[15:36] <rabbi1> friends, my ubuntu is sick, I am not getting the login screen (May be X din't load). Tried recovery din't work. any suggestion ?
[15:36] <meskarune> rabbi1: you need to tell us specifically what is wrong. when you turn on your computer, and hit ubuntu in grub what happens?
[15:36] <fidel> rabbi1: an you start i.e. lightdm from terminal after boot?
[15:37] <rabbi1> Bubo: u have already removed gimp, remove the supporting files, and then update your apt-get and then select Gimp from the Syn Mgr, and install
[15:37] <theadmin> Anyone, um, I remember we had a program in the repos which allowed to emulate most X events (mouse clicks, keypresses, window resizing, tons of stuff), it was really handy but I totally forgot the name, Google is of no help... Anyone can name it?
[15:37] <Bubo> rabbi1: unmet dependencies: gimp : Depends: libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.31.2) but 2.30.0-0ubuntu4 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[15:37] <rabbi1> Bubo: Sorry, i got more problems :(
[15:38] <Bubo> :(
[15:38] <rabbi1> meskarune: when i get hit boot, i get a command prompt and then a blank screen, that's it
[15:39] <meskarune> rabbi1: is it the grub prompt or your system prompt?
[15:39] <OerHeks> theadmin, xdotool ?
[15:39] <rabbi1> meskarune: in my first boot, I got a login screen and a note saying "gnome was unable to install" something like this. I then restarted after that i just get blank screen .....
[15:39] <theadmin> OerHeks: That's it! Thank you :)
[15:40] <s_enya> h,hello
[15:41] <rabbi1> meskarune: system prompt ...
[15:41] <fidel> rabbi1: i would test if i can jum to a terminal session (i.e. via ctrl+alt+f6) can try to login there. then check if x,loginmanager(lightdm or gdm most likely) are running - are startable etc
[15:41] <kingfisher64> anybody else know anything about getting printers to work in ubuntu? I've tried for days (not in a row thankfully) to get this working and I just can't.
[15:42] <caution> xdotool is cool
[15:42] <s_enya> i have gpu problem. please help
[15:42] <Chipzzz> Bubo: try running "sudo aptitude"... it's pretty good at resolving such problems
[15:42] <rabbi1> fidel: i am able to login from there, and i also tried resetting gnome and xorg, but no luck after that, still i am able to login from ctrl+alt+f6
[15:42] <Bubo> Chipzzz: command not found
[15:43] <fidel> rabbi1: define "no luck" regarding restarting x/loginmanager
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher64: what make / model?
[15:43] <meskarune> rabbi1: if you can log in, do you think you could type "startx" and see if x starts? I'm thinking maybe x is trying to load, and that is the black screen you are seeing
 that is the problem
[15:43] <qw-Russian> hello
[15:43] <qw-Russian> help me i would like install MS Access from Linux but I do not know as it to do
[15:43] <kingfisher64> canaon mp495 - it's a all in one ActionParsnip
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> !wine | qw-Russian
[15:44] <raider1> I'm doing a new install with ubuntu server, built the raid on the raid card, ubuntu detection sees RAID and says  "One or more drives containing serial ATA RAID configurations have been found.  Do you wish to activate these raid devices?"  I select Yes, but no raid is showing up to partition.  Can anyone tell me what I am missing?
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher64: checked the canon europe site, they provide some linux drivers
[15:44] <bazhang> qw-Russian, check the appdb , /join #winehq after installing wine
[15:44] <whoever> hi all, is there a way to determin the image size that clonezilla will make
[15:44] <OerHeks> rabbi1, what was the error exactly ? 'gnome 3d unable to install' ?
[15:44] <rabbi1> meskarune: Fatal Server error: Server is already active for display 0, If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again
[15:45] <bazhang> http://appdb.winehq.org qw-Russian
[15:45] <rabbi1> OerHeks: don't remember, not 3d for sure, some popup on the right hand top corner of the screen
[15:45] <Chipzzz> Bubo: you're missing "aptitude"?!
[15:45] <qw-Russian> thanks
[15:45] <Bubo> Yes, i am installing it now though
[15:45] <s_enya> i can not use Radeon HD 7700 and newest fglrx
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher64: gimme a sec, i'll get a link
[15:45] <theadmin> Chipzzz: aptitude is not preinstalled in most recent Ubuntu versions, they're using apt-get by default
[15:46] <rabbi1> meskarune: and also, MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keygiving up
[15:46] <compdoc> I never use aptitude - whats wrong with apt-get?
[15:46] <meskarune> rabbi1: ok, so x is starting , but its not loading your gnome desktop
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher64: http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/InkJet/PIXMA_MP_series/MP495.aspx?type=download&page=1
[15:46] <Bubo> Chipzzz: i found libglib2.0.0 - should i REMOVE or PURGE?
[15:46] <Chipzzz> Bubo: whew!
[15:46] <llutz> compdoc: nothing, but aptitude has some nice features
[15:46] <theadmin> compdoc: aptitude prints somewhat more senseful errors (say, not just "broken packages", but "package X depends on Y, but Y conflicts with Z. Remove Z?", something like that)
[15:46] <rabbi1> meskarune: xinit: REsource temporarily unavailable (errono 11): unable to connect to xserver
[15:47] <theadmin> compdoc: Other than this, I have no idea :D
[15:47] <rabbi1> xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error
[15:47] <Bubo> Chipzzz: i found libglib2.0.0 - should i REMOVE or PURGE? to fix my error ?
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher64: use the debs, install the ones for your arch, reboot and have the rinter powered and attached. I suggest you delete any printers you have tried to install
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher64: well, the ones for THIS printer
[15:47] <Chipzzz> Bubo: i just caught the tail end of the problem... can you tell me quickly about it?
[15:48] <Bubo> I have a problem with installing Gimp. I added a repository to install the 2.7.4 version but i have 2.6 version installed before, so i removed it thorugh the ubuntu software center and then tried installing gimp 2.7.4 (through the ubuntu software center and then through the terminal) and it doesnt work
[15:48] <Bubo> example pachakge-namex.x.x is installed -> to be installed package-namex.x.x
[15:48] <Bubo> unmet dependencies: gimp : Depends: libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.31.2) but 2.30.0-0ubuntu4 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[15:49] <Chipzzz> Bubo: i would remove it first & if you have problems after that, try purging it
[15:49] <Toph2> ActionParsnip,,, i'm working on the same problem as kingfisher64 ,, i didn't reboot,, perhaps that is my problem
[15:49] <raider1> Anyone able to help with raid setup?
[15:49] <kingfisher64> I've tried every driver I can to get it working. Is printing within Scribus in ubuntu a big problem? I can print from within firefox. The scanner doesn't work at all though. I suspect that it's not installed properly as the print queue says it's printed correctly when it hasn't. I'll do what you've suggested ActionParnsip. I found this page (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-get-a-canon-all-in-one-printer-working-with-ubuntu.html) stat
[15:49] <Bubo> Ok i will remove it and try installing gimp again
[15:49] <quiescens> for the vast majority of packages purge and remove do the same thing anyway
[15:50] <Chipzzz> Bubo: good luck :-)
[15:50] <rabbi1> meskarune: This is all i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/843174/ so what to do ?
[15:50] <Bubo> i will need it Chipzzz :D
[15:50] <Chipzzz> Bubo: have faith ;-)
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> Toph2: worth a try
[15:51] <Toph2> yes
[15:52] <s_enya> Does Radeon HD 7700 series not support  Linux?
[15:52] <Bubo> Chipzzz: aptitude said 8 broken packages and i pressed resolve and it said 127 needed to be removed..
[15:52] <rabbi1> meskarune: got to reset gnome ? which i have already done it....
[15:52] <caotic> hi i am about to trash an ubuntu vm, how can i take the list of packages I installed, in a manner i can feed it back to apt-get in the replacement machine ?
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> s_enya: with proprietary driver, should be ok
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> !clone | caotic
[15:53] <Chipzzz> Bubo: i wouldn't do that...
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> caotic: you may need to instal aptitude
[15:53] <Bubo> i already did it :|
[15:53] <caotic> ActionParsnip: thank you so much,
[15:53] <Bubo> 1117 packages broken. Yes, i broke it again. f*ck
[15:54] <kingfisher64> ActionParsnip - on http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/InkJet/PIXMA_MP_series/MP495.aspx?type=download&page=1 is it right that i need number 46? It says source file - does that mean i have to compile it or anything?
[15:55] <Chipzzz> Bubo: that might not have been such a good idea :-(
[15:55] <Bubo> Is there a way to undo the last changes?
[15:55] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: This is all i get when i hit startx http://paste.ubuntu.com/843174/ could you please help me out.
[15:55] <Bubo> if i restart -> ubuntu wont start
[15:55] <LostPW> hello
[15:55] <s_enya> ActionParsnip: really? I use "http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/RC11Driver.aspx"
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher64: read the bottom 2, not the top 2
[15:56] <raider1> Hi Guys,  If I have a new install on a machine with hardware RAID, and its not showing the RAID when at the partition screen, does it mean the raid is not supported in the kernel?
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> s_enya: i dont buy ATi, but there is a proprietary driver available which should make it work
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: then X is already running..
[15:57] <Chipzzz> Bubo: <alt><ctl>F1, log in, sudo tasksel install ubuntu-desktop
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> raider1: you may need an extra module if the hardware isn't detected by default
[15:57] <Bubo> but it removed skype and every installed app
[15:57] <Bubo> i saw removing skype :|
[15:57] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: ok, but i just get a blank screen, suggestion was "gnome" problem, I am not getting my login screen, so now how to set my gnome back ?
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: what GPU do you use?
[15:58] <Computer-01> Hi, anyone knows a repository for MYSQL WORKBENCH for ubuntu 10.04 LTS?
[15:58] <Chipzzz> Bubo: it shouldn't have purged the config, so when you install skype again, your settings will be there
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | Computer-01
[15:58] <mbeierl> Does anyone know how to make an SSH port tunnel (say for port forwarding) time out on connection loss more quickly?  Sometimes it takes close to an hour before my ssh tunnel goes away...
[15:58] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: I am on 10.04, AMD Athlon 64 with in built NVdia Graphics card
[15:59] <Bubo> ok ill try that
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[15:59] <kingfisher64> sorry - i don't know what you mean? The two drivers on the canon website for linux are: http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/InkJet/PIXMA_MP_series/MP495.aspx?DLtcmuri=tcm:14-822888&page=5&type=download, http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/InkJet/PIXMA_MP_series/MP495.aspx?DLtcmuri=tcm:14-822884&page=5&type=download - do i need both? Many thanks :)
[15:59] <raider1> ActionParsnip: I figured, how do I find out what module?
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher64: there is a scanner driver and a printer driver, they will be archives and have subarchives, conaining deb and rpms, you wamt the debs
[16:00] <Bubo> Chipzzz:
[16:00] <Bubo> tasksel command not found
[16:00] <Bubo> o.o ?
[16:00] <Computer-01> ActionParsnip: Thank you
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> raider1: run:  lspci   use the output to see how you can make it work (you need the driver for the controller chip)
[16:00] <Chipzzz> Bubo: sudo apt-get install tasksel
[16:00] <Computer-01> !addppa
[16:01] <Computer-01> !removeppa
[16:01] <raider1> ActionParsnip: its the RAID bus controller: Marvell MV88SX6041 4-port SATA II PCI-X Controller
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> raider1: ok then you have what you need, find guides and how tos for that a  Marvell MV88SX6041
[16:01] <imgrey> good evening #ubuntu
[16:01] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: ok, i got to edit the grub file and add that to it ?
[16:01] <raider1> ActionParsnip: k, thx
[16:01] <imgrey> could somebody please show me sources.list from natty ?
[16:02] <imgrey> I need gnome-shell and I cant find it
[16:02] <imgrey> because I upgraded from lucid
[16:02] <Bubo> ok done
[16:02] <Bubo> but it removed many more.. 127 packages :|
[16:03] <User_007> Hello guys, i am using Natty AMD64 and a custom 3.2.6 kernel. I downloaded ufw but it seems it's rules don't work (but the default deny, accept and reject works fine)
[16:03] <Chipzzz> Bubo: lol... it'll put them back, don't worry
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: or you can hold shift at boot and press E to edit the line and add it there
[16:03] <Bubo> so
[16:03] <Bubo> i need to restart now?
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> User_007: custom kernels are not supported here
[16:03] <User_007> does iptables changed a lot after 2.6.38 version?
[16:04] <Chipzzz> Bubo: did you tasksel install ubuntu-desktop?
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> User_007: its a different driver for the ethernet too
[16:04] <Bubo> yes
[16:05] <Bubo> it finished
[16:05] <Chipzzz> Bubo: keep your fingers crossed :-)
[16:05] <Bubo> :|
[16:05] <mman> does any body know a CRM software?
[16:05] <trever420> i'm actually in the process of trying to figure out an alternative to IPTables (something more friendly) for ubuntu
[16:05] <Bubo> im backing up the home folder first
[16:05] <User_007> ActionParsnip, i am using wireless
[16:05] <sipior> User_007: it's possible you left out some of the iptables functionality in your build. review your kernel config!

[16:06] <User_007> humm
[16:06] <User_007> thanks anyway
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: I'd delete: quiet splash    and put it in it's place
[16:07] <Yabden> firestarter was a pretty good iptables frontend last time i used it
[16:07] <Yabden> which was a few years ago
[16:07] <kingfisher64> ActionParsnip - ok I know what you mean now. I've already got these downloads and installed the .debs - Still didn't work last time i tried it though, but i'll try again. I just want to clarify. I'll uninstall any existing printer drivers using synaptic package manager. Turn printer on and install the debs files while printer is on - then restart>
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher64: thats all I know of Canon. I always buy HP as they work out of the box with HPLIP which is in a default install
[16:08] <kingfisher64> ActionParsnip - many thanks i'll try.
[16:09] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: ok, done, but nothing happened, it just ran through some test screen and back to blank screen
[16:10] <melvincv> I have BSNL broadband, I plan to shift to Airtel. What is the bill cap value in http://www.airtel.in/new/ ?
[16:10] <melvincv> I mean, I didn't understand what bill cap value means in their 6GB UNO plan.
[16:10] <raider1> ActionParsnip: I found marvell doesn't make a driver for this for ubuntu.. is there a list of ubuntu drivers that come with 10.04 LTS?
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> raider1: could try liveCD to test
[16:11] <caution> how do I run a command in the terminal so that it opens a new terminal tab?
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> raider1: is there an open source driver made by the community?
[16:11] <h00k> melvincv: that's probably something to ask your provider, it doesn't have anything to do with Ubuntu
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> caution: seems to say the option here: http://www.cs.potsdam.edu/cgi-bin/man/man2html?gnome-terminal.wrapper+1
[16:12] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: any suggestions ?
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: did you install the proprietary driver?
[16:13] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: how could i install ? i booted from that line and then again blank screen.
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: can you boot to command line with an internet connection?
[16:13] <raider1> ActionParsnip: i did lsmod and it shows "sata_mv 29924 0" does that mean the module is loaded or not?
[16:14] <raider1> ActionParsnip: usedby is 0
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> raider1: I have that too and use onboard sata

[16:14] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: do you use a wired connection?
[16:15] <caaakeeey> hey, 11.10 or 11.04 for amazon AMI (or other?)
[16:15] <bazhang> melvincv, thats offtopic here, ask your provider
[16:15] <h00k> !ot | melvincv

[16:16] <kimo> am having problems with repositories anybody can help pls

[16:20] <kimo> having problems with repositories, help pls
[16:20] <MonkeyDust> !info shorewall
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> kimo: what is your issue?
[16:20] <macmartine> Any Monit users know what might cause this?  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9297043/monit-appears-to-be-working-on-command-line-but-get-404-there-is-no-service-by
[16:20] <Chipzzz> kimo: please be more specific
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> kimo: what part of: '16:16 < MonkeyDu1t> kimo  ask away' was unclear?
[16:21] <kimo>  ActionParsnip: cant download anything from the net due to repositories
[16:21] <trever420> thanks i know what shorewall is.. i asked if anyone used it...  i'd like to get some opinions on how it compares to IPTables
[16:21] <Yabden> shorewall is a frontend for iptables
[16:21] <MonkeyDust> kimo  do you get any errors? also check you do not have 2 downloaders 'open' simultaneously, they block each other
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> kimo: can you run:  sudo apt-get update    and pastebin the output, use: http://pastie.org
[16:22] <MonkeyDust> trever420  this is not the right place for opnions
[16:23] <ubukou> whatever happened to the thunar samba plugin?
[16:23] <kimo> The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.
[16:23] <kimo> no i dont have 2 download running at the same time
[16:24] <c31r2g> hi
[16:24] <MonkeyDust> kimo  start by typing sudo apt-get update, first
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> kimo: can you run the command I gave and use the link I gave to provide the output
[16:24] <imgrey> # apt-cache search gnome-shell
[16:24] <imgrey> libmutter0 - window manager library from the Mutter window manager
[16:25] <imgrey> WTF UBUNTU ?
[16:25] <FloodBot1> imgrey: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:25] <imgrey> where is gnome shell ?
[16:25] <imgrey> FloodBot1, you suck
[16:25] <bazhang> imgrey, watch the language
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> imgrey: users can use apt-cache, no need to become root
[16:25] <kimo> Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> imgrey: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[16:25] <MonkeyDust> imgrey  it's easier to just ask, if you want to get kicked from the channel
[16:26] <imgrey> ActionParsnip, # lsb_release -sc
[16:26] <imgrey> natty
[16:26] <thetinyjesus> Hey I cannot stand both the current state of gnome 3 and unity, should I try out Debian or do things just not work as well in debian
[16:26] <kimo> ActionParsnip:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[16:26] <imgrey> back to the topic, could somebody please share sources.list ?
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> !info gnome-shell natty
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> imgrey: there is your answer
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> imgrey: gnome-shell is a gnome3 app, natty still uses Gnome2
[16:27] <Bubo> E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
[16:27] <MonkeyDust> imgrey  maybe there's a PPA for gnome-shell in natty
[16:27] <Chipzzz> thetinyjesus: there's kubuntu if you don't like gnome/ubity
[16:27] <imgrey> ActionParsnip, but how do I install Gnome3 ?
[16:27] <ubukou> anyone using thunar?
[16:27] <imgrey> MonkeyDust, wtf PPA ?
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> imgrey: you'll need to upgrade to Oneiric
[16:27] <theadmin> !ppa | imgrey
[16:27] <auronandace> imgrey: use 1.10
[16:27] <bgs1> trying to boot an a laptop from an ubuntu cd and hitting a particular error each time.  The CD works on other computers and the computer boots the HD just fine. Error: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1). My boss gave me the laptop and told me to make it work, so I don't know much about it. any ideas where to start?
[16:27] <auronandace> 11.10
[16:27] <bazhang> imgrey, stop with the language
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: there is but it breaks stuff
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> !gnome3 | imgrey
[16:28] <MonkeyDust> imgrey  easiest is to upgrade natty to oneiric
[16:28] <thetinyjesus> Chipzzz: It's not that I hate them, i don't like that i cannot view current live windows without alt-tab, and everything has a lag to it even using an I5 processor
[16:28] <theadmin> auronandace: Heh, 1.10 -- I'd like to point out that the first ubuntu version is 4.10 :D
[16:29] <auronandace> theadmin: i corrected myself above :)
[16:29] <thetinyjesus> Chipzzz: my windows 7 boots 2 times faster and runs faster and that's never normal when compairing to linux
[16:29] <Bubo> I get error when i do sudo apt-get update -> GPG error ppa link The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> thetinyjesus: depends on config
[16:29] <theadmin> auronandace: Just a funny fact :D Kinda freaky, you know, if you don't know the Ubuntu versioning system you'd think the first would be 1.0 or at least 1.04 :D
[16:29] <MonkeyDust> thetinyjesus  my linux boots 10 times faster than win7
[16:30] <thetinyjesus> MonkeyDust: do you have an i5?
[16:30] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: I am dead .... :(
[16:30] <Chipzzz> thetinyjesus: i'm running oneiric with gnome/unity and cairo-dock. I have no such problems :-)
[16:30] <c31r2g> linux will always boot faster than any windows system and thats the truth(universal)
[16:30] <Bubo> E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. - Any help with that? I cant fix broken packages...
[16:31] <imgrey> MonkeyDust, thank you
[16:31] <Guest65299> Man I miss gnome 2
[16:31] <bazhang> lets get back on topic please
[16:31] <rabbi1> I have a live CD which is not auto boot, i got usb wireless net, unable to connect from command prompt, I have nVidia graphics card which is not working. Funny situation .... :)
[16:31] <theadmin> Guest65299: Install gnome-fallback or xfce4, they both act very similar to gnome2
[16:31] <c31r2g> bazhang
[16:31] <Guest65299> nice theadmin
[16:31] <thetinyjesus> Chipzzz: its not that i have problems, its just if i log in using gnome classic things just run so much faster
[16:31] <Chipzzz> Bubo: glad to see you made it back... that's encouraging :-)
[16:32] <bazhang> c31r2g, you know this is not the chat channel  #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[16:32] <Guest65299> theadming: I am in Lubuntu now, but it just isn't right
[16:32] <Bubo> Yes Chipzzz, it had removed skype and acrobat reader, I just installed them back. But still i cant install gimp, same error and also when i go to fix broken packages in synaptics package manager it says E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
[16:32] <Guest65299> theadmin: I am in Lubuntu now, but it just isn't right
[16:32] <c31r2g> bazhang greetings! lol..........sorry switching
[16:32] <thetinyjesus> actually fuck it, at this point after 3 weeks with linux trying linux mint 12/ubuntu 11.10 its safe to say my i5 will not play wel

[16:33] <MonkeyDust> Bubo  in grub, boot in recovery mode, then choose FSCK and repair broken packages
[16:33] <theadmin> Guest65299: Try Xubuntu, you'll love it -- it's almost exactly like (and compatible with) gnome2 in a lot of aspects, but MUCH more configurable
[16:33] <auronandace> kimo: jaunty is end of life
[16:33] <Bubo> How do I boot in recovery mode MonkeyDust ?
[16:33] <h00k> !patebim | kimo
[16:33] <c31r2g> kimo you use jaunty maybe no support
[16:33] <Bubo> nvm ill just google that
[16:33] <h00k> !pastebim | kimo
[16:33] <Chipzzz> Bubo: maybe the newer gimp needs a libglib that isn't yet available for the version of ubuntu you're running
[16:33] <auronandace> kimo: jaunty is end of life
[16:33] <h00k> !pastebin | kimo
[16:33] <h00k> seriously, keyboard.
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> kimico: use the pastebin, i told you twice...
[16:33] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: this post would solve my problem ? http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/176
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> kimico: Jaunty is EOL (as c31r2g said)
[16:34] <Bubo> Chipzzz: i had that  version of gimp installed on the wubi installation i had.. i formated and installed same versiion 11.10 of ubuntu and now this problem comes up because i had installed gimp 2.6.x first the nremoved it and now i want to install 2.7.5
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> kimo: Jaunty is EOL as c31r2g
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> kimico: sorry, wrong target
[16:34] <c31r2g> EOL?
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> !eol

[16:34] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Ah, it's a nickname, never mind
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> kimo: its like trying to get windows updates for windows 95
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> kimo: its not supported any more, no more updates
[16:35] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: lol
[16:35] <JoeyJoeJo> How can I tell what version of ubuntu is installed?
[16:35] <Bubo> MonkeyDust: how to boot into recovery mode?
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: there is madness in my method
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> JoeyJoeJo: lsb_release -sc
[16:35] <JoeyJoeJo> thanks
[16:35] <MonkeyDust> Bubo  you'll see, in the grub menu
[16:35] <Bubo> I dont have a grub menu
[16:35] <Bubo> it just enters in ubuntu automatically
[16:36] <MonkeyDust> Bubo  try pressing enter while you boot
[16:36] <MonkeyDust> or was it esc?
[16:36] <Bubo> ill press both
[16:36] <c31r2g> Bubo everyone has need to press some key!
[16:36] <Bubo> let me try.. brb :D
[16:36] <Chipzzz> Bubo: hold down the shift key after POST
[16:36] <Bubo> esc shift and enter keys.. :|
[16:36] <Bubo> ill try
[16:36] <Chipzzz> bubo: no, shift key
[16:38] <ginnal> upgrade from ubuntu 10.04to 11.01 bookmarks missing? why
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> kimo: I suggest you run a final backup, wipe Jaunty out and install a clean version of Oneiric (11.10), or wait until April then install a clean install of Precise (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)
[16:38] <crizzy_> ginnal: you can only update one release at the time (from 10.04 to 10.10 for example) OR from LTS to LTS (10.04 to upcoming 12.04)
[16:39] <Bubo_> It booted normally :| how do you check if its recovery mode? Also, what should i do in recovery mode? Chose FSCK and ?
[16:39] <Kre10s> Trying to install a gedit regular expression plugin. http://halfhourhacks.blogspot.com/2008/03/gedit-regular-expression-plugin.html plugin does not show in list... what have i done wrong?
[16:39] <MonkeyDust> Bubo  fsck and then repair broken packages
[16:40] <kimo> ActionParsnip:i was trying to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.10. upgrade wasnt complete i had to restard computer and culdnt access ubuntu anymore. i formated the comp and installed ubuntu 9.04
[16:40] <ginnal> upgrade to 11.01 bookmarks missing? why
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> kimo: what GPU do you use?
[16:40] <whoever> hi all, is there a way to determin the image size that clonezilla will make
[16:40] <Lint> !9.04
[16:40] <auronandace> kimo: you can't go directly from 10.10 to 11.10
[16:41] <Lint> is there OCR software for ubuntu?
[16:41] <Chipzzz> Bubo_: it isn't in recovery mode if you didn't get a grub menu
[16:41] <kimo> ActionParsnip:sorry my fault, its the next upgrade after 10.10
[16:42] <auronandace> kimo: the releases are every six months, so you'd have to go from 10.10 to 11.04 to 11.10 (would be better to just fresh install 11.10)
[16:43] <Chipzzz> Bubo_: the other question is a little harder... i don't know what being in recovery mode is going to help in your situation
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> kimo: what GPU do you use? What happened when you tried a clean 11.10 install
[16:43] <kimo> ActionParsnip:I have tried to install 10.10 straight away it didnt work
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> kimo: what happened?
[16:44] <MonkeyDust> !ocr | Lint
[16:44] <kimo> ActionParsnip: the system is restarting tried it several times
[16:45] <nibbler__> i used thunderbird from some mozilla ppa, how do i revert to ubuntu-thunderbird?
[16:45] <Lint> MonkeyDust, it was last updated 1 year ago
[16:45] <MonkeyDust> nibbler__  delete the ppa
[16:45] <MonkeyDust> Lint  that happens
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> nibbler__: remove the PPA, uninstall thunderbird then reinstall it
[16:45] <kingfisher64> ActionParsnip - well i've just finished installing the printer and it works. Not tried the scanner yet. I think there is a problem with the print queue's or something as it worked exactly as before on re-install but I hit a button on the top and it worked, printing something previous out. many thanks for your advice though :) ActionParsnip++
[16:46] <nibbler__> MonkeyDust, ah okay - thanks
[16:46] <auronandace> !ppa-purge | nibbler__
[16:46] <nibbler__> MonkeyDust, before i tried to do that, and it wanted to remove like 200 dependencies - now i used apt-get instead of aptitude... and ran an update in between - don't know what solved my problem :)
[16:46] <kingfisher64> Toph2 - did you get your printer working?
[16:47] <Bubo> Hi again.. I booted into recovery mode, but when I get the menu there i cant choose anything, it seems my keyboard isnt responding.. i tried pressing every key on it, nothing.
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> nibbler__  if it works, it works :)
[16:47] <Bubo> But the backlight on the buttons is working
[16:47] <nibbler__> MonkeyDust, exactly ;-)
[16:48] <Chipzzz> Bubo: do you get a working <alt><ctl>F1 terminal?
[16:48] <ginnal> any lottery help channels?
[16:48] <Bubo> if i press alt ctrl f1 now, yes the terminal is working
[16:49] <bazhang> !alis | ginnal
[16:49] <bgs1> I'm trying to get a boot cd to run on a laptop and not having any success.  The CD works in other computers.  Boot sequence is correct. error is 'Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown-block(8,1)'
[16:49] <Chipzzz> Bubo: that's pretty strange... is it a USB keyboard or anything?
[16:49] <c31r2g> Bubo will not get back now lol
[16:49] <Bubo> yes its a usb keyboard
[16:49] <c31r2g> !
[16:50] <c31r2g> Bubo how you got back from terminal mode
[16:50] <c31r2g> please Bubo
[16:50] <Bubo> alt ctrl f7?
[16:50] <Bubo> or f6..
[16:51] <c31r2g> thanks Bubo
[16:51] <c31r2g> f7 Bubo
[16:51] <Chipzzz> Bubo: it's beginning to look like you're stuck with the older gimp until a newer libglib2 turns up in your repos
[16:52] <Bubo> Oh, cant i just delete libglib2 and try to install the new one ?
[16:52] <Bubo> when i try remove libglib2 i get some other error, should i paste it in paste.ubuntu ?
[16:52] <bgs1> I'm sorry, I'm not sure of the policy for re-requesting help.  I guess I can assume no one knows where to start if no one responds?
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> bgs1: test your RAM
[16:53] <lanoxx> im trying to install skype on oneiric, but it does not work
[16:53] <Bubo> Also, it worked before I formatted Chipzzz. I had gimp 2.7.x version, but i hadnt installed 2.6.x version before it.. maybe thats the problem
[16:53] <Chipzzz> Bubo: i'm thinking that since you're installing a gimp that isn't available in the ubuntu repos yet, the required libglib may not be available yet either
[16:53] <lanoxx> after several tries now i dont even see skype in the repository eventhough i have the partner repo activated
[16:53] <lanoxx> how can i debug this
[16:53] <bgs1> ActionParsnip, the hdd OS loads just fine; would that preclude a RAM problem?
[16:53] <Viman> Is there a way to convert OGV to AVI without making it look like crap?
[16:54] <Bubo> But it was available for me before formatting
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher64: try both xsane and simplescan. I've seen simplescan not work where xsane did
[16:54] <Bubo> i installed the gimp then the same way i tried installing it now
[16:54] <MonkeyDust> lanoxx  http://blog.sudobits.com/2011/09/15/how-to-install-skype-on-ubuntu-11-10/
[16:55] <kimo> ActionParsnip:any suggestions
[16:55] <Chipzzz> Bubo: what version libglib is it asking for, what version do you have, and what version ubuntu do you have?
[16:55] <Lint> can linux users have no password?
[16:56] <Bubo> 11.10 ubuntu
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> bgs1: what GPU do you use?
[16:56] <Bubo> Depends: libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.31.2) but 2.30.0-0ubuntu4 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[16:56] <MonkeyDust> Lint  the password is what makes linux more secure than windows
[16:56] <Lint> MonkeyDust, don't be ridiculous please
[16:57] <xubuntu5> he wasn't
[16:57] <MonkeyDust> Lint  don't be rude, please
[16:57] <bazhang> Lint, lose the attitude
[16:57] <Chipzzz> Bubo: ...working...
[16:57] <lanoxx> MonkeyDust, software center says: 'There isn't a software package called "skype:i386" in your software sources.'
[16:57] <lanoxx> but i have partner activated and ran aptitude update a couple of times
[16:58] <Bubo> Chipzzz: what do you mean working ?
[16:58] <MonkeyDust> lanoxx  maybe you should try sudo apt-get update, first
[16:58] <bazhang> lanoxx, does apt-cache search skype show anything
[16:58] <kblin> hi folks
[16:58] <Lint> I'm simply too old for puerile stuff like passwords. Still, is it possible?
[16:58] <bgs1> ActionParsnip, I was kind of afraid the questions would get down to that level. The truth is the HDD os is a debian install and I don't even have an account on it, so short of opening up the laptop I don't know what the GPU is. I can do that if need be.
[16:58] <xubuntu5> that skype search only shows
[16:58] <xubuntu5> pidgin-skype - Skype plugin for libpurple messengers
[16:58] <kblin> how do I force a device that uses IPv6 autoconfiguration to look for a new route?
[16:59] <lanoxx> bazhang, MonkeyDust only pidgin plugins
[16:59] <llutz> Lint: it is but it will break sudo for that user
[16:59] <waaaagh> hello
[16:59] <Lint> llutz, and sudo -u root ?
[17:00] <Thurin1> Lint, yes you can have no password.
[17:00] <llutz> Lint: sudo requires a password, a user without cannot use sudo
[17:00] <xubuntu5> when i use xming why is the display variable set to 10?
[17:00] <theadmin> llutz: You can always use NOPASSWD in sudoers so
[17:00] <lanoxx> bazhang, is there maybe some cache file that i could delete?
[17:00] <Thurin1> But then you can't login.
[17:00] <Lint> llutz, and if root user has password, will sudo work for root?
[17:00] <llutz> theadmin: you also can shot yourself in the knee
[17:01] <theadmin> llutz: I know :D
[17:01] <MonkeyDust> Lint  i guess that was an elaborate way to say: "no"
[17:01] <theadmin> Lint: sudo always works for root, root is granted full sudo privelegs by default, but then again, point?
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> bgs1: is it a branded system?
[17:01] <Lint> no login password nonsense
[17:01] <Thurin1> Lint: ....

[17:02] <Thurin1> Lint: If you really want to do it...
[17:02] <Thurin1> adduser whatever
[17:02] <theadmin> Lint: It's not nonsense... Um, just set an autologin?
[17:02] <Thurin1> passwd -f -u whatever
[17:02] <xubuntu5> f u? lol
[17:02] <Thurin1> Yep.
[17:02] <Bubo> oH, ok Chipzzz, thanks
[17:02] <Thurin1> (lol)
[17:02] <xubuntu5> heh
[17:02] <Bubo> ill be waiting
[17:03] <Thurin1> But I don't think you can actually set root to have no passwd
[17:03] <Thurin1> ... but you could always try, with -f -u
[17:03] <Thurin1> passwd -f -u root
[17:03] <MonkeyDust> Lint  but expect the system to say f u ;)
[17:03] <Thurin1> Never tried, not going to, might not work.. could break things.
[17:03] <caution> how do I remove an alias in bash set with the alias command?
[17:03] <bgs1> ActionParsnip, yes. Toshiba Portege M400.
[17:03] <llutz> caution: unalias alias
[17:04] <caution> thanks
[17:05] <theadmin> Lint: To disable a password on USERNAME, use: sudo passwd -d USERNAME # But still, it's a bad idea. Consider searching for an autologin option in your login manager

[17:06] <Bubo> How do I install that manually Chipzzz ?

[17:07] <bgs1> ActionParsnip, can you please give me a little more detail into how to set a boot option?  I'm sorry, I'm fairly new to this.  Is it something I change on the boot cd? something I change in the bios?
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> bgs1: the link shows how

[17:17] <Lint> Thurin1, it's not what?
[17:17] <Thurin1> Lint, it depends on how you tweaked your desktop and if you're using KDE/GNOME.
[17:17] <Thurin1> It's not impossible.
[17:17] <Thurin1> Err
[17:17] <danileigh79> Viman: should be to change fps rate in the main conversion window

[17:19] <Bobby> Hi Everyone
[17:19] <Thurin1> You just add 'network' to your side panel.
[17:20] <Lint> Thurin1, add it from where?
[17:20] <Thurin1> In Gnome (not sure if Unity changed this) - you add network to side panel, and boom. Open files from network on browse.
[17:20] <danileigh79> When i type in "sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-<IP_ADDRESS>.o" to reactivate my wifi, it says "Cannot open input file wl_apsta-<IP_ADDRESS>.o" How can I fix this so I can make my wifi settings permanent?
[17:20] <Thurin1> When you click the open dialog, you see the panel to the left with destinations? Add network as a destination as well.
[17:21] <Viman> Thurin1: changing fps didn't exactly do it. The screen still looks scrambled (I did a screencast)
[17:21] <caution> how do I set a system wide environmental var?
[17:21] <Viman> from gtk-RecordMyDesktop
[17:22] <Thurin1> Viman: Yeah, not fps.. overall quality.
[17:22] <Lint> Thurin1, there's only Search, Recent, Home, Desktop, Filesystem, Floppy, CDROM, and folders from my profile, no network in sight
[17:22] <Thurin1> Just read the ffmepg manual, it tells you how to set parameters.
[17:22] <clone1018> Anyone in here have any experience with KDE and ATI, basically, I have my tri monitor setup perfect, except for one thing, the main monitor is set as my far left, when it needs to be my middle, anyone know how to change which is the primary with the aticonfig command or the control panel for it?
[17:22] <Thurin1> Lint: It's not there by default, but you can add it yourself.
[17:23] <Lint> it is there in file manager, but not in open dialog :(
[17:23] <Viman> Thurin1: quality as in Bitrate?
[17:23] <Lint> how to add it manually?

[17:25] <User_007> hello, i am running Natty AMD64, 2.6.38-13 kernel. I set my ufw to deny everything, but i allow in and out of ports 80 and 443. But the rules seems to not work, and all the ports seem to be blocked. (it don't work and nmap say it's all closed)
[17:26] <Thurin1> For now Right click an open space in the "Open File" section and select "Show hidden files". Then go to .gvfs and your remote share will be mounted there.
[17:26] <Thurin1> Keep in mind that the 'open' dialog is application specific, so for some you'll never be able to open across network.
[17:26] <User_007> what is my error?

[17:32] <User_007> It seems ufw just deny everithing and ignore any rules i add. I thought it was a kernel problem, but it seems to happen the same thing with generic ubuntu kernel.

[17:32] <bgs1> ActionParsnip, I tried the nomodeset boot option and still got the error.
[17:32] <Thurin1> User_007: Did you remember to update your firewall after adding the rules?
[17:32] <Thurin1> :)
[17:32] <Chipzzz> Bubo: if you were trying to install a newer one, i don't think it would complain
[17:32] <rabbi1> Thurin1: what should i look for in log folder ?
[17:33] <User_007> sorry, how to update? it's just disable and enable the ufw?
[17:33] <rabbi1> Thurin1: I can't see errro file at all
[17:33] <Thurin1> rabbi1: Look through the xorg.0.log's  (all numbers) look for (EE)
[17:33] <Bubo> well i pressed on the .debian file and it opened the ubuntu software center -> pressed install -> it said that below the description and i have install button available again
[17:33] <Thurin1> Pastebin your xorg.0.log
[17:34] <Thurin1> Bubo:
[17:34] <Thurin1> Write down the package name.
[17:34] <Thurin1> Remove the package.
[17:34] <Chipzzz> Bubo: I have an idea... maybe someone here: #gimp has had a similar problem... try "/join gimp"
[17:34] <Thurin1> Install - apt should get the right version
[17:34] <PastorBones> I had to disable nouveau in yaboot in order to get my ubuntu ppc to boot, but now my nvidia display shows psychodelic colors...how do I get nouveau working correctly? I'm lost....plz help :P
[17:35] <Thurin1> Bubo: REMEMBER to "apt-get update" BEFORE you install.
[17:35] <Thurin1> PastorBones: Nouveau is buggy as hell in PPC.
[17:35] <Bubo> Thurin1: thats not the problem :\
[17:35] <rabbi1> Thurin1: I am really sorry, i don think i would be able to pastebin it. coz i can't connect that system to net. anything specific i have to look out for ?
[17:35] <Thurin1> PastorBones: You may never get it functional, google for your exact machine see if others have same problem.
[17:36] <Thurin1> Yes, Errors rabbi1 if no errors.
[17:36] <Thurin1> Remove the Nvidia driver and go back to what worked.
[17:36] <Thurin1> It could be too new for the xorg you're using.
[17:36] <PasNox> Hi all
[17:36] <PastorBones> Thurin1, new install, nothings worked so far

[17:36] <MonkeyDust> what's nouveau?
[17:37] <Thurin1> PastorBones: Yeah... :( well good luck, I mean Nouveau still has issues on x86, ... I can only imagine the issues on PPC.
[17:37] <PastorBones> nouveau is a display driver
[17:37] <omry> all the sudden, my gnome got completely crazy. windows on the second screen attached to the laptop wont maximize properly, and in most cases they wont respond to the mouse properly either

[17:37] <MonkeyDust> ok
[17:37] <omry> anyone saw this? reboot didnt help
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: its not bad :)
[17:37] <MonkeyDust> i have intel video :)

[17:37] <Bubo> Thurin1: yes i do have that problem, but i tried apt-get update manymany times and i cant resolve it
[17:38] <edgy> Hi, what's the command to list files in an uninstalled package?
[17:38] <Thurin1> Bubo: I know...
[17:38] <Thurin1> But it's going to check your current version against .. current version.
[17:38] <User-007> how do i update the firewall after adding the rules?
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> edgy: i'd check packages.ubuntu.com
[17:38] <Thurin1> Remove (write down package name) - apt-get update - install.
[17:38] <Thurin1> See if the same error is reproduced.
[17:38] <Bubo> i cant remove it
[17:38] <edgy> ActionParsnip: in synaptic I remember I can also see the files, so there is surely a command to do it
[17:38] <Thurin1> If so, download the most current and create a ln -s to it.
[17:39] <MonkeyDust> edgy  try apt-cache show
[17:39] <Thurin1> Bubo: Of course you can
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> edgy: maybe an option in dpkg
[17:39] <Thurin1> Just go into the libs, delete it with rm ...
[17:39] <manisabri> any idea why there are no catalyst control center after installing amd drivers?
[17:39] <Bubo> Thurin1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/843310/

[17:40] <Lint> is it possible to list dlls loaded in a certain process?
[17:40] <Thurin1> Bubo: Yeah, but sometimes that can cause stupid problems with libs.

[17:40] <Thurin1> And have you run apt-get update?
[17:41] <Bubo> yes i have

[17:41] <User-007> Thurin1, how do i update the firewall after adding the rules? (i am using ufw)
[17:41] <Bubo> also i want to install gimp 2.7.5
[17:41] <Bubo> I had 2.6.x installed before, but i removed it using the software center
[17:41] <Bubo> then added the new repository
[17:41] <Bubo> used apt-get update

[17:42] <Thurin1> Bubo: Well that's your prob
[17:42] <MonkeyDust> Lint  maybe you mean dpendencies
[17:42] <llutz> edgy: apt-file list packagename  (man apt-file)
[17:42] <Thurin1> You're using a new repo for apps and your libs are using another repo.
[17:42] <edgy> MonkeyDust, ActionParsnip: tried both apt-cache and dpkg but couldn't know which option
[17:42] <Thurin1> Shouldn't do that.
[17:42] <Lint> dependency is a package manager term
[17:42] <michele__> ciao
[17:42] <edgy> llutz: that didn't work
[17:42] <llutz> edgy: sure it does

[17:52] <Thurin1> User-007: Weird.
[17:52] <Thurin1> User-007: You're on dial-up yeah?
[17:52] <Lint> scripts load libraries via bindings
[17:52] <User_007> Thurin1, no
[17:52] <Thurin1> User_007: Ok
[17:52] <iceroot> Lint: strace should do it
[17:52] <Thurin1> Someone else asked the same thing but was on dial-up.
[17:52] <iceroot> Lint: not easy to read but it will do the job
[17:53] <User_007> i am using a wireless connection,
[17:53] <Thurin1> look at the man User_007 http://man.he.net/man8/ufw see if you maybe .. forgot something.

[17:55] <chreekat> On 11.10, the character '▷' (among others) is wider than others when using the default system fixed-width font on Terminal. On a different laptop running 11.04, it is the same width as everything else. Is this a bug?

[18:03] <davidvasquez> hi
[18:04] <skrewt> When performing the mount command, if my username and my share have a space in them, how do I correctly use them?
[18:04] <davidvasquez> hi
[18:04] <edgy> llutz: nice! now it works
[18:04] <edgy> llutz: thanks a lot
[18:05] <edgy> skrewt: maybe you escape them with \ or quote them with ''
[18:05] <skrewt> ill give it a try
[18:06] <OerHeks> skrewt, If the name of the mount point contains spaces these can be escaped as \040
[18:07] <skrewt> same with username?
[18:07] <OerHeks>  if servername or sharename has a literal space (i.e. ' '), substitute \040 instead, so that 'server name' becomes 'server\040name'
[18:08] <skrewt> perfect
[18:08] <skrewt> ill try it now
[18:09] <skrewt> it may be working, it didnt kick back an error immediately
[18:10] <skrewt> how long should it generally take to mount a windows share or does it take longer the more files it has?
[18:12] <webbatore> here's a Q. i gotta do sth in R (RStudio) for my university. i need to know what colnames and rownames do :) ? any1 pls?
[18:13] <Doumie> helloooo
[18:13] <ciupa> :-) :-) :-) :-)
[18:13] <Doumie> a question to the big circle
[18:14] <Doumie> i've always dreamed using a linux and coding some visual gadgets for myself in them... for an example, i'd like to have somekind of "live clipboard shower" on my desktop etc
[18:14] <Doumie> in what language and how hard is to make such things for ubuntu...
[18:14] <Euthanasia> You have some interesting dreams, sir.
[18:15] <k2s> hi, running Ubuntu with Gnome Shell, when I press Ctrl+Alt+L screen goes blank but shell freezes afterwards. the same if I suspend the PC. any advice ?
[18:15] <monohedron> Doumie, wow that is an idea. Not sure about the plumbing though.
[18:15] <Doumie> i have about 5 years PHP experience and i've also coded some java and c#
[18:16] <Doumie> i'd also like to have "life feed" on my ubuntu screen from twitter, or youtube... or whatever channel i want
[18:16] <Doumie> also the ability to post to them from the desktop
[18:16] <Doumie> etc stuff...
[18:16] <monohedron> Doumie, are you sure you are no troll?
[18:16] <monohedron> just asking
[18:16] <Doumie> lol... no
[18:16] <Doumie> why
[18:16] <Doumie> those things are "common" or smth?
[18:17] <monohedron> google clipboard manager and rss reader
[18:17] <skrewt> was thinking the same thing
[18:17] <monohedron> google 'clipboard manager' and 'rss reader'
[18:18] <Doumie> hmm
[18:18] <Doumie> alright
[18:18] <Doumie> so it's not impossible
[18:18] <Doumie> ;-)
[18:18] <Manehattan> hi, is there a tip on how using pip-installed packages? python complains about not being able to find packages installed via pip
[18:19] <Pici> Manehattan: Are you using pip with sudo?
[18:19] <Manehattan> Pici: yes
[18:19] <Pici> Manehattan: Then it should just work.
[18:19] <Manehattan> Pici: Es ist *should*
[18:20] <Manehattan> Pici: Yes it *should*
[18:20] <sipior> Manehattan: you don't have multiple python interpreters on your system, i presume?
[18:20] <Manehattan> sipior: python2.7 and python3.2
[18:21] <sipior> Manehattan: (i.e., the pip you're using corresponds to the interpreter you're using...)
[18:21] <Lint> when computer is busy my mouse stutters and entire gui freeze, how comes?
[18:21] <lotor> Is there any good recording software for linux (for games) other than glc or better than it ?
[18:22] <Manehattan> sipior: Pip installs for python2.7 and the /usr/bin/python points to python2.7
[18:22] <sipior> Manehattan: can you verify whether pip is dumping into the appropriate site-packages?
[18:23] <Manehattan> sipior: pip tells me "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages"
[18:23] <macmartine> What would cause my nginx pid to differ from what's in the nginx.pid file?
[18:23] <zykes_> is there something wrong with the boot time of 11.10 ?
[18:23] <zykes_> it uses freaking forever to bot
[18:23] <lotor> Is there any good recording software for linux (for games) other than glc or better than it ?
[18:23] <zykes_> boot
[18:23] <sipior> Manehattan: does that directory show up in the list given by sys.path?
[18:24] <zykes_> anyone ?
[18:24] <lotor> Is there any good recording software for linux (for games) other than glc or better than it ?
[18:24] <Pici> lotor: What is glc?
[18:24] <sipior> Manehattan: try setting PYTHONPATH to include that directory, and restart the interpreter.
[18:25] <pros977> lotor: gtk-recordmydesktop is good recording software
[18:25] <Manehattan> sipior: thanks, that seems to the be the problem
[18:25] <lotor> PIci it records OpenGL games
[18:26] <lotor> but  i am not pleased with it
[18:26] <lotor> it uses tooo much HDD space
[18:26] <Pici> lotor: You may want to look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts
[18:27] <lotor> Ty
[18:28] <Manehattan> sipior: I changed the pythonpath, the path shows up in sys.path but it still can't find the package

[18:32] <ss1> hi, i want to use ubuntu with my windows. im downloading vmware. i should install that and then download ubuntu and install it correcT? what is the latest version of ubuntu, thanks.
[18:33] <LukeNukem> how to show the ip on termianl
[18:33] <LukeNukem> internal ip
[18:33] <Manehattan> sipior, Pici: It was a permission error, for some reason pip set all the permissions to 700 on the directories
[18:33] <bazhang> ss1 11.10
[18:33] <danileigh79> ss1: you can install them side by side and choose during start up which you want to use, Ubuntu 11.10 is the current, and 10.04 is the LTS (long term support)
[18:33] <iceroot> LukeNukem: ifconfig
[18:34] <ss1> do you know if i can use torrent to download it? for some reason when i download off websites i get horrible speeds
[18:34] <danileigh79> iceroot: funny, if config doesn't work on my laptop, says command not found even though I have net-tools installed lol

[18:35] <EntityReborn> Having a bit of an issue with grub2 on a L3010 E-Machines desktop, trying to install Ubuntu. After selecting a menu item on ANY of the installer discs (mini/alternate/desktop/server), the cd loads a bit, and then just does a blank screen. I have tried acpi=off, as well as nomodeset.
[18:35] <theadmin> ss1: Yes, Ubuntu offers torrent downloads. Which versions do you need?
[18:35] <auronandace> !torrents | ss1
[18:35] <danileigh79> ss1: I would recommend getting the ISO while using wubi
[18:35] <ss1> oh, thank you.
[18:35] <ss1> getting iso while using wubi? sorry
[18:35] <ss1> i know wubi is the windows installer
[18:36] <whipzu> I'm search a program that convert joypad buttons into =-MOUSE SCROLL WHEEL=- anyone could help me please?
[18:36] <auronandace> ss1: forget about wubi, waste of time
[18:36] <danileigh79> EntityReborn: Try making a usb installer, disc may be damaged
[18:36] <danileigh79> ss1: you can select to dl a distro while using wubi
[18:36] <ss1> can i use ubuntu as virtual machine set up though?
[18:36] <bazhang> ss1 sure via vbox vmware or the like
[18:36] <auronandace> ss1: yes, why vmware? why not virtualbox?
[18:36] <Kartagis> my mic seems to work, but I skype doesn't pick it up and I can't get it to record anything. and ideas?
[18:36] <Kartagis> any*
[18:36] <danileigh79> ss1: it's not necessary, you can use liveusb or live cd and just run a simplified version
[18:36] <ss1> i dont know the difference. im prety new. the reason im using ubuntu is because im learning Ruby on Rails
[18:36] <EntityReborn> danileigh79, I have used 4 seperate discs, frshly burned
[18:37] <ss1> and i do not want to buy a mac
[18:37] <danileigh79> EntityReborn: where are you getting the install to make your discs from?
[18:37] <EntityReborn> danileigh79, torrents
[18:38] <danileigh79> EntityReborn: try getting the actual ISO from ubuntu.org and making a usb installer with pendrive linux
[18:38] <EntityReborn> Will try
[18:39] <EntityReborn> I do know this system can USB boot, so we'll see.
[18:39] <zykes_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/843382/ shouldn't this work ?
[18:39] <danileigh79> ss1: You can make it so your computer has 2 operating systems, and choose which you want to load during boot, I did that for 3 years before getting another computer for just Ubuntu
[18:39] <danileigh79> brb
[18:40] <ss1> yeah.. hmm i might do that

[18:41] <kmels> Hello, a USB seems to be connected (as shown by dmesg) but it doesn't show up in fdisk -l (I want to mount it), what could be wrong?
[18:41] <pros977> kmels: when you dmesg it, you should see a partition like sda1. In which case, create a direction --mkdir usb, then mount /dev/sda1 usb
[18:42] <OerHeks> kmels, use sudo fdisk -l
[18:43] <kmels> pros977, I don't see it, I only see this: http://pastebin.com/sNun3pCd

[18:51] <Natherul> hey all, anyone know how to get emerald working? i got it installed but typing emerald --replace does nothing
[18:51] <Walrus_> Allo.
[18:53] <zykes_> noone here good at net config ?
[18:53] <danileigh79> Natherul: Did you install it through terminal?
[18:54] <theadmin> Natherul: Emerald is deprecated, it no longer possible to use, been so for ages
[18:54] <Natherul> indeed danileigh79
[18:54] <pacman105> ciao
[18:54] <pacman105> !list
[18:54] <theadmin> Natherul: emerald is a compiz window decorator, and I tend to beleive that compiz dropped support for it
[18:54] <danileigh79> Natherul: theadmin is right, it's outdated, what version Ubuntu you have?
[18:55] <Natherul> the newest, 11.10 isn't it? :P
[18:55] <NimeshNeema> Bubo: Ask LjL he might be able to give some help
[18:55] <danileigh79> Natherul: It shouldn't have dl'ed unless you had the ppa reinstalled... it was deleted back in 10.04 I believe
[18:55] <theadmin> Natherul: The real newest is the unreleased 12.04 alpha. The newest main release is 11.10, and the newest LTS is 10.04, so which of these 3 xD
[18:56] <danileigh79> theadmin: quit being a pain lmao
[18:56] <Natherul> i use 11.10
[18:56] <theadmin> danileigh79: ?
[18:56] <danileigh79> theadmin: I was making a joke about how literal you ccan be sometimes
[18:57] <theadmin> Natherul: Either way -- Emerald is outdated. You don't use it. Why do you want it, anyway?
[18:57] <theadmin> danileigh79: I'm just making sure.
[18:57] <danileigh79> theadmin: I know :P
[18:57] <Natherul> i found a theme i would like to use, i dont really like the GUI of the ubuntu they way it comes "out of the box"
[18:57] <michal__> hiho
[18:58] <theadmin> Natherul: Well... that's sad, cause, well, won't work. Search for Compiz/Metacity themes instead
[18:58] <michal__> I am newbie;d
[18:58] <theadmin> michal__: Just ask your questions
[18:58] <Chipzzz> Bubo: did you try changing the theme?
[18:58] <danileigh79> Natherul: recommended tool is gnome-tweek-tool, works for unity too
[18:58] <theadmin> danileigh79: It's spelt "tweak" :P
[18:59] <danileigh79> theadmin: duh *facepalm*
[18:59] <danileigh79> theadmin: I made a boo boo
[18:59] <Natherul> gnome-tweek, compiz, metacity are these theme managers as well?
[18:59] <theadmin> Natherul: Compiz is the current Ubuntu window manager iirc, Metacity is the fallback one. Gnome-Tweak-Tool is just a crazy set of configuration options
[18:59] <danileigh79> Natherul: gnome-tweak-tool compiz and metacity, yes, I mispelled tweak
[19:00] <Natherul> is there any site dedicated to themes to either of those? :P
[19:01] <danileigh79> Natherul: gnome-look.org I believe
[19:01] <michal__> What I can make on ubuntu?
[19:01] <Natherul> thank you, both danileigh79 and theadmin
[19:01] <danileigh79> Natherul: I also have screenlets installed, you can find screenlets from gnome-look.org too

[19:16] <tkroo> hi, I have a cursor problem. here is a video showing what is happening:http://youtu.be/LLMzTE-d7Fw    I think it was caused when I chose 'high contrast' from the accessibility icon during installation of Ubuntu. How can i fix this? thanks!
[19:17] <ubuntos> sudo os-prober
[19:17] <ubuntos> then
[19:17] <ubuntos> sudo update-grub
[19:17] <ubuntos> I think this will fix it
[19:18] <danileigh79> tkroo: high contrast enables visual assistance, changing from high contrast should fix this
[19:18] <tkroo> danileigh79, i've toggled high contrast several times, it still persists
[19:18] <danileigh79> tkroo: after changing back, did you reboot?
[19:19] <savage2005> it found 1 win 1 win recovery and 1 linux, this is promising im going to restart and check it out, thanks ubuntos
[19:19] <tkroo> danileigh79, yes rebooted also.
[19:19] <ubuntos> savage2005: you are welcome :)
[19:19] <tkroo> danileigh79, it happens when i use a Unity session and when i use a Gnome session at login.
[19:20] <mustafaerhann> ~/.config/autostart or in /etc/xdg/autostart.  danileigh79 look this files.
[19:20] <illsci> I'm trying to increase the open file limits for a user name esearch and I edited the limits.conf file but ulimit -Hn and ulimit -Sn still show 1024
[19:20] <illsci> is there some trick to get this to work on Ubuntu?
[19:20] <tkroo> so it's happening not just in Unity, but also in Gnome. is what i mean.
[19:20] <danileigh79> tkroo: check out universal access
[19:21] <danileigh79> tkroo: in system settings
[19:21] <savage2005> ubuntos, no dice still 2 of each
[19:21] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: gonna check it out in a few
[19:22] <mustafaerhann> ok.
[19:22] <systemclient> How can I get the graphics library into php? I use plain libapache-php5
[19:22] <mustafaerhann> u should add the command that u using to enable your wifi  in a autostart.desktop file.
[19:22] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: ok, opened it up in gedit, how should I word the commands?
[19:23] <mustafaerhann> exactly what u using to enable your wifi.
[19:23] <mustafaerhann> its works as a terminal.
[19:23] <Pici> systemclient: You mean php5-gd?
[19:23] <tkroo> danileigh79, i'll try toggling some more options there to see if it helps. i've tried changing the cursor theme and i can get the theme to change, but anywhere the cursor changes to a "hover" icon, it goes to 'high contrast' big style.
[19:23] <danileigh79> must ok
[19:23] <systemclient> Pici: that sounds good
[19:23] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: ok
[19:23] <mustafaerhann> ok. inform me  bio break.!
[19:23] <danileigh79> tkroo: ok, I'm sorry wasn't of more help
[19:24] <tkroo> danileigh79, cheers
[19:24] <ubuntos> savage2005: are you ready to get your hands dirty and remove them manually ?
[19:24] <systemclient> Pici: yeah, it works. thanks!
[19:24] <Pici> systemclient: sure, no problem.
[19:24] <savage2005> ubuntos, yeah, be warned though my linux exp is pretty small
[19:25] <ubuntos> take a look at /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[19:26] <ubuntos> you must open it with sudo
[19:26] <ubuntos> sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[19:26] <Myrtti> ubuntos: gksudo
[19:27] <meskarune> someone is probably gonna jump on yoru with gksu ubuntos
[19:27] <ubuntos> the same
[19:27] <savage2005> i opened it with gedit, it is empty
[19:27] <Myrtti> ubuntos: not really
[19:27] <meskarune> oh lol
[19:27] <savage2005> ubuntos, i opened it with gedit, it is empty
[19:27] <meskarune> savage2005: can you do "cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg" in a terminal?
[19:28] <meskarune> savage2005: or "locate grub.cfg"
[19:28] <popsch> when I delete something located at a different partition (same machine, not a network mount), then it doesn't show up in the trashcan
[19:28] <popsch> where can I find the trashed files, please?
[19:28] <ubuntos> are you sure ?
[19:29] <savage2005> meskarune, i have grub.cfg located
[19:29] <meskarune> awesome
[19:29] <popsch> ubuntos, yes
[19:29] <ubuntos> cat it out :)
[19:30] <ubuntos> make sure you type the path correctly
[19:30] <forever889>  popsch: usually on the disk as hidden .trash001
[19:30] <savage2005> where do i want to cat it to?
[19:31] <ubuntos> pastebin.com
[19:31] <meskarune> savage2005: just type "cat /path to file" in teh terminal and past the output to pastebin. then link that here
[19:31] <popsch> forever889, interesting. I found that directory, but how do I delete the stuff in there via the gui?
[19:32] <popsch> forever889, these files don't show up when I click on the trash icon
[19:32] <forever889> popsch: depends if its root lock. to get full access to your files use: sudo nautilus
[19:33] <savage2005> meskarune, http://pastebin.com/uAnV4W0Y
[19:33] <forever889> in console
[19:33] <meskarune> popsch: never do sudo nautilus...
[19:33] <ubuntos> savage2005: it is not empty loool
[19:34] <savage2005> when i opened with gedit it waas
[19:34] <savage2005> but just cat in terminal gave me all that
[19:34] <loganrun> does anyone know how to change the default pdf viewer
[19:34] <Myrtti> forever889, popsch, ubuntos: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo
[19:34] <CrOnOs2000> hi i have a problem cups, textonly driver just dont work, log say -document-format-not-supported any ideas?
[19:35] <savage2005> ubuntos, i told you i was noob lol
[19:35] <thearthur> pallet
[19:36] <ubuntos> savage2005: no pb I was a noob too not long ago ;)
[19:37] <ubuntos> savage2005: you have 4  menu entries :
[19:37] <savage2005> yeah
[19:37] <ubuntos> Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.38-8-generic
[19:37] <ubuntos> Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.38-8-generic (recovery mode)
[19:38] <ubuntos> Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sdb1)
[19:38] <ubuntos> and
[19:38] <ubuntos> Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sdd1)
[19:38] <savage2005> i only want 2, when i select what os i want its the top win and top ubuntu is it same order in this list?
[19:38] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: it won't let me save it, says there's no file to save...
[19:40] <ubuntos> savage2005: this is the default ubuntu grub behavior
[19:42] <ubuntos> you can keep 2 menu entries but it is not a good idea
[19:42] <savage2005> i dont know what you mean
[19:42] <BlouBlou> savage2005: you may want to keep OS's recovery mode, so if they fail, you'll be able to fix them
[19:43] <ubuntos> if you want a fancy grub menu try to install burg
[19:43] <Somelauw> Where should I put my script so it gets executes immediately when I log in?
[19:43] <ubuntos> http://bit.ly/oRkpLx
[19:43] <savage2005> right but those are not on my list the i have 4 os's on my start up only 2 work
[19:43] <danileigh79> Somelauw: I'm trying to do the same thing lol
[19:44] <savage2005> delete that "the"
[19:44] <danileigh79> Somelauw: I was told ~config/autostart, but I'm having trouble with it saving
[19:44] <ubuntos> 2 os + 2 recovery
[19:44] <savage2005> 2 dont work
[19:45] <Somelauw> danileigh79: I assume they meant .config
[19:45] <dryicebomb> BlouBlou: is this a graphical environment? if so you can go to startup applications and call out your script there
[19:45] <BlouBlou> Somelauw: you can save it wherever you want, just add it to "Start applications"
[19:45] <uchitel> how can i configure the right-click context menu?
[19:45] <savage2005> the recoverys are selected using f8 while highlighted
[19:45] <CXIV> I want to install ubuntu and I got old IBM thinkpad with very slow HDD , about 12 MB/s read and write , what file system will be the best for such a slow disk?
[19:46] <Diranged> is there an RC script in ubuntu that i can add to that will run on-shutdown of a host?
[19:46] <Diranged> (we want our cloud hosts to deregister a few things on shutdown.. even if they're going to just reboot)
[19:46] <Somelauw> danileigh79: It doesn't save?
[19:47] <BlouBlou> Somelauw: yeah, or as dryicebomb said "startup applications" (I have ubuntu in spanish)
[19:47] <danileigh79> Somelauw: I just used gedit ~/.config/autostart.desktop and it worked
[19:47] <ubuntos> Myrtti: thx a lot for the link, I did not know that a difference exists !
[19:48] <Somelauw> BlouBlou: Okay, I'll try that. I assume it automatically creates a desktop file.
[19:48] <danileigh79> Somelauw: now to test if it will work by rebooting :P
[19:48] <danileigh79> bbs, gonna test out a autostart script
[19:49] <ubuntos> savage2005: if you want to remove them you can delete :
[19:49] <ubuntos> menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.38-8-generic (recovery mode)" { ... }
[19:49] <ubuntos> and
[19:49] <ubuntos> menuentry "Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sdd1)" --class windows --class os { ... }
[19:49] <ubuntos> but be very careful !!!!!
[19:50] <savage2005> brb
[19:50] <tasslehoff> is it no longer possible to select a custom script to open a movie file with? in nautilus´ menu I only get a list of the recommended applications
[19:51] <Diranged> anybody know of a 'on shutdown' script that runs in ubuntu?
[19:51] <Somelauw> Okay, I'll try
[19:52] <trever420> Diranged you can schedule a shutdown with cron
[19:52] <Somelauw> Okay, it works almost. I just need to disable something.
[19:52] <Somelauw> Because my wallpaper changes twice now
[19:53] <trever420> Diranged: if you only want it to run once at a certain time you can just use the 'at' command
[19:53] <Diranged> no, i want it to run when i shut thebox down
[19:54] <trever420> oh i see
[19:54] <bluebomber> Does anyone know how I can hide the network-manager icon in 11.10?
[19:55] <trever420> u need to put your script in /etc/rc6.d Diranged
[19:55] <Somelauw> Wait, can I disable wallpaper in gnome. The problem is that my script changes wallpaper, but the gnome wallpaper is set after my script ran, so can I prevent gnome from setting my wallpaper?
[19:55] <trever420> and make it executable using chmod + x <scriptname>
[19:55] <Diranged> ok.. thats fine
[19:55] <Diranged> easy enough
[19:55] <trever420> the name of your script I think needs to begin with K99 to run at the right time
[19:55] <trever420> the scripts are ran in alphabetical order in that folder
[19:56] <trever420> i havent dont this in a long time but i think the method is the same
[19:57] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: didn't work...
[19:58] <savage2005> ubunos, i think i might be explaining this wrong, when i boot up after the bios clears i get a screen to choose from 4 OS's that used to be 2 after i reinstalled both OS's the list gave me 4 my 2nd win doesnt work and both ubuntu options load my new install
[19:58] <hexacode> anyone know how i can set defauly file permissions in unix...its default to 666 right now
[19:58] <savage2005> ubuntos,*
[19:58] <hexacode> i need to change it
[19:59] <Somelauw> hexacode: 644, I think
[19:59] <hexacode> Somelauw:  yes but where can i change it
[19:59] <hexacode> or see where its set
[19:59] <danileigh79> Somelauw: Mine didn't work, you try yours yet?
[19:59] <llutz> hexacode: "umask" controls this
[20:00] <Somelauw> danileigh79: It works, it's just that gnome tries to set my wallpaper as well and gnome is winning.
[20:00] <Natherul> hey again, anyone got any idea what might be wrong when you try to gnome-shell --replace and you get the error that OpenGL version could not be determined?
[20:00] <Somelauw> danileigh79: Did you make a .desktop file or use the guitool?
[20:00] <ubuntos> savage2005: does it work ?
[20:00] <savage2005> does what work
[20:00] <trever420> hexacode and llutz: isnt that controlled in /etc/profile
[20:01] <Somelauw> hexacode: chmod 644 filename
[20:01] <danileigh79> Somelauw: how did you build the script? I'm trying to run "modprobe b43" to automatically enable my wifi when I start my laptop
[20:01] <Somelauw> Or use properties
[20:01] <trever420> or is that in ~/.bashrc
[20:01] <ubuntos> removing the 2 menu from grub.cfg
[20:01] <Somelauw> danileigh79: It's just bash and it is set to exectuble
[20:01] <trever420> Somelauw, i think he wants to chang ethe DEFAULT permissions
[20:01] <trever420> on all files
[20:01] <savage2005> i didnt do it, little nervous im doing the wrong thing
[20:01] <danileigh79> Somelauw: I wonder if it didn't work because it requires sudo...
[20:02] <Somelauw> danileigh79: Maybe you can put gksudo in the script itself.
[20:02] <trever420> hexacode are you trying to change the default permissions on all files created by a user?
[20:02] <ubuntos> savage2005: try to install burg :
[20:02] <ubuntos> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/beautiful-burg-boot-loader-gets-ubuntu-11-04-ppa/
[20:03] <danileigh79> Somelauw: Dunno, will play around with it a bit more in a while
[20:04] <hexacode> trever420 boss wants ftp to default to 775 on file upload....however, the umask section of vsftpd seems to subtract from the default which is 666 it seems. i basically need 775 on file upload through ftp but i need to change the default system i think.
[20:04] <Natherul> anyone got any idea why im getting OpenGL version could not be determined when doing a gnome-shell --replace?
[20:04] <trever420> u have a user account that gets used for FTP uploads hexacode?
[20:05] <trever420> a i think a normal user account's defualt directory permissions are 775 abd tge default file permissions might be 664
[20:06] <trever420> err....  abd/*nd/and       tge/*he/the
[20:06] <savage2005> ubuntos, how do i check to see where my MBR is located (what hard drive)
[20:07] <lasers> savage2005: First 512MB iirc.
[20:07] <trever420> hexacode: also what FTP server package are you using? proftpd?
[20:07] <lasers> savage2005: Oh which hard drive, derp.
[20:07] <mlc> trever420: glxinfo
[20:07] <ubuntos> of the first hard drive
[20:07] <llutz> trever420: "umask" tells you. usually it is 0022, so dirs 755, files 644
[20:08] <trever420> mlc: what?
[20:08] <savage2005> lasers: ?
[20:08] <mlc> trever420: sry^^ wrong copy and past
[20:08] <mlc> Natherul: glxino
[20:09] <mlc> Natherul: glxinfo
[20:09] <trever420> llutz: isnt that only for the root user
[20:09] <llutz> trever420: no
[20:09] <lasers> savage2005: I don't know.
[20:09] <lasers> :0
[20:09] <trever420> i am working on memory here but i thought that Normal users have the default umask of 002 (which is 775 for dirs and 664 for files)
[20:10] <savage2005> oh
[20:10] <Natherul> mlc: its pamming me with Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on displau ":0".
[20:10] <trever420> while root has the umask of 022
[20:10] <mlc> Natherul: ok.. hmmm
[20:10] <llutz> trever420: why don't you check it?
[20:11] <yakc> I'm having troubles to find command to minimize all normal windows. I'm asking because i'll have to re-create one.
[20:11] <trever420> k... give me a sec gotta boot my vmware guest
[20:11] <trever420> or better yet... google :-)
[20:11] <Natherul> mlc: any idea what might be the issue?
[20:11] <ubuntos> savage2005: you are looking in the wrong way : you do not need this technical infos
[20:11] <trever420> wow... ok google i think worked...  http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/understanding-linux-unix-umask-value-usage.html
[20:12] <trever420> The default umask 002 used for normal user. With this mask default directory permissions are 775 and default file permissions are 664.
[20:12] <savage2005> i need to know to know what drive to install burg on
[20:12] <trever420> The default umask for the root user is 022 result into default directory permissions are 755 and default file permissions are 644.
[20:12] <ubuntos> it is /dev/sda ;)
[20:12] <mlc> Natherul: perhaps a missing package
[20:13] <mlc> Natherul: can you open synaptic?
[20:13] <yakc> I'm having troubles to find command to minimize all normal windows. I'm asking because i'll have to re-create shorcut for that
[20:13] <Natherul> sure
[20:13] <ubuntos> savage2005: sudo burg-install "(hd0)"
[20:13] <Natherul> mlc: what do you want me to check in synaptic?
[20:14] <savage2005> ubuntos, oh hey i was just typing all that out in a question
[20:14] <savage2005> do i need the "" and ()?
[20:14] <Alder>
[20:14] <mlc> Natherul: glx
[20:15] <mlc> Natherul: is there any with mesa
[20:15] <ubuntos> savage2005: sory try this : sudo burg-install /dev/sda
[20:15] <savage2005> ubuntos, shouldnt there be an apt-get in there?
[20:15] <Natherul> mlc: a few
[20:16] <mlc> Natherul: libgl1-mesa-glx
[20:16] <savage2005> ubuntos, it says command not found
[20:16] <mlc> Natherul: libgl1-mesa-dri
[20:16] <Natherul> mlc: yeah, its installed
[20:16] <trever420> hexacode: at any rate llutz might be right but the idea is the same...  if you have an FTP group which i assume you do then you can set the permissions just for that group
[20:16] <trever420> or you can set it for one user if you only have one user who uses FTP
[20:17] <mlc> Natherul: libgl1-mesa-dri installed too?
[20:17] <Natherul> mlc: both are installed
[20:17] <mlc> Natherul: ok
[20:17] <trever420> but i think it's better to set it based on the group that way if you hav more users as long as they are part of the group it should work
[20:17] <trever420> just make sure the group has group ownership over the upload directory
[20:18] <ubuntos> savage2005: ok I have found an easier tutorial
[20:18] <savage2005> haha ok
[20:18] <ubuntos> www.unixmen.com/how-to-install-burg-in-ubuntu
[20:18] <mlc> Natherul: graphic card is from nvidia or ati?

[20:20] <savage2005> ubuntos. im back what do you have?
[20:20] <ubuntos> follow the tuto carefully
[20:20] <Natherul> mlc: i have installed the prop drivers (recommended) for it as well
[20:20] <mlc> Natherul: yea that is good
[20:20] <ubuntos> and substitute "(hd0)" with /dev/sda

[20:32] <mustafaerhann> danileigh79: any fix ?
[20:32] <Shupack> i have a external HD... and i have installed some notebooks from pen-drivers, but i wold like to use a HD ext...!
[20:32] <cristian_c> Hi
[20:32] <mustafaerhann> hi
[20:32] <pfifo> Shupack, you should setup grub2 on the drive and use its isoboot feature
[20:33] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: still working on it, I have a couple friends who are trying to talk me through it too
[20:33] <cristian_c> I'm using Oneiric Ocelot 11.10, I purchased an asus WL-330gE. The device shields the connection to the router, unfortunately I have to first establish a direct connection to the router, and then the computer automatically snaps to a repeater. But if the PC tries to connect to the router via the repeater, it fails
[20:33] <cristian_c> the network manager tries to connect several times, but it fails to connect. So I updated the firmware to the latest version, from version <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS>, but unfortunately the problem persists
[20:33] <qw-Russian> what difference between $ and # in Linu
[20:33] <cristian_c> What can I do to solve the problem?
[20:33] <mustafaerhann> $ if u are root # if u are normal user.
[20:33] <mustafaerhann> in a terminal qw-Russian
[20:34] <l0gic> hi
[20:34] <Shupack> thanks
[20:34] <pfifo> qw-Russian, root uses $, take a look at .bashrc
[20:35] <tensorpudding> qw-Russian, on the shell the default prompt uses # at the end for root and $ for other users
[20:35] <llutz> mustafaerhann: other way round,  if u are root #   and if u are normal user $
[20:35] <l0gic> could anybody help me debugging mpd? i did an aptitude upgrade the other day and after a reboot mpd refuses to start
[20:35] <Shupack> ok, but dont have no way to do this?
[20:35] <boba88> i just installed netbeans using the sh script from http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html, and I am doing this for the second time today.. the first time it worked on a different computer, but now it also worked but when i write netbeans on the command line it says no program like that
[20:35] <mustafaerhann> llutz:ah mismatch thats true.

[20:38] <WarDekar_> what IPTables rules do i need to use to forward all HTTP and HTTPS traffic through ppp0?
[20:39] <kaiowas> Hello again. Im about to install Ubuntu on my mac, ive burned the cd and everything looks OK. But now i have to partition my harddrive. If i use the diskutility in OSX to take 20GB of my OSX partition to make a Ubuntu partition, will it ruin anything? I dont feel like reinstalling everything today.. :). Anyone here done this?
[20:39] <djathoris> Has anyone here ever used a 21143/tulip ethernet card with linux?
[20:39] <qw-Russian> su: Failure at verification of authenticity
[20:39] <tumppu> especially if you repartition the disk in mac it wont break anything
[20:40] <llutz> qw-Russian: su only works with enabled root-account.
[20:40] <kaiowas> tumppu: Great, then im all set to go Ubuntu then :).
[20:40] <llutz> qw-Russian: if you need a root-shell, use sudo -i
[20:40] <tumppu> and there is almost no risk in repartitioning it with live-cd either
[20:40] <mustafaerhann> danileigh79 did u put "#!/bin/bash"  begin of your script file and set it executable ?
 qw-Russian: if you need a root-shell, use sudo -i   - please full command
[20:41] <kaiowas> tumppu: well im gonna stick with osx discutility. OSX will be the main operating system, Ubuntu is just for fun.. for now :).
[20:41] <boba88> i just installed netbeans using the sh script from http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html, and I am doing this for the second time today.. the first time it worked on a different computer, but now it also worked but when i write netbeans on the command line it says no program like that
[20:41] <llutz> qw-Russian: that is the full command
[20:41] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: no, I was told I shouldn't have to, but I will try
[20:41] <qw-Russian> thanks
[20:41] <tumppu> kaiowas hope after some time you'll see there's no need for mac ;)
[20:41] <tumppu> or osx
[20:42] <kaiowas> well.. i sell apple computers for a living :).
[20:42] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: gonna do a reboot now see if it works
[20:42] <karsten> I'm running 11.10.  I need to add a printer. CUPS won't allow me to log in (pam failure).  How do I get admin privs unger gnome-control-center ro something like it?
[20:42] <Firebolt> I get "ASSERT: "interface->childCount() == children.count()" in file adaptor.cpp, line 200" when I try to run some Qt-based programs, any fix that isn't running them as root?
[20:42] <mustafaerhann> k. good luck.
[20:42] <danileigh79> I'm putting my phone on irc, danileigh79_2 so I can see what's going on here
[20:42] <danileigh79> mustafaerhann: I'm putting my phone on irc, danileigh79_2 so I can see what's going on here
[20:42] <trever420> kaiowas, I would not recommend using OS X disk utility
[20:43] <kaiowas> trever420: Why not?
[20:43] <trever420> use Gparted
[20:43] <karsten> I'm NOT running the default Ubuntu GUI, FWIW.
[20:43] <tumppu> fdisk
[20:44] <trever420> tumppu, yes, but i'm sure he doesnt know how to use that properly otherwise he wouldnt be asking... for a beginner gparted is ALOT easier
[20:44] <trever420> kaiowas, i did and it actually screwed up i cant explain why
[20:44] <TehAndrewRyan> How would I do to test the sequential read speed of a ramdisk mounted on /run/shm/ ?
[20:44] <kaiowas> i was thinking using bootcamp.. but from what i understand its no good.
[20:44] <trever420> i ended up just using Ubuntu's gparted utility of the live CD
[20:44] <tumppu> trever420 i do egraa
[20:44] <module000> TehAndrewRyan: just use `dd
[20:44] <trever420> kaiowas, thats what i did and didnt work correctly
[20:45] <trever420> gparted is REALLY super easy
[20:45] <trever420> just as easy as OS X's utility if not easier
[20:45] <trever420> it's a GUI
[20:45] <trever420> just click and drag
[20:45] <TehAndrewRyan> module000: Care to explain it further? I don't wanna break anything, as I'm not really an expert with terminal commands :P
[20:45] <tumppu> the worst thing in ubuntu live-cd is that it doesn't install gparted for default
[20:45] <shade34321> so I've managed to convince my boss to let us delete RHEL off of our comptuers and install Ubuntu instead:D
[20:45] <shade34321> just need to work out the kinks:/
[20:45] <qw-Russian> llutz, It do I must will be each time at included in a cantilever to enter this command?
[20:45] <trever420> i think it comes on the ubuntu live CD
[20:45] <koli> you can have gparted if you run the live cd
[20:46] <module000> TehAndrewRyan: `dd` writes data, so `dd if=/dev/zero of=/run/shm/myfile bs=1M count=1000` would create a 1000MB file
[20:46] <kaiowas> but, whats better with gparted? They dont solve my problem the same way?
[20:46] <llutz> qw-Russian: aeh, what?
[20:46] <module000> TehAndrewRyan: that will tell you the write speed. then you acn test the read speed with `dd if=/run/shm/myfile of=/dev/null bs=1M`
[20:46] <qw-Russian> sudo -i
[20:46] <tumppu> i think gparted is capable of doing more
[20:46] <module000> TehAndrewRyan: in a nutshell, you are writing a 1gb file of 0's and timing it. then you are reading that file and timing it
[20:47] <Alderlane> Hi all...   Having a problem with my Acer Aspire NetBook...   Been running Natty Narwhal on it for some time now, but started the install with the 'NetBook' version.   Problem: "FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 1:  Partition ends in the final partial cylinder"   -- as reported by cfdisk on attempt to run utility to view partitions, also 'fsck' will not run without chance of FUBAR'ing the whole disk - as the '/dev/sda1' device is mounted.      Any
[20:47] <Alderlane> way to save this ?
[20:47] <trever420> gparted is alot more capable than OS Xs disk utility
[20:47] <kaiowas> Well i can try, do i boot up the live cd and write gparted in the terminal?
[20:47] <trever420> but for the simple thing he needs he doesnt need to know all of it's feautres
[20:47] <shade34321> so we have a /home NFS mount and on start up it does not automatically mount, you have to log in as root first and then it mounts (You don't have to do anything after logging in and it just mounts). Any idea as to why?
[20:47] <trever420> kaiowas, which version of ubuntu are you using?
[20:47] <tumppu> boot the "tes ubuntu without installing"
[20:47] <qw-Russian> llutz, sudo -i
[20:47] <trever420> server or Desktop?
[20:47] <llutz> qw-Russian: pls rephrase your question
[20:47] <danileigh79_2> mustafaerhann, ok, how do I make it so it will do a sudo command?
[20:48] <kaiowas> 11.10 amd64 mac
[20:48] <kaiowas> desktop
[20:48] <tumppu> gparted is GUI-program, so you need graphical desktop environment to run it
[20:48] <trever420> amd64?
[20:48] <trever420> tumppu hence why i was asking
[20:48] <kaiowas> the iso said so..
[20:48] <tumppu> macs have novadays intel processors
[20:48] <trever420> why are you using the AMD64 on a mac
[20:48] <kaiowas> yeah but i was
[20:48] <trever420> it's an Intel
[20:48] <llutz> trever420: amd64 is intel too
[20:48] <kaiowas> recomended  this iso in here, and downloaded it from ubuntus site.
[20:49] <tumppu> its the 64bit "standard"
[20:49] <trever420> oh is it
[20:49] <llutz> trever420: thats just the name of the 64bit extensions, "invented" by AMD
[20:49] <trever420> ohh i see
[20:49] <trever420> sorry my fault
[20:49] <trever420> lol
[20:49] <kaiowas> trever420: i was thinking the same thing when i saw the name, but it also said mac so i guessed it was right.
[20:50] <trever420> well at any rate kaiowas when you boot up the live cd you can select to run it without installing
[20:50] <bik-family> hello all, is this the channel to ask 4 help with ubuntu precise?
[20:50] <trever420> this will bring you to the Ubuntu desktop
[20:50] <Alderlane> afk for a moment to get a USB stick...  brb
[20:50] <trever420> and i dont know exactly wherre in the new version Gparted is but it's on there
[20:50] <llutz> trever420: same thing as you can use i396 on AMD too. just stupid names
[20:50] <kaiowas> Im actually running ubuntu now in Parallels.. maybe i can do it from here?
[20:50] <tumppu> you can search it on the dash
[20:50] <trever420> i dont have the desktop version myself... i have the server version
[20:51] <tumppu> that comes visible when clicked top left corner
[20:51] <trever420> oh ok it has a search function in the desktop version
[20:51] <trism> bik-family: #ubuntu+1
[20:51] <qw-Russian> llutz, I talked about a transition between account and when I am included in a cantilever I not root and after the command of sudo I I am root Question: will I now constantly have to enter this command to be root?
[20:51]  * Alderlane is back
[20:51] <trever420> yea just like OS X's spotlight feature
[20:51] <llutz> qw-Russian: yes
[20:51] <trever420> just type in gparted in the search and it should show up
[20:51] <trever420> then when u run it it'll find your internal drive
[20:51] <tumppu> i like more gnome3 way to do it than unity's
[20:51] <qw-Russian> okey, thank you
[20:51] <llutz> qw-Russian: theres usually no need to be constantly root.
[20:51] <Ariel88> Hi
[20:51] <bik-family> thnx
[20:51] <trever420> i havent used a linux GUI in soooo long
[20:51] <tumppu> :D
[20:52] <danileigh79_2> How do i set up an auto start command to execute as sudo?
[20:52] <kaiowas> nope, i doesn't find it.
[20:52] <tumppu> links and terminal :P
[20:52] <llutz> danileigh79_2: add it to /etc/rc.local
[20:52] <tumppu> kaiowas try alt+f2 and then write gparted
[20:52] <tumppu> or in terminal sudo gparted
[20:52] <Shupack> somebody know somethen about crystal reports?
[20:53] <danileigh79> llutz: The file is currently set as ~/.config/autostart.desktop, do I just drag, drop to the folder you stated?
[20:53] <kaiowas> sudo: gparted: command not found
[20:53] <llutz> danileigh79: ah a gui thing, that won't work from rc.local.
[20:53] <kaiowas> apt-get gparted maybe?
[20:53] <trever420> i just looked it may not come on the CD it seems
[20:53] <tumppu> apt-get install gparted
[20:53] <iceroot> kaiowas: sudo apt-get install gparted
[20:53] <trever420> but i could've sworn it did at one point
[20:53] <Alderlane> afw, going to try wiping my USB thumb so I can create a rescue drive for the netbook..  brb
[20:53] <Ariel88> Sorry. I forgot my password and cant log into ubuntu! any help??
[20:54] <rasca> Hello I've just installed vsftpd but when I try to run it with `sudo service vsftpd start` I get: `vsftpd stop/pre-start, process 5958` but no process is running..
[20:54] <trever420> ariel88 yes i can help
[20:54] <Ariel88> trever420 thanks!
[20:54] <kaiowas> its installing now
[20:54] <trever420> Ariel88 u'll need to boot into single user mode to get it changed
[20:54] <danileigh79> llutz: what exactly I'm trying to do is have the computer execute "sudo modprobe b43" during start up so I can quit typing it in terminal to activate my wi-fi adapter
[20:54] <trever420> this will drop you to a root console
[20:54] <TehAndrewRyan> module000: And this gives me the sequential speeds of it?
[20:54] <Ariel88> aha, and then??
[20:54] <trever420> are you on a different computer from the one u need to change the password on Ariel88 ?
[20:55] <rasca> when I execute it in standalone mode it works perfect
[20:55] <module000> TehAndrewRyan: yep, itw ill tell you bytes-per-sec for both of those operations
[20:55] <trever420> i'll walk you through the steps
[20:55] <Ariel88> no, its this pc, another partition
[20:55] <trever420> eek... you should try to get at me from a different machine :-(
[20:55] <piehands> Hi there... I was led here from the Ubuntu.com website... I am in dire need of some help if possible...?
[20:55] <trever420> u need to boot in single user mode to make it work
[20:55] <Ariel88> ok, ill search the web about single user mode
[20:55] <Ariel88> thanks for the tip!!
[20:56] <kaiowas> it looks like parallels wont let me find my harddrive, it just shows the image file for it..
[20:56] <trever420> Ariel88, http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub
[20:56] <Ariel88> thanks a lot
[20:56] <trever420> the difference is that when you run 'passwd'
[20:56] <trever420> you need to type the username after
[20:56] <Natherul> anyone know how to fix when im adding drivers to my nvidia card then im not allowed to run gnome-shell as then OpenGL version can not be determined? it works without prop drivers but then the comp is slower -.-
[20:56] <trever420> so for example "passwd <username>"
[20:57] <trever420> kaiowas, did gparted install?
[20:57] <Ariel88> and why is that important?
[20:57] <trever420> Ariel88 so it knows which user you are changing the password for
[20:57] <trever420> lol
[20:57] <Ariel88> i see, thanks!!
[20:57] <kaiowas> trever420: yes, but it only shows 60 gb of my harddrive that is on 320... So I think Parallels is hiding my drive and just shows an image.
[20:58] <trever420> otherwise it'll just change the root password which this channel doesnt support logging on as root Ariel88 so i cant help you with that without ppl freaking out on me
[20:58] <rasca> any ideas?
[20:58] <trever420> but just make sure you type passwd <username> when you get to that step
[20:59] <trever420> hmmm i dunno how parrell could be hiding it but i guess it could be possible
[20:59] <kriestof> hi, how can I copy my parittion from one device to another?
[20:59] <trever420> kriestof, another reason to use gparted :-)
[20:59] <bananstol> quick question. how do i find out what version of the drivers are contained in the "nvidia-current" package?
[20:59] <iceroot> kriestof: the exact image? with the same size?
[21:00] <tumppu> does the gparted find 1 or more disks?
[21:00] <trever420> yes
[21:00] <trever420> it can shows the disk on the upper right hand side
[21:00] <piehands> I am an absolute Ubuntu novice, and I needed to try and retrieve some files from a dodgy hard drive & was told that I could install Ubuntu and backp the files from there... So I installed Ubuntu on my Windows 7 64bit machine, and now I cannot boot Windows anymore, it comes up with the error "error: no such device: aa47e41b-f58f-4009-a05f-9ff32db85c8c. grub rescue>" - This is as far as I can
[21:00] <piehands> get!! I really am scared, I neeeeed to get back into Windows! Please, I beg you, can someone help me???
[21:00] <trever420> you select the drop down
[21:01] <trever420> piehands do you care if you can still boot ubuntu?
[21:01] <kriestof> iceroot: No, it's my home paritition and I want to move it to completely other one(in size and fs).
[21:01] <piehands> No, I don't care about Ubnutu, I just need Windows back
[21:01] <tumppu> piehands open nautilus (the file manager)
[21:01] <trever420> do u have access to a Windows 7 CD?
[21:01] <ikonia> piehands: if your disk is dying you won't get it back with ubuntu, you'll need a professional data recovery service
[21:01] <trever420> u can rewrite the bootloader and get rid of grub
[21:02] <piehands> Nautilus, is that on the Ubntu disk?
[21:02] <trever420> also if ur disk is dead like ikonia said then u could be screwed
[21:02] <kaiowas> tumppu: one disc, wich is what i have..
[21:02] <piehands> trevor420 - how can I rewrite the bootlaoder? I don't have a windows 7 disk to hand...
[21:02] <trever420> piehands... can u access the hard drive from the Ubuntu Live CD?
[21:03] <Firebolt> piehands, do you get to the grub screen itself?
[21:03] <piehands> The disk I was trying to get fiels from was an external, so that don't matter.. It's the main C drive & windows I need back
[21:03] <tumppu> kaiowas ok
[21:03] <trever420> this will tell us if the HD is actually working
[21:03] <Firebolt> or does the entire boot partition fail?
[21:03] <kaiowas> it shows used 5.54gb and Unused 57.71gb.. and its 320gb. So thats why i figure it must be Parallels that is blocking it.
[21:03] <Natherul> anyone know how to fix when im adding drivers to my nvidia card then im not allowed to run gnome-shell as then OpenGL version can not be determined? it works without prop drivers but then the comp is slower -.-
[21:04] <ikonia> Natherul: where are you getting drivers from ?
[21:04] <piehands> I'm rebooting from the ubntu livecd, one moment... I am quite sure i can get to the c drive from there
[21:04] <Ariel88> trevor420: ill try this. Thanks again!
[21:04] <Natherul> ikonia: the additional drivers in ubuntu´s system settings
[21:04] <ikonia> Natherul: that's great, thats the right place to get them
[21:04] <st0rmr1der> Hello to everyone
[21:05] <kriestof> iceroot: Will using just cp will be a good idea?
[21:05] <Natherul> ikonia: indeed but it still fekks up the OpenGL so icant run gnome-shell
[21:05] <ikonia> Natherul: tone down the language please
[21:05] <ikonia> Natherul: what video card do you have ?
[21:05] <kaiowas> piehands: might not help you now, but i have a bad external harddrive that i cant acces from OSX.. In Ubuntu i can access it and copy everything. So goodluck with your external.
[21:06] <Natherul> ikonia: I meant no disrespect, that why I did not use the right word, and its an Nvidia mobile GT525
[21:07] <trever420> Ariel88: np
[21:07] <trever420> let me know if u need assistance
[21:07] <trever420> oh he's gone
[21:07] <trever420> lol
[21:07] <kaiowas> Right, im gonna try disk utility now..
[21:07] <ikonia> Natherul: do you have the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:07] <shade34321> anybody have any experience with NFS mounts?
[21:08] <trever420> kaiowas, what happened with gpared?
[21:08] <TehAndrewRyan> Would a local MySQL database improve performance significantly compared to one running off of a website?
[21:08] <Alderlane> How do I remove the 'write protection' on a USB Thumb Drive ?   There are two partitions '/dev/sr2' and '/dev/sdg' and "there can be only one"..  :)
[21:08] <ikonia> shade34321: yes, just ask your questio
[21:08] <ikonia> shade34321: yes, just ask your question
[21:08] <ikonia> TehAndrewRyan: what ?
[21:08] <User_007> i was using ufw, but when i try to start it says : error problem running ufw-init, when i try running ufw-init i get: Skip starting firewall: ufw (not enabled). What should i do?
[21:08] <kaiowas> trever420: doesnt find my harddrive
[21:08] <trever420> :-\ really?
[21:08] <shade34321> ikonia, We have an ubuntu machine and it doesn't automatically mount the nfs start up
[21:08] <trever420> that is strange
[21:08] <ikonia> shade34321: is it in the fstab ? or an automount map
[21:08] <shade34321> we have to login as root first, though we don't have to do anything, for it to mount for all users
[21:09] <shade34321> ikonia, yes it's in the fstab, and should be in the automount map but I can't guarantee it
[21:09] <kaiowas> trever420: I think its Parallels thats blocking it. Im gonna try to edit some settings.
[21:09] <shade34321> I will try and check it
[21:09] <TehAndrewRyan> ikonia: I happen to be running a dedicated server computer for a Minecraft server, which stores information for rollbacks on a database running on our website. Whenever we try to rollback though, the whole server just freezes and then crashes, and I don't think it's the computer itself which is lacking performance to do the task, since we can do way heavier stuff without crashing it
[21:09] <ikonia> shade34321: why would you have it as an automount map if it's in the fstab, that makes no sense
[21:10] <kpas_> TehAndrewRyan,  Yes it will be faster access a DB local to the machine the across a network
[21:10] <ikonia> TehAndrewRyan: what version of ubuntu are you using on the server ?
[21:10] <Natherul> ikonia: yes i do have that file, sorry for the delay of response :P
[21:10] <shade34321> ikonia, you asked. I've never heard of the automount map before so I just googled it. If it's not necessary if it's in the fstab then that would not be the issue
[21:11] <waltermundt> Question: in 11.10, when I use xmonad, many GNOME applications seem to be missing many of their icons, particularly the stock ones.  They look fine when run from Unity.  Any ideas what might be wrong?
[21:11] <kaiowas> trever420: It IS Parallels thats blocking it.   Is there a shortvut to accomplish this ??
[21:11] <ikonia> TehAndrewRyan: so, the mysql database is run on this machine ?
[21:11] <Alderlane> shortcut
[21:12] <kaiowas> trever420: it is a virtual drive, but it only shows the virtual to gparted.
[21:12] <ikonia> Natherul: ok - so that's the issue, that's why the nvidia module is not being loaded, and you have no 3d performance
[21:12] <shade34321> ikonia, ok
[21:12] <ikonia> Natherul: or at least, thats the start of the issue
[21:12] <Natherul> ikonia: ok, how do i fix this? ^^
[21:12] <ikonia> shade34321: so can you paste the fstab in a pastebin please.
[21:12] <ikonia> Natherul: can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:12] <Somelauw> Does anyone know how to disable gnome from setting background
[21:12] <MaynardW1ters> hello im trying to mount and external 2 drive device which i formatted on slackware 13.37
[21:13] <MaynardW1ters> when I mount it says the filesystem type is not recognized
[21:13] <kaiowas> should i format the new partition somehow, or just as freespace?
[21:13] <ikonia> MaynardW1ters: what file system is on them
[21:13] <MaynardW1ters> i am usign ext3 and it shows up correctly in the disk utility
[21:13] <ikonia> MaynardW1ters: what mount command are you using (exactly)
[21:13] <waltermundt> gnome-control-center is one of the worst.  It prints many "WARNING **: Could not find icon" messages and half the icons on in the main window are missing completely
[21:13] <BrandonBolton> Hello guys, what is the package name for the user management program in Ubuntu?
[21:13] <Alderlane> Hi all...   Having a problem with my Acer Aspire NetBook...   Been running Natty Narwhal on it for some time now, but started the install with the 'NetBook' version.   Problem: "FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 1:  Partition ends in the final partial cylinder"   -- as reported by cfdisk on attempt to run utility to view partitions, also 'fsck' will not run without chance of FUBAR'ing the whole disk - as the '/dev/sda1' device is mounted.      Any
[21:13] <Alderlane> way to save this ?
[21:13] <Natherul> ikonia: paste.ubuntu.com/843545/
[21:13] <MaynardW1ters> mount -t ext3 /dev/sdh1 /media/mountpoint
[21:13] <TehAndrewRyan> ikonia: No, the DB is running on our web host, as our admin was setting up the database for the website, we decided to use the same)
[21:14] <ikonia> TehAndrewRyan: ok, so running jobs local to the mysql server will improve performance, especially if there is interaction in the job
[21:14] <shade34321> ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu.com/843550/
[21:14] <Alderlane> If I can get this 'write protection' off the Thumb drive, I'll try creating a rescue 'disk'.
[21:14] <shade34321> ikonia, line 17 is the nfs mount
[21:15] <zarus> I'm trying to install from cd and I choose IDE CD-ROM at the menu, but it boots up the installed OS anyway. How to fix this?
[21:15] <ikonia> Natherul: make the file look like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/843554/
[21:16] <ikonia> shade34321: ok - so that should get mounted at boot time as long as the server responds within 14 seconds,
[21:16] <toutouille> pourquoi je n'arrive plus à me connecter ?
[21:16] <ikonia> shade34321: what makes you think it's not getting mounted (this may seem a silly question - I assure you it's not)
[21:16] <shade34321> ikonia, no I understand
[21:16] <waltermundt> fixed it -- my machine was missing gnome-icon-theme-full
[21:16] <kaiowas> trever420: should i format the new partition somehow, or just as freespace?
[21:17] <shade34321> ikonia, when users log in, say asmith for instance, he can't access his home partition which is on the NFS mount.
[21:17] <waltermundt> which was apparently the default theme if you run a non-Unity environment
[21:17] <trever420> ummm... kaiowas i dont think it matters
[21:17] <shade34321> ikonia, now if he logs in as root first then logs out he is able to
[21:17] <trever420> when u install ubuntu it'll format it for you
[21:17] <toutouille> y a-t-il quelqu'un qui comprend le français svp ?
[21:17] <trever420> or should
[21:17] <ikonia> shade34321: ok, my first issue is, how can a user login as root, the ubuntu root password is locked
[21:17] <trever420> prob to EXT4 since OS X cant format to EXT4 i wouldnt bother doing anything
[21:17] <kaiowas> trever420: ill format it in fat32 just incase, atleast i can see wich one is correct by looking at the format :).
[21:17] <trever420> just leave it free
[21:18] <trever420> yea
[21:18] <shade34321> ikonia, we have it unlocked in our lab, he didn't like RHEL so he wiped his computer and installed ubuntu
[21:18] <tumppu> in ubuntu itäs not possible to login as root
[21:18] <spaceindaver> You can change the root password to anything you want by typing "sudo passwd"
[21:18] <guntbert> !fr | toutouille
[21:18] <rsainz> sudo bash o sudo -s
[21:18] <shade34321> with that being said we just got it approved for everybody to switch over to ubuntu instead of rhel since it's to far behind for what hey do
[21:18] <ikonia> shade34321: is he the only user on the system ?
[21:18] <tumppu> for that there's sudo
[21:18] <toutouille> ALLO !!!! c'est le site xubuntu ?
[21:18] <guntbert> !noroot | spaceindaver
[21:18] <shade34321> ikonia, technically no but he is the primary user
[21:18] <ikonia> shade34321: is it possible to do a reboot on the machine ?
[21:19] <shade34321> we have a lab of roughly 40 computers and any user can log on any computer
[21:19] <shade34321> ikonia, right now...no
[21:19] <shade34321> he's running simulations
[21:19] <spaceindaver> ok, sorry
[21:19] <randOmize> Hi there, I just installed an audio card, and then selected it in the audio settings.  I tested it, and it spoke the name of each speaker, so it works.  But it wont make any system beeps, or play audio from videos or mp3s.  Anyone have a fix?
[21:19] <ikonia> shade34321: what I'd like to test (when possible) is a reboot of the machine - log in directly as root and run "mount -a" do you get the error "/home is already mounted"
[21:19] <kaiowas> Right, im off to install.. Thanks for your help everyone.
[21:19] <guntbert> rsainz: sudo -i is "the preferred way"
