Mac os x, windows, etc.  Because a lot of people don't speak english, and you want to make it easy for them to use the O/S
[00:08] <Foxhoundz> dpb_: Agreed. However, couldn't the install process simply ask the user to pick and choose which language pack to download in the first place?
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> Foxhoundz: I believe it's somehow set when you install
[00:08] <Foxhoundz> instead of downloading everything
[00:09] <is_null> hi all, in the keyboard shortcuts window, i've selected a shortcut to edit and i hold ctrl a for a while but it doesn't change anything: the shortcut is still reported as "disabled". Any idea ?
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> Foxhoundz: Its to make the system easier for non-techies
[00:09] <Foxhoundz> ActionParsnip: That doesn't make sense
[00:09] <Foxhoundz> You could just have a screen or a drop down control where you simply prompt the user for their specific language
[00:09] <Foxhoundz> I don't see how that would be too difficult for the average joe to figure out
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> Foxhoundz: yep, many other distros do have that, but the audience of ubuntu are non-technical users, so the installer is as simple as possible
[00:10] <dpb_> Foxhoundz: sorry... can't help you on the why questions. beyond what I've already said. :)
[00:10] <Foxhoundz> The developers are out of touch with the community.
[00:11] <Foxhoundz> Anyway, back to installing Linux Mint
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> Mint'scommunity is tiny compared to Ubunus
[00:11] <Foxhoundz> Well Mint is somewhat of a fork of Ubuntu
[00:12] <dpb_> Yes, I for one am very happy about multilingual support in ubuntu, opens it up to more users, which is very cool.
[00:12] <Foxhoundz> the packages are compatable with Ubuntu
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> yes, and its not supported in the Ubuntu channels
[00:12] <Foxhoundz> The install process is identical to Ubutnu
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> Foxhoundz: still, its offtopic here
[00:13] <Foxhoundz> I'm quite sure it is. That's why my question concerned Ubuntu
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> !mint
[00:13] <Foxhoundz> Which secretly addressed a Mint issue ;-)
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> Foxhoundz: its not
[00:13] <Foxhoundz> Yes, it is.
[00:13] <Foxhoundz> Ubuntu DOES install language packs without permission
[00:13] <Foxhoundz> which is carried over to mint
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> its not supported here, it has its own channel
[00:14] <apwbdjp> ActionParsnip, ubottu's still not back :'(
[00:14] <Rotham> ActionParsnip:  I'm logged in as root, and I have tried making the folder both within $HOME and outside
[00:14] <Foxhoundz> ActionParsnip: Again, this is why my question concerned Ubuntu.
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> Foxhoundz: is your question actually for mint?
[00:14] <dpb_> ActionParsnip: stop feeding him. :)
[00:15] <Foxhoundz> ActionParsnip: As far as you're concerned, no.
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> Rotham: strange, is the partition healthy
[00:15] <Foxhoundz> To quote myself: (6:06:18 PM) Foxhoundz: Is there any reason why Ubuntu (and its derivatives) download/install language packs for no reason
[00:15] <dpb_> speaking of, dinner time for me.
[00:15] <dpb_> :)
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> !ops | Foxhoundz wants support for mint and won't listen
[00:15] <Foxhoundz> My question stated Ubuntu as the issue
[00:15] <Rotham> ActionParsnip:  It should be, but how can I tell?
[00:15] <chrislabeard> can anyone link to me to a good tutorial for rsync and ssh. I'm able to login to ssh without using a password with my pub key but I'm unable to use rsync and ssh
[00:15] <reisio> Foxhoundz: because people invariably want to change their languages with a single click
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> Rotham: boot to liveCD and fsck
[00:15] <Rotham> its a vps
[00:15] <reisio> Foxhoundz: the pricier versions of Windows also come with unnecessary language packs preinstalled
[00:15] <Rotham> btw
[00:16] <Rotham> dont think i can boot to liveCD
[00:16] <pangolin> Foxhoundz: Please stop. Mint is not supported here. go ask in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.net
[00:16] <Foxhoundz> For the 4th time (+) , my question concerned Ubiquity + Ubuntu
[00:16] <Foxhoundz> I only mentioned Mint because it was based on Ubuntu
[00:16] <Foxhoundz> let's not get carried away people
[00:17] <mbeierl> Foxhoundz: either way, I don't think you'd be able to get an answer as to why Ubuntu installs language packs for no reason.  Typically devs who make such decisions aren't in this channel...
[00:17] <Foxhoundz> mbeierl: Thank you for your answer
[00:17] <Foxhoundz> That actually helped.
[00:18] <mbeierl> Foxhoundz: for what it was worth, you are welcome ;)
[00:18] <Foxhoundz> It would be nice if someone close to the devs could drop a suggestion to change this behavior
[00:18] <Foxhoundz> Its not pretty when you're on a metered bandwith
[00:18] <pangolin> Foxhoundz: file a bug on launchpad.net
[00:18] <reisio> Foxhoundz: how big are they altogether?
[00:18] <mbeierl> Foxhoundz: that would actually be a bug report, or a suggestion in ... what's it called... brainstorm?
[00:19] <reisio> brainstorm, is that short for wasting your time?
[00:19] <pangolin> a bug report would be better
[00:19] <Foxhoundz> reisio: I have no idea. I'm not sure where it saves the packs
[00:20] <reisio> Foxhoundz: it's probably negligible
[00:20] <reisio> text doesn't take up much space
[00:20] <mbeierl> pangolin: for this, I can see it being worthy of a bug, but in general, "I would prefer" type of things usually start here: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/
[00:20] <Foxhoundz> is there a specific package for the language packs?
[00:21] <reisio> dpkg -l | egrep -i 'lang|ling|i18n|l10n' might tell you
[00:22] <mbeierl> Foxhoundz: indeed... I did a quick review of my installed languages and there are very few.  Perhaps you could simple deselect those that you don't want.  Or is this during the install process that it is doing a download that you do not want
[00:22] <mbeierl> Foxhoundz: if so, something like an alternate install cd might be a better way to go.  I did not have this issue when installing Natty, at least.
[00:23] <Foxhoundz> mbeierl: This occurs when you're first installing Ubuntu with a network connection
[00:23] <Foxhoundz> or else it just skips it
[00:23] <mbeierl> Foxhoundz: I should clarify my earlier statement: I see literally tens of languages, but about 4 that are actually installed.
[00:24] <mbeierl> Foxhoundz: I used a live usb for the install and was network connected and do not recall this happening to me.  I too have limited bandwidth (not a bw cap, but just really slow)
[00:24] <mbeierl> Foxhoundz: 11.11 or what version?
[00:25] <apwbdjp> Foxhoundz, I've installed many times with an alternate cd, with a shared gprs connexion, it didn't download any extra language pack
[00:25] <drulic> hello, how can i access a server using ssh and using a key? i always used putty on windows but i dunno how to do it here
[00:25] <Foxhoundz> mbeierl: 11.10
[00:26] <mbeierl> Foxhoundz: that's what i meant ;)  Just fat fingers.  Ok, so I have not tried that one, and if that's the case, then it is a bug worthy of launchpad indeed.
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> drulic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys
[00:29] <luis_> hey, if anyone can help me, i need indications about how to troubleshoot a faulty hibernation in Oneiric Ocelot
[00:29] <drulic> ActionParsnip: i was following that tutorial but i am not sure of how to proceed. I created my key and uploaded it to the server, but now what shall i do to connect?
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> thats all i know
[00:30] <reisio> luis_: so would anyone who could help you... what are the indications
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> http://www.debuntu.org/ssh-key-based-authentication
[00:31] <seekwill> Does anyone have a recommendation on a USB wifi card with great reception and works out of the box?
[00:31] <mbeierl> drulic: from the command line, you specify the key to use with the -i flag like so: ssh -i key.pem user@server
[00:31] <usacomputertec_> Can someone tell me how to edit the gdm config files?
[00:31] <usacomputertec_> I need to remove "Ubuntu" = Unity as an option.
[00:31] <luis_> reisio whenever I click on hibernate or issue the hibernate command or the s2disk command, the screen goes black and then comes back to the normal screen again
[00:32] <mbeierl> drulic: you can also use the ssh-agent to store the key and present it with subsequent connections, but if the -i works for you, it's easiest
[00:32] <drulic> mbeierl: thanks i am gonna try it
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> usacomputertec_: which release?
[00:32] <usacomputertec_> Hello
[00:33] <usacomputertec_> ActionParsnip I'm using xubuntu 11.10 and I'm removing everything xubuntu and installing gnome and gdm
[00:33] <mbeierl> drulic: you're welcome.  I've actually done quite a lot using ssh keys, so ask again if you hit a wall...
[00:33] <usacomputertec_> in hopes to avoid the Ubuntu bloat
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> usacomputertec_: nice move
[00:33] <reisio> luis_: s2disk doesn't give any errors?
[00:33] <Scunizi> How do you find the package name of a widgit in kubuntu?  It's the calculator widgit you can put on the screen.
[00:33] <usacomputertec_> the problem is Ubuntu's gdm package is configured to log into Unity by default, and I don't even want it in there.  Only bianary files.
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> usacomputertec_: or try /etc/init/gdm.conf
[00:35] <seekwill> drulic: ~/.porn/
[00:35] <mbeierl> drulic: the usual spot is in your home directory, under the ".ssh" directory (hidden in the Nautlus explorer by default)
[00:36] <reisio> luis_: that was my advice :D
[00:36] <usacomputertec_> awesome lets try it
[00:36] <mbeierl> drulic: and it's also customary to set the permissions to "600", or owner read/write, everyone else access denied
[00:36] <mbeierl> drulic: from a terminal "chmod 600 .ssh/key.pem"
[00:38] <drulic> mbeierl: thanks again
[00:38] <mbeierl> drulic: also, I should mention in case you were not aware: on the server, the .ssh/authorized_keys file must be set to 600 or it will not be acceptable to the ssh server and it won't work
[00:38] <usacomputertec_> ActionParsnip no Gnome / unity stuff in there.
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> usacomputertec_: does it have about autologin and such?
[00:39] <mbeierl> drulic: or ... wait, that side was already set up, if i understood you correctly.  you used it from putty before, just never linux.
[00:39] <seekwill> mbeierl: I make those files 400
[00:39] <usacomputertec_> ActionParsnip what are you talking about?
[00:40] <mbeierl> seekwill: even better.  I know that 600 is the bare minimum that ssh will accept
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> usacomputertec_: the file I mentioned
[00:40] <Azymuth> Hi all
[00:40] <seekwill> mbeierl: I don't need to write to them very often, and I worry about some cases where some rogue app can write to it but not able to chmod it
[00:40] <usacomputertec_> I'll look at it again
[00:40] <mbeierl> seekwill: it's a good practise
[00:40] <mbeierl> practice? (spelling is overrated...)
[00:41] <amstan> where are the kernel modules(.ko files) stored?
[00:41] <usacomputertec_> ActionParsnip it talks about auto-login in the instructions
[00:42] <usacomputertec_> ActionParsnip Wow it still uses xorg.conf
[00:42] <usacomputertec_> this might be stable
[00:42] <usacomputertec_> ;)
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> usacomputertec_: some systems need it
[00:43] <usacomputertec_> ActionParsnip it's running /etc/environment
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> amstan: /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> usacomputertec_: that is a place to put global settings for bash ect
[00:44] <amstan> ActionParsnip: yeah, i got there, but i have this issue now: FATAL: Error inserting cdc_acm (/lib/modules/3.0.0-14-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.ko): Invalid module format
[00:44] <usacomputertec_> ActionParsnip I opened the /etc/enviornment and it looks strange. Ya nothing to do with gdm conf
[00:45] <CoJaBo> The system is repeatedly detecting a nonexistent drive /dev/sdf and assuming cache: write-thru- How do I disable this message so I can accessuse the system?
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> amstan: I have it here in Precise
[00:46] <amstan> ActionParsnip: have what?
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> amstan: /lib/modules/3.2.0-2-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.ko
[00:47] <amstan> ActionParsnip: i need it changed actually, trying to fix an issue
[00:47] <amstan> that's why i'm recompiling
[00:47] <amstan> but apparently i got the wrong version/arch
[00:47] <amstan> i have 3.0.0-14-generic
[00:47] <amstan> i did git checkout v3.0 to get the git source to be used in compiling my module
[00:48] <drulic> mbeierl: yes u are right, i could access it using putty
[00:48] <usacomputertec_> ActionParsnip wouldn't you know it? I can't find any thing on Google that talks about this.
[00:48] <tucemiux_mob> about time xchat was installed by default on ubuntu!
[00:49] <mbeierl> drulic: then the simple -i should work for now.  if you want to be lazy and not have to type it, there are ways...
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> tucemiux_mob: empathy is tough
[00:49]  * tucemiux_mob hates empathy
[00:49]  * mbeierl finds it tough to empathize indeed
[00:50] <tucemiux_mob> anyone else having a great experience with ubuntu?  **everything** actually works now!
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> usacomputertec_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutoLogin#Enabling_AutoLogin_from_command_line
[00:50] <usacomputertec_> ActionParsnip and anyone else, here is another question. How do you install gnome-desktop without installing empathy and other stupid dependancies.
[00:50] <drulic> mbeierl: right now im trying to log in using putty again on another computer...i forgot which was the actual key... got some .pem and some .ppk :P
[00:52] <luis_> reisio tried to install tuxonice but i got  this:http://paste.ubuntu.com/755552/
[00:52] <tucemiux_mob> whats the package name for software center???
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> tucemiux_mob: software-center   (american (incorrect) spelling)
[00:53] <Emiru> is there page files on ubuntu like on windows ?
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> Emiru: its your swap partition
[00:53] <reisio> ActionParsnip: yeah but realy it's the French's fault, for pronouncing it wrong
[00:53] <tucemiux_mob> whats the package name for software center?
[00:53] <reisio> tucemiux_mob: you've been told...
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> reisio: they made it first so I'd stand with them :)
[00:54] <tucemiux_mob> reisi, sorry i keep getting disconnected :-(
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> tucemiux_mob: i told you already
[00:54] <tucemiux_mob> ActionParsnip, I missed your post!
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> (00:52:57) ActionParsnip: tucemiux_mob: software-center
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> my bad
[00:54] <reisio> luis_: sounds like you have a dodgy mirror
[00:54] <reisio> ActionParsnip: but they didn't :D
[00:54] <luis_> it could be that
[00:55] <reisio> they mispronounce both the beginning and end, heh
[00:55] <reisio> that's why French is so fun to speak
[00:55] <luis_> it's not the first time i have that problem
[00:55] <reisio> luis_: 'fraid I don't use Debian enough to know what to do about that, but someone else in the channel probably knows
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> reisio: its a great language to learn
[00:55] <usacomputertec_> ActionParsnip I have to create a program, just to make Gnome normal enough again so I can fix things.
[00:56] <luis_> ok thanks reisio! anyone can help me on troubleshoot an hibernating issue?
[00:56] <lordjj> Hey, trying to install Cinepaint but can't get it to compile (cmake works, then make gives errors). Here's the error I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/755555/ . Can anyone check it out? You can also download tarball here: www.cinepaint.org
[00:56] <reisio> lordjj: compile?
[00:56] <Technicus> Hello . . . can someone direct me to a resource/tutorial for setting up my own video conferencing server and client(s)?
[00:56] <Emiru> ActionParsnip: Oh ok, thanks !
[00:57] <lordjj> reisio it's a tarball
[00:57] <usacomputertec_> ActionParsnip there is no System menu in Gnome, that's why I have to fix it :(
[00:57] <reisio> lordjj: there's probably a deb somewhere
[00:57] <Emiru> Also, ubuntu says I have 4 cores 2.4ghz, while I have 2 ? Windows use to show that too, I have a i5 2430M
[00:57] <luca> Dear friends, someone of you knows PDO pho data objects?
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> lordjj: which release are you using?
[00:57] <lordjj> apparently not -not the latest version at least
[00:58] <luca> could you advice to me some simple guides?
[00:58] <lordjj> Natty
[00:58] <lordjj> & cinepaint 1.0
[00:58] <reisio> bummer
[00:58] <somsip> luca: join ##php
[00:58] <reisio> Emiru: there's real cores and fake cores :)
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> Emiru: its the HT thing, you have 4 fake cores
[00:59] <reisio> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading
[00:59] <Emiru> ActionParsnip: Im guessing I have the performances of 2 anyway ?
[00:59] <reisio> there's some debate as to whether you do yourself a favor by using the fake cores, but you can find that on your own :p
[00:59] <Emiru> reisio: thanks for the link, I'll check it out
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> Emiru: you have the performance of 4 afaik
[01:00] <luca> I cannot join to php
[01:00] <jmax> hi
[01:00] <Emiru> ActionParsnip: Oh I didnt know that, thanks !
[01:00] <reisio> luca: /msg nickserv help register
[01:00] <reisio> luca: /msg nickserv help identify
[01:00] <usacomputertec_> ActionParsnip no gdmsetup is installed, how do I get that?
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> usacomputertec_: according to packages.ubuntu.com its not in oneiric but is in natty http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=natty&arch=any&searchon=contents&keywords=gdmsetup
[01:06] <Weems> How can I get the system and preferences menus back if using Gnome Classic on a recent upgrade to 11.10?
[01:07] <arvut> !info sdl
[01:07] <arvut> hmm
[01:08] <arvut> what version of sdl is installed in 11.10ä
[01:08] <arvut> ?
[01:08] <lordjj> Hey, trying to install Cinepaint but can't get it to compile (cmake works, then make gives errors). Here's the error I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/755555/ . I tried ./configure + make too: http://paste.ubuntu.com/755562/ . Can anyone check it out? You can also download tarball here: www.cinepaint.org
[01:11] <Weems> How can I get the system and preferences menus back if using Gnome Classic on a recent upgrade to 11.10?
[01:12] <rhizmoe> Weems: i don't think they exist there
[01:12] <Weems> ....
[01:13] <rhizmoe> i suppose it might matter which system and pref menus you're looking for, though.
[01:15] <usacomputertec_> Does anyone know where I can get gdmsetup?
[01:15] <Weems> rhizmoe: like was in 11.10
[01:15] <Emiru> how do you check computer specs?
[01:16] <Weems> where I could go to screen resolution, etc
[01:16] <Weems> I dont know why they are trying to make linux like windows, bloated and of no use to anyone
[01:16] <reisio> Emiru: what are you looking for?
[01:16] <Emiru> reisio: If my network card supports 5Ghz
[01:17] <Emiru> not sure which I have
[01:17] <reisio> lspci | grep -i net
[01:17] <luis_> reisio, i've used the main  mirror, and made some advances... the hibernate dry run stops at "Executing LockFilePut..." and then nothing happens
[01:17] <Emiru> reisio: Thanks a lot ! :)
[01:21] <luis_> i'll leave it for some other day
[01:23] <Emiru> Is there a channel for hardware ?
[01:24] <reisio> Emiru: yes
[01:24] <reisio> guess what its name is
[01:25] <Emiru> oh easy one :P im switching to comp science and im not sure if my network card is good for it :3
[01:25] <reisio> Emiru: ffr (for less obviously-named channels) /msg alis list *foo*bar*
[01:26] <Emiru> reisio: Thanks Ill take that in note !
[01:27] <mbeierl> ?  Where's ubottu?  Has she gone belly up?
[01:27] <usalabs> I'm confused, if Lucid LTS means Long Term Support, then how come all other distros have mono to >=2.10, and Lucid is still 2.4
[01:28] <Pici> mbeierl: ubottu.com is having issues. thus no ubottu, and why the floodbots are flopping around
[01:28] <mbeierl> Pici: i was wondering about the floodbots...
[01:28] <nd456> Can anyone help me get my Rosewell gigabite card working?
[01:28] <psusi> usalabs, support means critical bugs ( security ) are fixed, not every new update
[01:28] <Pici> usalabs: because LTS means gauranteed security updates, not feature updates.
[01:29] <usalabs> ahhh ok
[01:29] <reisio> nd456: lspci | grep -i net
[01:30] <usalabs> sooo, to get new feature updates, I would have to completely upgrade to the next version right?
 http://paste.ubuntu.com/755578/
[01:31] <reisio> usalabs: not necessarily
[01:31] <reisio> usalabs: but that might take the least amount of effort
[01:31] <reisio> nd456: ...didn't want to include the | grep -i net part?
[01:31] <nd456> reisio> sorry
[01:32]  * reisio shrugs
[01:32] <seekwill> usalabs: The idea about LTS is having a stable platform. Introducing new features introduces new variables that need to be tested.
[01:32] <reisio> nd456: sudo modprobe r8169
[01:32] <nd456> reisio: http://paste.ubuntu.com/755582/

[01:33] <nd456> Reisio: I was helped from you before... i do i need sudo for that edit?
[01:34] <SoWhat> good evening! can you tell me, how to adjust screen brightness on Ubuntu?\
 what do i add?
[01:34] <SoWhat> I have HP 4530d and none of my Fn key combinations work
[01:34] <SoWhat> 4530s
[01:35] <Emiru> Can I create a partition with for example 100gb, leave it empty and install windows on it from restore CDs ?
[01:35] <reisio> nd456: r8169
[01:36] <reisio> Emiru: yes
[01:36] <reisio> Emiru: if you want to install Windows after installing Ubuntu, you will need this later on: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[01:36] <Emiru> reisio: great ! Im not a guru(yet) with computers buts thats the best idea I came up with

[01:46] <soreau> Nfisher: Which version of ubuntu?
[01:46] <Nfisher> soreau, Lucid
[01:46] <pythonirc101> seekwill: I'm trying to install moodle and its complaining : Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): (28000/1045): Access denied for user  'paul'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in  /var/www/moodle/lib/dml/mysqli_native_moodle_database.php on line 75
[01:47] <seekwill> pythonirc101: How are you trying to install that? What command gives that error?
[01:47] <seekwill> oh
[01:47] <soreau> Nfisher: There's plenty of other ways to play youtube videos.. there are dedicated youtube players in the repos or you can download the video and play it in mplayer
[01:47] <pythonirc101> seekwill: moodle has a web interface that's giving me that error (install.php)
[01:48] <Nfisher> soreau, minitube doesnt work for me either..
[01:48] <seekwill> pythonirc101: The module is installed, but it looks like you didn't configure moodle correctly. MySQL is telling you access denied for paul
[01:48] <xangua> Nfisher: because you use outdated software
[01:48] <Nfisher> xangua, i hate Unity..
[01:49] <Nfisher> xangua, and Lucid is LTS btw..
[01:49] <xangua> there is a minitube ppa that gives you the latest stable version and there is also gstreamer ppa, it may work for totem Nfisher
[01:49] <xangua> Nfisher: LTS doesn't mean edge software updates, it means Security updates ;)
[01:50] <rigel> so my enterprise has a public wifi and a private hidden one, and they overlap about 100%. how can i get nm to connect to the hidden one when it sees the public one
[01:50] <rigel> automagically
[01:50] <Nfisher> xangua, right but its not outdated
[01:53] <koof> newbie, 11.10 in Unity: How does one approach accessing the shared files on a Mac?
[01:54] <Buster_Sonic7986> How do I regestier a nick again?
[01:55] <reisio> Buster_Sonic7986: /msg nickserv help register
[01:55] <reisio> Buster_Sonic7986: /msg nickserv help identify
[01:55] <soreau> Buster_Sonic7986: /j #freenode
[01:55] <soreau> ;)
[01:55] <reisio> Buster_Sonic7986: in the freenode config for XChat, put the password in both the nickserv and server password input fields
[01:55] <soreau> reisi: You don't have to put it in the server password field
[01:56] <soreau> That's for.. a server password
[01:56] <blawiz> is there a "testing" option in ubuntu to get newer packages?
[01:56] <zHammeRz> I wish
[01:57] <usalabs> blawiz in the package manager, there is a package called 'Test drive an Ubuntu ISO'
[01:58] <zHammeRz> I'm not sure what he meant but I meant a way to test the auto updates and if it doesn't work just roll it back...the latest updates broke audacity, IE: I can't install it now
[01:58] <reisio> soreau: no you don't have to, if you're happy to join freenode without your hostmask applied
[01:58] <blawiz> usalabs, i want newer versions of apps, some anyways
[01:58] <soreau> reisi: It shows my 'hotmask'?
[01:59] <reisio> soreau: it might show your IP
[01:59] <usalabs> blawiz some of the newer apps for versions high than Lucid maynot work, because of newer dependencies
[01:59] <reisio> freenode-applied hostmasks require identification
[01:59] <soreau> reisi: Did it just then?
[01:59] <reisio> soreau: nope
[02:00] <reisio> and it might not for hundreds of logins
[02:00] <reisio> until it does :P
[02:00] <soreau> great, cloke and sasl still works ;)
[02:00] <reisio> oh well if you're using sasl :p
 It didn't work...
[02:00] <Trfsrfr> so how is the new 11.10 version? I havent upgraded yet?
[02:00] <reisio> nd456: your network device?
[02:01] <reisio> Trfsrfr: haven't upgraded from what
 yeah... what kills me is its supposed to be linux supported
[02:01] <Trfsrfr> reisio - from the previous version
[02:01] <ThomasWaldmann> moin :) just found that while googling: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/moinmoin?action=AttachFile
[02:02] <reisio> nd456: it is AFAIK
[02:02] <ThomasWaldmann> could someone with an account there please remove all the spam attachments?
[02:02] <reisio> nd456: lsmod | grep -i r81 ?
[02:03] <nd456> reisio: r8169                  47200  0
[02:03] <rigel> so is there any way to make networkmanager connect to an alternative network when it sees a particular one in the list, or do i need to get networkmanagerdispatcher to disconnect and then reconnect to the alternate one
[02:04] <Buster_Sonic7986> What's the register command?
[02:05] <reisio> nd456: you can't ping out?
[02:05] <reisio> Buster_Sonic7986: /msg nickserv help register
 it dosent show in the network manager...
[02:07] <a1> hi! there is someone who can help me? i have  a problem and i need some answers
[02:08] <nd456> al just ask...
[02:08] <Buster_Sonic7986> it keeps saying  No channel joined. Try /join #<channel>
[02:08] <a1> i have samsung I5700 spica  with android 2.1
[02:08] <reisio> nd456: not sure that necessarily means it isn't working
[02:09] <a1> and i want to update it to 2.2
[02:09] <reisio> a1: talk to #android
 uhh... well in my book it isn't working unless it shows in the gui lol
[02:09] <reisio> nd456: it's just a separate issue, if it's actually working
 ok, any idea's then?
[02:10] <reisio> sorry never used networkmanager
 Ok, thanks for the help...

[02:18] <krabador> hi people, when i'm in disk geometry menu on Testdisk, if i change parameters i'll change permanently on the device, or it's only a testdisk change for scanning?
[02:18] <R3db3ard> i have grub hidden timeout set to true and it still shows ever time i restart
[02:18] <Jonta> enchilado: Should be noted that SE stands for "Stackexchange.com" (:
[02:18] <sharpK> 'Ello folks, this is a weird question, but is there a network/monitor tool for linux that can actually access a router (wrt54g for example) and get the necesary data off it?
[02:18] <reisio> R3db3ard: set where
[02:19] <R3db3ard> /etc/default/grub
[02:19] <reisio> krabador: don't cross post :/
[02:19] <R3db3ard> i dont' want it to show at all... i want to explode the grub and never ever see it again
[02:20] <balistic22> Hello, I have a question, i installed a partition on my macbook pro in hopes to install linux. I've deleted the partition but now it will not let me resize my primary *mac partition* so now i have 50 GB in limbo how can i fix this
[02:20] <reisio> R3db3ard: there's a command you have to run after modifying that file
[02:20] <reisio> R3db3ard: update-grub, I think
[02:20] <R3db3ard> ok i'll try
[02:20] <krabador> reisio, excuse me, the first in the main is in the wrong place, i see later this channel in the list
[02:21] <reisio> krabador: just saying :p
[02:21] <Jonta> balistic22: Gparted?
[02:21] <a1> can someone can help me with irc problem?
[02:21] <reisio> a1: ?
[02:21] <balistic22> Jonta, how can i use gparted
[02:21] <Jonta> balistic22: Googled it first? (:
[02:21] <balistic22> Jonta, I'm currently on lion, you see i was attempting to install linux. I've used google, no luck lol
[02:22] <a1> when i take from menu web/ chanells its start for few second i see chanels but then all system is stop and i need to off irc ap
[02:22] <R3db3ard> balistic22, yeah i'd definitely read A LOT about it before you go tooling around in gparted
[02:22] <balistic22> Jonta, all the solutions have failed im not too familiar with Terminal Terminology (no pun intended)
[02:22] <Jonta> balistic22: Really? I googled how to use it just a couple of days ago, and came up with nice results
[02:22] <balistic22> Jonta, it told me to download an app called ipartition
[02:22] <balistic22> and i think i just screwed my self even more
[02:22] <argos20> how do i monitor my gpu temperature in ubuntu 11
[02:23] <a1> reisio?
[02:23] <Jonta> balistic22: You can run GParted from a CD
[02:23] <balistic22> you see my goal was to triple boot my computer and for some reason I have failed even through all the tutorials
[02:23] <R3db3ard> balistic22, www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html
[02:23] <reisio> a1: your IRC client freezes your system?
[02:23] <a1> yup
[02:24] <reisio> well then your system is buggy
[02:24] <Jonta> argos20: Googled "monitor gpu temp ubuntu" and came up with promising results
[02:24] <reisio> it could be the IRC client or it could be one of its deps
[02:24] <reisio> or it could be a hardware issue
[02:24] <a1> o, we misunderstand, only irc client is stop, system works fine
[02:25] <R3db3ard> a1 what irc client?
[02:25] <a1> irc xchat gnome
[02:26] <balistic22> ok i am going to downlaod and install gparted
[02:26] <R3db3ard> hmmm what version of linux?
[02:26] <balistic22> it's a 110 MB!!! thats crazy
[02:26] <a1> 10.04
[02:26] <a1> ubuntu
[02:26] <R3db3ard> a1 have you considered irssi?
[02:27] <balistic22> do you guys know the best way to triple boot a macbook pro
[02:28] <balistic22> i have windows and lion installed via bootcamp but i can't seem to install the linux partition
[02:28] <reisio> balistic22: is there a best way to do something so silly?
[02:28] <reisio> I would probably use GRUB2 for booting them all
[02:28] <R3db3ard> oooh
[02:28] <R3db3ard> balistic22, pm me
[02:28] <R3db3ard> i've done it b4
[02:28] <reisio> if I were silly enough to try it
[02:28] <a1> good idea, but i use irc only when i can't google anythin, and now i have problem with android update under ubuntu. i want go to #android, but i can't
[02:28] <nd456> reisio: haha!
[02:29] <reisio> nd456: figure it out?
[02:29] <Guest81986> anyone help with uninstalling this operating system
[02:29] <lalaland1125> I am running ubuntu on an old system with low ram(1 Gigabyte). Any suggestions or articles to lower ram usage?
[02:29] <CarlFK> lalaland1125: 1g is plenty
[02:29] <nd456> reisio: ehh not yet... its on the mighty "ubuntu forms"
[02:30] <nd456> resisio: my haha was for your reply to the triple boot
[02:30] <lalaland1125> Well cpu usage in general as well. Htop shows the CPU frequently maxing out.
[02:30] <Jonta> enchilado: Ah, seems askubuntu.com is also an option (:
[02:30] <balistic22> reisio, no need to be cynical im just trying to learn
[02:31] <reisio> learn what
[02:31] <sharpK> any recommendations on a book/resource for a first time linux user (coming from years of windows)?
[02:31] <nd456> not to use mac
[02:31] <enchilado> o_O
[02:31] <enchilado> Jonta: uhm?
[02:32] <Jonta> enchilado: The link I gave you
[02:33] <Jonta> How can I find the DisplayPort's resolution of my Lenovo Thinkpad T420? It didn't say in the specs, I've searched the outputs of lshw, hdparm and dmidecode to no avail, and I can't test it atm.
[02:33] <Jonta> Ubu 11.10.
[02:33] <quixotedon> sharpK: go to http://ubuntu-manual.org/
[02:34] <quixotedon> sharpK: it contains 10.10 manual but still is useful for a new user.. welcome to ubuntu!!
[02:34] <nd456> Jonta: what screen size?
[02:34] <leo-unglaub> hi friends, how can i put the programm menu back to the program where it's belong? i am going nuts with the menu bar in the top
[02:34] <Jonta> nd456: 14.0", 1600*900. That's the laptop.
[02:35] <enchilado> Jonta: … what link? O_o
[02:35] <Jonta> enchilado: Err.. didn't I refer you to askubuntu.SE?
[02:35] <reisio> Jonta: might ask ##ibmthinkpad
[02:35] <Jonta> reisio: Did.
[02:35] <enchilado> Jonta: why would you refer me there…? I haven’t even spoken in this channel today…
[02:36] <Jonta> enchilado: My bad. nvm. (:
[02:36] <enchilado> o_O
[02:37] <kookykookie_> question: if a site list source(tar) and packages(zip) for download, is there a difference between them
[02:37] <lalaland1125> Does anyone know a good git gui for gnome? I want something like TortiseSvn, with explorer integration etc.
[02:38] <leo-unglaub> lalaland1125: http://www.rabbitvcs.org/
[02:38] <quixotedon> leo-unglaub: would you specify more about your problems?
[02:39] <leo-unglaub> quixotedon: well, you know the menu bar with every programm has...i need i back by the programm and not in the left corner disapering all the time
[02:39] <somsip> lalaland1125: git-gui, but I did see a webpage a few days ago that compared 4 or 5 and can't find it now...
[02:39] <leo-unglaub> i have two 26 monitors, i am going nuts here driving every time with the mouse up in the corner just to see the menu
[02:39] <somsip> lalaland1125: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2011/11/26/graphical-git-clients-for-ubuntu/
[02:40] <kookykookie_> https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/archives/master
[02:40] <quixotedon> leo-unglaub: why not typing 'alt' button??
[02:40] <quixotedon> leo-unglaub: latest ubuntu version comes with this feature, otherwise you might want to try unity-2D
[02:40] <quixotedon> leo-unglaub: or gnomeshell
[02:40] <xangua> leo-unglaub: sudo apt-get remove appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-gtk appmenu-qt
[02:40] <xangua> from the webupd8 oneiric tweak post
[02:41] <xangua> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html
[02:41] <xangua> You can also disable the global menu without removing any package. See  http://is.gd/z9fQgh
[02:41] <lalaland1125> Thank you for the links
[02:41] <maestrojed> I am still trying to figure out some of the fine points of linux/ubuntu. I am supposed to put applications in /usr/bin, correct? But that is owned/grouped by root. And it seems if I create an Ubuntu Desktop Launcher that executes the command to run the file I get an error which I don't get when I use CLI and run the command under sudo.
[02:41] <quixotedon> xangua: thanks!! you rock!! :)
[02:42] <leo-unglaub> quixotedon: the gnomeshell sucks....i am working on my computer, not looking an cool desktop effects.... i am a linux oldscool user
[02:42] <leo-unglaub> xangua: thanks, you saved my day
[02:43] <quixotedon> leo-unglaub: xangua helps a lot
[02:44] <leo-unglaub> he is a gread gui :)
[02:44] <leo-unglaub> i we met sometimes, i buy you a beer
[02:44] <leo-unglaub> if we met
[02:44] <Jonta> Beer license woo!
[02:45] <leo-unglaub> alter GLP the best license ever :)
[02:45] <leo-unglaub> GPL
[02:45] <leo-unglaub> damn typos :)
[02:46] <Emiru> to install windows on a given partition, how do I create that partition ?
[02:46] <Jonta> Emiru: GParted?
[02:47] <maestrojed> I guess this "application" is not what ubuntu would consider an application. its minecraft server which is a java file. Maybe my home directory is a better spot for it?
[02:47] <Emiru> Jonta: oh right ! I never did this before, is it intuitive or do I really need a tutorial ?
[02:48] <Jonta> Emiru: Meh, tutorial isn't really that complex. Have a look, and then a try (:
[02:48] <Emiru> Jonta: All right thanks ! :) I need windows back for Comp science :P
[02:48] <Jonta> maestrojed: Are you trying to install it, or trying to find it?
[02:49] <maestrojed> Jonta trying to figure out the best practices of where to put files like this. I initially was going to put it in /usr/bin but then I need to run it as root. Now I am thinking ~ but I would like to know where you or others would put it
[02:50] <Jonta> Hm, standard is iirc 4 different places for bins
[02:50] <lalaland1125> maestrojed: Personal programs should be places in /usr/local. There is a bin directory, lib directory, include directory etc
[02:51] <maestrojed> Jonta lalaland1125 ok, but even /usr/local/bin is owned/group by root
[02:51] <psychx-> Sorry for this question, but I'm using Lubuntu; and I'm trying to figure out how to find my network information (ip, gateway, etc.) Can someone please enlighten me?
[02:51] <lalaland1125> maestrojed: Use sudo and install.
[02:51] <maestrojed> Jonta lalaland1125 and it seems if I create a destop launcher for it that it won't work. Because I have not used sudo.
[02:52] <xangua> psychx-: clic on the network indicator and select Details
[02:52] <sharpK> what is "/." btw?
[02:52] <maestrojed> lalaland1125 yeah, I know, I can run the server. I have been. I just feel like I have it in the wrong spot or don't get something because I can't create a launcher, etc.
[02:52] <sharpK> I mean "./"...?
[02:53] <lalaland1125> ./ is the current directory.
[02:53] <Jonta> Aka .
[02:53] <psychx-> xangua: I don't see any details option on the network indicator. It shows: Wired Connection 2, Disconnect, and VPN Connections. When I click on Wired Connection 2, it just refreshes (seems like its reconnecting to this connection)
[02:53] <maestrojed> lalaland1125 and this is specific. But I generally feel like I put stuff in the wrong place. I was putting stuff in /usr/bin, I will start using /usr/local/bin
[02:53] <lalaland1125> maestrojed: Yeah, that would be the right place.
[02:53] <psychx-> xangua: NVM, I figured it out. Thanks :)
[02:53] <maestrojed> lalaland1125 thx
[02:54] <lalaland1125> maestrojed: YOu might also want to look into checkinstall to make a package from a regular 'make install'
[02:54] <xangua> psychx-: then try ifconfig on terminal
[02:54] <maestrojed> lalaland1125 I will look that up, thx
[02:55] <CarlFK> maestrojed: what is the name of the .jar?
[02:57] <psychx-> xangua: I'm setting a static IP address. How do I know what "net mask" to use? I tabbed out of it and it defaulted to "24".
[02:57] <psychx-> xangua: I already set my IP, Gateway, and DNS settings.
[02:58] <CarlFK> psychx-: if you don't know, 24 is good.
[02:58] <psychx-> CarlFK: Ok, thank you!
[02:58] <CarlFK> psychx-: you would want a smaller number if there were 100's of machines on your lan
[02:59] <psychx-> CarlFK: Oh, ok. I have probably about 9 or so devices using my lan.
[02:59] <Oleg_> what do you think about the Unity DE? Is it good or bad?
[02:59] <reisio> it is
[02:59] <tensorpudding> unity discussion should go elsewhere
[03:00] <tensorpudding> unless you're asking for help with it
[03:01] <CarlFK> psychx-:  all the machines on your lan will be in the same IP range, the netmask defines that range.  2 boxes in the same range can send packets to each other, outside the range and they get sent to the gateway IP (router)
[03:01] <Braden`> I created a package with alien.  It only got through halfway installing
[03:01] <Braden`> How do I remove it?
[03:01] <Braden`> I tried purge from aptitude but it errors out
[03:02] <psychx-> CarlFK: Ah, ok. Great to know. I have been experimenting with my network and have added a 2nd wireless router in the opposite side of my home so that I have great signal everywhere. But regardless, thanks for the info!
[03:02] <maestrojed> CarlFK minecraft_server.jar :)
[03:02] <Jonta> :/
[03:04] <Braden`> Anyone?
[03:04] <sharpK> how do I exectue an executable? The GUI says there is no application installed for executable file?
[03:04] <sharpK> must I terminal?
[03:04] <Jonta> sharpK: Depends on wm
[03:05] <a1> heh, anyone can help me? i have problem with android update under ubuntu, #android is locked ( i canot join)
[03:05] <CarlFK> maestrojed: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Setting_up_a_server#Ubuntu
[03:05] <Jonta> sharpK: In GNOME you can probably Alt+F2 it
[03:05] <reisio> a1: /msg nickserv help register
[03:05] <reisio> a1: /msg nickserv help identify
[03:06] <Braden`> I created a package with alien.  It only got through halfway installing.  How do I remove it?  I tried purge from aptitude but it errors out
[03:06] <psychx-> a1: If you do what reisio said you will be creating and logging into an account on this server, and will be able to join that channel.
[03:06] <aking1012> so has anyone else played with ubuntu on the beagleboard?
[03:07] <maestrojed> CarlFK yeah man, Thank you. I was just trying to figure out how files are organized in ubuntu. I gotta a better understanding now
[03:07] <sharpK> hmm, saying permissiion denied when I just enter it into terminal and press enter
[03:07] <CarlFK> maestrojed: yeah, I thought there was a ppa that had the jar already packaged.. but maybe not.
[03:07] <sharpK> even with chmod 544
[03:07] <luc_andre> Has anyone replaced Empathy with Pidgin and gotten Pidgin integrated in Unity?
[03:08] <Emiru> anyone has a link on how to install (safely) win7 from a 100% ubuntu hard drive ?
[03:08] <aking1012> pidgin is the default in xubuntu
[03:08] <reisio> Emiru: as in Ubuntu takes up the entire hard disk?
[03:08] <Emiru> reisio: yes ubuntu is the only os I have
[03:09] <maestrojed> CarlFK yeah, I was just trying to make a launcher for it, now I just wanna play so I stopped fudging with it and loaded it with good ole CLI :)
[03:09] <reisio> Emiru: you'd need to resize your Ubuntu partitions with something like gparted
[03:09] <aking1012> Emiru: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions first
[03:09] <reisio> Emiru: which is fairly safe, but not 100% the safest thing ever
[03:09] <lalaland1125> maestrojed: This is the general filesystem idea: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
[03:09] <aking1012> then install windows normally...then re-install grub
[03:10] <reisio> Emiru: to make some disk space to install Window to, at least 20GB
[03:10] <reisio> reinstalling grub: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[03:10] <Emiru> reisio: Im going to put it on 100gb aking1012: thanks for the link !
[03:10] <reisio> Emiru: ah, then you won't even need to resize
[03:10] <reisio> Emiru: just install and reinstall grub
[03:10] <aking1012> +1
[03:10] <reisio> Emiru: oh wait did you mean 100gb _partition_? :p
[03:10] <reisio> yes then resizing :p
[03:11] <Emiru> reisio: yeah :P
[03:11] <maestrojed> lalaland1125 nice, I always wondered why /etc was called /etc :)
[03:11] <Braden`> How do you force remove a package?
[03:11] <Emiru> but to reinstall grub im required to boot form boot-repair and on the link you sent me it said boot on a live CD
[03:12] <reisio> maestrojed: because et_cetera is too long
[03:12] <reisio> Emiru: your Ubuntu install CD
[03:12] <aking1012> Emiru: yes just boot live/or whatever....then select rescue console and chroot during install process
[03:12] <maestrojed> reisio :)
[03:12] <bc81> hello. what's the terminal command to "safely remove" a USB drive, so that it is removed from nautilus' side pane?  sudo umount /media/usbdrive unmounts, but it still remains in the side pane..
[03:13] <aking1012> it doesn't matter if it's in the side pane...
[03:13] <aking1012> 'sync && umount /dev/whatever'
[03:13] <Auriga> Question, I'm using a netbook with Gnome3 on it. The screen is too small for some windows, right now an install screen has the bottons obscured by the screen being small & I can't hit the next button... Any ideas on what to do?
[03:13] <aking1012> use xfce instead of gnome
[03:13] <reisio> bc81: why not right click its entry in Nautilus?
[03:13] <Emiru> aking1012 reisio: All good ! thanks guys ill do this now
[03:13] <almoxarife> bc81: showing as 'unmounted' or as mounted?
[03:14] <aking1012> it just didn't refresh
[03:14] <aking1012> df will show you if it's mounted
[03:14] <bc81> reisio, i'd like to incorperate this "safely remove" functionality into a script (for automation)
[03:14] <aking1012> sync will force it to flush writes
[03:14] <Braden`> Does anyone know the answer to my query?
[03:15] <reisio> Braden`: the answer is: what is your query
[03:15] <CarlFK> bc81: eject
[03:15] <aking1012> he wants to 'safely' force remove a package
[03:15] <bc81> almoxarife: it's unmounted just fine...but with the "safely remove" function (nautils's side pane > right click device > safely remove) it disappears.
[03:16] <Braden`> I dunno about safely
[03:16] <Braden`> I just want it off the list
[03:16] <Braden`> So it stops alerting me that a package failed to install everytime I run apt
[03:16] <bc81> CarlFK: eject does the same thing as umount, in that the device remains in nautilus' side pane (which i'd like to avoid for the purposes of the script
[03:22] <trism> Auriga: generally you can alt+left-click the window and drag it around
[03:23] <tabunet> Hi good evening from Spain, sorry for my little english!

[03:29] <x_> why does conky show a see through of my log in screen underneath it ....
[03:29] <godofmischief> how can i exit the xserver to do a video driver update manually? and when i get out and run the driver installer, it pops up with this blue window with the ok option, ive done this int he past but can't remember what key i have to use to select ok with
[03:29] <godofmischief> any help would be much appreciated
[03:29] <x_> godofmischief, tab?
[03:29] <godofmischief> x_ tried that, didn't seem to work maybe that is it tho idk.
[03:30] <godofmischief> x_: i had a problem either way cause the xserver was running when i did it, so that might work with the xserver shutdown
[03:30] <Gunz4MiPPle> godofmischief: you mean, how to get to a virtual terminal and stop/start x?
[03:31] <godofmischief> i can run a virtual terminal with ctrl atl f2 and ctrl f7 switches back to my xserver session, so yes, once ive dropped down to a terminal mode how do i kill the running xserver
[03:31] <reisio> godofmischief: tab, left/right arrow keys, or space
[03:31] <reisio> godofmischief: either sudo service lightdm stop or s/lightdm/gdm/
[03:32] <godofmischief> other then ps -A then kill ID
[03:32] <aking1012> sudo init 3 should get you to not a gui....pretty sure ubuntu still launches X there though
[03:32] <godofmischief> thanks all of u, im about to drop back out and try that
[03:34] <x_> why does conky show a see through of my log in screen underneath it ....
[03:40] <Tonk-IRC> #Dirkocraft.com

[03:54] <jjjrmy> Help please
[03:54] <naryfa> what's up
[03:54] <jjjrmy> naryfa: Well can you help with Ubuntu Server?
[03:54] <naryfa> nope, nothing about servers
[03:55] <naryfa> sowwy
[03:55] <somsip> !ask |jjjrmy
[03:55] <jjjrmy> I don't have a gui or anything.
[03:55] <somsip> jjjrmy: what is the specific problem
[03:55] <Peablog> How can I install Make 3.82 on Ubuntu 9.10?
[03:56] <jjjrmy> somsip: I have no GUI and I need to put some php files on here and import a database.
[03:56] <jjjrmy> But I don't know how.
[03:56] <somsip> jjjrmy: what access do you have to the machine?
[03:56] <jjjrmy> somsip: sudo
[03:56] <tensorpudding> Peablog, why
[03:56] <jjjrmy> somsip: I just installed Ubuntu Server.
[03:57] <somsip> jjjrmy: do you have pysical access to it or is it a remote server?
[03:57] <tensorpudding> 3.82 is really new
[03:57] <jjjrmy> somsip: it's in my lap right now
[03:57] <jjjrmy> somsip: Can we talk in PM?
[03:57] <tensorpudding> is it not
[03:57] <somsip> jjjrmy: and where are the PHP files
[03:57] <jjjrmy> on my FTP/Webserver
[03:57] <jjjrmy> I need a offline server so I can show it at a presentation without wifi.
[03:58] <tensorpudding> oh wait, it isn't, meh
[03:58] <tensorpudding> from july
[03:58] <somsip> jjjrmy: have you setup the webserver software (usually Apache, PHP and MySQL)?
[03:58] <tensorpudding> but it hasn't been put in debian sid yet
[03:58] <jjjrmy> somsip: I just click LAMP.
[03:58] <Peablog> To install a testing "The Mana World server", so I can contribute.
[03:58] <somsip> jjjrmy:  and are they setup?
[03:59] <jjjrmy> somsip: I don't know!
[03:59] <tensorpudding> Peablog, why do you need make 3.82 for that
[03:59] <tensorpudding> it's almost surely the case that 3.81 will be sufficient to build it
[03:59] <somsip> jjjrmy: do you have a text-based browser installed? links, lynx or others
[04:00] <jjjrmy> somsip: Keeps saying "Couldn't find package links" when I try to install anything
[04:00] <tensorpudding> it's inconceivable that the makefile will use features that are not included in 3.81 given that 3.82 released less than half a year ago, and 3.81 was the stable version for nearly five years
[04:01] <somsip> jjjrmy: so what stage are you actually at with this? It seems like you're well before the stage of being ready to copy PHP files over
[04:01] <jjjrmy> somsip: The install said it's done. I'm on a black screen and logged into sudo.
[04:01] <somsip> jjjrmy: so what did you mean when you said
[04:02] <somsip> jjjrmy: ...Couldn't find package links?
[04:02] <jjjrmy> I type in "sudo apt-get install cowsay" and it says "E: Couldn't find package cowsay
[04:03] <somsip> jjjrmy: and what is package cowsay?
[04:03] <reisio> its' for what apt-get moo
[04:03] <reisio> does
[04:03] <jjjrmy> no packages work
[04:04] <somsip> jjjrmy: do you have internet connection?
[04:04] <Peablog> When I get to the step "make" using these instructions: http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/How_to_Develop it fails with make 3.81-6
[04:04] <jjjrmy> somsip: I have wifi, yeah
[04:04] <somsip> jjjrmy: so all you have done is a virgin install of ubuntu server and that's as far as you've got?
[04:05] <lenswipe> anyone around
[04:05] <jjjrmy> somsip: yeah
[04:05]  * imnichol is away: Away
[04:05] <tensorpudding> Peablog, what's the error
[04:05] <somsip> jjjrmy: sudo apt-get update, what's the response?
[04:06] <tensorpudding> did you run the step that it says to do if you have an older version of make
[04:06] <jjjrmy> somsip: "Some index files failed to download..."
[04:07] <somsip> jjjrmy: can you connect to the internet?
[04:08] <jjjrmy> somsip: I don't know how.
[04:08] <somsip> jjjrmy: ping www.google.com
[04:08] <jjjrmy> somsip: "unkown host google.com"
[04:08] <somsip> jjjrmy: ifconfig
[04:08] <somsip> jjjrmy: sorry, iwconfig for wifi I think
[04:09] <jjjrmy> what am I looking for?
[04:09] <jjjrmy> ESSID:off/any
[04:09] <somsip> jjjrmy: a response that tells us something
[04:09] <jjjrmy> Access Point: Not-Associated
[04:09] <Peablog> tensorpudding:I am in process of redoing to get the error again.......
[04:10] <somsip> jjjrmy: ok - looks like you have an isue with the wifi connection which I know nothing about. i'm going to have to leave it to someone else
[04:10] <rigel> so is there any way to make networkmanager connect to an alternative network when it sees a particular one in the list, or do i need to get networkmanagerdispatcher to disconnect and then reconnect to the alternate one
[04:10] <somsip> jjjrmy: or does it have a wired network socket you can use?
[04:11] <jjjrmy> somsip: no
[04:11] <rigel> sorry, let me try and be more clear. can i make network manager connect to HiddenNetwork whenever it sees PublicGuestNetwork
[04:12] <somsip> jjjrmy: I'm guessing that ubuntu-server has different support for wireless compared to desktop edition. No idea. I know nothing wireless. So you'll need to get someone else on this for you
[04:12] <ranjan> hi all, how can i make ubuntu authenticate to an LDAP Server(389 DS)
[04:12] <reisio> rigel: terms you'd want are wardriving and piggybacking, AIUI
[04:12] <rigel> i am going to be using networkmanagerdispatcher anyhow to automatically set up my tunnels, but i cant figure out how to do that
[04:12] <rigel> reisio: wat?
[04:12] <rigel> i am not wardriving
[04:12] <reisio> rigel: sounded like you wanted to be
[04:13] <rigel> i simply cant get networkmanager to automatically connect to my work's hidden network
[04:13] <reisio> ah
[04:13] <x_> how can I have a terminal as a desktop background im on xfce.
[04:13] <rigel> so i want to tell it that whenever it sees GuestNetwork, it should instead connect to HiddenNetwork
[04:13] <rigel> because the guest wifi is public
[04:13] <rigel> also slow as balls
[04:14] <reisio> x_: your nick is unhelpfully short :p
[04:14] <rigel> and has a javascript TOU page
[04:14] <ranjan> hi all, how can i make ubuntu authenticate to an LDAP Server(389 DS)
[04:14] <reisio> x_: you'd probably have to stop xfdesktop from running
[04:14] <rigel> sorry, let me try and be more clear. can i make network manager connect to HiddenNetwork whenever it sees PublicGuestNetwork
[04:15] <x_> reisio, is that a good idea?
[04:15] <reisio> x_: if you don't use xfdesktop
[04:15] <reisio> can't imagine you would if you want to cover the desktop in a terminal
[04:15] <reisio> all it does is manages the wallpaper, icons, right-click menu
[04:15] <reisio> stuff you probably wouldn't be using
[04:16] <reisio> x_: Settings > Session and Startup > Session (tab) > xfdesktop - Restart Style: Never
[04:17] <Peablog> Am I suposed to do this all at once useing all the characters including the {} ?  mkdir -p obj/{common,login,char,map,ladmin,tool}
[04:17] <reisio> Peablog: probably
[04:18] <reisio> Peablog: no doubt tells it to make each of those dirs
[04:18] <reisio> probably a Bash thing
[04:18] <somsip> reisio: zactly
[04:18] <x_> reisio, http://imageshack.us/f/717/screenshot1130201111170.png/ is what I wan't it to look like. but with the left being part of the desktop, but I can just use it this way with a terminal resized if it's alot easier. what will killing xfdesktop do exactly ?
[04:18] <reisio> somsip: knower of things!
[04:18] <coolstar> Is it possible to use C imports (gtk 3) in C++?
[04:18] <reisio> x_: cute
[04:18] <somsip> reisio: misplaced flattery... :)
[04:18] <coolstar> I'm using the G++ compiler
[04:18] <cipherboy> Question all about gnome-classic (using fluxbox now, won't be able to test): I have multiple workspaces set up (from 11.04 when I upgraded to 11.10, thinking it was a bad idea now.. >.>), but when I try and move a window to a different workspace (either by dragging or ctrl+alt+shift+arrow), it goes over, the screen flickers, then I see the empty workspace and switching back to the other one shows that my window is still over there
[04:19] <x_> reisio, sort of... do you notice how on my conky the login screen of all things is bleeding through ?
[04:19] <reisio> x_: as I said, it will keep Xfce from managing the desktop for wallpapers, icons, and its right-click menu (on the desktop)
[04:19] <reisio> x_: things you probably won't want
[04:19] <reisio> can't make it out on that shrunken image
[04:19] <coolstar> Is it possible to use C imports (gtk, webkit) in C++ using the g++ compiler?
[04:19] <reisio> I think imageshack resizes uploads by default now, you have to uncheck the box
[04:20] <aking1012> reisio: have you had an issue with binary drivers crashing on pre-alpha?
[04:20] <cipherboy> Anyone have ideas?
[04:20] <x_> reisio, it's like the dots from the login screen.. if I had it on the left. it would show ubuntu 11.10 like the login screen is under my desktop but conky shows it....
[04:20] <coolstar> Anyone?
[04:20] <reisio> aking1012: don't use Ubuntu much, ask the channel, or better yet explain what problem YOU have had
[04:21] <arooni-mobile> i have 11.10; i'm plugged in via ethernet.  how do i create a wireless network that allows other devices to connect (and share) my connection?
[04:21] <detrix42> hi, I thought I would try openbox desktop.  The file manager Thunar, has no Icons. How do I fix that?
[04:21] <reisio> arooni-mobile: sure your hardware does that?
[04:21] <aking1012> er...on pre-alpha AMD/ATI drivers don't properly save settings if you EVER log in to the gnome3 desktop...works fine as long as you don't touch ubuntu's custom er...stuff(and that's a kinder word than i would like to use)
[04:22] <reisio> detrix42: openbox is just a window manager
[04:22] <reisio> detrix42: Thunar is Xfce's file manager, Xfce gets its desktop icons from xfdesktop
[04:22] <cipherboy> detrix42: you might need gnome2 components for icons.
[04:22] <reisio> detrix42: you might want to use something lighter
[04:22] <reisio> like um...
[04:22] <cipherboy> detrix42: nvmind, listen to someone else. :P
[04:22] <reisio> idesk
[04:22] <arooni-mobile> reisio, dont know;  have Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 and gigabit ethernet
[04:23] <xaka> if i have dbg version of library, how i can tell to executable use it instead of non-dbg?
[04:23] <cipherboy> xaka: you compiling said executable yourself, or not?
[04:24] <xaka> cipherboy: not, it's provided by ubuntu repos
[04:24] <cipherboy> xaka: not sure then.
[04:24] <xaka> i remember there was something like LD_xxx=xxx, but i forgot
[04:25] <x_> reisio, any idea what would cause a program to show parts of the login screen though?
[04:25] <reisio> the lightdm login screen?
[04:26] <robinsch> hi
[04:26] <cipherboy> x_: slowness? can get windows to show previous windows (different workspaces) when computer is running slowly
[04:26] <reisio> robinsch: hi
[04:26] <cipherboy> robinsch: hello
[04:26] <x_> cipherboy, what do you mean slowness?
[04:26] <x_> oh
[04:26] <cipherboy> x_ most people probably don't have slow computers. >.> Sorry, have to drop
[04:26] <x_> cipherboy, but it's running fine! just conky shows parts of the login screen.
[04:27] <cipherboy> x_: need to set up conky again.
[04:27] <cipherboy> have to drop
[04:27] <x_> k.
[04:27] <arooni-mobile> i have 11.10; i'm plugged in via ethernet.  how do i create a wireless network that allows other devices to connect (and share) my connection?   i have a thinkpad t420; with a Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 wireless card;
[04:27] <aking1012> xaka: I think you're talking about LD_PRELOAD

[04:30] <x_> yea it was in my conky config, changed something and fixed it.
[04:31] <niftylettuce> Difficult problem maybe an expert in here could solve... I've got my graphics all working with i915 and a few kernel options e.g. i915.semaphores=1 amongst others for power management.  Now my only issue with graphics is that I can't seem to get WebGL working properly.  I've attached output from `$ sudo lspci -k` here (https://gist.github.com/b8c83d2ee0ed841b79af) and I've already followed instruc
[04:31] <niftylettuce> tions for enabling WebGL using Chrome's `about:flags` section (e.g. enable webgl on unsupported graphics cards).
[04:33] <kcm1700> I need help configuring my ld.so.conf. I get "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory" message. When I set LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, it works fine.
[04:33] <robinsch> I had no errors during cdemu install
[04:34] <almoxarife> can someone explain to me what a 'backport' is?
[04:34] <kcm1700> Since I don't want to set environment variables liek LIBRARY_PATH or somethng,
[04:35] <kcm1700> please tell me how to make /bin/ld recognize the path of crt1.o using ld.so.conf

[04:36] <robinsch> reisio: yes yoda
[04:36] <dr_willis> after addig a path to ld.so.conf you need to run some command to update the ld path/cache i recall
[04:37] <robinsch> should I rephrase my question
[04:38] <Corigo> ... So I ran some updates last Friday, and after reboot my block device in ./dev/ was removed thus destroying my FStab mapping. Any idea why my dev mapping would be removed during a simple software update?
[04:39] <dr_willis> Corigo:  what exactly got removed
[04:40] <argos20> how do i change my boot screen i have windows 7 and ubuntu 11..
[04:40] <dr_willis> !plymouth | argos20
[04:41] <aking1012> plymouth and grub can both be customized
[04:41] <dr_willis> is the bot gone or lagged?
[04:41] <aking1012> btw...i got my issue sorted by permanently saving my xfce session and not letting ubuntu pooch it on every reboot
[04:41] <dr_willis> or called in for a snow day...
[04:42] <robinsch> ok i removed my installation of cdemu, I am going to try and install about
[04:42] <dr_willis> !info cdemu
[04:43]  * dr_willis looks for the bot under the couch
[04:44] <arooni-mobile> i have 11.10; i'm plugged in via ethernet.  how do i create a wireless network that allows other devices to connect (and share) my connection?   i have a thinkpad t420; with a Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 wireless card;   i have already tried 2-3 guides
[04:45] <dr_willis> arooni-mobile:  the ubuntu help wiki page have a guide on setting up 'internet connection shareing'
[04:45] <fructose> Anyone know how to get Banshee to play songs off Last.fm? I've logged in, but don't see a way to actually tell it to play
[04:46] <dr_willis> if i recall. not all wireless cards/drivers can do the ad-hoc network featurs. that mey be the issue
[04:46] <aking1012> arooni: it's simple...you just need ipv4_forward = 1 and dhcpd
[04:46] <aking1012> oh and softAP
[04:47] <dr_willis> bbl
[04:48] <Emiru> gosh I hate windows so much
[04:48] <reisio> ^
[04:48] <Emiru> reisio: I have to re-install windows fully and then install ubnutu again
[04:48] <Emiru> Recovery DVDs dont allow you to choose partition
[04:49] <utahsaint365> !list
[04:49] <utahsaint365> oops
[04:50] <robinsch> found a working guide on fendora forums for cdemu
[04:50] <reisio> Emiru: why do you need to do that?
[04:50] <niftylettuce> I narrowed down my problem, DRI is not properly installed - now how do I install it?
[04:51] <Emiru> reisio: I need it for computer science in school, they want windows 7
[04:51] <niftylettuce> here is output where I found DRI wasn't installed https://gist.github.com/3043fb57efbc68e2ceea
[04:51] <esy86> ubuntu installed. but ubuntu is good?
[04:51] <reisio> Emiru: did they say why?
[04:51] <reisio> Emiru: you can probably just ignore them
[04:51] <reisio> Emiru: or install it in a VM
[04:51] <niftylettuce> any change someone could lend a hand... :)?
[04:52] <Braden`> I deleted all the files caused by a faulty package install.  apt still reports that its partially installed (which is incorrect).  How do I remove it from apt?
[04:52] <esy86> yes VM
[04:52] <reisio> Emiru: or both
[04:52] <Emiru> reisio: I think I will for now, classes begins in a month :P
[04:52] <reisio> Emiru: they said they wanted 7 specifically? :p
[04:52] <Emiru> yeah Vbox is an option too
[04:52] <Corigo> drwillis: the filesystem mount point
[04:52] <fructose> Anyone know how to get Banshee to play songs off Last.fm? I've logged in, but don't see a way to actually tell it to play
[04:52] <reisio> yeah unless you're doing real low level stuff, a VM should be fine
[04:52] <Emiru> reisio: well, they sell their on computer so they try to make you buy it (which I never will D:)
[04:53] <Emiru> and that computer has win7 so they want win7 for the rest too
[04:53] <reisio> Emiru: remember it needs 20GB to install (though it doesn't actually take up that much space)
[04:53] <reisio> Emiru: rofl, of course
[04:53] <reisio> fullscreen VirtualBox looks the same as installed to metal :p
[04:53] <reisio> Emiru: course if you're doing compilation it'll take longer virtualized
[04:54] <Emiru> reisio: Yeah im going to put enough space for it, but Im not sure if all the softwares Ill need will be available on ubuntu
[04:54] <reisio> Emiru: equivalents will be, but they'll probably make you use awful things
[04:54] <Emiru> reisio: I think we start with Java, C#, web dev and thats about it
[04:55] <reisio> Emiru: well Ubuntu has those
[04:55] <reisio> Emiru: but they might make you learn proprietary nonsense
[04:55] <niftylettuce> reisio: any change u could take a peak at my earlier msg?
[04:55] <Emiru> reisio: they use MS Visual Studio 2010 for C#, C++, ASP.NET and VB.NET
[04:55] <Emiru> well, they want to do so
[04:56] <Emiru> want us *
[04:56] <reisio> yeah :p
[04:56] <reisio> Emiru: when they aren't watching you can use Ubuntu's tools and get more work done :p
[04:56] <reisio> Java is cross platform, gcc is a great C++ compiler, and mono does the rest
[04:56] <gast2root> where can i find xvidcap config file?
[04:56] <Emiru> reisio: What has to world become, we have to hide to be better :P
[04:57] <Braden`> I deleted all the files caused by a faulty package install.  apt still reports that its partially installed (which is incorrect).  How do I remove it from apt?
[04:57] <reisio> gast2root: ls -a ~/
[04:57] <reisio> Emiru: you probably don't
[04:57] <reisio> Emiru: I doubt anyone is going to check what OS you're using, or software
[04:57] <reisio> Emiru: it's possible however there will be an assignment to utilize some proprietary API or library
[04:57] <reisio> Emiru: which _could_ be problematic with just Ubuntu
[04:57] <reisio> can probably play it by ear
[04:57] <Emiru> reisio: Yeah me too, most people there dont know much about computers
[04:58] <gast2root> reisio: does not show
[04:58] <Emiru> Ill borrow my brother's computer then :P
[04:58] <reisio> gast2root: maybe you don't have a user specific one, then
[04:58] <reisio> gast2root: dpkg -L xvidcap | grep etc
[04:58] <n2diy> Do Ubuntu FIrefox version numbers correspond with Firefox's version numbers? I'm running version 3.6.24 here on Xubuntu 10.10, and a webmaster is telling me the latest version is 8.x
[04:59] <OerHeks> i thought xvidcap is a commandline utility, no config ?
[04:59] <gast2root> Oerheks: its gui from software centre
[05:00] <gast2root> reisio: cant find the file, tried /etc too..µ
[05:00] <almoxarife> I am a hybrid user of ubuntu/kubuntu, kubuntu itself confuses me, too many options and ubuntu/gnome3 don't have enough, so I use some of both, I get errors with some kubuntu apps that make me think I don't have enough of the backbone installed, so, which app would provide me with the most of the backbone without a full blown kubuntu install??
[05:01] <coolstar> dir
[05:01] <coolstar> what can i di
[05:02] <aking1012> n2diy: the joys of being on LTS
[05:02] <aking1012> you're actually running an old version with some backported security fixes
[05:03] <Braden`> I deleted all the files caused by a faulty package install.  apt still reports that its partially installed (which is incorrect).  How do I remove it from apt?
[05:03] <amit> hii
[05:03] <aking1012> hi amit.
[05:04] <Corigo> So, again, I setup a software RAID, set a file system mount point in /dev/ then a week later I ran the suggested updates, and after the reboot my moint point was missing. Any idea why this would happen?
[05:04] <aking1012> apt-get had a -f or -F option once
[05:04] <almoxarife> Braden`: what did you initially install?
[05:04] <amit> how can I permanently install windows xp using virtualbox in ubuntu oneiric?? I installed it but when i opened and closed virtualbox I had to reinstall it
[05:05] <genoobie> bbl
[05:05] <genoobie> nite all
[05:08] <OerHeks> gast2root $HOME/.xvidcap.scf
[05:09] <dr_willis> amit:  you may wnat to check the vbox manual. you must be doing something  wrong.
[05:10] <aking1012> lolz @ 'you're doin it wrong'
[05:10] <amit> dr_willis, I dont know// maybe I have to save the state??
[05:11] <dr_willis> :-)
[05:11] <OerHeks> i guess you have to unmount the installation media, else setup will start
[05:11] <dr_willis> amit:  ive never had to do anything  special to get it working
[05:12] <dr_willis> yea. do eject the iso after install. :-)
[05:12] <almoxarife> amit: assuming you installed anything thru virtualbox, it created a vdi partion. that vdi won't disappear unless you delete it specifically
[05:12] <amit> dr_willis, I did install and yeah I left the iso there
[05:12] <amit> maybe that was the problem
[05:14] <dr_willis> you can find vbox xp images online.  but thats nit really legal. :-)
[05:15] <dr_willis> but some have some handy tweaks and setups. not needed  one in years.
[05:16] <x_> cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name" | cut -d ":" -f2      how do I cut that output down to 1 line please :-)
[05:16] <niftylettuce>  hmm DRI is looking for i965.so but I am using i915 drivers... should I just make a symlink from i965.so to i915.so?
[05:16] <x_> the output of that I mean.
[05:18] <PentiumIII> Hello, I'm having trouble dealing with my docking station 10.10
[05:18] <niftylettuce> its trying to use DRI driver i965 instead of i915, is there a simple command to change this?
[05:19] <make> i mount ipod on ubuntu.but file system only read? how to write?
[05:19] <PentiumIII>   make:  is your iPod mac or windows formatted?

[05:28] <Corigo> best way to set root password?
[05:28] <somsip> !noroot | Corigo
[05:28] <make> Corigo: sudo passwd root
[05:29] <pp7> i got told off earlier today for suggesting that :P
[05:29] <somsip> Corigo: it is not a recommended approach.
[05:29] <Flannel> Corigo: there's really no need to set a root password.
[05:29] <Flannel> make: and I agree, if you're going to tell that to someone, be sure to fully explain its reprocussions.
[05:30] <Corigo> well aware
[05:30] <pp7> and what are the repercussions of sudo passwd root?
[05:31] <make> Filannel:I know the rules. Later with the
[05:31] <seanzy> since i updated to 11.10 my maudio ozone sound card stopped working. can anyone help?
[05:32] <pp7> seanzy: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+maudio+ozone+sound+card
[05:33] <PentiumIII> Hello, I'm having trouble with my docking station Ubuntu 10.10, Dell Latitude CPx with C/Port II
[05:34] <dr_willis> seanzy:  does it work from the live cd?
[05:34] <moyoy1> seanzy, try here: http://dharmendralinuxdiary.blogspot.com/2011/10/ubuntu-1110-sound-problem.html
[05:34] <anykey> limited user dreams to be root, root dreams to be Chuck Norris.
[05:34] <moyoy1> All that does is makes sure your system is up to date, and then reinstalls a bunch of sound stuff
[05:35] <PentiumIII> anykey: I like it!!
[05:39] <rigel> so nm calls wpa_supplicant or something to scan?
[05:40] <rigel> im trying to figure out what the process is for nm deciding to connect to a particular network
[05:40] <Peablog> tensorpudding: seems like I did not need most resent "make" but most resent "git".  Looks like server installed.
[05:44] <Hephaestus|Wins> Alright. I am not entirely sure how to approach asking for assistance with this very troubling issue.
[05:44] <reisio> that's a start
[05:45] <Hephaestus|Wins> I am booting up the Live AMD64 CD image (from USB, but same thing happens from DVD-ROM, so its not a medium error).
[05:46] <Hephaestus|Wins> Immediately upon pushing enter, once the kernel and initial ramdisk areloaded, I get a blackscreen, and the system proceeds to boot.
[05:46] <Hephaestus|Wins> I can even hear it log itself into the desktop.
[05:46] <Hephaestus|Wins> I tried forcing the framebuffer to turn off with fb=false, as well as forcing VGA mode boot with vga=normal, to no avail.
[05:47] <Braden`> I deleted all the files caused by a faulty package install.  apt still reports that its partially installed (which is incorrect).  How do I remove it from apt?
[05:47] <Hephaestus|Wins> I have Slackware, Debian, SuSE, Fedora, and a few others installed, NONE of them exhibit this behavior.
[05:47] <rumpe1> Hephaestus|Wins, try deactivating acpi with "noacpi"
[05:47] <Hephaestus|Wins> Did it. No effect.
[05:47] <poshe> if I'm using ubuntu, am I supposed to download generic or debian software?
[05:48] <sn00p> Hello, I am having problems with ubuntu the latest release     with my external monitor it keeps blanking on me its not turning off it just blanks like a black screen I have to replug it in in order to get it back and I have all the screen savers dim off and power management off anybody have any ideas?
[05:48] <Hephaestus|Wins> i believe it to be an issue with kernel-mode DRM
[05:48] <Hephaestus|Wins> as Knoppix exhibits this behavior unless i specify nodrm on the kernel commandline.
[05:49] <hacker888> Enter text here...
[05:49] <Hephaestus|Wins> Question is: How do I forcibly turn off DRM? I can see no boot options in the documentation that disable kernel mode DRM
[05:49] <Hephaestus|Wins> and possibly kernel modesetting.
[05:49] <poshe> is ubuntu generic or debian?
[05:49] <administartor> hi
[05:50] <hacker888> what is this place???????????????//
[05:50] <administartor> I run Linux Debian on VirtualBox :)
[05:50] <Braden`> I deleted all the files caused by a faulty package install.  apt still reports that its partially installed (which is incorrect).  How do I remove it from apt?
[05:50] <zomgattax> this is irc hell
[05:50] <zomgattax> welcome
[05:50] <hacker888> yes
[05:50] <hacker888> lol
[05:50] <zomgattax> irc distracts me from so much actual work
[05:51] <hacker888> Cambodia chat using Mibbit is much better
[05:51] <administartor> please give me any link with tutorial for linux DOS :)
[05:51] <zomgattax> i'm using x-chat now on ubuntu
[05:51] <Hephaestus|Wins> linuxdos? lol.
[05:52] <administartor> yes
[05:52] <administartor> linux commands...
[05:53] <administartor> Terminal
[05:53] <somsip> administartor: it's BASH
[05:53] <administartor> bash? not batch?
[05:55] <Hephaestus|Wins> wow.
[05:55] <sn00p> Hello, I am having problems with ubuntu the latest release     with my external monitor it keeps blanking on me its not turning off it just blanks like a black screen I have to replug it in in order to get it back and I have all the screen savers dim off and power management off anybody have any ideas?
[05:55] <Hephaestus|Wins> ubuntu's wiki is worthless lol
[05:55] <Hephaestus|Wins> has 0 information.
[05:55] <Hephaestus|Wins> just a bunch of press bs
[05:56] <sinisterstuf> tried the archwiki?
[05:56] <zomgattax> i'm using the external monitor now on 11.10
[05:56] <Hephaestus|Wins> how is one supposed to find information if there exists no central place for ubuntu info? o.O
[05:56] <zomgattax> haven't had any problems in about 4 hours
[05:56] <sn00p> zomgattax, what did you do to fix it?
[05:56] <zomgattax> let me rephrase
[05:57] <Braden`> I deleted all the files caused by a faulty package install.  apt still reports that its partially installed (which is incorrect).  How do I remove it from apt?
[05:57] <administartor> sorry this is Bash :)
[05:57] <zomgattax> i haven't had any problems at all
[05:57] <sn00p> my external monitor is blanking for some reason
[05:57] <sn00p> i've tried google
[05:57] <zomgattax> did you try a new monitor cable?
[05:57] <sn00p> no the one I have works fine
[05:57] <Effex> sn00p: how do you mean replug? The power cable or the display cable?
[05:57] <sn00p> Effex, display cable
[05:58] <zomgattax> something doesn't work right lol, start with cables
[05:58] <zomgattax> then blame software
[05:58] <Effex> Does the monitor work with any other PC you have around?
[05:58] <zomgattax> are you using thirdparty graphics drivers?
[05:58] <sn00p> Effex, yep
[05:58] <chambakka> tell me how to configure the openvpn,I have already installed network-manager openvpn
[05:59] <Effex> Then it could be a drivers issue, are your drivers up to date?
[05:59] <zomgattax> nvidia or pile or shit ati?
[05:59] <zomgattax> *of sh*t
[06:00] <VP> how to remove a package that has been incompletely installed?
[06:00] <zomgattax> system cleaner?
[06:00] <Hephaestus|Wins> only an uninformed twat would still spread the FUD that AMD's driver platform on Linux is somehow inferior to that of NVIDIA.
[06:00] <Hephaestus|Wins> @zomgattax
[06:00] <chambakka> the thing I dont know that how to unzip the openvpn configuration file to the configuration folder
[06:01] <zomgattax> Hephaestus|Wins, just a common opinion in one of my regular channels :p
[06:01] <VP> how to remove a package that has been incompletely installed?:)
[06:02] <ImTheDude> i cant get my ipod to upload its music to rhythbox music player?
[06:02] <kcm1700> "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory" while compiling gcc, Linux kcm1700-VirtualBox 3.0.0-13-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 2 13:27:26 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[06:03] <seanzy> after upgrading to 11.10 my maudio ozone (usb sound device) is not outputting any sound.  i tried googling and following a sound guide to no avail
[06:03] <kcm1700> helpme
[06:03] <chambakka> vp: type this in terminal  sudo dpkg --configure -a
[06:04] <kcm1700> I can't get gcc compiled on Ubuntu.
[06:04] <ImTheDude> ignasb who are you talking to?
[06:04] <dr_willis> seanzy:  may be easiest to just do a clean install
[06:05] <VP> chambakka: Dear friend, thank you very much!
[06:05] <seanzy> dr_willis: that's so annoying, i'd rather now
[06:05] <seanzy> not
[06:05] <VP> chambakka: but that didnt solve it
[06:05] <chambakka> vp: do u remember the package
[06:05] <dr_willis> seanzy:  you may spend another 12+ hrs trying to fund a fix......
[06:05] <seanzy> the device shows up in sound preferences but doesn't output
[06:06] <VP> chambakka: Package KPPP is incompletely installed
[06:06] <chambakka> vp: if u remember it then run it again
[06:06] <dr_willis> seanzy:  or it may be somthing trivial.
[06:06] <seanzy> it worked before the updrage, so it was probably one of the packages it deleted
[06:06] <dr_willis> seanzy:  does a live cd work
[06:06] <ImTheDude> i select scane removable media and my ipod makes a noise but nothing
[06:07] <chambakka> vp: try this too in terminal apt-get install -f
[06:07] <seanzy> i don't have a live cd
[06:07] <dr_willis> sew
[06:07] <dr_willis> seanzy:  that would be a good test.
[06:07] <ImTheDude> can anyone help me configure my ipod to my rhythmbox music player
[06:08] <seanzy> dr_willis: if it works on live cd, what does that indicate?
[06:09] <chambakka> dr_willis, do u know hw to unzipp the configuration file to openvpn configuration folder
[06:09] <dr_willis> seanzy: that its not a kernel change issue
[06:10] <dr_willis> chambakka:  use the unzip command. or unp comand perhaps
[06:10] <seanzy> ok i'll try a live cd
[06:10] <chambakka> dr_willis, but i dont know where the openvpn folder is situated
[06:11] <dr_willis> seanzy:  if it works. check the midules loaded. and sound settings also.
[06:11] <dr_willis> chambakka:  neither do i..
[06:12] <VP> chambakka: tried all but the package can not be resumed because the Ubuntu Software Center says it is already installed
[06:12] <chambakka> vp: try in askubuntu.com
[06:13] <Resistance> nobody here has ever heard of the locate command have they >.>
[06:13] <Resistance> whoops wrong channel
[06:14] <Resistance> VP, did you try `sudo apt-get remove <package>`?
[06:14] <Resistance> in terminal
[06:14] <Resistance> erm
[06:14] <Resistance> is it remove or uninstall
[06:15] <VP> Resistance: just doing that
[06:15] <Resistance> well... its one of those :P
[06:15]  * dr_willis uses locate quite often
[06:15] <somsip> chambakka: /etc/openvpn
[06:15]  * Resistance has a very overly-modified aptitude he uses to run installations
[06:16] <Resistance> dr_willis, yeah?
[06:16] <Resistance> dr_willis, its got to be one of the best programs for *finding stuff* on the hard drive
[06:16] <Resistance> at least, imo
[06:16] <VP> Package kppp is not installed, so not removed
[06:17] <Resistance> VP, how did you initially install it?
[06:17] <dr_willis> bbl
[06:17] <Resistance> a local .deb not necessarily in the repos?
[06:19] <kyew> does --reinstall not work?
[06:19] <Resistance> i think they tried that
[06:21] <Resistance> VP, can you possibly try this: sudo dpkg --remove <package>
[06:22] <Resistance> i hate using dpkg directly, but sometimes it workds
[06:22] <Resistance> works*
[06:22] <Braden`> In vim, how would I get it to delete a whole line if it finds a pattern?
[06:22] <Braden`> :%s/pattern/ ? /g
[06:23] <VP> dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove kppp which isn't installed.
[06:23] <somsip> Braden: have you tried pattern//g ?
[06:23] <Braden`> somsip:  It only replaces the pattern, not the line
[06:23] <somsip> Braden`: ah, no. You want the whole line to be deleted if a sub=pattern is found..
[06:24] <somsip> Braden`: yup - ic

[06:38] <marcusdavidus> hello
[06:38] <marcusdavidus> how to watch embeded divx movies in chromium ?
[06:41] <marcusdavidus> of course no help f standart .
[06:42] <reisio> marcusdavidus: heh, it's the middle of the night
[06:42] <reisio> marcusdavidus: you need ffmpeg I'm sure
[06:43] <dirtycookie> is there a pastebin for screenshots?
[06:45] <phpmvc> i have to launch a python script when the system starts up, what's the best way to do that? update-rc.d + init.d script?
[06:45] <detrix42> Hi. Since the upgrade to Oneiric, I have been unable to get handbrake. The have not yet updated their repository. How does one get an older version through synaptic or the software center?
[06:46] <dirtycookie> hi, i installed gedit onto my xubuntu OS and wanted to know how to change the font of my embedded terminal. Here is a pix of what I mean. http://picpaste.com/-0DE32bmV.png
[06:48] <reisio> dirtycookie: might ask on irc.gnome.org
[06:49] <reisio> detrix42: maybe try WinFF instead?
[06:49] <reisio> or ffmpeg directly
[06:50] <reisio> phpmvc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RcLocalHowto
[06:52] <dr_willis> hmm.
[06:52] <phpmvc> cheers
[06:53] <dr_willis> beers.
[06:53] <dirtycookie> reisio: ill do that
[06:53] <detrix42> reisio: thanks, will try WinFF
[06:54] <dr_willis> wiff is handy. it can even show the ffmpeg commands its using
[06:54] <dr_willis> arista is also a handy alternative to winff
[06:56] <dr_willis> id still like to find an easy way to apply audacity's  background noise removal to a video file.  i got like 200 home movies to clean up.
[06:57] <nvz> I need to backup temporarily about 60gb or so of data from one ubuntu machine to another sitting right next to one another.. is there anything that may be faster than rsync?
[06:57] <nvz> I suppose I could do this real fast if I took both machines apart and put both drives in the same machine but I know from experience my netbook has to be totally disassembled to get to the HDD and thats just a lot of work
[06:58] <pangolin> dr_willis: someone in #ubuntustudio can probably help you with that.
[06:58] <dr_willis> a netbooks hd is also normally of the slower type also. so it may not be that much faster
[06:58] <nvz> though now that I think about it I may just do that anyhow so I can do all the repartitioning and crap in one fail swoop
[06:58] <dr_willis> pangolin:  yea. its going tobe my holiday project it seems. ;)
[06:59] <pangolin> cool, make sure to write up some easy to follow instructions for me :)
[06:59] <dr_willis> i was suprised how well audacity cleaned up the audio.
[06:59] <nvz> I'm not sure how well this will turn out as the attempt to repartition to install ubuntu failed twice.. the drive may have some physical damage
[06:59] <nvz> hence why I am trying to offload the data and wipe it entirely
[07:00] <nvz> I'm just in the mess of currently having ubuntu on a 5gb partition that was the restore partition.. and thats just a mess
[07:01] <nvz> makes life real difficult.. my next best idea was to link/bind most of the stuff to the larger partition I had debian on
[07:01] <dr_willis> nvz:  my main ubuntu install is on a 32gb flash drive ;)
[07:01] <nvz> yeah well, until I make enough money to get new hardware I just want to use ubuntu on there and have access to my whole drive without constantly running out of space
[07:02] <nvz> thinking of buying something from avadirect.. not sure what yet.. and so far have no budget for it
[07:02] <dr_willis> waiting to get a ssd for xmas. wonder if i can then dd this flash to the ssd.  never had a ssd befor
[07:03] <nvz> I'm obviously too tired/lazy to do anything right now so I think I'll just handle this task tomorrow and take the hdd out and put it into the desktop.. and hope for the best
[07:03] <nvz> I know there is a possibility all the reformatting and crap will toast the drive if it is in fact failing due to physical damage
[07:04] <dr_willis> put it out of its misery.
[07:04] <nvz> I was going to go with installing to an SD card since the netbook is getting old and falling apart.. but its a hardware hotplug pcie card reader that isnt supported by the bios
[07:05] <nvz> its the only machine I own right now and have no money.. so I gotta deal with it until I make the money to buy something new and actually decide on something new
[07:05] <nvz> all I know so far is that I want nvidia graphics, don't want to pay for windows because I dont intend to ever use it, and would like the ability to charge stuff via USB without the machine on
[07:06] <nvz> kinda torn on how much I wanna spend upfront.. cause most the machines on avadirect are easily upgradable.. and I wanna try keep the budget low at first and upgrade as needed
[07:07] <jita> how can i access dot files/folders in unity using nautilus ?
[07:08] <nvz> jita: select show hidden files from the view/edit menu wherever that is
[07:08] <nvz> I think ctrl+h is a shortcut for that
[07:08] <pooky> jita ctrl-h I think
[07:09] <jita> thanks pooky, nvz
[07:10] <dr_willis> i can charge my usb stuff from my desk clock. ;) it has 2 usb ports
[07:11] <dr_willis> laptop has oe of those usb charge ports.. took me a while to figure out how my mouse light was on with the laptop off...
[07:12] <nvz> yeah well thats what I want as in the past couple years this netbook has slowly become an over priced battery charger for devices I use more often
[07:12] <nvz> and it kills the battery too fast having the machine running when all I use it for is a backup battery for other devices
[07:13] <nvz> its usually not an advertised feature though which is annoying
[07:13] <nvz> I'm fairly certain the macbook air does it which is what I was thinking of getting for my next machine
[07:13] <nvz> but thats when the air still had nvidia.. and I wrote off paying for OSX as I am not very familiar with it and could stand to learn it just in case..
[07:14] <nvz> but truth is I really dont want OSX either, nor do I want ATI graphics
[07:14] <nvz> and the damn air is like 1100 or more, and for that price I can get way more hardware from somewhere like avadirect
[07:15] <nvz> they have laptops that support like 3 sata drives in RAID 5, with 12gb of ram or more for that price.. heh
[07:17] <dr_willis> my big laptop with 2 sata and a 18.4 lcd is nice... and heavy..  nasty heavy
[07:17] <FreeWilly> hey can someone show me how to access ubuntu pastbin history
[07:17] <FreeWilly> yesterday pasted some stuff which i want to look at again
[07:18] <dr_willis> FreeWilly:  try the history command? but that wont show the url.
[07:18] <dr_willis> !logs
[07:18] <dr_willis> chennel logs may help
[07:19] <dr_willis> browser history feature may help also
[07:20] <eHAPPY> Whenever I mount a NFS share on the client the UID shows up as a bunch of random numbers; is this normal?
[07:20] <FreeWilly> dr_willis: thanks, but sjoe how do i know which one under yesterdays date is #ubuntu's history??
[07:21] <reisio> dr_willis: sox?
[07:21] <dr_willis> reisio:  sox? ;)  i got some nice wool sox on..
[07:22] <dr_willis> FreeWilly:  no idea. i raly look at the channel logs
[07:22] <FreeWilly> sjoe
[07:22] <reisio> dr_willis: for noise removal
[07:23] <reisio> dr_willis: probably have to separate audio & video first, then smash back together afterwards
[07:23] <reisio> with ffmpeg/mencoder/mplayer
[07:23] <dr_willis> reisio:  i saw mention of that. wondered if it does as good a job as audacity does
[07:23] <reisio> I think you are the man to test it!
[07:24] <dr_willis> item # 204 on my todo list
[07:24] <FreeWilly> anyone else maybe know if ubuntu pastebin keeps history?
[07:24] <reisio> $ wc -l lists/todo \n667 lists/todo
[07:24] <reisio> and I believe that is only since this new computer
[07:25] <reisio> FreeWilly: it'd probably be easier to find it via the three methods people already mentioned
[07:25] <nvz> eHAPPY: certainly doesnt sound normal to me, but I've only dabbled, I dont use nfs on a regular basis
[07:25] <reisio> the 'history' command, your browser's history, and the IRC channel logs
[07:25] <reisio> although unless you made these pastebins fairly recently, they might be gone
[07:26] <raj-darkmystery> postfix virtual host pam(user@domain): pam_authenticate() failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module
[07:27] <FreeWilly> found it reisio
[07:27] <FreeWilly> thanks
[07:28] <eHAPPY> anyone know NFS well?
[07:29] <dr_willis> all i know on nfs i learned from !nfs
[07:30] <eHAPPY> !nfs
[07:30] <eHAPPY> ah yes that guide; it sadly is lacking
[07:30] <nvz> all I learned about anything is fairly useless when I'm in chronic pain and my brain is foggy.. heh
[07:30]  * Bubba likes need for speed
[07:30] <dr_willis> last i used nfs. my gid/gid was the same on the nfs shares
[07:31] <nvz> yes it always agreed for me as well
[07:31] <nvz> certainly sounds off
[07:31] <eHAPPY> yeh i tried uid/gid but there is a pretty bad bug if you overlap it seem
[07:31] <eHAPPY> s
[07:31] <eHAPPY> essentially if i have ehappy:root and root:ehappy you can get root:root
[07:34] <ypsjd> 大家好

[07:35] <ypsjd> 有人在ubuntu10.04里面安装了ibm lotus notes吗
[07:35] <faLUCE> hi. I can't set 1920x1080 resolution on "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)" (I'm using ubuntu). In addition, I had to add " i915.modeset=0 " to grub file (otherwise I saw a black screen). How can I solve?
[07:36] <ypsjd> use GPL driver?
[07:36] <faLUCE> ypsjd: where can I get it?
[07:37] <faLUCE> (I'm not using proprietary drivers)
[07:37] <nvz> I wasnt aware there was such a thing as a proprietary driver for intel
[07:37] <auronandace> there isn't

[07:42]  * WebGoddess008 waves
[07:42] <WebGoddess008> i'm gnu to ubuntu, just got up and running with 1110 :)
[07:43] <reisio> heh
[07:43] <auronandace> !yay | WebGoddess008
[07:43] <WebGoddess008> was trying to find out how to configure the dashbar on the left to perhaps be half the width so i can put like double the icons on it instead of having to scroll up and down ;-)
[07:44] <reisio> !cookie
[07:44] <reisio> ubottu: cookie
[07:44] <reisio> WebGoddess008: you are picky
[07:44] <reisio> s/are/_are_/
[07:44] <WebGoddess008> and i haven't been able to figure out how to set up the keyboard shortcut so that my m$ keyboard can do copy with the "New" key and paste with the "Open" key since a single-button copy-n-paste makes me tons more efficient :P
[07:45] <WebGoddess008> lol yah i'm picky ;)
[07:45]  * WebGoddess008 kinda a control freak or something
[07:45] <WebGoddess008> but i'm super happy w/Ubuntu, really great O/S
[07:45] <WebGoddess008> :)
[07:45] <reisio> you don't know where the keyboard shortcut prefs are
[07:46] <WebGoddess008> i launched the keyboard shortcut prefs
[07:46] <dr_willis> never seen a new or open key on a keybord. ;)
[07:46] <reisio> WebGoddess008: it doesn't detect those keys?
[07:46] <WebGoddess008> it does, just when i add the "Copy" and "Paste" under custom shortcuts
[07:47] <WebGoddess008> then it doesn't seem to work correctly
[07:47] <dr_willis> you have noticed you can normally select, and middle click to copy/paste  ;)
[07:47] <reisio> WebGoddess008: in that nothing happens?
[07:47] <WebGoddess008> ahh okay
[07:48] <WebGoddess008> well i set Copy to "New" and "Paste" to "SunOpen" in the shortcuts
[07:48] <auronandace> WebGoddess008: keyboard shortcuts are usually combinations (more than 1 key); you'd otherwise want to alter the keymap
[07:48] <reisio> still, it should allow it
[07:48] <reisio> auronandace: are you saying it doesn't?
[07:48] <WebGoddess008> yah just not wanting to spend tons of time on it lol
[07:48] <WebGoddess008> got work to do and all that jazz lol
[07:48] <WebGoddess008> i suppose i can just use the mouse for now ;)
[07:49] <WebGoddess008> 1110 is quite nice though...good job to all of ya'll who worked on it <3
[07:49] <auronandace> reisio: i'm guessing, i've never come across a shortcut that simply changed the function of an already existing single key
[07:49] <WebGoddess008> well m$ keyboard has the "help" "undo" "redo" "new" "open" etc keys
[07:50] <reisio> auronandace: so no
[07:50] <WebGoddess008> so on windoze i can use intellitype to remap "new" to copy and "open" to paste
[07:50] <WebGoddess008> lol
[07:50] <reisio> WebGoddess008: find the Compiz Config Settings Manager
[07:50] <WebGoddess008> not trying to be nitpicky just efficient ;)
[07:50] <reisio> WebGoddess008: look for the Unity tab
[07:51] <reisio> dpkg -L compizconfig-settings-manager | grep bin
[07:51] <WebGoddess008> oh okay thanks reisio
[07:51] <reisio> not sure what width options are available
[07:51] <reisio> as yet
[07:51] <reisio> I'm sure in the future, blah blah
[07:53] <WebGoddess008> awesome :)
[07:53] <lovelp> how do you think the linux mint
[07:53] <WebGoddess008> set it to 32 vs 48 now i can add more silly-icons lol
[07:53] <reisio> cool
[07:53] <WebGoddess008> <333
[07:53] <reisio> WebGoddess008: the go side by side?
[07:53] <reisio> they*
[07:53] <reisio> lovelp: it's a green themed Ubuntu (which is a brown/purple/orange themed Debian)
[07:54] <WebGoddess008> how stable is compiz?  it said online there were "bugs"...trying to avoid "bugs" lol
[07:54] <reisio> well it's a fairly old package
[07:54] <reisio> and fairly enduring
[07:55] <reisio> I was just reading that the settings manager isn't particularly stable :p
[07:55] <reisio> which is fairly typical (helper apps being less stable)
[07:55] <WebGoddess008> cool, so if i tweak stuff on here i'm not gonna end up with a borked unity dashbar? ;)
[07:55] <dr_willis> dont go crazy with the plugins. ;) or in ccsm
[07:55] <WebGoddess008> well
[07:55] <WebGoddess008> lol
[07:55] <reisio> if you do you'd probably only have to move ~/.config/ or the like
[07:55] <reisio> to get back to defaults
[07:55] <WebGoddess008> i'll just stick to the basics, i'm cool w/the dashbar icons @32px and the auto-hide
[07:56] <dr_willis> you can reset unity and compiz  via simple command line commands
[07:56] <WebGoddess008> ok cool
[07:56] <will_> I'm using a trackpad on 11.10, but it doesn't feel as "forgiving" as on OSX. For example, I would go to click on Firefox to change focus then move the cursor down to click a link. The system though I wanted to select the whole page. How can I fix this?
[07:56] <sporto> how do i claim a wireless driver? hardware driver says activated but not in use
[07:56] <WebGoddess008> i've been using debian for a long time but haven't used ubuntu in several years
[07:56] <reisio> will_: sorry rephrase?
[07:56] <reisio> sporto: you want to put a flag in it, or do something else?
[07:57] <WebGoddess008> yah im interested in OSX lion just no $ atm to try it out...my apple equip is old lol
[07:57] <will_> reisi: On my trackpad, I'm looking to disable the "tap to click" feature.
[07:58] <WebGoddess008> if i can get everything i need working on ubuntu then i'll use it as my desktop
[07:58] <sporto> reisio: flag? i wanna use it lol, i tried to "touch" it and restart but no change, wireless doesn't show up in nm-applet either
[07:58] <reisio> will_: don't know much about that, but it seems to come up a lot: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22tap%20to%20click%22%20site%3Aubuntuforums.org
[07:59] <will_> reisi: hehe, thanks. I was actually just Googling that once I put it into clearer, more Google-able words :)
[07:59] <reisio> sporto: is it a module?
[08:00] <reisio> will_: that's what they all say...
[08:00] <reisio> will_: ...right before doing so!
[08:00] <will_> reisi: hah! But you made me rethink how to phrase it :) Anyways. Looks like my system doesn't think it's a touchpad...
[08:00] <reisio> ah, that'd be confusing
[08:01] <sporto> reisio: i think so, i had to and a funky ppa to get the driver via synaptic
[08:01] <fesafder> how do i configure my old monitor resolution in 11.10 is there a xorg.conf for monitor ?
[08:01] <sporto> add^
[08:01] <reisio> oh, good fun
[08:02] <fesafder> or does ubuntu works with a resgistry ?
[08:02] <Koketso_Mabuse> fesafder I do not think so
[08:03] <Koketso_Mabuse> fesafder what I think though is that get all the updates for Ubuntu, then do a hardware scan and your config for the monitor will go easily
[08:03] <fesafder> the monitor has 25 years now
[08:04] <fesafder> i know the refresh rates
[08:04] <Koketso_Mabuse> fesafder: App/ System/ hardware drivers
[08:04] <Koketso_Mabuse> Try that
[08:05] <fesafder> der: App/ System/ hardware drivers is that a path in /
[08:05] <shomon> hi, I still have mplayer playing videos super fast and with no sound :(
[08:05] <shomon> any idea what I could do to fix this?
[08:05] <shomon> also with flash videos
[08:06] <fesafder> i only have a console for now
[08:06] <reisio> shomon: grep 'ao=' /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
[08:06] <Koketso_Mabuse> Oh Sorry I have a MAC4Lin, System, Adminstration then Hardware Drivers
[08:06] <shomon> ao=pulse,alsa,sdl:aalib
[08:06] <sporto> i have source i can compile but the readme say define gcc and ld, what is ld?
[08:07] <Koketso_Mabuse> That is the route to get to Hardware Drives
[08:07] <Koketso_Mabuse> drives
[08:07] <Koketso_Mabuse> drivers
[08:07] <Koketso_Mabuse> lol
[08:07] <ikonia> sporto: linker
[08:07] <fesafder> i am looking for conf files to edit
[08:07] <ikonia> sporto: what are you trying to build ?
[08:07] <shomon> reisio, should I switch it to alsa somehow?
[08:08] <reisio> shomon: I would suspect your pulse config, yeah
[08:08] <sporto> ralink wireless driver in lucid
[08:08] <shomon> hmm, can I reset it to zero somehow?
[08:08] <shomon> like back to factory config?
[08:08] <shomon> if that applies with ubuntu
[08:09] <sporto> ikonia: my wireless driver is "unclaimed"
[08:10] <faLUCE> (ubuntu 11.10) hi. I can't use resolutions higher than 1280x1024 with "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)". In addition, I had to boot with "nomodeset" (otherwise I saw only a black screen)

[08:34] <goddard> yo
[08:34] <arikel> yo goddard , so how do you like Unity?
[08:34] <goddard> not using it at the moment
[08:35] <arikel> heh, who does? :)
[08:35] <arvut> for some fkd up reason my login screen on a fresh 11.10 install has changed my keyboard layout from Swedish dvorak to english qwerty.. so now I can't type my password which consists of various unicode characters.. in earlier ubuntu versions I could select the layout before logging in (at login screen).. is this still possible or is this install fubard?
[08:35] <[dlp]> Hi guys.
[08:36] <goddard> arvut: i tried it at the start but to many driver issues
[08:36] <somsip> arvut: login to command prompt, then change your password to something that only contains qwerty characters?
[08:36] <[dlp]> I'm having a bit of an issue with my apt database,.. there appear to be two of each package as seen within aptitude.
[08:36] <goddard> arikel: ^
[08:36] <somsip> !text ! arvut
[08:36] <somsip> !text | arvut
[08:36] <[dlp]> And it's causing conflicts and breakages.
[08:37] <[dlp]> I don't see any duplicate entries in sources.list
[08:37] <will_> I just wanted to say, I bought a Netgear USB wifi adapter (WNA1100) and it was plug and play :)
[08:38] <bullgard6> In Ubuntu  10.04.3 the X server crashed. May be there crashed more yet. I obtained the error message: "init: plymouth-stop prestart process (1362) terminated with status 1". How to proceed to save a maximum of the data of the programs open heretofore?
[08:39] <[dlp]> I'm on 11.10 upgraded from 11.04 (64-bit).
[08:39] <[dlp]> Also, there's nothing in sources.list.d
[08:40] <[dlp]> And I've deleted the contents of /var/lib/apt/lists and rebuilt them.
[08:41] <[dlp]> I don't know the workings of apt that well, so if anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
[08:43] <Eletels> Hello
[08:43] <arvut> are you saying ubuntu is too stupid to load the correct drivers for swe dvorak keyboard layout? I had no issues logging in last time, I did update the OS tho and then rebooted. seriously this is a situation no regular user would want to be in. I'm glad I know how to manually change pw, but others might not be as fortunate.. what if a user has ö, ä, å (or any other language-specific character) in their pw that they can normally type with their keyboard, a
[08:44] <bullgard6> !enter  | [dlp]
[08:44] <[dlp]> Sorry.
[08:45] <reisio> Eletels: hi
[08:45] <[dlp]> I can see why, especially in a noisy channel.
[08:45] <Eletels> Whats up
[08:45] <somsip> arvut: I'm giving you a solution. I'm not concerned about the other issues, personally
[08:47] <somsip> arvut: though there may be some benefit in rasing a bug
[08:47] <arvut> somsip: its a solution for a rather experienced linux user, yes. but this is a serious issue. I'm not filing a bugreport on it as I'll go back to gentoo and fedora instead. done with ubuntu.
[08:47] <bullgard6> [dlp]: It appears that you are not an advanced Ubuntu user. My advice: Backup your /home directory's content and re-install Ubuntu 11.10
[08:47] <arvut> and I ty, but its not enough.
[08:47] <[dlp]> bullguard6: Not an option.
[08:47] <SoWhat> hello! does anybody can tell me how to run CheckGmail with patch described here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/checkgmail/+bug/851553 or maybe there is some good alternative for CheckGmail?
[08:49] <VictorCL> what could be that I have no syslog on /var/log/syslog
[08:49] <arvut> another solution: login as guest session, switch user to sudoers account and you will have the layout back to normal. this is still a serious issue though
[08:50] <[dlp]> bullgard6: And you are making this assumption only on the basis that I don't know the package management system too well, which seems somewhat presumptuous, don't you think?
[08:50] <ikonia> [dlp]: that bug is a known issue
[08:51] <ikonia> [dlp]: it has been reported a few times,
[08:51] <ikonia> [dlp]: it seems more common with apptitude
[08:52] <ikonia> [dlp]: it is actually not a problem though and will not stop any functionality, just a visual thing
[08:52] <[dlp]> ikonia: I did my best to search for known issues, but didn't find anything relevant. Is there a solution?
[08:52] <[dlp]> ikonia: I see.
[08:52] <ikonia> [dlp]: (or at least shouldn't cause you a problem)
[08:52] <ikonia> [dlp]: I'm not aware of a solution as of yet, but it has been reported quite a few times
[08:54] <Efrit999> Anyone knows a little bit exciting rooms...
[08:54] <SoWhat> maybe somebody can tell how to install this package http://packages.debian.org/unstable/mail/checkgmail ? or Ubuntu doesnt support debian pkg?
[08:54] <ikonia> Efrit999: this channel is only for ubuntu support discussion please.
[08:54] <ikonia> SoWhat: don't install debian packages on ubuntu
[08:54] <Benkinooby> is there a way to decide, what network traffic should go through a vpn connection and what traffic should use the normal network connection?
[08:55] <SoWhat> ikonia: okay, tnx
[08:55] <[dlp]> ikonia: In that case, I might be looking at another problem as well. For example, there are two versions of libasound2 that appear to be the same version, but some packages depend on one and some the other, but they conflict.
[08:55] <ikonia> Benkinooby: you'll need a reasonable routing table
[08:55] <ikonia> [dlp]: sorry, could you explain a bit clearer
[08:56] <Benkinooby> ikonia, so it will be difficult to make das decision on a application layer... like running firefox over normal internet and thunderbird over vpn... or even one ff-window over vpn and the other over normal connection
[08:56] <ikonia> Benkinooby: that would be exceptionally complex
[08:56] <ikonia> Benkinooby: you couldn't even do that with a routing table, you'd have to try to use something such as iptables
[08:57] <Randolph> hi all
[08:58] <reisio> hi
[08:58] <Benkinooby> ikonia, i guess i am not the first one with that kind of interest... if some1 is connected to his company via vpn i'm sure not all information should run over the companys network...
[08:58] <ikonia> vpn is normally a secure connection, so once you connect, you are locked out of your other connection
[08:59] <[dlp]> Ok... in this case, I'm trying to install skype. When I mark it for installation aptitude reports 59 breaks, the only available solution being to keep all 59 packages (including Skype itself) at current version (UNINST). But when I inspect to see why these packages have to remain uninstalled, I find it's because a conflicting version of the same package is installed.
[08:59] <reisio> of skype?
[09:00] <ikonia> [dlp]: could you please do "sudo apt-get update" and pastebin the output
[09:01] <SoWhat> can somebody tell me how to add programs to menu in left?
[09:02] <Benkinooby> ikonia, looking at my routes (didn't mod then) i have routes for eth0 and tun0...
[09:02] <ikonia> Benkinooby: yes you will have
[09:02] <zabomber> is there theme's in ubuntu 11.10 unity?
[09:02] <ikonia> Benkinooby: that is correct
[09:02] <[dlp]> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/EKesJ9Dc
[09:02] <zabomber> i know somethings changed that makes 11.04 backwards incompatible with 11.10?
[09:02] <ikonia> zabomber: what ?
[09:04] <zabomber> ikonia: im running unity... what theme'ing engine/theme sets/repo's can i use to change the themes?
[09:04] <ikonia> [dlp]: do you have backports enabled
[09:04] <Benkinooby> ikonia, hm... using wireshark i only see ESP traffic... so no normal lan traffic
[09:04] <zabomber> none of the 11.04 and old works...
[09:04] <zabomber> Benkinoob: tried tcpdump?
[09:04] <zabomber> with grep
[09:05] <[dlp]> ikonia: Yes.
[09:05] <Benkinooby> zabomber, wireshark does the same job as tcpdump
[09:05] <ikonia> [dlp]: you may actually have conflicting packages then
[09:06] <[dlp]> ikonia: Aha, now we're getting somewhere. Let me remove backports and update...
[09:06] <Browser> hi
[09:06] <reisio> hi
[09:09] <ikonia> [dlp]: it may be (hopefully not) too late if any of the backport packages have been installed and a conflict created
[09:11] <Oins> Hi. How can I import a CA File into Pidgin?
[09:11] <[dlp]> ikonia: No, there are still problems, by the looks of things.
[09:12] <ikonia> [dlp]: I'm not massivly shocked by that
[09:14] <[dlp]> ikonia: In that case, I'll have to decide which is the lesser of two evils in terms of either reinstalling the system or learning about the package management system in enough detail to fix the problems.
[09:14] <ikonia> [dlp]: well it depends on the conflict
[09:16] <SoWhat> how to set which aplication opens which files by default?
[09:17] <[dlp]> ikonia: The main problem is that I've got a fair bit of technically unsupported software "installed" outside package management. I had to make a lot of tweaks to get these working, hence the reason I'm reluctant to reinstall. I'd have to go through the whole process again.
[09:22] <s3r3n1t7> Good morning all. I'm working on getting samba4 working with named which is workign thus far except that bind doesn't seem to have a driver.

[09:26] <pratz> hey guys i have ubuntu 10.04 and  I installed "pdftk" version 1.41 ,but there is a know bug in this and that's why i downloaded pdftk version 1.44.deb , when i try to install this deb package i get the error Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libgcj11 (>= 4.4)
[09:26] <pratz> Any idea what i should do now ?\
[09:27] <s3r3n1t7> pratz, that file needs a dependency which isn't yet in the ubuntu repo's. You'll have to find it manually
[09:27] <pratz> s3r3n1t7: but if that has another dependency and if the dependencies goes recursive , should i manually install all that stuff ?
[09:28] <s3r3n1t7> pratz, it's the only way to get that newer version you want installed
[09:29] <pratz> s3r3n1t7: but  libgcj11 depends on 11 other dependencies, then even i need to install them too (manually )
[09:29] <pratz> s3r3n1t7: correct ?
[09:30] <s3r3n1t7> pratz, correct. If you want a newer program to be installed, which depends on newer versions of dependencies also not  in the ubuntu repo, then you'll be in for one hell of a ride as it's gonna take you loads of time
[09:30] <GirlyGirl> pratz: Which program are you looking for
[09:30] <faLUCE> hi, I'm using the integrated graphic cardo of a i5 2400 cpu (ubuntu 11.10, kernel 3.0.0-12-generic). Unfortunately, I have to use "nomodeset" (otherwise I have blank screen after boot) and can't use high resolution. How can I solve?
[09:30] <pratz> GirlyGirl: i have ubuntu 10.04 and  I installed "pdftk" version 1.41 ,but there is a know bug in this and that's
[09:30] <pratz>                why i downloaded pdftk version 1.44.deb , when i try to install this deb package i get the error Error:
[09:30] <pratz>                Dependency is not satisfiable: libgcj11 (>= 4.4)
[09:31] <theadmin> faLUCE: You have to install your graphic drivers.
[09:32] <faLUCE> theadmin: how?
[09:32] <GirlyGirl> pratz: Gernerally the LTS versions no longer get new software after the next version has been released. They get security updates for the old versions and critical bug fixes backported (similar to debian stable). SO if you want new software with newer libraries etc upgrade to 11.10
[09:32] <theadmin> faLUCE: Normally you can use the built-in "Hardware Drivers" tool.
[09:32] <theadmin> GirlyGirl: Hey, long time no see :D
[09:33] <faLUCE> theadmin: It doesn't find anything
[09:33] <theadmin> faLUCE: Then check the gpu's manufacturer site

[09:46] <arlo> teamwiewer?
[09:46] <atif> nah i am talking about 1st alpha of 12.04
[09:47] <atif> it was supposed to released today right?
[09:47] <theadmin> atif: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule
[09:47] <jessep> i figured something like that was happening. kinda nervous about upgrading our production machine.
[09:47] <deej1976> atif: or ask in #ubuntu+1
[09:48] <airtonix> arlo: did you look at what /var/log/apache2/error.log contains ?
[09:48] <arlo> 2 sek i check
[09:49] <Lantizia> OK so I'm on 11.10 for the first time... on the "Additional Drivers" it shows that "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173)" is already installed... why?  And whats more if it _was_ installed where is nvidia-settings?  The silly ubuntu "displays" gui doesn't think I have two monitors when I do.
[09:49] <airtonix> arlo: you should also run: sudo apache2ctl configtest
[09:49] <arlo> http://pastebin.com/KSjt8qFB
[09:50] <arlo> se this
[09:50] <arlo> apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <IP_ADDRESS> for ServerName
[09:51] <arlo> i think i change my ip from 127 to ip?
[09:51] <airtonix> arlo: ok the error log looks free of problems that would relate to your question, however i did ask you to look at that file on the assumption that you haven't modified the config or are not using any newly created virtualhosts
[09:52] <arlo> airtonix no
[09:52] <arlo> im installed php
[09:52] <arlo> but not anything
[09:52] <airtonix> arlo: is your webserver in a production and therefore sensitve? or is it merely a test server?
[09:52] <arlo> hmm is production
[09:52] <arlo> but to small sites
[09:52] <arlo> home pc
[09:53] <arlo> :-)
[09:53] <airtonix> arlo: ok, so did 'sudo apache2ctl configtest' return a result?
[09:54] <airtonix> arlo: i'd also ask you to pastebin your /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
[09:55] <arlo> yes return a results
[09:55] <arlo> 2 sek is insert this

[09:56] <arlo> http://pastebin.com/G6y43pym
[09:56] <airtonix> arlo: another thing you need to "tick off" on your trouble shooting list is to run : 'curl http://localhost' on the same machine that you have the webserver running on
[09:57] <afidegnum> I have been clicking there and nothing hapens
[09:57] <arlo> yes my server running on localhost
[09:57] <airtonix> arlo: and you need to check that ufw has port 80 opened
[09:57] <afidegnum> right click or left ?
[09:57] <arlo> but not on my ip
[09:57] <arlo> and not on my domain
[09:57] <theadmin> afidegnum: You need to select the text and then right click and choose copy...
[09:57] <arlo> you mean router?
[09:57] <arlo> port 80 is open
[09:57] <arlo> i  can ssh
[09:57] <arlo> and port 22
