[00:00] <wejq> my nautilus is making my eyes bleeding - the ubuntu,smooth,preety look just disappeared, it doesnt load with system
[00:00] <wejq> all things are rectangle
[00:01] <wejq> http://minus.com/mbeCsI5L0F#
[00:01] <Fyodorovna> wejq, what did you change?
[00:02] <wejq> nothing but grub, that doesnt matter
[00:02] <Fyodorovna> compiz.theme...etc wejq
[00:02] <wejq> i changed some OS'es names
[00:02] <wejq> nothing but this
[00:02] <wejq> it suddenly stopped working
[00:02] <ablyss> wejq, create a new user should fix that
[00:02] <Fyodorovna> wejq, can you be exacting?
[00:03] <karya> hii
[00:04] <Fyodorovna> !pm | karya, I don't PM in general
[00:05] <wejq> ok, from the beginning. All my life was stable, but suddenly i decided to reinstall my windows. In unwanted effect i had 130GB of free space because of broken partition table. I repaired it using TestDisk, and my system worked, i had to reinstall and reconfigure grub
[00:05] <wejq> it was about 2-3 days ago
[00:06] <wejq> and today i discovered that ocassionaly nautilus view is like this
[00:06] <ablyss> wejq, corrupt compiz setting
[00:06] <wejq> wut do
[00:06] <ablyss> i had to make a new user
[00:07] <wejq> log on it then ?
[00:09] <ablyss> then that's it
[00:09] <ablyss> make new user admin user
[00:09] <yusuf> connect #zurna
[00:09] <ablyss> copy important stuff over and / or user ubuntu one
[00:10] <ablyss> use* ubuntu one
[00:11] <ablyss> not sure if ubuntu backup backs up all hidden user files, namely compiz settings but it probably wouldn't be good to restore them
[00:13]  * ablyss oops talking to nobody
[00:18] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, you can save your compiz set up and use it in other setups and the original.
[00:18] <ablyss> Fyodorovna, if the compiz is corrupt you think that would still work?
[00:19] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, not a corrupted set up, one that works.
[00:19] <ablyss> i quit messing with compiz it corrupts to easily
[00:19] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, you can save what you want is the point.
[00:20] <ablyss> Fyodorovna, what about ubuntu backup.. does it backup compiz settings for you?
[00:21] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, granted yes, but there are ways of dealing with it a restart of it fixes many things, depends on what you have done. There are lots of tutorials online for the cube etc.
[00:21] <ablyss> Fyodorovna, yes I have restarted compiz many a times
[00:21] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, most likely I use grsync it backs up with rsync, easily accessible.
[00:22] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, look at the tutorials as far as what can be done.
[00:22] <ablyss> Fyodorovna, i see.  I just use the default settings.  To much time wasted for me to try to fix it.
[00:23] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, compiz is not really in sync with just any change for unity or probably anydesktop.
[00:23] <ablyss> Fyodorovna, so far the default settings have not crashed
[00:23] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, cool.
[00:23] <_k4> Unity sucks
[00:24] <Fyodorovna> !cookie | _k4
[00:24] <_k4> Can't help it.
[00:24] <Fyodorovna> lol there is medication for that now _k4 :)
[00:24] <_k4> I used to sing the praises of Ubutu
[00:24] <n0wje> I have gotten used to unity and it seems fine! not for everyone though.
[00:24] <_k4> Ubuntu
[00:24] <RoadRat> How do i make output from lsmod come only one window a time if i humbly could ask?
[00:25] <indio> humungulous, Fyodorovna: Thanks.
[00:25] <CFHowlett> RoadRat   lsmod|more
[00:25] <ablyss> RoadRat, what do you mean one window a time?
[00:25] <RoadRat> thanx
[00:25] <_k4> It was my distro for everyone but now it's on the list of has beens.
[00:25] <Fyodorovna> indio, no problem.
[00:25] <Chipzzz> _k4: install cairo-dock & you'll like unity much better
[00:26] <ablyss> docky is nice too
[00:26] <Chipzzz> _k4: ...or what ablyss said
[00:26] <_k4> I can't figure out how to run anything other that the poorly selected apps that are in the crappy icon list.
[00:27] <airtonix> oh ok
[00:27] <_k4> No obvious way of getting a menu
[00:27] <RoadRat> And how can i search for if a module is loaded
[00:27] <airtonix> _k4: you mean apart from hitting the.... menuuuu button?
[00:27] <Fyodorovna> _k4, dash?
[00:27] <ablyss> RoadRat, #python channel perhaps?
[00:27] <_k4> There is no menu button that I can find.
[00:27] <Chipzzz> _k4: f2 and type the beginning of the command
[00:28] <_k4> Just a bunch of icons on the left side of the window that don't necessarily do everything I want to do.
[00:28] <airtonix> Chipzzz: that's not actually the equiv of pressing the super key
[00:28] <Chipzzz> _k4: sorry... alt-f2
[00:28] <_k4> OK
[00:28] <Fyodorovna> _k4, you might try synapse, key prompt to bring up a search gui.
[00:28] <ablyss> super key works great
[00:29] <ablyss> my only beef with unity is it does not do real-time queries.
[00:29] <Chipzzz> _k4: you'd still like cairo-deck or docky better, though
[00:30] <Chipzzz> (cairo-dock, sorry)
[00:30] <airtonix> Chipzzz: maybe, but that's up to _k4 to decide
[00:30] <Chipzzz> of course
[00:30] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, you mean open apps by realtime queries?
[00:30] <adahlin> I'm trying to re-compile a specific kernel module with ubuntu (10.04). i did apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r), then ran make modules, but the resulting .ko won't load with a "Invalid module format"... thoughts?
[00:30] <ablyss> Fyodorovna, yes.
[00:31] <ablyss> Fyodorovna, and find files
[00:31] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, the left panel shows little dots next to the app open one for each one open I forget which mose key brings them up.
[00:31] <Fyodorovna> mouse*
[00:32] <spiff_> Any easy way to view update change notes in a shell? using apt-get or so...
[00:32] <Fyodorovna> middle click opens a new one ablyss
[00:32] <_k4> Thanks for the suggestions.  I'll check them out.
[00:32] <ablyss> Fyodorovna, hmmm, i dont see any dots
[00:33] <ablyss> Fyodorovna, i press the super key first right?
[00:33] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, to the left of the app if I remember I stopped using unity about two weeks ago.
[00:33] <ablyss> oh..
[00:34] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, it has queries for some it is just figuring it out, we need a god link to all that unity stuff.
[00:34] <Fyodorovna> good*
[00:35] <ablyss> Fyodorovna, well it has recent documents, downloads and folders.. but not real time quires
[00:36] <ablyss> i don't think the system as a whole is setup for it
[00:36] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, alt-tab will show you everthing, with drop downs of multiples of the same.
[00:37] <ablyss> Fyodorovna, alt-tab? That's the window switcher
[00:37] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, iright it is unuty right. :)
[00:38] <Fyodorovna> right*
[00:38] <ablyss> Fyodorovna, say you wanted to find all files starting with XYZ the super key type *XYZ*
[00:38] <ablyss> it just isn't possible
[00:38] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, use the mouse cursor for the drop downs.
[00:38] <ablyss> i have to crank up the terminal and use find
[00:38] <blackmatrix_ny> when will ubuntu change this new user interface ?
[00:39] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, you would do that in the terminal I think
[00:39] <ablyss> Fyodorovna, yup
[00:39] <cordyceps> can someone help me with the audacious player. When I tell it to play a CD a window opens that says 'searching cdda:// 0 files found' and then audacious closes.
[00:39] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, unity has nothing to do with that.
[00:39] <ablyss> Fyodorovna, but it should is my point ;-)
[00:39] <cordyceps> drm?
[00:40] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, gnome 2 doesn't your argument is specious. :)
[00:40] <cordyceps> mplayer plays the CD but very jerkily
[00:40] <ablyss> cordyceps, audio and video ?
[00:41] <cordyceps> audio only
[00:41] <ablyss> cordyceps, have you given vlc a shot?
[00:41] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, it shouls make your coffee and play hail to the chief when you boot but it doesn't lol.
[00:42] <ablyss> Fyodorovna, that's alright with me :)
[00:42] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, I stole it from another user but yeah why not. :)
[00:42] <ablyss> it's free and awesome OS
[00:45] <hiexpo> hola
[00:45] <Braden`> Hello
[00:45] <Guest87598> buenas noches
[00:46] <Fyodorovna> !es | Guest87598
[00:46] <Fyodorovna> hiexpo, ^^^
[00:47] <Braden`> For some reason, I am showing 'init' as taking up 40% of the processor.  Top outputs -> Cpu(s): 31.4%us, 68.6%sy,  0.0%ni,  0.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st.  What should I look for to diagnose this problem?
[00:47] <ablyss> Fyodorovna, actually this works fine... super key .. type search ... open search dialog and search *XYZ*
[00:48] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, thats the dash search am I right?
[00:49] <GordonFreeman> Hey guys, I just install ubuntu via wubi. When I try to boot into it, there is one flashing thing saying that there is no file for something...then the screen just blinks.
[00:49] <GordonFreeman> I am going to try and reinstall it
[00:49] <Fyodorovna> GordonFreeman, probably best idea you know how to remove it?
[00:49] <ablyss> Fyodorovna, gnome-search-tool
[00:50] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, you get the same with alt=f2 I think
[00:50] <GordonFreeman> Fyodorovna: yea, I just start the installation process over and it removes it automatically right?
[00:50] <Fyodorovna> alt-f2
[00:50] <Fyodorovna> GordonFreeman, I think yo have to remove it from the control remove apps gui
[00:50] <Fyodorovna> you*
[00:51] <GordonFreeman> ah
[00:51] <GordonFreeman> thank you
[00:51] <ablyss> Fyodorovna, alt-f2 brings "run command"  gnome-search-tool searches/queries $HOME contents
[00:51] <Fyodorovna> GordonFreeman, or there is s remove in the wubi folder as well.
[00:51] <Fyodorovna> a*
[00:51] <Fyodorovna> ablyss, ah.
[00:51] <GordonFreeman> Fyodorovan: yeah, I just removed it.
[00:52] <Fyodorovna> GordonFreeman, you might check the ISO or disc witha md5sum if this happens again.
[00:52] <GordonFreeman> k
[00:52] <GordonFreeman> thanks
[00:52] <Fyodorovna> !md5sum
[00:53] <GordonFreeman> Fyodorovan: wubi downloads the iso straight from the website
[00:53] <GordonFreeman> Is there a way I can force it to use an ubuntu install iso on the computer?
[00:53] <Fyodorovna> GordonFreeman, yeah actually all downloads of ubuntu have the wubi in it.
[00:53] <GordonFreeman> What do you mean, "wubi in it'
[00:54] <GordonFreeman> I thought wubi was just for win to install ubuntu as a directory in win without partitioning
[00:54] <YohanMeister> I'm just gonna take a wild shot here... does anyone happen to have a logitech k800 illuminated keyboard and were you able to get it working with linux?
[00:54] <Fyodorovna> GordonFreeman, you can download just the wubi installer and point it at a ISO, never have done it myself though just see this posted on occasion.
[00:55] <GordonFreeman> fyodorovna: I can point wubi to install an iso on my desktop? can you link me to instructions?
[00:56] <zykotic10> GordonFreeman: wubi installs inside windows
[00:56] <GordonFreeman> right
[00:56] <GordonFreeman> without partitioning right?
[00:56] <zykotic10> correct - it's not a real install
[00:56] <GordonFreeman> good
[00:56] <GordonFreeman> I am going to be using this under a truecrypt hidden os
[00:57] <bazhang> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide GordonFreeman heres the guide
[00:57] <Fyodorovna> GordonFreeman, not really but here is the wubi wiki, I think that that info is on it. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
[00:57] <GordonFreeman> bazhang: thanks
[00:57] <GordonFreeman> fyodorovna: thanks
[00:58] <Fyodorovna> GordonFreeman, I missed you had gotten it.
[01:00] <topper4125> Does anyone know if the KDE Desktop works well with the Acer Aspire-One netbook
[01:01] <bazhang> topper4125, try a livecd
[01:05] <Merarys> topper4125 : ubuntu 10.4.3 lts does
[01:05] <Merarys> netbook does not have a cdrom
[01:06] <_k4> USB stick.
[01:06] <_k4> F12
[01:07] <Merarys> at least i think so,do it via usb here is the page for the USB installation http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
[01:07] <Fyodorovna> topper4125, should I bumped my ram to 2 gigs though 1 gig for ubuntu is advised.
[01:07] <Fyodorovna> at the least for a fast running OS
[01:08] <topper4125> I'm running ubunto 11.10 with XFCE with 1 Gig Ram, runs pretty fast, haven't had any problems yet
[01:08] <topper4125> Unity works well with it (but I'm not a fan of Unity)
[01:09] <Fyodorovna> topper4125, yeah depends on what you have open. :)
[01:10] <topper4125> *That* is very true... I tend to run very few programs simultaneously
[01:10] <Fyodorovna> me to
[01:11] <Merarys> depends on what you do also,,thats a netbook for me a JoliceClowd will work exellent on that aspire one netbook
[01:12] <aicasn> hey all. why does ubuntu install both icedtea and openjdk by default? aren't they both jdk implementations?
[01:12] <_k4> I run mint 12 on my netbook/
[01:14] <topper4125> @aicasn... I don't know why... but if I don't have OpenJDK installed, I can't run .jar files locally with icedtea.
[01:14] <_k4> Other than being a bit picky about wireless connections, I find no faults.  I suspect if I load up wicd that will correct the wireless problems
[01:14] <itaylor57> aicasn, icedtea is the web java plugin, openjdk is the developmenty package
[01:14] <Braden`> http://pastebin.com/XQYSFvWW <-- Can anyone tell me why I have abnormally high processor usage?  That is a complete list of all processes
[01:14] <aicasn> itaylor57: so without icedtea, firefox/chrome/etc won't be able to use embedded java applets?
[01:14] <thomedy> im on the unetbootin page for making my flash drive bootable... and when i download the linux version which i run linux already im just moving back to an lts version instead of 11.1
[01:15] <_k4> Braden`: run htop
[01:15] <itaylor57> aicasn, yes
[01:15] <thomedy> it keeps saying im getting a exe
[01:15] <thomedy> but im not
[01:15] <topper4125> I was thinking about mint for the netbook... but went with the setup I have no instead...
[01:15] <thomedy> and when i chmod +x it does nothing
[01:15] <aicasn> itaylor57: ok. ty for the clarification
[01:16] <itaylor57> aicasn, openjdk or openjre lets you run java applications locally on your system
[01:16] <ki7mt> topper4125, I had a small HP Netbook, have ran both Xubuntu and Lubuntu on it, ran nicely. Gnome or KDE was, in my case too much for it.
[01:16] <asnt> Hi! Can anyone help me with a jittery/laggy mouse pointer?
[01:17] <Fyodorovna> thomedy, unetbootin should be bootable when loaded, what's going ion?
[01:17] <thomedy> i agree but its not booting for me at all
[01:17] <Fyodorovna> asnt, have you looked in mouse for adjustments?
[01:17] <thomedy> i download the link that says (for linux)
[01:17] <knewbie_> hi.. can someone help me with 12.04 beta1? it is not booting
[01:17] <thomedy> and then click  it in my gui
[01:18] <thomedy> but it says no app for running an exe
[01:18] <Fyodorovna> thomedy, you know the key prompt to bring up a boot from menu that is not in the bios try f12.
[01:18] <Braden`> _k4:  I would paste the results to pastebin, but I cannot highlight anything in htop
[01:18] <itaylor57> knewbie_, you need to ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:18] <topper4125> @ki7mt I was thinking the same thing... I might just stick with XFCE... if it ain't broke... don't fix it ;)
[01:18] <knewbie_> ok thx
[01:18] <Fyodorovna> thomedy, when does it sya this?
[01:18] <thomedy> shouldn't i have to make my unetbootin run first
[01:18] <Fyodorovna> say*
[01:18] <thomedy> so that it builds my flash
[01:18] <asnt> Fyodorovna: No I haven't actually. Good thinking (d'oh). Just a minute…
[01:19] <Fyodorovna> thomedy, what have you done so far?
[01:19] <thomedy> i have done this multiple times in my life and because its so infrequently i always forget something
[01:19] <thomedy> i downloaded the iso and the unetbootin thats all
[01:19] <thomedy> i was about to build my flash with runing unetbootin
[01:19] <thomedy> so that it would make my flash bootable
[01:19] <thomedy> thats when i ran into this problem
[01:20] <Fyodorovna> thomedy, for the thimb to a fat, and load the ISO.
[01:20] <ki7mt> topper4125, Yep I like Xubuntu and Lubuntu, either one works well on Netbooks IMHO.
[01:20] <Fyodorovna> s/format/thumb
[01:20] <asnt> Fyodorovna: No luck. (I didn't look there before because I haven't changed anything in the mouse settings in a long time, and the problem only started maybe 2 days ago)
[01:21] <Fyodorovna> asnt, is it jittery when just sitting still?
[01:21] <thomedy> im sorry i dont understand at all waht you just said im sorry again
[01:21] <Braden`> http://pastebin.com/XQYSFvWW <-- Can anyone tell me why I have abnormally high processor usage?  That is a complete list of all processes
[01:21] <asnt> Fyodorovna: No, it's just slow/inaccurate/hitchy when I try to move it (it doesn't always go where I expect it to)
[01:21] <Fyodorovna> thomedy, form the thumb to a fat 32 partition, then use unetbootin to load the ISO to it.
[01:22] <Fyodorovna> format*
[01:22] <Fyodorovna> asnt, not sure then really.
[01:22] <thomedy> thank you
[01:22] <_k4> Braden`: Why
[01:23] <asnt> Fyodorovna: Ok, well thanks anyway!
[01:23] <Fyodorovna> asnt, have you cleaned the roller that the mouse rolls on?
[01:23] <Braden`> _k4:  htop won't allow me to highlight
[01:24] <Braden`> It is some kind of ncurses interface that allows you to click on things with the mouse
[01:24] <thomedy> okay i dont know how i got to an msdos format thank you hopefully that fixes it i just have to figure out how to do that in linux now
[01:24] <_k4> Braden`: run top -n 1
[01:24] <asnt> Fyodorovna: I haven't actually. That's a good idea… I'll try an optical mouse for a couple minutes first to make sure it's not a software problem though.
[01:25] <Fyodorovna> thomedy, the disk utility or gparted works.
[01:25] <Chipzzz> Braden`: init is still running after 16 days?!?
[01:25] <Fyodorovna> asnt, my mouse a older ball type gets the ball junked up and the two flat roolers sometimes.
[01:25] <Fyodorovna> rollers*
[01:26] <asnt> Fyodorovna: Yes, mine does that too sometimes (I prefer ball mice over optical mice just because of the feel). I just tried an optical mouse though and it has the same problem. :-(
[01:26] <Fyodorovna> Braden`, f3 will let you search and f9 will allow you to kill in htop look at the instructions in the gui
[01:27] <Braden`> http://pastebin.com/Bc0K83Vb
[01:27] <Braden`> Thats the updated top
[01:27] <Braden`> output
[01:27] <Braden`> top -n 1
[01:29] <Chipzzz> Braden`: anything in the logs about what init is doing?
[01:29] <thomedy> i really like the style of 11.1 but need the lts of 10.4 when do we think that 12 lts will be fully tested and out of betta does anyone know
[01:29] <_k4> Is init running like that all the time?
[01:29] <_k4> It's taking too much time.
[01:29] <Fyodorovna> thomedy, 12.04=april 4th month
[01:29] <Chipzzz> _k4: the machine's been up 16 days... init has gone berzerk
[01:29] <bazhang> thomedy, in April. 12.04
[01:30] <siv0r> hi! I'm hoping someone could help me with the default music player for 11.1.  I've gone through everything I can think of to change the behavior when I launch music from nautilus, but it always defaults to banshee. trying to get it to run Audacious. Used 'open with' and changed default in system settings.
[01:30] <valdur55> Can anyone reproduce my bug: http://youtu.be/VC7wXPcqjhM ?
[01:30] <Braden`> Let me check the logs
[01:30] <Braden`> But yea, its running like that 24/7
[01:30] <_k4> Chipzzz: Braden` reboot.
[01:30] <thomedy> cool... not to far away... im pretty psyched about a new lts
[01:30]  * giowck O.o
[01:30] <smilcha> has anyone got problems with software cenre? I can`t connect, saying check your internet connection, rest of web is fine
[01:31] <Chipzzz> Braden`: init should have a total time < 1 second & be sleeping
[01:31] <siv0r> smilcha, working fine for me
[01:31] <cavibird> rhythmbox?
[01:31] <smilcha> hmm strange
[01:31] <Pecker> smilcha: does apt-get update work ok, or does synaptic work?
[01:31] <cavibird> mines workin fine too
[01:31] <smilcha> Pecker,  Updates are fine,
[01:32] <Braden`> Nothing is in the logs
[01:32] <Braden`> This is an OpenVZ container
[01:32] <Braden`> would that have anything to do with it?
[01:32] <Chipzzz> Braden`: have you rebooted?
[01:32] <Braden`> Chipzzz:  Same thing on reboo
[01:32] <Braden`> reboot
[01:32] <ubuntu> hej
[01:33] <siv0r> anybody have any luck modifying their default music player away from banshee? that is, from double clicking an mp3 in nautilus, launching into something other than banshee?
[01:33] <Chipzzz> you'll need to find out what init is doing... it's gone amok
[01:33] <Braden`> How would I figure that out?
[01:34] <dlentz> siv0r, right-click the mp3, select open with, choose your music player and make it the default
[01:35] <Pecker> agree with dlentz
[01:35] <Chipzzz> Braden`: that's a tough one...
[01:35] <dlentz> siv0r, nvm i see you tried that
[01:35] <Pecker> hmm weird..sfotware center is very weird
[01:35] <siv0r> dlentz, yeah, I've even tried 'forget association' on banshee
[01:35] <cavibird> I Just use apt-cache and apt-get
[01:36] <_k4> Braden`: ps -e
[01:36] <siv0r> dlentz, it seems pretty dead set on being the default, and I've no idea where the setting is residing to fix it by hand (only been using linux for a very short while)
[01:37] <Braden`> http://pastebin.com/Z40N9sXz <-- ps -e at the bottom
[01:37] <siv0r> I wonder if it's specific to nautilus, since that's where I'm opening the mp3s from
[01:37] <Sach> trying to convert .flv to .mpg with ffmpeg.  After the convert, I try to play the clip, but get the error: "GstMPEGAudioParse: No valid frames found before end of stream"
[01:38] <_k4> Braden`: You're running on a VPS?
[01:40] <Chipzzz> _k4: very observant... that explains it
[01:41] <thomedy> im sorry to be so needy i had to do a bit of googling to to get to where im at... my flash is fat 16 i was asked to format to fat 32 im doing that i installed gparted and when i select my flash as a device and go to format it is grayed out
[01:41] <thomedy> as in not an option
[01:41] <thomedy> and i selected the device
[01:42] <_k4> Chipzzz: and probably OpenVZ
[01:44] <ejcweb> I've got a folder full of (small) images and want to join them all together into a fast photo slideshow, rendered as a video. Each photo will probably show for 1 frame at most. What would you recommend to do this? Does a good tool exist? (The number of images is ~2000),
[01:44] <SaRSAeOL> ejcweb: iMovie does that pretty nicely
[01:44] <Chipzzz> oh yeah, i think he mentioned something about that earlier...
[01:44] <SaRSAeOL> ejcweb: sorry forgot this was the ubuntu irc
[01:46] <dfrkp> ejcweb: OpenShot is pretty good tool, but I'm unsure how easy it is to deal with that many files...
[01:47] <siv0r> I found a site that may have helped. in /etc/gnome there's defaults.list, which lists mime-types and the default application for each, which had this listed: audio/x-mp3=banshee.desktop
[01:50] <che_> che
[01:50] <`Korvin> hey, I installed ubuntu onto an external harddrive that was connected using esata, it screwed up my grub =O
[01:50] <`Korvin> I'm booted into a usb live disc
[01:50] <`Korvin> how can I fix it
[01:52] <siv0r> dlentz, woot! fixed it. No idea why that's not automated.
[01:53] <Braden`> _k4:  Yes, its OpenVZ
[01:53] <Braden`> I don't see why it would be 100% on a vps though
[01:54] <siv0r> dlentz, thanks for the help. solution is gedit /usr/share/applications/defaults.list and change audio-mpeg, mp3, etc. to the app of choice.
[01:54] <Chipzzz> Braden`: what is 100%?
[01:54] <`Korvin> 1/1
[01:55] <Chipzzz> Braden`: your init process is 40% but that is evidently your neighbors
[01:55] <rump> how can i add the backport repo and update to postfix 2.8 without updating every package
[01:55] <rump> i'm on lucid lts
[01:58] <_k4> Braden`: You're seeing the host usage, not hing you can do about that.
[01:58] <Fyodorovna> rump, technically this channel does not support installs out of the release.
[01:58] <thomedy> okay ... i changed my flash to fat 32 which is waht it shows in gparted
[01:58] <rump> Fyodorovna: i see, okay.
[01:58] <thomedy> and then i go to the gui and it says unetboot in is still an executable
[01:58] <Fyodorovna> rump, does not mena you wont get help on occasion, justa heads up. :)
[01:59] <Fyodorovna> mean*
[01:59] <thomedy> also it says in my gui that its filesystemtype is msdos
[01:59] <thomedy> please help fyodorovna thank you
[01:59] <Fyodorovna> thomedy, msdos underlies fat and ext type partitions.
[01:59] <trism> rump: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#Configuring_Backports_for_Manual_Install
[02:00] <thomedy> okay so im fat 32 then is that what you are saying
[02:00] <thomedy> i know gparted is saying that
[02:00] <Fyodorovna> thomedy, yeah.
[02:00] <thomedy> before it says fat16
[02:00] <thomedy> and now its fat 32
[02:00] <Fyodorovna> thats what you want fat32. thomedy
[02:00] <thomedy> question 2 it still says that my unetbootin is an executable
[02:00] <rump> trism++
[02:00] <rump> ty!
[02:00] <Fyodorovna> thomedy, where?
[02:00] <thomedy> when i run it i click it in the gui and it says cant run an executable
[02:01] <Fyodorovna> thomedy, what gui?
[02:01] <thomedy> just the normal screen
[02:01] <thomedy> the graphic user interface
[02:02] <thomedy> also now that i reformated the flash i cant seem to move stuff to it in the command line
[02:02] <Fyodorovna> thomedy, to be honest your overthinking this load it and boot it.
[02:02] <thomedy> i dont have to run it before i run it.
[02:03] <mcurran> Is there a way to make an exact copy of your whole partition in ubuntu?  I was thinking of using dd or make an iso somehow, but just wanted to know if anybody knew?
[02:03] <Fyodorovna> thomedy, you want a thumb you can boot a OS with right?
[02:03] <thomedy> yep
[02:03] <Fyodorovna> mcurran, clonezilla.org
[02:03] <thomedy> i have definately done this before but i remember running unetbootin and making the iso... a thing
[02:03] <Fyodorovna> thomedy, then open unetbootin load the iso and reboot to it.
[02:03] <Guest14034> Hey everyone
[02:04] <thomedy> but tscool
[02:04] <thomedy> i will just run it
[02:04] <Guest14034> I couldn't seem to get my Ubuntu 11.10 to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04
[02:04] <thomedy> sorry
[02:04] <thomedy> do in it
[02:04] <Guest14034> I followed the instructions and it didn't work.
[02:04] <Fyodorovna> Guest14034, not a good idea it is in development.
[02:05] <Fyodorovna> Guest14034, is the 11.10 your main OSD?
[02:05] <che__> hello
[02:05] <Fyodorovna> OS*
[02:05] <Guest14034> Yes
[02:06] <Guest14034> It's not in a virtual machine if that is what you were asking.
[02:06] <che__> could anyone give me some pointers on getting some munin help
[02:06] <Guest14034> My machine is dual booted however.
[02:06] <Fyodorovna> Guest14034, then yhu definately d\should not be ugrading to 12.04 it is development it has not been released.
[02:07] <Fyodorovna> Guest14034, dual booted with what?
[02:07] <che__> yea... i am still on 10.04 for my builds
[02:09] <che__> if someone knows a good channel for help with munin I would greatly appreciate it.
[02:10] <KFP> Hey!
[02:10] <KFP> I've noticed that Ubuntu 11.10 often gets confused with programs that are running in maximized windows.
[02:11] <geirha> che__: I take it you've tried #munin?
[02:11] <Fyodorovna> KFP, how about a definition for confused.
[02:12] <KFP> The top bar doesn't work properly.
[02:12] <che__> yea... channel is dead
[02:12] <Fyodorovna> KFP, in what way?
[02:12] <mrd_> any network monitoring software for ubuntu ?
[02:13] <mrd_> any network monitoring software for ubuntu ?
[02:13] <che__> for net mon use wireshark
[02:13] <mrd_> any network monitoring software for ubuntu ?  expect wireshark
[02:13] <mrd_> any network monitoring software for ubuntu ?  expect wireshark
[02:13] <KFP> Fyodorovna: Recently, it seems to often happen that the menus in the top bar just disappear, so that the only options are minimize, maximize and close.
[02:14] <che__> all kinds but wireshark is best for auditing what you rely have going on
[02:14] <Fyodorovna> KFP, you may need to click the window then the top bar or something like that.
[02:14] <geirha> che__: Well, I'd idle in the channel and "strike" again when it gets lively
[02:15] <KFP> Fyodorovna: I've had the problem a number of times now and have clicked here and there (otherwise I wouldn't be whining about it). :)
[02:15] <che__> geirha... thanx for the advi... i will bounce back and fourth... just kink of anxious since i have limited time and am frustrated now
[02:16] <KFP> Fyodorovna: The problem seems to be happening with *at least* the Audacious music player and the XChat IRC client.
[02:16] <Fyodorovna> KFP, hard to say what the problem is I had to restrt the ldm at one point, could be tweaks to compiz, if you have made any changes.
[02:16] <che__> mrd .... what are you looking to monitor exactly?
[02:17] <beejeebus> does anyone know why php5 for precise has a build-depends on mysql-server-core-5.5?
[02:17] <che__> php and mysql have become intertwined in the last few years... lots of libs that have dependents
[02:18] <KFP> Fyodorovna: Nope, no changes. Sometimes X gets completely frozen when I alt-tab from one window to another.
[02:18] <beejeebus> che__: ok. but mysql server?
[02:18] <Fyodorovna> KFP, hard to say good luck.:)
[02:18] <Itaku> I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop, booting off of the CD theres no video. Anyone know a fix?
[02:19] <che__> beejeebus... not sure... but there must be a lib that has a dependent with it
[02:19] <Fyodorovna> !nomodeset | Itaku
[02:19] <Fyodorovna> Itaku, nomodeset or the alternative cd works generally.
[02:19] <Itaku> thanks.
[02:20] <KFP> Fyodorovna: Well, it's not a huge problem, perhaps 12.04 will help once it's released.
[02:21] <che__> beejeebus: I am kind of rusty with irc... havn't used it in years...
[02:23] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> I just messed up Ubuntu
[02:24] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> I accidently pressed alt ctr f2 on my other username
[02:24] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> couldn't figure out how to get out so i typed startx
[02:24] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> Now i can't login to my user name at all..
[02:24] <jslTBH> might be on another virtual console - try CTRL ALT F7 (Default virtual console for X)
[02:25] <che__> lol
[02:25] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> im on root now
[02:25] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> should i do that on there?
[02:25] <che__> your ctrl alt and f1 through 7 are just different tty's
[02:26] <bazhang> ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT, is this backtrack
[02:26] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> no... this is Ubuntu 11.10
[02:26] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> im used to backtrack, that is why i typed in startx
[02:26] <gener1c> startx is fun
[02:26] <bazhang> the root account is disabled ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT
[02:26] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> i had to login to root on Ubuntu just to get on here
[02:26] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> I enabled root in Ubuntu
[02:27] <bazhang> ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT, no there is no need for that , ever
[02:27] <gener1c> albert your name hurts my eyes
[02:27] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> my other account is admin
[02:27] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> I know, but it's somewhat good i did it because now i can get on chat
[02:27] <KFP> Fyodorovna: XChat seems to have lost the top bar menu again. :\
[02:28] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> any help?
[02:28] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> Oh, and it says i am still logged in on that name
[02:28] <che__> yea ... ctrl alt f7
[02:28] <KFP> Fyodorovna: The minmax options are there but nothing else.
[02:28] <bazhang> ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT, it's not clear what your question is
[02:29] <bazhang> ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT, there is never a need to login as root, let alone irc as root
[02:30] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> Ok here is my problem. I was on my other username (which was an admin) and i pressed ctr-alt F2. It took me to a text command. I typed in startx (because i thought it would start the ox back up) and it did some weird stuff. I restarted the comp and tried to login to that same name. It does nothing. I had to login to root to get on here.
[02:30] <che__> bazhag... your missing the issue... he switched tty's and didnt' know how he got there
[02:30] <dr_willis> ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT,  you were allready in 'X' when you ran startx. so  the command would not be what you wanted.
[02:30] <bazhang> ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT, what is some "weird stuff" clarify
[02:30] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> I don't recall. I had to reboot the computer.
[02:30] <dr_willis> ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT,  you so the login screen worked?
[02:31] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> It was alien language if anything.
[02:31] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> yup
[02:31] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> the login screen works perfectly
[02:31] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> oh and btw when i go to user accounts it says i am still logged in
[02:32] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> Any ideas?
[02:32] <alexGla> setting git-hub repo, trying to copy key from git-hub. fail every time
[02:33] <dr_willis> ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT,  try making a new user. see if works for them
[02:33] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> okay
[02:34] <vacho> how do I get a log to print out automatically?
[02:35] <vacho> I do cat, but I have to run cat everytime its appended, how do I get it to output automatially everytime it's appended
[02:35] <trism> vacho: tail -f /path/to/log
[02:35] <vacho> ur the man thx
[02:35] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> i was able to create a new user
[02:35] <dr_willis> the log colorizer tools are handy also
[02:36] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> im more worried about losing all the files on that account
[02:36] <che__> so dose no one here know anything about munin
[02:36] <dr_willis> ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT,  if the new user works.. then its some setting of the old users that seem to be the issue.
[02:37] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> Is there a way to reset that?
[02:37] <dr_willis> you can login to the console and  clean out some settings.
[02:37] <bazhang> !info munin | che__
[02:37] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> how do i do that
[02:37] <dr_willis> in linux theres normally always a way. :)
[02:38] <dr_willis> ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT,  depends on what setting is the issue.  you could start by renameing the .config and .gnome* dirs, (or moveing them to some sub dir to archive them incase you want to try to get your settings back)
[02:38] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> ok i will give it a try.
[02:38] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> Thanks
[02:38] <dr_willis> bbl
[02:41] <lilVaratep> how do you leave an IRC ## ?
[02:41] <lilVaratep> Nevermind =D
[02:46] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> ok here is the error i am getting
[02:46] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> when restarting gnome
[02:46] <OldOneEye> if i have multipul ip address assigned by my isp how can i change the host name so internet users see haxor.box
[02:46] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> when i logout
[02:46] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> it says sessions not unmounting
[02:46] <OldOneEye> like in shell accounts
[02:47] <liubin> hit
[02:49] <airtonix> how do you set "resize with right mouse button" in 11.10? (in previous versions i could do this in gconf-editor, however ubuntu now uses dconf and that option isn't available there)
[02:50] <faissal> hi guys, whats wrong with my compiz volume overlay icon, it has turned to a low res image ? can i fix that ?
[02:50] <lilVaratep> faissal: can you please rephrase?
[02:51] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> Press alt ctr F2
[02:51] <faissal> lilVaratep: sorry, i meant to say that the overlay icon when i press volume up or down is now a lowresolution image, im running ubuntu precise with compiz turned on
[02:52] <bazhang> faissal, #ubuntu+1 for precise
[02:52] <faissal> ok bazhang
[02:52] <bazhang> ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT, who are you addressing
[02:52] <OldOneEye> if i have multipul ip address assigned by my isp how can i change the host name so internet users see haxor.box like in shells
[02:52] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> sorry i pressed ctrl f1 when i did that
[02:53] <ALBERTTTTTTTTTTT> One of my users will not unmount.
[02:53] <trism> airtonix: alt+middle-click maybe? seems to work in oneiric gnome-shell
[02:54] <airtonix> trism: yes i know that alt+middle click drag is the default, but i have always prefered (and been able to) change it to alt+rightclick drag.
[02:54] <airtonix> trism: in fact on my system 76 11.10 64bit laptop, i did somehow change it to alt+rightclick drag
[02:54] <wingdspur> OldOneEye: add your entry to /etc/hosts
[02:55] <OldOneEye> but wat will my external host be on the internet
[02:55] <erpo> I have a pptp vpn set up in networkmanager, and it keeps dropping out. Where can I look for log files to figure out why the connection is dropping?
[02:58] <vostro> wow
[02:58] <lilVaratep> wow... who said to press control alt f2
[02:58] <iiioxx> erpo: I'd start by tailing /var/log/syslog following your disconnect.
[02:58] <lilVaratep> anyone know how to get out of control alt f2?
[02:59] <airtonix> trism: short answer, you have to install compizconfig-settings-manager and change it there
[02:59] <airtonix> lilVaratep: ctrl alt f8
[02:59] <trishxo> how to format dvd-rw discs?
[02:59] <airtonix> trishxo: braeso or kd3
[03:00] <trishxo> airtronix: thank you very kindly sir.
[03:00] <bazhang> trishxo, brasero is what he meant
[03:00] <Roasted> Question - if I drop a bin bash script in cron.daily, will it run... daily? Is that what it's meant for or am I to schedule it in cron like any other job?
[03:00] <trishxo> bazhang: w,e i knew what he meant, so.
[03:00] <bazhang> and k3b
[03:00] <airtonix> trishxo: sorry kb3 not kd3
[03:00] <airtonix> at least i think
[03:01] <lilVaratep> what's ctrl alt f8 do
[03:01] <iiioxx> Roasted: yep, that
[03:01] <bazhang> k3b airtonix
[03:01] <lilVaratep> it just turned my screen blank
[03:01] <airtonix> that
[03:01] <iiioxx> that's what the directory is for.
[03:01] <airtonix> lilVaratep: try f9 or f7
[03:01] <trishxo> airtronix: w,e dude, i got it on brasero now so thx.
[03:01] <johnzorn> from the command line how would I query the x server to find out the displays and to turn them on/off
[03:01] <lilVaratep> f7 brings me back
[03:01] <lilVaratep> but in general what does ctrl + alt + f(x) do?
[03:01] <Roasted> iiioxx, do you know if the cron.daily executes at a specific time daily? I'm trying to figure out if the system is suspended 18 hours a day if it'll still manage to run daily....
[03:02] <trishxo> airtronix: now how do i actually format it? lol
[03:02] <airtonix> lilVaratep: sometimes it's different from machine to machine so you can't be sure
[03:02] <Fyodorovna> lilVaratep, takes you to the tty.
[03:02] <lilVaratep> what's tty?
[03:02] <lilVaratep> !tty
[03:02] <airtonix> trishxo: not sure, i think it's been 20 years since i touched a optical disc
[03:02] <trishxo> airtronix: you use usb to install linux?
[03:03] <airtonix> trishxo: k3b is actually more feature rich, (if you fond brasero lacking)
[03:03] <airtonix> trishxo: yeah all the time now, previously through network
[03:03] <iiioxx> Roasted: cat /etc/crontab
[03:03] <trism> airtonix: yeah I found it for gnome-shell too, still gconf: gconftool-2 -t bool -s /apps/metacity/general/resize_with_right_button true;
[03:04] <lilVaratep> is there a way to install ubuntu on same hard drive as w7? except not using wubi, because what if i want to format my w7?
[03:04] <airtonix> trism: which is of course only applicable to older versions of ubuntu yes?
[03:04] <Roasted> iiioxx, do you understand what I'm asking? That does nothing.
[03:04] <trism> airtonix: no I just tried it, still works in 11.10
[03:04] <airtonix> trism: doesn't for me. (in gnome shell)
[03:04] <iiioxx> Roasted: cat /etc/crontab and it will tell you what time your daily jobs will run.
[03:05] <trism> airtonix: did you restart the shell?
[03:05] <Roasted> iiioxx, no, no it doesn't.
[03:05] <Roasted> iiioxx, my job isn't set in /etc/crontab, its simply sitting in /etc/cron.daily because I was told th ose jobs will execute daily.
[03:05] <iiioxx> Roasted: you don't have a line like '25 6	* * *	root	test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )'
[03:06] <iiioxx> in you /etc/crontab?
[03:06] <Roasted> iiioxx, oh, I see that now. :X
[03:06] <Sach> Why does my libre office document always open in a new workspace in ubuntu 11.04?
[03:06] <subthalamus> lilVaratep: if you dont already have a separate partition, youll have to create one first
[03:06] <Roasted> iiioxx, so if the system isnt on at that specific time, it wont EVER run... eh?
[03:06] <subthalamus> then installing ubuntu into it is childsplay
[03:06] <lilVaratep> subthalamus: and to do that i'd have to uninstall w7?
[03:06] <airtonix> trism: thanks for that, this was the missing step
[03:06] <iiioxx> Roasted: correct.
[03:07] <subthalamus> lilVaratep: no
[03:07] <Roasted> iiioxx, well, that sucks. I was hoping it worked more like deja dup, where it was intelligent enough to realize the system was turned off previously when it tried to run and jsut go.
[03:07] <Pecker> anyone have keyboard and mouse freezing issues with 10.04
[03:07] <lilVaratep> subthalamus: w7 cd wont let me partition because i already have an OS on this
[03:07] <subthalamus> lilVaratep: I'd suggest using a livecd with gparted and shuffle things around
[03:08] <airtonix> trism: i have one of those microsoft arc mice that flattens out (this middle button is actually a touch pad) so middle click is a tedious double tap
[03:08] <iiioxx> Roasted: I don't believe that's the case.  you could test it.  shut down the system prior to the scheduled time, wait until after, and then boot up again.  cron might do a 'catch up' on start, but I don't believe that's the case.
[03:08] <trism> airtonix: yeah it seems to work better with right-click than middle-click on my mouse as well (smoother)
[03:09] <subthalamus> lilVaratep: clear?
[03:09] <researcher123> whats the best method to backup and restore all my installed applications and settings on Ubuntu 11.10?
[03:09] <lilVaratep> subthalamus:yup
[03:09] <Roasted> iiioxx, thanks for the info. I think I'll take this question over to ##linux since cron can apply to far more than ubuntu.
[03:09] <lilVaratep> lilVaratep
[03:09] <iiioxx> Roasted: np.  sound plan
[03:10] <Roasted> iiioxx, to be honest, I find that hard to believe now that I think about it.
[03:10] <airtonix> researcher123: aptoncd will do all your debs (but not your settings), for system wide settings i use etckeeper (a git based revision system) and for your user settings, just copy the hidden folders in your home folder (bar a few of them)
[03:10] <Roasted> iiioxx, there are many scripts in /etc/cron.daily that I didn't put there. The system would have to be intelligfent enough to acknowledge them.
[03:10] <Roasted> iiioxx, I didn't think it would catch up till I remembered 8 or 9 other scripts in there...
[03:10] <Pecker> anyone?
[03:11] <Roasted> iiioxx, drat. cancel that. they just confirmed it won't run unless it's on. :/

[03:11] <iiioxx> Roasted: doing a quick search, it seems anacron might catch missed jobs in the /etc/cron.daily, /etc/cron.hourly, etc.
[03:12] <Fyodorovna> researcher123, remastersys is a nice way to go.
[03:12] <Pecker> and noone reads previous chat
[03:12] <Pecker> anyone have keyboard and mouse freezing issues with 10.04
[03:12] <Pecker> there..read chat next time lol
[03:12] <iiioxx> Roasted: from the anacron manpage: "Unlike cron(8), it does not assume that the machine is running continuously."
[03:13] <Fyodorovna> researcher123, you can also just clone it.
[03:13] <Roasted> iiioxx, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutoWeeklyUpdateHowTo
[03:13] <Roasted> iiioxx, I see that now.
[03:13] <researcher123> airtonix: whats a etckeeper: How do I get it?
[03:14] <airtonix> researcher123: sudo apt-get install etckeeper. if you're not familiar with git then it's not for you. however what it does is watch the files in /etc and when changes are made during apt-get operations it creates commits (so you can rollback to previous versions)
[03:14] <Ubuntunub> Evening everyone.  :)
[03:14] <airtonix> researcher123: if you're only concerned about your userland settings then just focus on your home folder

[03:17] <Roasted> iiioxx, this isnt by default though, is it?
[03:17] <Roasted> iiioxx, this needs to be set up, right?
[03:18] <droid-0854> Lilvaratep ive tried it
[03:18] <lilVaratep2> I hate the dash in ubuntu 11.10
[03:19] <iiioxx> Roasted: no, grazing through the anacron manpage it seems to be default behavior to make up the missed jobs.  give it a read and see what you think.
[03:19] <droid-0854> Ku is a nice adapt and you can try lubumtu
[03:19] <droid-0854> Lubuntu*
[03:20] <Roasted> iiioxx, hm, this page - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutoWeeklyUpdateHowTo - is also from 2010. I wonder if it's changed since to be default like you're seeing.

[03:20] <Roasted> <3 lubuntu
[03:20] <iiioxx> Roasted: the DVD I'm ripping just finished, so I'm off to watch a movie.  give that anacron manpage a read, I think it will answer your question.  good luck!

[03:23] <Khanna_Param> Hi i am newbie in ubuntu. recently installed the ubuntu 11.10.  I have a strange problem, which i have been trying to solve from past few weeks. The title bar is missing on pressing the window menu button. Can anyone help me out Please
[03:23] <joebodo> can you post a screen shot to imagebin ?
[03:24] <Ubuntunub> Evening everyone.  I have what is likely a simple problem -- I have a backup.sh script I'm running to make a copy of a ramdisk dir and put it on another standard HD location dir.  However, it seems to be making a new folder level every time.  I.E.  I have opt/ramdisk and opt/ramdisk-save.  After the cron executes the backup.sh, I have opt/ramdisk and opt/ramdisk-save/ramdisk, (and after another cycle opt/ramdisk-save/ramdisk/ramdisk
[03:24] <Fyodorovna> Khanna_Param, have you changed anything in compiz?
[03:24] <droid-0854> Khanna I took the long route and made a new user
[03:24] <totesmuhgoats> sounds like a window manager problem
[03:24] <Pecker> anyone have keyboard and mouse freezing issues with 10.04?
[03:24] <Khanna_Param> I had earlier tried to play around with compiz
[03:24] <Ubuntunub> The script is rsync -a /opt/ramdisk/ /opt/ramdisk-save/                           Is it the -a that's causing issues?
[03:24] <Fyodorovna> Khanna_Param, reset compiz.
[03:25] <Khanna_Param> I changed compiz to install new theme
[03:25] <YohanMeister> has anyone here used, or even heard of, efi_stub?
[03:25] <overdub> Ubuntunub: you need -r for recursion
[03:25] <Khanna_Param> the problem actually started after i installed new theme.
[03:26] <Fyodorovna> Khanna_Param, changing compiz will cause this you can restart it to get the window headers back.
[03:26] <nnatomltop> Khanna_Param, I have had a a similar problem. You have to reset the window manager log out log back in.  It just frustrated me.
[03:26] <Fyodorovna> nnatomltop, you don't have to logut.
[03:26] <Ubuntunub> overdub:  Thank you.  I figured it was something to do with that pesky -a.  :)  Thanks!
[03:26] <Khanna_Param> can you guide me how to reset window manager/compiz
[03:26] <overdub> Ubuntunub: and the / at the end makes a difference
[03:26] <Khanna_Param> please
[03:27] <overdub> Ubuntunub: set up something simple and mess around with it both ways to get a feel for it
[03:27] <Fyodorovna> Khanna_Param, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html
[03:27] <Ubuntunub> overdub:  Should I not have that / at the end?
[03:28] <overdub> Ubuntunub: possibly, but I suggest setting something very simple up and trying it, then you'll know
[03:28] <Ubuntunub> overdub:  Will do.  Thanks again. :)
[03:28] <Fyodorovna> Khanna_Param, you can run this command as is as well.  gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz
[03:30] <haylo> i just did netinsatll and sound istn working
[03:30] <haylo> i intsalled alsa should i intstall pulseaudio?
[03:31] <Khanna_Param> Thanks everyone i will try and let you know what happened. I really appreciate the help
[03:33] <Pecker> anyone have keyboard and mouse freezing issues with 10.04?
[03:35] <haylo> ok so sound is working in root account- im not usre what i did wrong- il figure it out i guess
[03:35] <Fyodorovna> Pecker, pop a 10.04 cd in and see if it happens there.
[03:36] <Pecker> Fyodorovna: same result
[03:36] <Pecker> it freezes after about 30 seconds - 5 mins
[03:37] <Fyodorovna> Pecker, you booted a 10.04 cd?
[03:37] <Pecker> depeinsing in if you do a lto of things, or use firefox
[03:37] <Pecker> yep
[03:38] <lilVaratep2> pianobar is amazing if you want to listen to pandora in a terminal without flash: sudo apt-get install pianobar            i just tried it right now its awesome =D
[03:39] <Fyodorovna> Pecker, first time I have seen it on this chanell and I have 1000's of hours here, but here is the google of that info, maybe this will help. https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=keyboard+and+mouse+freezing+issues+with+10.04&gbv=1&sei=EZJRT7nDJsOuiAKmw8G0Bg
[03:40] <Pecker> k will check it out...
[03:41] <Fyodorovna> Pecker, the only thing I would ask is the ram amount?
[03:43] <Pecker> Fyodorovna: 4GB
[03:43] <Pecker> system works fine in 9.10
[03:44] <Yellowzinha> .i need help
[03:44] <Yellowzinha> how can i install Google Chrome?
[03:45] <Fyodorovna> Pecker, probably would work fine in another release but your bound by the attachment to gnome 2.
[03:45] <CFHowlett> Yellowzinha   chromium is the linux version ..
[03:45] <aBound> Yellowzinha, Grab the .deb file from the Official google chrome website.
[03:45] <Yellowzinha> i did that
[03:45] <Yellowzinha> and now?
[03:46] <Yellowzinha> but i dont wanna use terminal
[03:46] <dr_willis> install it
[03:46] <SaRSAeOL> you won't have to use terminal
[03:46] <Yellowzinha> terminal is difficult
[03:46] <aBound> Yellowzinha, Who says you have to use the terminal to install a .deb file?
[03:46] <SaRSAeOL> a .deb is it's own little installer
[03:46] <dr_willis> double click it  normally.
[03:46] <SaRSAeOL> you should be fine just letting it rock
[03:46] <Pecker> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/632048 one of the comments describes exact mobo model..will have to try it out
[03:47] <aBound> Yellowzinha, Once you download the .deb file for either 32-Bit or 64-Bit dependent on your processor. Double-click the .deb file from where you saved it and it should prompt you to install it.
[03:47] <dr_willis> get over the terminal phobia is a good idea also
[03:47] <Yellowzinha> i did
[03:47] <Yellowzinha> but is not installing
[03:47] <pat123> anyone knowns the command line to tell ubuntu that i have 4 gig of ram not 2...thanks
[03:47] <aBound> Yellowzinha, What's it doing?
[03:47] <CFHowlett> Yellowzinha   did it ask you for the administrator password?
[03:47] <Fyodorovna> pat123, yuo need a kernel I believe
[03:47] <Pecker> pat123: soudsn more of liek hardware to me, make sure the ram is properly seated
[03:47] <dr_willis> i find   sudo gdebi foo.deb  is faster  :)
[03:48] <Fyodorovna> you*
[03:48] <Yellowzinha> yeah
[03:48] <pat123> thanks guys ..
[03:48] <Yellowzinha> i was in Terminal
[03:48] <CFHowlett> Yellowzinha    do you KNOW the administrator password?
[03:49] <Yellowzinha> i know
[03:50] <Yellowzinha> chromium is free?
[03:50] <pat123> yes
[03:50] <CFHowlett> Yellowzinha   as is free beer
[03:50] <dr_willis> gpl yes
[03:51] <Pecker> gnome 2 doesnt bother me Fyodorovna, especially with unity ...dare i say crap... halving fps in games... (have to try anohter shell...)
[03:51] <Fyodorovna> !tab | use tab complete of nics so we know who yourtalking to
[03:52] <Fyodorovna> Yellowzinha, pat123 ^^^^
[03:52] <Yellowzinha> hi?
[03:52] <pat123> ?? :-)
[03:52] <Pecker> um i typed "Fy", pressed tab ,auto complete... then i get a tut on it? weird (lol)
[03:53] <Fyodorovna> Pecker, your showed the other users are not using nics it makes it convoluted.
[03:53] <Fyodorovna> yours*
[03:53] <Sach> Why does my libre office document always open in a new workspace in ubuntu 11.04?
[03:53] <Yellowzinha> Cross Over Chromium is good?
[03:53] <Fyodorovna> Sach, in a new workspace?
[03:53] <dr_willis> never heard of it Yellowzinha
[03:53] <Pecker> run that by again..that ddint make any sense
[03:53] <CFHowlett> Yellowzinha   chromium is in teh software center.  crossover is not.  Think about it.
[03:54] <Mayank1> Hi, Should I install LAMP server or install Apache2, PHP, MySQL separately on a Ubuntu Server? Any reason why I should not go for a LAMP install?
[03:54] <Fyodorovna> Pecker, the tab by the bot was not pointed at you.
[03:54] <Yellowzinha> tell me a site for download
[03:55] <CFHowlett> Yellowzinha   download what?
[03:55] <Fyodorovna> Yellowzinha, chromium is in the repos.
[03:55] <Yellowzinha> it isnt
[03:55] <Sach> Fyodorovna:  yes, my 11.04 is pre-installed with 4 workspaces (they are supposed to be used to avoid clutter on one screen)
[03:56] <CFHowlett> Yellowzinha   you need to enable universe packages
[03:56] <Pecker> oh
[03:56] <Fyodorovna> Sach, so libreoffice opens not in the one your on?
[03:56] <Sach> Fyodorovna: no, it opens in he second one for some reason
[03:56] <Pecker> now to rmeember hwo to blacklist drivers...
[03:57] <dr_willis> !blacklist
[03:57] <Fyodorovna> Sach, strange not sure why.
[03:57] <Sach> Fyodorovna:   thanks :)

[04:07] <dr_willis> lolcat^:  if it exists /etc/X11
[04:07]  * shelest *philosophize* Yellowzinha just too simple for Linux.
[04:08] <CFHowlett> Yellowzinha    as I said previously, you need to enable "universe" in your software center settings.  After that, chromium will appear ...
[04:08] <dr_willis> !repo
[04:08] <lolcat^> What could be a reason for me only being able to read my filesystem?
[04:08] <Yellowzinha> how can i enable universe?
[04:08] <Pecker> well i will get to fixing system later, not at it right now
[04:08] <Pecker> cya later
[04:08] <dr_willis> !universe
[04:09] <shelest> Yellowzinha: the Universe.
[04:09] <CFHowlett> Yellowzinha   open the software center.  In 10.04 the "settings" tab is in the lower left corner.  Click on settings and get back to me.
[04:10] <dr_willis> googles .deb adds its own repo i recall.
[04:10] <Yellowzinha> Shelest, please,, if u dont know how to help me.. be quiet! thanks!
[04:10] <Yellowzinha> ok CFHowlett
[04:10] <Firebolt> dr_willis: yeah, I think it does
[04:10] <shelest> it is not the Jedi way... download tar.gz. untar and ./configure && make && make install
[04:10] <CFHowlett> * Let's ALL be patient and courteous, please*
[04:12] <lolcat^> when I choose remount in the recovery menu, howdo I get back the menu again+
[04:12] <lolcat^> ?
[04:12] <kim_> ddd
[04:13] <dr_willis> just a guess.. try 'exit'
[04:14] <dr_willis> lolcat^:  exit may log you out. :)
[04:14] <lolcat^> no effect
[04:14] <lolcat^> I don't get a terminal
[04:14] <dr_willis> i rarely use the recovery mode
[04:15] <lolcat^> I just need  read mode
[04:15] <lolcat^> err
[04:15] <lolcat^> write
[04:15] <lolcat^> so  I can edit the xorg to worl
[04:15] <lolcat^> and change password
[04:16] <Fyodorovna> lolcat^, do you want to change the user password?
[04:16] <lolcat^> yes
[04:16] <dr_willis> you could just use the text mode
[04:16] <Fyodorovna> lolcat^, can you not login?
[04:16] <lolcat^> How do I list users?
[04:16] <lolcat^> Can't remember my username :P
[04:17] <dr_willis> ls /home    perhaps
[04:18] <CFHowlett> Yellowzinha   ???
[04:18] <Yellowzinha> CFHowlett, thank you!
[04:18] <lolcat^> dr_willis: found my username, cant remember password
[04:19] <fr3e> are there any other wyas to autocp[lete long names besides tab and asterisk? e.g. cd long_fil*
[04:19] <CFHowlett> Yellowzinha   thought you left.  So did you enable the "universe" in your software center?
[04:19] <Yellowzinha> yeah
[04:20] <CFHowlett> Yellowzinha   and chromium is available in the center now?
[04:20] <Yellowzinha> it is not
[04:20] <dr_willis> lolcat^:  time to start using the same user and pass on all systems i guess.
[04:21] <CFHowlett> Yellowzinha   okay, time for a bit of terminal.  run this command sudo apt-get update
[04:21] <sheep_> hey, i have a little issue with using wireless on ubuntu
[04:21] <sheep_> anyone around to give some help? :)
[04:21] <lolcat^> dr_willis: But I need to get the remount thing to work
[04:21] <lolcat^> Can I remount manually?
[04:21] <CFHowlett> sheep_   ask away
[04:22] <sheep_> alrighty
[04:22] <Yellowzinha> and now?
[04:22] <dr_willis> lolcat^:  you could
[04:22] <lolcat^> how?
[04:22] <dr_willis> -o remount to the mount command
[04:22] <CFHowlett> Yellowzinha   sudo apt-get install chromium
[04:22] <dr_willis> !mount
[04:22] <lolcat^> mount -o remount?
[04:23] <sheep_> when i connect to my home wireless (wndr 3700v2 running dd-wrt) in ubuntu 11, my router becomes unresponsive to everything on the network until it is physically turned off/on
[04:23] <sheep_> this doesn't happen when i connect through win7 wireless
[04:23] <sheep_> or through any other device i have
[04:24] <sheep_> if i connect through ethernet it's fine
[04:24] <lolcat^> dr_willis: worked :D

[04:46] <swaj> hey guys, I'm running precise beta, and so far, it rocks.  One thing I'd like to fix though is that when I move my mouse between screens, it "sticks" to the edge until I move it a certain distance.  Can I disable that?

[05:14] <codeperl> hello all
[05:15] <codeperl> i am in a problem with my package. can anyone please help me?
[05:15] <codeperl> http://pastebin.com/mNJpwmeh
[05:16] <codeperl> question is, how can i fix up this Broken Packages problem in ubuntu 11.04 and can install my packages.
[05:18] <gordonfreeman> hey guys
[05:18] <codeperl> hello
[05:18] <gordonfreeman> I installed ubuntu via wubi on my laptop. I was wondering if using lubi on wubi would work
[05:18] <codeperl> gordonfreeman, can you help me about my problem?
[05:19] <gordonfreeman> codeperl: maybe
[05:19] <codeperl> http://pastebin.com/mNJpwmeh
[05:20] <ponrajuganesh> Greetings!!!
[05:20] <codeperl> question is, how can i fix up this Broken Packages problem in ubuntu 11.04 and can install my packages.
[05:20] <CFHowlett> ponrajuganesh   greetings
[05:20] <ponrajuganesh> where could I find the sources.list file in ubunut 11/04
[05:21] <gordonfreeman> codeperl: just download and install them...
[05:21] <gordonfreeman> if they are broken, remove them and re do it
[05:21] <ponrajuganesh> could anyone do a pastebin of their sources.list since I am out of my internal networks I am not able to download the "Expect" I need the repostories of the ubuntu
[05:21] <CFHowlett> ponrajuganesh   /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:22] <codeperl> gordonfreeman: if you see the pastie, there is some dependencies
[05:22] <codeperl> so, How can i?
[05:22] <ponrajuganesh> I need the repositories of ubuntu links to be added in sources.list could u do a pastebin of that CFHowlett?
[05:22] <codeperl> I am a beginner.
[05:23] <CFHowlett> ponrajuganesh   I'm in Ubuntu Studio 10.04 - but see this tool.  http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/index.php
[05:23] <sacarlson> codeperl: I'm sure you already did : sudo apt-get update ; no?
[05:24] <gordonfreeman> I installed ubuntu via wubi on my laptop. I was wondering if using lubi on wubi would work
[05:24] <ponrajuganesh> oh will the repository links change CFHowlett? i don't think s
[05:24] <lanceio> if I install ubuntu-desktop on a server edition of ubuntu, automatically will the GUI start every time I start the computer? or should I manually type startx?
[05:24] <codeperl> sacarlson: ya, i did.
[05:24] <codeperl> but it's not working.
[05:24] <Fyodorovna> gordonfreeman, lubi?
[05:25] <gordonfreeman> fyodorovna: its what wubi is based on. basically wubi but for any distro and its supported only on unix
[05:25] <gordonfreeman> so basically im wanting to do what i did for ubuntu on windows, except now on ubuntu
[05:26] <codeperl> sacarlson: what i should do now? can you please suggest me the commands and procedures to fix this?
[05:26] <sacarlson> codeperl: did you do some custom modifications to your /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[05:26] <codeperl> sacarlson, i need to check. wait a moment please.
[05:27] <codeperl> sacarlson: not actually. i do not change anything.
[05:27] <zabomber> LachlanH: yes. it should
[05:28] <CFHowlett>  ponrajuganesh fwiw:   http://paste.ubuntu.com/866209/
[05:28] <codeperl> sacarlson: you need to see the file?
[05:29] <sacarlson> codeperl: sure pastebinit  to us,  what did you do to make this happen?
[05:29] <zabomber> anyone know of an "out of the box" irc bot in ubuntu?
[05:29] <zabomber> or do i have to utilize a perl skeleton of one and create it from scratch?
[05:29] <Fyodorovna> gordonfreeman, by and large wubi is not really supported, even by its designer at least for long term install.I virtual is a better idea really all in  all. You can try what you want but I'm not sure you will get much help, especially here as this is ubuntu support, just a heads up really.
[05:30] <Fyodorovna> I=A
[05:30] <ponrajuganesh> thanks CFHowlett
[05:30] <codeperl> i need to install ruby. so, at first i need to install rvm. in the process of installing rvm, a command gives me the error.
[05:30] <Firebolt> zabomber: perhaps look into supybot?
[05:31] <codeperl> sacarlson: http://pastebin.com/ehp06qi2
[05:31] <sacarlson> codeperl: did you try apt-get install ruby-full ?
[05:31] <codeperl> this is source.list
[05:32] <codeperl> sacarlson, no,  because of i need to install ruby via rvm
[05:32] <sacarlson> codeperl: I'm not sure but I think natty is at end of life or am I wrong?
[05:33] <codeperl> sacarlson: i am not clear also.
[05:33] <sacarlson> codeperl: no I must be wrong about that
[05:35] <codeperl> sacarlson: source.list, helps you to found out?
[05:38] <codeperl> sacarlson: you there?
[05:39] <sacarlson> codeperl: is this a standard supported mirror site deb-src http://mirrors.ispros.com.bd/ubuntu/ natty main restricted
[05:39] <cbush15> sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
[05:39] <cbush15> What does this mean and what is the way around?
[05:39] <sacarlson> codeperl: try change your host repository and try again
[05:39] <codeperl> sacarlson.i think yes.
[05:39] <sacarlson> codeperl: then try another
[05:40] <codeperl> sacarlson: ok i am trying.
[05:40] <lahwran> hi. I have ssh access to my desktop. I think I have a vnc server on it, but I tried to forward it and was unable to connect. is there some secret to forwarding vnc over ssh?
[05:40] <lahwran> I'm just using the default vnc server from 10.10
[05:40] <codeperl> thank you, sacarlson.
[05:41] <roasted> Question - I just set up a samba share using system-config-samba. It's configured identically to my other desktop, however, I cannot login. No errors or anything, it just comes back with the login screen again and again. Guest access is okay, just not with valid user access. Both machines Ubuntu (client and server) Any idea?
[05:42] <sacarlson> roasted: maybe you attempted to share from a file system that's not supported?  like maybe ntfs?  try share from your /home/user folder to verify
[05:42] <an0n> anyone know the software name on windows that allows you to update all your programs at once?
[05:43] <soreau> an0n: Try #windows. That has absolutely nothing to do with ubuntu
[05:43] <haylo> so my netinstall doesnt have much on it but has nautilus and thunar and stuff. is there a program i can install to mount drvies with like say other hard drive partitions or should i just be trying to mount them manually
[05:43] <haylo> normally ubuntu mounts them for me but like i said my netinstall is sort of lacking
[05:44] <haylo> other than that though everything is working perfect now
[05:44] <haylo> took me 2 days though
[05:44] <haylo> soryy to be a pain
[05:45] <sacarlson> haylo: nautilus will mount drives if the drive is set to user in fstab
[05:45] <haylo> ok il try to look il mak a link to fstab i guess
[05:45] <roasted> sacarlson, both systems are ubuntu, though. ext4.
[05:45] <sacarlson> haylo: fstab is a file in /etc/fstab
[05:46] <lahwran> how would I check if there is a vnc server running from the command line? I'd prefer to search for the appropriate open ports and check if it will accept connections as I can see the process in `ps aux` but not communicate with it over ssh.
[05:46] <sacarlson> roasted: ok that's supported
[05:47] <sacarlson> lahwran: sudo netstat -pant
[05:48] <haylo> im sorry - i see the drives in fstab but  i dont see anything about users
[05:48] <lahwran> hm that's not good, there's no mention of the process in that output. so now my question becomes, how do I start the "share your desktop" vnc server from the commandline? I think something related to gconftool, yes?
[05:49] <sacarlson> haylo: that may be why a standard user can't mount them, otherwise it will require sudo to mount
[05:49] <haylo> hmm i have a root account maybe i can access them in that if i really need to
[05:50] <sacarlson> haylo: just add user to the fstab of the disks you want your users able to auto mount http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html
[05:51] <acidrain> epic issue with my ubuntu box. i get error when loading any application just about: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. how do i fix this?
[05:51] <acidrain> does anyone know of a way i can just make this file not be needed? i know it doesnt come installed by default
[05:52] <roasted> Is there such thing as a samba log? I'm trying to troubleshoot this login issue but I have no error message so I'm not sure what could be wrong.
[05:52] <lahwran> acidrain: *any* application?
[05:53] <lahwran> acidrain: does the machine boot at all?
[05:53] <acidrain> lahwran: well... firefox, nautilus. rhythmbox
[05:53] <acidrain> konversation
[05:53] <acidrain> just about any useful application i can think of
[05:53] <lahwran> acidrain: okay, does a terminal open? if so, try `sudo ldconfig` and then try again
[05:53] <acidrain> yeah, hang on
[05:53] <lahwran> it may already be up to date in which case that will do no harm nor good
[05:54] <lahwran> but you can give that a try and see if it fixes it
[05:54] <acidrain> lahwran: appeared to not fix anything. same error
[05:54] <lahwran> acidrain: have you done anything recently which had anything to do with compiling or installing programs?
[05:55] <acidrain> well i had actually downloaded the file libstdc++.so.6.0.3 and it had a link to 6.0.0, and i moved them to usr/lib/ that is when the issue began. and i deleted them both, and the issue still remained
[05:56] <pangolin> try install libstdc++6-4.4-dev
[05:56] <helo_> i installed the ati driver from their website, and after uninstalling it i can't get the normal driver to load
[05:56] <acidrain> pangolin: i cant open synaptic package manager :(
[05:56] <lahwran> helo_: "normal driver"? ie, vesa?
[05:56] <lahwran> acidrain: sudo apt-get install libstdc++6-4.4-dev
[05:56] <pangolin> err wrong version, lawran what version does oneiric have
[05:56] <lahwran> if it boots, it should be able to do that
[05:57] <lahwran> oh I dunno
[05:57] <helo_> it always tries to load fglrx kernel module (which doesn't exist now), and fails trying to access /dev/fb0, says my chipset requires KMS, and fails with no screens found
[05:57] <lahwran> pangolin: I'm still on maverick
[05:57] <acidrain> lahwran: when issuing that command. i get same error :(
[05:57] <helo_> lahwran: presumably... the default driver that was loaded before i installed the ati driver
[05:57] <helo_> lahwran: i think there is an open source ati driver that should work in addition to vesa
[05:57] <lahwran> acidrain: how important is this install? the easiest way to solve this is a reinstall. you can rescue it if you like, but it will be a fair amount more effort than a reinstall if the current one isn't important
[05:58] <lahwran> !ati
[05:58] <acidrain> lahwran: i would prefer not to :/ i have several servers installed. that took weeks to setup
[05:58] <acidrain> lahwran: is this a bug?
[05:58] <pangolin> acidrain: no
[05:59] <lahwran> acidrain: no, it's you sticking your fingers in funny places and leaving holes bigger than they were when you started :p
[05:59] <acidrain> well ill take the long route to fix the issue. can i have some type of reference link?
[05:59] <sacarlson> acidrain: can you try sudo apt-get reinstall libstdc++6  ?
[05:59] <lahwran> he did, it fails too
[05:59] <acidrain> sacarlson: no. i get the error
[05:59] <lahwran> I'm very surprised this machine boots, honestly
[05:59] <acidrain> other part says: wrong elf class: elfclass32
[05:59] <lahwran> oh heavens I'm not qualified to fix that
[06:00] <droid-0854> Lol... elf
[06:00] <pangolin> acidrain: you have separate /home ?
[06:00] <sacarlson> acidrain: that manual link you made I guess you will have to reverse it , if that's even posible
[06:00] <lahwran> acidrain: but to fix the library issue, what I would do is grab your nearest bootable ubuntu live media for the appropriate version, boot it up, and then copy the files from the live media to the install that need to be replaced
[06:01] <acidrain> pangolin: actually when i rebooted, it appears to have loaded a separate account or a restored defaults.
[06:01] <helo_> law_: my card worked initially (after install) without the ati driver, but it isn't listed on the supported cards page of that howto link
[06:01] <lahwran> helo_: what card?
[06:01] <lahwran> helo_: you can find out with `lspci` if necessary
[06:01] <acidrain> lahwran: but the file was never there in the first place...
[06:01] <lahwran> wait, it wasn't?
[06:02] <lahwran> then ldconfig *should* have fixed this
[06:02] <acidrain> lahwran: ... no... i had to download it.
[06:02] <pangolin> acidrain: you are running Ubuntu correct?
[06:02] <lahwran> why did you download it? and from where?
[06:02] <acidrain> i downloaded it. it haxed me. i removed it. im still hax
[06:02] <droid-0854> Lah,acid Great idea mount default iso and pull files
[06:02] <acidrain> pangolin: yes, ubuntu
[06:02] <acidrain> i was getting this error when trying to run the shoutcast server. so i had to find the library file
[06:03] <lahwran> and where did you get the shoutcast server from?
[06:03] <lahwran> surely there is one in the repository
[06:03] <helo_> lahwran: radeon 6550D (apu for amd a8-6850 cpu)
[06:03] <acidrain> lahwran: i got the server from shoutcast.com
[06:03] <lahwran> acidrain: ah, I see
[06:03] <acidrain> pangolin: yes, ubuntu
[06:04] <lahwran> acidrain: what did ldconfig do? error?
[06:04] <pangolin> acidrain: I believe the best solution is to do a clean install, and to check the repos (software centre) before compiling
[06:04] <acidrain> lahwran: i got no error. no output at all
[06:05] <lahwran> okay that should have meant it worked
[06:05] <lahwran> where did you get this file from?
[06:05] <droid-0854> Acid you ran updates and apt-get update, update-db, sync and reboot stuff?
[06:05] <lahwran> droid-0854: he is unable to use apt-get
[06:05] <acidrain> lahwran: well i would like to show you a link. lol. but i had to dig for it
[06:06] <lahwran> acidrain: it's sounding more and more like this file was highly incompatible with your system and I'm about ready to tell you that you're just going to have to deal with having to reinstall
[06:06] <acidrain> lahwran: here is what im wondering. if i copy my entire usr/lib/ from this box to my server box, will it fix this issue?
[06:06] <droid-0854> Oh that is strange Acid did yoi
[06:06] <lahwran> it might. it also might royally screw things up
[06:06] <acidrain> lahwran: yeah im guessing it was incompatible too >_>
[06:07] <acidrain> lahwran: well whats the worse that could happen :/
[06:07] <Masroor> Hello
[06:07] <lahwran> your system becomes unbootable
[06:07] <acidrain> =(
[06:07] <droid-0854> You ls -a ect/sources.list?
[06:07] <lahwran> droid-0854: please read the full conversation before commenting further
[06:08] <droid-0854> May be chown or chgrp thing
[06:08] <acidrain> lahwran: ok so i can boot up a live cd on this computer. copy usr/lib/ to the server box, and try that?
[06:08] <Masroor> i am thinking to move to ubuntu but i want to know my laptop drivers will support out there ?
[06:08] <acidrain> since i know for a fast the live cd and my server box have same versions
[06:09] <lahwran> acidrain: I would copy it to a separate location, then attempt to diff all files to see which ones differ. if any differ, I would individually consider overwriting them
[06:09] <lahwran> acidrain: /usr/lib/ is very important and holds most libraries required to make your system go, it's not something to be trifled with
[06:11] <acidrain> lahwran: wow. what a fail. no other drives will mount.
[06:11] <acidrain> i cant even back my system up
[06:11] <acidrain> =///
[06:11] <lahwran> reboot it to a live media
[06:11] <pangolin> you can mount them by booting to a live cd
[06:11] <pangolin> then backup
[06:12] <acidrain> pangolin: now define live cd for me again? :)
[06:12] <lahwran> what's a good separate-session vnc server?
[06:12] <pangolin> acidrain: an Ubuntu Desktop cd
[06:12] <lahwran> acidrain: is this on a vps?
[06:13] <lahwran> ie, a good, fast vnc server, which can easily be set up, and which will create a separate session from my main desktop login
[06:13] <acidrain> lahwran: vps?
[06:14] <lahwran> that's a no
[06:14] <acidrain> lol
[06:14] <acidrain> ok im booting into live cd now :/ man what a bummer. i knew i shouldnt have touched that stuff
[06:16] <acidrain> this is without a doubt the most epic fail of the year.
[06:16] <acidrain> does ubuntu have a repair option?
[06:16] <acidrain> that would be great
[06:17] <CFHowlett> acidrain   only on the alternate installer cdroms
[06:17] <rymate1234> how do I wipe a DVD-RW
[06:18] <acidrain> i hope i am actually able to access the files
[06:19] <Brewster> how do I add a user to the sudoers file?
[06:19] <acidrain> or if win7 would actually detect a ext4 file system, then we would be alot better off
[06:21] <christinepea777> I know others have had this problem and Ive checked forums but nothing seems to work. I run Ubuntu from a USB stick, it's worked fine until recently, when I try and boot it up it hangs at the splash screen and just sits there. any help? :(
[06:21] <Fyodorovna> rymate1234, I think you can right click it and blank.
[06:21] <Fyodorovna> christinepea777, this was a iso load with persistent?
[06:22] <christinepea777> Fyodorovna, yes
[06:22] <Fyodorovna> christinepea777, couple of possibilities a kernel upgrade will mess it up and the persistent file fills up as well it can't really be cleaned easily.
[06:24] <christinepea777> I didnt do any kernal upgrades, the only think I think I could have done is installed mplayer. in any event, I don't mind reformatting the USB stick and reinstalling, I'd just like to rescue some of my files from the USB stick first.
[06:24] <Fyodorovna> christinepea777, you just need to remove the casper-rw file that is the persistent, it will remove everything added though.
[06:25] <christinepea777> Fyodorovna, if I remove that file I won't be able to recover any of my documents?
[06:25] <Fyodorovna> christinepea777, exactly.
[06:26] <christinepea777> Fyodorovna, do you know of any other possible solution?
[06:26] <Fyodorovna> christinepea777, you can do full installs on a big enough thumb it will run and save and clean like a regular install.
[06:27] <acidrain> how can i backup a sql database from linux while running win7?
[06:27] <christinepea777> Fyodorovna, perhaps if I boot up directly to the CLI thus bypassing the GUI splash screen I can recover my documents, does that sound reasonable?
[06:28] <Fyodorovna> christinepea777, not really myself others might, most people don't know this about that persistent file that it fills up. I'm just guessing that is the problem here, but most likely.
[06:28] <peteyg> acidrain: do you have SSH access to the linux box?
[06:28] <acidrain> i have win7 on a internal drive inside my linux box
[06:28] <acidrain> so i have to boot separate, i can only access files
[06:28] <christinepea777> Fyodorovna, when I try and boot the USB stick and use the Live option, I have the same issue.
[06:29] <Fyodorovna> christinepea777, not sure about the cli, you might get to them from another linux os not sure really.
[06:29] <christinepea777> Fyodorovna, is it possible to boot up to just the CLI?
[06:30] <Fyodorovna> christinepea777, not sure about the cli, and I'm not sure I understand this post..."when I try and boot the USB stick and use the Live option, I have the same issue."
[06:30] <acidrain> i need tis database :(
[06:32] <christinepea777> Fyodorovna, well when you boot up with the USB with ubuntu on it you are prompted with an options screen, you can either boot up in persistent mode (and thus save data to your linux OS) or you can boot up into live mode. which is like a regular liveCD, it doesnt include your persistent file.
[06:32] <Fyodorovna> christinepea777, I would check if you boot a live cd or another thumb then plugin this thumb you might get the documents, not sure really.
[06:33] <Fyodorovna> christinepea777, ah I haven't used a persistent thumb for awhile. I think it is just full the oersistent file that is, but I'm guessing here.
[06:33] <Fyodorovna> persistent*
[06:33] <jadoe> I'm trying to compile s2-liplianin drivers on 11.10 with kernel 3.0.0-16, I get this ( http://sprunge.us/MMCG ) error. They build fine one 10.04. This problem is also mentioned here ( http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/S2-liplianin#Kernel_3.0-3.1 ) without fix. This is not a layer 8 problem on my side, I guess? What do I do? Buy a new TV card? Use an old kernel?
[06:34] <Fyodorovna> christinepea777, I have seen people claim to clean that file, but never actualy seen it done personally, gives you something to look at though if that is the problem.
[06:35] <christinepea777> Fyodorovna, yeah, I'm pretty sure it's got space in it. I think mplayer altered my bootup configs in some manner and that's causeing my to hang at the splash screen. I can press ESC and see all the stuff scrolling by and it's all a bunch of errors.
[06:36] <Fyodorovna> christinepea777, mplayer should not touch the boot thats a long casue and effect jump. :)
[06:36] <Fyodorovna> cause*
[06:36] <helo_> i installed a sblive, and it is not appearing in /proc/asound/cards
[06:37] <helo_> i see that the snd_emu10k1 and related modules are loaded
[06:37] <christinepea777> Fyodorovna, heh, well I was speculating that maybe mplayer altered the sound config in some way and during bootup it encountered errors with the sound config
[06:37] <pankaj> hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[06:38] <Fyodorovna> christinepea777, anything can happen how big was the persistent, and how long did you use the install?
[06:38] <karthick87> Is there any light weight desktop ?
[06:38] <christinepea777> It was like 4gigs, I used the install for like 2 weeks. the persistent file still have 2+gigs of free space when I last checked.
[06:39] <karthick87> Is there any light weight desktop  with nice GUI other than GNOME?
[06:39] <Fyodorovna> christinepea777, how did you check?
[06:39] <CFHowlett> karthick87   lxde xfce4
[06:40] <solpeth> karthick87: window managers like openbox are also good
[06:40] <christinepea777> Fyodorovna, I dunno, I just looked at fdisk -l or something
[06:40] <karthick87> CFHowlett: How to install it?
[06:40] <CFHowlett> karthick87   look in your software center ...
[06:41] <karthick87> solpeth: What is openbox?
[06:41] <adhf> "/list"
[06:41] <mohsin^> hi
[06:41] <lolcat^> It won't let me move the sound thing
[06:41] <lolcat^> why not?
[06:41] <Fyodorovna> christinepea777, I remember when I used a persistent, just checking it out I could not really get a accurate empty full amount just to the nature of the setup.
[06:41] <christinepea777> fyodorovna nod
[06:42] <mohsin^> i need help with turning off left bar on the desktop ..or at least make is collapse
[06:42] <Fyodorovna> mohsin^, collapse?
[06:42] <solpeth> karthick87: it's a window manager, without all the extras of a desktop environment like GNOME. I'm not currently using it but it is fantastic
[06:42] <mohsin^> autohide Fyodorovna
[06:42] <Fyodorovna> mohsin^, do you mean hide
[06:43] <Fyodorovna> mohsin^, the unity plugin in ccsm is the control
[06:44] <mohsin^> Fyodorovna,  .. a little slower please
[06:44] <dr_willis> !ccsm
[06:44] <satyanash> Hi, is a there a file system that is better than FAT32 but is natively compatible with both windows and linux ?
[06:45] <dr_willis> satyanash:  ntfs
[06:45] <rymate1234> ntfs
[06:45] <satyanash> NTFS, will linux auto-defrag NTFS ?
[06:45] <dr_willis> satyanash:  no
[06:45] <satyanash> :(
[06:45] <mohsin^> I have compiz installed but it has so may options I dont have a clue what to turn on or off
[06:45] <satyanash> dr_willis, is the NTFS support good ?
[06:46] <lilVaratep> Dang, still working on that compiz problem?
[06:46] <Fyodorovna> mohsin^, ccsm is the compizconfigm settings manager there is a uintyn plugin there your using the unity desktop. In that plugin are controls for that bar.
[06:46] <satyanash> dr_willis, I mean, does disk resizing fail often ?
[06:46] <dr_willis> mohsin^:  unity plugin has the settings
[06:46] <dr_willis> satyanash:  gparted can resize ntfs
[06:47] <satyanash> okay. I hope it works. I dont have space to take Backup. xD
[06:47] <dr_willis> data worth keeping is worth backing up
[06:47] <acidrain> satyanash: you can buy space for like 5$ at walmart
[06:47] <acidrain> 16gb
[06:48] <CFHowlett> dr_willis   whoa.  Do you like have that saying on a plaque that I could buy somewhere?  :)
[06:48] <satyanash> acidrain,  You do realize, not everybody has has walmart.
[06:48] <acidrain> do you not have a computer store of some type?
[06:48] <acidrain> a kroger?
[06:48] <dr_willis> 4gb was like $7
[06:48] <satyanash> acidrain, Do you mean Flash Drives ?
[06:49] <acidrain> all stores should have them by the checkout line
[06:49] <dr_willis> saw 16gb for $18 tofay
[06:49] <acidrain> satyanash: yes, just enough space for you to backup for now, until you can get something bigger
[06:49] <Fyodorovna> 32 gig class 10 sdhc 35$
[06:49] <acidrain> satyanash: newegg.com :)
[06:49] <satyanash> will check, getting a MicroSD Class 4 8GB card.
[06:49] <dr_willis> ubuntu one has 5gb for free
[06:50] <chris_0076> ok, so some fairly critial files have been deleted off my desktop, how might I go about recovering them?
[06:50] <satyanash> dr_willis, I dont have unlimited/ fast internets.
[06:50] <acidrain> satyanash: dont trust it! ubuntu one will hax your information!
[06:50] <chris_0076> from what I have seen it can be done with scalpel
[06:50] <Fyodorovna> chris_0076, you look in the trash?
[06:50] <satyanash> acidrain, yes, I have seen it happen.
[06:50] <chris_0076> nothing in the trash
[06:50] <dr_willis> data worth keeping is worth backing up
[06:50] <satyanash> acidrain, Fortunately I had backup.
[06:50] <chris_0076> the files are just gone
[06:50] <satyanash> "then"
[06:51] <chris_0076> they were on the desktop ~15 mins ago... now they are not
[06:51] <Fyodorovna> chris_0076, you look at the desktop from home, if the manager crashed.
[06:51] <acidrain> satyanash: i know what you mean, i just luckily found my most recent backup of all of my files. and i am about to make like 10 more copies and hide them from myself
[06:51] <satyanash> :D
[06:51] <chris_0076> the /home/USER/Desktop is also missing the files
[06:52] <acidrain> i have to reformat, and now i have to go through the annoying eth0 wired driver issue again <_<
[06:53] <chris_0076> there were also several folders in the "files" lost, so >.>
[06:53] <satyanash> What would you suggest to backup ~50GB of files, local rsync? cp? local scp ?
[06:54] <dr_willis> depends on what you are backing to. and the files
[06:54] <satyanash> external->internal
[06:54] <satyanash> NTFS->EXT4
[06:54] <chris_0076> so, any thoughts?
[06:55] <satyanash> Files: loads of ISOs and distro disk images.
[06:55] <mohsin^> I have tried to set the switcher settings to autohide but nothing seems to be different
[06:56] <dr_willis> mohsin^: try log out and back in
[06:56] <totesmuhgoats> satyanash: some people put more confidence in the linux ntfs driver than others. i personally don't trust it. i would rather keep the ntfs disk in a windows pc and mount it via cifs if i need to access it from linux
[06:56] <mohsin^> ok
[06:56] <mohsin^> see ya soon
[06:57] <Fyodorovna> totesmuhgoats, you funny joe. :)
[06:57] <satyanash> totesmuhgoats, sure, but copying from NTFS wouldnt really matter right ? As it would be just reading from NTFS and writing to EXT4.. ?
[06:58] <dr_willis> satyanash:  not a problem
[06:58] <acidrain> ugh
[06:58] <GhostWolf> hi all, i have a question, i have looked at the website for webcam that would work well with ubuntu, should i look for ones that work with 11.10?
[06:58] <acidrain> about to drop kick linux right now
[06:58] <dr_willis> ntfs3g driver fir ntfs is very well done these days
[06:59] <solpeth> acidrain: why?
[06:59] <totesmuhgoats> satyanash: a lot of people have reported issues with ntfs in linux to me, i always used to blow them off because i got lucky until i didn't. when I had issues with it one of them was reporting incorrect file sizes
[06:59] <totesmuhgoats> which could be problematic if you want accurate file copies
[06:59]  * satyanash should've started the copying in a screen session.. ugghhh..
[06:59] <acidrain> solpeth: because when i try to install, its not giving me the option of which one of my 5 drives i want to install ubuntu to
[07:00] <solpeth> acidrain: well that's a bit annoying... doesn't the installer let you choose? I don't know, I haven't used ubuntu for years
[07:00] <dr_willis> ive had more issues with ntfs under windows then under linux. :)
[07:01] <chris_0076> so no one knows how to recover deleted files? =(
[07:01] <dr_willis> often its not possible chris_0076
[07:02] <dr_willis> !undelete
[07:02] <chris_0076> I keep seeing this program scalpel but it only seems to have configuration stuff for file types i don't need
[07:02] <chris_0076> I just need plain text
[07:05] <subone> Is it possible to keep a persistent connection of my bluetooth with my phone?
[07:05] <GhostWolf> i have a question about webcams, on this site, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras should i look for webcams that has the version 11.10 of ubuntu?
[07:06] <CFHowlett> GhostWolf   just find one that should work with ubuntu and you'll probably be fine.
[07:07] <GhostWolf> CFHowlett, well not all work with ubuntu i have an older version webcam, i have issues to use the one i have now, hence im looking to see which one i need to look for, and im using 11.10 of ubuntu. and on that site theres webcams that says older version of ubuntu
[07:09] <CFHowlett> GhostWolf  get the best match you can then ...
[07:09] <GhostWolf> CFHowlett, can you be more specific? im asking if i need to find one that shows the ubuntu version im using at this very moment
[07:10] <lolcat^> Could one disk preforming worse than another be caused by one being ext3 and the other being ntfs?
[07:12] <lilVaratep> Do you programmers out there run GVIM or VIM in terminal?
[07:13] <lilVaratep> to clarify, GVIM, or VIM in terminal
[07:15] <lilVaratep> Do you programmers out there use GVIM, or VIM in terminal?
[07:15] <GhostWolf> and CFHowlett i just want to be certain i don't want to spend money on something cause i have to go into a city thats an hour away from where i live to buy decent webcams
[07:16] <CFHowlett> GhostWolf   pretty sure there're no guaranteed webcams.  You will take a risk.  However,   http://www.matthartley.com/logitech-webcam-on-ubuntu/
[07:16] <GhostWolf> CFHowlett, the website i posted is for hardware supported webcams for ubuntu. have you even looked at it?
[07:17] <CFHowlett> GhostWolf   post the url
[07:17] <GhostWolf> CFHowlett, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[07:18] <cancer> bazhang: hi, sorry i left yesterday coz of some reasons.  you were asking about jockey-kde. so what now
[07:18] <CFHowlett> GhostWolf   yep, I've seen the page.  Start there.  Also, I'd strongly suggest you consider maintaining an LTS only ubuntu install - if you're upgrading every 6 months, well ...
[07:19] <GhostWolf> CFHowlett, i just upgraded to 11.10 from the upgrade manager. cause i didn't know if a toolbar for my browser was going to work, it wasn't when 11.10 first came out
[07:20] <CFHowlett> GhostWolf   understood.  As always, educate yourself as best you can, make a choice and evaluate the outcome.
[07:20] <subone> How can I keep a connection open from my ubuntu PC to my Android Phone? I want Tasker to do something when I move out of bluetooth range and it disconnects.
[07:20] <GhostWolf> CFHowlett, i do, thats why i was asking about that site with webcams, so mainly i should find the ones that say 11.10 on the ubuntu version right?
[07:20] <CFHowlett> GhostWolf   sure.
[07:21] <GhostWolf> CFHowlett, ok. i am just wondering, cause im going into the city tomorrow for other things and going to some electronic stores like bestbuy to see what they have
[07:21] <CFHowlett> GhostWolf   good luck.  By the way, have you chosen your webcam software yet?
[07:21] <cancer> i don't have Vga & audio drivers? i only can change vga resolution to 1024x768 and using Nvidia.
[07:22] <GhostWolf> CFHowlett, what you mean software? only webcam software i have is cheese if thats what you mean
[07:22] <CFHowlett> GhostWolf   guvcview
[07:22] <cancer> ne help?
[07:23] <chris_0076> GAH, this would not be so bad if I could remember what the files were
[07:23] <GhostWolf> CFHowlett, i don't. i just know i have issues with my webcam now on sites that you can chat with friends and also use your webcam, and those sites uses the flash program and as i checked lastnight i couldn't do anything with that flash setting
[07:24] <me-1> hi...how can i reduce icon size in launcher
[07:24] <chelz> is there any official way to shorten "ubuntu"? something like "ub"?
[07:25] <me-1> chelz,  shorten what
[07:25] <Fyodorovna> me-1, in the panel on the left of the desktop?
[07:25] <CFHowlett> Chel  buntu
[07:25] <CFHowlett> chelz   unofficially
[07:25] <me-1> Fyodorovna,  yes
[07:25] <chelz> me-1: shorten the name
[07:25] <chelz> CFHowlett: buntu isn't really that much shorter :P
[07:25] <Fyodorovna> me-1, you can shrink the panel in the unity plugin in ccsm.
[07:25] <cancer> i don't have Vga & audio drivers? i only can change vga resolution to 1024x768 and using Nvidia. ANY HELP?
[07:28] <cancer> Help???
[07:28] <chelz> cancer: what is the nature of your technical emergency?
[07:29] <jadoe> I'm trying to compile s2-liplianin drivers on 11.10 with kernel 3.0.0-16, I get this ( http://sprunge.us/MMCG ) error. They build fine one 10.04. This problem is also mentioned here ( http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/S2-liplianin#Kernel_3.0-3.1 ) without fix. This is not a layer 8 problem on my side, I guess? What do I do? Buy a new TV card? Use an old kernel?
[07:31] <cancer> Chelz: i have waited for 4-5 days for drivers issue and spended many hours here, Then finally what i got is to change Kubuntu from ubuntu. Now answering you question.
[07:32] <chelz> cancer: try running    krandrtray
[07:33] <X-droid> hello
[07:34] <X-droid> 这东西怎么用的
[07:37] <cancer> Chelz: krandrtray only brought trayicon. what with it?
[07:38] <Fyodorovna> !cn | X-droid
[07:39] <X-droid> 试下
[07:39] <lilVaratep> Do you programmers out there use GVIM, or VIM in terminal?
[07:39] <cancer> Chelz: ?
[07:39] <tiyowan> lilVaratep: vim
[07:39] <lilVaratep> how do you change the syntax highlighting for vim terminal?
[07:40] <tiyowan> lilVaratep: change or enable?
[07:40] <lilVaratep> i guess enable
[07:40] <lilVaratep> im new to VI/vim
[07:40] <lilVaratep> and *nix
[07:40] <tiyowan> lilVaratep: :syntax on
[07:40] <GhostWolf> meh. this is seriously not doing me any good. whats the best webcam i can use for 11.10? so for only one that i know the brand is a logitech hd webcam.
[07:40] <lilVaratep> :syntax on didn't change any colors
[07:42] <tiyowan> lilVaratep: you've installed the full vim package right?
[07:42] <tiyowan> lilVaratep: the default version on ubuntu is vim-tiny
[07:42] <lilVaratep> tiyowan: from ubuntu software center?
[07:42] <tiyowan> lilVaratep: open up a terminal and do this: sudo apt-get install vim-full
[07:43] <lilVaratep> unable to locate package tiyowan
[07:43] <tiyowan> lilVaratep: try sudo apt-get install vim
[07:43] <lilVaratep> thats how i installed vim originally
[07:44] <lilVaratep> and i also installed gvim from software center
[07:44] <lilVaratep> 'which vim': /usr/local/bin
[07:44] <lilVaratep>  /vim
[07:44] <chelz> cancer: try to change resolution
[07:44] <lilVaratep> tiyowan: do i have to set the syntax coloring somewhere first?
[07:45] <tiyowan> lilVaratep: do dpkg -l *vim
[07:45] <tiyowan> lilVaratep: is ii next to the first line that says vim?
[07:45] <lilVaratep> yes
[07:45] <cancer> How to install Nvidia Drivers. (kubuntu)
[07:45] <lilVaratep> ii  vim            2:7.3.154+hg~7 Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor
[07:45] <tiyowan> lilVaratep: type :help do you see the help files in color?
[07:46] <lilVaratep> tiyowan: its mostly red text, and some blue and stuff
[07:46] <GhostWolf> i need some advice on what webcam i need to buy, i already have one, but i am having trouble getting to work on some websites that i can chat with friends
[07:46] <airtonix> lilVaratep: i prefer to use a normal text editor instead of spending 80% of my time remember what all the arcane and obscure commands are for vi
[07:46] <lilVaratep> tiyowan: some teal in it
[07:46] <Dark|Code> zzz
[07:46] <Canadian1296> airtonix: I prefer vi.
[07:46] <lilVaratep> airtonix: i always hear from people that once you get past learning curve, it's so fast!
[07:47] <tiyowan> lilVaratep: try :syn on, :syntax on, :syntax enable
[07:47] <tiyowan> airtonix: sublime text's pretty cool too
[07:47] <airtonix> lilVaratep: once you get past the learning curve
[07:47] <airtonix> tiyowan: that's what i use.
[07:47] <Canadian1296> airtonix: It only took me like 15 minutes reading man pages and trying stuff to get past the learning curve.
[07:47] <lilVaratep> tiyowan: how do i check if the syntax is on? can i write like public class bla bla?
[07:47] <airtonix> lilVaratep: but i prefer to just start programming rather than spend an entire week learning how to use it
[07:48] <airtonix> Canadian1296: i shouldn't have to even spend an iota of my time in order to work out how to start entering text on the screen.
[07:48] <tiyowan> lilVaratep: try writing a php file - so...go into insert mode and <?php public function test()
[07:49] <cancer> Chelz: only 1024, 800, 600
[07:49] <lilVaratep> The parenthesis was highlighted green when I had the cursor next to it tiyowan
[07:49] <lilVaratep> other than that, it was all red
[07:50] <GhostWolf> CFHowlett, im still having a hard time finding any webcams that says it works with 11.10. only 2 that does ones a logitech and its a hd webcam another brand is called hercules again its a hd webcam
[07:50] <GhostWolf> if i didn't have issues with the one i have now i wouldn't be finding one that will work for websites that allow broadcasting
[07:50] <CFHowlett> GhostWolf   simple plan: install ubuntu to USB or take your laptop with you to the store.  Test the webcam in store.  Find one that works, buy it, spend your change on a round of beer
[07:50] <tiyowan> lilVaratep: do :set filetype=php
[07:51] <GhostWolf> CFHowlett, i don't have a laptop, this is a desktop pc im using
[07:51] <lilVaratep> tiyowan: there it goes
[07:51] <CFHowlett> GhostWolf   no worries.  install ubuntu to usb, boot up a computer in the store, plugin the cam and go a-calling.
[07:51] <GhostWolf> CFHowlett, i don't have a usb thumbdrive either
[07:52] <tiyowan> lilVaratep: do :filetype, is filetype detection on?
[07:52] <GhostWolf> and i don't think the stores i go to allow someone to allow that either
[07:52] <CFHowlett> GhostWolf   take a cdrom, buy a usb, etc...
[07:52] <lilVaratep> tiyowan it is on
[07:52] <lilVaratep> tiyowan plugin off indent off
[07:53] <GhostWolf> CFHowlett, and i live in usa, don't know bout you but i never heard anyone doing that or any store allowing a customer do that to test what webcam works for ubuntu
[07:53] <tiyowan> lilVaratep: you should be good to go, and for reference: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VimHowto
[07:53] <lilVaratep> tiyowan okay thanks
[07:53] <tiyowan> lilVaratep: look into sublime text as well, both of them are really good, use what works for you
[07:54] <CFHowlett> GhostWolf   please.  I live in the usa as well and if the store won't let me test, the store doesn't net a sale.  That said, go to Frye's or PC Fixx or similar.
[07:55] <CFHowlett> GhostWolf   but it you're TRULY worried, order from amazon.  Return policies tend to favor the customer...
[07:55] <GhostWolf> CFHowlett, i am planning on going to frys. but i never heard of someone letting someone bring in any os like ubuntu on disc or anything since i never see any laptops or pc's on for someone to look at. but i am going to go to frys. i guess i can just ask someone there, was also going to bestbuy
[07:55] <bazhang> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras  <--- GhostWolf here's a list
[07:56] <GhostWolf> bazhang, im on that site, that list is not good. only shows 2 webcams 1 from 2 different brands that mentions anything about working with 11.10
[07:56] <CFHowlett> GhostWolf   I admit, last time I booted ubuntu from a USB at Fry's, I kind of - forgot - to ask permission.
[07:57] <GhostWolf> CFHowlett, well im not someone who isn't just going to go in and do it and not ask, i don't want to end up in jail for one thing or anything of that sort cause i was doing something they don't like
[07:57] <bazhang> GhostWolf, this is getting offtopic
[07:57] <CFHowlett> GhostWolf :)
[07:58] <GhostWolf> bazhang, im not the one talking about it, im trying to get advice on how to get a webcam to work from one i already have or find what kind i can buy.
[08:02] <jadoe> If I want to use an older kernel with oneiric, can I use a precompiled one from an older ubuntu? Do I have to compile from source? What problems can I expect?

[08:24] <RadiumCat> hello everyone :) Is there any way i can have mac osx style font anti-aliasing on kde4.7.4? there is a tool for windows called GDI++ that does just that, i was wondering if it was possible under KDE too?
[08:26] <RadiumCat> hello?
[08:28] <dr_willis> hmm
[08:29] <shake> how does this work?
[08:29] <dr_willis> kde and gnome have some font antisliasing settings you can play with.
[08:30] <dr_willis> what work/
[08:30] <RadiumCat> yeh, i just came across it in system settings. should i set the hinting style to 'full'?
[08:31] <dr_willis> try them . see what you like
[08:31] <RadiumCat> okies!
[08:44] <Khaz> Hi, I was wanting to install ubuntu, but once I install it from my USB do I lose my previous OS?
[08:45] <CFHowlett> Khaz   you mean boot the OS or physically wipe it out?
[08:45] <crizzy> Khaz: you can choose to keep windows and dual boot
[08:46] <Khaz> Well from the official ubuntu website, it allows you to make a USB "liveCD" and then once it starts in Ubuntu it offers to install it, will it allow me to dual boot or get rid of windows?
[08:46] <dr_willis> yes
[08:46] <dr_willis> to all
[08:46] <CFHowlett> Khaz   yes it will offer you installation options - including the option to install nothing ...
[08:47] <Khaz> Okay, thank you!
[08:47] <CFHowlett> you can just test-drive ubuntu
[08:48] <Khaz> Well this whole ordeal was because I had a laptop a while back with ubuntu and it was the only thing that allowed me to use my scanner and I was hoping to get that back because there are no up to date drivers for windows.
[08:48] <CFHowlett> khaz sounds like a plan ...
[08:49] <dr_willis> but... everyone says windows has better h.w support..   ;)
[08:49] <tiyowan> dr_willis: ;)
[08:50] <dr_willis> i had to spend an hr finding windows drivers for an old wireless card
[08:50] <dr_willis> last week
[08:50] <pr0ton> how do i install ktorrent4.0 in ubuntu?
[08:51] <dr_willis> !find ktorrent
[08:51] <CFHowlett> pr0ton   ktorrent is in software center
[08:51] <pr0ton> i want 4.0
[08:51] <pr0ton> i cant add the kubuntu ppa
[08:51] <dr_willis> !info ktorrent
[08:51] <pr0ton> i'm on 10.04 iirc
[08:52] <CFHowlett> pr0ton   www.ktorren.org download/compile and install
[08:53] <CFHowlett> http://www.manast.com/2010/05/26/install-ktorrent-4-0-in-ubuntu-kubuntu-lucid/
[08:53] <pr0ton> that link doesnt work
[08:56] <zcat[1]> trying to download using a magnet link, transmission 1.93. I know how to add the link but it just says "Downloading metadata from 0 peers" forever. How do I find peers when I have no peers to find peers from?
[08:57] <dr_willis> sudo apt-get install ktorrent       ;)
[08:57] <bosong> hi i just installed 11.10 on an ibm laptop. it works fine but when i boot i dont see the grub boot menu. it just boots straight into ubuntu. id like to see the grub menu.
[08:57] <CFHowlett> zcat[1]   nothing you can do = peers are volunteers who've chose to provide the material.  Check back at different times/days, maybe it'll come up.
[08:57] <ali_> hi
[08:58] <theadmin> zcat[1]: Add a couple trackers?
[08:58] <guntbert> bosong: press <shift> wile booting
[08:58] <zcat[1]> theadmin:  how?
[08:58] <CFHowlett> bosong you can edit grub settings with this  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[08:58] <bosong> guntbert ok thanks
[08:58] <zcat[1]> It's a amgnet link from the pirate bay. They don't have .torrent links, or trackers
[08:59] <zcat[1]> presumably there's some peer seedlist thing I can do, I don't know..
[08:59] <guntbert> bosong: and for getting it permanently see ^^^
[08:59] <theadmin> zcat[1]: I dunno, depends on your client
[08:59] <zcat[1]> link btw is magnet:?xt=urn:btih:812dfae2b34632cb71bcbb737b63810f6d7d4cdd&dn=Yogscast+Minecraft+adventures+-+Season+1+and+2&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.ccc.de%3A80

[09:01] <zcat[1]> my daughter wants it. it's not warez
[09:01] <Veovis_Muaddib> *As far as I know of course.

[09:01] <monsterripper> mornin'
[09:01] <CFHowlett> monsterripper   greetings
[09:01] <zcat[1]> She's been watching it on youtube but we have restricted internet at home, I want to torrent it on a cheaper connection.
[09:02] <Veovis_Muaddib> theadmin: I think the list was brought up simply to bring up the warez message
[09:02] <theadmin> Veovis_Muaddib: Or we have another italian
[09:02] <theadmin> lol
[09:03] <zcat[1]> I could probably download it from youtube I guess, painfully tedious though
[09:03] <zcat[1]> I wanted help, not a bloody lecture about the sort of material I download
[09:04] <dr_willis> not really a ubuntu issue from what i read.
[09:04] <CFHowlett> dr_willis   I agree
[09:04] <guntbert> dr_willis: he left
[09:04] <ggggottto> anyone has an copy of botnet sourcecode?
[09:04] <dr_willis> guess he dident want help then

[09:06] <ggggottto> Virtualbox, vmware, who installed the ubuntu with a higher performance?
[09:07] <CFHowlett> ggggottto   pretty much the same performance wise unless I'm mistaken
[09:07] <armaan> hi folks
[09:07] <CFHowlett> armaan   greetings
[09:07] <armaan> does anybody know about login details for oneiric-server-cloudimg-amd64
[09:07] <T_H_X> i find vbox better than vmware, audio performs better
[09:07] <ggggottto> do anyone deploy the ubunt honeypot in virtualbox?
[09:09] <fmolinero> identify Calandraca5555
[09:09] <ggggottto> i'm going to update my ubuntu to version 11, miss 10.10
[09:10] <ggggottto> but 11 is too shiny
[09:10] <dr_willis> you have an actual support question?
[09:11] <tsaknorris> what would be good backup/image creator tool (not dd) image what i can install to other hard disk too :)
[09:11] <armaan> hi folks, i was wondering how can i find login details for oneiric-server-cloudimg-amd64 ??
[09:11] <dr_willis> tsaknorris:  mondo/mindi is one

[09:14] <tsaknorris> dr_willis,  thanks, im just reading about it :)
[09:15] <trinity__> hi
[09:16] <lolcat^> Why isn't fglrx included in the iso?
[09:16] <Starn> this is probably a dumb question.. but is it possible to use a real disk partition in a VM??  like say i go to windows and wanna use ubuntu without roobting. haha
[09:16] <dr_willis> legal reasons
[09:16] <lolcat^> Why can't  you warn about it?
[09:17] <dr_willis> Starn:  possible but can damage the data
[09:17] <lolcat^> "Hey,  you can't boot a gui, install fgxlr first"
[09:17] <lolcat^> instead of a black screen saying nothing
[09:17] <dr_willis> the gpl radeon work in most cases or fallback to vesa
[09:17] <guntbert> !bug | lolcat^
[09:18] <lolcat^> guntbert: It  has been found before
[09:18] <Starn> dr_willis: which VM software do you suggest that runs on windows and ubuntu as well (opensource) that would be safest? i'm not concerned about damaging the data..
[09:18] <lolcat^> dr_willis: Screen says no signal, starting x from command line tells me it is trying to use a driver it doesn't have
[09:18] <guntbert> lolcat^: ranting here will help nothing, go help on the bug
[09:18] <dr_willis> Starn:  i only use vbox
[09:18] <Starn> dr_willis: is it fast and stable?
[09:19] <dr_willis> its all i need or use starn
[09:19] <dr_willis> !vbox
[09:19] <guntbert> Starn: virtual box support in #vbox
[09:20] <amit_> hiii.. whenever i open appearance settings, it automatically closes.. cant change wallpaper
[09:22] <spiff_> Hello, is there any way to show pending update change descriptions in a terminal? With apt-get or similar?
[09:26] <ubuntu> Hey everyone I'm sure you get tired of hearing this but I need help installing Ubuntu haha
[09:27] <ubuntu> Ran into some trouble
[09:27] <Taev> will adding an IP address to /etc/hosts.deny stop some one from being able to connect to my webserver?
[09:28] <Taev> Im being slammed by "baidu" and I want to block it, is hosts.deny that most efficient means?
[09:28] <dr_willis> theres other ways to block ips automatically
[09:28] <dr_willis> fail2ban. and others
[09:29] <dr_willis> !info fail2ban
[09:29] <Taev> Will hosts.deny work?
[09:29] <Pideras2> hi
[09:29] <dr_willis> Taev:  not rlsure these days
[09:30] <snow_usa> hi
[09:30] <dr_willis> hosts.deny is old skool. may not work with all services
[09:30] <Pideras2> hello, can someone help me with that problem ? can't fix it for ages. screenshot - http://bitsy.me/img4dy
[09:30] <ubuntu> So I installed Ubuntu and it all went well. I even rebooted the first time and it worked fine. Now when I boot I just get a blank screen. Im running off the disk right now.
[09:30] <snow_usa> I upgrade my ubuntu -- but some how the X is not accessible --- is there any way to see if the upgrade has finished?
[09:30] <_k4> You can add apache directives to limit access.
[09:31] <snow_usa> -- by command-line
[09:31] <Taev> Will it work with Apache?
[09:32] <snow_usa> I upgrade my ubuntu -- but some how the X is not accessible --- is there any way to see if the upgrade has finished? by command line ?
[09:33] <_k4> snow_usa: run apt-get and try to install something.
[09:33] <_k4> It will fail if upgrades are still running.
[09:33] <_k4> Also ps -e | grep dpkg might tell you.
[09:34] <bigeye> Hello. I have a question. I'm using ubuntu 10.04 now, but I can't hear any sound through hdmi cable. It works with the headphone. What should I check first?
[09:34] <snow_usa> dpkg still runs
[09:34] <_k4> snow_usa: So ps -e shows dpkg???
[09:34] <snow_usa> _k4, but it's almost 1.5  hour already
[09:34] <dr_willis> not all hdmi audio is supported by all the video card drivers
[09:35] <_k4> OK
[09:35] <snow_usa> _k4, yes
[09:35] <_k4> ps -ef might tell you what's going on.
[09:35] <_k4> Do you have a second system on your LAN?
[09:36] <bigeye> dr_willis: that's too bad. but my video card is from NVIDIA.
[09:37] <Taev> well that apparently failed
[09:37] <Taev> baidu is still hammering my website looking for non existent pages 10 times every minute
[09:38] <_k4> bigeye: click on your speaker an select sound preferences at the bottom.  Go to hardware and see if there is a device.
[09:38] <_k4> Taev: what failed
[09:38] <spiff_> Taev: Most probably a noob q, but what is baidu?
[09:38] <Taev> i tried listing their IPs in /etc/hosts.deny
[09:38] <Lord_Phoenix> Hello guys, a quick question to get an understanding: Why on my Lenovo T61 with inter gma915 I can play 1080p video in vlc and it's lagging as hell on my media pc with nVidia ION even if I play it locally? :(
[09:38] <Taev> a chinese search engine
[09:38] <djesurun1> hello ubuntu!
[09:39] <spiff_> Taev, ok.
[09:39] <Taev> it failed
[09:39] <_k4> Taev  understandable
[09:39] <Taev> is there a specific ban file for apache2 somewhere?
[09:40] <bigeye> _k4: There is only one device named "Internal Audio". But I think it is not the one which I'm finding.
[09:40] <snow_usa> _k4, now there is no dpkg
[09:40] <snow_usa> but still can not apt-get install
[09:40] <_k4> Taev: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/access.html
[09:40] <dr_willis> hosts.deny is only used i recall by some services. i thibk its an outdated way to block stuff
[09:41] <_k4> bigeye: I'm guessing there is no driver for it.
[09:41] <_k4> snow_usa: what error message?
[09:42] <snow_usa> _k4, some other process is using it
[09:42] <_k4> bigeye: it being your hdmi card.
[09:43] <Taev> so is mod_authz_host a file?
[09:44] <_k4> No mod_authz is an apache module.
[09:45] <Taev> ok how do I make changes to it then?
[09:45] <snow_usa> _k4, the process using it is oneiric
[09:45] <athit> Hi,
[09:45] <snow_usa> ;)
[09:45] <snow_usa> and update-man
[09:46] <bigeye> _k4: I downloaded the nvidia driver in the nvidia homepage and it doesn't work. so I installing the package named 'nvidia-current' and I'will test it now.
[09:46] <_k4> snow_usa: Wierd
[09:47] <Beatbox_Hero> anyone know where I can find some helping getting ubuntu to boot?
[09:47] <dr_willis> been best to test the drivers i  the repos first
[09:47] <dr_willis> Beatbox_Hero:  depends on the issue
[09:48] <Evilkiss> Hi, all!
[09:48] <Evilkiss> Need help
[09:48] <_k4> Taev: first you have to get/build the module.  Then you have to add directives to your apache configuration.  See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/access.html
[09:48] <Beatbox_Hero> I have installed Ubuntu from a liveCD. Everything went great. Even rebooted the first time and everything worked. But now when I boot into Ubuntu
[09:48] <Beatbox_Hero> it just gives me a blank screen
[09:49] <Beatbox_Hero> Tried Boot Repair. Didn't work. tried safe mode. Nothing.
[09:49] <Beatbox_Hero> sound easy to fix? haha
[09:49] <Evilkiss> What driver answer for reading from usb port, if there is connected keypad
[09:50] <Evilkiss> Beatbox_Hero: I thinks it is driver issue
[09:50] <dr_willis> Beatbox_Hero:  yiu mean no grub.. or no x display
[09:50] <Evilkiss> Beatbox_Hero: video driver i mean
[09:51] <_k4> Taev: or you might try adding the "deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" directive into the <Directory /var/www/> section of your apache conf file and restart apache.
[09:51] <Beatbox_Hero> that would make sense. The last thing I did before turning it off is install an Nvidia driver
[09:51] <Beatbox_Hero> Easy fix for that?
[09:51] <Beatbox_Hero> dr_willis: no x display
[09:52] <Beatbox_Hero> I get to grub and select ubuntu. then blank screen of death...
[09:52] <sattu94> Beatbox_Hero: how long did you wait ?
[09:52] <dr_willis> so its a config x  driver issue not a grub issue
[09:52] <Beatbox_Hero> a while. plus im sure that something has gone wrong. my keyboard doesnt respond to things
[09:52] <Beatbox_Hero> correct
[09:53] <Evilkiss> Beatbox_Hero: You need to reboot to non-graphical mode and there uninstall your NVIDIA driver and install default driver
[09:53] <Beatbox_Hero> I used boot repair. So grub should be good
[09:53] <Beatbox_Hero> that sound fun. Should I just google what you said? or is it easy to explain?
[09:53] <_k4> Beatbox_Hero: while in grub, edit the command line and remove the "quiet" from the kernel line.
[09:54] <_k4> You may see errors or at least figure out how far it's getting.
[09:54] <dr_willis> or use the text option to get a console login
[09:54] <Beatbox_Hero> I have an error code that it gets too and then stops
[09:54] <dr_willis> noquiet nosplash text
[09:54] <_k4> From that then you can decide if it's a graphical problem.
[09:54] <_k4> dr_willis: Yes
[09:55] <Beatbox_Hero> I apologize but you guys are way faster then me at this
[09:55] <Beatbox_Hero> in grub how do I get to edit the command line?
[09:55] <dr_willis> c key
[09:56] <dr_willis> or e fir edit
[09:56] <_k4> Beatbox_Hero: I think it's e but the instructions are right there.
[09:56] <Beatbox_Hero> Ha guess i will open my eyes and read it in grub then. Thanks so much guys. cross your fingers for me.
[09:57] <_k4> Beatbox_Hero: http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2007/05/ubuntu-how-to-edit-grub-boot-parameters.html
[09:57] <James_KL> hello , installing Ubuntu , gives that error x86_64 : http://bitsy.me/img4dy - WTF?
[09:57] <Beatbox_Hero> thanks!
[09:57] <_k4> I don't read russian.
[09:58] <_k4> James_KL: Take your ads elsewhere.
[09:59] <James_KL> ads ??
[09:59] <dr_willis> at least summmarize the error
[09:59] <_k4> When I went to that site, I got an obnoxious image in Russian (I think) but nothing else.
[10:02] <nc__> ??
[10:02] <dr_willis> hmm
[10:03] <James_KL> hello , installing Ubuntu , gives that error x86_64 : http://bitsy.me/img4dy - WTF?
[10:03] <_k4> James_KL: That link is garbage.  What is the error?
[10:04] <James_KL> no disk space
[10:04] <dr_willis> you are not installing 64bit os on a 32 machine are yiu
[10:04] <_k4> lol
[10:05] <_k4> I would say maybe you don't have enough disk space.  Did you let it do automatic partitioning?
[10:06] <nc__> 谁有LINUX下的JDK？
[10:06] <dr_willis> !java
[10:07] <James_KL> hello , installing Ubuntu , gives that error x86_64 : http://bitsy.me/img4dy - WTF?
[10:07] <nc__> who have jdk for linux??
[10:07] <Steevca> Can i get the support for ubuntu 8.04 here?
[10:08] <_k4> Is James_KL  a bot?  He doesn't seem to want to answer questions just paste a garbage link.
[10:08] <_k4> Steevca: you'll never know unless you ask a question.  :)
[10:08] <dr_willis> nc__:  read the java info above
[10:09] <James_KL> _k4 omg ??
[10:09] <Evilkiss> Don't answer to James....it's give you a garbage
[10:09] <dr_willis> ponies
[10:09] <_k4> Evilkiss: can you kick him?
[10:09] <Steevca> _k4: I am just asking because i have find out that the drivers for my graphic card are supported with this version of ubuntu.
[10:10] <dr_willis> !8.04
[10:10] <Evilkiss> _k4: I'm not a mod
[10:10] <_k4> Steevca: go ahead and ask the question.  Worst case is no one knows the answer.
[10:10] <nc__> java jdk 1.6
[10:10] <nc__> who have??
[10:10] <Steevca> The question is how good is 8.04 and can i use it without the problems today?
[10:10] <dr_willis> !java | nc__
[10:11] <_k4> Yes, it is still supported until 2013
[10:11] <_k4> Security fixes are still being put into 8.04
[10:11] <liuyun> /
[10:11] <rymate1234> hey
[10:11] <Steevca> _k4: Ok,thanks.
[10:11] <dr_willis> Steevca:  i wouldent. depends on whats its doing and the hardware
[10:11] <JamesK> hello , installing Ubuntu , gives that error x86_64 : http://bitsy.me/img4dy - WTF?
[10:11] <_k4> You might find that some newer hardware might need drivers that aren't there however.
[10:11] <rymate1234> can I have some help with dual booting ubuntu and windows 8?
[10:12] <_k4> Is there someone that can kick this spammer off?
[10:12] <rymate1234> it seems grub does not recognise windows 8
[10:13] <_k4> I would say that's a good thing, rymate1234
[10:13] <nc__> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java     i don't open
[10:13] <rymate1234> _k4: i want to try windows 8 :P
[10:13] <dr_willis> add an entry for it in /etc/grub.d/40_custome  perhaps
[10:14] <rymate1234> how?
[10:14] <rymate1234> :P
[10:14] <dr_willis> !grub
[10:14] <_k4> nc__: It opens for me OK. What error do you get?
[10:14] <Steevca> _k4: The thing is that i am now on linux mint 12,and i have came across this : These cards are supported with the legacy ATI 9-3 Catalyst release, but you MUST use a kernel 2.6.28 (or earlier) and Xserver 1.5 (or earlier).
[10:14] <_k4> Steevca: Ah...
[10:15] <nc__> this is china
[10:15] <Steevca> So 9-3 drivers are supporting my card but i think that mint is useng higher kernel and xserver.
[10:15] <m-ismail> how can i create a free ubuntu account?
[10:15] <_k4> Steevca: Well you can try 8.04.  Yes, Mint 12 is much later.
[10:16] <_k4> nc__: OK I see.
[10:17] <_k4> nc__: Install the openjdk-6-jre package using any installation method.
[10:17] <nc__> no
[10:17] <_k4> e.g apt-get synaptic or aptitude
[10:17] <kishon> how to move the unity launcher (dash) to the bottom of the screen in ubuntu 11.10
[10:18] <_k4> nc__: No as in it doesn't work?
[10:18] <Steevca> _k4: Maybe i can try to install them with some minor problems or reductions? .I am not really familiar with linux yet,just started using them.
[10:18] <tapas> hi, i wonder how to get this nvidia gt220 card to work..
[10:18] <_k4> Steevca: Install what?
[10:18] <nc__> Chromium 无法加载网页，因为 help.ubuntu.com 太长时间没有响应。网站可能已下线，或您的 Internet 连接可能有问题。
[10:18] <Steevca> The 9-3 drivers. :P
[10:19] <_k4> Steevca: probably won't work since you need to downgrade the kernel too.
[10:19] <nc__> K4,OK    thanks
[10:19] <dr_willis> try the latest and see uf the gpl drivers work
[10:19] <Steevca> :S I seriosly need to buy a new pc. >.<
[10:20] <_k4> Steevca: Yes.... might help.
[10:20] <Steevca> But that will happen in about 2 years. xD
[10:20] <_k4> I'm surprised there aren't newer drivers.
[10:21] <Steevca> Ati droped the support for my card in 9-4
[10:21] <dr_willis> newer gpl drivers may work
[10:21] <Steevca> I have tryed with the latest ones but the problem is that when is want to open CCC it reports that no drivers are installed.
[10:21] <ubuntu> bogus
[10:21] <dr_willis> ccc?
[10:22] <Steevca> Catalyst Control Center
[10:22] <_k4> What is Catalyst?
[10:22] <dr_willis> because with the gpl driveres you dont use ccc
[10:22] <crizzy> _k4: ati drivers
[10:22] <_k4> OK
