[19:16] <blitz> !ask | ubottu
[19:16] <blitz> it outsmarted me
[19:16] <WalterN> hah
[19:16] <WalterN> !windows
[19:16] <oCean> blitz: don't mess with the bot
[19:16] <tielhalter_> i'm trying to play UT2004 and other OpenGL-based games on linux, and there are very slow. I'm have AMD A6 Quad and AMD Radeon 6520 and AMD Radeon 6670
[19:16] <oCean> blitz: use /msg ubottu !bot  to use it in private
[19:17] <chuck1> I want to connect to #java but I definitely doesn't understand how to register, i'm noob for irc
[19:17] <hydester> i just installed kubuntu-desktop from ubuntu and my default file associations are still gnome-ish, like evince for PDF files.  besides right-clicking in dolphin and changing the default app via properties, is there a command to set the system to kde defaults?
[19:17] <oscar> ok then i have a back light problem it flickers as if it blacks the screen
[19:17] <oCean> chuck1: /join #freenode channel for help with that
[19:17] <benbloom> also WalterN for tielhalter_there's !fglrx
[19:17] <WalterN> shiny bot
[19:18] <curran> Is there anywhere to get extra folder emblems for gnome?
[19:18] <tielhalter_> thx benbloom
[19:18] <|Anthony|> what is the situation with a dual-headed setup under unity?
[19:18] <milamber> !register | chuck1
[19:18] <tielhalter_> !fglrx
[19:19] <benbloom> i can't actually help you with it tielhalter_. but try using that and then come back and i'm sure someone can help you
[19:19] <WalterN> tielhalter_: it seems the 6000 series is rather buggy with the AMD drivers still... I cant really play eve online.. some issues with it
[19:19] <Sopro> Dell XPS whith Nvidia and Intel? How the work?
[19:20] <oscar> any one?
[19:20] <Thunderkiss65> I play rome total war with wine with radeon hd4200 and the units go black when i zoom in. Didnt happen with other nvidia
[19:21] <txomon> benbloom, MonkeyDust , linux|linux vnc (intended)
[19:21] <oscar> screw this
[19:21] <tielhalter_> i'm sad, UT2004 on my P4 with GeForce 6600 works better than my notebook.. =(
[19:21] <benbloom> and what vnc server are you using MonkeyDust?
[19:21] <tyler_d> tielhalter_: define that
[19:21] <txomon> benbloom, its me
[19:22] <txomon> benbloom, the default with gnome
[19:22] <|Anthony|> so unity is a plugin for compiz, right?
[19:22] <benbloom> sorry txomon
[19:22] <curran> is there a way to create an alias for a folder?  instead of a symlink, so if i have a folder "LINUX" i can also type "cd linux" and go there?
[19:22] <WalterN> tielhalter_: are you using the AMD drivers?
[19:22] <WalterN> or the open source ones
[19:22] <tielhalter_> yep, fglrx
[19:23] <txomon> benbloom, its vino (or that says the docs)
[19:23] <WalterN> tielhalter_: yes what?
[19:23] <txomon> but I am unable to know why it isn't booting
[19:23] <benbloom> txomon, I don't use gnome or vino, but have found that x11vnc is a nice CLI alternative to any of the gui based vnc servers
[19:23] <tielhalter_> yes, i am use AMD fglrx driver ><
[19:23] <Thunderkiss65> curran, try it ansd see
[19:23] <txomon> benbloom, the problem is the server side
[19:24] <curran> try what and see?
[19:24] <benbloom> right x11vnc is a server txomon
[19:24] <curran> nobody posted anything, I don't want a symlink on my desktop, so that's why I asked if there is a way to alias.
[19:24] <WalterN> tielhalter_: ok, the latest one? or the one that you get from the restricted drivers thingy?
[19:24] <Thunderkiss65> the alias in your .bashrc
[19:24] <benbloom> txomon, It's easy to use, well documented, and command line activated so you can log in and start it up via ssh
[19:25] <txomon> benbloom, but vino one is supposed to be working
[19:25] <txomon> if not, why is it ported with ubuntu?
[19:25] <tielhalter_> WalterN: latest, from official website.
[19:25] <WalterN> ok
[19:25] <nzee> jpeg decoder not found. what to do?
[19:26] <benbloom> fair point txomon. i've had that question about many packages that are inferior yet built into ubuntu
[19:26] <WalterN> tielhalter_: if they are installed properly then yeah, what I said before...
[19:26] <nzee> i m on virtualenv. m getting error 'jpeg decoder not found'
[19:26] <WalterN> tielhalter_: drivers are too buggy still
[19:27] <|Anthony|> so unity is a plugin for compiz, right?
[19:27] <WalterN> tielhalter_: play minecraft instead :)
[19:27] <benbloom> so txomon, if you want to use vino-server, I can try to help. what's the problem?
[19:27] <tielhalter_> WalterN: i want world of warcraft :(
[19:27] <txomon> benbloom, It starts with xdg
[19:29] <tielhalter_> WalterN: do you know any resources about fglrx or about configuring xorg for work with ATI cards?
[19:29] <benbloom> i'm not sure what you mean txomon
[19:30] <ubluntu> !ati | tielhalter_
[19:30] <txomon> benbloom, googling I've found that it uses an active session
[19:30] <txomon> but my idea is to use it like a rdesktop
[19:30] <tielhalter_> !ati
[19:31] <WalterN> tielhalter_: the thing to do is check the logs to see if the driver is loading properly, and/or check the command glxgears and see if its laggy when you open it up full screen
[19:31] <bs_> how to change the gnome interface to english
[19:32] <brightspark> Hi, I'm getting an error relating to graphical support when I attempt to configure the Liquid War beta for compilation- does anyone here have expertise in this area?
[19:32] <polygon-pusher1> I have an app that I downloaded the bin for, my question is what is the proper folder that you typically install common programs in. I also realize that you make a link and put it in the bin/usr/bin folder but where does that  program go?
[19:33] <WalterN> polygon-pusher1: lib/usr/bin? what is "I downloaded the bin for"?
[19:33] <blitz> whats the best open source game I can get from apt-get
[19:33] <boudoulkool> HI
[19:34] <txomon> blitz, tell us which is the best game ever
[19:34] <elemin> in this channel speak only english lang.?)
[19:34] <aeon-ltd> blitz: best is subjective, also this is offtopic go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:34] <txomon> elemin, yep why?
[19:34] <benbloom> I'm sorry to be dense txomon, but i need you to tell me what the expected behavior is and what you're getting instead
[19:34] <BarkingFish> elemin: - yes, we only use english here.  What language do you need?
[19:34] <brightspark> polygon-pusher1, non-standard software can live in /opt, or if it is for your user only, in ~/bin
[19:34] <txomon> expected behavior: to be able to connect to the computer via vnc by just switching it on
[19:35] <blitz> is this channel only for trouble shooting?
[19:35] <tielhalter_> WalterN: I don't see any image in glxgears window, but in console i'm have ~3200fps oO there is first time, when i don't see gears.
[19:35] <txomon> getting instead: It switchs on, and it doesn't start the server
[19:35] <txomon> blitz, yep
[19:35] <meerkats> are all logitech mouses linux compatible?
[19:36] <ubluntu> meerkats: think so if its usb compliant
[19:36] <tielhalter_> WalterN: in fullscreen ~1400fps
[19:36] <Jonii_> Is there any way to turn onboard virtual keyboard off?
[19:36] <WalterN> tielhalter_: hmm... dont see anything in the window when you run glxgears.... sounds like something in the driver is not working properly
[19:36] <txomon> benbloom, I replied you
[19:36] <Jonii_> Does uninstalling it help or something?
[19:36] <txomon> sry for not marking it
[19:36] <txomon> Jonii_, ?
[19:36] <txomon> help in what?
[19:36] <WalterN> tielhalter_: look at the logs and see what the error is then :)
[19:37] <Jonii_> txomon: shutting down onboard virtual keyboard
[19:37] <benbloom> what do you mean by active sessions vs rdesktop though?
[19:37] <elemin> hm... Russian room on this irq"server apsent:) ?
[19:37] <txomon> Jonii_, what does it help into?
[19:37] <Pici> !ru | elemin
[19:38] <elemin> oh thanks -)
[19:38] <Jonii_> txomon: huh? I just want to get rid of it
[19:38] <Jonii_> Make it go away, stop annoying me
[19:38] <Jonii_> But its hidden somewhere, and it just randomly appears
[19:38] <txomon> benbloom, I want to use vino without anyone logged in
[19:38] <ariesam> Regalan 50 computadoras en una escuela en Bolivia con Ubuntu. Bien por los niños.
[19:38] <benbloom> got it
[19:39] <txomon> Jonii_, using gnome-shell?
[19:39] <idonolol> !theme
[19:39] <bs_> how to change gnome interface to english
[19:39] <Jonii_> And when I try to log in, i can't even get rid of it
[19:39] <idonolol> !themes
[19:39] <idonolol> !theme
[19:39] <Jonii_> txomon: ubuntu 11.10, that is, unity
[19:39] <idonolol> where can i get themes for ubuntu?
[19:39] <DoctorD> what game similar to XBoing II do you know ?
[19:39] <txomon> idonolol, ... you just answered yourself
[19:39] <DoctorD> themes ?
[19:39] <DoctorD> google
[19:39] <benbloom> in x11vnc '-usepw -display :0 -auth guess' options allow this.
[19:40] <DoctorD> g-nome look
[19:40] <DoctorD> a lot of places :)
[19:40] <txomon> benbloom, but it requires to have it in init.d ? Because I need it to be in the startup, and vino isnt
[19:40] <blitz> is there a way to give a window focus by hovering the mouse without using Ubuntu's universal access hover click thing?
[19:41] <idonolol> txomon what do you mean? i googled where can i get themes for ubuntu but i was wondering if there was a trusted site or something u guys know about
[19:41] <txomon> !theme | idonolol
[19:41] <WalterN> blitz: compiz can be configured as such if you want
[19:41] <idonolol> oooooooooooh i didnt see it >.< im sorry
 tscho di thelja isch
[19:41] <txomon> haha
 haha what sy it
 haha
[19:41] <benbloom> txomon, I use ssh to log into my remote server and start the vnc server from there for security reasons. I don't like the idea of leaving the vnc server open all the time
[19:42] <txomon> thats why I told you you had answered yourself
[19:42] <tielhalter_> WalterN: i didn't find any errors in glxgears output, /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/dmesg. Is there any other log files?
[19:42] <txomon> benbloom, the idea was to do a mixed login, ssh tunnel and VNC localhost
[19:43] <WalterN> tielhalter_: just xorg.0.log... and that would probably mean that the driver is buggy
[19:43] <benbloom> right. so why u need it to autostart then txomon? just create a bash alias
[19:43] <mistawac> Anyone familiar with how UFW displays it's information from iptables?
[19:43] <y-chrmsm-adam> sound be bugging the eff out!!
[19:43] <txomon> benbloom, gnome-session needed
[19:43] <y-chrmsm-adam> is it normal for sound on youtube to gone haywire??
[19:44] <greg__> glxgear is just in the terminal write: "glxgears"
[19:44] <greg__> what gone haywire
[19:44] <zatan> Hi, where is keep unity root password ?
[19:44] <ariesam> Giving away more than 50 computers to a school with Ubuntu, in Bolivia. Than good for children.
[19:44] <dr_willis> zatan:  there is no 'root' user password by default.
[19:44] <tielhalter_> WalterN: okay, thanks!
[19:45] <zatan> dr_willis, I mean where is keep my user password ? as in the seahorse I cant see anything
[19:45] <ssta> zatan: your user password is never stored anywhere
[19:45] <ssta> or at least shouldn't be
[19:46] <benbloom> txomon, im sure there's similar settings in vino-server to my "x11vnc -usepw -display :0 -auth guess" settings, but TBH i don't know why you want to use vino so badly. it is not as well documented as x11vnc (or else you wouldn't need help)
[19:46] <zatan> ssta,  ok thanks
[19:46] <txomon> benbloom, its in all systems xD
[19:48] <bs_> ubuntu 11.10 freeze some times i mean i can't do anything but moving the mouse how to solve this
[19:49] <polygon-pusher1> how do I set a default app to be used for a file type?
[19:50] <benbloom> yeah but it's obviously not what you want txomon, and its gnome-dependent which is a big fail when you're working with remote machines. you want a command line based utility that will serve your computer's X11 display remotely.
[19:50] <debsan> polygon-pusher1, it depends which is your system ?
[19:50] <polygon-pusher1> 11
[19:50] <idonolol> how do i know which KDE version do i have?
[19:50] <FreezingCold> Weird question, I'm trying to get my computer to forward everything going to <IP_ADDRESS>:9102 to localhost:25743, how can I do that with iptables?
[19:51] <txomon> benbloom, the idea was to teach a friend to use it xD
[19:51] <polygon-pusher1> gnome
[19:51] <txomon> idonolol, go #kubuntu
[19:51] <idonolol> wait txomon does ubuntu 10.04 have KDE?
[19:52] <FreezingCold> idonolol: click help on something kde and look at the version
[19:52] <txomon> idonolol, ubuntu-> gnome kubuntu-> kde lubuntu->lxde xubuntu->xfce etc.
[19:52] <FreezingCold> txomon: Where't Unity?
[19:52] <idonolol> txomon i dont get im just trying to look for themes and they are asking me what KDE i have
[19:52] <benbloom> lol FreezingCold
[19:52] <txomon> FreezingCold, ubuntu
[19:52] <idonolol> i have no idea what is taht
[19:53] <txomon> idonolol, you are in the wrong place
[19:53] <chuck1310> I've a problem when I use Ubuntu, my pc shut down automatically after a few moment
[19:53] <idonolol> txomon touchee.. thank you sir
[19:53] <chuck1310> often when I process some action, like started a application
[19:54] <txomon> idonolol, I meant searching themes of course
[19:54] <chuck1310> and I'm not this problem with Windows
[19:54] <txomon> idonolol, you were looking for kde themes, you must search gnome themes
[19:54] <chuck1310> I tried to reinstall or to change of linux distribution but i'ts the same
[19:54] <pyksy_> Hi, I have an Atom N330 based Asus eeebox EB1012 which I just upgraded from Maveric to Oneiric. My problem is that the kernel 3.0.0-14 keeps crashing with 100% probability, even without proprietary NVidia gfx drivers.
[19:54] <pyksy_> Kernel 2.6.38-13 works rock solid. Is the 3.0.0-14 kernel problem a known issue?
[19:54] <idonolol> oooooo now i get it thanks txomon
[19:54] <chuck1310> I've a Dell laptop Inspirion 15
[19:55] <txomon> chuck1310, is it connected to current?
[19:55] <pyksy_> I tried googling but it my google-fu is weak..
[19:55] <txomon> pyksy_, ask #kernel
[19:56] <FreezingCold> .j
[19:56] <pyksy_> txomon: ok, will do. thanks!
[19:56] <benbloom> ok txomon. I can't help you with vino as i don't run gnome anymore. but it sounds like you need an "-auth guess" option in your vino preferences
[19:57] <txomon> benbloom, dont think so, that seems to be "enable anyone to come and see"
[19:57] <txomon> benbloom, I just need to boot it
[19:58] <benbloom> and you can't do that via ssh/command line? then that is a limitation of vino
[19:59] <txomon> yeah,... I guess
[19:59] <AzoteLogiko> hello. I cannot connect to my router using wifi and wpa. The password is ok, but the systems tells that it's wrong. I use Ubuntu 11.10
[19:59] <AzoteLogiko> any ideas, please?
[20:01] <txomon> AzoteLogiko, did you use windows with that same laptop?
[20:01] <mylnx> BLUETOOTH Help needed..Please!!!!!
[20:01] <mylnx> I get the following error message when I attempt to add a bluetooth device.
[20:01] <mylnx> “THIS FEATURE CANNOT BE ENABLED BECAUSE THE REQUIRED PACKAGES ARE NOT INSTALLED ON YOUR SYSTEM”.
[20:01] <mylnx> Thank you for you help in advance...:-)
[20:01] <FloodBot1> mylnx: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:01] <y-chrmsm-adam> HALP!!!
[20:01] <y-chrmsm-adam> sound is mad noisy!!
[20:01] <y-chrmsm-adam> dunno what the hell is going on!!
[20:01] <AzoteLogiko> txomon, I cand use it to test
[20:01] <AzoteLogiko> should I do it?
[20:01] <txomon> AzoteLogiko, could be due to router restriction
[20:02] <txomon> I mean, maybe you have mac filtering in the router
[20:02] <AzoteLogiko> I dont think so, ... anyway I'm goint to try with W7 and see what happens. thank you
[20:02] <txomon> AzoteLogiko, if you dont think so,.
[20:03] <y-chrmsm-adam> any ideas about my sound problemo??
[20:03] <txomon> then you can try by changing the routers auth
[20:03] <txomon> or looking into routers auth config
[20:03] <AzoteLogiko> good idea txomon, I'll give a try
[20:04] <benbloom> txomon, what happens if you try to load vino-server via TTY?
[20:04] <mylnx> What packages do I need to install in order to enable BLUETOOTH?
[20:05] <avarisclari> hallo people, i have a quick question about the translation teams if someone can answer it
[20:05] <owenll> !ask| avarisclari
[20:06] <avarisclari> the language i want to help translate into has no team, but its on launchpad, but i can't find locale for it, so am i still able to start a team
[20:06] <Pici> avarisclari: #ubuntu-translators might be a better place to ask, but its really not as active as here.
[20:06] <avarisclari> i thought i'd ask here first, just in case
[20:06] <rabbit> Hi all.  I am having problems getting lm_sensors to work on a newer dell poweredge.  I must not have the proper mod loaded.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[20:07] <txomon> benbloom, cant open display..
[20:08] <benbloom> yeah txomon. it's the wrong tool then. u need a CLI based vnc server
[20:08] <y-chrmsm-adam> sound's gone completely now :(
[20:08] <rypervenche> txomon: x11vnc
[20:08] <avarisclari> i do have a quick technical question, is there a way to check error logs from earlier in the day?
[20:09] <avarisclari> something went wrong with my video driver i had to force reinstall
[20:09] <txomon> benbloom, but for what is then vino supposed to exist!
[20:09] <KingFisher> Hi there
[20:09] <blitz> hi
[20:10] <KingFisher> A day ago someone started pinging me nonstop causing me to have implement a firewall...
[20:10] <benbloom> mostly for when a user is on his computer and needs help from someone remotely. then they can start it up and give you access
[20:10] <KingFisher> when someone pings me on Ubuntu how I can find out the IP address that is pinging me?
[20:11] <avarisclari> i think theres a network extension on /who
[20:11] <txomon> KingFisher, try by looking at the firewall log
[20:11] <cjz> hi LTS 10.04, running on EC2, does anyone know how to get postfix to log enough to see what its actually giving the pipe daemon?
[20:11] <KingFisher> txomon, the firewall is the one in my router settings
[20:12] <KingFisher> Routers keep logs of those kind of things right?
[20:12] <avarisclari> usually ya
[20:12] <avarisclari> depends though, if you have full administrative on, and how cheap of a router
[20:13] <avarisclari> and im not talking price, but manufacture
[20:13] <txomon> avarisclari, xD
[20:13] <RingZer01> I need some permissions/ftpd help.  I can su - myuser; mkdir x; (makes dir just fine) -- ftp myuser@localhost mkdir x; Permission Denied --- using vsftpd
[20:13] <avarisclari> well sometimes you spend upwards of several hundred dollars for something that the 40 dollar alternative is better
[20:13] <oCean> KingFisher: if they are actually pinging the interface on your ubuntu machine, you can see source address with  sudo tcpdump -i eth0 icmp   (where eth0 is your interface of course)
[20:14] <bullgard6> '~$ ps aux | grep gajim;  /usr/bin/python -OO gajim.py'.  I cannot see Gajim's program window. How can I make visible Gajim's program window? [Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2.1]
[20:14] <KingFisher> oCean, what do you mean by interface?
[20:14] <oCean> KingFisher: network device, could be eth0, wlan0 etc
[20:14] <avarisclari> gajim as in bit.trip.runner?
[20:15] <Pici> avarisclari: its an xmpp client.
[20:15] <avarisclari> sorry i was thinking gaijin lol
[20:16] <avarisclari> i'm gonna stick around though, if i can help yay, but i can still learn
[20:16] <KingFisher> oCean, Do all pings belong to the ICMP protocol?
[20:16] <avarisclari> how long are error logs stored for?
[20:17] <avarisclari> i know some distros overwrite each reboot
[20:17] <bullgard6> depends on the particular log.
[20:17] <avarisclari> in this case my video card, i had to force uninstall
[20:17] <avarisclari> and reinstall
[20:17] <oCean> KingFisher: yes, a ping is one host sending an icmp request, waiting for the other host to send icmp reply
[20:18] <loganirc> I am trying to add an application to the quick launch buttons. I used Dash Home to find the app then dragged it into the bar on the side. it left a space for the app but the icon did not show up. how do I fix this?
[20:18] <KingFisher> Thanks oCean
[20:18] <RingZer01> it appears my vsftpd.conf needed write_enable=YES
[20:18] <loganirc> if I click on the blank space it left it does launch the application
[20:18] <loganirc> tried it a couple times
[20:19] <oCean> KingFisher: welcome
[20:19] <bullgard6> avarisclari: My oldest Xorg log dates back from Nov. 17.
[20:20] <Oer> loganirc, don't drag it there, open the app, when running, right-click on the icon, select keep on launcher.
[20:20] <attlux>  /join #algerie
[20:20] <benbloom> txomon, i suggest you read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10468727 however, there are serious security concerns mentioned in post #49 & #50 i still say that installing x11vnc is easy and safe and will have the desired effect
[20:20] <bullgard6> attlux: remove the leading space.
[20:20] <loganirc> Oer, o.k. I'll try that
[20:21] <txomon> benbloom, oki thank you for continuing with that
[20:21] <Rosha> hey guys ! i think my package manager confused ! i have kubuntu and when i install kdepim i have 1.4 GB package to install... packages that they aren't dependecy of kdepim ! like python and etc...
[20:22] <loganirc> Oer: it doesn't appear on the launcher
[20:22] <loganirc> Oer:weird, maybe I should try logging out or something

[20:23] <txomon> benbloom, at the end #50 is the solution... but for that, i use vnc... will ask in ubuntu list to see that
[20:24] <Rosha> Ben64: well i have latest version of KDE ! but some dependencies is not for kde and kdepim !
[20:25] <Chotaz`> !n Bones
[20:25] <txomon> benbloom, I just thought an stupid workaround... Autologin feature
[20:25] <benbloom> well yeah!
[20:25] <txomon> xD
[20:25] <Ben64> rosha: it is a large collection of packages, and each one has dependencies
[20:26] <broski> lol
[20:27] <txomon> broski, ?
[20:28] <TheLastPoet> hey all I am getting this error dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updatea/0139 near line 0: newline in field name '#padding'
[20:29] <TheLastPoet> that was after running sudo dpkg --configure -a to fix an package installer error I am getting
[20:29] <TheLastPoet> Any solutions?
[20:30] <curran> is there a way to create a folder symlink type of scenario on a live usb filesystem > another folder on a separate partition?  Windows will only recognize the active partition; if a usb has multiple partitions, so I would like to be able to save files and not clog up my live env
[20:30] <txomon> curran, no
[20:31] <curran> come on.
[20:31] <txomon> curran, is not posible
[20:31] <ssta> TheLastPoet: did you run out of diskspace?
[20:31] <txomon> lot of people thought about it
[20:31] <avarisclari> anyone know how to read an xorg log for times?
[20:32] <txomon> the best workaround, is to mount a ntfs partition as home
[20:32] <curran> u could with each windows working in the filesystem, but the second partition would need to be writable by windows and it's only for that machine each time, so useless
[20:32] <txomon> curran,
[20:33] <txomon> ?
[20:33] <RadiumOxide> I'm trying to boot an OS from USB but I have multiple internal drivers so it appears I have to specify which one (via root=/dev/sdd1) but then what do I do to boot from it?
[20:33] <ssta> avarisclari: the timestamp is the number of seconds since system start (I think)
[20:35] <rysiu> elo
[20:35] <abhinavmehta> In man-pages, there is a "SEE ALSO" section, where we use to find some more pointers with some integer associated with. Now my question is…how to jump on those see-also sections..
[20:35] <rysiu> siema jest ktos ?
[20:36] <wavedigit> Hi, lets say I want to continuously monitor battery by doing 'watch -n1 cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state', but I want to (put it in the background), and trigger an event when it goes to something else than 'charging', would I have to program a daemon or can I use something else?
[20:36] <avarisclari> well the thing is i had to restart due to a crash and then i had to force my video driver to uninstall/reinstall
[20:36] <Pici> !pl | rysiu
[20:36] <avarisclari> so i don't know how to read this at all lol
[20:36] <abhinavmehta> is there is some way, I can directly invoke those SEE-ALSO from command line..?
[20:36] <avarisclari> sorry about any delays in my updates though, i'm trying to find it on google too
[20:37] <rysiu> #ubuntu-pl
[20:37] <rysiu> hey
[20:37] <rysiu> yhi
[20:38] <txomon> abhinavmehta, nop
[20:38] <loganirc> how do I create a launcher for an app
[20:39] <txomon> see .desktop syntax
[20:39] <loganirc> tried right clicking on the launcher bar, but that doesn't seem to bring up any options
[20:39] <avarisclari> aha! i found where my driver died, now to figure out what time that was.....
[20:39] <thyrant> I am thinking about updating my ubuntu server 9.10 .. how much trouble might I be in if I do so?
[20:40] <avarisclari> anyone know what time 40527.629 would be on xorg
[20:40] <txomon> avarisclari, maybe #kernel?
[20:40] <txomon> 40 secs
[20:40] <avarisclari> thanks
[20:41] <loganirc> does anyone have any idea how I create a luancher icon for a binary file that does not have one
[20:42] <ssta> avarisclari: something like 11 hours kernel time since the last restart (but there are multiple kernel timers, not sure which one it's using exactly)
[20:42] <avarisclari> okay thank you
[20:43] <ssta> maybe I'm wrong...pretty sure it's seconds on some kernel timer though
[20:43] <avarisclari> sorry to have bothered you guys with my troubles, i just want to find what caused it and put it up on launchpad
[20:43] <ssta> no worries, it's an interesting question
[20:43] <avarisclari> so if it is a major issue it can get fixed
[20:43] <txomon> ssta, its in ms always I think
[20:44] <Kimble> Hi. running "sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 9000" on my laptop with Gb ethernet installed returns only "SIOCSIFMTU: Invalid argument". Ub 11.10. Any advice?
[20:44] <avarisclari> and it wouldn't surprise my on 11 hours, my laptop was on from 11 pm till about 2 pm
[20:44] <Kimble> Tried also with "mtu 7200" with the same result.
[20:44] <avarisclari> somewhere around there
[20:44] <almoxarife> loganirc: find a jpg/png that fits your needs, the launcher can point at a local file
[20:45] <Kimble> I added the line "mtu 9000" to the eth0 section of /etc/network/interfaces, but on reboot the MTU for eth0 is still 1500.
[20:46] <ssta> txomon: hmm, google seems to think seconds since last boot, but maybe I'm misunderstanding something.  It's an awkward way to timestamp something anyway imo
[20:46] <almoxarife> Kimble: network manager not working?
[20:46] <Deathfinder> !
[20:46] <bullgard6> '~$ ps aux | grep gajim;  /usr/bin/python -OO gajim.py'.  I cannot see Gajim's program window. How can I make visible Gajim's program window? [Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2.1]
[20:46] <Kimble> almoxarife: oh, should have said I'm doing this all over SSH. my laptop runs the server edition of Ub. No GUI.
[20:48] <almoxarife> Kimble: got you,
[20:48] <jwac> hey...using nullmailer here, how do I clear out the mailq?
[20:48] <bs_> how to run subtitle for movie ?
[20:48] <Boom_Farmer> Does anyone here have experience with the 'Jupiter' laptop power management tools? http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/jupiter-applet-finally-available-for.html
[20:49] <Bublik2002> i have a dell e6410 laptop and for some reason strange things happen when i try to resume from suspend... i see theres a bug out for this... is there a way to fix it?
[20:49] <ssta> Kimble: are you getting IP via DHCP?  MTU setting is taken from DHCP server in that case I think
[20:50] <Kimble> ssta: aha, yes, this is being assigned by my router. That must be it.
[20:50] <almoxarife> Bublik2002: i would not say 'blame dell' if i didnt own one and see the same and worse associated with suspend
[20:50] <Bublik2002> i didnt get what you meant by that comment
[20:50] <oCean> jwac: has been a while, but I think it is nullmailer-send command?
[20:51] <avarisclari> hmm... i purged the crashed driver for my reinstall, but would the log still exist
[20:51] <jwac> oCean: the problem is I mistakingly tried to send an email to a non-local account so it's sitting in there constantly retrying and always failing
[20:52] <Kimble> ssta: i've never set up a static address for a port in "interfaces" before. If i just specify the address for the port, will network, gateway and netmask be provided automagically?
[20:52] <oCean> jwac: oh, in that case I would just delete the messages from var/spool/nullmailer/queue
[20:52] <h00k> Kimble: no, you'll need to specify those as well
[20:52] <Boom_Farmer> Does installing laptop-mode-tools automatically activate laptop mode, or do I have to manually activate laptop mode?
[20:52] <[Linuxfan]> Under SEH Team
[20:52] <Kimble> h00k: Ah. I'll confess I don't know how to determine those.  Where would I find them?
[20:53] <reapingwo> hey I'm having trouble shutting down without a hard reset, how do I begin finding the culprit?
[20:53] <robbbie> reapingwo: check the logs
[20:53] <ssta> Kimble: no, you have to provide them
[20:54] <reapingwo> yeah I figured but I was wondering if there was a search term that I could search for
[20:54] <h00k> Kimble: Uuum, I haven't been following the help thread on your issue, I don't know exactly what you're doing. The gateway address will be whatever address your router is, and the subnet/netmask will depend on what class network you're using
[20:54] <reapingwo> grep shutdown /var/log/syslog or something?
[20:55] <Kimble> h00k: gateway = router address. Cool :) Got it. And the network address?
[20:55] <robbbie> reapingwo: tail -f /var/log/syslog and then try your shutdown
[20:55] <h00k> Kimble: if it's a home router, It would probably be gateway: <IP_ADDRESS>, netmask = <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:55] <h00k> Kimble: what's the address of the router?
[20:55] <Kimble> h00k: the netmask I found already
[20:55] <Kimble> Um, <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:56] <ssta> Kimble: http://pastebin.com/23b4xy3S is mine, you can use it to get the syntax
[20:56] <reapingwo> what does tail do?
[20:56] <ssta> and <IP_ADDRESS> is NOT your netmask
[20:56] <ssta> (almost certainly)
[20:56] <ssta> reapingwo: show the last lines from a file
[20:56] <h00k> Kimble: so...probably <IP_ADDRESS> for a netmask, maybe?
[20:56] <reapingwo> oh ok. it just returned some of my network manager actions
[20:57] <Kimble> ssta: lol, that was my router's ip, in response to h00k's question.
[20:57] <ssta> Kimble: ah, sorry, I misunderstood (you'd be amazed though, I've seen people set netmasks like that by mistake)
[20:57] <Kimble> h00k: it's ok. According to ssta's pastebin of his interfaces file, "network" doesn't appear to be a required variable.
[20:57] <robbbie> reapingwo: tail prints the "tail" of a file, but tail -f outputs data written to the file to stdout
[20:58] <Kimble> ssta: Even the experts make mistakes, right ;)
[20:58] <h00k> Kimble: netmask, probably something like <IP_ADDRESS>, but I don't know.  If you can get to your router, you can find it's netmask somewhere in it's config
[20:59] <Kimble> h00k: yeah, I found it. <IP_ADDRESS>. Thank you :)  Rebooting the laptop now.
[20:59] <reapingwo> oh I see thanks.  I'll write the tail command in my notes.  seems useful.  Meanwhile in my logs I found some force deaths.  is that part of the shutdown procedure?
[20:59] <h00k> Kimble: it doesn't really matter, as long as subnets match across your network :) Good luck
[21:00] <imgrey> good evening #ubuntu
[21:00] <imgrey> what is your latest branch ?
[21:00] <imgrey> lucid ?
[21:00] <ssta> generally network can be inferred from netmask...you only need to set it if it's unusual
[21:00] <reapingwo> stdout means I read it from the terminal, yes?
[21:00] <reapingwo> am I back?
[21:00] <reapingwo> dang wireless :P
[21:00] <Chotaz`> Weird question: Is it possible to use my Xbox360 Wireless Controll + Play N Charge cable to use the controller on ubuntu?
[21:01] <reapingwo> Chotaz`, nope.  I tried to use it with skyrim.  The play n charge wont work.  you need a real wired controller
[21:01] <Chotaz`> reapingwo: skyrim on ubuntu?
[21:01] <ssfdre38> how can i get port 6667 allowed on iptables
[21:01] <reapingwo> nope on win7, but the play n charge cable does not send any info, just a charge
[21:01] <ssta> Kimble:if you do ifconfig -a on the DHCP acquired address, you can get netmask from there, and gateway from route -n
[21:02] <Chotaz`> reapingwo: ok, thanks :)
[21:02] <reapingwo> I would like to try skyrim on ubuntu but I got lots a stuff to get out of the way first
[21:02] <tfitts> this message isn't really specific to ubuntu but I thought maybe someone here would know.  If you have multiple (in some cases overlapping) wireless access points that you want to roam between, is it better to have them with the same name or different?  Would the channels they are on matter more than the name?
[21:03] <avarisclari> anyone know how to tell for a hard shutdown in kern.log
[21:04] <Boom_Farmer> tfitts: The uni where I am has several tens of wifi APs, all with the same name. They're all on different channels.
[21:04] <ssta> ssfdre38: allowed in or out?
[21:04] <avarisclari> the SSID of wireless is what matteres (and encyrption)
[21:04] <ssfdre38> ssta, both
[21:04] <ssfdre38> i just tried iptables -A OUTPUT -s tcp --dport 6667 -j ACCEPT
[21:04] <avarisclari> If you can connect its fine, if not then its not letting you due to configuration
[21:05] <tfitts> Boom_Farmer, are you more likely to hit a dead spot or can you tell if they overlap?
[21:05] <ssta> ssfdre38: looks about right to me
[21:05] <Boom_Farmer> tfitts: There are a couple of dead spots where there aren't any APs nearby.
[21:05] <ssfdre38> ssta, its says --dport is not a vaild command for iptables
[21:05] <ssta> ssfdre38: ah, -p tcp
[21:06] <ssta> -s is source address, -p is protocol
[21:06] <jwac> can someone do me a favor (if you got nullmailer) and see what permissions the /var/spool/nullmailer/queue folder is supposed to have
[21:06] <robbbie> ssfdre38: -d6667
[21:06] <Boom_Farmer> tfitts: There aren't really any blind spots near antennas - the channels don't interfere much, though that is probably the result of many channels and a carefully laid out 3-dimensional grid of overlapping APs.
[21:06] <robbbie> ssfdre38: er no scratch that :P
[21:06] <bs_> dos compiz work for gnome on ubuntu 11.10
[21:07] <ssta> robbbie: umm, -d is destination address, not port :)
[21:07] <robbbie> ssta: yeah i am retard
[21:07] <tfitts> ok, I'm just trying to figure out wifi here.  I've got 3 access points and sometimes being right underneath one it seems like it is dead
[21:08] <jwac> tfitts: check the channels
[21:08] <jwac> tfittsL they're probably overlapping
[21:08] <cjz> can anyone help with my postfix debugging?
[21:08] <cjz> is there a better channel?
[21:08] <h00k> cjz: maybe #ubuntu-server could help
[21:09] <Seveas> cjz, what's the problem?
[21:09] <ubahtek> is there a built in way to share a drive with windows computers on a local network?
[21:09] <Seveas> I've done a fair bit of work with postfix
[21:09] <tfitts> jwac: they're on channels 4,6, and 11
[21:09] <Seveas> ubahtek, yeah, search for 'shared folders' in the launcher
[21:10] <jwac> tfitts: that's why
[21:10] <jwac> tfitts: 11 is okay, but 4 and 6 are too close
[21:10] <Kimble> ssta: thanks, just so your las message. Turns out my changes to the interfaces file broke my LAN connection, so I just performed an emergency replacement with the default file. I'll post my borked interfaces file on pastebin for advice, if that's ok?
[21:10] <tfitts> so like 1, 6, 11?
[21:10] <jwac> tfitts: instead of 4, use channel 1
[21:10] <ssta> Kimble: sure
[21:10] <ubahtek> it pulled up "personal file sharing" and the dialog says " this feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system"
[21:11] <jwac> tfitts: make sure there are no other nearby wireless devices transmitting on channel 1 or 2 though
[21:11] <ssta> Kimble: also paste output of ifconfig -a and route -an (when you're on the working link)
[21:11] <ubahtek> this is a fresh default install
[21:11] <Seveas> ubahtek, hmm, for me it offers to install those. If it doesn't, install samba from the software center
[21:11] <hitpaki> sziasztok!
[21:12] <jwac> tfitts: I'm not 100% sure that'll fix your problem, but it's a good place to start.
[21:12] <reapingwo> Jan  5 14:33:58 rolandpc AptDaemon.Worker: INFO: Upgrade system with safe mode: 1
[21:12] <almoxarife> tfitts: i find around me where there are alot of wifi signals that (8) is the least used
[21:12] <reapingwo> I found a 6 minute pause in the log where I rerbooted following that line
[21:12] <jwac> I scan about once a week to see what channel is least used.
[21:13] <tfitts> jwac: scan using what?
[21:13] <almoxarife> tfitts: kismet
[21:13] <chrislsp> I'm looking for a PSU Fan speed control tool.I want to make it quiter.Any ideas for an ubuntu freeware?
[21:13] <jwac> tfitts: tomato...ddwrt
[21:13] <Kimble> ssta: ok, here's the borked interfaces file: http://pastebin.com/qmnhvRG4
[21:13] <jwac> tfitts: custom router firmware
[21:13] <tfitts> jwac: yeah, I run ddwrt
[21:13] <jwac> tfitts: well, aftermarket customizable...not custom
[21:13] <almoxarife> tfitts: kismet <-- open source and avail on repos
[21:14] <hitpaki> van itt valaki?
[21:14] <jwac> tfitt: ddwrt should have a scanner tool to show the least used channel or, at the very least, what everone is using
[21:14] <Seveas> Kimble, mtu 9000 might not work
[21:14] <Seveas> try removing that
[21:14] <Kimble> Seveas: I couldn't find the max value for my chipset
[21:14] <Kimble> Seveas: but it is a Gb ethernet NIC.
[21:15] <Seveas> Kimble, it's not just your chipset that needs to support it, the other end also needs to
[21:15] <Seveas> (other end being the switch/device you're connecting to)
[21:15] <ubahtek> I installed samba from the software center, rebooted, and still get the same message
[21:15] <Kimble> Seveas: oh, there's no issue there. My Airport Base Station and connected Macs, and the unmanaged switch, are all Gb.
[21:15] <Seveas> that says nothing about the supported mtu
[21:16] <Kimble> Seveas: true, all I can say is that my Macs all run with Jumbo frames, going through the switch and the router, and no issues so far.
[21:16] <almoxarife> ubahtek: what are you trying to do with samba?
[21:16] <ubahtek> I just want to share a drive on a local network
[21:16] <ssta> Kimble: does the router allow you to statically assign .8?  Mine won't allow me to assign anything in the dhcp range statically
[21:17] <Seveas> Kimble, ok, then it is probably your chipset indeed, I was just being thorough :)
[21:17] <Kimble> Seveas: appreciated :)
[21:17] <ubahtek> the "personal file sharing" dialog from the launcher says the feature cannot be enabled
[21:17] <Kimble> ssta: sure, my router's fine with that.
[21:18] <Kimble> ssta: here's the ifconfig -a (redacted): http://pastebin.com/3vfn3gCG
[21:18] <Seveas> ubahtek, I don't think it's the "personal file sharing" you want, that looks like the bluetooth app. You want "shared folders"
[21:18] <almoxarife> !who | ubahtek
[21:19] <ubahtek> Seveas: "shared folders" doesn't pull up in my launcher
[21:19] <Seveas> ubahtek, hmm, I'll try to dig up the package name
[21:19] <Kimble> ssta: and finally, the result of route -n: http://pastebin.com/KmEzWh3t
[21:20] <Kimble> Seveas: you wouldn't happen to know an iterative way of determining my chipset's max mtu?
[21:20] <jwac> So is there a reason my nullmailer decided to stop sending emails?  They're just sitting in my queue...
[21:20] <ssta> Kimble: That should be correct then.  I guess first step is to drop MTU to 1500 in the static config and see if that works (if so then it's the MTU it's not liking).  If not, then try settign the static to something outside the dhcp range to see if it helps
[21:20] <Seveas> ubahtek, it's part of gnome-system-tools, it's called shares-admin
[21:21] <Kimble> ssta: good advice. On it now.
[21:21] <kanupatar> how can I do print screen from shell prompt?
[21:21] <kanupatar> any commands available?
[21:21] <ubuntu> where am i
[21:21] <Seveas> Kimble, I haven't played an awful lot with jumbo frames. Most of my mtu adventures are around broken networks requiring a lower mtu without properly supporting path mtu detection
[21:22] <Kimble> Seveas: ok :)
[21:22] <Seveas> kanupatar, import -format png screenshot.png
[21:22] <Seveas> kanupatar, 'import' is part of imagemagick
[21:22] <kanupatar> Seveas: is that available in linux? i mean that command?
[21:23] <Seveas> kanupatar, yes, if you install the imagemagick package
[21:23] <lala_> Hello
[21:23] <Seveas> kanupatar, there's also 'scrot'
[21:23] <kanupatar> Seveas: is there any default software?
[21:23] <almoxarife> Kimble: are you getting errors associated with mtu?
[21:23] <kanupatar> Seveas: what is the command?
[21:23] <Seveas> kanupatar, nothing command line installed by default I think
[21:23] <ubuntu> how do i get a channel list
[21:23] <Seveas> /list
[21:24] <ubuntu> this is isnt like mIRC
[21:24] <ubuntu> thanks
[21:24] <kanupatar> Seveas: so import -format png screenshot.png will work by default ?
[21:24] <Kimble> almoxarife: well, I'm in the process of trying to increase my NICs MTU to accommodate jumbo frames, but having issues.
[21:24] <oCean> !alis > ubuntu
[21:24] <Seveas> kanupatar, no, you need to install the imagemagick package
[21:24] <kanupatar> Seveas: ok
[21:24] <kanupatar> Seveas: let me try
[21:24] <guntbert> Seveas: using /list  will hurt him
[21:24] <Seveas> kanupatar, but scrot is probably easier to use
[21:25] <zxiest> Let's say I want to put a couple terminal commands in a file in order to be able to execute them without having to type both of them. How can I "execute" this file?
[21:25] <almoxarife> Kimble: you have exceeded my meager leanins in mtu :) , good luck
[21:25] <kanupatar> Seveas: how can I use it?
[21:25] <jucedogi> anyone know how to prevent screen distortion when upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10?
[21:25] <Seveas> kanupatar, install the scrot package. Run the command 'scrot'
[21:25] <Kimble> ssta: aha, the static addressing works with an MTU of 1500. Guess it didn't like 9000 then?
[21:25] <ubahtek> Seveas: I'm still a little lost, I just installed gnome-system-tools with apt-get and "shared folders" is still nowhere to be found
[21:25] <kanupatar> Seveas: great , then whre it will be stored?
[21:26] <Kimble> almoxarife: lol, I'm no expert either - just trying to improve my network by Googling for advice! :)
[21:26] <Seveas> kanupatar, not sure, read the manpage :)
[21:26] <ssta> Kimble: well, binary search to find the highest it likes then? :)
[21:26] <almoxarife> Kimble: here is what i learned about mtu, keep it at 1500 unless otherwise
[21:26] <Seveas> (I've never used scrot, 'import' only once or twice. I use shutter for screenshots, but that's a gui)
[21:27] <kanupatar> Seveas: ok, can u expalin the first command ?
[21:27] <Kimble> ssta: what's a "binary search"?
[21:27] <Kimble> ssta: you mean, trial and error?
[21:27] <Seveas> kanupatar, why don't you just try it and read the manpage. Much easier to learn that way
[21:27] <almoxarife> ubahtek: where are you looking for 'sharing'?
[21:27] <Seveas> Kimble, organized trial and error, minimizing the amount of tries
[21:27] <kanupatar> Seveas: ok, thanks
[21:27] <zxiest> How can I execute a file that contains terminal commands?
[21:27] <Kimble> Seveas: gotcha.
[21:27] <ssta> Kimble: try halfway between what you know works and what you know doesn't (say 5000), if that works then halfway between 5000 and 9000, if it doesn't then halfway between 1500 and 5000...
[21:28] <ubahtek> in the launcher
[21:28] <Seveas> zxiest, bash file.name.here
[21:28] <ubahtek> almoxarife: in the launcher
[21:28] <almoxarife> ubahtek: what launcher?\name it
[21:28] <ssta> Kimble: any particular reason you want a large MTU?
[21:28] <Seveas> almoxarife, the unity launcher
[21:28] <zxiest> Seveas cool.. let's see :-)
[21:29] <Seveas> ubahtek, you may need to log out and log back in for ubuntu to find it.
[21:29] <Seveas> or even restart
[21:29] <Kimble> ssta: well, purely because all my network devices and cabling support Gb ethernet.  It seemed a simple way to improve network speeds between the server and the rest of the network.
[21:29] <almoxarife> ubahtek: if you open nautilus and right click on a folder in your home folder you should see 'sharing'
[21:29] <ubahtek> almoxarife: rebooting
[21:30] <almoxarife> ubahtek: if you want to, it has been there since your last boot
[21:30] <Seveas> Kimble, increasing the mtu isn't really going to improve speed for many things.
[21:30] <ssta> Kimble: it rarely makes any real difference...network isn't usually a bottlenexk anyway
[21:30] <Laurenceb_> im trying to run cadsoft eagle - pcb editor
[21:30] <zxiest> Seveas perfect! :-)
[21:30] <Laurenceb_> but if i try to run it by double clicking, or the launcher menu, it fails
[21:30] <ssta> Kimble: generally a network will run faster than the disk reading/writing data
[21:30] <guntbert> Kimble: you don't want to use with your MTU usually
[21:31] <Kimble> Seveas: That's true. But I use my network for a lot of media sharing (movies especially), so i thought it might improve performance and reduce load on the server.
[21:31] <Laurenceb_> i can only run the binary from the command line
[21:31] <Seveas> ssta, depends. If you have ssd's or fusionio, your network might be slower :)
[21:31] <bs_> how to mount iso file
[21:31] <Seveas> Kimble, it definitely won't reduce load. And if your data is on rotating rust, a high mtu won't help
[21:31] <micetzhu> install mount-manager
[21:31] <zxiest> Seveas I have 2 commands in 1 file. would the second line wait for the first line to complete when I do bash filename.ext ?
[21:31] <guntbert> !iso | bs_
[21:32] <ubahtek> almoxarife: that seems to work, is there a way to do an entire drive?
[21:32] <Seveas> zxiest, usually yes, unless you end line one with an &
[21:32] <Kimble> Seveas: won't it reduce the number of packets my server has to frame to send large amounts of data?
[21:32] <Seveas> & at the end means "launch in the background"
[21:32] <zxiest> Seveas cool! Thanks :-) Much appreciated :-)
[21:32] <zxiest> Seveas and comments would start with a # ?
[21:33] <Seveas> Kimble, for the speeds needed for media sharing, I've found this barely (if at all) noticeable. YMMV
[21:33] <almoxarife> ubahtek: that requires root, you might be better off with sftp if you want to offer up the whole thing
[21:33] <Seveas> zxiest, correct
[21:33] <Seveas> !abs
[21:33] <Seveas> !abs | zxiest, read this too for much more info
[21:33] <ubahtek> almoxarife: I just want the windows machines on the network to be able to browse it like normal
[21:33] <zxiest> Seveas thank you very much! :-)!
[21:33] <Kimble> brb. mtu 7200 borked the eth0 port again...
[21:33] <Seveas> zxiest, despite the name containing 'advanced', it's good for new users too :)
[21:35] <Kimble> Actually, here's a thing: when my ub11.10 server can't find the network, it wastes up to 2 minutes waiting before continuing the boot process. How can I change that?
[21:35] <ssta> depends what exactly is hanging waiting for network
[21:35] <almoxarife> ubahtek: you could start nautilus as root, 'gksu nautilus' and repeat the steps, i am not sure thats a good idea though, its up to you
[21:35] <Seveas> Kimble, 'can't find the network' sounds like you're doing dhcp and get timeouts. Use static ip addresses :)
[21:36] <Kimble> The issue is only happening because I'm messing with the interfaces file. Otherwise, it's fine.
[21:36] <Kimble> It says, "trying for a further 60 seconds before proceeding with boot". Can I reduce or remove that figure?
[21:37] <Seveas> are you using dhcp?
[21:37] <just187> where does ubuntu store the apt cache ?
[21:37] <guntbert> ubahtek: running nautilus as root is certainly a bad idea ™
[21:37] <Seveas> (as in: you said you restored the default file, which does that)
[21:38] <aeon-ltd> just187: /var/ somewhere iirc
[21:38] <almoxarife> just187: /etc/apt/cache , i think
[21:38] <aeon-ltd> i stand corrected
[21:38] <Seveas> both wrong :)
[21:38] <Seveas> just187, /var/cache/apt/packages
[21:39]  * aeon-ltd hangs head in shame
[21:39] <Seveas> but it doens't keep them there very long
[21:39] <almoxarife> Seveas: si, i stand corrected
[21:39] <Kimble> Seveas: dhcp actually works fine, it's when I use the static address with a new MTU that the boot-up stalls.
[21:39] <ssta> just187: /var/lib/apt/lists IIRC
[21:39] <ssta> or the cached packages?  that's /var/cache/apt/archives
[21:39] <Seveas> just187, /var/cache/apt/archives even ;)
[21:39] <Kimble> But never mind. This MTU adventure has run its course. I'll leave it alone - if it ain't broke, right? :)
[21:39] <Seveas> heh, ssta just a bit quicker :)
[21:40] <Seveas> Kimble, always good advice
[21:41] <guntbert> almoxarife: if you find something like a cache under /etc then someone did something really bad to your system :)
[21:41] <Kimble> So, does anyone know of a simple SNMP monitor package? I have to monitor the amount of data passing through my router's WAN (internet) port between 4pm and 9pm.
[21:41] <Seveas> guntbert, they may be settings for a cache ;)
[21:41] <Seveas> Kimble, mrtg, cacti, zabbix
[21:41] <meerkats> i play openarena, apparently I cannot use any other app while in the game, I have to exit and use the app i need, are there any shortcuts for this situations?
[21:41] <Kimble> ssta & Seveas : thanks for the help with the MTU, btw. much appreciated.
[21:41] <anmar`> Kimble: did you try "apt-cache search snmp" and see what comes up?
[21:41] <almoxarife> guntbert: i will keep that in mind, thnks
[21:41] <guntbert> Seveas: of course, was my wording ambiguous?
[21:42] <Seveas> Kimble, though, despite the fact that the "S" in "SNMP" means "Simple", there's not much that's simple about it :P
[21:42] <ssta> Kimble: no worries, good luck with it
[21:42] <Kimble> anmar`: no, but that probably wouldn't help me simply because I wouldn't know which packages were accessible on my level of skill and knowledge. Thanks tho :)
[21:42] <ssta> nagios isn't all that bad once you get used to it
[21:42] <ssta> it abstracts most of the tricky stuff away
[21:42] <anmar`> Kimble: sorry dude.. I wish I could help.
[21:42] <JasonGriffee> How to I check to see which video driver is in use?
[21:42] <Kimble> anmar`: no worries :)
[21:43] <Seveas> I love nagios. It keeps me awake at night :)
[21:43] <Seveas> but it doesn't do measuring or graphing, so Kimble can't use it
[21:43] <ssta> I have an android app I wrote that does the same
[21:43] <domedagen> I'm having some trouble installing Ubuntu on an SSD. It is already installed and running(typing from it now) but the boot loader is acting weird. I used to have Ubuntu on my HDD and boot from it but now Ubuntu is installed and HDD formated.
[21:43] <ssta> there are plugins for that I think
[21:43] <Kimble> nagios? that's an SNMP package? oh, and Seveas: you're write about the irony of the S in SNMP :P
[21:43] <meerkats> is it dangerous to edit /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config to read "alloed_users=anybody" instead of "allowed_users=console"
[21:43] <Kimble> ^right^ not write. bloody hell.
[21:44] <ssta> Kimble: no, it's a monitoring tool...one of the things it can monitor (and report on) is snmp data
[21:44] <domedagen> However when I set BIOS to boot from SSD it fails and when I set it to boot from HDD GRUB is loaded and I can pick the the latest version on the SSD
[21:45] <almoxarife> is snort the adult version of nagios?
[21:45] <domedagen> Any ideas why I can't boot from SSD?
[21:45] <Kimble> ssta: ok, I'll check that out. ta.
[21:45] <jxshxx> I'm having trouble solving "Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init" on Lucid.  I have a Live CD that works on other computers, but no on the one with the problem.  Any suggestions?
[21:45] <ssta> almoxarife: snort is an intrusion detection system
[21:45] <ChristianAdamski> Hi, I activated the Canonical Partner repository, but cannot find the package "skype" - help
[21:45] <almoxarife> ssta: noooooooooooooooooooo
[21:45] <ssta> it's not?
[21:45] <domedagen> ChristianAdamski: Did you wait for it to install de new repository?
[21:46] <ChristianAdamski> domedagen: I did a apt-get update afterwards
[21:46] <almoxarife> ssta: its an educational tool for personal use when i used it, you right
[21:46] <karl-augustt> hi every body , i have a problem on my linux distro, segmentation fault at booting
[21:46] <karl-augustt> is there someone who have an idea?
[21:46] <h00k> karl-augustt: I'd do a memtest right away
[21:47] <almoxarife> karl-augustt: dont be afraid, what distro?
[21:47] <ssta> almoxarife: I feel like I'm missing a joke somewhere :)
[21:47] <karl-augustt> almoxarife, ubuntu
[21:48] <Kimble> Ok, I'm off. Thanks to all for their helpful advice and assistance :)
[21:48] <aBound> Hey does someone know how I can enable the numeric keypad on my laptop?
[21:48] <domedagen> ChristianAdamski: Do you insist on using the terminal? Why don't you use the Software Center?
[21:49] <almoxarife> karl-augustt: pastebin the kern.log
[21:49] <ChristianAdamski> domedagen: I am using synaptic, no skype in partners for me, only adobe stuff and "centriy express"
[21:50] <rypervenche> !info skype
[21:50] <worm> \join ubuntu-br
[21:51] <domedagen> ChristianAdamski: what if you " apt-cache search skype "?
[21:51] <karl-augustt> almoxarife, I can not boot my ubuntu, even in generic mode, it told me that /dev/sda6 has not been correctly unmounted, what do you think about?
[21:51] <ChristianAdamski> 2x pidgin-skype and 1x earcandy
[21:52] <domedagen> ChristianAdamski: Below earcandy Skype appears for me
[21:52] <rypervenche> ChristianAdamski: Not sure if the skype in the repos is up-to-date, you may want to get it from http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/
[21:52] <domedagen> I installed using Software Center though
[21:52] <almoxarife> ChristianAdamski: pidgin skype needs the skype package, but i was going to use skype it would be thru pidgin,
[21:52] <rypervenche> Someone using the most recent version of Ubuntu type "skype -version" in the terminal
[21:53] <txomon> rypervenche, why dont you use apt-cache?
[21:53] <h00k> rypervenche: Skype <IP_ADDRESS> here.
[21:53] <rypervenche> txomon: Because I use Debian. :)
[21:53] <almoxarife> perhaps the skype web page has the package just waiting for someone to d/l
[21:53] <hateb> anyway to turn off unity sidebar ?
[21:54] <txomon> rypervenche, and what?
[21:54] <hateb> or at least customize it
[21:54] <rypervenche> txomon: So I couldn't check Ubuntu's version of Skype.
[21:54] <rypervenche> ChristianAdamski: Yeah, the repo's version is fine then.
[21:54] <guntbert> !nounity | hateb
[21:54] <almoxarife> karl-augustt: i dont know what to think
[21:54] <avarisclari> is there a ubuntu events team
[21:55] <hateb> ok, thanks
[21:55] <ChristianAdamski> okay... will try again with software center
[21:56] <domedagen> ChristianAdamski: What do you see in Software Sources?
[21:56] <karl-augustt> ok , no problem , I  hope one another.
[21:56] <carl__> lu
[21:56] <almoxarife> why would skype be in software center but not avail thru synaptic? that does not seem proper if true
[21:56] <ChristianAdamski> Oh, I think I found the problem. Skype is enforcing i386? I deactivated that
[21:56] <guntbert> karl-augustt: is /dev/sda6 a NTFS partition?
[21:57] <avarisclari> ... what the?
[21:57] <avarisclari> that was weird, went to join another channel and it didn't do anything
[21:57] <skagedal_> I get big yellow rectangles stuck on my screen. They go away when switching workspace. Anyone know what that is and how to solve it?
[21:58] <karl-augustt> guntbert: I think that an ext2
[21:58] <ChristianAdamski> Hmm, that is odd. In the canonical partner repository, there are amd64 packages for all releases, except oneiric
[21:58] <almoxarife> skagedal_: stick-ums?
[21:58] <ChristianAdamski> see: http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/s/skype/ no amd64 for oneiric
[21:59] <domedagen> ChristianAdamski: :(
[21:59] <JasonGriffee> I am trying to install fglrx, fglrxinfo outputs this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/794283/
[21:59] <domedagen> ChristianAdamski: You could try installing from their website
[21:59] <Seveas> ChristianAdamski, the 'amd64' packages are actually 32 bit packages. In oneiric you can actually install 32bit packages natively so that hack is no longer needed
[21:59] <almoxarife> ChristianAdamski: be brave, the I386 libs only add about 100meg of libs, its ok
[21:59] <JasonGriffee> what should i do to get it to work
[22:01] <guntbert> karl-augustt: please check, I can see no reason why that would prevent the system to boot
[22:01] <reapingwo> anyone ever see anything like this?

[22:03] <karl-augustt> guntbert: it informs me that my /dev/sda6 file system contents some errors!
[22:04] <Seveas> skagedal_, oh, that's a unity bug I've seen before. Doesn't go away until you restart unity (e.g. by logging out and back in). It's fixed in 12.04
[22:04] <Seveas> unity in 11.10 is still a bit too crashy and buggy
[22:04] <reapingwo> I seem to remember fixing it by switching desktops... or something like that?
[22:04] <Seveas> on 12.04 alpha it works better (though 12.04 alpha is not declared stable yet of course)
[22:04] <reapingwo> try dragging a folder to the top and make it maximize
[22:05] <guntbert> karl-augustt: ok, try the recovery system
[22:05] <almoxarife> JasonGriffee: what card do you have?
[22:05] <reapingwo> I fixed it with something like that
[22:05] <skagedal_> Seveas: all right, thanks!
[22:05] <JasonGriffee> ati radeon 9550
[22:05] <skagedal_> reapingwo: yes, I can make it go away by switching workspaces... but it soon appears again
[22:05] <karl-augustt> guntbert, I can not boot my ubuntu, even in generic mode, it told me that /dev/sda6 has not been correctly unmounted, what do you think about?
[22:05] <reapingwo> ohh... I have seen it once but cannot reproduce it
[22:06] <karl-augustt> guntbert, I can not boot my ubuntu, even in recovery mode, it told me that /dev/sda6 has not been correctly unmounted, what do you think about?

[22:08] <guntbert> karl-augustt: the version is ok, but you need a CD
[22:09] <karl-augustt> guntbert: a live cd 10.10 is it adapted? or necessary a 11.10 live cd ?
[22:10] <guntbert> karl-augustt: no, 10.10 is fine for this
[22:11] <karl-augustt> ok , just tell me i f possible ,w hat I Can do, me ,I have no ideas!!!!!!!!!!
[22:11] <phix> heh
[22:12] <phix> Hey gang! What's new?
[22:13] <guntbert> karl-augustt: best you boot the live CD, and come here again for further questions
[22:13] <hateb> Are ubuntu guys planning to make unity sidebar more customizable in the future ?
[22:13] <guntbert> phix:  Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[22:13] <karl-augustt> already for booting, tell what to do in next step,
[22:14] <phix> guntbert: No I am offering my services, are yuo having any Ubuntu issues lately that you want to talk about?
[22:14] <guntbert> hateb: that not a support question, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:14] <Seveas> guntbert, oh c'mon, it's a normal question about ubuntu
[22:14] <guntbert> phix: I'm fine, thx
[22:15] <Seveas> hateb, I don't think they are. The area for customizations is lenses for the launcher
[22:15] <phix> guntbert: ok well if you do let me know :) I am here for you
[22:15] <almoxarife> karl-augustt: use the live-cd irc chat to return here
[22:15] <guntbert> Seveas: how should we answer that?
[22:15] <Seveas> guntbert, I just did :)
[22:16] <guntbert> Seveas: point taken :)
[22:17] <karl-augustt> have to install irc chat on in demo?
[22:17] <karl-augustt> have to install irc chat on in live?
[22:17] <Seveas> karl-augustt, yes, but that's easy. You can also use http://wbchat.freenode.net
[22:18] <karl-augustt> i can do that , few minutes to give to me!
[22:18] <almoxarife> Seveas: to install he needs a harddrive on the machine right?
[22:18] <Marcius81> someone speak portuguese?
[22:18] <Seveas> almoxarife, no, if you install packages on the live cd they are installed onto the ramdisk you're running from
[22:18] <Seveas> !pt | Marcius81

[22:20] <juniorsa> Hi, I am using ubuntu 10.04, and am trying to setup a slave dns server using bind9, I removed a zone file to see if it would be re-transferred, and it won't transfer to my slave machine, I get named[8808]: client <IP_ADDRESS>#55034: received notify for zone 'rebeiro.ca' but the rebeiro.ca.db never get's created, any suggestions?
[22:21] <almoxarife> juniorsa: #bind9
[22:21] <juniorsa> almoxarife: no one is in #bind9 but I already asked in #bind no one answered, I'm stuck sorry
[22:21] <suppl> Hello, could anyone help me with troubleshooting acpi please?
[22:22] <almoxarife> juniorsa: did you forget #linux? or they as useless as ever?
[22:22] <Seveas> juniorsa, could you pastebin the slave's named.conf and included files (specifically the zone entry for that zone)?
[22:22] <bullgard6> suppl: ACPI is a very voluminous matter. You better state your specific problem.
[22:22] <bodnast> uh
[22:23] <juniorsa> almoxarife: I figured since I was running ubuntu this would be the best place to ry
[22:24] <Seveas> juniorsa, not a bad idea, as there sometimes are people here who know a thing or two about bind :)
[22:24] <juniorsa> Seveas: just hopeful :)
[22:24] <suppl> Well, i've got 2 gpus on my laptop. I used to boot with i915.modeset=0. Most of the things were unrecognized, like video and display (couldnt go more then 800x600).
[22:24] <suppl> bullgard6
[22:24] <Seveas> juniorsa, so please provide the info I asked for (hint: I know a thing or two about bind)
[22:25] <almoxarife> juniorsa: its not a bad idea, its the only place you can get an answer to any ill associated with linux, as long as you say 'i am on ubuntu' , thats what i do
[22:25] <bullgard6> suppl:
[22:25] <suppl> I just tried with acpi=off, video works awesome but the temperature problem is messy.
[22:25] <suppl> ie high
[22:25] <bullgard6> why is this an ACPI problem and no graphics problem?
[22:26] <juniorsa> what's everyone's favorite pastbin?
[22:26] <bullgard6> suppl:  Ah, I see.
[22:27] <Seveas> juniorsa, gist.github.com
[22:27] <Seveas> or paste.pocoo.org
[22:27] <suppl> bullgard6, i was using acpi_call... im just fed up with it all :)
[22:30] <almoxarife> how do i detach channel windows in quassel? i looked, i dont see it
[22:30] <juniorsa> Seveas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/794321/ - hope this helps, the named.conf just references other domains that were working before
[22:31] <bullgard6> suppl: You have a rare bug in so far as ACPI and graphics rarely interfere. I would start by analyzing dmesg. If you cannot find a hint in dmesg, you could try to find a hint in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old.
[22:32] <almoxarife> in terminal, how do i detach channel windows in quassel? i looked, i dont see it
[22:33] <Seveas> juniorsa, that's not a correct config for a slave nameserver, it doesn't define any domains
[22:33] <juniorsa> Seveas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/794325/ is the entry in my named.secondary
[22:34] <Seveas> ah :)
[22:34] <juniorsa> I just put 1 domain which is the one I am troubleshooting, it is long
[22:34] <suppl> bullgard6, thank you. i'll try to dig something up... i think it might be some pci irq thing, but since im using ubuntu for a few months... thanks again.
[22:34] <Seveas> juniorsa, did you restart named after removing the file? If not, bind is simply using it's cached version from memory.
[22:35] <juniorsa> Seveas: yes I did, on the master and slave
[22:35] <Seveas> hmm, that should generally cause it to do an AXFR...
[22:35] <juniorsa> I saw something about apparmor, there is already an entry there for /var/cache/bind my new domains are in /var/cache/bind/dido
[22:35] <juniorsa> Seveas: yes that's what I thought
[22:35] <Seveas> does it mention nothing about that in the logfile?
[22:36] <bullgard6> suppl:  Yes, a PCI IRQ bug could be the culprit.  I once had such a bug. But this reflected in dmesg.
[22:36] <juniorsa> I grepped for AXFR in the /var/log/daemon.log file and nothing
[22:36] <Seveas> oh apparmor... yeah, that'll scew with you. Disable it while you debug bind so it doesn't get in the way. When that works, reenable it and debug apparmor :)
[22:36] <Seveas> (I'm using bind mostly on redhat, so can't help you really with the apparmor bits)
[22:38] <ruleroftheintern> Can anyone direct me to an open browser or cross-platform LAMP IDE?  That is, I have to develop from a remote terminal and have the files but can't ssh into my ubuntu box
[22:38] <suppl> bullgard6, i did find some switching by ironlake card, "sharing irq 5 with 0000:01:00.0" and then, radeon at 0000:01:00.0 shared irq 5
[22:38] <juniorsa> Seveas: I did stop the apparmor and it still doesn't transfer
[22:39] <Seveas> juniorsa, and nothing appears in the log on either end about attempts to transfer?
[22:39] <Seveas> juniorsa, try incrementing the serialnumber of the zone and rndc reload on the master. That should result in notifications and retransfers. Both should be visible in logs on both ends.
[22:40] <ruleroftheintern> Can someone direct me to a quality PHP/CSS/Javascript/Mysql IDE?
[22:41] <Seveas> ruleroftheintern, vim :)
[22:41] <ruleroftheintern> Seveas, i really don't want to learn vim :)
[22:41] <chuck1> ruleroftheintern: w3school
[22:41] <robbbie> ruleroftheintern: vimtutor
[22:41] <Seveas> ruleroftheintern, bluefish then
[22:41] <robbbie> ruleroftheintern: run through vimtutor in your console and an hour later you will be a vim master
[22:42] <juniorsa> Seveas: no I incremented the serial and restarted bind on both sides and still nothing happened
[22:42] <stepnjump> Hi, yesterday I was working on some files. I can't find them today. I forget their names even! What is this GUI app there that shows on a timeline all the files one had been working on please?
[22:42] <ruleroftheintern> Seveas, will that allow me to run mysql queries?
[22:42] <Seveas> don't restart, do rndc reload and track the notifications
[22:42] <ruleroftheintern> robbbie, thanks for the heads up
[22:42] <Seveas> ruleroftheintern, no. IDE's aren't query browsers or mysql shells...
[22:42] <juniorsa> Seveas: on master
[22:42] <chuck1> vim is simply a text editor, I don't see the rapport with the php/html/css
[22:42] <bullgard6> suppl:  I do not know if this is a strong hint to a bug. In my case there was a repeated try to establish a sharing of the same IRQ so that an intermittent soperating state arose.
[22:43] <robbbie> chuck1: vim is a *programmers* text editor
[22:43] <ruleroftheintern> Seveas, so i'll have to do everything via php like normal, then
[22:43] <bullgard6> -s
[22:43] <suppl> bullgard6, can i post that bit for you, on pastebin or something?
[22:43] <chuck1> robbbie: there are ide to that, stop making the geek of 80's
[22:43] <reapingwo> which additional drivers should I use for 3d acceleration?  I have two options (version current) [Recommended] OR (post-release updates) (version current-updates)
[22:44] <bullgard6> suppl:  Yes. Go ahead.
[22:44] <suppl> Ok, give me a second.
[22:44] <somsip> ruleroftheintern: maybe worth looking at Netbeans if you're okay with large-footprint software
[22:44] <solars> hey, is there something that allows me pushing content to my tv via dlna much like my phone does? I only know mediatomb which is only a server..
[22:46] <juniorsa> seveas: is there anyway to turn up logging to find out why AXFR is not even being attempted?
[22:46] <ruleroftheintern> somsip, will do.  Just looking for a better environment than a text editor , cheers all
[22:48] <shukty> hi I m trying to install Ubuntu 11.10 using A live cd but it can't see windows7 partition it says that all my hd /dev/sda0 is unallocated any idea ?
[22:49] <Jordan_U> shukty: That usually means that you have an invalid partition table. Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?

[23:00] <steve84> hi im running ubuntu 11.10 on my lg r380 laptop and for some reason my mouse stopped working today is there a way to fix this?
[23:00] <Rigorm0rtis> Hello. Installing Ubuntu server, is there a way to manually set the IP settings *during installation* without having to install in expert mode?
[23:00] <aeon-ltd> steve84: tried restarting? basic stuff etc
[23:01] <steve84> aeon-ltd: i resarted but the problem came back again
[23:01] <ai9371> Rigormortis why dont you just freking set them after
[23:01] <ai9371> I mean changing i[ is pretty freking generic
[23:01] <aeon-ltd> steve84: what changed?
[23:02] <y-chrmsm-adam> hei
[23:02] <y-chrmsm-adam> I don't get it
[23:02] <steve84> aeon-ltd: the mouse still doesnt work after i restart
[23:02] <aeon-ltd> steve84: did you install/remove anything?
[23:02] <y-chrmsm-adam> when I boot LiveUSB the thing is mounted read only, so where does install packages?
[23:03] <steve84> aeon-ltd: i did an update via synaptic
[23:03] <y-chrmsm-adam> is there a way to make a persistence LiveUSB?
[23:03] <Safe_> Grub seems to be failing me (having multiple disks with multiple partitions on each), how can I troubleshoot it?
[23:03] <AciD__> hey
[23:03] <Safe_> It just sits there blinking forever.
[23:03] <humamiaz> i need help with my tplink usb adapter..anybody???
[23:03] <_platypus_> steve84 I go through that when I unplug my mouse while using that evil Microsoft stuff. If I unplug my mouse, I can't get it to work again under Ubuntu.
[23:03] <y-chrmsm-adam> anyone knows about this?
[23:04] <steve84> _platypus_: my problem is with the built in mouse not a usb mouse
[23:04] <Rigorm0rtis> ai9371, because eucalyptus installed as part of ubuntu enterprise cloud statically records the DHCP IP address it gets during installation and when I have to change it afterwords I had to deregister and then re-register my clusters and nodes and it's annoying.  When trying to use Virtualbox, dkms keeps telling me it can't build the module against this version.  If I disable my mouse (either of them), they literally will not work or be recognized by Ubuntu at all.
[23:07] <pangolin> y-chrmsm-adam: We are all humans and we all follow the !guidelines
[23:07] <pangolin> !guidelines
[23:07] <y-chrmsm-adam> humans get frustrated once in a blue moon
[23:08] <pangolin> y-chrmsm-adam: ok, there is no blue moon predicted for the next 1000 years.
[23:08] <y-chrmsm-adam> pangolin: did you refer to this?? --> Burn your CD or create a bootable USB stick
[23:08] <Cirehpsa> Don't mean to be a boher but I'm trying to get ubuntu to support 32bit executables and google told me to "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs" but that didn't work and other results are just beating around the bush... :XXXXXXXX
[23:09] <owenll> y-chrmsm-adam: UNetBootin is pretty straightforward to create persistent usb installation
[23:09] <Safe_> y-chrmsm-adam: I guess you mean me, and yes, is that not what you want?
[23:10] <y-chrmsm-adam> Safe_: to create this structure for a LiveUSB /dev/loop0 on /rofs type squashfs (ro,noatime) /dev/sdc on /cdrom type iso9660 (ro,noatime) is patently retarded, don't u agree??
[23:10] <almoxarife> Cirehpsa: trying to install what?
[23:11] <Cirehpsa> 32bit dependancies?
[23:11] <Cirehpsa> not exactly sure
[23:11] <Safe_> y-chrmsm-adam: To be fair, I just followed the guide and it worked perfectly for me, using this as we speak on a computer without even a hard-drive.
[23:11] <almoxarife> Cirehpsa: you are trying to install what that needs those dependencies?
[23:11] <y-chrmsm-adam> great, so now I need to go out, get yet ANOTHER usb flash to create a sane LiveUSB from a flawed LiveUSB??  <-- 1rst World Problemo
[23:11] <Cirehpsa> oh some game engine
[23:12] <Safe_> y-chrmsm-adam: Why not use the same flash drive?
[23:12] <y-chrmsm-adam> Safe_: so what does mount show to you??
[23:12] <Cirehpsa> almoxarife "it looks like your main problem is that you don't have support for 32-bit executables. If you install that, it should work."
[23:12] <y-chrmsm-adam> my flash drive is 8GB, 700MB for the retarded odd ISO LiveUSB format and 7.3GB wasted.
[23:12] <almoxarife> Cirehpsa: got you, some engine
[23:13] <Cirehpsa> :P
[23:13] <y-chrmsm-adam> I need a solution
[23:13] <Cirehpsa> re'npy
[23:13] <Cirehpsa> ren'py
[23:13] <almoxarife> Cirehpsa: that was a response to what post?
[23:13] <Cirehpsa> that's the engine
[23:14] <y-chrmsm-adam> hey I need a soluiton
[23:14] <almoxarife> Cirehpsa: alrighty, then lets stick to that response, you need 32 bit support for those ............. blah.... blah
[23:15] <Cirehpsa> yeah
[23:16] <redrocket> using sudo update-alternatives --config python .  choose 2.6, system accepts it, go to terminal type 'python'  displays 2.7. what gives?
[23:17] <ramon> What I'd like to know is if there's a way to bring back the classic Ubuntu UI to to 11.10.
[23:17] <Cirehpsa> almoxarife: I tried this http://www.markusbe.com/2009/09/about-running-32-bit-programs-on-64-bit-ubuntu-and-shared-libraries/ but the very first line gave me nothing
[23:17] <Jordan_U> !notunity | ramon
[23:18] <ramon> Thanks.
[23:18] <reapingwo> why does the ubuntu software center sometimes offer outdated versions of programs?
[23:19] <MonkeyDust> reapingwo  sudo apt-get update helps
[23:20] <Jordan_U> reapingwo: What is the output of "which python"?
[23:20] <reapingwo> in particular, playonlinux.  ubuntu software center only has 3.8.  current is 4.0.14
[23:20] <Jordan_U> reapingwo: Sorry, that was meant for redrocket
[23:20] <reapingwo> jordan, np, I figured :)
[23:20] <redrocket> I'm sorry what do you mean?
[23:21] <humamiaz> mon0 is on channel -1, but the AP uses channel 6  any help?
[23:21] <redrocket> like when I type python in terminal?
[23:21] <redrocket> ahh nvm sorry  :)
[23:21] <redrocket> /usr/local/bin/python
[23:22] <Jordan_U> redrocket: That's your own compiled version.
[23:23] <redrocket> so I need to symlink python to?
[23:23] <redrocket> or is that wrong?
[23:23] <teemo> hi, im trying to create a bootable windows 7 usb on ubuntu, i have the iso file, but i can use unetbootin, since it no longer supprts ntfs formatted usbs, and i cant run an older version of it which did 494, my question is, how else on ubuntu can i create a bootable usb from an iso?
[23:24] <Oer> teemo, to create a win7 usb, use the tools on the ms website.
[23:24] <teemo> im running ubuntu 11.10
[23:24] <kfizz> I'm setting up a box to be a MySQL server and NAS for my office and I'm trying to decide between Ubuntu and Windows as the OS. Most of the clients accessing the NAS will be Windows comps. Would it be faster to use a Windows OS with the NTFS as opposed to a Linux box with ext4 and samba?
[23:25] <teemo> i meant ubuntu tools, since i dont have windows system on hand
[23:26] <kaddi>  i have a problem with my narwhale.. when I plug in the headphones the speakers don't get turned off... The sound is transmitted through my normal speakers and the headphone at the same time. I need to go to alsamixer and turn off the sound for the speakers manually
[23:26] <kaddi> every time I use the sound control, the speakers get turned up to full sound again
[23:26] <Jordan_U> redrocket: The problem is that update-alternatives changes the link in /usr/bin/python, but /usr/local/bin/ is before /usr/bin/ in your $PATH. I'm not sure what the best way to solve this problem is in your case, but it might make things clearer if you explained why you want a specific version of python for when running "python", and why you have your own compiled version of python at all.
[23:27] <Jordan_U> teemo: Even though you're using Ubuntu to make the USB, this is really a question for ##windows.
[23:27] <redrocket> bbasically I borked up installing 2.7 which is what I need to use for a specific program. I didn't do an altinstall of it.  so everything works basically..
[23:28] <redrocket> but I need to 2.6 as I dont want to install all of the modules again for 2.7
[23:28] <Jordan_U> redrocket: What program?
[23:29] <redrocket> can I pm you jordan?
[23:29] <root_> hello my name is core im from brasil I love linux
[23:29] <Jordan_U> redrocket: I would prefer to keep the conversation in-channel, but if you can't follow because of the busyness of #ubuntu you may pm me.
[23:30] <root_> kernel 3.0
[23:30] <root_> show
[23:30] <budmang> anyone in that can help with a dual monitor setup? I just goy my OLD PCI rage card working.. ubuntu sees the 2nd card(intel onboard)... but I just cant seem to get it to work..
[23:30] <budmang>  http://pastebin.com/hWFKnpMX xorg.conf     and   varlog http://pastebin.com/zL1s2JZx
[23:30] <redrocket> thats okay.  I'm using a ga-bot that was coded in 2.7. However, I have pyopencl and a bunch of other stuff installed in 2.6.
[23:31] <redrocket> when I try to install modules in 2.7 it gives me errors,
[23:31] <redrocket> so I tried to link back to 2.6 where all the modules are installed and it gives me errors
[23:31] <redrocket> I'm in over my head a bit here  .:)
[23:32] <redrocket> the erros saying modules dont exist, but it's looking in 2.7 for them
[23:32] <redrocket> tried to shebang the file, not working, even though 2.6 is installed and the modules are there
[23:32] <stepnjump> I had a file yesterday on my both computers (synchronized with ubuntu one) and today I found out that the file is deleted on both computers. My question is twofold. 1- Is Ubuntu one safe to use? 2- How can I look at the audit trail to find out up until when the file was in my computer. Any app like that on ubuntu either at the terminal or in X. Thanks for your help in this.
[23:34] <redrocket> jordan, as an example,  importing pyopencl as cl errors out saying module doesn't exist
[23:35] <Oer> stepnjump, check ~/.cache/ubuntuone/log
[23:35] <stepnjump> thanks a lot Oer
[23:35] <Cirehpsa> how do I go about installing multilib in ubuntu?
[23:36] <ibodi> is it possible to have 11.10 left top-to-bottom menu bar dash always on? or new windows opened default left position not hide the bar
[23:36] <Cirehpsa> actually wait
[23:36] <ibodi> actually i feel better about the design of unity nowadays.
[23:37] <Jordan_U> redrocket: Can you link to this ga-bot? What does it do? There might be alternatives which would not cause these issues, and it sounds like the ideal thing for you to do is remove your compiled version of python, along with any other work-arounds you've tried, and go back to Ubuntu provided packages.
[23:38] <redrocket> Jordan_U that's kind of what I was thinking as for the compiled packages. ty for your help. I'm going to work on that a bit.
[23:38] <Jordan_U> redrocket: You're welcome.
[23:38] <Oer> ibodi you can set it in my-unity > http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/11/myunity-is-a-small-simple-unity-tweaking-tool/
[23:39] <stepnjump> Oer, what is this X app there that comes with ubuntu that allows you to see all the .odt or text files or whatever that a user has worked on in the past week. I forget what it was called.... any idea?
[23:39] <Safe_> I know this is a bit messy, but grub is giving me a hard time, hence the mess. But it wont boot at all, just sits at root blinking.
[23:39] <Safe_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/794381/
[23:39] <Safe_> agh, http://paste.ubuntu.com/794381/ - bootinfo
[23:39] <Oer> stepnjump, zeitgeist ?
[23:40] <stepnjump> that's it! thanks oer
[23:40] <Oer> yw
[23:40] <urgodfather> can someone please help me figure out why my wireless keyboard/mouse combo isnt working properly?
[23:40] <urgodfather> omg zeitgeist was awesome
[23:41] <ibodi> oer thanks reading ...
[23:41] <Safe_> Somehow I think grub messes up the /sd# and it chooses the wrong one and just sits there instead.
[23:41] <Jordan_U> Safe_: Do you get this blinking cursor at boot even when the Pen Drive is not plugged in?
[23:42] <Safe_> Jordan_U: Yes.
[23:42] <teemo> Jordan_U: How would windows users, have knowledge of ubuntu tools/methods? Even thought I am trying to create a windows bootable usb, im trying to do it  on ubuntu. So if i were trying to create a bootable mac usb, would it be a question for #mac?
[23:44] <ibodi> what does this page indicates: https://friendly.ubuntu.com/11.10/Acer/Aspire%205750G/I:D7z5Cp:E4:I8g:Ui:BEfp:vc:BHe:Uj:BEfp:k:B5G:Ovk:BF7/devices/
[23:44] <ramon> Teemo, have you asked at the #Windows yet?
[23:44] <Oer> teemo, windows7 needs its own creator
[23:44] <Jordan_U> teemo: This is irc.freenode.net, most of the users (including those in ##windows) are familiar with GNU/Linux. Ubuntu has no tools specifically for creating bootable Windows USBs, nor does it have any tools for creating bootable OSX USBs. Therefore anything you do is going to require a lot of manual work involving much more knowlage of Windows (or OSX) than of GNU/Linux.
[23:45] <d1g1ta1> why isn't my static ip working when I set ifconfig <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> up and route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>?
[23:45] <ibodi> will 24Jan 11.10.4 build works for acer aspire 5750g ? i currently can not install 11.10 into my acer
[23:45] <d1g1ta1> I can ping ip addresses on the internet but dns isn't working
[23:45] <urgodfather> would anyone be willing to help me figure out why my wireless keyboard/mouse combo isnt working properly?
[23:45] <robbbie> urgodfather: interference ?
[23:46] <d1g1ta1> urgodfather:  batteries?
[23:46] <spacebug-> d1g1ta1: you need to set dns server in /etc/resolv.conf
[23:46] <kaddi> anyone can help me with a sound issue for my headphones?
[23:46] <urgodfather> negative
[23:46] <urgodfather> mouse works if less than 1 ft from ir device keyboard is useless
[23:47] <urgodfather> tested in winblows, works fine
[23:47] <freko28> hi all
[23:47] <Monroe> HI!
[23:48] <stepnjump> Oer, I might look like a total idiot but ... How can I invoke zeitgeist.. I know I have it on my system but can't figure out on how to invoke it
[23:49] <stepnjump> Never mind.. found it... sorry
[23:49] <Oer> stepnjump, all you have to do is open 10 webpages, 10 documents and 10 photo's, and you should see this in history
[23:50] <urgodfather> can i just d/l the win drivers and wrap in ndiswrapper? or, is that just for nics?
[23:50] <d1g1ta1> spacebug-: thanks.  what if I wanted to do this in /etc/sysconfig/network/config ?
[23:51] <ramon> ndiswrapper is for network (ethernet)
[23:51] <freko28> I've installed openVPN on my ubuntu server and I actualy use it on my personal computer (ubuntu 10.04) with openVPN client. Can I lauch 2 firefox session in the same time on the client, one with eth0 and the second with tun0?
[23:51] <spacebug-> d1g1ta1: don't know. I have not such file/dir
[23:52] <Oer> urgodfather, did you try an other port for the usb-transmitter? or try reconnect with the button(s) on the keyboard + transmitter
[23:53] <urgodfather> Oer, yep
[23:53] <stepnjump> I am swamped with thigs to do and my computers are acting weird today.. I keep loosing my external mouse on my netbook! weird
[23:53] <d1g1ta1> spacebug-: can I just copy the ifcfg.lo to ifcgf.eth0 ?
[23:54] <stepnjump> oer, this is weird, I can see the activity journal on my desktop in accessories but cannot find this on my netbook, yet when I try to install zeitgeist on my notebook, it says it's already installed!
[23:54] <Safe_> What is the difference between placing Grub into 'sdc' and 'sdc7'?
[23:55] <stepnjump> Can anyone tell me if ubuntu one is safe for files or will it loose files every so often!?
[23:55] <ramon> Safe: sdc is the Hard drive, sdc7 is a partition in your hard drive.
[23:55] <urgodfather> ramon, thanks... is there an alternative to it for other win drivers?
[23:56] <d1g1ta1> stepnjump: never, ever, put important files you cannot afford to lose in just one place
[23:56] <ramon> urgodfather: I don't recommend installing win drivers on Ubuntu.  Have you checked the vendor website for Linux drivers?
[23:57] <bs> how to ping ip from ubuntu?
[23:57] <urgodfather> ramon: its a logitech... they don't have any, and you would assume that it would work fine but... negative ghost rider
[23:57] <spacebug-> d1g1ta1: again I have no such files. I'm using NetworkManager to handle my connections
