[13:38] <mads-> Doesn't unity have a clock? :)
[13:39] <Zahrada> It's designed - very much like Ikea - to make you lose all perspective of time..
[13:39] <Sidewinder1> Like 'Vegas
[13:40] <esi> pfifo, actually, they're both DDR2 lol
[13:40] <esi> still, I'm removing the old one just for checks
[13:40] <Triffid_Hunter> hi all, just installed kubuntu 11.04, trying to find openssh-server.. apt-get says other packages refer to it but it's unavailable
[13:41] <omid_o> how to install dev c++ on ubuntu?
[13:41] <pfifo> esi, if you have 2 different colored slots, put one in blue and one in black, that 'should' work but it depends on your mmu
[13:41] <mads-> omid_o, dduuudeee? :)
[13:41] <Sidewinder1> Triffid_Hunter, Wow, love your nick; that's an old, old movie. :-)
[13:42] <pfifo> !info openssh-server
[13:42] <ir4> synaptic packages
[13:42] <ir4> omid_o:  synaptic packages
[13:42] <omid_o> mads what's up? my friend wants to install dev C++ on ubuntu . i told her to migrate to linux and now she wants to practice C++ like she did on windows.
[13:43] <pfifo> omid_o, your friend is better off learning linux tools
[13:43] <Security> morning all
[13:43] <Sidewinder1> Mornin'
[13:43] <omid_o> she is stupid
[13:44] <omid_o> ok guys i'll be back
[13:44] <pfifo> omid_o, maybe wine will work
[13:44] <mads-> No offense, but dev c++ is donkey poo
[13:44] <esi> OH GREAT
[13:44] <esi> pfifo, it seems that the 1GB memory was troubling the whole thing...
[13:44] <Triffid_Hunter> ah, apparently have to update everything.. what's the current favourite cli package manager frontend called? last time I used apt, dselect was the go
[13:44] <esi> it is booting now
[13:44] <pfifo> esi, if you have 2 different colored slots, put one in blue and one in black, that 'should' work but it depends on your mmu
[13:45] <jrib> Triffid_Hunter: apt-get
[13:45] <Triffid_Hunter> jrib: that's all well and good if I know what the packages are called, what's good for browsing?
[13:45] <Sidewinder1> Triffid_Hunter, I prefer Synaptic Pak. Mgr., but not sure it's available in kubuntu.
[13:45] <KolakCC> Okay all, I just installed synergy.. But WHERE is it? How do I start it!?
[13:46] <Security> apt-get <beer>
[13:46] <jrib> !apt | Triffid_Hunter
[13:46] <KolakCC> This usually happens to me whenever I install anything
[13:46] <Sidewinder1> jrib, He said front-end.
[13:46] <jrib> apt-get is a front-end
[13:47] <sipior> Triffid_Hunter: "aptitude search <foo>", or "apt-cache --search --names-only <foo>" are preferred.
[13:47] <Sidewinder1> jrib, Then Synaptic is backend?
[13:47] <jrib> Triffid_Hunter: you can use apt-cache to search.  If you want some sort of curses interface, there's aptitude
[13:47] <jrib> Sidewinder1: synaptic is *another* front-end
[13:47] <pfifo> sidewalk, dpkg is the backend
[13:47] <jahid> hi, i have install ubuntu 11.04. and lotz of things has changed. how can i get get the status bar that i used see at the bottom of the screen with all my programs running. that i could click to switch from one program to another?
[13:47] <Triffid_Hunter> aptitude eh, will try that, thanks
[13:47] <pfifo> sidewalk, sorry, not for you
[13:48] <Sidewinder1> jrib, Guess I got my symantics mixed up, again, sorry.. :-)
[13:48] <Scunizi> On Unity, when I try installing dconf to get the system tray back by the clock, apt wants to remove dconf-tools.  What am I going to loose by having that package uninstalled?

[13:55] <thisismygame> Does anyone know how to make an ubuntu minimal install boot to something other than a blank black screen?
[13:56] <pfifo> thisismygame, what kind of video card are you using?
[13:57] <pfifo> thisismygame, wait, getting a head of myself, try pressing ctrl-alt-f2 to get to a terminal ;)
[13:57] <d-zaster> .
[13:57] <szal> thisismygame: and how do you connect the video card to the display?
[13:58] <pfifo> by default it goes to tty7 for a non-existant gdm to start up
[13:58] <JoeyJoeJo> How can I get app shortcuts on the dock in Netbook Remix?
[13:59] <durre> hi! I logged in to my VPS (ubuntu) and saw the services wasnt running. I suspect the machine has been rebooted. can I see this in any of the logs?
[13:59] <JoeyJoeJo> durre: Run the command uptime
[13:59] <pfifo> durre, `uptime`
[13:59] <sumobawuq> night
[14:01] <durre> JoeyJoeJo & pfifo: so if it says "up 9:50" its been up for aprox 10hours?
[14:01] <JoeyJoeJo> yup
[14:02] <JoeyJoeJo> durre: it didn'y say anything about days? Mine says 142 days 17:56
[14:02] <Bartzy> mounting a NFS share gave me this error: mount.nfs: Unknown error 4352  . Any idea ?
[14:02] <durre> then my VPS provider has even more to answer for. they installed a 1 month old backup on my system a week ago and still havent been able to fix it
[14:02] <pfifo> durre, maybe that was the fix
[14:02] <JoeyJoeJo> durre: What provider do you use?
[14:03] <pfifo> Bartzy, did it still mount?
[14:03] <durre> pfifo: to reboot? well, that didnt solve anything :)
[14:03] <durre> JoeyJoeJo: thats a secret so far... local swedish provider

[14:05] <Security> Anyone know a good program that saves video from the web?
[14:06] <pfifo> Security, youtube?
[14:06] <JoeyJoeJo> pradeep: mount -t auto /dev/sdx /mnt/ where sdx should be changed to the device you're trying to mount. You may also have to change auto to the specific file system on your device
[14:06] <Security> pfifo takes video off the web and puts it in your hard drive

[14:07] <sabgenton> how do you get the Gigabyte size of a partion in fdisk
[14:07] <sabgenton> sudo  df -Th /dev/sda1

[14:07] <pfifo> Security, `wget` is great for downloading, firefox and chrome have the 'save as' option too

[14:08] <burrburr> anyone here using abiword for linux? what dictionary should I use? aspell?
[14:09] <Security> 10.05 did it right out of the gate,  u just had to look in the right folder to find it
[14:09] <bazhang> burrburr, thats fine
[14:09] <bazhang> Security, 10.04 did what
[14:09] <pfifo> !who | Security
[14:11] <burrburr> bazhang: I need it for aspell-en and aspell-sv (swedish). however, it crashes when opening a document in swedish when having english as the default language with automatic spell checker enabled
[14:11] <Security> lol .04   would save video into your temp folder as long as the video was still open...  then you could take the video and drang-drop into a more perm. folder
[14:11] <burrburr> bazhang: pretty much hangs x. need to open a tty using ctrl+alt+F2 and kill the pid
[14:12] <patyx7> Hi all, I was wondering, has anyone ever had the resolution problem with dual monitor setups on nv cards, I have one at res 1920 x 1080, and 1920 x 1200, and if I select these res, on one monitor is fine, but on the right most monitor, the screen still continues pass the edge?
[14:12] <bazhang> Security, you can still do that, but why bother with the handy firefox addon that can download *and* convert on the fly
[14:12] <And_I> has sb tried to install ubuntu on the vodafone845 ?
[14:12] <bazhang> patyx7, using randr?
[14:12] <patyx7> I used nvidia-settings to configure
[14:12] <patyx7> so I think no?
[14:12] <bazhang> And_I, not possible from what I have seen on the forums, though you can sync with it fine
[14:13] <Usuario123456789> oi
[14:13] <bazhang> Usuario123456789, english here please
[14:13] <patyx7> Would using randr solve the problem bazhang ?
[14:13] <bazhang> patyx7, not sure, just a suggestion
[14:15] <pradeep> how to unmount disks
[14:15] <bazhang> pradeep, what are you trying to do
[14:15] <patyx7> Hhmm
[14:15] <esi> umount <place> (ej: unmount /media/My_Drive
[14:16] <enyawix> the system feels sluggish is  preempt missing from the kernel?
[14:16] <esi> enyawix, uname -a (it should say SMP within the line)
[14:16] <liu> hello esi
[14:16] <pradeep> bazhang, which disk i want to mount that disk unmount so I again unmount other disks n again try to mount that disk

[14:17] <bazhang> ZiauddinMK, dont paste here
[14:17] <ZiauddinMK> bazhang: where to paste?
[14:17] <ZiauddinMK> #offtopic isn't working
[14:17] <bazhang> #ubuntu-offtopic perhaps ZiauddinMK
[14:17] <sabgenton> parted /dev/sda print

[14:18] <ZiauddinMK> bazhang: worked
[14:18] <enyawix> esi SMP kernel but no preempt :(
[14:18] <pfifo> KolakCC, usually that has to be set in the bios and ubuntu will use your bios's default as its default
[14:18] <bazhang> patyx7, xrandr does not do it? could be your card cannot handle such high res for both
[14:18] <Scunizi> Is gconf-editor still available?
[14:18] <KolakCC> pfifo: Darn.. And now ubuntu isn't even recognizing my monitor
[14:18] <pfifo> enyawix, theres like 50 kernels that ship with ubuntu, just pick the one you like
[14:18] <jrib> Scunizi: yes?
[14:19] <jrib> Scunizi: actually, I haven't checked in natty.  Nevermind
[14:19] <patyx7> I don't think it's that
[14:19] <kratosk> is it possible to use wget on a link that redirects you to the file you want? I tend to just get a nonsense garbage file
[14:19] <patyx7> It's more like

[14:20] <patyx7> one screen is smaller than the other, and while using twinview, the smaller monitor has a blank/void space to make it into a rectangle ? bazhang (if that makes sense)

[14:20] <van7hu> jrib, bazhang, thans
[14:20] <van7hu> jrib, bazhang, thanks
[14:20] <bazhang> patyx7, yes it does, what about using the monitor configure buttons on the side
[14:20] <BluesKaj> pfifo, that's impractical , glib answers like that aren't needed
[14:21] <pfifo> BluesKaj, or read the config if your looking for something specific like pae smp or preempting
[14:21] <jrib> Scunizi: dconf-tools installed?

[14:22] <bazhang> pradeep, did not understand what you are trying to do, please clarify
[14:22] <Scunizi> jrib: yes.. but reading this link says to install dconf-editor and has a link with an auto install script which wants to uninstall dconf-tools.. I didn't run it for fear the removing dconf-tools might disable something else.. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-11-04-Unity-Tips-and-Tricks-204538.shtml

[14:29] <Mene-Mene_> I've been able to stop that by reconnecting, but now that's failed on both the 5 ghz and 2.4 ghz freq.
[14:30] <pradeep> MonkeyDust, command line as well as gui
[14:30] <pfifo> Mene-Mene_, this happens ONLY when you issue a ping?

[14:31] <pradeep> MonkeyDust, how to log as root from live booting?

[14:34] <dr_willis> ray_,  mplayer  has so many options it proberly can..  you may need to twiddle with it a bit.

[14:35] <Mene-Mene_> This behaviour doesn't occur consistently. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Is that consistent with your hypothesis?

[14:43] <Tetracomm> I installed Ubuntu using Wubi and it says that it  cannot send files to the trash so it deletes them permanently. I just lost a folder containing a lot of important files by accident and now I am going to have to try and find it back. How do I fix this? There is only 45 mb in the trash directory. I just did a search in Nautilus and I found it. All this happened after I renamed the folder and then changed my mind back to the previous name, and
[14:43] <Tetracomm> now when I browse to the directory  it is under, I don't see it, but it is actually there. This has to be an Ubuntu bug and it is a major nuisance and potential serious problem.
[14:44] <durre> I have a new ubuntu 11.04 installation which randomly drops to "top bar" on all windows. where the close, expand, minimize buttons are. anybody know why?
[14:44] <pfifo> Tetracomm, try running a filesystem check
[14:45] <Tetracomm> pfifo: I just renamed the folder and changed it back again and now it is showing again.
[14:46] <nerdy_kid> Tetracomm, sudo touch /forcefsck to force a filesystem check on reboot
[14:46] <pfifo> Tetracomm, unusual problems with files can usually be corrected with a fs check, youll probbally want to check the windows partition first and then the linux partition
[14:47] <Tetracomm> Ok.
[14:47] <bazhang> pfifo, this is a wubi install
[14:47] <pfifo> bazhang, hence i say check the ntfs first
[14:47] <bazhang> pfifo, there is not a linux partition
[14:48] <pfifo> bazhang, is it more proper to tell a wubi user to check their loop device or something?
[14:49] <bazhang> I'd say check for backups

[14:52] <Roasted> sipior, that controls which nic is which eth* ID?

[14:53] <SoobNauce> I have an install disk for MSFURY3 (a game written for Windows 95).  It won't install under windows 7 because it's apparently 16-bit and my installation of win7 is 32-bit.  I'm trying to install it on ubuntu, using wine, but ubuntu refuses to run it, citing issues with the executable bit.  I can't change the executable bit because this is a CD.  Can I override ubuntu's aversion to running things without the executable bit, or will I need t
[14:53] <SoobNauce> o copy the CD, edit the iso to give setup.exe an executable bit, mount the iso with an iso mounting program, and run the setup that way?

[14:56] <pradeep> initrfms error, how to make normal start ubuntu 10.10
[14:56] <julie> Ibyss, if I'm not mistaken it does skip one but not more
[14:57] <KolakCC> How can I remove unity without breaking ubuntu-desktop?
[14:57] <thisismygame> szal: vga cables are all I have. Weird request
[14:57] <SoobNauce> HowardJohnson: I should rephrase my question: "can I tell wine to ignore the executable bit?"
[14:57] <sipior> Ibyss: i'm afraid that's not an option. however, you could wait for the next LTS release (12.04, iirc), and jump straight to that.
[14:57] <HowardJohnson> SoobNauce, I'm eating thus missed the first part of what you said...
[14:57] <pfifo> thisismygame, yeah on the kernel line
[14:57] <Guest11444> KolakCC, you can choose classic mode at login?
[14:57] <HowardJohnson> SoobNauce, But...
[14:57] <HowardJohnson> SoobNauce, I still wouldn't know.
[14:57] <HowardJohnson> Lol
[14:57] <julie> SoobNauce, have you considered installing Win98 or Win95 in a VM?
[14:57] <Ibyss> Okies sipior.
[14:57] <Typh> is there a way to use space as both a modifier key and a space key?
[14:57] <pcoder> pfifo, bazhang: Inline with Tetracom's problem, I have also been running into problem with wubi (file) installation of Ubuntu 10.10.  The Ubuntu boots up to BusyBox 1.15 and I can;t my original files. I have done all file system checks as you discussed earlier. Any solutions??
[14:57] <Ibyss> tnx julie.
[14:58] <HowardJohnson> SoobNauce, WHich program you are trying to install?\
[14:58] <KolakCC> Guest11444: I am, but never ever ever planning to use it, so why not remove it?
[14:58] <dr_willis> SoobNauce,  its not wine thats doing it.. its the wine-launcher front end.
[14:58] <SoobNauce> HowardJohnson: I'm trying to install Fury3.
[14:58] <dr_willis> SoobNauce,  do a 'wine /path/to/executabe.exe' and it wont care what the bit is
[14:58] <sipior> Typh: how would the operating system know which you meant?
[14:58] <Typh> sipior: hitting space alone would be space.
[14:58] <HowardJohnson> SoobNauce, Yeah I found your fist mesage...
[14:58] <pfifo> SoobNauce, its easy have a read http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=39548&sid=4213ece7bc628e22cd15577c39bc6868
[14:59] <HowardJohnson> SoobNauce, I would go with running Windows in a VM like whoever it was said.
[14:59] <sipior> Typh: uh huh. think about that for a minute.
[14:59] <SoobNauce> oh hell.  dr_willis: my bad.  I typed "wine '/media/MSFURY3/setup.exe'" into a terminal, but instead of hitting enter in the terminal, I hit enter in nautilus where I had the CD thing open...  where it told me that the executable bit was not set
[14:59] <HowardJohnson> It will probably run far better than anything in Linux.
[14:59] <thisismygame> pfifo: so I have initrd /initrd.img-2.6.38-8-generic nomodeset
[14:59] <darkfrog> how do I install xmove on 11.04?
[14:59] <Typh> sipior: works fine with autohotkey on windows, but I can't find a good method on linux
[14:59] <HowardJohnson> SoobNauce, Also Windows in a Linux Host VM is stupidly quick too.
[14:59] <pfifo> thisismygame, nope, thats the initrd line, add it before the -- on the previous line
[15:00] <thedeaths> anyone happen to know how to get windows to copy paste files to samba (ubuntu os) at speeds above 1gbps (using lan teaming on windows)
[15:00] <dr_willis> SoobNauce,  its some weird security thing ubuntu does where a .exe has to be executable or else it wine wont try to run it.. makes it very annoying in many ways.
[15:00] <Typh> sipior: there's nothing to think about, as I've got it working as expected in another os
[15:00] <thisismygame> pfifo: pardon my nooblery
[15:00] <pfifo> thisismygame, np
[15:00] <dr_willis> SoobNauce,  its not a wine limitaion its the wine front end that gnome uses that wants it.
[15:00] <SoobNauce> dr_willis: I see.  Thanks.
[15:00] <MonkeyDust> thedeaths: to begin, use rsync instead of cp
[15:00] <thisismygame> pfifo: bingo
[15:00] <thedeaths> never heared of rsync :(
[15:01] <julie> !rsync
[15:01] <najib> hi, how can i generate random MAC address?
[15:01] <sipior> Typh: it's just an awful idea.
[15:01] <MonkeyDust> thedeaths: http://rsync.samba.org/
[15:01] <julie> najib, as long as it's unique in your network
[15:01] <Typh> sipior: uhhh...
[15:02] <thedeaths> doh, i dont really want to have shared folder systems
[15:02] <pradeep> how to normally start computer it gives error initrmfs.......
[15:02] <sipior> Typh: teasing, friend. do what you like :-)
[15:02] <thisismygame> pfifo: thank you very much sir. so I'll just edit my grub line to have "nomodeset" on it
[15:02] <Kenty22> nerdy_kid: hey
[15:02] <julie> thedeaths, the fastest solution would be a FTP connection
[15:02] <pfifo> thisismygame, dont forget that, youll need it al the time
[15:02] <nerdy_kid> Kenty22, hi
[15:02] <Typh> sipior: I only have one hand, I'm trying to setup a mirror qwerty layout
[15:02] <thedeaths> heh mostly just wanted a way to be able to acces the nas at full 2gbps speed (like when copying a game from nas to pc)
[15:02] <thisismygame> pfifo: why is that? i dont have video drivers installed yet, i'm guessing.
[15:03] <CoolCoder> How to reset keyboard. My external keyboard num lock keys are not working. I have changes the keybord preferences. I dont know how to revert to default settings. Any help?
[15:03] <thedeaths> so ye: why cant windows copy paste it that fast :p
[15:03] <sipior> Typh: sticky keys aren't an option?
[15:03] <thedeaths> it can handle 95% average on 2 seperate pc's both 1gbps,but on teaming it fails :(
[15:03] <pfifo> thisismygame, the kernel is now responsible for setting the video mode, however the older drivers still think its taken care of by X
[15:03] <julie> thedeaths, something's missing in your description as copy-paste is not a network protocol
[15:04] <thedeaths> heh well
[15:04] <thedeaths> no idea what network protocol windows would use if i go to \\ubuntu\storage
[15:04] <kratosk> is it possible to use wget on a link that redirects you to the file you want?  Or " ERROR 403: Bad hash."
[15:04] <sipior> Typh: you can have a look at xmodmap as well, which should allow you to set keys more or less as desired.
[15:04] <thedeaths> and copy paste a file there with explorer :p
[15:04] <julie> thedeaths, this means you already have a Samba share
[15:04] <thedeaths> ye the share and what else works
[15:05] <thedeaths> it's just windows (i think)
[15:05] <burrburr> I find both using sources.list and PPA a bit confusing. what to prefer in ubuntu?
[15:05] <thedeaths> guessing windows isnt using the teamed interface
[15:05] <najib> julie: i am looking if the is already any tool/script to generate MAC address
[15:05] <julie> thedeaths, I told you before:  FTP would be the fastest solution
[15:05] <thedeaths> but rather only uses 1 port
[15:05] <thedeaths> but ftp is the annoying solution :p
[15:05] <julie> oh well
[15:06] <MALICEVSKI> can anyone guide me step by step  how can i recover my photos from a damaged hard disc
[15:06] <MALICEVSKI> pls
[15:06] <julie> MALICEVSKI, is it currently unmounted?
[15:06] <dr_willis> !info photorec
[15:07] <dr_willis> Hmm what is the name of that app.
[15:07] <MALICEVSKI> i cant get in it
[15:07] <dr_willis> MALICEVSKI,  you could try dd_rescue or ddrescue to clone/rescue it to an image file then mount the image file and try to access the photos
[15:07] <julie> MALICEVSKI, when dealing with damaged drives or lost data, always unmount the drive ASAP
[15:07] <julie> !ddrescue
[15:07] <pentarex> hey guys can someone tell me why this script is not working http://pastebin.com/mb8vvE9X, I'm starting it, but when I try to stop it it says no such ID
[15:07] <MALICEVSKI> how to do that
[15:08] <MALICEVSKI> sorry
[15:08] <pradeep> does mounting takes a long time.
[15:08] <dr_willis> check the ddrescue homepage for its ussage.  I have changed the keyboard preference. Now num keys are not working. There is no option to revert to default settings. Any help
[15:09] <dr_willis> http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/manual/ddrescue_manual.html
[15:09] <pradeep> another thing. i checked the partition with the gui mode, it says some bad sectors
[15:09] <dr_willis>      ddrescue -i0 -s50M /dev/hdc hdimage logfile
[15:09] <oCean> Typh: using xmodmap you could modify keymapping
[15:09] <julie> MALICEVSKI, also keep in mind that anything you do on the disk, even with the rescue utility might damage it further, so if you have stuff worth real money, you should hire pros
[15:10] <oCean> Typh: not sure what you mean by modifier key though
[15:10] <MALICEVSKI> i have all my pics there
[15:10] <carsten> log
[15:10] <sipior> oCean: "alt", "ctrl", "meta"...
[15:10] <CoolCoder> can anyone help to get back my default external keyboard settings? I have changed the keyboard preference. Now num keys are not working. There is no option to revert to default settings. Any help
[15:10] <CoolCoder> can anyone help to get back my default external keyboard settings? I have changed the keyboard preference. Now num keys are not working. There is no option to revert to default settings. Any help
[15:10] <CoolCoder> can anyone help to get back my default external keyboard settings? I have changed the keyboard preference. Now num keys are not working. There is no option to revert to default settings. Any help
[15:10] <FloodBot1> CoolCoder: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:11] <Typh> oCean: yeah, that
[15:11] <dr_willis> this is when you learn to start keeping backups
[15:11] <julie> MALICEVSKI, then I can only wish you good luck
[15:11] <CoolCoder> no help for this group!!!!
[15:11] <pfifo> pentarex, try echo -n, and ensure that the PID is acttually correct
[15:11] <oCean> sipior: Typh ok, I know how to change value's for a key, but not sure how to make it differ between 1 stroke and 'hold'
[15:11] <oCean> or combination
[15:11] <dr_willis> CoolCoder,  flooding the question - tends to get you ignored.
[15:11] <CoolCoder> simple questions even no one can answer in this group. then why this people is here
[15:12] <KNUBBIG> Sidewinder1: sorry for changing my nick but that was my auto away when my session crashed :)
[15:12]  * pfifo knows the answer
[15:12] <Typh> oCean: yeah, same. I might have to just settle for seperate keys.
[15:12] <pradeep> now ubuntu says unable to open /dev/sda stdin; error 0. and halts
[15:12] <CoolCoder> i am getting mad. i am on IRC for last 4 years and in Ubunto chat 5th time. No one even responded to my simple isssues.
[15:12] <dr_willis> CoolCoder,  you dident just hit the NUMlock did you?
[15:12] <compdoc> CoolCoder, is it a laptop?
[15:12] <oCean> CoolCoder: is that because you have not received reply in 5 minutes?
[15:12] <CoolCoder> yes
[15:12] <CoolCoder> laptop
[15:12] <CoolCoder> dell
[15:12] <CoolCoder> and external keyboard
[15:12] <edbian> pradeep: You mount a partition (/dev/sda1) not a harddrive (/dev/sda)
[15:13] <dr_willis> I cant recall ever seeing differnt settings for the external/laptop keyboards..
[15:13] <sipior> oCean: Typh: you can use a "keysym" directive to map the desired meta key to whatever you like, but i don't honestly know how it will work when mapped to Space. I assume you have key repeating turned off, Typh?
[15:13] <Guest11444> Is there a specific chat for ubuntu issues on dell machines?
[15:14] <wujie>  Linux Kernel V<IP_ADDRESS>.deb down : http://dl.dbank.com/c0uh2z9l6q
[15:14] <CoolCoder> oCean: i have waited for 2 hours. because somehow i need to get the issues fixed. not this keyboard. another issues. no one even responded. chat is moving so fast. but there is no one to deal with simple issues like this as i am a beginer in Ubuntu
[15:14] <Sidewinder1> KNUBBIG, No prob. :-)
[15:14] <wujie>  Linux Kernel V<IP_ADDRESS>.deb down : http://dl.dbank.com/c0uh2z9l6q
[15:14] <compdoc> CoolCoder, some laptops have blue function keys, and you can enable or disable the num keys with a function key
[15:14] <wujie>  Linux Kernel V<IP_ADDRESS>.deb down : http://dl.dbank.com/c0uh2z9l6q
[15:14] <oCean> sipior: I use xmodmap to change keys, for example to change 'left' key to 'backspace'
[15:14] <CoolCoder> It was working compdoc:
[15:14] <sipior> oCean: sure, this is just an extension of that.
[15:14] <Defusal> hi everyone
[15:14] <CoolCoder> since i have changed something on keyboard setting
[15:14] <Typh> sipior: yeah, I've mapped it to a normally unused modifier, but getting keyup to just output space seems impossible
[15:15] <CoolCoder> its like this compdoc:
[15:15] <dr_willis> CoolCoder,  does it work properly for a newly made user?  if so then its just some user config you you can proberly reset/file you can delete.  if it affects all users. then it would be a system wide setting
[15:15] <Defusal> can anyone tell me what the simplest to install and configure sock 5 proxy server is?
[15:15] <oCean> CoolCoder: don't forget it's all volunteers here, let your attitude reflect that
[15:15] <KNUBBIG> I'm not sure what wujie is suggesting there :x
[15:15] <julie> Guest11444, it wouldn't make sense to have a channel per computer make, just ask your question
[15:15] <CoolCoder> dr_willis: ok let me check that
[15:15] <CoolCoder> then will comeback
[15:15] <Defusal> !sock5
[15:15] <compdoc> CoolCoder, hold down the func key, and type the key that looks like the numpad (in blue) and try to enable it
[15:16] <CoolCoder> thanks everyone. This is my first response for you people. good luck.
[15:16] <CoolCoder> compdoc: ok
[15:16]  * pfifo puts 5 bitcoins on CoolCoder having mouse keys enabled
[15:16] <pradeep> i can boot from windows but now ubuntu now. live boot also collapse
[15:16] <sipior> Typh: typing it twice in a row doesn't output Space?
[15:16] <Guest11444> I can't get my machine to suspend or hibernate (fresh install of natty). I've been looking at launchpad bug-reports and the forums.
[15:16] <Guest11444> A lot of users are having the same issue, but no solutions yet
[15:16] <Typh> sipior: nope
[15:17] <CoolCoder> "pfifo puts 5 bitcoins on CoolCoder having mouse keys enabled" what is this?
[15:17] <pfifo> Guest11444, is your swap at least the size of your ram
[15:17] <semi-fly> is it possible to grab the alt. cd and install the base ubuntu system then install gnome3 + ubuntu software centre without it installing unity?
[15:17] <pfifo> CoolCoder, try pressing shift+numlock
[15:17] <Guest11444> yeah, it worked in maverick
[15:17] <Guest11444> and the partitions are the same size as before
[15:17] <oCean> sipior: Typh maybe something like this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2581784&postcount=4
[15:17] <CoolCoder> pfifo: not working
[15:18] <CoolCoder> ok let me check for new user
[15:18] <RenaKunisaki> has anyone else been having their USB controllers crash on AMD64 Xubuntu 11.04?
[15:18] <CoolCoder> and will come back
[15:18] <CoolCoder> thanks all
[15:18] <pfifo> CoolCoder, better press it again cause that enabled it and that will make things even worse
[15:18] <BluesKaj> do you guys notice google-linux is no more ...I guess it's relavence was questioned once too often , because I noticed lately that a lot of searches were so.
[15:18] <Typh> oCean: that looks promising
[15:18] <Guest11444> pfifo, to be exact: my swap is 9gb and i have 4gb of ram
[15:18] <RenaKunisaki> sudden spew of errors followed by messages that suggested several USB devices had just been connected (which really had been connected a long time ago), and now I/O errors from a USB disk
[15:19] <oCean> Typh: I think so, I hope it's useful.. I have to run afk for a while.
[15:19] <sipior> oCean: Typh: might be a way to go, assuming it allows for conditional execution.
[15:19] <queso> If I add a ppa that has a package I need, but also includes packages that I don't need, and some of those packages that I don't need have the same name as an ubuntu-supported package that I need, how do I get the ubuntu-supported package?   aptitude keeps telling me that the package is from an untrusted source, so it's obviously defaulting to the ppa source.
[15:19] <julie> BluesKaj, why would anyone allow Google to spy on their Linux installation?    So I just installed Ubuntu 11 on my work computer and I'm about to start migrating everything from windows xp over to ubuntu... I've come across a couple problems so far but I figure they're easily fixable.  Firstly, at first boot-up Ubuntu didn't recognize my windows partition.  I tried to mount it via terminal and I got an error telling me it was already mounted,
[15:20] <BluesKaj> oCean, google-linux is relavent
[15:21] <oCean> BluesKaj: no it is not, this is for ubuntu support issues only, thanks
[15:21] <julie> BluesKaj, oCean is right
[15:21] <TuxOtaku> hey, I'm trying to install ubuntu on a gateway netbook
[15:21] <TuxOtaku> but for some reason, it can't see the hard drive
[15:21] <BluesKaj> oCean, well google-linux used to be part of the support searches
[15:21] <sipior> oCean: Typh: it's a tricky problem. i'd be interested in hearing how this works for you.
[15:21] <TuxOtaku> gparted only shows the USB stick I put Ubuntu on
[15:22] <julie> !ot |blueskaj
[15:22] <TuxOtaku> the HDD works, windows is running on it right now
[15:22] <Typh> sipior: I'll keep you updated
[15:22] <pfifo> thefisher86, you should be able to find your windows partition in /media/<drive name>
[15:22] <compdoc> TuxOtaku, in the bios, is there an option for sata or ahci emulation for the drives?
[15:22] <TuxOtaku> ooooh! never thought of that
[15:22] <TuxOtaku> lemme go check compdoc
[15:22] <BluesKaj> julie, oCean , I have one response ...bah humbug !
[15:23] <thefisher86> pfifo I looked there, there was nothing
[15:23] <OerHeks> julie, pls get ontopic yourself, BluesKaj is helping out here as long as i know.
[15:23] <compdoc> TuxOtaku, most linux distros support either ahci or native sata, so its a long shot
[15:23] <TuxOtaku> compdoc, it's set to IDE...should it be ahci?
[15:23] <pfifo> thefisher86, is it listed in your bookmars as like 123GB partitoin or anything?
[15:24] <compdoc> TuxOtaku, should work that way, but its worth a try. AHCI is better
[15:24] <thefisher86> pfifo no it's not... that's my problem
[15:24] <RenaKunisaki> [122397.871035] ehci_hcd 0000:00:10.4: fatal error
[15:24] <RenaKunisaki> [122397.872856] ehci_hcd 0000:00:10.4: force halt; handshake ffffc9000018e014 00004000 00004000 -> -110
[15:24] <compdoc> IDE shoule work with anything
[15:24] <compdoc> should
[15:24] <RenaKunisaki> that does look like some kind of software failure...
[15:24] <pfifo> thefisher86, can you run these commands 'sudo fdisk -l` and `mount` and copy paste the results to this website http://fpaste.org
[15:26] <thefisher86> pfifo I can do that
[15:26] <thefisher86> pfifo I'm currently in windows, so let me restart
[15:26] <TuxOtaku> compdoc, that did it! thanks
[15:26] <compdoc> TuxOtaku, cool
[15:27] <Loo> Hi
[15:28] <Loo> ?
[15:28] <KNUBBIG> Loo, good morning/evening/whatever :)
[15:29] <Guest11444> so, any other ideas as to why suspend/hibernate is broken (i definitely have enough swap space)?
[15:30] <Viliny_> Guest11444 had that same problem for ages now
[15:30] <compdoc> Guest11444, is the swapo used to hold the hibernate files? I never thought so
[15:30] <compdoc> *swap
[15:30] <pfifo> Guest11444, Viliny if i had the hardware i could troubleshoot it, but I dont :(
[15:31] <KNUBBIG> compdoc: think so, as for me, hibernate fails due to the small amount of swap I have
[15:31] <Guest11444> I dont have anything sensitive here, i could give you remote access :D
[15:31] <pfifo> Guest11444, yeah but Id loose it on suspend lol
[15:31] <compdoc> it doesnt make sense the hibernate file would be placed in the swap area
[15:31] <Loo> Sorry but I'm French and I don't understand. Do you know a french canal?
[15:31] <niko> !fr | Loo
[15:32] <Loo> ok thanks
[15:32] <kivod> je peux traduire sinon :D
[15:32] <Guest11444> compdoc it makes sense to me: ram copied to swap, then swap copied to ram
[15:32] <Guest11444> but i have no clue
[15:32] <thefisher86> pfifo, what was that paste site again?
[15:32] <Guest11444> fpaste.org
[15:32] <pfifo> thefisher86, http://fpaste.org
[15:33] <Guest11444> well, what annoys me is that it was working fine in 10.10 then it's broken in 11.04
[15:33] <Guest11444> It was very, very useful.
[15:33] <pfifo> Guest11444, i would start be figuring out what has changed in the kernel
[15:34] <pfifo> by
[15:34] <thefisher86> pfifo it's pasted
[15:34] <pfifo> thefisher86, can you paste the resulting link here in the channel for us
[15:34] <Plugh> When I boot Ubuntu 10.10 and log in I need to manually start pulseaudio to get sound. Any idea why it won't start automatically?
[15:35] <thefisher86> pfifo, so it mounted it as /host from the looks of things... that's weird
[15:35] <pfifo> thefisher86, the URL of the paste, I need it
[15:35] <Guest11444> pfifo,  that's the thing. I can get suspend and hibernate functionality back by using a rather old kernel (2.6.35) but then the touchpad doesn't work the way it should
[15:36] <julie> thefisher86, if you did your installation on Windows, then it's normal that the Windows partition gets mounted in /host
[15:36] <skyx> how to MySQL upgrade from 5.0.51a to 5.1 ubuntu 8.04 server edition ?
[15:36] <Guest11444> pfifo, how do i check the changes to the kernel though? and what can i do about it?
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> Guest11444: to make the touchpad work, you need to add something in the grub, moment, ill look it up
[15:37] <Defusal> can anyone tell me what the simplest to install and configure sock 5 proxy server is?
[15:37] <Guest11444> MonkeyDust, in natty i get perfect two-finger scrolling vertically and horizontally. it's beautiful
[15:37] <thefisher86> pfifo don't worry about it just looking at the output of mount I was able to figure it out
[15:37] <Defusal> there must be something that works out of the box with minimal config :(
[15:37] <pfifo> Guest11444, first check the version numbers, and read the change logs for anything acpi related, thencheck the new kernel to see what the configuration is like.
[15:37] <pfifo> thefisher86, a wubi install I take it
[15:38] <thefisher86> yep
[15:38] <Guest11444> pfifo,  but that's like...30 changelogs!
[15:39] <pfifo> Guest11444, debugging is not easy
[15:39] <Guest11444> pfifo, ;_;
[15:39] <pfifo> Guest11444, but just think of all the glory! youd be a launchpad hero
[15:39] <julie> lol
[15:39] <Guest11444> hahaha
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> Guest11444: in /etc/default/grub find this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and add atkbd.reset
[15:40] <eiriksvin> Hello all, I have a question, my Ubuntu 11.04 is having issues at the splash screen... it shows the color of the background (in the splash screen) but don't show the Ubuntu and the loading dots. It started happening after I installed World of Warcraft, any ideas what to do?
[15:41] <Guest11444> MonkeyDust, to get the touchpad working properly under 2.6.35?
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> Guest11444: yes
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> Guest11444: atkbd means AT keyboard
[15:42] <Guest11444> MonkeyDust, well, the touchpad "works", it just fails with multi-touch issues
[15:43] <MonkeyDust> Guest11444: it worked for me
[15:43] <ravn> hi guys, I have a USB spectrometer that I would like to talk to, but I can't find any information about how the USB interface is working these days, only deprecated texts, anyone can point me to some relevant information about USB and how it works these days?
[15:43] <pfifo> Guest11444, maybe we will luck out and my mom's new laptop will suffer from that problem
[15:43] <Guest11444> pfifo,  get her a dell!
[15:43] <Trond--> are there gonna be ubuntu-classroom today?
[15:44] <Guest11444> pfifo,  I think your mom would love a dell studio 1747
[15:44]  * BluesKaj wonders where those OT cops disappeared to :)
[15:44] <Guest11444> pfifo,  that core i7 processor is just what she needs
[15:44] <pfifo> Guest11444, no this is a acer, older model on clearance
[15:45] <eiriksvin> ravn: try seeing if its even being recognised by opening a terminal and typing lsusb
[15:45] <netspy> Trond--: maybe in the next room
[15:45] <Guest11444> hahaha nuts
[15:45] <Trond--> netspy, I am in the #ubuntu-classroom
[15:45] <pfifo> Guest11444, but your right my mom would love that dell lappy, so long as it has a numberpad
[15:45] <eiriksvin> ravn: there may be a firware issue involved
[15:45] <BluesKaj> ravn, what kind of spectrometer ?
[15:46] <eiriksvin> oops firmware
[15:46] <Guest11444> pfifo, it does, and a 17 inch monitor
[15:46] <ravn>  BluesKaj: Ocean Optics USB 2000
[15:47] <ravn> eiriksvin: there is one line listing it, but there is no name printed there...
[15:47] <zlikeyou> hi
[15:47] <eiriksvin> ravn: then it is a driver or firmware related issue
[15:47] <zlikeyou> is there someone?
[15:48] <eiriksvin> ravn: one moment, I'm searching for a driver fix
[15:48] <julie> Hi zlikeyou, do you have a question?
[15:48] <ravn> eiriksvin: ok, what does that mean? I though I could send and receive commands to any usb device no matter what?
[15:48] <ravn> eiriksvin: ok, thanks.
[15:48] <zlikeyou> yes, I have a problem with GTK-Gnutella, it doesn't wanna load!!
[15:49] <julie> ravn, you can communicate with it through USB, but that doesn't mean you'll know which commands to send and how to interpret the results
[15:49] <Sahar> hi
[15:49] <white-horse> hi guys does anyone here know how i can see my old mac os x drive on ubuntu 11.04 64 bit ?
[15:49] <Sahar> finally i find here
[15:49] <eiriksvin> ravn: some USB devices need to be run using a specified driver or proprietary firmware, although sometimes you can run it native
[15:50] <zlikeyou> yes, I have a problem with GTK-Gnutella, it doesn't wanna load!!
[15:50] <ravn> julie: yes, right, but I know the commands (I think :) from the Windows LabView VISA drivers that exists...
[15:50] <Sahar> i wanna use a partition in my ubuntu that before was in 7
[15:50] <Sahar> how can i do it
[15:50] <Sahar> ols help me
[15:51] <Sahar> is there any here?
[15:51] <Sahar> plss :(
[15:51] <zlikeyou> I wanna use my partition of ubuntu to install debian 6.0 and I wanna keep all my video and other things is it possible?
[15:51] <BluesKaj> ravn, what end use is the spectrometer, for measuring what ? This may be relavent . but I'm not certain.
[15:52] <Guest11444> MonkeyDust, so the line should be GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and add atkbd.reset

[15:52] <Sahar> ok
[15:52] <Guest11444> sorry
[15:52] <Sahar> sure
[15:52] <zlikeyou> I wanna use my partition of ubuntu to install debian 6.0 and I wanna keep all my video and other things is it possible?
[15:52] <ravn> BluesKaj: well, not sure I understand what you wondering, but it is for 200-1100 nm light with SMA 905 connector...
[15:52] <Sahar> i wrote my question

[15:53] <eiriksvin> Guest11444: thank you for reposting my questing while I am trying to help ravn :P'
[15:53] <Guest11444> it was an accident
[15:54] <Sahar> i wanna use a partition in my ubuntu that before was in 7
[15:54] <julie> Sahar, is your new ubuntu install using the same partitions (or installed over) your 7 partition?
[15:54] <Sahar> i mean os 7
[15:54] <julie> yes
[15:54] <MonkeyDust> !details| Sahar
[15:54] <Sahar> i ok
[15:54] <Sahar> ubuntu 10.10
[15:55] <zlikeyou> I wanna use my partition of ubuntu10.04  install debian 6.0 and I wanna keep all my video and other things is it possible?
[15:55] <Guest11444> eiriksvin, I hink the binary drivers usually mess up the splash screen...I read a work-around where you allowed the splash screen to load by waiting until all the drivers are loaded instead of going to the login
[15:55] <Sahar> when i use df -h i can see an eztended in it
[15:55] <Sahar> i wanna use it in ubuntu
[15:56] <KNUBBIG> Hey, I got a problem with my plymouth: On shtudown, it displays correctly, but on startup, it displays nothing, just my GRUB2-Background image. Any ideas?
[15:56] <Sahar> there is no 7 os in my laptop
[15:56] <MonkeyDust> Sahar: please ur question in one line, so we do not have to scroll up
[15:56] <zlikeyou> Not sure Sahar but maybe if you use Gparted??
[15:56] <wvusoldier> oh boy huge room
[15:56] <zlikeyou> you said it
[15:56] <RenaKunisaki> so, I want to report a problem with ehci_hcd crashing; is there something I can do first to check if it's a hardware fault? I didn't have any issues with USB on a live CD, but it seems to be just an occasional random crash...
[15:56] <julie> Sahar, giving us the output you get from mount and "fdisk -l" could help
[15:56] <zlikeyou> I wanna use my partition of ubuntu10.04  install debian 6.0 and I wanna keep all my video and other things is it possible?
[15:56] <RenaKunisaki> all my USB devices suddenly disconnect/freak out and reconnect as USB 1.1
[15:56] <Sahar> iok
[15:56] <wvusoldier> I have an issue installing ubuntu 10.10...it's hanging on "Ready when you are"
[15:57] <wvusoldier> could use a hand
[15:57] <wvusoldier> any takers

[15:59] <eiriksvin> ravn: omg I can't find anything but the drivers for it, there is no ref to it in the forums, or even and relative posts... that must be a very obscure problem
[15:59] <ravn>  BluesKaj: yeah, ok, Well, I'm working on nano-photonics looking at NEMS.
[15:59] <KNUBBIG> I got a problem with my plymouth: On shtudown, it displays correctly, but on startup, it displays nothing, just my GRUB2-Background image. Any ideas?
[16:00] <julie> Sahar, unfortunately missed the main information so paste it on http://paste.ubuntu.com and give us the link
[16:00] <chomping> i'm trying to implement zfs using raid-z but I'm not sure if do I have to format my disk drives during installation as software raid, or its fine to do it after the whole system is installed?
 Is there a way to load the splashscreen, then load the binary drivers?
[16:00] <Sahar> ok
[16:00] <ravn> eiriksvin: well, yes, I don't think anyone has done it since it is a quite specific product, and there are working windows drivers...
[16:00] <Sahar> i got it
[16:01] <gercog> Hi everybody! My ubuntu no longer auto mount any usb-drive or cd-disk. Does anybody can help?
[16:01] <Sahar> http://paste.ubuntu.com/623481/
[16:01] <eiriksvin> ravn: yeah I found the windows drivers, but looking into how to implement those windows drivers on Linux is the next part... not having much luck either
[16:01] <BajK> how can I record my speaker output (+ microphone) with audacity or so?
[16:02] <Sahar> and i hv fedoa to in my laptop
[16:02] <BajK> there is no "Steereo Mix" output, I can only access the microphone and line in things
[16:02] <And_I> i have a microsd in my vodafone845 that must be writeabel, how can i make the ext2/ext3-part of the  microsd-card save my files ?
[16:02] <netspy> its better to let some people know how to use http://paste.ubuntu.com
[16:02] <sproaty> is there a way to control which monitor OSD notifications are displayed on? I have two monitors and they always appear on the secondary one

[16:03] <basil_kurian_> I have one problem related to cloudera(hadoop) in ubuntu. Can i ask it here ?
[16:03] <bad_alloc> Hello I'm running an old ubuntu 8.10 (compatability reasons) and i cannot connect to wireless networks. DHCPDISCOVER fails with any wifi-manager I've tried (network-manager, wifi-radar and rutilt) This is the output I get in terminal when running any of those wifi-programs: http://cxg.de/_df1114.htm  How do I fix this?
[16:03] <bad_alloc> basil_kurian_:never ask to ask
[16:04] <pfifo> bad_alloc, can you paste bin 'iwconfig' and 'iwlist'
[16:05] <Guest11444> eiriksvin, I think there is a way of doing that, but i can't remember where I saw the instructions (this was for 10.10 btw)
[16:05] <basil_kurian_> I 'm getting this error on starting jobtracker service of cloudera  "Failed to operate on mapred.system.dir (hdfs://hadoop-namenode.shadow.local:9000/dfs/mapred) because of permissions. org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobTracker: This directory should be owned by the user 'mapred'"
[16:06] <codazoda> gedit will not die.  'sudo kill -9 6277' does not kill the process.  Thoughts?
[16:06] <bad_alloc> pfifo: sorry no, the notebook is currently somewhere else. But I can tell you that It's the dell intel chipset on wlan0 and an ALFA awus036H I'm using. neither works.
[16:06] <julie> Sahar, which partition were you planning to use?  I don't see any empty space there although some partitions are not mounted
[16:06] <basil_kurian_> however on ls -l , the pernission is   drwxrwxrwx 6 mapred hadoop 4096 2011-06-10 17:37 mapred
[16:06] <bad_alloc> pfifo: not a hardware fault though, the parallel windows can use wifi
[16:07] <Sahar> there is extended partition there that i dont need it bcs i dont hv 7 os now
[16:07] <sipior> codazoda: probably a zombie. can you paste the relevant output line from ps?
[16:07] <pfifo> bad_alloc, to fix the dhcpdiscover error... connect to a network with a dhcp server
[16:07] <Sahar> and i hv fedora 2
[16:07] <BluesKaj> ravn, I think most iirc most spectroscopy apps /software was MS based , but I've been retired for 12 yrs now , so things harware/software definitely does chang ve rthe ys
[16:08] <Sahar> and i hv fedora also that i cant see it in my boot menu after install ubuntu
[16:08] <BluesKaj> err over the yrs
[16:08] <bad_alloc> pfifo: the network definately has a dhcp server, as two other computers use that server. only this notebook fails at it.
[16:08] <codazoda> gedit won't die.  kill -9 fails to work.  Output (http://pastebin.com/S7NMt8FG).
[16:08] <julie> Sahar, you have to keep in mind that the extended partition is just a mapping partition and it is allocated in the partitions that follow it
[16:08] <pfifo> bad_alloc, sounds like your unable to connect to that network
[16:09] <Sahar> i dont need it . it wan in use of 7
[16:09] <Sahar> now i want format it
[16:09] <codazoda> I believe this is causing "suspend" problems randomly.  Since the process refuses to die.  Reboot the only option?  Seems... wrong.
[16:09] <julie> Sahar, partitions sda5-8 are mapped on the extended partition and are all of Linux types
[16:10] <Sahar> yes
[16:10] <sipior> codazoda: the process is waiting on i/o, and can't be interrupted in its current state.
[16:10] <eiriksvin> ravn: I can't find anything worth saying
[16:10] <th0r> codazoda: I assume you tried to kill it as joel first
[16:10] <BluesKaj> codazoda, open system onitor , find gedit and signal, terminate
[16:10] <BluesKaj> monitor
[16:10] <julie> Sahar, so there doesn't seem to be any remaining Windows partitions
[16:10]  * BluesKaj checks KB batteries
[16:10] <bad_alloc> pfifo: yes. but why? do I have to deal with it™ or could you give me some pointers to further resources?
[16:11] <codazoda> sipior: The io will never occur then.  I want to force it to die anyway.  No way?
[16:11] <codazoda> sipior: I suspect the io might be from a fuse mount, which has gone away.
[16:11] <pfifo> bad_alloc, use iwconfig and iwscan to try and connect manually
[16:11] <polm> Why would aptitude tell me that a package has unmet dependencies that will not be installed and not install it?
[16:11] <polm> Sorry, apt-get
[16:11] <pfifo> bad_alloc, see where it fails in that process
[16:12] <KNUBBIG> Is it safe for Unity to build gnome-shell from source?
[16:12] <sipior> codazoda: that sounds about right. you used -f to remove the volume?
[16:12] <Sahar> ok i think wrong thanks... but how can i see fedora in my boot menu again
[16:12] <bad_alloc> pfifo: ok thanks for your time :)
[16:12] <codazoda> sipior: No.  Fuse just has bugs.  I disconnected from the network, probably.
[16:12] <julie> !grub
[16:12] <codazoda> sipior: Without unmounting, I imagine.
[16:12] <sipior> codazoda: make sure the volume is really gone and unmounted.
[16:12] <sipior> codazoda: the process should then become unstuck.
[16:13] <pfifo> bad_alloc, ive heard other praise wicd for is ability to connect to wireless when nm fails
[16:13] <bad_alloc> pfifo: I've tried to install that once on that particular machine. as a result I lost most of my network config stuff.
[16:14] <pfifo> bad_alloc, well yeah its an entirely seprate system from NM
[16:14] <Sahar>  how can i see fedora in my boot menu again.. i loss it after install fedora
[16:15] <FCdll> Flash videos no longer saved in /tmp directory
[16:15] <pfifo> Sahar, run `sudo update-grub`
[16:15] <bad_alloc> pfifo: do you know if the nvidia GeForce 8400 G is supported in newer verseions of ubuntu (10.04+)
[16:15] <Sahar> ok
[16:15] <siavoshkc> Sahar?
[16:15] <julie> pfifo, that won't work for Sahar's case
[16:15] <Sahar> yes
[16:15] <siavoshkc> ow
[16:16] <bad_alloc> pfifo: I'm using 8.10 because of alledgedly unavalibale drivers for that graphics card. (i.e. without them the fan doesn't work and the card idles at 80°C)
[16:16] <pfifo> bad_alloc, the nvidia site shows which cards are supported by the current blob, it should be
[16:16] <BluesKaj> bad_alloc, . I run a 8400gs without any probs on 11.10
[16:16] <codazoda> sipior: Found a fuse mount that says "resource busy" got to be it.  Trying to unmount anyway (since the network went away).
[16:16] <julie> Sahar, I would suggest you boot in fedora from a restore / install disk and redo its boot configuration to be on the partition itself instead of the mbr, then restart in ubuntu and configure grub to just boot off that partition as a new menu entry...  there are other ways to do it but this is the simplest I can think of
[16:17] <pfifo> julie, why not os-prober finds my gentoo
[16:17] <AdvoWork> hi there. im trying to get dual monitors working in ubuntu, when i goto screen resolution, its showing two monitors.. ive had to apply a setting change, log back in, out etc, ive rebooted, but i cant see anything on the 2nd screen, even if i mirror. any ideas please?
[16:17] <Guest11444> eiriksvin, http://askubuntu.com/questions/6033/enabling-nvidia-driver-messes-up-splash-screen I think the solution i used earlier was similar to this...read the comments below, especially the 3rd answer
[16:17] <bad_alloc> ok new disto it is, thanks #ubuntu
[16:17] <sipior> codazoda: right. try the "lazy unmount" option (-z) if you have problems removing the volume.
[16:18] <siavoshkc> AdvoWork: can we see the part of xorg.conf relating to monitors?
[16:18] <julie> pfifo, are you on a wubi install?
[16:18] <codazoda> sipior: Err. Killed all my fuse mounts (one with -uz) and gedit still refuses to die.  Bugger.
[16:18] <pfifo> julie, no
[16:18] <Guest11444> eiriksvin, but it's for 10.10 so make backups if you're running another version
[16:19] <sipior> codazoda: hmm. you've verified they're no longer visible?
[16:19] <sipior> codazoda: might be stuck rebooting, i'm sorry to say.
[16:19] <AdvoWork> siavoshkc, its: http://pastebin.com/dVFif05R
[16:19] <pfifo> codazoda, `sudo killall -9 gedit`
[16:19] <codazoda> Yup.  There is one thing in there still.  fusectl on /sys/ffusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
[16:20] <Sahar> u mean i istall fedora again:?
[16:20] <siavoshkc> ok
[16:20] <sipior> codazoda: that always a last resort, of course, but if the i/o wait doesn't resolve itself...
[16:20] <julie> Sahar, no you just boot it with the install / restore disk and redo the boot configuration
[16:20] <Sahar> julie pls say clear
[16:20] <codazoda> sipior: Problem is that this happens all the time.  I'm tired of rebooting and need to "fix" the problem.
[16:21] <siavoshkc> Sahar: are you from iran?
[16:21] <codazoda> pfifo: killall does not work.  kill -9 does not work.  User, root, doesn't matter.
[16:21] <Sahar> yes
[16:21] <siavoshkc> ok
[16:21] <julie> Sahar, unfortunately I don't know the exact steps to take in Fedora and this would be off-topic here
[16:21] <pfifo> codazoda, what error message does it give?
[16:21] <Sahar> ok tx bye the way
[16:22] <codazoda> pfifo: None.  See the paste bin. http://pastebin.com/S7NMt8FG
 thanks, I'm looking into it now
[16:22] <sproaty> oooh...interesting. If I add a new gnome panel to the top of the screen and move the "indicator applet" to it. notifications appear below it, on the correct monitor. With a single panel at the bottom of the screen, notifications get pushed to the top-right of my secondary monitor :-/
[16:22] <sipior> codazoda: problem with fuse, i'm afraid.
[16:22] <AdvoWork> siavoshkc, also, if i move my mouse or a document out of this monitor, it appears to go somewhere(but you cant see it) Also, since doing that ive now got 4 blocks(desktop bits) bottom right, but only 2 have stuff in
[16:22] <julie> pfifo, sorry I don't see why os-loader wouldn't detect your Linux install and it is poorly documented
[16:22] <szal> thisismygame: what's weird about that?
[16:22] <julie> pfifo, sorry not os-loader, os-prober
[16:23] <codazoda> sipior: No doubt.  There's probably a solution somewhere thought.  Like unmount all fuse mounts on suspend and/or power down.  Maybe that would fix it, at least in the future.
[16:23] <codazoda> *though
[16:24] <codazoda> sipior: Thanks for the info.  Knowing to look for io is helpful for future troubleshooting.  I'll figure out how to unmount on suspend / shutdown.

[16:25] <rpk> Hello, I'm running ubuntu 11.04 (classic), and with Remmina Remote Desktop Client, when running in fullscreen, the horizontal scroll bar on the bottom of the screen renders below the window, which is underneath the application bar that is displayed there.  How do I fix this?
[16:26] <siavoshkc> AdvoWork: did you edit this file?
[16:26] <AdvoWork> siavoshkc, im not sure, not recently :s but may have in the past

[16:29] <edbian> AdvoWork: perhaps sudo lspci | grep ati    would be helpful

[16:31] <netspy> want to try recovering my wep key without resetting the unit. using aircrack-ng but got this output
[16:33] <pfifo> netspy, no output?
[16:33] <julie> netspy, how can anyone here be sure you're not trying to hack your neighboor's connection?  helping you would be very risky
[16:34] <galerien> Hi guys, is there anything I should know before installing gnome3 on my U11.04 ? (I've installed a lot of stuff already, is that going to be a problem?)
[16:34] <balleyne> I tried to switch from Desktop Wall to the desktop Cube in the CompizConfig Settings Manager in Ubuntu 11.04, with the Ubuntu Classic profile, and my compiz settings are borked -- no window borders, no alt-tab, no workspace switching... how can I restore the Ubuntu Classic defaults?
[16:34] <RenaKunisaki> what package should I tell apport-cli to report a USB/ehci_hcd problem?
[16:34] <pfifo> julie, the knowledge can be used either way, its on him if hes doing something illegal
[16:34] <galerien> netspy, go to backtrack chan, and they will tell you "!neighbors" ^^
[16:35] <netspy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/623506/
[16:35] <julie> pfifo, I disagree....  you can't go around giving tutorial on committing theft and releasing responsibility that it's up to them
[16:35] <galerien> pfifo, but it's on us if he hack someone, we've been providing the information
[16:36] <netspy> julie: doing this for my own security not theft. /me responsible person
[16:36] <balleyne> julie: depends if the tutorial is on committing theft directly, or merely on something that *might* be misused to commit theft
[16:37] <perlsyntax> Does anyone know how to setup wicd at boot time?
[16:37] <Guest11444> the name "netspy" does sound suspicious...
[16:37] <pfifo> netspy, your not in monitor mode, you might need to patch your driver, or better yet if your not already on a distro with ppatched drivers get backtrack or the aircrack livecd
[16:37] <perlsyntax> anyone use wicd before??
[16:37] <eamon> Hello, I would like to communicate over SILC, for privacy reasons. Does #ubuntu have a SILC server?

[16:38] <balleyne> anyone know how to restore Ubuntu Classic compiz settings in 11.04?
[16:38] <thisismygame> szal: mostly that it was a strange suggestion, and that it was seemingly unrelated. the solution, as pfifo said, was to put "nomodeset" in the grub command
[16:38] <perlsyntax> Does anyone know the steps to setup wicd in ubuntu for wireless.
[16:38] <netspy> thanks pfifo. i'ma check with backtrack
[16:39] <mwur> byomkeshbakshi: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/
[16:39] <perlsyntax> anyone
[16:39] <byomkeshbakshi> tldp.org
[16:39] <Guest11444> netspy, also, check if your wireless card is even on the supported list
[16:39] <balleyne> perlsyntax: have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WICD ?
[16:40] <coz_> hey guys I have a question... I am trying to find what may be using a particular keybinding   aks  super+1 or 2 etc,, however,, nothing in  the keybindings dialog or in gconf  reveals what is using these combinations,,, any suggestions?
[16:41] <rms_is_god> Is it possible to remove the hovering scollbar and still use Unity? The usability of the scrollbar is dreadful...
[16:41] <coz_> rms_is_god,  mm I dont believe so,, although the overlay scrollbar works well here
[16:41] <coz_> rms_is_god,  let me check
[16:42] <perlsyntax> yes i look at that link before.
[16:42] <coz_> rms_is_god,    http://ubuntu4beginners.blogspot.com/2011/04/disable-overlay-scrollbars-in-ubuntu.html   also try in google   ubuntu 11.04  disable overlay scrollbar for other posts
[16:42] <rms_is_god> coz_: Works well? You have to hover carefully over the thin scollbar, and then move the mouse yet again to find the buttons. It takes much longer than before to scroll
[16:42] <szal> thisismygame: if that really was the solution then all is well :) ..  thing is that, in my experience, analog video card-monitor connections exhibit problems you don't have w/ digital connections
[16:42] <rms_is_god> coz_: thanks
[16:42] <bradland> does anyone know what file the "Login Screen Settings" keeps its settings in? specifically, my system is set auto-login and use "Ubuntu Classic" and now I'm unable to connect through VNC.
[16:43] <galerien> Hi guys, is there anything I should know before installing gnome3 on my U11.04 ?
[16:43] <Digital_Man> Starting yesterday, Flash played 2 to 4 times as fast as it should and I'm not hearing any audio - even when trying to playback in Banshee.
[16:43] <szal> bleh..  who compiled lame for *buntu?
[16:43] <bradland> i'm able to ssh in, however, so if i can identify the appropriate file, i should be able to change it back
[16:43] <rms_is_god> galerien: That it'll take you twice as many clicks to do the same things
[16:43] <pfifo> szal, launchpad
[16:44] <perlsyntax> balleyne,It not connect to my wireless router still.
[16:44] <galerien> rms_is_god, I can't stand this new "search" thing and the way to get into my apps, I need this alt + F1 button
[16:44] <rms_is_god> galerien: tried Gnome Do?
[16:44] <galerien> rms_is_god, and I hardly use my mouse at all, synapse is my friend
[16:45] <thisismygame> szal: interesting. which?
[16:45] <galerien> rms_is_god, synapse, faster, and this new search thing is here and it's bugging me, even if I don't use it, it's here.....
[16:46] <galerien> rms_is_god, what I'd like to know is weather I'm going to have to update nvidia, x or anything else that is kind of dangerous....
[16:46] <balleyne> perlsyntax: wireless router, or your wireless card? (I've not really used wicd much mysql, but have played around with wireless)
[16:47] <szal> thisismygame: didn't find a pattern yet..  but w/ my 2nd machine, which I connected to my monitor via VGA, I've had 1280x1024 not showing, or tty not showing..  interestingly not w/ *buntu, w/ that (and Windblows) everything works, but w/ other distros I've had one or the other problem
[16:47] <rms_is_god> galerien: I'm not sure, I tried GNOME 3 on Fedora and hated it
 i got my splash screen back, using vga=792 and giving it a framebuffer, but now I have to fix the resolution of my splash screen
[16:47] <galerien> rms_is_god, ok, and it's integrated in fedora, thanks anyway !
[16:47] <eiriksvin_> its an nVIDIA driver issue
[16:48] <szal> pfifo: reason for my asking: it seems that lame doesn't take FLAC as input format on *buntu
[16:48] <eiriksvin_> does anyone know how to change to resolution of your splash screen?
[16:56] <eiriksvin_> how do I make my spash screen show at 1280x1024 resolution?

[16:58] <ImDexter> is there any open source pdf editor? I need to scan a book and upload it
[16:59] <Tetracomm> Hello.
[16:59] <coz_> ImDexter,  there are several    PDFedit comes to mind   http://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-pdf-editing-tools-for-ubuntu.html
[16:59] <Tetracomm> What does this mean?: nicholas@ubuntu:~$ fsck
[16:59] <Tetracomm> fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
[16:59] <Tetracomm> e2fsck 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010)
[16:59] <FloodBot1> Tetracomm: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:59] <Tetracomm> Truncating orphaned inode 1196777 (uid=1000, gid=1000, mode=0100644, size=0)
[16:59] <ikonia> Tetracomm: why are you running fsck ?
[17:00] <coz_> ImDexter,  Inkscape also deals with pdf files and can edit them as well
[17:00] <Tetracomm> Because of something weird that happened, but do you know what that means?
[17:00] <l0n3w0lf> ImDexter: Open Office 3 has some functionality, otherwise check out flpsed and PDFEdit
[17:01] <ikonia> Tetracomm: ok - but why are you running it, what made you decide to run fsck
[17:01] <ImDexter> open poffice is no longer in use in 11.04
[17:01] <ImDexter> coz, any recommendation?
[17:01] <eiriksvin> how do I make my spash screen show at 1280x1024 resolution?
[17:02] <l0n3w0lf> ImDexter: true, but you can still install it... you'll need the PDF extension... otherwise try out one of the other two?
[17:02] <Tetracomm> ikonia: A folder wouldn't show after I renamed it, and then I found it using file search, renamed it, and is showed again, then someone said to do a filesystem check. Is the message I sent you anything to worry about?
[17:02] <ikonia> Tetracomm: nothing to worry about at all, however an fsck shouldn't change the problem you've described
[17:02] <galerien> Anyone using ubuntu + gnome 3 ?
[17:03] <ikonia> galerien: there is no official gnome3+ubuntu+gnome-shell setup
[17:03] <mark__> I was messing around with compiz and it freaked out and reset a lot of the windowing settings to bare (no titlebar etc) I just noticed that all of my windows are missing the "file edit etc" bar. how do i get that back
[17:03] <galerien> ikonia, I know, that's why I'm carefully considering installing it
[17:03] <cordiceps> ffffffuuuuuuuu!!!11
[17:03] <julie> Tetracomm, please send us your output through http://paste.ubuntu.com as mentioned by the bot
[17:04] <cordiceps> UBUNTU!!11 y u not run in qemu??
[17:04] <ikonia> cordiceps: ?
[17:04] <l0n3w0lf> ImDexter: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfedit/
[17:04] <szal> pfifo: --verbose please
[17:04] <Tetracomm> julie: That is all I got, and I only typed fsck.
[17:05] <cordiceps> ikonia: latest ubuntu with ubiquity or gnome3 whatever does NOT run on qemu.
[17:05] <MonkeyDust> Tetracomm: copy paste the error message here http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[17:05] <julie> Tetracomm, we didn't see the whole output
[17:05] <ikonia> cordiceps: it does,
[17:06] <cordiceps> ikonia: it do not
[17:06] <ikonia> cordiceps: I assure you it does, why don't you explain the problem you're having rather than posting random noise to the channel
[17:06] <cordiceps> I am talking about the latest version.
[17:06] <ikonia> cordiceps: so am I
[17:06] <julie> cordiceps, ikonia is right, please give us the error you're getting
[17:07] <MonkeyDust> cordiceps: maybe you need to add more parameters to the qemu command
[17:07] <cordiceps> hhmph.. lemme find out. maybe I need -vga std
[17:08] <Tetracomm> julie: http://paste.ubuntu.com/623534/
[17:08] <ikonia> Tetracomm: nothing to worry about
[17:08] <pfifo> szal, ubuntu cant ship with certan drivers because the not licensed with a free licenst, lame and flac are good examples
[17:09] <szal> pfifo: and?  what's the issue there if I already installed both?
[17:09] <pfifo> szal, s/drivers/codecs/
[17:10] <pfifo> szal, youll have to compile flac support into lame, ubuntu cant ship it like that
[17:10] <Tetracomm> ikonia: Ok. Does that mean that something was wrong before I ran fsck?
[17:10] <ikonia> Tetracomm: not really no,
[17:10] <Tetracomm> ikonia: Ok. What is an orphaned inode?
[17:11] <julie> Tetracomm, the fixes made couldn't affect your directory listings but these errors are still a bit abnormal
[17:11] <ikonia> Tetracomm: think of it as a pointer to a file that the file no longer exists
[17:11] <szal> pfifo: sounds to me like a lame excuse (pun intended)..  if *buntu can ship both lame and flac separately, it can also ship transcoding capability between those two
[17:11] <cordiceps> ikonia: ok, which options do you pass qemu? I don't wanna spend all day trialing and erroring.
[17:11] <cordiceps> cd
[17:11] <cordiceps> oops
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> cordiceps: so you want us to do the job for you, we all learned by trial and error, and by tutorials
[17:12] <Tetracomm> julie: Ok, It is a Wubi setup. I installed it through Windows 7.
[17:12] <cordiceps> MonkeyDust: exactly.
[17:12] <szal> Tetracomm: s/through/in/
[17:13] <ikonia> cordiceps: I've not got an ubuntu machine to hand at this moment, apologies, but if you explain the error, I'm sure we can work it out
[17:13] <Yami_Bas> hello
[17:13] <Yami_Bas> a question how do i uninstall pulseaudio correctly and do i install alsamixer?
[17:13] <cordiceps> Tetracomm: what's wrong with you? I know how to run a VM, the only problem was ubiquity/gnome3 NOT being able to show up.
[17:13] <julie> Tetracomm, that doesn't really matter, but do you always shut it down properly or did it perhaps crash recently?
[17:13] <Yami_Bas> sudo apt-get install alsamixer doesnt work :(
[17:13] <HydroAssassin> Hello Everyone I recently updated pango from source and now my X fails to load due to a libpango1.0-cario error before it finally fully crashed X all my fonts were  [][][][]. Anyone have any idea? Tried a bunch of things ppl had put on ubuntu and backtracks forums to no sucess. http://www.pastebin.com/d0Jwpj0e#
[17:14] <Tetracomm> julie: There were a few power outages this week.
[17:14] <brown_fern> szal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[17:14] <Yami_Bas> hello can anyone help me with pulseuadio and alsamixer?
[17:15] <bassharmo> Hi! Anyone using VYM?
[17:15] <julie> Tetracomm, that explains it...  I would recommend you do a full disk check with "e2fsck -f device" in recovery mode
[17:15] <MonkeyDust> Yami_Bas: try sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio
[17:15] <Yami_Bas> just the normal command remove?
[17:16] <Tetracomm> julie: I wonder what device in this Wubi installation is. This is my first Wubi one.
[17:16] <Yami_Bas> nvm that thanks ;)
[17:16] <szal> brown_fern: that page doesn't explain why *buntu can ship lame but not compile FLAC support in
[17:16] <drPoO> Hi, How do can I make a program run at boot but using the command line???
[17:17] <Yami_Bas> alright :)
[17:17] <Yami_Bas> anyone knows how to install alsamixer?
[17:17] <julie> Tetracomm, your partition is in /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk
[17:17] <MonkeyDust> Yami_Bas: just type alsamixer in a terminal
[17:17] <Yami_Bas> i did
[17:17] <Yami_Bas> coulnt locate it
[17:18] <klown> sudo apt-get install alsamixergui
[17:18] <Yami_Bas> sudo apt-get install alsamixer Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package alsamixer
[17:18] <Yami_Bas> ;c
[17:18] <julie> Tetracomm, I'm not 100% sure what will get mounted in recovery mode.... you may need to mount your windows partition first

[17:18] <inckie> i have a problem with the time on an ubuntu server, my problem is, that it's 1 hour to fast, even tho the correct timezone is configured
[17:19] <klown> Yami_Bas, type in sudo apt-get install alsa, and press tab twice..it lists everything related to "alsa"
[17:19] <Yami_Bas> alright thanks :)
[17:19] <Thalius> inckie: have you set up a ntp service?
[17:19] <inckie> Thalius: yeah, and tried to force update
[17:19] <MonkeyDust> Yami_Bas: it probably is alsa-utils
[17:20] <klown> or alsa-base
[17:20] <inckie> sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com

[17:20] <inckie> Local time is now:      Fri Jun 10 19:14:44 CEST 2011
[17:20] <Yami_Bas> ill give the options in a pastebin
[17:20] <Yami_Bas> just a sec
[17:20] <inckie> but thats incorrect, it's 18.14
[17:20] <szal> Yami_Bas: the pkg is alsa-utils
[17:20] <Yami_Bas> http://pastebin.com/XS6gULFt
[17:21] <llutz> inckie: "grep UTC /etc/default/rcS "
[17:21] <Yami_Bas> i already have alsa-utils ;/
[17:21] <Yami_Bas> didnt know that lol
[17:21] <Yami_Bas> is it standard in ubuntu?
[17:21] <Thalius> inckie: it doesnt give a offset as a output when you try to sync?
[17:21] <drPoO> Hi, How do can I make a program run at boot but using the command line???
[17:21]  * Thalius needs to stop confusing his terminal with his xchat window
[17:21] <klown> Yami_Bas, Alsa is normally installed.
[17:22] <Yami_Bas> alright
[17:22] <inckie> Thalius: no, but i think i have addressed the problem, the time on the hypervisor is wrong
[17:22] <Yami_Bas> well i pruged pulseaudio since it's not liking my soundcard...
[17:22] <Yami_Bas> so installed alsamixergui
[17:22] <Yami_Bas> and i should be good to go?
[17:23] <Tetracomm> julie: http://paste.ubuntu.com/623543/
[17:23] <r1chm> hi everyone, does anyone know a (relatively simple) way to make HDMI audio output work with the Nvidia ION gfx?
[17:23] <Thalius> aah, and you had the vm tools sync the time with the hypervisor. Had the same mistake once.
[17:23] <klown> Possibly..it depends on why your card didnt like pulse.
[17:23] <Polah> r1chm, audio output with graphics? That makes no sense.
[17:23] <r1chm> i tried a few suggestions from online but non seemed to work :(
[17:23] <Yami_Bas> its creative
[17:23] <Yami_Bas> pulse doesnt like creative cards XD
[17:23] <Yami_Bas> so i've read
[17:23] <inckie> Thalius: time is correct now hehe, yeah. i configured some NTP servers in esxi now, should'nt have that problem in the future, thx for your time.
[17:23] <Yami_Bas> and it didnt support the spdif out on mine...
[17:23] <Yami_Bas> so yeah...
[17:23] <r1chm> Polah,  its a HDMI output. HDMI carries both audio and video?
[17:24] <Yami_Bas> i got digital stereo though but it choked on SPDIF
[17:24] <Yami_Bas> however ALSA doesnt even detect my USB soundcard...
[17:24] <jimmy51_> i'm trying to net boot my livecd off of an NFS share but on boot i get a permission denied error when trying to mount the share.  what do i need to do?  i set up the share following this guide:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo
[17:24] <Yami_Bas> maybe a reboot is required?
[17:24] <And_I> cu all
[17:24] <brown_fern> szal: I just got in here and wasn't around for the entire conversation, but pointing out the general nature of Linux distributions not including built-in support for some key media types was the point of my posting that page.
[17:24] <Polah> r1chm: I wouldn't think a graphics output would be sending audio thought.
[17:24] <klown> Ah, ok.  you can try installing it.  try sudo apt-get install alsa-base
[17:25] <Sidewinder1> HDMI connects digital audio/video sources
[17:25] <Yami_Bas> klown: are you talking to me|?
[17:25] <klown> Yami_Bas, yes, sorry, ment to highlight
[17:25] <r1chm> Polah, im not too sure, the HDMI out in my windows PC does sound & audio i jsut assumed the HDMI out on this ubuntu pc would also
[17:25] <drPoO> how can I make a custom script execute with root privileges at boot time?"
[17:25] <julie> Tetracomm, did you run that with root mounted?  and did you restart after?
[17:25] <Yami_Bas> because i already did that :( doesn't work (and np ;))
[17:26] <szal> brown_fern: the issue at hand is that I installed lame and flac from *buntu installation sources and was wondering why lame won't take FLAC as input format
[17:26] <llutz> drPoO: add it to /etc/rc.local
[17:26] <r1chm> Polah,  i mean gfx and audio ;-)

[17:26] <MonkeyDust> drPoO: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Autostart_Programs
[17:26] <einseenai> hello, guys, how can i make my manual search engine default in chromium 12 in ubuntu 10.10?
[17:26] <camaleon> Who let the fogs out ?
[17:26] <MonkeyDust> drPoO: nvm, that is for gentoo
[17:26] <Polah> r1chm: Well, if it's a motherboard onboard output it might do, but if it's an output from a GPU it shouldn't have audio. Unless the card is some sort of audio/visual processor since it's for compact laptops (right?)
[17:27] <jevidl> r1chm: Do you have a digital audio source hooked up to your video card? I ran into that problem on my machine, but I can't remember if audio pass through is working in linux. Also, another quirk on my system is that I need to change between the sound card output and the built in audio output if I want to send audio over HDMI. This is because of the way I have things hooked up.
[17:27] <ikonia> camaleon: ?
[17:27] <szal> camaleon: did your mom forget to close the window while cooking? ;)
[17:27] <drPoO> thnx llutz
[17:27] <ikonia> szal: stop it - don't cause a problem
[17:27] <adac> pse
[17:27] <einseenai> anybody?
[17:27] <jevidl> r1chm: sorry, didn't realize this was a laptop. I'd hope that it's hookd up from the factory. Mine was a self build so I had to learn a little bit about it in the process.
[17:28] <r1chm> the set up is a Shuttle XS35GT with the onboard Nvidia ION GFX, plugged into a HD monitor/TV with HDMI cable.
[17:28] <r1chm> not quite a laptop :-)
[17:28] <MonkeyDust> einseenai: click right on the address
[17:29] <jevidl> r1chm: ok. :) I'd check your manual and see if there's a jumper that needs to be set, or a wire hooked up. I know on my desktop I had to connect my SPDIF/OUT to the video card so that it had a signal to pass through in the first place. After that was done, I just have to be sure to select the output that is connected to the video card when i want to pass audio through.
[17:29] <hittt_> How can i run a script/program at startup as <user> ?
[17:29] <einseenai> MonkeyDust, already did. i can make any engine default, but not my own.
[17:30] <llutz> hittt_: add it to your user crontab "@reboot ...."

[17:30] <jevidl> r1chm: make sense?
[17:31] <ikonia> !mirrors | cordiceps
[17:31] <hittt_> hmm crontab
[17:31] <Yami_Bas> im baffled tbh :(
[17:31] <Yami_Bas> i really want SPDIF to work >.<
[17:31] <hittt_> ya that will probably work, never thought of it!
[17:31] <Yami_Bas> else i still have to use windows for media purpopes >.<
[17:31] <hittt_> is this the way myqsld starts as user 'mysql' at startup?
[17:32] <r1chm> jevidl, kind of, but i dont understand why the video would work and the audio not when its a HDMI cable carrying both signals... plus the Nvidia ION hdmi output is built in so there is nothing else to plug in.... the only other sound output is a 3.5mm jack plug for normal speakers
[17:33] <Polah> r1chm: Are you audio settings configured to use that device and output for output?
[17:33] <jevidl> r1chm: you might need to enable the correct audio output when you want to send it over HDMI vs. connected speakers
[17:34] <r1chm> oh yes i tried this before hang on let me check (this is the nth install) after switching versions of Ubuntu / FEdora to try and get it working ;-)
[17:34] <klown> Yami_Bas, have you read over http://alsa.opensrc.org/DigitalOut  yet?
[17:34] <GOP-USA_dotcom> http://members.beforeitsnews.com/story/700/420/Bitcoin_the_Bit-con:_Avoid_the_Bubble,_Stay_High_and_Dry.html
[17:34] <camaleon> mebsd , who let the dogs out ?
[17:34] <rww> !ot | GOP-USA_dotcom
[17:35] <Yami_Bas> no :(
[17:35] <Yami_Bas> klown: will do just a sec :)
[17:35] <r1chm> polah & jevidl -  this is interesting last time I had an option to select HDMI audio output (i did select it and it still didnt work) however this time it is not an option?
[17:35] <Polah> r1chm: What are you using to configure it?
[17:36] <r1chm> i right clicked on sound preferences Polah
[17:36] <r1chm> on the hardware tab and output tab
[17:36] <Agent008> q
[17:36] <Agent008> q
[17:36] <Polah> r1chm: The default pulse settings? Try installing pavucontrol, it might give you some better options. There's also an advanced ALSA configuration tool you could use instead but I can't recall the name.
[17:37] <Yami_Bas> klown: one problem though
[17:37] <Yami_Bas> alsa doesnt recognise my soundcard...
[17:37] <Yami_Bas> :(
[17:37] <Sidewinder1> Agent008, And your support question is..?
[17:37] <r1chm> ok ill get pavucontrol now and see what it does
[17:37] <klown> Yami_Bas, Does ubuntu recognize it?
[17:37] <Yami_Bas> pulseaudio did
[17:38] <Yami_Bas> but it didnt enable me to passthrough spdif
[17:38] <Agent008> I ganna take a shower... see you guys
[17:38] <Yami_Bas> so i guess ubuntu does too...
[17:38] <jevidl> r1chm: If you don't have to configure it, another possibility is that the driver did not load correctly, or the correct driver didn't load. If the enhanced configuration tools don't work, you might want to make sure it's identified correctly and loading the correct modules.
[17:39] <r1chm> polah, pavucontrol is pulseaudio volume control?
[17:39] <jevidl> r1chm: you do get normal audio from the 3.5mm speaker jack, correct?
[17:39] <Polah> r1chm: Yes.
[17:39] <r1chm> jevidl, unfortunatly i am completly new to ubuntu so i dont know how to do that? :-(
[17:40] <r1chm> jevidl, 3.5 jack was working last install - havent tried it this install....
[17:40] <jevidl> r1chm: the basic procedure is to identify what module your sound card uses, and then execute "lsmod | grep <module_name>" and see if it's loaded
[17:40] <sunredsky> Are there desktops that come preloaded with linux or do I have to get a Windows machine and do it manually?
[17:40] <ManateeLazyCat> 我是 Linux Deepin 的开发者， 现在正在为 Linux Deepin 软件中心开发白名单， 但是需要对1960 个软件的介绍进行中文化, 现在已经完成了 267 个， 大家有没有兴趣帮助我们翻译这些介绍？ 我开发了一个批量翻译的工具 (https://github.com/manateelazycat/deepin-translate-tools ), 翻译一个软件简介相当简单。
[17:40] <jevidl> r1chm: I would double check that. If it worked once, it should work but you never know :)
[17:41] <ManateeLazyCat> Sorry for Chinese, i'm looking for Chinese people help me translation all linux software's summary to Chinese.
[17:41] <rww> ManateeLazyCat: Try #ubuntu-cn instead.
[17:41] <llutz> !cn | ManateeLazyCat
[17:41] <Yami_Bas> klown: brb gotta reboot
[17:42] <camaleon> robche , who let the dogs out ?
[17:42] <cordiceps> hey, I am sorry but I am NOT seeing the mirrors.
[17:42] <ManateeLazyCat> For my software center (http://hi.baidu.com/feisit/blog/item/847750f4f3e0ee76ddc474de.html)
[17:42] <ManateeLazyCat> rww: Yes, i did, but nobody response.
[17:42] <ManateeLazyCat> rww: I will try #ubuntu-tw
[17:42] <_alazar> I've installed apt-build, which architecture should I chose for a Intel i5 2 core (4 virtual) first gen? http://pastebin.com/WHfFL2iA
[17:42] <rww> camaleon: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support, not nonsense. Please adjust your output accordingly.
[17:42] <ManateeLazyCat> deepin software center (http://hi.baidu.com/feisit/blog/item/847750f4f3e0ee76ddc474de.html) also can instead Ubuntu's software center.
[17:42] <Polah> sunredsky: I know there's a couple of laptop companies that do Linux distributions, I think Lenovo did. I recall seeing an option for some kind of Linux on iBuyPower perhaps.
[17:43] <ManateeLazyCat> rww: OK
[17:43] <camaleon> nonsense makes sences when nothing else matters
[17:43] <cordiceps> I need a mirror for usa, so I can continue my download. Ubuntu used to list mirrors.
[17:43] <jpds> cordiceps: mirror.anl.gov
[17:43] <rww> camaleon: Uh huh. Perhaps you should investigate #ubuntu-offtopic instead.
[17:44] <hypatia> cordiceps: software centre --> software sources
[17:44] <hypatia> cordiceps: there's a mirror list and a speed tester thingy in there
[17:44] <cordiceps> hypatia: no, a mirror to dowload the install cd, not for packages.
[17:44] <jpds> cordiceps: mirror.anl.gov
[17:45] <cordiceps> jpds: yeah thanks
[17:45] <TianChang> hello people
[17:45] <TianChang> Could I ask some qs here?
[17:45] <TianChang> about Natty, coz I just upgraded it
[17:45] <jpds> TianChang: You just did, proceed.
[17:45] <jevidl> I am working on a project to setup centrally managed public SSH keys. I had hoped to declare multiple files in the AuthorizedKeysFile statement, but this does not appear possible on most linux implementations, and may only be available on OpenBSD. Does anyone know how to use multiple AuthorizedKeysFile's in Ubuntu?
[17:45] <Yami_Bas> now lets hope it works :D
[17:45] <r1chm> Polah, pulse audio isnt listing my HDMI output... which suggests the driver isnt installed?
[17:46] <sunredsky> polah: what do most of you guys do to get a machine on your desktop?  I have only bought Windows pcs up till now, but I want to try linux.  Should I get a used pc?  How much should I spend if i just want basic features (mostly command line for development stuff)?
[17:46] <TianChang> THank you. I manged to figure out the main problems after upgrading to Natty. But sometimes, my browser or the compiz window just won't respond to my mouse clicks
[17:46] <ikonia> jevidl: just put multiple entries in the sshd_config
[17:46] <jevidl> r1chm: or that the correct driver does not offer SPDIF support :)
[17:46] <cordiceps> lovely
[17:46] <Polah> r1chm: It's not detecting the output certainly, if it exists. It could be a driver issue, yes.
[17:46] <TianChang> I can see the name of the tab or window changing, but it isn't reacting on my screen as it should be.
[17:46] <jevidl> ikonia: I will try that again. I though I tried that, and it only checked the first entry in the config
[17:46] <new2net> Whats the difference between the desktop and server iso found here http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/     is it just a few less apt-get?
[17:46] <hittt_> hm, 2nd question, i have Gnome running as the desktop manager, but KDE as the login manager, how can i tell ubuntu to use gdm for the login manager aswell?
[17:46] <jevidl> ikonia: give me a few, I'll check that route again
[17:46] <r1chm> Polah, i have found another driver in the "hardware drivers" dialog ill try that...
[17:47] <Polah> sunredsky: You can just download the iso and burn it to a disk or install it on a USB drive to try Linux. You can make a new partition on your hard drive and install, there's no need for a whole new system
[17:47] <TianChang> so yup. I don't even know what keyword to use for this problem...
[17:47] <spartan07> hey guys does 11.04 have the scheduler patch for the desktop boost enabled? I know it has the right kernal 2.6.38.
[17:47] <r1chm> Polah, ive lied. it says its already activated :-(
[17:47] <jrib> new2net: yes and server kernel instead of generic
[17:47] <llutz> hittt_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[17:48] <hittt_> gotta reboot
[17:48] <Polah> r1chm, I can't really help you with driver issues. Sorry.
[17:48] <sunredsky> Polah: ok thanks. I should use ubuntu for that?
[17:48] <ramu492> hi
[17:48] <new2net> jrib: I see. Any way to just switch my kernel or will that be messy?
[17:48] <ramu492> can anyonr say what is .config file?
[17:48] <ramu492> and where can is see it?
[17:49] <ramu492> can anyone say what is .config file?
[17:49] <jrib> new2net: just install linux-image-server (and you'll likely want to remove linux-image-generic)
[17:49] <Polah> sunredsky: You can try any Linux distribution you want. Ubuntu would be the easiest for you to use I imagine. You can get the .iso from the Ubuntu website.
[17:49] <ramu492> can anyone say what is .config file? where is it located??
[17:49] <jrib> ramu492: do you mean the ~/.config directory?
[17:49] <sunredsky> Polah:  Thanks a lot :)
[17:49] <ramu492> yes
[17:50] <r1chm> Polah, im going to get the latest driver from the Nvidia website... how do i tell whether i am using 32 bit or 64 bit linux i cant remember which i downloaded.....
[17:50] <jrib> ramu492: ~ means your HOME, usually /home/username
[17:50] <ramu492> okay
[17:50] <ramu492> i need to edit .config file?
[17:50] <ramu492> what does that mean?
[17:51] <spartan07> hey guys does 11.04 Natty have the scheduler patch for the desktop boost enabled?
[17:51] <Polah> r1chm: uname -i, i386 = 32-bit, amd64 = 64-bit
[17:51] <ramu492> i need to edit .config file?
[17:51] <gail> I have Ubuntu 1104 natty. Kinda new to it, but I'm not doing bad. BUT, I can get my hp laserjet 1000 to work with it. help!
[17:52] <Polah> ramu492, actually telling us what the config file is for would help. There's thousands of files that could be named as such on your system.
[17:52] <klown> ramu492, you are going to have to be a little bit more specific.  Who/what is telling you to edit the .config file..why do you need to edit it..and lastly, .config file for what?
[17:52] <ramu492> i am doing dual boot
[17:52] <ramu492> for
[17:52] <robin0800> r1chm, try alsamixer in a terminal
[17:52] <r1chm> polah, is there another way? I typed that into command and it returned "unknown" uname on its own states "linux"
[17:53] <Polah> r1chm: Do uname -a then
[17:53] <rww> r1chm: I think Polah meant uname -m for architecture
[17:53] <ramu492> free bsd
[17:53] <rww> r1chm: also, it's i686 for 32-bit, and x86-64 for 64-bit
[17:53] <ramu492> so, there i got conflict for
[17:53] <ramu492> booting
[17:53] <_alazar> I've installed apt-build, which architecture should I chose for a Intel i5 2 core (4 virtual) first gen? http://pastebin.com/WHfFL2iA
[17:54] <r1chm> great thanks.... 64bit ;-)
[17:54] <ramu492> so, it was due to improper kernel compilations
[17:54] <ramu492> now, i need to edit
[17:54] <ramu492> .config file
[17:54] <klown> !enter | ramu492
[17:54] <ramu492> okay
[17:54] <capleton> Hi everyone o/      I'm having some trouble with with an external hard drive.  (usb enclosure with an ide drive inside)  I was able to find the error in dmesg, but I have no idea how to fix.  Here's the error: http://yourpaste.net/8463/
[17:55] <Polah> rww: uname -a shows it as well
[17:55] <rww> Polah: yes, but uname -i doesn't ;)
[17:55] <ramu492> i am doing dual boot of freebsd and Crux, after installing, i could load Operatingsystem. there is come conflict in kernel compilation, so i need to edit .config file ..
[17:56] <Polah> rww: uname -i is hardware platform, gives me i386 when I do it
[17:56] <spartan07> how do I see if the scheduler patch to give the desktop performance boost is enabled on 11.04?
[17:56] <tilleyrw> My user interface on Xubuntu 1280x1024 is boring and tiring on the eyes.  The text is blurry and borders of all graphics are blurred as if anti-aliased.  Help me please.
[17:56] <robin0800> spartan07, it is
[17:56] <juraj> i have freshly installed ubuntu 11 on my nbook. I can't get unity running, I think because of the graphic card. when i run unity_support_test in terminal i get # lines of "Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"."  my nbook is ASUS U30SD (RX001) with graphic card NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 520M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM . help me please :)
[17:57] <ramu492> i am doing dual boot of freebsd and Crux, after installing, i could load Operatingsystem. there is come conflict in kernel compilation, so i need to edit .config file ..where can i find .config file ??
[17:57] <gail> can anyone help me install hp laserjet 1000 on natty??
[17:57] <HydroAssassin> Hello again, in my X log it states "The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/<fontname>" does not exist." theres like 5 of them
[17:57] <raeven> Anybody out there have cpufrequtils working?
[17:57] <spartan07> robin0800: thank you
[17:58] <ramu492> i am doing dual boot of freebsd and Crux, after installing, i could load Operatingsystem. there is come conflict in kernel compilation, so i need to edit .config file ..where can i find .config file ??
[17:58] <r1chm> robin0800,  i went into alsamixer and it was on "HDA Intel" which ive learned is the analog audio. i pressed F6 and switched to "Nvidia" which is the HDMI however when it changed it said there were no controls for it....
[17:58] <Polah> HydroAssassin: Check the folder names have the same capitalisation and any underscores/hyphens/whatever
[17:58] <raeven> Anybody out there have cpufrequtils working?
[17:59] <Polah> r1chm: Have you checked if there's an audio control panel that was installed alongside the drivers?
[17:59] <Polah> !repeat | raeven
[18:00] <robin0800> r1chm, think you might need a driver at least we now know why pulse audio had no controls
[18:00] <raeven> Eh... the repeat was accidental - my cat decided to walk across my keyboard
[18:00] <r1chm> Polah, i cant see that one has been installed.
[18:00] <r1chm> robin0800,  ive just downloaded a driver from Nvidia website ill try install that
[18:00] <klown> the ol' cat on the keyboard excuse..one of my favs.
[18:01] <Polah> klown: Yes, and it just happened to press Ctrl+V and enter in that order, without pressing any other keys along the way
[18:01] <raeven> Are you kidding? This one usually sits in my lap watching my hands as I type and occasionally looks at the screen...
[18:01] <r1chm> brb
[18:01] <klown> Polah, or up arrow and enter :P
[18:02] <Polah> klown: Oh I guess that could work on IRC.
[18:02] <r1chm> i need to install this nvidia after closing down x server. I cant remember how to do it can someone enlighten me please?
[18:02] <raeven> Actually, he hit up arrow, the right shift key (which is dirty and doesn't always work) and enter. And left a backslash in my type window.
[18:02] <klown> Polah, but as you stated, hit no other keys along the way..unless he/she has a premature 1 inch kitten..i dont see it.
  sorry :)
[18:03] <Compn> hello, i installed ubuntu on a hd, then moved the hd to a usb enclosure. any ideas how to fix the booting of it over usb now ?
[18:03] <robin0800> r1chm, are you sure for sound ?
[18:03] <juraj> can anyone help me to find a driver for a graphic card?
[18:04] <Thalius> Compn, So you switched from a sata drive to a USB drive?
[18:04] <Compn> Thalius : pata
[18:04] <Compn> ide...
[18:04] <hiexpo> what graphic card
[18:04] <hiexpo> ^ @ juraj
[18:04] <Compn> Thalius : i got it booted into the livecd, now i'm just trying to find out what program i need. something like windows 'fixboot' or so...
[18:05] <Thalius> Compn: then set your boot order to search for USB devices first in your bios settings.
[18:05] <raeven> ...So, then, back to my original question...
[18:05] <kotique> i'm looking for usb wifi adapter with hostap mode support
[18:05] <raeven> Tried everything on the help forums, and I do mean EVERYTHING...
[18:06] <Compn> Thalius : done, there isnt anything else to config? no hardcoded /dev/hda1 in the bootloader ?
[18:06] <raeven> ...guess I'll just keep rummaging around in the config files...
[18:06] <juraj> hiexpo : i wrote it before a while, noone probably noticed so i'll just copypast the whole issue: i have freshly installed ubuntu 11 on my nbook. I can't get unity running, I think because of the graphic card. when i run unity_support_test in terminal i get # lines of "Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"."  my nbook is ASUS U30SD (RX001) with graphic card NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 520M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM . help me please :)
[18:07] <Thalius> Compn: you might have to reconfigure grub
[18:07] <Compn> Thalius : sure, hwat program do i use ?
[18:07] <robin0800> raeven, there are lots oh system indicators out there is that what your looking for ?
[18:07] <Thalius> Compn: this should do the trick: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[18:07] <nothingspecial> How do I change my email address for launchpad/ubuntuone? I enter the conformation code and it says unrecognised.

I know that in DRBL, I can set an option to lease the same IP to a MAC address every time.  Is there a way I can choose which IPs get assigned to which MAC addresses?
[18:19] <r1chm> and they say load this one.... linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic
[18:19] <robin0800> r1chm, This is for sound?
[18:20] <r1chm> i dont know how to load it... ?

[18:23] <gabrbedd> escott: but nothing really... integrated?
[18:23] <HydroAssassin> Hello again, in my X log it states "The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/<fontname>" does not exist." theres like 5 of them
[18:23] <tilleyrw> Who can help me with configing my UI?  My graphics are blurry while at the native resolution of my LCD, 1280x1024.
[18:23] <robin0800> r1chm, You might need it then
[18:23] <Thalius> sear|work, yes thats possible. Just edit the pool to give out a ip's to certain macs. I can copy paste the config to you if you want
[18:23] <BluesKaj> Yami_Bas, open a terminal , alsamixer -V all , then check your audio again
[18:23] <sear|work> I would like to have dhcpd match the address that the real dhcp server is handing out (it is doing the same thing, handing out an address based on MAC)
[18:23] <sear|work> That would be awesome Thalius!
[18:23] <r1chm> robin0800, i am not sure how to load it though... do you know how?
[18:23] <Yami_Bas> BluesKaj: i restored pulseaudio again...
[18:23] <Yami_Bas> do i need to uninstall that one first?
[18:23] <klown> Yami_Bas, have a glace at this, see if this will help..seems more directed to pulse http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=958330
[18:24] <Thalius> sear|work, sec. ssh'ing to my ssh host. I will pm you as to not to clutter up the channel
[18:24] <escott> gabrbedd, not sure what you want to make it more integrated. dasher is (iirc) the one designed for use with gnome accessibility
[18:24] <robin0800> r1chm, Is it a deb?
[18:24] <sear|work> Thalius: Thanks!
[18:24] <jbwiv> guys, I'm trying to reinstall mysql on a box after running apt-get purge, and I get " kernel: [182147.612379] type=1400 audit(1307726538.039:60): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_replace" name="/usr/sbin/mysqld" pid=1345 comm="apparmor_parser"". Any ideas how to get around this?
[18:24] <r1chm> robin0800,  whats a deb?
[18:24] <gabrbedd> escott: ok, I'll check that out.  Thanks!
[18:24] <joehp> i have a hp pavilion dv2000 with a intel 3945abg wireless card, but my wireless is not working, can somebody please help me to get it working with ubuntu 11
[18:24] <Polah> r1chn: .deb is the software package format for debian and ubuntu
[18:24] <escott> tilleyrw, graphics or just text
[18:24] <robin0800> r1chm, does the file end in .deb
[18:24] <BluesKaj> Yami_Bas, then install pavucontrol
[18:25] <r1chm> oh its not a file.... i am reading a forum...
[18:25] <r1chm> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1617334&page=2
[18:25] <Yami_Bas> BluesKaj:  do i still need to do alsamixer -V all then?
[18:25] <Yami_Bas> installed pavucontrol lets see
[18:25] <BluesKaj> yes that helps turn everything up on the vol ctrls, Yami_Bas
[18:26] <Yami_Bas> alright
[18:26] <Polah> Yami_Bas: Might want to make sure your speakers/headset aren't on full before testing as well.
[18:26] <BluesKaj> pavucontrol works for some but not all
[18:27] <phox_> Unity is bugging! If I move the mouse to the top left corner as usual, it comes forward for like a split second and then it disappears. It does this sometimes. How do I fix it?
[18:27] <Yami_Bas> polah i know but i wont blow them :P
[18:27] <Yami_Bas> got some sturdy stuff here :)
[18:27] <phox_> Or rather, it stays out when the pointer is in the top corner, then wen i move it unity disappears

[18:28] <robin0800> r1chm, sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-als-2.6.32-26-generic
[18:28] <BluesKaj> r1chm, which player are you using for media btw ?
[18:29] <phox_> Another question: does anybody know a good stand-alone calender for Ubuntu which supports the gmail calender?
[18:30] <Yami_Bas> alright
[18:30] <Yami_Bas> im in pavu control
[18:30] <klown> good question phox_ never thought of that, then I could sync my phone to my desktop.
[18:30] <Yami_Bas> but there is no option for digital 5.1
[18:30] <Yami_Bas> just analog 5.1
[18:30] <r1chm> BluesKaj,  i think its called Rythm Box
[18:30] <Yami_Bas> or digital stereo
[18:30] <domnukalu> Hi. I've installed ubuntu server 11.04 and webmin. I am trying to set up a web server. Question: do I need anything else for security of the server? Or default install is secure enough?
[18:30] <r1chm> robin0800,  thanks ill try that now
[18:30] <phox_> klown: You can do it in mail programs like evolution, but I dont like evolution
[18:30] <jrib> !webmin | domnukalu
[18:30] <Yami_Bas> i cant sent 5.1 digital over optical i know but how do i enable spdif?
[18:31] <MadCarburetor> Does the latest version of Shotwell work in Ubuntu 10.04
[18:31] <domnukalu> jrib: any alternatives?
[18:31] <klown> phox_, I dont use evo. either.  Just a gmail notify app.
[18:31] <Mirificus> Hello. Does anyone here know of a program like PhotoRec, but that retains (or restores, whichever word is more appropriate) filenames?
[18:31] <Yami_Bas> can anyone takes this over pm with me?
[18:31] <Yami_Bas> because converations gets mingled up ;c
[18:31] <theadmin> Mirificus: For Linux, there is none
[18:32] <BluesKaj> Yami_Bas, setup your spfif output in alsamixer , and in my experience the best player for passing 5.1 DD and DTS is VLC , you need to set that upi vlc tools>audio
[18:32] <jrib> domnukalu: ubottu used to mention ebox, not sure why he no longer does
[18:32] <theadmin> Mirificus: Mainly because of Linux filesystems
[18:32] <jrib> !ebox
[18:32] <BluesKaj> spdif
[18:32] <Yami_Bas> BluesKaj: i wanne use xbmc XD if possible
[18:32] <MonkeyDust> Mirificus: try testdisk
[18:32] <jrib> ah...
[18:32] <phox_> klown: How does that work? Just opens the browser?
[18:32] <Yami_Bas> but if i cna get it working within vlc that would be a good start
[18:32] <joehp> i have a hp pavilion dv2000 with a intel 3945abg wireless card, but my wireless is not working, can somebody please help me to get it working with ubuntu 11

[18:32] <LekeFly> openssh is setup and installed on 11.04 by default right?
[18:32] <r1chm> robin0800,  that did alot of stuff on the console window...
[18:32] <theadmin> Mirificus: Sad, I know :(
[18:32] <Mirificus> MonkeyDust: I have, it doesn't do quite what I need.
[18:33] <Yami_Bas> BluesKaj: alsa mixer doesnt detect my usb soundcard...
[18:33] <BluesKaj> Yami_Bas, I tried xbmc ,,,too clunky , too much like wmp
[18:33] <robin0800> r1chm, did you put both of them in?
[18:33] <r1chm> yes
[18:33] <tortib> hello does 11.4 of Ubuntu support ATI 6xxxx cards with the fglrx module?
[18:34] <MonkeyDust> LekeFly: ssh client is installed, server not
[18:34] <tommis> tortib, yeah, bretty much
[18:34] <tortib> am i able to use the main repo for Ubuntu to install the ATI drivers (system is installing as we speak just wanted to make sure)
[18:34] <klown> Yami_Bas, if BluesKaj is suggesting that vlc normally has a better chance of working, you should try it, then troubleshoot your media player issues later, after you get sound working..imo of course.
[18:34] <tommis> you can have some problems with 6990 though
[18:34] <BluesKaj> Yami_Bas,  sudo gstreamer-properties' (A GUI will open) (After configuring a reboot may be in order)
[18:34] <tommis> as it don't have linux support
[18:34] <tortib> tommis: well i just didn't know if i had to add another repo for the fglrx module
[18:34] <tortib> tommis: i have 3 6950s
[18:34] <LekeFly> MonkeyDust: When im trying to do "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" i get "has no installation candidate"
[18:35] <rww> LekeFly: Run sudo apt-get update first
[18:35] <MonkeyDust> LekeFly: what ubuntu version?
[18:35] <mrh00d> anyone have bitcoin?

[18:35] <drawmeat> xubuntu question:  I just install xubuntu yesturday and it says i've already ran out of diskspace on my 30gb drive.  I scanned the drive with a disk usage analyzer and iit says that a path called var in my file system is using up 31gb.    Can I fix it?
[18:36] <phox_> Unity is bugging! If I move the mouse to the top left corner as usual, but when i move the pointer straigh down it unity disappears. How do i fix this? Can i restart unity?
[18:36] <Yami_Bas> alright i selected for audio: alsa and i select for device USB #1
[18:36] <LekeFly> rww: oh.. thanks.. MonkeyDust solved it hehe
[18:36] <theadmin> drawmeat: Hm, /var can have a lot of different stuff. Can you drill down and see what exactly is using it?
[18:37] <Yami_Bas> alright :)
[18:37] <Yami_Bas> BluesKaj: does it need to ask for a reboot or just reboot?
[18:37] <drawmeat> theadmin, it says that a subfolder called log is using 98% of my diskspace.  30.7gb.
[18:37] <BluesKaj> Yami_Bas, well if it doesn't work after the command , reboot
[18:38] <theadmin> drawmeat: Wow. You can safely delete /var/log, run this command: sudo rm -rf /var/log/*
[18:38] <Yami_Bas> i was testeping the pipeline (idk why :S) and now the GUI jammed...
[18:38] <cordiceps> hi
[18:38] <theadmin> drawmeat: Reboot after doing that
[18:38] <cordiceps> what's the best to run Ubuntu in a VM? I mean which remote solution to use? I know XDMPC is disabled now :(
[18:38] <drawmeat> theadmin, any idea how this happened and how to keep it from happening in the future?
[18:38] <r1chm> robin0800,  would i need to reboot for changes to take effect?
[18:38] <cordiceps> I want to see the full desktop, not just individual apps
[18:39] <theadmin> drawmeat: Well, this folder contains logs of things... I dunno, it does graw with time
[18:39] <Yami_Bas> i was testeping the pipeline (idk why :S) and now the GUI jammed... BluesKaj
[18:39] <theadmin> drawmeat: If it happens fast again, come back and we'll drill down more
[18:39] <escott> drawmeat, make sure you have logrotate installed
[18:39] <tommis> tortib, i don't think crossfire is supported on linux
[18:39] <drawmeat> theadmin, i just installed this kernal yesturday.  am i gonna have to keep deleting that over and over every day?
[18:39] <eiriksvin> how do I pack files into an iso so I can burn them to a disk?
[18:39] <tommis> or is it?
[18:39] <theadmin> drawmeat: As escott suggested, make sure you have logrotate
[18:39] <drawmeat> theadmin, okay, thanks for the help
[18:40] <phox_> Could somebody learn me how to install a program? I download "sunbird" from mozilla for linux 64 bits but I have no idea how to isntall it, i would like to know how i works =)
[18:40] <theadmin> !info logrotate | drawmeat
[18:40] <robin0800> r1chm, can't hurt
[18:40] <drawmeat> theadmin, total noob here, how do i do that
[18:40] <theadmin> drawmeat: sudo apt-get install logrotate
[18:40] <theadmin> lol
[18:40] <drawmeat> theadmin, thanx, ur the best
[18:40] <escott> eiriksvin, mkisofs
[18:40] <kbrosnan> phox_: for mozilla binaries you can just extract to the home folder and run sunbird
[18:40] <theadmin> phox_: No need. Run this command in a terminal: sudo apt-get install sunbird
[18:40] <escott> eiriksvin, there are also gui tools if you want to use them
[18:41] <r1chm> ok will try it
[18:41] <eiriksvin> yes, is it in the repos?
[18:41] <theadmin> drawmeat: No I'm not, I just don't mind helping, um, noobs :D Almost anyone would be able to help you here I beleive
[18:41] <bigmahatma> is there something like peerguardian for ubuntu?
[18:41] <phox_> kbrosnan: Ok, ill try that. Can you do that with any program you download?
[18:41] <joehp> i have a hp pavilion dv2000 with a intel 3945abg wireless card, but my wireless is not working, can somebody please help me to get it working with ubuntu 11
[18:42] <kbrosnan> phox_: depends on the program
[18:42] <phox_> theadmin: It wasnt supported anymore.
[18:42] <phox_> kbrosnan: what if it isnt?
[18:42] <theadmin> phox_: Okay, I see
[18:42] <kbrosnan> phox_: what?
[18:42] <theadmin> phox_: Most tarballs are source-code, so you have to compile them
[18:42] <Yami_Bas> BluesKaj: i really gtg sorry ;c
[18:43] <Yami_Bas> but ill c where i can get from here
[18:43] <Yami_Bas> atleast ive gotten a few steps further :)
[18:43] <pythonirc1011> I've two ubuntu machines between which I'm copying a file. I would like to pin down which side if the network is a bottleneck in the file transfer. How can I figure this out?
[18:43] <joehp> there is nobody who can help with my wireless not working on a fresh installation of ubuntu ?
[18:43] <BluesKaj> Yami_Bas, well try vlc ..it's pretty but it works
[18:43] <eiriksvin> I'm testing X-CD-Roast now
[18:43] <BluesKaj> not pretty
[18:43] <phox_> kbrosnan: hehe sry. But that didnt work! Just wrtinting "sunbird" in terminal after extracting to my home folder
[18:43] <Yami_Bas> BluesKaj: i have vlc installed already vlc didnt do the trick either ;c
[18:43] <phox_> theadmin: how would i go about doing that?
[18:43] <Yami_Bas> yesterday though
[18:43] <Yami_Bas> havent tried it today
[18:44] <cordiceps> lol, ubuntu not booting with qemu
[18:44] <kbrosnan> phox_: you need to cd to the sunbird folder and then ./sunbird
[18:44] <phox_> kbrosnan: oh, ok
[18:44] <theadmin> phox_: There's a songbird folder there, right? Run ~/sunbird/sunbird
[18:44] <BluesKaj> Yami_Bas, it did for me maybe when you come back we can work on it
[18:44] <Yami_Bas> alright :)
[18:44] <julie> pythonirc1011, network bottlenecks can only be evaluated while looking at a full connection, you can't really split it in two
[18:44] <Yami_Bas> what timezone do you live? Like +1?
[18:44] <phox_> kbrosnan: thanx, that worked. Why is the ./ necesary?
[18:44] <Yami_Bas> or more like +10 or -10 XD
[18:44] <BluesKaj> +5
[18:44] <tortib> tommis: i'm not using crossfire so that's okay...
[18:45] <Yami_Bas> hmm alright
[18:45] <Yami_Bas> guess ill c you around then :)
[18:45] <phox_> theadmin: i got it working by kbrosnans tip
[18:45] <theadmin> phox_: ./ means "run from current folder"
[18:45] <Jordan_U> phox_: From http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/ "We recommend upgrading to Thunderbird 3 and Lightning 1.0 beta2"
[18:45] <BluesKaj> Yami_Bas, -5 sorry
[18:45] <Yami_Bas> not too conflicting timezonse and thanks for all your help :D appreciate it :D
[18:45] <julie> pythonirc1011, would you care to describe your network setup?
[18:45] <pythonirc1011> julie: I just got comcast...and am trying to figure out its speed. My office machine has at least 10Mbps download/upload.
[18:45] <ubuntu__> help my tre bredband usb stick wont work I am in sweden, and need to get my tre stick to work
[18:45] <mellin> Is it possible in the hosts file to specify a computer that is using dhcp and just use like 192.168.1.*    computerfoo? That way it isn't necessary to try and keep up with ip address changes
[18:45] <phox_> Jordan_U: I don't want the whole thunderbird thing.
[18:45] <Yami_Bas> BluesKaj: still np:)
[18:45] <ubuntu__> IdleOne: hej
[18:45] <pythonirc1011> julie: for some reason speed.net and other reports seem to tell that the speeds are very high, but when i transfer a file, it seems it really crawls...
[18:46] <theadmin> mellin: Sorry, no
[18:46] <ubuntu__> IdleOne: help my tre bredband usb stick wont work I am in sweden, and need to get my tre stick to work
[18:46] <r1chm> robin0800, now i have installed those packages i can select the Nvidia HDMI audio from the menu and alsamixer no longer says there are no controls for it... but still no sound :S
[18:46] <Thalius> mellin, Why not use DNS?
[18:46] <julie> pythonirc1011, how are you transferring those files from one machine to another?
[18:46] <LekeFly> How do i end the correct "job" in terminal? :p
[18:46] <genii-around> mellin: Alternately, why don't you set your router to always assign same IP to same MAC
[18:46] <cordiceps> does the liveCD run Ubiquity or gnome3 shell??
[18:46] <cordiceps> the interface looks regular to me.
[18:46] <IdleOne> ubuntu__: what makes you think I know the answer? Please ask the channel your question and be patient. :)
[18:46] <theadmin> cordiceps: Unity
[18:46] <mellin> Thalius: It is just a local home network.
[18:46] <Jordan_U> phox_: Using a program that never appears to have had a stable release *and* has been abandoned is not a good solution.
[18:47] <mellin> genii-around: That will work
[18:47] <theadmin> cordiceps: Ubiquity is the installer lol
[18:47] <cordiceps> yeah that's what I meant Unity
[18:47] <phox_> Jordan_U: true dat. Ill try thunderbird.
[18:47] <Thalius> melling then use genii-around's solution.
