[16:13] <pauluntu> Reikoku, I fixed it :P it required doing some editing to the java.bin file
[16:15] <pauluntu> last problem on my list :P skype.  The camera works but when skype loads the audio is really staticy anyone know how to fix this bug
[16:18] <Kyle__> How do you get real cdrecord & it's associated tools in 10.04?
[16:21] <dr_willis> !info cdrecord
[16:21] <dr_willis> look for a ppa or use source I am guessing
[16:22] <Baewyn_Celara_> !info kino
[16:22] <Kyle__> dr_willis: I found ppas, but they don't go past hardy.
[16:22] <Kyle__> I've never had anything but dissapointment with wodim & it's tools (especially it's mkisofs!).
[16:22] <dr_willis> i thought cdrecord was a dead project.. ive never had any issues with wodim
[16:23] <Reikoku> pauluntu: Works with 64-bit Oracle java 7 plugin with no messing
[16:24] <Kyle__> dr_willis: No, not at all dead.  What happened was some zealots didn't like schilly's build tools, forked an _old_ cdrecord, called it wodim, and broke several things, before fixing or updating anything.
[16:24] <pauluntu> Reikoku, yeah I got it working :P I'm gonna wait on java 7 till oracle releases it since it is still in development
[16:24] <Kyle__> dr_willis: Mostly it was polittical.
[16:24] <Reikoku> Going to ask another awkward question which seems to have no documentation anywhere: how do I remove indicators from the unity-2d panel? It appears that the whitelist method to remove Skype from the panel only worked in 3d...
[16:24] <AFD> any idea how I can add the novacut ppa? I get command not found when I try sudo add-apt-repository ppa:novacut/stable
[16:24] <Reikoku> pauluntu: Yeah, I'm a bleeding edge kinda guy, using Firefox Aurora channel :P
[16:25] <raven> how to do timelapse webcam like recordings with (c)vlc
[16:25] <Baewyn_Celara_> Hi I need a little help to get a MiniDV Camcorder working with Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty).
[16:26] <Reikoku> pauluntu: I've asked so many questions in this channel and got little help with them :/ ended up solving most of mine myself as well
[16:26] <pauluntu> Reikoku, now i just need to get skype working.  The camera works but when skype starts up the audio is all staticy can't figure that one out
[16:26] <dsfUbu11> hello people
[16:26] <Reikoku> pauluntu: No idea, sorry, my Skype seems fine out of the box except that I can't get rid of that vile green icon on unity-2d
[16:26] <genii-around> AFD: python-software-properties is the package which contains the program add-apt-repository
[16:26] <AFD> pauluntu: if you go to the full sound options from the speaker icon on the dock can you see the mic settings?
[16:27] <AFD> genii-around: thanks - I'll make sure that's installed first
[16:27] <pauluntu> AFD, no
[16:28] <AFD> pauluntu: there's no mic in the settings? is it gnome you're using?
[16:28] <dsfUbu11> i have problems with my session on enter Xorg, anybody can heklp me?
[16:28] <MonkeyDust> !ask| Baewyn_Celara_ dsfUbu11
[16:28] <pauluntu> AFD, I mis understood you earlier yeah in sound I have my input device which is the webcam
[16:28] <AFD> genii-around: I still get command not found after installing python-software-properties
[16:29] <Baewyn_Celara_> !ask
[16:29] <dsfUbu11> The server X11 restart again when i enter on my session
[16:29] <Baewyn_Celara_> !patience
[16:29] <AFD> pauluntu: and it's turned up, unmuted etc? You might have to tick a box in the skype options that is "let skype manage mic"
[16:30] <jelly> IppatsuMan: tell aptitude you Reject removal of ffmpeg, for example.  "r 2"
[16:30] <genii-around> AFD: If you do: sudo ls       does it say same thing? eg: is sudo itself installed?
[16:30] <pauluntu> AFD, the mic isn't my problem its the audio is staticy.  If i make a test call and the operator is talking its all static sounding any sound output from skype is static
[16:30] <jelly> IppatsuMan: then tell it to find a different solution based on your hint: "n"
[16:31] <AFD> pauluntu: what sound driver are you using?
[16:31] <jelly> IppatsuMan: this way you can iteratively tune aptitude's solution finder
[16:31] <AFD> I think pulseaudio is better than ALSA - I can't remmeber
[16:32] <dsfUbu11> where i find information for this problem?
[16:32] <pauluntu> AFD, i have no idea but since i'm hooked up via hdmi on an nvidia card I guess its their driver.  Skype is the only application with audio problems though pandora plays fine
[16:32] <dsfUbu11> i have problems with my session on enter Xorg, anybody can heklp me?
[16:32] <dsfUbu11> where i find information for this problem?
[16:32] <dsfUbu11> where i find information for this problem?
[16:32] <FloodBot1> dsfUbu11: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:33] <AFD> try getting the info for the audio driver and ask one of the gurus here if it's best to use ALSA or pulseaudio over what you have now
[16:33] <dsfUbu11> The server X11 restart again when i enter on my session
[16:33] <Reikoku> dsfUbu11: If my experience here so far is anything to go by, you could be waiting a LOOOONG time ^^
[16:33] <AFD> skype can be picky about drivers I think
[16:33] <dsfUbu11> ok
[16:33] <sipior> dsfUbu11: you'll find that providing more details will improve the likelihood of a repsonse.
[16:34] <jelly> IppatsuMan: can you pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy libavutil-extra-51 libavutil51"
[16:34] <pauluntu> AFD, I know i can't change any audio on skype since its pulseaudio
[16:34] <Baewyn_Celara_> Would asking questions about IEEE 1394 support be more productive on the UbuntuStudio channel even if I'm not using Studio?
[16:34] <AFD> pauluntu: then maybe it's ALSA you want to try
[16:35] <Reikoku> Going to ask another awkward question which seems to have no documentation anywhere: how do I remove indicators from the unity-2d panel? It appears that the whitelist method to remove Skype from the panel only worked in 3d...
[16:35] <IppatsuMan> jelly: http://paste.ubuntu.com/752631/ . The output of aptitude after using "r <id>" is like: "Remove the following packages: 1)   R   audacity 2)       ffmpeg" and stays pretty much similar even if I add al the packages using "r <id>"
[16:36] <rildo_ras> hi people
[16:36] <ThePendulum> I was wondering, is there a way to get a Gnome 2 experience in Ubuntu 11.10? I really dislike the new interface both Gnome 3 and Unity have, and I did try it for a few months. However, I don't like running an outdated OS either.
[16:36] <rildo_ras> what the name of forensic channel ?
[16:36] <jelly> IppatsuMan: yes, that's just the refresh for you to see what you chose.  Next you tell it "n" to try harder
[16:37] <oCean> !alis | rildo_ras
[16:37] <Baewyn_Celara_> Is there a Ubuntu Classic login option on 11.10?
[16:37] <Baewyn_Celara_> That might help ThePendulum.
[16:38] <dr_willis> i tweak  unity to what i like :)
[16:38] <ThePendulum> Baewyn_Celara_: There isn't, the default fallback for 11.10 is just Gnome 3 without '3D'
[16:38] <Baewyn_Celara_> ouch
[16:38] <dr_willis> !nounity
[16:38] <jelly> IppatsuMan: there is also a syntax to tell aptitude to install a package and remove another one in the command line.
[16:38] <ThePendulum> dr_willis: The issue is, I don't like the entire idea behind the new interface both Unity and Gnome 3 have :P
[16:38] <IppatsuMan> jelly: pressing "n" just gives me the same list, with more "R"s
[16:38] <van7hu> !dapper
[16:38] <dr_willis> the fallback mode is sorta like g2
[16:38] <ThePendulum> To me it just looks the same tbh...
[16:38] <jelly> IppatsuMan: can you pastebin that output?
[16:38] <deej1976> ThePendulum: Install xubuntu-desktop
[16:38] <dr_willis> ThePendulum:  lubuntu, or xubuntu
[16:39] <pauluntu> AFD, well weird I installed pavcontroler and static sound is gone once i open pavcontroler and close it.   The static noise comes back though upon reboot unless i open that pulse audio controler at least once
[16:39] <dr_willis> for old skool desktops
[16:39] <IppatsuMan> jelly: http://paste.ubuntu.com/752636/ (just a sample, it does not change much)
[16:40] <dr_willis> i imageine someday someone will make gnome-shell look/act more like the old gnome.. but  no one wants to :) yet.
[16:40] <jelly> IppatsuMan: ah, end of the line: *** No more solutions available ***
[16:40] <ThePendulum> dr_willis: That would be MATE, but that's still quite unstable
[16:41] <dr_willis> ThePendulum:  no.. mate is not the same as what i am talking about.
[16:41] <ThePendulum> dr_willis: I guess you mean no one wants to make one yet? Because I can give you a list of a few hundred names who share my opinion about the new enviroments :P
[16:41] <cityfountain> can somebody help me batch rename file names? i want to change all the 64s to 32s in a folder, and i cant figure out regular expressions
[16:41] <dr_willis> Gnome-shell is very scriptable.. but very new.. so  theres not a lot of work done into it yet.
[16:41] <IppatsuMan> jelly: I don't want to waste your time, I was just curious because I thought aptitude was the smart one. I'll look for a way to tell it to remove a package and substitute with another one
[16:42] <jelly> IppatsuMan: it's smart with well made packages
[16:42] <dr_willis> ThePendulum:  tell them to get scripting in gnome-shell then i guess.
[16:42] <jelly> IppatsuMan: these two... are not well made.
[16:42] <ThePendulum> dr_willis: The thing I really hate is that I can't customize it like I could with Gnome 2. I liked the way I could just drag and drop, and configure things by right-clicking on them, the way it should work
[16:42] <dr_willis> ThePendulum:  i imagine theres peoplke doing it allready. but ive not paid attention to the gnome-shell stuff lately
[16:43] <jelly> IppatsuMan: there is also a syntax to tell aptitude to install a package and remove another one in the command line, what happens with: aptitude install libavutil51 libavutil-extra-51-
[16:43] <ThePendulum> I don't see why you would make things harder
[16:43] <dr_willis> gnome2 was lacking in a lot of ways in teh customizeablity area.. but its dead so not worth harpingon.  :)
[16:43] <jelly> IppatsuMan: note the tailing -
[16:43] <ThePendulum> dr_willis: Did Gnome 3 add more customizeability then? :P
[16:43] <dr_willis> gnome shell and unity are works in progress..  and advanceing with every releae
[16:44] <dr_willis> ThePendulum:  it  is written mainly in javascript.. so yes it has.
[16:44] <dr_willis> it just dosent have nice user-friendly tools yet.
[16:44] <dr_willis> 'yet'
[16:44] <ThePendulum> The fact that the Gnome 3 sidepanel takes up half my screen is frustrating me in the first place
[16:44] <IppatsuMan> jelly: bingo. It works. I have to use "aptitude -s install libavutil51 libavcodec53 libavutil-extra-51- libavcodec-extra-53-" due to extra dependencies, but it works
[16:45] <jelly> IppatsuMan: you may or may not notify the "medibuntu" people their package dependencies need improvement
[16:46] <IppatsuMan> jelly: however, I don't know how I would make it work if dependencies were more complicated than that
[16:46] <Exxon> Gentoo64 are you there
[16:46] <jelly> IppatsuMan: a dirtier workaround is to first dpkg --remove --force-depends the current package, and then let "apt-get -f install" or "aptitude -f install" autofix the dependencies
[16:47] <jelly> this would need to be done carefully
[16:47] <IppatsuMan> jelly: however, is not a problem of medibuntu packages. It is broken with ubuntu official repositories too
[16:47] <Exxon> hi, too you all :))
[16:48] <IppatsuMan> (I knew about dpkg, but I didn't want to mess up my system)
[16:48] <jelly> IppatsuMan: it's not, because libavutil-extra-51 doesn't seem to exist in oneiric AT ALL
[16:48] <jelly> based on your policy paste
[16:48] <jelly> I didn't check the actual repos
[16:48] <Kenjiro> good afternoon
[16:48] <llutz> !info libavutil-extra-51
[16:49] <Exxon> Kenjiro, night in other places..welcome

[16:50] <gulzar> how to make gtk apps like vlc,systemmonitor, tansmission look GOOD in openbox? The apps look like win98
[16:50] <mufaza> i cant get it to work. do I need to add a route?
[16:51] <jelly> IppatsuMan: arlight then, I'll take your work for it being broken in ubuntu as well. :-)
[16:51] <mufaza> FloodBot1 sorry about thatm it looked much smaller in my notepad :)
[16:51] <PwrSurge> hello
[16:51] <jrib>  gulzar try running gnome-settings-daemon
[16:51]  * mufaza is talking to a bot again
[16:51] <jaequery> hey guys, anyone know of a tutorial to install ssl to apache with ubuntu 10.04+ ?
[16:51] <auronandace> gulzar: vlc uses qt not gtk
[16:51] <jelly> ubottu: what are you
[16:51] <Exxon> mufaza, please don't do that again we can read someone familiar with your question will answer
[16:52] <jelly> ubottu: who owns you
[16:52] <PwrSurge> I just upgraded to 11.10 but I don't get any video now with my ATI graphics card
[16:52] <gulzar> auronandace: ya but there are others also
[16:52] <PwrSurge> X does not fully load
[16:52] <gulzar> auronandace: how to make them look good
[16:52] <CadetX> does anyone know what 0xFF and 0x00 represent?
[16:52] <phunyguy_work> !botabuse | jelly
[16:52] <jrib> gulzar: did you try what I said?
[16:52] <PwrSurge> any ideas on what to try?
[16:52] <PwrSurge> I even tried the latest ati driver from the amd site
[16:52] <gulzar> jrib: I was going to ask that.. what to do with settings daemon?
[16:52] <jrib> gulzar: run it
[16:52] <PwrSurge> still does not work
[16:53] <llutz> CadetX: in what context?
[16:53] <jelly> phunyguy_work: thanks
[16:53] <CadetX> numbers
[16:53] <nicofs> Hello! I have issues with my network connection, can someone help? It is somewhat unstable and according to ping i have about 10% packet loss. My phone and my other PCs don't have that issue but use the same network... any ideas where to start?
[16:53] <PwrSurge> Starting LightDM Display Manager [fail]
[16:53] <llutz> CadetX: hexadecimal ff=256, 00=0
[16:53] <mufaza> jaequery    http://pastebin.com/mY54qskT
[16:53] <PwrSurge> it stops here
[16:53] <Exxon> PwrSurge, i would suggest with default vesa drivers as ati don't support any more
[16:53] <gulzar> jrib: but I am on openbox . No gnome here
[16:53] <PwrSurge> what is LightDM?
[16:54] <llutz> CadetX: err, ff=255
[16:54] <jrib> gulzar: yes, so?
[16:54] <auronandace> PwrSurge: login manager
[16:54] <CadetX> llutz, its supposed to be 0xFF = 1
[16:54] <CadetX> its supposed to write all 1 on the drive
[16:54] <Reikoku> Are there no unity-2d developers in here? I'm really surprised that nobody can tell me how to remove an indicator from the panel...
[16:54] <CadetX> using my wipe utility
[16:55] <gulzar> jrib: so I have only things ralated with openbox not with gnome.. I will install it and try
[16:55] <llutz> CadetX: so its not numbers, hence i asked. no idea what your utility is/does
[16:55] <jrib> gulzar: there may be a better way, but I don't know it
[16:56] <llutz> CadetX: 0xff 0 binary "1111 1111"  maybe thats meant with ff=1
[16:56] <CadetX> ooh
[16:56] <CadetX> yes it said to fill the disk with 11111
[16:57] <CadetX> and 0x00 with 00000
[16:57] <javier__> hi
[16:57] <llutz> CadetX: since 0x00 = 0000 0000
[16:57] <akaluptos> hi
[16:57] <CadetX> smart then
[16:57] <pconwell> how can I disable eth1 persistantly? I know I can do ifdown eth1, but that doesn't persist across reboots.
[16:57] <akaluptos> kamia ellinida?
[16:57] <Reikoku> Are there no unity-2d developers in here? I'm really surprised that nobody can tell me how to remove an indicator from the panel... that Skype icon looks horrible. Also, how to maximise the dash by default in 11.10... (counting on you, #ubuntu)
[16:58] <oCean> !gr | akaluptos
[16:58] <javier__> i want to know which program uses canonical to make the "Take a tour" in the web
[16:58] <javier__> anyone knows?
[16:59] <javier__> hi?
[16:59] <Exxon> pconwell, if you have external usb simplliy make it up ignore eth1 then
[17:00] <pconwell> Exxon: I don't understand
[17:00] <javier__> anybody knows which program uses canonical to make the "Take a tour" in the web? It's open source?
[17:01] <oCean> javier__: Not sure, but I expect it to be custom made
[17:01] <Exxon> pconwell, why you are trying to do so
[17:01] <riffautae> patience | javier__
[17:01] <ChesterX> good evening, can i use gparted to resize (make it smaller) my active ubuntu partition? (I don't have any other os installed for the moment)
[17:01] <riffautae> !patience | javier__
[17:01] <ThinkT510> ChesterX: you'll need to do that from a livecd
[17:01] <pconwell> exxon, I have eth0 and eht1. At one point, I enabled eth1, but now I don't need it and services keep running on eth1
[17:02] <pconwell> Exxon: so I want to disable it so everything will run on eth0
[17:02] <jrib> gulzar: ok, I have another way for you... you can put settings in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini .  For example, use this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/752664/ and make sure you have gnome-themes-standard installed
[17:02] <ChesterX> ThinkT510, why do I need to do it from a livecd?
[17:02] <jrib> but he left of course...
[17:02] <ThinkT510> ChesterX: you can't resize a partition that is already mounted
[17:03] <Exxon> pconwell, if you are wired with eth0 then there no need for eth1 by the command you give is totally down..let the light blink ..
[17:03] <Marine1> 5.1 working in all desktop apps but in open browser only 2 front and rear working need help solving this puzzle
[17:03] <pconwell> Exxon: I found what I needed /etc/network/interfaces
[17:03] <pconwell> I just commented out the eth1 lines
[17:03] <ChesterX> ThinkT510, ok. Will I need to restore the bootloader or fix the ubuntu partition?
[17:04] <ThinkT510> ChesterX: no
[17:04] <pconwell> Exxon: I don't think you unerstand what I am saying
[17:04] <ThinkT510> ChesterX: i've never had to
[17:04] <pconwell> Exxon: but I got it fixed, so everything is fine
[17:04] <Exxon> pconwell, well be it that way..sry
[17:04] <ChesterX> ThinkT510, thank you. Last question: Any suggestion regarding which livecd I should use?
[17:05] <ThinkT510> ChesterX: i like partedmagic
[17:05] <MonkeyDust> ChesterX  any live cd you are familiar with
[17:06] <Marine1> 5.1 working in all desktop apps but in open browser only 2 front and rear working need help solving this puzzle
[17:06] <jaequery> mufaza: thx
[17:06] <MonkeyDust> Marine1  what's 5.1 ?
[17:06] <dr_willis> Marine1:  and how are you testing that in the browser?
[17:06] <Exxon> pconwell, well how do you do it ..can you share it with us
[17:06] <ChesterX> MonkeyDust, the only live cd I used until now were Ubuntu and BT. Am I able to use the Ubuntu one to do this?
[17:07] <riffautae> Marine1: what particular web sites are you testing this with?
[17:07] <MonkeyDust> ChesterX  ubuntu has gparted, so yes
[17:07] <ThinkT510> ChesterX: if it has gparted then yes
[17:07] <Marine1> basicxally youtube and ohter channels
[17:07] <milen8204> Hello guys, I have a little problem, I cant move my windows whit the mouse, what should  I do?
[17:07] <ChesterX> I am using the basic ubuntu 11.04 edition (liveusb)
[17:08] <Marine1> riffautae: should i make pulseaudio default
[17:08] <milen8204> I am sind Ubuntu 11.10 whit gnome-shell 3
[17:08] <milen8204> using*
[17:08] <Exxon> milen8204, restart windows
[17:08] <riffautae> Marine1: so adobe flash content? right click a flash app and go properties to see if there is a setting in there that is relevent
[17:08] <milen8204> Exxon, what do you mean ?
[17:09] <Marine1> dr_willis: noyt testing browser just going to different sites and playing videos
[17:09] <riffautae> milen8204: your window manager crashed or something like virtual box is stealing focus, restart teh system or xorg
[17:10] <dr_willis> Marine1:  so.. you are playing flash videos?
[17:10] <milen8204> riffautae, can you tell me how to do that ?
[17:10] <jaequery> mufaza, but what is the purpose of installing libapache2-mod-auth-mysql ?
[17:10] <MonkeyDust> milen8204  if you're using vbox, press right ctrl
[17:11] <milen8204> MonkeyDust, no I do not use V-box
[17:11] <Blazento> hi i'm having trouble downloading with apt-get on my server... i tried apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev and now im getting a string of messages such as Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main libgssrpc4 amd64 1.8.3+dfsg-5ubuntu2.1
[17:11] <Blazento>   404  Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[17:11] <Marine1> dr_willis: yes but can't hear all 6 speakers basically but in all other apps like vlc, movie player all work just fine
[17:12] <milen8204> I can`t move the app`s windows like this one , I can just maximize, minimize, and close them
[17:12] <ThinkT510> Blazento: have you done sudo apt-get update first?
[17:12] <riffautae> Blazento: do other websites work? eg can you ping google.com
[17:12] <dr_willis> Marine1:  if the site is only supplying 2.1 or 3.1 sound.. you are expecting  your system to just clone the output to the rear?
[17:12] <Blazento> ahh sudo apt-get update did the trick thanks!
[17:13] <ThinkT510> Blazento: no worries :)
[17:13] <Marine1> dr_willis: good point but I had pulse audio as my default sound device before and I didn't have this problem
[17:14] <dr_willis> check the pavcontrol settings and tools i guess Marine1
[17:14] <lcb> hi. looks like " linux-backports-modules-alsa*" doesn't exist anymore on Oneiric...  From where could I install it, since i need some drivers for alsa (audio device not detected -> Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02))
[17:14] <Marine1> dr_willis: now my default card is hda nvidia
[17:14] <jaequery> what is the cheapest SSL you can buy these days?
[17:15] <dr_willis> Marine1:  you using the hdmi cable to a monitor? it may be defaulting to that.
[17:15] <oCean> jaequery: ?
[17:15] <jaequery> a ca root certificate
[17:15] <sheepherd> so ive seen a video on youtube but it has been deleted. didnt quit firefox yet, so is it possible to get is back outta the cache? right now im manually searching for it in ~/.mozilla/firefox/x.default/Cache/.F
[17:15] <oCean> jaequery: how is that an #ubuntu issue?
[17:15] <jaequery> because im installing SSL on ubuntu
[17:16] <ergj-> im having problems setting up a linksys 2500 usb wireless using wpa-personal using ubuntu
[17:17] <ergj-> im also using ndiswrapper
[17:17] <oCean> jaequery: that still does not make your current question an #ubuntu issue. There is #cacert channel, or maybe other more appropriate channels
[17:17] <Marine1> dr_willis: yes but like I said the desktop apps work fine not the open browser videos
[17:17] <Exxon> jaequery, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSSL

[17:19] <ThePendulum> So I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10. Where can I edit some JavaScript? :p
[17:19] <milen8204> Is there any compiz settings for windows?
[17:19] <ThinkT510> ThePendulum: on the internet... have fun
[17:19] <ThePendulum> ThinkT510: I mean for Gnome 3, of course
[17:19] <ThePendulum> Btw, is there a way to move items within the launcher?
[17:20] <phrosty> WHat is the name of the application to put an iso on a flash drive to be able to boot into it to install

[17:21] <sereal> Hi, i'm having some problems with the mouse in gnome windows. Basically in unity or what ever the default is now, I can't left click on certain things. (i had to power cycle to log out :/ ) Openbox works, so this is clearly not a issue with my mouse, but gnome windows, like the gnome control panel left click doesn't work. Is there a solution to this or should I just stop using ubuntu now?
[17:22] <Marine1> dr_willis: all is fine there
[17:22] <sereal> (i'm running ubuntu 11.10, just did a dist upgrade from 11.04 and I hadn't noticed this was the problem, but I had not used that system much
[17:23] <Marine1> dr_willis: do you have any suggestions in how i can get all 6 speakers working in open browser
[17:23] <luca_bi> Dear friends, mysql folder is in var/lib/mysql but I cannot open it how can i opne it?? I see an x on the folder

[17:23] <awozniak> sudo apt-get --reinstall install libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 fails with an error: E: Internal Error, No file name for libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0   Got any clues for me?
[17:23] <ThinkT510> Marine1: it sounds more like a flash issue rather than a browser issue
[17:24] <MonkeyDust> awozniak  first type apt-cache search libgkd|less to look for the exact name
[17:24] <Baccari> luca_bi, check access control flags from within a terminal
[17:24] <shaneo_> hi guys what are the resolution requirements for ubuntu server the only reason i ask is because im trying to run it on am older pc and it all installs fine and everything but wont show the terminal are there any settings i can change in the install to fix this
[17:24] <franksouza1831> hello
[17:25] <awozniak> MonkeyDust: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 - GDK Pixbuf library

[17:25] <sereal> Hi, i'm having some problems with the mouse in gnome windows. Basically in unity or what ever the default is now, I can't left click on certain things. (i had to power cycle to log out :/ ) Openbox works, so this is clearly not a issue with my mouse, but gnome windows, like the gnome control panel left click doesn't work. Is there a solution to this?
[17:25] <ssta> shaneo_: there aren't any for server...
[17:25] <delinquentme> logging in via console ... as another user
[17:25] <delinquentme> anyone?
[17:25] <dr_willis> sereal:  clean install? Upgrade? Tried making a new user?
[17:25] <shaneo_> ssta so are there any settings i can change
[17:25] <Baccari> luca_bi, open a terminal, go the the parent folder, then "ls -l"
[17:25] <shaneo_> during install
[17:26] <shaneo_> the change reoslution maybe
[17:26] <sereal> Making a new user isn't going to help. That seems like a silly solution to me.
[17:26] <dspstv> how, here can i see the table of IP leases when i share my wired connection?
[17:26] <dr_willis> !nomodeset | shaneo_
[17:26] <sereal> I just did a dist upgrade
[17:26] <ssta> shaneo_: not that I know of.  There's probably a way to turn off the vga console
[17:26] <conntrack> pelvic thrust failed?
[17:26] <dr_willis> sereal:  try making a new user. see if they have the same issue.. if they DONT have a problem. that would point to a user setting conflict
[17:26] <shaneo_> thanks ubottu and ssta
[17:26] <luca_bi> Baccari drwx------  6 mysql         mysql          4096 2011-11-28 16:30 mysql
[17:26] <Exxon> !xorg | shaneo_
[17:27] <dspstv> excuse, where can i see the table of IP leases when i share my wired connection?
[17:27] <Baccari> luca_bi, the owner of this folder is the user "mysql"
[17:27] <ssta> shaneo_: you have server, so xorg isn't relevant
[17:28] <Baccari> luca_bi, you can change it by :"sudo chown $USER"
[17:29] <llutz> Baccari: luca_bi STOP
[17:29] <llutz> luca_bi: don't chown mysql-dir, it'll break mysql
[17:29] <lcb> I appreciate any help on this, since my system is not detecting the audio device. - pastebin -> http://pastebin.com/nmX8UxGV
[17:29] <phrosty> How do you format a flash drive on ubuntu?
[17:30] <lcb> phrosty: any partition utility
[17:31] <ThinkT510> phrosty: gparted to the rescue!
[17:31] <phrosty> Ok I just saw that via a google search :)
[17:32] <lcb> phrosty: be careful not partitioning drive: google
[17:32] <MonkeyDust> lcb  in Terminal, use mkfs
[17:32] <llutz> luca_bi: if you really need to list contents of that dir, use "sudo ls -l /var/lib/mysql"
[17:32] <MonkeyDust> phrosty   in Terminal, use mkfs
[17:32] <ssta> phrosty: disk manager (in 10.10 and 11.04 anyway, not sure in 11.10)

[17:34] <lcb> Exxon: :) thanks
[17:34] <sereal> dr_willis, yeah this is a problem with ubuntu being broken. I guess i'm done with ubuntu.  It seems like ubuntu has gotten more and more broken with each new release and it's sad because it was really nice till 11 came along
[17:34] <lcb> Exxon: didn't find that one, before
[17:35] <MonkeyDust> sereal  others do like the change
[17:35] <Exxon> lcb, no need to mention try it ..
[17:35] <PwrSurge> for some reason my display switches in and out of graphics mode when starting X
[17:35] <ThePendulum> Is there a way to prevent that launcher panel from hiding automatically in Ubuntu 11.10?
[17:35] <lcb> Exxon: tks a lot
[17:35] <benbloom> is there any reason not to install 64b ubuntu on a 64b machine?
[17:35] <askhader> benbloom: Not anymore.
[17:36] <sereal> MonkeyDust, I have no problem with unity, or the defaults. I typically just install openbox or fluxbox and never touch gnome other than gnome applications, but this is the last straw for me. Things are seriously broken when my mouse doesn't even work in gnome windows.
[17:36] <PwrSurge> I see 720x400 and 1920x1080 flashing back and forth
[17:36] <ssta> benbloom: not often...unless you need some ISV apps that are 32bit only
[17:36] <bodymain> lol
[17:36] <doctorme> #iodoom3
[17:37] <isoman2kx> does ubuntu have a software that lets you listen to radio stations & podcasts... as well as download them?
[17:37] <MonkeyDust> isoman2kx  rhythmbox (with plugins)
[17:37] <sereal> More and more things have broke for me since 11 and I have heard numerous complaints about the gui installer freezing (never happened on me) but I mean these are things that used to work and no don't. Come on, ubuntu is suppost to be geared towards new users, and a some what experienced user can't make it work?
[17:38] <ssta> sereal: not that I mind, but this sort of rant belongs on #ubuntu-offtopic (where I will happily agree with you)
[17:38] <benbloom> I do occasionally use ISV apps ssta. are the advantages of 64b architecture that noticable?
[17:38] <sereal> ssta, sorry you are correct.
[17:38] <MonkeyDust> always a gentleman
[17:39] <ThinkT510> benbloom: more ram baby yeah!
[17:39] <Exxon> benbloom, it depends.
[17:39] <PineappleClock> I'm trying to create a public share space for everyone in my network on a Ubuntu server- How do I make a folder where everyone that has access to it always creates files and folders with 0777 permissions?
[17:39] <ssta> benbloom: depends on whose benchmarks you read.  Most of them these days are better on 64bit.  As long as your ISV supports 64bit then it's fine
[17:40] <ThinkT510> PineappleClock: that will attract spam
[17:40] <PineappleClock> ok but how to do it?
[17:41] <Exxon> PineappleClock, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions
[17:42] <llutz> PineappleClock: setup your directory and create an POSIX acl (man setfacl, getfacl) for it
[17:42] <jana46> is this an English spoken chat?
[17:42] <PineappleClock> my Samba share is set to create mask = 0777 and directory mask = 0777 but for some reason some mac clients are writing files that aren't
[17:42] <Myrtti> jana46: yes
[17:42] <ThinkT510> jana46: indeed it is
[17:43] <franksouza1831> hello
[17:43] <jana46> is this although about Xubuntu?
[17:43] <Myrtti> !xubuntu | jana46
[17:43] <Arpad2> sziasztok
[17:43] <ThinkT510> jana46: you can ask here or at #xubuntu

[17:51] <sskalnik> Anyone knowledgeable about splitting source packages into multiple binary packages?
[17:52] <sskalnik> I've gone through the Packaging Guide to the letter, but am getting this error:
[17:52] <sskalnik> dh_install: foo-package-2 missing files (/lib/*), aborting
[17:53] <sskalnik> In the foo-package-2.install file, I have patterns like "/lib/*" so that everything installed in that directory by the source would end up in that deb
[17:53] <sskalnik> This is what the official guide said to do
[17:53] <sskalnik> Obviously not working though.
[17:53] <sskalnik> Any ideas?
[17:54] <jrib> sskalnik: #ubuntu-packaging
[17:54] <alienmindtrick> How do I find out which updates were done to my machine, this morning? I manually authorized them, but don't recall what they were.
[17:55] <sskalnik> jrib, currently chilling in there, but no response; figured I would ask in here. Is this an improper venue?
[17:55] <raven> how to get date to produce the actual time? its only writing files to the first time it was opened fswebcam -d /dev/video0 -l 2 video0--`date +%F--%H.%M.%S`.jpg
[17:55] <jrib> sskalnik: it's ok to ask here
[17:55] <sskalnik> jrib: Cool, thanks
[17:56] <Exxon> alienmindtrick, apt-cache policy [package-name]
[17:57] <alienmindtrick> @Exxon: how will i know the package name?
[17:57] <EuroNerd> I've got a problem:  I've uninstalled Gwibber, and yet Gwibber updates keep popping up in the Update Manager.
[17:58] <grendal-prime> soooo is there anyway to get the little icons back in gnome 3?  like the ones next to aplications and places?
[17:58] <raven> how to get date to produce the actual time? its only writing files to the first time it was opened fswebcam -d /dev/video0 -l 2 video0--`date +%F--%H.%M.%S`.jpg
[17:58] <PwrSurge> anyone here have an ATI graphics card running on 11.10?
[17:59] <grendal-prime> PwrSurge, sure dont
[17:59] <Exxon> /var/log/apt contains a history of package installations
[18:00] <PwrSurge> with fglrx
[18:00] <PwrSurge> just get a black screen
[18:00] <alienmindtrick> Exxon: i run that from a terminal window, or is it in the file system?
[18:00] <PwrSurge> was working fine before I upgradd
[18:00] <jazzanova> hi
[18:00] <sskalnik> EuroNerd, can you do dpkg --get-selections and confirm that Gwibber is uninstalled?
[18:00] <jazzanova> did karmic apt.sources list change recently ? I can't update
[18:01] <Exxon> alienmindtrick, gksudo natilus
[18:01] <ThinkT510> jazzanova: karmic is no longer supported
[18:01] <jazzanova> isn't there an archive deb ?
[18:02] <ThinkT510> why do people insist on using old versions?
[18:02] <ssta> because they're not broke?
[18:02] <jazzanova> i tried upgrading once, it didn't work on my laptop
[18:02] <jazzanova> i had to revert
[18:02] <sskalnik> ThinkT510, wasn't that "old version" very stable and proven?
[18:02] <sskalnik> I used it for a long while
[18:02] <grendal-prime> ssta, thanks..i was trying to think of something to anser that with but was experiencing anger gridlock
[18:03] <jazzanova> i get misses for karmic_updates
[18:03] <Exxon> PwrSurge, check the vedor do they have ati drivers
[18:03] <EuroNerd> sskalnik, is there a way to page this list?  cuz it's so long, it fitted only from m to z in the terminal ;)
[18:03] <ThinkT510> sskalnik: thats what lts versions are for
[18:03] <sskalnik> ThinkT510, indeed
[18:03] <ThinkT510> jazzanova: i always fresh install, never trusted the upgrade process
[18:04] <grendal-prime> ?
[18:04] <grendal-prime> do that when you have 70 servers
[18:04] <sskalnik> EuroNerd, no idea on the paging. I am lazy and use Xchat
[18:04] <grendal-prime> you can start over again in 3 years..
[18:04] <sskalnik> grendal-prime, I know that feel
[18:04] <ssta> that's pretty much what I do
[18:04] <EuroNerd> sskalnik, nevermind, just adding g* at the end of your command did the job ;)
[18:04] <jazzanova> found it, it moved to old-releases
[18:05] <sskalnik> EuroNerd, you could pipe it to less
[18:05] <grendal-prime> ive had one dist-upgrade go bad. it was using debian proper and it was 7 years ago.
[18:05] <alienmindtrick> Exxon: i ran that in a terminal (gksudo natilus), got a dialog to authorize it, nothing else happened
[18:05] <DeeP> hai
[18:05] <PwrSurge> tried that, appears the latest version is causing issues
[18:05] <sskalnik> dpkg --get-selections | less
[18:06] <DeeP> best video editor for ubuntu
[18:06] <EuroNerd> sskalnik, and now I can tell you that dpkg shows "install" next to the four gwibber-service variants, so I assume it's not installed.
[18:06] <Yanch0> guys can anyone please help me fix a problem with the gpu? http://pastebin.com/3XQ1HQur - after first boot i never managed to get the login screen, get some garbled lines, then screen goes off
[18:06] <sskalnik> EuroNerd, "install" means it's installed
[18:06] <PwrSurge> *sigh*
[18:06] <sskalnik> EuroNerd, weird, I know
[18:06] <Exxon> sorry i don't do spoon feeding
[18:06] <EuroNerd> ahh...
[18:07] <PwrSurge> screen keeps switching from 720x400 to 1920x1080
[18:07] <PwrSurge> back and forth
[18:07] <EuroNerd> sskalnik, ok, so how do I get rid of this thing?  I'm pretty sure I even did a "purge" version of uninstall
[18:07] <storrgie> I'm installing ubuntu server 11.10 here, I have / on a md volume. When I get to the grub portion of the install I see 'executing grub-install /dev/sda failed this is a fatal error' and I really cant work beyond this
[18:07] <Yanch0> http://pastebin.com/pbtHijVK all the debugging i could think of
[18:07] <sskalnik> EuroNerd, weird, purge should nuke it all from orbit
[18:07] <EuroNerd> sskalnik, oh wait, maybe I removed the app, but not the services (daemons or sth) ?
[18:08] <PwrSurge> (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory
[18:08] <sskalnik> EuroNerd, try "apt-get uninstall" + paste those gwibber packages
[18:08] <EuroNerd> roger that
[18:08] <sskalnik> EuroNerd, you can select each one and middle-click to paste them quickly.\
[18:08] <sskalnik> EuroNerd, you probably already know that though.
[18:09] <alienmindtrick> My machine keeps crashing since this morning's update. How can I find which updates were done, in what package, etc? Realize, please, that I am a relative novice, but have exercised due diligence in trying to find the answer before coming here.
[18:10] <Sidewinder1> alienmindtrick, Did you reboot?
[18:10] <EuroNerd> sskalnik, r u sure that's the right syntax?  he tells me "invalid operation uninstall".
[18:10] <hwilde> sskalnik, EuroNerd,  google "true x-mouse gizmo"  if you want middle mouse paste in windoz
[18:10] <alienmindtrick> Sidewinder: yes, more than once.
[18:11] <sskalnik> EuroNerd, my bad, "apt-get remove" or "apt-get purge"
[18:11] <EuroNerd> ok ;)
[18:11] <sskalnik> hwilde, Thanks!
[18:11] <Sidewinder1> alienmindtrick, When you say "crashing", what exactly happens? Any error messages?
[18:12] <ranamalo> anyone know how to get the start sequence of an init script?
[18:12] <Sidewinder1> Oh, my goodness, the floodbots are acting up, again.. :-(
[18:12] <Exxon> Yanch0, i am not familiar with myth tv ask if some one is using it..
[18:12] <alienmindtrick> Sidewinder1: perhaps 'locks up' would be more accurate. the cursor freezes and i can't get it to respond.
[18:12] <hwilde> ranamalo, it's just a text file
[18:12] <Sidewinder1> alienmindtrick, Your ubuntu version?
[18:12] <Yanch0> Exxon, mythtv shouldnt be a problem here ... seems to be an x problem i guess
[18:13] <alienmindtrick> Sidewinder1: 11.10, updated daily
[18:13] <ranamalo> hwilde: i know they are just bash scripts, but I'm looking for a way to get the start sequence number you set with update-rc.d
[18:14] <EuroNerd> sskalnik, I did apt-get remove gwibber-service*  and it killed this sucker! :)  Thanks a lot for your help.
[18:14] <sskalnik> EuroNerd, glad to hear it worked!
[18:14] <storrgie> with 11.10 server can you install to a software raid1?
[18:14] <Sidewinder1> alienmindtrick, Dag-nab-it, I'm on 10.04, so I can't really diagnose, sorry.. Perhaps someone else can... But I hope you're not pressin' the power button; better the REISUB, method..
[18:14] <sskalnik> storrgie, Yes
[18:15] <sskalnik> storrgie, Just did that a few times last week in fact
[18:15] <PwrSurge> was ATI even tested before releasing 11.10?
[18:15] <PwrSurge> geez
[18:15] <rbb2> hi
[18:15] <hwilde> ranamalo, do u mean the runlevel ?
[18:15] <Sidewinder1> !REISUB | alienmindtrick
[18:15] <sskalnik> storrgie, You should be able to make a softraid or lvm during install.
[18:16] <sskalnik> PwrSurge, ATi just doesn't play as well with Linux as nVidia. :C
[18:16] <rbb2> can anyone tell me how to make chromium icon appear in docky and panel
[18:16] <Exxon> Yanch0, mythtv is live cd/dvd please let me know
[18:17] <storrgie> sskalnik, im in 11.10 and grub fails when i try my install
[18:17] <Yanch0> Exxon, yes comes as stripped down ubuntu
[18:17] <storrgie> sskalnik, would you mind being patient and helping me through this?
[18:17] <sskalnik> storrgie, Certainly; hope I can help
[18:18] <sskalnik> storrgie, did you set up the RAID during the install?
[18:18] <storrgie> sskalnik, I have two 256G SSD that I want to install to, I want a 12G swap on each and the rest to be a mdadm RAID1 where I mount /
[18:18] <storrgie> sskalnik, yes I did
[18:18] <Sidewinder1> alienmindtrick, You may wish to restate your question/problem, stating as much info., as you can.. Perhaps someone else will pick up the ball, so to speak..
[18:18] <Exxon> Yanch0, yes it can be included from ubuntu itself..but if that is you should not have a problem with the xorg
[18:18] <storrgie> sskalnik, however, when I get to the stage of the installer where grub is installed it fails
[18:18] <pauluntu> question guys nautilus doesn't have any icons anymore when file browsing i have no idea why they disappeared anyone have a clue how to fix it, restarting didn't work
[18:18] <Yanch0> Exxon, i installed mytubuntu - prepackaged ubuntu with mytv
[18:19] <storrgie> sskalnik, did you put your boot on a seperate partition?
[18:19] <sskalnik> storrgie, Nope
[18:19] <storrgie> sskalnik, you're sure you did 11.10 server?
[18:19] <rbb2> i nstalled nvidia xorg 96 grapics driver buteverytime i open up the  nvidia x server seetings  i got a prompt saying ive to  edit x config file as root ,can anyone here tell me how to do it please
[18:19] <storrgie> sskalnik, I'm at the partitioning menu right now
[18:19] <sskalnik> storrgie, Let me look at my config. I did it manually at first, then switched to using a preseed
[18:20] <Exxon> Yanch0, i am checking the package if ubuntu repos..have such package
[18:20] <sskalnik> storrgie, Yeah, 11.10, got one of these servers right here.
[18:20] <storrgie> sskalnik, sure, im very interested in how you got this working
[18:20] <sskalnik> storrgie, Ooooone moment
[18:20] <lord-ivan_>   hi
[18:20] <Exxon> Yanch0, none
[18:21] <lord-ivan_> any c programmers in here
[18:21] <storrgie> sskalnik, thanks again for helping me out
[18:21] <hwilde> !myth
[18:21] <sskalnik> storrgie, which filesystem did you use, and where did you put the / partition?
[18:21] <hwilde> !mythbuntu
[18:21] <hwilde> ^^
[18:21] <sskalnik> storrgie, Don't thank me unless it works! ;)
[18:21] <storrgie> i tried btrfs first, then ext4
[18:22] <storrgie> i put / on the md device
[18:22] <Exxon> lord-ivan_, wait for a bit later session i don't want to give you names :))
[18:22] <LeftTrouser> GNOME Mplayer seems to lock up my computer completely after playing a videos . Is this a common problem ?
[18:22] <storrgie> sskalnik, I created a partition with the leftover space on each of the SSDs, made that partition a RAID
[18:22] <sskalnik> storrgie, Did you put / on the first md device, i.e., on the first partition?
[18:22] <storrgie> then created a md0 out of those, raid1
[18:22] <storrgie> and put / on it
[18:22] <storrgie> I think the first partition is the swap
[18:23] <sskalnik> storrgie, That is probably why.
[18:23] <luca_bi> dear friends could you tell me the difference between bin/mysqldump -u root -p agenda > agenda_backup.txt
[18:23] <luca_bi> and mysql -u root -p nuova_agenda < agenda_backup.txt
[18:23] <Exxon> hwilde, http://www.mythbuntu.org/
[18:24] <storrgie> sskalnik, should I make the first partition a physical volume for raid?
[18:24] <kierkkadon> what is the ubuntu (specifically GNOME 3) equivalent of dxdiag?
[18:24] <sskalnik> storrgie, I would put the boot partition (/ or /boot) on the first partition
[18:24] <sskalnik> storrgie, Yes
[18:24] <llutz> luca_bi: first command exports your db"agenda" into a file, 2nd command restores it from a file into a db
[18:24] <oCean> luca_bi: also, please note there is a specific #mysql channel
[18:25] <storrgie> sskalnik, tryting that now
[18:25] <storrgie> sskalnik, so now I made the first partition a Physical volume for raid on both devices
[18:25] <sskalnik> storrgie, Cool.
[18:25] <Sidewinder1> oCean, Is it my imagination or are the floodbots 'acting-up', again?
[18:25] <storrgie> sskalnik, now making that md device my /
[18:25] <storrgie> sskalnik, doing ext4
[18:26] <hwilde> !enter | storrgie
[18:26] <Exxon> kierkkadon, please elobrate your question
[18:26] <sskalnik> storrgie, Yeah, that is exactly what I did.
[18:26] <PwrSurge> hopefully the open source driver actually works
[18:26] <storrgie> sskalnik, ok, letting the rest of the installer run
[18:26] <kierkkadon> Exxon, well, when I need to find info on my computer on windows I use dxdiag; is there some sort of equivalent in ubuntu?
[18:26] <storrgie> hwilde, sorry
[18:26] <oCean> Sidewinder1: hmm, seems so.
[18:26] <kierkkadon> I'm trying to figure out a bit of basic info about my machine
[18:26] <Sidewinder1> :D
[18:27] <storrgie> sskalnik, it may take a couple of minutes for the rest of the installer to run, im doing it from CD
[18:27] <PwrSurge> hmm
[18:27] <sskalnik> storrgie, Side note; are you doing one big partition, or separate ones for /home, /var, /tmp, etc.?
[18:27]  * Sidewinder1 Sighs..
[18:27] <storrgie> sskalnik, i think you can only do a single big partition once you make an md device
[18:28] <Exxon> kierkkadon, simply install xorg according to you vendor that it..there is not directx like windows here
[18:28] <sskalnik> storrgie, Yeah, but you can put several md devices on a physical drive.
[18:28] <storrgie> sskalnik, so yes im doing something like this {Disk1: 240G RAID, 16.4G Swap} {Disk2: 240G RAID, 16.4G Swap} {RAID1: 240G / ext4}
[18:28] <sskalnik> Cool
[18:28] <sskalnik> storrgie, Yeah that looks good
[18:29] <luca_bi> llutz: thanks very much another question
[18:29] <storrgie> sskalnik, its pulling updates and configuring apt
[18:29] <sskalnik> storrgie, Man you must have a ton of RAM
[18:29] <storrgie> sskalnik, should be to the grub installer soon
[18:29] <storrgie> sskalnik, I have 16G right now, but I'll likely bump to 32 sometime soon
[18:29] <storrgie> sskalnik, I'm using this system to test out zfs, its my home server. I typically do mdadm and ext4
[18:29] <luca_bi> why if I write bin/... it doesn't export my database and if I write without bin/ it exports??
[18:29] <sskalnik> storrgie, Haha, if you ever need ot use that swap space I will be amazed
[18:30] <storrgie> sskalnik, yeah i just remember someone saying swap needs to be 1.5 size the memory
[18:30] <ssta> you can do a root zfs?
[18:30] <sskalnik> storrgie, Never used zfs, but I know people who really like it.
[18:30] <sskalnik> storrgie, Yes that is a good rule of thumb
[18:30] <storrgie> ssta, you should check out the mailing lists for zfs I wouldnt ask that here, also go to #zfs
[18:30] <luca_bi> what is the meaning of bin/ in a comand from shell??
[18:31] <Kindari> Whats the package name for git on 11.04? just tried apt-get install git and then git-core and neither worked. Fresh install of 11.04
[18:31] <storrgie> ssta, yes, you can. I see many people have been doing it. I am going to keep my / ext4 for now. I would do btrfs if it had a fsck releasted
[18:31] <jrib> luca_bi: what exactly are you writing in your shell (in full)?
[18:31] <storrgie> sskalnik, its installing openssh then i think grub is next
[18:31] <storrgie> Kindari, probably git-common
[18:31] <luca_bi> jrib: bin/mysqldump -u root -p agenda > agenda_backup.txt
[18:31] <sskalnik> Kindari, apt-cache search git
[18:31] <storrgie> Kindari, sudo apt-cache search git
[18:31] <luca_bi> with this comand it doesn't export my database
[18:31] <llutz> luca_bi: don't use the "bin/" or use the correct path.
[18:32] <lduros> Hello, anybody knows if Ubuntu works well with all the components of the new dell XPS 14z laptop: http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-l412z/pd?~ck=mn -- it has an NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M with Optimus -- is this something that would work with nvidia drivers in ubuntu?
[18:32] <jrib> luca_bi: when you write "bin/mysqldump" you are telling your shell to look for a "bin" folder IN YOUR CURRENT DIRECTORY, go into it, and then run the "mysqldump" file inside
[18:32] <lduros> considering buying it, that's why i'm asking :-)
[18:32] <luca_bi> llutz: Yes if I don't use bin/ it works
[18:32] <luca_bi> why?
[18:32] <sskalnik> lduros, Most likely. Never seen an nvidia card that Linux didn't like
[18:32] <llutz> luca_bi: those commands are in /usr/bin/   so bin/mysql only would work if you are in /usr
[18:32] <storrgie> lduros, there are some projects to do optimus out there, search for them. You're in need of a lot of reading. I do think you're in luck though because the projects have been around for a couple months
[18:33] <storrgie> sskalnik, I'm still getting that fatal error
[18:33] <ssta> lduros: unless you need to drive multiple nvidia cards
[18:33] <Exxon> storrgie, swap have a size cylinder of 1024kb so really don't require that
[18:33] <sskalnik> storrgie, send me that error?
[18:33] <Exxon> storrgie, swap have a size cylinder of 1024mb so really don't require that
[18:33] <storrgie> "executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed. This is a fatal error"
[18:33] <PwrSurge> what a POS
[18:33] <lduros> sskalnik: storrgie: ssta: I don't understand what Optimus is so much though, I found this thread and that's why I was asking about it here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/46065/problems-with-nvidia-drivers-on-dell-xps
[18:33] <llutz> luca_bi: you want to read some basics about pathes and how to call binaries etc.
[18:34] <PwrSurge> any driver I try does not work
[18:34] <storrgie> lduros, its two graphics chips on the same machine, in windows they dynamically switch between the two chips. in linux you have to manually do it
[18:34] <sskalnik> storrgie, Is there a more informative log file?
[18:34] <PwrSurge> screen flashes instead of loading X
[18:34] <storrgie> sskalnik, .... im not so good when im in this mode, how could i get a log?
[18:34] <lduros> storrgie: ok, i see
[18:34] <storrgie> sskalnik, keep in mind this is the installer from CD
[18:34] <storrgie> sskalnik, should I try the alt installer?
[18:35] <storrgie> lduros, yeah so you would run your main environment on the intel card, because intel works really nice for unity and gnome-shell. then you could use the cli to launch certain apps and tell them to use your nvidia card
[18:35] <sskalnik> storrgie, drop to another tty (Alt-F2 or something) and look at /var/log/whatever
[18:35] <storrgie> lduros, from what I gather
[18:35] <lduros> storrgie: hmm ok
[18:35] <Exxon> PwrSurge, sorry to tell you ati have stopped the support for ati drivers so work with vesa
[18:35] <lduros> storrgie: so really the nvidia card wouldn't be used that much
[18:35] <storrgie> sskalnik, syslog?
[18:35] <sskalnik> storrgie, Sorry I can't remember the exact names of the logs, but there should be a grub log or a syslog
[18:35] <sskalnik> storrgie, Yeah check that
[18:36] <storrgie> sskalnik, ok its coming across the screen, one tick
[18:36] <sskalnik> storrgie, It might take a while; did for me.
[18:36] <storrgie> ahhhhh
[18:36] <luca_bi> llutz: Ok I know folder /usr/bin but if I don't put bin/ the comand works
[18:36] <storrgie> sskalnik, This GPT partition lavel has no bios boot partition, embedding wont be possible
[18:36] <tyujk> !list
[18:36] <llutz> luca_bi: you want to read some basics about pathes and how to call binaries etc.   don't use prefix bin/   to call those commands!
[18:36] <luca_bi> llutz: In bin I have a lot of files executable
[18:36] <storrgie> sskalnik, you're using MBR right? I think my disks were GPT to start with
[18:36] <sskalnik> storrgie, Ahhhh yes
[18:37] <storrgie> sskalnik, I think I need to make a 1 or 2 Meg BIOS boot partition
[18:37] <storrgie> on each disk
[18:37] <Sepho> Hi guys!
[18:37] <llutz> luca_bi: check "echo $PATH"  you don't need to give pathes to binaries in all these listed directories
[18:37] <storrgie> lduros, yeah it wouldnt be, some bios let you force intel OR nvidia
[18:37] <sskalnik> storrgie, That would be outside my knowhow; only used GPT on a Mac and that was a while ago
[18:37] <storrgie> lduros, you could choose
[18:37] <Exxon> PwrSurge, every things will work fine, only compiz will not work..i really don't care about the look ..( looks can always decieve) :))
[18:37] <luca_bi> llutz: Yes I want to read something more about pathes
[18:37] <storrgie> sskalnik, so I should probably just do MBR
[18:37] <Sepho> I've installed Ubuntu 11.04 and I want to install Gnome3 to use gnome-shell but I can't find gnome-shell in synaptic... any idea?
[18:38] <storrgie> sskalnik, could you confirm your disks are MBR?
[18:38] <sskalnik> storrgie, Definitely MBR
[18:38] <sskalnik> luca_bi, http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/Linux_Fundamentals,_Part_1
[18:38] <lduros> storrgie: I see
[18:38] <storrgie> lduros, I plan to buy one someone soon. I'll probably just use intel all the time, its less power hungry and it has very good driver support
[18:38] <lduros> :-)
[18:38] <lduros> right
[18:38] <luca_bi> llutz: /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[18:38] <lduros> storrgie: you were planning on buying the xps 14z?
[18:39] <storrgie> lduros, I prefer Fedora for my desktop/laptop because I like gnome-shell. however I still use ubuntu on my servers
[18:39] <sskalnik> luca_bi, That will answer a lot of questions about things like bin vs /bin vs /usr/bin
[18:39] <PwrSurge> Exxon, : i'm not even getting X period
[18:39] <lduros> storrgie: ok, couldn't you use gnome-shell in ubuntu or debian though?
[18:39] <storrgie> lduros, im not sure, I kind of want one of the newer ultrabooks... i just figure they will all come with Intel/Nvidia optimus crap
[18:39] <PwrSurge> screen keeps flashing and X does not load
[18:40] <PwrSurge> should have never upgraded
[18:40] <storrgie> lduros, i think so, however ubuntu keeps changing so many things each release without documenting why... mainly the things that are not integrating with upstream.. that I just choose fedora
[18:40] <lduros> storrgie: yeh, the newer ultrabooks are too thin for me though, they'd fly away on my lap in my backyard :-P
[18:40] <storrgie> lduros, i'm probably speaking blasphemy here
[18:40] <hkm> hi, some help pls
[18:40] <hkm> http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/7169/pantallazodel2011112813.png
[18:40] <PwrSurge> too bad I can't downgrade
[18:40] <jussi> storrgie: lduros best to keep the chatter to #ubuntu-offtopic and this place for direct support ;)
[18:40] <PwrSurge> basically have to reformat and start again
[18:40] <lduros> storrgie: what's the advantage of fedora? :-P I'd miss the "Debian" way of organizing things a bit, especially after taking great pains learning it
[18:40] <PwrSurge> crap
[18:41] <Exxon> PwrSurge, rember always backup the xorg while  to try installing alien drivers =experiment it..rather playing.
[18:41] <PwrSurge> it's not a new driver
[18:41] <PwrSurge> was working fine when I was running 10.10
[18:41] <storrgie> lduros, I would just check it out, fedora is a very nice system if you know linux.  I can help you settle into fedora from that
[18:42] <jussi> storrgie: really - please use #ubuntu-offtopic for this kind of chatter.
[18:42] <NEMOW> maz
[18:42] <lduros> thanks :-P I'll msg you if I have issues installing it ;-)
[18:42] <storrgie> jussi, yeah i figured its not welcome to do that here, apologies
[18:42] <Exxon> PwrSurge, you have to know about the hardware that you use we else will
[18:42] <jussi> storrgie: thanks
[18:42] <luca_bi> llutz: If you have a file in these directories you don't need to write path?
[18:43] <llutz> luca_bi: correct
[18:43] <Yuukon> I need a little help, my school has a wifi network secured with an username-password method, and I can't get my netbook running Ubuntu 11.10 32bit to connect to it, can anybody help me??
[18:43] <PwrSurge> ATI radeon hd 3650
[18:43] <hkm> http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/7169/pantallazodel2011112813.png some solution?
[18:43] <sskalnik> Yuukon, sure
[18:43] <Yuukon> Great, sskalnik
[18:43] <sskalnik> Yuukon, Do you have the pass and username?
[18:43] <storrgie> hkm, dont repeatedly ask.... also why dont you explain what is going on instead of just spamming a link to a screen shot.
[18:43] <Exxon> PwrSurge, i am using ati..
[18:44] <Exxon> PwrSurge, lspci -v | VGA
[18:44] <Yuukon> Yes, sskalnik , but the network isn't in range right now as I am home
[18:44] <storrgie> sskalnik, im trying to do the same install with MBR right now, ill let you know if it sticks this time
[18:44] <hkm> is about grapich distorsion, u can see on guake terminal a example
[18:44] <Gl3ndiffich> Bonjour a tous est ce que quelqu'un peut me rappeler quel est le champ d'entraide !!??
[18:45] <oCean> !fr | Gl3ndiffich
[18:45] <sskalnik> Yuukon, Alright. When you try to connect to the network, what happens?
[18:45] <sskalnik> storrgie, OK.
[18:45] <Yuukon> It's trying to connect for ages, then prompts me with an login screen again, sskalnik
[18:45] <hwilde> Yuukon, are you putting in your domain with your username
[18:46] <sskalnik> Yuukon, can you confirm that you're using the exact correct password? It sounds like the authentication is being rejected.
[18:46] <hwilde> sskalnik, probably needs domain name.
[18:46] <sskalnik> hwilde, Indeed
[18:46] <Yuukon> Yes, sskalnik , these are the same things as I use in Windows, and it works fine there.
[18:46] <hwilde> try<EMAIL_ADDRESS> or   yourdomain\yuukon
[18:46] <sskalnik> hwilde, Yuukon, At any rate, sounds like the authentication - either username or pass -  is wrong.
[18:47] <Yuukon> There isn't a domain to put in, hwilde
[18:47] <hwilde> sure there is
[18:47] <Yuukon> sskalnik, it works in windows perfectly fine with the same username password combination.
[18:47] <hwilde> in windows it is probably put in for you since you are on the domain....
[18:47] <Yuukon> sskalnik, Ubuntu however does ask for a certifacate.
[18:49] <sskalnik> Yuukon, set wireless security to None or Off
[18:49] <PwrSurge> it works if I go in safemode and i do startx
[18:49] <Yuukon> I can't try it right now, sskalnik , but I will try it out tomorrow.
[18:49] <sskalnik> Yuukon, That sounds like your school is using one of those wonky Cisco security systems
[18:49] <Yuukon> Yeah, I think it is, sskalnik , there are more people having trouble connecting.
[18:50] <boxbeatsy> hi, i'm starting to do some research into choosing a new laptop to buy.  does anyone have any recommendations on a good laptop that can be used to run ubuntu for general programming tasks/browsing, and a dual boot of windows to play games?
[18:51] <Sidewinder1> Yuukon, If you/they can't connect, they're certainly secure.. ;-)
[18:51] <Yuukon> Lol indeed Sidewinder1
[18:51] <PwrSurge> and that's using the radeon driver, not vesa
[18:52] <sskalnik> Yuukon, It is probably Clean Access by Cisco. What is happening is that it's asking for CA certificates that aren't in Ubuntu be default. I would talk to the local sysadmin about what certs you need.
[18:52] <PwrSurge> what is going on
[18:52] <Sidewinder1> Yuukon, Sorry, I couldn't resist. :D
[18:52] <KM0201> boxbeatsy: main thing, is don't get a laptop w/ those dual GPU's, they seem to cause a ton of problems
[18:52] <Exxon> PwrSurge, there is a way to test compiz if it work without installing it. i will give you a link
[18:52] <Yuukon> sskalnik, it indeed asks for CA certificates, I couldn't get to it for a minute. I've been googling my butt off already but anything I try isn't really helping, but thank you for trying, will contact local sysadmin :)
[18:53] <Yuukon> Well it is true Sidewinder1 :P
[18:53] <sskalnik> boxbeatsy, Anything specific you plan to do with the laptop? What is your price range, and how much does battery life and size and weight matter?
[18:53] <sskalnik> Yuukon, You are welcome; good luck!
[18:53] <Yuukon> Thank you!
[18:54] <Sidewinder1> Yuukon, Yes, good luck!
[18:54] <sskalnik> Heh, I log in to get my issue fixed; end up helping people with their issues instead.
[18:54] <Exxon> PwrSurge, you will now it exactly follow the link it will not harm the system http://www.ubuntugeek.com/check-compiz-will-run-on-your-ubuntu-desktop-or-not.html
[18:54] <sskalnik> Day is still productive!
[18:54] <boxbeatsy> sskalnik: battery life/size/weight isn't a concern (will be plugged in most of the time).  price range <$800.  i'm planning on doing some general programming on ubuntu and dualbooting into windows for gaming
[18:55] <sskalnik> boxbeatsy, How hardcore are you about the gaming?
[18:55] <hwilde> boxbeatsy, http://www.ubuntu.com/dell
[18:55] <boxbeatsy> sskalnik: not especially, but i'd like to be able to run the latest games on lowest settings
[18:55] <Exxon> PwrSurge, its like dxdiag in windows to know
[18:55] <sharpK> is there any way to view folders (in a home folder) in a different way? like a detailed list (as in windows)?
[18:56] <boxbeatsy> hwilde: i was looking at that, but it looks like dell discontinud support.  at least when oyu click on said USA link, it leads to a page with no options
[18:56] <hwilde> boxbeatsy, oh I guess I am obsolete.
[18:56] <boxbeatsy> hehe
[18:57] <axl_> hey guys... I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I did some googling on this but did not find the information. any ides how i upgrade OpenSSH ?
[18:58] <ypahnu> hello guys! the new ubuntu it's wierd, I miss the top menu that side bars it's terrible
[18:58] <hwilde> ypahnu, change to gnome then
[18:59] <PwrSurge> Exxon, : 404
[18:59] <PwrSurge> http://blogage.de/files/3448/download?compiz-check_0.1-1_all.deb is 404 not found
[19:00] <Sidewinder1> ypahnu, You might, then wish to return to 10.04; that's what I'm using and it'll be supported for a couple of years more.. :-)
[19:00] <sskalnik> boxbeatsy, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230077
[19:00] <Exxon> PwrSurge, are you using proxy
[19:00] <PwrSurge> no
[19:00] <PwrSurge> check it out for yourself
[19:01] <Jordan_U> storrgie: Rather than switching away from GPT, why not just create a BIOS Boot Partition?
[19:01] <sskalnik> HD screen, BLuRay, good video card, good specs all around.
[19:01] <PwrSurge> the article loads ok but compiz-check it wants to use is 404 not found
[19:01] <sharpK> What's the best anti-virus for ubuntu?
[19:01] <sskalnik> boxbeatsy, ASUS tends to have very high build quality and performance, relatively speaking.
[19:01] <sharpK> and possibly free, less there is a huge difference
[19:01] <hwilde> !antivirus
[19:02] <Exxon> PwrSurge, link works fine
[19:02] <sskalnik> sharpK, Welcome to a wor;d without the need for a virus scanner
[19:02] <PwrSurge> my system is basically unusable now
[19:02] <boxbeatsy> sskalnik: cool, thanks! this looks good
[19:02] <sharpK> ubottu, that's exactly the case, I am using an Ubuntu desktop 11.10 on a server box, which will have torrents downlaoded to it, and the windows users would access
[19:02] <sskalnik> boxbeatsy, I think you will like it. I've gotten nearly everyone I know into the ASUS camp
[19:02] <Kindari> I thought on 11.04 byobu was the default terminal? It is not even installed. After installing it, how can I make it the default terminal for all users?
[19:03] <PwrSurge> ok, i see it now
[19:03] <sharpK> sskalnik, yeah, but as a server, windows users would use it, I just want to be able to scan torrent files and all that stuff on a regular basis from the server box rather than use up my computer
[19:03] <PwrSurge> the wget url in the article is dead
[19:03] <sskalnik> sharpK, Ah, so you want to make sure the files are virus free?
[19:04] <sharpK> yeah, before they make their way over to a windows computer in the network
[19:04] <sskalnik> sharpK, Gotcha.
[19:04] <Exxon> PwrSurge, i did not tell you wget did i or i could have given it to you
[19:04] <sharpK> figured it's be easier and a better use of resources to have the server check the files itself
[19:04] <sskalnik> sharpK, This server would be used for totally legal downloads of a legitimate nature that wouldn't normally contain viruses right?
[19:05] <sharpK> Naturally ;)
[19:05] <sskalnik> sharpK, I thought so. XD
[19:05] <Kindari> sskalnik, of course, just there *may* be infected ubuntu ISOs.. better safe then sorry :)
[19:05]  * Kindari whistles
[19:06] <sskalnik> sharpK, your best bet is probably NOD32 is you want to take zero chances
[19:06] <sskalnik> sharpK, If you want free, there is ClamAV
[19:06] <sharpK> thanks for the info
[19:06] <sskalnik> s/is/if
[19:07] <sskalnik> sharpK, No prob; you might try to demo NOD32 on the Windows boxen as well....
[19:07] <papsky> anti-virus is for the fearful
[19:07] <PwrSurge> the real page for compiz-check is actually http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check
[19:07] <thisistheaussiet> I've found a bug with nVidia and the Grid Feature (Snap).. Should I file it somewhere?
[19:07] <papsky> jump in
[19:07] <battlepotc> the rt2800_pci is already solved?
[19:07] <sskalnik> sharpK, It's effective enough for me to download viruses just for giggles.
[19:08] <Exxon> PwrSurge, i know that so what the outcome
[19:08] <sharpK> sskalnik, those are some construcive hobbies you've got there
[19:08] <sskalnik> sharpK, The best way to make sure something works is to try to prove it doesn't. ;)
[19:08] <battlepotc> is there a kernel for dev?
[19:08] <battlepotc> a channel
[19:09] <storrgie> sskalnik, do you have any experience using 'disk utility'?
[19:09] <storrgie> sskalnik, i would like to now use it to connect to my server
[19:09] <sskalnik> storrgie, Yeah
[19:09] <storrgie> sskalnik, mbr fixed my problems
[19:09] <sskalnik> storrgie, Sweet
[19:09] <sharpK> sskalnik the linuxian method....
[19:09] <battlepotc> can someone please help me?
[19:10] <storrgie> sskalnik, i get errors when i try to connect to my server with disk utility, have you ever tried to see your system remotely?
[19:10] <BluesKaj> BBL, stuff to do
[19:10] <ypahnu> so I will stay on U10.04 ,, thanks alot
[19:10] <storrgie> I get this error: ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/libexec/openssh/ssh-askpass): No such file or directoryHost key
[19:10] <sskalnik> storrgie, Nope, not via disk utility. I can try though
[19:11] <lucidguy> bash tip??  Need to run the following command 6 times " cpufreq-selector -c 0 -g performance "    yet I want the 0 to increment each time -c 0, 1, 2, 3 .. etc.  Any quick tip?
[19:11] <sskalnik> storrgie, What is disk utility's real name? I'm on Xubuntu, so there's no "disk utility"
[19:12] <storrgie> geesh i dont know
[19:12] <Exxon> lucidguy, you require a script
[19:12] <Pici> !details  | battlepotc
[19:13] <battlepotc> Pici, I have an kernel panic when using wireless with rt61 driver
[19:13] <battlepotc> and wpa_supplicant
[19:13] <battlepotc> and the lastest version of ubuntu
[19:14] <Exxon> battlepotc, ubuntu don't use wpa_supplicant ..click is enough here
[19:14] <battlepotc> Exxon, yes but i still have the kernel panic using the rt61 driver
[19:15] <sskalnik> storrgie, Installing disk utility
[19:15] <Exxon> battlepotc, modprobe the drivers
[19:16] <spoq> is there any drivers for Tubuntu?
[19:16] <battlepotc> Exxon, has i said rt61 driver
[19:16] <lucidguy> got it ...    for i in {0..5}; do cpufreq-selector -c "$i" -g performance; done
[19:16] <Exxon> modprobe rt61
[19:17] <battlepotc> Exxon, the module is already loaded
[19:17] <Exxon> battlepotc, dmesg | grep rt61
[19:17] <battlepotc> the problem is that the driver has some kind of bug
[19:17] <user031> hello
[19:17] <hwilde> battlepotc, to remove it:   modprobe -r       then blacklist it
[19:17] <hwilde> !blacklist
[19:18] <Exxon> battlepotc, dis-connect and re-connect nothing will panic
[19:18] <battlepotc> hwilde, yeh but i need the driver for wireless
[19:18] <user031> i need to copy files from a boot partition that had arch linux installed on it
[19:18] <user031> i can access it using the ubuntu disk
[19:18] <user031> but i cant access the /home directory
[19:18] <hwilde> battlepotc, rip it out and install a better wireless.
[19:18] <jrib> user031: why not?
[19:18] <battlepotc> hwilde, yeh that is a usefull solution
[19:18] <battlepotc> thanks
[19:19] <BarkingFish> battlepotc: sorry to make you go over stuff, what wireless are you having grief with and what is the problem?
[19:19] <user031> i dont know jrib
[19:19] <user031> should i be using something like chroot
[19:19] <jrib> user031: what happens when you try to access them?
[19:19] <user031> ?
[19:19] <user031> i get an error
[19:19] <jrib> user031: what error?
[19:19] <user031> i cant recall
[19:19] <battlepotc> BarkingFish, i use the rt61 driver and  i have some kernel panics that doesnt let me shutdown my machine
[19:19] <user031> something to do with permissions
[19:19] <jrib> user031: that would be helpful.
[19:20] <BarkingFish> battlepotc: is it an internal or external wireless?
[19:20] <jrib> user031: run « gksudo nautilus » when you're on the live cd again
[19:20] <battlepotc> BarkingFish, external
[19:20] <user031> k
[19:20] <storrgie> sskalnik, did some poking around, your hosts will have to have udisks installed
[19:20] <hwilde> bug #200142
[19:20] <user031> i will give that a try
[19:20] <storrgie> which is an available package
[19:20] <PwrSurge> Exxon: unable to open display
[19:20] <BarkingFish> right. Have you tried running the device using ndiswrapper. battlepotc?
[19:20] <sskalnik> storrgie, I was just about to say!
[19:20] <PwrSurge> it says I have a Radeon HD 3600 series
[19:20] <PwrSurge> AIGLX
[19:20] <battlepotc> BarkingFish, no
[19:20] <battlepotc> but i dont think i need it
[19:21] <spoq> "kernel panic" sounds like it was having a very heavy burtation
[19:21] <battlepotc> the linux has the driver
[19:21] <user031> gona give ubuntu a try for a few months
[19:21] <BarkingFish> battlepotc: it's an alternative way of getting round if the inbuilt driver causes kernel panic
[19:21] <spoq> "kernel panic" sounds like it was having a very heavy burtation
[19:21] <user031> but i'll be missing openbox im sure
[19:21] <battlepotc> BarkingFish, i dont know how to use it
[19:21] <Exxon> PwrSurge, vesa drivers are not for compiz don't don't have ati drivers and work along..forget compiz it really don't matter if really want to work than fancy stuff
[19:21] <BarkingFish> i can teach you if you wish, it's not difficult
[19:21] <user031> can i be using some kind of tray while using unity jrib?
[19:21] <user031> for the open apps?
[19:21] <jrib> user031: I don't know
[19:22] <user031> i dont like that tray on the left
[19:22] <schultza> what happened to /etc/inittab ?
[19:22] <battlepotc> BarkingFish, i prefer some tutorial. can you recommend me one? :)
[19:22] <user031> would be nice to use it only for shortcuts
[19:22] <BarkingFish> battlepotc: not really, i don't know of any tutorials for it.
[19:22] <BarkingFish> I know how to use it, and regularly teach others on irc how to use it too
[19:22] <battlepotc> so can you give me the steps? i
[19:23] <BarkingFish> sure battlepotc - rather than clog the channel, I'll do it in PM with you if that's ok
[19:23] <battlepotc> sure
[19:23] <BarkingFish> one moment, i'll be right with you
[19:23] <hwilde> battlepotc, seriously, rip out your wifi card, throw it in the garbage, and buy a supported one
[19:23] <hwilde> do it now before you waste hours of your life with ndiswrapper
[19:24] <BarkingFish> hwilde: that's not a particularly fair assessment. I set up ndiswrapper in a quarter hour and I've been using it issue free for 4 years.
[19:24] <battlepotc> hwilde, can you sent me the money to a new one?
[19:25] <BarkingFish> if your answer is "buy something better", kindly fund it :)

[19:33] <Exxon> PwrSurge, did you backput xorg before trying ..
[19:33] <PwrSurge> nothing to do with xorg
[19:34] <PwrSurge> it works when I boot failsafe then type startx at the terminal

[19:35] <rkhshm> Exxon: the same error
[19:35] <Exxon> PwrSurge, must always make copy or backup of the xorg before editing or installing experimenting drivers

[19:35] <wyuka> in which channel can i get hold of the wubi developers?
[19:36] <hwilde> Jinxed-,   under the iface eth0 block add a line that says      up route add -net <IP_ADDRESS>/8 dev eth0
[19:36] <hwilde> Jinxed-, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-add-permanent-static-routes-in-ubuntu.html
[19:36] <Exxon> rkhshm, sudo modprobe rtl8192se
[19:36] <hwilde> rkhshm, Exxon,   lsmod | grep rt                  to find the module name.

[19:38] <rkhshm> Exxon: do i need this http://www.wireless-driver.com/realtek-rtl8191se-rtl8192se-wireless-drivers-utility/
[19:39] <Jinxed-> hwilde, does the file need special permissions
[19:39] <Jinxed-> because it doesn't seem to work for me
[19:39] <hwilde> Jinxed-, look at the example in the link I sent you
[19:40] <Exxon> rkhshm, that is it wlan0..wlan1 etc.
[19:40] <hwilde> Jinxed-,  look at the examples in  /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces.gz
[19:41] <rkhshm> Exxon: what?
[19:41] <PwrSurge> why would X work in safe mode only?

[19:52] <hasufell> bfreis: rsync
[19:52] <PwrSurge> fixed
[19:52] <PwrSurge> it was not even a graphics driver issue
[19:53] <raheel> thanks histol thanks a lot
[19:53] <Norwack> No one answered my question :-(
[19:53] <hasufell> Norwack: well, mine neither, lol
[19:53] <balachmar> Anybody else got any idea? USB stopped working, usb stick not recognized in bios. lsusb also shows up only root devices... Is my usb on the motherboard dead?
[19:53] <naftilos76> hi can anybody suggest a peer-to-peer app for ubuntu? MP3s, videos etc...
[19:53] <hasufell> balachmar: try with usb-controller
[19:54] <bfreis> hasufell: yeah, I know I can write something by myself using rsync. I just don't want to manually rsync my files. I want a tool that would allow me to define backup profiles (incremental daily backups, full weekly backups, specify folders, etc)
[19:54] <Norwack> hasufell: I Know, wonder why no body is using askubuntu.com
[19:54] <Kamiccolo> naftilos76, in what network are You interested in?
[19:54] <Freestyle> hey
[19:54] <Norwack> im using wubi and it have beeing show installing ubuntu 11.10 for over an hour, over the progess bar it says: expanding and the progress bar have been going from left to the right multiply times, is it installed? or have it some kind of froze? any help would be appriciated :-) IMAGE: http://morsomt.net/e/1322510487.png
[19:54] <balachmar> hasufell, what should I try? With a seperate usb controller on a pci card? I don't have one...
[19:54] <ratcheer> bfreis: Take a look at Deja Dup
[19:54] <hasufell> bfreis: Grsync is a ui for rsync
[19:55] <bfreis> hasufell: ok, thanks. I know about rsync AND grsync.  Forget it.
[19:55] <bfreis> I want something like "Syncback" (for windows) from 2brightsparks
[19:55] <hasufell> balachmar: well, hard to tell. you can at least try the stick on another pc, but that wont tell you whats the problem on your mainboard
[19:55] <bfreis> ratcheer: I will take a look, thanks!
[19:56] <bfreis> "Déjà Dup is a simple backup tool. It hides the complexity of backing up the Right Way (encrypted, off-site, and regular) and uses duplicity as the backend"
[19:56] <bfreis> seems like what I'm looking for!
[19:56] <hasufell> bfreis: i dont see the problem, you can control rsync with simple scripts you can add it as a cronjob and so on
[19:56] <balachmar> hasufell, the devices themselves work fine
[19:56] <Norwack> OMG, Is no one going to help me?????
[19:57] <bfreis> hasufell: the problem is exactly what you described: I don't want to write "simple scripts" and control anything with cron. Ideally, I'd want to apt-get install something, launch a software once, input my S3 key and it should do its job automatically. If you insist that I should write a bunch of scripts, thanks, but you aren't helping here.
[19:57] <hasufell> bfreis: i backup my root-fs with a double klick to a remote system
[19:57] <balachmar> Norwack: It is probably just installing still, maybe it is expanding some disk image?
[19:57] <ratcheer> bfreis: You're welcome. Deja Dup is what I use, and I've used pro backup tools on large systems for many years.
[19:57] <Pici> Norwack: If no one knows the answer, no one is going to be able to provide help.  You're free to search on our forums or on askubuntu.com while you wait.  I'd like to add that many people feel that wubi is not worth the troubles that go along with it.
[19:57] <bfreis> ratcheer: great! thanks for the tip!
[19:58] <Norwack> wubi have worked great before, a couple days ago it worked
[19:59] <elb0w> So i just installed ubuntu on one of our servers and all I have are random specs of colors
[19:59] <elb0w> when it boots
[19:59] <elb0w> any idea?
[20:00] <hasufell> elb0w: does not happen with the livecd i guess?
[20:00] <elb0w> hasufell: installed it straight
[20:00] <elb0w> didnt go to live cd
[20:00] <bfreis> holy crap, is there any big web host down today? Launchpad is horribly slow, so is stackoverflow and many other sites!
[20:01] <hasufell> elb0w: try livecd...
[20:01] <elb0w> hasufell: why
[20:01] <OerHeks> elb0w, sounds like bad videocard, or bad cooling
[20:01] <elb0w> it has nvidia cards in it
[20:01] <hasufell> elb0w: if its not even working there, then its about the installation/setup itself
[20:01] <hasufell> of ubuntu i mean
[20:02] <elb0w> grub works
[20:02] <hasufell> elb0w: try with knoppix as well. if it does not work in knoppix, it wont work anywhere
[20:02] <elb0w> ive used this cd on 5 other machines
[20:02] <elb0w> no issue
[20:02] <elb0w> knoppix?
[20:02] <teddie> bfreis, it's probably the cold winter weather causing more ice to block the tubes?
[20:02] <haider> hwilde, i mean amd64 version got installed instead of intel 32 bit coz it has been showing amd64 everywhere.
[20:02] <hasufell> elb0w: thats a rescue livecd it has the best hardware detection i know of
[20:02] <boxbeatsy> hi, im going to buy a new laptop today, and i'm looking at this one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834214506).  i'm going ot be using it for general programming on ubuntu and dual booting into windows for gaming (low graphics settings fine as long as recent games run).  can anyone take a look and confirm that i'm not overlooking anything.  it seems too cheap.
[20:02] <NeedSomeHelp> Hello, anyone know a little gimp?
[20:03] <hasufell> elb0w: if knoppix does not work properly for you its definitley a hardware issue...
[20:03] <bfreis> teddie: maybe! though where I live it is 32 C (90 F) right now!
[20:03] <boxbeatsy> i looked up how the CPU/video card benchmark and they both seem on the high end
[20:03] <teddie> bfreis, I mean in the countries where they are hosted :P they are usually hosted in cool locations to keep cooling costs low
[20:03] <teddie> so naturally ice will form in the intertubes in winter
[20:04] <CloudQc> boxbeatsy - you wont be running many games with that (unless you mean chess or some other 2d games)
[20:05] <boxbeatsy> CloudQc: i was looking up video card benchmarks and it seems to score pretty well (http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/video_lookup.php?gpu=Radeon+HD+6520G).  do you think i will be able to run starcraft2 on it?
[20:05] <fornix> can i install ubuntu on a dynamic disk?
[20:07] <haider> help me, amd64 version got installed instead of intel 32 bit
[20:07] <haider> help me, it seems amd64 version got installed instead of intel 32 bit

[20:07] <Jezzz> <- dirty windows user
[20:07] <fornix> haider: whats wrong with and64?
[20:08] <ratcheer> haider: If you need 32-bit, then you just need to reinstall from scratch.
[20:08] <fornix> haider: dont get confused by the "amd" word in amd64. Intel 64 bit processors like core2duo or i3, etc should use amd64 if you want 64 bit os
[20:09] <PacketPenguin> ipod touch latest generation work in 11.10 using banshee?
[20:10] <bfreis> ratcheer: hey, about deja-dup, I've seen some printscreens showing "S3" as an option for the backup location, however it doesn't show up here in my installation! Any ideas?
[20:10] <haider> fornix: whats the difference b/w 32bit and 64?
[20:10] <Jezzz> '/etc/init.d/nscd restart' says no such file
[20:10] <bfreis> ratcheer: oh, never mind... I've just found it...
[20:11] <ratcheer> bfreis: I've never used it. I think it is a cloud service you have to subscribe to.
[20:11] <bfreis> ratcheer: the GUI looks a bit buggy, since I'm on kde and it seems like a gtk interface
[20:12] <fornix> Jezzz: u need to install nscd
[20:12] <rewb0rn> hi, i am running a remote ubuntu server. i started a java programm that is listening on ports 9933 and 80, but i can only connect to port 9933. netstat -nlp tells me that my app is listening to both ports. what am i missing?
[20:12] <haider> also when i use synaptic package manager and install any package it says size mismatch?
[20:13] <haider> pls help?
[20:13] <Jezzz> fornix:  ok.  in the absence of nscd, what handles dns caching?
[20:13] <ania> if you want to see different between 32 bit and 64 bit ....write it in googler
[20:13] <elb0w> how do you find the fastest apt server from shell?
[20:13] <CloudQc> boxbeatsy: I cant say for sure, but I wouldnt even try with that card, it might run, but not very well
[20:13] <vto> hi, anyone with a 8800gts 320 (g80) beinf able to platback videos without tearing in twinview ?
[20:14] <CloudQc> fixed all my ubuntu problems by installing gnome desktop!
[20:14] <CloudQc> <-- is happy
[20:14] <fornix> Jezzz: I personally never had to use flushdns on linux machine. its smarter
[20:14] <Jezzz> fornix:  hmm..well, i just added a host and it's showing on my windows box, but not my linux one
[20:14] <captain_hook> if my machine reboots at home is it possible to log back into the newly started gnome session trough ssh ? (the vnc server staring after the login screen)
[20:15] <fornix> haider: not much difference in 64 bit and 32 bit systems if you dont have a system with lots of RAM. > 4 GB or so.
[20:15] <sandstrom> How can I hide processes such as "    2 root      20   0     0    0    0 S  0.0  0.0   0:00.01 kthreadd" from top?
[20:15] <fornix> Jezzz: when you say u added a host, what do you exactly mean? you connect a pc on ur network?
[20:15] <max10> ciao
[20:15] <max10> !list
[20:15] <Jezzz> fornix:  added an A record in zone file
[20:16] <rafal_> hi all
[20:16] <LilleCarl> sandstrom ive tries to achieve the same
[20:16] <boxbeatsy> CloudQc: gotcha, thanks
[20:16] <balachmar> mmm, no usb devices are detected, but they are powered, because the usb hard disk is spinning...
[20:17] <raven> i have following "ACPI Error: A valid RSDP was not found (20090903/tbxfroot-219)" - what is that and how to solve that?
[20:17] <fornix> Jezzz: are you adding hostnames to /etc/hosts file? its equivalent to ur hosts file in windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
[20:18] <Jezzz> fornix:  do a domain's dns records
[20:18] <Jezzz> fornix:  -do +to
[20:18] <spoq> spinning?
[20:18] <spoq> are you a Deejay?
[20:19] <fornix> Jezzz: your /etc/resolv.conf has ur dns server ip correctly?
[20:19] <Jezzz> fornix:  no idea what that is, but if I ping the host I created, it's not found
[20:19] <fornix> Jezzz: check with $ sudo cat /etc/etc/resolv.conf
[20:19] <fornix> Jezzz: drop one /etc
[20:20] <Jezzz> fornix:  yep, that looks fine
[20:20] <fornix> Jezzz: do you find a line called nameserver x.x.x.x where x.x.x.x is ur dns server ip
[20:20] <Jezzz> fornix:  yes
[20:21] <fornix> Jezzz: when u ping, does it resolve the ip address correctly?
[20:21] <Jezzz> fornix:  when I ping the new host?
[20:21] <fornix> Jezzz: yes.
[20:21] <raven> i have following "ACPI Error: A valid RSDP was not found (20090903/tbxfroot-219)" - what is that and how to solve that?
[20:21] <Jezzz> fornix:  no, says unknown host - that's why I'm trying to refresh my dns cache
[20:22] <fornix> Jezzz: your dns ip has a valid route right? maybe the sytem is not able to reach the dns server. try pinging dns server ip
[20:22] <PwrSurge> thanks ubuntu for wasting my entire day
[20:23] <Jezzz> fornix:  I can ping the dns server.  i can ping other sites fine, and browse the web fine.
[20:23] <Jezzz> fornix:  if my system couldn't reach the dns server, I wouldn't be able to connect to freenode.net ;)
[20:24] <Schmuck> hi
[20:24] <fornix> Jezzz: oh u r talkin about a dns server on the internet :P I thought it was some internal network.
[20:24] <Schmuck> yes i agree good sir
[20:25] <Jezzz> fornix:  yes :)
[20:25] <Packi> hi
[20:25] <fornix> Jezzz: nscd restarting seems to be the solution. dont know other way to flush the dns cache. are you sure the dns server has picked up the new host
[20:25] <PackiScmusk> where are we?
[20:25] <PackiScmusk> is this the internets
[20:25] <Jezzz> fornix:  i suppose that could be the issue, i'm not sure if this particular dns server has it or not
[20:26] <fornix> Jezzz: whats the host. let me try if i can ping it
[20:28] <Exxon> fornix, what you want thei ip of his dns :((
[20:29] <fornix> Exxon: Just the new host which he is trying to ping using his DNS
[20:29] <Exxon> fornix, he can resolve it by himself as his hosting his own web server
[20:31] <Jezzz> Exxon:  trying to find out why I can't ping the new host from my local ubuntu box, not resolve the ip from hostname
[20:31] <Sazpaimon> so I'm in a liveCD install to clone my drive (/dev/sdc) to a fresh new drive (/dev/sda)
[20:31] <Sazpaimon> I accidently dd'd sda to sdc initially, and realized my mistake a few seconds later
[20:32] <Exxon> Jezzz, you are inside the dmz, you have got to work it alone we can ask you many think that can danger your server itself
[20:32] <Sazpaimon> however, the partition table is now wiped out
[20:32] <Sazpaimon> what can I do?
[20:33] <dweez> maybe the new host is blocking ICMP
[20:33] <sysdoc> Sazpaimon, testdisk\
[20:34] <Sazpaimon> testdisk can retore a missing partition table?
[20:34] <Sazpaimon> or will it just let me get the files off it?
[20:34] <sysdoc> yup
[20:34] <Sazpaimon> okay thank goodness
[20:34] <Sazpaimon> hopefully I didn't zero out any actual data
[20:34] <Sazpaimon> probably just the windows recovery partition
[20:34] <sysdoc> Sazpaimon,  http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[20:35] <sharpK> does anyone here have experience sharing a wireless printer through samba (with ubuntu as a server) to windows computers on the network?
[20:36] <mutante> is it like a default that these are dropped in ufw firewall?  chain  "ufw-user-input":  tcp dpt:afs3-vlserver   tcp dpt:57868
[20:41] <gasull> I can't open an iso in usb-creator-gtk.  I don't get an error or anything.
[20:42] <gasull> I see. I think it's only for Ubuntu .iso's.
[20:42] <haider> what does size mismatch means when i try to install any package from synaptic package manager??
[20:42] <gasull> haider: try sudo apt-get update
[20:42] <Wolfsherz> can someone tell me where to get the ubuntu lightdm theme?
[20:43] <gasull> haider: I think it means the file it's trying to install doesn't much the size it's supposed to have.
[20:44] <haider> gasull: so whats the remedy?
[20:44] <Somelauw> What is the opensource alternative to solidworks?
[20:45] <guntbert> Somelauw: what is solidworks?
[20:45] <sskalnik> Anyone knowledgeable about packaging? The official channel for that is unresponsive.
[20:45] <gasull> If I have an .iso image, that isn't a Ubuntu distro, how do I copy it to a usb that will autorun?
[20:45] <gasull> haider: sudo apt-get update
[20:45] <andyn> use unetbootin
[20:45] <Somelauw> guntbert: It is a program to draw 3d shapes of objects that can move.
[20:45] <sskalnik> gasull, so you mean you want to boot a nonUbuntu iso from a CD?
[20:45] <andyn> it can write linux .isos on usb sticks.
[20:45] <_Neytiri_> I am having a problem installing ubuntu 11.10 on my system it failed on the bootloader install
[20:45] <sskalnik> Try unetbootin
[20:45] <mario_> heelo therekernel: [5992365.461631] hub 1-3:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -110)
[20:46] <mario_> I'm having thousands of lines like
[20:46] <mario_> kernel: [5992365.461631] hub 1-3:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -110)
[20:46] <ania> _Neytiri_: what it says
[20:46] <sskalnik> _Neytiri_, normal install, or custom setup on the partitions?
[20:46] <guntbert> Somelauw: as you may have guessed already, I have no idea, sorry
[20:46] <mario_> is there any way to stop the usb subsystem?
[20:46] <_Neytiri_> custom
[20:46] <trism> Wolfsherz: the default greeter is unity-greeter https://launchpad.net/unity-greeter combined with the Ambiance theme
[20:47] <sskalnik> _Neytiri_, what is your partition layout on the disc(s)
[20:47] <Wolfsherz> any way to get that installed on xubuntu trism?
[20:47] <WanderingEnder> Is there a TERM setting I need to send in PuTTY to get screen to display characters right?
[20:48] <ania> when choose custom instal....when asking about bootloader location set ....disc name np sd ....not sda1!! for example
[20:48] <trism> Wolfsherz: sudo apt-get install unity-greeter; and change: greeter-session=unity-greeter in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[20:48] <figure002> hello! can anyone tell me if it's possible to install Debian next to Ubuntu without overwriting the GRUB (like it's possible with Ubuntu Alternate CD)?
[20:48] <Wolfsherz> thank you trism
[20:49] <_Neytiri_> sskalnik, on the first disk partition1 is /       partition 2 is swap partition 3 is /boot                      on the second disk parition 1 is /home    partition 2 is /home/user/bleh
[20:49] <Pici> figure002: That would be a better question for #debian
[20:49] <sskalnik> _Neytiri_, the bootloader likes to be on an ext3/4 filesystem at the start of the drive
[20:49] <figure002> Pici: true, will try there, thanks
[20:50] <sskalnik> _Neytiri_, put /boot as the first partition on one of the drives
[20:50] <_Neytiri_> ok
[20:50] <_Neytiri_> never had that issue on other distro's
[20:51] <sskalnik> _Neytiri_, which distros?
[20:51] <_Neytiri_> ubuntu 10.4, 10.10
[20:52] <_Neytiri_> top
[20:52] <sskalnik> _Neytiri_, Also, are you installing GRUB to the MBR, or some other configuration?
[20:52] <gasull> andyn: thanks.
[20:52] <_Neytiri_> last i checked it was grub
[20:54] <snikker> hi, i've installed grub2 (with oneiric) and now i'm unable to run windows recovery partition <F9> key at boot, can you help me?
[20:54] <grendal-prime> anyone installed ubuntu on a dell inspiron 1525
[20:55] <grendal-prime> !compaibility
[20:55] <Kovica> hi all.
[20:56] <sskalnik> Hi
[20:56] <Kovica> I have a questoin about creating an CD/DVD for an unattended installation of ubuntu/xubuntu/... that would also install one of my application which unfortunatelly is not a deb package
[20:56] <Wolfsherz> trism, did what you said, but it does not work. the screen flashes in textmode now
[20:56] <sskalnik> _Neytiri_, where is GRUB being installed?
[20:57] <sskalnik> In the MBR of the first or second drive?
[20:57] <_Neytiri_> dev/sda
[20:57] <mario_> does any one know how to stop the usb subsystem?
[20:57] <trism> Wolfsherz: can you pastebin /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[20:57] <Kovica> Is it possible to change the default installation process?
[20:58] <sskalnik> _Neytiri_, is this a new install with a blank pair of drives?
[20:58] <sskalnik> Kovica, Yes
[20:58] <_Neytiri_> yes
[20:58] <Kovica> sskalnik: Can it be changed so that I can add additional steps?
[20:58] <Wolfsherz> trism: http://pastebin.com/g6YWjJ7D
[20:58] <sskalnik> _Neytiri_, any specific need for /boot to be on /sda3?
[20:59] <_Neytiri_> no not really i changed it and took it out and just have 2 partitions
[20:59] <sskalnik> _Neytiri_, I would try it with /boot on /sda1
[20:59] <sskalnik> _Neytiri_, OK, give that a shot
[20:59] <sysdoc> Kovica, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UnattendedCD
[20:59] <sskalnik> Kovica, what would you like to add?
[21:00] <trism> Wolfsherz: looks right to me, take a look at the logs in /var/log/lightdm and see if there are any strange errors
[21:00] <sskalnik> Kovica, you can add a post/pre-install script
[21:00] <usr13> sskalnik: Why would it matter whether /boot is on the first or third partition?
[21:00] <Kovica> sskalnik,: Id for example add installation of DB2. I'd get the tar.gz from Internet, create users that DB2 needs, ...
[21:01] <_Neytiri_> grrrrrrrrrr buggy software from hell
[21:01] <sskalnik> Kovica, Yes that should be possible with a preseed and/or post-install script.
[21:01] <_Neytiri_> i love it when software crashes on me
[21:01] <usr13> _Neytiri_: What crashed?
[21:01] <_Neytiri_> the 11.10 installer
[21:02] <Kovica> sysdoc: I've tried that, but didn't get an unattended install. I got a normal install. :(
[21:02] <Kovica> sskalnik: And how would I do that?
[21:02] <axl_> hey guys, i am trying to upgrade apache2 from version 2.2.14 to 2.2.21. i did a sudo apt-get install apache2 which did not end up upgrading to that version. what is the most convenient way to do it ?
[21:02] <trism> Wolfsherz: ahh, check this out: http://askubuntu.com/questions/68234/is-it-possible-to-use-the-unity-greeter-for-lightdm-on-xubuntu-11-10 seems you need to install gnome-settings-daemon too (it is required by unity-greeter but appears not to be a dep)
[21:02] <Kovica> sskalnik: How can I then do an ISO image of the installation process?
[21:03] <Wolfsherz> trism thank you! and found a message in the log too about it
[21:03] <mikeg> so how do I make alt-tab or an equivalent respect workspaces?
[21:03] <sskalnik> _Neytiri_, have you checked the disc for defects?
[21:04] <_Neytiri_> no
[21:04] <sskalnik> _Neytiri_, if it crashes and fails to install the bootloader, it could be a bad disc
[21:04] <usr13> axl_: What version of Ubuntu do you have installed?
[21:05] <_Neytiri_> it crashed at a differetn point
[21:05] <_Neytiri_> coppying files
[21:05] <Si2100> Hey
[21:05] <axl_> usr13: I am using I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[21:05] <Sazpaimon> okay so looking at the data, it looks like the first 373 megabytes of the drive have been zeroed out
[21:06] <Sazpaimon> hopefully testdisk can restore some type of partition layout :/
[21:06] <sskalnik> Kovica, you would either remaster the CD with the preseed and postinstall script added, or just make a bootable USB installer and toss in the preseed and postinstall script.
[21:06] <usr13> axl_: I think you are already at the newest version for 10.04
[21:06] <underclock> how do I make font larger on my firefox
[21:07] <axl_> usr13: apparently the newest version is 2.2.21 and I have 2.2.14 installed
[21:07] <Kovica> sskalnik: Is sounds good, but how can I do the whole thing?
[21:07] <sskalnik> https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/installation-guide/i386/appendix-preseed.html
[21:07] <usr13> axl_: sudo apt-get upgrade apache2
[21:07] <axl_> usr13: tried that. can't specify a software after upgrade
[21:07] <sskalnik> Kovica, that would be mostly for you to determine
[21:07] <axl_> usr13: it ends up upgrading all packages
[21:08] <axl_> not sure I wan to do that
[21:08] <hilarie> how to restore my system tray? I killed my clock and off button and stuff
[21:09] <Kovica> sskalnik: I don't mean how to install DB2, I just mean how to write those preseed files, where to put them, ...?
[21:09] <sskalnik> Kovica, Basically, if you know the commands to install and set up DB2, you can toss those in the post-install script, create a preseed file that executes that post-install script after the main install of Ubuntu is done, then tell the installer to use that preseed instead of the normal install
[21:09] <sskalnik> Kovica, The preseed file goes in the /preseed folder of the ISO/USB
[21:10] <sskalnik> Kovica, the script can go anywhere. I put it in the root of the ISO or USB
[21:10] <Kovica> sskalnik: Ok, sound like a plan. would those preseed files be automatically "executed" by the installer?
[21:11] <usr13> axl_: is there something in 2.2.21 that you really need?
[21:11] <mikeg> so in 11.10 with unity, how do I make alt-tab or an equivalent respect workspaces like it used to. I want to have more than one "set" of applications open at a time?
[21:11] <Utopiah> hi #ubuntu
[21:11] <axl_> usr13: apparently 2.2.14 has some vulnerabilities
[21:11] <axl_> usr13: I want to avoid them'
[21:12] <sskalnik> Kovica, Yes, if you do this sort of thing: edit the syslinux or isolinux .cfg to have a DEFAULT of whateveryouwant, then LABEL whateveryouwant, then this:
[21:12] <sskalnik> DEFAULT microserver
[21:12] <sskalnik> LABEL microserver
[21:12] <sskalnik>   menu label ^microserver
[21:12] <sskalnik>   kernel /install/vmlinuz
[21:12] <sskalnik>   append  preseed/file=/cdrom/preseed/microserver.seed debian-installer/locale=en_US console-setup/layoutcode=us localechooser/translation/warn-light=true localechooser/translation/warn-severe=true initrd=/install/initrd.gz priority=critical ramdisk_size=16384 root=/dev/ram rw quiet --
[21:12] <FloodBot1> sskalnik: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:12] <usr13> mikeg: What do you mean?  (Alt-Tab switches windows not work-spaces)
[21:12] <sskalnik> sigh
[21:12] <mikeg> usr13: it used to switch between windows in a workspace, now it switches between windows in all workspaces.
[21:12] <sysdoc> lol
[21:13] <usr13> mikeg: Far as I know, it always did that.
[21:13] <mikeg> usr13: I like my workspaces segregated because I'll have say eclipse and ff open in 3 different workspaces but one is for web dev, one for c++, and one for reading the nets
[21:13] <mikeg> usr13: nope.
[21:13] <Kovica> sskalnik: OK, then in that preseed file I can run a plain bash script to untar gz files, create users, ....?
[21:13] <sskalnik> Kovica, here's an example preseed directive in the syslinux / isolinux cfg file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/752983/
[21:14] <mikeg> usr13: I've got 11.04 running classic desktop on my desktop and it behaves as I said, my laptop has 11.10 and it has the current behavior (which sucks for me)
[21:14] <GRMrGecko> Would this work with scalpel for extracting mysql dumps? http://p.webra.in/r
[21:14] <Kovica> sskalnik: great, thanks. Do you also have an example of preseed file?
[21:14] <sskalnik> Kovica, in that preseed file, do something like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/752985/
[21:15] <usr13> mikeg: I see that you are correct.  In gnome2 Alt-Tab would only switch between windows in one workspace.
[21:15] <sskalnik> That will copy the script from the CD or USB, then set it executable, then run it
[21:15] <Kovica> sskalnik: I understand... Are this scripts run as root?
[21:15] <usr13> mikeg: I guess that's not the way it works in Unity.
[21:15] <sskalnik> Kovica, you can do more cool stuff with a preseed, but I'll let you look all that up in the Ubuntu docs.
[21:16] <mikeg> usr13: so is there a good way to re-enable that. I like the search overlay of unity like win 7, but I don't want to shut down all non-task related firefoxes
[21:16] <sskalnik> Kovica, the script is run as root
[21:17] <Kovica> sskalnik: so this preeseed file is unintended install, right?
[21:17] <sskalnik> Kovica, Yes, it's for unattended install.
[21:17] <bekks> Kovica: unattended. not unintended ;)
[21:17] <Raweed> Ubuntu keeps crashing whenever i lock my laptops mouspad thing, has anyone else encountered this problem?
[21:17] <Kovica> bekks: ups, you a right :)
[21:18] <sskalnik> Kovica, however, it only automates what you tell it to. Thus, if you only tell it to run the post-install script, it will prompt you for everything as usual and ONLY automatically run that script.
[21:18] <usr13> mikeg: I'm not sure.  Maybe someone else knows how it can be done.
[21:18] <mario_> so USB subsystem cannot be shutdown or nobody here know is this is doable?
[21:18] <storrgie> in ubuntu 11.10 server is there newer kernels available than the 3.0.0-13 ?
[21:19] <mikeg> usr13: guess I'll ask again then
[21:19] <sskalnik> Kovica, you can also use preseed to automate everything though. I use it so that I can plug in a USB drive, reboot, and come back in ten minutes and just remove the drive and hit "OK, reboot into my fresh install" :D
[21:19] <Kovica> sskalnik: aha. So If I tell it to use slovene keyboard layout, create tux user and run post-install script, then the installer will still ask me about the partition I want ubuntu to install insto, right?
[21:20] <sskalnik> Kovica, You got it!
[21:20] <mario_> storrgie: the only package I see is <IP_ADDRESS>.15
[21:20] <Kovica> sskalnik: hehe.. fast learner :) I'll see tomorrow :)
[21:21] <mikeg> so in 11.10 with unity, how do I make alt-tab or an equivalent respect workspaces like it used to in 11.04 classic and regular before. I often have different workspaces for different tasks, eg Java development, general browsing, C++ development. In these workspaces I have Eclipse, Terminal, and Firefox usually. I used to be able to alt-tab just between the apps in the workspace, now it goes through ALL of the apps in ALL workspaces. How can I change it
[21:21] <mikeg>  back? It seems workspaces are pretty much useless at the moment on a laptop doing everything full screen.
[21:21] <sskalnik> Kovica, check out the Ubuntu docs for preseed. There are also preseed example files that you might find useful as a template
[21:21] <usr13> mikeg: Here is a discussion about the use of Alt-Tab in Unity: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1720998
[21:22] <Kovica> sskalnik: I've found susestudio.com where you create your installation of SUSE. It is simple to use, but I'd like to use ubuntu instead since I'd been a ubuntu user for couple of years..
[21:23] <TeamFDcoAdmin> Hello. I recently upgraded Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10. Now i have a lot of boot enteries in the grub2 boot loader and when i boit some kernels the PC freezes after some minutes.. can i remove the old kernels? If yes, how. Thanx.
[21:23] <Kovica> sskalnik: it uses KIWI behind it. The page says that KIWI is distribution-agnostic, but there are no docs about other distributions beind used instead SUSE.
[21:23] <sskalnik> Kovica, yeah, preseed is very much a manual thing, but it is worth it. Hit me up on the forums as djsephiroth if you need any preseed help.
[21:24] <guntbert> TeamFDcoAdmin: use your favourite software manager to remove them
[21:24] <mikeg> usr13: yeah, I tried that. didn't work that well. I'll try again but it still seems pretty broken. Why are workspaces even there if this is how it's going to work?
[21:24] <sskalnik> Kovica, sounds like it should be agnostic in theory, but you know what they say about theory and practice
[21:24] <Kovica> sskalnik: yes. :)
[21:24] <TeamFDcoAdmin> guntbert, Can I use synaptic package manager? Can it damage my system...?
[21:25] <Kovica> sskalnik: Ok, thanks for now. Let me try a few things and I'll find you somewhere if I need some more help. Thanks a lot.
[21:25] <usr13> mikeg: Was just checking and xfce confines Alt-Tab to windows in current workspace too.
[21:25] <guntbert> TeamFDcoAdmin: yes you can use synaptic, and no it will not damage your system, if you only remove old kernels
[21:25] <craigbass1976> Perhaps a dumb question, but is there a way to send faxes without a modem?
[21:26] <AndroidLoverInSF> is there a way to trigger the unity menu via remote vnc client? when i move mouse to left it doesn't trigger. i can only use mouse to right click and open terminal windows
[21:26] <usr13> craigbass1976: faxfree
[21:26] <TeamFDcoAdmin> guntbert, Oh okay thanks for yer help.
[21:26] <sskalnik> Kovica, you are welcome!
[21:26] <GRMrGecko> If anyone can respond to me about this http://p.webra.in/r that'll be good
[21:26] <usr13> craigbass1976: Typo, it's faxzero   faxzero.com
[21:26] <guntbert> TeamFDcoAdmin: in synaptic do a "quicksearch" for linux-image, then remove the oldest entries
[21:27] <mikeg> usr13: urg, that's great and all but I actually like a lot of what unity does like the search to launch. it saves a lot of space. Why can't it just allow easy return to the previous behavior?
[21:27] <TeamFDcoAdmin> guntbert, it also created a second entery for windows 7 how can i remove this one?
[21:28] <guntbert> TeamFDcoAdmin: not sure here, sorry
[21:28] <usr13> mikeg: What is "search to launch"?
[21:28] <trism> mikeg: this will apparently be the behavior in precise, https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/863399 (according to the comments at the end)
[21:28] <mikeg> usr13: super key, type fire, enter
[21:28] <n2diy> Ok, I've been using linux for ten years, and it just occurred to me, that I don't know how to write a simple "Hello World" program!? In the old days I'd use Qbasic, but what do I use now, Bash?
[21:28] <TeamFDcoAdmin> guntbert, okay i think ill manage to edit the grub config file but thank you for your help with the kernels.
[21:29] <jrib> n2diy: use whatever you want :)
[21:29] <usr13> mikeg: I think that is just a hot-key assignment. Right?
[21:29] <billybob3> @n2diy: python
[21:29] <guntbert> TeamFDcoAdmin: you're welcome :-) do you have grub1 or grub2?
[21:29] <dr3mro> hello , I use ubuntu 11.10 with unity .. every thing is gr8 but i need to lock my screen when i am away .. i don't know how .. and my screen settings lock are greyed out can any one help me http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/2243/screenshotat20111128232.jpg
[21:29] <usr13> mikeg: .... same as Alt-F2  ?
[21:29] <craigbass1976> usr13, ahh.  I was thinking something I could install.  Nothing?  I don't see anything in the repos yet
[21:29] <mikeg> usr13: not sure. reading
[21:29] <TeamFDcoAdmin> guntbert, grub2
[21:30] <n2diy> billybob3, ok, thanks.
[21:30] <usr13> craigbass1976: You could install a modem.
[21:30] <mikeg> usr13: yeah alt-f2 is search to me :)
[21:30] <TeamFDcoAdmin> guntbert, Oh nevermind about the Windows 7 thing i found this app called Grub customizer to edit the enteries of grub2 or BURG... i think that worked.
[21:31] <guntbert> TeamFDcoAdmin: then editing /boot/grub/grub.conf  is not really adviseable; changes are made to /etc/default/grub
[21:31] <Snorlax> I'm having some serious software center problems, am I in the right channel for some help?
[21:31] <usr13> craigbass1976: Why not just use a modem?
[21:31] <craigbass1976> usr13, I'm not running a phone line out here.
[21:31] <TeamFDcoAdmin> guntbert, Yep. That solved my problem...
[21:32] <TeamFDcoAdmin> guntbert, Thanks anyway.
[21:32] <usr13> craigbass1976: Ok, well there are some VOIP solutions that support fax.
[21:32] <guntbert> TeamFDcoAdmin: :)
[21:32] <guntbert> Snorlax: yes, just ask your real question please
[21:33] <craigbass1976> usr13, We have a brother mfc-7840W, but it doesn't support faxing via the network in Linux.  I could quietly take a hammer to this one...  Then I've just got to research linux friendly all-in-one rigs
[21:33] <Snorlax> I'm getting the error "The package libbonobo2-common needs to be reinstalled" Whenever I try installing anything through Terminal. Software center is broken for me and won't launch after many restarts
[21:34] <usr13> craigbass1976: A fax machine without a phone line is not useful.
[21:34] <guntbert> Snorlax: begin with sudo apt-get update
[21:35] <usr13> craigbass1976: But you can just scan your document, convert to .pdf and use faxzero.
[21:35] <craigbass1976> usr13, the fax machine is plugged into a phone line, it's just in another room.
[21:35] <tommylommykins> What's the proper way to make a change to my path variable permanent?
[21:35] <usr13> craigbass1976: you can't move it?
[21:35] <Snorlax> guntbert: Will do and report back, thanks!
[21:36] <guntbert> Snorlax: no problem :)   -- I am off though - Good luck :-)
[21:37] <tommylommykins> What's the proper way to make a change to my path variable permanent?
[21:37] <usr13> tommylommykins: PATH=$PATH\:/dir/path ; export PATH
[21:37] <teddie> .bashrc
[21:37] <tommylommykins> WHich one?
[21:38] <Kovica> sskalnik: It is me again. :) I'm looking at the ISO file ob ubuntu 11.10 desktop. You've said I should edit isolinux/isolinux.cfg to add the DEFAULT ... LABEL... menu... lines. I've similar lines in isolinux/txt.cfg. Is this the file I should change?
[21:39] <teddie> tommylommykins, put usr13's commands into .bashrc
[21:39] <sskalnik> Kovica, you want to edit the isolinux.cfg file
[21:40]  * tommylommykins grumbles
[21:40] <tommylommykins> I did not get an answer
[21:40] <oneironaut> hi, can anybody help me with my fail2ban config?
[21:40] <tommylommykins> Is there one canonical way to export the path variable
[21:40] <tommylommykins> ?
[21:41] <Kovica> sskalnik: and add those lines?
[21:41] <BarkingFish> tommylommykins: follow what usr13 posted above, that will do it for you.
[21:42] <tommylommykins> Thanks :)
[21:42] <sskalnik> Kovica, yes, except you may want to change the name of the preseed file to something else. Also, you may want to alter the other settings passed to the kernel if you want another keyboard layout, for example
[21:42] <BarkingFish> any changes you make to the path are usually permanent anyhow
[21:42] <oneironaut> I've added this http://pastebin.com/UKLj6rSg to my jail.local and created this (http://pastebin.com/qTdgkqhL) get-http-dos.conf in /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/ but my get-http-dos is not working
[21:43] <oneironaut> can anyone help me pleeeese?  ;)
[21:43] <sskalnik> Kovica, my example uses standard US keyboard and so on
[21:43] <usr13> tommylommykins: You can add a stansa to .profile
[21:43] <kierkkadon> How do I ssh tunnel in ubuntu?
[21:43] <gskellig> not sure where to ask this, I'm trying to ssh to an ubuntu server but the public wifi I'm on is blocking it
[21:43] <Kovica> sskalnik, yes I understand that, I just find isolinux.cfg a bit strange, but you are the expert :)
[21:43] <gskellig> kierkkadon: "ssh <ip address>"
[21:43] <gskellig> or "ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[21:44] <Benkinooby> hi, why do i need sodu rights for iwlist [interface] scanning? what harm can be done with allwoing ot for normal users?
[21:44] <Kovica> sskalnik, since my isolinux.cfg looks like http://paste.ubuntu.com/753009/
[21:44] <sskalnik> Kovica, I'm kind of a noob, but thanks!
[21:45] <jrib> !away > sysadamin|away
[21:45] <kierkkadon> How can I find out the IP address of a website?
[21:45] <Kovica> sskalnik, and txt.cfg looks like http://paste.ubuntu.com/753013/
[21:46] <sskalnik> Kovica, yeah, that is what mine originally looked like
[21:46] <Gentoo64> kierkkadon: ping it
[21:46] <bekks> kierkkadon: Why do you need it? :)
[21:46] <jrib> kierkkadon: host
[21:46] <Kovica> sskalnik, so you are saying I should delete everything that is in isolinux.cfg and past your lines in?
[21:46] <honschu> Is this correct enlish?  "For XX=123 its function bla() needs correct count and type of arguments" oder do I have to write "types"?
[21:46] <kierkkadon> bekks, A site isn't working on my network; I know the site is fine because I can access it on cell phone 3g
[21:47] <jrib> !ot | honschu
[21:47] <Gentoo64> kierkkadon: theres lots of ways.. but if you ping the address itll show the ip
[21:47] <sskalnik> Kovica, this is what mine now looks like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/753017/
[21:48] <Kovica> sskalnik, aha...
[21:48] <zulunite>  /quit
[21:48] <sskalnik> Kovica: All you really need to change is the default, and then add a label with the same name. This will make "Your Custom Install Option" the default instead of "Install Ubuntu"
[21:49] <snikker> hi, i've installed grub2 (with oneiric) and now i'm unable to run windows recovery partition <F9> key at boot, can you help me?
[21:49] <Kovica> sskalnik, yes, I figured that part out. :
[21:49] <Kovica> sskalnik, yes, I figured that part out. :)
[21:49] <sskalnik> Kovica, of course. ;)
[21:49] <sskalnik> Kovica, you might look at the other preseed files in that preseed directory to see what they do
[21:50] <sskalnik> Kovica, But yeah, pasting in my lines over the defaults will get you what you want
[21:50] <Kovica> sskalnik, now for anouther problem... "kernel /install/vmlinuz".. there is no /install/vmlinux in my ISO
[21:50] <sskalnik> Kovica, Unless you want, say, a Slovak keyboard or something
[21:50] <SPELINAX> SPANISH
[21:50] <Kovica> sskalnik, but there is /casper/vmlinuz
[21:51] <usr13> !es | SPELINAX
[21:51] <sskalnik> Kovica, Sorry, I pasted that from a USB installer.
[21:52] <sskalnik> Kovica, some details may be different. I was using a USB installer for Server 10.04
[21:52] <Gentoo64> snikker: try pressing f9 instantly after pressing enter when choosing windows in grub
[21:52] <Kovica> sskalnik, ok.. :) I'll try to modified it.. I just need to do a POC and then I'll be ok..
[21:53] <Kovica> sskalnik, can yor bear with me for a coupl of minutes more?
[21:53] <truefx> how to change emblem size in ubuntu ?
[21:53] <truefx> they are gigantic in compact view
[21:54] <snikker> Gentoo64: in this way i've got only windows 7 menu entry... no recovery
[21:54] <Gentoo64> snikker: im not sure
[21:54] <skiski> okay so my friend pointed me to this chat thing ...what is it?
[21:54] <sskalnik> Kovica, Certainly
[21:54] <Gentoo64> snikker: sorry
[21:55] <sskalnik> skiski, It's your source for Ubuntu wisdom -w-
[21:55] <snikker> Gentoo64: i've got windwos 7 entry, and "windows memory diagnostic" (but doesn't work, it hang the pc)
[21:56] <Gentoo64> snikker: im really not sure about the recovery partition
[21:56] <Gentoo64> or ahetevr it is
[21:56] <skiski> this is actually my first week using this system * sskalnik*
[21:56] <snikker> Gentoo64: ok, thanks
[21:56] <Gentoo64> snikker: maybe people in ##windows might know more
[21:57] <Gentoo64> or maybe you need to add it to grub, but i dont know anything about it
[21:57] <snikker> Gentoo64: ok, thansk i'll ask there
[21:57] <skiski> *sskalnik* so whats so amazing about this system?
[21:59] <sskalnik> skiski, It's the first Linux/GNU distro to gain mainstream traction and be useable by normal folk.
[21:59] <sskalnik> skiski, IMHO and all that
[21:59] <Kovica> sskalnik, now I have an ISO changed like you said. I guess the ds.sh is the last thig that will get executed during installation, right?
[21:59] <kierkkadon> If I want to ssh tunnel, do I need a server that I can access, or can I use ssh to directly access websites?
[21:59] <Kovica> sskalnik, is it also possible to ask for some input from the user during installation?
[22:00] <jrib> kierkkadon: what do you want to accomplish?
[22:00] <sskalnik> Kovica, Yes. You can name it whatever you like, of course. "ds" originally stood for something, but I shortened it since the late-install command can only be so long
[22:00] <franksouza1831> Hello
[22:01] <skiski> ahh going from windows to this is confusing a bit
[22:01] <kierkkadon> jrib, A website doesn't work on the semi-public network I'm on. I suspect it's some kind of firewall; I would just like to privately access the website
[22:01] <sskalnik> Kovica, that may be difficult during the installation. afaik, you'd need to modify the debian installer to make it ask new questions.
[22:02] <jrib> kierkkadon: sure just ssh to a computer outside your network.  If you connect like this: ssh -D 1080 ssh.server.com, then you will have a socks proxy at port 1080 that you can point your firefox to
[22:02] <sskalnik> Kovica, a workaround would be to have the late-command script add a cron job or something to prompt the user at first login and continue setting things up.
[22:03] <Kovica> sskalnik, is changing debin installed hard?
[22:03] <Rask> Hey everyone... I've got a machine running Ubuntu Server, and I want to use its sound card to play audio, but I'm having some trouble getting ALSA to work.  `cat /proc/asound/cards` seems to suggest a driver is there, but `aplay -l` says no sound cards found.  Anyone have any ideas what I'm missing? :)
[22:03] <sskalnik> skiski, Yes it is very different. It's cool if you are the sort of person who likes to take apart things to figure out how they work. Otherwise it can be a bit hard to get used to, but it is worth it if you plan on doing any serious computer-y business.
[22:03] <Kovica> sskalnik, I didn't know you can add a cron job that would get executed only at first login.
[22:04] <sskalnik> Kovica, "or something" ;)
[22:04] <CharminTheMoose> How can I set up another X server on a local machine without it complaining about my current X session? Want to test a few window managers
[22:04] <sskalnik> Kovica, I've never taken that step, but I have heard of people doing it.
[22:05] <BluesKaj> BBL, stuff to do
[22:05] <Kovica> sskalnik, hmm.. the iso did boot, but I got busybox console, not the installation
[22:05] <jrib> CharminTheMoose: startx -- :1    (you probably want to read man page to see how you can pass custom xinitrc file location)
[22:06] <jrib> CharminTheMoose: you could also be interested in xnest
[22:06] <skiski> i still have windows on my laptop, im actually a client (on boyfriends desktop) trying to get me to switch
[22:06] <Rask> gack, nevermind.
[22:07] <Rask> thanks anyway
[22:07] <CharminTheMoose> jrib, ah yes, I see what you mean.
[22:07] <sskalnik> Kovica, for scripts at login, check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto
[22:07] <CharminTheMoose> Hmm yeah, I might give xnest a shot..
[22:07]  * CharminTheMoose gets a searchin'
[22:07] <sskalnik> Kovica, what do you see on the screen?
[22:07] <RidDrib> how can create a daemon linux?
[22:08] <fekfhwegh> hi, what's up with opera/flash? I want to install opera and I need to uninstall flash according to software center...
[22:08] <Kovica> sskalnik, a bunch of boot messages, then "Busybox v1.18.4 (Ubutn u1:1.18.4-2ubuntu2) built-in shell (ash)"
[22:08] <sskalnik> Kovica, you may need to alter some of the isolinux.cfg file
[22:09] <Kovica> sskalnik, "Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands"
[22:09] <celord> hello all I'am having problems installing the nvidia drivers on my ubuntu 11.10 with a Quadro 1000M could this affect ubuntu also ? https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39330
[22:09] <sskalnik> Kovica, what I pasted is from a 10.04 USB installer, so you may need to use different parameters (check the other preseeds that came with the CD)
[22:10] <sskalnik> brb
[22:12] <Timewarper> HEY
[22:12] <Timewarper> How can i install virtualbox (the closed source version) in ubuntu?
[22:13] <ralpieboy> whats a good channel for hippie stuff?
[22:13] <trism> Timewarper: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[22:15] <OneByte>  OneByte
[22:16] <hasufell> any1 tried latest gtk-gui for virtualbox?
[22:16] <fekfhwegh> Timewarper: just add the virtualbox repository, instructions are on their website, trism has linked it
[22:17] <Timewarper> fekfhwegh, if i just get the ubuntu 10.10 deb
[22:17] <Timewarper> wont that be enough?
[22:17] <Gentoo64> Timewarper: ubuntu has vbox in the repos
[22:17] <fekfhwegh> It will if you are using 10.10
[22:17] <Timewarper> Gentoo64, that is the opensource version
[22:18] <Gentoo64> Timewarper: i use both the open and closed source on different comps, theyre the same to me :s
[22:18] <fekfhwegh> Does anyone know why the Opera package causes flash to uninstall
[22:18] <Gentoo64> i think the open source you have to install extensions manually
[22:18] <yeats> Timewarper: it's easier to just add the repo so you get updates (IMHO)
[22:19] <fekfhwegh> I agree with yeats
[22:19] <Xelmep> i need help about Counter strike 1.2 server on Ubuntu 10.04 server Please ???

[22:19] <Timewarper> yeats, does the repo offer the closed source version?
[22:19] <Timewarper> if i add it
[22:19] <Gentoo64> hasufell: ?

[22:21] <thomasg> hi. how can I kill kdm/gdm on an upstart based ubuntu system?
[22:22] <thomasg> or better: kill X completely
[22:22] <hasufell> thomasg: stop the service
[22:22] <hasufell> "killall X"
[22:22] <XelmepAWAY> i need help about Counter strike 1.2 server on Ubuntu 10.04 server Please ???
[22:22] <yeats> thomasg: 'sudo service kdm restart' (for example)
[22:22] <thomasg> doess killall X work? usually kdm keeps the display alive
[22:22] <hasufell> /etc/init.d/kdm stop
[22:22] <thomasg> yeats: service kdm stop should kill it, right?
