trism!info python precise | kjs00:02
ubottukjs: python (source: python-defaults): interactive high-level object-oriented language (default version). In component main, is important. Version 2.7.2-9ubuntu6 (precise), package size 162 kB, installed size 657 kB00:02

hyliandoes anyone know if you can get the true urls for audio and video streams, nopolitica wants to know00:03
dax!final | kjs00:03
ubottukjs: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Precise and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 12.04 when it comes out.

KexildradI'm having a problem compiling a program that uses ImageMagick libraries00:03
nopoliticakjs: if you're not sure, then you can't ;)00:03
KexildradI'm using the Magick++-config tool to generate the compiler flags00:03
Kexildradto wit00:04
Kexildrad`Magick++-config --cppflags --ldflags` as an argument to g++00:04
Kexildradbut I still get ex. undefined reference to `Magick::00:04
scott_zActionParsnip: when I do a 'cd $HOME' it still takes me to ~. Are the the same?00:05
Kexildradthe program is definitely spitting out -lMagick++ -lMagickCore and so forth00:05
Kexildradso I'm not sure what's going on here00:05
KexildradI have ImageMagick installed and this compiles on another system00:05
nopoliticascott_z: ~ is a shortcut for home00:06

scott_zActionParsnip: Next topic. I was trying to find a good theme manager to try to make this new software my own. I went to the Software Center and I tried to get the Emerald Theme manager and when I click on info it says it is not found. I tried to use apt-cache and the like to update things (i took notes from our last exchange about the libs) but am not having any luck. Any Ideas?00:20
ActionParsnipscott_z: emerald is very dead00:20

scientes_Wingede, after you get a backtrace check launchpad and gnome bugzilla for your problem01:48

CAZ_auIm upgrading from 11.04 x64to 11.10 x64. As an ex_WIN user i beleive clean installs are best. Im assuming i should do a clean install rather then upgrade (is upgrading via iso even possible?)01:58
CAZ_au1) I have a backup of all my downloaded packages, can i just re-add these using synaptic (espesially nvidia-current) Im assuming some natty specific updates wont install.01:58
CAZ_au2) Whats your usual Ubuntu upgrade checklist? i also have /home on a separte partition so if i do a clean reinstall i should only check /boot and / for reformatting.01:58

_Tristanscientes_: ILU02:01
_Tristanthanksbye.02:01
CAZ_ausparky-: Yeah ill do a clean install. the main problem is i dont feel like downloading nvidia-current again. is nvidia packages release specific.. i dont think they are.oh well, i guessill find out soon enough.02:02
CAZ_auits only around ~50mb but internet in Australia is poop >.>02:02
sparky-caz_au: nvidia packages are kernel-specific, so you'll have to rebuild it anyway02:02
scientes_CAZ_au, all you have to do is apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-current02:04
scientes_sparky-, WRONG02:04
scientes_CAZ_au, and you dont even need to do that, if you dont have the deb still02:04

Bean@Freesey yes, if you DL the 12.04 ISO, and the universal USB thing where it turns it into a usb bootable, then change your boot priority to USB, it will run live from the pendrive with the option to upgrade, install etc from the mounted version of 12.0404:21

freeseycant say I knew that04:40
Artemis3hello share what is your issue? uninstall grub? in that case you should boot windows cd and use the recovery console to fixmbr etc. The boot flag is not that important but you can use gparted to make sure only 1 partition has it04:41
scientes_freesey, but you will need unity-2d probably, or gnome-session-classic for something more like 10.0404:41
scientes_*gnome-session-fallback04:42
Artemis3scientes_, release is in 15 days i think04:42
malvgo with xubuntu, save your sanity04:42
scientes_freesey, how much ram do you have on the machine?04:42
scientes_if it runs 10.04 fine will be fine with the 2d versions of 12.0404:42
freeseyI remember this sucker running 2d gnome with the compiz effects on the cube quite well04:43
comgenmalv : lubuntu-desktop is decent04:43
Artemis3scientes_, if you prefer a classic desktop try xubuntu or lubuntu, there is unity-2d as well if you like04:43

dr_willisflash is a pain.. has been for years06:03
isinok let me check06:03
FernandoCuevaI went to adobe site /software/flash/about and where the version number should be is all white space06:04
LaiamFernandoCueva: um are you in firefox? can you see if firefox has the plugin disabled or if it even recognizes the plugin exists. which flash package did you install cause for some reason i see two of them...06:04
bobo37773If upstream is the developers is downstream the distro itself?06:04
ActionParsnipFernandoCueva: can you pastebin the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'06:04
FernandoCuevaI use opera Laiam06:05
dr_willisgoogle chrome has its own flash built in dosent it. try it perhaps06:05
Jordan_Ubobo37773: Generally, yes. Though there are many levels and some odd cases. I'd love to continue discussing this in #ubuntu-offtopic.06:05
Laiamchromium doesn't bundle the flash plugin06:05
Laiamso you'll have to manually add the google repo for chrome06:05
FernandoCuevahttp://pastebin.com/cGtDygh706:06
LaiamFernandoCueva: does opera recognize the flash plugin exists if not see if there is a way to manually add plugins to opera and see if you can figure out how to add it that way06:06
dr_willisaskubuntu.com may have some info on flash in opera also. i dont use opera06:07
FernandoCuevais not about the plugin I'm sure I tried firefox on live versions06:07
FernandoCuevaand it works on 1 pc not this one06:07
FernandoCuevathe pc is the problem and as someone suggested maybe due to the video driver06:07
LaiamFernandoCueva: so both firefox and opera are failling to use flash?06:07

Jordan_Uaerisique: Ubuntu 9.10 didn't support being dd'd to a drive.06:14
ActionParsnipFernandoCueva: its old school, but it works06:14
FernandoCuevaActionParsnip, the second one right?06:15
ActionParsnipFernandoCueva: yes the second06:15
Jordan_Uaerisique: And I don't know where that grub menu is coming from, but if that's really the last command you ran which wrote to the USB then it's *not* comming from the USB drive.06:15
aerisiqueJordan_U, that explains a lot.. thanks. The grub menu is coming from when I installed Arch so it's not from the USB06:17
dr_willis dev/disk2 you did use the actual sd*. not sda1  but sda. for example. and dd works with 11.04+ only i think06:17
DropsOfSerenitycan I associate a window with a .desktop file, the .desktop file I made works, it launches the application, but then the window it launches is not linked with the launcher I made, and I can't pin just the window, how can I link the 2?06:18
dr_willisDropsOfSerenity:  what app?06:18
DropsOfSerenitydr_willis, It's a game called tibia06:18
aerisiquedr_willis, it's most likely the dd incompatibility. I did use the actual sd*. I tried writing to /dev/disk2s2 for shits and just to confirm and it didn't work06:18
Laiamaerisique: does your bios support boot from usb, and did you select the usb from the boot menu?06:19
Jordan_Uaerisique: You're welcome. 11.04 does support being dd'd by the way.06:19
FernandoCuevastill doesn't work06:19
aerisiqueLaiam, yes/yes. I think my problem is solved though - I used dd for 9.10 and it's not supported, thanks for asking though06:19
dr_willisDropsOfSerenity:  is the launcher running a script that then runs the game?06:19

Guest60004GirlyGirl how do i find this out? sorry im new to this07:46
GirlyGirlGuest60004: Can you provide your complete system specs, sound card, processor, memory07:46
ma1GirlyGirl: no...just want understand some code07:46
rkhshmsacarlson: well off-late I've begun to use SAHI proxy server.. so yes.. But I've shut down the proxy server long ago07:46
GirlyGirlGuest60004: Open terminal and use "lspci"07:47
sacarlsonrkhshm: well that would be a problem if you shut down the proxy server but your apt-get is still tring to use it07:47
GirlyGirlma1: Then go to the kernel website and download the source from there07:47
rkhshmand when i pgresp for that proxy server I dont see it running07:47
rkhshmsacarlson: hmm.. so how do i fix this?07:47
sacarlsonrkhshm: so I guess you need to change your proxy settings07:48
rkhshmhow do i fix apt-get to use "no proxy" ?07:48
sacarlsonrkhshm: I'm not sure how you set them up so you must be the expert not me07:48
tanathrkhshm, it looks like your system is trying to use one nonetheless. it failed because a local port wasn't allowing it07:48
Guest60004  07:48
Guest60004GirlyGirl here's my lspci: http://pastebin.com/Yi8KfxYN07:48
sacarlsonrkhshm:  might be better to google how to set it to proxy and do the reverse07:49
tanathGuest60004, frequently killing pulseaudio will do the trick07:49
Guest60004tanath cool, how do i do that?07:49
tanathGuest60004, pkill pulseaudio07:49
rkhshmsacarlson: here is the interesting part.. I started the proxy server and tried apt-get and it still failed07:49
Guest60004tanath didn't work :-/07:49
GirlyGirlGuest60004: Can you monitor your cpu usage while playing audio07:49
tanathGuest60004, switch everything you can to use alsa directly...07:49
rkhshmso if proxy was being used by apt-get it should have worked when i started the proxy server07:49
tanathwell, it was worth a shot07:49
rkhshmbut it didn't07:49
ma1GirlyGirl: but if i want to use the code for my installed kernel07:50
GirlyGirlma1: Its the same code!07:50
sacarlsonrkhshm: I'm not sure, what changes did you make to setup the proxy?07:50
Guest60004GirlyGirl i'll try, not sure how though, ill do a google07:50
rkhshmsacarlson: i only launch the server and change port numbers in the browser... that's all..07:51
tanathdoes anyone know or if 'top' is installed by default?07:51
rkhshmBut i've shut it down already07:51
GirlyGirlGuest60004: use "top" in terminal07:51
tokinwhitemantop07:51
rkhshmtanath: yes top is installed by default07:51
tanathhtop is better, but if 'top' is what's there..07:51
sacarlsonrkhshm: oh how did changing the browser proxy effect the apt-get?07:51
Guest60004GirlyGirl well doesnt seem to be using that much cpu07:52
Guest6000412%07:53
tanathrkhshm, you might assume that, but not if the proxy is having issues. can you avoid routing through the proxy?07:53
GirlyGirlGuest60004: Does the crackling occur with all sound applications?07:53
sacarlsonrkhshm: well I google and found this is how proxy is set in apt-get export http_proxy=http://yourproxyaddress:proxyport07:53
=== _chris is now known as Guest75501
ma1GirlyGirl: what about patches made by Ubuntu....also my installed kernel version difference?07:53
tanathGuest60004, test with aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav07:54
sacarlsonrkhshm: so I guess something must have done that?  if so how is that reversed?07:54
rkhshmtanath: well I've shut down the server itself. and the only routing i do is with the browser that's all.. so when i shut down the proxy and revert browser settings it should work fine07:54
Guest60004GirlyGirl only noticed it with banshee (which i uninstalled) and now rhythmbox07:54
Guest60004tanath nothing played, sound wise07:54
Guest60004with that command07:54
tanathrkhshm, IIRC when you set the proxy in gnome it is generally used by the rest of the system too07:55
sacarlsonrkhshm: changing your browser proxy has no effect on apt-get as far as I know07:55

tomasztokinwhiteman, becouse i have problem with big partition08:02
Jordan_Utomasz: Any size. If you want to use a partition larger than 2 TiB then you'll need to use a GPT label, but the installer will set that up for you if you have a disk larger than 2 TiB.08:03
tomasztokinwhiteman,  ubuntu dont start if is too big08:03

tanathtomasz, i think the issue you're encountering is with the bios not ubuntu. you need to enable LBA in bios. it won't boot on a partition past the first 137gb without it08:06
tanathwithout chainloading08:06
tomasztanath,  hmm i chek it08:07
tomaszcheck08:07
tanathtomasz, unless you formatted the drive in a way that disables lba...08:07

StepNjumpDo anyone know of a way to drag a file or folder without having to keep the finger pressing on the mouse button while moving?

intorenetwork interface?09:01
UBUxUBUhmm so my ole 7200 rpm sata beats a sandisk cruzer flash drive for memory caching?09:01
tanathUBUxUBU, caching small things may be different, but i'm no expert09:01
tanathUBUxUBU, you can google specs & such though, and/or others who've asked similar questions. i've seen a product that does what you're asking about that's supposed to boost speeds, but it seemed questionable09:03
sacarlsonintore: you config files look like they should work,  and that log looks like others that are having this problem09:03
intoreothers people?09:03
sacarlsonintore: so solution would be to run the older working kernel and wpa-supplicant match09:03
UBUxUBUi wonder if the swap was zero but if you made a 4 gig swap on a flash driver if buntu would use it09:03
tanathUBUxUBU, linux uses swap partitions, but yes i think it'll use whatever swap partition is available09:04
sacarlsonintore: yes other people as in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185763509:04

intoremmm, this is new for me, really!09:08
MariusKarthausHi I have a clean pangolin install and I need ia32-libs installed  to run some 32 bits software. But apt refuses to install due to unresolved dependencies and aptitude gives a solution that clearly will break my entire system if I proceed. How do I resolve the 32 bit prolem in precice pangolin?09:08
intorei never work on the kernel09:08
thirdknifetanath, it is not available  in 10.04 xubuntu09:08
intorei never worked on the kernel09:08
UBUxUBUnice link tanath09:09
=== XuMuK|znc is now known as XuMuK
sacarlsonintore: the kernel is much like a package in ubuntu not much more to it09:09
sacarlsonintore: I guess you don't need to try the iso  just import the kernel package to try it I guess09:10
sacarlsonintore: if it fails your net or fails to boot you can just pick the original from grub to boot again09:10
intorei never did it and i don't want make damages!09:10
OerHeksMariusKarthaus, 12.04 is multi-arch, but you better join #Ubuntu+1 for pangolin support untill release.09:10
VOITHISTEHello i would like some help with ubuntu 11.10. For an unknown reason i have to put a root password at software center, to mount a device, and what ever requires a sudo password09:11
intorecould you suggest me a guide about this argument please?09:11
sacarlsonintore: other posible solution is to find the working driver set and compile them onto your present kernel09:11
sacarlsonintore: this is the kernel I now run that works for me: Linux FreeNet 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:10:02 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux09:13
intoresacarlson: which lines on log tells you is a problem of kernel/driver/wpa?09:14
sacarlsonintore: I'm not booted onto my 11.10 so I'm not sure what  it has but it's like 3.0.xX09:14
zatanhi how can i remove Set User ID's on files ?09:14
sacarlsonintore: it's very much a guess I didn't have time to study your logs09:15
intoreah ok09:15
intorei posted it on the forum09:15
sacarlsonintore: but if you read the example link you will see some similarities09:16
sacarlsonintore: yes but I only glanced at it09:16
VOITHISTEHello I would like to know why ubuntu keeps asking root password instead of sudo. Any suggestions to fix that would be welcome :).09:16
mrintegr1tyVOITHISTE: what command are you entering09:17
sacarlsonintore: and since the only changed that I can see in like wicd that should work in 11.10 didn't cause the problem the kernel did09:17
VOITHISTEnot just a command everything that needs sudo password\09:17
VOITHISTEsoftware center for example09:17
mrintegr1tyVOITHISTE: have you previously set a root password?09:17
VOITHISTENo09:18
bluefrogVOITHISTE, that's the way sudo works. you can tweak the sudoers file in order not to enter a password but then you defeat the security scheme09:18
mrintegr1tyVOITHISTE: so what happens when you run software center?09:18
mrintegr1tybluefrog: you miss understand his problem09:18
bluefrogok09:18
VOITHISTEIf i try to install a software it asks for Root password instead of sudo For every app09:18
mrintegr1tyVOITHISTE: does it put up a window saying "enter root password" or what do you mean?09:19
VOITHISTEyes09:19
mrintegr1tythats odd09:19
VOITHISTEexcactly it asks root password09:19
StepNjumpIn Nautilus, can use ctrl shft to create a new folder but is there a way to create a new text file using a keyboard shortcut?09:19
mrintegr1tyVOITHISTE: did you add yourself to the "admin" group?09:20
mrintegr1tyVOITHISTE: when you installed ubuntu, it has a checkbox when you add the default user "add this user to administrators group"09:20
intorei don't see similarities between my log and that one you proposed me.09:20
VOITHISTEActually i had a sound problem and i think that i did added my shelf there09:20
yandex381StepNjump: Alt->F->D->E. Traverses the Nautilus menu09:20

GeronUbuntu and iSCSI. When (if?!) will Ubuntu support multiple initators on a single target?!09:20
intoreanyway, thanks09:21
intorehope for the forum09:21

VOITHISTEuid=1000(xristos) gid=1000(xristos) ομάδες=1000(xristos),29(audio)09:21
VOITHISTEuid=1000(xristos) gid=1000(xristos) teams=1000(xristos),29(audio)09:21
mrintegr1tyVOITHISTE: you are not in the admin group09:21
mrintegr1tyVOITHISTE: as root run "gpasswd -G admin xristos"09:22
mrintegr1tyVOITHISTE: that will add your user to the admin group and you should now be able to use sudo09:23
VOITHISTEWait i am confused09:23
intoresacarlson: i don't uderstand what you mean09:23
=== eBot is now known as Guest11006
VOITHISTEyou mean log in as root (sudo su) and then run the command?09:23
mrintegr1tyVOITHISTE: if you know the root password, you can use "su -" to become root once and run that command i showed you09:23
sw!root09:24
ubottuDo not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo09:24
sacarlsonintore: its seems related in the sence that you both have the same simptums that link to not working driver to wpa-supplicant09:24
VOITHISTEi dont know the root password09:24
mrintegr1tyVOITHISTE: after that you should be able to use sudo, and the prompts from applications like software center should (hopefully) start using sudo and your own password instead of root09:24
mrintegr1tyVOITHISTE: ah09:24
StepNjumpyandex381: anything else like a quicker keyboad shortcut like shift ctrl something?09:24
VOITHISTEThe problem is i dont know the root password09:24
VOITHISTEif i knew it everything would be alright :)09:24
mrintegr1tyVOITHISTE: that kinda sucks, it's a littl ebit of a hasstle to recover the root password. Simple but annoying09:25
GeronVOITHISTE: In Ubuntu, the root user doesnt have a password (unless you set one manually)09:25
swVOITHISTE: have you ever set the root password?09:25
sacarlsonintore: as I am now a part of that group since all I have is two raylink rt73 usb devices that don't work past ubuntu 10.0409:25
VOITHISTENo only a sudo( you know the one that instalation forces you to have)09:25
swVOITHISTE: '$ sudo passwd root' and enter a password, then '$ sudo gpasswd -G admin xristos'09:25
yandex381StepNjump: Not that I know. There used to be a way to change/add nautilus shortcuts in the preferences, but can't find it. Maybe the option was removed?09:26
GeronNo, dont give root a password..09:26
GeronNo need.09:26
mrintegr1tyVOITHISTE: what you should do is reboot to the live cd and "chroot" into your installed ubuntu. once you did that you can then modify your user to be in the admin group. if your not a bit experienced then that might not mean anything to you but i can help you with it09:26
intorebut the problem you mean is about drivers doesn't work using wpa_supplicant?09:26
swVOITHISTE: after you've solved your problem, disable it again with '$ sudo passwd -dl root'09:26
sacarlsonintore: I'll later explore using my 10.04 kernel on 11.10 maybe later today09:26
mrintegr1tysw: he doesn't know the root password and his user is not in the admin group, that is the problem. read the scrollback before offering advice09:27
Geronsw: If VOITHISTE can sudo, there is no need to set a root password to add a user to a group.09:27
swmrintegr1ty: he's never set a root password, so he can just set one09:27
sacarlsonintore: yes why does your wifi device not work without encryption or have you not yet verified that fact?09:27
VOITHISTEI cant sudo09:27
mrintegr1tysw: no, as his user is not in the admin group, his user doesnt have permission to do that09:27
Geronsw: No he cant, cause he cant sudo!09:27
VOITHISTEThanx for your support guys09:28
mrintegr1tyVOITHISTE: you can accept advice from others or you can listen to one person09:28
GeronVOITHISTE: follow mrintegr1ty's advice.09:28
VOITHISTEi will09:28
intoreyou mean to try a free connection?09:28
intoreno password?09:28
sacarlsonintore: I also tried the legacy raylink encryption driver that also don't work in 11.1009:28
StepNjumpfound ctrl shft e09:28
VOITHISTEjust a last thing when i try to log in as sudo at terminal this comes up09:28
VOITHISTExristos is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported09:28
VOITHISTEI dont know if it help any further09:29
intore11:24 < sacarlson> intore: its seems related in the sence that you both have the same simptums that link to not working driver to wpa-supplicant09:29
sacarlsonintore: yes I have my own wifi network so I can experiment on that maybe you don't have that resorce09:29
swVOITHISTE: that's telling you that you're not in the sudoers file - which you already knew09:29
VOITHISTE:)09:29
mrintegr1tyVOITHISTE: ok, it's actually a bit of a pain in the *** to fix so you have two options, 1. reboot into the live cd and "chroot" to your installed ubuntu, from there you can change anyting on the installed OS and you don't need the password (so you can fix it). 2. reinstall ubuntu, if this is a new install then that might be the easiest option for you but you can always try the chroot first.09:30
intoresacarlson>  a question: i haven't problem using this network interface with network manager, what is the different of use?09:30
mrintegr1tyoh well, he left09:30
intorebetween console and X?09:30
sacarlsonintore: oh maybe we are not related then if it works on network-manager  maybe that uses legacy not wpa-supplicant,  that might be why it works, I'm not sure09:31
=== XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|znc
sacarlsonintore: in wicd you can select between legacy and wpa2 ext  to posibly verify what is the difference09:32
sacarlsonintore: or you can try the script I gave you to experment with it,  but my rt73 don't have wpa support imbedded in the driver09:33
VOITHIASOk i am back :) What do i have to do with CHROOT09:35
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: ok, it's actually a bit of a pain in the *** to fix so you have two options, 1. reboot into the live cd and "chroot" to your installed ubuntu, from there you can change anyting on the installed OS and you don't need the password (so you can fix it). 2. reinstall ubuntu, if this is a new install then that might be the easiest option for you but you can always try the chroot first.09:35
VOITHIASI HAVE INSTALLED UBUNTU MORE THAN  TIMESI N A WEEK09:35
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: chill09:35
VOITHIASso i will choose live cd method09:35
VOITHIAS:)09:35
VOITHIASi am already in live cd (actually it is a usb stick anyway)09:36
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: ok, if this is not a seperate computer that you are using for IRC then you will have to write these instrutions down. It's quite simple. here comes the instructions09:36
VOITHIASit is the same09:36
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: great so yo uhave internet, that makes it simpler09:36
VOITHIASYes09:36
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: open a terminal and type sudo -i, as it's the live env it won't ask for a pass and you will be root09:37
intore11:24 < sacarlson> intore: its seems related in the sence that you both have the same simptums that link to not working driver to wpa-supplicant09:37
VOITHIASYep root ..09:37
sacarlsonintore: I already read that09:37
intoresacarlson: am sorry, many problem with electricity09:37
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: next, you need to know where ubuntu is installed on the disk, do you already know that information? (the partition number09:38
VOITHIAShm no09:38
intoreis a mistake09:38
intorebut, how to configure without password?09:38
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: if not, and assuming it's the only operating system installed (not dual boot) run "fdisk -l"09:38
VOITHIASGive me a second i have windows too09:39
intoredon't i have to use wpa_supplicant.conf file?09:39
sacarlsonintore: what a typo?  it's my problem maybe a part of yours,  maybe yours works in lagacy but not wpa-supplicant09:39
VOITHIASex partition at /dev/sda509:39
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: paste the output from fdisk -l to pastebin.com09:39
VOITHIAShttp://pastebin.com/tvZigiev09:40
sacarlsonintore: yes I posted my wpa_supplicant.conf file as an example but mine configured to wep,09:40
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: great, looks like ubuntu is on sda509:40
mrintegr1tyas you said09:40
sacarlsonintore: maybe you didn't get it??09:40
VOITHIASOK09:40
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: so now run "mkdir /mnt/ubu; mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/ubu"09:41
walidvb hi guys! I'm trying to install drivers for traveller mk1 for use with jackd09:41
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: and then, "chroot /mnt/ubu"09:41
intoreok, but setting my wifi network without password how could i do?09:41
sacarlsonintore: my experiments included using wicd09:41
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: after running the chroot command, any additional command you run will be "inside " your installed ubuntu09:41
walidvbi installed ffado, but i think i need to configure ffado to use the right firewire09:41
VOITHIASOk09:41
VOITHIASeverything don09:42
sacarlsonintore: for that you would need to have admin rights on your access point to turn off encryption09:42
VOITHIASdone*09:42
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: now you can run "gpasswd -G admin xristos"09:42
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: tell me what output u get, if any09:42
VOITHIASgpasswd: invalid option -- 'G'09:42
intorei know, am talking about /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf09:43
VOITHIASand a rest of useless options09:43
waufjapanese room language?09:43
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: ah sorry, -a not -G09:43
intorehow to set no passwd there09:43
sacarlsonintore: I bypassed the /etc/network/interfaces in my script09:43
VOITHIASgpasswd: user 'admin' does not exist09:43
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: oops.. gpasswd -a xristos admin09:44
sacarlsonintore: I don't want to mess with my system settings I just run different scirpts to get the results I need09:44
intoreah09:44
VOITHIASAdding user xristos to group admin    (i think that this means succes right?)09:44
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: great yeah09:44
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: do you know the password for the user xristos`09:44
mrintegr1ty?09:44
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: I ask because if not, this is a good time to set it09:44
VOITHIASYes09:45
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: otherwise you should be ready to reboot and use the installed ubuntu09:45
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: so exit the chroot (press ctrl d09:45
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: then umount /mnt/ubu09:45
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: then reboot09:45
intoreyou mean you don't know how to configure wpa_supplicant.conf file?09:45
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: and hopefully you can use your password as you would expect09:45
sacarlsonintore: yes I have two wpa-supplicant.conf files I gave you the one I have tested that works09:46
VOITHIASOk "hopefully" it will work thanx for the help. And one last thing now that i am at live enviroment09:46
VOITHIASIf i increase the size of my partition will it corrupt ubuntu?09:46
sacarlsonintore: my script still links to the conf file09:46
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: depends how you do it09:46
VOITHIASlast time i tried it corrupted it09:46
lokaihi, could someone explain why there is a "(0)" next to my username on the commandline on a fresh install ubuntu 11.04?09:47
VOITHIASi have 16GB of unallocated space in my hard drive09:47
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: if you use gparted for example, it should work nicely. i can't recommend it though unless i was physcally there to do it myself. it's not a "safe" operation for beginners09:47
VOITHIASi want to allocate them at ubuntu09:47
intorebut you set a password in wpa_supplicant.conf file i think09:47
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: then it should be quite straight forward but I still don't recommend it09:48
VOITHIASSo i cant increase the size?09:48
VOITHIASwithout setting my installation to danger of course09:48
sacarlsonintor: wpa-supplicant.conf   http://paste.ubuntu.com/923032/  and script that runs it http://paste.ubuntu.com/923032/09:48
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: yeah you can but it's up to you if you trust your own skills09:48
intoreare the same files!09:49
sacarlsonintore: yes I set my access point to wep to test it09:49
sacarlsonopps09:49
intorethe same script09:49
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: 90% of the time it will work without issue but sometimes it requires manual steps that you may or may not be capable of performing your self09:49
VOITHIASAnd ubuntu is supposed to be user friendly ;)09:49
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: i recommend you play around with ubuntu for a while first, create some partitions on a usb stick and use gparted to resize them so you can get a feel for it. then you  can try on your installed os from the live cd with more confidence09:50
geirhaI'd say 99.9% of the time. I've done alot of partitioning with gparted, without problems.09:50
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: resizing any  partition if you are not an experienced user is never going to be 100% safe09:50
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: regarldes of OS09:51
sacarlsonintore: I seem to have some problem pastebinit my conf file09:52
VOITHIASAnyway .. what could have caused the problem with my user and i was removed from administrators. If i know i will try to prevent it next time09:52
jpollardVOITHIAS: Why are you trying to resize the partition anyway? Just out of curiosity.09:52
mrintegr1tygeirha: so you fit the "experienced" profile and it's pefectly sane for you to do it. VOITHIAS has done it one time before and it messed up, hence more practice is required before doing it for real09:52
VOITHIASi have allocated a small amount of size thats all09:52
sacarlsonintore: http://pastebin.com/22vK3puK09:52
VOITHIASof Mbs.09:52
sacarlsonintore: not sure why It didn't work in nautilus09:52
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: when you installed ubuntu you probably did not select "add this user to the administrators group"09:53
sacarlsonintore: oh it still didn't work09:53
geirhaVOITHIAS: Just make sure you have a backup of all the files you can't afford to lose, then follow the partitioning howto09:53
VOITHIASPerviously i could log in as sudo but today i couldnt09:53
=== mang0 is now known as Seryth
VOITHIASgeirha i have a back up in an other partition :)09:53
sacarlsonintore: something about sending config files on pastebin it says it's spam?09:53
geirhaVOITHIAS: You should have a backup on a separate medium09:54
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: then i don't know, hopefully you didn't alter some file that is requried for sudo (anythying under /etc/sudoers* for example), in which case adding you to the admin gruop might not have been sufficient to fix the issue09:54
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: give it a try anyway09:54
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: reboot i mean09:54
jpollardVOITHIAS: When you say login, do you mean you couldn't login as root, or the 'sudu' command wouldn't work?09:54
jpollard^'sudo'09:55
mrintegr1tyjpollard: the sudo command woulndt work. he was not in the "admin" group which explains it09:55
VOITHIASsudo09:55

VOITHIASIf i come back it will mean that it did not worked :) if i wont come back it means YOU ARE AWESOME GUYS  thanx for the help :).09:55
mrintegr1tyVOITHIAS: just reboot and put an end to the suspense ;)09:56

auronandace!notunity | philipp_11:51
ubottuphilipp_: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel".

sacarlsonintore: it has no info about what access point12:45
intoresacarlson: ah!12:45
sacarlsonintore: if your going to use the interfaces file method then you will have to research the setup12:45

admininjaHi everyone, I am having real isses bootin my IBM X-Server, it drops me to initfs tells me I need to wait for root device etc etc, I tried adding rootdelay=90 to the boot arguments but no deal... If i type "exit" it just boots right into ubuntu.. Been checking out several threads but they all tell me to set the rootdelay=90 argument.. anyone had similar problems or know what might cause this ?12:55
_r00t_anyone know how to run a second X server for a specific user on a different tty12:55
nesusvetды12:57
sacarlsonadmininja: maybe it's trying to mount some file system that it can't find and I guess doesn't need?12:57
nesusvetsorry12:57
admininjasacarlson: might be, how do I go about troubleshooting it ?12:57
geirha_r00t_: that's what happens when you switch to another user12:57
admininjasacarlson: It has a hardware RAID that isnt my friend today12:57
sacarlsonadmininja: hard for me without seeing the boot sequence but take out all uneeded mounts from /etc/fstab to start12:58
admininjasacarlson: Still i was able to install the base system on it and I can even boot it12:58
_r00t_hmmmmm fair point geraldh ... I'll be doing this on the console ... would it really matter ?12:58
bastidrazor_r00t_: startx -- :1  may be what you're looking for.12:59
sacarlsonadmininja: is it some strange disk interface or maybe raid?12:59
admininjasacarlson: SAS Raid12:59
_r00t_bastidrazor: I hope so... now how do I wrap that into upstart ?12:59
admininjasacarlson: It only shows the raid, the swap and the floppy disk in fstab13:00
admininjasacarlson: could it be due to the floppy ?13:00
admininjasacarlson: It also complains about UUIDs :S13:00
sacarlsonadmininja: that must be the reason then,  maybe boot the system from non raid device but then that just defeats having raid so?13:00
admininjasacarlson: true dat..  I need atleast a RAID1 config13:00
sacarlsonadmininja: why would it complain about uuids did you like just direct copy the system onto a different disk drive?13:01
admininjasacarlson: nope.. clean install from USB pen onto the RAID13:01
admininjasacarlson: "server" install13:02
admininjasacarlson: could it be that its taking a UUID from ONE of the disks in the raid, while the install took its from the RAID itself13:02

chroothow can i remote control  media player in ubuntu with a phone?13:09
admininjaProgster: Shouldnt be much config.. did sudo dpkg --reconfigure sendmail get you anywhere? If not the config files are probablt in /etc/sendmail somewhere.. It shouldnt be that hard13:10
Progsterthe question is: do I need to have DNS setup correctly?13:10
marcusAnyone know how to fix "Cannot connect. Connection refused", with ssh to a local openssh-server, it worked when I didn't add the match user settings..13:10

shaneohey guys is there a way to allow ethernet and wifi connections to run at the same time i use my ethernet for direct transfers to my ps3 but i wanna be able to use my wifi at the same time13:19
=== windows is now known as xoxito_loko
ikoniashaneo: if you connect them both to the public internet, you'll find it pretty hard13:20
wavdedany buddy know how to allow locks on files in a mounted drive?13:21
ikoniawavded: sorry what ?13:21
shaneoikonia, only wifi will connect via public the ethernet is just a direct link13:21
ikoniashaneo: then sure13:21
shaneoikonia, how so ?13:21
ikoniashaneo: just configure the ethernet on the same network as the ps313:21
wavdedi have a perl script that stopped working when i hosted it from a mounted drive13:21
wavdedbecause it can't obtain a file lock13:22
ikoniawavded: why has it stopped working ?13:22
wavdedsays permissions denied13:22
ikoniawavded: ok, so you need to look at how the perl script is creating the lock file13:22
ikoniawavded: I suspect your permissions are wrong based on that error13:22
=== xoxito_loko is now known as adventura
shaneoikonia, yeah i have the direct link setup with the ps3 but want wifi for surfing puroposes13:22
wavdedthey are 777 on everything around the file13:22
ikoniashaneo: ok, now connect the wifi to the public internet13:22
ikoniawavded: what file ?13:22
wavdedthe folder the file, etc13:22
ikoniawavded: what file system is on the mounted drive ?13:23
shaneoikonia,13:23
shaneook13:23
shaneoit switches of of eth0 and goes to wlan013:23
ikoniashaneo: what does ?13:23
wavdedext3 i believe13:23
shaneomy pc13:23
ikoniawavded: where is the perl script trying to write a lock file to ?13:23
wavdedthey are all ubuntu server (the mount and the two webservers that hook into the mount)13:23
ikoniashaneo: are they on the same network range ?13:23
wavdedi'll check13:24
shaneoikonia, yes ubuntu is only allowing me one connection at a time13:24
shaneoeither wifi or eth not both13:24
ikoniashaneo: not what I asked13:24
ikoniashaneo: what is the ip address of wired connection ?13:24
shaneoyes they are13:24
wavdedif it helps at all, this issue almost exactly describes what I'm experiencing and they found a solution but I don't know how to make that happen on ubuntu server - http://www.talkroot.com/free-bsd/69942-unable-obtain-shared-lock-nfs-freebsd-client.html13:25
shaneoikonia, 10.1.1.013:25
ikoniashaneo: what is the ip address of the wifi card ?13:25
shaneo192.168.1.6713:25

dackyshawnhello?13:26
ikoniahello13:26
shaneoikonia, oh sorry 10.1.1.113:27
dackyshawnok i guess it is still working sorry13:27
dackyshawni thought my chat client stopped receiving messages haha13:27
fruitwerks_or can I add something to rc.local to keep cron from starting?13:27
ikoniashaneo: ok, so that means when your wifi is up, it is trying to route out of the wired connection, that is not good13:27
_r00t_something like  cat /var/run/ConsoleKit/database13:28
ProgsterTrying to run sendmail from command line, get up to "enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself", and then it does nothing13:29
shaneoikonia, sorry i was mistaken my wifi runs on DHCP and the ethernet has a manually set ip range and subnet of 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.1 and the ps3 is 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.1013:29
wavdedikonia: in the article they talk about making sure rpc.lockd and rpc.statd are running but those programs don't seem to exist in ubuntu server anymore (last man page I could find was for dapper :)13:29
shaneoand 10.1.1.213:29
ikoniashaneo: that sounds possible13:29
ikoniashaneo: that doesn't change what I said though13:30
shaneolol so how can i get them to coexist13:30
ikoniawavded: they should still exist, let me do a little research13:30
wavdedikonia: thanks13:30
ikoniashaneo: sort your routing out, your default route needs to be the wifi gateway (not the wifi ip - but wifi gateway)13:30

bearly230Morning all. I was wondering if anyone had any idea on what would be causing ubuntu 11.10 64bit, to randomly crash to login screen when using a web browser. Could be Firefox, or Chrome. I run for days find and other days crashes several times an hour.14:43
troulouliou_devhi since i installed miro , torrent file in firefox are managed by it , however i would like to configure  deluged as main program  ? where is located that configuration (gconf , etc , firefox , deluged .....)14:43
Mofasademonboy: have u implemented the libnpjp2.so aswell ?14:44
mneptoktroulouliou_dev: Firefox needs to be told to download .torrent files, not invoke Miro (or any other app).14:44
troulouliou_devmneptok, i mean the "open with" option14:44
demonboyMneptok: it's been 4 days that had this problem I've only slept a total like 5 hours so you have excuse if I'm just tryna get some answers because ubuntu plus 1 isn't really helping14:44

intoresacarlson: yes but ikonia told me that the problem logging with ldap account is becasue network interfaces are not bring up at startup so it doesn't find account on the server15:10

bazhangXtreme, are you trying to bond the two?15:36
intoresacarlson: in this way it can connect to ldap server and find the accounts15:36

yandexXtreme: Were you asking ikonia earlier?15:36
phong_gouzou, dude, i told you, i have classic them15:36
sebwolfphong_, you should find the startup applications somewhere in the "system" dialog next to the applications dialog (Gnome)15:36
bazhangyandex, how is that relevant?15:36

Xtremeanyone?15:38
phong_gouzou, dude i got it15:38
grailianand I tried to build it from scratch or import it to Eclipse but the dependencies for plugins require diferent versions than the ones I already have15:38
grailiando you know an easy way to reuse this project? No instructions attached15:38
phong_gouzou, it is in Application->Other->Startup Appliction15:39
phong_lol15:39
sacarlsonintore: then keep some accounts local and some on nfs, they don't all have to be nfs,  but my pxe boot fine from my nfs so ??15:39
intoresacarlson: listen, once am logged on my system like local account, using a shell or with ctrl-alt-f1, i can change account to an ldap account15:39
gouzouphong_: I've stopped using Ubuntu two years ago.15:39

phong_then why are you here?15:40
gouzouphong_: So I don't remember very well. xD15:40
intoresacarlson: yes!15:40
yandexgrailian: You might have to satisfy the Java dependencies manually then rather than using Eclipse plugins. Does the project use Apache Ant or anything like that?15:40
sacarlsonintore: ok then 2 bricks moved next problem15:40
intoresacarlson: am sorry if i didn't explain you before15:40

sddhrthrtHey people!18:17
neurochromejwmto, not familiar with that hardware, have you tried the additional drivers (or whatver they call it nowadays, I lose track)18:17
neurochromeActionParsnip, Yeah, only one way to find out!18:18
sddhrthrtThere is no audible bell in my computer. Any idea how to configure it ?18:18

jwmtoNeurochrome: i've tried the graphical tool (still called additional drivers) but I get nowhere18:18
neurochromesddhrthrt, if it's wired then you should set that in bios18:18
msh3abhi how r u every one18:18
ActionParsnipdiamonds: there is a manual method. I created a bug for it a while back. Same method just a different filename18:18
jwmtois there a better room to be asking this video driver question?18:18

ActionParsnipDiamonds: it installs dropbox as a service you can stop and start :-)18:19
jerome__Pici: maybe it's that which cause the trap18:19
ActionParsnipDiamonds: yes, installing in CLI only18:20

sddhrthrtneurochrome: No, its not what i want.18:21
neurochromesddhrthrt, if it's plugged in where it should be then you have to make sure it's enabled in your bios, then configure your IRC client to use it... I couldn't tell you how to set irssi to use it18:21
ActionParsnipDiamonds: look at the bugs I have reported on Launchpad. You see how18:21
neurochromesddhrthrt, ok, so what 'bell' are you referring to18:21

ubottubombadil_rocks: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel".

Escherialxangua: i'm confused. what is pangolin?19:31
Escherialah, the next release, apparently?19:31
escottVespakoen, yes. been reading. run dpkg -l "*grub*" and see what version of grub you have installed19:31

balachmarecho 'test mail' | mail -s 'testing this' myemail@gmail.com works fine, however, sendmail -bv myemail@gmail.com does not19:32
Vespakoenscotty, I see grub, and grub2, and a lot of grub-... and grub2-...19:32
Bennlucky7xangua: 12.04 a.k.a precise pangolin19:33
taninthats right19:33
escottVespakoen, you probably want grub-efi or something. not sure what works best with refit19:33
escottVespakoen, or for that matter why refit doesnt offer the boot option itself19:33
VespakoenYeh I think there is a problem in my MBR or GPT tables somewhere, it tried with gpart to recreate the tables but that didn't work19:34

Vespakoenif i run a command to list the table, can you get clues from that?19:34
=== Guest55953 is now known as kneemoe
guntbertbalachmar: I suggest asking in #ubuntu-server19:34
escottVespakoen, you would have to be more detailed about how the boot is failing to ascertain if the hybrid is to blame19:35

taninwas wondering why it showed showed flash screen while shutting down19:36

mtmsquick question: is it possible to upgrade from a vanilla Ubuntu 11.10 to a UbuntuStudio 12.04 (beta) without re-installing everything? a link to some how-to would be appreciated too19:38
bitplanesirknight, or even better don't bother and just use "ssh -X" to connect to your virtual host (assuming it's linux)19:38
bitplanethen you can run apps from that distro on your own desktop19:38

VespakoenIs there anything else that could help identifying where it goes wrong?19:39
sirknightALWAY LINUX !..19:39
sirknightbitplane,  huh?19:41
bitplanesirknight, ssh into a box that has X installed using "ssh -X hostname" and you can launch desktop apps19:41
bitplanethey appear locally19:42
dlentzBennlucky7, which video player?19:42
escottVespakoen, not knowing what is happening with the boot i cant say what the hybrid has to do with anything, but your hybrid is a case study in why hybrids suck. your mbr partition shows blank space which a non-gpt aware partition manager would happily report as free, and you can't do anything about it because you can only have one protective gpt partition and it has to be continguous19:42
VespakoenHmz, i see, well i went ahead and recreated the hybrid table, im just going to see what happends, if it doesnt work.. ill try to reinstall completely (ubuntu)19:43
Vespakoenfingers crossed hehe, thanks for the help so far!19:44

GUT-UEFIis booting from the cd  the screan bemoe  violet and then nothing19:50

myutioHans_Henrik- Maybe you can give one user multiple accounts that all share the same directory19:50

agumonkeyHi all19:51
guntbertHans_Henrik: bad idea - rethink your strategy19:51
myutiobitplane- that question is why I only said "maybe"19:51
bitplaneHans, do they need physical access or can it be remote access?19:51
dlentzBennlucky7, you need to run "sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg" to get codec for wma19:52
sirknightguntbert,  i am talking to bitplane, but i am also not sayin his name cause if some one else wants to help,     vbox community is know for there ,, well slow room responses.. unless a new distro comes out ... so this is the worst time to ask19:53
agumonkeyI `sudo make install` something wrongly (LFS archive) , that installed initscripts into /etc/rc* , does apt-get install initscripts would reset them to default ?19:53
Bennlucky7dlentz, The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:19:53

dackyshawnlooks like 32-bit dunno if u can run ubuntu on that or not19:59
SamuraiAlbaI have a Dell Inspiron laptop with a Broadcom 4313 wireless adapter, yet NO HD.  The SATA controller on the board is SHOT and I was wondering if there was any way to incorporate the broadcom drivers in the Live DVD to use the laptop from a USB key for my friend.19:59
dackyshawnSamuraiAlba: u can i believe dunno how tho19:59
dackyshawnu may have to install it everytime tho19:59

AufwindEscherial, What is "at"?20:13
dackyshawnleopold: i think it has more to do with hardware than with the actual cpu20:14
c0mradePyX is used in Python.20:14

morrihi has anyone got a clue about banshee?20:14
dackyshawni think it's about the power management20:14
leopold@ dackyshawn, jepp, and Intel and AMD has two different views on hardware. I think. Like power usage.20:15

SharkMuttleworthdaten: If your hosting company doesn't allow it, it's not possible. Why would you need to re-install? If you're having an issue with particular packages you can always do a complete uninstall of those packages (which removes even the config files) and reinstall them20:40

agumonke1hi back20:43
morrii like the way i had banshee set up..20:43
SharkMuttleworthduncan-nz: No bloody idea. Probably a freedesktop.org iniative I imagine. Makes more sense than putting config in a gnome2 directory, as you could have f-spot but not gnome installed20:44
agumonke1damn can't find any way to `reinstall` ubuntu20:44

SniiSo a new question. I have an ubuntu machine that is just showing slideshows using pygame, so it pretty much only needs to start up x, connect to a wireless network and run the slideshow.

Head11.1023:08
TynachHead, press Ctrl+Alt+F5, and log in. Notice when you put your password in, it will not show little dots or anything - you just have to trust that it is being entered.23:08
Sonic132How long does a partition resize operation take? I want to know if I should just leave this thing running or if it's crashed.23:08
TynachAfter that, Head, type this command: sudo shutdown -h now23:08
BarkingFishHead, are you able to shut the system down from a console or terminal?23:09
ActionParsnipHead: if you run:  sudo shutdown -h now     does it turn off?23:09
BarkingFishah, never mind, been dealt with23:09
spacebug-Tynach: let me check23:09
HeadBarkingFish: through console23:09
Headpress the windows button, and find shutdown in search23:09
Headused to shutdown pc23:09
Headnow only logs out23:10
BarkingFishHave you updated anything since this last worked?23:10
spacebug-oh sorry Tynach, I'm on 12.04 :/23:10
TynachAh, spacebug-, that explains it. I'm on 11.10 still. Plan on moving to 12.04 during this summer :)23:10
spacebug-;)23:10

BarkingFishHead, (sorry, I keep forgetting to address people in here!) - have you updated any of your software (kernel, etc) since this last worked for you?23:12
Headsup I´m back23:14
Headwhat is ctrl+alt_f5?23:14
TynachOk spacebug- and d-bugger, I've tried it in the guest account. Same issue.23:14
Headit turned my screen black23:14
TynachHead, Ctrl+Alt+F5 turns you to a terminal. You can use Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to the user interface. Linux lets you to go multiple terminals (without interface) by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F(number).23:15
TynachTraditionally, they are 1 - 6, with 7 and up being X sessions.23:15
TynachHowever, you should see a login prompt on them - which you can use to type your username and password. It's the same as opening a command line window I guess, but if you log out and then go to one, it's a lot more minimal and should shut down faster than if you're running in a GUI.23:16
Headhmm its a little disturbing23:16
Headbut why doesnt shutdown work anymore through console?23:17
Headany reason ?23:17
BarkingFishHead, (sorry, I keep forgetting to address people in here!) - have you updated any of your software (kernel, etc) since this last worked for you?23:17
Headand logs me out instead?23:17
TynachSo yeah, I suppose it'd be easier (more friendly?) to open a terminal (press windows key, type 'terminal').23:17
BarkingFishI just asked you about that just as you got reset, Head :)23:17
TynachHead, when you say Console, what do you mean? The 'windows key' thing is not a console.23:17
HeadBF: I think I did23:17
Headanyway to retrace?23:18
BarkingFishdo you know what you updated?23:18
Heador return back to original settings?23:18
Headnot sure..23:18
Headcan I restore somehow ?23:18
Al_nz1ActionParsnip: I need teamviwer to run in remote desktop so I can make it accept connections23:18
Al_nz1it doesnt seem to at the moment23:18
BarkingFishI don't know, maybe someone here can sort that for you, Head - sorry23:18
HeadTynach, I press the windows button indeed23:18
Headand type shutdown there23:18
Headand click the shutdown button23:19
Headand then get logged out instead23:19
TynachHead, that's not how you shutdown the computer. That doesn't even work on my end either.23:19
=== irdxafk is now known as irdx
Head@Tynach Through terminal only then ?23:19
TynachHead, are you using Unity?23:19
HeadTynach, what is unity?23:20
Headthe gui interface??23:20
TynachHead, it is the default user interface for Ubuntu 11.04 and Ubuntu 11.10.23:20
PraxiAl_nz1, so you want to RDP to a computer, then run teamviewer from the computer you just remoted to?23:20
TynachIt has one bar at the top, and a thicker bar on the left side. Is that what you have?23:20
Al_nz1Praxi: for 1 teamviewer is faster23:20
HeadTynach, i believe I am23:20
TynachOk.23:20
Al_nz1Praxi 2: vnc is broken - I cant see the desktop properly23:21
PraxiAl_nz1, no, I'm trying to make sure I understand what you want, you want to vnc to a computer, then from that computer you want to teamviewer to a 3rd computer?23:21
TynachHead, try clicking at the little 'gear' icon on the top right corner of your screen. The bottom option (if not, then some option) should say "Shut Down..."23:21
=== Mindwalk is now known as Lipeolive
TynachClick on that, and it will give you 3 options: Shut down, Restart, or Cancel.23:21
Al_nz1Praxi: no - all same computer23:21
TynachClick on 'Shut Down' or 'Restart'.23:21
Headyeh, when I click that, it only logs me out23:22
TynachOk. Then we'll try something new.23:22
Al_nz1Praxi: so far I can vnc in, but cant get the gnome taskbar that allows you to launch applciations23:22
HeadTynach, how do I address a message to you in color red?23:22
Sonic132Is there a way to see whether my partition resize operation is actually ongoing or if it's just crashed?23:23
TynachHead, that's something it does automatically when someone says your name. Every time you say my name, it shows it in red for me.23:23
PraxiAl_nz1, were bouncing all over! :)  teamviewer just runs under wine, so pretty simple.  Make sure you got the right one for your OS (x64 vs x86)23:23
HeadThank you Tynach23:23
cwwangusdjpy23:23
cwwangjoin #usdjpy23:24
TynachHead, hit the Windows key, and type in 'terminal'. Open the terminal, it should be a dark purple background window with something like "user@computername:~$ ". I want you to type, without quotes: "sudo shutdown -h now". Copy and paste it if you want.23:24
Al_nz1Praxi: whats simple? I cant start teamviewer, because I have no access to the icon to start it23:24
Praxifull screen your VNC window23:24
TynachIt will ask you for your password. Type it in. The password will not show on the screen, and it will look like nothing is happening... But type it anyway, and then hit 'Enter'.23:24
bhermzI'm having the same shutdown issue as Head, I can shut down from the terminal23:24
Al_nz1Praxi: done23:24
PraxiAl_nz1, or open a terminal by hitting "CTRL ALT T" and type teamviewer723:24
raggerAnyone else use boxee?23:25
Head@bhermz annoying innit?23:25
Tynachbhermz, have you changed display managers? Like using KDM instead of GDM or LightDM?23:25
Al_nz1Praxi: how do you send "CTRL-ALT-T" over VNC?23:25
HeadTynach I know this command23:25
HeadTynach, it works Iḿ sure of that23:25
HeadTynach ;)23:26
bhermzNope, I've been using LightDM (no change). I hit shutdown from the desktop and it logs me out. I try shutting down then from LightDM and it doesn't do anything23:26
Sonic132Disregard last question. Operation finally completed.23:26
PraxiAl_nz1, thats dependant on your VNC client, I suggest you try Remmina, it has a easy mode button at top for sending keys23:26
PraxiAl_nz1, are you useing VNC from another linux box?23:27
Al_nz1Praxi: no windows23:27
Tynachbhermz, have you installed any server software lately?23:27
Praxiwhat VNC client are you using Al_nz123:27
bhermzactually yes, tomcat. That may be related?23:27
Tynachbhermz, I have no idea. I'm pulling at straws here. But it might be worth checking out - did you install from the repositories, or some other way?23:28
Al_nz1got ultravnc and realvnc23:28
Sonic132What's the recommended swap size again? Given that we have about 4GB of RAM?23:28
Sonic132Or do I even need a swap partition?23:28
bhermzthe repositories. And, come to think of it, I haven't tried shutting it down when logging out.23:29
ActionParsnipSonic132: do you need hibernate?23:29
PraxiAl_nz1, http://www.uvnc.com/install/usage.html  <--"Send Custom Key"23:29
SaRSAeOLSonic132: standard swap is same size as RAM23:29
TynachSonic132, a lot of people recommend twice as much SWAP as your RAM amount. But I personally don't do that, I just do equal or half.23:29
bhermzI'll try that and let you know if it works.. thanks for the suggestion Tynach23:30
Sonic132ActionParsnip, Sleep would be nice. But not necessary. But Hibernate? No. I don't see us ever using that. Would it still allow Windows style 'Switch User' functionality?23:30
ApteryxHi! A friend of mine lost the wireless support when she tried updating her Ubuntu 11.10 system lately. I've detailed in a mail (she's travelling) what I would check. 1) ubuntu-desktop metapackage is installed. 2) linux-firmware package is installed 3) iwconfig shows a wlan0 entry23:30
SaRSAeOLSonic132: olden days swap was twice ram23:30
PraxiAl_nz1, When SCROLL-LOCK is activated, all key combinations (except CTRL+ALT+DEL) are directly sent to the remote computer:23:30
Apteryxany other ideas?23:30
ActionParsnipSonic132: if you need Hibernate I'd use 4.25Gb for swap, if not then don't bother23:30
ActionParsnipApteryx: what wireless chip?23:30
Sonic132GB=Gib?23:30
Apteryxby the way I first told her to install all the latest updates using an Ethernet cable, which she did, but it didn't solve her issues.23:30
Al_nz1Praxi: your a LEGEND!23:31
TynachSonic132, GiB means that it uses numbers like 1024, and GB means it uses numbers like 1000.23:31
Sonic132Also, thanks for all the helpful responses on that one.23:31
Al_nz1I got teamviewer running23:31
Sonic132Tynach, I see.23:31
TynachSonic132, I'd say if you don't want hibernate, just use 2 or 3 GB. That's my personal preference - as I have small hard drives, and every GB counts.23:31
ApteryxActionParsnip: I don't know yet. After my step 3 I tell her to check using "lspci" and then issue a search on google to find the corresponding linux kernel module... and once she got that she can verify the module is loaded using "lsmod"23:31
d-buggerSonic132: other than for hibernation, linux works fine without any swap too23:31
ApteryxActionParsnip: I'll mail this to her and she will get back to me with the results23:32
ApteryxActionParsnip: Does my guidance seem alright or is it missing something important. She lost the wireless icon and says it's not configurable (not present) in the system settings either, which made me believe it was a linux driver issue.23:33
Sonic132I thought so. I installed Linux before without swap and was pleasantly surprised that it seemed to work fine.23:33
Praxinice Al_nz123:33
ActionParsnipApteryx: sudo lshw -C network     will tell you a lot23:33
Al_nz1Praxi: dissapointly even teamvieer is not rendering gnome well23:34
PraxiIs the resolution too small Al_nz1?23:34
Al_nz1Praxi: team viewer scales23:34
PraxiAl_nz1, if your running headless (without a monitor) it defaults the resolution to some default minimum23:34
ApteryxActionParsnip: but will she get output if the driver module isn't loaded?23:35
PraxiAl_nz1, are you running headless?23:35
mfilipeubuntu one for precise pangolin won't have contacts sync?23:35
TynachAl_nz1, you may want to disable compiz/desktop effects when you use VNC or TeamViewer. So, go to Unity 2D or Gnome Classic.23:35
ApteryxActionParsnip: I was under the impression that no, that's why I used the "lspci" command instead.23:35
Apteryxto troubleshoot23:35
Al_nz1Tynach: can I change that globally via CLI?23:36
TynachAl_nz1, I have no idea.23:36

TynachAl_nz1, sorry for being away. I have experience with IPtables, but I would HIGHLY recommend you instead use ufw. It's command-line based, and much easier to understand/setup.23:44
Sonic132Bootloader has to be on the same HDD as Windows when Dualbooting correct?23:44

TynachAl_nz1, I'm fine with PMs :)23:45
i7cSonic132: mhm i have grub on sda together with linux mint and win7 on sdb.... it works. can't swear for you tho23:46
Aerielanyone is experiencing problems with ssh connections???23:46
TynachSonic132, I believe it 'installs' it to /boot within your root partition, but installs the necessary actual boot stuff to the MBR - which isn't any particular partition at all.23:46
Sonic132Tynach, Oh ok. That sounds right. Also, was thinking of installing to the same partition as linux.23:47
TynachSonic132, well, /boot will be in your Linux partition, naturally ;)23:47
Aerieli've set up my client(ubuntu) to use protocol 223:47
Aerieland it doesnt recognize my  server ecdsa fingerprint23:48
i7cSonic132: are those sata hds?23:48

Aerieli've searched everything23:48
Sonic132i7c, I believe so. It's my Dads computer ;)23:48
Aerieland nothing helped23:48
Sonic132i7c, Oh yeah. It's all SATA I think.23:48
i7cSonic132: i'm not sure about that, but for me it worked to simply set the boot order that way, that grub is on the first one...23:48
Sonic132i7c, Well at Tynach was saying. It's installed on the MBR so it's not technically on a partion. So the boot order shouldn't matter correct?23:49
TynachSonic132, only one partition can even be marked as 'bootable'. With Grub, I've found that it largely doesn't matter which partition that is. There's no such thing as a 'boot order', except to list what order OSes appear in the Grub menu.23:50
i7cSonic132: mhm i always thought MBR is the beginning of a HD... so it's not on a partition but definitely on one or the other HD ;)23:50
Sonic132I'23:50
i7cSonic132: oh now i get it. you only have one physical HD...23:51
Sonic132I'm a bit confused now.23:51
Sonic132i7c, No we have two physical HDs and several external.23:51
TynachSonic132, you should install GRUB to the hard drive that has Linux on it. Hard drives and partitions are VERY different beasts.23:52
Sonic132i7c, I want to install Linux on one HDD and Windows can have one all by itself.23:52
i7cSonic132: okay i get it now. then it should work just like Tynach said right now :)23:52
Sonic132So sdb instead of sdb1 correct?23:53
i7cSonic132: yeh.23:53
