[13:39] <funkeyy> Sidewinder1, thanks but right-click doesnt do anything.. theres no dialog opening
[13:39] <oCean> tasha: application specific help for wine is in #winehq
[13:39] <StevenR> jrib: ok....
[13:39] <wols> Reaper: even when you brick it wile changing the firmware?
[13:39] <tasha> alright, how about my second life issue? :c
[13:40] <gabrieltomate> Please, someone send me a "help" channel? I upgrade the system and now i can't switch the monitors... NVidia gforce 7150M; HP DV6000
[13:40] <Reaper> I think.. im not100% because ive never done it myself, but from what I hear and have read ppl have done that
[13:40] <blackcatnekonegr>  Hello, I have trouble with the nvidia driver in ubuntu 10.10, the oned that come by default don’t work, and the one I have in use ruins my display every time I use flash in a web browser. ubuntu-nvidia-settings.desktop says the my driver is 260.19.06. I also seem to have a lot of nvidia releted errors in the logs.
[13:40] <paranormal> im having low resolution problem with my fresh install of xubuntu 11.04 .... help is appreciated
[13:40] <oCean> tasha: contact the maintainers for that package?
[13:41] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, try changing the fonts and text size
[13:41] <Sidewinder1> funkeyy, Try looking in System, under preferrences or Administration for menu, panel, etc...
[13:41] <ThinkT510> paranormal: what resolution do you get, and what resolution are you expecting?
[13:41] <tasha> there are no maintainers lol
[13:42] <tasha> I use a third party viewer :(
[13:42] <oCean> tasha: that still does not make it an #ubuntu issue though
[13:42] <chilversc> ok, how do I move the application bar thing?
[13:42] <airtonix> how do i extract jar files ?
[13:42] <tasha> well I figured Im having the issue (in ubuntu 11.04) therefore it was an ubuntu issue?
[13:43] <tasha> wouldnt make much sense to ask someone who uses fedora to help me with my issue >.>
[13:43] <tsimpson> airtonix: .jar is just a .zip file, so unzip will work (or just rename by adding .zip to the end)
, font size ??
[13:43] <DeltaDrone> I'm having various problems running ubuntu. I'm trying a boot from a disc at the moment. On a desktop machine, it doesn't achieve very much at all (I had difficulty with another version of ubuntu on this machine before). It gets to teh initial boot up screen (with the boot options) but then i just get a blanc screen with a flashing cursor while the cd drive revs and seeks
[13:43] <paranormal> u not getting my problem ,,, the screen reso is max at 1024 x 768 .... on my 19" widescreen monitor
[13:43] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, yeah, that will help if you see things too small
[13:44] <chilversc> as I'd quite like the application bar to display on the left rather than in the middle
[13:44] <ThinkT510> paranormal: what graphics card do you have?
[13:44] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, and what screen resolution do you want?
[13:44] <paranormal> i used to get 1440 x 900 .... i have an onboard intel card .... intel 865 chipset
[13:44] <StevenR> wols, jrib: when it freezes, mouse still moves, but clicking and keyboard have no effect. All the processes still see to be running. Switching back to the vt with X11 on it gives me whatever was on my tty vt, plus a moving cursor
[13:44] <Sidewinder1> DeltaDrone, Booting from LiveCD usually takes a few minutes as it must access the CDromdrive.
[13:45] <jrib> StevenR: check ~/.xsession-errors, /var/log/Xorg.0.log, dmesg
[13:45] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, well, what video card do you have?
[13:45] <paranormal> onboard intel 865G
[13:45] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal,  does that video card steal ram from your PC or has its own ram?
[13:46] <airtonix> tsimpson: unfortunately while you may be able to do that, it won't work for a java.jar program
[13:46] <DeltaDrone> Sidewinder1, yes, it takes several minutes and then eventually lays dormant. one time i got a purple desktop, with moving cursor, one time i got a blank screen with moving cursor. In both cases, the cursor would not do anything when clicked
[13:46] <paranormal> how do i find that out ??
[13:46] <jrib> airtonix: it should
[13:46] <airtonix> jrib: i;ve found that i actually need jar to properly do it
[13:46] <tsimpson> airtonix: java uses .jar automatically, you don't extract it. but if you want to look at the files, it is a zip
[13:46] <compdoc> if the video card is onboard, then it is using the system's ram
[13:47] <paranormal> yeah the card is onboard
[13:47] <airtonix> tsimpson: actually if you want to get at the files inside you do need to extract it
[13:47] <Sidewinder1> DeltaDrone, Unless you're getting some sort of error message I don't think I can be of much help. :-(
[13:47] <DeltaDrone> hmm, perhaps there is a verbose boot mode which will give me an error message?
[13:47] <Sidewinder1> DeltaDrone, What version?
[13:47] <chilversc> hmm, how do I make the application bar show when a window partly overlaps the area it would normally display?
[13:47] <pratz> hey guys what is the font which is used in ubuntu 11.04 (default) ??
[13:48] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, well google about that video card or check the bios, if there is an option of giving ram to the video card enabled your card probably steals rams from your PC. I am asking because with those type of cards is unwise to ask to much.
[13:48] <DeltaDrone> erm, the very latest, 11.04 i think
[13:48] <pratz> i want to use it but can not find the name of the font
[13:48] <DeltaDrone> i only just got it of the website
[13:48] <Sidewinder1> DeltaDrone, And the make/model of your system?
[13:48] <blackcatnekonegr> And ubuntu 11.04 has got know problems with those video cards
[13:48] <aGamingDaddy> Help needed on usb-linux installation http://paste.ubuntu.com/655118/
[13:48] <DeltaDrone> Erm, well the mobo is a gigabyte with an x48 chipset
[13:48] <chilversc> oh nevermind, I have to move my mouse all the way to the left edge of the screen, then all the way back to the middle of the screen where the bar is displaying :s
[13:49] <DeltaDrone> the proc is a core2 duo 3.0Ghz
[13:49] <DeltaDrone> 4GHz DDR 1200 ram
[13:49] <DeltaDrone> i assembled it myself though
[13:49] <paranormal> i used to get the desired reso on windows .... and i guess u are right ... i remember seeing the memory option in bios ... its set to 32 i guess
[13:49] <Sidewinder1> DeltaDrone, Did you run MD5sum on the iso image that you downloaded? Prior to burning?
[13:50] <pratz> hey guys what is the font which is used in ubuntu 11.04 (default) ??
[13:50] <StevenR> jrib: dmesg showed up lots of wireless events, but nothing display related. .xsession-errors shows a few events of Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so (but there isn't a piece of nvidia hardware in this laptop).. X.org.log.old (the one I was writing to when the problem occurred shows only one EE line, relating to the wireless mouse receiver during startup, but nothing more.
[13:50] <paranormal> blackcatnekonegr , is there ne way around ?
[13:50] <Sidewinder1> !who | DeltaDrone
[13:51] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, its unwise to force the generic video card in ubuntu 11.x get a better video card.
[13:51] <jrib> StevenR: are you using unity?
[13:51] <nstridesout> corrected the software center problem
[13:51] <xangua> pratz: ubuntu font
[13:51] <Error404NotFound> italoxp: its "killall unity-2d-launcher", figured it out.
[13:51] <StevenR> jrib: no
[13:51] <krazykrivda> using the 'rename' command how can i replace all . (periods) with something
[13:51] <DeltaDrone> Sidewinder1, sorry, I ran an md5 check on teh image after burning actually, but it checked out ok
[13:51] <jrib> StevenR: what are you using?
[13:52] <DeltaDrone> Sidewinder1, and the disc was verified by the burner
[13:52] <StevenR> jrib: "Classic" mode
[13:52] <Error404NotFound> italoxp: after that launcher comes back by itself, though some icons are just blackboxes.
[13:52] <paranormal> my machine is a pretty old one ... it has AGP slot ..... i had a nvidia 128 mb (gefore 5200 or something) video card .... i blew it recently .... :-(
[13:52] <jrib> krazykrivda: rename -n s#\.#something#g FILES_LISTED_HERE
[13:52] <astraljava> krazykrivda: In terminal, try `mv \.<tab> <somefilename>`
[13:52] <nstridesout> anyone configured bigblu button on ubuntu server?
[13:52] <goodtime> pratz: the default is 12sans
[13:52] <DeltaDrone> Sidewinder1, I have a different problem with the same disc on my laptop, a kind of checkered patter appears over the top and left of the screen
[13:53] <chilversc> actually, I should be happy that my only complaint is the unity launcher is in a stupid place, at least I now have working graphics
[13:53] <StevenR> jrib: this laptop has been running natty for a while, with classic all the time (apart from a couple of periods of experimentation)... this freezing issue only started occuring quite recently
[13:53] <paranormal> 1024 x 768 on a wide screen is ver troublesome for me .... is there ne way around ?
[13:53] <Sidewinder1> DeltaDrone, Well then, I'm afraid your issues may go a little beyond my expertise, if one could call it that.... Sorry....Perhaps someone more knowleagable will "chime-in".
[13:53] <jrib> StevenR: any recent upgrades?
[13:53] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, alternately, you can give the card more ram in the bios and force the display to the one you want editing xorg.conf, but thats playing with fire and I dont recomend it.
[13:53] <wols> paranormal: check your Xorg.0.log
[13:53] <dr_willis> paranormal:  for my older box's i had to get the proper drivers installed befor they would do wide screen correctly
[13:54] <aGamingDaddy> Help needed with crashed usb installation http://paste.ubuntu.com/655118/
[13:54] <StevenR> jrib: hardware, no. Software, when it prompts me. I installed a couple of softwre packages (a game that I haven't played since last weekend)
[13:54] <DeltaDrone> Sidewinder1, :< oh well, thanks any way
[13:54] <Sidewinder1> DeltaDrone, But, to me, it sounds like a driver issue.
[13:54] <paranormal> dr_willis , how do i do that
[13:55] <astraljava> krazykrivda: Actually, shouldn't even need the backslash.
[13:55] <paranormal> hmm .... actually in my install xorg.conf was not there by default ... Xorg -configure in recovery mode dint work either
[13:55] <DeltaDrone> Sidewinder1, I have another question, which is to do with my partial success on my laptop: I'm trying to access a disk externally over usb which was the internal hard disk for a macbook...
[13:55] <StevenR> jrib: I'm just having a read of dpkg.log
[13:55] <jrib> StevenR: and the freezes seem to happen randomly?  No common action you can think of?
[13:55] <paranormal> i manually created it and made the settings
[13:55] <theadmin> DeltaDrone: So, you need hfsprogs
[13:55] <DeltaDrone> Sidewinder1, in principle it works, but there are some protected folders and I don't know how to move on with those
[13:56] <paranormal> it did improve the refresh rate from a max 61 Hz to 85Hz ... the reso is still low
[13:56] <krazykrivda> jrib: astraljava: i have files named   com.androind.xxx.png
[13:56] <rileyp> oew irsend work with the mceusb in natty as I cant seem to get my led to flash
[13:56] <jrib> krazykrivda: yes?
[13:56] <krazykrivda> i want ot mass rename so the "." are replaced with _
[13:56] <DeltaDrone> theadmin, hfsprogs is already installed?
[13:56] <wols> paranormal: do you use a TFT or a CRT?
[13:56] <blackcatnekonegr> ello, I have trouble with the nvidia driver in ubuntu 10.10, the oned that come by default don’t work, and the one I have in use ruins my display every time I use flash in a web browser. ubuntu-nvidia-settings.desktop says the my driver is 260.19.06. I also seem to have a lot of nvidia releted errors in the logs. I want help to install another nvidia driver and to fix the errors.
[13:56] <rileyp> Does irsend work with the mceusb in natty as I cant seem to get my led to flash
[13:56] <astraljava> krazykrivda: Ahh... misuderstood that the filename is nothing but periods.
[13:56] <jrib> krazykrivda: yes, I gave you the command
[13:56] <theadmin> DeltaDrone: Okay, "protected folders"? I'm not familiar with Macs, I just know they're ugly. Explain what those are.
[13:56] <paranormal> TFT  ....
[13:56] <krazykrivda> jrib: the command you gave makes the entire filename ___________
[13:56] <pratz> xangua: how can i download it ??
[13:56] <paranormal> Viewsonic 19" widescreen
[13:56] <Sidewinder1> DeltaDrone, Although, if you're having the relatively same problem on two machines, I would suggest you start the entire process of downloading/Md5summing/burning... Can't hurt.
[13:57] <wols> paranormal: then your refreshrate at 85Hz is wrong and counterproductive
[13:57] <DeltaDrone> well, i click on them in the ui  and it says i don't have access permission
[13:57] <xangua> pratz: google ubuntu font
[13:57] <jrib> krazykrivda: sorry, I forgot the quotes.
[13:57] <jrib> krazykrivda: rename -n 's#\.#something#g' FILES_LISTED_HERE
[13:57] <DeltaDrone> theadmin, <- woops... well, i click on them in the ui  and it says i don't have access permission
[13:57] <theadmin> DeltaDrone: Run this, assuming the Mac drive is mounted to /media/mac: chmod -R 777 /media/mac
[13:57] <paranormal> i dont know ...... my main concern is to get the reso upto 1440 x 900 .... ne ideas ?
[13:57] <DeltaDrone> hmm, yes, i had wondered if that would work
[13:58] <aGamingDaddy> Help needed. Ubuntu won't start. http://paste.ubuntu.com/655118/
[13:58] <wols> paranormal: I asked you for something which you have ignored until now
[13:58] <StevenR> jrib: they don't happen when I'm using it, it's a "when I come back to it" event
[13:58] <krazykrivda> jrib: awesome thank you so mcuh!  i didn't have the '\' so it kept only replacing 1st char
[13:58] <DeltaDrone> theadmin: I thought it might be password protected as well, but maybe not
[13:58] <blackcatnekonegr> aGamingDaddy, have you tried reinstall?
[13:58] <dr_willis> aGamingDaddy:  you mean grub wont boot? desktop wont load? gdm wont load?
[13:58] <theadmin> DeltaDrone: Well I dunno, don't think that'd be an issue... idk
[13:58] <DeltaDrone> theadmin, ok, i guess i try chmoding it
[13:59] <paranormal> wols , use TFT ....
[13:59] <jrib> StevenR: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Debugging might have some hints.  My suggestion would be to try a different window manager to rule that out (I don't think it matters).  With classic, are effects still enabled?  Try disabling those to see if it still happens.  Given your last statement, is it screensaver related?
[13:59] <paranormal> i already mentioned it
[13:59] <theadmin> DeltaDrone: Be careful though, it's unlikely that Mac will boot anymore after permissions are modified so evil-ly
[13:59] <aGamingDaddy> dr-willis: It stops during startup
[13:59] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, go to yours bios and give your card as much ram as it can get
[13:59] <paranormal> 32 MB .... i already did that
[13:59] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, honestly it would be way better if you got a real video card
[13:59] <dr_willis> aGamingDaddy:  no init found soulds like the grub configs got messed up. I would start by reinsdtalling grub via a Live-cd
[14:00] <DeltaDrone> theadmin, the computer broke and is ripped to shreds... getting the hard drive out was not straight forwards
[14:00] <aGamingDaddy> dr-willis: ok I have a cd and then
[14:00] <StevenR> jrib: no screensaver, only dpms.
[14:00] <DeltaDrone> theadmin, booting is no longer an issue
[14:00] <dr_willis> DeltaDrone:  had to use the 'jaws of life and a  blowtorch?' ? :)
[14:00] <paranormal> blackcatnekonegr, i want to keep that as the last option
[14:00] <theadmin> DeltaDrone: Okay then :)
[14:00] <DeltaDrone> theadmin, not quite that hard :>
[14:01] <DeltaDrone> theadmin, but it took me a while to discover the propper way
[14:01] <genia> hello
[14:01] <haavard> hello
[14:01] <paranormal> wols ??
[14:01] <genia> can anybody help me with a not booting ubuntu?
[14:01] <wols> paranormal: I asked you something else. and: I strongly suggest to delete your xorg.conf and restart X
[14:01] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, then your only option is doing a backup of xorg.conf and then editing xorg.conf
[14:01] <astraljava> !anyone | genia
[14:02] <theadmin> DeltaDrone: Heh, macs are macs.
[14:02] <dr_willis> genia:  what is it doing exactly.
[14:02] <aGamingDaddy> dr-willis: How do I fix the grub?
[14:02] <dr_willis> !fixgrub
[14:02] <drzero> ubottu, what was it smth like "Don't ask if you can ask - just ask" ?:)
[14:02] <blackcatnekonegr> !fixnvidia
[14:02] <theadmin> drzero: !ask is that factoid
[14:03] <paranormal> blackcatnekonegr, i did add the 1440 x 900 to xorg.conf ...... with the mode line and all .... but for some reason i still dont get it ....
[14:03] <drzero> argh - i need sleep...
[14:03] <blackcatnekonegr> have you reboot?
[14:03] <dr_willis> I sware at one time i saw a Ubuntu live-cd/recovery menu item that tried to auto-fix grub.. or was i  testing out some nonubuntu disrto that day? anyone else ever notice an automated fix-grub item on ubuntu anywhere?
[14:03] <hp_> wols: If you've ever used Android 1.5, I'd love your help on how to export contacts. I've never used Android but I'm trying to help a friend who wants to export his contacts.
[14:04] <ThinkT510> dr_willis: never seen that on any ubuntu, been using since dapper
[14:04] <theadmin> hp_: I have an Android right here, but it's Gingerbread
[14:04] <nstridesout> dr_willis: that was on sled... ;) Sorry!
[14:04] <wols> hp_: and this is ubuntu related how? and no I don't own an android device either
[14:04] <dr_willis> hp_:  mine can export to a file on the sd card.. Not sure about what else other then android can import them.. You an also export them all to  you gmail account I think.
[14:04] <blackcatnekonegr> well, recoveryboot in ubuntu has a fix grub option last time I checked
[14:04] <astraljava> dr_willis: Not me...
[14:04] <tyler_d> still no 3d support for my vidio, nvidia/intel :(
[14:04] <rileyp> doew irsend work with the mceusb in newer kernels (natty) as I cant seem to get my led to flash
[14:04] <hp_> wols: because I use Ubuntu :) So I wanted to connect the device to Ubuntu and import contats from there
[14:04] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, have you reboot?
[14:04] <paranormal> wols .... i for some reason missed ur previous msg .... just checked it again .......... Im current viewing my Xorg.0.log.... what shud i look for ?
[14:04] <drzero> dr_willis, that article is actually pretty dangerous - it doesn't explain the process well enough - if you just follow it
[14:05] <paranormal> yeah .... i already did that
[14:05] <hp_> dr_willis: the problem is, all guides I can find online refer to menus and options that I cannot see on my friend's phone
[14:05] <OerHeks> dr_willis, yes, there is an iso called boot repair, i believe >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[14:05] <dr_willis> drzero:  help make it better - thats what wikis are all about.
[14:05] <hp_> theadmin: I think the versions would be too dfferent
[14:05] <StevenR> jrib: I'll just have to wait until it happens again to get some more info :S
[14:05] <theadmin> hp_: Yeah...
[14:05] <StevenR> can't just "force it" :(
[14:05] <manolitos> hello guyz
[14:05] <manolitos> i want some help pls
[14:05] <jrib> StevenR: make sure you check bugs.ubuntu.com too to see if others are experiencing it
[14:06] <dr_willis> hp_:  for mine. I just went to the phone/contacts and ther ewas a export.. in the menus.. possible its not on the phone. So i would suggest finding some 3rd party app. and asking in #android
[14:06] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, try to reboot in recovery mode
[14:06] <theadmin> manolitos: Just ask.
[14:06] <paranormal> rebooting after editing the xorg.conf just improved the max refresh rate i cud get from 61 to 85
[14:06] <StevenR> jrib: I've not turned anything up yet
[14:06] <blackcatnekonegr> do a pastebin of your xorg.conf
[14:06] <manolitos> i need to know 1 external tv tuner available for ubuntu 10.04
[14:06] <paranormal> blackcatnekonegr , u want me to enter recovery mode ??
[14:06] <theadmin> hp_: Here, "Contacts -> Menu -> Export to SD card"
[14:07] <hp_> theadmin: there is no such option on his phone
[14:07] <drzero> hp_, boot from live cd, open terminal, sudo -s, mount /dev/YOUR_UBUNTU_ROOT /mnt, mount --rbind /dev /mnt/dev, mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc, mount -t sysfs none /mnt/sys, chroot /mnt, grub-install, grub-update, exit, reboot
[14:07] <theadmin> hp_: I know, version differences
[14:07] <paranormal> wols ?
[14:07] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, just try it, then log in, then type startx
[14:07] <oCean> OerHeks: cool, never saw that
[14:07] <theadmin> hp_: If you can get to a root terminal, you can probably just back up the whole / partition ;)
[14:08] <paranormal> ok
[14:08] <hp_> theadmin: seems a bit dangerous
[14:09] <theadmin> hp_: Meh honestly, all I get from my Android when I try to do anything on / is "Access denied: Read-only filesystem", but you might be a bit more lucky
[14:09] <tyler_d> I have pasted my Xorg.0.log and my xorg.conf that failed(generated by nvidia) -- > http://paste.ubuntu.com/655126/   and http://paste.ubuntu.com/655124/
[14:09] <paranormal> no luck
[14:09] <tyler_d> if someone would kindly tell my why I am getting the "no screen found" and how to fix it
[14:10] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, try lowering the refresh rate then change the screen resolution
[14:10] <blackcatnekonegr> tyler_d, have you checked the wires?
[14:11] <tyler_d> blackcatnekonegr: laptop
[14:11] <paranormal> apparently 85Hz is the only option available :-s
[14:11] <wols> tyler_d: and this was set to "discrete" in BIOS?
[14:11] <blackcatnekonegr> tyler_d, you probably have a lose wire, can you see anything on the monitor?
[14:12] <tyler_d> wols: no
[14:12] <tyler_d> blackcatnekonegr: just finished saying its a laptop, yes, with no xorg.conf it boots without 3d support(unity)
[14:12] <paranormal> wols ??
[14:13] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, edit your  xorg.conf to add more options
[14:13] <drzero> Tyler__, looks like you have two GPUs
[14:13] <thomasberends> How can I see which type of networkcard I have?
[14:13] <wols> tyler_d: I say it now for at least the third time: why not doing that?
[14:13] <drzero> tyler_d, I mean
[14:13] <wols> thomasberends: lspci normally
[14:13] <astraljava> thomasberends: `sudo lshw -c network`
[14:13] <blackcatnekonegr> tyler_d, sorry, I am clueless about unity
[14:14] <girl> Using software represitory apps I keep getting this when updating sources (apart from that the update works) "Failed to download http:\\ppa.launchpad.net /main i386 packages" this line twice. Seems like natty does not save ppa's in sources.lst How can I resolve this?
[14:14] <tyler_d> wols: I tried it and could not even get back into X :( with or without the xorg.conf
[14:14] <dr_willis> girl:  they are saved in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/  one per file
[14:14] <DeltaDrone> how do i determine the file system of an external disk that's plugged into my computer
[14:14] <tyler_d> wols: in descrete mode would I get 3d support(supposing I can break it enough to get it working?)
[14:14] <wols> tyler_d: and I told you how to debug it, but you don't want to, so have fun fixing it. good day
[14:15] <girl> dr_willis: Thanks
[14:15] <dr_willis> girl:  the whole 'add stuff to sources.list' method is sort of been phased out. for the sources.list.d method
[14:15] <paranormal> blackcantnekonegr ..... is there some way that i can show u my xorg.conf file ??
[14:15] <airtonix> gvfs-open is missing from default natty install. so how do you open a file explorer in the most desktop agnostic fashion?
[14:15] <girl> So how can I remove the confilcting ppa?
[14:15] <dr_willis> girl:  find the file.. delete it..
[14:15] <girl> I never remember adding such a ppa
[14:15] <tyler_d> wols: you have been more than patient and helpful so if your saying to reboot into that then thats what I will do, brb
[14:15] <girl> dr_willis: will try that
[14:15] <xangua> girl: just go to software centre-edit-sources
[14:15] <astraljava> airtonix: Alt+F2, nautilus ?
[14:15] <blackcatnekonegr> Hello, I need help to do a clean install of the nvidia driver on ubuntu 10.10
[14:16] <theadmin> airtonix: "xdg-open $PWD" should do.
[14:16] <astraljava> airtonix: Places menu, whatever you got there?
[14:16] <airtonix> theadmin: cheers

[14:16] <drzero> girl: grep -l launchpad /etc/apt/sources.d/*
[14:16] <blackcatnekonegr> http://pastebin.com/
[14:16] <drzero> that should tell you which file has that ppa configured
[14:16] <airtonix> astraljava: desktop agnostic.
[14:16] <blackcatnekonegr> or http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/
[14:16] <girl> xangua: can't even find any confilcting line like that, and I use Kubuntu so software sources in kpackagekit all ppa's disabled same error
[14:17] <girl> drzero: trying
[14:17] <astraljava> airtonix: English is not my primary language, sorry about that.
[14:18] <girl> drzero: No such file or directory
[14:18] <blackcatnekonegr> girl, if everything fails, try to reinstall everything, its gonna take a while but might work if you have a broken package
[14:18] <theadmin> airtonix: Heh, that's the most obvious way to me... ANd what the HECK is gvfs-open, at all?
[14:18] <astraljava> airtonix: So, how about `mc`? :D
[14:18] <xangua> blackcatnekonegr: reinstall o_O
[14:18] <girl> blackcatnekoegr: I serriously doubt that this is not about broken package but invalid ppa set up

[14:19] <optimusss> irc.chat.gen.tr
[14:19] <blackcatnekonegr> nvidia drivers are a pain, honest

[14:20] <harovali> hi , how do I tell cups to print in text (no graphics) mode in an EPSON_LX-300+ dot-matrix printer ?
[14:20] <harovali> do I need a special ppd ?
[14:20] <wols> tyler_d: so which drivers is X currently using?
[14:21] <girl> dr_willis: is it safe to delete all except those I need and then ppas that I am sure work?
[14:21] <tyler_d> wols:  the nvidia from bumblebee ppa
[14:21] <wols> tyler_d: which is what version exactly?
[14:21] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal:, do you know about how to force display?
[14:22] <blackcatnekonegr> nvidia drivers are such a pain, that they do need a detailed guide
[14:22] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, forgot to ask, what gui do you use?
[14:22] <drzero> girl: under /etc/apt/sources.list.d pretty much everything is safe to remove
[14:22] <avinashhm> Hi friends, just wanted to know if there is any utility which displays multiple timezones .. in a nice gui manner ..
[14:22] <paranormal> blackcatnekonegr im familiar with xrandr
[14:22] <theadmin> avinashhm: Orage
[14:22] <girl> drzero: ok
[14:22] <drzero> girl: base distro repositories live in /etc/apt/sources.list still
[14:23] <paranormal> blackcantnekonegr : im using XFCE on xubuntu 11.04
[14:23] <tyler_d> wols: what was the apt list command again please ?
[14:23] <wols> tyler_d: dpkg -l |grep nvidia
[14:23] <wols> and apt-cache policy <package>
[14:23] <girl> drzeror: some ppa's are needed for me like kubuntu backports
[14:23] <xangua> backports are not ppa
[14:23] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, do another backup of xorg.conf and try to force display, then prepare for your PC crashing
[14:23] <drzero> girl: well keep those then :)
[14:24] <pheonixman> does anyone know how to get rid of the "elapsed time" that shows in the top leftmost corner of the screen in SMPlayer ?
[14:24] <paranormal> blackcantnekonegr : im willing to risk that .... u see its a new install .... not much to loose :-D
[14:24] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, then do it
[14:25] <avinashhm> theadmin, looks like orage can't support multiple timezones ..i want to view india time, texas time and france time all together .. seems not possible in orage ..
[14:25] <tyler_d> wols: just noting everything, will let you know, want to catch the logs
[14:25] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, force the refresh rate to 60, and the size to the one you wanted
[14:25] <DeltaDrone> can any one recomend something for mounting linux partitions in windows?
[14:25] <paranormal> blackcantnekonegr : ok
[14:25] <girl> xangua: Kubuntu with K specific backports is ppa
[14:25] <szal> DeltaDrone: no, it's utter cr*p
[14:26] <wols> DeltaDrone: fs-driver.org
[14:26] <girl> maintained by Kubuntu devs though so official ppa
[14:26] <xangua> mm to much ppa's  today :S
[14:26] <bastidrazor> pheonixman: press o twice
[14:26] <girl> drzero: It worked thanks :d Can you explain more how al those ppa text files work?
[14:27] <blackcatnekonegr> DeltaDrone, honestly that is a bad idea, but if you want http://www.howtoforge.com/access-linux-partitions-from-windows
[14:27]  * szal has used two different Ext drivers for Windows in the past, both are prone to causing data loss
[14:27] <pheonixman> bastidrazor, thanks a lot dude....you saved my day...i have been finding this all day...may i know from where did u find this..?
[14:28] <bastidrazor> pheonixman: in a terminal type 'man mplayer'  there is a list of keyboard shortcuts on the 2nd page
[14:28] <blackcatnekonegr>  DeltaDrone, you are better botton a livecd, or usb linux just to read the particions, copy data and that
[14:28] <blackcatnekonegr> *booting
[14:29] <blackcatnekonegr>  DeltaDrone,, that way is safe, and honest, every pc nowdays has a cd/dvd drive or a usb port.
[14:29] <paranormal> blackcantnekonegr : I get "" xrandr:Failed to get size of gamma for output default ""
[14:29] <pheonixman> bastidrazor, thank you very much
[14:29] <pheonixman> :)
[14:29] <mang0> I'm going camping, cya guys :)
[14:29] <bastidrazor> pheonixman: you're welcome
[14:31] <yawnie> ok i finally made my acer to boot from ubuntu CD, but at initialization, it popped out error: "acer-wmi: unable to detect available wmid devices"
[14:31] <DeltaDrone> bah, ok, not through windows, this is just stressing me out, i'm affraid i'm actually useing suse linux atm, but i'm trying to mount this disk so that i have write permission to it
[14:31] <DeltaDrone> its a hard drive from an old mac though
[14:31] <wols> DeltaDrone: then go into a suse channel for help. goodbye
[14:32] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, I told you that usually fails, now you can pick from the 60 mhz backup or the 85 mhz one. Well I dunno, maybe someone else can help you. Ubuntu 11.x is veru unfriendly with generic video cards that steal ram.
[14:32] <DeltaDrone> i started in ubuntu, but couldn't get that to work, but probably faid advice any how
[14:33] <pr0ton> my thunderbird doesnt open
[14:33] <pr0ton> after i installed mailtweak
[14:33] <pr0ton> how do i run it?
[14:33] <blackcatnekonegr> pr0ton, try to reinstall thunderbird
[14:33] <paranormal> blackcantnekonegr :  i just checked ... i successfully created the new mode .... now the problem is how to add mode and select that
[14:34] <wols> pr0ton: start thunderbird from an xterm. and reinstalling usually won't help since the settings and the extensions are installed in your ~
[14:35] <blackcatnekonegr> paranormal, sorry I use gnome, so maybe someone else can help you
[14:35] <paranormal> blackcantnekonegr : ok .... thanks ne ways
[14:35] <pr0ton> wols, is there any default profile i can use?
[14:35] <pr0ton> like launching in safe mode or someting?

[14:49] <ThinkT510> yes
[14:49] <BluesKaj> sw0rdfish, suposedly yes
[14:49] <bullgard4_> sw0rdfish: Yes.
[14:49] <sw0rdfish> WoW NICE!
[14:49] <drzero> sw0rdfish, it does, though it is funky, TeamViewer for Linux is distributed with its own WINE runtime and in fact it runs Windows binary
[14:50] <sw0rdfish> didn't think so, was gonna use a win7 laptop to use it
[14:50] <BluesKaj> sw0rdfish, just don't try it on a large scrn ...the graphics are dinky small

[15:01] <captain-crunch> is anyone in this chat alive?
[15:01] <adubz> http://paste.scsys.co.uk/127711    <---having trouble getting the desired output i want
[15:02] <JLUC> hello
[15:02] <captain-crunch> h.low
[15:02] <JLuc> i am beginner !
[15:02] <captain-crunch> so i am
[15:03] <JLuc> i want to access a USB hard disk from command line
[15:03] <oCean> adubz: something like this:  echo -e "$(date) \c"  then the following command should have its output in same line
[15:04] <captain-crunch> me gusta @ smelling own farts
[15:04] <oCean> captain-crunch: please stay on topic
[15:05] <adubz> ocean im new to perl can you provide example
[15:05] <captain-crunch> sry
[15:05] <ThinkT510> JLuc: sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mountpoint
[15:05] <oCean> adubz: I did not know it was perl, my answer was a shell (bash) example
[15:05] <ThinkT510> JLuc: then cd /mountpoint
[15:05] <JLuc> sdXY like this or replace with some value ?
[15:06] <yeats> JLuc: if you're running desktop ubuntu, the USB will be located in /media/name-of-USB-device
[15:06] <JLuc> there is only 'apt' in /media
[15:06] <JLuc> and apt is empty rep
[15:06] <yeats> (it typically automounts)
[15:06] <ThinkT510> JLuc: replace with the name of the device
[15:06] <JLuc> system is in bad state : no desktop only command line
[15:07] <JLuc> is 'apt the name of the device then ?'
[15:07] <yeats> JLuc: do 'dmesg | tail', which should give you the device name
[15:07] <captain-crunch> where i do learn about kernel an stuff?
[15:07] <ThinkT510> JLuc: you could sudo fdisk -l
[15:08] <ThinkT510> captain-crunch: learn from the source: http://www.kernel.org/ or try kernel newbies
[15:08] <JLuc> dmesg says a lot but where is device name ?
[15:09] <captain-crunch> obviously, thx!
[15:09] <yeats> JLuc: try 'sudo fdisk -l' as ThinkT510 suggested
[15:09] <JLuc> ok
[15:09] <captain-crunch> bye than!
[15:09] <JLuc> i got /dev/sdb1
[15:10] <JLuc> but that is internal HD isnt ?
[15:10] <yeats> JLuc: hate to be obvious, but the USB is plugged in?
[15:10] <JLuc> yes !
[15:10] <ThinkT510> JLuc: how many harddrives do you have?
[15:10] <JLuc> wait there are more
[15:10] <JLuc> one internal hd with sys
[15:11] <JLuc> one external usb HD i want to save on
[15:11] <ThinkT510> JLuc: also fdisk should report the size of the disks too
[15:11] <JLuc> yes
[15:11] <altin> hello can anyone tell me how can I remove the WGETRC that i have used earlier
[15:11]  * yeats suggests using a live CD for this
[15:11] <ThinkT510> JLuc: then /dev/sdb is likely the external drive
[15:11] <JLuc> dev/sda1 boot linux
[15:11] <JLuc> 2 extended
[15:12] <JLuc> 5 linux swap solaris
[15:12] <JLuc> ok
[15:12] <JLuc> sot to copy to external i do
[15:12] <JLuc> cp -r *.* /dev/sdb
[15:12] <JLuc> frome user rep
[15:13] <ThinkT510> JLuc: make sure /dev/sdb1 is mounted somewhere so you can copy to it
[15:13] <ThinkT510> JLuc: you copy to the mountpoint, not the devicename
[15:13] <JLuc> how do i check if mounted ?
[15:13] <JLuc> if usefull : there is only empty rep 'apt' in /media
[15:14] <ThinkT510> JLuc: is anything on sdb1 already?
[15:14] <manolitos> guyz i want to install 1 tv tuner i got ! any1 can help me?
[15:14] <JLuc> sorry but how do i go into sdb1 ?
[15:15] <ThinkT510> !tv | manolitos
[15:16] <JLuc> there is a file named /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1
[15:16] <ThinkT510> JLuc: i get the feeling this will get longwinded, it may be quicker to just use a livecd to do this (as somebody already suggested)
[15:17] <JLuc> right :-)
[15:17] <JLuc> i got a lot to learn on linux !
[15:17] <JLuc> i try livecd now
[15:17] <wols> JLuc: no need to tell us. we can already tell

[15:20] <ubuntuCEO> ThinkT510, no i want to use iphone like a router

[15:23] <elz89> ajmacedo: check out "cydia"
[15:25] <oCean> ubuntuCEO: setting up your iphone has nothing to do with ubuntu. You have been pointed to an iphone channel, please don't continue here
[15:25] <wols> ajmacedo: connect in which way? to do what?
[15:27] <ajmacedo> wols, I'm trying to connect from Vista via DHCP router to Xubuntu
[15:28] <ajmacedo> wols: I've already get success using TightVNC... but the session should be openned
[15:28] <manolitos> thinkT510 could u pls pm me? i need further help
[15:28] <manolitos> pls
[15:29] <wols> ajmacedo: again, connect what kinda of programs and what is the actual problem?
[15:30] <JLuc> hello back
[15:30] <JLuc> live cd ok
[15:30] <JLuc> both disk access ok
[15:31] <JLuc> but saving says "no ritghs"
[15:31] <ajmacedo> wols: no specific programs for while. I just want to open a terminal in windows... then I will change through the users to start a session
[15:31] <wols> "then I will change through the users to start a session" is gibberish. try again
[15:31] <JLuc> i guess i need to elevate my user status
[15:32] <JLuc> or elevate this copy operation status
[15:32] <rabe_> how do I add chromium with UCK?
[15:32] <JLuc> since i am now user 'ubuntu'
[15:33] <JLuc> how do i get access to another users data ?
[15:33] <JLuc> so as to do the save copy
[15:33] <wols> JLuc: sudo
[15:34] <ajmacedo> wols: ok what I want is a way to change between two users, one of them that I connect remotely. Using  TigthVNC the session must be opened before, and  I cannot switch users...
[15:35] <wols> ajmacedo: which one is the vnc server? windows or ubuntu?
[15:36] <ajmacedo> wols: ubuntu, the client runs on Vista
[15:36] <JLuc> i would like to elevat in desktop mode because terminal mode is difficult to master
[15:37] <wols> JLuc: gksudo
[15:37] <wols> ajmacedo: use vino which is built into gnome
[15:37] <albech> trying to define vlans for our company network.. Anyone know a good best-practices for VLAN numbering? Can ports be associated with multiple VLANs or VLAN ranges?
[15:38] <JLuc> thank you very much
[15:38] <JLuc> it seem to do the trick
[15:39] <dr_willis> terminal is not difficult to 'learn' :)
[15:39] <dr_willis> it just takes some reading and practice..
[15:39] <ionite> what does sudo means?
[15:39] <JLuc> sure
[15:39] <dr_willis> 'super user do'  :)
[15:39] <JLuc> mounting is very sepecific
[15:39] <freq9> ionite: SUperuser DO
[15:40] <dr_willis> Mounting is one of those fundamentals  that pays to learn how its working.
[15:40] <JLuc> sure
[15:40] <ionite> so what does super user do means?
[15:40] <dr_willis> 'do somthing as the super user'
[15:40] <dr_willis> !sudo
[15:41] <the[void]> anyone know if theres a fix for usb 3.0 on lucid?  my tty's are getting spammed by "no room on ep ring" errors

[15:41] <freq9> my pulseaudio isn't working anymore and i can't find the reason. already tried to reinstall it but it is still not working.

[15:42] <JLuc> thank you all very much
[15:43] <dr_willis> the[void]:  i was using the 11.04 default, but im not updated to 11.10 for testing. Only message i ever noticd about usb3 was how the drive was not as fast as the usb3 port generic message. I forget the exact wordking.
[15:43] <freq9> is there any logging available for pulseaudio?
[15:44] <helen> I need to find Sir_Konrad
[15:44] <helen> I'm hunting him down.
[15:44] <helen> I need him
[15:44] <helen> He's been here before
[15:44] <oCean> helen: stop that
[15:44] <helen> oCean: Stop what?
[15:44] <helen> There is something i need to tell him.
[15:44] <helen> I wanted to say...
[15:44] <oCean> helen: this is ubuntu support, your comments have nothing to do with this
[15:45] <freq9> oCean: i think it is a bot
[15:45] <freq9> saw something similiar at another channel a few days ago
[15:46] <oCean> freq9: ok, thanks
[15:46] <freq9> yay, helen /msg'd me :)
[15:46] <freq9> "me no bot"
[15:46] <w30> maybe it is an alias for "Peggy" ha!
[15:46] <dr_willis> helen: the memoserv   service can let you leave him a message
[15:47] <user82> can i get the kernel .config file out of a kernel .deb package?
[15:48] <freq9> is it possible to enable logging/debug-mode for pulseaudio?
[15:48] <user82> sorry..classic facepalm i could open it with archive manager of course
[15:48] <freq9> ouch, --help
[15:53] <w30> user82, mc can look in deb files
[15:53] <user82> w30, the default archive manager could too...seen it too late
[15:54] <freq9> anyone can see something why i have no sound? all is working fine, but no sound :( http://pastebin.com/YpL8UW0d
[15:55] <user82> freq9, did you choose some random soundcard as output? (i once had chosen my usb headset and wondered why i had no sound with the internal soundcard)
[15:55] <eXp`iRc|43698> ciao
[15:56] <eXp`iRc|43698> !list
[15:56] <w30> freq9, I had problems with apps that look for dev/dsp with pulse nstalled. a loopback entry in pulse config fixed that for me
[15:56] <jose> Hola, alguien puede decirme el nombre de alguna distribución de Ubuntu que utilice el Kernel 2.4??
[15:57] <freq9> user82: the most time i am using my headphones but now i am using my laptops' speakers
[15:57] <user82> uh... 3.0 is stable how could i miss it for such a long time

[15:58] <ajmacedo> elz89: It seems cydia is applicable to windows mobile, isnt it?
[16:00] <elz89> ajmacedo: I have said the wrong thing, it's Cygwin I meant to say.
[16:00] <uhm-yeah> Hey friends of sophisticated computing. I have a problem and no idea how to approach it. I'm using the "text" parameter for my ubuntu kernel (Maverick) and whenever I boot the system 'gets stuck' on the seventh tty instead of changing to tty1 to show me the login screen. Any ideas? :3
[16:00] <elz89> And try not to worry about windows mobile for now, you are terming from vista to ubuntu aren't you?
[16:01] <Reaper> what is KDE based off of?
[16:01] <zwamkat> How can I remove the password for the (only) admin-user (not root)? Changing it with passwd, and not supplying a new password does not work.
[16:02] <uhm-yeah> zwamkat: Would usermod -L do the job?
[16:03] <zwamkat> What does that do?
[16:03] <sander_> asd
[16:03] <wols> zwamkat: man passwd. look at -d and -l
[16:03] <uhm-yeah> It locks the user
[16:03] <zwamkat> YEah wols, about to.. ;-)
[16:04] <zwamkat> I don't want to lock a user, I want to have a user that has no password set.
[16:04] <uhm-yeah> zwamkat: Then passwd -d sounds fine?
[16:05] <freq9> w30: huh? sound works fine if i use my headphones.
[16:05] <zwamkat> Let me try!
[16:05] <zwamkat> Cheers
[16:05] <savid> Hi, I'm having really strange issues on my natty install.  At random times,  I loose the ability to gain focus of a window or an area within a window.  If I'm in a text box and this happens, my cursor stays a text cursor even when hovering over non-text elements (like window buttons, etc).   For example, right now, I can't focus my mouse inside this textbox, but I can move the text cursor w/ the keyboard.   I can still type, but I can't alt
[16:05] <savid> +tab between windows when using compiz (alt+tab still works in metacity).    This happens regardless of whether I'm using compiz or metacity, so I'm not sure what the issue is.
[16:06] <w30> freq9, then that is not your problem then, sorry I can't offer more help
[16:07] <savid> Another odd thing is that right-click still works.  I just can't focus anything with my mouse.
[16:07] <Twilight-Sparkle> Has anyone noticed the new ubuntu sometimes crashing? The desktop goes away and it turns into text then the computer turns itself off.

[16:21] <trism> simmouk: you can list urls to download in a separate file and use: wget -i file.txt; to grab them all. if that isn't what you want, you should be a bit more specific about what you are tryihg to do
[16:21] <w30> stercor, download the flash plugin, uncompress it and put  libflashplayer.so in /\user/lib/mozilla/plugins to replace your old one

[16:27] <stevejamer> gconf
[16:27] <stevejamer> how do i wipe it?
[16:28] <^Mike> stevejamer: that'll be your user-specific stuff. Many system settings are stored in /etc, which isn't easy to revert. For gconf, you'd just move it to a backup location (so you can restore it if things go sideways)

[16:31] <Bipul> any one know how to access trash folder via terminal
[16:32] <olewolf> Hi. I hope someone can point me in the right direction for this. I'm working on a kernel module. Most of it works as expected, but one thing is missing: I need to access the parallel port, and I'd have preferred to go via ppdev, using regular stdio.h access to open it as a file named "/dev/parport0" rather than writing directly to 0x378 plus. Is there an example somewhere showing how to access a file via a kernel module?
[16:32] <^Mike> Bipul: ~/.local/share/Trash, I think
[16:33] <bullgard4_> Bipul: What do you want to do with the Trash folder? You can access it using '~$ ls -al <foldername>'.
[16:33] <oCean> olewolf: maybe try in a more generic channel, ##linux for example

[17:10] <girl__> CodenameStrike: Use network manager plasmoid instead
[17:10] <wols> CodenameStrike: and you have ppas. unsupported
[17:10] <Fenixdeux> wols: ah gotcha
[17:11] <dr_willis> asdfasdfa,  you may want to use dd, or rsync, or tar. to be sure all the permissions and special files get done right.
[17:11] <wols> asdfqq: reinstalling grub on the new partition is needed too
[17:11] <CodenameStrike> CodenameStrike: there's a plasmoid for it? cool.
[17:11] <wols> asdfqq: are you using a live cd to do the copying?
[17:11] <asdfqq> wols: Ah, I forgot that, thanks :) How can I do it?
[17:11] <yawnie> synapse: holding shift while booting gets me to the menu "try ubuntu/ install ubuntu/ memtest/..." with an option of setting parameters to them
[17:12] <girl__> wols, CodenameStrike: Yes and if you are using official kubuntu backports, see announcement on kubuntu.org it is supported
[17:12] <asdfqq> wols: yes, now I am in the liveCD
[17:12] <wols> !ppa | girl__
[17:12] <wols> girl__: what other channels want to support is their problem. but this is not other channels
[17:13] <devatwork> Hey guys, if i store a variable in say bashrc test=/home/test/blah
[17:14] <devatwork> Is there a way to expand the value of tht variable in terminal ? Like press tab twice or so ?
[17:14] <devatwork> so if i do $test and press tab twice, it shud replace it with its value ?
[17:14] <wols> devatwork: expand?
[17:14] <dr_willis> devatwork,  Hmm.. cant say ive ever noticed that..
[17:14] <wols> echo $test
[17:14] <devatwork> dr_willis, ive seen someone do tht on a fedora machine.
[17:14] <dr_willis> devatwork,  im not sure its possible. since the bash shell reads the command line then does the substutuins..  id like to know how fedora did it..
[17:15] <dr_willis> unless it was some bash-completion tricks
[17:15] <wols> devatwork: some bash completion script stuff most likely
[17:15] <devatwork> Ah alright. Thnx for the assistance

[17:16] <Crash03> how i find im new to linux
[17:16] <Crash03> right now running win7
[17:16] <wols> Crash03: in devicemanager
[17:16] <dr_willis> infid,  you can  use the places -> network   thing. or enter the server name/path to the share directly.
[17:16] <dr_willis> infid,  ie:   smb://the.ip.of.the.server/sharename
[17:17] <infid> dr_willis: i don't see anything but 'windows network' showing up in places->network
[17:17] <Crash03> 802.11n wireless linksys
[17:17] <dr_willis> infid,  or the servername if you rnetwork is set up better then mine
[17:17] <w30> infid, in the top panel places network
[17:17] <infid> dr_willis: i want it to automatically find all my shares
[17:17] <wols> Crash03: that's no wlan chip. linksys doesn't make chips
[17:17] <dr_willis> infid,  if its using the 'share' thing.. then it is a windows network.. its 'samba'
[17:17] <infid> there's no reason ubuntu shouldn't be able to, since boxee box can
[17:17] <Crash03> o ic like intel
[17:17] <infid> dr_willis: when i doublt click the 'windows network' it says 'unable to mount location'
[17:18] <w30> infid, it's flaky, you have to do it a couple of times and wait
[17:18] <wols> Crash03: no. like "intel 5100" or "atheros 5005G" or such
[17:19] <dr_willis> infid,  thats why i mentioned entering the server/share directly..    the whole 'browsing the windows network' rarely seems to work for me in Linux/Win7/XP/Vista
[17:19] <wols> Crash03: or a PCI ID of the chip

[17:27] <ikonia> Crash03: the guys in ##windows can help you identify your card using windows 7
[17:28] <girly> Crash03: you want a windows driver or linux driver, if windows this is not the place, if linux find the device in windows device manager or network setting control panel then ask for driver support
[17:28] <Crash03> ok how i get to tehm im new to forums here

[17:30] <OnticFrog> ikonia: have that open now, just tells me to uncomment to add them.  I would like to use something like apt-add-repository to enable them from shell
[17:30] <ikonia> OnticFrog: you can't
[17:30] <chenthu> bullgard4_: i can access the terminal in the recovery menu
[17:30] <ikonia> OnticFrog: the correct method is to use the gui, or uncomment the lines
[17:31] <kingspider> morning
[17:31] <bullgard4_> chenthu: Then you can access dmesg. Please analyze dmesg for error messages.
[17:31] <OnticFrog> ikonia: ah, is there a reason that can't be done from shell?  I am trying to put together a script for myself that sets up a fresh 11.04 install the way I like it.  Any other suggestions?
[17:31] <ikonia> OnticFrog: script it
[17:31] <yokahu> greetings and salutations
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> OnticFrog: with a clever sed / awk command you can. Far easier and safer to just uncomment manually
[17:32] <chenthu> bullgard4_: ok will analyse...
[17:32] <infid> dr_willis: strange, still not working. i did: smb://<my servers ip>/videos
[17:32] <OnticFrog> ActionParsnip: Safety is for people who don't plan to spend their saturday afternoon breaking their install :-P
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> Ontic: i'd make a copy in $HOME and experiment
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> Onticfrog: could also ask in #bash
[17:34] <girly> ikonia: OnticFrog ActionParsnip, why not python script to uncomment text file
[17:34] <OnticFrog> ActionParsnip: #bash it is, thank you :-D
[17:34] <ikonia> girly: it doesn't matter what script language you use
[17:34] <bdi_> hmm something is really strange. since i tried to install a .deb file, whenever i do sudo apt-get install something it gives me some dependency error as if the packet manager somehow is cluttered with that .deb file
[17:34] <ikonia> it's personal choice
[17:34] <dr_willis> infid,  smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/media/      is what i just used.
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> Onticfrog: could just add a command to download a new already tweaked file and replace the file. Waaay easier
[17:35] <girly> ikonia: Sure I was suggesting a way not stating it must be done like that
[17:35] <preecher> when i click the top left it opens for me to choose whatever type apps i wanna look at or the choice to search for an app as well---as example if i click on "media applications'' it opens that big screen with 3 sections (1)most frequently used(2)installed(3)apps available for download------my question is can i set it to only display what is installed? i dont care for looking at the other stuff---ubuntu11.04 unity
[17:35] <bdi_> also when i do sudo apt-get upgrade i get the dependency error
[17:35] <yokahu> how do i manually run  'sudo dpkg--configure -a' to correct problem       PROBLEM IS   E:dpkg was interrupted, you must manually  run. I was    downloading at terminal  ubuntu restricted essentials and got microsoft  licence agreement  appear in the terminal that blocked further  functionality , it froze
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> infid: can you ping the ip?
[17:36] <yokahu> thank you
[17:36] <bdi_> can i somehow flush the apt-get program?
[17:36] <infid> dr_willis: when i right-click a folder in nautilus and click 'sharing options' to share the folder, it does not show up under /media, even though i knwo it's working because my boxee box device sees the share fine
[17:36] <girly> bdi_: What dependency error exactly
[17:36] <infid> ActionParsnip: yes
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> yokahu: in a terminal, prefix with sudo
[17:36] <dr_willis> infid,  you share a folder and it does not show up under /media/ on the local machine.. thats not how shareing works.. Other machines (or the local one) sould see it as a samba share..
[17:36] <bullgard4_> bdi_: As you have been told before, please get fixed your installed packages first.
[17:37] <yokahu> im a  ubuntu greenhorn
[17:37] <Crash03> my adaptor wlan Chipset: Ralink RT3572
[17:37] <infid> dr_willis: my other machine doesn't see it in /media either
[17:37] <dr_willis> infid,  i spefifically made a /media/ share here.  by editing the  samba config.
[17:37] <bdi_> girly, this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/655228/
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> Infid: if you run: smbtree    do you see the share?
[17:37] <yokahu> actionpasnip  thanks im looking at your guidance
[17:37] <bdi_> bullgard4, i have no idea how to do that
[17:37] <infid> ActionParsnip: no
[17:37] <dr_willis> infid,  it does not appear in /media/ its moiunted via the gvfs stuff to the users .gvfs dir  thats  how nautilus does it.. boxee prob. puits it somewhere else.
[17:37] <girly> bdi_: Do what it says to fix broken packages apt-get -f install
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> yokahu: use tab to complete nicks
[17:38] <bullgard4_> bdi_: What is the ouptput of '~$ sudo apt-get update'?
[17:38] <bdi_> girly, ohh
[17:38] <Crash03> any help me get driver for Chipset: Ralink RT3572  please
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> Infid: then the share is blocked by firewall or not configured right
[17:39] <girly> bdi_: solved?
[17:39] <cyrix_larsson> !voice
[17:39] <infid> ActionParsnip: i see it when i do smbclient -L //hostname
[17:39] <bdi_> girly, yeah at least it is installing stuff now.,..silly me
[17:39] <dr_willis> infid,  how about 'findsmb' and 'smbtree' ?
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> Infid: what OS is the sharing system?
[17:39] <infid> findsmb doesn't find it either
[17:39] <infid> just smbclient -L
[17:40] <infid> ActionParsnip: both are ubuntu lucid lynx
[17:40] <Reaper> so im looking to get wine on this machine.. im running gnome (ubuntu natty) is there a specific one I should DL. there are several pkg's
[17:40] <girly> Crash03: 1 moment I thnik I can help you
[17:40] <Crash03> ok
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> Reaper: sudo apt-get -y install wine
[17:41] <dr_willis> infid,  samba has gotten so goofy for me lately.. findsmb used to  show my whole lan.. now its not even seeing the local machine.
[17:41] <Reaper> thanx
[17:41] <yokahu> ActionParsnip,  how do i manually  run   ?
[17:41] <girly> Crash03: usb or pci
[17:41] <Crash03> usb
[17:41] <infid> dr_willis: ugh and nfs is worse for me
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> Reaper: i'd check the appdb. Your app may need wine 1.3 or not even work at all
[17:42] <infid> dr_willis: guess i should use a service like dropbox just to sync files, can't believe filesharing doesnt work great in 2011
[17:42] <ubuntutest> hi
[17:42] <dr_willis> infid,  ive rarely had issues like this with nfs.. but ive got a mixed lan. so nfs wont work very well..  the one device that everything can seem to 'see' is my $20 nas
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> yokahu: type the command in terminal after you close software centre
[17:42] <dr_willis> infid,  i cant even get window7 to do it 'right'

[17:42] <infid> weird
[17:43] <ubuntutest> how can i install foxitreader
[17:43] <dr_willis> infid,  ubuntu one - now has 5gb  for free. :)
[17:43] <yokahu> How do i manually run 'sudo dpkg--configure-a' to correct problem
[17:43] <infid> dr_willis: i mean i can usually get samba to work decently if i actualy do the whole thing manually configured. just takes time, but i was hoping to be able to use the simple 'right click share' way like i do for my boxee box from ubuntu
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> Infid: works fine here haven't had an issue with samba in about 7 years
[17:43] <wols> yokahu: what's your actual problem?
[17:43] <infid> i dont get why my boxee box can read my shares perfectly fine
[17:43] <Crash03> from ethernet to ethernet  for shareing files if no modem you can cut the solid oreng and blue and swap them reconect set to autoconfig
[17:43] <yokahu> ActionParsnip,   what comand?
[17:43] <dr_willis> infid,  Hm,m. lets see what my boxee box sees.... got it the other day.
[17:44] <mattvishere> i installed 11.04 server and looks like the VGA port on my video card isn't working.  i think it might be using DVI port.  how can i set server to use VGA?
[17:44] <procrastubator> Guys I'm using buntu 11.04 and for some reason I can't add anything else to the Launcher?
[17:44] <procrastubator> It just disappears if I drag and drop anything on it?
[17:44] <procrastubator> Google is proving to be unresourceful any help would be awesome
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> Infid: i can give you my smb.conf if you wish...
[17:44] <infid> dr_willis: only issue i ever have with the boxee box in the last 6 months ive had it, is sometimes i have to exit out of the 'files' tab, go into the 'apps' tab, then go back itno the files tab for it to pickup new changes when it doesn't automatically (or restart it)
[17:44] <dr_willis> infid,  between the tv, and the cell phones, and now the blueray player.. :) i got a lot of gizmos that do seem to work well with samba.. its just the pc's that are the most problematic
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> yokahu: the command you were told to run
[17:44] <Crash03> procras right click on the icon them click keep here
[17:45] <infid> ActionParsnip: no thanks i know how to do it with smb.conf, and already have one set up for other things
[17:45] <dr_willis> infid,  havent had that issue yet. :) but ive only used it a little.
[17:45] <infid> just so inconvenient to have to add new fstab entries etc for every folder i wanna share

[17:46] <procrastubator> it's weird
[17:46] <infid> dr_willis: there's always spideroak, or dropbox, type services, especially since it'll work with linux/mac/windows/ipad/iphone,etc
[17:46] <infid> dr_willis: just takes forever to upload 100gb to it but at least you only have to do it once up front
[17:46] <nicofs> My PC is connected to the internet via LAN. How can I create a hotspot with the WiFi card so that other devices can connect to the internet via my PC?
[17:47] <dr_willis> infid,  I think the next neat trick will be to get your 'core' home settings on a service like that. so  you can have the same settings on all the pc's (or at least most of them)
[17:47] <Crash03> girly i dont know how to do that im new like just know how to install it new
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> yokahu: you use TAB and ENTER to accept the terms. It does say in the text

[18:01] <synapse> No disrepect, but if you want to keep Ubuntu as a viable distrib for linux, you may want to improve upon the dist upgrades.
[18:01] <nicofs> w30, how would i do that?
[18:01] <EGCdigital> someone help me please!
[18:02] <girly> mattvishere: try using the restricted driver tool
[18:02] <itinho> oi
[18:02] <girly> System → Administration → Hardware drivers
[18:02] <mattvishere> girly: do you have any resources where i could read how to use that?
[18:03] <mattvishere> from terminal
[18:03] <girly> mattvishere: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/hardware/C/restricted-manager.html
[18:03] <anoob> hey, are there someone using an AMD Radeon HD 6470M on ubuntu?
[18:03] <nicofs> w30, sharing itself works. but just not without user name and passwd...
[18:03] <itinho> vc sabe agum comando para recuperar ubuntu classic
[18:03] <synapse> Every single release of ubuntu I have ran will have a distrib update problems on and are not kernel or device driver related.

[18:04] <girly> mattvishere: you have x86 or x64
[18:04] <ikonia> EGCdigital: #ubuntu-irc can help you
[18:04] <nicofs> xangua, sorry, hard to spot the difference if you don'T speak either...
[18:04] <mattvishere> when starting the machine, i see the BIOS, then screen goes blank.  all i can do is use SSH to access the machine
[18:04] <itinho> 64
[18:04] <mattvishere> x64
[18:05] <wslayer> is there a method to reinstall grub without livecd?
[18:05] <nicofs> Is there someone out there who can help me share a folder in my network so that it can be accessed w/o user name and pw?
[18:05] <itinho> sim
[18:05] <ThinkT510> wslayer: boot into a linux install that already has grub installed
[18:05] <girly> mattvishere: download this to your file system http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-7-x86.x86_64.run then do "sh /path/to/filedownloaded" you might want to rename the file
[18:05] <Santo> Is there an article somewhere called "Ubuntu Software Center for new PPA creators"? Because I'm finding it confusing to figure out things like.. (1) How do I show an icon? (2) How do I designate my app a "technical detail" or not? (3) How is the displayed title determined? (4) What determines if a PPA is shown in the sidebar on the left? If that article doesn't exist and someone can point me in the right direction for answering those questions,
[18:05] <Santo>  I'll gladly write the article to help other newbs like me :)
[18:06] <ikonia> girly: why does he need an external package to use VGA output instead of the DVI output ?
[18:06] <girly> mattvishere: add a sudo before the sh
[18:06] <ikonia> mattvishere: please hold off that command
[18:07] <girly> ikonia: he does not even have x running
[18:07] <EGCdigital> a friend has a problem with your laptop is a toshiba satellite l645-s4102, and all is well but .. the microphone does not work.
[18:07] <ikonia> mattvishere: so why does he need an external package ?
[18:07] <ikonia> girly: so why does he need an external package  ?
[18:07] <EGCdigital> help me please.
[18:07] <w30> nicofs, my smb.config ftp://<IP_ADDRESS>/pub/smb.conf
[18:08] <Hamradio2008> why do i here a massive ech????
[18:08] <Hamradio2008> echo
[18:08] <girly> ikonia: who do you thnik made the card ATI and who made the driver ATI, where will he get the driver if Ubuntu does not have it
[18:08] <wols> wslayer: how you gonna boot and load an OS without working grub or working live cd?
[18:08] <mattvishere> girly & ikonia: true, all i can do is SSH to the box.  after BIOS, screen goes mysertiously blank.  don't have a DVI cable (you've got to be kidding me, but it's true)
[18:08] <EGCdigital> somebody, someone??
[18:08] <EGCdigital> with my little problem :(
[18:08] <wols> girly: and how do you know ubuntu doesn't have it?
[18:08] <Cerrdor> echo -e "GET / HTTP/1.0\n\r\n\r"
[18:08] <Cerrdor> :P
[18:08] <ikonia> girly: 1.) how do you know that version is compatible with the current ubuntu issues 2.) have you looked at what xorg driver it's trying to use currently 3.) have you tried to hardcode it to use the failsafe driver ?
[18:09] <girly> wols: its a proprietary driver
[18:09] <jetscreamer> wols... tsk tsk :p
[18:09] <ikonia> ubuntu has ati propitary drivers by default
[18:09] <wols> girly: ever heard of restricted extras? (not to mention that the normal radeon drivers works too for this chip)
[18:09] <girly> ikonia: wols: ok ok suit yourself but packaging the same thing in a .deb is not called an "ubuntu" driver
[18:09] <ThinkT510> girly: haven't you used the additional drivers tool?
[18:09] <nicofs> w30, no way to do that with a GUI? where is smb.conf located?
[18:10] <mattvishere> *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: Redwood [Radeon HD 5670] vendor: ATI Technologies Inc
[18:10] <ikonia> girly: actually, yes it is
[18:10] <Electroso> i cant get driver to install on my ubuntu virtual pc..
[18:10] <ikonia> girly: it's certified compatible with the ubuntu os version, and it's maintainable by the package manager for things such as kernel updates
[18:10] <wols> girly: there you are wrong. ati.com drivers ALWAYS break ubuntu and its mesa glx libraries.
[18:10] <wslayer> wols: I'm loading into Ubuntu. The problem is it won't load sometimes
[18:10] <wslayer> wols: grub is kinda working
[18:10] <wols> wslayer: and what error do you get?
[18:11] <girly> mattvishere: is the computer not running x because you do not have a monitor or is GUI not working
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> Nicofs: /etc/samba/smb.conf
[18:11] <trism> Santo: a good place to start may be: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Determining_software_item_information although it seems a bit vague, but I haven't read the entire document so questions may be answered elsewhere
[18:11] <wslayer> wols: I don't know, it shows a black screen and freezes the system before loading ubuntu.
[18:11] <mattvishere> girly: i have a monitor connected via VGA.  i see machine POST in BIOS, then it goes dead
[18:12] <mattvishere> machine is running
[18:12] <mattvishere> can SSH to box
[18:12] <wols> wslayer: if you have booted ubuntu via grub, you can run sudo grub-install </dev/diskyouwant>  but I'm not sure if it solves your problem. I doubt it's grub
[18:12] <mattvishere> thats how i am running commands
[18:12] <mattvishere> figured i could fix in SSH and reboot
[18:12] <w30> nicofs, your smb.conf is in /etc/samba my smb.conf is wget ftp://<IP_ADDRESS>/pub/samb.conf
[18:12] <jetscreamer> try vga=normal just at a guess, mattvishere but i dunno
[18:12] <girly> mattvishere: was it never working?
[18:12] <girly> mattvishere: and do you see splash screen
[18:12] <wols> wslayer: so grub menu comes up fine, you select a ubuntu kernel and press enter. from there on, the screen stays dark?
[18:12] <mattvishere> correct, this is a new build as of last night
[18:12] <mattvishere> no splash screen
[18:13] <wslayer> wols: exactly
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> !nomodeset |Wslayer this may help with black screen at boot
[18:13] <nicofs> w30, ok - and now i shall compare both and spot the difference to know what makes folders shareable without user and pw...?
[18:13] <girly> mattvishere: did you try recovery mode?
[18:13] <anygivenname> firestarter does not show the policies of iptables so unfortunately I can do it by gui, on Ubuntu 10.04 how do I remove the Drop lines on iptables ?
[18:13] <mattvishere> not sure how i can get into recovery mode when i can't see anything after BIOS
[18:13] <wols> mattvishere: edit your grub.cfg (backup before) and don't make it go into graphics mode). did this install ever work or was it always like this? if it ever worked, what have you changed since then?
[18:14] <girly> mattvishere: if you see grub prmpt there should be an option after pressing ESC or directly called Ubuntu Kernel XXX Recovery mode
[18:14] <w30> nicofs, the global and the dicks shared folder
[18:14] <mattvishere> i dont even see the grub prompt
[18:15] <mattvishere> crazy, it must be working, because i can get to it remotely
[18:15] <nicofs> w30, sorry, i need help not puzzles. what do i need to enable and where?
[18:15] <mattvishere> wols: it was never working
[18:15] <girly> mattvishere: Did this pc work before with GUI
[18:15] <Santo> anygivenname:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW might help you
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> mattvishere: hold shift at boot
[18:15] <mattvishere> yes, it was working on 10.04 desktop (not server)
[18:16] <mattvishere> i will try holding shift
[18:16] <girly> mattvishere: So you currently have server ... server does not have GUI I believe correct me if I am wrong
[18:16] <mattvishere> yeah i think thats correct
[18:16] <mattvishere> still i should see the shell
[18:17] <girly> mattvishere: That would explain no recovery mode, but generally VGA is preferencial to DVI strange
[18:17] <w30> nicofs you can left click on your folder you wish to share and in properties check the share button and the if your smb.conf is right it will share with no password
[18:18] <girly> mattvishere: you have another monitor, I can such a problem in ubuntu 7.10 server and it only worked after swapping monitor then swapping back
[18:18] <nicofs> w30, which doesn't work. I can share there, but i still need user and password...
[18:18] <mattvishere> AHHAAA
[18:18] <mattvishere> holding shift got me into grub on boot
[18:18] <mattvishere> now i can try recovery
[18:19] <w30> nicofs, after setting smb.config you need to restart samba
[18:19] <nicofs> w30, i didn'T set anything because i don't know what to set.
[18:19] <girly> mattvishere: recovery mode working?
[18:20] <w30> nicofs, did you set your smb.conf up like mine?
[18:21] <mattvishere> girly: yes, recovery is working
[18:21] <mattvishere> looks like i have a list of choices
[18:21] <EGCdigital> a friend has a problem with your laptop is a toshiba satellite l645-s4102, and all is well but .. the microphone does not work.
[18:21] <EGCdigital> ?
[18:21] <yokahu> ActionPasnip   thanks i did it
[18:22] <girly> mattvishere: does the motherboard have an onboard card. if so you can remove the radeon you don't need such a card on server
[18:22] <w30> nicofs, back up your original first
[18:22] <mattvishere> girly: no onboard card
[18:22] <mattvishere> i wish, otherwise i wouldnt have bought this one
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> yokahu: np man :-)
[18:22] <girly> mattvishere: hmm from experience ATi + linux = bad idea
[18:22] <w30> nicofs so you can always go back to it
[18:22] <mattvishere> haha thanks
[18:23] <mattvishere> linux + ? = good idea?
[18:23] <yokahu> ActionParsnip  what is the comand to download medibuntu  packages  . Use terminal or download  on medibuntu page?
[18:23] <girly> mattvishere: well intel works perfect out of box, nvidia is fine with drivers
[18:23] <arc_nit_india> which one is best....lxde or xfce
[18:23] <arc_nit_india> which one is best....lxde or xfce
[18:23] <girly> mattvishere: though intel does not make high end GPU's
[18:24] <mattvishere> can i buy an intel card?  or are they all onboard?
[18:24] <xangua> !best | arc_nit_india
[18:24] <mattvishere> i thought intel bought ati anyway
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> yokahu: did you run the command to add the medibuntu repo?
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> arc_nit_india: neither a
[18:25] <mattvishere> girly: centos was working, i might head back over to that.  wanted to try to rebuild on ubuntu for the exercise.  didn't learn too much here, but i did learn about a few differences
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> arc_nit_india: neither and both
[18:25] <girly> mattvishere: maybe a newer release of ubuntu server
[18:25] <girly> 11.04
[18:26] <mattvishere> girly:  i am using 11.04 server
[18:26] <mattvishere> 10.04 desktop was what this machine was before
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> arc_nit_india: its as intelligent as asking which is better, red or green
[18:26] <dr_willis> ActionParsnip,  blue.. :)
[18:26] <mattvishere> maybe 10.04 server would work, or i could get an intel card
[18:26] <mattvishere> girly: do you have a pci-e intel card recommendation?  something from newegg maybe
[18:27] <dr_willis> mattvishere,  whatever nvidia fits your budget
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> Nvidia all the way :-)
[18:27] <your_nick_here> How do you create a new launcher in 11.10 Alpha 2?
[18:27] <girly> mattvishere: let me search but I think intel is mainly onboard cards
[18:27] <jaypro> i have a computer with 3 harddrives. each time it boots, it defines each hard drive differently each time. (40GB, 80GB, & 1TB defined as sda1, sdb1, & sdc1, respectively... then on next boot 40GB, 80GB, & 1TB defined as sdb1, sdc1, & sda1, respectively). Is this any indication of a failing motherboard, or does that sound normal?
[18:27] <pkumxckqpodmxsro> holaa!
[18:28] <ThinkT510> !11.10 | your_nick_here
[18:28] <jaypro> the same pc used to have a different configuration, but failed two harddrives
[18:28] <mattvishere> thanks everybody for your help and recommendations!
[18:28] <mattvishere> girly: if you are going to take a peek, i will hang around
[18:29] <girly> mattvishere: Intel makes only on board gpu
[18:29] <bdi_> what command can i use to recursively search all files for a certain word?
[18:29] <mattvishere> thats what i figure
[18:29] <mattvishere> d
[18:29] <jaypro> anyone? im just worried that i will have another hard drive failure
[18:29] <girly> mattvishere: Nvidia I can suggest
[18:29] <dr_willis> bdi_,  IN a text file? grep with the right options
[18:29] <Obfuscation> anyone have any information regarding why a CD/DVD driver won't read a burnt dvd/cd but has no problem with one bought from a store?
[18:29] <dome> hi. I'M using ubuntu 11.04 on laptop with nvidia card inside, but sometimes i like to connect a big tv on the VGA port. My question is, how can i enable/disble tv without much clicking? nvidia-settings works, but takes a lot of time to set/reset settings. monitors applet seems to be dumb, and xrandr can't detect my tv also
[18:29] <girly> mattvishere: 1 moment I will have a look
[18:29] <Shapeshifter> How can I list all daemons which are started at boot time on 10.04?
[18:29] <mattvishere> girly: ok
[18:29] <bdi_> dr_willis, well yes, but not in just one...but ALL text files in a folder and all subfolders
[18:30] <dr_willis>  grep has a option for that i recall
[18:30] <girly> mattvishere: performance card needed?
[18:30] <your_nick_here> Is there a command I can use to create a new launcher?
[18:30] <mattvishere> girly: not at all
[18:30] <mattvishere> whatever is cheap
[18:30] <dome> bdi, grep -R "word" /path/to/dir
[18:30] <ThinkT510> your_nick_here: ask in #ubuntu+1
[18:31] <jaypro> dome: on my laptop, i can switch between lcd other viewing device by holding function and F8. may want to check to see if your laptop can do the same
[18:31] <dome> jayne, can't find the lcd/crt switcher
[18:32] <dome> ohh, fiound it: "Could not switch the monitor configuration -- could not set the configuration for CRTC 642"
[18:32] <dome> this is what I got on the topright notification area
[18:33] <valleydaddy78> having a prob wit virtualbox4.1 in ubuntu
[18:33] <valleydaddy78> actually im having a prob wit all of the versions of virtual box
[18:33] <girly> mattvishere: I will speak to you in private message
[18:36] <valleydaddy78> can anyone help
[18:36] <wols> mattvishere: no one will stop you from buying another card (be a good consumer! the economy needs more spending), it is a waste of money
[18:37] <ThinkT510> valleydaddy78: no they can't because you haven't explained your problem
[18:37] <wols> valleydaddy78: unless you state your problem, only clairvoyants can. and there aren't any here
[18:37] <chilversc> are other repositories such as maverick compatible with natty?
[18:37] <wols> chilversc: no
[18:38] <wols> chilversc: mixing ubuntu versions causes pain and suffering. for you and us
[18:38] <wols> chilversc: backporting can (or forward porting) can be a possibility tho
[18:38] <xangua> chilversc: and neither mix repositories from other linux distros please ;)
[18:38] <chilversc> that's what I thought
[18:38] <Wh1zz0> Hi guys... Anyone know of a very good video converter for ubuntu? One which covers a wide range of video formats?
[18:39]  * ThinkT510 wonders whether people lose common sense when they sit in front of a computer
[18:39] <wols> ThinkT510: no need to wonder. this and other channels prove it daily to me
[18:39] <chilversc> meh, I just wanted to try out 4dtris
[18:39] <valleydaddy78> ok whats the copy paste sit so the bots dont yell at me
[18:39] <wols> Wh1zz0: ffmpeg
[18:39] <wols> !paste
[18:39] <wols> chilversc: backport it?
[18:39] <wols> !info 4dtris
[18:40] <chilversc> can't see how the binary or anything else for 4dtris should vary that much between versions of ubuntu
[18:40] <Wh1zz0> wols: Any other?
[18:40] <wols> chilversc: basically, apt-get the _source_ and run dpkg-buildpackage on it to build a .deb
[18:40] <chilversc> wols: I was hoping to avoid needing to build everything by hand
[18:40] <wols> Wh1zz0: in the end, ALL transcoding is basically done with ffmpeg or mencoder
[18:41] <wols> chilversc: it's not by hand and very automated. plus you learn something
[18:41] <Wh1zz0> wols: Thanks
[18:41] <mobius420> greetings channel,  does anyone know where i might find a copy of a linux game  called grid wars?  There are tons of dead links all over the net, but I have yet to find a link to a linux version of the game. Apparently it even made the top twelve list for linux games so I am fairly certain a linux version exists....   any help would be appreciated :)
[18:41] <wols> chilversc: you sure there is a "4dtris" in maverick? under what package name?
[18:42] <Wh1zz0> I'll go for ffmpeg since it's at least got one review
[18:42] <chilversc> wols: naw, its a custom repository
[18:42] <chilversc> yeah, I just find it a little odd sometimes that apps need to be packaged not only for an individual distribution, but for each individual release?
[18:42] <wols> mobius420: first hit on google: http://gridwars.marune.de/
[18:42] <chilversc> neither windows or osx seem to require it
[18:43] <wols> chilversc: not odd. dependencies are that way
[18:43] <mobius420> wols,  like i said there is no short supply of dead links
[18:43] <mobius420> but thanks
[18:43] <wols> they require it too. lots of stuff not working in windows 7 anymore..
[18:43] <wols> mobius420: I am currently downloading it
[18:43] <mobius420> wols,  it is a windows version
[18:43] <chilversc> wols: mostly stuff that didn't stick to the way apps were supposed to be wrote though
[18:44] <wols> mobius420: not unless windows can run ELF binaries all of a sudden
[18:44] <ThinkT510> mobius420: there is a linux link on that page
[18:44] <Abdul> Hey everyone :)
[18:45] <wols> mobius420: so have you tried it (you will to chmod it before running since the guy packaged it in zip for some stupid reason)
[18:45] <mobius420> wols, ThinkT510 let me know if that works out for you :) I would like to play it very much :)
[18:46] <wols> mobius420: if you are too lazy to download something and run it, the you don't deserve any help. good day
[18:46] <mobius420> I seem to be having some problems with it... I did not chmod  I did change to executable in permissions settings though
[18:46] <mobius420> dude you a re dick
[18:46] <mobius420> good day
[18:46] <w30> nicofs, did you get your smb.conf installed?
[18:47] <valleydaddy78> aight heres my pastebin  http://pastebin.com/YGa7xEd3
[18:47] <ThinkT510> wols: wow, some people just don't know how to accept help
[18:48] <wols> valleydaddy78: so have you compiled the kernel module? does it exist on disk?
[18:48] <ThinkT510> valleydaddy78: have you done what it says?
[18:49] <valleydaddy78> thinkt510 i dont know how
[18:49] <anygivenname> can anyone help me with iptables ?
[18:49] <valleydaddy78> wols i dont know how
[18:49] <wols> valleydaddy78: the message you pasted tells you how

[18:51] <valleydaddy78> i dont understand it
[18:51] <valleydaddy78> maybe i need a walk through
[18:51] <ThinkT510> valleydaddy78: can you open a terminal?
[18:51] <valleydaddy78> yes
[18:51] <TonyWanis> Anyone???
[18:51] <wols> valleydaddy78: then install virtualbox from the ubuntu repos
[18:51] <wols> TonyWanis: the people selling you cpanel do
[18:52] <ThinkT510> valleydaddy78: like wols said install virtualbox from the repo
[18:52] <TonyWanis> wols: ?
[18:52] <ming_> i cant use libQQ  can anybady tell me how use it?
[18:53] <valleydaddy78> can you guid me throught that
[18:53] <TonyWanis> wols: Im downloading it off their site
[18:53] <chilversc> so I guess its also a bad idea to get a debian binary package?
[18:53] <valleydaddy78> do have to delete the curent install cause i installed it from the site
[18:53] <ThinkT510> valleydaddy78: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[18:53] <chilversc> or can I grab that and just extract the binary from it?
[18:53] <wols> TonyWanis: yes. and you ask THEM how to use THEIR software. easy, no?
[18:53] <ThinkT510> valleydaddy78: yes, you should uninstall that first
[18:53] <wols> chilversc: it's simply stupid
[18:54] <anygivenname> firewall has suddenly started blocking my ssh remote access.....how can I fix it ?

[18:57] <anygivenname> ikonia: it was always working till suddenly it stopped....how can I check if it has blocked port 22 ?
[18:57] <mobius420> that is needed to run the game for those of you who wish to play gridwars...
[18:57] <ikonia> anygivenname stop the firewall as a test
[18:58] <mobius420> and wols,  you should take a breathe before you insult someone.....   people like you are why microsoft still holds such a beast market share...  you intimidate newbs with your over zealous insults
[18:58] <anygivenname> ikonia: I have stopped it & accordingly the access has worked....that's why I knew it is a firewall issue
[18:58] <mobius420> what a dick
[18:58] <ThinkT510> talk about ironic
[18:58] <ikonia> anygivenname: ok, so look in your firewall rules for port 22

[18:59] <anygivenname> ikonia: where do I find those rules ?
[19:00] <ThinkT510> valleydaddy78: type sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
[19:00] <simon_> Hi all
[19:00] <ikonia> anygivenname: how are you configuring your rules ?
[19:00] <wols> anygivenname: iptables -L  for example
[19:00] <chilversc> what's the solution for; "erro gettext infrastructure mismatch: sunig a Makefile.in.in from gettext version 0.17 but the autoconf macros are from gettext version 0.18" ?
[19:00] <simon_> I can't seem to get my Wireless network crad to work in ubuntu, how to?
[19:00] <norbert_> who else installed Ubuntu 11.04 and has a GIMP that only opens windows the first time you use them?
[19:01] <wols> simon_: first you start by telling us what wlan chip you exactly have
[19:01] <anygivenname> wols: iptables -L showing lots of Drop lines
[19:01] <ikonia> anygivenname: how are you configuring the rules ?
[19:01] <vszh> I installed 11.04 alongside Windows 7, created swap, / and /home and (probably a mistake) installed grub to / rather than replace the windows boot record. I just never have luck with grub2 and didn't want to risk anything. Now, unsurprisingly, I can't figure out how to boot into Ubuntu since grub is not the mbr. Should I start over, or can I fix this without reparting?
[19:01] <simon_> Hmm, where can I see what chip I have?
[19:02] <wols> simon_: lspci -nn
[19:02] <valleydaddy78> thinkt510: sudo command not found
[19:02] <anygivenname> ikonia: I never played with iptables rules
[19:02] <ThinkT510> valleydaddy78: what are you running?
[19:02] <ikonia> anygivenname: what firewall are you using
[19:02] <anygivenname> ikonia: only set some fail2ban rules
[19:02] <ThinkT510> valleydaddy78: you in ubuntu?
[19:02] <anygivenname> ikonia: default
[19:02] <ikonia> anygivenname: fail2ban modifies iptables rules, and will block ssh
[19:03] <ikonia> anygivenname: flush your iptabes rules with iptables -F
[19:03] <anygivenname> ikonia: fail2ban was working perfect for over a year
[19:03] <ikonia> anygivenname: fail2ban will block port 22 if you hit the pattern matching on the fail2ban application
[19:04] <anygivenname> ikonia: ok....will the flush command affect the fail2ban settings?
[19:04] <w30> vszh, I can't tell you how to  fix it but my live cd boot loader gives me the option to boot Ubuntu from the hard drive
[19:04] <ikonia> anygivenname: no, but if you start fail2ban again it may possibly put the rules back, depending on your config,
[19:05] <anygivenname> ikonia: you mean that an error has occured in fail2ban & lead to the blocking rule
[19:05] <vszh> w30: I'll give that a try, should have thought of it, thanks. If that ends up being my only option I'll just start over.
[19:05] <ikonia> anygivenname: I don't think it's an error
[19:05] <ikonia> anygivenname: something has triggered the pattern matching, and therefore it has correctly blocked access
[19:05] <simon_> My WLAN controller is "Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN"
[19:05] <anygivenname> ikonia: I have looked in jail.conf & I dont see anything different
[19:06] <ikonia> anygivenname: jail.conf just sets the patterns, that doesn't show it being matched
[19:06] <anygivenname> ikonia: what do you recommendI do ?
[19:06] <simon_> A Google search told me that I should install the package "bcmwl-kernel-source"
[19:06] <ikonia> anygivenname: I recommend you disable the firewall and fail2ban
[19:07] <wols> !wl
[19:07] <rww> !bcm43xx
[19:07] <w30> !vnc
[19:07] <anygivenname> ikonia: for good ?!
[19:08] <w30> !FreeNX
[19:08] <norbert_> who else installed Ubuntu 11.04 and has a GIMP that only opens windows the first time you use them?
[19:08] <wols> simon_: 4311 is unlikely to be supported by wl. tho, b43 should support it
[19:08] <wols> !broadcom
[19:08] <wols> simon_: see that
[19:08] <anygivenname> ikonia: I will flush iptables & do a ssh access test
[19:09] <anygivenname> ikonia: do I need to restart iptables after running iptables -F ?
[19:10] <TonyWanis> bluethundr_: hello
[19:10] <centr0> wow this trackpad is sensitive on the e6510
[19:11] <wols> anygivenname: why did you do that?
[19:11] <w30> I have used VNC and tightVNC on my computer but it is sooo slow; Is FreeNX any faster?
[19:11] <ikonia> anygivenname: no, not if it's already running
[19:12] <anygivenname> wols: do what ?
[19:12] <anygivenname> ikonia: flushed
[19:13] <coloman> as
[19:14] <anygivenname> ikonia: great....flushed worked....being able to access from another machine
[19:14] <M4d3L> hi. how I can append a string to a file in bash?
[19:14] <anygivenname> ikonia: but is this a temporarily flush ?
[19:15] <bastidrazor> M4d3L: echo string | tee -a filename
[19:15] <ikonia> anygivenname: if fail2ban is not running, no
[19:15] <anygivenname> ikonia: meaning that we will be back to square zero after a restart ?
[19:15] <anygivenname> ikonia: fail2ban is running
[19:15] <bastidrazor> anygivenname: fail2ban drops all bans on a restart. or so i thought.
[19:15] <ikonia> anygivenname: no, meaning that if you hit the pattern matching again, it will put the firewall back up
[19:17] <anygivenname> ikonia: I have not set any pattern that I have matched.....I would never trap myself :)
[19:17] <ikonia> anygivenname: what are your trigger patterns
[19:18] <anygivenname> ikonia: what do u mean ?
[19:18] <ikonia> anygivenname: what are the patterns you're matching against
[19:18] <anygivenname> ikonia: I have public key auth & applying fail2ban rules
[19:19] <ikonia> anygivenname: what is the pattern matching your using for fail2ban
[19:19] <chilversc> where does po/Makefile.in.in come from? it seems like I need a newer version for gettext 0.18
[19:19] <anygivenname> ikonia: I dont understand
[19:19] <sre-su> Does Bumblebee beats Optimus for Graphic cards with Optimus?
[19:19] <chilversc> or can I just install gettext 0.17 ?
[19:19] <ikonia> anygivenname: fail2ban works against pattern matching, if it picks up the pattern it will raise the firewall rules
[19:20] <ikonia> anygivenname: what are the patterns you've set it to match against
[19:20] <bastidrazor> anygivenname: normally fail2ban will monitor /var/log/auth.log and 3 unsuccessful attempts at a login will ban the IP. also you can have fail2ban ignore certain a certain IP/hostname
[19:20] <anygivenname> ikonia: these are what I set in jail.conf
[19:21] <ikonia> anygivenname: what are the patterns
[19:22] <anygivenname> bastidrazor: yes......that's what I am setting a 24 hours ban of IP after 3 failure attempts

[19:23] <simon_> Thanks for the help guys, my problem was that the "activator-button" on my computer didn't enable the wireless card, but now when I changed driver from STA to b43 it mysteriously worked
[19:23] <anygivenname> ikonia: I have never matched my patterns
[19:23] <ikonia> anygivenname: you do, there are patterns it matches in the logs

[19:24] <oyeah> earn money online
[19:24] <anygivenname> ikonia: cause my patterns are to ban IP after 3 failure attempts....& I never did that.....besides I tried after crossing the 24 hrs & it did not work & I tried from a different IP & t did not work
[19:25] <anygivenname> ikonia: now I flushed & it worked....will do a restart & see what will happen
[19:25] <ikonia> anygivenname: that's why I asked what pattern it matched as it can do different things depending on what pattern it hits
[19:26] <Independer> Hello
[19:26] <bastidrazor> there is a log for fail2ban and see if it is the reason things were banned.
[19:26] <Independer> Need help to know why does ubuntu take 50% of my two cores when I boot him in a usb
[19:27] <bragr> So I have about 1TB of media (mostly TV shows and movies but also some music and pictures) on a Ubuntu 10.4 server and I've been using sshfs to access the media but I'm looking for a real media server, but I'd like some advice on which one to use.
[19:27] <bragr> I want to be able to stream from anywhere over the internet, which my connection is fast enough for, it just hickups every so often without buffering. It has to have encryption and authentication for security.
[19:27] <bragr>  It also needs to have client support somehow on Windows, Linux, and Android. It would be a big plus if it was in the Ubuntu repository or if it had its own.
[19:28] <bragr> Any recommendations? It seems like there are like 50 options.
[19:28] <Independer> Any one anyone ?
[19:29] <ikonia> Independer: saying anyone is pointless
[19:29] <anygivenname> ikonia: so the flush was temprary :(
[19:29] <ikonia> anygivenname: I told you it was if you started fail2ban
[19:29] <Independer> ikonia: so maybe your not the one
[19:29] <ikonia> !anyone > Independer
[19:30] <Independer> Ok
[19:31] <anygivenname> ikonia: can you help me with the output of my iptables -L ?
[19:31] <ikonia> anygivenname: forget iptables -L at the moment, look at the pattern matching in fail2ban and look how that applies to your current client machine
[19:32] <bill> For some reason my graphics card isnt preforming very well anymore. Its really new, and ever since i installed "Macbuntu" i get low fps on games and such. I need to figure out how to get the settings back to where it worked good, can anyone help?
[19:32] <ikonia> anygivenname: also look in the auth.log to see what's triggered it
[19:32] <ikonia> bill: bad call putting the macbuntu theme on
[19:32] <bill> Probably.
[19:32] <bastidrazor> anygivenname: look also in the fail2ban log. it would tell you if something triggered it
[19:33] <anygivenname> banaction = iptables-allports
[19:33] <anygivenname> in jail.conf
[19:33] <anygivenname> but it is default....has always been there
[19:34] <ikonia> anygivenname: forget that, look at the pattern matching
[19:34] <ikonia> anygivenname: why are you looking at everything except the pattern matching
[19:34] <bill> You have any idea how to fix this?
[19:34] <anygivenname> ikonia: cause I dont know what you exactly mean by looking a the pattern
[19:35] <ikonia> anygivenname: I've told you 3 times
[19:35] <ikonia> anygivenname: fail2ban looks through the logs for certain patterns, if it detects them it takes an action, such as raising the firewall
[19:36] <florian> how do i swich between unity and ubuntu classic?
[19:37] <bragr> florian: at the gdm (login screen) click on your username. At the bottom a drop down box will appear
[19:37] <ministerdude> Is it possible to make my vBox recognize my ubuntu music folder so I can sync my music with itunes
[19:37] <bragr> you can select it there
[19:37] <florian> bragr, thanks
[19:37] <bill> For some reason my graphics card isnt preforming very well anymore. Its really new, and ever since i installed "Macbuntu" i get low fps on games and such. I need to figure out how to get the settings back to where it worked good, can anyone help?
[19:37] <bragr> ministerdude: I think you can share folders but IDK if that is in the version in the repo
[19:38] <ministerdude> hmmm.... Id love to find out. Cause I finally figured out the sync and usb thing. now I want itunes to get my tunes and album art and what not
[19:38] <yeats> bill: try uninstalling macbuntu: http://sourceforge.net/projects/macbuntu/forums/forum/1205032/topic/3819181
[19:38] <bragr> ministerdude: if you have it, it would be under the vm options
[19:39] <ministerdude> allow me to check. brb
[19:39] <bill> I have used the uninstall, yeats. I still have low fps and bad preformance
[19:39] <anygivenname> ikonia: found 2 errors in fail2ban.log
[19:39] <anygivenname> ikonia: can I pastebin ?
[19:40] <kristjan> does the video for the fifa world cup draw work for anybody? Really want to watch it :)
[19:40] <ministerdude> heh... I should read more. figured it out thank you :D
[19:40] <ministerdude> I'm "sharing" all folders :D
[19:41] <bragr> IIRC if you have the vbox tools installed you can share the local directory and it shows up as network share for windows
[19:41] <kevin_> hey guys. sooooooo, i want to create a "pseudo-sound device" that i can stream locally on my network in mp3 format. any way I can do that? i don't even know what to google for that
[19:41] <bragr> you could then go into my computer and mount that "network" location as a drive and tell itunes use it
[19:42] <kevin_> using natty, with alsasound (not pulseaudio)
[19:42] <bill> I have checked all compiz settings and they seem normal

[19:44] <_trine> guys I am in trouble
[19:45] <_trine> I have completely messed up my xorg in 11.04
[19:45] <_trine> how can I recover
[19:45] <anygivenname> ikonia: I do not understand what they are....I hope you can help me
[19:45] <ikonia> _trine: just remove your xorg.conf file and it will go back to auto detection
[19:46] <_trine> ikonia, is that in X11
[19:46] <ikonia> _trine: /etc/X11
[19:46] <ikonia> _trine: although how did you mess it up if you don't know where the config file is ?
[19:46] <mattgrubbtv> Hi
[19:46] <_trine> I removed the vidio drivers will that matter
[19:46] <ikonia> _trine: how ?
[19:47] <_trine> in synaptic
[19:47] <bill> Is there anyone here who can try to help me?
[19:47] <ikonia> _trine: put them back
[19:47] <bill> Sorry if im being annoying
[19:47] <_trine> but before that I installed another nvidia driver and thats what messed it all up
[19:48] <ikonia> _trine: how did you install an nvidia driver
[19:49] <anygivenname> http://paste.ubuntu.com/655286/
[19:50] <_trine> ikonia, would you mind if I spoke in pm as it gets me mixed up here
[19:50] <ikonia> _trine: I'd rather speak in here
[19:51] <_trine> I cant keep track of what you tell me here so well
[19:51] <ikonia> anygivenname: thre you go then, it's dropping port 22
[19:51] <_trine> I am a beginner
[19:51] <ikonia> anygivenname: the error is warining is concerning
[19:51] <_trine> ikonia, I have got to a prompt
[19:52] <Electroso> does ubuntu need a ainti virus??\
[19:52] <ikonia> Electroso: no
[19:52] <kevin_> hrrrrm
[19:52] <tensorpudding> Electroso: no, unless you want to use it as an email server to host email for windows machines, in which case a virus scanner for scanning those emails would be a good idea
[19:52] <anygivenname> ikonia: what do you mean ?
[19:53] <_trine> ikonia, I can see xorg.conf.failsafe do  need to use that

[19:53] <ikonia> anygivenname: that is dropping your ssh connection, however the fact that it says ERROR first is worrying
[19:53] <morph3k> i cant figure out what the problem is here
