[16:08] <bastidrazor> genClone: you may want to get better advice in #ubuntu+1 for 11.10
[16:08] <ardithoxha> or something with sound
[16:08] <BarkingFish> Yes
[16:08] <ardithoxha> barkingfish
[16:08] <BarkingFish> You have to check that the sound card is enabled in the BIOS
[16:08] <ardithoxha> do you have any contact
[16:09] <genClone> bastidrazor: thanks :)
[16:09] <BarkingFish> Do I have any contact with what, ardithoxha? :)
[16:09] <ardithoxha> msn,facebook?!
[16:10] <BarkingFish> ardithoxha, I do, but I'm sorry, I only give tech advice in here, not by external support.  I do provide that service, but it's chargable
[16:10] <BarkingFish> Here, you get it for free. Be happy :)
[16:10] <ardithoxha> are you here every day?
[16:10] <BarkingFish> yes
[16:11] <bastidrazor> genClone: you're welcome.
[16:11] <sileni> BarkingFish: that was funny
[16:12] <BarkingFish> sileni, Funny maybe, but true.  I do in home PC service, but I charge for it.  Usually about £20 an hour
[16:12] <BarkingFish> Here, you get the help for nothing.
[16:12] <sileni> BarkingFish: no ardithoxha is funny
[16:13] <ardithoxha> barkingfish
[16:13] <BarkingFish> yes, ardithoxha?
[16:13] <ardithoxha> I remined now, I think my sound card and anything with sound in bios are correct and right but its with alsa I think!
[16:13] <xdr4kex> hi, i'm just trying to make windows recovery cd copy onto a partition and make it bootable, does anyone know how to do this?
[16:13] <Aspekt> ky)
[16:14] <bastidrazor> xdr4kex: ask in ##windows
[16:14] <BarkingFish> ardithoxha, I have to pass you on to the rest of the channel then, if your sound card is enabled, then it's a problem somewhere in your install. I wonder why it doesn't find your card.
[16:14] <xdr4kex> im trying to do this in ubuntu
[16:14] <xdr4kex> thats why im asking in ubuntu xD
[16:15] <ardithoxha> yea, problem its somewhere in install! I think at alsa :S
[16:15] <BarkingFish> could you just open a terminal for me, ardithoxha - and type  lspci | grep sound
[16:15] <ardithoxha> yea
[16:15] <Aspekt> hello
[16:15] <BarkingFish> i just want to see if your PC is finding your sound card, and simply not using it.
[16:16] <ardithoxha> omg, doesnt make anything :(
[16:16] <ardithoxha> :|
[16:16] <BarkingFish> ok, try the same command and replace sound with audio please
[16:16] <ardithoxha> nope :|
[16:17] <xdr4kex> anyone know how to copy a cd onto a partition and make it bootable?
[16:17] <BarkingFish> one more thing then, ardithoxha - do you know if your sound card is one that is plugged into a slot on your motherboard, or if it's built in to the board please?
[16:17] <dr_willis> xdr4kex:  depending on whats on the cd. You can use grub2 to boot ISO files.
[16:17] <ardithoxha> dont know :(
[16:17] <dr_willis> xdr4kex:  that maybe the easiest way.
[16:17] <ardithoxha> maybe on the board
[16:18] <xdr4kex> @Dr_willis really? that would be amazing i'll google it now
[16:18] <ardithoxha> barkingfish do you have teamviewer , if you dont install it and come to my pc
[16:18] <dr_willis> xdr4kex:  a cool feature of grub2.
[16:18] <ardithoxha> please
[16:18] <dr_willis> night all
[16:19] <BarkingFish> ardithoxha, there is an easy way to find out.  Look at the back of your PC where the sockets are - do your sound sockets appear with all the other sockets for mouse, keyboard and so on, or do they appear further down the back of the machine in a rectangle shaped slot?
[16:19] <ardithoxha> wait a minute barkingfish
[16:19] <BarkingFish> Unfortunately I can't do remote assistance, I'm on wifi with an unstable connection, and I can just about manage to run xchat without killing my wifi :)
[16:20] <BarkingFish> I wouldn't do remote assistance over a Public Wifi network anyway.
[16:20] <gigenieks> hello, I need help - how can I empty trash? It has kinda "locked" files from my USB flash which I deleted a few days ago, and now I can't anything to copy to that usb it gives me error about no free space. What should I do?
[16:21] <BarkingFish> gigenieks, unmount the usb flash, and run fsck on it to check the drive for errors
[16:22] <BarkingFish> sounds like something's gone wrong during the delete and it's corrupted the stick
[16:22] <lgstudio> freebox
[16:22] <amithkk> hi @rolandixor?
[16:23] <BarkingFish> lgstudio, Hi. Is there something we can help you with?
[16:23] <gigenieks> How can I unmount it and run that "fsck"? Can u give step-by-step solution what should I type in terminal?
[16:23] <BarkingFish> gigenieks, do you know what drive letter the flash drive is assigned to?
[16:24] <BarkingFish> If so, you just type sudo umount /dev/<whatever the drive is>  to unmount it
[16:24] <rolandixor> hi amithkk
[16:25] <gigenieks> I just pressed right mouse on it > eject volume
[16:25] <gigenieks> It seems unmounted.
[16:25] <BarkingFish> then, gigenieks - you would type fsck.vfat /dev/<whatever the drive is>
[16:26] <gigenieks> I don't know which drive it is under dev folder
[16:26] <gigenieks> there is many files
[16:26] <Arrnas> my wireless card stops working every time i reboot, theres an error in syslog that says : "/sys/devices/virtual/net/vmnet1: couldn't determine device driver; ignoring..." and i can't find a linux driver for my wireless card, any ideas?
[16:27] <BarkingFish> hm.  Unplug the drive, gigenieks - then plug it back in.  When you do this, type dmesg | tail  and it should show you a new usb device, and it should tell you the drive assignment
[16:28] <gigenieks> BarkingFish: sec will do that
[16:28] <BarkingFish> it'll probably look something like this in your dmesg, gigenieks

[16:31] <BarkingFish> ardithoxha, I'll be with you in a moment :)
[16:31] <ardithoxha> ok
[16:31] <BarkingFish> gigenieks, if you look, the disk is assigned to /dev/sdb

[16:35] <ardithoxha> wait
[16:35] <dan-mytt> any ideas barking fish
[16:35] <BarkingFish> It doesn't look like your card is there,  did you see the back of the machine, ardithoxha - where are your sound sockets?
[16:35] <ardithoxha> http://paste.ubuntu.com/701795/
[16:36] <BarkingFish> dan-mytt, I'm pretty busy at the moment, maybe someone else could assist you :)

[16:37] <BarkingFish> ardithoxha, - I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass you on...  I don't know anything about your sound card or its drivers, I think they're proprietary...
[16:37] <jkeats> i'm having trouble adding swap to fstab
[16:37] <jkeats> swapon is saying no such file or directory
[16:37] <ardithoxha> what this means ?
[16:37] <BarkingFish> anyone who can help ardithoxha - please check the paste they posted, sound card is listed here: 80:01.0 Audio device: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definition Audio Controller) (rev 10)
[16:37] <jkeats> /dev/sdg is a swap volume
[16:38] <BarkingFish> ardithoxha, I don't think they're drivers that are ones we include with the basic setup for ubuntu.
[16:38] <jkeats> /dev/sdg                                        swap            swap    defaults        0       0
[16:38] <BarkingFish> I've got to go for a moment, those I'm helping, I'll be back in a few minutes
[16:38] <w30> Arran, try saving the fstab to a home directory then sudo cat home/fstab > /etc/fstab
[16:38] <ardithoxha> hey, yesterday
[16:38] <jkeats> swapon: /dev/sdg: Invalid argument
[16:38] <ardithoxha> my sound worked
[16:38] <gigenieks> Barkingfish: i get some useful info i think here is output from terminal CHECK this ---> http://paste.ubuntu.com/701796/ <----
[16:38] <ardithoxha> but something work with ALSA
[16:39] <bastidrazor> jkeats: you need a number following sdg.. for example sdg1
[16:39] <auronandace> jkeats: you have a whole disk devoted to swap?
[16:39] <BarkingFish> one moment all, i'll be back shortly -
[16:39] <jkeats> yeah i do, a whole disk
[16:39] <bastidrazor> Kjekken: it still has to have a partition number.
[16:39] <jkeats> it's a slice off a cloud
[16:39] <auronandace> jkeats: that is a collosal waste
[16:40] <jkeats> oh get off it, i just carved off 16gb of disk for swap from the cloud
[16:40] <gigenieks> BarkingFish: ok :)
[16:40] <jkeats> the machine doesn't even "exist"
[16:40] <jkeats> so by your test, the whole thing is a waste. all its disks are slices off disks that are slices off other disks
[16:41] <jkeats> i'd just like to know why swapon doesn't like that argument in fstab
[16:41] <bastidrazor> jkeats: /dev/sdg needs a partition number.
[16:41] <jkeats> it doesn't.
[16:42] <ardithoxha> can someone
[16:42] <ardithoxha> help me with my sound card?
[16:42] <ardithoxha> and sound problems?!
[16:42] <w30> Arran, next time cp fstab fstab.orig then you can just cat fstab.orig > fstab. Lots easier than editing with vi or nano
[16:42] <bastidrazor> jkeats: so you haven't formatted the disk as swap? if not it won't work.
[16:42] <KM0201> !sound > ardithoxha
[16:42] <bastidrazor> !wap > jkeats : read this, it'll explain a few things
[16:42] <dan-mytt> can anyone help i have a laptop keyboard problem!! the keyboard works fine in the bios!! But doesn't not work in grub or the login screen. this fault suddenly happened with out me doing anything.
[16:42] <bastidrazor> !swap | jkeats
[16:42] <jkeats> i have formatted all of /dev/sdg as swap. the entire disk.
[16:43] <jkeats> in unix, everything is a file.
[16:43] <jkeats> i could have a 3gb file on disk, and swapon that file, and it wouldn't have to have a "partition" for it to work.
[16:43] <bastidrazor> jkeats: because a swap file is NOT a swap partition.
[16:43] <jkeats> i know how swap works, thank you very much. i've been using unix for twenty years.
[16:44] <saulotoledo> Hello! I'm with gnome 3.2. I cant disable my touchpad in my netbook, synclient TouchpadOff=0 command do not works, somebody know why?
[16:44] <jkeats> i'm trying to figure out what the syntax error is.
[16:44] <ardithoxha> ubottu
[16:44] <ardithoxha> here is my pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/701795/
[16:44] <bastidrazor> jkeats: i already told you. you need a number following /sdg
[16:44] <clvx> Anyone who can help?, Banshee has no sound and the progress bar moves really fast when I play a song. Also, no sound in youtube or watching videos on totem.
 Thanks a lot. Weill be back
[16:45] <clvx> but, I have sound if I change sessions.
[16:45] <bastidrazor> jkeats: sudo fdisk -l   whats the /dev/sdg listed as
[16:45] <jkeats> Disk /dev/sdg: 2147 MB,<PHONE_NUMBER> bytes
[16:46] <bastidrazor> jkeats: then the disk is not partitioned.
[16:47] <jkeats> but it doesn't need to be partitioned to use swap. what does swap care about parititioning? it is just paging memory out to it.
[16:47] <ardithoxha> !sound
[16:47] <jkeats> any more than a file needs to be partitioned when swap writes to it. disks are files.
[16:47] <ardithoxha> !mp3
[16:47] <cutiyar> i have created DSL connection and worked great , but after restarting now when i connect to the DSL it ask me DSL authentication but the box shows nothing . u can see the box here http://postimage.org/image/1h49cjryc/
[16:48] <bastidrazor> jkeats: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#How_do_I_add_more_swap.3F  ..read that. it clearly states you need to partition the drive as a swap partition.
[16:49] <jkeats> that's hokey. you know, this worked on natty yesterday.
[16:49] <jkeats> it's not working on lts, hence why i'm here.
[16:49] <dan-mytt> can anyone help i have a laptop keyboard problem!! the keyboard works fine in the bios!! But doesn't not work in grub or the login screen. this fault suddenly happened with out me doing anything.
[16:50] <DesertFoxNight> How do I reset the network settings for Ubuntu Server? I have tried to configured the network settings of the server, but with no avail.
[16:50] <dan-mytt> can anyone help i have a laptop keyboard problem!! the keyboard works fine in the bios!! But doesn't not work in grub or the login screen. this fault suddenly happened with out me doing anything.
[16:51] <grendal-prime> DesertFoxNight, get rid of network manager do it all in the /etc/network/interfaces file
[16:51] <grendal-prime> if you are using the graphical interface get use to the idea that ...that will be a sucky way to run a server.
[16:52] <dan-mytt> can anyone help i have a laptop keyboard problem!! the keyboard works fine in the bios!! But doesn't not work in grub or the login screen. this fault suddenly happened with out me doing anything.
[16:52] <grendal-prime> speaking of crap and interfaces...this box im looking at has a ....gnome window effect that drives me nuts.  Everytime i get a dialog box, if i move my pointer off of it..it faids off.
[16:52] <theadmin> grendal-prime: That doesn't sound normal
[16:52] <grendal-prime> i cant see it and then when i move my moust back over it it reappears...what the hell is that and how do i disable it?
[16:53] <grendal-prime> it is a multi screen display..
[16:53] <grendal-prime> hmmm
[16:53] <grendal-prime> some setting in compize i think
[16:54] <sipior> jkeats: sorry, i missed something. what's the exact error that gets reported when you try "sudo swapon /dev/sdg"?
[16:55] <jkeats> ok bastidrazor i did as you asked and partitioned it and it still complains
[16:55] <jkeats> swapon: /dev/sdg2: Invalid argument
[16:55] <dan-mytt> can anyone help i have a laptop keyboard problem!! the keyboard works fine in the bios!! But doesn't not work in grub or the login screen. this fault suddenly happened with out me doing anything.
[16:55] <sipior> jkeats: get anything more if you supply the -v switch?
[16:55] <jkeats> that's why i say swapon -a or swapon /dev/sdg2
[16:55] <theadmin> sdG? How many hard drives do you have!?
[16:55] <bastidrazor> jkeats: /dev/sdg2 none swap sw 0 0
[16:55] <jkeats> nothing more useful
[16:56] <jkeats> bastidrazor: still the same
[16:56] <sipior> jkeats: this isn't a physical disk?
[16:57] <jkeats> it's a physical disk as much as the machine knows it is
[16:57] <jkeats> it's a machine in the amazon cloud
[16:57] <sipior> jkeats: how is the volume mounted in the machine?
[16:57] <jkeats> it's swap, it isn't mounted :p
[16:57] <sipior> jkeats: you know what i mean.
[16:58] <jkeats> well it's in /etc/fstab
[16:58] <jkeats> but before i put it in /etc/fstab i just said swapon /dev/sdg
[16:58] <jkeats> and then after all the complaining about it needing to be formatted, i said swapon /dev/sdg2
[16:58] <gigenieks> OK, seems like BarkingFish will not be here soon, who can help me fix my issue with USB flash and trash being with files from usb which I cannot delete??
[16:58] <sipior> jkeats: what network transport mechanism? "Swap over NFS may not work.", says the swapon man page.
[16:58] <jkeats> you clearly don't understand AWS
[16:59] <jkeats> the machine thinks it's physically connected.
[16:59] <jkeats> that's what "sd" means in the volume name
[16:59] <BarkingFish> I'm sorry, gigenieks - I was called away to the phone.
[16:59] <sipior> jkeats: i don't. that's why i'm asking.
[16:59] <jkeats> to the machine, these are scsi-attached disks.
[17:00] <gigenieks> BarkingFish: my last and useful output from terminal --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/701796/
[17:02] <BarkingFish> gigenieks, you gave the wrong command.
[17:02] <BarkingFish> you gave sudo fsck /dev/sdb - it should be sudo fsck.vfat /dev/sdb
[17:03] <gigenieks> I did that command too
[17:03] <gigenieks> sec will do that
[17:04] <BarkingFish> your drive is partitioned, so if /dev/sdb doesn't work, try /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2 separately

[17:05] <gigenieks> lol terminal is not responding
[17:05] <daavis> hey! i downloaded gnome shell. Now.. how to set it up so it's always on startup?
[17:06] <gigenieks> cant close or type command
[17:06] <BarkingFish> gigenieks, i don't know if this works in ubuntu, I know it does in kubuntu... Try Ctrl, Alt, Escape - usually that activates a kill window thing for your mouse
[17:07] <BarkingFish> Ours turns the cursor to a skull & crossbones
[17:07] <theadmin> BarkingFish: That's a KDE thing
[17:07] <theadmin> BarkingFish: Well, not xkill itself, just the shortcut
[17:08] <BarkingFish> theadmin, drat. Is there a gnome shortcut?
[17:08] <theadmin> BarkingFish: None I know of
[17:08] <BarkingFish> myxzptlk!
[17:08] <theadmin> BarkingFish: Alt+f2, "xkill", Enter?
[17:08] <BarkingFish> good point
[17:09] <BarkingFish> gigenieks, try what theadmin just posted
[17:09] <BarkingFish> you may be able to kill the hung terminal that way, and simply open a fresh one
[17:09] <sileni> BarkingFish: hey
[17:09] <sileni> BarkingFish: i would like your help
[17:09] <gigenieks> BarkingFish: http://paste.ubuntu.com/701821/
[17:10] <BarkingFish> gigenieks, that is plain weird.
[17:10] <sileni> BarkingFish: what would be the best way to timestamp the replies from ping?
[17:10] <BarkingFish> sileni, ping -t <location>
[17:11] <sileni> BarkingFish: doesn't work
[17:11] <sileni> BarkingFish: the -T is the option for timestamp but for some reaon when i do ping -T tsonly <location>
[17:11] <sileni> BarkingFish: it doesn't ping
[17:11] <sileni> BarkingFish: just sits there
[17:11] <BarkingFish> sileni, are you behind a firewall preventing incoming icmp?
[17:12] <sileni> BarkingFish: hmm shouldn't be, cause i can ping it normally with `ping <location>`
[17:12] <sileni> BarkingFish: and i can get the replies if i do that
[17:12] <gigenieks> Da** I need that USB to work properly so I can finishm my homework for tomorrow in university. Seems like this thing will use all my night...
[17:12] <BarkingFish> gigenieks, one sec.
[17:13] <gigenieks> Barkingfish: plz give ur suggestions in paste.ubuntu because I have to meet friend now and will be afk at least 1h - 1.5h
[17:13] <BarkingFish> Guys, bit of an urgent hand needed for gigenieks - we've unmounted his usb stick at /dev/sdb, gone to run fsck.vfat over it, and it's not opening the disk, stating there is no such volume.
[17:14] <fritsch> BarkingFish: what was the output of fdisk -l /dev/sdb ?
[17:14] <BarkingFish> gigenieks, it's not possible to help you when you're not here, since we'd need to get you to try stuff out as it's done
[17:14] <BarkingFish> gigenieks, before you go, can you just try what fritsch suggested please?
[17:14] <DesertFoxNight> grendal-prime, how do I remove network manager using the terminal?
[17:14] <BarkingFish> it will give us some ideas
[17:15] <theadmin> DesertFoxNight: apt-get remove networkmanager or somesuch
[17:15] <gigenieks> output: "Cannot open /dev/sdb"
[17:15] <BarkingFish> fritsch, if it helps, I saw the dmesg output from when he attached the usb disk, it's definitely sdb
[17:16] <fritsch> gigenieks: you look at the wrong device
[17:16] <fritsch> BarkingFish: did you have ssh access?
[17:16] <BarkingFish> fritsch, no
[17:16] <DesertFoxNight> When I type that command, I get "Unable to locate package networkmanager"
[17:17] <BarkingFish> he did the dmesg output after plugging the disk in, and this is what we saw fritsch - http://paste.ubuntu.com/701785/
[17:17] <fritsch> DesertFoxNight: it is network-manager
[17:17] <jkeats> ahem
[17:17] <jkeats> ubuntu@ip-10-204-5-232:/home/alex$ sudo swapon /dev/xvds
[17:17] <jkeats> ubuntu@ip-10-204-5-232:/home/alex$
[17:17] <Okidor78> bonjour
[17:17] <BarkingFish> fritsch, unless I've misinterpreted the dmesg, that shows sdb as being attached with 2 partitions, sdb1 and sdb2
[17:18] <BarkingFish> !fr | Okidor78
[17:18] <fritsch> BarkingFish: i think he unmounted the drive and plugged it off
[17:19] <gigenieks> OK I will be back in an hour or 2, I hope we will figure it out.
[17:19] <DesertFoxNight> Ok, now I get a message that reads: "Virtual packages like 'network-manager' can't be removed"
[17:19] <gigenieks> :(
[17:19] <one23> hey. does anyone know how i can issue commands throgh ssh that makes the host do something. like play a movie in vlc?
[17:19] <DesertFoxNight> Alsom I'm runnin Ubuntu Server on VirtualBox.
[17:19] <BarkingFish> fritsch - i told him only to unmount it, and then to run sudo fsck.vfat /dev/sdb to it
[17:19] <BarkingFish> I gave him no instruction to unplug it, only to umount
[17:19] <fritsch> BarkingFish: sdb is the raw device, this would not make sense
[17:19] <fritsch> BarkingFish: if there are partitions on it
[17:20] <fritsch> BarkingFish: we talk about gigenieks <- right?
[17:20] <BarkingFish> yeah, I changed it to sdb1 and sdb2 after reading the dmesh a second time
[17:20] <fritsch> gigenieks: please unplug your drive and replug it
[17:20] <BarkingFish> *dmesg
[17:20] <fritsch> gigenieks: paste the dmesg output to a pastebin
[17:20] <BarkingFish> he can't now, he's to go out.  We will try again later :)
[17:20] <fritsch> BarkingFish: oki
[17:21] <Reallycool> I've noticed that recently Compiz has been having trouble understanding how long a millisecond is. It seems as if instead of "milliseconds" it's going by number of frames
[17:21] <BarkingFish> gigenieks, we will speak again later, I have to leave also for a while.  I will come back in about 1.5 - 2.0 hours
[17:21] <BarkingFish> See you all later
[17:21] <The_BROS> How to change settings in thunderbird that reply massage would be on top of reply?
[17:22] <tabakhase> The_BROS "click on settings"?
[17:23] <The_BROS> tabakhase: and then?
[17:23] <Plugh> The_BROS: If you right click a tool bar area you should have an option that says "Customize...".
[17:24] <tabakhase> The_BROS shame on me... there is the "reply as inline or attachment", wired....
[17:25] <The_BROS> Plugh: No. I mean that my answer would be on the top of the massage
[17:25] <MonkeyDust> The_BROS: it's in Edit, Account settings, Comositing & addressing
[17:25] <Plugh> A lot of people don't like top posting of replies
[17:25] <ardithoxha> do anyone know to install ALSA?
[17:26] <selene> hola

[17:26] <The_BROS> MonkeyDust: Oh. I C. Thanx a lot
[17:28] <one23> how can i make X on my host computer do something from ssh? i want to tell my computer to play something in vlc from a remote computer. anyone?
[17:28] <theadmin> one23: Try cvlc first
[17:28] <theadmin> one23: If that doesn't work out for you, well, there is always ssh X forwarding, read up on that
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> One23: connect with: ssh -X user@host
[17:29] <BluesKaj> one23,  ssh-X user@remoteIP
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> One23: any music you play will come out of the server in any app
[17:29] <A_J> ActionParsnip: \o/ hai dude
[17:29] <BluesKaj> one23, correction ssh -X
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> A_j: yo yo yo
[17:30] <ardithoxha> do anyone know to install ALSA?
[17:30] <BluesKaj> yup ActionParsnip
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> One23: do you use an android phone
[17:30] <one23> theadmin: thanks for that. i want to play a video, so cvlc won't work for me. it displays ascii art, but will check out these other tips
[17:31] <Plugh> ardithoxha: Are you trying to install it or are you asking for help configuring it?
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> ardithoxha: look at the official sound troubleshooting procedure doc, it has a big command to do it
[17:31] <one23> ActionParsnip: yes, that is the goal eventually. but right now i am just on another computer
[17:32] <BluesKaj> one23, I've heard of ppl streaming from the remote to local with vlc, over ssh
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> One23: dude install vlc remote on your phone and enable the http interface. You will need to edit you .hosts file to allow you networks subnet. You can then control it using your phone
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> One23: works amazingly
[17:33] <one23> wow. sounds cool. will check that ouy
[17:35] <dan-mytt> can anyone help i have a laptop keyboard problem!! the keyboard works fine in the bios!! But doesn't not work in grub or the login screen. this fault suddenly happened with out me doing anything.
[17:35] <theadmin> dan-mytt: Do you have an option for "Legacy USB support" in BIOS? Try toggling that.
[17:35] <one23> ActionParsnip: this is kind of what i wanted to program myself. haha
[17:36] <AndChat|> Damn blackspots. This is actionParsnip
[17:36] <fabrizio_> ciao
[17:37] <lucidguy> Need advice purchasing new power supply.  AMD Atholon dual core system with 4GB ram, 5 sata hard drives, PCIe Video Nvidia, DVDburner....  Will a 500W system be enough.
[17:37] <andyvy> 5 sata HDs?
[17:37] <andyvy> which AMD?
[17:37] <AndChat|> One23: http://maketecheasier.com/remote-control-vlc-with-android-phone/2010/08/06
[17:38] <AndChat|> lucidguy: ask in ##hardware this is ubuntu su
[17:38] <AndChat|> Support
[17:38] <AndChat|> One23: if you ru
[17:40] <AndChat|> One23: run:  sudo find / | grep vlc | grep host     you'll see the file to edit. By default the only allowed computer to access the web ui is localhost
[17:40] <Plugh> lucidguy: There are lots of different nVidia cards out there. The specs for the one you want will state what the minimum specs are for the power supply. Check the specs on the SATA drives to make sure the power supply you are thinking of getting can supply the currents required for the 5 drives and video card.
[17:41] <mattalexx> Is there a screenshot tool or active keyboard command that will allow me to select a rectangle?
[17:41] <theadmin> mattalexx: Quite a few, I beleive the standard GNOME screenshooter does that
[17:41] <mattalexx> theadmin, Is that tool being used in Ubuntu Natty?
[17:41] <mattalexx> Because I can't seem to find the right keyboard shortcut.
[17:42] <one23> AndChat|: thanks. i think i got this.
[17:42] <AndChat|> mattalexx: install imagemagick   then in a terminal run:  sleep 10; import ~/output.jpg     the sleep 10 gives 10 seconds to arrange the screen
[17:42] <theadmin> mattalexx: I have no idea, in GNOME it used to be called when you hit Printscreen
[17:42] <AndChat|> mattalexx: its how i do it
[17:44] <mattalexx> AndChat|, At what time can I define the area to crop to?
[17:44] <mattalexx> ... other than using post-processing
[17:44] <w30> lucidguy, depends on price and your wallet. You can always keep your power supply and put it in your next machine (swap). A larger one keeps obsolescence  away until form factor changes
[17:44] <fabrizio_> 1
[17:44] <AndChat|> Afaik, printscrn does the whole shebang, there may be shift or alt you can press to change how it acts but I've always used imagemagick
[17:45] <AndChat|> mattalexx: the cursor will change and you can draw your rectangle
[17:45] <glitchd> hey im having a problem when booting ubuntu 10.04
[17:46] <lucidguy> The main reason why I'm replacing is because the system seems to randomly restart lately...  I'm guessing its powersupply.
[17:46] <andyvy> glitchd: details?
[17:46] <glitchd> there seems to be a longer than normal boot post and it takes around 2-5 mins to fully boot
[17:46] <AndChat|> lucidguy: have you tested the ram?
[17:47] <glitchd> andyvy, i should also add, that yesterday i somehow or another removed my graphics driver, so i had to go thru about a 3-4 hr process to figure out how to get it back, and that would include installing vesa drivers to use while i got the right vid driver
[17:47] <BenB> I just got a new computer (AMD A8-3850 with GPU on CPU) and would like to continue to use 10.04 LTS. how do I use a new graphics driver (kernel, xorg, mesa) in 10.04?
[17:48] <AndChat|> glitchd: when you get booted, run: dmesg | less      and look for big gaps in time on the left. Use cursors to scroll and q to exit
[17:48] <fabrizio_> 2
[17:48] <glitchd> AndChat|, ill run it right now since i just booted and ill reply the response, ill probably have to use pastebin tho
[17:48] <AndChat|> Benb:could try the xorg edgers update ppa
[17:48] <BenB> AndChat|: url?
[17:49] <AndChat|> Benb: just websearch dude. My web is slow and you'll find it easily before my page loads
[17:49] <AndChat|> Be
[17:50] <glitchd> AndChat|, is there a way to get it to save it to a file? only because it wont let me scroll all the output
[17:50] <deadpool> hey yesterday i updated my eclipse but it somehow messed it up , is there a way I can uninstall those updates from late last night?
[17:50] <AndChat|> Benb: instead of relying purely on people to feed you Urls, you will be more autonomous and learn if you search using direction given
[17:51] <AndChat|> Benb: it frees people up to help others
[17:51] <oCean> AndChat|: don't just suggest to 'websearch' or 'google' in our channels
[17:51] <grendal-prime> soory got sidtracked with reall world stuff... you know like outside   (where the pizzaman lives)
[17:51] <AndChat|> Ocean: i have told him exactly what is needed. It will be easily found
[17:52] <oCean> AndChat|: but it's not welcome here. Don't do it again please
[17:52] <grendal-prime> anyway who wanted to know how to remove network-manager.
[17:52] <Dovid> what does this error mean? root@vms2:/etc# /etc/init.d/sendmail start
[17:52] <Dovid> .: 14: Can't open /etc/init.d/functions
[17:53] <compdoc> is there a file /etc/init.d/functions ?
[17:53] <hirantha> y
[17:53] <grendal-prime> ocean
[17:53] <jrib> Dovid: this is probably unrelated but you should use the « service » command instead of calling that script directly
[17:53] <grendal-prime> sorry...
[17:53] <grendal-prime> not ocean... AndChat|
[17:53] <grendal-prime> http://lmgtfy.com/
[17:53] <glitchd> is there anyway to export the output of dmesg | less to a txt file of anykind or a file in general?
[17:53] <AndChat|> Ocean: fine but it will take a long time. If you give people some direction they can find out stuff better. If you just give links they will never learn, meaning more support is needed by volunteers
[17:54] <oCean> grendal-prime: that too, lmgtfy is not welcome here
[17:54] <theadmin> glitchd: dmesg | tail somefile
[17:54] <grendal-prime> good altrenative..dang...
[17:54] <oCean> AndChat|: let me explain it this way: don't do it again
[17:54] <grendal-prime> Ok i understand
[17:54] <theadmin> glitchd: Or, simply, "dmesg > somefile"
[17:54] <theadmin> Err not tail... What was it?
[17:54] <theadmin> tee, there
[17:54] <Dovid> jrib: I get the same error: .: 14: Can't open /etc/init.d/functions
[17:54] <AndChat|> Ocean: do you see my point though?
[17:54] <theadmin> glitchd: dmesg | tee somefile
[17:54] <jrib> Dovid: pastebin the script
[17:55] <AndChat|> Ocean: i see your point
[17:55] <ubuntu_> o co tu chodzi?
[17:55] <oCean> AndChat|: No, and not about to discuss channel rules here. You can use #ubuntu-ops if you want to
[17:55] <qin> !pl | ubuntu_
[17:55] <glitchd> theadmin, thank you
[17:55] <Dovid> jrib: http://pastebin.com/akfHxCvs
[17:56] <Dovid> hrib: ls: cannot access /etc/init.d/functions: No such file or directory
[17:56] <AndChat|> Ocean: its the whole teach a man to fish idea. I'll fetch the user a link
[17:57] <oiyeu> hi
[17:57] <sileni> hey guys
[17:57] <oiyeu> anyone there ?
[17:57] <sileni> is there anyway to just prepend the time to replies from ping
[17:57] <ikonia> ?
[17:57] <sileni> i want to get ping with timestamp but for some reason the pint -T <location> doesn't work
[17:57] <sileni> ping*
[17:58] <sileni> it transmits the packets but no reply is received... but ping <location> works fine
[17:58] <jrib> Dovid: does /etc/init.d/functions exist?
[17:58] <Dovid> jrib: See my last. no it does not
[17:58] <jrib> Dovid: find out what should provide that :)  (use apt-file)
[17:59] <ikonia> sileni: did you read any of the man page ?
[17:59] <ikonia> sileni: the man page clearly explains how to use -T
[17:59] <mattalexx> AndChat|, FYI, After some research, I installed ccsm, enabled the Screeshot feature in Compiz, and only then did the <Super>+drag work.
[18:00] <mattalexx> AndChat|, I do appreciate the help.
[18:00] <AndChat|> BenB: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
[18:00] <BenB> AndChat|: thanks, but I already got it when I said "yes, thanks"
[18:00] <misse_> Hi, I've got a 10.04.3 LTS server which hags after "running script init-bottom: done". I've booted it with init=/bin/bash, I've upgraded it with apt, purged nfs-common.. but it still hangs.. what more can I do? where can I look?
[18:01] <BenB> AndChat|: thanks anyway
[18:01] <AndChat|> Benb: sorry. Was using my slow browser to get the link. So didn't see you. Glad you found it using the direction i gave
[18:02] <AndChat|> mattalexx: cool. I don't use compiz so wasn't aware of the feature

[18:04] <__inport__> I have a server, running 10.10, and webmin fails to start at boot on it.
[18:04] <AndChat|> Ocean: ill nip into the ops channel later

[18:05] <__inport__> ah

[18:08] <__inport__> AndChat|, thanks
[18:08] <Paulus__> the first is that for some reason firefox will not load the email inbox of my university and opera does
[18:08] <AndChat|> __inport__: no worries
[18:08] <BenB> AndChat|: don't I need a new kernel, too, for the KMS, if I want support for the new GPU?
[18:08] <Paulus__> and firefox 7 is trying to install from an untrusted repository
[18:08] <BenB> AndChat|: where do I get this from?
[18:08] <Paulus__> so I am crying slightly
[18:09] <touchpad> Hello, I'm running 11.04 on a netbook (hp pavilion dm1). It has a touchpad with 2 buttons recognized as "SynPS/2Synaptics Touchpad" in the Parameters.I would like to use both buttons but they both act as a left button. Ideas?
[18:09] <GirlyGirl> Can anyone help me Wifi reception is less on Ubuntu than Windows Xp
[18:09] <AndChat|> Paulus__: does it work ok as another (new) user
[18:09] <touchpad> And other question: I have 11.04 on an usb key (created with usb-creator-gtk). I use it with a persistant data space. Are there ways to speedup the boot/shutdown process? And how canI get rid of the initial screen to select langage and chose to try xubuntu or install it? (I always select "french" and then "try without installing")
[18:09] <bastidrazor> Paulus__: firefox 7 isn't in 11.04, yet.
[18:09] <Paulus__> Let me check that AncChat :)
[18:09] <D_Russ> so is there any free softaware similar to camtasia?
[18:10] <auronandace> !info firefox
[18:10] <AndChat|> Benb: there is a kernel ppa but i would not advise using it as it is not supported here.
[18:10] <BenB> AndChat|: well, all I want is that my system continues to run with my new computer.
[18:10] <bastidrazor> it has been released. good deal.
[18:10] <BenB> AndChat|: at the moment, 10.04 doesn't work, I am in VESA mode.
[18:10] <BenB> AndChat|: please tell me the supported way to get new drivers.
[18:11] <AndChat|> touchpad: you may be able to use remastersys to modify the iso. You could instead install the OS to the USB and treat it like a regular drive
[18:12] <AndChat|> Benb: install a later release is all i can advise
[18:12] <airdem> hello, can you help me get a nvidia gtx 460 work an ubuntu 10.10
[18:12] <AndChat|> !nvidia | airdem
[18:12] <BenB> AndChat|: 10.04 *is* the latest LTS release. I want to use LTS, with a current computer. there must be some supported way to do that.

[18:13] <glitchd> BenB, i would think to just use update manager..?
[18:13] <AndChat|> Benb: not that i know of, maybe others can advise
[18:13] <auronandace> BenB: wait till 12.04

[18:14] <Dovid> jrib: I did not. was installed b4 i was managing the box
[18:14] <compdoc> TheLawnmowerMan, try 'audio' or 'Audio'
[18:14] <compdoc> keep it simple
[18:14] <Paulus__> so is it just best for me to create a new user? and Migrate some of my settings over?
[18:15] <SadlyMistaken> AndChat xfburn? do you think these will be the solution? xfburn is into the synaptic?
[18:15] <D_Russ> looking for a good (read free) screen recorder for ubuntu. any suggestions
[18:15] <TheLawnmowerMan> compdoc: no results with 'audio' or 'Audio'
[18:15] <SadlyMistaken> AndChat|: xfburn? do you think these will be the solution? xfburn is into the synaptic?
[18:15] <glitchd> BenB, thats where it would list if there was an update for anything, that or System->Admin->Hardware Drivers
[18:15] <jrib> Dovid: hmm, see if the sendmail package is installed
[18:16] <compdoc> TheLawnmowerMan, then its possible that its using the device name
[18:16] <oiyeu> i got list of command on a file with number for each command one number for example : 1.  ls -l 2. cat /etc/network/interface etc .... now what i want to do is from that file i want to call each number like this !1 for calling command 1 !2 for calling command 2 etc ....
[18:16] <compdoc> try lspci -v and look through it
[18:16] <oiyeu> what i have to do ? to make that one possible ?
[18:16] <tinfury> Waddup all?
[18:16] <BenB> glitchd: I am already up-to-date

If you rename ~/.mozilla  then rerun the browser, you will get the same result as your first user, you can copy you bookmarks (if you use them) from the old config but you will need to reinstate addons, themes and resave stored passwords. This is the only way I can think to solve it personally. Maybe others can advise a sleeker method. Maybe an addon you have is stopping the page and
[18:19] <BenB> glitchd: so, I just need new drivers for the new hardware, that's all. that must be possible with LTS, otherwise LTS is useless.
[18:19] <glitchd> yes, i believe you are correct
[18:19] <TheLawnmowerMan> compdoc: this is what I see http://paste.ubuntu.com/701853/
[18:19] <AndChat|> Should probably have broken that up. Apologies to all :-(
[18:19] <glitchd> did u get some new parts for the comp?
[18:20] <BenB> glitchd: it's an entirely new computer.
[18:20] <auronandace> BenB: lts is designed for stability, that can come with the price of newer hardware simply isn't supported
[18:20] <BenB> (almost=
[18:20] <BenB> auronandace: there is no stability if I cannot use it anymore.
[18:20] <glitchd> is ubuntu already installed on it?
[18:20] <BenB> glitchd: yes.
[18:20] <AndChat|> grendal-prime: do you mean app windows going monochrome?
[18:20] <glitchd> BenB, are there any updates registering?
[18:21] <BenB> glitchd: I am up-to-date
[18:21] <grendal-prime> i open something and move my mouse pointer off it..and it fades to transparrent...like 98%
[18:21] <BenB> (I just did apt-get dist-upgrade and reboot)
[18:21] <auronandace> BenB: anymore? so you've used 10.04 on it before?
[18:21] <glitchd> BenB, well if any new updates come out, they should pop up in the update manager
[18:21] <grendal-prime> kinda ...well i keep loosing my most recient opened app AndChat|..
[18:22] <BenB> auronandace: I have used 10.04 on the old computer, and I want to continue to use it. I just changed the hardware, and do *not* want to change the software.
[18:22] <grendal-prime> an it spans acros two monitors..alot of realistate when i plug the other two monitors in.
[18:22] <auronandace> BenB: what hardware have you changed exactly? (sorry if you've already said in channel)
[18:22] <BenB> auronandace: everything
[18:23] <AndChat|> Benb: there is the proposed repo if you want later stuff too. Not sure how supported the packages are in here (if at all)
[18:23] <Barco> Anyone have experience with Rdp Connections to Virtualbox on Ubuntu?
[18:23] <TheLawnmowerMan> Any other suggestions?  Ubuntu sees my audio device but I still get no audio.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/701853/
[18:23] <grendal-prime> i have to scan across allot of ground to get the app to fade back in..or alt tab to it..wich works...dont get me wrong.  but it seems like it would be easyer to just not fade it off and then i could just see it..and..well click on it.
[18:24] <auronandace> BenB: i don't think you can just transfer 10.04 off the old pc to the new, you'd need to reinstall (especially since the hardware is different)
[18:25] <AndChat|> Barco: set the network interface to be bridged in the vbox config and it will get an ip from your router. You can then rdp to that ip and it will connect
[18:25] <grendal-prime> Girly-Girl!! finally you are here!!  are you the girly-girl i married...? or the girly-grirl i didnt marry?
[18:25] <oCean> grendal-prime: wrong channel
[18:25] <Pici> grendal-prime: Try to stay on-topic, k?
[18:25] <BenB> auronandace: normally that works just fine. a reinstall doesn't change anything. the problem is that the drivers in 10.04 are too *old* to support the new chips. so, there must be updates for new hardware, to continue to use LTS.
[18:26] <grendal-prime> GirlyGirl, what do you know about windows that fade out after you move your mouse off of them?
[18:26] <BenB> auronandace: even if it's optional. but just telling an LTS user to install 11.10 beta is not great.
[18:26] <grendal-prime> :-)
[18:26] <soreau> grendal-prime: Probably compiz trail focus plugin
[18:26] <GirlyGirl> grendal-prime: ???
[18:26] <soreau> grendal-prime: Or opacify
[18:27] <grendal-prime> tried changing the opacify didtn make any diff
[18:27] <jstoone> Hi everyone, I'm struggling to get sound though my labtop speakers. INFO: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=344083674d8cb9b42233a511d289f5f37a738364 - The headphone jack works perfectly, but the builtin speakers doesn't, any suggestions?
[18:27] <glebihan> BenB, no normally transferring a system for one computer to another does *not* work
[18:27] <auronandace> BenB: i never suggested that, but the fact is that 10.04 uses an older kernel which doesn't have support for your hardware (you want support then you'll need a newer kernel)
[18:27] <grendal-prime> glebihan, speak for yourself...ive had a ton of luck with that
[18:27] <glebihan> grendal-prime, well you were just lucky then
[18:28] <terje> hello all, how do I get into grub on an ubuntu system? It keeps doing a splash screen and I can't boot into the grub menu
[18:28] <soreau> terje: hold shift
[18:28] <grendal-prime> not across architecturers that is..but..
[18:28] <terje> ah, thanks.
[18:29] <TheLawnmowerMan> How do people use Ubuntu without sound?  I don't get it
[18:29] <jstoone> terje: happy rebooting ;)
[18:29] <cordoval> I am trying to get output in my ubuntu ~/.bashrc of this function but not in the case where the result is an error or is not a .git folder
[18:29] <BenB> auronandace: yes, I understand that. I just want a supported way to get the new drivers, even if that means that I install linux 3.1 (which I'd be happy about for my SSD and trim support, too) and a new xorg. I just don't want my whole software landscape (including gnome3 and stuff) changed.
[18:29] <cordoval>     $(git log --oneline -n 3 2>/dev/null)
[18:29] <jstoone> TheLawnmowerMan: What do you mean?
[18:29] <cordoval> how do I do it?
[18:30] <AndChat|> TheLawnmowerMan: my torrent/samba/fileserver runs ubuntu without sound...
[18:30] <BenB> auronandace: I'm fine with adding a new repo for updates, as long as it's sure to work, not "may or may not work".
[18:30] <glebihan> BenB, are you telling us that you absolutely want to stick to LTS and are using gnome3 on it ??? I don't get it...
[18:30] <auronandace> BenB: a new kernel and a new xorg is not a trivial thing to change, that is why it isn't offered under lts
[18:31] <auronandace> glebihan: no, he doesn't want to change to gnome 3
[18:31] <BenB> glebihan: no, I don't want gnome3 and want to stick to gnome2, and that's one of the reasons I want to keep LTS.
[18:31] <devan> how can I choose where I mount my iphone? gtkpod requires it be mounted to /media/ipod...
[18:31] <TheLawnmowerMan> jstoone: I've installed Ubuntu but I can't get any audio to work.  I see my audio card in Sound and I can find it in terminal (paste.ubuntu.com/701853/) but it's not working.
[18:31] <devan> that, or how can I figure out where it is mounted?
[18:31] <BenB> auronandace: fine. I don't care. just make the *current* LTS release work with *currently* sold computers.
[18:31] <glebihan> BenB, oh ok I misread you sorry
[18:32] <BenB> auronandace: I don't think that's too much to ask.
[18:32] <soreau> devan: You can remount it manually, create a symlink or possibly mess with udev settings
[18:32] <jstoone> TheLawnmowerMan: Does the headphone jack work?
[18:32] <glebihan> BenB, just so you know, natty doesn't come with gnome3
[18:32] <glitchd> how do i check in synaptic to see which kernels are installed?
[18:32] <TheLawnmowerMan> jstoone: No
[18:32] <auronandace> BenB: take a look at the release date of 10.04 and then tell me when you purchased the pc which you are trying to install it on
[18:32] <D_Russ> any good screen recording software?
[18:33] <jstoone> TheLawnmowerMan: Is it a newly installed box?
[18:33] <TheLawnmowerMan> Yes
[18:33] <BenB> auronandace: the release date is irrelevant. it's the current LTS, so it must get updates for current hardware.
[18:33] <compilerwriter> blueskaj, Jucato are you here somewhere?
[18:33] <BenB> auronandace: (and I think 10.04.4 was released after amd fusion)
[18:34] <jstoone> TheLawnmowerMan: Have you looked in the "Additional Drivers"? So see if your card is there and needs to be activated?
[18:34] <BenB> I don't want to argue. I just want my PC to work.
[18:34] <TheLawnmowerMan> jstoone: I'd show you a screenshot of my sound settings but it's just showing a digital mess.
[18:34] <auronandace> BenB: i can't help you
[18:34] <TheLawnmowerMan> jstoone: and I can't see my mouse pointer...I just see some weird pixels
[18:34] <glebihan> BenB, then make a fresh install
[18:34] <grendal-prime> glebihan, i dont get it...i mean..seriously for base functionality?  yank a drive out of an i386 machine..put it into another one..same arch.  Why would that pose any huge problem?
[18:34] <BenB> glebihan: thanks, but I don't think natty supports the AMD A8-3850, does it?
[18:35] <TheLawnmowerMan> jstoone: looking at 'additional drivers'
[18:35] <BenB> glebihan: does a fresh install of 10.04 fix it?
[18:35] <jstoone> TheLawnmowerMan: What kind of computer are we talking about here? toaster?
[18:35] <auronandace> BenB: the bottom line is that you simply need a recent kernel that supports your hardware
[18:35] <glebihan> BenB, because hardware is not the same
[18:35] <BenB> auronandace: fine. where do I get it?
[18:35] <TheLawnmowerMan> jstoone: microwave
[18:35] <jstoone> TheLawnmowerMan: Nice! +1
[18:35] <glebihan> grendal-prime, ^^
[18:35] <auronandace> BenB: you can't under 10.04
[18:35] <grendal-prime> if its diff arch then ya that will not work..but 686 has changed that much?
[18:35] <jstoone> TheLawnmowerMan: Can you activate anything?
[18:35] <BenB> auronandace: ah, there's the problem.
[18:36] <MonkeyDust> BenB: a fresh install usually is more efficient than repairing errors
[18:36] <auronandace> BenB: exactly, that is what i've been trying to tell you
[18:36] <TheLawnmowerMan> jstoone: It's saying that No proprietary drivers are in use on this system.
[18:36] <glebihan> grendal-prime, I didn't it would never work, just that it's a bad idea and is likely not to work. Now if it works for you, I'm fine with it
[18:36] <BenB> auronandace: no backports, no supported new kernel, and I am left in the cold. ubuntu clearly didn't think here. they expect me to use the same hardware for 5 years. that's unrealistic.
[18:36] <joseph_> could anyone fill me in as to what change I need to make so that all directories are visible in my /home/usrname directory?
[18:37] <jstoone> TheLawnmowerMan: So there are no devices/drives on the list?
[18:37] <grendal-prime> got it.
[18:37] <qin> joseph_: Ctrl-h
[18:37] <jstoone> TheLawnmowerMan: drivers/devices*
[18:37] <MonkeyDust> joseph_: type ctrl-h
[18:37] <joseph_> ty both
[18:37] <auronandace> BenB: complian to canonical then, or file bug reports
[18:37] <TheLawnmowerMan> jstoone: yeah I just wanted to use this box for xbmc but that got no audio as well
[18:37] <qin> joseph_: or: ls -a
[18:37] <grendal-prime> sorry didnt mean to badger i was just curious what sort of errors you got  ..fooding time.
[18:37] <BenB> MonkeyDust: don't suggest a reinstall, if you're not sure that it fixes the problem.
[18:37] <glebihan> grendal-prime, I actually never tried
[18:38] <TheLawnmowerMan> jstoone: nothing is in the list for additional drivers
[18:38] <user_cron> .
[18:38] <MonkeyDust> BenB: everything else seems to fail
[18:38] <jstoone> TheLawnmowerMan: oooh, yea you could struggle a bit if it displays some weird pixels, no mouse, and no sound at all.
[18:38] <jstoone> hmm.
[18:39] <TheLawnmowerMan> jstoone: The weird pixels just started today.  It was working fine last night.  I'm going to reboot right now and see if that clears up.  BRB
[18:39] <jstoone> TheLawnmowerMan: kk
[18:39] <glebihan> BenB, you can never be certain that anything will fix a problem. A reinstall is likely to solve your issues
[18:39] <MonkeyDust> BenB: if you backup first, a reinstall is no great issue
[18:40] <BenB> glebihan, MonkeyDust: guys, if 10.04 (stock) doesn't *contain* the drivers for my hardware, a reinstall is not going to fix it.
[18:40] <compilerwriter> BluesKaj are you active here?
[18:41] <MonkeyDust> BenB: what hardware is that?
[18:41] <BenB> MonkeyDust: read up
[18:42] <BluesKaj> compilerwriter, was just aboutnto leave for an hr
[18:42] <MonkeyDust> BenB: repeating it  is faster and easier
[18:42] <compilerwriter> ok BluesKaj
[18:42] <BenB> MonkeyDust: no, I am trying to tell you that you shouldn't give wrong advice to people.
[18:42] <BluesKaj> compilerwriter, bbl
[18:42] <Atamisk> how would i go about installing ubuntu onto an empty drive from a running ubuntu session?
[18:43] <MonkeyDust> BenB: wrong advice?
[18:43] <BenB> MonkeyDust: yes. suggesting a re-install (which costs about 1h), although it will not fix the problem. if you had  listened above, you would know that a reinstall cannot help.
[18:44] <MonkeyDust> BenB: just came in, I wasn't at my desk
[18:44] <compilerwriter> Why am I seeing everything, save part and joins, twice?
[18:44] <MonkeyDust> BenB: so just repeat the initian question by pressing the up-key
[18:45] <BenB> MonkeyDust: just scroll up, or if you're too lazy for that, don't say anything.
[18:45] <BenB> MonkeyDust: I dom
[18:45] <auronandace> MonkeyDust: BenB wasn't aware that 10.04 doesn't support the hardware he has, after he copied over his 10.04 install from an older pc (not realising that he shouldn't do that)
[18:45] <MonkeyDust> BenB: please stay polite, we're all volunteers trying to help
[18:46] <BenB> auronandace: I am aware that it may not. I was assuming that canonical cannot be so brain-dead to ignore currently sold hardware on the LTS release.
[18:46] <BenB> auronandace: I was assuming that there *must* be a way to update drivers. under windows, I just pop in the CS.
[18:46] <BenB> CD
[18:47] <BenB> (and Windows XP is supported for 12 years, BTW)
[18:47] <MonkeyDust> BenB: Canonical is not brain-dead because you want to do something that is impossible
[18:47] <BenB> MonkeyDust: it is possible. I just want linux 3.1 compiled and tested for 10.04.
[18:47] <glebihan> BenB, well... you won't have that
[18:48] <Atamisk> wait, why is compiling the 3.1 kernel in 10.04 impossible??
[18:48] <devan> Ok, I'm stumped. I'm trying to connect an iphone3g with iOS4.2.1, and it's not working, but it looks like it should... First thing I'm thinking to check is my version of libimobiledevice, make sure it's 1.0.4, anyone know how to check that?
[18:49] <zebastianortis> new FP project video is out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BilbX_HiuG0
[18:49] <glebihan> Atamisk, it is possible
[18:49] <ichat> does anyone know how to debug a wifi driver isue on  xubuntu 11.04  i tryied the bcm sta drivers  and  the   fw43 installer    i removed the  blacklisting for the  b43xx from the  blacklist.conf    but stil i cant get wifi loaded
[18:49] <auronandace> Atamisk: it isn't impossible, its just not supported
[18:49] <Atamisk> ahh
[18:49] <Atamisk> okay
[18:49] <Atamisk> carry on then
[18:50] <Atamisk> (was about to say, seeing as i'm running the RC7 of 3.1 and it works great :P)
[18:51] <jstoone> TheLawnmowerMan: You back?
[18:52] <Cephlin> Does anyone know why the audio is out of sync when I play video's on ubuntu 11.04? This only happens on my desktop with ubuntu not my laptop with ubuntu.
[18:52] <TheLawnmowerMan> jstoone: yeah, I removed my video card & put it back in.  That seemed to fix the weird graphic issues I was having.  Still no sound.  I've been working on the sound thing for a few days now
[18:53] <Atamisk> can i use virtualbox to install ubuntu on a real HDD?
[18:53] <BarkingFish> hi again guys, has there been any sign of gigenieks yet?
[18:53] <soreau> BarkingFish: Why not just ask your question?
[18:54] <TheLawnmowerMan> http://imgur.com/aCw2u this is what I see in sound preferences
[18:55] <Welshy_Rob> hi, im having trouble connecting to the internet, i have a built in network card and i've never had any problems with it, when i try connecting it just gives me an error "network disabled" the connection is clearly working okay as im using it at the moment, i have checked the settings of the connection and nothing has changed can anyone suggest what i can do?
[18:55] <oiyeu> Pici: it is very to asking my question there on Bash channel
[18:55] <oiyeu> so i ask my question there ?
[18:55] <oiyeu> i got list of command on a file with number for each command one number for example : 1.  ls -l 2. cat /etc/network/interface etc .... now what i want to do is from that file i want to call each number like this !1 for calling command 1 !2 for calling command 2 etc ....
[18:55] <soreau> Welshy_Rob: Can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file to pastebin.com?
[18:56] <BarkingFish> soreau, I did ask my question, did you not see it? :)
[18:56] <soreau> BarkingFish: nope
[18:56] <ichat> does anyone know how to debug a wifi driver isue on  xubuntu 11.04  i tryied the bcm STA drivers  and  the   fw43 installer    i removed the  blacklisting for the  b43xx from the  blacklist.conf    but stil i cant get wifi loaded - it doesn't give error but no wifi avail ..  wifi chip is a broadcom 4311
[18:56] <compilerwriter> I am trying ubuntu utilizing empathy and everyone's stuff is appearing twice what do I do to get rid of the echo?
[18:56] <Welshy_Rob> soreau:  yeah sure
[18:56] <TheLawnmowerMan> jstoone: and this is what I see in terminal paste.ubuntu.com/701853/ and this is what I see when I run lspci -v | grep "Audio device" http://imgur.com/0sJMa
[18:56] <BarkingFish> Myself and fritsch were helping gigenieks in here about an hour or so back, he went afk, and I was asking if anyone had seen him again.
[18:56] <BarkingFish> as in, has he come back since we last saw him.
[18:56] <oCean> oiyeu: yes, from the history. That should work by default
[18:56] <soreau> ! broadcom | ichat
[18:56] <TheLawnmowerMan> jstoone: so something is not making sense and I'm not sure how to put it all together
[18:57] <oiyeu> yes but read my question
[18:57] <IdleOne> BarkingFish: We don't keep track of every users away status. PM them and see if they are there.
[18:57] <soreau> indeed
[18:57] <oiyeu> i got a list of command instead of calling from history i want to calling it from my custom file where i got list of command
[18:57] <oiyeu> ocen
[18:58] <Welshy_Rob> soreau: http://pastebin.com/0Hh3rkmE
[18:58] <soreau> oiyeu: Put them in a script?
[18:58] <oCean> oiyeu: oh, you would have to script that, but still the !2 command would be interpreted from the shell, not from your script
[18:59] <oCean> oiyeu: since !2 command already exists (it is shell built-in) you have to override that. Anyway it would require some scripting, there's no easy way to do that
[18:59] <auronandace> oCean: could he set aliases?
[18:59] <sianhulo> how it's called unity 2d process?
[19:00] <oCean> oiyeu: if you're looking to create aliases as auronandace suggests, you can add those in your ~/.bashrc file
[19:00] <soreau> Welshy_Rob: Does 'ifconfig' show eth0 or eth1? (or both?)
[19:00] <Welshy_Rob> soreau: eth1
[19:01] <soreau> Welshy_Rob: Is NetworkManager running?
[19:01] <oiyeu> listen oCean
[19:01] <Welshy_Rob> soreau:  yeah
[19:01] <oiyeu> i got 3 pc where i have to run all command which is on the list
[19:02] <innovate> Hello, any1 now about some good bandwith monitoring tool that can be used to track bandwith usage of induvidual users on ubuntu ?
[19:02] <soreau> Welshy_Rob: So it was working and then it stopped working? (after you did what?)
[19:02] <oiyeu> give me a solution for this ?
[19:02] <Welshy_Rob> it tries to connect using auto eth1 but then it just says "network disabled"
[19:02] <soreau> oiyeu: Put them in a script
[19:02] <soreau> copy to all systems and run
[19:02] <oiyeu> i don't want to copy/paste each command one by one like fool
[19:02] <oiyeu> no
[19:02] <Welshy_Rob> soreau: it tries to connect using auto eth1 but then it just says "network disabled" and i havent done anything significant just logged on as usual and found it wasnt working :/
[19:02] <oCean> oiyeu: you can use bash scripting, which is just a sequence of commands
[19:02] <mgtsol> hi there. I have a 10.04 Server installation on a VPS and I'm trying to troubleshoot PPTP server proplems. Which log files do I need to look at? All in /var/log/? Sorry, bit rusty with Linux
[19:02] <oiyeu> i want to do in interactive mode
[19:03] <sianhulo> so, nobody know?
[19:03] <soreau> Welshy_Rob: What gives you that message?
[19:03] <oCean> oiyeu: ok, so you can script those commands in an interactive menu
[19:03] <oCean> oiyeu: hang on
[19:03] <oiyeu> ok

[19:15] <oiyeu> yes correct thanks a lot my friend oCean
[19:15] <oCean> oiyeu: haha, you're welcome!
[19:15] <oiyeu> thanks a lot
[19:16] <welshy_rob> soreau: will do, might take a sec because i have to swap computers
[19:16] <fabiH> hi peeps!  can you guys/girl help me with quickly?
[19:16] <soreau> w30: Try padsp app
[19:16] <larsdues1ng> fabiH: help with what?
[19:16] <fabiH> larsdues1ng: quickly
[19:17] <fabiH> from developer.ubuntu.com
[19:17] <w30> soreau, ok, thanks. I will check that out.
[19:17] <sianhulo> somebody knows the name of the process of ubuntu 2d?
[19:17] <larsdues1ng> fabiH: sorry, I could not help
[19:17] <fabiH> sianhulo: you mean unity 2d panel?
[19:17] <fabiH> oh, ok. thanks anyway
[19:18] <sianhulo> i dunno, i'm taking about the shell itself
[19:18] <sianhulo> after i isntalled gnome-shell, unity3d crahed, now it doesn't show the dash, so i wanna give a log, but if can't go to a shell, i cannot save the log...
[19:19] <fabiH> *facepalm*
[19:19] <auronandace> !gnome3 | sianhulo
[19:19] <grendal-prime> hey you know that cool info you get when you login to ubuntu server...tells you all the ip addresses and system state  is there a way to triger that without logggin out and back in again?
[19:19] <fabiH> it's known that gnome3 breaks that stuff
[19:20] <grendal-prime> sianhulo, you cant crrl+alt+f1 to terminal?
[19:20] <sianhulo> yeah, but i'm only asking for unity 2d
[19:20] <grendal-prime> oops that was supposed to be ctrl
[19:20] <sianhulo> yeah i can, i can see a log, but how to copy it...
[19:21] <grendal-prime> two where?
[19:21] <grendal-prime> scp logfile user@othermachine:/home/user/.
[19:21] <sianhulo> to somewhere, i don't bring a log people wont know what is my problem
[19:21] <Gentoo64> use wgetpaste or something like that
[19:21] <grendal-prime> scp to other machine on network...
[19:22] <grendal-prime> is the log written to a file?
[19:22] <grendal-prime> or only memory?
[19:22] <sianhulo> it's a log givven when i ty to run unity(3d)
[19:22] <sianhulo> it gives something about and geometrical problem and the monitor
[19:23] <UbuntuBoer> who gave me  the article of Shuttelworth to read for the command lines to install the new kernel 3??
[19:23] <welshy_rob_> soreau: these are the results http://pastebin.com/c2naXCBF
[19:23] <Gentoo64> UbuntuBoer, do you need it?
[19:23] <Gentoo64> or want it
[19:23] <UbuntuBoer> want
[19:23] <UbuntuBoer> please
[19:23] <Gentoo64> its basically the same
[19:23] <Gentoo64> as 2.6.39
[19:23] <physically_fit> i dont understand the hate unity receives
[19:24] <UbuntuBoer> can you paste for me.....stuck
[19:24] <tyhgu> physically_fit: me too
[19:24] <auronandace> UbuntuBoer: #ubuntu+1
[19:24] <physically_fit> tyhgu, ;)
[19:24] <Gentoo64> unity recieves hate because its slow and buggy
[19:24] <Gentoo64> whats to like
[19:24] <sianhulo> but well. grendal-prime, fabiH gave the name of unity 2d process so i can swithc back, therefore i ca copy the log
[19:25] <fabiH> for the panel, it's unity-2d-apnel i think
[19:25] <fabiH> *panel
[19:25] <sianhulo> yep, it worked
[19:25] <fmauro> I agree, maybe I'm just not flexible enough, but unity destroys my workflow completely
[19:25] <dondiba> hi
[19:25] <tyhgu> big step forward for me. i like to have more space on screen and unity easily gives you that
[19:26] <ScottyBoy> Hey guys, I just tried to boot Ubuntu for the first time, and got the following error. Does this mean my computer is too old?
[19:26] <ScottyBoy> 0.004506 [Hardware Error]: No human readable MCE decoding support on this CPU type.
[19:26] <ScottyBoy> 0.004560 [Hardware Error]: Run the message through 'mcelog --ascii' to decode.
[19:26] <sianhulo> no, wait, didn't work, the dash isn't there
[19:27] <soreau> welshy_rob_: Are you sure the network cable is pugged securely?
[19:27] <sianhulo> so i copied the log but cannot pastebin it cf
[19:28] <dondiba> hello i seek advice to install ubuntu on my dell vostro 3550 laptop
[19:28] <welshy_rob_> soreau:  yes, its plugged in okay, but this maybe a noobish thing to say but usually i get a orange and a green light appear, however since this problem has started ive only been getting a orange light very occasionally ??
[19:28] <eiriksvin> Hi all, does anyone know if theres a way to download internet radio songs, sort of like NetVideoHunter does with videos?
[19:28] <UbuntuBoer> Grenytoo64
[19:28] <jack_cvr> guys, many processes of udev daemon its a bug?
[19:28] <UbuntuBoer> is is just me in there
[19:28] <auronandace> sianhulo: if you've installed gnome3 then unity will be broken (you'd have to reinstall)
[19:28] <fmauro> dondiba: what do you need to know?
[19:28] <hanksP> How can I ssh from linux to android devices?
[19:29] <soreau> welshy_rob_: I believe the green light means it's plugged and orange means data is being transfered. If it's not connecting. there won't be much (if any) data transfering
[19:29] <soreau> transferring*
[19:30] <sianhulo> auronandace, i've oneiric, i wast jsut asking bout the name process, so i can  pastebin it into ubuntu+1
[19:30] <welshy_rob_> soreau: i see, so new network card then?
[19:30] <sianhulo> but since they weren't replying...
[19:30] <fmauro> hanksP: not really a ubuntu question, but, you'll need to run a ssh-server on the device, also this may not be possible over the cellular network
[19:30] <soreau> welshy_rob_: It's not typical for a network card to just stop working though it's not inconceivable either
[19:30] <auronandace> sianhulo: i see, try to keep 11.10 talk in #ubuntu+1
[19:31] <welshy_rob_> soreau: btw, i just tried running a command i found on ubuntu forums "sudo ifup eth1" and it came back by saying ifup couldnt read interfaces file "etc/network/interfaces"
[19:31] <soreau> welshy_rob_: If you have a live cd, try it and see if it works. If it does, the hardware is fine
[19:31] <dondiba> fmauro : i tried usual method usb bootable key, cd, and both worked on other computer but not mine, is it tatooed or what?
[19:31] <soreau> welshy_rob_: Well that could be a problem.. the file does exust, right?
[19:31] <soreau> exist*
[19:31] <sianhulo> auri was asking about unity2d, and it is in natty, so i did nothing faulty(i think)
[19:32] <welshy_rob_> soreau: apparently i can cd to it ?
[19:32] <soreau> welshy_rob_: Just try 'cat /etc/network/interfaces'
[19:32] <welshy_rob_> soreau: i would boot from a live cd but havent got a sata cable for my cd reader atm xD , will do
[19:33] <fmauro> dondiba: I highly doubt that, where exactly is the installation failing?
[19:33] <devan> PLEASE! SAVE ME! MY IPHONE SUCKS! WHWHWYYYY ME?E!?!?
[19:33] <eiriksvin> Does anyone know if theres a way to download internet radio songs, sort of like NetVideoHunter does with videos?
[19:33] <axisys> how do I find out what pkgs are not in repo?
[19:33] <deshymers> anyone here use the apple magic trackpad and have an issue with horizontal scrolling triggering a right click in certain applications?
[19:34] <welshy_rob_> soreau: it displayed the same as what was in the pastebin (auto eth1) etc
[19:34] <auronandace> axisys: search for them and if you don't find them, there is your answer
[19:34] <soreau> welshy_rob_: Try 'gksi gedit /etc/network/interfaces' and comment out the line eth1 inet DCHP by putting a # at the beginning of the line
[19:34] <dondiba> fmauro : with cd, live session is ok, but when installing it fail partitioning
[19:34] <soreau> welshy_rob_: not gksi, gksu
[19:34] <welshy_rob_> soreau: kk
[19:35] <cutiyar> i have created DSL connection and worked great , but after restarting now when i connect to the DSL it ask me DSL authentication but the box shows nothing . u can see the box here http://postimage.org/image/1h49cjryc/
[19:35] <Huffameg> hi. I have a problem that is probably easy to fix: i can't install a «winetricks»-update because it comes from a non-trusted source. how can i fix this?
[19:35] <axisys> auronandace: apt-cache search splunk
[19:35] <axisys> splunk - Splunk
[19:35] <fmauro> dondiba: okay, are you sure that your system disk is okay? is the laptop used? have you run a fschk and smartd ?
[19:35] <axisys> auronandace: it is not in repo
[19:35] <welshy_rob_> soreau: okay, done that and saved it
[19:35] <hathadar> After entering the pass phrase for my encrypted HDD, the boot process give the errors "Unable to find suitable address" and "mountall: mount /mnt/asdf terminated with status 2".  Running ubuntu 11.04 w/ unity
[19:35] <soreau> welshy_rob_: Now try sudo ifconfig eth0 up; sudo dhclient eth0
[19:36] <axisys> auronandace: let me rephrase my question..
[19:36] <dondiba> fmauro : the laptop is ok, running seven, it's new, the usb key install failed too,
[19:36] <eiriksvin> nevermind, I can do it right in NetVideoHunter :) Firefox addons can be sweet
[19:36] <axisys> auronandace: how do I find out which of my installed pkgs are not in repo
[19:36] <welshy_rob_> soreau: brb
[19:37] <compilerwriter> BluesKaj are you back yet?
[19:37] <soreau> welshy_rob_: gah, I mean not eth0 but eth1
[19:37] <cutiyar> DSL ask Athentication while connect,why? but the authentication box shown nothing , just ok and cancel
[19:38] <compilerwriter> Can anyone help me try to rescue a hard drive.  I am using a live cd on my computer to get to irc
[19:38] <fmauro> dondiba: so you can run win7 fine, but the install fails... hmmm. Are you using the guided partitioning to install it alongside of win7?
[19:39] <TheEvilPhoenix> compilerwriter:  define "rescue", since the drive could possibly have just failed
[19:39] <TheEvilPhoenix> and that's dependent on a bunch of factors
[19:39] <fmauro> compilerwriter: in case you need it: http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Ddrescue
[19:39] <dondiba> fmorau : yes, i did it ; the dell vostro 3550 seems to have this problem not linux install compliant
[19:39] <soreau> compilerwriter: What do you mean by rescue a hard drive?
[19:39] <compilerwriter> TheEvilPhoenix that is what I am needing to determine.  If I can rescue the date or not.
[19:40] <TheEvilPhoenix> compilerwriter:  kinda hard to determine from a livecd
[19:40] <TheEvilPhoenix> can you mount the drive?
[19:40] <compilerwriter> The machine had been shutdown and not used for several months.  Then there is a bootdisk error on bootup.
[19:40] <TheEvilPhoenix> what was the error?
[19:40] <compilerwriter> Evil I can't remember the terminal commands to even try to.
[19:41] <compilerwriter> I am sorry evil but I can't remember the exact wording of the error.  I will get pen and paper though and write it down if that will help you to help me.
[19:42] <fmauro> dondiba: have you tried the last post here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/13106  ?
[19:42] <eiriksvin> #firefox
[19:42] <eiriksvin> oops
[19:44] <compilerwriter> TheEvilPhoenix shall I try that?
[19:44] <TheEvilPhoenix> compilerwriter:  knowing what the error is does help
[19:44] <compilerwriter> Ok I will be back in a few minutes
[19:44] <TheEvilPhoenix> as well, knowing if you can mount the drive, which you *shoudl* be able to do without even using the console
[19:47] <dondiba> fmorau : i tried few forums, some says they have the same problem as me... ; by the way the usb dongle installed ubuntu flawlessly on my mother pc
[19:48] <fmauro> dondiba: it's fmauro (it doesn't highlight otherwise) and yes, you said that, .. look at post #5 on the page I just sent you. try that
[19:49] <hathadar> Ubuntu 11.04.  I am unable to boot to the login screen.  After I enter the pass key for my HDD the machine shows "unable to find address" and "mountall: unable to mount /mnt/asdf [1234] terminated with status 2".  Help please.
[19:49] <dondiba> fmauro: ok i go there, bye

[19:59] <sysadamin> ive heard some interesting stories about processor load and frying hardware when installed baremetal
[19:59] <EgyParadox> he didnt see it because he didnt join it yet
[19:59] <sysadamin> anyone else back this up?
[19:59] <dai> hello~
[20:00] <dai> Could someone explain me what do I do with a tgz file? I'm a windows newb
[20:01] <EgyParadox> hasnt*
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> dai: what is the name of the file and where is it stored?
[20:02] <dai> i'm looking to install this wireless driver called iwlwifi-4965-ucode-<IP_ADDRESS> stored on [Downloads] and I have no idea how to use it
[20:02] <dai> I've read the readme found within the folder but that leaves me even more clueless as to how to proceed
[20:02] <auronandace> dai: you shouldn't need that
[20:03] <dai> oh hi Auron! :D
[20:03] <tyhgu> looking for people who would like to make some programmers/graphics group.
[20:03] <akSeya> hey folks.. i need a hand with LibreOffice.. it's simple thing... i open a sheet from Google Docs directly in localc without saving it to the HD, it is open Read only and I can't change anything.. how do I enable changes to this sheet? i don't want to copy the whole document and past in a new one just to change line sizes and then delete the file...
[20:04] <dai> i think I need it if I want to crack my own wep :0
[20:04] <auronandace> dai: you should already have intel wifi drivers installed
[20:05] <dai> i do but I'm hitting a wall with injections lol
[20:05] <auronandace> dai: what are you trying to do?
[20:05] <excelsior> akSeya: save as a new document
[20:05] <dai> I managed to crack my own wep within an hour by waiting out but I wanna try doing it faster :p
[20:06] <dai> just break my router's wifi pass
[20:06] <fmauro> dai: This isn't really ontopic
[20:06] <akSeya> excelsior, i just want to change line size too have a better view of it's content, but I don't need to have it saved
[20:06] <auronandace> dai: why can't you use wpa (if it is your router)
[20:06] <akSeya> excelsior, if I Save As, i'll have to delete it later
[20:06] <dai> well he asked so i'm answering..
[20:07] <crypt> Recently did an offline update using the DVD image, now, since I can not run "sudo apt-get update" from the installed node.
[20:07] <crypt> my only source of internet is a proxied Windows-7 PC, how can I grap the update for my offline ubuntu.
[20:07] <excelsior> akSeya: pick your poison... you've gone to more trouble just to type here about it though...
[20:07] <dai> i use wpa, i just switched it back to wep to have fun cracking it :p..
[20:07] <cutiyar> i cant connect to DSL ? today was working.
[20:07] <akSeya> excelsior, yeah... but I need to do it very often
[20:07] <akSeya> excelsior, there should be a "Enable Changes" option somewhere
[20:08] <fmauro> dai: with such questions , also concerning the drivers microcode you can head over to #aircrack-ng
[20:08] <akSeya> :(
[20:08] <smacky> anyone in here?
[20:08] <smacky> i need helpz
[20:08] <dai> then can I ask how are tgz format used?
[20:08] <physically_fit> !es
[20:08] <ikonia> you need "help"
[20:08] <smacky> i have an epson stylus 420nx that i want to print wirelessly from ubuntu and ubuntu wont find the printer
[20:09] <dai> I'm really unfamiliar with the way linux installs things, it feels like a mac but less intuitive
[20:09] <fmauro> dai: sure, tgz is a compression, tar and gz, you can untar it like a regular archive through nautilus or in the command line tar xvf <filename>
[20:09] <auronandace> dai: tgz is an archive (think of it as an alternative to .zip)
[20:09] <cutiyar> i cant connect to DSL ? today was working.
[20:09] <crypt> no takers then
[20:10] <dai> by untar, do you mean extract the folder within the tgz ?
[20:10] <physically_fit> hey ikonia, hi
[20:10] <bsmith093> i have a text file full of urls, can i get firefox to batch load one to a tab?
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> dai: if yuo are cracking wep i suggest you ask in #backtrack-linux or ##networking
[20:10] <fmauro> dai: it doesn't have to be folders, but yes basically that is the gist of it
[20:10] <physically_fit> ikonia do you have a twitter account? i'll follow you
[20:11] <smacky> can anyone help me with this printer?
[20:11] <ikonia> physically_fit: that's nothing to do with this channel, I have no idea why you are trying to push me
[20:11] <dai> i'll give that a try Action, I still need some help getting my bearings with linux, only been trying it out for a day
[20:11] <auronandace> !tab | dai
[20:11] <xauth> smacky: could that printer be using ad-hoc networking instead of regular?
[20:11] <cutiyar> heyyyyy any one see my posts?
[20:12] <smacky> xauth no
[20:12] <dai> what's tab?
[20:12] <smacky> dai the tab key
[20:12] <dai> auronandace: OHHHH
[20:12] <xauth> smacky: so it's in your wlan?
[20:12] <smacky> xauth yes
[20:12] <dai> ubottu: smacky did it make your screen beep?
[20:12] <auronandace> dai: well done
[20:12] <smacky> dai it can
[20:12] <xauth> smacky: and you're using cups?
[20:12] <smacky> yes
[20:12] <dai> ubottu: Hell yeah! auronandace AWESOME smacky BEEP Lol :P
[20:13] <auronandace> dai: why are you talking to the bot?
[20:13] <DasEi> dai:ubott.. is the channel ro-baot, triggered by ! like:
[20:13] <DasEi> !brain
[20:13] <dai> auronandace: I'm an idiot >_>
[20:13] <smacky> xauth its showing in my router as being on the wlan, windows 7 is also having issues with it
[20:13] <xauth> smacky: in that case it's probably about finding the right drivers. That's a bit of black art to me. Try a few, and maybe one works.
[20:13] <smacky> both systems are using 64bit os's
[20:14] <smacky> got the drivers
[20:14] <excelsior> akSeya: query the openoffice forums or IRC room, it's not really germane to Ubuntu
[20:14] <xauth> smacky: Your os's bittiness shouldn't matter.
[20:14] <dai> auronandace: do you need to use the terminal for most tgz installations?
[20:14] <smacky> xauth i realize that, this is why im getting p.o'd about it
[20:14] <smacky> 3 days and no results
[20:14] <akSeya> excelsior, i'm there already ;)
[20:15] <DasEi> !compile | dai
[20:15] <auronandace> dai: you don't really install tgz, they are just archives, you can use graphical apps to extract them
[20:15] <gigenieks> OK, guys I have really emergency, I need to fix this asap, because I have to finish my homework for tomorrow or university. I, can't access my USB flash it is kinda empty, but when I try to copy some files it says "no free space" or something like that.. And I found out that there is 5 files which I deleted from that USB flash a few days ago and I can't delete them (or empty trash) because they are kinda locked (I just cant delete them from trash).
[20:15] <gigenieks> Help :/
[20:15]  * xauth thinks that whole cups thing is clear as mud.
[20:15] <smacky> yerp @ cpus
[20:15] <smacky> cups*
[20:15] <dai> DasEi: you sneaky.... I thought the bot was talking to me again..
[20:16] <DasEi> :)
[20:16] <DasEi> gigenieks: open a terminal ..
[20:16] <dai> auronandace: I'll go read up on compiling thx :3
[20:17] <xauth> smacky: ... out of ideas on this end then. Sorry.
[20:17] <DasEi> gigenieks: sudo mkdir /media/usb
[20:17] <auronandace> dai: compiling can get complicated, especially if you've only used linux for a day
[20:17] <smacky> xauth ubuntu should pwn this printer
[20:17] <dai> auronandace: Yeah..I have no idea what ubottu linked me is
[20:17] <auronandace> !software | dai
[20:17] <DasEi> gigenieks: sudo fdisk -l , which sdXX is it ?
[20:18] <crypt> gigenieks, try EnCase
[20:18] <dai> auronandace: aaahh! neat
[20:19] <DasEi> gigenieks: ?
[20:19] <gigenieks> it is /dev/sdb (1031MB) which is in 2 partions sdb1 and sdb2 (dunno why it show that)
[20:19] <gigenieks> Do you need all output in paste.ubuntu?
[20:19] <DasEi> no, fine
[20:19] <DasEi> gigenieks: sudo umount /dev/sdb1
[20:19] <physically_fit> hello frombehind
[20:20] <DasEi> gigenieks: sudo umount /dev/sdb2
[20:20] <DasEi> gigenieks: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb
[20:21] <Bridge|> is spawn/expect/send not supported on ubuntu for bash scripting or is there a newer/better method now?
[20:21] <gigenieks> done (btw on sudo umount /dev/sdb2 it showed "umount: /dev/sdb2: not mounted"
[20:21] <compilerwriter> TheEvilPhoenix: I finally made it back
[20:21] <gigenieks> what next, DasEi?
[20:21] <Eziori> hey guys, I'm not completely new to linux/ubuntu, i have been and out of it for quite some time. but now when i try installing ubuntu 10.04 or 11.04 all i'm left with during the installation is the task bar and the background picture. this wasn't the case back in the 9.x. any ideas on what it might be and on how to fix it?
[20:21] <ikonia> Bridge|: those are not valid bash arguments or operators
[20:22] <DasEi1> gigenieks: sry, was disconnected, cd /media/usb
[20:23] <Loshki> Bridge|: spawn/expect/send are 'expect' operators. 'Expect' is an app that can be run from bash.
[20:23] <compilerwriter> TheEvilPhoenix: my thing says "Disk Boot Failure insert system disk and then press enter"
[20:23] <DasEi1> gigenieks: ls, wanted files there ?
[20:23] <joejoe> hi i am using ubuntu 11.10 with gnome-shell and the gnome terminal does not respect default settings of "show menubar" option (the option is unchecked, but menubar is visible) see http://pcmlich.fit.vutbr.cz/tmp/gnome-terminal-menu.png

[20:25] <daenyth_> Hi
[20:25] <DasEi1> gigenieks: ?
[20:25] <daenyth_> Anyone here have experience with changing pulseaudio profiles via CLI? When I run 'pacmd set-card-profile' I get an error, and I don't know how to fix it. I get Failed to set card profile to 'analog-stereo'. (or 'hdmi-stereo')
[20:26] <daenyth_> As far as I can tell those are the default profile names
[20:26] <daenyth_> I can set profiles in pavucontrol, but can't get it to work with pacmd
[20:26] <daenyth_> anyone have an idea?
[20:26] <gigenieks> DasEi1: there is no files, my USB flash (which is 1gb) is empty, BUT I can't copy anything to it!! It says some error about "no free space" but when I go to trash there is some files (whic I deleted from USB some day ago) but I CANT empty that trash because those files are locked.
[20:26] <gigenieks> I can give exact error messages if needed?!
[20:26] <gigenieks> Do you understand my situation?
[20:27] <DasEi1> gigenieks: df -h
[20:27] <dondiba> fmorau: thank, seems to work this way, installation is ongoing!
[20:27] <DasEi1> gigenieks: you now want to delete these files and put other stuff on ?
[20:28] <gigenieks> And want to be able to put what I want to that USb flash
[20:28] <gigenieks> right now I can't
[20:28] <DasEi1> gigenieks: df -h (to check if it is sdb1 right and not sdb2
[20:28] <DasEi1> which size is shown ?
[20:29] <gigenieks> DasEi1: df -h output --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/701916/
[20:29] <gigenieks> it is right partiont as I see
[20:30] <DasEi1> gigenieks: yupp, and the current files can be deleted ?
[20:31] <zl0> morning all..Could you please advise me framework under c++ for neuro which can be integrated with DSEL
[20:32] <vsync> /join ##c++
[20:32] <gigenieks> In flash ther is none files, but in trash is (when I add USB), I need to delete those files from trash in order to get space in that USB.
[20:32] <gigenieks> Kinda weird I guess...
[20:33] <DasEi1> !trash
[20:33] <gigenieks> But important to get it done today
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> gigenieks: open the mount point and press CTRL+H and you can see all hidden folders
[20:34] <gigenieks> ActionParsnip: you mean /media/usb?
[20:34] <compilerwriter> TheEvilPhoenix: Are you at your keyboard?
[20:34] <dai> i wonder.....can you play dwarf fort on ubuntu?
[20:35] <DasEi1> gigenieks: cd .../.Trash-userid/ (the one of the usb), then sudo rm it (be sure to be in the right dir) or simply reformat with gparted if that's too risky for you
[20:35] <gigenieks> There is folder named ".Trash-1000" should I delete it??
[20:35] <DasEi1> gigenieks: yes
[20:36] <TheMatrix3000> I need assistance in getting an application to start once a user logs in
[20:36] <TheMatrix3000> where would I put the command to start the application
[20:37] <DasEi1> TheMatrix3000: /etc/rc.local
[20:37] <vsync> use the fucking google, seriously
[20:37] <vsync> google runlevels
[20:37] <Pici> vsync: That attitude and language is not appropriate for this or any of our channels.
[20:37] <TheMatrix3000> no need to cuss man
[20:38] <Pici> !guidelines > vsync
[20:38] <compilerwriter> ok folks I have a hard drive I like to salvage data from if I can get the thing mounted.  Any takers.
[20:38] <Hathadar> I just updated my nvidia drivers to v 280.13.  Ubuntu now fails to boot to desktop.  The kernal log states a conflict between client (v 280.13) and the kernal (v 270.41.06).  How do I update the kernal to allow the newer drivers?
[20:38] <TheMatrix3000> I didn't even know they were called run levels
[20:38] <vsync> Maybe you oughta learn some then
[20:38] <gigenieks> DasEi1: I tried to delete it, but I couldn't pressed "del" key nothing happened, pressed right mouse "delete" option is grayed out (= dont have permissions?!) so i tried to pen file manager "gksudo thunar" (I have Xubuntu) and go to /media/usb but now there is no folder at all... So what should I do?
[20:38] <TheMatrix3000> I am learning
[20:38] <Pici> !runlevels | TheMatrix3000 vsync
[20:39] <DasEi1> TheMatrix3000: that's another way to do so, or can use a cronjob
[20:39] <TheMatrix3000> well cronjobs run in time intervals correct
[20:39] <TheMatrix3000> not based on logins are they?
[20:39] <gigenieks> DasEi1: Ok i get to see it "show hidden files" but when I delete I got error "Unable to find or create trash directory"
[20:39] <DasEi1> gigenieks: cd as root to the folder and from inside rmit
[20:40] <DasEi1> rm it*
[20:43] <DasEi1> compilerwriter: open a trml
[20:43] <bober> fgg
[20:43] <DasEi1> compilerwriter: sudo mkdir /media/hd
[20:44] <bober> алоха
[20:44] <DasEi1> compilerwriter: sudo fdisk -l  , which sdXX is it ?
[20:44] <DasEi1> compilerwriter: sudo mount /dev/sdXX /media/hd
[20:45] <DasEi1> compilerwriter: cd /media/hd && ls
[20:45] <DasEi1> gigenieks: success ?
[20:46] <DasEi1> gigenieks: else simply reformat it with gparted
[20:46] <BarkingFish> aha, he's back :)  Sorry I wasn't here when you arrived back gigenieks - was dealing with a breaking news story which needed urgent attention.
[20:46] <khear> hi, when shutting down ubuntu, is there a way to see the shutdown console messages instead of the progress bar?
[20:47] <compilerwriter>  DasEi1 I got called away can we start over please.  My apologies.
[20:47] <gigenieks> Da** I am getting angry such a pain in a**... I managed to remove that folder, but I could nothing copy to it.. So I tried to remove it and insert again in slot some weird things happening when I insert it I got 2 or 3 windows with "open with" huh??!
[20:47] <DasEi1> khear: you can edit /etc/default/grub and remove the splash-option
[20:47] <DasEi1> compilerwriter: open a trml
[20:47] <DasEi1> compilerwriter: sudo mkdir /media/hd
[20:47] <DasEi1> compilerwriter: sudo fdisk -l  , which sdXX is it ?
[20:48] <DasEi1> compilerwriter: sudo mount /dev/sdXX /media/hd
[20:48] <gigenieks> It automatically opens media folder where is "usb" which we created earlier and is locked (locked = with big x sign to it) /media/USB DISK  file.
[20:48] <DasEi1> compilerwriter: cd /media/hd && ls
[20:48] <khear> DasEi1: thanks
[20:48] <DasEi1> gigenieks: k, then unmount it and reformat
[20:49] <DasEi1> khear: nickmiss ?
[20:49] <gigenieks> how do I exactly reformat it?
[20:49] <DasEi1> gigenieks: gksudo gparted
[20:49] <gigenieks> BarkingFish: its fine.
[20:50] <compilerwriter> fdisk -l returned nothing DasEi1
[20:51] <gigenieks> DasEi1: need to install it first (I have Xubuntu) there is no gparted by deault
[20:51] <DasEi1> gigenieks: choose the drive uppr right corner, do a new mstable and forrmat it (right-klick on the emty space, then apply-button)
[20:51] <DasEi1> compilerwriter: l="L"
[20:51] <physically_fit> i think on windows you can format the USB device by right clicking on it
[20:51] <khear> DasEi1: err.. as far as i can see, you told me about the grub option? or maybe i'm going crazy.
[20:52] <tsaknorris> join /#python
[20:52] <BarkingFish> tsaknorris, try this: /join #python
[20:52] <BarkingFish> it works better :)
[20:52] <DasEi1> khear: err, my bad , sure, its me being lil confused these days ;)
[20:52] <tsaknorris> BarkingFish:  lol yeah
[20:53] <asdasd> hey
[20:53] <asdasd> if ubunjtu is so easy to use why are there 1500+ people here?
[20:53] <genii-around> asdasd: The helpers have to come from someplace.
[20:54] <asdasd> =)
[20:54] <compilerwriter> fdisk -l still returns nothing DasEi1
[20:55] <zykotick9> compilerwriter, you need to use "sudo fdisk -l"
[20:55] <DasEi1> compilerwriter: drive attached , and with run with sudo ?
[20:56] <compilerwriter> sudo fdisk still returns nothing
[20:56] <gigenieks> OK I installed gparted.
[20:57] <gigenieks> DasEi1: there is only 1 drive (Xubuntu partion) no USb to format.
[20:58] <DasEi1> gigenieks: see above, choose in upper right corner
[20:58] <compilerwriter> I had done a /bin/bash and was running as root so I thought the sudo to be superfluous.  but I did exit that shell and try "sudo fdisk -l" and still got nothing.  Does that mean the computer itself is not recognizing the hard disk is connected to the hard drive?
[20:58] <gigenieks> DasEi1: I tried.
[20:58] <gigenieks> that
[20:58] <JosephRuby> is there a way to have a folder show all sub-folders by default so that I don't haveto ctrl+h each time I open my home folder?
[20:58] <DasEi1> compilerwriter: seems like
[20:59] <xeqache> need help installing x64 flash plugin
[20:59] <compilerwriter> So then my next option is to see if the platter is any good by going to a shop
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> xeqache: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/12/64bit-flash-ppa/
[21:00] <DasEi1> compilerwriter: how many drives does the box have ? just one internal and the external ?
[21:00] <robuciic> hey, ubuntu users. i'm your friend
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> xeqache: be sure you have no other flash plugins installed
[21:02] <robuciic> upgraded from 11.04 to 10 .. there was flash player plugin installer failure. and now i am not able to install it after upgrade is done as well. what to do?
[21:02] <IdleOne> robuciic: 11.10 in #ubuntu+1
[21:03] <gr33n7007h> Yo any1 know how 2 stream youtube videos to vlc in ubuntu linux?
[21:03] <cyphase> JosephRuby, you mean show hidden files and folders by default?
[21:04] <cyphase> JosephRuby, in any nautilus window, go to Edit -> Preferences, then check "Show hidden and backup files"
[21:04] <racho> or just press Ctrl+H
[21:04] <JosephRuby> cyphase, yes that is what I mean
[21:06] <cyphase> racho, he doesn't want to have to do it every time
[21:06] <JosephRuby> cyphase, ty that worked.
[21:06] <compilerwriter> Currently DasEi1 the box has one hard drive a CD-ROM drive and a usb CD-ROM drive that is currently running a live 11.04 Ubuntu cd.
[21:06] <cyphase> JosephRuby, you're welcome :)
[21:07] <gigenieks> So what now?
[21:07] <gigenieks> im stuck with that USB issue
[21:07] <Ronald_> When will Ubuntu support Gnome 3?
[21:07] <gigenieks> If cant get it fixed I would need to reformat Xubuntu to XP...
[21:07] <DasEi1> compilerwriter: so you'll probably want to mount /dev/sda1
[21:08] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[21:08] <DasEi1> Ronald : it's not supported here, but on your own risk and have it from a ppa (better try in a vm first)
[21:09] <Ronald_> DasEi1 but will it be supported in the future? The sidebar is driving me to madness!
[21:09] <boskee> Hello
[21:09] <elspru> how do I view the kernel source code?
[21:10] <deadpool> hey guys I updated some software yesterday and now eclipse won't work for me, is there anyway I can do something like a system restore? and get back to yesterday
[21:10] <DasEi1> Ronald_: welcome to club ; not that I new, but you can also have lubuntu,xubuntu and so on
[21:10] <deadpool> I didn't do any backups, I have been in ubuntu like for a 5 days
[21:10] <elspru> I would suggest voiding doing updates in future
[21:10] <curiousx> elspru: ls /usr/src
[21:11] <dweez> sidebar is still there in Gnome 3
[21:11] <curiousx> elspru: ls /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.3X
[21:11] <DasEi1> Ronald_ for now you can switch to classic
[21:11] <bombadil_rocks> deadpool - not really
[21:11] <boskee> I have a problem with Oneiric, where I receive random keyup press events that prevent me from working on ubuntu. Those events affect whole system (not only the active window) and I can't find a source of that problem. Can anyone help me?
[21:11] <DasEi1> !classic
[21:11] <Ronald_> dweez that one I love
[21:11] <dweez> I'm running Gnome 3 on 11.10
[21:11] <elspru> curiousx: I can't find mm/mmap.c
[21:12] <dweez> It's not the most stablest (I know, not a word) thing but it doesn't crash the box
[21:12] <deadpool> I get this error when I try to run eclipse  /usr/bin/xulrunner-2.0: not found
[21:12] <curiousx> elspru: locate mmap.c
[21:12] <deadpool> anyone konw what that means
[21:12] <compilerwriter> /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab is what I get when I tried mount /dev/sda
[21:12] <Ronald_> dweez is it supported and stable?
[21:12] <curiousx> in my case give me ---> /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.38/arch/arm/mm/mmap.c
[21:12] <bombadil_rocks> deadpool, do you have xulrunner installed?
[21:12] <gigenieks> right now I can't even mount that USB it shows error: "Daemon is inhibited."
[21:13] <dweez> No, it's not currently supported
[21:13] <curiousx> and /usr/src/linux-source-<IP_ADDRESS>/mm/mmap.c
[21:13] <gigenieks> Guys - help me plz.
[21:13] <dweez> and like I said, i get some app crash reports, but very infrequently and nothing "show stopper"
[21:13] <deadpool> I would assume I mean I had eclipse working yesterday
[21:13] <yeats> deadpool: it means that the (correct version of xulrunner) is not installed
[21:13] <Ronald_> dweez but it will be when the stable of 11.10 comes out?
[21:13] <deadpool> how would I get the correct version
[21:13] <yeats> !info xulrunner-2.0
[21:13] <deadpool> I probably got another version while I was updating yesterday
[21:13] <dweez> I'm not sure but I don't think they are going for Gnome 3 support by release time of 11.10
[21:13] <compilerwriter> mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab  is what I got in response to mount command DasEi1
[21:14] <yeats> deadpool: 'sudo apt-get install xulrunner-2.0'
[21:14] <raven_> anything fills up my hdd - how to find out what this is??
[21:14] <gr33n7007h> how can i broadcast a message not using wall command?
[21:14] <Ronald_> dweez otherwise I have to learn to work with Fedore. That is not what I want but hmm I just love the new Gnome 3
[21:15] <Ronald_> Fedora
[21:15] <deadpool> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[21:15] <yeats> gr33n7007h: why not use 'wall'? just wondering...
[21:15] <deadpool> is google chrome using it?
[21:15] <dweez> is this a critical box for you Ronald_?
[21:15] <bombadil_rocks> raven_ use baobab, I forget where in the menu it is
[21:15] <xangua> deadpool: close synaptic/software centre
[21:15] <DasEi1> raven_: install gnome-utils, use baobab
[21:15] <gr33n7007h> because i want to pipe to screen
[21:15] <deadpool> it is closed
[21:16] <raven_> DasEi1, i need anything what shows me open files
[21:16] <Ronald_> dweez hmm not realy but I like to work on a system that does the job easy
[21:16] <deadpool> I am going to close chrome and see if it works
[21:16] <DasEi1> deadpool: trying to use cmd-line while synaptic or another manager open ?
[21:16] <dweez> well, Gnome 3 seems to be in the regular oneiric repos
[21:17] <gigenieks> Last time am I wasting my time here?
[21:17] <dweez> I just did "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell" and let it do the magic
[21:17] <deadpool> well I don't see anything open
[21:17] <dweez> but anyway, gotta run.  Good luck Ronald_
[21:17] <deadpool> only chrome and terminal
[21:17] <gigenieks> I need to know, if so - go elsewhere or reformet to XP where I can do that simple thing
[21:17] <curiousx> take it easy gigenieks we do aur best =P
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> dweez: oneiric is supported and discussed in #ubuntu+1
[21:17] <Ronald_> dweez Thanks!
[21:17] <Ronald_> dweez I think about it for a while
[21:18] <dweez> ActionParsnip, thanks, but we weren't discussing Oneiric per se, but rather Gnome 3...my apologies
[21:18] <DasEi1> !aptlock | deadpool
[21:18] <gr33n7007h> deadpool -- sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[21:18] <raven_> anything fills up my hdd - how to find out what this is??
[21:18] <gigenieks> curiousx: sure I know, but it is kinda emergency and it seems that noone knows what is solution to my issue so I need to know that, so i can go google or just reformeat (X)Ubuntu. ;)
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> dweez: gnome3 also is offtopic, sorry :(
[21:18] <deadpool> k
[21:19] <bombadil_rocks> raven_ install gnome-utils, then type baobab into the termenal
[21:19] <Ronald_> dweez for now I go back to classic mode
[21:19] <yeats> deadpool: I wouldn't remove the lock until I knew what process is using it
[21:19] <curiousx> gigenieks: what is the issue ?
[21:19] <Ronald_> I hate Unity to much
[21:19] <bombadil_rocks> it will allow you to search your hardrive and show you disk usuage per folder
[21:21] <gigenieks> curiousx: before I could access (Xubuntu automatically mounted my USB flash), BUT i could copy anything to it (because i previously deleted files which stayted in trash) So we managed to delete them but now I can't access USB (it doesnt mount automatically as it used to do) I get errror: "Daemon is inhibited"
[21:21] <gigenieks> *couldn't copy*
[21:22] <raven_> anything fills up my hdd - how to find out what this is??
[21:22] <compilerwriter> DasEi1: have you any other ideas?
[21:23] <DasEi1> compilerwriter: no, if the drive isn't recognized, can't mount it
[21:23] <compilerwriter> How do I tell empathy I don't really care to see all the join/leave messages?
[21:23] <xangua> compilerwriter: try another client, empathy is very limited for irc
[21:24] <compilerwriter> DasEi1: So then all I have left is to see if I can mount  the platter in a new housing.
[21:24] <DasEi1> compilerwriter: on lifecd can use xchat which is not so heavy in ressources
[21:25] <DasEi1> compilerwriter: yes
[21:25] <SaidKLE> Question: I can't get apache2 and php to recognize the pg_connect() command, even after installing php5-pgsql module.  Any ideas?
[21:26] <}[o0]{> is it just me or is network manager perpertually problematic? it takes over an hour to get reconnected to a new AP when I switch. syslog reports failed association to driver over and over..

[21:27] <raven_> WOW 20GB syslog file because of USB-Errors...
[21:27] <bombadil_rocks> }[o0]{, there is something wrong w/ your drivers, or networkmanager or the physical hardware
[21:27] <bombadil_rocks> raven_, damn, that sucks
[21:29] <celestius> what do you call/what package is responsible for/how can i google for more info on how to hack the little mail icon in the top right corner, that integrates with empathy and evolution by default?
[21:29] <xangua> celestius: how about you try to make a clear question¿ ;)
[21:30] <}[o0]{> no. since I am here now..it's not likely, bombadil_rocks. just to check i purged nm, installed wicd...and no problem. so i switch everything back.
[21:30] <celestius> xangua: do you know which icon i'm talking about?
[21:31] <gigenieks> curiousx: what is the command?
[21:31] <gigenieks> ls fstab?
[21:31] <}[o0]{> problem for the next hour. so this says "hi...my implementation is bad.", bombadil_rocks.
[21:31] <celestius> bombadil_rocks is it true that his songs are stronger songs, and his feet are faster?
[21:31] <curiousx> gigenieks: nop
[21:31] <}[o0]{> someone needs to look at that because the number of forum posts seems to keep growing with the same complaints.
[21:32] <onder> Hi everybody.
[21:32] <curiousx> i found in da forum that a user solved it with just "sudo killall udisks"

[21:34] <bombadil_rocks> }[o0]{, I don't know about that but taking an hour to connect to an ap is a sign something is wrong

[21:38] <raven_> DasEi now i deleted the logfile but there comes no free space with it and i cannot delete the file also in trash - what possible now?
[21:38] <gigenieks> curiousx: now USb is mounted but I can't copy to it.
[21:38] <gigenieks> anything

[21:40] <DasEi1> sudo chown -R YOURusernameHere /path/Mountpoint (mount shows the folder)
[21:40] <gigenieks> Yes, I was right "properties" > permissions tab "owner: root" everything else grayed out in GUI view (if u get what I mean)

[21:40] <skie> looking for some help with getting a fresh ubuntu 10.04 install to connect to my wired home network.
[21:41] <scwizard> after I've apt-getted a package, is there any way for me to see where its installed itself?
[21:41] <skie> (also, I'm pretty much a total *nix newbie, so bear(bare?) with me here)
[21:41] <scwizard> the package I'm hunting for in this case is default-jdk
[21:41] <DasEi1> raven_: df -h shows no change and you removed it from trash ?
[21:42] <raven_> DasEi1, yes removed it via sudo rm
[21:42] <DasEi1> raven_: so space will be there
[21:43] <raven_> DasEi1, df does not change
[21:43] <gigenieks> DasEi1: finally!!! Seems that we fixed this weird thing... :)
[21:43] <DasEi1> !yay | lol
[21:44] <upwardindex> I've been searching for a while now but I can't seem to find what causes the installation of mariadb-server-5.3 to fail
[21:45] <robin0800> deadpool, sudo aptitude safe-upgrade is your friend
[21:46] <gigenieks> So to wrap it up: 1) delete hidden trash folder in mounted place 2) I got that wierd "Daemon is inhibited" error which was fixed with "sudo killall udisks" now I could mount USB again, then 3)get right permissions with sudo chown -R 4) copy what u need. Seems in that order we did that.
[21:46] <deadpool> robin0800 I run that command?
[21:46] <deadpool> ok it is updating some stuff
[21:47] <D_Russ> is there a way to set thunderbird as my default email client, meaning get rid of evolution on the system tray and have it open thunderbird when i click the envelope?
[21:48] <deadpool> anyone tried to remove the start up sound?
[21:48] <Trashi> hi. i got a kubuntu question. by default in kde exists an "grid desktop"-layout which im missing in (k)ubuntu... does anybody know how to enable?
[21:48] <upwardindex> MariaDB simply refuses to start and nothing in dmesg, any idea where errors could be logged?
[21:48] <MonkeyDust> D_Russ: gnome-control-center, preferred applications
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> D_Russ: http://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2010/10/22/mozilla-thunderbird-email-notification-in-ubuntu-get-green-indicator-and-gnome-libnotify-popup-for-new-mail/
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> deadpool: I just set my sound theme to none and it works
[21:49] <MonkeyDust> D_Russ: forget what i say, 11.04 is unity
[21:49] <D_Russ> yeah i am using 11.04 MonkeyDust
[21:51] <D_Russ> Thankyou ActionParsnip
[21:52] <racho> maybe 11.10 should be called Masturbating Monkey. Linus would be pleased ;)
[21:55] <magma> for when ubuntu 11.10?
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> magma: next month
[21:55] <enchilado> ...
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> magma: look at the version number, then think about it ;)
[21:55] <enchilado> This month
[21:55] <enchilado> :P
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> oh yeah, its october now
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> my bad
[21:56] <KM0201> only a few more days
[21:56] <magma> oh ok
[21:56] <enchilado> magma: http://www.thisisthecountdown.com/
[21:56] <magma> lol
[21:56] <magma> cool
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> magma: the version numbers are related to the year and month released
[21:57] <KM0201> a whole new world,. a whole new computer?.. boy thats big expectations
[21:57] <KM0201> lol
[21:57] <magma> yes, but I wanted to know the day
[21:57] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: do you know where to download the lubuntu 11.10 beta?... i'm not really interested in unity in any format (2d or 3d)
[21:58] <Scunizi> I'm getting tired of sneaker net on one machine (desktop 10.10).  It can't see the network ie. other machines, NAS etc.  Other machines are a mix of 11.04 & XP, NAS is off the Netgear router.  Other Ubuntu machines *can* see the network.  SMBFS is installed.  Where do I look for a solution?
[21:58] <dr_willis> KM0201:  You could always use the minimal cd, and install lubuntu-desktop on top of it.
[21:59] <KM0201> dr_willis: to much hassle, i just wann atry it in vbox.
[21:59] <manizzle> what is the ubuntu package for db4.2
[21:59] <manizzle> or libdb4.2
[21:59] <zromayn> hello there. i just install dhcp3 in my ubuntu server 11.04. from documentation it states that i need to edit the file /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf I don't seem to find that file anywhere. have I missed something?
[21:59] <manizzle> i tried to apt-get install both of them
[21:59] <dr_willis> KM0201:  lubuntu is often behind in releaseing the spefici lubuntu isos
[21:59] <manizzle> both try to install ruby
[21:59] <KM0201> Scunizi: just out of curiosity, have you tried booting an 11.04 live cd on that machine, to see if the network card gets recognized on the next version?
[22:00] <junior> quick question for anyone who knows. I want to stream line my kernel in 11.10 Beta 2, and need to know how I can get ther kernel source considering kernel.org is down for extended "maintenance"
[22:00] <xangua> !oneiric | junior
[22:00] <KM0201> dr_willis: i figured.. no big deal... i'm pretty happy w/ 11.10
[22:00] <Scunizi> KM0201, nope.. but was thinking of upgrading to 11.04 shortly.. are there issues with the network cards?
[22:00] <junior> ty
[22:01] <KM0201> Scunizi: well, if it can't get online, that's the first thing i would check... seems yours isn't being recognized (assuming all else is ok)... i'd try booting an 11.04 live CD, and see if it gets online...
[22:01] <KM0201> Scunizi: no point in trying to "upgrade" a system that isn't working properly... do a clean install.
[22:01] <Scunizi> KM0201, It's on the net.. just can't see the LAN
[22:02] <KM0201> Scunizi:  so it can get online, but it just can't see other machines that are on the LAN... ther ewas a bug in10.10 samba... can't remember what it was.. (di9dn't effect me, but i saw a post about it)
[22:03] <pooltable> when was Oneiric Ocelot relase date change ??
[22:03] <skie> any thoughts on a working ethernet connection... just not working?
[22:03] <KM0201> Scunizi: read bryanl's post
[22:03] <KM0201> http://techreport.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=74228
[22:03] <skie> I've tested the connection with my laptop, and it works
[22:03] <skie> and I've been promised that before installing ubuntu on the machine, the machine had connectivity
[22:03] <Scunizi> KM0201, yea.. something about restarting smb's two underlying systems.. however I don't have samba installed, just smbfs which is suppose to activate LAN shares from what I understand.  Where's bryanl's post? I don't see it in the history
[22:04] <KM0201> Scunizi: read the link i posted.
[22:04] <pooltable> when was Oneiric Ocelot relase date change ??
[22:04] <Scunizi> KM0201, ah.. missed the link 'cause it didn't highlight.. sorry 'bout that.
[22:05] <KM0201> Scunizi: it was my fault, i meant to put it all on one line
[22:05] <KM0201> dr_willis: looks like lubuntu is still on beta 2.. so yeah, they are lagging a bit, but i'll try the live cd in vbox
[22:09] <pooltable> is ubuntu the only linux os that easy to update???
[22:10] <manizzle> lol pooltable
[22:10] <ruub> hi, i just made a dualboot with ubuntu two times. 10.04 . i can start up the new one i added. but the one that was already longer time on this computer i dont see in grub. what can i do about that?
[22:11] <pooltable> manizzle i just asking here soor if i am new
[22:13] <dangertux> ruub - under the Ubuntu you can get to, mount the partition that the other install is on (e.g:  sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt) then do (sudo update-grub) it should add the original one to the bootloader , make sure you change your partition as necessary for the correct installation.
[22:14] <ruub> okay i try reboot now. thnx brb
[22:16] <ruub> hm.. didnt help :/
[22:17] <skie> any idea why a wired ethernet connection (that has been tested and shown to work on a different machine) wouldn't work on a fresh 10.04 install?
[22:17] <KM0201> ruub: do you have a current live cd?
[22:17] <ruub> meaby its the problem that i didnt make more partisions. i did just do; instal side by side
[22:17] <ruub> yep i have a livecd
[22:18] <KM0201> !grub2 | ruub
[22:18] <KM0201> ruub: follow the "restore grub" instructions
[22:18] <tvaldes> Can someone help me run CD/DVD creator as root in 10.04? "gksudo nautilus --no-default-window --no-desktop burn:///" isn't working, and it did in older versions... Thanks!
[22:18] <ruub> i never do annything with windows
[22:18] <KM0201> tvaldes: why on earth would you rnt hat as root?
[22:19] <tvaldes> backup purposes. Have to burn files for users that don't even exist on the backup server, only on production server
[22:19] <tvaldes> and have to preserve permissions
[22:20] <musl> tvaldes: why not run tar or rsync or something as root, creating an archive and then burn that as a normal user?
[22:20] <tvaldes> And Gnomebaker won't let me burn DVD's if the directory structure is too deep, even if the 'force' checkbox is checked
[22:20] <dangertux> ruub : make sure you know what partition your other install is on otherwise grub will not be able to detect it.  sudo fdisk -l can list your partitions if you don't know.
[22:20] <Bokator> des francais ici ?!!!
[22:20] <ruub> i didnt make more partisions
[22:20] <glebihan> tvaldes, the correct command would be "gksudo nautilus --no-desktop burn:///"
[22:20] <ruub> i just did side by side
[22:20] <glebihan> !fr | Bokator
[22:20] <Bokator> pas de francais ?
[22:21] <tvaldes> THe tar would be larger than 4Gb, which isnt allowed by the DVD format (joliet I think?)
[22:21] <dangertux> ruub - if you did side by side, more partitions were still created, they were just created automatically.
[22:21] <ruub> okay
[22:21] <ruub> the one you gave before was this one i use now then
[22:22] <ruub> what can i try?
[22:22] <musl> What about a format that supports multi-part archives, and what about something like par2 that can include redundancy info because you're storing it on a potentially lossy channel (DVDs)
[22:22] <tvaldes> glebihan: "gksudo nautilus --no-desktop burn:///" didn't work. Neither does "gksudo nautilus burn:///"
[22:22] <KM0201> ruub: so you've already tried using boot repair?
[22:22]  * musl digresses
[22:22] <dangertux> ruub - I am not understanding what you're asking.
[22:22] <bombadil_rocks> tvaldes, try using tar.7z if you can, it perserves permisions and supports spliting the archive up
[22:22] <ruub> there was something i did before rebooting
[22:22] <ruub> uhm
[22:23] <ruub> it was uhm a way to mount uhm
[22:23] <ruub> the partision
[22:23] <KM0201> 1st... did you install an actual dual boot, or did you install with Wubi (install ubuntu inside windows)
[22:23] <ruub> no
[22:23] <tvaldes> bombadil_rocks: Alright, I guess archiving will be the way to go then. Thanks!
[22:23] <ruub> i hate windows
[22:23] <KM0201> ruub: ok, so boot the live CD, then come back here.
[22:23] <musl> tvaldes: Check out PAR2.  It's made executable, it's in the right folder, it's written the correct way (i completed it with tab), but it's complaining that it can't find the file or directory
[22:25] <bombadil_rocks> try ./executable name
[22:26] <s3r3n1t7> that's exactly what i'm trying bombadil_rocks, and exactly what's complaining that it can't find the file
[22:26] <s3r3n1t7> odd thing is, i can run chmod on the file just fine and i'm running it under my own user
[22:26] <qin> s3r3n1t7: Do you own it?
[22:26] <s3r3n1t7> qin, yup
[22:26] <iceroot> s3r3n1t7: ls -all on that dir please
[22:26] <tvaldes> musl: Thanks, I'll check it out
[22:27] <iron_bear> how do i change the window menu in unity from the top of the screen to inside each window???
[22:27] <Ruub> now here from my netbook
[22:27] <s3r3n1t7> iceroot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/701964/
[22:28] <KM0201> Ruub: now, open a terminal on that machine and type sudo apt-get install boot-repair
[22:28] <Ruub> its still bussy starting up the livecd
[22:28] <KM0201> Ruub: oh ok.
[22:29] <glebihan> s3r3n1t7, try installing the "lsb-core" package
[22:30] <s3r3n1t7> glebihan, will try, hold on ...
[22:30] <s3r3n1t7> glebihan, that worked, thanks!
[22:30] <TheLawnmowerMan> Can anybody give me a hand?  I've got no sound coming out of my Ubuntu box.  When I run 'lspci -v | grep "Audio device"' I see imgur.com/0sJMa although I can clearly see a device in my sound preferences http://imgur.com/aCw2u.  I do see some information about my sound device - paste.ubuntu.com/701853/  Any suggestions?
[22:31] <glebihan> s3r3n1t7, you're welcome
[22:31] <Corey> !sound
[22:31] <Corey> TheLawnmowerMan: That may help.
[22:31] <Ruub> E: couldnt  find package boot-repair
[22:32] <Faris> Hi! Is it possible to play music on a server over SSH ?
[22:32] <Ruub> thats what i get now
[22:32] <g0rs> Hello, is there any application for cpu frequency scaling in the latest version of ubuntu? I have have some apps but they dont seem to work . I was looking for an application with which we can select the clock frequenccy or clock speed of processor(s) on the desktop. Can anybody comment?
[22:32] <TheLawnmowerMan> Corey: I've seen the community sound troubleshooting before and can get to step six.  I know that this sound card works because it worked when this machine had windows on it.
[22:33] <KM0201> Ruub: is the machine ont he internet?
[22:33] <iron_bear> how do i change the window menu in unity from the top of the screen to inside each window???
[22:33] <Ruub> yeah its on internet
[22:33] <xangua> g0rs: there is a cpufreq 'indicator' if that is your question
[22:33] <KM0201> Ruub: open synaptic package manager
[22:33] <xangua> lots of indicator stuff on the omg!ubuntu! blog ;)
[22:33] <g0rs> xangua: i have installed but it doesn't work. Do you know where to find it in a repository?
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> g0rs: what is the output of:   lsb_release -sc
[22:34] <xangua> not that i spam or is the only blog about ubuntu, but really good articles
[22:34] <Ruub> okay and install it from there?
[22:34] <xangua> !cpufreq
[22:34] <KM0201> well, first, click settings/repositories
[22:34] <g0rs> ActionParsnip: Natty
[22:34] <xangua> grrr what whas the factoid to configure cpufreq¿¿ give it to g0rs ;)
[22:34] <Faris> I got music on my Linux Desktop and I want to remotely make it play music from my laptop. Is that possible over SSH ?
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> g0rs: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-change-cpu-frequency-scaling-in-ubuntu.html
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> Faris: sure, connect with:  ssh -X username@server
[22:35] <KM0201> Ruub: n software sources, make sure all the boxes on the first two tabs (ubuntu software, and other software) are checked... then click close, and click reload
[22:35] <KM0201> then search for boot-repair
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> Faris: the apps will display on the client, but the sound will come out of the serve
[22:35] <Faris> Oh by the way my desktop has no X server, it's console only
[22:35] <Faris> but has audio drivers
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> Faris: could use mplayer than, or vlc-nox
[22:36] <Faris> mplayer can't load audio drivers :s
[22:36] <jsharpminor> Hi, I need help!!!!!   I think I just removed myself from sudoers using usermod -G. I was trying to add myself to vboxusers, but now I'm not allowed to sudo or su. Is there a default root password for Ubuntu, or some way for me to add myself back to the sudoers?
[22:36] <Faris> I can't even run alsamixer voer SSH :(
[22:36] <g0rs> ActionParsnip: the cpu indicator application is not available for installation
[22:37] <Faris> mplayer can't load audio drivers over SSH that is
[22:37] <Faris> But does work perfectly otherwise
[22:37] <synapse> Is it possible to archive/zip/tar a fakeroot environment?
[22:37] <Ruub> hm
[22:37] <Ruub> it dont seem  to find annything
[22:38] <Ruub> oh reload
[22:38] <jsharpminor> I already tried to apt-get install fakeroot, but it needs sudo / root priviliges, and it tells me mine are invalid.
[22:39] <qin> Faris: With vlc you have more chances to stream audio, but not via ssh.
[22:39] <matrox85> hello
[22:39] <Faris> I don't want to stream music
[22:40] <Ruub> i checked all things in software sources
[22:40] <Faris> I want to play what's on the Desktop
[22:40] <Ruub> and then?
[22:40] <KM0201> Ruub: do a search in synaptic for "boot-repair" (after you reload of course)
[22:40] <Ruub> i did
[22:40] <qin> Faris: In general, ssh is not sreaming protocol, vlc comes with streaming server.
[22:40] <Ruub> found nothing
[22:41] <jsharpminor> Hi, I need help!!!!!   I think I just removed myself from sudoers using usermod -G. I was trying to add myself to vboxusers, but now I'm not allowed to sudo or su. Is there a default root password for Ubuntu, or some way for me to add myself back to the sudoers?
[22:41] <matrox85> hello
[22:41] <KM0201> Ruub: what version is the live cd?

[22:41] <Ruub> 10.04
[22:41] <KM0201> Ruub: thats why.
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> jsharpminor: boot to root recovery mode and you can add yourself to the admin group again
[22:42] <Ruub> its what  i installed
[22:42] <KM0201> Ruub: well, 10.04 doesn't have boot-repair
[22:42] <jsharpminor> ActionParsnip: does that require a recovery disk, or should that be one of the options already in GRUB?
[22:43] <KM0201> Ruub: can we chat privately, cuz you dont' !tab and i can't keep track of you
[22:43] <Ruub> hm
[22:43] <iron_bear> how do i change the window menu in unity from the top of the screen to inside each window???
[22:44] <Faris> I just figured out a way to do it
[22:44] <qin> Faris: I am interested.
[22:44] <Faris> I ran a mocp beforehand
[22:44] <Faris> and then I could do anything related through SSH
[22:45] <Faris> mocp being a console music player
[22:45] <matrox85> someone help me please???
[22:45] <Faris> of course u must be logged as the user that's running mocp
[22:45] <Islam> how do I stop the recently opened files from recording that ?
[22:45] <g0rs> matrox85: ask you question in channel
[22:45] <qin> uhmm..?
[22:46] <synapse> Is it possible to archive/zip/tar a fakeroot environment?
[22:46] <MrNibbles> hey guys, i remember reading a while ago that there is a flag for screen which lets you just view the current user rather than interact with it
[22:46] <MrNibbles> anyone remember this flag :/
[22:46] <matrox85> I'm sorry I'm new and do not speak English well
[22:47] <Islam> does any body know how to stop the recntly used files from recording ?
[22:47] <iron_bear> hello??
[22:47] <g0rs> xangua: cpu selector/indicator is not working

[22:49] <bombadil_rocks> yes
[22:49] <matrox85> I need to install a virtual machine from windows7 ..... import files from windows7 just ask me a file OVF ... but the vmware files are formatted differently .... unconvertitore know this type of format
[22:49] <anderson> AJ_Z0,  helow
[22:49] <iron_bear> how do i change the window menu in unity from the top of the screen to inside each window???
[22:50] <g0rs> matrox85: did you try virtual box from oracle?

[22:51] <gr33n7007h> Is there a program or command to use a screensaver as desktop background ?
[22:51] <mikd> how do i get KDE
[22:52] <matrox85> asks me to import the file format OVF
[22:52] <xangua> mikd: sudo apt-geet install kubuntu-desktop

[22:52] <xangua> mikd:  or download kubuntu and clean install
[22:52] <g0rs> mikd: try apt-get ?
[22:53] <Islam> does any body know how to stop the recent files to stop recording ?
[22:54] <mikd> ok! thanks
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> gr33n7007h: xvidwinwrap
[22:54] <Scunizi> matrox85, I think vbox will import vmware files direct if I'm not mistaken.. Check vbox's site for instructions on doing that or converting the file
[22:54] <th0r1> Islam: that question makes no sense
[22:54] <matrox85> I try to look at the site but that alone does not do anything
[22:55] <iron_bear> how do i change the the menus in unity from the  global application menu to inside each window??
[22:55] <Islam> when you open the files and folders from the launcher it showes the recent opened files, how do I stop it
[22:55] <qin> Islam: By real effort I got you likewise: Disable recent files, so: http://ubuntuguide.net/clear-and-disable-recent-documents-list-on-ubuntu-gnome
