as long as u dont wipe out ur windows partition
[19:31] <Jerrry> Yeah.
[19:31] <abstrakt> Jerrry, there are a few different partitioning options - I always use "manual"
[19:31] <soreau> lolol^: How did you break it?
[19:31] <Jerrry> I'll be careful not to do that.
[19:32] <abstrakt> Jerrry, or rather, I think it's called "something else" in the ubuntu installer
[19:32] <Jerrry> k
[19:32] <abstrakt> Jerrry, literally, it says at the bottom
[19:32] <abstrakt> Jerrry, 'Something Else'
[19:32] <lolol^> Doesn't come up... ERROR: "GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: [sth w. timeout]"
[19:32] <Jerrry> Alright.
[19:32] <abstrakt> Jerrry, and that will let you do manual partitioning
[19:32] <Jerrry> Thanks, abstrakt.
[19:32] <lolol^> soreau, Don't know...
[19:32] <Jerrry> Going to try now.
[19:32] <abstrakt> Jerrry, I think there may likely be an option to automatically resize your windows partition
[19:32] <lolol^> I am on 11.10 gnome
[19:32] <abstrakt> lolol^, i'm so sorry for you :P
[19:33] <ManDay> So... where exactly is documented how sources.list works? I don't quite get the hang of it
[19:33] <lolol^> soreau, I even reinstalled the eog package...
[19:33] <abstrakt> er, well sorry taht you have to use gnome XD
[19:33] <abstrakt> ManDay, what is there to understand/
[19:33] <abstrakt> ManDay, deb <SOMEURLGOESHERE> <NAMEOFYOURDISTROGOESHERE> main
[19:33] <abstrakt> ManDay, that's it
[19:33] <pfifo> ManDay, man sources.list
[19:33] <ManDay> for example what is the difference between   deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric multiverse   and deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates multiverse
[19:33] <soreau> lolol^: What happens when you try to run it from terminal?
[19:33] <ManDay> pfifo: Ah ok - I didn't have that on my minimal install
[19:33] <abstrakt> ManDay, one is updates the other is not?
[19:34] <ManDay> abstrakt: Meaning what?
[19:34] <abstrakt> ManDay, I believe diff would tell you that "-updates" is the difference
[19:34] <lolol^> THis error (I am on german): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: Zeitüberschreitung wurde erreicht
[19:34] <pfifo> ManDay, install manpages-en
[19:34] <lolol^> soreau, Sth like "Timelimit reached"
[19:34] <ManDay> abstrakt: That concept is foreign to me. Why are updates in a separate repository?
[19:34] <abstrakt> ManDay, well one repo is going to be the sort of "official" repo as you might think of it
[19:34] <ManDay> What happens with the data in the non-updates repo?
[19:35] <abstrakt> ManDay, because the CD has to have the same packages
[19:35] <abstrakt> ManDay, the freshly installed system needs to basically be the same
[19:35] <soreau> lolol^: Can you pastebin the complete output to paste.ubuntu.com?
[19:35] <lolol^> That was the complete output ^^
[19:35] <abstrakt> ManDay, what happens if an update breaks your system?
[19:35] <abstrakt> ManDay, I think that possibility is the main rationale for separating updates in to their own repo
[19:35] <ManDay> abstrakt: So basically once all of my packages have been updated at least once, I have no more packages from the non-update repository?
[19:36] <lolol^> soreau, Exactly this one line
[19:36] <abstrakt> ManDay, extensive testing goes in to all of the specific package versions that get realeased as 11.10
[19:36] <ManDay> How is the relation between XYZ and XYZ-updates established? Is it a naming convention?
[19:36] <soreau> lolol^: It just says "Timelimit reached" and returns?
[19:36] <abstrakt> ManDay, well, no, plenty of packages may exist in the non-update repo that you haven't installed yet
[19:36] <pfifo> can i `wget -r -q -H -l 0 - * > /dev/fd0` to fet the entire internet on a floppy?
[19:37] <ManDay> abstrakt: Yes, but an install from CD always has all packages \in non-update which then gradually become packages \in updates, right?
[19:37] <soreau> pfifo: yes
[19:37] <lolol^> soreau, "GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: Zeitüberschreitung wurde erreicht"
[19:37] <ManDay> pfifo: of course, what a question
[19:37] <ManDay> pfifo: I'd pipe it through tar or gzip, if I were you though.
[19:37] <abstrakt> ManDay, I dunno, I don't package stuff
[19:37] <ManDay> The internet is quite big
[19:37] <lolol^> soreau, Yes, with this prefix...
[19:38] <pfifo> i have a 720k so im good
[19:38] <abstrakt> ManDay, and yes I'm sure that it's naming convention related
[19:38] <ManDay> abstrakt: Ok, in more practical terms: Would it suffice for me to add the ...-updates repository?
[19:38] <abstrakt> ManDay, when you sudo apt-get install, the package name doesn't include the version
[19:38] <abstrakt> ManDay, you mean only add updates?
[19:38] <abstrakt> ManDay, I dunno
[19:38] <abstrakt> ManDay, not all packages are necessarily going to have updates
[19:39] <abstrakt> ManDay, is it a problem?
[19:39] <soreau> lolcat: Does the output of 'date' show your date/time settings are correct?
[19:39] <ManDay> I still don't see the point in this, that's my problem. Why there are separate repos for updates and ... "non-updates"
[19:39] <abstrakt> ManDay, like, is there some reason you need to do things differently from the way ubuntu has been doing it for years?
[19:39] <ManDay> abstrakt: Lol, no.
[19:39] <CupOfCocoa> As a first time linux user the "lost+found" dir cracks me up, what creative use have you guys found for it over the years? And why the hell is it even there in the first place?
[19:39] <lolol^> soreau, Just found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1869052&page=2
[19:40] <abstrakt> ManDay, because not all packages are gonna have updates, and updates might break the system, and you need to have a canonical stable/frozen list of packages and versions that make up a given distro
[19:40] <soreau> lolol^: Yea I'm finding reports too
[19:40] <abstrakt> ManDay, you have to have a definition of what exactly 10.10 is vs what 11.04 etc etc
[19:40] <tamer> Hello, How can I open a window on a remote display via ssh (Yes, I don't want to see the window, I want it viewed on the remote machine).
[19:40] <abstrakt> ManDay, seriously you're over thining this way too much
[19:40] <pfifo> CupOfCocoa, its part of the e2fsck system, if you get a inode that dosent have an associated file, then it will be put in lost&found
[19:40] <ManDay> abstrakt: ok
[19:40] <a3r0_> does anyone know how to setup assault cube server? on ubuntu i have the game working but i have a home server and i cant get it too setup the ac
[19:40] <CupOfCocoa> pfifo: Ah, that actually makes sense, thanks a lot!
[19:40] <abstrakt> ManDay, you're trying to solve a problem that you haven't even yet encountered - heck you're trying to solve a problem that you don't even know what the problem IS
[19:41] <ManDay> indeed. that's me.
[19:41] <abstrakt> ManDay, if you want to know these things, go join the ubuntu developers mailing list
[19:41] <ManDay> Anticipate EVERYTHING!

[19:42] <soreau> lolol^: This seems to suggest downgrading glib to a stable version will fix it https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/880227
[19:42] <pfifo> !b43 | jose__
[19:42] <ManDay> abstrakt: I consider myself a lord of premature, ridicolous, over-optimization
[19:42] <BluesKaj> ManDay , that's not anticipation , thats; creating a problem where one doesn't exist or probly won't in the future either ..enough!
[19:42] <ManDay> BluesKaj: Okay ;p
[19:42] <abstrakt> BluesKaj++
[19:43] <lolol^> sordina, Thx for that link...
[19:43] <BluesKaj> that's my sound-off for today :)
[19:43] <Kimble> Someone recommend a user-friendly radio streamer for the command line?
[19:43] <soreau> lolol^: and it has a new version of eog with a fix
[19:43] <a3r0_> i'm having trouble setting up an assault cube server on my ubuntu 10.04 server? i have the game working but i'm confused about the server?
[19:44] <a3r0_> does anyone have any idea why the game works but the server wont install ac?
[19:44] <abstrakt> Kimble, user friendly and command line don't really go together
[19:44] <ManDay> !info nm-applet
[19:44] <ManDay> Well.
[19:44] <jose__> pfifo I have spent two days trying to do this through the docs.  I at wits end.    I think that I need to load some drivers, but I'm not sure how it is done.
[19:47] <lolol^> soreau, Seems a restart is also needed...  I'd rather fail at googling, frankly.
[19:48] <abstrakt> hahah I fail at courtesy?
[19:48] <lolol^> soreau, Upgrading to newer eog version is working fine!
[19:48] <abstrakt> lol this coming from the person who just told me to f*ck off
[19:49] <Kimble> you still haven't listed the app you found. you won't because you didn't find it.   E+: has a good keyboard, useful outputs, good price; E-: GPU <> V+: has better CPU&GPU, V-: worse keyboard, 3 USB, smaller display - any suggestions?
[19:50] <abstrakt> ManDay, of course that would require installing KDE, which takes a huge amount of space
[19:50] <ManDay> i hope that lxde doesnt pull qt by itsself
[19:51] <abstrakt> ManDay, Qt != KDE
[19:51] <abstrakt> Qt is great, KDE sucks
[19:51] <pfifo> ManDay, lxde uses whatever gets the job done in the least amount of bytes
[19:51] <ManDay> pfifo: Pretty much what I need.
[19:52] <ManDay> is network-manager gnome specific or will it work with lxde?
[19:52] <murfie> hi
[19:52] <abstrakt> antivirtel, nope, sorry, really the most important thing to do is to try to research the actual hardware chipsets inside the laptops so you can check if you will have driver support
[19:52] <abstrakt> ManDay, network-manager is not GNOME specific
[19:52] <abstrakt> ManDay, I have it in xfce
[19:52] <Kimble> So one guy acts a cheeky prick, gets told off, now no-one'll help?  I've helped more than a few in IRC in my time, and I was able to do it without being a snot-nosed tit.
[19:52] <ManDay> abstrakt: great
[19:52] <mongy> Kimble, does it have to be command line or will a very minimal gui do?
[19:52] <abstrakt> Kimble, you're really digging yourself deeper you know
[19:52] <antivirtel> abstrakt thanks... nem probléma
[19:52] <abstrakt> Kimble, you're just making no one want to help you
[19:52] <antivirtel> * no problem
[19:52] <ManDay> i guess i'm getting lxde then, given it only uses 180 megs souds perfect for an usb stick
[19:53] <Kimble> mongy: I don't have a a GUI installed. I run entirely over SSH.
[19:53] <ManDay> erm, 387, oops
[19:53] <jose__> Ran the install Command not foune
[19:53] <ManDay> that's more than xfce
[19:53] <Kimble> abstrakt: I find the chances of actually getting help, regardless of my demeanour, is very slim on IRC anyway. I use it as a last resort, for obvious reasons.
[19:54] <mongy> Kimble, shell-fm    ?
[19:54] <abstrakt> ManDay, lxde should "run faster" than xfce, but if it's space you care about, then I guess go with xfce
[19:54] <Kimble> mongy: aha. let me check that out.
[19:54] <BluesKaj> Kimble, and the reason is obvious why you don't get any help :)
[19:54] <soreau> lolol^: Cool ;-)
[19:54] <pfifo> jose__, it said command not found? you must have typed it wrong
[19:54] <Kimble> BluesKaj: lol, don't judge my entire IRC conduct based on one day.
[19:54] <mongy> Kimble, that one is for last.fm streams.
[19:54] <abstrakt> mongy, don't feed the trolls :P
[19:55] <abstrakt> Kimble, we don't have anything else to judge you by
[19:55] <Kimble> Sometimes, you just get sick of the attitudes.
[19:55] <Kimble> abstrakt: why judge at all?
[19:55] <Kimble> just help.  I stopped
[19:57] <abstrakt> wtf
[19:57] <jose__> pfilo did a cut and paist.  same responce
[19:57] <abstrakt> that's so lame
[19:57] <Kimble> mongy: unfortunately last.fm isn't of much use to me, but thanks for the suggestion.
[19:57] <abstrakt> did you kick Kimble too?
[19:57] <pfifo> jose__, can you pastebin the output?
[19:57] <ManDay> pfifo: Can you imagine any pitfalls when chrooting (mounted proc, sys and dev) into the minimal install and  running apt-get install xfce4 ?
[19:57] <ManDay> I did so and apt-get install xfce returns with errors for basically everything
[19:58] <jose__> jose@jose-Presario-V2000-PV340AV-ABA:~$ sudo modbrobe wl
[19:58] <jose__> sudo: modbrobe: command not found
[19:58] <pfifo> ManDay, yes, it will install udev more than likely, make sure to stop it before you leave chroot or you wont be able to unmount
[19:58] <jack> "modprobe"
[19:58] <jack> use $brain
[19:58] <pfifo> jose__, its `sudo modprobe wl`
[19:58] <ManDay> pfifo: Urgh, I'd like those postinstall-hooks not to start any crap while I'm at it...
[19:59] <Kimble> All the solutions that I can find involve using ip addresses and ports, which is not user-friendly. If there's no alternative, can someone suggest how to extract those details from iTunes radio feeds?
[19:59] <ManDay> Imho a package manager's business is NOT to stop or even start anything
[19:59] <pfifo> ManDay, anytime you install a service that supposed to start at boot it autostarts it
[19:59] <mongy> Kimble, did you try mplayer, its command line
[20:00] <ManDay> pfifo: That's argueably smart
[20:00] <ManDay> Anyway, I don't think that's the trouble here
[20:00] <pfifo> ManDay, ubuntu is made to be easy
[20:00] <Kimble> mongy: I considered it. I was hoping for something with a smaller footprint. It's a 70MB install.  MPG123 is less than a meg, but it requires ip addresses and ports.
[20:00] <abstrakt> lalala, look at me
[20:00] <mongy> Kimble, mplayer http://network.absoluteradio.co.uk/core/audio/aacplus/live.pls?service=a9bb  works,  not tried any fancy schmancy mms or whatever tho
[20:00] <Kimble> mongy: but if it's all there is...
[20:00] <ManDay> Doesn't it lead to collisions in the kernel if apt-get in the Chroot starts another instance of udev while an udev outside of the chroot is already running?
[20:01] <pfifo> ManDay, ive never had any problems
[20:02] <Kimble> mongy: i'm installing now - give me a mo and I'll report back...
[20:02] <dimethyl> ubuntu11 wont recognize my usb audio interface (behringer uca200).. anybody experience something similar?
[20:02] <YeeP> Hello, I have a running install of ubuntu 11.10, with a dual boot running grub2. I would like to format the partition ubuntu is on and run a clean install of the OS. If I just boot up with the live CD and format the partition(s) ubuntu uses to reinstall, will my mutli boot still be functional?
[20:02] <ManDay> I don't understand it. When I apt-get install xfce in the chroot I get errors for  "locale: Cannot set LC_... to default locale: No such file or directory" - but nothing else. But THEN the whole thing ends in "Errors were encountered while processing: <basically all packages that were installed>"  - Ideas?
[20:03] <ManDay> E: Sub-process /ust/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[20:03] <ManDay> /usr, that is
[20:03] <pfifo> ManDay, do `export LC_ALL=C` and `export HOME=/root`
[20:03] <gde33> newbie question: Why are things that don't work not removed from the software center?
[20:03] <jose__> philo this is the out put  WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/b.lacklist, it will be ignored in a future release.
[20:03] <jose__> WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/backlist, it will be ignored in a future release.
[20:03] <eo-helios> dimethyl: most probably an alsa/oss question
[20:03] <abstrakt> gde33, because it's free software and not everyone has time to fix everything
[20:04] <abstrakt> gde33, also, just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean that it doesn't work for other people
[20:04] <dimethyl> ubuntu10 recognized my usb audio device automatically, could the upgrade have changed the driver?
[20:04] <pfifo> jose__, warnnings are ok, are you able to use the network-applet to connect now?
[20:04] <jose__> how do I do that?
[20:05] <pfifo> there should be a network icon on the panel
[20:05] <gde33> abstrakt: I'm just a newbie, my experience was that everything looks really sexy, runs smoothly but then the software doesn't work because the version are highly outdated?
[20:05] <gde33> abstrakt: It is really so hard to keep that up to date?
[20:05] <abstrakt> gde33, so go buy a mac
[20:05] <pfifo> jose__, there should be a network icon on the panel
[20:05] <Flannel> abstrakt: Please be helpful.
[20:05] <YeeP> lol
[20:06] <ManDay> pfifo: I even ran apt-get install xfce again and it said xfce were already installed. But then it spits out the whole range of errors again....     errror processing dbus (--configure)   followed by several instances of other ocnfigureation errors.
[20:06] <gde33> abstrakt: how do I find whoever is suppose to update the old stuff?
[20:06] <ManDay> Because it can't start Upstart dbus?!
[20:06] <abstrakt> gde33, join the developers' mailing list
[20:06] <ManDay> pfifo: How did you manage? On a non ubuntu host?
[20:06] <abstrakt> gde33, or possible the packagers' mailing list
[20:06] <jose__> if you are talking about the two arrows only the wired network is showing.  not the wifi
[20:06] <pfifo> ManDay, xfce4 is a meta package, run `apt-get remove --purge xfce4` and then retry
[20:06] <gde33> abstrakt: ok, thanks
[20:07] <eo-helios> dimethyl: > ubuntu10 recognized my usb audio device automatically < lsmod for ubuntu 10.10 and for current one
[20:07] <ManDay> pfifo: again, those errors
[20:07] <pfifo> ManDay, it might be that your kernel is too different from ubuntu's
[20:07] <BluesKaj> Kimble, try mpg123 , http://www.linux-magazine.com/content/view/full/44311
[20:07] <ManDay> pfifo: It all starts with the error that it's not able to start dbus via upstart
[20:07] <tamer> How do I resume a session opened on a remote machine?
[20:08] <eo-helios> two possibilities, the driver is not loaded, is loaded but not working
[20:08] <ManDay> pfifo: Hrm... I guess I will have to do all this stuff from the livecd then
[20:08] <Kimble> BluesKaj: I'm already trying it. It requires ports and ip addresses, like I pointed out earlier.
[20:08] <eo-helios> both are worth
[20:08] <Kimble> BluesKaj: pity, cos the footprint is tiny.
[20:08] <ManDay> pfifo: just out of curiosity: did you suceed with it on a non-ubuntu-host=
[20:08] <ManDay> ?
[20:08] <pfifo> jose__, can you paste the output of `lsmod`
[20:09] <eo-helios> both are worse*
[20:09] <pfifo> ManDay, well, cant really compare cause ive only done it from debain, and there pretty much the same
[20:09] <ManDay> abstrakt: Do I need to explicitly install a display manager?
[20:09] <abstrakt> ManDay, no
[20:09] <abstrakt> ManDay, just run startx
[20:09] <ManDay> what?!
[20:09] <ManDay> dude...
[20:09] <mongy> Kimble, what about xmms2?
[20:10] <ManDay> I want a display manager!
[20:10] <ManDay> My prerequisite was to get something equivalent to the standard GNOME desktop with reduced functionality.
[20:10] <ManDay> But it should have at least an equivalent login
[20:10] <BluesKaj> Kimble, well one expects that with a cli app, what's so onerous about copying and pasting URL?
[20:11] <abstrakt> ManDay, uhh... yeah, startx works fine, you just need to know how to configure your session
[20:11] <jose__> pfifo Here it is:   lsmod

[20:11] <abstrakt> ManDay, a display manager just does some handy stuff to help you configure your session automagically
[20:11] <Kimble> BluesKaj: that's not what I said. it wants PORT and IP ADDRESS. mpg123 doesn't accept URLs.
[20:11] <ManDay> abstrakt: look man that's not an option
[20:11] <pfifo> jose__, please use a pastebin http://fpaste.org
[20:11] <abstrakt> ManDay, so then apt-get install gdm
[20:11] <ManDay> abstrakt: I know very well what a display manager does. I maintain a gentoo system, you remember...
[20:12] <abstrakt> or maybe xdm, I think xdm exists
[20:12] <mongy> Kimble,  xmms2 add url_here then xmms2 play
[20:12] <abstrakt> i don't remember sorry
[20:12] <ManDay> It's just that this usb stick has, for example, to work on tablets where I don't have a keyboard
[20:12] <Kimble> mongy: yeah, I'm just reading through the docs now. Looks promising.
[20:12] <pfifo> jose__, can you paste the output of `iwconfig`
[20:12] <ManDay> (generally speaking: I need the convenience of GNOME - just not the same plethora of tools and features)

[20:14] <abstrakt> Guest84021, are you sure it's your touchpad and not just your system freezing?
[20:14] <Guest84021> the cursor won't respond to touchpad input,just seems to happen randomly
[20:14] <ManDay> LightDM is the dm of ubuntu
[20:15] <Guest84021> will sometimes work ok for a while and then freeze
[20:15] <Kimble> mongy: yes, looks promising, and a much smaller footprint than mplayer. just installing now.
[20:15] <ManDay> Guest84021: While you are moving the figure?
[20:15] <powersurge> so in firefox I can't get pandora to go, and it seems to have something to do with ubuntu. are you guys able to get pandora to play music in ff?
[20:15] <powersurge> cause I'm utterly stumped
[20:15] <powersurge> ff on other oses seems to work flawlessly with pandora
[20:15] <Guest84021> i have just updated though,seems ok at present
[20:15] <ManDay> Guest84021: In a 'sensible' fashion or completely (I'm trying to determine whether it could be a Gesture of Finger-Width issue)
[20:15] <Sidewinder1> _Nano, With all of the error messages saying, "No space left on device", could it be a hard-drive "almost-full", issue?
[20:16] <YeeP> can anyone answer my previous question? about the install
[20:16] <DemonWitch> hey
[20:16] <Guest84021> when it happens the cursor is completely unresponsive
[20:16] <_Nano> Sidewinder1: no i have 1TB free and 24GB of ram, plus my swap is 32GB
[20:16] <DemonWitch> if i try apt-get remove something, that is needed by another package. will i get notified?
[20:17] <ManDay> Guest84021: How long does it last?
[20:17] <Flannel> DemonWitch: yeah, you'll get told "you'll also remove all of these! Continue? y/n?"
[20:17] <YeeP> DW: I think it tells you what 'else' it will remove and gives you an option to continue
[20:17] <YeeP> oh, oops
[20:17] <Guest84021> i have to restart to fix it,or plug a mouse in
[20:17] <Sidewinder1> _Nano, Then, that's sure as hack not it; 'twas just a thought.
[20:17] <bobalazs> i'm having a problem. Currently running a vesa driver that is default, though  its a unichrome driver that is supposed to work on this via s3 igp card - but with that i cant see the mouse on the connected external monitor (its a r1004 packard bell laptop
[20:18] <Guest84021> but,i have applied some updates a few minutes ago and ok at present
[20:18] <ManDay> Guest84021: I have to leave now. You may try to use usbmon to check whether you still get signals on the usb port
[20:18] <jose__> pfifo Just figured it out. paste.ubuntu.com/772618
[20:18] <pfifo> _Nano, you might have encounterd a disk error that put the disk in readonly mode, double check `df -h`and if there is room then reebot
[20:18] <Sidewinder1> YeeP, If you simply install to the same partition, GRUB, should re-write correctly for the new install.
[20:18] <ManDay> if not, it's likely a HW issue or at a deep kernel level.
[20:18] <ManDay> Guest84021: ^
[20:18] <Guest84021> ok,thank you
[20:19] <ManDay> np, hope it helps
[20:19] <sskalnik> With this section of a makefile http://paste.ubuntu.com/772589/ I get these errors  http://paste.ubuntu.com/772590/when building with pbuilder. Rather confused as to what is causing the errors.
[20:20] <_Nano> pfifo, Sidewinder1 thanks, I see the issue now I should have been doing it on another partition =/
[20:20] <_Nano> it is infact full.
[20:20] <_Nano> derp.
[20:21] <Crupulus> Hello (newbie) - is the command "ifconfig" what I need to know if my wifi card is recognized ?
[20:22] <nullie> Crupulus, you could use ifconfig -a
[20:22] <YeeP> Sidewinder, thank you. Hoever there are I believe 2 partitions it is instlaled on
[20:22] <YeeP> swap, root and "main"
[20:22] <nullie> Crupulus, but wifi card could be named eth0, so better use iwconfig
[20:23] <Sidewinder1> _Nano, Ah, the partition was full..
[20:23] <_Nano> yeah =/ I wasn't paying attention like I should've
[20:23] <abstrakt> is there no GUI timezone utility in xfce?
[20:23] <Crupulus> nullie, well I have two things displayed there, eth0 which says it's ethernet, and lo (local loopback or something)
[20:24] <nullie> Crupulus, try iwconfig
[20:24] <Crupulus> nullie, but this netbook has a wifi card aswell..
[20:24] <Crupulus> ok ty
[20:24] <Crupulus> sec
[20:24] <Crupulus> "no wireless extension" rawr
[20:24] <abstrakt> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime <- "Time and Date" does not exist in Application -> Settings
[20:24] <Kimble> mongy: unfortunately it doesn't support the URLs that iTunes uses.  I'm going to give up now, it's not worth the hassle. But thanks for the assist.
[20:24] <Crupulus> nullie, would it be a missing driver ?
[20:24] <nullie> Crupulus, try lspci
[20:24] <jose__> pfifo I feel like I need to walk away for a while and try agein latter.  Thanks for your help.
[20:25] <Guest98311> Well, 12.04 alpha seems to work pretty well.
[20:25] <Sidewinder1> _Nano, If you're planning on shrinking or otherwise changing an NTFS partition, don't forget to DEFRAGMENT it at least twice, prior to re-partitioning...
[20:25] <Crupulus> ah there it shows it, the ethernet one (atheros) and the wifi one (broadcom)
[20:25] <nullie> Crupulus, which broadcom model?
[20:25] <nullie> Crupulus, well, you can google it yourself
[20:25] <pfifo> sskalnik, the error looks like line 8
[20:26] <trote> I need to read a text file and only get lines with a certain character in a certain position, which tool is best for this? sed?
[20:26] <pfifo> sskalnik, try this instead: test -f $(DESTDIR)/etc/nslink.conf || cp $(DESTDIR)/etc/nslink.conf $(DESTDIR)/etc/
[20:26] <Guest98311> Anyone else testing 12.04 today?
[20:26] <theadmin> Guest98311: Try #ubuntu+1
[20:27] <Guest98311> ok
[20:27] <Administrateur> hello
[20:27] <Sidewinder1> _Nano, And, god forbid me from mentioning an NTFS partition, in this channel. ;-)
[20:27] <Administrateur> ok
[20:27] <abstrakt> Sidewinder1, there's nothing really wrong with windows, most people here probably use both... and heck most people in ##windows tend to be linux users as well
[20:28] <Sidewinder1> !ask | Administrateur
[20:28] <Flannel> Sidewinder1: eh?  Who said he even had a question to ask?
[20:28] <abstrakt> yeah i was wondering the same
[20:29] <pfifo> sskalnik, but that really dosent make anysense can you pastebin `ls -la /tmp/buildd/nslink-4.28.1/debian/tmp`
[20:29] <bradj> ubottu: seen ondrej?
[20:29] <Sidewinder1> abstrakt, Yes, I'm rather ashamed to admit that, on occasion, I still boot to win.. :-(
[20:29] <donavan01> is there a way to run ubuntu from a flash drive but be able to initally configure it using virtualbox
[20:29] <number17> i like windows7
[20:29] <Administrateur> what ?
[20:29] <abstrakt> Sidewinder1, yeah and I'm saying you can take your OS elitism elsewhere, no one really cares or thinks you're a bigger man because you like to dis windows
[20:29] <xxiao> since when ubuntu deprecate aptitude and favor apt-get/
[20:29] <xxiao> since when ubuntu deprecate aptitude and favor apt-get?
[20:30] <abstrakt> xxiao, since like, forever ago?
[20:30] <abstrakt> aptitude sucks... well the gui sucks... i've heard it "handles deps better"... whatever that means
[20:30] <Sidewinder1> Flannel, He said "Hello", "ok", perhaps it was my mistake; if so, I apologize. :-)
[20:30] <abstrakt> er, not the gui, the "ncurses gui"
[20:30] <xxiao> aptitude is CLI though
[20:30] <Flannel> xxiao: apt-get was always the preferred, but aptitude was removed from the default install in 10.10.
[20:31] <Sidewinder1> abstrakt, Um,.. Er,.. Pardon me?
[20:31] <xxiao> i should say i always use aptitude under console
[20:31] <beblah> hi.. i just installed 11.10, is there a package manager already installed by default?
[20:31] <abstrakt> beblah, yes
[20:31] <nullie> aptitude rocks
[20:31] <beblah> where can i find it?
[20:31] <xxiao> aptitude search mypkg
[20:31] <nullie> apt-get install aptitude
[20:31] <xxiao> aptitude install mypkg
[20:31] <og01> how can i disable that autohiding floaty scrollbar and get my normal ones back agian?
[20:31] <xxiao> works very well, i think it's the preferred method in 8.04 and such
[20:32] <abstrakt> beblah, in the menu?
[20:32] <xxiao> somehow it's not even installed now
[20:32] <Sidewinder1> abstrakt, No elitism here.. Perhaps you may wish to take a look at your self? With all due respect, of course..
[20:32] <Flannel> xxiao: Correct.  You can install it if you would like, or just use apt-get instead.  apt-get install foo, apt-cache search foo, etc.
[20:32] <abstrakt> Sidewinder1, your implicit dissing of windows is in fact OS elitism, i don't care to argue the point because there is no argument
[20:32] <abstrakt> I personally dislike all OSes equally
[20:33] <xxiao> have not used apt-get for a while, what's the way to do 'aptitude search pkg' using apt-get?
[20:33] <beblah> yeah i tried that earlier.. i get the message that aptitude is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[20:33] <abstrakt> I'm an equal opportunity discriminator when it comes to OS
[20:33] <Flannel> xxiao: apt-cache search foo.
[20:33] <Sidewinder1> Agreed. Ignore filter on..
[20:33] <Mumin> Can anyone help me? My network-limit is 2Mbit on a 60Mbit internet (works flawless on Windows 7). Recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 and is still limited on a RTL8111/8168B HIGHLIGHT please! :)
[20:33] <xxiao> apt-cache search foo is just unintuitive
[20:33] <xxiao> why cant apt-get search
[20:33] <sskalnik> pfifo:  I think I figured out the issue; awaiting experiment's results.
[20:34] <mebigfatguy> i am unable to boot up 11.10 in linux 3.0, it boots fine in 2.6.8.... I have a GEForce FX 5200. It boots to a pure purple screen. If i add nomodeset to the boot command, it changes behavior to showing a pure black screen with a blinking cursor. Any idea what else i can try to get it to boot in 3.0?
[20:34] <Flannel> xxiao: because that's not how it is built.
[20:34] <Yoshimitsuc> Hi all :)
[20:34] <og01> abstrakt: both have pros and cons, but linux is better. I'll cite my sources: git.kernel.org
[20:34] <beblah> Package aptitude is not available, but is referred to by another package. <-- :/
[20:34] <xxiao> i hope apt-get can get apt-cache/apt-file all folded in
[20:34] <xxiao> apt-get search foo or apt-get rsearch foo(remote search),or something alike
[20:34] <Mumin> Installed Ubuntu 10.04, can't get up my speed with RTL8111/8168B. Stops at ~2Mbit/s on a 60Mbit/s network. (Works on Windows). Clues?
[20:35] <pfifo> xxiao, ive been asking myself that for ages
[20:35] <xxiao> anyways
[20:35] <Flannel> beblah: That means you likely have your repositories misconfigured.
[20:35] <og01> hey I thought the newish weird scrollbar would be part of the gtk theme, but switching themes i cannot get the ordinary one back? any ideas on how to revert?
[20:35] <pfifo> xxiao, `apt-get search foo` should exist
[20:35] <Yoshimitsuc> I'm very very very hapy, becous my ubuntu not crash when i'm instaled graph drivers :D
[20:35] <beblah> Flannel: how can i sort that out?
[20:35] <pfifo> xxiao, you can add an alias for it in your .bashrc
[20:35] <xxiao> pfifo: try that, E: invliado peration search
[20:36] <abstrakt> og01, nah, linux has just as many problems and bugs as windows and mac
[20:36] <xangua> if you mean overlay scrollbar, there is a webupd8 blog pots that says how og01
[20:36] <Flannel> blind: pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get update`
[20:36] <xxiao> pfifo: of course i can, just saying it's not intuitive, for the most freq used cmds
[20:36] <antivirtel> Does anyone know if a new color laser printer could print good quality photos?
[20:36] <abstrakt> i've seen all three OSes crash and burn, none does a particularly better job than the others
[20:36] <xangua> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html
[20:36] <beblah> i'm having a very difficult time getting this up and running.. my built in wireless nic is blacklisted by default
[20:36] <Flannel> abstrakt: Again, please be helpful, and please help this channel stay on topic.  Thanks.
[20:36] <xangua> og01: see the link above
[20:36] <ManDay> abstrakt: hey
[20:36] <abstrakt> sigh
[20:36] <donavan01> is there a way to boot from a USB flash drive and have the changes I make to it stay resident the next time I boot with that drive
[20:36] <pfifo> xxiao, i meant `apt-get search foo` dosent exist but it SHOULD!
[20:36] <ManDay> abstrakt: oh come on...
[20:36] <abstrakt> ManDay, yes?
[20:36] <og01> xangua: thanks
[20:36] <xxiao> pfifo: yes, can't agree more
[20:36] <xangua> !persistent | donavan01
[20:36] <Yoshimitsuc> who know how can i custom my windows on ubuntu for 1024x600 resolutions :) ?
[20:37] <ManDay> oh, that sighing wasn't at me, I take it
[20:37] <ManDay> sorry, I guess I'm a little paranoid :P
[20:37] <xxiao> pfifo: do we have a page saying 'most wanted features'
[20:37] <ManDay> abstrakt: I was wondering which thing I will have to install to get something like nm-applet
[20:37] <ManDay> (in xfce4, of coruse)
[20:37] <pfifo> xxiao, as apt-get is debain stuff youll have to add it to a debain wishlist, and debain devs dont really care about ubuntu
[20:38] <og01> abstrakt: I've not tried every distro, but the linux kernel seems very very stable to me
[20:38] <Yoshimitsuc> Ubuntu is the best but i have problem with 1024x600 resolutions :(
[20:38] <donavan01> xangua ... thanks ... any idea if that will work if I create it to run in a virtual machine first?  basically I want to configure it in a virtual machine and then run it live after all the bugs are worked out
[20:38] <floflo2> hi, ubuntu 11.10 how to disable shutdown screen (goal is to show message)
[20:38] <oCean> og01: this channel is not for general discussion. Feel free to /join #ubuntu-offtopic to continue though
[20:38] <ManDay> abstrakt: Do you use nm-applet?
[20:38] <og01> oCean: sorry, abstrakt started it
[20:39] <ManDay> !search nm-applet
[20:39] <oCean> og01: now we're moving on
[20:39] <abstrakt> og01, actually no Sidewinder1 did
[20:39] <oCean> fine, we're all moving on, ok?
[20:39] <K1rk> I have a Ubuntu deployment of a lot of laptops... using Puppet I can push out changes via any CLI commands I can run.  I want to disable suspend so the laptops can't go to sleep. I have been successful in doing so, but now when the lid is closed, there's an error about the laptop "Failing to suspend."  I'd like to globally change the default action when the lid is closed, but it seems to be profile specific.  Is there a command I can run as
[20:39] <K1rk> root to fix this system-wide?
[20:39] <ManDay> Does anyone know which package nm-applet is part of?
[20:40] <K1rk> ManDay: I believe it's a part of network-manager-gnome.
[20:40] <abstrakt> ManDay, I don't know what it's called... in xfce i have a wireless icon that "just shows up" in my system tray
[20:40] <ManDay> K1rk: Thanks. Brings me back to the question which would be the xfce analogon.
[20:40] <abstrakt> ManDay, i'm not sure what puts it in my system tray
[20:41] <ManDay> abstrakt: Process name, perhaps?
[20:41] <beblah> Package 'aptitude' has no installation candidate.
[20:41] <abstrakt> K1rk, the solution... is to use chef :P
[20:41] <beblah> i'm not sure where to go from here
[20:41] <beblah> it's just not there?
[20:41] <Flannel> beblah: Please pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get update`
[20:41] <xk00zx> quit
[20:42] <ManDay> Does apt-get install   automatically install "recommended" packages?
[20:42] <beblah> it's not connected
[20:42] <beblah> that's why i'm doing this.. trying to sort the wifi card
[20:42] <pfifo> ManDay, no
[20:43] <Flannel> ManDay: recommended yes, suggested no.
[20:43] <DarkriftX> I dont really know gnome very well and I am trying to show hidden files in whatever file browser comes default with 11.10 but cant find anywhere to change options in this program. can anyone help?
[20:43] <XiaolinDraconis> ctrl+h
[20:43] <K1rk> ManDay: You may want to look at running apt-get build-dep
[20:43] <Flannel> beblah: Ah, that would make sense then.  You'll need to sort that out first, but you don't need aptitude to sort that out.
[20:43] <VictorCL2> how can I login to ubuntu with normal gnome theme?
[20:43] <xangua> DarkriftX: control+h
[20:44] <VictorCL2> I dont like these icons to the left
[20:44] <K1rk> ManDay: That will build the dependencies for whatever you're installing.
[20:44] <DarkriftX> ok, thanks
[20:44] <K1rk> There are some cases where I have to do that.
[20:44] <XiaolinDraconis> nautilus is the default file manager
[20:44] <ManDay> Flannel: What is the difference? I only know "recommented" from aptitude
[20:44] <xangua> VictorCL2: define normal, if you mean gnome2, is no longer maintained
[20:44] <floflo2> hi, ubuntu 11.10 how to disable shutdown screen (goal is to show message)
[20:44] <VictorCL2> so how can i move the icon bar to the right of screen?
[20:44] <ManDay> network-manager and network-manager-gnome appear to be actually the same package oO
[20:44] <xangua> !who | XiaolinDraconis
[20:45] <xangua> VictorCL2: you can't move the launcher from the fixed position, for now
[20:45] <VictorCL2> ¬¬
[20:45] <Flannel> ManDay: The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations.
[20:46] <pfifo> VictorCL2, flip you LCD upside down ^^
[20:46] <VictorCL2> wtf .. why cant you move it¿
[20:46] <jutnux> xangua: I thought you could use MyUnity? If we are talking about Unity that is.
[20:46] <Flannel> ManDay: Suggests is used to declare that one package may be more useful with one or more others. Using this field tells the packaging system and the user that the listed packages are related to this one and can perhaps enhance its usefulness, but that installing this one without them is perfectly reasonable.
[20:46] <XiaolinDraconis> VictorCL2, you could use a dock of some sort
[20:46] <ManDay> Flannel: So if that's what apt-get does. Does aptitude install suggested packages? There is no such setting
[20:46] <VictorCL2> while isntalling ubuntu it says that is the most flexible operating system .. where you can change anything you want
[20:46] <pfifo> VictorCL2, file it as a bug at launchpad
[20:47] <XiaolinDraconis> i would like to know more about compiling from source. can someone throw me in the right direction?
[20:47] <XiaolinDraconis> such as requirements and advantages
[20:47] <Flannel> ManDay: I have no idea what aptitude does.  apt-get installs recommends because it's configured to do so (and it says 'these packages are suggested'), you can change that behavior if you want to.
[20:47] <auronandace> !compile | XiaolinDraconis
[20:47] <pfifo> !compile | XiaolinDraconis
[20:47] <XiaolinDraconis> ty
[20:48] <ManDay> Is it possible to remove all packages which are suggested or recommented but not actually required?
[20:48] <VictorCL2> on my wireless .it ways "firmware missing"
[20:48] <yeehaw> ManDay: apt-get autoremove removes all packages that are not used for anything
[20:48] <robin0800> VictorCL2: you can get it on the bottom but its a hack
[20:49] <VictorCL2> how can I fix this :( .. is a lenovo s12 netbook
[20:50] <pfifo> ManDay, run `apt-get moo`
[20:50] <VictorCL2> I did this -> http://www.randomitguy.com/2011/05/ubuntu-1104-and-lenovo-ideapad-s12.html   <-- now I get "firmware missing"
[20:50] <Corey> VictorCL2: That's unfortunate.
[20:50] <Benkinooby> VictorCL2, i have an lenovo idepad s12 and everything goes fine
[20:50] <VictorCL2> Benkinooby how did you make the wireless work?
[20:51] <Corey> Probably the nonfree firmware. :-)
[20:51] <Benkinooby> VictorCL2, oh, sorry, i just saw you are using ubuntu 11.04 - i use ubuntu 10.04 - but i guess your version should even be better
[20:51] <VictorCL2> I am using ubuntu 11.10
[20:51] <Benkinooby> VictorCL2, what ubuntu do you use?
[20:51] <yeehaw> Victor12: remove "blacklist acer_wmi" from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf"
[20:51] <Benkinooby> ok
[20:51] <yeehaw> Victor12: reboot
[20:51] <ManDay> when I try to apt-get  linux-generic it also wants to pull in grub - is that normal?
[20:52] <pfifo> ManDay, yes
[20:52] <yeehaw> Victor12 or in other words, reverse what you just did.
[20:52] <floflo2> hi, ubuntu 11.10 how to disable shutdown screen (goal is to show message) > any help or google keyword ?
[20:52] <VictorCL2> ok
[20:52] <ManDay> pfifo: So GRUB is an actualy *dependency* or just suggested or recommented?
[20:53] <blipblip> Its a dependancy if you want to boot your OS!
[20:53] <murfie> yawn
[20:53] <abstrakt> ManDay, er, what else would you use instead of grub?
[20:53] <abstrakt> ManDay, lilo?
[20:53] <ManDay> abstrakt: that is indeed what I use
[20:53] <abstrakt> ManDay, er, well I guess you are on a USB stick aren't you
[20:54] <abstrakt> oh, ok, well ubuntu uses grub by default, has for a long time now I think
[20:54] <ManDay> abstrakt: Correct, but I use LILO for everything
[20:54] <abstrakt> actually it uses grub2
[20:54] <beblah> hi, could i get some advice on this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/38327/broadcom-bcm4311-wireless-not-working
[20:54] <abstrakt> ManDay, yeah I dunno, you might not be able to get around that
[20:54] <beblah> this is my wireless card, it's blacklisted by default it seems
[20:54] <ManDay> abstrakt: I would have reckoned you would use LILO, since you are all up for lightweight and GRUB is nothing but bloat
[20:54] <abstrakt> ManDay, you might have to explicitly rerun the lilo MBR thingie
[20:54] <ManDay> abstrakt: I just wanted to know
[20:54] <beblah> i'm trying to follow to the steps to no avail
[20:54] <abstrakt> ManDay, uhh... nah, i don't care about lightweight that much, I would have used unity if it didn't suck so bad :)
[20:55] <VictorCL2> ok yeehaw but I cant activate the wireless
[20:55] <abstrakt> ManDay, i moved to XFCE because it's closer to GNOME2
[20:55] <VictorCL2> is disabled
[20:55] <pfifo> ManDay, dpkg-query -W <deb file> will tell you some info about it
[20:55] <abstrakt> ManDay, and as an added bonus it's a lot faster
[20:55] <abstrakt> ManDay, I don't have particular space constraints, I have a decent sized HD and RAM
[20:55] <beblah> i'm trying to get apt-get to follow the steps but i can't do it
[20:55] <beblah> trying to use, even
[20:55] <abstrakt> geoffmcc, BluesKaj, hey what were you guys talking about with the blacklist thing?
[20:56] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: what does iwconfig give you?
[20:56] <abstrakt> beblah, I actually have the 4311 as well, and I just got it  to work
[20:56] <abstrakt> beblah, do you have the STA driver installed from "Additional Drivers" ?
[20:56] <beblah> i don't have anything installed that wasn't in the cd image
[20:57] <beblah> i'm assuming that wasn't installed by default?
[20:57] <VictorCL2> wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg EESID:off/any
[20:57] <pfifo> ManDay, sorry dpkg -I <deb file> is what im thinking of
[20:58] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: iwconfig wlan0 up
[20:58] <celltech> Since #vmware are fags! Maybe you can answer. Why is it not 'legal' to run a Mac OS VM?
[20:58] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: after that pls give me the ifconfig output in pastebin
[20:58] <Lufti_oO> hi ;)
[20:58] <VictorCL2> iwconfig: unknown command "up"
[20:58] <beblah> abstrakt: can i download it to a flashdrive and install from that?
[20:58] <beblah> the STA driver?
[20:58] <Myrtti> celltech: a) please no name calling and behave b) because Mac OSX licence allows it to be run only on the original hardware, AFAIK.
[20:59] <yeehaw> VictroCL2: Did you put wlan0 in the command?
[20:59] <VictorCL2> yes
[20:59] <celltech> Myrtti Well that's poo.. I need iTunes again and it runs best on Mac
[20:59] <yeehaw> what the
[20:59] <inashdeen> hi, anyone here knows what happen to basta project?
[20:59] <floflo2> (disable shutdown splash ???) Is it so complicated ? No one seem to know
[20:59] <tobbes> greetings I'm trying to kill a process that is running httpd
[21:00] <tobbes> but when I try it says no such process
[21:00] <jutnux> celltech: I'm sure the Windows version wouldn't kill you :-) What OS are you on at the minute?
[21:00] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: Err.. my bad. ifconfig wlan0 up
[21:00] <celltech> Myrtti Did that but my oracle keeps corrupting
[21:00] <inashdeen> second, anyone here knows how didi hotot uses html in its application.i am trying to do just the same. making a gui with html and then run bash scripts from it
[21:00] <tobbes> has anybody had any problems building apache2 from source on ubuntu 11?
[21:00] <abstrakt> beblah, you don't want the STA driver, you want the b34 driver
[21:01] <VictorCL2> SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
[21:01] <abstrakt> beblah, go to Applications -> Settings -> Additional Drivers
[21:01] <abstrakt> beblah, is the STA driver both present and "activated"? it will have a green circle if it is activated.
[21:02] <beblah> abstrakt: it only says No proprietary drivers are installed
[21:02] <VictorCL2> yeehaw SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
[21:02] <Callum> Guys, could anybody tell me the minimum RAM for a Ubuntu installation?
[21:02] <abstrakt> beblah, ok good
[21:02] <Callum> Is it 64 MB or 32 MB RAM?
[21:02] <abstrakt> beblah, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[21:02] <xangua> Callum: i would guess 512
[21:02] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: sec
[21:02] <Callum> Oh, did it used to be different?
[21:02] <abstrakt> beblah, sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer
[21:03] <abstrakt> beblah, then reboot, and hopefully your card should "just work"
[21:03] <oCean> Callum: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[21:03] <jutnux> 384mb Callum
[21:03] <Callum> That's recommended
[21:03] <Lufti_oO> I have big problem while installing ubuntu 11.10 64bit: The install assistant is still open. Its command line says "ready if you are". The assistants current form it displays is "Keyboard layout" where you have to choose your lazout. I did that, klicked continue, everything is now grayed out (no back or continue possible) and nothing happens. I waited one hour.
[21:03] <abstrakt> beblah, I just did this about an hour ago
[21:03] <Lufti_oO> anz idea?
[21:03] <Benkinooby> yeehaw, VictorCL2 i know that message.. hard to find with google, but the solution is a oneliner
[21:03] <Callum> I saw another page somewhere, saying the bare minimum
[21:03] <beblah> abstrakt: ok, but my only option is to connect via ethernet at this point?
[21:03] <xangua> Callum: you may be confused with 'minimal instalation'
[21:03] <beblah> to install the 2 packages with apt-get
[21:03] <pfifo> Callum, you can get by with much less bu youll have to use the alternat installer and no Xorg
[21:03] <jutnux> Although it'd be as slow as heck.
[21:03] <abstrakt> beblah, yes, you will need to connect via ethernet
[21:03] <abstrakt> beblah, yes
[21:03] <jutnux> Callum: XFCE runs on 384mb though, quite well too.
[21:04] <beblah> ok thanks for the link, very helpful
[21:04] <beblah> bbl :)
[21:04] <xangua> pfifo: the alternate will just install normal desktop, not a lighter one :/
[21:04] <abstrakt> Lufti_oO, try rebooting and do it again maybe. I had some strange issues with the ubuntu installer and I just rebooted and tried again and it was fine
[21:04] <Benkinooby> yeehaw, VictorCL2 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/ip-alias-siocsifflags-cannot-assign-requested-address-912985/ see the second post
[21:04] <xk00zx> Hello - fairly new to ubuntu, came in earlier with a sound issue for recording with ffmpeg - after installing and moving around a bunch of packages, I didn't feel like it was helping, however, it seemed to fix "Desktop Recorder" (wasn't able to use it before going down the ffmpeg route - video was sped up). Now I can record, and get audio, but only from the first device setup in alsamixer - (line OR microphone) - is there a way to record
[21:04] <xk00zx>  both?
[21:05] <pfifo> xangua, i mean in the final install, he wont be able to use X
[21:05] <abstrakt> xk00zx, what kind of recording are you doing?
[21:05] <abstrakt> xk00zx, are you actually doing live streaming, or are you more like a "recording studio" where you record musicians and the mix things together?
[21:05] <Benkinooby> yeehaw, VictorCL2 oh, srry, that was for an other siocsifflag error
[21:06] <xk00zx> abstrakt - Minecraft video for youtube - its a java game
[21:06]  * Tech-1 Please deposit obsolete microsoft products to you're nearest green box trash receptacle and enjoy Ubuntu linux.
[21:06] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: Please give me lspci -v in a pastebin. Not in chat
[21:06] <Lufti_oO> abstrakt, thanks!
[21:06] <abstrakt> I have heard of Minecraft, I have not yet played it
[21:06] <abstrakt> minecraft is java?
[21:06] <VictorCL2> ok
[21:06] <ssdrd> hello, on my ubuntu server localhost seems to be broken . After reboot "ping localhost" won't return anything until I do ifconfig lo <IP_ADDRESS> manually. Does anyone know how to fix that?
[21:06] <yeehaw> Benkinooby: thx anyway
[21:06] <oCean> Tech-1: please don't post such nonsense here
[21:06] <xk00zx> abstrakt it is - runs fine no matter what os - one of the reasons i felt comfortable switching from windows is i could still play minecraft.
[21:07] <pfifo> xk00zx, linux dosent have a good alternative to fraps
[21:07] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: error seems to relate with the firmware nog being correctly loaded from the driver. So let's see if we can fix that
[21:07] <VictorCL2> ok thanks a lot
[21:07] <abstrakt> xk00zx, so how does ffmpeg relate?
[21:07] <abstrakt> actually gtg in for a bit... bbl
[21:07] <xk00zx> pfifo - agreed, i'm making it work so far with "Desktop Recorder" - just having issues with the audio - i'm quite impressed with the quality however.
[21:08] <Benkinooby> yeehaw, just saw that it is a driver thing
[21:08] <xk00zx> abstrakt - not exactly sure - although i was attempting to use ffmpeg as a recorder, and went down quite a list of adding packages from an older ubuntu help thread on ffmpeg - and i think it helped the program Desktop Recorder - not sure what I did, but it works now.
[21:09] <yeehaw> Benkinooby: indeed, that's the reason that I want to see the lspci -v output. Need to know what driver needs to be loaded correctly and what firmware is not
[21:09] <xk00zx> abstrakt - my issue is just setting the first "default" device for recording to be line input and my microphone...
[21:09] <moegreen> hey guys i just got my new ATI Radeon card and need to install the drivers but how do i install my old previous NVIDIA drivers so i get a clean ATI install?
[21:10] <moegreen> *uninstall NVIDIA
[21:10] <Benkinooby> yeehaw, as i installed ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop (= same model as VictorCL2) i think i just had to run jockey-gtk and it was fixed
[21:10] <Benkinooby> VictorCL2, did you run jockey-gtk?
[21:11] <VictorCL2> yeehaw http://paste.ubuntu.com/772677/
[21:11] <VictorCL2> Benkinooby jockey-gtk ? no what is it¿?
[21:11] <pfifo> moegreen, you dont need to uninstall the drives just add it to the blacklist
[21:12] <alvarezp> Hi. I just installed Ubuntu Oneiric on an amd64. Right now, my only source is "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric main" but I'm seeing duplicate packages in aptitude (like network-manager, nmap...) Google hasn't helped so far. Any ideas?
[21:12] <Benkinooby> VictorCL2, open a terminal and run 'sudo jockey-gtk' it is a tool for finding drivers for you... it will provide a driver with "STA" in its name... install that driver and reboot
[21:13] <YeeP> Can anyone give me some recommendations on the swap partition size?
[21:13] <yeehaw> Benkinooby, VictorCL2: Lol, I didn't know about that tool. Always doing things the hard way :p
[21:13] <pfifo> YeeP, double your physical memory
[21:13] <YeeP> ok, thats what I have heard
[21:13] <YeeP> thanks.
[21:13] <alvarezp> YeeP, it depends on your usage. But 1 to 2 times your physical memory is good.
[21:13] <oCean> alvarezp: I'm not an aptitude user, but what does  apt-cache policy nmap  show? This should list available packages including their repo
[21:14] <Benkinooby> yeehaw, don't praise the day before evening... let's see what that thing can do... maybe the hard ways is the only one to go
[21:14] <tjayh913> ugh, trying to dual boot and my hard drive already has wierd partitions in it
[21:14] <yeehaw> Benkinooby: :-)
[21:14] <AaronDCampbell> Is there a good (up to date) tutorial on setting up two Ubuntu 11.10 installs to use rsync to move files between them?
[21:15] <VictorCL2> Benkinooby but I dont have internet
[21:15] <VictorCL2> to use that tool
[21:15] <YeeP> I was getting errors in my last setup where there was not enough space in /boot
[21:15] <alvarezp> oCean, weirdly enough: for nmap, which is uninstalled, only one entry (500 http://...) -- For network-manager, which is installed, 2 entries (100 /var/lib... and 500 http://...)
[21:15] <YeeP> for a reinstall, any tips on how to avoid that
[21:15] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: How are you on irc?
[21:15] <VictorCL2> on my other computer
[21:16] <Benkinooby> VictorCL2, how do you think you'll get drivers, no matter what way, jockey or manually, if you don't have internet?
[21:16] <yeehaw> err leave irc, switch network cable. Try it and come back if it does not :p
[21:16] <yeehaw> *work
[21:16] <tjayh913> hmm, ugh
[21:16] <VictorCL2>  I dont know , I could install them with a pendrive
[21:16] <Benkinooby> VictorCL2, is there a way you get internet to the computer that needs the driver?
[21:16] <VictorCL2> well I dont know if I have a network cable to hook up to the router
[21:16] <pfifo> !offline | VictorCL2
[21:17] <alvarezp> oCean, I noticed that, for network-manager, only one of the two packages is marked as installed. That one has a description. The uninstalled one doesn't have a description. Both have the same version number. This is a clean installation.
[21:17] <tjayh913> how do I get the ubuntu automatic partitioner to change which part of the hard drive to mess with, as it has currently picked a tiny one
[21:17] <VictorCL2> ok Ifound a cable
[21:17] <VictorCL2> I will to to the router and run that command xD
[21:17] <VictorCL2> wait
[21:17] <tjayh913> somehow its trying to use a 7.1GB part of the hard drive, where there should be a few hundred gig available for it
[21:17] <nodestool> what is the name of the GUI tool to create live thumbdrives from .iso images?
[21:18] <oCean> alvarezp: weird. I cannot think of what happened.
[21:18] <YeeP> nodestool: using which OS
[21:18] <oCean> alvarezp: and you have this with other packages as well?
[21:18] <BarkingFish> nodestool:  do you mean unetbootin?
[21:18] <nodestool> YeeP: Xubuntu
[21:18] <alvarezp> oCean, some of them only.
[21:18] <BarkingFish> nope, obviously you don't :)
[21:18] <nodestool> in gnome you choose like "live cd creator" or something can't remember, what it was called.
[21:18] <tjayh913> It gives me a place to select a drive, but it will only give me one option, can anyone help, please?
[21:19] <nodestool> xubutu doesn't have such a tool or if it does i don't know what its called
[21:19] <nodestool> tjayh913: havn't had that problem before, only time i have had to do stuff like that was with the alternate cds
[21:20] <YeeP> unetbootin
[21:20] <xangua> nodestool: go to menu-sound and video-gnome baker¿¿
[21:20] <xangua> no idea what app uses xfce to burn
[21:20] <oCean> alvarezp: I don't use aptitude, so sorry I cannot check and compare on my system
[21:20] <xangua> xfce-burn i believe :P
[21:20] <YeeP> isnt there somthing called USB Startup Disk Creator
[21:20] <YeeP> in xubuntu
[21:21] <jutnux> Not that I know of.
[21:21] <tjayh913> first time it tried to install on my external, o.O
[21:21] <jutnux> Why not use unetbootin?
[21:21] <nodestool> xangua: well i want a live usb, i mean i think i could do it with `dd if=distro.iso of=/dev/sda1` or something like that
[21:21] <pfifo> nodestool, you could use grub2 isoboot
[21:21] <nodestool> BladeFreak: unetbootin seems like more than i need
[21:22] <urlin2u> nodestool, unetbootin will do it and give you a persistant setup for ubuntu if you want.
[21:22] <YeeP> unetbootin can be installed then correct?
[21:22] <xangua> nodestool: no idea if the ubunty iso supports dd, just use unetbootin or ubuntu's startup disk tool
[21:22] <nodestool> xangua: ah thats it startup disk tool
[21:22] <nodestool> whats that called?
[21:22] <YeeP> (2:21:50 PM) YeeP: isnt there somthing called USB Startup Disk Creator
[21:22] <BladeFreak> nodestool: no kidding :)
[21:22] <urlin2u> Startup Disk Creator
[21:23] <nodestool> usb-creator-gtk :) thanks all
[21:23] <tjayh913> sigh, about ready to give up trying to install this and just going back to Vista
[21:23] <YeeP> that is a sin
[21:23] <xangua> !who | YeeP
[21:23] <xangua> you can't expect people know who are you talking to
[21:24] <YeeP> wow, cool bot
[21:24] <nodestool> tty234: :( wish i could help, i don't have not run into that problem before, normally it seems all my disk, and then i slide for howmuch of it i want to use
[21:24] <tjayh913> maybe I should go back to it to figure out whether I can just delete these existing partitions
[21:24] <lamateur> salut tout le monde
[21:25] <YeeP> tjayh913: dual boot?
[21:25] <urlin2u> tjayh913, are you aware of the limits of types of partitions on a single HD 4 primaries or 3 primaries and one extended.
[21:25] <tjayh913> yep, thats why I am thinking they probably need to be deleted
[21:26] <urlin2u> !who | tjayh913
[21:26] <tjayh913> one I think is where Vista put its recovery data, already burned that to a cd, idk about this tiny 41mb fat16 partition though
[21:27] <urlin2u> tjayh913, use the tab complete so we know who your talking to, and recognize that threatening to go back to vista just gets rofl from everybody here. :D
[21:27] <cannonfodda> hi all. where do i set nautilus as default file manager 11.10 gnome shell?
[21:28] <tjayh913> not threatening, just commenting at my own state of frustration anyway
[21:28] <xk00zx> Is there a way to use alsamixer to trick a program into using more than one input (or to merge inputs and set as the default recording) for recording (using Desktop Recorder, and want to use a Microphone AND the Line for recording a java game) Desktop Recorder seems to only record whatever device is set to first.
[21:28] <xangua> cannonfodda: nautilus is the default file manager on gnome shell, explain yourself
[21:28] <xangua> on gnome*
[21:28] <jutnux> xangua: Marlin <3
[21:29] <urlin2u> tjayh913, use the tab to addresss another user type a few letters of their nic then hit tab to complete please, not the :
[21:29] <tjayh913> urlin2u: would be temporary anyway until I can sort this out, prefer my main pc that I am working on for IRC and looking things up
[21:29] <cannonfodda> i seem to remember changing it to thunar a while agao & now want to change it back
[21:29] <xangua> cannonfodda: then do the reverse you did i guess
[21:29] <urlin2u> tjayh913, cool the recovery partiton would be at least the size of a install dvd, or the installed OS.
[21:30] <cannonfodda> i can't remember where or how i did it
[21:30] <Benkinooby> VictorCL2, any news?
[21:30] <tjayh913> urlin2u: would you have any idea what this tiny partition in fat16 format would be for and if I need it?
[21:30] <xk00zx> cannonfodda : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DefaultFileManager
[21:31] <urlin2u> tjayh913, if you take a screen shot of gparted and imagebin it we can tell what each partition is and does and give you a plan.
[21:31] <cannonfodda> xk00zx: thamks:)
[21:31] <tjayh913> okay, thanks, will return to this chat on my main pc
[21:31] <xk00zx> cannonfodda - np
[21:32] <urlin2u> tjayh913, tha partition could be a boot or firmware probably. If you just remove the boot you may need to reload the boot files to the main C partition better doen before then after. Are yo backed up? Do you have a recovery or install disc as well?
[21:33] <xk00zx> Anyone around and good with recording with alsamixer/Desktop Recorder? Can't record both line input and microphone input at the same time for some reason...
[21:33] <tjayh913> Oh can use this while still in linux!
[21:34] <VictorCL2> Benkinooby , yeehaw .. it found a broadcom driver and some nvidia . and is instaling them right now :D
[21:34] <nodestool> xk00zx: aren't there tools like audacity or rosebud that are ment for makeing that stuff easy?
[21:34] <nodestool> xk00zx: i am not sure i just thought so
[21:34] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: great :-)
[21:34] <tjayh913> urlin2u: realized I closed the old chat too early, what program did you tell me to use to get a screenshot?
[21:34] <prova> !list
[21:35] <tjayh913> wait, think I just said the wrong name, lol
[21:35] <xk00zx> nodestool: I haven't tried those - i'm trying to do a video/audio capture of a game I play, (can do it much easier in Windows) but I can only trick my program into "listening" to one input at a time - there should be a way to either trick the program into listening to both and thinking its one or the other?
[21:36] <urlin2u> tjayh913, you can hit the prtsc button or use take a screen shot post it here and give us the http. http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add
[21:37] <alvarezp> oCean, found it.
[21:37] <tjayh913> glad I figured out how to still have web and irc whilst installing
[21:37] <oCean> alvarezp: yay!
[21:38] <xk00zx> nodestool - i dont know what rosebud is, and audacity works  fine for just audio, - i guess i'm wondering if there is a way I can premix my audio so the "default" audio that my program picks up has both inputs, not just whatever one i have selected...
[21:39] <tjayh913> urlin2u: http://imagebin.org/188932
[21:40] <alvarezp> oCean, aptitude doesn't support multiarch. Thank you very much for your help.
[21:40] <VictorCL2> yeehaw Benkinooby ,it has installed a broadcom driver , but it wont let me activate it
[21:40] <VictorCL2> I set it to ON and it goes to OFF inmediately
[21:41] <oCean> alvarezp: good to hear you found it. Even though I wasn't much of help.
[21:41] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: How did you set it on?
[21:41] <Benkinooby> VictorCL2, did you reoot?
[21:41] <alishah> hi, when ever i try opening a website i get this error in fireFox provided with ubuntu-11.10.
[21:41] <Benkinooby> reboot
[21:41] <alishah> The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
[21:41] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: What Benkinooby said
[21:42] <VictorCL2> I reebooted already
[21:42] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: Then how do you set in on?
[21:42] <guest_> Hi, I am curious what the --- means when I bring up the permission properties in ubuntu on a file or folder? I have the options for folder access as either none , list files only , access files  , create and delete files , ---
[21:42] <magnus14027> anyone else running 12.04 beta?
[21:42] <VictorCL2> on the network window .. wireless-> ON
[21:42] <VictorCL2> goes to OFF inmeditaely
[21:42] <urlin2u> tjayh913, that's the install take a picture of gparted it is in the menu. That looks like your boot partition, but is rather small.
[21:43] <Benkinooby> VictorCL2, open a terminal, enter dmesg and see if there is something about weirelss netowrking coming up
[21:43] <VictorCL2> iwconfig now changed : eth1 IEEE 802.11 acceess point: Not-associated
[21:43] <VictorCL2> eth0 no wireless extensions
[21:43] <nodestool> VictorCL2: what hardware?
[21:43] <nodestool> VictorCL2: what driver?
[21:43] <VictorCL2> wait
[21:43] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: What does lsmod | grep bcm give you?
[21:44] <Benkinooby> VictorCL2, eth0 is your wired network, eth1 is your wirless adapter
[21:44] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: Does iwconfig show a wlan0 ?
[21:44] <nodestool> VictorCL2: `lshw -C network`
[21:44] <guest_> does anybody know --- ?
[21:45] <rhinux1> hi, other user, same problem :)  eth0 no wirelss extension, but I had some time before the right driver. now I have pan1
[21:45] <VictorCL2> nodestool : PCI (sysfs)
[21:45] <nodestool> VictorCL2: wait a moment
[21:45] <nodestool> VictorCL2: more will come up
[21:45] <VictorCL2> yeehaw that returns nothing
[21:45] <yeehaw> guest_: http://www.december.com/unix/ref/chmod.html
[21:46] <alvarezp> guest_, I don't follow. That's what it means. Depending on the option that's what it means.
[21:46] <rhinux1> @nodestool: iwconfig doesnt show any at lo, eth0,pan1
[21:46] <tjayh913> wow the fish out of water feeling trying to find gparted after installing it, lol
[21:46] <VictorCL2> ok nodestool I got a big message
[21:46] <nodestool> VictorCL2: yeah look at capabilities:
[21:46] <urlin2u> tjayh913, you don't have to install it. Type gparted in the dash
[21:46] <nodestool> VictorCL2: make sure it says "wireless"
[21:47] <VictorCL2> it doesnt
[21:47] <nodestool> VictorCL2: above that it will say "logical name:" with some value
[21:47] <urlin2u> tjayh913, the dash is that button at the top of the left panel, you find all apps there.:D
[21:47] <VictorCL2> description: Wireless interface
[21:47] <VictorCL2> logical name: eth0
[21:47] <tjayh913> ah, thats how it works, lol
[21:47] <guest_> wait I am trying to figure out how --- is different then the other option that you can select for file /folder access . Sorry I am not understanding you
[21:47] <alishah> why do i get this error in firefox "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." i am using mobile broadband on ubuntu 11.10
[21:47] <rhinux1> @nodestool:  'lshw -C network' says "product: BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN"
[21:48] <Benkinooby> VictorCL2, when you ran that jockey-thing, was there something with sta?
[21:48] <VictorCL2> yes Broadcom STA driver
[21:48] <Benkinooby> VictorCL2, when you ran that jockey-thing, was there a driver for your wirelesscard having STA in its name?
[21:48] <nodestool> rhinux1: who are you ?
[21:48] <VictorCL2> Benkinooby that's what has installed
[21:48] <nodestool> rhinux1: what is your question
[21:49] <Benkinooby> VictorCL2, oh... that was the one that worked for me... both should work, but the sta driver turned out to be better for me...
[21:49] <alvarezp> guest_, oh, I see! There is an option named "---".
[21:49] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: Silly question, did u put the wireless card on with the button on the laptop?
[21:49] <tjayh913> urlin2u: http://imagebin.org/188933
[21:50] <nodestool> yeehaw: not a silly question, happens all the time, and to the best of us ;)
[21:50] <Benkinooby> yeehaw, VictorCL2 so that command line output can be posted
[21:50] <VictorCL2> nodestool yes it does say wireless on capabilities
[21:50] <Odaym> how do I separate the paths that I want to add to $PATH in .bashrc?
[21:50] <VictorCL2> logical name eth1
[21:50] <nodestool> Odaym: :
[21:50] <rhinux1> @nodestool: (22:45:09) rhinux1: hi, other user, same problem :)  eth0 no wirelss extension, but I had some time before the right driver. now I have pan1
[21:50] <nodestool> Odaym: for instance  `exprot PATH=$PATH:/my/new/path`
[21:51] <jost> hi! I want to output raw pcm data to my soundcard in ubuntu 11.10. How to do that from a C++-program without too much effort?
[21:51] <rhinux1> (22:46:08) rhinux1: @nodestool: iwconfig doesnt show any at lo, eth0,pan1
[21:51] <jost> I've already tried writing to the various /dev/snd/ devices
[21:51] <nodestool> rhinux1: is your hardward turned on, like the button on the laptop?
[21:51] <VictorCL2> yeehaw I dont know what button . it is Fn+f5 to turn off on the wireless
[21:51] <tjayh913> urlin2u: so it does look like it is just more files that came with the computer and not necessary
[21:52] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: Does that change anything?
[21:52] <rhinux1> yes, that was my first thought
[21:52] <VictorCL2> when I press them .. it makes a weird noise :s
[21:52] <Benkinooby> Oo
[21:52] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: VIRUS. just kidding. Well that's odd
[21:52] <rhinux1> @nodestool: yes its turned on
[21:52] <alvarezp> guest_, it's not documented in the help either. However, when you use ls -ld on a folder and it has no permissions, the permissions will be shown as ---, so it *might* be the same as none.
[21:53] <nodestool> rhinux1: what driver does it say you are using?
[21:53] <VictorCL2> yeehaw when I press Fn+f it tries to turn on the wifi .. but it goes OFF right away
[21:53] <urlin2u> tjayh913, cool I would leave all partitions there you only have three that works. Vista has a virtual partitioner you need to shrink the main partition=sda3 leaving a larger unalocated space then install ubuntu the, but make a extended partition in that unallocated with gparted then a ext4 then a swap inside the extended, and use the same install screen you showed first to install to that ext4.
[21:53] <nodestool> rhinux1: it would be under configure:
[21:53] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: Do you have a single boot or double boot config on the netbook?
[21:53] <rhinux1> I used before a "bc..." but now in lsmod | grep bc it is not the driver anymore
[21:53] <VictorCL2> should I do this now -> http://fakkelbrigade.eu/chris/blog/2010/12/wireless-not-working-in-ubuntu-on-the-lenovo-ideapad-s12/
[21:54] <urlin2u> tjayh913, hope that makes sense.
[21:54] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: You can try, you can always remove it again if it does'nt work
[21:54] <rhinux1> I guess after kernel update 2.6.x to 3. the driver name changed or isnt loaded anymore automatically?
[21:54] <guest_> Is their any ubuntu developers out their that can tell me what the difference between --- and the other access levels
[21:54] <alvarezp> guest_, however, it doesn't seem to accept that option.
[21:54] <King_Ozzy> there
[21:55] <yeehaw> rhinux1: sudo jockey-gtk
[21:55] <rhinux1> my laptop is a HP Pavillion dv6000
[21:55] <nodestool> VictorCL2: what driver does it use?
[21:55] <nodestool> rhinux1: what driver?
[21:55] <yeehaw> nodestool: bcm43
[21:55] <yeehaw> for VictorCL2
[21:55] <nodestool> i don't know bcm43 :/
[21:55] <urlin2u> guest_, the developers don't hang out here
[21:55] <tjayh913> urlin2u: I think so, so you are saying that I need to return to Vista and shrink its partition from there?
[21:55] <VictorCL2> yeehaw that did  turn it on  : rmmod acer_wmi && echo "blacklist acer_wmi" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[21:56] <alvarezp> guest_, yes, but gets changed back to something else (sometimes)
[21:56] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: awesome, so you can connect now?
[21:56] <VictorCL2> wait
[21:57] <norty> Can someone help me? I'm running ubuntu karmic and when I update my packages it says that it "Could not download all repository indexes". How can I fix this?
[21:57] <yeehaw> norty: Run apt-get update again?
[21:57] <VictorCL2> hurray yes it did ^^
[21:57] <rhinux1> @nodestool: Broadcom-STA-WLAN-Treiber, with Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4313-, BCM4321-,BCM4322-, BCM43224-, and BCM43225-, BCM43227- and BCM43228-based hardware.
[21:57] <VictorCL2> it is connected
[21:57] <yeehaw> VictorCL2: gz :-)
[21:57] <VictorCL2> yeehaw , Benkinooby thanks a lot
[21:57] <alvarezp> guest_, I have concluded that I don't have the slightest clue either.
[21:57] <nodestool> VictorCL2: congrats!!!
[21:57] <urlin2u> tjayh913, yeah, I have been told vista has a virtual partitioner like W7 then reboot it to make sure its okay, then make a extended in the unallcated with gparted on the install ubutn cd and a ext4 and swap inside the extended and use the same custom/other install you showed in the first screenshot to install to the ext4
[21:58] <Benkinooby> VictorCL2, you're welcome
[21:58] <yeehaw> rhinux1: Try what VictorCL2 did
[21:58] <jamesaxl> hi
[21:58] <hikenboot> anyone ever try proxmox ubuntu and iscsi and MSCS disks...I am looking for new enough features to support this combination...debian is one revision behind for proxmox (so it doesnt run on wheezy)
[21:58] <tjayh913> urlin2u: thank you for your help
[21:58] <overclucker> broadcom chips can be a pain
[21:58] <yeehaw> rhinux1: http://fakkelbrigade.eu/chris/blog/2010/12/wireless-not-working-in-ubuntu-on-the-lenovo-ideapad-s12/
[21:58] <nodestool> yeah i have not used a broadcom chip
[21:58] <norty> yeehaw, I just did. It errors out when trying to fetch some sources and says "Failed to fetch http://.. 404 Not Found" and at the end says "Some index files failes to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead"
[21:59] <pastorbelga> @search john grisham abduction
[21:59] <oCean> pastorbelga: ?
[21:59] <yeehaw> norty: What version are you using of ubuntu?
[21:59] <geoffmcc> norty: its reached EOL
[21:59] <jack> ok, i got the oneiric iso
[21:59] <nodestool> oCean: pastorbelga looks for a DCC
[21:59] <oCean> nodestool: I'm aware
[21:59] <norty> yeehaw, Ubuntu 9.10 - Karmic Koala
[22:00] <norty> geoffmcc, what does that mean?
[22:00] <urlin2u> tjayh913, no problem, 'm waiting for a friend to call to do the same exact thing right now on a Toshiba given to them, lol.
[22:00] <norty> yeehaw, when I try to do a distribution update, it doesn't let me for the same reasons
[22:00] <urlin2u> norty, 9.10 is end of life.
[22:00] <VictorCL> ^^
[22:00] <geoffmcc> norty: its end of life. no further support
[22:00] <jack> now how can i burn it? i've booted from a livedvd, the burner is the same drive
[22:01] <yeehaw> norty: I would make a backup and do a fresh install of the latest version
[22:01] <norty> geoffmcc, ah ok. shouldn't common packages still be available for download though?
[22:01] <yeehaw> Or if you hate Unity, Linux mint
[22:01] <diablo84> Hi.
[22:01] <hikenboot> anyone at all get proxmox 2.0 running on 11.04? save some time trying it maybe
[22:01] <TikaTaka> hi does anyone know why the ubuntu software center just doesnt install anything? just did a net install of ubuntu hardy.
[22:01] <geoffmcc> norty: i dont belive the repositories exist anymore, and i thought i saw you were tying to update
[22:01] <tjayh913> well will at least go and unallocate some of the HD, will see how far I can get after that, bye
[22:02] <nodestool> yeehaw: there are a few different ubuntu desktops, i use xfce4, some might use kde4, etc...
[22:02] <diablo84> Question: I installed dwm and have created both .xinitrc and .xsession in my home file but ubuntu ignores them after loggin in. Why is that?
[22:02] <oCean> geoffmcc: norty the repos still exist, but are moved to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[22:02] <norty> oCean, oh nice, let me see if I can change the urls and if it'll work
[22:02] <yeehaw> nodestool: I'm aware. But Linux mint gives an ubuntu like experience with the old gnome interface imho
[22:02] <urlin2u> norty, look here you can upgrade.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[22:02] <oCean> norty: but there are no updates in those repos
[22:03] <yeehaw> nodestool: I'm not sure about the latest version btw :P
[22:03] <kerx> hi all, how can I install glib >= 2.6.0 ?
[22:03] <urlin2u> norty, I would backup and reload a new distro if it was me though.
[22:03] <Star_Light> allo.
[22:03] <antoeanto> ciao
[22:03] <yeehaw> kerx: apt-cache search glib
[22:03] <antoeanto> !list
[22:04] <kerx> yeehaw, lots of packages show up, none of which just say glib or glib-devel or anything like that
[22:04] <DemonWitch> FUCK UBUNTU
[22:04] <trism> kerx: libglib2.0-dev
[22:05] <jutnux> DemonWitch: You are free to express your dislike of Ubuntu, just try not to swear.
[22:05] <norty> urlin2u, and oCean, thats for the suggestions, let me try a few of them and see what happens, if all else fails I'll have to do a clean install -- if i have to do that what is the best distro to use? I'm concerned because im running a lenovo t410 thinkpad and i had a few troubles getting ubuntu working on it initially
[22:05] <VictorCL2> is there a good mac theme for ubuntu 11.10 ?
[22:05] <jost> Any hints on how to play raw PCM data with little effort from a C++ program?
[22:05] <TikaTaka> i just did a net install of ubuntu, but everytime i try to install something in the software center it just doesnt install. no error or anything
[22:05] <jutnux> VictorCL2: I think MacBuntu works with GTK3
[22:06] <urlin2u> norty, I would supect 11.10 would work.
[22:06] <abu-bakr> how can one tell who has op status in this room?
[22:06] <urlin2u> suspect*
[22:06] <VictorCL2> does it use too much resource to run on a netbook?
[22:06] <urlin2u> abu-bakr, why?
[22:06] <auronandace> abu-bakr: they only become ops when necessary
[22:06] <yeehaw> abu-bakr: Just spam a couple times and look who bans you ;-)
[22:06] <hylian> my trash can in xfce disappears and reappears whenever it feels like it...??
[22:07] <jutnux> yeehaw: I was going to say the same but refrained :-)
[22:07] <Kubbur> how do i send a command to a detatched screen without opening it ?
[22:07] <abu-bakr> cool thanks
[22:07] <abu-bakr> its been years since i used a proper irc client so just not used to the new look
[22:07] <abu-bakr> looks good
[22:07] <jutnux> What client are you using abu-bakr?
[22:08] <abu-bakr> anyway guys I need help with something hopefully you are the right folks for the job
[22:08] <abu-bakr> i'm on empathy
[22:08] <alishah> my browser started giving me "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." on google yahoo bing facebook utube
[22:08] <abu-bakr> on ubuntu
[22:08] <alishah> what should i do
[22:08] <abu-bakr> any good?
[22:08] <alishah> internet seems to be working fine
[22:08] <hylian> abu-bakr, i'm a xchat person myself, but empathy works.
[22:08] <alishah> i am using firefox
[22:08] <alishah> that comes with ubuntu ~
[22:08] <alishah> 11.10
[22:09] <yeehaw> Kubbur: abu-bakr irssi ftw
[22:09] <abu-bakr> i think i briefly used xchat but not enough to remember it :s
[22:09] <BlauskaerM> abu-bakr, hylian, it should be irssi ;)
[22:09] <Sefid_Par> !nmap
[22:09] <urlin2u> alishah, you have a lot of history and cookies?
[22:09] <yeehaw> Lol autocomplete failure
[22:09] <alishah> urlin2u: should i try deleting my history?
[22:09] <TikaTaka> i cant seem to make any app install in the ubuntu software centre
[22:09] <geoffmcc> Kubbur: i would suspect by first naming the window screen -S some name and then using screen -X to send command to it.. see man screen
[22:09] <rhinux1> @nodestool @yeehaw so, "rmmod wl" and reload "modprobe b43" works
[22:09] <abu-bakr> ok folks, i have 3 fresh drives and want to create a raid 5 array
[22:09] <pien1> irc.darksin.it
[22:10] <yeehaw> rhinux1: You have internet now?
[22:10] <deetaha> Hi.
[22:10] <petafile> I have a cluster of servers (12) and a head node.  Is there a convenient way to have the slave nodes boot off of an image stored on the master?
[22:10] <abu-bakr> however my question is.. do i copy my old partition over on to one of the new disks first or do i create the array first?
[22:10] <urlin2u> alishah, hard to say but I run FF with no history or cookies saved and a few choice addons that block script and adds, and cookies
[22:10] <abu-bakr> (old drive is dying)
[22:10] <hylian> thats an extermely offensive name petafile.
[22:10] <deetaha> How can I disable the ubuntu login screen using the command line? I am using 11.10.
[22:10] <urlin2u> deetaha, you want to autologin?
[22:10] <norty> oCean, thanks I changed all my repos to old-releases and i was able to get what i wanted. thanks man!!
[22:11] <petafile> hylian: a/s/l?
[22:11] <petafile> lol
[22:11] <bobalazs> Anybody have a solution for this? I'm using vesa as default screen driver, bc the proposed unichrome driver causes the mouse to disappear on the connected external display (laptop)
[22:11] <kerx> whoah, "Processing triggers for man-db ..."   I have dwm installed and it seems that the login screen causes the system to ignore both .xsession and .xinitrc.
[22:12] <kerx> nah, it has ~12GB free
[22:12] <yeehaw> kerx: Whait that doesn't make sense
[22:12] <tjayh913> ugh. shrinking my Vista partition does not sound easy
[22:12] <kerx> crap, whatever
[22:12] <abu-bakr> Raid5 anyone/
[22:12] <hylian> my trash can in xfce disappears and reappears whenever it feels like it...??
[22:13] <urlin2u> deetaha, not sure then you might give a full account to get help though.
[22:13] <geoffmcc> tjayh913: admin tools/computer management/disk managment then right click partiton choose shrink, set size
[22:13] <yeehaw> hylian: It has to be emptied sometimes
[22:13] <sdaugherty> Ugh. Hadn't used ubuntu in a while, and tried to walk someone through doing something over the phone with a livecd.
[22:13] <abu-bakr> no one have experience with Raid arrays?
[22:14] <Dysaniak> Why is it that I can't simply open the launcher, and search for files?
[22:14] <yeehaw> abu-bakr: sorry no
[22:14] <auronandace> !raid | abu-bakr
[22:14] <abu-bakr> ok folks how do I get someones attention on that?
[22:14] <sdaugherty> It was completely hopeless with the new desktop. They ended up having to reformat instead of being helped.
[22:14] <hylian> yeehaw, no seriously, the thing disappears like a cheep vegas side show act, and then it shows up again the same way. it's been empty for weeks
[22:14] <deetaha> urlin2u: I don't get you.
[22:14] <abu-bakr> ubottu thanks
[22:14] <sdaugherty> Text labels are CRITICAL to phone support.
[22:14] <yeehaw> hylian: I'm sorry mate, I don't know much about xfce.
[22:15] <urlin2u> deetaha, I can't help, but if you explain what you have done and your goal you will likely get help. Disabling the login makes no sense to me.
[22:15] <hylian> yeehaw, whell thanks for trying :)
[22:15] <Dysaniak> I have an incredibly difficult time searching for files by name. It would be nice to have a 'lens', is it called?, to search through GUI.
[22:15] <tjayh913> well can give me 161gb, should be plenty for linux
[22:15] <abu-bakr> Ok auronandace ... thanks
[22:15] <abu-bakr> :)
[22:15] <yeehaw> So is ubottu open source? :p maybe installing it as a siri replacement ? :P
[22:15] <deetaha> Why does ubuntu ignore the files .xsession and .xinitrc?
[22:15] <auronandace> abu-bakr: no worries :)
[22:15] <urlin2u> tjayh913, the vista partitioner will shrink it that far?
[22:15] <Gentoo64> Dysaniak: there should be one.
[22:15] <geoffmcc> yeehaw: it runs on supybot. you can then get ubuntu scripts from lp:ubuntu-bot i believe
[22:16] <tjayh913> currently a 900gb partition
[22:16] <abu-bakr> Ok.. while the page loads
[22:16] <yeehaw> geoffmcc: :-)
[22:16] <abu-bakr> does anyone know if I should copy my partition over onto one of the raid disks first
[22:16] <abu-bakr> or after creating the array
[22:16] <abu-bakr> ?
[22:16] <urlin2u> tjayh913, that makes sense yes that plenty to run ubuntu and you can resize later if you want more
[22:16] <overclucker> abu-bakr: setup raid first
[22:16] <urlin2u> that's*
[22:17] <hylian> Dysaniak, how about catfish? it's a dandy file search program.
[22:17] <TikaTaka> clicking install does nothing on the software center, should i report this as a bug?
[22:17] <abu-bakr> overclucker: thanks.. and then I can use gparted to copy the old partition over?
[22:18] <Dysaniak> hylian: Never heard of it. Will apt-get catfish work?
[22:18] <deetaha> urlin2u: I installed dwm as an alternative to Gnome. When startx fires up it should read .xinitrc and execute its content. For some reason ubuntu doesn't and I think the reason is that the way it logs in forces it to ignore that file.
[22:18] <hylian> !catfush
[22:18] <abu-bakr> old part is 70gb and the raid array will be 300gb
[22:18] <overclucker> abu-bakr: that may not work
[22:18] <auronandace> !info catfish | hylian
[22:18] <hylian> !catfish
[22:18] <Dysaniak> Gentoo64: A lens? You mean, already installed? Not sure how to access such a thing by hot-key.
[22:18] <tjayh913> and back to Ubuntu
[22:18] <urlin2u> tjayh913, don't forget the extended in the unallocated with gparted this will keep you from putting too many partitions and making your HD dynamic.
[22:19] <hylian> auronandace, Dysaniak wanted the info, not me, but thanks.
[22:19] <Dysaniak> What the heck is the name of that search bar in Unity?
[22:19] <tjayh913> was going to use gparted from linux to do that
[22:19] <abu-bakr> or perhaps link the currently dying hard drive into the new array (4 disks total) then once synch is complete.. pull the failing disk?
[22:19] <urlin2u> deetaha, wish I knew I was more concerned that you get proper help.
[22:19] <Dysaniak> hylian: I got it. Danke.
[22:20] <hylian> my trash can in xfce disappears and reappears whenever it feels like it...??
[22:20] <hylian> oops
[22:21] <hylian> exit
[22:21] <Dysaniak> Gentoo64: I'm going with this: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/05/real-files-folders-search-unity-lens.html
[22:21] <deetaha> Which xsession file does the login screen run at startup?
[22:22] <overclucker> abu-bakr: are you replacing a failing drive in a raid array?
[22:23] <cheezygirl> salut
[22:23] <auronandace> !fr | cheezygirl
[22:23] <cheezygirl> je viens d'installer unbuntu pour la premiere fois
[22:24] <abu-bakr> overclucker: no.. the old drive was just on its own.. I now have 3 replacement drives so thought I would give Raid5 a shot (missing some of the speed of my ssd on the laptop :P )
[22:24] <deetaha> How can one get a shell instead of a login screen when ubuntu starts?
[22:24] <auronandace> !text | deetaha
[22:26] <urlin2u> deetaha, here are dwm tagged threads at the ubuntu forums this might help while you wait.  http://ubuntuforums.org/tags.php?tag=dwm
[22:27] <Kubbur> how do i send a command to a detatched specified screen without opening it ?
[22:28] <yeehaw> Kubbur: -x
[22:28] <murfie> Kubbur: you don't
[22:28] <tjayh913> urlin2u: so I have the extended partition, now I can install ubuntu on it?
[22:28] <Kubbur> murfie how come ?
[22:28] <JvA> Hi! I'm trying to make dash my default shell. However, to do that I want to run rlwrap around it to get tab completion. How do I set up /etc/passwd to make it start dash using rlwrap with some arguments?
[22:28] <murfie> Kubbur: probably not meant to work that way
[22:29] <JvA> Can I just change /bin/dash to something like /usr/bin/rlwrap arguments dash?
[22:29] <urlin2u> tjayh913, you put a ext4 inside of it and a swap equal to your ram first with gparted. Then hit install go to the original custom called other install window you posted and install to that ext4.
[22:30] <tjayh913> urlin2u:  thanks, thought there was another step in there, but was not sure
[22:31] <tjayh913> urlin2u: is it important that it be exactly equal, or just rougly?
[22:31] <urlin2u> tjayh913, easy part is you know how to get to that custom install window, you will neeed to put a / in for mount I believe as well. equal ormore on the swap so you can hibernate.
[22:32] <urlin2u> tjayh913, I'm going to starbucks for java now I think your set if not just ask questions.
[22:32] <murfie> java 7?
[22:34] <puff> I'm not sure this is really a bug, but maybe it should be reported.  Today I did an update and some things broke.  These were non-standard things, however, not normal apt stuff.  I had to do some fiddling with the oracle/sun JRE and firefox to get Juniper VPN working, and I had installed the proprietary Skype package.  Something broke the JRE/firefox, and likewise, skype disappeared.
[22:35] <overclucker> abu-bakr: it looks like using gparted to copy the old image over should work.
[22:36] <monostone> Hi everyone. I have a problem with cronjobs and permissions. I have a virtual hosting setup, with apache2.2+php5 running with fast-cgi wrapper and i need to run some php files via cgi daily with crontab. I first tried setting the cronjob to be run as the user fcgid is locked to, error: grandchild #30410 failed with exit status 255 (no permissions) Then I tried as root, same error. Suggestions appreciated!
[22:36] <Chief_G> what is the offtopic channel?
[22:36] <Chief_G> thx
[22:36] <murfie> the other channel
[22:36] <auronandace> !ot | Chief_G
[22:37] <monostone> *via cgi I mean via cli, php-cli launched with crontab
[22:42] <abu-bakr> overclucker: thanks.. so I will be ok copying the old partition over on to the new array once its created?
[22:42] <abu-bakr> (when that does eventally happen as its failing to create at the moment ...)
[22:42] <overclucker> abu-bakr: that should work. i just had to check on how raid safe gparted was.
[22:43] <xkinder> clear
[22:44] <abu-bakr> overclucker: brilliant thanks for your help! I will give it a try and ..(probably be back asking why the raid is failing to create :P )
[22:46] <abu-bakr> overclucker: this is the message i'm getting: Error starting job: Failed to execute child process "mdadm" (No such file or directory)
[22:47] <murfie> sudo install apt-get install mdadm
[22:47] <lolol^> Hello
[22:47] <abu-bakr> murfie: thanks i've started install via software center :P
[22:47] <lolol^> I have a USB IR Reciever
[22:47] <abu-bakr> will see how that goes
[22:48] <murfie> oh ok
[22:48] <murfie> just about the same result
[22:48] <lolol^> And want to use it... How can I get information about if it is supported
[22:48] <jost> I'm trying to execute "sudo cat /dev/random > /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p" to generate some white noise. It fails with "cat: write error: File descriptor in bad state". Why?
[22:49] <lolol^> I tried lsusb but my Infrared Adaptor doesn't show up
[22:49] <_calum> Hi, whenever I open firestarter, it says it failed to open the event log. No additional info is displayed
[22:50] <murfie> then don't open it
[22:50] <_calum> no, I mean the firewall runs fine but it says firewall logs wont be available
[22:50] <murfie> hmm
[22:51] <murfie> some permission problem?
[22:51] <_calum> maybe. I'll first try reinstalling
[22:52] <pathetictroll> .
[22:52] <pathetictroll> ni
[22:52] <pathetictroll> ce

[22:55] <imi> hi
[22:55] <imi> http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/847/kpernykpp.png/
[22:55] <imi> I have this envelope icon
[22:56] <_calum> uhh now its saying the device wlan0 is not ready?
[22:56] <imi> I have kmail and fetchmail procmail set up to deliver my mails into a maildir. can I somehow make this envelope icon to change color/flash/etc when I have unread emails in my local maildir?
[22:57] <abu-bakr> ok folks mdadm has partially installed i think
[22:57] <murfie> partially?
[22:57] <abu-bakr> but has stumbled over this bit...
[22:57] <abu-bakr> Errors were encountered while processing:
[22:57] <abu-bakr>  initramfs-tools
[22:57] <murfie> only the md, or only the adm?
[22:57] <abu-bakr> tried doing it again but it gets 'deferred' ?
[22:57] <_calum> will try to restart the machine to solve fw issue
[22:57] <sveinse> I installed a fresh oneiric server. I installed xfce on it, but the server itself shall not have graphical login. However, when I installed xfce, I got this graphical Debian(!) grub menu. How can I remove it?
[22:57] <murfie> you don't need it
[22:57] <abu-bakr> tried via command line too
[22:57] <abu-bakr> mufie: oh kool
[22:58] <abu-bakr> murfie: K :)
[22:59] <anon_ymous> Hi all
[22:59] <puff> Okay, it looks like I hosed something, earlier today, when I installed python-wxgtk2.8.  It juggled some packages around, and now it looks like some stuff is broken and insists on staying broken, even after I removed python-wxgtk2.8.  Any idea what to do next?
[22:59] <anon_ymous> quick question regarding mapping via fstab and cifs
[23:00] <abu-bakr> hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....
[23:00] <abu-bakr> now it says: Errors were encountered while processing:
[23:00] <abu-bakr>  initramfs-tools
[23:01] <abu-bakr> although there is a raid5 array showing in the disk utility thingmajig
[23:01] <abu-bakr> sorry wrong message
[23:01] <abu-bakr> Error assembling array: mdadm exited with exit code 1: mdadm: ADD_NEW_DISK for /dev/sdc1 failed: Device or resource busy
[23:02] <murfie> what does cat /proc/mdstat say anyway
[23:03] <Zta> Back in them olden days it was pretty easy to migrate all your personal configuration from one computer to another e.g. when you get a new one like I just did.  It was just a matter of copying a few ~/.*rc files and you were good.
[23:03] <anon_ymous> The current line I have in the fstab for this is: //stora/FamilyLibrary/My\040Book\0402TB/      /mnt/stora       cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777  0 0
[23:03] <Zta> But now it's difficult because everything is stored across ~/.*rc, ~/config/, ~/.gconf* and what not.
[23:04] <munchor_> Any idea when Geany 0.21 will be updated for 0.20 in the Ubuntu repos?
[23:04] <messerting> Hi, I just installed ubuntu 11.10 on an asus eee 1512B, radeon 6320 graphics. To get eye candy, I installed fglrx drivers, and it works, but I get this ATI/AMD watermark saying "Unsupported hardware"
[23:04] <pythonirc1012> I've a machine (ubuntu LTS) that is working in a cloud. It has 10GB hard drive space. Is there a way I can clone it on the network, and convert it to a vdi file (vbox)? -- I'd like to have this to and fro , so that i can back it up, and make changes remotely, then deploy.
[23:04] <messerting> How can I get rid of it?

[23:39] <MonkeyDust> about this*
[23:40] <puff> MonkeyDust: It seems oddly difficult to find info bout that by googling.
[23:40] <puff> MonkeyDust: And I've noticed this in the past, stuff changes or is removed, there's no real way to figure out what happened.
[23:40] <MonkeyDust> puff  http://news.softpedia.com/news/Canonical-Will-Remove-Java-From-Ubuntu-241147.shtml
[23:40] <puff> MonkeyDust: Yeah, I know about it, I've just tried to track down a page to show somebody about it and it's hard to find somethning.
[23:41] <MonkeyDust> well, if i'm worrying for nothing, the better then
