[15:13] <german> how can i configure that?
[15:13] <zjbpku> how to use tweak?
[15:13] <boldfilter> xubuntu-desktop bugweed
[15:13] <ziggyfish> quick question, how do I restart IP tables in ubuntu? I need to do some complicated firewall changes, that I can't do with ufw
[15:13] <bekks> german: there is no 10.11 - do you mean 11.10?
[15:13] <bugweed> LSymonds: that is not actually what i need.
[15:13] <elgaton> zjbpku: Do you mean GNOME Tweak tool?
[15:13] <bugweed> boldfilter: does it support compiz, etc?
[15:13] <german> 11.10 sorry
[15:13] <zjbpku> yes
[15:14] <boldfilter> I am not sure
[15:14] <Guest61030> brjannc: I get the same error for each one separately, too
[15:14] <brjannc> codehotter_: oh -- you may have to put it in ~/.bashrc rather than ~/.bash_profile -- sorry
[15:14] <codehotter_> brb
[15:14] <brjannc> Guest61030: that is... strange. one moment
[15:15] <elgaton> zjbpku: Install it from the terminal (sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool) and run it with gnome-tweak-tool from the terminal
[15:15] <zjbpku> thank you i have to sleep,tomorrow is busy.
[15:15] <bekks> german: And you want to configure what exactly?
[15:15] <zjbpku> thank you !
[15:15] <zjbpku> i got it
[15:15] <german> im trying to set it fast as it was
[15:16] <elgaton> zjbpku: You're welcome :)
[15:16] <pwnguin> Any idea why my clock applet/widget/indicator isn't showing the time in unity?
[15:16] <german> i want to switch off glass efect, and whatever is making desktop switching slow
[15:17] <dr_willis> glass effect? iswent that whats windows 7 has? :)
[15:17] <dr_willis> german:  install/use ccsm and disable effects you dont like perhaps.
[15:17] <himitsu> Is there a way to make sure my hard drive is detected?
[15:17] <dr_willis> !ccsm
[15:17] <german> yes, in search menu
[15:17] <Tixos> hi, can someone tell me if i can install older ubuntu Catalyst builds on 11.10 ?
[15:18] <brjannc> Guest61030: Ugh, bad news, from one of the ubuntu bug reports. Apparently libc6 is special and pretty much refuses to reinstall. Try the :amd64 and :i386 stuff with the other libraries?
[15:18] <brjannc> Guest61030: (it would be pretty unlikely that something's wrong with libc, anyway, otherwise nothing would work ;) )
[15:20] <lubos> hello
[15:20] <lubos> I am czech republic
[15:21] <elgaton> lubos: Do you need support in Czech?
[15:23] <zastaph> If I format a hdd to Ext4 i practically did a fsck at the same time right?
[15:23] <vooze> Is it at all not possible to burn a iso image (windows7) to a usb-drive from linux?
[15:24] <bekks> Yes.
[15:24] <Tixos> any ubuntu staff in ?
[15:25] <boldfilter> ya, sup
[15:25] <compdoc> you want to lodge a complaint?
[15:25] <dr_willis> vooze:  if you are refering to putting a 11.10 iso on a usb.. you can use the dd command to image it to a usb.
[15:25] <Tixos> i want an answer to the question ive been asking for 3 days lol
[15:25] <dr_willis> vooze:  theres alternative tools to convert an iso to a bootable usb setup
[15:25] <boldfilter> nah jk
[15:25] <Tixos> about catalyst builds not working in 11.10
[15:25] <compdoc> Tixos, have you tried the mailing list?
[15:25] <vooze> dr_willis: no, i want to "burn" a WINDOWS iso to usb, from my ubuntu
[15:25] <vooze> for dualboot
[15:25] <bekks> vooze: Yes, thats possible.
[15:25] <Guest61030> brjannc: well I was able to reinstall everything except libc6, libgcc1, libstdc++6 and libgl1-mesa-glx
[15:25] <dr_willis> vooze:   ive heard that windows 7 can be imaged to a usb with dd also.
[15:25] <elz89> vooze: try unetbootin
[15:26] <dr_willis> vooze:  other windows versions.. i dont think so. go ask in #windows about them
[15:26] <Tixos> compdoc: no, i was hoping i could get an answer here
[15:26] <elz89> might also need that thing that came after BartPE, but I don't care for that stuff these days ;-)
[15:26] <dr_willis> unetbootin does not do windows last i checked..
[15:27] <elz89> dr_willis: not without a little pixie dust, no.
[15:27] <Tixos> dr_willis: do you have any idea how i can get hold of older proprietary drivers that Jockey provides?
[15:27] <bekks> dr_willis: btw thats not "burning" but just doing something with an usb ;)
[15:27] <Tixos> instead of the latest i want an older version
[15:27] <dr_willis> bekks:  most likely, you cant..
[15:27] <dr_willis> bekks:  you would have to get the driver/installer from the company web site i imagine.
[15:27] <dr_willis> if its not in the repos.. then jocky wont see/know about it.
[15:28] <bekks> dr_willis: ack.
[15:28] <Guest61030> brjannc: Is there a way to build a package from source using apt-get -b that includes the debugging symbols?
[15:28] <brjannc> Guest61030: Okay, I wouldn't worry about the first three. For the mesa-glx lib, here's a workaround (ignore the mesa-dri package): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/859188/comments/16
[15:28] <dr_willis> same for Tixos  - if you want an older ati driver. you would most likely need to try the installer from the ati web site.
[15:28] <Tixos> but dr_willis there are many reasons ubuntu devs build them for the OS
[15:29] <Tixos> so its this package i want to use
[15:29] <Tixos> they must be around somewhere?
[15:29] <dr_willis> Tixos:  there might be ppa's of older ones..
[15:29] <ssta> Guest61030: often there's a target in debian/rules that leaves debug symbols in.  If not then you can probably edit it and create one
[15:29] <bekks> Tixos: Yes, they are - most likely on the mailing lists.
[15:29] <dr_willis> perhaps ask  on  askubuntu.com .
[15:29] <brjannc> Guest61030: I'm sure there is; unfortunately, I don't do any C development on debian-based systems, so I don't know much about apt and building from source. I know occasionally there are -dbg or -debug packages you can install as alternatives
[15:29] <Tixos> grr
[15:31] <elz89> That bug reminded me of a problem I can't fix right now, I get a foreign-arch message on every apt-get install I do, because once I was following some instructions, didn't use common sence, and marked i368 as foreign. It is not on this particular system, so how can I remove this entry?
[15:31] <himitsu> [18:17] <himitsu> Is there a way to make sure my hard drive is detected?
[15:31] <Guest61030> brjannc: okay I tried what you suggested for the libgl1-mesa-glx package and reinstalled everything that I could and it still doesn't work
[15:31] <Guest61030> urgh
[15:31] <Guest61030> ssta: how might I do that?
[15:31] <brjannc> Guest61030: after reinstalling that many libraries, you'll probably need to reboot before you can adequately test
[15:31] <Guest61030> Okay I will reboot then
[15:33] <ssta> Guest52887: don't use -b, just "apt-get source foo", then go to the debian/ directory and have a look in the rules file (it's a makefile).  LOok and see if there's a debug target.  If so then you can "debian/rules <whatever the debug target is called>"
[15:34] <BrixSat> hello i need help setting up this Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)
[15:34] <gladosv2> hi guys, when I use 'shutdown' from the menu I have to use it twice and even then it doesn't shut down completely, same with using the shutdown/halt command, it gets stuck just before really shutting down
[15:35] <himitsu> [18:17] <himitsu> Is there a way to make sure my hard drive is detected?
[15:35] <dr_willis> BrixSat:  every time ive ever seen someone mention 'SiS' and linux together.. its rarely good...
[15:35] <BrixSat> dr_willis:  well i supose, i just want to chage the screne resolution to something other then 800*600
[15:36] <brjannc> gladosv2: Any text on the screen while it's hung?
[15:37] <gladosv2> brjannc: quite a lot, but mostly gambled, like starting/stopping services etc
[15:37] <brjannc> gladosv2: does it stop at any particular service that you can tell?
[15:37] <karan> hi
[15:37] <gladosv2> can't really tell I'm afraid brjannc
[15:37] <Guest75461> hi brjannc, unfortunately, the same behavior persists :(
[15:38] <brjannc> gladosv2: Okay. Know how to edit a kernel boot line in the grub menu? We can turn quiet and splash off temporarily, and hope that clears things up a bit so you can see what it's doing
[15:38] <karan> i'm having problems with 11.10. i just upgraded from 11.04, and my system is ALOT  slower performing. for example if i try to drag a window it laggs. the performance is really choppy.
[15:38] <nyuszika7h> Hi, virtual tty's look very weird for me even after applying Plymouth fix from Softpedia.
[15:39] <brjannc> Guest75461: Dang. I don't have too many other ideas to try from here, then :\
[15:39] <karan> even simple things such as opening a new tab in chrome  takes about 34seconds
[15:39] <karan> 4 seconds*
[15:39] <Guest75461> ssta: you wrote earlier that there was a way I could install a package that left debug symbols in, how might I do that?
[15:39] <karan> any ideas
[15:39] <ssta> don't use -b, just "apt-get source foo", then go to the debian/ directory and have a look in the rules file (it's a makefile).  LOok and see if there's a debug target.  If so then you can "debian/rules <whatever the debug target is called>"
[15:40] <gladosv2> brjannc: yep, what should I do?
[15:40] <alex-_> Why doesn't ubuntu merges the mail icon and the username in unity?
[15:40] <zeroplusone> mike are you in there
[15:40] <Guest75461> brjannc: That is okay, thanks for your help anyway
[15:42] <karan> someone please help me
[15:42] <nyuszika7h> This is tty1: http://nyuszika7h.dyndns.org/~nyuszika7h/Screenshots/Screenshot%20at%202011-11-13%2015:41:22.png
[15:42] <brjannc> gladosv2: hit 'e' to edit, and the kernel line i believe ends in something like     quiet splash    so remove those two lines, then ... F10 i think? to boot
[15:42] <nyuszika7h> Anyone having ideas how to fix it?
[15:42] <brjannc> gladosv2: ack, not two lines, two *words* :) remove quiet and splash
[15:44] <Newbeeans> My sound card model is the same as this Tutorial: http://shanky.org/2011/09/26/ubuntu-and-hp-touchsmart-sound/ but I cannot get any audio still. Any suggestions?
[15:44] <grkblood> for some reason my laptop hibernates after 10 minutes when plugged up to my television from the hdmi port. why is this?
[15:45] <elz89> Can aanyone help me to remove a foreign-arch flag?
[15:47] <The_BROS> how to kill noise on photos by using gimp?
[15:48] <tsousa> it's possible to install linux 3.1 on ubuntu 11.10?
[15:48] <tsousa> i have a kernel bug that is only fixed on 3.1
[15:48] <Guest75461> ssta: The -g switch in the CFLAGS variable should control whether debug symbols are turned on or not, right?
[15:49] <elgaton> tsousa: try this (not tested personally): http://www.upubuntu.com/2011/11/how-to-install-kernel-31-on-ubuntu.html
[15:49] <clausen> does anyone know an easy way to test if an ssh pub/priv key pair match?
[15:49] <glebihan> !mainline | tsousa
[15:50] <clausen> (I'm getting a weird error msg when using ssh, "Agent admitted failure to sign using the key.")
[15:50] <Atlantic777> What's the lightest video player? Something smaller than vlc and mplayer?
[15:50] <Phoebus> How do I fix a WUBI drive? I tried explore2fs to access it and it doesn't work. Also it does not boot. I want to save some files from it, and reinstall ubuntu on the whole drive instead. Cheers.
[15:50] <alex-_> I have a nice idea; don't show all the bars on all workspaces
[15:50] <elgaton> Phoebus: Try running Ubuntu from a live CD and run fsck.ext2 on the file
[15:51] <brjannc> The_BROS: try #gimp here on freenode, or #gimp-users on irc.gimp.org
[15:51] <salvatore> hi there someone can tell me why empathy is not connecting to msn messenger?
 Thanx!
[15:51] <brjannc> The_BROS: Sure thing :)
[15:52] <Phoebus> elgaton, cheers, will try that next.
[15:52] <Thompson> salvatore: Check internet connection.
[15:52] <elgaton> Phoebus: You're welcome
[15:52] <mxed> salvatore, msn messenger is not allways connecting with orig client either. made 3 accounts some days ago and  2 of them just stoped to work
[15:52] <xangua> salvatore: because microsoft and msn protocol sucks, but latest pidgin and emesene does conect ;)
[15:52] <salvatore> i suppose that if i am here talkin to u internet connection is workin fine
[15:52] <Thompson> xangua: That's right!
[15:53] <salvatore> so?
[15:53] <salvatore> i cannot use msn in my ubuntu?
[15:53] <salvatore> with empathy i mean
[15:53] <mxed> use other messengers. yes you can use msn when it works on serverside
[15:53] <Thompson> salvatore: Try another IM client. Pidgin, aMSN.
[15:53] <dr_willis> if MSN changed their protocalls again... then there needs to be updates for the linux IM clients..
[15:53] <xangua> salvatore: like i said, you can try pidgin or emesene (need to add the ppa to get latest stable)
[15:54] <dr_willis> theres always meebo.com also
[15:54] <salvatore> pk
[15:54] <salvatore> ok
[15:54] <salvatore> tnx
[15:54] <xangua> salvatore: if you want to use it with empathy, there is an alternative solutuiopn, wanna try¿
[15:54] <dr_willis> bbl
[15:54] <xangua> looks like you don't...
[15:55] <Thompson> Hahaha!
[15:55] <asdjaputra> Hohoho!
[15:56] <Newbeeans> Are there any generic sound settings for audio? I tried specific without luck.
[15:56] <MeirD> Hey
[15:56] <EselKniver> Earlier I got "(EE) No devices detected. Fatal server error: no screens found." when trying to startx and similar error messages when trying to start gdm, xdm, lightdm through terminal. All this started when I installed nvidia drivers for my laptop. Now when I boot my computer get stuck and if I open a terminal and manually startx or gdm for example ctrl+alt+f7 just gives me a black screen.
[15:56] <Thompson> The_BROS: Use filters, or GIMP FX Foundry.
[15:56] <MeirD> How can I know the running time of a process?
[15:56] <asdjaputra> MeirD, time
[15:56] <EselKniver> No clue where to continue, taking any and all suggestions
 GIMP FX Foundry. What is it?
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> EselKniver: which gpu?
[15:57] <EselKniver> graphic card is nvidia GT540M
[15:58] <MeirD> time and process id?
[15:58] <brjannc> gladosv2: How's it going?
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> EselKniver: did you install the proprietary nvidia driver?
[15:58] <gladosv2> brjannc: had an urgent phone call coming in, have to handle something first and will check it out later, thank you very much though
[15:58] <brjannc> gladosv2: Oh, no problem. good luck!
[15:59] <gladosv2> thanks :)
[15:59] <EselKniver> ActionParsnip - I have tried installing the ones that Ubuntu suggests, I have tried downloading from nvidias homepage and I have tried apt-get install
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> EselKniver: I suggest you remove all the drivers and reboot to the desktop
[16:00] <unkr> can anyone tell me how to custumise the ubuntu as i want ??
[16:01] <EselKniver> ActionParsnip - apt-get remove --purge nvidia* ?
[16:02] <unkr> can anyone tell mehow to setup up pxeboot server ???
[16:02] <unkr> in ubuntu
[16:03] <pwnguin> anyone know how to replace "time" with the actual time? http://pwnguin.net/albums/v/Misc/Screenshot+at+2011-11-13+10_00_51.png.html
[16:03] <tensorpudding> unkr, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> EselKniver: should work, yeah
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> EselKniver: which nvidia chip do you use?
[16:04] <tensorpudding> unkr, might be somewhat more than you need there
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> unkr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer
[16:04] <unkr> tensorpudding: :) thnx
[16:04] <tensorpudding> unkr, it doesn show you how to setup tftp and pxe on a server
[16:04] <tensorpudding> does*
[16:04] <MeirD> can "ps" have the START TTY with seconds, and miliseconds?
[16:05] <tensorpudding> ignore the nfs part, you just need to set up tftp and dhcp i think for pxe to work
[16:05] <tensorpudding> unless your goal is actually having a thin client
[16:05] <unkr> ActionParsnip: :) thnx
[16:06] <unkr> tensorpudding: r u asking me ??  i dont know how to setup up that
[16:07] <Phoebus> Ok, fixed WUBI, how can I upgrade WUBI to a full install taking over the hdd? And upgrade to the new version. As in what's the beast route to do so?
[16:07] <lcb> Where can i find the list of applications for Software Selection  "Audio recording and editing suite"
[16:07] <pwnguin> ah, good old dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
[16:09] <xangua> Phoebus: the best would be to make a fresh real install, ubuntu with it's own partition
[16:09] <elgaton> Phoebus: Agree with xangua but, if you rellay want to transfer the setup, just hold on a minute, I'm finding a guide
[16:10] <xangua> you mean google for him :/
[16:10] <Phoebus> elgaton, no worries I was about to do what xangua says but was going to check first. At least fixed the virtual partition.
[16:10] <elgaton> Phoebus: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519354
[16:10] <Phoebus> xangua, already googled was just checking for suggestions really.
[16:10] <EselKniver> ActionParsnip don't know how to answer that question unfortunately, and after removing the drivers I can't even access the terminal =D
[16:11] <elgaton> xangua: Sort of - I remembered an old guide I saw some time ago and wanted to find it back
[16:11] <Phoebus> Yeah, moving the files lol.
[16:11] <Phoebus> Thank you a ton again anyway elgaton :)
[16:12] <elgaton> Phoebus: You're welcome (again) :)
[16:12] <Phoebus> elgaton, next q do I send my cc details? :P
[16:13] <elgaton> Phoebus: no, hanging from time to time in the #ubuntu channels and helping solving bugs filed at Launchpad should be enough :P
[16:14] <Phoebus> elgaton, I do that sometimes. But these days I'm stuck in the army serving my mandatory duty.
[16:14] <elgaton> Phoebus: Just try when you have some spare time :)
[16:15] <Phoebus> elgaton, do info on my nickname, been a part of the freenode and previously known as open-something community for a long time m8.
[16:15] <Phoebus> And, I try.
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> EselKniver: if the packages are out you can reboot
[16:17] <elgaton> Phoebus: Sorry if I seemed a bit rude
[16:17] <ubuntu> Currently installing xubuntu 11.10. It says "downloading packages" but it has done so for a long time and it says (147:13 remaining). I tried to click skip, but it didn't do anything. Is there anything I can do?
[16:18] <Phoebus> elgaton, you weren't rude one bit m8 no worries.

[16:22] <mathi> hi
[16:23] <pisto> hi. I have a problem. the ubuntu installer is trying to install all the possible language packs (I know because I checked the command line of the dpkg process la nched by the installer). It's taking ages for every single package. Is this bug known? any wuick workaround?
[16:23] <bekks> Newbeeans: You are running it as root user, as clearly can be seen in your paste.
[16:23] <mathi> for some reason the sound doesn't work on Ubuntu
[16:23] <mathi> can anyone help?
[16:23] <elgaton> pisto: Let me check

[16:24] <Newbeeans> bekks: please see http://pastebin.com/4xrRuzcs
[16:24] <zykotick9_> Newbeeans, everything in that paste suggests you're running gedit as root (with sudo/gksu perhaps?)
[16:24] <Newbeeans> I have the $ sign not #
[16:24] <BluesKaj> mathi, open alsamixer in the terminal and make sure none of the ctrl boxes are muted with an "M" , use the "M" key to unmute and the arrow keys to navigate and increase or decrease the volume
[16:24] <Newbeeans> ActionParsnip: told me a couple weeks ago to not access root to much
[16:25] <bekks> Newbeeans: I did. And in exactly that paste it can be seen that you are running gedit as root user.
[16:25] <harsh343> by mistake i can del my etc folder how can i recover this

[16:29] <Newbeeans> bekks: sorry I'm not trying to anger anyone...I don't really know .... from reading I am suppose to add options snd-hda-intel model=touchsmart to the audio config file
[16:29] <zykotick9_> unkr, debian/ubuntu don't really use runlevels (in the same way other gnu/linux distros do anyways) - what do you want to accomplish?
[16:29] <mathi> BluesKaj, thank you
[16:29] <bekks> Newbeeans: To _which_ file?
[16:30] <Newbeeans> gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[16:30] <unkr> zykotic9: i used fedora before to get into single user  while system booting i use  ESC and edit to grub to goes into single user
[16:30] <dr_willis> you would need  'gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf'
[16:30] <unkr> zykotic9: why this is not happened in ubuntu ??
[16:30] <dr_willis> unkr:  ubuntu has a 'single' option also i thought.
[16:30] <zykotick9_> !tab > unkr
[16:31] <dr_willis> !single
[16:31] <zykotick9_> unkr, dr_willis i think you mean "text"
[16:31] <KittyBunny> !bob > zykotick9_
[16:31] <dr_willis> text mode is not the same as single user mode.
[16:31] <unkr> zykotick9_,  yaa
[16:31] <Newbeeans> dr_willis: thank you I have the text editor portion open but adding the line suggested by the IT gentleman with my audio card doesn't solve my no sound issue. I did save  but no change
[16:31] <dr_willis> you could also try the 'init=/bin/bash' trick also.
[16:32] <dr_willis> Newbeeans:  you did reboot after making the change?
[16:32] <bekks> Newbeeans: Save it, then restart your computer.

[16:37] <bekks> Newbeeans: Thats not an Error, but a Warning.
[16:38] <BluesKaj> Newbeeans, make sure your audio module is listed as 'options snd_nameofmodule index=0' in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf . This setting makes the audio module for your card the system wide default or Card 0 . To find the right module do. 'cat /proc/asound/modules', then do, 'sudo modprobe snd_nameofmodule' , then 'sudo alsa force-reload
[16:38] <unkr> zykotick9_, sorry about pm

[16:47] <elgaton> tazzer: Also, agree with bekks - did someone else change it?
[16:48] <darkknightcz> hi, does someone have some experience with two ip adresses (with different gateway and dns) on one network card?
[16:48] <bekks> darkknightcz: I guess there are people having experience with that.
[16:48] <bekks> darkknightcz: But please just ask your question.
[16:49] <darkknightcz> bekks: ok, so how? :)
[16:49] <tazzer> nope i went to change the password and i might have accidentally cleared the input field and put something in but now i dont know what to do i tried to do everything on  http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword but i get an error
[16:49] <BluesKaj> ok Newbeeans , run lspci | grep audio ,and psatebin the otput pls
[16:49] <bekks> darkknightcz: "how" isnt a valid question at that point. What exactly do you want to do, what is your approach, where are you stuck at?

[16:52] <BluesKaj> just type , lspci | grep audio , Newbeeans
[16:52] <zykotick9_> tazzer, did you happen to change your computer name (aka host name)?
[16:52] <bekks> darkknightcz: Du to the concept of IP, you cannot setup more than one default gateway.
[16:52] <tazzer> no it was still the same
[16:53] <marko> Iḿ trying to get a package update from oneiric-proposed. I have ticked the box in USC, but update manager does not show any updates.
[16:53] <bekks> And the DNS servers are system-wide, and not related to any network interface.
[16:53] <Newbeeans> BluesKaj: I asked because lspci | grep audio just takes me back to my user prompt
[16:53] <darkknightcz> bekks: aand thats exactly what i want to know :), i know that about dns, but i cannot use internal dns for one ip on another... thanks
[16:54] <tazzer> is there a way that i could give another user a root password and copy my files from there so that i could delete my account and start a new

[16:57] <Newbeeans> BluesKaj: takes me back to my name again
[16:57] <Newbeeans> not info
[16:58] <tazzer> jrib:wouldnt i need the root password?
[16:58] <bekks> tazzer: There is no root password on Ubuntu.
[16:58] <gredja> hi
[16:58] <jrib> tazzer: stop saying root password.  You just need another account who can sudo
[16:58] <bekks> tazzer: You have to use sudo, which requires the _user_ password.
[16:58] <tazzer> ok so how do i set that up
[16:58] <bekks> tazzer: You just have been told.
[16:58] <jrib> tazzer: and you're really just giving a user the ability to sudo, not "root access"
[16:59] <Deadmeow> My Document Viewer make my system hang
[16:59] <Deadmeow> It just stops responding
[16:59] <tazzer> ok thanks how do i give it the ability to sudo

[16:59] <bekks> tazzer: You have been told...
[16:59] <bekks> 1113 175727 < jrib> tazzer: create a new user and add him to the admin group
[17:00] <tazzer> yes i am asking how to make a new user and how to add him to the admin group
[17:00] <Evil_One_> jrib: sudo gpasswd -a username admin
[17:00] <Vertt> Win !
[17:00] <jrib> tazzer: you can use the « users-admin » gui as a current user who can sudo
[17:01] <tazzer> i  am locked out of the user who can use sudo
[17:01] <jrib> tazzer: why?
[17:01] <bekks> jrib: Forgot password ;)
[17:02] <jrib> tazzer: reset the password then?
[17:02] <tazzer> how i already tried
[17:02] <jrib> tazzer: boot into recovery mode and run « passwd YOUR_USERNAME_HERE »
[17:02] <BluesKaj> Newbeeans, add this line, " options snd-hda-intel index=0 ", right underneath # Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0 . in etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[17:02] <bekks> Insert a livecd, boot it, chroot into your system, change the password.
[17:02] <bekks> Or use the recovery mode.
[17:02] <BluesKaj> Newbeeans, without the quotes
[17:03] <Evil_One_> yes, reboot and just after the bios you should press your left shift key
[17:03] <Evil_One_> recovery mode > drop to root prompt
[17:03] <BluesKaj> Newbeeans, in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[17:03] <add1ctt> Anyone using XFCE ^
[17:03] <bekks> add1ctt: I am sure someone uses XFCE.
[17:03] <tazzer> i tried and i got an error that said "Authentication Token Manipulation Error"
[17:04] <bekks> tazzer: You tried what exactly? Be more detailed please.
[17:04] <add1ctt> Most probably, uh.
[17:04] <add1ctt> I would like to know how to auto-mount an external HDD located on a machine on my windows network
[17:04] <add1ctt> I cannot add a symlink
[17:05] <tazzer> bekks: i tried what jrib said to reset the password by dropping into a root prompt and typing passwd "username"
[17:05] <Newbeeans> # Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0 under that I have options snd-hda-intel index=0 then I saved
[17:05] <bekks> add1ctt: You have to add an entry in your /etc/fstab
[17:05] <bekks> tazzer: Without the quotes.
[17:06] <BluesKaj> Newbeeans, ok good , now reboot
[17:06] <diabolical187> how to upgrade ubuntu 10.4 to backtrack 5 without losing any data ie users, webserver, sql dbs etc]
[17:06] <bekks> diabolical187: This isnt a backtrack support channel.
[17:06] <diabolical187> backtrack is built off of ubuntu, ok
[17:06] <zykotick9_> diabolical187, cross-distro upgrading is impossible (or should be).
[17:06] <bekks> diabolical187: It isnt Ubuntu.
[17:06] <BluesKaj> !backtrack | diabolical187
[17:07] <tazzer> i typed it without the quotes and i got "Authentication Token Manipulation Error" pwconv should have fixed it but then i got an error that said "unable to lock /etc/passwd"
[17:07] <fhtagn> diabolical187: you could keep /home and anything user specific should be kept. But I doubt you configured a webserver in /home, so I dunno...
[17:07] <diabolical187> bekks maybe i just need to add the repos to get the drivers and pentesting
[17:07] <bekks> diabolical187: This is not a backtrack support channel, for the secod time :)
[17:07] <xangua> diabolical187: you want backtrack¿ make a fresh install of backtrack and please stick to the topic: Ubuntu Support
[17:08] <christian__> hello my frindly friends, i have a short quiestion: How can i set the same rights to a new user
[17:08] <diabolical187> fhtsgn: ya a 60 gb webserver and tons of databases isnt worth losing
[17:08] <oCean> diabolical187: use #backtrack-linux for support, please don't continue here
[17:08] <jrib> tazzer: investigate the lines in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow for your user
[17:08] <tazzer> i typed it without the quotes and i got "Authentication Token Manipulation Error" pwconv should have fixed it but then i got an error that said "unable to lock /etc/passwd"
[17:08] <christian__> i just created a new user, but i need him to have the same rights then my private user
[17:08] <bekks> tazzer: Are you in the recovery mode?
[17:08] <Salihk> hi guys, i have problem with touchpad on ubuntu 11.10
[17:08] <Psych0_>  hi, i've a question. I want to recover some movies of my Ipod Touch, how is it possible ?
[17:08] <Salihk> it totally freezes
[17:08] <tazzer> ok what do you want me to do with them and yes bekks i was in recovery mode
[17:09] <zykotick9_> tazzer, and why where you using "pwconv"?  I had to look up what that app did - not commonly used, i'd say.
[17:09] <jrib> tazzer: look for abnormalities
[17:09] <bekks> tazzer: Then go into the recovery mode again.
[17:09] <_s3gfault> Salihk, i had a similar issue and had to disable turn off touch pad while typing to make it go away
[17:09] <tazzer> i got pwconv from this article http://mohammednv.wordpress.com/2008/01/08/authentication-token-manipulation-error-when-changing-user-passwords-in-linux/
[17:09] <bekks> Psych0_: Use your backup and restore it. No other way.
[17:10] <Psych0_> beks: If i do that I recovry my movies ?
[17:10] <bekks> tazzer: What did you use for "username" when running: passwd username in hte recovery mode - root or your username?
[17:10] <Psych0_> bekks sorry ;)
[17:10] <bekks> Psych0_: If your backup contains that movie: yes. If it doesnt: no.
[17:11] <Salihk> _s3gfault there isn't any solution ?
[17:11] <christian__> any ideas how i can set the right of a user to another user ? (so both have the same rights) ??
[17:11] <tazzer> bekks: i used my username: tazthespaz
[17:11] <_s3gfault> Salihk, disabling that option fixed it for me
[17:11] <Psych0_> bekks: backup doesn't contains that movies. But there realy has any other way ?
[17:11] <bekks> Psych0_: No.
[17:12] <Psych0_> bekks, we can't use something like photorec or other ?
[17:12] <tazzer> bekks: i used my username: tazthespaz
[17:12] <bekks> Psych0_: Which part of "no" was unclear? :)

[17:26] <dr_willis> copying stuff to /opt/ would require the proper permissions. and/or use of sudo.
[17:26] <tucemiux_> anyone here ever used a virus scanner on ubuntu to scan hard drives?
[17:26] <hemangpatel> solution ?
[17:26] <dr_willis> tucemiux_:  theres several out. yes..
[17:27] <bekks> tucemiux_: I bet someone did.
[17:27] <myraft> anyone know how to uninstall svn 1.7.1 from Ubuntu 11 - I have tried apt-get autoremove etc
[17:27] <dr_willis> hemangpatel:  linux basics.. 'sudo cp thefile /path/to/put/it/in'
[17:27] <tucemiux_> dr_willis, but I mean, have you personally tried some that work
[17:27] <iceroot> myraft: sudo apt-get remove subversion
[17:27] <bekks> tucemiux_: Just ask your question :)
[17:27] <tucemiux_> bekks, yeah but i mean, hve you personally tried any that works?
[17:27] <dr_willis> tucemiux_:  clamav works.  i imagine the others do also...
[17:27] <myraft> iceroot - tried that
[17:27] <bekks> tucemiux_: I am sure it doesnt help you in any way if I say yes or no.
[17:27] <myraft> I see svn there after that
[17:27] <iceroot> myraft: remove not autoremove
[17:27] <hemangpatel> how to copy folder ?
[17:27] <dr_willis> I think theres like 3 differnt av apps out for linux. unless ive missed some.
[17:27] <iceroot> hemangpatel: cp -r
[17:28] <iceroot> myraft: output of "dpkg -l subversion"
[17:28] <neo^^> dr_willis: clamav, and other two?
[17:28] <tucemiux_> bekks, if you had personally tried and knew from experience it would actually helped if you said yes
[17:28] <dr_willis> hemangpatel:  you may want to read up on some bash command line basics..  OR carefully run the nautilus filemanager as root via 'gksudo nautilus' (and close it when you are done)
[17:28] <hemangpatel> please need full command
[17:28] <bekks> tucemiux_: Ask what you really want to know, please.

[17:33] <iceroot> myraft: subversion is not installed on your system
[17:33] <SkOrPn> heres something amazing that Ubuntu can do that windows cant: I took my Ubuntu 11.10 off my amd64 rig from about 2005 and put the drive on a fairly new Intel c2d machine from 2007, and it booted as easily as if it had not changed machines
[17:33] <iceroot> myraft: not the cli-version with "svn"
[17:33] <iceroot> SkOrPn: like every live-cd :)
[17:34] <myraft> iceroot - it is installed "I think" - svn --version shows 1.71. and compiled date
[17:34] <hemangpatel> i have my c drive in media
[17:34] <jefflett> I'm having issues installing Ubuntu 11.10 from a USB Drive on my MacbookPro.  I keep getting "No bootable device" when I try to boot from my USB Drive in refit.  Anyone able to help or tell me a channel that will?
[17:34] <SkOrPn> yeah but this wasnt a live cd, it was a fully installed OS with native drivers etc
[17:34] <myraft> it is missing the wa-dev block and without that I can't get ssl working
[17:34] <iceroot> myraft: how did you installed svn?
[17:34] <hemangpatel> how can i write path
[17:34] <iceroot> myraft: from the repos? or compiled by your own?
[17:34] <myraft> iceroot: from source
[17:34] <hemangpatel> i try "media/XP SP3/xampp/htdocs
[17:34] <iceroot> myraft: then read the README of the source how to remove it
[17:35] <iceroot> myraft: and use the repos in the future
[17:35] <iceroot> !repos | myraft
[17:35] <hemangpatel> media/XP SP3/xampp/htdocs is it right ?
[17:35] <hemangpatel> it gives error
[17:36] <iceroot> hemangpatel: what command, what error
[17:36] <myraft> iceroot / ubotto : learned my lesson the hard way
[17:36] <iceroot> myraft: :)
[17:36] <hemangpatel> i try this command "sudo cp -r /media/XPSP3/xampp/htdocs/ecom /opt/lampp/htdocs/ecom"
[17:36] <hemangpatel> but it gives error
[17:36] <zykotick9_> hemangpatel, to deal with spaces you A) "either need to double quote the string" or B)\ escape\ the\ spaces
[17:36] <Fuyuki> Hello
[17:36] <iceroot> hemangpatel: what error
[17:36] <ulderigo> I just upgraded to 11.10 but might have stopped the package updates prematurely. When I try to install Wine, it tells me to install ia32-libs, which tells me to install ia32-libs-multiarch, which tells me to install several i386 packages. If I try to install any of them then I'm told that lots of packages, such as banshee, nautilus and ubuntu-desktop will be removed (which I don't want, I think?). It seems there can't be 64-bit and 32-bit
[17:37] <ulderigo>  versions of those libraries at the same time. What should I do?
[17:37] <myraft> Iceroot - had 1.6 working, but needed Java HL so figured might has well upgrade - since synaptic did not give me 1.7 went around running the source
[17:37] <myraft> iceroot - nothing in README to remove
[17:37] <hemangpatel> cp: cannot stat `/media/XPSP3/xampp/htdocs/ecom': No such file or directory
[17:37] <iceroot> !info subversion
[17:37] <bekks> ulderigo: There is no problem in installing 32 and 64bit libraries of the same package at the same time.
[17:37] <arooni-mobile> how do i make the default editor vim; and not nano or whatever it seems tob to be now ....
[17:37] <iceroot> myraft: java hl = java highlight?
[17:37] <myraft> ubottu - agreed, but needed 1.7 for JavaHL
[17:38] <rypervenche> I have two Windows computers that I would like to transfer data between using Live sessions on both of them. How can I go about doing that? I'd like to be able to put an ethernet cable between the two of them and transfer the data that way using the "cp" command. Is this possible?
[17:38] <ulderigo> bekks: OK, but then shall I just go ahead and let apg-get remove banshee et.al.?
[17:38] <myraft> iceroot - not sure - needed for Eclipse IDE for it to connect with SVN
[17:38] <riffautae> arooni-mobile: set your EDITOR environmental var to vim
[17:38] <iceroot> hemangpatel: the error is very clear, so what is your question
[17:38] <myraft> iceroot - get me out of this hell and back to 1.6 using synaptic
[17:39] <iceroot> myraft: sudo apt-get install subversion
[17:39] <myraft> figured after wasting a day - just live with the old version
[17:39] <zykotick9_> bekks, actually, from what i've seen so far with multiarch - your statement isn't true.  ulderigo
[17:39] <myraft> iceroot - tried that from synaptic, but version still shows 1.7.1 and missing SSL support
[17:39] <clio> I have an external USB drive that is automatically set to read-only when I mount it using the following command:  sudo mount -t ntfs -rw /dev/sdb1 /media/LaCie   The output of this command is:  mount: warning: /media/LaCie seems to be mounted read-only.  Any suggestions?
[17:39] <myraft> iceroot - will try CLI
[17:40] <ulderigo> zykotick: I don't get it. Then why does apt-get want to remove 64-bit versions of the libraries?
[17:40] <mman> which software do you recommend me for streaming music?
[17:41] <iceroot> myraft: sudo apt-get remove --purge subversion, after that show me the output of "which svn"
[17:41] <zykotick9_> ulderigo, i've only seen what happens in this channel, but it appears that 32bit libraries can cause the removal of the 64bit libraries (exactly what multi-arch was suppose to avoid)?  I have no personal experience with it - good luck.
[17:42] <eron> Hey guys where do i find a solution to this issue?  eron@ubuntu:~$ wine /home/eron/Desktop/sins/sr-soaset/Setup.exe

[17:42] <hemangpatel> i want to copy ecom folder from "/media/XPSP3/xampp/htdocs/ecom" to "/opt/lampp/htdocs/ecom" (ecom folder does not exist in destination)
[17:42] <ulderigo> so does everyone who have Wine installed, also have only 32-bit libraries installed?
[17:42] <hemangpatel> command ?
[17:42] <myraft> iceroot- this is what I mean - I have tried all obvious ones - http://paste.ubuntu.com/737435/
[17:42] <iceroot> hemangpatel: sudo mkdir -p /opt/lampp/htdocs/ecom
[17:43] <iceroot> myraft: please use the which command as i said
[17:43] <hemangpatel> iceroot : how to copy files now ?
[17:43] <bekks> hemangpatel: The way you already tried.
[17:44] <zykotick9_> hemangpatel, using Ubuntu's lamp stack would be a lot better then a 3rd part "lampp" install.  "/msg ubottu xampp" for some details.
[17:44] <myraft> which shows /usr/local/bin/svn
[17:44] <bekks> hemangpatel: Now, the target exists, and you can copy file into it.
[17:44] <iceroot> myraft: sudo mv /usr/local/bin/svn /usr/local/bin/svn.old && sudo apt-get install subversion && svn --version
[17:44] <clio> I have an external USB drive that is automatically set to read-only when I mount it using the following command:  sudo mount -t ntfs -rw /dev/sdb1 /media/LaCie   The output of this command is:  mount: warning: /media/LaCie seems to be mounted read-only.  Any suggestions?
[17:44] <myraft> iceroot - which svn shows /usr/local/bin/svn
[17:44] <myraft> iceroot - will try that
[17:44] <bekks> clio: take a look at dmesg, about the last 100 lines.
[17:44] <myraft> brb
[17:45] <hemangpatel> can write XP SP3 ? or XPSP3 is good ?
[17:45] <zykotick9_> clio, mounting NTFS requires more options then you are using!  that -rw isn't going to do anying.
[17:45] <iceroot> clio: you must use ntfs-3g
[17:45] <iceroot> clio: wihtout ntfs-3g you can only read
[17:46] <clio> iceroot, ntfs-3g didnt work...
[17:46] <iceroot> !didntwork | clio
[17:46] <iceroot> ..
[17:46] <iceroot> clio: you have a usefull error instead of "did not work"?
[17:46] <clio> iceroot,  hold up... pastebinning
[17:46] <hemangpatel> error "cp: cannot stat `/media/XPSP3/xampp/htdocs/ecom': No such file or directory"
[17:46] <hemangpatel> hmmm now ?
[17:46] <iceroot> hemangpatel: your source does not exist
[17:46] <myraft> iceroot - broke - http://paste.ubuntu.com/737443/
[17:47] <iceroot> hemangpatel: there is no /media/XPSP3/xampp/htdocs/ecom
[17:47] <myraft> iceroot - which svn shows /usr/bin/svn , but svn command does nto work
[17:47] <iceroot> myraft: restart your terminal
[17:47] <bastidrazor> myraft: if you use 'checkinstall' instead of 'make install' then youcan use dpkg -r to remove. makes it much easier.
[17:47] <iceroot> myraft: dont know how to reset the PATH cache so restart the terminal should work
[17:48] <zykotick9_> hemangpatel, try "/media/X<TABKEYHERE>..." to see if it auto completes the path
[17:48] <clio> iceroot, the error reads "mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-3g'3 but Im quite sure its an ntfs volume...
[17:48] <iceroot> clio: you are using ubuntu?
[17:48] <clio> iceroot, yes
[17:48] <arooni-mobile> how can i make it so that bash is automatically loaded as my shell?
[17:48] <clio> 11.10
[17:48] <myraft> iceroot- worked !!!
[17:48] <bekks> clio: nopaste the output of lsb_release -a please
[17:48] <iceroot> myraft: great
[17:48] <myraft> iceroot - thanks man / woman
[17:48] <jrib> myraft: hash -r
[17:48] <ssta> arooni-mobile: chsh
[17:48] <iceroot> clio: normally ntfs-3g is installed by default on ubuntu
[17:48] <jrib> iceroot: hash -r  should work in that circumstance (myraft)
[17:49] <iceroot> jrib: ah good to know, thanks
[17:49] <myraft> iceroot - will figure out the paths and stuff, atleast for now can continue work
[17:49] <iceroot> clio: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[17:49] <myraft> jrib - what is hash -r
[17:49] <myraft> ?
[17:49] <clio> bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/737447/
[17:49] <myraft> forgive my ignorance
[17:49] <iceroot> clio: after that "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/foo /media/foobar"
[17:49] <jrib> myraft: type « help hash » in your bash shell
[17:50] <clio> iceroot, ok
[17:50] <myraft> jrib - don't want to play games
[17:50] <myraft> later dude
[17:50] <myraft> jrib - sorry
[17:50] <clio> iceroot, strange that it wasnt installed ... i didnt even think to check
[17:50] <intel352> hola ubuntuites. I'm attempting to make a package debian-compliant, anyone have any tips/examples when altering source to change file path references, for instance?  dealing with c/c++, I'd think the use of constants to replace hard-coded references would be great, but I'm not sure what's available within the realm of c/c++ and automake, etc.
[17:50] <bekks> myraft: Thats not a game, but a valuable clue :)
[17:51] <MishkaEchoes> hey guys I've left my ubuntu box running for awhile and when I came back to it unity broke
[17:51] <MishkaEchoes> I've been following http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/04/missing-top-and-side-panels-in-unity.html
[17:51] <iceroot> clio: dont know if 11.10 is still installing it as default but i think so
[17:51] <MishkaEchoes> but it hasn't helped me fix my problem
[17:51] <myraft> jrib - bekks , just realize my mistake on top of my ignorance -
[17:51] <myraft> sorry guys
[17:51] <myraft> thanks
[17:51] <MishkaEchoes> when I tried sudo service gdm restart I get gdm: unrecognized service
[17:51] <puff> My sound stopped working.  I'm on 11.10 with xubuntu-desktop, on a thinkpad t520.  I tried rebooting and I tried fiddling with the volume buttons and I tried the steps listed in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[17:51] <chrisreichel> Hi there
[17:51] <clio> iceroot, it seems to have done so on my other machines... strange but hopefully this will work =)
[17:52] <zykotick9_> MishkaEchoes, if you're using 11.10, it doesn't use gdm - try "sudo service lightdm restart" i believe
[17:52] <chrisreichel> Guys, I've upgraded the amount of memory in my computer, from 4GB to 8GB, The system became in a unusable state given the overall slowness
[17:53] <chrisreichel> had to put the 4GB back....
[17:53] <chrisreichel> Does anybody have a clue of whats happening?
[17:53] <clio> iceroot, the mount command seems to have worked. Is it safe to run a chown?
[17:53] <chrisreichel> I'm running a 64bit version, and I made the memtest -> no error
[17:54] <MonkeyDust> chrisreichel: you may need PAE to address more memory
[17:54] <MishkaEchoes> I tried the service restart recommended and it did restart, but sadly my unity bar on the left is still broken
[17:54] <MonkeyDust> may need*
[17:54] <MishkaEchoes> and I don't have a top bar with system information like clock etc
[17:54] <zykotick9_> clio, you can't apply POSIX permissions to NTFS drives - so chown/chmod won't work - you need to specify this in the mount command somehow.
[17:54] <chrisreichel> MonkeyDust even running in 64bit OS?
[17:54] <zykotick9_> MonkeyDust, PAE doesn't apply to 64bit installs
[17:55] <MishkaEchoes> I've reset compiz to defaults even though I never touched anything in compiz to begin with
[17:55] <urlin2u> MishkaEchoes, the refresh in compiz is problematic, have you run unity --reset  and done a reboot?
[17:55] <zykotick9_> chrisreichel, no (PAE doesn't apply to 64bit)
[17:55] <cih997> Hi, In gnome-shell 3.0.x I used ALT+TAB to change windows and ALT+~ to change windows in groups. Since gnome-shell 3.2.x ALT+~ doesn't work. Anyone has solution?
[17:55] <MonkeyDust> ok, "may need" ;)
[17:56] <clio> zykotick9_, ah ok. Im using pysdm to automount at boot time... i believe this edits the fstab file. is that an appropriate way to handle this?
[17:56] <zykotick9_> clio, i don't know pysdm - but fstab could be used (with the proper options) to make the NTFS read/write
[17:56] <chrisreichel> I thought that was a mtrr problem
[17:56] <hemangpatel> how to remove permission for perticular folder ?
 ok, "may need"  <- not at all, PAE is a (useless) 32Bit extension, pointless to mention if the already runs 64bit
[17:56] <PrototypeX29A> hi
[17:56] <clio> zykotick9_, ok thank you
[17:56] <Dave-Maydew> Can I ask a quick question? I know you guys are busy
[17:56] <chrisreichel> I checked the mttr options from kernen and enabled some options in grub
[17:57] <dcherniv> !ask
[17:57] <urlin2u> Dave-Maydew, yes
[17:57] <PrototypeX29A> i recently upgraded to 11.04 and now the scrollbars in all GTK applications are kind of unusable, can I change it back to the previous behaviour?
[17:57] <hemangpatel> how to remove permission for perticular folder ?
[17:57] <arooni-mobile> how would i make tmux start upon ssh login to my server?  i'm using bash if it matters.
[17:57] <dcherniv> hemangpatel, what do you mean?
[17:58] <hemangpatel> i want to remove root permission from opt folder
[17:58] <MishkaEchoes> urlin2u I've tried unity --reset yes it didn't take, and I've restarted the machine a few times
[17:58] <klync> i'm new to using pulse audio; on their website, they recommend against running it as a system-wide daemon; what do ubuntu users recommend for sharing sound hardware across user accounts?
[17:58] <Dave-Maydew> I've solved the Nvidia issue on my Sony Desktop, but I also have a Acer Aspire One AO751h Netbook with the crappy Poulsbo, but will this be an issue in 12.04?
[17:58] <ssta> hemangpatel: you can't remove root permissions
[17:58] <bekks> hemangpatel: Thats not a permission, but an ownership.
[17:58] <bekks> hemangpatel: If you want to change that, use the command chown.
[17:58] <clio> zykotick9_, how should I configure fstab if I want to automount the ntfs filesystem as rw?
[17:59] <hemangpatel> i want to run my php sample project
[17:59] <zykotick9_> clio, sorry i have no idea - i don't use MS garbage.  Good luck.
[17:59] <MishkaEchoes> is there a way to uninstall unity and then reinstall it or something like that
[17:59] <hemangpatel> from that dir .. but it does not display any files..
[17:59] <MishkaEchoes> and does unity include the top bar or just the left side panel
[17:59] <bekks> hemangpatel: Then momst likely your webserver isnt configured correctly.
[17:59] <clio> zykotick9_, haha ok thanks anyway
[18:00] <puff> Can anybody help me with my sound problem?
[18:00] <urlin2u> MishkaEchoes, top panel and the left panel
[18:00] <Dave-Maydew> So GMA500 powered devices? will it be able to work by 12.04, or should I just scrap the idea??
[18:00] <CrystalCastle> Hi
[18:01] <CrystalCastle> someone can help me?
[18:01] <ssta> clio: something like: /dev/sdXX /mnt/foo ntfs auto,rw 0 0
[18:01] <puff> CrystalCastle: No.
[18:01] <puff> CrystalCastle: not if they don't know what your problem is :-)
[18:01] <zykotick9_> ssta, that's not going to work.  clio
[18:01] <ssta> hmm, /media/foo these days I suppose
[18:01] <CrystalCastle> : p
[18:01] <urlin2u> CrystalCastle, probably just ask your questions.
[18:01] <ssta> whagt was wrong with leaving it as /mnt?
[18:02] <ssta> zykotick9_: why not?
[18:02] <zykotick9_> ssta, NTFS needs OTHER options to make read/write
[18:02] <CrystalCastle> I want to play League Of Legends in ubuntu, but i can't because with wine the installer dont run
[18:02] <The_BROS> Is it possible to make subtitles at the Open Shot program?
[18:02] <zykotick9_> CrystalCastle, #winehq might help
[18:02] <clio> zykotick9_, ssta  this is what I have:  /dev/sdb1                                  /media/LaCie  ntfs  nls=iso8859-1,users,umask=002,utf8,posix=1,user,noatime,nodiratime,uid=1000  0  0
[18:02] <clio> but im guessing its missing something
[18:02] <zainu> help please : nfs mounting gives error  not in host:dir format
[18:03] <zykotick9_> clio, that's looking better - umask and such.  But i can't/won't help you.  Good luck.
[18:03] <dcherniv> clio, yea ntfs-3g instead of ntfs
[18:03] <CrystalCastle> zykotick9_ Thanks you
[18:03] <dcherniv> clio, ntfs driver is read only
[18:03] <MishkaEchoes> after trying unity-reset it appears to fail after doing Initiailizing scale options ... done and prints 3 lines with compiz (core) - Warn: failed to receive ConfigureNotify event on 0x......
[18:03] <clio> dch4pm4n, ok ok it all suddenly makes sense =) thank you!
[18:03] <MishkaEchoes> so if compiz broke unity how do I go about uninstalling compiz?
[18:04] <zykotick9_> MishkaEchoes, Unity requires compiz actually...
[18:04] <MonkeyDust> who had this ssh question?
[18:05] <KM0201> clio: not sure if this helps, but here's my fstab line for an NTFS partition...  /dev/sda1       /media/ntfs       ntfs    defaults,umask=007,gid=46,noatime   0       0
[18:05] <clio> dcherniv, and just to make sure ... I dont need to create the mount directory in /media, do I?  It should automatically be created?
[18:05] <zykotick9_> clio, it won't be auto created no
[18:05] <clio> KM0201, and your is read/write?
[18:06] <dcherniv> clio, if you're doing it through fstab then mount directory must exist
[18:06] <KM0201> clio: of course
[18:06] <clio> dcherniv, zykotick9_ ok thanks
[18:06] <MishkaEchoes> fixed it!!!
[18:06] <th^2> hello all
[18:06] <MishkaEchoes> reset all of config through the terminal
[18:06] <KillaByte> sofar ubuntu seems to be the best distro
[18:06] <MishkaEchoes> it didn't work when I did it through the manager
[18:06] <th^2> nmap localhost shows:"631/tcp open  ipp"
[18:06] <clio> KM0201,  strange... earlier i was told that the NTFS driver was read only and that I needed to specify ntfs-3g
[18:06] <MishkaEchoes> man that felt great
[18:06] <cih997> Hi, In gnome-shell 3.0.x I used ALT+TAB to change windows and ALT+~ to change windows in groups. Since gnome-shell 3.2.x ALT+~ doesn't work. Anyone has solution?
[18:06] <th^2> nmap localhost shows:"631/tcp open  ipp" what is that?
[18:07] <KM0201> clio: what version of ubuntu are you using?..
[18:07] <MonkeyDust> arooni-mobile: add this line in .profile: if [ ! -z "$SSH_CONNECTION" ]; then tmux -rd; fi

[18:07] <MonkeyDust> arooni-mobile: add this line in .profile: if [ ! -z "$SSH_CONNECTION" ]; then tmux; fi
[18:07] <klync> anyone know how i can turn off pulseaudio (without uninstalling it)?
[18:07] <Salihk> guys, i did mistake i think. i open a guest session and i managed the user accounts from there i created a new admin account and deleted the other one. it asks me password only one time and i entered my password. than i change session again when i tried to enter admin account it said to me it is wrong password. Now i cannot open ubuntu on admin account means i cannot install anything on it.
[18:07] <Salihk> could you help ?
[18:07] <clio> KM0201, 11.10
[18:07] <th^2> iceroot, aaa thank you!
[18:07] <iceroot> th^2: http://localhost:631
[18:07] <KM0201> clio: well, i can't explain that... it works fine here.
[18:07] <ssta> clio: ntfs-3g is a userspace driver...you probably wouldn't use it in fstab
[18:07] <clio> KM0201, I'll just give it a whirl
[18:07] <th^2> iceroot, yes yes :D
[18:08] <zykotick9_> klync, "pasuspender BINARY" will suspend pulse for given BINARY program
[18:08] <hhhzzzarn> which wine package do i download from software center? ubuntu 11.10? playonlinux? or together?
[18:08] <dcherniv> clio, ah my bad, ntfs-3g is default nowadays, specifying just ntfs should work for read/write
[18:08] <klync> Salihk: so, there's no account where you can do "sudo"? If not, reboot from cd....
[18:08] <clio> dcherniv, ok thanks!
[18:08] <clio> thanks ssta
[18:08] <th^2> iceroot, then you know what is 53/tcp as well?
[18:09] <iceroot> th^2: dns
[18:09] <bastidrazor> th^2: that is dnsmasq, possibly
[18:09] <klync> zykotick9_: i want the server to not start up when I login; in fact, when anyone logs in. I don't see the advantage over just using alsa
[18:09] <bastidrazor> th^2: or unbound
[18:09] <clio> So this looks ok to everybody?  /dev/sdb1                                  /media/LaCie  ntfs  nls=iso8859-1,users,umask=002,utf8,posix=1,user,noatime,nodiratime,uid=1000  0  0
[18:09] <eight_bit> hi
[18:09] <eight_bit> i need abit of help
[18:09] <zykotick9_> klync, good luck with that.  expect gnome/unity to have broken audio if you do.
[18:09] <eight_bit> i just installed 11.10
[18:09] <eight_bit> how do i get rid of it ?
[18:09] <eight_bit> and i really hate this side bar unity thing
[18:09] <iceroot> th^2: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers#Well-known_ports
[18:09] <eight_bit> i want regular gnome
[18:10] <FloodBot1> eight_bit: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:10] <vsingh165> anyone know why Firefox 8 and latest flash update haven't been released yet on the stable channel?
[18:10] <iceroot> !nounity | eight_bit
[18:10] <eight_bit> anyone ?
[18:10] <matxinoa> hello all, I have a problem with xampp, mysql did not start, anyone can help me?
[18:10] <KM0201> eight_bit: you might try not hitting enter every 3 words
[18:10] <zykotick9_> !xampp | matx
[18:10] <klync> zykotick9_: ok, let me rephrase, then... I want mpd to have access to my sound hardware as root, even when a user is logged in
[18:10] <eight_bit> thank you ubottu
[18:10] <th^2> iceroot, bastidrazor ok now im lost... wich service could be using that?
[18:10] <zykotick9_> matxinoa, ^^ see the !xampp above
[18:10] <iceroot> vsingh165: there are never major-updates within a ubuntu-release, just sec-updates (and ff8 is not stable bzw)
[18:10] <eight_bit> and sorry i type like that ;3
[18:11] <KM0201> eight_bit: well, there's 1600 people chatting here... it's tough to follow someones conversation like that
[18:11] <PrototypeX29A> !classic
[18:11] <KM0201> !enter | eight_bit
[18:11] <bastidrazor> th^2: sudo netstat -napt  ..this will list the program name
[18:11] <vsingh165> iceroot:  yeah I've had a few issues with ff8 on windows.  I'm sticking with Chrome for now
[18:11] <iceroot> matxinoa: dont use xampp
[18:11] <skyball> !nounity
[18:11] <zykotick9_> klync, i haven't used mpd in a while, not sure running it as root is a particularly good idea though.  Best of luck (i'm no help, sorry)
[18:11] <iceroot> matxinoa: use the regual packages "sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server"
[18:11] <matxinoa> iceroot, which I use?
[18:11] <MonkeyDust> matxinoa: try tasksel
[18:11] <th^2> bastidrazor, those are all the connections in and out my computer?
[18:11] <iceroot> matxinoa: xampp is bad
[18:12] <bastidrazor> th^2: tcp connections yes.
[18:12] <matxinoa> how I can install the same but is not xampp?
[18:12] <skyball> !classic
[18:12] <th^2> bastidrazor, how about all of them?
[18:12] <zykotick9_> !lamp | matxinoa
[18:12] <klync> zykotick9_: very helpful, thanks for the insights, even if no solution yet
[18:12] <rhizmoe> how can i speed up folder display in the unity file manager?
[18:13] <matxinoa> thank you!
[18:13] <Xaro> Hey all
[18:13] <ulrik> I just upgraded to 11.10, and when I try to install Wine, "apt-get install wine" gives me the error message "The following packages have unmet dependencies: wine : Depends: wine1.3 but it is not going to be installed. Depends: ia32-libs (>= 1.6) but it is not going to be installed. E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages." Trying to install ia32-libs only complains that ia32-libs-multiarch isn't installed, etc.
[18:14] <Salihk> guys for my account it says it is disabled how can i enable it ?
[18:14] <hhhzzzarn> salihk: what?
[18:14] <bastidrazor> th^2: add a 'u'  -naptu
[18:14] <KillaByte> i know this is ubuntu channel but is linux mint a better distro ?
[18:14] <hhhzzzarn> ulrik, go to software center and install wine
[18:14] <jrib> ulrik: you have no idea why?
[18:15] <rhizmoe> KillaByte: wrong channel
[18:15] <hhhzzzarn> kkiabyte: not better, it is just choice.
[18:15] <MonkeyDust> !best| KillaByte
[18:15] <vsingh165> KillaByte:  can't say I've tried Linux Mint.  it is kind of like Ubuntu in that it's ready out of the box
[18:15] <vsingh165> KillaByte:  but I'm not sure how much better it is. in the end, all Linux distros are similar at their core
[18:15] <zykotick9_> KillaByte, you question is offtopic here (Mint is more popular then Ubuntu, since Ubuntu switched to Unity)
[18:15] <KM0201> KillaByte: thats a matter of opinion, my personal opinion, is no it is not.
[18:15] <ulrik> hhhzzzarn: that gives me the same error message
[18:16] <hhhzzzarn> killabyte: i used linux mint, but inorder for the greater good and ubuntu 11.10, i switched to ubuntu again
[18:16] <vsingh165> I don't really have any issues with Unity
[18:16] <hhhzzzarn> ulrick: what does?
[18:16] <MonkeyDust> i use mint
[18:16] <vsingh165> since I am an OSX user too, it appeals to me :)
[18:16] <ulrik> jrib: I might have aborted some package updates because the computer froze
[18:16] <hhhzzzarn> vsingh: might want to try, gnome-shell, liking it.
[18:16] <Jonii> Hey, anyone know if Ubuntu 10.4 has this "Dvorak International with dead keys" layout somewhere?
[18:16] <KillaByte> yeah in my opinion ubuntu rules
[18:16] <jrib> ulrik: run « sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[18:16] <ulrik> hhhzzzarn: Installing wine through software center
[18:17] <hhhzzzarn> ulrik: i am trying to install wine right now as well, but i have not started yet.  Nothing happens.
[18:17] <zykotick9_> KM0201, i think the fact that Mint is based on Ubuntu (currently) seals it's fate
[18:17] <MonkeyDust> mint 12 RC is unstable, i tried it
[18:17] <jrib> ulrik: « sudo apt-get install -f »
[18:17] <ssta> stick to 10.04.  No unity brokenness :)  This is all a bit off-topic though
[18:18] <KM0201> zykotick9_: maybe... i'm really happy w/ Lubuntu.. it's got a sexy interface, easy to use... and NO UNITY!
[18:18] <hhhzzzarn> vsingh165: well, i prefer it over unity currently since i get to see all my open windows as soon as i move mymouse over the home button
[18:18] <Jonii> I like Unity better than 10.4 look+funktionality
[18:18] <zee> Once Ubuntu 10.04LTS reaches its end of life (Apr 2013) does it become unsafe to use immediately? 3-6 months later? 6-12 monts later? or much later?
[18:19] <vsingh165> hhhzzzarn:  it's your preference.  I prefer unity since I use OSX and the layout/functionality is similar
[18:19] <MonkeyDust> mac vs pc, linux vs windows, ubuntu vs mint ;)
[18:19] <xangua> !eol | zee
[18:19] <bekks> zee: It isnt supported then anymore.
[18:19] <ulrik> jrib: that doesn't help, either
[18:19] <vsingh165> hhhzzzarn:  the sidebar especially keeps things neat when you have lots of stuff open on multiple desktops
[18:19] <jrib> ulrik: pastebin full output
[18:19] <ulrik> ok
[18:19] <zykotick9_> zee, ubuntu isn't like debian - there isn't an old-stable grace year.  When it's EOL, no more updates.
[18:19] <hhhzzzarn> vsingh165: gnome shell is same thing with a few things different.
[18:20] <MonkeyDust> i like mint more
[18:20] <vsingh165> hhhzzzarn:  gnome 3 is slow though...gnome 2 was much faster and more streamlined
[18:20] <jrib> please move the mint discussion elsewhere (like #ubuntu-offtopic)
[18:20] <hhhzzzarn> vsingh: i was comparing unity to gnome shell. not to gnome 2.
[18:20] <ulrik> jrib: http://pastebin.com/EJuKXNz1
[18:20] <vsingh165> hhhzzzarn:  I would rather use gnome 3 on a tablet, since it seems to be more touch-friendly with its android-like interface
[18:21] <KillaByte> jrib lol
[18:21] <hhhzzzarn> is anyone else having issue with flash and firefox? it is choppy and slow
[18:21] <hhhzzzarn> i deleted flash 11
[18:21] <KillaByte> opensuse is very nice but had some driver issues
[18:21] <jtr__> does LAMP work on 11.10? without any problems ? p=perl
[18:21] <hhhzzzarn> and installed flash 10
[18:21] <hhhzzzarn> and went to chrome, and it seems better
[18:21] <jrib> KillaByte: #ubuntu-offtopic for distro preferences please
[18:21] <Salihk> It sounds stupid but i created a admin account from guest session. Than i remove the other admin account. However new admin account is disabled. So i cannot enter admin session. I thinks it is huge bug. because someone who can access guest account (means everybody  does) can easily delete real admin account and blow all the system. If i can do it everybody does... How can i fix this ?
[18:21] <vsingh165> hhhzzarn:  flash 11 is actually pretty good.  at least now they have 64-bit version that's really fast.
[18:22] <hhhzzzarn> vsingh165: do you mean for 64 bit os?
[18:22] <xangua> hhhzzzarn: chrome uses a bundle flashplugin
[18:22] <xangua> not your system ;)
[18:22] <jrib> ulrik: run « sudo apt-get update » and try again.  If output is the same, pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list* and the output of the command « apt-cache policy wine wine1.3 ia32-libs »
[18:22] <vsingh165> hhhzzzarn:  yes.  and chrome is nice with how it bundles flash in.  updates when the browser does :)
[18:22] <ssta> Salihk: how did you manage to create a sudo capable user from a guest session?
[18:22] <jtr__> [23:51] <jtr__> does LAMP work on 11.10? without any problems ? p=perl?????
[18:22] <jrib> jtr__: yes
[18:22] <jrib> !lamp | jtr__
[18:22] <jtr__> jrib: ok
[18:22] <hhhzzzarn> vsingh165: question: flash 64 for 64 bit os or 64 bit system?
[18:23] <vsingh165> hhhzzzarn:  64-bit os on 64-bit system
[18:23] <jtr__> jrib: i read that , it says only about 11.04, so just asked, anyways thatnks
[18:23] <vsingh165> hhhzzzarn:  I don't run 32-bit anymore
[18:23] <jtr__> thanks*
[18:23] <blind> Hi, I don't know if anyone remembers, I was having issues with my wireless dropping at random times. It seems to have been fixed by installing wicd and uninstalling network manager. I've currently been connected over 24 hours.
[18:23] <hhhzzzarn> i have another laptop with 32 bit os on 64 bit system.
[18:23] <hhhzzzarn> and flash was choppy on firefox.
[18:23] <KillaByte> has anyone have lamp gui or is it always /opt/lamp/lamp start ?
[18:23] <Salihk> ssta actually i really don't know how but it is a real. I cannot enter my admin account and delete origin user from guest session
[18:24] <jrib> KillaByte: you should be using apache, mysql, and php (or whatever p you want) through the repositories.  To start and stop services, use the « service » command
[18:24] <zee> zykotick9: does ubuntu 10.04LTS become unsafe to use immediately pass its EOL?
[18:24] <hhhzzzarn> i have (hacking) my brother laptop lately: changing his admin password :)
[18:24] <hhhzzzarn> been*
[18:24] <ssta> Salihk: sounds really strange to me...you need a rescue system I guess (the installer CD to a live session will work)
[18:24] <zykotick9_> zee, yes
[18:24] <hhhzzzarn> off-topic.
[18:24] <hhhzzzarn> anyway. which wine package do i installed from the software center?
[18:24] <Shwaiil> hi
[18:25] <Flannel> zee: It stops getting updates once its EOL, it doesn't magically break at that moment, but any security flaws won't be fixed from then on.
[18:25] <Salihk> i think 11.10 not ready yet
[18:25] <hhhzzzarn> anyone installed playonlinux?
[18:25] <xangua> Salihk: it is already november
[18:25] <vsingh165> Salihk:  really?  I think it's much more mature than 11.04
[18:25] <hhhzzzarn> can i install playonlinux, wine, q4wine, together?
[18:25] <KillaByte> yeah it really dont work :(
[18:25] <xangua> it has been here for a month Salihk
[18:25] <ulrik> jrib: sources.list here http://pastebin.com/m70XxPLZ and apt-cache here http://pastebin.com/N4eSW22v
[18:25] <Shwaiil> Q: I've checked some screenshots on last version of ubuntu and it looks strange. There's no more Applications at top ?! and..there's a ....menu  bar on the left side ?! what the hell
[18:26] <KillaByte> hhhzzzarn what you trying to install
[18:26] <Salihk> But if i can delete an origin admin account from guest session where is the security ?
[18:26] <jrib> ulrik: why do you have precise repositories?
[18:26] <zykotick9_> !unity | Shwaiil
[18:26] <DrMax> I'm using 11.10 with Gnome3 and I am looking for the dialog that allows the admin to grant specific privileges to the users, such as "use the fax", etc.
[18:26] <ulrik> jrib: eh... I don't know.
[18:26] <hhhzzzarn> killaByte: are you pming me? i am trying to stall the best wine or varient.
[18:26] <hhhzzzarn> install
[18:27] <MishkaEchoes> I decided to make a perm switch from win7 to ubuntu on my main machine. It's composed of 4 monitors (2)9800 GTX+ in non sli. After running updates and upgrading the drivers when I go to Display Settings its still not picking up on the other two monitors
[18:27] <MishkaEchoes> other 3 monitors
[18:27] <hhhzzzarn> which irc client shows everyone message in a different color? or boxes?
[18:27] <stef1a> in konsole, how can i change the color or properties of the directory text (before the $)?
[18:27] <Salihk> the reason that i delete my admin account is to solve the touchpad problem because only on guest account the touchpad is working properly
[18:27] <jrib> hhhzzzarn: most of them
[18:27] <ulrik> jrib: How/where do I change them?
[18:27] <jrib> ulrik: have you installed anything from precise?
[18:27] <Shwaiil> !notunity
[18:27] <xangua> hhhzzzarn: pidgin is one
[18:28] <Shwaiil> !notunity | Shwaiil
[18:28] <ulrik> jrib: not on purpose, no
[18:28] <Shwaiil> zykotick9_, how to see !notunity ?
[18:28] <jrib> ulrik: doesn't matter if it was on purpose
[18:28] <Shwaiil> ok thanks sorry ;D
[18:29] <DrMax> ubottu : ok, but that's not my question
[18:29] <zykotick9_> Shwaiil, if you want to see a factoid privately use "/msg ubottu foo" replace foo with the factoid you want
[18:29] <jrib> ulrik: if a significant portion of your system is on precise and you'd prefer to stay on natty, then you should just reinstall.  If you just added these repositories but never installed anything from them, then just remove them from your sources.list and run an « apt-get update »
[18:29] <ulrik> jrib: I understand. To my knowledge I haven't, no
[18:30] <hhhzzzarn> xangua:?
[18:30] <xangua> hhhzzzarn: yes¿
[18:30] <hhhzzzarn> xangua: ok pidgin with colored text for everyone.
[18:30] <Salihk> How i solve my account problem with live cd ?
[18:30] <hhhzzzarn> salihk? what are you trying to do again?
[18:30] <ulrik> jrib: I see. Is there some easy way of seeing if it is? If a large portion is on precise, I mean
[18:31] <xapel> Is it possible to somehow copy a Virtualbox instance of Ubuntu to USB and run it from the USB on another computer?\
[18:31] <Salihk> nothing to save my ubuntu
[18:31] <hhhzzzarn> nothing to save my ubuntu?
[18:31] <gloomer> xapel if it has virtual box sure
[18:31] <hhhzzzarn> you mean, you want to save things on the live cd?
[18:31] <jrib> ulrik: you could construct an aptitude search to do so, but I'd have to read the documentation to be more exact.  You can check individual packages just using apt-cache policy
[18:32] <ulrik> jrib: okay, I will do that. Thanks for your help.
[18:32] <bekks> Salihk: You just have to add your new user account to the admin usergroup - using the recovery mode.
[18:32] <xapel> gloomer: no I want to boot from the USB
[18:32] <hhhzzzarn> xapel: why virtualbox?
[18:33] <hhhzzzarn> xapel: if you want to boot ubuntu from usb, all you do is download "universalusbcreator"
[18:33] <hhhzzzarn> i think it is called "universalusbinstaller or creator"
[18:33] <th^2> okay what is the point of "alternate"?
[18:33] <xapel> hhhzzzarn, I want to install Ubuntu inside VB and then customize it a bit and then be able to give it to a friend to run on his computer
[18:34] <stef1a> in konsole, how can i change the color or properties of the directory text (before the $)?
[18:34] <hhhzzzarn> xapel: so you want to create an image from a virtualbox?
[18:34] <bekks> th^2: More drivers for more hardware, no gui install.
[18:34] <xapel> hhhzzzarn yes

[18:37] <Shwaiil> damn this unity thing...really does suck :X
[18:37] <jrib> Shwaiil: if you don't like it, don't use it :x  there are plenty of desktop environments and window managers to choose from
[18:38] <th^2> okay howto encrypt a virtualbox os?
[18:38] <jrib> !away > zz_M4rc3l
[18:38] <Shwaiil> jrib, they could at least, let people choose.. like theme "classic"
[18:38] <jrib> !nounity | Shwaiil
[18:39] <jrib> Shwaiil: you can choose
[18:39] <hhhzzzarn> shwaiil, you can choose by installing?
[18:39] <Shwaiil> ok tks
[18:39] <klync> th^2: i don't know if virtualbox offers that inside the app, but you could do an encrypted fs when installing the guest, or keep the image inside an encrypted disk image that you mount via loopback before launching vbox
[18:39] <jrib> Shwaiil: if you really want that gnome2 feel though, I'd suggest xfce
[18:39] <lions> ciao
[18:39] <lions> !list
[18:39] <hhhzzzarn> shwaiil, i suggest, you install "gnome-shell" then if you don't like it, install something else
[18:40] <kamired> im new to ubuntu and linux in general, how do i avoid having open myriads upon myriads of terminals?
[18:40] <LSymonds> Shwaiil: Xubuntu is great for replicating gnome 2.
[18:40] <lions> !addon
[18:40] <hhhzzzarn> shwaiil, lubuntu is getting more popular then xubuntu. :)
[18:40] <mxed> use gnome in fallback  and use alt and right klick to add applets
[18:40] <MonkeyDust> next: xubuntu vs mint ;)
[18:40] <mxed> self i do use xfce with emerald and compiz
[18:40] <KM0201> kamired: if you use ubuntu.. you should very rarely have to use the terminal.
[18:41] <KM0201> unlss you just want to (terminal is typically faster)
[18:41] <kamired> i love using the terminal
[18:41] <Technicus> On the 11.04 distrobution, what is the version number for the Gnome Classic desktop?
[18:41] <hhhzzzarn> kamired, you don't need to. the tutorials on web usually shows the terminal method.
[18:41] <gloomer> terminal is why i like linux
[18:41] <KM0201> kamired: thenw hy are you asking how to avoid it
[18:41] <xangua> !info gnome natty | Technicus

[18:41] <kamired> because it gets unwieldy, im sure theres a good way of managing them

[18:42] <hhhzzzarn> aafksab: i have intel, and i didn't install any drivers.
[18:42] <aafksab> i want accelerated 3d graphics
[18:43] <th^2> okay howto encrypt a virtualbox os?
[18:43] <hhhzzzarn> aafksab: oh, well have you search the web using usefull keywords?
[18:43] <Menthane> I'm using the gnome 3 classic no effects environment. I can see 'Applications' and 'Places' but wheres 'System'?
[18:43] <aafksab> yes, i found something for 11.04 and also the comments said it broke there system
[18:44] <hhhzzzarn> menthane, there is no system since gnome changed.
[18:44] <bekks> th^2: Just the same way as you would do it on "real" hardware.
[18:44] <hhhzzzarn> menthane: i was looking for it too. :)
[18:44] <Menthane> hhhzzzarn How would I open things like process manager? Do I have to make my own shortcut for it?
[18:45] <hhhzzzarn> menthane: the best way would be to open "user settings from drop down" then choose "all settings :)
[18:45] <mxed> this is my ubuntu 11.10 with xfce and compiz
[18:45] <hhhzzzarn> menthane: did i help?
[18:45] <xangua> Menthane: run gnome-control-center

[18:48] <Boontoo> do you just look for "Passed" or "failed"?
[18:48] <jtr__> dumbo88: thanks :)
[18:48] <psychx-> Is there a "task manager" style thing in Ubuntu 11.10? I feel like I have a program running, but I can't seem to find it/see it.
[18:48] <Boontoo> whoops
[18:48] <gloomer> psychx ps
[18:48] <DrMax> psychx- : gnome-system-monitor
[18:49] <psychx-> Ah, ok - thanks.
[18:50] <himi> does anyone know why i cant play this stuff?
[18:50] <zykotick9_> gloomer, i'd suggest "top" over "ps".  psychx-
[18:51] <himi> does anyone know why i cant play this stuff? http://sradio.tv/asx/1559.asx
[18:52] <theorem> Boontoo: sure, what do the results look like ?
[18:52] <Boontoo> theorem: well, two of the disks have no error records and say passed, they look great
[18:53] <Boontoo> theorem: but two of them have past failures with airflow regulation
[18:53] <Boontoo> theorem: I can pastebin them
[18:54] <rhizmoe> how do i turn down some of the gui effects in unity?
[18:54] <xangua> rhizmoe: with compiz settins manager
[18:54] <xangua> !ccsm
[18:54] <th^2> rhizmoe, wich effects?
[18:54] <rhizmoe> just glowy fadey stuff
[18:54] <th^2> xangua, you cant do everything with the ccsm
[18:55] <Boontoo> theorem: http://pastebin.com/nbPL7iev
[18:55] <rhizmoe> canonical needs better HCI
[18:56] <theorem> Boontoo: which disk am I looking at ?
[18:56] <theorem> sda ?
[18:56] <theorem> Boontoo: it's still marked as passed
[18:57] <Boontoo> theorem: http://pastebin.com/gSiA3ACr
[18:57] <Boontoo> theorem: yeah, I figured they were fine, I just wanted to make sure that sort of thing was not a problem
[18:57] <theorem> airflow regulation -- that would show up as temperature problems
[18:58] <Boontoo> yeah
[18:58] <theorem> oh, it's #190
[18:58] <Boontoo> 190?
[18:58] <theorem> Boontoo: now that you mention it
[18:58] <theorem> these disks are quite hot
[18:58] <theorem> 72 deg C
[18:58] <Boontoo> yeah
[18:58] <Boontoo> theorem: I just installed on a 2TB disk and it keeps crashing because the partition table reverts to GPT for some reason
[18:58] <TomSlominski> hello.
[18:59] <theorem> Boontoo: are these disks getting enough airflow ?
[18:59] <Boontoo> I cannot find a reason why in my configs...so I am thinking about reorienting everything and adjusting fans
[18:59] <BarkingFish> this is kinda tricky.  I am trying to get help from #ubuntu-ko using Google translate, but I don't think they understand.  It seems English users of Kubuntu can't help me at all.
[18:59] <kamired> google translate to korean sucks balls
[18:59] <kamired> completely useless
[18:59] <Boontoo> theorem: when I opened it up, one of my fans was not moving that was on the HDs, they were also squished pretty tight
[18:59] <zivester> does anyone know how to make gmail my default email client when i click mailto: links ?
[18:59] <ypxu> anyone have audio issues with ubuntu 11.10 ?
[19:00] <TomSlominski> I've got a brand new ubuntu installation and I can't install chrome because I get an error about corrupted file/ lack of permissions. i tried opening both 32 and 64 bit versions as root, but that didn't help
[19:00] <theorem> Boontoo: I would look at the cables and how they sit in the box, this is too warm given the threshold is 30 degrees cooler
[19:00] <bekks> ypxu: Some have, some dont.
[19:00] <TomSlominski> ive got ubuntu installed on an external hard drive over USB and it's set to bootable, could that be the cause?
[19:00] <BerdisSmerdis> ho can I install AMR codecs in ubuntu 10.04?
[19:00] <theorem> Boontoo: this will cause your drives to fail sooner.  I know first hand about bad airflow :-/
[19:00] <MonkeyDust> anyone| ypxu
[19:00] <MonkeyDust> !anyone| ypxu
[19:00] <Boontoo> theorem: thanks, yeah...I either need more fans, or I need to adjust their position because I have lost a LOT of data
[19:01] <xangua> TomSlominski: better try chromium, is already on repositories and is open source ;)
[19:01] <BarkingFish> kamired: some language channels don't like you speaking english - i at least tried to make an effort and ask first :)
[19:01] <bekks> TomSlominski: sudo apt-get install chromium
[19:01] <TomSlominski> xangua: no, it completely fails on my laptop
[19:01] <bekks> TomSlominski: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
[19:01] <theorem> Boontoo: if you have spare $ , consider cooling with liquid if space is a problem
[19:01] <Boontoo> theorem: so where did you derive that temperature reading?
[19:01] <bekks> TomSlominski: Then show us the complete error messages.
[19:01] <theorem> Boontoo: it's the "Value" column, indicating the current reading
[19:01] <BerdisSmerdis> how can I install AMR codecs in ubuntu 10.04?
[19:02] <theorem> Boontoo: your "sping rety count" has also just passred the threshold
[19:02] <theorem> *passed
[19:02] <Boontoo> theorem: but it says 28 and 29?
[19:02] <ypxu> bekks: it seems my audio driver doesn't work well under 11.10. the audio is chopping when watching youtube video.
[19:02] <dcherniv> BerdisSmerdis, libamr
[19:03] <ypxu> MonkeyDust: you'are funny.. :P
[19:03] <theorem> Boontoo: 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0022   071   037   045    Old_age   Always   In_the_past 29 (36 76 32 27)
[19:03] <TheCowboy> Is there a manual or extended documentation for Quickly? I can't seem to find anything
[19:03] <theorem> 071 is the current temp
[19:03] <TomSlominski> xangua bekks: chromium isn't an option. wait, my computer's having a breakdown
[19:03] <bekks> TomSlominski: Why isnt chromium an option?
[19:03] <dcherniv> BerdisSmerdis, err libopencore-amr[something]
[19:03] <Boontoo> theorem: ah...so it is only on that one drive
[19:03] <rypervenche> TomSlominski: Why is chromium not an option? It's the same thing as Chrome.
[19:04] <theorem> Boontoo: yes, smart only focuses on a single drive at a time
[19:04] <theorem> Boontoo: the red flag is this :   10 Spin_Retry_Count        0x0013   100   100   097    Pre-fail  Always       -       0
[19:04] <TomSlominski> bekks: it fails on my machine. tried it many times on Ubuntu and Fedora. rypervenche
[19:04] <Boontoo> might not be entirely airflow problem then...
[19:04] <BerdisSmerdis> ok thanks will try to find it in synaptic
[19:04] <recharge> hi.. how do i sync files via gtkpod? I have an iphone 4 and ubuntu 11.10 and i am trying to sync and transfer files.
[19:04] <bekks> TomSlominski: Then show us the complete error messages when trying to install it.
[19:04] <TomSlominski> i dont see why it behaves so badly specifically on my machine, but it does and it's useless to me.
[19:04] <theorem> Boontoo: the disk is telling you it's about to fail based on the number of spin-retries , this is likely due to the temperature
[19:04] <TomSlominski> bekks: i'm getting to it :)
[19:04] <rypervenche> TomSlominski: So you're asknig us to help you get Chrome, which doesn't work, but you refuse to try chromium because it doesn't work either?
[19:05] <Boontoo> theorem: interesting, I might pull that drive then...the other one looks like those errors are missing from the output
[19:05] <TomSlominski> rypervenche: Chrome does work, it just won't install on this new ubuntu installation.
[19:05] <theorem> Boontoo: if it has nothing to record then it won;t show up on the report.  that means it's healthy.
[19:05] <rypervenche> TomSlominski: Lik bekks said, show us what happens whe you try to install chromium-browser.
[19:05] <BerdisSmerdis> ok thanks man that gives me some ideas now
[19:05] <TomSlominski> rypervenche: I'm not installing chromium.
[19:06] <BerdisSmerdis> think it's in medibuntu repo
[19:06] <theorem> Boontoo: I think you just need to cool it off somehow.  check the rated temperature that the drives run at -- if you have a multi-platter disk the temperatures these put out will be more than single-platter disks
[19:06] <theorem> Boontoo: regardless, back it up for safety
[19:07] <recharge> can anyone help me to sync files from ubuntu 11.10 to my iphone 4 through gtkpod..?
[19:07] <theorem> at 72 deg C you're nearly 3/4th the way to boiling water constantly -- just with that drive -- consider how much heat that emits to the surrounding area.
[19:07] <rypervenche> TomSlominski: Then you may find that help will be hard to come by with such an extremist attitude.
[19:07] <xangua> recharge: are you able to mount your iphone¿ what iOS version¿
[19:08] <recharge> xangua, to be honest i dont know what mount and unmount means.. but it seems like my iphone is detected
[19:08] <TomSlominski> rypervenche: what do you mean? I have said that I can't use Chromium and that I need to install chrome. I don't see why I should install chromium, which I know wouldn't work, just because I've been told to.
[19:09] <bekks> TomSlominski: Will you show us the complete error messages you get or not?
[19:09] <theorem> recharge: mount and unmount means that the file system is mounted -- it's a process of mapping a block device for use.
[19:09] <TomSlominski> "Could not open 'google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb' The package might be corrupted or you are not allowed to open the file: please check the permissions of the file."
[19:09] <TomSlominski> please do understand that my system is running off a usb drive so things are slow.
[19:09] <theorem> TomSlominski: ls -la <file>
[19:09] <bekks> TomSlominski: And what are the permissions of the file?
[19:09] <theorem> TomSlominski: ls -la google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
[19:10] <Boontoo> theorem: yeah, well rearrangement might help too, I had all of them right on top of eachother near the power supply. I think if I spread them out and now that I fixed the fan. It should be fine
[19:10] <recharge> xangua, do you know how to use gtkpod?
[19:10] <TomSlominski> bekks theorem: -rwxrwxrwx 1 tom tom 24665320 2011-11-13 18:18 google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
[19:10] <theorem> TomSlominski: probably corrupted somehow -- snag the md5 and compare ?
[19:10] <cheeseyc> ....so I have no idea where to even start with asking for help because I have probably managed to screw up ubuntu in at least three or four separate ways in one full sweep
[19:10] <bekks> TomSlominski: Did you compare the checksums of the file you downloaded?
[19:11] <theorem> Boontoo: yeah, that will make a big difference, make sure that fans are not blocked externally too
[19:11] <theorem> cheeseyc: hmm ?
[19:11] <TomSlominski> bekks theorem: no, however i downloaded both the 64 and 32 bits version twice so its unlikely that the files are corrupted. could it be the whole drive?
[19:11] <cheeseyc> but essentially: 1) grub boots immediately into rescue mode; I figured out long ago how to get it to load back up, but interestingly grub2 freezes if I don't choose what I want to run within a few minutes
[19:12] <bekks> TomSlominski: Seeing that error message it IS VERY likely that your downloads are corrupted.
[19:12] <theorem> TomSlominski: maybe -- but unlikely  -- get the md5 checksum
[19:12] <TomSlominski> theorem bekks: ok, i'll be right back
[19:12] <theorem> TomSlominski: download is corrupted, but it's not clear what did it.
[19:12] <kamilnadeem> Hi
[19:12] <cheeseyc> 2) so that's not a big deal, I just need to update grub files or reinstall it. however, that's not possible, because upon any attempt to load ubuntu, the screen goes black and stays that way
[19:12] <recharge> i cant get my phone synced by itunes in wine because of this bug and i really thought this gtkpod would make my day.. I used to get it through virtual box (win xp).. how do i sync my iphone in a good way? please?
[19:13] <kamilnadeem> I am having a prob with Chromium/Chrome , here is the details http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=103349
[19:13] <kamilnadeem> does this happens with you guys also?
[19:14] <theorem> Boontoo: hang on a sec-- I just re-read that -- the counter for "Value" indicates the number of times you're passed the threshold
[19:14] <cheeseyc> 3) until I hit the power button, which probably is signalling Ubuntu to wake up, given that I accidentally attempted to suspend my system  - which was doomed to fail. However, then my computer seems to get the message to SHUT OFF, so before Ubuntu can properly load, now realizing it SHOULD, my computer just shuts itself off entirely
[19:14] <theorem> Boontoo: not to worry about the temp.  but do check up about the seek errors.
[19:14] <cheeseyc> so I've had to boot from Windows just to even reach this IRC. anybody have any idea where I can start here, or...?
[19:15] <theorem> cheeseyc: you're giving me a bit too much info --
[19:15] <xangua> recharge: that depends of what do you want to sync, wuth gtkpod you can only manager your ipod/iphone files i believe
[19:16] <theorem> cheeseyc: sounds like you need to boot with a rescue CD for your machine
[19:16] <bekks> kamilnadeem: Works fine here.
[19:16] <kamilnadeem> :(
[19:16] <recharge> xangua, im glad if i can sync my musicfiles or anything at all
[19:16] <theorem> cheeseyc: then you can go about fixing the grub.conf and related kernel files
[19:16] <kamilnadeem> It has happened with me on every distro
[19:17] <Braber01> does anybody know how to configure input on mednafen?
[19:17] <xangua> recharge: you mean sync them with the music you but on the istore¿ or whatever is called
[19:17] <xangua> buy*
[19:17] <cheeseyc> theorem: thanks. not sure how to do that, but it sounds like a good start
[19:18] <recharge> xangua,  can i transfer my music files (i have converted them into mp3) in gtkpod to my iphone?
[19:18] <theorem> cheeseyc: pickup your ubuntu install DVD, it will let you load it is "rescue mode"   from there mount the partitions for /boot or just /  and fix the files .
[19:18] <xangua> recharge: yes, you can
[19:19] <recharge> xangua, well how do i do that.. cause i dont get how to make the sync/transfer
[19:19] <cheeseyc> theorem: mm, didn't go by CD. I didn't have a decent cd on hand when I tried Ubuntu out, so I tried it from a USB first. (I'm new to ubuntu (as in, just a few days)... So...:\)
[19:19] <theorem> cheeseyc: ok, then use the USB, it will do the same thing
[19:19] <theorem> cheeseyc: and you can get online with it too, just boot the USB normally
[19:20] <theorem> cheeseyc: then use either 'irssi' or 'xchat' to get on here
[19:20] <cheeseyc> theorem: cool, thanks. 'll have to do that
[19:20] <theorem> cheeseyc: k, give it a try -- I don;t know how musch longer I'll be here, but if I am I'll help
[19:20] <rhizmoe> well i seem to have compiz'ed unity out of my life, somehow
[19:21] <theorem> rhizmoe: that's a good thing imho :)
[19:21] <rhizmoe> well, except for having to launch through nautilus, sure :)
[19:22] <unkr>  i m using xchat  is there any way so that i can automatically get conected to some defined channel  and  nickserv identify me automatically ??? i dont want to identify myself everytime when i log in to xchat
[19:22] <rhizmoe> how do i get back into compizconfig-settings-manager? bash isn't finding it
[19:22] <TomSlominski> is anyone aware of md5 sums for chrome?
[19:22] <li0s> hello, i have ubuntu 11.10 and when i right click on the desktop i see "create folder" and "create file" but i dont see at all the "create launcher" option
[19:22] <rhizmoe> unkr: if xchat uses anything like an .ircrc, sure
[19:23] <TomSlominski> unkr: look at xchat preferences
[19:23] <xangua> recharge: http://www.gtkpod.org/wiki/IPod_and_content#Adding_files_and_folders
[19:23] <unkr> rhizmoe: how to find that  don't have any idea
[19:23] <TomSlominski> unkr: you can modify the auto connect channels via the server list
[19:24] <unkr> TomSlominski, let me see that
[19:24] <unkr> TomSlominski, how that ??
[19:24] <rhizmoe> unkr: man xchat
[19:24] <unkr> rhizmoe, okk
[19:25] <PrototypeX29A> as a reoccuring event, my gnome spontaneously logs out, when i am typing something. ~/xsession-errors.old looks funny, but i can't make a rhyme: http://pastebin.com/zp1psVXk any ideas, what is causing this?
[19:25] <rhizmoe> so i apparently can't get the dash back? just push me to mint already
[19:25] <unkr> rhizmoe, no manual entry for xchat
[19:25] <rhizmoe> unkr: menu -> help ?
[19:25] <TomSlominski> unlr: sorry, i would elp you but my machine is being really slow
[19:25]  * rhizmoe doesn't use xchat
[19:26] <rhizmoe> also, have you checked for #xchat?
[19:26] <unkr> rhizmoe, okk
[19:27] <rhizmoe> what config file/dir does compiz use?
[19:27] <unkr> rhizmoe, let me try
[19:27] <tegra> can i use ubuntu for routing ?
[19:27] <zkriesse_> #xchat does exist but I might be able to help
[19:27] <bekks> tegra: Yes.
[19:27] <byte_code> anyone tried Mint. Thoughts?
[19:27] <glitchd> its ok
[19:27] <bekks> !ot | byte_code
[19:27] <recharge> xangua, ty i guess i have to re-read it..
[19:27] <glitchd> comes with some stuff already installed
[19:27] <glitchd> byte_code, like java i believe
[19:27] <rhizmoe> "anyone tried Windows. Thoughts?"
[19:27] <glitchd> byte_code, nd some others
[19:27] <zkriesse_> unkr: What's your issue mien freund
[19:27] <byte_code> heh
[19:28] <curfont> I upgraded from 10.4 to 11.10, and now my xorg is wrong, apparently "nvidia" is no longer a driver?
[19:28] <tegra> bekks, how ?
[19:28] <curfont> what is the proper driver for nvidia?
[19:28] <rhizmoe> curfont: reinstall it
[19:28] <curfont> rhizmoe: reinstall what?
[19:28] <curfont> xorg?
[19:28] <rhizmoe> the nvidia driver
[19:28] <glitchd> curfont, nvidia driver
[19:28] <bekks> tegra: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router
[19:28] <hhhzzzarn> good luck with all your problems :)
[19:28] <curfont> glitchd: nvidia-current?
[19:28] <tegra> thanks bekks
[19:28] <hhhzzzarn> i am problem free.
[19:28] <pfifo> this is a somewhat difficult question, by default on the livecd, casper adds the 'ubuntu' user to the admin group so that ubuntu can run sudo without a password, is there a way to preven ubuntu from being added to this group?
[19:29] <rhizmoe> yes, nvidia-current
[19:29] <glitchd> curfont, that sounds like its the newest
[19:29] <glitchd> curfont, so yea?
[19:29] <glitchd> anyone use teamspeak in here?
[19:29] <hhhzzzarn> glitched, not me,.
[19:29] <rhizmoe> pfifo: sure, edit the thing that creates the livecd. it's probably somewhere.
[19:29] <hhhzzzarn> i use teamviewer :)
[19:29] <glitchd> hhhzzzarn, lol thats not it
[19:29] <hhhzzzarn> glitched, i know.
[19:30] <glitchd> hhhzzzarn, yeayea funnyfunny
[19:30] <PrototypeX29A> how can i retry a failed dist upgrade?
[19:30] <zkriesse_>   glitchd I do... Not on linux though
[19:30] <glitchd> zkriesse, well u think u would want to get it real quick nd help me out in trying to see if i set my server up right?
[19:30] <hhhzzzarn> glitched: prototype: i never upgraded, but can you upgrade again?
[19:30] <soulslayer> hey guys i use the have problems with networkmanager  the nm-applet does not see any devices /etc/network/interfaces is empty and managed is set to true in the NetworkManager.conf file
[19:30] <soulslayer> did i miss something
[19:31] <PrototypeX29A> hhhzzzarn: it doesn't give me the option in the update manager
[19:31] <glitchd> hhhzzzarn, what??
[19:31] <hhhzzzarn> glitchd: sry
[19:31] <glitchd> PrototypeX29A, sudo apt-get update

[19:31] <roby66> ciao
[19:31] <glitchd> zkriesse, ok, well i will continue to try and get someone to help me in the mean time
[19:32] <roby66> !list
[19:32] <theborger> anyone tell me how to set a default sound card? or link me to a readme/man page?
[19:32] <eron> anyone here have exp getting directx installed in wine via mscoree.dll and streamci.dll copyed from a windows system?
[19:32] <hhhzzzarn> prototype: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/08/upgrade-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat-command-line/
[19:32] <MonkeyDust> !anyone| theborger eron
[19:32] <soulslayer> i hear that that connman can cause similar issue but i dont have it installed
[19:32] <glitchd> anyone use teamspeak in here?
[19:32] <MonkeyDust> lol
[19:32] <rhizmoe> well i think my unity install is pooched
[19:33] <hhhzzzarn> pooched?
[19:33] <rhizmoe> glitchd: we heard you the first time
[19:33] <glitchd> rhizmoe, unity blows
[19:33] <rhizmoe> hhhzzzarn: flat busted
[19:33] <eron> how can I get a copy of mscoree.dll and streamci.dll if i dont have access to a windows system?
[19:33] <rhizmoe> glitchd: really? i couldn't tell.
[19:33] <glitchd> rhizmoe, i can repeat if i like, dont razz me for it
[19:33] <PrototypeX29A> hhhzzzarn: tried that before, but dist-upgrade wouldn't do anything at all then
[19:33] <glitchd> rhizmoe, switch back to gnome
[19:33] <theborger> MonkeyDust, i did ask the real question
[19:33] <myke> hello, i have xubuntu 11.10 on a dell n5030, although the touchpad scroll works, chording the two buttons to emulate middle does not (only 2 buttons).  i see that chordmiddle in the X config has been deprecated, what's the best way to get it back?
[19:34] <rhizmoe> "switch back to gnome" doesn't make sense.
[19:34] <PrototypeX29A> hhhzzzarn: but upgrade is just the normal upgrade, not a distupgradE?
[19:34] <bitcrusher> So I removed unity and installed gnome-shell, but now the bar on the top, the text(maybe the font is frazzled), can't take a screenshot of it because it doesn't take a picture of the bar on the top
[19:34] <glitchd> rhizmoe, in the login screen look at the bottom and choose a different desktop environment
[19:34] <theborger> MonkeyDust: i dont know how else to ask how to set the default sound card. As that is what i need to know, so quit being a troll
[19:34] <cheeseyc> theorem: still here?
[19:34] <glitchd> rhizmoe, what version ububtu?
[19:34] <rhizmoe> oh that. yeah, i haven't played around with those too much.
[19:35] <hhhzzzarn> prototy, try someonbe else, I wouldn't know. :)
[19:35] <rhizmoe> oneiric
[19:35] <glitchd> what version number?
[19:35] <glitchd> 11.?
[19:35] <theorem> cheeseyc: yes
[19:35] <PrototypeX29A> hhhzzzarn: k, thx anyways :)
[19:35] <rhizmoe> it's 11.10, versionwise
[19:35] <bitcrusher> TheBorger you can just change the default sound card under sound settings
[19:35] <rhizmoe> gtk3
[19:35] <hhhzzzarn> rhizmoe, download "gnome-shell" from the software center"
[19:35] <glitchd> rhizmoe, yea what he said
[19:35] <rhizmoe> i think i did that about a month ago
[19:36] <glitchd> so do it again to make sure
[19:36] <theborger> bitcrusher: that does not work, after a reboot, it changes to the internal sound card. I have audio coming out of my hdmi card. it will default back to intel internel sound card after a reboot
[19:36] <rhizmoe> you're also assuming i can get to the software center, since the dash is gone
[19:36] <theborger> win 6
[19:36] <cheeseyc> theorem: got ubuntu to load but it's just the version from the USB, none of my settings or anything. tried other options on the menu but all of them just led me to either a black screen or a no-screen...
[19:36] <soulslayer> does any one knows any configs that affect the network manager except the interfaces file and NetworkManager.conf ?
[19:36] <rhizmoe> i probably can't even log out
[19:36] <soulslayer> or what can possibly cause such issue
[19:36] <hhhzzzarn> rhizmoe, did you use it? log out and click on gear icon, then choose "gnome" and login
[19:36] <jasef> How do I find out what package something is from so I can report a bug for it?
[19:36] <glitchd> rhizmoe, doesnt crtl alt backspace work?
[19:36] <himi> does anyone know how to save this internet radio : http://radio.mediacorp.sg/RadioLive/xfm963.aspx?
[19:37] <bitcrusher> rhizmoe, you can pop a terminal by going cntrl, alt f6 then log in, then install gnome-shell, even restart with sudo reboot
[19:37] <glitchd> himi, i believe save it as a .html file
[19:37] <hhhzzzarn> himi, go to "ubuntu-offtopic"
[19:37] <rhizmoe> i think ctrl-alt-backsp is gonesville in gnome3
[19:37] <theorem> cheeseyc: yes, of course.  you have to load the USB then, you have to get to the terminal from there.  Once you load a terminal then you need to edit the /etc/grub.conf file to make sure it's booting properly....
[19:37] <glitchd> rhizmoe, i believe there is a way to enable it
[19:38] <rhizmoe> bitcrusher: i have a terminal, that's where i'm at.
[19:38] <rypervenche> Did TomSlominski ever come back?
[19:38] <xangua> rhizmoe: tried to see the keyboard settings and see if you can't enable it there¿
[19:38] <rhizmoe> glitchd: there is, but i forget and i don't feel like looking it up
[19:38] <glitchd> rhizmoe, does any desktop load on reboot?
[19:38] <rhizmoe> yes, i have basically a nautilus shell and my regular gnome wallpaper
[19:38] <bitcrusher> rhizmoe: are you trying to start gnome-shell?
[19:38] <himi> glitchd: can i save as stream/playlist so that i can play it next time easier?
[19:39] <glitchd> himi, that sounds like it would work
[19:39] <cheeseyc> theorem: well at least I know how to do that, somewhat
[19:39] <theborger> himi, right click the link where you find it. save as
[19:39] <glitchd> himi, what are u using to play it with?
[19:39] <rhizmoe> huh, gnome-shell did something
[19:39] <hhhzzzarn> rhizmoe: are you on gnome-shell?
[19:39] <rhizmoe> i think so
[19:39] <theorem> cheeseyc: well, it's a bit tricky -- would you like to fix it or start over ?
[19:39] <rhizmoe> how do i select this when logging in?
[19:39] <himi> glitchd, mozilla..
[19:39] <theborger> himi: next time you want to listen to it, click the link you downloaded
[19:39] <rhizmoe> is it just the "gnome" option?
[19:39] <glitchd> himi, well give it a try and see if it works
[19:40] <bitcrusher> rhizmoe: yes select gnome session instead of ubuntu
[19:40] <cheeseyc> theorem: starting over might be easier, not going to lie
[19:40] <glitchd> himi, if not i would suggest downloading and installing VLC to handle media playing
[19:40] <hhhzzzarn> rhizmoe: if you are gnome-shell, then move your mouse over icon and you should see a black backgroun popup.
[19:41] <cheeseyc> theorem: ....particularly as I can't even seem to find grub.conf. etc folder, yes, grub, nope
[19:42] <theorem> cheeseyc: you need to mount the / or /boot partitions manually
[19:42] <theorem> cheeseyc: this means going to the terminal and typing something along the lines of :  mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/root
[19:42] <theorem> you would need to create /mnt/root first :    mkdir -p /mnt/root
[19:42] <cheeseyc> theorem: thanks. I understand what things mean but I tend to not know how to do them
[19:43] <himi> glitchd, thank you but what i really  mean is had download it .asx file from the site and it work using totem but after i close it and tried to open it again it said 'error stream'
[19:43] <theorem> cheeseyc: once the disk is mounted then you can open the contents of the files on the disk
[19:43] <rhizmoe> ah, much better. thanks!
[19:43] <bitcrusher> lol going to ask again, anyone know how to fix scrambled text on the top of gnome-shell after you remove unity and replace with gnome-shell?
[19:43] <Neutronym> hi
[19:43] <jtr__> how do i search files using locate without case sensitive behaviour
[19:43] <rhizmoe> maybe unity stole some gtk3 stuff when you removed it
[19:43] <BarkingFish> does anyone here have their PC set up with IME's to type in any of the East Asian languages, like Chinese or Korean please? I desperately need help and can't get my PC to do what I need it to - which is type in Hangul / Hanja using an English keyboard.
[19:44] <Neutronym> some german here
[19:44] <jtr__> !german
[19:44] <Neutronym> ok
[19:44] <jtr__> :)
[19:45] <jtr__> how do i search files using locate without case sensitive behaviour????
[19:45] <cheeseyc> theorem: did that. no apparent effect?
[19:46] <theorem> cheeseyc: so, you have mounted a drive now ?
[19:46] <theorem> see : df
[19:46] <soulslayer> hey guys does anyone here has similar issues with network manager
[19:46] <soulslayer> ?
[19:47] <ubuntu__> I'm into an install of 10.04 now, (dual boot, slackware & ubuntu), and just realized I could have probably just used the /home from the slackware install.  I suppose I can change it after the install.
[19:47] <iceroot> ubuntu__: dont think its a good diea
[19:48] <ubuntu__> Or.... maybe I'll just make mount points for Documents/ and share that?
[19:48] <jtr__> iceroot: he can have more than one /home folders also right
[19:48] <iceroot> ubuntu__: in ~/. there are configs and you are using different software versions with slackware and ubuntu, so both are using the same configs and maybe somethin has changed in the versions
[19:48] <jtr__> iceroot: ok
[19:48] <iceroot> jtr__: of course
[19:49] <ubuntu__> iceroot: That shouldn't matter... right?  What would be different in a /home dir?
[19:49] <iceroot> ubuntu__: my comment is for "using the same user on both distros" everything else is no problem
[19:49] <funnyfingers> Why does Debian go by a whole number like Debian 6 for Ubuntu uses 10.04 LTS for instance?
[19:49] <cheeseyc> theorem: I think so, but I'm not entirely certain given that the partition that'a matching up with my ubuntu files and all has some strange string of a name instead of /dev/sda something. and that string has no data at all, it just gets listed. /dev/sda1 is mounted at /mnt/root
[19:49] <ubuntu__> Oh yea, I'm using the same user name.
[19:49] <iceroot> funnyfingers: why not?
[19:49] <iceroot> ubuntu__: then i would not use /home/username on both distros
[19:50] <theorem> cheeseyc: ok, great then sda1 is your real disk -- ignore everything else
[19:50] <bitcrusher> alright fixed my text... just had to change text size on universal acess
[19:50] <jtr__> ubuntu__: he says to use different user name
[19:50] <cheeseyc> theorem: got it
[19:50] <iceroot> funnyfingers: #debian for there version-coutning. for ubuntu its always YEAR.MONTH
[19:50] <ubuntu__> jtr__: Too late.
[19:50] <theorem> cheeseyc: navigate to there and edit /mnt/root/etc/grub.conf
[19:50] <jtr__> ubuntu__: still can change, can he ? iceroot?
[19:50] <funnyfingers> iceroot just wondering as you can still call CentOS 5.7 CentOS 5 with the latest update...
[19:50] <ubuntu__> Shouldn't matter though... it's on separate partitions.
[19:50] <jtr__> ubuntu__: then ok
[19:50] <funnyfingers> Can you call Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Ubuntu 10?
[19:50] <iceroot> funnyfingers: no
[19:50] <bekks> funnyfingers: No.
[19:50] <ubuntu__> We'll see what happens.
[19:51] <Nach0z> lol no.
[19:51] <iceroot> funnyfingers: because there is 10.04 and 10.10
[19:51] <funnyfingers> right this is why I am asking
[19:51] <cheeseyc> theorem: once again I'm just getting a blank file
[19:51] <jtr__> ubuntu__: that is always the case :D
[19:51] <theorem> note that the mount point defines the part from which your local directory structure and the disk structure diverge ... /mnt/root is this point --- consider it the '/' of your regular install
[19:51] <iceroot> funnyfingers: which are different releases with different repos and software
[19:51] <funnyfingers> SO was Ubuntu 10 released and then major bugs found that advanced it to 10.04 and then that was considered stable?
[19:51] <theorem> cheeseyc: show me the contents of that directory ?
[19:51] <bekks> funnyfingers: Debian uses another versioning system - ubuntu uses YEAR.MONTH
[19:51] <bekks> funnyfingers: No.
[19:51] <iceroot> funnyfingers: only 10.04 and 10.10 there is no 10.0
[19:51] <bekks> 10.04 was released in Aptil 2010
[19:51] <ubuntu__> theorem: Was that for me?
[19:51] <theorem> ubuntu__: no
[19:52] <funnyfingers> oh ok I gotcha.
[19:52] <iceroot> funnyfingers: i already told you that its always YEAR.MONTH so one was releaed 20(10).(04)
[19:52] <funnyfingers> And what determined that 10.04 went to LTS and not 10.10?
[19:52] <iceroot> funnyfingers: the other 20(10).(10)
[19:52] <iceroot> funnyfingers: mark shuttleworth
[19:52] <bekks> funnyfingers: Because every two years the april release becomes a LTS version.
[19:52] <bekks> funnyfingers: 8.04, 10.04, 12.04
[19:53] <cheeseyc> theorem: going into /mnt/root gives me 8 folders: boot, asuslog, disables3s4, efi, expressgate, expressgateutil, $recycle.bin and sources, along with some logs
[19:53] <funnyfingers> ah ok makes more sense to me now:)
[19:53] <jtr__> people tell me how to locate a dir in whole system using locate , but not be case sensitive
[19:53] <theorem> cheeseyc: hmm, ok ... where if your /etc ?   did this get removed somehow ?
[19:53] <kevrickjam> hello i need help installing ubuntu
[19:53] <iceroot> bekks: what about 6.06 :)
[19:53] <theorem> *where is
[19:54] <bekks> iceroot: That wasnt an april release ;)
[19:54] <iceroot> bekks: but lts :)
[19:54] <kevrickjam> i need help plz
[19:54] <jtr__> kevrickjam: tell
[19:54] <iceroot> bekks: imo
[19:54] <iceroot> !6.06
[19:55] <jtr__> !11.10!eol
[19:55] <guntbert> jtlap: try locate -i <pattern>
[19:55] <cheeseyc> theorem: my normal / folder seems to all be in this other spot: it gets labelled as "109 GB Filesystem", but seems to be named 46a0b7cb-578b... and the string of numbers/letters goes on from there
[19:55] <soulslayer> guys does anyone know a reason for malfunctional nm-applet ?
[19:55] <jtr__> guntbert: u said that to me right?
[19:55] <cheeseyc> it's listed as a separate partition I think like OS and DATA are as usual :\
[19:55] <soulslayer> except the interfaces file
[19:55] <jtr__> guntbert: i tried i dont think it is similar to find
[19:55] <MishkaEchoes> with two video cards why wont it let me extend the display using twin view on the second card?
[19:56] <MishkaEchoes> I don't fully understand xscreen
[19:56] <theorem> cheeseyc: the string is not important now , just hte mount point --- it looks like you got rid of the etc folder which allows you to boot and holds system configuration files -- what happened to cause this ?
[19:56] <guntbert> jtr__: read man locate, I did :)
[19:56] <bekks> cheeseyc: Nopaste the output of the following commands please: lsb_release -a; sudo fdisk -l
[19:56] <bekks> cheeseyc: and "df -h" along with "mount".
[19:56] <cheeseyc> theorem: No, no I have the etc folder and boot and bin and all of that
[19:56] <jtr__> guntbert: it says it will work ? the "-i" thing ?
[19:56] <RandomRoger> how can I remove an application uncluding all its configuration, so I can get a clean slate ?
[19:56] <jtr__> guntbert: i will read
[19:56] <theorem> cheeseyc: oh ! good, then we just need to read the etc folder and open the grub.conf to see if everything is ok
[19:57] <theorem> cheeseyc: you said it was missing before.
[19:57] <xangua> RandomRoger: remove the configuration files in your home
[19:57] <RandomRoger> Yeah, I was going to but I dont see a .kvirc config in my home folder
[19:57] <theorem> RandomRoger: apt-get uninstall <app>
[19:57] <cheeseyc> theorem: ...and there's no grub.conf in the etc file. many other .confs but not grub
[19:57] <RandomRoger> theorem: that only uninstall its, when I reinstall the app the old config is still active
[19:57] <theorem> k, hnag , let me see ..
[19:57] <jtr__> guntbert: thanks , got it, but i tried that before didn't work , so i thought otherwise  , maybe i was writing the parameters in wrong order or something
[19:57] <mago_> good mornigt
[19:58] <theorem> RandomRoger: that's by design.  find the config file and remove it, everything else normally goes.
[19:58] <mago_> existe un canal en español
[19:58] <RandomRoger> Ok thanks
[19:58] <ubuntu__> Well, I'm about to find out what happens, the install is 95% done.
[19:58] <RandomRoger> By chance does anyone know where kvirc keeps its config file ?
[19:58] <ubuntu__> done....
[19:58] <iceroot> RandomRoger: ~/.kvirc ?
[19:59] <RandomRoger> I thought it would be but its not
[19:59] <mago_> como entro a un canal en español
[19:59] <jtr__> ubuntu_: two different partitons , then no problem
[19:59] <jtr__> ubuntu_: nothing common
[19:59] <xangua> !es | mago_{
[20:00] <theorem> cheeseyc: ok, I must be wrong on the grub.conf location --- I have to run right now --- can someone else help cheeseyc fix his boot options ?  he has the right partition mounted !
[20:00] <jasef> RandomRoger, it's in ~/.config/KVIrc by default
[20:00] <cheeseyc> theorem: *she, thank you for your help so far
[20:00] <RandomRoger> Thanks jasef
[20:00] <theorem> cheeseyc: if push comes to shove you can back things up now since the drive is mounted
[20:00] <antnash_> anyone about that might be able to help me get my DVB card working? no errors are being flagged up in dmesg, but it's not able to scan any channels
[20:00] <urlin2u> Random832, hit crtl-h to show hidden files
[20:01] <cheeseyc> theorem: alright. again, thanks
[20:01] <theorem> cheeseyc: ok, those female points should help you here ;-)
[20:01] <theorem> cheeseyc: sorry I can;t stay to help :-/
[20:01] <mago_> tranks
[20:01] <cheeseyc> theorem: no problem, I know how it is.  you've been a great help so far already
[20:02] <soulslayer> is here the proper place about NetworkManager questions
[20:02] <soulslayer> ?
[20:02] <bekks> cheeseyc: Will you nopaste the command outputs questioned?
[20:03] <cheeseyc> bekks: I'm not sure what you're asking; sorry about my horrible newbieness
[20:04] <|Long|> hi guys, i have 16 hard drives here what kind raid can combined all 16 devices?
[20:05] <kyubutsu> !raid | |Long|
[20:05] <|Long|> thanks, kyubutsu
[20:05] <E_Roc> Hey guys, I was wondering how is it possible to remove windows now that I don't want to dual boot anymore.
[20:05] <MishkaEchoes> is this available? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbwNMnNUGFA
[20:05] <MishkaEchoes> is there a guide?
[20:06] <jtr__> E_Roc: delete the partition ?
[20:06] <jtr__> E_Roc: do you want your windows data?
[20:06] <E_Roc> how do you do that? using kubuntu
[20:06] <richard3> i want to install newer version of firefix on a new install of lubuntu.  Synaptic only has version 7.  what do i do
[20:06] <E_Roc> nah I want to wipe it clean with security
[20:06] <E_Roc> for security **
[20:06] <Boontoo> is anyone here familiar with a program that can do automated backups within an individual PC, I am looking at rsync...RAID was too much for me to manage
[20:06] <jtr__> E_Roc: u can try gparted"
[20:06] <E_Roc> gparted?
[20:07] <jtr__> E_Roc: yes in terminal type sudo apt-get install gparted
[20:07] <jtr__> E_Roc: it is a partition manangement tool
[20:07] <Boontoo> I am looking for a program that will basically mirror one disc automatically for a specified time period
[20:07] <electronplusplus> find . -name '*.c'
[20:07] <electronplusplus> what does the dot is for?
[20:07] <E_Roc> Btw, do you think its a good idea to install kubuntu on a 40gb hdd, 512 RAM and 1.40 processor?
[20:07] <E_Roc> ok ill try gparted thanks.
[20:07] <cheeseyc> anybody feel like helping me at least get grub back in order...? bekks: if you can rephrase/simplify your question?
[20:08] <jtr__> electronplusplus: its a pattern u wrote , all files with .c in them will show up, but the first dot means current directory
[20:08] <electronplusplus> jtr__:  thanks :)
[20:08] <Spyros> cheeseyc, for grub2 : grub2-mkconfig > /boot/grub2/grub.cfg  and grub2-install /dev/sd?
[20:08] <jtr__> electronplusplus: with .c in their file names , not content
[20:09] <jtr__> E_Roc: i dont exactly know, but u can check the kubuntu page for exact and recommended requirements
[20:10] <E_Roc> o geeze thanks jtr
[20:10] <jtr__> E_Roc: :)
[20:11] <cheeseyc> spyros: err it's a bit more complicated than that I think - right now I'm not even on my normal Ubuntu profile, I'm booted off a USB because grub 1) boots in rescue mode first 2) freezes a few after I get it working 3) black-screens when I try to load Ubuntu, though my windows loader works fine
[20:11] <alexej> hi, I have a problem with screen - as a user, I get the message "sorry, could not find a pty", I'm running ubuntu 10.04, I also looked up google and forums but didn't find a solution
[20:11] <cheeseyc> spyros: I managed to mount the partition everything's on but I'm very much lost from there on just how to fix or reinstall grub
[20:12] <Spyros> cheeseyc, then it's not grub ;)
[20:12] <cheeseyc> spyros: ...then I literally have no idea where to go to try and fix anything
[20:13] <Spyros> cheeseyc, can you get to Gtrl+Alt+F1
[20:13] <Spyros> cheeseyc, at the end
[20:13] <Spyros> cheeseyc, in the black screen
[20:14] <alexej> ok i just found a solution, this did the trick "mknod --mode 666 /dev/ptmx c 5 2" but at the moment I do not really understand what it do exactly :D
[20:15] <cheeseyc_> Spyros: Given that my laptop just froze up like crazy when I pressed that, probably not
[20:15] <cheeseyc_> (I'm on irc via my phone)
[20:16] <Spyros> cheeseyc, my pc freezes when it enters graphical mode,
[20:17] <MishkaEchoes> is there really no easy way to configure quad monitors on ubuntu
[20:17] <Spyros> cheeseyc, i was  wondering if you could enter through recovery and then do
[20:17] <Spyros> cheeseyc, see at which point it freezes
[20:18] <Spyros> MishkaEchoes, wanna seee that1!
[20:18] <cheeseyc_> Spyros: at which point what freezes specifically? because I have all my freeze spots well and truly memorized
[20:18] <Fodi69> hi, is there anything for unix that is compatible with windows media sharing (streaming) ??
[20:19] <qmanjr5> Is it possible to use wget on a Tor (.onion) address?
[20:19] <MishkaEchoes> Spyros, I'm sorry that1! is a program?
[20:20] <|Long|> hi, who here good with LVM? need ask some Q&A plz
[20:20] <Spyros> MishkaEchoes, srry my typo
[20:20] <Spyros> MishkaEchoes, 1 on the keyboard has the exclamation mark , i mispressed:D
[20:21] <Fodi69> hi, is there anything for linux that is compatible with windows media sharing (streaming) ??
[20:21] <Spyros> MishkaEchoes, i would like to see that!
[20:21] <Spyros> cheeseyc, does it enter recovery mode?
[20:22] <MishkaEchoes> guess its back to windows for me
[20:22] <PrototypeX29A> MishkaEchoes: if you can affort it, it is always the best option :()
[20:23] <cheeseyc> If you mean grub, it goes directly to rescue mode when I turn on my computer. I figured out how to boot from there on my own ages ago using hd0,7. But grub2 still --
[20:23] <bradj> Late last night my server started having a high CPU load, apparently from mysql running away - when it's up it spawns a bunch of xargs processes... any thoughts what's happening?
[20:23] <qmanjr5> Is it possible to use wget on a Tor (.onion) address?
[20:23] <iankp> How does one find out the dpi of a JPEG image?
[20:23] <cheeseyc> -- freezes up shortly after, and if I manage to pick ubuntu prior to the freeze, then that boot stops at a black screen shortly after I get a blinking underscore.
[20:24] <Fodi69> hi, is there anything for linux that is compatible with windows media sharing (streaming) ??
[20:24] <cheeseyc> FYI: am at grub rescue right now.
