[00:45] <Yick> hello
[04:37] <asterismo> hi people
[04:37] <asterismo> still asking for help with this bug
[04:37] <asterismo> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/874774
[04:37] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 874774 in cryptsetup "could not mount /dev/mapper/cryptswap1" [High,Triaged]
[04:38] <asterismo> my machine refuses to boot up even with the applied patches
[04:47] <asterismo> can anyone help me_
[04:47] <asterismo> ?
[04:53] <holstein> i would probably just not do encrytion that way... maybe just use truecrypt.. the only time i ever used encryption like that, i was getting that message, but i never thought twice about it since the machine booted
[04:59] <asterismo> i suppose that the default encryption that ubuntu provides at install menu is safe enough to not loose data in cases like this
[05:00] <asterismo> now there is some buggy script that doesn't recognizes encrypted partitions... and mountall hangs plymouth and i cannot enter in my desktop since thursday
[05:00] <asterismo> i tried to apply a patch in the bug report but it did not worked
[05:00] <asterismo> i keep running apt-get updates
[05:00] <asterismo> but nothing
[05:02] <asterismo> i see now that encryption still very immature in ubuntu
[05:02] <asterismo> so i'm seriously reconsidering in formatting all and reinstall without encryption
[05:11] <holstein> asterismo: not sure.. its worked OK for me so far
[05:12] <holstein> i just didnt act on any error messages though.. i had one, and got around it OK
[05:12] <holstein> mostly i just use truecrypt
[05:23] <asterismo> do you know anyway to log in to my desktop without loading mountall and plymouth??
[05:47] <mr_gees100_peas> hi all. I'm having problems with video in both chromimum and firefox
[05:47] <mr_gees100_peas> Video playes fine in youtube but choppy everywhere else
[05:47] <mr_gees100_peas> I tried flash-aid for forefox. that helped but it is inconsistent
[05:48] <mr_gees100_peas> video works fine in wondows XP
[05:48] <holstein> mr_gees100_peas: i would try turning comipiz on/off
[05:48] <mr_gees100_peas> how do I do that?
[05:48] <holstein> i would look into alternative drivers.. i would try some live CD's maybe for comparison.. comparing to XP really wont help
[05:49] <mr_gees100_peas> it does works fine in youtube.
[05:49] <holstein> mr_gees100_peas: cool
[05:50] <holstein> i think the live CD thing is the easiest path.. you can usually get flash installed just fine and you can try different kernels
[05:50] <holstein> mr_gees100_peas: if you are using ubuntu 11.10, you should have a "classic mode" or a "2d mode"... some other desktop availble at boot
[05:51] <holstein> i need to head out though... later
[05:51] <mr_gees100_peas> I've seen those listed
[05:51] <mr_gees100_peas> I'm using the gnome shell. Would that make a difference?
[05:54] <mr_gees100_peas> how do I access this compiz thing-a-majiger
[05:54] <mr_gees100_peas> ?
[05:56] <asterismo> holstein, can i ask you a question about patching?
[05:56] <mr_gees100_peas> me?
[05:58] <asterismo> how do you go to a specified line in vi or nano?
[05:59] <mr_gees100_peas> asterismo: in vi or vim press the number line then do capital G
[05:59] <mr_gees100_peas> asterismo: for example lets say I want to go to line 25. Just type 25G
[06:00] <mr_gees100_peas> it has to be capital G or shift-g
[06:00] <mr_gees100_peas> if you want to go to line 345 then just type 345G
[06:00] <mr_gees100_peas> think of G as Go
[06:01] <mr_gees100_peas> I think to be able to see the line number at least on vim then do then type :set number
[06:02] <mr_gees100_peas> just type. As soon as you hit the ":" the command will appear at the bottom of the screen then continue typing "number"
[06:03] <asterismo> got it
[06:03] <asterismo> thanks mr_gees100_peas
[06:03] <mr_gees100_peas> no problem
[06:17] <asterismo> is anyone familiar with the bug 874774

[06:24] <mr_gees100_peas> anybody can help with a video issue?
[06:25] <mr_gees100_peas> video in both chrome and firefox play choppy except in youtube. youtube seems to be the only place that works fine
[06:30] <mr_gees100_peas> no takers?
[06:42] <mr_gees100_peas> I'm having video playback problems in both firefox and chromium. I tried ubuntu 2D gnome classic no effect. I also tried flash-aid for firefox. Video plays fine in youtube but other videos are choppy.
[06:47] <philipballew> mr_gees100_peas,
[06:48] <philipballew> i can see whats up
[06:48] <mr_gees100_peas> yes
[06:48] <philipballew> your having flash issues?
[06:48] <philipballew> is that the root of the issue?
[06:49] <mr_gees100_peas> maybe. I did tried flash-aid and that help with youtube but other videos on other sites are still choppy
[06:49] <mr_gees100_peas> it seems that is a flash issue since the videos all use flash
[06:49] <philipballew> well first off, hows your cpu doin when flash id running?
[06:50] <mr_gees100_peas> hhmm, is there a way to monitor that?
[06:50] <philipballew> try htop
[06:50] <mr_gees100_peas> let me go try
[06:50] <philipballew> i installed that a few weeks back and its really cool
[06:50] <philipballew> sudo apt-get install htop
[06:51] <philipballew> how long you been running ubuntu?
[06:51] <mr_gees100_peas> about 2 weeks maybe 3
[06:52] <philipballew> okay. and what were you using before that?
[06:52] <mr_gees100_peas> windows XP
[06:52] <philipballew> okay. so your first month with ubuntu. How you likin it?
[06:53] <mr_gees100_peas> htop says flash plugin is about 30%
[06:53] <mr_gees100_peas> I like it except for the video problem.
[06:53] <mr_gees100_peas> I like that there is a huge community and the software install itself
[06:54] <mr_gees100_peas> and that you have a lot of control over what is going all.
[06:54] <mr_gees100_peas> going on not going all
[06:55] <philipballew> for sure. well flash is honestly a horrable program compared to html5, but what processor are you running?
[06:55] <philipballew> if only you lived in San diego, I would look at it over coffee.
[06:55] <mr_gees100_peas> right now just firefox, pidgi and htop
[06:56] <mr_gees100_peas> well, htop reports a bunch of stuff
[06:56] <philipballew> no, what type of proccessor do you have
[06:56] <philipballew> stuff is always running
[06:56] <mr_gees100_peas> oh sorry. intel pentium 4
[06:57] <philipballew> the pentuim 4 can be a reason behind it maybe
[06:57] <philipballew> on my debian box with that hardware flash full screen is messy.
[06:57] <mr_gees100_peas> 3GHz
[06:57] <mr_gees100_peas> do you think is because is an older machine
[06:58] <philipballew> possible.
[06:58] <mr_gees100_peas> it works fine in winXP.
[06:58] <philipballew> yeah, flash in linux is kinda bad. adobe is not very nice
[06:58] <philipballew> but check to make sure its not running in hd mose as well
[06:58] <mr_gees100_peas> well, fine is a strong word. The WIfe has some complaint when playing her games
[06:58] <philipballew> *mode
[06:58] <mr_gees100_peas> what is HD mode?
[06:59] <philipballew> the resolution on youtube
[07:00] <mr_gees100_peas> youtube runs fine
[07:00] <philipballew> i joined this. its nice! http://www.youtube.com/html5
[07:00] <mr_gees100_peas> I think is just regular mode
[07:00] <philipballew> okay. is this full screen as well as regular sized?
[07:01] <mr_gees100_peas> regular side.
[07:01] <mr_gees100_peas> size
[07:02] <philipballew> i see
[07:04] <mr_gees100_peas> hmm clicking play on the offending video made the cpu bar in htop go to 99.4%
[07:04] <philipballew> yeah, flash tends to eat up your cpu
[07:05] <philipballew> if i was flash your cpu would be a all your can eat Chinese buffet
[07:06] <mr_gees100_peas> hahaha good one
[07:12] <clarkthehardy910> my wireless card isnt being recognized on my new sammy intel i-3 core notebook. I've done hours of searching through forums, but still having trouble, can anyone point me in the right direction. Im dual booting lucid 10.04 and win7 on it, the solved firmware threads all refer to oneiric, so Im afraid to use it...proprietary drivers isnt showing anything
[07:13] <clarkthehardy910> its a centrino wireless-n 130
[07:13] <clarkthehardy910> thanks in advance
[07:19] <philipballew> clarkthehardy910, what do they say about it?
[07:19] <philipballew> do they say that there is no driver foe it or do they say that it just doesnt work in 10.04
[07:19] <philipballew> 11.10 is stable
[07:19] <philipballew> why are you afraid?
[07:19] <clarkthehardy910> im uneducated
[07:19] <clarkthehardy910> about it
[07:20] <philipballew> unity?
[07:20] <clarkthehardy910> so I can use firmware for something on a previous kernel?
[07:20] <clarkthehardy910> I barely know what Im talking about, im not a developer or programmer, Im just a slightly more capable user
[07:21] <clarkthehardy910> I love ubuntu because its stable, I like 10.04 because its LTS
[07:21] <philipballew> if the problem is that 10.04 doesnt have the driver in it, you can attempt to install drivers for it. but i am running 12.04 now
[07:21] <clarkthehardy910> i.ve got 11.10 on my desktop, but I'd rather keep an lts on my notebook
[07:22] <clarkthehardy910> I dont know how to interpret this thread, because the lingo is a bit above me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11773736  can it work for lucid distro?
[07:23] <philipballew> i can look
[07:23] <clarkthehardy910> if someone knows an easier solution, Im all for it, because I'm not exactly sure how to start at this one
[07:25] <clarkthehardy910> this thread includes building, and I've never done that before
[07:25] <philipballew> clarkthehardy910, paste lspci -vvv to http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[07:28] <clarkthehardy910> ok, just a moment longer
[07:29] <philipballew> no worries
[07:32] <clarkthehardy910> philipballew: http://paste.ubunt.com/909778
[07:33] <clarkthehardy910> sorry http://paste.ubuntu.com/909778/
[07:33] <philipballew> clarkthehardy910, have you booted 11.10 or 12.04 with a live cd and see if the wifi worked by any chance?
[07:35] <clarkthehardy910> no, its a little complicated, the notebook is an ultralight, and I don't have a thumb drive available anymore, but I might try to do that later this week... why? would that tell us something that might help me get the wifi to work on 10.04?
[07:35] <philipballew> yeah, if that works I can just teach you how to compile the new kernel wifi drivers
[07:36] <philipballew> whats ifconfig -a show
[07:38] <clarkthehardy910> http://paste.ubuntu.com/909784/
[07:39] <philipballew> wanna install new drivers?
[07:40] <philipballew> warning, its probably stable, but might make your wireless be unstable. but then again. its not even working now
[07:41] <clarkthehardy910> really?  Would it affect its stabillity in win7, im getting good usage out of it in 7?
[07:41] <clarkthehardy910> im not savvy enough to know what affects what
[07:43] <philipballew> clarkthehardy910, were only working with linux here, its not gonna do anything to affect your windows set up
[07:43] <clarkthehardy910> so it doesn't really affect the wireless card on a hardware level
[07:43] <clarkthehardy910> just the drivers that linux uses
[07:43] <clarkthehardy910> i see
[07:44] <clarkthehardy910> well, is there a thread that I can do some reading? i have to go in a moment so Im out of time to be walked through it
[07:44] <philipballew> maybe. its called compat wireless
[07:45] <clarkthehardy910> philipballew:  if you were me, just starting out to understand all of this, and didn't have a lot of time on your hands, but wanted to get your notebook working with wifi, what would you do the next time you had an hour or so to try?
[07:46] <clarkthehardy910> of course in Ubuntu
[07:46] <philipballew> install ubuntu 11.10
[07:46] <clarkthehardy910> ok, how easy is it to get from 11.10 to the next LTS when its fully ready?
[07:46] <philipballew> easy. it comes out in a month
[07:48] <clarkthehardy910> ok, but do I have to create another LiveUSB? Linux my partitions are 2 EXT4s around 70GB and a 150+ Fat32 to share with Win and a swap 4GB
[07:48] <clarkthehardy910> will I have to partition differently?
[07:49] <clarkthehardy910> or will it be easy for it just to upgrade overwriting the 10.04 install?
[07:49] <clarkthehardy910> and then the 11.10 to 12.04
[07:50] <philipballew> you can upgrade to 10.10 then to 11.04 then to 11.10
[07:50] <philipballew> or you can just upgrade straight to 12.04. you might hit a few bugs in the next month or two
[07:52] <clarkthehardy910> but you recommend a Live USB or just a straight upgrade via terminal, is it possible?
[07:53] <mcbaine2> no
[07:54] <philipballew> its not possible to upgrade from 1004 to 1110 directly
[07:55] <philipballew> unless you want to do a lot of tinkering
[07:55] <clarkthehardy910> philipballew: so the easiest way is to create a live USB
[07:55] <clarkthehardy910> nope, i just want to cleanest and most painless way
[07:56] <philipballew> yeah. just install that again probably. if that doesnt work easily, upgrade like 3 times
[07:56] <clarkthehardy910> are you saying that I can upgrade to 10.10 and then to 11.04 and then 11.10
[07:56] <clarkthehardy910> without clean installing?
[07:56] <clarkthehardy910> can you give me the best link for instructions?
[07:57] <philipballew> sure!
[07:58] <philipballew> hold on!
[07:58] <clarkthehardy910> thank you!
[07:59] <philipballew> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes#Current_and_Supported_Versions
[07:59] <philipballew> yeah!!! thats right!!! I pasted that link so well!!!!
[08:00] <clarkthehardy910> thank you!
[08:00] <clarkthehardy910> =)
[08:01] <philipballew> no problem!!! if wifi doesnt work, find me and well look at it
[08:01] <clarkthehardy910> that's really kind of you, I'm grateful honestly, I hate using windows as a crutch
[15:11] <Sortedmush> Hi. I'm trying to find out how to add files or folders to some sort of a global path. So I can run them from the terminal without changing directory. Any help welcome. I'd really appreciate any suggested links for basics such as this. Thanks
[15:13] <escott> Sortedmush, /etc/profile
[15:14] <Sortedmush> profile.d?
[15:14] <Sortedmush> there's no folder called just "profile"
[15:14] <Sortedmush> in my etc
[15:15] <Sortedmush> ah .. found it :P
[15:18] <Sortedmush> ok, so is this where I add more paths? How do I do this?
[15:27] <Sortedmush> Figured it out by searching for "etc/profile paths" .. Thanks escott, just needed that little kick start :D
[15:40] <digikwondo> hi all, i have a hp dv6 with ubuntu 12.04 . my touchpad with register right clicks. any suggestion?
[15:40] <digikwondo> *wont
[15:41] <escott> digikwondo, were you on the channel a couple days ago?
[15:46] <digikwondo> escott: i drop in from time to time , but i dont think im the person you are refering to ;)
[15:47] <escott> digikwondo, there was someone with the same question yesterday or friday. was wondering if you/he were still struggling with it
[15:47] <digikwondo> escott: first time i ask in irc about it ;)
[15:48] <digikwondo> escott: any suggestions so far?
[15:49] <escott> digikwondo, im afraid i wasn't paying too much attention -- i asked him to run xev and verify the clicks weren't generated he ignore me and i ignored him :)
[15:55] <digikwondo> escott: im happy to follow any suggestions you might have. its a sweet laptop , such a shame the touchpad is buggy
[15:56] <digikwondo> escott: tried 10.04, 11.10 witch had issues with video. 12.04 works except for the issue with the touchpad
[15:56] <escott> digikwondo, well first lets verify that the clicks aren't appearing. open a terminal and type "xev" a little window will appear and if you click in it (or move the mouse around) you should see text in the terminal. verify that nothing happens when you right click
[15:56] <escott> digikwondo, also is this a real clicking pad or is his a touchpad that is supposed to sense some region or finger motion?
[15:58] <digikwondo> escott: yup things are happening
[15:58] <escott> digikwondo, are they happening because you are clicking or because you are moving the mouse while trying to click?
[16:00] <digikwondo> escott: here is a pic http://www.komplett.se/mlf/produkt/diverse/HP/DV6/1.jpg   the whole touchpad region is motion capturing i would say. hard to say if its because of the clicks or simply by touching
[16:01] <escott> digikwondo, a right button press looks like this: ButtonPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001,
[16:01] <escott>     root 0xae, subw 0x3000002, time 14460077, (42,37), root:(43,91),
[16:01] <escott>     state 0x0, button 3, same_screen YES
[16:01] <escott> digikwondo, you could close the xev and then run xev | grep -C3 button
[16:02] <escott> digikwondo, that will filter all the junk
[16:04] <digikwondo> both right nad left click gives ButtonPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
[16:04] <digikwondo>     root 0xac, subw 0x2800002, time 6000637, (15,58), root:(16,112),
[16:04] <digikwondo>     state 0x0, button 1, same_screen YES
[16:04] <digikwondo> EnterNotify event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
[16:04] <digikwondo>     root 0xac, subw 0x0, time 6000637, (15,58), root:(16,112),
[16:04] <escott> digikwondo, so the press is recognized but incorrectly as a button 3
[16:04] <escott> rather a button 1 instead of button 3
[16:06] <digikwondo> escott: acctualy all clicks are button 1 it seems :)
[16:07] <escott> digikwondo, so you could check the output of synclient and see if anything there looks promising. there are a bunch of links on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1600221
[16:08] <escott> digikwondo, having seen how poorly the touchpad on hp's high end "envy" line works in windows im not too optimistic
[16:09] <digikwondo> escott: should work better on a real os then ;)
[16:10] <escott> digikwondo, there is supposed to be a gui for synaptics gpointing-device-settings that might be worth looking into
[16:27] <digikwondo> escott: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fubuntuforums.org%2Fshowpost.php%3Fp%3D8816327%26postcount%3D6&h=bAQG4UDNA   solved it!
[16:28] <digikwondo> escott: thanks mate!
[16:31] <digikwondo> another issue foks. running 12.04 with gnome classic. how do i delete shortcuts from the panel. when i rightclick i only get launch and properties.
[16:38] <escott> digikwondo, you might want to ask in ubuntu+1
[16:40] <digikwondo> escott: thanks
