[00:00] <ixxu> urlin2u, ofc it's still there but i can't find the active process
[00:00] <urlin2u> ixxu, look in the side panel, and check this link  http://www.webupd8.org/2011/02/unity-systray-is-back-themable-top.html
[00:00] <urlin2u> ixxu, click on it in the panel things are different in unity.
[00:01] <ixxu> urlin2u, it isn't in the sidepannel, i'll check your link
[00:02] <shaun413> if i check something in compiz either the top bar goes all wierd or i loose everthing off the screen
[00:03] <urlin2u> ixxu, I find the same problem your having on a web search.
[00:03] <shaun413> can anyone help?
[00:04] <ixxu> urlin2u, i didn't post and only searched for common problem currently i'm reading your link
[00:04] <ixxu> urlin2u, i found that link http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/easily-configure-ubuntus-unity-interface-confity-linux/ but wasn't sure if that fits for me
[00:05] <shaun413> i really want some efeects can someone help me
[00:05] <ikonia> what effects do you want
[00:06] <shaun413> idk anytihng
[00:06] <ikonia> then you don't want anything
[00:06] <ikonia> if you don't know what you want, you don't know what you're missing
[00:06] <shaun413> i want all the effects
[00:06] <ikonia> all what effects ?
[00:06] <worldwalker> I'm having an issue installing new packages, and I keep getting an error related to 'aptdaemon,' is this the right chan for that question?
[00:06] <shaun413> the wobbly the fire
[00:06] <ikonia> if you don't even know whats there how can you say I want them all
[00:07] <shaun413> rotating cube thing
[00:07] <ikonia> shaun413: then you need to look into compiz
[00:07] <shaun413> i have it
[00:07] <shaun413> it crashes untiy whe i use it
[00:07] <ikonia> shaun413: what's the issue then ?
[00:07] <ikonia> shaun413: not uncommon
[00:07] <gentoo-intel> shaun413, kubuntu has more effects
[00:08] <ikonia> it doesn't
[00:08] <gentoo-intel> shaun413, i think youll get bored of them all after like 1 minute though
[00:08] <gentoo-intel> so tacky
[00:08] <ikonia> it has a different engine, they are pretty much the same in terms of effects number
[00:08] <sweetandy> I disable every possible effect. It's cute, but completely worthless.
[00:08] <shaun413> ok\
[00:08] <shaun413> wee then what about prorams?
[00:09] <gentoo-intel> shaun413, you have to know what you want
[00:09] <gentoo-intel> no one can tell you random stuff to install
[00:09] <shaun413> graphics and science
[00:09] <ixxu> urlin2u, in you link there is written something about the unity launcher, where should i find it ?
[00:09] <urlin2u> shaun413, you might try try #compiz  trying to get a hand hold through compiz is not really gonna happen to be honest.
[00:10] <worldwalker> So, when I'm in the ubuntu software center and I try to install a program, I get a "an unhandleable error occured" message
[00:10] <gentoo-intel> shaun413, gimp is an image editor, blender does 3d stuff
[00:10] <shaun413> yes i know
[00:10] <mrdeb> gentoo-intel: is gentoo good
[00:10] <gentoo-intel> of course
[00:10] <worldwalker> Which is referring to "a programming error in aptdaemon"
[00:11] <worldwalker> and since I'm a bit of a newb to ubuntu/linux I'm not quite sure where to go from here
[00:11] <RvPup> trying to install puppy linux (frugal) but im told that ubuntus grub doesnt play well with others ...?
[00:11] <shaun413> ok so what sciency programs?
[00:11] <urlin2u> ixxu, the left side panel is the unity launcher
[00:11] <ikonia> RvPup: who told you that
[00:11] <dr_willis> worldwalker:  is this a new install?
[00:11] <Luig1> Is there a way (in bash) to call an arbitrary program X times?
[00:11] <RvPup> puppy irc
[00:11] <worldwalker> dr_willis yes
[00:11] <ikonia> RvPup: I don't see them telling you that
[00:11] <worldwalker> I've only installed a few things so far
[00:11] <urlin2u> fermulator, you get the pm info?
[00:11] <gentoo-intel> shaun413, sciency as in what?
[00:11] <ixxu> urlin2u, they are showing a config interface fort that, that what i am looking for
[00:12] <RvPup> something about grub 1 and 2 ??? not sure what they meant
[00:12] <shaun413> idk just cool programs
[00:12] <dr_willis> worldwalker:  from a terminal you may want to do a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-upgrade' that should update everything and may fix any known bugs/issues you are experienceing
[00:12] <worldwalker> Ok I'll give it a shot, thanks
[00:12] <ikonia> RvPup: there is an issue in the way ubuntu uses grub2, it's config files are held in /etc on the ubuntu disk, which means updates to puppy won't be able to touch the grub config, however as puppy is quite static I don't see this as a problem
[00:12] <urlin2u> ixxu, this is not an area I can really advise in other then give links and hope you will figure it out.
[00:13] <RvPup> i just got ubuntu 10.10 installed thanks to shaunlewis expert advice ....now am trying to add puppy to the mix
[00:13] <ixxu> urlin2u, ok thanks a lot anyway you helped me :)
[00:13] <shaun413> where is everyone getting 10.10?
[00:13] <moymoy> Anyone not idle?
[00:14] <urlin2u> ixxu, sometimes all we can do is point and say wow look at that. :D
[00:14] <shaun413> 10.04 is the newest isnt it?
[00:14] <worldwalker> dr_willis: I'm still getting the same issue
[00:14] <fermulator> urlin2u: yes thanks, sorry afk once in a while :-0
[00:14] <worldwalker> The only bit from the 'details' that looks familiar is the ttf-mscorefonts-installer
[00:15] <shaun413> isnt 10.04 the newest?
[00:15] <ixxu> urlin2u, yeah i understand, i read a lot of text in the last 10hours ;-)
[00:15] <zachk> 11.04 perhaps
[00:15] <ciy4ent> 11.04
[00:15] <worldwalker> I remember seeing an error earlier about that when i was trying to install some proprietary stuff
[00:15] <terr_> shaun413: I found it in the ubuntu web site.  Its there.  I just couldn't get the USB formatted and loaded properly and I know how dd works!  and the boot loaders.
[00:15] <glamorblue> hi
[00:15] <urlin2u> shaun413, http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/
[00:15] <shaun413> i have 10.04
[00:15] <worldwalker> dr_willis any thoughts?
[00:15] <gentoo-intel> shaun413, 10.04 is fine
[00:16] <ellogovern> need a little help
[00:16] <gentoo-intel> its an lts too
[00:16] <shaun413> i just got it today though
[00:16] <moymoy> Anyone know how to "add/subtract to/from path" like you can do with selections (in GIMP)?
[00:16] <shaun413> and there is a 10.10??
[00:16] <RvPup> so i can just use puppys installer and ubuntu wont care what i do ?
[00:16] <urlin2u> shaun413, 10.04 is the longterm support the highr the number the newer the release.
[00:16] <shaun413> i want the new one
[00:16] <ikonia> RvPup: yes, just make sure you know which OS's grub you are using
[00:16] <shaunlewis> shaun413, 10.10 is currently beta, and therefore not recommended for general use unless you know what you are doing
[00:16] <shaun413> oh
[00:16] <shaun413> ok then
[00:16] <shaunlewis> 10.04 is the latest
[00:16] <Pici> shaunlewis: No. 10.10 is not beta.
[00:17] <shaun413> what about 10.5
[00:17] <urlin2u> shaun413, http://www.ubuntu.com/
[00:17] <worldwalker> Any thoughts on a aptdaemon error? Sorry to keep asking
[00:17] <Kainore> aint 11.04 out ?
[00:17] <RvPup> 11.04 is the lateset but it wont connect my wire less so i grabbed an old copy of 10.10 i had
[00:17] <ikonia> 11.04 is the current ubuntu release
[00:17] <Pici> shaun413, shaunlewis: Ubuntu release numbers are named for the YEAR.MONTH of release, and we release every 6 months.
[00:17] <gentoo-intel> shaun413, ubuntu goes 04 then 10
[00:17] <urlin2u> shaunlewis, your incorrect in several areas there.
[00:17] <terr_> shaun413: I have a dead machine which looks like won't post and I'm tyring to get the old IDE drive on a PI 200 mHz and do a CLI install - which should work just fine!
[00:17] <shaunlewis> my appologises, 11.10
[00:18] <shaun413> so 10.4 is newer?
[00:18] <urlin2u> shaunlewis, 11.10 is in development 11.04 is the latest , 10.04 was the last long term. :D
[00:18] <Pici> !LTS
[00:18] <shaun413> i mean 11.4
[00:18] <moymoy> Anyone know how to "add/subtract to/from path" like you can do with selections (in GIMP)?
[00:18] <shaun413> i have 11.4
[00:19] <urlin2u> shaun413, yes 11.04 is the latest but not a LTS
[00:19] <shaun413> ok
[00:19] <urlin2u> terr_, to low of a cpu for ubuntu.
[00:19] <worldwalker> Can someone give me a hand with an 'aptdaemon' error?
[00:20] <urlin2u> worldwalker, we ask for the erroes in a pastebin.
[00:20] <urlin2u> errors*
[00:21] <worldwalker> ok. (what is a pastebin, sorry X| )
[00:21] <terr_> urlin2u: not for CLI linux that I know of.  I just need to get the HDD bootable and use Rsync
[00:21] <urlin2u> terr_, p1 200mhz?
[00:21] <urlin2u> terr_, a cli only good luck.
[00:22] <terr_> urlin2u: it runs.  Old as the hills.
[00:22] <terr_> urlin2u: the athalon 2300+ died!
[00:22] <urlin2u> terr_, I would run puppy linux.
[00:23] <terr_> urlin2u: I jsut want to get a boot sector onto the HDD  plus the os
[00:23] <worldwalker> urlin2u: Aptdaemon error: http://pastebin.com/s7hFKrJb
[00:23] <worldwalker> I get it whenever I try to install something from the ubuntu software center
[00:23] <terr_> urlin2u: I guess the other option for that puter is recycling
[00:25] <urlin2u> worldwalker, several ideas here I would go to synaptic look in the broken package filter.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1610154
[00:26] <alazare619> whats the terminal command to remove a folder its not rm...
[00:26] <urlin2u> terr_, I'm used to a desktop, so I roll that way.
[00:26] <urlin2u> alazare619, what is the folder?
[00:27] <terr_> urlin2u: I am too.  I want to u/g this desktop but I want to test the replacement 1st
[00:27] <forrestv> anybody know how i can make grub not wait indefinitely on startup?
[00:27] <forrestv> i don't have a keyboard to press enter with
[00:28] <ixxu> urlin2u, compiz config from the ubuntu packages helped me, now i can config the panel... at all a nice feature but no solve ;D
[00:28] <alazare619> hsper_root
[00:28] <gentoo-intel> forrestv, it should be like 10 secs, or 30
[00:29] <terr_> Nuther problem.    Says I have to register with freenode.  I have.  I get a cryptic message:  Cannot send to Channel.  Like I must register.  Well I have been registered for like over 5 years
[00:29] <urlin2u> forrestv, you may need to run a sudo update-grub  look at this link.  http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-the-grub-menu-timeout-on-ubuntu/
[00:30] <urlin2u> ixxu, I think filezilla is not minimizing correctly in Unity is what I have seem=n on the web search
[00:30] <ixxu> urlin2u, yeah propably
[00:30] <urlin2u> seen*
[00:30] <shaunlewis> alazare619, rm -r <dir> will delete the directory and all non-write protected files under it, so be careful!
[00:30] <alazare619> its in /tmp
[00:30] <alazare619> i just counldnt remember the command off hand
[00:31] <xsznix> y demented
[00:31] <ixxu> urlin2u, where is the best place to report bugs for ubuntu ?
[00:31] <urlin2u> ixxu, launchpad, you just need to get a account.
[00:31] <xangua> ixxu: launchpad
[00:31] <ixxu> thanks
[00:33] <ixxu> is it possible to learn firefox to go back on the "backspace" button it's probably working in nautilus
[00:34] <ixxu> nautilus-open-terminal is always closed on the next restart of it, is there a way to get it stable ?
[00:35] <moymoy> Anyone know how to "add/subtract to/from path" like you can do with selections (in GIMP)?
[00:37] <zykotick9> terr_, do you see "-NickServ- You are now identified for terr" when you first connect?
[00:37] <zykotick9> ixxu, what do you mean "n-o-t is always closed on the next restart"?  When you right click in nautilus you don't see "open in terminal"?
[00:39] <ixxu> zykotick9, i did never see this... i missed that function i tried with suse before ubuntu
[00:40] <knightvoid> anyone familiar with compiz, help me get it to work
[00:40] <ixxu> zykotick9, after installing the nautilius-open-terminal the terminal was in included in the "explorer" upper half was terminal, lower half was file explorer
[00:40] <zykotick9> ixxu, did you install the nautilus-open-terminal?
[00:40] <ixxu> zykotick9, yes
[00:40] <terr_> zykotick9: yes.  I also can type in /msg nickserv identify blah.  Works
[00:41] <zykotick9> ixxu, sorry, i've never seen nautilus-open-terminal as embedded, it's always opened a new terminal window for me?
[00:41] <zykotick9> terr_, ask in #freenode perhaps?
[00:41] <aeon-ltd> knightvoid: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/InstallingCompiz also ask in #compiz for more help (but ubuntu specific ask here)
[00:41] <ixxu> zykotick9, i'll reinstall and take a screenshot
[00:42] <terr_> zykotick9: hey thanks.  But can you post a message to the python ppl.  I'm looking for a one page cheat sheet
[00:42] <zykotick9> terr_, you'll have to post for yourself, I don't want to try to relay for you.  Good luck.
[00:43] <ixxu> zykotick9, now it's working fine... lol... thanks anyway
[00:43] <terr_> zykotick9: I'm blocked!  I can't!
[00:43] <zykotick9> ixxu, glad it's working.
[00:43] <zykotick9> terr_, so ask in #freenode then
[00:43] <ixxu> i was happy about the embedded one... now it's gone
[00:43] <ixxu> ^^
[00:44] <zykotick9> ixxu, i don't ever remember seeing it embedded, perhaps it wasn't n-o-t but something else that did that?
[00:44] <ixxu> zykotick9, i restarted nautilus now it's embedded again
[00:45] <ixxu> zykotick9, not something that i installed
[00:45] <zykotick9> ixxu, i've used n-o-t for years and never seen that behaviour?  strange, well glad it's working for ya.
[00:46] <ixxu> zykotick9, http://i52.tinypic.com/4hy3o2.jpg that's how it looks until next restart
[00:47] <zykotick9> ixxu, that's kinda neat, never seen that before.
[00:48] <ixxu> zykotick9, yeah dunno would be ok for me as long it's running stable ^^
[00:48] <OerHeks> ixxu looks like nautilus-terminal >> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nautilus-terminal-an-integrated-terminal-for-nautilus.html
[00:48] <zykotick9> ixxu, i don't think that stable has anything do to with Ubuntu ;)
[00:51] <ixxu> OerHeks, you are right, just wondering why it always apperas when i install the nautilus-open-terminal
[00:51] <ixxu> OerHeks, not a good idea to run both of them at the same time ?
[00:51] <ixxu> zykotick9, better said constant :p
[00:51] <OerHeks> no problem, you can open as many terminals as you like
[00:52] <ixxu> but than one of the packages stops working for me
[00:52] <ixxu> i'll see and report
[00:56] <kasi> how can I hide the top panel in unity? I can set the opaqueness value, but I can't set it to hide
[00:56] <kasi> I would like to hide it like the launcher panel on the side
[00:58] <ixxu> kasi, try to get compiz via the packages there you find a tool for the unity
[00:58] <kasi> ixxu, I have ccsm installed
[00:58] <kasi> I didn't find the option in unity to hide the top panel
[00:59] <urlin2u> kasi, you can't
[00:59] <kasi> urlin2u, so I have to use classic then?
[00:59] <urlin2u> kasi, if you want to hide the top panel yes.
[01:00] <kasi> urlin2u, tx
[01:01] <trevs> join #riak
[01:04] <Guest55905> quit
[01:16] <schwiz2010> can anyone help me add the include files to my system path for c++?  I am trying to use a command like "find /usr/include/ -type d -printf ":%p"" in my .bashrc but I get "No such file or directory" when I try to save it to a viaribale
[01:16] <poolbeck> hey, just upgraded to 11.10. worse linux experience in my life, sorry
[01:16] <zewm> Why?
[01:16] <bazhang> poolbeck, #ubuntu+1 for that
[01:16] <xangua> poolbeck: don't upgrade to a beta release next time then...
[01:16] <poolbeck> nothing but crashes
[01:17] <milamber> schwiz2010: what c++ files?
[01:17] <poolbeck> panel crash, compiz crash, unity crash
[01:17] <crimsonmane> i have on this computer windows7, ubuntu10.04, and ubuntu current beta. how can i see which partition contains what so that I can use GParted to remove all but the current beta?
[01:17] <poolbeck> never seen anything like it!
[01:17] <xangua> poolbeck: stop that please
[01:17] <bazhang> poolbeck, this is not the correct channel for 11.10
[01:18] <schwiz2010> milamber the include files needed to use standard library stuff stdexcept, iostream, etc
[01:18] <poolbeck> sorry, not meant to be negative, its just my experience of beta
[01:18] <Vesuven> Is there anyway to make my Ubuntu partition bigger? When I click on Places > Home Folder, I only have 5.9 gb available
[01:18] <crimsonmane> poolbeck, your issues may be hardware specific. i've been using beta since release with only minor issues.
[01:18] <Miram> I was just going to ask this as well^
[01:18] <milamber> schwiz2010: did you install the build-essential package?
[01:19] <crimsonmane> vesuven and miram, find GParted in the software center
[01:19] <Miram> I've done that, just wondering if there's anything else I should be looking out for as well
[01:19] <schwiz2010> milamber not that I'm aware of.. just apt-get build-essential?
[01:19] <poolbeck> ok, thanks crimsonmane, i'll check beta channel
[01:19] <Vesuven> crimsonmane: I tried gparted, couldn't understand how to make my partition bigger with it
[01:19] <milamber> schwiz2010: sudo apt-get build-essential
[01:20] <Miram> I believe I have to boot to cd in order to increase the partition I'm using right now?
[01:20] <milamber> schwiz2010: install*
[01:20] <milamber> !gparted | Miram
[01:20] <crimsonmane> miriam, no. run GParted. click the partition. at the top of the window is an arrow button
[01:20] <Miram> Ok
[01:20] <schwiz2010> says that it was already installed
[01:21] <urlin2u> Miram, yes for the live cd to resize turn off the swap as well.
[01:21] <Miram> ok
[01:21] <crimsonmane> i have on this computer windows7, ubuntu10.04, and ubuntu current beta. how can i see which partition contains what so that I can use GParted to remove all but the current beta?
[01:21] <urlin2u> crimsonmane, you want to remove what exactly and keep what exactly.
[01:22] <crimsonmane> urlin2u i would like to remove the old ubuntu and the windows7
[01:22] <crimsonmane> i would like to keep the beta ubuntu
[01:22] <crimsonmane> the windows is easy to find. file system ntfs
[01:22] <urlin2u> crimsonmane, boot to the beta open gparted turn off the swao and delete to your hearts content.
[01:23] <urlin2u> swap
[01:23] <Vesuven> Ok, I ran gparted. I have /dev/sda2 (Extended) dev/sda5 (ext4) dev/sda6 (linux-swap) dev/sda1 (ntfs) and unallocated
[01:23] <crimsonmane> urlin2u won't this also delete the beta partition?
[01:23] <urlin2u> crimsonmane, not if you dont delete its partition.
[01:23] <Miram> I am at the same screen as Vesuven
[01:23] <crimsonmane> urlin2u that's my question. how do i know which partition its on?
[01:24] <qin> crimsonmane: in beta: sudo fdisk -l to see mount points
[01:24] <crimsonmane> miram and vesuven, click a partition you want to resize.
[01:24] <urlin2u> crimsonmane, you will be deleting partitions, if you want to resize the beta use a live cd.  I assume that the beta is not a wubi install here.
[01:24] <crimsonmane> at the top of the screen next to the red circle is an arrow
[01:24] <Miram> Alrighty, this one is locked
[01:24] <poolbeck> can you move the unity panel to the bottom of the screen? thanks
[01:24] <studentz> crimsonmane first backup, second if you prefer GUI boot from CD , if you are comfortable with cli change the run level and unmount the  partitions
[01:24] <Miram> sorry, it just shows a key
[01:24] <urlin2u> Miram, you have to use a live cd.
[01:24] <Miram> Alright then
[01:25] <Vesuven> so I can't resize without a live cd?
[01:25] <urlin2u> Miram, if you resize from the left end upo=you will probably have to reinstall grub to the mbr.
[01:25] <boourns> how difficult is it to change from using mysql package to a source version?  i want to recompile with sphinx.  can i retain my databases+users or do i have to backup and restore them?
[01:26] <Miram> I'm sorry urlin2u, I don't know what that means
[01:26] <crimsonmane> vesuven... i know he's saying you can't do it without a live cd, and that doesn't make sense to me. i'm able to do it with gparted
[01:26] <crimsonmane> if yours has a key instead of the arrow thing, maybe try updated the software?
[01:26] <urlin2u> Miram, when you looka t a partition there  is a left end and a right end.
[01:26] <Vesuven> crimsonmane may I pm u?
[01:26] <crimsonmane> yes
[01:26] <urlin2u> Miram, left equals the start right =end
[01:28] <redboat> Can someone help with this problem the error occurs when i issue the make command I am trying to install the drivers for the FTDI FT232RL chip...  fatal error: /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic-pae/build/include/linux/modversions.h

[01:29] <poolbeck> please can you consider making the unity panel movable to the bottom of the screen or along any axis of the monitor. i am not on my own requesting this. in fact it seems completely logical http://askubuntu.com/questions/33605/can-i-move-the-unity-launcher
[01:30] <Miram> I did not realize that, sorry. Only meant to cut down on clutter
[01:30] <crimsonmane> poolbeck, it's a beta. these things are considered. you can probably already to it with command line edits or something
[01:31] <bazhang> poolbeck, this is for 11.10 and thats #ubuntu+1 not here, as you know
[01:31] <poolbeck> sure, that's the beauty of o/s :-) might have to find out more specifics on this, thanks
[01:31] <crimsonmane> miram, check what version gparted you are using. i have 0.8.1
[01:32] <Miram> I have 0.7.0
[01:32] <crimsonmane> in the software center, i chose the second listing.
[01:33] <poolbeck> if there was life on that channel, I might consider it and since unity is in 11.04, i don't see you issue
[01:33] <zewm> What's a nice clean GUI based irc client these days? (I'm currently using irssi in a terminal window)
[01:34] <Miram> I will get the second listing going and then talk to you
[01:34] <crimsonmane> zewm - PIDGIN :)
[01:34] <DarkStar1> I'm using colloquy atm :)
[01:34] <ixxu> or xchat
[01:34] <DarkStar1> but otherwise P-I-D-G-I-N!!!
[01:34] <celltech> Is there a program I can use to make my thumbdrive a bootdisk for any iso I have?
[01:34] <crimsonmane> zewm Pidgin will connect you to every messenger service at one time. it's very clean. i choose it over empathy
[01:34] <xangua> !unetbootin | celltech
[01:35] <bazhang> celltech, any iso? no
[01:35] <Chamunks> why is unity not giving me my compiz enhancements I have two sapphire radeon 6850's
[01:35] <Chamunks> this should work :P
[01:35] <crimsonmane> chamunks: file a bug report for .that
[01:35] <zewm> How well does Empathy handle IRC? I'm using it as my IM client currently.
[01:35] <celltech> Not what I'm asking at all. I don't want to instal ubuntu. I have an iso of windows for someone and I want to use my thumbdrive as the cd
[01:35] <Chamunks> Also its not detecting my second radeon 8650
[01:35] <crimsonmane> empathy handles IRC very well, but is not "clean" like pidgin is
[01:35] <Chamunks> crimsonmane, eeeeh i'm not sure how to do that.
[01:35] <Vesuven> I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 32 bit, downloading adobe air, which file should I get? .bin, .deb, .rpm or YUM?
[01:36] <bazhang> celltech, ##windows not here
[01:36] <zewm> hrmm I'll give pidgin a try then
[01:36] <bazhang> Vesuven, deb
[01:36] <crimsonmane> zewm if you don't like pidgin, i will eat my tie :)
[01:36] <Vesuven> bazhang: thanks
[01:36] <zewm> I'm holding you to that!
[01:36] <urlin2u> Vesuven, just install the ubuntu-restricted-extras   for flash and plugins needed.
[01:36] <MonkeyDust>  I prefer irssi
[01:36] <celltech> Interesting. Ok. How about this question. I run a wifi network at my house. How can I find "spy" on it and see the traffic comming in an out. I want it to remain open. but I want to be able to monitor it
[01:37] <zewm> I love irssi. I'm just interested in seeing how a GUI based client looks. I just updated to 11.04 and have the bare minimum installed
[01:37] <zewm> .
[01:37] <urlin2u> celltech, way off topic
[01:37] <celltech> awesome. I'll go find help with people that know a thing or 2
[01:37] <crimsonmane> zewm i swear by Pidgin. first thing i do for anyone who gets into linux is remove empathy and replace it with pidgin
[01:37] <xangua> urlin2u: adobe air != adobe flash
[01:37] <xangua> !partner
[01:37] <xangua> you can get and keep adobe air updates from the partner repo Vesuven
[01:38] <urlin2u> xangua, ?
[01:38] <crimsonmane> urlin he said adobe air does not equal adobe flash
[01:38] <zewm> brb on pidgin
[01:38] <urlin2u> crimsonmane, thought it was a mistaken identity. :D
[01:38] <crimsonmane> lol
[01:39] <crimsonmane> welcome back zewm
[01:39] <zewm1> ty
[01:39] <DarkStar1> what were you using before zewm ?
[01:39] <zewm> irssi
[01:39] <zewm> in terminal
[01:40] <DarkStar1> Oh...
[01:40] <zewm> crimsonmane: Can you edit the way the timestamp appears?
[01:40] <MonkeyDust> irssi is really practical, in combination with screen
[01:41] <crimsonmane> yes zewm.
[01:41] <zewm> I love irssi as a terminal client
[01:41] <zewm> I was previously a BitchX / IrcII user (back when I ran slackware in the late 90s)
[01:43] <flodine> ? is this ubuntu 11.10  gnome and unity mixed?
[01:43] <crimsonmane> tdutra #ubuntu+1
[01:44] <bazhang> flodine, #ubuntu+1 please
[01:45] <MonkeyDust> ha
[01:45] <MonkeyDust> pidgin
[01:45] <crimsonmane> you know you like it
[01:45] <MonkeyDust2> test
[01:46] <bazhang> !test > MonkeyDust2
[01:48]  * MonkeyDust2 logs out to see what happens
[01:48] <studentz> best toolkit for C++ QT  or GTKmm?
[01:48] <xangua> !best | studentz
[01:51] <crimsonmane> ... what was the command to see what partition this ubuntu install is located on?
[01:51] <MonkeyDust> mount
[01:51] <MonkeyDust> or sudo fdisk -l
[01:52] <crimsonmane> that shows all paritions and doesn't distinguish this particular install
[01:52] <urlin2u> crimsonmane, mount tells you
[01:52] <devcalais> How do I log in as root in order to modify /etc/default/xorg.txt? I don't remember ever setting up a root password.. If I could do this through the xWindow system (non terminal) it would be alottt easier.
[01:52] <crimsonmane> can you help with syntax?
[01:52] <devcalais> I'm running 11.04 and Unity.
[01:53] <urlin2u> crimsonmane, first line something like sda6
[01:53] <zewm> devcalais: you don't log in as root you simply type 'sudo' before the command
[01:53] <urlin2u> devcalais, sudo gedit /etc/default/xorg.txt
[01:53] <crimsonmane> ah ok. so it's on sda5. do i have to be careful to not remove the swapdisk this one uses?
[01:54] <zewm> and input your password
[01:54] <urlin2u> crimsonmane, you have changed hyour nic again good luck.
[01:54] <crimsonmane> i didn't change my nic... ?
[01:55] <urlin2u> crimsonmane, the user name purple comes up alot
[01:55] <crimsonmane> ... ? what?
[01:55] <urlin2u> to much for coincidence=real name
[01:56] <crimsonmane> i am crimsonmane, and have never changed it
[01:56] <xangua> urlin2u: purple is what comes by default for real name in pidgin.....
[01:56] <urlin2u> xangua, I didn't know that.
[01:56] <crimsonmane> me neither.
[01:56] <Flark706> sorry i know this is the wrong chat for this but anyone here really good with aircrack-ng?...been trying to get help on it all day in the aircrack-ng channel and noone seems to be there
[01:56] <dforthman> ok, so i have 2 server 11.04 installations running in 2 seperate virtualbox vms. they're both using the same setting for the network in the VM (adapter type, bridged, etc), however my second VM is showing no eth0 when i type ifconfig.
[01:57] <dforthman> when i try to bring it up, it says there's no such device
[01:57] <urlin2u> crimsonmane, sorry about that there is a user on here who uses pidgeon always changing thier nic and is a pain to deal with, never actually using ubuntu.
[01:58] <crimsonmane> ah, troll. i see. i was mass confused a bit ago lol
[01:58] <urlin2u> crimsonmane, so the swap will be obvious in gparted, if deleted it can be remade no biggie.
[01:58] <crimsonmane> ty
[01:59] <urlin2u> they are my white whale muhahahha
[01:59] <crimsonmane> someone mentioned master boot record earlier. i think the MBR is on the windows7 install that i'm about to remove. is that a problem? as a clue to narrow the answer, grub boot menu shows up when the computer starts
[02:00] <urlin2u> crimsonmane, cab you still boot windows?
[02:00] <urlin2u> can'
[02:00] <crimsonmane> i can. but i don't.
[02:00] <crimsonmane> i haven't removed the partitions yet
[02:01] <urlin2u> crimsonmane, grub in windows would be no consequence in this deleting, it does not belong there.
[02:01] <crimsonmane> i just want to be uber sure i'm not going to have to go through ubuntu install again.
[02:01] <urlin2u> crimsonmane, your using gparted right?
[02:01] <jxshxx_> Howdy.  I've had trouble w/ the last 3 Lucid installs getting the error for ttf-mscorefonts after installing restriced extras.  Why is this happing, and what's the best fix?
[02:02] <urlin2u> jxshxx_, can you pastebin any errors
[02:02] <urlin2u> jxshxx_, do you accept the contract?
[02:02] <BentFranklin> what command shows info about your swap partition?  df does not report it.
[02:02] <urlin2u> BentFranklin, sudo blkid
[02:02] <BentFranklin> urlin2u: thanks
[02:03] <urlin2u> BentFranklin, uuid and all. no problem\
[02:03] <jesusamaro> Hola
[02:03] <jesusamaro> Alguien??
[02:03] <crimsonmane> solo engles
[02:03] <jesusamaro> Ok
[02:03] <jesusamaro> I need help
[02:04] <zkriesse> !si
[02:04] <zkriesse> jesusamaro: don't ask to ask, just ask :)
[02:04] <urlin2u> crimsonmane, we should probably make sure that your bets has the grub control it probably does but since your in it we can install grub to the mbr to be sure.
[02:04] <urlin2u> beta*
[02:04] <jxshxx_> urlin2u: Can't pastebin at the moment, because I can't install anything until it's fixed.  There is an <OK> at the bottom of the screen that pops up, but nothing I can click on.
[02:04] <urlin2u> jxshxx_, you don't click you scroll down and use the tab
[02:05] <urlin2u> jxshxx_, tab wil highlight the accept
[02:05] <urlin2u> will*
[02:05] <jxshxx_> urlin2u: I'll try it.
[02:06] <urlin2u> jxshxx_, 3 installs  bet you wont forget this one. hehe :D
[02:07] <daddylinux> re unity, all i am seeing is "you can try another distro if you dont like it" well thats not true, ubuntu has more software availiable than any other distro (and nice ppa system) i suggest you respect this and get gnome3 fallback as good as gnome 2 classic or expect loyal ubuntu users to come out of the woodwork with muffled praise for the "innovations team" :-)
[02:07] <jxshxx_> urlin2u: Not after I hang the giant instructional poster on my wall
[02:08] <urlin2u> hehe
[02:08] <bazhang> daddylinux, actual support issue? or just wish to chat
[02:08] <jesusamaro> I wish download ubuntu, but when I going to downloading  there are three options, "Desktop" - "Server" - "Cloud".. should be choose?
[02:08] <jxshxx_> urlin2u: Can't get lock.  How do I kill the processes?
[02:08] <jesusamaro> I wish download ubuntu, but when I going to downloading  there are three options, "Desktop" - "Server" - "Cloud".. should be choose?
[02:08] <urlin2u> jxshxx_, not sure what you mean
[02:08] <daddylinux> actual real human feeling towards ubuntu issue
[02:08] <jesusamaro> Is for a normal machine
[02:09] <uns0b1ll> im on nvidia drivers and my 1920-1680 dissapeared
[02:09] <bazhang> !ot | daddylinux
[02:09] <uns0b1ll> im stuck on 1024X768 can u help ?
[02:09] <xangua> jesusamaro: desktop for a desktop
[02:09] <BentFranklin> urlin2u: Re blkid, I'm trying to find the size of the swap partition.
[02:09] <jesusamaro> xangua.. and the others?
[02:09] <urlin2u> uns0b1ll, have you looked in additional drivers for one available?
[02:09] <uns0b1ll> how so ?
[02:10] <urlin2u> BentFranklin, install gparted and look there that is what I do.
[02:10] <urlin2u> BentFranklin, sudo fdisk -l works to
[02:10] <uns0b1ll> theres only one generic-nvidia driver under Hardware Drivers
[02:11] <uns0b1ll> nvidia_current inside additional driver
[02:11] <BentFranklin> urlin2u: Ah yes that should work.  I'm always leery of running partitioners unless I mean it.
[02:11] <urlin2u> uns0b1ll, are you using it
[02:11] <jxshxx_> urlin2u: I think I need to kill apt so I can get lock and run the restricted-extras command again ... other ideas?
[02:11] <uns0b1ll> urlin2u, correct, and its only 1200x768
[02:11] <urlin2u> BentFranklin, no biggie as long as you don't hit the run. :D
[02:12] <urlin2u> jxshxx_, so what is it doing and where are you running it.
[02:12] <uns0b1ll> its nvidia 210
[02:13] <urlin2u> uns0b1ll, nvidia is out of my pay range but you have the right info for help.:D
[02:13] <bazhang> BB0t, hi
[02:13] <jxshxx_> urlin2u: Not sure what it's doing.  I closed the ttf-mscorefonts box earlier, so maybe that?
[02:13] <uns0b1ll> getting this right now
[02:13] <uns0b1ll> http://www.nvidia.com/content/DriverDownload-March2009/confirmation.php?url=/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/256.53/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.53.run&lang=us&type=GeForce
[02:13] <uns0b1ll> but its run file
[02:14] <FloodBot1> uns0b1ll: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:14] <uns0b1ll> what do i do with .run ?
[02:14] <urlin2u> jxshxx_, you in a terminal that is frozen?
[02:14] <RvPup> ubuntu 10.10 ...i need to find the menu.ls file to edit it to add a puppy linux install ...how do i find it ...i seem to recall it was installed on dev/sda ///without partition numbers ...
[02:14] <rww> aj00200: Unauthorized bots are not permitted in #ubuntu. Please remove yours from the channel.
[02:14] <urlin2u> RvPup, in ubuntu run sudo update-grub
[02:14] <bazhang> RvPup, check the grub2 wiki menu.lst no longer exists
[02:14] <bazhang> !grub2 > RvPup
[02:16] <RvPup> im logged into the puppy system now ...i must be in the ubuntu to find it?
[02:16] <jxshxx_> urlin2u: The terminal works.  I just can't use apt.  "Is another process using it?", it asks ...
[02:16] <aj00200> rww: I'm sorry, I didn't realize that it was set to autojoin #ubuntu. I still have the config from a different network
[02:16] <bazhang> RvPup, yes
[02:16] <rww> aj00200: thanks :)
[02:17] <urlin2u> jxshxx_, you can only have one updater open, so check if the update manager softwrae sources or synaptic is open.
[02:17] <RvPup> ok ...logging out ...thanks
[02:17] <jxshxx_> urlin2u: E: could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg
[02:17] <urlin2u> jxshxx_, everything but the terminal closed?
[02:18] <uns0b1ll> do i need to quit X to install nvidia drivers?
[02:18] <jxshxx_> urlin2u: firefox open ... bad?
[02:18] <uns0b1ll> how to close X quickly
[02:19] <urlin2u> jxshxx_, no run these two commands no other installers open.   sudo dpkg --configure -a  sudo apt-get -f install
[02:19] <jxshxx_> urlin2u: on it ...
[02:20] <studentz> uns0b1ll   stopx
[02:20] <uns0b1ll> thanks
[02:20] <urlin2u> uns0b1ll, did you install the driver and not logout or reboot?
[02:20] <uns0b1ll> i did not installed anything yet.  i just got it - i need to quit X and install in from console
[02:20] <urlin2u> uns0b1ll, from the additional drivers.
[02:20] <uns0b1ll> stopx doesnt work on my
[02:21] <zewm> sudo stopx
[02:21] <uns0b1ll> nothing in additional. i got the driver from website
[02:21] <jxshxx_> urlin2u: first command returned dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[02:21] <studentz> uns0b1ll you need to start from anonther run level
[02:21] <uns0b1ll> well... then i just run shutdown now
[02:21] <uns0b1ll> to go level 3
[02:21] <studentz> uns0b1ll start from grub in recovery and got to console

[02:30] <bazhang> cobra679, did you read the post? try the error troubleshooting listed
[02:30] <Man_South> actually, earliear I used 10.04, there i could directly start using
[02:30] <Man_South> vi
[02:30] <Man_South> by pressing i
[02:31] <cereal> i'm having a werid issue with 10.04, whenever I attempt to use wget it resolves the domain to my local ipv6 address, however ping and dig work flawlessly (as in give the correct ip address), has anyone heard of this??
[02:31] <Man_South> studentz
[02:31] <Man_South> now, i get like this-
[02:31] <Man_South> VIM - Vi IMproved                                 ~                                                                                ~                               version 7.2.330                                  ~                           by Bram Moolenaar et al.                             ~                 Vim is open source and freely distributable
[02:32] <VampsBeasty> has any one used PlayOnLinux?
[02:32] <studentz> Man_South I launch vi from terminal and  i command works
[02:32] <Man_South> i just want to do the way i used to do in vi from 10.04
[02:33] <Galaxor2> bazhang http://pastebin.ca/2080718
[02:33] <Man_South> no its not working
[02:33] <Man_South> it's just giving some options?
[02:33] <Man_South> can I just make it simple?
[02:33] <Man_South> studentz
[02:33] <Man_South> like pressing vi
[02:33] <jumpkick> anyone here have a MCT Trigger 1+ based USB2VGA adapter working (USB ID 0711:5100 -- i.e. MWS300, Tritton XD300)?
[02:33] <Man_South> and pressing i
[02:34] <Galaxor2> Bazhang that was the apt-get update output.
[02:34] <bazhang> Galaxor2, why the armel repos
[02:35] <Galaxor2> bazhang cuz I'm on an arm device. Nvidia tegra.
[02:36] <bazhang> Galaxor2, perhaps try in #ubuntu-arm I honestly have zero experience with that
[02:36] <studentz> Man_South check the config file .vimrc.    I'm not expert on vi
[02:37] <bazhang> studentz, he's gone
[02:37] <Galaxor2> bazhang Ooh, a whole channel just for arm? Cool I'll check it out thx.
[02:37] <cobra679> bazhang how would i go about replacing that file?
[02:37] <cobra679> just redownload it?
[02:38] <cobra679> in the package manager?
[02:39] <bazhang> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/517934 jumpkick this may be relevant

[02:46] <bazhang> cobra679, reinstall? why not get the most recent? thats the only relevant link I could find to your issue

[03:02] <x3qt0r> why does it have moodswings
[03:02] <x3qt0r> on ubuntu 10.04
[03:02] <x3qt0r> sometimes it starts sometimes it doesnt
[03:02] <uns0b1ll> is my version hardy ?
[03:02] <urlin2u> !details | x3qt0r
[03:03] <dr_willis> !version | uns0b1ll
[03:03] <uns0b1ll> natty
[03:03] <uns0b1ll> okay thnx
[03:04] <x3qt0r> I installed Mathematica 7
[03:04] <x3qt0r>  I have ubuntu 10.04
[03:04] <x3qt0r> It didnt start after I installed it
[03:04] <x3qt0r> in GUI mode.
[03:04] <dr_willis> is mathematica a native linux app? ive never used it.
[03:04] <x3qt0r> So I used it in terminal mode
[03:05] <x3qt0r> where it functioned well.
[03:05] <x3qt0r> And few days back I started it in GUI
[03:05] <x3qt0r> with Mathematica -nosplashscreen
[03:05] <x3qt0r> it started!
[03:05] <x3qt0r> worked well too
[03:05] <x3qt0r> then I closed it
[03:05] <x3qt0r> came back after a while
[03:05] <dr_willis> we can handle more then 4 words per line x3qt0r .....
[03:05] <x3qt0r> and then it wasnt starting again.
[03:05] <x3qt0r> okay sorry.
[03:06] <x3qt0r> Anyhow, the point is it started well in commandline mode, but the plot functions dont work, the output just reads "Graphics".
[03:06] <uns0b1ll> i only see nvidia_current in my additional drivers
[03:07] <uns0b1ll> gota give a try
[03:07] <x3qt0r> When I try to run it in GUI, it doesnt run, but I do see it in the task manager.

[03:13] <karmst> kvm doesn't work with Windows 7 as a guest
[03:13] <MonkeyDust> vbox does
[03:13] <urlin2u> rectec794613, if turned off how you going to turn it aback off the answer is no I believe.
[03:13] <yeats> karmst: nope - it's based on the Linux kernel
[03:14] <yeats> karmst: try vbox
[03:14] <urlin2u> back on*

[03:47] <fermulator> I completed this setup on my media center (Radeon card) and my notebook (Intel card), same symptom
[03:48] <urlin2u> Marine1, I wonder if the drivers for it are not actually available in ubuntu did you try looking in printer.   http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/downloads.html
[03:48] <x3qt0r> is there a freenode mathematica support
[03:48] <urlin2u> fermulator, you have a screen shot.

[03:50] <urlin2u> fermulator, I have a custom compiz setup I save and use every time so I don't recognize what you describe.

[03:51] <urlin2u> Marine1, does that link have any clues, personally I don't know but was just looking around to see if there is an answer
[03:51] <fermulator> urlin2u: basically, when the unity bar is showing, it looks fine, but when it "hides" i'm left with that black rectangular "shadow" of where it previously was, which is always on top of the actual window (whether it's maximized or not)
[03:51] <urlin2u> fermulator, says trash hmm.
[03:52] <DrNoNeck> DrNoNeck
[03:52] <Marine1> urlin2u: I have looked extensively and to no-avail
[03:53] <urlin2u> fermulator, you mean the black bar on the left edge of the screen?
[03:53] <fermulator> urlin2u: yes
[03:53] <fermulator> urlin2u: it hides anything that tries to go there. (i.e. is /in front/ of all windows)

[03:54] <urlin2u> fermulator, I know you can make the launcher translucent forget where though that is strange, never there before?

[03:59] <urlin2u> fermulator, I have my compiz set up crash so there is no widow header at time the restart in displex fixes that, and would have fixed that bar without the logout.

[04:05] <excelsior1979> urlin2u: The cd is 10.04 i386...
[04:06] <excelsior1979> it's an older disk, so maybe that's the problem?
[04:06] <urlin2u> excelsior1979, it will download the latest release I believe if you look on the ubuntu forums I believe there is a way to block that.

[04:15] <excelsior1979> so here's a question, should I burn the latest iso on a new disk, or burn it over the old one?
[04:15] <urlin2u> excelsior1979, if ot is downloading I believe it installs.
[04:16] <urlin2u> it*
[04:16] <dforthman> when I type 'apache2 -S' I get this - apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER} - how do i fix that?
[04:16] <urlin2u> excelsior1979, it started the download after you set up the install is this correct?
[04:17] <excelsior1979> I have a feeling it's all for naught, as this is the second time I'm doing it, and the first time I did it, the computer automatically booted windows, with no option for Ubuntu.
[04:17] <excelsior1979> I'm using the admin account on XP. Is that a possible problem?
[04:18] <urlin2u> excelsior1979, read the link on the intentions of wubi it may change your mine as far as using, a dual boot if you can is mor stable.
[04:18] <urlin2u> more*
[04:19] <excelsior1979> ok, well here's why I'm using wubi: the USB dvd drive isn't recognized on boot.
[04:19] <urlin2u> excelsior1979, you always install from admin with  wubi.
[04:20] <excelsior1979> and XP is cool, right?
[04:21] <excelsior1979> I'd prefer to partition and install a dual boot that way, but I can't get the USB drive recognized on boot, and I've looked at all the bios settings several times.
[04:21] <urlin2u> excelsior1979, XP should be, the computer will boot a thumb though correct, there are key presses to get a post bios boot from menu.
[04:21] <xsacha> hi
[04:21] <excelsior1979> It's not a thumb, it's a DVD
[04:21] <excelsior1979> USB DVD
[04:21] <excelsior1979> or do you mean I should try a thumb drive instead?
[04:21] <xsacha> i was wondering how best to setup my ATI switchable graphics on ubuntu. Is there a method available that allows me to switch to Intel on battery and back to ATI when i'm not?
[04:22] <excelsior1979> i considered it, and I'm considering it again.
[04:22] <urlin2u> excelsior1979, same thing is the computer able to even use a dvd drive and do you know the post bios menu?
[04:22] <excelsior1979> yes, boot order is ok, BIOS is set to boot from USB,
[04:22] <mcuser> when my computer wakes from sleep I have to switch to tty7 to get back xorg
[04:22] <mcuser> does anyone know what to do?
[04:23] <D-coy> m4v, sopla nucas xD!
[04:23] <excelsior1979> I'm not sure what else I've looked at or changed, I don't have it in front of me right now.
[04:23] <urlin2u> excelsior1979, some times that is not enough all computers have anothe boot from menu outside the bios that is reached with a key prompt, mine is f12 yours may be that or another key set.
[04:24] <excelsior1979> yes f12, tried that
[04:24] <urlin2u> excelsior1979, what is the computer model?
[04:24] <excelsior1979> dell tower,
[04:24] <urlin2u> excelsior1979, what happened when you tried f12?
[04:25] <excelsior1979> optiplex gx280
[04:25] <excelsior1979> several options, I selected USB and DVD alternately
[04:26] <fermulator> urlin2u: wow; displex is awesome :-)
[04:27] <wildbat> excelsior1979: don't you have a USB Flash drive?
[04:28] <urlin2u> fermulator, thought you would like it. :D
[04:30] <Besogon> hi guys.  the volume icon disappeared from systray. How to tune the system tray? I had to add the volume applet near the systray but it's not the same :(
[04:30] <excelsior1979> wildbat: yes I have one, but it's my backup drive, so I don't want to really wipe it for an install disk. 8 GB. Can I use it to backup stuff while booting and installing from it too?
[04:30] <Besogon> ps: I use xfce
[04:30] <fermulator> urlin2u: since you're an expert here ... :-) ... after configuring compiz and everything, the "Workspace Switcher" no longer works, nor can we remove it from the bar.  I did some research last month and couldn't find a way at the time to remove.  Do you have a secret way to fix/remove it?\
[04:30] <excelsior1979> better yet, could I install multiple distributions from it?
[04:33] <excelsior1979> hello?
[04:33] <urlin2u> fermulator, expert lol, I think it stays not sure seems like mine disappeared, I use docky at the bottom as well, and its switcher if needed I have my mouse set to roll the window withe the scroll button.
[04:33] <wildbat> excelsior1979: hmmm ~ you can but thou during the process of making the USB you should put your backup else where
[04:34] <urlin2u> fermulator, I'm on Oneriric gnome 3 right now I will boot to natty to look hold on.
[04:34] <fermulator> interesting; yeah well I can still of course use Expo (Super+E), or the cube, or the cube shortcuts (CTRL+ALT+left/right)
[04:34] <Guest9147> hi
[04:34] <excelsior1979> any good tutorials on setting up a multiple install USB?
[04:34] <joseph_> Hello how do i Update from 10.04 to 11.10 Beta using apt-get?
[04:34] <wildbat> excelsior1979: check that  :  http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/
[04:35] <Guest9147> how can i change the grub default partition
[04:35] <Guest9147> because now the default one is memory test
[04:35] <Guest9147> and i use partedmagic for just asking
[04:35] <qin> joseph_: Maybe: sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[04:35] <Guest9147> pleaze can you answer to me ?
[04:36] <excelsior1979> wildbat: I don't want to use Windows to make this, any suggestions?
[04:36] <joseph_> qin: thanks
[04:36] <fermulator> excelsior1979: unetbootin <-- a program to load up ISOs, bootable, on USB keys
[04:37] <excelsior1979> can it do multiple installs from one USB?
[04:37] <excelsior1979> stick
[04:38] <Guest9147> how can i change the grub default partition
[04:38] <qin> excelsior1979: yes
[04:38] <excelsior1979> tutorial link please?
[04:38] <fermulator> excelsior1979: it only supports one from the GUI, i've wanted to do it for a while myself, yes qin -- would be awesome if you have info on that
[04:38] <excelsior1979> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
[04:39] <qin> excelsior1979: Insert stick to pc A, install system, remove stick, repeat steps for pc B C D etc
[04:40] <dr_willis> Guest9147:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc is one way i belive.
[04:40] <excelsior1979> It would be sweet if I could install every flavor of Ubuntu from a single USB, plus other select Linuxes...
[04:40] <Guest9147> but i cant use ubuntu
[04:41] <fermulator> qin/excelsior1979: clarification, are we trying to install multiple OSs onto a USB key, or have available multiple ISOs for booting to install OSs?
[04:41] <dr_willis> excelsior1979:  thats doable.. with a large pendrive and grub2 setup to boot the iso files
[04:41] <wildbat> excelsior1979: unless you have other source of booting you pc to linux ~ as far as i know you can boot USB DVD.  what's wrong with that win tools.?
[04:41] <Guest9147> because it begin with the memory test
[04:41] <excelsior1979> But what about the 32 bit v 64 bit?
[04:41] <dr_willis> Guest9147:  you mean the default grub selection.. not partition...
[04:41] <Guest9147> so i must change the memory test to other thing
[04:41] <Guest9147> yes
[04:41] <Guest9147> that what i mean
[04:41] <excelsior1979> I don't trust Windows with my USB.
[04:41] <dr_willis> Guest9147:  your arrow keys dont work to select an item?
[04:41] <Guest9147> i am sorry about my english
[04:41] <Guest9147> no
[04:42] <dr_willis> Guest9147:  is it a usb keyboard?
[04:42] <Guest9147> no
[04:42] <dr_willis> you CAN give a litle more details ya know. :)
[04:42] <dr_willis> laptop? desktop? no keytboard?  ect...
[04:42] <Guest9147> laptop
[04:43] <Guest9147> lenovo G550
[04:43] <fermulator> excelsior1979: yes, that's what i'd like to do as well, have a "library" of installers on a single USB key (and you can pick which one to install .. Ubuntu desktop, Ubuntu alternate, Ubuntu server, 32-bit/64-bit, LTS, latest, etc.
[04:43] <fermulator> theoretically once unetbootin does one, we should be able to easily augment the files to just add more ISOs to the file system, but I haven't had time to fiddle with it yet
[04:43] <dr_willis> i would plug in a USB keyboard and see if it works.. or go to the bios settings and see if theres a legacy usb setting to enable Guest9147  - the keyboard should work. Im not sure how memtest would be the default item either..
[04:43] <wildbat> excelsior1979: like i said unless you have other PC that can boot to linux , or other way to boot your PC to linux. you are sticking with Windows .
[04:44] <Guest9147> me too
[04:44] <dr_willis> fermulator:  i found it easier to just use grub2 to boot the isos :) but each iso/disrto may need differnt options.
[04:44] <Guest9147> when i use super grub disk
[04:44] <Guest9147> it give me other selections
[04:44] <excelsior1979> I'm in Ubuntu right now
[04:45] <Guest9147> i use just up and down arrow ?
[04:45] <dr_willis> Guest9147:  so the keyboard works on the SUperGrubBOot CD? but not on the  installed ubuntu system?
[04:45] <excelsior1979> ;) I'm trying to get a work computer to use Ubuntu. Everything here is sucky hardware. Which is why this tower requires an external dvd drive
[04:45] <Guest9147> yes
[04:45] <Guest9147> not the installed
[04:45] <Guest9147> i cant change
[04:45] <dr_willis> does it work on a Ubuntu live cd Guest9147 ?
[04:45] <Guest9147> but i can use it in memory test
[04:46] <wildbat> excelsior1979: okay, back the USB up, install grub in it and follow the links others have give you.
[04:46] <Guest9147> because it work normaly with me for change the memory test before but now i cant see the list of selections
[04:46] <excelsior1979> ooh, gotta go sing happy birthday!
[04:47] <dr_willis> Guest9147:  you could boot a live cd, and either chroot in and alter the grub defaults. or (not so great an idea) use a live cd. and edit the boot/grub.cfg file to select a differnt default.
[04:47] <Guest9147> ok
[04:47] <fermulator> I've forgotten how to do this; in Ubuntu, 11.04, how to disable the Restart/Shutdown/Login confirmation prompt?
[04:48] <dr_willis> Guest9147:  You cant SEE the menu?  or what exactly do you see?
[04:48] <Guest9147> it go directly to the memtest
[04:48] <fermulator> oh here it is apps > indicator-session >
[04:48] <fermulator> > suppress_logout_restart_shutdown
[04:49] <urlin2u> fermulator, try this and then restart the using displex. http://askubuntu.com/questions/41730/is-there-a-way-to-disable-the-workspace-switcher-in-unity-launcher
[04:49] <excelsior1979> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
[04:49] <excelsior1979> fermulator: you get that?
[04:50] <fermulator> urlin2u: yes, if you reduce the number of workspaces to 1, the workspace switcher will go away;  however I want some workspaces :-)
[04:50] <Guest9147>  it go directly to the memtest dr_willis
[04:50] <fermulator> exelsior1979: hmmm ... a windows app?
[04:51] <excelsior1979> boo it requires windows
[04:51] <wildbat> excelsior1979: fermulator: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
[04:52] <dr_willis> Guest9147:  if you edit the grub.cfg file you can make it not go there.
[04:52] <qin> excelsior1979: It say run file.sh, unlikey to do it in windows: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/39747/how-to-boot-10-different-live-cds-from-1-usb-flash-drive/
[04:52] <fermulator> wildbat: oh yeah, nice -- i think that will do it; must be relatively new?
[04:52] <Guest9147> i am seeing that
[04:52] <dr_willis> Guest9147:  or chroot in, and altr the grub config files in etc/ to change thedefault.
[04:53] <excelsior1979> subtle difference, wildbat, we're want to multi-install, not multiboot.
[04:53] <Guest9147> i am using parted magiq parition
[04:53] <dr_willis> Guest9147: but you are saying you dont even see the other options or the grub menu at all?
[04:53] <Guest9147> so i can change the file
[04:53] <Guest9147> yes i dont see it dr_willis
[04:55] <Guest9147> what do you say if i delete the part of memtest from the file  grub.cfg file
[04:55] <urlin2u> fermulator, I have 4 in the horizontal, and 1 on the other two, I also found a link that goes like this in the terminal run gnome-panel this brings up the classic panel, add the workplace switcher, right click preferences, and change to one. That  with a restart removed the dektop changer in the unity panel, is that what you wanted?
[04:55] <wildbat> excelsior1979: do whatever installation you like ~ but be care with partitioning and grub/bootloader.
[04:55] <urlin2u> fermulator, when you close the terminal the gnome-panel disappears.
[04:56] <qin> Guest9147: Maybe try liveCD, to see if your box is ok.
[04:56] <Guest9147> how i can see that dr_willis
[04:57] <urlin2u> fermulator, I assume you have the cube and spin it.
[04:57] <dr_willis> Guest9147:  be a bit more verbose in your questions.. see what?
[04:57] <dr_willis> Guest9147:  you will want to set the default item to be the one you want to boot.
[04:57] <Guest9147> see my box is ok or no ?
[04:58] <Guest9147> how can i set the default item to be the one that i want ?
[04:58] <dr_willis> see the grub.cfg file. its in there near the top
[04:59] <dr_willis> grub menu items strt counting from ZERO also.. so the first item would be a '0'
[04:59] <Guest9147> i see  4 ?
[04:59] <Guest9147> set default="4"
[04:59] <fermulator> urlin2u: so i enabled gnome-panel, reduced the num workspaces to 3, logged out, the switcher was gone, but the cube no longer worked (because workspaces=1), then i went into compiz, general settings, and increased again to 4 horizontal, yay, cube worked.  after a logout+login though, the workspace switcher returns on the unity panel
[05:00] <Guest9147> this is what i see in the grub.cfg file ?
[05:00] <fermulator> urlin2u: /however/  now the switcher actually works ... interesting ...
[05:00] <urlin2u> fermulator, changr the gnome panel app to 1
[05:00] <namoamitabuddha> Is there any lightweight display manager?
[05:00] <urlin2u> change*
[05:00] <Guest9147> i send to you the grub.cfg file dr_willis
[05:00] <fermulator> urlin2u: changing the gnome-panel switcher app to 1 affects the compiz general settings (they're tied together) -- changing one changes the other
[05:01] <namoamitabuddha> Hi, guys, is there any display manager which supports for switching user?
[05:01] <dr_willis> Guest9147:  theres a set default= line you will want to change the 3
[05:01] <dr_willis> Number..
[05:02] <Guest9147> i send to you the file
[05:02] <dr_willis> !pastebin
[05:02] <Guest9147> and tell me what i must change
[05:02] <dr_willis> 'set default=#  you will want to change the # to be the menu entry you want as default.
[05:02] <urlin2u> fermulator, your I checked the panel app back to 4 and restarted with diplex and the icon is back I guess I'm just used to ignoring ut.
[05:03] <Guest9147> ahhh ok
[05:03] <Guest9147> thx i will try that
[05:03] <urlin2u> your right*
[05:03] <Guest9147> than i return
[05:03] <Guest9147> thanks dr_willis
[05:03] <namoamitabuddha> Hi, guys
[05:03] <namoamitabuddha> Is there anyone using slim?
[05:03] <fermulator> urlin2u: haha yep; I think it's stuck there at least for now.  I'm OK with ignoring it, it's only a /wee/ bit of real-estate wasted :-)
[05:04] <urlin2u> fermulator, yeah I set the scroll wheel on the mouse in ubuntu twek to spin the cube so I can do it without a key press, as well.
[05:05] <fermulator> urlin2u: bwah? just scrolling the mouse spins the cube?
[05:05] <dr_willis> that could get annoying. :)
[05:05] <nac-godfather> change it
[05:05] <nac-godfather> You probably mistakenly edited the initiate button.
[05:06] <Desyncify> ok, got another problem
[05:06] <Desyncify> Trying to install java on ubuntu 11.04
[05:07] <Desyncify> when I type ln -s <Java installation directory>/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so my libnpjp2.so file seems to be broken every time
[05:07] <Desyncify> and I can't get java to work
[05:07] <nac-godfather> I'd like to know how to setup java too.  I put the plugins in firefox, but how would you install the source packages for system java?
[05:08] <x3qt0r> In[1]:= Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2Pi}]
[05:08] <x3qt0r> Out[1]= -Graphics-
[05:08] <x3qt0r> this what i get in mathematica 7
[05:08] <x3qt0r> in command line mode with ubuntu 10.04
[05:08] <x3qt0r> I do not see the plot.
[05:09] <fermulator> urlin2u: came across this list of indicators btw: http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/05/10-useful-application-indicators-for.html
[05:11] <urlin2u> fermulator, yeah I have several apps basic same instructions, I can't find the mouse spin, I think I did it in ubuntu tweak. but I have a compiz scfript I saved when I got it working I use.
[05:11] <nac-godfather> Anyone know where I could get some more gnome emblems?
[05:13] <bullgard4> nac-godfather: More than what?
[05:13] <Desyncify> whats easiest way to delete java after I installed the .bin file?
[05:13] <rube>  I'm trying to install ubuntu but the cd just seems to sit forever when it gets to the ubuntu...... screen.  Any ideas?
[05:13] <Desyncify> I did ./jre-6u<version>-linux-i586-rpm.bin
[05:13] <Schala> I'm having a bit of difficulty finding a certain package by the name of "gdkmm" that I apparently need
[05:14] <nac-godfather> Know I'd like to know if there are any resources for getting some more (additional) emblems for gnome.  Maybe someone has some shared custom ones?
[05:15] <nac-godfather> yeah, try using the vesa install.  Because you probably have some low ram or graphics trying to kick in, that your computer can't handle (rube)
[05:15] <dr_willis> nac-godfather:  i just collect them from various icon web sites or icon themes. or just make some :)  i dont use them much any more.
[05:15] <nac-godfather> just press the tab key at startup or try the text install
[05:15] <nac-godfather> then you can edit the boot line if necessary
[05:16] <dr_willis> gnome-look web site might have some emblem collections.
[05:16] <ericbatista> hello
[05:16] <nac-godfather> did you just use icon files?
[05:17] <urlin2u> fermulator, found it if you have ubuntu tweak installed. http://imagebin.org/171987
[05:17] <nac-godfather> I'm sure you could use almost any image, but was just curious.
[05:17] <ericbatista> i need help to fix problem with my wifi
[05:17] <nac-godfather> what chipset ericbatista?
[05:17] <ericbatista> i dont know
[05:17] <rube> ok, I'll check that out. thanks
[05:17] <ericbatista> im thinking intel
[05:18] <nac-godfather> what is the output of lspci | grep 802.11
[05:18] <nac-godfather> is it a pci card or usb/
[05:18] <dr_willis> nac-godfather:  i used any png files i happened to find.
[05:18] <rube> shouldn't be low ram. I have 8gigs but it won't hurt to try
[05:18] <nac-godfather> cool, thanks
[05:18] <ericbatista> its laptop
[05:18] <ericbatista> inside
[05:18] <dr_willis> nac-godfather:  anime screen shots + cropping = lots of them :)
[05:18] <nac-godfather> what graphics u using ericbatista?
[05:18] <nac-godfather> cool
[05:21] <ericbatista> sorry
[05:21] <ericbatista> close the terminal
[05:21] <ericbatista> for know the chipset
[05:22] <fermulator> urlin2u: hahaha, opening ubuntu tweak and flipping to "compiz settings" caused that black rectangle again behind the unity bar.
[05:22] <urlin2u> fermulator, do a restart
[05:22] <urlin2u> displex
[05:22] <fermulator> unity restart?
[05:22] <fermulator> oh right
[05:23] <nac-godfather> anyone know how to set a folder background?
[05:23] <nac-godfather> nautilus
[05:23] <urlin2u> fermulator, no the displex restart window manager
[05:23] <fermulator> urlin2u: yep; that fixed it
[05:23] <ericbatista> hi i need help to fix a wifi problems with the driver
[05:23] <ericbatista> ?
[05:23] <fermulator> looks like there's a weird bug in the "refresh" sometimes when fiddling with compiz adjustments
[05:23] <fermulator> restarting windows manager fixes 'er
[05:24] <ericbatista> 04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
[05:24] <urlin2u> fermulator, If I press the scroll it shrinks the cube and I can spin with mouse move aa well, or just roll it to spin it.
[05:24] <fermulator> test
[05:24] <excelsior1979> so does anyone have any idea what keeps wubi from installing correctly?
[05:24] <fermulator> hmmmm , LoL, my Enter key has stopped working in the terminal ...
[05:25] <fermulator> whop, there it goes
[05:25] <fermulator> weird
[05:26] <urlin2u> yeah the refresh is funky compiz is part of the unity desktop, and we are tweaking it the restart window manager fixes that refresh.
[05:26] <excelsior1979> ubuntu
[05:26] <ericbatista> hi somebody can help me please
[05:27] <urlin2u> excelsior1979, I haven't followed all your posts, do you just have a natty cd burned to try with?

[05:40] <urlin2u> is*
[05:40] <excelsior1979> here's another question: why isn't there a DVD iso that can install every flavor of Ubuntu?
[05:41] <moose-machine>  urlin2u oh ok. i see.
[05:41] <ericbatista> if i can do in a grafic ??
[05:41] <dr_willis> excelsior1979:  because the demand for such a thing would be rather low. and i do belive ive seen onofficial dvd's that do such that.
[05:41] <urlin2u> ericbatista, ?
[05:42] <Jordan_U> excelsior1979: That's pretty much what you can do with the DVD iso. It has the alternate installer as an option, and all of main on the DVD. So you can install any flavor you want.
[05:42] <fermulator> bah;  the unity-launcher-editor doesn't actually work
[05:42] <dr_willis> i made a multi-disrto flash drive rather easially. :) using tools from the pendrivelinux siet.
[05:42] <ericbatista> using my computer to conect to internet in lan to shared via wifi on ad-hoc connection?
[05:43] <ericbatista> can do?
[05:43] <dr_willis> not sure about moving it to a DVD. since i had like 12+ isos on it.
[05:43] <dr_willis> !ics
[05:43] <dr_willis> ericbatista:  i recall not all wireless cards can do an ad-hoc network. but ive rarely ever tried ad-hocing  ecvept with my cellphone
[05:45] <mikeliss> is there a clever way to run a command after another *that you've already started* finishes?
[05:45] <mikeliss> e.g., I start a really long process, and then realize I wish I had an alert script that would run when it finished?
[05:45] <fermulator> mikeliss: if it's in a terminal, just type the command in the same terminal (it will look weird), and press enter; when the previous process returns, the STDIN you just gave it will auto-go
[05:46] <dorkmafia> should i install 64 bit or 32 bit? I have 12Gb of memory currently on my cpu but I've never installed linux b4
[05:47] <paulbrianstewart> I personally would use the 32 bit
[05:47] <Jordan_U> dorkmafia: 64 Bit.
[05:47] <dorkmafia> ;)
[05:47] <paulbrianstewart> jordan_u: why?
[05:48] <paulbrianstewart> jordan_u: is it faster?
[05:48] <dr_willis> if you want full use of the ram. go 64bit.
[05:48] <dr_willis> pae kernel can work. but can be slower. and i dont see a lot of reasons to go 32bit these days.
[05:48] <Jordan_U> paulbrianstewart: Because with 12 GiB of RAM you actually have a possibility of wanting a single application to be able to use more than 4 GiB.
[05:49] <ericbatista> dr_willis:  right now my card is functional and connect ad-hoc right now.. but i can't shared de internet
[05:49] <dorkmafia> is most of the software available in 64?
[05:49] <fermulator> FYI:  Creating an empty ".local" directory in your $HOME directory causes Unity launchers to break
[05:49] <paulbrianstewart> jordan_u: ..ok, thanks..I didn't know that.
[05:49] <dr_willis> ericbatista:  see that ics guide/wiki? i recall it being a few clicks and its done sort of thing.. not dont it in ages...
[05:49] <nac-godfather> Anyone know how I can change xscreensaver to run as root?  Or vlc withoult recompiling?
[05:50] <dr_willis> nac-godfather:  why would you want to do  that?
[05:50] <nac-godfather> omg, he want's to run as root!  Let me decide what I do.
[05:50] <nac-godfather> because I am root
[05:50] <nac-godfather> I know what I'm doing
[05:51] <mikeliss> fermulator: Friggin' clever. Never tried that before.
[05:51] <mikeliss> Thanks.
[05:51] <dr_willis> whatever then.. have fun.
[05:52] <Jordan_U> paulbrianstewart: It can be faster. 99.9% of software is 64 bit compatible, with the main notable exception being flash. That said, if I didn't tell you, you probably would never notice that flash isn't 64 bit as Ubuntu handles installing a 32 bit wrapper automatically when you install flash. There is also a beta native 64 bit flash player.
[05:52] <aaron11> Hey there. Im experiencing problems on booting into my newly installed 11.04. On LiveCD 1st boot it became a black screen but you can faintly see whats going on and you can hear the drum sounds. On LiveCD 2nd boot, everything worked fine so I installed it. On HDD boot I have to restart it many times to get it to work right. Now im in nomodeset mode and I want to get it back to normal, care to help? Im very new to Linux so a very deta
[05:52] <urlin2u> dr_willis, there are always the root runners, lol
[05:53] <Jordan_U> nac-godfather: We don't support logging in as root.
[05:53] <paulbrianstewart> jordan_u:..thanks for the explanation
[05:53] <Jordan_U> paulbrianstewart: You're welcome.
[05:53] <urlin2u> aaron11, look in additional drivers.
[05:53] <fermulator> mikeliss: you're welcome! and if you copy/paste a command with "newline" or "whitespace" after it, it is like "auto-enter"
[05:53] <urlin2u> aaron11, also post the gpu.
[05:53] <aaron11> urlin2u: Ok
[05:54] <aaron11> urlin2u: But there is nothing to do there
[05:54] <nac-godfather> good for u, you want a medal for trying to turn linux into a ms thing?
[05:54] <urlin2u> aaron11, this will identify the card.  lspci | grep VGA
[05:54] <aaron11> urlin2u: It just searches for drivers then says no proprietary drivers used
[05:54] <aaron11> urlin2u: Ok
[05:54] <aaron11> urlin2u: Lemmy try that
[05:55] <urlin2u> aaron11, post it I'm not a nvidia person but many others are.
[05:55] <dr_willis> aaron11:  whats the exact nvidia chipset in use?
[05:55] <aaron11> urlin2u: May I private message it to you?
[05:55] <aaron11> dr_willis: Its not nvidia
[05:55] <aaron11> its intel
[05:56] <urlin2u> aaron11, I doubt it will help this s not an area I'm even close to knowing.
[05:56] <urlin2u> is
[05:56] <dr_willis> that is odd with intel.  Normally nomodeset is not needed.
[05:56] <urlin2u> radeon is at times
[05:57] <fermulator> aaron11: please paste output of "sudo lshw -C video"
[05:57] <aaron11> fermulator: one sec lemmy try that
[05:57] <fermulator> aaron11: into pastebin http://pastebin.com/
[05:58] <fermulator> aaron11: as well as, "dpkg --list | grep nvidia"
[05:58] <urlin2u> aaron11, this is this user info   00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[05:58] <aaron11> fermulator: http://pastebin.com/vixUHaLX
[05:58] <aaron11> urlin2u: You told me to type that
[05:59] <aaron11> urlin2u: lspci | grep VGA
[05:59] <fermulator> aaron11: yeah, Intel video card, not nVidia
[05:59] <urlin2u> aaron11, yeah , just need the channel to se.
[05:59] <urlin2u> I guessed nvidia
[06:00] <aaron11> urlin2u fermulator : How can I fix this?

[06:01] <aaron11> I think I saw a forum post with the exact laptop as me and same prob
[06:01] <aaron11> fermulator: Ill check that out
[06:02] <uns0b1ll> how to view which interface on nic is occupied by cat6 cord ?
[06:03] <moose-machine> hi everyone. i need some help with tethering my iphone 4 via bluetooth. it was working fine till it suddenly stopped doing so.
[06:03] <aaron11> fermulator: Wait, will this be effective if I do it on LiveCD?
[06:03] <fermulator> uns0b1ll: in a terminal, run the command "ifconfig", it will list all of your interfaces, you're looking for "UP"
[06:04] <fermulator> aaron11: not persistent, no. once you add the PPA, and install the driver, .... hmmm ... how to reload without restarting ...
[06:04] <aaron11> fermulator: So I should boot into hard drive and how do I get a terminal?
[06:05] <aaron11> or how do I even connect to the internet?
[06:05] <aaron11> How do I get nomodeset mode in HDD
[06:05] <aaron11> Too many questions sorry :S
[06:05] <fermulator> aaron11: you should be able to choose "recovery mode" (hold escape before booting, it will prompt u)
[06:05] <fermulator> aaron11: once you're in, CTRL+ALT+F1 should get you to a raw terminal (no gui)
[06:05] <aaron11> I try that
[06:05] <uns0b1ll> fermulator,  all display UP
[06:05] <uns0b1ll> but only one cord is plugged in
[06:05] <fermulator> uns0b1ll: do some say "no carrier"?
[06:06] <uns0b1ll> no all up
[06:06] <aaron11> fermulator: I tried that but it just the same black screen
[06:06] <aaron11> fermulator: How can I boot into nomodeset mode in hard drive?

[06:07] <dr_willis> !nomodeset
[06:08] <uns0b1ll> second question - is there any1 setting up dynamips lab on ubuntu ?
[06:08] <fermulator> aaron11: it should, the instructions vs. what you actually see on the screen might be a wee bit different
[06:08] <aaron11> Thx dr_willis
[06:08] <dr_willis> its a simple option to enable to test. :)  boot to grub menu, hit 'e' i think  change 'quiet splash' to be 'nomodeset'
[06:08] <fermulator> uns0b1ll: pastebin it
[06:08] <dr_willis> theni think its f10 to boot the changed boot entry
[06:08] <soreau> dr_willis: not ctrl+x anymore?
[06:08] <uns0b1ll> fermulator, its just ifconfig output - all interfaces UP state without any cords plugged in to them
[06:08] <dr_willis> Ive not had touse nomodeset on my 11.10 test system. :)  used to need it all the time on the older releases.
[06:09] <dr_willis> soreau:  i think either work
[06:09] <soreau> oh ok
[06:09] <soreau> dr_willis: What gpu are you testing with?
[06:10] <calmpitbull> ok how to get brcm80211 drivers
[06:10] <dr_willis> soreau:  3 differnt nvidia;s and an ati. used to need nomodeset to install  with the nvidia systems.  havent needed to in the beta
[06:10] <uns0b1ll> under freebsd i remember converting windows driver
[06:10] <soreau> ! broadcom | calmpitbull
[06:10] <uns0b1ll> but this is ubuntu so i dontknow
[06:10] <soreau> dr_willis: oh cool
[06:11] <soreau> dr_willis: Ive never needed nomodeset with my radeon.. went to kms when it first came out and never looked back
[06:11] <fermulator> uns0b1ll: hmmmm. ... AH, here it is, look for "RUNNING" vs. not
[06:11] <fermulator> uns0b1ll: sorry, took me a while to see that
[06:11] <calmpitbull> ubottu: thx ill check it there
[06:12] <calmpitbull> ubottu: he he
[06:12] <firegas> I need some help with my CD drive
[06:12] <firegas> it is not being recognized
[06:12] <uns0b1ll> fermulator, np - odd thing is 4 interfaces Running
[06:12] <soreau> firegas: Is it recognized in your system bios?
[06:12] <firegas> The idea is 5 gallons of gasoline+fireants = great drink?

[06:12] <fermulator> uns0b1ll ... there's GOT to be a difference there, LoL; i'm looking at mine, and I have 2 interfaces, one is plugged in, only one says running
[06:12] <soreau> -_-
[06:12] <uns0b1ll> i have total of 12 interfaces on 4 nic cards - i would guess this 4 interfaces on single NIC card - they all running

[06:13] <fermulator> uns0b1ll: server?
[06:13] <uns0b1ll> fermulator, something like that
[06:13] <calmpitbull> ubottu: problem is that i was on this page and i can't download new firmware

[06:14] <uabn93> hi, can anyone help me hide all files between separate users....or is there a link anyone can point me to that talks about user ids and managing groups?
[06:14] <uns0b1ll> wildbat, :) need them for one project
[06:14] <uns0b1ll> wildbat, once i pass it - u can have it
[06:14] <uns0b1ll> :P
[06:15] <calmpitbull> can anybody help me to get bcms80211 driver working
[06:15] <urlin2u> calmpitbull, this one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[06:15] <wildbat> uabn93: you don't hide them ~ you limit the access of it ~ read man chmod / chown.
[06:16] <uns0b1ll> calmpitbull, have u tried converting from windows ? when i was on freebsd 7 i think that was the only way for me :D

[06:17] <uns0b1ll> no out the box ?
[06:17] <fermulator> nope

[06:17] <dr_willis> !info ifplugstatus
[06:17] <uns0b1ll> i want to find way to see that current on the nic interface
[06:17] <fermulator> uns0b1ll: ifstatus is a regular command (in unix at least), but for some reason Ubuntu Linux doesn't include it
[06:18] <dr_willis> !find ifplugstatus
[06:18] <MeirD> Is it possible to easily downgrade from Ubuntu 11.04?
[06:18] <dr_willis> theres ethtool
[06:18] <abhilash> I have a very basic doubt in PHP, can anyone help ?
[06:18] <uns0b1ll> bl;ah

[06:18] <fermulator> uns0b1ll: why are you reluctant to install a package? :/ -- you can't expect a distro that fits on a CD to have /every/ package we'll ever need :-)
[06:18] <MeirD> thnx
[06:19] <uabn93> i just wanted to make sure i had everything set before trying out Prey for my laptop
[06:21] <fermulator> uns0b1ll: "ifconfig -s" kind of gives you a better "eyeball" way to see differences between interfaces, but I still see that you have 4x "RUNNING", which is weird if you only have one cable plugged in
[06:21] <fermulator> (tabular output)
[06:22] <uns0b1ll> could it be bug ?

[06:27] <fermulator> kk
[06:27] <dr_willis> depending on the output. :)
[06:27] <rww> I'd say anything over 2, but I'm a bit...
[06:27] <dr_willis> i dident see much need to paste what you pasted at all.. really.
[06:27] <fermulator> true, useless paste I guess
[06:28] <fermulator> it's late at night for me, I'm no longer thinking heh 2:30AM
[06:28] <uns0b1ll> fermulator, letme see
[06:29] <fermulator> uns0b1ll: in answer to your question if this is a bug? ... I think maybe it is.  Why doesn't ifconfig show the "link status" of an interface?  It does in UNIX, not sure why it doesn't in Linux Ubuntu
[06:29] <zHammeRz> fermulator, it is annoying..I had to install ethtools same as you to get the info
[06:30] <uns0b1ll> yea oh well as long as it wont affect my lab enviroment
[06:30] <dr_willis> how often do you even need to get link status? you seeing if the dog chewed up the cable?
[06:31] <zHammeRz> no, make sure it's at full duplex when your doing gigabit tuning to get more speed
[06:31] <uns0b1ll> its not critical but nix* more serious when it comes to this type of stuff
[06:31] <dr_willis> I thought ethtool showed the duplex.. but im not on a linux box right now to check
[06:32] <uns0b1ll> dr_willis, it shows duplex
[06:32] <zHammeRz> he does, he was asking about ifconfig
[06:32] <zHammeRz> *it
[06:32] <subh> hi plz anybody help me to use library libcap libnet and openssl
[06:32] <dr_willis> subh:  thats a bit of a broad question.
[06:32] <uns0b1ll> any way to see if my nic supports 1gpbs ?
[06:33] <subh> i am working on prevention of ARP cache poisoning
[06:33] <zHammeRz> uns0b1ll, check the model #, for me I consulted my motherboard mfg.
[06:33] <subh> so i need to write code
[06:33] <subh> so where should start
[06:33] <uns0b1ll> hm
[06:34] <zHammeRz> but ethtool will also tell you supported link speeds
[06:34] <subh> i don't know how to use such libraries
[06:34] <subh> can u give me link for examples where i can learn
[06:34] <fermulator> dr_willis, uns0b1ll, zHammeRz: I've submitted this question to Linux Forums: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux/182551-why-doesnt-ifconfig-display-link-status-carrier-status.html#post860270
[06:35] <uns0b1ll> fermulator, sweetz
[06:35] <zHammeRz> best of luck fermulator
[06:35] <uns0b1ll> ethtool showed eth as full duplex and 100mb/s
[06:35] <uns0b1ll> i guess i cant get 1gpbs out of it
[06:35] <uns0b1ll> oh wel
[06:35] <fermulator> uns0b1ll: yes, ethtool tell syou the capabilities of the NIC
[06:35] <uns0b1ll> funny thing it shows 10mb/s and half duplex for disconnected ports
[06:36] <uns0b1ll> but i love link detected feature. too bad its not build in ;)
[06:36] <fermulator> !info ifconfig
[06:36] <fermulator> !search ifconfig
[06:37] <fermulator> interesting ... what package provides ifconfig ... or built into kernel?

[06:48] <rww> winpipe425: VirtualBox
[06:48] <Gallo> any hope of help on wireless set up in here ...lol   pleas don't kick I'll leave lol
[06:48] <zHammeRz> winpipe425, I used virtualbox
[06:50] <zHammeRz> df
[06:50] <dr_willis> Gallo:  totally depends on the wireless chipset. Most all mine  work out of the box these days
[06:50] <lqgr00ve> which log should i check to see why i'm failing to authenticate?
[06:51] <Gallo> it's an intel
[06:52] <Gallo> pro wireless4965
[06:52] <Gallo> driver =iwl4965
[06:53] <erkan^> Hello, which program can I make a pictogram?
[06:55] <dr_willis> whats a pictogram?
[06:55] <anand__> Is any ubuntu staff around to help me out?
[06:55] <rww> anand__: best to ask your question and see :)
[06:56] <anand__> Hi, I've just installed natty(64bit) via wubi, and have virtually exhausted all possible guides to installing the nvidia drivers the "correct" way..
[06:56] <anand__> I was wondering if someone could help me debug the issue step by step
[06:57] <Myrtti> anand__: er, staff? there is only volunteers
[06:57] <Sterist> can anyone verify for me that the amd64 download is not amd specific?
[06:57] <devish> how could i know that nfs is running where is status thing
[06:57] <devish> ?
[06:57] <Gallo> dmesg was showing ADDRCONF(netdev_up) : wlan0 link is not ready............. can anyone help out a noob lol
[06:57] <dr_willis> Sterist:  its just called that because amd had 64bit first
[06:57] <anand__> Myrtti..yes, and knowledgeable volunteers too :)
[06:57] <dr_willis> Sterist: it works for intel 64bit
[06:57] <bingopajama> alo ha
[06:58] <anand__> anyone?
[06:58] <Sterist> dr_willis i dont doubt you but is there any documented info on that? i tried help.ubuntu.com to no success
[06:58] <moose-machine> hi. can anyone help me regarding tethering for my iphone 4 with ubuntu via bluetooth? it was working fine. but has stopped working all of a sudden.
[06:58] <bingopajama> hey willis do you know anything about the up coming arm cpu technology?
[06:58] <webosnik> hi
[06:58] <bazhang> !ot | bingopajama
[06:59] <bingopajama> hiza!
[06:59] <dr_willis> Sterist:  its just called amd64 because amd had it first.. they could call it Bubba64 i guess. :)
[06:59] <devish> can anyone tell ,how could i know that nfs is running where is its status thing
[06:59] <bingopajama> i was wondering if it supported linux ubuntu
[06:59] <aurilliance> Does anyone know of an application that will display stats of how much internet I have used on my desktop or task bar?
[06:59] <dr_willis> Sterist:  i THINK theres one very rare intel chip that it wont work on.
[07:00] <dr_willis> Sterist:  but i maybe thinking of 32bit vs 64 bit. I think theres one intel chipset that cant do 32bit.
[07:00] <anand__> okay guess no number for jakucha
[07:00] <Sterist> dr_willis like i said, i dont doubr you lol.... i just want to look into why this isn't mentioned in the downloads page as the lack thereof has cause me a lot of trouble
[07:01] <dr_willis> lack of what? the download page suggests 32bit if you dont know what you are doing i recall.
[07:01] <dr_willis> hit up search engine for 'why is 64bit called amd64' perhaps?
[07:01] <rww> 32-bit is "(recommended)" specifically for people who don't know better, yes
[07:02] <dr_willis> i belive ive seen some distros trying to get away from that nameing convention.  but i dont recall which one was doing it.
[07:03] <Gallo> dr_willis can you point me to where to get a good guide on ubuntu wireless setup, or pherhaps help me with this a bit ?

[07:03] <erkan^> Hello, which program can I make a pictogram?
[07:04] <rww> http://rww.name/articles/architecture-lingo O:)
[07:04] <dr_willis> Gallo:  it would all depend on the chipset. theres the wireless wiki page
[07:04] <bazhang> erkan^, whats a pictogram
[07:04] <Gallo> k thanks dr_willis
[07:04] <dr_willis>  "AMD64" is the name chosen by AMD for their 64-bit extension to the Intel x86 instruction set. Before release, it was called "x86-64" or "x86_64",
[07:04] <erkan^> icons, bazhang
[07:05] <dr_willis> a pictogram is an icon?  that seems.. wrong. ;)
[07:05] <erkan^> i'm sorry dr
[07:05] <erkan^> dr_willis,
[07:05] <erkan^> do you understand what i ask?
[07:05] <urlin2u> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pictogram
[07:05] <dr_willis> A pictograph[1], also called pictogram(me), is an ideogram that conveys its meaning through its pictorial resemblance to a physical object.
[07:05] <dr_willis> so... its an image...
[07:06] <dr_willis> :)
[07:06] <urlin2u> GIMP?
[07:06] <erkan^> GIMP is big
[07:06] <erkan^> simple software?
[07:06] <dr_willis> you are asking how to make an image file.. theres dozens of images editors out there
[07:06] <aurilliance> Does anyone know of an application that will display stats of how much internet I have used on my desktop or task bar?
[07:07] <dr_willis> !info mtpaint
[07:07] <erkan^> yes
[07:07] <sysop3>  I could not get the installer to let me setup a software raid.  so I booted to a live cd setup the raid then boot to the server cd and boom I can setup software raid
[07:07] <sysop3> wierd
[07:07] <namoamitabuddha> IS THERE ANYONE USING LIGHTDM?
[07:07] <erkan^> ok thx
[07:07] <urlin2u> aurilliance, you can find pre-made conkies.
[07:07] <dr_willis> theres prob. a dozen other image editors/paint apps in the repos.
[07:07] <bazhang> namoamitabuddha, no caps
[07:07] <namoamitabuddha> bazhang: ok
[07:08] <dr_willis> namoamitabuddha:  and you may want to ask the actual question. Not 'who uses what...'
[07:08] <Gallo> dr_willis hmm why amd 64 fact, lol for my wireless problem Gallo = noob to linux....
[07:08] <namoamitabuddha> Does lightdm support for switching users?
[07:10] <dr_willis> namoamitabuddha:  install it, try it and see?  i never use switching users feature of any of the Xdms
[07:10] <dr_willis> its homepage may state its features also
[07:10] <namoamitabuddha> dr_willis: I've installed but I have no idea to switch users.
[07:10] <dr_willis> menu item on it screen if it supports it.. it might not.
[07:11] <dr_willis> http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/LightDM/Design  says it supports it namoamitabuddha
[07:11] <dr_willis> Supporting multiple simultaneous logins by exposing what users are logged in, and starting new X servers for each user (user switching).
[07:12] <namoamitabuddha> dr_willis: I'll see
[07:17] <Gallo> dr_willis what cmd do i use, to pull up info needed for wireless set on ubuntu?
[07:18] <urlin2u> lspci | grep VGA
[07:18] <nac-godfather> "wireless set" ?
[07:18] <dr_willis> Gallo:  various if* commands like ifconfig or iwconfig - ive rarely needed to do so.
[07:18] <nac-godfather> lspci | grep "802.11"
[07:18] <nac-godfather> that'll give you chipset, unless it's a usb dongle
[07:18] <dr_willis> ive not had to fight with wireless in a few years. :)
[07:18] <Gallo> no usb thnx
[07:19] <nac-godfather> then you look up the driver for the chipset.  Better to find the monitor mode supported (injection) ones
[07:19] <aldos> hi. I have a problem with Totem: I can't seek some mp3s. Any solutions?
[07:19] <devish> Gallo, airmon-ng...;)
[07:19] <nac-godfather> totem itself or the plugin for firefox?
[07:19] <aldos> totem itself
[07:19] <aaron11> Hello. Ive installed 11.04 and now when it finishes with the purple screen it just shows a dark screen. You can tell its working right because you can hear the drum sounds and you can very faintly make out the windows that come up. Im suspecting this has something to do with my backlight, so I need a way to boot into 11.04 without having to shine a flashlight to see. http://pastebin.com/6ZgeEhXD is lspci | grep VGA. I am currently wo
[07:20] <aldos> i am using 64bit version. i don't know if it's a useful info
[07:20] <nac-godfather> wow
[07:20] <wildbat> !nomodeset | aaron11: try this
[07:20] <nac-godfather> yeah
[07:20] <Bum> hi how to place app shrtcuts on the desktop
[07:21] <urlin2u> nac-godfather, uh I guess not its late here ben a long day.
[07:21] <dr_willis> aaron11:  so the plymouth animation works? but the login screen is all dark?
[07:21] <aaron11> wildbat: I know that I can do that, but that just ruins the whole experience
[07:21] <nac-godfather> yeah the nouveau drivers suck ass, not sure why they are the default now.
[07:22] <aldos> no one can help me?
[07:22] <aaron11> dr_willis: well not really but its just a blank purple screen first, then it goes dark and you can see the ubuntu logo in the purple screen then goes into login screen
[07:22] <dr_willis> aaron11:  so you are using an nvidia video chipset?
[07:23] <aaron11> dr_willis: Asked this question here before, maybe you dont remember. Im using intel card
[07:23] <Gallo> intel Corp Pro/Wireless 4965AGN [Kedron] network connection rev. 61
[07:23] <dr_willis> aaron11:  im lucky to rember my own name.
[07:23] <dr_willis> ive never seen a laptop that could go that dark. :)
[07:23] <aaron11> dr_willis: Well it is going dark
[07:23] <dr_willis> aaron11:  the live cd - worked properly?
[07:24] <nac-godfather> yeah, probably the problem is the initial driver detection and set.  You should just use that nomodeset or use the vesa boot, to get it to install, otherwise if it's already installed, completely remove those drivers if the nomodeset works (nouveau).'
[07:24] <wildbat> aldos: the mp3 isn't indexed properly may be? try other player see if like vlc/ mplayer seek?
[07:24] <aaron11> dr_willis: Well, the first boot, no, same problems. Second boot yes, it worked fine. I thought it was just something small that went wrong so I just installed it
[07:24] <urlin2u> aldos, try rhythm box mp3 is audio.
[07:24] <aaron11> :S
[07:24] <aaron11> Stupid mistake
[07:25] <dr_willis> aaron11:  Hmm.. tested a live cd lately?  It would suck if this is actually some hardware issue you are chaseing.
[07:25] <Gallo> does that info help, for setting up wireless ?
[07:25] <nac-godfather> trying to capture a wpa handshake right now devish, fun stuff
[07:25] <aaron11> dr_willis: No, it worked fin in fedora 14
[07:25] <aldos> with rhytmbox and vlc the seeking function works fine
[07:25] <Gallo> driver installed or at least showing is iwl4965
[07:25] <aaron11> dr_willis: Its a similar problem that I experienced with Gnome 3 in Fedora 15
[07:25] <nac-godfather> looking to find other pyrit user's with new nvidia GPU's, maybe we could setup a remote cluster for cracking wpa!
[07:26] <nac-godfather> we could all share.
[07:26] <urlin2u> aldos, totem has its limitations.
[07:26] <paul3> guys, hi, can someone help me with the language issue? please
[07:26] <aaron11> dr_willis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742575
[07:27] <erkan^> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_icon
[07:27] <aaron11> dr_willis: This guy has the same problem, going to try his solution.
[07:27] <Gallo> nac-godfather ?
[07:28] <aldos> no solutions? :(
[07:28] <nac-godfather> hold on, wasn
[07:28] <nac-godfather> paying attention
[07:28] <Gallo> aight
[07:28] <Silent_Samurai> erkan^, I saw the pic and now I'm going to look for Guitar Hero on my Smart-Touch XD
[07:28] <Gallo> intel Corp Pro/Wireless 4965AGN [Kedron] network connection rev. 61
[07:28] <Gallo> driver installed or at least showing is iwl4965
[07:29] <aaron11> dr_willis: It could be the problem with the newest kernels
[07:29] <Gallo> does that info help, for setting up wireless ?
[07:29] <dr_willis> aaron11:  tried  the beta release yet?
[07:29] <aaron11> dr_willis: How can I get an older kernel?
[07:29] <aaron11> dr_willis: The Beta of 11.10?
[07:29] <dr_willis> aaron11:  they are in the repos i belive. ive rarely needed them
[07:29] <nac-godfather> Gallo:  I would suggest following this guide http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=iwlagn&DokuWiki=b3968baeb6cbcf075e80cde04b07d7bd
[07:29] <dr_willis> aaron11:  if it dont work properly. it would be worthit to file a bug befor release
[07:30] <nac-godfather> if ur interested in ever cracking wep and other wireless networks ;)
[07:30] <Gallo> thanx nac-godfather
[07:30] <Gallo> 4sure
[07:30] <devish>   Gallo don't do that
[07:31] <kaushik_> hi all
[07:31] <Gallo> lmao
[07:31] <aaron11> dr_willis: hmm... im going to reboot with the changes ive made to the rc.local. If it doesnt work ill come back.
[07:31] <aaron11> brb
[07:31] <nac-godfather> Gallos, if you're looking for a easy install, you could probably check restricted drivers manager, if it's still included or download (jockey)
[07:31] <Gallo> I'll start with my own lol
[07:31] <kaushik_> has anyone  worked on linuxfromscratch.com
[07:31] <excelsior1979> so I'm attempting to burn an iso (11.04) and it won't burn. It says 195 hours left to go. But the title bar says "Burning Disc (100% Done)", below that, "Burning image to DVD", below that time bar, below that "Creating image checksum" and then the cancel button. I'm considering hitting that button.
[07:32] <Gallo> heh, looking to learn linux well
[07:32] <nac-godfather> just eject it (force) and see if it works, or check the checksum afterwards to confirm it worked.
[07:32] <nac-godfather> probably won't though, from my experience
[07:32] <nac-godfather> maybe a scratch?
[07:32] <excelsior1979> maybe.
[07:32] <nac-godfather> or use a different burning program (brasero) or whatever
[07:33] <excelsior1979> I think I am using brasero
[07:33] <nac-godfather> k3b was awesome but I'm running gnome now.  if you're kde, give it a shot
[07:33] <nac-godfather> you could still use it, but I don't mix apps like that
[07:33] <excelsior1979> straight ubuntu
[07:33] <excelsior1979> gnome
[07:34] <excelsior1979> 10.10
[07:34] <nac-godfather> yeah, me too, I use brasero or nautilus
[07:34] <nac-godfather> sometimes discs are just finnicky
[07:34] <excelsior1979> you can burn iso's in nautilus?
[07:35] <nac-godfather> maybe erase it a couple times or maybe use mac os x's disk utility to zero it out.  I think there might be a linux solution, but not sure
[07:35] <nac-godfather> i'm not sure about iso's I'd have to look.
[07:35] <urlin2u> excelsior1979, hey you got installed eh.
[07:36] <nac-godfather> "Nautilus can also burn ISO DVD and CD images. Just insert a blank DVD or CD disk and then drag to ISO disk image file to a blank CD/DVD icon"

[07:39] <excelsior1979> nevermind\
[07:40] <excelsior1979> I tried $ eject
[07:40] <excelsior1979> worked
[07:40] <Guest34211> is hddtemp installed by default in natty?
[07:41] <excelsior1979> so how do I check the disk for errors?
[07:41] <damno> is there any pdf viewer plugin for FF other than adobe's?
[07:41] <AwwwCrap> I'm trying to use joy2key in a script, but the next command (for the emulator) doesn't start because joy2key doesn't quit... how do I start a command line process as a standalone, in a bash script
[07:41] <AwwwCrap> ?
[07:41] <yagoo> excelsior1979, check the filesystem? ( a disk can contain many partitions -- which contain different filesystems)
[07:42] <yagoo> excelsior1979, e2fsck (an offline filesystem)
[07:42] <damno> is there any pdf viewer plugin for FF other than adobe's?
[07:42] <Gallo> nac-godfather, Well....airmon -ng start wlan0, gives me the same results as on the link you suggested , but....am I suppose to have PID 1349 dhcpclient3 in there ?
[07:43] <AwwwCrap> excelsior1979: best do do it from a live session so that the scan target isn't mounted
[07:43] <yagoo> damno, probably evince..
[07:43] <trickyj> screen -d
[07:43] <damno> yagoo: evince has a ff plugin??
[07:43] <Gallo> nac-godfather, you looking in ?
[07:44] <yagoo> damno, a plugin may be mentioned in the descriptions, if u search for "pdf" keyword in the pacakage manager
[07:44] <nac-godfather> Galla, did you already install the drivers and get it working?  airmon-ng is probably to check injection support and monitor mode.
[07:45] <damno> yagoo: nope.no plugin coming up for evince in synaptic
[07:45] <Gallo> nac-godfather, actually...hmm can i pm you a sec?
[07:46] <nac-godfather> sure if you get this, computer is freezing upsu
[07:46] <yagoo> damno, i don't think there is any alternate.. other than the pdf will open in a separate window outside FF..
[07:46] <excelsior1979> how do I check an install dvd I just burned for errors?
[07:47] <xiaotuyi> 有人在吗
[07:47] <damno> yagoo: hmm.. a plugin for inbrowser viewing like chrome would've been good. anyway , thanks.
[07:47] <coolgoose> hi guys, I'm running ubuntu 11.10 and i was wondering if soembody knows how to modify the timeout in gtk3 for the small "filter" box that appears when you start typing in a list / nautilus folder (in 2.x it stays up a lot, in 3.0 it acts more like kde in the way that you can almost only have 1 letter a a time)

[07:54] <yagoo> OmniscientTools, there's a widely known one, it's pretty mucvh in all linux distros (search package manager --i'm sure u'll see it)
[07:54] <travis_> OmniscientTools: gnome-dictionary
[07:55] <elky> xiaotuyi, you need to use english here. there are channels with other languages though. #ubuntu-cn or #ubuntu-tw
[07:55] <travis_> i believe that's the package name
[07:55] <xiaotuyi> #ubunto -cn
[07:55] <xiaotuyi> #ubuntu -cn
[07:56] <xiaotuyi> byebye
[07:56] <yagoo> travis_, there's always the base system.. u can always see what's installed with the package manager
[07:56] <xiaotuyi> i am going to study
[07:56] <Whitesquall> xiaotuyi: /join #ubuntu-cn
[07:57] <xiaotuyi> bye  robotti
[07:57] <travis_> yagoo: what section is it?
[07:57] <OmniscientTools> I'm looking for a dictionary that doesn't require internet
[07:57] <travis_> lol you're never gonna get out of here if you keep typing "#ubuntu -c"
[07:57] <yagoo> travis_, should be in the menu.. one of the modes should show checkmars for whats already insatlled
[07:57] <dr_willis> a dictionary to do what exctly?
[07:57] <xiaotuyi> 嘿嘿
[07:57] <OmniscientTools> dr_willis, umm to look at words
[07:58] <dr_willis> spelling? definitions?
[07:58] <dr_willis> one to use as a password cracker?
[07:58] <OmniscientTools> i guess both mainly definitions
[07:58] <yagoo> dr_willis, dictionaries tell stories. It's interesting to read 'em just for fun i guess..
[07:58] <excelsior1979> how do i blank a disk and rewrite it

[07:59] <dr_willis> yagoo:  i never said i dident know.
[08:00] <yagoo> dr_willis, that's not ubuntu defined. HAHAHAH
[08:00] <yagoo> dr_willis, look up your proper dictionary.
[08:00] <dr_willis> Your question was vague.
[08:00] <dr_willis> :)
[08:00] <yagoo> dr_willis, it's a philosophy.. look -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu
[08:01] <yagoo> dr_willis, bet u didnt know that!
[08:01] <dr_willis> yagoo:  i wrote it.. :P
[08:01] <travis_> the thing is, im not using ubuntu but im writing the documentation for an app...
[08:01] <yagoo> dr_willis, that's what dictionaries are for!
[08:01] <urlin2u> yagoo, found the path to get evince to open pdfs in FF.
[08:01] <dr_willis> travis_:  :) thats interesting job you got.
[08:01] <yagoo> urlin2u, u changed aliases?
[08:01] <travis_> do i have to install ubuntu in a virtual machine to get a list of the preinstalled files
[08:01] <yagoo> urlin2u, thought u said u trying googlechrome.. but dunno if linux version has pdf support
[08:02] <dr_willis> travis_:  a list of ALL files/packges? or just the main tools instgalled?
[08:02] <urlin2u> yagoo, no I thiought the other user had not figured it out
[08:02] <yagoo> urlin2u, he said he's trying googlechrome.. but dont think the latest linux edition has pdf embed support..
[08:02] <zakwilson> Chrome on Linux has PDF support.
[08:02] <dr_willis> travis_:  since it can change from release to release.. or even with some updates after the initial install.
[08:02] <yagoo> zakwilson, thanks..
[08:02] <yagoo> i'll check that out sometime later in the week :)
[08:02] <yagoo> zakwilson, good stuff..
[08:02] <travis_> dr_willis: u mean writing the manual for an app that's going to be used on os 1
[08:02] <travis_> but writng it using os 2?
[08:03] <yagoo> (i'm sick and tired of relying on adobe/sometimes slow pdf rendering)
[08:03] <travis_> i mean is that what you thought was interesting?
[08:03] <dr_willis> travis_:  yep.  why does this apps manual need a list of all installed apps?
[08:03] <urlin2u> yagoo, no I just installed mozplugger and changed applications in FF to use /user/bin/evince    adobe is a pain.
[08:04] <travis_> well i just need to know if 1 app is installed by defualt right now
[08:04] <yagoo> travis_, your goals here sound very trivial.. u can list ur insatlled packages simply with-> dpkg -l
[08:04] <dr_willis> travis_:  what app? the bot can tell us.
[08:04] <rokra> Need help on 11.10, not able to apt-get install anymore : dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable
[08:04] <urlin2u> yagoo, thanks for the idea I had not thought of using another reader.
[08:04] <travis_> yagoo: i know, sort of. i just dont want to look stupid telling users to do an apt-get install when the app is already installed
[08:04] <travis_> hddtemp
[08:04] <yagoo> urlin2u, alternate readers is not a problem.. i think he wants a "plugin"..
[08:04] <dr_willis> !info hddtemp
[08:05] <dr_willis> its 'extra' so not installed by default. :)
[08:05] <dr_willis> but it dosent hurt to tell them how to install it anyway.
[08:05] <travis_> you don't think so?
[08:06] <dr_willis> some variants could have it by default. or theuser installing other apps could pull it in.
[08:06] <dr_willis> !info bash
[08:06] <travis_> i mean, seriuosly, im asking because this is my first time writing tech docs
[08:06] <dr_willis> 'is extra' means to me its not installed by default.
[08:06] <travis_> no, i know that
[08:06] <dr_willis> Ibelive the terms are 'standard' 'required' 'extra'
[08:06] <travis_> i mean, you think i should throw that in the manual just to be sage
[08:07] <travis_> *safee
[08:07] <dr_willis> of course... its trivial to tell them how to install it.
[08:07] <Doomtron> Hello guys, I'm trying to block a user from seeing the processes(?) of another user, I tried creating one group for each user, but the permissions are 555 for all pid's in /proc, so there is another way to do that ? i did some search, but didnt found anything relevant.
[08:07] <travis_> thats true,
[08:07] <travis_> and too much info is better than not enough
[08:08] <dr_willis> plus its not aparently installed by default.. so they will need to install it. :)
[08:09] <travis_> they should put that extra/standard/required stuff on packages.ubuntu.com description
[08:09] <travis_> right
[08:09] <livio> ciao
[08:09] <dr_willis> ive rarely ever looked at that site. :)
[08:09] <excelsior1979> goodnight good guy.
[08:09] <dr_willis> im not even sure where the bot is getting that info from
[08:09] <travis_> lol
[08:09] <yagoo> dr_willis, for u man->"Nelson Mandela explains the concept of Ubuntu" (video on top of page) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28philosophy%29
[08:09] <travis_> maybe apt-cache type thing
[08:10] <dr_willis> yagoo:  thrilling...
[08:10] <yagoo> lol
[08:10] <yagoo> maybe he uses ubuntu linux..
[08:10] <urlin2u> I doubt that
[08:10] <dr_willis> he prob has a iPAD.
[08:10] <yagoo> dr_willis, u think mandela may have anything to do with ubuntu linux?
[08:10] <yagoo> lol
[08:12] <urlin2u> Ubuntu the word and concept is a misappropriated ideal by an anglo, colonialism has a long history with Africa.
[08:13] <travis_> !info misappropriated
[08:13] <ComradeHaz`> Hey all, I am finding that 'hot connecting' a SATA drive does not work in that the drive is not detected until a reboot. I have this issue on 10.04 and 11.04 and have tried on at least 3 different computers. Can anyone assist with getting this working, please?
[08:13] <yagoo> urlin2u, i find it funny i see mandela on that definition page.. sort of reminds me that Richard Stallman.. the great philosopher of OSS movement
[08:13] <ComradeHaz`> (Or at least tell me a work-around)
