[13:33] <iceroot> gskill: just use sudo for that
[13:33] <gskill> :O
[13:33] <iceroot> gskill: as i said there is no reason for a real root-account
[13:33] <gskill> sudo keyring unlock? :/
[13:33] <dyd> Felersurm: lol... now it's not working
[13:33] <ParkerR> iceroot, lets agree to disagree.
[13:33] <iceroot> gskill: if keyring unlock is the command, yes
[13:33] <dyd> Felersurm: maybe cause i installed grub on the 160hd manually?
[13:34] <iceroot> !sudo | gskill
[13:34] <Pici> gskill: no... I think you're confusing the difference between using sudo or gksudo with actually unlocking the root account and setting a password.
[13:34] <Felersurm> dyd: maybe yes
[13:34] <Pici> gskill: unlocking the keyring has nothing to do with this.
[13:34] <Felersurm> dyd: ok unplug the 500G one again
[13:34] <gskill> never mind
[13:34] <zhangyang09> how to check a file in which package in ubuntu
[13:34] <dyd> Felersurm: done
[13:34] <gskill> I want to restore my gdm in a first place
[13:34] <Felersurm> !grub > dyd
[13:34] <Pici> zhangyang09: dpkg -S /path/to/file
[13:35] <iceroot> zhangyang09: apt-file search, http://packages.ubuntu.com, dpkg -S /path/to/local/file
[13:35] <Felersurm> !grub > Felersurm
[13:35] <dyd> Felersurm: thank you
[13:35] <R1ck> so I have this preseed file which works beautifully, my root and swap are created (root within an LVM), but now I have made a second preseed file which includes the first but with a seperate /home partition in the LVM. It doesnt work, it does include the other preseed file, but the setting i'm trying to override (d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string) doesnt seem to take effect
[13:35] <ParkerR> Iforgot how nice 10.04 was
[13:35] <ParkerR> *I forgot
[13:35] <Pici> Felersurm: You may want to tray asking in #ubuntu-server for your question (or ##linux since it doesn't seem to be Ubuntu specific)
[13:35] <gskill> ParkerR, I had 10,04
[13:36] <trinity9000> Lartza: The difference between the server and desktop kernel is described here: http://tegeksinfo.wordpress.com/2011/05/06/kernel-differences-between-ubuntu-linux-desktop-and-server-editions/
[13:36] <squig> i like 10.04
[13:36] <gskill> but it crashes with my graphic card too
[13:36] <zhangyang09> oh, Thanks , i find it use dpkg -S.. :)
[13:36] <qin> Lartza: On headless machine, rtorrent is sensible, also deluge and transmission can be operated from cli and via web, there are also auto-downloaders and tracker updater operated even via irc, but it is off-topic.
[13:36] <ParkerR> squig, It just feels snappier to me than 11.*
[13:37] <dyd> Felersurm: i'm booting pc with ubuntu installation cd inserted
[13:37] <Lartza> qin: Yes but was thinking how the server performs on HDD intensive tasks like torrents and streaming?
[13:37] <dyd> Felersurm: live session means to use "try ubuntu without installing"?
[13:37] <Felersurm> dyd: yes
[13:38] <dyd> Felersurm: okk
[13:38] <new> sigh
[13:38] <squig> so the only real differnce is the kernel timer? the rest can be changed through proc?
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> Lartza: transmission can be used headless too
[13:39] <qin> Lartza: Desktop gives you gui, which can only slow down yours or automatic tasks, server edition have superior hardware support.
[13:39] <squig> superior hardware support? its the same kernel
[13:40] <qin> squig: Really? Then it does not.
[13:41] <VectorX> hi, i got ubuntu installed in a vm, no gui only cli, how can i extend the disk space from the os itself, the vm is set to dynamic in virtualbox but its not expanding
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> VectorX: I'd ask in #vbox
[13:42] <VectorX> ActionParsnip ok
[13:42] <VectorX> i thought it was a ubuntu/linux question thought
[13:42] <woky> Hello. Is there any `easy' way to install ipw3945 driver in latest ubuntu (11.04) ?
[13:42] <plouffe> Why does the website still recommend the 32bit version downloads?
[13:43] <AcidRain> damn. i just got fired
[13:43] <Lartza> qin: Minimal install doesn't have GUI
[13:43] <Lartza> qin: Yet is desktop
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> VectorX: it kinda is but the vbox config needs tweaking so asking in #vbox as well is good
[13:44] <trinity9000> qin: A GUI doesn't affect server tasks very much at all... if you have 2GB of RAM or more, your desktop will be using a tiny amount, and likewise for CPU usage
[13:45] <qin> Lartza: Ok, you can run desktop with no gui too, what do you want to do?
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> trinity9000: it reduces security though as you are running more services
[13:45] <Lartza> qin: home server/NAS
[13:46] <qin> trinity9000: Maybe, but 200Mb of ram look precious on many machines.
[13:46] <squig> x11 servers are leaky/unstable huge bits of code that you dont want to run
[13:46] <Lartza> Currently have one it's Arch now but Ubuntu doesn't have so much updates that break it all the time :)
[13:46] <KommaH> Hey everyone! I'm having issue with the time drifting on a Xen VM running Ubuntu. I've installed ntp and ntpdate and told it to sync periodically (which it does), however, the time is still drifting...
[13:46] <squig> KommaH, does it ntpd stop running?
[13:47] <VectorX> ok so this is the answer i get from #vbox: [19:16] <JshWright> VectorX: that's not really a VBox specific thing... how would you expand any partition?
[13:47] <KommaH> squig: ntpd is still running.
[13:47] <KommaH> I think it updates the time hourly.
[13:47] <squig> do you have the command ntpq
[13:47] <KommaH> yes
[13:47] <qin> Lartza: Desktop edition have better configuration, even if you boot with no X. But pretty much it would not matter.
[13:47] <squig> can you show what ntpq -p says?
[13:48] <KommaH> squig: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/442809/
[13:48] <squig> KommaH, for some reason you havnt peered with that server
[13:48] <KommaH> :O
[13:49] <Lartza> qin: Was gonna get TurnKey first but it looks stupid, I'll try the Server edition out, can always change :)
[13:49] <squig> your offset might be to big
[13:49] <squig> is that ntp server local or on the internet?
[13:49] <KommaH> Ergh
[13:49] <KommaH> On the internet
[13:49] <squig> ok, you probably want to get a few more ntp servers
[13:49] <dyd> Felersurm: thank you, it's working now! :)
[13:49] <squig> ntp is pretty light weight
[13:50] <squig> there are the ntp pool servers
[13:50] <Lartza> squig: Offset too big?
[13:50] <billy2007> can i dual boot windows and ubuntu after ubunutu is installed
[13:50] <ParkerR> Woo go my layout setup http://cl.ly/3p00321i1z0q0a0L411p
[13:50] <Lartza> billy2007: Tricky but yes
[13:50] <squig> Lartza, when ntp starts if the offset it so large it will never start running the clock
[13:50] <squig> there is an option to ignore that
[13:51] <dsnyders> !dual
[13:51] <Lartza> squig: Hmm... Arch Linux probably has some stuff at init script to fix that "issue"
[13:51] <KommaH> How do I tell ntp to sync up with other servers? Is there a command, or do I just edit the config directly?
[13:51] <billy2007> Lartza, my assumtion was to resize the partition and install on the remaining free space would this work?
[13:51] <Lartza> KommaH: Edit config
[13:51] <squig> many linuxes will do an ntpdate -b ntpserver before starting ntpdate
[13:51] <squig> but it can also be bad to have a sudden shift
[13:52] <Lartza> billy2007: I forgot what widnows wants
[13:52] <Lartza> billy2007: I have my XP on second HDD, but on the beginning of it
[13:52] <Lartza> I think it has to be on the beginning
[13:52] <HackNewton> hi all
[13:52] <squig> KommaH, i know how to edit the config
[13:52] <billy2007> Lartza, i dont understand what you mean by what it wants
[13:52] <Pici> Lartza, billy2007: It doesn't matter which order the partitions are on.
[13:52] <dyd> how can i detect what processor i have installed?
[13:52] <squig> some thing like
[13:52] <Lartza> Pici: Oh yea, first booting :)
[13:52] <squig> server 0.uk.pool.ntp.org
[13:53] <squig> change uk to be your country code
[13:53] <Lartza> Pici: (Which can be fooled from grub)
[13:53] <Pici> billy2007: Its easier to have windows installed and then install Ubuntu, otherwise you'll need to setup grub yourself afterwards, which can be a pain.
[13:53] <KommaH> Do I need to stop the daemon first?
[13:53] <squig> KommaH, you will need to restart it after changing
[13:53] <KommaH> got it
[13:53] <Pici> !dualboot | billy2007
[13:54] <billy2007> Pici, does this still apply if its on a different partition and i format the empty one first
[13:54] <Lartza> Pici: I consider it a pain when my wndows install cd refused to boot when there were ext partitions
[13:54] <Pici> billy2007: yes.
[13:54] <Lartza> Pici: Also windows was going to format my LVM partitions even though I didn't tell it to and it saw them as some other type
[13:54] <Lartza> Pici: This was WinXP I hope Vista/7 work better...
[13:55] <trinity9000> Lartza: Pretty sure Windows still won't recognise LVM...
[13:55] <billy2007> is there a way to move all my settings and files to another ubuntu pc via ethernet cable?
[13:55] <Lartza> trinity9000: It saw it as some restore or recovery partition
[13:55] <KommaH> Alright. Thanks for the help, all!
[13:56] <Lartza> trinity9000: And started to format it even though I selected another partition for install, but failed the format
[13:56] <Lartza> trinity9000: And ext like I said made the install CD stuck at boot...
[13:56] <Lartza> Always installed windows first since then :)
[13:56] <trinity9000> Yes, I install Windows first too
[13:56] <AcidRain> Lartza: same thing happened to me
[13:56] <BlankVerse> hey guys , is there anything similar for linux http://cafbit.com/entry/rapid_dhcp_or_how_do
[13:56] <trinity9000> Less hassle
[13:56] <BlankVerse> my dhcp takes easily more than 5-10 secs
[13:56] <AcidRain> then i remember how foolish i was for even wanting anything to do with Windows
[13:57] <AcidRain> Windows, a word i now refer to as glass. dirty cheap broken glass
[13:57] <trinity9000> AcidRain: But what about games? ;)
[13:57] <AcidRain> trinity9000: eh...
[13:57] <AcidRain> i love games. but... is it worth it?
[13:57] <geekbri> does anybody have expierence with start-stop-daemon?  I have a working init script but anytime i try to add the --chuid flag to run it as a non root user, it just doesnt start (no errors).  I sudo'd as the user im running it as and was able to run it.
[13:57] <Lartza> trinity9000: Work in Linux, what I want to play :)
[13:57] <AcidRain> the pain and struggle to keep a windows box working properly?
[13:57] <AcidRain> oh my bad, glass
[13:57] <Lartza> Theme Hospital has gotten me past few days <3
[13:57] <trinity9000> I find Windows equally easy to maintain as Ubuntu
[13:58] <trinity9000> Doing some things is a lot easier
[13:58] <Lartza> AcidRain: DAMN OUTDATED SOFTWARE THAT DOESN'T AUTO-UPDATE
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> trinity9000: +1
[13:58] <Lartza> Bad choice of words...
[13:58] <AcidRain> lol Lartza: you talkinga bout win or linux?
[13:58] <Lartza> Windows
[13:58] <AcidRain> yeah true
[13:58] <Lartza> Have to update each damn software individually :D
[13:58] <AcidRain> Lartza: and even at that. im a little scared to use the win auto update, considering half the time i click on it, its actually a virus
[13:58] <Lartza> That keeps me in Linux and doesn't need anything else :)
[13:59] <Lartza> AcidRain: What auto-update? WINautoupdte.ru.bat.EXE?
[13:59] <AcidRain> lol
[13:59] <Lartza> Updates all your software at once!
[13:59] <Felersurm> actually completely without trolling... windows7 is quite nice
[14:00] <AcidRain> lol. i just live in fear when i had windows
[14:00] <qin> lol
[14:00] <AcidRain> now with linux im in the street talkin so much beef like im invincible
[14:00] <Lartza> Felersurm: Decent, my last offer!
[14:00] <Lartza> Not nice
[14:00] <Lartza> decent
[14:00] <Felersurm> ok i buy decent
[14:00] <AcidRain> with linux i laugh at exe's. they are the worse thing to ever happen to the bit
[14:01] <AcidRain> well... i cant really blame it all on exe
[14:01] <AcidRain> firewalls and avs are advance now. but the virus will always stay one step ahead
[14:01] <Lartza> Win7, failing windows updates and 32/64 programs that install to Program files (x86)
[14:01] <Lartza> I mean... what the ehck they were meant to be 64-bit too?!
[14:01] <Felersurm> C# is very decent too
[14:02] <Pici> !ot
[14:02]  * BluesKaj waits for the ot cops to show up
[14:02] <AcidRain> i showed my uncle a situation where i had a website pulled up on 2 machines. 1 linux, and 1 windows. the windows computer crashed on next boot.  linux stayed strong with no effects.
[14:02] <trinity9000> Yes, C# kicks ass
[14:02] <Lartza> BluesKaj: :D
[14:02] <Lasers> "It is now safe to turn your computer off"
[14:02] <AcidRain> since that day, he loves to go to all different types of sites and make fun of them
[14:02] <angawar> Cant figure it out how to rotate two of my screens, my setup contains of 22" - 24" - 22" and i need to rotate the two of the 22 screens first. Think someone could help me fast with that?
[14:02] <Pici> Ladies and Gentlemen, can we move the offtopic conversations to #ubuntu-offtopic or elsewhere?
[14:02] <Felersurm> Lartza: actually that is quite awesome beeing able to run 32bit binaries that easy
[14:02] <Pici> People are trying to get support ehre.
[14:02] <Pici> *here
[14:02] <Lartza> Felersurm: Yea but they were suppsoed to be 64-bit programs and they install to x86
[14:02] <Lartza> Felersurm: Well 32/64 both
[14:03] <Lartza> the installers
[14:03] <Lartza> say so
[14:03] <AcidRain> Pici: is our manager. back to the support!
[14:03] <Felersurm> okok i think we need to shutup about windows
[14:03] <angawar> What channel should I ask in then?
[14:03] <qin> #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:03] <AcidRain> angawar: what is your question?
[14:04] <qin> angawar: Sorry, you have a question, thats nice.
[14:04] <angawar> Dont know how to rotate two of my 22" screens in xorg.conf
[14:04] <AcidRain> i would ask in #x
[14:04] <AcidRain> ;)
[14:04] <trinity9000> angawar: What graphics card do you have?
[14:04] <Lartza> AcidRain: They don't spoonfeed :P
[14:04] <angawar> two Nvidia 9800 GT
[14:04] <Lartza> AcidRain: He wanted fast
[14:05] <Lartza> :)
[14:05] <AcidRain> lol. a previous win user new to linux. i understand
[14:05] <Lartza> Also there are not as many active users there :)
[14:05] <AcidRain> see here at #ubuntu we are understanding
[14:05] <dsnyders> angawar, By rotate, do you mean change the orientation from portrait to landscape?
[14:05] <Lartza> AcidRain: Who is? me? no
[14:05] <AcidRain> lol
[14:05] <Lartza> AcidRain: ahh
[14:06] <Lartza> AcidRain: angwar is, nobody has dual 9800GT if they use Linjux
[14:06] <Lartza> :P
[14:06] <angawar> hm, think it would be nice if the 22" screens are in portrait and the 24" in landscape(?)
[14:06] <dddbmt> Hi guys. I want to reinstall a computer with Windows XP instead of Ubuntu. But what ever I do I can't get to boot from the CD. I have CD as first priority boot in BIOS, and I've tried to start through the "Select boot device" menu.
[14:06] <angawar> if thats possible?
[14:06] <dddbmt> Is there a way to restart+boot from cd, from within ubuntu?=
[14:07] <Lartza> dddbmt: Not raelly, BIOS boots it so all you should need to do ise what you said
[14:07] <Lasers> dddbmt: You burned a bad Windows disc... Looks like it.
[14:07] <Lartza> dddbmt: Set CD to be first bootable and have a disc that boots
[14:07] <dddbmt> Lartza, Lasers: So it's a bad CD?
[14:08] <Lasers> dddbmt: It's a possibility.
[14:08] <Lasers> dddbmt: Bad CD, Bad ISO. It's not set to bootable, etc. is also possibilites.
[14:08] <dsnyders> dddbmt, try another bootable cd.
[14:08] <trinity9000> angawar: Are you using the NVIDIA proprietary graphics driver?
[14:08] <vendix> how to upgrade ubuntu 11.04
[14:08] <vendix> to 11.10?
[14:09] <angawar> Yeah think so
[14:09] <Pici> vendix: See the topic in #ubuntu+1
[14:09] <Lasers> angawar: Did you look at Nvidia Settings under System/Preferences after you enabled the driver?
[14:09] <angawar> yeah
[14:10] <Lasers> angawar: You should be able to generate xorg.conf from there -- then modify it to your likings.
[14:10] <trinity9000> I thought there was an option to set Rotation in the Nvidia control panel
[14:10] <trinity9000> Not at home at the moment to look
[14:10] <vendix> Pici: i see the few url's
[14:10] <vendix> :)
[14:10] <angawar> I have done this so far, but i dont know how to rotate just those two screens?
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> vendix: sudo do-release-upgrade -d     It will more than likely break stuff, your call
[14:11] <dddbmt> Lasers, dsnyders: I told them to try another CD, thanks for your time!
[14:12] <new> I have to create a new user because my Xubuntu windows (edges of the screen) dissapear so that I cant move any opened stuff around the screen
[14:12] <Guest80157> So this Room is All About Ubuntu?
[14:12] <new> this happens just after week or so
[14:12] <new> well, ubuntu is all about everything ;)
[14:13] <douf-nufem> just wanted to drop back in and say thanks
[14:13] <douf-nufem> things worked perfectly
[14:13] <new> np mate
[14:13] <new> ..(lol, I wasn't the one who helped)
[14:13] <Pici> Guest80157: This is the official support channel of Ubuntu.
[14:15] <billy2007> is 10.10 the newest ubuntu install?? and if not can i still use the live cd to install grub after installing windows
[14:15] <Lasers> angawar: With some Google, I find http://tuxtweaks.com/2010/05/ubuntu-enable-rotation-nvidia/ -- I'm trying to find a solution (I don't have three monitors!)
[14:16] <HackNewton> billy2007, no newest Ubuntu is 11.04 Natty
[14:16] <billy2007> HackNewton, could i still use the grub off of the live cd to install the bootloader
[14:17] <trinity9000> billy2007: Ubuntu has a new version every 6 months, the version refers to the year/month
[14:17] <billy2007> ihave the newest version i just couldnt remember the numbers
[14:17] <angawar> Nice, it works... :)
[14:17] <angawar> But why cant I drag windows across screens?
[14:17] <angawar> hehe
[14:17] <HackNewton> billy2007, yes you can install grub later after installing windows but it is not recommanded as this is pain
[14:17] <brandon_> hello guys.
[14:18] <freckledp> Has anyone ever converted .swf movies to .mov with Ubuntu? I can use ffmpeg to go the other way, but swf > mov doesn't work :(. Suggestions?
[14:18] <billy2007> HackNewton, can i do it off of a 10.10 live cd whebi i have 11.04 installed
[14:18] <HackNewton> billy2007, yes
[14:18] <brandon_> I have 2 quick questions. First of all, is there a way to reorder my grub options so that win 7 is selected first instead of ubuntu?
[14:18] <HackNewton> billy2007, grub version hardly matters
[14:19] <HackNewton> brandon_, yes there is you just have to edit your grub.conf file
[14:19] <brandon_> HackNewton, where is that located?
[14:20] <Guest80157> Is this is Like The not line For Linux
[14:20] <HackNewton> brandon_, /etc/grub.conf
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> brandon_: yes
[14:20] <Guest80157> hotline For linux
[14:21] <brandon_> HackNewton, thank you.
[14:21] <HackNewton> brandon_, just make sure you edit it correctly or your grub may get down
[14:21] <HackNewton> brandon_, you are welcome
[14:21] <douf-nufem> HackNewton... is that like jail breaking an ipod?
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> brandon_: sudo mv 30_os-prober 08_os-prober; sudo update-grub
[14:22] <HackNewton> douf-nufem, lol no !
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> brandon_: you'll need to run:  cd /etc/grub.d    first
[14:22] <brandon_> My second question is regarding an update. I am on 10.10 right now and to get my external wireless adapter to work and had to manually compile and install a driver. What i want to know is if I update to 11.04 will I have to re-do all that driver stuff? And is it even gauranteed to work on the update?
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> brandon_: more than likely yes
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> brandon_: you may have to recompile if the new kernel doesn't support your wifi hardware
[14:23] <HackNewton> brandon_, Surely yes! its sad but no other option
[14:24] <brandon_> Actionparsnip, what exactly does the update change? Like my desktop and all files will remain as is right? And the kernel already update to the newest version and i had to re-do driver. So i should be good then if kernel is already up to date?
[14:25] <HackNewton> Bye have nice day all
[14:25] <HackNewton> :D
[14:26] <lafon> anyway I can get the synaptic download scripts to work in win7?
[14:26] <brandon_> ActionParsnip, I guess what i mean to ask is what exactly does 11.04 Update when it updates? which folders and stuff.
[14:29] <brandon_> 2.6.35-30 is most upto date kernel correct?
[14:29] <martin`> Hi, I get internet from usb and would like to share it wirelessly to a mac. Tried Wireless Ad-Hoc connection sharing scenario from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing#GUI%20Method%20via%20Network%20Manager%20%28Ubuntu%209.10%20and%20up%29 but didn't work.
[14:29] <dnivra> hello. I have a socks proxy running on localhost. how do I specify the proxy to a terminal?
[14:30] <martin`> I tried to do the same in different machines using Lucid, Natty and Oneiric. No success.
[14:31] <trinity9000> brandon_: No, version 3 would be the latest
[14:31] <martin`> Is there an easy way to do this?
[14:32] <squig> martin`,  I dont know if there is an 'easy' way
[14:32] <squig> but what didnt work?
[14:32] <Medjai> has anyone tried to "make" a binary who's source uses #include <QtCrypto>?
[14:32] <Medjai> I have the package libqca2 installed and QtCrypto is present in /urs/include/
[14:32] <Medjai> but when i try to make I get the error that it doesn't exist WTF is that all about?
[14:32] <brandon_> trinity9000, do i have to be on 11.04 to have it? Cause im on 10.10 and it just updated
[14:33] <Pici> Medjai: Do you have the coorisponding -dev package installed as well?
[14:33] <martin`> I don't find the ssid in mac
[14:33] <Medjai> yeah it's only a dev package that i need correct
[14:33] <martin`> nor my phone
[14:33] <Medjai> or is the regular one needed?
[14:33] <Pici> Medjai: The -dev usually depends on the regular one, so you might as well keep it installed.
[14:33] <Medjai> eh well either way i have both packages it seems like
[14:34] <Medjai> so i'm not sure why i'm having compiling errors
[14:34] <martin`> I remember being able to do it in another computer, I remember choosing Infrastructure instead of ad-hoc. But I am not sure
[14:34] <Medjai> Pici, any clue?
[14:35] <trinity9000> brandon_: I don't think 11.04 has the latest kernel either. Ubuntu only does incremental upgrades of the kernel once it's stable, it won't jump to a big new version (for stability reasons)
[14:35] <Pici> Medjai: can you pastebin the exact erros that you're getting?
[14:35] <Medjai> sure 1 sec
[14:36] <brandon_> trinity9000, well what should i be operating on is there a huge difference?
[14:37] <martin`> squig: what would the difficult way be?
[14:37] <trinity9000> brandon_: Most additions to a kernel are to do with drivers these days. There aren't often major new features/speedups for a couple of years.
[14:37] <squig> martin`, thats the one bit I dont know how to do, I would just make an adhoc network via the ui?
[14:38] <Medjai> Hey Pici, here's the pastebin of the error
[14:38] <Medjai> http://pastebin.com/JRMvZjiL
[14:38] <brandon_> trinity9000, ok. If i had to manually compile/install a driver to get my usb wireless internet to work, and i update to 11.04, well it be broken?
[14:39] <martin`> squig: no success. I tried different encryption possibilities, also no encryption... but nothing.
[14:39] <squig> can you make the network on your mac and then connect with linux?
[14:40] <Pici> Medjai: Okay, give me a minute.
[14:40] <Medjai> sure thing
[14:40] <trinity9000> brandon_: Not necessarily, I suggest reading this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[14:40] <martin`> squig: sure. but I get internet from an Android phone, and there is no easy way of doing it from a mac
[14:41] <squig> martian_, making an adhoc network?
[14:41] <squig> tis easy
[14:41] <martin`> squig: unless you use the phone as a wifi hotspot... which I don't want to do. I want ubuntu to be the wifi hotspot
[14:41] <austinbv> I am trying to get a bonjour service running on ubuntu but cannot find anything current on the web about ubuntu and bonjour
[14:41] <austinbv> I was wondering if anyone here could point me in the right direction
[14:41] <squig> martin`, its an add hock network, just create one and then have them all join it
[14:42] <dr-willis> some chipsets for wireless i think dint have adhoc network support under ubuntu
[14:42] <squig> adhoc != infrastucture
[14:42] <jimmy51_> when installing the upgrade to 11.04 i got an error saying it could not install initramfs-tools.  i see bugs listed all over and am wondering what to do next...
[14:43] <jimmy51_> https://launchpad.net/bugs/789722
[14:43] <trinity9000> austinbv: avahi implements zeroconf like bonjour, use that
[14:43] <austinbv> that's what I have done
[14:43] <martin`> squig: I set the adhoc wireless network correctly but I cannot see it in the mac. dr-willis: how can I know if my chipset does not support it?
[14:44] <dr-willis> martin`: forums perhaps.
[14:45] <squig> martin`, its adhoc just make the first one on your mac and try and connect to it?
[14:45] <squig> once you get wireless connected you can configure ip/route/dns differently
[14:46] <jimmy51_> i need a package management ninja.  initramfs-tools screwed up during the 11.04 upgrade and now my system is not happy.
[14:47] <martin`> squig: so do you mean I should create a wireless computer connection from the mac and then connect to it from ubuntu? Then I could change settings so that ubuntu shares internet?
[14:47] <billy2007> how do i know wether i need the gnome partition editior or the kde one
[14:47] <bovv> Hi!  I am trying to find a free  image hosting site.  No registration like pastebin.  (pastebin only supports text, no?)  Ideas?
[14:47] <iceroot> bovv: #ubuntu-offtopic, google
[14:47] <AcidRain> bovv: what type of images?
[14:48] <iceroot> !image | bovv
[14:48] <AcidRain> !image | me
[14:48] <iceroot> !screenshots | bovv
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> bovv: imageshack
[14:48] <bovv> jpg...  I need to have it stored without any conversions or resizings occcuring.
[14:48] <rgb247> hi to everyone
[14:48] <squig> martian_, well you said your phone has the internet connection
[14:48] <rgb247> anyone can help me with command to switch user from root in terminal ?
[14:48] <AcidRain> bovv: why not setup your own site?
[14:49] <bovv> But I need to do it w/o registration like pastebin.
[14:49] <AcidRain> that would be the quickest easiest way
[14:49] <bovv> Yes!
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> bovv: yes, imageshack
[14:49] <bovv> That's it!
[14:49] <AcidRain> bovv: i tried to pm you, but you ignored it >_>
[14:49] <billy2007> how do i know wether i need the gnome partition editior or the kde one
[14:49] <bovv> And if I needed to post the binary lib.so can I use that same service?
[14:50] <bovv> ?
[14:50] <rgb247> anyone can help me with command to switch user from root in terminal ?
[14:50] <AcidRain> what binary?
[14:50] <iceroot> rgb247: can you be more specific?
[14:50] <bovv> @AcidRain: sorry... didn't see it... I see it now.  I will go there now.
[14:50] <guest1> Hello
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> rgb247: su username
[14:51] <rgb247> iceroot: after I typed sudo su and write the password, I'm logged as root, how can I go back to my user
[14:51] <guest1> Can anyone help me with an ubuntu 11.04 install?
[14:51] <rgb247> thanks you
[14:51] <iceroot> rgb247: exit
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> rgb247: ahhh then you want:  exit
[14:51] <billy2007> how do i know wether i need the gnome partition editior or the kde one
[14:51] <iceroot> rgb247: dong use sudo su
[14:51] <trinity9000> billy2007: They use the same underlying tools, it's just a different GUI
[14:51] <iceroot> rgb247: also use "su - username" instead of "su username"
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> billy2007: which desktop do you use?
[14:51] <rgb247> thanks you
[14:52] <billy2007> ActionParsnip, unity
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> billy2007: it's gnome, unity isn't a desktop
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> billy2007: use the gnome one
[14:52] <billy2007> ActionParsnip, thanks
[14:53] <billy2007> i dont plan to install anything else onto ubuntu whats a good amount of disk space to leave on the partition for it to run?
[14:54] <KM0201> billy2007: if you don't plan on installing much, 12-15gigs is pretty good.. the OS will take up a little over 3 or so, w/ the base install
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> billy2007: about 6Gb is plenty
[14:55] <KM0201> 6?
[14:55] <KM0201> i dunno bout that one, have to disagree w/ you there ActionParsnip :)
[14:55] <guest1> 10GB is useful if you update the whole system
[14:56] <billy2007> when i right click in g-parted i dont get the resize option?
[14:56] <guest1> can anyone help with an uncompleted install after it crashed?
[14:56] <guest1> i have no user to log in
[14:56] <trinity9000> teatea
[14:57] <guest1> How can I create a user without log in??
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> billy2007: is the partition mounted?
[14:57] <AcidRain> guest1: adduser name
[14:57] <guest1> but I can't log in
[14:57] <dr-willis>  guest1 a user to do what?
[14:57] <billy2007> ActionParsnip, yes its the one im using i get the option to unmount
[14:57] <guest1> AcidRain: does it work from a live cd?
[14:58] <dr-willis> guest1 why cant you login
[14:58] <guest1> I have a complete installation, i have grub, but I dont have any user! :D
[14:58] <danileigh79-2> i'm reformatting my ext4 that currently has 11.04 on it so I can put 10.04 back on, I'm using live CD installer, whait do I put as the mount point?
[14:58] <AcidRain> guest1: i dont see why it wouldnt
[14:58] <guest1> the installer crashed at the very end of install
[14:59] <martin`> squig: so I have a computer-to-computer adhoc connection now. Should I just put Shared to other computers in IPv4 settings and that's it?
[14:59] <AcidRain> guest1: i would burn a new copy, and try not to scratch the disk.
[14:59] <martin`> (in the ubuntu machine)
[14:59] <dyd> guys what happens if i disconnect my sata cable connected to cdrom drive when pc is not turned off?
[14:59] <squig> martin`, try it at least
[14:59] <billy2007> dyd nothing
[14:59] <AcidRain> dyd: you should never work on a comp when it is on.
[14:59] <dyd> i need it but i don't want to turn it of
[14:59] <dr-willis> thats weird...  i sould suggest reinstalling then guest1  there may be other things broken
[14:59] <martin`> oh
[14:59] <dyd> :D
[15:00] <guest1> Acid: the disk in intact, verification is OK
[15:00] <billy2007> AcidRain, ive done it thousands of times its plugging them back in you dont want to do
[15:00] <AcidRain> billy2007: lol. well i do it as well ;)
[15:00] <guest1> But the 11.04 installer fails before completing...
[15:00] <AcidRain> just for the sake of someone disliking me because i gave them bad advise, i would say turn it off, and remove any static charge
[15:00] <martin`> squig: it gave an IP address. now internet is either slow or not working...
[15:01] <martin`> squig: not working it seems
[15:01] <squig> martin`, what has internet?
[15:01] <danileigh79-2> I have 11.04, wanna go back to 9.10 (since that's the only install disc I have) how do I go about this?
[15:01] <squig> and what doesnt
[15:01] <dyd> rofl, crashed
[15:01] <AcidRain> squig: what is he trying to do?
[15:02] <martin`> ubuntu has internet, mac has no internet.
[15:02] <AcidRain> dyd: lol. told you :P
[15:02] <Lartza> streaming music to 360 and video to android(allshare, should be dlna)
[15:02] <Lartza> what software?
[15:02] <dyd> AcidRain: well now i know :D
[15:02] <AcidRain> :P
[15:02] <dr-willis> Daniel0108: boot cd.. reformat/reinstall
[15:02] <AcidRain> did any sparks fly?
[15:02] <squig> martin`, does the mac have an IP, can it ping the ubuntu box, does it have a default route?
[15:02] <billy2007> ActionParsnip, yes its the one im using i get the option to unmount
[15:03] <Lartza> WEbmin doesn't use an existing webserver? :O
[15:03] <dr-willis> Lartza:  theses several dnla servers out there. mediatomb is one
[15:03] <danileigh79-2> dr-willis, I'm trying but I also have Win XP installed siide-by-side, don't wanna screw up windows
[15:03] <dr-willis> Lartza:  no it dosent.. but webmin is not good to use on ubuntu
[15:03] <KM0201> martin`: im' headin out californ'y way, silicon valley, i hear there might be some internet out there (you'll get the joke if you've saw the episode)
[15:03] <AlecTaylor> hi
[15:03] <AcidRain> Lartza: what are you trying to setup?
[15:03] <AlecTaylor> I'm running a Linux distro (Ubuntu 11.04) and want to play wma within browser (not inside a new tab or save-as & play in movie player). I've tried in Firefox, Chrome & Opera, none worked. Is there a special plugin I should install?
[15:03] <GopalK> Hi all, I'm trying to run the latest Eclipse CDT on 11.04 and its crashing continuously. Anyone else facing the same issue?
[15:03] <martin`> squig: Airport is connected to xxx and has the IP address etc...
[15:04] <Lartza> dr-willis: No 360 support on mediatomb, by google
[15:04] <Lartza> AcidRain: Home server/NAS
[15:04] <AcidRain> interesting
[15:04] <Lartza> AcidRain: Could be ssh-only too though liked the idea of having webmin
[15:04] <AcidRain> as much as i would like to buy a new box and set one up with you, i have been terminated lol
[15:04] <martin`> KM0201: didn't watch...
[15:04] <Lartza> Once tried it and failed horribly but was a newbie back then :)
[15:04] <dr-willis> !info ebox
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> AlecTaylor: i'd check the firefox addons page, or chrome extensions
[15:04] <KM0201> martin`: it was a classic.
[15:04] <billy2007> if ionly have one bootable partition covering the whole drive can i edit it while using it i.e resize it
[15:04] <AcidRain> yeah thats what i dont like about xine, no gui for the android
[15:05] <AcidRain> was thinking about making one though
[15:05] <dr-willis> billy2007:  not while in use
[15:05] <Lartza> dr-willis: hmm, last I checked ebox was like turnkey linux?
[15:05] <AcidRain> just a few simple buttons for play and stop and volume control
[15:05] <KM0201> billy2007: no, it has to be unmounted (thus not in use) to be resized
[15:05] <dr-willis> !ebox
[15:05] <Lartza> dr-willis: Easy install "stacks" like lamp
[15:06] <guest1> can anyone add users by editing FILES in the SYSTEM?
[15:06] <squig> martin`, can you ping the ubuntu machine?
[15:06] <AlexDevilLX> Hi all, how to setup joystick?
[15:06] <dr-willis> guest1:  boot live cd, chroot in, use adduser command..
[15:06] <guest1> chroot?
[15:06] <nyuszika7h> guest1: You could edit /etc/passwd, but using `adduser' (or `useradd') is preferred.
[15:07] <martin`> squig: should I open a terminal and write ping "hostname"?
[15:07] <squig> martin`, ping its ip address
[15:07] <dr-willis> yes. you chroot inti the installed system, and use adduser.  or use the recovery/single use mode  which mey be easier
[15:07] <guest1> nyuszika: köszi, can I add user from a live cd system to an existing one on SDA?
[15:07] <Lartza> dr-willis: Thanks, editing my planing notebook
[15:08] <nyuszika7h> guest1: no clue, but no need to talk in Hungarian to me, I understand English.
[15:08] <dr-willis> guest1 i  suprised the system even boots correctly after the installer crashed
[15:08] <Lartza> still need an identd, 360/android streamer and...
[15:08] <Lartza> ahh, some way to have encrypted folder/files?
[15:08] <martin`> squig: what is the command for knowing my ip?
[15:08] <squig> on ubuntu type ifconfig
[15:08] <dr-willis> Lartza:  why do you need an identd?
[15:08] <Lartza> But one that could be shared on samba/nfs? So it is encrypted but unencrypted on boot, something like that
[15:08] <guest1> I installed grub and only the final touches are missing
[15:08] <Lartza> dr-willis: IRC
[15:08] <Lartza> dr-willis: Obviously?
[15:08] <[THC]AcidRain> why does my box ping timeout so much?
[15:09] <dr-willis> Lartza:  havcent needd identd for irc in 15 years here
[15:09] <nyuszika7h> !info ccrypt
[15:09] <guest1> nyuszika: then it's an interesting name :D
[15:09] <Lartza> dr-willis: ircnet it cuts out like a minute from conenction time and freenode some too
[15:09] <Lartza> dr-willis: This ebox, does it use a webserver?
[15:09] <Lartza> cant really verify
[15:09] <kubanc> http://www.amazon.co.uk/IOMAX-SATA-Adapter-Power-Drive/dp/B001A5SK56
[15:10] <dr-willis> Lartza:  never needed it here.. i connect almost instantly to freenode .
[15:10] <AlexDevilLX> ubuntu joystick gembird JPD-FFB-M
[15:10] <kubanc> hellow! do you maybe know if linux kernel supports USB/IDE-SATA connector? something like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/IOMAX-SATA-Adapter-Power-Drive/dp/B001A5SK56
[15:10] <nyuszika7h> guest1: if you want to hilight me, please either use 'nyu', 'nyus' or 'nyuszika7h', since 'nyuszika' doesn't hilight me. And this isn't an off-topic channel, see #ubuntu-offtopic for off-topic chat.
[15:10] <dr-willis> ebox has its own webserver i belive
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> kubanc: should be fine
[15:10] <AlecTaylor> Okay, testing that and sudo apt-get install gecko-mediaplayer, will disconnect (and not reconnect unless problem) using ChatZilla
[15:11] <kubanc> ActionParsnip, thnx for reply
[15:11] <martin`> squig: should I get it from wlan0?
[15:11] <squig> yes
[15:11] <martin`> squig: is it inet addr?
[15:11] <squig> yes
[15:12] <martin`> request timeout. Maybe I can start again...
[15:12] <guest1> @nyu okay, I try the chroot
[15:12] <martin`> I guess it is a bad sign squig?
[15:12] <squig> martian_, pastebin your ifconfig
[15:12] <dr-willis> guest1:  you did try recovery mode from the grub menus
[15:13] <guest1> not yet, should I?
[15:13] <dr-willis> guest1:  saves the chrooting step.. so yes
[15:13] <guest1> thx, i try it
[15:13] <dr-willis> if you can boot system to a shell. you then use adduser
[15:14] <dr-willis> and hope nothing else is broke
[15:14] <danileigh79-2> how do i reformat only ubuntu if i'm running winxp side-by-side so i don't reformat winxp also?
[15:14] <martin`> http://pastebin.com/3fcJi1fP
[15:14] <dr-willis> danileigh79-2:  you reuse your existing ubuntu partitions.
[15:14] <nyuszika7h> danileigh79-2: You can format or delete Ubuntu's partition, then use fixboot and fixmbr from Windows XP's boot CD (choose Recovery Console).
[15:14] <squig> martin`,  you need to ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:15] <dr-willis> tell installer to use them for / and /home is needed
[15:15] <martin`> yep, that is what I did. I will try to connect them again.
[15:16] <danileigh79-2> nyuszika7h, I'm using the 9.10 boot cd, how do I use the existing partitions?
[15:16] <dr-willis> i thought the ubuntu installer asked to use existing.. or not
[15:16] <nyuszika7h> danileigh79-2: Sorry, I'm busy now, please ask someone else.
[15:17] <dr-willis> or resize.. or use the custome feature
[15:17] <KM0201> dr-willis: i don't think 9.10 did.. i don't recall that coming around till 10.04, or 10.10
[15:17] <xangua> danileigh79-2: install a supported version ;)
[15:17] <dr-willis> i always use the custome  option
[15:17] <KM0201> dr-willis: ssame
[15:17] <dr-willis> !9.10
[15:17] <AlexDevilLX> Hi
[15:17] <AlexDevilLX> I have
[15:17] <danileigh79-2> dr-willis, it gives option of side by side, erase and use entire disk, or partiotion manually
[15:18] <martin`> squig: okay no there are bytes
[15:18] <dr-willis> 9.10 is eol. time to upgrsde
[15:18] <KM0201> danileigh79-2: why are you trying to installan unsupported version
[15:18] <ssedano> hi
[15:18] <danileigh79-2> xangua, i'm going back to 9.10 so i can upgrade to 10.04 again
[15:18] <dr-willis> danileigh79-2:  so use manual..
[15:18] <martin`> squig: I mean NOW
[15:18] <ssedano> how can I know if the system rebooted or was resumed? thanks
[15:18] <mang0> How do I change the defult email client? Is there a terminal command?
[15:18] <danileigh79-2> dr-willis, I don't know how to set up the partitions
[15:18] <dr-willis> danileigh79-2:  10.04 fails to boot?
[15:18] <martin`> squig: and there is internet!!!
[15:18] <squig> aah
[15:18] <squig> awesome
[15:18] <martin`> thanks a lot!
[15:19] <xangua> mang0: on Preffered Apps
[15:19] <dr-willis> danileigh79-2:  use / for your main partition.  thats about all you do
[15:19] <mang0> xangua: thankyou
[15:19] <danileigh79-2> dr-willis, No, I up'd from 10.10 to 11.04, but now wifi card no longer suppoerted
[15:19] <martin`> squig: can I connect a second computer also here?
[15:19] <tasse> hallo
[15:19] <KM0201> danileigh79-2: whats your wifi card...
[15:19] <squig> martin`, possibly :)
[15:19] <AlexDevilLX> Any way to map joystick in ubuntu
[15:20] <dr-willis> danileigh79-2:  better to install 10.10 directly id say. then upgrade
[15:20] <martin`> squig: let's see if my phone finds it
[15:20] <danileigh79-2> KM0201, broadcom 4300 series
[15:20] <KM0201> danileigh79-2: those work fine w/ ubuntu...
[15:20] <KM0201> and 11.04, for that matter
[15:20] <dr-willis> danileigh79-2:  a clean install of 11.04 may work with the card
[15:20] <the_fool> How can I change my twofinger click back to a middle button click?
[15:21] <slipkid08> what's up all
[15:21] <danileigh79-2> KM0201, did with 10.04 but now when i'm in 11.04, it can't locate any wifi networks, it says driver is good and working, but won't even list wirelesss options in network properties
[15:21] <Lartza> EncFS for encrypted files?
[15:21] <KM0201> danileigh79-2: then there is some other issue going on.. which broadcom do you have?
[15:22] <martin`> squig: maybe android phones cannot see adhoc connections. Happy anyway.
[15:22] <martin`> Thanks!!!
[15:22] <danileigh79-2> KM0201, 4311 I think
[15:22] <obeyance> Im back, and omg i need help.
[15:22] <climbe2> Problem!  If anyone is able to help.... running 10.04, recently upgraded to kernel 2.6.32-33, and can't boot up!!  See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1807978 for my ongoing thread.  Any suggestions?!?!
[15:22] <dr-willis> Lartza:  thats one way
[15:22] <dr-willis> !encrypt
[15:22] <KM0201> danileigh79-2: i know, that one works,  helped someone set it up yesterday....
[15:22] <obeyance> coz_ you still here?
[15:22] <obeyance> =(
[15:22] <danileigh79-2> KM0201, would you mind helping me then? I'll hook that laptop up to hardline
[15:22] <obeyance> ActionParsnip, you still around?
[15:23] <Lartza> martin`: I think android can't do ad-hoc, without edits
[15:23] <KM0201> danileigh79-2: yeah, hang on just a second
[15:23] <Lartza> dr-willis: Encryption usually works in a way the files can be shared with samba for instance when mounted?
[15:23] <Lartza> Unencrypted
[15:23] <obeyance> I just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 and the GUI is screwed up.
[15:24] <martin`> Lartza: you mean to be root, etc?
[15:24] <dr-willis> Lartza:  my phone could to windows.. but not to the older ubntun release. but could with a newer release.. i think.
[15:24] <Lartza> martin`: wpasupplicant needs patching on android
[15:24] <dr-willis> Lartza:  if mounted befor access it should. i never bother with encryption
[15:24] <obeyance> I cant move any windows, dont have any menu/task bars or anything. Just my desktop icons and background.
[15:25] <the_fool> quick question; after some recent updates my twofinger trackpad click now acts as a right click rather than a middle / scroll wheel click, how can I go about changing it back?
[15:25] <Lartza> martin`: Atleast some phones
[15:25] <dr-willis> obeyance:  try alt-f2  run metacity --replace
[15:25] <danileigh79-2> KM0201, 11.04 booted and plugged in manually to modem
[15:25] <KM0201> danileigh79-2: ok, hang on just a sec
[15:25] <Lartza> martin`: My Galaxy S has to be patched for Ad-Hoc to work for example and there are others too
[15:25] <obeyance> what does alt f2 do, because the hotkey is doing nothing.
[15:26] <Lartza> martin`: Google "your phone ad-hoc"
[15:26] <Lartza> possibly add "patch" to the query
[15:26] <obeyance> dr-willis, What does that do? I execute the hotkey but nothing happens.
[15:26] <Lartza> martin`: Also 2.1 seems not to support ad-hoc
[15:27] <dr-willis> obeyance:  should get you a run dialog.. unless gnome really crashed bad
[15:27] <martin`> Lartza: thanks, it was just for the record. My phone is actually used as a usb dongle
[15:27] <obeyance> Gnome? WHERE!
[15:27] <Lartza> martin`: I never got that to work on Arch :(
[15:27] <obeyance> heh
[15:27] <obeyance> Yeah, no GUI
[15:27] <obeyance> well, no OS GUI
[15:27] <Lartza> martin`: dmesg didn't even tell it recognized a USB device so weird :O
[15:27] <szad> Guys, how can i view windows share on ubuntu? I have samba installed, going into "Web" thing but i cant get connected - on windows everything is working so web is fine.
[15:27] <Lartza> martin`: For now my cable has become a lot more stable though :)
[15:27] <obeyance> When i restart it gives me a grub screen with a list of OS options...
[15:28] <szad> I am running ad-hoc laptop - PC comp web
[15:28] <martin`> Lartza: what is dmesg?
[15:28] <Lartza> martin`: It prints out kernel messages
[15:28] <danileigh79-2> KM0201, btw I have it set to run gnome in 11.04 instead of unity if that helps
[15:28] <dr-willis> szad:  web? use the places menu item
[15:28] <lipinski> Anyone can help me get reconnected to a remote ubuntu machine?
[15:28] <Lartza> martin`: Like devices that were detected and drivers yelling something
[15:28] <obeyance> dr-willis, Do you think my update went bad? How do i fix this?
[15:28] <lipinski> I had XRDP working with Vino so I could connect remotely via Win Remote Desktop.
[15:28] <Lartza> martin`: Try it :)
[15:28] <KM0201> danileigh79-2: thats

[15:29] <KM0201> danileigh79-2: ok,go to system/admin/additional drivers
[15:29] <danileigh79-2> KM0201, there
[15:29] <KM0201> danileigh79-2: if the STA driver is activated, deactivate it
[15:29] <dr-willis> obeyance: sounds line compiz crashed to me
[15:29] <szad> dr-willis, places?
[15:29] <KM0201> danileigh79-2: do you see "b43" there?

[15:29] <climbe2> are there other #ubuntu channels for specific issues?
[15:29] <dyd> how can i change the inactivity time that will bring to set screensaver + ask password?
[15:29] <dr-willis> szad:  yes. the file manager has a places item that has a netwoek entry
[15:29] <KM0201> danileigh79-2: thats fine, were not gonna use it anyway
[15:30] <dr-willis> szad:  or just type in the url
[15:30] <[THC]AcidRain> dyd: system > admin > screensaver
[15:30] <danileigh79-2> KM0201, kk, removing as we speak
[15:30] <[THC]AcidRain> dyd: my bad, system > preferences > screensaver
[15:30] <KM0201> danileigh79-2: now one thing i did have an issue w/ yesterday, was the broadcom package from synaptic, did not work.

[15:32] <obeyance> dr-willis, oh... Hm. I tried to turn on desktop cube because it turned it off durring the upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04. It ask me a question about OpenGL or Desktop Cube or something to the effect of that... I could not read the question as the window was outside of the screen and only the choices were showing below the top of the screen. I dont remember what choices i made, but i made it so Desktop Cube and Rotate Cube where on... then it all went to s

[15:32] <danileigh79-2> KM0201, done, opening update manager
[15:33] <szad> dr-willis, it says getting list of shares from the server failed. Please take another file manager and try again
[15:33] <dr-willis> obeyance:  with unity.. forget the cube ever existed..... ;)  it breaks things
[15:33] <KM0201> danileigh79-2: can i PM you, the signal/noise ratio makes this difficult.
[15:33] <danileigh79-2> KM0201, of course my dear
[15:33] <szad> dr-willis, comunicate is translated by me so there may be some mistakes.
[15:33] <obeyance> Oh that sucks!
[15:33] <obeyance> I liked the cube ....

[15:37] <obeyance> dr-willis, Sucks. I cant be here and have a page open cause i cant move or change windows without directly clicking on them.
[15:37] <Lartza> martin`: Why are you sending those? :D

[15:38] <[THC]AcidRain> what channel would i join for torrent help?
[15:38] <dr-willis> obeyance:  go to console, install icewm, or make a new user.
[15:38] <martin`> Lartza: FYI, htc legend (android 2.3), ubuntu oneiric (however I had it working as USB dongle also in opensuse 11.4 and ubuntu lucid and natty)

[15:39] <Ziga_L> it is not listed on unetubootin
[15:39] <Lartza> martin`: Yea Galaxy S should work as dongle too, but just couldn't get it to work in Arch, probably removed the kernel module :P
[15:39] <Pici> martin`: Oneiric is not supported in this channe, only in #ubuntu+1
[15:39] <obeyance> dr-willis, No i understand. Im working on it. Is the terminal command fairly direct?
[15:39] <martin`> Lartza: Pici, thanks
[15:39] <martin`> I mean thanks Pici
[15:39] <szad> dr-willis, how can i check if samba is even running?
[15:40] <guest1> dr-willis , nyuszika7h: win, i'll blog it. Thank you very much!
[15:40] <[THC]AcidRain> sometimes ill get a 404 not found, then it will start downloading after that shortly

[15:41] <szad> dr-willis, i installed it
[15:42] <dr-willis> obeyance:  huh. icewm is an alternative desktop/window manager i use as a fallback

[15:48] <Lartza> obeyance: add to .xinitrc, startx
[15:48] <Lartza> climbe2: Recompile kernel? Did you compile it yourself?
[15:49] <XuMuK> hi there! I've created a command for get processor Tº(echo " CPU temp is $(sensors | grep temp | awk '{print $2}')") and want to put it as alias, but when I do alias='echo " Температура камня $(sensors | grep temp | awk '{print $2}')"' I get parse erro...
[15:49] <obeyance> Lartza, What?
[15:49] <Lartza> obeyance: edit your .xinitrc on $HOME
[15:49] <Rigin> does ansi c++ works on ubuntu
[15:49] <XuMuK> any suggestion how should I put ' , " and ` ?
[15:49] <climbe2> Oh gosh no, I'm new to all of this...did an automatic update, shut computer off for the night.  booted up next morning, couldn't get anywhere
... heh.. russian )
[15:49] <Lartza> obeyance: You shuld add a command that runs icewm, starticewm possibly? Then run startx or login with a login manager
[15:49] <obeyance> Lartza, Im fairly new to linux but im catching on to ubuntu quickly. I dont know how to do what you are suggesting.
[15:49] <Lartza> climbe2: Oh then...
[15:50] <Lartza> obeyance: Actually there might be a way to change gnome to use icewm, someone help him
[15:50] <Lartza> obeyance: Not sure what you want
[15:50] <PlutoISaPlanet> how do i access a usb mounted flash drive once it's been mounted?
[15:50] <Lartza> Pure IceWM or what?
[15:50] <XuMuK> cad, I've changed it in brackets for you understanding)
[15:50] <[THC]AcidRain> so can anyone tell me how to modify the repo list from terminal without opening the file?
[15:50] <Lartza> PlutoISaPlanet: Nautilus left bar or go to mountpoint, automount should be /media
[15:50] <Lartza> [THC]AcidRain: Easy just to pen file
[15:51] <obeyance> I just want to be able to use this new upgrade! I just finished upgrading it and i guess i screwed up my OpenGL or Compiz settings by trying to turn on desktop cube...
[15:51] <Lartza> [THC]AcidRain: :P I always do it that way
[15:51] <k1rk> I am currently using Likewise to authenticate users with our active directory server.  I want to, at the logon time, grab the username and password and send it to Websense so it can auth the user too.

[15:51] <k1rk> Any ideas?
[15:51] <Lartza> obeyance: icewm != compiz
[15:51] <obeyance> I have no OS GUI, i cant move or modify windows and some things are not working.
[15:51] <Lartza> climbe2: So you didn't build a kernel, boot without UUID
[15:51] <XuMuK> cad, so what, do you have any idea? Or somebody else?
[15:51] <PlutoISaPlanet> Lartza: I only have a command line.  Running a recovery Live dist.
[15:51] <Lartza> climbe2: change /dev/... etc to /dev/sda1 or whatever is your root partition
[15:52] <climbe2> lartza, how to I change that?... I am new to command line interface
[15:52] <cad> i haven't
[15:52] <Lartza> PlutoISaPlanet: If automounted, go to /media, otherwise the mountpoint you mounted to :)
[15:52] <Lartza> climbe2: You have access to the /boot?
[15:52] <Lartza> climbe2: You can do it on grub too if not
[15:53] <climbe2> I can get into grub...that is where they ask you what kernel you would like to boot up?
[15:53] <Lartza> climbe2: Yes
[15:53] <Lartza> climbe2: Press "e" on the kernel to edit and there you can edit it and boot then with b

[15:53] <VEndix> Hello, got a problem after update. My Computer and other icons has disapeared, does anyone know how to reset them back?
[15:54] <obeyance> Did you just upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04?
[15:54] <Lartza> I thought Arch was unstable on updates... but most here tell they broke on update :D
[15:54] <obeyance> VEndix
[15:54] <VEndix> no to 11.10
[15:54] <obeyance> 11.10 is out?
[15:54] <Lartza> VEndix: #ubuntu+1
[15:54] <Lartza> obeyance: No
[15:54] <Lartza> obeyance: 2011.10 :)
[15:54] <Lartza> So October
[15:54] <VEndix> =]
[15:54] <obeyance> Yeah, thats why i ask. Cause he said to 11.10.
[15:55] <Lartza> VEndix: No support for it here, but #ubuntu+1
[15:55] <ParkerR> Well 11.10 alpha is out
[15:55] <obeyance> K so,
[15:55] <Pici> !11.10
[15:55] <obeyance> I have no OS GUI, i cant move or modify windows and some things are not working.
[15:55] <obeyance> ^^
[15:55] <Lartza> obeyance: lol...
[15:55] <Lartza> obeyance: By the way, why icewm? :S
[15:55] <Lartza> I think you mentioned it
[15:55] <obeyance> its what the guy that was working with me suggested before he left.
[15:56] <Lartza> :/
[15:56] <Lartza> Matter of opinion
[15:56] <Lartza> I like openbox, was just curious why you chose icewm that's all :)
[15:57] <XuMuK> Command for get processor Tº(echo " CPU temp is $(sensors | grep temp | awk '{print $2}')") and want to put it as alias, but when I do alias='echo " CPU temp is $(sensors | grep temp | awk '{print $2}')"' I get parse error. Any ideas?
[15:57] <obeyance> Well, its hard for me to do anything on here. without what im used to, i dont knwo what to do. Luckily i know how to work my way around file systems and can find things to run by digging through folders, but other then that i have no clue how to fix this issue.
[15:57] <s7r> !dante-server
[15:58] <obeyance> He said that desktop cube/Rotate cube screws things up in v11. But I screwed up some settings somehow and now i don thave any OS and what i said above.
[15:58] <szal> obeyance: GUI != OS
[15:59] <obeyance> What does that mean?
[15:59] <obeyance> !+
[15:59] <obeyance> !=
[15:59] <ParkerR> Not equal to
[15:59] <ParkerR> Or does not make
[15:59] <obeyance> Well, yeah. Thats what i mean is OS GUI

[16:02] <howlymowly> hi poeple..  I have a problem:   when trying to watch flash videos on webpages (youtube for example) the video stops after a few seconds...  it still runs in the backround, because I can still hear it..  and as soon as I turn fullscr off it works.  any idea?
[16:03] <Rigin> no idea
[16:03] <Lartza> howlymowly: Don't use fullscreen?
[16:03] <Lartza> :P
[16:03] <Lartza> Flash is horrible in Linux compared to Windows
[16:03] <Rigin> an idea can change ur life
[16:03] <Lartza> Blame Adobe
[16:04] <howlymowly> well..  "any idea what I can do about tha problem?"   are you guys now satisfied :)?
[16:04] <climbe2> lartza, when I am at the edit screen, i am not seeing a /dev/uuid blah blah
[16:04] <climbe2> I see recodfail, then insmod ext2 then set root=
[16:04] <Dmole> Flash is horrible ->.<-
[16:04] <howlymowly> well it used to work
[16:04] <Lartza> climbe2: root= /dev/disk...
[16:04] <howlymowly> I just can not tell when it stopped working since I didn#t watch any flash videos for some tie
[16:04] <Lartza> :D
[16:04] <Lartza> *root=/...
[16:04] <howlymowly> *time
[16:05] <lapion> I for one odn't have that many problems with flash, however I do use a laptop with somehwat older hardware
[16:05] <Dmole> who is having flash slowness?
[16:06] <howlymowly> Dmole: I do not have slowness...  I have fullscreen problems like:  after 10s video just "stops"  but it still runs in the backrund... its just the graphics that stop..
[16:06] <XuMuK> howlymowly, Lartza's right, this is flash matter and can not do anything for fix it for a while... I've got the same problem and what I do it's just don't see flash videos in fullscreen :(
[16:07] <A_J> Can any1 give me a name of a CD buring application, need to burn an ISO file
[16:07] <Dmole> howlymowly: I have not seen that but a workaround is to use the FF plugin to download the .mp4 then play it with VLC
[16:07] <xangua> (11:03:11) Lartza: howlymowly: Don't use fullscreen? - flash sucks in *nix, nothing we can do about it
[16:07] <howlymowly> XuMuK: that#s bad :(   do you know when this started?  I definitly remember in ubuntu 10.10 it worked
[16:07] <Lartza> xangua: I said that too :)
[16:07] <howlymowly> Dmole: thx..  tha#s a cool idea
[16:07] <Lartza> Blame Adobe
[16:07] <climbe2> lartza, so i change "root=UUID=e3dfblahblahblah" to "root=/dev/sdb1" ??
[16:08] <Lartza> ckrailo: :O I guess so
[16:08] <Lartza> no...
[16:08] <Lartza> Someone tell what root= is in grub2? :D
[16:08] <Lartza> or does /dev/sdb1 work?
[16:08] <adubz> my $output_file = '/var/www/log/number_output.log';   what would I do to apply regex to my output file
[16:08] <adubz> oops wrong channel
[16:08] <obeyance> I had that fullscreen issue before. Its an easy fix, but i dont remember how to do it.
[16:09] <climbe2> I am using grub version 1.98-1ubuntu12
[16:09] <Dmole> howlymowly: yah I do it even on computers where flash works windows/mac because you don't get buffering problems or flash flakes out
[16:09] <Lartza> climbe2: For me it would be root=/dev/sdXY but for me it's also /dev/disk-by-uuid/*insert characters*
[16:09] <howlymowly> Dmole: chrome does not have that plug-in right?
[16:09] <climbe2> hmm..
[16:09] <ParkerR> Chrome comes with flash built in
[16:09] <howlymowly> Dmole: do you know the name of the plugin?
[16:09] <Lartza> Dmole: Stop wathing videos of people who only release flash videos :P
[16:09] <Dmole> howlymowly: http://www.downloadhelper.net/
[16:10] <Lartza> ParkerR: Does ubuntu have chrome? :/
[16:10] <XuMuK> howlymowly, I don't remember exactly, thought, about 4-5 months ago it was fine
[16:10] <ParkerR> Yes
[16:10] <Lartza> ParkerR: Why? :S
[16:10] <ParkerR> chrome.google.com
[16:10] <ParkerR> What do you mean why?
[16:10] <howlymowly> XuMuK: kk.. that's about my feeling as well
[16:10] <Lartza> ParkerR: It does
[16:10] <Lartza> not
[16:10] <Dmole> Lartza: yah torrenting is better but once a year there is something flash only that someone want's to show me
[16:10] <ParkerR> Go to chrome.google.com
[16:10] <Lartza> I wondered, chromium is the open-source one :)
[16:10] <ParkerR> Click download
[16:11] <Lartza> ParkerR: apt-get install chromium
[16:11] <Lartza> the right way
[16:11] <ParkerR> No
[16:11] <nyuszika7h> !info chromium
[16:11] <ParkerR> Chromium != Google Chrome
[16:11] <Lartza> *chromium-browser
[16:11] <xangua> Lartza: chromium-browser is the name of the package
[16:11] <Lartza> !info chromium-browser
[16:11] <Dmole> chrome is nice but I hate it because webkit is crap compared to firebug
[16:11] <storm_> .
[16:12] <ParkerR> Google Chrome is based on Chromium but it is not Chromium
[16:12] <Lartza> ParkerR: Chromium > Google Chrome
[16:12] <ParkerR> No
[16:12] <XuMuK> apt-get install google-chrome-stable if you want chrome and have google's repo appended
[16:12] <ParkerR> It is not
[16:12] <Lartza> well one shouldt get google packages
[16:12] <[THC]AcidRain> see man wtf. im bout to merc myself
[16:12] <Lartza> but apt-get
[16:12] <ParkerR> Chromium doesn't have all the plugins Chrome does
[16:12] <ParkerR> What's wrong with Google?
[16:12] <Lartza> ParkerR: What plugins? The extension gallery is exactly the same
[16:12] <Lartza> ParkerR: chrome is built by google and chromium bu packagers
[16:13] <Lartza> ParkerR: Also the chrome.google.com probably spits files all over your filesystem
[16:13] <timrc> question: if I have two seperate instances of terminal open is there a way to combine them into one (e.g. make one a tab within the other) ?
[16:13] <k1rk> Nobody's familiar with likewise open?
[16:13] <[THC]AcidRain> google is great
[16:13] <ParkerR> Gaah
[16:13] <XuMuK> ParkerR, there's nothing, but there are people who has a lot of paranoia
[16:13] <Lartza> ParkerR: So what plugins?
[16:14] <CronTab> I've edited crontab by using sudo crontab -e...should i do anything else to get it activated? reboot?
[16:14] <Dmole> timrc	: maybe drag and drop one tab into the tab space of another window
[16:14] <XuMuK> CronTab, you should have the daemon started
[16:14] <XuMuK> and that's it
[16:14] <CronTab> how do i start it?
[16:15] <timrc> Dmole, I wish it worked like that
[16:15] <XuMuK> CronTab, it should already be there, take a look ps aux | grep -v grep | grep cron
[16:15] <Dmole> timrc	: works like that on osx :)
[16:15] <akita> CronTab, /etc/init.d/cron restart
[16:15] <timrc> Dmole, doh :)
[16:15] <ParkerR> Lartza, I was not able to play chrome.angrybirds.com in Chromium. It didn't have webgl
[16:16] <CronTab> ok thank you!!
[16:16] <CronTab> byee!
[16:16] <ParkerR> Try that in Chromium
[16:16] <szad> Maybye anyone here now something about samba? I cant connect ubuntu to windows to share files.
[16:16] <akita> CronTab, bye :-)
[16:16] <prt1990> hey
[16:16] <Lartza> ParkerR: Weird, I was able to play it with Chromium just fine
[16:16] <prt1990> how to use terminal?
[16:16] <akita> ParkerR, er. Really?
[16:17] <Dmole> timrc: another thing you could do is work in a screen then detach and resume it from the other window
[16:17] <ParkerR> Last I tied. Which wasn't too long ago
[16:17] <ParkerR> *tried
[16:17] <Dmole> timrc: (man screen)
[16:17] <Lartza> ParkerR: webgl was in chromium before chrome...
[16:17] <HeatMzzr> using chat in console or tty screen, the screen resolution is screwed up.. only using a qtr of the screen available with the rest of the screen unused.. how do I address that please???
[16:17] <extraclassic> szad: to connect from ubuntu you need smbclient and cifs-utils, then I just mount a share in fstab
[16:17] <moxbox> Can I go straight from Maverick to Oneiric, and if so how?
[16:17] <ParkerR> Well I prefer Chrome > Chromium so lets agree to disagree
[16:17] <prt1990> how to use photoshop in ubuntu
[16:18] <prt1990> ??
[16:18] <xangua> moxbox: no
[16:18] <Lartza> ParkerR: There is still really nothing different tho those
[16:18] <VEndix> well that 11.10 doesn't work properely
[16:18] <arfbtwn> prt1990: Try the GIMP
[16:18] <prt1990> kk
[16:18] <szad> extraclassic, well it says that i have both of that programs
[16:18] <VEndix> how to downgrade to the prevous version?
[16:18] <Lartza> ParkerR: Except that chromium is open-source
[16:18] <xangua> moxbox: clean install if you want oneiric withouth upgrade twice
[16:18] <louigi> hey guys! using ubuntu 10.04. When I call out a program in terminal (specimen ~/Sessions/project1) it opens and opens project1. If I create a launcher on panel and put same line in command, it will open the program but not the project. Anything I am doing wrong?
[16:18] <Lartza> VEndix: Reinstall
[16:18] <prt1990> well gimp is not productive like photoshop
[16:18] <HeatMzzr> using chat in console or tty screen, the screen resolution is screwed up.. only using a qtr of the screen available with the rest of the screen unused.. how do I address that please???
[16:18] <louigi> Interpretation of command different in launcher?
[16:18] <xangua> moxbox: and alos oneiric is not released and unsupported on this channel
[16:19] <szad> extraclassic, how to view windows shares? I cant do it.
[16:19] <VEndix> Lartza: downgrading is not reinstalling
[16:19] <ParkerR> "<Lartza> ParkerR: Also the chrome.google.com probably spits files all over your filesystem" and why would the Chrome package be any different than the Chromium?
[16:19] <Akuw> i just installed ubuntu 9.04
[16:19] <arfbtwn> prt1990: AFAIK the gimp can do all that photoshop can do, if you want to run photoshop you'll need to use wine, but it probably won't work ;)
[16:19] <Lartza> ParkerR: Yes
[16:19] <extraclassic> szad: i mount a folder in fstab, or nautilus has a way to view them
[16:19] <Lartza> ParkerR: ACtually it does
[16:19] <Dmole> prt1990: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=17
[16:19] <akita> Akuw, why so old version? :-)
[16:19] <Akuw> then i installed grub, but now i got grub> prompt, i am trying to load  kernel but can't
[16:19] <szal> !appdb | prt1990
[16:19] <Lartza> ParkerR: Have you installed from chrome.google.com? How do you uninstall it?
[16:19] <Akuw> because that is what i have
[16:20] <xangua> Akuw:  too bad, install a supported version ;)
[16:20] <cystic> hello, I am trying to install google chrome but when i load the .deb in usc the install button is disabled.. how can I get this to work?
[16:20] <obeyance> Hm
[16:20] <extraclassic> szad: there are some articles online that are detailed
[16:20] <ParkerR> I go to Synaptic and check it to uninstall
[16:20] <szad> extraclassic, dont know how to mount that folder, and nautilus after entering "Web" says error
[16:20] <Akuw> my problem is with GRUB
[16:20] <ParkerR> Lartza, pretty easy
[16:20] <Lartza> ParkerR: Mhh
[16:20] <Lartza> stupid ubuntu with packagers suppling distro-packages ot it :P
[16:20] <Lartza> ParkerR: Then it's not an issue
[16:21] <szad> extraclassic, looked on some of tutorials, but i couldnt find an explanation on my problem.
[16:21] <Spikestuff> I installed Ubuntu 11.04 via Wubi on Windows Vista, so now there is a few partitions I have, Ubuntu, Windows Vista, etc. I want to simply have a full, clean installation of Ubuntu. How would I go upon doing this? I didn't use a CD/DVD because I was given this laptop, and the previous owner doesn't remember the BIOS password.
[16:21] <obeyance> Ok i restarted and logged in under safe mode and everythign is working correctly. Looks just like the previous 2 versions on the UI too. That side bar thing is gone. How do i get normal mode to revert to these settings?
[16:21] <Spikestuff> So, unfortunately, I can't change the boot priority...
[16:21] <Rigin> yes gimp is a complete replacement to photoshop
[16:21] <Lartza> +1 GIMP
[16:21] <Lartza> gimp > photoshop
[16:22] <ParkerR> Lartza, http://cl.ly/0F2B3m021J1M2y040W3E
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> Spikestuff: there will be a shortcut key at boot to select the boot device
[16:22] <Lartza> ParkerR: Horrible URL I can't visit from tty...
[16:22] <Lartza> ParkerR: What is that?
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> gimpshop is also an option (not sure if its still maintained)
[16:22] <ParkerR> A screenshot
[16:22] <Lartza> ActionParsnip: Not maintained for few years
[16:22] <extraclassic> szad: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[16:22] <louigi> hey guys! using ubuntu 10.04. When I call out a program in terminal (specimen ~/Sessions/project1) it opens and opens project1. If I create a launcher on panel and put same line in command, it will open the program but not the project. Anything I am doing wrong?
[16:22] <prt1990> which software in ubuntu will be good for song editing?
[16:23] <DanaG> Lartza: install gpm
[16:23] <Dmole> Rigin	: gimp is missing many photoshop features (it is however quite good for most people)
[16:23] <DanaG> it'll give you console mouse.
[16:23] <Spikestuff> Hold on, ActionParsnip, let me try that.
[16:23] <Lartza> DanaG: I don't have a mouse
[16:23] <szal> Spikestuff: either what ActionParsnip said, or, if the warranty has expired, open the case & reset the BIOS (should be in the manual how to do that, I guess; normally it's taking out the BIOS buffer battery & changing and re-changing a jumper)
[16:23] <extraclassic> prt1990: ardour is a DAW
[16:23] <akita> Akuw, you can find root, kernel and initrd with the help of this prompt and tabs autocompleting?
[16:24] <thunder1212> hi
[16:24] <Dmole> prt1990:http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
[16:24] <dyd> i've installed mdadm with mirroring, how can i check if it works?
[16:24] <HeatMzzr> if anyone is here.. i want to change my resolution in my tty screens, im using ubuntu 11.04 on a acer z5600.. the resolution of my screen is 1920x1080 but in tty everything looks small and text doesnt take up whole screen...  help?
[16:24] <climbe2> lartza, do I change the root directory under "set root='(hd0, 5)' ", or under "linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-33-generic root=UUID=e3df...blah..." ??
[16:25] <Lartza> climbe2: The second I think
[16:25] <KommaH> Hey everyone, I'm having issues with the clock drifting on my Xen VPS. I've installed ntp and ntpdate which sync's the clock periodically, but the clock is still drifting between that time.
[16:25] <Lartza> not sure about those all at all now :P
[16:25] <milen8204> hello all I have one old scratched CD, say any program whit I can try open it ?
[16:25] <Dmole> dyd: there are instructions on how to simulate drive failure, or you could just swap a drive and let it rebuild.
[16:25] <Spikestuff> I am just brought to the Windows Boot Manager, ActionParsnip, when I try to press the key that's supposedly the boot menu key, any ideas?
[16:25] <greyster> oh well thats it for me!
[16:26] <greyster> cya
[16:26] <SubstreamAI> awk '$3 !=0 {print substr($0,index($0,$4))}' File.txt       this prints $4 to the EOL on TOP of $1  ?!!
[16:26] <szal> KommaH: wait a few days; it should stop drifting over time
[16:26] <grendal_prime> hey i have an atheros physical network adapter that stoped working after i upgraded my kernel.  I reinstalled the atheros driver and modprobed it (process i do everytime i get a new kernel) still no luck
[16:26] <grendal_prime> the wireless card works fine
[16:26] <thunder1212> i ran this command today on terminal and system won't boot now, find / -delete -iname "*firefox*"
[16:26] <SubstreamAI> I want it to print $1 after
[16:26] <Lartza> milen8204: Try other drives, program won't really matter
[16:26] <thunder1212> can someone explain what it actually did
[16:26] <grendal_prime> but i really prefer using the wired connection...any help with trouble shooting would be greatly appreciated...dmesg returns no errors
[16:27] <dyd> Dmole: thanks
[16:27] <milen8204> Lartza, what are you mean of other drives ?
[16:27] <Dmole> milen8204: use a CD buffer, then try XLD, EAC, or something like that
[16:27] <timrc> Dmole, I appreciate screen and byobu when I don't have access to a window manager
[16:27] <Lartza> milen8204: Another disc drive
[16:27] <milen8204> Lartza, to try on other PC ?
[16:27] <timrc> Dmole, usually I'll break up a terminal when I have multiple screens and then want to recombine them when I do not (e.g. I'm on the go)
[16:27] <Lartza> milen8204: Yes, or change your current disc-drive
[16:28] <thunder1212> is my data secure? my partitioning scheme was /, /home, swap all ext4
[16:28] <Lartza> Unless that other PC has identical drive
[16:28] <szal> Dmole: EAC is Windows software
[16:28] <SubstreamAI> awk ' {print substr($0,index($0,$4))}' File.txt       this prints $4 to the EOL on TOP of $1, I need it to print after, can you please help?  :)
[16:28] <szal> milen8204: audio or data CD?
[16:28] <milen8204> szal, i don`t know :D
[16:28] <milen8204> data I think
[16:29] <Dmole> szal: yes I was giving him hints on what to google for options
[16:29] <szal> Dmole: in case of a data CD, EAC is pretty pointless anyway :P
[16:29] <Dmole> true that
[16:30] <greyster> well, well, well
[16:31] <milen8204> szal, I think there is a data

[16:31] <sweb> E: Unable to lock directory /var/cache/apt/archives/
[16:31] <sweb> what is my problem with 'apt-get'
[16:31] <xangua> sweb: close the other(s) package manager
[16:32] <Eighteens> i've installed ubuntu on a few different computers lately, very satisfied, however the sound is garbled sometimes, not all the time. If i stick a store bought music cd in my player, it will play song 1 fine, "sometimes" then when it gets to song 2 i get this train wreck sound, and same with song 3, but when it gets to song 4 it will clear up, or the results could be completely opposite, won't play song 1 correctly, i hear audio, but
[16:33] <sweb> E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[16:33] <sweb> E: Unable to lock directory /var/cache/apt/archives/
[16:33] <sweb> what is my problem with 'apt-get'
[16:33] <Dmole> milen8204: if you can't read the disk at all you should clean and buff the disk, if you have trouble after that you can use better hardware, if that fails you can use dd to make an image of it and inspect it for file recovery with some forensics tools from the backtrack ubuntu toolset or distrobution
[16:33] <szal> !repeat | sweb
[16:33] <Eighteens> in addition, the garbled sound never existed from live cd tho, everything is flawless, what to do to fix this
[16:33] <szal> sweb: how did you run it?
[16:33] <IdleOne> sweb: do you have Software Center open?
[16:33] <sweb> szal, idc
[16:33] <ross`> ok unity is the most terrible thing ever, it took me 10 minutes to figure out the only way to run a terminal was to go to /usr/bin
[16:33] <ross`> who made this software
[16:33] <ross`> and why is it so broken
[16:34] <Dmole> sweb	: are you root
[16:34] <sweb> IdleOne, no just during installation postfx i close the terminal window
[16:34] <ross`> this is so painful, lukily i insatlled this for someone who is not too god with computers
[16:34] <sweb> Dmole, yes
[16:35] <ross`> also how do i make it so unity or gnome doesn't lock the user session
[16:35] <HeatMzzr> if anyone is here.. i want to change my resolution in my tty screens, im using ubuntu 11.04 on a acer z5600.. the resolution of my screen is 1920x1080 but in tty everything looks small and text doesnt take up whole screen...  help?
[16:35] <ross`> or waits longe
[16:35] <Dmole> sweb	: if you think nothing should have a lock on it .... oh sometimes it gets locked by the auto checker, you can kill it and retry
[16:35] <milen8204> Dmole, thanks what is dd?
[16:35] <sweb> Dmole, restart can help
[16:35] <sweb> ?
[16:35] <iceroot> does the minimal-cd provides lvm and sw-raid at installation
[16:36] <Dmole> milen8204: type "man dd" into terminal or google
[16:36] <louigi> hey guys! using ubuntu 10.04. When I call out a program in terminal (specimen ~/Sessions/project1) it opens and opens project1. If I create a launcher on panel and put same line in command, it will open the program but not the project. Anything I am doing wrong?
[16:36] <Akuw> i can`t find menu.lst in /boot/grub/
[16:36] <milen8204> Dmole, ok thanks
[16:36] <Akuw> why?
[16:36] <Dmole> sweb	: the update pid is likely to start up as soon as you restart but you can try.
[16:36] <ross`> someone
[16:36] <ross`> how do i make it so unity doesn't lock the session so fast
[16:37] <Dmole> Akuw: you are using grub2
[16:37] <Dmole> ross`: i would expect it to be close to the screensaver or power settings, but I don't know
[16:37] <Akuw> GNU GRUB 0.97
[16:38] <ross`> Dmole: found it, thanks
[16:38] <ross`> Dmole: unity really makes me angry
[16:38] <ross`> its more locked down then windows
[16:38] <Dmole> Akuw: paste bin "sudo ls -hal /boot/grub/"
[16:38] <Akuw> finally i load OS
[16:39] <fabzor3> hey people
[16:39] <fabzor3> whats cracking
[16:39] <grendal_prime> nevermind i figured it out
[16:39] <grendal_prime> something stupid
[16:39]  * fabzor3 floats around
[16:39] <ross`> why do i have to open the file viewer and go to /usr/bin just to get to a terminal?
[16:39] <ross`> please tell me that :p
[16:39] <SubstreamAI> awk '{print substr($0,index($0,$4))}' File.txt       this prints $4 to the EOL on TOP of $1, I need it to print after, can you please help?  :)
[16:39] <fabzor3> ross
[16:39] <fabzor3> what u mean bro?
[16:39] <fabzor3> like nautilus?
[16:39] <ParkerR> ross`, you shouldn't have to
[16:40] <thunder1212> i ran this command today on terminal and system won't boot now, find / -delete -iname "*firefox*"
[16:40] <ross`> fabzor3: perhaps im stupid :p, whatever ubuntu uses these days nautilus, thunar
[16:40] <climbe2> lartza, still around?
[16:40] <ross`> im coming from a light weight window manager and gentoo
[16:40] <ParkerR> ross`, what's going on?
[16:40] <ross`> ubuntu akes me angry
[16:40] <ross`> this is a friends computer im setting up for them
[16:40] <ParkerR> Well we already knw that
[16:40] <ParkerR> Ahh
[16:40] <ross`> ParkerR: all fixed now :)
[16:41] <climbe2> as I am trying to find where root= actually is, I am using Tab to list the completions...can't find /dev/sdb where root should be
[16:41] <ParkerR> Man I love WINE
[16:41] <grendal_prime> its gotten allot better thats for sure
[16:41] <climbe2> I found /root, but not sure what to do from here
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> ParkerR: tis tasty :)
[16:41] <ParkerR> Hehe
[16:41] <dr-willis> climbe2:  it maybe getting defined via uuid
[16:41] <dude> hi
[16:41] <ParkerR> Especially straight from the bottle XD
[16:41] <grendal_prime> its pretty good for introducing viri to your system as well hahahaha
[16:42] <ParkerR> Not really
[16:42] <climbe2> all of the kernel versions have root=UUID=e3fd blah blah
[16:42] <ParkerR> Malware doesnt know what to do in a wine prefix
[16:42] <climbe2> but none will boot
[16:42] <dr-willis> ived tested malware in wine. :)
[16:42] <ParkerR> It doesnt have a lot of the files they attack
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> grendal_prime: only in ~/.wine so who cares ;)
[16:43] <ParkerR> You can just delete the bottle :)
[16:43] <ParkerR> And make a new one
[16:43] <dr-willis> climbe2:  tou could change it to root=/dev/sdxx then
[16:43] <Lartza> climbe2: Now am again :)
[16:43] <kwvarga> Installing ubuntu and resizing partition on 500gb harddrive, looks like it has been frozen at about 50% for about 30 minutes, only messages i can see in the little terminal window is networking/wireless related
[16:44] <kwvarga> Any ideas on how long it is supposed to take? Should i be worried
[16:44] <grendal_prime> ActionParsnip, ya...ive seen machines that have them but ya your right it doenst seem to go any further than that..funny article states...Linux just isn't user-friendly when it comes to viruses. You have to work to find and run them. It doesn't happen automatically as it does with Windows. The GNU/Linux folks really should improve this glaring discrepancy.
[16:44] <dr-willis> kwvarga:  resizeing a 500gb ntfs?
[16:44] <climbe2> sdxx...what is that?
[16:44] <kwvarga> ext4
[16:44] <Lartza> climbe2: Your root partition
[16:44] <grendal_prime> http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/42031
[16:44] <climbe2> can't find /dev/sdb
[16:44] <grendal_prime> pretty funny.
[16:45] <dr-willis> climbe2:  you said it was sdb  .....
[16:45] <Lartza> climbe2: /dev/sdaX then possibly
[16:45] <climbe2> that's what i remember it being
[16:45] <kwvarga> dr-willis ext4
[16:45] <greyster> oh well
[16:45] <climbe2> I think sda has windows on it..the initial OS before I partitioned and added ubuntu
[16:45] <dr-willis> climbe2:  it would be like sdb1  or similer. not just sdb
[16:45] <Lartza> climbe2: Partitions are sda1 sda2 sda3
[16:45] <grendal_prime> just a note to anyone looking for a good machine.  I love my acer aspire one d255.  I cant do anything without it anymore.
[16:45] <Lartza> climbe2: so try sda2?
[16:45] <Lartza> or 3?
[16:46] <Adam_> can someone help me set up permissions.  I am using windows explorer and trying to alter files on our ubuntu webhost server but have no access to write.
[16:46] <Lartza> win7 might have tis boot partition as first?
[16:46] <Lartza> Adam_: Samba?
[16:46] <Adam_> i believe so
[16:46] <grendal_prime> its the first non dell machine i have bought in over 5 years and im very impressed with it.  Asside from the hardwire interface needing a kernel driver is a flawless machine
[16:46] <Lartza> Adam_: What is the smb.conf entry for that directory?
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> grendal_prime: I'm loving my gt540 :)
[16:46] <Lartza> Adam_: It might be wrong :)
[16:46] <Adam_> let em see
[16:46] <Adam_> me*
[16:47] <ParkerR> grendal_prime, hehe
[16:47] <Adam_> where is that located?
[16:47] <Lartza> Adam_: /etc/samba
[16:47] <grendal_prime> ActionParsnip,  this thing is a netbook.  with 4 atoms in it.  First mutithreading atoms on market i believe.  Pretty bad ass.. only thing it wont do is vritualization.
[16:48] <grendal_prime> and actuall it will do it..just that the hardware does not run it ..os does. wich is ..well slow.
[16:49] <grendal_prime> ActionParsnip, im in the middle of buying a gt400
[16:49] <ParkerR> I like running those fake cleaners in WINE
[16:49] <evan_> need help
[16:49] <Lartza> ParkerR: Fake cleaner?
[16:49] <k10> me too
[16:49] <gulzar> in ubuntu we have startupmanager to change the grub settings. How to do it in K-Ubuntu?
[16:49] <ParkerR> Lke the fake antivirus stuff
[16:49] <k10> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[16:49] <k10> what to do?
[16:49] <evan_> pls help me out on ubuntu 9.10
[16:49] <k10> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[16:49] <Lartza> k10: ./configure ?
[16:49] <maco> gulzar: you can run startupmanager regardless of your desktop environment
[16:50] <Lartza> k10: Don't spam
[16:50] <k10> done
[16:50] <maco> k10: check teh README or INSTALL file
[16:50] <ParkerR> evan_, what's wrong?
[16:50] <k10> checked
[16:50] <k10> it says ./ configur
[16:50] <Adam_> I have it open, not sure what should be set to what XD
[16:50] <gulzar> maco: startupmaanger is not showing in the repository
[16:50] <k10> then make
[16:50] <Lartza> k10: Then that's it
[16:50] <SubstreamAI> awk '{print substr($0,index($0,$4))}' File.txt       this prints $4 to the EOL on TOP of $1, I need it to print after, can you please help?  :)
[16:50] <gulzar> maco: I mean the packagemanager
[16:50] <k10> what tats it?
[16:51] <Lartza> k10: It should start compiling
[16:51] <coppermine> wheres a download link for ubuntu cd iso for a laptop with 192mb ram 500mhz cpu?
[16:51] <maco> k10: you put a space between the / and the configure. why's that?
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> grendal_prime: I'm looking at a Samsung S, the network is fast. Its what I use most, more than my laptop
[16:51] <coppermine> all i care about is text
[16:51] <k10> no
[16:51] <coppermine> gui would be nice for wireless
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> coppermine: try Lubuntu
[16:51] <coppermine> thanks
[16:51] <k10> its ./configure
[16:51] <Lartza> k10: And then make
[16:51] <maco> or damn small linux...
[16:51] <Lartza> What is this you are trying to compile
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> coppermine: you can use wicd, it has wicd-curses which is a nice text gui for wifi
[16:51] <Lartza> maco: Unmaintained
[16:52] <coppermine> ActionParsnip: comes with lubuntu?
[16:52] <maco> Lartza: still has a better chance of running on 192mb than ubuntu
[16:52] <Lartza> maco: Ubuntu is bloat :P
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> coppermine: you can change it, lubuntu comes with network manager
[16:52] <Lartza> *ed
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> Lartza: install minimal, then build up
[16:52] <maco> Lartza: yeah, it assumes your computer was made this century...
[16:52] <Lartza> ActionParsnip: Still
[16:52] <Lartza> maco: Mine is still would be on the edge with ubuntu
[16:52] <gulzar> in ubuntu we have startupmanager to change the grub settings. How to do it in K-Ubuntu? Startup-manager is not in the packagemanager and cannot be installed from commanline.
[16:52] <kwvarga> Installing ubuntu and resizing ext4 partition on 500gb harddrive, looks like it has been frozen at about 50% for about 30 minutes, only messages i can see in the little terminal window is networking/wireless related. Should I be worried? Anyway to get any more detail?
[16:53] <climbe2> lartza, mount: mounting /dev/sdb2 in /root failed: invalid argument.  mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: no such fil or dir, mounting /sys on /root/sys failed, mounting /proc on /root/proc failed, etc.
[16:53] <Rudolf_> What is the default root password for fedora 15
[16:53] <climbe2> target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init
[16:53] <Lartza> climbe2: Yea yea
[16:53] <xangua> gulzar: it isee
[16:53] <xangua> it is*
[16:53] <Lartza> climbe2: It's wrong to have root=/dev/something then I think
[16:53] <Lartza> Oh wait...
[16:53] <Lartza> Or sdb2 is not your root
[16:53] <gulzar> xangua: it is what?
[16:53] <climbe2> where would it be otherwise? I can use the tab>complete option to find where it should be
[16:54] <climbe2> but none of the sdXY seem to be on the disk...can't find them using the complete option
[16:54] <evan_> beetel bg60 usb modem not detected why?
[16:54] <evan_> beetel bg60 usb modem not detected why?
[16:54] <evan_> beetel bg60 usb modem not detected why?
[16:54] <climbe2> wouldn't they be under /dev?
[16:54] <FloodBot1> evan_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> Rudolf_: fedora isn't supported here
[16:54] <Lartza> climbe2: They... *sigh*
[16:55] <climbe2> oh god
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> Lartza: no, if you install lxde and lxdm, you have a very trim OS
[16:55] <xangua> gulzar: apt-cache search startupmanager
[16:55] <Lartza> climbe2: ls /dev/sd*
[16:55] <Lartza> ActionParsnip: Not really
[16:55] <Lartza> ActionParsnip: I get Gnome stuff on every package for example
[16:55] <Lartza> ActionParsnip: Other dependencies too that should be optional
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> Lartza: not if you use the -no-install-depends  then you won't pull in the fluff
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> Lartza: most are
[16:56] <TRiPTEC> is there a link how to fix this compiz uses 100% cpu
[16:56] <TRiPTEC> ?
[16:56] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: What GPU?
[16:56] <TRiPTEC> cpu
[16:56] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: What GPU?
[16:56] <Seven_Six_Two> Using 11.04 on HP G60 laptop (athlon X2, gforce 8200m) I recently started having trouble with suspend. I can suspend fine, but resume doesn't show anything but a black screen. alt+ctrl+f1 does nothing, so I can't find out what is going wrong and I have to do hard reset.
[16:56] <TheEvilPhoenix> TRiPTEC:  what graphics card?
[16:56] <TheEvilPhoenix> (aka GPU)
[16:57] <TRiPTEC> nvidia 8800gt
[16:57] <Lartza> Driver?
[16:57] <awesometaneous> is there a command that will kind of show about a certain program? I really want to know the version I have of a certain application
[16:57] <sloucher> I'm struggling wtih grub. The installer wants to know which partition to install grup? I should choose the partition that the / lives on even though that's an encrypted lvm partition?
[16:57] <TRiPTEC> 176 I think
[16:57] <Seven_Six_Two> alt+sysrq+ r,e,i,s,u,b   does nothing as well
[16:57] <TRiPTEC> 173 maybe
[16:57] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: But proietary nvidia yea
[16:57] <TRiPTEC> yeah
[16:57] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: You should get a newer though...
[16:58] <climbe2> lartza, where can i type the command ls /dev/sd* ?
[16:58] <Lartza> climbe2: Where do you tab complete?
[16:58] <TRiPTEC> now it actually works but when I set my desktop to twinview I'm f**ked
[16:58] <maco> TRiPTEC: watch the language
[16:58] <TRiPTEC> didn't I?
[16:58] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: Get 275 for starters
[16:58] <TRiPTEC> from nvidia?
[16:59] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: ubuntu repos of course
[16:59] <TRiPTEC> really?
[16:59] <TRiPTEC> I'll chekc
[16:59] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: Always
[16:59] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: Never get from nvidia.com

[17:01] <sloucher> I'm struggling wtih grub. The installer wants to know which partition to install grup? I should choose the partition that the / lives on even though that's an encrypted lvm partition?

[17:03] <Rudolf_> I am in fedora
[17:03] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: What ubuntu versionm are you on?
[17:03] <Rudolf_> I cant acces root
[17:03] <Lartza> Geez...
[17:03] <Lartza> Ubuntu has old nvidia too...
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> Rudolf_: sudo -i
[17:03] <surfdue> Current ssh is ignoring my key and i need to know do the files have to be a certain permissions
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> Rudolf_: fedora is offtopic here, this is ubuntu support
[17:04] <Bipul> E: Unable to locate package libreoffice Lartza
[17:04] <TRiPTEC> pedronveloso, I'm abit rusty but one of those ftpd's uses something similar to apaches .htaccess and if u know that the it should be a walk in the park
[17:04] <Lartza> Bipul: What version of ubuntu?
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> Bipul: what is the output of: lsb_release -d
[17:04] <Bipul> Linux bipul-desktop 2.6.35-30-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 7 18:40:23 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
[17:04] <TRiPTEC> Lartza, natty-backports and proposed?
[17:04] <Bipul> Lartza, Ubuntu 10.10
[17:05] <pedronveloso> TRiPTEC, I don't know that. btw, is there something with a GUI that allows the set up of FTP shares?
[17:05] <Lartza> Bipul: You need the ppa then
[17:05] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: natty
[17:05] <Rudolf_> I know
[17:05] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: You have old Ubuntu
[17:05] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: 10.10?
[17:05] <Rudolf_> But tis urgent
[17:05] <TRiPTEC> pedronveloso, pure admin
[17:05] <TRiPTEC> pedronveloso, pureadmin*
[17:05] <schao> hey, is there any logo design program for Ubuntu ?
[17:05] <szal> Rudolf_: -> #fedora
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> Bipul: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/01/install-libreoffice-in-ubuntu-from.html
[17:05] <TRiPTEC> 11.04
[17:06] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: Then newest is 270
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> Rudolf_: so why ask when "you know" it's offtopic
[17:06] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: apt-get install nvidia
[17:06] <szal> Lartza: nvidia-current
[17:06] <Lartza> Sorry, what szal TRiPTEC
[17:07] <Lartza> szal: Why is it -current?
[17:07] <Rudolf_> What to do
[17:07] <szal> Lartza: because there's 2 legacy options also available
[17:07] <szal> Rudolf_: /join #fedora
[17:07] <climbe2> lartza, ls /dev shows no sdXY, ls /dev/sd* file not found
[17:07] <TRiPTEC> nvidia-settings is 270.29
[17:07] <Lartza> szal: So? It could be "nvidia" and legacy are named other
[17:07] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: Doesn't matter
[17:07] <szal> Lartza: I know what I'm talking about
[17:08] <Bipul> how to know i have Gnome or KDE?
[17:08] <Lartza> szal: Also nvidia-current is old so :)
[17:08] <TRiPTEC> E: Unable to locate package nvidia
[17:08] <szal> Lartza: 270 is nvidia-current, then there's nvidia-173 for GeForce FX and nvidia-96 for GeForce 3 and 4 series
[17:08] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: nvidia-current
[17:08] <schao> Oops I asked Is There Any Logo Design Program for Ubuntu ?
[17:08] <Rudolf_> I am not registered
[17:08] <Lartza> szal: yea so nvidia = 270, nvidia-17 and nvidia-96
[17:08] <szal> !register | Rudolf_
[17:09] <Lartza> still dont need the necessity for -current
[17:09] <TRiPTEC> Lartza, sweet, somethings happening;)
[17:09] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: Make sure you don't update to anything over 270 in the future
[17:09] <Lartza> If ubuntu gets any update to nvidia-current
[17:09] <Lartza> on natty
[17:09] <TRiPTEC> oh, wtf? It's some kind of mac lookalike this unity?!?
[17:09] <szal> TRiPTEC: obviously
[17:10] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: NO the bar is on the left! Silly you to think of that...
[17:10] <TRiPTEC> szal, but why dear god why?
[17:10] <Lartza> They also removed lot of GTK2 compatibiity and stuff, all for the greater good
[17:10] <andrewS> the only way i know how to start xchat on 11.04 is typing "xchat" from console, since i can't find the link anywhere after installation. is there a method to prevent a console window from hanging there for the duration of the time i run xchat/irc?
[17:10] <szal> TRiPTEC: what do I know..  I don't care also, I use KDE ^^
[17:10] <andrewS> like a silent run or something?
[17:11] <Lartza> And I was talking about GNOME3 actually
[17:11] <Lartza> But unity is more or less that so
[17:11] <Lartza> :)
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> !gnome3
[17:11] <Lartza> ActionParsnip: ...
[17:11] <Lartza> Nobody wanted gnome3 :D
[17:11] <TRiPTEC> Lartza, yeah I've always used fluxbox but it takes days to get it working and I felt it might be time to take a step in some other dir but..
[17:11] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: I've always used openbox, takes 15 minutes max
[17:12] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: For some reason now I got LXDE which uses Openbox but is a DE
[17:12] <Lartza> Not really that good
[17:12] <xangua> andrewS: xchat &
[17:12] <Lartza> Pure openbox is better :)
[17:12] <andrewS> xangua, <3<3 to you
[17:12] <szal> Lartza: nobody really wanted KDE4 either back when it came out..  difference in approach: the KDE team continued to support KDE3 until KDE4 was widely considered usable
[17:13] <TRiPTEC> yeah, I used to install ubuntu-server and then what i needed and that was awsome but things like automount usb and so on is really nice not to have to setup
[17:13] <Lartza> szal: They dropped Gnome2 support?!
[17:13] <szal> Lartza: yes
[17:13] <Lartza> I thought they had some but...
[17:13] <Lartza> Stupi.... *sigh*
[17:13] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: Don't install server...
[17:13] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: It has a server kernel
[17:14] <TRiPTEC> Lartza, so, netinstall?
[17:14] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: There is the alternative cd it has some minimal install
[17:14] <KM0201> there's nothing wrong w/ the server kernel.
[17:14] <Lartza> If I remember right
[17:14] <Lartza> KM0201: For desktop, it's less interactive and slower
[17:14] <KM0201> install server edition, slap a GUI on top of it, if thats what you want to do.
[17:14] <Lartza> KM0201: minimal install, GUI
[17:14] <TRiPTEC> Lartza, and I must say server worked for me for 2 years so it wasn't bad and I did alot of work on my old really shitty laptop
[17:15] <andrewS> blah. xchat & --> lets me continue to use that console window, but when it closes it also kills xchat. how exactly does the operating system run xchat from a gui link without showing the user a console window?
[17:15] <KM0201> Lartza: not in my experience, but ok... and yeah, minimal install will do the exact same things
[17:15] <milen8204> which is best program for virtual machine ?
[17:15] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: It's not bad just things are less interactive
[17:15] <Lartza> KM0201: Another kernel, not the server kernel
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> milen8204: there is no single best app for any single situation
[17:15] <Lartza> KM0201: Also the alternative cd has desktop pacakges like X on it while server doesnt but has apache etc
[17:15] <KM0201> Lartza: i'm aware of that
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> milen8204: so the answer is: none and all
[17:15] <TRiPTEC> Lartza, as in not so flashy?
[17:15] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: Huh?
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> milen8204: it's as intelligent as asking "what is the best colour?"
[17:15] <elkuka> hi everyone, I-m new in ubuntu and need some help. I-m running live/usb now to resize partition. shrink 290 gb to 190. it-s been an hour at least with gparted. is it common to take that long!?
[17:15] <TRiPTEC> nm
[17:16] <KM0201> TRiPTEC: what exact problem are u having?
[17:16] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: I neant you need itnernet to install X from server CD
[17:16] <GaToR> t
[17:16] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: But it is on alternative
[17:16] <milen8204> ActionParsnip, ok which is most popular then others :D
[17:16] <Lartza> TRiPTEC: Install is not GUI in either
[17:16] <TheMatrix3000> ok, i was installing a package
[17:16] <TheMatrix3000> and had to remove it
[17:16] <TheMatrix3000> and now im getting tons of errors
[17:16] <TheMatrix3000> and apt-get purge doesn't do any good
[17:16] <Lartza> What did you remove and how?
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> milen8204: qemu, virtualbox, vmware
[17:16] <TRiPTEC> KM0201, I dunno, it might be fixed now, I guess I have to restart x
[17:16] <TheMatrix3000> http://pastebin.com/FSPLN48G
[17:17] <milen8204> ActionParsnip, thanks :)
[17:17] <BluesKaj> elkuka,  100g is lotta resizing ..it' may take longer if there's a lot of data
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> TheMatrix3000: can you pastebin the terminal of your efforts please
 http://pastebin.com/FSPLN48G
[17:17] <TheMatrix3000> i tried doing a apt-get purge nagios
[17:17] <Pilate> So while doing some package 'trimming' i accidentally removed bind9 and all dependancies, now DNS seems to be pretty much screwed.... anybody have a course of action for repair?
[17:18] <TheMatrix3000> but doesn't fix it
[17:18] <elkuka> BluesKaj thanks, so I-ll leave it like that for 2 more hours then. I shoulnt cancel it. right_
[17:18] <elkuka> ?
[17:18] <johnhamelink> Hey there, I've mucked up the graphics on my other ubuntu 10.04 machine
[17:18] <johnhamelink> How do I completely re-install all graphics functionality
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> TheMatrix3000: are there any bugs reported?
[17:19] <TheMatrix3000> nope
[17:19] <BluesKaj> elkuka, don't cancel . resizing in my experience can take 4 hrs if there's a lot of data to move
[17:20] <TheMatrix3000> i think i did a dpkg-reconfigure which may have screwed it up
[17:21] <elkuka> BluesKaj I think that part of the disk was empty... so there shouldnt be data there. I-ll wait then. thanks a lot
[17:22] <TRiPTEC> this driver is activated but not currently in use?
[17:22] <BluesKaj> elkuka, good luck partitioning takes some patience :)
[17:22] <mrdeb> TRiPTEC: that is normal for 1104. it still works
[17:22] <dr-willis> TRiPTEC:  for what driver.
[17:22] <mrdeb> nvidia
[17:22] <TRiPTEC> current
[17:22] <TRiPTEC> yeah
[17:22] <mrdeb> yes
[17:23] <dr-willis> mine nvidia saya that also. but nvidia-settings says its ok
[17:23] <mrdeb> it is a bug that doesnt affect anything
[17:24] <TRiPTEC> my user is currently auto logged in, where do I change this
[17:24] <TRiPTEC> ?
[17:24] <dr-willis> TRiPTEC:  run nvidia-settings see if it says its used or not
[17:25] <VEndix> Hi, what is better. The Gnome3 or the enviroment that comes with Ubuntu 11.04?
[17:25] <rww> !best | VEndix
[17:25] <mrdeb> can you print and move web browser from another ubuntu computer
[17:25] <dr-willis> VEndix: try both and you decide
[17:25] <xangua> VEndix: gnome3 is currently not supported
[17:25] <TRiPTEC> 270.41.06
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> VEndix: both and neither
[17:25] <dr-willis> mrdeb:  print? you can share peinters
[17:25] <nashnash> Hi everyone
[17:26] <KommaH> Hey everyone. I'm having issues with my clock drifting in a Xen VPS. The clock drift is very, very bad (2 seconds in 10 minutes). I've installed ntp and ntpdate, however, the clock is still drifting! Could someone please help?
[17:26] <VEndix> do people know how to stop from auto hiding that left panel?
[17:26] <ocx> guys, i am not able to install sendmail using sudo apt-get install sendmail
[17:26] <ocx> i did apt-get update
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> VEndix: if its unity and not unity 2D then its set in ccsm
[17:26] <ocx> and it is saying unable to locate package sendmail
[17:26] <dr-willis> VEndix:  its a compiz setting in the unity plugin
[17:26] <nashnash> I'm trying to make a liveUSB and it won't work. Tried unetbootin and another program like that. Doing it in win 8
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> !info sendmail
[17:26] <JoAnneOminous> What's the command I run to try to set up dual monitors?  Is it amdccle?
[17:26] <ocx> my sources.list are the default ones
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> ocx: do you have universe repo enabled?
[17:27] <ocx> and uncommented my cdrom
[17:27] <ocx> what is universe repo?
[17:27] <VEndix> dr-willis: can i talk to you in private?
[17:27] <fshp> Miro can download individual file from a torrent?
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> ocx: its the repo that sendmail is on
[17:27] <JoAnneOminous> ocx: the Universe repository.
[17:27] <ocx> can you give me the source?
[17:27] <kwvarga> is there a way to see output from a PID?
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> ocx: you have it listed, you just need to uncomment it (or use software centre if you have a desktop OS)
[17:27] <dr-willis> VEndix:  the webupd8 blog site lists many unity tweaks.  i dont use  unity much.
[17:28] <Barzogh> ocx : deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty universe
[17:28] <dr-willis> !universe
[17:28] <TRiPTEC> huh, compiz seems to work just fine now, how come it's the 173 nvidia driver that get installed first?
[17:28] <VEndix> dr-willis: give me 1 example plz :)
[17:28] <dr-willis> VEndix:  of what?
[17:28] <VEndix> ok i will find it myself
[17:28] <VEndix> :)
[17:28] <TheMatrix3000> i figured it ou
[17:28] <TheMatrix3000> out*
[17:29] <ocx> tusing us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[17:29] <ocx> isisnt it the same?
[17:29] <ocx> using*
[17:29] <JoAnneOminous> ocz: deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe
[17:29] <JoAnneOminous> deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe
[17:29] <ocx> natty main restricted
[17:29] <JoAnneOminous> Those are for lucid.   I imagine if you replace lucid with natty
[17:29] <ocx> and natty universe
[17:29] <JoAnneOminous> I guess those are security-specific...sorry...
[17:30] <TRiPTEC> lolz, I used the option install beside win7, now my ubunti install have about 1.8 tb
[17:31] <ocx> i got those
[17:31] <ocx> still not working
[17:31] <dr-willis> you did apt-get update after changeing your sources?
[17:32] <ben_q> hello, I use fusermount to mount rar-archives containing videos. Now when I mount a folder which is actually in a samba-shared parent folder, it disappears. thus I cannot make mounted content available via samba. how can I change that?
[17:32] <TRiPTEC> is there any working ext4 driver for win yet?
[17:32] <JoAnneOminous> ocx: You put deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty universe  in your /etc/apt/sources.list, and then do 'sudo apt-get update'...
[17:33] <JoAnneOminous> Or, I suppose, you don/'t have to use the repo in France.
[17:33] <ronqbc> when i leave my computer alone it often freeze or something. what can i do?
[17:33] <dr-willis> ben_q:  ive never noticed rared  videos  being much smaller in size.. sort of pointless to rar them. nuless they are some lossless codecs i guess.
[17:33] <sk3wy> someone there ?
[17:34] <JoAnneOminous> ocx: are you using Natty?
[17:34] <dr-willis> !ext3
[17:34] <sk3wy> is someone using linux?
[17:34] <dr-willis> that ext3 tool may do ext4 by now
[17:34] <sk3wy> what irc client would you prefer ?
[17:34] <ocx> yes natty
[17:34] <ocx> JoAnneOminous:
[17:34] <dr-willis> sk3wy:  depends on your needs
[17:34] <TheMatrix3000> pidgin?
[17:35] <sk3wy> what need could I have ?^
[17:35] <JoAnneOminous> sk3wy: xchat is a good one.
[17:35] <TheMatrix3000> i use pidgin for all my irc needs on ubunt
[17:35] <ben_q> dr-willis, that's how the warez scene distributes them and that's how I like to keep them stored to be able to fill requests later on
[17:35] <dr-willis> dozens of irc clients to try. i use weechat
[17:35] <climbe2> lartza, still there?
[17:35] <Barzogh> <--- irssi
[17:35] <climbe2> lartza, ls /dev shows no sdXY, ls /dev/sd* file not found
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> !irc | sk3wy
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> sk3wy: nice list of clients there :)
[17:35] <sk3wy> ill try pidgin cuz Im using Ubuntu too
[17:35] <sk3wy> !irc
[17:35] <sk3wy> what ???
[17:35] <JoAnneOminous> sk3wy: I grew up on the ircii, but it's probably a bit old-skool for your needs.
[17:36] <sk3wy> what list of clients ?
[17:36] <dr-willis> ben_q:  its pointless for them to do the raring... had that debate with  people in the years gone by. ;)
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> sk3wy: read the factoid ubottu gave
[17:36] <wsagent> I am using Smuxi
[17:37] <dr-willis> kvirc has an amazine feature set for an irc client. ;) but i go weechat route
[17:37] <ben_q> dr-willis, I'm not exactly sure why they do it, either ^^
[17:37] <ben_q> mabe bc of rapidshare
[17:37] <sudokill> i think xchat is the best
[17:37] <sk3wy> think i got enough for trying^^
[17:38] <sk3wy> right know Im using xchat
[17:38] <sk3wy> wich I dont like much
[17:38] <dr-willis> xchat and xchat-gnome are very different
[17:39] <dr-willis> be sure to try the actual xchat
[17:39] <sudokill> sk3wy, whats wrong with xchat?
[17:39] <baeek> is there a channel for fitness
[17:39] <sudokill> its just as fast as the cli ones
[17:39] <JoAnneOminous> what's wrong with xchat-gnome, just out of curiosity?
[17:39] <dr-willis> missing features and gui weirdness i recall
[17:40] <dr-willis> xchat has also been getting slimmed down over the years.
[17:40] <JoAnneOminous> xchat serves my porpoises.  Haven't tried the gnome version, but I generally avoid gnome/kde stuff if I can.
[17:40] <TRiPTEC> where do I change the number of workspaces and not spanning the top bar over both screens?
[17:40] <sudokill> i just fail to see the point of the cli ones if your running x
[17:40] <sk3wy> Ive tryed to enter irc.nn-crew.cc
[17:40] <sk3wy> just 2 take a look
[17:40] <JoAnneOminous> TRIPTEC: what window manager?
[17:41] <dr-willis> TRiPTEC:  if using nvidia - run nvidia-settings and enable twinview and restart x.
[17:41] <sk3wy> but I didnt make it
[17:41] <KommaH> Hey everyone. I'm having issues trying to fix a considerable clock drift (at least 2 seconds in 10 minues) on my Xen VPS. I've installed and configured ntp and ntpdate, however, they don't appear to be helping much. Any help is appreciated!
[17:41] <TRiPTEC> JoAnneOminous, compiz i guess?
[17:41] <dr-willis> unity has some issues with multi monitor support also
[17:41] <TRiPTEC> default from 11.04
[17:42] <climbe2> dr-willis, still having trouble finding my root directory...lartza reccommended 'ls /dev/sd*', but it came up with no file / dir found
[17:42] <JoAnneOminous> Oh.  I've heard of this 11.04.
[17:42] <JoAnneOminous> Unity
[17:42] <skione> hi, I just discovered unison and it seems like it solves a lot of the issues I was having using rsync. However I am having trouble figuring out how to ignore a child directory in the sync. The documentation is not clear to me. If I wanted to ignore the logs folder in all subfolders under virtual/ what is the syntax. Here is the current command line: unison /var/www/virtual/ ssh://server2///var/www/virtual/ -owner -group -batch -terse -prefer
[17:42] <dr-willis> climbe2:  you mean the drive that is mounted to / ?
[17:42] <TRiPTEC> JoAnneOminous, yeah..
[17:42] <k10> No package 'libwnck-1.0' found
[17:42] <k10> No package 'libberyldecoration' found
[17:43] <TRiPTEC> how do I not auto login when I start the comp?
[17:43] <sudokill> TRiPTEC, in the user options in the settings menu unlock it and untick auto login
[17:43] <ssfdre38> how can i get GLIB or what is the apt-get install command for it
[17:43] <johnhamelink> Hey guys, I'm getting (EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPUTCMAP: Invalid argument" when I boot up on this 10.04 machine, any ideas?
[17:44] <szal> ssfdre38: what for?
[17:44] <climbe2> dr-willis, not actually sure.... rather new to all of this...can't find sdb1/2 where I think ubuntu is mounted
[17:44] <wsagent> need help I am not able to install anything from ubuntu software center... getting an error Requires installation of untrusted packages
[17:44] <sk3wy> how can I change the color of my nick ??
[17:44] <ssfdre38> szal, im trying to make my own IRC client from xchat and im missing glib
[17:45] <TRiPTEC> sudokill, thanks but it was "login screen"  here
[17:45] <climbe2> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1807978 describes in better detail my initial problem
[17:45] <sudokill> ok
[17:45] <dr-willis> climbe2:  use the mount command. it shows the mount devices and points. you may want to read up on how linux mounting works also
[17:45] <dr-willis> !mount | climbe2
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> wsagent: can you give a pastebin of: lsb_release -a; sudo apt-get update
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> wsagent: thanks
[17:46] <climbe2> I am unable to use the mount command in grub-command line
[17:47] <dli> climbe2, did it boot before upgrading kernel?
[17:47] <sudokill> climbe2, whatd oes it say?
[17:48] <climbe2> yes, it would boot before kernel upgrade I believe....last I remember auto update installed new kernel...after restart would not boot up
[17:48] <climbe2> but now none of the past kernels will boot up either
[17:48] <climbe2> 2.6.32-31, 2.6.32-30, etc
[17:49] <skione> anyone can help with unison syntax?
[17:49] <dli> climbe2, in grub2 command line, you can do: search -f /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[17:50] <dli> climbe2, best thing to do is livecd
[17:50] <grimpirate> Hello, I tried out the LiveCD and everything worked fine
[17:50] <climbe2> where can I acquire a live CD?
[17:50] <climbe2> is that the same disc I used to install ubuntu?
[17:50] <grimpirate> But when I installed it to my drive, and loaded the OS
[17:50] <szal> ssfdre38: headers for building software are in -dev packages
[17:50] <grimpirate> I have a problem where my display is showing two ghost images
[17:50] <ssfdre38> szal, i got it
[17:51] <grimpirate> And they're flickering and such
[17:51] <dli> climbe2, yes, the installation cd is fine
[17:51] <tech_help> is there a way to mouse click on a lower window without raising it?
[17:51] <grimpirate> How do I fix this, as it didn't happen with the LiveCD?
[17:51] <jimbozone> Hi, if anyone can help me out here it would be much appreciated:  I have just attached a 2nd monitor, and wish to run 2 monitors with the 2nd being an extended desktop.  I have this working but my first monitor now is "Unknown" and the native resolution is not selectable (1600x1200)

[17:53] <dli> climbe2, can you boot a livecd?
[17:53] <coz_> jimbozone,  yeah hold on
[17:53] <climbe2> no, I cannot
[17:53] <dr-willis> hmm. gnome dialog dosent show up eh? theres other screen shot tools. i tend to use gimp
[17:53] <SoftarPaul> dr-willis: That didn't help me actually. nothing happens.
[17:53] <grimpirate> I booted the LiveCD fine, but upon install I now have two ghost images that flicker, how do I resolve this?

[17:54] <dli> climbe2, what happens? BTW, please try to avoid vague comment like "it doesn't work", it helps to provide specific details, like error messages
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> climbe2: remove the CD as a repository in software centre
[17:54] <grimpirate> ActionParsnip: I believe it's a standard intel chipset
[17:54] <dr-willis> Ziga_L:  normally. yes
[17:54] <zykotick9> Ziga_L, yes it will.  See !grub for reinstall directions.

[17:55] <ActionParsnip> grimpirate: you are it's just nitegrated to the motherboard, the OS doesn't care and sees it as attached to the PCI express bus
[17:55] <climbe2> how do I boot the live cd?... it tries to boot, but gives me Error 0 and kills it
[17:55] <dr-willis> SoftarPaul:  try other screenshot software perhaps
[17:56] <SoftarPaul> dr-willis: Any sugestions? :)
[17:56] <dr-willis> climbe2:  was that the same cd you installed from?
[17:56] <dr-willis> SoftarPaul:  i mentioned gimp  earlier
[17:56] <dli> climbe2, make a liveUSB :( it's faster and more reliable
[17:57] <climbe2> dr-willis, it was the same CD I installed from

[18:00] <climbe2> dr-willis, what version should I make the LiveUSB from...I am running 10.04.1 as far as i know
[18:00] <grimpirate> @ ActionParsnip: It says Ubuntu 11.04
[18:00] <k10> how to install compiz
[18:00] <k10> >
[18:00] <dr-willis> climbe2:  may as well use the same
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> k10: its ni a default OS
[18:00] <Pici> k10: It should already be installed.
[18:00] <wsagent> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/648437/  as per your suggetion
[18:00] <k10> k
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> wsagent: i suggest you remove or change http://mirror.noreply.org  to maverick, it currently points to Intrepid which is long dead
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> wsagent: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com CFF71CB3AFA44BDD
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> wsagent: will also import the GPG key you missed
[18:03] <grimpirate> Why would the LiveCD display graphics just fine and not a system install?
[18:03] <jimbozone> dli/mrdeb: ok I've run xrandr, and no, I've never used it before
[18:04] <KM0201> grimpirate: whats your graphics device?
[18:04] <dli> jimbozone, get dual monitor up now?
[18:04] <grimpirate> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)
[18:04] <k10> how can i install this then?
[18:04] <k10> http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Starace?content=143639
[18:04] <KM0201> grimpirate: what version of ubuntu? and 32 or 64bit/
[18:05] <grimpirate> 32 bit
[18:05] <dli> grimpirate, that's very old intel video, trouble in newer drivers (not well tested)
[18:05] <grimpirate> Understandably dli
[18:05] <grimpirate> But the LiveCD displays thing s properly
[18:05] <grimpirate> It was only upon installing the OS that I now have two ghost-like flickering images at 640x480 resolution
[18:05] <dli> grimpirate, the same version of X (drivers)?
[18:05] <jakemp> I've installed libffi-dev, and the files in /usr/lib aren't there
[18:06] <jimbozone> dli:  I have both monitors up, but cannot select native resolution
[18:06] <grimpirate> I'm unsure how to answer that dli
[18:06] <jimbozone> the resolution is not selectable
[18:06] <grimpirate> I basically booted the LiveCD, saw that it ran fine, and then did an install using the full disk
[18:06] <KM0201> !bug 162039 | grimpirate
[18:06] <KM0201> woops, wrong bug.
[18:06] <KM0201> :)
[18:06] <grimpirate> lol no worries
[18:06] <Nisstyre> yes
[18:06] <dli> jimbozone, can you use xrandr to set modes?
[18:07] <grimpirate> I am currently on this messed up Ubuntu
[18:07] <dli> grimpirate, boot the livecd, save the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[18:07] <KM0201> grimpirate: looks like you're not the only one, but.. that seems strange, i'm guessing you could manually configure xorg w/ your resolution..  https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+question/162039
[18:07] <jimbozone> dli: reading the man now
[18:07] <dli> grimpirate, also, can you reset mode by xrandr
[18:07] <everett> is there any way of putting 10.10 network settings into 11.04
[18:08] <dli> jimbozone, something like: xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1280x720
[18:08] <wsagent> ActionParsnip thanks for your help, i imported the GPG key already but i still have problem to remove or change http://mirror.noreply.org  to maverick
[18:08] <KM0201> grimpirate: ActionParsnip (one of the subscribers to that bug) hangs out here.. he's probably here now... try asking him.
[18:08] <jimbozone> dli: thanks, reading then will try :)
[18:08] <grimpirate> I did KM0201, I don't think he knows a solution
[18:08] <KM0201> oh ok.. sorry... :(
[18:09] <grimpirate> He asked me the graphics card and ubuntu version, but I guess that wasn't enough info
[18:09] <KM0201> hmm,
[18:09] <KM0201> !res
[18:09] <dli> jimbozone, or something like: xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768 --primary --output HDMI1 --mode 1280x720 --below VGA1
[18:09] <dli> jimbozone, xrandr displays detected monitor info
