[00:00] <Artemis3> you can change the video output in both mplayer and vlc, maybe you have a video issue?
[00:00] <MnFisher> im on 11.10, none nothing for my Unity desktop starts, all updates are installed. Should i reset unity? If so how?
[00:01] <dcherniv> dalek_, check to see what video overlay you got in vlc and try the same it mplayer, totem doesnt let you change that as far as i know though
[00:01] <dalek_> dcherniv, although video is normal speed on mplayer, still no audio. VLC is the only player which is working 100% normal
[00:02] <MnFisher> im on 11.10, none nothing for my Unity desktop starts, all updates are installed. Should i reset unity? If so how?
[00:03] <dalek_> dcherniv, I don't know what video overlay is or where to find it in VLC. Totem was working 100% normal before I re-installed everything.
[00:04] <dcherniv> dalek_, hm, try installing mplayer from medibuntu.org repos
[00:04] <TexasRussian> Anyone know how to fix ubuntu 11.10 not working with my multi touch touchpad?
[00:05] <MnFisher> Hello, The only thing i get when ubuntu Unity starts is desktop wallpaper
[00:05] <TexasRussian> MnFisher, try booting into unity 2D
[00:05] <MnFisher> did that
[00:05] <MnFisher> same result
[00:05] <TexasRussian> oh..
[00:05] <TexasRussian> well, install gnome 3.2
[00:05] <TexasRussian> xD
[00:06] <MnFisher> TexasRussian,  yer not helping
[00:06] <dalek_> dcherniv, medibuntu is already in my repos sources... ?? so does that mean mplayer I have now is from medibuntu repo?
[00:07] <G00053> how do i get my 5.1 to work on an intel 82801JI on 11.10 . changing the settings in the sound manager doesn't seam to work
[00:07] <ceephax> hey has anyone installed mt-daapd on ubuntu server 11.10 ?
[00:09] <spitzi> Hello, can you see this ?
[00:10] <ceephax> spitzi, yes
[00:10] <spitzi> ceephax: cool, thanks
[00:10] <spitzi> Anyway, I've just installed Ubuntu 11.10 and I have a few questions.
[00:11] <dalek_> my video playback was normal. I had to reinstall EVERYTHING. now video playback is jerk-o-vision choppy with no sound in everything EXCEPT VLC. What am i missing???? What have I forgotten to re-install???  READ THIS - http://paste.ubuntu.com/735768/
[00:11] <spitzi> 1) When it loads, I get a white screen with black vertical stripes for a few seconds. What's that ?
[00:12] <kzman> hi, I have a problen with grub, I have installed debian and ubuntu on my HDD, and I installed grub only in ubuntu, and when I run the 'update-grub' command from ubuntu, it creates 3 entries for debian, and it have one linux image only
[00:13] <ceephax> spitzi, try upgrading your graphics card
[00:13] <ceephax> spitzi, perhaps install third party drivers?
[00:13] <ceephax> spitzi, this can appear automatically
[00:14] <dalek_> my video playback was normal. I had to reinstall EVERYTHING. now video playback is jerk-o-vision choppy with no sound in everything EXCEPT VLC. What am i missing???? What have I forgotten to re-install???  READ THIS - UPDATED http://paste.ubuntu.com/735799/
[00:14] <ceephax> spitzi, or do Applications->other->Update Manager
[00:14] <spitzi> ceephax: I did, I installed a third-party Nvidia driver. But I doubt that drivers get to load as early as that white screen appears, which happens right as Ubuntu begins to load -- a time when normally you don't see graphics but textual info.
[00:15] <ceephax> spitzi, oh is this after the grub?
[00:16] <spitzi> ceephax: yes, soon after I choose the option in grub. So a 3 years old graphics cards should already be incompatible with something as simple as a textual boot screen on 11.10 ?
[00:16] <dalek_> It's not like I changed any of my hardware in between wiping my drive and re-installing everything.... so Totem movie player SHOULD still work...
[00:17] <ceephax> spitzi, i dont know it was a suggestion when i mentioned drivers you didnt say it was after grub you said "when it loads"
[00:17] <spitzi> On to my next Question then.
[00:18] <spitzi> 2) How can I eliminate lots of unneeded entries from the grub menu, in a manner which stays persistent even after executing update-grub ?
[00:19] <spitzi> Best would be to not completely eliminate them but put them under some "advanced options", which are still accessible from the grub bootload menu.
[00:20] <tonyyarusso> spitzi: uninstall the relevant kernels
[00:20] <tonyyarusso> that would remove them entirely.  I think there may be a new option for your ideal case...
[00:21] <spitzi> tonyyarusso: :-) I'd rather not uninstall the kernels, just banish them from the main boot menu to some sub-menu.
[00:21] <dcherniv>  dalek_ sorry, stepped away for a second.
[00:21] <dcherniv> dalek_, after you added medibuntu did you apt-get update && apt-get install mplayer?
[00:22] <dalek_> dcherniv, welcome back. Probably.. but I will do it again now.
[00:22] <dcherniv> dalek_, do you have graphic acceleration at all. what does glxinfo say?
[00:24] <spitzi> Thanks, be back later
[00:24] <dalek_> dcherniv, I don't have glxinfo installed but I do have graphic acceleration.
[00:25] <dcherniv> dalek_, can you apt-get install mesa-utils and pastebin glxinfo anyway?
[00:25] <marekw2143> hi, how to install python-xcomp module on ubuntu 11.04 ?
[00:26] <Squidy> Hey man... I'm trying to install ubuntu server 10.04 using preseed methods.. however, when the installer is installing the base system.. it stops with an error message about kernel not found...
[00:26] <Squidy> in the logs I can see: warning kernel override 'linux-server' not present
[00:26] <Squidy> do you know how to solve that?
[00:28] <esben> My keyboard is lagging badly. Every 5 seconds or so it doesnt type, and then spits out all i typed afterwards. This goes on in all applications and even on tty's. Anyone have a clue about what is going on? It just started doing so after it woke up from sspend and has been doing so even after numerous restarts.
[00:28] <BlouBlou> esben: is it happening with other OS too or just with ubuntu?
[00:29] <esben> Dont have any other os iIIIIIIin bios it works fine
[00:29] <esben> what was that? :<
[00:29] <dalek_> dcherniv, here you go - http://paste.ubuntu.com/735806/
[00:30] <BlouBlou> esben: is it wireless?
[00:31] <dcherniv> dalek_, you got nvidia drivers?
[00:31] <esben> no, its the keyboard on a thinkpad r61i
[00:31] <dalek_> dcherniv, yes, the 3rd party nvidia drivers are installed and in use.
[00:31] <Aud1t> esben: booting off internal hdd?
[00:31] <apwbdjp> esben, did you try with a USB keyboard?
[00:31] <insuus> any java programmers here willing to help a learner? : )
[00:32] <Ipanonima> Tengo un problema con el irtualbox podrian ayudarme?
[00:32] <Ipanonima> virtualbox
[00:32] <dalek_> dcherniv, it is a Quadro FX Go700 built into laptop MB if that makes any difference...
[00:32] <esben> booting from internal hdd
[00:32] <dcherniv> dalek_, how did you install them? from nvidia.com or from repos?
[00:32] <zulu> moinmoin
[00:32] <dcherniv> dalek_, Error: glXCreateContext failed doesnt look like its working properly
[00:32] <esben> usb keyboard does the same
[00:33] <Guest18316> kann mir bitte mal jemand einen tipp geben, wo ich den font Arial.ttf für Ubuntu herbomme, und wo muß er installiert werden?
[00:33] <L1nuxRules> have nvidia updated there drivers? if they havet repos will only fix bugs/security
[00:33] <BlouBlou> !german | Guest18316
[00:34] <dalek_> dcherniv, from System > Administration > Additional Drivers (same as I have always done in the past with nvidia graphics cards)...
[00:34] <BlouBlou> L1nuxRules: what drivers? They have a lot of them
[00:34] <apwbdjp> esben, is just the keyboard crashing during these moments, or is everything freezing for a few seconds? Do you notice abnormal processor usage, at those instants?
[00:35] <L1nuxRules> bloublou the gfx, and trust me on this the vendors will never update before the Tux
[00:35] <L1nuxRules> apart from hardware obviously
[00:35] <esben> Its just the keyboard. It registers the keypresses though, but they appear 5 seconds later
[00:36] <dalek_> dcherniv, I could try disabling 3rd party drivers for nvidia, then reinstall them... I have not tried that yet.
[00:36] <glioros> how can i create the following file
[00:36] <glioros> ./var/lib/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/run
[00:36] <johntron> can anyone recommend a good process monitoring tool for a process i've developed?
[00:36] <glioros> ?
[00:36] <dcherniv> dalek_, if you're ok with command line i would suggest clean install from nvidia.com site
[00:36] <esben> or wait.... kworker thread is using 30-60% cpu (!)
[00:36] <BlouBlou> L1nuxRules: err... they do. They've the newest version called "nvidia-current", for example, the oldiest was 93, after it they released 173, and few more
[00:37] <johntron> ie monitor or supervisor
[00:37] <L1nuxRules> and I dont know what the issue reported is just being generalistic
[00:37] <esben> wonder what happens if i kill it ^_^
[00:38] <L1nuxRules> bloublou I entered mid convo
[00:38] <glioros> ??
[00:38] <dcherniv> glioros, ahh. qmail, good luck. :)
[00:38] <dalek_> dcherniv, I have done that in the past with my old laptop, but this one has always worked with the 3rd party drivers thing from the system menu....
[00:39] <glioros> dcherniv why everybody is saying me good luck with qmail ??
[00:39] <L1nuxRules> qmail isnt bad > postfix (these days)
[00:39] <glioros> over 30 people
[00:39] <Andrewx> For some reason none of the system bus plugins are being loaded on startup on my machine and the boot process freezes at "*Starting network connection manager
[00:39] <dcherniv> glioros, qmail is a pain to configure.
[00:39] <Andrewx> "
[00:39] <Andrewx> Would anyone know about fixing this issue?
[00:39] <quixotedon> i can't send email with thundermail using gmail client, any solution?
[00:39] <glioros> ./var/lib/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/run
[00:40] <glioros> so need to create this file ?
[00:40] <L1nuxRules> depends on the issue
[00:40] <glioros> how to create it ?
[00:41] <Andrewx> Also, when I try to boot mysql from recovery mode I get "Unable to connect to system bus: failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: no such file or directory
[00:42] <Andrewx> So I believe the system bus might be messed up.
[00:42] <Andrewx> Any Idea on how to correct this
[00:42] <Andrewx> ?
[00:42] <L1nuxRules> glioros if that directory isnt present you sure qmail is instaalled? Your on an Ubuntu server yes? Whats dpkg -l or dpkg --list | grep qmail show?
[00:42] <MoMo> how do i run a cron job from inside a path ... say i have /dir1/dir2/script.py  ... but i want to execute it from /dir1/dir2 as if I CD in to that the n run it
[00:43] <dcherniv> glioros, http://itsjustit.co.uk/chalfontcomputers/
[00:43] <tonyyarusso> MoMo: cd /dir1/dir2 && ./script.py
[00:43] <MoMo> thx
[00:43] <dcherniv> glioros, last i ran qmail was on freebsd, the above page seems to be pretty much the way i did it slightly changed for debian
[00:44] <L1nuxRules> MoMo just include the ful path in thee cron job
[00:44] <L1nuxRules> *needs a new keyboard
[00:44] <MoMo> L1nuxRules: i tried that -- doesn't work
[00:44] <glioros> dcherniv i read this :)
[00:45] <glioros> the link you send me an still in trouble...
[00:45] <L1nuxRules> momo what failed and what you trying to run?
[00:45] <glioros> guys is there a command in terminal so to rebuild the server?
[00:45] <Gskellig> does anybody know how to get an xbox360 wired controller working with ubuntu?
[00:45] <apwbdjp> MoMo, I agree with tonyyarusso, try that and let us know.
[00:46] <dalek_> dcherniv, oh yeah I just remembered another thing - before my mass re-install, I used to be able to set both the laptop LCD AND a TV set (through S-VHS port) to "Separate X Screen" - now I can only use "Twinview" or have one screen on and the other off. This could be related to my video playback problem somehow?
[00:47] <w0_> I'm trying to drag-n-drop a program icon onto the launcher bar, but it doesn't stay .. what am I missing?
[00:47] <ryan_46> Hi. I installed Bluetile  (window manager) and I have it running but it does not start properly at login shell. I have to wait, get blank desktop  then create a folder on the desktop.  etc
[00:47] <glioros> guys is there a command in terminal so to rebuild the server?
[00:47] <dcherniv> dalek_, hard to tell.
[00:47] <L1nuxRules> momo Im old skool Linux so can fix complicated issues although new people may be skilled there not 100%
[00:48] <L1nuxRules> I used slackware for years
[00:49] <benzap> hello
[00:49] <windows> why synaptics can't work in unity?
[00:49] <Gskellig> anyone? xbox360 controller on ubuntu?
[00:49] <benzap> I'm having a problem with an ubuntu server upgrade
[00:49] <benzap> I just finished the upgrade
[00:49] <benzap> and now when I ssh to it
[00:50] <benzap> it goes to a blank screen
[00:50] <benzap> I can send remote commands
[00:50] <Dark_Apostrophe> windows: I've got a touchpad using the Synaptics driver, and I have no trouble using it on Unity
[00:50] <benzap> but I can't access the terminal
[00:50] <w0_> why can I not drag and drop a program on to my launcher?
[00:50] <ryan_46> windows:  You can install synaptic from software center.
[00:50] <L1nuxRules> @ windows because Ubuntu is for Windows noobs who want to try a better OS
[00:50] <Dark_Apostrophe> ryan_46: Synaptic and synaptics are two different things.
[00:50] <Dark_Apostrophe> The former is a package manager UI, the latter a touchpad driver
[00:51] <ryan_46> Right just saw that.
[00:51] <ryan_46> Thanks Dark_Apostrophe
[00:51] <Zer0> Yo
[00:51] <apwbdjp> benzap, what do you mean send commands, but not access terminal?
[00:52] <L1nuxRules> and you could still update your OS if you knew how to use apt-get or aptitude
[00:52] <Guest26631> Apwbdjp
[00:52] <benzap> apwbdjp: for example i could go ssh benzap@blah "ls -a"
[00:52] <benzap> and it would return the result
[00:52] <benzap> but if i try and directly access it
[00:53] <Guest26631> Done
[00:53] <benzap> it goes to a blank screen
[00:53] <benzap> i'm under the impression it has something to do with screen, but i'm not sure
[00:53] <benzap> gnu screen
[00:54] <benzap> anyone have this problem
[00:54] <L1nuxRules> benzap whats the isssue your asking about?
[00:54] <apwbdjp> benzap, was screen configured to be your default shell?
[00:54] <benzap> i upgraded a server to 10,04, and after the upgrade, when I try and ssh into the box
[00:55] <benzap> it shows a blacnk screen after authentication
[00:55] <yeats> benzap: from ssh?
[00:55] <benzap> with a prompt
[00:55] <benzap> yes
[00:55] <benzap> however
[00:55] <benzap> if i can still perform remote commands on it
[00:55] <benzap> for instance ssh benzap@blah "ls -a"
[00:55] <benzap> will return the listings
[00:55] <apwbdjp> benzap, try to launch bash from ssh
[00:56] <apwbdjp> benzap, ssh benzap@blash "bash"
[00:56] <benzap> ssh benzap@blah "bash" goes blank
[00:56] <apwbdjp> Then it's not screen
[00:56] <benzap> ok
[00:56] <yeats> benzap: when you say "blank" - you mean that nothing is visible on the screen, not even the prompt?
[00:56] <benzap> yeah, it just sits there after i perform that
[00:57] <apwbdjp> benzap, you sshing from another linux box?
[00:57] <benzap> prompt is always visible in a terminal :/
[00:57] <L1nuxRules> benzap tail your /var/log/messages on attempting a connection what does it show? Have you also restarted sshd
[00:57] <benzap> it doesn't do anything, however
[00:57] <derek_> I can't get rhythmbox to burn my CDs through Brasero.  I tell it to burn my playlist, and it says I need to do it over several discs.  That's fine, but nothing happens when I click the button!
[00:57] <derek_> How can I fix this?
[00:58] <L1nuxRules> regarding messages on the server but might also be worth looking on the desktop
[00:58] <benzap> L1nuxRules: tail on /var/log/messages shows nothing fishy
[00:59] <benzap> i had to restart to finish the upgrade
[00:59] <benzap> i could try restarting it again?
[00:59] <yeats> benzap: I'm still not understanding - you're getting a screen with 'benzap@blah:~$' and a blinking cursor? or you're getting a blank screen with no text or anything?
[00:59] <tapir> Hi there any way to convert the contents of a file srt (subtitles) to uppercase
[00:59] <benzap> no
[00:59] <L1nuxRules> benzap is port 22 open ? are you the admin? has anyone done work on the server for you?
[00:59] <benzap> i'm just getting a  blinking cursor
[00:59] <yeats> benzap: ah
[01:00] <benzap> it's like nothing is appearing after i try and access it
[01:00] <L1nuxRules> reboots dont fix issues on Linux
[01:00] <benzap> yeah
[01:00] <L1nuxRules> you restart services on Linux not the box
[01:00] <benzap> L1nuxRules: port 22 is open, it's on a router
[01:00] <apwbdjp> L1nuxRules, the sshd is working fine with him. he can send commands. bash is the only thing that doesn't give him a prompt.
[01:00] <benzap> i'm the admin
[01:00] <benzap> yeah
[01:00] <benzap> it's rather odd
[01:01] <apwbdjp> benzap, tried sh?
[01:01] <benzap> hmm i'll give that a shot
[01:01] <L1nuxRules> benzap whats ls -lh /bin | grep bash show, maybe a symlink to /bin/dash
[01:02] <benzap> sh doesn't work
[01:02] <benzap> :S
[01:02] <benzap> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 800K 2010-04-18 21:51 bash
[01:02] <lapion> hmm I see more and more people going over to linuxmint.. that's what you get for pushing unity........
[01:02] <benzap> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    4 2011-11-11 18:51 rbash -> bash
[01:02] <benzap> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    4 2011-11-11 18:51 sh.distrib -> bash
[01:02] <benzap> for L1nuxRules
[01:02] <FloodBot1> benzap: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:02] <L1nuxRules> when you say sh doesent work . You meah scripts or ssh?
[01:02] <apwbdjp> L1nuxRules, he meant dash doesn't give him a prompt either
[01:03] <benzap> thought sh was a shell?
[01:03] <Abisu> hello
[01:03] <yeats> benzap: sh is the system shell (actually a symlink to dash in ubuntu by default)
[01:03] <apwbdjp> benzap, pretty old one, yeah.
[01:03] <L1nuxRules> benzap whats your servers IP
[01:03] <benzap> server is on my router
[01:03] <benzap> so <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:04] <lapion> benzap, in what way are you trying to execute sh ?
[01:04] <L1nuxRules> so its all accessible on localhost?
[01:04] <benzap> ssh benzap@foo "sh"
[01:04] <benzap> oh wait...
[01:05] <alligator> Salut
[01:05] <lapion> benzap, the user account probably doesn't have a shell set..
[01:05] <benzap> $term?
[01:05] <lapion> benzap, you have to modify the user file in the router
[01:05] <apwbdjp> lapion, but he tried forcing it to run bash and dash, shouldn't that work?
[01:05] <benzap> lapion: errr, doubt that
[01:06] <benzap> the router doesn't have anything to do with my problem
[01:06] <IR2558> hols
[01:06] <IR2558> hola algun español
[01:06] <haylo_> i am having a problem with the screen snapping to full size and i cant resize the bottom how do i disable this feature in unity?
[01:06] <lapion> apwbdjp, if the user on the router has /dev/null as sh then you cannot run /bin/sh
[01:06] <IR2558> algun español?????????
[01:06] <haylo_> t i mean in firefox app
[01:06] <IR2558> queme pueda ayudar
[01:06] <Logan_> !es | IR2558
[01:06] <L1nuxRules> haylo_ remove unity and install gnome
[01:06] <apwbdjp> lapion, but he tried bash too..
[01:06] <lapion> IR2558, este canal no es para los de habla espanol
[01:06] <IR2558> ok gracias
[01:07] <lapion> apwbdjp, if the user account has /dev/null as shell you cannot start sh
[01:08] <apwbdjp> lapion, I said he threw in bash, as a command.
[01:08] <apwbdjp> benzap, can't you put a head on the machine, and check what's going on?
[01:08] <haylo_> i tried the classic ubutnu and its same should i intstll gnome dektop or just liek xununtu desktop i would rather just switch that stupidfeature off in unity ubuntu that snap to fullscrteen thing
[01:08] <lapion> apwbdjp, he needs to specify the path..
[01:08] <benzap> $SHELL in the environment variables is set to /bin/bash
[01:08] <benzap> their is no $term
[01:09] <yeats> !nounity | haylo_
[01:09] <lapion> apwbdjp, however if shell is set to /dv/null usually the user cannot run commands or shells
[01:09] <L1nuxRules> haylo_ Im old skoll linux I meant remove all packages on removal
[01:09] <apwbdjp> lapion, I see.. didn't know that.
[01:09] <apwbdjp> anyway he says it's not /dev/null.
[01:09] <lapion> cat he look into the passwd file ?
[01:09] <benzap> would having $term blank be an issue?
[01:10] <L1nuxRules> lol /dev/null is nn exsitant file
[01:10] <benzap> i tried running byobu, and it says their is no term variable set
[01:10] <bort900> do colors not work in limechat?
[01:10] <L1nuxRules> /dev/null has alot of uses thoughj
[01:10] <apwbdjp> L1nuxRules, indeed, it has.
[01:11] <lapion> /dev/zero is even nicer..
[01:11] <L1nuxRules> stop changing things like M$
[01:11] <lapion> /dev/null has a different functionality then /dev/zero
[01:12] <L1nuxRules> fair dos , does it have aa man page I never used it
[01:13] <apwbdjp> benzap, TERM is what has to be set, and in your case it is.
[01:13] <L1nuxRules> or is /dev/zero a sym link?
[01:13] <guidov> i/lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic
[01:13] <haylo_> yeah i can do all that LinuxRules but it is just ridiculus that i cant get the damn firefox window back normal!! i
[01:13] <guidov> i'm supposed to have a /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/build directory but i don't have one
[01:13] <guidov> how can i fix this?
[01:14] <lapion> when running the first level shell there usually is no environment variable for the PATH so you have specify the path to your shell program eg: /bin/sh or /bin/bash
[01:14] <L1nuxRules> haylo_ you obviously didnt understand my last 2 questions
[01:15] <L1nuxRules> dont wory if you didnt, its an Ubuntu channel not Linnux
[01:15] <benzap> why isn't this workinggg
[01:15] <benzap> it doesn't make any sense
[01:15] <lapion> and ubuntu's not linnux however it is linux...
[01:15] <apwbdjp> benzap, is it possible to put a head on the server?
[01:16] <lapion> uil.. ubuntu is linux
[01:16] <benzap> everyone on my server works, the file server works
[01:16] <L1nuxRules> thats a typo on a keyboard with a dody A :)
[01:16] <benzap> i just can't ssh to it
[01:16] <L1nuxRules> benzap is port 22 open try nmap ip -p 22
[01:17] <benzap> all the ports all open... i'm not behind a firewall when it's on the same router as me
[01:17] <haylo_> thats not fair LinuxRules because you odidnt ask any questions
[01:17] <lapion> benzap, not if the ports are open but if the port is active
[01:17] <i3luefire> so... what is the deal with the no spare file error? can i get rid of it without reinstalling mint with a separate /boot partition that isnt btrfs?
[01:17] <haylo_> but i will stop using unity if it makes me look like a total noob
[01:18] <bonhoffer> anyone know how i see my processor speed and temperature in 11.10?
[01:18] <sasori> am having a problem, where to find the swap files of a txt file?..because whenever i do "vi test.txt" ..am seeing this E325 ATTENTION message
[01:18] <benzap> nmap command not found
[01:18] <lapion> bonhoffer, sorry that's another feature of unity..
[01:18] <sasori> i tried /var/tmp ..then ls -la  , i saw no, swap files at all
[01:18] <benzap> i don't have it installed I guess
[01:19] <bonhoffer> lapion: sorry? i missed your comment
[01:19] <Eeinstein> Yo
[01:19] <sikun> should a desktop with 1.25GB of RAM, P4 3.0ghz, Radeon 9800GT run ubuntu 11.10 decently? I have it installed and it just seems really sluggish at times
[01:19] <apwbdjp> sasori, vim swap files are right next to the text file itself, it has the same file with a ~ at the beggining (or at the end, not sure)
[01:19] <truepurple> Can someone help me install smplayer?
[01:19] <apwbdjp> sasori, same file name*, sorry
[01:19] <L1nuxRules> sorry benzap Im stoned but can help, what was the issue again>?
[01:20] <sasori> apwbdjp: thanks, found them in the same dir :D
[01:20] <benzap> when i try and ssh into my server, it blank screens, when I send it remote ssh commands, it responds
[01:20] <benzap> so ls -a will return a response
[01:20] <lapion> bonhoffer, one of the features of unity is loss of functionality
[01:20] <benzap> namely ssh benzap@blah "ls -a"
[01:20] <L1nuxRules> benzap what you using as your ssh client?
[01:20] <benzap> i'm using ssh
[01:21] <lapion> benzap, try ssh benzap@blah /bin/bash
[01:21] <i3luefire> is there a way to do it or not?
[01:21] <lapion> benzap, or try ssh benzap@blah /bin/sh
[01:21] <L1nuxRules> benzap so your on a Linux box and a terminal? Im asking because I deal with to many windows people
[01:21] <benzap> blank
[01:22] <benzap> i'm on a linux terminal on a netbook
[01:22] <benzap> on the same router as this file server
[01:22] <lapion> bonhoffer, one of the other features of unity is loss of all the experienced users that can help less experienced users.. most of the experienced users jump shipo
[01:22] <L1nuxRules> what does ssh localhost do?
[01:23] <benzap> says refused, I don't have an ssh server setup on this netbook
[01:23] <i3luefire> lapion: yep. thats why i went to mint
[01:23] <L1nuxRules> benzap and you havent locked it down by nkeys or anything?
[01:23] <benzap> L1nuxRules: this ssh problem all started after I upgraded my ubuntu server
[01:24] <lapion> i3luefire, that's why I am on 10.04/classic/metacity --replace
[01:24] <benzap> it upgraded, asked to restart
[01:24] <L1nuxRules> benzap what version from > to
[01:24] <lapion> benzap, restart it
[01:24] <benzap> it was something like 8.04 to 10.04
[01:24] <benzap> pretty steep upgrade
[01:25] <L1nuxRules> desktop wise that is fine server no
[01:25] <bonhoffer> how do i change the default boot device is that only in bios?
[01:25] <lapion> benzap, or try ssh benzap@blah "init 6"
[01:25] <szal> bonhoffer: haven't heard of any other way yet
[01:25] <L1nuxRules> lapion do you even know what that does?
[01:26] <i3luefire> lapion: but i need to find out if i can get rid of the error no sparse file without putting /boot on an ex* part
[01:26] <bonhoffer> szal: thanks
[01:26] <L1nuxRules> main thing to check is sshd started?
[01:26] <truepurple> Can someone help me install smplayer?
[01:26] <bonhoffer> truepurple: did you search in software center?
[01:26] <apwbdjp> L1nuxRules, he can throw single commands and get output via ssh, so I believe it is
[01:26] <lapion> L1nuxRules, init 6 sets the system flag to reboot
[01:27] <insuus> truepurple sudo apt-get install smplayer
[01:27] <L1nuxRules> lapion exactly when theres no need to reboot the server
[01:27] <Hollow> Test
[01:27] <Eeinstein> test
[01:27] <lapion> L1nuxRules, you did an upgrade that requiered a reboot...
[01:27] <truepurple> bonhoffer, it is in software center, but it is tied to a older mplayer version. I just had a bunch of help installing a newer version of mplayer, I need a smplayer that points to it.
[01:27] <szal> truepurple: unless you're on KDE or IceWM, you might be better off installing gmplayer
[01:27] <L1nuxRules> trhis isnt windowxs :)
[01:28] <lapion> L1nuxRules, when you replace library files sometimes you need to reboot
[01:28] <bonhoffer> truepurple: can you install it from source?
[01:28] <truepurple> insuus, will that command install its own mplayer version, or attach it to the existing mplayer?
[01:28] <L1nuxRules> lapion only reboot for kernels but that wasnt waht I replied to your reply
[01:28] <lapion> L1nuxRules, I ahve been working with linux since 1996......
[01:28] <truepurple> bonhoffer, I don't even entirely know what that means
[01:28] <benzap> ok, i restarted it
[01:28] <benzap> gonna give it a while
[01:29] <L1nuxRules> lapion good for you and longer than me :)
[01:29] <truepurple> szal, that is a better front end? If so, how do I install that gmplayer, so it doesn't install its own mplayer but instead gets tied to the existing mplayer?
[01:29] <lapion> L1nuxRules, otherwhise try restarting the ssh server on the server
[01:29] <bonhoffer> truepurple: o.k. i can't walk through it right now -- i have to run -- but google build from source on ubuntu
[01:29] <insuus> truepurple why don't you just install vlc?
[01:29] <L1nuxRules> lapion I work with end users so have to be careful
[01:29] <L1nuxRules> *L
[01:30] <szal> truepurple: at least gmplayer doesn't require Qt, like smplayer does
[01:30] <Albega> Please don't forget to support KDE, It needs our help.  |----> http://blog.lydiapintscher.de/2011/10/10/help-kde-e-v-secure-funding-for-a-sprint-with-just-a-few-clicks/
[01:30] <truepurple> insuus, I have vlc installed, it doesn't cut it
[01:30] <sidewalk> how do i change the screen resolution in 11.10 from commandline?
[01:30] <L1nuxRules> gnome >> kde < xfce
[01:30] <benzap> well this is strange
[01:31] <lapion> L1nuxRules, maybe a stale older version ssh server is still running, maybe you are still logged in some ssh session ?
[01:31] <apwbdjp> benzap, ?
[01:31] <jgallen23> anybody know a workaround for installing imagemagick on 11.10?  getting an error, this is 404ing http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/cups/libcupsimage2_1.5.0-8ubuntu2_i386.deb
[01:31] <truepurple> szal, and what is the significance of that?
[01:31] <dcherniv> truepurple, smplayer is just a frontend. mplayer is one of the dependencies for smplayer.
[01:31] <garo> Does xubuntu use the same package sources as ubuntu ?
[01:31] <benzap> it doens't even return remote commands anymore
[01:31] <benzap> just hangs altogether
[01:31] <L1nuxRules> only decent distro thats ever used kde has been slackware
[01:31] <insuus> truepurple what are you trying to do? what video format are you trying to play
[01:31] <szal> truepurple: less overhead of shared libs and stuff
[01:31] <dcherniv> sidewalk, xrandr if you have normal drivers, ie not ati or nvidia
[01:31] <apwbdjp> benzap, nmap your server (install if you have to)
[01:31] <truepurple> dcherniv, I know that, I need a front end for the mplayer version I have just installed with alot of work and commands
[01:31] <xangua> garo: it has the same repositories, yes
[01:32] <szal> truepurple: and how did you install that 'newer version'?
[01:32] <truepurple> insuus, mkv mostly
[01:32] <garo> so ubuntu and xubuntu are actually the same distro, but with another default installation
[01:32] <sidewalk> dcherniv: and if i do have nvidia?
[01:32] <apwbdjp> brb
[01:33] <truepurple> szal, someone in the mplayer chat room guided me through it, alot of stuff had to be done. s/he said that it was a version that wasnt even released yet
[01:33] <L1nuxRules> lapion on the server do a ps aux for sshd kill any sessions
[01:33] <dcherniv> truepurple, ah compiled from source? then you'll have to compile smplayer too.
[01:33] <xangua> garo: ubuntu use gnome and xuubntu xfce, kubuntu kde, lubuntu lxde
[01:33] <garo> and it should be possible by removing and installing packages and making some changes in /etc to transform one into the other
[01:33] <garo> right ?
[01:33] <benzap> i'm honestly thinking of just doing a fresh install on the server
[01:33] <benzap> this is annoying
[01:34] <truepurple> dcherniv,  szal commands like "mkdir source ; cd source ; svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer ; cd mplayer ; configure ; make -j4"
[01:34] <dcherniv> sidewalk, might still be able to use xrandr
[01:34] <benzap> lapion: tried nmap
[01:34] <lapion> L1nuxRules, nope then you lose all possibility to login.. better to do:
[01:34] <dcherniv> sidewalk, try it
[01:34] <benzap> says host seems down
[01:34] <insuus> truepurple thats building from source : )
[01:35] <Eeinstein> Yo
[01:35] <benzap> yeaa, i'm just gonna rip it out and run a keyboard and mouse on it
[01:35] <L1nuxRules> laapion now you dont you kill the open logins then restart ssh if you want to worry
[01:35] <benzap> i'll do that tomorrow
[01:35] <szal> <- gone
[01:35] <insuus> truepurple mkv files play just fine in vlc for me. its just a blueray format
[01:35] <benzap> thanks for the hekp
[01:35] <apwbdjp> benzap, you sure it didn't just move ips, on the network? Ask your router
[01:35] <apwbdjp> benzap, that would work too.
[01:35] <truepurple> insuus, well its not working right for me.
[01:35] <benzap> i have it setup to always have the same ip on my router
[01:36] <sidewalk> dcherniv: im not able to run nvidia-settings remotely over ssh
[01:36] <KingPin> hey folks anyone here use the landscape client? it seems to leave me with thousands of defunct "fuser" procs
[01:36] <L1nuxRules> sidewalk how are you attempting?
[01:36] <sidewalk> LightDM Display Manager fails to start
[01:37] <L1nuxRules> ^^
[01:37] <insuus> truepurple , i see. well, gmplayer might be a better solution then . building from source and then trying to troubleshoot usually is for advanced
[01:37] <benzap> i ran nmap on my remote ip
[01:37] <benzap> and it works
[01:37] <benzap> sees my webserver etc
[01:37] <L1nuxRules> Linux >> Windows < user
[01:37] <apwbdjp> benzap, sees port 22 too?
[01:38] <benzap> yes, says it's filtered
[01:38] <truepurple> insuus, how can I install gmplayer so it is connected to the current install of mplayer, and doesn't try to install its own mplayer?
[01:38] <L1nuxRules> locked by IP
[01:38] <apwbdjp> benzap, and ssh still can't run any command?
[01:38] <dcherniv> sidewalk, are you trying to change the resolution over ssh?
[01:38] <lapion> benzap, L1nuxRules pretty hard to kill all sshd's without risking lockout
[01:38] <crocket> Can anybody mount mdf files with mount?
[01:38] <i3luefire> ok what is the deal with getting this laptop to connect using the wired network?
[01:38] <L1nuxRules> is sshd locked down to IP
[01:38] <dcherniv> truepurple, compile it from source thats the only way.
[01:39] <sidewalk> well, im trying to run commercial drivers for my nvidia card instead of the open sourced ones
[01:39] <L1nuxRules> lapion I dont advise noob ways
[01:39] <sidewalk> but when i change drivers, X wont start
[01:39] <xangua> truepurple: with gnome-mplayer you can select manually the binary of the mplayer you compiled....or next time just stick to the packages provided by your repository
[01:39] <sidewalk> lightdm fails to start
[01:39] <L1nuxRules> lapion I learnt by breaking stuff
[01:39] <truepurple> dcherniv, and how do I do that? googling random instructions has not worked out so well for me before
[01:39] <dcherniv> sidewalk, what does your /var/log/Xorg.0.log say
[01:39] <benzap> ok, that's strange
[01:39] <truepurple> xangua, the package provided my my repository was inadequate
[01:40] <apwbdjp> benzap, what is?
[01:40] <benzap> it's like the server disappeared
[01:40] <benzap> wtf
[01:40] <benzap> i'm going to have to check my router
[01:40] <sidewalk> ah, w8
[01:40] <L1nuxRules> benzap the FS could be RO
[01:40] <L1nuxRules> thats file system read only
[01:40] <truepurple> xangua, I did not understand the first half of what you said
[01:41] <lapion> L1nuxRules, the best way is to get the ssh script to stop and the start up again a short time in the future, becuase if you are using ssh to kill all sshd's it will never kill the one used to execute the command through ssh
[01:41] <truepurple> xangua,  gnome-mplayer is a front end?
[01:41] <L1nuxRules> lapion no
[01:41] <L1nuxRules> its not a script for 1 its a daemon
[01:42] <Eeinstein> ...
[01:42] <lapion> "mount -o remount -o rw /" should fix a read-only fs
[01:42] <dcherniv> truepurple, did you compile mplayer from source?
[01:42] <kang_> hi
[01:42] <jeff_> Hi all, can someone help me with a sound question?
[01:42] <L1nuxRules> lapion not if it needs an fsck
[01:42] <apwbdjp> L1nuxRules, they're scripts, actually.
[01:42] <truepurple> dcherniv, seems so
[01:42] <xangua> truepurple: yes
[01:43] <lapion> L1nuxRules, it's the sysv system that uses scripts to (re)start the sshdeamon
[01:43] <xangua> truepurple: but is not gmplayer i believe, anyway you can select the mplayer binaty with any fronted
[01:43] <L1nuxRules> apwbdjp> learn waht yourt talking about trust me
[01:43] <benzap> ok wt
[01:43] <lapion> L1nuxRules, sshd is being kept active by a script
[01:43] <benzap> does the mac address for a ubuntu server change?
[01:44] <benzap> that doesn't seem to make sense
[01:44] <apwbdjp> L1nuxRules, you realise he was talking about what you use to stop, start and restart sshd? not the sshd itself.
[01:44] <truepurple> xangua, you mean you can select which mplayer the smplayer is pointed to after the fac
[01:44] <L1nuxRules> lapion theres alot of different ways to start services in Linux
[01:44] <benzap> it's hardware based
[01:44] <Guest91034> I can't seem to get any sound.  What can I do?
[01:44] <lapion> the key to the ssh server might have changed...
[01:44] <L1nuxRules> I strted using /rc.d
[01:44] <xangua> truepurple: on the preferences
[01:44] <L1nuxRules> then djusted to /etc/init.d
[01:45] <benzap> it didn't
[01:45] <lapion> L1nuxRules, sshd runs from sysv init scripts
[01:45] <benzap> I think the server is just missing
[01:45] <apwbdjp> L1nuxRules, which aren't deamons.
[01:45] <truepurple> xangua, is there a way to install smplayer without it triggering its own mplayer installation?
[01:45] <benzap> i'm just gonna reinstall from scratch
[01:45] <L1nuxRules> sshd is though
[01:45] <benzap> upgrading from such a low ubuntu version was a bad idea
[01:45] <theborger> hey guys having an issue installing nvidia drivers on 10.04
[01:45] <theborger> i was following this guide http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html
[01:46] <theborger> but mine never errors out. just boots straight ot desktop
[01:46] <sasori> what do you call the scenario/situation , if in linux, the full screen is a terminal ?
[01:46] <KM0201> console --- sasori
[01:46] <L1nuxRules> ssh is a client and server btw
[01:46] <Guest91034> Is there a way to downgrade to version 10 again?  Ever since I upgraded to 11.10 I've had nothing but problems.
[01:46] <apwbdjp> benzap, maybe you could put a screen and a keyboard on the server first, to see what's going on.
[01:46] <sasori> ok, how to get back to the gnome? if am on the console mode thing?
[01:46] <lapion> L1nuxRules, you are lost.. sshd is a server ssh is a client
[01:47] <L1nuxRules> lapion sshd is ssh server not client read the man pages
[01:47] <xangua> Guest91034: other than reinstall, no
[01:47] <lapion> L1nuxRules, are you telling me putty is a server
[01:47] <KM0201> sasori: um, try ctrl + alt + f7
[01:47] <L1nuxRules> putty is for Linux noobs like your self
[01:47] <KM0201> ..
[01:47] <Eeinstein> ...
[01:47] <lapion> L1nuxRules, please distinguish between the sshd ssh server and the ssh client
[01:47] <bjblaz> ....
[01:47] <theborger> someone point in in the right direction?
[01:47]  * KM0201 didn't even know putty had a Linux version..
[01:48] <sasori> kewl..thanks KM0201 ..it worked
[01:48] <L1nuxRules> sshd is a server (daemon) thats the d at the end
[01:48] <apwbdjp> L1nuxRules, you were right about being stonned..
[01:48] <KM0201> sasori: np.. :)
[01:48] <L1nuxRules> ssh is the client
[01:48] <apwbdjp> KM0201, I found that out when I found putty for android phones
[01:48] <lapion> L1nuxRules, so don't come telling that ssh is a server and a client..
[01:48] <KM0201> sasori: just for the record contrl + alt + f1-f6, will get you different console screens, f7, takes you back to X
[01:49] <L1nuxRules> dont you know the diff
[01:49] <sasori> ok, let's say am coding in console mode. and i wanna take a screen shot..is that possible ?
[01:49] <lapion> there is a ssh server and a ssh client.. usually they are not interchangeable
[01:49] <Guest91034> In Ubuntu 11.10, where can I find the Systems Monitor?
[01:49] <apwbdjp> L1nuxRules, we do, you just didn't seem to.. Anyway this isn't going anywhere anymore.
[01:49] <L1nuxRules> servers and clients  are 2 different things
[01:50] <apwbdjp> L1nuxRules, says the guyswho just said ssh is a client and a server at the same time.
[01:50] <KM0201> sasori: hmm, i don't think so.
[01:50] <L1nuxRules> just because your new to ssh its just the same as ftp , smtpm or http
[01:50] <lapion> L1nuxRules,  please do not put words in my mouth but proofread what you post before posting:"<L1nuxRules> ssh is a client and server btw"
[01:50] <L1nuxRules> ^^^ NOOBS
[01:50] <apwbdjp> lapion, if I was you I'd give up on this guy. He's hopeless.
[01:50] <bjblaz> i prefer boobs
[01:51] <Guest91034> Ugh this is very frustrating.  anybody know how to turn on the sound in ubuntu 11.10?
[01:51] <smw> lapion, ssh is a protocol
[01:51] <arooni-mobile> i'm connected to a wireless network with my 11.10 ubuntu laptop.  is there a way to allow my internet connection to be shared to my android phone?
[01:51] <lapion> L1nuxRules, eat your own words
[01:51] <L1nuxRules> lol you think ssh is the same as sshd? lmao
[01:51]  * KM0201 chuckles at people calling others noobs... it's almost like guys talking about how big their package is... it only identifies their own insecurities
[01:51] <apwbdjp> arooni-mobile, can't your android phone reach the wireless network itself?
[01:52] <smw> L1nuxRules, they are both openssh...
[01:52] <KM0201> sasori: see if any of these will get you a screenshot in console...  http://tips.webdesign10.com/how-to-take-a-screenshot-with-ubuntu-linux
[01:52] <L1nuxRules> ok so ssh isnt different from sshd ? sorry gui ppl old skool Linux admins would slap you :)
[01:52] <lapion> L1nuxRules, you said that not me
[01:52] <urlin2u> !ot
[01:52] <L1nuxRules> no I didnt
[01:52] <CarlFK> who actually has an ssh related problem?
[01:53] <L1nuxRules> thts what I meant to say if it was different typos
[01:53] <KM0201> CarlFK: i think L1nuxRules just likes ranting about how smart he is.
[01:53] <apwbdjp> lapion, smw, the guy isn't stupid, he's just bored tonight, and I'm not gonna entertain him.
[01:53] <CarlFK> all this chatter about what ssh is and isn't has gotten pretty old.
[01:53] <L1nuxRules> I dont
[01:53] <urlin2u> take the arguments to #ubuntu-offtopic and slap each others ego's there.
[01:53] <lapion> and I quote: 02:47:09"<L1nuxRules> ssh is a client and server btw"
[01:53] <bjblaz> is there an easy way to set the default display settings in ubuntu 11.10 (like there was in 11.04)?
[01:54] <CarlFK> lapion: why are you quoting??  no, don't answer that.  just drop it.  please.
[01:54] <urlin2u> bjblaz, the resolution?
[01:54] <L1nuxRules> lapion well shows you didnt unsterstand what I said
[01:54] <arooni-mobile> i'm connected to a wireless network with my 11.10 ubuntu laptop.  is there a way to allow my internet connection to be shared to my android phone?
[01:54] <L1nuxRules> ssh is the client sshd is the server....
[01:54] <CarlFK> L1nuxRules: you too.  please.
[01:54] <bjblaz> urlin2u: actually, i just want my laptop to boot up with the laptop screen off
[01:54] <lapion> L1nuxRules, stop thorlling
[01:54] <bjblaz> without my having to log in first
[01:55] <urlin2u> bjblaz, not sure there sorry.
[01:55] <smw> L1nuxRules, you are absolutely right and there is nothing else to discuss.
[01:55] <L1nuxRules> smw ty
[01:55] <Guest91034> How can I locate Applications/System Tools in Ubuntu 11.10?
[01:55] <urlin2u> Guest91034, what are you actually trying to do?
[01:56] <Guest91034> urlin2u, I want to get the sound working.
[01:56] <xangua> Guest91034: open the dash and type the app name you want
[01:56] <Guest91034> When I type System Tools nothing happens
[01:56] <insuus> Guest91034, type this in terminal: sudo apt-get sound working
[01:57] <insuus> rofl
[01:57] <lapion> Guest91034, in the logout menu there is the system config option as well
[01:57] <apwbdjp> Guest91034, I guess you have to type the name of the precise application.. what are you looking for?
[01:58] <KM0201> Guest91034: do you have pulse audio installed?
[01:58] <Guest91034> Well I read on the Ubuntu forums of a way to try to get the sound working was to disable pulseaudio under the Systems Monitor
[01:58] <lapion> Guest91034, try the menu on the top right ...
[01:58] <KM0201> Guest91034: i would make disabling pulse audio a last resort
[01:59] <Albega> Please don't forget to support KDE, It needs our help.  |----> http://blogs.kde.org/node/4491 and GOOD NIGHT!
[01:59]  * KM0201 burns Kubuntu CD's for fun
[01:59] <urlin2u> !sound have you looked here Guest91034
[01:59] <Guest91034> looked where?
[02:00] <urlin2u> !sound
[02:00] <KM0201> Guest91034: step 1. verify pulse audio installed... is it installed?
[02:00] <Guest91034> How can I tell if pulse audio is installed?
[02:00] <KM0201> Guest91034: opena terminal and   sudo apt-get install pulseaudio
[02:00] <KM0201> Guest91034: if its not installed, it will install
[02:01] <Guest91034> it says: pulseaudio is already the newest version.
[02:01] <KM0201> Guest91034: ok   now   sudo apt-get install pavucontrol
[02:01] <Guest91034> okay
[02:01] <L1nuxRules> you installed nything recently that might have broken dependencies?
[02:01] <KM0201> Guest91034: is that installing?
[02:01] <Guest91034> It is installed
[02:02] <urlin2u> Guest91034, have you looked at the links I triggered the bot to give?
[02:02] <KM0201> Guest91034: ok, now... go to the dashboard and search for "Pulse Audio"   and you should find "pulse audio volume control"
[02:02] <IrcyIrc> Random testing
[02:03] <Guest91034> Okay
[02:03] <KM0201> now... on your output devices tab... what does it say there?
[02:03] <KM0201> Guest91034: just to be clear, you're not doing something stupid, like using a USB headset/speakers.
[02:04] <L1nuxRules> :)
[02:04] <windows> why synaptic can't work with unity?
[02:04] <IrcyIrc> Hello
[02:04] <KM0201> windows: it can't?
[02:04] <L1nuxRules> windows , if you dont know why use LTS or learn Linux
[02:04] <KM0201> windows: it's just not installed by default anymore, you should be able to install it from software center.
[02:05] <urlin2u> windows, can you share what you actually mean it is not installed in oneiric.
[02:05] <Guest91034> My output devices says:
[02:05] <Guest91034> HD48x0 audio Digital Stereo (HDMI)
[02:05] <Guest91034> Port: HDMI
[02:05] <Guest91034> Front Left: 100% (0.00 dB)
[02:05] <Guest91034> Front Right: 100% (0.00 dB)
[02:06] <Guest91034> No, it is not a USB headset or speakers, the speakers are plugged in via the round jack in the back, but they are USB powered
[02:06] <korokos> hey guys
[02:06] <KM0201> Guest91034: if you play an audio file...  does the bottom "bounce".... as if the audio is playing on yoru system (just not coming through on your headphones)
[02:06] <Guest91034> KM0201, yes the slider bar goes up and down
[02:07] <KM0201> Guest91034: not the slider
[02:07] <KM0201> the slider adjusts the volume
[02:07] <KM0201> if a audi file is playing, underneath it, you'll ese a bar "bouncing" with the rhythm of the file
[02:07] <Guest91034> Yes, the bar is bouncing
[02:07] <KM0201> Guest91034: ok
[02:07] <KM0201> so your sound is working
[02:07] <Guest91034> But I don't hear anything
[02:07] <KM0201> Guest91034: try this.. go to the "configuration" tab
[02:07] <KM0201> Guest91034: well no kidding.
[02:08] <urlin2u> Guest91034, is it a desktop or laptop, in other words can you confirm if itis a laptop that it is not the speakers?
[02:08] <Guest91034> it is a desktop
[02:08] <Guest91034> it is not the speakers
[02:08] <Guest91034> I tried the speakers on my laptop they work
[02:08] <KM0201> Guest91034: on the configuration tab, what is your setting there?\
[02:08] <Guest91034> Configuration tab says:
[02:08] <Guest91034> HD48x0 audio
[02:08] <Guest91034> Profile: Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output
[02:08] <Guest91034> Internal Audio
[02:08] <Guest91034> Profile: Analog Stereo Duplex
[02:09] <KM0201> ok... try changing some options on "Internal Audio" (make sure you record where they are at now..)
[02:09] <KM0201> and play a long audio file, in case sound starts working (like a movie or something)
[02:09] <Guest91034> What should the setting be?
[02:09] <KM0201> Guest91034: mine is set to analog stereo duplex, and it works fine.
[02:09] <Guest91034> Oh hey it works now, I turned off the top profile, the HD48x0 audio
[02:09] <KM0201> :)
[02:10] <Guest91034> Thank you for your help
[02:10] <KM0201> np
[02:10] <L1nuxRules> thats what service restarts are for :)
[02:10] <Guest91034> But how did it get set to HD48x0 audio?
[02:10] <KM0201> Guest91034: now that i don't know.
[02:10] <KM0201> L1nuxRules: are you still rambling in yoru condescending tone?
[02:10] <Guest91034> huh
[02:10] <Guest91034> okay, thank you for your help
[02:11] <L1nuxRules> km > what ?
[02:11] <KM0201> Guest91034: you can try doing some googling, see if anything turns up.
[02:11] <L1nuxRules> km &> /dev/null
[02:11] <urlin2u> L1nuxRules, this is support not chat help or shut up.
 thats what service restarts are for :)   == is that really necessary? maybe you should install slackware
[02:11] <L1nuxRules> urlin ok
[02:12] <L1nuxRules> km thats 2 sentances put in to m1

[02:13] <KM0201> L1nuxRules: after the [02:14] <KM0201> again, pay attention to what you're saying, it will help
[02:14] <urlin2u> KM0201, I wouldn't bother this user is just trolling, sooner or later to leave or be kicked.
[02:14] <L1nuxRules> I havent used any [02:14] <KM0201> L1nuxRules: yeah, i'm thinkiung i'm gonna have to exercise the ignore feature (fortunatley, i have to levae in about 10min, so i can tolerate his drivel)
[02:15] <L1nuxRules> oh well good night gui kid
[02:15]  * KM0201 chuckles... uses server editions.
[02:15] <L1nuxRules> and ?
[02:15] <KM0201> and.. i don't need a GUI.
[02:15] <qin> L1nuxRules: xchat is gui too
[02:15] <KM0201> i come here to help noobs (and not be condescending)
[02:15] <L1nuxRules> your still a noob :)
[02:15] <KM0201> qin: of course it is.
[02:15] <KM0201> i like xchat.
[02:16] <qin> KM0201: Apparently L1nuxRules too.
[02:16] <KM0201> L1nuxRules: ok.. isn't it bedtime yet?
[02:16] <theborger> someone lend a hand on getting audio output through HDMI?
[02:16] <L1nuxRules> yeah of course because you know the diff cli gui
[02:17] <KM0201> L1nuxRules: lol, ok sunshine... i think mommy is calling, she has your milk and cookies ready... i recommend "Curious George gets a clue" for your nighttime story.

[02:17] <teratoma> i think new ubuntu kernel mucked up my wireless again
[02:17] <theborger> nvidia shows up under sound preferences, and i have selected it, but no sound is coming out still
[02:17] <KM0201> teratoma: whats your wireless device

[02:20] <L1nuxRules> Im not here to cuse harm
[02:20] <KM0201> teratoma: hmm, surprised that one is having issues.. they usually "just work"... thats a fairly old device
[02:20] <teratoma> me too!  i just went back to preivous kernel... everything is great.
[02:21] <Taev> is there a way to preassign specific memory limitations on an application, say telling application X may not use more than Y amount of memory.
[02:21] <theborger> Anyone? please?
[02:22] <Taev> what was your question theborger?
[02:22] <theborger> someone lend a hand on getting audio output through HDMI?
[02:22] <theborger> hdmi:CARD=NVidia HDA NVidia, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output
[02:22] <theborger> nvidia shows up under sound preferences, and i have selected it, but no sound is coming out still
[02:22] <urlin2u> theborger, you will have to have some patience
[02:24] <theborger> i am using 10.04. i updated alsa, have the Nvidia drivers installed
[02:24] <Friar> how can I make a startup disk with a thumb drive?
[02:25] <mod> Evening all
[02:25] <mod> how do you change the window-raise behavior when using Gnome Classic on 11.10?
[02:25] <mod> i'd like to stop windows from raising on mouse over
[02:25] <theborger> running alsamixer, HDA intel card is still listed
[02:25] <jedix> Friar: unetbootin
[02:25] <urlin2u> Friar, what is the OS you want to do this in?
[02:25] <mod> I see the window-focus switch for mouserouver, but not raise
[02:26] <Friar> urlin2u, I am in ubuntu 11.10.
[02:26] <urlin2u> Friar, use the startup disc creator
[02:26] <jedix> ?
[02:26]  * jedix checks his mic
[02:27] <ubuntu> how to use the persistence memory in the usb start up disk
[02:27] <nadiyama> Hi, is there any GUI for services in 11.10?
[02:27] <urlin2u> ubuntu, you asking how?
[02:27] <xangua> !usb | ubuntu
[02:28] <mod> persistance? if the stick is writable, it is persistent
[02:29] <urlin2u> Friar, the one I suggest only works for ubuntu check the bots message, if it is a windows ISO ten it is all different.
[02:29] <mod> works just lke a hard drive, same configuration as when you last shutdown
[02:29] <urlin2u> then*
[02:29] <ubuntu> It cannot mount
[02:29] <nadiyama> Hi, is there any GUI for start/stop/disable/enable services in 11.10?
[02:30] <Yagwit> I d/l'd the uninstall UB OS through terminal. When I click the link it tells "Please use this software in a live session". What does that mean?
[02:30] <urlin2u> mod, not necessarily true with ISO loads.
[02:31] <bonhoffer> i have a problem -- apps are not visible when started
[02:31] <Friar> urlin2u, sorry, I should have specified. I'm trying to make a linux mint startup stick.
[02:31] <bonhoffer> in particular is an app called rubymine
[02:32] <urlin2u> Friar, unetbootin is what will work then, did you see the bots message?
[02:33] <ubuntu> it always says no more memory and even it shows but cannot mount the persistence part of it
[02:33] <sasori> are the tty1-6 running on background ?
[02:33] <sasori> if so, how to shut them down ?
[02:34] <PsyCl0ne> good evening all, I recently just installed Lubuntu onto an older computer but all of a sudden without any known changes it now has a black box on the top right of my monitor where the mouse or any screens disappear under
[02:34] <apwbdjp> sasori, why shut them down?
[02:34] <urlin2u> ubuntu, the persisitance will fill up and can't be cleaned, are you actually talking to some one?
[02:34] <Gskellig> does anybody know how to get xbox360 controller working on ubuntu?
[02:34] <bonhoffer> really, no gui based way to install a luncher?
[02:35] <urlin2u> bonhoffer, on the desktop?
[02:35] <sasori> apwbdjp: i just want to, am just wondering if those eat alot of memory?
[02:35] <KillaByte> Does anyone use slackware?Is it as great as they make it seem?
[02:35] <bonhoffer> urlin2u, it looks like i have to edit the .desktop file
[02:35] <KillaByte> .join ##linux
[02:35] <bonhoffer> this is fine for me, but not for my mom
[02:35] <bonhoffer> i thought ubuntu 11.10 was going to be public accessible
[02:35] <apwbdjp> sasori, if you're not logged in them, I think they're just instances of "login", which isn't much consuming in memory
[02:36] <urlin2u> bonhoffer, if you mean a launcher on the desktop I saw this link a couple of days ago. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-desktop-launchers-in-ubuntu-11-10oneiric.html
[02:36] <apwbdjp> sasori, if you're logged, it would be an instance of bash, which is pretty light too.
[02:36] <sasori> apwbdjp: how to log out in any of them if there's one running ?
[02:36] <apwbdjp> sasori, ctrl+d
[02:37] <bonhoffer> urlin2u, that is nice -- but still, why make it so hard -- right click on the launcher and "add new"
[02:37] <sasori> ok, if let's say, am logged in tty1 ...then i got back at gnome view..if i restarted my machine..am i still logged in to tty1 ?
[02:37] <urlin2u> bonhoffer, not sure why that was removed, I have my own ways of having one.
[02:38] <apwbdjp> sasori, no, during the shutdown sequence everyone is logged out
[02:38] <bonhoffer> anyway -- that is a nit, the big problem is i'm starting an app and it comes up in launcher, but i can't see it
[02:38] <bonhoffer> it has a status
[02:38] <sasori> kewl! :D ..thanks
[02:38] <bonhoffer> oh -- found it -- it is on a phantom desktop "unknown" that i can't remove
[02:38] <urlin2u> bonhoffer, you might try logging off then on I have seen the desktop act weird.
[02:39] <bonhoffer> tried that -- this is a persistent issue
[02:39] <apwbdjp> sasori, anytime ^^
[02:39] <urlin2u> bonhoffer, you can remove it probably with a gksu nautilus just make sure that is what you want to do.
[02:40] <apwbdjp> Leaving! Good night everyone!
[02:40] <Yagwit> I d/l'd the uninstall UB OS through terminal. When I click the link it tells "Please use this software in a live session". What does that mean? What are the uninstaller steps?
[02:40] <mod> wow there's so many things that the THREE gnome and compwiz utilities I have cannot confiure
[02:40] <PsyCl0ne> gnight apw
[02:41] <urlin2u> Yagwit, could you explain that in more detail.
[02:42] <jasef> Hey - anyone happen to know why Tomboy is trying to use a proxy when my system default is set to no proxy
[02:42] <jasef> ?
[02:42] <urlin2u> Yagwit, no abbreviations would help
[02:43] <Hjax> How can I recover my windows 7 installation from Ubuntu?
[02:43] <mod> depends on what's wrong with it
[02:43] <Hjax> mod: mbr is gone, NTFS is corrupted
[02:44] <soreau> Hjax: Are you just not able to load it at boot time or what?
[02:44] <urlin2u> Hjax, can you give more info, is the windows not bootable or broken?
[02:44] <Hjax> Broken
[02:44] <urlin2u> Hjax, if a dual boot you can open the windows partition from home if it is not a wubi.
[02:44] <Yagwit> urlin2u: sorry
[02:45] <Hjax> Basically I tried to remove my Ubuntu dual boot, and needed to put back windows boot loader, tried to do it from Ubuntu and failed, and also corrupted NTFS
[02:45] <Yagwit> urlin2u: I have only ubuntu 10.10... I want to uninstall it
[02:45] <Hjax> urlin2u: file system is corrupted, not appearing in home
[02:45] <bonhoffer> for example, i launch xsensors, but i can't see it
[02:45] <urlin2u> Hjax, you have a windows recovery or install disc the windows bootloader could be put in the mbr.
[02:45] <bonhoffer> it is in the launcher
[02:46] <jasef> Hjax, urlin2u if it's wubi, you can still open the filesystem, it's usually mounted in /host if I remember correctly
[02:46] <urlin2u> jasef, I know
[02:46] <jasef> urlin2u, Oh, okay, sorry.
[02:46] <Hjax> urlin2u: OS installed OEM, no recovery on disks, can only reinstall
[02:46] <Hjax> I just want my data back before I reinstall
[02:47] <mod> Hjax, you could use ubuntu to write a new mbr, but if NTFS is corrupted there's not much you can do
[02:47] <urlin2u> Yagwit, you want to install something else just install over it.
[02:47] <mod> you can try to mount it and pull off accessible files
[02:47] <Hjax> mod: trying to use Ubuntu to do that is what I believe corrupted my mbr
[02:47] <Hjax> File system*
[02:47] <urlin2u> Hjax, you can open the windopws with a booted ubuntu cd
[02:48] <mod> hjax, the two OS's are on the same computer?
[02:48] <Hjax> Mod: yes
[02:48] <mod> Hjax, as root, list the partition table: fdisk -l /dev/sda
[02:48] <urlin2u> Hjax, you also may be able to use3 lilo a linux bootmanager in the mbr to boot the windows as well.
[02:48] <mod> see which one is your windows partition
[02:48] <bonhoffer> anyone know why xsensors is totally empty
[02:48] <mod> often its the first one
[02:49] <Yagwit> urlin2u: Sorry so slow...I need to uninstall Ubuntu and re-install windows for my hub..he wants linux gone now
[02:49] <Hjax> Test
[02:49] <Yagwit> I'm still going to use and learn it on my own pc
[02:49] <Hjax> It's /dev/sda2
[02:49] <urlin2u> Yagwit, you can delete linux from the windows cd or boot a ubuntu cd and do it from gparted.
[02:49] <mod> hjax, you can mount it manually   mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
[02:49] <Hjax> LILO has been tried, also failed
[02:49] <mod> you might have to specify the filesyste,    mount -t nfts /dev/sda2 /mnt
[02:50] <Yagwit> urlin2u: What do I choose from the ubuntu to use gparted
[02:51] <Hjax> mod: NTFS signature is missing
[02:51] <urlin2u> Yagwit, the live cd has gparted intalled, turn off the swap if there is one and delete all partitions, which may include a extended.
[02:51] <Yagwit> urlin2u: my options are Try Ubuntu and Install Ubuntu (from cd)
[02:51] <LinuxMobile> Awe lol
[02:51] <urlin2u> Yagwit, try ubuntu I see your question now. :D
[02:52] <kang_> hello

[03:02] <atcho> I have an ssh connection to a linux machine which is hibernated after some non-activity time.
[03:02] <atcho> I want to make it resume, how do I do that?
[03:02] <Yagwit> urlin2u: i'm looking....
[03:04] <taoli> atcho i think you have to do wol
[03:04] <urlin2u> jc_2, truetype fonts are installed by the restricted extras I believe
[03:05] <jc_2> but i need other like, scriptin
[03:05] <truepurple>  system monitor speaks of available space, and free space, and these are different numbers, what is the difference?
[03:05] <atcho> taoli: Li Tao? hahaa. In fact, I am trying to us cron to resume the standby system
[03:06] <pfifo> truepurple, by default ext2 reserves 5% disk space for root
[03:06] <urlin2u> jc_2, okay so where do we go from here.
[03:06] <hjax> mod: im back
[03:06] <truepurple> pfifo, so free space is the total unused space minus that 5%?
[03:07] <jasef> Anyone able to tell me how to change the proxy that Mono (or Tomboy) is using? System proxy is off, but it's still trying to connect
[03:07] <pfifo> truepurple, i would have to see the numbers to know for sure
[03:07] <taoli> atcho: yeah Li, Tao : ) but i like towlie better, not sure how to do that with cron sorry
[03:08] <truepurple> pfifo, but the meanings of the terms wouldn't change
[03:08] <atcho> thanks taoli
[03:08] <Hjax> mod: you still here?
[03:08] <atcho> anyone have a Kindle ?
[03:09] <taoli> hey i think you can use this, http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/wake-cron.html
[03:09] <pfifo> truepurple, Im guessing that available space takes into account reserved space and any disk quotas you have, and free space represents all space that isnt in use
[03:09] <taoli> its a builtin kernel utility
[03:09] <atcho> taoli sth about acpi maybe help, but i know little about it
[03:09] <urlin2u> jc_2, I don't do pming, and this is an area I am not really the best to ask,  was basically trying to answer your basic questiob=ns.
[03:10] <jc_2> ok thank you man
[03:10] <mod> hey hjax
[03:10] <Yagwit> Try Ubuntu doesn't allow any changes though, right?
[03:10] <truepurple> pfifo, can you help me figure out how to install a mplayer front end like gmplayer? It seems it is not as easy as one might think
[03:11] <jc_2> but what could happen  if i paste them inside the folder?
[03:11] <mod> Yagwit you can certainly use it to change thingsi fyou try :)
[03:11] <pfifo> truepurple, sorry, i always us the cli. VLC works well if you need a gui
[03:12] <urlin2u> Yagwit, correct you are runing a iso, yu have to do changes to save them or delete the hd.
[03:12] <Yagwit> mod: I want to uninstall ubuntu 10.10 ... I was told to used both OS uninstaller and Gparted
[03:12] <hjax> mod: ok so what script do i have to run?
[03:12] <jc_2> can I just download them and make click to install them?
[03:12] <Yagwit> urlin2u: I found gparted
[03:13] <truepurple> pfifo, cli? VLC hasnt been working well for me
[03:13] <mod> hjax, i dont think ubuntu can save you, it sounds like an internal nfts issue
[03:13] <pfifo> truepurple, i mean i use mplayer from the terminal
[03:13] <mod> it might have some ntfs tools, i dont know
[03:13] <urlin2u> Yagwit, never heard of the OS unistaller, just take a screen shot of gparted screen shot is in the menu put it in a imagebin and post the http and I will tell you what is going on.
[03:14] <urlin2u> !imagebin | Yagwit
[03:14] <mod> I dont use windows for anything important... if it goes bad, i just reinstall an image
[03:14] <hjax> hmmm ok, theres nothing on there that i cant live without, but id like my stuff back
[03:14] <urlin2u> hjax, can yo run the bootscript?
[03:15] <hjax> urlin2u: link?
[03:15] <urlin2u> hjax, or just pull stuff out with the live ubuntu cd
[03:15] <hjax> urlin2u: i cant, it is spitting out errors, i cant even mount it
[03:16] <MTecknology> bug 819688
[03:16] <mod> hjax i like to use a windows ext2 mounter and use ext2 or 3 with inode sizes set to 128 bytes
[03:16] <atcho> taoli: it's very good
[03:16] <urlin2u> hjax,  you might run the bootscript it will show the whole setup with important, details so we can see what is missing, put the results.txt in a pastebin.  http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[03:16] <mod> then i can share my /home/myuser directory as Window's "My Documents"
[03:16] <mod> that way my personal stuff is on an ext filesystem, not fragile ntfs
[03:18] <urlin2u> hjax, you might see if you can get a windows disc and run a chkdsk at the least to get the ntfs cleaned up so it can be read from a live cd, the bootscript may show what your mising and this maybe fixed witha windows disc as well.
[03:18] <mod> i'm sorry i can no longer resist. i've tried to be good
[03:18] <mod> but Unity just plain sucks
[03:19] <semitones> Hello, how can I eject my USB when there seems to be some program accessing files on it? How can I tell all programs to stop doing that
[03:19] <urlin2u> hjax, you need the right tools to fix it.
[03:19] <hjax> urlin2u: i dont have a windows disk
[03:19] <hjax> urlin2u: boot info results http://pastebin.com/jnT6fzqq
[03:19] <mod> and Gnome 3 Classic is like Gnome after castration and emasculation
[03:19] <urlin2u> hjax, sure but maybe a friend of your does.
[03:19] <hjax> my friends all use xp
[03:19] <bazhang> mod thats enough
[03:19] <hjax> urlin2u: and it failed to get any info of dev sda2
[03:20] <mod> heh at least i got it out before the bell ;)
[03:20] <tomreyn> hi, is there a known bug in 11.10 which causes ubuntu not to check for available (security or other) updates within the configured interval?
[03:21] <mod> 11.10 isn't being supported anymore, that's why
[03:21] <mod> juuuust kidding ;)
[03:21] <mod> actually, i've noticed that the update manage isn't acosting me every few hours either
[03:22] <mod> which would be find if the kinks of various things (like Sandybridge problems) had already been ironed out
[03:22] <mod> s/find/fine/
[03:22] <HaDAk> join #xbmc
[03:22] <HaDAk> ack.
[03:23] <mod> isn't that one of this risque channels?  eewww
[03:23] <mod> s/this/those/
[03:23] <tomreyn> sandybridge is somewhat new. and if you have toruble with it it's a kernel issue. mine is about the python APT infrastructure, quite different.
[03:23] <mod> which are both distro issues
[03:24] <hjax> can i run chkdsk from ubuntu?
[03:24] <tomreyn> if the distribution is affected by it, yes
[03:24] <mod> tomreyn, in both cases, yes
[03:24] <tomreyn> (i was responding to mod)
[03:24] <mod> jhax, there are some windows fs tools
[03:25] <mod> hjax, do you have a boot disk for your windows install? *cough*
[03:25] <urlin2u> hjax, until you can clean up the sda2 so it shows Linux is of no help here, you need a wins=dows disc to run a chkdsk and repair to boot if it will or be accessed with a linux disc.
[03:26] <mod> ^^^ what he said
[03:26] <HaDAk> can somebody help to explain why ONLY dolby digital 5.1 sound plays for me? ubuntu 11.10, nvidia ion with latest binary driver, over hdmi
[03:26] <tomreyn> hjax: you want fsck.something where 'something is either vfat or ntfs, in the latter case you don't want to do it from linux but from the windows recovery CD
[03:26] <hjax> i have a reinstall disk set, no recovery option, stupid hp
[03:27] <mod> hjax, look up scroungentfs
[03:27] <mod> p   scrounge-ntfs                                        - Data recovery program for NTFS filesystems
[03:27] <hjax> i couldnt figure out how to use it
[03:27] <tomreyn> hjax: reinstall disk set may work, too, but that's off-topic here, try #windows
[03:27] <milkshake> #join  #perl
[03:27] <mod> well your attempt puts you one step ahead of me :)
[03:28] <hjax> mod: ok its installed what now?
[03:28] <milkshake> hi
[03:28] <urlin2u> hjax, those recovery discs are supposed to get you to a recovery console if following MS orders I' getting a thumb drive from acer as theres wouldn't and the got sued for this, you might contact HP, to see if it is possible to run a chkdsk with the discs you have, and back up next time and make a recovery disc.
[03:28] <mod> like i said, you're one step ahead of me.  i've never used it
[03:28] <mod> hjax, also there are man windows boot images out there
[03:28] <hjax> urlin2: they charge extra for a real windows disk set,
[03:28] <mod> free ones...
[03:29] <milkshake> really need help on how to transfer files between phones on a mobile network
[03:29] <hjax> where?
[03:29] <sasori> hi , any other properties that can be set on vimrc aside from these ? http://www.pastie.org/2850542
[03:29] <hjax> ok i give up, ill take the loss and reinstall tomorrow morning
[03:29] <mod> ubcd i think 'ultimate boot disk' or something... YOU *could* google "windows boot disk" heh
[03:30] <jrib> sasori: of course...
[03:30] <urlin2u> hjax, you can make a recovery disc for free once and a backup once free, try the ##windows channel as well.
[03:30] <hjax> hmmm i could use ubcd
[03:30] <sasori> need help..can you point me to it? T_T
[03:30] <mod>  #help
[03:30] <jrib> sasori: :help   in vim
[03:30] <kamilnadeem> Hi Everyone
[03:31] <mod> where of where has my gnome config gone
[03:31] <mod> and my typing skills
[03:31] <tomreyn> milkshake: you probably want dome kind of file transfer daemon, such as an FTPd, so that one canaccess the others' files. that's assuming one can access the other in terms of network topology.
[03:31] <kamilnadeem> guys, I have created a new Blog about Linux and FOSS: http://mknadeem.blogspot.com/ .
[03:31] <kamilnadeem> Please check it and share if you find it interesting or informative.
[03:31] <rypervenche> sasori: Check /etc/vim/vimrc
[03:31] <jrib> kamilnadeem: please don't do that again, this channel is for support
[03:31] <kamilnadeem> Also The First post introduces non FOSS people to our very own Ubuntu .
[03:31] <bazhang> kamilnadeem, wrong place for that
[03:31] <urlin2u> !spam | kamilnadeem
[03:32] <kamilnadeem> Sorry , I should go to the discussion channel;
[03:32] <rypervenche> sasori: Or you can use the list here, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vimrc
[03:32] <kamilnadeem> my bad
[03:32] <kamilnadeem> please accept my apology
[03:32] <Yagwit> the pc still has grub..is that going to be a problem when I install windows back on it?
[03:32] <atcho> hi anyone using a Kindle e-ink book?
[03:32] <milkshake> tomreyn: ok. thanks but i want something programmable
[03:32] <rypervenche> sasori: I personally do "cp /etc/vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc" then edit it to my liking.
[03:33] <tomreyn> milkshake: how is ftp not scriptable (I assume that's what you mean)?
[03:34] <milkshake> tomreyn: i am writing a script to send a file to another phone . is it possible to get the ip address of the receiving and send the file to the phone?
[03:34] <mod> hallelujah: /apps/metacity/general
[03:34] <sasori> thanks for the list rypervenche  :D
[03:34] <mod> atcho, just ask your question
[03:34] <milkshake> tomreyn: *receiving phone
[03:34] <tomreyn> milkshake: i couldn't tell, because i don't know the network setup you have there.
[03:36] <milkshake> tomreyn: how about  we assume generic/abstract network. how do you think such a thing should work?
[03:36] <mod> hah
[03:36] <atcho> mod, i am trying to use cron on kindle( linux system buildin) but failed. the problem is cron cannot run program when in standby status, so i want to wake up(also by cron) then do sth else
[03:36] <tomreyn> milkshake: both systems run ubuntu?
[03:36] <milkshake> tomreyn: i am actually going to programme in Java or any language that can gracefully deploy over a wireless network
[03:37] <milkshake> tomreyn: no
[03:37] <bazhang> atcho, how does that relate to ubuntu
[03:37] <NewGuy> I have a question ?
[03:37] <tomreyn> milkshake: which one does?
[03:37] <mod> atcho, huh i'd imagine cron doesn't wake during slepp...
[03:37] <atcho> bazhang: oh may a little. also based on linux
[03:37] <milkshake> tomreyn: the phones could be blackberry, android, windows mobile etc...
[03:38] <tomreyn> milkshake: you are wasting my time asking this on #ubuntu
[03:38] <bazhang> atcho, try a kindle channel or #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:38] <bazhang> !alis | atcho
[03:38] <NewGuy> how do you do pan around with a backdrop picture with the cd cube cant figure it out?
[03:38] <NewGuy> ah
[03:38] <atcho> mod really? in standby status, cron do nothin at all?
[03:39] <milkshake> tomreyn: ooh ok. lol. just needed a way to get this thing working.
[03:39] <bazhang> atcho, please stop asking here, it's offtopic
[03:39] <NewGuy> again how do you do the pan around  the backdrop picture with the 3D cube?
[03:39] <atcho> bazhang: sorry. I donot agree with you
[03:39] <OerHeks> NewGuy, install CCSM to enable background pictures
[03:39] <dr_willis> milkshake: i just use ssh and dyndns to get stuff to and frim my phone to ubuntu
[03:40] <OerHeks> !ccsm
[03:40] <milkshake> tomreyn: thanks btw. will look for help elsewhere
[03:40] <tomreyn> milkshake: this is not #helpwithanythingwhichhaseletroniccircuits
[03:40] <tomreyn> ok
[03:40] <bazhang> atcho, kindle has nothing to do with ubuntu. lets move on
[03:40] <milkshake> @tomreyn: ook
[03:40] <tomreyn> good luck then
[03:41] <NewGuy> typte latter in the search of compiz?
[03:41] <milkshake> tomreyn:  know where i can read on how to get ssh and dydns working?
[03:41] <atcho> mr zhang, kindle also have root shell, and i was  familiar with it when i using ubuntu
[03:41] <dr_willis> Toms of guides on ssh out there
[03:42] <tomreyn> milkshake: did you try a search engine, yet?
[03:42] <dr_willis> Dyndns homepage  for that
[03:42] <milkshake> tomreyn: ofcourse.. lol
[03:42] <atcho> bazhang: and also I am using ssh to connect to kindle
[03:43] <tomreyn> milkshake: "man ssh" for the ssh client manual, and for dyndns read the instructions the dyndns provider offers.
[03:43] <atcho> bazhang: oh...
[03:44] <atcho> bazhang: i just want some help
[03:44] <bazhang> atcho, this is the wrong place for it. please stop asking
[03:44] <dr_willis> There's always #linux

[03:44] <w30> NewGuy, you wnat ccsm-desktop cube-appearance-skydome-animate skydome
[03:45] <NewGuy> in terminal
[03:45] <milkshake> tomreyn: thanks. Already on it.
[03:46] <atcho> bazhang: okay, then I ask question on how to use cron to wake up ubuntu  at 6:00 every moring if ubuntu is in standy status
[03:46] <NewGuy> ccsm-desktop cube-appearance-skydone-animate skydome i type that in teminal?
[03:46] <Roter1337> I used to love ubuntu, but I realise that oneric ocelot is their worst release yet
[03:47] <bazhang> Roter1337, thats not a support issue
[03:47] <w30> NewGuy, no in GUI; open ccsm (compiz config settings manager) then navigate to desktop cube then skydome then animate skydome
[03:47] <qubits> how do I mount mount my fakeraid raid0 volume without clicking it in kde under places?
[03:47] <mod> atcho: rtcwake
[03:47] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto atcho
[03:47] <edbian> Roter1337: I used to love ubuntu but <insert x> is the worst release yet
[03:47] <urlin2u> NewGuy, that is all in the compiz gui desktopcube is a plugin.
[03:48] <fellayaboy> could someone help me out.. ive used gparted to try to add the freespace to my ext4 ubuntu partiion..i had 2 partitions that were unallocated freespace and it started from cylinder 0.. all the way on the left.. that section that started from their was never recognized when i tried to resize my ubuntu partion
[03:48] <atcho> bazhang: sorry you cannot help me. i can use cron itself
[03:48] <atcho> mod, yes it helps
[03:48] <qubits> whats compiz fusion
[03:48] <fellayaboy> however i did get the other chunk of partition to get added to my ubuntu partition..it was the one adjacent to my ubuntus partion
[03:48] <qubits> aside from compiz
[03:49] <fellayaboy> qubits. its a bunch of nice graphic features
[03:49] <urlin2u> fellayaboy, can you post a image of gparted?
[03:49] <fellayaboy> urlin2u im not sure how to do that
[03:49] <mod> qubtibs, more stuff to make your computer overheat ;)
[03:49] <r0gue> Hello, I am getting a login screen with a blue background and a different login window,any guesses?
[03:49] <w30> qubits it's a start compiz if I click on this icon application
[03:49] <longcat> my control key doesnt work on my new ubuntu installation ...
[03:50] <urlin2u> fellayaboy, take a screen shot with prtscreen or the screen shot app and put it in imagebin and post the http. http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add
[03:50] <longcat> or something. how do i reconfigure the keyboard settings?
[03:50] <fellayaboy> i think compiz fusion its compiz..the only thing was that compiz fusion was old and got integrated with another compiz thingyamagigy
[03:50] <debsan> qubits, is the fusion from compiz and beryl ?
[03:50] <longcat> the same settings from install time
[03:50] <fellayaboy> urlin2u, ok brb
[03:50] <w30> qubits, with a few choices like window manager and indirect rendering
[03:51] <qubits> shouldi get it?
[03:51] <corigo> So I setup a RAID5 array, and after reboot I don't even get to the authentification screen, instead I drop out at a command line (initramfs)
[03:51] <r0gue> Hello, I am getting a login screen with a blue background and a different login window,any guesses?
[03:51] <qubits> I'm running backtrack and I want gnome3
[03:51] <bazhang> qubits, #backtrack-linux for bt support
[03:51] <urlin2u> r0gue, you changed anything?
[03:52] <corigo> to specify 11.10, RAID array does not include boot disk
[03:52] <fellayaboy> http://imagebin.org/183732
[03:52] <fellayaboy> urlin2u, ^^
[03:52] <r0gue> it is sort of like dos mode i have to manually enter my username and i also cant see my mouse pointer
[03:54] <r0gue> it is sort of like dos mode i have to manually enter my username and i also cant see my mouse pointer urlin2u
[03:55] <tomreyn> corigo: how did you set the RAID up?
[03:55] <urlin2u> fellayaboy, you would have to move both the ntfs to the left then the extended to the left the the ubuntu to the left. YOU will do this from a live cd for the ubuntu and turn off the swap when doing it, and you may have to reload grub to the mbr if your fstab has a uuid rather then a partition address.
[03:55] <fellayaboy> ah man
[03:56] <fellayaboy> how do i even turn off a swap
[03:56] <fellayaboy> and whats a uuid
[03:56] <fellayaboy> urlin2u, this is gonna be harder than i thought
[03:56] <urlin2u> fellayaboy, you can put a partition in that space though if a ntfs windows and ubuntu will see it.
[03:57] <edbian> fellayaboy: uuid is just a unique ID for a partition
[03:57] <fellayaboy> oh ok
[03:57] <fellayaboy> how about turning off a swap
[03:57] <fellayaboy> whats that
[03:57] <urlin2u> fellayaboy, not that hard just time consuming really.
[03:57] <edbian> fellayaboy: swap is a section of the hdd used when there is no more room in ram.  run 'swapoff' to turn it off (it will be back on when you reboot)
[03:58] <urlin2u> fellayaboy, swap is the sda6 partition you just right click it then swap off.
[03:58] <fellayaboy> man.  could i get away with this using windows 7 parition editor...it works extremely fast..maybe i could hack it ...make it move the freespace to the right
[03:58] <r0gue> urlin2u i am basically getting blue login background but no mouse
[03:58] <edbian> fellayaboy: or use gparted like urlin2u suggested
[03:58] <fellayaboy> ooh ok ok
[03:58] <corigo> using mdadm
[03:58] <fellayaboy> but wait..
[03:58] <w30> qubits, get it and try it you can always remove it
[03:58] <urlin2u> r0gue, not sure really, sounds like you tried to change a background.
[03:59] <r0gue> yes i changed the background
[03:59] <Brunchi> Hi there! I want to build micro-emacs from source (got the git-repo from linus) and I get the error-message: "cannot find -lcurses" when 'make'ing the source. I got ncurses installed...
[03:59] <fellayaboy> i was thinking to myself maybe i have to move the freespace to the right...how am i suppose to move the ntfs to the side.. i was looking for a move command, or a way to grab it with the mouse
[03:59] <urlin2u> r0gue, ah the plot thickens, can you just change it back?
[03:59] <fellayaboy> ..and then move it
[04:00] <r0gue> i need to try
[04:00] <urlin2u> fellayaboy, in gparted you can move the two ntfs as they are to the left
[04:01] <fellayaboy> (sigh) alright ...thank you very much urlin2u
[04:01] <fellayaboy> why is it that the windows 7 parition editor seems to work like magic..i mean bam boom blam...u can shrink, extend and delete in the blink of an eye
[04:02] <fellayaboy> all without having to reboot into a medium
[04:02] <urlin2u> fellayaboy, no problem just right click the ntfs the resize/move and move the whole partition, this all takes a little time is all set asside about q hour and a half probably more or less.
[04:02] <fellayaboy> geezz
[04:02] <NewGuy> i did it
[04:02] <NewGuy> and i got gears
[04:03] <fellayaboy> oh ok urlin2u  im doing something like that right now
[04:03] <atcho> mod, i am tesing cron, added a line like "* * * * * date > ~/date-test-cron", then i put the kindle to sleep
[04:03] <urlin2u> fellayaboy, it happens good luck. :D
[04:03] <fellayaboy> im moving the ntfs SYSTEM RESERVED to the left in ubuntus gparted
[04:03] <corigo> tomreyn what specifics can I give you to better clarify? 3 devices RAID5, I do see that it states Active devices 2, Working devices 3, and "spare rebuilding"
[04:03] <atcho> mod, i will tell you the result.
[04:03] <urlin2u> fellayaboy, yeah move the sda1 first then the sda2
[04:03] <jeffubuntulinux> Is Gnome 3 any Faster then Unity? Ive heard mixed answers.
[04:04] <fellayaboy> so once im booted into ntfs turn off the swap from gparted by right clicking it u said
[04:04] <fellayaboy> once im booted into gparted i meant ot say
[04:04] <corigo> jeffubuntulinux: if you want a nice desktop try KDE
[04:05] <jeffubuntulinux> corigo, is KDE any faster now? last time I tried KDE 4 it was like eh seemed sluggish but that was like a year ago
[04:05] <cloudgeek> HIIII
[04:05] <fellayaboy> could i reload/reinstall grub using gparted or do i need the ubuntu live cd
[04:05] <urlin2u> fellayaboy, you can only turn off the swap from ubuntu you can move those from gparted in the installed ubuntu, if you have ubuntu installed. To resize the extended partition containing the ubuntu you will neeed a live ubuntu cd, or a gparted on a disc
[04:06] <urlin2u> fellayaboy, you don't use gparted for grub, a live ubuntu cd will work, or you can edit thhe fstab before you move the ubuntu partition.
[04:06] <jeffubuntulinux> corigo, you running KDE right now?
[04:06] <corigo> yes
[04:07] <jeffubuntulinux> corigo, any problems? its kubuntu I presume
[04:07] <fellayaboy> man, what do i have to edit in the fstab
[04:07] <yeats> jeffubuntulinux: if you want speedy and lighter weight, you might want to try xubuntu or lubuntu
[04:08] <tomreyn> corigo: you could provide a lot more info: is this a hardware, or fakeraid, or a software raid? if a software raid, did you set it up using the ubuntu installer, or did yuou manually setup your md RAID? which ubuntu version are you on?
[04:08] <jeffubuntulinux> yeats, oh no i dont want to use either of those, im a quad core with a AT HD 4890..so my pc is fine, idk Unity something about it I dont like lol, but I was curious beyond that about KDE if it was any better speed wise then gnome3 or unity now
[04:08] <w30> yeats, have you used lxde?
[04:09] <corigo> Just built a new system with 11.10 and KDE 4.7.2 on an SSD and I don't know if it is 11.10 or 4.7.2 but there are little quirks. It is fast and beautiful, and I'm excited for the plans for version 5
[04:09] <fellayaboy> better yet ima move windows partition from windows 7 and see if i can get away with that...and then move the freespace over near ubunuts partition... if i can... all i know is that partition editor works extremely fast...brb
[04:09] <atcho> mod, the result is cron can delay!(on my kinle)
[04:09] <yeats> w30: not for long, but yes, I've used it some
[04:09] <corigo> but I am having trouble setting up my software RAID
[04:09] <yeats> jeffubuntulinux: understood
[04:09] <jeffubuntulinux> Ill give Kubuntu a try see if its any good
[04:10] <corigo> I tried OpenSuse with Gnome and is was painfully slow
[04:10] <w30> yeats, I got xubuntu at the moment but I don't like the double clicking instead of a consistant single click
[04:10] <ImTheDude> how is ment now compared to ubuntu
[04:11] <w30> yeats, I can get single click inside the file manager but not on the desktop
[04:11] <edbian> ImTheDude: It's better
[04:11] <urlin2u> fellayaboy, open fstab with gksudo gedit /etc/fstab   you will see at the beginning of the ubuntu partition this here is mine UUID=6ec94721-b128-43f2-8715-e1acbcedb302  replace just that part with  /dev/sda5
[04:12] <corigo> Hmm, so now I've got this RAID5 array running, how do I mount it at boot?
[04:12] <urlin2u> fellaso you replace the UUID and the number letter set with the /dev/sda5 make sure your doing the correct line though you can run in the terminal blkd to see the indentical uuid
[04:13] <r0gue> urlin2u i cant even change my login background
[04:13] <atcho> mod, i set '5 * * * * date>date-test-flie" in cron, i opened it at 12:07(at 12:05 it is in standby status),and  and find the file content "Sat Nov 12 12:07:14 CST 2011". I cannot solve the problem now
[04:14] <w30> yeats, I want to stay away from the applications menu that consumes my whole 24 in screen and still has to scroll
[04:14] <urlin2u> r0gue, not sure of the fix sorry.
[04:14] <corigo> Or maybe more to the point why after reboot is my RAID array no longer md0 but now md127?
[04:14] <w30> yeats, both Unity and Gnome3
[04:16] <bkerensa> I have a friend who has a audiophile 2496 and it is not producing any sound but is showing in audio settings. He is running 11.10
[04:17] <arnab> hi i just updated. i can't find the application menu anymore.
[04:17] <arnab> is this the ubuntu help channel?
[04:18] <MK`> arnab: yes.
[04:18] <urlin2u> arnab, yep what release?
[04:18] <arnab> 11.10 - i think there is something new called unity (i read about it) bar on the left
[04:18] <arnab> but i can't find the application menu anymore. has it been discontinued? (i hope it exists somewhere...)
[04:19] <urlin2u> arnab, in the left panel at the top is the dash button click it then type what app you need.
[04:19] <arnab> but i don't exactly remember what i need
[04:19] <urlin2u> arnab, you can get that dash with the windows key as well.
[04:19] <r0gue> i cannot change my login background, am getting a blue background with no mouse pointer and also i have to enter my username manually
[04:20] <arnab> it was the system application installer, i knew very well where it was in the menu but don't remember name. typing 'System' doesn't get me anything on the dashboard :(
[04:21] <McFisher> Greetings.
[04:21] <ParadigmUltra> Hi everyone
[04:21] <McFisher> I was wondering if I could ask a quick IRC question.
[04:21] <urlin2u> arnab, you want the softwrae center to install apps type that n the dash.
[04:21] <urlin2u> software*
[04:22] <urlin2u> McFisher, you can try hehe.
[04:22] <arnab> i am looking for the more detailed software installer that i could access before, which lists all the packages
[04:22] <arnab> ok this is not working. i think my best shot is to get the application  menus back. is there an option to get it back?
[04:22] <ParadigmUltra> McFisher, only one a day.  Thank you, come again.
[04:23] <Bonster> arnab: install synaptic
[04:23] <McFisher> AH! But I didn't ask a question.  Did you see a question mark, paradigmultra?
[04:23] <McFisher> wait.
[04:23] <McFisher> dang.
[04:23] <arnab> Bonster, yeah i think that's what i am looking for! forgot the name... Synaptic. thanks
[04:23] <ParadigmUltra> lol
[04:23] <arnab> i would really like to get the menus back - how can i do that?
[04:23] <urlin2u> arnab, this release does not have gnome2, it has been gone since the last release, I think it has a classic desktop I'm not sure this would be chosen at the login.
[04:23] <McFisher> Anyhow, how might I connect to irc.dothraki.org through port 6667?
[04:24] <Bonster> arnab: install fallback mode
[04:24] <urlin2u> !nounity | arnab
[04:24] <arnab> also i put terminal on the left bar, but clicking it more than once just puts the terminal window forward, instead of openning multiple terminal windows
[04:24] <ParadigmUltra> Most clients let you add a server and specify a port somewhere in the settings McFisher:
[04:25] <Bonster> arnab: middle click
[04:25] <arnab> ahh that works.
[04:25] <urlin2u> arnab, crtl-alt-t will bring up terminals
[04:25] <CarlFK> McFisher: /server irc.dothraki.org
[04:25] <McFisher> Paradigmultra Thank you! I was looking for a channel.
[04:25] <arnab> ahh didn't know that thanks urlin2u
[04:26] <arnab> frankly this new interface seems like some sort of experimental program
[04:26] <urlin2u> arnab, I didn't realize the center button either thanks Bonster
[04:26] <arnab> i will try to get back to gnome 3 then by the options that you pointed out
[04:26] <urlin2u> arnab, to new users yes, it is different.
[04:27] <pc3> hola
[04:27] <arnab> urlin2u, do you like it more once you get used to it?
[04:27] <nucc1> if i want all messages to root@localhost to be forwarded to my work email address, how would i do it?
[04:27] <urlin2u> arnab, I am used to iy=t but I have docky and the cube running.
[04:27] <arnab> for me if it is different, it comes with a time to learn - which is only justifiable if there is added benefits in the end
[04:27] <ParadigmUltra> probably /server irc.dothraki.org:6667
[04:28] <urlin2u> arnab, and synapse to bring up apps with a search gui.
[04:28] <ParadigmUltra> MrFisher, /join #[channel]
[04:28] <arnab> also the window menus seem to be detached from the windows - they take up the space of the application menu instead!
[04:28] <Guest9061> urlin2u, so your running what Gnome Classic on 11.10?
[04:28] <aafksab> im trying to use qpst with an xp vm can any one help me with setting up the com port?
[04:28] <arnab> very counterintuitive - was it done just for the sake of being different!
[04:29] <urlin2u> Guest9061, no unity and gnome 3
[04:29] <Guest9061> urlin2u, which one are you on now?
[04:29] <Bonster> install gnome-session-fallback if u want the classic
[04:29] <urlin2u> Guest9061, the cube does not run in gnome 3 and docky is not there just a stock gnome 3
[04:30] <urlin2u> Guest9061, unity, I use it the most.
[04:30] <urlin2u> Guest9061, I'm actually in natty I have oneiric upgarded to precise.
[04:31] <arnab> is kde an option for me to get back to familiar menu system? if so how can i install it?
[04:31] <aafksab> does anyone have experience with oracle  virtual box?
[04:31] <arnab> or should i go gnome 3?
[04:31] <Bonster> arnab: install kubuntu-desktop
[04:31] <urlin2u> arnab, I believe it is no problem
[04:31] <xangua> arnab: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[04:31] <aeon-ltd> aafksab: some experience, but ask the channel
[04:31] <urlin2u> aafksab, a little
[04:31] <xangua> arnab: we can not tell you what is better for you, we are not your parents ;)
[04:32] <urlin2u> xangua, lol
[04:32] <Coloman> Hello, I'm cant run any video for youbube in my ubuntu 11 on amd64.
[04:32] <aeon-ltd> Coloman: installed flash?
[04:32] <aafksab> im trying to set up a xp virtual machine to use qpst but i cant figure out how to point the com port to the usb
[04:32] <arnab> xangua, i would go with your educated guess, given that i liked the ubuntu 10 pretty much and i can use a Windows computer well
[04:33] <aeon-ltd> aafksab: wait thinking about it now they'll know more in #vbox
[04:33] <arnab> i will install kubuntu-desktop. thanks Bonster, urlin2u, xangua. what a mess this new system is.
[04:34] <Bonster> another satisfy unity user then
[04:35] <urlin2u> aafksab, are you in the vbox user like this screenshot. http://imagebin.org/183742
[04:35] <Coloman> aoen-ltd: Yes, I'm dowmloaded for Adobe site, but the screen it's black in firefox and in  chrome need upgrade
[04:35] <aafksab> thank you
[04:36] <urlin2u> aafksab, tyen the usb should show in the setings usb click the green plus sign to get it in.
[04:36] <urlin2u> aafksab, the settings in the vbox of the machine built.
[04:36] <CrOnOs2000> i cant find my integrated graphic card, i normaly use a pci express but i want the motherboard video card for a second monitor, lshw dont even show the motherboard card. any ideas?
[04:37] <urlin2u> CrOnOs2000, you try lspci | grep VGA
[04:38] <arnab> hi - i tried to install "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell", but it fails at the last 37.4kb
[04:38] <CrOnOs2000> urlin2u, only shows the pci express
[04:38] <arnab> Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0 i386 <IP_ADDRESS>-0ubuntu4
[04:38] <arnab>   404  Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[04:39] <urlin2u> CrOnOs2000, hmm that is about the most I know.
[04:39] <arnab> Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/network-manager/gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0_<IP_ADDRESS>-0ubuntu4_i386.deb  404  Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[04:39] <Bonster> arnab: change servers
[04:39] <dcherniv> CrOnOs2000, you cant do that. run both at the same time
[04:40] <mk> how do I reinstall my grub? I'm booted in from a ubuntu install cd, but I'm getting various file not found messages when I follow online instructions
[04:40] <arnab> hmpf.
[04:41] <aeon-ltd> !fixgrub | mk
[04:41] <urlin2u> arnab, not sure of the context here.
[04:41] <CrOnOs2000> urlin2u,  np, but i remember old versions of ubuntu show me the 2 video cards only 1 was used but it use to show both
[04:41] <tomreyn> arnab: this may be an easier first step: sudo apt-get clean
[04:41] <arnab> nothing, i just wish i hadn't "upgraded" to 11.10
[04:41] <arnab> ok thanks will try that tomreyn
[04:42] <mk> thanks aeon-ltd, I'll have a look at those
[04:42] <tomreyn> arnab: then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
[04:42] <arnab> ok
[04:43] <ImTheDude> im not to happy with 11.10 how do you get it to fite with guest addition installed it seems to still not fit?
[04:43] <tomreyn> arnab: it may fail again in the end in which case you indeed need to change the APT sources
[04:43] <arnab> ok
[04:43] <tomreyn> or it might fix it
[04:43] <Bonster> arnab: get a new mirror, ubuntu servers usually craps out
[04:44] <urlin2u> arnab, might jusneed the repo changed in software sources.
[04:44] <CrOnOs2000> dcherniv, there are some pages talinkg about 2 video cards on ubuntu, is the integrated and the pci what you meant i cant use for dual monitor?
[04:44] <urlin2u> arnab, meaning a new mirror as suggested.
[04:45] <Bonster> CrOnOs2000: one video card per pc usually, unless u got a dual
[04:45] <urlin2u> ImTheDude, you have 11.10 in a virtual box correct?
[04:46] <MrTopless> Hi, I will be making server for Magento is Ubuntu good choise?
[04:46] <dcherniv> CrOnOs2000, yea as far as i know. SLI or dual pcix cards are usable.
[04:47] <dcherniv> CrOnOs2000, some laptops allow you to hot switch between two videocards on windows (integrated and non-integrated) linux cant do that as far as i know
[04:47] <aeon-ltd> MrTopless: this magento? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magento
[04:48] <tomreyn> dcherniv: actually that's often possible by now.
[04:48] <tomreyn> but hardly straight forward
[04:48] <CrOnOs2000> dcherniv, a shame i guess i just have to buy a new  video card, tnx for the answer
[04:49] <dcherniv> tomreyn, cool, didnt know they could do that
[04:49] <dcherniv> anybody knows if theres some video acceleration for intel video cards, like vdpau?
[04:50] <tomreyn> dri + mesa
[04:50] <tomreyn> it's all open source, supported by intel
[04:50] <dcherniv> ah ok.
[04:50] <CrOnOs2000> intel does have drivers on the web
[04:50] <arnab> ahh i finally have the application menu back, gnome-shell worked :) and i don't have that #@#! unity bar anymore, and my window menus are attached to the windows.
[04:50] <CrOnOs2000> only gma something is a pain coz not realy intel
[04:51] <arnab> i wouldn't mind to completely uninstall that hedious  #@!$ ugly "unity bar" completely from my system!
[04:52] <aafksab> thank you that worked!
[04:52] <CrOnOs2000> arnab, give it a try i hated at first too, now i just think is not stable
[04:53] <Bonster> arnab: try xfce or lxde then
[04:53] <urlin2u> aafksab, cool the screenshot of the users kinda gets things moving easier to understand if you can see it.
[04:53] <aafksab> for sure thank you very much
[04:53] <arnab> thank you but i don't want to give it a try again - just experienced it
[04:54] <arnab> gnome-shell seems to be working perfectly fine :)
[04:54] <urlin2u> arnab, you sound a bit bitter now. :D
[04:54] <urlin2u> with unity arnab
[04:55] <stan_man_can> How do i create a usr that only has access to a single folder? Right now i'm the only one with access to tmy server but i need to give someone SFTP access to their old web dev folder
[04:55] <arnab> yes - i admit that :) but i am happy that i got my system back to a state i can handle and love
[04:55] <edwardthefma> help
[04:55] <arnab> thanks guys for the help!
[04:55] <aeon-ltd> edwardthefma: ask away
[04:55] <edwardthefma> who hear has a working copy of apache2
[04:55] <Bonster> none
[04:55] <urlin2u> arnab, glad you got there I always have multiple OS's just for this sort of a occasions.
[04:56] <urlin2u> these*
[04:56] <_Neytiri_> how do i restart hte bind9 nameserver in ubuntu11.4
[04:56] <edwardthefma> i messed up a config file
[04:56] <edwardthefma> and i need a replace ment
[04:56] <Bonster> try google
[04:56] <edwardthefma> tryed that
[04:56] <edwardthefma> 0 results
[04:57] <arnab> actually for a moment i thought i was stuck- that there was no way to change it back to the wonderful system that it was - and i panicked :)
[04:57] <edwardthefma> that helped
[04:57] <urlin2u> arnab, natural response for anyone really.
[04:57] <edwardthefma> if some 1 could past bin the contents
[04:58] <_Neytiri_> how do i restart bind9  i am getting this error when i tried this comamnd service bind9 restart      bind9: unrecognized service
[04:58] <edwardthefma> /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
[04:58] <edwardthefma> it would be very helpfull
[04:58] <thorn__> Hey guys, can anyone suggest an easy way to merge folders containing pictures that may be duplicates but that may not have the same names? I was hoping to sort by size, but I think the size is only being as specific as that listed, ie 1.2 MB as opposed to sorting by bytes. This means that identical files won't be next to each other. Any suggestions?
[04:59] <Bonster> edwardthefma: this it? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=662889
[04:59] <edwardthefma> thx <Bonster>
[05:01] <thorn__> so when you delete a file on ubuntu one, is it deleted across all the computers?
[05:01] <shane_> @thorn try using the find command with the exec flag, something like find /path/to/files -type f -name "*duplicates*" -exec mv {} /path/to/dupefolder/ \;  you may have to play with the syntax a bit
[05:01] <tonyyarusso> thorn__: What does your second sentence mean?  Can you rephrase it?
[05:02] <tash> looking for some help setting up samba on my ubuntu server to share a directory. I followed this https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html but I get prompted for a password when I browse to \\server\share
[05:03] <thorn__> I have ubuntu one on several computers. I would like to delete a file in my ubuntu one folder that has been shared across all the computers. How do I do that?
[05:03] <paijem> tash: what your security option on your smb.conf ?
[05:03] <_Neytiri_> how do i restart bind9  i am getting this error when i tried this comamnd service bind9 restart      bind9: unrecognized service
[05:04] <paijem> _Neytiri_ maybe bind
[05:04] <_Neytiri_> tried it
[05:04] <Bonster> whats bind9
[05:04] <Bonster> do
[05:04] <_Neytiri_> its a DNS server
[05:04] <shane_> @Neytiri try sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 restart
[05:04] <tash> paijem: sec, checking
[05:05] <_Neytiri_> tried it
[05:05] <shane_> what was the output?
[05:05] <tonyyarusso> thorn__: You can easily sort by the size in bytes - `ls` shows bytes by default, and only converts to "1.2M" with the -h flag.  Additionallly, you can use pre-built utilities like the fdupes package to find duplicates based on file hashes.
[05:05] <tash> paijem:  security = user
[05:05] <paijem> thorn__: you have access privilege to do that
[05:05] <paijem> tash: have you set password samba for your user access ?
[05:06] <tash> no, I followed that tutorial straight through, unless I'm missing something
[05:06] <stan_man_can> how do you create a user that only has access to a certain directory?
[05:06] <_Neytiri_> shane_, its not there
[05:06] <_Neytiri_>  i tried removing and reinstalling bind and it sstill not there
[05:06] <shane_> did you install it with aptitude?
[05:06] <_Neytiri_> yes
[05:06] <tash> paijem: from what I understand, gues ok = yes is supposed to prevent password prompt ( guest ok: allows clients to connect to the share without supplying a password. ).
[05:07] <shane_> in /etc/init.d is there a service called "named" or just "bind" ?
[05:07] <Bonster> _Neytiri_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto#Restart_the_syslog_server_and_BIND9
[05:07] <thorn__> fdupes
[05:07] <paijem> tash: i think you need security = share on your smb.conf for that..
[05:08] <thorn__> thanks
[05:08] <_Neytiri_> Bonster, something is up as bind9 isnt in /etc/init.d/ and service cant find it
[05:08] <shane_> try (as root) updatedb ; locate bind|grep rc.d
[05:08] <thorn__> access privileges?
[05:08] <_Neytiri_> its installed
[05:08] <Bonster> _Neytiri_: try locate bind9
[05:08] <tash> paijem: worth a try, sec
[05:08] <_Neytiri_> thats what i am trying now
[05:09] <paijem> tash: don't forget to restart samba service
[05:09] <tash> yep :)
[05:09] <tash> done
[05:09] <tash> now testing
[05:09] <paijem> thorn__: yeah, for delete or remove you have enough access to do that
[05:10] <tonyyarusso> _Neytiri_: Any chance you logged into the wrong server?
[05:10] <tonyyarusso> (And it will be bind9 on Ubuntu, not bind or named)
[05:10] <_Neytiri_> nope
[05:10] <paijem> tash: success ?
[05:11] <tash> paijem: perfect :)
[05:11] <tash> ty
[05:11] <tonyyarusso> _Neytiri_: if /etc/init.d/bind9 doesn't exist, then it's not properly installed.  That's pretty much all there is to that.
[05:11] <MrTopless> Is Unbutu server good for Magento? How will it run faster through Vmware Workstation or directly from HDD?
[05:11] <_Neytiri_> tonyyarusso, it is
[05:12] <tonyyarusso> MrTopless: What's Magento?
[05:12] <tonyyarusso> _Neytiri_: what is?  Define is?
[05:12] <MrTopless> ecommerce open source platform
[05:12] <paijem> tash: good working man ?

[05:12] <TRAVISg> *soundcard
[05:13] <paijem> MrTopless: i think it would be more faster run directly from dedicated partition on hd
[05:13] <HackNewton> hello
[05:13] <MrTopless> So Vmware is made for simulation?
[05:13] <shane_> _Neytiri try searching for the binary with find /etc -type f -perm 755 -name "*bind*"  and see if it locates it
[05:14] <HackNewton> MrTopless, yes VMwares are simulators
[05:14] <tonyyarusso> MrTopless: LOL - I like how NONE of the features are checked under the Community Edition on their comparison chart.  Way to fail.
[05:14] <TRAVISg> Hello all audiophile 2496 soundcard no sound in 11.10
[05:14] <shane_> otherwise apt-get install bind9
[05:14] <_Neytiri_> shane /etc/network/if-up.d/bind9   /etc/network/if-down.d/bind9   /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/bind9 /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/bind9
[05:15] <bullgard6> !sound
[05:15] <HackNewton> my totem movie player is giving error when i try to resume videos after some time
[05:15] <HackNewton> anyone have solution
[05:15] <HackNewton> ?
[05:15] <MrTopless> well magento is one of the best and popular ecommerce platform, they have they name.
[05:16] <ImTheDude> i lost irc on a web page that i visit
[05:16] <MrTopless> There are lots of jobs nowdays based on Magento
[05:16] <ImTheDude> dont know what i did to do that
[05:16] <tonyyarusso> MrTopless: http://www.magentocommerce.com/system-requirements
[05:16] <shane_> what version of ubuntu are you runing?
[05:16] <HackNewton> 11.10
[05:16] <tonyyarusso> MrTopless: Never heard of it before today.
[05:16] <bkerensa> If someone can help TRAVISg: He has a Audiophile 2496 Sound Card and audio is not working... He is running Ubuntu 11.10
[05:17] <HackNewton> i never had problem in previous versions
[05:17] <MrTopless> Which one would be faster Apache or Linux?
[05:17] <tonyyarusso> ...
[05:17] <tonyyarusso> MrTopless: Apache is a web server.  Linux is a kernel.
[05:17] <HackNewton> MrTopless, Apache runs on Linux lol
[05:18] <MrTopless> but it can be configured to server
[05:18] <MrTopless> oh
[05:18] <_Neytiri_> shane_, 11.4
[05:18] <MrTopless> :-D
[05:18] <ImTheDude> i cant get movies to play i even set up 128 ram in graphics in vbox and added 4 cores to see if that would speed up
[05:18] <mxed> linux is faster becaus it runs apache
[05:18] <MrTopless> But if I run Apache on Windows 7 x64 and from Linux, on which the server will run faster?
[05:19] <tonyyarusso> MrTopless: What you just asked was equivalent to "Which one would be faster, Firefox or Windows" :P
[05:19] <HackNewton> tonyyarusso, nice point lol
[05:19] <tonyyarusso> MrTopless: You will probably get more bang for your resource buck on a Linux server, particularly since you won't be running a GUI.
[05:19] <shane_> _Neytiri what output do you get with   dpkg --get-selections | grep bind9
[05:19] <HackNewton> does anyone have solution over my Totem problem ?
[05:19] <tonyyarusso> MrTopless: In other words, Apache on Linux should run faster than Apache on Windows.
[05:20] <tonyyarusso> MrTopless: Also, Windows 7 is a desktop operating system, not intended to be used as a server.
[05:20] <MrTopless> So command based systems are much faster, because they don't use GPU?
[05:20] <Shirakawasuna> having some troubles - can't use mpc/mpd for some reason, both on laptop and desktop
[05:20] <_Neytiri_> shane_, bind9 install     bind9-doc install     bind9-host install     bind9utils install     libbind9-60 install
[05:20] <MrTopless> And GPU can be utilised to process numeral data?
[05:21] <HackNewton> MrTopless, no
[05:21] <tonyyarusso> MrTopless: No, because they don't have as much nonsense running, on the GPU *or* CPU *or* using RAM and disk.  Fewer programs, because the graphical shell is a bunch of programs, and pretty resource-intensive ones at that.
[05:21] <Shirakawasuna> on laptop, I get "ERROR: problems opening audio device"
[05:21] <Shirakawasuna> on desktop, I get "error: you don't have permission for "status""
[05:21] <paijem> _Neytiri_ : package BIND server on ubuntu was named with bind9
[05:21] <TRAVISg> I have an audiophile 2496 that is seen but I get no sound have checked all settings that I can any help?
[05:22] <HackNewton> Shirakawasuna, for laptop did you tried to install codecs ?
[05:22] <HackNewton> or reinstall it ?
[05:22] <shane_> _Neytiri try this:  /usr/sbin/named -u bind
[05:22] <MrTopless> But Graphics practically overload GPU and ram. But if I have 16GB of RAM?
[05:22] <SIFTU> ImTheDude: did you install the vbox additions on the VM?
[05:22] <_Neytiri_> returned nothing
[05:23] <shane_> now if you do:   ps aux | grep named  do you see the process running?
[05:23] <_Neytiri_> root     10490  0.0  0.5<PHONE_NUMBER>6 ?        Ssl  20:49   0:00 /usr/sbin/named bind     10883  0.0  0.4<PHONE_NUMBER>8 ?        Ssl  21:27   0:00 /usr/sbin/named -u bind root     10890  0.0  0.0   9132  1040 pts/0    S+   21:28   0:00 grep --color=auto named
[05:23] <marsfligth> Hi, what commands can I use to purge the trash based on trash content age?
[05:24] <shane_> yep it's alive.. see if it's serving DNS now on port 53, should be up
[05:24] <HackNewton> ah come on guys, did no one have solution over my problem ?
[05:24] <MrTopless> Okay another question, Linux partition map is somehow different then windows it goes deeper, below disk level.
[05:24] <_Neytiri_> i need to be able to restart it without having to go through all this
[05:24] <MrTopless> And you still can store files there
[05:24] <MrTopless> Is that correct?
[05:25] <HackNewton> MrTopless, Linux filesystem is mainly designed for sake of security
[05:25] <shane_> yeah you can find the original shell script for /etc/init.d/bind9 at http://www.bodhost.com/web-hosting/script-for-etcinitdnamed/
[05:25] <shane_> somehow yours got deleted, i have no idea how or why
[05:25] <_Neytiri_> thanks
[05:25] <MrTopless> Does it conflict with windows file system?
[05:25] <HackNewton> Windows somehow managed to designed to sake of convience for users
[05:26] <paijem> _Neytiri_: try reinstall them with #aptitude reinstall bind9
[05:26] <MrTopless> for example if I install both on same parition, windows and linux
[05:26] <HackNewton> at after certain point the filesystem to kernel looks similar
[05:26] <MrTopless> then I won't be able to remove linux without breaking windows
[05:26] <Shirakawasuna> HackNewton: not sure what you mean. Both computers have flac,
[05:26] <shane_> yeah reinstalling it is probably still the best way to go.. good luck
[05:27] <HackNewton> Shirakawasuna, make sure you have root permission to access your files in case of your Desktop
[05:27] <_Neytiri_> readding that script fixed it
[05:28] <shane_> nice
[05:28] <thorn__> tonyyarusso: thanks for that utility, it worked incredibly well first time.
[05:29] <thorn__> I have ubuntu one on several computers. I would like to delete a file in my ubuntu one folder that has been shared across all the computers. How do I do that?
[05:30] <MrTopless> Is it possible to play Windows game on Ubuntu?
[05:30] <MrTopless> games*
[05:30] <_Neytiri_> shane_, thanks for the help
[05:30] <MrTopless> for example Skyrim :-D
[05:30] <HackNewton> MrTopless, yes
[05:30] <xangua> !appdb | MrTopless
[05:30] <shane_> you're welcome, glad it worked
[05:30] <MrTopless> with same performance as on windows?
[05:30] <HackNewton> MrTopless, use wine
[05:31] <HackNewton> MrTopless, well with emuators you have little low performace than original one
[05:31] <paijem> thorn__: are you have root (sudoers) access to ubuntu system ?
[05:32] <HackNewton> but you have good hardware you even dont notice it
[05:32] <MrTopless> How emulator works?
[05:32] <HackNewton> well this is little bit out of room topic
[05:32] <MrTopless> it is like converter yes?
[05:32] <HackNewton> MrTopless, you can google it
[05:33] <MrTopless> ok
[05:33] <MrTopless> :-D
[05:33] <RudyValencia> Y'know what one of my favorite traditions is?
[05:33] <paijem> MrTopless: i thinks, emulator works "gateway" between your linux and windows game ..
[05:33] <RudyValencia> Enabling sudo to print insults when a user fails to enter their password properly
[05:33] <paijem> MrTopless: i mean like "gateway"
[05:34] <mxed> HackNewton, wine is not an emulator and  sometimes it handle games a bit faster than  wiindows, i do self play world of warcraft on one computer and linux and wow runs it better than  wiin, not sure why
[05:34] <mxed> most of time wiine is crap
[05:34] <urlin2u> RudyValencia, sounds like a developmental cog missing in your personality.
[05:34] <RudyValencia> hehe
[05:35] <RudyValencia> ...but only on my boxes do I do that
[05:35] <HackNewton> mxed, well you seem to run game fast because there is not any antivirus monitoring over your game's sholder
[05:35] <urlin2u> :D
[05:35] <paijem> i think may be more wise play windows game on windows. that was like you in your home :D
[05:36] <mxed> HackNewton, no it is because of that, i dont use av on any machines and xp is plain fresh instaled with latest drivers etc'
[05:36] <Shirakawasuna> HackNewton: it appears to be something w/ my audio device config
[05:37] <Shirakawasuna> HackNewton: if I revert to alsa rather than pulse, it works
[05:39] <mxed> HackNewton, i tought i saw an explanaiton that told wine can use less cpu cyckles than windows use for same program, it is theoretical and lot of things matter how well a program runs
[05:39] <mxed> but for sure is my wow running better in linux
[05:45]  * phlak_user is back
[05:45] <mxed> Wine means Wine Is Not an Emulator
[05:45] <mxed> Wine means Wine Is Not an Emulator
[05:45] <mxed> sory for double post
[05:45] <optimusM> can someone help me
[05:45] <MrTopless> mxed wow doesn't require lots of resourses if runs like 50 fps, you wont see a different if it is 60 or 90
[05:46] <phlak_user> optimusM, go ahead and state your problem and wait
[05:47] <optimusM> can i copy the code error im getting please
[05:47] <phlak_user> optimusM, pastebin it
[05:47] <thorn__> paijem: yes, I have sudo access, does that mean they will be deleted across all computers?
[05:47] <phlak_user> !pastebinit | optimusM
[05:47] <mxed> MrTopless, still it does not emulate and it could run even win apps faster but in the real world other things that how programs are compile et matter, drivers etc
[05:48] <HackNewton> mxed, for me wine still is not good for use it craps many times
[05:48] <optimusM> http://paste.ubuntu.com/735943/
[05:49] <optimusM> http://paste.ubuntu.com/735944/ i mean this code sorry
[05:49] <mxed> no i dont use wine either, but for my world of warcraft with a n old machine as p4 and  2gb  ram and 128mv nvidia it worx wery wel for me, and i reboot to linux when play that game
[05:49] <phlak_user> optimusM, is a package manager or update manager working?
[05:50] <optimusM> yea i just downloaded something
[05:50] <thorn__> I have ubuntu one on several computers. I would like to delete a file in my ubuntu one folder that has been shared across all the computers. How do I do that?
[05:51] <phlak_user> optimusM, only one can be working at any given time; wait for that to finish and then run the apt-get command
[05:52] <phlak_user> thorn__, you can delete it from any one computer and that change should get propagated to all the others
[05:52] <urlin2u> thorn__, never used ubuntu one, but how do you have it configured what s there?
[05:52] <urlin2u> is*
[05:53] <thorn__> so if I'm worried about sabotage from a single computer, I need to backup any particular files in a separate, non-ubuntu one directory, yes?
[05:53] <phlak_user> thorn__, or you can delete it using the files dashboard
[05:54] <HackNewton> anyone knows good text reader for Ubuntu
[05:54] <dr_willis> HackNewton:  more or less are commonly used for reading ascii text files
[05:54] <phlak_user> thorn__, you can set the behavior in the files dashboard
[05:55] <phlak_user> HackNewton, did you mean text-to-speech reader?
[05:55] <thorn__> where's the dashboard?
[05:55] <HackNewton> yes
[05:55] <HackNewton> sorry for confusion
[05:56] <HackNewton> I want a good text-to-speech reader
[05:56] <tonyyarusso> HackNewton: orca?
[05:56] <phlak_user> !info orca
[05:56] <dr_willis> or festival
[05:56] <dr_willis> depending on the details :)
[05:56] <tonyyarusso> !info gnome-orca
[05:57] <phlak_user> tonyyarusso, ah tx
[05:57] <Bartzy> Is it possible to get the files that a package is going to install before installing it ? with aptitude ?
[05:58] <HackNewton> ok i will try it
[05:58] <HackNewton> thanks
[05:58] <tonyyarusso> Bartzy: apt-file should let you look that up
[05:59] <Bartzy> thanks
[05:59] <spuunclk> any reccomendations on how to get a laptop buit-in webcam working on ubuntu 11.10 ?
[06:00] <dr_willis> spuunclk:   its been my experience - eithber they work fine out of the box.. or they are totally unsupported by linux.
[06:00] <dr_willis> spuunclk:  install cheese and see if it works in that? or in vlc yet?
[06:00] <thorn__> where's the dashboard?
[06:00] <spuunclk> dr_willis where would I start it from within linux?
[06:01] <spuunclk> where would the device be listed?
[06:01] <xangua> thorn__: press the ubuntu icon
[06:01] <dr_willis> spuunclk:  install cheese, run cheese
[06:01] <spuunclk> ahhh, ok.... thanks
[06:01] <dr_willis> or in vlc. theres a file -> video capture device
[06:01] <phlak_user> thorn__, or the Win (super) key
[06:01] <dr_willis> actually in 11.10 there was a webcam config button under the power-control button at the very top right also.
[06:01] <dr_willis> I noticed that yesterday
[06:01] <thorn__> what I mean is where is the Ubuntu One dashboard.
[06:02] <spuunclk> my hopes aren't too high but I'm gonna give it a go
[06:02] <dr_willis> That Power-control->webcams button here wantedt to install cheese. :) but i  also plauyed with the webcam in vlc yesterday
[06:03] <jiltdil> Is firefox 8 available for 64 bit ?? Not want to use ppa
[06:03] <dr_willis> You mean is it in the default repos yet?
[06:03] <jiltdil> yes
[06:03] <dr_willis> !ff8
[06:04] <thorn__> what I mean is where is the Ubuntu One dashboard?
[06:04] <dr_willis> havent even tried ff8 yet.. been using chrome and opera lately. :)
[06:04] <dr_willis> thorn__:  there was an icon on the left side panel for ubuntu one, that launched some sort of control-panel  i thought.
[06:04] <jiltdil> My cheese is not working properly it is showing odd colors
[06:05] <IdleWarship> I'd like to remap the keys on my numpad to 's', 'j' and some others.  What's the best trick to this in Ubunut?
[06:06] <optimusM> how do i do apt kill?
[06:06] <paijem> optimusM: are you mean kill apt process ?
[06:06] <dr_willis> optimusM:  clairfy what you mean
[06:07] <optimusM> kill apt process
[06:07] <dr_willis> !fixapt
[06:07] <optimusM> cause i logged off and back on and still got the same error
[06:08] <tito_> anyone mind helping me with bootloader problems?
[06:09] <elkng> it takes 3 minutes to open sone pdf file, I tryed to convert it using "pdf2ps" then again "ps2pdf", now it opened fast but now all letters seemed crooked, is there any other method to fix or reconvert pdf file rather then pdf->ps->pdf ?
[06:10] <optimusM> im trying to install java 5-jdk
[06:10] <thorn__> I found it, it's a web-based service that requires logging in.
[06:10] <jiltdil>  cannot set freq 48000 to ep 0x86   I am geeting this always don't know how to reolve this?? Help me to fix this
[06:10] <paijem> tito_: what exactly your bootloader problem ?
[06:10] <tito_> I had ubuntu 11.10 on my desktop and installed fedora 16 today. fedora does not show up in grub :(
[06:11] <paijem> tito_: run update-grub on your terminal
[06:11] <jiltdil> tito_ at teminal run this update-grub
[06:11] <tito_> it does not even show there is a fedora os installed
[06:12] <jiltdil> tito_ Ithen u didn't install bootloader for fedora
[06:12] <paijem> tito_: is os-prober command detect your fedora ?
[06:12] <fengshaun> hi all, I just installed ubuntu and I can't seem to enable wireless
[06:12] <tito_> how do I run os-prober? I dont know
[06:12] <fengshaun> I right click on network manager applet (ubuntu 10.04) and the "enable wireless" option is grayed out.
[06:13] <TBotNik> Hey All: Anyone know any good WordPress plugin gurus or an active WordPress channel.  Official channel at #wordpress is dead, no one ever responds, ever! and I mean ever!!!
[06:13] <dr_willis> tito_:  boot to ubuntu, rerun 'sudo update-grub' it should run os-prober and see the other  os's
[06:13] <paijem> tito_: like dr_willis says ..
[06:13] <Yagwit>  Does my hard drive have to be ntfs?
[06:13] <dr_willis> tito_:  then if everything works right. it will add  redhat to the grub menus
[06:14] <dr_willis> Yagwit:  what?
[06:14] <tito_> update grub detected fedora this time :D
[06:14] <tito_> thanx a ton guys! You guys are wesome! :D
[06:15] <paijem> that was greats
[06:15] <Yagwit> dr_willis: I need to go back to windows after a total install of ubuntu deleting all windows completely. Does my HD need to be NTFS?
[06:15] <jiltdil>  cannot set freq 48000 to ep 0x86   I am geeting this always don't know how to reolve this?? Help me to fix this
[06:16] <TBotNik> jiltdil: You talking X-Win?
[06:16] <dr_willis> Yagwit:  windows normallys installs to ntfs.. correct.. ask in #windows for windows help.
[06:16] <jiltdil> TBotNik, ??? NO its on virtual termina;
[06:16] <dr_willis> Yagwit:  or just delete all partitons on the hd. and let the windows installer repartion as needed
[06:17] <TBotNik> jiltdil: Which VT package you using?
[06:17] <bullgard4> [Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2] I am following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting item 4. After '~$ sudo aplay -l' I obtain: "abc is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." What does that mean? Who is reporting here what to whom for what reason?
[06:18] <jiltdil> TBotNik,  Vt pakages???
[06:18] <dr_willis> bullgarrd4 that user does not have sudo rights.
[06:19] <TBotNik> jiltdil: You said "in Virtual terminal"
[06:19] <mrdeb> is 3.1 going to be in ubuntu now
[06:19] <mrdeb> ?
[06:19] <bubah> bullgard4: you need root (or user that have sudo capability) to issue command
[06:20] <bullgard4> dr_willis: If your stement is the reason for this output message, why does https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting recommend me this procedure?
[06:20] <bullgard4> s/stement/statement/
[06:20] <dr_willis> normally your first made user has full sudo rights.. if you are using a differnt user.. then thats the reason.
[06:21] <dr_willis> any user using sudo, has to have sudo rights
[06:21] <TBotNik> jiltdil: I'm assuming you are running a VT other than native ssh.  Am I right?
[06:22] <jiltdil> TBotNik,  No, i mean to saay that when i go to alt+ctrl+f1 is show these type of message, perhabs u misunderstood my question
[06:22] <bullgard4> dr_willis: Please tell me why "This incident will be reported"? Who will report this incident to whom?
[06:22] <dr_willis> its being logged to your root user bull.
[06:23] <Bonster> the cookie monster
[06:23] <Yagwit> dr_willis: I'm middle of the road between linux and windows lol so help is hard to come by....but I get grub rescue with all cds except Ubuntu Live CD
[06:23] <TBotNik> jiltdil: Guess so, you are actually talking terminal session, not virtual terminal, and you are getting errors.  From which package?
[06:24] <jiltdil> TBotNik,  i think it is because of Cheese
[06:24] <TBotNik> jiltdil: Cheese?????
[06:24] <dr_willis> so in some log file somewhere.. theres a line.. user foo tried to use sudo....
[06:24] <jiltdil> TBotNik,  yes the webcam
[06:24] <phlak_user> !info cheese | TBotNik
[06:25] <jiltdil> TBotNik,  There are many bugs reported to it
[06:25] <dr_willis> Yagwit:  no comparison.. windows is just to flakey for me to use for more then just games.
[06:25] <Yagwit> dr_willis: yeah it's not for me
[06:25] <dr_willis> Yagwit:  i have spent some time learning how all these bootloaders work however. :) booting an os is an amazsing complex process
[06:25]  * jiltdil never used window in last 2 years
[06:25] <dr_willis> grub2 is pratically its own mini OS.
[06:26] <dr_willis> lilo, grub, syslinux, grub2   :)
[06:26] <TBotNik> jiltdil: Is there an alternate package to cheese?  I run Ubuntu and my WebCam went in seamlessly.  Let's see what is the package for that?
[06:27] <jiltdil> TBotNik,  Which application u use for your wecam??
[06:27] <dr_willis> from what ive seen of webcams in linux. either they work fine.. or are totally unsupported.. but often support gets added in a  newer kernel, or ubuntu release
[06:27] <dr_willis> you can test a webcam with vlc also instead of cheese.
[06:27] <optimusM> how can i install java5-jdk on 10.04
[06:27] <sasori> what's the difference between "ls -la" & "ls -l" ?
[06:27] <dr_willis> actually during the Install of ubuntu here. the webcam came on and took my picture. ;) for the 'lock screen' which was amuseing...
[06:27] <jiltdil> dr_willis,  cheese was working fine on my 11.04... I use mplayer via termianl for use of my webcam
[06:28] <dr_willis> jiltdil:  so you upgraded and webcam broke.
[06:28] <dr_willis> jiltdil:  or is this a clean install?
[06:28] <jiltdil> dr_willis,  clean install
[06:28] <jiltdil> dr_willis,  i generally use  mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=1280:height=720:device=/dev/video0  for using my webcam
[06:28] <dr_willis> could be some kernel bug/issue.. you dident notice if the installer used it did you?
[06:28] <dr_willis> on the live cd.
[06:29] <jiltdil> dr_willis,  no i didn't noticed it but now the kernel giving me message all th time  cannot set freq 48000 to ep 0x86
[06:30] <TBotNik> jiltdil: Well just checked my system and not using my WebCam stand-alone, so went in with Skype.  I would try the packages that dr-willis suggested.
[06:30] <thorn__> I had an "intern" offer to install Windows Enterprise, unlicensed, at my non-profit community center. The director's eyes lit up. How do I convince him it's a bad idea?
[06:30] <jiltdil> dr_willis,  It is working fine with lower resolution but with higher it is just too bad
[06:31] <jiltdil> TBotNik,  video chat is working fine no issue ...Online issue is with cheese
[06:31] <TBotNik> sasori: The -a means "all" the -l means list or verbose as in detailed, so -al is a detailed list of all.
[06:31] <sasori> ok thanks
