[18:25] <CaptainPlanet> I don't know too much about your problem, John, but try typing "Dell" into your search bar in Synaptic
[18:25] <John> okay thanks
[18:26] <danileigh79> iceroot: I'm not, it's using FAT32 and NTFS on my windows partition, I'm just worried because I keep some pretty sensitive info on Ubuntu, stuff that I don't want on WinXP
[18:26] <iceroot> danileigh79: i am talkin about your ubuntu-partiton which is ext3/4
[18:26] <CaptainPlanet> Okay, this is getting annoying:  does anybody know how to refresh or reset the desktop?  I can't get my launch and menu bars to show.  >.<
[18:26] <geoffmcc> John: run lspci -v from command, and tell us what it says your wifi card is
[18:26] <Dany0> hey guys does anyone have an idea how can I  enable user-themes extension in gnome3? I love the way it works, I find it very productive, but they default theme is disgusting and I'm losing it you know, and I can't get user themes to work, yellow triangle in gnome-tweak tool =/ anyone, please?
[18:26] <rootux>  a mate have a problem: he got windows 7 as OS if he start a video (adobe flashplayer) --> he can't move the courser or make anything --> then he have to shoutdown the pcs by pushing the power bottom ... what can we do? (i already ask in the windows channel)
[18:26] <danileigh79> CaptainPlanet: are you using unity or gnome?
[18:26] <Dany0> tried everything, it's just not enabled
[18:26] <iceroot> danileigh79: if it is sensitiv stuff, encryption is a good start
[18:27] <iceroot> CaptainPlanet: unity --reset
[18:27] <danileigh79> iceroot: i thought by putting it on ubuntu instead of winxp, it would be encrypted
[18:27] <iceroot> danileigh79: no not by default, ubuntu is not using encryption by default
[18:27] <Dany0> CaptainPlanet, what shell?

[18:28] <yacc> RaTTuS|BIG, how do you handle hardware detection?
[18:28] <CaptainPlanet> Lol!  Too much text to keep up with!  haha.  I'm using Unity.
[18:28] <danileigh79> iceroot: is there a way to fully encrypt ubuntu then, I have it set by password, and so far, my winxp part has not been able to detect ubuntu, I want to keep it that way
[18:28] <CaptainPlanet> And i'm using the bash shell
[18:28] <Dany0> CaptainPlanet, ctrl+alt+t unity --reset
[18:28] <ryuguns> Hello
[18:28] <Dany0> can anyone help me with the themes extension in gnome3?
[18:28] <iceroot> danileigh79: xp cant detect ubuntu because you need ext3/4 drivers as already said
[18:29] <geoffmcc> John: im not seeing your network card listed. scroll threw the output and find the network card
[18:29] <CaptainPlanet> Gotcha.  Thanks Dany
[18:29] <ryuguns> Is  it possible to play TF2 on WINE?
[18:29] <geoffmcc> copy and paste only that - or copy paste whole thing to pastebin and post url to it here
[18:29] <Dany0> CaptainPlanet, you should thank iceroot
[18:29] <iceroot> danileigh79: but with installed drivers you can eaisly access ubuntu-partitons from windows

[18:29] <CaptainPlanet> Woot!  Thanks Dany8.
[18:29] <danileigh79> iceroot: ok thx I just want to make ubuntu as secure as possible
[18:29] <iceroot> !appdb | ryuguns
[18:30] <Dany0> CaptainPlanet, also I'm not Dany8
[18:30] <ryuguns> ty
[18:30] <CaptainPlanet> ryuguns, I would assume so....
[18:31] <geoffmcc> John: ok, i think that one is your ethernet port (wired)
[18:31] <iceroot> danileigh79: i am not sure if it is possible to encrypt a partition which is already in use but maybe someone here knows it
[18:31] <CaptainPlanet> Well, I'll just go by your username/nickname that shows up on my screen.  Lol
[18:31] <geoffmcc> John: lemme look something up
[18:31] <rumpe1> danileigh79, a full encryption of ubuntu is usually not necessary (enrypting all the free software packages, manuals, wallpapers, ... ?). Encrypting your user folder in home might be a better idea though, if you want to protect your software profiles, logs, bookmarks.
[18:31] <John> geoffmcc: thanks. is there a way to go into private chat?
[18:32] <Dany0> hey, does anyone have an idea how can I  enable the themes extension in ubuntu? I've tried everything, yellow triangle in gnome tweak tool =/
[18:32] <bjpenn> how do i make ubuntu console resolution bigger?
[18:32] <bjpenn> im not using a gui
[18:32] <CaptainPlanet> Are you talking about stuff like Compiz?
[18:33] <Dany0> bjpenn, zoom
[18:33] <robo> hello: I'm trying to find this key. Any ideas how I can obtain it? I guess I don't understand what's being passed to --recv. apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10
[18:33] <bjpenn> Dany0, what do you mean by zoom
[18:33] <geoffmcc> John: I sent you a msg check for it, i will be in there
[18:33] <bjpenn> is that a function?
[18:33] <CaptainPlanet> Just a CLI?? Yikes! Keep me away from your computer! Lol
[18:34] <bjpenn> thought it would be a simple question, nobody knwos for real?
[18:35] <xkogex> Go on www.otakustate.com Game, Anime and Manga News and Reviews!
[18:35] <bjpenn> how do i make ubuntu console resolution bigger? im not using gui
[18:35] <TrentonDAdams> Are there any known issues with ubuntu 10.10 regarding memory leaks that simply show up in kernel AnonPages?
[18:35] <llutz> bjpenn: set your resolution in /etc/default/grub, like: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vga=791"
[18:35] <TrentonDAdams> I've got 8G of memory, and my used AnonPages just keeps going up and up, and I close programs, and it does not go back down.
[18:35] <andygraybeal> what program can recommend which channel i should set my wifi router?
[18:36] <X-tonic> if i want to file a bug about the the default software shipped in ubuntu, under what category in launchpad should i file it?
[18:36] <iceroot> X-tonic: ubuntu-desktop
[18:36] <iceroot> X-tonic: !ubuntu-bug ubuntu-desktop
[18:37] <CaptainPlanet> andy, isn't your router set to WPA2 by default?
[18:37] <iceroot> X-tonic: without the ! of course. just type "ubuntu-bug ubuntu-desktop"
[18:37] <X-tonic> iceroot: k.. thanks, ill do that. :)
[18:38] <mirrakor_> what does one have to do to get a package into the default repository of ubuntu?
[18:38] <falconumber1> ciao!
[18:38] <falconumber1> !list
[18:38] <mirrakor_> (debian policy compliant)
[18:38] <falconumber1> scoregge
[18:39] <popey> mirrakor_: easiest thing to do is get your package into debian, then we sync from there
[18:39] <mirrakor_> hm.. okay, that does sound a little bit complicated but I'm going to pretend ubuntu is just a branch of debian :D
[18:39] <popey> mirrakor_: it is ☺
[18:40] <mirrakor_> popey: yeah, but I'd still have to repackage it I guess (or do the accept packages like flashqard_0.15.0-1ubuntu2?)
[18:40] <popey> mirrakor_: repackage why?
[18:40] <popey> mirrakor_: if you package something for Debian, we sync from debian so we get it (eventually)
[18:41] <mirrakor_> popey: because I already put it in an PPA
[18:41] <popey> mirrakor_: if you want to package something specifically for ubuntu then you can do that of course, but it's nice for everyone to benefit
[18:41] <iceroot> popey: is everything synced from debian (main)?
[18:41] <popey> mirrakor_: ok, then I'd talk to someone in #ubuntu-motu
[18:41] <popey> iceroot: mostly
[18:41] <popey> iceroot: some stuff gets synced from upstream, not debian
[18:41] <popey> and some stuff we build outselves
[18:42] <iceroot> popey: but it contains everything which is also in debian (main) but not always the debian-version
[18:42] <popey> iceroot: not always everything, most things
[18:42] <mirrakor_> ok, thanks :)
[18:42] <popey> np
[18:42] <iceroot> popey: ok, thanks for the info
[18:44] <Dany0> hello? can anyone help me? gnome3? themes? extension disabled? please? hello?
[18:44] <CaptainPlanet> Oh snap.........  Umm.... I think Ubuntu is screwed up really bad.  =/  Should I copypaste the warning messages I'm receiving in the Terminal and send the info to the Ubuntu guys?
[18:45] <xrdodrx> CaptainPlanet, what ubuntu guys? us? if you do and explain what you were doing prior to when they appeared, we might be able to help you, yes
[18:45] <iceroot> !details | Dany0
[18:45] <trijntje> Hi all, i'm trying to get my laptop to use apt-cacher on local network, but I keep getting timeout errors on both the server and client. I've tried to find a solution on the web, but nothing so far
[18:46] <CaptainPlanet> Errm.... The fellows I email to.  'Cause it looks pretty nasty.  =/  I'm chatting on my netbook with Jolicloud along side my laptop with Ubuntu 11.10.
[18:46] <Belerafon> Hi. My screen resolution is 1024x600 and it works fine by default. Today after connecting external monitor I can't  go back to this resolution. In system preferences only 1024x768 and 800x600. How to change?
[18:47] <marko-_-> how do i change encoding in gedit?
[18:48] <CaptainPlanet> I had a few programs running (including Wine setup) and then I decided to close out of them because I wanted to do the first backup of my /Home folder.  Everything was going okay, until I told Wine to exit the setup.  That's when my launch and menu bars disappeared for a while.
[18:48] <X-tonic> iceroot: When i go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu, and click the "report a bug" on the right pane, it takes me to a wiki page. While if i go https://bugs.launchpad.net/~desktop-bugs or https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugs i dont see the option to file a bug.
[18:48] <trijntje> CaptainPlanet: sounds like unity crashed, no big deal
[18:49] <iceroot> X-tonic: type in the shell "ubuntu-bug ubuntu-desktop"
[18:49] <Dany0> !time
[18:49] <Dany0> !servertime
[18:49] <CaptainPlanet> huh.  mkay.
[18:49] <Dany0> iceroot, I've been spamming here for a long time -.-'
[18:50] <Dany0> iceroot, <Dany0> hey guys does anyone have an idea how can I  enable user-themes extension in gnome3? I love the way it works, I find it very productive, but they default theme is disgusting and I'm losing it you know, and I can't get user themes to work, yellow triangle in gnome-tweak tool =/ anyone, please?
[18:50] <CaptainPlanet> Okay, now I can't exit the Terminal because I'm afraid that I'll kill a process that's still trying to do something important----I think.
[18:50] <iceroot> Dany0: if someone is spaming instead of writing usefull infos in one line (and dont repeat every minute) normally the people ignoring such posts
[18:51] <trism> Dany0: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/how-to-install-gnome-shell-themes-in-ubuntu-11-10/
[18:51] <osse> How does Gnome generate thumbnails? I found an article describing how to add support for more thumbnails but the default mechanism is apparently not implemented the same way
[18:52] <Dany0> trism, I'll try...
[18:52] <Dany0> thanks
[18:54] <Dany0> trism, made some errors while installing, removed installed again it seems like it workd
[18:54] <Dany0> *s
[18:54] <shaxs> Hello
[18:54] <CaptainPlanet> I found a cool way of finding the manuals for the programs I use in Ubuntu.  Wanna know how?  You might already, but it'll be good for the discussion/other users.
[18:55] <trism> Dany0: what were the errors?
[18:55] <iceroot> CaptainPlanet: man programname?
[18:55] <CaptainPlanet> Yep.
[18:55] <Dany0> trism, I have no idea; "alt+f2 r" and off we go it works
[18:55] <CaptainPlanet> Love that command!  Really helpful too.
[18:55] <iceroot> CaptainPlanet: man man :)
[18:56] <Dany0> trism, oh yeah something about newer version available and then can't write to xml
[18:56] <bytesaber_work> any idears?    http://pastebin.com/nKybbhnX
[18:56] <iceroot> CaptainPlanet: there is also "apropos searchstring" and "info command"
[18:56] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: first idea: dont use a root-shell
[18:56] <Dany0> CaptainPlanet, man is here since 1960's
[18:57] <bytesaber_work> iceroot, any ideas about the problem?
[18:57] <bytesaber_work> iceroot, sudo is pointless if you're just going to type sudo every time.
[18:57] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: its not
[18:57] <bytesaber_work> iceroot, sudo was meant for setting up other users with restricted access.
[18:57] <CaptainPlanet> Lol
[18:57] <bytesaber_work> anyhow, any ideas about the lib?
[18:57] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: root-shell is useless and will break things more easily
[18:58] <bytesaber_work> iceroot, ok
[18:58] <bytesaber_work> iceroot, any ideas about the lib?
[18:58] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: also  apt-file search /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6   is not finding anything on 11.10
[18:58] <moo-> how can i find the list of bugs that affect most people?
[18:58] <bytesaber_work> hmm
[18:58] <bytesaber_work> it appears to be installed *shrug*
[18:58] <kamilnadeem> Hi
[18:58] <kamilnadeem> guys I am facing quite a few problems on kubuntu 11.10 off late
[18:58] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: mom i will update my database
[18:59] <CaptainPlanet> i'm guessing the worst thing you could do is "sudo apt-get remove linux" or something like that? Lmao
[18:59] <kamilnadeem> the sound of the system goes out randomly and then
[18:59] <kamilnadeem> when irun a video file , the player will hang
[18:59] <kamilnadeem> same case while watching youtube
[18:59] <kamilnadeem> also the desktop shell has crashed one time too mnay
[18:59] <kamilnadeem> on me after the 4.7.3 update
[18:59] <kamilnadeem> why is all this happening?
[18:59] <Dany0> trism, thanks
[18:59] <bytesaber_work> iceroot, this is a 10.04 lts  if that matters
[18:59] <CaptainPlanet> Wait---this channel is for 10.04??
[19:00] <CaptainPlanet> like only?
[19:00] <omegalimit> no
[19:00] <CaptainPlanet> oh. k
[19:00] <iceroot> CaptainPlanet: its for every stable ubuntu which is not EOL
[19:00] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: can you do a "dpkg -S /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6"
[19:01] <bytesaber_work> iceroot, http://pastebin.com/3QZDxG7p
[19:02] <rumpe1> bytesaber_work, hm... perhaps because the version isn't exactly 3.4.14 but 4.4.3?
[19:02] <bytesaber_work> rumpe1, could be *shrug*  kinda wondred that
[19:02] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: very nice with that sudo :)
[19:02] <CaptainPlanet> How do I log onto the UbuntuOne-Omg!Ubuntu-let's-talk-about-random-fun-stuffs channel?
[19:02] <bytesaber_work> iceroot, >; )
[19:02] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: i also thing its related to the version
[19:03] <bytesaber_work> ok
[19:03] <bytesaber_work> sounds good
[19:03] <shaxs> Is there an easy way to use say apt-get to install the x.org open source ati driver?
[19:03] <badapple> are you trying to build something from source or installing a package and receiving that error?
[19:03] <bytesaber_work> i'm trying the from site 1.3.8 version of synergy.   It's newer than the supplied one in 10.04.   I'll keep at the supplied older .deb
[19:03] <CaptainPlanet> Nvm, I found it! :D
[19:03] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: but you dont need sudo for dpkg -S :)
[19:04] <bytesaber_work> heh heh true
[19:04] <iceroot> bytesaber_work: yes thats the best way, only use the newer version with a newer ubuntu-version
[19:05] <CaptainPlanet> Is there a command that can fix Ubuntu and/or Unity?
[19:07] <phunyguy_work> CaptainPlanet, is there a command to ban all trolls from this channel?
[19:07] <phunyguy_work> =D
[19:09] <CaptainPlanet> My bad!  I don't mean to be trolling.  I'm still new to Linux, so it's kinda confusing.  =/
[19:09] <MonkeyDust> what do you want to repair?
[19:09] <Barbarian> What's wrong, CaptainPlanet?
[19:10] <oupateddie> is 11.10 only available with unity?
[19:10] <MonkeyDust> oupateddie: yes
[19:10] <Barbarian> !nounity | oupateddie
[19:10] <MonkeyDust> ah, 'only'
[19:10] <bytesaber_work> i bet the unity thing comes in here a 100 times a day
[19:10] <CaptainPlanet> Unity or Ubuntu seems to be broken (I don't know what the heck I'm talking about LOL).  I don't get what's going on with Ubuntu right now, but it's not behaving normally.
[19:10] <Barbarian> bytesaber_work, thats why nounity exists :P
[19:11] <bytesaber_work> Barbarian, lol whats that
[19:11] <Barbarian> !nounity | bytesaber_work
[19:11] <bytesaber_work> i hate that compiz is even broken for gnome3 now
[19:11] <bytesaber_work> Barbarian, right.
[19:11] <bytesaber_work> Barbarian, guess i knew that
[19:11] <oupateddie> !classic
[19:12] <oupateddie> !notunity
[19:12] <Barbarian> CaptainPlanet, any chance you could either be more specific, or post a screenshot somewhere?
[19:12] <bytesaber_work> i hopped over to LTS again.   just so i could have gnome + compiz.    i'm weird i guess for liking my rotating cube
[19:12]  * saymoo wish ubuntu used the vanilla gnome instead of the current mumbo jumbo crappy unity shell...
[19:12] <pnorman> My 11.10 didn't come with unity by default. It came with bash
[19:13] <bytesaber_work> is the ubuntu community in general accepting Unity?
[19:13] <Barbarian> saymoo, it's to be able to use the interface seamlessly when they jump to mobile devices
[19:13] <badapple> I'm not I switched to fedora
[19:13] <CaptainPlanet> I can't post a screenshot because I'm using the chat channel with my netbook. =/  My laptop is the one that has ubuntu on it.
[19:13] <Barbarian> CaptainPlanet, details then. Can you describe whats going wrong?
[19:13] <saymoo> Barbarian, yes, they should make two editions... each edition with their special needs
[19:13] <bytesaber_work> badapple, i enjoy fedora, but it's always dead by the time i get it all configured and a new release is out.
[19:14] <saymoo> as they used to do
[19:14] <bytesaber_work> i used to just use plain ol debian alot.
[19:14] <CaptainPlanet> I'll try.  One second---let me figure out what it is that I'm looking at.  Lol
[19:14] <Barbarian> saymoo, default is always gonna be tailored to newbies, and from experience with them unity is easier for them. Joy of linux is that you can change the defaults any which way you like.
[19:15] <Myrtti> just a reminder for everyone that you can discuss the differenceses of GnomeShell, Unity and Gnome2 in #ubuntu-offtopic as this channel is strictly for support issues
[19:15] <saymoo> this unity, (for desktops) makes Ubuntu (and indirectly GNU/Linux) newcomers and novices a bad taste of what this new OS is all about.
[19:15] <christian_lappy> hwot disable pulse  ?
[19:15] <Barbarian> Myrtti, didn't know that channel existed, thanks for that
[19:16] <zykotick9_> christian_lappy, for one program you can use "pasuspender foo"
[19:17] <christian_lappy> zykotick9_: ok..i have teamspeak using pulse and want give wine direct access to alsa..will that work ?
[19:17] <kernelpanicker> ajoin #.inux
[19:17] <CaptainPlanet> Okay, so my menu bar seems to be working fine again, but my launch bar is messed up because I have the functioning Unity 3D launch bar on top of my crashy not working 2D launch bar.  There's a process in the terminal that's still going, and it's just yelling at me with warning messages.  I think it is because Unity crashed earlier or when I tried to reset it in the command line.
[19:17] <zykotick9_> christian_lappy, no idea - good luck :)
[19:18] <christian_lappy> haha
[19:18] <saymoo> Barbarian, i'm done with these "markisms" (markism = Mark (shuttleworth) his wish, is ubuntu developers command.. meaning if he want something to be included by default, it will be done, no matter if it sucks or not... HE does not care about the community apparently)
[19:18] <Myrtti> saymoo: please take it to some other channel, this channel is for support only.
[19:18] <marsfligth> How to set the 'old' Gnome menu? I mean the one with menus, basically that is default in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Thanks
[19:19] <Barbarian> CaptainPlanet, any idea what the process is?
[19:19] <Barbarian> !nounity | marsfligth
[19:19] <ThinkT510> saymoo: have you tried alternatives? xubuntu, kubuntu, lubuntu? if you don't like unity, don't use it
[19:19] <LiNuX`sup> is there a way to get network folders to show for example when clicking on upload from a website to upload a picture and it's in a network folder... network folders even ones that are bookmarked do not appear
[19:19] <CaptainPlanet> let me find my task manager.
[19:20] <saymoo> ThinkT510, that's not my point ;) but i am not allowed to discuss this any further (see post of myrtti), so stop that (respecting the request) :)
[19:21] <saymoo> i*
[19:21] <LiNuX`sup> anyone?
[19:21] <jakklyn> Halo
[19:21] <oupateddie> can one rollback from 11.10 to 11.04?
[19:22] <Barbarian> LiNuX`sup, didn't respond because I have no idea ^^
[19:22] <ThinkT510> oupateddie: no
[19:22] <h00k> oupateddie: nicely, no.
[19:22] <Barbarian> oupateddie, not without wiping the partition and re-installing from scratch
[19:22] <jakklyn> NO
[19:22] <CaptainPlanet> Nope, I can't tell which one it is.  Umm.... I got a message that says this:  " ** (gnome-system-monitor:1358): WARNING **: SELinux was found but is not enabled. "  Is that bad?  =O
[19:22] <saymoo> yes... but with too much effort ;)
[19:22] <h00k> Although, if you keep your /home on a separate partition, it may make things like reinstallations easy and not so devistating
[19:22] <h00k> or do backups, or something
[19:23] <jakklyn> SELINUX IS FEDORA HUE
[19:23] <shaxs> I have installed both 10.4 and 11.10. I have a Radeon 3450. Anytime I keep the Radeon in there the system runs slow, mouse moves super choppy ect. If I remove the video card and use on board, it runs great. I have tried installing Catalyst/fglrx and that didnt help.  I think it's only fail which isn't anything major is it's issues with compiz
[19:25] <phunyguy_work> hahaha awesome.
[19:25] <jakklyn> IM INNOCENT
[19:25] <enchilado> LiNuX`sup: I have been using Unity for months.
[19:25] <Barbarian> Instaban
[19:25] <Barbarian> nice
[19:25] <enchilado> I still don’t like it.
[19:25] <pangolin> jakklyn: drop the caps and mind your language please
[19:25] <trinimoses> hi all
[19:26] <llutz> enchilado: then don't use it
[19:26] <jakklyn> OK
[19:26] <phunyguy_work> so he says OK with caps.
[19:26] <phunyguy_work> fantastic.
[19:26] <Barbarian> rofl
[19:26] <trinimoses> I am getting an error in my apache2 log about favicon.ico not found
[19:26] <pangolin> phunyguy_work: I'll handle it.
[19:26] <jakklyn> WHATS THE DEAL BUCKO
[19:26] <trinimoses> how can i stop this error
[19:26] <trinimoses> i dont have a favicon.ico
[19:26] <phunyguy_work> wow, really? ok.
[19:26] <LiNuX`sup> well to each their own...  :)
[19:26] <iceroot> trinimoses: then create a favicon.ico if you want it
[19:26] <phunyguy_work> lol
[19:27] <enchilado> llutz: I won’t be for much longer, but I’m getting a new computer very soon so I’m not bothering to install anything else on this one
[19:27] <iceroot> trinimoses: or download an exisiting
[19:27] <LiNuX`sup> personally the only thing I miss is my pretty compiz effects
[19:27] <Barbarian> trinimoses, Try making one (theres a million web-based image converters online) and see if putting one in there fixes it
[19:27] <cblondin> anyone else here using Irssi?
[19:27] <MonkeyDust> cblondin: yes
[19:27] <Myrtti> cblondin: plenty of people
[19:27] <iceroot> !anyone | cblondin
[19:27] <iceroot> cblondin: #irssi
[19:27] <llutz> enchilado: there are about hundreds of other DE/WMs, just pick a different one.
[19:28] <iceroot> there should be a automated message from ubottu if someone is starting with "anyone"
[19:28] <Barbarian> And pangolin smoteth the infidel. :P
[19:29] <MonkeyDust> anyone knows how to write such an automated script? :p
[19:29] <enchilado> llutz: I know… I’m probably going to try another distro first though, I’ve only ever used Ubuntu and, some years ago, Fedora
[19:29] <ninucs> debian ftw
[19:29] <iceroot> ninucs: #debian
[19:29] <machiolate> what's the purpose of adding a signing key for a program? what exactly does this do?
[19:30] <ninucs> i use ubuntu mainly because of my weird internet connection here at the barrackss, i'm not able to get a recent version of debian
[19:30] <machiolate> cool ninucs, what branch?
[19:30] <llutz> ninucs: tell in #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:31] <ninucs> machiolate: you can verify that you get a genuine version
[19:31] <ninucs> llutz: what to tell?
[19:31] <machiolate> ahh, ok cool. thanks.
[19:31] <llutz> ninucs: all your offtopic stuff
[19:31] <ninucs> ah, sry ;)
[19:31] <saymoo> each topic in ontopic, since it's a topic on it's own ;)
[19:32] <saymoo> so offtopic in essence does not exist
[19:32] <saymoo> :P
[19:32] <machiolate> where would I add this? " curl https://www.kismetwireless.net/code/dists/kismet-release.gpg | sudo apt-key add - " <------ to my sources.list?
[19:33] <llutz> machiolate: just run it once
[19:33] <machiolate> ahh, ok. so just type it into the terminal?
[19:33] <Barbarian> yup
[19:33] <llutz> machiolate: yes, it will get the gpg-key and add it to your system
[19:34] <NesSe> Hi! Does someone know if its possible to install mysql 5.5 on Ubuntu server 11.10? i only find packages for mysql 5.1
[19:34] <Barbarian> saymoo, Which means offtopic is just an excuse to have a normal conversation that meanders through different topics
[19:35] <machiolate> nice, thanks again llutz.
[19:35] <h00k> saymoo, Barbarian: please keep the conversation here ontopic. You're aware of #ubuntu-offtopic.  Thanks :)
[19:35] <Barbarian> :P
[19:35] <saymoo> hehe
[19:35] <saymoo> :P
[19:35] <machiolate> are you a reservist llutz?
[19:35] <llutz> machiolate: nope
[19:36] <machiolate> which branch?
[19:36] <NesSe> my question is in this topic right ?:)
[19:36] <h00k> !ot | machiolate
[19:36] <ninucs> NesSe: why didnÄt you look for it at the distributors website?
[19:36] <machiolate> Anyways, thanks for your service.
[19:36] <saymoo> NesSe, yes itś possible (if there is no ppa you could always compile it from sourcecode).
[19:36] <llutz> NesSe: you'll need to find a ppa with that version or build it yourself
[19:36] <machiolate> That is all.
[19:37] <shaxs> so it seems as though ati support in linux isnt as good as the support for nividia?
[19:37] <saymoo> shaxs, i run with AMD cards, no problems here (runs fast!)
[19:38] <phunyguy_work> shaxs, the open source drivers actually work quite well
[19:38] <shaxs> saymoo im trying to run a hadeon 3450 and as soon as I click my name to login it runs but slow
[19:38] <phunyguy_work> just not sure on gaming performance.
[19:38] <shaxs> very choppy mouse movement like I am remote logged in via the internet...driving me nuts
[19:40] <shaxs> I dont need gaming performance
[19:40] <shaxs> just desktop performance
[19:40] <phunyguy_work> did you install the restricted driver?
[19:40] <phunyguy_work> if so, remove it.
[19:40] <phunyguy_work> i had issues with it as well..  Dual monitors wouldn't work
[19:40] <lars__> hello
[19:40] <shaxs> I have tried installing Catalyst/fglrx and that didnt help. I then purged that driver and all x.org ati related drivers
[19:41] <fission6> i made myself have sudo privellages but it ask me for my password if i do sudo ls or something any ideas how to fix this
[19:41] <saymoo> shaxs, ok, well i have a HD6850 with amd drivers, and i can run quite everything (incl. 3d) witout hickups
[19:41] <shaxs> saymoo so weird. This card was jsut pulled from my main desktop no issues
[19:42] <vip_> hello. can someone tell me please how to add time to mplayer config. ?
[19:43] <saymoo> shaxs, i honestly couldn't tell you what it could be.. (since i have no personal bad referencing point to compare)
[19:43] <_6i> hi guys, i played around  with using jack instead of alsa for a couple of apps, and i ended up somehow making my audio-in unusable -> it's so quiet, that even with max input volume in alsa (over 100%) i get only 1 bar when i hit the mic against the desk (for more subtle stimuli there is no indication of any input..)
[19:43] <_6i> when booting from usb, all works fine
[19:44] <_6i> anyone, any idea?
[19:45] <mant1s> anyone ever have trouble getting Ubuntu installed on an old SCSI seagate cheetah?
[19:45] <machiolate> what is the apt-get command when installing a program to use in order to make sure that you are promted at every possible issue during the install? i.e. that nothing is assumed
[19:45] <vip_> hello. can someone tell me please how to add time to mplayer config. ?
[19:46] <bekks> mant1s: Just ask what you really want to know.
[19:47] <_6i> vip_: time? what do mean?
[19:47] <mant1s> bekks: okay..anyone know if there's a driver for an old SCSI seagate cheetah drive...?
[19:47] <bcx> Hi there, I am having a strange problem where my server boots
[19:48] <bcx> but only after I am sitting at the initramfs prompt
[19:48] <bcx> and type exit
[19:48] <bcx> I don't see any errors in the syslog
[19:48] <bcx> I tried increasing the rootdelay
[19:48] <bekks> mant1s: A harddisk never needed a driver. The scsi controller does need one.
[19:48] <bekks> mant1s: Which install CD did you use?
[19:48] <vip_> normaly u need to press o to mplayer show u time of track I want to he show that by default
[19:48] <bcx> it seems that the only thing that matters is I type exit, at the initramfs
[19:48] <_6i> vip_: you might want to consider writing to #mplayer channel
[19:48] <mant1s> bekks: ubuntu server 32
[19:49] <bekks> mant1s: Which Ubuntu version?
[19:49] <vip_> thanks I didnt know so they have channel
[19:50] <steph_> hello, does anyone know of an active channel discussing Live  USB creation?
[19:50] <mant1s> bekks: it's a poweredge 6450 ;)
[19:50] <_6i> vip_: i would use the command-line parameter explained in the manual page (man mplayer)
[19:50]  * mant1s learns how to use google
[19:50] <bekks> mant1s: Thats not an Ubuntu version.
[19:50] <webroasters> hi guys. I'm trying to get some videos off of  a canon hd cmos camcorder, and I've got it mounted, and I can see files, but not one particular file like a AVI or similar
[19:51] <mant1s> bekks: ubuntu server 10.04.3 32bit
[19:51] <webroasters> is there a catch or do I need to download a piece of software to do this?
[19:51] <steph_> webroaster-you may have to convert the files into your preferred format.
[19:52] <webroasters> but there's no particular video, it's a bunch of folders with other information inside of them.
[19:52] <steph_> hmmm. some video format has strange file extention.
[19:53] <steph_> check the size of your files and see if any are big
[19:54] <avinashhm> HI , is there any way to check what package a command is a part of ; example scp is a part of openssh-server .. any way to find openssh-server from scp  ?
[19:55] <Micheal`> provides
[19:55] <vip_> that option is not included over there. i read that all ready
[19:55] <llutz> avinashhm: dpkg -L package, dpkg -S file (to find packages), apt-file search
[19:56] <Micheal`> sorry that was yum on the brain
[19:56] <bllz> Hello!  How should I go about enabling cloned display to vga via the command line?  I'm using nvidia proprietary drivers and I don't have access to a WM
[19:57] <_6i> vip_:  i've written to you in priv
[19:57] <bllz> In other words, is it possible to configure nvidia's twin-view without using nvidia-settings?
[19:57] <_6i> bliz: xinerama?
[19:57] <zykotick9> _6i, twinview is nvidia's version of xinerama
[19:58] <avinashhm> llutz, excellent ... dpkg commands i verfied ; but is it apt-file search ? i don't have apt-file ...
[19:58] <basilic3> hello all, I do a mistake, I have remove the libc.so.6 from my system, please help me
[19:58] <kool_tool> Have the scanner bugs been fixed in 11.10?
[19:58] <avinashhm> llutz, even " apt-cache search filename " isn't the one
[19:58] <llutz> avinashhm: apt-file doesn't come by default, it also searches packages not installed which makes it handy
[19:59] <_6i> zykotick9: that is why i suggested xinerama instead
[19:59] <avinashhm> llutz, got it ... i ll install apt-file .. thanks very much man
[19:59] <qirk> Is it possible to adjust "lines per twofingervertscroll" somehow? Would like a smooth scroll as on mac
[19:59] <_6i> zykotick9: it can be set up from xorg.conf
[20:00] <bllz> _6i:  Sorry, I didn't catch your message -- my username has 2 L's =)
[20:00] <zykotick9> _6i, so can twinview ;)
[20:01] <bllz> zykotick9, Do you know where I could find information about setting up twinview non-graphically?
[20:01] <Guest72710> hey guys, help please! I have two graphics cards! why? and how do I know which one I am using?
[20:01] <zykotick9> bllz, you'd need to configure it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf - but no i don't have a link handy.  Good luck.
[20:02] <bllz> zykotick9, ok thanks anyway!
[20:02] <PowerTeam> I wanna play som good all .mod and .xm files. What is the recomende player for use in ubuntu
[20:03] <_6i> bliz: i would use xorg.conf
[20:03] <ThinkT510> _6i: you keep misspelling his nick, its bllz not bliz
[20:04] <CaptainPlanet> what's the command to log out?
[20:04] <llutz> bllz:  http://pastebin.com/0KJvDuLR     maybe it helps you
[20:04] <bllz> _6i, I assumed as much, but do you have any information on how to do this?
[20:04] <bllz> llutz, thank you!
[20:04] <bllz> ThinkT510, thanks ;-)
[20:04] <CaptainPlanet> or a keyboard shortcut?
[20:05] <RudyValencia> How do I put Linux experience on a resume?
[20:05] <RudyValencia> "Linux: Any distribution or from source"?
[20:05] <haylo_> CaptainPlanet, i reccomend find ing the place to change you keybind it is under sytstem settings- RudyValencia tell them you are an awesome haxer
[20:05] <bllz> RudyValencia, open a word processor, type the words, hit ctrl + p =)
[20:05] <bekks> RudyValencia: What is "linux experience"?
[20:06] <RudyValencia> I am writing a technician resume
[20:06] <RudyValencia> and I'm trying to put my skillset
[20:06] <MonkeyDust> RudyValencia: there's this lady Carla Schroder
[20:06] <haylo_> tell them you have experience networking systems running propriatary and free system resources
[20:06] <bekks> RudyValencia: That doesnt have much to do with Ubuntu support I guess :)
[20:06] <RudyValencia> OK
[20:07] <Resistance> RudyValencia:  can i /query you for a sec?
[20:07] <RudyValencia> sure
[20:07] <_6i> bllz: sorry, and in the man page `man xorg.conf' try reading about `Option "LeftOf"' and the similar ones
[20:08] <_6i> bllz: i think it should go in the monitor section, but you'll see
[20:08] <zykotick9> PowerTeam, see if ubuntu has opencubicplayer, it's kinda retro-neat
[20:08] <bllz> llutz, I see in your xorg.conf that you have the option "TwinView" set to "1".  My current xorg.conf has "DynamicTwinView" set to "False" ... do you know if these parameters are equivalent?
[20:09] <magooster> hello
[20:09] <_6i> bllz: btw, i would recommend reading through the whole manual page -- it took me som time to gather the strength, but it was highly informative
[20:09] <natschil> Hello. I have a (password protected) ssh certificate in my home folder for one particular computer. However, even if I connect to other computers, it asks for the password for that certificate. Is there a way to get around this?
[20:09] <bllz> _6i, yes it may well come to that =)
[20:09] <magooster> where can i get help with Thunderbird?
[20:09] <llutz> bllz: idk
[20:10] <PowerTeam> zykes-,
[20:10] <PowerTeam> zykotick9, il check it out
[20:10] <onikk> hi, is there anyone online who'd have the time/patience/expertise to help me enable HDMI output on optimus+ion2?
[20:10] <magooster> where can i get help with Thunderbird?
[20:12] <Barbarian> onikk, you got either ironhide or bumblebee yet?
[20:12] <bllz> If I wanted to set the default monitor to be my external monitor connected via VGA, is "xrandr --output VGA-0 --primary" a safe way to do it?  Is this permanent?
[20:13] <onikk> Barbarian: I tried Ironhide but couldn't get the output working, just the acceleration
[20:14] <Barbarian> onikk, Ok, thats a step in the right direction. Just doing some reading to find out what ion2 is, brb
[20:14] <_6i> bllz: using xrandr is not permanent
[20:14] <bllz> ok
[20:14] <_6i> bllz: however i recall, there has been a way to set xrandr changes to be permanent...
[20:15] <_6i> bllz: i just dont remember how.. :)
[20:15] <bllz> _6i, I suppose I could always use a startup script =/ ... what the hell, I'll bite the bullet and edit xorg.conf.
[20:15] <bllz> _6i, This now has me thinking of that xkcd comic about xorg.conf =)
[20:15] <steph_> hi, does anyone know if it is possible to resize a partition on usb that contains a bootable os???
[20:15] <bllz> steph_, it should be possible
[20:15] <steph_> I have tried with gparted but get an error...
[20:15] <bllz> steph_, what's the error?
[20:15] <onikk> Barbarian: I think the difficulty is that the HDMI port is on the nvidia chip, not connected to the intel chip...
[20:16] <_6i> bllz: i missed that - link?
[20:16] <steph_>  btw it's formatted fat32, 4gb kingston, with debian live in one big partition...
[20:16] <haylo_> steph_ yes but it can be tricky i have had mixed sucess wiht gparted
[20:16] <bllz> _6i, http://xkcd.com/963/
[20:16] <shaxs> Do you think a AMD Sempron 130 Sargas 2.6GHz would be enough processing power to act as a simple media server?
[20:16] <_6i> bllz: thx
[20:16] <steph_> basically i have one big debian usb partition and i want to make it into persistent...
[20:16] <urto> Hi, how can i change the system graphic in gnome?
[20:17] <PowerTeam> I must say i am very please with the new ubuntu on me netbook, on think i didnt like is the default geust user. but i was pretty easy disabel
[20:17] <bllz> _6i, behold the awful truth!
[20:17] <_6i> steph_: if you don't move the partition (change where it starts on the drive), it should work
[20:17] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[20:17] <_6i> btw, does anyone have any idea about my problem? -> i played around  with using jack instead of alsa for a couple of apps, and i ended up somehow making my audio-in unusable -> it's so quiet, that even with max input volume in alsa (over 100%) i get only 1 bar when i hit the mic against the desk (for more subtle stimuli there is no indication of any input..); when booting from usb, all works fine
[20:18] <steph_> i put no space before the partition, only try to make unallocated space after.
[20:18] <Barbarian> onikk, can't seem to find anyone else with your problem, closest is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1552250 but thats audio, not graphics
[20:18] <marsfligth> !classic
[20:18] <_6i> steph_: i think it should have work, but what the hell, i'm no guru.. :D
[20:19] <ShapeShifter499> I'm trying to set up a certificate authority and I'm getting this error ---> pastebin.com/DcGnH1nA
[20:19] <steph_> _6i: yes me neither
[20:19] <ShapeShifter499> can someone help?
[20:19] <steph_> it  was a big error, but at the end it says:
[20:19] <steph_> libparted messages    ( INFO )
[20:19] <steph_>
[20:19] <steph_> GNU Parted cannot resize this partition to this size. We're working on it!
[20:19] <steph_> The file system is bigger than its volume!
[20:19] <vip_> hi. I have problem with mplayer. I try explain what I want. When I open terminal and show to him path to song ( mp3 ) I have sound and all information about that song. When I click by mouse the same song I have only sound - no info at all. My question is: how to set up mplayer to he show u all information about song when u choose track by mouse, not by typping path in terminal?
[20:19] <FloodBot1> steph_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:19] <onikk> Barbarian: yeah, i've seen audio topics too but nothing about video. it's as if everyone elses HDMI is just plug 'n' play :/
[20:20] <gateway_> i installed ubuntu server 11.10 on a gateway all-in-one series ZX and no image displays on the screen
[20:20] <zykotick9> gateway_, tried nomodeset yet?
[20:20] <zykotick9> !nomodeset > gateway_
[20:21] <borisb> I have a problem, Unity won't start anymore on Ubuntu 11.10. It shows the desktop, icons and desktop menu, but the launcher is not showing (It works if I select 2D at the login screen). It worked fine until I opened compiz settings manager and closed it without changing anything. Please help, it's my wife's laptop and she will bite by head off :)
[20:22] <Barbarian> borisb, try doing compiz --replace in terminal if you can get it open without a launcher
[20:22] <ShapeShifter499> I'm trying to set up a certificate authority and I'm getting this error ---> pastebin.com/DcGnH1nA
[20:22] <borisb> Ican on tty1, would that work?
[20:23] <Barbarian> ttyl?
[20:23] <borisb> ctrl-alt-f1
[20:23] <Barbarian> ah
[20:23] <Barbarian> yeah, if you declare --display 0
[20:23] <borisb> ok, will try
[20:24] <bllz> what does DFP-0 stand for in the context of X11?
[20:24] <gateway_> thanks ubottu and zykotick9 i'm reading ubottu's note
[20:25] <Barbarian> !about
[20:25] <Barbarian> !info
[20:25] <Barbarian> !ubbotu
[20:25] <Barbarian> !ubottu
[20:26] <llutz> bllz: 1st digital output (dvi here)
[20:26] <bllz> llutz:  oh okay that makes sense.  Would this include VGA as well?
[20:26] <llutz> bllz: vga = analog, so i doubt
[20:27] <bllz> llutz do you happen to know the equivalent for analog?
[20:27] <llutz> bllz: nope
[20:27] <bllz> llutz, okay thanks.  your answer shoudl make googling easier =)
[20:28] <llutz> bllz:  CRTx  i guess
[20:28] <bllz> llutz, I suspect you're right
[20:28] <_6i> bllz: i think it was VGA-0 :)
[20:29] <_6i> bllz: (and so on..)
[20:29] <bllz> _6i, of course!  It's staring right at me too
[20:29] <bllz> and another quick question... what's the recommended way of restarting X from the command line?
[20:29] <bllz> I tried /etc/init.d/X11 restart, but the command wasn't found
[20:29] <Lasers> bllz: Restart your GDM/Lightdm instead.
[20:30] <bllz> Lasers, I don't believe I have that installed
[20:30] <_6i> bllz: i don't know about recommended, but i use the same as Lasers said
[20:30] <talmai> lightdm is the gdm substitute for the newest ubuntu?
[20:30] <bllz> Lasers, I'm running an ubuntu minimal install
[20:30] <bllz> talmai, yes
[20:30] <_6i> bllz: you cannot run a wm without a dm
[20:31] <borisb> @barbarian: I'm getting 'Unknown option --reset'
[20:31] <Lasers> talmai: Yes. Since Unity is not Gnome3. They made their own *dm and it's lighter.
[20:31] <bllz> _6i, I'm not running a wm
[20:31] <_6i> bllz: you do not have a graphical environment?
[20:31] <Barbarian> borisb, just did --help, it's --replace, sry
[20:31] <MonkeyDust> cli
[20:31] <bllz> _6i, maybe I'm unclear on what a WM is exactly, but I don't believe I have one.  I do have a graphical environment, however.
[20:32] <MonkeyDust> a window manager lets you open, close and move windows
[20:32] <bllz> MonkeyDust, okay that's how I understood it
[20:32] <bllz> in that case, no, I do not have a WM
[20:32] <bllz> nor do I want one
[20:32] <borisb> @barbarian: "Fatal: Could not open display". I added --display 0, doing from tty1
[20:33] <Barbarian> try from a higher level, like ctrl+alt+F5
[20:33] <Lasers> bllz: Okay. What are you using?
[20:33] <_6i> bllz: the most common dm-s (desktop managers) are (in ubuntu): lightdm (ships with unity), gdm (ships with gnome), kdm (ships with kde)
[20:33] <bllz> Lasers, this is an ubuntu minimal installation
[20:33] <bllz> Lasers, so I have X11, but no WM
[20:33] <munzxttt> hi! .... first is it true that linux 2.6.28 is not managing power properly and the upgraded karnel has solved this issue ?! ... if so ... how can i upgrade it?! .... btw ,,, i tried to upgrade it following steps showed in this website( http://www.howopensource.com/2011/08/how-to-compile-and-install-linux-kernel-3-0-in-ubuntu-11-04-10-10-and-10-04/)but a got an error!
[20:34] <bllz> or rather, X11 was installed post-hoc
[20:34] <whoever> is there a fix /away to install quanta it seems to not be avilable in 11.10
[20:34] <Lasers> bllz: So you're on irssi right now? You can start X11 with "startx" -- It'll read ~/.xinitrc
[20:34] <borisb> @barbarian: nope, still fatal
[20:34] <bllz> Lasers, starting X isn't the problem.  I'd like to restart it
[20:34] <bllz> Lasers, should I just do a killall xorg?
[20:34] <_6i> bllz: how did you start it?
[20:35] <bllz> _6i, it starts at boot
[20:35] <h00k> !kernelcompile | munzxttt this may help you
[20:35] <Barbarian> borisb, Try it again with -v, and see if you get more detail on that error
[20:35] <Guest29953> Hi everyone. I was trying to fix a dual monitor issue and followed some advice saying to delete monitor.xml, unfortunately this cause some serious issues and now 3d unity is broken and system config > monitor only shows one monitor. I
[20:35] <surfdue> Hello
[20:35] <bllz> whatever I'll just restart the machine
[20:36] <Lasers> bllz: Try hitting CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE.
[20:36] <Ziber> Whats the package name for apache mod_rewrite? I can't seem to find it.
[20:36] <borisb> @barbarian: Unknown option -v
[20:36] <_6i> Lasers: won't help
[20:36] <surfdue> I have a bash file that runs after a push from Git, I need to run a fix permissions script after it runs as root, or a priviledged user. Whats the best and safest way to do this?
[20:36] <bllz> Lasers, I should have mentioned this is via SSH.  No keyboard access =/  It's okay though, I just restarted
[20:36] <bllz> the server that is
[20:36] <scrubuntu> Hello! How do I get rid of this message? Enter password to unlock your login keyring  The password you use to log in to your computer no longer matches that of your login keyring.
[20:36] <surfdue> The user running the bash script is git, an unpriviledged member who only has access to the web directory
[20:36] <_6i> ctrl+alt+backspace restarts the dm if the key combination is even enabled
[20:37] <munzxttt> ubottu : thanks , actually i am a newbie and i dont know what's the benefit of compiling it by my own! :)
[20:38] <slinzex> how can I make identical copy of SOURCE in DESTINATION ? I have problems with files like arcívo
[20:38] <munzxttt> ubottu : lolz :) you are intelligent :)
[20:38] <Barbarian> borisb, Ok, this probably wont work, but worth a try: same thing, but --display:0
[20:38] <Guest29953> is there  a way to rebuild the monitor.xml?
[20:38] <_6i> bllz: i'm guessing here, but maybe `sudo service x11-common restart' could have worked
[20:38] <Lasers> scrubuntu: Install seahorse. You can use blank password (for unsafe) without any password prompt or put in a new password.
[20:39] <Guest29953> I've logged out/in, reset-up nvida-settings, rebooted but there's no monitor.xml
[20:39] <bllz> _6i, I'll give it a shot in about 30s
[20:40] <borisb> @Barbarian: I made a .sh file and ran it, which gave me terminal in X session. I ran 'compiz --replace' from it and it reset the compositioning but still no unity...
[20:40] <Barbarian> borisb, Ok, now type "unity" in terminal
[20:41] <we2seek> hi 2 all
[20:41] <WeissWaschbaer> i need to modprobe pcspkr at startup, how to proceed?
[20:42] <_6i> bllz: i never tried it however -> i always restart the dm with `restart lightdm/gdm/kdm' or `service lightdm/gdm/kdm restart' or `/etc/init.d/lightdm restart' (-||- for gdm & kdm)
[20:42] <scrubuntu> Lasers: Thanks dude
[20:42] <Lasers> scrubuntu: NP.
[20:43] <_6i> WeissWaschbaer: there is a file you have to put the modules name in, but i can't recall which
[20:44] <_6i> WeissWaschbaer: but i remember, it contains only module names, no commands and such
[20:44] <WeissWaschbaer> hmm
[20:44] <Ludo237> Hello :D
[20:45] <machiolate> what is the equivalent of ./configure for ubuntu?
[20:45] <borisb> @Barbarian: Typing 'unity' does nothing. Only suspicious thing is the first line 'unity-panel-service: no process found'
[20:45] <_6i> WeissWaschbaer: i read a tutorial once, where i had to load a module "manually"...i'll try to look it up..
[20:45] <machiolate> or do i need to install ./configure?
[20:45] <Barbarian> borisb, unity --replace also does nothing?
[20:46] <andrew-m> how do you generate a monitor.xml config file?
[20:46] <ThinkT510> machiolate: what are you trying to compile?
[20:46] <h00k> martian: ./configure works, if you're compiling something?
[20:46] <machiolate> kismet
[20:46] <Lasers> machiolate: Check the database for existing package first. Check PPA. If you're not familiar, use ./configure as a last resort. Also, see !checkinstall
[20:46] <h00k> machiolate: kismet is in the repos
[20:47] <h00k> machiolate: you don't need to compile it, you can just apt-get install kismet, or use the Software Center
[20:47] <iceroot> h00k: sudo apt-get install kismet
[20:47] <WeissWaschbaer> _6i: ok ill try looking for it also
[20:47] <iceroot> h00k: wrong nick
[20:47] <machiolate> i'm trying to run it with suid/root privelages which requires downloading, compiling
[20:47] <iceroot> machiolate: sudo apt-get install kismet
[20:47] <machiolate> if i apt-get install i can only run as root it says
[20:48] <h00k> machiolate: so, 'gksudo kismet' from a terminal to run it as root
[20:48] <borisb> @barbarian: what's the equiv. of 'stop gdm' in 11.10?
[20:48] <surfdue> any idea?
[20:48] <iceroot> borisb: sudo service gdm stop
[20:48] <machiolate> i don't want to run as root
[20:48] <machiolate> i'm trying to run it more secure
[20:48] <ThinkT510> iceroot: 11.10 uses lightdm by default, not gdm
[20:48] <h00k> machiolate: then you're not going to get the features that it needs root for
[20:49] <_6i> WeissWaschbaer: patience, i already remembered what the tutorial was for..
[20:49] <machiolate> you can h00k, but you need to compile it by yourself, it takes some work & configuring. i figured it would be a good learning experience
[20:49] <iceroot> borisb: then lightdm if that is the default (i dont know i am not running gnome/unity)
[20:49] <borisb> @iceroot: ty
[20:49] <_6i> WeissWaschbaer: i should have it bookmarked
[20:49] <machiolate> only certain elements of kismet are run as root when you use the suid method of installing
[20:49] <iceroot> machiolate: its always a good idea to be interested in something and learn new things
[20:50] <llutz> machiolate: running it suid/root is as bad as using sudo. it runs with root-permission in both cases.
[20:50] <borisb> @barbarian: nope, 'unity --replace
[20:50] <machiolate> it starts as root then changes to a simple user, isn't that better than just staying as root?
[20:50] <borisb> still does nothing\
[20:50] <whoever> is quanta/quanta -plus really dead?? , not activly developed/maintained?
[20:50] <llutz> machiolate: doesn't make a real difference
[20:50] <machiolate> hell, the developers claim its more secure! wouldn't they know! lol
[20:50] <Barbarian> borisb, Well, you could always sudo apt-get remove --purge unity, then sudo apt-get install unity. Thatd be sure to reset it.

[20:50] <AdhamSabry> hi
[20:50] <machiolate> so they're just pulling my leg eh?
[20:51] <iceroot> whoever: have a look at the site from the maintainers
[20:51] <_6i> WeissWaschbaer: it seams, the file is /etc/modules
[20:51] <bllz> llutz, _6i, Xorg.conf == great success!  Thank you so much for your help!
[20:51] <llutz> bllz: yw
[20:51] <whoever> iceroot: it looks down, can't reach it so didn't know if they are having site problems or dead
[20:51] <_6i> WeissWaschbaer: open your /etc/modules file and add the modulename to the list of modules
[20:51] <bllz> _6i, and the easiest way to kill X11 ended up being "killall Xorg" followed by "startx".  Ugly, but functional =)
[20:52] <AdhamSabry> I have added gnome 3 source to the rep. to be able to update it if there are any updates released, but then I'm unable to open ubuntu software center anymore, so I went back to the reps. and removed it but then I still unable, rebooted many times, and still the problem exists
[20:52] <iceroot> machiolate: but more secure is to use software from the repos which is getting security-updates. compiling stuff by your own will not get any security-updates
[20:52] <iceroot> whoever: ah ok
[20:52] <_6i> WeissWaschbaer: If you are using a standard Ubuntu kernel, this should be all you need to do.
[20:52] <AdhamSabry> and here is the error: E:Type 'ain' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-oneiric.list
[20:52] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: paste that file please
[20:52] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: also gnome3 is in the 11.10 repos
[20:53] <AdhamSabry> which file please?
[20:53] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-oneiric.list
[20:53] <dtoebe> How do I add a path to my bash file for a file in my home folder [using 10.10, with an unencrypted home folder]
[20:53] <machiolate> ok ... I guess I'll just install with the package manager
[20:53] <llutz> dtoebe: create and use ~/bin for own executables, it will be added to your path
[20:53] <Lasers> dtoebe: Put it in ~/bin and hope it works.
[20:53] <reisi> can pulseaudio be configured to always output to both audio devices (integrated and hdmi)?
[20:53] <machiolate> if that's the case
[20:54] <AdhamSabry> there is nothing but "ain" in it, iceroot
[20:54] <c3ll> hey guys
[20:54] <reisi> or somehow auto-switch the outputs (when hdmi is in use, use it, otherwise integrated)
[20:54] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: then delete that file
[20:54] <Barbarian> hey c3ll
[20:54] <dtoebe> Lasers: not sure what that means
[20:54] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: after that it should be working again
[20:54] <AdhamSabry> what is the delete command in terminal please?
[20:54] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: rm
[20:54] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-oneiric.list
[20:55] <Lasers> dtoebe: Create a directory 'bin' in your home directory. /home/dtoebe/bin.  Put the bash script there.
[20:55] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: and please remeber, gnome3 is in the 11.10 repos already, you just have to install "gnome-shell" with "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell"
[20:55] <AdhamSabry> I installed it iceroot
[20:55] <AdhamSabry> but it's not there...
[20:55] <adi11> hello everyone. i am having a very funny time with  my ubuntu and i cant seem to find whats going on. latest 11.10 installed on hp dv 6700 amd cpu, nvidia card with proprietary 285 drivers installed, hdd 200gb, dual boot with win7. it fails to load the sys exactly once every two times. after grub page i choose ubuntu and it starts loading the os. immediatley it send  me on a busybox (initramfs) where i give a ctrl+alt+del. after reboot it loads g
[20:56] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: you have to choose gnome3 in the logon-screen as a session
[20:56] <munzxttt> hi! ... how can i upgrade linux kernel  to 3.1 on ubuntu ?!
[20:56] <munzxttt> hi! ... how can i upgrade linux kernel  to 3.1 on ubuntu 11.04 ?!
[20:56] <iceroot> !backports | munzxttt
[20:56] <AdhamSabry> here are the files there iceroot: atareao-atareao-oneiric.list	   sargentd-beaverdbg-oneiric.list	atareao-atareao-oneiric.list.save  sargentd-beaverdbg-oneiric.list.save  n-muench-burg-oneiric.list	   webupd8team-gnome3-oneiric.list	n-muench-burg-oneiric.list.save    webupd8team-gnome3-oneiric.list.save
[20:56] <iceroot> munzxttt: is there a special reason you need 3.1?
[20:56] <adi11> i have never had a trick like this in ubuntu.
[20:57] <adi11> but its like the pc or the os is playing with me.
[20:57] <AdhamSabry> (I'm already using gnome3 iceroot), I'm talking about the update itself
[20:57] <adi11> anyone...
[20:57] <AdhamSabry> I would like it's updates to be included in the update manager
[20:57] <munzxttt> iceroot : i heard and read that 2.6.28 can not manage power properly!
[20:57] <iceroot> munzxttt: 3.1 cant do it too
[20:57] <iceroot> munzxttt: same issue like in 2.6.38
[20:58] <munzxttt> iceroot : :( what about older versions!?
[20:58] <_6i> adi11: haven't you installed ubuntu on an usb stick?.. :D -> some motherboards won't recognize it right after you booted from it
[20:58] <iceroot> munzxttt: imo everything below 2.6.38 is not affected
[20:58] <ardian_> Is PyQt in the repo ?
[20:59] <adi11> _6i : yes
[20:59] <_6i> adi11: the usb stick, not ubuntu
[20:59] <adi11> i installed it fro the usb stick
[20:59] <iceroot> ardian_: find out with "apt-cache search searchstring"
[20:59] <munzxttt> iceroot : so if i fall back to 10.04 would i face the same issue?
[20:59] <_6i> adi11: from is no problem, only to
[20:59] <iceroot> munzxttt: no
[21:00] <adi11> _6i :what do you mean :) i dont understand
[21:00] <iceroot> !info linux-image lucid
[21:00] <ardian_> iceroot, thank you
[21:00] <iceroot> munzxttt: no 10.04 is not affected by that
[21:00] <adi11> i had a iso image of ubuntu and did the install through usb stick
[21:00] <iceroot> munzxttt: but remeber,its not a linux issue, its an issue about bad hardware-developers and strange propitary stuff in that
[21:01] <adi11> _6i : i had a iso image of ubuntu and did the install through usb stic
[21:01] <AdhamSabry> iceroot, how can I know the version of the current gnome that I have?
[21:01] <munzxttt> iceroot : :) .... thanks ! .... one more question plz .... will i need to go through installing drivers headache on 10.04 ... i am linux newbie!
[21:01] <iceroot> munzxttt: normally not, everything should work by default
[21:02] <iceroot> munzxttt: but you can use a live-cd to find out if everything is deteced and working
[21:02] <_6i> adi11: i had run knoppix with a persistent image from a usb stick once (settings and files remain after reboot), and if i restarted, i got a boot failure -> the hardware didn't find the usb stick -> i had to power down and after that it worked again
[21:02] <iamarto> ubuntu 11.10 Rocks. Except for the name maybe, cause I don't get it :)
[21:02] <munzxttt> iceroot : :) thanks you are doing an awesome work! thanks again :) bye!
[21:02] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: i guess "apt-cache policy gnome"
[21:02] <iceroot> !info gnome
[21:03] <hanasaki> is there any target date to fix openjdk7 to not depend on openjdk7?  also to package the sun java7 jdk?
[21:03] <armor-64> Hi I have a problem here!the sound in Ubuntu stopped working!!!!solution??
[21:03] <iceroot> !info gnome lucid
[21:03] <spiky25> good work if it wasn't of unity ...
[21:03] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: yes "apt-cache policy gnome" everything after 1: is the gnome-version
[21:03] <adi11> _6i i used a usb stick to install my ubuntu on my hdd only the first time. now my ubu is on my hdd. and the problem does not concern usb i think..
[21:03] <iceroot> munzxttt: thank you :)
[21:04] <LiNuX`sup> is there a way to enable folder preview of png files for 11.10 without installing compiz?
[21:04] <surfdue> why wont this work? its in the sudoers file "git     ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/fixPermissions.sh"
[21:04] <_6i> adi11: then i have to agree -- no idea then..
[21:04] <iceroot> armor-64: type "alsamixer" and see if something is muted htere
[21:04] <surfdue> git cannot run sudo for that script, still ask for a password
[21:04] <AdhamSabry> alright, iceroot, I hope this make you understand me, the current gnome version is 3.0, while there is 3.2 out there
[21:04] <LiNuX`sup> also is there a preview pane available for 11.10 similar to windows?
[21:05] <llutz> surfdue: you have to add all binaries called by that script to sudoers
[21:05] <_6i> adi11: could you explain your problem a little more clearly?..
[21:05] <adi11> can anyone tell me where to check in order to find whats prevents my os loading after grub screen?
[21:05] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: only a ppa will solve that
[21:05] <surfdue> llutz ok thanks
[21:05] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: or maybe backports from 12.04 but i bet that will kill your system at the moment
[21:05] <AdhamSabry> and how please?
[21:06] <AdhamSabry> I don't understand?
[21:06] <iceroot> !ppa | AdhamSabry
[21:06] <iceroot> !backports | AdhamSabry
[21:06] <armor-64> iceroot: no every thing is 50 %!!!!!something else???
[21:06] <adi11> _6i: a hp laptop. installed ubuntu on it. it goes ok until after grub screen.
[21:07] <AdhamSabry> oh, yes I know ppa, but I believe gnome3 updates ppa is not there
[21:07] <Fusionite> Hey Guys
[21:07] <Fusionite> Question, On my cloak, it says Unaffiliated/Blah
[21:07] <iceroot> armor-64: and not muted? (there is a symbol below that graphs)
[21:07] <adi11> _6i : after that it hangs on the loading ubuntu screen. once every two times.
[21:07] <AdhamSabry> backports, I'm not sure if there is something I have requires "gnome3" updates
[21:07] <Fusionite> How to change to say Ubuntu or something?
[21:07] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: i bet there are ppas for gnome3.2
[21:07] <xangua> AdhamSabry: do you use oneiric¿
[21:08] <AdhamSabry> yes
[21:08] <Randolph> hi all
[21:08] <AdhamSabry> give me the ppa and I will check if it's there
[21:08] <_6i> adi11: if you hit Esc after grub, you will see the programs command-line output which are starting up instead of the startup screen (again Esc switches back to the image)
[21:08] <surfdue> llutz: i added everything in there, git     ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/chmod,/bin/chown,/bin/bash,/usr/bin/fixPermissions.sh and the bash script is set to 331.
[21:08] <surfdue> 311*
[21:08] <adi11> _6i : so my machine practically fail to boot ubuntu 1 out of 2 times
[21:08] <armor-64> iceroot: yes everythning is ok!!!i forgot to mantion that i am using external PCI soundcard!!!
[21:08] <surfdue> still asking for password
[21:08] <xangua> AdhamSabry: then you have gnome 3.2
[21:08] <whoever> in ubuntu 11.10 how are you supose to add apps to the list ?
[21:08] <AdhamSabry> because what I find through google is pretty not there in my ppa list, so I add it and it doesn't work
[21:08] <AdhamSabry> I updated gnome 3 only
[21:08] <xangua> whoever: sudo add-apt-repository "ppa's name"
[21:08] <Fusionite> whoever : Int he side menu bar?
[21:08] <AdhamSabry> but didn't add it's ppa
[21:08] <Fusionite> In the*
[21:08] <armor-64> iceroot : but the pc is reading the card corectly!!
[21:08] <AdhamSabry> didn't work with me
[21:08] <iceroot> armor-64: with f6 you can choose the soundcard, is the correct one selected?
[21:09] <Anton2k> hhahhah funny ice cream men from africa lol now this is funny http://www.clipcrowd.com/2011/11/funny-ice-cream-men/
[21:09] <adi11> _6i: ok i will try that now.
[21:09] <iceroot> armor-64: in alsamixer
[21:09] <AdhamSabry> please, can you xangua and iceroot, send me the ppa?
[21:09] <adi11> thanks
[21:09] <xangua> AdhamSabry: you make no sence, ubuntu oneiric comes with gnome 3.2 by default
[21:09] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: i dont know a ppa about it i am not using gnome anymore, so my only answer to that ppa would be google, sorry
[21:09] <_6i> adi11: when a "bad" boot is in order, hit Esc, and whatch out for any error msgs
[21:09] <llutz> surfdue: 311??? it has to be readable to be executed
[21:09] <Fusionite> whoever : ??
[21:09] <iceroot> xangua: with gnome 3.0
[21:09] <AdhamSabry> well, the current gnome is gnome 3.0
[21:09] <surfdue> llutz: i dont want other users able to see it
[21:09] <AdhamSabry> while there is gnome 3.2 but I dno't have it
[21:10] <iceroot> !info gnome | xangua
[21:10] <whoever> Fusionite: yes the side bar and ie : i had to download vuescan and it does not show up when i search in dash
[21:10] <surfdue> llutz: i thought sudo would make it readable since the users essentially is root
[21:10] <llutz> surfdue:it _has to be readable_ to be executed
[21:10] <adi11> _6i: ok i will do that now and report back :) thanks
[21:10] <surfdue> llutz: works for me under root
[21:10] <AdhamSabry> yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss iceroooooooooot
[21:10] <Fusionite> whoever : Should we do this in a PM??
[21:10] <armor-64> iceroot : yes i check that too but nothing!!!it's weard because one day when i open the pc it wasind working,the on board sound is working!!
[21:10] <iceroot> armor-64: sounds strange, sorry dont know another solution
[21:10] <AdhamSabry> that is what I have iceroot and xangua
[21:10] <whoever> Fusionite:  sure
[21:10] <surfdue> llutz: works now
[21:10] <Fusionite> Okays
[21:10] <surfdue> llutz: still 311
[21:11] <AdhamSabry> !info gnome | xangua
[21:11] <llutz> surfdue: really? ... sry then, i was wrong
[21:11] <surfdue> llutz: ya its funny git cant even read the file with sudo. but can execute it :)
[21:11] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/18
[21:11] <surfdue> isnt that why we have execute, read, write?
[21:11] <surfdue> ;)
[21:11] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: use at your own risk
[21:11] <surfdue> llutz: you did help me with the binaries ty.
[21:11] <_6i> adi11: write in priv if i dont answer
[21:11] <armor-64> iceroot: me too my friend,i consider to format or instaling gnome 3 to see if it is working!by the way in windows 7 the card is working perfect!
[21:12] <llutz> surfdue: ya due to sudo... usual case is hiding scripts from users, which doesn't work if they should run it
[21:12] <_6i> btw, does anyone have any idea about my problem? -> i played around  with using jack instead of alsa for a couple of apps, and i ended up somehow making my audio-in unusable -> it's so quiet, that even with max input volume in alsa (over 100%) i get only 1 bar when i hit the mic against the desk (for more subtle stimuli there is no indication of any input..); when booting from usb, all works fine
[21:12] <iceroot> armor-64: you are not using gnome at the moment?
[21:12] <iceroot> armor-64: i am asking because lubuntu is not using pulse-audio by default
[21:13] <armor-64> iceroot: not event installed,i am using alsamixer,the default by installing ubuntu
[21:13] <iceroot> armor-64: then you should also have pulseaudio when using normal ubuntu
[21:14] <iceroot> armor-64: i am not sure if "pavucontrol" is installed by default but its a nice app to manage volume for different soundcards, maybe have a look there
[21:14] <AdhamSabry> iceroot, I can't actually find the ppa
[21:14] <AdhamSabry> http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/374487
[21:15] <armor-64> iceroot: i give it a shot!w8 a second and i will tell you the result
[21:15] <trism> AdhamSabry: the gnome apps in oneiric are already gnome 3.2, only the gnome meta package is old (gnome-shell version is 3.2.1)
[21:15] <AdhamSabry> Isn't updates are always about new features or improvements or bug fixes? I'm using gnome 3.0 and would like to update it to 3.2, what's the bad in that?
[21:15] <AdhamSabry> trism, I already checked...................
[21:15] <trism> !info gnome-shell | AdhamSabry
[21:15] <AdhamSabry> there is no that
[21:16] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: inside a ubuntu release you will only get security updates, enver feature updates
[21:16] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: because of not changing big things during an update
[21:16] <AdhamSabry> I have installed gnome-shell http://www.gnome.org/gnome-3/ actually seperately after installing ubuntu 11.10
[21:16] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: ah gnome-shell is 3.2 then you are using the latest version
[21:16] <AdhamSabry> I'm not using 3.2
[21:16] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: just use "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell" to get gnome3.2
[21:16] <AdhamSabry> I'm using 3.0000
[21:17] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: you are using gnome3.0 with gnome-shell3.2
[21:17] <AdhamSabry> how can I know the gnome-shell version please?
[21:17] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: apt-cache policy gnome-shell
[21:17] <_6i> does anyone have any idea about my problem? -> i played around  with using jack instead of alsa for a couple of apps, and i ended up somehow making my audio-in unusable -> it's so quiet, that even with max input volume in alsa (over 100%) i get only 1 bar when i hit the mic against the desk (for more subtle stimuli there is no indication of any input..); when booting from usb, all works fine
[21:18] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: or better "apt-cache show gnome-shell"
[21:18] <armor-64> iceroot: sorry to tell this but the program you told me it's telling me that it's working perfectly the sound,i will install gnome and see if it works!!if not then format!!!
[21:18] <iceroot> _6i: sounds like the mic-boost option is missing
[21:19] <AdhamSabry> :D
[21:19] <AdhamSabry> iceroot :D
[21:19] <iceroot> armor-64: and what are you using at the moment when not gnome?
[21:19] <AdhamSabry> :D
[21:19] <AdhamSabry> I guess I was checking the gnome only not the shell :D
[21:19] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: yes me too
[21:19] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: strange gnome-thing
[21:19] <AdhamSabry> yeah
[21:19] <AdhamSabry> well, yes gnome-shell is correct, it's 3.2
[21:20] <_6i> iceroot: any idea how can i turn it back on -> no indication in sound preferences..
[21:20] <iceroot> _6i: good question, i am also always searching for that option
[21:20] <armor-64> iceroot : unity! i give up on gnome becouse gnome 3 is not the style that i like,ubuntu 10.04 style is what i liked much!!!
[21:20] <iceroot> _6i: try "alsamixer" and press "f4"
[21:20] <iceroot> armor-64: for me unity and gnome3 is the same :)
[21:20] <Guest72710> if i have "switchable" graphics how do i switch?  how do i know which one i'm using?
[21:21] <iceroot> Guest72710: nvidia ion?
[21:21] <tiox> I had made a specific-purpose account for my computer with a really long "Real name", and I want to change it so it only displays the username. It would also give me more panel space, so yeah, the incentive of doing this is high.
[21:21] <_6i> iceroot: already tried -- interesting though, that when i boot up the fresh os, from usb, it works fine
[21:21] <armor-64> w8 i will logout and see if threre is change on sound
[21:21] <iceroot> _6i: very strange
[21:21] <Barbarian> Guest72710, If it's nvidia optimus, google ironhide.
[21:21] <armor-64> iceroot :w8 i will logout and see if threre is change on sound
[21:21] <tiox> Ubuntu 11.10 BTW
[21:21] <AdhamSabry> iceroot, will gnome-shell update itself automatically if there is any update released for it, or do I have to have a specific ppa for it added?
[21:21] <Guest72710> iceroot: they are Intel Integrated Controller and ATI Radeon HD 5000 series
[21:21] <iceroot> Guest72710: ah yes optimus and not ion
[21:22] <iceroot> Guest72710: ah ok
[21:22] <_6i> iceroot: my consequence is that i must have changed some setting, but no idea what
[21:22] <iceroot> Guest72710: have a look at a toll called "vga-switcher" i was using it with nvidia-stuff maybe its also working for your setup
[21:22] <Guest72710> thanks
[21:22] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: only security-updates you will get in ubuntu11.10
[21:22] <_6i> iceroot: -> it worked before for my regular install too, but not now
[21:23] <iceroot> _6i: my alsamixer is showing me "mic boost" when i press f4
[21:23] <iceroot> _6i: so if you dont see that option, sorry i dont now where to find it then
[21:23] <NesSe> is there any pre built packages for mysql 5.5 @ amd64 for ubuntu server? cant figure this out.
[21:24] <iceroot> !info mysql-server
[21:24] <iceroot> NesSe: only as a ppa
[21:24] <AdhamSabry> iceroot, I want to add the feature in ubuntu 11.10 default gnome that is about the banshee player controls to be in the sound tray icon
[21:24] <AdhamSabry> to gnome3, is it possible?
[21:24] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: i have never seen gnome3, never used it so i dont know
[21:25] <Barbarian> Right guys, I've helped a fair few people here, time to repay the favour :P Anyone got any idea what would cause ubuntu 11.10 64bit to recieve on input the output of the laptop instead of the microphone?
[21:25] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: but normally that should be indipentend from gnome
[21:25] <raptor67682> test
[21:25] <AdhamSabry> well, thank you very much iceroot, I really appreciated, you helped me a lot, and sorry...
[21:25] <NesSe> iceroot: ok where would i be able to find those ?
[21:25] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: sorry for what?
[21:26] <iceroot> NesSe: first of all, why you need unstable software on a server
[21:26] <_6i> iceroot: where do you have that mic-boost button?
[21:26] <Barbarian> !sound
[21:26] <tiox> iceroot: Abandon hope. 12.04 will see the end of Mono, thus, the end of Banshee.
[21:26] <AdhamSabry> for keep saying that I have gnome 3.0 and not gnome 3.2, without knowing the different between gnome and gnome-shell (Didn't think of that, because in their site only gnome)
[21:26] <iceroot> _6i: in alsamixer press f4
[21:26] <iceroot> tiox: yes that will be great :)
[21:26] <tiox> Ahhh, I think so too.
[21:27] <iceroot> tiox: software has to be free so its a very good idea to remove mono
[21:27] <tiox> I really wish Banshee was coded in C as it's a damn awesome player.
[21:27] <NesSe> iceroot: well its kida of a home server that is not so important and im going to hava xbmc sync its library on the database witch runs so slow on earlyer versions of mysql
[21:27] <tiox> Maybe someone else will do the recode and offer it undr a different name.
[21:27] <iceroot> NesSe: but running fine with 5.5?
[21:27] <AdhamSabry> well, sorry again iceroot and thanks one more time :-)
[21:28] <iceroot> AdhamSabry: you are welcome
[21:28] <AdhamSabry> I'll try to get involved in gnome code and see if I can manage to do something new...
[21:28] <localg0d> i know i'm about to ask another dumb question ... but ....
[21:28] <_6i> iceroot: yeah, F4 switches to capture (i've been there), but then i have the input choices listed (mic amongst them), but i don't see mic-boost anywhere (and what do you mean by button anyway -- alsamixer has a curses interface for me..)
[21:28] <NesSe> iceroot: from what i have heard its supposed to run better
[21:29] <localg0d> if i'm using alsa is that the audio i'm using ? or can pules audio be installed along side alsa sound ? without slowing down on crashing my computer ?
[21:29] <tiox> I'm still waiting on an answer to My question prior; Changing the displaied name on the upper-right in the top panel to display the user name instead of the  full/real name

[21:29] <WalkFar> Hey mates: Im attempting to root a phone using SuperOneClick, on ubuntu obviously, while trying to make it so the computer can read the device properly, the page I'm on is telling me to type "ATTR{idVendor}=="0BB4" " , however the terminal reads that the command was not found, if you could answer in PM please do!
[21:29] <iceroot> !addppa | NesSe
[21:30] <iceroot> WalkFar: if i am correct that goes into /etc/udev/rules.d/foobar
[21:30] <iceroot> WalkFar: that was the case for my android
[21:30] <WalkFar> iceroot: I was told to put it under /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
[21:30] <iceroot> WalkFar: yes
[21:31] <iceroot> WalkFar: that what i am saying
[21:31] <_6i> iceroot: yeah, F4 switches to capture (i've been there), but then i have the input choices listed (mic amongst them), but i don't see mic-boost anywhere (and what do you mean by button anyway -- alsamixer has a curses interface for me..)
[21:31] <WalkFar> iceroot: For me the terminal is telling me that the command is not found though
[21:31] <iceroot> _6i: "button" :)
[21:31] <iceroot> WalkFar: what command?
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> WalkFar: you probably need to add that to a config file, it's not a command
[21:32] <iceroot> WalkFar: create the file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules and put ATTR{idVendor}=="0BB4 in that file
[21:32] <SilverFox> for a windows user that is ready to do something new (because current windows install is bogging down), is wubi a poor choice?  I'm not personally familiar with wubi.
[21:32] <Barbarian> Anyone got any idea what would cause ubuntu 11.10 64bit to recieve on input the sounds the computer is making instead of the microphone?
[21:32] <fully_human> I am determined to figure this out.  When I wake my computer up from being supended/hibernated, it immediately goes back to sleep.  Anyone know why?
[21:32] <iceroot> WalkFar: gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
[21:32] <bugweed> hi, can anyone share how to autorun a program in a specific De only? thanx
[21:32] <fully_human> bugweed: De?
[21:32] <Barbarian> SilverFox, Not a bad choice, but a linux partition installed seperately would be better. Wubi is the easy choice though
[21:32] <iceroot> SilverFox: yes, if you want to use ubuntu use dual-boot or a vm
[21:33] <bugweed> fully_human: Desktop environment
[21:33] <sskalnik> If I'm using pbuilder, how can I get multiple terminals in the same chroot?
[21:33] <guntbert> SilverFox: better use a live CD for trying
[21:33] <SilverFox> My fear is wubi will be slow.  It is running w/in Windows, ya?
[21:33] <sskalnik> iceroot, a vm will be slow if windows is already slow
[21:33] <comando> buenas tardes
[21:33] <SilverFox> k, I'll start w/Live CD and if it looks good to him, I'll help resize part and dual boot it.
[21:33] <iceroot> sskalnik: but you dont have to "fight" with extra partitons
[21:34] <iceroot> SilverFox: sounds good
[21:34] <sskalnik> SilverFox, if you can make a live USB, it will be much faster than a CD, plus you can save stuff to it.
[21:34] <Barbarian> SilverFox, I'd recommend EaseUs partition manager to resize, nice and easy windows program
[21:34] <fully_human> bugweed: In KDE, you need to go to System Settings and then go to "Startup and Shutdown" and then "Session Management."
[21:34] <Barbarian> SilverFox, And unetbootin for the live USB
[21:34] <SilverFox> Barbarian: not Qpart?
[21:34] <Barbarian> SilverFox, Not tried it, if you're comfortable with it, then sure :P
[21:35] <fully_human> bugweed: In gnome, I think it's a section in gnome-control center.  Since Ubuntu went Unity, though, I'm not exactly sure. :/
[21:35] <Corey> !openvz
[21:35] <Barbarian> SilverFox, But unetbootin for a USB live is just amazingly good.
[21:35] <fully_human> Anyone know why Ubuntu is suspending again after I wake it up?  If no one knows, how do I look at the source code to figure out what's wrong?
[21:35] <bugweed> fully_human: i am having both gnome3 and unity. i am currently running AWN. so i dont want it to run on GNome3
[21:35] <st3n0> kubuntu installed,firefox tab-groups don't work - what to do?
[21:35] <tiox> It's Unity I'm trying to do this in. Is there any known way to change the displayed name in Unity? I'd really like to in order to reclaim a bunch of space in the top panel.
[21:36] <SilverFox> Barbarian: can you turn around and use it to install, like on a livecd?
[21:36] <pawel__> 6e5yhrgbfbbvb\
[21:36] <fully_human> bugweed: Hm...sorry, Can't help you there. :/
[21:36] <Barbarian> SilverFox, Of course
[21:36] <bugweed> bump anyone
[21:36] <tiox> Like for instance, if Joe Blow used jb as his username, I want it to display jb instead of JoeBlow
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> fully_human: wat make and model system?
[21:36] <SilverFox> k, I'll go that route.
[21:36] <SilverFox> livecd can be sluggish
[21:37] <fully_human> ActionParsnip: I have a Satellite L305D-S5934.
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> bugweed: AWN will need gnome to run, its the DE which Unity runs on too
[21:37] <fully_human> ActionParsnip: I did install tosh-utils.
[21:37] <Barbarian> SilverFox, http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[21:37] <bugweed> ActionParsnip: is there a way to kill it when it is running on gnome3
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> bugweed: kill what?
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> fully_human: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1020119.html
[21:38] <Guest72710> iceroot: when i try "echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch" i get "bash: ... permission denied"
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> fully_human: be sure you have the latest BIOS too, may help. Looks like you are not alone
[21:38] <Guest72710> even when i precede with "sudo", why would that happen?
[21:38] <tiox> Note about AWN on Gnome 3: You need the Gnome 2 libs to make full use of it (Indicators and stuff)
[21:38] <bugweed> ActionParsnip: AWN on GNome3. i only want it to autostart on Unity
[21:39] <tiox> Otherwise, if it's AWN and Unity, just have AWN autostart. SHould run as a separate app.
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> bugweed: unity needs Gnome3 to exist. Unity is only a shell which runs on any DE you want
[21:39] <Barbarian> Anyone got any idea what would cause ubuntu 11.10 64bit to recieve on input the sounds the computer is making instead of the microphone?
[21:39] <fully_human> ActionParsnip: Yeah, and just recently my computer randomly shuts down dispite the fact that it's cool.  Thanks. :)
[21:39] <_6i> iceroot: i've writte to you in priv
[21:39] <_6i> *written
[21:40] <sskalnik> Anyone know how to spawn more terminal sessions inside of a chroot?
[21:40] <jen> hep!
[21:40] <fully_human> sskalnik: Have you tried using screen?
[21:40] <sskalnik> I'm using a pbuilder chroot and having to hop between a man page and the CLI is getting old
[21:40] <sskalnik> Nope.
[21:40] <sskalnik> I shall give that a go, then, fully_human
[21:40] <iceroot> Guest72710: you need sudo with tee to do something like that
[21:40] <fully_human> sskalnik: on Ubunut it's called byobu. :)
[21:41] <sskalnik> byobu?
[21:41] <st3n0> firefox in kubuntu installed, tab-groups don't work - what to do?
[21:41] <Guest72710> sudo with tee?? i shall google that at once
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> fully_human: if you suspend from CLI, is it ok?
[21:41] <jen> so my virtualbox gave me a message about how it cant find one of its files to start
[21:41] <fully_human> ActionParsnip: CLI?
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> fully_human: command line
[21:42] <fully_human> Oh, I don't know haven't tried that.
[21:42] <iceroot> Guest72710: echo "ON" | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
[21:42] <fully_human> ^ActionParsnip
[21:42] <iceroot> Guest72710: normally you are ust using sudo to act as root
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> jen: is it when you try to install or is it in an installed virtual OS?
[21:42] <iceroot> Guest72710: but echo is not working with sudo
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> fully_human: worth exploring
[21:43] <jen> I think its from the update
[21:43] <jen> ActionParsnip, I think its from the update, I just installed some updates and I forgot how to fix it
[21:43] <fully_human> ActionParsnip: Thanks.  There's a solution online about using wicd as the net manager...I had a feeling it was a net manager problem
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> jen: so the OS is installed and has started showing issues?
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> fully_human: wicd is awesome :)
[21:43] <jen> ActionParsnip,  yes maybe I shall try something
[21:44] <sskalnik> fully_human, yes this shall do nicely. Vielen Dank
[21:44] <WalkFar> iceroot: PMed you
[21:44] <jen> grr I cant get it T_T
[21:45] <SilverFox> wow... unetbootin is slick.
[21:45] <fully_human> What's the default network manager that I need to kill?

[21:49] <_6i> SilverFox: multisystem from http://liveusb.info is also not bad -- enables you to have a multiboot setup on a usb stick and uses multiple boot managers on the stick with online switching possibility
[21:50] <raptor67682> ActionParsnip: works but I get some text from aplay in the channel
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> raptor67682: what text do you want?
[21:50] <ubsky> can someone help me with UEFI and figuring out what files to put from the ubuntu cdrom in the efi boot folder, so far I have got refit to load the bootx64.efi to the grub prompt but it does not know where to boot to
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> raptor67682: so irssi makes a noise when you get highlighted...?

[21:51] <raptor67682> it seems to work better
[21:51] <raptor67682> test
[21:52] <_6i> SilverFox: you can also test your new setup in a virtual machine
[21:52] <raptor67682> ActionParsnip: yes, the idea is indeed this one
[21:52] <raptor67682> ActionParsnip: but I would be happier to run a script that beep only for given channels. a bit like xchat
[21:53] <Nostoc> I have a dual boot ubuntu/windows system.  The windows system was recently infected with a rootkit in the MBR.  In order to remove the rootkit, I need to restore the mbr.  Is there a way to do this without damaging by ubuntu system?
[21:53] <joansirley> some human like being overt there
[21:54] <Nostoc> I would just like to reinstall the windows partition
[21:54] <LLStarks> v
[21:55] <Nostoc> is there a channel to go to for help with ubuntu?
[21:55] <Odaym``> you're in it, Nostoc
[21:55] <joansirley> yes nostoc
[21:55] <Odaym``> are you stupid or something?
[21:55] <joansirley> it seams that yes
[21:55] <_6i> Nostoc: after reinstalling windows, you have to reinstall ubuntus boot manager (e.g. from a live cd or usb), because windows' boot manager does not recognise non-windows systems
[21:56] <joansirley> yes
[21:56] <Nostoc> so I will need to do a fresh install of both the ubuntu and windows systems?
[21:56] <joansirley> 6i
[21:56] <Nostoc> also, do you know how to change the default boot order in GRUB?
[21:56] <joansirley> you can use several methods to rebuild grub
[21:56] <Odaym``> don't install windows at all :)
[21:56] <lyrae> When i try to open an image(png, jpg,etc) imageviewer tries to open it, and doesnt. basically nothing happens
[21:56] <lyrae> how can i fix it?
[21:56] <joansirley> like the ones suggested at guia-ubuntu.org
[21:56] <Nostoc> I need windows for my engineering applications (esp solidworks)
[21:56] <joansirley> in spanish
[21:56] <joansirley> nostoc
[21:57] <joansirley> why don't you install a virtual machine?
[21:57] <Odaym``> definitely, it's very fast there too
[21:57] <ubsky> looking for help with setting up an EFI partition and ubuntu
[21:57] <Odaym``> and you can edit the grub boot order MENU from grub.conf
[21:57] <_6i> Nostoc: ubuntu uses grub boot manager by default -- you have to reinstall only that
[21:57] <joansirley> yes

[22:03] <joansirley> tomorrow I send you my email
[22:03] <_6i> Nostoc: boot order: do you want to reorder your entries, or is it enough to set the default selection to not the first?

[22:12] <soreau> molgrum: Looks like you installed the proprietary driver and it isn't working. What is the output of 'lspci|grep VGA'?
[22:13] <molgrum> soreau, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Juniper [Radeon HD 5700 Series]
[22:13] <soreau> molgrum: Try removing fglrx and use the default open radeon driver

[22:14] <bytesaber_work> just downloaded firefox 8 from their website.   extracted the .bz2.    now what?

[22:15] <ngirard> Hi all. I'm using ubuntu and the Gnome desktop, not KDE. My locales are in french. I need to use "parley" (a KDE application). After apt-get install parley, parley starts correctly but its interface is in english. How can I switch it to french ?

[22:15] <bekks> bytesaber_work: No. The way you are going to the moment is much more complicated.
[22:16] <bekks> *at the moment...
[22:16] <bytesaber_work> >: \
[22:16] <bytesaber_work> what is this for then?
[22:17] <bekks> bytesaber_work: It is for the one who want to install it manually while knowing what/how to do it.
[22:17] <urlin2u> bytesaber_work, for the ppa     sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
[22:17] <urlin2u>     sudo apt-get update
[22:17] <urlin2u>     sudo apt-get install firefox language-pack-en language-pack-en-base
[22:17] <Barbarian> lol urlin2u, beat me to it by about 5 seconds
[22:19] <bytesaber_work> i can add the ppa *shrug*.   was just gonna leave "the system" alone and run ff8 in it's own dir and leave ff3 alone.
[22:20] <oupateddie> why would 10.10 already have the Firefox 8 available for Ubuntu and 11.04 not?
[22:20] <MonkeyDust> there's this link http://www.muktware.com/articles/2949
[22:25] <molgrum> soreau, that worked wonderfully
[22:28] <galerien> Hi, just wondering if the "dd" command is supposed to work on umounted devices
[22:28] <galerien> ?
[22:29] <deej1976> galerien: yes: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
[22:29] <genii-around> galerien: It can work on both. But if your device is a disk for instance in which the data is being altered as you are trying to dd off it, then it can result in strange data
[22:29] <deej1976> !info dd
[22:30] <galerien> it results in : "dd: opening `/dev/sdb': No medium found
[22:30] <galerien> "
[22:31] <deej1976> galerien: cat /proc/partitions, is sdb there?
[22:32] <galerien> deej1976, no, but "ls sd*" gives me sda1-7 and sdb
[22:33] <deej1976> galerien: What does Disk Utility report?
[22:34] <jrwr|offline> I want to use a compression proxy (Ziproxy) and I want it to also compress SSL'd Content as well, I use it over a ssh tunnel so SSL being in the clear is not a issue for me

[22:35] <deej1976> !crosspost | jrwr|offline:

[22:36] <galerien> deej1976, thanks for your help and good night/day depending ;)
[22:37] <deej1976> jrwr|offline: My bad, sorry
[22:37] <jrwr|offline> deej1976, its ok :)
[22:37] <deej1976> galerien: No problem
[22:38] <CharminTheMoose> Hey all, I want to be able to call the reboot/shutdown programs as a normal user on a single user system via bash. How can I go about doing this?
[22:39] <ppcblaster> Trying to get my old hauppauge pvr 350 going in Unubtu 11.10 I found http://www.upubuntu.com/2011/10/tv-viewer-watch-and-record-tv-stations.html
[22:40] <jrwr|offline> CharminTheMoose, I think its calle setuid
[22:40] <ppcblaster> I then discovered the Tcl/Tk is no good and need to get a newer version
[22:40] <ppcblaster> where do I look?
[22:41] <jrwr|offline> CharminTheMoose, where you can set a permission on the filesystem to have that program always run as a UID, EG: Root
[22:41] <CharminTheMoose> Ahh yes, I forgot about setuid!
[22:42]  * CharminTheMoose gets RTFMing
[22:43] <Bert_2> Hi, how can I find out who who worked on the updated version of a certain ubuntu package ?

[22:48] <gateway_> there's no grub on my ubuntu 11.10 installation, how can I get it?
[22:49] <bekks> gateway_: There is grub2 instead.
[22:49] <gateway_> bekks: how do I know that?
[22:50] <bekks> Because Ubuntu 11.10 includes grub2.
[22:50] <gateway_> excuse me, i'm pretty new on it. I just installed ubuntu with default config
[22:51] <gateway_> bekks: if ubuntu 11.10 includes it by default, then I have grub2
[22:51] <bekks> gateway_: Yes :)
[22:52] <gateway_> bekks: i sucessfully installed ubuntu with nomodeset configuration
[22:52] <gateway_> but when i restart i cant see anything but a blackscreen
[22:53] <lucas-arg> I need to install a kw-ub405-a analog tv decoder in ubuntu, but i dont knwo where to start... i cant find drivers for it, the manufacturer doesnt have any drivers either, any ideas where to get help??
[22:53] <gateway_> i tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 for installation

[22:55] <steelbox> is there anyone expert in OpenMP please?
[22:55] <deej1976> !ask | steelbox:
[22:55] <gateway_> i tried the shift key but it doesnt show the grub menu
[22:56] <genii-around> gateway_: Try the ESC key then
[22:58] <gateway_> genni-around: esc key same result as shift key: blackscreen, no grub :(
[22:58] <lucas-arg> please i need help with an usb stick tv decoder.. kw-ub405-a cant find drivers for ubuntu
[22:59] <steelbox> I got the following openmp sample code http://paste.ubuntu.com/740680/ and I got no speedup when output->st=1. I suppose that gcc or openmp remove the for loop since the outer loop only have a single iteration.
[23:00] <deej1976> steelbox: have you tried asking this in #openmp ?
[23:01] <steelbox> deej1976: it's empty :)
[23:02] <dirtycookie> hello people, i backed up a drive via dd to a file and wanted to mount it with this command: mount /4gb_backup /mount -o loop and i get this error message "mount: /dev/loop0: can't read superblock". what am i doing wrong?
[23:02] <steelbox> So is there a simple way to ask to gcc/openmp to correctly parallelize this code even when the outer loop only have a single iteration?
[23:04] <Mydalon_> Hi, I try to mount a nfs share in fstab, but at boottime the system hangs very long (and is not pingable during that time) obviously trying to mount the share w/o networking up. Then it says mounting fails and if I skip the mounting, network gets up very soon after. This does not only affect nfs, but also aiccu.
[23:04] <Mydalon_> Has anyone a pointer of what I may have done wrong?
[23:05] <shabble> what's the (best|easiest) way to get both a binary and corresponding kernel sources? (Attempting to build a custom patched module without rebuilding an entire kernel/all modules)
[23:06] <shabble> linux-source-3.0.0 is actually 3.0.4 if I'm reading this (src/Makefile) right
[23:07] <Mydalon_> BTW: I am on 11.10
[23:07] <Mydalon_> 64bit
[23:07] <fbh> Hi.  Can anyone tell me exactly what the "dns-clean" startup item does?   (server 10.04 LTS)
[23:07] <shabble> Mydalon_: there's a 'noauto' option you can stick in fstab somewhere, iirc.
[23:08] <fbh> As far as I can read it's only needed if I have a modem connection. I'm just wondering why this is enabled by default on a new installation of a server OS
[23:09] <Mydalon_> shabble, I will have a look in that option, one moment please
[23:09] <haseebh2O> YAY
[23:12] <Mydalon_> thx, I'll try that

[23:30] <GUNDAM> thank you.
[23:31] <tonk> wen i boot ubuntu i get some bios error befor ubuntu is starting to boot buth the message is to fast. wer to find boot loog?
[23:33] <bekks> tonk: The boot log (if existing) does not contain BIOS messages.
[23:34] <Lehthanis> What's the kernel line look like in the grub boot option editor?
[23:35] <Lehthanis> I'm on a cell phone because I have no internet here. PC is offline.
[23:35] <deej1976> tonk: If you can get in the bios, change boot order and remove hard disk, this will possible stop your laptop booting for you to read the error message
[23:35] <surfdue> anyone fimiliar with bash? ((: 1 -le 9: syntax error in expression (error token is "9")
[23:35] <bekks> Pressing pause should do the same.
[23:35] <Lehthanis> Is the kernel line the one that starts with linux?
[23:35] <surfdue> line 86: if (($REPLY -le $total)) && (($REPLY -ge 1)); then
[23:36] <tonk> deej1976: i got that 2 lines only wen bootin ubuntu
[23:36] <tonk> lines of error*
[23:39] <Lehthanis> What line do I add text to in grub to boot to command line?
[23:40] <Lehthanis> Kernel doesn't appear in the text
[23:40] <deej1976> Lehthanis: Does the rescue mode work?
[23:40]  * deej1976 going to bed now
[23:41] <Lehthanis> There's a line : linux /boot/vmlinuz....
[23:41] <Lehthanis> Is that it?
[23:41] <trism> Lehthanis: yes
[23:42] <Lehthanis> Ok, trying recovery first.
[23:43] <Lehthanis> Ok... Got to prompt. Where would i find xorg. Conf?
[23:44] <RedAmry> Is there a way to deactivate the 'apps available for download' adware in Unity?
[23:45] <Lehthanis> Oooh, found it. Is there a command line text editor?
[23:46] <dragomir> can someone please help me? ubuntu 10.04 I would like docky to be pushed up above the bottom panel and not be behind it, or over it.
[23:48] <muesli> how can i start a terminal?
[23:48] <scottj> when applying a patch, the failing hunk is safed in a .rej file, but is there an easy way to see why it failed?
[23:49] <girant> muesli: Ctrl + alt + t ?
[23:49] <muesli> lol, how very obvious :) girant: thanks
[23:49] <scratchingmyhead> Is there a program I can use to open a .pps file?  libre cant open it
[23:50] <girant> muesli: Np
[23:50] <muesli> one more question: i added a ppa in the software center, how can i get it to update the sources?
[23:50] <muesli> (e.g. apt-get update without going via the terminal)
[23:51] <xangua> dragomir: normally people discards panels when they use a dock, you can also pur dock on the sides
[23:51] <xangua> muesli: with the update manager
[23:51] <Bartzy> Hi
[23:51] <dragomir> thanks xangua
[23:51] <blake> Hi, I'm having a problem being unable to change my brightness on a NVIDIA graphics card with 11.10 and the NVIDIA drivers, is there any solution to this?
[23:52] <muesli> xangua: is that "updates available" in the upper-right menu?
[23:52] <muesli> xangua: ah yeah, it's called update manager
[23:52] <muesli> would probably be clever(er) to update sources when adding a ppa
[23:52] <Bartzy> I'm using NetworkManager to connect to my VPN. my VPN is pushing a DNS server (<IP_ADDRESS>) for the example. my local DNS from my DHCP server is <IP_ADDRESS>  for example. For some reason, NetworkManager puts the VPN DNS server (<IP_ADDRESS>) before the local DNS server (<IP_ADDRESS>) in /etc/resolv.conf, which causes problems. Any idea ?
[23:54] <marsfligth> How to force 'passwd' to use a short password?
[23:55] <scratchingmyhead> Is there a program I can use to open a .pps file?  libre cant open it
[23:58] <girant> scratchingmyhead: Open Office is an Office Suite and it has a program that is the alternative of Power Point. You don't use the word processor for this. I believe if you double click the file it will open it up for you. The Linux I am on right now doesn't have the software installed yet.
[23:58] <bigtv> yo
