that after installation ?
[21:10] <DrPenguin> tim167: theres a keyboard utility probably under preferences, you can set up to 4 keyboards to swap between
[21:10] <urlin2u> tim167, type keyboard in the dash
[21:10] <tim167> DrPenguin: yes I looked at that, but it doesn't allow me to detect the keyboard, only select from a list, and I don't know which one to take
[21:10] <n1c0-Phone> Resistance, DrPenguin ? Any ideas ? Do you want a paste of my errors when i launch it into a terminal ?
[21:11] <tim167> urlin2u: what's the Dash?
[21:11] <DrPenguin> n1c0-Phone: I dont know, it will depend on the driver your using and your card, theres probably extensions and options you can enable in the X config so that you leverage more of your card
[21:11] <Resistance> n1c0-Phone:  its partly dependent on your graphics card/driver, if you want to paste it, use a pastebin
[21:11] <urlin2u> tim167, if you have the unity desktop 11.10 it is the top button in the left panel
[21:12] <DrPenguin> the Arch wiki has GREAT documentation of setting up an appropriate xorg.conf for things like games
[21:12] <Guest16945> Having problem with sharing printer from ubuntu. Did it before with a canonprinter but with my new hp laserjet P1006 it doesnt work.

[21:13] <Guest16945> urlin2u: ur talking to me?
[21:13] <tim167> urlin2u: oh but do you also mean the keyboard preferences thing? as I said it has no "detect by keystrokes" function it seems...
[21:14] <gojol> hi guys, and happy new year
[21:14] <urlin2u> tim167, I saw the detect problem, I'm not sure there.
[21:14] <gojol> May i disturb you for a question that disturb me for a while but less than a problem ^^
[21:14] <urlin2u> guest16945: yes
[21:15] <urlin2u> frustrated, yes I was talking to you.
[21:15] <gojol> in my shell when i type for exemple $ df, I get the normal answer but the tabs are like never respected, same for other commands
[21:15] <gojol> does it normal or should i tune something ?
[21:15] <DrPenguin> gojol: the tabs are never expected.. whacha mean
[21:15] <tim167> urlin2u: ok thanks anyway... should be somewhere... it's there during installation, but i need to change kbd layout now and I don't know the name of it...not even sure what country it belongs to...so the only way for me would be this detect by pressing some keys option...
[21:17] <frustrated> urlin2u: perhaps yes. But im not really sure i got everything right in my linux system and i have no problem with other shared printservers on network to my winmachine so?! What queue is most likely being used when shared printer from ubuntu
[21:17] <pleasehelpme> DrPenguin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/789926/  Could you look at this?  If it is right I will just cut and paste in terminal
[21:17] <urlin2u> frustrated, I see, wish I new something. :D
[21:17] <Kir123> Socket-, probably you need to tune uid= gid= file_mode= dir_mode=  mount options
[21:17] <gojol> DrPenguin: well you say that normal so, no way to get result aligned from this kind of commands ^^ ?
[21:17] <frustrated> urlin2u: ok
[21:18] <DrPenguin> gojol: I didnt say it was normal, I asked for clarification
[21:18] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: you want to adjust that.. your linking 2 partitions to the same md node, you want to use 2 different nodes
[21:19] <pleasehelpme> ok so I have no idea wht that means
[21:19] <pleasehelpme> md node?
[21:19] <eightfold> hi, i'm looking for a netbook that works out of the box with latest ubuntu. hibernate/resume, wifi, camera, bluetooth, gpu etc
[21:19] <eightfold> recommendations?
[21:20] <gojol> DrPenguin: oh sorry so. I meant that I'm reading the "Linux Command Line" and in an exemple their result for the df command is a well organised answer, I mean, well aligned, and me it's not the case, "like if tabs" (I don't know if there are any tabs in there) were not align

[21:22] <pleasehelpme> DrP: so md is different...?  and I write each one with sudo at the beginning?
[21:22] <Flannel> stercor: #libreoffice or #openoffice.org
[21:23] <Flannel> DrPenguin: yes, but you could be helpful instead of rude.
[21:23] <DrPenguin> Flannel: how about you shut up? hows that for rude.. idiot
[21:23] <DrPenguin> pleasehelpme: yeah md1 and md2 are indepenent block devices

[21:24] <guntbert> stercor: #openoffice.org is the channel you want
[21:24] <pleasehelpme> it was so easy to instal,  and apart from the terminal, stuff it's super intuitive, and it's fast!
[21:25] <pleasehelpme> oh wait, so "sudo" before each line?
[21:26] <DrPenguin> yeah sudo
[21:26] <pleasehelpme> check

[21:27] <pleasehelpme> sudo: mdadm: command not found
[21:27] <pleasehelpme> :(

[21:30] <pleasehelpme> ok, that's just too cool
[21:30] <DrPenguin> in the future, you can "possibly" do apt-cache seach "search term" and you may luck out, or there is a web front end for searching the ubuntu repos, you can even search for what may be inside a pkg
[21:30] <guntbert> au7h3n71c: what is the purpose?

[21:41] <MonkeyDust> ah wifi
[21:42] <mumbles__> woo. non booting yet again .
[21:42] <mumbles__> feal the hate.
[21:42] <sedeki> iShaman, what?
[21:42] <iShaman> sedeki: a rootkit does that
[21:42] <sedeki> rootkits sounds scary
[21:43] <iShaman> basically means you were hacked
[21:43] <iShaman> in most cases that is
[21:43] <sedeki> Kir123, still there?
[21:43] <sedeki> iShaman, no offence
[21:43] <SilfenX> iShaman: a reboot of the server did not remedy the problem. I sill cant remove the directory and it still doesnt show any files inside it despite reporting it isnt empty :P
[21:44] <Xyzzy_> is alt+printscreen+r just by default aliased to a command line screen recorder?
[21:44] <Xyzzy_> that doesnt make sense because it has a gui
[21:44] <mongy> sedeki, my encrypted private folder says the same as my home partition, it's normal
[21:44] <_Marcus> Is it possible to access my screens from other SSH sessions? It seems I can't atm
[21:44] <ssta> _Marcus: Wuff Wuff is screen's default visual bell.  I have no idea why (probably someone has a sense of humour)
[21:44] <caffine> how do i find the /dev device to which a usb device has been bound? apparently, usbcore registered my device with snd-usb-audio, but i'm not sure where or how to find it to use on the command line with mplayer. i can see the video at /dev/video0 but don't know where to find the audio. here are the relevant entries from dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/789239/ here's lsusb:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/789240/ here's what i'm trying t
[21:45] <_Marcus> ssta: But can I access my screens from other SSH sessions?
[21:45] <sedeki> mongy, so how do i remove the encryption?
[21:45] <ssta> _Marcus: sure.  screen -rd
[21:45] <MonkeyDust> _Marcus  yes, i used to do it
[21:45] <Xyzzy_> caffine, try looking in /dev/disk/by-id/
[21:45] <_Marcus> It says "There is no screen to be deattached"
[21:46] <_Marcus> I still have my other screen open though
[21:46] <SilfenX> just had server crash while updating id3 tags on a number of files in a directory. Now the directory is inaccessible, or rather it s content I should say. It is also not possible to delete the directory itself, system reporting 'Directory not empty.'. I can not see any files with  the ls command.
[21:46] <mongy> sedeki,  it's not using any more space
[21:46] <ssta> _Marcus: screen -list shows the screens
[21:46] <ninjah> Does anyone know how to use upstart and initctl? I placed a job in /etc/initctl but it doesn't know about my new job
[21:46] <Xyzzy_> SilfenX, when you run ifconfig|grep inet, whats the output
[21:46] <_Marcus> ssta: it says "No Sockets found in /var/run/screen/S-marcus"
[21:47] <iShaman> SilfenX: I think you should try to
[21:47] <sedeki> mongy, the hdd works visibly much slower in my home dir
[21:47] <iShaman> kill -9 *
[21:47] <ssta> _Marcus: well, you have no screens running as marcus then
[21:47] <iShaman> it should flus it completely
[21:47] <mongy> sedeki, because it is encrypted.
[21:47] <sedeki> SO, HOW, do i remove the encryption
[21:47] <iShaman> sedeki: you kill the encryption process? kill -9 *
[21:48] <ssta> _Marcus: byobu makes running screen a bit easier (and prettier).  You might want to look at that.  Or have a read of: http://www.bangmoney.org/presentations/screen.html
[21:48]  * eigil
[21:48] <_Marcus> ssta: But I did "screen java " then stuff to start the jar, that should start the screen right?
[21:48] <sedeki> can someone ban iShaman ?
[21:48] <MonkeyDust> i use byobu, couldnt miss it anymore
[21:49] <caffine> Xyzzy_:  thanks! i don't see the device in there, though. the device isn't actually a disk. it's the audio device i want. i found /dev/v4l/by-* but it's not there either.
[21:49] <jj777> hola a todos
[21:49] <sedeki> iShaman is a troll
[21:49] <SilfenX> iShaman: I should try what? You never finished typing it looked like but maybe that was intentional
[21:49] <Xyzzy_> caffine: open ubuntu's active input dialog, alt+printscreen+k

[21:52] <Xyzzy_> idstat is completely nonharmful
[21:52] <TomSlominski> Xyzzy_, I've tried inetd mode as well, it won't start either.
[21:53] <Atomsk> TomSlominski, all I want is an account of the FTP with read+write- don't be rude! I'm trying to help!
[21:53] <Pricey> iceroot: Howdy. What's up?
[21:53] <TomSlominski> Atomsk: But the problem is that FTP won't start...
[21:53] <Atomsk> I suppose you could go try alt+printscreen+k, but I don't know if that will work in your case :/

[22:03] <iceroot> bjrohan_: offtopic here, sorry
[22:03] <Resistance> !pastebin | wai0004
[22:03] <_Marcus> I meant sceen, the command.
[22:04] <iceroot> _Marcus: then my command is the correct one for switching screens
[22:04] <MonkeyDust> _Marcus  don't forget to mention that you're on a mac, with different keybindings
[22:04] <mongy> _Marcus,  check out byobu v5, much nicer.
[22:04] <_Marcus> MonkeyDust: it shouldn't matter as long as I am not using the function keys
[22:04] <iceroot> _Marcus: you cant switch between two screenessions but you can switch inside one screen session the windows
[22:04] <iceroot> _Marcus: ctrl + a + c to open another window in your screen
[22:05] <ssta> _Marcus: use byobu.  It's the same, but easier and prettier
[22:05] <iceroot> _ctrl + a + n to switch between them
[22:05] <MonkeyDust> _Marcus  fair enough, but don't you think you should better ask in a mac support channel?
[22:05] <iceroot> MonkeyDust: that has nothing to do with mac
[22:05] <mongy> if you have more than one byobu session, there is a byobu-select-session command.
[22:06] <vouth> Hi, how can I install an OS to another partition without booting a live CD?
[22:06] <iceroot> MonkeyDust: even a mac has the keys "ctrl" "a" and "n"
[22:06] <_Marcus> MonkeyDust: They would redirect me here anyway, It's an Ubuntu machine I am accessing with SSH and it's a command bulit into Ubuntu
[22:06] <iceroot> !usb | vouth
[22:06] <iceroot> vouth: or pxe
[22:06] <ssta> mongy: it's basically screen behind.  You can use screen -list, and screen -r <PID>
[22:07] <_Marcus> iceroot: It just says "No other window"
[22:07] <iceroot> _Marcus: as i said, ctrl +a +c first to open another window
[22:07] <ssta> _Marcus: that's because you have two screen *sessionss, not two windows.  You'll need to detach from one and attach to the other
[22:08] <iceroot> _Marcus: and you cant switch between to different screen-sessions/commands
[22:08] <vouth> iceroot: I tried this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-from-usb-stick.html but I couldn't figure out how to make the BIOS boot to it. I tried a few from a selection of boot items such as "USB-FDD", "USB-CD", "USB-HDD", "USB-ZIP", but it wouldn't boot.

[22:09] <iceroot> vouth: that depends on your bios, often you can bring up a boot menu at start (read the messages at boot what to press) and select the drive there
[22:09] <_Marcus> iceroot: Gah, this is so annoying, is there a tutorial I can look at to learn how to use this thing?
[22:09] <iceroot> _Marcus: man screen  i guess

[22:11] <_Marcus> And may I ask, what is with all the spammers on this channel today?  How can I add this application to that list (the application is pymazon and for filetypes .amz)
[22:17] <Pricey> (sorry about that guys, wrong mode!)
[22:18] <vouth> OT: I don't even get what joy people get out of spamming.  Sorry :-(
[22:22] <greghaynes> I found some mimetype config files but not sure how to use these as they all reference .desktop files
[22:22] <greghaynes> vouth: no worries
[22:23] <vouth> greghaynes: maybe you could create a new launcher in the Debian menus and that would update the list of programs from which they can be selected? :-S Just an idea
[22:24] <Flannel> Just so everyone knows, we've set up temporary restrictions on unregistered users here.  They'll be forwarded to another channel and asked to prove their humanity/non-spambottiness before being allowed in.
[22:24] <tjiggi_fo> greghaynes, click the + at "Add Custom Command" and see if your binary is in that list
[22:24] <Flannel> While this is annoying, it should make this channel a bit more calm.  Thank you all for flying.  Have a nice day :)
[22:24] <greghaynes> tjiggi_fo: where is the "Add custom command" youre referring to? thanks
[22:25] <greghaynes> #ubuntu ops <3
[22:25] <tjiggi_fo> greghaynes, you have to click "Add" in the properties window first
[22:27] <greghaynes> So in properties -> open with I have to select an application to be able to press 'Add', when I select something and press Add it just adds that to the Default Applications list

[22:27] <astartoth> hi all, any way I can adopt the old behaviour and make boot up info show on tty1 instead of tty7?
[22:27] <SystemParadox> evening all. I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and libceguiogre-dev is gone (ogre has been upgraded from 1.6 to 1.7). What is the recommended way of fixing this? I have to make my own Ogre package or my own CEGUI package? Thanks.
[22:28] <coolstar-pc> EuroNerd: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[22:28] <auronandace> astartoth: old behaviour? i thought it was always shown on tty7
[22:28] <tjiggi_fo> greghaynes, click properties >> open with >> Add >> use custom command >> browse
[22:29] <astartoth> you might be right :-). I'm used to debian.
[22:29] <astartoth> anyway, how can I make messages show up in tty1?
[22:29] <EuroNerd> coolstar-pc, thank you.  I assume this will only add an alternative desktop at login time, but will not in any way modify the functionality of Ubuntu under Unity?  (I might choose to stay with Unity, so want to keep it healthy.)
[22:29] <bjrohan> MAJOR help needed! My internet connection SUCKS! When I first boot up I get about 7 Mbps per speedtest.net, after a few minutes, either wired, or wireless, it drops to 1 Mbps, unacceptable. Please help
[22:29] <greghaynes> tjiggi_fo: not sure how you found the use custom command, what do you have selected when you press 'add', by default for me that button is grayed out
[22:29] <vouth> iceroot: I don't know whether my last (very long) question got lost in the spam-shuffle or you just didn't have an answer, but here's a pared-down version of it: There was a thread online that implied that my BIOS brand doesn't have boot menus, and I don't know how to find one. Is there an alternative to PXE (which looks like it needs another machine) and USB (which I can't figure out how to boot? Thanks for your patience :-)
[22:29] <coolstar-pc> EueoNerd: It will only add an alternative desktop
[22:30] <EuroNerd> coolstar-pc, OK, thanks!
[22:30] <vouth> bjrohan: might that be a problem with your ISP (internet service provider)?
[22:30] <armorsmith42> Anyone ever have `dpkg --configure -a` cause their machine to shut down? I just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 and am tyring to fix the fact that my software index is broken.
[22:30] <tjiggi_fo> heh.. nothing selected. But I'm also on 10.04 so maybe different
[22:30] <vouth> bjrohan: Also, have you monitored network usage to see if there's something that you don't see eating up all your connection speed?
[22:30] <iceroot> vouth: cd is not an option?
[22:31] <greghaynes> tjiggi_fo: ah, thats probably it
[22:31] <bjrohan> I don't think so @vouth everything seems okay in  a windows machine
[22:31] <bjrohan> how do I do that vouth?
[22:31] <vouth> iceroot: Nope, sadly. I think I used them all up. :-P
[22:31] <iceroot> vouth: there was also a way from installing from harddisc
[22:32] <vouth> bjrohan: sudo aptitude install iftop
[22:32] <iceroot> vouth: http://blog.mypapit.net/2008/10/install-ubuntu-from-harddisk-without-cdrom.html
[22:32] <iceroot> vouth: maybe that is still working
[22:33] <vouth> bjrohan, and then run sudo iftop
[22:33] <vouth> bjrohan, that will show the connections that are open.
[22:33] <EuroNerd> coolstar-pc, during installation of kubuntu-desktop, the installer is asking me to choose the default display manager:  kdm or lightdm. Which should I choose?
[22:33] <Dominionized> kdm is more integrated into kde
[22:34] <coolstar-pc> EuroNerd: kdm is the kde desktop manager
[22:34] <Dominionized> so you can change themes directly in the system settings
[22:34] <bjrohan> ok, will do and report back in a bit
[22:34] <coolstar-pc> EuroNerd: Not sure about lightdm
[22:34] <Dominionized> I'd recommend KDM
[22:34] <coolstar-pc> !info lightdm | EuroNerd
[22:34] <coolstar-pc> !info kdm | EuroNerd
[22:34] <vouth> bjrohan, this talks about it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=965242
[22:34] <EuroNerd> ok, I picked kdm, thanks!
[22:35] <armorsmith42> Anyone know what things I might want to watch to figure out how dpkg is causing a shutdown?
[22:35] <iceroot> armorsmith42: what command you used? what output?
[22:36] <vouth> iceroot, that looks like just what the doctor ordered. I'll just be sure to back up my grub2 configuration first :-D Thanks!!
[22:36] <armorsmith42> dpkg --configure -a
[22:36] <iceroot> armorsmith42: any hints in /var/log/syslog" about the shutdown? is it a clean shutdown or instant power off?

[22:36] <bjrohan> vouth I have the program up and running what amI looking for?
[22:37] <atvr> hi i have an issue, i dont remember what was the command line to put into root shell to set nomodeset into grub, the one that always work not the one that work only once boot
[22:37] <atvr> one boot**
[22:37] <iceroot> jeeves_moss: "w"
[22:37] <iceroot> jeeves_moss: also "who" has some infos
[22:38] <jeeves_moss> iceroot, that only shows who's currently logged in.  I'm looking for the history
[22:38] <iceroot> jeeves_moss: there is no history
[22:38] <iceroot> jeeves_moss: maybe something usefull in "/var/log/auth.log"
[22:38] <jeeves_moss> iceroot, so, I can't look up who's logged into the shell?
[22:38] <atvr> anyone have an idea
[22:39] <iceroot> jeeves_moss: auth.log will save something like that but not with the FQDN i guess
[22:39] <vouth> bjrohan, look at the bottom right three columns. That shows the current rate of network traffic. If it's closer to 7m but you're only getting 1m connection speed that would indicate there's something eating up your connection. If it's closer to 1m I have no idea :-D  If there is a problem, you can look above at the individual connections to look for something unexpected that's using a lot of bandwidth. I have to go now, but good luck! :-)
[22:39] <jeeves_moss> iceroot, hummm
[22:39] <iceroot> atvr: just append "nomodeset"
[22:39] <jeeves_moss> iceroot, lol, there's nothing in auth.log!

[22:44] <RokcStar> i wanted to know if there was a way to edit, adjust, or avoid seeing the network pop up when a connection is established or disconnected
[22:44] <RokcStar> the reason is because the pop message doesn't close by itself on my asus netbook ..but it closes correctly on my desktop
[22:45] <atvr> owenll:  error writing /etc/default/grub: read-only file system, do have an idea
[22:45] <Guest1496> hello
[22:45] <owenll> atvr: did you use sudo as it says above?
[22:45] <Guest1496> happy  nnew year
[22:45] <mkanyicy> RokcStar, then I think you should perhaps be investigating on how to fix the pop ups to close themselves rather than fiddling with network manager
[22:46] <aledoni> which version of ubuntu do you guys think would be better for battery life?
[22:46] <atvr> owenll: yes
[22:46] <atvr> owenll: should i type login befor
[22:46] <aledoni> i am new and I need some help figuring out which version is best for battery life, someone please?
[22:46] <RokcStar> well yes thats what i am trying to do i thought maybe you guys have dealt with that issue on here
[22:47] <eron> How to install libusb-1.0.8 after I download it.  How do you make use of the install.sh?  What is the linux version of an .exe file?  Trying to root a droid phone
[22:47] <iceroot> aledoni: any version which is a using a kernel lower then 2.6.38
[22:47] <mkanyicy> atvr, this is interesting, it is possible that your ubuntu remounted as readonly when it encountered some errors
[22:47] <aledoni> so like the 10.04 version?
[22:47] <iceroot> eron: libusb-1.0.0 will not work? because it is in the repos
[22:48] <iceroot> !repos | eron
[22:48] <iceroot> aledoni: correct
[22:48] <atvr> mkanyicy: maybe you can help me, i have kubuntu 11.10, never booted because after grub the screen is going black like its off
[22:49] <_Marcus> So this screen thing confuses me, is there another way I can run a process in another thread or something and I can view it with a command and when I leave my SSH session, it wont be destroyed?
[22:49] <iceroot> _Marcus: screen
[22:49] <eron> when installing Heimdall to flash the phone it gives an error on the install Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libusb-1.0-0 (>= 2:1.0.8)
[22:50] <_Marcus> iceroot: I read this: http://www.bangmoney.org/presentations/screen.html and I still don't understand it
[22:50] <iceroot> _Marcus: type "screen" and then you can use everyting inside that session and it will not destroyed after ssh is dead
[22:50] <mkanyicy> atvr, has that nomodeset ever worked for you, i noticed you mentioned its use as once off on boot
[22:50] <Flannel> _Marcus: You start screen, you make a bunch of consoles/terminals in screen (the same screen session), those will persist when you detach (you don't kill screen)
[22:50] <eron> figure if i update it the program will install should i look in another direction?
[22:50] <Guestnumber2> Can someone help me out? :)
[22:50] <_Marcus> But how do I access the screen in another SSH session?
[22:50] <iceroot> !ask | Guestnumber2
[22:50] <_Marcus> It wont let me.
[22:51] <rich> iweb.com
[22:51] <iceroot> _Marcus: screen -r
[22:51] <Flannel> _Marcus: What do you mean another ssh session?
[22:51] <barney789> hi
[22:51] <iceroot> _Marcus: or screen -x, then both ssh sessions can see the same screen
[22:51] <pukeko> Marcus: you can detach your screen session ( screen -d )
[22:51] <atvr> mkanyicy: yes, i usealy need to set nomodeset and then when there is a login prompt in terminal i have to put sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates
[22:52] <aledoni> iceroot: is there a big performace difference between ubuntu 10.04 and xubuntu 10.04 or are they about the same?
[22:52] <Guestnumber2> with gnome-shell it wont let me install a theme in gnome-tweak-tool, the theme upload shows a Triangle with exclamation
[22:52] <pukeko> Marcus: you can also re-attach your screen session ( screen -r )
[22:52] <owenll> atvr: are you currently logged into the machine whose grub menu you want to edit permanently?
[22:52] <iceroot> aledoni: not a great one for modern hardware
[22:52] <iceroot> aledoni: but xubuntu is taking less ressources/performance then ubuntu(gnome2)
[22:52] <atvr> owenll: no
[22:53] <aledoni> iceroot: thanks
[22:53] <mkanyicy> atvr, ok then, im not sure about the fglrx-updates but you can add (or append a la iceroot) the nomodeset option to the /etc/default/grub file and then run sudo update-grub afterwards
[22:54] <eron> anyone able to tell me how to update the libusb from 1.0.0 to 1.0.8?
[22:54] <barney789> new to ubuntu and need some help in getting the wireless connection working.
[22:54] <iceroot> !wifi | barney789
[22:54] <mkanyicy> atvr, if im not wrong, you said you cant put nomodeset on /etc/default/grub because  the message that comes back saying your filesystem is read-only?
[22:54] <owenll> atvr:  then you need to follow the advice given here to boot it first, then make permanent changes http://askubuntu.com/questions/38780/how-to-set-nomodeset-for-installation
[22:55] <atvr> mkanyicy: that corect
[22:56] <mkanyicy> atvr: can you try to do this and tell me what is the error message: 'sudo touch /forcefsck'
[22:56] <_Marcus> So I've tried to resume a screen, and this happened: http://paste.ubuntu.com/789999/
[22:57] <mkanyicy> atvr, that should create a new empty file under / and print nothing on the screen, otherwise the error message might come to the screen and file not created
[22:57] <ssta> _Marcus: you have to detach it if it's already attached (-dr)
[22:57] <Flannel> _Marcus: If a screen is already attached (and not detached), you need to use -rd
[22:57] <_Marcus> Oh, derp
[22:57] <Flannel> mkanyicy: That'll detach it (from whereever it is currently attached) and then reattach it to you
[22:57] <Flannel> _Marcus: ^^, sorry mkanyicy
[22:58] <ubuntuaddicted> been a long time since I had to kill my xserver from tty1. whats the best command to restart the xsession?
[22:58] <atvr> mkanyicy: touch: /forcefsck: read-only file system
[22:58] <atvr> canot touch**
[22:58] <atvr> cannot**
[22:59] <atvr> mkanyicy: do you want me to type login first and then put your command
[22:59] <mkanyicy> Flannel, no prob
[22:59] <mkanyicy> atvr, ok, as expected. then you have to boot on recovery mode and do fsck on your filesystem, remember to put the nomodeset option on boot time
[23:00] <mkanyicy> atvr, no, you dont have to login, same  behaviour will not change
[23:00] <atvr> mkanyicy: okay but i cannot boot even if i am in recovery mode
[23:00] <mkanyicy> atvr, you are encoutering some errors that makes the / filesytem to be re-mounted as read-only as a safety mechanism
[23:01] <mkanyicy> atvr, and you need to fsck your filesystem
[23:01] <atvr> mkanyicy: can you explaine me how to do that i am new to this
[23:03] <mkanyicy> atvr: run this on terminal
[23:03] <mkanyicy> atvr, df -h | grep '/$'
[23:04] <atvr> mkanyicy: ``no such file or directory``
[23:05] <mushy> Hi all :) Happy New Year from a newbie to Ubuntu
[23:05] <meerkats> im manually editing via terminal the Irrlicht engine in usr, the owner is root, so I need something that makes what sudo does to cd into the directories
[23:05] <meerkats> for instance, sudo cd Irrlicht wont work
[23:05] <meerkats> permission denied
[23:06] <mneptok> cd is a built-in command. use "sudo -i" to get an interactive shell with root privileges
[23:07] <metaspike> or use fakeroot
[23:07] <owenll> atvr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/790008/
[23:07] <mushy> If there is anyone out there who can help a newb install Ubuntu onto a seperate drive?
[23:07] <mkanyicy> atvr, ok, restart ubuntu and when the menu shows up, choose the 'recovery mode' option and use that nomodeset option as usual
[23:08] <mushy> Would be very greatful :)
[23:08] <Fudge> n/window move 30
[23:08] <Fudge> whoops
[23:10] <mkanyicy> atvr, on recovery mode, you can do a 'sudo e2fsck -v -f -y / '
[23:11] <mkanyicy> atvr, you can start ubuntu again and try to add that nomodeset to /etc/default/grub file using that 'sudo nano' command again
[23:11] <metaspike> atvr,   sudo touch /forcefsck && reboot   (set forcefsck and reboot)
[23:11] <mkanyicy> metaspike, atvr 's system is read-only
[23:11] <metaspike> ah,
[23:12] <mkanyicy> metaspike, so touch is failing
[23:12] <atvr> owenll: thanks but i cant boot, it bring me to a screen with 2 fail
[23:12] <Anaxa> hi
[23:12] <owenll> atvr: ok :-/ good luck with finding a solution
[23:13] <metaspike> atvr, read mkanyicy's advice, he's nailed it
[23:13] <atvr> owenll: one of them is starting load fallback graphics devices and the other one is stopping automatic crash report generation
[23:14] <atvr> mkanyicy: so i put sudo e2fsck -v -f -y / into the root shell
[23:14] <mkanyicy> atvr, yes, on recovery mode
[23:15] <Juventus> Hello!
[23:15] <mkanyicy> atvr, so to summarize, you have 2 problems, the read-only problem and the nomodeset problem and you need to fix the read-only problem first
[23:15] <Anaxa> hello hello dangalak herif
[23:16] <atvr> mkanyicy: sudo: invalid option - -  'f'
[23:16] <Juventus> How are you tonight Anaxa ?
[23:16] <Anaxa> Juventus, tr kaynak lazým sendmail kurulumu
[23:16] <Juventus> O ne lan
[23:17] <Juventus> How are you other friends ?
[23:17] <mkanyicy> atvr, are you on recovery mode? anyway please paste the command here that you just ran
[23:17] <mkanyicy> Juventus, all the other friends are ok, need help?
[23:17] <Myrtti> Juventus: did you have a Ubuntu Linux related question or problem?
[23:18] <Juventus> Dont have
[23:18] <Juventus> Thanks
[23:18] <atvr> mkanyicy:  sudo -v -f -y /
[23:18] <Juventus> No, not problem
[23:18] <mkanyicy> atvr, that is not right
[23:18] <Fudge> what's the workplace switcher app called
[23:18] <mkanyicy> atvr, 'sudo e2fsck -v -f -y /'
[23:19] <atvr> mkanyicy: oh sorry lol i am new to linux okay i will try
[23:19] <mkanyicy> atvr, run that on recovery mode
[23:19] <Juventus> I've got a question
[23:20] <Juventus> I need a help this question
[23:20] <mkanyicy> !ask | Juventus
[23:20] <atvr> mkanyicy: i am in recovery mode, and i have the same problem an error regarding the invalid option -- ' f '
[23:21] <Juventus> I would learn to senmail install
[23:21] <mkanyicy> atvr, again, did you run e2fsck
[23:21] <atvr> mkanyicy: yes this time i did
[23:21] <Juventus> Are there who knows?
[23:23] <mkanyicy> atvr, ok, please rewrite here the full command that is failing exactly the way you typed it on terminal
[23:23] <Juventus> Are there who says this install ?
[23:23] <Juventus> Helpm me!
[23:23] <mkanyicy> atvr, ensure that you are running e2fsck not fsck
[23:23] <atvr> mkanyicy: sudo e2fsck -v -f -y /
[23:24] <mkanyicy> atvr, ok, then drop the -f part
[23:24] <mkanyicy> atvr, sudo e2fsck -v -y /
[23:25] <atvr> mkanyicy: e2fsck: Is a directory while trying to open, the superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem,
[23:26] <asterisc> atvr: is / mounted? You can't run e2fsck on mounted fs
[23:26] <atvr> asterisc: how can i know ? i am new to ubuntu and linux
[23:26] <tjiggi_fo> !tr | Juventus
[23:26] <asterisc> atvr: look in /etc/fstab, and see the mappings
[23:27] <atvr> asterisc: i cant get into ubuntu so i am stuck with terminal
[23:27] <asterisc> atvr: try more /etc/fstab
[23:27] <Juventus> Free this room
[23:27] <mkanyicy> asterisc, atvr it has to be mounted
[23:27] <mkanyicy> asterisc, its the / partition
[23:27] <atvr> asterisc: after grub, the screen is shutting down
[23:28] <asterisc> mkanyicy: you can't run e2fsck on a live or mounted filesystem
[23:28] <Seveas> asterisc, yes you can, it just can't fix anything
[23:29] <mkanyicy> asterisc, yes, but how to fsck the / filesystem if you cannot touch /forcefsck?
[23:29] <mkanyicy> asterisc, without having to resort to booting off the live cd
[23:29] <atvr> asterisc: what i am looking for
[23:29] <Seveas> atvr, the argument to fsck should be the device node, not the mount pount
[23:29] <Seveas> so, like /dev/sda1
[23:30] <asterisc> atvr: look for / mapping... like UUID=... / ext4 defaults 0 1 or something like that
[23:32] <atvr> i am just tired of trying getting ubuntu work :(!!!!!!
[23:32] <mkanyicy> atvr, I understand your frustration, please bear with us
[23:33] <mkanyicy> asterisc, so what is your suggestion on atvr 's problem?
[23:33] <CarlFK> 43:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6200 (rev 35) - that's my wifi right?   on this box it worked with 10.10, but not with 11.10.
[23:33] <atvr> mkanyicy: what is bear meaning, i am french but im learning english
[23:33] <metaspike> doesnt the recovery console have defacto write support?
[23:33] <antivirtel> Hello! I'm going to use an aes-cbc-essiv:wp256 on 192 bits. Is it a good choice? Any negative feedback? I haven't found anything about wp256 hash - what is it expecially?
[23:34] <mkanyicy> atvr, bear is the animal that we like to keep with us ...
[23:34] <iceroot> atvr: why all the extra effrort? start the system with thr issue, press shift on boot, the grub comes up, select the line you want to boot and press "e" to edit that line. put "nomodeset" at the end of the line, start the system, install the driver, finished
[23:34] <mkanyicy> atvr, im kidding, its means 'be patient a little bit'
[23:34] <atvr> mkanyicy: maybe i am a teddy bear XD
[23:34] <asterisc> mkanyicy: :)
[23:35] <atvr> mkanyicy: XD thanks for intertain me :)
[23:35] <atvr> iceroot: and then after, wich line you want me to edit :)
[23:35] <metaspike> atvr, you can do as iceroot suggest, but i would  - sudo touch /forcefsck && reboot  - once its booted to fix the actual - cause - of the problem before proceeding
[23:35] <iceroot> atvr: the line you want to start
[23:36] <iceroot> atvr: e.g. 2.6.38
[23:36] <mkanyicy> iceroot, when atvr does the nomodeset on boot time, the / filesystem got mounted read-only
[23:36] <blackshirt> atvr: look device id with blkid -c /dev/null -o list and adjust your uuid on your fstab
[23:36] <iceroot> mkanyicy: but that is not an issue about "nomodeset"
[23:36] <mkanyicy> iceroot,  yes, we know,
[23:37] <asterisc> mkanyicy: I didn't follow his problem, so it's hard to say. Is it a booting problem (like bad partitions in grub menu), or what would be the output of /var/log/syslog or something
[23:37] <mkanyicy> iceroot, but he cannot continue with your suggestion
[23:37] <mkanyicy> iceroot, without fixing that first
[23:37] <atvr> iceroot: i dont understand what you want me to do, i have pressed the 'e' on the first line an then what you want me to do
[23:37] <metaspike> again . doesn't recovery console have write support??!! he could just boot that, touch /forcefsck && reboot . and voila!
[23:38] <mkanyicy> metaspike, im not sure, if thats the case then its easier
[23:38] <atvr> metaspike i will try that
[23:38] <mkanyicy> atvr, can you do a 'sudo touch /forcefsck' ?
[23:40] <metaspike> if theres's a problem with the filesystem, it should fsck automatically instead of mounting read only. seems kinda, counter-productive.
[23:40] <mkanyicy> metaspike, i understand, but what if the problems kick in after the fsck phase of booting
[23:41] <mkanyicy> metaspike, oh, im like answering myself
[23:41] <atvr> mkanyicy: i have done the 'sudo touch /forcefsck' it did nothing
[23:41] <mkanyicy> atvr, then it passed!~
[23:41] <metaspike> maybe the option should at least be given :) yes, an option to prevent people screaming "a fsck ate my hamster"
[23:41] <atvr> mkanyicy: whats next
[23:41] <mkanyicy> atvr, reboot
[23:42] <family_> happy new year all.
[23:43] <atvr> mkanyicy: the screen is still getting black
[23:43] <mkanyicy> atvr, yes it should
[23:43] <mkanyicy> atvr, that was to make sure that your system is fsck-ed
[23:44] <mkanyicy> atvr, and hope that that will solve the read-only part
[23:44] <mkanyicy> atvr, so you have to set the nomodeset the same way you have been doing
[23:44] <atvr> mkanyicy: it didnt, i think i will install a fresh copy of ubuntu not kubuntu 11.10 and try back
[23:45] <atvr> mkanyicy: oh i didnt put back the nomodeset
[23:45] <bandit22> using ubuntu 10.04 does anybody know if upgrading firefox has any advantage?
[23:45] <Guest48392> ..
[23:46] <asterisc> bandit22: what version of firefox do you have installed?
[23:46] <JasonGriffee> i'm trying to share my wireless connection with a coupter via ethernet, keeps swaping "connected/disconnected", why?
[23:47] <atvr> mkanyicy: ok now i have a stopping automatic crash report generation fail
[23:47] <metaspike> atvr, your running 11?
[23:48] <atvr> metaspike yes i am
[23:48] <metaspike> its unreliable, and unforgiving to beginners
[23:48] <metaspike> if you want to use ubuntu, i reccomend 10.04
[23:49] <bandit22> 3.6 something
[23:50] <metaspike> or expect alligators and dragons everytime you do something even remotely abnormal
[23:50] <atvr> metaspike okay, but i have a 1month old laptop and a more older version (i think it will cause me more issue)
[23:50] <asterisc> bandit22: I'd recommend you to upgrade firefox. I have 8.0 in ubuntu 11.10, and it's much faster, much ligher, and safer too. It's always a good idea to upgrade, unless you have a really good reason not to
[23:51] <bandit22> no reason not to except updates don't come in 10.04
[23:51] <metaspike> dare to be stupid
[23:52] <iceroot> !info firefox lucid
[23:52] <atvr> im out for today, thanks for helping me ppl, but it gave me a headache so see you tomorrow
[23:53] <asterisc> bandit22: if you are staying with LTS, probably it's a good idea to wait for 12.04, and then have a distro upgrade :)
[23:53] <metaspike> bandit22, nobody with a clue ever said that you cant update LTS releases
[23:54] <treesome> i got an ipod classic and i want to transfer some videos (avi), but BANSHEE doesn't have the right decoder/encoder ( i don't really know). Can somebody help me please?
[23:54] <JasonGriffee> i'm trying to share my wireless connection with a coupter via ethernet, keeps swaping "connected/disconnected", why?
[23:54] <bandit22> thought i might wait but have been having a lot of random crashes lately for unknown reasons
[23:54] <Ice_Phantom> QUESTION:  Need some help.  I installed a network printer (HP) and I am trying to print a document from my Ubuntu operating system. Is this possible?
[23:54] <metaspike> treesome, I suggest smplayer or vlc
[23:54] <treesome> vlc for transfering?
[23:54] <metaspike> treesome, ah. gtkpod
[23:55] <metaspike> to transfer, smplayer / vlc to play
[23:55] <treesome> gtkpod doesnt support my ipod ;--)
[23:56] <metaspike> Ice_Phantom, cups
[23:56] <Ice_Phantom> cups?
[23:56] <metaspike> !cups
[23:56] <metaspike> !ipod
[23:56] <slipknot> hi i can not mount my iphone 4.2.1 on ubuntu any idea i
[23:56] <slipknot> get this error (ifuse -u uuid /media/IPhone/ --root
[23:56] <slipknot> No device found, is it connected?
[23:57] <Ice_Phantom> Thanks ubottu
[23:57] <vagothcpp> is it possible to use apt to install the same package for both i386 and amd64 versions?
[23:57] <metaspike> !iphone
[23:57] <metaspike> slipknot, ^ apparently its the same.
[23:57] <treesome> thanks ima try it, good night or wathever time zone youre living in ;-) bye
[23:58] <JasonGriffee> i'm trying to share my wireless connection with a coupter via ethernet, keeps swaping "connected/disconnected", why?
[23:58] <slipknot> metaspike: you have the same problem
[23:59] <metaspike> no, slipknot read the ipod factoid.... apparently the solutions are the same. you could probably mount manually in terminal.. sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /media/ipod - or some such


[06:16] <MutantTurkey> phone broke :/
[14:26] <SamuraiAlba> Good bacon to all, and good vodka to all


[07:39] <om26er> RAOF: hello
[07:41] <duflu> om26er: He seems to be away today
[07:42] <om26er> duflu: oh, ok. I was told to contact RAOF regarding libmirclient-debug as I needed the mouse pointer co-ordinates from it. Do you know if there are any docs on that somewhere ?
[07:44] <duflu> om26er: The debug extension provides only two headers and we keep the docs in the headers.... dpkg -L libmirclient-debug-extension-dev
[07:45] <duflu> So that would be the place if any
[07:45] <duflu> Oh, one header. Duplicated :)
[07:45] <duflu> Seems the feature isn't there
[07:47] <om26er> yeah seems the co-ordinates of a surface are available only
[07:48] <om26er> even more, does this extension require mir to be running in debug mode ?
[07:48] <duflu> om26er: Not sure. I'm not aware of such a feature but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist
[07:49] <om26er> duflu: I did send an email to Chris last night so, will probably get a reply next week
[07:50] <duflu> om26er: Yeah sorry. He just seems to be absent today
[10:03] <duflu> anpok_: Progress. I now have in-server clients (render_surfaces) working in VirtualBox. 100FPS at 1320x910 in a VM :)
[10:53] <dandrader> alan_g, greyback, regarding immediate miral-qt work: I think we should now propose branches for lp:~unity-team/qtmir/miral-qt-integration instead of lp:miral. Then, once lp:~unity-team/qtmir/miral-qt-integration lands, propose directly for lp:qtmir
[10:54] <dandrader> alan_g, greyback, sounds like a plan?
[10:55] <greyback> dandrader: can we get a silo together with a working miral-ised unity8, just to assess where we are right now
[10:55] <dandrader> greyback, need miral 0.4, as I told on the e-mail
[10:55] <greyback> dandrader: which doesn't stop us making a test silo, including miral
[10:55] <alan_g> dandrader: greyback there are pros and cons to each approach, it depends where we think most of the remaining work lies.
[10:57] <alan_g> I have a somewhat biassed view because I'm just looking at the interaction with Mir and MirAL.
[11:01]  * greyback changing office, bbiab
[11:12]  * alan_g thinks miral will need work for packaging to work on vivid (because of the g++ ABI)
[11:42] <alan_g> greyback: in my review of miral-qt I'm looking at orientation. So far, MirAL doesn't expose orientation of displays or surfaces and I'm not sure that matters to /window management/. That is, I think it's a /compositing/ concern. And for compositing I think we need a different abstraction than miral::Window (with a way to map between of course). Other stuff that belongs to that abstraction are buffers_ready_for_composit
[11:42] <alan_g> or(), occlusion, generate_renderables(). Does that make sense to you?
[11:43] <greyback> alan_g: are you including preferred_orientation in that assessment>
[11:44] <greyback> display rotation causes a geometry change, the window manager may want to do work to reposition/resie surfaces to suit
[11:45] <greyback> but the WM might also want to notify the app of the orientation it wants it to display at
[11:45]  * greyback ponder
[11:45] <greyback> s
[11:49] <alan_g> I'm not entirely sure about orientation (or preferences) it isn't yet clear to me
[11:50] <greyback> ok, quick summary: windows can have a list of preferred orientations (orientations the UI supports)
[11:51] <alan_g> yep
[11:51] <greyback> then the shell should limit the system orientation to match those preferences
[11:51] <greyback> within reason
[11:52] <alan_g> that's the wibble word
[11:52] <greyback> so if surfaceA specifies it prefers portrait orientation, and it is focused, shell should be in portrait
[11:53] <greyback> right, because it's not straightforward - if you are on desktop, shell isn't going to change from natural landscape to portrait, just because the surface prefers it
[11:54] <alan_g> Ack. that convinces me that there's a WM component.
[11:54] <greyback> for a traditional desktop, everything will be landscape. But on a tablet or phone, preferred orientations may cause the shell to decide to change orientation
[11:54] <greyback> yeah, I believe the WM needs to care
[11:55]  * alan_g has seen portrait desktop setups
[11:55] <greyback> oh sure, they exist. But you can't easily switch orientation just because the app prefers it. Alt-Tabbing between portrant & landscape surfaces shouldn't force you to rotate your monitor on its stand
[11:55] <alan_g> greyback: thanks, I need to think some more
[11:56] <greyback> but changing display orientation on a phone/tablet is trivial
[11:57] <alan_g> Unless "locked" by the user
[11:57] <greyback> indeed
[11:59] <alan_g> So MirAL's next big feature should be an orientation model that supports choices
[12:01]  * alan_g thinks hard
[12:01] <greyback> take note that unity8 orientation support is all done in unity8 - Mir is not doing any rotation of the shell
[12:01] <alan_g> ack
[12:03] <greyback> which isn't ideal, we're not updating the display config with the "correct" orientation - it something I need to look at again. It was mainly blocked due to bug 1556142
[12:03] <ubot5`> bug 1556142 in Mir "Changing scale, formFactor or DPI in display configuration causes renderer teardown/recreate unnecessarily" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1556142
[12:37] <alan_g> greyback: I know RAOF has been chipping away at that, could be worth re-examining post Mir-0.25
[12:38] <greyback> alan_g: ack
[12:48] <dandrader> alan_g, miral no longer builds in V+O http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/23425346/
[12:49] <alan_g> dandrader: "interesting"
[15:44] <dandrader> greyback, while I wait for miral 0.4 I gonna start experimenting with exposing child miral windows to unity8 (popups, menus). with a separate branch on top of lp:~unity-team/qtmir/miral-qt-integration
[15:45] <greyback> dandrader: perfect!
[15:45] <greyback> dandrader: I believe we both agree that any new work on qtmir is done on top of that branch
[16:15] <alan_g> dandrader: greyback quick review? https://code.launchpad.net/~alan-griffiths/miral/update-changelog/+merge/310077
[16:16] <greyback> looks good, acked
