[00:01] <gordon1234> t432, are you using the B43 driver?
[00:01] <krambiorix> Dr_willis_, better rc.local than fstab?
[00:02] <t432> gordon1234: im not sure...it came with ubuntu installation - worked automatically so I didnt need to play about with it.
[00:02] <gordon1234> t432, if you click on the network connection and lock at connection information, it should tell you the driver
[00:03] <t432> Thats the beauty of Ubuntu 11.10 :)
[00:03] <Dr_willis_> krambiorix,  fstab is designed for such tasks..
[00:03] <vidphile> Hey all, I have two systems here. Both systems are running 11.10. One plays mts files in totem and in vlc the other only plays the audio while showing the pink screen. Anyone know whats installed on the first system that's allowing this to happen?
[00:03] <nyles> how can i blacklist a driver? by adding blacklist (driver) in the blacklist.conf right?
[00:03] <Dr_willis_> !blacklist
[00:04] <nyles> Dr_willis_, thanks.. but how come it doesn't change anything? can you tell me what are the drivers for video card? im using nvidia graphics card..
[00:05] <mbot_> y
[00:05] <krambiorix> Dr_willis_, ok thx!
[00:06] <Dr_willis_> nyles,  no idea really - If its a 3 yr old laptop with a dual video setup. it must be some thing rather unique for the time.
[00:06] <Dr_willis_> nyles,  you may want to check the forums and askubuntu.com for that exact laptop make/model.
[00:06] <nyles> Dr_willis_, would you believe that this PC is more than 10 years old?
[00:06] <t432>  gordon1234: lsusb out says [Broadcom 4320]
[00:07] <t432> im assuming that is the driver
[00:07] <Dr_willis_> nyles,  time to save up your lunch money then. :)
[00:07] <Mathias56> Anyone might know why blender keep crashing on my ubuntu server but not on windows? It only happens on scenes with heavy particle effects.
[00:07] <t432> gordon1234: network connections gives me no driver info... whats the terminal command?
[00:07]  * Dr_willis_ waits for the  Cherry Pi - Uber-mini-pc thing to start shipping. :)
[00:07] <Mathias56> Blender chat seems kind of dead
[00:08] <nyles> Dr_willis_, is there no other way than that? lol hahaha.. i want to use this even if this is too old..
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis_: I'm up for a cotton candy :)
[00:08] <Dr_willis_> nyles,  no idea.  with a 10 yr old laptop. you are lucky it even boots really...
[00:09] <gordon1234> t432, ah. Its not active, so no driver is loaded yet.
[00:09] <EvilResistance> nyles, if the system is more than ten years old its graphics card is probably not supporting dual monitors.  Either that, or there's no drivers that would do that because the card is likely far past its production end dates.
[00:09] <savid> How do I make it so that I can access the grub menu during startup?  I need to revert to the previous kernel.
[00:09] <Mathias56> have you guys ever seen what happens to old computers? They ship them to africa where they throw them in a big fire to melt the metals out :P
[00:10] <nyles> Dr_willis_, i can't seem to find the my_blacklist.conf that the both is pertaining to, am i the one to generate it?
[00:10] <zykotick9> savid: HOLD shift after BIOS
[00:10] <nyles> EvilResistance, im not trying to use dual monitors.. ^^
[00:10] <savid> Zykotic, tried that,  doesn't seem to work.
[00:10]  * EvilResistance misread then
[00:10] <gordon1234> t432, have to dash, but there are a few hits on google about 4320s and getting them to work. Good luck
[00:10] <nyles> EvilResistance, im just trying to solve the black screen..
[00:10] <t432> gordon1234: but im connected?
[00:10] <EvilResistance> nyles, it may still be the card.
[00:11] <Mathias56> http://www.kfpe.ch/projects/echangesuniv/pics/zumbuehl_URC_electronic_scrap_stockpile.jpg
[00:11] <t432> ok
[00:11] <const_antine> Pidgin source has configure script that uses pkg-config to find if libglib is adequately recent. However, the install package for glib doesn't provide pkg-config with information about itself. What do?
[00:11] <savid> zykotick9, isn't there some way to make it so that grub always shows the menu with a delay?
[00:11] <Dr_willis_> nyles,  its saying to make one of some name you want.
[00:11] <pomke> Hello, I'm on natty on my laptop, the update manager cannot seem to find oneiric at all, its tracking normal releases, I've tried 3-4 different mirrors including the main server..
[00:11] <gordon1234> t432, right click on the wireless icon and select connection information
[00:12] <nyles> EvilResistance, i see, even if this works with windows xp, and puppy linux?
[00:12] <Dr_willis_>  edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf  <------------------------ Pick a descriptive name
[00:12] <nyles> Dr_willis_, ohhh and it will be loaded automatically?
[00:12] <Dr_willis_> nyles,  thats how it works - I rarely have to mess with blackliusting
[00:12] <EvilResistance> nyles, it could indeed still be the card, but i'll let Dr_willis_ help you out here, i've got a phone call coming in
[00:12] <t432> gordon1234: Driver: rndis_wlan
[00:13] <nyles> Dr_willis_, these are what i have included in the blacklist, am i missing something? blacklist nouveau
[00:13] <nyles> blacklist vga16fb
[00:13] <nyles> blacklist rivafb
[00:13] <nyles> blacklist nvidiafb
[00:13] <nyles> blacklist rivatv
[00:13] <nyles> blacklist nv
[00:13] <FloodBot1> nyles: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:14] <gordon1234> t432, yep. you need to have the b43 driver .... sorry, really need to go now.
[00:14] <Dr_willis_> nyles,  im not even sure what you are doing, or why you need to be doing all this.
[00:14] <t432> gordon1234: Before you go ..do i install it with ndiswrapper?
[00:14] <nyles> Dr_willis_, ahh ok thanks..
[00:18] <zykotick9> savid: sorry I was AFK, ya check in /etc/default/grub for the setting (don't forget "sudo update-grub" after making any changes)
[00:20] <pomke> Any idea on why I don't get offered oneiric as an upgrade? I'm on natty, update manager is configured to show new releases
[00:20] <sharpK> is there somewhere one can view SSH settings in ubuntu 11.10?
[00:20] <pomke> I've tried multiple servers
[00:20] <nyles> !blacklist
[00:21] <pomke> sharpK: what do you mean? you can look in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[00:21] <sharpK> pomke: ubuntu box not accepting an SSH connection from a windwos box on same network, I'll check the config file, thanks
[00:21] <Fudge> any guides on how to use dual monitor setup in unity
[00:22] <invisiblek> i'm looking for some sort of application for putting music on to my mp3 player. i know i can just drag and drop but i'd prefer something that would convert if need be and also to change the bitrate as it copies in order to maximize space
[00:22] <Dr_willis_> Fudge,  depends on yoru video chipset. and unity in 11.10 and befor have 'issues' wth dual monitors - other desktops/wms may work better for you
[00:22] <pomke> sharpK: tail -F /var/log/auth
[00:22] <pomke> then try connecting
[00:22] <pomke> it should tell you what is going wrong
[00:23] <Fudge> Dr_willis_  its in natty and precise, but the nvidia settings manager detects the external monitor, restart X etc but it does not come up in twin view etc
[00:23] <Stek_Turku> hi all... i am using testdisk to recover my /home partition (ext4) because now it was unknown
[00:23] <lucas_>  hello someone can help me with export Display configurations ?
[00:23] <Stek_Turku> quick search didn't find this partition but deeper search find it
[00:24] <Dr_willis_> Fudge,  i install nvidia drivers. (reboot so they get used) run the nvidia-settings tool as root, enable twinview, save changes to the xorg.conf then restart X again. (or reboot)
[00:24] <sharpK> pomke no such dir?
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> pomke: auth.log ;)
[00:25] <savid> grub used to have menu.lst where I could edit stuff..   where
[00:25] <sharpK> ActionParsnip: So: tail -F /var/auth.log
[00:25] <Fudge> Dr_willis_  you get asked by gksu to save the file which is in etc/X11 Dr_willis_ , do you still think it woudl need to be ran as root
[00:25] <Stek_Turku> my sda have three partition... sda1 is / and it's primary, sda2 is extended and finally in sda2 i have two logical partition, sda5 was my /home and sda6 is linux-swap
[00:26] <savid> Where does that file exist in oneiric?
[00:26] <Dr_willis_> Fudge,  you edit the xorg.conf as root..
[00:26] <Dr_willis_> Fudge,  i rbun gksudo nvidia-settings   normally
[00:26] <pomke> ActionParsnip: ty, that too :)
[00:26] <BrendanMcc> is there a way to change my eth0 adapter from and AMD to a standard Intel Pro/1000 ??? I can only get NAT network access no bridged in vmware
[00:27] <sharpK> tried tail -F /var/auth.log and then SSHing, connection refused, but nothing showing up in terminal...
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> BrendanMcc: i'd ask in #vmware
[00:27] <Dr_willis_> BrendanMcc,  you mean in Vmware - can you change the virtual nic chipset?
[00:27] <BrendanMcc> Dr_willis_: YES!!
[00:28] <BrendanMcc> ActionParsnip: I already asked in Vmware
[00:28] <nyles> !vesa
[00:28] <pomke> sharpK: its tail -F /var/log/auth.log
[00:28] <Dr_willis_> I know that virtualbox has like 3 differnt 'nic chipsets' you can select. and then like 3 differnt types of networking for the virtual machine to use.
[00:28] <lucas_>  hello someone can help me with export Display configurations ?
[00:29] <pomke> lucas_: what do you mean?
[00:29] <BrendanMcc> Dr_willis_: I know that too... can it be done in vmware that you know of?
[00:29] <nyles> how will i know if im using the vesa driver?
[00:29] <MagicJ> I am running 11.10 from a usb stick with persistence.  Almost eveything seems to be persietnt except when I set hostname it resets to ubunto on each boot = how do I fix that
[00:31] <sharpK> ponke should that tail command live update connections accepted/refused?
[00:31] <lucas_> pomke: i am trying to export my display at AWS - ubuntu instance to my computer that has Xming installed
[00:32] <nyles> how will i know if im using the vesa driver?
[00:32] <rattatoue> BrendanMcc, yes you can. I have done bridged and that before with vmware.
[00:33] <dejahthoris> nyles: you could try looking in /var/log/xorg.0.log
[00:33] <BrendanMcc> rattatoue: is there a link explaining the procedure or would you mind helping me get it done?
[00:34] <rattatoue> nyles, or you could try lspci -v and then find your video card maybe
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> nyles: sudo lshw -C display | grep driver
[00:34] <rattatoue> BrendanMcc, it should just be under the settings for that VM. I think its settings then like on the right it says Network or hardware.
[00:35] <nyles> dejahthoris, rattatoue ActionParsnip thanks so much..
[00:35] <sharpK> how would I check in there's some kind of firewall install on 11.10?
[00:36] <sharpK> or do I just have to sift through the apps?
[00:36] <rattatoue> BrendanMcc, try this, might help you out more http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_net_configurations_changing.html
[00:36] <Kre10s> hello. Where does ubuntu keep the ld linker scripts?
[00:37] <chid> MagicJ maybe rc.local
[00:37] <nyles> ok, I'm using vesa, if i removed vesa too, will i be able to see my desktop?
[00:37] <lucas_> ii am trying to export my display at AWS - ubuntu instance to my computer that has Xming installed...someone can help me?
[00:37] <MagicJ> chid:  why there of all places
[00:38] <rattatoue> nyles, if you remove the driver that your card is using, then most likely you will get a failed driver problem when you try restarting and X wont load
[00:38] <nyles> rattatoue, thanks..
[00:38] <rattatoue> sorry lucas_ , i have no idea how to do that
 thanks!!
[00:39] <Fudge> Dr_willis_  strangely plugging another montir on and then the other one made it all work
[00:39] <Fudge> but the second server on sperate x server  just comes up with grey screen and an X , what do you have to do to send stuff to that monitor
[00:40] <nyles> is it possible to pack a driver from windows to be use in ubuntu? or from puppy linux to be use in ubuntu?
[00:40] <some_new_dud> sup
[00:40] <nyles> !nomodeset
[00:40] <some_new_dud> nyles: what are you asking LOL
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> nyles: depends on which windows driver
[00:41] <dejahthoris> nyles: want kind of video card do you have?
[00:41] <nyles> ActionParsnip, wow? so its possible? its video card driver..
[00:41] <rattatoue> lucas_, this might help you. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1144669. It talks about that, so might least give you an idea in the right path
[00:41] <nyles> dejahthoris, NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400
[00:41] <dejahthoris> nyles: that should be supported already
[00:41] <rattatoue> nyles, wait you have a Nvidia card and your running Vesa? Why not just installed the nvidia drivers probably run a lot better
[00:42] <lucas_> rattatoue thanks..i am reading this rigth now
[00:42] <some_new_dud> I am not happy
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> nyles: no, but some network drivers can be used
[00:42] <rattatoue> Neither am I!
[00:42] <nyles> dejahthoris, rattatoue that's what i'm doing for the past 2 days, but it will only end up with a black screen or a white screen..
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> nyles: did you try oneiric yet?
[00:43] <rattatoue> nyles, how are you trying to install the driver?
[00:43] <nyles> ActionParsnip, yeah oneiric gave me white screen :D
[00:43] <nyles> rattatoue, i already tried apt-get install nvidia-96, and also the one in nvidia site..
[00:44] <rattatoue> nyles, did you try additional drivers in ubuntu?
[00:44] <JoeSatrian> hello there
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> nyles: did you blacklist the nouveau driver so you could get a desktop?
[00:44] <nyles> rattatoue, proprietary? yeah i tried it also
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> hi JoeSatrian
[00:44] <JoeSatrian> Hi ActionParsnip
[00:44] <nyles> ActionParsnip, yeah and nomodeset option
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> nyles: strange. do you connect via a wired connection?
[00:44] <nyles> ActionParsnip, without the nomodeset, it just black or a white screen
[00:45] <JoeSatrian> Have you problems with overheating in 11.10 to?
[00:45] <nyles> ActionParsnip, nope, LAN..
[00:45] <zizoo> Is there any tool for gnome I can use to rapidly write and execute temporary bash scripts?
[00:45] <nyles> ActionParsnip, strange really, i really don't know what's with Puppy that my card is working perfect..
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> nyles: LAN doesn't tell us the physical media used. You can get a wired LAN and a wired LAN
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> *wireless
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> nyles: LAN just means your local home network, nothing more
[00:46] <JoeSatrian> Somebody have overheating problems when upgraded to 11.10 version?
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> JoeSatrian: what make and model system?
[00:47] <rhobday> hello
[00:47] <rhobday> i need help
[00:47] <dejahthoris> nyles: that would be one of the older nvidia cards, maybe you have the resolution or color depth set out of range?
[00:47] <nyles> ActionParsnip, i don't get it? lol..
[00:47] <rattatoue> nyles, did you try installing the legacy driver
[00:47] <nyles> dejahthoris, yeah i think but i don't know what to do lol..
[00:47] <rhobday> ubuntu will not connect to my netgear router
[00:48] <easy> iii
[00:48] <rhobday> any help?
[00:48] <easy> eae manos
[00:48] <diverdude> is it possible to remote control a windows machine from windows using the remote desktop program?
[00:48] <JoeSatrian> ActionParsnip:  its a Philco model phn14103.
[00:49] <Bender> exscuse me, how do I know if a task, maybe in background, is useing my mic-in input? It is busy and I can't record with a software.
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> diverdude: ask in ##windows
[00:49] <rattatoue> diverdude, if your doing windows to windows why not just use teamviewer or vnc or something? The remote desktop thing is usually a pain
[00:49] <rhobday> is anyone going to help me?
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: what is your issue?
[00:49] <diverdude> rattatoue: i didnt set up the server
[00:49] <rattatoue> rhobday, you just came back, you crashed -.-
[00:49] <very_sad> rdp is better than vnc on windows itself
[00:49] <rhobday> i know :P
[00:49] <diverdude> rattatoue: server only has remote deskcrap
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: you haven't stated your issue, so how can anyone help at all
[00:50] <rattatoue> diverdude, pvt
 ubuntu will not connect to my netgear router
[00:50] <dejahthoris> nyles: in /etc/X11 there might be a file called xorg.conf or xorg-conf-vesa. If it's there, you might be able to make a backup of the file and then edit the settings you find in it
[00:50] <rattatoue> ActionParsnip, <rhobday> ubuntu will not connect to my netgear router
[00:50] <rhobday> ubuntu will not connect to the internet
[00:50] <zizoo> Or is there any other way to do more dynamic things from the terminal? Such as creating a series of folders according to a "Name <number>" scheme, or quickly moving all the files inside a folder to the parent folder, then deleting that folder?
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> rattatoue: what wifi chip does yuor system use?
[00:50] <rhobday> it's mine
[00:50] <nyles> rattatoue, yeah i tried installing it too..
[00:50] <rattatoue> ActionParsnip, no thats not my question thats what rhobday's question was
[00:50] <diverdude> rattatoue: ?
[00:50] <very_sad> lotta PEBKAC
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: no, there is a chip inside your PC or some usb stick which gives you wireless. What is it?
[00:51] <rhobday> and i'm running a p7 pavillion 1010
[00:51] <nyles> dejahthoris, would you believe that i don't have xorg.conf? :) strange isn't?
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> rattatoue: wrong target, sorry
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> zizoo: I'd ask in #bash  they got mad skills
[00:51] <rhobday> ugh
[00:52] <dejahthoris> nyles: if you can't eben make vesa work it might be time for a new video card anyways
[00:52] <zizoo> Thanks ActionParsnip!
[00:52] <rhobday> how can i find the wifi card?
[00:52] <rattatoue> nyles, I think in oneric they did away with the xorg.conf file..and yeah im with what dejahthoris said
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: run:  sudo lshw -C network    what is the product line of the wireless chip (it will take a while to run)
[00:52] <rhobday> i'm on windows atm
[00:52] <rhobday> as i said ubuntu wont connect
[00:53] <nyles> rattatoue, dejahthoris thanks for the time..
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: then boot to ubuntu, run the command, note the product line and reboot to windows. Isn't that glaringly obvious...?
[00:53] <rhobday> >.> i'll be back
[00:53] <rattatoue> nyles, I found this. It might help you some for your card, but beyond this not real sure. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1614347

[00:56] <rattatoue> XuMuK, http://askubuntu.com/questions/87610/does-intel-turbo-boost-work-in-ubuntu

[01:02] <very_sad> ugggggggggggghhhhhh so it was decided it might be a layer.

[01:02] <rhobday> 7
[01:02] <s7word> 有这么多人   ::::::many people
[01:03] <rattatoue> rhobday, Click the flag in the bottom left, then right click Computer. Go to Properties then Devices Manager in the far top left. Then when that comes up click the + next to Network Adapters I think and you should see your wireless there.
[01:04] <t432> After installing the "b43-fwcutter" and "firmware-b43-installer" for the bcm43 driver - manuals syas the driver will be listed in "Additional Hardware Drivers" just checked it not there

[01:04] <s7word>  Do you Chinese  people
[01:04] <rhobday> thanks rattatoue
[01:04] <rattatoue> rhobday, it doesnt say something like Netgear blah blah blah or Linksis blah blah blah. It should say something else then just 802.11n wireless land card
[01:05] <rattatoue> rhobday, and no problem, ive been in your place before lol
[01:05] <rhobday> i have the hamachi thing

[01:06] <rattatoue> rhobday, keep going, thats virtual and the hamachi is the vpn in windows. Any other wireless?
[01:06] <rhobday> that's all in the netword adapters
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: yep, windows doesn't tell you anything useful. Thats why you need the commands I gave earlier
[01:07] <rattatoue> rhobday, your going to have to do what Action told you. Most of the time windows says like Netgear N150 or whatever, but instead yours just says what channel it uses.
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: its rare for windows users to know or even care what wifi chip they are using
[01:07] <rhobday> i know the router
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: run the command I gave, copy the file and put it in a pastebin, we can then see the interfaces
[01:07] <rhobday> but idk the wifi card
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: the router is moot
[01:07] <rhobday> can you repaste the command
[01:08] <rattatoue> rhobday, <ActionParsnip> rhobday: if you run:  lspci >~~/Desktop/output.txt; lsusb >> ~/Desktop/output.txt    you can copy the file on your desktop to your NTFS partition
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: the router could be absolutely anything, it will abide by defacto standards so doesn't matter in any way
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: lspci > ~/Desktop/output.txt; lsusb >> ~/Desktop/output.txt
[01:09] <rhobday> do i run that alone
[01:09] <rhobday> or do i use the old command
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: ubuntu is smart and can write to NTFS, Windows is rubbish and cannot access  Ext4 which ubuntu uses by default
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: yes, the command I gave, run it alone and it will make a file on your desktop
[01:10] <urfr332gO> ActionParsnip, tisk, now, now, lol.:)
[01:10] <rhobday> thank you, i will be back
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> the world would be a much happier place if windows could access ext4 easily.
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> but hey, its microsoft, so probably not
[01:10] <urfr332gO> ActionParsnip, and many other things yeah. :)
[01:11] <Lint> ActionParsnip, it would, if anyone would need it
[01:11] <rattatoue> One bad problem if Linux was used a lot more then Windows. Is more people would write viruses for Linux.
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> Lint: helps for dual booters
[01:12] <urfr332gO> rattatoue, Lint no real cause and effect just fud.
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> !av | rattatoue
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> rattatoue: there are some viruses for Linux, they are just in Labs
[01:13] <urfr332gO> rattatoue, just assumptions that show the lack of knowledge of open source which runs about half of the servers on the web, and Gogles search engines and many other areas.
[01:14] <Lint> these servers could run System V to the same effect
[01:14] <rattatoue> I am not assuming anything, I know there are linux viruses. Its simple math. The more people that use a OS and the more popular it is, the more people will write viruses for it. Ergo like Windows is most popular it has more viruses. Just as Linux is hackable so is WIndows Mac etc
[01:15] <mehwork> can't seem to connect to wifi, syslog is saying: wlan0 DHCP transaction took too long, stopping.  Anyone know why?
[01:15] <urfr332gO> rattatoue, there are none on the web and your simple math.
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> rattatoue: its nothing do with popularity
[01:15] <Lint> urfr332gO, kernel.org
[01:15] <urfr332gO> rattatoue, a root kit is not a virus by the way.
[01:15] <rattatoue> Yes it does, why make a virus to infect us linux users. When make one for Windows and you infect a lot more people
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> rattatoue: https://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/8261-note-to-new-linux-users-no-antivirus-needed
[01:16] <rattatoue> Okay this talk is pointless, you all are not understanding what I am saying. So its pointless to have this convo lol
[01:16] <rattatoue> mehwork, are you trying to use dhcpcd to get the wireless working?
[01:17] <mehwork> rattatoue: i have no idea
[01:17] <mehwork> i'm just using wifi like i always do in ubuntu as far as i know
[01:17] <rattatoue> mehwork, how are you trying to get your wireless working?
[01:17] <urfr332gO> Lint, right but as far as I have read that breach was not released to the public and the mother kernels so to speak were securely store to be clean.
[01:17] <mehwork> i right click on the network icon in the panel and go into 'edit connections' (lucid lynx)
[01:17] <mehwork> rattatoue: ^
[01:18] <urfr332gO> Lint, I'm not arguing that open source is not hackable but use some critical thinking and empirical data in your argument.
[01:18] <rattatoue> mehwork, are you sure your selecting your wireless network instead of another one?
[01:19] <rhobday> i think i messed up
[01:19] <rhobday> it said there is no such thing as output.txt
[01:20] <NyLes> rattatoue: can you analyze the xorg.conf i got from puppy linux?
[01:20] <mehwork> rattatoue: very sure
[01:20] <rattatoue> NyLes, sure, can you paste it on pastebin
[01:20] <mehwork> rattatoue: i even have another ubuntu computer connected to it and i'm seeing the connection settings are equal
[01:21] <NyLes> rattatoue: http://paste.ubuntu.com/850965/
[01:21] <mehwork> rattatoue: only difference is the computer that's wifi isnt working is a desktop that has a wireless card/antennae but it worked a few months ago the last time i used it
[01:21] <rhobday> Action
[01:22] <rattatoue> NyLes, it is using the nv driver
[01:23] <NyLes> rattatoue: i just want to ask under section monitor, it is different with the one generated by nvidia-xconfig?
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: ?
[01:23] <rhobday> is there an easier way to talk to you
[01:23] <rattatoue> NyLes, it may be, idk how the nvidia-xconfig generates that part exactly vs the way puppylinux finds it
[01:23] <NyLes> rattatoue: the option with nvidia's xorg is DPMS
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: you can run gedit and just run:  lspci;lsusb    then copy the text manually if you want
[01:24] <rhobday> if i run that
[01:24] <rhobday> does it show like a list of 9 things
[01:24] <rattatoue> NyLes, sorry what?
[01:24] <rhobday> less or more
[01:24] <urfr332gO> !tab > rhobday
[01:25] <rattatoue> mehwork, it sounds like a driver issue. ActionParsnip might be able to help you with wireless driver problem.
[01:25] <NyLes> rattatoue: i mean the option under section monitor with the xorg.conf generated by nvidia is DPMS.. while in puppy it's Preffered?
[01:26] <rhobday> ActionParsnip do you want me to run that and tell you the output?
[01:26] <diverdude> how do i install tsclient on ubuntu?
[01:27] <erpo> Is there a way to install ubuntu on a PC with no graphics card? It does have an ethernet port and a CD drive.
[01:27] <rattatoue> NyLes, that might be your problem on Ubuntu. As someone mentioned before you could be going outside of your resolution. Where on puppy linux it sets your resolution to 1024x600
[01:27] <robbie72> hi everybody, should the linux-headers packages take an unusually long time to install ?
[01:27] <erpo> I don't mean "no monitor attached." I mean "no onboard video or video card installed."
[01:28] <NyLes> rattatoue: wanna see the one generated by nvidia?
[01:28] <robbie72> i'm taking around 5 mins wait so far
[01:28] <rattatoue> NyLes, Sure. same on pastebin again
[01:28] <urfr332gO> robbie72, depends on your web speed mine load in less then a couple of minutes.
[01:28] <robbie72> urfr332gO:  web speed? the package has already downloaded, its the installation that seems to be taking ages
[01:28] <robbie72> top shows dpkg doing a bit of work
[01:28] <robbie72> and the hard drive light is going like crazy
[01:29] <urfr332gO> robbie72, also the mirror speed you can change mirrors.
[01:29] <robbie72> its already downloaded
[01:29] <NyLes> rattatoue: http://paste.ubuntu.com/852103
[01:29] <robbie72> its the installation of the package thats unusually long
[01:29] <urfr332gO> robbie72, there it is per your hardware really.
[01:30] <robbie72> IRCAnswersBot:  Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz, 2Tb SATA drive etc
[01:30] <rattatoue> !tab > NyLes
[01:30] <robbie72> urfr332gO: i was just wondering if it was usual
[01:30] <robbie72> this is a box that has gone through a number of upgrades over the years
[01:31] <urfr332gO> robbie72, hd's that large huh where on the drive is the install, and is it a wubi install?
[01:31] <robbie72> so theres every chance something could be wrong/missing somewhee
[01:32] <tlm> i replaced my bootloader by accident with a gentoo live dvd and tried to get it back with grub-install but there's no menu now...
[01:32] <urfr332gO> robbie72, every chance is a assumption really, can you answer the last questions.
[01:32] <harovali> hello, while configuring openvpn I'm getting the "TLS Error: Unroutable control packet received from ..." message. I've synced both machines with openntpd, they share the same date and time. I've regenerater all, the CA, the server and the client certificates, and even the dh. What might be the problem ?
[01:32] <robbie72> urfr332gO: 2 secs, phone
[01:33] <harovali> in the client besides I've run openssl verify -CAfile ca.crt -purpose sslclient mycert.crt  and I get OK
[01:33] <spartan2276> I'm trying to get my Genius Pen to work with Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm following these instructions. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen I have already downloaded and install the driver. Can someone help me with the rest please?
[01:33] <rattatoue> NyLes, do you see my private Message?
[01:33] <urfr332gO> tim, you nic when tabbed does not complete. Gentoo is grub legacy your going to have to chroot in and purge that install grub 2 and oad the mbr.
[01:34] <spartan2276> I'n trying to create this file sudo vi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi but when I try to save it I get an error stating that the directory does not exist
[01:34] <urfr332gO> load the mbr that is tim,
[01:34] <spartan2276> can anyone point to the correct directory when I need to save this file
[01:34] <acidrain> ok i have a ubuntu hdd that i have put into a newly bought comp.  i booted from the ubuntu disk, and now it wont connect to the internet.
[01:35] <acidrain> does anyone know what could be causing this problem?
[01:35] <acidrain> its a desktop, and its on a wire. connected straight to router
[01:35] <gener1c> if i have an rpm 64bit driver
[01:35] <gener1c> can i 100% make a deb out of it with alien?
[01:35] <robbie72> urfr332gO: normal ubuntu installation from cd, dedicated hardware etc, no wubi, i had to google to know what it was.
[01:35] <urfr332gO> tim, chroot with a ubuntu cd past 9.10 the install, a cd=to the ubuntu release your running would be ideal.
[01:36] <urfr332gO> robbie72, where on that big of a HD?
[01:36] <acidrain> ive had this issue before. but i forgot how i fixed it
[01:36] <almoxarife> gener1c: yes you should be able to, the docs are a bit confusing for those who dont understand both rpm and deb though
[01:36] <rhobday> What will knowing which wifi card i have do anyways
[01:36] <tlm> urfr332gO: i actually only have one flash drive which has gentoo on it
[01:37] <gener1c> ok thanks almoxarife
[01:37] <rattatoue> acidrain, you could try sudo ifconfig eth0 down and then sudo ifconfig eth0 up in terminal. Sometimes that will reload the connection and pull an IP
[01:37] <acidrain> ive made it as far as ifconfig eth0 saying that i am connected.
[01:37] <acidrain> rattatoue: let me try this
[01:37] <nyles> !tab | rattatoue
[01:37] <urfr332gO> tim, that wont fix it download a ubuntu cd=to the install best tool you can have for that release. Also is this a standard dual boot or a wubi install?
[01:38] <acidrain> rattatoue: still not connecting
[01:38] <almoxarife> gener1c: 'checkinstall' is also an option if you have the 'source'
[01:38] <acidrain> last time, i did some type of manual routing, which i have tried this time to the best of my knowledge
[01:38] <rattatoue> acidrain, when you type ifconfig does it show an IP?
[01:39] <tlm> urfr332gO: any way i can do it manually?  i don't have a cd drive and i don't think i can put something else on the flash drive when that's my only bootable system
[01:39] <robbie72> urfr332gO: the partition the root is on is near the start of the hard drive
[01:39] <robbie72> on the fast bit
[01:39] <acidrain> rattatoue: it will not show unless i manually set the DCHP reservation on the router for <IP_ADDRESS> and then set that ip as my box, but it still wont go online
[01:39] <rattatoue> acidrain, okay one sec
[01:39] <robbie72> urfr332gO: i'm upgrading kernel and rebooting.
[01:40] <robbie72> urfr332gO: i was justing wondering if i needed to be very patient
[01:40] <robbie72> or if anything with DKMS may be involved
[01:40] <robbie72> as a lirc-source was on this box once
[01:40] <spartan2276> Where is the hal directory in Ubuntu 11.10?
[01:40] <urfr332gO> tim, might you imagine that if there was another way I would have mentioned it or another on the channel would?
[01:41] <pnorman> spartan2276: I'm sorry Dave, I can't open the pod bay doors.
[01:41] <tlm> urfr332gO: how about if i installed a newer version of grub?
[01:42] <urfr332gO> tim, how are you going to do that?
[01:42] <tlm> urfr332gO: i appreciate your help, by the way
[01:42] <spartan2276> pnorman, what?
[01:43] <pnorman> spartan2276: what's hal?
[01:43] <acidrain> rattatoue: it now shows inet addr: <IP_ADDRESS>, but its not online, cannot connect to google.com
[01:43] <rhobday> sorry i timed out, but does that help?
[01:43] <urfr332gO> tim, to be honest a install of any distro without access to its live cd or discs is a mistake.
[01:43] <rattatoue> acidrain, okay try this in terminal. Ping <IP_ADDRESS>. And see what it says.
[01:44] <rhobday> ActionParsnip are you there?
[01:44] <spartan2276> pnorman, I'm trying to create a file in the hal directory but I guess this is old and does not apply to 11.10, so I'm trying to find out where I need to create this file sudo vi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: aye
[01:44] <rhobday> it's brand is ralink
[01:44] <rhobday> if that helps
[01:44] <urfr332gO> tim, you only need a 1 gig partition to load the Ubuntu iso to boot to and fix your setup.
[01:44] <pnorman> spartan2276: try doing locate wizardpen
[01:45] <spartan2276> pnorman, so that I can get my G-Pen F610 graphics tablet to work
[01:45] <acidrain> rattatoue: host unreachable
[01:45] <rattatoue> acidrain, okay
[01:45] <rattatoue> acidrain, when you type ifconfig you have a inet addr: right?
[01:45] <pnorman> spartan2276: oh, the file doesn't exist? look somewhere under /usr/share/hal/fdi I think
[01:45] <acidrain> rattatoue: just to be clear, the gateway is my routers ip right?
[01:45] <spartan2276> pnorman, I'm using this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen. So I already built the driver and install it as well
[01:46] <rattatoue> acidrain, yes
[01:46] <tlm> urfr332gO: i could try downloading the latest grub release and installing with this live dvd (it seems i can install programs on it); though i understand it's not ideal...
[01:46] <pnorman> spartan2276: That being said, I don't know what hal or fdi is, I just located it
[01:46] <urfr332gO> !ralink info
[01:46] <acidrain> rattatoue: thats right, but i only have that because i have manually set it.
[01:46] <acidrain> rattatoue: it says im connected, but really im not...
[01:46] <rhobday> these timeouts are annoying
[01:46] <rattatoue> !tab > acidrain
[01:46] <pnorman> spartan2276: also could try doing locate fdi | grep policy
[01:47] <urfr332gO> tim, you will have to chroot in and purge what ever you have done to get this done with grub2.
[01:47] <spartan2276> pnorman, thanks
[01:48] <rhobday> ActionParsnip is there something else you need to know?
[01:48] <rhobday> because i've been at the computer for hours
[01:48] <rhobday> i just want the internet to work
[01:48] <urfr332gO> tim, your just trying to peck at the setup when you have been given what you have to do, your method will not work most likely.
[01:50] <urfr332gO> tim, this is what you have to do with a iso loaded to a thumb or disc burnt, best done with a equal to the install release. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Purge_.26_Reinstall
[01:51] <NyLes> rattatoue: i can't boot now, maybe what i did causes it, i've installed nvidia-96-kernel-source.. im suing lubuntu lol..
[01:52] <rattatoue> NyLes, lol. Umm...
[01:52] <rattatoue> NyLes,  you can boot ubuntu in the single user mode and undo it
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> rhobday:  to peck at the setup when you have
[01:52] <urfr332gO> tim, theonly additional command would be inclusion of apt-get purge grub  to wipe the grub legacy
[01:52] <rhobday> what?
[01:52] <NyLes> rattatoue: single user mode? i don't know how to do it..
[01:52] <crf> Hi, is Ubuntu going to update rygel on Natty?
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: Seems to not even work in windows. Can you use a wired link and get updated
[01:53] <rattatoue> NyLes, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/grub-boot-into-single-user-mode/
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: ralink make a lot of chips
[01:53] <rhobday> ActionParsnip my router is so far away, it would be a bigger hassle
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: is it a USB wifi?
[01:53] <rhobday> it's a card
[01:54] <rhobday> it's a chip/card
[01:54] <rhobday> whatever you want to call it
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: what make and model?
[01:54] <rhobday> it says pnpid
[01:54] <rhobday> do you need that?
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: thats  not useful
[01:54] <rhobday> hm
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: in linux run:  lspci;lsusb
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: copy the output to a text file and put it no your NTFS partition so windows can see it
[01:55] <urfr332gO> tim, anyway I have to boot back to windows to finish some work in Word, goog luck. :)
[01:55] <tlm> urfr332gO: thank you very much -- actually two things occur to me: one is that i do have a 16gb flash drive but in the past i've had trouble booting from it -- do you know if that's a lost cause?
[01:55] <rhobday> what if i run lshw -C network
[01:55] <rhobday> would that work?
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: copy the output to a text file and put it on the NTFS partition, or a usb storage so windows can see it. Then pastebin the text using:  http://pastie.org
[01:56] <NyLes> rattatoue: stuck at Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd
[01:56] <tlm> urfr332gO: ok, thanks very much for the help
[01:56] <rattatoue> NyLes, you might have to reinstall your Ubuntu OS
[01:57] <NyLes> rattatoue: LMAO, ok ok, can you please send to me again the pastebin? i will bookmark it..
[01:57] <rattatoue> NyLes, okay. http://pastebin.com/NAitig4h
[01:58] <rhobday> do i have to install the ralink driver for linux?
[01:58] <NyLes> rattatoue: lesson learned ahaha, do not install nvidia-96-kernel-source when using different variant of lubuntu ahaha, do you think that's really the cause?
[01:58] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: depending on the chip yes
[01:58] <Lesterwood> i just got 3 free pizzas, opinions?
[01:59] <rhobday> the thing is
[01:59] <rhobday> i've connected twice
[01:59] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: give the output of: lspci
[01:59] <rhobday> but it would never connect but thoe two times
[01:59] <rattatoue> NyLes, it might be because you have a lot of different nvidia things installed. Just try that xorg from a default install after the updates first. Remember to backup your old one just incase.
[01:59] <rhobday> lspci;lsusb
[01:59] <rhobday> that?
[02:00] <NyLes> rattatoue: ok sir thanks again..
[02:00] <rhobday> i tried to run it before
[02:00] <NyLes> rattatoue: what can you suggest me to use? Lubuntu or ubuntu? my RAM is 512MB only..
[02:00] <rattatoue> NyLes, welcome and best of luck
[02:00] <rhobday> but it said it was an unknown command
[02:01] <EvilResistance> NyLes, either would work, you might have better luck with Xubuntu, but i'm not sure.  Never used Lubuntu
[02:01] <l3d> been getting this error failed to create config file. please check folder write access privileges?
[02:01] <metasansana> lubuntu is supposed to be lighter than xubuntu
[02:02] <rhobday> ActionParsnip what is the command? lspci;lsusb
[02:02] <rhobday> is it that?
[02:02] <helo1> hello
[02:02] <Lint> NyLes, lxde is fast but barely usable; be ready to write scripts to do anything
[02:02] <NyLes> EvilResistance: Lint thanks.. i might try xubuntu as suggested
[02:03] <EvilResistance> NyLes, Xubuntu, and if that takes up too much RAM, try Lubuntu
[02:03] <rhobday> ActionParsnip i need the command
[02:03] <rhobday> is it lspci, or lspci;lsusb
[02:04] <NyLes> EvilResistance: yeah ill keep hat in mind, Xubuntu 11.10 or 10.04? for a more than 10 year old PC?
[02:04] <acidrain_> wtf hax
[02:04] <rhobday> sorry i keep getting disconnected
[02:04] <Lint> rhobday, it's teo commands separated with ;
[02:05] <acidrain_> im still on that same issue if anyone can help me. i hook computer up to router, and it shows eth1, i disconnect and it removes eth1.  it wont let me connect to eth1. lol
[02:05] <acidrain_> those are the only facts i know
[02:05] <EvilResistance> NyLes, start with 10.04
[02:05] <rhobday> oh
[02:05] <NyLes> EvilResistance: ok thanks again..
[02:05] <acidrain_> can anyone help? or direct me towards a reference

[02:13] <delinquentme> I need to set a JAVA_HOME path
[02:13] <rhobday> ActionParsnip is that what you needed?
[02:14] <Lint> delinquentme, which java
[02:14] <delinquentme> Lint Open JDK 6
[02:15] <itaylor57> delinquentme, not the command which java

[02:15] <Lazerath_alt> hay all
[02:15] <Lazerath_alt> I am having trouble getting the live cd on the net
[02:15] <delinquentme> itaylor57, Lint ... im not really sure? I've got this error when trying to access JAVA_HOME extconf.rb:53: JAVA_HOME is not set. (RuntimeError)
[02:15] <Lazerath_alt> I am pretty sure that i have the settings correct cause i just got this parted magic live cd on the net
[02:16] <itaylor57> delinquentme, the command "which java" should return the java in your path
[02:16] <amt897> hey, I hate to be a wiener, but would someone be able to help me out with partitioning a solid state drive with windows 7 on it in order to move my ubuntu partition onto the same disk?
[02:16] <Lint> delinquentme, also you may try "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk"
[02:17] <delinquentme> itaylor57, check :D  /usr/bin/java perfect
[02:17] <acidrain_> is there anyone who can help me with my connection issue?
[02:17] <rhobday> ActionParsnip i really need help are you there?
[02:19] <Lint> Lazerath_alt, "on the net"?
[02:19] <delinquentme> Lint itaylor57 <3
[02:20] <rhobday> ActionParsnip please tell me you are still here
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: sup
[02:21] <Lint> !patience
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: dude, you keep droping off. I think your adapter is screwed or you are too far from the router
[02:22] <rhobday> everything is running fine but this
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: rt5390 is the chip, lets see what we can find
[02:22] <rhobday> mhm
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: then why do you keep dropping off?
[02:22] <rhobday> i don't know
[02:23] <rhobday> i downloaded the driver on my windows
[02:23] <rhobday> but you are able to access it on ubuntu
[02:23] <RML> Is there a way to recover my thunderbird inbox mail? I deleted them by accident. (don't ask...)
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: http://www.techytalk.info/ubuntu-ppas/ralink-wireless/   there is a handy PPA for Ubuntu
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: needs web access
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: or you can use this:http://atinfinity.wordpress.com/2011/05/21/ralink-rt5390-wi-fi-driver-on-ubuntu-11-04/
[02:24] <aboudreault> hey,, How can I uninstall completly the nouveau driver to install the proprietary one from nvidia? Tried to remove the xserver-xorg..nouveau package, then to blacklist the nouveau module... nothing works
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: the PPA will be much easier
[02:24] <rhobday> i have the driver
[02:24] <amt897> done quite a bit of searching, feel like it might be related to unmoveable files on my ssd...  but does that mean i should defragment?  windows disk partition is only giving me 2ish gigs to shrink my volume by, even though i have 42 gb free
[02:24] <rhobday> i just need to know how to install it
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> aboudreault: if you run:  dpkg -l | grep xorg | grep nouveau    you will see the package name
[02:25] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: that guide shows how you compile the driver
[02:25] <aboudreault> ActionParsnip, yes, I uninstalled it
[02:25] <aboudreault> and rebooted
[02:25] <aboudreault> still thee
[02:25] <aboudreault> when I type lsmod
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> aboudreault: try:  echo "blacklist nouveau" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[02:26] <aboudreault> ActionParsnip, already done that too
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> aboudreault: you can also add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[02:26] <rhobday> if i don't have internet access won't the ppa thing be pointless?
[02:26] <aboudreault> ActionParsnip, the boot option has to be in the blacklist.conf file?
[02:26] <Ben64> rhobday: hook up an ethernet for 5 mins?
[02:27] <rhobday> i would have to move my computer into my moms room
[02:27] <rhobday> but w/e
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> aboudreault: no, boot options go on the kernel
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: the ppa will make it work. You may be able to copy the deb files from the ppa
[02:28] <Obscurity> Hi all, total noob here. I just installed ubuntu in virtualbox, and tried to replace unity with awesome. Instead, I ended up with a blank desktop where all I can do is right-click to "create new folder" to access anything at all...and even it's still unity. Help...?
[02:29] <zowsz> someone could help me ?
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> !away > brkolog_afk
[02:29] <blud> i just added a mode with xrandr to try to set my output to my tv to the correct resolution, but when i switched to it the screen was somewhat rainbow colored and also cropped....
[02:30] <delinquentme> how to list binaries / executables within a dir?
[02:30] <blud> this was the command i used, see anything wrong with it?    xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 127.7 1920 1928 1936 1944 1080 1085 1090 1095
[02:30] <earspliT> HEY i have a question
[02:30] <earspliT> my package installer installed the 3.0.0-16 kernel update
[02:30] <earspliT> and now i can't change the screen brightness on my lappy
[02:30] <earspliT> any ideas?
[02:31] <ActionParsnip> earspliT: what make and model laptop????
[02:32] <delinquentme> it seems that $ ls -d should list *ONLY* directories within a particular dir ???
[02:32] <delinquentme> this isnt happening
[02:32] <sdw1> ,set -f  *
[02:32] <acidrain_> grrr
[02:33] <acidrain_> i need an in depth guide on how to setup the ethernet cable to linux box and make it work
[02:33] <Ben64> step one: insert ethernet cable into jack
[02:33] <ActionParsnip> acidrain_: what, just connecting it to a router via a wired connection?
[02:33] <acidrain_> ActionParsnip: yes
[02:33] <ActionParsnip> acidrain_: just plug it in, dhcp will do its thing and you will be connected
[02:34] <acidrain_> i wish it were that easy lol
[02:34] <Edisto> how do you get the id of a open window
[02:34] <ActionParsnip> acidrain_: assuming the ethernet controller has a driver loaded (commonly it will out of the box)
[02:34] <Lint> Edisto, xprop
[02:34] <ActionParsnip> acidrain_: you may need to run:  sudo dhclient eth0
[02:34] <acidrain_> ActionParsnip: my issue is, i have changed boxes, kept the same hdd. now it doesnt work
[02:35] <acidrain_> ive tried that
[02:35] <Edisto> groovy and what in here tells me the id so i can kill it?
[02:35] <acidrain_> ActionParsnip: i have tried just about everything that is a common thing to try
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> acidrain_: what ethernet chip is it?
[02:35] <Lint> acidrain_, do you have firmware installed?
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> acidrain_: have you tried a different port on the router?
[02:36] <sdw1> what is the oppsite formulation of " set -f *"
[02:36] <acidrain_> how do i determine ethernet chip?
[02:36] <mindlessdream> "The flash plugin was blocked because it is out of date" how can I update it?
[02:36] <bazhang> lspci
[02:36] <blud> anybody know why this results in funky colors on my tv? ->    xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 127.7 1920 1928 1936 1944 1080 1085 1090 1095
[02:36] <Ben64> acidrain_: what happens if you do "ifconfig"
[02:37] <Ben64> blud: your tv might not support that
[02:37] <ActionParsnip> acidrain_: sudo lshw -C network
[02:37] <tintoy> hi everyone
[02:37] <acidrain_> Ben64: it shows eth1 as a network interface
[02:37] <tintoy> can anyone help me?
[02:38] <Ben64> acidrain_: then you probably just need to set up ip address or dhcp or something like that
[02:38] <blud> Ben64: my tv manual says 1920x1080 60hz, my concern is just that theres some error in some of the other numbers in the command i issued?
[02:38] <XuMuK> tintoy: may be, if you say what's up...
[02:38] <acidrain_> ActionParsnip: it does indeed seem to have a network controller
[02:38] <acidrain_> logical name: eth1
[02:38] <tintoy> hi XuMuk
[02:38] <Ben64> acidrain_: try to set ip manually and ping the router or another computer on the network
[02:39] <bazhang> tintoy, ask the question to the channel
[02:39] <acidrain_> Ben64: i have also tried to setup dhcp. i set it to <IP_ADDRESS> with network mask of <IP_ADDRESS> and gateway of router ip <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:39] <tintoy> Can you help me What's the difference between using Ubuntu server 11.04 and Ubuntu Server 10.04.3 LTS ?
[02:39] <acidrain_> Ben64: i also reserved it on the router, at this point, it said it was connected. but it lied
[02:39] <Ben64> blud: where did you get those numbers from
[02:40] <mindlessdream> "The flash plugin was blocked because it is out of date"
[02:40] <XuMuK> tintoy: 10.04 has longer support
[02:40] <netmaniack_> Far as I know LTS have longer support.
[02:40] <blud> 1.00.3
[02:40] <Ben64> blud: ?
[02:40] <XuMuK> tintoy: instead 11.04 has newer packages
[02:40] <sdw1> after i entered 'set -f * ',it can,t explain meta character now ,what should i do
[02:40] <blud> Ben64: i built them based on a guide about how to do it, and the width and height from my tv manual
[02:40] <acidrain_> Ben64: ActionParsnip do you have any other suggested ideas?
[02:41] <very_sad> tintoy: 10.04 has old stuff
[02:41] <mindlessdream> Can anyone please help? "The flash plugin was blocked because it is out of date" is annoying me on chrome
[02:41] <very_sad> 11.04 has newer stuff
[02:41] <PsiKloPx> Split window 1: win#1 - Status window, win#2 - Messages window
[02:41] <netmaniack_> In My opinion the sam eleague as Debian. old, but stable.
[02:41] <bazhang> PsiKloPx, do you have a question
[02:41] <Ben64> acidrain_: try connecting it to a switch and another computer, no router, and setting ip addresses manually
[02:42] <acidrain_> Ben64: explain?
[02:42] <Ben64> blud: because when i do it i get this: Modeline "1920x1080_60.00"  173.00  1920 2048 2248 2576  1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
[02:42] <acidrain_> on the same computer, if i boot from the other hdd, which has windows on it, it works fine
[02:42] <PsiKloPx> sorry....pasted a line in the wrong window!
[02:42] <earspliT> ActionParsnip: Dell SXPS 16
[02:42] <tintoy> XuMuk: which is much better LTS or Release?
[02:42] <mindlessdream> someone? it's an easy question :D
[02:42] <Ben64> acidrain_: linux isn't windows
[02:43] <blud> Ben64: ok i'll try that thanks
[02:43] <acidrain_> Ben64: -.- linux till this day has been epic win.
[02:43] <XuMuK> tintoy: it depends... better for what?
[02:43] <tintoy> Xumuk:I will going to use it as a guest os on my kvm
[02:44] <Ben64> i'd suggest 11.10, the next release is LTS, and 10.04 is getting kind of old
[02:44] <acidrain_> Ben64: does it matter what i enter as the client name on the router?
[02:45] <netmaniack_> As heavy windows user i have to ask. What Linux(Ubuntu) users do in case of programm freeze in full screen? :D
[02:45] <Ben64> acidrain_: i'm not sure what you mean, which is why i suggested a switch
[02:45] <very_sad> netmaniack_: change to tty and fix
[02:45] <very_sad> or ssh in
[02:45] <tintoy> Ben64:What I'm after on 10.04 LTS is the 5 years support. Would that be reasonable to use?
[02:45] <very_sad> and fix
[02:45] <Ben64> netmaniack_: ssh in from phone and fix
[02:45] <zowsz> someone could help me please?
[02:45] <XuMuK> tintoy: I don't know... if you don't need the newer packages i'd suggest 10.04 until next LTS's released as it more stable
[02:45] <very_sad> Hostname: happyDroid2 - OS: Linux <IP_ADDRESS>-g462500f/armv7l - CPU: ARMv7 rev 2 (v7l) - Processes: 119 - Uptime: 2h 11m - Users: 6 - Load Average: 0.28 - Memory Usage: 326.86MB/477.29MB (68.48%) - SD Card Usage: 7.26GB/7.40GB (98.21%)
[02:45] <very_sad> yup
[02:46] <Ben64> tintoy: 5 years is server version, the kernel from 10.04 doesn't support newer hardware
[02:47] <very_sad> 10.04 can use 3.0+
[02:47] <tintoy> Ben64: Thanks so much for that info
[02:47] <very_sad> apt-cache search linux-image....... <IP_ADDRESS> is on lucid's repos
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> very_sad: it won't be supported here if you install a kernel not intended for your release
[02:47] <ch33z> hmm
[02:47] <mindlessdream> Can someone please help me?
[02:47] <Ben64> very_sad: its backport and not supported, like ActionParsnip said
[02:47] <mindlessdream> Or should I make a post
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> !info linux-image-generic lucid
[02:48] <urfr332gO> mindlessdream, have you posted a question that is the protocol?
[02:48] <mindlessdream> yes
[02:48] <very_sad> It's on backports, oh.
[02:48] <very_sad> oh well
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> very_sad: read your sources.list file with regards to the backport repos.

[02:49] <urfr332gO> mindlessdream, chrome is basically 3rd party so not really supported per-say, but you may get help.

[02:50] <ActionParsnip> mindlessdream: can you give a PASTEBIN of the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'      Thanks
[02:51] <rhobday> i think ubuntu hates me
[02:51] <tintoy> XuMuk: I have another question
[02:51] <mindlessdream> no LSB modules are found
[02:51] <mindlessdream> are available*
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> mindlessdream: run the whole lot, copy the text and use http://pastie.org to host it all
[02:52] <very_sad> rhobday: why?
[02:52] <rhobday> I've tried to download things, and everytime i use sudo apt-get install (name) it says it cant find it
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> rhobday: run:  sudo apt-get update    first
[02:52] <rhobday> plus it won't connect to the internet
[02:52] <rhobday> i did
[02:52] <mindlessdream> pastie is down
[02:52] <rhobday> while i was gone
[02:52] <very_sad> pastebin then
[02:52] <mindlessdream> can I use paste.it?
[02:53] <mindlessdream> oh
[02:53] <ActionParsnip> mindlessdream: any pastebin you can get
[02:53] <ActionParsnip> gotta love pastie though
[02:53] <rhobday> i think i might just re-install it later though

[02:55] <tintoy> This is my case, I have setup qemu-kvm in ubuntu server, and I create guest os in 10.04 LTS, my question is this, "Why is it everytime I delete nic in quest os, and recreate it accumulate eth* and never getback to eth0?"
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> mindlessdream: and the output of:  dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[02:55] <very_sad> oh yeah I had that issue tintoy
[02:55] <very_sad> Fuck what did I do again??
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> very_sad: pastie detects mobile browsers and loads fast by loading less guff
[02:56] <amt897> can anyone help me with a partitioning issue?
[02:56] <tintoy> very_sad: what do i need to do in order to return it back to eth0?
[02:56] <pangolin> very_sad: no swearing please
[02:56] <louis__> HIIiiiiiii
[02:56] <mindlessdream> Oh, Actionparsnip, I entered  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' for the first paste bin
[02:56] <mindlessdream> that is two seperate commands/
[02:56] <amt897> having difficulty using gparted...
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> mindlessdream: then run:  sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[02:57] <scientes> amt897, what are you trying to do?
[02:57] <very_sad> tintoy: forgot honestly... ughhhhh trying to remember.
[02:57] <very_sad> sorry :<
[02:57] <tintoy> Please anyone help me. This is my case, I have setup qemu-kvm in ubuntu server, and I create guest os in 10.04 LTS, my question is this, "Why is it everytime I delete nic in quest os, and recreate it accumulate eth* and never getback to eth0?"
[02:57] <zhourui> help
[02:58] <amt897> scientes: so i have a windows 7 installation on a 120 gib SSD drive, no problem.  installed ubuntu on my slave internal drive, no problem.  I want to move my ubuntu partition (or delete/reinstall) onto my solid state drive alongside my windows partition
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> amt897: could use dd or rsync
[02:58] <amt897> however, I've tried partitioning in both gparted and windows disk manager to shrink my ntfs partition on the ssd (I have 42 gb free), and each time it doesn't let me shrink by any more than 2 gb.
[02:58] <scientes> well 1. you have to do this from a liveCD amt897
[02:59] <amt897> doing it from a usb stick ubuntu pendrive
[02:59] <scientes> then 2. resize windows partition, resize down linux partition, copy linux partition, resize linux partition to max size
[02:59] <scientes> also you should probably have a swap partition on the SSD
[02:59] <amt897> actionparsnip: what are those?
[02:59] <scientes> then thats the end of gparted
[02:59] <amt897> yeah, i have a 200 mb swap partition, sorry.
[03:00] <XuMuK> scientes: swap on ssd? too expensive I guess...
[03:00] <amt897> right-- i try to use gparted.  it only gives me 2 gb or so to shrink the partition by
[03:00] <very_sad> hrm tintoy, hold on
[03:00] <blud> Ben64: that made my tv flicker like crazy and be completely messed up :o
[03:00] <scientes> then you 3. mount the new linux root- mount /dev/sdgajgsea /mnt; cd /mnt; mount -t proc proc proc; mount --bind /dev dev; mount -t sysfs sysfs sys; chroot . /bin/su
[03:01] <XuMuK> only / and /boot should be placed on ssd, the rest is fine where it is
[03:01] <tintoy> very_sad: ok I'll wait for your answer.
[03:01] <amt897> it works perfectly fine as-is.  there's just something very elegant about having both of my OSes on the same drive
[03:01] <very_sad> tintoy: boot ubuntu then remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[03:01] <scientes> then you 4. sensible-editor /etc/fstab (use output of `blkid`); then update-grub; install-grub /dev/fhdjakgesabuiesa (without a number)
[03:01] <scientes> and then you are done amt897
[03:02] <scientes> do you got all that
[03:02] <very_sad> then reboot and it will regenerate
[03:02] <scientes> ???
[03:02] <raven20> hey...does anybody know of any good music sites to get music for my computer..i have the latest version of ubuntu, just got everything all set up this morning...please help?!
[03:02] <amt897> scientes: I do, however, I'm still stuck way back at step 2.  I'm in a pendrive ubuntu environment, i run gparted.
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> amt897: data copying commands, look into both. i'd go for rsync if i had to use it. personally i'd just clean install
[03:02] <scientes> make sure your windows and linux partitions are unmounted
[03:03] <scientes> the other, less featurful partitionier is palimpsest amt897
[03:03] <amt897> nothing mounted at the moment, just the pen drive
[03:03] <amt897> gparted tells me, out of my 111.59 gib ntfs partition, that I can make a max size of 114271 mib shrink partition.  and it won't actually let me click the resize/move button.
[03:04] <zowsz> ??
[03:05] <acidrain_> does anyone have any final suggestions for me before i give up on making ubuntu connect through ethernet?
[03:05] <XuMuK> ActionParsnip: dd isn't copying data but devices and bloks
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> XuMuK: it'll do it though. The files will get copied
[03:06] <amt897> scientes: any experience with this phenomenon?  literally the only operation gparted allows me to do is copy the partition or extend it by 1 mb.
[03:06] <raven20> anybody know any good music sites??
[03:06] <savid> Help!  I've updated my input drivers (dkms) and now my keyboard won't work.  I need to revert to the kernel that came with the livecd,  but the dpkg script overwrote my initrd image.   Is there a way to get back the initrd from my lived?
[03:07] <XuMuK> raven20: and what ind of relationship has your question with ubuntu? o?O
[03:07] <amt897> i feel like i'm missing something obvious.  could it be that since you don't defrag ssds that the immovable system files are scattered now, preventing a large partition resize?
[03:08] <b1ckh3art> hey anyone can help me i am trying to run compiz on xfce but it is running on gnome 3 also can anyone tell how to make compiz to startup exclusivily with xfce not with  gnome3

[03:08] <halt_> hi everyone
[03:09] <b1ckh3art> help please
[03:09] <halt_> in need a help with the cdpr package did anyone use it before ?
[03:09] <blud> Ben64: for example, i'd like to try a lower resolution that is still 16:9
[03:09] <urfr332gO> !help > b1ckh3art
[03:09] <zwzx-user> 没想到这么多在用LINUX HI大家好！
  I found this though:  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Multiple_OS_Installation#Using_Shrink_Volume_on_Vista_and_Windows_7
[03:12] <Invader> *sorry
[03:12] <blumonkey> how could i install unetbootin from 11.10 to ubuntu 10.04
[03:12] <halt_> cdpr -u server.conf      how is this conf file look like
[03:12] <scientes> amt897, are you using a recent ubuntu for the flash drive?
[03:12] <blumonkey> i think i need the newer version of unetbootin
[03:12] <amt897> 11.10
[03:12] <amt897> recent enough I'd think
[03:12] <urfr332gO> blumonkey, unetbootin I think is in the repos.
[03:12] <scientes> blumonkey, you should always use the most recent version
[03:13] <scientes> blumonkey, but yeah that is a way to do an upgrade
[03:13] <urfr332gO> blumonkey, sudo apt-get install unetbootin in a terminal.
[03:13] <blumonkey> yes but the software package i dont think contains the latest version
[03:13] <blumonkey> because linuxcoin is not in the drop down of unetbootin
[03:13] <XuMuK> blumonkey: You can't... or install what it offers from repos or get it from svn/bzr or compile it youself
[03:13] <urfr332gO> blumonkey, down load it from them directly if that is true.
[03:14] <amt897> scientes:  the guide advises defragging the disk.  it is, however, a ssd.  is it worth defragging, even though it'd decrease the lifetime?
[03:15] <rumpe1> amt897, don't defrag ssds!
[03:15] <OffGridOps> 11.10:  is there a way to install a different version and save my data on the harddrive (pix, docs, etc) or do i need to dump them on a stick?  thanx
[03:15] <scientes> gparted doesn't need a defraged volume in current versions, it knows how to relocate stuff
[03:15] <savid> Does anyone know how to restore a kernel from the lived?   My kbd  o
[03:15] <scientes> so thats not the problem
[03:15] <urfr332gO> blumonkey, it is not in my version in oneiric, you can download their iso though and use unetbootin to load a usb.
[03:15] <savid> Fffffuuuuuuu
[03:15] <scientes> savid, what are your symptoms
[03:15] <scientes> savid, its probably grub that you need to reinstall
[03:16] <rumpe1> amt897, SSDs automatically use fragmentation a lot, but that's not an issue. They don't have to swing around mechanical elements.
[03:16] <XuMuK> OffGridOps: yes, if you have /home in separate partition
[03:16] <scientes> amt897, defraging a SSD is idiotic, as they use a FTL inside them
[03:16] <scientes> so they are already fragmented
[03:16] <savid> scientes,  I updated my kbd drivers using a dkms deb pkg and kbd no longer works
[03:17] <scientes> kbd, as in Keyboard?
[03:17] <OffGridOps> XuMuK, i'm not sure if i do.  i installed 11.10 and just started using it---nothing special on the orig install
[03:17] <amt897> scientes:  okay, cool.  the other advice they give is...  close all programs in memory (shouldn't be an issue in pendrive ubuntu), run windows disk cleanup, and "Disable pagefile, kernel memory dump, system restore and hibernation"
[03:17] <savid> scientes, I need to restore the initrd that was installed by the original lived
[03:17] <scientes> well hibernate and swap files is still an issue amt897
[03:17] <XuMuK> savid: type this ls /boot/ -lat and look if there are more than one images left
[03:17] <urfr332gO> scientes, gparted will not move the unmovable paging files in a windows setup correctly, generally causes breakage.
[03:17] <scientes> but that really shouldn't mattter when you have 120 GB amgarching
[03:17] <scientes> *amt
[03:17] <rumpe1> amt897, it's much more important to not use their full capacity. Otherwise it will reduce it's lifetime. Read some tutorials about SSDs.
[03:17] <XuMuK> savid: upside go the newer ones
[03:18] <EvilResistance>  /nickinfo PennBot
[03:18] <EvilResistance> oops
[03:18] <EvilResistance> sorry
[03:18] <savid> XuMuk,  huh?
[03:18] <amt897> rumpel:  right, I know.  basically, my issue is that even though 42 of 111 gb are free, gparted and/or windows are not letting me shrink my partition down
[03:18] <scientes> savid, oh, just chroot and then use dkms, man dkms
[03:18] <XuMuK> savid: ls /boot/ -lat what does it show?
[03:18] <amt897> scientes: exactly, with 42 gb free, it shouldn't be an issue...
[03:18] <urfr332gO> amt897, what version of Windows?
[03:19] <scientes> amt897, holy bejeebus, how did you use up 80 GB of a SSD?
[03:19] <amt897> windows 7, 64 bit
[03:19] <scientes> I guess its windows........
[03:19] <amt897> ^
[03:19] <savid> scientes,  use dkms to do what?
[03:19] <urfr332gO> amt897, W7 has a virtual partitioner use it.
[03:19] <rumpe1> amt897, can you describe your partition layout a bit more detailed?
[03:19] <scientes> savid, remove the modules you added--you can't just restore an old initrd as there is a differn't one for each minor kernel version
[03:19] <scientes> because they contain modules
[03:20] <Gracenotes> hi... got some recording troubles. I'm on a Thinkpad T420, with single duplex input/output 1/8" audio jack. How can I configure the sound preferences so Audacity records with that rather than the built-in mic?
[03:20] <amt897> okay, so my ssd is a 120 GiB Intel drive.  200 MB partition for system, the C: partition is 111.59 GB; 42ish gb free.
[03:20] <amt897> I would like to shrink that free space by 20 GB or so and install Ubuntu there.
[03:20] <scientes> geeze, though why does windows need so much damn expensive space
[03:21] <rumpe1> amt897, you want to shrink free space? .. .That doesn't make any sense.
[03:21] <helpmeASAP> How much memory do I need to make a virtual machine with a lubuntu host?
[03:21] <XuMuK> scientes: he could point grub to older ones
[03:21] <blumonkey> i downloaded unetbootin-linux-565 from sourceforge but it says i need to open with an application, send to: where would i send this
[03:21] <urfr332gO> amt897, use the W7 Disk manager I believe it is called, run from admin.
[03:21] <scientes> XuMuK, does dkms only rebuild current versions?
[03:21] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: what OS is the guest?
[03:21] <rumpe1> amt897, ah, i get it. You want to shrink C: (?)
[03:21] <scientes> blumonkey, sudo apt-get install unetbootin
[03:21] <OffGridOps> XuMuK, found the info thanx
[03:21] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: or do you mean how much ram should you assign to the guest?
[03:21] <amt897> yessir, rumpel
[03:22] <scientes> blumonkey, also, unetbootin on linux isn't the best supported software, what are you trying to do?
[03:22] <helpmeASAP> ActionParnip: any guest capable of using OpenVPN I hope. and safe. must be Linux
[03:22] <XuMuK> scientes: I think it creates new image and initrd
[03:22] <amt897> urfr332g0: i'll open it up now
[03:22] <scientes> XuMuK, uhhhhh, it obviously doesn't create a new image, as that would be a kernel compile--doesn't dound like you...
[03:22] <savid> scientes,  I see.  I'll try that.  Thanks.
[03:22] <helpmeASAP> ActionParsnip: No, I mean how many RAM should my computer have to have a virtual machine run smoothly. Host lubuntu
[03:22] <scientes> the question is whether is only changes the current initrd, or old ones
[03:22] <scientes> as well
[03:23] <urfr332gO> amt897, that is the best way to go, your set up may not mess with the paging files but using the onboard is safer.
[03:23] <urfr332gO> setup=what you want to do.
[03:23] <rumpe1> amt897, you should be able to shrink the windows-partition if windows isn't still in some kind of hibernation mode. You can't use windows because it can't shrink a partition it is running from.
[03:24] <amt897> urfr332g0: the windows disk manager only lets me shrink my C: partition by 539 mb now (varies depending upon what's chilling in memory)
[03:24] <urfr332gO> rumpe1, not true windows 7 can resize a running setup.
[03:24] <blumonkey> scientes_ when im not using my computer i wanted to boot from usb into linuxcoin to mine bitcoins for fun
[03:24] <thevaliantx> what can i do to make my wireless internet to work again?  i looked at "Additional Drivers" and it says that the Broadcom STA driver is activated but not currently in use.
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: so the host is lubuntu and the guest is lubuntu? Is that correct?
[03:24] <rumpe1> urfr332gO, virtual partitions? ... Doesn't like a good idea to me. (imho)
[03:24] <amt897> rumpe1: I also tried by rebooting from windows and booting into a live CD without mounting any other partitions.  gparted had a similar problem to disk manager now.
[03:25] <helpmeASAP> ActionParsnip: Yes I suppose
[03:25] <urfr332gO> amt897, probaly due to where stuff is on the ssd especially the paging file, if you brute force it with gparted you will likely break it, do a backup image first.
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: lubuntu's minimal ram is 256Mb, so 512Mb as a BARE minimum. I'd go for at least 1Gb to be safe
[03:25] <urfr332gO> rumpe1, Because you are not familiar with it.
[03:25] <urfr332gO> probably*
[03:26] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: personally I try and max out the RAM in a PC. RAM is stupidly cheap
[03:26] <helpmeASAP> ActionParsnip: but what about CPU? duo core 1.8Hz is capale?
[03:26] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: will be ok
[03:26] <nimbiotics> what program can I use to record my screen, microphone & speakers?
[03:26] <amt897> O
[03:26] <amt897> I'm starting to get the feeling this isn't worth doing
[03:26] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: lubuntu is super light so you can get away with less :)
[03:27] <helpmeASAP> ActionParsnip: OK thanks!
[03:27] <savid> scientes,  OK I removed hid-apple and bcm5973,  now my kb and my mouse won't work.
[03:27] <urfr332gO> rumpe1, your more likely to break a windows setup if you move the unmovable paging and other stuff, that is why it is advised to do a defragg of evrything to the front and not move the partition with data in that area.
[03:27] <XuMuK> nimbiotics: recordmydesktop-gtk && cheese
[03:28] <helpmeASAP> Anyone here know how to lock screen on OS lubuntu? I know Ubuntu have that option but what about lubuntu?
[03:28] <nimbiotics> XuMuK: and how do i mix audio from speakers & mic?
[03:28] <urfr332gO> rumpe1, the shrink of a area holding data in general especially imovable data like the paging.
[03:28] <Firebolt> helpmeASAP, ctrl+alt+l might work?
[03:28] <nicknefarious> Hi all - I have a couple of questions regarding network manager and configs.
[03:28] <helpmeASAP> Firebolt: Nope, tried that many times already
[03:29] <adhikari> how do i install phigs, gtk or phigs++ library in ubuntu
[03:29] <urfr332gO> helpmeASAP, Isn't there a lock icon on the bottom panel?
[03:29] <XuMuK> nimbiotics: no idea... I know that cheese grabs video&audio
[03:29] <savid> UGH I just need to get my old kernel back
[03:29] <XuMuK> but how to mix them - don't know
[03:29] <psusi> adhikari, the same way you install anything.. software center, synaptic, apt-get, etc...
[03:29] <helpmeASAP> urfr332gO: none! none lock options below for lubuntu
[03:29] <nimbiotics> XuMuK: problem is noen of them lets me mix spkrs & mic
[03:30] <nicknefarious> When I open a terminal and ping www.google.com the action it perfroms is PING www.l.google.com - is this a DNS problem?
[03:30] <savid> scientes, is there no way to get to the original initrd from within the lived?
[03:30] <adhikari> but i don't know the code to install it. psusi
[03:30] <psusi> nicknefarious, it isn't a problem
[03:30] <amt897> scientes, rumpe1, urfr332g0:  thanks for your help.  I'm gonna table this for now, maybe come back to it this weekend.
[03:30] <nicknefarious> Why does it do it?
[03:30] <scientes> savid, just boot from an earlier kernel
[03:30] <helpmeASAP> Anyone know if best virtual machine? VMWare or VirtualBox or is there better??????
[03:31] <psusi> adhikari, open synaptic, find package, click install?
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: there is no best, or better
[03:31] <savid> scientes, I wish it were that easy.   The dkms pkg over wrote the kernel.   It makes
[03:31] <XuMuK> helpmeASAP: yes, kvm, but it's not so easu to setup
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: if one was outright best, the other would not get used
[03:31] <psusi> helpmeASAP, I just use qemu-kvm and lately have been experimenting with xen
[03:32] <urfr332gO> helpmeASAP, if you google the screen lock there is lots of info. :)
[03:32] <scientes> savid, it overwrote the initrd, you could chroot into the target system, and then remove the dkms package, which will remove the modules and rebuild the initrd
[03:32] <helpmeASAP> how to install kvm?!! that the Linux version right?
[03:32] <adhikari> psusi but there is no package containing phigs
[03:32] <scientes> you can't manually change modules cause it doesn't rebuild the initrd, which is where the problem is happening
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> !kvm | helpmeASAP
[03:32] <halt_> did anyone used the cdpr package ?
[03:32] <truexfan81> is there anyway to get the xfdesktop 4.8 package on lucid?  i upgraded to xfce 4.8 but that one package seems to be unavailable. without it have no xfce menu
[03:32] <adhikari> i am talking about this library
[03:32] <scientes> helpmeASAP, use virt-manager
[03:32] <sacarlson> nicknefarious: it's google redirection, they sense your location and provide an address depending on where they see you are located
[03:32] <savid> scientes,  you mean remove dkms via apt-get?
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> truexfan81: there may be a ppa
[03:32] <scientes> savid, while in a chroot of the target system
[03:32] <scientes> !chroot
[03:32] <nicknefarious> psusi Can you explain why it does it?
[03:33] <urfr332gO> helpmeASAP, your just asking random questions look at the channel and freenode policy they ask you to do some of this yourself via the web. :)
[03:33] <truexfan81> i've been googling for one, so far i haven't found it, thats why i'm on here asking
[03:33] <psusi> adhikari, then you'll have to google for a ppa or get the source and build it yourself
[03:33] <psusi> nicknefarious, because google has many servers
[03:34] <savid> scientes, remove and reinstall, or just remove?
[03:34] <nicknefarious> psusi sure so this isn't an example of DNS poisoning (I am in China)
[03:34] <sacarlson> nicknefarious: you can use dig google.com to get more details on there dns configs
[03:34] <psusi> nicknefarious, they use dns CNAME records for www to alias it to many different servers
[03:34] <scientes> savid, unless you need dkms for something, like propritary drivers, just remove
[03:34] <savid> Ok
[03:34] <scientes> its mainly nvidia, fglrx, and broadcom wireless AFAIK
[03:35] <halt_> cdpr cdpr cdpr cdpr cdpr comeon someone...
[03:35] <scientes> FOSS drivers get merged into the kernel
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> scientes: some other drivers use it, but its the same ilk as broadcom nvidia etc
[03:35] <scut> maybe some one is using rackspace hosting?
[03:35] <psusi> nicknefarious, hrm.. actually, I get www.l.google.com too ( and I'm in the US ), and it sweems to be pointing to dfw06s16-in-f20.1e100.net.... odd
[03:36] <halt_> scut i now a better hosting solution do not use rackspace :D
[03:36] <halt_> i mean i know scut
[03:36] <NyLes> !fbdev
[03:37] <bazhang> !ot | scut halt_
[03:37] <nicknefarious> psusi Can you tell me where the address for the name server comes from in /etc/resolv.conf comes from and what is it's purpose
[03:37] <bazhang> NyLes, /msg ubottu please
[03:37] <XuMuK> nicknefarious: and I get   mad01s03-in-f10.1e100.net (Spain), but they are all google servers
[03:37] <psusi> nicknefarious, it either comes from you putting it there, or was automatically configured via DHCP... it is the address of a DNS server to use
[03:38] <savid> scientes, its saying "E: The package hid-dkms needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it"
[03:38] <d-snutz> is it possible to increase base memory for guest OS in virtualbox?  im running out of space :)
[03:38] <nicknefarious> psusi So can I substitute them for OPEN DNS Addresses?
[03:38] <d-snutz> Thanks!
[03:38] <psusi> nicknefarious, sure
[03:38] <scientes> savid, then remove the packages that depend on it
[03:38] <halt_> i got it | bazhand ubottu
[03:38] <XuMuK> nicknefarious: yes, you could
[03:38] <scientes> like apt-get remove hid-dkms
[03:38] <NyLes> can someone tell me what does module fbdev do?
[03:38] <Yaah> no
[03:38] <savid> Oh, sry I was using apt instead of dpkg
[03:38] <Yaah> I couldn't possably
[03:38] <Yaah> hmm
[03:39] <scientes> NyLes, thats not a modules, thats a xserver driver for kernel framebuffers
[03:39] <bazhang> Yaah, ubuntu support issue?
[03:39] <scientes> NyLes, /dev/fb0, /dev/fb1, etc
[03:39] <Yaah> yes where can I download AIM for linux
[03:39] <Yaah> other than pidgin
[03:39] <nicknefarious> psusi So what controls DNS lookups - I have a setting in my router where I identify OPEN DNS servers, if it is also configured in resolv.conf which one prevails?
[03:39] <scientes> Yaah, pidgin or empathy
[03:39] <bazhang> Yaah, you cannot
[03:39] <very_sad> aim........
[03:39] <bazhang> Yaah, try empathy
[03:39] <very_sad> seriously?
[03:39] <Yaah> k
[03:39] <very_sad> It's 2012, grow up
[03:39] <scientes> Yaah, empathy is the new default, not pidgin anymore
[03:40] <bazhang> very_sad, no need for the editorializing/name-calling
[03:40] <XuMuK> empathy sucks
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> Yaah: empathy and kopete do it
[03:40] <scientes> XuMuK, why?
[03:40] <very_sad> bazhang: meh
[03:40] <bazhang> very_sad, pardon?
[03:40] <scientes> like of buddy pounce and OTR?
[03:40] <scientes> *lack
[03:40] <XuMuK> scientes: my opinion)
[03:40] <d-snutz> virtualbox question on base memory
[03:40] <halt_> guys is it true ?  nobody use cdpr ? (cisco discovery protocol )
[03:40] <very_sad> bazhang: kinda bored here waiting for my question, nothing else to do, meh...
[03:41] <d-snutz> anyone know about VB
[03:41] <bazhang> very_sad, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic or check askubuntu.com while you wait
[03:41] <jamms> @scientes i use imo.im in chrome for a multi platform im. i suggest that.
[03:41] <bazhang> d-snutz, ask a vbox question then
[03:41] <very_sad> why?
[03:41] <very_sad> I rather wait here
[03:41] <scientes> jamms, juck
[03:41] <very_sad> it was asked 2 hours ago
[03:42] <very_sad> might as well stick it out
[03:42] <savid> scientes,  OK, so after removal just reboot?
[03:42] <bazhang> very_sad, thats fine. just no need to add to the noise with random commentary.
[03:42] <urfr332gO> halt_, not supported here. :)
[03:42] <scientes> savid, did you see it rebuild the initrd?
[03:42] <wrektjet> ok this is going to sound ridiculous but i am taking this class on python and i would like to open a python interpreter on ubuntu to do homework how do i do that
[03:42] <scientes> it should have said something during the removal
[03:42] <very_sad> meh...
[03:42] <d-snutz> bazhang: is it possible to increase the size of your base memory for a gues OS?
[03:42] <psusi> wrektjet, open a terminal and type "python"
[03:42] <acidrain__> does anyone think that if i reformat this harddrive with ubuntu 11.10 that it will fix th e issue of me not being able to connect to ethernet?
[03:42] <savid> scientes, no, it didn't
[03:42] <daleharvey> hey, can I remove the launcher completely, I would like it to pop up when I press Super, but otherwise I would like to never see it
[03:43] <daleharvey> I am on a fresh copy of 11.10
[03:43] <urfr332gO> acidrain__, what is the card chip?
[03:43] <wrektjet> psusi, thank you
[03:43] <shawn_> hello world
[03:43] <Yaah> hey
[03:43] <acidrain__> urfr332gO: how do i find out what card chip it is?
[03:43] <bazhang> Yaah, yes?
[03:43] <Yaah> I installed the Empathy where would it be located at
[03:43] <acidrain__> could of sworn ive already been through this. lol
[03:43] <Yaah> im on ubuntu
[03:43] <Firebolt> Are there any server isos of ubuntu that are less than 512mb?
[03:43] <d-snutz> bazhang: did you copy that?
[03:43] <helpmeASAP> Help me ASAP!!! After I installed QEmu, do I need to install KQEmu????
[03:44] <tensorpudding> Yaah, where would what be located?
[03:44] <urfr332gO> acidrain__, lspci in the terminal will give a list of stuff find the ethernet/wifi part and post it.
[03:44] <Yaah> the Empathy
[03:44] <bazhang> d-snutz, did you set it to expandable when you created the machine?
[03:44] <Yaah> the icon
[03:44] <halt_> urfr332g0  :( when i do not know anything i ask man when man is not enoght clear i ask google if the google do not kno then i'm login it here, but if you guys do not know this is the end of the word
[03:44] <Yaah> I clicked it
[03:44] <Yaah> where is teh download directory for ubuntu
[03:44] <Yaah> ?
[03:44] <Yaah> the*
[03:44] <FloodBot1> Yaah: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:44] <acidrain__> urfr332gO: well im actually booting win7 right now. im going to see if win7 will pwnzor linux
[03:44] <very_sad> Ohh floodbot does it!
[03:44] <very_sad> <3 floodbot
[03:44] <tensorpudding> Yaah, downloads are put in your home directory subdirectory Downloads
[03:44] <urfr332gO> Yaah, you mean the repo list?
[03:45] <d-snutz> bazhang: yeah i think so
[03:45] <NyLes> scientes: oh thanks..
[03:45] <bazhang> Yaah, try alt f2 empathy
[03:45] <d-snutz> bazhang: whatever the default was
[03:45] <acidrain__> win7 is in epic fail right now because its been "preparing your desktop" for about 15min lol
[03:45] <tensorpudding> Yaah, empathy comes with ubuntu, it'll appear in the applications menu, click it and it'll start
[03:45] <Firebolt> I'd like to make a bootable usb stick, but the stick I have is only 512mb
[03:46] <bazhang> Firebolt, thats not going to do it
[03:46] <nicknefarious> Is there some way to compact mounted drives into one widget/icon on the Unity Dock?
[03:46] <urfr332gO> acidrain__, you might try the ##windows channel for finding the card when using W7.
[03:46] <scut> ubuntu 11.10 still has no decent fallback to classical gnome?
[03:46] <savid> scientes, is there a way to manually rebuild initrd?
[03:46] <miaoge> yes
[03:46] <bazhang> !notunity | scut
[03:47] <Firebolt> bazhang, ubuntu has no netinst availible like debian?
[03:47] <urfr332gO> scut, no only the fallback gnome 2 sort of like.
[03:47] <scientes> Firebolt, it does
[03:47] <primenumber> @search downton abbey
[03:47] <scientes> !d-i
[03:47] <primenumber> sorry
[03:47] <bazhang> Firebolt, the mini installer?
[03:48] <scut> bazhang, its still ugly and works like a disaster with compiz
[03:48] <primenumber> I just installed Cinnamon - it's great! Stable and like Gnome 2 with some nice Gnome 3 eye candy.
[03:48] <thevaliantx> ubuntu 11.10 is ugly, sorry to say.  i wonder what the next installment will look like.  it 'seems' that years ago there was more innovation amongst the various distros, window managers 'seemed' to look nicer than they do now.  now everything seems very similar across the board, it's getting stagnant.
[03:49] <bazhang> thevaliantx, thats not a support question
[03:49] <savid> scientes,  is it update-initramfs?
[03:49] <CarlFK> "To get started with Google+ Hangouts, first install the Google Voice and Video Plugin"   is there a PPA or something packagy?
[03:49] <bazhang> CarlFK, launchpad has a search ppa page
[03:50] <CarlFK> bazhang: I have heard of that... URL?
[03:50] <sephthir> Does anyone know how I might get ahold of someone involved in the #ubuntu-iso channel, since it appears that no one is ever in it? I believe it is the place I would need to ask my question.
[03:50] <scut> thevaliantx, maybe unity would be a good thing if you could move that shit unity panel from left side
[03:50] <urfr332gO> thevaliantx, your about the millionth person to address it is off topi.
[03:50] <halt_> can someone figure out how to use this  /usr/share/doc/cdpr/README.cdprs
[03:50] <Firebolt> scientes, any links to the netinst installs then?
[03:50] <bazhang> scut, no cursing here
[03:50] <scientes> savid, that sounds good
[03:50] <Firebolt> I need it for a server version
[03:50] <thevaliantx> bazhang sure it's not, but it's a valid concern, and i dare to say that most of the comments in here are either support questions that never get answered, rude comments or just general opinions such as mine ;)
[03:50] <scientes> Firebolt, I don't think there is an iso for it, you have to use the initrd + uImage netboot images, or the ubuntu-core builds
[03:51] <Firebolt> awww, I guess I'll need to find my blank CDs then
[03:51] <bazhang> thevaliantx, no, this channel is not for that, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:51] <thevaliantx> scut i agree, we'll see how long it lasts.
[03:51] <psusi> Firebolt, netinst is netinst... there aren't different versions for server or desktop
[03:52] <halt_> how offen can i ask the same ?
[03:52] <urfr332gO> scut, the panel can be moved to the bottom there is info on the web.
[03:52] <scientes> yuck, I use debian for servers
[03:52] <scut> urfr332gO, and it crashes like 20 times per 1 hours on 64 bit platform
[03:52] <scientes> scut, what does?
[03:53] <psusi> Firebolt, server vs desktop makes no sense for netinst
[03:53] <urfr332gO> halt_, your question is not within the channels support. :)
[03:53] <urfr332gO> scut, have you tweaked compiz?
[03:53] <Firebolt> scientes, I prefer debian, but this is for a friend -- he's asked me to prepare a server for him
[03:53] <scut> scientes, moved to another side unity panel on 64 bit platform
[03:53] <Firebolt> psusi, no matter than
[03:53] <Firebolt> *then
[03:53] <thevaliantx> how can i get ALL of the related wireless drivers off my system?  i am trying to use Ubuntu Software Centre to do the task but it's aborting.
[03:53] <scientes> scut, well thats unity for ya (just my opinion)
[03:54] <ActionParsnip> scut: there is a PPA to move it to the bottom, there is a ppa for it
[03:54] <thevaliantx> http://pastebin.com/Rq2wpGxR
[03:54] <ActionParsnip> scut: check omgubuntu
[03:54] <scientes> Firebolt, if he needs you to set up his server he probably doesn't need aserver
[03:54] <savid> scientes,  that did it!  Thanks for the help!
[03:54] <scut> ActionParsnip, i moved to xubuntu after ubuntu innovations, and im kinda happy
[03:54] <nicknefarious> Can anyone tell me if there is a widget/icon or other way of unifying all mounted drives under one icon/widget in the Unity Dock? I want to access them from there but don't want five mounted drives hogging real estate...
[03:54] <ActionParsnip> scut: many have
[03:55] <halt_> urfr332g0 can you recommend other chanel where someone can anwer ?
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> scut: i use LXDE and have done for ages now. I dip into Unity2D just to see whats new
[03:55] <urfr332gO> nicknefarious, if you check omgubuntu I belive there is a icon for that that is available for the top panel in unuty.
[03:55] <urfr332gO> unity*
[03:56] <thevaliantx> ActionParsnip, sometimes i wonder if going with a non-glitzy window manager would be the cure to my woes.  i can't be the only fool who's attracted to eye candy on the desk top.  i need to be productive :)
[03:56] <urfr332gO> halt_, for proprietary cisco, ##linux not sure really.
[03:56] <Firebolt> scientes, poorly phrased, but whatever -- thanks for the help
[03:57] <scientes> Firebolt, I was poorly phrased?
[03:57] <pial316> hello
[03:57] <scientes> or you...
[03:57] <nicknefarious> urfr332gO Cheers... I'll take a look
[03:57] <pial316> i need help
[03:57] <urfr332gO> halt_, lol there is a #cicsco channel 477 user.
[03:57] <pial316> i need help
[03:57] <urfr332gO> #cisco
[03:58] <pial316> can any one help me??
[03:58] <ActionParsnip> thevaliantx: there are plenty of desktops to try, explore a little then choose one :)
[03:58] <urfr332gO> halt_, ^^^
[03:58] <pial316> anyone there?
[03:58] <halt_> cdpr is an ubuntu package wich is talking with ciso device so it's this is why i stared here
[03:58] <Firebolt> no, I was, scientes
[03:58] <bazhang> pial316, whats the issue
[03:58] <dxtrpn> I've never done IRC before.
[03:58] <ActionParsnip> pial316: you can clearly see people chating, so YES people are here
[03:58] <XuMuK> pial316: can you say what's your problem?
[03:59] <pial316> i'm trying to install Edge modem...
[03:59] <pial316> i'm using Ylmf OS
[03:59] <halt_> http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/cdpr
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> pial316: not supported here
[03:59] <urfr332gO> nicknefarious, no problem there is a hd lister icon not sure of the name it is a ppa or a third party not sure which.
[03:59] <pial316> y?
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> pial316: you aren't using ubuntu
[04:00] <pial316> its detecting as CD rom
[04:00] <pial316> then i tried usb_modeswitch
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> pial316: your distro isnt supported here#
[04:00] <pial316> can any one help me to fix this problem
[04:01] <pial316> i am a newbie in linux
[04:01] <filippov> privet
[04:01] <filippov> russia
[04:01] <bazhang> pial316, ylmfos is not supported here
[04:01] <pial316> oh
[04:01] <bazhang> filippov, #ubuntu-ru
[04:01] <halt_> urf332g0 thx anyway i will try the cisco chanel with real low hope..
[04:01] <XuMuK> filippov: /join #ubuntu-ru
[04:01] <pial316> but isn't it a linux os?
[04:01] <filippov> а как туда попасть?
[04:02] <bazhang> pial316, yes, but this is Ubuntu only
[04:02] <bazhang> filippov, english here
[04:02] <XuMuK> pial316: it is, but it's not supported anymore
[04:02] <bazhang> filippov, /join #ubuntu-ru
[04:02] <scut> ActionParsnip, its actually based on 10.04 ubuntu, so its supported
[04:02] <pial316> what are the differences between ubuntu and ylmf?
[04:02] <bazhang> scut, thats not right
[04:02] <XuMuK> filippov: скопируй что я написал и нажми интер
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> scut: NONE of the 'ubuntu based' distros are supported here
[04:02] <bazhang> pial316, one is all Chinese and not supported here
[04:03] <pial316> oh
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> pial316: one is ubuntu (supported here), the other is an ubuntu spinoff (not supported here)
[04:03] <pial316> then YLMF is a chinese os
[04:03] <pial316> right?
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> pial316: no idea
[04:03] <thevaliantx> ActionParsnip, exploring got me into trouble, lol  i was inferring that chasing a Mac fantasy is a waste of time.  like going to a topless bar.  she can dance on top, on the bottom, to the left or right, rotate and flip, and even clone herself. in the end, though, she requires high maintenance and the ROI isn't very good.
[04:03] <filippov> спасибо ХИМИК
[04:03] <bazhang> pial316, and offtopic here. please dont ask for support
[04:03] <pial316> hmm
[04:04] <bazhang> !ot | thevaliantx

[04:04] <pial316> bye bye
[04:05] <mikea> Is there a PPA or something to get a newer KDE with network manager 0.9 so I can use the OpenConnect VPN client?
[04:06] <bazhang> mikea, kde 4.8?
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | mikea probably
[04:07] <Zimm3r> I was using ubuntu and my sound isn't working, when I go into the sound preferences the hardware is seen but the output only has dummy output
[04:07] <scut> btw, anyone knows how to extract weather.com XOAP id/key from gnome/xfce panel? i wanna use it in conky
[04:07] <mikea> bazhang, I'm trying to connect to my vpn client at work, but the KDE network manager that ships with 11.10 doesn't support it - http://www.infradead.org/openconnect/gui.html
[04:09] <Zimm3r> anyone know how to get the outputs working so it isn't dummy output
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> Zimm3r: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh
[04:10] <ActionParsnip> mikea: could try wicd
[04:11] <savid> Is it possible to upgrade to a 3.0 kernel in Oneiric?  Right now my kernel is 2.6.38
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> !info linux-image-generic oneiric
[04:11] <Zimm3r> ActionParsnip: ok i ran that and uploaded it
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> savid: oneiric kernel is <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:12] <savid> ActionParsnip, odd, why is mine 2.6.38 then?
[04:12] <LordDragon> hey all
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> Zimm3r: ok, what is the generated URL in your terminal
[04:12] <LordDragon> how do i manage "services" in 11.10 ?
[04:12] <benwalburn> is there a way to disable "Apps Available for Download" in the unity dash? I followed a guide saying to use dconf-tools but I don't have "lenses"
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> savid: hold shift at boot and select the newer kernel
[04:13] <savid> ActionParsnip,  I have no other options in grub
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> LordDragon: sudo service <servicename> <command>
[04:13] <Zimm3r> ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=c1c3090a1b427f940010c27227616f8ff7e61e57
[04:13] <LordDragon> ActionParsnip: is there a GUI for it?
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> savid: then run:   sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-3.0.0-16-generic
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> LordDragon: why would you need one?
[04:14] <LordDragon> ActionParsnip: but i dont know the commands to accomplish what i want in the terminal
[04:14] <savid> ActionParsnip,  "Unable to locate package linux-image-3.0.0-16-generic"
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> Zimm3r: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa;  sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*
[04:15] <savid> ActionParsnip, I don't see any 3.0 kernels when searching in apt-cache
[04:15] <delinquentme> really simple screen capture software?
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> LordDragon: thats how you manage the services, if you want to kill processes then its different.   I just realized I'm running natty.  I thought I installed oneiric.   GDI.
[04:15] <LordDragon> well i did "sudo apt-get install telnetd"
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> savid: that'll be why
[04:16] <LordDragon> yet i cant seem to launch the telnet server
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> LordDragon: it runs as a service at startup, you can stop it with:  sudo service telnetd stop
[04:16] <delinquentme> ActionParsnip,  <3
[04:16] <savid> well, frack.
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> LordDragon: I suggest you use openssh-server instead of telnet, telnet is not secure at all
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> delinquentme: also xvidwincap if memory serves
[04:17] <LordDragon> i realize telnet isnt as secure. but its a necessity for my particular needs
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> LordDragon: I see
[04:17] <Zimm3r> ActionParsnip: Thank You! :-)
[04:17] <LordDragon> ActionParsnip: i get this error "telnetd: unrecongized service"
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> LordDragon: use tab to complete the service name
[04:18] <delinquentme> ActionParsnip, recording takes quite a bit of processing huh?
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> LordDragon: sudo service t    then press TAB a few times, see what comes up
[04:18] <LordDragon> ActionParsnip: nothing comes up at all
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> delinquentme: depends on how much area you record. a square of 20 pixels will be less CPU intensive than a full screen capture
[04:19] <LordDragon> i press TAB and nothing happens
[04:19] <dfcnvt> What's the name of the program that open pdf is common on Ubuntu? (I think I screwed up with app preference)
[04:19] <bazhang> dfcnvt, evince, also known as document viewer
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> !pdf | dfcnvt
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> LordDragon: not sure dude, weird. Thought it would add itself...
[04:21] <dfcnvt> I think I have a broken file... or that evince can't read it correctly.
[04:21] <Jak2000> ing google.com unknown host google.com  (ubuntu server)
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> dfcnvt: try a different viewer
[04:21] <LordDragon> how do i do a search on my box for the file "telnetd" ?
[04:21] <Jak2000> *ping
[04:21] <BinaryLinux> fing telnetd
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> Jak2000: try:  echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf     then retry the ping
[04:22] <BinaryLinux> find*
[04:22] <very_sad> LordDragon:
[04:22] <very_sad> cd /etc/init.d/
[04:22] <very_sad> ls
[04:22] <very_sad> check if there
[04:22] <very_sad> sysvinit's location for daemons
[04:22] <LordDragon> theres no telnet there
[04:23] <very_sad> so you don't have it
[04:23] <LordDragon> how do i reinstall the telnetd package
[04:23] <LordDragon> i already did apt-get install telnetd
[04:24] <very_sad> why telnet though?
[04:24] <very_sad> telnet sux
[04:24] <XuMuK> for "partycular purposes" xD
[04:25] <XuMuK> i*
[04:25] <designdream> openssh-server homie
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> telnet is needed
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> according to LordDragon
[04:25] <LordDragon> yes
[04:25] <LordDragon> its needed because the computer i want to connect from cant do ssh
[04:25] <designdream> why can't it do ssh?
[04:25] <very_sad> from?
[04:26] <very_sad> what is this setup?
[04:26] <LordDragon> its an old old computer
[04:26] <LordDragon> its weird
[04:26] <LordDragon> when i do apt-get install
[04:26] <very_sad> you computer (uable to ssh)->server running ubuntu?
[04:26] <LordDragon> telnetd
[04:26] <very_sad> like that?
[04:26] <LordDragon> it says its installed
[04:26] <LordDragon> but its not there
[04:26] <designdream> the package gods are telling you something.. don't run a clear text terminal service
[04:27] <Jak2000> ActionParsnip: same result  :(
[04:28] <halt_> one more time, just becasue the cisco chanel do not know, did anyone know the cdpr ? (http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/cdpr)
[04:28] <sacarlson> LordDragon: designdream: never know when you want to use one of those old 1972 serial terminal to see a servers status localy
[04:28] <very_sad> LordDragon: inetd
[04:28] <willyg_cos> at=r|e^zs,cw=YkRGLjPmLWPlO3PlO3PlM0RHMp
[04:28] <very_sad> that's the service for telnet
[04:29] <narok401> สวัดดีครับ
[04:29] <ajin> hi everyone, does anyone know acer netbook AOD270?
[04:29] <designdream> sacarlson: true that. my first computer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDhpcOJ2zzM
[04:30] <very_sad> LordDragon: /etc/init.d/inetd start
[04:30] <very_sad> as root/with permissions
[04:30] <very_sad> but again, telnet is stupid.
[04:30] <very_sad> use at your own risk
[04:30] <ajin> It seems there's  LINUX driver for the intel GMA3600
[04:31] <ajin> there's no driver, sorry
[04:31] <very_sad> saying your computer is old does _not_ mean it can't run sshd
[04:31] <urfr332gO> halt_, are yo running hardy?

[04:32] <LordDragon> er done
[04:32] <urfr332gO> halt_, hardy is end of life so not supported as well, just a heads up. :)
[04:32] <bazhang> narok401, /join #ubuntu-th for Thai

[04:35] <very_sad> oops
[04:35] <bazhang> very_sad, thats not helping.
[04:35] <very_sad> meant that for help
[04:35] <halt_> very_sad why?
[04:35] <bazhang> very_sad, excessive commentary noise is not helpful here. please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:36] <very_sad> halt_: meant that helpmenow dude
[04:36] <very_sad> my bad bro <3
[04:36] <helpmeASAP> I had never ever successfully install any Linux OS using VMWare or VirtualBox... I'm running lubuntu. Where's Linus Trovaldis??
[04:36] <sacarlson> malkauns: you want it to sound when a remote logs into that system?
[04:37] <very_sad> helpmeASAP: ahahaha.
[04:37] <halt_> very_sad i don't get it
[04:37] <very_sad> halt_: I meant helpmeASAP <- that guy

[04:38] <urfr332gO> helpmeASAP, there is #vbox you might ask for help there as well.
[04:39] <helpmeASAP> I'm going there
[04:39] <malkauns> sacarlson, no, eg. if i use ssh -X then start VLC with a movie I want the audio to play on the machine i just ssh -X'd into
[04:39] <designdream> malkauns: mpg123? mplayer? sox?
[04:40] <sacarlson> malkauns: that should be default, the sound will come out of the system that's running the app
[04:40] <malkauns> designdream, anything, take vlc for example
[04:40] <urfr332gO> helpmeASAP, good luck. :)
[04:41] <acidrain> ok can anyone tell me why my ubuntu installation gets aborted in the odd way that the screen gets turned off while it is loading the format disk?
[04:41] <malkauns> malkauns, on mine, vlc says audio output failed...
[04:41] <malkauns> ... the device "default" could not be used
[04:41] <malkauns> device busy... etc.
[04:41] <acidrain> it appears that my computer is still trying to load the format disk, but for some reason the screen has went off
[04:41] <acidrain> and wont come back on
[04:41] <Socket-_> How do you remove a service from auto starting?
[04:42] <sacarlson> malkauns: you can also use the mpris api to control VLC and other media players to minimize bandwidth on the network when controling them
[04:42] <designdream> malkauns: i think in command line vlc you need to specifiy the -waveout-audio-device={wavemapper} etc
[04:43] <sacarlson> malkauns: oh and VLC also has a web interface so you can use that method of control also
[04:43] <malkauns> hmm but u guys say it should play remotely by default
[04:44] <sacarlson> malkauns: yes that what it did in the past, did something change?
[04:44] <malkauns> no idea
[04:45] <sacarlson> malkauns: VLC has like 6 different methods of control, just pick one that works for you
[04:46] <urfr332gO> Socket-_, what is the service?
[04:46] <malkauns> ah i found the problem
[04:46] <acidrain> ok can anyone tell me why my ubuntu installation gets aborted in the odd way that the screen gets turned off while it is loading the format disk?
[04:46] <malkauns> it was because i had a session open using NX server
[04:47] <sacarlson> malkauns: loging into yourself I assume?
[04:47] <malkauns> no
[04:47] <malkauns> once i terminated that session it started working
[04:47] <urfr332gO> acidrain, maybe a driver issue use the alternative cd for install.
[04:47] <urfr332gO> !nomodeset acidrain a method with the live cd
[04:48] <easypie> where is python install on ubuntu? where the site-packages live.
[04:48] <urfr332gO> !nomodeset | acidrain  a method with the live cd
[04:48] <easypie> /usr/lib/python2.6?
[04:49] <urfr332gO> acidrain, I'm assuming screen turned off may be a black screen here.
[04:54] <maujhsn> I have got all these packages in $/var/cache/apt/archives that is taking up a lot of HDD space how do you determine what packages to remove from the system to free up resources?
[04:55] <malkauns> ok next question: are there any GPU based video encoders for ubuntu/linux?
[04:55] <trism> maujhsn: sudo apt-get clean; will remove those debs
[04:55] <maujhsn> yes
[04:55] <maujhsn> trism Thanks
[04:56] <maujhsn> trism How do I treat the debs that I want to keep?
[04:57] <maujhsn> trism "command"
[04:57] <trism> maujhsn: you don't really need to keep any of them, they are already installed, and if you need them again later they can be redownloaded automatically when you reinstall
[04:58] <maujhsn> trism "You are a GOD send":)
[04:58] <acidrain> my damn internet dont even work on the ubuntu live cd lol
[04:58] <acidrain> wtf
[04:58] <Canadian1296> clear
[04:58] <Canadian1296> oops
[04:58] <acidrain> why is this happening?
[04:59] <ActionParsnip> acidrain: what network chip are you using?
[04:59] <designdream> malkauns: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?s=304d64fea256d8a3cb2f436310379516&showforum=68 CUDA on linux?
[05:00] <malkauns> designdream, oooooo k...
[05:00] <very_sad> cuda encoding is cumbersome, just use your cpu and good x264 settings.
[05:01] <rp-home> I'm trying to reassemble a software raid, and mdadm --assemble --scan only added 1 of the drives (I believe). Here's my fdisk output: http://pastebin.com/kXzUHGCB  . Anyone mind giving me a hand reassembling?
[05:01] <acidrain> ActionParsnip: sry i got disconnected. i think my ubuntu live cd is DOSing my network connection
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> acidrain: what network chip are you using?
[05:03] <acidrain> ActionParsnip: i cant access terminal from live cd?
[05:03] <avenged> nnl
[05:04] <acidrain> ActionParsnip: hang on one moment man. im going to boot into the "try out linux"
[05:05] <Lazerath> hello
[05:05] <Lazerath> I was wondering why ubuntu live does not connecto to the interent
[05:05] <avenged> hello..
[05:06] <helpmeASAP> Questions!!! Where is Debian channel???
[05:06] <Lazerath> hello
[05:06] <maujhsn> Lazerath It does connect to the internet!
[05:06] <Lazerath> ok so i can ping other computers on the local net
[05:06] <avenged> haha
[05:06] <Lazerath> but not get out to the inetenret
[05:06] <avenged> eat it..
[05:07] <acidrain> ActionParsnip: which of this information is my network chip?
[05:07] <acidrain> realtek, gigabit
[05:07] <ndkelly> helpmeASAP, #debian perhaps?
[05:08] <Lazerath> I am sure... i know the netowrk is ok because the other two computers on that subnet get out
[05:08] <acidrain> can anyone help me on why my ubuntu live cd will not connect to internet?
[05:08] <acidrain> if ubuntu wont connect, what flavor of linux should i use?
[05:09] <acidrain> i just want one that works
[05:09] <ndkelly> acidrain, Go to System > Administration > Hardware drivers.
[05:09] <Lazerath> one in windows server 2008 and the other one is a parted magic live cd
[05:09] <cfhowlett> acidrain   check system/adminsistration/hardware drivers
[05:09] <acidrain> ndkelly: i dont have that option
[05:09] <acidrain> cfhowlett: i dont have that option
[05:09] <ndkelly> acidrain, what's the version number?
[05:09] <ndkelly> Or rather, which distro.
[05:09] <acidrain> when i clicked on "try ubuntu without installing" it brought me to a terminal screen
[05:09] <Canadian1296> Okay everyone is dead in #ubuntu-server, so I guess I'll ask here. What's the best package to use to set up a vpn server? I want to use L2TP.
[05:09] <acidrain> 11.10 i think
[05:10] <ndkelly> I can't remember what the 11.10 livecd looked like.
[05:10] <cfhowlett> acidrain   is this the alternate .iso?
[05:10] <ndkelly> Is it a wireless connection?
[05:10] <ndkelly> acidrain, You may have done a minimal install by accident.
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> acidrain: wired or wireless, and what chip is it realtek? Broadcom? etc...
[05:10] <acidrain> cfhowlett: what do you mean by alternate iso?
[05:10] <acidrain> ActionParsnip: wired, realtek
[05:10] <cfhowlett> acidrain   alternate iso has a text based installer and no live cd options.
[05:11] <chelz> very_sad: what question?
[05:11] <maujhsn> Lazerath Perhaps need to talk with your tech department about that issue!
[05:11] <acidrain> i am trying to install 64bit live cd ubuntu 11.10
[05:11] <ndkelly> Redownload your .iso burn it your chosen installation media, then try again. Just make sure it's the right .iso
[05:11] <acidrain> ActionParsnip: how will this information you have help me?
[05:12] <Canadian1296> acidrain: But are you using the Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Server, or Ubuntu Alternate iso?
[05:12] <acidrain> Canadian1296: i am using the first 64bit option here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[05:13] <avenged> questions...  how to install metrick theme ??
[05:13] <Canadian1296> acidrain: Okay so you got the 64 bit Ubuntu Desktop iso.
[05:13] <Canadian1296> acidrain: Are you sure your computer is 64 bit?
[05:13] <acidrain> Canadian1296: yes, it says it on the box
[05:13] <ActionParsnip> acidrain: sudo lshw -C network
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> acidrain: what is the chip?
[05:14] <ndkelly> acidrain, Why do you not just use the 32bit version?
[05:14] <chelz> very_sad: it'll use the android kernel. so it's as integrated as you can get
[05:14] <acidrain> ActionParsnip: hang on. im going to boot into my actual ubuntu hdd.
[05:14] <Canadian1296> acidrain: And what exactly is the problem you're having?
[05:14] <chelz> very_sad: but by default you only see the nonandroid stuff when you dock it
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> avenged: where is it from? What release are you using?
[05:15] <acidrain> ndkelly: i tried 32bit, same problem. the ubuntu installed wont connect either
[05:16] <acidrain> Canadian1296: the problem is, eth0 is detected, but it wont connect
[05:16] <ndkelly> acidrain, Why not try installing first, then updating drivers and such to get your network running? Instead of using the livecd.
[05:16] <very_sad> So it's fully integrated into  android as a subsystem?
[05:16] <acidrain> and eth0 is wired
[05:16] <very_sad> like then is it going to be sysvinit?
[05:16] <very_sad> instead of the barebones init that android uses
[05:16] <Canadian1296> acidrain: Is eth0 working on the installed version? Or faulty on both installed and live?
[05:16] <chelz> very_sad: details like that haven't been released yet
[05:16] <acidrain> Canadian1296: on both
[05:16] <very_sad> ;l
[05:17] <very_sad> ok
[05:17] <acidrain> Canadian1296: works fine on windows
[05:17] <acidrain> same wire, same port
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> acidrain: the chip will tell us a lot
[05:17] <Lazerath> ok so the firewall is not letting out that  computer
[05:18] <acidrain> ActionParsnip: RTL8111/8168B PCI EXPRESSS Gigabit ethernet controller
[05:18] <acidrain> ActionParsnip: is this what you mean by chip?
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> acidrain: yes :)
[05:19] <acidrain> ActionParsnip: so will you tell me what exact information you are looking up and what you think the problem is so i can follow along?
[05:19] <sparr> I'm using KDE instead of Gnome. What is the binary I need to run to get to Gnome's "System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers" so that I can update my nvidia drivers?
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> acidrain: run:  echo "blacklist r8169" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf    reboot to test
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> sparr: jockey
[05:20] <Jordan_U> sparr: jockey-kde
[05:20] <sparr> thanks
[05:20] <Jordan_U> sparr: Or jockey-gtk, if you really want the GNOME version.
[05:20] <Jordan_U> sparr: You're welcome.
[05:21] <acidrain> ok im restarting now
[05:21] <Lazerath> Jordan_U: woot woot
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> acidrain: also the boot option: pci=nomsi       seems to be a thing accoring to bug 221499
[05:22] <rohit_> Hi, I have a question - I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS installed, but I am a Comp. Sci. major and I happen to install Labview and it is not supportable with WINE, so I need to install Windows 7. Is their any way I can transfer all my data (mainly pictures,music,videos, etc...) from Ubuntu to Windows? I really need this done very urgently
[05:23] <cfhowlett> rohit dropbox
[05:23] <ndkelly> rohit_, Yes. Do you have access to an external drive?
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> rohit_: use your backups
[05:23] <rohit_> alright
[05:24] <rohit_> is their any method w/o using a external?
[05:24] <scut> rohit_, www.fs-driver.org
[05:24] <rohit_> because i will daul boot
[05:24] <rohit_> so is it possible if i can easily just copy and paste it over to my windows 7
[05:24] <ndkelly> Dropbox is always an easy option
[05:24] <ndkelly> Or Box
[05:25] <acidrain> ActionParsnip: damn it, now i cant boot from my other hdd. and its not listed in the boot options. it wont load my options of which device to boot from
[05:25] <scut> rohit_, or use ntfs-3g to mount ntfs partition under linux
[05:25] <rohit_> with fs-driver i can easily read linux formats and just drag and drop all the info over?
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> acidrain: lose the option then ust use the blacklist :)
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> rohit_: not Ext4
[05:26] <scut> rohit_, yes, dunno with the performance and not ext5
[05:26] <acidrain> ActionParsnip: what do you mean? i cant even access my other hdd now...
[05:26] <rohit_> I se
[05:26] <scut> ext4*
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> rohit_: Ubuntu can read and write NTFS though
[05:26] <rohit_> Oh alright
[05:26] <rohit_> i'll try to find an external hard drive from a friend
[05:26] <rohit_> another quesiton
[05:26] <rohit_> will Linux ever have a port for Labview or Autodesk?
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> acidrain: change it in root recovery mode (hold shift at boot), or you can do it in liveCD
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> rohit_: you'd have to ask the developers
[05:27] <acidrain> ok i got it. seems times have changed since i last touched a comp. lol
[05:27] <Jordan_U> rohit_: The developers of Labview and Autodesk that is.
[05:27] <rohit_> alright
[05:27] <rohit_> thank you all!!
[05:27] <rohit_> have a great night!
[05:27] <acidrain> ActionParsnip: ok, i am booted up.
[05:27] <acidrain> ActionParsnip: it seems that eth0 is not being detected at all...
[05:28] <Kabrooks> Ok I need some advice on installing a psone emulator on ubuntu
[05:29] <incognegro> Anyone got any ideas?
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> !info psx
[05:30] <MisakaImotuo> Hi. I can't seem to get things like gedit, empathy, evince, etc. to have my GTK themes applied on Ubuntu
[05:30] <MisakaImotuo> I've tried Ubuntu 11.10 and Lubuntu 11.10 so far
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> incognegro: http://www.playdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/10.10/?q=playstation
[05:30] <MisakaImotuo> They work when I use unity or lxde
[05:30] <MisakaImotuo> But I want to use Openbox with tint2
[05:31] <acidrain> ActionParsnip: so what do you suggest now?
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> incognegro: you will need to add the playdeb repo (using the deb from the site). You will also need to dextract the ROMs from YOUR playstation to use it
[05:31] <MisakaImotuo> I have no idea why the themes stop applying to certain applications only when I'm running outside a DE
[05:31] <incognegro> Ohhhh boy
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> acidrain: not sure, i'd have a search for guides and such based on the chip name
[05:31] <incognegro> That's something
[05:33] <acidrain> ActionParsnip: do you suggest i take this computer back? and buy another one?
[05:33] <MisakaImotuo> Also I'm launching both openbox and lxde via GDM, so that rules that out
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> acidrain: for an ethernet controller, hardly
[05:34] <acidrain> well it kinda seems like the thing to do... i mean this box is useless to me if it wont go online
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> acidrain: you can get a PCI ethernet adapter for the price of a pack of smokes...
[05:34] <acidrain> a pci ethernet adapater you say...
[05:34] <acidrain> i think i have 1 of those laying around. it should work?
[05:34] <MisakaImotuo> I should also note that applications like thunar, chromium (for it's GTK bits), lxappearance, etc. all work fine with my GTK theme
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> acidrain: depends on the chip, worth a try
[05:35] <acidrain> looks like this mobo doesnt have a pci slow
[05:35] <acidrain> :/
[05:35] <MisakaImotuo> I'm also using the Lubuntu-Default theme, so it can't be GTK3 issues
[05:36] <incognegro> Thanx actionparsnip
[05:37] <helpmeASAP> questions!!!!
[05:37] <helpmeASAP> Anyone reading me??!!!!
[05:38] <ndkelly> Dont ask to ask, just ask. :)
[05:38] <helpmeASAP> I thought I was invisible
[05:39] <Canadian1296> helpmeASAP: We can all wish we were… But none of us, including you, are.
[05:39] <ndkelly> helpmeASAP, What's up?
[05:39] <Canadian1296> helpmeASAP: What do you need help with?
[05:39] <helpmeASAP> because no one is responding to me on another channel
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: which cbhannel?
[05:39] <helpmeASAP> my boredom
[05:40] <helpmeASAP> boredom
[05:40] <Canadian1296> helpmeASAP: What's the name of the channel, and what were you asking them?
[05:40] <ndkelly> How bored are you?
[05:40] <helpmeASAP> not as bored as you
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: do you have a support question?
[05:41] <ndkelly> ActionParsnip, I think he's just trolling.
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> MisakaImotuo: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc   please
[05:41] <helpmeASAP> my question is about VM but no one is answering
[05:42] <helpmeASAP> wait a sec, are you people here paid to answer our questions?
[05:43] <ndkelly> helpmeASAP, No.
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: no
[05:43] <helpmeASAP> That's good
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: how is that relevant to anything?
[05:44] <helpmeASAP> becasue that means you are not forced to answer
[05:44] <helpmeASAP> whatever
[05:44] <bazhang> helpmeASAP, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[05:44] <aruncn1> helpmeASAP: Shoot your question directly
[05:44] <helpmeASAP> I really can't get this VM to work, it can only run in LiveCD
[05:45] <helpmeASAP> When running in LiveCD, no update and installing software right?
[05:46] <helpmeASAP> ubi-prepare failed with exit code -9
[05:46] <helpmeASAP> when trying to install to disk
[05:47] <helpmeASAP> told you I'm invisible
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: you can update software and install all  you want
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: you are simply limited by RAM, the changes simply will not stick if you reboot
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: try a little patience
[05:49] <helpmeASAP> I'm limited by RAM in guest or host machine? I have 1 GB RAM and set 300MB to guest machine
[05:49] <aruncn1> helpmeASAP: If you have a usb stick, you can make persistent storage too
[05:49] <dipix> helpmeASAP: aren't you trying to install it on vmware workstation?
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: you can still add and remove apps in the live CD session
[05:50] <toratek_net> hey there
[05:50] <ndkelly> Hey toratek_net
[05:50] <helpmeASAP> 3 names here, giving conflicting answers. dunno which to believe....
[05:50] <toratek_net> just wanted to let everyone know that if you are looking for a VPS provider that loves ubuntu, please check out http://toratek.net/vps-servers/
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: why not try it yourself and see. it doesn't change the installed OS so you have nothing to lose...
[05:51] <aruncn1> helpmeASAP: And once you prepare persistent  usb stick, you can boot the system with it and use it in routine way. tool is included in Ubuntu. Have a try
[05:51] <liberal> i wonder if having a name like helpmeASAP gets you help ASAP.
[05:51] <helpmeASAP> ActionParsnip: that's not what people in other channel told me
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: this is ubuntu support, I think we'll know a little better
[05:52] <helpmeASAP> but some people in here told me differently yesterday
[05:52] <helpmeASAP> like...
[05:52] <cfhowlett> helpmeASAP   as always YMMV
[05:52] <Jordan_U> toratek_net: Please don't advertise any services in #ubuntu, even if they are Ubuntu related.
[05:52] <helpmeASAP> differently
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: look, boot to the live CD and uninstall some apps, it will work
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: if you reboot however, the application will be right back
[05:53] <helpmeASAP> can I update and use software I install?
[05:53] <toratek_net> Jordan_U worked hard to create this thing, it's really nice:) sorry to have upset you
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: personally I always advise people update ubiquity and gparted in liveCD so that the installer and partitioner are the latest versins
[05:53] <helpmeASAP> I'm going you all are confusing me
[05:54] <helpmeASAP> Especially when I have Down Syndrome
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: yes you can upgrade the software but your apt cache will be in your RAM as well so will take up space, you may run out if you don't have much
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: how can we tell that in a text based interface??
[05:55] <helpmeASAP> can we connect to this server securely using SSL?
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> helpmeASAP: to what server?
[05:55] <helpmeASAP> this one
[05:55] <bazhang> helpmeASAP, try #freenode
[05:55] <pangolin> helpmeASAP: yes, see #freenode for info
[05:56] <helpmeASAP> I connected to irc.ubuntu.com server
[05:56] <bazhang> helpmeASAP, yes, that is freenode
[05:57] <bazhang> helpmeASAP, ask about ssl in channel #freenode
[05:58] <very_sad> LOL that guy was funny though
[05:58] <very_sad> helpmeASAP
[06:03] <wiky> how to install gnome3 in ubuntu11.10
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> wiky: its already installed
[06:04] <bazhang> wiky, gnome-shell ?
[06:04] <XuMuK> wiky: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
[06:04] <pangolin> !notunity | wiky
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> wiky: if you are using Unity, it is a shell for Gnome 3
[06:04] <wiky> ok i think i know ,thanks
[06:05] <zormit> hi. is there a replacement for gnome-open in unity?
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> zormit: use the docs lens at the bottom of unity, you can search your docs there
[06:05] <acidrain> ActionParsnip: this computer officially does NOT have a pci slot. now what should i do?
[06:07] <ActionParsnip> acidrain: search for guides is all I can suggest, or usb. If it is a desktop PC, the PCI slots will be inside the system
[06:07] <acidrain> ActionParsnip: i have a ethernet pci, and it is far from fitting the inside of this box. so i know for a fact its not a pci slot
[06:09] <zormit> ActionParsnip: sorry I dont get it. I used gnome-open (with gnome2) to open files from terminal... now I search for an alternative to avoid installing libgnome2
[06:09] <ActionParsnip> acidrain: gah, then find guides for the chip, or you could grab a usb thing
[06:10] <chiyan> how to printer sharing  in ubuntu 11.04
[06:12] <acidrain> ActionParsnip: i think i found a fix. an alternative driver
[06:12] <chiyan> how to printer sharing  in ubuntu 11.04
[06:12] <chiyan> how to printer sharing  in ubuntu 11.04 help me
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> zormit: may have to bite the bullet dude, how many extra deps (in size) is it?
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> chiyan: install samba and it should be good to go if memory serves
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> chiyan: saying "please" doesn't hurt either
[06:14] <diuneigh> does anyone know how to setup Ubuntu 11.10 to display on a HDMI TV through the HDMI port on the computer?  The TV doesn't recognize the source.  Just a blank screen and no sound.
[06:15] <zormit> ActionParsnip: ah its ok, its only 1MB. thank you
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> zormit: haha, go for it dude :)
