[00:00] <hylian> nopolitica, i am confused b your question, could you restate that?
[00:00] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: so then I wont ask how to install OO. I downloaded it and am not to sure what to do with it. Guess I can just delete it. :)
[00:01] <kjs> What version of python is in ubuntu 12.04
[00:01] <kjs> ?
[00:01] <nopolitica> hylian: whenever i listen to music via browser or watching videos, is it possible to use some util like netstat to find correct urls? :)
[00:01] <hylian> nopolitica, I don't know. I don't mess much with media.
[00:02] <trism> !info python precise | kjs
[00:02] <trism> kjs: actually python2.7 is probably more accurate, 2.7.3~rc2-2ubuntu1
[00:02] <kjs> sweet
[00:03] <kjs> If i install beta can I upgrade to stable as it's released?
[00:03] <hylian> does anyone know if you can get the true urls for audio and video streams, nopolitica wants to know
[00:03] <dax> !final | kjs
[00:03] <Kexildrad> I'm having a problem compiling a program that uses ImageMagick libraries
[00:03] <nopolitica> kjs: if you're not sure, then you can't ;)
[00:03] <Kexildrad> I'm using the Magick++-config tool to generate the compiler flags
[00:04] <Kexildrad> to wit
[00:04] <Kexildrad> `Magick++-config --cppflags --ldflags` as an argument to g++
[00:04] <Kexildrad> but I still get ex. undefined reference to `Magick::
[00:05] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: when I do a 'cd $HOME' it still takes me to ~. Are the the same?
[00:05] <Kexildrad> the program is definitely spitting out -lMagick++ -lMagickCore and so forth
[00:05] <Kexildrad> so I'm not sure what's going on here
[00:05] <Kexildrad> I have ImageMagick installed and this compiles on another system
[00:06] <nopolitica> scott_z: ~ is a shortcut for home
[00:06] <trism> Kexildrad: make sure you add the ldflags after the code files: g++ $CFLAGS code1.o ... $LDFLAGS
[00:06] <thirst> how do i install nvidia drivers on 11.0 - "apt-get install nvidia-glx" that package doesnt seem to exist, am i missing an apt-source ?
[00:07] <scott_z> before I go thru all of this is there any real advantage to moving to a 64 bit system that I will notice?
[00:07] <mouth1> how can i change the default color from orange to blue?
[00:08] <Kexildrad> trism, that did it, thanks
[00:12]  * irbinix is away: Gone away for now
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: yes ~ is just a shorthand
[00:16] <ejv> where's ubuntu console font conf's located
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: more RAM is accessible, you will see a benefit with audio and video encoding, for normal desktop use you won't see much
[00:16] <ejv> im plugged into an old crt vga monitor, into an even older p4, need to change this horrid font
[00:17] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: I have 4g of ram and I DO do a lot of video encoding. Would it be worth it?
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: definately worth it
[00:18] <songxk> the Gnome of 12.04 is so coll
[00:18] <songxk> so coll
[00:20] <jerry1680> hello
[00:20] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: 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] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: emerald is very dead
[00:21] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: thanks for the 64bit advice. I will save that for the weekend.
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: its not been developed for AGES
[00:21] <jerry1680> I have a question about running ubuntu wubi... I have a compaq cq-56 115dx and it gets very hot when running ubuntu latest release
[00:21] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: Then how can I get emerald out of my available packages and can you recommend a theme manager?
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: get the 0.0.5 from here  http://cgit.compiz.org/fusion/decorators/emerald/
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2012/01/install-emerald-theme-manager-on-ubuntu.html
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: seems its in this ppa

[00:26] <Steven> Hi im a new linux user (ubuntu), and i'm in need of some help here in watching youtube videos. Everytime i try to watch a vid only a solid black screen appears?
[00:27] <Laiam> have you installed flash player yet?
[00:27] <mars__> yes
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> Steven: can you use http://pastie.org and give the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[00:28] <mars__> hao do  you do
[00:28] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: Thanks for all your help. I cant wait till I have  at least a little more knowledge so that I can give back some of this help. thanks again.
[00:29] <oktokt> If I update my hosts file ( /etc/hosts ), do I need to refresh anything to get it to read? Or does that file get called on the use?
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> oktokt: no, its ready to go
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> oktokt: its read each time a resolution is needed
[00:29] <oktokt> ActionParsnip: Thought so... Thanks.
[00:29] <Steven> Alright ActionParsnip but how do you give the output? do you access the terminal to show it?
[00:30] <mars__> 有说中文的吗？
[00:30] <dax> mars__: #ubuntu is English-language only. For Chinese, try #ubuntu-cn.
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Steven: use http://pastie.org to host the text
[00:31] <Laiam> Steven: use the terminal for running the command
[00:31] <Steven> oh okay then
[00:34] <Steven> okay here ActionParsnip http://pastie.org/3758996 im i doing this right lol?
[00:37] <xangua> is 10.10 already eol¿
[00:37] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: I checked out all the links you gave me and am unsure why the last one? 'https://launchpad.net/~nilarimogard/+archive/webupd8?field.series_filter=oneiric'?
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: add the ppa and you can install emerald from there
[00:41] <craigbass1976> Anyone know how I can stream audio from one computer and have it play on another box somewhere on the LAN?
[00:41] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: will do. Would this be right 'sudo apt-get install emerald'? remeber I am a newbie and dont want to sound stupid. I do know how to add the ppa though.
[00:41] <Steven> ActionParsnip i've pasted the output here http://pastie.org/3758996
[00:41] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: did not see emerald on the list though
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> Steven: sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flash-properties-gtk adobe-flash-properties-kde adobe-flash-plugin; sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

[00:46]  * ActionParsnip shrugs
[00:46] <Steven> okay then thankyou so do I copy/paste one by one or all of it? (i know this sounds silly but just to be sure!)
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> Steven: all one command :)
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> Steven: basically it removes ALL flash, then installs the package you want
[00:48] <Lirth1> Is there anyone good with surround sound? I'm having some problems getting 7.1 to work (5.1 works, and the same headset works correctly in 7.1 on another computer)
[00:49] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: Sorry should have looked past the maintained list.
[00:51] <bfedoralinux> is there any admin that could do a password reset?
[00:51] <Steven> Allright then! Well i just run the command and once thats finished do i go on youtube to try it ? or do i have to resatrt firefox to get it goin?
[00:52] <Steven> restart*
[00:52] <bfedoralinux> does anyone use vmware?
[00:52] <guest____> What are the risks of running as root 100% of the time?
[00:52] <bfedoralinux> your operating system becomes an easy target to exploit
[00:53] <guest____> how so?
[00:53] <bfedoralinux> someone attacks a piece of software running as the root and compromises it
[00:53] <bfedoralinux> they have access to the whole system
[00:54]  * irbinix is away: Gone away for now
[00:54] <akem> guest____, you could break stuff inadvertly / some programs might simply refuse to run as root.
[00:54] <bfedoralinux> running as an unprivileged user gives you protection and safety knowing they only mess up that user's system.
[00:54] <bfedoralinux> You should not need to use root all the time
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> guest____: web facing apps unecesarily running as root are a security risk
[00:55] <bfedoralinux> has anyone used VMware?
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> guest____: account can be attacked as it is enabled, rather than being disabled giving zero chance
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> bfedoralinux: I'm sure many do
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> guest____: no accountability of control of whom can do what on the system
[00:55] <guest____> I am the only one on the system
[00:55] <guest____> No one else will have physical access
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> guest____: ok that's reduced but its still bad practice
[00:56] <guest____> Completely foolish? Or just slightly foolish?
[00:56] <bfedoralinux> I was wondering or lab manager wants to create a clone of the linux os I have installed on two desktops one is Ubuntu and one is Fedora both have Nvidia driver installed and he wants to run it on the sever and allow the client to choose which o/s they want to boot.  would having Nvidia drivers installed be an issue.  Would I have to remove them?
[00:56] <bfedoralinux> ** our lab manager
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> guest____: very foolish, not completely
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> bfedoralinux: i'd remove them if you are doing a p2v
[00:58] <bfedoralinux> they are telling me I dont have to. what issues would they run into
[00:58] <bfedoralinux> if I did not?
[01:00] <bfedoralinux> Action?
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> bfedoralinux: its just one less complication
[01:01] <bfedoralinux> so they could handle the issues if i did not
[01:01] <_Tristan> nm-applet shit the bed and I now need to delete all of it's settings. Where are those files?
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> bfedoralinux: sure just boot to root recovery mode and uninstall it
[01:01] <bfedoralinux> the sever supposedly has Intel graphics set
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> _Tristan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1043039

[01:22] <ksbalaji> in 11.4 LTS I now have problem. My update manager freezes computer while opening.
[01:33] <SomethingElse> Hey All..
[01:33] <SomethingElse> I'm back with another stupid problem.. Yay!..
[01:34] <Boohbah> SomethingElse: what is it?
[01:35] <SomethingElse> So, yesterday I enlarged my raid 5 from 11TB to 12TB.. But for some reason Ubuntu only sees 8TBs now.. even though the raid manager says its 12..
[01:36] <SomethingElse> when it was 11TBs it saw it no prob.. But now I'm scared to copy anything to it since its not reading right...
[01:41] <SomethingElse> Guess I'll have to try again later...
[01:42] <scientes_> hjow do i get a list of non-default packages
[01:42] <scientes_> im using !~M !~prequired !~pimportant !~pstandard
[01:42] <scientes_> but that isn't good enough
[01:42] <scientes_> how do i do everything ubuntu-desktop requires (inc indirectly)
[01:43] <thelifelessone> Hi, how do I change my systems hostname?
[01:43] <scientes_> thelifelessone, /etc/hostname
[01:43] <thelifelessone> scientes_: Is that the only file?
[01:43] <scientes_> thelifelessone, and the you have to immediately log off and in, otherwise sudo will stop working
[01:43] <scientes_> thelifelessone, on debian/ubuntu, yes
[01:43] <thelifelessone> Ok, thank you.
[01:43] <scientes_> also /etc/mailname if you have a mail server
[01:44] <scientes_> oh, and /etc/hosts
[01:44] <thelifelessone> Ok
[01:44] <scientes_> make sure your host resolves in /etc/hosts for some server software
[01:44] <thelifelessone> Thanks
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> thelifelessone: you'll also need to change /etc/hosts too
[01:44] <Pici> !hostname
[01:44] <thelifelessone> Got it changed. Thank you. Going to relog now. :)
[01:46] <Wingede> is there any solution in regards to segault in libglib-2.0 from gnome-shell ?
[01:47] <scientes_> !backtrace | Wingede
[01:48] <scientes_> Wingede, after you get a backtrace check launchpad and gnome bugzilla for your problem
[01:48] <scientes_> or with gnome-shell, just go straight to gnome bugzilla Wingede
[01:50] <Wingede> scientes_: thanks for that
[01:50] <scientes_> Wingede, those instructions look overly complicated
[01:51] <scientes_> its generally just, install the -dbg package; gdb program; and then in gdb: run, and after it crashes: bt
[01:51] <scientes_> and if you get too many ?? in critical stuff, install the -dbg as approiate
[01:52] <Wingede> scientes_: it's ok they make sense - i've seen this bug reported previously - was hoping there was progress
[01:52] <scientes_> ahh sorry
[01:52] <sparky-> scientes_: even that is pushing it.  they should just accept core file and be done with :-)
[01:53] <scientes_> sparky-, i guess you can use server-side resolving of symbols, yeag
[01:53] <scientes_> sparky-, is there a web site i can paste in backtraces to have them resolved?
[01:53] <thriller> hey guys im pretty new to ubuntu and i need some help figuring out why my nvidia driver will not install right
[01:53] <scientes_> cause i've had embedded platoforms that i couldn't debug cause i couldn't fit the -dbg packages
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> thriller: what nvidia chip do you have and is it a dual gpu (switchable)?
[01:54] <sparky-> scientes_: i don't know of one, but usually that's how we'd do debugging with vendors anyway
[01:54] <BryanRuiz1> how can i tell if ubuntu is 32 bit or 64 bit?
[01:54] <scientes_> sparky-, supposedly fedora manages to get way smaller debug packages
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> BryanRuiz1: uname -m
[01:54] <_Tristan> When I enable connection sharing on my wireless connection, it tries to share it over a hotspot instead of sharing it over my ethernet port. Any ideas on how to fix this?
[01:54] <cyfi> Congrats Whitney Houston! 8 weeks sober today!
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> BryanRuiz1: i686 == 32bit    x86-^4 == 64bit
[01:55] <BryanRuiz1> thanks ActionParsnip.. now to remmebr that
[01:55] <thriller> it is a n250gts im pretty sure its a single chip
[01:55] <sparky-> bryanruiz1: uname -a; check for x86_64 ... maybe look for int size if not on x86
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> thriller: then run:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-current    and it will install
[01:56] <thriller> Action parsnip: thanks
[01:56] <sparky-> scientes_: yes, and fedora also uses delta rpm's to reduce download size.  ubuntu should look into that.  real nice feature.
[01:57] <Lawndart> I just have a general question about the beta release of 12.04, if I install the beta will I have to download it again once the final release is available, or can the beta be upgraded to final online just by updating it? TIA.
[01:57] <ActionParsnip> Lawndart: all beta questions in #ubuntu+1 please
[01:58] <Lawndart> ok, thanks. didn't know I was in the wrong place.
[01:58] <CAZ_au> Im 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_au> 1) 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_au> 2) 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] <thriller> ActionParsnip: how come i lost my second monitor when i installed that?
[01:59] <sparky-> caz_au: there's no need to keep those downloaded packages around ... unless they're something real special (doubt it)
[01:59] <scientes_> gd connection problems
[01:59] <scientes_> apt-get clean baby
[02:00] <scientes_> _Tristan, you get your q answered?
[02:00] <scientes_> i answered but i got digconection
[02:00] <sparky-> caz_au: the one advantage of backup/reinstall on ubuntu is it will be faster :-)  i'm looking at 2+ hours upgrading my system, while a fresh install would take significantly less time to get back up and running.
[02:00] <_Tristan> scientes_: No, not answered, unless I missed it
[02:00] <scientes_> sparky-, it wont make it faster
[02:00] <scientes_> _Tristan, the share is the one to share ON, not the one to share
 _Tristan, windows does it the same way, they just show the GUI differn't so it makes some configurations harder
[02:00] <scientes_> Bry8Star, uname -m
[02:00] <_Tristan> so I should set my ethernet connection to be shared?
[02:01] <sparky-> scientes_: not "run faster" but "complete faster"
[02:01] <scientes_> _Tristan, select the interface you want to share on
[02:01] <sparky-> scientes_: sorry about the unclear meaning of "faster"
[02:01] <scientes_> sparky-, not really, cause you can use it while upgrading the dpkg way
[02:01] <_Tristan> scientes_: ILU
[02:01] <_Tristan> thanksbye.
[02:02] <CAZ_au> sparky-: 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_au> its 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 anyway
[02:04] <scientes_> CAZ_au, all you have to do is apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-current
[02:04] <scientes_> sparky-, WRONG
[02:04] <scientes_> CAZ_au, and you dont even need to do that, if you dont have the deb still
[02:04] <scientes_> dkms should deal with it
[02:05] <scientes_> also, i use apt-cacher-ng
[02:07] <CAZ_au> okay, thanks guys. i guess i can also scap any updates my friend downloads from his APT cache as he is also installing Ubuntu 11.10 64bit today aswell.
[02:08] <bretzel> Hello, just installed Ubuntu 12.04 (b2) and... wow, I was away from it since 2-3 years. But the new Unity mixed with gtk3/gnome3 is just awesome! Congrats to Ubuntu dev. !
[02:08] <scientes_> CAZ_au, apt-cacher-ng is highly recommended

[02:08] <sanitypassing> Hi, I'm having an issue with my mouse. It's double-clicking when it shouldn't be. Is there any kind of fix for this?
[02:08] <thriller> dose anyone know why when i installed my nvidia driver i lost my second monitor?
[02:08] <scientes_> if you have more than one ubuntu comp on the network
[02:08] <scientes_> sanitypassing, troubleshoot with xev and evtest
[02:08] <dustinspringman> i've installed 12.04, running very well.. however, I am trying to install the package: gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme, it fails with the following: The following packages have unmet dependencies:

[02:08] <dustinspringman> E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. | is this because I've on the beta and the package hasn't yet been moved out of incoming or am I doing something wrong?
[02:08] <bretzel> xangua: uh ... okay thanks :-)
[02:08] <sanitypassing> scientes_: Ok, how do I do that?
[02:09] <scientes_> sanitypassing, run xev in the terminal
[02:09] <dustinspringman> sorry about the multi-lines, thought I killed those before I hit enter..
[02:09] <xangua> dustinspringman: #ubunrtu+1 for pangolin jum
[02:09] <xangua> #ubuntu+1
[02:09] <_Tristan> scientes_: computer #2 can connect but no internet access
[02:09] <scientes_> sanitypassing, also there is a slider of sorts in system-settings-->mouse
[02:09] <dustinspringman> xangua: thanks
[02:09] <sanitypassing> scientes_: I saw that. It's as far as it'll go.
[02:09] <scientes_> _Tristan, paste; "ip route" and "ip addr" of the client
[02:10] <scientes_> sanitypassing, yeah, then xev and evtest are the canonical troubleshooters
[02:10] <sanitypassing> ok
[02:11] <KarmaComa> Hello, I basically had Kubuntu 12.04 installed from scratch, and yesterday I opened muon and installed gnome, when I'm logged-in in gnome3 and I make a restart order it freezes at some point while the screen of Kubuntu and the blinking dots is on, any help please why I can't restart my computer
[02:12] <TheNexT> TechXplorer, are you using ubuntu?
[02:12] <xangua> KarmaComa: #ubuntu+1 for pangolin...
[02:12] <CAZ_au> scientes_:  "A caching proxy. Specialized for package files from Linux distributors, primarily for Debian (and Debian based)"   -  dosnt look all that useful to me?
[02:12] <KarmaComa> xangua: sorry?
[02:12] <sanitypassing> yeah, the output from evtest definitely confirms it's clicking more than it should be

[02:14] <mkultra_> i use gdm and i run xfce
[02:14] <mkultra_> lightdm's coming along nicely

[02:16] <scientes_> that stuff is annoying
[02:17] <scientes_> is there a package i can remove to get rid of branding?
[02:21] <Hoyt> hi , is it safe to use 12.04 beta2 now ?
[02:22] <mkultra_> if you can use 11.10 id say you'd be safe
[02:22] <Hoyt> I have a Dual Core Intel CPU , can I use 64bit: ubuntu-12.04-beta2-alternate-amd64+mac.iso ?
[02:22] <mkultra_> for me, they are both about equally buggy on my drivers
[02:23] <mkultra_> i think so hoyt
[02:23] <Hoyt> okay
[02:24] <_Tristan1> scientes_: finally got the. IP: 10.42.43.32 route 10.42.43.1
[02:24] <c_smith> is it possible to mount an Android Media Server app on an Android device in Ubuntu?
[02:25] <ActionParsnip> Hoyt: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Precise support please
[02:25] <mkultra_> id look for a android transfer program
[02:25] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: what are you wanting to achieve?
[02:26] <c_smith> ActionParsnip, use of my Android device's media server app.
[02:26] <c_smith> on Ubuntu, of course
[02:26] <mkultra_> like remote?
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: so your androiid device is sharing some files?
[02:26] <c_smith> media files.
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: how would you connect from Ubuntu>#
[02:27] <mkultra_> id mount the drive, then move files to it like that if possible
[02:27] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: and what version of Android and what handset?
[02:27] <c_smith> no clue, I've seen a buddy's Windows Media Player utilized these files remotely.
[02:27] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: is it bluetooth or over USB?
[02:27] <c_smith> ActionParsnip, Acer Iconia Tab A100 with the testing build of 4.0
[02:28] <c_smith> ActionParsnip, over network.
[02:28] <mkultra_> this is like sherades
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: what happened to 'no clue' then?
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: when you know it's over the network?
[02:28] <c_smith> ActionParsnip, as in I'm not sure how Windows media player is picking this up (protocol), I just know it's over the network.
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: what service did you install to get the files shared?
[02:29] <c_smith> ActionParsnip, It's the default Media Server app that is activated in settings.
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> mkultra_: charades ;)
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: ok let me search..
[02:29] <mkultra_> fuck it im a r tard
[02:29] <bazhang> mkultra_, stop the cursing
[02:30] <c_smith> ActionParsnip, I'm currently googling this myself.
[02:30] <mkultra_> sorry i have turrets too
[02:30] <Boogerhead> Kind folks, I've got Gnome classic on 12.04b2. In the network connection thing, most of the wireless routers I see are grayed out -- any idea?
[02:31] <bazhang> Boogerhead, #ubuntu+1 for that
[02:31] <_Tristan1> nm-applet connects and disconnects so often that it's killing my computer via notificationspam. I've tried disabling notifications but it does nothing. Help?
[02:31] <Boogerhead> @bazhang, thanks
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> Boogerhead: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Precise support please
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: sounds like its setting itself up as a uPnP share
[02:34] <ejv> !list
[02:34] <c_smith> yep, After finding a copy of the manual and reading it, I can safely say that is true.
[02:34] <ejv> sigh
[02:34] <ejv> !listserve
[02:34] <c_smith> ActionParsnip, is there a way to mount those?
[02:34] <ejv> stupid b ot
[02:34] <bazhang> ejv, /msg ubottu please
[02:34] <ejv> is there a general ubuntu listserve
[02:34] <pangolin> ejv, the bot is not stupid. it is replying with the info it knows
[02:34] <ejv> yes it *is*
[02:34] <bazhang> ejv, whats a listserve
[02:34] <ejv> something old people like me use lol
[02:35] <pangolin> !alis
[02:35] <ejv> there's ubuntu-announce, ubuntu-devel, etc. but im looking for a general user one
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: you don't mount it, you connect to it with a media device. If you want to mount it I suggest you install a samba server in the phone and share a folder. It will show up as a Windows share and you can mount it
[02:35] <bazhang> ejv, #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:35] <mkultra_> my vintage 1970's flashlight rules
[02:36] <bazhang> !ot | mkultra_
[02:36] <ejv> it's related to ubuntu
[02:36] <c_smith> ActionParsnip, Looks like connecting to it is what I intend to achieve, is Rhythmbox capable of this?
[02:36] <ejv> nvm, i found it
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: should be, not sure. I don't use it
[02:36] <ejv> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/
[02:36] <wylde> c_smith, ActionParsnip there's always djmount. It mounts upnp shares as a local FS using FUSE.
[02:37] <ejv> fyi ;)
[02:37] <wylde> !info djmount
[02:39] <AcidRain2012> how do i properly kill a file operations copy
[02:39] <AcidRain2012> when i click the cancel, or the x. it goes away. but then when i try to transfer it again, it starts back where it left off, locked up
[02:40] <FreezingCold> Are there any free ubuntu ssh servers out there?
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> AcidRain2012: could try pressing ALT+F2 and run:  xkill
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> FreezingCold: openssh-server
[02:41] <FreezingCold> ActionParsnip: ...yeah no
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> FreezingCold: most apps in the repos is free
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> FreezingCold: what does '...yeah no'  mean??
[02:42] <wylde> FreezingCold: are you meaning a free ubuntu shell account? Or your own ssh server?
[02:42] <ejv> dropbear is quite nice FreezingCold
[02:42] <FreezingCold> wylde: Shell
[02:42] <wylde> FreezingCold: I thought so, just wanted to clarify. Thanks.
[02:44] <giiker> FreezingCold: I used to use this one: http://sdf.org/?join
[02:45] <naggu> I have currently only ubuntu beta2 installed, once live version comes do I have to reformat and install all over again?
[02:45] <FreezingCold> giiker: Can I do reverse ssh tunnels with it?
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> naggu: #ubuntu+1 please
[02:46] <giiker> FreezingCold: hmmm, never tried it, but I don't  think so.
[02:49] <sparky-> freezingcold: reverse ssh tunnels?  for what purpose?  why not use tor or some other anonymizer then?
[02:53] <nbros652> FreezingCold: what are you attempting to accomplish?
[02:54] <scientes__> FreezingCold, a SOCKS 5 is probably what you want
[02:54] <FreezingCold> scientes__: dunno
[02:54] <scientes__> FreezingCold, google it
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> FreezingCold: well if you dunno, how can we help....
[02:55] <scientes__> if you just want to be annonymous, welll i could do a whole essay on that
[02:55] <scientes__> but tor is good
[02:55] <scientes__> also: firefox+adblockplus (easylist, antisocial)+refcontrol+cslite+many many more
[02:56] <giiker> FreezingCold: for annonymity, start with a Live CD first, i'd say...
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> scientes__: plus a long list of bad sites resolving to localhost :)
[02:59] <scientes__> ActionParsnip, adblockplus does that for you
[02:59] <scientes__> (in firefox)
[02:59] <giiker> ActionParsnip: "localhost is home" :)
[02:59] <scientes__> and much faster
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> scientes__: i don't use firefox, I cat a list of addresses after each new install. Works well
[03:02] <scientes__> ActionParsnip, ubuntu also dropped the xul-ext-adblockplus package
[03:02] <scientes__> which still exists in debian
[03:03] <scientes__> ActionParsnip, do you know why ubuntu started statically linking libxul in xulrunner/mozilla packages?
[03:03] <scientes__> or at least not using the same libxul across firefox+thunderbird
[03:03] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: Seems that my libavcodec is lacking MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3. Any ideas how to fix this?
[03:03] <Drecondius> Has anyone had an issue where Ubuntu would not install on their rig but will install in a VM?
[03:04] <GridCube> nope
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> scientes__: no idea, I don't pay much attentio to anything mozilla makes tbh
[03:05] <scientes__> why does this program quit when i ltrace it?
[03:05] <scientes__> +++ killed by SIGTRAP +++
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:06] <scientes__> ActionParsnip, oh, chromium also has adblockplus
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> scientes__: I already have the functionality, works in any OS too :)
[03:07] <Drecondius> The live installer keeps hanging when detecting my hdds, won't boot into live mode or text based install
[03:07] <edward__> why wont upstart use the sleep binary? it just ignores it in my script
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> Drecondius: did yuo MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[03:08] <Drecondius> md5, sha1
[03:08] <Drecondius> iso's good
[03:08] <scientes__> +++ killed by SIGTRAP +++
[03:08] <scientes__> what is this
[03:08] <Drecondius> all 3 of em
[03:08] <edward__> IT'S A TRAP
[03:08] <scientes__> edward__, not quite
[03:09] <scientes__> its preventing me from debugging xbmc (with ltrace_
[03:09] <scientes__> when i connect xbmc just SIGTRAP, and dies
[03:09] <Drecondius> At first I thought it was bc of x64 but no, the x86 iso does it as well
[03:09] <scientes__> Drecondius, but it boots and runs fine?
[03:10] <Drecondius> in a vm
[03:10] <scientes__> oh wait, u said it doesn't
[03:10] <scientes__> Drecondius, hit esc on the livecd, and maybe remove "quiet" (hit tab)
[03:10] <scientes__> to see the kernel's output
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> Drecondius: are yuo using a CD or a USB stick?
[03:11] <scientes__> you hit tab on the early screen, and esc right after that when you get the flash screen
[03:11] <james-ubc> sup guys, im running gnome 3 and trying to switch a gnome shell theme using gnome tweak tool
[03:11] <Drecondius> both
[03:11] <Drecondius> same issue
[03:11] <james-ubc> and it's not working
[03:12] <scientes__> james-ubc, the ubuntu's appearance menu in system-settings might be overriding it
[03:12] <Drecondius> tried opensuse 12.1, fedora 13,14,15, ubuntu, kubuntu
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> Drecondius: so you are installing into a VM?
[03:12] <scientes__> Drecondius, and none of them work?
[03:12] <Drecondius> i have it installed in a vm right now
[03:12] <comgen> Drecondius : give this a try, disable SMART under the bios, also check drive for damage/error using mhdd, spinrite or OEM disk Util
[03:12] <Drecondius> they install fine in the vm
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> Drecondius: did you test your system RAM using the install media?
[03:13] <james-ubc> scientes__, how would i fix that?
[03:13] <scientes__> Drecondius, also turn on AHCI mode in bios, and turn off ......IDE in BIOS
[03:13] <Drecondius> yarp
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> Drecondius: have you set the BIOS to failsafe defaults
[03:13] <Drecondius> clean as a whistle
[03:13] <scientes__> james-ubc, just change it in the appearance menu
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> Drecondius: do you have the latest BIOS?
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> Drecondius: if no Linux boots, I'd look at the hardware
[03:13] <Drecondius> afaik
[03:13] <scientes__> Drecondius, but looking at the boot messages is far clearer
[03:13] <scientes__> *clean
[03:14] <rafi>  hi guy i just want to ask a question if you can help me thank you . i have download 12.04 unbuntu i have 2 screens so one of them not working and it does not detect or displays 2 screen if you can help me thank you
[03:14] <Drecondius> i'll give a more verbose mode a go and report back
[03:14] <wylde> !precise | rafi
[03:15] <zjo> maybe a dumb question, but i have my cpu overclocked currently in windows .. if i download / install ubuntu, will it be overclocked there as well
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> zjo: if you clocked it in BIOS, then it will be the same in any OS
[03:16] <zjo> right
[03:16] <zjo> okay
[03:16] <phong_> I have an internal DNS server set up. I want to set up dd-wrt so that when some one is getting an IP address via DHCP that it gives them the internal DNS server's IP address as their DNS server. How would this be done?
[03:17] <phong_> I have an internal DNS server set up. I want to set up dd-wrt so that when some one is getting an IP address via DHCP that it gives them the internal DNS server's IP address as their DNS server. How would this be done?
[03:17] <scientes__> zjo, and when you get linux, use lm-sensors to check your temps
[03:17] <comgen> Under DD-WRT LAN DNS set it to the local DNS IP
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> phong_: you can set interfaces to DHCP for address only, then manually set the DNS servers yourself
[03:17] <rafi> ubottu: thank you
[03:18] <phong_> ActionParsnip, oh man
[03:18] <zjo> scientes_: is lm-sensors just for ubuntu? i was trying to decide between linux mint and ubuntu
[03:18] <phong_> can't it get with the dhcp ?
[03:18] <phong_> i just hate to manually assign dns server
[03:18] <IgnotusP> i need help
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> phong_: sure, set your DHCP server to give out the details if possible
[03:19] <wylde> IgnotusP: !help
[03:19] <phong_> i want it to give to client automatic inteald of me fill it in
[03:19] <IgnotusP> !help
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> phong_: then configure your DHCP server
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> phong_: what OS is the DHCP server running?
[03:19] <phong_> winodws 2008 server
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> phong_: then it's not an Ubuntu issue.
[03:19] <IgnotusP> i installed network-manager-openvpn, but it doesnt show up id vpn connections
[03:19] <phong_> actually router
[03:19] <phong_> dhcp is from router
[03:20] <ActionParsnip> phong_: set the device to give out the right IP and the ubuntu clients will use it
[03:20] <phong_> and dns server reside on win 2008 server
[03:20] <ActionParsnip> phong_: configure whatever gives the IP addressing out and the Ubuntu systems will use what they are told
[03:23] <ActionParsnip> </pointing out the obvious>
[03:23] <Xayrz> I am curious if there is any IP list  out there (similar to ipfilter) that names and blocks all ip ranges (0.etc - 255,etc)? I want to something that lists the names and then whitelist things as I go along. Is that possible?
[03:24] <newb_untu> Hi
[03:24] <scientes__> Xayrz, that would be 0.0.0.0/0
[03:24] <scientes__> Xayrz, oh, i know what ur talking about, yeah it exists, ive seen it on fedora
[03:24] <KarmaComa> I have a little problem with my ubuntu, I originally installed Kubuntu 12.04 beta 1, and then through muon installed "gnome" and the installation went fine but 2 little bugs, 1st: when I restart gnome3 it freezes sometimes while showing the blue screen that has nothing but Kubuntu written on it and 5 blinking dots, 2nd bug: I want to see Ubuntu login screen not Kubuntu one with the 5 dots, and I c
[03:24] <scientes__> but i'm sure its packaged for ubuntu too
[03:24] <Xayrz> fedora? Should I google that?
[03:24] <scientes__> Xayrz, but its not for ranges
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> KarmaComa: ask in #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 support please
[03:25] <scientes__> Xayrz, its for programs
[03:25] <KarmaComa> I did
[03:25] <KarmaComa> no answer
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> KarmaComa: the wait
[03:25] <newb-untu> Anyone have luck getting wifi working in 12.04 on a MacBook?
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> KarmaComa: Precise is not supported here
[03:25] <KarmaComa> oh ok :)
[03:25] <scientes__> Xayrz, you don't want to block like that period, the most you can do it use wireshark and just see whats going on
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> newb-untu: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Precise support please
[03:25] <newb-untu> K
[03:26] <Xayrz> scientes__: I don't what to block what (period)?
[03:26] <wylde> KarmaComa: you could take your chances over in #kubuntu.
[03:26] <KarmaComa> i do, but no one  knows about the problem i have
[03:27] <comgen> KarmaComa computer model ?
[03:27] <KarmaComa> processor? intel core 2 duo
[03:28] <KarmaComa> ati amd hd 5570  VGA
[03:29] <comgen> KarmComa : older PC's / Wifi you might need to download the supported driver, I have an older HP 2.3GHz Bcom wifi I had to manually configure, syslog provided this info
[03:29] <KarmaComa> i'm connecting through a direct router cable
[03:29] <Xayrz> Is there IP list with ranges named (similar to ipfilter) that includes all publicly known ip ranges? For example I would like for my ip program to list the ip and the company name (if publicy known). Most of these IPs can be looked up on the web and the information can be fetched, so I would assume there would be some list somewhere?
[03:29] <scientes__> Xayrz, i already said, use wireshark
[03:30] <scientes__> and no, there is no list, its called reverse DNS
[03:30] <scientes__> Xayrz, use dig -x
[03:31] <Xayrz> What is "dig -x"
[03:31] <scientes__> Xayrz, reverse dns, what you are asking for
[03:31] <scientes__> Xayrz, man dig
[03:31] <Xayrz> Thanks man.
[03:31] <Xayrz> :)
[03:36] <track0x15> anyone suggest me a debatable topic in the field of security?

[03:42] <infekted> ok so my theme and icons got reset to default and it wont load anythemes now is there a way to reset
[03:43] <cirwin> I have a problem with a process that keeps spawning itself
[03:43] <cirwin> how do I go about killing it thoroughly?
[03:43] <faryshta> Is there a way to connect to two different wifi using ubuntu?
[03:43] <xi23> I was wondering if anybody has edited https://help.ubuntu.com/ recently. I don't seem to be able to (or maybe I'm just totally forgetting how to) edit pages.
[03:44] <cirwin> the process tree looks like: https://raw.github.com/gist/238ae9d11cfbab444ed2/578df3d8b370fd593709b573218ebe406ccb750e/gistfile1.txt (*large*) a few seconds after I run "pkill -f pry"
[03:46] <xi23> did ubuntu die? this room use to be very active
[03:46] <comgen> cirwin : ps -A  : then sudo killall processname or sudo kill PID
[03:48] <cirwin> comgen: I tried that a few times
[03:48] <cirwin> the solution in the end was just to mv the program out from under itself
[03:49] <comgen> cirwin : sometimes I must use root to kill off processes, sudo will not do it for some reason so : su -  : then killall or kill PID
[03:49] <cirwin> comgen: that is worth knowing, thanks
[03:50] <comgen> no prob
[03:51] <freesey> anyone know how to switch from this new unity desktop back to the old style gnome or kde window manager? this is really confusing me
[03:51]  * irbinix is back.
[03:51] <bazhang> !notunity | freesey
[03:52] <bazhang> freesey, at the login window select
[03:52] <freesey> thank you both
[03:52] <freesey> Its just quite confusing to me
[03:54] <munki> how's it going all- i have a question. is there a way to tunnel only specific applications through a vpn and how would i go about setting htat up? i can't seem to find stuff online on it, maybe i'm searching for the wrong things
[03:54] <share> so I just deleted Ubuntu partitions using cfdisk ... restarted the computer and windows doesnt boot because of grub
[03:54] <share> how can I solve this
[03:54] <comgen> munki : VPN or SSH ?
[03:55] <scientes__> share, windows restore cd
[03:55] <munki> vpn
[03:55] <munki> comgen:
[03:55] <share> scientes__: ???
[03:55] <munki> using openvpn
[03:55] <share> scientes__: it's a grub problem
[03:55] <scientes__> share, is linux still on the computer?
[03:55] <share> and i dont have a windows cd
[03:55] <share> scientes__: i just removed the partition tables
[03:56] <scientes__> share, oh, if linux is still there, then use the live cd, and use grub-install --boot-directory=
[03:56] <scientes__> man grub-install
[03:56] <share> scientes__: what
[03:56] <share> windows is there
[03:56] <share> windows partitions are there
[03:56] <scientes__> share, if you remove linux, you have to restore the windows boot loader however
[03:56] <share> ubuntu partitions are gone
[03:56] <share> scientes__: yes, how?
[03:56] <scientes__> share, ok, then windows resore cd
[03:56] <share> I DONT HAVE IT
[03:56] <scientes__> share, there are other methods
[03:56] <share> grr
[03:57] <freesey> does KDE still exist as a window manager?
[03:57] <comgen> munki : apps on linux box I assume and you're running linux and/or Xserver win app ?
[03:57] <share> ubuntu fucked this up
[03:57] <scientes__> but they are a bit iffy, as they ship window's MBR
[03:57] <FloodBot1> share: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:57] <share> nice
[03:57] <scientes__> share, you can find the msdob mbr program
[03:57] <scientes__> it use to be in debian
[03:57] <share> grrr
[03:57] <scientes__> but they removed it over copyrigh tissues
[03:57] <bel3atar> who is using KDE 4.8.2 ?
[03:57] <share> i just want to restore windows grub
[03:57] <scientes__> share, its in the archives
[03:57] <share> it should be there!
[03:57] <share> i only touched linux partitions!
[03:57] <scientes__> share, grub doesn't work without a boot partition
[03:57] <share> i dont want grub!
[03:57] <scientes__> share, cause MBR bootloader is 512 bytes
[03:57] <share> grrr
[03:57] <scientes__> that is tiny
[03:58] <share> grub = linux thing
[03:58] <munki> comgen: vpn server is somewhere remote, ubuntu machine is a headless server, i'd like to run an application through this vpn but my other traffic just normally
[03:58] <share> i dont want linux thing
[03:58] <scientes__> share, you just need those 512 bytes
[03:58] <bazhang> !enter | share
[03:58] <share> i want to put like it was before
[03:58] <bazhang> share thats enough
[03:58] <scientes__> share, yeah, well, ubuntu cant distribute them cause they are microsoft's
[03:58] <share> sda1 windows system sda2 windows folders... sda3 etc were Linux and are deleted.
[03:58] <scientes__> share, but i am saying ubuntu use to, and you can get them out of the archives, much easier thatn windows recovery cd
[03:59] <scientes__> share,  also windows MBR hasn't changed since at least XP so XP recovery cd will work for vista, 7
[03:59] <share> scientes__: are you saying to use grub thing to restore windows bootloader?
[04:00] <comgen> munki : I connect via VPN to another network, then I create a ssh script to connect to TOR browser app : as such : ssh -X username@192.168.1.252 ./start-tor
[04:00] <scientes__> share, there is a debian package that can do it, but its only available in the archives, it was removed over copyright converns
[04:00] <share> omg i only want a solution
[04:00] <scientes__> share, the only official way to do it is a windows recovery cd, any version
[04:00] <freesey> Do I need to restart to enable the classic gnome shell?
[04:00] <bazhang> freesey, logout and log back in
[04:01] <freesey> I did, it doesnt seem to be using the classic shell :\
[04:01] <scientes__> its only 512 bytes share, google mbr, and you might be able to figure it out and fix your problem
[04:01] <scientes__> but we cant really help you is distributing Microsoft's code
[04:01] <share> scientes__: im gonna explain: before Ubuntu was installed, there was only Windows. After installign Ubuntu it created grub menu, right? now I deleted all Ubuntu partitions and grub is still showing and I cant boot windows
[04:01] <bazhang> freesey, its not the exact same as classic
[04:01] <share> scientes__: do you understand what i just wrote?
[04:01] <scientes__> share, exactly
[04:01] <freesey> Oh there we go
[04:01] <munki> comgen: i think it's a similar setup, i'd like to have rtorrent -(vpn)-> internet but leave irssi -> internet
[04:02] <freesey> for some reason it wasnt selected correctly
[04:02] <freesey> THanks
[04:02] <bazhang> share , yes and you received the answer, several times
[04:02] <scientes__> share, google mbr, if you install the windows mbr it will all work, but we cant distribute the windows mbr
[04:02] <share> scientes__: so, how can I solve this?
[04:02] <share> scientes__: ubuntu deleted windows mbr?
[04:02] <scientes__> share, its 512 bytes in a special place on the disk
[04:02] <munki> comgen: how did you set it up
[04:02] <share> yes and I think it's there.
[04:02] <bazhang> share, he just told you..  go to ##windows
[04:02] <scientes__> share, yes it did, and any windows recovery cd will fix it
[04:02] <share> bazhang: go to windows? ubuntu ruined the windows mbr
[04:03] <scientes__> they can also help you in ##windows share
[04:03] <freesey> okay i was wrong this doesnt seem to be what Im used to
[04:03] <scientes__> share, and to proove i know what you are talking about, you are getting grub error 22
[04:03] <freesey> this fancy side bar is still here and whatnot
[04:04] <share> scientes__: I dont have windows cd. what can I do
[04:04] <comgen> munki : bash script on my machine calling : ssh -X username@192.168.1.253 ./start-tor : start-tor script is located on the VPN network : you can also just drop to console and type: ssh -X username@ip-address-of-box-here firefox&   <<--just an example
[04:04] <share> its a laptop, it didnt come with cd
[04:04] <share> they dont give cds anymore
[04:05] <munki> ah
[04:05] <munki> so it is a little bit different- you're using ssh tunneling while i'm trying to set up an actual vpn with openvpn
[04:05] <freesey> Do I need to disable unity in the compiz manager to shut off the side bar?
[04:05] <comgen> munki : the tunnel format is : ssh -X username@ip-address-of-box-here name-of-app-or-script-here-on-the-remote-machine
[04:06] <scientes__> share, as i said there is a debian package, but its hard to find, or you can ask in ##windows, or you can download it somewhere else
[04:06] <munki> yes that is using ssh however my vpn server only supports openvpn or pptp connections not ssh tunneling
[04:06] <scientes__> share, its only 512 bytes
[04:06] <freesey> brb
[04:06] <comgen> munki : no connect VPN then tunnel to box, you can do this many ways
[04:07] <four-20> how do i install simple-CCSM on my ubuntu 11.10 . it not aviaialbe on software center
[04:07] <comgen> Munki : once you're connected via VPN that network becomes local to you, ssh, ftp, etc as normal
[04:07] <munki> the issue i'm having is that i'd like to connect to a VPN, but no have it route all the traffic through it, only a specific application
[04:08] <share> scientes__: you're telling me i cant put it like it was before
[04:09] <share> so how the hell should i removed ubuntu
[04:09] <scientes__> share, you can if you just had a little patience, and ability to listen
[04:09] <scientes__> and in the linux world, such a action is easy
[04:10] <scientes__> something like dd if=/windows/mbr of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 skip=not sure but could google for it
[04:10] <scientes__> and it would even give you the command on the mbr wikipedia page
[04:10] <share> omg what is that im not gonna risk some command i dont understand
[04:10] <scientes__> if you just tried instead of whining here
[04:10] <scientes__> but the people in ##windows are going to be able to help you the most
[04:11] <scientes__> share, and seriously there is a debian package that will do it all for you
[04:11] <scientes__> just go and find it
[04:11] <Bean> just installed ubuntu and trying out different features. I ended up here, so Hi
[04:11] <scientes__> Bean, welcome!
[04:11] <freesey> okay no matter what window manager I choose it fires up the default unity one or whatever it is for 11.10
[04:11] <scientes__> irc has been around for along time, and still chugging bean!
[04:12] <Bean> I must say I've been messing about with it for about half an hour now, and its ALOT better, and easier than windows. I struggled to teach my nan to use windows 7, but i think i could teach her to use this easily
[04:12] <RingtailedFox> irc was created back in 1988
[04:12] <Bean> IRC is 4 years older than me XD
[04:13] <four-20> how do i remove my bottom bar alone and i like to install cairodock on my ubuntt 11.10
[04:13] <Bean> Anyone have any suggestions of applications of features of 12.04 i should try?
[04:14] <Bean> or*
[04:14] <comgen> four-20 : right click the panel : remove/delete/move - properties
[04:14] <scientes__> Bean, oh yeah, GNU/Linux is the easiest for people don't think they are "computer people"
[04:14] <scientes__> Bean, try "cheese", and "oneshot", gimp, inkscape, audacity, blender
[04:14] <grapenuts> which date is the official 12.04 release slated for?
[04:15] <scientes__> grandrew, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule
[04:15] <wylde> April 26th I believe grapenuts
[04:15] <Bean> @Scientes, I have used windows since I was 10, Always been able to use it. Did my diploma at college in ICT and it was HEAVILY windows based. But Ubuntu, i dont see how you wouldnt be able to work out how to do something instantly
[04:15] <freesey> okay am I a total idiot and gnome classic is supposed to look new? I want the window /desktop interface I had in 10.04 is that not gnome?
[04:15] <scientes__> Bean, thats how i feel too, windows tries to hide stuff from you
[04:16] <scientes__> Bean, what in windows requires an hour of download is one line in GNU/Linux
[04:16] <share> scientes__: I cant find that mythical package
[04:16] <share> ...
[04:16] <comgen> grape : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[04:16] <Bean> and @Grapenuts, Cheese, oneshot, inkscape and Blender, i shall look at. Gimp and audacity however, I did use on windows, and found them much easier than their Very pricey competitiors
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> freesey: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/
[04:16] <scientes__> Bean, yeah all the "big-box" software of linux is cross-platform
[04:17] <scientes__> Bean, but the real value is the integration, and the fact that "advanced features of windows" are just standard, first-class objects in Linux
[04:17] <scientes__> well, not all, esp with server stuff
[04:17] <Bean> @Scientes, I decided to install ubuntu because my win7 Crashed, and for the life of me i couldnt work out how to reinstall. Everytime i got past language setup, it said CD/DVD Driver missing. hours and days later, i thought oh sod it, USB Ubuntu here i come
[04:17] <Bean> glad i did it now,
[04:17] <freesey> and does anyone know how to turn down the mouse scroll wheel sensitivity
[04:17] <scientes__> Bean, yeah in linux you dont ever get stuck on a hardware upgrade treadmill
[04:18] <xangua> !ot | scientes__ Bean
[04:18] <scientes__> Freeaqingme, system settings in gnome 3
[04:18] <Bean> is ubottu a bot or person? i dont know if i should appologise?
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> !bot | Bean
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> Bean: apologise to her, see what happens ;)
[04:19] <Bean> @Ubottu, Im sorry ma'am
[04:19] <share> scientes__: im thinking of installing other linux distro... can I solve it this way instead of recovering windows mbr?
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> soreau: ubottu
[04:19] <share> will it boot windows?
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> haha, tabspazz
[04:19] <Bean> Whilst this is the support section of freenode, i do have a question
[04:19] <scientes__> share, yes, that will work, and will boot windows
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> share: the bootloading should be managed
[04:20] <share> scientes__: thats what I wanted to to in first place
[04:20] <share> thats why i deleted the ubuntu partitions
[04:20] <Bean> I downloaded rakarack, and tux guitar, Im assuming i can run an aux cable with a converter to make it 1/4 jack into my guitar and it should play through my laptop
[04:20] <scientes__> share, they why didn't you just say that :P
[04:20] <freesey> is it possible to update to 12.04 in 11.10
[04:20] <scientes__> share, most linux installers have a "custom partitioning" option
[04:20] <share> scientes__: but will the new installation replace that old grub
[04:20] <freesey> cause I hate the GUI
[04:21] <scientes__> freesey, the gui in 12.04 is the same, but there are other options in both
[04:21] <scientes__> share, yes
[04:21] <freesey> scientes__,  I cant get the gui to change
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> freesey: yes, if you don't like Unity, install xfce4 and use that. The guide I gave shows how to make the gnome session look like Gnome2
[04:21] <comgen> freesey : console : sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[04:21] <scientes__> !gnome-shell | freesey
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> freesey: much easier to install xfce
[04:21] <freesey> Ive installed gnome-shell package and it just bloody isnt changing it
[04:21] <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 12.04
[04:21] <freesey> !gnome-shell
[04:21] <share> scientes__: grub will be installed to the only hdd in laptop
[04:22] <freesey> hmm
[04:22] <scientes__> freesey, you have to click the ubuntu icon while logging in
[04:22] <scientes__> and select "GNOME" with the foot icon instead
[04:22] <freesey> scientes__,  I cant just log out and do that? I have auto login set to on
[04:22] <scientes__> freesey, if you do it once, it will change the default
[04:22] <m477> is it possible to make alias which behaves like ctrl+l which runs 'clear'?
[04:22] <freesey> when I log out and do it, it still fires up the new gui
[04:23] <scientes__> (for your account)
[04:23] <scientes__> freesey, there is also gnome fallback/classic
[04:23] <scientes__> freesey, im using gnome-shell right now
[04:23] <comgen> m477 : edit .bashrc  :  nano ~/.bashrc
[04:23] <freesey> so if I reboot and turn off auto login you think itll take? God I hope
[04:24] <Bean> Are there any other chatrooms within freenode? and how do i access them if there are?
[04:24] <Fyodorovna> Bean, /j channel name
[04:24] <m477>  comgen what do you mean to do with .bashrc file?
[04:24] <grapenuts> yes bean, type /join #[name of channel]
[04:24] <scientes__> freesey, doesn't need a reboot, apt-get install gnome-session
[04:24] <Bean> I dont know the names of any haha,
[04:24] <comgen> m477 : you can add aliases to .bashrc under the user account
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> Bean: there are LOADS of channels on freenode
[04:25] <scientes__> Bean, also if you are using xchat, right-click-->server-->list of channels
[04:25] <Bean> pure linux/ubuntu NEWB had it for about an hour
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> scientes__: thats gonna take a while to load ;)
[04:25] <comgen> m477 : for example : alias dir='ls -A --color=auto'
[04:25] <m477> comgen: I know but assume that I want make alias ctrl+a which runs ls, is it possible?
[04:26] <Bean> Found the channels
[04:26] <m477> comgen: or whatever is it
[04:26] <freesey> oh god this is sad I cant find the console
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> freesey: press CTRL+ALT+T
[04:27] <freesey> thank you.
[04:27] <comgen> m477 : you should be able to create an alias for just about any command however, you can also use keyboard mapping located under settings
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> freesey: works in any DE
[04:28] <freesey> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[04:28] <freesey> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> freesey: do you have software centre open, or updates installing?
[04:29] <freesey> i had synaptic open
[04:29] <scientes> ActionParsnip, you were right, it crashes on the list
[04:29] <scientes> ActionParsnip, but it has worked b/f
[04:29] <freesey> and it said i already had the latest version...
[04:29] <freesey> gmmm
[04:29] <freesey> lemme restart and see since i turned off auto logon... brb
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> scientes: its a lot of chennels. alis is a better way to go
[04:30] <malv> could ubiquity be any more worthless?
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> malv: it installs the OS from the install media to the HDD, I can't think of anything more crucial
[04:31] <malv> seems like its completely incapable of installing on any non-standard layout
[04:31] <malv> crashes, hangs, cryptic error messages. Total garbage application.
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> malv: which release?
[04:31] <malv> all of them as far as I can tell
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> malv: did you update ubiquity before running it?
[04:32] <malv> it's not like Redhat's installer that always works no matter the layout
[04:32] <malv> no. i can try
[04:32] <m477> comgen: I tried to add command 'ls' in  keyboard shortcuts (dont know english name of this option), however do you know for instance where is it determined that ctrl+l behaves like 'clear' command
[04:32] <scientes_> malv, you can set the layout before you boot
[04:32] <malv> i am using beta 2
[04:32] <share> ActionParsnip: should I remove boot flag from windows system partition?
[04:32] <malv> it just hangs at some point
[04:32] <scientes_> with the livecd, and the alternate also asks relatively early
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> malv: or use the alternate installer which installs in text mode
[04:33] <share> im installing linux in space left
[04:33] <scientes_> malv, i've had the redhat installer hang on me plenty of times
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> malv: avoid the update during install option in the installer
[04:33] <malv> looks like that is what I am going to have to do. I've never had a release where Ubiquity just works
[04:33] <comgen> m477 : give this a read might help - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Howto%3A%20Custom%20keyboard%20layout%20definitions
[04:33] <scientes_> share, use custom partitioning to get more information
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> share: the boot flag is meaningless to grub
[04:33] <share> there is boot partition with boot flag
[04:33] <share> ok
[04:34] <michaeljones> my network connection stopped working, how do I fix it?
[04:34] <m477> comgen: thank you
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> michaeljones: restart networking service and / or unload then reload the driver module for the interface
[04:36] <share> it shows: DOS MBR cannot boot this (because of 2 partitions with flag button..
[04:37] <share> boot flag*
[04:39] <freesey> okay this is a mess, anyway to uninstall this cleanly without screwing up my dual boot config with windows so i can reinstall 10.04 LTS?
[04:39] <freesey> a 3ghz p4 with 1 gig of ram hates this
[04:39] <scientes_> freesey, you dont have to uninstall to do a clear reinstall
[04:39] <scientes_> *clean
[04:39] <michaeljones> hey faggots, why does this dumb fuck distro just decide to disable networking?
[04:40] <scientes_> freesey, but why 10.04? thats quite old
[04:40] <freesey> scientes_,  so is this pc  lol
[04:40] <CFHowlett> !langauge|michaeljones   seriously?
[04:40] <scientes_> and 12.04 is out in like a month
[04:40] <scientes_> freesey, doesn't make a diff, linux does not use more resources with each release like windows
[04:40] <freesey> oh neat
[04:40] <scientes_> freesey, instead its the selection of packages you use
[04:40] <freesey> cant say I knew that
[04:41] <Artemis3> hello 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 it
[04:41] <scientes_> freesey, but you will need unity-2d probably, or gnome-session-classic for something more like 10.04
[04:42] <scientes_> *gnome-session-fallback
[04:42] <Artemis3> scientes_, release is in 15 days i think
[04:42] <malv> go with xubuntu, save your sanity
[04:42] <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 12.04
[04:43] <freesey> I remember this sucker running 2d gnome with the compiz effects on the cube quite well
[04:43] <comgen> malv : lubuntu-desktop is decent
[04:43] <Artemis3> scientes_, if you prefer a classic desktop try xubuntu or lubuntu, there is unity-2d as well if you like
[04:43] <freesey> but it seems to hate this new gui
[04:43] <freesey> and something seems fishy cause when I logout and backin while selecting a new window manager it wont do it unless i reboot
[04:43] <freesey> speaking of which...brb
[04:43] <scientes_> Artemis3, i use gnome-shell myself, but some people have really old hardware
[04:44] <Artemis3> scientes_, i believe you can also use gnome-shell, but i'm not sure it works without 3d
[04:44] <scientes_> Artemis3, fedora is using llvmpipe to support gnome-shell without 3d
[04:45] <Val1> Hola, alguien podría ayudarme, es mi primer dia usando xubuntu, y simplemente no puedo hacer funcionar el wifi
[04:45] <Artemis3> !es | Val1
[04:45] <michaeljones> Val1: speak english or die
[04:45] <goddard> how can i fix my YouTube Flash Smurfs?
[04:45] <CFHowlett> michaeljones   stop it.  This is not the place for such rude statements.
[04:45] <Val1> Hell no, nodoby helps there
[04:46] <Artemis3> Val1, you are welcome as long as you use english here
[04:46] <joeoshawa> i have tried changing firefox hompage and it always displays a heart picture
[04:47] <joeoshawa> any idea why or how to change it
[04:47] <Artemis3> Val1, perhaps try #xubuntu as well
[04:48] <sacarlson> joeoshawa: so you getting diverted to some other website?
[04:49] <joeoshawa> yes
[04:50] <sacarlson> joeoshawa: maybe an ISP or DNS problem?
[04:50] <joeoshawa> http://8.17.172.90/ph/images/hearts/v_golden_bow.png
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> joeoshawa: try:   echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf      Then try the web
[04:51] <The_Dude> If one were to run the 12.04 beta, do you think there'd be much difficulty in upgrading the beta to the final 12.04 that comes out in a month or so?
[04:51] <sacarlson> joeoshawa: ya good idea ActionParsnip try that
[04:52] <xangua> !beta | The_Dude
[04:52] <The_Dude> ubottu: thx
[04:52] <The_Dude> oh =x
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> The_Dude: you will upgrade seamlessly to the RC. Please ask about precisein #ubuntu+1 in future
[04:55] <scientes_> this page doesn't mention a RC https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule
[04:56] <goddard> how can i fix my YouTube Flash Smurfs?
[04:56] <scientes_> goddard, why do smurfs laugh when they run?
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> goddard: how do you mean smurfs?
[04:59] <scientes_> goddard, cause the grass tickles their balls!
[04:59] <Val1> Hell i just enjoy ubuntu and i really hate it....im just learning how this SO works after years using mac and win, but everywere when i ask 4 help... i find  rude ppl acting like real  wtf...dont need to be an ass, real hackers dont do that...thanks 4 nothing
[05:00] <scientes_> Val1, well ubuntu doesn't have "ubuntu stores" with 20 people
[05:01] <xangua> if by rude he means no one reads his mind and magiacly resolves problems without one single detail i agree ;)
[05:01] <ActionParsnip> val1I haven't seen you post your issue yet....
[05:02] <sacarlson> ActionParsnip: they did but in spanish... they also left
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> so we get vented at, that's not hypcitical of him/her...
[05:06] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: what else is new ;) People don't want to take time to wait nor have the time to learn a new OS properly or for this matter using google to find a solution
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: indeed but they expect (and half rightly so) for the OS to work well etc etc.
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: people just seem to not want to try anymore
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: "If I can't do it, it's too hard" sort of thing
[05:08] <basic123> ahmadalza: halooo
[05:08] <ahmadalza> basic123: Error: "halooo" is not a valid command.
[05:08] <basic123> !ping
[05:08] <ahmadalza> pong
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> pang
[05:09] <wylde> and !ot , there's a dedicated room for bots and testing on freenode.
[05:10] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: it's understandable that they want the os to work correctly however most manufacturers don't make the right drivers for linux and people don't want to start building a driver from scratch or get a "dirty system" because of endlessly trying to get a driver to work
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: agreed
[05:12] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: in my humble opinion and I am too lazy to use this method myself you need a linux box for testing and a second linuxbox (with identical hardware) which you use once you found a solution for your problem
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: I just buy super compatible hardware, makes life a lot easier, sadly others don't
[05:14] <FernandoCueva> I have problems with flash
[05:15] <FernandoCueva> adobe flash will not work on this pc with linux, only works with windows, the other pc with ubuntu flash works why not with this pc? how can I trouble shoot this
[05:15] <sacarlson> ActionParsnip: I have hardware a usb wifi with rt73 chipset that did work quite well in ubuntu 10.04, now in ubuntu 11.10 it only works on unencrypted networks,  seems something changed in wpa_supplicant?  sometimes newer software isn't better
[05:15] <sacarlson> sorry didn't mean to add the name at the start
[05:15] <CFHowlett> sacarlson   thus I always suggest sticking with LTS releases ...
[05:16] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: I do agree with you up to a given point, however when I look again to myself I start using Ubuntu way after I was comfortable using windows just by experiment. and therefore all my pc's are build up for the use of windows. which makes the use under ubuntu a bit complicated but we are getting there anyhow :)
[05:16] <sacarlson> CFHowlett: ya as I do but I was preparing for the next lts to see at what state it's at,  I guess they have 2 more years to fix it
[05:19] <Jordan_U> FernandoCueva: What happens when you try to view a flash animation / video?
[05:19] <FernandoCueva> a black screen Jordan_U
[05:21] <FernandoCueva> I have the plugin installed is not about that, I even tried live versions of ubuntu and it works on 1 pc not the other
[05:23] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: this is the new laptop that I want to by Aspire AS7750G-26712G87BN
[05:23] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: my guess it's the video drivers, what video chip set does this non working system have?  sudo lshw | pastebinit ; if you wish to share
[05:24] <internetking> hey all
[05:24] <CFHowlett> internetking   greetings
[05:25] <FernandoCueva> it says I don't bhave pastebinit package
[05:25] <internetking> you all know how do i change default connection from wired to wifi  so that my pings and traceroutes m,  etc goes out  through my wifi...
[05:25] <Stryker> Hey, I can't get my  windows partition to boot after resize, what to do?
[05:25] <kunji> Hey everyone, recently my Flash video has started to have choppy sound, does anyone know if this is caused by the recent update?  Also I've tried using the 64 bit beta instead, but it seems to have the same issue.  So at this point I would like to check if pulseaudio is the culprit (all of my sound is routed through JACK to ALSA but the browser defaults to pulse so I create a pulse sink and source to JACK because JACK takes full use of the sound system...).  
[05:25] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: I guess I should have added ;  apt-get install pastebinit ;  to the line
[05:26] <FernandoCueva> what does that do
[05:26] <CFHowlett> Stryker   you need to boot the windows dvd and run "repair".
[05:26] <FernandoCueva> what is that progry for
[05:26] <Stryker>          CFHowlett I don't have that, and btw it's xp
[05:26] <CharminTheMoose> Hey all, I moved /lib/libreoffice (and /lib/ure due to LO needing it) to a ramdisk, to speed up access times, but none of the toolbar icons are appearing. :/
[05:26] <CFHowlett> Stryker   in windows 7 the uuid is used in the bootloader.  apparently resizing changes uuid ...
[05:26] <kunji> Stryker: What exactly is it doing?  Probably what CFHowlett said though (usually is)
[05:27] <internetking> you all know how do i change default connection from wired to wifi  so that my pings and traceroutes m,  etc goes out  through my wifi...
[05:27] <Stryker> I dunno, CFHowlett
[05:27] <Jordan_U> CFHowlett: Stryker: Resizing a partition does not change the UUID of a filesytem, nothing but creating a new filesystem or explicitly changing the UUID will change the UUID of a filesystem.
[05:27] <FernandoCueva> I can just paste it here sacarlson
[05:27] <Stryker> I also moved the harddrive
[05:27] <Stryker> partition
[05:28] <sacarlson> !paste | FernandoCueva:
[05:28] <kunji> internetking: check the man pages, but I'm pretty sure you can specify what device to use for those commands as an option
[05:28] <Jordan_U> Stryker: Since this is a Windows problem try asking in ##windows. There is also a possible work around using grub (see #grub) but it's best to fix Windows' boot sector properly.
[05:28] <CFHowlett> Jordan_U ok then.
[05:28] <letmethink> idiots
[05:28] <letmethink> idiots
[05:29] <FernandoCueva> sacarlson, can I paste limited information I don't want to disclose my entire hardware information
[05:29] <letmethink> you are idiots
[05:29] <Stryker> I'll try; keep me posted, Jordan_U
[05:29] <Stryker> Oh no, letmethink is going away
[05:29] <CFHowlett> letmethink   go away ...
[05:30] <scientes_> FernandoCueva, well, whats the problem, you can certainly redact, but info helps
[05:30] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: I don't think one line will cover all the valuable info on a video card,  if you want to edit out uneeded info that's fine, then pastebin that
[05:30] <scientes_> FernandoCueva, also, pastes can be deleted, unlike the logs for this channel
[05:32] <sacarlson> scientes_: I didn't know you can delete pastebin posts,  I might have to look into that
[05:32] <FernandoCueva> I just want to paste what will be needed not all
[05:33] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: your free to do as you wish,  best do it then talk about it
[05:33] <FernandoCueva> so what do I paste
[05:33] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: your asking me?  I already told you what I want,  what you don't want is the question
[05:35] <FernandoCueva> you want it all?
[05:37] <FernandoCueva> you don't need to see waht's the cashe size of my cpu do you
[05:40] <faryshta> Is there a way to connect to two different wifi using ubuntu?
[05:41] <sacarlson> faryshta: connect to two wifi networks at the same time?  you would need to wifi devices to do so
[05:41] <sacarlson> to = two
[05:42] <malv> hard to believe the alternate installer still has this cdrom bug
[05:42] <malv> what is it? like 5 iterations with this bug?
[05:43] <faryshta> sacarlson, I have.
[05:43] <faryshta> sacarlson, the laptop wifi and a usb wifi.
[05:43] <scientes_> sacarlson, well, various paste services
[05:43] <sacarlson> faryshta: ok then it should be posible
[05:43] <Jordan_U> malv: Please state the problem you'd like support for, and avoid ranting.
[05:44] <malv> Jordan_U: ubuntu sucks is my problem
[05:44] <malv> can't even install it
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> malv: tried the alternate ISO?
[05:44] <malv> tried regular and alternate
[05:44] <malv> both have bugs
[05:44] <Jordan_U> malv: This channel is not for ranting, only for productive support discussion. This is your last warning.
[05:44] <malv> my netbook has no cdrom so the alternate those this cdrom mount error
[05:44] <malv> throws*
[05:45] <malv> Jordan_U: so kick me, faggot
[05:46] <KDC_> what is this
[05:48] <FernandoCueva> so can you help me
[05:48] <FernandoCueva> I have the full text from lshw
[05:49] <KDC_> .....
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> KDC_: what is what?
[05:50] <KDC_> what kind of chat room?
[05:50] <scientes_> malv, you can put the livecd on a usb stick
[05:50] <scientes_> oh hes gone

[05:54] <isin> list
[05:54] <isin> hi
[05:56] <enchilado> Guest3532: so?
[05:57] <FernandoCueva> sacarlson, you still there man
[05:57] <FernandoCueva> I need your help as to why my pc wont' work with flash
[05:58] <FernandoCueva> you need the video card chipset info? it's clock: 66MHz
[06:00] <dr_willis> video chipset is good info to share
[06:01] <DropsOfSerenity> I have an application which I've made a .desktop file for, It launches the application but then unity launcher does not recognize it as a running window, how can I get unity launcher to recognize it as running.
[06:01] <isin> i have an issue. my laptop is toshiba satellite L646. if i connect head phone, only internal speakers works no voice in head phone. How to resolve this issue?
[06:01] <FernandoCueva> dr_willis, here is all my hardware info http://pastebin.com/bG4ZFzDz
[06:02] <FernandoCueva> sacarlson, you there man? I just posted my whole lshw
[06:02] <FernandoCueva> can you guys tell me why flash is not working on this pc then
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> isin: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh
[06:03] <dr_willis> flash is a pain.. has been for years
[06:03] <isin> ok let me check
[06:04] <FernandoCueva> I went to adobe site /software/flash/about and where the version number should be is all white space
[06:04] <Laiam> FernandoCueva: 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] <bobo37773> If upstream is the developers is downstream the distro itself?
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> FernandoCueva: can you pastebin the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[06:05] <FernandoCueva> I use opera Laiam
[06:05] <dr_willis> google chrome has its own flash built in dosent it. try it perhaps
[06:05] <Jordan_U> bobo37773: Generally, yes. Though there are many levels and some odd cases. I'd love to continue discussing this in #ubuntu-offtopic.
[06:05] <Laiam> chromium doesn't bundle the flash plugin
[06:05] <Laiam> so you'll have to manually add the google repo for chrome
[06:06] <FernandoCueva> http://pastebin.com/cGtDygh7
[06:06] <Laiam> FernandoCueva: 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 way
[06:07] <dr_willis> askubuntu.com may have some info on flash in opera also. i dont use opera
[06:07] <FernandoCueva> is not about the plugin I'm sure I tried firefox on live versions
[06:07] <FernandoCueva> and it works on 1 pc not this one
[06:07] <FernandoCueva> the pc is the problem and as someone suggested maybe due to the video driver
[06:07] <Laiam> FernandoCueva: so both firefox and opera are failling to use flash?
[06:08] <FernandoCueva> yea same symptons the problem is the computer
[06:08] <Hoyt> hi , I use alternative iso and USB boot all the time , just forget where to download the kernel / ramdisk for a usb installer ?
[06:08] <rkhshm> guys.. I need some urgent help...
[06:09] <Hoyt> I only remember "hd-media" folder ..
[06:09] <FernandoCueva> me first
[06:09] <rkhshm> I'm trying to run apt-get update/install but end up with this error http://pastie.org/3760151
[06:09] <rkhshm> I'm not running under any proxy
[06:09] <dr_willis> !install
[06:09] <isin> i have attached a file of alsa info accept it
[06:10] <goddard> how can i fix my YouTube Flash Smurfs? The flash update made my YouTube videos blue.
[06:10] <dr_willis> smurftube
[06:10] <FernandoCueva> ActionParsnip, I pasted the result from lsb_release http://pastebin.com/cGtDygh7
[06:11] <aerisique> i'm trying to boot ubuntu off a USB drive on a computer that has a dual boot setup of arch and windows. when i choose to boot off the USB, the screen displays the grub bootloader and doesn't give me the ubuntu installer at all. any ideas?
[06:11] <dr_willis> !nomodeset | aerisique
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> FernandoCueva: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> FernandoCueva: you say you only use opera?
[06:12] <Laiam> ActionParsnip: He
[06:12] <Laiam> He's tried both firefox and opera
[06:12] <Jordan_U> aerisique: Are you trying to boot an Ubuntu installation from USB, or boot an  Ubuntu installer from USB?
[06:12] <aerisique> Jordan_U, the latter
[06:12] <CFHowlett> aerisique   grub is reading the installation setup on your USB, i.e. ubuntu
[06:12] <FernandoCueva> mainly opera ActionParsnip
[06:12] <Jordan_U> aerisique: How did you create this USB?
[06:12] <aerisique> Jordan_U, dd
[06:12] <isin> how to install grub loader in 11.04?
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> FernandoCueva: mkdir ~/.opera/plugins; cd ~/.opera/plugins; wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/libflashplayer.so
[06:13] <goddard> dr_willis: basically
[06:13] <Jordan_U> aerisique: What is the exact dd command you ran?
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> FernandoCueva: actually sratch that
[06:13] <aerisique> Jordan_U, dd if=ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso of=/dev/disk2 bs=1m
[06:13] <Laiam> !grub > isin
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> FernandoCueva: cd /usr/lib/opera/plugins; sudo wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/libflashplayer.so
[06:14] <isin> ok
[06:14] <Jordan_U> aerisique: Ubuntu 9.10 didn't support being dd'd to a drive.
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> FernandoCueva: its old school, but it works
[06:15] <FernandoCueva> ActionParsnip, the second one right?
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> FernandoCueva: yes the second
[06:15] <Jordan_U> aerisique: 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.
[06:17] <aerisique> Jordan_U, that explains a lot.. thanks. The grub menu is coming from when I installed Arch so it's not from the USB
[06:17] <dr_willis>  dev/disk2 you did use the actual sd*. not sda1  but sda. for example. and dd works with 11.04+ only i think
[06:18] <DropsOfSerenity> can 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_willis> DropsOfSerenity:  what app?
[06:18] <DropsOfSerenity> dr_willis, It's a game called tibia
[06:18] <aerisique> dr_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 work
[06:19] <Laiam> aerisique: does your bios support boot from usb, and did you select the usb from the boot menu?
[06:19] <Jordan_U> aerisique: You're welcome. 11.04 does support being dd'd by the way.
[06:19] <FernandoCueva> still doesn't work
[06:19] <aerisique> Laiam, yes/yes. I think my problem is solved though - I used dd for 9.10 and it's not supported, thanks for asking though
[06:19] <dr_willis> DropsOfSerenity:  is the launcher running a script that then runs the game?
[06:19] <DropsOfSerenity> dr_willis, I was looking at the .desktop entry spec mabye the StartupWMClass option? I don't know
[06:20] <DropsOfSerenity> yes.
[06:20] <dr_willis> DropsOfSerenity:  java game?
[06:21] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: you might have missed this line in your lshw -display:1 UNCLAIMED
[06:21] <DropsOfSerenity> dr_willis, no, they use their own engine.
[06:21] <FernandoCueva> sacarlson, what about it
[06:21] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: I don't think you will have flash working without a driver
[06:22] <FernandoCueva> I have radeon I'm sure
[06:23] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: yes but is seems you haven't installed drivers for your product: RV350 NJ [Radeon 9800 XT] (Secondary)
[06:23] <FernandoCueva> how do I enable it? sacarlson
[06:24] <FernandoCueva> it can use my current driver right? I didn't install anything ubuntu took care of that
[06:24] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva:  I'm a nvidia guy,  so not sure,  next time stick to nvidia
[06:24] <FernandoCueva> does flash runs o the second display or sm
[06:25] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: oh there's two screens?  I assume they are both radion
[06:25] <FernandoCueva> I only use a crt monitor from 1999 using the crt cable the other is unused
[06:25] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: oh I stand corrected I see on the first card driver=radeon
[06:25] <bandu> good morning, gents
[06:26] <DropsOfSerenity> WM_CLASS is unset on this particular games, how can I set it manually?
[06:26] <CFHowlett> bandu greetings
[06:27] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: unless you pluged the monitor into the wrong card?
[06:27] <FernandoCueva> I only use one video card
[06:27] <bandu> CFHowlett: greetings. you feeling okay?
[06:27] <FernandoCueva> and this one only has 1 crt connector
[06:27] <CFHowlett> bandu.  yep.  what kind of ubuntu problem are you having.
[06:28] <bandu> CFHowlett: none, i was just saying hi. thank you very much for the intention, however.
[06:28] <bandu> ubuntu works perfect so far.
[06:28] <FernandoCueva> not 12
[06:29] <Jordan_U> bandu: This channel is for Ubuntu support only. For other (often nonsensical :) discussion try #ubuntu-offtopic.
[06:29] <bandu> yes, sir.
[06:29] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: how does a computer with two video cards not have two video output?
[06:30] <FernandoCueva> sacarlson, the display 1 must be the secondary connector that uses dvi
[06:30] <faryshta> Is there a way to connect to two different wifi using ubuntu?
[06:30] <Leo__> Hey! I'm having some problems with the alsa_in command in relation to jack because of what I think is a problem in ubuntu
[06:30] <Leo__> I'm running jack with hw:0 (my soundcard, only one) as interface, and the alsa_in -dhw:1 command is to make jack talk to my amplifier (hw:1)
[06:30] <Leo__> The problem is that, it only works once per reboot... If I disconnect the terminal having run the alsa_in command, I can't run it again later... I get this output:
[06:30] <Leo__> alsa_in -dhw:1 Unable to set hw params for playback: Input/output error Setting of hwparams failed: Input/output error
[06:30] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: ok and can't be the other way around that display 0 is the dvi output?
[06:31] <FernandoCueva> sacarlson, I don't know how to test?
[06:31] <brez_> Hi All, I have a headless box, I just set it all up -- installed VNC, however when I vnc to this box unity is not there?
[06:31] <brez_> am running 12.04
[06:31] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: I have no idea, never had two output
[06:31] <FernandoCueva> there is 3 outputs the svideo the crt and the dvi sacarlson
[06:33] <sacarlson> brez_: I think you would have to setup a virtual display for a headless system or it won't detect a monitor so won't start xorg
[06:33] <soee> hi, guys do you know how can i fix this error when trying to run skype: skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtDBus.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[06:34] <CFHowlett> brez 12.04 is supported in ubuntu+1
[06:34] <brez_> sacarlson: already done -- I can VNC to the box, everything works, accept unity is ont there -- I heard changing the settings in lightdm to ubuntu-2d does the trick, however I have forced it to start in 2d, and still starts in 3d :(
[06:34] <kamilnadeem> Hi
[06:34] <FernandoCueva> sacarlson, you thought I was using 2 video cards?
[06:34] <CFHowlett> kamilnadeem   greetings
[06:34] <sacarlson> soee: what version of ubuntu is that?  I have skype running ok on 10.04 and 11.10
[06:35] <soee> sacarlson, 11.10
[06:35] <FernandoCueva> like running in some sort of hyperthreading
[06:35] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: I know you have 2 video cards,  I didn't look to see how many monitors you had hooked to it
[06:35] <tanath> is there a way to do an alt+tab from commandline?
[06:35] <CFHowlett> soee   be aware skype is in 2 year old beta and will NEVER see further development.  Each ubuntu issue will just render it further obsolete.
[06:35] <never2far> i'm using ubuntu 11.10. Is it possible to create a virtual interface, assign a different IP then the wireless IP and then make a bridge between wlan0 and new interface ?
[06:35] <soee> sacarlson, i dont know why but last week all worked fine, just today it wont start - maybe after some updates or something
[06:35] <tanath> (especially in compiz)
[06:36] <FernandoCueva> sacarlson, I only have 1 video card with 3 different outputs
[06:36] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: well it's seen as 2,  they make chips these days that act as more than one
[06:37] <sacarlson> soee: that doen't answer my question of what version are you running?
[06:38] <soee> <soee> sacarlson, 11.10
[06:39] <sacarlson> soee: sorry I missed it before,  wonder what you installed that made it stop working?
[06:39] <soee> no idea
[06:40] <kamilnadeem> Sorry my connection dropped
[06:41] <metulburr> how can i make an external HDD visable from home instead of /media
[06:41] <kamilnadeem> I tried booting Ubuntu 10.10 on my old system and here is the result "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU:
[06:41] <kamilnadeem> cx8 cmov
[06:41] <kamilnadeem> Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU."
[06:42] <sacarlson> soee: You should check System-->Administration-->Synaptic Package Manager-->File-->History  see what you installed when is stoped and uninstall it
[06:42] <kamilnadeem> full report here https://plus.google.com/u/0/112759940931397244391/posts/J7GdaP7nKX1
[06:42] <sacarlson> soee: or better to purge it
[06:46] <tafelpoot> metulburr: you can specify a mountpoint in /etc/fstab for that disk
[06:46] <metulburr> tafelpoot:  i was looking for a tmp way
[06:48] <tafelpoot> metulburr: you can just mount it manually
[06:48] <tafelpoot> mount /dev/disk ~/mountdir
[06:49] <tanath> is there a way to do an alt+tab from commandline (particularly in compiz)?

[06:59] <blackrock> Hi! How many hard drives can I use with an Ubuntu system? Is there a formula to calculate it?
[07:00] <ma1> Jordan_U: it display the doc file locations which are /usr/share/doc/source ....
[07:00] <Jordan_U> blackrock: There shouldn't be any limit which you could possibly hit.
[07:01] <ma1> Jordan_U: but in the bottom it says that Package `3.0.0.17.20' is not installed.
[07:01] <fidel> blackrock: afaik as much as you can connect ot the system
[07:01] <blackrock> Jordan_U, fidel, thanks!
[07:01] <fidel> so .... feel free to open your hardware zoo
[07:01] <Jordan_U> blackrock: You're welcome.
[07:02] <Jordan_U> ma1: What is the exact commadn you ran?
[07:02] <ma1> Jordan_U: but Ubuntu Software Center says that 3.0.0.17.20 is installed
[07:02] <ma1> Jordan_U: dpkg -L linux-source 3.0.0.17.20
[07:02] <brez_> Anyone know why my ubuntu would start in 'ubuntu 3d' even though I have lightdm.conf set to 'user session=ubuntu-2d' ?
[07:03] <Jordan_U> ma1: That should have been "dpkg -L linux-source-3.0.0.17.20"
[07:03] <ma1> Jordan_U: ohhhhh...sorry
[07:04] <Jordan_U> ma1: np :)
[07:05] <ma1> Jordan_U: the problem is still there
[07:05] <metulburr> tafelpoot: how would i unmount it from there, because when i umount it, i get directory is not mounted error
[07:05] <ma1> Jordan_U: "dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-source" gives me only two names
[07:06] <Jordan_U> ma1: And those are?
[07:06] <ma1> Jordan_U: linux-source and linux-source-3.0.0
[07:07] <Jordan_U> ma1: Then "dpkg -L linux-source-3.0.0".
[07:07] <metulburr> tafelpoot: http://codepad.org/tu5VZVBF
[07:07] <ma1> Jordan_U: it throws a lot of file locations
[07:08] <ma1> Jordan_U: but
[07:08] <tomasz> hallo
[07:08] <CFHowlett> tomasz   greetings
[07:08] <tomasz> i have problem to install secound ubuntu on one harddisk
[07:08] <tafelpoot> metulburr: specify only one dir.. only specify the device OR the dir... not both
[07:08] <ma1> Jordan_U: but my kernel version is "3.0.0-12-generic"
[07:08] <tomasz> i get always error: first load kernel
[07:08] <CFHowlett> tomasz   wait, 2 ubuntus on 1 hard drive?  Why?
[07:09] <tomasz> i have lubuntu and wont mint
[07:09] <tomasz> i need instal mint linux
[07:09] <Jordan_U> !mint | tomasz
[07:10] <tomasz> i try install difrent options and cant start from grub
[07:10] <tomasz> lubuntu start normal and win7 but mint say no kernel loaded
[07:12] <Jordan_U> tomasz: Linux Mint is not supported here. Period.
[07:12] <aknewhope> #ubuntu
[07:13] <ma1> Jordan_U: what should i do now?
[07:13] <tomasz> o
[07:13] <tomasz> ok
[07:13] <tomasz> but it created on ubuntu,so maby somebody know how rapiar this
[07:13] <tomasz> to system start normal
[07:14] <metulburr> tafelpoot: when trying to unmount from path i got same error, but worked when unmount the drive, but i would like to unmount it from the the path only and not unmount it completely
[07:14] <metulburr> tafelpoot: http://codepad.org/ArWbUKi1
[07:14] <Jordan_U> tomasz: Linux Mint is not supported here. Period. #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org
[07:14] <Jordan_U> ... Is the right place to ask your question.
[07:15] <p`p> &tomasz; did you ever successfully boot into mint?
[07:16] <p`p> if not, reinstall on that partition hope that grub sets up the way you want it or you'll be googling about grub
[07:16] <Simooon> when installing new repositories from ppa how do I define that I want the version from the ppa and not the one in the original repos?
[07:17] <tomasz> p`p i reinstall mint and do update-grub but dont work
[07:17] <Simooon> (installing inkscape on lucid)
[07:18] <GirlyGirl> Simooon: It installs the newer version by default
[07:18] <ma1> Jordan_U: locate "3.0.0.17.20" gives "/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-source_3.0.0.17.20_all.deb"
[07:19] <Simooon> GirlyGirl, That is what I usually experience but this time it does not work?!
[07:20] <Simooon> I'm trying an other repos
[07:22] <christiaan> hello guys
[07:23] <CFHowlett> christiaan   greetings
[07:23] <christiaan> i have a little problem with ubuntu
[07:23] <christiaan> my graphical user interface won't load anymore
[07:24] <christiaan> anyone has an idea
[07:24] <Simooon> christiaan, I once had that problem after installing a driver for my nVidia card
[07:24] <Simooon> could that be the case for you?
[07:25] <Simooon> my GUI would start after 5 minutes or so, though
[07:25] <Simooon> I could force it to start by using startx
[07:25] <tomgeorge> where can I get help on glade interface design
[07:27] <tjdinmaine> anyone talking or just coming and going
[07:29] <tanath> anyone else get a flicker when switching desktops/workspaces 12.04?
[07:29] <fidel> tanath: unity/gnome-shell/something else?
[07:29] <tanath> fidel, compiz
[07:30] <tanath> fidel, started after release upgrade
[07:30] <tanath> fidel, xfce
[07:30] <fidel> tanath: as 12.04 isnt yet released you might ask in #ubuntu+1
[07:30] <brez> team, anyone know of a ubuntu torrent client which supports IPv6?
[07:30] <tanath> fidel, woops
[07:31] <tanath> brez, have you tried deluge?
[07:31] <brez> nope, but I will -- do you recommend?
[07:32] <c3sso> what is the gsettings command to hide the panels in fallback mode?
[07:32] <tanath> brez, seems to be the best torrent client for linux. i'd be surprised if it didn't
[07:32] <brez> Thanks, will download now!
[07:34] <tanath> brez, yep, just checked. it uses libtorrent, which supports ipv6
[07:37] <rkhshm> guys any idea why I'm facing this issue http://pastie.org/3760151
[07:38] <rayne> just installed deluge myself, seems great, thanks for the suggestion
[07:38] <MordFustang> Can someone tell me how to search for files in folders ? :D
[07:38] <tanath> rayne, np
[07:39] <tanath> rkhshm, looks to me like you're using a local proxy, which isn't working/running at the moment
[07:42] <ma1> can anyone tell me how install kernel source code on my ubuntu 11.10
[07:43] <ma1> using apt-get
[07:43] <prem> does ubuntu supports font embedding feature in its office suite?
[07:43] <rkhshm> tanath: no im not using any local proxy
[07:44] <sacarlson> MordFustang:  ls this*.sh ;   will find any file in present dir  with names like this_is_it.sh  ;  or look at man find
[07:44] <rkhshm> tanath: any ideas pls
[07:45] <GirlyGirl> ma1: Do you want to compile the kernel?
[07:45] <sacarlson> rkhshm: as tanath: pointed out seems you have an internet connection problem,  does your browser work on that system to any wan address?
[07:45] <Guest60004> Hey I'm getting alot of crackling sound while trying to listen to music with a fresh install of 11.10, anyone know a cure?
[07:46] <rkhshm> sacarlson: yes.. my machine has absolutely no issues connecting to any domain
[07:46] <GirlyGirl> Guest60004: Which sound card do you have?
[07:46] <tokinwhiteman> what dns server are you using?
[07:46] <sacarlson> rkhshm: and does you system normaly use a proxy?
[07:46] <Guest60004> GirlyGirl how do i find this out? sorry im new to this
[07:46] <GirlyGirl> Guest60004: Can you provide your complete system specs, sound card, processor, memory
[07:46] <ma1> GirlyGirl: no...just want understand some code
[07:46] <rkhshm> sacarlson: well off-late I've begun to use SAHI proxy server.. so yes.. But I've shut down the proxy server long ago
[07:47] <GirlyGirl> Guest60004: Open terminal and use "lspci"
[07:47] <sacarlson> rkhshm: well that would be a problem if you shut down the proxy server but your apt-get is still tring to use it
[07:47] <GirlyGirl> ma1: Then go to the kernel website and download the source from there
[07:47] <rkhshm> and when i pgresp for that proxy server I dont see it running
[07:47] <rkhshm> sacarlson: hmm.. so how do i fix this?
[07:48] <sacarlson> rkhshm: so I guess you need to change your proxy settings
[07:48] <rkhshm> how do i fix apt-get to use "no proxy" ?
[07:48] <sacarlson> rkhshm: I'm not sure how you set them up so you must be the expert not me
[07:48] <tanath> rkhshm, it looks like your system is trying to use one nonetheless. it failed because a local port wasn't allowing it
[07:48] <Guest60004>   
[07:48] <Guest60004> GirlyGirl here's my lspci: http://pastebin.com/Yi8KfxYN
[07:49] <sacarlson> rkhshm:  might be better to google how to set it to proxy and do the reverse
[07:49] <tanath> Guest60004, frequently killing pulseaudio will do the trick
[07:49] <Guest60004> tanath cool, how do i do that?
[07:49] <tanath> Guest60004, pkill pulseaudio
[07:49] <rkhshm> sacarlson: here is the interesting part.. I started the proxy server and tried apt-get and it still failed
[07:49] <Guest60004> tanath didn't work :-/
[07:49] <GirlyGirl> Guest60004: Can you monitor your cpu usage while playing audio
[07:49] <tanath> Guest60004, switch everything you can to use alsa directly...
[07:49] <rkhshm> so if proxy was being used by apt-get it should have worked when i started the proxy server
[07:49] <tanath> well, it was worth a shot
[07:49] <rkhshm> but it didn't
[07:50] <ma1> GirlyGirl: but if i want to use the code for my installed kernel
[07:50] <GirlyGirl> ma1: Its the same code!
[07:50] <sacarlson> rkhshm: I'm not sure, what changes did you make to setup the proxy?
[07:50] <Guest60004> GirlyGirl i'll try, not sure how though, ill do a google
[07:51] <rkhshm> sacarlson: i only launch the server and change port numbers in the browser... that's all..
[07:51] <tanath> does anyone know or if 'top' is installed by default?
[07:51] <rkhshm> But i've shut it down already
[07:51] <GirlyGirl> Guest60004: use "top" in terminal
[07:51] <tokinwhiteman> top
[07:51] <rkhshm> tanath: yes top is installed by default
[07:51] <tanath> htop is better, but if 'top' is what's there..
[07:51] <sacarlson> rkhshm: oh how did changing the browser proxy effect the apt-get?
[07:52] <Guest60004> GirlyGirl well doesnt seem to be using that much cpu
[07:53] <Guest60004> 12%
[07:53] <tanath> rkhshm, you might assume that, but not if the proxy is having issues. can you avoid routing through the proxy?
[07:53] <GirlyGirl> Guest60004: Does the crackling occur with all sound applications?
[07:53] <sacarlson> rkhshm: well I google and found this is how proxy is set in apt-get export http_proxy=http://yourproxyaddress:proxyport
[07:53] <ma1> GirlyGirl: what about patches made by Ubuntu....also my installed kernel version difference?
[07:54] <tanath> Guest60004, test with aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
[07:54] <sacarlson> rkhshm: so I guess something must have done that?  if so how is that reversed?
[07:54] <rkhshm> tanath: 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 fine
[07:54] <Guest60004> GirlyGirl only noticed it with banshee (which i uninstalled) and now rhythmbox
[07:54] <Guest60004> tanath nothing played, sound wise
[07:54] <Guest60004> with that command
[07:55] <tanath> rkhshm, IIRC when you set the proxy in gnome it is generally used by the rest of the system too
[07:55] <sacarlson> rkhshm: changing your browser proxy has no effect on apt-get as far as I know
[07:55] <tanath> Guest60004, that's not right
[07:55] <tanath> !soundtroubleshooting | Guest60004
[07:55] <GirlyGirl> ma1: apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)
[07:55] <tanath> hrm
[07:56] <tanath> Guest60004,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure
[07:56] <rkhshm> sacarlson: yes That's what is worrying me.
[07:56] <Guest60004> cool, i'll try rebooting, brb
[07:56] <tanath> sacarlson, depends how he set it
[07:57] <ma1> GirlyGirl: ۔....E: Failed to fetch some archives.
[07:58] <Guest46192> hi
[07:58] <GirlyGirl> ma1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/SourceCode
[07:59] <pyarun> Hi, Ctl-r is not working in my gnome shell. how can i configure it
[07:59] <sacarlson> tanath: ya looks like 3 or 4 ways that apt-get can aquire proxy but I see no docs on how to disable it
[07:59] <rkhshm> tanath: dont know what is happening.
[07:59] <ma1> GirlyGirl: Great Great Thanks for your help.
[07:59] <ma1> GirlyGirl: Thanks again :)
[07:59] <tanath> rkhshm, did you set proxy in network manager?
[07:59] <rkhshm> tanath: no
[07:59] <tanath> that's generally how it happens
[08:00] <mr_boo> is there a way of finding out if the card EN7950GX2 http://www.cyberindian.net/2006/08/25/asus-unveils-en7950gx22pht1g-graphics-card/ is supposed to work with ubuntu?
[08:01] <mr_boo> i get random freeze and restart even when using the live CD !!
[08:01] <mr_boo> no problem with card in windows xp
[08:01] <tomasz> jhi
[08:01] <tomasz> hi
[08:01] <rkhshm> tanath: ok ok.. now i remeber.. I had changed the proxy for my works earlier and forgot about reverting it back as "system-wide change"
[08:01] <tanath> rkhshm, do 'echo $http_proxy' in terminal
[08:01] <rkhshm> now i reverted it to system wide
[08:01] <rkhshm> and it works now.
[08:01] <tomasz> some body know how big partition can use with ubuntu ?
[08:01] <goddard> http://askubuntu.com/questions/120640/unity-toolbar-icons-disappear-on-boot
[08:01] <tanath> rkhshm, ah, thought so
[08:02] <rkhshm> sacarlson: thanks for you're help
[08:02] <rkhshm> tanath: thanks for you're help
[08:02] <tanath> np
[08:02] <tokinwhiteman> tonasz: could you be a little more specific?
[08:02] <tomasz> tokinwhiteman, becouse i have problem with big partition
[08:03] <Jordan_U> tomasz: 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] <tomasz> tokinwhiteman,  ubuntu dont start if is too big
[08:03] <tomasz> tokinwhiteman,  i create 100gb partition and dont work
[08:03] <tomasz> tokinwhiteman,  i resize to 15gb and it work
[08:03] <tokinwhiteman> is it a dual boot?
[08:03] <mr_boo> has anyone ever used this card successfully with ubuntu? http://www.gameguru.in/images/asus-dual-gpu-card.jpg
[08:03] <Jordan_U> tomasz: How are you creating this partition and what happens when you try to boot from it?
[08:04] <tomasz> i got error i grub : out of disk
[08:04] <tomasz> i have ext4 , kernel 3.0.0-17 and grub 2
[08:04] <tomasz> i create in gparted
[08:05] <tomasz> ext4 partiotion
[08:05] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | tomasz
[08:06] <tanath> tomasz, 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 it
[08:06] <tanath> without chainloading
[08:07] <tomasz> tanath,  hmm i chek it
[08:07] <tomasz> check
[08:07] <tanath> tomasz, unless you formatted the drive in a way that disables lba...
[08:07] <tanath> then you'd have to reformat
[08:07] <tanath> well, or get into chainloading
[08:08] <StepNjump> Do anyone know of a way to drag a file or folder without having to keep the finger pressing on the mouse button while moving? I know in a different OS, I could hold down my mouse key and then it would stick and then I could easily move the file across the nautilus and then whenever I would press on it again, it would release the file/folder
[08:09] <elijah> How do I do a refresh aka sudo apt-get update in the software center?
[08:09] <BigNuke> elijah: i think apt-get update does the trick in the software center as well
[08:10] <tomasz> can i check in linux  is lba on ?
[08:10] <sw> elijah: you use Update Manager
[08:10] <elijah> BigNuke: Do you know a way a user can initiate within software center itself? I don't mind doing it but wondering for future ref
[08:11] <BigNuke> i'm afraid not - but should "users" be able to do this in the first place?
[08:11] <tomasz> tanath can i check in linux  is lba on ?
[08:12] <tanath> StepNjump, what about cut/copy & paste with ctrl+x/c & ctrl+v ?
[08:12] <tanath> tomasz, not sure. would be simplest to boot to bios and enable it
[08:12] <tomasz> ok
[08:14] <elijah> Is there a way to have sudo apt-get install do a dry run and tell me what version will be fetched?
[08:14] <tanath> elijah, it should tell you that before doing it
[08:14] <kevlar_> that's a good question
[08:15] <tanath> elijah, or you could use synaptic
[08:15] <elijah> tanath: thanks
[08:16] <BigNuke> elijah: yes, synaptics or apt-cache search <name>
[08:16] <tanath> elijah, or, you might want to use --no-download
[08:16] <tanath> BigMao, synaptic. synaptics is touchpad driver
[08:17] <elijah> thanks guys, those should lead me in the right direction
[08:17] <tanath> elijah, --no-download courtesy of 'man apt-get'\
[08:17] <mr_boo> is there a way of finding out if the EN7950GX2 card is supposed to work with ubuntu? http://www.gameguru.in/images/asus-dual-gpu-card.jpg
[08:18] <sw> mr_boo: yes, you check the list of supported hardware
[08:18] <BigNuke> tanath: yes, that the touchpad driver. my bad ^^
[08:20] <GirlyGirl> Hi, does anyone know of a music player application with an interface similar (by album artwork tiles) to WMP and iTunes. Preferably a qt application
[08:21] <mr_boo> sw: thanks
[08:21] <BigNuke> foobar
[08:21] <sw> mr_boo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/ - if you didn't already find it
[08:21] <mr_boo> sw: i concluded that the card is supposed to work :(
[08:22] <tanath> GirlyGirl, banshee?
[08:22] <tanath> GirlyGirl, itunes itself?
[08:22] <sw> !player | GirlyGirl
[08:23] <tanath> BigNuke, foobar doesn't really work on linux anymore
[08:23] <BigNuke> dang... thats sad
[08:23] <tanath> deadbeef ought to be added to the list for audio. it's about the only thing that'll play virtually everything
[08:24] <tanath> though audacious is good too and comes close
[08:24] <GirlyGirl> tanath: I'm more after a qt interface. The only ones I know of are amarok, clementine and juk
[08:24] <sw> tanath: update it then
[08:24] <mr_boo> ubuntu hates my geforce 7950GX2 card so bad it even crashes from the live CD http://www.gameguru.in/images/asus-dual-gpu-card.jpg
[08:24] <mr_boo> this sux
[08:24] <tanath> GirlyGirl, enh, i don't like any of those. amarok was best once upon a time..
[08:24] <tanath> sw, update the list? i'm not an op
[08:24] <tanath> sw, just a random visitor...
[08:25] <fidel> GirlyGirl: i would always suggest to use clementine - but maybe tomahawk is something for you
[08:25] <goddard> can anyone help me with this problem http://askubuntu.com/questions/120640/unity-toolbar-icons-disappear-on-boot
[08:25] <sw> tanath: anyone can submit requests, ops just need to approve them - <ubottu> Your edit request has been forwarded to #ubuntu-ops.  Thank you for your attention to detail
[08:26] <sw> goddard: ask it here
[08:26] <goddard> sw: my toolbar icons disappear on boot
[08:26] <tanath> sw, hrm
[08:26] <GirlyGirl> fidel: So far I prefer amarok. Its just that I would prefer if it could allow you to browse music by album artwork instead of a long list
[08:26] <tanath> sw, so how would one go about that then?
[08:27] <sw> tanath: tell the bot
[08:27] <tomasz> tanath thx for help
[08:27] <tanath> sw, can i tell it xine is crap, and smplayer should replace it in video list? :P
[08:27] <sw> tanath: message it with: '<trigger> is <...>'
[08:28] <tanath> tomasz, np. if that fails and you need something else, i highly recommend boot-repair: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[08:28] <tomasz> tanath,  i set LBA assistence and now work with big partitions
[08:28] <sw> goddard: unity?
[08:28] <goddard> yep
[08:29] <sw> goddard: seen a few folks mention that re-installing can solve that - haven't experienced it myself
[08:29] <sw> goddard: unity I mean, not Ubuntu
[08:29] <tanath> sw, so you'd send 'is <edited version here>'?
[08:29] <goddard> sw: reinstalling?
[08:29] <sw> goddard: '$ sudo apt-get purge unity', restart and login to the classic environment and '$ sudo apt-get install unity'
[08:30] <tanath> sw, i don't think a restart is needed there, just logging out
[08:30] <goddard> sw: who knows what that will do
[08:30] <sw> tanath: you'd send: 'tanath is a user in the #ubuntu IRC channel', and then when !tanath is triggered, you'll see <ubottu> sw: tanath is a user in the #ubuntu IRC channel
[08:30] <StepNjump> tanath: nah...
[08:31] <tanath> sw, so yes, full edited version. ty
[08:31] <StepNjump> tanath: Im too lazy
[08:31] <sw> tanath: yes, because it overwrites what's already there - it's a bot, not a scientist
[08:31] <tanath> StepNjump, derp?
[08:31] <awet> how to squid error pages
[08:31] <tanath> sw, i was under impression it'll be reviewed first though
[08:32] <swabedor> ALSA lib pcm.c:7316:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred  <--- sound stutters when using performous. :)
[08:32] <sw> goddard: I told you already, that'd re-install unity
[08:32] <Geron> Preparing to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04. Does anyone know if SVN repos and MySQL databases will "survive". Or if I must export/import them?
[08:32] <sw> tanath: it will, but you need to use the full version, edit it, and paste the new full version
[08:32] <tanath> sw, yeah got that. that was my question, which you answered
[08:32] <awet> how to change squid error pages
[08:32] <StepNjump> tanath: what is derp? an app?
[08:33] <tanath> StepNjump, no, it's a nonsense word since i have no context for your comments to me
[08:33] <swabedor> ALSA lib pcm.c:7316: ( snd_pcm_recover ) underrun occurred
[08:33] <tanath> StepNjump, taken from 'herp derp' which you're free to google :P

[08:34] <Al_nz1> how do I change the port for vnc4server?
[08:34] <goddard> sw I know that would reinstall unity .. but I don't want to reinstall that might screw something up.. I'd rather fix the issue if possible.
[08:35] <sw> goddard: how can you "screw up" something that's already screwed up?
[08:35] <tanath> goddard, reinstalling can almost never break things
[08:35] <tanath> it can often fix thigns though
[08:36] <swabedor> sound stutters using performous other applications ok
[08:36] <swabedor> ALSA lib pcm.c:7316:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred
[08:36] <sw> !patience | swabedor
[08:36] <goddard> sw i dont have time to reinstall my whole OS and all apps if reinstalling blows up my system
[08:36] <sw> Al_nz1: check if you have a file at: /etc/xinetd.d/Xvnc?
[08:37] <tanath> swabedor, buffer underrun implies it can't keep up. buffer is not staying fed. you could use some system resource monitors to see where your bottleneck is or just play with settings
[08:37] <sw> goddard: re-installing a desktop environment won't break your system - it's just the environment ...
[08:37] <goddard> sw ok it then
[08:41] <Geron> Preparing to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04. Does anyone know if SVN repos and MySQL databases will "survive". Or if I must export/import them?
[08:41] <tanath> Geron, third-party repos get disabled, but you can reenable them again after
[08:42] <tanath> er
[08:42] <tanath> Geron, sorry, read too quickly
[08:42] <goddard> sw nope didn't work
[08:42] <Al_nz1> sw: I dont have /etc/xinetd.d
[08:42] <Al_nz1> I have installed vnc4server
[08:42] <goddard> sw logged out and logged into unity 2D then logged out and logged into unity and still no toolbar icons
[08:42] <Al_nz1> I can only seem to get it to listen on 5901
[08:43] <tanath> Geron, i don't see why svn would be affected. databases i'm sure can be upgraded if need be, if the apps using them aren't backwards-compatible
[08:43] <blackrock> Could anyone identify this error: https://imgur.com/Gm7zR I'm trying to boot Ubuntu with more than a dozen drives (3 LSIs)
[08:43] <Geron> tanath: I'm just fearing that a upgrade will require alot of hands-on stuff.
[08:44] <tanath> Geron, make a backup? try a dual-boot?
[08:44] <Geron> tanath: Guess I should test the upgrade in a isolated environment first. To make sure database and/or SVN repos (served) survives..
[08:45] <Geron> tanath: Its a live production environment, can dualboot. And I would rather not backup 20TB of database files...
[08:45] <Geron> *cant dualboot.
[08:45] <tanath> blackrock, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1702818
[08:46] <tanath> Geron, lol, indeed. testing any change like that is best on one box first... if you don't want it out of commission, dual-boot is a possibility to test with
[08:47] <tanath> Geron, if updated version works, delete old partition and give it to new. etc
[08:48] <blackrock> tanath, it boots with 14 or so HDs. But not more. I'm confused.
[08:50] <tanath> blackrock, can't say i have any experience with that, but perhaps a more up-to-date kernel would handle it better?
[08:50] <tanath> blackrock, 3.3 has quite a few improvements over your version :P
[08:51] <apporc> there are some files, which i always need to force write with vim . Do you why /
[08:51] <tanath> apporc, read-only?
[08:52] <blackrock> tanath, I'm stuck with 10.04. Feels stable :P I'll try upgrading the kernel though
[08:52] <apporc> tanath: yeah
[08:52] <tanath> blackrock, 10.04 is this |--| close to dead though...
[08:52] <goddard> sw no luck
[08:52] <BlakJak> blackrock: I was a 10.04 stalwart... 12.04 is the next lts and is worth a look even now.
[08:52] <tanath> blackrock, but yes, you can have multiple kernels installed, so... not hard to test
[08:53] <apporc> tanath: yeah , it's readonly, but with 'w!' ,you can force write it .
[08:53] <tanath> indeed
[08:53] <apporc> tanath: i don't know, why this is happening.
[08:53] <blackrock> Ok, thanks. Hmm, now to think about upgrading between two LTSs...
[08:54] <tanath> apporc, there's your answer then. it will ask as long as it's read-only. it's not meant to be changed, hence the permission. either remove read-only permission, or accept it
[08:54] <BlakJak> blackrock: ubuntu website has specific info on doing that, iirc
[08:55] <BlakJak> I installed beside my 10.10 (dont ask) and dragged individual items across from the old /home - no worries at all.
[08:55] <apporc> tanath: i am root, i have write permission on it.
[08:55] <tanath> apporc, do you own the file though?
[08:55] <apporc> tanath: yes
[08:55] <tanath> permission-wise
[08:55] <apporc> tanath: that file is belongs to root too.
[08:56] <tanath> ls -l file
[08:56] <intore> hi, always me about difficulties using internet from the console. my steps:i configured /etc/network/interfaces as follow in paste, i set grub to start with console, i set nm-system-settings.conf to disable NetworkManager and i reboot. Once rebooted i check eth1 with ifconfig and it doesn't keep the ip address.
[08:56] <intore> http://paste.ubuntu.com/923023/
[08:56] <apporc> tanath: it's '600'
[08:57] <schangm> hello, when trying to apt-get dist-upgrade, I'm getting "ia32-libs: Recommends: ia32-libs-multiarch but it is not installable"
[08:57] <tanath> apporc, i don't use numbered permissions. useless obfuscation
[08:57] <intore> The command ifup eth1 gives me the output "interfaces eth1 already configured, ifdown eth1 gives me RTNETLINK answer: No such process-SIOCDELRT: No such process, other time with ifup eth1 is ok and eth1 is set with the ip address. but pinging the server gives me "Destination Unreachable". In pastebin you can see the files /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and /var/log/syslog during the time logged in the console. UNGSANTE password is WPA-PSK[
[08:57] <blackrock> Thanks for the advice all. I'll let you know of my progress. Bye.
[08:57] <schangm> release (in sources.list) is oneiric
[08:58] <schangm> I have tried swithcing to "precise" but that does not solve anything
[08:58] <apporc> tanath:  got it. it's because of selinux ....
[08:58] <apporc> tanath: thanks .
[08:58] <tanath> apporc, ah, if you're playing with that, yeah..
[08:58] <tanath> careful
[08:58] <UBUxUBU> can ubuntu run faster by creating a swap file on a fast flash drive instead of making the typical swap on a hard drive?
[08:59] <Womkes> What is currently the best/most secure IRC bouncer software?
[08:59] <Womkes> Any recent development in that area?
[08:59] <tanath> UBUxUBU, generally flash will be slower than hdd
[08:59] <sacarlson> intore: I was able to make a script with a wpa-supplicant.conf that works for me on a working system in wep,  but I don't have a wpa2 capable ap to test the reset
[08:59] <sacarlson> rest
[08:59] <UBUxUBU> i mean for caching small things
[09:00] <tanath> UBUxUBU, if you're talking usb3 with old IDE drive...
[09:00] <intore> do you think is a problem of wpa-supplicant?
[09:00] <sacarlson> intore: I also noted in my research that my raylink won't work in 11.10 but works fine in 10.04
[09:00] <intore> have you seen the log i paste
[09:00] <sacarlson> intore: it seems for me it's in the drivers for raylink
[09:01] <sacarlson> intore: I've seen your other logs
[09:01] <intore> network interface?
[09:01] <UBUxUBU> hmm so my ole 7200 rpm sata beats a sandisk cruzer flash drive for memory caching?
[09:01] <tanath> UBUxUBU, caching small things may be different, but i'm no expert
[09:03] <tanath> UBUxUBU, 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 questionable
[09:03] <sacarlson> intore: you config files look like they should work,  and that log looks like others that are having this problem
[09:03] <intore> others people?
[09:03] <sacarlson> intore: so solution would be to run the older working kernel and wpa-supplicant match
[09:03] <UBUxUBU> i wonder if the swap was zero but if you made a 4 gig swap on a flash driver if buntu would use it
[09:04] <tanath> UBUxUBU, linux uses swap partitions, but yes i think it'll use whatever swap partition is available
[09:04] <sacarlson> intore: yes other people as in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1857635
[09:05] <UBUxUBU> i gotta feeling that if u dont make a HD swap it makes on for u...on the HD
[09:05] <tanath> UBUxUBU, http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/07/add-virtual-ram-to-ubuntu-using-spare.html
[09:06] <sacarlson> intore: my script that works on 10.04 http://paste.ubuntu.com/923032/
[09:06] <thirdknife> I want to set system wide proxy in ubuntu 10.04
[09:06] <intore> i've 10.10
[09:06] <thirdknife> what command will do the purpose
[09:06] <sacarlson> intore: and example wpa-supplicant.conf for wep http://paste.ubuntu.com/923032/
[09:07] <sacarlson> intore: so you can try 10.04 iso see if that kernel works for you if so you can install the working kernel in 10.10
[09:07] <tanath> thirdknife, you can do so in network manager
[09:08] <intore> mmm, this is new for me, really!
[09:08] <MariusKarthaus> Hi 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] <intore> i never work on the kernel
[09:08] <thirdknife> tanath, it is not available  in 10.04 xubuntu
[09:08] <intore> i never worked on the kernel
[09:09] <UBUxUBU> nice link tanath
[09:09] <sacarlson> intore: the kernel is much like a package in ubuntu not much more to it
[09:10] <sacarlson> intore: I guess you don't need to try the iso  just import the kernel package to try it I guess
[09:10] <sacarlson> intore: if it fails your net or fails to boot you can just pick the original from grub to boot again
[09:10] <intore> i never did it and i don't want make damages!
[09:10] <OerHeks> MariusKarthaus, 12.04 is multi-arch, but you better join #Ubuntu+1 for pangolin support untill release.
[09:11] <VOITHISTE> Hello 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 password
[09:11] <intore> could you suggest me a guide about this argument please?
[09:11] <sacarlson> intore: other posible solution is to find the working driver set and compile them onto your present kernel
[09:13] <sacarlson> intore: 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/Linux
[09:14] <intore> sacarlson: which lines on log tells you is a problem of kernel/driver/wpa?
[09:14] <sacarlson> intore: I'm not booted onto my 11.10 so I'm not sure what  it has but it's like 3.0.xX
[09:14] <zatan> hi how can i remove Set User ID's on files ?
[09:15] <sacarlson> intore: it's very much a guess I didn't have time to study your logs
[09:15] <intore> ah ok
[09:15] <intore> i posted it on the forum
[09:16] <sacarlson> intore: but if you read the example link you will see some similarities
[09:16] <sacarlson> intore: yes but I only glanced at it
[09:16] <VOITHISTE> Hello I would like to know why ubuntu keeps asking root password instead of sudo. Any suggestions to fix that would be welcome :).
[09:17] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: what command are you entering
[09:17] <sacarlson> intore: 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 did
[09:17] <VOITHISTE> not just a command everything that needs sudo password\
[09:17] <VOITHISTE> software center for example
[09:17] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: have you previously set a root password?
[09:18] <VOITHISTE> No
[09:18] <bluefrog> VOITHISTE, 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 scheme
[09:18] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: so what happens when you run software center?
[09:18] <mrintegr1ty> bluefrog: you miss understand his problem
[09:18] <bluefrog> ok
[09:18] <VOITHISTE> If i try to install a software it asks for Root password instead of sudo For every app
[09:19] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: does it put up a window saying "enter root password" or what do you mean?
[09:19] <VOITHISTE> yes
[09:19] <mrintegr1ty> thats odd
[09:19] <VOITHISTE> excactly it asks root password
[09:19] <StepNjump> In 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?
[09:20] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: did you add yourself to the "admin" group?
[09:20] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: when you installed ubuntu, it has a checkbox when you add the default user "add this user to administrators group"
[09:20] <intore> i don't see similarities between my log and that one you proposed me.
[09:20] <VOITHISTE> Actually i had a sound problem and i think that i did added my shelf there
[09:20] <yandex381> StepNjump: Alt->F->D->E. Traverses the Nautilus menu
[09:20] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: if you open a terminal (gnome-terminal) and type "id" wihtout quotes what does it say
[09:20] <Geron> Ubuntu and iSCSI. When (if?!) will Ubuntu support multiple initators on a single target?!
[09:21] <intore> anyway, thanks
[09:21] <intore> hope for the forum
[09:21] <sacarlson> intore: other than wpa didn't work but non encrypted did?
[09:21] <VOITHISTE> uid=1000(xristos) gid=1000(xristos) ομάδες=1000(xristos),29(audio)
[09:21] <VOITHISTE> uid=1000(xristos) gid=1000(xristos) teams=1000(xristos),29(audio)
[09:21] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: you are not in the admin group
[09:22] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: as root run "gpasswd -G admin xristos"
[09:23] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: that will add your user to the admin group and you should now be able to use sudo
[09:23] <VOITHISTE> Wait i am confused
[09:23] <intore> sacarlson: i don't uderstand what you mean
[09:23] <VOITHISTE> you mean log in as root (sudo su) and then run the command?
[09:23] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: if you know the root password, you can use "su -" to become root once and run that command i showed you
[09:24] <sw> !root
[09:24] <sacarlson> intore: its seems related in the sence that you both have the same simptums that link to not working driver to wpa-supplicant
[09:24] <VOITHISTE> i dont know the root password
[09:24] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: 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 root
[09:24] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: ah
[09:24] <StepNjump> yandex381: anything else like a quicker keyboad shortcut like shift ctrl something?
[09:24] <VOITHISTE> The problem is i dont know the root password
[09:24] <VOITHISTE> if i knew it everything would be alright :)
[09:25] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: that kinda sucks, it's a littl ebit of a hasstle to recover the root password. Simple but annoying
[09:25] <Geron> VOITHISTE: In Ubuntu, the root user doesnt have a password (unless you set one manually)
[09:25] <sw> VOITHISTE: have you ever set the root password?
[09:25] <sacarlson> intore: 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 10.04
[09:25] <VOITHISTE> No only a sudo( you know the one that instalation forces you to have)
[09:25] <sw> VOITHISTE: '$ sudo passwd root' and enter a password, then '$ sudo gpasswd -G admin xristos'
[09:26] <yandex381> StepNjump: 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] <Geron> No, dont give root a password..
[09:26] <Geron> No need.
[09:26] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: 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 it
[09:26] <intore> but the problem you mean is about drivers doesn't work using wpa_supplicant?
[09:26] <sw> VOITHISTE: after you've solved your problem, disable it again with '$ sudo passwd -dl root'
[09:26] <sacarlson> intore: I'll later explore using my 10.04 kernel on 11.10 maybe later today
[09:27] <mrintegr1ty> sw: 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 advice
[09:27] <Geron> sw: If VOITHISTE can sudo, there is no need to set a root password to add a user to a group.
[09:27] <sw> mrintegr1ty: he's never set a root password, so he can just set one
[09:27] <sacarlson> intore: yes why does your wifi device not work without encryption or have you not yet verified that fact?
[09:27] <VOITHISTE> I cant sudo
[09:27] <mrintegr1ty> sw: no, as his user is not in the admin group, his user doesnt have permission to do that
[09:27] <Geron> sw: No he cant, cause he cant sudo!
[09:28] <VOITHISTE> Thanx for your support guys
[09:28] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: you can accept advice from others or you can listen to one person
[09:28] <Geron> VOITHISTE: follow mrintegr1ty's advice.
[09:28] <VOITHISTE> i will
[09:28] <intore> you mean to try a free connection?
[09:28] <intore> no password?
[09:28] <sacarlson> intore: I also tried the legacy raylink encryption driver that also don't work in 11.10
[09:28] <StepNjump> found ctrl shft e
[09:28] <VOITHISTE> just a last thing when i try to log in as sudo at terminal this comes up
[09:28] <VOITHISTE> xristos is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported
[09:29] <VOITHISTE> I dont know if it help any further
[09:29] <intore> 11:24 < sacarlson> intore: its seems related in the sence that you both have the same simptums that link to not working driver to wpa-supplicant
[09:29] <sacarlson> intore: yes I have my own wifi network so I can experiment on that maybe you don't have that resorce
[09:29] <sw> VOITHISTE: that's telling you that you're not in the sudoers file - which you already knew
[09:29] <VOITHISTE> :)
[09:30] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: 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] <intore> sacarlson>  a question: i haven't problem using this network interface with network manager, what is the different of use?
[09:30] <mrintegr1ty> oh well, he left
[09:30] <intore> between console and X?
[09:31] <sacarlson> intore: 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 sure
[09:32] <sacarlson> intore: in wicd you can select between legacy and wpa2 ext  to posibly verify what is the difference
[09:33] <sacarlson> intore: or you can try the script I gave you to experment with it,  but my rt73 don't have wpa support imbedded in the driver
[09:35] <VOITHIAS> Ok i am back :) What do i have to do with CHROOT
[09:35] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: 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] <VOITHIAS> I HAVE INSTALLED UBUNTU MORE THAN  TIMESI N A WEEK
[09:35] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: chill
[09:35] <VOITHIAS> so i will choose live cd method
[09:35] <VOITHIAS> :)
[09:36] <VOITHIAS> i am already in live cd (actually it is a usb stick anyway)
[09:36] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: 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 instructions
[09:36] <VOITHIAS> it is the same
[09:36] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: great so yo uhave internet, that makes it simpler
[09:36] <VOITHIAS> Yes
[09:37] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: open a terminal and type sudo -i, as it's the live env it won't ask for a pass and you will be root
[09:37] <intore> 11:24 < sacarlson> intore: its seems related in the sence that you both have the same simptums that link to not working driver to wpa-supplicant
[09:37] <VOITHIAS> Yep root ..
[09:37] <sacarlson> intore: I already read that
[09:37] <intore> sacarlson: am sorry, many problem with electricity
[09:38] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: next, you need to know where ubuntu is installed on the disk, do you already know that information? (the partition number
[09:38] <VOITHIAS> hm no
[09:38] <intore> is a mistake
[09:38] <intore> but, how to configure without password?
[09:38] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: if not, and assuming it's the only operating system installed (not dual boot) run "fdisk -l"
[09:39] <VOITHIAS> Give me a second i have windows too
[09:39] <intore> don't i have to use wpa_supplicant.conf file?
[09:39] <sacarlson> intore: what a typo?  it's my problem maybe a part of yours,  maybe yours works in lagacy but not wpa-supplicant
[09:39] <VOITHIAS> ex partition at /dev/sda5
[09:39] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: paste the output from fdisk -l to pastebin.com
[09:40] <VOITHIAS> http://pastebin.com/tvZigiev
[09:40] <sacarlson> intore: yes I posted my wpa_supplicant.conf file as an example but mine configured to wep,
[09:40] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: great, looks like ubuntu is on sda5
[09:40] <mrintegr1ty> as you said
[09:40] <sacarlson> intore: maybe you didn't get it??
[09:40] <VOITHIAS> OK
[09:41] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: 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 jackd
[09:41] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: and then, "chroot /mnt/ubu"
[09:41] <intore> ok, but setting my wifi network without password how could i do?
[09:41] <sacarlson> intore: my experiments included using wicd
[09:41] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: after running the chroot command, any additional command you run will be "inside " your installed ubuntu
[09:41] <walidvb> i installed ffado, but i think i need to configure ffado to use the right firewire
[09:41] <VOITHIAS> Ok
[09:42] <VOITHIAS> everything don
[09:42] <sacarlson> intore: for that you would need to have admin rights on your access point to turn off encryption
[09:42] <VOITHIAS> done*
[09:42] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: now you can run "gpasswd -G admin xristos"
[09:42] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: tell me what output u get, if any
[09:42] <VOITHIAS> gpasswd: invalid option -- 'G'
[09:43] <intore> i know, am talking about /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
[09:43] <VOITHIAS> and a rest of useless options
[09:43] <wauf> japanese room language?
[09:43] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: ah sorry, -a not -G
[09:43] <intore> how to set no passwd there
[09:43] <sacarlson> intore: I bypassed the /etc/network/interfaces in my script
[09:43] <VOITHIAS> gpasswd: user 'admin' does not exist
[09:44] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: oops.. gpasswd -a xristos admin
[09:44] <sacarlson> intore: I don't want to mess with my system settings I just run different scirpts to get the results I need
[09:44] <intore> ah
[09:44] <VOITHIAS> Adding user xristos to group admin    (i think that this means succes right?)
[09:44] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: great yeah
[09:44] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: do you know the password for the user xristos`
[09:44] <mrintegr1ty> ?
[09:44] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: I ask because if not, this is a good time to set it
[09:45] <VOITHIAS> Yes
[09:45] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: otherwise you should be ready to reboot and use the installed ubuntu
[09:45] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: so exit the chroot (press ctrl d
[09:45] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: then umount /mnt/ubu
[09:45] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: then reboot
[09:45] <intore> you mean you don't know how to configure wpa_supplicant.conf file?
[09:45] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: and hopefully you can use your password as you would expect
[09:46] <sacarlson> intore: yes I have two wpa-supplicant.conf files I gave you the one I have tested that works
[09:46] <VOITHIAS> Ok "hopefully" it will work thanx for the help. And one last thing now that i am at live enviroment
[09:46] <VOITHIAS> If i increase the size of my partition will it corrupt ubuntu?
[09:46] <sacarlson> intore: my script still links to the conf file
[09:46] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: depends how you do it
[09:46] <VOITHIAS> last time i tried it corrupted it
[09:47] <lokai> hi, could someone explain why there is a "(0)" next to my username on the commandline on a fresh install ubuntu 11.04?
[09:47] <VOITHIAS> i have 16GB of unallocated space in my hard drive
[09:47] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: 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 beginners
[09:47] <VOITHIAS> i want to allocate them at ubuntu
[09:47] <intore> but you set a password in wpa_supplicant.conf file i think
[09:48] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: then it should be quite straight forward but I still don't recommend it
[09:48] <VOITHIAS> So i cant increase the size?
[09:48] <VOITHIAS> without setting my installation to danger of course
[09:48] <sacarlson> intor: wpa-supplicant.conf   http://paste.ubuntu.com/923032/  and script that runs it http://paste.ubuntu.com/923032/
[09:48] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: yeah you can but it's up to you if you trust your own skills
[09:49] <intore> are the same files!
[09:49] <sacarlson> intore: yes I set my access point to wep to test it
[09:49] <sacarlson> opps
[09:49] <intore> the same script
[09:49] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: 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 self
[09:49] <VOITHIAS> And ubuntu is supposed to be user friendly ;)
[09:50] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: 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 confidence
[09:50] <geirha> I'd say 99.9% of the time. I've done alot of partitioning with gparted, without problems.
[09:50] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: resizing any  partition if you are not an experienced user is never going to be 100% safe
[09:51] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: regarldes of OS
[09:52] <sacarlson> intore: I seem to have some problem pastebinit my conf file
[09:52] <VOITHIAS> Anyway .. 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 time
[09:52] <jpollard> VOITHIAS: Why are you trying to resize the partition anyway? Just out of curiosity.
[09:52] <mrintegr1ty> geirha: 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 real
[09:52] <VOITHIAS> i have allocated a small amount of size thats all
[09:52] <sacarlson> intore: http://pastebin.com/22vK3puK
[09:52] <VOITHIAS> of Mbs.
[09:52] <sacarlson> intore: not sure why It didn't work in nautilus
[09:53] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: when you installed ubuntu you probably did not select "add this user to the administrators group"
[09:53] <sacarlson> intore: oh it still didn't work
[09:53] <geirha> VOITHIAS: Just make sure you have a backup of all the files you can't afford to lose, then follow the partitioning howto
[09:53] <VOITHIAS> Perviously i could log in as sudo but today i couldnt
[09:53] <VOITHIAS> geirha i have a back up in an other partition :)
[09:53] <sacarlson> intore: something about sending config files on pastebin it says it's spam?
[09:54] <geirha> VOITHIAS: You should have a backup on a separate medium
[09:54] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: 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 issue
[09:54] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: give it a try anyway
[09:54] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: reboot i mean
[09:54] <jpollard> VOITHIAS: When you say login, do you mean you couldn't login as root, or the 'sudu' command wouldn't work?
[09:55] <jpollard> ^'sudo'
[09:55] <mrintegr1ty> jpollard: the sudo command woulndt work. he was not in the "admin" group which explains it
[09:55] <VOITHIAS> sudo
[09:55] <intore> i've seen it
[09:55] <VOITHIAS> If 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 :).
[09:56] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: just reboot and put an end to the suspense ;)
[09:56] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: you have to come back to tell us it worked
[09:56] <VOITHIAS> OK
[09:56] <VOITHIAS> then i will come back
[09:56] <mrintegr1ty> gl
[09:56] <VOITHIAS> Just give me 5 minutes i am checking something at a website
[09:56] <mrintegr1ty> sure
[09:57] <intore> sacarlson: is your network with free access?
[09:58] <sacarlson> intore: It's unencrypted public access if that's what you mean but you still need to login to have access to wan
[09:58] <sacarlson> intore: I run a public ISP part of it runs on wifi
[09:59] <intore> what is this? wep_tx_keyidx=0
[10:00] <intore> and aaaaaaaaa is the password?
[10:00] <sacarlson> intore: use key# 0  there are 4 keys to pick from in wep
[10:00] <sacarlson> intore: yes
[10:01] <sacarlson> intore: in wep that's a hex password
[10:01] <Geron> Ubuntu and iSCSI. When (if?!) will Ubuntu support multiple initators on a single target?!
[10:02] <intore> ok, a question. if i want to try without password what do i have to write in conf file?
[10:02] <mrintegr1ty> Geron: try #ubuntu-server
[10:02] <intore> after configuring my router
[10:02] <sacarlson> intore: you don't need a conf file if it's unecrypted you don't need wpa-supplicant
[10:03] <intore> ok
[10:03] <jpollard> lokai: That shouldn't happen. If you view the properties of your home folder, does it have '(0)' after it?
[10:03] <intore> i try now and i'll come back
[10:03] <Deep_ThoughtIII> hallo
[10:03] <sattu94> Hi, I wrote my fstab incorrectly and now the partition on which it exists has itself become read only. How do I access my fstab to make the changes ?
[10:03] <Deep_ThoughtIII> looser
[10:04] <mrintegr1ty> sattu94: mount -o remount,rw /
[10:04] <mrintegr1ty> sattu94: just off the top of my head, might work
[10:04] <sattu94> mrintegr1ty: yes, but the fstab file itself has become RO
[10:05] <mrintegr1ty> sattu94: yeah but if you remount /  as rw then you can edit fstab
[10:05] <quiescens> its just a command, if you still have a functioning command line or terminal
[10:05] <sattu94> mrintegr1ty: okay, cool
[10:05] <sattu94> lemme chekc
[10:07] <sacarlson> intore: here's a legacy setup with no encryption example http://paste.ubuntu.com/923077/  the commented out parts are lagacy wep encryption setup
[10:07] <lokai> jpollard, no. I've found it, is is referencing "$?" in my PS1 def
[10:07] <lokai> jpollard, I don't know what the hell the variable `?` is, though.
[10:07] <mrintegr1ty> lokai: it's the exist status of the last command
[10:08] <mrintegr1ty> lokai: try running $? in a terminal
[10:08] <lokai> mrintegr1ty, thanks.
[10:08] <lokai> yeah.
[10:08] <sattu94> mrintegr1ty: Thanks, it works!
[10:08] <mrintegr1ty> sattu94: nice
[10:08] <lokai> why anyone would want that in PS1 is beyond me.
[10:08] <mrintegr1ty> lokai: indeed
[10:09] <lokai> but indeed, it's in the system-wide bashrc in 11.04
[10:09] <mrintegr1ty> lol really
[10:09] <_r00t_> what's '$?' equate to
[10:09] <mrintegr1ty> _r00t_: read above
[10:09] <mrintegr1ty> 10:07 < mrintegr1ty> lokai: it's the exist status of the last command
[10:09] <mrintegr1ty> s/exist/exit
[10:09] <_r00t_> mrintegr1ty, ... I've only just joined missed the conversation
[10:10] <mrintegr1ty> _r00t_: if you open a terminal and type $? you will get a single number representing the exit status of the previous command
[10:10] <mrintegr1ty> _r00t_: usefull in scripts
[10:10] <_r00t_> mrintegr1ty, LOL ic
[10:11] <mrintegr1ty> _r00t_: actually you have to echo it
[10:11] <mrintegr1ty> _r00t_: or it will run the exit status as if it were a command it's self
[10:11] <mrintegr1ty> so "echo $?"
[10:12] <_r00t_> must admit - whoever wants it in PS1 must be running the same command over and over again
[10:12] <walidvb> i installed ffado, but i think i need to configure ffado to use the right firewire
[10:12] <walidvb> i need that to be used by jackd, but the source is not showing.
[10:12] <walidvb> i have 2 firewire ports, one on the motherboard, one as a PCI card
[10:12] <walidvb> on the PCI is connected a motu
[10:13] <walidvb> but the firewire doesn't show up on jack input list
[10:13] <_r00t_> today is the last day for 10.04
[10:14] <mrintegr1ty> _r00t_: for what
[10:14] <_r00t_> 10.10 I mean KIK
[10:14] <_r00t_> LOL
[10:14] <mrintegr1ty> lol
[10:15]  * _r00t_ upgraded 10.10->11.04->11.10 a few days back but I also installed Arch
[10:17] <walidvb> no one familiar with audio devices and drivers? :(
[10:18] <mrintegr1ty> walidvb: probably better to ask in the forums for that kind of question
[10:18] <dlentz> walidvb, try the studio subforum. they're good with jack
[10:18] <walidvb> there is noone on #ffado
[10:19] <walidvb> dlentz: what is the chan name?
[10:19] <intore> sacarlson: i set no passwd but it does't connect
[10:19] <Matte88> only want to know what linux-virtual is, why is needed? Should I use that if I'm installing Ubuntu (guest) INto VirtualBox?
[10:20] <dlentz> walidvb, i was suggesting making a post here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=335
[10:20] <mrintegr1ty> Matte88: it's just a virtula package
[10:20] <walidvb> right sorry i didn't see 'forum'
[10:20] <mrintegr1ty> Matte88: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/linux-virtual
[10:20] <mrintegr1ty> Matte88: not related to virtual machines
[10:20] <walidvb> thanks, i'll give it a try, but i'm trying to get smth to work in the next 2 hours :D
[10:21] <dlentz> walidvb, i guess you could also try #ubuntustudio
[10:21] <mrintegr1ty> Matte88: lol yeah it is actually
[10:21] <mrintegr1ty> Matte88: if you read that link it explains
[10:21] <intore> sacarlson: are you online?
[10:22] <walidvb> dlentz: great i'll do both
[10:22] <walidvb> thanks!
[10:22] <dlentz> yw
[10:22] <Matte88> mrintegr1ty: so, it's the right choice when users install Ubuntu as guest into VirtualBox, instead of selecting linux-general. Am I right?
[10:26] <VOITHIAS> Dude it worked :)
[10:26] <VOITHIAS> I am Sude again
[10:26] <VOITHIAS> Sudo*
[10:26] <dlentz> i sense a power trip in your future!
[10:28] <elijah> How can I install a specific version of PHP?
[10:29] <sw> elijah: what version?
[10:30] <elijah> sw: 5.2.17
[10:30] <sw> elijah: '$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:andphe/php && sudo apt-get update' and install it
[10:31]  * _r00t_ asks what is the best xbmc ppa ?
[10:31] <sw> _r00t_: probably ppa:team-xbmc/ppa?
[10:31] <elijah> sw: sudo apt-get install php-5.2.17?
[10:32] <_r00t_> sw yeah but they don't have eden stable ?! Let me check again
[10:33] <elijah> sw: Would this be supported on 12.04? https://launchpad.net/~andphe/+archive/php, is only listing up to 11.10
[10:34] <_r00t_> yep team/xbmc => 2:11.0~git20120321.14feb09-0ubuntu1~ppa1~oneiric
[10:35] <sw> elijah: #ubuntu+1
[10:35] <elijah> sw: thanks, I will ask over there about 12.04 but I am wondering if I need to run another command after apt-get update?
[10:36] <elijah> sw: Yeah, not gonna work on precise
[10:36] <winterdj> I'm running 11.10 and I'm unable to use the chmod +a command to set acl permissions - does ubuntu not support it?
[10:37] <Matte88> winterdj: is the file in a directory that is not in your home?
[10:37] <sw> elijah: have a look at the info. here: https://launchpad.net/~txwikinger/+archive/php5.2. you can use older packages and pin them
[10:37] <demonboy> how do i add a java plu[]-i ( [] key broke)
[10:37] <winterdj> Matte88: I have a test file in my home directory that it's failing on
[10:38] <Matte88> winterdj: try right-click on it and check the box for making it executable
[10:38] <demonboy> firefox
[10:38] <winterdj> Matte88: running over ssh on ubuntu server
[10:38] <elijah> sw: K, thanks, should I remove the PPA I just added then?
[10:38] <Matte88> winterdj: try with sudo then
[10:38] <winterdj> has 775 perms
[10:38] <winterdj> tried with sudo
[10:38] <sw> elijah: no, that's the info. for it
[10:38] <sw> elijah: it's the same user
[10:39] <winterdj> Matte88: just seems like the chmod doesn't know about +a
[10:39] <Matte88> winterdj: strange... chmod should be in all distros
[10:39] <winterdj> Matte88: chmod is present
[10:39] <FrankJameso> what would +a do?
[10:39] <FrankJameso> +all?
[10:40] <winterdj> but +a it says is unknown flag
[10:40] <winterdj> FrankJameso: it's for setting acl permissions
[10:41] <winterdj> I guess it's not available in ubuntu. Is in Mac OS X and Fedora by the looks of it
[10:41] <Matte88> winterdj: from man chmod
[10:41] <Matte88> ""
[10:41] <Matte88>       A combination of the letters ugoa controls which users' access to the file will be changed: the user who owns it (u), other users in the file's group (g),
[10:41] <Matte88>        other users not in the file's group (o), or all users (a).  If none of these are given, the effect is as if a were given, but bits that are set in the

[10:41] <Matte88>        The operator + causes the selected file mode bits to be added to the existing file mode bits of each file; - causes them to be removed; and = causes them

[10:41] <lokai> hm, anyone know why `ls ~/.bashrc` returns $HOME//.bashrc? and not $HOME/.bashrc?

[10:42] <winterdj> Matte88: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8768417/how-to-enable-chmod-a-in-centos
[10:42] <sw> elijah: yes
[10:44] <Matte88> winterdj:  chmod a+x file1
[10:45] <winterdj> Matte88: I understand what a+x does, but this is a special command +a which sets ACL permissions
[10:45] <winterdj> but doens't look like Ubuntu has it - so that answers my question :)

[10:47] <pk> Hello, Hallo, Salut Help
[10:47] <pk> Pb wiht sound card
[10:48] <sw> pk: French?
[10:49] <fidel> pk: do you have a problem? if so - feel free to start with a description (english) ;)
[10:49] <pk> yes, but englich and germain possibilité
[10:49] <sw> !fr | pk
[10:49] <pk> ok
[10:50] <pk> I have no Sound i think pb whith configuration
[10:50] <elijah> sw: I am not following those instructions, the pinning is for 5.2.10*, should I just replace that with 5.2.17*?
[10:51] <sw> elijah: yes, if that's the version in the PPA
[10:52] <albech> i am installing a VNC server on a remote 10.04. I can only get the vnc server to work on user level, which means no login prompt is presented to the users. I have to build a vnc desktop to each user.. is that normal? vnc4server
[10:52] <elijah> sw: Then would I have to add another repo after that?
[10:53] <bk__> bk
[10:53] <sw> elijah: what do you mean? use the PPA with 5.2.17 -> pin 5.2.17 -> update and install
[10:54] <elijah> sw: the ppa with 5.2.17 gives error 404 when trying the path "W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/andphe/php/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found"
[10:55] <sacarlson> albech: maybe you want like x11vnc with a virtual frame buffer http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/
[10:55] <sw> elijah: because that link doesn't exist ...
[10:55] <mrintegr1ty> Matte88: when i install ubuntu as a virtual machine, i choose "minimal virtual machine". don't know how to select a virtual specific desktop installtion
[10:55] <albech> sacarlson, thanks will look at that
[10:56] <sw> elijah: if you're trying to use this with Precise, please move the discussion to #ubuntu+1 as requested
[10:56] <elijah> sw: I am also doing that, I am getting a suggestion to just build from source.
[10:57] <sw> elijah: that's another option, and possibly easier
[10:58] <sacarlson> albech: and you will need to look into xvfb setup like here http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/faq.html#faq-xvfb
[11:01] <loxs> which package installs the 'do-release-upgrade' command?
[11:02] <mrintegr1ty> loxs: install apt-file and then run apt-file update; apt-file search do-release-upgrade
[11:03] <loxs> mrintegr1ty, thanks
[11:05] <xiaohardy> ah
[11:09] <bk__> Hello

[11:17] <IboS> i've set up an ssh server what tools can i use for monitoring login attempts ?
[11:18] <jewjitsu> Hey.
[11:18] <jewjitsu> I need some help, please.
[11:18] <jewjitsu> I am on Ubutnu 12.04, I ran the additional drivers tool, and it is saying no proprietary drivers are in use on this system.
[11:18] <jewjitsu> How do i proceed?
[11:19] <jewjitsu> Hello?
[11:20] <auronandace> jewjitsu: 12.04 support in #ubuntu+1 until release
[11:20] <jewjitsu> Thanks.
[11:22] <IboS> woa
[11:25] <meadhikari> Hey, why is this not working echo "http://google.com" | wget I get wget missing url
[11:25] <_r00t_> I forgot : How do I force remove a package but not cascade and remove dependencies
[11:26] <Pumpkin-_> meadhikari: because wget (and most programs) by default don't take input from STDIN. Try "-i -" on the wget to make it do that.
[11:29] <Urtokk> exit
[11:29] <Urtokk> exit
[11:30] <_r00t_> Anyone ?
[11:30] <_r00t_> I forgot : How do I force remove a package but not cascade and remove dependencies
[11:30] <_r00t_> ie with the nodeps switch
[11:31] <meadhikari> Pumpkin-_, I was piping to " nmcli con up uuid" any chance to make it take input from STDIN?
[11:32] <cristian> hay alguien ?¿
[11:35] <arcsky> which tftp server do you guys recommend?
[11:38] <_r00t_> ok .... thanks for answering ... the correct answer is : apt-get install librtmp0=2.3-2ubuntu1
[11:39] <antono> dudes, where is ubuntu screencasts team located now?
[11:41] <popey> antono: it's kinda dead really
[11:46] <ysaimanoj> how to load a ccsm profile from command line?
[11:47] <artium> What is my best options if I bought a printer of a new company and Ubuntu can't find drivers automatically for it?
[11:47] <artium> It is Pantum p1000 printer. Came with no official linux drivers.
[11:48] <mrintegr1ty> artium: is that a new brand or something?
[11:48] <artium> Yes
[11:49] <mrintegr1ty> artium: i know nothing about that particular brand or model. does it support printing over network or just usb?
[11:49] <AdvoWork> anyone know where google chrome puts pdf's after a file > print to pdf ?  no location box is shown, can't find the file anywhere
[11:49] <mrintegr1ty> artium: it's unlikely to be supported if it's completely new and the vendor does not officially support linux
[11:49] <OerHeks> artium if the manufacturor doesn't provide drivers, and it is not in http://www.openprinting.org/printers/ , sorry
[11:49] <mrintegr1ty> AdvoWork: probably your currnet working directory
[11:50] <artium> mrintegrity: How would I know this?
[11:50] <mrintegr1ty> artium: do you connect it to your computer with a usb cable?
[11:50] <artium> Yes
[11:50] <mrintegr1ty> artium: does the printer have other ports on the back, for example an rj45 port
[11:50] <auronandace> artium: check their site for linux drivers
[11:50] <ysaimanoj> Thank you so much @erry
[11:50] <philipp_> guys im lost... what package do i have to install to get a working gnome 3 on ubutu psomething
[11:51] <ysaimanoj> how to load a ccsm profile from command line?
[11:51] <auronandace> !notunity | philipp_
[11:51] <ysaimanoj> Please help me: How to load a ccsm profile from command line?
[11:51] <artium> mrintegrity: Only usb
[11:52] <mrintegr1ty> artium: my gut feeling on this particular printer after having googled it a bit, is that it's very unlikely that you will be able to make it work
[11:52] <AdvoWork> mrintegr1ty, i thought that, but nothing in there
[11:52] <saimanoj> Please help me: How to load a ccsm profile from command line?
[11:52] <mrintegr1ty> AdvoWork: ~/Downloads ?
[11:52] <mrintegr1ty> AdvoWork: or /tmp/
[11:53] <BlouBlou> artium: You have 3 options. Waiting for drivers (it may take long); exchange it for an older one; or try to find privative drivers and buy them (I don't recommend this option unless you really need that printer)
[11:53] <saimanoj> Please help me: How to load a ccsm profile from command line?
[11:54] <AdvoWork> mrintegr1ty, unfortunately not in either location. Any suggestions?
[11:54] <philipp_> ubottu: cant... unmet dependency... is ther some command to rewrite the /etc/apt/sources.list ? mine is a mess -.-
[11:54] <GirlyGirl> philipp_: ubottu  is a bot
[11:54] <mrintegr1ty> artium: it's possible (although unlikely) that it's just a rebadged printer from another vendor and in that case you might get it working, it might also work with basic ppd drivers but i doubt it. one thing you can do is run lsusb and see if it's listed
[11:55] <philipp_> -.-
[11:55] <philipp_> stop makeing fun of me ad tell me how to reset my /etc/apt/sources.list ><
[11:56] <saimanoj> how to enable/disable the compiz plugins from the command line, without using ccsm?
[11:57] <GirlyGirl> philipp_: http://pastebin.com/HGZBxQ53 ... don't paste after medibuntu
[11:57] <GirlyGirl> philipp_: or use this http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[11:57] <artium> mrintegrity: lsusb not listing it. When I try to add the printer from the GUI, it gets it's model name correctly though. What about ppd, how can I check this?
[11:57] <jamjam> gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1
[11:57] <Mofasa> hey I got a problem with using ssh socks for some reason. I can telnet to the port but when im trying to run it as socks no application will work with it. Here is a log: http://paste2.org/p/1973813
[11:57] <Mofasa> Anyone that know wut might fix this issue?
[11:58] <saimanoj> why is no one answering my problem? please consider my request. If you dont know please direct me to some other channel where i may get the solution.
[11:59] <mrintegr1ty> AdvoWork: sorry no idea
[11:59] <techkid6> I have a noob question.  To make an Ubuntu boot USB, from within a trial of another version of ubuntu, do I just run the Startup Disc Creator with the .iso?
[11:59] <GirlyGirl> saimanoj: I think you can edit compiz, config files
[12:00] <geirha> saimanoj: Well, #compiz is probably worth a shot
[12:00] <mrintegr1ty> saimanoj: noone is answering your question because 1. we don't know or 2. we are doing something else
[12:00] <saimanoj> @jamjam i just did it. waiting for the system to restart
[12:00] <mrintegr1ty> techkid6: you can still install software from within the live cd, in which case you can install unetbootin and use that to create further live usbs
[12:01] <GirlyGirl> saimanoj: You can use nano to open .config/compiz-1/compizconfig/config
[12:01] <saimanoj> mrintegr1ty: thanks for the info.
[12:01] <techkid6> thanks
[12:01] <techkid6> now to wait for the download to finish
[12:02] <saimanoj> @GirlyGirl: i just have to disable/enable few plugins
[12:02] <saimanoj> is it simple enough. its urgent to make it work
[12:02] <GirlyGirl> saimanoj: Then why not use ccsm?
[12:03] <saimanoj> i am unable to. it is not opening.
[12:03] <GirlyGirl> saimanoj: By any chance if you have an unusable GUI because of compiz plugins, use "unity --reset" to default it
[12:03] <saimanoj> due to lot of playing around with it.
[12:04] <saimanoj> after unity --reset, should i restart
[12:04] <saimanoj> it is not yet finished.
[12:04] <GirlyGirl> saimanoj: Login into a tty .. then "cd .config" and "rm -rf compiz-1" and "unity --reset"
[12:04] <Mofasa> hey I got a problem with using ssh socks for some reason. I can telnet to the port but when im trying to run it as socks no application will work with it. Here is a log: http://paste2.org/p/1973813
[12:05] <Mofasa> Anyone that know wut might fix this issue?
[12:05] <GirlyGirl> saimanoj: no need to restart ... do "sudo killall lightdm" and "sudo lightdm" after
[12:06] <saimanoj> @GirlyGirl: its working, thanks a lot. I did not even restart. just killed Xorg.
[12:07] <saimanoj> Thankyou, for the help.
[12:07] <GirlyGirl> saimanoj: You're welcome
[12:07] <GirlyGirl> !tab | saimanoj
[12:08] <_r00t_> safe to uninstall gwibber and gwibber-service ?
[12:09] <bastidrazor> GirlyGirl: sudo service lightdm stop    and sudo service lightdm start   are much better than sudo kill
[12:09] <Mofasa> _r00t_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/gwibber-service
[12:09] <saimanoj> GirlyGirl: Thanks for the information, about tab.
[12:10] <Mofasa> also see: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/gwibber
[12:11] <saimanoj> bastidrazor: the command of lightdm says that the service is not found. What does it mean?
[12:11] <bastidrazor> saimanoj: what command did you type?
[12:13] <saimanoj> bastidrazor: sudo service lightdm stop
[12:13] <bastidrazor> saimanoj: if you had killed it before then it won't be found.
[12:13] <saimanoj> bastidrazor: i killed Xorg and it restarted automatically. thats all
[12:14] <bastidrazor> saimanoj: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[12:14] <mrintegr1ty> service lightdm restart
[12:15] <Ivoz> anyone know where PATH_MAX is defined?

[12:15] <saimanoj> bastidrazor: thank you for making it crystal clear.

[12:16] <saimanoj> Bye eveyone. Have a nice day.
[12:16] <philipp_> guys i DO NOT GET a window manager at any cost.... what package is that window manager?
[12:16] <GirlyGirl> philipp_: What do you mean ? also what version of Ubuntu is this?
[12:17] <Ivoz> anyone know what I should include to get PATH_MAX?
[12:17] <philipp_> GirlyGirl i upgraded to the new ubuntu 12.4 gnome starts but the windows have no frame

[12:23] <anti_theocon> is there a debian room here on freenode?

[12:25] <delinquentme> ZOMG so I'm reading this awesome thing posted on torrents: http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_m299o9nZTX1r3556bo1_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAI6WLSGT7Y3ET7ADQ&Expires=1334146698&Signature=vA01v8gzX7H2vzuOZ7lGUchNy2c%3D and I'm looking up how to encrypt torrents with "transmission" ... and someone said that transmission comes with encryption pre-enabled ?
[12:27] <intore> hi, i don't resolve the problem with my wifi network interface at boot with console. this morning i set wifi connection free, without passwd but i doesn't connect. please take a look of syslog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/923190/
[12:27] <sacarlson> intore: what's you console script look like for this free config?
[12:28] <ikonia> intore: what am I looing at / for in that syslog
[12:28] <intore> ?
[12:28] <intore> what?
[12:28] <deployment> hello people
[12:28] <ikonia> intore: what am I looking for in your syslog ?
[12:28] <railsraider> Hi i'm having errors on my log Error 1 sending the modular data for swap_total#012 and for a bunch of otehrs
[12:28] <railsraider> anyone knows why?
[12:29] <ikonia> railsraider: please ask again, but try to word it so it makes sense
[12:29] <LiNuX`sup> how can I enable image preview in "network" folders? 12.04/gnome3
[12:29] <ikonia> LiNuX`sup: same as 11.10 and earlier in the nautilus prefernces, please ask for 12.04 help in #ubuntu+1
[12:29] <matteo75fe> when the 12.04 is coming out????
[12:29] <auronandace> !topic | LiNuX`sup
[12:29] <intore> ikonia: if you could understand something about connection problem
[12:29] <sacarlson> intore: this is what a script looks like without encryption http://paste.ubuntu.com/923077/
[12:29] <ikonia> intore: there is no mention of a connection problem in there
[12:30] <intore> sacarlson: i didn't any script, is it necessary?
[12:30] <ikonia> intore: the only thing I see of any relevence is the failure to get a dhcp address
[12:31] <sacarlson> intore: you wanted to connect with console so you want to type all that?
[12:31] <intore> ikonia: and about avahi-autoipd(eth0)
[12:32] <ikonia> intore: what about it ?
[12:32] <intore> sacarlson: is not enough configuring /etc/network/interfaces?
[12:32] <intore> ikonia: which interface is it?
[12:32] <sacarlson> intore: sure that's an option so if that's the method of choice lets see what your interfaces looks like with no encrytion
[12:33] <ikonia> intore: sorry what ?
[12:33] <intore> sacarlson: do you want to see my interfaces file?
[12:34] <intore> ikonia: avahi-autoipd(eth0)
[12:34] <sacarlson> intore: yes if that's your method of choice let's see the file
[12:35] <ikonia> intore: what about it ?
[12:35] <ikonia> intore: you're just saying words, do you actually have a question ?
[12:35] <intore> sacarlson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/923198/
[12:36] <joe___> I'm running LibreOffice 3.5.1.2 on both Ubuntu and Windows 7. When I'm in Windows and I go to view as slide show it changes the font. Anyone seen this?
[12:36] <rarog> подскажите русский
[12:36] <intore> ikonia: i asked about avahi-autoipd(eth0) line in my syslog. i don't know which interface is it
[12:36] <Ivoz> delinquentme: it's whether the network stream when transferring data is encrypted, it should be a setting somewhere in transmission.
[12:37] <wylde> !ru | rarog
[12:37] <ikonia> intore: its interface is "eth0"
[12:37] <sacarlson> intore: last time your eth1 was wifi and eth0 was wired
[12:38] <intore> ikonia: yes, eth0 is wired, eth1 is wifi
[12:38] <intore> sacarlson: yes, eth0 is wired, eth1 is wifi
[12:38] <ikonia> intore: again...so what is your actual question ?
[12:38] <sacarlson> intore: there are no errors or even an attempt on eth1 in your logs
[12:39] <intore> ikonia: what is avahi-autoipd(eth0)?
[12:39] <delinquentme> Ivoz, so if I set it to "prefer encryption" I should be good right?
[12:39] <ikonia> intore: a warning on your eth0 device to say it's being auto configured at a hardware level
[12:39] <intore> sacarlson: so am without hope?!?!
[12:40] <Ivoz> delinquentme: or force. 99% of torrent clients should support it these days
[12:40] <intore> ikonia: thank you!
[12:40] <sacarlson> inkonia: no it should work fine as long as you setup your /etc/network/interfaces file correctly without encryption I would think it would work
[12:41] <sacarlson> opps wrong person
[12:41] <intore> sacarlson: on syslog there are not errors, interfaces is correct, no encryption! where can i look to find the problem?
[12:42]  * _r00t_ is still clearing up - installed - local or obsolete
[12:42] <intore> sacarlson: is it no-sense!
[12:42] <sacarlson> intore: I asked to see a pastebin of your /etc/network/interfaces  in this mode without encryption,  I can't help without seeing what you did wrong
[12:43] <intore> sacarlson: haven't you seen it?
[12:43] <sacarlson> intore: nope you didn't change it?
[12:44] <sacarlson> intore: ok I got it I just missed it and it's missing some data in it
[12:45] <sacarlson> intore: it has no info about what access point
[12:45] <intore> sacarlson: ah!
[12:45] <sacarlson> intore: if your going to use the interfaces file method then you will have to research the setup
[12:45] <intore> sacarlson: i don't know how do it
[12:46] <sacarlson> intore: nor do I I just use scripts
[12:46] <rkhshm> i installed vsphere client on ubuntu(11.10) via wine. when i use the search bar to find the application I can do so.. But when i click it nothing happens.
[12:46] <rkhshm> how do i fix this?
[12:46] <wylde> !wifi | intore
[12:47] <sacarlson> intore: this might be all that needed to add wireless-essid <ESSID>
[12:48] <sacarlson> intore: I see it used here as in the legacy method of encryption http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=42296
[12:50] <sacarlson> intore: did you at least try network-manager before all this?
[12:50] <rkhshm> guys any ideas?
[12:50] <wylde> rkhshm: you might have better luck in #wine
[12:50] <ikonia> rkhshm: wmware client applications are known to be rubbish in wine
[12:50] <rkhshm> wylde: ok..
[12:51] <rkhshm> ikonia: damn

[12:55] <admininja> Hi 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 tty
[12:57] <nesusvet> ды
[12:57] <sacarlson> admininja: maybe it's trying to mount some file system that it can't find and I guess doesn't need?
[12:57] <nesusvet> sorry
[12:57] <admininja> sacarlson: might be, how do I go about troubleshooting it ?
[12:57] <geirha> _r00t_: that's what happens when you switch to another user
[12:57] <admininja> sacarlson: It has a hardware RAID that isnt my friend today
[12:58] <sacarlson> admininja: hard for me without seeing the boot sequence but take out all uneeded mounts from /etc/fstab to start
[12:58] <admininja> sacarlson: Still i was able to install the base system on it and I can even boot it
[12:58] <_r00t_> hmmmmm fair point geraldh ... I'll be doing this on the console ... would it really matter ?
[12:59] <bastidrazor> _r00t_: startx -- :1  may be what you're looking for.
[12:59] <sacarlson> admininja: is it some strange disk interface or maybe raid?
[12:59] <admininja> sacarlson: SAS Raid
[12:59] <_r00t_> bastidrazor: I hope so... now how do I wrap that into upstart ?
[13:00] <admininja> sacarlson: It only shows the raid, the swap and the floppy disk in fstab
[13:00] <admininja> sacarlson: could it be due to the floppy ?
[13:00] <admininja> sacarlson: It also complains about UUIDs :S
[13:00] <sacarlson> admininja: that must be the reason then,  maybe boot the system from non raid device but then that just defeats having raid so?
[13:00] <admininja> sacarlson: true dat..  I need atleast a RAID1 config
[13:01] <sacarlson> admininja: why would it complain about uuids did you like just direct copy the system onto a different disk drive?
[13:01] <admininja> sacarlson: nope.. clean install from USB pen onto the RAID
[13:02] <admininja> sacarlson: "server" install
[13:02] <admininja> sacarlson: could it be that its taking a UUID from ONE of the disks in the raid, while the install took its from the RAID itself
[13:02] <admininja> ?
[13:06] <Progster> what's the easiest way of setting up a send-only email server on ubuntu? I just need to set up an email for a project tracking tool
[13:06] <bcurtiswx> How do I search for what package provided the file libg2c.so.0 ?
[13:06] <mike> 1201
[13:06] <admininja> Progster: Ubuntu Server with "mail" server install.. its default
[13:07] <admininja> admininja: the configs are easy just google them.. dovecot and postfix
[13:07] <admininja> Progster..
[13:07] <Progster> Don't worry, I talk to myself all of the time
[13:07] <admininja> Well somebody gotta do it
[13:07] <admininja> ;)
[13:07] <ggochev> :)
[13:07] <Progster> well dovecot is pop3/imap. I just need smtp. I'll look into postfix
[13:08] <admininja> Progster: then sendmail
[13:08] <admininja> :)
[13:08] <Progster> I installed sendmail. Not sure how to configure it tho
[13:08] <Pici> Progster: http://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ will be helpful
[13:09] <Progster> I don't want to get into configuring more than I have to (I'm really talking about DNS)
[13:09] <chroot> how can i remote control  media player in ubuntu with a phone?
[13:10] <admininja> Progster: 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 hard
[13:10] <Progster> the question is: do I need to have DNS setup correctly?
[13:10] <marcus> Anyone 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..
[13:11] <bcurtiswx> Anyone know if libg2c was merged in with another program, like gfortran or gcc ?
[13:11] <admininja> Progster: not really i think
[13:11] <admininja> Progster: I never did and it worked ;)
[13:11] <Progster> pkg: error: unknown option --reconfigure
[13:11] <bcurtiswx> or how to search for which package holds libg2c
[13:11] <auronandace> !find libg2c | bcurtiswx
[13:12] <Progster> it's sudo dpkg-reconfigure sendmail
[13:12] <admininja> spot on
[13:13] <bcurtiswx> auronandace, thanks. I have a source code that uses libg2c and I'll need to replace it with something.. I thought maybe gfortran would handle it, but IDK for sure
[13:13] <admininja> as long as the mail domain is forwarded to your box/ip it should work, Progster
[13:16] <Progster> nope it's not working admininja
[13:17] <Progster> not sure how to check which mail domain is being forwarded tow here
[13:17] <Progster> where
[13:19] <shaneo> hey 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 time
[13:20] <ikonia> shaneo: if you connect them both to the public internet, you'll find it pretty hard
[13:21] <wavded> any buddy know how to allow locks on files in a mounted drive?
[13:21] <ikonia> wavded: sorry what ?
[13:21] <shaneo> ikonia, only wifi will connect via public the ethernet is just a direct link
[13:21] <ikonia> shaneo: then sure
[13:21] <shaneo> ikonia, how so ?
[13:21] <ikonia> shaneo: just configure the ethernet on the same network as the ps3
[13:21] <wavded> i have a perl script that stopped working when i hosted it from a mounted drive
[13:22] <wavded> because it can't obtain a file lock
[13:22] <ikonia> wavded: why has it stopped working ?
[13:22] <wavded> says permissions denied
[13:22] <ikonia> wavded: ok, so you need to look at how the perl script is creating the lock file
[13:22] <ikonia> wavded: I suspect your permissions are wrong based on that error
[13:22] <shaneo> ikonia, yeah i have the direct link setup with the ps3 but want wifi for surfing puroposes
[13:22] <wavded> they are 777 on everything around the file
[13:22] <ikonia> shaneo: ok, now connect the wifi to the public internet
[13:22] <ikonia> wavded: what file ?
[13:22] <wavded> the folder the file, etc
[13:23] <ikonia> wavded: what file system is on the mounted drive ?
[13:23] <shaneo> ikonia,
[13:23] <shaneo> ok
[13:23] <shaneo> it switches of of eth0 and goes to wlan0
[13:23] <ikonia> shaneo: what does ?
[13:23] <wavded> ext3 i believe
[13:23] <shaneo> my pc
[13:23] <ikonia> wavded: where is the perl script trying to write a lock file to ?
[13:23] <wavded> they are all ubuntu server (the mount and the two webservers that hook into the mount)
[13:23] <ikonia> shaneo: are they on the same network range ?
[13:24] <wavded> i'll check
[13:24] <shaneo> ikonia, yes ubuntu is only allowing me one connection at a time
[13:24] <shaneo> either wifi or eth not both
[13:24] <ikonia> shaneo: not what I asked
[13:24] <ikonia> shaneo: what is the ip address of wired connection ?
[13:24] <shaneo> yes they are
[13:25] <wavded> if 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.html
[13:25] <shaneo> ikonia, 10.1.1.0
[13:25] <ikonia> shaneo: what is the ip address of the wifi card ?
[13:25] <shaneo> 192.168.1.67
[13:26] <ikonia> shaneo: ok, so what is the default route ?
[13:26] <shaneo> default is wifi
[13:26] <_r00t_> triple X servers running but how can I tell which server is active on the console ? I need to script something
[13:26] <fruitwerks_> lets say I have an offline ubuntu install and I want to edit X file to disable cron from starting when I boot, where can this be done?
[13:26] <chroot> hi, how to use the  bluetooth in ubuntu?
[13:26] <ikonia> shaneo: no, what is the default gateway address
[13:26] <dackyshawn> hello?
[13:26] <ikonia> hello
[13:27] <shaneo> ikonia, oh sorry 10.1.1.1
[13:27] <dackyshawn> ok i guess it is still working sorry
[13:27] <dackyshawn> i thought my chat client stopped receiving messages haha
[13:27] <fruitwerks_> or can I add something to rc.local to keep cron from starting?
[13:27] <ikonia> shaneo: ok, so that means when your wifi is up, it is trying to route out of the wired connection, that is not good
[13:28] <_r00t_> something like  cat /var/run/ConsoleKit/database
[13:29] <Progster> Trying to run sendmail from command line, get up to "enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself", and then it does nothing
[13:29] <shaneo> ikonia, 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 10.1.1.10
[13:29] <wavded> ikonia: 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] <shaneo> and 10.1.1.2
[13:29] <ikonia> shaneo: that sounds possible
[13:30] <ikonia> shaneo: that doesn't change what I said though
[13:30] <shaneo> lol so how can i get them to coexist
[13:30] <ikonia> wavded: they should still exist, let me do a little research
[13:30] <wavded> ikonia: thanks
[13:30] <ikonia> shaneo: sort your routing out, your default route needs to be the wifi gateway (not the wifi ip - but wifi gateway)
[13:32] <shaneo> ok ill figure some things out ill bb
[13:32] <shaneo> thanks for all your help as usuall

[13:48] <craigbass1976> I'm trying to run audio out of my phone into the mic or line in jack on a computer.  I see that there's a signal registering.  I'm getting nothing out the speakers.  Sound is fine otherwise.
[13:48] <mneptok> munsking: are you in North America?
[13:48] <dackyshawn> BioBuny: not sure that u can use windows sound drivers with linux
[13:48] <munsking> mneptok: nope, do i need to be? o.O
[13:48] <dackyshawn> i dont think ndiswrapper works in this case
[13:48] <mneptok> munsking: only if you want to telephone Canonical support for low cost. at leats last i knew.
[13:49] <BioBuny> Sigh.. that be my luck:) So any clue how to get sound out of this machine other then beating it with a hammer:)
[13:49] <mneptok> *least
[13:49] <dackyshawn> BioBunny: what's the sound card?
[13:49] <munsking> mneptok: ah ok.. yea im not gonna call em :) it's not a huge bug, i just cant see the hardware info, rest works fine

[13:54] <tomgeorge> anyone here?
[13:55] <tomgeorge> where can I find help on Glade Interface Designer?
[13:56] <kmh42> How can I set the default Audio Input Device?
[13:56] <fidel> tomgeorge: maybe a starting point: http://glade.gnome.org/
[13:56] <tomgeorge> fidel, checked it out...
[13:56] <tomgeorge> I don't need help with designing...
[13:56] <_r00t_> leaves one last question.... how do I start 3 xsessions at boot ?
[13:56] <tomgeorge> The problem is linking my program with the gui
[13:57] <nemetroid> hi, i'm having a problem with PATH. if i run `ghci`, i get `bash: /usr/bin/ghci: No such file or directory`, but `which ghci` gives `/usr/local/bin/ghci`. if i do `/usr/local/bin/ghci`, the program starts as expected. any ideas?
[13:57] <_r00t_> anyone know ? there's a grand prize :)
[13:57] <fidel> i get the user-mailinglist is a good place to ask then tomgeorge
[13:57] <fidel> *guess*
[13:58] <tomgeorge> fidel, where is it?
[13:58] <Socket-> whenever I try to ssh as a user, I get the following error.

[13:58] <fidel> on the page i posted above maybe? ;)
[13:58] <fidel> tomgeorge: or try the mentioned irc channel mentioned on the same page
[13:59] <HoNgOuRu> I need help, Im getting can't open display when using xrandr or x11vnc
[14:00] <Socket-> even if I do, chmod 777 /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf, I still get permision denied when i try to view it as a user

[14:02] <UICTamale> Has anyone else ever had the problem of gnome terminals suddenly not having scrollbars?
[14:03] <intore> hi, i configured /etc/network/interfaces as you can see in http://paste.ubuntu.com/923329/, i set no passwd on the router wireless but it doesn't connect. on syslog i found the line No network configuration found for the current AP
[14:03] <jrib> Socket-: ls as sudo
[14:03] <intore> Apr 10 15:24:50 dello wpa_supplicant[1111]: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove
[14:03] <tyler_d> UICTamale: have to "take-over" the current unity
[14:03] <Socket-> jrib: 12 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10843 Apr  9 13:25 /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf
[14:03] <tyler_d> UICTamale: to answer your question yes
[14:04] <UICTamale> tyler_d: That sounds about right - I also have a fubar'd 'top bar' on all my monitors
[14:04] <ikonia> intore: just use the network config tool
[14:04] <jrib> Socket-: ls -ld /etc/ /etc/ssl
[14:04] <UICTamale> tyler_d: Did I remove a package I wasn't supposed to?
[14:04] <tyler_d> UICTamale: define that please?
[14:04] <ikonia> intore: remove the entries from /etc/network/interfaces and use the gnome-network-manager tool
[14:04] <Socket-> drwxr-xr-x 103 root root 4096 Apr  9 12:36 /etc/
[14:04] <Socket-> drw-r--r--   7 root root 4096 Apr  9 18:56 /etc/ssl
[14:04] <kapz> geez...where the fudge do I look...I can't print in the office! It just says access denied...
[14:04] <tyler_d> UICTamale: I don't think so, possibly related to video card, however very hard to say
[14:04] <jrib> Socket-: does this answer your question?
[14:04] <fidel> UICTamale: could that be a side effect of those pseudo-funky-hover-scrollbars?
[14:05] <fidel> tried disabling them? still same effect?
[14:05] <Socket-> etc needs 755?
[14:05] <UICTamale> tyler_d: I have permanently viewable but unclickable 'File Edit View Go Bookmarks Help' options in the very top left of my monitor, displayed directly under the far-left unity launcher
[14:05] <intore> ikonia: why? i need to resolve this problem because gdm and lxdm give me problems about login with ldap account credential
[14:05] <jrib> Socket-: etc is already 755.  /etc/ssl is not executable, thus no one can "go in it"
[14:05] <UICTamale> tyler_d: It's like my menu bar is 'still there' visibly but not functionally
[14:06] <Socket-> so when you try to cat a file, the executable flag must be set to read it?
[14:06] <UICTamale> but the scroll bars being gone in gnome-terminal is the more pressing problem
[14:06] <Socket-> i thought thats what the r did
[14:06] <jrib> Socket-: on parent directories, yes of course.  Not on the file itself.
[14:07] <jrib> Socket-: you can view executable permission on a directory as the ability to access what's inside
[14:08] <Socket-> gotcha
[14:08] <Socket-> so, all parent directories, / /etc/ /etc/ssl must have the x flag set in order to view the files within
[14:08] <jrib> Socket-: yes
[14:08] <intore> why in syslog there are line about wpa_supplicant when it's not mentioned in /etc/network/interfaces?
[14:08] <Socket-> thanks
[14:09] <ikonia> intore: you can't login with gdm because they are not setup on the network at that time
[14:09] <UICTamale> tyler_d: what did you mean when you said:  UICTamale: have to "take-over" the current unity
[14:09] <ikonia> intore: use the gnome network toold to confirm you can join the network sucessfully, then look at solutions once you have confirmed that
[14:09] <intore> ikonia: you think?
[14:10] <intore> ikonia: now am using Network Manager
[14:10] <intore> ikonia: but am logged with local account
[14:10] <UICTamale> I can scrollback with xterm and the mousewheel, but there still isn't any scrollbar or scroll indicator of any kind.  In gnome-terminal, when i use the mousewheel it goes through my command history
[14:10] <ikonia> intore: so ?
[14:11] <intore> ikonia: i mean using Network Manager i can connect to internet
[14:11] <DarthFluffy> Guten Morgen Damen und Herren!
[14:12] <ikonia> intore: ok, so note down the configuration settings and apply them to your network interfaces file OR use the "connect on startup" option within the application
[14:12] <BioBuny> Thax for input got sound just really low even with it turn up max..but its something I can work with.. :)
[14:13] <saimanoj> !ubottu
[14:13] <intore> ikonia: ok, thanks.i'll try. don't you ideas about the problem using interfaces file?
[14:13] <intore> ikonia: ok, thanks.i'll try. don't you have ideas about the problem using interfaces file?
[14:14] <saimanoj> !patience
[14:15] <wavded> ikonia: if you were looking at all for that package, don't worry about it, i'll dive in more and let you know if i have any questions, thanks for your help
[14:15] <intore> ikonia: can i show you the syslog trying connection using gdm
[14:15] <ikonia> intore: I don't need to see the syslog
[14:15] <intore> ikonia: why
[14:15] <intore> ?
[14:16] <ikonia> wavded: I'm wondering if this has been merged into the nfs packages in later versions of ubuntu
[14:16] <ikonia> wavded: eg: the rpc package now contains all of these
[14:16] <ikonia> intore: because I know what the problem is
[14:16] <ikonia> intore: I don't need to see a syslog
[14:16] <faweideniu> hello
[14:16] <intore> ikonia: so, you think is about bringing up the interfaces
[14:17] <cuda_> Anyone working with CUDA on UBUNTU here ?
[14:17] <ikonia> intore: I know it is
[14:17] <chai_> someone tell me how to install nvidia driver
[14:17] <MrGizmo757> dose anybody here know anything about the System 76  Ubuntu laptops?
[14:17] <ikonia> MrGizmo757: such as
[14:17] <intore> ikonia: so, where do i have to set "connect on startup"
[14:18] <bastidrazor> chai_: intall 'nvidia-current' in the Software Center
[14:18] <MrGizmo757> i just need a new laptop. i was interested in one. just wondering if they are any good
[14:18] <chai_> is anyone use blackbuntu?
[14:19] <kapz> fuck
[14:19] <MrGizmo757> they only have two models righ tnow. the 14.1 lemur ultra and the 15.6 pangolin performance.  the website dosen't really give a whole lot of detail about them
[14:19] <UICTamale> I think I fixed it - had to do with the option named "Use keystrokes to scroll on alternate screen"
[14:19] <craigbass1976> I'm trying to run audio out of my phone into the mic or line in jack on a computer.  I see that there's a signal registering.  I'm getting nothing out the speakers.  Sound is fine otherwise.  Line in doesn't pass sound through either
[14:20] <fidel> MrGizmo757: why limiting yourself to system76 devices?
[14:20] <vamadir> i have laptop with combo  audio jack. Output working input Notworking. Ubuntu 12.04. But i need use mic also.
[14:21] <hieunguyen> i'm having a big problem with my barcode scanner. It works on Ubuntu, but consistently dropping some digits of the barcode (this does not happen on WIndows). If anyone has experience with this problem, please help.
[14:21] <fidel> vamadir: #ubuntu+1 for 12.04
[14:21] <vamadir> fidel?
[14:22] <UICTamale> All I really want is to be able to scroll my window back while in a byobu or screen session.. is this really the expected behavior? (having to use a key combination like alt-pageup just to see scrollback?)
[14:22] <MrGizmo757> they have driver packages for windows and other OS's too i looked into that.  so i wont be locked in if i get one.  i just use Ubuntu primarily and they promise compatability and they also write driver packages to promise compatability with future releases as well. and as an ubuntu user that is very attrative to me
[14:22] <bazhang> vamadir, support for 12.04 in #ubuntu+1
[14:22] <vamadir> its problem not VERSION. Its problem UBUNTU
[14:22] <bazhang> vamadir, thats the correct channel for it
[14:22] <bazhang> vamadir, 12.04 is Not supported here til then
[14:23] <fidel> MrGizmo757: i'm not into those system76 devices ...but well ... consider that the world worked before that special offer pretty similar ;)
[14:23] <chai_> is anyone use blackbuntu?
[14:23] <ikonia> chai_: it's not supported in this channel
[14:24] <fidel> if that helps pointing out that you shouldnt limit yourself per se to just 1 vendor
[14:24] <vamadir> bazhang. noob?
[14:24] <bazhang> chai_, whats that; it's not an official release, try to find their channel with alis
[14:24] <bazhang> vamadir, that language is not welcome here
[14:24] <chai_> OK :D
[14:24] <bazhang> !alis | chai_
[14:24] <fidel> vamadir: just listen to us - if we point you to #ubuntu+1 - you should as kthere
[14:24] <HoNgOuRu> how can I fix XOpen display failed ?
[14:25] <MrGizmo757> thats true.  i just run into all kinds of headaches somtimes with My current laptop dealing with ubuntu. especialy regressions and such as new releases come out.  system 76 advertises Regression support with their driver packages. that is one of the main things that intrest me.
[14:25] <craigbass1976> hieunguyen, hey, sounds liek my issue.  Can you see that there is sound coming in on the VU meter, just can't hear it?
[14:25] <vamadir> ok. i have laptop with combo  audio jack. Output working input Notworking. Ubuntu VERSION NOT DIFERENT. But i need use mic also.
[14:25] <craigbass1976> hieunguyen, sorry, that was for vamadir
[14:25] <hieunguyen> yes, there is sound when a barcode is scanned
[14:25] <MrGizmo757> the hardware specs also seem to be pretty decent for the price.  i just figure sombody here would probably know somthing about them since they are built around ubuntu.
[14:26] <kmh42> Can sombody tell me how i set the default audio input device in ubuntu 12.04
[14:26] <craigbass1976> fidel, I don't know as vamadir's problem is a 12.04 issue; I'm seeing it in 12.04 but also fedora.  I wonder if it's alsa or pulse, but I've no clue.
[14:26] <sacarlson> intore: so can you ping  192.168.5.1 with your wifi now with this last config?
[14:28] <intore> sacarlson: no, ikonia suggest me to use gnome network tool and i'll try it also but i'd like to resolve from console also
[14:28] <sacarlson> intore: I did too to try network-manager before you spend so much time in console
[14:29] <hplc> is there any way to get the "create shortcut" when right-clicking on the desktop in 11.10?
[14:29] <intore> sacarlson: i know but i don't like to leave unresolved that
[14:29] <jn__> Hi im trying to recover an important odt document with foremost after a crash. Correct me if i'm wrong but i believe foremost pack odt files as zip archives. But if i look in my zip recovery folder there are a TON of zip file all names some kind of number that don't make sense.. how am I suppose to find anything i wonder
[14:30] <Paddy_NI> Hey I installed some adium themes in empathy and now it crashes whenever I try to open the preferences... does anyone know how I reset the config?
[14:30] <sacarlson> intore:  I like to start with something that works then work back
[14:30] <bazhang> Paddy_NI, does empathy support those?
[14:30] <Paddy_NI> bazhang, yeah
[14:31] <Paddy_NI> loads of them work
[14:31] <Paddy_NI> although one did not
[14:31] <Paddy_NI> !enter > Paddy_NI
[14:31] <bazhang> Paddy_NI, what about selecting one of the regular empathy themes
[14:31] <Paddy_NI> Now I am trapped as prefs crashes
[14:31] <Paddy_NI> :-(
[14:31] <Paddy_NI> I even deleted the culprit theme
[14:32] <sacarlson> intore: and one more thing you have to learn how to start a fire before you can build a rocket ship,  start small work your way up
[14:32] <intore> sacarlson: me too, is for that reason i was working on the console because gdm didn't work with ldap account but ikonia told me that is because interfaces didn't startup
[14:33] <kmh42> Can sombody tell me how i set the default audio input device in ubuntu 12.04	
[14:33] <auronandace> Paddy_NI: do you have a .empathy directory in your /home?
[14:33] <Paddy_NI> auronandace, yeah
[14:33] <bazhang> kmh42, using what? pavucontrol or something else
[14:33] <Paddy_NI> shall I delete that
[14:33] <auronandace> Paddy_NI: or rename it yeah
[14:33] <sacarlson> intore: your mixing two problems, you can only solve one at a time
[14:34] <Paddy_NI> auronandace, Okay cheers mate going to try
[14:34] <auronandace> Paddy_NI: renaming it would be safer, just in case there are things in there you need
[14:34] <kmh42> bazhang Using the defauld Ubuntu Audio settings
[14:34] <bazhang> kmh42, tried with the tool I suggested then?
[14:35] <intore> sacarlson: i started with gdm, then lxdm without result, so i tried with console, no result, now i come back to gdm!
[14:36] <intore> sacarlson: in this while i'm learning many things
[14:36] <intore> !
[14:36] <sacarlson> intore: I'm not sure what gdm has to do with your network as graphics are not manditory
[14:36] <vamadir> Who have combo  audio jack? How to doing normal detect hardware? Not detect MIC, only headphones

[14:37] <Asido> now this thing has to be killed - http://youtu.be/047r_ihcLwY
[14:37] <bazhang> vamadir, you've been asked not to crosspost #ubuntu+1 issues here
[14:38] <bazhang> Asido, wrong channel for that
[14:39] <Asido> just thinking loudly
[14:39] <bazhang> Asido, #ubuntu-offtopic for non support chat
[14:39] <Asido> oh, i see :)
[14:39] <Asido> thanks

[14:42] <demonboy> hey guys I'm still having problems with java I just reinstalled ubuntu 12.04 I did all the updates I installed the java plugin through the software center and when I try to play runescape it tells me that have no java
[14:42] <mneptok> kmh42: 12.04 questions really belong in #ubuntu+1
[14:42] <mneptok> demonboy: ^^^^
[14:43] <demonboy> I saw...
[14:43] <GirlyGirl> !pangolin | demonboy
[14:43] <demonboy> Right as I hit enter
[14:43] <mneptok> demonboy: hope the whole day is not like that for you.
[14:43] <bearly230> Morning 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_dev> hi 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 .....)
[14:44] <Mofasa> demonboy: have u implemented the libnpjp2.so aswell ?
[14:44] <mneptok> troulouliou_dev: Firefox needs to be told to download .torrent files, not invoke Miro (or any other app).
[14:44] <troulouliou_dev> mneptok, i mean the "open with" option
[14:44] <demonboy> Mneptok: 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 helping
[14:45] <Mofasa> demonboy: are u listening?
[14:45] <chamku__>  HELP !!! with "No CUDA Capable Device Found" error
[14:45] <demonboy> Yes I'm checking now
[14:45] <craigbass1976> I've booted to 10.04, and have the same problem with audio coming in to line-in or mic jacks are not producing sound out the speakers.
[14:45] <Mofasa> open the terminal and write locate libnpjp2.so
[14:46] <mneptok> troulouliou_dev: right-click a .torrent and edit the prefs for the filetype
[14:46] <bazhang> demonboy, then be patient. this is not the support chan for 12.04
[14:46] <GirlyGirl> !details | chamku__
[14:47] <kmh42> bazhang: How can I set the defauld Microphone in pavucontrolle?
[14:47] <craigbass1976> Although when I try to look at the GUI sound mixer, get "Waiting for sound system to respond," so I haven't actually seen a VU meter jumping around to tell me that there is audio coming in.
[14:47] <sacarlson> bearly230: what software is installed that is not part of  ubuntu repository's ?  I've never had any crashes from a fresh ubuntu 11.10 install
[14:48] <chamku__> Ubuntu 11.04 32 bit | Dev driver, Toolkit and SDK downloaded for CUDA 4.1 | All of them successfully installed |
[14:48] <chamku__> No Errors
[14:48] <bearly230> I've got a whole list of apps that I have installed. The issue only happens when I'm in a web browser. Dosn't matter if I have anything else open or not.
[14:48] <Wargasm> I'm using ubuntu with LXDE, wondering if anyone knows how I can disable touchpad scrolling from causing a switch from one desktop to another... its annoying
[14:49] <sacarlson> bearly230: maybe flash?  I have flash on ubuntu 11.10 but not crashing
[14:49] <chamku__> @ GirlyGirl , @ Ubottu .. Details Given Above
[14:49] <troulouliou_dev> mneptok, thanks :) was so simple
[14:50] <troulouliou_dev> mneptok, the backand conf is in gconf ?
[14:50] <bearly230> I have flash installed for firefox, but chrome uses it's own built in flash.
[14:50] <demonboy> bazhang: it's weird because everything will load correctly but firefox will crash or google chrome crash what is the toy gun works fine dishes every time rune scape will load it crashes  the browser
[14:50] <GirlyGirl> chamku__: 1) ubottu  is a bot ... 2) No errors so what's the problem
[14:50] <mneptok> troulouliou_dev: somewhere on Nautilus' .gconf-y stuff, IIRC
[14:50] <chamku__>  @ GirlyGirl , @ Ubottu When I run SDK example devquery, Error : error while loading shared libraries: libcudart.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[14:50] <bearly230> Is there a log file that I can look at to see what actually crashed?
[14:50] <saimanoj> !ubottu | chamku__
[14:50] <JasonPaul> Hello, I had a quick question in regards to user account creation in Ubuntu 11.10
[14:51] <sacarlson> bearly230: when my system crashed it left no logs, it was hardware mem problems
[14:51] <saimanoj> !ask | JasonPaul
[14:51] <sacarlson> bearly230: can't heart to look in /var/log/syslog
[14:52] <bearly230> I was hoping ubuntu would write to a log when you got kicked back to the login screen.
[14:52] <bearly230> Doesn't act like a hardware issue.
[14:52] <sacarlson> bearly230: oh that's not crashed if you got kicked ot login screen you must of had a session failure
[14:53] <JasonPaul> Does anyone have any experience with turning Ubuntu into a locked down kiosk?
[14:53] <bearly230> Is there a log I can look at?
[14:54] <Al_nz1> why when I connect to my ubuntu box with vnc do I get a blank (but not black) window, with mouse. No icons, not even the option to login
[14:54] <compdoc> Al_nz1, which vnc did you install?
[14:54] <Al_nz1> vnc4server
[14:55] <compdoc> Al_nz1, good, I like that one
[14:55] <compdoc> what OS?
[14:55] <Al_nz1> connecting from Win7 with realvnc
[14:55] <Al_nz1> to ubuntu 11.10
[14:55] <felix688> Hello, anyone know why my ubuntu install only gives me a 2 mbit/s connection when Windows on the same computer gives me 8-10 mbit/s? Testing with speedtest.net
[14:55] <compdoc> UltraVNC is better, but thats not the problem
[14:56] <Al_nz1> bbs
[14:56] <compdoc> Al_nz1, did you run the commands to set you vncpasswd ?
[14:56] <compdoc> your
[14:57] <tyler_d> !netconsole
[14:58] <sacarlson> felix688: for me my internet is time dependent some times it's fast other's it's slow so take your measurments close in time to get better compare
[14:58] <mneptok> felix688: exact same browser, revision, installed extensions etc etc on both machines accessing speedtest.net?
[14:58] <sacarlson> felix688: another posibility is maybe max packet block size I forget the verible that changes that
[14:59] <mneptok> felix688: IPv6 is enabled or disabled on both machines? the network stack on both is fairly similar?
[15:00] <felix688> sacarlson: No, have had this problem for a week now, ever since i installed Ubuntu... Downloadspeeds are terrible
[15:00] <sacarlson> felix688: maybe it's the MTU setting (max packet size) I'll see if I can find the method to change it
[15:01] <sacarlson> felix688: here's one way to change it http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-change-mtu-maximum-transmission-unit-of-network-interface-in-ubuntu-linux.html
[15:02] <sacarlson> felix688: if you can find what windows uses for there setting and change it to that or just trial and error maybe 1400
[15:02] <intore> sacarlson: am using network setting in system->administration->network but i don't find where set "connect at startup"
[15:04] <JermBob> hey there people
[15:04] <JermBob> just a quick question regarding ubuntu server 11
[15:04] <sacarlson> intore: in network-manager?  I'm not sure I don't use it, I just set in interfaces or scripts,  I've never tried it with auto connect wifi at boot
[15:04] <JermBob> how can i set the ip manually ?
[15:04] <compdoc> JermBob, by editing the conf file
[15:05] <JermBob> what config do i need to edit ?
[15:05] <jn__> How can i recover an odt file, losts of work is lost and im about to throw my computer out the window... after cr
[15:05] <jn__> crash the file when to 0 kb
[15:05] <JermBob> compdoc ?
[15:05] <intore> sacarlson: but we have seen that here i doesn't run!!!
[15:05] <compdoc> edit /etc/network/interfaces
[15:06] <compdoc> examples exist on google
[15:06] <jn__> tried foremost but it just recovers a gazillion of junk
[15:06] <JermBob> compdoc how can i restart the network service ?
[15:06] <intore> sacarlson: am not understanding, am sorry
[15:06] <JermBob> to execute the changes
[15:06] <compdoc> hmm, I think it sudo service networking restart
[15:06] <sacarlson> intore: you told me that network-manager works for you and that you wanted to try console maybe it's me that doesn't understand
[15:06] <compdoc> been a while
[15:07] <JermBob> k
[15:07] <JermBob> all good
[15:07] <Milos|IRSSI> Is there a channel specific to trackback linux?
[15:08] <intore> sacarlson: ikonia suggest me to use gnome network tools and i understood you also, is not?
[15:08] <xangua> Milos|IRSSI: #backtrack-linux
[15:08] <Milos|IRSSI> xangua: awesome, thanks.
[15:08] <JermBob> compdoc the network ip and broadcast ip are what exactly ?
[15:08] <sacarlson> intore: as far as I can see network tools can ping and test they can't configure routes, that's done in network-manager
[15:09] <sacarlson> intore: I don't even have network-manger installed on this machine so I can't even look at it to suggenst anything
[15:09] <JermBob> !dns
[15:09] <compdoc> JermBob, theres no need to assign the broadcast ip - thats automatic and only needs changing if youre doing something out of the ordinary
[15:09] <ips|malc> i configured my 11.10 with compiz to use 5 desktops horizontally, but it only shows me 4, what can i do?
[15:10] <JermBob> and network ?
[15:10] <sacarlson> intore: other option is wicd,  it's more powerfull than network-manager with wifi but not sure it can connect anything at boot
[15:10] <JermBob> the ip of the machine is 10.0.0.10 if i followed the examples i would guess its 10.0.0.0 ?
[15:10] <intore> sacarlson: 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 server
[15:10] <compdoc> JermBob, no need to set that either, but it means the ip address range the lan is using
[15:10] <JermBob> ah all good
[15:10] <JermBob> will leave it out
[15:10] <compdoc> thats automatic as well
[15:11] <intore> ikonia: hi, did you suggest me to use gnome network tools?
[15:11] <JermBob> anyone know the google dns ?
[15:11] <compdoc> do set the address, netmask, and gateway
[15:11] <Xabster> know of, JermBob ?
[15:11] <sacarlson> intore: I don't know anything about this ldap account but I can tell you that my server system boots fine auto connected with just /etc/network/interfaces  entries
[15:11] <llutz> JermBob: 8.8.8.8
[15:12] <Xabster> 8.8.4.4 is secondary, easily google-able
[15:12] <compdoc> 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 ? something like that.
[15:12] <sacarlson> intore: is this some kind of pxe boot thing?
[15:12] <intore> sacarlson: well but we have seen that with my system it doesn't run
[15:12] <sebwolf> Hi
[15:12] <sebwolf> I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 on a Thinkpad
[15:12] <JermBob> thanks
[15:13] <sacarlson> intore: your system runs fine other than this ldap thing
[15:13] <sebwolf> I am no longer able to log in via loginmanager
[15:13] <sebwolf> login on a console (ctrl+alt+f1) works
[15:14] <sebwolf> also graphical login as user root (i have activated root login) works
[15:14] <intore> sacarlson: not only that, it doesn't connect to the wifi network by console using interfaces file
[15:14] <n7> whats the best media player for ubuntu
[15:14] <sacarlson> intore: is ldap a part of your ISP proxy?
[15:14] <bazhang> !players | n7 no best choose one
[15:15] <sacarlson> intore: you have to move one brick at a time you can't connect to you ldap until you can at least ping your gateway
[15:15] <sebwolf> I've tried some help from the internet (e.g. restoring ~/.xinitrc from default) but it did not work
[15:15] <n7> hmmm
[15:15] <intore> sacarlson: i know!
[15:16] <sacarlson> intore: you can't fly to the moon until you build your rocket remember?
[15:16] <n7> well i switched from w7 itunes and i really want something which is good for listening to mpeg4 bazhang
[15:16] <bazhang> n7, and what have you tried
[15:16] <bazhang> n7 ie from that list
[15:17] <faweideniu> n
[15:17] <n7> none yet bazhang lol
[15:17] <JermBob> while doing an apt-get upgrade can i run another ssh session and carry on doing stuff ?
[15:17] <n7> i was hopeing you'd tell me :3
[15:17] <sebwolf> when I want to log in I can see this screen, which shows all the started daemons. At the end there is the error "No Apache MPM installed", but I have the prefork paket installed
[15:17] <jrib> JermBob: sure
[15:17] <JermBob> thankd
[15:17] <JermBob> s
[15:17] <sebwolf> anyone here who suffered the same problem?
[15:18] <bazhang> n7, theres not a best. please dont poll here; #ubuntu-bots can help select if you cannot
[15:18] <jrib> JermBob: might want to checkout screen and tmux as well
[15:18] <intore> sacarlson: the problem was born trying to login using ldap account, i thinked the problem was about gdm and i tried with lxdm but i didn't run. i wanted to login using the console and i met the problem about connection using interfaces file not Network Manager
[15:19] <sacarlson> intore: is this some remote system your trying to login with vnc or something?
[15:20] <n7> ok sorry and thanks bazhang
[15:20] <intore> sacarlson: is a pc in my lan
[15:20] <JermBob> does ubuntu server come with a gui ?
[15:20] <bazhang> JermBob, no
[15:20] <auronandace> JermBob: no
[15:20] <sacarlson> intore: so you have no screen,  just want to ssh and vnc into it?
[15:20] <JermBob> awesome
[15:20] <JermBob> thanks
[15:21] <craigbass1976> When I try to look at the GUI sound mixer, I get "Waiting for sound system to respond," so I haven't actually seen a VU meter jumping around to tell me that there is audio coming in.  I can't get audio in through the line-in or mic jack and out the speakers
[15:21] <intore> sacarlson: into ldap server?
[15:21] <Milos> How do I regrub and remove old versions that no longer exist in /boot
[15:21] <sacarlson> intore: I don't know what an ldap server is but can't you just ssh into it?
[15:22] <sacarlson> intore: point me to a link that explains this ldap
[15:22] <intore> sacarlson: yes
[15:22] <sacarlson> intore: if you can ssh in then I guess you have no network problem
[15:23] <intore> sacarlson: i haven't network problem
[15:23] <n-iCe> where can I read about changelogs of a driver rtl8187 to know if changes have been made and in which kernels
[15:24] <sacarlson> intore: ok one brick moved now move the next one
[15:25] <saimanoj> !botsnack
[15:25] <sacarlson> n-iCe: I guess you can download the git for the kernel and look at it with like gitg and view a tree of changes
[15:26] <sacarlson> n-iCe: not sure the git would include the patches that ubuntu adds, maybe they have there own git repository?
[15:26] <intore> sacarlson: ldap server has some account, am using my pc like client ldap and i have to login on my pc using an ldap account. ikonia told me that i can't login using an ldap account because at the startup og login manager, my pc is not yet connected on the lan so it can't find the ldap account credential
[15:27] <n-iCe> thanks
[15:27] <n7> how do i import my songs from my windows 7 partiton
[15:27] <n7> into my music folder on here
[15:28] <sacarlson> intore: ok then skip ldap and use normal authentication until you figure out ldap
[15:28] <mrintegr1ty> n7: if you want to copy them you can just select all in the file manager and copy / paste into the new location
[15:28] <n7> ok
[15:28] <mrintegr1ty> n7: alternatively you can just leave them where they are and use them from there
[15:28] <intore> sacarlson: i can use a normal authentication, no problem
[15:28] <sacarlson> intore: I wonder if you can setup different authentication for different users?
[15:29] <sacarlson> intore: then time to research ldap authentication
[15:30] <sacarlson> intore: I assume that's what ldap is used for authentication as you haven't given me any link about it
[15:30] <intore> sacarlson: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol
[15:31] <phong_> hi guys, how to bring up auto start up menu screen?
[15:31] <phong_> i have ubuntu 11.10
[15:31] <phong_> i need to use GUI autostartup so that i can shoose what app to start
[15:31] <phong_> anyone?
[15:32] <Xtreme> KDE has one option in it
[15:32] <intore> sacarlson: the problem now is to startup network interfaces before the login
[15:32] <phong_> please man
[15:32] <Xtreme> hello guys
[15:32] <bazhang> phong_, patience
[15:32] <phong_> show me how to auto start or disable autostart or choose specific app to autostart
[15:32] <yandex> phong_: If you have to choose the app, it's not autostarting...
[15:33] <gouzou> phong_: Startup applications?
[15:33] <Xtreme> guys, i banged my head aroung for two days tried everything, but still, when i connect to wlan0, eth0 is disconnected and vice versa
[15:33] <sacarlson> intore:  I think your using it for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Authentication_and_Security_Layer
[15:33] <phong_> yeah
[15:33] <sacarlson> intore: as ldap has 1000's of applications
[15:33] <phong_> gouzou, how to fire up startup applications window?
[15:34] <Xtreme> all suggestions are welcomed..
[15:34] <phong_> i dont use the fancy gui
[15:34] <LucidGuy> Anyone familiar with bc?  Simple way to get results without decimals
[15:34] <phong_> i use classic theme
[15:34] <gouzou> phong_: <Specify O.S and release>
[15:34] <phong_> gouzou, 11.10
[15:34] <yandex> phong_: a/s/l?
[15:34] <intore> sacarlson: you mean?
[15:35] <bazhang> yandex, wrong network
[15:35] <mrintegr1ty> hahahaa
[15:35] <phong_> all i want is to bring up 'startup applications' but i dont have the fancy gui, i have classic gui
[15:35] <intore> sacarlson: the problem now is to startup network interfaces before the login
[15:35] <Xtreme> i am sorry. can any see me?? i am doubting my net conenction so asking
[15:36] <gouzou> phong_: Upper right corner (Next to users menu) > KDE Icon > Startup applications
[15:36] <compdoc> Xtreme, nope
[15:36] <bazhang> Xtreme, are you trying to bond the two?
[15:36] <intore> sacarlson: in this way it can connect to ldap server and find the accounts
[15:36] <sacarlson> intore: I don't know how that could be a problem I never login to my system and it runs my apache2 server just fine
[15:36] <yandex> Xtreme: Were you asking ikonia earlier?
[15:36] <phong_> gouzou, dude, i told you, i have classic them
[15:36] <sebwolf> phong_, you should find the startup applications somewhere in the "system" dialog next to the applications dialog (Gnome)
[15:36] <bazhang> yandex, how is that relevant?
[15:36] <sacarlson> intore: but I guess I don't use simple Authentication and Security Layer on my system
[15:36] <grailian> Hello guys
[15:37] <Xtreme> bazhang:  nope.. just connect to both of them
[15:37] <Xtreme> yandex:  nope. i only come here
[15:37] <yandex> bazhang: Because I wondered if it was the same problem
[15:37] <grailian> Do you know about eclipse and java?
[15:37] <Xtreme> compdoc: ha ha
[15:37] <intore> sacarlson: i give an example.
[15:37] <sacarlson> intore:  oh are the accounts on like nfs server maybe?
[15:37] <gouzou> phong_: Then System > Administration > Startup applications...
[15:38] <intore> sacarlson: yes
[15:38] <yandex> grailian: I've used Eclipse/Java on Ubuntu. What is your issue?
[15:38] <sacarlson> intore: well that might have made it clear
[15:38] <grailian> I would like to use a project from http://sourceforge.net/projects/commons-vfs-ui
[15:38] <Xtreme> anyone?
[15:38] <phong_> gouzou, dude i got it
[15:38] <grailian> and 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 have
[15:38] <grailian> do you know an easy way to reuse this project? No instructions attached
[15:39] <phong_> gouzou, it is in Application->Other->Startup Appliction
[15:39] <phong_> lol
[15:39] <sacarlson> intore: 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] <intore> sacarlson: 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 account
[15:39] <gouzou> phong_: I've stopped using Ubuntu two years ago.
[15:40] <sacarlson> intore: oh so it's fixed then
[15:40] <phong_> then why are you here?
[15:40] <gouzou> phong_: So I don't remember very well. xD
[15:40] <intore> sacarlson: yes!
[15:40] <yandex> grailian: 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] <sacarlson> intore: ok then 2 bricks moved next problem
[15:40] <intore> sacarlson: am sorry if i didn't explain you before
[15:41] <sebwolf> gouzou, which distribution do you use now? I've tried Arch sometimes, but did not like it over ubuntu
[15:41] <gouzou> sebwolf: Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot 11.10 Gnome.
[15:41] <sacarlson> intore: of if not done maybe this http://abhishekdelta.wordpress.com/2010/08/15/quickly-configuring-an-ldap-nfs-client-in-fedora/
[15:43] <sacarlson> intore: you don't have to explain everything just the problem at hand

[15:49] <dbus> hey guys anyone tell me how to open tabs with dbus
[15:50] <Guest82149> Im using script to open gnome-terminal but having problems to open extra tabs
[15:50] <Guest82149> newtab doesnt work i thinks its something to do with dbus
[15:50] <compdoc> it goes so quickly:   the support period for Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) formally ends on April 10, 2012
[15:50] <Guest82149> I could be wrong anyone know ?
[15:51] <naxa> what is the name of the minimal development package for ubuntu? that contains g++ and the like
[15:51] <naxa> 10.10
[15:51] <sacarlson> intore: direct login I guess that's the graphic login as you said gdm
[15:51] <suiyu> join #ubuntu
[15:52] <naxa> ah, build-essential
[15:52] <babilen> naxa: You are probably thinking of build-essential
[15:52] <naxa> babilen: yes, thanks!!
[15:52]  * babilen +b...##fix-your-connection cm1nus
[15:52] <Guest82149> anyone know or tell me where to go to find out about opening extra tabs in ubuntu
[15:52] <sacarlson> intore: I have skiped gdm by loging in with console and bring up an xsession but I guess that's not what you want
[15:53] <intore> sacarlson: i mean i need to connect the pc directly on the network before to insert the credentials
[15:53] <Guest82149> wtf  cmlnus
[15:53] <babilen> ta
[15:53] <intore> sacarlson: that's good also but the network doesn't bring up
[15:54] <intore> sacarlson: in both case, from console and from gdm, this is the problem
[15:54] <sacarlson> intore: the network wired does and your wifi should also if not encrypted
[15:54] <intore> sacarlson: wired runs, wifi not
[15:55] <intore> sacarlson: have you seen the error it gives me?
[15:56] <sacarlson> intore: I know I can get wifi to connect without login from /etc/network/interfaces with what I see you had if you don't encrypt
[15:56] <sacarlson> intore: I"ve seen lots of errors not sure what the last one was
[15:57] <intore> sacarlson: wpa_supplicant[1111]: No network configuration found for the current AP
[15:58] <intore> sacarlson: this after set without passwd
[15:58] <intore> sacarlson: lan connection without passwd
[15:58] <sacarlson> intore: I know wpa-supplicant is mest up, until you try another kernel but unencyrped
[15:59] <sacarlson> intore: oh your still running network-manager I guess it might still be in control
[15:59] <intore> sacarlson: you mean?
[16:00] <sacarlson> intore: I'm not sure maybe I should verify that I can boot my wifi with connection without login to verify,  I won't use encryption as or I guess I could if I use wep
[16:00] <Midle> exit
[16:01] <sacarlson> intore: sometimes my scripts run better like they want to scan before they connect sometimes
[16:02] <intore> sacarlson: why in syslog there is wpa_supplicant? in interfaces i didn't specify it
[16:03] <sacarlson> intore: my guess it's network-manager, that's why I uninstalled it
[16:03] <Midle> exit
[16:03] <Midle> quit
[16:03] <sacarlson> intore: but it should still work
[16:03] <gouzou> phong_: So I was telling you, I've stopped using Ubuntu because Microsoft began helping with Canonical. Their only purpose is to sabotage system integrity.
[16:04] <intore> sacarlson: what do you suggest me?
[16:04] <sacarlson> intore: I"m going to test it here and verify, It will take me about 30 minits
[16:05] <sacarlson> intore: you can connect after boot unecrypted can't you
[16:05] <sacarlson> intore: if your not going to uninstall network-manager you should set it correctly
[16:06] <louiemat> may I have some help with my printer working here is the copy of my problem:
[16:06] <gouzou> Phong is not here. Hehehe.

[16:10] <kfizz> I started a dd to copy from a disk to an image file via SSH. It looks like it's going to take quite a while. I'm worried about my session disconnecting (and I didn't use screen). Will dd continue to run even if my session disconnects? If so, will there be a way to get the output even though I didn't redirect or pipe the output in the beginning?

[16:19] <gouzou> jrib: Thanks. I'll try it. Do you know why when I'm downloading update packages, the download progress decreases?
[16:19] <jrib> gouzou: I don't know
[16:20] <gouzou> jrib: I was updating Oneiric Ocelot. The download started at 21MB and 2 minutes later it was at 17MB.
[16:24] <amalmurali> Hello guys! I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop. I want to create a USB start up disk for installing the latest version of Ubuntu using the ISO image I have downloaded from the Ubuntu website. Can anybody guide me through the process? A tutorial link to any website will help too.
[16:26] <daviddoria> When I run 'apt-get update' I get : "Err http://ppa.launchpad.net oneiric/main i386 Packages 404  Not Found" - how would I fix this?
[16:26] <bazhang> !ppa-purge | daviddoria
[16:27] <daviddoria> that is a very bad error then right? It should tell me the name of the ppa that is not work, not just say oneiric/main i386 Packages, right?
[16:30] <shiryak> Hello !! I need help. I am trying to set internet on my laptop. I have ubuntu 10.04. I make new connection in "System/Preferences/Network connections". But when I put a tick in "Available to all users" the  connection losts (every time when I put the tick and input password). How can I solve the problem?
[16:34] <fvjv> ciao
[16:34] <cba123> I installed 11.04 on a machine with a mdadm and a raid5 (a while ago).  It was booting off a flash drive, but I think the mbr was on a drive that died.  I tried reinstalling on top of itself and setting the USB drive as the place for grub.  However, I still can't boot.  Any ideas?

[16:35] <LmAt> How about that new window manager?
[16:38] <Sivik> anyone experience issues with amdcccle in 11.10 dropping with no information from command line when modifying the multi-desktop settings?
[16:40] <daviddoria> I am trying to run a program that needs libexpat.so.0 . I tried simply making a link from .so.1 to .so.0 but now (not suprisingly) I get segfaults. Is there a place where I can download this file from an older version of ubuntu?
[16:42] <daviddoria> Does anyone know how to use Wink on 11.10?
[16:44] <sipior> daviddoria: depending on the prerequisites for libexpat, it might just be simplest to build it yourself.
[16:46] <siert> hello guys, I'm using IPv6 on Ubuntu server (oneiric). unless I disabled autoconf_
[16:46] <siert> and ra, it stops working after a minute or two after boot...
[16:49] <root____2> how would I configure an ethernet port on a server to only accept traffic coming from a specific ip address?
[16:50] <sipior> root____2: iptables can do what you want very easily.
[16:50] <Al_nz1> so why when I ssh into a machine, start vnc4server and then vnc in, do I get a blank screen and mouse? is it to do with not having logged into the machine first?
[16:51] <root____2> sipior: that's what I figured just wanted to make sure there was nothing else...thank you
[16:51] <sipior> root____2: if you're uncomfortable with using iptables directly, ufw/gufw might be worth a shot.
[16:52] <root____2> sipior: what if ufw/gufw...honestly I think iptables may be my best route but I like to keep my options open
[16:52] <sipior> root____2: they're simply an interface to iptables.
[16:52] <intore> sacarlson: no, it doesn't run. like before it hadn't ip address, i kill and stopped every thing, i ifup/down, it keeps the address but it doesn't ping
[16:53] <Aufwind> I am trying to achieve the following by a bash script: (1) Copy some files from machine (A) to another (linux) machine (B)  (2) run one of the scripts on machine (B) (3) Copy the results back to machine (A). I found a tiny script here (http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/33970/7207) which seams to work  but since I want to automate the script to be started once a day, the (three) password promts get in my way. So I tried the public key genera
[16:53] <Aufwind> tion part, but somehow I don't get how this should work. It still asks me for passwords. How can I get rid of the password prompts?
[16:53] <root____2> sipior: oh ok...thanks:)
[16:53] <sacarlson> intore: mine is working fine, I had the access point spelled wrong, it's case sensitive
[16:54] <jrib> !ssh | Aufwind
[16:54] <beandog> Aufwind: don't use passphrases with the keys
[16:54] <jrib> Aufwind: that first link explains how to setup pubkeys
[16:54] <intore> sacarlson: mine not
[16:54] <Aufwind> beandog, What do you mean by passphrases?
[16:54] <sacarlson> intore: so I guess the drivers are totaly shot?
[16:54] <daviddoria> does anyone use RecordItNow?
[16:54] <beandog> Aufwind: password
[16:54] <Aufwind> beandog, Oh, ok. Thanks!
[16:54] <sacarlson> intore: oh lets take out the ad-hoc
[16:55] <Aufwind> beandog, When I generated the keys I left the password section blank.
[16:55] <intore> sacarlson: i leave blank?
[16:55] <ANub> firefox 11 has started crashing again and again on Natty

[16:56] <Escherial> is there anything better to edit powerpoint slideshows than libreoffice? i feel like i'm on the cusp of insanity
[16:56] <Aufwind> beandog, I did it manually, was that wrong to copy paste?
[16:56] <sipior> ANub: well, let the firefox people know.
[16:56] <ANub> anyone facing the same issue
[16:56] <intore> sacarlson: what did you write there?
[16:56] <beandog> Aufwind: no, but your permissions might be wrong
[16:56] <Escherial> it refuses to resize text in a reasonable way; i make it larger, it makes it twice as small...every time i edit the text, the font gets smaller for no apparent reason (i'm deleting text, not adding it, for instance)
[16:57] <Aufwind> beandog, You got a point there. I'll try again, thanks!
[16:57] <Escherial> it doesn't help much that i've only had a 30 minute power nap in the last 48 hours :\
[16:57] <beandog> Aufwind: I mean file permissions on ~/.ssh
[16:57] <A_J> i have a query, how can i use the internet on my samsung galaxy s2 on my ubuntu machine
[16:57] <intore> sacarlson: and why it didn't keep ip address until if up/down eth1?
[16:57] <craigbass1976> I'm on Lucid, and can't get sound coming in the mic or line-in jacks to come out the speaker jack.
[16:59] <Aufwind> beandog, Awesome!!! It works!!
[16:59] <Aufwind> beandog, And this is permanent?
[16:59] <A_J> craigbass1976 alsamixer
[16:59] <beandog> Aufwind: well, until you remove it
[16:59] <Aufwind> beandog, Thanks man!
[16:59] <beandog> yw
[17:00] <Aufwind> jrib, Thank you too for the awesome links!
[17:00] <A_J> beandog i have a query, how can i use the internet on my samsung galaxy s2 on my ubuntu machine
[17:00] <beandog> A_J: dunno
[17:01] <beandog> A_J: search for ubuntu tethering, I guess
[17:01] <DasEi> Aufwind: else can sudo crontab -e    generate root's own crontab, then restart cron
[17:01] <A_J> beandog this would be wired i guess...
[17:02] <urbancommando> !ubuntu12

[17:04] <hypcrum> hey guys
[17:04] <root____2> sipior: can you set up a iptable rule for a specific ethernet port, say eth1, but it doesn't apply to eth0?
[17:05] <beandog> sipior: yes
[17:05] <hypcrum> I'm trying to activate the driver for my AMD card on my laptop and it keeps failing
[17:05] <Al_nz1> why is my gnome-session in vnc just a blank wallpaper, no task bar or anything
[17:05] <beandog> sipior: -i eth0
[17:06] <root____2> beandog: is that for me? So I would use the -i to specify which port I want
[17:06] <beandog> root____2: no
[17:06] <c0010n300> Ubuntu is turning more and more into Windows.
[17:06] <root____2> beandog: ok

[17:08] <beandog> root____2: then edit the file it makes and change the lines with -i eth0
[17:08] <beandog> root____2: or use webmin, that makes things super simple

[17:20] <bitplane> okay, I bust my SheevaPlug and I cant connect to it using minicom. so I dowloaded this "esia" app
[17:20] <bitplane> it finds my plug computer, but when it tries to flash it, it craps out because it can't find a shared library
[17:21] <bitplane> however, I have this lib on my system. how do I force the app to find it?
[17:21] <bitplane> the library is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libftdi.so.1
[17:22] <sipior> bitplane: is the application binary 32- or 64-bit?
[17:22] <LmtdAt> sacarlson, How do I mount using nautilus?
[17:22] <bitplane> file `which esia` says it's 64-bit
[17:23] <sipior> bitplane: and could you pastebin the output of "ldd $(which esia)"?

[17:25] <DinoMuffin> Hello, I'm having a problem with my computer locking up after playing various games for a while. The system doesn't hard-lock nor kernel panic, but I'm unable to do anything and unable to envoke the virtual terminal. The keyboard and mouse are completely unresponsive
[17:25] <sacarlson> LmtdAt: it will mount in /media/??
[17:25] <LmtdAt> sacarlson, hmm, brb.
[17:25] <bitplane> sacarlson: one moment, just installing pastebinit and my config is on another box which doesn't have ssh enabled. fixing that now
[17:25] <DinoMuffin> The system still responds to sysreq

[17:28] <LmtdAt> sacarlson, Okay, I found it.  I don't want it there ^_^

[17:28] <LmtdAt> sacarlson, That's what the article says.
[17:28] <sacarlson> bitplane: what is this ?

[17:29] <Al_nz1> cant I do a link or something?
[17:29] <bitplane> oops sorry sacarlson, wrong person
[17:29] <bitplane> sipior: http://paste.ubuntu.com/923647/
[17:30] <sacarlson> LmtdAt: if you don't want it there you can symbolic link it to anther location but it will still also be there
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> Al_nz1: the Exec line will need changing to: wine /path/to/file.exe
[17:30] <LmtdAt> sacarlson, That's not terrible...  I'm going to have to do this every time I log on, right?  I feel like there ought to be a command-line way of doing this.
[17:30] <sipior> bitplane: can you install the package "chrpath", and then run "chrpath -l $(which esia)"?
[17:31] <sacarlson> LmtdAt: oh if you want it permanent I guess you will want to look into adding it into fstab or other method
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> Al_nz1: you can set the icon to whatever you like too :-)
[17:31] <bitplane> sipior: "no rpath or runpath tag found."
[17:31] <Aufwind> Do I need root access to create a cronjob on a linux machine?
[17:31] <bitplane> should I just set LDD_THINGY_PATH?
[17:32] <webnet> what is the command to check if a package is installed?
[17:32] <sipior> bitplane: that's kind of a last resort.
[17:32] <sacarlson> LmtdAt: I'm not sure I would want a samba conection in fstab as if it fails to mount it will stall boot untill it time out
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> Aufwind: you can cron as user too, if what you want to schedule needs root access you will need to run:  sudo crontab -e
[17:33] <webnet> !installed
[17:33] <bitplane> sipior: can I set multiple paths and just keep adding them?
[17:33] <sipior> bitplane: you could whip up a script which sets the variable and then runs the program, but that's less than ideal. linking the library to /usr/lib might also be of use. what error do you get when the application runs?
[17:33] <criten88> Hey guys, i'm trying to activate my driver for my ATI 5-seies mobile card in the additional drivers app. IT errors and tells me to check jockey.log http://pastebin.com/dw3UXfX8
[17:33] <bitplane> sipior: I only wanna run this app once, ideally anyway
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> Aufwind: otherwise: crontab -e   will cron as the user
[17:33] <sipior> bitplane: in that case, go ahead :-)
[17:33] <jtyska> hello guys
[17:34] <criten88> jtyska: Hello!
[17:34] <bitplane> just to unbrick my sheevaplug then I can install uboot and I'm running
[17:34] <bitplane> are paths separated by semicolons?
[17:34] <sipior> bitplane: you should only need to specify one path
[17:34] <sipior> bitplane: (but yes, they are)
[17:34] <jtyska> my ubuntu system is broken, when i try to login the screen just blinks and return to login screen, then i wanna reinstall ubuntu just over the partition it is installed right now
[17:34] <bitplane> cool thanks :)
[17:34] <Aufwind> ActionParsnip, Thanks a lot!
[17:35] <sipior> bitplane: sorry, separated by *colons* not semicolons
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> Aufwind: if you have a desktopUI you can use gnome-schedule as a GUI. Run with gksudo to use it as root
[17:35] <sacarlson> jtyska: did you just add a video driver?
[17:36] <keTzaL> /server irc.foonetic.net
[17:36] <LmtdAt> How do I tell which type of Windows share I should be using (samba, cifs, nfs?)?
[17:36] <criten88> Hey guys, i'm trying to activate my driver for my ATI 5-seies mobile card in the additional drivers app. IT errors and tells me to check jockey.log http://pastebin.com/dw3UXfX8
[17:36] <Aufwind> ActionParsnip, sounds sweet, thanks!
[17:36] <sacarlson> jtyska: or maybe a kernel upgrade?  you can try boot the older kernel that will probly still work by holding the shift key at boot
[17:36] <bitplane> sipor: ohhh... looks like you were right, this tool must be launching a 32-bit tool. the flash process now fails with "wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64"
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> Aufwind: np dude :-)
[17:38] <LmAt> Oops, sorry I asked and left.
[17:38] <bitplane> sipior: do I need to install 32-bit libraries too? like, is there a way to tell apt-get to install a 32-bit version of this library?
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> LmAt: i'd go with samba, it's quick and easy
[17:38] <LmAt> ActionParsnip, Ah, so it doesn't depend on the server in use.  It's my option?
[17:39] <sipior> bitplane: they're simply provided in separate packages.
[17:39] <DasEi> LmAt: samba is easiest to set up, nfs better for permanent netshares and often bandwith
[17:39] <LmAt> sacarlson, freaking crap, it worked cifs.
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> LmAt: you could either, samba is simple
[17:39] <bitplane> sipior, so if there's no 32-bit version in apt-cache search I need a 32-bit OS?
[17:40] <LmAt> I was trying to get the error to give to DasEi  and ActionParsnip , and it worked!
[17:40] <plitter> Is there anything I can do when I only get this message when I connect my external harddrive? "usb 2-1.5: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci_hcd"
[17:40] <bitplane> or cross-compile it for 32-bit :/
[17:40] <sacarlson> lmat: I guess cifs is samba
[17:40] <sipior> bitplane: afraid so. or build the thing yourself, of course.
[17:40] <bitplane> ouch, this sucks!
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> LmAt: groovy
[17:40] <jerome__> hello is ther a chan for bug info ? before post
[17:40] <sipior> bitplane: whip up a virtual machine in virtualbox or whichever.
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> jerome__: for 12.04?
[17:40] <DasEi> !bug | jerome
[17:40] <jerome__> i am under ubuntu 11.10
[17:41] <DasEi> jerome__: so no dedicated chan on freenode
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> jerome__: here then :-)
[17:41] <bitplane> haha worked it out... I'll install openocd for 64-bit and symlink the one in /usr/share/esia/uboot to there
[17:42] <jerome__> ok i paste the dmesg and all info
[17:42] <BioBuny> UGH.. I can get the headphoes to work fine, but the stereo speakers nothing... LOL
[17:42] <bitplane> BioBunny: run alsamixer from a command line and see if your speakers are muted
[17:42] <jerome__> my paste is http://paste.ubuntu.com/923679/
[17:43] <jerome__> i get a trap invalid opcode for a gmae and in searching i see some error in kernel
[17:43] <dlentz> BioBuny, did you unplug the headphones?
[17:43] <hplc> how can the ubuntu homepage say that 12.04 is closing in to a release in the near future? i tried 3 clean installs and time and time again it came crashing down this or that over and over, its not even an alpha, its an embryo
[17:44] <jerome__> the error is     0.565096] WARNING: at /build/buildd/linux-3.0.0/mm/page_alloc.c:2106 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x20d/0x820()
[17:44] <ikonia> hplc: why are you ranting about it
[17:44] <dlentz> hplc, if you want help with a specific issue: #ubuntu+1
[17:44] <jerome__> is there a command to set off log in log out of irc webchat ?
[17:45] <BioBuny> trying to change the splash screen and now I have nothing.. does the pic need to be a specail directory?
[17:45] <DasEi> jerome__: part ?
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> jerome__: menu at the top has settings
[17:45] <jerome__> and acpi error ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_PR_.CPU0._PDC] (Node ffff880232c4eeb0), AE_NO_MEMORY (20110413/psparse-536)
[17:45] <jerome__> ok
[17:45] <sacarlson> jerome__: you sure that system is 64 bits?
[17:46] <jerome__> yes bi xeon
[17:46] <HoNgOuRu> how do I make ubuntu login into gdm automatically ?
[17:46] <HoNgOuRu> from the shell
[17:46] <jerome__> emt64 sacalson
[17:46] <jerome__> sacarlson emt64
[17:46] <tyska> hi guys
[17:46] <tyska> i need help with this - http://pastebin.com/EusJSANr - can anyone help me?
[17:47] <dlentz> HoNgOuRu, did you run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3  (to set gdm as default)?
[17:47] <HoNgOuRu> dlentz, it is as default
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> HoNgOuRu: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[17:47] <HoNgOuRu> ActionParsnip, wait...
[17:47] <jerome__> tsyka try a fsck on partition and try using graphic default mode to boot
[17:48] <HoNgOuRu> ActionParsnip, "precise"
[17:48] <dlentz> HoNgOuRu, oh, then i don't undrstand your question
[17:48] <tyska> jerome__: already did fsck
[17:48] <Aufwind> If I want to write a cronjob which will just print a line everyday at 19:50 I would just have to do: crontab -e and then add 50 19 * * * me echo "This is my first command and is run by cron every day. :-)!" No "Sourcing" or the like  needed?
[17:48] <jerome__> no error ? tsyka
[17:48] <tyska> jerome__: and already tried to enter in failsafex mode but nothing
[17:48] <HoNgOuRu> dlentz, I don't want to put the password
[17:48] <selite> I have a simple question. What do I get if I fix bugs for Ubuntu?
[17:48] <tyska> jerome__: it found some errors, no big deal, and fixed them
[17:48] <HoNgOuRu> dlentz, I am away from the pc via vnc, and need to reboot it...
[17:48] <selite> I mean do I get any recognition ?
[17:49] <tyska> selite: yeah, you receive a golden statue in your home
[17:49] <akSeya> hi folks :)
[17:49] <tyska> =)
[17:49] <selite> tyska: Lol, I am serious.
[17:49] <jerome__> tsyka can you run cd or usb live ? try to look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and in the last dmesg
[17:49] <selite> tyska: I know that I will make Ubuntu better but is there some like recognition for doing it.
[17:49] <LjL> selite: there was an idea for giving "badges" for things like that, not sure whether it has/will take off
[17:50] <tyska> jerome__: i already did everything to recover my broken system, there is no way to bring it back
[17:50] <LjL> selite: also bug fixing counts toward Ubuntu membership
[17:50] <akSeya> folks, i'm trying to get winexec (from zenoss) on my ubuntu.. i run "svn co http://dev.zenoss.org/svn/trunk/wmi/Samba/source"
[17:50] <tyska> jerome__: i just wanna reinstall ubuntu in the old partition
[17:50] <selite> LjL: Hmm, can I also add it to CV?
[17:50] <selite> LjL: Thanks a lot for answering.
[17:50] <akSeya> but it's wierd.. i cant find autogen and so on..
[17:50] <LjL> selite: maybe, but that's a bit out of the scope of Ubuntu itself, isn't it?
[17:50] <tyska> jerome__: i just don't know why the install CD does not reconigze nothing (neither systems, win and linux, or partitions)
[17:50] <jerome__> tsyka you can access partition under live ? and look in the live dmesg paste it
[17:51] <LjL> selite: i mean if you want to add it to your CV, who's stopping you? it might sound a bit silly though, not sure
[17:51] <jerome__> tsyka and the fdisk -l too
[17:51] <selite> LjL: I see, thank you. :)
[17:51] <ugur> Hi! I need a little help about update-alternatives. I have changed gnome-text-editor setting from gedit to vim.gnome but It doesn't work.
[17:51] <tyska> jerome__: yeah, i can acess all data from live
[17:51] <ugur> Still gedit works instead vim.gnome
[17:51] <tyska> jerome__: fdisk -l lists all partitions too
[17:51] <HoNgOuRu> dlentz, can you help me?
[17:52] <HoNgOuRu> I want to set the autologin feature fron the shell
[17:52] <dlentz> HoNgOuRu, i don't know how to do that
[17:52] <HoNgOuRu> dlentz, ok, thank  you
[17:52] <Pici> Aufwind: You don't need to specify a username in your user's crontab (via crontab -e). Also, where exactly would you expect that to echo to?
[17:52] <jerome__> tsyka you run installer from live started ?
[17:52] <HoNgOuRu> I need to login to my ubuntu box automatically after reboot. how do I get this done from the shell ????? thank you
[17:52] <tyska> selite: if u're developer, fix bugs on a software u're using and share the fix is almost a duty when u're dealing with open source
[17:53]  * dlentz sends selite a virtual cookie
[17:53] <Aufwind> Pici, I was just trying to test this. It's my first time. In fact I want to run a python script.
[17:53] <jerome__> DasEi what about part ?
[17:54] <Pici> Aufwind: then that should be fine, just if you plan to echo something, you should redirect it to a file.
[17:54] <Aufwind> Pici: You mean: echo "somethjning" > file.txt?
[17:54] <marcus> Anyone know how to config openssh-server, when you changed sshd_config file, and get connection refused at localhost ( Only after changing? )
[17:54] <Pici> Aufwind: exactly.
[17:54] <dlentz> ugur, if you right-click a text file and select 'open with' is vim the default?
[17:54] <jerome__> any idea ? for my bug
[17:55] <ugur> it first optin in right-click menu
[17:55] <marcus> Any1 know where openssh server logs are ??
[17:56] <tyska> i'm with this big problem - http://pastebin.com/EusJSANr - can anyone help me?
[17:56] <ugur> dlentz: yes it is firt option in right-click menu
[17:56] <ugur> but if i use double-click to open a file gedit working
[17:57] <Aufwind> Pici, The job started and I got an email which seams to reside in /var/mail/me with the message "/bin/bash: me: command not found" Do I have to specify something more then this: http://codepad.org/62usS2Vl
[17:57] <Aufwind> Pici, maybe I should admit that I have no root access. And that I opened my crontab by crontab -e
[17:58] <BioBuny> Where is a good spot for noobs to read up on terminal?
[17:58] <ddv> BioBuny: Google
[17:59] <BioBuny> DDV LOl thats not helping:) LOl
[17:59] <Pici> jerome__: your mcelog suggests its a hardware error, you may want to take a look at http://mcelog.org/badpageofflining.html since you do have a Xeon CPU, (the last paragraph)
[17:59] <jerome__> the hardware error is a temp thershold Pici
[18:00] <Pici> jerome__: What is 'me' supposed to be?
[18:00] <jerome__> Pici: ?
[18:00] <Aufwind> BioBuny, What about this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[18:00] <Pici> jerome__: 54 19 * * * me echo "This command is run by me now. :-)!"
[18:01] <jerome__> Pici: where do you see that ?
[18:01] <BioBuny> read that Aufwind, printed it out and everything.. trying to tweakit out like get rid of the PC name and chaneg log in name
[18:01] <ugur> HoNgOuRu: did you look here ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutoLogin#Enabling_AutoLogin_from_command_line
[18:02] <HoNgOuRu> thank u ugur
[18:02] <Pici> jerome__: in that paste your just put up: http://codepad.org/62usS2Vl
[18:02] <jerome__> Pici: you should talk to wrong people ;)
[18:02] <Pici> jerome__: augh
[18:02] <Pici> Aufwind:  What is 'me' supposed to be?
[18:02] <Pici> jerome__: sorry about that, doing too many things at once.
[18:02] <Aufwind> Pici, My account name
[18:03] <Pici> Aufwind: Like I said earlier, you do not put the account name in your user's crontab.
[18:03] <jerome__> np Pici
[18:03] <ugur> you're welcome
[18:03] <Aufwind> Pici, Ah ok, so I remove the account name, but the rest stays?
[18:03] <Pici> Aufwind: yes.
[18:03] <Aufwind> Pici, Will try
[18:03] <Pici> jerome__: Is it always the same app that causes the invalid opcode?
[18:04] <jerome__> yes
[18:04] <marcin__> siema
[18:04] <Pici> jerome__: And this is something you wrote? or?
[18:05] <jerome__> Pici: no it's a game
[18:05] <jerome__> Pici: regnum i post them the same message ;)
[18:06] <jerome__> but it's ince some update
[18:06] <jerome__> s/ince/since
[18:06] <Pici> jerome__: Since an Ubuntu update or their update?
[18:06] <jerome__> both x)
[18:07] <multiHYP> hi all
[18:07] <jerome__> Pici: as i don't play always i dont know exactaly when it was happening
[18:07] <jerome__> hi multiHYP
[18:08] <jerome__> Pici: doyou think i should send bug to kernel too and about the specific driver which one is it ?
[18:08] <jerome__> i will try to reinstall ubuntu as i do update from old system many times
[18:09] <jerome__> i was getting problem with fglrx too as my old card was nvidia and i don't remove driver beofre changing card
[18:09] <Pici> jerome__: I think the bug needs to go to the regnum folks, it looks like a software problem to me.
[18:10] <jerome__> but i remove all nvidia stuff  and now fglrx update can change alternatives
[18:10] <jerome__> ok Pici
[18:10] <jerome__> one other thing in jockey the name of ati driver change depending of if the driver is installed or not
[18:11] <jerome__> is it normal ?
[18:11] <jerome__> or not or if it nvidia-current wa sinstalled
[18:11] <HoNgOuRu> ugur, thank you, that helped
[18:12] <neurochrome> hi peeps, ever since I did the latest kernel update on oneiric I've had nothing but trouble with my external USB drive.  Everytime I xfer something it crashes without fail, is this a known issue?
[18:12] <neurochrome> It's driving me up the wall
[18:12] <ugur> HoNgOuRu: You're welcome.
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> neurochrome: is it ok under the old kernel?
[18:13] <neurochrome> Yeah
[18:13] <Pici> jerome__: I'm not sure what you mean,
[18:13] <neurochrome> ActionParsnip, how's it going? Long time no see ;)
[18:13] <jerome__> Pici: okn nevermind about the api error which is the driver i have to load ?
[18:13] <jerome__> Pici: api acpi
[18:14] <ugur> do i have to reboot when i changed an alternative ? (by update-alternative)
[18:14] <jerome__> or it should be the kernel who load it automatically  Pici
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> neurochrome: sounds like a bug. Be sure the filesystem is healthy and be sure to safe remove it under the new kernel so you know all is well
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> Ugur:.no its ready to go.
[18:14] <Pici> jerome__: It should be handled automatically by the kernel.
[18:15] <neurochrome> ActionParsnip, Yeah, it's fine, I have two machines (one about to go EOL) and it works fine on the older machine
[18:15] <neurochrome> smb works better on the older machine too
[18:15] <neurochrome> go figure
[18:15] <jwmto> I need to update my video driver for a 27 Imac running 11.10.  Can any advise?
[18:15] <ugur> ActionParsnip: I've changed gnome-text-editor from gedit to gvim or sublime-text but it doesn't work
[18:15] <jerome__> Pici: ok so i have to sbmit bug about mm
[18:15] <ugur> still gedit is working
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> neurochrome: i'd report the issue
[18:15] <wdd> REFRASHING MODURE COMPRETE
[18:15] <diamonds> if I want to use dropbox but I only have minimal install...
[18:16] <diamonds> nautilus-dropbox - Dropbox integration for Nautilus
[18:16] <ugur> even i've restarted gnome-sessin and lightdm
[18:16] <diamonds> will this do it?
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> ugur: could try a reboot. Can't hurt :-)
[18:16] <neurochrome> ActionParsnip, yeah, oh well... doesn't bode well  for 12.04 if that has the same bug :/
[18:16] <jerome__> Pici: for v[    0.565096] WARNING: at /build/buildd/linux-3.0.0/mm/page_alloc.c:2106 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x20d/0x820() and [    0.565813] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_PR_.CPU0._PDC] (Node ffff880232c4eeb0), AE_NO_MEMORY (20110413/psparse-536)
[18:16] <diamonds> I suppose I should try but I don't want to install Nautilus, gnome, X etc. accidentally by apt-get installing dropbox
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> diamonds: there is a cli method
[18:16] <ugur> ActionParsnip: I can't do that now :D
[18:16] <jwmto> anyone a whiz with video card driver updates?  Imac running ubuntu 11.10?
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> neurochrome: grab the Precise liveCD and test
[18:17] <diamonds> ActionParsnip: ? I've used dropbox thus but I'm confused why I only see a package for "Nautilus integration" and not "dropbox-core" or something
[18:17] <diamonds> I'm not using nautilus
[18:17] <sddhrthrt> Hey people!
[18:17] <neurochrome> jwmto, not familiar with that hardware, have you tried the additional drivers (or whatver they call it nowadays, I lose track)
[18:18] <neurochrome> ActionParsnip, Yeah, only one way to find out!
[18:18] <sddhrthrt> There is no audible bell in my computer. Any idea how to configure it ?
[18:18] <jwmto> Neurochrome: i've tried the graphical tool (still called additional drivers) but I get nowhere
[18:18] <neurochrome> sddhrthrt, if it's wired then you should set that in bios
[18:18] <msh3ab> hi how r u every one
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> diamonds: there is a manual method. I created a bug for it a while back. Same method just a different filename
[18:18] <jwmto> is there a better room to be asking this video driver question?
[18:18] <neurochrome> jwmto, go on... what exactly happens?
[18:18] <sddhrthrt> neurochrome: wired? no idea. How do i check that?
[18:19] <jwmto> it runs for a while but nothing updates
[18:19] <diamonds> ActionParsnip: I don't follow; a manual method for what? for installing?
[18:19] <neurochrome> sddhrthrt, did you build it yourself?
[18:19] <jwmto> and gnome 3 is still gibberish on the screen if I run gnome 3 instead of unity
[18:19] <sddhrthrt> neurochrome: okay, my problem specifically is, i dont hear an alert when i get a mention/hilight in a channel/query window in irssi. How do i configure that?
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> Diamonds: it installs dropbox as a service you can stop and start :-)
[18:19] <jerome__> Pici: maybe it's that which cause the trap
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> Diamonds: yes, installing in CLI only
[18:20] <diamonds> ActionParsnip: where can I find this package or src?
[18:20] <neurochrome> sddhrthrt, the internal speaker looks like this on most desktops http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31o15r9S5GL._SL500_AA300_.jpg
[18:20] <jwmto> trying the additional drivers tool again
[18:21] <sddhrthrt> neurochrome: No, its not what i want.
[18:21] <neurochrome> sddhrthrt, 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 it
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> Diamonds: look at the bugs I have reported on Launchpad. You see how
[18:21] <neurochrome> sddhrthrt, ok, so what 'bell' are you referring to
[18:21] <sddhrthrt> neurochrome: I rephrase my query, how do you make irssi create a bell when i get a mention? Okay, anyone else, please?
[18:21] <neurochrome> PC's don't have 'bells'

[18:27] <arulmozhi> which one is faster and productive to learn... which one will be stable and fast growing in future??? wxWidgets or GTK
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> Diamonds: that's managed in my bug too :-)
[18:29] <sddhrthrt> Well, neurochrome irssi creates a hardware beep.
[18:29] <sddhrthrt> neurochrome: I need an 'Alert Sound' (as in Sound Preferences > choose Alert Sound in ubuntu 10.04)
[18:29] <neurochrome> sddhrthrt, yeah, is that not what you want?
[18:29] <sddhrthrt> neurochrome: any idea?

[18:30] <neurochrome> jwmto, not really, it mentions nvidia and ati drivers! ?!
[18:31] <jwmto> it wasn't that clear to me either
[18:31] <neurochrome> sddhrthrt, there's mention of using perl scripts to play sounds when certain events happen http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/1393

[18:32] <wad> Bennlucky7, yo?
[18:33] <neurochrome> jwmto, you already read this article? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Intel_iMac
[18:33] <Bennlucky7> i mean what :-)
[18:33] <wamty> in fdisk , printing the partition table, is it normal for the Start cylinder of the 2nd partition to be the SAME value as the End of the earlier partition?
[18:33] <wamty> i remember it used to be a difference of 1, but right now on checking both my machines ive found the above.
[18:33] <wamty> both are primary paritions
[18:33] <wamty> the first partition was created through ubuntu's install.
[18:34] <wamty> the 2nd thro fdisk, allowing the default cylknder values
[18:34] <wamty> also is it safer to add one manually?
[18:34] <L3top> the space bar is not punctuation wamty. It makes it difficult when we have to cobble together what you are saying in an active channel.
[18:34] <ehsansn> Hi
[18:34] <jerome__> bye
[18:34] <mobiusstriper> hi, i am trying to install driver for my canon mx882 printer, but got this error: http://dpaste.org/PncjB/
[18:35] <wamty> any ideas?
[18:35] <L3top> er, s/space bar/enter key/
[18:35] <L3top> I dont know. I have to backscroll and put together your question
[18:35] <neurochrome> !flood
[18:35] <Jordan_U> wamty: Please pastebin the ouptut of "sudo fdisk -lu" and "sudo parted -l".
[18:36] <ehsansn> if I download the oneiric ocelot iso now does it contain the latest updates?I mean is there any difference between the iso that I downloaded the very first day and the current iso?
[18:36] <Bennlucky7>  /join #ubuntu-bugsquad
[18:36] <Jordan_U> ehsansn: No. No difference.

[18:37] <Jordan_U> ehsansn: You're welcome.
[18:37] <RobinJ> has something special happened in the 3.2 kernel? ubuntu 12.04's battery life is DOUBLE
[18:37] <wamty> Jordan_U: splitting a cylinder is well supported, right?
[18:37] <tidux> what the hell?
[18:38] <BioBuny> when it the update for vidalia coming out?
[18:38] <neurochrome> RobinJ, there has been some significant changes yes
[18:38] <tidux> the Linux kernel just zapped the 12.04b2 amd64 installer with the OOM-killer!
[18:38] <tidux> I have 2GB of RAM!
[18:38] <Jordan_U> wamty: With modern drives "cylinders" are a myth.
[18:38] <Pici> tidux, RobinJ: 12.04 support is in #ubuntu+1 only at this time
[18:38] <RobinJ> neurochrome, like what? from 1:10 on a full battery to 2:48 is a rather nice change :p
[18:38] <tidux> k
[18:39] <neurochrome> RobinJ, I read about it a few weeks back, gimme a sec
[18:39] <L3top> Yes wamty. All of mine show the same.
[18:39] <Jordan_U> wamty: For performance reasons, you should be aligning on at least MiB boundaries, but any alignment is supported. I recommend using parted or GParted for partitioning as they are aware of filesystems and follow best practices for alignment among other things.
[18:39] <Bennlucky7> hmm
[18:39] <marcus__> anyone know why i get broken pipe with ssh -vv blah@localhost ?? i got an openssh-server..
[18:40] <RobinJ> marcus__, connection dropped
[18:40] <wamty> Jordan_U: in theory it should be different, but if the disk was partitioned by MB instead of cylinders then its possible to split a cylinder?
[18:40] <RobinJ> =D
[18:40] <c_wong> why am i getting error when i run chroot /mnt/os ? chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error
[18:40] <marcus__> yes but, i tried keepalive, etc, and internet is working? =.=
[18:41] <RobinJ> c_wong, because /mnt/os/bin/bash doesn't exist or is a different architecture
[18:41] <neurochrome> RobinJ, http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/246432/expect_longer_battery_life_with_ubuntu_linux_1204_precise_pangolin.html
[18:41] <halakar> hi everyone.  new user here :)
[18:41] <c_wong> RobinJ: ah.. diff arch.
[18:41] <RobinJ> c_wong, yeah, i ran into that as well :p
[18:41] <c_wong> RobinJ: can i by pass or i need the right arch.
[18:41] <halakar> using ubuntu 11.10 on a dell latitude d610 laptop with 2gb ram.  having a bit of trouble getting the broadcom wifi working, but the system is updating after first boot so maybe that will fix. thoughts?  it's a BCM4318 wifi card.
[18:42] <marcus__> any1 know why my connection drops ( ssh ), broken pipe??
[18:42] <RobinJ> are you trying to chroot into a x64 system from a x86 host?
[18:42] <wylde> !broadcom | halakar
[18:42] <neurochrome> halakar, broadcom are notoriously terrible
[18:42] <c_wong> RobinJ: yes.
[18:42] <wamty> ?
[18:42] <RobinJ> c_wong, nope, find a x64 machine =D
[18:43] <c_wong> k.
[18:43] <marcus__> any1 know why my connection drops ( ssh ), broken pipe??
[18:43] <halakar> neurochrome: I come from Mandriva/Mageia, and they've been good.
[18:43] <RobinJ> neurochrome, should i be afraid now?
[18:43] <RobinJ> neurochrome, "One fix--the very same Linux kernel patch I wrote about last month, focusing on PCI Express Active State Power Management (ASPM)--has already been incorporated into Precise Pangolin, King noted."
[18:43] <halakar> i'm at that page already, i'll try what it says after it's done updating.
[18:43] <c_wong> RobinJ: or build the live thumb drive to x86?
[18:43] <RobinJ> neurochrome, last time i added the kernel parameter that does that it broke my laptop's battery
[18:43] <neurochrome> RobinJ, I wouldn't worry too much just yet
[18:44] <Jordan_U> wamty: I have no idea what you mean by "partitioned by MB instead of cylinders". Like I said, cylinders are a myth at this point and anything even vaguely modern tool uses LBA.
[18:44] <neurochrome> halakar, you can get them working, sure, they are just notorious for their somewhat terrible support
[18:44] <halakar> okay.  the "additional driver" thing doesn't seem to work,
[18:45] <halakar> but again, the thing hasn't finished updating yet, so i'll reboot after that and see what's up.
[18:45] <RobinJ> k
[18:45] <halakar> i wasn't expecting to get a response so fast, with 1700 people in here...dang
[18:45] <neurochrome> halakar, I've had mixed results... I spent a good day with the last card, before the owner told me it was messed up in windows also... I binned it and got a well supported intel chipset instead
[18:45] <halakar> right
[18:45] <pepee> someone got this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/962704
[18:46] <bombadil_rocks> so does unity still suck? I'm thinking of giving ubuntu another try.
[18:46] <neurochrome> halakar, see how you go... YMMV
[18:46] <L3top> halakar: some of BCM has been blacklisted and explicit drivers must be installed, most notably b43-fwcutter
[18:46] <halakar> bombadil_rocks: Well, I just installed ubuntu for the first time even though i'm not fond of gnome...and i like the unity thing they have going on.
[18:46] <wamty> Jordan_U: sorry for the delay, the outputs of fdisk and parted are here: http://pastebin.com/TnJAU3YB
[18:46] <neurochrome> bombadil_rocks, I hear gret things... but I will reserve judgement.  I'm not a fan so far
[18:46] <Jordan_U> bombadil_rocks: That's an entirely subjective question (I never thought Unity sucked). Try it and see, or use one of the many non-unity options.
[18:46] <neurochrome> shell on the other hand is semi-decent
[18:47] <Jordan_U> !notunity | bombadil_rocks
[18:47] <halakar> restarting
[18:47] <wamty> Jordan_U: i always thought partitioning was based on cylinders, so seeing the partitions overlap is a bit scary
[18:47] <L3top> !info b43-fwcutter maverick | halakar
[18:47] <neurochrome> halakar, good luck!
[18:47] <halakar> L3top: I have 14E4:4318 IIRC
[18:47] <wamty> Jordan_U: anyway, the outputs of fdisk and parted are here: http://pastebin.com/TnJAU3YB
[18:47] <Bennlucky7> unity rocks!
[18:51] <Jordan_U> wamty: Indeed, the start and end blocks are the same which could be a problem. I would recommend repartitioning with [G]Parted and while you're at it make sure that your partitions are all aligned on MiB boundaries (which [G]Parted does by default).
[18:51] <wamty> Jordan_U: those were lined up by bytes: 146485247 - 146485248 ?
[18:51] <halakar> there's a package called 'firmware-b43-installer' that i am applying
[18:53] <Jordan_U> wamty: Sorry, I was confused by the fact that you also ran "sudo fdisk -l" which I did not ask you to run. Your partitions do not overlap, as can be seen in the -lu output.
[18:53] <wamty> Jordan_U: So what do you recommend? what happened here?
[18:53] <Bennlucky7> is empathy suppory skype?
[18:54] <halakar> It's working
[18:54] <GirlyGirl> bombadil_rocks: You could try Kubuntu if you dislike unity
[18:54] <Pici> Bennlucky7: No. There are no third-party skype clients, their protocol is not open source.
[18:56] <bitplane> it's not only closed source, it's heavily protected. it has now been reverse engineered though, so we have some hope of having a free skype client in future
[18:56] <Bennlucky7> Pici: but its work with pidgin
[18:56] <bitplane> no, the skype for pidgin/empathy plugin uses the official skype client running in the background. it's a resource hog and screen-bloat
[18:57] <Pici> Bennlucky7: There is a user interface API that other applications can hook into, but presumably you'd need skype running at the same time for it to work (as bitplane said)
[18:58] <Rewt`> anyone ever seen a flash drive mount with (.( 's preceeding the directory/file names?
[18:59] <Bennlucky7> already try some skype plugin for pidgin in empathy, still not working
[19:01] <john_17> test
[19:01] <wamty> Jordan_U: So what do you recommend? what happened here?
[19:01] <ki4ro> test
[19:01] <dlentz> !ping | ki4ro
[19:02] <ki4ro> contentless?
[19:02] <halakar> what kind of things can i do to tweak the performance of the system?
[19:03] <ki4ro> halakar: Big question...millions of answers I'm sure
[19:03] <sirknight> hi
[19:04] <wamty> Jordan_U: So what do you recommend? what happened here?

[19:08] <kneemoe> I have them installed
[19:09] <doxxyyy> Guys. I can't change my resolution. Nvidia + Old Desktop Monitor
[19:10] <mynickistaken> guys i try to install sqldeveloper for ubuntu useing make-sqldeveloper-package from the reop but i get an error "chmod: missing operand after `755'"
[19:11] <Vespakoen> Hi guys! I am on a macbook pro and successfully installed Ubuntu + Mac OS X (dualboot) with reFit and by changing GPT with gdisk. I absolutely loved Ubuntu, So I decided to make a new partition to serve as a Data drive to share stuff between Ubuntu and Mac, Problem is, when I want to go into Ubuntu I get "grub resque>", I now started with the Live CD, I can actually mount the Ubuntu disk, but I would love it to start normally again,
[19:11] <Vespakoen> Is there anyone willing to "guide" me through this process since i am afraid to make it worse =)
[19:11] <Vespakoen> I have done some googling but the only tutorials i can find are not on a mac...
[19:11] <Bennlucky7> doxxyyy: maybe its ur monitor max resolution
[19:12] <doxxyyy> I don't know
[19:12] <doxxyyy> But I want 1280x1024.
[19:12] <escott> Vespakoen, are you trying to boot directly off the efi, or booting via bootcamp
[19:12] <Vespakoen> EFI
[19:12] <Vespakoen> It looks like i made a Hybrid MBR
[19:13] <Vespakoen> I can run commands? sdisk, gdisk etc. and paste the info to pastebin
[19:13] <escott> Vespakoen, if you are trying an efi boot then you need to install the grub-efi version
[19:13] <doxxyyy> bennlucky7: look at this please
[19:13] <doxxyyy> http://pastie.org/3763789
[19:13] <escott> Vespakoen, the hybrid would be created by bootcamp to enable you to do a bios-emulation boot
[19:13] <kneemoe> can you boot into Ubuntu from the boot menu on the Live Disk (of your HDD that is)
[19:13] <Vespakoen> is there a way to find out / make sure its EFI ?
[19:14] <Vespakoen> Or hybrid =P
[19:14] <escott> Vespakoen, chroot into the ubuntu system and run "dpkg -l "*grub*"
[19:14] <Vespakoen> that means, mounting it first ?
[19:14] <Vespakoen> sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt   <= that's all ?
[19:15] <doxxyyy> Any help guys? I am stuck at 1024x768
[19:15] <escott> Vespakoen, boot the livecd, mount the / partition on /mnt, mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev, mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc, sudo chroot /mnt
[19:16] <escott> doxxyyy, old desktop monitor = VGA?
[19:16] <doxxyyy> yes
[19:16] <doxxyyy> escott: http://pastie.org/3763789
[19:16] <MagusAgnus> i had to buy a new monitor doxxyyy, escott
[19:17] <doxxyyy> =|
[19:17] <escott> doxxyyy, could be part of the problem, you may have to force a modeline, if the monitor doesnt report edid data
[19:17] <Vespakoen_> Sorry, had to reconnect, scroll didnt work in this webirc
[19:17] <Bennlucky7> doxxyyy: maybe its in nvidia setting
[19:17] <anonymusalinfo> hello eny one
[19:17] <doxxyyy> it is not in the nvidia settings, the max is 1360x768 :|
[19:17] <subthalamus_> is there an eny one in here?!?
[19:17] <doxxyyy> this monitor is not wide screen
[19:17] <halakar> should i get adobe reader on my rig, or is there something else i can use?
[19:18] <Vespakoen_> escott, can you copy/paste what you typed after i said the mount stuff ?
[19:18] <escott> halakar, evince?
[19:18] <escott> Vespakoen, boot the livecd, mount the / partition on /mnt, mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev, mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc, sudo chroot /mnt
[19:18] <MagusAgnus> to force a edid in nvidia cards is a pain in ass doxxyyy,
[19:19] <halakar> what about the best video player?
[19:19] <Vespakoen_> Allright going to do that now, brb
[19:19] <escott> !best | halakar
[19:19] <halakar> right
[19:19] <i7c> ubottu: who's the best #ubuntu bot?
[19:19] <halakar> well, i am getting smplayer
[19:19] <halakar> i like it in kde
[19:20] <halakar> the ubuntu software center, does it warn you if a package needs dependencies, or does it just go get whatever it needs?
[19:20] <bobo37773> halakar: smplayer is my favorite.
[19:20] <escott> halakar, if you are using kubuntu you should just use the default applications provided with kde. so you probably dont want to use evince as that is gnome/unity
[19:20] <halakar> bobo37773: cool :)
[19:20] <halakar> escott: nono, i am using ubuntu
[19:20] <Bennlucky7> lol
[19:20] <halakar> on this spare laptop here,
[19:20] <bobo37773> halakar: and since it is my favorite that automatically makes it the best
[19:21] <halakar> but i might move from Mageia with KDE to Kubuntu
[19:21] <halakar> bobo37773: right ;)
[19:21] <Vespakoen_> escott, "mount the / partition on /mnt"  == sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt ?
[19:21] <Bennlucky7> anyone know how to disable recent files in unity dash?
[19:22] <escott> Vespakoen_, yes
[19:22] <escott> Bennlucky7, Activity Log Manager
[19:23] <Vespakoen_> escott, root@ubuntu =)
[19:24] <halakar> is there a way to get rid of the guest login... ?
[19:25] <Bennlucky7> thanx escott, sometimes i played erotic media :-))
[19:25] <bobo37773> halakar: A rigth way? Which way were you planning on doing it?
[19:25] <Vespakoen_> escott, do you want me to paste something from f/g disk ?
[19:25] <i7c> can i use another alt-tab switcher with xfce ?
[19:26] <halakar> i was looking for something like 'user accounts' or something that i can use to disable that guest login
[19:26] <i7c> halakar: /etc/passwd
[19:26] <Vespakoen_> i7c, try compiz config manager, it has a couple of switchers
[19:26] <i7c> Vespakoen_: thanks.
[19:27] <Vespakoen_> be carefull with it though, it is a bit unstable (compiz config manager itself)
[19:27] <Escherial> do any of you use R? if so, do you have any preferences for graphical frontends?
[19:27] <tanin> 12.04 beta 1 still running fine
[19:27] <Vespakoen_> same here
[19:27] <Vespakoen_> oh, beta 2 actually
[19:27] <Vespakoen_> except for my grub-fuckup =(
[19:28] <tanin> 12.04 beta 1 still running fine
[19:28] <Bennlucky7> why not beta 2
[19:28] <bitplane> same thing isn't it? providing you've been doing updates (or do you need dist_upgrade?)
[19:29] <tanin> well 1 has still not given any prob
[19:29] <tanin> I was trying to crash it too
[19:29] <tanin> wanted to report a bug
[19:30] <bitplane> I found a bunch, it's mostly okay now though
[19:30] <Escherial> i know this is going to sound dumb, but is unity any more stable in the new betas?
[19:30] <guntbert> Escherial: this is not a programmers' channel
[19:31] <tanin> I am looking beyond ubuntu actually
[19:31] <xangua> tanin: Escherial #ubuntu+1 for pangolin
[19:31] <tanin> it's just so stable
[19:31] <guntbert> !bug | tanin
[19:31] <Vespakoen> escott are you still in here?
[19:31] <Escherial> xangua: i'm confused. what is pangolin?
[19:31] <Escherial> ah, the next release, apparently?
[19:31] <escott> Vespakoen, yes. been reading. run dpkg -l "*grub*" and see what version of grub you have installed
[19:31] <ki4ro> xangua: I tried ubuntu+1 earlier and there was no one there

[19:32] <balachmar> echo 'test mail' | mail -s 'testing this' myemail@gmail.com works fine, however, sendmail -bv myemail@gmail.com does not
[19:32] <Vespakoen> scotty, I see grub, and grub2, and a lot of grub-... and grub2-...
[19:33] <Bennlucky7> xangua: 12.04 a.k.a precise pangolin
[19:33] <tanin> thats right
[19:33] <escott> Vespakoen, you probably want grub-efi or something. not sure what works best with refit
[19:33] <escott> Vespakoen, or for that matter why refit doesnt offer the boot option itself
[19:34] <Vespakoen> Yeh 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 work
[19:34] <tanin> Thinking about booting phone with ubuntu
[19:34] <Vespakoen> if i run a command to list the table, can you get clues from that?
[19:34] <guntbert> balachmar: I suggest asking in #ubuntu-server
[19:35] <escott> Vespakoen, you would have to be more detailed about how the boot is failing to ascertain if the hybrid is to blame
[19:35] <balachmar> @guntbert: Aah thanks for the tip
[19:35] <guntbert> !pastebin | Vespakoen
[19:36] <Vespakoen> http://pastie.org/3763909
[19:36] <tanin> I saw a pathetic youtube never used  video from someone who clearly never used ubuntu
[19:36] <Vespakoen> yeh, i am familiar with IRC ;)
[19:36] <tanin> was wondering why it showed showed flash screen while shutting down
[19:37] <tanin> thought it was rebooting
[19:37] <tanin> lol
[19:37] <sirknight> how do i get a higher and (BIGger  screen on virtural box?  version 4.1.12
[19:37] <hypn0> tanin, how would we know, when u dont give a link, although if you did, then thier views would increase, do you want that?
[19:38] <escott> sirknight, install the guest-utils
[19:38] <mtms> quick 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 too
[19:38] <bitplane> sirknight, or even better don't bother and just use "ssh -X" to connect to your virtual host (assuming it's linux)
[19:38] <bitplane> then you can run apps from that distro on your own desktop
[19:39] <Vespakoen> Added sudo gdisk /dev/sda to the pastie http://pastie.org/3763909
[19:39] <Bennlucky7> why my video player play wmv with no sound? anyone know?
[19:39] <Vespakoen> Is there anything else that could help identifying where it goes wrong?
[19:39] <sirknight> ALWAY LINUX !..
[19:41] <sirknight> bitplane,  huh?
[19:41] <bitplane> sirknight, ssh into a box that has X installed using "ssh -X hostname" and you can launch desktop apps
[19:42] <bitplane> they appear locally
[19:42] <dlentz> Bennlucky7, which video player?
[19:42] <escott> Vespakoen, 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 continguous
[19:43] <Vespakoen> Hmz, 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)
[19:44] <Vespakoen> fingers crossed hehe, thanks for the help so far!
[19:44] <Bennlucky7> dlentz, the 12.04 default player
[19:44] <sirknight> bitplane,  im new at this stuff, but i know my way around linux but i dont know command line
[19:45] <hypn0> Bennlucky7, totem? i would guess :-/
[19:45] <bitplane> ah okay sirknight, I was just saying. it's a nice way to run apps remotely
[19:45] <bitplane> better than doing keyhole surgery through virtualbox
[19:45] <sirknight> bitplane,  ssh: connect to host dustin-home port 22: Connection refused
[19:45] <Bennlucky7> yeah totem
[19:45] <bitplane> sirknight: sudo apt-get install ssh
[19:46] <bitplane> after that you'll have an sshd running that you can connect to
[19:46] <sirknight> bitplane,  im at my computer
[19:46] <bitplane> ah okay, you need to have ssh running before you can connect using X
[19:46] <bitplane> also have a strong password if you're connecting over the internet
[19:47] <sirknight> ok, thats cool
[19:47] <GUT-UEFI> Hello
[19:47] <dlentz> Bennlucky7, do you have gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg installed?
[19:47] <sirknight> not what i was wanting but i can use it later...
[19:47] <ki4ro> GUT-UEFI: Hello there
[19:47] <Bennlucky7> only gstream
[19:48] <GUT-UEFI> I have a big  problem i am very disapointed that i cant instal ubuntu  on an uefi bio
[19:48] <sirknight> bitplane i wanted to install guess additions to vbox
[19:48] <GUT-UEFI> any help plz
[19:48] <mailson> oi
[19:48] <bitplane> sirknight: just mount the disk image, there's an option in the menus isn't there?
[19:48] <bitplane> then you just run it
[19:49] <Hans_Henrik> can i give 1 user several passwords?
[19:49] <ki4ro> GUT-UEFI: what problem?
[19:49] <guntbert> Hans_Henrik: not on the same system
[19:49] <bitplane> Hans_Henrik: I shouldn't think so. why would you want to do that?
[19:49] <GUT-UEFI> i cant get to any instal optin  when i put the cd  in pc i restart
[19:49] <GUT-UEFI> and then nothing hapens
[19:50] <sirknight> i tryed but it just sits there,  i have the news version  4.1.12,  but the other ones are 4.1.8
[19:50] <guntbert> !who | sirknight
[19:50] <GUT-UEFI> is booting from the cd  the screan bemoe  violet and then nothing
[19:50] <bitplane> GUT-UEFI: you need to allow your machine to boot from CD. you will need to change the "boot order" in the BIOS
[19:50] <GUT-UEFI> become
[19:50] <bitplane> oh
[19:50] <ki4ro> GUT-UEFI: Have you told your PC to boot from CD if it is there...check boot options
[19:50] <myutio> Hans_Henrik- Maybe you can give one user multiple accounts that all share the same directory
[19:50] <guntbert> sirknight: you can find support for virtualbox in #vbox too :-)
[19:50] <GUT-UEFI> yes i did it before bat not from this mainboard
[19:51] <bitplane> myutio: wouldn't that cause all kinds of problems with permissions?
[19:51] <Hans_Henrik> bitplane: there is 1 user that has all the GUI-stuff running. several people needs access to that 1 account; the password already on that account is too obscure for me to remember
[19:51] <GUT-UEFI> but
[19:51] <agumonkey> Hi all
[19:51] <guntbert> Hans_Henrik: bad idea - rethink your strategy
[19:51] <myutio> bitplane- that question is why I only said "maybe"
[19:51] <bitplane> Hans, do they need physical access or can it be remote access?
[19:52] <dlentz> Bennlucky7, you need to run "sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg" to get codec for wma
[19:53] <sirknight> guntbert,  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 ask
[19:53] <agumonkey> I `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] <Bennlucky7> dlentz, The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
[19:53] <Bennlucky7> my terminal says
[19:54] <myutio> bitplane- I think if you gave all the account membership in the same group, and then made the user directory r/w group accessible, it might work
[19:54] <guntbert> sirknight: so your real problem at the moment is how to install the GA in a vbox guest with ubuntu as guest OS?
[19:55] <SamuraiAlba> Is there any way to get the Broadcom 43xx drivers INTO the live disk?
[19:55] <dlentz> Bennlucky7, so is the package installed or not?
[19:55] <leopold> is this the irc.ubuntu.com?
[19:55] <Bennlucky7> already installed
[19:55] <bitplane> sirknight: start your virtual machine, go to the menu: Devices -> Install guest additions
[19:56] <Bennlucky7> im trying save my totem
[19:56] <SamuraiAlba> Just curious as I would like to take my Alfa USB back from my friend with the diskless laptop...
[19:56] <bitplane> leopold: almost, it's #ubuntu on irc.freenode.net
[19:56] <leopold> Oh.
[19:56] <leopold> thanks bitplane for explaining. =)
[19:56] <mmercer> hey all, anyone happen to know what install cd i need to install on a TM5800 processor?
[19:56] <Pici> leopold: irc.ubuntu.com forwards to irc.freenode.net
[19:57] <leopold> @ Pici, ah, then I think I understand.
[19:57] <dackyshawn> mmercer: is that a 32bit cpu or 64-bit?
[19:58] <bitplane> mmercer: Looks like Debian is having trouble with TM5800 devices. I doubt you'll get Ubuntu on it
[19:58] <bitplane> ask in #linux
[19:59] <dackyshawn> looks like 32-bit dunno if u can run ubuntu on that or not
[19:59] <SamuraiAlba> I 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] <dackyshawn> SamuraiAlba: u can i believe dunno how tho
[19:59] <dackyshawn> u may have to install it everytime tho
[19:59] <dackyshawn> anything u install will work for that live session until u reboot
[19:59] <SamuraiAlba> that would be.. iffy?
[19:59] <mmercer> bitplane: yeah, i had issues with installing ubuntu on it recently, was just curious if anyone else has had any success or what
[20:00] <dackyshawn> i dont think it'd be iffy just annoying
[20:00] <myutio> can the Dell Inspiron handle plain old pata harddrives?
[20:00] <SamuraiAlba> what miniPCIe wireless card will work WITHOUT having to install new drivers?
[20:00] <SamuraiAlba> this particular dell cannot
[20:01] <ulidtko> hey guys, is this flash game working for anyone? i have tried both adobe's flashplayer and gnash, neither works with specifically this file. http://cache.armorgames.com/files/games/light-bot-20-6061.swf
[20:01] <agumonkey> So , anyone to give a hint about reinstalling [k]ubuntu default init scripts ?
[20:01] <bitplane> SamuraiAlba: My RTL-8185 doesn't need drivers
[20:01] <myutio> SamuraiAlba- if there is no possibility of a harddrive, I hope it has enough memory that you'll never need a swap partition
[20:01] <clone1018> how can I let www-data access /home/*/public_html and nothing else besides the owner of that directory
[20:02] <Bennlucky7> i think totem doesnt support wmv
[20:02] <leopold> Anyone has got hibernate to work on Ubuntu 12.04?
[20:02] <guntbert> !12.04 | leopold
[20:03] <dackyshawn> clone1018: what kind of access? read? write?
[20:03] <leopold> @ubottu how do I get there?
[20:03] <myutio> what kind of animal is a Pangolin?
[20:03] <clone1018> Just read dackyshawn, I chmod'd it, but it still doesnt have access
[20:03] <dackyshawn> !ubottu | leopold
[20:03] <bitplane> leopold: yes search google, it's disabled by default now (stupid decision IMO, it worked on my laptop)
[20:03] <jrib> clone1018: give world zero permissions, give your user and www-data the permissions you want (either use group permissions or ACLs)
[20:03] <xunil__> hola
[20:04] <leopold> http://www.wildlifesafari.info/images/pangolin.jpg
[20:04] <leopold> that is a pangolin
[20:04] <dackyshawn> leopold: hibernate works fine for me
[20:04] <dackyshawn> i think it depends on the computer tho
[20:05] <Chefen-dk> anybody knows something about ltsp?
[20:05] <leopold> @ dackyshawn, what kind of CPU do you have? Intel or AMD?
[20:10] <c0mrade> Hello.
[20:10] <aeon-ltd> hi
[20:10] <dackyshawn> leopold: not sure why it  matters.. but intel
[20:10] <Aufwind> How can I configure a cronjob, that runs every 25 hours (not 24!!) and which should be run let's say 5 times. Is this possible?
[20:11] <c0mrade> I am running Ubuntu 11.04 on VMware Workstation 7.0 on my Laptop with Windows 7 Enterprise Edition 32-bit.
[20:11] <Chefen-dk> i get an arp timeout on my ltsp setup.. anyknow what is caused by that?
[20:11] <escott> Aufwind, what do you mean by "run 5 times"
[20:11] <guntbert> Aufwind: I'd start 5 at-jobs for that
[20:11] <leopold> @ dackyshawn, well, my experience tell me things work better with intel. Don't know why though.
[20:12] <c0mrade> After installing a packet-crafting tool called scappy I got his error: "Can't import PyX."
[20:12] <Aufwind> escott, Well it should run now then after 25 hours then after 50 hours then after 75 ... and a last time after 125 hours from now on.
[20:13] <Aufwind> guntbert, Hm, that could work. A pitty that there is no shortcut for that. :-)
[20:13] <goddard> can anyone help me with this http://askubuntu.com/questions/120640/unity-toolbar-icons-disappear-on-boot
[20:13] <escott> Aufwind, and then what? if you only want it to run 5 times, and then never again use at
[20:13] <Aufwind> Escherial, What is "at"?
[20:14] <dackyshawn> leopold: i think it has more to do with hardware than with the actual cpu
[20:14] <c0mrade> PyX is used in Python.
[20:14] <dackyshawn> like my macbook pro has an intel but that never hibernates, but my dell hibernates even tho it's also an intel
[20:14] <morri> hi has anyone got a clue about banshee?
[20:14] <dackyshawn> i think it's about the power management
[20:15] <leopold> @ dackyshawn, jepp, and Intel and AMD has two different views on hardware. I think. Like power usage.
[20:15] <leopold> I love my simple AMD E300 CPU combined APU but for compiling large things, I need my Intel CPU and a more powerful desktop
[20:16] <goddard> ARM
[20:17] <Bennlucky7> is there any other cpu beside intel and amd?
[20:17] <guntbert> Aufwind: at   is a tool to run a job just once     like   at now+25 .....
[20:17] <leopold> Bennluck7 yes, ARM is one
[20:17] <leopold> VIA is an other
[20:18] <Aufwind> guntbert, Ah I didn't realize this is a cmd-line tool. :-)(
[20:18] <Bennlucky7> interesting
[20:19] <guntbert> Aufwind: :)
[20:19] <leopold> #U+1
[20:19] <leopold> nehepp. Trying to joing the IRC for question about Ubuntu 12.04.
[20:19] <dackyshawn> Bennlucky7: PPC is another
[20:19] <leopold> and learning how IRC works =)
[20:19] <leopold> jepp.
[20:20] <dackyshawn> I think the PS3 is a PPC
[20:20] <leopold> Remember the Power PC processor for Mac computers back in the 90'?
[20:20] <Pici> !ot
[20:20] <dackyshawn> mac use to be PPC but not anymore
[20:20] <dackyshawn> leopold: other stuff uses PPC still
[20:20] <leopold> jepp. they joined intel.
[20:20] <leopold> really? thought IBM cancelled it.
[20:21] <leopold> or was it Motorola?
[20:21] <leopold> hm...
[20:21] <leopold> Wikipedia is da shit! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC
[20:22] <pangolin> leopold, please mind your language and topic in here
[20:22] <leopold> sorry.
[20:22] <Bennlucky7> haha
[20:22] <leopold> thinking loud even when typing. bad habits i guess
[20:23] <Bennlucky7> AIM alliance
[20:24] <morri> hi, guys, quick question about banshee, which I have been using this afternoon, and which, after I tried to buy something, crashed. here some output if interested http://pastebin.com/L1qV3aWG any ideas?
[20:26] <leopold> so please remind me again, what is the topic at hand?
[20:26] <morri> http://pastebin.com/L1qV3aWG
[20:27] <SharkMuttleworth> morri: Looks like a bug alright. Cairo (2D graphics library) seemed to crash displaying the cover art possibly... Have you tried using the latest Banshee?
[20:27] <Lunar_Lander> hi there
[20:27] <guntbert> leopold: strictly ubuntu support
[20:28] <Lunar_Lander> can I calculate the checksum of a file in another way than using md5sum and sha1sum in the terminal and how do I handle a filename with spaces?
[20:28] <morri> it only crashed after trying to buy something on it, it went alright all evening
[20:28] <leopold> @ guntbert thank you for clearing that out =)
[20:28] <morri> it is banshee 2.2.1
[20:29] <SharkMuttleworth> Lunar_Lander: If spaces, use a backslash e.g. This\ Is\ A\ File - or just use tab completion like most people...
[20:29] <Lunar_Lander> ah, thanks
[20:29] <Lunar_Lander> let my try that out
[20:30] <Lunar_Lander> tab doesn't work
[20:30] <SharkMuttleworth> Lunar_Lander: Just type the first few characters of the filename then press tab, and if the terminal can match a unique name it'll autocomplete the rest
[20:30] <Lunar_Lander> ah
[20:30] <Lunar_Lander> wait
[20:30] <Lunar_Lander> yeah it did it
[20:30] <Lunar_Lander> wait
[20:30] <vio12> haloo
[20:31] <Lunar_Lander> YES!
[20:31] <Lunar_Lander> SharkMuttleworth, the backslash trick did work!
[20:31] <Lunar_Lander> thanks very much!
[20:31] <SharkMuttleworth> Lunar_Lander: This isn't unique to Linux, it works in Windows command prompt etc. Pretty old feature
[20:31] <morri> didnt have any updates recently so I assume that 2.2.1 is the most recent one
[20:31] <SharkMuttleworth> No problem
[20:31] <Lunar_Lander> I was trying out stuff like filling the spaces with %20 or having to rename the files with underscores
[20:32] <Lunar_Lander> which was tedious
[20:32] <duncan-nz> I can't find the database directory for f-spot in ubuntu 11.10. It's not in ~/gnome2 . Any ideas where it is?
[20:32] <Snii> Hi, Is there a way to make a shortcut or script that starts a terminal and runs a command (python program) and doesn't immediately close when the program closes?
[20:33] <bigtom21485> are there any programs availible for ubuntu that do similar things as microsoft publisher for windows?
[20:33] <Lunar_Lander> thanks again SharkMuttleworth and good night :)
[20:33] <duncan-nz> bigtom21485, have a look at scribus
[20:33] <SharkMuttleworth> duncan-nz: ~/.config/f-spot/repository-cache/photos.db
[20:33] <bitplane> snii, I guess you could make the command "./pythonscript.py && read"
[20:34] <bigtom21485> duncan-nz: thanks.  I don't need anything fancy, just basic stuff like cards, etc.
 add    bash ; to the script
[20:34] <bitplane> dunno if that would create a shell window though, it might not
[20:34] <duncan-nz> bigtom21485, then openoffice / libreoffice might be enough
[20:35] <RafaleM> now i'm installing kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu, i hope it is cool :)
[20:35] <SharkMuttleworth> morri: It's the lastest that Ubuntu updates to, but you can get a newer version from the official site/a ppa
[20:35] <SDr> hi!
[20:35] <SDr> how do I convert -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----  -type private keys to Putty's user key format?
[20:35] <morri> hm, Any Idea though why it happens just as I was about to go to paypal from within banshee ubuntu one?
[20:36] <SDr> alternatively, what are the googleable keywords for these?
[20:36] <bitplane> morri: you should probably ask in banshee's support channel
[20:36] <Snii> bitplane: Clever. Let's see if I can get it to work..
[20:36] <morri> there isnt any in gnome any idea where to find it?
[20:36] <daten> Hi all, I have a big question! :D, Is it possible to re-install an OS from within the OS? I have a Ubuntu LTS VPS server, it has plesk -.- , I want to re-install the OS but they dont provide the fecility for different OS's
[20:37] <tudeshi> j #mariner
[20:37] <tudeshi> is there anybody out there?
[20:37] <morri> not any on freenode either as it looks
[20:38] <leopold_> trying a reboot. see you later. =)
[20:38] <scientes> SDr, putty has a tool to convert
[20:38] <scientes> SDr, shipped with it
[20:38] <SDr> puttygen, thanks
[20:39] <scientes> SDr, and its not compatible with those, those are x509 keys, for https/tls
[20:39] <scientes> you need a ssh key
[20:39] <bitplane> morri, Banshee's support is on gimpnet I think
[20:39] <scientes> well, it could be compatible, but it wont be installed right
[20:39] <morri> they don't have banshee on their either
[20:39] <morri> there*
[20:40] <bitplane> hmm no official irc channel listed on their site
[20:40] <vio12> gh
[20:40] <SharkMuttleworth> daten: 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 them
[20:40] <Snii> c3sso: ; bash did exactly what I wanted, thanks!
[20:40] <scientes> bitmonk, try #mono
[20:40] <bitplane> oh well, I always preferred Rhythmbox anyway, glad it's coming back in 12.04
[20:40] <scientes> yeah, rhythmbox is way better
[20:40] <scientes> and mono is a POS
[20:40] <bitmonk> scientes: think you tab completed the wrong name. ;)
[20:41] <bitplane> ah!  #banshee on irc.gnome.org
[20:41] <scientes> bitmonk, no banshee is written on mono
[20:41] <bitmonk> just, i haven't spoken in here for .. weeks?
[20:41] <SharkMuttleworth> scientes: Mono is great, it brings C# to Linux.
[20:41] <daten> SharkMuttleworth, Un-installing Plesk is like removing the sysems legs lol, Its nastily involved in everything
[20:41] <JacobVengeance> Rhythmbox cannot even repeat a single song
[20:41] <bitmonk> scientes: right. i don't understand my place in this conversation.
[20:41] <bitmonk> you're looking for bitplane methinks.
[20:41] <bitmonk> kthx.
[20:41] <bitplane> JacobVengeance: why on earth would you want to repeat a song over and over? it ruins em!
[20:42] <scientes> bitmonk, oh geeze, your names are almost the same
[20:42] <parto> hello everyone
[20:42] <bitmonk> nope, mine is awesomer. ;)
[20:42] <JacobVengeance> I like to listen to songs a couple times every now and then. It doesn't ruin them for me.
[20:42]  * bitmonk ducks
[20:42] <bitplane> :P
[20:42] <morri> me neither
[20:42] <bitmonk> personally i prefer xmms 1.0.3
[20:42] <morri> I used to listen to songs a whole night and day lol
[20:42] <bitmonk> nice to -20 on a p166 mmx
[20:42] <duncan-nz> SharkMuttleworth, thanks. Why is it there? Is that the new standard location for configs?
[20:42] <JacobVengeance> Its all about opinion anyway. I prefer Banshee for features and Rhythmbox for speed.
[20:43] <agumonke1> hi back
[20:43] <morri> i like the way i had banshee set up..
[20:44] <SharkMuttleworth> duncan-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 installed
[20:44] <agumonke1> damn can't find any way to `reinstall` ubuntu
[20:44] <duncan-nz> SharkMuttleworth, how did you find out where the config file was?
[20:44] <JacobVengeance> Use USB/CD and replace previous install?
[20:46] <Snii> So 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. Is there a relatively easy way to see what background processes will be started with ubuntu, and remove/disable those who are not needed for the above?
[20:46] <daten> ok, Maybe I will re-phrase my question, Anyone ever removed plesk from a Ubuntu LTS :D
[20:46] <i7c> does anybody know a _good_ tutorial for how to setup up IPSec + L2TP (including explinations etc.)
[20:46] <duncan-nz> SharkMuttleworth, got to go. Thanks for the help.
[20:46] <SharkMuttleworth> duncan-nz: grep fspot ~/ -r
[20:47] <JacobVengeance> Anyone here use xfce or xfwm?
[20:47] <morri> i dont
[20:47] <morri> xubuntu uses it dont they?
[20:47] <Riba1122> Jacob: I do, but I might not be much help.
[20:48] <aeon-ltd> morri: yes#
[20:48] <aeon-ltd> JacobVengeance: just ask the actual question
[20:48] <JacobVengeance> It wasn't a support question, just curious if anyone else uses it. :p
[20:49] <morri> i actually use lubuntu, ...
[20:49] <Riba1122> I use xUbuntu. I was wondering if there is a way to make short-term backup files (e.g. file1~) hidden?
[20:50] <dragonkeeper> ok i have a few ip cameras set up but i dont like the cams webserver so.. is there any programs on ubuntu that i can use to view all cameras and transmit audio in both directions
[20:50] <JacobVengeance> Put a . in front of it hides it from Thunar.
[20:51] <Riba1122> I know that. I want it to be automatic.
[20:51] <Riba1122> would like*
[20:52] <JacobVengeance> What do you use to make your backups?
[20:52] <aeon-ltd> Riba1122: couldm't you just sort them into a folder then they'd be out of the way
[20:52] <Riba1122> IDK, it's automatic. The appear when I edit files.
[20:53] <dragonkeeper> Riball22 if u want to hide folders from people why not use permissions on the folder so noone but you can look into it
[20:53] <aeon-ltd> Riba1122: wut? but they'll be gone once you save and quit the application using them
[20:54] <bigtom21485> having trouble finding a good program to publsih things with...any ideas?
[20:54] <bigtom21485> *publish
[20:55] <Riba1122> aeon-ltd: The files stay, they arn't removed after closing.
[20:55] <nimesh> NimeshNeema, hello
[20:55] <JacobVengeance> They shouldn't in most cases.
[20:56] <aeon-ltd> and if they do they're usually controlled in the prefs of the app
[20:56] <james-ubc> is linux mint's DE just gnome-shell with a few extensions?

[20:56] <pangolin> !mint | james-ubc
[20:57] <aeon-ltd> james-ubc: i'll need to check but i think it might be 'mate' not gnomeshell

[20:59] <Guest48711> i'm not connect
[20:59] <jaequery> hi im thinking of upgrading my kernel from 2.6x to 3.x and i'm on 10.04.  will this affect any of my current packages? and how about for future times i use apt-get? will they stop working due to incompatibilities of the kernel?
[21:00] <Guest48711> amule not connect
[21:00] <Guest48711> why?
[21:01] <JacobVengeance> jaequery, How do you plan on doing it?

[21:03] <lake> does `apt-get update` ever prompt for user confirmation?
[21:04] <bastidrazor> lake: if you're installing a single package with no dependencies it doesn't otherwise it does.
[21:04] <morri> i put up a new paste using sudo sysctl kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=0 before the banshee debug http://pastebin.com/qENT0yiK
[21:04] <morri> maybe this helps any further?
[21:04] <lake> bastidrazor: not installing a package, running, `apt-get update`
[21:05] <bastidrazor> lake: right.. what confirmation are you wanting?
[21:05] <preaking> #tenerife
[21:05] <JacobVengeance> jaequery, I don't recommend compiling the kernel from source on Ubuntu.

[21:06] <Shirakawasuna> Does anyone here know how to get flash unbroken?
[21:06] <bastidrazor> lake: no
[21:06] <Shirakawasuna> For me it is either 1) all yellowish-pink -> blue (everyone's a smurf) or 2) jittery playback
[21:07] <dlentz> Shirakawasuna, right-click and disable hardware acceleration
[21:07] <JacobVengeance> jaequery, I think there is ppas for kernel backports from 11.10
[21:07] <morri> install the previous flash
[21:07] <lake> bastidrazor: thank you kindly
[21:07] <morri> you can get the link at the thread at ubuntu forums
[21:08] <jaequery> but whats the difference?
[21:08] <Shirakawasuna> dlentz: did that, still broken. Now it runs at ~half speed
[21:09] <JacobVengeance> jaequery, I am not sure. I just know I would rather use a backport on my system if I was still back on lucid
[21:10] <dlentz> lake, if in doubt, why not use it?
[21:11] <bastidrazor> dlentz: update is only downloading packages and has no interaction.
[21:12] <dlentz> bastidrazor, that's what i thought, but if iwasn't sure, i would use -y (it's not going to make the command fail)

[21:29] <Praxi> Anyone use Gnome-DO?  I notice that when I pull up dbvisualizer with it, it takes a long time vs me just running the shortcut off the desktop
[21:30] <xangua> Praxi: if you want a fast and light launchet better try Synapse
[21:32] <sirknight> chuck_, whats?
[21:34] <Praxi> xangua is synapse better than gnome-do for some reason?
[21:34] <sirknight> is it possible to use your webcam on both machines host/and guest?
[21:34] <Mofasa> my computer keep shutting off itself from time to time. Says like when u use the shutdown cmd in all terminals Description: (unknown). Anyone know why this might happen? Or how to figure out...
[21:35] <xangua> Praxi: i thin i said it......light, fast and still in development, no idea what are you looking for
[21:36] <dlentz> Mofasa, make sure it's not overheating
[21:36] <Mofasa> dlentz: even if it were, would it just do it like that?
[21:37] <Mofasa> I know my laptop got a tendency to become warm.
[21:37] <dlentz> yeah, if a system gets hot enough, it will automatically shutdown to prevent damag
[21:37] <dragonkeeper> trying to install a package  but it complains libavcodec52 is needed but when i use cli to try install that package its non existent
[21:37] <wolfric> hey i get speed: unknown when i do "sudo dmidecode --type 17"
[21:38] <dlentz> dragonkeeper, what package and was it made for your version of ubuntu?
[21:39] <Mofasa> Ok took it out of the bed now at least :P we'll see if it continues anyway
[21:39] <dragonkeeper> dlentz hmm gonna double check
[21:39] <jpollard> dragonkeeper: It would seem that libavcodec52 is only packaged for the lucid series.
[21:40] <jpollard> What version of ubuntu are you running?
[21:40] <dragonkeeper> oh seems i clicked natty .   im on 12.04
[21:40] <xangua> dragonkeeper: #ubuntu+1 for pangolin
[21:40] <dragonkeeper> ok
[21:45] <Mofasa> dlentz: u have any idea why my laptop gets so warm? By just running the OS the cpu lies at around 70c, i've checked for dust etc
[21:45] <Mofasa> nothing...
[21:45] <morri> clean the fan
[21:46] <d-bugger> Mofasa: check the speed its running at - there are files in /sys you can read to find out
[21:47] <d-bugger> Mofasa: run "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor"
[21:47] <Mofasa> on demand
[21:47] <Praxi> Mofasa, might also check the bios to make sure speed step isn't disabled
[21:47] <d-bugger> thats the right one
[21:47] <Praxi> assuming its intel
[21:47] <Mofasa> yup Praxi
[21:48] <dlentz> mofasa, what kind of laptop?
[21:48] <d-bugger> whats the usual load on the machine?
[21:48] <Mofasa> T60
[21:48] <Mofasa> around what its now. which is...
[21:48] <Mofasa> 0.01, 0.09, 0.16
[21:48] <d-bugger> doesnt seem too high
[21:49] <BarkingFish> hardly seems like it's doing anything :)
[21:49] <OerHeks> Mofasa, change to unity 2D, and Temp will drop.
[21:49] <d-bugger> do 'echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
[21:49] <gdane1> did someone try Midori?
[21:49] <d-bugger> that command shifts to a lower power utilization on the cpu
[21:50] <dlentz> Mofasa: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/751689
[21:50] <d-bugger> you will get lower performance, though
[21:50] <gdane1> i have a netbook, what web browser is better to use at netbook?
[21:50] <d-bugger> gdane1: personally, Chrome
[21:50] <Praxi> gdane1, personal preference: Chrome
[21:51] <Mofasa> thats prty much the exact problem im having dlentz
[21:51] <Mofasa> will check it out
[21:55] <fishcooker> how to download torrent file from www.thepiratebay.se/torrent/5102097 but in cli.. my server support only for cli
[21:55] <d-bugger> fishcooker: wget <url>
[21:55] <fishcooker> eg: thepiratebay.se/torrent/5102097 where i can't download the torrent file
[21:55] <bean> fishcooker: tpb only does magnet links i think.
[21:55] <vio12> from medaifaire house
[21:56] <dragonkeeper> fishcooker TPB is only magnet links but i think there is a torrent client that runs fully cli
[21:57] <poettone> I have recently setup two ubuntu 11.10 machines, one using wubi on top of windows Vista, the other on bare metal. I noticed on my wubi machine under the network applet it shows "wired connection 1" last used 1 minute. The bare metal machine has nothing listed under the applet but I'm on that machine and connected.  I think I need to report this as a possible issue with the applet itself. Does anyone know where to post this as a possible bug?
[21:58] <BarkingFish> !bugs
[21:58] <Praxi> dragonkeeper, you are correct about magnet links only http://www.techspot.com/news/47606-the-pirate-bay-completes-switch-to-magnet-links.html

[22:04] <Mofasa> d-bugger: maybe a silly question, but im trying to edit the acpi fan control
[22:04] <Mofasa> but it gives me permission denied, even when running as su
[22:05] <Mofasa> tried both echo and tee
[22:07] <jpollard> Mofasa: Try su -l instead of su
[22:11] <d-bugger> Mofasa: hope you're aware that sudo requires the current user's password, while su requires the root password
[22:12] <qubit[0|1]> d-bugger,  ?
[22:13] <d-bugger> qubit[0|1]: ?
[22:13] <qubit[0|1]> d-bugger, !
[22:13] <qubit[0|1]> sorry verifiying that, one second
[22:13] <jpollard> Mofasa: When you say access denied, do you mean when you run su, or when you try and configure acpi?
[22:14] <qubit[0|1]> d-bugger, you're totally right sorry
[22:17] <Replicant> but you can always run "sudo su" or "sudo -i" to access a root shell
[22:18] <Replicant> if your user is in admin or wheel group
[22:18] <Replicant> (usually)
[22:20] <d-bugger> qubit[0|1]: relax, dude, no formalities :)
[22:25] <Scott_Z> I want to change to 64 bit but can only find amd64. I have an intel chip. what should i download?
[22:25] <DrBrownbear> amd64 is fine Scott_Z
[22:25] <d-bugger> Scott_Z: the name is misleading - its cause AMD created the 64-bit spec
[22:26] <Scott_Z> is there any advantage to downloading the server addition over the desktop?
[22:26] <d-bugger> if you remember, intel's 64 bit was called Itanium, which failed
[22:26] <d-bugger> Scott_Z: faster bootup, lower hardware requirements
[22:26] <d-bugger> keep in mind that ubuntu server does not include the GUI
[22:28] <madm1ke> why is there still thunderbird 3.1 in natty - is it safe to stay on this version?
[22:28] <Scott_Z> ahhh ok thanks I will stick with the desktop. This will be a first for me. I have spent several weeks tweeking the 32bit version. is there any way to list all the packages and libs and such that I have already installed so that I can easily get them all again?
[22:28] <d-bugger> using the GUI? In Synaptic
[22:28] <xangua> madm1ke: there is a thunderbird PPA
[22:29] <d-bugger> it has a 'status' which shows only the installed ones
[22:30] <Scott_Z> but that does not show some of the lib-devs and such. is there something like apt-get or apt-cache or something that will list everything that i can redirect to a file?
[22:30] <madm1ke> xangua: i'm trying to avoid ppa and tird party respos
[22:30] <wylde> Scott_Z: you can do "dpkg -l >> ~/mypackages.txt" to make a list of installed packages
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> madm1ke: you can grab the archive of the new version and copy it to /opt then symlink the binary into /usr/bin  you will then need to manually make a .desktop in /usr/share/icons to run the command
[22:32] <wylde> Scott_Z: I believe there's a utility called apt-clone too.
[22:32] <wylde> !info apt-clone
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> !clone
[22:32] <madm1ke> ActionParsnip: well i still need security updates...
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> madm1ke: its one way to do it, the PPA is far more graceful
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> madm1ke: plus, when the PPA gets updated, your system will update too
[22:34] <madm1ke> ActionParsnip: okay, point taken. still, do you know why there still is 3.1 in natty and if i can rely on this versions' security updates?
[22:34] <eph3meral> what is giving me the notifications in my XFCE system tray if it's not xfce4-notifyd (which isn't installed)
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> madm1ke: the PPA will be fine. Not sure about the versioning of thunderbird in Natty. I don't use Mozilla products
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> madm1ke: could report a bug
[22:36] <wylde> ls
[22:36] <wylde> whoops
[22:38] <eph3meral> i keep getting a mail icon in my system tray
[22:38] <Scott_Z> ubottu: thanks that is exactly what i was looking for.
[22:38] <eph3meral> but it's not new email, it's stupid sh*** like "volume has been changed to xxx%"
[22:38] <eph3meral> duh, i just changed the volume! i know!

[22:43] <eph3meral> ActionParsnip, http://pastie.org/private/rtz0egdykzweacoq4dlla so... which thing do I configure in this case?
[22:43] <eph3meral> i googled for notify-osd but that's somewhat obviously not it
[22:44] <eph3meral> ActionParsnip, oh nm, i think i found it in the panel config settings
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> eph3meral: possibly /usr/lib/notification-daemon/notification-daemon
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> eph3meral: nice
[22:45] <eph3meral> ahh, but yet I didn't, lol
[22:45] <eph3meral> yeah might be notification-daemon
[22:45] <eph3meral> cuz "known applications" just includes one called "Notifications"... thanks XFCE, how descriptive
[22:46] <parto_> hi
[22:52] <eph3meral> babble, A) don't msg people without permission and B) if you had payed attention to my original post you'd know that xfce4-notifyd is not installed
[22:53] <eph3meral> babble, lol, tedious?
[22:53] <eph3meral> A) don't msg people and B) you're wrong, lol
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> ubunt: does it need root access and does it need the desktop to be running?
[22:53] <eph3meral> it's not tedious, it's the truth, sometimes the truth hurts :P
[22:54] <eph3meral> why tf would you answer me outside the channel?

[22:55] <Mindwalk> This is insane..
[22:55] <Tynach> Hey, I'm having a REALLY weird problem.
[22:56] <Mindwalk> Everyone does
[22:56] <Tynach> Youtube videos using Flash have the wrong hue, as if someone took the hue slider and pushed it to some weird position.
[22:56] <ubunt> ActionParsnip, waas a script with iptables lines sharing internet connection in lan :)
[22:56] <Mindwalk> Let's hear yours
[22:56] <Tynach> However, no other flash content is affected.
[22:56] <Tynach> It's ONLY YouTube.
[22:56] <TheAnonLight> hello
[22:56] <d-bugger> Tynach: granted, that IS weird
[22:56] <Tynach> And the HTML5 versions are fine... But not all youtube videos support HTML5, which is a shame.
[22:56] <Tynach> d-bugger, I told ya ;p
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> ubunt: reference it in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line, it will run as root and set the rule, be sure the file is executable. the file extension doesn't mean anything
[22:57] <d-bugger> Tynach: any chance its a codec issue? The codec ought to be a part of flash
[22:57] <gmachine_24> Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 02 - network card ...have installed b43-fwcutter and firmware-b43-installer...... but cannot get the wireless to work
[22:57] <d-bugger> i have no idea how to reinstall flash, but thats the action id take
[22:57] <ubunt> ActionParsnip, already done with /etc/init.d + update-rc.d filename defaults :) i'll try in 5 minutes eheh
[22:58] <Tynach> d-bugger, it used to work fine. And the video otherwise plays fine. Also, if I turn off hardware acceleration, it plays fine... But a bit choppy if I make it fullscreen.
[22:58] <Tynach> I'm a fairly advanced user, I know Bash scripting, I'm into C/C++ programming, and I have no clue what's causing this problem. I've tried deleting all flash related stuff in my .config and .local folders (that I could find), to no avail. I've not yet tried making an empty user (or using Guest).
[22:58] <Sonic132> Are there any special preparations that need doing if you want to install Linux on one HD and leave Windows alone on another HD?
[22:59] <d-bugger> Tynach: did you say that turning off acceleration fixes the problem?
[22:59] <Tynach> d-bugger, I already tried re-installing flash ;p
[22:59] <Al_nz1> what do you call that launch bar on the left hand side of 11.10?
[22:59] <ga_sk8er> how do i install java?
[22:59] <Tynach> d-bugger, yes, it does fix the problem. But causes a host of other problems, particularly when concerned with performance.
[22:59] <d-bugger> Tynach: how many colors are you running at?
[23:00] <Tynach> d-bugger, what do you mean? bpp? 24.
[23:00] <d-bugger> ga_sk8er: just download it off oracle.com, run the .bin - it will self extract

[23:01] <Tynach> d-bugger, openjdk-7 is in the repos.
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> Al_nz1: you can run firefox via SSH with x forwarding, as well as the other apps
[23:02] <Al_nz1> ActionParsnip: how do I start firefox in ssh show it shows on the vnc session?
[23:02] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip, I see. Any special directions for installing Linux alongside Win7 on a different HDD than Win7?
[23:02] <Tynach> d-bugger, I have an nVidia GeForce 9800 GT, and am using driver version 295.20.
[23:03] <d-bugger> Tynach: sory, bro, ran out of ideas
[23:04] <d-bugger> hope someone else here knows better
[23:04]  * trench yawns
[23:04] <Tynach> d-bugger, I'm going to try using it as Guest. If the problem goes away, it's a config issue. If it does not, then I'm going to try reverting to the 'recommended' version of my graphics driver (I'm currently running newest possible).
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> Al_nz1: just connect with:  ssh -X username@servername     then run:  firefox    and it will show on the desktop
[23:05] <Tynach> ActionParsnip, that will run Firefox visually on their own desktop, not on the remote VNC desktop.
[23:05] <d-bugger> Tynach: that seems to be the right thing to do. All the best
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> Tynach: yes. Why does it need to run in the remote desktop?
[23:05] <Tynach> Which I think is what they meant (like starting programs 'magically').
[23:05] <kbrosnan> Tynach: firefox -P -no-remote
[23:06] <Tynach> ActionParsnip, he said "how do I start firefox in ssh show it shows on the vnc session?" Note he wanted it to show on the VNC session.
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: just tell the installer to use the other drive, if you unpartition it first it makes life a lot easier.
[23:06] <spacebug-> Tynach: I', using 295.33 on my Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT
[23:06] <Tynach> Thanks anyway d-bugger. Hope I can get this :)
[23:07] <Tynach> spacebug-, how'd you get that?
[23:07] <Head> hey all
[23:08] <Sonic132> That's what I thought ActionParsnip. Thanks.
[23:08] <Head> ubuntu will not shutdown, only log out
[23:08] <Head> even after press shutdown
[23:08] <Head> why only log out? WHY ?
[23:08] <BarkingFish> Head, which Ubuntu version are you using?
[23:08] <Head> 11.10
[23:08] <Tynach> Head, 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] <Sonic132> How 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] <Tynach> After that, Head, type this command: sudo shutdown -h now
[23:09] <BarkingFish> Head, are you able to shut the system down from a console or terminal?
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> Head: if you run:  sudo shutdown -h now     does it turn off?
[23:09] <BarkingFish> ah, never mind, been dealt with
[23:09] <spacebug-> Tynach: let me check
[23:09] <Head> BarkingFish: through console
[23:09] <Head> press the windows button, and find shutdown in search
[23:09] <Head> used to shutdown pc
[23:10] <Head> now only logs out
[23:10] <BarkingFish> Have you updated anything since this last worked?
[23:10] <spacebug-> oh sorry Tynach, I'm on 12.04 :/
[23:10] <Tynach> Ah, spacebug-, that explains it. I'm on 11.10 still. Plan on moving to 12.04 during this summer :)
[23:10] <spacebug-> ;)
[23:10] <xangua> spacebug-: #ubuntu+1 for pangolin support
[23:11] <spacebug-> xangua: I know, I'm there and I'm not seeking support I was trying to help Tynach but I forgot I was currently in this channel
[23:12] <BarkingFish> Head, (sorry, I keep forgetting to address people in here!) - have you updated any of your software (kernel, etc) since this last worked for you?
[23:14] <Head> sup I´m back
[23:14] <Head> what is ctrl+alt_f5?
[23:14] <Tynach> Ok spacebug- and d-bugger, I've tried it in the guest account. Same issue.
[23:14] <Head> it turned my screen black
[23:15] <Tynach> Head, 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] <Tynach> Traditionally, they are 1 - 6, with 7 and up being X sessions.
[23:16] <Tynach> However, 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] <Head> hmm its a little disturbing
[23:17] <Head> but why doesnt shutdown work anymore through console?
[23:17] <Head> any reason ?
[23:17] <BarkingFish> Head, (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] <Head> and logs me out instead?
[23:17] <Tynach> So yeah, I suppose it'd be easier (more friendly?) to open a terminal (press windows key, type 'terminal').
[23:17] <BarkingFish> I just asked you about that just as you got reset, Head :)
[23:17] <Tynach> Head, when you say Console, what do you mean? The 'windows key' thing is not a console.
[23:17] <Head> BF: I think I did
[23:18] <Head> anyway to retrace?
[23:18] <BarkingFish> do you know what you updated?
[23:18] <Head> or return back to original settings?
[23:18] <Head> not sure..
[23:18] <Head> can I restore somehow ?
[23:18] <Al_nz1> ActionParsnip: I need teamviwer to run in remote desktop so I can make it accept connections
[23:18] <Al_nz1> it doesnt seem to at the moment
[23:18] <BarkingFish> I don't know, maybe someone here can sort that for you, Head - sorry
[23:18] <Head> Tynach, I press the windows button indeed
[23:18] <Head> and type shutdown there
[23:19] <Head> and click the shutdown button
[23:19] <Head> and then get logged out instead
[23:19] <Tynach> Head, that's not how you shutdown the computer. That doesn't even work on my end either.
[23:19] <Head> @Tynach Through terminal only then ?
[23:19] <Tynach> Head, are you using Unity?
[23:20] <Head> Tynach, what is unity?
[23:20] <Head> the gui interface??
[23:20] <Tynach> Head, it is the default user interface for Ubuntu 11.04 and Ubuntu 11.10.
[23:20] <Praxi> Al_nz1, so you want to RDP to a computer, then run teamviewer from the computer you just remoted to?
[23:20] <Tynach> It has one bar at the top, and a thicker bar on the left side. Is that what you have?
[23:20] <Al_nz1> Praxi: for 1 teamviewer is faster
[23:20] <Head> Tynach, i believe I am
[23:20] <Tynach> Ok.
[23:21] <Al_nz1> Praxi 2: vnc is broken - I cant see the desktop properly
[23:21] <Praxi> Al_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] <Tynach> Head, 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] <Tynach> Click on that, and it will give you 3 options: Shut down, Restart, or Cancel.
[23:21] <Al_nz1> Praxi: no - all same computer
[23:21] <Tynach> Click on 'Shut Down' or 'Restart'.
[23:22] <Head> yeh, when I click that, it only logs me out
[23:22] <Tynach> Ok. Then we'll try something new.
[23:22] <Al_nz1> Praxi: so far I can vnc in, but cant get the gnome taskbar that allows you to launch applciations
[23:22] <Head> Tynach, how do I address a message to you in color red?
[23:23] <Sonic132> Is there a way to see whether my partition resize operation is actually ongoing or if it's just crashed?
[23:23] <Tynach> Head, 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] <Praxi> Al_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] <Head> Thank you Tynach
[23:23] <cwwang> usdjpy
[23:24] <cwwang> join #usdjpy
[23:24] <Tynach> Head, 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_nz1> Praxi: whats simple? I cant start teamviewer, because I have no access to the icon to start it
[23:24] <Praxi> full screen your VNC window
[23:24] <Tynach> It 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] <bhermz> I'm having the same shutdown issue as Head, I can shut down from the terminal
[23:24] <Al_nz1> Praxi: done
[23:24] <Praxi> Al_nz1, or open a terminal by hitting "CTRL ALT T" and type teamviewer7
[23:25] <ragger> Anyone else use boxee?
[23:25] <Head> @bhermz annoying innit?
[23:25] <Tynach> bhermz, have you changed display managers? Like using KDM instead of GDM or LightDM?
[23:25] <Al_nz1> Praxi: how do you send "CTRL-ALT-T" over VNC?
[23:25] <Head> Tynach I know this command
[23:25] <Head> Tynach, it works Iḿ sure of that
[23:26] <Head> Tynach ;)
[23:26] <bhermz> Nope, 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 anything
[23:26] <Sonic132> Disregard last question. Operation finally completed.
[23:26] <Praxi> Al_nz1, thats dependant on your VNC client, I suggest you try Remmina, it has a easy mode button at top for sending keys
[23:27] <Praxi> Al_nz1, are you useing VNC from another linux box?
[23:27] <Al_nz1> Praxi: no windows
[23:27] <Tynach> bhermz, have you installed any server software lately?
[23:27] <Praxi> what VNC client are you using Al_nz1
[23:27] <bhermz> actually yes, tomcat. That may be related?
[23:28] <Tynach> bhermz, 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_nz1> got ultravnc and realvnc
[23:28] <Sonic132> What's the recommended swap size again? Given that we have about 4GB of RAM?
[23:28] <Sonic132> Or do I even need a swap partition?
[23:29] <bhermz> the repositories. And, come to think of it, I haven't tried shutting it down when logging out.
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: do you need hibernate?
[23:29] <Praxi> Al_nz1, http://www.uvnc.com/install/usage.html  <--"Send Custom Key"
[23:29] <SaRSAeOL> Sonic132: standard swap is same size as RAM
[23:29] <Tynach> Sonic132, 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.
[23:30] <bhermz> I'll try that and let you know if it works.. thanks for the suggestion Tynach
[23:30] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip, 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] <Apteryx> Hi! 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 entry
[23:30] <SaRSAeOL> Sonic132: olden days swap was twice ram
[23:30] <Praxi> Al_nz1, When SCROLL-LOCK is activated, all key combinations (except CTRL+ALT+DEL) are directly sent to the remote computer:
[23:30] <Apteryx> any other ideas?
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: if you need Hibernate I'd use 4.25Gb for swap, if not then don't bother
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> Apteryx: what wireless chip?
[23:30] <Sonic132> GB=Gib?
[23:30] <Apteryx> by 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.
[23:31] <Al_nz1> Praxi: your a LEGEND!
[23:31] <Tynach> Sonic132, GiB means that it uses numbers like 1024, and GB means it uses numbers like 1000.
[23:31] <Sonic132> Also, thanks for all the helpful responses on that one.
[23:31] <Al_nz1> I got teamviewer running
[23:31] <Sonic132> Tynach, I see.
[23:31] <Tynach> Sonic132, 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] <Apteryx> ActionParsnip: 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-bugger> Sonic132: other than for hibernation, linux works fine without any swap too
[23:32] <Apteryx> ActionParsnip: I'll mail this to her and she will get back to me with the results
[23:33] <Apteryx> ActionParsnip: 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] <Sonic132> I thought so. I installed Linux before without swap and was pleasantly surprised that it seemed to work fine.
[23:33] <Praxi> nice Al_nz1
[23:33] <ActionParsnip> Apteryx: sudo lshw -C network     will tell you a lot
[23:34] <Al_nz1> Praxi: dissapointly even teamvieer is not rendering gnome well
[23:34] <Praxi> Is the resolution too small Al_nz1?
[23:34] <Al_nz1> Praxi: team viewer scales
[23:34] <Praxi> Al_nz1, if your running headless (without a monitor) it defaults the resolution to some default minimum
[23:35] <Apteryx> ActionParsnip: but will she get output if the driver module isn't loaded?
[23:35] <Praxi> Al_nz1, are you running headless?
[23:35] <mfilipe> ubuntu one for precise pangolin won't have contacts sync?
[23:35] <Tynach> Al_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] <Apteryx> ActionParsnip: I was under the impression that no, that's why I used the "lspci" command instead.
[23:35] <Apteryx> to troubleshoot
[23:36] <Al_nz1> Tynach: can I change that globally via CLI?
[23:36] <Tynach> Al_nz1, I have no idea.
[23:36] <mouth1> Unity vs GNOME 3?
[23:36] <ActionParsnip> mouth1: unity is a shell for gnome3, so the question is nonsensical
[23:36] <mouth1> oh sorry
[23:36] <arkaniad> gnome shell vs unity, ftfy
[23:36] <mouth1> Unity vs GNOME Shell?
[23:36] <mouth1> :)
[23:36] <ActionParsnip> mouth1: polls are offtopic here, this is suppor
[23:36] <ActionParsnip> *support
[23:37] <mouth1> oops
[23:37] <mouth1> sorry
[23:38] <Aeriel> hi, anyone is having trouble with ssh connections?
[23:38] <Al_nz1> Tynach: you any good with iptables?
[23:38] <Aeriel> i've set up my client(ubuntu) to use protocol 2
[23:39] <Aeriel> and my server too (arch)
[23:39] <mfilipe> will be there contacts sync in Ubuntu One for 12.04 LTS?
[23:39] <Aeriel> but it cant recognize the password
[23:39] <Aeriel> i think is something about the protocol
[23:40] <Aeriel> oh, and it doesnt recognize my  server ecdsa fingerprint
[23:40] <Aeriel> it treats it as RSA
[23:41] <Aeriel> anyone had this problem?
[23:43] <Sonic132> Anyone else have the issue during the install 'wizard' where it freezes up for 5 minutes at a time between pages?
[23:44] <Tynach> Al_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] <Sonic132> Bootloader has to be on the same HDD as Windows when Dualbooting correct?
[23:45] <i7c> Sonic132: not, does not have to be.
[23:45] <Tynach> Al_nz1, https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/firewall.html
[23:45] <Al_nz1> Tynach: ok for a PM?
[23:45] <Sonic132> i7c, So I can install it to any partition?
[23:45] <Tynach> Al_nz1, I'm fine with PMs :)
[23:46] <i7c> Sonic132: mhm i have grub on sda together with linux mint and win7 on sdb.... it works. can't swear for you tho
[23:46] <Aeriel> anyone is experiencing problems with ssh connections???
[23:46] <Tynach> Sonic132, 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.
[23:47] <Sonic132> Tynach, Oh ok. That sounds right. Also, was thinking of installing to the same partition as linux.
[23:47] <Tynach> Sonic132, well, /boot will be in your Linux partition, naturally ;)
[23:47] <Aeriel> i've set up my client(ubuntu) to use protocol 2
[23:48] <Aeriel> and it doesnt recognize my  server ecdsa fingerprint
[23:48] <i7c> Sonic132: are those sata hds?
[23:48] <Aeriel> treats it like RSA
[23:48] <Aeriel> i've searched everything
[23:48] <Sonic132> i7c, I believe so. It's my Dads computer ;)
[23:48] <Aeriel> and nothing helped
[23:48] <Sonic132> i7c, Oh yeah. It's all SATA I think.
[23:48] <i7c> Sonic132: 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...
[23:49] <Sonic132> i7c, 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?
[23:50] <Tynach> Sonic132, 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] <i7c> Sonic132: 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] <Sonic132> I'
[23:51] <i7c> Sonic132: oh now i get it. you only have one physical HD...
[23:51] <Sonic132> I'm a bit confused now.
[23:51] <Sonic132> i7c, No we have two physical HDs and several external.
[23:52] <Tynach> Sonic132, you should install GRUB to the hard drive that has Linux on it. Hard drives and partitions are VERY different beasts.
[23:52] <Sonic132> i7c, I want to install Linux on one HDD and Windows can have one all by itself.
[23:52] <i7c> Sonic132: okay i get it now. then it should work just like Tynach said right now :)
[23:53] <Sonic132> So sdb instead of sdb1 correct?
[23:53] <i7c> Sonic132: yeh.
[23:55] <djjonex> any with Magento experience?
[23:56] <BarkingFish> djjonex, If you just ask your question, rather than asking for people who know about something specific, you might get on a bit faster :)
[23:56] <stuck109> Where can  i find the directory for my USB ports?
[23:57] <djjonex> need to figure out how to  make urls rewrite on localhost
[23:57] <Tynach> Sonic132, if sdb is the Linux drive, then yes, install it there. If sda is the Linux drive, install Grub there. Sorry for the wait.
[23:58] <Sonic132> Tynach, It's all good. I'm fairly confident now that it will install Linux properly ;)
[23:58] <mikeconcepts> I get an awe snap from chromium but not firefox on this link http://www.tvkim.com/watch/1731/kims-picks-drone-helicopters-in-formation?utm_medium=nl&utm_source=notd&utm_content=2012-04-10-article&utm_campaign=end-f
[23:58] <Sonic132> It's running.
[23:58] <Tynach> Sonic132, awesome :) I have a bit of weird experience with installs... My own install required I use the alternative installer CD, because I use LVM.
[23:59] <i7c> Sonic132: yay :)
[23:59] <Tynach> I have a bunch of smaller hard drives that I have all LVM'd together to make one giant blob of one. This is one reason why I can't wait for Btrfs to become the norm - won't have to do this anymore :)
[23:59] <mikeconcepts> chromium needs something but what?
