[14:27] <dr_willis> i forget how lilo even names hard drives.. sda = hd0  sdb = hd1  or is that grub naming?
[14:28] <epzil0n> Rafael_-: hehe. ok
[14:28] <llutz_> dr_willis: thats grub
[14:28] <alvinPH> ok thank you dudes
[14:28] <julie> grmrgecko, give me your lilo.conf on pastebin please
[14:29] <sophia23> Hi, can anyone help me pls with empty info.php issue?
[14:29] <imadper> chn: all flash have program or only youtube? i can't visit youtube because i'm in China

[14:30] <wsagent> hi can anybody help me out to install burg boot loader in ubuntu 10.10
[14:30] <chn> imadper, i think its any page, nba.com... can't i think of others right now
[14:30] <VOTProductions> My connection went down.
[14:30] <julie> !pastebin
[14:30] <grmrgecko> julie: I mean how do I get to it
[14:30] <grmrgecko> lol
[14:30] <grmrgecko> I know how to pastebin
[14:30] <VOTProductions> chn: Try http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[14:30] <BluesKaj> imadper, try html5 ..you can watch youtube without flash if you use chromium browser
[14:31] <julie> grmrgecko, ok, check your lilo.conf to see if it contains any reference to sdb and change it to sda
[14:31] <grmrgecko> julie: Where is it:P
[14:31] <grmrgecko> I checked /etc
[14:31] <VOTProductions> BluesKaj: Google Chrome has flash built in.
[14:31] <julie> grmrgecko, /etc/lilo.conf
[14:31] <grmrgecko> it's not there
[14:31] <wsagent> hi can anybody help me out to install burg boot loader in ubuntu 10.10
[14:31] <grmrgecko> this is in the console of lilo
[14:31] <imadper> BluesKaj: I'm in china, the goverment stopped people visiting youtube
[14:32] <grmrgecko> do I have to go into the console of ubuntu minimal?
[14:32] <VOTProductions> chn: So...  is it blocky at the adobe page?
[14:32] <chn> VOTProductions, it displays properly
[14:32] <BluesKaj> VOTProductions, not if he elects to use html5
[14:32] <julie> grmrgecko, yes do that
[14:32] <VOTProductions> BluesKay: Okay..
[14:32] <imadper> chn: maybe you can update your flash player. I can't help you, sorry~
[14:32] <wsagent> iMadper You need to have a proxy client installed like Hospot
[14:32] <chn> imadper, ok thanks nevermind!
[14:32] <BluesKaj> imadper, proxy ?
[14:33] <epzil0n> lastk: when i had windows i always put it in /dev/sda1 and then because i had several linux OS i made /dev/sda2 as an extended partition and inside that i made 7 logic partitions cos i had 3 linux OS with one shared swap partition and that layout was never a problem
[14:33] <rinkukokiri> BluesKaj, i thought chromium used an inbuilt flash plugin
[14:33] <VOTProductions> chn: What browser do you have?
[14:33] <julie> grmrgecko, I'm not sure I would have followed this approach if I had known that you didn't even have a lilo.conf file...  why did you say it wasn't working if it was simply not configured^
[14:33] <rinkukokiri> or maybe that was chrome...
[14:33] <imadper> wsagent BluesKaj  thx，but this online proxy is stopped by goverment also。。。
[14:33] <chn> VOTProductions, firefox 4.0.1
[14:33] <BluesKaj> rinkukokiri, of course but if you elect to use html5 , flash won't be needed
[14:34] <imadper> blu
[14:34] <BluesKaj> !HTML5
[14:34] <BluesKaj> !info HTML5
[14:34] <grmrgecko> I'll be back later
[14:35] <wsagent> imadper :then find some IP hiding or changing software to change your IP to another region
[14:35] <grmrgecko> I can figure it out if it's in the console
[14:35] <epzil0n> lastk: i remember from somewhere that windows will not be bootable if it's somewhere else then in the first primary partition.. so if i was in your shoes i would reinstall everything and make that hdd layout that i suggested.. but that's me
[14:35] <VOTProductions> chn: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. Use "APT" version.
[14:35] <imadper> BluesKaj: i have a ssh host in cjb.net, but it can't login also. The goverment stop people to visit youtube/facebook/twitter anyway
[14:35] <VOTProductions> chn: Never mind...
[14:35] <chn> VOTProductions, haha ok
[14:36] <julie> grmrgecko, start with /etc/lilo.conf.example
[14:36] <oCean> chn: you used flashplugin-installer from repo?
[14:36] <BluesKaj> imadper, I guess because of all the unrest in the middle east , the gov't is afraid of it happening again
[14:36] <chn> VOTProductions, ok thanks for your time, i got to go
[14:36] <VOTProductions> Bye.
[14:36] <VOTProductions> chn: Do you have the restricted extras?
[14:36] <VOTProductions> chn: If not, install them.
[14:36] <imadper> BluesKaj: you r right~
[14:37] <chn> oCean, i tried both, from web and from synaptic
[14:37] <chn> VOTProductions, ok i will try that
[14:37] <chn> bye
[14:37] <epzil0n> lastk: maybe you also should have one partiton with NTFS filesystem for shared files and i would not make that one a logic partition
[14:38] <Garfio> a
[14:38] <VOTProductions> So...
[14:38] <Garfio> alguien de almeria?
[14:38] <oCean> !es | Garfio
[14:39] <imadper> wsagent: but i need a host provide this service, and the goverment have stopped all the hosts who can provide this service
[14:39] <wsagent> then you should talk to your goverment for that... just kidding
[14:40] <vince> 0364
[14:40] <djpatrio> exit
[14:40] <julie> imadper, if your governement says you can't, maybe you really shouldn't unless you're part of a resistance group
[14:40] <imadper> wsagent: anyone who want to talk to gov will die    I am serious
[14:41] <bazhang> !ot
[14:41] <oCean> imadper: wsagent julie, let's get back on topic, ok?
[14:41] <imadper> oCean: sorry~
[14:41] <wsagent> imadper :anyway i am facing the same issue here in UAE they also blocked a lots of sites but i am using CJB.net that they didn't block yet
[14:41] <julie> oCean, I haven't seen a single on-topic comment from you and the channel is almost dead
[14:42] <oCean> julie: that's not any reason to start offtopic talk now
[14:42] <bazhang> julie, this is ubuntu support only. chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic , slow or not

[14:47] <wsagent> thanks bazhang, ubottu
[14:48] <VOTProductions> jtreminio: What do you mean by default?
[14:49] <epzil0n> wsagent: are you going to decorate grub or what?
[14:49] <jtreminio> I installed and uninstalled Macbuntu package. On uninstall it removed the universal menubar as well
[14:49] <jtreminio> the global bar
[14:49] <jtreminio> Sorry, forgot to address. VOTProductions: I installed and uninstalled Macbuntu package. On uninstall it removed the universal menubar as well
[14:50] <VOTProductions> jtreminio: Ahh...
[14:50] <c0mrade316> QUESTION: want to move the window buttons from top right corner to top left corner in ubuntu.. (it would be on top left corner by default but i have installed a theme and it changed it to top right corner. i want the same theme but jus window buttons must be moved..)
[14:50] <VOTProductions> jterminio: So... the left hand side bar is still there?
[14:51] <jtreminio> VOTProductions: yep!
[14:51] <VOTProductions> Ok... you probably don't have a package installed.
[14:52] <jtreminio> VOTProductions: is it indicator app menu? I can't right-click on the top bar to add things to the panel like in previous versions.
[14:52] <VOTProductions> jterminio: That is normally.
[14:52] <VOTProductions> normal*
[14:53] <VOTProductions> indicator-applet-appmenu?
[14:53] <VOTProductions> jtreminio: sudo apt-get install indicator-applet-appmenu
[14:54] <jtreminio> thanks, looks like it needs a log off/on. I'll try it now. Thanks again VOTProductions
[14:54] <VOTProductions> jtreminio: What do you get when you do my command?
[14:55] <jtreminio> thanks VOTProductions, seems to have worked :)
[14:55] <VOTProductions> Your welcome.
[14:56] <VOTProductions> I'll file a bug report in Macubuntu package.
[14:59] <VOTProductions> Anyone need help out of the whole let of join/left?

[15:00] <HelloWorld321> I've got a problem with Samba shares on an Ubuntu system.  The Ubuntu system can see the other computers.  The other systems can see the Ubuntu system on the network, but can't browse it's shares.  The Ubuntu system CAN browse its own Samba shares at smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/ but CANNOT browse its own Samba shares at smb://localhost/ ... anybody got any tips or tests to try?
[15:00] <_aegis_> can you post your smb.conf?
[15:00] <_aegis_> pastebin
[15:00] <dr_willis> HelloWorld321, somthis is very weird.. localhost is <IP_ADDRESS>   try  the actual machines ip# -
[15:00] <VOTProductions> HelloWorld321: What is the other machine's OSes?
[15:00] <theadmin> HelloWorld321: Check /etc/hosts too, make sure "<IP_ADDRESS> localhost" is there
[15:01] <HelloWorld321> _aegis_: I've never done that .... gimme a minute ...
[15:01] <HelloWorld321> VOTProductions: Windows 7
[15:01] <VOTProductions> Ah.
[15:01] <HelloWorld321> theadmin: yes, it is, I'll post that too
[15:01] <dr_willis> Samba and window shareing juzst seems to get harder/more problematic with each relase of windows. I have several windows box's that never see each other on the network. but if i enter the name/ip buy hand they do work. same for my linux machines on the network. Some times they show up. some times they dont. but they do work.
[15:01] <Benz> hey.. anyone here who can help me with a question about chromium? :)
[15:01] <lastk> epzil0n : but, the strange is the grub is not loading... I should see only the linux options there, right?
[15:02] <dr_willis> Benz,  state the queztion and see
[15:03] <Benz> what font is used in chromium? :)
[15:03] <_aegis_> I've been using the exact same ubuntu smb.conf for six or seven years on my fileserver without problems :)
[15:03] <VOTProductions> Benz: The one you choose.
[15:03] <epzil0n> lastk: yeah, try hitting esc-key at boot..
[15:03] <theadmin> epzil0n: It's left-shift, not esc
[15:03] <theadmin> lastk: ^
[15:04] <dr_willis> I have to wonder why they dotn set up grub where ANYKEY shows the menu..
[15:04] <epzil0n> theadmin: ok, thx
[15:04] <VOTProductions> Benz: The system one. I think.
[15:04] <Benz> VOTProductions: the problem is, that I didn't choose anyone... :/ but where can I check it?
[15:04] <VOTProductions> What is your DE? (Desktop Environment)
[15:05] <VOTProductions> I'm guessing Unity with GNOME?
[15:05] <Benz> im new... so the what? :P
[15:05] <VOTProductions> Never mind.
[15:05] <VOTProductions> So...
[15:05] <HelloWorld321> hosts: http://pastebin.com/t3jn9dcY
[15:05] <craigbass1976> I can't get my new monitor to work right.  I'm only getting 1368x768, and I should be able to get 1440x900.  I'm running LXDE.  The max resolution my preferences --> monitor settings gives me is the 1368x768.  I've done a sudo dpkg reconfigure x-server.org, messed with xrandr, but neither worked.  I've also edited xorg.conf, but the file was a bit sparse to begin with so I'm wondering if that's not the preferred method anymore.
[15:05] <VOTProductions> Right click on Desktop.
[15:05] <VOTProductions> Change Desktop Background.
[15:05] <VOTProductions> Fonts tab.
[15:06] <theadmin> craigbass1976: No, xorg.conf is hardly ever used anymore, however is still an option
[15:06] <VOTProductions> craigbass1976: LXDE isn't supported.
[15:06] <_aegis_> the resolution is xorg's fault though
[15:06] <dr_willis> craigbass1976,  whats your video chipset?
[15:06] <bazhang> VOTProductions, sure it is
[15:06] <HelloWorld321> smb.conf: http://pastebin.com/xB1P4exG
[15:07] <theadmin> VOTProductions: Well as long as it's Ubuntu we can support it
[15:07] <Benz> SO NICE!!! Thank you!
[15:07] <VOTProductions> theadmin: OK...
[15:07] <dr_willis> Lubuntu is not quiet 'officially supported'  is it? but if you install lxde on ubuntu.. :)
[15:08] <theadmin> dr_willis: Not like it makes much difference
[15:08] <craigbass1976> dr_willis, VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] (rev a2)
[15:09] <craigbass1976> VOTProductions, what do you mean isn't supported?
[15:09] <ikonia> craigbass1976: it is - VOTProductions is wrong
[15:09] <VOTProductions> craigbass1976: The ultimate goal of the lubuntu project is to earn official endorsement from Canonical.
[15:09] <thevishy> i installed mplayer-gui but cant see the binary for that ,how do I find it? gmplayer is the known binary file but its showing as command not found
[15:09] <VOTProductions> I'll be back.
[15:10] <dr_willis> craigbass1976,  you did install the nvidia drivers? using that addational-drivers tool, or 'jockey-gtk' ?
[15:10] <ikonia> VOTProductions: please check your private messages I need to speak to you
[15:10] <HelloWorld321> dr_willis: the actual IP fails ...  Could not display "smb://nn.nnn.n.nn/".
[15:10] <bazhang> craigbass1976, it is supported, ignore VOTProductions
[15:10] <craigbass1976> dr_willis, I think I did back when I installed lucid in the first place.  It was (if I remember right) one of those proprietary drivers you have the option of using
[15:11] <craigbass1976> ikonia, bazhang, I thought it was.  Starting at Lucid, yes?
[15:11] <dr_willis> craigbass1976,  reinsatll them,. it could be they are some how broken, or dident upgrade
[15:11] <slashdot> why cant i stand by in ubuntu like i could on xp
[15:12] <liminal> hello
[15:12] <thevishy> i installed mplayer-gui but cant see the binary for that ,how do I find it? gmplayer is the known binary file but its showing as command not found
[15:12] <dr_willis> HelloWorld321,  like --> smb://<IP_ADDRESS>         Odd..  see if you can ping the machines ip#
[15:12] <slashdot> in suspend the fans are still running
[15:12] <thevishy> slashdot, what do you mean by tht
[15:12] <slashdot> its like just loging out
[15:12] <liminal> does anyone know how to setup multimonitors on unity?
[15:12] <dr_willis> 'standby/hibernate' you mean
[15:13] <slashdot> but in hibernate it shuts down completely right?
[15:13] <HelloWorld321> dr_willis: ping localhost ok;  ping <IP_ADDRESS> ok; ping ip ok
[15:13] <BlouBlou> slashdot: Right
[15:13] <chrege> i can't run java programs in anjuta
[15:14] <slashdot> i guess i will just have to live with the boot time
[15:14] <dr_willis> HelloWorld321,  i would have to guess theres some firewall, or similer blocking the samba access. see if you can ssh to the box. see if findsmb, or smbtree sees the shares
[15:15] <HelloWorld321> _aegis_: I posted smb.conf to http://pastebin.com/xB1P4exG ... is there anything screwy in there?
[15:16] <HelloWorld321> dr_willis: where would the firewall be?  would it have to be on the ubuntu box itself?
[15:16] <_aegis_> which share is giving you problems?
[15:16] <_aegis_> and what problems exactly?
[15:16] <dr_willis> HelloWorld321,  theres no defauilt firewall rules on ubuntu
[15:17] <mrdeb> when is kernel 39 going to be in ubuntu
[15:17] <antivirtel> Hi! http://paste2.org/p/1464348 ... the baned IP 84.x.y.z can still access the server... but if I place a DROP all rule to INPUT, it works... - what may cause the problem?
[15:17] <HelloWorld321> _aegis_:  All the shares.  The Ubuntu system can see the other computers.  The other systems can see the Ubuntu system on the network, but can't browse it's shares.  The Ubuntu system CAN browse its own Samba shares at smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/ but CANNOT browse its own Samba shares at smb://localhost/
[15:17] <HelloWorld321> dr_willis: findsmb did find itself
[15:17] <dr_willis> HelloWorld321,  and how about the smb://ip.of.the.linux.box      localhost SHOULD be the same as <IP_ADDRESS> - Unless the hosts file is saying otherwise.
[15:18] <dr_willis> i rember why i tend to use winscp and ssh these days :)
[15:19] <edbian> Yesterday I helped a friend of mine install linux on their personal computer.  Ubuntu worked FLAWLESSLY.  It was an asus eee (even the wifi worked out of the box!)  Is there a place I can post my story?  Ordinarily I'd say something to managment. Who in Ubuntu is 'Management'?
[15:19] <_aegis_> HelloWorld321: smb might be caching by the exact hostname you've provided. does smb:// issue to localhost persist across reboot?
[15:19] <bazhang> edbian, ubuntuforums testimonials perhaps
[15:20] <VOTProductions> Back...
[15:20] <edbian> bazhang: thanks
[15:21] <msmoketd> waa im getting spammed from my box via a script of some sort yet I cant find the script :(
[15:21] <VOTProductions> Sorry...
[15:21] <HelloWorld321> dr_willis: smbtree had a problem.  It said "NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED"  (http://pastebin.com/7RhW8QfG)
[15:21] <dr_willis> HelloWorld321,  thats normal. when its scanning the network
[15:22] <msmoketd> how do you blacklist a sender in qmail?
[15:22] <HelloWorld321> dr_willis: smb://ip.of.the.box fails with "Could not display smb://ip.of.the.box"
[15:23] <HelloWorld321> _aegis_: yes it persists.  I set it up once.  It worked just fine.  Then I rebooted.  And it hasn't worked since.  :P
[15:23] <dr_willis> HelloWorld321,  you did make a share?  just right click on a folder, share it. allow all and guest access as a test.
[15:24] <liminal> reg
[15:24] <HelloWorld321> dr_willis: Yes, I have shares on it.  Maybe my problem is permissions.  I'll take a peek at that.
[15:24] <liminal> register
[15:24] <liminal> how do i register my nick?
[15:24] <liminal> doh
[15:25] <larsDK> Netgear Stora NAS: why must I be root to create directory (sudo mkdir)?
[15:25] <theadmin> liminal: /msg nickserv help register
[15:25] <HelloWorld321> dr_willis: the permissions of none of the shares nor none of the files comes back "The permissions of .... could not be determined"
[15:26] <VOTProductions> I'm sorry for my mistake.
[15:26] <dr_willis> HelloWorld321,  thats getting weirder.. just check the permissions of a normal file? one thats not shared.. could be theres some filesystem curruption
[15:27] <HelloWorld321> o! o! o! o! o! o!  k, maybe that's something to do with it.
[15:28] <dr_willis> HelloWorld321,  Things really sound weird to me. It may be time to start checking iout the whole system
[15:28] <dr_willis> dosent hurt to boot a live cd and fsck the filesystems in any case. :)
[15:28] <HelloWorld321> dr_willis: here's the thing ... I did an Ubuntu install on top of a Windows machine.  It didn't reformat the hard drive.  It kept the data.  And all my data is on the NTFS partition.   That's something, isn't it?
[15:29] <HelloWorld321> All my SMB shares are on the old NTFS partition
[15:30] <compdoc> you formatted the partition as ntfs and share it using samba?
[15:30] <dr_willis> HelloWorld321,  i would have to say (nicely as i can) you are confused. You dont install to a NTFS..    you can share ntfs via samba. but you need to mount them with the proper permissions from fstab. Ive had major issues with trying to share them when they automount and use the gvfs stuff. :)
[15:30] <dr_willis> But perhaps i am missunderstanding somthing. :)
[15:30] <edbian> wubi
[15:31] <bazhang> HelloWorld321, wubi install?
[15:31] <edbian> dr_willis: HelloWorld321 wubi
[15:31] <HelloWorld321> WUBI.  Ye, that's what I mean.  It was a Wubi install
[15:31]  * dr_willis covers his ears at the mention of WUBI.
[15:31] <dr_willis> :)
[15:31] <edbian> There is even an option on the live CD, after you've booted it, that says 'install inside windows' which presumably does a wubi install
[15:32] <dr_willis> cant say ive seen  that when you boot the live cd.. if you put it into a box thats running windowas. it pops up a dialog.
[15:32] <HelloWorld321> Is Wubi my problem?
[15:32] <theadmin> HelloWorld321: WUBI is everyone's problem
[15:32] <dr_willis> theadmin,  :) i was being nice and trying to not type somthing like that.. heh
[15:32] <edbian> dr_willis: yes.  If you put it in the box while windows is running it prompts for wubi.  But if you boot the live CD and start the installer, one of the partitioning choices is 'install inside windows'  I just did it last night.
[15:33] <HelloWorld321> And edbian didn't have any trouble at all.
[15:33] <edbian> HelloWorld321: What is the issue exactly?
[15:33] <edbian> I didn't choose wubi
[15:33] <edbian> I just saw it there
[15:33] <edbian> I didn't liked it there.  Rather misleading in my opinion
[15:34] <edbian> What's the issue exactly?
[15:35] <HelloWorld321> edbian: My problem is Wubi, and the issue is Samba shares.  Ubuntu can't authenticate to the other Windows 7 systems, and the Windows 7 systems can't browse Ubuntu.  Meanwhile, some folks suggesting network issues had me check that I CAN connect to smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/ but I CANNOT connect to smb://localhost/ NOR to smb://ip.of.the.box/
[15:35] <VOTProductions> !samba
[15:35] <VOTProductions> I hope that will help you.
[15:36] <dr_willis> and all 3 of those should work identically,.,. so theres some sort of networking, or deeper issue going on.
[15:36] <edbian> HelloWorld321: If you want to share files between Ubuntu and Windows there is a much easier solution.  Ubuntu can mount NTFS shares natively and in windows all you have to do is install an ext4 driver.  http://www.soluvas.com/read-browse-explore-open-ext2-ext3-ext4-partition-filesystem-from-windows-7/   Setting up a samba server is hard.
[15:37] <scorchgeek> ok, stupid question: I have a flash drive containing a bootable Ubuntu partition, and I cannot figure out for the life of me how to erase this partition and restore the drive to a single 8GB FAT32 partition...I tried GParted, and it won't unmount the partition so I can't do anything with it, and if I eject it from Nautilus it ejects all parts of the drive so I can't modify it anymore.
[15:37] <VOTProductions> edbian: I think he wants more than one PC to share files to.
[15:37] <TuxOtaku> does anyone here use IDJC?
[15:37] <HelloWorld321> VOTProductions, edbian: that's correect
[15:37] <theadmin> scorchgeek: Use another OS or a livecd to format it
[15:37] <dr_willis> HelloWorld321,  you could also just install ssh, on linux and use winscp on the windows box's and get files back/forth that way
[15:37] <edbian> scorchgeek: You need to unmount
[15:37] <VOTProductions> scorchgeek: Try deleting all files.
[15:37] <edbian> HelloWorld321: You have a  networking problem.  What happens if you ping 'localhost'  ?
[15:37] <scorchgeek> Nautilus won't let me delete all the files. How do I unmount it? If I select "unmount" in GParted it works for a little while and then does nothing.
[15:38] <edbian> scorchgeek: You can still edit using gparted if it's unmounted (you have to edit when it's unmounted)
[15:38] <HelloWorld321> edbian: ping localhost ok;  ping <IP_ADDRESS> ok; ping ip ok
[15:38] <dr_willis> scorchgeek,  you could use 'fdisk' and delete the partitins. it wont care if its mouinted or not.
[15:38] <dr_willis> scorchgeek,  be carefull with fdisk
[15:38] <VOTProductions> Unmount it in Gparted and then format it.
[15:38] <scorchgeek> VOTProductions: as I said, I attempted that and it wouldn't do it
[15:38] <edbian> HelloWorld321: My only suggestion is to follow a comprhensive guide.  Like this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba
[15:39] <dr_willis> close out all apps accessing it. and unmount it via the command line then rerun gparted. should work also.
[15:39] <scorchgeek> dr_willis: aha, thanks, umount worked. For some reason the built-in unmount command was doing nothing.
[15:39] <VOTProductions> sudo umount <device-name>
[15:40] <VOTProductions> Make sure to format it to FAT32.
[15:40] <scorchgeek> yeah, I'll just delete the second partition and extend the first since that one was fine.
[15:40] <HelloWorld321> This also wouldn't be the first time I've heard somebody slam my Wubi install.  I suppose I should try to do Ubuntu right.
[15:41] <dr_willis> HelloWorld321,  or just run it in virtualbox
[15:41] <dr_willis> scorchgeek,  if you want to keep that data on the first.. thats the way to go.
[15:41] <cloud9> hello
[15:41] <VOTProductions> HelloWorld321: Wubi isn't bad. It's only that it is slower (although you can't notice a difference on newer PCs) and if Windows corrupts Ubuntu corrupts too.
[15:42] <VOTProductions> And you miss out on GRUB and other goodies.
[15:42] <dr_willis> and when wubi breaks.. theres seems to be very little support for it.
[15:42] <dr_willis> and it does seem to break often. well it could be i see that here.. bcaeuse this is where people come to get wubi help :)
[15:42] <theadmin> Well WUBI is just a way to dig around in a Ubuntu install for a few days, it's not for serious usage
[15:43] <VOTProductions> Wubi uses your existing NTFS. Real Ubuntu uses ext4.
[15:43] <Chotaz> is I want to run something every 5 minutes, is this the apropriatte crontab line? : */5 * * * * <command>
[15:43] <theadmin> VOTProductions: False. WUBI creates a virtual ext3 hard drive, if I recall right
[15:43] <dr_willis> wubi uses a FILE that is looped backmounted and is using ext4  (or was it ext3) but the file is on a ntfs.
[15:44] <VOTProductions> theadmin: Yes.  You would have Ubuntu running on the Windows file system, not the best choice."
[15:45] <larsDK> How can I mkdir on a network drive without being su (sudo mkdir)?
[15:45] <VOTProductions> "If you get a kernel update in wubi it can kill both systems and it is quite unstable. "
[15:46] <theadmin> larsDK: You probably need to set uid or gid in fstab
[15:46] <edbian> VOTProductions: who are you quoting?
[15:46] <VOTProductions> Various forum posts.
[15:46] <mordof> ok, so i've had dual monitor running on TwinView for the longest time - but i'm in a situation where I can use 3 monitors.. I have an onboard vga card that i'd like to use to extend my desktop, is that possible?
[15:46] <OerHeks> VOTProductions, why would you be so negativ, pls don't.
[15:46] <VOTProductions> Ok...
[15:46] <VOTProductions> larrsDK: You mean sudo?
[15:46] <dr_willis> mordof,  ive seen it done. and done it ages ago.. but it was a little flakey.
[15:46] <larsDK> theadmin: I tried doing that in fstab (501 and 500 respectively) but it does not seem to work.
[15:46] <theadmin> VOTProductions: Use the Tab key to avoid misspelling names
[15:47] <dr_willis> mordof,  what chipset is the onboard?
[15:47] <mordof> dr_willis: not sure even
[15:47] <VOTProductions> theadmin: Thanks for the tip.
[15:47] <perlsyntax> anyone know how to get wlan-ng to work on ubuntu
[15:47] <mordof> dr_willis: i don't know where to start.. it's an AMD 880G something
[15:47] <VOTProductions> perlsyntax: What kind of wireless card is it?
[15:47] <mordof> dr_willis: Ah, HD 4250
[15:47] <mordof> dr_willis:  great -.-; not compatinble with twinview
[15:47] <dr_willis> mordof,  i did it once.. when the onboard and my  extra video card. both used the same driver..  (nvidia , same version) - but if they use/need differnt versions/drivers.. it can be  much harder. perhaps impossible.
[15:47] <VOTProductions> Yo yo.
[15:48] <dr_willis> mordof,  combining an ATI and NVIDIA = not sure if thats doable..
[15:48] <mordof> dr_willis: ;_;
[15:48] <dr_willis> mordof,  now and Intel and nvidia - perhaps.
[15:48] <mrdeb> hi VOTProductions
[15:48] <mordof> dr_willis: it's so easy on windows >.<; some things still jsut plain suck
[15:48] <VOTProductions> Hi mrdeb...
[15:48] <dr_willis> mordof,  driver/hw makers never want to do things the same way.
[15:49] <dr_willis> mordof,  ive have heard that 11.04/unity has some big issues with MultiMonitor support also.
[15:49] <mordof> dr_willis: ah. twinview has been working great at least
[15:49] <VOTProductions> mordof: Try the linux-nonfree-firmware drivers.
[15:49] <mordof> i first need to determine if the hardware is even on
[15:49] <larsDK> theadmin: strangely it is possible from the GUI (= File Browser) to create directories without sudo
[15:49] <mordof> i'm not sure that my BIOS turned it on
[15:49] <theadmin> larsDK: Okay now, that's awkward
[15:49] <VOTProductions> Is it a USB device?
[15:50] <ingm> hi can anyone help with wireless
[15:50] <mordof> VOTProductions: me?
[15:50] <VOTProductions> Yes.
[15:50] <mordof> VOTProductions: .... multi-monitor
[15:50] <mordof> VOTProductions: no
[15:50] <ingm> 11.04 can connect with cable but not wireless
[15:50] <VOTProductions> ingm: of course.
[15:50] <VOTProductions> So...
[15:50] <ingm> managed to get mic working on my own lol
[15:51] <Emmanuel_Chanel> Hello!
[15:51] <VOTProductions> ingm: Try the linux-nonfree-drivers.
[15:51] <theadmin> Welcome, Emmanuel_Chanel
[15:51] <yu> hahha
[15:51] <ingm> oh sorry am new
[15:51] <larsDK> theadmin: the device is a Netgear Stora NAS and all directories gets created with user=501 and group=500.
[15:51] <VOTProductions> Hi Emmanuel_Chanel
[15:51] <yu> first time
[15:51] <VOTProductions> ingm: You know the terminal?
[15:51] <ingm> yes
[15:51] <mordof> dr_willis: any chance you would know how to check if the bios has enabled my onboard first off?
[15:51] <theadmin> larsDK: Alright, wait, who the heck is 501? Ubuntu starts user numbering with 1000 (user created on install)
[15:51] <VOTProductions> ingm: Open it
[15:52] <mordof> dr_willis: i'm not seeing it in any of the monitor/driver settings, but that's fairly understandable if it's not installed or recognized
[15:52] <ingm> ok
[15:52] <larsDK> theadmin: Netgear Stora NAS is running some version of Linux...
[15:52] <yu> China?
[15:52] <VOTProductions> ingm: Actually...
[15:52] <dr_willis> mordof,  lspci command.
[15:52] <ingm> ?
[15:52] <VOTProductions> ingm: Please wait.
[15:52] <ingm> k
[15:53] <mordof> dr_willis: no VGA aside from the GeForce i have ;_;
[15:53] <yu>  I' m Chinese
[15:53] <mordof> dr_willis: i take it that means the BIOS didn't enable it?
[15:53] <dr_willis> mordof,  proberly not.
[15:53] <mordof> kk, time to go try again~
[15:53] <mordof> brb

[16:01] <VOTProductions_> ingm: Ahh...
[16:01] <Xpistos_home> VOTProductions_: Can I do it with the drive mouinted?
[16:01] <VOTProductions_> Yes... I think.
[16:01] <theadmin> ingm, check out http://intellinuxwireless.org/
[16:01] <VOTProductions_> ingm: Does any wireless connections appear?

[16:02] <VOTProductions_> Xpistos_home: Get your Live CD...
[16:02] <Xpistos_home> VOTProductions_: can I umount it by doing umount /dev/data?
[16:02] <VOTProductions_> And boot it.
[16:03] <VOTProductions_> Xpistos_home: Is it your /root partition?
[16:03] <VOTProductions_> Is yes, then no.
[16:03] <Xpistos_home> VOTProductions_: the /data partition is data only so I can umount it and it won't cause a problem. not it isn't root
[16:03] <VOTProductions_> Ok.
[16:03] <theadmin> Xpistos_home: then run sudo umount /data
[16:03] <VOTProductions_> Xpistos_home: Go you and do umount.

[16:03] <XOXO1> hello. what kind of script or sumthing I have to write so that if I hit alt+f2 and type gc then it would execute "google-chrome --incognito" ?
[16:04] <VOTProductions_> ingm: What exactly is the probably with the wireless?
[16:04] <theadmin> XOXO1: You answered your own question ;) Create a file called /usr/local/bin/gc, make it executable, inside it type #!/bin/bash, a new line, and then that command
[16:05] <Edie_> How can I install drivers for my wireless usb adaptor to work?
[16:05] <Xpistos_home> VOTProductions_: I did " sudo umount /dev/sdb5" and it says ok, but then I try to fsck and it give me the error that says it is mounted
[16:06] <Xpistos_home> the opti drive in this is broke and I dont' have a usb handy
[16:06] <ingm> the wireless wont work at all
[16:06] <ingm> does not find router
[16:06] <ingm> works on ethernet fine
[16:06] <rcconf> hi, i haven't upgraded to 11.04 yet. Am I missing something?
[16:07] <theadmin> rcconf: You're missing the Unity nightmare
[16:07] <rcconf> :P
[16:07] <xangua> rcconf: new software
[16:07] <rcconf> xangua: new kernel .. more
[16:07] <BlouBlou> rcconf: Nothing that you can't install enabling backports or using few PPAs
[16:07] <theadmin> rcconf: A former Arch user are ya?
[16:07] <rcconf> !backport
[16:07] <dr_willis> newer is always funner! :)
[16:08] <ingm> i think i need to find what card i have some drive issue i guess
[16:08] <Emmanuel_Chanel> Hello, all! How do Ubuntu Developers like ReiserFS or Reiser4?
[16:08] <BlouBlou> dr_willis: Only if you have time to fix it
[16:08] <rcconf> libreoffice is good?
[16:08] <BlouBlou> rcconf: Usability; OpenOffice = LibreOffice
[16:08] <theadmin> rcconf: Quite so, but you can get it on 10.10 as well, just get it from libreoffice.org
[16:08] <dr_willis> Emmanuel_Chanel,  you just dont hear much about any of the ReiserFS's  these days. BTRFS is the next big thing i guess.
[16:08] <A-KO> Any word on a patch for http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2011-1938 ?
[16:08] <theadmin> rcconf: LibreOffice = OpenOffice but faster and with better format support
[16:09] <Emmanuel_Chanel> dr_willis: Thx answering.
[16:09] <rcconf> why wont they just work together in one program
[16:09] <rcconf> libre + open office
[16:09] <theadmin> rcconf: Oracle are weird :/
[16:10] <rcconf> :|
[16:10] <dr_willis> Emmanuel_Chanel,  i did see where the next fedora may default to btrfs. so that is looking like the future. Theres been talk of ubuntu doing the same. but personally for my needs. I dont think it matters.
[16:10] <ingm> hmm i dont think that it finds the wireless card
[16:10] <rinkukokiri> Would anyone know why ubuntu won't allow me to passthrough a usb device to virtualbox install of win7?
[16:11] <theadmin> rinkukokiri: Do you have the Oracle extension pack installed?
[16:11] <dr_willis> rinkukokiri,  you need to use the vbox from their home page. not the version in the repos. and you need to configure it properly
[16:11] <dr_willis> Oh yea. the new vbox. just uses an expansion pack/extra plugin dosent it. :) i havent played with that.
[16:11] <ingm> has anyone got a minute to help with wireless
[16:11] <rinkukokiri> theadmin, yes i have the extension installed
[16:11] <trism> c
[16:11] <rcconf> theadmin: ppa:libreoffice/ppa is official right
[16:11] <trism> sorry that was for gdb not here
[16:12] <dr_willis> rinkukokiri,  what kind of wirless device are you trying to use?
[16:12] <theadmin> rcconf: Doubt it
[16:12] <Emmanuel_Chanel> ok. Seeing ja.wikipedia, it doesn't look one to install in a week but expectable.
[16:12] <dr_willis> !ppa
[16:12] <rcconf> https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa
[16:12] <dr_willis> im not sure there is such a thing as an 'official' ppa. :) dependrs on how you are defining Official i guess.
[16:12] <rcconf> dr_willis: from libreoffic developers
[16:12] <VOTProductions> Hello.
[16:13] <rcconf> hello
[16:13] <dr_willis> if  they say its their ppa. then its their ppa. :) not sure where 'official' comes into play.
[16:13] <rinkukokiri> dr_willis, theadmin see I'm trying to restore my samsung intercept [04E8:6601] to 2.1 then update OTW to froyo..
[16:13] <rinkukokiri> but the windows app swupgrade wont run in wine and i can't get it to work via virtualbox /win7 or winxp
[16:13] <Xpistos_home> I must be doing something wrong because I can't fsck a different drive
[16:13] <dr_willis> rinkukokiri,  flashing a phone via virtualbox. Not tried that.. the #android channel may be able to  help you do it under linux.
[16:13] <rinkukokiri> but it works in a native windows env
[16:13] <Xpistos_home> it says it is mounted but I know it is not
[16:13] <VOTProductions> ingm: Have you tried the linux-nonfree-firmware as I suggested?
[16:14] <rinkukokiri> dr_willis, they told me to google...
[16:14] <dr_willis> rinkukokiri,  and did you? :)
[16:14] <rinkukokiri> and i have been googling
[16:14] <rinkukokiri> all friggen day
[16:14] <dr_willis> A+ Heh.
[16:14] <dr_willis> I just have a small windows machine I use for my android-hacking/rooting/work.
[16:15] <dr_willis> Im not sure you can pass through just any usb device to virtialbox. theres may be some limitations.
[16:15] <ingm> can anyone help with wireless
[16:15] <dr_willis> ive only set up vbox to use usb flash drives. nothing more complex then that.
[16:15] <dr_willis> !wireless
[16:16] <dr_willis> Luckly for me and my laptops these days. wireless works out of the box. :)
[16:16] <VOTProductions> ingm: Did you read my message?
[16:16] <ingm> i have a laptop and it worked out of the box, not after 11.04
[16:16] <ingm> might have missed it
[16:17] <Xpistos_home> VOTProductions: I am not sure what to do with this "Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
[16:17] <Xpistos_home> Error reading block 1576104 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while getting next inode from scan.  Ignore error<y>? "
[16:17] <VOTProductions> Xpistos_home: This means your file system is failing BADLY!
[16:17] <VOTProductions> Xpistos_home: Backup and reformat.
[16:18] <ikonia> whoaaaa
[16:18] <ikonia> Xpistos_home: ignore that
[16:18] <ingm> well will try later
[16:18] <Xpistos_home> force rewrite?
[16:18] <VOTProductions> Xpistos_home: Ignore the error for now.
[16:18] <ikonia> Xpistos_home: no - don't ignore it
[16:18] <ikonia> VOTProductions: please stop talking
[16:19] <airyK> is anyone familar with Fog on ubuntu?
[16:19] <BluesKaj> what's the default Firefox for 11.04 ?
[16:19] <ikonia> Xpistos_home: what file system is this on (/ /home /var etc etc)
[16:19] <VOTProductions> ikonia: A data partition.
[16:19] <Xpistos_home> this is /
[16:19] <ikonia> VOTProductions: stop talking now -
[16:19] <xangua> !info firefox | BluesKaj
[16:19] <VOTProductions> Argh...
[16:19] <ikonia> Xpistos_home: ok - the first thing to do is an integrity check, do you have a livecd / boot cd
[16:20] <Xpistos_home> ikonia: I can get to a usb opti now and I have the drive yes
[16:20] <rcconf> there's no problem If I install libreoffice with openoffice already installed?
[16:21] <ikonia> Xpistos_home: boot from external media and run "fsck" against that device, don't panic if there are errors, just let them run through and lets see how bad it is
[16:21] <xangua> rcconf: yes, remove OO first
[16:21] <rcconf> xangua: eh so I need to remove
[16:21] <theadmin> rcconf: Yeah, it is a problem, they create same files
[16:21] <escott> Xpistos_home, and check the smart status of the drive
[16:21] <Xpistos_home> well, the drive I am running the check on now is different that I have booted too
[16:22] <Xpistos_home> I have mint and ubuntu in this box. The idea is I want to blow mint away and just have ubuntu
[16:22] <ikonia> Xpistos_home: perfect
[16:22] <BluesKaj> xangua,thanks
[16:23] <edbian> Xpistos_home: Have some love!
[16:23] <Xpistos_home> But the ubuntu install I am in now gives me an error about "serious errors while booting /data" /data is a data partion
[16:23] <Xpistos_home> but it is empty right now
[16:23] <Xpistos_home> mint is sda and ubuntu is sdb
[16:23] <edbian> Xpistos_home: Then who cares of there are errors?
[16:23] <Xpistos_home> I am on sdb right now
[16:24] <edbian> Xpistos_home: Use gparted.  Fix everything.
[16:24] <Xpistos_home> can I cancel out of this fsck for sda? it says force rewrite?
[16:24] <compdoc> Xpistos_home, ubuntu boots ok otherwise?
[16:25] <Xpistos_home> compdoc: the ubuntu install does yes
[16:26] <escott> Xpistos_home, be sure to check the smart status in case the drive is going bad go to disk utility select the drive and click smart data/view smart data

[16:26] <Xpistos_home> I ran that yesterday from disk utility and it said uknown?
[16:26] <Xpistos_home> and I ran the 1 hour test
[16:27] <Xpistos_home> Smart status: unknown
[16:27] <mrdeb> is it possible to make 1104 install on a smaller harddrive
[16:27] <VOT> Right...
[16:28] <VOT> I'll try my best not to go on the bad side.
[16:28] <Xpistos_home> okay I have to run but I will check back in about 20 mins. Baby is crying.
[16:28] <VOT> Ok...
[16:28] <VOT> Xpistos_home: Is this an older drive?
[16:28] <edbian> mrdeb: Smaller than what? (yes)
[16:29] <escott> Xpistos_home, if you can run the self test it should have smart, there should at least be attributes
[16:30] <mrdeb> edbian: it sys hard drvie hato be at leat something, but you dont need more than 2.5gb. so how do you force it to install to smaller
[16:30] <mrdeb> or it doesnt go forward
[16:31] <edbian> mrdeb: What size is it forcing you to have?
[16:31] <mrdeb> did you see the installer?
[16:31] <edbian> mrdeb:
[16:31] <mrdeb> it says 4.2 i think
[16:31] <mrdeb> i'm not sure
[16:31] <edbian> mrdeb: Did I see it?  I have seen it.  I've never seen it force a particular hdd size.
[16:31] <mrdeb> how do you make it go forward anyway
[16:32] <edbian> mrdeb: Well installing it on a hdd that is less than 4.2Gb free is not a good idea.  The root filesystem is likely to grow bigger than that.  Not to mention your personal files.
[16:32] <mrdeb> it wont
[16:32] <mrdeb> i keep it under 2gb
[16:32] <edbian> mrdeb: How big is this harddrive?
[16:33] <mrdeb> less than 4
[16:33] <mrdeb> i nee dto know how to make it install anyway
[16:33] <edbian> mrdeb: Perhaps you can use the USB creator.  Make a persistent image but instead of pointing it at a USB drive point it at the HDD.
[16:34] <perlsyntax> join javak
[16:34] <edbian> mrdeb: I've never seen the installer stop you so I can offer no advice on how to circumvent it.  (I think you're crazy for using a 4Gb hdd)  It must be so old it's about to fail anyway.
[16:34] <edbian> mrdeb: Try the USB creator idea though.
[16:35] <dr_willis> Im not sure you can do a full normal install to a 4gb hd. a live cd+persistant file. (small one) can work
[16:35] <dr_willis> Lubuntu might be able to fit on a 4gb flash in a normal install.
[16:35] <VOT> mrdeb: If you choose "USB Creator", you might get the annoying "Try/Install Ubuntu."
[16:36] <dr_willis> that try/install ubuntu option is removeable.. somehow..
[16:36] <dr_willis> Ive seen it done. but i forget what/where. some syslinux/kernel config option i think
[16:36] <HydroAssassin> Hello Everyone, I recently had an error regarding pango which made all my fonts mess up and my X to crash, Welll I was able to fix that but now i have a few of these. Anyone kno how to fix this? http://img825.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1ajv.png/
[16:37] <rinkukokiri> dr_willis, was trying to use this method... http://forum.sdx-developers.com/index.php?topic=10027.0
[16:37]  * edbian will look at any problem if there is a pretty picture
[16:37] <rinkukokiri> dr_willis, from linux
[16:37] <rinkukokiri> lol
[16:37] <VOT> HydroAssassin: There is a simple fix. Don't run as root.
[16:38] <dr_willis> Friends dont let friends run stuff as root. :)
[16:38] <HydroAssassin> Root is my only account its on this laptop just for Security Testing only has backtrack installed.
[16:38] <dr_willis> try makuing a new user account. see if it affects them
[16:38] <edbian> HydroAssassin: This isn't the support channel for backtrack
[16:39] <dr_willis> !info pango
[16:39] <oCean> HydroAssassin: this channel does not support backtrack
[16:39] <dr_willis> im not even sure what pango is.
[16:39] <HydroAssassin> i understand that but it is a ubuntu distro...
[16:39] <edbian> dr_willis: It does fonts in gtk+ apps
[16:39] <HydroAssassin> and backtrack has had no help
[16:39] <VOT> edbian: Probably he is using Ubuntu with backtrack tools.
[16:39] <oCean> HydroAssassin: no it is an unsupported derivative
[16:39] <mrdeb> VOT: what about plugging in a usb hard drive to make it proceed but stil install to hte small one, or will it stop you later also
[16:39] <mrdeb> ???
[16:39] <Psydoll> can someone tell me what kind of file format a .run is?
[16:39] <edbian> HydroAssassin: No.  It's based on Ubuntu.  It is not supported by Ubuntu
[16:39] <rinkukokiri> backtrack /= ubuntu
[16:39] <dr_willis> Backtrack has its own channel.
[16:39] <oCean> VOT: read what he says
[16:39] <usuario_> olaa
[16:39] <edbian> HydroAssassin: Are you using ubuntu with backtrack tools?
[16:39] <dr_willis> Psydoll,  it could be anything. a binary executable, to a shell script. or some other scripting language.
[16:40] <rinkukokiri> backtrack is a LINUX distro    HydroAssassin  fixed.
[16:40] <VOT> mrdeb: Well...
[16:40] <escott> Psydoll, likely some kind of bash script. maybe an elf or a.out executable
[16:40] <dr_willis> Psydoll,  chmod +x  thething     then ./thething
[16:40] <usuario_> ajajajjaajaj teeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiero
[16:40] <Psydoll> dr_willis: How do I install it it?
[16:40] <dr_willis> Psydoll,  if you trust it.
[16:40] <edbian> get the cat off the keyboard
[16:40] <dr_willis> Psydoll,  you run it. :)
[16:40] <VOT> mrdeb: If you install that way, you get the 4.4GB way.
[16:40] <usuario_> eeeeeeeeeeea
[16:40] <dr_willis> Psydoll,  what is this .run anyway?
[16:40] <oCean> usuario_: stop that
[16:40] <ImDexter> i want to establish as default 5 opened tabs insted of just one when I access my home folder, can that be done?
[16:40] <usuario_> la puuta ainooooa i la putaaa mooniicaa
[16:40] <usuario_> ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssoooooooooooooon hiijjaaspeetuuppaa
[16:40] <Psydoll> yes but how do i run it? right click and select instal or something, Its Teamspeak
[16:41] <dr_willis> Psydoll,  you make it executable. then run it.
[16:41] <VOT> usuario_: Stop spamming please.
[16:41] <dr_willis> Psydoll,  chmod +x  thething     then ./thething    <------------------------
[16:41] <theadmin> !fi | Usuke
[16:41] <theadmin> Oops
[16:41] <VOT> ?
[16:41] <theadmin> Okay, sorry
[16:41] <mrdeb> VOT: the grayed out box that wont let oyu go forward?
[16:42] <edbian> ImDexter: What happens if you run.  nautilus / /home /mnt     does it open tabs or windows?
[16:42] <Psydoll> dr_willis: the chmod changes the file editing rights read write etc, the ./thething is a directory made by the cdmod?
[16:42] <Psydoll> in side there will there then be a .deb?
[16:42] <VOT> mrdeb: Yes, if you install from a USB, it counts as a CD install.
[16:42] <theadmin> Psydoll: No, ./ lets you execute a file inside the current directory, that's it
[16:42] <ImDexter> edbian,   .  nautilus / /home /mnt in a terminal? what about the initial dot?
[16:42] <escott> Psydoll, he is saying "its a run file because they intend you to run it. make it executable with chmod +x and then run it with ./filename.run"
[16:42] <Psydoll> ah sorry i was thinking of cd ./thefolder/
[16:43] <mrdeb> VOT: so it will stop from going forward?
[16:43] <VOT> mrdeb: I'm afraid, yes.
[16:43] <denaild> whats a good ftp client that supports tls and ssl
[16:43] <edbian> ImDexter: that was a misplaced period.  The command I am interested in is this:  nautilus / /home /var      (It should open all those locations in nautilus)
[16:43] <VOT> mrdeb: Can you use the alternative image?
[16:43] <VOT> denaild: FileZilla
[16:43] <Psydoll> ok dr_willis thank you for your help
[16:44] <denaild> alright thx
[16:44] <mrdeb> VOT: i tried by it failed
[16:44] <VOT> mrdeb: Any error messages?
[16:44] <ImDexter> edbian, different windows
[16:44] <vsshva> can someone recommend
[16:45] <edbian> ImDexter: I was afraid of that.  I don't think there is a way.  There is an option in the preferences to have very folder you click on open in a new windows
[16:45] <vsshva> me music player similar to winamp on windows for ubuntu
[16:45] <vsshva> ?
[16:45] <escott> vsshva, xmms
[16:45] <vsshva> escott: is it still being developed?
[16:46] <ImDexter> thanks edbina, ill move the topic to develope
[16:46] <ImDexter> edbian thanks
[16:46] <VOT> mrdeb: Try the USB creator (as in install to Hard Disk). But you will have to press "Try Ubuntu" every boot up.
[16:46] <edbian> ImDexter: I don't see anything in the man page about it.  You should make an Ubuntu Idea!http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/
[16:46] <edbian> ImDexter: sure
[16:46] <dr_willis> Psydoll,  you make the FILE executable.  then you run it by typing in its name. :) or double click.. but some apps are text/console only. thus the use of ./thefilename
[16:47] <dr_willis> !xmms
[16:47] <dr_willis> xmms is basically dead. theres similer ones.
[16:47] <edbian> ImDexter: http://blogs.gnome.org/cneumair/2008/05/26/i-need-a-helping-hand-make-nautilus-tabs-a-joy-for-users/
[16:48] <VOT> Psydoll: You can right click the file, choose Properties, Permission tab and check "Is Executable"
[16:49] <vsshva> escott: xmms 2
[16:49] <vsshva> is better
[16:49] <vsshva> :)
[16:49] <vsshva> anyway thnx
[16:50] <pspeter3> does anyone know how to convert textmate themes to gedit?
[16:50] <alvinPH> dr_willis: how are you doc?

[16:52] <VOT> Hello [user]
[16:52] <MasterRoot> Hi, I'm trying to run zerofree on my hdd and I need to mount / as read only, but I get mount: / is busy
[16:52] <mobius420> greetings ;]
[16:52] <MasterRoot> I am using mount -o remount,ro -t ext4 /dev/sda1 / from recovery mode
[16:53] <BluesKaj> MasterRoot, what's zerofree, a partition editor ?
[16:53] <MasterRoot> any suggestions how I can mount R/O?
[16:53] <CarlFK> MasterRoot: my guess is you need to mount the partition somewhere else
[16:54] <MasterRoot> BluesKaj: it zero's out free space on a hdd
[16:54] <ZykoticK9> MasterRoot, you'd need to mount read only BEFORE you start using / --- so as a kernel/fstab type change, so it' mounted readonly to begin with.  Sorry I don't specifically know how you could do that.
[16:54] <Xpistos_home> back
[16:54] <PiX3L> PLease help me.. Here is the black screen I get at boot up >>>

[16:54] <sw0rdfish> hey guys.....can we update firefox into version 4 in 10.10
[16:54] <sw0rdfish> ?
[16:54] <mrdeb> i guess i will stick to gnome 3 if i cannot install 1104
[16:54] <dr_willis> !ff4
[16:54] <MasterRoot> BluesKaj: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/zerofree
[16:55] <JohnSS_> Why is my /sbin/init ALWAYS running on my htop? It has always been there the past 2 days, but not before.  Why is that?
[16:55] <Omega> !firefox4
[16:55] <dr_willis> MasterRoot,  when i 'zero' out a hd. using dd,  i dont need to mount it first.. how does zerofree differ ?
[16:56] <MasterRoot> hmm, this page doesn't seem to specify I need to do anything like that :-( : http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/zerofree.8.html
[16:56] <ZykoticK9> JohnSS_, init is the "parent" of all processes under gnu/linux
[16:56] <CarlFK> dr_willis: it only z's out unused space
[16:56] <escott> PiX3L, what is the output of mount
[16:56] <JohnSS_> Yes, but it is usually not at the top of my htop and now all of a sudden it is
[16:56] <CarlFK> MasterRoot: are you running this in/on a VM image file?
[16:56] <MasterRoot> dr_willis: I don;t specifically need to mount it, i just need to it to not be mounted in write mode, if that makes sense?
[16:56] <PiX3L> escott, No mount command is available there
[16:57] <MasterRoot> CarlFK: yes, under VMware
[16:57] <mykal> ok, updated this machine to 11.04, now no video. audio is fine, no video. where should i start looking
[16:57] <dr_willis> MasterRoot,  Ok.  You NEED to remounte it read only.. i was geting that backwards..  thought you had it read only and wanted it R/W
[16:58] <BluesKaj> dr_willis, zerofre supposedly much faster at filling the zeros in the blocks than dd , according to synaptic
[16:58] <CarlFK> MasterRoot:  I have a feeling you want to mount it in the host OS
[16:58] <escott> PiX3L, ok, busybox should have some kind of mount. but see if /boot (or /) is mounted and check /boot/grub/grub.cfg to see if it specifies an init
[16:58] <MasterRoot> dr_willis: yes, sorry, my bad
[16:58] <dr_willis> I dont see what you gain by using zerofree on a real hard drive.. vs a hd image file..
[16:58] <mykal> VLC plays sound no worries but shows a black screen
[16:58] <CarlFK> BluesKaj: MasterRoot - it doesn't wipe data.
[16:58] <PiX3L> escott, Ok. If it don't, then what should I do?
[16:59] <dr_willis> mykal,  vlc has differnt 'video out' drivers you could try. check its settings.
[16:59] <BluesKaj> CarlFK, only the frespace , yeah
[16:59] <MasterRoot> CarlFK: I know, just wipes freespace, allowing the VMDK image to be compressed
[16:59] <CarlFK> MasterRoot: er, that was ment to dr_willis.. who was asking how it differs from dd..
[17:00] <FloridaGuy> for photo editing under linux is there anything better then gimp ?
[17:00] <ikonia> FloridaGuy: gimp is seen as the strongest, although it can be quite complex
[17:01] <dr_willis> FloridaGuy,  depends on what sort of editing you are doing.
[17:01] <MasterRoot> how would one normally remount / as read-only from rea-write, and vice versa?
[17:01] <oCean> MasterRoot: sudo mount -o remount,rw /
[17:01] <sw0rdfish> !ppa
[17:01] <CarlFK> MasterRoot: you don't mount / - / is a "mount point" - you mount sda1 somewhere.  mount it under /mnt/sda1
[17:02] <enthus> hi
[17:02] <FloridaGuy> dr_willis: wanna clean some photo's up a little focus them better
[17:02] <oCean> CarlFK: but your / root filesystem needs to get mounted right, so you *do* mount /
[17:02] <sw0rdfish> how to add ppa's?
[17:02] <CarlFK> oCean: "mount something somewhere" / is the somewhere.
[17:03] <oCean> CarlFK: sure, but the filesystem containing the data on / is called rootfilesystem or root. So it is very normal to call it mount root
[17:03] <CarlFK> oCean: I think MasterRoot is getting tripped up trying to mount a partiton on the same mount point it is normally mounted on, but for the zerro thing it doesn't matter
[17:04] <CarlFK> oCean: if you say so.  in this case it is wrong and causing confusion.
[17:04] <MasterRoot> hmm, tried to mount it under /temp as R/O and I get "mount: can't find /temp in /etc/fstab"
[17:05] <CarlFK> MasterRoot: what was your mount command?
[17:05] <escott> MasterRoot, are you not root?
[17:05] <S2X> hello all
[17:05] <Kjartan> I am having a problem installing ubuntu on my laptop, i am using universal usb installer to make an usb pen. But whenever I try to run live linux or install the machine shuts down. I have no idea why because I cannot see the error. But it seems to always be at the same place. Any help would be highly appreciated.
[17:05] <enthus> hi i am new to ubuntu.
[17:06] <dr_willis> CarlFK,  i dont think you would want it mounted to 2 differnt places however.
[17:06] <enthus> i have one problem regarding gprs dialup connection set up. is there any one to help me ?
[17:06] <CarlFK> dr_willis: where are the 2 places you think it will be mounted ?
[17:07] <MasterRoot> CarlFK: sudo mount -o remount,ro /temp
[17:07] <milind> hi guys, i was wondering if you could help me with something. I am running ubuntu on virtual box, and started working on a lot of my projects there. But lately it has been running kind of slow. It shows i have just 2 gigs remaining in virtual harddisk available. I am not sure if that is the problem but can u give me some tips to optimize performance of ubuntu in virtual box
[17:07] <dr_willis> CarlFK,  if he mounted it read only to say..  /work and kept it r/w to  /     well.. I thimnk the whole point of the read only limiation is to Keep it from changeing it as its being zeroed.
[17:07] <CarlFK> MasterRoot: you left out what you are mounting: mount something somewhere
[17:07] <MasterRoot> dr_willis: I couldn't agree more! I think were barking up the wrong tree
[17:07] <dr_willis> I would suggest useing a live cd. and doing it that way.
[17:08] <CarlFK> dr_willis: I don't think he needs it mounted under /
[17:08] <ikonia> milind: seperate the guest from the host, eg: look at them as two seperate entities, is the host performing ok, then if it is, you know the problem is between the host and the guest and you can narrow the tuning down
[17:08] <sw0rdfish> !addppa
[17:08] <sw0rdfish> !addingppa
[17:08] <MasterRoot> CarlFK: I know, I just tried "sudo mount -o remount,ro -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /temp" and got "mount: /temp not mounted already, or bad option"
[17:08] <Guest86618> ?
[17:08] <milind> ikonia, what do you mean by guest...do u mean guest additions?
[17:09] <oCean> sw0rdfish: /msg ubottu !search ppa
[17:09] <milind> ikonia, and by host do u mean the mac osx that i am running ubuntu on?
[17:09] <escott> MasterRoot, so its not mounted or its not ext4
[17:09] <vsshva> please recommend me good music player for ubuntu, thank you
[17:10] <milind> vsshva, rhytmbox?
[17:10] <vsshva> no its not good
[17:10] <ferretWarren> im lookin ford intel graphic drivers for ubuntu
[17:10] <ferretWarren> i found one but
[17:10] <ferretWarren> it was bug in it
[17:10] <Snake007> Hi guys
[17:10] <MasterRoot> CarlFK: I don't need it mounted at all, but I must have to have at least R/O access to the files on the filesystem to actually be running Ubuntu on it, i guess
[17:10] <CarlFK> MasterRoot: I just booted into rescue and sda1 is mounted on / rw -
[17:10] <vsshva> milind: something like xmms similar well something like this xmms
[17:10] <MasterRoot> escott: it is mounted and it is EXT4
[17:10] <ferretWarren> maybe
[17:10] <Snake007> can I add a graphic driver to my Nvidia card that came with my Mac OsX
[17:11] <ferretWarren> i look for Intel card
[17:11] <ferretWarren> drivers
[17:11] <MasterRoot> CarlFK: yes, exactly what I get, but I need R/O for to be able to zero free space
[17:11] <thruxton> hi, in ubuntu 11.4 if I add or remove icons from the unity launcher they do not remain there after logout/reboot, I always get the default stuff instead, how do i fix this?
[17:11] <CarlFK> MasterRoot: if you want access to the files, then you need it mounted.  but thinking aout the Z util, I bet it doesn't accesso the files
[17:11] <CarlFK> MasterRoot: where are docs for this thing?
[17:11] <dr_willis> the zerofill tool says it does not have to be mounted
[17:12] <CarlFK> dr_willis: lol.  well done. :)
[17:12] <NanetteE> Hi, when I start my computer it says my /storage drive is not ready if I tell it to skip it it shows /storage as 12gb, but when I mount -a it shows it as 100gb which it should be. whay doesn't it auto mount? How can I fix it? I don't want to have ask my husband because he thinks I am dumb!
[17:12] <Snake007> Can I add a graphic card driver to my Nvidia
[17:12] <dr_willis> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/zerofree.8.html
[17:12] <vsshva> ubuntu 11.04 is little bugy
[17:12] <MasterRoot> CarlFK: no, but Ubuntu must need at least /R/O to actually read to binary for zerofree to run?...
[17:12] <vsshva> try to fix problems with graphics
[17:12] <dr_willis>   filesystem  has  to  be  unmounted or mounted read-only for zerofree to work.
[17:12] <nexace> does anyone know how to use ptunnel?
[17:12] <vsshva> because i have very strong latop
[17:13] <compdoc> NanetteE, do you have two hard drives?
[17:13] <MasterRoot> CarlFK: most reliable documentation is http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man8/zerofree.8.html
[17:13] <vsshva> and sometimes ubuntu does some things i can understand
[17:13] <CarlFK> MasterRoot:  root (the user) can write to the device (/dev/sda1)
[17:13] <vsshva> :)
[17:13] <escott> NanetteE, could be a race condition where it is trying to mount it too soon and the drive isnt available on the sata bus
[17:13] <l3> Hi All: I have a broadcom wireless card in my laptop, and while I can connect to the wireless network, its slow, flaky, and unreliable.  Countless other machines are connected to the Access Point and are doing just fine.  Where do I begin to diagnose?
[17:13] <dr_willis> !broadcom'
[17:13] <dr_willis> !broadcom
[17:13] <NanetteE> compdoc: no just split up into partitions in case something happens (/boot, /, /home, and /storage
[17:13] <MasterRoot> CarlFK:  yes, but cannot zero free space IF the partition is mounted RW
[17:13] <Snake007> Hi guys!!!
[17:13] <CarlFK> MasterRoot: and actually, it is everthing but the files it needs write access to. mounting the filesystem only gives you write access to the files
[17:14] <Snake007> I want to know something about graphic drivers!!
[17:14] <compdoc> NanetteE, then / must be 12G ?
[17:14] <hensputra> how to backup configuration in ubuntu 10.04
[17:14] <nexace> ptunnel anyone?
[17:14] <CarlFK> MasterRoot: so mounting isn't the problem, you want to umount it.  or just not mount it in the first place.  Live CD is prolly your easy way.  or a 2nd vmware VM, attach your image as sdb1
[17:14] <NanetteE> compdoc: yes. /boot = 300 mb, / and /home are both 12 gb and /storage is 100+gb
[17:15] <MasterRoot> CarlFK: yes, I'll  just use a LiveCD I guess
[17:15] <CarlFK> MasterRoot: or figure out how to mount the image in your host OS.  I am pretty sure there are vmware utils to do that in linux.
[17:16] <CarlFK> MasterRoot: remember: the image file is a virtual hard disk, not a cpu/memory/machine
[17:16] <NanetteE> compdoc: should I tell it to wait on boot? but how long should I wait?
[17:16] <compdoc> NanetteE, could you paste your fstab into pastebin.com  ?
[17:16] <NanetteE> sure
[17:16] <MasterRoot> CarlFK: would you agree the man page is a little misleading though?
[17:16] <NanetteE> I haven't mount -a yet
[17:16] <MasterRoot> CarlFK: I understand that, thanks.
[17:16] <compdoc> thats ok
[17:16] <dr_willis> yiou could just get a ISO and boot that in vmware and then run the tool from the  virtual iso-live  system
[17:17] <escott> dr_willis, that wouldn't work as the underlying host fs would still be active
[17:17] <CarlFK> MasterRoot: yeah, the docs try to be helpful, and in this case it isn't helping.
[17:18] <MasterRoot> dr_willis: that's what I'll do, I was just being lazy! :-(
[17:18] <ubuntu__> hi
[17:18] <dr_willis> escott,  but the vdk file wouldent be getting accessed by the host os.. unless  the vm is doing it.
[17:18] <NanetteE> http://pastebin.com/6x9hR6un
[17:18] <dr_willis> I thouight  vbox and vmware both sort of did the zerofill stuff automatically
[17:19] <dr_willis> or they had similer features to help shrink the virtual hd image sized
[17:19] <escott> dr_willis, the host os operates the vdk on behalf of the guest vm. the host vdk is still active on the fs, and the host os is still running and doing its thing
[17:19] <MasterRoot> dr_willis: they can, yes, provided that there is no data at the end of the VMDK (in my case there is)
[17:20] <NanetteE> compdoc: does that help any?
[17:20] <MasterRoot> hence why I need to zero the free space, to allow VMware to compact/compress the image
[17:20] <compdoc> NanetteE, lots of entries - having to sort thru it
[17:21] <MasterRoot> However, we digress.
[17:21] <MasterRoot> Thanks for you time guys, it's really appreciated!
[17:21] <mad2> hey guys is anyone else having problems with laptops hard restarting on suspend resume?
[17:21] <dr_willis> I wouldent be suprised if vmware dident have its own zerofill type tool to handle the vdk files
[17:21] <NanetteE> lol. My husband has a lot of stuff.
[17:21] <compdoc> NanetteE, could you pastebin.com the results of: sudo fdisk -l
[17:22] <compdoc> NanetteE, could you pastebin.com the results of: sudo blkid
[17:22] <escott> dr_willis, nevermind now i understand what you are saying use the iso live cd to manipulate the vdk image. thats fine. i thought you were suggesting using the iso live cd to manipulate the host drive
[17:22] <NanetteE> yes
[17:22] <Tesseract> hello
[17:22] <Tesseract> 12:16 < Tesseract> I'm looking for help with a sound issue on my imac's ubuntu  partition
[17:22] <Tesseract> 12:18 < Tesseract> it sounds like out of a cheap radio. I checked on forums,  did some things with alsa, managed to have my crappy sound  in stereo... but still crappy
[17:22] <FloodBot1> Tesseract: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:22] <jtiss546> hello
[17:22] <Tesseract> oh, sorry
[17:23] <dr_willis> escott,  i dont see why  booting a live cd in the vm wouldent work either..
[17:23] <jtiss546> I'm impressed, I didn't expect this many ppl interested in Ubuntu.
[17:23] <NanetteE> compdoc: http://pastebin.com/gJCekgzT
[17:23] <NanetteE> that is both
[17:24] <dr_willis> jtiss546,  its actualluy a slow day in here.
[17:24] <BluesKaj> Tesseract, remove pulseaudio
[17:24] <jtiss546> my son sent me here, he has a bachelor's in IT, and he wanted me to try it.
[17:24] <Tesseract> I was just lazy... so er, I have a sound issue with my imac's ubuntu partition, I was wondering if someone here could help
[17:24] <compdoc> NanetteE, looks like you actually have three hard drives
[17:25] <NanetteE> he might, I am not totally sue
[17:25] <escott> dr_willis, what you are saying should be safe, he could boot an iso within the vm and use zerofill. the question would be if the virtualbox would properly notice the zeroed pages and add them to the sparse list
[17:25] <NanetteE> All I know is sdb is ubuntu
[17:25] <bazu> i install fglrx driver on 11.04 but nothink is smooth
[17:25] <NanetteE> and when I start the computer it runs ubuntu
[17:25] <bazu> i install and compiz
[17:26] <dr_willis> escott,  yep. and vbox may do it differntly then vmware.. but the zerofill docs sort of imply he could mount the disk image  and some how zerifill on that.. if it was a raw image perahaps.
[17:26] <jtiss546> 1546 users, and it's a slow day? wow.
[17:26] <dr_willis> jtiss546,  ive seen 3000 in here.. perhaps more. On release day
[17:27] <doc^donkey> Hello Great computer people of Ubuntu, i come to seek great advice from your infinite knowledge.
[17:27] <doc^donkey>  i want to take a .DXF or .DWF (cad drawing) and turn it into a full size .pdf so i can print full size plans of the sides of my next wood working project.
[17:27] <jtiss546> that's a lot of ppl, my friend.
[17:27] <escott> dr_willis, and the virtual /dev/sda1 in the vm is "raw" from the vm's perspective, so i that should work
[17:27] <NanetteE> compdoc: be right back
[17:27] <Tesseract> hm... seems like everyone is rather busy
[17:27] <Xcytre> I'm trying to get SSI to work... I've tried two ways shown here http://paste.ubuntu.com/624439/  but... nothing is showing up where the included html should be.
[17:28] <dr_willis> Tesseract,  you check the askubuntu.com site yet?
[17:28] <mad2> any ideas to stop restarting on suspend resume?
[17:28] <dr_willis> Tesseract,  i dont own a imac. and rarely have sound issues. :) so cant really help
[17:28] <Tesseract> yes, I did a lot of searching, managed to get it stereo, but still crappy
[17:28] <NanetteE> back.
[17:28] <jtiss546> have to leave for now, I have another hd to install, thanks for the welcome, will come back soon.
[17:29] <archana8763> Hi. If I use Multicd script to have Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit, 32 bit and then linux mint 64 bit together, will I be able to Install the distros- or will it just allow me to use live sessions of these distros?
[17:29] <Tesseract> just checked, I went on a lot of sites but not specifically askubuntu
[17:29] <MasterRoot> zerofree seems to be working a treat from a liveCD, as would be expected
[17:29] <NanetteE> compdoc: back
[17:29] <dr_willis> archana8763,  the live sessions normally have an install icon.  so you can install each one if you wanted
[17:29] <Tesseract> ill try there, I understand it is a quite specific problem
[17:30] <Tesseract> thanks
[17:30] <dr_willis> Tesseract,  its a new site :)
[17:30] <Tesseract> oh, that explains
[17:30] <dr_willis> just been out a few months.
[17:30] <Tesseract> cool, i/
[17:30] <Tesseract> ill post my question there
[17:30] <Tesseract> thanks a lot, have a nice day
[17:30] <archana8763> dr_willis, Ok. Thanks.
[17:30] <dr_willis> use the search feature furst > :)  then post..
[17:31] <Tesseract> of course
[17:31] <dr_willis> askubuntu is starting to get a  lot of ratehr pointless questions ive seen. :) I can browse it from my android phone.
[17:31] <C0NGR355> i am in ubuntu 11.04 with uniny 3d. i don't see the cursor in terminal. why?
[17:31] <compdoc> NanetteE, oh, thought you had left
[17:32] <compdoc> NanetteE, does that machine boot other OSes?
[17:32] <NanetteE> linux mint maybe?
[17:32] <compdoc> I mean do you dual boot, like windows, as well as ubuntu
[17:33] <compdoc> guess not
[17:34] <NanetteE> compdoc: no
[17:34] <NanetteE> my husband has to do something in the Bio to boot something else
[17:34] <NanetteE> maybe switch the network card or something
[17:37] <compdoc> NanetteE, /dev/sdb is a 160.0GB drive and is what you are booting from and it has a swap file. /dev/sda is an 80.0 GB drive, and it also has a swap file, and all those partitions you see - so it has a linux OS loaded there too
[17:38] <compdoc> not that it matters - just trying to keep this straight
[17:39] <compdoc> and /dev/sdc is a 2000.4 GB drive (2 terabyte)
[17:41] <NanetteE> oh yeah that is right. he said it didn't work in the server
[17:42] <compdoc> NanetteE, I dont see where /storage ever gets mounted
[17:42] <compdoc> theres a /data
[17:42] <compdoc> is that it?
[17:43] <lapion> 2Tb drives usually use 4mb sectors, and the bios might not support it..
[17:43] <lapion> however linux does support it.. from a certain distro..
[17:46] <NanetteE> compdoc: sorry data
[17:46] <NanetteE> that is right
[17:48] <Pupeno> Can I install XFCE and log into it easily?
[17:48] <compdoc> NanetteE, I think your fstab is hosed
[17:49] <ZykoticK9> Pupeno, sure, install the xfce-desktop (not sure about that package name) and then choose XFCE at the GDM login
[17:49] <ZykoticK9> Pupeno, might be xubuntu-desktop perhaps?
[17:49] <NanetteE> any ideas on how I can fix it?
[17:50] <escott> NanetteE, the drive does get mounted when you do mount -a right?
[17:50] <philinux> Pupeno: heres a nice how to http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/xfce
[17:50] <Pupeno> so, gdm will show the option... ok.
[17:50] <NanetteE> yes
[17:50] <NanetteE> escott: yes
[17:51] <HydroAssassin> Hello Everyone, I recently had an error regarding pango which made all my fonts mess up and my X to crash, Welll I was able to fix that but now i have a few of these. Anyone kno how to fix this? http://img825.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1ajv.png/
[17:51] <escott> NanetteE, and its the 2gb drive that isn't coming up
[17:51] <escott> NanetteE, rather 2TB
[17:51] <NanetteE> no, the 100gb drive
[17:51] <mark__> ls
[17:51] <compdoc> NanetteE, it can be fixed
[17:51] <mark__> hi
[17:51] <mark__> hello
[17:51] <mark__> anyone here?
[17:52] <disposable> when i try to mount a nfs v3 share (rw,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash) from a freshly installed natty (with -o users,auto,vers=3), all i get is "rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking". when i try to start stat.d, i get "Warning: Fake initctl called, doing nothing". statd isn't running and can't be started, setting "NEED_STATD=yes" in /etc/default/nfs-common does not start it either when i try to mount. mounting with "-o nolock" wo
[17:53] <ZykoticK9> disposable, do you have portmap installed?
[17:54] <disposable> ZykoticK9: yes, it was a dependency
[17:54] <ZykoticK9> disposable, ok, just checking
[17:56] <compdoc> NanetteE, give me a few mins - Im writing a new fstab for you
[17:58] <mjf_> join #pylons
[17:59] <domedagen> Hi
[17:59] <berefeira> anyone switch back to meerkat after using natty?
[18:00] <r3m> Hi all, my ubuntu box freeze maybe 2-3 time month. i can't even go to console with ctrl+alt+fkey.
[18:00] <rinkukokiri> berefeira, thinking about it...
[18:00] <rinkukokiri> berefeira, lot of things broke with natty on my machine
[18:01] <domedagen> I accidentally followed this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=749793 to install projectM and I cant start projectM now so I want to uninstall it again
[18:01] <berefeira> rinkukokiri: interface just reset itself on me, dock everything
[18:01] <domedagen> How do I uninstall a svn program
[18:02] <NanetteE> compdoc: ok
[18:02] <rinkukokiri> berefeira,  i don't use the unity interface, i find it buggy, with too much overhead and a waste of space.  I login to the ubuntu classic session.
[18:02] <erpingham> r3m, is there any specific application that causes it to crash? I have experiences freezes in the past using when running a 3d game full-screen.
[18:02] <VCoolio> domedagen: in the folder where you did 'sudo make install' now do 'sudo make uninstall'
[18:02] <erpingham> experienced
[18:03] <berefeira> rinkukokiri: i might have to try that, does the system reset itself on a whim?
[18:03] <compdoc> NanetteE, the UUID number is wrong for /data, which I think is the main problem
[18:03] <compdoc> they dont match
[18:03] <r3m> erpingham: generally it never happend when im in front of the computer. the only thing that run is irssi and screen
[18:03] <PCdoc> :-o compdoc stole my name :( chose similar name
[18:03] <rinkukokiri> berefeira, i do find compiz crashes a lot, i'm not quite sure what you mean by "system reset itself"
[18:03] <domedagen> vCoolio This gives me an error msg
[18:03] <domedagen> VCoolio: Ill post it here
[18:03] <erpingham> r3m, okay. I guess the only think I can say then is Ctrl-Alt-Del is a safe way to initiate a reboot
[18:04] <VCoolio> domedagen: wasn't there an error earlier on in the process then?
[18:04] <NanetteE> compdoc: it was /dev/sdb5 but that wasn't working either
[18:04] <VCoolio> !paste | domedagen
[18:04] <BluesKaj> domedagen, it's not a svn program as such , but got to the folder that contains it , right click and choose actions , open terminal , then. make uninstall
[18:04] <berefeira> rinkukokiri: yes, thats what i was referring to, its so random
[18:04] <r3m> erpingham: thanks!
[18:04] <erpingham> r3m, if that doesn't work, then hold down left Alt + print screen, while typing r e i s u b
[18:04] <perlsyntax> Does anyone use the linux-wlan-ng and how to i get it to work?
[18:04] <perlsyntax> :) i hope someone can help me:D
[18:05] <r3m> erpingham: r e i s u b?
[18:05] <erpingham> r3m: I have had situations where Ctrl-Alt-Del won't work but the r e i s u b one does work.
[18:05] <escott> !sysrq | r3m
[18:05] <touchpadlock> anyone know how to lock the touchpad during typing in ubuntu 11.04?
[18:05] <r3m> erpingham: thanks
[18:05] <omex> good evening all
[18:05] <domedagen> no rule to make target 'uninstall'
[18:05] <r3m> thanks guys!
[18:05] <rinkukokiri> berefeira, i made a shortcut on my gnome-panel to 'compiz --replace' on both workspaces ( i have dual monitors) so when it happens i can just reload it.. although usually i get a total ui change... like it goes from nice to old and grey.. a login is the only thing to correct that.
[18:05] <escott> touchpadlock, see if there is a preference in the mouse settings
[18:05] <erpingham> escott: thanks
[18:05] <perlsyntax> Does anyone know how to work linux-wlan-ng and is there a link i can look at??
[18:05] <domedagen> VCoolio: and BluesKaj
[18:05] <touchpadlock> escott: its not
[18:06] <compdoc> is it mounted in /home/nanette/Data ?  or in /data  ?
[18:06] <compdoc> NanetteE  ^^
[18:06] <perlsyntax> hello there?
[18:06] <berefeira> rinkukokiri: hmm, might have to try this...glad to know i'm not the only frustrated one ;) cheers! pesto is ready, laters
[18:06] <NanetteE> well /data is the drive from the install
[18:06] <domedagen> VCoolio: and BluesKaj  that was sudo make uninstall
[18:06] <NanetteE> and /home/nanette/Data is in my home folder
[18:06] <compdoc> but when you mount it, where do you go? to /data?
[18:06] <CKTate> running into a problem where after installing the latest nvidia driver and running "nvidia-xconfig" the computer will not get past the load splash screen. anyone have any suggestions?
[18:06] <perlsyntax> look like i tALKING TO MYSELF.
[18:07] <NanetteE> /home/nanette/Data
[18:07] <touchpadlock> !question | perlsyntax
[18:07] <BluesKaj> domedagen, uhmm yeah
[18:07] <rinkukokiri> touchpadlock, he did ask his question
[18:08] <NanetteE> should I change that so it just mounts to /home/nanette/Data?
[18:08] <touchpadlock> riokukokiri: "if anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply"
[18:08] <rinkukokiri> touchpadlock, !repeat would have been a better bangout
[18:08] <klown> except it wasnt repeated :P
[18:08] <klown> just impatient.
[18:09] <rinkukokiri> well then they need to make an !impatient
[18:09] <rinkukokiri> lol
[18:09] <klown> i agree.
[18:09] <thruxton> hi, in ubuntu 11.4 if I add or remove icons from the unity launcher they do not remain there after logout/reboot, I always get the default stuff instead, how do i fix this?
[18:09] <r3m> erpingham: I really appreciate your help! thanks again
[18:09] <compdoc> NanetteE, could you open /data and see whats in there?
[18:09] <erpingham> r3m: you're welcome
[18:09] <NanetteE> there is nothing in there right now
[18:10] <NanetteE> but it says 10.2 gb free?
[18:10] <CKTate> running into a problem where after installing the latest nvidia driver and running "nvidia-xconfig" the computer will not get past the load splash screen. anyone have any suggestions?
[18:10] <NanetteE> compdoc: and /home/nanette/Data says 110.3 GB?
[18:10] <rinkukokiri> here's my ubuntu question:   how many users want unity as their primary desktop.    I ask this because it is a direct quote from UDS apparently..
[18:11] <compdoc> so its mounted then
[18:11] <rinkukokiri> because I don't and i'm an ubuntu user
[18:11] <klown> CKTate, I was having a similar issue, try starting in commandline, and running startx, and see if it gives you an error about your nvidia driver version and your kernel version not matching
[18:11] <NanetteE> compdoc: that is because I told it to mount 0a
[18:11] <NanetteE> or -a
[18:11] <compdoc> ok
[18:11] <domedagen> BluesKaj: What do you recommend?
[18:11] <domedagen> BluesKaj: Manually remove files?
[18:12] <NanetteE> let me take out the first part and then reboot and see what I get. I will be right back compdoc
[18:12] <touchpadlock> anyone know how to lock the touchpad during typing in ubuntu 11.04?
[18:13] <ZykoticK9> !patience | rinkukokiri kloeri
[18:13] <klown> very nice.
[18:13] <ZykoticK9> sorry kloeri, was meant for klown
[18:13] <klown> did you just add that?
[18:14] <ZykoticK9> klown, no
[18:14] <rinkukokiri> ZykoticK9, huh?
[18:14] <rinkukokiri> ZykoticK9, what's that about?
[18:14] <klown> rinkukokiri, we were discussing it earlier
[18:14] <klown> he was showing us the command exists.
[18:14] <rinkukokiri> aah
[18:14] <rinkukokiri> yes that is right :D
[18:14] <ZykoticK9> rinkukokiri, you asked for a !impatent factoid - i though i gave you one ;)
[18:14] <rinkukokiri> ty ZykoticK9
[18:15] <domedagen> BluesKaj: ?
[18:15] <klown> how do u get a list of factoids btw?
[18:15] <rinkukokiri> !factoids | klown
[18:15] <klown> ty
[18:16] <rinkukokiri> np :D
[18:16] <lucas-arg> OK! Ubuntu fail me again... When Im trying to boot... my laptop stops bootin and caps locks stays blinking... I had to reboot 4 times to login... Its ubuntu 11.04 and HP Pavilion DV6, how do i solve this stupid bug?
[18:18] <touchpadlock> lucas-arg: sounds like hardware failure
[18:18] <touchpadlock> anyone know how to lock the touchpad during typing in ubuntu 11.04?
[18:18] <DriesVD> Rather unlikely that there'd be a bug in the booting procedure...probably a hardware flaw?
[18:19] <lucas-arg> touchpadlock: hardware works great... in windows i have no problem at all
[18:19] <touchpadlock> lucas-arg: sounds like kernel panic maybe, have you seen that at all?
[18:19] <NanetteE> compdoc: thank you for your help
[18:19] <lucas-arg> touchpadlock: sounds like kernel panic to me
[18:19] <NanetteE> compdoc: it is working right now
[18:19] <compdoc> NanetteE, what did you do?
[18:19] <compdoc> I created a new fstab for you
[18:19] <lucas-arg> touchpadlock: ive installed server and desktop kernels... but i have no other kernel in the repo to downgrade or anything
[18:19] <NanetteE> compdoc: commented out the /data that was on the orignal install  and it boots without an error message
[18:20] <NanetteE> compdoc: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK!
[18:20] <compdoc> ok, but my fstab would work better, I think
[18:20] <touchpadlock> lucas-org: when i get kernel panics, i keep downgrading; if you are using old hardware, maybe try ubuntu 7.10
[18:20] <NanetteE> compdoc: ok
[18:20] <Erealz> http://pastebin.com/s8LH30WQ how can i get rid of an install error that wont go away.
[18:20] <compdoc> http://pastebin.com/1pSPNbg0
[18:21] <lucas-arg> touchpadlock: lol... hp dv6 i7 4gm ram 500gb 7200 rpm nvidia 320m no old hardware either
[18:21] <ingm> hi am bit new on this was wondering if someone could help me with wifi acer laptop

[18:21] <touchpadlock> !wifi | ingm
[18:21] <ZykoticK9> Erealz, start by trying "sudo apt-get -f install"
[18:22] <ingm> well as far as i can see it cant see the card
[18:22] <ingm> i had a look and cant work it
[18:22] <touchpadlock> ingm: try "sudo lshw" in terminal to see if you see it, and try "sudo iwconfig" to see if you have a wireless interface
[18:22] <JamesMR> Hi, hard drive woes on my main drive, currently running off a usb flash drive, here's the error I get when trying to mount the drive when running no my flash stick http://paste.ubuntu.com/624476/ and here's dmesg | tail http://paste.ubuntu.com/624478/
[18:22] <touchpadlock> anyone know how to lock the touchpad during typing in ubuntu 11.04?
[18:23] <lucas-arg> i hope 11.10 doesnt use plymouth and stays stable... im tired of this kinda bugs
[18:23] <JamesMR> I seem to get this problem when using flash in chromium
[18:23] <Netto> my ubuntu 11.04 keeps changing the default keyboard settings after restarting.. how to fix it?
[18:24] <ingm> i get pci (sysfs)
[18:24] <adf> Hello, I installed Ubuntu 11.04 with 10 GB of disk space for Ubuntu. I want to increase it to 20 GB, how would I go about doing this from Ubuntu?
[18:24] <ZykoticK9> JamesMR, the I/O error on sda isn't a good sign.  The segfault with npviewer (is flash crashing, hard).
[18:24] <captainjamie> adf gparted?
[18:24] <brown_fern> touchpadlock: This is only a guess that you may have already thought of, but would you have a function key "fn" that would lock the touchpad? On a laptop that I have there is a dedicated button concerning this near the touchpad. In order to find out you'd want to look at the icon-like pictures related to the "fn" key and experiment, or look up documentation on the website for your laptop manufacturer.
[18:24] <adf> What?
[18:24] <NanetteE> compdoc: I don't need to mout the /boot drive?
[18:24] <JamesMR> ZykoticK9: is there much I can do?
[18:24] <Xcytre> james - that kind of error would make me nauseous
[18:25] <adf> Oh, I forgot to mention I used Wubi also.
[18:25] <compdoc> NanetteE, nope
[18:25] <ingm> on sudo iwconfig it says no wireless extensions
[18:25] <compdoc> its a boot partition, and you should never mess with it
[18:25] <captainjamie> adf: oh sorry i've never used wubi.
[18:25] <ZykoticK9> JamesMR, regarding the HD i/o error - i'd recommend be sure you have everything backed up.  Regarding flash - not much you can do...  best of luck.
[18:25] <touchpadlock> brown_fern: i don't want to toggle it off and on manually, only when typing, like on previous versions of ubuntu in the prefs, mouse
[18:25] <NanetteE> I will tell my husband that!
[18:25] <C_smith> Hey, are the same drivers on the xorg edgers PPA for Natty also available for Maverick?
[18:26] <ingm> its a laptop with a built in card
[18:26] <brown_fern> touchpadlock: I see.
[18:26] <JamesMR> ZykoticK9: I don't have any extra space to back up to, I can live without flash though, is there any way I can access my files still?
[18:26] <ingm> looks like there is a driver missing
[18:26] <NanetteE> compdoc: so if I read this right, you took out a swap drive and the /boot drive and changed the /data to /home/nanette/Data?
[18:26] <ZykoticK9> JamesMR, livecd maybe?
[18:26] <JamesMR> ZykoticK9: I'm on a live CD
[18:27] <compdoc> NanetteE, the swap drive is defined further up, and you only want one sawp
[18:27] <compdoc> swap
[18:27] <ZykoticK9> JamesMR, oh.  sorry, i'm not sure what to suggest.
[18:28] <brown_fern> touchpad: Disable touchpad while typing is an option under Mouse settings for me with Ubuntu 11.04 Unity.
[18:28] <NanetteE> compdoc: and i saved my old fstab as fstab_old_061111 cause my husband said it is good to always save your old changes just in case and txt files are small any way
[18:28] <C_smith> anyone know if the xorg edger drivers for Natty Narwhal are also available for Maverick?
[18:28] <touchpadlock> brown_fern: i don't see it, what tab is it under?
[18:28] <compdoc> NanetteE, you bet
[18:28] <JamesMR> crap =/
[18:28] <compdoc> NanetteE, I was gonna mention that
[18:28] <NanetteE> compdoc: I am going to reboot and I will let you know how itgoes. THANK YOU AGAIN!
[18:28] <brown_fern> touchpad: Touchpad, the third one out.
[18:29] <compdoc> cool
[18:29] <NanetteE> cross your fingers!
[18:29] <compdoc> k!
[18:29] <touchpadlock> brown_fern: i only have two tabs: general and accessibility
[18:29] <C_smith> does anyone know?
[18:30] <ingm> is anyone free for wireless help cant figure it out
[18:30] <C_smith> if no-one knows, how can I find out?
[18:30] <guntbert> !patience | C_smith
[18:30] <captainjamie> ingm what's wrong?
[18:30] <C_smith> aye, will remember that.
[18:31] <ingm> i have a laptop built in card and it doesnt work
[18:31] <ingm> says no wireless conncection
[18:31] <ingm> extension sorry
[18:31] <captainjamie> Have you checked if it's on the list of campatable drivers?
[18:31] <ingm> how do i find what card i have
[18:31] <brown_fern> touchpadlock: I have those two but then a third one that called Touchpad. Hmm, you are on a laptop right? I wonder if the laptop package/packages installed on your system? I don't know what they are called or how to help you with that.
[18:31] <soreau> C_smith: Yes, xorg-edgers works in maverick though updates for maverick have stopped since a few months ago. More information on xorg-edgers in #ubuntu-x
[18:31] <ingm> acer extensa 5620
[18:32] <touchpadlock> brown_fern: correct, i am using a laptop, what package do you have?
[18:32] <captainjamie> ingm: one mo... I do know...
[18:32] <Alyssa__> i keep getting bad password when trying to connect with wicd
[18:32] <C_smith> ah, k, so that's why I didn't get the functionality I got with the Natty updates in Maverick.
[18:33] <escott> touchpadlock, it would be synaptics something
[18:34] <touchpadlock> escott: i'll search for a synaptics package to install (i believe synaptic is also the package manager name)
[18:34] <captainjamie> ingm: lshw -C network
[18:34] <LekeFly> How can i send commands to several ssh boxes?
[18:34] <captainjamie> ingm: I think anyway
[18:34] <touchpadlock> escott: no, no software found in the software manager
[18:34] <escott> touchpadlock, there are two things called synaptic one is the package manager the other is the touchpad driver
[18:34] <brown_fern> touchpadlock: I called it that simple because from my use of Debian GNU/Linux, extra packages, on top of the default ones were installed for laptops. I don't actually know how Ubuntu might handle laptops differently, but you do have touchpad support so it is strange that you don't have that third tab.
[18:34] <touchpadlock> escott: okay, it is synaptiks
[18:35] <ingm> oh tons of stuff came up lol
[18:35] <ingm> is this it network

[18:36] <escott> touchpadlock, assuming you are using xorg-input-synaptics driver for the touchpad the gnome mouse settings should show you a touchpad tab
[18:37] <touchpadlock> escott: the computer came with ubuntu 11.04 already install, don't know, i could check apt-get to see if its installed
[18:37] <captainjamie> mine is under the heading network

[18:37] <captainjamie> product: *stuff* where stuff is my card
[18:37] <sseremeth> Hoping someone can help - been a month since my ubuntu desktop (natty x86_64) on late model hardware has wanted to boot -- came not long after natty upgrade and even on a clean install the thing won't run now -- think I am having nvidia issues, plus something worse related to this: Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) - have tried TONS of stuff, but am likely missing something
[18:37] <ingm> mine says network wireless interface and then pro/wireless 3945abg
[18:37] <ingm> is that it
[18:38] <ratcheer> Please help me connect with my cd/dvd drive. This is a new PC with a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04. The CDROM worked fine when Win 7 was still installed, but Ubuntu does not recognize its existence. Gigabyte Z68A-D3-B3 motherboard, Award Hybrid (EFI or normal) Bios.
[18:38] <captainjamie> ingm: yeah I think so....
[18:38] <escott> touchpadlock, grep -i synaptic /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[18:38] <ingm> what do i do now?
[18:38] <touchpadlock> escott: i checked for that synaptics-input-xorg program but there is a bug in apt-get where it will not check if you have the program installed first before telling you another program is locking dpkg
[18:39] <touchpadlock> escott: with the grep nothing comes up; nano pulls it up and no findings of "synaptic" or "touchpad" in the log
[18:39] <ingm> PRO/Wireless 3945ABG looks like the one
[18:40] <ingm> i guess i need to know how to install the driver?
[18:40] <escott> touchpadlock, what kind of touchpad is this? what kind of laptop? what does xinput --list say about it
[18:40] <oCean> LekeFly: there is pssh, but I have never used it. See here: http://goo.gl/XJvu6
[18:40] <ingm> was odd as i used to have linux mint 8 and it worked out of the box
[18:40] <LekeFly> oCean: ty
[18:40] <touchpadlock> escott: i'll dump online the log, can you url me?
[18:41] <LekeFly> Anyway i can get terminal output to a webpage?
[18:41] <escott> !pastebin
[18:42] <roryy> ingm: this is probably not much help, but have you tried googling "ubuntu pro/wireless 3945abg"
[18:42] <NanetteE> compdoc: IT WORKED!
[18:42] <ingm> i did there is stuff
[18:42] <NanetteE>  compdocHave I screamed THANK YOU!
[18:42] <touchpadlock> escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/624495/
[18:42] <escott> sseremeth, what have you tried
[18:43] <sseremeth> name it -- rebuilt initrds, reinstalling anything end everything I can think of to my old install -- grub reinstalls - boots live disk no issues *sigh*
[18:44] <escott> touchpadlock, seems that it doesn't recognize this touchpad and just assumes its a mouse
[18:44] <escott> touchpadlock, probably the thing to do is force synaptics to control it
[18:44] <sinanaykut> hello
[18:44] <sinanaykut> i have a problem
[18:44] <sinanaykut> my ubuntu suspends after a few minutes of working
[18:44] <sseremeth> probably have 20 hours into this issue (trying to rescue my old install, then throwing in the towel and _just_ trying to get a fresh install working)
[18:44] <touchpadlock> escott: its definately a touchpad, i am installing synaptiks (with a k) now, its 80 mb donwload
[18:44] <captainjamie> ingm: sorry I was away briefly. If it worked with linux mint then it should work with ubuntu
[18:44] <ingm> i know odd

[18:45] <cub_> hey im having troubles with my ubuntu classic, i upgraded to ubuntu 11 and i wanted to disable unity so i ran ubuntu classic but when i go and use ubuntu classic i cant use compiz because visual effects are disabled
[18:45] <sseremeth> thinking about installing *cough* fedora just to see if it installs cleanly
[18:45] <cub_> like in the appearance tab
[18:45] <touchpadlock> escott: thanks, i'll use that when it installed, thanks again for your help and patience
[18:45] <escott> touchpadlock, see bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/311869
[18:46] <adrian15> sseremeth: May I help you? What is your current problem ?
[18:46] <LekeFly> Can someone point me in the direction so i can get terminal output to a webpage?
[18:46] <NanetteE> compdoc: IT WORKED!
[18:46] <sseremeth> my fresh install (nor many attempts at rescuing upgraded system) won't boot - probably two issues (nvida driver stuff being one) -- but the one I can't get past is: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[18:47] <cub_> hey im having troubles with my ubuntu classic, i upgraded to ubuntu 11 and i wanted to disable unity so i ran ubuntu classic but when i go and use ubuntu classic i cant use compiz because visual effects are disabled
[18:47] <cub_> like in the appearance tab
[18:47] <escott> sseremeth, can you please check your bios settings looking for things related to either RAID or SATA
[18:48] <sseremeth> sure -- any thoughts as to what specifically I should be looking at as I have already rev'd the bios and been staring at the settings
[18:48] <debd> cub_: maybe you need the graphics card driver/
[18:48] <cub_> i checked
[18:48] <cub_> i have all my drivers
[18:48] <cub_> im using intel i5 integrated graphics
[18:48] <cub_> it was working before on regular ubuntu with unity

[18:49] <I_Messed_up> Hello
[18:49] <I_Messed_up> can anyone help a despeate soul????
[18:49] <rinkukokiri> cub_, i had a problem with jockey seeing my nvidia drivers correctly.. it /appears/ that they are working correctly but jockey says they aren't in use..   maybe this is some of the problem..??
[18:49] <escott> sseremeth, its hard to say what to look for. that error just means the kernel cannot find the partition for /
[18:49] <rinkukokiri> cub s/had/have/
[18:50] <cub_> ok
[18:50] <cub_> i don't know the solution
[18:50] <rinkukokiri> just an idea
[18:50] <ratcheer> I_Messed_up: What do you need?
[18:50] <I_Messed_up> thx ratcheer
[18:50] <escott> cub_, you could just try and start compiz with compiz --replace
[18:50] <I_Messed_up> i was installing natty clean (upgrading from lucid)
[18:51] <I_Messed_up> and i accidentaly changed the filesystem tye of my personal data partition form EXT3 to EXT4
[18:51] <shududy> ok i came back
[18:51] <I_Messed_up> ...
[18:51] <adrian15> sseremeth: And have you checked if grub.cfg is generated ok? I mean... UUID being ok and so on? Are you maybe installating from a USB device ?
[18:51] <I_Messed_up> is there any way to get my stuff back??
[18:51] <shududy> let me ask the question again, my system freezes randomly and i want to find out about the reason. which steps i shoult take
[18:51] <Rexodus> Nice nick I_Messed_up ;]
[18:51] <I_Messed_up> i really did tought :(
[18:51] <ratcheer> I_Messed_up: Did you format it?
[18:51] <I_Messed_up> i think i might have lost 5 years of personal pics
[18:51] <escott> I_Messed_up, if you didn't overwrite the data just change ext3 to ext4 in /etc/fstab
[18:51] <I_Messed_up> no i didnt select format
[18:52] <I_Messed_up> how to?
[18:52] <tensorpudding> I_Messed_up: if you didn't select format, then it wasn't touched
[18:52] <sseremeth> @escott: afaict - the disks are fine, though -- sata is set to ide mode (instead of ahci or raid) -- disk is internal and attached directly to the asus m4a87td evo I am running
[18:52] <I_Messed_up> but
[18:52] <ratcheer> I_Messed_up: Yes, what escott said.
[18:52] <I_Messed_up> i see empty directories
[18:52] <shududy> my system freezes randomly and i want to find out about the reason. which steps i shoult take
[18:52] <I_Messed_up> like the default dir structure
[18:52] <tensorpudding> I_Messed_up: well, are you sure you didn't select format?
[18:52] <fischsemmel> .oO five years of personal pron is a lot ._.
[18:52] <escott> I_Messed_up, gksudo gedit /etc/fstab find the line for that partition and where it says ext3 change that to ext4
[18:52] <I_Messed_up> ok goign to /etc/fstab
[18:52] <I_Messed_up> tryong that escott THX
[18:53] <fischsemmel> gl
[18:53] <sseremeth> have regenerated the grub config, so would have thought grub would have cleaned that up on its own, but I can go look at it again
[18:53] <tensorpudding> I_Messed_up: please describe your partitions in more detail
[18:53] <I_Messed_up> sorry
[18:53] <escott> sseremeth, have you tried it as AHCI?
[18:53] <I_Messed_up> i have one 8 gb for /
[18:53] <sseremeth> let me try now
[18:53] <I_Messed_up> and one 80 gb for /home
[18:53] <I_Messed_up> i was trying to install natty on / leaving /home intact
[18:54] <I_Messed_up> but i changed it accidentally from ext3 to ext4
[18:54] <HazardX> how do I create/add a desktop (GUI) application to the system such that I can have it *correctly* bind mime types to it? (launchers don't allow me to asscociate mime types to them), I'm using 10.04
[18:54] <tensorpudding> I_Messed_up: when you specify it to change partition types, it probably does a formatting
[18:54] <I_Messed_up> im pretty sure it did
[18:54] <I_Messed_up> because i see default file structure
[18:54] <escott> HazardX, right click on the file you want to associate and select open with
[18:54] <I_Messed_up> ....
[18:54] <I_Messed_up> im trying to undelete them
[18:54] <I_Messed_up> is there any way to do the whole partition??
[18:54] <jiltdil> channel for backtrack?
[18:54] <oCean> I_Messed_up: type 'mount' in terminal, what's the output?
[18:55] <ratcheer> Please help me connect Ubuntu with my cd/dvd drive. This is a new PC with a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04. The CDROM worked fine when Win 7 was still installed, but Ubuntu does not recognize its existence. Gigabyte Z68A-D3-B3 motherboard, Award Hybrid (EFI or normal) Bios.
[18:55] <brown_fern> nubbo: I have not run a Live CD of Ubuntu 11.04 yet, most people make that switch from Unity to Gnome at the log in screen, can you "switch users" on the same drop down menu as "shutdown" is on and find your way to that same log in screen? It is just a guess. For recovering data I use Knoppix Linux with the "forensics" option.
[18:55] <tensorpudding> I_Messed_up: if it's formatted, you're going to lose at least some data, there's software to recover files out there
[18:55] <I_Messed_up> or is there anything with a GUI like stellar phonix
[18:55] <oCean> I_Messed_up: don't paste here, but use http://paste.ubuntu.com
[18:55] <sseremeth> @escott - if I boot the regular kernel, just get blinking cursor - will try rescue mode
[18:55] <I_Messed_up> i just need like 10 gb out of 80
[18:55] <escott> I_Messed_up, thats really ugly. you *might* be able to recover some of the files with a low level undelete tool
[18:55] <adrian15> I_Messed_up: Can you confirm with mount command that the partition is already mounted ?
[18:55] <HazardX> escott, right, but how do I create the APPLICATION itself? I can launch it from a commandline or a launcher, but I can't create it in such a way that it'll open from the UI correctly
[18:55] <escott> !undelete | I_Messed_up
[18:55] <I_Messed_up> shoot
[18:55] <I_Messed_up> sorry
[18:55] <I_Messed_up> ill BRB
[18:55] <I_Messed_up> i need to move
[18:56] <I_Messed_up> my computer ran out of battery
[18:56] <sseremeth> @escott - excuse me, recovery mode -- when set to ahci, get same kernel stack trace complaining that it can't mount /
[18:57] <escott> HazardX, im not understanding your question. to associate a mime type with a *.ext then right click on *.ext and select open with and find your program and say "always use this program"
[18:57] <escott> sseremeth, is there more kernel output available?
[18:58] <HazardX> escott, in the list of programs the program I want to assciate it with isn't there, and adding a custom line dosen't exactly work (since starting the program is a little more complicated than just running the bianry)
[18:58] <escott> HazardX, to create a launcher for the program in the menu use alacarte
[18:58] <sseremeth> @escott: absolutely -- let me get it in front of me and will retype into pastebin
[18:59] <escott> HazardX, create a sh script to launch the program so that it is a single line to execute
[19:00] <adrian15> sseremeth: It is quite strange it cannot boot right after running update-grub. It could a matter of fscking the partition but you say it is a fresh install! So  I discard it. If nothing works try to boot from Super Grub2 Disk.
[19:00] <HazardX> then what about mime icons? right now the system thinks all the program's files are text files (they're notably not), I can set them to open right, but I want the icons too :S
[19:01] <Erealz> ok question im looking for a defineing guid on how to backup and restore on linux incase i brake somthing ? and need restore?
[19:01] <chaos_> join #emacs
[19:01] <escott> HazardX, that I don't know
[19:01] <Arroyo1010> should i get the 64bit ubuntu for my virtual machine, or 32bit
[19:01] <Arroyo1010> its a vm for testing purposes, nothing too important
[19:01] <LekeFly> Can someone point me in the direction so i can get terminal output to a webpage?
[19:02] <escott> Arroyo1010, probably best to run the same version as your host
[19:02] <tensorpudding> Arroyo1010: does your CPU support the x86 virtualization extensions?
[19:02] <HazardX> escott, yea, nobody seems to, its apparently (that I've found in google) not posible to do since ~8.xx (which seems bizzare)
[19:02] <Arroyo1010> i have an intel Q6600, i suppose it does
[19:02] <tensorpudding> Arroyo1010: if it doesn't, amd64 won't work
[19:02] <chaos_> LekeFly: <command_name>>>webpage.htm
[19:02] <tensorpudding> C4Q almost surely does
[19:02] <adrian15> LekeFly: A terminal inside Xwindows or outside it ?
[19:02] <Arroyo1010> yes, it does
[19:02] <RA_drc> !kernel
[19:02] <tensorpudding> err, C2Q
[19:02] <Arroyo1010> s2q :)
[19:02] <LekeFly> adrian15: inside
[19:02] <Arroyo1010> c2q* :O
[19:02] <tensorpudding> well, then you can choose whichever
[19:02] <escott> HazardX, its possible its just not particularly easy anymore. it would involve making changes to assorted things in /user/share/icons
[19:03] <RA_drc> hi, how do i upgrade my kernel to 2.6.34? i am running meerkat
[19:03] <Arroyo1010> okie
[19:03] <tensorpudding> probably choose whichever one you're using
[19:03] <Arroyo1010> tyt
[19:03] <tensorpudding> on the host
[19:03] <adrian15> LekeFly: You are asking on how to do a pastebin ? Or what ?
[19:03] <LekeFly> chaos_: Think i will need some kind of php script
[19:03] <Erealz> question im looking for a defining guide on how to backup and restore on linux incase i brake somthing ?  what would an admin do?
[19:03] <LekeFly> adrian15: no :p
[19:03] <HazardX> escott, I'm not afraid of doing so, I just haven't found anything to explain it
[19:03] <DriesVD> offline
[19:03] <escott> Erealz, backup what... the system or the user data
[19:04] <s|MpLe> in sialm_life
[19:04] <adrian15> LekeFly: What chaos_ has written should work then. Another thing is you wanting all this output being formatted somehow. That's not evident.
[19:04] <escott> HazardX, check the freedesktop documentation it might be there (either that or gnome developer docs :))
[19:04] <chaos_> LekeFly: for example if you have to output contents of the command man ls to a page....then type 'man ls>>webpage.html'
[19:05] <ratcheer> Please help me connect Ubuntu with my cd/dvd drive. This is a new PC with a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04. The CDROM worked fine when Win 7 was still installed, but Ubuntu does not recognize its existence. Gigabyte Z68A-D3-B3 motherboard, Award Hybrid (EFI or normal) Bios.
[19:05] <chaos_> LekeFly:Is the file on a remote server?
[19:05] <Erealz> the system
[19:05] <Erealz> i would like to avoid haveing to reinstall all my apps all over again along with settings.
[19:05] <LekeFly> adrian15 & chaos_ it will be updated around every 10-30 sec so that wont work .. cant ftp upload a file every 30 sec :p
[19:06] <Erealz> so i guess an entire system.
[19:06] <RA_drc> hi, how can i update my kernel to 2.6.34? i am running meerkat
[19:06] <chaos_> LekeFly:better write a scrip
[19:06] <eltigre> Hey, is there an ICQ program for Ubuntu?
[19:06] <adrian15> LekeFly: Maybe enclosing the output with <pre> and </pre> should preserve the format.
[19:07] <escott> Erealz, the complexity of that depends on what applications you installed. Backup /etc with something like etckeeper that will give you the ability to merge custom changes back in. Backup the list of installed packages with dpkg. Backup anything special that was added to /opt. Backup any databases/webpages etc in /var
[19:07] <LekeFly> adrian15: still wont do the job.. i need the output to be updated to a server
[19:07] <adrian15> LekeFly: I suppose that you need to run the script on the server and not in your local machine
[19:07] <eltigre> pidgin doesn't connect to ICQ anymore
[19:07] <adrian15> LekeFly: Or use lftp to update the file to the server in an automated manner.
[19:07] <LekeFly> adrian15: prolly
[19:09] <Netto> so my ubuntu 11.04 is suddenly freezing, whats the best way to debug it?
[19:10] <escott> Netto, how hard is it freezing. Does the numlock light come on?
[19:10] <siavoshkc> debug it?
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> Netto: i'd test your RAM first
[19:10] <Netto> can ping, cant ssh, no keyboard response, image frozen
[19:10] <rinkukokiri> ^^  do what he said
[19:10] <Netto> num lock works
[19:10] <Rexodus> Check your logs where it goed bad?
[19:10] <Rexodus> goes*
[19:11] <escott> !sysrq | Netto
[19:11] <ratcheer> No one will try to help me?
[19:11] <escott> Netto, then start checking the log files to see if anything is mentioned.
[19:11] <rinkukokiri> so they got rid of ctrl alt backspace ??
[19:11] <Netto> kk
[19:11] <escott> ratcheer, not many people have hybrid efi/bios
[19:12] <RA_drc> hi, how can i update my kernel to 2.6.34? i am running meerkat
[19:12] <Rexodus> rinkukokiri: years ago
[19:12] <sseremeth> @escott, sans photo (can do that if you want) -- here is a close approximation of the kernel stack trace: http://paste.ubuntu.com/624514/
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> rinkukokiri: by default yes. Its easily reenabled
[19:12] <ratcheer> escott: Ok, thanks. I'll try Launchpad.
[19:13] <nimbiotics> hello all. I recently upgraded to 11.04 but me and my laptop are not happy at all.  Is there a way to go back to 10.10? How? TIA!
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> !info linux-image maverick
[19:13] <adrian15> sseremeth: What's your / partition filesystem ?
[19:13] <DriesVD> you can't downgrade
[19:14] <sseremeth> ext4 I'm quite certain
[19:14] <escott> sseremeth, its like it didnt even find the partition table. other than using ide sata is there anything weird about how you have this configured? are you using efi/gpt
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> RA_drc: you have the 35 kernel branch in maverick
[19:15] <adrian15> escott: Good point. I did not see that list of all partition was empty.
[19:15] <sseremeth> used to be software raid 0, but have detached the second disk, then done clean, stock, x86_64 install (from both normal desktop cd and also alternate install cd) to the one disk, giving it the full disk and letting it repartition the way _it_ wanted to
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> nimbiotics: do you get issues or do you simply dislike unity
[19:15] <escott> sseremeth, is the second disk still detached?
[19:16] <Erealz> what the compression tool for linux
[19:16] <sseremeth> thing ran great since new many months back and I actually made it through to running natty -- which makes me think it was a kernel change or something
[19:16] <Erealz> best
[19:16] <adrian15> sseremeth: Have you tried to create a new partition table before installing ?
[19:16] <sseremeth> yeah - second disk still detached (I still want the data :)
[19:16] <DriesVD> they all exist for a reason :p
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> Erealz: there is no best
[19:16] <escott> !best | Erealz
[19:16] <DriesVD> bzip2 works fine
[19:17] <escott> Erealz, its a trade-off between compression ratio, time to compress/decompress, and support on different systems
[19:17] <sseremeth> not using efi/gpt afaik
[19:17] <rinkukokiri> heh mine just froze
[19:17] <nimbiotics> ActionParsnip: both; big issues and dislike. The problem is that I'm in the middle of producing 3 videos for monday and dont have the time to check the issues. Thtas why, right now, I'd rather go back to 10.10 if possible. Will make a fressh install of 11.04 as soon as I can though
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> Erealz: fileroller is default in gnome, its just a gui to the cli compression tools
[19:18] <DriesVD> also depends on whether or not you're planning to share it with like a windows user or whatever lol
[19:18] <sseremeth> @adrian15 -- I let the installer (desktop and alternate) repartition many times
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> nimbiotics: then why did you choose now to upgrade!!?
[19:18] <sseremeth> @adrain15: i.e. it couldn't be a more stock install (although I'm sure that's a loaded statement)
[19:18] <escott> sseremeth, for whatever reason the kernel that is loaded by the grub initrd can't seem to find the disk. its going to be something low level like bios settings, partition table (make sure you dont have lvm)
[19:19] <adrian15> sseremeth: Repartition on an old partition table it is not the same as creating a new one. However if you say that other OSes have worked on that partition table it might be a kernel problem.
[19:19] <sseremeth> @escott - no lvm - this time I didn't even try to encrypt my homedir  ;)
[19:19] <jiltdil> hi when i want to add my yahhoo account to empathy it is not connceting while gmail is connecting how to fix this
[19:19] <nimbiotics> ActionParsnip: I cant recall now the exact reason, I just thought I had to :/
[19:19] <kalio> i burned the 11.04 64-bit desktop cd, but when i run it on my computer (nvidia 3D acceleration supported), gnome 2.32 starts instead of unity. why is unity not running and how can i get it to run on the live cd? i'm assuming it has to do with proprietary nvidia drivers not coming on the cd
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Erealz: there isn't a best compression tool in any OS. Its as intelligent as asking what the best colour of the rainbow is
[19:20] <sseremeth> @escott - will pour over bios settings (again) -- I may have missed something
[19:20] <escott> sseremeth, i would try and install some other simpler os and see if you can boot it
[19:20] <DriesVD> it's violet!
[19:20] <dr_willis> kalio,  you need to install the nvidia drivers correct. or else its defaulting to the Ubuntu-classic.. thats not  exactly the same as the old gnome.
[19:20] <cub_> unity is so fucking gay
[19:20] <nimbiotics> ActionParsnip: right now, for example; ive got 3 windows open and none has the window borders or controls
[19:20] <guntbert> !who | DriesVD
[19:20] <cub_> i tried to disable it by booting ubuntu classic and now i cant use visual effects
[19:21] <guntbert> !language | cub_
[19:21] <vec> using old 9.4 live cd, is there a good reason i cant install packages like irssi???
[19:21] <escott> sseremeth, and maybe use dd to copy zeros over a large part of the disk
[19:21] <dr_willis> You can have visual effects/compiz in Ubuntu Classic.  - somehow. :)
[19:21] <kalio> dr_willis: can i install the drivers while running the live cd? and if so, how do i tell it to switch to unity after i have installed the drivers?
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> nimbiotics: you are using an OS which champions choice. You don't need to do anything if you don't want
[19:21] <cub_> im speaking english?
[19:21] <escott> sseremeth, you might try booting something that is grub 1 instead of grub 2
[19:21] <dr_willis> kalio,  not that i know of..  You need to install it to hd to install them. Unless you make a live-persistnat usb - then you can sort of do it.
[19:21] <nimbiotics> ActionParsnip: sorry, i'm not sure what u mean
[19:21] <sseremeth> @escott - will try those
[19:22] <kalio> dr_willis: ok thank you for the help
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> Vec: there are no packages for jaunty. It's dead
[19:22] <dr_willis> kalio,  in the past ive used the reconstructor web site to remaster my own cd with the drivers. but thats not a free service/site any more
[19:22] <vec> why remove the servers T_T
[19:22] <dr_willis> I thought all the old releases went to some archive server.
[19:22] <LekeFly> Can someone point me in the direction so i can get terminal output to a webpage?
[19:22] <kalio> dr_willis: interesting
[19:22] <dr_willis> !eol
[19:23] <dr_willis> LekeFly,  use the pastebinit command?
[19:23] <guntbert> !pastebin | LekeFly or that:
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> nimbiotics: you could keep the system on maverick until the day you die if you desire. You don't have to upgrade just because the OS says there is a newer version
[19:24] <rhin0> need advice -- having problems flashing a laptop BIOS -- means says use freedos or win98 image -- flash can only be performed from .exe file (DOS) --- .exe file for BIOS Image is 3mb -- dos image (cd or usb) is 1.44mb image file -- won't fit
[19:24] <Erealz> is there a tool that can help me build my own distro
[19:24] <dr_willis> rhin0,  freedos has cdrom images. you would boot them, then access the exe from a usb flash, or hard drive normally
[19:24] <LekeFly> guntbert: Yeah im not looking to paste anything
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> nimbiotics: maverick has a lot of life in it and is not EOL. You fixed what wasn't broken
[19:25] <rhin0> I only have 1 usb and I would be running the freedos from the USB dr_willis
[19:25] <adrian15> !casper | Erealz
[19:25] <dr_willis> rhin0,  put the file on a hard drive then. or a cd
[19:25] <Erealz> !casper
[19:25] <rhin0> with that mscx program to read the cd?
[19:25] <rhin0> ok
[19:25] <nimbiotics> ActionParsnip: I know, it was just that at the moment I wanted some piece of software that was suposed to be overhauled for 11.04. I've had so much trouble i can even remember what it was, I just want to finish my videos adn then I'll have plenty of time to fix my OS
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> rhin0: could use a win98 cd or ultimate boot cd
[19:26] <dr_willis> freedos last i checked had the proper cd drivers.
[19:26] <nimbiotics> ActionParsnip: u r 100% rite
[19:26] <rhin0> ok thanks
[19:26] <adrian15> Erealz: Four or five years the tool was named casper. I do not know if nowadays Ubuntu has a better tool for doing so.
[19:26] <guntbert> LekeFly: I probably misunderstood :)
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> nimbiotics: log into gnome classic session. May help
[19:27] <rhin0> so freedos mightboot and read the cd
[19:27] <rhin0> all good
[19:27] <Alyssa_> how do you set ur dns server?
[19:27] <rhin0> viva ubuntu
[19:27] <rhin0> !
[19:27] <dr_willis> rhin0,  thats how it would be done with floppy disks even. :) if it would fit on a flopppy
[19:27] <nimbiotics> ActionParsnip: I disabled unity, completely uninstalled it
[19:27] <rhin0> sorry missed that
[19:27] <Alyssa_> !dns
[19:28] <Alyssa_> erm
[19:28] <dr_willis> the network manager tool has dns settings
[19:28] <dr_willis> i normally set mine to get dns from dhcp. but use a static ip.
[19:29] <rinkukokiri> yeh i usually set mine from the router.. although RoadRunner likes to hijack dns requests now
[19:29] <theadmin> In case you can't get the DNS from your ISP you can always use <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:29] <nimbiotics> ActionParsnip: is there any means to revert to 10.10?
[19:29] <rinkukokiri> or <IP_ADDRESS>,-<IP_ADDRESS>
[19:31] <adrian15> LekeFly: What about lftp? If you want to update a webpage that's what you have to use mainly.
[19:31] <bonhoffer> what is the difference between Auto Ethernet and Ethernet connection in Network Connections?
[19:31] <brown_fern> Erealz: Do you mean something along the lines of Linux From Scrath? http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_from_scratch  As in, for your personal use, or are you wanting to start your own Distribution under a company, I can not help you further with either one but specifying will let others help you.
[19:31] <tortib> is there a unrar app for gnome so i can use unrar with nautilus?
[19:32] <adrian15> bonhoffer: Auto Ethernet mainly uses dschp. Ethernet connection should let your customize your network settings.
[19:32] <bonhoffer> i've got Auto Ethernet that is used now and Ethernet connection that is used never
[19:32] <guntbert> !unrar | tortib
[19:32] <bonhoffer> adrian15: o.k
[19:33] <adrian15> bonhoffer: Right click on network manager and Edit connections. Under Wired tab you should be able to add your customized network settings.
[19:33] <bonhoffer> adrian15: thanks!
[19:33] <nimbiotics> Is there a way to go back to 10.10? TIA!
[19:34] <escott> !downgrade | nimbiotics
[19:34] <Guest19452> hey guys. ctrl + R doesn't seem to resize windows anymore (i swear it used to?). what key combination is used now?
[19:34] <tortib> thanks guntbert
[19:34] <nimbiotics> escott; THX
[19:34] <escott> Guest19452, drag the window to a side it will auto size itself to fill half or all of the screen
[19:34] <rinkukokiri> nimbiotics, well.. you can backup the /home dir and use the 10.10 livecd to install 10.10 and recover your /home
[19:34] <rinkukokiri> but it will likely break a lot of configs...
[19:34] <guntbert> tortib: you're welcome :-)
[19:35] <nimbiotics> rinkukokiri: thx
[19:35] <Guest19452> escott: that's not what i was asking :P is there a key combination set by default? i swear there used to be, so i'm wondering what it is now. if there isn't one, that's fine
[19:35] <adrian15> LekeFly: What I mean is that you are wanting to upload a file to a web server (probably via ftp). If you modify it before uploading is secondary. Just add the lines to modify it in your script before calling lftp with your host parametres.
[19:36] <nimbiotics> is there a way to restart startx? all my windows show w/o controls or borders
[19:36] <dr_Willis> nimbiotics,  just 'metacity --replace' you mean?
[19:36] <rinkukokiri> nimbiotics, open term and use    compiz --replace
[19:36] <escott> Guest19452, i think they took that out but you could try ccsm
[19:36] <rinkukokiri> or metacity --replace
[19:37] <dr_Willis> fusion-icon can auto-restart compiz or metacity iof it crashes
[19:37] <Guest19452> escott: yeah, i'm going to look there now. strange they took it out though! thanks for clearing it up :)
[19:37] <Krishnandu> Hi, my webcam is not working in Dell Inspiron 1525
[19:37] <nimbiotics> rinkukokiri: it worked, THX!
[19:38] <rinkukokiri> nimbiotics, like dr_Willis said, it would be a good idea to install fusion-icon and set it to startup so it can restart compiz/metacity if it crashes, or, alternatively, you can set a launcher to do it manually ...
[19:39] <dr_Willis> !info fusion-icon
[19:39] <dr_Willis>  You may need to whitelist the thing so it can show up in the tray under unity
[19:43] <_alazar> One of my users doesn't need to enter the password for log in, I don't remember how to disable it.
[19:46] <escott> _alazar, /etc/gdm/custom.conf or some such
[19:46] <adf> So, I decided I wanted the 3D cube effect. Whenever I tried to deploy it, my computer wouldn't respond. I turned it off and then back on, and now both my bars are gone. I cannot access anything because I have no bars or buttons. Any help?
[19:46] <adf> I'm using 11.04, also.
[19:48] <dr_Willis> adf,  i recall the webupd8 blog site having  the commands to reset compiz, unity, and gnome back to defaults. I think i bookmarked the url at http://delicious.com/dr_willis
[19:48] <dr_Willis> I cant look it up right now to verify.
[19:48] <adf> i see it dr_willis
[19:49] <adf> thanks, i will try it when i get back to my main pc
[19:49] <adf> ;)
[19:49] <yshi> does anyone know if you can stream netflix? maybe with wine?
[19:50] <dr_Willis> yshi,  theres programs for windows that let you do it.. not sure if they work in wine. (i would doubt if it would)
[19:50] <dr_Willis> netflix can work in win95 in virtualbox I think. :)
[19:51] <theadmin> loool
[19:51] <theadmin> dr_Willis: If it can work in Win95, WINE sure will handle it
[19:51] <brown_fern> Guest19452: This page seems to list Unity, and other, shortcut keys, see if it helps at all: http://www.multimediaboom.com/ubuntu-11-04-unity-keyboard-shortcuts-key/
[19:51] <dr_Willis> theadmin,  thats not true.
[19:51] <dentifrice> hey there
[19:51] <theadmin> Hello, dentifrice
[19:51] <dentifrice> i'm trying to install a HP G62-a57SF laptop and it's giving me hell
[19:52] <madadam1> hi, I'm tryng to recover my pwd using this wiki http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-recover-password-under-ubuntu.html, but when I press b the system doesn't boot, why?
[19:52] <sseremeth> @escott - writing zeroes to disk with dd now from live disk, will try fresh install again after that
[19:52] <escott> sseremeth, that should only be necessary for the first few blocks
[19:53] <dentifrice> I can see nothing but a blank screen on startup, and I get the console by appending "nomodeset" to the grub kernel line, but I would like to know how to setup the right open source graphics drivers for the ATI HD Mobility
[19:53] <ASKidwai> hello
[19:53] <dentifrice> (the laptop has both an intel graphics controller and an ATI mobility)
[19:53] <theadmin> dentifrice: There are quite many of those mobility cards. Which one do you have, at least the series?
[19:53] <dr_Willis> madadam1,  look at the bottom of the grub menu/lines you are editing. I think ctrlx or f10 boots.. but that guide may be a bit out of date. and theres other ways to reset the password
[19:54] <wilfredor> Hi
[19:54] <wilfredor> I am over Oneiric and i have severals bug
[19:54] <wilfredor> basicly I cant to see the applications menu
[19:54] <vec> wilfredor: /join ubuntu+1
[19:55] <wilfredor> ok
[19:55] <dr_Willis> dentifrice,  oh. one of those dual-gpu laptops... ive seen some forum posts and posts on askubuntu.com about those.
[19:55] <theadmin> My favorite way is: 1) append "init=/bin/bash" to the kernel line, 2) run "mount -o remount,rw /", 3) run "passwd USERNAME", 4) run sync, 5) run mount -o remount,ro /, 5) run reboot -f
[19:57] <donttasemebro> hi everyone, i need a new laptop i was considering one with a mobility radeon card (ones with switchable graphics) but it appears that actually those dont natively work with linux so i was wondering, since they dont work and i dont want to install drivers for them (or as far as i can see i wont have graphics) does it mean that the ATI card doesnt turn on at all?
[19:57] <vec> i ran `sudo pppoeconfig eth0' and now i cant connect to my nat/dhcp router, is that normal or did make a mistake along the way?
[19:57] <crohakon> Anyone here able to give me some help with jailkit (using ISP Config 3.) I need to allow a user to use the java command in ssh.
[19:59] <madadam1> dr_Willis, solved. thank you
[20:01] <vec> donttasemebro: a) ati is indeed supported not very well on linux, nvidia much better imho (the propriatary drivers are a charm)
[20:02] <vec> b)why do you not want to install drivers for the card?
[20:02] <donttasemebro> vec: im talking about switchable graphics which isnt officially supported yet
[20:02] <escott> donttasemebro, usually its the dynamic switching that doesn't work, but the card can work provided the switching is disabled in the bios.
[20:03] <donttasemebro> escott:problem is there is not going to be a bios option, and i dont want the ati card to overheat or something
[20:03] <dr_Willis> i recall some switch-video-app thats being worked on.  perhaps it will get included in  the next reelase.
[20:04] <donttasemebro> dr_Willis : switcharoo?
[20:04] <jmcantrell> is there a way to put folder emblems on the bookmarks in the places sidebar?
[20:04] <naxa> hi! how can i resize my root partition?
[20:04] <dr_Willis> donttasemebro,  i dont remeber. since i dont have such a laptop. :) yet...
[20:04] <escott> donttasemebro, best to ask about the particular model you want to use because some vendors/chips handle switching differently
[20:04] <donttasemebro> dr_willis: lol, well thank you anyways :D
[20:05] <escott> naxa, boot a livecd and use gparted
