[00:00] <graphixprob> ActionParsnip, I couldn't find it initially.  Is it nvidia-96?
[00:00] <escott> roasted, can't get the camera to work under windows, ouch... is there any system it does work on?
[00:00] <Jordan_U> escott: roasted: NDISWrapper is for network cards only. (Network Driver Interface Specification)
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> !info nvidia-96
[00:00] <silverarrow> how to go about fixing black screen in media player, only sound
[00:00] <escott> Jordan_U, someone supposedly got something working with this camera
[00:01] <Jordan_U> escott: With NDISWrapper? Link?
[00:01] <silverarrow> anyone familiar with vlc?
[00:01] <graphixprob> ActionParsnip, sounds right, but when I try to install it, it wants to remove xorg and several other seemingly x-essential packages.
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> silverarrow: change the output method in the player
[00:01] <Jordan_U> !anyone | silverarrow
[00:01] <escott> Jordan_U, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1610163
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> graphixprob: yeah it's a known bug
[00:01] <pcpower> silverarrow: yes
[00:01] <graphixprob> ActionParsnip, is there a workaround?
[00:02] <silverarrow> hmm, how to change output method i vlc
[00:02] <escott> Jordan_U, it may be bs, but short of reverse engineering the wire protocol...
[00:02] <Josiah> Someone help? My laptop keeps dosconnecting from my WPA wireless.

[00:03] <silverarrow> pcpower, where are the settings for output method?
[00:03] <Jordan_U> roasted: In case you missed it the first time: Is there any output from "lsmod | grep uvcvideo"?
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> Josiah: can you give the output of:  sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a     use a pastebin, thanks
[00:04] <Jordan_U> escott: That's a link to someone else suggesting NDISWrapper. I see no indication of success.
[00:04] <graphixprob> ActionParsnip, thank you very much.  I'll give it a read.
[00:04] <Josiah> Actually, i'm having to resort to the Sugar desktop enviroment.
[00:05] <wonginator1221> randomuser: Thanks for the tip about thunar.  It seems to be lightweight yet retain the functionality I need.  I'll try it out for a week or so.
[00:05] <kinesis> hey I get an error installing ubuntu via main.iso: May 22 23:00:33 main-menu[330]: (process:17584) unknown udeb natty-support   .. then Installation dies at 1%. what am  doing wrong?
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> wonginator1221: thunar rocks :)
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> kinesis: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[00:06] <Lordy> Hello boys
[00:06] <szal> kinesis: did you run media check before installing?
[00:06] <Lordy> i can't download the sdk package for java from google developers
[00:06] <kinesis> i got it from ubuntu.com, it has ben made into a usb key. what does that matter? i put the .inf files for ndiswrapper
[00:06] <kinesis> media check?
[00:06] <Lordy> it send me to an error page
[00:06] <kinesis> how do i do that
[00:07] <kinesis> i see the folowing:
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> kinesis: no it doesn't matter where its from in any way
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | kinesis
[00:07] <szal> kinesis: it's one of the boot options
[00:07] <kinesis> choose language, cnfigure the keyboard
[00:07] <kinesis> detect network hardware
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> kinesis: as long as the iso passes check then it is a correct ISO,
[00:07] <kinesis> chose a mirror of the ubuntu archive
[00:07] <kinesis> download installer components
[00:07] <kinesis> configure the clock
[00:07] <szal> !paste | kinesis
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> kinesis: please use ONE line
[00:07] <Josiah> Now i'm having truble starting FireFox so I can't use the links. >.<
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> kinesis: you are scrolling the channel
[00:08] <kinesis> Step: Install he Sytem  fails
[00:08] <kinesis> what servr do i use for ft mirror
[00:08] <kinesis> ftp
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> kinesis: you can write very very long lines like the one I am typing to you just now to highlight the fact, it not only conves the same data but doesn't irritate everbody else by moving all the text up the channel
[00:09] <kinesis> im on a crappy epic 4g ssh
[00:09] <kinesis> thats why
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> kinesis: all that is fine, but did you mD5 test the ISO?
[00:09] <escott> Jordan_U, like i said it may be complete bs but for that USB id there are only two google results, roasted may just be SOL
[00:09] <kinesis> trying to get this jbuntu installed
[00:09] <kinesis> WHY DOES THAT MATTR? itsan isue with the mirror
[00:10] <kinesis> i put ndiswrapper and in files on the flashdrive
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> kinesis: if the ISO you downloaded is BAD it WILL MAKE THE INSTALLER BAD. See I can type in caps too
[00:10] <graphixprob> ActionParsnip, It says a fix has been released for the 96 bug as of 02/04, but users still report problems as of 05/01 in 11.04.
[00:10] <kinesis> so by putting .inf files on my flash drive i broke the integrity of the setup
[00:10] <kinesis> ?
[00:10] <kinesis> thats all i did
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> kinesis: yes, you can't just copy the files like that
[00:10] <kinesis> can i rremove?
[00:10] <infinitux> i'm removing 11.04
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> kinesis: you need to use remastersys to put the files into the ISO properly
[00:11] <infinitux> something tells me if I don't it will destroy my brand new system.
[00:11] <kinesis> ok il reformt the drive and copy the inf fils somewhere else
[00:11] <infinitux> something seriously wrong with my xorg refresh
[00:11] <Josiah> Fiefox is freezing now, and this screen is getting pixelated!!
[00:11] <kinesis> ok
[00:11] <infinitux> not happy about it.
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> kinesis: you'll need to retransfer the ISO onto the device
[00:12] <go8765432> can anybody help me to change empathy fonts please ?
[00:13] <Skei> Morning, all. Are there any ways to backup the system configuration, something like a Windows Restore Point ? I've had a few fragile updates and would rather not break everything again.
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> !backup
[00:14] <Skei> ActionParsnip, I've looked into BackupYourSystem and was under the impression it only backed up your files, not the configurations and driver settings.
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> Skei: then boot to live CD and you can use partimage
[00:16] <Skei> That looks more relevant, thanks.
[00:17] <Skei> Yep, that'll do. Thank you.
[00:17] <Skei> And now, to bed.

[00:19] <DinVitamin> I installed Ubuntu Server, which has no sound or video drivers. I installed the video drivers and x-server, etc. so that I could see everything, but how do I install the sound drivers?
[00:19] <m1k3c> is there a keyboard shortcut for switching workspaces in 11.04?
[00:19] <mrcogeo> Why does Terminal who -at command show two of my "selves" logged in?, identically... pts/0 pts/1 AND is there a "security" risk? Thanks. http://paste.ubuntu.com/611609/
[00:21] <agrundner> m1k3c: you mean like CTRL+ALT+LEFT/RIGHT ARROW
[00:22] <m1k3c> ahhh yes, thank you. i just found http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/2289.html
[00:22] <m1k3c> lol
[00:22] <m1k3c> that was exactly what i was looking for. TY
[00:22] <escott> mrcogeo, pts are virtual tty's from X session
[00:23] <mrcogeo> Makes sense, "spawned" at login... Thanks.

[00:24] <ActionParsnip> DinVitamin: if you wanted a desktop OS, why not install one. The WHOLE idea of the server is to be without a desktop....
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> DinVitamin: thats why there are 2 different installers.
[00:25] <DinVitamin> ActionParsnip: Well, I don't want to reinstall now.. surely there is just a package I need
[00:25] <DinVitamin> ActionParsnip: Besides I need the server aspect for other reasons
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> DinVitamin: as soon as you throw the desktop on it, you have exactly the same as the desktop OS
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> DinVitamin: you haven't gained anything at all
[00:26] <DinVitamin> ActionParsnip: When I click on "Sound" it has a dialog stating it can't see sound hardware, indicative of no drivers

[00:29] <chrislu5tic> hi there.. when trying to install a pc program with wine i get this.. The file '/tmp/wlsetup-web.exe' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.  For more details, read about the executable bit.
[00:29] <chrislu5tic> i am unsure of how to mark it as an executable
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic: chmod +x /tmp/wlsetup-web.exe
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic: it won't work though: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=127
[00:30] <Name141> is Ubuntu going to keep "Ubuntu  Classic" on the next releases ? Or are we going to be forced to use a junky desktop later on ?
[00:30] <Name141> (Or install our own)
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic: why not use amsn
[00:31] <JakeO> Hey everybody, could anyone help me install Dreamweaver on 10.04?
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> Name141: I imagine classic will always be an option
[00:31] <Name141> ActionParsnip: I sure hope so.
[00:31] <chrislu5tic> i have my reasons.. i am on amsn as of current. i need to run another program with legit msn thats why
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> !appdb | JakeO
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> Name141: there are other DEs you know.....
[00:31] <IdleOne> ActionParsnip: Name141 as I understand it Classic will be dropped in the next release
[00:31] <edbian> Name141, they'll have to come up with something when the options are KDE 4, Gnome 3, xfce 5, etc etc
[00:31] <chrislu5tic>  chmod +x /tmp/wlsetup-web.exe  doesnt seem to do much for me
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> Name141: you can ask about 11.10 in #ubuntu+1
[00:32] <chrislu5tic> cannot access `/tmp/wlsetup-web.exe': No such file or directory
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic: it won't output anything if it suceeds
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic: then the filename is incorrect (linux is case sensitive)
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic: you are wasting your time too, windows live messenger doesn't work in wine
[00:33] <a1234567890> happy graduation
[00:34] <rww> a1234567890: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support, not nonsense. Please adjust your output accordingly.
[00:34] <chrislu5tic> problem is
[00:34] <szal> lol, nice wording ^^
[00:34] <chrislu5tic> i cant install anything..
[00:35] <chrislu5tic> i need to mark them as executable.
[00:35] <szal> chrislu5tic: define "anything"
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic: yes, but if you give chmod the wrong file to make executable, it won't work
[00:35] <Marktech> hi
[00:36] <chrislu5tic> any windows program that I try install, it suggests to open it with wine, and then proceeds to tell me that programs outside the synaptic blah blah need to be marked as an executable and to go change it's permissions
[00:36] <Name141> ActionParsnip: I suppose we can always install gnome/xfce ourself
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic: the 'No such file or directory' is a massive clue
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> Name141: sure, or any of the MANY available desktops available, gnome is not the only choice
[00:37] <chrislu5tic> yes yes.. i understand.. i will try ..
[00:37] <Name141> ActionParsnip: Ok.
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> Name141: you can use LXDE then run nautilus and all your other gnome apps there with no issue
[00:37] <vng> @search bethenny frankel
[00:38] <Name141> ActionParsnip: OK

[00:51] <TecnicoDPC> I am looking for ubuntu users from the island of Puerto Rico . . . . any one here ??
[00:51] <drAg> Hello
[00:53] <drAg> Is there anyone here who is a ubuntu user from England?
[00:53] <xangua> !ot
[00:54] <drAg> Ok
[00:54] <L551> So how do I remove all the other linux kernels from the GRUB menu? They're just cluttering it up. 10.10.
[00:55] <szal> L551: define "all the other linux kernels"
[00:55] <L551> Well there's just a lot of old kernels that I guess I could boot with in the grub menu, which I don't know if I need them or not
[00:55] <gizmo_> L551: delete the other kernels from /boot then run update-grub
[00:55] <xangua> !info startupmanager | L551
[00:56] <szal> uninstalling those kernels should do
[00:56] <Scunizi> How do you add a tag to a photo in Shotwell?  I've already added tags separately but just don't know how to apply a tag to a photo
[00:56] <xangua> not good idea to delete them, you can just hide them
[00:56] <szal> xangua: why not?  having one old kernel is normally enough
[00:57] <Scunizi> The old old ones simply takes up space in /
[00:57] <drAg> No
[00:57] <drAg> The new linux kernel took away 3 GB
[00:57] <yigal> I'm trying to find an equivalent command for hal-find-by-property --key input.x11_driver --string evtouch, does anyone have any idea.  I know hal has been removed but is there similar functionality elsewhere?
[00:57] <adadsadadad> lodger
[00:57] <drAg> Who is using a terminal here to chat in this channel?
[00:57] <szal> drAg: pretty much unlikely; kernels aren't 3 GB in size
[00:57] <rww> drAg: hi
[00:57] <yigal> drAg: I am
[00:58] <retf> L551: you could try editing grub.conf
[00:58] <yigal> drAg: irssi, oh yes with gnu screen
[00:58] <retf> there might be an easier way though
[00:58] <drAg> :/
[00:58] <szal> drAg: no private messaging without invitation or permission
[00:58] <retf> and just comment out the lines for the entries you don't want
[00:58] <yigal> drAg: ya 3GB that's huge!
[00:59] <retf> or even remove them and delete the old kernels you don't need
[00:59] <Cuchulainn> hopefully an easy question...how/can i set application launcher to autocomplete when i type application/
[00:59] <rww> just remove the old kernels' packages...
[00:59] <rww> deals with GRUB and the kernel files themselves.
[00:59] <drAg> How do you delete other kernels? The other ones are taking up the GRUB Boot Loader's space
[00:59] <szal> drAg: uninstall
[01:00] <Cuchulainn> like the run application window did in maverick?
[01:00] <drAg> The kernel package
[01:00] <drAg> as in vmlinuz.old
[01:00] <szal> drAg: what's so hard to get about "uninstall"?
[01:01] <yigal> drAg: yes, use Synaptic package manager or apt-get or dpkg
[01:01] <szal> yigal: imho, dpkg should only be used directly if all else fails
[01:01] <retf> ls /boot
[01:02] <drAg> no
[01:02] <szal> no what?
[01:02] <yigal> szal: up to you for kernel removal I actually think it's a fine choice
[01:02] <drAg> I dont trust terminal codes from unknown people
[01:02] <drAg> I dont trust terminal codes from unknown people
[01:02] <yigal> drAg: dude, you don't need to use shell code
[01:02] <drAg> I dont trust terminal codes from unknown people
[01:02] <yigal> drAg: are you a troll?
[01:03] <szal> yigal: since when do trolls admit that they are that? ;)
[01:03] <m1k3c> my guess = yes.
[01:03] <drAg> The ones I do trust are ls -l, man -k, sudo, su, cp, and dpkg
[01:03] <yigal> lol
[01:03] <tensorpudding> drAg: do you know what ls does?
[01:03] <drAg> yes
[01:03] <szal> drAg: then go read retf's cmd again..
[01:03] <tensorpudding> drAg: so then you know that command that was given ought be safe?
[01:03] <drAg> it lists all directories and files permissions, owners, group, and etc
[01:04] <tensorpudding> drAg: that's only with the -l option
[01:04] <drAg> ls is almost like dir, but ls -l is way different
[01:04] <yigal> drAg: that's as tensorpudding the -l = long version
[01:04] <drAg> try sudo rm -rf /
[01:04] <yigal> drAg: ls just contains the files present with no other information
[01:04] <tensorpudding> drAg: ls is very much like dir
[01:04] <yigal> drAg: dude
[01:05] <drAg> NERVER MIND
[01:05] <retf> he's right though, it is a bad idea to just blindly follow the commands people post here
[01:05] <drAg> DO NOT DO SUDO RM -RF /
[01:05] <retf> especially when they are sudoing things
[01:05] <drAg> IT DELETES ALL THE FILES IN THE HDD
[01:05] <szal> !caps
[01:05] <yigal> retf: absolutely but his examples are hilarious, ls -l, but not ls
[01:05] <gizmo_> drAg: youre code just prompts me for confirmation... (I added -i as a directory in root)
[01:06] <tensorpudding> drAg: the default behavior now is to preserve root anyway
[01:06] <drAg> Please dont try this as root: cp /dev/null /dev/zero
[01:06] <Aginor> drAg, please do not post malicious commands in here.

[01:10] <brophat> I needed to add some nameservers, I add them to resolve.conf, but when i reboot the nameservers are gone from resolve.conf
[01:10] <carnage1> are there super fast external isdn modems and external floppie drives?
[01:10] <rww> drAg: What do you mean by "notifications"?
[01:10] <drAg> The IRC Client is BitchX
[01:11] <szal> drAg: urgh..  that beast is unmaintained
[01:11] <drAg> The notifications that say when someone joins or leaves
[01:11] <rww> drAg: BitchX is unmaintained and not supported by this channel.
[01:11] <szal> and has been for quite a while
[01:11] <drAg> Ok
[01:11] <drAg> Then how about ircii
[01:11] <NoqturnalX> Paddy_NI: Thanks for the info, I'm gonna go check this out n play with it a bit :)
[01:12] <qin> drAg: /help ignore
[01:12] <rww> drAg: Saner choices would be irssi or weechat, imho.

[01:15] <qin> brophat: You network manager overwrites file (me think)
[01:15] <qin> Your*
[01:16] <brophat> qin so then how do I make the added nameservers more permanent?
[01:16] <qin> Well, it was good to spell it out, despite obvious

[01:21] <brophat> qin ok ic, so then this is a bug
[01:21] <qin> brophat: I guess, you could set it in Network manager to make it permanent too.
[01:22] <brophat> qin you see i have no problem getting onto internet, i just want to add a couple of other nameservers to add to my current one
[01:22] <ouyes> when I was trying to compile a application, I get an error, it said ERROR: X windows gui was selected, but X windows libraries were not found. what do I need to install?
[01:22] <brophat> qin is network manager same as network tools?
[01:23] <teluge> I'm finding that under 10.04 64 bit my rtl8187b isnt recieving signals as strong frequent or from nearly as far away as it did when it was windows 7 64 bit...whats upwith this is there a solution?
[01:23] <qin> brophat: Look at the file /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[01:24] <qin> brophat: I think Network Tools is frontier for nmap (not sure)
[01:24] <brophat> qin from the forum it seems i need to set in network manager, where is network manager

[01:45] <kjxl9> i took my laptop to my grandmas house after upgrading to 11.04, it worked while i was there, but when i got home it wouldn't boot properly, i burned a 10.10 disk, and put it in after starting my laptop, but it didn't try to reinstall, instead it boot properly but with all of 11.04 things on it.
[01:45] <kinesis> wtf, my desktop wasnt even installed?
[01:46] <L0C41H05T> for some reason hostapd is saying "deauthenticated due to local deauth request" and it disconnects my wireless clients
[01:46] <kinesis> why would ubuntu install without a desktop
[01:46] <kinesis> thats the core reason i downloaded uand spend all this time installing ubuntu, was for the desktop
[01:46] <julian_c> kinesis: Did you install from a regular CD, or an alternate CD?
[01:47] <kinesis> i used mini.iso
[01:47] <kinesis> USB key installer, net
[01:47] <kinesis> its a netbook, no cdrom drive
[01:47] <julian_c> So you used the text-based installer. One of the screens later in the install process asks you to select tasks to install.
[01:48] <julian_c> One of those tasks is "Ubuntu desktop."
[01:48] <julian_c> It's still possible to install that task at this point without re-doing the entire install.
[01:49] <julian_c> "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[01:50] <kinesis> ok
[01:50] <julian_c> Though, if you're using a laptop that old, Unity might not work.
[01:51] <julian_c> If you don't mind Xfce, then "xubuntu-desktop" might be less resource-intensive.

[02:18] <silverarrow> has anyone used a network password sniffer?
[02:18] <rww> Hi. I'm installing Ubuntu 11.04 as a guest inside VirtualBox OSE 3.2.10. Are there guest additions packages in the Ubuntu repositories I should install in the guest, or should I use the option in the Devices menu of VirtualBox?
[02:19] <nit-wit> rww, Devices menu of VirtualBox
[02:19] <silverarrow> networks stumbler, how does it work?
[02:20] <izinucs> rww: devices menu but be aware that sometimes you have to go to cli to do it after the virtual cdrom mounts.. occationally you have to open it with nautilus then go to cli to see it..
[02:20] <alex_46> Hola
[02:20] <rww> nit-wit, izinucs: Thanks
[02:20] <izinucs> rww: np.. you've helped me out enough in the past.. 'bout time I was able to help you :)
[02:21] <fisix> hey how would i go about installing windows besides my ubuntu partition?
[02:21] <izinucs> fisix: you mean as a dual boot machine or in a virtual machine so you can run windows inside ubuntu
[02:22] <silverarrow> fisix, grub2 will find it, or use grub for Dos, just make the partition, format and install
[02:23] <silverarrow> but that would be like a seperate partition on the harddrive
[02:23] <izinucs> fisix: silverarrow that scenerio is a dual boot and you'll need a live cd to fix grub after that since windows will overwrite it
[02:23] <silverarrow> true

[02:25] <pmp6nl> Hello, does anyone know how to edit the creation date listed for pdf files?
[02:26] <silverarrow> how to hack your  own network passwork
[02:26] <silverarrow> ?
[02:26] <izinucs> pmp6nl: do you want to change it to todays date or some other?
[02:26] <silverarrow> I have it stored in xp, but damn hard to find it
[02:26] <rww> silverarrow: elaborate on what you mean by "network password"?
[02:26] <silverarrow> the password I once filled in to my computer
[02:27] <silverarrow> password manager, in xp*
[02:27] <pmp6nl> izinucs some other date
[02:27] <nit-wit> silverarrow, are you locked out of your xp?
[02:28] <silverarrow> no, just the world wide web
[02:28] <edbian> what?
[02:28] <silverarrow> I am on an open network now,
[02:28] <izinucs> pmp6nl: it's kind of a hack .. but.. change the computer date to the one you want then open the pdf and re-print it to pdf using cups-pdf.. you'll have a new file with the date you want
[02:28] <edbian> Oh, he means an insecure wifi network
[02:29] <rww> silverarrow: if you mean your wifi password, reset your router and call your router's manufacturer if you don't know how. If you mean your ISP network password, contact your ISP.
[02:29] <silverarrow> yes, sorry
[02:29] <silverarrow> rww, yes but it will cost, and cumbersome
[02:29] <silverarrow> but you might be right, the best way to do it
[02:30] <rww> silverarrow: Nevertheless, #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support, so it's out of scope for us :\
[02:30] <silverarrow> if I just stored it in Ubuntu, I could retrieve it
[02:31] <fisix> izinucs, ugh i'll have to fix grub after?
[02:31] <izinucs> fisix: yep.. windows likes to be first
[02:32] <fisix> izinucs, wow are there other solutions if i just wanna be able to game with windows?
[02:32] <silverarrow> fisix, yes, very likely, but it pretty easy to install grub from live CD, at least grub for DOS, I'm not shore with grub2
[02:34] <pmp6nl> izinucs ok, thanks

[02:36] <EagleScreen> I did an Ubuntu installation and I had the /home encrypted
[02:37] <EagleScreen> now from another Linux installation, I need to acess to my data in that folder
[02:37] <DinVitamin> I recently installed Ubuntu and the password I set as the root password is not being accepted as the root password
[02:38] <edbian> EagleScreen, Well that's pretty much impossible.  That's the entire point of encryption
[02:38] <edbian> !root
[02:38] <rww> EagleScreen: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/03/mounting-your-encrypted-home-from.html may be useful
[02:38] <nit-wit> DinVitamin, any special circumstances, van you log in and can you run a update/upgrade
[02:38] <edbian> DinVitamin, Did you set up a root account?
[02:38] <nit-wit> *can
[02:38] <Rigorm0rtis> Dealing with some ext4 filesystem corruption here. Why does fsck keep telling me the filesystem is still dirty when it's done? The filesystem is not mounted.
[02:38] <DinVitamin> edbian: Nope
[02:39] <knightwolf_> I have a question about the gnome panels...  When I open a program, the icon loads to the right of the power button in the top-right of corner... My question is how do I get the icon to load to the left of that power dropdown list?
[02:39] <edbian> DinVitamin, Then there is not a root account or password
[02:39] <DinVitamin> edbian: How do I set one up?
[02:39] <rww> DinVitamin: You don't. See what ubottu said.
[02:39] <rww> #ubuntu does not support setting a root password, as it is not a good idea.
[02:39] <DinVitamin> rww: I have a script where I *need* to enter the root password into su
[02:40] <goldenwest> lol
[02:40] <edbian> DinVitamin, This explains the whole root account / sudo thing    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

[02:47] <kinesis> hey so , once i 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' do i just reboot the machine and the desktop automagically appears as it should?
[02:48] <jtreminio> What's standard location to install my programs to?
[02:48] <edbian> kinections, yes
[02:50] <aeon-ltd> jtreminio: apt will handle that, they're (the executables) installed in /usr/bin
[02:50] <mistergibson> Is there a networking focused irc channel for ubuntu?
[02:50] <aeon-ltd> */usr/bin/
[02:50] <aeon-ltd> mistergibson: #networking
[02:50] <jtreminio> aeon-ltd, I meant for programs that don't come with apt, like my IDE phpstorm ... but I'll stick it in there I guess!
[02:50] <nzk> I'm trying to find a file on my system. It should be there, but I can't find it with whereis. Anything else I can do?
[02:51] <aeon-ltd> jtreminio: it doesn't matter where that is as long as it's executable by the users you use it with, i'd create a shortcut for a launcher anyway
[02:51] <Rigorm0rtis> Getting further on my file system corruption issue here. fsck is no longer saying the filesystem is still corrupted when it is done, but if I run another fsck it still shows errors. What's going on here?
[02:52] <teluge> k guys i jus jumped through alot of hoops installed the windows driver for my wifi card with ndiswrap installed the default nvidia driver from the nvidia website had to do a nomodeset on the boot string to finish that one.... now im havn a problem though ive cranked my speakers full blast and sound setting on the comp full blast and i can still get sound but its like someones talking right next to me where as at the setting my stereo speakers
[02:52] <teluge>  are at you should be able to hear it half a block away
[02:53] <edbian> teluge, look at the volume settings in alsa-mixer   in particular pcm
[02:53] <teluge> also my sound sounds like its coming from a tin can
[02:54] <FroyoShark> teluge: are you scotty in linuxmint-help?
[02:54] <edbian> oooohhh busted
[02:54] <teluge> um no
[02:55] <teluge> im teluge there
[02:55] <FroyoShark> oh cause he said his sound sounds like its coming from a tin can as well
[02:55] <eb3ha4el> is Xorg X window system?
[02:55] <FroyoShark> eb3ha4el: yes
[02:55] <teluge> ah well it all jjus happened after i got done installin the wifi
[02:55] <eb3ha4el> right thanks
[02:55] <teluge> and alsa is set to max
[02:56] <jtreminio> There's a GUI-based Kill program. Anyone know what it is?
[02:56] <FroyoShark> teluge has linux mint?
[02:56] <jtreminio> It turns the mouse cursor into a skull and bones and kills the program I click on
[02:56] <teluge> yes i have julia which is based off of ubuntu 10.04
[02:57] <FroyoShark> oh. you should try katya
[02:57] <rww> teluge: Mint isn't supported in this channel.
[02:57] <jtreminio> xkill!
[02:57] <FroyoShark> rww: mint is lightly modified ubuntu
[02:57] <eb3ha4el> does most wm or DE based on Xorg then?
[02:57] <rww> FroyoShark: I'm aware. It's not supported in this channel.
[02:57] <rww> !mintsupport
[02:57] <teluge> mint isnt really a real distro its ubuntu prettyfied
[02:58] <FroyoShark> why does this channel have 3 floodbots?
[02:58] <rww> FroyoShark: to offset server lag
[02:58] <spacemagic> so... grub wasn't set up on my computer that I just tried to install windows alongside my Ubuntu...
[02:59] <FroyoShark> spacemagic: you have to install ubuntu after windows
[02:59] <edbian> jtreminio, Add that applet to your panel.  It's a gnome panel applet
[02:59] <spacemagic> i know that way works, but lots of tutorials online said you could do it either way
[02:59] <edbian> eb3ha4el, All of them.   The only alternative is wayland which is not yet usable
[02:59] <FroyoShark> rww: is pinguy os or zorin supported then?
[03:00] <rww> FroyoShark: no
[03:00] <edbian> spacebug-, what is your question?  You'll need some bootloader
[03:00] <edbian> FroyoShark, Only ubuntu
[03:00] <spacemagic> maybe if I just install a different distro of linux that uses grub as well as windows?
[03:00] <FroyoShark> rww: just ubuntu? what about kubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu, edubuntu, or ubuntu studio?
[03:00] <rww> FroyoShark: the list under "Recognized Derivatives" on http://www.ubuntu.com/project/derivatives , plus Lubuntu (it just got made official, page hasn't been updated)
[03:00] <FroyoShark> rww: thanks
[03:00] <Semitones> rww, when was this? :D
[03:00] <rww> Semitones: UDS-O
[03:01] <rww> Technically only Lubuntu 11.10 and higher are supported in here, but it's been a gray area for a while so whatever.
[03:01] <Semitones> does -0 signify the day?
[03:01] <rww> Semitones: no, it means the UDS for Oneiric
[03:01] <Semitones> ok
[03:01] <FroyoShark> rww: do you work for ubuntu or are you just really helpful?
[03:02] <syrinx_>  neither o.O
[03:02] <rww> FroyoShark: Ubuntu isn't a company. I'm a member of Ubuntu the project and a channel operator here.
[03:02] <B3rz3rk3r> when trying to play media over my local network in VLC it downloads the entire copy to a tmp folder before playing, is there a way to get it to stream directly?
[03:02] <FroyoShark> rww: canonical is the company?
[03:03] <spacemagic> anyone know how to rebuild grub over windows MBR?
[03:03] <lykj> how are you
[03:03] <rww> FroyoShark: Canonical is a company that, amongst other things, sponsors Ubuntu and develops part of it, yes.
[03:03] <FroyoShark> spacemagic: i've done it before, don't remember how
[03:03] <FroyoShark> spacemagic: try looking it up on google
[03:03] <halon314> B3rz3rk3r: I WISH !!
[03:03] <syrinx_> spacemagic: grub or grub2?
[03:03] <spacemagic> ok, that's nice to know it is possible :D
[03:04] <edbian> spacemagic, It's possible and not very hard
[03:04] <halon314> B3rz3rk3r - if you figure it out, let me know!  =)
[03:04] <B3rz3rk3r> halon314 this never happened before until i install 11.04, what changed?
[03:04] <teluge> use a live cd and reinstall grub? lol
[03:04] <FroyoShark> rww: what's the company that owns ubuntu?
[03:04] <halon314> B3rz3rk3r - dunno' I've always had that problem
[03:04] <spacemagic> i tried to do that but it errors out on setup(hd0)
[03:04] <halon314> Froyo: Canonical
[03:04] <edbian> FroyoShark, Canonical
[03:05] <FroyoShark> rww says canonical just sponsors it
[03:05] <B3rz3rk3r> halon314 im going to see if all of the players do that now, never used to get that happening. If it persists i will post on ubuntuforums, cos its freakin annoying!
[03:05] <rww> FroyoShark: Canonical owns the trademark "Ubuntu", and the founder of Canonical is the benevolent dictator of Ubuntu.
[03:05] <edbian> FroyoShark, well it's GPL'd so no company owns it
[03:06] <rww> edbian: Ubuntu is a collection of software under various licenses. It's not all GPL ;)
[03:06] <retf> spacemagic: maybe try setup(sd0)?
[03:06] <FroyoShark> rww: true
[03:06] <NickP_> hi everyone, which file calls the services in /etc/init.d ?
[03:06] <edbian> Nicke__, init
[03:07] <FroyoShark> when will they make a decent GPL driver for nvidia or broadcom?
[03:07] <NickP_> edbian: isn't that a directory?
[03:07] <spacemagic> start with root (hd0) then setup(sd0)
[03:08] <FroyoShark> so do you guys prefer unity, gnome 2, gnome 3, or kde?
[03:08] <edbian> Nicke__, well init.d is a directory.  But type sudo init in a term and you'll see that it's a program too
[03:08] <tsimpson> NickP_: init is also a program, the very first thing that runs. it's responsible for bringing the system up after the kernel is loaded
[03:09] <retf> spacemagic: i would try sd0 for both of them
[03:09] <NickP_> tsimpson: i would like to disable a few of the scripts in /etc/init.d. the only way i know how right now is chmod -x. that, however, leaves permission denied messages when i'm booting up.
[03:09] <retf> cause itt used to be that everyone's first drive was called /dev/hda but then they switched it to /dev/sda for some reason
[03:10] <FroyoShark> so i have ubuntu on my android phone, and firefox won't start. I'm trying to install chromium but apt-get install chromium-browser doesn't work
[03:10] <retf> so i think all the stuff showing hd0 is from back then
[03:10] <NickP_> so, i want to comment out those services. i just don't know where to look
[03:10] <Aginor> retf, they switched it with SATA, which works pretty much like scsi, so it uses the same naming convention as the scsi devices
[03:11] <bjurkowski> \
[03:11] <Aginor> retf, hd<n> devices are IDE devices
[03:11] <tsimpson> NickP_: use the update-rc.d command to disable/enable services, that will remove/add links in /etc/rc*.d/
[03:11] <spacemagic> good point
[03:11] <rww> retf: Most disk modules in the Linux kernel use SCSI emulation these days, hence the naming convention.
[03:11] <spacemagic> thanks retf
[03:11] <tsimpson> NickP_: there is also a GUI for it in the "bum" package
[03:11] <retf> that makes sense. thank you, Aginor
[03:11] <NickP_> tsimpson: nice. thanks :)
[03:11] <retf> and rww
[03:12] <retf> so /dev/hda is never used anymore?
[03:14] <rww> retf: probably if you plugged in a really old hard disk, but I've never seen any modern stuff use it
[03:14] <dkhe> if i got a .zip file in my email how do i get it in the terminal as a wget?
[03:14] <renosis> I have a question... when I am opening up files, say in any application, and I want to browse through folders, I have to highlight the folder and click 'ok'... where can change this so that I can just double click a folder to open it?
[03:14] <scott-ian> What do people think of Unity?  What about the Gnome 3 Shell?
[03:15] <rww> scott-ian: #ubuntu-offtopic for opinions. #ubuntu is for actual technical support ;)
[03:15] <retf> well its interesting to me because i have some PATA drives, and they show up as hda under old kernels and sda under new ones, making me forget what name is have to use for everything >_<
[03:15] <dkhe> if i got a .zip file in my email how do i get it in the terminal as a wget?
[03:15] <hammma> Hello, and good morning everybody
[03:16] <edbian> hammma, good evening
[03:16] <MrKeuner> hello, what file is used for running a service on startup?
[03:16] <NickP_> heh update-rc.d is nice :D
[03:16] <MrKeuner> /etc/init.d/myservice.sh ?
[03:16] <chrometiger> ok , i downloaded and installed 11.04 but when trying to boot into the system after grub everything hangs on blank screen.  sometimes busybox is displayed sometimes not,  whats going on, i see many ppl reporting this prob
[03:16] <edbian> MrKeuner, What are you asking?  init would run myservice.sh
[03:17] <dkhe> if i got a .zip file in my email how do i get it in the terminal and do a wget?
[03:17] <FroyoShark> MrKeuner: use startup applications in preferences
[03:17] <MrKeuner> edbian, if I place myservice.sh in /etc/init.d, will it be run at each boot?
[03:17] <syrinx_> MrKeuner: you'd probably have to add it to your inittab
[03:17] <MrKeuner> FroyoShark, I'd like the service run even if no one is logged in
[03:18] <MrKeuner> syrinx_, inittab? which file is that?
[03:18] <edbian> MrKeuner, No.  You need to use update-rc.d
[03:18] <dkhe> if i got a .zip file in my email how do i get it in the terminal and do a wget?
[03:19] <edbian> dkhe, good question!
[03:20] <dkhe> edbian: sarcasm?
[03:20] <edbian> dkhe, No.  It's just a hard question
[03:20] <syrinx_> MrKeuner: nvm, ubuntu doesn't seem to have one
[03:20] <dkhe> edbian: oh ok, ill make it easier.
[03:20] <MrKeuner> syrinx_, ok
[03:20] <edbian> dkhe, I think you have to use a mail program.  You could use a CLI one if that's the issue
[03:20] <renosis> Does anyone have a suggestion?
[03:20] <MrKeuner> edbian, thanks that worked
[03:20] <edbian> MrKeuner, No problem
[03:21] <dkhe> edbian: CLI?
[03:21] <silvering> hi guys, im using 9.04 and i accidently disabled the Tray area
[03:21] <silvering> how can i re-enable it?
[03:22] <edbian> dkhe, command line  (not graphical)
[03:22] <Rigorm0rtis> When using the badblocks utility, can I run it on the RAID device, or do I need to run it on each of the RAID components?
[03:22] <edbian> silvering, add 'notification area' to the panel
[03:22] <silvering> edbian thanks
[03:22] <jetole> Hey guys. I am using the classic desktop in ubuntu 11.04 / the one that looks like gnome 2 however I can no longer move windows on the task bar for example I just opened a new gnome-terminal window and I want to drag it to the far left of the task bar as if I had opened as the first item on the task and not the 5th but it doesn't seem to let me do this. Am I missing something or is this pretty much stuck like this in 11.04?
[03:22] <dkhe> edbian: i dont know what that is.
[03:22] <edbian> silvering, sure
[03:22] <edbian> !GUI | dkhe
[03:22] <nomulous> Hi all, what's the difference between /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.plist ?
[03:22] <hammma> I have 11.04 installed, my computer have an Intel  integrated graphics. For some reason windows frame disappear, and hence I won't be able minimize, maximize or even move the window (unless I press alt button of course), currently windows manager uses compize . the only to resolve this is to restart the windows manager, I have been facing this problem since the previous version of ubuntu
[03:22] <edbian> dkhe, The GUI is stuff you click on.  The terminal is CLI
[03:23] <edbian> dkhe, Why do you need to wget things from an email??
[03:23] <dkhe> edbian: thats the only way i know how to get files. I just wanted to get a .zip file from my email so i can extract it in terminal.
[03:23] <edbian> hammma, Do you have a terminal open?
[03:23] <jetole> dkhe: you want to use wget to download a file from email?
[03:23] <edbian> dkhe, How do you view your emails normally?
[03:24] <edbian> dkhe, wget is used to download things from the web, email is not web
[03:24] <hammma> edbian: okay, it's open
[03:24] <edbian> hammma, can you type in it?
[03:24] <hammma> ebian: of course
[03:24] <dkhe> edbian: i just open my email. So i downloaded the .zip file so how could i get it in terminal?
[03:24] <edbian> hammma, compiz --replace&
[03:24] <jetole> edbian: well email can be web i.e. gmail, yahoo, squirrel mail on your own server
[03:24] <nomulous> Anyone? /etc/apt/sources.list vs. /etc/apt/sources.plist?
[03:24] <edbian> dkhe, cd into the folder you downloaded it into
[03:25] <FroyoShark> dkhe: or you could right click in the folder and open a terminal there
[03:25] <dkhe> edbian: yea but i need to get it in to a shell.
[03:25] <retf> night everyone
[03:25] <edbian> jetole, but in application level, email and web are two different things
[03:25] <jetole> Anyways, does anyone know if there is any way to reposition a window in the task bar on 11.04 with classic desktop
[03:25] <edbian> dkhe, Read up on how to use the terminal and the answer will be very clear
[03:25] <edbian> !terminal | dkhe
[03:25] <chrometiger> ok , i downloaded and installed 11.04 but when trying to boot into the system after grub everything hangs on blank screen.  sometimes busybox is displayed sometimes not,  whats going on, i see many ppl reporting this prob
[03:25] <jetole> edbian: I know. I run many of both servers but I also run squirrel mail and I could use wget with that if I wanted to. I just don't know why anyone would want to
[03:25] <izinucs> dkhe: you don't "get it into a shell".. it's already accessable there.. just open a terminal and cd to the download directory
[03:25] <user__> anyone know how to use wmii? I just installed it but completely stuck.. it seems wmii manual online doesn't work with mine strangely enough
[03:26] <edbian> jetole, I suppose you could!  Good point
[03:26] <dkhe> izinucs: but its a passworded shell
[03:26] <renosis> I am running the latest release 11.04... with the unity desktop manager... when I am within a program and I want to open a file, while browsing for the file, I have to highlight folders and then click 'ok' to get them to open. Is there any way I can set it up so that I can just double click the folders to open them?
[03:26] <izinucs> dkhe: what does that mean?.. a root shell?
[03:26] <jetole> dkhe: by the way, if you don't have webmail then wget is useless since a email and all of it's attachments are one object seperated internally by mime headers
[03:26] <dkhe> izinucs: a vps.
[03:27] <dkhe> jetole: ok
[03:27] <izinucs> dkhe: vps ??
[03:27] <FroyoShark> edbian: how do you add a new network?
[03:27] <jetole> dkhe: even if you can find a way to get wget to read pop3/imap/whatever protocol, your email, each email is one file. A email with 100 attachments is one file
[03:27] <FroyoShark> edbian: it never connects for me
[03:27] <luchenbill> how come you can not SU in ubuntu 11.+?
[03:28] <dkhe> jetole: ok well i just need the zip file to get in to my vps im just trying to figure out how to
[03:28] <edbian> FroyoShark, wifi?
[03:28] <FroyoShark> edbian: yes
[03:28] <jetole> luchenbill: I just ran su fine in 11.04
[03:28] <izinucs> dkhe: you mean a vpn connection?
[03:28] <edbian> FroyoShark, What card do you have?
[03:28] <FroyoShark> edbian: broadcom b43
[03:28] <hammma> edbian: this seems to be temporary remedy?
[03:28] <edbian> !sudo | luchenbill
[03:28] <jetole> dkhe: download the zip file from your email client
[03:28] <edbian> hammma, When you reboot it will be back to normal
[03:28] <FroyoShark> edbian: i can connect to networks but not if i add a new one
[03:29] <edbian> FroyoShark, You can only create networks on the router
[03:29] <dkhe> jetole: i did. but its in downloads now but what now? i need to get it on my vps and i dont know how.
[03:29] <FroyoShark> edbian: i mean in xchat
[03:29] <luchenbill> I have never ran ubuntu before, but in other linux distro's I'm able to su to get # and not ~ just curious
[03:29] <edbian> FroyoShark, what... ?
[03:29] <jetole> dkhe: how do you get the rest of your files to your vps. Do you have ssh?
[03:29] <FroyoShark> edbian: if i go to xchat, network list, i can't add a new network
[03:29] <edbian> FroyoShark, xchat is an irc client, there are servers and channels but not networks
[03:29] <dkhe> jetole: yes.
[03:29] <edbian> FroyoShark, oh lemme see hang on
[03:29] <jetole> dkhe: man scp
[03:29] <edbian> FroyoShark, When you hit the add button what happens?
[03:30] <chrometiger> ok , i downloaded and installed 11.04 but when trying to boot into the system after grub everything hangs on blank screen.  sometimes busybox is displayed sometimes not,  whats going on, i see many ppl reporting this prob
[03:30] <FroyoShark> edbian: it gives me a text box to put in the name
[03:30] <dkhe> jetole: man scp?
[03:30] <itaylor57> !root | luchenbill
[03:30] <edbian> FroyoShark, So put a name in.  You name the network.  It's arbitrary
[03:30] <jetole> dkhe: in fact I will make it easy, if your ssh host is dkhe.company.com and you connect by typing "ssh dkhe.company.com" then run the commnand "scp Downloads/myfile.zip dkhe.company.com:" (without the quotes)
[03:30] <edbian> FroyoShark, What are you trying to accomplish?
[03:30] <luchenbill> ahh cool cool, I was thinking that I messed something up while I installed it
[03:30] <luchenbill> lol
[03:30] <luchenbill> I was like omg what did I set the pw for
[03:31] <edbian> luchenbill, You're good
[03:31] <edbian> luchenbill, The window decorator crashed.
[03:31] <FroyoShark> edbian: i'm trying to connect to another channel, ie terminal, sudo
[03:31] <jetole> dkhe: man is a command to tell you how to use other commands. It's short for manual
[03:31] <jetole> dkhe: so if you type "man scp" then it will display the manual for the scp program
[03:31] <renosis> I am running the latest release 11.04... with the unity desktop manager... when I am within a program and I want to open a file, while browsing for the file, I have to highlight folders and then click 'ok' to get them to open. Is there any way I can set it up so that I can just double click the folders to open them?
[03:31] <edbian> FroyoShark, The things you're saying do not make sense.  To join another channel in xchat you just type /join #channelName
[03:31] <luchenbill> edbian: so there is no point in doing the tutorial on how to set the su for it from youtube?
[03:31] <spacemagic> I got error: "Error while parsing number" when I tried root (sd0) in grub
[03:31] <edbian> FroyoShark, for example:  /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:32] <luchenbill> sudo is will suffice?
[03:32] <FroyoShark> edbian: oh my bad. i'm new to xchat
[03:32] <edbian> luchenbill, Set the su for what?
[03:32] <edbian> FroyoShark, no worries :)
[03:32] <luchenbill> well I saw on youtube you can create the root account?
[03:32] <jetole> spacemagic: /join #grub
[03:32] <luchenbill> nvm probably just something stupid
[03:32] <jetole> luchenbill: you should be using sudo anyways
[03:32] <edbian> luchenbill, You can create a root account if you want.  It is not necessary.  sudo is a complete replacement
[03:32] <luchenbill> cool tyvm :D
[03:32] <edbian> luchenbill, no problem
[03:33] <jetole> luchenbill: su works for me on 11.04 but I only tried it because you asked. sudo is the preferred way to go
[03:33] <luchenbill> is this because of an extra protection?
[03:33] <luchenbill> jetole: ?
[03:33] <edbian> luchenbill, It's not extra protection.  It's just a different security scheme
[03:34] <taglass> edbian: an awkward replacement at times.  ie sudo somecommand > somefile  oops can't write to somefile :(
[03:34] <jetole> luchenbill: you should be using sudo and not su but you asked why su doesn't work in 11.x (which there is only one 11.x distro, 11.04) and I just ran it fine on 11.04 for me so su does work fine on 11.04 but you should not use su. you should use sudo
[03:34] <Guest71516> whats a good program for uploading music onto a phone?
[03:34] <edbian> taglass, yeah sometimes
[03:34] <celthunder> Guest71516: cp
[03:34] <syrinx_> ^
[03:35] <hammma> ebian: you only need to log off and log in again, but the question is why this is happening in the first place?
[03:35] <edbian> jetole, luchenbill you cannot su root   because there is no root account.  su without a username is su root
[03:35] <jetole> taglass: everything is awkward when you don't understand it for example unity is awkward as hell to me and I have been using Linux since 98 with my first GUI being fvwm95 on redhat 5.2 but the point is sudo work and it works well. it just has a learning curve if you are used to always running commands as room
[03:35] <jetole> *root
[03:35] <edbian> hammma, I don't know.  Something is causing the window decorator to crash.  What are doing that causes the window decorations to disappear?
[03:35] <jetole> edbian: actually there is a root account. Who told you that?
[03:36] <edbian> !root
[03:36] <edbian> jetole, ubottu did
[03:36] <jetole> edbian: read that
[03:36] <celthunder> edbian: sudo su - then passwd
[03:36] <syrinx_> lol
[03:36] <jetole> edbian: read what you just posted
[03:36] <FroyoShark> so i have ubuntu on my other laptop, and whenever i don't move the mouse for 5-10 seconds, things will freeze, such as flash, videos, downloads
[03:36] <syrinx_> it says root password, not account
[03:36] <edbian> There is no root password only?
[03:36] <edbian> ahhh
[03:36] <luchenbill> jetole:  yeah su works but you can't get the password right?
[03:36] <edbian> never knew that
[03:36] <luchenbill> you can't login to su?
[03:36] <Guest71516> celthunder: what is cp? i tried to install and it said it cant find the package
[03:36] <hammma> edbian: sometimes, immediately after turning on the computer
[03:36] <jetole> edbian: right
[03:36] <jetole> edbian: ls -l /
[03:36] <FroyoShark> anybody help?
[03:36] <jetole> see who owns all those files
[03:36] <edbian> luchenbill, su stands for switch user.  The correct phrasing is that you can't log into root using su
[03:36] <celthunder> Guest71516: it's already installed...
[03:37] <edbian> jetole, sorry!
[03:37] <edbian> got it
[03:37] <celthunder> Guest71516: cp = copy
[03:37] <Batshua> Okay, maybe I'm really stupid.
[03:37] <jetole> It's pretty much impossible to have a linux install with root
[03:37] <dkhe> jetole: its saying no file or direc this isnt working. the file is there
[03:37] <luchenbill> rofl sorry you knew what I was saying my bad
[03:37] <jetole> edbian: also: sudo -i
[03:37] <jetole> run that
[03:37] <jetole> then type: id
[03:37] <Batshua> But I'm using XFCE and I want to set up x11 so that my screen works.
[03:37] <edbian> jetole, thank you :D
[03:37] <Batshua> Which GUI apps are available to me?
[03:37] <Batshua> I believe gnome was installed when I installed lucid.
[03:37] <jetole> edbian: did you run those two commands? sudo -i and id?
[03:37] <jetole> cool eh?
[03:37] <celthunder> jetole: it's possible...and quite easy just give another user UID 0/ GID 0
[03:37] <edbian> jetole, yes.  It says root
[03:37] <Guest71516> celthunder: nothing happened when i plugged my phone in.
[03:37] <edbian> jetole, :)
[03:37] <FroyoShark> on my other laptop things will freeze like youtube, videos, downloads
[03:38] <FroyoShark> anybody know how to fix this?
[03:38] <Batshua> It just needs a little more tweaking to be slightly more readable.
[03:38] <celthunder> Guest71516: si it set to usb disk mode?  is udisks seeing it?
[03:38] <jetole> celthunder: it's possible but it will fail. too many applications depend on root access
[03:38] <FroyoShark> please? i've had this problem since ubuntu 9.04
[03:38] <user__> can anyone help with making bootUSB in linux? it doesnt work...
[03:39] <celthunder> jetole: coreutils etc will work..dunno about other stuff i usually rename my root account on servers etc
[03:39] <jetole> celthunder: do you really?
[03:39] <renosis> When I use certain programs, and go to file open, it is very hard to browse through the file structure, because I have to click to highlight each folder and then click ok to get that folder to open, instead of just being able to double-click it.... is there any way to change this? It only seems to happen on certain programs.
[03:39] <jetole> celthunder: and it works?
[03:39] <knight_> can someone help me play wmv movie file please
[03:39] <celthunder> jetole: yeah never had any problems
[03:39] <celthunder> jetole: i'm wierd though...
[03:39] <jetole> I know many many apps will look at the UID but a lot I just really never expected to be that advanced
[03:39] <jetole> celthunder: yeah I guess... why do you do it?
[03:39] <jetole> lol
[03:39] <Batshua> Bueller?
[03:40] <knight_> anyone?
[03:40] <celthunder> jetole: i was bored one day..did it as a test on a system it worked..kept doing it
[03:40] <taglass> In case anyone cares the way around my awkward example is sudo sh -c "somecommand > somefile"
[03:40] <celthunder> knight_: mplayer
[03:40] <edbian> knight_, try to play one with totem, what happens?
[03:40] <edbian> taglass, hahaha
[03:40] <edbian> taglass, thanks
[03:40] <jetole> celthunder: wow. Yeah all my servers I deploy from images and I really don't plan to make that change but I have to admit. I am pretty surprised it works
[03:40] <knight_> it says totem is installed and mplayer is installed but i cant find them
[03:41] <edbian> knight_, open a terminal, type totem
[03:41] <celthunder> jetole: i have a few production servers and like 20 test ones lol...i just do whatever i want when i'm bored
[03:41] <Monona> How do I sync (or at least enough for ringtones) a Samsung Gusto on Lucid 10.04?
[03:41] <celthunder> Guest71516: ? lsusb see it
[03:41] <jetole> knight_: mplayer can be run from the command line. I would google mediabuntu, install that repo then install w64codecs too
[03:41] <TVision> Hi. I'm using irssi and ircd-hybrid. Even though I /oper, I can't see secret (+s) channels with /list. What am I doing wrong?
[03:42] <celthunder> TVision: what oper permissions do you have
[03:42] <knight_> this is the error i get with totem it says its encrypted
[03:42] <moses> when i download a program i navigate to it
[03:42] <moses> but how to i install it?
[03:42] <renosis> can anyone at least acknowledge my question?
[03:42] <Guest71516> celthunder: where would it be? on the top of the screen?
[03:42] <edbian> knight_, encrypted?   can mplayer play it?
[03:42] <TVision>  celthunder: the server spits this out: Oper privs are AbDGHKlNORsUx
[03:42] <edbian> knight_, can vlc play it?
[03:42] <edbian> renosis, ack
[03:42] <gkj> jetole: it doesnt work
[03:43] <celthunder> edbian: vlc fails use mplayer
[03:43] <edbian> celthunder, vlc fails?  Never heard that before
[03:43] <renosis> whew, I thought noone could hear me
[03:43] <renosis> heh
[03:43] <knight_> about to try
[03:43] <celthunder> Guest71516: check in a terminal
[03:43] <jetole> celthunder: cool. I forget what bored is.  I have a lot more then a few production servers that I am responsible for. Right now I am deploying redundant load balancing through IPVS and heartbeat which is cool. We are replacing our load balancers with two. If one fails, the other takes over automatically / active/passive with hot standby. It's fun but that gives you idea of how busy I am.
[03:44] <knight_> how do i play one with mplayer
[03:44] <TVision> celthunder: and my usermode looks like this: +ailoswz
[03:44] <jetole> I'm going for a smoke. be back in 10
[03:44] <knight_> and vlc wont
[03:44] <bencc> is it ok if a symlink has a lrwxrwxrwx permissions?
[03:44] <edbian> knight_, Is the wmv encrypted?
[03:44] <bencc> I'm looking at munin plugins which are stored under /usr/share/munin/plugins and linked to /etc/munin/plugins
[03:44] <renosis> So, there are a few programs, that bring up some old fashioned file browser, in which you can't double click folders to get them open... anyone have a suggestion?
[03:44] <luchenbill> how can I set the permissions for the /var/www dir so I can start testing websites?
[03:44] <celthunder> jetole: i need a job want to throw some of your workload at me :)
[03:44] <knight_> idk how would i find out
[03:45] <edbian> knight_, mplayer /path/to/file
[03:45] <Guest71516> celthunder: how?
[03:45] <edbian> renosis, What app?   wing IDE?
[03:45] <izinucs> luchenbill: you become a member of www-data.. you don't change permissions
[03:45] <renosis> edbian, replicatorG
[03:45] <celthunder> Guest71516: udisks --daemon then new tab plug it in lsusb then go back to the first one udisks see it?
[03:45] <renosis> edbian, for 3d printing on a makerbot
[03:45] <renosis> edbian, but there are others too
[03:45] <renosis> edbian let me go find one
[03:46] <TVision> whois celthunder
[03:46] <celthunder> TVision: the local jackass who're you
[03:46]  * taglass passes TVision a /
[03:46] <edbian> renosis, Does it look like this: http://fishsoup.net/bib/FileSelectorFosdem2003/gtk-plain.png
[03:46] <luchenbill> izinucs: could you point me in the right direction on that, i'm a bit new to this whole linux thing :D
[03:47] <renosis> edbian, yes very similar
[03:47] <TVision> Just checking your timezone is all.
[03:47] <mouche> luchenbill: useradd -G www-data <your username>
[03:47] <renosis> is there any place to configure... whatever file browser that is?
[03:47] <edbian> renosis, That is the deprecated file chooser dialog written in gtk.  The developers have to change the app to use the new one (which they really should)  You're just gonna have to deal with it :(
[03:47] <celthunder> TVision: lol gmt -6 i'm connecte through a server in a diff timezone...and i am on at odd hours...do 60 hours a week so...i'm on at random hours when not at work
[03:47] <luchenbill> mouche:  cool could you help me understand exactly what it does, besides the obvious of adding a user to www-data, what is www-data?
[03:48] <izinucs> luchenbill: every thing belongs to a group.. www-data is the group for apache2 .. how did you get the idea you have to change permissions to test an apache server?
[03:48] <renosis> edbian ok, that's too bad... thanks :]
[03:48] <edbian> renosis, yeah, that sucks
[03:48] <Habstina1> In 11.04, my sidebar won't go away. I have it set to only pop out when I move my mouse to the top left corner, but it's staying out. How can I push it back in?
[03:48] <knight_> i got this error when i try to play it using mplayer MPlayer 1.0rc4-4.5.2 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team
[03:48] <knight_> mplayer: could not connect to socket
[03:48] <knight_> mplayer: No such file or directory
[03:48] <knight_> Failed to open LIRC support. You will not be able to use your remote control.
[03:48] <gkj> can someone help me scp my file from my laptop in to a passwored vps?
[03:48] <FloodBot1> knight_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:48] <edbian> luchenbill, www-data is a group
[03:48] <luchenbill> izinucs:  well i'm trying to place a index.php file I created into the /var/www folder, and it's not allowing me
[03:48] <spacemagic> #grub is way too quiet to get help from
[03:48] <renosis> edbian, ok, that is all I needed to know, thanks very much for your help
[03:48] <knight_> oh sorry
[03:48] <moses> why wont java work in firefox for ubuntu?
[03:48] <edbian> Habstina1, full screen same app
[03:48] <edbian> renosis, sure
[03:48] <celthunder> gkj: scp <localfile> <user@server>:<newfile>
[03:49] <celthunder> gkj: add -r if it's a dir etc...same as if it  were cp
[03:49] <izinucs> luchenbill: place it? where .. in the /var/www folder?
[03:49] <edbian> luchenbill, do you have a gui on this machine?
[03:49] <izinucs> from where?
[03:49] <TVision> celthunder: Ever tried polyphaisic sleep? Sleep 1 hour blocks at regular intervals. It screws with your head for a few weeks, but when I was doing that I got a crazy amount of work done.
[03:49] <spacemagic> i just tried grub-install /dev/sda and got "could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device
[03:49] <luchenbill> yes sir, i'm using gnome it's  a fresh install of ubuntu 11.04
[03:49] <Habstina1> edbian: Sorry, I don't quite understand. I've tried toggling my open apps from fullscreen to windowed mode and back.
[03:49] <celthunder> TVision: i sleep 2 hours a day or less on average...i'm not breakingit in half
[03:49] <edbian> spacemagic, figure ou the /dev/sdX  by looking at sudo fdisk -l
[03:49] <celthunder> TVision: i barely get enough as it is
[03:49] <luchenbill> cat /proc/version
[03:49] <luchenbill> Linux version 2.6.38-8-generic (buildd@vernadsky) (gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu3) ) #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011
[03:50] <edbian> Habstina1, mmm, when I full screen any app (maximize) the bar hides.  That's all I know
[03:50] <wescx005> what up
[03:50] <Habstina1> edbian: Yes. Mine usually does too. But now it won't.
[03:50] <TVision> celthunder: Caffiene is God's (Or Evolution's) gift to hard-working people. . .
[03:50] <celthunder> luchenbill: your gcc is out of date
[03:50] <celthunder> TVision: got that right...
[03:50] <luchenbill> I created a file on my desktop called index.php and I wanted to move it into /var/www so I could view it using http://localhost/
[03:50] <knight_> ok heres the error i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/611662/
[03:50] <mouche> luchenbill: the separate user for the webserver is for security reasons; it has very little permissions to do anything other than what's required for the webserver
[03:50] <FroyoShark> in kde i am unable to connect to ad-hoc networks, when i can in gnome
[03:50] <spacemagic> should it say Linux Swap or just linux?
[03:50] <Habstina1> edbian: It's a real pain because it blocks more than a few important buttons in LibreOffice.
[03:50] <Guest71516> celthunder: I see it in lsusb
[03:51] <edbian> Habstina1, I don't know.  It's frozen?
[03:51] <celthunder> Guest71516: and udisks?
[03:51] <FroyoShark> anybody help me with connecting to ad-hoc in kde?
[03:51] <celthunder> Guest71516: does it show up in /dev
[03:51] <TVision> celthunder: Anyway, I can't for the life of me figure out why ircd-hybrid won't let my list +s channels. Do I need to do something to the config file?
[03:51] <FroyoShark> hello?
[03:51] <izinucs> luchenbill: sudo mv /Desktop/<filename> /var/www/ ... then sudo chown root:www-data /var/www/<same file name>
[03:51] <edbian> spacemagic, It should say linux.  But you don't install grub to /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda5 you install it to the harddrive.  /dev/sda
[03:51] <celthunder> FroyoShark: ifconfig wlan0 down;iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc essid "<youressid>";ifconfig wlan0 up;dhcpcd wlan0
[03:51] <spacemagic> right
[03:51] <spacemagic> that is what I tried
[03:52] <spacemagic> grub-install /dev/sda
[03:52] <celthunder> FroyoShark: replace wlan0 with your wireless inteface
[03:52] <Habstina1> edbian: Nope. It still works for switching windows, but it just won't go away.
[03:52] <luchenbill> so chown will change the permissions for that folder?
[03:52] <celthunder> luchenbill: no chown changes group/owner
[03:52] <knight_> any idea?
[03:52] <celthunder> er owner/group rather
[03:53] <izinucs> luchenbill: no .. chown changes the owner and group.. the file needs to be owned by root and a member of www-data
[03:53] <FoolishOwl> Hello. Any bind experts? Does rndc.key expire after a year?
[03:53] <luchenbill> sorry i'm just trying to understand fully what i'm doing :)
[03:53] <Guest71516> celthunder: I dont see it in udisks. and dont know how to look at /dev
[03:53] <user__> fdisk -l command doesn't list any of device including USB. any ideas?
[03:54] <edbian> spacemagic, I think you have to sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/path/to/mounted/ubuntu/boot /dev/sda
[03:54] <edbian> spacemagic, do you have the ubuntu install mounted?
[03:54] <spacemagic> i'm running off live cd
[03:54] <luchenbill> so I would need to do this with every file I would like to move in there?
[03:54] <edbian> Habstina1, I don't know
[03:54] <edbian> spacemagic, I know
[03:54] <spacemagic> where is boot directory?
[03:55] <evildaemon> Test
[03:55] <izinucs> luchenbill: you can move them all there and change them in bulk if you want.. makes it easier if you (your user) becomes a member of www-data
[03:55] <edbian> spacemagic, it should be in /   but we want to use the /boot that's on the Ubuntu install, not the one on the live CD
[03:55] <celthunder> luchenbill: ln -s ~/public_html /var/www/;a2enmod userdir
[03:55] <celthunder> luchenbill: do the first one as root
[03:55] <spacemagic> right. so how do i access it
[03:55] <celthunder> luchenbill: then just move your stuff in public_html
[03:55] <edbian> spacemagic, Did you mount the ubuntu install ?
[03:56] <izinucs> luchenbill: if you're in the /var/www directory you can ls -la which will give you a listing of files in the directory and their owner/group association
[03:56] <evildaemon> Is there a "workspace" system for CL?
[03:56] <Guest71516> celthunder: so its in my places but its not letting me do anything to it.
[03:56] <TuffPoo> hey guys just did a fresh install of ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop and gnome is crashing and stuff
[03:56] <evildaemon> Like, the abillity to have more then one CL at once without running X?
[03:56] <ball> Does 11.04 even /have/ Gnome?
[03:56] <Habstina1> edbian: Hm. Is there any way to just get rid of the bar entirely for the time being? I
[03:56] <TuffPoo> is there a way to uninstall and reinstall it?
[03:57] <ball> TuffPoo: yes.
[03:57] <TuffPoo> ball: im in ubuntu classic
[03:57] <ZykoticK9> evildaemon, check out "screen"
[03:57] <Habstina1> edbian: I'd rather it not be there at all and have to swtich my windows manually at this point.
[03:57] <edbian> Habstina1, Log out, click your name, change the session to 'ubuntu classic' and log in  :)
[03:57] <izinucs> TuffPoo: just reinstall if you want
[03:57] <celthunder> Guest71516: did the udisks daemon see it does it show up in /dev? is it in usb storage mode?
[03:57] <TuffPoo> how????
[03:57] <izinucs> TuffPoo: with the cd.. no need to uninstall
[03:57] <Habstina1> edbian: Thanks.
[03:57] <celthunder> oops Guest11276 sorry lol i scrolled up and read your other message twice
[03:57] <edbian> spacemagic, If you didn't mount it I can tell you how
[03:58] <celthunder> Guest71516: ok are you in group storage? type mount what's the permissions it's mounted with?
[03:58] <Guest71516> celthunder: I dont see it in udisks. and dont know how to look at /dev
[03:58] <luchenbill> thanks for the advice gusy
[03:58] <luchenbill> guys*
[03:58] <izinucs> np
[03:59] <TuffPoo> izinucs: i can use the cd to reinstall gnome?
[03:59] <celthunder> Guest71516: how's it mounted
[03:59] <izinucs> TuffPoo: it will reinstall the entire system..
[03:59] <celthunder> TuffPoo: sure......you don't need the cd though
[04:00] <celthunder> TuffPoo: just mount it from the livecd and then enter ti as a chroot and install what you want
[04:00] <Guest71516> celthunder: I dont know how to find that out.
[04:00] <izinucs> TuffPoo: the thing is you're assuming that gnome is causing the issues you're having.. it might not be ..
[04:00] <FoolishOwl> I was having trouble restarting bind9. I kept seeing references to the error being associated with rndc.key, and I noticed the date on rndc.key was 2010-05-21, a year ago yesterday.
[04:00] <celthunder> Guest71516: pastebin output of mount
[04:01] <celthunder> FoolishOwl: so you made a 1 year valid key
[04:01] <TuffPoo> izinucs: it is its crashing and its saying gnome crashes
[04:02] <ehduhj> how do you open 2 terminals in ubuntu 11.04?
[04:02] <edbian> ehduhj, Open the first one, then open the second one
[04:02] <izinucs> TuffPoo: sorry I can't diagnose your issue. someone else will have to take up the cause.
[04:02] <celthunder> ehduhj: depends on your window manager aliases bindings and etc
[04:02] <FoolishOwl> celthunder, that's what it looks like. I haven't seen anything in the documentation about an expiration, though.
[04:02] <ehduhj> edbian: how?
[04:02] <ihashacks> ehduhj: ctrl + shift + n
[04:02] <celthunder> FoolishOwl: most keys have a default of 1 year when you make them
[04:02] <edbian> ehduhj, ?
[04:02] <ihashacks> OR middle-click on the terminal icon
[04:02] <ehduhj> thx
[04:03] <luchenbill> applications -> accessories -> terminal and repeat
[04:03] <luchenbill> lol
[04:03] <carnage1> this is fantastic everything is greyed out
[04:03] <luchenbill> yay I knew that one
[04:04] <tapple> how to force-quit an application under the 11.04 window manager?
[04:04] <carnage1> alt-f4
[04:04] <jetole> celthunder: would if I could @ workload
[04:04] <tapple> I mean' an application that is hung and won't exit cleanly
[04:04] <ihashacks> tapple: Alt +F2 and run "xkill"
[04:04] <jetole> celthunder: I don't work for HR and unless you live close to Miami then there isn't a chance
[04:05] <carnage1> force-quit panel add
[04:05] <celthunder> jetole: willing to move...can move within a week if needd
[04:05] <ihashacks> your curson then changes to an X and you click in the window
[04:05] <taglass> tapple: alt-f2 xkill "click on app to kill"
[04:05] <jetole> celthunder: good to know but again, I don't work in HR
[04:05] <celthunder> jetole: lol thanks anyway :)
[04:05] <taglass> damned too slow
[04:05] <tapple> thanks
[04:05] <FoolishOwl> Everything seems fine since I did rndc-confgen -a and forced a reboot -- the original problem was I couldn't restart bind.
[04:05] <Guest71516> celthunder: it wont allow me to change permissions says its read only
[04:06] <danbhfive> hi folks, anyone know how to debug a memory leak?  ie, how can I be sure it is the program that I think it is
[04:07] <celthunder> Guest71516: mount -o remount,rw <device name/mountpoint>
[04:07] <helpwithubuntu> i made a huge nub mistake, http://pastebin.com/JuvdX6py i read through the file and pushed CTRL + C but then the update thing went away, help please.
[04:08] <celthunder> jetole: i love peoples nicks in here
[04:08] <danbhfive> helpwithubuntu: try restarting the upgrade
[04:08] <Guest71516> celthunder: do i write that in a terminal?
[04:08] <infinitux> not sure why my screen wants to flicker no matter what refresh rate i use.
[04:08] <celthunder> danbhfive: strace?
[04:08] <celthunder> Guest71516: yes
[04:08] <infinitux> well if it's a low res it doesn't do it though
[04:08] <celthunder> infinitux: turn off vsync
[04:08] <infinitux> vsync?
[04:08] <infinitux> how?
[04:09] <celthunder> vsync drops your refresh rate to the same as the vertical sync which is USUALLY the refresh rate
[04:09] <celthunder> er it drops your fps rather
[04:09] <helpwithubuntu> danbhfive, http://pastebin.com/rQ5REp1M
[04:09] <helpwithubuntu> ;(!
[04:09] <infinitux> this will work with my nvidia driver?
[04:10] <celthunder> infinitux: use nvidias utils to do it then for the how
[04:10] <infinitux> uh. how?
[04:11] <tacomaster> ok i just went to ubuntu software center and installed virtualbox-ose and tried to add windows xp to it and it told me that it failed to open the os and that i needed to install virtualbox-ose-dkms but i already have it installed and the other thing it told me was to do a sudo modprobe vboxdrv and that just gives me the error FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found?
[04:11] <infinitux> disable Sync to VBlank?
[04:11] <carnage1> ont use ose
[04:11] <thegoodcushion> tacomaster: #virtualbox
[04:11] <thegoodcushion> actually, I'm not sure if they support the Open Source edition
[04:11] <helpwithubuntu> danbhfive think theres a way to fix it or should i just wipe the drive,?
[04:11] <Guest71516> celthunder: it says only root can do that. I dont know how to be root
[04:11] <KM0201> tacomaster: i would agree w/ that.. dn';t use the OSE.. download/install from virtualbox.org
[04:11] <izinucs> tacomaster: forget the -ose version.. go right to their site and download the ubuntu version there.
[04:12] <wescx005> barf
[04:12] <tacomaster> ok ty for fast responce
[04:12] <danbhfive> helpwithubuntu: hmmm, I dunno, that sucks that it doesn't pick up where it left off.    btw, don't use -d unless you want the latest development release.      I would try just sudo apt-get dist-upgrade      if you don't care about any left over packages that much
[04:12] <infinitux> celthunder: disable Sync to VBlank?
[04:12] <helpwithubuntu> danbhfive, sudo apt-get dist-upgrad
[04:13] <helpwithubuntu> oh fail, http://pastebin.com/Ca66yRrA *
[04:14] <celthunder> Guest71516: sudo su -
[04:15] <celthunder> infinitux: try it
[04:15] <infinitux> celthunder: yes?
[04:15] <danbhfive> helpwithubuntu: er, I'm unsure how to debug that.  I think there is some sort of fuser command
[04:16] <infinitux> it's not flickering as much if at all.
[04:16] <danbhfive> helpwithubuntu: the other option is to just remove the lock and continue...
[04:16] <scottj> any linux programs that can change the pitch/sound of mic audio realtime?
[04:16] <celthunder> infinitux: well...improvement is better than nothing
[04:16] <forcex> Hey all I got a Q. Hope someone has an A.
[04:16] <carnage1> i use srs audio in wine
[04:17] <celthunder> focex A
[04:17] <forcex> I want to find a way to put a Linux Distro on to a sprint HTC Mogul. WM6.1
[04:17] <celthunder> scottj: probably
[04:17] <Jordan_U> celthunder: No need to start a root shell when "sudo mount -o remount,rw ..." works just as well.
[04:17] <celthunder> Jordan_U: probably not...i hate sudo though...1000x more typing than just keeping a root term open 24/7
[04:18] <forcex> I have all the info on the phone but can't find any info on a distro for it or how to flash it to the phone.
[04:18] <Jordan_U> celthunder: While you may prefer that it's discouraged in this channel as among other things it makes it easier to make catastrophic mistakes. While giving help here please suggest use of sudo for each individual command.
[04:19] <danbhfive> !fixapt | helpwithubuntu
[04:19] <celthunder> forcex: xda-developers.com
[04:20] <helpwithubuntu> omg
[04:20] <forcex> celthunder thanks
[04:20] <helpwithubuntu> duuuude thank you
[04:20] <helpwithubuntu> the updates are going again!! :DDD
[04:22] <tacomaster> ok i went to the site and installed virtualbox 4.0 uninstalled virtualbox-ose and all the files that came with it but now virutalbox is doing the same thing?
[04:22] <tapple> in unity, how do I get info about what a dock bar icon does? The "install ubuntu 11.04" launcher is doing nothing, and I want to know what program it runs so I can run it in a terminal and see if there are error messages
[04:22] <escott> scottj, im sure gstreamer can, but its not particularly user friendly
[04:22] <celthunder> toggles: what's the error sorry i think i missed it
[04:24] <levtim> Is anyone else having trouble with unity on older hardware (P4, integrated video)
[04:24] <levtim> ?
[04:26] <celthunder> levtim: what kind of trouble
[04:26] <levtim> It drops back to regular gnome 2.x
[04:29] <danbhfive> celthunder: thanks for the suggestion of strace.  I've no idea how to read the output though...
[04:32] <ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu> Does Darwinia allow you to reinstall it?
[04:32] <ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu> I had to do a fresh insta;;
[04:32] <ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu> install*
[04:32] <unnamed> when you have the ubuntu dvd, how do you install a server version of it i forget.
[04:32] <Guest84559> isn't it a boot option?
[04:33] <celthunder> unnamed bootstrap
[04:33] <celthunder> Guest84559: bootstrap though i think that's usually for netinstalls you can use it wth the dvd
[04:33] <jmcantrell> how does nouveau compare with the proprietary driver?
[04:33] <Guest84559> ah okay celthunder
[04:34] <celthunder> jmcantrell: depends what youre using it for
[04:34] <rww> ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu: It should do, yes. Re-add the PPA using the information on http://launchpad.net/people/+me/+archivesubscriptions/ and reinstall the relevant package.
[04:34] <Guest84559> celthunder: so when the installer comes up how do i tell it i don't want it installing gnome?
[04:35] <jmcantrell> celthunder: well, desktop effects. minecraft
[04:35] <ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu> rww, it's a purchased game
[04:35] <rww> ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu: I'm aware.
[04:35] <ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu> There was no PPA information?
[04:36] <Toph2> under ubuntu 11.04 , I had sound running ubuntu classic. I logged into Ubuntu and lost my audio and it is even now gone under Classic. Any ideas?
[04:36] <rww> ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu: Did you look at that page?
[04:36] <Guest84559> ah found it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems
[04:36] <ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu> It said I couldn't access the page rww
[04:36] <rww> ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu: log in to Launchpad
[04:36] <ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu> I am logged in
[04:36] <ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu> it said it's private
[04:37] <celthunder> Guest84559: http://book.xen.prgmr.com/mediawiki/index.php/Debootstrap it's for a vps install but replace relevant crap with the cd info and you'll be fine
[04:37] <celthunder> Guest84559: should give you the equiv of a min install
[04:37] <rww> ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu: what's the exact message you get?
[04:38] <Guest84559> do i just add 'linux-generic' to the boot options?
[04:38] <ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu> "You do not have any current subscriptions to private archives. "
[04:38] <Guest84559> or do i have to put it somewhere else is what im wondering
[04:38] <jmcantrell> is nouveau the recommended driver or should i stick with nvidia's?
[04:38] <rww> ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu: Beautiful. I guess Software Center has multiple ways of dealing with this stuff, then, because the one I got used a PPA.
[04:38] <celthunder> jmcantrell: if you get nvidia's working use it if not nouveau
[04:38] <Tempus_Fugit> ok has anyone in here used app inventor?
[04:38] <ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu> Yeah, I paided for Darwinia and then it just downloaded
[04:39] <haydenkeller> Hello, Is there a way i can add windows 7 as a option to my bootmenu inside ubuntu? Cause i can't boot into anymore to retrieve my files
[04:39] <jmcantrell> celthunder: well, it's playing havoc with plymouth
[04:39] <clusterfusk> I need somebody who knows their way around C programming to help me fix vloopback-source.  the package provided by the natty repo is incompatible with kernels 2.6.38 and higher because of the absence of videodev.h.  I have already changed it to depend on libv4l1.h but I'm still getting the following errors - http://dpaste.com/545431/
[04:39] <jmcantrell> is there any way to set my video settings on boot to some higher resolution and just do a text boot?
[04:40] <rww> ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu: the way it works with Vendetta is that it adds access to a private PPA to your LP account, adds the PPA to your sources.list, and then downloads the package. It's all transparent so that you just see it downloading stuff.
[04:40] <Tempus_Fugit> could someone look at this image of my screen and let me know what to change or do diff??... http://imagebin.org/154560
[04:40] <clusterfusk> I'm a complete newbie with c, btw
[04:40] <rww> ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu: if you don't have any PPA subscriptions on the LP account you put into Software Center, I guess Darwinia is different, and I'm not about to drop $10 to check that ;)
[04:40] <ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu> Yeah, I don't think Darwinia does that. Thanks for the help though! HAHA
[04:40] <ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu> Oh well
[04:40] <ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu> I contacted them, I'll see what they say
[04:41] <jmcantrell> any way to turn off plymouth?
[04:41] <carnage1> someone just shot up alice coopers house
[04:42] <danbhfive> jmcantrell: if you just want to see the messages, I think [esc] works
[04:42] <celthunder> jmcantrell: i don't even have plymouth installed...
[04:42] <thegoodcushion> carnage1: source?
[04:42] <netlyh> i
[04:42] <haydenkeller> Is there a way i can add windows 7 as a option to my bootmenu inside ubuntu? Cause i can't boot into anymore to retrieve my files
[04:42] <celthunder> carnage1: who the hell's alice cooper
[04:42] <carnage1> dead air
[04:42] <Tempus_Fugit> could someone look at this and let me know whats wrong? http://imagebin.org/154560
[04:42] <jmcantrell> danbhfive: i want to turn it off because it doesn't work with nvidia
[04:43] <carnage1> who is phillip lougher?
[04:43] <celthunder> haydenkeller: edit /boot/grub/grub.lst or whatever it is now
[04:43] <jmcantrell> celthunder: you can just uninstall it?
[04:43] <rww> !ot | carnage1
[04:43] <celthunder> jmcantrell: i never had it installed to begin with
[04:43] <jmcantrell> celthunder: well, it comes installed by default with ubuntu
[04:44] <tensorpudding> Tempus_Fugit: it seems lintian is trying to protect you from downloading a package which broke policy
[04:44] <danbhfive> jmcantrell: careful trying to uninstall that.  I think it will drag out EVERYTHING else  :)
[04:45] <jmcantrell> danbhfive: yeah, i didn't think it would be as easy as that ;)
[04:45] <rww> jmcantrell: you can't remove the 'plymouth' package from Ubuntu >=10.04 without lots of breakage. Edit /etc/default/grub, remove "splash" from the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line, then run sudo update-grub
[04:45] <Monona> How do I sync (or at least enough for ringtones) a Samsung Gusto on Lucid 10.04?  BitPim isn't working.
[04:45] <mrdeb> is anyone growing to like unity
[04:45] <Tempus_Fugit> tensorpudding: well is everyone on linux getting that same error or do you think other ubuntu users have installed it?
[04:45] <jmcantrell> rww: i'll try that, thanks :)
[04:45] <Jordan_U> !ot | mrdeb
[04:46] <mrdeb> :(
[04:46] <celthunder> danbhfive: since when do you "need" a graphical boot manager
[04:46] <jmcantrell> mrdeb: i like it. it would be nice to see some bugs fixed, however
[04:46] <fushigamu> Hi. If I am IRC op, how can I get /list to show secret (+s) channels? Sorry English no good.
[04:46] <celthunder> danbhfive: anything that set's that as a dependancy fails
[04:46] <rww> fushigamu: you don't
[04:46] <tensorpudding> Tempus_Fugit: given that the package is a deb, it's only a problem for people who installed the deb
[04:46] <tensorpudding> Tempus_Fugit: probably someone has reported the issue to whoever is distributing that package
[04:47] <fushigamu> Then is there a way to disable secret channels?
[04:47] <thegoodcushion> Has anyone here got nvidia non-free drivers working with 32-bit PAE kernel?  I can't get them working with PAE kernel.  It starts up with the "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" thing
[04:47] <Tempus_Fugit> tensorpudding: ok ty
[04:47] <HelloWorld321> Is there much difference between CVS & SVN ?  Is one "better"?
[04:47] <rww> fushigamu: which IRCd are you using?
[04:47] <fushigamu> ircd-hybrid
[04:47] <bozdog> hi all
[04:47] <tensorpudding> HelloWorld321: there are some big usability differences, SVN is considered to be superior
[04:47] <carnage1> do you have a 64 bit processor?
[04:47] <jmcantrell> HelloWorld321: if it's only between those two... svn
[04:47] <fushigamu> if /oper, then can't I see all channels, even secret?
[04:48] <celthunder> HelloWorld321: git is better but svn is generally better than cvs
[04:48] <thegoodcushion> carnage1: yes
[04:48] <bozdog> I have recently installed ubuntu 11.04 and all was well
[04:48] <carnage1> pae is 48 bit
[04:48] <tacomaster> i figured out what made virtualbox not work i had to do a "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)" then a sudo /etc/init.d/vbox setup
[04:48] <celthunder> thegoodcushion: why are you using 32bit pae instead of just using 64
[04:48] <thegoodcushion> celthunder: well... the website said I should use 32 bit and it talked me into it
[04:49] <Toph2> my system (11.04) isn't detectuing a sound card,, any suggestions?
[04:49] <bozdog> until i changed something in compiz and now i have no vertical menu bar and i am unable to access any menus etc
[04:49] <tacomaster> celthunder: 64 bit has driver isues and things seem to not work as well like i have a computer with 6GB of ram but i use a 32bit pae
[04:49] <celthunder> thegoodcushion: which website?  the "we don't want to move the world forward...everyone use 8bit software
[04:49] <bozdog> any help appreciated.
[04:49] <thegoodcushion> celthunder: no, at ubuntu.com I went to download the 64-bit one and it said use 32
[04:49] <celthunder> tacomaster: chroot what doesn't work (flash mostly)
[04:50] <celthunder> meh failsite
[04:50]  * celthunder goes to see for himself
[04:50] <thegoodcushion> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[04:50] <drpuritan> hello
[04:50] <carnage1> celthunder: haveyou run thelatest updates?
[04:50] <tacomaster> celthunder: alot of things dont work with 64 but thats just my opinion nothing seemed to work as well as 32 bit
[04:50] <RocketLauncher> hohoho
[04:51] <Dylan16807> Is there a way to make xdg-open stop issuing http HEAD requests to look at mime types and instead just send anything starting in http:// to my browser?
[04:51] <mrdeb> tacomaster: it works faster in 64 bit
[04:51] <Dylan16807> The fun part is that the man page SAYS it sends urls to the browser but this is a blatant lie.
[04:51] <jmcantrell> tacomaster: everything works fine for me in x64
[04:51] <bozdog> any unity experts ?
[04:51] <tacomaster> i could never get half my drivers to work in 64 bit and all my hardware works in 32
[04:51] <taglass> !ask
[04:52] <thegoodcushion> Now I've put effort into getting my installation working properly.  If I install 64-bit I'll have to do it all over again
[04:52] <jmcantrell> Dylan16807: you can write a shell function to do that
[04:52] <vitorrepublicano> alguém do Brasil?
[04:52] <Jordan_U> !br | vitorrepublicano
[04:52] <vitorrepublicano> valeus
[04:52] <vitorrepublicano> ;)
[04:53] <Dylan16807> I suppose.  At this point I've just told pidgin to bypass the system url schemes but I'm still looking for a way to fix it instead of a hack, whether that hack be in pidgin or in the shell.
[04:53] <bozdog> does anyone know how to restore the default desktop for ubuntu 11.04?
[04:53] <thegoodcushion> bozdog: log into Ubuntu Classic
[04:53] <celthunder> thegoodcushion: meh it's personal preference i guess...but anything that works in 32 bit works in 64
[04:53] <bullgard4> [Natty] When booting Grub 2 allows to select »recovery mode«. A recovery menu appears. Didn't old Ubuntu releases there show a menu item »netroot« with the description "Drop to root shell prompt with networking"? Where has it gone in Natty?
[04:53] <HelloWorld321> Do GIT  & Fossil beat SVN & CVS ?
[04:54] <rww> !ot | HelloWorld321
[04:54] <Dylan16807> Even if the 'fix' is just an update of the manual page and me wiping a tear from my eye...
[04:54] <jmcantrell> HelloWorld321: try #git #hg and #svn
[04:55] <Nintet> man that Unity was getting on my nerves... good thing you guys kept fluxbox arround
[04:55] <jazzybee> Hi. I installed 11.04 32-bit on VirtualBox. The host is Vista. Ubuntu won't give me the option to increase the screen size. It's stuck at 800x600. I installed Guest Additions and ran VBLxLinuxAdditions as root but it didn't help.
[04:56] <evildaemon> If I run the networked recover console, (Like I am now) Then login as my user, and use it like a regular session, does that open a security vulnerabillity?
[04:56] <evildaemon> *recovery
[04:56]  * Dylan16807 pokes at strace to figure out who to blame
[04:57] <carnage1> blame the toolbox
[04:59] <evildaemon> Ello?
[04:59] <drpuritan> Hello
[05:01] <jmcantrell> rww: there is no /etc/default/grub

[05:04] <mintypu> Hi everyone. I am running ubuntu 11.04 and some how messed up that I can't get back the unity panel can any one help me
[05:04] <evildaemon> So I assume the ratio of people leaving to joining about balances out over time?
[05:04] <carnage1> maari

[05:04] <Da|Mummy> how did you do it and please explain so i can get rid of this damn unity crap
[05:05] <carnage1> poosa
[05:05] <sagarchalise> mintypu: try unity --reset
[05:05] <Da|Mummy> i dont even know how to get to my wine folder on this thing now
[05:05] <Nintet> actually... i am tired of fluxbox now, i want to go back to unity
[05:05] <Nintet> took about 15 minutes
[05:05] <evildaemon> unity --reset?
[05:05] <mintypu> I was trying to get rid of an out of sinnal error I get any time I boot up
[05:05] <Gnea> evildaemon: that's the goal of corporate entities: to divide and conquer
[05:05] <bozdog> how do i get back to unity?
[05:05] <xerocint> thanks gnea
[05:05] <sagarchalise> HI people I get destination host unreachable when i ping to my router with static ip. Can anyone help?
[05:06] <drpuritan> bozdog: at login?
[05:06] <MakaH> I am needing help with a dpkg error that i get anytime i try to install something, I am using 10.04. Is this the right room?
[05:06] <evildaemon> Gnea, I don't understand.
[05:06] <Jordan_U> MakaH: Yes. What error exactly?
[05:06] <bozdog> drpuritan i upgraded to 11.04 all was well altered a setting in compiz and now have no menus etc
[05:06] <evildaemon> Or is it just sun tzu week and I missed it?
[05:06] <bullgard4> !enter | mintypu
[05:06] <Gnea> evildaemon: the decision for Ubuntu to move forward with Unity comes from the top, ultimately
[05:07] <evildaemon> Ah.
[05:07] <Nintet> what is the name of the app that lets you choose your wm?
[05:07] <evildaemon> No, I meant run Unity --reset in terminal.
[05:07] <mintypu> ok sorrry
[05:07] <bozdog> driving me nuts
[05:07] <Nintet> you should have a drop down menu to choose between unity and fluxbox
[05:07] <Gnea> Nintet: gdm
[05:07] <evildaemon> To fix the guy that wanted it back.
[05:07] <drpuritan> bozdog: I have had similar issues with compiz; have you rebooted?
[05:07] <evildaemon> *Guys problem that he
[05:07] <carnage1> logon screen
[05:08] <Da|Mummy> seriously, how do i get to my wine folder in natty?
[05:08] <bozdog> drpuritan reboote and reinstalled currently running in low graphics mode
[05:08] <xerocint> !rockbox
[05:08] <bullgard4> [Natty] When booting Grub 2 allows to select »recovery mode«. A recovery menu appears. Didn't old Ubuntu releases there show a menu item »netroot« with the description "Drop to root shell prompt with networking"? Where has it gone in Natty?
[05:09] <bozdog> is there a command to reinstate unity at the terminal?
[05:09] <evildaemon> Lol, I don't think anybodies actually going to root their ipod with rockbox. "Should take 15 minutes" more like 15 hours.
[05:09] <MakaH> The error is "dpkg: warning: old pre-removal script returned error exit status 1" and it's trying to do something with bnetd which i installed a while ago but it didnt install right, it wont let me remove it
[05:09] <drpuritan> bozdog: reboots with compiz issues have worked for me; I am too new to help beyond that
[05:09] <drpuritan> sorry
[05:09] <Da|Mummy> anybody who hasnt rockboxed their ipod is dumb
[05:09] <bozdog> no worries thanks
[05:10] <evildaemon> It's a nano dude, old thing.
[05:10] <Da|Mummy> i have rockbox on my sansa e280
[05:10] <evildaemon> I stopped after I got it to boot all the way until it got to the Ipodlinux2 binary, at which point..........oh wait, that wasn't rockbox.
[05:10] <jmcantrell> anyone know how to change the resolution during boot?
[05:10] <bozdog> next step may be to do a complete reinstall of operating system
[05:11] <Gnea> Da|Mummy: no need for that attitude
[05:11] <xerocint> I am stuck with this... http://i.imgur.com/uVGbu.png
[05:11] <xerocint> those posts didn't help much
[05:11] <MakaH> Here is the paste for it http://paste.ubuntu.com/611676/
[05:11] <Gnea> I enjoy rockbox as much as the next person, but not everyone needs to use it
[05:11] <xerocint> I
[05:11] <Da|Mummy> they need to try it though
[05:11] <xerocint> I'm using an iPhone
[05:12] <xerocint> it doesn't use rockbox iirc.
[05:12] <Gnea> Da|Mummy: they don't need it to be shoved down their throats.
[05:12] <evildaemon> I never tried rockbox, but couldn't get ipodlinux to work.
[05:12] <Da|Mummy> no because apple has nothing to do with shoving stuff down peoples throats
[05:12] <bullgard4> !enter | xerocint
[05:13] <Gnea> Da|Mummy: let's take this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:13] <MakaH> And so when i try to remove bnetd, i get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/611677/
[05:13] <lamo> I'm stuck in gnome classic no effects. Ubuntu 11.04 64bit with nvidia 9800GT running latest proprietary driver. Would love to use shell but when I load it with --replace it crashes after a few seconds complaining about applications.menu being blank and network manager being out of date along with a bunch of JS errors. (by the way I knew this would break unity). Anyone else with similar setup getting it working?
[05:13] <Da|Mummy> anyway, back to ubuntu, how do i get to my wine program files folder from natty, this unity thing isnt working out for me at all
[05:13] <MakaH> i cant reinstall it, i cant uninstall it.. dont know how to fix this
[05:14] <nomulous> Can anyone tell me what the difference is between /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.plist?
[05:14] <emap> Da|Mummy: Nautilus /home then navigate to the wine folder? if i got what you want to do
[05:14] <mrdeb> unity is good
[05:14] <Gnea> Da|Mummy: just because apple does it doesn't give you the right to do it
[05:14] <emap> nomulous: you re not supposed to have a plist on ubuntu as far as i know
[05:14] <Da|Mummy> i dont see .wine in home?
[05:14] <Gnea> Da|Mummy: ~/.wine/
[05:14] <sagarchalise> Hi people I get destination host unreachable when i ping to my router/gateway(<IP_ADDRESS>) with my pc(<IP_ADDRESS>). Can anyone help?
[05:14] <xKyp3> press CTRL + H
[05:15] <nomulous> emap: I didn't think so either, but there it is. I'm using 9.10.
[05:15] <emap> Da|Mummy: once you done it you may aswell go on view and (show hidden files) if you want to do it from nautilus
[05:15] <Guest94223> has anybody been able to fix the wifi connect problem for the updated ubuntu
[05:15] <Nintet> hey uh... when i open nautilus in fluxbox, the fluxbox menus go away and become the nautilus right click only
[05:15] <emap> nomulous: whats written in it?
[05:15] <Trfsrfr> Can get dual monitors to work briefly, but goes back to mirror when screensaver activates...help.
[05:15] <nomulous> Both files look exactly the same.
[05:15] <emap> nomulous: the plist is safe to remove then
[05:15] <MakaH> plz someone help? I need to know how to fix this dpkg  / bnetd error. I want to remove bnetd but it wont let me and I cant install anything else till this is fixed. Here are the pastes http://paste.ubuntu.com/611676/  when trying to install something else and when i try to remove bnetd http://paste.ubuntu.com/611677/
[05:16] <nomulous> emap: Alright, if you're wrong I'm suing you though. :D
[05:16] <emap> nomulous: lol
[05:16] <Nisstyre> lolyes
[05:16] <Trfsrfr> can get dual monitors to work through ATI Catalyst, but goes back to mirror screen when screensaver activates...help!
[05:16] <Trfsrfr> ddddd
[05:17] <Trfsrfr> ???
[05:17] <juan_> how do i restart the top panel on ubuntu 11.04? it dissapear again
[05:17] <emap> nomulous: you re not supposed to ever have plist in any other os thats not an apple's one as far as i know, hence it's safe to remove, if it causes you problems or you think it may ever do you may aswell back it up, but i never seen it and im using ubuntu since 6.06
[05:17] <Trfsrfr> this is making me nuts. I'll try again tomorrow.
[05:17] <Trfsrfr> night all.
[05:18] <nomulous> emap: Thanks for your help! It's very, very much appreciated.
[05:18] <emap> nomulous: glad it helped
[05:18] <Nintet> ok, how do you shut down a wm and start up unity?
[05:19] <nomulous> A bit off-topic, but does anybody here know how many bad blocks are normal for, say, a 1TB external hard drive?
[05:19] <Nintet> nomulous, 0 ?
[05:19] <Da|Mummy> emap, can i make it so only the .wine folder isnt hidden, while the others in /home stay hidden?
[05:19] <MakaH> can someone plz help me get this failed installation of bnetd off my computer? i'm using 10.04 and paste of error when i try to remove it is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/611677/  , how do i reinstall it? i dont see an option for that
[05:19] <nomulous> Yeah, so if I have any at all that means my drive is faulty that means?
[05:20] <emap> Da|Mummy: dont take it as a reliable workaround but perhaps removing the dot would do it, try it and see if it works
[05:20] <Da|Mummy> this sounds like something that would cause more problems then solutions...
[05:20] <emap> Da|Mummy: the risk is that it remakes a wine directory with the dot (in this case just remove the dotted one and readd the dot to the undotted one)
[05:20]  * nomulous sounding like an idiot
[05:20] <grisk> nomulous: i have 1500 on one of my drives :P
[05:21] <juan_> top panel keeps crashing on ubuntu 11.04 after making any change to the system, can anyone help?
[05:21] <nomulous> So what does it mean though? Should I get it replaced? It's under warranty.
[05:21] <mrdeb> juan_: update system
[05:21] <realgod> test
[05:21] <emap> Da|Mummy: one reliable one would be making a link
[05:22] <juan_> mrdeb: i have plenty of time, still does the same thing. i know there is a command but i forgot it and can't find it. do you know what it is?
[05:22] <grisk> nomulous: you can't until it's reached the S.M.A.R.T. treshold value
[05:22] <emap> Da|Mummy: right click and go on make a link, then move it wherever you like
[05:22] <mrdeb> juan_: did you disable bluetooth, update manager, and ubuntu one
[05:22] <nomulous> S.M.A.R.T  checks aren't supported for external drives on my machine though, so how do I know?
[05:22] <waterloo2005> How to repair mbr of ubuntu1104 ? I can not find /boot/grub/stage2 in ubuntu 1104 . thx
[05:22] <juan_> mrdeb: no, why would that affect it?
[05:23] <mrdeb> juan_: fewer things to crash
[05:24] <juan_> mrdeb. ok thanks man
[05:24] <grisk> nomulous: manufacturer?
[05:24] <Toph2> I have no audio in 11.04. In running System testing, i get : 'cat: /proc/asound/cards: No such file or directory'.  Is mu sound card not being detected?
[05:24] <Jordan_U> !grub2 | waterloo2005
[05:24] <grisk> nomulous: who made the drive? seagate? wd?
[05:25] <nomulous> grisk: WD.
[05:26] <waterloo2005> ubottu: thanks a lot
[05:26] <Nintet> WD is legacy bad
[05:26] <nomulous> Legacy bad?
[05:26] <Gryllida> I'm trying to install a printer. The "new printer" window asks what port I want to use. I plugged it inoto a USB port. I see the following options:LPT, Serial port #1, Enter device URI. Which one do I use?
[05:26] <Nintet> there are WD disks inside servers that never fail. if you bought one in the mail from a supply store you are sure to get one that catches on fire
[05:26] <evildaemon> Yo, I actually have a problem now, My printer says I'm low on ink, even though it works fine on my other devices.
[05:26] <bullgard4> nomulous: I have got 84 bad sectors. I believe this number is above the average and needs my attention.
[05:27] <nomulous> Is there a difference between sectors and blocks?
[05:27] <grisk> nomulous: well, they ought to have some kind of disk tool that you can run, like seatools for seagate
[05:27] <banished> Hi, I just got my filesystem remounted read-only, my dmesg log looks like this http://pastebin.com/kPPNQetF - what is happening there?
[05:28] <nomulous> Maybe. I guess I'll look for something like that that's WD-specific.
[05:28] <Nintet> how do i log out of a window manager and log in with a different one?
[05:28] <Nintet> i have an error in fluxbox that displays the right click from nautilus instead of the menu
[05:28] <Nintet> annoying
[05:30] <bullgard4> [Natty] When booting Grub 2 allows to select »recovery mode«. A recovery menu appears. Didn't old Ubuntu releases there show a menu item »netroot« with the description "Drop to root shell prompt with networking"? Where has it gone in Natty?
[05:31] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: Last I checked it was still there.
[05:31] <juan_> top panel disappear in ubuntu 11.04, anyone know the command to restore it?
[05:31] <Nintet> what is the command to configure how users log in with 11.04?
[05:31] <bullgard4> Jordan_U: In Natty?
[05:31] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: Yes.
[05:32] <bullgard4> Jordan_U: Ok. Thank you for your information.
[05:33] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: You're welcome.
[05:34] <_Ray_> There's a package with unmeetable dependencies. Is there a way for me to manually edit the package's contents to make it un-stupid?
[05:34] <TuffPoo> hey on the themes how u make the close,restore window, minimize icons at the top from left sode to right side?
[05:34] <_Ray_> (The package in question is http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/haskell-platform . It requires my ghc version to be both strictly smaller than 6.12.1, and greater than or equal to 6.12.1. Smart. :|)
[05:34] <emap> TuffPoo: some have it left some have it right
[05:35] <frobisher> !buttons
[05:35] <bullgard4> _Ray_: I am afraid that you knowledge is not sufficient to do that manually. Pleas use Synaptic to repair unmet dependencies.
[05:35] <bullgard4> s/you/your/
[05:36] <_Ray_> bullgard4, this is ubuntu-server, I've no GUI :(
[05:36] <hidn_shadows> Does anyone know of a single GUI version of cron? I've looked in the repos, but nothing comes up
[05:36] <bullgard4> _Ray_: Try sudo apt-get.
[05:37] <_Ray_> bullgard4, " haskell-platform : Depends: ghc6 (< 6.12.1+) but 6.12.3-1ubuntu7 is to be installed. E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)."

[05:37] <dr0id> best way to move a file from server to my computer ?
[05:38] <hidn_shadows> jmcantrell, emap, thanks I'll look at these. Thanks a bunch! good night
[05:38] <[thor]> drpuritan: you are using the Login Screen app ( gdm-manager )?
[05:38] <emap> hidn_shadows: welcome, good night
[05:38] <_Ray_> dr0id, it's a server - let it serve you the file :) (Think sftp, for instance.)
[05:38] <dr0id> I was thinking scp, heh
[05:39] <_Ray_> If you have a SSH server on the host, sure!
[05:39] <dr0id> ok, just wanted to know whether it's one of the best way or not, thanks
[05:39] <tsimpson> dr0id: what you use depends on what services the server has
[05:39] <dr0id> and nice to see you here :D
[05:39] <drpuritan> thor:yes
[05:39] <dr0id> I only have shell access, tsimpson
[05:39] <dr0id> and I want to download a file because I can't read it with cat filename
[05:39] <tsimpson> dr0id: probably scp then
[05:39] <[thor]> drpuritan: i mean.. gdmsetup... there is also a gdm2setup available on www.launchpad.net
[05:39] <dr0id> ok, thanks!
[05:40] <drpuritan> gdm-manager shows it unchecked
[05:40] <[thor]> drpuritan: i think somewhere recently, gdm2 was implemented
[05:40] <escott> dr0id, there is always less
[05:41] <[thor]> drpuritan: personally, i just use the ubuntu-tweak interface for changing my gdm settings
[05:41] <drpuritan> where do I find it
[05:41] <dr0id> escott: yes, but each sentence is quite long (spanning 2-3 lines) , so I guess I need to read it in gedit :)
[05:41] <escott> TuffPoo, it is buried in gconf metacity config
[05:42] <[thor]> drpuritan: www.ubuntu-tweak.com
[05:42] <tsimpson> dr0id: or just maximize the terminal window :)
[05:42] <drpuritan> thor:thanks; will give it a try

[05:44] <MakaH> nvm, it's just not possible to get help in here, there are too many people
[05:45] <[thor]> MakaH: just ask your question
[05:45] <MakaH> I have many times

[05:46] <MakaH> I tried using synaptec package manager to reinstall that deosnt work, neither does remove or complete removal
[05:47] <[thor]> MakaH: did you try --force?
[05:47] <pishguy> how to use bash script for plymouth ?
[05:47] <drpuritan> thor:worked like a charm...thank you
[05:47] <MakaH> yes.. i dont have that error in paste but i can get that for you if you need it

[05:49] <escott> pishguy, not sure that makes sense. can you be more specific
[05:49] <Shiggitay|MythTV> pishguy, I'd advise you don't spam your question
[05:49] <Skywind> hi, all
[05:49] <Shiggitay|MythTV> sup Skywind
[05:49] <MakaH> ooh oops :S forgot to paste that , my apologies, i thought it was all on one line

[05:50] <Foogrc> hello all
[05:50] <Foogrc> I am looking for some help
[05:51] <MakaH> so you see my predicament, it's a vicious circle
[05:51] <Foogrc> I am sharing a VM between my ubuntu machine and a windows machine
[05:51] <neoinr> Does ubuntu put network connections (specifically wifi) to sleep after a period of time?
[05:52] <Foogrc> I am getting what appears to be  a permissions issue
[05:52] <tsimpson> neoinr: no
[05:52] <emap> neoinr: not that im aware of
[05:52] <neoinr> Hmm
[05:52] <Foogrc> any one using vm between ubuntu and windows?
[05:52] <emap> ops was answered, pardon
[05:52] <tsimpson> MakaH: how have you tried to (re)install the .deb?
[05:52] <Skywind> My custom saw this warning "console-kit-daemon[1547]: WARNING: no sender#012" in /var/log/message, and he ask me why, I dont know...     Does anyone know why the warning have?
[05:52] <emap> Foogrc: what manager?
[05:52] <bullgard4> !enter | Foogrc
[05:53] <neoinr> Any reason why I can login to my laptop at home, attempt to ping my ubuntu desktop's IP, get destination host unreachable, go to desktop, it shows as connected, I can ping laptop.   Sorry for the enter abuse.  I am using workstation with my ubuntu.  It works on my ubuntu machine
[05:54] <emap> Foogrc: whats the manager? Vmware virtualbox what?
[05:54] <Foogrc> VM ware player and workstation
[05:54] <MakaH> will whoever just PM'd me do so again, it somehow got lost and i dont know who it was
[05:54] <Skywind> emap,  sry, "Customer"
[05:54] <neoinr> Also I'm getting very unreliable hostname results. I attempt to connect to hostname, I get hostname not found. I attempt again, it works.
[05:54] <emap> emap: is his/her pc working fine?
[05:54] <emap> Foogrc: whats the permission problem?
[05:55] <chai16> hi thanks guys for being helpful in the past, but now i have another problem of course. i have a blackberry but my memory card won't show up in ubuntu 11.04 when i connect through usb. i've selected 'mass storage mode' in my bb but still no luck. can someone help me see the files on my blackberry's micro sd card?
[05:55] <Foogrc> When starting up the VM in windows host, I get an error that is similar to file not found or unable to access.
[05:56] <neoinr> http://pastebin.com/EVUbckyy
[05:56] <Skywind> emap: There are no other problem in use, but he was troubled by this "WARNING".
[05:56] <neoinr> that, anyone able to explain it?
[05:56] <emap> Foogrc: i dont really remember how it works with vmware but did you get it to realize there is actually a vm?
[05:56] <Foogrc> I do not have the windows machine in front of me currently, sorry or I would run the VM and get exact message
[05:56] <neoinr> SSHing to the hostname does not work until after I've pinged the hostname
[05:56] <bullgard4> I obtain: "xinit: giving up; xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused; waiting for X server  to shut down ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log. xinit: unexpected signal 2; xauth: error in locking authority file /home/detlef/.Xauthority." Why does the file authority file have to be _locked_?
[05:57] <emap> Skywind: it may be nothing, i suggest you link to him/her this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=556272 post #5
[05:57] <Foogrc> The host shows that there is a valid VM, but booting the VM causes the errors, like it cannot open for editing the VMDK
[05:57] <neoinr> Anyone able to explain why I cannot SSH to my desktop's hostname until after I have pinged it? http://pastebin.com/EVUbckyy
[05:58] <emap> Foogrc: rather odd, it shouldnt be a permission problem however, since you're supposed to be using 2 different environments thus invalidating each permissions (ntfs one wont work on ext afaik)
[05:59] <Skywind> emap:  yes, just a warning, some people like to care about the details. thx for the url.
[05:59] <Foogrc> I am copying the VM from my ubuntu host to the windows host.  I have also tried to copy the VM to a Macbook
[05:59] <bullgard4> Foogrc: What do you mean by "SSH to my desktop's hostname"?
[05:59] <emap> Foogrc: are you using vm workstation 7 or higher?
[05:59] <emap> Skywind: welcome
[05:59] <neoinr> bullgard4: was that addressed to me? Look at the pastebin
[06:00] <mouche> neoinr: are you using IPv6?
[06:00] <neoinr> mouche: Not to my knowledge, but I haven't explicitly disabled it
[06:00] <Foogrc> emap:  I am using workstation 7.1.3
[06:01] <neoinr> mouche: IPV6 is disabled
[06:01] <emap> Foogrc: are there any snapshots?
[06:01] <mouche> neoinr: nevermind. the ping wouldn't help with IPv6 because your ping is resolving an IPv4 address
[06:01] <Foogrc> emap: No snapshots.  Not a feature I am interested in using
[06:02] <bullgard4> neoinr: Yes, it was meant to be addressed to you. -What do you mean by "robinserv.local"?
[06:03] <neoinr> bullgard4: That is the hostname of the computer
[06:03] <Foogrc> emap:  I am relatively new to ubuntu and like it very much, just not very fluent at this time
[06:04] <emap> Foogrc: are you sure you copied all the files? also what was the previous host?
[06:04] <bullgard4> neoinr: This is a strange name of a computer. Probably the suffix ".local" is the culprit.
[06:04] <AndroUser2> Foogrc:I am liking Natty
[06:04] <neoinr> bullgard4: Its hostname is robinserv, its FQDN is robinserv.local
[06:04] <neoinr> I require to use its FQDN to connect to it
[06:05] <Foogrc> emap:  originally started VM on windows host, but have been using ubuntu for about 8 months
[06:05] <emap> Foogrc: so you want to use it on linux right?
[06:05] <Foogrc> AndroUser2:  I am worried that my VM workstation might not work
[06:05] <AndroUser2> Hardware recognition is tops
[06:06] <Foogrc> emap:  I am using it on ubuntu, I want to use the VM on windows host as well.  My coworker needs the VM as well
[06:06] <emap> Foogrc: but the problem is starting it using ubuntu right?
[06:07] <mouche> neoinr: hm, my ssh connection is refused as well when I use the FQDN according to /etc/hosts; I just use the hostname
[06:07] <AndroUser2> What success with wine?
[06:07] <neoinr> mouche: If i attempt to ping, ssh, or otherwise connect to RobinServ, it fails
[06:07] <Foogrc> emap:  no the problem is the windows host.  ubuntu works just fine.  I was hoping that there was something simple I was overlooking when copying large files from ubuntu to windows
[06:08] <neoinr> mouche: I can ping robinserv.local, and ssh into it, at times. I also have problems with basic connectivity. Pinging <IP_ADDRESS> from <IP_ADDRESS> was giving me DESTINATION_HOST_UNREACHABLE until I pinged <IP_ADDRESS> from 192.1681.137, then it started working
[06:08] <Foogrc> I am also very interested in Wireshark, but that will have to be another night
[06:09] <fredhami> I am using ubuntu 10.4 and I looked up the bluetoothsetup guide but it saids "This document applies to Ubuntu 8.10 (Hardy Heron) and earlier versions  of Ubuntu that come with Bluez3.  Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) and  later versions come with Bluez4, which is completely different.  There  currently exists no well-documented way to use Bluez4 to connect using  non-GUI tools."
[06:09] <mouche> neoinr: do you have a router acting as a DHCP/DNS server?
[06:09] <emap> Foogrc: re you sure you copied everything? (it may come handy checking files checksums)
[06:09] <neoinr> neoinr: Yes, my router is a DHCP server, however I have the IP statically assigned
[06:09] <chai16> is it possible to put gnome3 on 11.04? is it worth the hassle? i just don't like unity
[06:10] <chai16> maybe i will like it in the future
[06:10] <mouche> neoinr: that sounds like a gateway problem
[06:10] <neoinr> mouche: I will look at my configuration then
[06:10] <Foogrc> emap:  I have never dealt with checksums before, is it relatively easy
[06:10] <neoinr> mouche: I think I found it
[06:10] <mouche> neoinr: check that the default gateway for <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:10] <bullgard4> neoinr: "robinserv.local" is no FQDN.
[06:10] <neoinr> Static host configuration within the DHCP
[06:10] <neoinr> had the ip assigned to robinserv.local
[06:11] <chai16> night
[06:11] <aju> Hai all,How can i play .dat formate files in ubuntu 10.04?
[06:11] <neoinr> thanks for the help, i found the problem
[06:11] <mouche> neoinr: great
[06:11] <emap> Foogrc: easiest way, go on your windows partition (or grab the files and put em in a usb stick if its not on same pc)  open the terminal type md5sum give 1 space then drag and drop the file in the terminal, do it again with your ubuntu vmware stuff if checksums are the same then copy process was successful
[06:11] <emap> Foogrc: if you actually have a specific error message that would give us further help
[06:11] <aju> anyone can help me?
[06:12] <mouche> aju: what do you mean by play? using a media player?
[06:12] <neoinr> last question, how can i flush my dns cache?

[06:13] <kinesis> any tip for ESS maestro sound not working in ubuntu especially googlechrome youtub vidos?
[06:13] <aju> [mouche] that file is a vedio file.I cant play that vedio using media player
[06:13] <emap> neoinr: this may do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart.
[06:13] <mouche> neoinr: restart networking
[06:13] <emap> Foogrc: ok
[06:14] <neoinr> oh true, thanks

[06:16] <liuyaowei> WHO ARE YOU
[06:16] <liuyaowei> e
[06:16] <kostodo> toastedmilk: scared it would just update without prompting
[06:16] <liuyaowei> where are you from?
[06:16] <toastedmilk> kostodo: scared of what?  just don't do the upgrade.
[06:16] <toastedmilk> kostodo: in linux, have you ever not been prompted for important things?  ever?
[06:16] <emap> kostodo: it does prompt, asks you to say yes or no
[06:16] <rww> liuyaowei: #ubuntu is the technical support channel for Ubuntu Linux. Try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat.
