| johnny77 | I'm having trouble with flash plugin. Which should I install? | 00:52 |
| brandin | me too, always. | 00:52 |
| brandin | if you figure it out, and have flash running for days with zero problems, let me know. | 00:53 |
| aveilleux | I do | 01:00 |
| aveilleux | (using Opera) | 01:00 |
| aveilleux | I have the flashplugin-nonfree package installed | 01:01 |
| ddecator | johnny77: 32 or 64 bit? | 01:01 |
| johnny77 | ddecator: 32 | 01:03 |
| ddecator | johnny77: then the flashplugin-nonfree package should be your best bet | 01:03 |
| johnny77 | ddecator: ok. I was thinking that someone told me the flashplugin-installer was the right one, but it wasn't working. | 01:04 |
| ddecator | flashplugin-nonfree uses flashplugin-installer to install flash, but the package you want to check for installation is flashplugin-nonfree | 01:05 |
| johnny77 | ddecator: ok, thank you. | 01:06 |
| johnny77 | If I added a beta ppa for chromium browser how do I know it will install that one over the one in the repositories? | 01:07 |
| ddecator | brandin: if you're using 32-bit, then the same applies for you. if you're using 64-bit, then i've had no issues with the flash square http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html | 01:07 |

| Unguided | Hello All! Whats the channels opinion on webmin for ubuntu server administration? | 02:54 |
| jjay2435 | since a few days, I've got some problems with my Ubuntu 10.04 updates. I can't reach http://ppa.launchpad.net/http/ppa/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz anybody knows how to fix that? | 03:20 |
| ddecator | what's that ppa for? | 03:23 |
| jjay2435 | i don't know | 03:23 |
| jjay2435 | I'm on a laptop where a few months ago I was on a dual boot with Windows 7 and then I dropped Windows only by deleting the partition where Win7 was | 03:25 |
| ddecator | well it's definitely not found on the server. try going to System > Administration > Software Sources, then click the tab for Other Sources and see what is listed in there | 03:25 |
| jjay2435 | I went there and it isn't on that list | 03:25 |
| ddecator | it just suddenly started happening? | 03:26 |
| jjay2435 | it started happening last week | 03:26 |
| ddecator | you could try checking the sources.list file, but i can't remember offhand where that file is located | 03:26 |
| jjay2435 | I searched on the forums, I did change the sources.list file today and it didn't change anything | 03:27 |
| jjay2435 | does an upgrade towards the 10.10 versions could help? I'm on the 10.04 lts | 03:28 |
| ddecator | possibly, but there's not guarantee. is it just giving you a warning when you run "sudo apt-get update"? | 03:29 |
| ddecator | no* | 03:29 |
| jjay2435 | there and when I do System > Administration > Synaptics Packages Administrator | 03:31 |
| * ddecator is baffeled that it's looking for a ppa when it's not listed in sources.list | 03:32 | |
| jjay2435 | but if I add it, could it stop to warn me that my system isn't up to date? | 03:33 |
| ddecator | that ppa doesn't seem to exist, so adding it would just give you the same results you have now | 03:35 |
| jjay2435 | ok | 03:36 |
| ddecator | i'm not sure why your system is trying to look for it in the first place.. | 03:36 |
| jjay2435 | is there something I can do to fix that, 'cuz it's frustrating not being able to update my laptop | 03:39 |
| ddecator | it won't let you update because of that? | 03:40 |
| jjay2435 | nope, 'cuz it downloads up to (about) 75 files, but I can't install them because I got that error | 03:41 |
| ddecator | so it's not only checking that for updates, but when you install updates it actually tries to pull updates from there as well? | 03:43 |
| jjay2435 | yup | 03:43 |
| ddecator | that's even more confusing to me | 03:44 |
| jjay2435 | I'll try to upgrade to 10.10 version, I'll come back later | 03:48 |
| Unguided | Hell All! Has anyone used webmin to admin ubuntu server? IF so, what is your opinion? | 05:16 |

| halpbatman | hey guys | 06:28 |
| halpbatman | so I'm trying to make a bootable ubuntu on usb so I can have it on the go | 06:28 |
| halpbatman | I'm reading about full direct install to usb drive | 06:29 |
| halpbatman | what are its advantages/disadvantages over live booting on usb? | 06:29 |
| halpbatman | or persistent booting from usb | 06:29 |
| halpbatman | anyone? | 06:40 |
| nlsthzn | halpbatman: not sure... as long as you have persistancy you can still save any changes etc... I normally just make a live bootable USB with persistancy | 06:45 |
| halpbatman | nlsthzn: my problem is that it won't let you secure it since its live | 06:46 |
| halpbatman | nlsthzn: i was hoping direct install would treat the usb as a hard drive rather than live-boot so that it will be more secure | 06:47 |
| nlsthzn | halpbatman: "secure it" ? | 06:47 |
| halpbatman | nlsthzn: live boot is by default root | 06:47 |
| halpbatman | nlsthzn: so if someone gets my usb drive all my data is accessible. | 06:48 |
| nlsthzn | halpbatman: true... haven't thought about that ... | 06:48 |
| halpbatman | nlsthzn: i was wondering if i install it directly to usb i'd be able to password protect it | 06:48 |
| nlsthzn | halpbatman: outside what I have done so I am sorry, hopefully someone else here can assist | 06:49 |
| halpbatman | nlsthzn: yeah thx for the help though | 06:50 |
| halpbatman | nlsthzn: i just found an article kinda explaining things.. but it won't say pro/cons | 06:50 |
| nlsthzn | halpbatman: well you know the major con of the live disc :) | 06:51 |
| halpbatman | nlsthzn: i feel like direct install would be too hard on the usb due to read/write... but i don't know to what degree | 06:51 |
| nlsthzn | halpbatman: well... it is free right, so why not try... | 06:52 |
| nit-wit | halpbatman, the read write on a thumb is old myth basically. | 06:55 |
| halpbatman | can you access ext4 from windows or os x? | 07:31 |
| halpbatman | no right? | 07:31 |
| bioterror | no | 07:34 |
| bioterror | ext3 is possible | 07:34 |
| bioterror | http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ext2.html | 07:34 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: thx | 07:53 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: so i'm installing ubuntu on my 8gb usb | 07:53 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: 3 partitions 1:ext4 for ubuntu 2:wap 3:ext3 for files | 07:53 |
| bioterror | you should have used ext2 | 07:54 |
| bioterror | if you used USB stick | 07:54 |
| bioterror | less writing on the USB | 07:54 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: oh | 07:54 |
| bioterror | you can turn off the journaling from ext3 and 4 too | 07:54 |
| bioterror | I think :D | 07:54 |
| bioterror | but I'm off | 07:54 |

| tdn | Can I select one folder to be encrypted with ecryptfs instead of my entire home folder? Is this possible via Right click > Properties or similar? | 09:09 |
| MrChrisDruif | tdn: Before Ubuntu 9.04 (if I remember correct) it was normal that only certain folders were/could be encrypted. The means to achieve this I don't know | 09:17 |
| tdn | How do I find out? | 09:22 |

| bioterror | obengdako, sorry, I cannot help. can you post your problem to ubuntuforums and beginners talk | 09:36 |
| obengdako | bioterror, thanks man | 09:38 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: hey so i took your advice and installed it using ext2 on usb | 09:47 |
| geirha | I believe it used to zip the folder, then encrypt it with pgp. If you don't have a pgp-key, the option may not appaer. | 09:47 |
| bioterror | halpbatman, good | 09:48 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: but when i boot.. i get an error saying gave up waiting for root | 09:48 |
| bioterror | really | 09:48 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: it says dev/sdf2 doesnt' exist | 09:48 |
| bioterror | halpbatman, use UUID for the grub ;) | 09:48 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: /dev/sdf2 is the usb | 09:48 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: UUID? | 09:48 |
| bioterror | !uuid | 09:49 |
| ubot2 | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 09:49 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: so go to grub commandline and type that in? | 09:49 |
| bioterror | if your grub uses /dev/sdf2 for the kernel, then it should be replaced wit UUID | 09:50 |
| bioterror | my pendrives are downstairs, and I'm about to make food, so I'm not going to get them ;) | 09:50 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: gotcha I'll give that a try thx | 09:51 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: i think i fixed it | 10:14 |
| halpbatman | when i ran blkid | 10:14 |
| halpbatman | it registers my usb as /dev/sdb2 not /dev/sdf2 | 10:15 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: i mean not fix.. know what's wrong. | 10:17 |
| tdn | MrChrisDruif, thanks. | 10:33 |
| MrChrisDruif | Your welcome tdn :) | 10:33 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: got it working! thx! | 10:35 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: does this mean i have to press e and edit the grub every time i boot? or is there a permanent solution | 10:35 |
| bioterror | what? | 10:38 |
| bioterror | linux/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-28-generic root=UUID=ab2ccc13-c26e-40d5-adf | 10:39 |
| bioterror | a-70aed3e8a78f ro single | 10:39 |
| bioterror | you might have root=/dev/sdb2? | 10:39 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: got it it's working now | 10:58 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: thx :D | 10:58 |
| bioterror | with UUID? | 10:58 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: yeah | 10:58 |
| bioterror | now you can use it every where | 10:58 |
| bioterror | doesnt matter how many hdd's that compuer has attached | 10:58 |
| bioterror | it will always read the UUID | 10:58 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: sweet | 10:59 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: one question | 10:59 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: so the boot loader wasn't able to locate my root folder correctly because it was pointing at the wrong drive or a drive that doesn't exist (i.e. /dev/sdb1) | 11:00 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: so we fixed that issue by using UUID instead | 11:00 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: does that mean I have to fix the location of swap space using UUID as well? | 11:00 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 11:00 |
| bioterror | yes, in the /etc/fstab | 11:01 |
| bioterror | UUID=f20180a3-4b35-47dd-8e38-ef14e3d2dad1 none swap sw 0 0 | 11:01 |
| bioterror | something like that | 11:01 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: okay thx.. | 11:02 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: yeah i figured since it got one partition wrong it'd get the other one wrong too | 11:02 |
| tdn | MrChrisDruif, I saw your guide to encrypted folder. However, this uses truecrypt and not ecryptfs. | 12:23 |
| tdn | MrChrisDruif, also, truecrypt is not even included in ubuntu. Not available from standard repositories. | 12:24 |

| MrChrisDruif | johnny77: Yeah... | 13:32 |
| MrChrisDruif | Should be....but not a ppa:someppa/ppa | 13:32 |

| johnny77 | MrChrisDruif: that is what I thought, but I added a chromium beta build that I want to comment out, but don't see anything that I would think is it. | 13:33 |
| MrChrisDruif | Which ppa did you try to add? | 13:34 |
| johnny77 | ppa:chromium-daily/beta | 13:34 |
| johnny77 | the file is /etc/apt/sources.list <- is that the correct file? | 13:35 |
| johnny77 | MrChrisDruif: ^^ | 13:37 |
| MrChrisDruif | If you go to Update Manager, you should be able to find the ppa's | 13:38 |
| johnny77 | MrChrisDruif: oops, I should of mentioned that this is my minimal instalation no update mnanger :) | 13:43 |
| MrChrisDruif | :P | 13:43 |
| MrChrisDruif | That sources.list only shows default sources apparently | 13:45 |
| johnny77 | MrChrisDruif: I found it. | 13:48 |
| MrChrisDruif | You too? Where was it? | 13:48 |
| MrChrisDruif | (Other channel also found his problem/file) | 13:48 |
| johnny77 | there is a folder /etc/apt/sources.list.d in it is the added lists. | 13:49 |
| MrChrisDruif | Alright...with what program can you open it? | 13:50 |
| tdn | MrChrisDruif, I think that guide is quite dated. Also, I do not see how it describes encrypting a single folder. | 13:50 |
| johnny77 | MrChrisDruif: in that folder there are lists just like sources.list. You can open them with nano, gedit or any text editor you want. | 13:51 |
| MrChrisDruif | johnny77: I tried one of those files and couldn't open with gedit, hence my question... | 13:52 |
| MrChrisDruif | tdn: I don't know.....maybe someone else might know....most of the time in the evening (around 18:00UTC) it gets more active....maybe try again then? | 13:53 |
| johnny77 | MrChrisDruif: They are openig in nano just fine. I dunno. | 13:53 |
| johnny77 | MrChrisDruif: what error is gedit giving you? | 13:54 |
| MrChrisDruif | /etc/apt/sources.list.d is a directory. | 13:55 |
| MrChrisDruif | Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again. | 13:55 |
| johnny77 | MrChrisDruif: Yes, that /etc/apt/sources.list.d is a directory. In it is individual files like the sources.list | 13:56 |
| MrChrisDruif | Alright... | 13:57 |
| tdn | MrChrisDruif, ok. Thanks. | 14:01 |

| johnny77 | hggdh: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/578485/ | 19:25 |
| hggdh | johnny77, I wonder what you have done. Even base-files is being *installed* -- which means something is completely broken on you system | 19:28 |
| aveilleux | johnny77: Try running a sudo apt-get autoremove; just clean up a little | 19:29 |
| hggdh | I wonder if there is actually anything left that allows apt-get to work... | 19:29 |
| aveilleux | johnny77: Alternately, if you have Aptitude installed, try using that instead | 19:29 |
| hggdh | well, not even dpkg is installed | 19:30 |
| aveilleux | oh crikey | 19:31 |
| hggdh | this is actually an example of a quite hosed system... | 19:31 |
| johnny77 | hggdh: could it be some file that lists what is installed and what is not got messed up? | 20:07 |
| johnny77 | aveilleux: sudo apt-get autoremove -> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/578498/ | 20:10 |
| charlie-tca | Good experience for someone trying to learn the command line | 20:13 |
| johnny77 | charlie-tca: thanks for the optimism :) | 20:17 |
| charlie-tca | johnny77: looking at the pastebins, I would say it is time to reinstall completely, including that format :-) | 20:25 |
| hggdh | yes, sounds like it. Your system currently does not even have dpkg, which makes efforts to recover quite difficult | 20:26 |
| hggdh | johnny77, how did you end up in this situation? | 20:27 |
| * charlie-tca thinks that was the easy part ;-) | 20:27 | |
| johnny77 | but it does have dpkg | 20:27 |
| johnny77 | hggdh: I have no idea how this happened. Possibly started with a failed attempt to install opera. | 20:28 |
| hggdh | johnny77, dpkg is in the list of packages to install, from your pastebin | 20:29 |
| aveilleux | johnny77: What? Did you not try to install from the Opera repos? | 20:29 |
| johnny77 | hggdh: I understand that. That is why I suggested there might be a file that dpkg looks at to see what is installed is messed up or misplaced. | 20:29 |
| hggdh | johnny77, ok. Do you have the packages you need under /var/cache/apt/archives? | 20:30 |
| johnny77 | aveilleux: I downloaded from opera's website then tried to install the deb. It was not in the ubuntu repository. | 20:31 |
| hggdh | indeed it will not be, opera is closed source | 20:31 |
| aveilleux | johnny77: Opera has a repository. | 20:32 |
| johnny77 | hggdh: there is a huge list of files in that folder | 20:32 |
| hggdh | johnny77, look at /var/cache/apt/archives for dpkg*.deb; then 'sudo dpkg -i' the latest one | 20:33 |
| johnny77 | aveilleux: how am I supposed to know that if opera's website does not tell me? | 20:33 |
| hggdh | the whole point is we have no idea how much destruction was done to your system; you can try to recover by dpkg -i all basic missing dependencies | 20:34 |
| aveilleux | johnny77: I usually Google for a program name + "repository" to see if there's an actively-maintained one | 20:35 |
| johnny77 | hggdh: are you saying to install that whole folder? | 20:38 |
| johnny77 | aveilleux: +1 a quick search showed that on opera's page there is a repository. But I still say it should say that on the main page. | 20:40 |
| aveilleux | johnny77: Unfortunately that's a side-effect of being a company; they're aiming for uniformity across their downloads pages. Though I believe the installed version has an auto-updater. | 20:42 |
| hggdh | johnny77, no, not the whole folder. Right now just dpkg -i the latest dpkg*.deb package you have there | 20:43 |
| johnny77 | hggdh: I got a pre-dependency error needs libbz2-1.0 Trying to install that now. | 20:48 |
| hggdh | johnny77, correct | 20:49 |
| === JackyAlcine is now known as Guest14941 | ||
| === wolfpaclk is now known as wolfpack | ||
| johnny77 | libbz2-1.0 needs libc6 which i already know needs findutils but can't install findutils because it needs libc6. | 20:52 |
| johnny77 | aveilleux: I think the problem stems from when I tried to install from the opera deb it did not go and fetch the dependencies which left it all screwed up. | 20:53 |
| === Guest14941 is now known as JackyAlcine | ||
| aveilleux | johnny77: Failing to fetch deps wouldn't give you this problem. | 20:53 |
| hggdh | johnny77, from the /var/cache/apt/archive: sudo dpkg -i on latest .deb for libc6 and findutils AT THE SAME TIME | 20:55 |
| johnny77 | aveilleux: then I have no idea what cause it. | 20:55 |
| hggdh | johnny77, not having the deps would not be a problem. This is different, something else you did. | 20:56 |
| johnny77 | hggdh: You mean something like sudo dpkg -i libc6 findutils ? | 20:56 |
| johnny77 | I really don't want to format/reinstall because I'll have to build up from a CLI again, but honestly if you think that might be easier than I guess that is what I'll do. | 20:57 |
| hggdh | johnny77, *full* file name for the latest debs under /var/cache/apt/archive | 20:57 |
| hggdh | johnny77, unfortunately it certainly will be easier... | 20:57 |
| johnny77 | hggdh: I just wonder what I did... :| | 20:59 |
| johnny77 | starting to format/reinstall. | 20:59 |
| aveilleux | What's the name of the program that runs when you hit Alt+F2? gnome-launch or something? | 21:36 |
| Axlin | found a site that says it's gnome-run, but i don't see it specifically in synaptic | 21:41 |
| aveilleux | Google says gnome-do | 21:41 |
| aveilleux | But that has a ton of Mono deps that I'd personally prefer to avoid | 21:42 |
| pedro3005 | gnome-do isn't standard afaik | 21:42 |
| pedro3005 | at least it used not to be | 21:42 |
| Axlin | yeah gnome-do is a lot different than the standard run dialog | 21:42 |
| aveilleux | ...oh, there's no F2 key on this keyboard anbyway | 21:43 |
| aveilleux | anyway* | 21:43 |
| Axlin | i'm not even sure gnome-do is being developed any more. it's been a long time since their last release. i think they're focused on docky now | 21:43 |
| aveilleux | Oh, gnome-launch-box looks pretty | 21:44 |
| aveilleux | and it has no deps | 21:44 |
| Axlin | i haven't tried that one yet. i use kupfer right now myself. synapse is nice too, but it's a young project | 21:45 |
| aveilleux | (that aren't already installed with GNOME) | 21:45 |
| johnny77 | aveilleux: if you care, I got it reinstalled and it's up and running. Just need to reinstall everything :) | 21:49 |
| johnny77 | aveilleux: if you care, I got it reinstalled and it's up and running. Just need to reinstall everything :) | 22:02 |
| aveilleux | johnny77: Aw, sorry to hear that. At least it got resolved. | 22:03 |
| johnny77 | aveilleux: no problem. | 22:04 |
| aveilleux | Is there a way to disable an audio device? I have a USB speaker attached to my machine, but Ubuntu likes defaulting to the analog audio out (which has nothing attached) | 22:50 |
| holstein | aveilleux: i usually go to the bios | 22:50 |
| holstein | but you could blacklist it | 22:51 |
| MrChrisDruif | aveilleux: In the sound menu? (System > Sound) | 22:51 |
| aveilleux | holstein: herp, I totally forgot about doing that. Thanks | 22:51 |
| holstein | there are other ways in the menu though | 22:51 |
| holstein | ^^ like that | 22:51 |
| aveilleux | MrChrisDruif: It is, but there's no way to totally disable the option to use that hardsware | 22:51 |
| aveilleux | hardware* | 22:51 |
| holstein | also, the package pavucontrol has more options | 22:51 |
| MrChrisDruif | Just selecting the source you want to use should make it default, right? | 22:51 |
| aveilleux | MrChrisDruif: You'd think that, but I've had to change the output on boot every time | 22:53 |
| aveilleux | anyway brb | 22:53 |
| aveilleux | Decided to just disable it in BIOS. Thanks for the suggestions, though. | 23:00 |
| MrChrisDruif | Your welcome aveilleux :) | 23:01 |
| MrChrisDruif | Did someone come by asking about Encrypting folders? | 23:19 |
