[00:00] <toraux_> I'm having an issue where wifi starts fine on bootup and then sometime later packet loss goes through the roof and performance becomes horrible, any ideas?
[00:00] <GeForce88> ubuntu 11.10. where is the screensaver feature and how do i enable screensavers and how do i get electric sheep to work ? all video drivers updated and installed.
[00:00] <Boohbah> Bndrr: you would have to stop the service that is running on that port. nmap does not do that
[00:01] <Timvde> Correct me if I'm wrong: nvidia drivers current will install the current newest drivers and keep them forever, while current-updates will keep them up-to-date whenever nvidia releases a new version,
[00:01] <Timvde> ?
[00:01] <Bndrr> and then how can I close that port ?or stop the service
[00:02] <dasen> Bndrr: one way is to configure  your firewall to block incoming connections to that specified port, try gufw
[00:02] <OerHeks> GeForce88, maybe this page is any help >> http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/10/enable-screensavers-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/
[00:02] <Bndrr> gufw ?
[00:02] <wylde> !ufw | Bndrr
[00:02] <OerHeks> Timvde, yes nvidia will be up2date
[00:03] <pilotbub> where do I find wifi drivers for dell integrated chipset
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: run:  sudo lshw -C network    what is the product line for the wifi?
[00:07] <pilotbub> PCI (sysfs)
[00:08] <pilotbub> broadcom
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: wait, your pci bus is slow
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: is that all it says for the product line?
[00:08] <gensu> Hello
[00:08] <pilotbub> bcm4311
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | pilotbub
[00:09] <pilotbub> thank you
[00:10] <pilotbub> what would you advise for getting STA to an unnetworked laptop
[00:10] <gensu> Quit
[00:11] <GeForce88> OerHeks, yea, but i'm still not finding electric sheep in the pull down list like i did with 10.10i'll keep looking i reckon
[00:12] <OerHeks> GeForce88, electric sheep i don't know
[00:12] <doctrhu> hello all
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: use a wired connection
[00:14] <pilotbub> this is such a pita
[00:14] <StepNjump> Anybody of you guys ever experience that your USB mouse disapears?
[00:14] <StepNjump> I'm plugged in a USB router
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: imagine if you had windows and no driver disks...same deal
[00:15] <pilotbub> windows support OTB
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: there is the offline way using the install CD as a source of packages but a wired conenction will make it a LOT easier
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: not ALL wireless adapters
[00:15] <OerHeks> !offline | pilotbub
[00:15] <pilotbub> my install doesnt appear to have synaptic
[00:16] <OerHeks> true, synaptic is not default installed anymore
[00:16] <pilotbub> ubuntu partnered with dell im surprised its this complex
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: use software centre
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: its not complex. You run an application and click 'enable driver'
[00:17] <egghead> why might I get a blank screen after enabling nvidia drivers? (nvs4200m w/ optimus)
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: how much easier can it get
[00:17] <pilotbub> what app
[00:17] <egghead> should I try disabling optimus?
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: 'additional drivers'
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> egghead: optimus can be a real pain
[00:18] <egghead> ya it can
[00:18] <egghead> but if I disable optimus does that disable the nvidia card
[00:18] <egghead> ?
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: yuo can also use the wired connection to get full updates
[00:20] <egghead> hmm, specifically the xorg log is showing 'no screens found'
[00:21] <pilotbub> how about the install from cd method
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: its on the guide ubottu gave....
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: the wired connection is a lot easier
[00:23] <pilotbub> no patch cable atm
[00:23] <pilotbub> i mounted the ISO
[00:24] <pilotbub> what next?
[00:24]  * wylde_ puts his spoon away and goes for coffee ;)
[00:24] <fishcooker> i've connect the bluetooth device with my ubuntu-box
[00:25] <fishcooker> on what /dev/XXXX it should be mounted
[00:25] <fishcooker> ?
[00:25] <fishcooker> i can't see the log on $ dmesg
[00:25] <Superbest> What's a good size for my xubuntu 11.04 /boot/ partition?
[00:26] <fishcooker> 100MB
[00:26] <fishcooker> superbest
[00:26] <fishcooker> it would be enough
[00:26] <Superbest> fishcooker, 100+ or 100-?
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: read the guide, 3rd time...
[00:26] <fishcooker> if u don't want collect many kernels
[00:26] <DropsOfSerenity> Superbest, don't need more than 100Mb
[00:26] <pilotbub> the guide says double click the deb
[00:27] <pilotbub> software centre cant handle it
[00:27] <fishcooker> 100- superbest
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: it doesn't, not for the offline install.
[00:27] <Superbest> ah okay, thanks fishcooker / DropsOfSerenity
[00:27] <pilotbub> Navigate the install media and install the packages listed below by double clicking or navigate the install media and install these packages consecutively in a terminal
[00:27] <fishcooker> dropsofserenity
[00:27] <fishcooker> can u help solving my probs
[00:28] <L3top> egghead, do you want to try some experiments? May work, may make things worse.
[00:28] <splic> Hello, I have a quick question: I've made a long bash pipeline that really only depends on one variable, what's the easiest way I can reuse it? Thank you.
[00:28] <L3top> egghead: I am currently working on trying to disable the discrete hw for auto detection on a project I work on, but I don't have the hardware.
[00:29] <solco> set -o vi
[00:29] <solco> then esc
[00:29] <solco> you are in vi mode
[00:29] <pilotbub> software centre says its all installed but still no wireless
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: http://paste.ubuntu.com/927257/
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: why you just won't use the wired connection is beyond me, unless you like doing things the hard way just for kicks
[00:31] <doctrhu> can someone pm me to help me install a program ive never used ubuntu before
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: that pastebin is a direct copy/paste from the page ubottu gave
[00:31] <phillijw> doctrhu: just type sudo apt-get install programname
[00:31] <chilired> what do you want to install
[00:31] <Superbest> is ext4 fine for /boot?
[00:31] <pilotbub> fatal; module ssb in ue
[00:31] <dv310p3r> Can I make the launcher smaller?
[00:31] <dv310p3r> Sorry in Unity.
[00:32] <pilotbub> rebooting...
[00:32] <OerHeks> dv310p3r, i use my-unity for control of that sidebar
[00:33] <doctrhu> chilired can i pm plz
[00:33] <chilired> sure
[00:33] <pilotbub> nop same crapola
[00:33] <dv310p3r> OerHeks, that only allows you to make it 32 pixels. I'd like it to go smaller.
[00:34] <pilotbub> good ol linux always ready to disappoint
[00:34] <OerHeks> dv310p3r, nope, maybe it can be done in 12.04
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: windows would be the same
[00:34] <pilotbub> windows works otb
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: get a wired connection and it will work without issue
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: my wifi works ootb in Linux, not in Windows
[00:35] <fishcooker> in which /dev/X my bluetooth device should be mounted.. ive connected my bluetooth device
[00:35] <fishcooker> but i can't see it on $dmesg
[00:35] <pilotbub> I cant even trust the package manager to install the drivers
[00:35] <tired> does anybody know ninjam?
[00:35] <pilotbub> what is this anarchy
[00:35] <Timvde> OerHeks: Nope, running 12.04 and the minimum in the basic settings is still 32
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: get a wired connection, its a laptop so is easily movable, connect to your router using a patch cable and you will have an easy life
[00:35] <pilotbub> yeah but its a LAP TOP
[00:36] <tired> ninjam anybody?
[00:36] <pilotbub> a MOBILE COMPUTER IF YOU WILL
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: yes, I can also read lower case
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: once you get the driver installed it will be fine. Why can you not see where you are falling short, not the OS
[00:37] <wylde> pilotbub: and you are being told to connect to a wired connection long enough to fix your issue.
[00:37] <tired> does anybody know some audio software that runs vsti plugins?
[00:37] <L3top> I would like to complain even though there is an easy solution because things don't work like I expect, not knowing anything about the system.
[00:37] <L3top> If I were you pilotbub, I would ask Ubuntu for my money back.
[00:38] <OerHeks> pilotbub, how are you connected now? use that cable or if you are wireless now, use the unused utp port for ICS internet connection sharing.
[00:38] <wylde> lmao >.<
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> tired: lmms apparently: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=976079
[00:39] <no-name-> hi. I'm trying to access my ~ directory from a live cd but when I type ecryptfs-mount-private I get ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly
[00:39] <tired> thank you
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: ok lets swing it another way. You have a clean install of windows and there is no wireless functionality (wifi not working ootb) and you have no driver CD. What do you do?
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: you know the wired connectin works and the system is a laptop...
[00:41] <knytmare> NORTH KOREA---EPIC FAILURE

[00:43] <lvelinux> ubuntu server 8 does it  have issue with the scsi hard drives its a 4gb one
[00:44] <lotus-blade> driver issue?
[00:44] <no-name-> ahh, got around the "ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly" with chroot but now at "Enter your login passphrase:" my password doesn't work :/ is it asking for that or the long thing you get with the encrypted drive
[00:44] <lvelinux> i get an error that  it can read the cd
[00:45] <pilotbub> it still doesnt work unbelievable
[00:45] <triscuit> there's a way to have it show you the pass
[00:45] <lvelinux> is their a way i can install ubuntu server  from the internet ?
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: did you get fully updated?
[00:45] <pilotbub> nop
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> lvelinux: sure, use the minimal ISO
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: I suggest you do
[00:46] <no-name-> yeah, I recall having this problem before "ERROR: Your passphrase is incorrect" is what I get whether I enter my password or passphrase :(
[00:46] <lvelinux> i have  a ubuntu server 8.00 installing  cd what do i do
[00:46] <lvelinux> i boot off the cd then how can i get  it to ask me the method
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> lvelinux: grab the minimal ISO (12Mb) and use that to instal. It will use the repos to install from
[00:46] <pilotbub> wheres the update thing
[00:47] <lvelinux> ok thank you
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: you can use software centre. Or in CLI:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc   too please
[00:48] <pilotbub> precise
[00:48] <OerHeks> uh oh
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: ask in #ubuntu+1 then please, precise is not supoprted here til release day
[00:49] <pilotbub> ok hopefully this upgrade fixes it
[00:49] <pilotbub> software center says nothing about updates
[00:50] <francine> Anyone familiar with Xubuntu here ?
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: thats fine, but stil ask in #ubuntu+1 only. Precise is not released and not ready yet
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: after it is officially released it will be supported here
[00:51] <pilotbub> ok
[00:51] <airlynx> I installed UbuntuStudio to an external USB hard drive, but now I can't boot into it, can only boot into it using the emergency mode then selecting "Resume Normal Boot" at the menu
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: thanks :)
[00:54] <airlynx> also Grub won't load unless that external drive is plugged in
[00:57] <bobby> Hello
[00:57] <fishcooker> show desktop on ubuntu where
[00:58] <fishcooker> i need shortcut on ubuntu esp unity im on PP
[00:58] <escott> fishcooker, try ctrl-alt-d
[00:58] <bobby> lulz
[00:59] <finish06> airlynx, where is your boot folder @???  which drive?  it will be under /
[00:59] <fishcooker> not work escott
[00:59] <finish06> airlynx, /boot
[00:59] <bobby> cd \ then do a cd to home
[00:59] <bobby> then cd to your user
[00:59] <bazhang> !12.04 | fishcooker
[01:00] <airlynx> finish06, I have a boot folder on both drives, internal and external
[01:00] <bazhang> fishcooker, /join #ubuntu+1 for that
[01:00] <finish06> airlynx, within your bios, what drive is set at the boot drive?  maybe the external is set at boot drive, therefore that is the reason for needing it???
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> fishcooker: in precise if you hold down the SuperL key it will show a lot of shortcuts
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> fishcooker: ctrl+shift+d maybe
[01:01] <spdupee> how can i tell if ati drver is working properly?\
[01:01] <airlynx> finish06, in order to get grub to show up at all I have to select the internal drive from the BIOS, but all installations show up in grub, nothing happens (i.e. black screen) when I select the installation located on the external drive
[01:01] <Bndrr> !es
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> spdupee: sudo lshw -C display      should show drive=fglrx   or similar, meaning its loaded and in use. May help
[01:02] <finish06> airlynx, how is the external connected??
[01:02] <airlynx> finish06, USB 2.0
[01:02] <fishcooker> thanks fellas
[01:02] <wolfric> hey samba patch is out for ubuntu half an hour ago
[01:03] <finish06> thanks wolfbyte
[01:03] <finish06> thanks wolfric
[01:03] <sirknight> -*9+6
[01:03] <escott> airlynx, i think there are two different issues. one is !nomodeset. the other is the configuration of your boot disks and the bios boot order
[01:03] <wolfbyte> I get thanked a lot, wolfy nicks are very popular I guess
[01:04] <finish06> airlynx, idk if it is possible via your motherboard manufacturer to boot from a USB connected external drive...  have you done it in the past with like Windows?  or not?
[01:04] <doctrhu> can someone help me to get kismet running  i got it installed but i dont see a icon for it anywhere
[01:04] <airlynx> yes, I don't have a working CD-ROM, had to install the image on a different USB drive to boot the install process, lol
[01:05] <finish06> escott, why would booting from internal be ok, but only external be black screen if it is nomodeset?
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> doctrhu: http://www.twistedethics.com/2007/04/25/how-to-setup-kismet-in-ubuntu-704/   seems to be a terminal app
[01:05] <Bndrr> how can I select if i want kde or gnome at startup ??
[01:05] <luxgeek> Ok, I'm running mint 12 64bit, wine 1.4 and world of warcraft 4.3.3, wow is crashing just after entering world...here's the pastebing from a term: http://paste.ubuntu.com/927281/
[01:05] <airlynx> finish06, yes (forgot to address my reply)
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> bazhang: use the cog icon next to your username
[01:06] <bazhang> luxgeek, check mintsupport then
[01:06] <finish06> airlynx, i saw it, no big :)
[01:06] <bazhang> ActionParsnip, ok
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> luxgeek: mint isnt supported here
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> !mint | luxgeek
[01:06] <no-name-> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9681682 <-- I tried this and got "Error mounting eCryptfs: [-2] No such file or directory"
[01:06] <escott> finish06, did he say he had a successful boot of 11.10 on the internal? i thought he was saying he could only boot via the recovery option
[01:06] <luxgeek> Are you kidding me? It's based on ubuntu? (and I AM talking to them too)
[01:06] <no-name-> I cannot access my encrypted home directory from a live CD >:/
[01:07] <bazhang> luxgeek, no not kidding
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> luxgeek: NONE of the 'ubuntu based' spinoffs are supoprted here
[01:07] <finish06> escott, oo.... I thought he did, you are probably right!  you have helped me on many occasions haha!  i bow to your knowledge
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> luxgeek: ubuntu is based non Debian but if you ask for support in #debian you will be pointed here
[01:07] <airlynx> finish06, I did it more or less as an experiment, but if I don't have the USB drive plugged in when I boot up now grub crashes and gives me an error about no device or something
[01:07] <airlynx> finish06, but to load grub I have to boot from the internal drive
[01:08] <escott> finish06, i could have misread his comments.
[01:08] <finish06> airlynx, so you have to have the internal drive set as the boot drive, AND the external drive plugged in?  without both of those variables as mentioned, it fails, correct?
[01:09] <airlynx> finish06, correct
[01:09] <escott> airlynx, finish06 i doubt an mbr on an internal could access a grub.cfg on a usb device
[01:10] <mustu> Hi, I need to read about managing power & cpu utilization in Ubuntu. any good resource
[01:10] <mustu> ?
[01:10] <airlynx> escott, I'm pretty sure the grub.cfg is on the internal drive, if I try to select the external drive from the BIOS it gives me a black screen and never does anything
[01:10] <escott> no-name-, have you tried chrooting into the system. that might be easier
[01:11] <airlynx> finish06, escott, if I select the internal drive from BIOS it loads grub but when I select the external installation from grub it gives me a black screen as well
[01:11] <no-name-> escott: yep
[01:11] <mustu> I've a HP proBook 4530s Ci7 Quad Edition. I feel that Ubnutu does utilizes the CPU at it's maximum. It gets heatup quickly and consumes battery more. When I run Windows 7 I get more time from my battery and less heat issue.
[01:11] <doctrhu> can someone help me to get kismet running  i got it installed but i dont see a icon for it anywhere
[01:11] <escott> airlynx, what do you want your boot process to be. -- why are you messing around with this usb external drive
[01:11] <jenifferrr> hello how do I mount my windows disk? im in live cd
[01:12] <escott> doctrhu, open a terminal, type kismet[TAB]?
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> jenifferrr: its a windows partition
[01:12] <escott> mustu, powertop is a good utility to use, but it can also be a graphics card driver issue
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> jenifferrr: use nautilus
[01:13] <mustu> escott: yes I have ATI Radeon 1gb card... but I haven't installed the proprietery drivers for my vga ..as it doesn't work well
[01:14] <JermBob> hey im still having trouble getting the new hard disks i have installed in my machine to show or be usable can someone help me ?
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> JermBob: does it show in BIOS?
[01:14] <mustu> escott: in windows performance manager i haave noticed that only 4 cores do work and 4 cores are totaly sleep...  in ubuntu performance graph all 8 cores are active... i feel i need to turn some core off when not needed.. m searching how to do tht also
[01:15] <mustu> escott: powertop seems good. installing it
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> mustu: there is a boot option for max cores
[01:15] <JermBob> ActionParsnip: yup
[01:15] <vexaxv> hey guys i got a lock on my .deb files how do i remove them so i can uninstall em
[01:16] <escott> mustu, you can also play around with the cpu performance governor
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> mustu: boot option is:   maxcores=4
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> JermBob: ok then run gparted and partition it
[01:17] <JermBob> ActionParsnip: thanks no one would tell me the utility name other than fdisk
[01:18] <JermBob> ActionParsnip: its not installed and the discs are allready partitioned
[01:19] <JermBob> ActionParsnip: do i need to mount them or something ?
[01:19] <vexaxv> anybody know how to fix a locked deb file??
[01:19] <escott> !aptlock | vexaxv
[01:20] <vexaxv> aptlock?
[01:20] <vexaxv> how do i use aptlock
[01:20] <Aquaguy> Hey there, i currently have 2 apache servers installed on my machine, I'm trying to remove them but apt-get remove apache2 only removes one of 'em how can I remove the other one?
[01:20] <howard> can ubuntu be installed on the HTC Shift X9500 (UMPC)
[01:21] <mustu> ActionParsnip: but if i need some high performance would I be abel to turn the remaing four or would need to reboot?
[01:21] <nishttal2> hi i am running gnome3 on ubuntu 11.10
[01:22] <mustu> I just ran cpufreq-info and it says the same against all of my cores "no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU"
[01:22] <pilotbub> how is ubuntu x264 performance
[01:22] <nishttal2> and i keep getting alerts from empathy in my task bar even when i quit it
[01:23] <nishttal2> how can i fix this?
[01:23] <DropsOfSerenity> nishttal2, ctrl-q is quit, just closing it will keep it running
[01:24] <airlynx> escott, the external drive was just a test to see if I could do it and to see the latest Ubuntu, I'd rather not have to have the external plugged in to access grub though
[01:24] <FattyMcFat> c ya guys later good luck with that bootloader
[01:24] <snickers_> How do we kill tcp connections without closeing the applicaiton that is opening
[01:25] <nishttal2> DropsOfSerenity, no i quit from the menu
[01:25] <nishttal2> is there no way to remove the alerts
[01:27] <escott> nishttal2, why not go to the upper right where your name is and click off the notifications
[01:28] <nishttal2> escott, oh that would only disable empathy notifications?
[01:28] <escott> nishttal2, yes
[01:28] <nishttal2> escott, perfect.. thanks
[01:31] <Gracenotes> is there a way to set a keybinding to log off?
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> snickers_: good question
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> snickers_: could stop and start the networking service
[01:32] <Gracenotes> i.e. go back to window manager login screen
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> Gracenotes: could bind it to:   killall -u $USER
[01:33] <snickers_> i dont want to interupt other connections
[01:33] <snickers_> ActionParsnip,
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> snickers_: ah, not sure dude. I'd be interested in the solution though just for curiosity
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> snickers_:  tcpkill
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/kill-tcp-connections-537526/
[01:35] <airlynx> gonna go play around, wish me luck
[01:36] <scientes> how do i get copy-paste to work?
[01:36] <finish06> I wish grub was as pretty as chameleon was with osx86
[01:37] <pangolin> scientes, work in what sense? where?
[01:38] <agentsoul> 12.04 how to exclude some folder from the DASH search? p mode for 12.04
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> finish06: it can be pretty-ish. If you put an image in a certain folder, it will use it as the background image
[01:38] <Gaming4JC> Does anyone know a ProxyCap alternative for Ubuntu? I tried tsocks but it doesn't support UDP :/
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> agentsoul: ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:38] <scientes> pangolin, between apps, without first copy/paste inside the app
[01:38] <scientes> pangolin, like from firefox to xchat
[01:39] <pangolin> scientes, I am not sure what you mean by "without first copy/paste inside the app"
[01:39] <scientes> pangolin, it doesn't work if you just copy in firefox and then try to paste in xchat
[01:39] <scientes> you have to copy in firefox, and then paste in firefox, and THEN it will work in xchat
[01:39] <pangolin> scientes, strange, it is working fine here
[01:39] <scientes> i've seen this problem before
[01:41] <escott> scientes, you might want to install some kind of xclipboard manager (although usually that is done to syncronize the select and cut buffers it might have the side effect of doing what you want)
[01:42] <Jordan_U> finish06: http://apebox.org/wordpress/linux/261/
[01:42] <scientes> escott, yeah select/middle-click is also nice
[01:43] <y0om4> hi
[01:43] <frankaa112> plz guys wich of the channel to get some ccv
[01:43] <y0om4> how do i install the latest vlc rather than the one frozen at 11.10 release?
[01:43] <bilyan> exit
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> finish06: put the image in /boot/grub and run:  sudo update-grub
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | y0om4
[01:46] <monadist> when i try to run django... eg 'django-admin runserver' I get the error Error: Settings cannot be imported, because environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined.
[01:46] <monadist> how do i fix this?
[01:47] <pangolin> wild guess here but define DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE and also try asking in a django channel
[01:48] <mustu> Hi, I found the following two resources best for laptop heatup issue in Ubuntu http://cisight.com/install-amd-radeon-hd-6470m-and-solve-overheat-on-ubuntu-1110-oneiric/    &    http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Precise_Installation_Guide
[01:48] <mustu> following the first one which uses the second link in fact in the guide steps
[01:49] <pilotbub> STA driver recognized but still no wifi
[01:50] <pangolin> pilotbub, Please don't crosspost and if you are running 12.04 ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:50] <pilotbub> i downgraded
[01:50] <pilotbub> still no dice with wifi
[01:50] <pangolin> if you are not running 12.04 don't ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:51] <Gracenotes> ActionParsnip: did not know about custom commands. killall seems to make gdm not pop back (yet to add lightdm), but gnome-session-save looks promising
[01:51] <pilotbub> 2 different ones a ppc no hope for that but x86 is truly disappointing
[01:51] <Guzman> hello ubuntusaurios
[01:52] <Guzman> I have a question how to reset the menu bar where applications and acessories menu are
[01:52] <pangolin> Guzman, unity --reset
[01:54] <Guzman> is that command on my kernel
[01:55] <tapoutmma> I want to fix my partitions...  does gparted 'fix'/extend partitions properly?  I want to boot from livecd, and move my C:\ partition to the left and extend it.  I have :   <free> <system restore> <c:\>  .. I can't extend c:\ with the free because it's on the left.. if it were on the right, it would extend without issue... any ideas?
[01:59] <escott> tapoutmma, you should take a backup before you do anything but yes it should be able to move/resize as needed
[01:59] <no-name-> I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. I accidentally put sudo make install instead of sudo make altinstall when building python2.7.. now gnome is acting screwy... some programs don't start, panel applets crash... how do I fix it?
[01:59] <jenifferrr> where do I find my windows partition in the terminal?
[02:00] <deper29> jenifferrr, which drive is it on?
[02:00] <jenifferrr> c:
[02:00] <BarkingFish> jenifferrr, if it's mounted, it's normally under /media/windows
[02:00] <deper29> no, I mean, sdb1, sdb2,??
[02:00] <BarkingFish> or /mnt/windows depending on where ubuntu puts them
[02:01] <jenifferrr>  none
[02:01] <jenifferrr> deper29: dont know
[02:01] <jenifferrr> im new
[02:01] <pangolin> jenifferrr, paste the output of "sudo blkid" no quotes to paste.ubuntu.com please
[02:01] <pangolin> jenifferrr, then make sure to give us the url of the paste
[02:03] <pangolin> jenifferrr, actually you don't even need to paste it. look for TYPE="ntfs"  and that will be your windows partition, mine is /dev/sdb1
[02:04] <finish06> thanks ActionParsnip !!!!!
[02:04] <deper29> jenifferrr, here is how I would mount my windows drive: sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt
[02:05] <deper29> so do what pangolin says and then run that command and you should be able to access windows stuff
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> finish06: simple stuff dude
[02:08] <airlynx> I'm back, booted into both systems somewhat okay, booted to my internal drive now, gonna wipe the external drive and start over, but I need to remove the settings for the external drive from grub, but there's a catch.  Before I did this I had grub, now I think I have grub2, and the contents of the /boot directory on each the internal and external are completely different.  Where do I even start?
[02:08] <no-name-> I did a sudo make install of python2.7 when I should have done sudo make altinstall.. it's messed some things, up some programs won't start. how do I reverse it?
[02:11] <airlynx> I'm checking in Synaptic on both the external and internal system, external drive reported that I had grub2 installed, internal drive reports that I have grub installed.  But I select the internal drive at BIOS to load grub, and get a menu that looks like grub2, wtf is going on here?
[02:11] <Guzman> pangolin, how to use unity command is not available
[02:13] <escott> airlynx, there is a boot-info script which might be useful to you
[02:13] <jiffe2> anyone know how to troubleshoot printer printing blank pages ?  I have an HP laserjet 5m and I'm printing over the network, I can print to it fine from within windows
[02:13] <no-name-> anyone?
[02:13] <escott> airlynx, http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/
[02:15] <escott> no-name-, if you make uninstall you will likely hose your python 2.x install, but you could hope to recover it by reinstalling with apt
[02:16] <airlynx> perhaps I should just back up my files and do a complete reinstall, lol
[02:16] <no-name-> escott: what dir do I make uninstall from?
[02:17] <escott> no-name-, the same one you ran make install from. make sure you have an install cd in case you need to reinstall the os
[02:17] <no-name-> I do
[02:17] <no-name-> make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'.  Stop.
[02:17] <no-name-> yeah. I guess I'll just reinstall Ubuntu, hehe
[02:18] <airlynx> escott, thank you for the boot info script info, I'll let you know how it works out
[02:18] <no-name-> or maybe I should just build 2.6 from source?
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> jiffe2: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[02:19] <kevdog> aww shucks, same damn people here today as yesterday :)
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> kevdog: I'm sure there are subtle differences
[02:19] <jiffe2> AcidRain2012, oneiric
[02:19] <kevdog> ActionParsnip: hardly discernable
[02:20] <ActionParsnip> jiffe2: you could delete the printer then install the latest HPLIP frmo the HPLIP site, then re-add
[02:20] <ActionParsnip> kevdog: possibly
[02:20] <finish06> ActionParsnip, indeed!!  I got it!  thank you for the accurate link.  that is often the hardest part before doign something "off radar" to me, finding a link I trust!!!  I don't want to move files, etc when I not know what I am doiong.
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> finish06: you'll learn with time
[02:22] <wylde> keeping recent backups is good too!
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> oh definitely
[02:23] <kevdog> any reason rsync kind of craps out on me after transfer of between 2-4 gb worth of data?
[02:23] <kevdog> thats my problem with backups!
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> kevdog: what about a cp instead, is that ok?
[02:24] <wylde> I actually turned the machine I use for backups into an ltsp server and have all the homes on a cron with rsync to pull from each users /home. If a machine ends up with an unbootable HD it'll boot of the network. :)
[02:25] <kevdog> Haven't tried cp specifically however I guess I might off indirectly since Ive dragged and droppped in the gui over smb which does work -- which should imply its not a networking/network card issue
[02:25] <vexaxv> i got a .deb file with a little lock icon on it how do i uninstall debs like this it was creating using checkinstall
[02:26] <wylde> vexaxv: if you used sudo with checkinstall root owns the resulting package.
[02:26] <phix> vexaxv: you uninstall using the package management app
[02:26] <vexaxv> k
[02:26] <phix> vexaxv: like aptitude ot synaptic
[02:26] <wylde> vexaxv: what phix said, I misread the question.
[02:27] <vexaxv> k got it thanks guys
[02:27] <phix> unless you mean you want to delete the file
[02:27] <phix> awesome, glad i could help
[02:27] <Guzman> somebody please give me option to reset the menu bar of my ubuntu my dad came and remove all menus and messed stuff up I want default layout please
[02:27] <vexaxv> well i did uninstall but the .deb with the lock icon it created is still in my folder
[02:28] <airlynx> escott, here is the output of the boot info script: http://pastebin.com/nVcSVj7k but I don't really understand it
[02:28] <phix> Guzman: easiest way is to move or delete your .gconf and maybe .config and .local directories from home directory
[02:29] <wylde> vexaxv: you can just chmod the file, or sudo rm /path/to/filename. Just be careful when using sudo with rm. Typos can cause issues that way.
[02:29] <phix> and you should set your display to lock and require a password plus make your dad an account he can use and wreck :)
[02:29] <vexaxv> Checking for Boost iostreams library version >= 1.34.1... (cached) no
[02:30] <vexaxv> im trying to install wesnoth 10
[02:30] <vexaxv> but this version of boost iostream isnt in the repos
[02:30] <vexaxv> i got version 1.40 somethin
[02:30] <wylde> !info wesnoth
[02:30] <vexaxv> anybody play wesnoth and compile 10 on there own?
[02:31] <vexaxv> anyone?
[02:31] <wylde> vexaxv: not I. The only package I've built renetly is squashfs-tools so I could get it with xz compression. :)
[02:31] <vexaxv> lol
[02:31] <wylde> recently*
[02:32] <vexaxv> well the last requisite i need is boost iostream
[02:32] <vexaxv> i got 1.40 somethin downloaded but it needs 1.36
[02:32] <vexaxv> >.<
[02:32] <wylde> hmm
[02:32] <vexaxv> dunno why i cant just use 1.46
[02:32] <vexaxv> or whatever it is
[02:32] <vexaxv> yeah 1.46
[02:33] <vexaxv> You'll need to have these libraries and their development headers to build Wesnoth:
[02:33] <vexaxv>  boost_iostreams >= 1.36.0
[02:33] <vexaxv> crappppppppp >.>
[02:33] <trism> vexaxv: notice the >= part
[02:33] <wylde> vexaxv: I don't suppose the source package came from official repos. I don't think apt-get build-dep will work with 3rd party source. But I'm not sure
[02:34] <vexaxv> greater than or equals too
[02:34] <vexaxv> ive got 1.46
[02:34] <vexaxv> it did
[02:35] <escott> airlynx, i think i can see what went wrong
[02:35] <trism> vexaxv: sudo apt-get build-dep wesnoth
[02:35] <vexaxv> i got 1.42 boost-iostreams
[02:35] <vexaxv> wont work withought the right boost io file
[02:35] <pangolin> !enter | vexaxv
[02:35] <vexaxv> ah sorry
[02:35] <trism> vexaxv: I doubt you do, you need the -dev packages (it is built against 1.46 in precise)
[02:36] <vexaxv> -dev packages?
[02:36] <vexaxv> in the rep if u look up boost-iostreams theres only 1.4 +
[02:36] <trism> vexaxv: just type: sudo apt-get build-dep wesnoth-1.8;
[02:36] <vexaxv> not 1.36
[02:36] <vexaxv> lol i dont want 1.8
[02:36] <vexaxv> i want 1.10
[02:36] <escott> airlynx, it appears you had grub1 installed on sda with sda5 as the partition containing /boot. you think installed ubuntu to sdb, but installed grub to the mbr of sda, and it needs to load sdb1 as the partition containing /boot. thats likely not supported by the bios hence your non-bootable system.
[02:37] <trism> vexaxv: it will not install wesnoth-1.8, it will just install the libraries necessary to build
[02:37] <JulinBM>  /msg NickServ identify 34451584
[02:37] <vexaxv> ohh
[02:37] <escott> airlynx, to fix things up boot a livecd and chroot into the respective systems and grub-install to the respective devices, you might also want to update the sda system to using grub2 instead of using grub1
[02:37] <vexaxv> quick question why build "dep"
[02:37] <vexaxv> dependencies?
[02:37] <trism> vexaxv: yes
[02:37] <vexaxv> ah
[02:37] <vexaxv> k hang on
[02:38] <pangolin> JulinBM, change your nickserv password
[02:38] <airlynx> escott, okay but I did get it to boot from the external drive, right now I don't really care anymore I'd rather just remove any record of the external drive from grub
[02:38] <vexaxv> E: Unable to find a source package for wesnoth-1.8
[02:39] <trism> vexaxv: which version of ubuntu are you on
[02:39] <vexaxv> 11.10
[02:39] <JulinBM> ok
[02:39] <airlynx> escott, right now I cannot boot my computer without the external drive connected. If select the internal drive at the BIOS it will look for the external drive right away and then kicks me out to a grub rescue prompt with an error message that the external drive does not exist
[02:40] <phrakt> did anyone elses 12.04 change the close, minimize, and maximize buttons over to the other side?
[02:40] <JulinBM> pangolin, but i don't know
[02:40] <wylde> vexaxv: try without the trailing version numbers, it should look for the most recent anyway.
[02:40] <Guzman> my .config directory delete it all? which part of it should I delete? phix
[02:40] <trism> vexaxv: maybe you don't have the source repos enabled, check software-properties-gtk
[02:40] <vexaxv> hang on
[02:41] <escott> airlynx, so go ahead and boot the external drive, and then chroot yourself into the installed system. you can upgrade to grub2 in that system at that point if you wish, or just rerun grub-install /dev/sda
[02:41] <pangolin> JulinBM, /msg nickserv help set password
[02:41] <xangua> phrakt: for pangolin support /join #ubuntu+1
[02:41] <vexaxv> i didnt but i do now hang on ill retry
[02:41] <phrakt> thank you xangua
[02:41] <trism> vexaxv: you will need to sudo apt-get update; after changing it
[02:41] <vexaxv> k thanks
[02:41] <JulinBM> pangolin thanks
[02:41] <pangolin> JulinBM, welcome
[02:42] <JulinBM> thank you
[02:42] <airlynx> escott, just so I'm clear, I can run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" from the external drive to remove its record from grub?
[02:43] <JulinBM> pangolin, I always do I do these things in frenode?
[02:44] <vexaxv> its takin forever
[02:44] <vexaxv> dang
[02:44] <cchildress> hi everyone. i've got this weird problem i've not encountered, and as i'm returning to linux after a few years i'm not familiar with grub 2. i have three hard drives and one dvdr, all sata. i had windows 7 installed on /dev/sda. i installed ubuntu to /dev/sdb because the ubuntu installer wouldn't recognize /dev/sda (even though it installed grub there!) (cont)
[02:44] <pangolin> JulinBM, I did not understand your question
[02:44] <JulinBM> pangolin, quero dizer, antes de entrar no canal?
[02:44] <cchildress> so after installation, i can boot into ubuntu but windows isn't an option. however, now ubuntu detects both ntfs partitions on /dev/sda and will mount them, no problem. i want to add windows to the choice of bootable os. what's teh best way to do this?
[02:44] <JulinBM> pangolin, well, sorry...
[02:44] <escott> airlynx, from the external drive it adds its record to the mbr. from a chroot into the internal drive (with the external as the boot device) it installs the internal drives record to the mbr
[02:45] <pangolin> JulinBM, use the server window to send nickserv command
[02:45] <kevdog> Whats a good pdf joiner program to join a lot of pdfs?
[02:45] <pangolin> JulinBM, that way you will not send it to channel by accindent
[02:45] <JulinBM> pangolin, I always log into freenode, before entering the channel
[02:45] <trism> kevdog: pdftk works pretty well
[02:45] <airlynx> escott, so how is that different from running it right now while I'm booted to the internal drive?
[02:46] <JulinBM> pangolin, ok! is this
[02:46] <kevdog> pdftk -- Does this require kde libraries?
[02:46] <escott> airlynx, in other words. if you dont chroot you have the version of grub on the external (grub2) if you chroot you have grub1. if you don't chroot your /boot is sdb1 on the external and grub-install by default points to that, within the chroot it looks like sda5/boot is /boot and by default it points to that
[02:46] <JulinBM> pangolin, it was an accident
[02:46] <vexaxv> dang this is takin forever
[02:46] <trism> kevdog: it uses very few libraries, apt-cache depends pdftk
[02:46] <escott> airlynx, i thought you couldn't boot the internal at all
[02:47] <escott> airlynx, if you have booted the internal then just grub-install /dev/sda
[02:47] <Bndrr>  hi, how can I encrypt a file or a directory ?
[02:47] <pangolin> JulinBM, I know. but 1500 users in here saw your password. That is why I told you to change it.
[02:47] <airlynx> escott, I'm running on the internal right now, so okay, just did it
[02:47] <kevdog> trism: Installing it now
[02:48] <airlynx> escott, I'll be back in a few minutes, gonna go test it out
[02:48] <JulinBM> pangolin, ok,  I've changed
[02:48] <pangolin> :)
[02:48] <JulinBM> pangolin, I type in the server room I see only ok?
[02:49] <trism> kevdog: basic usage is just: pdftk pdf_1 pdf_2 ... pdf_n output combined.pdf
[02:49] <escott> Bndrr, gpg is great for single files and one-off encryption. ecryptfs for regularly used folders
[02:50] <JulinBM> pangolin, I'm new this universe
[02:50] <pangolin> !es | JulinBM
[02:50] <Bndrr> escott, others ?
[02:50] <pangolin> JulinBM, Welcome to our little universe :)
[02:51] <JulinBM> kk, ok. Sorry, but i'm speak portugues from Brasil
[02:52] <JulinBM> pangolin, kk, ok. Sorry, but i'm speak portugues from Brasil
[02:52] <pangolin> !br
[02:52] <escott> Bndrr, rot13?
[02:52] <JulinBM> pangolin, I know this, but was a error
[02:52] <pangolin> JulinBM, ok.
[02:52] <kevdog> pdftk -- looking like the bomb -- very full featured
[02:54] <Bndrr> thx.
[02:54] <vexaxv> heyw hat was the code for wesnoth 1.8 again
[02:54] <vexaxv> to get the dep files
[02:54] <JulinBM> pangolin, I entered the channel ubuntu-br, but now I try to help with bluetooth and still could not.
[02:54] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: sudo apt-get -f install
[02:54] <trism> vexaxv: apt-get build-dep wesnoth-1.8;
[02:54] <escott> Bndrr, the main programs are pretty much limited to three (although you may find guis for some of these) gpg, ecryptfs, mdcrypt (but thats for devices not files or folders)
[02:54] <gr8tripstr> can anyone help me install utorrent server?
[02:54] <trism> vexaxv: you can actually use any package and it will find the source package and get the build deps
[02:55] <gr8tripstr> can anyone help me install utorrent server?
[02:56] <gr8tripstr> anyone here help out noobs?
[02:56] <xangua> http://askubuntu.com/questions/104094/how-to-install-utorrent-step-by-step gr8tripstr
[02:56] <MrUnagi> How can I modprobe nbd at boot
[02:56] <gr8tripstr> thanks xangua! so i jus read...lol got it
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: run:  echo "nbd" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules > /dev/null
[02:57] <airlynx> escott, thank you very much, that worked, now theoretically if I wanted to turn that external drive into a LiveCD (which was what I was trying to do in the first place) what would I need to do?
[02:57] <MrUnagi> Or permanently
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: yes it will get loaded at boot
[02:58] <escott> airlynx, i think you just need to do a grub-install /dev/sdb once you have booted the external drive
[02:58] <escott> airlynx, but it still requires some bios support that not all bioses will have
[02:58] <airlynx> escott, maybe I should do some research before I try it again, lol, but thank you very much for your help
[02:59] <escott> airlynx, the bios on your system probably does (based on your ability to boot with grub on sda pointing to sdb
[03:00] <MrUnagi> ActionParsnip: Can /dev/nbd0p1 be auto mounted afterward?
[03:00] <airlynx> escott, my system does not have a working CD-ROM drive, I did all this with 2 USB hard drives (installed the Ubuntu install image on a second HDD) so I know my BIOS has full capability to do so
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: you could add the mount command in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line and mount it, it may work if you add it in fstab then simply add: mount -a    in rc.local
[03:01] <MrUnagi> Seems nbd didn't load
[03:02] <MrUnagi> ActionParsnip: I though about that but it requires sudo
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: or add the modprobe command in /etc/rc.local
[03:03] <MrUnagi> Will rc.local run as root
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: indeed
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: add commands above the exit 0 line or they won't run
[03:04] <vexaxv> well that fixed the issue however now it says i need boost library
[03:04] <MrUnagi> So modprobe nbd && mount /dev/nbd0p1 /media/foo?
[03:05] <trism> vexaxv: what does it say exactly?
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: sure :)
[03:07] <vexaxv> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=CEWXtRS7
[03:08] <MrUnagi> ActionParsnip: DIDN'T WORK :(
[03:08] <MrUnagi> sorry caps
[03:08] <trism> vexaxv: libboost-system1.46-dev
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: did you reboot?
[03:08] <MrUnagi> Yes
[03:08] <vexaxv> synpatic?
[03:08] <MrUnagi> Shutdown -r now
[03:08] <trism> vexaxv: if you prefer, or just: sudo apt-get install package;
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: very weird
[03:09] <trism> vexaxv: also very helpful when compiling: apt-cache search -n libsomething dev
[03:09] <vexaxv> now im missing boost thread library lol
[03:09] <vexaxv> ill download that too >.<
[03:10] <vexaxv> i thought i already downloaded all this..
[03:10] <trism> vexaxv: might want: libboost1.46-all-dev if you don't want to track them all down, they may be new deps for the 1.10 version
[03:10] <MrUnagi> Oh wait
[03:10] <MrUnagi> I forgot a command im sorry
[03:11] <hieunguyen> I backed up my harddisk by using CloneZilla. Now I want to read the image file created by CloneZilla to extract some files. I followed the instruction here: http://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/43_read_ntfsimg_content.faq#43_read_ntfsimg_content.faq . When I run the command "cat sda1.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.* | gzip -d -c | ntfsclone --restore-image -o sda1.img -" it said: ntfsclone v2011.4.12AR.4 (libntfs-3g)
[03:11] <hieunguyen> ERROR: Input file is not an image! (invalid magic)
[03:11] <hieunguyen> how do i fix it?
[03:11] <vexaxv> damn too many deps..
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> hieunguyen: i'd ask in a clonezilla channel
[03:12] <vexaxv> holy crap its building
[03:12] <vexaxv> lol
[03:12] <vexaxv> after 1000 deps
[03:12] <vexaxv> >.<
[03:13] <trism> vexaxv: success!
[03:13] <vexaxv> :) ty
[03:13] <hieunguyen> ActionParsnip: if you know the channel name, please point me to
[03:13] <hieunguyen> otherwise, i will google
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> hieunguyen: #clonezilla
[03:13] <vexaxv> when u build
[03:13] <vexaxv> u can use scons
[03:13] <vexaxv> so it says just type scons
[03:13] <vexaxv> its building
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> hieunguyen: didn't think to try the obvious first...?
[03:13] <vexaxv> is that gonna install it for me or what
[03:13] <hieunguyen> ActionParsnip: good advice
[03:14] <vexaxv> or just build itself into the folder
[03:14] <haux> Unrelated to Ubuntu, but does anyone know of a firefox plugin that will let you start a new download and merge with an existing partially downloaded file?
[03:14] <ActionParsnip> hieunguyen: ;)
[03:14] <trism> vexaxv: it will probably just compile it, there may be an install target, should check out the README
[03:14] <vexaxv> hm
[03:14] <vexaxv> if it does install can i delete the folder that i used to compile it with
[03:15] <vexaxv> the source code folder
[03:15] <gr8tripstr> is there any reason to use utorrent server? it appears theres a built in torrent downloader...
[03:15] <xangua> gr8tripstr: you are the one that asked for it, you tell us
[03:16] <wylde> gr8tripstr: if all you wanted was to download using torrents, the you most certainly didn't need the server.
[03:16] <donavan01> can someone tell me how to search for file from the command line or do I have to have nautilus to do that
[03:16] <gr8tripstr> haha, well i love it on windows...thought i needed it but then when i clicked on a torrent it didnt even load in the utorrent and just started downloading on its own
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> gr8tripstr: no idea, familiarity I guess
[03:17] <gr8tripstr> ya no need for utorrent til they get the gui finished
[03:17] <trism> vexaxv: yes, you can delete the source directory once you install it if you wish (often, if they use autotools they may have an uninstall target, so it may be good to keep those around for later)
[03:17] <escott> haux, very much server dependent. not all servers support http resume. firefox will resume when it can
[03:18] <MrUnagi> ActionParsnip: Rebooting again I bet it works this time
[03:18] <vexaxv> k brb hang on
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: here's hoping :D
[03:18] <MrUnagi> :)
[03:18] <engkur> i use transmission for torrent
[03:18] <MrUnagi> Setting up a "Dropbox" for my dad
[03:18] <MrUnagi> Learned today I despise ntfs
[03:18] <engkur> and aria2 for textmode torrent
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> engkur: if you leave the system on and enabled the web ui, you can remote manage torrents via web interface or even android phone / iphone etc
[03:19] <haux> escott, I understand that. However, if the session ends with the site, firefox will no longer let you resume a partially downloaded file, whether the server allows it or not. I used to use a windows program called GetRight back in dialup days. You could resume a download days after starting it.
[03:19] <MrUnagi> I think everything is working except the mount
[03:19] <scientes> haux, works for me
[03:19] <scientes> with ff 11
[03:19] <scientes> but yeah, i still end up using wget -c sometimes....
[03:20] <gr8tripstr> ya transmission all the way
[03:20] <scientes> gr8tripstr, thats only for torrents
[03:20] <scientes> but wget -c will always work....
[03:20] <haux> scientes, seriously? If you clear your download list and start a new download, ff 11 will ask you if you want to resume the partially downloaded file?
[03:20] <gr8tripstr> ya i figured that out after i spent an hour trying to install utorrent server ( which i did suceed) haha
[03:20] <scientes> MrUnagi, yeah ntfs sucks, but what specifically are your problems with it?
[03:21] <MrUnagi> scientes: Has problems with special characters
[03:21] <scientes> haux, oh no, then use wget, its cross platform, and will work with started downloads from any program
[03:21] <MrUnagi> But more maddening....Leno chmod, or chown
[03:21] <scientes> MrUnagi, actually no, it doesn't. NTFS works will all characters but / and NULL
[03:21] <MrUnagi> S/Leno/no
[03:22] <scientes> MrUnagi, its explorer that adds those limitations, but the filesystem is fine
[03:22] <gr8tripstr> so whats so cool about ubuntu...i jus find everything to be twice as hard...i guess i only know windows tho
[03:22] <escott> haux, you could try wget, but if its requiring some kind of login thats going to be tough
[03:22] <scientes> gr8tripstr, what do you need help with?
[03:22] <haux> scientes, the issue is, I mostly have a need for this on youtube. Using DownloadHelper to download youtube videos. There isn't really a direct link to the file that I can use with wget. At least not that I've been able to find
[03:22] <MrUnagi> Ok well I don't like it
[03:22] <napalm54> In ubuntu 12.04, I am trying to set an audio device to surround sound, but I do not see an option to.  Anyone know how to?
[03:22] <scientes> haux, ahh, well with youtube, you can just install htop, fine the PID of the flash process, and then copy out of /proc/$UID/fd/N
[03:23] <scientes> haux, it use to be in /tmp for easy copying, but that stopped quite a few flash version ago
[03:23] <gr8tripstr> scientes, i really don't know...jus new exploring this os...trying to find some reasons to stick with it and not go back to windows 8
[03:23] <mhaz> haux-xvideoservicethief
[03:24] <scientes> gr8tripstr, its a way better OS, there are tons of things that windows people think they are "haxors" for using in windows, that are just standard in linux, like mounting CD's for example, that is one line in linux, and part of the core os
[03:24] <teligard> Hi all.  Could someone help me get my audio working in Ubuntu 11.10?
[03:24] <haux> scientes, the DownloadHelper addon lets you download youtube videos. That's not the problem. I was just looking to see if there was an addon for a different download manager that had better support for pausing/resuming downloads.
[03:24] <scientes> gr8tripstr, and the whole OS upgrades as one piece, which works much better and is far less annoying
[03:24] <scientes> haux, yeah but downloadhelper requires you to download the video twice
[03:25] <haux> scientes, I don't think so? You don't have to load the video to download it.
[03:25] <scientes> haux, you could use youtube-dl alternatively, but b/c the double-download it is not good for my purpose-----apt-get install youtube-dl
[03:25] <haux> I use it every day.
[03:25] <scientes> haux, yeah, it downloads it twice
[03:25] <gr8tripstr> gotcha, ya i did upgrade the os and it was super smooth
[03:25] <scientes> the only way to not download twice is to take it from the flash process haux
[03:25] <MrUnagi> ActionParsnip: /etc/fstab just needs /dev/nbd0p2 /media/foo?
[03:25] <napalm54> gr8tripstr: I am an avid Windows user (for games), but I also love Ubuntu and Linux in general. Can take some time to get use to though
[03:25] <mhaz> haux-http://xviservicethief.sourceforge.net/
[03:25] <mhaz> pay attention
[03:26] <haux> Well, for me it doesn't. I've downloading 4 videos right now, once. I don't need to let the video load to do this. I open the page, start the download, close the page.
[03:26] <scientes> gr8tripstr, there are bazillions more reason, like that old hardware never goes "unsupported" where you are stuck to an old windows cause the manufacture wants you to buy new stuff, for example
[03:26] <haux> mhaz, I'm checking that out
[03:26] <napalm54> Anyone know how to set an audio device to surround sound in Ubuntu 12.04, was easy to in 11.10, but cant find the option now.
[03:26] <scientes> gr8tripstr, read this: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
[03:26] <gr8tripstr> so whats the deal with asking for my password constantly...
[03:26] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: it needs file system type too, the other lines will five clues
[03:26] <gr8tripstr> thanks guys i love the feedback
[03:26] <napalm54> gr8tripstr: Protection, you can turn that off, but that isn't a good idea
[03:26] <scientes> ^^
[03:27] <MrUnagi> Is nbd the fs type?
[03:27] <napalm54> gr8tripstr: Kind of like UAC in Windows vista/7
[03:27] <gr8tripstr> k ya thats what i've read
[03:27] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: its will be vfat, ntfs, ext4 etc etc
[03:27] <scientes> napalm54, except it actually works
[03:27] <gr8tripstr> ya i always disable that uac hah
[03:27] <napalm54> scientes: I was not sure UAC did not work
[03:27] <scientes> gr8tripstr, UAC is fundamentally broken www.pretentiousname.com/misc/win7_uac_whitelist2.html napalm54
[03:28] <scientes> CALCULATOR runs elevated in windows
[03:28] <napalm54> Needs more processing time
[03:28] <napalm54> lol
[03:29] <gr8tripstr> so is google chrome not the most awesome browser ever?
[03:29] <napalm54> I have had to turn UAC off, some programs had issues installing with it.  But UAC isnt needed if you are smart and/or have good internet security (Kaspersky :) )
[03:29] <teligard> UAC is funny.  It bludgeons you with requests and warnings, and dulls your senses until you hit that do it key one the 210th time (when you shouldn't have), then the general copout is "weren't you warned"?
[03:29] <napalm54> Chrome is awesome :)
[03:29] <MrUnagi> Is scientes  the windows defender (pun)
[03:29] <napalm54> I am pretty much using everything Google right now, except Chrome OS
[03:30] <napalm54> Windows Firewall
[03:30] <gr8tripstr> chrome os?
[03:30] <teligard> Any ideas on how to get my audio working?
[03:30] <napalm54> Another OS from Google, based on linux, supposed to be very light weight
[03:30] <napalm54> teligard
[03:30] <teligard> It's a hit or miss proposition for me so far
[03:30] <napalm54> what Version of ubuntu?
[03:30] <teligard> 11.10
[03:30] <gr8tripstr> nice, how can u go wrong...
[03:31] <scientes> gr8tripstr, google chrome is proprietary software that neglects your privacy
[03:31] <napalm54> I believe you can search sound in unity, bring up the sound options and select the audio device you want
[03:31] <napalm54> scientes: How so?
[03:31] <scientes> gr8tripstr, chromium IS available in ubuntu, but google doesn't make it easy to package
[03:31] <MrUnagi> I lost contact with my server :(
[03:31] <MrUnagi> Fun!
[03:31] <napalm54> scientes: Chromium is in the ubuntu software center right?
[03:32] <scientes> napalm54, it keeps a uniquie ID from downloading, that it sends with every google request, and tries to get you to link the browser with a google account (BTW you can only get google accounts with a mobile phone these days)
[03:32] <MrUnagi> Uh....I think I really messed something up
[03:33] <MrUnagi> Network is up but I cant reach my ubuntu box
[03:33] <scientes> napalm54, http://spot.livejournal.com/312320.html
[03:33] <napalm54> scientes: I am already linked lol
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: can you ping 8.8.8.8?
[03:33] <teligard> napalm54: I'm going to reboot and see if anything changes.  I am not running unity
[03:33] <ominomi> :)
[03:33] <haux> mhaz, from the looks of it, that may be even more than I was hoping for. I'm trying to install it now, but I'm getting a Not Found error in the software center
[03:33] <MrUnagi> I don't know why my fstab entry would make it unreadable
[03:34] <step_init> *UNITY*
[03:34] <MrUnagi> Unreahable
[03:35] <MrUnagi> Blah I hate it when I lose ash
[03:35] <MrUnagi> Ssh
[03:36] <MrUnagi> Oh well good night
[03:37] <mhaz> haux- download the .deb from the site
[03:37] <mhaz> haux- gdebi will install it
[03:38] <austin182> The Linux Community is amazing!
[03:38] <jenifferrr> hello
[03:38] <vexaxv> whats the difference between wesnoth and wesnothd
[03:38] <jenifferrr> how do I see my windows partition files?
[03:38] <jenifferrr> I want to move them to other partition
[03:39] <jenifferrr> please I am new in linux
[03:39] <jenifferrr> im in a live cd
[03:39] <wylde> vexaxv: wesnoth = client and wesnothd = server. Or so I'd suspect.
[03:40] <vexaxv> yay finally got wesnoth 10 compiled
[03:40] <vexaxv> is there anyway i can take a source compiled game and put the shortcut in the unity bar?
[03:42] <jenifferrr> please anyone
[03:42] <cperales> napalm54: yes
[03:42] <wylde> !ntfs | jenifferrr
[03:42] <napalm54> cperales: ?
[03:43] <cperales> napalm54: sorry i just read your question about chromium
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: sure, just make a .desktop file for it in /usr/share/applications
[03:43] <Superbest> Hi, I'm using the xubuntu 11.10 alternate install cd for i386 from a usb drive and my install is failing on the "select and install software" step
[03:43] <napalm54> cperales: Oh ok lol
[03:44] <jDog> is ubuntu good for serving a php/mysql stack?
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: I suggest you use checkinstall to make a deb of your efforts for easy installation if you need it again :)
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> !lamp | jDog
[03:44] <vexaxv> i sconned it
[03:44] <vexaxv> its wesnoth 10
[03:44] <vexaxv> but yes i love the check install ty :)
[03:45] <vexaxv> so how do i do the desktop thing
[03:45] <jDog> hmm
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: look at the files in the applications folder, you'll see what's going on :)
[03:46] <wylde> vexaxv: you can even get your very own ppa on launchpad to keep it backed up :) and even have launchpad do builds for other arch's
[03:46] <vexaxv> i gotta be honest
[03:46] <vexaxv> u guys have frickin lost me
[03:46] <vexaxv> lol
[03:46] <vexaxv> im still sorta new
[03:46] <FloodBot1> vexaxv: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:47] <vexaxv> how do i place a shortcut on th eunity bar
[03:47] <vexaxv> the*
[03:48] <gr8tripstr> ya thats a great link about the uac crap...microsoft are definitely some bastards
[03:49] <austin182> Can I dual Boot Windows XP pro and Ubuntu?
[03:49] <wuero> buenas colegas necesito un favor ayuda urguente para configurar tor
[03:49] <jDog> maybe
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: open the /usr/share/applications folder and you will see all the launchers Unity uses. If you copy one and edit it so it runs your command it can be yused
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> austin182: sure
[03:49] <wylde> austin182: yes
[03:50] <vexaxv> ah thanks
[03:50] <vexaxv> :)
[03:50] <wuero> ya cheke todos los tutoriales que hay en la red
[03:50] <wylde> !es | wuero
[03:50] <austin182> sweet thanks guys! linux people are so nice
[03:51] <vexaxv> says i dont have permission
[03:51] <vexaxv> how do i sudo move a file to somewhere else
[03:51] <wylde> vexaxv: sudo mv /path/to/file /path/to/destination
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> austin182: install windows first, leave free space if you are clean installing, or the Ubuntu installer can resize the current NTFS
[03:51] <gr8tripstr> I think im gonna burn all my windows discs...i heard they scream "don't use linux" before they turn to ashes...
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: run:  gksudo nautilus /usr/share/applications
[03:53] <austin182> Okay I will do that sorta makes sense I am new to this computer stuff
[03:54] <vexaxv> k i put the wesnoth file in applications
[03:54] <vexaxv> but when i click the dash i cant find wesnoth
[03:54] <vexaxv> :(
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: its not the file, you need to make a NEW desktop file to run your command
[03:55] <vexaxv> do i have to restart unity
[03:55] <vexaxv> huh?
[03:55] <vexaxv> how do i do that
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: I never said to copy the file.
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: copy one of the existing files in that folder and make a copy, then open the copy in gedit and change it
[03:56] <vexaxv> oo
[03:56] <vexaxv> smart dude over here
[03:56] <vexaxv> lol
[03:56] <vexaxv> whats the terminal command for copy n paste
[03:58] <wylde> vexaxv: cp /path/to/file /path/to/destination
[03:58] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: if you copy one that's already a game, it will appear in the games section
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: you will need sudo as the folder is owned by root
[03:59] <austin182> Ubuntu boots up into recovery mood every time...how do I make Ubuntu boot straight to my desktop?
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: you can do the copy and edit in the nautilus you ran earlier too, probably easier
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> austin182: hold shift at boot and select the none recovery mode
[04:00] <vexaxv> dang wont let me copy n paste
[04:00] <wylde> vexaxv: but it's good to get familiar with command line too :)
[04:00] <austin182> Thanks again!
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: do you have gnomine installed?
[04:00] <vexaxv> yes
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: is there a file in /usr/share/applications to run gnomine?
[04:01] <vexaxv> yep
[04:01] <paulus68> If I want to setup a pxe server can I do this on an existing one that I use as fileserver at the moment or is it better to start from scratch on a seperate machine?
[04:01] <PartFormat> I have two partitions on a single external hdd. I need to partition and format it so that it is a single blank drive. How do I do this?
[04:01] <vexaxv> well shit
[04:01] <vexaxv> there was in the command line
[04:01] <vexaxv> not in the gui
[04:01] <FloodBot1> vexaxv: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: what icons do you have in there for games>?
[04:03] <vexaxv> mahjongg
[04:03] <vexaxv> theres one
[04:03] <gr8tripstr> why isn't my launcher autohiding?
[04:04] <PartFormat> How do I format a hdd using command line?
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: is the filename 'mahjong'?
[04:04] <totesmuhgoats> PartFormat: what filesystem?
[04:04] <totesmuhgoats> PartFormat: man mkfs
[04:05] <vexaxv> yep
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> PartFormat: use mkfs.<file system type wanted>    e.g. mkfs.ext2
[04:05] <PartFormat> NTFS I guess? How can I tell what it is currently? It has two partitions
[04:05] <totesmuhgoats> PartFormat: you can't format to ntfs from linux
[04:05] <totesmuhgoats> and if you could you wouldn't want to
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: ok then run:  sudo cp /usr/share/applications/mahjong.desktop /usr/share/applications/wesnoth.desktop
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> totesmuhgoats: you can with ntfsprogs
[04:06] <totesmuhgoats> ActionParsnip: hmm, i was unaware. well you still probably wouldn't want to
[04:06] <PartFormat> I just need to format it to anything at all tht windows can see (It is currently partitioned and one of the partitions is not a format Windows even sees, so I cannot format it from windows).
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> totesmuhgoats: http://paste.ubuntu.com/927391/
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> totesmuhgoats: I wouldn't either, I'd use an MS OS to format it so I know it's good
[04:07] <vexaxv> k i got it
[04:07] <vexaxv> now how do i edit it to open wesnoth in my  home folder
[04:07] <totesmuhgoats> PartFormat: i think the link ActionParsnip sent is intended for you
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: ok now run: gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/wesnoth.desktop    and change it all :)
[04:07] <totesmuhgoats> but ntfs has issues even being read in linux, so i would just boot into windows to format it
[04:07] <totesmuhgoats> or connect the drive to a windows pc
[04:08] <totesmuhgoats> might even be able to do it with iscsi, not too familiar with iscsi to be honest
[04:08] <vexaxv> k how do i edit this lol
[04:08] <vexaxv> ah wait i got it sorry
[04:08] <vexaxv> k whats gksudo do
[04:08] <PartFormat> It is a 2tb external hdd.. I canot see 500gb of it in windows, so I cannot even format that part from windows (at least not to my knowledge).
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: runs graphical apps as root
[04:08] <vexaxv> k hang on :)
[04:09] <vexaxv> thanks for all your help today by the way lol
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: np man, its simple stuff once you do it once or twice
[04:09] <chocolates> SELLING PARA DEF RING
[04:09] <totesmuhgoats> is 12.4 shipping with wayland instead of x.org/
[04:10] <xangua> totesmuhgoats: #ubuntu+1 for pangolin
[04:10] <vexaxv> ah alright i got it all done thanks alot :)
[04:10] <PartFormat> What is a termanal command to list all hdds currently mounted?
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> PartFormat: mount
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> PartFormat: you mount partitions too, not drives
[04:11] <totesmuhgoats> ubuntu ran out of adjectives i'm familiar with in 11.10 it seems
[04:12] <jDog> anyone got a list of essential unix shell commands
[04:12] <jDog> ubuntu even
[04:12] <xangua> !terminal | jDog
[04:12] <vexaxv> okay so when u copied and pasted
[04:12] <vexaxv> what was that code again
[04:12] <vexaxv> that made another mahjong pop up again
[04:13] <zerocrisis> * would like to get streets&trips working in wine.
[04:14] <ElFilosofo21> Saludos
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: the sudo cp command you ran, you will need to grab an icon file of your liking and set that in the Icon=   line in the file
[04:15] <vexaxv> oh i did
[04:15] <PartFormat> Ok so using 'mount' I discovered /sdc1 and /sdc5 are the two partitions on the external that I need to format back into a single drive that windows can read. How do I format them both to a single partition/drive? like fat32?
[04:15] <vexaxv> im just wondering what was that command incase i need to place another shortcut on unity
[04:15] <ian_mac> is it normal for Precise to idle a lot higher than Oneiric?
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: and change the Exec= line    the rest is purely cosmetic but is good to just get done :)
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> ian_mac: ask in #ubuntu+1
[04:15] <vexaxv> :)
[04:15] <ian_mac> oh sorry
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> ian_mac: np :)
[04:16] <vexaxv> it was sudo cp /usr/share/applications/majongg /usr/share/applications/wesnoth
[04:16] <vexaxv> right?
[04:16] <vexaxv> no no it was sudo cp /usr/share/applications/majongg /usr/share/applications/majongg
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: you need the .desktop extension
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: your second command won't work as source == dest
[04:17] <vexaxv> i thought so
[04:17] <vexaxv> but i had two majonggs
[04:17] <vexaxv> not one majongg and one wesnoth
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: yes but you editted the wesnoth one, right?
[04:18] <vexaxv> yes
[04:18] <vexaxv> i got it workin
[04:18] <vexaxv> i checked it
[04:18] <PartFormat> Is it possible to format a partiton to fat32 using a linux terminal?
[04:18] <vexaxv> but u copied majongg
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: so press F5 in nautilus and the icon should change
[04:18] <vexaxv> i dont think u understand me lol
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: yes copied mahjong so it appears in the games folder
[04:18] <vexaxv> explain the code u wrote
[04:19] <vexaxv> sudo cp /usr/share/applications/majongg /usr/share/applications/wesnoth
[04:19] <vexaxv> thats the code right
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: it just duplicates the desktop file that runs mahjong so you can edit it to make it run your wesnoth command. We copied the mahjong file so that it appears in the games section of dash
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: yno, it: sudo cp /usr/share/applications/majongg.desktop /usr/share/applications/wesnoth.desktop
[04:20] <ElFilosofo21> Saludos,
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> wesley: you missed the fiel extension
[04:20] <vexaxv> but that copys majongg to wesnoth
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: you missed the file extension. the file /usr/share/applications/majongg doesn't exist
[04:20] <vexaxv> i had two majonggs
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: yes you said, several times now
[04:21] <legasp> misssssing file extensssionss?
[04:21] <vexaxv> i must be havin a slow night or somethin..so u copied and pasted it but instead of getting a wesnoth.desktop i got another majongg, whys that
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: you edit the wesnoth one so that it executes your wesnoth binary, you ALSO edit the icon line to a file of your choosing so it looks different
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: its just got the same details inside it, as we only copied it, so it will look exactly the same
[04:21] <vexaxv> i got all that lol
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: you now need to edit it
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: so where is the issue?
[04:22] <paulus68> If I want to setup a pxe server can I do this on an existing one that I use as fileserver at the moment or is it better to start from scratch on a seperate machine?
[04:22] <vexaxv> i know, im just wondering why did u copy majongg to wesnoth
[04:22] <vexaxv> i got two majonggs
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: you don't. One runs wesnoth and the othjer runs mahjong as you editted the file
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: it only LOOKS like you do as you didn't change the icon file
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: well, line
[04:23] <sachin_> Hi
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: I suggest you download an icon you like from the web and put it in your file system some place out of the way, you can then change the Icon= line in wesnoth.desktop to point to it, and it will be used
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: the file will then change appearence and be what you want. It will also appear in dash and you can even drag it to the Unity bar if you wish
[04:25] <tewecske> I use 11.04 and yesterday i upgraded my system and now if i start ubuntu the whole UI is freezed, the terminal on tty1 works fine and i can boot with failsafeX, i had a few segfaults with nvidia http://pastebin.com/EVUMKmaL but i downgraded to an old nvidia driver and the UI is even worse but no segfault at this boot, any idea where to look for the cause of the problem?
[04:25] <vexaxv> hm..
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> tewecske: what if you remove the nvidia driver altogether and boot using the open source driver
[04:27] <tewecske> i'm gonna try that now, just removed it but maybe someone have a better idea :)
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> tewecske: did you upgrade the packages nly and stil stay in Natty?
[04:28] <tewecske> yes I'm still on Natty
[04:28] <zerocrisis> * had a very similar problem,. thought it was video,.. chased it for days,.. and found out it was, of all things,.. a wireless keyboard issue.
[04:28] <tewecske> kernel and nvidia upgrades were there too
[04:28] <chown_> guys im trying to make a shell script here and it has 2 statements that requires a password, the thing is: when i 1st execute, it ask me for the 1st password, so i answer it and it execute that statement, the problem is that the 2nd statement isnt executed
[04:29] <wylde> chown_: I bet you'd get some good answers for that in #bash :)
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> chown_: can ou pastebin the script please
[04:29] <tewecske> zerocrisis: i have a wireless keyboard, but i hope it's not the case (i like my keyboard :))
[04:30] <tewecske> i'm trying to reboot without nvidia drivers now...
[04:30] <chown_> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/kL7mHsvD
[04:31] <busybyeski> hey guys! i'm currently running on a live usb.. is there any way i can access the other files on the same usb? can't find it in the filesystem
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> chown_: that won't work
[04:32] <chown_> ActionParsnip: oh, really?
[04:32] <paulus68> chown_: I think you have to name your ethernet card eth0 if I am not mistaken
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> chown_: you'll need:     su admin
[04:32] <ActionParsnip>     sudo ifconfig en1 ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> ooops
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> sec
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> i'll pastebin

[04:33] <GuestFor> Is exFAT better than NTFS for Ubuntu (I am formating an external HDD and heard NTFS has some problems with linux)?
[04:33] <chown_> Those commands is working fine when entered by me
[04:34] <Random832> does ubuntu even support exfat
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> chown_: http://pastie.org/3778410
[04:34] <Random832> GuestFor: do you need to share it beteen indows and linux
[04:34] <GuestFor> Ideally yeah
[04:35] <GuestFor> Random832: Does that mean NTFS is best?
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> GuestFor: NTFS will work fine in both, just remember to safe remove the device when you are done in ANY OS and you will have fewer issues
[04:36] <busybyeski> anyone know how i can get see the usb drive i booted off of?
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> busybyeski: sudo parted -l    will show the UI
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> UUID
[04:38] <GuestFor> So the next step is installing Ubuntu on my SSD. Should I make a partition (while in windows) for it? Or just start the Ubuntu (12.04) install (from cd) and try to get it to share a location on the C drive with win7?
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> GuestFor: the installer can make partitions
[04:39] <haux> How do you remove "gmusicbrowser" from the sound menu?
[04:39] <haux> I did this before but I forgot how...
[04:40] <tewecske> rebooted without nvidia, first it hanged then i restored default settings in failsafex and now it works
[04:40] <busybyeski> ActionParsnip: you mean like /dev/sdb? can i view that in the file browser or terminal?
[04:41] <tewecske> but it's not as good as it was before, so how can I found out why the UI freezes with nvidia driver?
[04:41] <ActionParsnip> busybyeski: technically both
[04:42] <busybyeski> ActionParsnip: how can i browse there in the gui :$
[04:43] <zerocrisis> tewecske: i had lots of driver issues with one of my comps running a cheaper $40.00 nvidia card. bought a twin-frozer III to replace it, and problems went away. was told that cheaper cards, even tho same chipset. don't always have full chipset support.
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> busybyeski: nautilus
[04:44] <busybyeski> ActionParsnip: i'm using nautilus, but even "go to location" doesn't allow for /dev/sdb/ input
[04:44] <tewecske> zerocrisis: but it worked for about 4 years and the problem occurd first after yesterday's upgrade
[04:45] <tewecske> it's a 8800 GTS
[04:47] <ezoe> hmm
[04:47] <gr33n7007h> busybyeski, is it mounted
[04:47] <busybyeski> gr33n7007h: i don't believe so. it isn't found in /mnt/
[04:47] <ezoe> there are OpenGL related updates available now.
[04:47] <gr33n7007h> mount it first then
[04:48] <ezoe> maybe this cause the problem... I wonder if it's wise to install it since I'm using GeForce GTX560Ti too.
[04:49] <busybyeski> gr33n7007h: how can i mount it without just replugging it?
[04:49] <chown_> ActionParsnip: man, u were a lifesaver, i had to change your script a littlebit because of my su was a little different, but it worked like a charm
[04:50] <gr33n7007h> busybyeski, mkdir /mnt/sdb then mount /dev/sdb /mnt/sdb
[04:50] <busybyeski> ahhhhh gr33n7007h i tried it and i found that it has "already been mounted to /cdrom/". didn't think to look there. -.- ahah thanks
[04:50] <chown_> ActionParsnip: thank you so much, i`ll use that in a lot of little scripts i have
[04:50] <gr33n7007h> oh ok
[04:50] <gr33n7007h> busybyeski, to see thing mount just type mount
[04:50] <gr33n7007h> *mounted
[04:51] <fellayaboy> lusers
[04:54] <tewecske> I try with the latest nvidia drivers (295.40)
[04:55] <danielbrown> Do any of you know if it is possible to dual boot Ubuntu and Mac OS X on an iMac? I don't know if it's EFI compatible.
[04:55] <tewecske> can't install nvidia driver while running X? WTF? :)
[04:56] <gr33n7007h> tewecske, ctrl + alt + f1 then ./nvidia-driver

[04:59] <ActionParsnip> tewecske: fyi, in a CTRL+ALT+F1 terminal, the X server is still running
[05:00] <ActionParsnip> xangua: the less fresh lot is, the main edgers ppa is not very stable at all

[05:55] <BootGuy> I just installed Ubuntu (12.04) on a partition of my main drive. However when restartined I didn't run into the linux boot laoder (Grup? Or named something like that). How can I get it to reach the boot loader when first booting up?
[05:56] <Starminn> I have multiple GPG keys on my system. I am currently signing the Ubuntu Code of Conduct (or trying to), but it is using the default key, which is not the one I want it to use. How can I specify which key to use?
[05:57] <iqueeR3C> .user FloodBot1
[05:57] <BootGuy> The win7 has a small partition (system) that I think might have its own boot loader on it? I am not sure how te computer decides where to look for a boot loader when first starting.
[05:57] <Starminn> I tried changing the default key >>gpg --default-key [name]<< but I'm not sure what [name] is asking for.
[06:01] <vexaxv> for ubuntu 11.10 should i install gtk 3 or 2 themes
[06:01] <subdesign> vexaxv, i made some background for ubuntu : www.devartpro.com/en/downloads

[06:19] <Elmseeker> Anyone around good with networking?
[06:19] <Elmseeker> I seem to have a problem on my ubuntu network, 90% packet loss on wired and wirless, same machine when booted into windows 7 has 0% packet loss. Any ideas?
[06:23] <bobo37773> Elmseeker: Did you look at dmesg? Any clues? What wireless card do you have? Do you use something other then your router for dns? Is ipv6 enabled? What are you using to manage your network (networkmanager, wicd, wpa_supplicant)?
[06:24] <GirlyGirl> bobo37773: He left
[06:24] <deper29> I like when people do that
[06:24] <bobo37773> GirlyGirl: Oh. Okay. Problem solved. Next. hahaha
[06:24] <deper29> lol
[06:25] <GirlyGirl> deper29: bobo37773 Actually he went and asked the same in #ubuntu+1 . He is still there
[06:26] <bobo37773> GirlyGirl: Sounds like a lot of work. Maybe he/she will come back.
[06:26] <bobo37773> GirlyGirl: +1 is for beta right?
[06:27] <Wildbat> ubuntu 10.04; i don't seems to able install sun java 6 jdk ~ i have already added partner repo. any help ?

[06:27] <deper29> hold on a second
[06:27] <GirlyGirl> bobo37773: precise yes
[06:28] <bobo37773> GirlyGirl: Ah I see. Hmm. Maybe I will go take a peak.
[06:29] <deper29> Wildbat, I believe this is what I did http://askubuntu.com/questions/67909/how-do-i-install-oracles-jdk-6
[06:30] <Wildbat> deper29, thanks i will take a look at it now
[06:30] <deper29> Wildbat, let me know if that works for you.
[06:31] <BootGuy> I installed Ubuntu but the win7 boot still occurs. What am I doing wrong? How do I automaticly reach grub when I boot?
[06:32] <HFW_Two> Where am I ?
[06:33] <Wildbat> deper29, oh it moved to oracle now , i see ~ i think that will work ~ just can't apt-get anymore :< thanks ~
[06:33] <bobo37773> HFW_Two: Ubuntu Gnu / Linux chat room.
[06:34] <deper29> Wildbat, never did get an apt-get working for it
[06:36] <Wildbat> deper29, is okay ~ just no more auto update XD
[06:36] <deper29> Wildbat, yeah, I never did get that working. if you come across something, do let me know :P
[06:37] <Wildbat> deper29, sure ~
[06:43] <RuJN> Hi, I have a problem reading a Cd - just doesn't see it! Maybe it is made for Windows but it should see it
[06:44] <RuJN> no problwems with reading audio CDs
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: CDs use standards for data
[06:44] <julre> can someone tell me how i can change the clk and voltage of my radeon manually?
[06:45] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: how to see the standart?
[06:45] <RuJN> *standard
[06:45] <RuJN> It should be a simple video or two on a CD
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: is it a data cd?
[06:46] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: It should be a simple video or two on a CD
[06:46] <RuJN> a data one, I suppose
[06:46] <Newbuntu2> hello!
[06:47] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: it cannot be played on a DVD player (not a very new one
[06:47] <Newbuntu2> i'm trying to connect to my NAS directly via wired connection, while I remain connected to the internet via wireless. How can i set it up? Do I need to run a dhcp server on eth0?
[06:47] <devilirium> RuJN: Test your software and hardware.
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: try: sudo mkdir /media/cdrom0; sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0
[06:47] <Triups> Help: I installed ubuntu.  I log in with gui...all I see is cusor and wallpaper.  (12.04   I think this machine did the same thing with 10.10 a long time ago)
[06:48] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: tanks, i'll try just now
[06:48] <Chris52> Hello I would like to asks some helo with my ubuntu 11.10 installation. When the system boots up it simply shows the boot terminal (where it says starting services and all short of things) and stucks there.
[06:48] <mi3> is there any hardware channel on freenode?
[06:48] <mi3> computer hardware.....
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> Newbuntu2: you can add a route to the ip to tell routing to use eth0 as the device
[06:48] <auronandace> !alis | mi3
[06:48] <phh451> How to find out where is my network traffic from/to and for what process?
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> Mi3 ##hardware
[06:49] <mi3> hi ActionParsnip !!
[06:49] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: the answer is mount: блочное устройство /dev/sr0 защищен от записи, монтируется только для чтения
[06:49] <Newbuntu2> ActionParsnip: so i don't need a DHC
[06:49] <mi3> thanks, ActionParsnip !
[06:49] <Newbuntu2> ActionParsnip: dhcp server to run? what ip do I connect to?
[06:49] <gimbal> hi all, so I'm getting back into ubuntu after a bit of a hiatus in toying around with windoz. Right now, I'm trying to build a package from source, using dbuild. I'm familiar with this process, and the concept of build-depends. My question centers around that there's a script I know used to be available for downloading build-deps by parsind debian/control - I just can't remember the name of it...
[06:50] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: it means the device is protected from being recorded, can be mounted only for reading
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> Newbuntu2: you'll find examples of the route command online, or read:   man route     i'd search too but on GSM its gonna be painfully slow
[06:51] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: it means the device is protected from being recorded, can be mounted only for reading
[06:51] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: the answer was: mount: блочное устройство /dev/sr0 защищен от записи, монтируется только для чтения
[06:51] <bobo37773> gimbal: get-build-deps?
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> Newbuntu2: you can add the command in /etc/rc.local to run at boot. Add it above the exit 0 line
[06:52] <topelo> how do i get into grub on startup?
[06:52] <gimbal> bobo37773: I found something like that in a haskell related package. As I recall, the script I remember wasn't packaged specific to haskell
[06:52] <auronandace> topelo: hold shift
[06:52] <topelo> forget?
[06:52] <topelo> thx auronandace
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: well yeah, its an optical media. Think about it
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: you should be able to access the data from /media/cdrom0
[06:54] <bobo37773> gimbal: Yeah I am not sure. I usually either builkd the dependencies for packages before hand or let my package manager handle it.
[06:54] <BootGuy> I am trying to recover grub after windows wiped it out. after typing 'root (hd0,0)' I tried 'setup (hd0)' but I got the error 'Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition' am I using the wrong partition?
[06:54] <gimbal> tx
[06:55] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: there is such device but it's a USB mobile internet modem, maybe it's the problem?
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> Bootguy: omgubuntu has a guide called: sticking it to grub. It uses a livecd/usb. You can reinstate grub there
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: i thought you said it was a cd..?
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: what happened to a couple of videos on a CD?
[06:57] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: yes it's. The CD is insrected, but the modem is also and on windown and on ubuntu it's recognised as a cd
[06:58] <gimbal> well I guess the thing from haskell-debian-utils will work - just wish I could remember what that other cmd was and where it was from; one of those "got it on the tip of my tongue" kind of things
[06:58] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: so the system should think i have 2 cds
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: does the cd by any chance contain drivers for the USB device?
[06:58] <RuJN> the modem which is recognised as a cd - yes
[06:59] <RuJN> it's HUAWEI
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> Rujn: those are windows drivers. Ubuntu isn't windows
[06:59] <RuJN> the real CD no
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: run: lsusb    use the 8 character hex ID to find guides
[07:00] <ax562> hello
[07:00] <ax562> Been having a nightmare tring to compile c++ code
[07:01] <ActionParsnip> ax562: asked in #c++  ?
[07:01] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: you see, the modem is working properly and it is a USB and it is recognised as a CD and it contains HUawei drivers
[07:01] <ax562> I believe I have 3 itirations of g++ installed and they aren't playing well together
[07:01] <deper29> ax562, what are you doing?
[07:01] <ax562> its a package install issue
[07:01] <ax562> deper29- trying to compile c++ code
[07:01] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: The real dick that the system DOEsN'T see should contain only video and maybe an .exe file
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: yes ubuntu doesnt need those, you just need to flip it with usb-modeswitch
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> Rujn: as I said, lsusb will find you guides. You don't need any additional drivers
[07:02] <ax562> was looking for help
[07:03] <ax562> been researching for a few days now.  With no luck.
[07:03] <deper29> ax562, I gathered that. that doesn't help me. what is your input?
[07:03] <ax562> input?
[07:03] <hydrox24> ax562: what code are you compiling?
[07:03] <deper29> what are you doing to compile?
[07:03] <hydrox24> ax562: with what commands?
[07:03]  * gimbal inputs, in the voice of Rinzler, I fight for the user! lol
[07:03] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: Ok, thank you, I'll try to disconnect.
[07:04] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: there isa driver
[07:04] <RuJN> Bus 006 Device 003: ID 12d1:14ac Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
[07:04] <ax562> oh just any simple code.  Using netbeans using netbeans welcome sample code
[07:04] <deper29> *facepalm*
[07:04] <gimbal> ax562: could it have something to do with netbeans config?
[07:04] <ax562> I finally figured out today its a package issue because I cannot compile even through terminal using g++ command
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: i suggest you run: sudo umount /media/cdrom0
[07:05] <gimbal> ax562: sorry to just throw out random questions, but can you simply uninstall some of the other gcc version?
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: ok search the web for: 12d1: 14ac ubuntu
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: the hexadecimal values are the ID
[07:07] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: thank you
[07:07] <deper29> ax562, here is what I do: g++ foo.cpp -o foo
[07:07] <ax562> deper29- doesn't work
[07:07] <ax562> g++ is looking for cc1plus
[07:08] <ax562> g++ is in /usr/bin
[07:08] <ax562> cc1plus is in /somewhereelse
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> ax562: did you install build-essential
[07:09] <ax562> I copied a pointer to the directory cc1plus is in and then it asked for another file that wasn't in the cc1plus directory
[07:09] <ax562> yes i installed build essential
[07:09] <ax562> also g++4.4 I believe...
[07:10] <ax562> and also installed c/c++ plugin from netbeans (not sure if that also installed g++)
[07:10] <ax562> new to linux but having a nightmare with bad install dependencies etc.
[07:11] <ax562> I don't quit easily though
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> ax562: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[07:11] <ax562> I actually tried #c++ and #android-dev but I think I got banned for asking this same quesstion...
[07:12] <auronandace> ax562: here's a good tip: you never get any dependency issues if you only stick to the default repos
[07:12]  * rinzler42 cheers
[07:12] <ax562> I have only installed thrugh synaptic and apt-get...same thing?
[07:13] <auronandace> ax562: and where did you get netbeans from?
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> ax562: what is the output of my command please...
[07:13] <ax562> pleas hold
[07:13] <wylde> ax562: have you done 'sudo apt-get build-dep <packagename>'  ?
[07:14] <ax562> maverick
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> ax562: yes apt-get and synaptic will achieve the same end
[07:14] <wesley> Is there any way I can 'set' my displays ? right now when I try to 'drag' (or touch) a tab, the tab appears on my other screen - really annoying when working with tabs and it's so sensitive that when i touch one the tab goes out of it's window :(
[07:14] <wesley> I have three monitors btw.
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> ax562: maverick is EOL dude
[07:14] <ax562> E0L?
[07:14] <rinzler42> end of lifetime
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> ax562: no support + no updates
[07:14] <wylde> !eol | ax562
[07:14] <rinzler42> or in tron speak: end of line lol
[07:15] <ax562> I am running this off my droid bionic..
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> ax562: i suggest you wipe it out and install a clean install of Precise
[07:15] <ax562> pretty sure I don't have another option
[07:16] <ax562> precise?
[07:16] <neo31> hello, does anyone have an idea on how to automatically execute a command on user login to a runlevel 3 tty ? thx
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> ax562: yes, ubuntu 12.04 released real soon and is LTS
[07:16] <wylde> ax562: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, it will be released in 13 days.
[07:17] <Puck1980> that soon cant wait for 12.04
[07:17] <topelo> me has 12.04 now
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> Puck1980: the beta is around
[07:18] <Puck1980> yes saw the beta, was not brave enough to go for it as need the puter for a few thngs right now
[07:18] <ax562> yeah but I'm 99% sure I can't run that of my cell phone
[07:19] <ax562> what was precise?
[07:19] <rinzler42> neo31: some ass'y required, yeah. For the run-on-login behavior, you could execte it from ~user/.profile  assuming conventional shell semantics for the user; for runlevel-specific behaviors, can check the output of the `runlevel' cmd
[07:20] <deper29> Wildbat, did you get the jdk okay?
[07:20] <rinzler42> neo31: as far as tty-specific stuff, there's also the 'tty' cmd
[07:21] <neo31> thx, and sry for the noob/lazy question rinzler42 (though I have looked on the net :p )
[07:21] <rinzler42> neo31: hey np
[07:21] <ax562> So.....just reinstall everything?
[07:21] <Wildbat> deper29, ya ~
[07:21] <neo31> I think .profile will do it. i have just lost my memory :p
[07:22] <rinzler42> ax562: for what it's worth, if you're looking to set up a linux devel environment wihtout committing to a full install, and you have an mswin or osx comp available, it's possible to install ubuntu to a virtualbox image and give it a try from there
[07:22] <topelo> ughh can't see chat 351 updates
[07:23] <Merwin_> Hi. I'm trying to uninstall gnome-terminal on 12.04 because I installed terminator, but it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop. Why? Is it a problem ?
[07:23] <ax562> I know I used to have dual boot of ubuntu 10.04 a while bac
[07:23] <ax562> I also have virtual maching on my windows pc
[07:24] <rinzler42> Merwin_:  apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop | grep gnome-terminal
[07:24] <rinzler42> It's a dep of ubuntu-desktop
[07:24] <everyl> !upgrade
[07:24] <ax562> The thing is I bought a lapdock for my phone and I modded the crap out of the webtop partition
[07:25] <Merwin_> rinzler42, so I can't uninstall it ?
[07:25] <ax562> I'm 99% sure I cannot upgrade my maverick because I will probably break my webtop and wont be able to use my lapdock
[07:26] <Merwin_> When I search for "term" in Unity, I got Terminal at first answer, that's boring because I want to use terminator...
[07:26] <rinzler42> Merwin_: you can uninstall it, but either that'll break ubuntu-desktop or necessitate its consequant removal from the system too. They can live side by side, I'd wager ;)
[07:26] <dfcnvt> I'm looking for a software that can translate from qwerty keyboard setting to stenotype keyboard... I couldn't find it.
[07:27] <Merwin_> rinzler42, maybe a way to "hide" it in the search ?
[07:27] <rinzler42> ax562: heh, priorities ><
[07:28] <rinzler42> Merwin_: hide it in what search? it's just a basic sorting algorithm afaik - a dependency is a dependency
[07:28] <Merwin_> rinzler42, I don't know what's the name of this, but when you hit the "Windows" key on the keyboard, you can search for apps
[07:29] <Merwin_> When I search for "term" I got Terminal first, not Terminator, that's why I want to uninstall it. I don't use it, why should I keep it ?
[07:29] <rinzler42> Merwin_: ahh, I think I get what you're getting at. You don't like it coming up in the menu when you want that other terminal you mentioned first?  You can define a launcher for that other terminal, just push a button and make it go ...
[07:30] <Merwin_> Yes...
[07:30] <Merwin_> But that's just a workaround :)
[07:30] <rinzler42> or right click it in the unity menu and add it to your favories menu
[07:30] <Merwin_> Anyway, thanks
[07:30] <rinzler42> k

[07:31] <hyper_ch> I wonder how to find out which java environment is being used on my comp by default
[07:32] <deper29> hyper_ch, java -version
[07:32] <hyper_ch> deper29: I tried "--version" :)

[07:33] <wylde> hyper_ch: apt-cache policy <packagename>

[07:36] <shani0610> Hello guys linux newb here.
[07:36] <shani0610> I would like to know if a 10 gig is enough for fed14?
[07:37] <wylde> shani0610: uhhh maybe you should ask in a Redhat channel. Redhat != Ubuntu
[07:37] <shani0610> ups sorry I wanted to know for ubuntu 10.10
[07:37] <iceroot> shani0610: 10gb is enough for the system itself you need about 4gb
[07:38] <iceroot> shani0610: + swap + your personal data, i am running ubuntu here with 8gb hdd
[07:38] <wylde> 10.10 is EOL I believe.
[07:38] <shani0610> yeah thnx I am giving it a shot,
[07:38] <iceroot> shani0610: ah yes and ubuntu 10.10 is not supported anymore, please use 11.10 or 10.04 if you want a stable long-term support
[07:38] <wylde> !eol
[07:38] <hyper_ch> shani0610: why ubuntu 10.10? that's not being supported for much longer
[07:39] <shani0610> yes I know that
[07:39] <iceroot> hyper_ch: its already out of support
[07:39] <shani0610> I am currently downloading it
[07:39] <hyper_ch> iceroot: it is? but 18 months would be end ofr april 2012
[07:39] <iceroot> hyper_ch: 10.04.2012
[07:39] <iceroot> !10.10
[07:39] <hyper_ch> iceroot: ah, I always counted in full months ;)
[07:39] <iceroot> shani0610: please dont use 10.10 its not getting security updates anymore
[07:39] <shani0610> Thnx guys...
[07:40] <iceroot> hyper_ch: me too :)
[07:40] <shani0610> I am just trying to get a lose grasp of it
[07:40] <shani0610> nothing else
[07:40] <hyper_ch> shani0610: default ubuntu installation requires about 1.5 GB diskspace... so 10GB is plenty for running the system with more applications... however to store videos and pictures it might be a bit limited
[07:40] <iceroot> shani0610: if i am correct 10.10 is using the old desktop gnome2 which is not available anymore and replaced with unity
[07:40] <napalm54> Seems a lot of people hate on mono, why so?
[07:41] <iceroot> napalm54: no free software
[07:41] <shani0610> Yep know that too
[07:41] <iceroot> !free | napalm54
[07:42] <ax562> dam it...now I try to uninstall and I get errors...
[07:42] <iceroot> napalm54: so we removed everything from the 12.04 which is using mono
[07:42] <napalm54> Mono is open source though right?
[07:42] <iceroot> from the 12.04 cd
[07:42] <iceroot> napalm54: "yes" but its using protected things by microsoft
[07:42] <shani0610> I am feeling like a kid against a buncha spartans or shaolin monks... man I am outta here adios!
[07:42] <iceroot> napalm54: just a matter of time when microsoft will go crazy and sue the hell out of everything
[07:43] <hyper_ch> shani0610: better go with 12.04 directly... it still has a few bugs but it will be LTS (long term support) and should be officially released later this month
[07:43] <ezoe> if I upgrade to 12.04 from 11.10, is mono automatically removed?
[07:43] <Aquaguy> Hello
[07:43] <iceroot> ezoe: no
[07:43] <Aquaguy> I'm installing php5-mysql, it should create 3 files under /etc/php5/conf.d
[07:43] <Aquaguy> but it is not
[07:43] <ezoe> iceroot: glad it's no. I don't want upgrade to remove something.
[07:43] <iceroot> Aquaguy: dpkg -L php5-mysql  is showing the files?
[07:44] <iceroot> ezoe: mono is still in ubuntu just a new installation of 12.04 will not install mono by default because its not needed for the default software anymore but srtill in the repos and useable
[07:45] <ezoe> Is it hard to manually removed mono and all mono dependent software?
[07:45] <ezoe> s/removed/remove/
[07:45] <iceroot> ezoe: no

[08:05] <ikonia> ax562: why do you think it's broken ?
[08:05] <ax562> http://pastie.org/3779035
[08:06] <ikonia> yeah, I saw the link, but why do you think it's broken ?
[08:06] <ax562> when I compile in terminal I get the same error also
[08:06] <everyl> http://i.imgur.com/LQz1E.jpg
[08:06] <ax562> it's a package issue
[08:06] <ikonia> yeah, that's not unexpected
[08:06] <ikonia> ax562: why do you think it's a package issue ?
[08:07] <everyl> this happens. Just installed ubuntu 12.04b2 -- that happens when I start up the computer. Any tips on what I can do?
[08:07] <ax562> because the compiler is looking for a file that isn't in the right place and because I can't uninstall it
[08:08] <ax562> and when I point to the missing file g++ needs another missing file that is mia
[08:08] <Misha_Alchevsk> the truth is that "ubuntu" is supported by volunteers all over the world?
[08:08] <ikonia> ax562: files aren't just "mia" nor is that package broken, so what has happened
[08:08] <ikonia> Misha_Alchevsk: what ?
[08:09] <ikonia> ax562: please show me the output of g++ -v
 nothing )
[08:09] <ikonia> Misha_Alchevsk: ok, so please don't make random/pointless statements
[08:12] <ax562> 4.4
[08:13] <ikonia> ax562: no, please show me the full output
[08:14] <Ch4rAss> does ubunutu download page work for you? http://www.ubuntu.com/download
[08:14] <ikonia> Ch4rAss: yes
[08:14] <Ch4rAss> ok :/
[08:16] <matcouto> Guys, Is it woth to install the 64bits version if I have only 4gb RAM ?
[08:16] <ikonia> matcouto: sure
[08:17] <iceroot> matcouto: yes
[08:17] <everyl> Okay, so it seems that after installing 12.04, the upper bar and the left bar that activates on mouse-over don't ever appear. Any idea how I could invoke a shell?
[08:17] <matcouto> ikonia, but what about the applications? Would I be limited to use some kind of apps?!
[08:17] <iceroot> everyl: #ubuntu+1
[08:17] <ikonia> matcouto: no
[08:19] <matcouto> nice ikonia  thanks

[08:19] <ikonia> ax562: Linaro ?
[08:20] <ikonia> ax562: what version of ubuntu is this ?
[08:20] <robertzaccour> webcam display freezes when it sits there for a while. I'm trying to record my mug for picture in picture editing. any way to keep the webcam display from freezing like that?
[08:20] <ikonia> target arm ?
[08:20] <ax562> linaro?
[08:20] <ikonia> ax562: yeah, look at the version info
[08:20] <ikonia> ax562: what distro is this ?
[08:20] <ikonia> !info g++
[08:21] <ax562> it's webtop version I think maverick?
[08:22] <ikonia> webtop version ?
[08:22] <ax562> I'm running ubungtu off my droid bionic
[08:22] <robertzaccour> anyone else have an issue with webcam display freezing?
[08:22] <ikonia> ax562: what is webtop
[08:22] <ikonia> ax562: is this the motorola distribution ?
[08:23] <ax562> It's the hdmi OS off my phone
[08:23] <ikonia> it's not ubuntu
[08:23] <ikonia> it looks like it's a version of a linux distro that motorola built
[08:25] <ax562> It is ubuntu but stripped down version
[08:25] <ikonia> ax562: it's not ubuntu, it has customisation
[08:25] <ax562> not sure what that meanss
[08:25] <ikonia> ax562: I'd suggest contacting the vendor, they must have support resources for this distro
[08:25] <ikonia> ax562: who makes your phone
[08:25] <ax562> someone here asked me to tell them the version and its maverick
[08:26] <ax562> motorolla
[08:26] <ax562> They will not help because it's modified
[08:26] <ikonia> ax562: it's not maverick, it appears to be based on maverick, but from what I'm reading it's a motorolla created
[08:27] <ax562> I have terminal and runing xfce4
[08:27] <ax562> I'm sure it's ubuntu
[08:28] <ax562> not sure how  how I can prove it to you
[08:28] <ikonia> ax562: it's based on ubuntu, it's not ubuntu
[08:28] <ax562> ok but thats not the problem
[08:29] <ikonia> ax562: contact motorolla
[08:29] <ax562> really...
[08:29] <ikonia> ax562: yup
[08:30] <robertzaccour> does guvcview webcam display normally freeze up after several minutes being displayed or is it most likely my new webcam?
[08:31] <z4k4ri4> Hi, I just installed precise and having some trouble with usb evdo modem
[08:31] <z4k4ri4> Could somebody point to the right procedure/forums?
[08:31] <ax562> I just mentioned they won't help
[08:32] <ikonia> ax562: yes, but it is THEIR product, it is there responsability
[08:32] <ikonia> ax562: we only support the ubuntu released products, not modified versions
[08:32] <everyl> the normal term, what is its path in ubuntu?
[08:33] <ax562> who is we?
[08:33] <everyl> you and i
[08:33] <ikonia> ax562: this channel/the ubuntu support community
[08:34] <ax562> dude, because you say it's not ubuntu?
[08:34] <ikonia> ax562: correct, it's not ubuntu, it's a comercial product built by motorola based on the ubuntu platform
[08:34]  * z4k4ri4 waiting for answers...
[08:35] <Ben64> mint and backtrack are closer to ubuntu than webtop is, and they aren't supported here either
[08:36] <Ben64> !precise | z4k4ri4
[08:37] <everyl> no seriously, what's the path of a term
[08:37] <everyl> so I can find it, and open it
[08:38] <h4xx0r> Help me guys! Im stuck and dont know how to reboot ubuntu! Please help me please
[08:38] <ikonia> h4xx0r: sudo reboot
[08:38] <h4xx0r> jk! :P
[08:38] <h4xx0r> was kidding
[08:38] <ikonia> h4xx0r: right, don't make stupid jokes, it's not funny
[08:38] <h4xx0r> who here using xubuntu 11.04?
[08:38] <ikonia> h4xx0r: it's a support channel, you need help, anything else, don't
[08:38] <Ben64> everyl: what do you mean
[08:39] <tianhong-wang> sudo init 6
[08:39] <h4xx0r> alrite
[08:39] <h4xx0r> real problem now
[08:39] <h4xx0r> does xchat have an option to sit in the tray while im doing other stuff?
[08:39] <h4xx0r> closing it just terminates the whole application
[08:40] <tianhong-wang> h4xx0r, yeah, no tray function
[08:41] <everyl> Ben64: the absolute path of a terminal. So I can find my way to it and start it up (my window manager is acting up, thus the inability to start it up normally)
[08:41] <ikonia> everyl: #ubuntu+1 please.
[08:42] <ax562> so if I'm running 12 you can share your expertise but if im not I'm a waste of "the community's" time?
[08:42] <ikonia> ax562: you're not running 12
[08:42] <ikonia> ax562: please don't lie, you've given us the info, we've pointed you at the right place to get support
[08:42] <jham_> any web dev here?
[08:42] <ikonia> jham_: try #web
[08:42] <jham_> who can help me on xampp? thanks
[08:42] <Ben64> everyl: /usr/bin/xterm ?
[08:42] <h4xx0r> yeh tell me
[08:43] <jham_> ok
[08:43] <jham_> thanks
[08:43] <ikonia> jham_: you may want to try lamp, xampp is a self contained platform that not many people will be interested in helping with
[08:44] <everyl> Ben64: YES. thanks man
[08:44] <ax562> lie?
[08:44] <ikonia> ax562: you have told us the distro/product you are using
[08:44] <ikonia> ax562: you can't just lie and say you are using something different to try to get support
[08:45] <ax562> your community sounds more like a culkt
[08:45] <h4xx0r> does anyone here have a workaround to get OpenVPN working in xubuntu 11.04
[08:45] <ax562> that would be retarted...not what I was trying to say
[08:45] <ikonia> ax562: no, it just supports official ubuntu products/releases.
[08:45] <ax562> only right?
[08:46] <ikonia> ax562: motorolla is your support vendor, there maybe other support resources for webtop on the web, but not here
[08:46] <everyl> during installation I never set up a root account, only a normal account. is there some default root password, or what? How would I su in a term?
[08:46] <Ben64> ax562: everyone in here knows about ubuntu, not about webtop, so any advice wouldn't be applicable for your situation
[08:46] <Ben64> oh well
[08:46] <ax562> cult?
[08:46] <ikonia> ax562: enough now
[08:46] <delet> hi all
[08:46] <ikonia> ax562: it's been made clear this channel does not support webtop, you've been given suggestions on where to go, please stop this discussion
[08:46] <h4xx0r> A workaround to get openVPN working on Xubuntu 11.04. ANYONE?
[08:47] <ikonia> h4xx0r: just repeating it over and over won't change anything
[08:47] <Shape> Hello, I have installed Ubuntu (shriked my secondary partition with Gparted) and Windows Xp won't load anymore. "hal.dll" problem
[08:47] <ax562> I'm having package issues but since I'm not on the "community's" version I am not worthy
[08:47] <ikonia> Shape: the guys in ##windows will show you how to recover that
[08:47] <ikonia> Shape: you may have to re-apply grub after the windows fix

[08:49] <everyl> Hey guys. So, I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop, and I'm wondering what the deal is with su / normal user. Specifically, how do I elevate to a root account in a terminal session?
[08:50] <Ben64> !sudo | everyl
[08:50] <Myrtti> !ru | delet
[08:50] <delet> thanks
[08:51] <everyl> wait, out of curiosity, what is that?
[08:51] <everyl> !ru | delet
[08:51] <everyl> oh, the characters weren't rendering for me, sorry, nevermind
[08:53] <opalepatrick> can I install gdk-pixbuf-2.0 >= 2.24.1 on ubuntu 11.10 and if so, where can I get a package from? NOt available in standard repos
[08:55] <Steell> hi
[08:55] <Steell> hi
[08:56] <zeroblock> Steell: Hello
[08:56] <internetking> hey all on the gnome files display how do i display dot files?
[08:56] <Steell> ctrl + h
[08:57] <internetking> thanks
[08:57] <Steell> yw
[08:57] <Steell> bye
[08:57] <fidel> internetking: you know nautilus has a menu? ;)
[08:57] <fidel> which helps finding functions and even the related shortcuts - just as hint
[08:59] <internetking> actually i am using default files display that came with ubinu but will  look into it
[09:00] <paulus68> where can I find a alternate server installation for 11.10 not available for an x386?
[09:01] <ne2k> I am trying to connect a bluetooth headset to my Natty machine. I can pair the device and get a connection that shows with hcitool con, but it never shows in the hardware list in sound preferences
[09:06] <Xtreme> guys, i created a adhoc network. but whenever i connect any device to it.. the device restarts.. any help?
[09:07] <nunnsby> hi all, I have a question re syslogs on ubuntu server 11.10
[09:08] <nunnsby> I see there are 2
[09:08] <nunnsby> syslog-ng and rsyslog
[09:08] <nunnsby> looked at the differences online but can't see too much difference. does one run by default, and the other not?
[09:09] <fidel> nunnsby: ps xau | grep sysl
[09:09] <fidel> should tell you what might currently running
[09:09] <Onnonymous> Xtreme: have you looked for clues in /var/log ?
[09:10] <fidel> nunnsby: a 10.04 box i have right here is using rsyslogd out of the box - if that helps
[09:11] <nunnsby> thanks guys, yeah, rsyslogd
[09:11] <Nhovha> quit
[09:11] <nunnsby> rsyslogd -c4
[09:12] <nunnsby> okay, just wondering as need to setup a syslogging box for networks devices, so at least I know what it is running then
[09:12] <nunnsby> cheers for the help :)
[09:12] <nunnsby> fidel: I'm running it on 11.10, so yeah it is on that too then
[09:12] <nunnsby> thanks man
[09:13] <nunnsby> next question, while I think it through
[09:13] <nunnsby> is there any benefit on exporting logs to sql, apart from searching I suppose, as opposed to just letting them lie in /var/logs
[09:13] <nunnsby> and let them just retain that way?
[09:14] <nunnsby> any thoughts on the matter

[09:18] <realus> ?
[09:18] <GirlyGirl> realus: 1 sec
[09:18] <ruberto> exposing log info to sql attacks can be risky! there may be advantages, but i am a pesimist
 you know, the brightness adjust works until I surpass the second set of updates
[09:18] <realus> the ones after the recommended security updates
[09:18] <realus> if you know what I mean ?
[09:19] <realus> so one of those update somehow disables the brightness changing
[09:19] <GirlyGirl> realus: try this http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=45271
[09:19] <GirlyGirl> realus: Also if the update breaks it, you should file a bug report on launchpad

[09:38] <Xtreme> GirlyGirl: how can i ssh without connecting to wlan?
[09:38] <GirlyGirl> Xtreme: You can't!
[09:38] <ikonia> Guest89281: what's the problem ?
[09:38] <Xtreme> true, u only told me to ssh
[09:39] <diverdude> How can i see if my laptop has a usb 3 port?
[09:39] <Xtreme> GirlyGirl: it tried all i can, searched many forums.. no one reported such problem
[09:39] <Xtreme> GirlyGirl: should i report it as bug at ubuntu?
[09:39] <Xtreme> coz it works when i do it with windows
[09:39] <ruberto> usb3 ports are usully colored blue
[09:39] <Guest89281> hello
[09:39] <Guest89281> anyone there
[09:40] <GirlyGirl> Xtreme: I told you shh MonkeyDust said ssh
[09:40] <Xtreme> lol..
[09:40] <ruberto> if your in windows run dxdiag, or check systems requirements.
[09:40] <Xtreme> GirlyGirl: but shud i report? what u say?
[09:41] <Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie> WHAT
[09:41] <Xtreme> ubuntu bug. wifi error Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie
[09:41] <GirlyGirl> Xtreme: How on earth would you use ssh without a network connection?
[09:41] <Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie> this is cool i just discovered this now
[09:41] <Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie> lol
[09:41] <Xtreme> GirlyGirl: that is true,, so i got confused
[09:42] <MonkeyDust> Xtreme  i use ssh, what is it you ant to do?
[09:42] <ruberto> lol, why would you want to ssh without an internet connection
[09:42] <Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie> uhhhm
[09:42] <Xtreme> well, i got nothing to do with ssh
[09:42] <MonkeyDust> want*
[09:42] <GirlyGirl> ruberto: You can with LAN as well
[09:42] <Xtreme> i created a ad-hoc network
[09:42] <Xtreme> and whenever a devices tried to conenct to it, it reboots
[09:42] <Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie> i like chocolate
[09:42] <Xtreme> i tried with three devices and they all rebooted
[09:42] <Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie> how cool.
[09:43] <Xtreme> when i created ad-hoc in windows, it worked
[09:43] <Xtreme> so my guess it, its ubuntu problem.
[09:43] <Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie> cool story bru.
[09:43] <Xtreme> i searched many forumns, but no one reported any such issue
[09:43] <Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie> OKAY SHUT UP
[09:43] <Xtreme> so i was wondering i should report this bug to ubuntu or not
[09:44] <ruberto> you would have to set up some sort of virtual server, ssh wont just send over you would need to have it run over a dns
[09:44] <tktiddle> how can i search aptitude to find a package that provides a particular file?
[09:44] <Xtreme> ruberto: bro, i dont want ssh
[09:44] <Xtreme> i just misread GirlyGirl
[09:45] <ruberto> oh lol soz no prob
[09:45] <Xtreme> ruberto: well, only 1.. when i try to connect to my ad-hoc, the other device reboots
[09:46] <Xtreme> well, honestly. i dont know why everyone assumed i want to do ssh without network connection.. coz that is just impossible..
[09:46] <ruberto> thats odd behavior.. what are you running
[09:46] <Xtreme> ubuntu, 10.4
[09:46] <stephane_yaal> #yaal
[09:47] <iceroot> tktiddle: apt-file for not installed packages, dpkg -S for installed packages
[09:47] <Xtreme> ruberto: nokia mobile restarteed.. android's wifi was getting reseted continuously
[09:47] <Xtreme> ruberto: i thought it was my hw issue, but it worked in window
[09:48] <ruberto> what noikia is it??
[09:48] <Xtreme> i think 76 something.. i dont have it now.. android was samsung galaxy pop..
[09:48] <Xtreme> i have another micromax, it also reboots
[09:49] <Xtreme> i tried with adhoc.. then i tried setting up Fake AP, just to test.. same issue
[09:49] <Xtreme> its like no one can connect to my ubuntu via wifi
[09:50] <ruberto> there have been known issues with the E71, it sounds like a hardware issue
[09:51] <Xtreme> well, i can understand if single mobile was facing problem.. but how u explain 3 different mobiles...  and second, i also thought hardware, but then how everything works in windows?
[09:51] <ruberto> but you say it works with windows?
[09:51] <Xtreme> ruberto: exactly
[09:51] <Xtreme> so i am confused
[09:52] <ruberto> (o_O) mmm, ill do a bit of research
[09:52] <Xtreme> thanks bro..
[09:52] <Xtreme> my sis is calling me for lunch, i will be back in 10 mins
[09:52] <Xtreme> thanks a lot.

[10:40] <Pourfendeur> Is someone here used to use conky? I  can't make the "ring" pictures appear, and I am using the conkyrc of the pack I downloaded :/
[10:43] <AchlysEpithet> mi3,
[10:44] <subthalamus> what fstab options do I need to mount RW a windows 7 share which is wide open?
[10:44] <MonkeyDust> DarkStar1  copy the link on the website and then use wget to get it
[10:44] <HDroid> What nvidia driver version should I expect when using (post-release updates) (version current-updates)? nvidia-settings shows 280.13 which is a bit old.
[10:44] <ikonia> subthalamus: it's mounted in fuser, userspace, not in fstab
[10:44] <subthalamus> it keeps mounting read only
[10:45] <DarkStar1> MonkeyDust: you can't you get folied by the OTN agreement
[10:46] <subthalamus> i have tried //192.168.44.100/share   /path_to/mount   cifs   guest,_netdev   0 0
[10:46] <subthalamus> /192.168.44.100/share   /path_to/mount   cifs   defaults   0 0
[10:46] <subthalamus> ikonia: I'm not sure how that helps me..?
[10:46] <MonkeyDust> subthalamus  try NFS, not CIFS
[10:47] <subthalamus> I dont have control over the windows box
[10:47] <subthalamus> at least not easily right now
[10:47] <subthalamus> actually, he just told me its XP
[10:48] <Bndrr> I'm trying to run a program called Pokerth, but i cant establish connexion, someone know why or know this program for linux ??
[10:49] <woozly> guys, when I try to install Ubuntu
[10:49] <woozly> I can't tap on Next button
[10:49] <woozly> because my monitor 9"
[10:49] <woozly> and window size > monitor dimension
[10:49] <woozly> how to click Next button? :)))
[10:50] <MonkeyDust> woozly  use tab on your keyboard
[10:50] <mao123> good
[10:50] <Bndrr> I'm trying to run a program called Pokerth, but i cant establish connexion, someone know why or know this program for linux ??
[10:51] <mao123> i dont know
[10:52] <yellabs-r2> hello there , how would i get libexpat.so.0 in my natty system ?
[10:52] <yellabs-r2> any tips are welcome
[10:53] <mao123> what is the "tips?"
[10:53] <Marzata> what will be the new "unity" in 12.04?
[10:54] <mao123> who know qq for linux??
[10:56] <fidel> Marzata: what do you mean by "what"? version?
[10:58] <fidel> anyone into current laser-printer models which might come with full driver support for ubuntu?
[10:59] <mao123> what conutry are your?
[10:59] <fidel> i am kinda lost in the linux-printer-support-area - as i personly dont use printers at all - but am in need to get one for a non-tech-interested friend
[10:59] <fidel> mao123: this chat limits itself to ubuntu-related topics. general chat is usualy in the offtopic channel
[11:03] <zvacet> fidel: see if https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers helps
[11:06] <fidel> thanks zvacet - but it has no real context for single models and is at least partly outdated i guess
[11:07] <jamjam> !cluster
[11:07] <bastidrazor> yellabs-r2: that file does not exist in natty.
[11:07] <fidel> i hoped canonical might maintain some kind of list of compatible devices (similar to laptop modells) but seems like they didnt
[11:08] <Salaria> hi i downloaded a theme from net.. i want to install it . how to install? im using ubuntu 10.04
[11:09] <dury> hi there channel :)
[11:09] <tomgeorge> Are there any tutorials or books for Glade Interface Designer?
[11:09] <Noobyguy> Hey guys, is there any way to stop Mono from running? It's now running 3 of them at once and its taking up all the resources
[11:10] <dury> tomgeorge: http://glade.gnome.org/
[11:11] <zvacet> fidel:  try http://linuxhcl.com/browse/search
[11:11] <tomgeorge> dury, been through that...
[11:11] <peterflocke76> Hi, how cna i delete all entrys in my routing table? i dont want to delete all by using sudo route del <ip adress>
[11:11] <fidel> zvacet: thanks once again
[11:12] <tomgeorge> need something simpler or at least  from a different perspective..
[11:12] <zvacet> fidel: np
[11:12] <appi_uppi> how to check the firewall status in ubuntu without sudo?
[11:12] <dury> tomgeorge: all right.. it's not enough for u?
[11:13] <tomgeorge> dury, no I want something with examples...
[11:13] <zvacet> appi_uppi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW
[11:13] <dury> tomgeorge: I know what u mean
[11:13] <appi_uppi> zvacet: thank you
[11:13] <zvacet> appi_uppi: np
[11:13] <MonkeyDust> Salaria  i have 10.04 in vbox -- right click on the desktop, Theme - Install
[11:14] <appi_uppi> zvacet: i think the link doesn't mention anything about ::: services ufw status
[11:14] <Marzata> fidel: what unity? once were the buttons on the right, than came some unity, ...
[11:15] <fidel> Marzata: 12.04 comes with an updated unity version
[11:15] <Salaria> thanks. it worked MonkeyDust  :)
[11:15] <fidel> consider checking the package list if you are interested in the version-number
[11:15] <fidel> i stil ldont get what you are really asking for
[11:15] <zvacet> appi_uppi:  you have to scroll little bit  sudo ufw status
[11:15] <Marzata> if we upgrade 10.04 to 12.04 will we be forced to use unity?
[11:15] <appi_uppi> oh yeah
[11:15] <fidel> Marzata: no
[11:16] <fidel> Marzata: you can always choose what desktop env you want to use - unity is just the default
[11:16] <MonkeyDust> Marzata  unity is just the default, you can easily change it - i do
[11:16] <fidel> Marzata: if you prefer kde - install it- if you prefer gnome-shell ..install it ....i think you got the idea
[11:16] <appi_uppi> zvacet: thnx zvacet again..... i had already checked the link but without sudo i was trying to know the status
[11:16] <zvacet> Marzata: witch DE do you use
[11:17] <Marzata> fidel: we have nice desktops from 10.04, but once upgrade to 12.04 what will happened?
[11:17] <zvacet> appi_uppi: so now eveeryhing is o.k.?
[11:17] <fidel> Marzata: the clock will still tick ;)
[11:17] <fidel> Marzata: ask a real question
[11:17] <MonkeyDust> !nounity| Marzata
[11:18] <appi_uppi> zvacet: yes yes :)
[11:18] <Marzata> 10.04 to 12.04, the desktop will be the same or no?
[11:18] <zvacet> appi_uppi:  8-)
[11:18] <MonkeyDust> Marzata  no, 10.04 uses gnome2, 12.04 gnome3
[11:18] <auronandace> Marzata: gnome2 will be dropped, plain and simple
[11:19] <dury> I want to know if 11.10 release will detect webcams
[11:19] <Marzata> so we have to teach our users to the new interface?
[11:19] <MonkeyDust> Marzata  yes
[11:19] <auronandace> Marzata: gnome2 is no longer supported by the gnome devs
[11:19] <dury> in a laptop or desktop boxes
[11:19] <fidel> dury: it will detect at least some out of the box
[11:19] <Marzata> we spent 2 years to make their minds move to this interface...
[11:19] <MonkeyDust> Marzata  ubuntu classic looks very much like gnome2, but it *is* gnome3
[11:20] <cray> Hello, can someone please help me edit my boot order in grub.cfg. I`m on an old grub because I`m running linuxcnc but I have opened grub.cfg and I just don`t understand what to change. I can`t pastebin because it is on another computer with no net access.
[11:20] <fidel> Marzata: well - gnome 3 isnt totally different , and there are other options like xfce aswell
[11:20] <auronandace> Marzata: 2 years is a long time in software
[11:20] <dury> fidel: connected by usb port?
[11:20] <Marzata> auronandace: it depends how old you are, son
[11:20] <dury> fidel: or what?
[11:20] <Noobyguy> Guys i need to know quick how you kill the Mono process ;_;
[11:20] <cray> grub is 1.98 - I can see XP which I want to boot first and see the other options, I just can`t see anything regarding the order!
[11:20] <fidel> dury: you asked a pretty general question without real hardware-context
[11:20] <MonkeyDust> Noobyguy  ps -e Mono
[11:21] <MonkeyDust> Noobyguy  ps -e | grep Mono
[11:21] <fidel> so i cant tell you if your modell - which you havent even mentioned afaik works directly after install or not
[11:21] <jrib> cray: I'll send you the ubuntu grub link, but this channel is only for ubuntu support; we can't support linuxnc
[11:21] <jrib> !grub > cray
[11:22] <claudio> Hi. I'm using Upstart to run my program, but I'd like to rely on Redis being already started. Redis is not under Upstart (and I'd like it to remain this way). How could I "start on" depending on another non-upstarted process?
[11:22] <zvacet> cray: do you want to change boot order?
[11:22] <cray> Yes...
[11:22] <cray> I`ve done it before years ago and it was simply a case of changing something in this file, just can`t remeber what!!
[11:22] <jrib> claudio: try #upstart
[11:23] <dury> fidel: for instance... in a laptop the webcam it's integrated. will it detect?
[11:23] <zvacet> cray: install startup manager and with it do what you want to do
[11:23] <auronandace> Marzata: starting with 12.04 the lts releases get 5 years support, that is rather reasonable
[11:23] <fidel> dury: as i told you before: - it might depend on the hardware / webcam modell
[11:23] <Noobyguy> ps -e | grep mono gives me 14259 ?        01:53:27 mono 14415 ?        01:55:34 mono
[11:23] <MonkeyDust> Noobyguy  then kill 14259
[11:24] <fidel> dury: it detected the inbuild wevcam in the last 3 laptops i had in my fingers - which still doenst cover your question - as it is too general
[11:24] <cray> zvacet - ~~OK , I don`t understand why everyone and all the google links tell me to install something. It is a hastle since the computer is not connected to the net. I did it just by simply editing so,mething last time!!
[11:24] <auronandace> Marzata: another year to go for 10.04 desktop support to end, so you still have time to transitiom
[11:24] <auronandace> transition
[11:24] <claudio> jrib, thx!
[11:24] <Noobyguy> Great thanks alot
[11:25] <cray> is there a reason I can no longer edit the boot order just by manually editing this grub.cfg file??
[11:25] <fidel> dury: to make sure you might need to go the step from a general question -> to a hardware-specific question. So check what webcam might be in that specific laptop and then start the search for support over again
[11:25] <jrib> cray: you're on linuxnc; we can't tell you.  This channel is for ubuntu support only
[11:25] <auronandace> cray: grub.cfg is generated from the files in /etc/grub.d/ you are meant to edit those and then issue update-grub
[11:26] <zvacet> cray:I think on http://members.iinet.net/~herman546/index.html you will find whaty are you looking for
[11:26] <cray> jrib - linuxcnc is just a programme no???
[11:26] <dury> fidel: well... can you  use it with skype... does it work?
[11:26] <jrib> cray: it's a distro, is it not?
[11:26] <fidel> dury: i dont use skype
[11:26] <dury> fidel: all right
[11:27] <cray> jrib - what is a distro?
[11:27] <jrib> cray: how did you install your linux?
[11:27] <fidel> we need a wiki-plugin for the bot ;)
[11:27] <zvacet> dury: boot live cd and see if your webcam is working
[11:28] <cray> I went on the internet and downloaded an iso
[11:28] <cray> burnt to disk and then installed
[11:28] <dury> zvacet: it doesn't
[11:29] <jrib> cray: an iso of what? From where?
[11:29] <Bndrr> I'm trying to run a program called Pokerth, but i cant establish connexion, someone know why or know this program for linux ??
[11:30] <fidel> Bndrr: is that some kind of browser game or where did you get the package/src from?
[11:30] <zvacet> cray: try on  #linuxcnc
[11:30] <fidel> Bndrr: dont expect we know some random game - feed us with some informations which might help us helping you ;)
[11:30] <Bndrr> from the website www.pokerth.net
[11:30] <MonkeyDust> Bndrr  i have it too, click on one of the non-local option, then click Create user account
[11:31] <Bndrr> It works for windows
[11:31] <Bndrr> but i cant establish a connection in linux
[11:31] <MonkeyDust> Bndrr  pokerth is in the ubuntu repos
[11:31] <Bndrr> yesi have installed
[11:31] <engkur> cray: did you want setup linuxcnc ?
[11:31] <ikonia> Bndrr: that website works fine in linux
[11:31] <Bndrr> yes the same here
[11:32] <ikonia> Bndrr: it's more likley you don't have dns setup correctly in linux or something like that
[11:32] <subthalamus> ikonia: the answer was to add "file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777" in the options in the fstab
[11:32] <Bndrr> I'm trying to Internet game
[11:32] <harold> say my nvidia drivers are screwing up... and on TTY1 I'm doing stuff, what can I do to essentially restart tty7 after doing things in tty1?
[11:32] <Bndrr> how can I check the dns for this game ?
[11:32] <ikonia> subthalamus: that will still use the ntfs kernel module rather than fuse
[11:32] <ikonia> Bndrr: do other websites work ?
[11:32] <Bndrr> browser works fine.
[11:33] <Bndrr> is just this app
[11:33] <subthalamus> ikonia: dont understand the relevance
[11:33] <rAg3-nix> harold: [ctrl][alt]F7
[11:33] <subthalamus> ikonia: I wanted to mount the share permanently without credentials and with RW
[11:33] <windowsmaker> Hello peoplehi
[11:33] <subthalamus> ikonia: this accomplishes that
[11:33] <windowsmaker> hi
[11:33] <Bndrr> someone can Givme an IP for this game ??
[11:33] <ikonia> subthalamus: the kernel module is not stable for read/write functionliaty
[11:34] <ikonia> Bndrr: you don't need an IP if dns is working
[11:34] <windowsmaker> need help
[11:34] <subthalamus> ikonia: ok, thanks, can u point me to a howto for switching to fuse then?
[11:34] <harold> rAg3-nix: ... yeah, but how can, for an instance, log it out?
[11:34] <ikonia> subthalamus: it's userspace, not /etc/fstab global as I said earlier
[11:34] <Bndrr> I see all the time an error during the connexion
[11:34] <Bndrr> for Internet game,
[11:34] <windowsmaker> hi need help
[11:35] <ikonia> windowsmaker: ask a question then
[11:35] <rAg3-nix> harold: i dnt understand , rephrase ?
[11:35] <windowsmaker> ikonia: i do not need a question i need an answer
[11:35] <ikonia> windowsmaker: to give you an answer, we need to know the question
[11:35] <Kre10s> what app is responsible for locking the screen in ubuntu?
[11:35] <windowsmaker> okay
[11:35] <ikonia> ooh what a surprise, Lars
[11:35] <Bndrr> This is the msg, conexion closed by server
[11:35] <Bndrr> any idea? pokerth
[11:35] <windowsmaker> ikonia: hehe that is true i know
[11:36] <Kre10s> its neither xscreensaver of xlock...
[11:36] <subthalamus> ikonia: um, I know the difference between userspace and kernel space, but I've avoided fuse when possible supposedly because of performance issues
[11:36] <windowsmaker> ikonia: i have read your sentence wrong
[11:36] <windowsmaker> ikonia: what surprise? i am not lars
[11:36] <windowsmaker> well i set up ubuntu on an old machine but it is rery slow. what can i do
[11:37] <harold> rAg3-nix: sorry - i guess I'll get to the point: my nvidia drivers are acting up. I want to start using the non-proprietary ones -- how can I do this? which conf file would I have to edit?
[11:38] <Bndrr> I have this issue in pokerth someone know how to help ? http://i40.tinypic.com/2aj5nnk.png
[11:38] <engkur> windowmaker: using debian, much light than ubuntu, suitable for ram 128mb text mode
[11:39] <ikonia> engkur: nonsense, they are pretty much the same running in text mode
[11:40] <engkur> ikonia, or using old distro
[11:41] <_255> Hello folks!
[11:42] <_255> After I had Ubuntu installed at my machine when I restart it follows directly to the bios, what could that be?
[11:42] <jamjam> I'm currently reading about limits.conf, how can i set chromium to highest priority? like this? >> chromium-browser hard priority 100
[11:42] <ikonia> _255: nothing to do with ubuntu, sounds like your motherboard has a fault or someone is leaning on the keyboard
[11:43] <_255> ikonia, is there a way to test it?
[11:43] <dury> zvacet: what are the webcam brands that are suitable for ubuntu?
[11:43] <jatt> how do I get the screen resolution using the command line?
[11:43] <ikonia> _255: unplug the keyboard, if it still goes straight to the bios, suggest you contact the vendor
[11:43] <ikonia> jatt: xrandr
[11:43] <ikonia> !hcl | dury
[11:44] <songxk> Hello
[11:44] <_255> ikonia, ok, thanx
[11:44] <jamjam> anyone familiar with limits.conf? is this correct? >> chromium-browser hard priority 100
[11:45] <jamjam> to set chromium higher priority?
[11:45] <zvacet> dury: see on http://linuxhcl.com/browse/search
[11:46] <dury> zvacet: all right really appreciate it .-)
[11:46] <dury> zvacet: :-)
[11:46] <zvacet> dury:np
[11:47] <harold> how do I kill my TTY7?
[11:47] <harold> I recall it was something like ctrl + alt + bkspc
[11:47] <harold> need to basically restart x (but tty7 is sort of being unresponsive)
[11:48] <harold> (so that means i can't just gracefully do it)
[11:48] <Bndrr> someone know this : OpenSSH 5.3p1 Debian 3ubuntu7 (protocol 2.0)
[11:48] <Bndrr> ?
[11:48] <OerHeks> harold, ctrl + alt + backspace is replaced with " ctrl + printscreen + K "
[11:48] <zvacet> harold: that command is replaced with other one but O can remember right now
[11:49] <shnatsel> OerHeks: Ctrl+Alt+PrintScreen+K
[11:50] <Bndrr> all the fingers in the keyboard, løl
[11:50] <shnatsel> OerHeks: Alt is needed because many DEs intercept Ctrl+PrintScreen+...
[11:50] <OerHeks> shnatsel, sorry, forgot the alt ?
[11:51] <OerHeks> anyway, it is not the clean way to end a session
[11:51] <Bndrr> someone know this : OpenSSH 5.3p1 Debian 3ubuntu7 (protocol 2.0)?
[11:51] <shnatsel> OerHeks: but it's reliable ;)
[11:52] <OerHeks> BNddr for precise pangolin 12.04 ?

[12:21] <ezoe> I wonder why they removed mono from 12.04. Is there a document for explaining the background?
[12:22] <physically_fit> i'm having a problem with my Wired Connection: i have to start it manually (click on its name). why is this happening? i tried to create the connection again and the issue remains. this is happening in 12.04 but maybe a general solution could help me.
[12:22] <ezoe> My guess is Mono is not free enough.
[12:22] <ikonia> physically_fit: wrong channel here too
[12:23] <MonkeyDust> ezoe  physically_fit better ask in #ubuntu+1

[12:25] <despe70> I've updated my /etc/syslog.conf - how can I now restart syslog or reload that new config?
[12:26] <GeForce88> nvclock 0.8b4-1ubuntu6 causes seg fault when attempting to use any flag except -h. is this known? and is there another program to use to adjust fan speed for an 8800 gts?
[12:26] <paulus68> are there alternate installation cd's available for servers ?
[12:27] <shnatsel> despe70: try "sudo restart syslog" or "sudo restart rsyslog"; sorry I can't test it, I don't have it installed.
[12:27] <shnatsel> GeForce88: probably a known upstream bug, Phoronix mentioned it in yesterday's benchmark
[12:28] <shnatsel> paulus68: I think all server images are alternate
[12:28] <GeForce88> shnatsel, did he mention another program? or a workaround ?
[12:28] <despe70> shnatsel: seems restart rsyyslog works. output was "rsyslog start/running, process 14029"
[12:28] <shnatsel> GeForce88: nope, just stated it's borked.
[12:28] <shnatsel> GeForce88: it was about reclocking though, not fan speed
[12:29] <GeForce88> i shall attempt to use rivatuner + wine. cheers
[12:29] <paulus68> shnatsel: the thing is I need to be able to launch a commandline so that I can launch a preseed file and this is not possible with the usual setup cd's
[12:30] <shnatsel> paulus68: well, it might be available somewhere in the installer, or maybe recovery mode... I don't remember, sorry. LiveCDs have it as boot parameter, but this is not the case. They also fall back to busybox, but I have no idea if alternate images do that.
[12:32] <despe70> I've updated my /etc/syslog.conf file, restarted syslog but it seems that the changes in my conf file are not taken into account. Any ideas ?  I have added local0.*                -/var/log/pgsql in the file, to let the postgresql messages be sent to a sepate file, but they are added to /var/log/messages
[12:37] <vexaxv> idk why i keep seeying install classic gnome ubuntu 11.10 gnome 3 comes with ubuntu 11.10
[12:38] <bazhang> !notunity | vexaxv
[12:38] <vexaxv> actually i like unity alot better, dunno why people shit talk it so much im on gnome 3 right now.
[12:38] <vexaxv> dont have to install anything lol
[12:38] <vexaxv> dang
[12:38] <bazhang> vexaxv, no cursing please
[12:39] <vexaxv> oh..sorry
[12:39] <vexaxv> :P
[12:39] <marcus> Anyone know how to remove Wine top bar, when playing Diablo II? or how to change screen size when shutting it down
[12:39] <GeForce88> yea, don't want to offend the Americans...
[12:39] <vexaxv> diabloooo 2
[12:39] <bazhang> marcus, #winehq for particular apps
[12:40] <marcus> kk, then nvm
[12:44] <jiri> hi, I've just installed Ubuntu 11.10 i386 on laptap with Radeon graphic card. I would like to use seecond monitor, but it's everytime white.. And gnome shows some strange colors.. Anyone can give me a tip for ati drivers update?
[12:46] <Shape> Hello, can anyone please point me to a link or some information on how I should set up partitions for ubuntu?
[12:46] <marcules> jiri, what does your system-info say about your graphics card?
[12:47] <iceroot> Shape: the best is to use the defaults ubuntu is suggesting
[12:47] <iceroot> Shape: everything else depends on your needs
[12:48] <Shape> iceroot: what is a lba partition for example, do I need it?
[12:48] <MonkeyDust> Shape start here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition
[12:48] <Shape> MonkeyDust: thanks!
[12:48] <jiri> marcules: driver VESA:SUMO and AMD catalyst says hd 6620 G. My graphic card is HD 6740G2
[12:49] <Benkinooby> hi is there a pdf reader that can copy mathematical expressions from pdf files?
[12:49] <iceroot> Shape: as minimum you need one partition for / and for swap, everyting else is not needed for a running system
[12:49] <Benkinooby> okular and evince do not recognize them and skipt them
[12:50] <Shape> iceroot: So how will it know how to boot? If you are using Windows as well? Which paritition do you assign for booting? The Windows one?
[12:50] <Shape> iceroot: will Grub automatically rewrite the MBR on the Win paritition?
[12:50] <iceroot> Shape: the MBR is doing the boot-part
[12:50] <marcules> Ch4rAss, I'm not sure, I haven't set up a radeon in ages
[12:50] <iceroot> Shape: yes
[12:50] <MonkeyDust> Shape  easiest is to follow the installer
[12:51] <iceroot> Shape: just use what the installer is suggesting
[12:51] <marcules> I've got a similar problem with my TP, but it resolved itself after upgrading
[12:51] <Shape> MonkeyDust: I'm using Gparted though, I couldnt shrink with the original installer
[12:51] <MonkeyDust> Shape  i missed the part about shrinking a partition
[12:52] <Ch4rAss> marcules: I will install newest drivers directly from amd.. I think
[12:52] <Shape> MonkeyDust: I didn't specify that earlier, sorry

[12:57] <MrUnagi> How can a botched fstab entry cause me to lose SSH access?
[12:58] <jrib> MrUnagi: your system doesn't boot?
[12:58] <MrUnagi> Maybe
[12:58] <MrUnagi> It's a second HD though
[12:58] <MrUnagi> I find it odd
[12:59] <fireshroom> hello can anyone give me quick hang with samba? i have a silly problem
[12:59] <MrUnagi> So how does one prevent these things from happening.......that feels like a silly question
[12:59] <MrUnagi> fireshroom: Ask away
[13:00] <banseljaj> My hard disk is failing. I want o kow if it's a false positive and if nt, can i recover from it?
[13:01] <MrUnagi> banseljaj: Could be.....I had a drive cut out all the time, reformatted it, been working ever since
[13:01] <fireshroom> I have a samba setup, everything is correct, subnet required access is allowed, the nmb and smb service are started. there is no firewall blocking, the user was added to OS and added to samba using smbpasswd -a, the share is setup in the conf, and valid user is setup.
[13:01] <meet> will cairo dock work well on lubuntu? got an old pc with low specs
[13:01] <MonkeyDust> MrUnagi  I use ssh and have two HDD on the remote PC -- you mean the remote fstab?
[13:01] <banseljaj> MrUnagi: I also don't want to format it.. I
[13:01] <MrUnagi> MonkeyDust: Yea
[13:02] <auronandace> meet: i've never used it but try it and see
[13:02] <MrUnagi> banseljaj: Well.....I hope you don't have important data on there then
[13:02] <Bndrr> I have this issue in pokerth someone know how to help ? http://i40.tinypic.com/2aj5nnk.png
[13:02] <banseljaj> MrUnagi: It's a brand new laptop. it shouldn't be happening. And I'm only concerned about the data
[13:02] <MonkeyDust> MrUnagi  then the remote fstab entry must be wrong and the second HDD is not correctly mounted
[13:02] <banseljaj> MrUnagi: It's my primary coding computer. ;-;
[13:02] <MrUnagi> MonkeyDust: But why wouldn't the primary drive boot
[13:02] <MrUnagi> banseljaj: Where is your backup
[13:03] <banseljaj> MrUnagi: Is ti possible to unmount swap while operational?
[13:03] <MrUnagi> banseljaj: Im not sure but I would guess no
[13:03] <escott> MrUnagi, swapoff
[13:03] <banseljaj> MrUnagi: No backup, for now. :\
[13:04] <jrib> banseljaj: you can turn off swap (see swapoff command)
[13:04] <escott> banseljaj, swapoff (sorry MrUnagi
[13:04] <MrUnagi> banseljaj: I'd backup, reformat, restore
[13:04] <banseljaj> hmm.
[13:04] <fireshroom> I followed just about everything posted in regards to simple and more advanced samba setups
[13:04] <escott> banseljaj, you should check the output of free -m and make sure you won't trigger an OOM condition
[13:04] <banseljaj> And what is suggested for incremental backup?
[13:04] <MonkeyDust> MrUnagi  you would need error messages to find the cause of the error, but I guess you need physciall access for that
[13:05] <MrUnagi> MonkeyDust: That's what I mean.....how do remote admins make sure they have access even if ere are issues
[13:05] <jrib> banseljaj: I like rsnapshot (see ubottu for more options)
[13:05] <jrib> !backup > banseljaj
[13:05] <meet> how do i remove it just in case auronandace
[13:05] <banseljaj> Laptop has a 2 gig RAM, escott
[13:05] <auronandace> meet: how are you installing it?
[13:06] <banseljaj> !cloning
[13:09] <ServerCrash> hi, i am trying to get audio via HDMI on NVIDIA card
[13:10] <ServerCrash> pavumeter shows all 5.1 channels audio is comming fine, but the same is not reaching to my AV
[13:10] <banseljaj> jrib, escott, MrUnagi: One more stupid question. If i colne my current HDD, and restore it back, will it fix any misalignment errors?
[13:11] <donavan1010> hey if my session is stuck in IRC and I was disconnected how can I get that username back?
[13:11] <auronandace> donavan1010: /nick yournick
[13:12] <MonkeyDust> MrUnagi  is it possible that admins have remote access to a BIOS?
[13:12] <MrUnagi> banseljaj: Likely
[13:13] <banseljaj> hmm. Thanks. :)
[13:13] <MrUnagi> MonkeyDust: I want that!
[13:13] <ric> ciao
[13:14] <auronandace> ric: greetings
[13:14] <ric> sono nuovo e ora?
[13:14] <banseljaj> donavan1010: Also, if your nick is registered, use /ghost <nick>
[13:14] <ric> can i see a film?
[13:15] <auronandace> ric: need help with ubuntu?
[13:15] <escott> banseljaj, no
[13:15] <ric> yes
[13:15] <escott> banseljaj, assuming you mean a low level dd clone
[13:16] <auronandace> ric: got the right codecs installed?
[13:16] <banseljaj> escott: I did mean a low level dd clone. Is there a way to just clone the partition table and data, without cloning the sectors?
[13:17] <meet> mostly through terminal auronandace
[13:17] <auronandace> meet: how?
[13:17] <ric> codecs installed?
[13:17] <kesara> Any workaround for zegeist-damon high processing issue?
[13:17] <auronandace> ric: how are you trying to watch a film?
[13:18] <meet> mostly through terminal auronandace
[13:18] <auronandace> meet: i asked how
[13:18] <meet> sudo -v

[13:18] <MonkeyDust> MrUnagi  on this Suse forum, it is suggested to try and access the remote boot manager using VNC, somehow
[13:18] <auronandace> meet: we don't support ppas here

[13:18] <MonkeyDust> MrUnagi  http://club.myce.com/f3/remote-desktop-allows-bios-access-223712/
[13:20] <MrUnagi> I bet I would likely need a hardware solution for my needs
[13:20] <escott> banseljaj, im not sure i follow. clone the table and data, but not the sectors. where is the data if not in sectors? Why don't you just move/resize your partititons with gparted
[13:22] <ric> il postino?
[13:25] <donavan01> banseljaj thanks
[13:25] <auronandace> !codecs | ric

[13:33] <teligard> Hi everyone
[13:34] <teligard> was wondering if anyone had insight as to why I'll have audio after 1 boot, then not have it the next.
[13:34] <auronandace> Dice-Man: odd, what network connection you using?
[13:34] <teligard> I don't know which log file to look at to even start to identify the actual problem
[13:35] <Dice-Man> auronandace: a common wired connection

[13:38] <compdoc> does anyone have the ability to wake up remote machines using WOL? What software do you use to wake them up?
[13:38] <heckman> compdoc: the wake lan command-line utility
[13:38] <Dice-Man> auronandace: i can't open orca screenreader :(
[13:39] <heckman> I believe the package is quite literally "wakeonlan"
[13:39] <auronandace> Dice-Man: can you try from the terminal: sudo apt-get install -f
[13:39] <compdoc> heckman, what package would I install?
[13:39] <heckman> Apr13 09:39 < heckman> I believe the package is quite literally "wakeonlan"

[13:43] <makezan> i have a question
[13:43] <mikislav> hello, I am on Xubuntu 12.04. Have multiple LED samsung monitor with higher reoslution as my laptop. When I go on full screen on external monitor, it set up just 1280:800 no needed 1920:1080
[13:43] <makezan> how can you see the other #ubuntu subchannels

[13:45] <Chaosadnd> Anyone else having problems with connecting network shares after the newest windows 7 updates?

[13:45] <aroman> Hi, how can I run a PHP file in my browser? Do I need to install Apache AND PHP or can I use JUST PHP?
[13:45] <Dice-Man> auronandace: well i've found the solution on lauchpad, the problem is related to accessibility problems
[13:45] <Dice-Man> gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface toolkit-accessibility false
[13:46] <fireshroom> aroman: Apache is the web server platform. Its required to render the page.
[13:46] <Dice-Man> synaptic runs now
[13:46] <auronandace> Dice-Man: i noticed that in the forums you showed me earlier too
[13:46] <makezan> !alis
[13:46] <aroman> fireshroom: PHP doesn't have the capability of serving HTTP docs itself?
[13:46] <johnfg> The install just stopped at the same place!  And there's no problem with the internet connection.
[13:47] <Chaosadnd> Anyone having a problem with samba shares on a windows 7 machine after windows 7 updates last night?
[13:47] <Dice-Man> thanks for help anyway auronandace
[13:48] <compdoc> Chaosadnd, I can still open and copy files to an ubuntu share
[13:48] <bananapie> I am using the ssh command in the console. I often get the 'remote identity has changed'. Is there a command line parameter I can pass to ssh to ignore the message and/or update the file without having to go play in .ssh/known_hosts ?
[13:48] <auronandace> Dice-Man: no worries, glad you sorted it out
[13:49] <makezan> quir
[13:49] <fireshroom> aroman: you want php to act as a webserver? I am not sure what your trying to do here
[13:51] <johnfg> bananapie, What's going on that the identity in the machine your connecting to has changed its identity?
[13:51] <johnfg> you're...
[13:51] <aroman> fireshroom: well, other scripting languages, such as ruby or python, have the ability to serve a file by themselves. So I'd just ./whatever.php and it'd serve the webpage. I was wondering if PHP could do something similar. If not, no worries, but I'd rather not run the whole of Apache if I just want to serve one single php file without a database.
[13:52] <johnfg> bananapie, The only time I get that is if the remote machine has somehow
[13:54] <fireshroom> aroman: http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php
[13:55] <aroman> fireshroom: exactly what I was looking for. thanks!

[13:55] <eddy_000> at last :D
[13:55] <notanothernuc> hi all. How would one go about applying the samba patch on an ubuntu machine that was installed with apt-get?
[13:56] <eddy_000> Can someone help me with a lamp issue ive been having for erm..... 5 hours now :D
[13:56] <eddy_000> Plase :(
[13:56] <jrib> !ask | eddy_000
[13:56] <eddy_000> !ask how to fix phpmyadmin
[13:56] <jrib> eddy_000: just ask your actual question
[13:56] <escott> bananapie, i doubt you can disable that. its the only warning that the server is not who you think it is
[13:57] <eddy_000> how to instal phpmyadmin on unbuntu
[13:57] <geekbri> i wish phpmyadmin would just cease to exist.
[13:57] <eddy_000> 11.10
[13:57] <jorhaze> you can try  ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null
[13:57] <johnfg> escott, I agree.  it's doing what it's supposed to be doing.
[13:57] <johnfg> Like if our identity was verified that we are who our nick says we are.
[13:58] <jrib> bananapie: read « man ssh_config ».  Pretty sure there's an option to disable the check...
[13:58] <jrib> bananapie: but why would you constantly be getting that message for the same server?
[13:58] <johnfg> I kinda 'solved' my problem with the server install of 11.10 by doing the manual config of Select and Install Software.
[14:01] <jrib> eddy_000: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin
[14:01] <bananapie> ever ssh to 192.168.1.1 ? a huge number of networks use this subnet
[14:02] <MonkeyDust> bananapie  192.168.1.1 is most likely your router
[14:02] <bananapie> Yes
[14:02] <jrib> bananapie: so turn it off for 192.168.1.1
[14:02] <tooner> not sure if this is the best place to ask but hopefully someone can help.. ive cloned a failing raid5 ntfs array using clonezilla and crc failed but im hoping i can recover something.. im trying now to get it in a format where i can read the files.. any suggestions?
[14:02] <bananapie> ok
[14:03] <meet> how to setup a network between to ubuntu computer?
[14:03] <bazhang> tooner, perhaps #clonezilla
[14:03] <tooner> worth a try :)
[14:03] <MonkeyDust> bananapie  if ssh to 192.168.1.1 says the identity has changed, maybe it's because it got new WAN ip address from your ISP
[14:04] <MonkeyDust> meet  ssh is very easy
[14:05] <meet> MonkeyDust
[14:05] <meet> could u please explain?
[14:06] <MonkeyDust> meet  install ssh on both pc's, then, in a terminal, type ssh [remote user]@[remote ip address]
[14:06] <meet> so no new software or setup is required?
[14:06] <johnfg> Ok, looks like the install succeeded and it has rebooted and I'm logged into the server.
[14:07] <johnfg> From the server, since it's cli at this point, how can I see what desktops are available?
[14:07] <escott> meet, you have to install openssh-server on the server, but the server automatically starts
[14:08] <meet> i want to creat a home network as in windows. is this what itt is escott?
[14:08] <escott> johnfg, if you ran ssh -X you can just start the gui apps as needed
[14:08] <MonkeyDust> idd
[14:08] <escott> meet, if you want to share files with windows computers use samba
[14:09] <killer> can anyone suggest me a goodd irc channel for security
[14:09] <bazhang> killer, ##security
[14:09] <auronandace> !alis | killer
[14:09] <mcb_> escott: Have you looked in "man 5 ssh_config". I think "ssh -o CheckHostIP=no <host>"  should do as you like.
[14:09] <johnfg> escott, right.  I
[14:09] <killer> bazhang : i went there but no body's seems to be online there
[14:10] <johnfg> I'm just lookin at the sources.list.  Is it recommended to uncomment the Canonicaland the extras repos?
[14:10] <escott> mcb_, i think bananapie wanted to disable it. i was discouraging his doing so
[14:11] <mcb_> escott: Agrees with you. But it can be done.
[14:11] <auronandace> johnfg: recommended in what sense? that you don't want to recieve updates?
[14:15] <auronandace> johnfg: sorry, misread your question, i thought you said comment (not uncomment)
[14:16] <johnfg> auronandace, I'm comin from debian squeeze and wondered about those repos.
[14:17] <auronandace> johnfg: can you paste your sources.list
[14:17] <eddy_000> Error when installing phpmyadmin: "missing destination file operant after `phpmyadmin`
[14:18] <johnfg> auronandace, I can, but it's the standard after a fresh install.
[14:18] <johnfg> auronandace, Still want I should paste it?
[14:19] <auronandace> johnfg: yes please

[14:26] <Dudemister1999> Why are peoples names turning red? :3
[14:27] <wylde> !ot | Dudemister1999
[14:27] <Dudemister1999> Okay, but the red is kinda wierd
[14:28] <notanothernuc> does anyone know where I can find an edgy repo?
[14:28]  * notanothernuc ducks

[14:28] <jrib> notanothernuc: see the eol upgrade page
[14:29] <johnfg> auronandace, Sorry, had to go out and feed the hosses :-)
[14:29] <Agger> hi all...where can i download the sources for the PLANK docking panel, if indeed available. I'd like to build these sources myslef?
[14:29] <MonkeyDust> notanothernuc  http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[14:29] <jeroenpraat> I just bought a new PC. I like to install (as before) Ubuntu now. Should I install 12.04 beta2 or 11.10 and in 2 weeks 12.04 final???
[14:30] <mkultra_> id do beta and test garbage 4 them
[14:30] <jrib> Agger: is it packaged in ubuntu?
[14:30] <mkultra_> make a good partition scheme where you can easily wipe the os and have storage on another drive
[14:30] <Agger> err it can be retrieved via apt
[14:30] <jrib> Agger: I'm going to take that as a yes...
[14:30] <jrib> !source | Agger
[14:31] <jrib> Agger: make sure you have deb-src lines uncommented in /etc/apt/sources.list (or use software manager to enable source repositories)
[14:31] <Agger> interesting thanks...checking out
[14:31] <mkultra_> i apt-getted synaptic and let synaptic deal with packaging
[14:32] <johnfg> Someone asked a question earlier about samba...I note that on my debian squeeze server there are 9 updates to samba and friends.
[14:33] <escott> johnfg, which you should apply
[14:33] <johnfg> auronandace, It will be a minute.  Oops...I just installed gdm by accident instead of gpm.
[14:33] <johnfg> escott, Of course, installing now, but thanks.
[14:34] <johnfg> escott, Did those show up for ubuntu server too?
[14:35] <Marzata> in distrowatch mint goes up, unity goes down...
[14:35] <icemandna> I switched to Mint and feel so much better using it
[14:36] <dddyyyyyyyy> is there a good Usenet client on ubuntu ?
[14:36] <sipior> dddyyyyyyyy: pan's all right.
[14:36] <cristian_c> Hi
[14:37] <jeroenpraat> [Bump] I just bought a new PC. I like to install (as before) Ubuntu now. Should I install 12.04 beta2 or 11.10 and in 2 weeks 12.04 final???
[14:37] <escott> johnfg, yes they are showing up everywhere. remote root security issue in samba
[14:37] <dddyyyyyyyy> sipior: en
[14:37] <notanothernuc> I asked the samba question. I've got an old edgy server which im rebuilding but it needs the latest security patch until the replacement server is ready. As edgy's not getting updates, I have to do it myself
[14:37] <cristian_c> I would like to set the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf correctly
[14:37] <cristian_c> to configure the touchpad gestures
[14:38] <MonkeyDust> jeroenpraat  precise is in the Final Freeze stadium, so i guess it's stable enough
[14:38] <icemandna> jeroenpraat: I'd install 11.10 and wait for the final. Too many issues are sorted out in the early days that the new version comes out
[14:38] <cristian_c> I would like to set the pinch, the drag, the circular scrolling and tap with two fingers or more
[14:38] <cristian_c> any suggestions?
[14:38] <jeroenpraat> Thank you MonkeyDust
[14:38] <cristian_c> I can also post the current contents of synaptics.conf
[14:39] <MonkeyDust> jeroenpraat  gee dank graag gedaan :p
[14:39] <jeroenpraat> icemandna: I'm quit technical, so issues can be fixed. It's more like: is it stable enough for daily use?
[14:40] <makezan> zs
[14:40] <cryptothesly> jeroenpraat, Been using 12.04 here since mid-Jan as a daily use and had no show-stopping problems. Your mileage may vary of course :)
[14:41] <icemandna> I haven't had much fun installing 'brand new' versions myself and I'm quite technical too. Just want to keep up with my interests and not have to deal with sorting out new release issues
[14:42] <jorhaze> I have a segmentation fault in a strace of apache2 on 11.10 while making a soap call with nusoap - how do I go about posting this as a bug?

[14:46] <Onkeltem> Hi all. I'm going to purchase a video card to connect 3 monitors. Can anybody recommend a good card for this?
[14:46] <cristian_c> jorhaze, it's not difficult
[14:47] <auronandace> jorhaze: worth the effort if you want to improve ubuntu
[14:48] <jorhaze> I'll give it a go

[14:52] <dddyyyyyyyy> sipior: could you tell me a server address of usenet ,i open Pan
[14:53] <roasted> Random Question - Is HUD from Ubuntu open source? Is HUD dependent upon Unity to function? I'm curious what other distros could pick up HUD... any insight?
[14:54] <eddy_000> Can someone help, My server wont install PHPMYADMIN, I searched for it and it just doesnt exist
[14:55] <MonkeyDust> roasted  HUD is a Unity feature
[14:56] <roasted> MonkeyDust: I see. Well Unity is open source no? I assume HUD is too?
[14:56] <LjL> roasted: sure
[14:56] <MonkeyDust> roasted  Unity = Gnome3 + Compiz
[14:57] <eddy_000> None know my answer :S
[14:57] <mneptok> !info phpmyadmin
[14:57] <Timmy> how can i configure package manager to keep downloaded packages under /var/cache/apt/archive? i mean after a while it removes them but i want to keep all of them
[14:57] <johnfg> On another note...I see that using lvm2 for disk partitioning in server 11.10, that the default was still to use ext2 for /boot.
[14:57] <johnfg> Shouldn't grub be able to handle ext4?
[14:57] <mneptok> eddy_000: there's the package right there in the universe repo
[14:58] <jorhaze> eddy do: "dpkg -l|grep phpmyadmin" to see if it is installed
[14:58] <johnfg> for boot, i.e.?
[14:58] <escott> johnfg, ext4 has not real advantages for a small infrequently used partition like /boot
[14:58] <auronandace> johnfg: sure, but /boot is meant to be small and doesn't really need journal support so ext2 is a good choice
[14:59] <eddy_000> jorhaze :  says need an aciton option :S
[15:00] <jorhaze> you forgot the lowercase L
[15:00] <johnfg> Ok, just wondered.  Had no problems with it, and on 3 debian machines, 2 squeeze are ext3 and a lenny ext3 for /boot.
[15:01] <johnfg> Since I installed gdm 'by mistake', is it gnome3?
[15:02] <johnfg> It's still going, so I can't tell yet.
[15:02] <auronandace> johnfg: what do you mean?
[15:02] <escott> johnfg, it has been ported to gtk3 but it is not "gnome3"
[15:02] <MonkeyDust> johnfg  gnome3 uses lightdm
[15:02] <freko28> Hi all, how can I add a PAT rule on ubuntu to forward the tcp port 6000 on the tcp port 8080?
[15:03] <johnfg> So, it's gnome 2?
[15:03] <escott> johnfg, saying a gdm is gnome3 is comparable to saying a ford truck is exxon gasoline
[15:03] <auronandace> johnfg: you need to explain what you mean
[15:03] <auronandace> johnfg: gdm is just a login manager, lightdm is default from 11.10 onwards
[15:04] <johnfg> So are you saying that the gnome desktop manager may not be the same version as the gnome desktop?
[15:04] <escott> johnfg, you can use kdm with gnome if you want
[15:04] <johnfg> auronandace, Ok, I think I see what you mean.
[15:05] <johnfg> So, now that I've got gdm almost installed, I suppose I have to install a desktop?  Or will lightdm be already installed, by default?
[15:05] <auronandace> johnfg: what are you using? the minimal iso or default ubuntu?
[15:06] <escott> johnfg, by installing gdm you have probably disabled/removed lightdm
[15:06] <Ricaz> anyone have any experience using a wifi Epson printer on ubuntu?
[15:07] <johnfg> I installed from ubuntu-11.10-server-i386.iso
[15:07] <mneptok> Ricaz: does openprinting.org say that the device actually has Linux support?
[15:07] <johnfg> escott, Just a sec...did you mean how did I install server or how did I install gdm?
[15:08] <Ricaz> i.. don't know, mneptok. But I found some drivers on their website
[15:08] <mneptok> Ricaz: check openprinting first
[15:08] <realus> when in nexuiz, and want minimize to do something else ??
[15:08] <MonkeyDust> johnfg  i guess server is for more experienced users
[15:09] <auronandace> johnfg: the server iso doesn't come with a gui by default so by installing gdm you may have triggered the install of xorg and maybe gnome3
[15:09] <johnfg> MonkeyDust, I'm experienced with debian and the redhat clones, but wanted to give ubuntu server a try.
[15:09] <escott> johnfg, auronandace is asking what disc you were using. some disks like minimal or server do not include the ubuntu-desktop package which installs a gui, some like the standard disc do
[15:09] <mneptok> johnfg: you have yet to explain why you're installing a display manager *at all*
[15:10] <escott> johnfg, i was saying that since you installed gdm, your lightdm installation (if it existed) would be disabled since you need only one DM
[15:10] <sub|work> bye
[15:11] <MonkeyDust> johnfg  server is not supposed to be used with a GUI, it's only optional
[15:11] <Ricaz> mneptok: This is the printer: http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Epson/Epson-SX235_Series
[15:11] <johnfg> mneptok, Actually, you may not have seen that I did it by mistake.  I was gonna copy & paste from the cli with gpm, but noted the mouse wasn't active.  Then, by mistake, I did apt-get install gdm, instead of gpm.  Get it?
[15:12] <mneptok> johnfg: so purge the package once it's installed.
[15:12] <Ricaz> mneptok: the problem is, there was no USB cable with the printer
[15:12] <johnfg> I know I could have just copied or read into pastezone by sources.list
[15:12] <mneptok> Ricaz: so download the driver OpenPrinting recommends and install the package.
[15:13] <johnfg> mneptok, ya,already thought of doing that.

[15:17] <A_I_> hi there
[15:17] <A_I_> any idea about :     │ ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)                                                                                                                 │
[15:17] <A_I_> this happens during installation of "cacti"
[15:18] <A_I_> I have set a password for root on mysql server
[15:18] <A_I_> so now package won't install
[15:18] <A_I_> any suggestion ?
[15:19] <MonkeyDust> !enter| A_I_
[15:19] <A_I_> ubottu no pb
[15:19] <A_I_> MonkeyDust no pb :-)
[15:20] <A_I_> when I install cacti I get an error : "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)", is there any way to give root's password via a file or so ?
[15:22] <johnfg> My guess was right.  After reboot I'm in gdm, but it's looking for session ubuntu, which I don't have (or any other).
[15:23] <A_I_> any idea ?

[16:20] <jpds> MonkeyDust: Err, that's not true.
[16:20] <MonkeyDust> jbs  gnome2 is no longer maintained or upgraded
[16:20] <zykotick9> jbs: gnome2 is dead (development wise).  xfce is popular alternative.
[16:20] <mneptok> jbs: not a long-term viable approach. GNOME2 is disappearing across distros.
[16:20] <jpds> MonkeyDust: Unity and GNOME 3 are two completely different projects.
[16:21] <jbs> ok i don't care about support. i just want gnome2
[16:21] <jbs> how do i do that
[16:21] <cortman> Hi Nava_ open a terminal and type synclient
[16:21] <jpds> jbs: Install 10.04.
[16:21] <paulus68> MonkeyDust: well I am familiar with that however I want to use a preseed file and the example sais that I have to use the server installation cd and as soon as the language prompt has come up you hit F6 and proceed from there
[16:21] <Nava_> Ok. doing it now
[16:21] <jpds> jbs: But you'll have to move on at some point in the future, as noone maintains GNOME 2 code.
[16:21] <cortman> Nava_, does it return an error or give you a list of synclient commands?
[16:21] <mneptok> jbs: what do you do next year when not a single distro offers GNOME2?
[16:21] <jbs> i thought open source was supposed to be about choice?
[16:22] <zykotick9> jbs: use 10.04 if you need gnome2 over all else
[16:22] <jpds> jbs: That has nothing to do with it.
[16:22] <mneptok> jbs: it is. start maintaining GNOME2. no one is stopping you.
[16:22] <green_nine> hello
[16:23] <mneptok> jbs: and there are more choices than something deprecated. try XFCE like zykotick9 suggested.
[16:23] <green_nine> anyone plays minecraft?
[16:23] <mneptok> !away > n7
[16:24] <family> can someone take a quick look as this instll compile, why does it not work as the readme says.. http://imagebin.org/207881
[16:24] <Nava_> k, back. Couldn't find synaptic properties. Nos synaptics driver loaded
[16:25] <jpds> family: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
[16:25] <jpds> family: Is probably what you need.
[16:26] <oslinux23> helo
[16:26] <GirlyGirl> Is there any application that can provide me an offline dictionarry and thesaurus?
[16:26] <aggrav8d> hi, ubuntu.  I'm getting a LOT of error emails about "unable to load mhash.so".  I found some google docs about deleting /etc/php5/conf.d/mhash.ini.  it didn't help.
[16:26] <zykotick9> family: what device is this it9135 for?  specifically, usb or some card?
[16:26] <aggrav8d> any ideas, please?
[16:26] <jpds> GirlyGirl: aspell is installed by default?
[16:26] <jbs> aggrav8d, they'll just tell you to use python or something here
[16:27] <cortman> Nava_, run sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
[16:27] <family> zykotick9: TV Card
[16:27] <jpds> jbs: Hi, please be constructive.
[16:27] <aggrav8d> jbs - not really applicable.
[16:27] <jbs> i asked about gnome2 and just got nonsense
[16:27] <family> zykotick9: USB TV Card
[16:27] <GirlyGirl> jpds: Referring to definitions here
[16:27] <GirlyGirl> jpds: Not spellcheck support
[16:27] <aggrav8d> jbs - well did you sweet talk them first by saying thank you for all the great advice with the last problem you had?
[16:27] <Nava_> ok
[16:27] <zykotick9> family: USB :(  i can't help - good luck.
[16:27] <oslinux23> I have many many scanned pages that have black borders and I want to remove those. I found that unpaper can make that really easy
[16:27] <aggrav8d> a pinch of sugar helps the medicine go down.
[16:27] <family> zykotick9: USB TV Card
[16:28] <family> zykotick9: Thanks anyway..
[16:28] <jbrks> family, probably it's an old driver source, you have anything more recent?
[16:28] <family> jpds: i think it worked.
[16:29] <jpds> family: Cool.
[16:29] <oslinux23> but I am unable to do that
[16:29] <paulus68> I want to load a preseed file  before installing my server however I am not able to get into cli how do I achieve this? with an alternate install cd or is there another solution?
[16:29] <wylde> GirlyGirl: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/928161/ <-- for the output of apt-cache search english dictionary.
[16:29] <mneptok> aggrav8d: is PHP supposed to provide the mhash stuff you need?
[16:29] <zykotick9> paulus68: are you doing some multi-install roll out or something?  why use preseed?
[16:29] <oslinux23> I get the same output with the input file
[16:29] <family> jpds: well now thats done. no error's do i need to install or did it do that as well
[16:29] <cortman> Nava_, if/when you post back, type cortm+TAB to address your post to me, otherwise I'll miss it.
[16:30] <aggrav8d> mneptok - i understand mhash has been integrated into the latest php so the external mhash is no longer needed.  unfortunately something still refers to it somewhere in the code, so when I ran apt-upgrade it kinda broke and now I get 20 emails a minute about a cron() task I can't even find.
[16:30] <Nava_> got it
[16:30] <jpds> family: Carry on with the instructions.
[16:30] <aggrav8d> "PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/mhash.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/mhash.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0"
[16:31] <mneptok> aggrav8d: see if installing the libmhash2 package helps.
[16:31] <mneptok> aggrav8d: PHP is calling a shared object that does not exist.
[16:32] <family> jpds: well the next bit says to check /var/log/messages for errors.
[16:32] <Nava_> cortman: Processing was halted because there were too many errors. E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg retured an error code(1)
[16:32] <family> jpds: that file does not exist.
[16:32] <cortman> Nava_, do you have an ubuntu forums account?
[16:32] <jbrks> family, where did you download the source code?
[16:32] <mneptok> aggrav8d: and seeing that PHP is looking within its own directory structure for it, it seems to be solely an issue with PHP.
[16:32] <oslinux23> :-/
[16:32] <family> jpds: came on the cd with device.
[16:32] <Nava_> yea
[16:33] <Nava_> cortman: yes i do
[16:33] <family> jbrks: came on cd with device
[16:33] <cortman> Nava_, start a thread and give me a link. Sounds like some other issues besides just touchpad.
[16:33] <renard-> Can't copy-paste between monitors in a dual-screen setup (single X) with 11.10/Unity, anybody knows why?
[16:33] <oslinux23> Who can help me this unpaper or pnm crop ?
[16:34] <aggrav8d> mneptok - libmhash2 already installed at latest version
[16:34] <mneptok> cortman: referring people to the forums renders IRC moot, no?
[16:34] <zykotick9> renard-: can you drag windows from one to the other?
[16:34] <renard-> zykotick9, yes
[16:34] <zykotick9> renard-: weird.  no idea.  good luck.
[16:34] <mneptok> aggrav8d: i'd ask around PHP places instead of Ubuntu places.
[16:34] <aggrav8d> mneptok -  i'll ask php and see what they say.
[16:34] <aggrav8d> thanks.
[16:34] <paulus68> zykotick9: Well I want to experiment with it and that's why I want to find out if this is what I want, might also be usefull for desktop installs
[16:34] <cortman> mneptok, not at all. It appears this problem may be a little involved to just solve over IRC- I'll need command ouputs and othe rinfo.
[16:34] <Nava_> cortman: yea, most likely. these things  always seem to happen after upgrades
[16:34] <jbrks> family, it's old source code, i see other people mention it on forums.. try using the latest source code..
[16:35] <mneptok> cortman: it does not mean others cannot help.
[16:35] <jpds> family: /var/log/dmesg
[16:35] <renard-> Tried some clipboard software such as Glippy, but Unity integration is broken
[16:35] <jbrks> family, btw, what's the device id from lspci or lsusb ?
[16:35] <nothingspecial> mneptok: Nope, we encourage forum users to try irc
[16:35] <paulus68> zykotick9: might also be tempted to create a pxe server although I am not certain if this can be installed on my current server
[16:35] <realus> free vpn service providers ??
[16:35] <cortman> mneptok, If you can solve it right now over IRC, you're more than welcome to! :)
[16:35] <zykotick9> paulus68: :) i've need reading the preseed documentation (looks pretty cool actually).  I'm going to play with it someday for sure (would make my installs REALLY fast to deploy).  Best of luck.
[16:36] <family> jbrks: lsusb it's shown
[16:36] <paulus68> zykotick9: thx do you have any Idea how to launch the 11.10 server cd into cli?
[16:36] <realus> Found one: https://www.vpnreactor.com/linux_openvpn.html
[16:37] <oCean> realus: this channel is for ubuntu technical support only
[16:37] <family> jpds: i stared again and the same error as in jpg was displayed
[16:37] <zykotick9> paulus68: you could boot the iso from grub2 perhaps.  you can't really "launch" the install.
[16:37] <jbrks> family, i'm guessing you mean 048d:9135 shows..
[16:37] <zykotick9> paulus68: the tasksel suggestions are as close to the installer as you
[16:37] <zykotick9> 'll probably get
[16:38] <oslinux23> @oCean is there anyone who can help me with this http://unpaper.berlios.de/#overview ?
[16:38] <family> jbrks:ID 048d:9005 Integrated Technology Express, Inc.
[16:38] <mneptok> cortman: i would, except there is no record of any original question.
[16:38] <paulus68> zykotick9: fair enough but why do they suggest the unattended setup? or does the alternate cd containst the required images to install the server from
[16:39] <jbrks> oslinux23, ocr stuff.. good luck
[16:39] <oCean> oslinux23: I have no idea what your issue is. To be sure, describe it detailed in single line here in the channel
[16:39] <oslinux23> I have a many pages that have black borders
[16:39] <oslinux23> I want to crop those
[16:39] <zykotick9> paulus68: you might try the mini install (it might have preseed in the advanced options) [warning! pure speculation]
[16:39] <family> jbrks:can you see newer drivers?
[16:39] <zykotick9> !mini | paulus68
[16:40] <Aethelred> I upgraded to Lucid (10.04) yesterday. I'm having video problems. The desktop launches fine, but I'm getting very slow and quirky behaviour. Compiz and workspaces and animations etc. all worked fine before. Is there someone here who can help me find the problem if I describe symptoms?
[16:40] <cortman> mneptok, right. That's because I redirected Nava from the forums social channel, and said I'd help them out.
[16:40] <mneptok> cortman: you cannot get help with a question you never ask.
[16:40] <paulus68> zykotick9: only for desktop installs thanks anyway
[16:41] <zykotick9> Aethelred: 2 questions.  1) what did you upgrade from?  2) what video card?  "lspci | grep -i vga" if not sure.
[16:41] <zykotick9> paulus68: what's only for desktop installs?
[16:41] <jbrks> family, it says it's supported but from kernel 3.2 ( http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices/Full )
[16:41] <jbrks> family, scratch that..
[16:41] <zykotick9> paulus68: mini isn't!  it's got everything available in it's tasksel (server, ubuntu, kubuntu, edubuntu, etc)
[16:42] <oslinux23> @oCean should I always tag specific people here in order to communicate ? :P
[16:42] <Aethelred> zykotick9: (1) from Karmic (9.10)  (2) Nvidia 8800GTS
[16:42] <family> jbrks: is it supported then?
[16:43] <jbrks> family, i dont see the deviceid mentioned on that page, but someone on a forum referred to that post with your device, and tried the latest kernel with it..
[16:43] <cortman> mneptok, sigh. Do I have to say "I was wrong, you were right" for everyone to be happy again? :S
[16:43] <jbrks> family, try kernel of at least 3.2.xx
[16:43] <mneptok> cortman: no, but my PayPal address is .... ;)
[16:43] <Aethelred> zykotick9: I was running Nvidia's driver before. It seems to still be used.
[16:43] <cortman> mneptok, I promise I won't spam the channel with redirects to the forums. :)
[16:43] <zykotick9> Aethelred: by nvidia's driver do you mean from nvidia.com?
[16:43] <oCean> oslinux23: no need, just state your question, here in the channel. Someone who can help, will likely reply :)
[16:44] <family> jbrks: umm that might be too advaned for me.
[16:44] <jbrks> family, this means you don't use need to use any other source code.. because the usbtv sourcecode should already be with the kernel3.2.xx
[16:44] <oslinux23> @oCean
[16:44] <Aethelred> zykotick9: Yes.
[16:44] <oslinux23> @oCean thanks
[16:44] <jbrks> family, it may already be in your repos.. did u try apt-upgrading, or using the latest ubuntu?
[16:44] <family> jbrks: easy to change kernal?
[16:44] <zykotick9> Aethelred: too bad.  I can't help then - good luck.
[16:45] <family> 11.10
[16:45] <jbrks> family, kernels dont always replace, apt might add an option to the grub menu..
[16:45] <aggrav8d> mneptok - how do i purge a package?  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=593266  suggests that purging the package will make the mhash error go away.
[16:45] <jbrks> family, oh.. so perhaps you may be on kernel3.0xx already..
[16:45] <family> jbrks: ok, i will google it and come back if needed.
[16:46] <family> jbrks: thanks
[16:46] <Aethelred> zykotick9: Is there something wrong with that driver?  ... or do you just not help with proprietary stuff?
[16:46] <jbrks> family, you'd need at least 3.2.xx
[16:46] <zykotick9> aggrav8d: "sudo apt-get purge foo"
[16:46] <mado> hello everyone :)
[16:46] <Aethelred> zykotick9: Could you suggest an alternative?
[16:46] <oslinux23> I have many pnm scanned pages and they have black borders. I want to crop those. It seems that unpaper can help me, but I havent figure out how to do that. Any suggestions ?
[16:46] <GirlyGirl> wylde: Nevermind, kthesaurus does what I need
[16:46] <wylde> GirlyGirl: alrighty.
[16:48] <zykotick9> Aethelred: :) i was going to make an exception to my upgrade issues run for you (because it's lucid).  AND i have used that exact same model nvidia 8800 since lucid in my machine!  BUT, as soon as an nvidia.com driver has been installed on a system - i won't touch that system, i consider installing a 3rd party driver like that a "sin" sorry.
[16:48] <mado> I don't know if this sounds strange, weird in your ears but i was wondering ... ... ... Can you tell me, show me, help me find one, suggest one, etc ... a new desktop pc ... for playing games (some on ms windows ... some i will try on ubuntu) , office-work, internet and such stuff?
[16:49] <Aethelred> zykotick9: Well I won't condemn a person for their religious beliefs. Perhaps you know of someone else who might offer assistance?
[16:49] <MonkeyDust> mado  better ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:49] <johnfg> hi again folks
[16:49] <mado> thank you MonkeyDust :)
[16:49] <johnfg> Had to get to the office.  So, I'm at a root prompt in the server, and gdm is installed, but no session.
[16:50] <zykotick9> Aethelred: wait a little while, then restate your issue with as much details as possible to the channel.  good luck man.
[16:50] <johnfg> If I want a gui desktop, what's a good one to install?
[16:50] <Nava_> cortman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11841381#post11841381
[16:50] <mado> i'd say it depends on what you'd like johnfg
[16:51] <MonkeyDust> johnfg  a lot of people have just entered while you were away, repeat your question from the beginning, what you did and tried etc
[16:51] <johnfg> mado, Since I can't see what's available, and I'm used to gnome2 & 3, xfce, what's recommended?
[16:51] <CQ> johnfg: sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback ... gets you teh plain gnome3 desktop
[16:51] <mado> hmmm ... under ubuntu ... many are available as far as i know (last time i was playing around a bit with LXDE :) )
[16:52] <johnfg> MonkeyDust, ok, I mistakenly installed gdm in a fresh install of server 11.10.  I had meant to install mouse support, i.e., gpm.
[16:52] <Aethelred> zykotick9: Thank you.
[16:52] <mado> in a few days i will take a look on gnome3
[16:52] <johnfg> mado, Can you tell me the pkg name for lxde?
[16:53] <wylde> !info lxde
[16:53] <johnfg> Yeah, just lxde didn't work.
[16:53] <mado> maybe it's lubuntu-desktop? *thinking*
[16:54] <mado> it's been a while ... and i'm currently on this windoze-laptop :(
[16:54] <wylde> mado: I think you're right.
[16:54] <mado> sudo apt-cache search <>
[16:54] <blitz> how do I add cp437 encoding to my terminal? I don't see it in the available encodings list
[16:54] <mado> i'd use that johnfg
[16:54] <wylde> !info lubuntu-desktop
[16:55] <zykotick9> mado: fyi you don't need sudo for apt-cache (save some typing)
[16:55] <mado> zykotick9, thank you :) ... didn't know that for sure ... you see ... i'm just a beginner with computers and all that :)
[16:56] <johnfg> And now, when I boot in recovery mode, the net's not configured, so I can't install it.
[16:57] <zykotick9> mado: don't use sudo unless you need to.  BUT, apt-cache is tricky ;)  many advanced users use sudo for it.
[16:57] <wylde> mado: it's best to try first if not sure without sudo. Using sudo when not needed can cause issues with your system, eg. typos with root permissions can have nasty side effects. :)
[16:57] <johnfg> mado, But you were thinking that the name of the pkg was lubuntu-desktop?
[16:58] <irchelp> hi
[16:58] <mado> yes i thought so johnfg
[16:58] <zykotick9> johnfg: the lubuntu-desktop package will contain more packages then the xfce package (will lead to duplications of some apps, which you may or maynot want?)
[16:58] <mado> wylde, and zykotick9 ... thank you for that info :)
[17:01] <johnfg> zykotick9, You know what the package is for xfce?
[17:01] <zykotick9> johnfg: xfce4 probably
[17:01] <zykotick9> !info xfce4
[17:02] <Bndrr> someone can help me to install Lineage 2 in ubuntu please ?¿
[17:02] <johnfg> Ok, I'm removing gdm and will then see about installing the xfce4 after a clean boot.
[17:02] <johnfg> I assume if lightdm isn't installed that the xfce4 will grab it?
[17:03] <zykotick9> johnfg: probably not.  manually install lightdm will probably be required.
[17:03] <zykotick9> johnfg: or startx ;)
[17:04] <johnfg> startx probably have less overhead?
[17:04] <zykotick9> johnfg: sure does.  do you have wireless on this system?
[17:04] <johnfg> yes.
[17:05] <zykotick9> johnfg: you'll probably need gdm/lightdm then :(
[17:05] <family> jbrks:do you know of any software to test tv card in linux?
[17:06] <Aethelred> zykotick9: I'm (slowly) delving in to this and it seems my driver is part of the Ubuntu repos. It's in Synaptic, with the little ubuntu symbol and everything:  nvidia-current   195.36.24-0ubuntu1~10.04.2
[17:06] <Aethelred> zykotick9: Can we go on a date now?   :)
[17:08] <zykotick9> Aethelred: nope sorry.  the issue i have is there is no way to be sure the nvidia.com driver didn't change something on the system - and the system is unable to remove said changes.  so, as soon as that nvidia.com driver gets install, i consider it a compromised/unstable system.  sorry man.  but best of luck!  try reinstall the driver from "additional drivers" or whatever and reboot.
[17:08] <aggrav8d> zykotick9 - thanks for the purge tip.  worked great!  sudo dpkg -P php5-mhash  fixed the 2500 error emails I got in the last 10 minutes.
[17:08] <Bndrr> how can I see my memory with terminal ?? i need the command
[17:09] <mneptok> Bndrr: free -m
[17:09] <Bndrr> thx.
[17:09] <veinos> Anyone knows how to set up different wall paper on dual monitor setup/ 4 virtual desktop setup ? I'm using ubuntu 12.04
[17:10] <veinos> I've seen a video where that seemed possible, is it implemented yet?
[17:10] <zykotick9> veinos: reask in #ubuntu+1
[17:10] <Aethelred> zykotick9: Ok.
[17:10] <veinos> already did :) but its dead there for now, so i tried my luck here
[17:11] <veinos> being googling for hours trying to find any info on that
[17:11] <zykotick9> veinos: by choosing to run 12.04 now, you "choose" not to get support here :|  downside of beta ;)
[17:11] <veinos> hehe fair enough
[17:11] <family> anyone know of any software to test tv card in linux?
[17:11] <veinos> but then, it isn't possible in 11.x  right?
[17:12] <veinos> family, I've seen some nvidia apps in the software center for the tv tuner, if that's the brand u use
[17:14] <jbrks> can someone test the wan side of my network?
[17:16] <zykotick9> veinos: (you need to check what dependencies this will install!  if it's all of mythtv then i'd suggest NOT doing it!) you could try installing mythbuntu-control-centre for a GUI tool to setting up TV cards.
[17:16] <zykotick9> family: ^^
[17:16] <wad> I need to run a command when I shutdown my machine. Is there a way to set up a shellscript that will be run when I press the power button? I've got my laptop configured so that pressing the power button shuts down.
[17:17] <wad> (I've got a headless VirtualBox linux image that sometimes runs, and I'd like it to cleanly exit when I tell my laptop to power down.)
[17:17] <zykotick9> wad: MAN i wish VBox had better integration for that!
[17:18] <wad> zykotick9, yeah. I've got a little script that I run, "vmoff", that just ssh's in and does "sudo init 0". I figure I can just run that, sleep for a few seconds, and it will be good.

[17:19] <xsl> is it ok to install basket in unity ?
[17:19] <veinos> _255, you either have to hit some key at bootup (F8 on my asus motherboard) to select the booting device
[17:20] <veinos> or to enter bios and set your primary booting device in there
[17:22] <pipipo> hi, anyone knows what can draw on top of the desktop with transparency, like it does when dragging a window to the sides?

[17:25] <compdoc> you can copy it to a usb flash drive. would that work?
[17:25] <Flying> compdoc, what do you mean?
[17:26] <compdoc> put the installer on a usb stick
[17:26] <Flying> how does that make it bootable?
[17:26] <compdoc> thats what I was asking - can you boot from a flash drive?

[17:27] <Flying> no because my computer's bios only support USB-FDD. Pendrivelinux says it doesn't support USB-FDD
[17:27] <francesco_> !list
[17:28] <Kanerix> Flying: is there a USB-HDD option?
[17:29] <Flying> Kanerix, no there isn't. The computer I have is an HP Pavilion 304w, it's really old.
[17:29] <Kanerix> I don't memorize computer models and their BIOS setups, believe it or not
[17:29] <Flying> Kanerix, I am also unable to download an update because I can't get into any OS
[17:29] <compdoc> sometimes, there are bios updates that add features
[17:29] <johnfg> I'm bugged.  I installed lightdm and xfce4 with no errors.  However, even thought I'm seeing the lightdm at login, and with me as a user, after entering my password I still get the error, Failed to load session ubuntu :-(
[17:30] <johnfg> What am I missing?
[17:30] <Kanerix> Flying, often times there's an option that says something along the lines of "Allow booting of other devices"
[17:30] <Flying> Kanerix, I don' expect for you to memorize it in the least bit. I was just giving you information in case it would help.
[17:30] <Kanerix> then you can disable your hard drives and let it try to boot
[17:31] <Kanerix> In the end, there's no way to compensate for a BIOS that can't boot the device that you're trying to
[17:31] <lmsens> yo
[17:31] <despe70> I'm using rsyslog to log my messages. I've just added a rule to catch those of postgresql to be logged to a separate file. Works fine, but all messages are logged twice now, once in the file and once in the /var/log/messages ... how can I prevent that?
[17:31] <lmsens> why does ubuntu loses touchad
[17:31] <lmsens> psmouse serio1: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 2 bytes away.
[17:31] <Flying> what I did was enter the bios and the boot order to all USB, and it didn't detect it. then I tried the same with CD-ROM which didn't work, so I'm like damnnit
[17:32] <lmsens> I want my bytes back
[17:32] <andre_pl> I'm trying to install 12.04 beta 2. I've done 2 clean installs, and both times I end with a login screen that wraps horribly across my 2 monitors, and then just hangs there with nothing but a wallpaper after I try to log in
[17:32] <StepNjump> my mouse is connected on a USB router, since a few days, I keep having to unplug it and then replug it in a different port in order to revive my mouse. Any idea why this happens?
[17:32] <andre_pl> the live environment is awesome, works perfectly, but as soon as I do first boot its just screwed
[17:32] <Kanerix> Flying, that's not what I'm saying
[17:33] <StepNjump> even an application no longer runs. This is very weird...
[17:33] <Flying> I understand, but is there a way to make a live usb with FDD capabilities, or are they all ZIP/HDD?
[17:33] <johnfg> Any ideas on the failed to load session "ubuntu"?
[17:35] <Flying> or is there a way to update bios without an OS? (like downloading them to a removable media?)
[17:35] <johnfg> googling the error isn't producing anything very helpful.
[17:36] <Flying> Kanerix, because here's the thing, it will load past grub, to the ubuntu OS loading screen, then it just goes blank
[17:36] <compdoc> Flying, that could be a siple setting
[17:36] <Kanerix> Well that's not a bios problem dude
[17:36] <compdoc> simple
[17:37] <david-goodger> I'm unable to build a program (http://burrtools.sf.net). It needs OpenGL, I have Mesa installed, but ./compile tells me "checking for OpenGL... yes
[17:37] <david-goodger> configure: error: no openGL found, openGL is needed for burrtools"
[17:37] <david-goodger> Any pointers?
[17:37] <david-goodger> sorry, ./configure, not ./compile
[17:37] <Flying> compdoc, meaning? How could I go about fixing it, hpefully??
[17:37] <Kanerix> Flying, try adding "nomodeset" to the kernel options for ubuntu
[17:37] <Kanerix> it's probably that the kernel is setting a video mode that your video card doesn't like
[17:37] <Flying> Kanerix, how do I do that? Do I need to run the command
[17:37] <Kanerix> which has absolutely nothing to do with the bios
[17:38] <Kanerix> erm
[17:38] <Flying> I know, I was trying to do a clean install through USB, which was why I was tryna mess with the bios
[17:38] <Fyodorovna> !nomodeset > Flying
[17:38] <Kanerix> I don't remember Ubuntu's bootloader implementation >_>
[17:38] <compdoc> google nomodeset
[17:38] <Kanerix> Fyodorovna, thanks
[17:39] <Fyodorovna> kandinski, no problem.
[17:39] <Flying> thanks Fyodorovna
[17:39] <andre_pl> Flying: did you set it to login automatically? sorry for jumping in but our problems could be similar i get nothing after logging in. but not a blank screen, just a hanging wallpaper
[17:39] <Kanerix> david-goodger, that's funky
[17:40] <Flying> andre_pl, no I don't after the ubuntu screen it just goes black and leaves it there
[17:40] <Kanerix> Flying, yeah that's the symptom that nomodeset should fix
[17:40] <compdoc> Flying, yeah, common problem
[17:40] <andre_pl> !nomodeset
[17:41] <compdoc> its a parameter? I didnt think it was that serious
[17:41] <Flying> I'll check that out, thankfully I've got a couple of PC's so I can make it work
[17:41] <Kanerix> yeah you just add it to the kernel options line
[17:41] <Flying> I dont even know what a parameter is
[17:41] <Kanerix> simple really
[17:41] <MrWGW> hey there, I'm still running 10.10 and want to keep running it due to the horror of later releases
[17:41] <MrWGW> anyway I can disable those annoying "your release is unsupported" popups?
[17:41] <Flying> Kanarix, is how to add it to the kernel options line n that ubuntuforums thread?
[17:41] <compdoc> yes
[17:42] <compdoc> MrWGW, yes
[17:42] <jbrks> anybody knows what i can do to prevent my network card from going to sleep? (but the rest of the machine can)
[17:42] <MrWGW> mainly due to Unity et cetera, I'm sure you hear that a lot
[17:42] <Kanerix> Flying, I didn't click it. Did you?
[17:42] <Kanerix> also
[17:42] <Guest59506> I need to run a command to make this bootable usb work but I get an error http://paste.ubuntu.com/928260/
[17:42] <jbrks> Kanerix, i did. <click>
[17:42]  * Kanerix is how it's spelled
[17:42] <Flying> not yes, I've been reading what you guys have been saying for help. I really appreciate it

[17:43]  * jbrks clicked it
[17:43] <compdoc> dont be clicking on my screen - its delicate
[17:43] <Flying> gonna read it over, I just didn't want to miss any info here
[17:43] <Kanerix> Flying, there's a nice graphical rundown of it on that forum post =p
[17:44] <Kanerix> Guest59506, mount /dev/sdc1 to /media/sdc1
[17:44] <kreative> I am running a mac server (10.0.0.11) lets say on local.domain.com and the server resolves the the mac wiki and what not from public requests for local.domain.com. I am also running a ubuntu bridged (apologies i wrote nat previously) virtualized server (10.0.0.43) and would like it to resolve to server.local.domain.com.
[17:44] <Flying> the only thing is, the ubuntu version I have is 8.04, think it'd be a problem
[17:45] <Guest59506> Kanerix, do I  cd mount /dev/sdc1
[17:46] <Kanerix> Guest59506, mount /dev/sdc1 /media/sdc1
[17:46] <jbrks> kreative, make it simpler.. make a zone 'localdomain' and go down one child namespace.. like a.localdomain  (or if u prefer domain.com that's fine, but don't go so far as server.local.domain.dom, it's too far -- server.domain.com would be easier)
[17:50] <Flying> can someone direct me to a how-to on how to set nomodeset on an outdate version of ubuntu (8.04)?
[17:50] <Kanerix> Flying, did you try the things that the forum post mentioned?
[17:50] <jbrks> Flying, you mean kernelmodesetting (kms).. kms is pretty new, it wouldnt be on 8.04
[17:50] <Kanerix> regardless of version, it's still valid
[17:51] <Kanerix> jbrks, really? I thought it had been around for a while
[17:51] <Flying> Kenarix, I don't have a graphical interface when I try to.
[17:51] <Kanerix> Flying, please stop misspelling my name. It's quite annoying
[17:51] <trism> david-goodger: check out config.log and search for "no openGL found", if you scroll up a little bit you will see the error, for me it was "cannot find -lXmu", so I needed libxmu-dev as well (so, their configure script is kind of broken)
[17:52] <Flying> Kanerix, sorry, I'm (no shit) dyslexic
[17:52] <Kanerix> auto-complete is your friend
[17:52] <david-goodger> trism: thanks, will do!
[17:52] <Kanerix> I don't have any experience in older ubuntu stuffs
[17:53] <Kanerix> Why not upgrade?
[17:53] <rasheed> does htc cell phones work with ubuntu
[17:53] <jbrks> Kanerix, you don't want that. Older ubuntu's have security issues, I see no point looking back..
[17:53] <Flying> bbecause I don't know how to upgrade without a CD, a USB, or actually being inside the OS
[17:53] <Kanerix> jbrks, hah okay
[17:54] <Kanerix> Isn't there a way to force it to run in VESA mode>
[17:54] <Kanerix> ?
[17:54] <Flying> I'm not very well versed with Linux, and a lot of the jargon used by the techies honestly just confuses me. It looks like chinese to me
[17:55] <jbrks> Kanerix, also older X didnt do autoconfiguration as good now. For eg: in the past you needed an xorg.conf file, now X doesnt need one at all and dynamically can detect hardware much better.
[17:55] <Flying> like, I have no idea what it means to run it in VESA mode
[17:55] <Kanerix> jbrks, I have experience with older linux, just not older ubuntu. I miss the days of xorg.conf actually
[17:56] <jbrks> Kanerix, I say use virtualbox and do whatever the hell you like
[17:57] <Flying> how can I upgrade my current version, in the most noobfriendly way to a more recent one without actually going in the OS? can I do it through recovery? can I do it through the command line?
[17:57] <Kanerix> Kanerix, um why would I need to? I was talking about not having experience for helping Flying. I have no interest in running old Ubuntu and I'm not quite sure why you think I need it
[17:57] <Kanerix> er
[17:57] <Kanerix> lol
[17:57] <Kanerix> that was to jbrks
[17:57] <Flying> I'm just at a loss
[17:57] <jbrks> lol
[17:58] <tanin> ha
[17:58] <jbrks> Kanerix is a noob
[17:58] <Kanerix> Flying, well there's actually a way to highjack the running bootloader to boot USB, but it's not very friendly
[17:58] <Kanerix> jbrks, um, no
[17:58] <Kanerix> very much not
[17:58] <ersel> hi all
[17:59] <Kanerix> jbrks, don't mistake lack of experience with ubuntu for lack of experience with linux. I've been using opensuse for over a decade =p
[17:59] <jbrks> I dont think opensuse was out that long
[18:00] <jbrks> you really are making things up.. but nways.. get the topics rolling people
[18:01] <Kanerix> jbrks, wow, really dude?
[18:01] <Kanerix> jbrks, congrats on being that ignorant
[18:01] <jbrks> opensuse was out for 5 years, not over a decade.
[18:02]  * jbrks ends noob discussion
[18:02] <Kanerix> Try 1994
[18:02] <Kanerix> You really aren't getting it, are you
[18:03] <Flying> ok, jbrks I have Ubuntu 8.04 installed on my computer. Since I can't do nomodeset on it for the reason you stated above and I'd like to upgrade anyway (but can't because I am unable to boot from USB/CD and I get a black screen after the Ubuntu load screen). Is there any way that I can do this either in recovery mode, or through the command line "press C for command" (as I get this option in my grub menu)? If so, can you please give me
[18:04] <Flying> really, all I want is someone to help me... and I get many suggestions that just confuse me a lot more and never really solve anything :/
[18:04] <GirlyGirl> Kanerix: Suse was out for a longtime. But OpenSuse is a recent thing
[18:04] <compdoc> 8.04 is quite old and does not support newer hardware as well. dump it
[18:04] <Kanerix> GirlyGirl, yeah, it's habit to type opensuse. I started on SuSE 7.3, technically
[18:05] <jbrks> Flying, people here don't even know what you're asking. Maybe the video hardware is kaput.. did you try hardware tests/memory tests?
[18:05] <Kanerix> compdoc, he's trying to. He can't boot a live disk of any sort, and the hard drive only has 8.04 on it
[18:05] <Flying> jbrks, yes I did.
[18:05] <Flying> no errors
[18:05] <david-goodger> trism: success with BurrTools, thanks!
[18:05] <jbrks> Flying, I won't help anybody with a ubuntu that old.. upgrade
[18:06] <trism> david-goodger: excellent, you're welcome
[18:06] <Kanerix> Flying, the problem is that you have to edit the GRUB boot parameters to tell it to boot a live disk instead of what's installed on the hard drive
[18:06] <Flying> WELL NO SHIT....
[18:06] <Flying> Im asking for the command to upgrade
[18:06] <Flying> like..
[18:06] <Flying> aghhh
[18:06] <FloodBot1> Flying: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:06] <Guest59506> Someone take a look and tell me where I'm going wrong http://paste.ubuntu.com/928280/
[18:06] <Kanerix> Flying: I'm trying to help you. Calm down please
[18:06] <pangolin> !language | Flying
[18:06] <jbrks> Kanerix, upgrade with a cd or usb, make it easier for recovery
[18:07] <Kanerix> Guest59506, why did you completely screw up the command I gave you?
[18:07] <Flying> jbrks, dude just shut up, You don't know what my problem is and you can't help for anything. jesus
[18:07] <jbrks> Kanerix, so get a new cd drive if you have to.. I can't guarantee it'll be problem free
[18:07] <Guest59506> I also tried yours
[18:07] <jbrks> Flying.
[18:07] <Flying> I've said like 4 times I can't boot from CD or USB
[18:07] <Flying> and I cant get into my OS
[18:07] <Kanerix> Guest59506, no, you didn't. You put "cd" in front of it
[18:07] <Flying> read
[18:08] <Kanerix> Flying, I don't think he realizes that you and I are different people
[18:08] <jbrks> Flying, then ask your friend for the password. You've used enough profanities on me. Bye.
[18:08] <roasted> Question - Unable to start DHCP Server on 10.04... No error when I start the service, but it still brings up a - instead of + when I do service --status-all. /etc/defaults is listed for eth0 and eth1 (the NICs in use for DHCP), but still no further luck. Any idea?
[18:08] <fellayaboy> is there a way i could use ssh a key file instead of a password  to authenicate my ssh connection
[18:08] <Flying> you're still retarded, I'm putting you on my ignore list.
[18:08] <Kanerix> Flying: okay how many drives do you have in this machine? I know you have a hard drive and an optical drive, right?
[18:08] <mneptok> Flying: have you tried either booting with -nosplash or just seeing if you can get to a TTY after a little while? while GUI stuff may be broken, the CLI is probably still around.
[18:09] <mneptok> and that's the end of that.
[18:09] <Kanerix> wow
[18:09] <Kanerix> sigh
[18:09] <Kanerix> I was trying to help him -_-
[18:09] <MonkeyDust> Flying  if you have more than one pc, you can ssh to your not-working pc and try to repair from there
[18:09] <Tom5_> how the hell does freenode not have a java channel?
[18:09] <Kanerix> MonkeyDust, he's banned =/
[18:09] <Kanerix> fellayaboy, it is possible, but I'm not sure how to configure it

[18:10] <cccangel> is there a PPA for Wine 1.5? the wine1.3 (which should point to rolling releases) now references stable wine1.4
[18:10] <MonkeyDust> Tom5_  that's double #
[18:11] <sharkmonkey> xfce4-power-manager only works for me if i launch it as root. Is there some group or something I need to be a member of for it to be able to suspend/hibernate and whatnot?
[18:11] <mneptok> fellayaboy: you configure the sshd to accept keys (and maybe only keys) and then put the public key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
[18:11] <Guest59506> http://paste.ubuntu.com/928287/
[18:11] <Kanerix> fellayaboy, google ;)

[18:16] <pheleven> One of my 10.04 systems had an update this morning (likely delayed for a few days or weeks by the user) kill the Nvidia drivers (Nvidia Kernel module failed to load). Nothing exciting happened to cause it, as far as I can tell. The user is running the standard 2.6.32-40-generic kernel, and i reinstalled the nvidia drivers (they built against the correct kernel). It seems that the update installed the noveau drivers, which I removed prior to reinstalling
[18:16] <pheleven>  the nvidia drivers... having no luck so far. Any suggestions?
[18:16] <fellayaboy> oh okay so stupid of me i have to go to the server
[18:16] <fellayaboy> im so dumb
[18:17] <fellayaboy> ok mneptok i got it
[18:18] <fellayaboy> mneptok what should i configure on sshd.confg
[18:19] <mneptok> fellayaboy: you should open the file as the root user in a text editor, and look through it and learn the settings. you'll see everything you want to know about keys and passphrases.
[18:20] <paulus68> ikonia: is there to your knowledge a way to start the 11.10 server cd with commandline (this should allow me to tell the installer to use the preseed file that I created
[18:21] <ikonia> paulus68: you can't start a CD
[18:22]  * mneptok pours icing on ikonia's cinnamon roll
[18:22] <fellayaboy> thank u guys
[18:22] <fellayaboy> i appreciate mneptok
[18:23] <paulus68> ikonia: meaning when the cd is in the cdrom drive booting up and tell the installer through the cli  where the preseed file is located
[18:23] <ikonia> paulus68: it's more than that, as it's a squashed file system that decompresses and runs things from certain locations
[18:27] <paulus68> ikonia: I used an example from this book prentice hall: the official Ubuntu server book 2010 2nd edition where it states that when the installation cd is booting up and gets to the screen where you can select the language you have to hit F6 in order to alter the standard preseed location
[18:28] <ikonia> paulus68: yes, and the key thing is "booting" so it's already decompressed, rather than running it as an executable as you want to do
[18:29] <hplc> does ReiserFS have any future? or one should go with ext4?
[18:29] <ikonia> hplc: ext4 is current and being developed
[18:29] <Kanerix> Since Reiser murdered his wife, it's... unmaintained
[18:29] <paulus68> ikonia: sorry for the wrong explanation on my behalf the purpose is that I get the possibility to alter this
[18:29] <Kanerix> and yes, that's why
[18:30] <ikonia> paulus68: no need to apologize, just explain what you need if I'm not understanding
[18:30] <paulus68> ikonia: hold on
[18:30] <hplc> well it could have been a mistake, he perhaps intended to kill a process?
[18:30] <Kanerix> haha
[18:31] <Kanerix> nice

[18:41] <ikonia> paulus68: what option ?
[18:41] <ikonia> paulus68: bottom line is, you can't "boot" something from a running OS
[18:42] <paulus68> ikonia: to hit F6 hit escape and alter the location of the preseed file
[18:42] <ikonia> it won't work
[18:42] <ikonia> paulus68: that is from a non-booted system
[18:42] <ikonia> paulus68: you cannot "run" the cd from within a booted system
[18:44] <paulus68> ikonia: correct but on that line you can inform the installer that the preseed file is located on http://someplace/preseed.cfg and hit enter the setup is going to continue using the preseed file if it's correctly build up
[18:44] <dougl> I had to reinstall windows on my dual boot ubuntu box and now my grub is gone - is there a way to recover grub?
[18:46] <ssta> dougl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[18:46] <ikonia> paulus68: it's not going to work....try it,
[18:46] <waxstone> !grub
[18:46] <dougl> ssta, thanks
[18:47] <paulus68> ikonia: check the image on page 87 from the pdf that I sent you in pm and I am sorry to inform you I was able to do exactly this using the alternate installation cd now only searching for a way to achieve this with the installation cd for ubuntu server
[18:48] <ikonia> paulus68: great, then why are you asking for help if you know you can do it and know it works ?
[18:49] <ikonia> in honesty, I don't see the point of what you are doing, if you are booting a CD to point at a CD image, why not just install from the CD rather than an image on a disk
[18:49] <ikonia> you've already got the working image if you are infact booting it
[18:49] <paulus68> ikonia: because I miss this particular option when I launch the server installation cd it goes directly to install the system and I don't have to my knowledge a way to alter the path of the preseed file location
[18:49] <ikonia> it seems like a flawd problem with a pointless fix
[18:49] <ikonia> paulus68: right, so the server install doesn't allow it
[18:49] <ikonia> paulus68: so there is your answer, that option is not there
[18:49] <paulus68> ikonia: the point is that I want to launch a unattended setup
[18:50] <paulus68> ikonia: and I am also looking into a pxe server
[18:50] <ikonia> paulus68: launching a unattended setup is is different than pointing at an image of a cd
[18:50] <paulus68> ikonia: in order to achieve just that
[18:50] <MonkeyDust> sounds like a OEM setup to me
[18:50] <mraxilus> my notifyosd notifications are not working lately can anyone help?
[18:51] <paulus68> ikonia: agreed that it's different and with the alternate cd it's working for the desktop envirement however would have liked to achieve this for the server aswell
[18:53] <paulus68> ikonia: I will experiment a little bit more with the preseed file for desktop thanks for your help and if you like the pdf just copy it :)
[18:53] <speekeasy> hey can anyone help me out with an issue im having with ubuntu 11.10
[18:53] <ikonia> pdf ?
[18:53] <DeLorean731> does 11.10 come with a utility to password protect (encrypt) a folder?
[18:53] <paulus68> ikonia: the link I sent you in pm
[18:53] <ikonia> oh, I didn't see a pm
[18:53] <ikonia> I'll have a read later
[18:53] <oofus> --
[18:53] <ssta> DeLorean731: you can encrypt a filesystem...don't think you can encrypt just a directory
[18:54] <paulus68> ok
[18:54] <jbrks> !ask
[18:54] <DeLorean731> ssta: hmm... do you know of a third-party utility that isn't too hard to use?
[18:55] <ssta> DeLorean731: what you're looking to do can't be done.  Any third party utility will bundle the folder into a loopback mounted filesystem that's encrypted.
[18:55] <debian_noob> what utility should I use to repair a FAT filesystem on a microSD memory card?
[18:55] <ssta> DeLorean731: which is something you can already do yourself
[18:56] <jbrks> debian_noob, what do you mean repair? undelete?
[18:56] <debian_noob> nope
[18:56] <genii-around> debian_noob: dosfsck
[18:56] <debian_noob> im getting CRC errors
[18:56] <jbrks> debian_noob, there's things like e2fsck.vfat or similar.. ya. dosfsck
[18:57] <ssta> DeLorean731: see tools like encfs and cryptmount
[18:57] <debian_noob> dosfsck didnt work
[18:57] <debian_noob> i formatted it]
[18:57] <debian_noob> deleted partition
[18:57] <debian_noob> used mkdosfs
[18:57] <debian_noob> in short, everything
[18:58] <debian_noob> is it safe to assume that the card is dying?
[18:59] <diimdeep> hello why via apt-get available nginx/0.7.65 or tmux/1.1-1 when available 1.0.15 and 1.6 ? 10.04 by the way..
[18:59] <jbrks> debian_noob, do you get errors in the log (type dmesg<enter>)
[19:00] <ssta> diimdeep: because 10.04 is 2 years old?
[19:00] <Pici> !latest | diimdeep
[19:00] <debian_noob> jbrks, hold on a minute im running fsck again, will remount and tell you

[19:00] <ludwin01> ?
[19:01] <diimdeep> ssta: waht packages available for latest dictro ?
[19:01] <diimdeep> *distro
[19:01] <ssta> diimdeep: 12.04 is a long-term support release.  It's due the end of the month
[19:01] <jbrks> debian_noob, try using the mountpoint, like -> find /mnt/mymountpoint,  if find says an error, then type dmesg
[19:01] <Pici> !info nginx precise
[19:02] <jbrks> debian_noob, using the find command like forces it to use the disk alot and see what happens
[19:02] <diimdeep> i see now
[19:02] <debian_noob> jbrks, reading isnt a problem
[19:03] <debian_noob> writing is
[19:03] <debian_noob> after writing a few MB, it stops
[19:03] <ludwin01> im using 10.04 lts distro, i need to sync an ipod touch
[19:03] <jbrks> debian_noob, ok then see if there are any reset or hw messages related to the card in dmesg
[19:04] <jbrks> debian_noob, u of course have things backed up? you should anyways..
[19:05] <debian_noob> jbrks, yes i do..but putting it back on the card is a pain..
[19:05] <debian_noob> i have to use windows and connect the phone in Samsung Kies mode
[19:06] <debian_noob> and strangely, i can write stuff onto it without problems
[19:06] <debian_noob> but of course it is really slow
[19:06] <jbrks> debian_noob, you sure you're writing to the card, and not to the built-in storage of the phone?
[19:07] <debian_noob> jbrks, yes i'm sure
[19:07] <jbrks> debian_noob, it may be certain parts of the card not workingn well.. try dumping the whole card to /dev/null
[19:07] <jbrks> debian_noob, you dont need to mount it, just -> cat /dev/<the device>  >  /dev/null    and wait for it to finish..
[19:07] <debian_noob> well, fsck.vfat is still running..
[19:08] <jbrks> debian_noob, fsck.vfat doesnt see if it can read all the sectors
[19:08] <debian_noob> jbrks, yeah, but i better let it finish

[19:17] <Guest29925> I've installed the beta version of Ubuntu 12.04. Now I'm trying to complete multimedia support. Streaming media won't work as before (10.04). I'm only using the totem-mozilla plugin and I've installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, w32codecs and non-free-codecs. Whenever I open an audio stream the totem-mozilla player displays visual effects which can't be disabled and no buttons are visible. Is this a known issue with the latest version
[19:17] <Guest29925> of totem/totem-mozilla? Here is a test stream: http://www.england.fm/ (liquidfm for example)
[19:17] <digitald2> help me guys i have a printer that isnt supported but ubuntu Epson AcuLaser M1200
[19:18] <Guest59506> sudo mount /dev/sdc1 to /media/sdc1 http://paste.ubuntu.com/928402/
[19:18] <Guest59506> Did I liave something out of that command
[19:19] <compdoc> dont use 'to'
[19:19] <compdoc> you should google examples of the command
[19:20] <digitald2> can't print properly here
[19:21] <digitald2> have my windows 7 dvd on my hand and im ready to insert it to my cd drive
[19:21] <guntbert> Guest59506: the syntax is:   sudo mkdir /media/mydisk     and then       sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/mydisk
[19:22] <ssta> digitald2: if it's not supported, there's not much we can do
[19:22] <Kanerix> guntbert, man I told him that like an hour ago... sigh
[19:23] <digitald2> ssta , yes i understand but i just bought it
[19:23] <digitald2> and i'm not gonna buy a new one
[19:23] <javierf_> it's not possible anymore to download a video by saving the video file from tmp folder?
[19:23] <digitald2> i'd rather format to windows and forget this whole thing is more logical to me
[19:23] <ssta> digitald2: bring it back.  Google suggests it's possible to make it work albeit with some effort.  I've never used that printer so I dunno for sure
[19:24] <ssta> digitald2: you have to do whatever you have to do
[19:24] <digitald2> i have no choice
[19:24] <EvilResistance> digitald2:  you may be able to find drivers if you google for em though
[19:24] <digitald2> and not much money
[19:24] <EvilResistance> i know recommending google is bad, but still
[19:24] <digitald2> EvilRes i've googled it

[19:25] <Somelauw> Is there a way in nautilus to open a terminal in the current folder?
[19:26] <digitald2> anyway...
[19:26] <ssta> digitald2: you can dual boot if you want to.  I agree that sometimes the lack of easy driver support can be annoying.  Usually I look at all the positives and weight them up and stick to Linux myself.
[19:26] <Guest29925> Somelauw, install nautilus-open-terminal
[19:27] <digitald2> i believe you should choose an os only

[19:28] <Jecika> Hi
[19:28] <digitald2> i was stupid i bought a printer that isn't supported and i didn't even check if its compatible with linux .  my old inkjet printer was compatible
[19:28] <_255> When I try to boot from Ubuntu desktop installer cd this screen show up and I get stuck : http://imagebin.org/207933
[19:28] <_255> Could someone help me to figure out what does it means please?
[19:29] <ice_> ubuntu-se
[19:30] <Somelauw> Probably needs a reboot, since it isn't working yet.
[19:30] <ssta> digitald2: Linux should do better for drivers.  Sometimes it's the fault of the manufacturer and can't be helped.  I know that's not must consolation to you though :)
[19:30] <digitald2> dont buy from epson
[19:30] <digitald2> hp has better support
[19:31] <guntbert> !enter | digitald2
[19:31] <ice_> is it possible to mount ufs2 with write support in kernel.. sitting on a ubuntu 12 live cd and I can mount my ufs disks with option ro
[19:31] <ssta> I tend to only buy HP laser printers...preferably with onboard postscript support.  They Just Work :)
[19:31] <Somelauw> digitald2: I have the same problem. Both my printer and scanner don't run under linux. Well, my printer actually works fine for black-white.
[19:32] <digitald2> i was stupid ... what i was thinking ?? (i guess only the price) i thought linux would support my printer it has support for many devices...
[19:33] <digitald2> im ungry
[19:33] <digitald2> now
[19:33] <digitald2> thank you for your help bye bye and dont buy epson

[20:03] <savage> installed 10.04 just fine, on a partition. dual boot with windows 7, had it set up with windows loader first the grub2.  after playing with some android dev tool, it changed my grub version i think, it looks different anyway. upon reboot i get the new or different grub then if i choose i get windows loader then i have the choice to go back to grub again.  regardless of either grub i use to enter linux it wont boot, if i choose to boot

[20:05] <savage> i put in the live cd to see if i can fix the issue and it comes up with "NO ROOT DIRECTORY FOUND, PLEASE FIX IN PARTITION MANAGER"
[20:05] <roasted> Question - is there any way to create a custom entry on the LightDM login screen? It's a long story but I basically want the ability to select an option (perhaps another user, I don't know) that will run a terminal command, and then reset the login screen as if it was a fresh boot. Any idea?
[20:07] <ubuntu> hello
[20:07] <Crell> Hi folks.  I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and trying to mount an sshfs remote using this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/mounting-remote-directories-with-sshfs-on-ubuntu-11.10
[20:07] <li0s> is there any tutorial on how to install themes in ubuntu unity 11.10 ?
[20:07] <Crell> It seems to work fine, but only for root.
[20:08] <Crell> Is there no way to mount an sshfs remote and make it accessible to normal users?  I have the directory I'm mounting to owned by the user I want, but it's still not picking up.
[20:08] <ssta> Crell: how exactly are you mounting it?
[20:08] <zykotick9> roasted: [just an idea] but solaris used to have a shutdown user, who's interpreter just pointed to the shutdown command.  perhaps you couse create a script with the command you need followed by a restart of you DM?  then create a user with that script as it's interpreter?  i'm sure there's a better way ;)  good luck though.
[20:08] <TheFuzz4> Crell, let me see if I can find the answer to that
[20:09] <TheFuzz4> I've fixed that before
[20:09] <Crell> ssta: With sshfs, per section 3 on that tutorial.
[20:09] <roasted> zykotick9: ehh, I need this to be at the login screen, not shut down... we're running 11.04 on some laptops here (moving to 12.04 very soon), but sometimes the generic profiles we have on them get corrupt and won't log in. We go to log in and they just loop back to login, over, and over, and over.
[20:09] <_255> Any idas folks?
[20:10] <roasted> zykotick9: I set up a simple script on a flash drive I run under the local administrator account, which rm -rf's the home directory, recopies it from /etc/skel, and chown + chmod's it properly and it works great.
[20:10] <Crell> Oh now this is interesting...
[20:10] <_255> s/idas/ideas
[20:10] <ssta> Crell: the tutorial seems massively xomplex.  It's as simple as: sshfs user@host:/path mountpoint/
[20:10] <zykotick9> roasted: that's what i'm suggesting.  when you log in as that user, it's going to run your script...
[20:10] <savage> IVE LOST ROOT DIRECTORY, can anyone point to a fix
[20:10] <roasted> zykotick9: I want to take that script, except add it as a login option via radio button... so if the teacher is having issues with a particular student, he/she can click, it runs, log in, bam done
[20:10] <Crell> TheFuzz4, ssta: If I run sshfs as my own user without sudo, it succeeds and mounts the directory but then root cannot access it.  JUST my user.
[20:10] <Crell> That's bizarre.
[20:10] <ssta> Crell: you do NOT use sshfs as root (usually)...unless you have a good reason to
[20:10] <roasted> zykotick9: you're proposing run it EVERY time they boot up?
[20:11] <ssta> Crell: yes...that's how it should be.  Why would root want to access it?
[20:11] <Crell> Doesn't root get access to everything by definition?
[20:11] <ssta> Crell: only locally.  Not remotely
[20:11] <noname120> [Hi ! I've network issues with my broadcom 43xx wifi card : I've xubuntu and I installed the driver, the network manager of xubuntu don't show the wireless connections . I tried to install wicd but this can't find any network neither . But with backtrack, a bunch of wireless network are found and I can connect on them
[20:11] <Crell> Ah.
[20:11] <zykotick9> roasted: no, only when you want/need to.  it won't be the default user in anyway - but there could be a choice for "RESET SYSTEM" as a user that would run whatever you need it to - then restart to DM, so the real user could then log in.
[20:12] <ssta> Crell: otherwise the fact that I'm root on THIS system would give me ownership of everyone's systems
[20:12] <Crell> Hm.  OK, fair point.
[20:12] <roasted> zykotick9: hm, do you have any sort of link that might build on this a bit more? This is sounding like an attractive idea.
[20:12] <roasted> zykotick9: is there a proper name for this that I could Google?
[20:12] <noname120> Can anyone help me please ?
[20:13] <ssta> Crell: in general, just mount the sshfs again if more than one user needs it (it's the simplest way)
[20:13] <zykotick9> roasted: sorry - no idea!  i haven't tested this - but don't see why it wouldn't work ;)  good luck man.  PS. there might be a better way?
[20:13]  * Crell nods.
[20:13] <Crell> OK.  Now to figure out why some mounts are working and others not. :-)
[20:13] <jola> hi. after a BSOD I can't boot windows anymore. grub says "error: no such device: B248C33048C2F261. error: no such disk". the BSOD said: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL [...] NDIS.SYS [...], and when it occured I hadn't been starting any programs for quite a while, I was just writing an email in firefox when it suddenly happened. I'm dual booting windows xp and xubuntu. I'm on xubuntu now, the windows partition doesn't appear in Thunar (t
[20:13] <jola> he file manager) either. but "fdisk -l" shows the partition (also marked as bootable). I want to use xubuntu to check for what's causing the issue but I don't know what it could be or what to test for and how. some driver screwed with the partition
[20:14] <zykotick9> roasted: just creating the user "RESET SYSTEM" and have your script(s) called from the default autorun or session type thing might be even easier to setup.
[20:14] <noname120> I've network issues with my broadcom 43xx wifi card : I've xubuntu and I installed the driver, the network manager of xubuntu don't show the wireless connections . I tried to install wicd but this can't find any network neither . But with backtrack, a bunch of wireless network are found and I can connect on them . How can I fix it ?
[20:15] <ssta> jola: sounds to me like your windows partition is toast.  You'll probably have to try using the windows CD to recover it
[20:15] <jola> ssta, oh no :(
[20:15] <noname120> Please help me !!    I've network issues with my broadcom 43xx wifi card : I've xubuntu and I installed the driver, the network manager of xubuntu don't show the wireless connections . I tried to install wicd but this can't find any network neither . But with backtrack, a bunch of wireless network are found and I can connect on them
[20:16] <jola> I just moved to a new apartment and need my data, the new semester starts on monday
[20:16] <Crell> LOL.
[20:16] <Crell> ssta: OK, this is probably also "normal" but differs from my Mac experience.
[20:16] <ssta> jola the windows CD might be able to recover the install
[20:16] <jola> ssta, I don't know where it is
[20:16] <Crell> Symlinks in the remote file system are resolving relative to my local file system, not remote.
[20:17] <noname120> jola : then download it and burn it
[20:17] <Crell> aka, I cannot traverse them because the target path doesn't exist locally.
[20:17] <ssta> jola: hmm, then I fear you're in trouble...
[20:17] <thundx> noname120: upgrade to FreeBSD. Linux has been crap for video cards and 802.11 lately.
[20:17] <zykotick9> noname120: sounds like your missing firmware or something... have you followed !broadcom?
[20:17] <zykotick9> !broadcom | noname120
[20:17] <ssta> jola: try the microsoft site, there might be an iso you can burn
[20:17] <jola> ah
[20:17] <ssta> Crell: they will if they are absolute paths.
[20:18] <noname120> jola : try the tpb site , there must be an iso to burn
[20:18] <Crell> ssta: When I mount the same share on my Mac at work I do not get that.
[20:18] <ssta> Crell: I dunno how Mac does things
[20:18] <jola> noname120, a normal xp install iso? or a special recovery cd iso?
[20:19] <ssta> jola: the standard XP install iso has a recovery mode
[20:19] <noname120> yes
[20:19] <jola> ok
[20:19] <jola> and what commands should I run in the recovery console?
[20:19] <noname120> don't open the recovery console
[20:19] <zykotick9> !windows
[20:20] <ssta> it's XP, it's all wizardy.  You say "try to recover" and then wait a few hours while it tries.  It will either work or not
[20:20] <jola> zykotick9, I asked there, they sent me here -.-
[20:20] <noname120> guys I can't find how to fix my problem with my broadcom 43xx wifi chip :/
[20:20] <noname120> Please help me
[20:21] <jola> ssta, what can I do if that doesn't work? can I access the data from linux somehow? fdisk recognizes the partition, can I mount it?
[20:21] <zykotick9> !helpme > noname120
[20:21] <ssta> jola: you can try mounting it, yes
[20:21] <rinzler> !wifi > noname120
[20:24] <jola> ssta, fdisk shows for it"/dev/sda2   *        9729       19456    78140160    7  HPFS/NTFS", but "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt" outputs: "NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': Invalid argument. The device '/dev/sda2' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS."
[20:24] <noname120> guys : I don't understand these documentations: why does it work flawlessly in backtrack-linux or even windows with a single action but in ubuntu, we need 200 command to try to make it work and it's not sure. Is there no way to fix it without 200 lines of command line etc ?
[20:24] <ssta> jola: hmm, looks like a dead filesystem.  Sorry
[20:25] <thundx> jola: looks like your disk is bad
[20:25] <jola> :(((
[20:26] <roasted> zykotick9: oh okay... so I assume I just need to create a script, tag it to startup applications for "RESET SYSTEM", and that's it, eh? I guess I just need to tag at the end of the script "when complete, log out" etc?
[20:26] <jola> ssta, thundx: but it's not physical, right?
[20:27] <thundx> noname120: when you can explain why Linux has decades of Laptop support but no docking station support at all, then I'll tell you the mystery of why 802.11 is junk under Linux.
[20:27] <zykotick9> roasted: if you wanted to get fancy, your script could restart Xorg / DM.
[20:27] <thundx> Yes, your physical disk probably has bad sectors.
[20:27] <ssta> jola: probably not, but it's impossible to tell
[20:27] <thundx> depending on the manufacturer, there might be a usable boot disk which can diagnose bad sectors
[20:27] <roasted> zykotick9: that may be best... for waht it's worth, if I add the script to startup applications that's just for THAT user, right?
[20:27] <jola> ssta, how could I check?
[20:28] <thundx> If you can find them, you may be able to skip them when you create new partitions.
[20:28] <noname120> "tell you the mystery of why 802.11 is junk under Linux." <-- I wanna fix it: why is ubuntu so crappy foe that ?
[20:28] <ZeloZelos> bad sectors are like cancer, it will get worse even if you find the sectors, i suggest replacing asap
[20:28] <noname120> *foe--> for
[20:28] <_255> I need help here please!
[20:28] <zykotick9> roasted: RIGHT!  only for that user.  (i think it would be ideal if you enter the password and there is no interaction, until the DM returns)
[20:28] <jola> fml
[20:29] <thundx> It's not just Ubuntu. Linux, in general, has terribad WiFi support.
[20:29] <ssta> jola: you can't without destroying the data.  THe only hope you have is rescue from a windows CD...but you might be completely hosed.  Sorry
[20:29] <roasted> thundx: I've never really had much of an issue with wifi, except for broadcom chips, and even they have been better in the last year.
[20:29] <jola> the data of years of work are on that partition
[20:29] <noname120> thundx : works flawlessly on backtrack-linux :/
[20:29] <roasted> zykotick9: appreciate the input. thanks a lot!
[20:29] <_255> please!
[20:29] <ZeloZelos> 256 ?
[20:29] <noname120> jola : some experts can retrieve your data but it'll cost you avout 100$
[20:29] <thundx> that's because BT is a tool set designed specifically to work with mobile pen testing.
[20:30] <bernku> ubuntu and linux in gereanl, work greate with wifi
[20:30] <roasted> thundx: to the contrary, there's been times windows has magically dropped my wifi and never reconnected unless I remove the ssid and re-add it, whereas ubuntu works flawless. Gotta love technology...
[20:30] <ZeloZelos> 255
[20:30] <roasted> anyway, I'm out. thanks!
[20:30] <noname120> thundx : too bad: what linux distrib that works with ubuntu packets does support this ?
[20:30] <ZeloZelos> _255: what is your question
[20:30] <_255> ZeloZelos, When I try to boot I got stuck on this screen : http://imagebin.org/207933
[20:31] <_255> ZeloZelos, I am trying to install ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386
[20:31] <thundx> General question: does Ubuntu have the same broken NetworkManager that Debian has? e.g.  wireless interfaces are unmanaged
[20:32] <_255> Have you ever seen such a thing?
[20:32] <ZeloZelos> _255: i have no idea what that ss is of, to follow, you inserted disk, booted from disk, ran live/ or not ran the installer?
[20:32] <noname120> _255 : describe the steps and where it bug
[20:32] <_255> ZeloZelos, I am booting from a toasted cd.
[20:32] <ZeloZelos> _255: toasted?
[20:33] <sno> Hi, sendmail by default will try to deliver an email for up to five days, does anyone know how often it retries to send an email?  I can't seem to find that information?
[20:33] <_255> ZeloZelos, well, I used to have XP running but got borrowed about blue screen, then I installed this new Ubuntu 12 version which is completly full of bugs. I suspected this machine may be with some hardware issues.
[20:34] <thundx> noname120: does your /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf have [ifupdown] managed=false?
[20:34] <grendal-prime> hey anyone have any luck with netmrg ?
[20:34] <_255> Then I removed some drives and try to keep as few hardware as possible to start a investigation.
[20:34] <thundx> e.g. NetworkManager is not managing the wifi interface....
[20:34] <ssta> _255: 12.04 isn't released yet, it's still in beta...
[20:34] <Bersam> Hello everybody! i made a script (download list) with synaptic in ubuntu 10.04 ... can i use that for ubuntu 11.10? or apps in 11.10 is newer than lucid?
[20:35] <ZeloZelos> _255: that ss sort of reminds me of a system error, like the processor isnt functioning right or somehting, aaa, the big blue..ok...it probably is something to do with hardware, what machine, how old?
[20:35] <_255> ssta, yes, but when you go to www.ubuntu.com the first option is to download a beta version, quite hard to figure where is the old version.
[20:35] <jola> ssta, noname120: and if recovery fails, can I at least format the partition if it can't be mounted, and then reinstall windows?
[20:35] <thundx> 12.04 beta2 isn't too bad.
[20:35] <_255> ZeloZelos, not sure I know its a ADM processor and should be quite old already.
[20:35] <ssta> _255: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[20:36] <thundx> jola: you familiar with dd ?
[20:36] <_255> ssta, yes, I already figured.
[20:36] <noname120> jola : better you try a file recovering tool before
[20:36] <jola> thundx, I only know that it does raw copy
[20:36] <_255> But I thing Ubuntu guys should avoid putting a beta version in such a hightlight
[20:36] <ssta> jola: depends.  If the drive has hardware errors, might be better to get your data off it and replace it (I make a policy to bin a drive that doesn't feel reliable as soon as spossible...compared to losing data, drives are cheap)
[20:37] <thundx> if you have the free space, I'd try to dd the contents of the bad partition to a file. That way, if it happens to be that just the fstype sig is bad, you can edit it and mount it via loopback
[20:37] <thundx> if the dd won't complete, then you know for sure the drive is bad
[20:37] <ZeloZelos> _255: im almost positive thats saying that either there is bad memory, bad processor/controller or something else with the board. you will need to know the make/model to determine...that appears even if you dont have a disk in the drive right?
[20:37] <jola> thundx, but how can I copy from it if I can't mount it?
[20:37] <thundx> you can try this (assuming /dev/sda1 is windows): dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/null bs=512
[20:37] <eddy_000> Help Please: error processing configuration file '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf'   ( PROFTPF)
[20:37] <ssta> jola: dd if=/dev/sdX of=myFile bs=1024
[20:38] <ssta> thundx: umm, that won't save a copy :)
[20:38] <thundx> if that doesn't hang, and you don't hear clicking noises, then change the of= to be a file
[20:38] <thundx> right, just need to check the drive first :)
[20:38] <eddy_000> PROFTP will not boot up anyone know anything about this suject?
[20:38] <Bndrr> eddy_000, u need to configure that file if u want a goof ftpd service
[20:38] <Bndrr> good *
[20:38] <eddy_000> Bndrr i opened it, it says read only?
[20:38] <_255> ZeloZelos, not really, it apears after ISOLINUX 4.04 201105`8 ETCD Copyright ? 1994-2011 Peter Amuim et al
[20:38] <eddy_000> could this be the problem then?
[20:39] <ZeloZelos> _255: do you have another disk? perhaps something went wrong with dl or burning
[20:39] <jola> thundx, how long is it supposed to take? it runs for more than 10 secs now
[20:39] <thundx> dd doesn't care about signatures - so if it is a corrupted file system then dd will complete. If its a bad hdd then dd will, normally, hang
[20:39] <ssta> jola: how big is the drive?
[20:39] <thundx> could be a very long time
[20:39] <Bndrr> eddy_000, maybe something in proftpd.conf is worng
[20:39] <thundx> how big is the partition, in GB?
[20:39] <eddy_000> well Bndrr how can i edit this file?
[20:39] <jola> thundx, ssta, it's a 53GB partition on a 160GB drive
[20:39] <_255> ZeloZelos, I started with Ubuntu, then I moved to Kubuntu then I moved back to Ubuntu again, always same issue.
[20:39] <thundx> how big is the windows partition, in GB?
[20:39] <thundx> ah
[20:39] <Bndrr> put some ## before the lines and check up line bu line.
[20:40] <jola> ah no, 80 GB partition
[20:40] <eddy_000> the file hasnt been edited by me and its a clean instal :S
[20:40] <_255> ZeloZelos, I am all day long testing it.
[20:40] <Bndrr> for edit u can for example gedit /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
[20:40] <thundx> then it should run for > 10 minutes.
[20:40] <ssta> jola: typical drives read at (about) 50-100MB/second.  (say 80 to make the math easy).  80GB is 1000 times that, so 1000 seconds (about 20 minutes)
[20:40] <thundx> I don't remember the CTRL- key sequence to make it spit out progress
[20:40] <jola> thundx, is it 512 MB? or byte?
[20:41] <thundx> 512 in the command line is 512k
[20:41] <Bndrr> copy the context,go to pastebin, and let me see .maybe i can help.
[20:41] <jola> thundx, but why does that depend on the partition size?
[20:41] <jola> it can read from the start
[20:41] <thundx> why does what depend?
[20:41] <ssta> thundx: umm, no it's not.  it's bytes
[20:41] <jola> thundx, how long it takes
[20:41] <jola> reading 512 bytes shouldn't take 10 secs
[20:41] <ZeloZelos> _255: ah, ok, then it could be the disk drive idk, that ss is very strange. none of those codes are showing in google for me, cept error 3, but thats a huge hit
[20:42] <thundx> duh, yeah, I fat fingered that...was thinking ahead about the 4k block size drives
[20:42] <_255> ZeloZelos, what I did mess a lot is this machine bios
[20:42] <eddy_000> Bndrr : it opened up the file but its not letting me touch it, says its read only and the save option is coloured out also :S
[20:42] <ssta> jola: no, you're reading it 512 bytes at a time.  It weill read the whole partition
[20:42] <thundx> its not reading 512 bytes, its reading chunks of 512 bytes until EOF or you stop it
[20:42] <ZeloZelos> _255: what did you mess with, can you get it back to default?
[20:42] <jola> ssta, ah!
[20:42] <_255> ZeloZelos, maybe it's something I did at bios.
[20:42] <ZeloZelos> very possible
[20:42] <Bndrr> eddy_000,  try with sudo su and then the gedit command.
[20:42] <Bndrr> or nano /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
[20:43] <thundx> if you want to only read a certain number, add "count=X" to the end, where count is the number of 512 byte blocks to read
[20:43] <jola> thundx, ssta, so how long should I wait until I know if it hangs? (the partition is 80GB)
[20:43] <Bndrr> but with superpowers. :)
[20:43] <_255> ZeloZelos, well yes, I did set it to default already, but this machine has 2 hdds and 2 cd-rom drives.
[20:43] <thundx> to be sure, wait till tomorrow :)
[20:43] <thundx> otherwise
[20:43] <ZeloZelos> _255: what bios is it?
[20:43] <bekks> Bndrr: sudo su is useless use of su. sudo -i does the same, as well as gksu/kdesudo gedit in that case.
[20:43] <ssta> jola: I'd say if it's not done in 3-4 hours, there's probably a problem
[20:43] <thundx> you can stop it after a few minutes. if CTRL-C doesn't kill it, or the "blocks copied" in the output doesn't look kosher then the drive is toast
[20:44] <_255> ZeloZelos, I did remove one of each but I don't know if the jumpers are all set.
[20:44] <jola> thundx, why pipe it to /dev/null though. wouldn't it be better to save it in a file?
[20:44] <Bndrr> thx
[20:44] <_255> ZeloZelos, it's a AwardBios
[20:44] <thundx> do some math on the number of blocks copied and see if, based onthe interface type, the numbers look right
[20:44] <ssta> jola: I think a file is better...especially if the drive is dying.
[20:44] <jola> thundx, what amount of "blocks copied" could be considered kosher after x minutes?
[20:45] <jola> ssta, but my linux partition is smaller than 80 gb
[20:45] <Guest66992> ciao
[20:45] <thundx> because /dev/null is faster. we just want to test read - and writing it to a file might trip on another bad block
[20:45] <ssta> jola: oh, then you're in trouble...
[20:45] <Guest66992> !lista
[20:45] <jola> ssta, I'll try to make space on my external drive. will that work?
[20:45] <ZeloZelos> _255: did you check them, because thats making sense, if both hd's or disks are not on the right cable, or have the jumpers mixed up it will show stuff like that, do you know how to arrange the drives (primary, slave+ etc)?
[20:46] <ssta> jola: yes, if there's enough space.  Typically it will be slower though
[20:46] <david_r> Hi folks, I'm trying to maximize a window across multiple monitors -- http://askubuntu.com/questions/73573/how-to-maximise-a-window-across-two-monitors -- this worked for me in 11.10 but not now in 12.04.  Any advice?
[20:46] <jola> ssta, so then it would be of=/path/to/file ?
[20:46] <thundx> well, when you stop it you will see a time in seconds and a block count transfered. if you see that you were getting 2kb/sec or something very low......
[20:46] <_255> ZeloZelos, no, not really.
[20:46] <ssta> jola: yep.  Using a bigger block size might help too (say bs=10k)
[20:47] <_255> ZeloZelos, I may have messed with the cables order and position...
[20:47] <bino> bjr
[20:47] <azertyl> bjr
[20:47] <thundx> heck, if you are going bigger try bs=1M
[20:47] <azertyl> -bjr-
[20:48] <thundx> bs=512 should give you, if you can see where it hangs, the block on the drive which is bad AND that number should align with what you get in fdisk. that's the only reason I usually start out with bs=512
[20:48] <ZeloZelos> _255:  ah ok, so heres the short, to have 2 hd's, one will be master and one will be slave, both on the same cable, the master probably will not need a jumper, the slave will need one but there should be a diagram on the drive its self, the same for disk drives. just make sure both hd's are on the same cable (or the cables they are connect to go to the same area of the board)
[20:48] <azertyl> well is there any web based version of ubuntu available here ?
[20:49] <ssta> azertyl: "web based version"?
[20:49] <ZeloZelos> _255: the best thing to do for now is only use 1 hd and 1 disk drive (not inc a floppy if its there) set all to master
[20:49] <azertyl> hold down i back
[20:49] <jola> ssta, thundx: results: 57326153+0 records in, 57326152+0 records out, 29350989824 bytes (29 GB) copied, 640.507 s, 45.8 MB/s
[20:49] <_255> ZeloZelos, the order the cable connects doesn't matters, like if it connects first one of the drivers and then the other?
[20:50] <ssta> jola: that's about the right speed...in the ballpark anyway
[20:50] <Popopo> hello everyone
[20:50] <thundx> so you stopped it? that looks pretty good.
[20:50] <_255> And how about the cd-rom driver?
[20:50] <thundx> chances are you have simple disk corruption, not a bad hdd
[20:50] <azertyl> hello
[20:50] <azertyl> well is there any web based version of ubuntu available here ?
[20:50] <_255> ZeloZelos, And how about the cd-rom drive?
[20:50] <ZeloZelos> _255: no it dont matter, but the cable should have some print on it to tell you the desired connection if not just connect the master to the end and leave the other one off, the same with the disk drives
[20:51] <L0tt037> Am I the only oppne not craqzy  about 11.10 vs/10.10?
[20:51] <thundx> So now you need a NTFS fsck
[20:51] <ssta> azertyl: I have no idea what you mean by "web based version"?
[20:51] <_255> ZeloZelos, it conteigns two different interfaces CSM and SLA, with one shoudld I jump it?
[20:51] <jola> ssta, thundx: so the next step would be to make space on an external hd and copy the whole partition there, with "sudo dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/path/to/file bs=1M"?
[20:51] <azertyl> cloud os
[20:51] <ssta> jola: you might want to look around for a Barts PE disk (or whatever the modern equivalent is...been a few years since I cared about windows systems)
[20:51] <thundx> yep. that will make a backup. If you can figure out the NTFS signature you can add that with a hex editor or vim
[20:52] <thundx> ooh, yeah, forgot about barts.
[20:52] <Schrodinger`Cat> hey
[20:52] <moonshield> any alternatives to tor? :')
[20:52] <thundx> is the partition XP, Vista, 7, 8?
[20:52] <thundx> moonshield: ipredator
[20:53] <ZeloZelos> _255 also disconnect the power from the unused drives for now...here read this hopefully it helps   http://pressf1.pcworld.co.nz/archive/index.php/t-92670.html?s=b94bf060f6257470bc0f852db24d2c79
[20:53] <jola> ssta, thundx: there is 87 GB free on my external disk. is that enough? can/should I preallocate the 80GB file?
[20:53] <jola> thundx, it's a xp partition
[20:53] <moonshield> thundx, thanks
[20:53] <ZeloZelos> _255 to be honest, i dont know a lot about this, but i usually can muddle through
[20:53] <thundx> no, don't preallocate. that won't help any. just format it as something you can read with Linux and start making a big file. Probably use EXT4 for the fstype
[20:54] <moonshield> thundx, any free alternatives to tor?
[20:54] <_255> ZeloZelos, ok, I will give it a shoot and see what happens, thank you for now man!
[20:54] <thundx> Free? no
[20:55] <thundx> speed an issue for you?
[20:55] <moonshield> thundx, not speed, i have a different issue
[20:55] <faithlesscvc> any working driver to be aple to explore ext3 partition from windows explorer?
[20:56] <thundx> well, you'll want something based out of Sweden...at least until May (?end of April) when their new privacy laws kick in
[20:56] <azertyl> anyone ?
[20:56] <_255> ZeloZelos, if I intend to boot from cd-rom, does it requires to be set as master ?
[20:56] <thundx> you want a cloud Ubuntu?
[20:56] <moonshield> me?
[20:57] <thundx> sorry, Azertyl
[20:57] <azertyl> ok i forgive you
[20:57] <moonshield> thundx, how can someone block tor?
[20:58] <jola> thundx, there are 61 GB used on the external disk. it's vfat
[20:58] <jola> wait, IIRC it can only have files up to 4 GB?
[20:58] <ZeloZelos> ok gl _255
[20:59] <jola> I remember I got errors when trying to do a backup that contained larger than 4 GB files onto it (vm images)
[20:59] <thundx> azertyl: https://build.opensuse.org/
[20:59] <ZeloZelos> _255: if you only have one drive, its set to master, slave is only use when you have more than one
[20:59] <thundx> Yeah jola. that won't work. I thought you had 80+ gb of uncommitted space on the hdd
[21:00] <thundx> e.g. you could make a 85GB /dev/sdb2 or something
[21:00] <mraxilus> My notifyosd stopped displaying bubbles. When I send a noticications with notify-send it appears in the log however the notification bubble does not display, nor does it display for other things such as volume, etc. Can anyone help?
[21:00] <jola> thundx, a second partition on the external drive? with gparted?
[21:00] <eddy_000> !help i have having issues with PROFTPD not been able to configure /etc/proftpd/prftpd.confi   thank you
[21:01] <toumbo> May anyone can check my KDM.log file becauce I  did stupidity? http://pastebin.ubuntu-gr.org/m603fe1d2
[21:01] <noname120> !help what's the purpose of that cmd ?
[21:01] <thundx> yeah. and formatted as something which can handle a 80GB file
[21:01] <azertyl> there no information about clous OS on that link thundx
[21:01] <spacebug-> eddy_000: what problems?
[21:01] <moonshield> So there is only tor that can hide my a** for free? it can't even hide its own.
[21:03] <thundx> azertyl: the link is under development. try this instead: http://susestudio.com/
[21:03] <Kiryx> Hello
[21:03] <ssta> jola: cd <external drive somewhere>; dd if=/dev/sda1 bs=1M | split -b 3G - sda1
[21:04] <rhin0> how to find all ips on wireless network?  arp-scan doesn't work
[21:04] <jola> thundx, wtf, gparted says "unable to find mount point" but for the external drive!! /dev/sdb1
[21:04] <jola> I can view the files on it in the file manager though
[21:05] <thundx> ls /dev/sdb*
[21:05] <thundx> Hmm, I wonder if it mounted it under /media
[21:05] <jola> /dev/sdb  /dev/sdb1
[21:05] <jola> thundx, yes
[21:05] <jola> /media/TREKSTORE HD
[21:05] <Guest59506> Why does disk utility say this drive is mounted or is it http://paste.ubuntu.com/928519/
[21:05] <thundx> that's windows for you...always trying to do things for you.....
[21:05] <jola> err, /media/TREKSTOR HD
[21:05] <thundx> oh wait...this is linux
[21:06] <jola> so why can't gparted find the mount point? because it's mounted?
[21:06] <thundx> probably
[21:06] <moonshield> anyone?
[21:07] <compdoc> it says mount point Volume does not exist
[21:07] <thundx> whoever is responsible for Nouveau should be taken out and flogged. what a POS.
[21:07] <ssta> thundx: writing an nvidia driver is decidedly non-trivial...it's better than I could have done
[21:08] <thundx> well, we've only had Sandy Bridge for about a year now. I suppose we'll get support for it sometime in 2016
[21:09] <thundx> and Nvidia produces a driver. But the GPL crowd is too pure to just use it. Better to break every single distribution (except Gentoo) than support a binary driver /puke
[21:10] <ssta> you can just use the nvidia driver if you prefer (I do)
[21:10] <mraxilus> does nobody here have experience with notify-osd?
[21:10] <thundx> I do. Its just that I have to add "nouveau.modeset=0" in order to boot until I get that junk out of the kernel
[21:11] <ssta> well, it's irritating, but hadly the end of the world (a papercut if you like)
[21:12] <thundx> Gentoo has the only install/boot media that will boot without editing on this laptop. I can, literally, install OSX on this as a hackintosh faster than any linux version.
[21:12] <jola> thundx, I quit gparted, unmounted the external disk, started gparted, but now it's "Searching /dev/sdb partitions..." since minutes
[21:12] <thundx> USB?
[21:12] <jola> yes
[21:13] <thundx> hmmm...what does that under linux? dbus?
[21:13] <Guest59506> compdoc, http://paste.ubuntu.com/928530/
[21:13] <jola> no idea
[21:14] <compdoc> Guest59506, that means you are not using the command correctly
[21:14] <thundx> ooh, there's a tornado in Oklahoma
[21:14] <theborger> anyone noticed it takes a while for smb shares to show up after a reboot?
[21:15] <thundx> about 60 seconds? ;)
[21:15] <rbrooks> not rly
[21:15] <theborger> thundx: it takes longer then that here
[21:15] <ssta> theborger: it's because SMB is a really awful protocol that was dreamt up by a madman on some really bad drugs...
[21:16] <thundx> yeah, try CIFS instead
[21:16] <ssta> that's the same thing,. just rebadged and tweaked a bit :)
[21:16] <jola> thundx, what should I do, mount it and try to reformat?
[21:17] <_255> To correct jump a driver to Master do I need to use one or two jumpers?
[21:17] <ssta> _255: depends on the drive.  They're usually marked
[21:18] <ssta> been a while since I heard of needing to do that though...IDE is still used?
[21:18] <UbuntuBoy> Hello. :O
[21:18] <_255> ssta, mine got threee possible ways CS, SL and MA.
[21:19] <_255> ssta, I wonder if MA would be enough.
[21:19] <ssta> _255: MA sounds to me like it should be master
[21:19] <kasii> hi
[21:19] <kasii> a;ll
[21:20] <_255> What is happening here is weird because now I only have the CD-ROM when I boot the machine and it persists in showing me that error message : http://imagebin.org/207933
[21:21] <thundx> jola: if you don't need the data on the drive, then yeah that's what I would do
[21:21] <theborger> so what is the best option to share files between ubuntu/ubuntu?
[21:21] <compdoc> _255, youre booting a cd?
[21:21] <jola> thundx, I do need it
[21:21] <kasii> poplins, hi
[21:21] <jola> I don't want to lose any data
[21:21] <usuario> alex
[21:21] <usuario> como estas
[21:21] <jola> thundx, it doesn't mount :/
[21:21] <_255> compdoc, yes
[21:22] <compdoc> _255, what is that screen?
[21:22] <_255> compdoc, well it shows when I boot from cd-rom supposed to install Ubuntu. Now I have only one driver installed at this machine.
[21:23] <compdoc> _255, Ive never seen anything like that. I doubt its anything from an ubuntu install cd
[21:24] <_255> compdoc, have you ever tryed to install Ubuntu on a defective machine
[21:24] <ssta> it's a BIOS error imo
[21:24] <_255> ssta, well ,could be...
[21:24] <jola> thundx, ok, I mounted it successfully on /mnt, gparted doesn't complain anymore. can I create a new 85GB partition in the free space? is it contiguous?
[21:25] <compdoc> _255, try memtest86 - thats part of the boot cd
[21:26] <dougl> I have run boot-repair and can boot into ubuntu but now I cannot boot into my xp... grub list windows 7 that I installed xp over... how can I get grub to rescan my drive and configd for installed oses?
[21:27] <Guest59506> what does it mean mount: /media/New is not a block device
[21:27] <thundx> I don't know if you can. if gparted doesn't complain about make it without remmoving a partition then you should be ok
[21:28] <thundx> Guest: that means it is a character device :)
[21:28] <_255> compdoc, I am not currently able to boot from cd.
[21:28] <compdoc> Guest59506, does the directory /media/New  exist?
[21:28] <Guest59506> Great
[21:29] <compdoc> _255, time for some computer repair, huh?
[21:30] <jblp> .
[21:30] <Guest59506> compdoc, http://paste.ubuntu.com/928553/
[21:31] <compdoc> Guest59506, try:  sudo cd /media/New
[21:31] <jola> thundx, will removing the partition delete the data? can I remove the partition and create a new one over the old data?
[21:32] <ssta> jola: No...definitely not
[21:32] <ssta> jola: you will lose the data if you do that
[21:32] <jola> does fat32 support nested partitions?
[21:32] <ssta> no
[21:32] <jola> :(
[21:32] <ssta> fat32 barely supports files
[21:33] <Guest59506> compdoc, command not found
[21:33] <jola> ssta, what does it help me to have a copy of the unreadable partition though?
[21:33] <dbgster> can I add /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/ to my alias in a one-liner? or I have to edit my .profile or bashrc
[21:33] <ssta> jola: because it might be repairable...but before you start trying to repair it (a potentially destructive operation), you want a copy of it
[21:34] <compdoc> Guest59506, sorry, try just: cd /media/New
[21:34] <jola> ssta, ok, and after copying, should I try ntfsfix first or windows recovery disk?
[21:34] <ssta> jola: if it were me, I'd go with the windows disk
[21:35] <jola> and if that doesn't work, ntfsfix?
[21:35] <ssta> wortha  try
[21:35] <jola> ssta, and if that doesn't work, what should I do with the raw copy?
[21:36] <ssta> jola: learn about ntfs signatures and try to repair it...disk recovery is a tricky thing, there aren't often easy answers...
[21:37] <Guest59506> compdoc, why not New Volume?
[21:37] <jola> ssta, but I guess the driver didn't just corrupt the signature
[21:37] <ssta> jola: no way to know what happened with the information available.
[21:39] <compdoc> Guest59506, you named it New Volume? Then try: cd /media
[21:40] <compdoc> if thats sucessful, try:  ls -al
[21:40] <dougl> I used to edit menu.cfg and it was so simple to config boot loader - what happened... How can I configure grub with a windows xp option?
[21:41] <neutronium> hi leute
[21:41] <Guest59506> compdoc, I can get to /media but not New Volume
[21:41] <jblp> .
[21:41] <neutronium> wie gehts euch
[21:42] <compdoc> Guest59506, what does ls -al show?
[21:42] <zykotick9> Guest59506:try: cd "/media/New Volume" or cd /media/New\ Volume
[21:42] <Kanerix> Is he STILL unable to mount that drive?
[21:43] <compdoc> Guest59506, simpler not to use spaces in some names
[21:43] <magn3ts> What happened to my system? Something happened in the last two months. PulseAudio can't do a think right, and X is crashing all the time, and I'm pretty sure it's because of pulseaudio
[21:43] <magn3ts> a lot of times when flash or html5 are playing, I get crashes.
[21:44] <magn3ts> vlc constantly mutes and I have to close it to get it to work again
[21:44] <magn3ts> i got pops and beeps in my audio
[21:44] <magn3ts> and it didn't do this basically before 2012. :/
[21:44] <compdoc> computers do go bad
[21:44] <magn3ts> its a year and a half old
[21:45] <Guest59506> compdoc, maybe I should change the name http://paste.ubuntu.com/928568/
[21:46] <compdoc> Guest59506, cd to media, then ls -al from there. Dont cd to New
[21:46] <Kanerix> compdoc, maybe YOURs do, but mine live forever
[21:47] <compdoc> Kanerix, good luck with that
[21:48] <Kanerix> =D
[21:48] <Guest59506> compdoc, http://paste.ubuntu.com/928571/
[21:48] <compdoc> Guest59506, ah, you have two directories name New*
[21:50] <compdoc> Guest59506, the directory /media/new is owned by root, so you wont have permissions to do much there
[21:52] <dorin> goodmorning! can anybody help to unistall me webcam driver then to install it again?
[21:55] <Guest59506> compdoc, It's gone http://paste.ubuntu.com/928577/
[21:57] <compdoc> Guest59506, cool, but rename New Volume to New, or something without spaces, and you'll have less troubles, I think
[21:57] <Guest59506> ok
[22:02] <exutux> .
[22:04] <jola> ssta, but doesn't the option to repair windows on the windows recovery cd only search for a (broken) windows installation? that would mean, the partition has to be readable to start with
[22:07] <ssta> jola: yes, but not necessarily mountable...
[22:08] <jola> ssta, but how can the windows recovery cd read the disk if it has no ntfs signature?
[22:08] <jola> if it only repairs windows installs on ntfs disks
[22:10] <ssta> jola: part of what it can do for recovery is repair ntfs sigs (sometimes)
[22:10] <jola> ah
[22:11] <ssta> jola: you realise that all this will basically be a matter of luck.  You *may* be able to recover, or you may be hosed
[22:11] <jola> :(
[22:12] <ssta> jola: if you take a lesson from it (whether or not you can recover) it's "take backups of data I care about" :)
[22:12] <ssta> sorry I can't give you better news
[22:13] <jola> ssta, I know but all my disks are full
[22:16] <jola> ssta, hard disks are still not as cheap as before the flood in thailand
[22:19] <Guest59506> compdoc, guess what it worked
[22:20] <Guest59506> change the name that was so simple
[22:20] <compdoc> :)
[22:20] <Guest59506> thankh
[22:23] <jola> ssta, damn, I had irc logging turned off. I forgot: why do I need to create a new partition for the backup of the corrupted partition like thundx suggested?
[22:28] <ssta> jola: because recovery is potentially destructive and if you have a backup you can dd it back and try again
[22:29] <jola> ssta, but why not just create a 80GB file instead of creating a partition for this file?
[22:30] <ssta> jola: because the only place you had space was on a fat32 partition, and fat32 only handles 4G files
[22:30] <ResQue> jola: i think either would be fine. you best bet would be to use DD to copy the whole damage drive/parition (bit for bit) even the empty parts of the disk to a new drive. Then do the data recovery on the copy you just created.
[22:31] <jola> ssta, yes, but I also have an external ntfs disk, if I move stuff from there to the fat32 one and delete some stuff I might have enough space. and then I don't need to create a partition, right?
[22:31] <ssta> jola: right
[22:31] <jola> ok
[22:31] <ResQue> jola: that way if you fuck something up or overwrite some of the data of the copy you still have the original to do start again
[22:32] <jola> maybe I should also buy another external disk to be able to have multiple copies of that huge 80GB file
[22:32] <ResQue> jola: its not a great idea but if you are running low on disk space you could make a backup of the whole drive in to a single file, with heavy compression
[22:32] <jola> so in case I edit it and it doesn't work I don't have to wait hours until I've copied it again
[22:33] <ResQue> jola: i would suggest if you can afford to and the data is a valuble buy another drive to copy the data on to. but if you dont have the money you dont really have a choice do you
[22:34] <jola> ResQue, I've planned to buy a desktop PC soon (this is a laptop) and need a disk for it anyway. but it would be an internal one
[22:34] <jola> maybe I can buy an adapter to use the disk as an external disk for the laptop?
[22:35] <ResQue> jola: you can pick up a usb/ide to usb from most electronics stores now for about $40/£20
[22:35] <ResQue> sorry i mean IDE/SATA to USB
[22:37] <ResQue> jola: what happened to the data. did you reformat the drive? drop the laptop? how did the data get inaccessible
[22:37] <bunnyfun> can someone interprete this error/
[22:37] <bunnyfun> Xorg[1168]: segfault at 12 ip 00007fd57e1aa133 sp 00007ffff9855f00 error 6 in nvidia_drv.so[7fd57e109000+4cd000]
[22:38] <bunnyfun> am i correct  that this is an nvidia software problem?
[22:38] <ResQue> bunnyfun: sounds like the nvidia driver tried to access memory it was not supposed to . or something else accessed in memory address when it was not allowed to. so the kernal through a segfault to stop it
[22:38] <bunnyfun> or how can i identify error 6
[22:39] <jola> ResQue, after a BSOD some hours ago I couldn't boot windows anymore. grub said "error: no such device: B248C33048C2F261. error: no such disk". the BSOD said: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL [...] NDIS.SYS [...]. mount said "NTFS signature is missing."
[22:39] <bunnyfun> how can i resolve - coudl ti be a drive or ram issue?
[22:39] <jola> ResQue, I didn't drop the laptop. I was just writing an email in firefox when it suddenly happened
[22:40] <ResQue> jola: ndroal@189.70.60.209] has joined #ubuntu
[22:40] <bunnyfun> this machine does have two different kindss of ram
[22:40] <ResQue> jola: The IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error is caused by a buggy device driver or an actual hardware conflict --MS MSDN
[22:41] <ResQue> jola: i take it you have ubuntu installed, can you see the harddrive in ubunut?
[22:41] <EvilResistance> jola:  or via a livecd/liveusb, can you see the hard drive
[22:41] <EvilResistance> ResQue:  ^
[22:42] <ResQue> EvilResistance: jola: yes or a live cd
[22:42] <jola> EvilResistance, ResQue, I didn't install any new drivers, I don't know which one it could be. I have xubuntu installed. "fdisk -l" says about the partition "/dev/sda2   *        9729       19456    78140160    7  HPFS/NTFS". but I cannot mount the disk
[22:42] <EvilResistance> use gparted, not fdisk
[22:43] <ResQue> jola: are you in ubuntu now? have you tired to mount the hard drive from the terminal?
[22:43] <jola> gparted shows a (!)
[22:43] <theborger> someone point me to how to install alsa 1.0.24 on 10.10 with the 2.6.32-40 kernel?
[22:43] <jola> ResQue, yes
[22:43] <EvilResistance> jola:  right click the drive, hit "Information"
[22:43] <EvilResistance> or whatever it is...
[22:43]  * EvilResistance is on KDE, so doesnt have gparted
[22:43] <jola> ResQue, $ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt
[22:43] <jola> NTFS signature is missing.
[22:43] <jola> Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': Invalid argument
[22:43] <jola> The device '/dev/sda2' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
[22:43] <EvilResistance> sounds like partition explodification
[22:43] <EvilResistance> or cruption
[22:44] <jola> EvilResistance, "Unable to detect file system! [...etc..]"
[22:44] <EvilResistance> jola: yeah that's a problem, *potentially* disk corruption in that partition
[22:44] <leandroal> I'm trying to install an app that requires GLIBC 2.14, but my ubuntu 11.10 has glibc 2.13. I know that glibc is a system package and also that it is very complicated to update it. Is there any alternative to solve my issue? I mean, is it possible to have multiples glibc installed in my system and if yes, how can I install glibc 2.14?
[22:44] <jola> the results of years of work are on that disk, it's very important to me
[22:44] <ResQue> jola: before  you go into using any ubuntu tools to try and recover the parition. have you tried using the windows chkdsk tool yet? it should be on your windows install cd. xp/vista/7
[22:45] <Church> leandroal: best way would be to recompile just app
[22:45] <jola> ResQue, I moved to a new apartment today, I don't know where the windows install cd currently is
[22:45] <Church> another one might be ldpreload newer version libs
[22:45] <jola> (it's windows xp btw)
[22:46] <Church> jola: windows install cds are on pirate trackers %)
[22:46] <jola> Church, I know but I don't have any blank cds here now either
[22:46] <ResQue> Church: i think tracker would be enough
[22:46] <leandroal> Church, thanks, I don't have access to the source code.
[22:46] <zykotick9> !warez | Church
[22:46] <Church> zykotick9: sigh. it's joke. joke, ya know? :)
[22:47] <ResQue> jola: did you try booting in to safe mode on windows?
[22:48] <theborger> anyone?
[22:48] <MrUnagi> mount /dev/nbd0p2 /media/foo doesn't work in rc.local any idea why
[22:48] <jola> ResQue, it doesn't even let me far enough to do that
[22:48] <EvilResistance> !10.10 | theborger
[22:48] <ResQue> jola: a very good tool for recoving a currupted partition on windows is a tool called testdisk. but you really need to backup your data before you attempt this just in case. Its save me at lest twice after a bdos
[22:49] <soodida> hi everyone
[22:49] <EvilResistance> theborger: 10.10 is unsupported now, you *might* have to upgrade to 11.04
[22:49] <ResQue> jola: testdisk is a great terminal program you can use on ubunut
[22:49] <ResQue> ubuntu
[22:50] <jola> ResQue, ssta recommended copying the partition before doing anything destructive
[22:51] <ResQue> jola: sounds like a very good plan. every time you write to the disk you will lose more data
[22:52] <compdoc> backups are always best
[22:52] <jola> that's why I need to buy a new disk first
[22:53] <jola> probably the Seagate Barracuda
[22:53] <ResQue> i dont think there is any more i can help you with. until you get a drive to copy the data to
[22:54] <jola> yes, it's a really bad time now that I just moved in here and the semester starts on monday
[22:57] <MrUnagi>  mount /dev/nbd0p2 /media/foo doesn't work in rc.local Any ideas why
[22:57] <ResQue> jola: the error didnt happen to come up when you connected your laptop to a new network at your university did it?
[22:57] <warfaren> yeah, afaik rc.local doesn't do much on debian systems. i could be wrong though
[22:57] <warfaren> MrUnagi: i believe you're better off looking into adding that to /etc/fstab
[22:58] <warfaren> not that exact command, but the proper format for fstab
[23:00] <MrUnagi> warfaren: I cant add it to fstab because I have to mod probe nbd first
[23:00] <MrUnagi> Fstab tries to mount before rc.local does
[23:00] <MrUnagi> Er before rc.local modprobes
[23:00] <warfaren> okay, well anyways all the experiments i've ever done with rc.local have failed. it seems that the file is just a dummy on ubuntu and never gets run. it's only worked for me on redhat based systems
[23:00] <warfaren> feel free to prove me wrong, though. i'm by no means an expert
[23:00] <MrUnagi> The other two scripts fire fine
[23:00] <warfaren> they're in rc.local too?
[23:00] <MrUnagi> Yes
[23:00] <jola> ResQue, it happened a few hours after I connected my laptop to my neighbor's network who allowed me to access her wireless network temporarily. I noticed that often there were hickups in audio playback which in my experience always happened due to network connectivity issues, but I didn't get disconnected. and the BSOD happened after a few hours
[23:00] <MrUnagi> Is there any other way to run a mount script on log in
[23:00] <warfaren> oh, in that case i have no idea. sorry
[23:01] <warfaren> i guess you could always create a script in /etc/init.d? and add it with update-rc.d *scriptname* defaults?
[23:01] <warfaren> possibly... dunno if it's a good idea.
[23:01] <motherbrain> is there something I can download on linux machine that I can use to compile mk68 programs. I just don't want to go thru the trouble of building a cross compiler if I don;t have to
[23:01] <ResQue> ResQue: the reason i ask is because university networks are full of infected clients and a BSOD from NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification) could be due to something bad on the new network
[23:01] <MrUnagi> What issues would there be doing it that way
[23:02] <jola> ResQue, but yes, for my laptop it was a new network
[23:02] <ResQue> ResQue: not really a fix but its a starting place for a cause
[23:03] <ResQue> ResQue: if you cant wait and want access to your data i suggest downloading a tool called testdisk. as long as you dont recover any of the files it will happly scan and tell you what old partitions and files it has found.
[23:03] <X-tonic> I have ubuntu 11.10 . However I need to downgrade my gcc from 4.5 to 4.4. How do i go about this?
[23:04] <ResQue> ResQue: i think there may even be an option to recover files to a second drive but i can not remember if that was testdisk or one of the other 100s of recovery software tools for windows. either way testdisk will let you scan and view the files and paritions it finds on the drive.
[23:04] <ResQue> jola: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[23:05] <warfaren> MrUnagi: not sure if it will mean any issues. but i suppose it's worth a try. if it doesn't work just delete the script again or comment out the lines. i believe defaults will set it to run at your default runlevel
[23:06] <tlhonmey> I've got an 8gb flash card that I'm trying to recover data off of, but gparted reads it as unformatted 32mb.  dd stops reading at 32mb.  Is there another tool I should try?  Or is this thing probably toast?
[23:07] <ResQue> jola: other good place to start reading: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery You will need to do a few hours/days reading before you start the recovery any way. so why your waiting for your new drive its a good time to get up to speed on the proccesses and theory. it will 100% serve you well many times in the future
[23:10] <ResQue> EvilResistance: i am new to helping people on irc and writeing tutorials any feedback you can give me about the advice i gave to jola would be appreciated. i have received so much help from the net i thought i should starting giving some of the advice back
[23:11] <ResQue> tlhonmey: testdisk is a good start: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[23:12] <nikkie> Hello
[23:12] <nikkie> Random room poll!  Does anyone in here have NO aspirations at programming?  E.g., they just like linux for the functionality the OS provides?
[23:12] <wylde> !poll
[23:13] <ResQue> nikkie: no, but i have met a few people in the past year that use ubuntu as a novice user because they feel its safer and quicker than windows
[23:14] <tlhonmey> nikkie: I have several clients who are using a Linux desktop and who have no interest in anything other than word processing an internet access.
[23:14] <nositelicense> I just like to find my way around OS'S
[23:14] <booi> will there be an upgrade path from 12.04 beta to 12.04 gold?
[23:14] <wylde> booi: yes.
[23:14] <bastidrazor> booi: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will get you there when its released
[23:14] <nikkie> @tlhonmey @ResQue thanks for the responses.
[23:15] <booi> great. as longa s it doesn't trash my config files and make me edit xorg.conf

[23:16] <MrUnagi> Sight
[23:16] <MrUnagi> warfaren: That didn't work either
[23:16] <warfaren> :(
[23:16] <MrUnagi> Is there a way to modprobe nbd permanently
[23:16] <tlhonmey> ResQue:  testdisk recovers partitions and filesystems.  It detects it as 32MB as well.
[23:16] <warfaren> add it in /etc/modules?
[23:16] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[23:17] <warfaren> just add a line at the bottom of /etc/modules with the name of the module, that's all really
[23:17] <nositelicense> !neteven
[23:17] <ResQue> tlhonmey: is the partition not 32MB?
[23:17] <MrUnagi> Odd...
[23:17] <MrUnagi> Nbd is in modules
[23:18] <warfaren> with uppercase like that?
[23:18] <MrUnagi> Why cant fstab mount an nbd
[23:18] <MrUnagi> No
[23:18] <kayaman> autocad for ubuntu
[23:18] <tlhonmey> ResQue:  It's an 8GB micro-SD.  Gparted only reads it as 32MB total, no partition table.
[23:18] <warfaren> k. well that's weird. well anything that's in /etc/modules should be auto-modprobed.
[23:18] <kayaman> autocad for ubuntu
[23:18] <MrUnagi> Let me take out the rc.local and try
[23:18] <warfaren> try disabling your modprobe script and run lsmod after reboot to see if it was modprobed
[23:18] <kayaman> autocad for ubuntu
[23:18] <kayaman> autocad for ubuntu
[23:18] <bazhang> !appdb | kayaman
[23:19] <tlhonmey> ResQue: I was hoping there was an SD diagnostic program, but I've been unable to find one.
[23:19] <bazhang> !equivalents | kayaman
[23:19] <ResQue> tlhonmey: interesting, i do not know what to do sorry.
[23:19] <n2diy> How do I termine which audio device my sys. is using?
[23:19] <kayaman> ubottu, thanks
[23:20] <ResQue> tlhonmey: a good starting place would be to loook at how the linux kernel is seeing the drive. it maybe a hardware issue and not software. i am not sure how to do this try googleing around.
[23:20] <kayaman> ubottu, wasnt help fully
[23:20] <kayaman> ubottu, wasnt help fully
[23:21] <bazhang> kayaman, then ask a real question
[23:21] <MrUnagi> Ok NBC isn't the issue
[23:21] <MrUnagi> Er
[23:21] <MrUnagi> Nbd
[23:21] <kayaman> autocad for ubuntu or equivalent software
[23:21] <bazhang> kayaman, take a look at apt-cache search cad
[23:21] <tlhonmey> ResQue: I'm pretty sure it's hardware.  I'll keep looking for ways around the damage.  Thanks for the help.
[23:22] <n2diy> kayaman, qcad
[23:22] <warfaren> MrUnagi: alright. well i gotta go sleep. hope you work out the problem... good luck
[23:22] <kayaman> n2diy, is name
[23:23] <bazhang> kayaman, yes thats the package name
[23:23] <n2diy> kayaman, qcad is the apps. name.
[23:23] <MrUnagi>  qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 /media/1TB/NewHardDisk1.vdi is the problem
[23:23] <Viman> Hello, is anyone able to run the Midori Browser in Oneiric? I keep getting the "midori: symbol lookup error: midori: undefined symbol: webkit_web_view_get_selected_text" when I try to run it
[23:23] <warfaren> qemu? isn't that an x86 emulator?
[23:23] <MrUnagi> How can I permanently mount that vdi
[23:23] <n2diy> How do I termine which audio device my sys. is using?
[23:24] <StepNjump> Hi, why is it this doesn't work? find . -name "*.jpg" | xargs -i convert -scale 50% {} ./resized/{} ... I get the error : @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2498.
[23:24] <MonkeyDust> StepNjump  for a start, there's no /; in that line
[23:25] <StepNjump> MonkeyDust: you mean in ./resized/?
[23:25] <cchildress> hi all. i'm unable to get the grub boot menu to show up, so i can't pick my other OS. what should i do?
[23:25] <MonkeyDust> StepNjump  {} needs \;
[23:26] <Viman> hello, I'm having problems when trying to run Midori in Oneiric. Anyone else has it?
[23:26] <warfaren> cchildress: edit /etc/default/grub
[23:26] <warfaren> cchildress: comment out the line that says GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT by adding a # to the begging of the line, i believe
[23:26] <MonkeyDust> StepNjump  like so: find / -size +1G -exec ln -s {} ~/test/ \;
[23:26] <cchildress> warfaren: i have. i changed the quiet behavior to false
[23:26] <StepNjump> mmm MonkeyDust I followed a webpage: http://ubuntuhowtos.com/howtos/resize_folder_of_pictures
[23:26] <cchildress> warfaren: hmm...i may not have done that
[23:26] <warfaren> cchildress: then finally, run sudo update-grub
[23:27] <cchildress> ok i'll try that
[23:27] <warfaren> do it :)
[23:27] <cchildress> thanks for the tip
[23:27] <warfaren> no problem. i think that's how i did it
[23:28] <warfaren> cchildress: i think you may want to set HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET to true, if it doesn't work. at least that's what's in my config and i see the grub menu
[23:28] <cchildress> warfaren: not sure if it matters, but i do get an error message during grub.cfg generation, complaining about "wrong # of devices" in a raid set on /dev/sda
[23:28] <cchildress> although i don't have raid on this machine
[23:29] <n2diy> kayaman is bombarding me with pms, how can I stop him?
[23:29] <warfaren> cchildress: that's strange. not sure why it would say that then. no softraid either?
[23:29] <MonkeyDust> !pm
[23:29] <cchildress> warfaren: nope
[23:29] <javierf_> Hi! I'm using Ubuntu but files with greek characters are not read properly... do I have to install Greek language to be able to read it? How would I do that? Thanks!
[23:29] <warfaren> cchildress: maybe you should check it out on google before rebooting your machine, if you dont have a live cd ready
[23:30] <cchildress> warfaren: i do have a live cd, and i've gotten that error before
[23:30] <warfaren> cchildress: it could be hard to boot it if grub gets messed up you know
[23:30] <cchildress> warfaren: but fair warning
[23:30] <cchildress> see you folks in a bit...
[23:30] <n2diy> How do I termine which audio device my sys. is using?
[23:30] <warfaren> cchildress: alright, well i doubt it's related to you not seeing the grub menu. anyways should work now
[23:30] <warfaren> :(
[23:32] <jola> ResQue, I got disconnected after I said "[01:00] <jola> ResQue, but yes, for my laptop it was a new network". did you write anything?
[23:33] <stram> holy shit i've never seen so many homosexuals gathered in one chatroom in my life
[23:33] <nositelicense> Anyone know the work around for no Grub menu? I thought the new driver update might just fix it, but it didn't Been using bios boot choice for a while now.
[23:34] <nositelicense> I get video mode not supported before the grub menu
[23:35] <warfaren> i dont see how video drivers would affect that, dont think theyre even loaded'at the time of grub
[23:37] <nositelicense> That was my 1st thought *shrug* I reinstalled Grub and it finds Windows but I still don;t get the grub menu.  I have to F12 if I want windows
[23:38] <toraux_> any wireless experts able to help me with some wireless issues?
[23:39] <StepNjump> Can anybody help me with this error. Im trying to reduce a jpg size. Here's what I get back: convert: unable to open image `/resized/./Incident 120007.jpg':  @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2498.
[23:39] <Xabster> toraux_, how would the wireless expert know?
[23:39] <scientes_> gnome shell and unity dont work since i upgraded to 3.2.0-22
[23:40] <tlhonmey> nositelicense: grub is choosing a screen resolution that's not compatible with your monitor.  I'm not sure how to change the mode, but it should be covered in the documentation.  Set it to VGA 640x480, that should be compatible with just about anything...
[23:40] <toraux_> Xabster, touche... heres the problem: everything works fine right after I start the machine, but time later I get high packet loss, the issue goes away (for a little while) after a reboot
[23:40] <cchildress> warfaren: you, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. i can now choose what i want to boot, win7 boots great, the sky is blue and the world is a happy place again.
[23:40] <cchildress> well, at least at my house it is
[23:41] <warfaren> haha :) good to hear!
[23:41] <scientes_> !ot | cchildress
[23:42] <cchildress> scientes_: actually, i was just reporting back that the support warfaren gave me was correct and worked, but i get your point and will keep off-topic chat elsewhere :)
[23:42] <warfaren> scientes_: i think that was just his extended way of thanking me for my help :P
[23:42] <warfaren> lol
[23:44] <toraux_> anyone have any clue what my wireless issue might be caused by?
[23:44] <scientes_> oh, np
[23:48] <ev_> years ago i had a program that would display the images being loaded through the network.No info as to source of images. It was just a window with whatever images that where being downloaded(browsed via web mostly) Any ideas what it may be called?
[23:48] <MonkeyDust> ev_  picasa?
[23:49] <ev_> MonkeyDust: isnt that the google image deal? brb
[23:51] <ev_> MonkeyDust: nope, thanks for the try. This was more of an undground thing. Think i fist saw it on G4 like 5+ yrs ago. I know this is a shot in the dark but i have googled for like 2 hrs. I cant think of any other words to use....keep getting the same results
[23:56] <ev_> MonkeyDust: the images displayed in a collage format(if enough activity was happening on the network) this was a local network between the box's in my house
[23:58] <austin182> How do you root a Kindle Fire?
[23:59] <compdoc> google is your friend
[23:59] <bastidrazor> austin182: you the force luke
[23:59] <bastidrazor> use..
