[09:18] <CantWinn> Siegel-, Is there a reason why you are using the --force?
[09:18] <coz_> osmosis_paul,  no problem let me know if that helps a bit
[09:18] <Siegel-> CantWinn:  im following the instructions from the brother site
[09:18] <coz_> celltech,   and was this a "clean" install of 11.04   or an upgrade
[09:18] <Siegel-> CantWinn: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_prn1a.html
[09:18] <celltech> upgrade
[09:19] <Rods_Tiger> How do I stop the sidebar on the left from interrupting the browser back button? Each time I click the back button, the sidebar gets in the way and I get a search box instead.
[09:19] <coz_> celltech,   ok.. I generally dont recommend upgrades.. only because they are consistently inconsistent,,, I always suggest a clean install...this way , if there are issues , you can be sure they are not caused from an upgrade
[09:20] <CantWinn> Siegel-, What is your system? 64? 32?
[09:20] <celltech> good point.. I see your point on that
[09:20] <Siegel-> CantWinn:  i think its 32. how do i check/
[09:20] <coz_> celltech,  I believe this  regardless of the distribution or the  the OS
[09:21] <ghabit> Hello. I have 1680x1050 resolution. While booting the bootup logo is 'stretched' how to fix it?
[09:22] <CantWinn> Siegel-, Open your Dash Home - Type "system" find the icon that says system info click it
[09:23] <MeanEYE> Judge: Don't mention it. :D
[09:23] <CantWinn> I back up coz_ all the way on that one
[09:23] <Us3r_Unfriendly> hi room
[09:23] <CantWinn> sup Us3r
[09:23] <Siegel-> CantWinn: its 32
[09:24] <CantWinn> ok
[09:24] <Siegel-> yep
[09:24] <Siegel-> i had the scanner and fax drivers still downloaded, i saved them from last time. i just downloaded the printer driver from here: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html#MFC-5460CN, lpr and cups
[09:25] <Flynsarmy> 11.04, gnome classic. When I click the 'dot' in the titlebar, compiz crashes with error: ** (gtk-window-decorator:20947): CRITICAL **: Could not find frame info P\xbd\xeb in frame type table. Segmentation Fault. Is this a known bug?
[09:26] <Siegel-> CantWinn:  i cant find specific instructions for 32bit. i cant only find 64
[09:26] <coz_> Flynsarmy,  not a bug that I can remember...  Which "dot" are you referring to?
[09:27] <CantWinn> Siegel-, I think I have an easier way for you
[09:27] <Siegel-> CantWinn: all the better
[09:27] <Flynsarmy> coz_: there's the close/max/min buttons, and on the opposite side is a dot that brings up the task bar right click menu
[09:27] <solofight> people i installed proftpd and added users to a specific directory. now i want a particular user to access /usr and its subdirectories  how do i change it ?
[09:27] <solofight> removing and adding the user is the only way ?
[09:27] <CantWinn> Go to dash home, type synap and tell me if something comes up
[09:27] <freedom07> if i installed ubuntu 11.10 beta2, do i need to reinstall with final release?
[09:27] <Flynsarmy> coz_: looks like someone else is having a similar experience: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1767304 I'm not sure how to test what version fo gnome i'm on though?
[09:28] <Flynsarmy> coz_: and im on 11.10, not 11.04
[09:28] <Siegel-> CantWinn: what is dash home? im using gnome shell, not unity
[09:28] <Siegel-> and my ubuntu is in hebrew (it sucks)
[09:28] <CantWinn> OH
[09:28] <Siegel-> yep
[09:29] <mfauzirahman> #ubuntu-my
[09:29] <Rods_Tiger> In the screenshot utility I pressed 'help' and got this: Document Not Found
[09:29] <Rods_Tiger> The URI ‘ghelp:user-guide?goseditmainmenu-53#goseditmainmenu-53’ does not point to a valid page.
[09:29] <Rods_Tiger> I don't understand
[09:29] <CantWinn> Siegel-, Open up a terminal
[09:29] <reisio> Rods_Tiger: probably was expecting to be opened in a different browser
[09:30] <Rods_Tiger> so what do I do?
[09:30] <Siegel-> its CantWinn its open
[09:30] <JRandolph> Anyone know what time of the day the backup will happy
[09:30] <CantWinn> Siegel-, next you want to type sudo su
[09:30] <Siegel-> kk im signed in
[09:30] <coz_> Flynsarmy,  ah ok.. I have not installed 11.10 yet.. so I havent worked through any of the compiz/ubuntu issues,,, it doesnt surprise me though,,, you can meet me in #compiz  , and although I am not up to speed at this    point , one of the other compiz support people would be soreau , who may have more info on this one,, also ,,  you can go to #compiz-dev and speak with  smspillaz  the main developer and ask about the issue ,,, i am assuming he wou
[09:30] <coz_> ld be aware of it,, the only issie is that sam lives in austrailia so you will have to adjust with your time zone to speak with him
[09:30] <Siegel-><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[09:31] <Flynsarmy> coz_: no time adjustment needed :)
[09:31] <CantWinn> Siegel-, next type "apt-get install brother-lpr-drivers-bh7"  -- without ""
[09:31] <coz_> Flynsarmy,  excellent :)
[09:31]  * tiox says with the enthusiasm of a 5th grader, "I FOUND IT!!"
[09:32] <soreau> coz_: smspillaz does not frequent #compiz-dev anymore
[09:32] <Siegel-> CantWinn: kk but it said 0 upgraded
[09:32] <tiox> That top bar that annoyed me, that can be switched off in gnome-tweak-tool
[09:32] <coz_> soreau,  oh ,, just shows where I am been :)
[09:33] <Siegel-> CantWinn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/713009/
[09:33] <cutiyar> i had used tutorial to solve waiting network configuration , but now ita nit load the sytem
[09:33] <CantWinn> Siegel-, You have it installed allready
[09:34] <lyrae> Just installed the new ubuntu. i miss the taskbar and don't like the dashboard. How can i make it like it used to be?
[09:34] <Siegel-> CantWinn: so how come it doesnt work and when i go to print something it doesnt even show up as an option? is it possible that i need to update it?
[09:34] <CantWinn> Siegel-, When you open up "printers" under your admin menu can you set to install a new printer, the drivers etc should be there
[09:34] <JRandolph> lyrae: There is Gnome-Shell
[09:34] <Rods_Tiger> I would like to press the back button in the browser, but I can't.
[09:34] <JRandolph> and I think a fall back session
[09:34] <Siegel-> CantWinn: let me look
[09:34] <lyrae> JRandolph, what is that. Is it the old gnome?
[09:35] <JRandolph> Not sure waht the differents are
[09:35] <Rods_Tiger> The sidebar on the left dashes out into the way.
[09:35] <Siegel-> CantWinn: when i go to "printers" i see none. it just gives me an option to add a new one
[09:35] <Rods_Tiger> Every time I press the back button, I end up with a search box instead.
[09:35] <cutiyar> i had used tutorial to solve waiting network configuration , but now ita nit load the sytem ,helpp needed
[09:35] <JRandolph> lyrae: Check the uuntu software center
[09:35] <deej1976> gnome-shell has a fail-back option in the repo
[09:35] <JRandolph> search for gnome
[09:35] <CantWinn> Siegel-, Add a new printer
[09:36] <Jonny> is there an easy way to mount a samba share?
[09:36] <cutiyar> i had used tutorial to solve waiting network configuration , but now ita nit load the sytem ,helpp needed
[09:36] <freshinstall> Jonny, smbmount
[09:36] <freshinstall> or use nautilus
[09:36] <Siegel-> CantWinn: it told me the firewall is not active and then it wont let me add. it only lets me cance;l
[09:36] <JRandolph> I'm curious what time the "Backup" included will 11.10 will actually back
[09:36] <lyrae> JRandolph, no no that's not what i meant. What i meant is, I don't like the new desktop environment(forgot what it is called). i remember in beta there was an option when you login to use regular gnome
[09:36] <JRandolph> It's set to daily
[09:36] <ghabit> Hello. I have 1680x1050 resolution. While booting the bootup logo is 'stretched' how to fix it?
[09:36] <Jonny> yeah, I would like to creat a premenent mount point
[09:36] <freshinstall> Jonny, /etc/fstab
[09:37] <JRandolph> classic gnome
[09:37] <Jonny> so i can share my music over the network
[09:37] <JRandolph> I'm not sure if you can get it from the software center
[09:37] <freshinstall> Jonny, you mean how to create a share then I think?
[09:37] <CantWinn> Siegel-, the firewall is NOT active?
[09:37] <JRandolph> You can just download Gnome 2.0 and install it
[09:37] <deej1976> Install gnome-session-fallback, this will give you gnome-shell with a gnome2 look
[09:37] <Siegel-> CantWinn: i guess not. how do i activate it?
[09:37] <scarleo> !notunity | lyrae
[09:37] <JRandolph> It's unsupported though
[09:38] <Jonny> freshinstall, well if i have it as a share i am not able to import my music folder into clemantine
[09:38] <ragnar> Hi, I just installed ubuntu 11.10 on my Dell Precision M4400, however, after I reboot, it doesnt seem to get to the logon screen. The monitor goes weird and then theres just a black screen showing me which services its starting.
[09:38] <barzan_> i had used tutorial to solve waiting network configuration , but now ita nit load the sytem ,helpp needed
[09:38] <Jonny> lol
[09:38] <ragnar> what could this be_
[09:38] <Siegel-> CantWinn: it told me its necessary to activate mdns, ipp, ipp-client ו־samba-client
[09:38] <Jonny> thats why i want to map it :)
[09:38] <CantWinn> Siegel-, Is this a network printer? Or do you have it plugged in via USB etc?
[09:38] <lyrae> scarleo, many thanks
[09:39] <freshinstall> Jonny, no idea what clementine is :-)
[09:39] <ip00q> hi, I installed gnome-shell and if authentication is required, it asks me for the wrong users' passwords (I have 2 admin accounts).. anyone seen this?
[09:39] <barzan_> i had used tutorial to solve waiting network configuration , but now ita nit load the sytem ,helpp needed
[09:39] <Siegel-> CantWinn: no, its just our own printer. were part of no network. its a usb connection
[09:39] <Jonny> freshinstall, it is just a music player in ubuntu
[09:39] <barzan_> i had used tutorial to solve waiting network configuration , but now ita nit load the sytem ,helpp needed
[09:39] <barzan_> i had used tutorial to solve waiting network configuration , but now ita nit load the sytem ,helpp needed

[09:40] <ragnar> Hi, I just installed ubuntu 11.10 on my Dell Precision M4400, however, after I reboot, it doesnt seem to get to the logon screen. The monitor goes weird and then theres just a black screen showing me which services its starting. What could be causing this
[09:40] <ragnar> in live CD it starts fine.
[09:40] <ragnar> I am currently using it with livecd right now
[09:41] <wartrend> wow 11.10 kinda sucks. going back to windows vista
[09:42] <freshinstall> Jonny, to tell you the truth, i bought a qnap nas for home a year or so ago and haven't looked back, for music and file sharing it's so awesome, and simple (and I set up file shares all day every day ;-) )
[09:42] <reisio> wartrend: hah
[09:42] <CantWinn> Siegel-, This should all be installed with CUPS..  type in terminal    dpkg  -l  |  grep cups
[09:42] <Siegel-> CantWinn: while installing ubuntu 11.10 it asked me if i want to upgrade my printer drivers or configuration something like that. the default was no, , so i chose no. could that be the cause of the problem?
[09:43] <CantWinn> Siegel-, Could be, we'll try seeing what's up with cups
[09:43] <Siegel-> CantWinn: i typed that and nothing happened
[09:43] <CantWinn> aha!
[09:43] <Siegel-> CantWinn: it didnt even go back to prompt
[09:44] <CantWinn> Siegel-, sudo apt-get install cups
[09:44] <scarleo> barzan_: what tutorial did you use?
[09:44] <Siegel-> CantWinn: nothing happens. as if terminal is not responding.
[09:44] <Rods_Tiger> I need to be able to press the back button of the browser, but the sidebar on the left of the screen pops out into the way each time, resulting in a search box instead.
[09:44] <CantWinn> you still have a # after your name in terminal?
[09:44] <Siegel-> CantWinn: k opened up a new terminal and typed that. 0 upgraded, 0 installed, 0 removed...
[09:45] <ragnar> nobody is able to help me? or even remotely tell me what could be wrong?
[09:45] <Siegel-> CantWinn: i tried the first thing now (dpkg -l | grep cups)
[09:45] <Siegel-> CantWinn: ill show you the result
[09:45] <barzan_> scarleo, from here totalcomputersusa.com
[09:45] <wartrend> ragnar - whats the problem
[09:45] <freshinstall> Hey, can I get the unity app bar to zoom, coz I want it to look even more like OSX ;-)
[09:45] <Siegel-> CantWinn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/713020/
[09:46] <reisio> freshinstall: superkaramba?
[09:47] <ragnar> wartrend:
[09:47] <ragnar> nobody is able to help me? or even remotely tell me what could be wrong?
[09:47] <barzan_> scarleo, thisartilce http://www.totalcomputersusa.com/2011/10/ubuntu-11-10-booting-system-without-full-network-configuration/
[09:47] <CantWinn> Siegel-, sudo apt-get update && install
[09:47] <wartrend> urd
[09:47] <ragnar> Hi, I just installed ubuntu 11.10 on my Dell Precision M4400, however, after I reboot, it doesnt seem to get to the logon screen. The monitor goes weird and then theres just a black screen showing me which services its starting. What could be causing this
[09:47] <ragnar> it works on livecd, I am using it right now
[09:47] <scarleo> barzan_: and what is your current state? Please be precise
[09:47] <Siegel-> CantWinn: kk its doing stuff
[09:47] <ragnar> but when I have installed it and rebooting, it doesnt give me the logon screen
[09:47] <freshinstall> ragnar, did you choose to install third party software at install?
[09:47] <ragnar> as if xorg crashes
[09:47] <ragnar> freshinstall: yes
[09:48] <freshinstall> ragnar, it's prolly nvidia driver  - happened to me
[09:48] <ragnar> should I not do that?
[09:48] <barzan_> scarleo, after this instructions the ubuntu wasnt boot up so iam on it in live cd
[09:48] <bryian> hi...could someone tell me how to install applications without using wine...e.g. have to install jdk
[09:48] <ragnar> yep, it has uh, nvidia
[09:48] <ragnar> so yeh
[09:48] <Siegel-> CantWinn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/713021/ look at the bottom
[09:48] <ragnar> should I just reinstall and not choose to use, uh, third party drivers?
[09:48] <freshinstall> ragnar, try install without them, i bet it's the trick, then choose "additional drivers" and go for the "beta" newest one
[09:48] <Jonny> freshinstall, that is really good
[09:48] <Siegel-> CantWinn: missing file operand
[09:48] <Jonny> i was looking into getting one myself
[09:48] <ragnar> freshinstall: aight, Ill give it a shot right now
[09:48] <ragnar> thanks for the advise.
[09:49] <ragnar> have an awesome day!
[09:49] <freshinstall> Jonny, I just set it up as a printer share with my old(ish) hp deskjet - worked first go
[09:49] <CantWinn> Siegel-, Yeah because I forgot to tell you to put cups at the end
[09:49] <freshinstall> now everyone can print
[09:49] <CantWinn> oops
[09:49] <Siegel-> CantWinn: haha oh ok let me trty again
[09:49] <Jonny> freshinstall, nice!!
[09:49] <scarleo> barzan_: login to your HD install in recovery mode, hold shift down while booting and select recovery and then go to root console (recovery console or whatever similar)
[09:49] <CantWinn> It's just telling you that it's looking for something to install and nothing was there
[09:49] <Jonny> tht would be cool
[09:49] <wartrend> well ragnar - i would put vista on it and be done with it. If i wanted osx i would have bought an over priced macbook
[09:49] <Jonny> :)
[09:50] <zykes-> 0/win 20
[09:50] <freshinstall> Jonny, unbelievably it even has an asterisk add on, you can use it as a VOIP PBX although I've not tried yet
[09:50] <barzan_> scarleo,i thought about but its just boot to my hp logo and go back repeating in other word its dont come recovery
[09:51] <Jonny> freshinstall, i would like a home skype setup
[09:51] <Jonny> would be q nice
[09:51] <Siegel-> CantWinn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/713024/
[09:51] <scarleo> barzan_: so what did go wrong hen you followed theguide?
[09:51] <Siegel-> CantWinn: its almost a problem with the location.
[09:51] <CantWinn> Siegel-, This happens when you have another package manager open
[09:51] <barzan_> scarleo, its problem i dont know what was the wrong , i just do these instructions
[09:52] <Siegel-> CantWinn: ooh ok, update manager is open.
[09:52] <CantWinn> Siegel-, bingo
[09:52] <freshinstall> Jonny, the nature of voip is that the pbx just does the connections - kinda like a matchmaker - then the media, the actual conversation goes direct between clients, so the pbx doesn't need to be terribly fast or have that much bandwidth, as the calls aren't going through it.
[09:52] <barzan_> scarleo, the live cd also cant recognize the hard disk
[09:52] <Siegel-> CantWinn: its updating, its done in a minute. should i try it again when its closed?
[09:52] <CantWinn> Siegel-, sure can.. btw, was any cups stuff in your update?
[09:52] <scarleo> barzan_: sounds like you have some other problem
[09:52] <Jonny> freshinstall, yeah. Didnt realise that
[09:53] <soreau> Is nouveau experimental 3D enabled by default in 11.10?
[09:53] <Siegel-> CantWinn: i told you i chose "no"
[09:53] <Rods_Tiger> well, it seems that there's no way of using the back button without it being interrupted by the sidebar on the left, rendering it unusable for web browsing. Thanks for your help everyone.
[09:53] <Siegel-> CantWinn: it says now:" missing destination file operand after `cups'"
[09:53] <scarleo> barzan_: just a coincidence that it happened at the same time
[09:53] <freshinstall> Jonny, try asterisknow - with an old junk PC works really well - you need a bunch of voip phones or ATAs (analogue telephone adapters) to play with it much though - although softphones installed on PCs will work
[09:53] <barzan_> scarleo, the rescue broken system also dont work
[09:54] <CantWinn> Siegel-, Give it another go after the update, then try to add printer again.. that should work. Also see if you can update cups from your update manager. I'm sorry to take off but I have work soon and I got to go.
[09:54] <freshinstall> Jonny, but be prepared to spend a year or more mastering it ;-)  I'm glad I did, got a killer phone setup at home now, but it's a long haul
[09:54] <Siegel-> CantWinn: could it be possible that its because i just redownloaded the printer drivers and they may not be the correct ones? they may be for 64 and not 32. though ic ant find the page that gave me an option to dl 32
[09:54] <scarleo> barzan_: DO you have / on a separate partition?
[09:54] <barzan_> scarleo, any hope to fix?
[09:54] <freshinstall> sorry, I'm off topic....
[09:54] <barzan_> scarleo, no
[09:54] <Siegel-> CantWinn: i just did. its done updating. its fine i also have to go to work
[09:54] <scarleo> barzan_: you have any important files on hd?=
[09:54] <Siegel-> CantWinn: update manager told me to restart. should i try after restarting?
[09:55] <CantWinn> Yes
[09:55] <freshinstall> yes Siegel- restart
[09:55] <CantWinn> Siegel-, yes
[09:55] <barzan_> scarleo, yes lotsss of app and Android development and Music And Videos\
[09:55] <Siegel-> ok so ill try
[09:55] <CantWinn> ttyl
[09:55] <Siegel-> thanks
[09:55] <scarleo> barzan_: and a backup then I guess?
[09:55] <Jonny> freshinstall, im not sure if i can spare that time lol
[09:55] <Jonny> looks good though
[09:55] <barzan_> scarleo, i didnt back up
[09:55] <zendfan> Hi Linux gurus
[09:55] <zendfan> I have a small question to ask in my cron I have /usr/sbin/anacron which I assume is standard but I cannot find this directory and over night my ubuntu server has filled 9gnon my home network any ideas ?
[09:56] <scarleo> barzan_: I guess you will in the future... So you can't mount the hd from the live disk?
[09:56] <barzan_> scarleo, yes
[09:56] <ghabit> is it ok so low resolution sound indicator - http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/163/20111019125604.png/ ?
[09:57] <hunger> Any idea why my screen dims when setting a terminal to fullscreen? 11.10, unity and gnome 3.2.
[09:57] <scarleo> barzan_: not much to do then
[09:57] <barzan_> scarleo, it means no hope????
[09:59] <scarleo> barzan_: if the disk can't be read, no. You can read through this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery That's my best suggestion
[10:00] <barzan_> scarleo, so why i do read this if its there is no hope to fix
[10:00] <barzan_> scarleo, this 11.10 pissed me offfff too much i was really stable 11.4
[10:00] <scarleo> barzan_: well I don't force you to
[10:01] <barzan_> scarleo, thank

[10:08] <brandonc503> ah.. somone had me change permissions recursive and messed it up
[10:08] <norbert79> Good day. Anyone else experiencing the loss of their OpenGL support from the Intel Video drivers after today's xserver-common and xserver-xorg-core package updates? I haven't touched anything on the X or around it, it just stopped working after today's security update. Details here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1864567
[10:08] <llutz_> brandonc503: thats one of those "not all" dirs :)
[10:08] <brandonc503> ya figured
[10:08] <brandonc503> anyway i can revert my /var/ folder to what it was on install?
[10:08] <brandonc503> without reinstalling all of ubuntu
[10:09] <llutz_> brandonc503: no, theres no mechanism to revert that except doing it manually comparing to a fresh installation
[10:09] <scarleo> barzan_: yes?
[10:09] <brandonc503> k thanks
[10:09] <brandonc503> only the 3rd install tonight

[10:11] <scarleo> barzan_: well, if you can't read your hard drive that won't be possible, but you can try. If you're going to try DataRecovery you shouldn't do anything to your hd as stated in the guide I linked you to
[10:12] <brandonc503> so when i install ubuntu, does the pasword i set go for the username i make aswell as the root?
[10:12] <SetiAmon> I'm getting more used to gnome 3 But does anyone here with dual monitors have firefox switching monitors (to secondary) after starting up?
[10:12] <SunTsu> brandonc503: in a way, yes. root can have it's own, but normally you use sudo with your user's password
[10:12] <llutz_> brandonc503: nope, its the user-password you also use for sudo.but its not roots pw
[10:13] <norbert79> Ok, maybe some Lucid users present here
[10:13] <norbert79> Good day. Anyone else experiencing the loss of their OpenGL support from the Intel Video drivers after today's xserver-common and xserver-xorg-core package updates?

[10:14] <KIMPRINCE> Just installed my first Ubuntu, V 11.10.  Some instructions are telling me to go to Software Centre->Edit, but I can't find any edit!
[10:14] <iceroot> norbert79: any easy ways to test it? i have an intel-card here
[10:15] <norbert79> iceroot: glxgears would show if it's working or not
[10:15] <norbert79> iceroot: if you are on the same patch level
[10:15] <m4k> dc5ala: I did checked /usr/share/php and it is present
[10:16] <norbert79> iceroot: I even did a regular reboot, just to make sure all new libraries and drivers get loaded, and lost OpenGL support since last update
[10:16] <XMan2012> i am having this error "XAMPP: Another web server daemon is already running.
[10:16] <XMan2012> "
[10:16] <scarleo> KIMPRINCE: It's in the global menu, when Software Center window is open, take the mouse all the way to the top of the screen and you should see a menu
[10:16] <XMan2012> whenever i try to startup my xampp server
[10:16] <iceroot> norbert79: sorry dont know where glxgears should be coming from
[10:16] <norbert79> mesa-utils
[10:16] <norbert79> but you get informed about it, when trying executing it
[10:16] <llutz_> !lamp | XMan2012 xampp is not supported here
[10:17] <deej1976> KIMPRINCE: if you are running Unity you need to move your mouse to the bar at the top this will change and show you the normal files,edit,view,help menus
[10:17] <iceroot> norbert79: ok i will try it
[10:17] <KIMPRINCE> Nice one scarleo
[10:17] <iceroot> norbert79: glxgears running fine here on latest 11.10 with intel-card (from eeepc 901)

[10:18] <MarcelT3> i got a sql dump in an utf8 file that shows silly tokens like <82> and i think they came from converting the db from latin1 to utf-8 long time ago.
[10:18] <iceroot> norbert79: ak ok sorry didnt read that but there was an update for both packages too in the last 2 days
[10:18] <MarcelT3> if i grep for '<82>' now, i get zero lines. can someone help me out?
[10:18] <norbert79> iceroot: Exactly those updates made my OpenGL go in the dumps
[10:19] <norbert79> iceroot: It worked before the updates

[10:19] <norbert79> these new ones caused my GL support go AWOL
[10:19] <iceroot> norbert79: guess that is related to 10.04 - 11.10
[10:20] <Silent_Samurai> norbert79, Are you refering to the "flashplugin-installer" component?
[10:20] <norbert79> Silent_Samurai: Yes, sorry
[10:20] <Silent_Samurai> Right.
[10:20] <norbert79> Silent_Samurai: Thought ubottu had that in it's db
[10:20] <Silent_Samurai> Well this is awkward.
[10:20] <Silent_Samurai> My Ubuntu froze, the only thing i can do is move my mouse and type.
[10:20] <norbert79> iceroot: Yes, I have began my comment starting with Lucid Lynx
[10:20] <iceroot> norbert79: yes, sorry didnt read that
[10:21] <norbert79> Silent_Samurai: Why don't you go inside console? Alt+F1 and try login from there installing the application
[10:21] <norbert79> Silent_Samurai: Ctrl+Alt+F1 I mean
[10:21] <raven> does anyone knows about a channel for gpxe support?
[10:21] <tocia> Hi, my keyboard and mouse are frozen at login (11.04 64), keyboard responds to alt-sysrq-r, I edited xorg.conf setting AutoAddDevices false and mouse came back, but not the keyboard. Any suggestions?
[10:23] <s1> raven: use alis , /msg alis help list , so for example  /msg alis list *gpxe*
[10:23] <Greg2k11> u have xorg.conf backup in cd/etc/x11
[10:23] <Greg2k11> maybe rename
[10:24] <scarleo> MarcelT3: try in #mysql or whatever you are using
[10:24] <Greg2k11> sorry etc/x11
[10:24] <tocia> Greg2k11: talk to me? with X -configure I created a new one, but nothing cjhanges
[10:24] <MarcelT3> i´ll do that, thx scarleo
[10:24] <piksi> is there a trivial solution to the problems i'm having with unity sidebar and the menu bars in apps? when an app is maximized it's sometimes very hard to get the unity panel to pop up. also, from time to time the menu bar of apps just disappears (with the close/minimize buttons) and doesn't reappear. this happened rarely on 11.04 but now more often in 11.10. it's a fresh install
[10:25] <Greg2k11> u have a backup of the file in x11 dir
[10:25] <norbert79> Guess I am the only unlucky one, whos got it's X broken since newest xserver update... last try
[10:25] <Greg2k11> rename to original
[10:25] <Greg2k11> happened to me it worked

[10:27] <norbert79> iceroot: If you would have read my Ubuntu forum entry you would have realised, that I have mentioned, that ubuntu-bug fails on me because I am on Firefox 7.0.1 coming from a PPA where the supprters also work for Canonical...
[10:27] <tocia> I reinstalled xserver.xorg and glrx, too, nothing works

I installed everything and included the official acer driver. iwconfig shows my card and the system recognizes my SSID. Now it just won't accept my password. Any idead how I can get more debug information why it wouldn't connect to my wifi?
[10:44] <soa2ii> dmesg says: [  135.965836] wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP; TKIP with WPA; AES/CCMP with WPA – my wifi is WPA2 CCMP is this the problem?

[10:50] <Chotaz`Work> is my mouse faulty or does ubuntu 11.10 workign with single click to open files?
[10:51] <Chotaz`Work> farrukhjon: you shouldn't need to.
[10:51] <soa2ii> farrukhjon: mount /dev/sd[whatever]
[10:51] <soa2ii> But udev should handle that.

[10:53] <soa2ii> farrukhjon: Well … what does dmesg say if you plug something in?
[10:53] <farrukhjon> what libs(???) i need to install ?
[10:53] <soa2ii> farrukhjon: Or take a look at lspci if it's recognized properly
[10:54] <lunitik> farrukhjon: it should already be mounted if you plugged it in... look at dmesg | tail -n10

[10:59] <farrukhjon> lunitik: in windows it work fine but plugined in Ubuntu no
[10:59] <lunitik> I wanna look at why sdc isn't ready... but idk where it'd be logged... cuz however it failed should be listed around that line
[11:00] <lunitik> farrukhjon: that doesn't really expand, it more simplifies... "not working" to just "no"
[11:00] <computer_> Is it just me or is the Ubuntu desktop bookmarking system busted in 11.10 at the moment?
[11:01] <lunitik> computer_: define "desktop bookmarking"? you mean like, webapps on your desktop?
[11:01] <luist> hey guys… can i make a custom live ubuntu usb (not CD) with UCK? whats the easiest way to do it?
[11:01] <farrukhjon> lunitik:  have any GUI tools for diagnostic or look usb card reader ?

[11:02] <lunitik> Kartagis: be thankful for the other 1272
[11:02] <Kartagis> cute
[11:02] <computer_> lunitik, no as in you open up your home folder and the in the unity menu you click on the Bookmarks option
[11:03] <lunitik> computer_: it does seem to lack any customization option
[11:04] <computer_> lunitik, in every other version of Ubuntu I have just dragged and dropped the folder I what to bookmark in to the left side bard
[11:04] <lunitik> computer_: like, it is designed in, but not yet done... it seems
[11:04] <lunitik> computer_: 11.10? it is the first version to use gnome3 and gtk3
[11:04] <tindo> can anyone tell me how to diable unity in ubuntu 11.10?
[11:04] <lunitik> computer_: maybe they just didn't get around to it in gnome3.0
[11:05] <lunitik> tindo: just install another desktop and it should add an option to your session settings
[11:05] <computer_> lunitik, there "customization options" are there but when I click on "Add Bookmark" nothing happen
[11:06] <lunitik> computer_: I tried right clicking around and see no option, similar result with Add Bookmark
[11:06] <tindo> can anyone tell me how to disable unity in ubuntu 11.10?
[11:06] <lunitik> tindo: I just did...
[11:06] <computer_> lunitik, well that would suck, CPU fan running very fast all the time and now no folder bookmarks
[11:06] <tindo> sorry didnt see your response
[11:07] <Yancho> guys - anyone can give me some clue about a virtual box image i upgraded to 11.10 please? after the upgrade its a black screen - did follow some help tips already, but when i execute startx i get:  Failed to load module vboxvide / fatal server error: no screens found: xinit: giving up | xinit: unable to connect to X server: connection refused | xinit: server error .. any ideas please?
[11:07] <tindo> gnome 2 still working?
[11:07] <lunitik> computer_: I have noticed that suspend doesn't work either...
[11:07] <lunitik> tindo: no... you would recommend you give xfce and xubuntu-desktop-settings a try... it'll be similar
[11:08] <computer_> lunitik, I works really good for me
[11:08] <lunitik> You can prolly just 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop-settings'
[11:08] <computer_> I=It
[11:08] <lunitik> computer_: well, but it is no longer supported upstream... that is why Unity happened in the first place, differences of opinion during the port to gtk3 and gnome3
[11:09] <lunitik> Instead of compromise and unity, both have gone entirely to their own ideas... eventually they outta see what works best in each.
[11:09] <tolecnal> Hello there, just did an upgrade from 10.04 to 11.10 on a box, and everything seems to working good apart from mysql. I've done a Google search, and see that quite a few others suffer from the same problem.  The problem resides with apparmor, and it's policies with mysql. The error is as follows:
[11:09] <tindo> ok thanks.. how do i install xfc?
[11:09] <tolecnal> apparmor="DENIED" operation="mknod" parent=2968 profile="/usr/sbin/mysqld" name="/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock" pid=2969 comm="mysqld" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c"
[11:09] <computer_> Sorry lunitik what did you say isn't supported up stream anymore?
[11:09] <lunitik> tindo: again, I told you... sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop-settings or just xubuntu-desktop
[11:10] <lunitik> computer_: gnome2.0
[11:10] <tolecnal> and according the apparmor man page, a confined process can't execute commands such as 'mknod' which mysql does when it starts up
[11:10] <tindo> sorry lumitik i've got like 3 things going on at the same time and i missed it again
[11:10] <tolecnal> thus, it can't create the socket, failing to start up mysql.. does anyone have any pointers on how I am to proceed?
[11:10] <computer_> lunitik, oh sure, I am cool with that
[11:11] <lunitik> tolecnal: read about how to add an allow value for the same
[11:12] <lunitik> tolecnal: idk the tools ubuntu uses to define apparmor rules, but there must be directions on how to
[11:12] <computer_> I will just be patient and make do in the meantime
[11:12] <tolecnal> lunitik: I've read the man pages, and read the wiki entry on apparmor, and none give me any indications as to how I should allow this
[11:13] <lunitik> computer_: in the time you took to decide, you could been fiddling with xfce to see if you like it
[11:13] <Engonyr> How do I empty my recent activity or disable it?
[11:13] <Engonyr> in Unity
[11:13] <tolecnal> lunitik: and seeing as the man page also states that programs running under apparmors watch can't execute mknod and similar system commands, I must admit I'm somewhat at a loss
[11:13] <lunitik> computer_: unity is pretty nice though, just remember the system apps are a .2 atm
[11:13] <computer_> lunitik, I have looked at it a few times but I think I prefer unity and where they are headed with it
[11:14] <jfb_h20> hey all, I'd like to do a fresh install of ubuntu, and I'd like to have more or less 'virgin' settings for desktop configs, so which of the .gnome  .whatever config directories should I delete?
[11:14] <computer_> lunitik, do you mean .2 beta?
[11:14] <jfb_h20> my home is on it's own partition...
[11:14] <lunitik> tolecnal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor
[11:14] <jrib> jfb_h20: all of them?
[11:14] <lunitik> computer_: no, Ubuntu and Gnome cycles are basically synced
[11:15] <jfb_h20> jrib, no, there's many that are for software
[11:15] <jrib> jfb_h20: like what?  A fresh account will only have what's in /etc/skel
[11:15] <computer_> lunitik, okay, what does the .2 mean then?
[11:15] <jrib> jfb_h20: oh I see, you want only settings for your desktop
[11:15] <lunitik> computer_: ie, Ubuntu released when 3.2 was packaged
[11:15] <jfb_h20> jrib: yes.\
[11:16] <jfb_h20> maybe I can just cp /etc/skel into my home directory and overwrite anything existing?
[11:16] <lunitik> computer_: means still immature, things missing from the port
[11:16] <jrib> jfb_h20: nope
[11:16] <computer_> lunitik, oh okay, thanks
[11:16] <Engonyr> How do I erase my recent activity in Unity and how do I disable it altogether?
[11:16] <vega-> jfb_h20: /etc/skel doesn't contain anything related to gnome or the desktop
[11:16] <lunitik> computer_: so if you don't REALLY need those features, I would recommending prodding around and see if you really need them at this time
[11:16] <jfb_h20> right, infact I don't want to overwrite .bashrc ;)
[11:17] <erase> Engonyr, you called?
[11:17] <Engonyr> erase: I actually said the word erase in my question. Sorry.
[11:17] <jfb_h20> so where do things like the settings for the panel, nautilus, etc. reside?
[11:17] <erase> PEOPLE. DON'T SAY ERASE.
[11:17] <erase> thanks.
[11:17] <vega-> jfb_h20: might be .config
[11:17] <arghx> erase: get a better nick :P
[11:17] <Engonyr> erase: and adjust your notification settings
[11:18] <arghx> jfb_h20: ls -al ~/.* there
[11:18] <computer_> Cool thanks lunitik
[11:19] <jfb_h20> arghx: so can I get ride of things like gnome-control-center gnome-disk-utility menus nautilus etc in that directory?
[11:20] <ghabit> is it ok so low resolution sound indicator - http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/163/20111019125604.png/ ?
[11:20] <tolecnal> lunitik: I've read that, and I got to admit that it hasn't exactly made me wiser. I could disable apparmor for mysql alltogether, but as the idea behind apparmor is one that actually is sane, I'd rather not disable it (even if it's only for mysql)
[11:20] <Engonyr> nevermind, already found the solution. Activity Log Manager.
[11:21] <lunitik> tolecnal: no, just the rule that it isn't permitting atm... you should be able to edit that... the config should show tools to do so, and the actual files involved
[11:21]  * lunitik doesn't really like AppArmor... there is a reason Novell dropped it after acquiring the company that made it
[11:22] <Rods_Tiger> what use is the 'startup applications' thing? I click on 'add', and there's no apps visible.
[11:22] <lunitik> Hint: They made SELinux a major feature of their last enterprise version
[11:22] <Rods_Tiger> if I then click 'browse', there's all my documents, but still no apps.
[11:23] <lunitik> Rods_Tiger: you can hit "/" to type a path to an app
[11:23] <jrib> tolecnal: I don't know if it's related, but did you follow the release notes suggestion regarding apparmor for upgrades?
[11:23] <Rods_Tiger> How do I get it to show me the apps folder, so that I can then add an app so that it will start up with it?
[11:23] <lunitik> Rods_Tiger: "/usr/bin" enter
[11:23] <lunitik> Rods_Tiger: but you prolly just wanna type /usr/bin/appname there
[11:24] <Rods_Tiger> I want to use the startup applications to add an app, but there's no apps visible to click on
[11:24] <tolecnal> lunitik: well, /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysql has this (http://pastebin.com/XLC7dFR4), which I understand is permissions which are permissive. And the paths are correct, yet I'm getting errors. And *again*, the man page states that confined processes can't use system commands such as 'mknod'.
[11:24] <lunitik> Rods_Tiger: still, it doesn't list the stuff that runs as part of gnome-session anymore  :(
[11:24] <tolecnal> jrib: I did not see any release notes about this during the upgrade, so I'm not aware of any notes
[11:24] <Rods_Tiger> it doesn't seem to list anything at all
[11:24] <ntelford> where's a good place to report bugs for the Compiz Window Placement plugin under Unity? (e.g. Ctrl + Alt + NumPad shortcuts)
[11:24] <jrib> !notes | tolecnal
[11:24] <lunitik> Rods_Tiger: It assumes you know what you're doing... I just told you what to do
[11:25] <Rods_Tiger> I know what I'm doing. I want to add tomboy. Where's the icon for tomboy when I click 'add'?
[11:25] <dr_willis> !startup
[11:25] <Sidewinder1> !launchpad > ntelford
[11:25] <tolecnal> jrib: nothing specific there about mysql as far as I can see
[11:26] <dr_willis> I think theres ~/.config/autostart/    also
[11:26] <lunitik> Rods_Tiger: then in the command space enter /usr/bin/tomboy
[11:26] <jrib> tolecnal: it is for any custom policies you may have
[11:26] <ntelford> hmm
[11:26] <Sahan76> Hi experts. I'm using ubuntu 10.04. I hot the error hd0,7 out of disk grub rescue>.So I read on this on the net and typed command ls (hd0,7)/boot/grub . It have of huge list. Then I typed set prefix=(hd0,7)/boot/grub. Then insmod linux. But it again gives me error hd0,7 out of disk. Now i don't know what to do. Please help me.;-]
[11:26] <lunitik> Rods_Tiger: It should be more obvious, but it isn't
[11:26] <dr_willis> if you find the tomboy.desktop file Rods_Tiger  you could copy it to ~/.config/autostart also
[11:26] <Rods_Tiger> that page with the screenshot of startup applications doesn't resemble mine. That one has a list of apps, and some tabs. Mine doesn't.
[11:26] <raven> 10.04 netboot does not load anything - any ideas?
[11:27] <dr_willis> Rods_Tiger:  it may be outdated or for the lts version
[11:27] <Rods_Tiger> how can it be outdated? this ubuntu was just released wasn't it?
[11:27] <s1> !nomodeset | raven
[11:27] <dr_willis> Rods_Tiger:  the docs/website may be outdated
[11:28] <Rods_Tiger> that's ridiculous
[11:28] <Rods_Tiger> how can that be?
[11:28] <lunitik> Rods_Tiger: because you are using 11.10
[11:28] <raven> s1 no it stops at this blue screen with grey border at the bottom
[11:28] <dr_willis> docs were written for an earlier ubuntu version......
[11:28] <Rods_Tiger> I know I'm using 11.10
[11:28] <dr_willis> is that so hard to understand
[11:28] <Rods_Tiger> it is incredibly hard to understand
[11:28] <ghabit> is it ok so low resolution sound indicator - http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/163/20111019125604.png/ ?
[11:28] <Travis-42> Since upgrading to 11.10, I get the following dpkg errors every time I run apt-get. any ideas? http://pastebin.com/sFacceYJ
[11:28] <dr_willis> 11.10 has changed a lot of things... not all the docs/wiki/factoids have been updated.
[11:28] <Rods_Tiger> the documentation should track the release
[11:28] <s1> ghabit: was this after a fresh installation or after upgrading ! .
[11:28] <lunitik> Rods_Tiger: That is the full version from gnome2... now you have as far as the port to gnome3 has gotten
[11:29] <dr_willis> Rods_Tiger:  which release? theres the lts, the current, the one befor now which is still valid....
[11:29] <tolecnal> jrib: ah, the sed one liner fixed it.. cheers! :)
[11:29] <Rods_Tiger> I said. The one that was released a few days ago
[11:29] <Rods_Tiger> 11.10
[11:29]  * lunitik followed and answered
[11:29] <dr_willis> Rods_Tiger:   it would be more logical for the docs to stick with the LTS version since it wont change in 6 mo. :)
[11:29] <Rods_Tiger> The help button on startup application seems to fail. I get this: Document Not Found
[11:29] <Rods_Tiger> The URI ‘ghelp:user-guide?gosstartsession-2#gosstartsession-2’ does not point to a valid page.
[11:30] <Sahan76>
[11:30] <Rods_Tiger> I'd be more logical for new users if the documentation matched what they were using.
[11:30] <Rods_Tiger> and if the help button worked.
[11:30] <josephseraos> Hi there. Yesterday I put my computer up to date. It's 10.04 LTS, and the last update was about xserver. But after this, 3D efects was disabled. What could happened?
[11:30] <jrib> tolecnal: no problem
[11:30] <Rods_Tiger> and if I could click on an icon of an app to add it to startup
[11:30] <dr_willis> Rods_Tiger:  depens on which docs you are refering to.. Im talking about the web sites. I havent even looked at the included gnome docs.
[11:31] <Sahan76> help me.
[11:31] <dr_willis> but this is getting beyond tech support. i guess.
[11:31] <dr_willis> Sahan76:  and the issue is?
[11:31] <lunitik> Rods_Tiger: you can assist with the docs getting up to date if you'd like to reflect current status, no one else has yet
[11:31] <Rods_Tiger> excellent - I will.
[11:31] <dr_willis> !manual
[11:31] <Rods_Tiger> how do I write the new docs
[11:31] <tindo> sorry to be a pain in the ass but i cant get xfc to install... any ideas?
[11:31] <chee> hi. if lspci nor lsusb show any sign of a wifi card, does this mean there is no wifi card in the machine?
[11:31] <dr_willis> the ubuntu manual was wanting help the other day for updateing their project Rods_Tiger
[11:31] <llutz_> chee: most likely
[11:32] <chee> while preparing your answer for that, note that the result of
[11:32] <Ibis> chee: Try enabling wifi first on your laptop keyboard.
[11:32] <lunitik> Rods_Tiger: Simply sign up for a lp account, and log into the wiki with it... it will let you edit pages but not on help.ubuntu.com (that is more for completed works)
[11:32] <chee> 'rfkill list'
[11:32] <chee> prints
[11:32] <Travis-42> I keep getting dpkg errors about dictionaries-common -- http://pastebin.com/sFacceYJ -- Can I remove this in Ubuntu 11.10?
[11:32] <chee> 0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
[11:32] <chee> followed by two entries
[11:32] <chee> Soft blocked: no, and Hard blocked: no
[11:32] <jfb_h20> dr_willis: are updates to the manual getting reflected in the online documentation>
[11:32] <s1> raven: i see , mostly the issue is related to the hardware Graphic card , i had this issue once and i pass'd it with " nomodeset " boot option.
[11:32] <Rods_Tiger> great. I see your policy of recruiting people who have no idea what to do to actually write the manual is in full swing. I'll sign up and rewrite everything according to my user experience so far.
[11:32] <lunitik> Rods_Tiger: Uses same system as for example wikipedia, very easy to understand
[11:33] <Rods_Tiger> back in a minute, this shouldn't take long
[11:33] <Sahan76> grub rescue. It responds to ls  (hd0,7)/boot/grub command. But after set prefix and insmod linux it gives the error out of disk
[11:33] <tindo> any other shells i can install other then gnome and xfc? i really dont like unity
[11:33] <lunitik> Rods_Tiger: I am mostly pointing out that it is a community process, that means work that no one does doesn't get done
[11:33] <Ibis> tindo: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[11:33] <dr_willis> Rods_Tiger:  we are not recruiting.. you ASKED ....   Rods_Tiger | how do I write the new docs
[11:33] <tindo> thanks
[11:33] <Rods_Tiger> no, it was specifically suggested that I personally contribute
[11:34] <Ibis> tindo: Then log out, and switch to other desktop.          You can also do: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[11:34] <lunitik> Rods_Tiger: Certainly, but if you cannot, then you will have to wait for someone else to do it instead
[11:34] <Rods_Tiger> great idea - someone asks for help, points out that there is no help in the docs, so why not get that person to write them,
[11:34] <Rods_Tiger> no, I can - I'll make some thing up
[11:34] <raven> s1 seems more that it does not load anything from the network - network card is idle
[11:34] <tindo> unable to locate xbuntu-desktop
[11:34] <fabiand> good day . is someone from pocl around?
[11:34] <jfb_h20> Rods_Tiger: what was your original question?
[11:34] <Ibis> tindo: xubuntu-desktop
[11:34] <lunitik> Rods_Tiger: Firstly, I have told you how to accomplish what you want, second, you are the one that pointed out the complatency with the docs
[11:35] <josephseraos> hi
[11:35] <tindo> ah spelling error lol
[11:35] <chee> Ibis: i try that. the light remains unlit over here
[11:35] <Rods_Tiger> my original question was that when I open startup apps, there's no list of apps - no icons to click on, no names of apps, nothing.
[11:35] <lunitik> Rods_Tiger: I have said simply add /usr/bin/tomboy to the command textbox
[11:35] <chee> Ibis: though note again that 'rfkill list' returns '0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN; Soft blocked: no; Hard blocked: no'
[11:35] <jfb_h20> and when you click add?
[11:35] <Rods_Tiger> then when I click on browse, it doesn't show me any apps, it shows me the inside of my documents folder
[11:36] <kamilnadeem> hi
[11:36] <Rods_Tiger> there's no apps folder
[11:36] <kamilnadeem> anyone who uses gnome shell here ?
[11:36] <dr_willis> linux dosent use an 'apps' folder methodology..
[11:36] <Ibis> !ask | kamilnadeem
[11:36] <lunitik> Rods_Tiger: get out of browse... the textbox next to browse... enter /usr/bin/tomboy
[11:36] <lunitik> Rods_Tiger: whatsoever you like for name and description, irrelevant
[11:36] <jfb_h20> Rods_Tiger: yes, this is where linux is still 'commandish', you could browse to /usr/bin
[11:37] <kamilnadeem> I am having problems accesing startup applications ?
[11:37] <jfb_h20> Rods_Tiger: but it is easier to just enter the command and make a description you like (this is freedom)
[11:37] <dr_willis> theres also the /usr/share/applications/tomboy.desktop
[11:37] <kamilnadeem> where is it?
[11:37] <perlsyntax> I useing ubuntu 10.04.3 and i try to do this apt-get builde-dep and i get a error way is that for?
[11:37] <Rods_Tiger> no it isn't easier, it's easier to see icons
[11:37] <lunitik> kamilnadeem: power-spanner-thing > startup applications
[11:37] <jfb_h20> Rods_Tiger: point taken, for some it is easier.
[11:38] <DigiGram> I like a joint venture between gui and cli
[11:38] <perlsyntax> does anyone know?
[11:38] <dr_willis> I just drag/drop from /usr/share/applications to ~/.confign/autostart   :)
[11:38] <DigiGram> makes life easier for scripting and quick jobs to cli
[11:38] <Sahan76> help me. I'm stuck at grub rescue.
[11:38] <lunitik> Rods_Tiger: the tool was slapped together so the functionality is at least there... I have told you how to use that functionality
[11:38] <DigiGram> but gui just to make you feel up to date with others
[11:38] <jfb_h20> Rods_Tiger: regardless, the point is Name and Description are up to you, the command needs to refer to the program command.
[11:38] <perlsyntax> does anyone know??
[11:38] <s1> raven: was this after an upgrade or a fresh installation!
[11:38] <kamilnadeem> Sahan76 search suer grub disk on the net
[11:38] <Rods_Tiger> I've browsed to usr/bin and I can see lots of apps and lots of nonsense apps that I didn't install. Tomboy is there, but its icon looks wrong - looks like a text document.
[11:38] <kamilnadeem> download rescutax
[11:39] <lunitik> perlsyntax: because you can't spell
[11:39] <Akima> I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.  Recently an update for the Package 'xserver-xorg-core' was rolled out.  This update has broken compiz desktop effects on my machine.  How do I role back to the previous version (version 1.7.6-2ubuntu7.6)?
[11:39] <jfb_h20> Rods_Tiger: which you can find in a terminal by typing 'which tomboy' for example
[11:39] <kamilnadeem> make the live usb and reinstall grub
[11:39] <Rods_Tiger> no thanks
[11:39] <dr_willis> Rods_Tiger:  because its actually a python script perhaps..
[11:39] <perlsyntax> lunitik,Maybe your rude.
[11:39] <perlsyntax> lol
[11:39] <dr_willis> or is tomboy in .mono  i forget..
[11:39] <Rods_Tiger> doesn't matter what it is, I've selected it and added it
[11:39] <lunitik> perlsyntax: sudo apt-get build-deps firefox for instance gets you the build reqs for firefox... I think you're supposed to be bzr lp:~ubuntu/firefox now though
[11:39] <raven> s1 i am trying to install a new system without usb support since two days
[11:40] <kamilnadeem> luntik (I am using Shell in Sabayon so I want a way of Shell)
[11:40]  * jfb_h20 has gone to upgrade to 11.10
[11:40] <Ibis> kamilnadeem: Version of Ubuntu you're using?
[11:40] <perlsyntax> i know how to do it it in 10.10 but not in 10.04.3
[11:40] <lunitik> kamilnadeem: sabayon isn't ubuntu, it is #gentoo
[11:40] <Zypeh> does anyone have a tutorial for the FVWM??
[11:41] <s1> raven: how!
[11:41] <Rods_Tiger> I'll test it now, see if it starts up when I start up
[11:41] <kamilnadeem> Yeah I came in the wrong place
[11:41] <dr_willis> Zypeh:  the old window manager? should be all sorts of docs out for it. what are you trying to do?
[11:41] <kamilnadeem> Thanks
[11:41] <perlsyntax> imaybe no one know in here.
[11:41] <perlsyntax> maybe no one knows.
[11:41] <scarleo> perlsyntax: know what?
[11:41] <kamilnadeem> Although I have ran Gnome Shell on Ubuntu 11.10 and It is great
[11:41] <kamilnadeem> :)
[11:41] <kamilnadeem> It is also my main system
[11:42] <dabukalam> in marvick i used to do a sudo service gdm restart to restart gnome. But ever since unity that's stopped working. Any alternatives?
[11:42] <kamilnadeem> Bye
[11:42] <Zypeh> dr_willis, i want to try some FVWM
[11:42] <scarleo> dabukalam: maybe you are running lightdm now?
[11:42] <dr_willis> Zypeh:  install it, should be a session for it at the login screen.
[11:42] <dabukalam> dabukalam, i'm on oneiric
[11:42] <perlsyntax> scarleo,I try to do this. apt-get build-dep emacs23 and i get a error.
[11:42] <lunitik> dabukalam: should be lightdm instead now... I usually just /etc/init.d/lightdm restart tho
[11:42] <Zypeh> dr_willis, ya i konw
[11:42] <lunitik> dabukalam: same thing, idk, just another way
[11:42] <scarleo> perlsyntax: an error?
[11:42] <perlsyntax> yes a error
[11:42] <dabukalam> scarleo, lunitik, i'll try that
[11:43] <perlsyntax> maybe it a bug
[11:43] <Zypeh> dr_willis, i just want to learn FVWM
[11:43] <Ibis> perlsyntax: Describing the issue is a good idea. What is you exact error message?
[11:43] <lunitik> Zypeh: is FVWM even alive anymore?
[11:43] <Ibis> perlsyntax: You said "builde-dep"               <------------- Spell check helps.
[11:43] <dr_willis> Zypeh:  check out its homepage and docs I guess.. not a lot to learn about if i rember right.
[11:43] <scarleo> perlsyntax: well, would you mind terribly specifying what error?
[11:44] <dr_willis> I seem to recall some fvwm variants still being worked on. metisse perhaps?
[11:44] <Zypeh> dr_willis: ya, i saw before
[11:44] <lunitik> Zypeh: there were lots of docs on www.fvwm.org last I checked... never liked it much visually tho... very configurable
[11:44] <dr_willis> brb
[11:45] <dispi> ohno, backlog got filled, wonder if anyone answered my question so will post it again since no visibility: hello! have problem with sound since updating to 11.10, lenovo r61i laptop speakers play music but headphone jack does not http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=6241afac06bea3182425e8a60540c27e5e15123a this i got. help! (my speakers are damaged too)
[11:46] <Ibis> Hey I have a super problem but I dun wanna post the error message I just saw a few minutes ago!11
[11:46] <scarleo> perlsyntax: you know, when asking for help it always helps giving as much relevant info as possible, your error message might be considered to be relevant
[11:46] <lunitik> Ibis: well then it will be difficult to help
[11:46] <Ibis> scarleo: Lol, perlsyntax is gone.
[11:46] <LjL> does Universal USB Installer just put the .iso inside the filesystem like Unetbootin does, or does it wipe your card?
[11:46] <scarleo> Ibis: :)
[11:47] <Ibis> lunitik: Then I can just repeat the same exact question until I get an answer from a psychic.
[11:47] <lunitik> LjL: no reason to guess when the sys will tell you... if the answer is yes, it will be listed as a loop via mount()
[11:48] <MaxFrames> hello
[11:48] <lunitik> Also, it won't touch your data without a request to do so
[11:48] <Ibis> Hi MaxFrames.
[11:48] <lunitik> Ibis: might be time consuming  :P
[11:48] <ghabit> What is BRAID letters @ software-center?
[11:48] <MaxFrames> oneiric is a no go on my eeepc :(
[11:49] <MaxFrames> it's painfully slow, whereas 11.04 was acceptable
[11:49] <Saw> hi. I'm having troubles reseting my password. Usually I just got into recovery mode root, but this time it required password too. So I found at ubuntu website another way; using init=/bin/bash. I did it, but now I don't have the passwd utility anywhere.
[11:49] <Ibis> ghabit: http://blog.canonical.com/2011/06/07/ubuntu-software-center-adds-braid/          <------- Look here.
[11:49] <MaxFrames> and I have mouse pointer freezes
[11:49] <LjL> lunitik: i'm using it from Windows though
[11:49] <Ibis> That's what Braid is.
[11:49] <Saw> Any other way to edit password (or even create new user without any password) ?
[11:50] <usr13> dispi: What do you mean, speakers are damaged too?
[11:50] <MaxFrames> what's up with ubuntu getting more and more resource demanding? old versions used to run just fine on this tiny netbook
[11:50] <lunitik> ghabit: take a look at http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/ubuntu-software-center-lets-you-test.html ... it is directions to make it possible to test drive apps that are curios before you install
[11:50] <MonkeyDust> MaxFrames: try easy peasy
[11:50] <lunitik> LjL: #windows
[11:50] <usr13> !password | Saw
[11:51] <LjL> lunitik: when the very ubuntu.com page gives instructions for using it, no, i don't think that should be in #windows
[11:51] <MaxFrames> MonkeyDust: is that an ubuntu fork?
[11:51] <ghabit> lunitik, Ibis, when i'm clicking @ that thing, nothing happens.
[11:51] <alias_ln> firefox error loading...: Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.
[11:51] <MonkeyDust> MaxFrames: it's eeeBuntu (sort of)
[11:51] <theadmin> alias_ln: Delete ~/.mozilla and try again
[11:51] <Saw> ubottu - done and done. Still nothing. (that is, I don't remember the root password either. And that link si what I was talking about)
[11:51] <alias_ln> thanks
[11:51] <vega-> funny thing, when booting with recovery mode there's an option soon after to "drop to root shell", which prompts for root password... which ubuntu doesn't assign, clever
[11:51] <lunitik> ghabit: what irc client?
[11:51] <Ibis> ghabit: Yea, and now I gave you the link to that webpage for Braid, you can now click to add.
[11:51] <Saw> usr13 xD
[11:51] <usr13> alias_ln: What do you see in .mozilla/firefox  ...or yea, just delete it and it will be re-created
[11:52] <MaxFrames> I see... well, worth a try I guess
[11:52] <lunitik> ghabit: xchat variants should be right click > open in browser
[11:52] <MaxFrames> pity to lose all my settings though
[11:52] <usr13> Saw: No joy?
[11:52] <ghabit> lunitik, i mean BRAID picture @ software-center.
[11:52] <ghabit> )
[11:53] <Saw> usr13 - I wrote the response to the bot.. xD " done and done. Still nothing. (that is, I don't remember the root password either. And that link si what I was talking about)"
[11:53] <ghabit> It is like BIG banner @ top of software-center.
[11:53] <Ibis> ghabit: I just gave you the link. Now from that page you can download it.
[11:53] <mrwizeguy1983> more lovely issues with 11.10:  I seem to have lost system tray functionality, for skype and xchat etc.
[11:53] <mrwizeguy1983> anyone know how to fix that up?
[11:53] <ghabit> Thx!
[11:53] <usr13> Saw: What do you mean, root password?  Did you create a root password?  (Because normally, there isn't one.)
[11:54] <ghabit> One more question please - is it ok so low resolution sound indicator - http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/163/20111019125604.png/ ?
[11:54] <Saw> usr13 - I don't remember creating one. But when I go into recovery mode, then root, it says 'please enter root password for maintenance'.
[11:54] <MonkeyDust> mrwizeguy1983: you have to add apps in dconf, i forget which entry
[11:55] <Saw> btw, even though I can't find passwd, nor /sbin/passwd, nor /bin/passwd, nor /usr/bin/passwd, If I use ls -R | grep passwd it does find soemthing. I'm not expert on unix/linux though, how do I get the full path from it?
[11:55] <mrwizeguy1983> thanks MonkeyDust
[11:55] <MonkeyDust> mrwizeguy1983: sort of white list in dconf
[11:55] <raven> s1 i just tested it again after loading the release file it idles
[11:55] <usr13> Saw: If you have followed the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword and still can't recover, I don't know.  Accept that you could boot from the CD and use sudo to edit shadow file.
[11:55] <theadmin> Saw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword#The_Other_Way
[11:56] <mrwizeguy1983> that should be very helpful MonkeyDust thank you.  i wonder why it doesn't work by default after upgrading for 11.04 where it was working
[11:56] <MonkeyDust> i wonder too :)
[11:57] <Saw> usr13 - ok , different question then. How can I tell 'ls' command to write the full path of a file each time? such that if I use 'ls -R | grep passwd' i'll ge the full path?
[11:57] <theadmin> Saw: You could just use "which passwd" to tell the full path to the command
[11:57] <llutz_> saw find path/ -type f -iname passwd
[11:58] <Saw> theadmin - the system can't find the command, that is why i'm searching for it :P
[11:58] <theadmin> Saw: That means your system is pretty messed up...
[11:58] <Saw> llutz_ - find utility doesn't 'exists' either.
[11:58] <Saw> theadmin - yeah I know.
[11:58] <theadmin> Saw: You gotta reinstall
[11:58] <Saw> I entered using bash shell
[11:58] <llutz_> Saw: you are in grub-shell?
[11:58] <Anarasha> Hey everyone :) I have a problem. I just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. Everything worked fine on 11.04, but on 11.10, my Jack port doesn't seem to work. When I plug something into it, my internal speakers go silent as intended, but whatever I plugged in gives no sound. I run a laptop.
[11:58] <Saw> llutz - I entered using bah shell, into recovery mode. I think that what messed up everything.
[11:59] <theadmin> Saw: Is your /usr on a separate partition?
[11:59] <Saw> i'm trying to either create a user with an empty password, or reset a password for an existing user. I can't do any of it though.
[11:59] <MonkeyDust> Anarasha: in terminal, type alsamixer
[11:59] <Saw> theadmin - it's all virtual machine one disk, so no. But from some reason it's empty. I do know the command exists though, using 'ls -R | grep passwd' find some results, I'm just not sure where..
[12:00] <Anarasha> MonkeyDust - Okay, what now?
[12:00] <mrwizeguy1983> MonkeyDust, everything i can install under dconf is already installed, any ideas?  is it under dconf editor settings?  i saw something under unity2d called legacy tray, but didn't see anything under unity that was similar
[12:00] <Saw> oh, don't know if it's important, but i'm using ubuntu server edition 64bit.
[12:01] <hemza> I'm using ubuntu lucid, now I  want to upgrade to the latest release
[12:01] <rcmaehl> Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit. How do I remove all the ratings and play counts on a large number of songs in many directories but not any other metadata? Is there a command I run in terminal or a program I can install. I only want to remove rating and play count, absolutely no other metadata do I want to remove.
[12:01] <theadmin> hemza: You can only upgrade by upgrading to Maverick first, then Natty, and THEN Oneric.
[12:01] <theadmin> hemza: No fun, really, I suggest a reinstall
[12:01] <quzR> Hello
[12:02] <MonkeyDust> brb
[12:02] <mrwizeguy1983> ok, thanks for the lead
[12:02] <arfbtwn_> is anyone here using Lucid with the banshee-daily ppa enabled? I have it enabled but the version from it shows as 1.9x...
[12:03] <hemza> Ok. I know that i want to ask if Oneric work fast like lucid. i'm preparing my PhD and do not want to format my laptop ... theadmin
[12:03] <Anarasha> MonkeyDust - Everything in AlsaMixer is unmuted. Which one of them is supposed to be the jack?
[12:03] <Saw> theadmin - ok, I found passwd in /etc/passwd . I can't run it though, it says permission denied.
[12:03] <dr_willis> hemza:  maybe best to stick with what you got. unless you need the newer features
[12:03] <MonkeyDust> mrwizeguy1983: in dconf-editor, choose desktop-unity-panel, find the whitelist, you have to use single quotes
[12:04] <theadmin> Saw: That's not an executable file...
[12:04] <theadmin> Saw: Of course you can't run it
[12:04] <llutz_> Saw: /usr/bin/passwd, /etc/passwd is the file holding users
[12:04] <varikonniemi> why does an ubuntu alternate install take so much longer than noemal? i find this disturbing since i want to install to raid, and must use alternate for that, no?
[12:04] <llutz_> (more or less)
[12:04] <Saw> ha, that's right. agrh. I even displayed it before.
[12:04] <dr_willis> varikonniemi:  i cant recall ever seeing it taking longer.
[12:04] <MonkeyDust> Anarasha: can't say, it was a mere hint
[12:05] <usr13> Saw: You might try and  edit /etc/shadow  go to original user and delete all between first and second colons (:)
[12:05] <sproaty> Any idea how to get the windows-like start menu back in 11.10? I've installed gnome-panels-classic and my 'start' menu is split into applications/places - in 11.04 I had a little icon with everything unified
[12:05] <Anarasha> Every bar has the sign 00 on it when unmuted and MM when muted. But PCM doesn't have either one of those, it's simply blank
[12:05] <varikonniemi> dr_willis, 11.04 took nearly an hour on alternate, under 15 minutes on normal
[12:05] <rcmaehl> sproaty: try kubuntu?
[12:05] <Anarasha> Do you think that could have anything to say?
[12:05] <sproaty> rcmaehl, nah...I'm assuming it's there *somewhere* if it was available in 11.04
[12:06] <hemza> I have some problems with my toshiba A200 laptop, it shutdown suddenly when the processor work hard
[12:06] <usr13> Saw: More-than-likely, only the original user has admin priviledges and so that is the one you need.
[12:06] <Saw> usr13 - anyway to create new user editing the file rather than editing?
[12:06] <dr_willis> varikonniemi:  could be some bug in the kernel/drivers.. mine was faster i recall.. but now a days. i install from a iso off the first hd.. so my installs are amazing fast. :)
[12:06] <rcmaehl> sproaty: yeah with a heck of a lot of configuration file changes and package removals/installs
[12:06] <Saw> usr13 - I just want any user, so I can login into my normal shell with all the commands. At least for nwo, anyway.
[12:07] <Anarasha> Hey everyone :) I have a problem. I just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. Everything worked fine on 11.04, but on 11.10, my Jack port doesn't seem to work.
[12:07] <Anarasha> When I plug something into it, my internal speakers go silent as intended, but whatever I plugged in gives no sound. I run a laptop.
[12:07] <scarleo> hemza: overheating maybe, are your fans running? Have you cleaned your computer from dust?
[12:07] <Anarasha> Everything in AlsaMixer is unmuted except for PCM which doesn't have that option.
[12:07] <rcmaehl> Anarasha: define jack port
[12:07] <rcmaehl> as in the audio out?
[12:07] <Anarasha> The green, round thingymajig I plug external speakers or headphones into
[12:07] <usr13> Saw: I really dont' know why the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword#The_Other_Way  or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword  didn't work for you.  Did you do exactly as instructed?
[12:08] <Anarasha> Yeah, audio out
[12:08] <rcmaehl> Anarasha: can you screenshot your alsamixer?
[12:09] <Anarasha> Sure, hold on a sec
[12:09] <Saw> usr13 yes. First way didn't work because of the 'Give root password for maintenance'. Second way didn't work because I don't have any kernel in my boot list. Third way is where i'm at now, but there is no passwd utility from some reason.
[12:09] <Dan_E> I upgraded to 11.10 and now when I open or try to foward a e-mail or connect to xchat or mostly any other program all I get is a blank white screen?
[12:09] <hemza> scarleo, i guess that, and  try to open my laptop to clean the fans, but it is difficult to open it.
[12:09] <Saw> usr13 - well, there is one thing. At first I tried editing the 'normal' image (init=/bin/bash) and entering it, but it just didn't run anything after I booted (F10 or ctrl-x). So I did the same fro the recovery mode and used it. I'm there now.
[12:09] <usr13> Saw: You don't have a kernel?
[12:09] <usr13> What?
[12:09] <smw> Why did ubuntu move /var/run to /run?
[12:10] <smw> Is there a reason they choose this?
[12:10] <rcmaehl> Dan_E: did you check for restricted drivers?
[12:10] <Dan_E> no but how do i do that?
[12:10] <Saw> usr13 - it's not listed. there are 4 entries in the list: (1) Ubuntu, with Linux .. (2) same thing, (recovery mode) (3) Memory test (4) Memory test with some extra details.
[12:10] <dabukalam> does compiz work on lightdm?
[12:10] <dabukalam> !lightdm
[12:10] <llutz_> smw: yes, it has to do with tmpfs. long discussion some time ago
[12:10] <alias_ln> Dan_E:  config your email/xchat
[12:10] <Anarasha> Rcmaehl - This is my Alsamixer: http://i55.tinypic.com/dxi8f7.png
[12:11] <smw> llutz_, link to discussion?
[12:11] <dr_willis> dabukalam:  why would it even need to>? :)
[12:11] <Travis-42> In Ubuntu 11.10, when I plug in an iPhone it asks me what I want to do for a device with photos (I chose "Do nothing"), and for a device with audio (again "Do Nothing"), but then it pops up a nautilus window with "Documents" on the iPhone.   You have been given adequate information, you just need to sort though it and puzzle it out.  Any more conversation will only cloud the issue.
[12:11] <dabukalam> dr_willis, wha?
[12:11] <dr_willis> dabukalam:  and yes - it should work with lightdm if it was calling for a window manager.
[12:11] <s1> raven: have you tried any of GRUB boot option parameters! .. am not sure what you mean by " loading the release file ".
[12:11] <rcmaehl> Disable automute
[12:11] <Saw> usr13 - "sort though" ? waht does it mean?
[12:11] <llutz_> smw: not off hand, try google. sry
[12:11] <dabukalam> dr_willis, oh you mean it has nothing to do with lightdm?
[12:12] <llutz_> smw: its not only ubuntu switching to /run
[12:12] <dr_willis> dabukalam:  lightdm  is just a special app that runs on top of X.
[12:12] <dabukalam> dr_willis, or that lightdm already has those features?
[12:12] <smw> llutz_, who else?
[12:12] <usr13> Saw: Read, follow instructions.
[12:12] <dabukalam> dabukalam, so it didn't replace gnome?
[12:12] <dr_willis> and X would be running compiz, or whatever as its wndow manager.
[12:12] <buzzkill> I am getting an error 'Could not find the release notes' when trying to use 'update-manager -c' is there another method to upgrade to 11.10?
[12:12] <dr_willis> dabukalam:  lightdm replaced GDM.
[12:12] <Saw> usr13 - anyway then yes, I did the second way. I entered using init=/bin/bash , and entered. no passwd, as I said. I am getting a few errors at the end, when booting it up though:
[12:12] <rcmaehl> Anarasha: then hold on while I look something up
[12:12] <llutz_> smw: at least debian
[12:13]  * dabukalam scratches head
[12:13] <dabukalam> okay....
[12:13] <Anarasha> rcmaehl - Thanks mate :) Much appreciated
[12:13] <theadmin> Saw: Eh, I have an idea here
[12:13] <smw> llutz_, ok
[12:13] <theadmin> Saw: Try this command: mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdXY /
[12:13] <smw> llutz_, I found a good explanation
[12:13] <theadmin> Saw: Where X is a letter and Y is a number, something like "sda1" maybe
[12:15] <usr13> theadmin: If he followed the instructions, "change the ro to rw", he would already have it mounted rw, Right?
[12:15] <Saw> user13 - "mount: you must specify the filesystem type". and btw, if I use mount --help to see the options, -o isn't one of them.. i'm gonna try play with it a bit I guess though.
[12:15]  * lunitik wonders when y became a number
[12:15] <hemza> tnx scarleo
[12:15] <Saw> usr13 - works!
[12:16] <usr13> Saw: Not only does that mean that the filesystem was not recognized.... ok got it..?
[12:16] <Saw> usr13 - I checked out the options, used 'mount -a' !
[12:16] <Saw> now everything is working :} thx man!
[12:16] <computer_> Wow so now I am trying to add my user to the vbox group via GUI and in 'User Accounts' there is no groups
[12:16] <scarleo> Is there no way to let the "return from screenlock login" look like the lightdm login?  If I cat the file in a terminal, it will display some of the file before finally breaking the cat, saying 'input/output error'
[12:16] <llutz_> computer_: sudo adduser user vboxusers
[12:16] <lunitik> Saw: allowing you to browse a CDROM in this instance
[12:17] <Dan_E> got it thanks rcmaehl
[12:17] <Saw> argh, almost working.
[12:17] <AFfo> I don't quite get what use suspend is if it fucks up file saves like this...
[12:17] <AFfo> If anyone has some ideas for recovering this data, would much appreciate it.
[12:17] <Saw> now passwd gives me an error when I try to change password:
[12:17] <Saw> "passwd: Authentication token manipulation error" "passwd: password unchanged"
[12:17] <lunitik> Saw: just make sure that 'else' is an empty dir
[12:17] <computer_> Thanks llutz so you can't do it by the GUI for now in 11.10?
[12:17] <Saw> lunitik - I managed to mount all the drives, got passwd now :}
[12:18] <theadmin> Saw: Okay, do just this: mount -o remount,rw /
[12:18] <llutz_> computer_: no idea, i dont use 11.10 and wouldn't ever use a GUI for this ;)
[12:18] <rcmaehl> Anarasha: yeah theres a bug report for your card. apparently you're not the only one with that problem with alsa.
[12:18] <theadmin> Saw: That error is obviously a filesystem write eror
[12:18] <theadmin> error*
[12:19] <Saw> theadmin - minute, I executed a 'find' command and ctrl-c won't stop it xD
[12:19] <Anarasha> rcmaehl: Does that mean I should just sit tight and wait for a fix? Or is there something I can do?
[12:19] <klawd> hi! i have a VM with ubuntu on it (didn't install it myself) when i go su someuser, it doesn't do anything. anyone know why this oculd be?
[12:19] <rcmaehl> Anarasha: you can try a different sound system
[12:19] <theadmin> klawd: Because Ubuntu doesn't actually use su, you should do this: sudo -u someuser -i
[12:19] <lunitik> Saw: sudo -i [enter] ... then passwd username (can add password here or enter and follow the prompt for hashtag typing of password)
[12:19] <plain-user> what fonts can i use in lirbe office that are similar to georgia or times new roman? or can i install them?
[12:19] <computer_> Yar no su in Ubuntu
[12:19] <scarleo> Saw: That error has lots of different causes, try google it, some suggest re-shadowing passwords
[12:19] <Anarasha> rcmaehl: What do you mean by sound system? Software? Or do you mean hardware?
[12:20] <klawd> theadmin: you mean it doesn't use root.. right?
[12:20] <lunitik> Saw: my way would just use root instead of the sudo env
[12:20] <scarleo> Saw: Ah, saw you solved it, great
[12:20] <mrwizeguy1983> MonkeyDust, i put 'all' in there as per a website i found, thanks very much
[12:20] <Piccolina> Привет.
[12:21] <Saw> well kind of. I'm still waiting on find to try remounting so passwd will work. But it looks good so far :}
[12:21] <rcmaehl> Anarasha: it's software but I'm probably not the best guy to walk you through a new sound system instal
[12:21] <theadmin> Piccolina: Русская поддержка в #ubuntu-ru, здесь, пожалуйста, на английском
[12:21] <rcmaehl> install*
[12:21] <MonkeyDust> mrwizeguy1983: but it is ok now?
[12:21] <scarleo> !ru | Piccolina
[12:21] <Anarasha> I'll figure it out. Do you have a name for a proper sound system? I'll work out how to install it on my own :)
[12:22] <hath001> hi all
[12:22] <buzzkill> I am getting an error 'Could not find the release notes' when trying to use 'update-manager -c' is there another method to upgrade to 11.10?
[12:23] <rcmaehl> Well there's OSS and pulseaudio for alternatives to alsa
[12:23] <theadmin> rcmaehl: pulseaudio isn't an alternative, it's sort of a buildup upon alsa
[12:23] <Saw> theadmin - mount -o remount, rw / works, thx :}
[12:23] <scarleo> buzzkill: Try another server
[12:23] <s1> buzzkill: update-manager -c , or -d !
[12:23] <Anarasha> Thanks mate, I appreciate your help a lot :) I'll look into that
[12:23] <hath001> i deleted mysql folder ,:( How can i receiver it??
[12:23] <Anarasha> Okay, I'll look into OSS then :)
[12:24] <Saw> thanks to everyone who helped btw, I believe i'll be able to login now :}
[12:24] <rcmaehl> Anarasha: no problem
[12:24] <rcmaehl> theadmin: true-ish
[12:24] <Leao> whats the graphical folder view command in terminal ?
[12:24] <theadmin> Leao: Wut?
[12:24] <dr_willis> Leao:  file manager is called 'nautilus'
[12:24] <RaTTuS|BIG> mc
[12:25] <Saw> works, awesome :} thanks guys, later all
[12:25] <Anarasha> Okay, according to this page I have found, the regular distro of Ubuntu does not support OSS sound system anymore
[12:25] <jellow> anyway to startx directly at boot without gdm or login/pass?
[12:25] <usr13>  Saw later
[12:25] <Leao> dr_willis,  thanks man
[12:25] <rcmaehl> O_o
[12:25] <conntrack> lol
[12:25] <dr_willis> !text | jellow
[12:25] <hath001> please how can i receiver mysql folder
[12:25] <dr_willis> jellow:  you want to boot to the console? or to X ?
[12:26] <Anarasha> Is there some way to roll back my system to 10.04? I'll just do that while waiting for a bug fix if possible :)
[12:26] <jellow> dr_willis: X
[12:26] <theadmin> hath001: The short answer is, you can't. The long answer is, you can try to use photorec to recover individual files, and then group them together into the same folder. Would take you about 5 years, though :P
[12:26] <dr_willis> jellow:  then let gdm, or lightdm autologin .. thats the easest way
[12:26] <rcmaehl> Anarasha: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DowngradeHowto
[12:26] <Anarasha> Thanks :)
[12:26] <hath001> :( that is bad news LOL
[12:27] <llutz_> hath001: restore from backup if databases were important. if not, create new
[12:27] <bbya> my firefox's suddenly turned grayscale ...is there a key combination to switch between grayscale and color?
[12:27] <Ibis> bbya: Visit #firefox please.
[12:27] <TehDGM> is it still responding though?
[12:27] <rcmaehl> Anarasha: wait
[12:27] <hath001> thanks
[12:27] <rcmaehl> that's old
[12:27] <bbya> TehDGM, it is responding perfectly
[12:27] <Ibis> bbya: Could be that your firefox is actually frozen. o_O
[12:27] <TehDGM> okey
[12:27] <dr_willis> compiz will 'grey out' a app window thats hung.
[12:28] <bbya> Ibis, since it is not frozen maybe I thought it was an Ubuntu color feature?
[12:28] <bbya> dr_willis, it's not hung
[12:29] <MonkeyDust> bbya: try deleting ./firefox, but i guess ALL your settings will be lost
[12:29] <dr_willis> bbya:  compiz also has some color changeing key combox that can work on a per window basis
[12:29] <bbya> dr_willis, oh cool
[12:29] <bbya> dr_willis, is there a shortcut for activating/deactivating it?
[12:29] <dr_willis> !ccsm
[12:29] <dr_willis> look in the ccsm tool.
[12:29] <computer_> Thanks llutz_
[12:29] <rcmaehl> Anarasha: the fastest way would be a live cd or usb
[12:30] <bbya> dr_willis, ok

[12:35] <RaTTuS|BIG> Mawaheb1 - download 11.10 cd image - and upgrade via that rather than do-release-upgrade ?
[12:35] <Ush4O> especially how to organize the iwconfig and wpa_supplicant commands
[12:35] <usr13> xdlg: Maybe this?:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntuone-client-gnome/+bug/865567
[12:35] <Mawaheb1> RaTTuS|BIG yes ...i know ...it's right ..but ..any way i need some way to bypass proxy ...you know ..i live in syria ..and sometimes govermnet blocks Facbook Youtube Social sites ..

[12:36] <RaTTuS|BIG> aha right - I dunno - tor ? maybe the way
[12:36] <usr13> Ush4O: What is it?
[12:37] <brondy> would an upgrade to 11.04 improve usb issues?

[12:40] <llutz_> Ush4O: proper way, if not using networmanager/wicd would be using /etc/network/interfaces

[12:42] <Guest17970> for latex math functions in mediawiki i need the package tetex-extra - but in ubuntu server natty release this package isn`t there anymore. the problem is, that my latex is missing AMS*  - i could not found a package giving latex that AMS* stuff. anyone got a hint?
[12:42] <RaTTuS|BIG> Mawaheb1 - look at ssh and tunnels - umm he gone?
[12:42] <usr13> as llutz_ suggests, just uninstall network-manager and use /etc/network/interfaces

[13:30] <hittt> purplefool: s1 helped you, not ubottu :P
[13:30] <sig09> hittt,  but  0 */5 * * *  root    /path/to/script  , works fine , i can see in the logs
[13:30] <mekwall> whenever I move a window it more or less stops updating
[13:31] <purplefool> hittt, lol! thx
[13:31] <iceroot> sig09: of course * */5 * * * is not working
[13:31] <sig09> iceroot,   0 */5 * * *
[13:31] <phlak_user> purplefool: first place to start is by looking at the logs like was suggested; tail -f /var/log/syslog while connecting the camera should give some more information
[13:31] <iceroot> sig09: that should work
[13:31] <purplefool> s1, those things were done...still no go
[13:31] <luigi69> Hi, i have a question... i wanted to install Apache,PHP,MySQL,phpmyadmin and tried with apt-get install, and now i want to uninstall them completly (folder, configs, related packeges - everything)... triend using apt-get --purge remove, but still php is avalible and also rest of the packages, how could i completly remove them ?
[13:32] <sig09> iceroot,   but it is not
[13:32] <iceroot> sig09: so its not running at 5:00, 10:00, 15:00 and 20:00 ?
[13:32] <arghx> purplefool: with the program "dmesg"
[13:32] <sig09> iceroot,  not et all
[13:32] <purplefool> phlak_user, this is a new command for me.  how does it work? just copy and paste?
[13:32] <iceroot> sig09: the system-time is correct?
[13:33] <ppcblaster> In my download folder I have Skype-ubuntu_<IP_ADDRESS>-1_amd64.deb  How do I install Please
[13:33] <iceroot> sig09: created with crontab -e or placed in /etc/cron.d/?
[13:33] <phlak_user> purplefool: it would work even if you typed it in a terminal window ;)
[13:33] <raven> how to activate tty7/login graphically via a ssh command?
[13:33] <Guest17079> luigi69, maybe php is still available in memory so you should restart your web server
[13:33] <sig09> iceroot,  system time is corrrect , it is in /etc/cron.d/
[13:33] <iceroot> ppcblaster: why not using skype from the repos?
[13:33] <iceroot> sig09: and you also set a user?
[13:34] <MonkeyDust> raven: try gnome-panel&
[13:34] <sig09> iceroot,  yes sure
[13:34] <ppcblaster> all I see is i386 and I have 64 os
[13:34] <luigi69> Guest17079 I want to uninstall apache wev server too
[13:34] <ppcblaster> please advise
[13:34] <iceroot> sig09: ah, when you are using a WRONG time-value in /etc/cron.d/ cron is detecting that and not checking that file any further until it is corrected
[13:34] <phlak_user> ppcblaster: sudo apt-get install skype
[13:34] <raven> MonkeyDust, will this work for a server configuration?
[13:34] <iceroot> sig09: there is also a syslog-entry about bad time identifier or something
[13:34] <ppcblaster> did you mean the software center?
[13:34] <iceroot> sig09: grep -ir bad /var/log/syslog  is showing a cron-entry?
[13:35] <sig09> iceroot,   i have even tested that the same with   *  *  *  *  *  root  /path/to/script
[13:35] <MonkeyDust> raven: if gnome-panel is installed
[13:35] <Pici> CaMason: I'm poking some devs about this, seeing if we can get this sorted.
[13:35] <Pici> CaMason: Thanks for  the detective work
[13:35] <MonkeyDust> raven: or is that not exactly what you mean?
[13:35] <purplefool> arghx, http://pastebin.com/LYpFFRbb for results from dmesg
[13:35] <phlak_user> ppcblaster: if you are comfortable with software center, sure, search for skype and click on install
[13:35] <CaMason> Pici thanks, and no problem
[13:35] <sig09> iceroot,   no  error in logs
[13:36] <raven> MonkeyDust, i am not sure its a server configuration which i should be able to remote-desktop (vnc) to when its necessary
[13:36] <Guest17079> i would like to get an azerty keyb but using : sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration my keyboard is still in qwerty in session mannager after rebooting using 11.10/64 is it a bug ?
[13:36] <iceroot> sig09: can you paste the complete file you created in /etc/cron.d/
[13:36] <iceroot> !paste | sig09
[13:36] <MonkeyDust> raven: ok, vnc, i thought ssh
[13:36] <phlak_user> Guest17079: go to System-Preferences-Keyboard and change the layout to the one you want
[13:37] <raven> MonkeyDust, ssh is possible always but the graphically session must be logged in to vnc to it
[13:37] <kitchen> what would be useful steps to determine what to blame for severe screen flicker from time to time (unity, xorg + fglrx, kernel)?
[13:37] <phlak_user> purplefool: looks like it can see your webcam -> uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Hercules Dualpix Exchange (06f8:3005)
[13:37] <MonkeyDust> raven: i think you must be logged in, to be able to use vnc
[13:38] <iceroot> raven: MonkeyDust you can use vnc without being logged in
[13:38] <phlak_user> MonkeyDust: not really; vncserver can run off a headless system
[13:38] <MonkeyDust> raven: ssh does not require to be logged in
[13:38] <MonkeyDust> ah ok
[13:38] <raven> iceroot, no you can't!
[13:38] <eN_Joy> hi all i just upgraded to 11.10 and it seems like i can't find libXt.so any more, what package should i apt-get? thanks
[13:38] <raven> iceroot, and exactly THAT is my problem
[13:38] <purplefool> phlak_user, yes, i can use it if i run from terminal or if i use guvcam or so, but using cheese or the integrated mic is not possible.
[13:39] <iceroot> raven: sure you can
[13:39] <compdoc> raven, you have to run vncserver to do that
[13:39] <Guest17079> phlak_user, in the system preferences, it is set to french (azerty) but the keyb is in qwerty for login and for "unity" but it is in azerty in tty....
[13:39] <luca> Hi everyone - could anyone tell me how to change the Ubuntu 11.10 interface to gnome+? Thanks!
[13:39] <sig09> iceroot,   http://paste.ubuntu.com/713211/
[13:39] <phlak_user> purplefool: run cheese from a terminal; you will probably see some messages that can provide an insight
[13:39] <bjorn`> How is UFW's support for modifying the forward chain? For example when routing between internal networks
[13:39] <jatt> you want to change the ubuntu 11.10 to google +? what does that mean?
[13:40] <Guest17079> tty = azerty / login screen + unity = qwerty
[13:40] <iceroot> sig09: looks good for me
[13:40] <purplefool> phlak_user, http://pastebin.com/iRQp5uw4 from terminal run of cheese
[13:40] <s1> luca: install gnome-shell.
[13:40] <iceroot> sig09: no entry in syslog about crond which is running that script?
[13:40] <sig09> iceroot,  no
[13:40] <deej1976> luca: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/gnome-shell-ubuntu-11-10-guide/
[13:40] <luca> s1: thanks. Will I then have the option to log on differently, like in previous versions?
[13:41] <Demonicpagan> question: when i go to install ubuntu on a 2nd HDD on my system (1 drive houses windows7, 1 ubuntu) what do i want to choose for the installation of the boot loader?
[13:41] <sig09> iceroot,  one min
[13:41] <luca> deej1976: thanks also
[13:41] <|-_-|> hey
[13:41] <s1> luca: thats right.
[13:41] <luca> s1: excellent, ta very much
[13:42] <sig09> iceroot,   http://paste.ubuntu.com/713215/     <- this works
[13:42] <iceroot> sig09: grep -ir crond /var/log/syslog
[13:42] <arghx> purplefool: ls -l /dev/*video*  I think they are named videoX in /dev
[13:42] <sig09> iceroot,   i have greped the same , :)
[13:42] <iceroot> sig09: hm ok
[13:42] <arghx> purplefool: and you might be able to switch in cheese between various versions. also, have you rebooted since it stopped working?
[13:43] <iceroot> sig09: i dont see the error, sorry
[13:43] <s1> !notunity > luca
[13:43] <Demonicpagan> should i select /dev/sda (windows7 drive), /dev/sdb (ubuntu drive with an ntfs partition for storage), or /dev/sdb2 (root mount point for ubuntu)?
[13:43] <deej1976> luca: also "sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback"
[13:43] <purplefool> arghx, yes, rebooted at least 3 times during my attempt to diagnose problem.
[13:43] <_spt_> Hi folks, Is there an issue with the mouse lacking of response in 11.10? I had the same issue in 11.04 and thought I was a tep problem - any one?
[13:43] <sig09> iceroot,  no issues
[13:43] <purplefool> arghx, output is: crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 2011-10-19 14:45 /dev/video0
[13:44] <luca> thanks s1 and deej1976
[13:44] <arghx> purplefool: looks fine. video0 = first video in device
[13:44] <arghx> purplefool: and the output of cheese you pasted earlier looks fine too. no errors about opening or accessing the device
[13:44] <luigi69> which is better to use apt-get or aptitude ?
[13:45] <purplefool> no, but there are errors and i thought they might have something to do with problem getting cam to really work.
[13:45] <jatt> aptitude
[13:45] <purplefool> arghx, how do i open /dev/video0?
[13:47] <ppcblaster> installed skype from ubuntu software center and it don't work, icon moves but never starts
[13:47] <fritsch> ppcblaster: start skype from a terminal
[13:48] <fritsch> ppcblaster: perhaps it tells you what is wrong
[13:48] <ppcblaster> how
[13:48] <mekwall> ok, I fixed the moving windows issue... but have no idea how :D
[13:48] <phlak_user> purplefool: just to validate, can you start cheese with sudo i.e. sudo cheese
[13:49] <jellow> ppcblaster:: alt+f2 type in gnome-terminal then type skype
[13:50] <purplefool> phlak_user, yes i can and the video function actually works then too.  however, the microphone is still out.
[13:50] <phlak_user> purplefool: if cheese works with su then its a matter of group membership of your user to video
[13:51] <jellow> ppcblaster: alt+f2 type in gnome-terminal press enter and then inside terminal type skype and press enter or go via the menu
[13:51] <MonkeyDust> jellow: ctrl-alt t is faster to get a terminal
[13:51] <purplefool> phlak_user, it also works without sudo, but video doesn't record and microphone wont work either
[13:51] <snuggl> ubuntu 11.10 server install fails with a message about PAE
[13:51] <snuggl> it is supposed to be installable without network atm?
[13:51] <jellow> MonkeyDust: New to me thanks.
[13:52] <ghabit> Hello. Is it ok so low resolusion sound notification? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/163/20111019125604.png/
[13:52] <ghabit> How to fix it?
[13:52] <purplefool> phlak_user, the main thing is trying the get 'full cam' support like before.  i don't know if i messed it up by installing another webcam or if updating caused the problem.
[13:53] <ppcblaster> ok skype popped up and I logged in,will it launch from the launch bar now?
[13:53] <ppcblaster> I don't know where to look for my installed apps
[13:54] <snuggl> found the problem, if you choose to automatically format the drive ubuntu only create 900kb of /boot !
[13:54] <snuggl> must be a bug in the installer?
[13:54] <Demonicpagan> question: when i go to install ubuntu on a 2nd HDD on my system (1 drive houses windows7, 1 ubuntu) what do i want to choose for the installation of the boot loader?
[13:54] <Demonicpagan> should i select /dev/sda (windows7 drive), /dev/sdb (ubuntu drive with an ntfs partition for storage), or /dev/sdb2 (root mount point for ubuntu)?
[13:54] <ppcblaster> Is what you are telling me is, ti launch an app, open terminal and type the name of the app you want to launch?
[13:54] <ppcblaster> is to
[13:54] <uxat54> is there a way to show volume-icons on the desktop? i tried gconf-editor but cannot find the right entry!
[13:54] <Pici> CaMason: pgrace: Should be fixed now.
[13:55] <MonkeyDust> uxat54: you have to install advanced system settings, where you can find Desktop
[13:55] <CaMason> oooo. Was is that meta-release file?
[13:55] <tenfingeredfury> Does anyone know if gnome 3 is going to reconsider having screensavers?
[13:55] <thiebaude> !xscreensaver
[13:56] <ppcblaster> How do I get skype to launch from launch bar icon?
[13:56] <uxat54> MonkeyDust, Thanks! What is the package name?
[13:56] <tenfingeredfury> xscreensaver login looks a bit nasty though
[13:56] <thiebaude> tenfingeredfury, i just installed screensaver on gnome 3
[13:56] <phlak_user> Demonicpagan: /dev/sdb2
[13:56] <speakman> "Time and date settings" option in the time menu doesn't open the date/time settings dialog, but the generic settings window (as pressing "System Settings..." in the other menu)
[13:56] <CaMason> Pici, ahh I see meta-release has changed. Nice
[13:56] <CaMason> Pici thanks for chasing that up
[13:56] <MonkeyDust> uxat54: in software center, look for 'advanced'
[13:57] <speakman> how do I enter the clock settings?
[13:57] <gioman> Hi all, is the maildir format used in Evolution 3.2 compatible with evolution 2.x?
[13:57] <uxat54> MonkeyDust, alright..found it!
[13:58] <MonkeyDust> uxat54: it's called gnome-tweak-tool 3.2.0-0ubuntu1
[13:58] <MonkeyDust> ah ok
[13:58] <uxat54> thanks anyway!
[13:58] <MonkeyDust> :)
[13:58] <uxat54> it already works :)
[13:58] <phlak_user> gioman: it isnt; it actually offers to convert your mbox to maildir
[13:58] <phlak_user> gioman: did to me :)
[13:59] <_spt_> i folks, Is there an issue with the mouse lacking of response in 11.10? I had the same issue in 11.04 and thought I was a temp problem in 11.04- any one?
[13:59] <gioman> phlak_user: my problem is the other way. I updated to Evolution 3.2 and so to maildir, but I would need to switch back to Evolution 2.x

[14:11] <dryicebomb> B0g4r7: I believe you can prepend that information in /etc/dhcp/dhcpclient.conf, I could be wrong though, you might want to double check the man for dhclient.conf
[14:11] <orated> Ubuntu installer is crashing every time I try to install the system with the following information - http://pastebin.com/ntQUenpe . I've checked the media before using the LiveUSB/CD and it gives no error. When there is no error, the image file is proper, the usb-creater doesn't give error then the installer crashing is really annoying when the user have to recreate the Live media for installation. Can anyone help me fix this issue?
[14:13] <szal> USB media are inherently unreliable, in my experience, depending on a variety of factors, such as USB port used, make/model of USB medium etc.
