[00:02] <pmp6nl> Hello all.  I am switching to Ubuntu server on one of my laptops for testing.  Is there a way to get wireless working?
[00:02] <onekenthomas_2> y,  there is :P
[00:02] <Tackeri> Logan: Thanks!
[00:02] <isaac_> Does anyone know why some mkv videos on ubuntu are all pixelated/blocky in some parts? I've tried ~5 different players. I've tried mplayer and mplayer2 nothing works. Windows it's fine.
[00:02] <Logan_> Tackeri: No problem.
[00:03] <i7c> isaac_: doesn't run on vlc either?
[00:03] <isaac_> Not vlc, either :/
[00:04] <isaac_> It corrupts at the same places across all the players
[00:04] <i7c> isaac_: you have your video card driver installed?
[00:04] <isaac_> so I assume it's a codec or something, but I'm pretty sure I have everything
[00:04] <isaac_> I think so, how can I check?
[00:05] <BBee_> hola
[00:05] <i7c> isaac_: eeehm, should be in the settings something called "Additional Drivers"
[00:06] <isaac_> Yeah, I have it.
[00:06] <isaac_> i7c, this is exactly the problem, btw. http://imgur.com/a/gBBNz pixelated and blocky like that
[00:07] <isaac_> While in windows, everything shows up correctly, so I know it's not hte video itself
[00:07] <i7c> oh i had something like that too, once on windows. no idea how i solved it. but i'm too pretty sure it's a codec issue
[00:07] <isaac_> But I have every codec there is :/
[00:07] <i7c> yeh maybe there is some config issue
[00:08] <i7c> those codecs have configs too, right
[00:08] <isaac_> That I've seen that places say I need :/
[00:08] <korn788> hello how do i make it so i don't premission every to i try to move a file or folder to /var/www/
[00:09] <ignoredthoughts> sudo
[00:09] <i7c> korn788: there are 2 ways. either you change the owner/rights of /var/www or you put a symlink in there, which is imho the better way
[00:10] <korn788> how do i symlink?
[00:10] <e0ne199> excuse me...
[00:10] <i7c> korn788: go into /var/www and then sudo ln -s /home/<username/someplaceforwebsite linkname
[00:10] <korn788> i want to change the permission of the whole file system
[00:11] <i7c> isaac_: i'm sorry, i don't know more to help you :/
[00:11] <magnuz> Hey
[00:11] <e0ne199> excuse me, i have a problem with my ubuntu 10.04...can you help me?
[00:12] <i7c> korn788: a link redirects to another directory. so you can put everythin in your homefolder and edit there but it will appear like it is in /var/www
[00:12] <i7c> e0ne199: just ak.
[00:12] <i7c> ask*
[00:12] <korn788> well ok then what about changing the rights
[00:13] <i7c> do sudo chmod ugo+rwx /var/www
[00:16] <korn788> it didn't work so what about changing my account to be the owner
[00:17] <i7c> korn788: why didn't it work?
[00:17] <korn788> because i still can't write to it without being root
[00:17] <korn788> and i need to be able to for phpbb3
[00:18] <i7c> what happened when you did sudo chmod .... ?
[00:19] <korn788> nothing no message
[00:19] <i7c> do namei -m /var/www     and post the line of www
[00:20] <korn788> f: /var/www
[00:20] <korn788>  drwxr-xr-x /
[00:20] <korn788>  drwxr-xr-x var
[00:20] <korn788>  drwxrwxrwx www
[00:20] <ubuntu_> hi guys im very new to this linux anyone mind giving me a quick hand?
[00:20] <ubuntu_> would be much appreciated
[00:20] <Logan_> !ask | ubuntu_
[00:20] <i7c> korn788: okay the rights are set correctly. you should be able to write in the dir. how do you notice it doesn't work? changing owner won't help. it's something else.
[00:20] <ubuntu_> thanks!
[00:21] <korn788> because phpbb setup told me it wasn't writable
[00:22] <ubuntu_> i have just installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS i seem to be having a problem loading it from my harddrive have dual booted. I am very inexperianced with linux as i havnt used it before but when i turn my computer on it isnt giving me the option to select the linux i have installed on the harddrive as is just jumping straight into windows 7. Anyone no how to resolve this problem?
[00:22] <i7c> korn788: try to do the chmod recursively
[00:22] <i7c> korn788: sudo chmod -R ugo+rwx /var/www
[00:22] <ubuntu_> :)
[00:24] <korn788> ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh IT WORKED!!! THANKS
[00:24] <i7c> korn788: you're welcome.
[00:24] <ubuntu_> anyone :)? i no its a simple answer just i have no idea about my way around linux yet so am struggling to solve the problem myself and cant fiddle as im just booting from the usb at the moment
[00:24] <Logan_> ubuntu_: 12.04 support is in #ubuntu+1.
[00:24] <korn788> damn it was bugging me all day
[00:24] <ubuntu_> ok! thanks :)
[00:24] <joejc> how do i modify the panel??
[00:24] <i7c> Logan_: mhm well that problem isn't so specific for 12.04, is it? :D
[00:25] <Logan_> ubuntu_: Actually, well, I guess that isn't really a 12.04-specific problem.
[00:25] <Logan_> Yeah.
[00:25] <korn788> ubuntu_ your trying to run linux but you go right into winows 7 right
[00:25] <Logan_> ubottu: You need to go into your BIOS.
[00:25] <ubuntu_> yeah
[00:25] <Logan_> Oh crap.
[00:25] <ubuntu_> :)
[00:25] <Logan_> ubuntu_: You need to go into your BIOS. :-P
[00:25] <ubuntu_> i see
[00:25] <Logan_> Check your boot order.
[00:25] <ubuntu_> well the boot order should be ok
[00:25] <ubuntu_> hm
[00:26] <korn788> how did you install ubuntu live or wubie
[00:26] <i7c> ubuntu_: if ubuntu installed the boot loader GRUB to the second harddrive it might matter.
[00:26] <ubuntu_> ive set it as usb then cd then the harddrive i have windows and linux installed on
[00:26] <ubuntu_> via usb
[00:26] <Logan_> ubuntu_: Oh, you installed it already?
[00:26] <ubuntu_> booted it from usb installed on  a harddrive partition
[00:26] <ubuntu_> yeah
[00:26] <Logan_> See what i7c said.
[00:26] <ubuntu_> from what i could gather it looked like a grub problem? but im not 100% sure
[00:27] <i7c> ubuntu_: you have linux and windows on different partitions of the same hd?
[00:27] <ubuntu_> yeah
[00:28] <i7c> ubuntu_: did you select/see something about where to put GRUB? (dont know exactly, haven't installed ubuntu in a while)
[00:28] <i7c> ubuntu_: it needs to be on the MBR of your hd
[00:28] <ubuntu_> i didnt see any GRUB options anywhere
[00:28] <ubuntu_> it didnt ask me anything about GRUB
[00:29] <joejc> how do i modify the panel? right click doesnt sem to work
[00:29] <i7c> ubuntu_: well i think you might install it know, afterwards. but i'm not expert at that. should be possible by loading the live session again and installing it tho
[00:29] <korn788> how did you install ubuntu
[00:29] <i7c> korn788: he wrote that already
[00:29] <korn788> oh yea
[00:30] <korn788> dont watch tv and give help at the same time
[00:30] <ubuntu_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[00:31] <ubuntu_> followed that guide
[00:31] <korn788> so you installed windows and linux from usb
[00:31] <korn788> i would have used wubie
[00:31] <ubuntu_> install ubuntu after windows part
[00:31] <ubuntu_> wubie better?
[00:31] <CamC> could somebody please help me with a mono upgrade?
[00:31] <gnul0ver> is using ubuntu server
[00:31] <Logan_> ubuntu_: Wubi is easier to set up.
[00:32] <ubuntu_> ill reformat and do it i guess
[00:32] <gnul0ver> installed gnome on ubuntu server
[00:32] <korn788> wubi and if you dont linux ubuntu then you can just uninstall it like any other windows app
[00:32] <sepoki> Does anybody here knows a good tutorial to learn shell script
[00:32] <CamC> I am running 10.4 with mono 2.4.4 and need to upgrade to 2.10
[00:32] <gnul0ver> i had to install Xorg on ubuntu server to make the gnome work
[00:33] <ubuntu_> i dont really want it to run via windows
[00:33] <ubuntu_> i want to dual boot
[00:33] <gnul0ver> CamC apt-get update
[00:33] <ubuntu_> it installed all fine from what i can see just wont let me boot into it
[00:33] <Logan_> CamC: mono 2.10 isn't in the repository for Lucid.
[00:33] <korn788> wubi does dual-botting
[00:33] <ubuntu_> skips it
[00:33] <korn788> booting*
[00:33] <gnul0ver> you need to be root
[00:34] <ubuntu_> ah brilliant
[00:34] <ubuntu_> ill try it out
[00:34] <ubuntu_> thanks guys ! :D
[00:34] <CamC> Logan_ do I need to add a new repository?
[00:34] <gnul0ver> yes it does korn
[00:34] <thespock> hey i was wondering what do you guys use for hosting?
[00:34] <ChaoticanarchyX> anyone know if ubuntu 11.10 64 bit has any problems with ATI Radeon 9200's?
[00:34] <korn788> no problem i use wubi for a long time till i got a pc for just linux
[00:34] <Logan_> CamC: According to the mono website, you can use a repository called Badgerports to get the newer version of mono in Lucid. One sec...
[00:34] <xangua> !ot | thespock
[00:35] <xangua> !anyone | ChaoticanarchyX
[00:35] <ChaoticanarchyX> or older ATI video cards?
[00:35] <korn788> my linux
[00:35] <korn788> box
[00:35] <korn788> is what i use
[00:35] <gnul0ver> ubuntu rocks
[00:35] <CamC> Logan_ thank you
[00:35] <korn788> but if your new to hosting anything it can be a pain
[00:36] <Logan_> CamC: sudo add-apt-repository http://badgerports.org/ && apt-get update
[00:36] <gnul0ver> anyone ever tried ubuntu in a cloud
[00:36] <bluemoon44> life is pain
[00:36] <korn788> if your on windows lol]
[00:36] <axisys> on dash first match some search can be invoked by enter.. how do I invoke the second match?
[00:36] <axisys> short from using mouse
[00:37] <Logan_> CamC: Once that's done, you should be able to upgrade to the newer version of mono through Update Manager.
[00:37] <joejc> how do i modify the panel? right click doesnt sem to work
[00:37] <axisys> s/some search/from search/
[00:37] <bigbrother_> bonsoir tout le monde !
[00:38] <gnul0ver> is running windows under xen on ubuntu server
[00:38] <xangua> joejc: try while holding Alt or Shift, what do you want to modify¿
[00:38] <trism> joejc: if it is the gnome-panel in 11.10, alt+right click or sometimes alt+super+right click
[00:38] <CamC> Logan_ I am running via putty shell, will Update Manager still work?
[00:39] <MrUnagi> !linode
[00:39] <Logan_> CamC: Then just do sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:39] <gnul0ver> oh yes. this isn't the linode room.
[00:39] <joejc> xangua, i want the clock to not be in the middle
[00:39] <CamC> I thought that Logan_ ok thanks
[00:39] <gnul0ver> linode is awsome
[00:40] <gnul0ver> though
[00:40] <CamC> *sorry (overtype), Thanks Logan_
[00:41] <TilelesBruto> Hello, everybody would like to know if you have to run GeoVision in a VM with Windows 7
[00:41] <gnul0ver> is anyone going for comptia linux +
[00:42] <xangua> (19:36:13) Logan_: CamC: sudo add-apt-repository http://badgerports.org/ && apt-get update - the full instructions are on the site itself  http://badgerports.org/
[00:42] <Logan_> Yeah, you'll probably need the key as well.
[00:42] <Logan_> sudo apt-key add <filename>
[00:42] <Logan_> You can download it here: http://badgerports.org/directhex.ppa.asc
[00:42] <CamC> ok looking now
[00:42] <Logan_> CamC: ^
[00:43] <Logan_> xangua: I gave him Terminal instructions since he's using a shell.
[00:43] <Logan_> xangua: The site doesn't appear to provide those.
[00:43] <wolfric> is there anyway to move a window to a different monitor like you're able to move them to different workspaces?
[00:44] <gnul0ver> no
[00:44] <gnul0ver> wolf
[00:44] <gnul0ver> the whole point is to use workspace
[00:45] <isaac_> i7c, OK, so using ffplay filename playes it with the correct colors and no pixelation! But, there's no gui :/
[00:45] <gnul0ver> to move around windows
[00:45] <isaac_> Any ideas?
[00:45] <massimo_> ciaoo
[00:46] <Pelis> anyone know how I can set my audio playback to my usb headset.. it is listed in hardware but not selectable as an output device
[00:46] <gnul0ver> are you root PElis
[00:46] <Pelis> gnul0ver:  No I am not root
[00:47] <gnul0ver> you might need to  be root
[00:47] <gnul0ver> to set permissions
[00:47] <i7c> isaac_: :-/
[00:47] <CamC> LOgan _ getting this error  ..  Error: 'http://badgerports.org/' invalid
[00:48] <Logan_> CamC: For which command?
[00:48] <CamC> Logan_^
[00:48] <gnul0ver> if im thinking what your thinking about
[00:48] <CamC> sudo add-apt-repository http://badgerports.org/ && apt-get update
[00:48] <Logan_> Logan_> sudo apt-key add <filename>
[00:48] <gnul0ver> ahhh yes the sudo command
 You can download it here: http://badgerports.org/directhex.ppa.asc
[00:48] <Logan_> CamC: ^
[00:49] <CamC> sorry I dont understand
[00:50] <gnul0ver> a key is a long string CamC
[00:50] <CamC> ok I see the veeery long string
[00:50] <CamC> what do I do with it
[00:50] <gnul0ver> cut and past
[00:50] <gnul0ver> and use the command
[00:51] <gnul0ver> sudo apt-key add
[00:51] <gnul0ver> it will ask for your password
[00:53] <wolfric> gnul0ver: i assume you meant no to me
[00:54] <gnul0ver>  yes
[00:54] <gnul0ver> you need a monitor splitter cord
[00:54] <gnul0ver> to use two monitor together
[00:54] <gnul0ver> adapter
[00:55] <wolfric> gnul0ver: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1414155 just found this

[00:59] <e0ne199> hello, can you help solve my problem?
[00:59] <hakkFaiF> what is your problem
[00:59] <hakkFaiF> e0ne199,
[00:59] <e0ne199>  hello again, btw  i have a problem with my ubuntu 10.04...this happened after upgrading my ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04....my partitions (except file system) always disappear and they can't be mounted from nautilus  whenever i open gparted or i don't plug my removable drive in first before booting...do you know how to solve it?
[01:00] <hakkFaiF> ok
[01:00] <hakkFaiF> setup external drive
[01:00] <hakkFaiF> slax
[01:00] <hakkFaiF> or puppy
[01:00] <e0ne199> ??
[01:01] <hakkFaiF> dont u know about these distros
[01:01] <e0ne199> hello?
[01:02] <hakkFaiF> ok
[01:02] <HappyPuppy> Hi ~ excuxse me ~~ my Firefox download list is always empty . what's wrong with it ?
[01:03] <hakkFaiF> list of what
[01:03] <e0ne199> btw do you know what is wrong on my system?
[01:03] <e0ne199> about that problem?
[01:04] <HappyPuppy> list of downloaded files .  the windows come out if you press Ctrl+Shift+Y
[01:04] <hakkFaiF> i think first is the stupid bootloader
[01:04] <hakkFaiF> they didnt fix grub console
[01:05] <isaac_> I have a problem, if I play a video using ffplay it plays correctly, but if I use MPlyaer, vlc, or etc the video is pixelated. I can't get subtitles to work with ffplay. The file is mkv, btw.
[01:05] <e0ne199> are you talking with me <hakkFaif>?
[01:05] <hakkFaiF> yes dude
[01:05] <foobArrr> gigabit ethernet, 1 ubuntu pc, 1 windows pc, windows share mounted on ubuntu. I can download from the windows pc with about 70MB/s, upload speed is only about 8MB/s though. what could cause that?
[01:07] <hakkFaiF> come quiry il tell u how to fix this shit
[01:07] <e0ne199> so the problem is on bootloader?
[01:07] <ohptlabs> foobArrr, not sure but i know my upload speed in the last twenty years has never been the same as my download speed no matter if its on a local ethernet or on the internet
[01:07] <pangolin> hakkFaiF, no cursing please
[01:08] <hakkFaiF> auch
[01:08] <e0ne199> btw my problem is actually about mounting my partition, how can it be connected to bootloader anyway?
[01:08] <hakkFaiF> is that a bot, fixing my language
[01:08] <ohptlabs> nope
[01:08] <pangolin> even if I was a bot you still are not allowed to curse in here
[01:09] <hakkFaiF> uuh
[01:09] <tome> Hi, can anyone point me to how Ubuntu (at least on amazon ec2) doesn't ask for a user password when the ubuntu user tries to sudo? I'm thought it would be in the sudoers file but I didn't see any NOPASSWORD
[01:09] <ohptlabs> tome: why would you have that sort of security risk?
[01:09] <foobArrr> ohptlabs: by factor 10? I doubt that. unless you're talking about adsl or something similar. anyway, upload was a lot faster yesterday.
[01:09] <tome> ohptlabs: that's the default setup, I'm trying to understand how they get it to occur
[01:09] <e0ne199> hello? :(
[01:10] <ohptlabs> tome: for the livecds i thought only
[01:10] <hakkFaiF> may i disterb someone excusite hearing?
[01:11] <ohptlabs> foobArrr, it was simply an observation, not a fact, im not all that good with hardware hacking, at least with computers
[01:11] <ohptlabs> tome: does man sudo have it listed towards the end?
[01:13] <markvm> hi
[01:13] <tome> ohptlabs: I don't see anything strange in man sudo output
[01:13] <ohptlabs> foobArrr, the one thing i can think of is perhaps the one can only read off the harddrive at around 10Mb, i know my non scsci drive is like that
[01:15] <tome> ohptlabs: I am new to Ubuntu, but I see references to old versus new sudo behavior
[01:15] <markvm> Strange stuff with my first dd experience. I did a dd of one partition of 500gb to the partition on the second harddrive that is 750gb, it worked but now in windows it shows up as the 500gb partition but i don't see the extra space, and in disk management it does not show up to use the remaning space?
[01:15] <tome> "Note that they will still require a password (thus giving you the normal behaviour you are so used to)."  from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers#Shutting_Down_From_The_Console_Without_A_Password
[01:15] <markvm> is that normal
[01:15] <foobArrr> ohptlabs: dd can read with 126 MB/s from that disk
[01:15] <ohptlabs> markvm, did you dd the one drive directly to the other?
[01:15] <tome> ohptlabs: but somehow there is that ubuntu user, perhaps specially treated in Ubuntu EC2 distro?
[01:15] <markvm> no the partition on the drivesd
[01:16] <ohptlabs> tome: try man sudoers, there are alot of options there
[01:16] <markvm> dd if=dev/sdc1 of=/dev/sdb1
[01:16] <markvm> like that
[01:16] <markvm> sdc1 is 500GB and sdb1 was 750gb
[01:17] <ohptlabs> markvm, thats why
[01:17] <markvm> now the 750gb drive is just a 500GB partition but i can't see the extra space in windows
[01:17] <Sonic132> Ok guys I got a Grub issue. I decided to go back to Windows Only until the latest Ubuntu is released. But when I deleted the Ext4 partition. It stopped booting entirely (dumb noob mistake). How do I fix it?
[01:17] <foobArrr> it's not a smb issue, openssh-server + winscp gets the same 8MB/s :/
[01:17] <Sonic132> Furthermore, now I got 'grub rescue' prompt
[01:18] <ohptlabs> markvm, you wanted to dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=/mnt/sdb1
[01:18] <escott> Sonic132, boot a windows repair disk and fix the windows mbr
[01:18] <tome> ohptlabs: to clarify: I'm trying to understand what Amazon's EC2 setup does to get their default 'ubuntu' user to be able to sudo without a password. Looking at /etc/sudo, there is a root = ALL(ALL:ALL) ALL    and  %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL  [of which ubuntu user is a member] but none of those specify NOPASSWORD
[01:18] <Sonic132> escott: Would that be a 'Repair Install'?
[01:18] <tome> (that is, /etc/sudoers, typo)
[01:18] <ntr0py> Anyone here got typo3 4.5 LTS working with php5-pgsql?
[01:18] <escott> Sonic132, you can find images online
[01:18] <ohptlabs> tome, that could be because the password for the user is a null string?
[01:19] <escott> Sonic132, http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-a-system-repair-disc
[01:19] <Sonic132> escott: I have a disc. Just wanted to clarify whether it was a Repair Install.
[01:19] <tome> ohptlabs: It looked like it was disabled with passwd -l, but I"ll double check again.
[01:19] <escott> Sonic132, also http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/
[01:19] <ohptlabs> tome, the only sudo ive ever been able to do with outa password is on livecds
[01:19] <Sonic132> escott: Ah...yeah it's a little late for that as the disc burner is on the system in question.
[01:20] <tome> openvoid: do you know how livecd achieves that no-password sudo?
[01:20] <escott> Sonic132, burn it on another system
[01:20] <Sonic132> escott: My other system doesn't have a burner.
[01:20] <escott> Sonic132, boot a linux liveusb and download/burn a windows disk then
[01:21] <tome> ohptlabs: the /etc/shadow for ubuntu has a second field as !<chars> so I believe that is not blank, but disabled.
[01:21] <escott> Sonic132, or just ask someone local to make you one
[01:22] <Sonic132> escott: Thanks for your help so far. Is it possible to fix it from a Mint Live Disc? So that the bootloader (grub) will work again? Because from what I understand grub was on the partition I deleted.
[01:22] <ohptlabs> tome,  i don't anymore, but i know i used to so it can't be too difficult, though i really thought it was something in the sudoers file
[01:24] <escott> Sonic132, all you really need is to boot windows once and then you can fixmbr. inside windows. so reinstall linux so as to get grub back on the mbr, boot to windows and fixmbr there. then remove linux. alternately you can play around in the grub menu to try and get the chainloading commands correct
[01:24] <isaac_____> How do I use subtitles with ffplay?
[01:25] <ohptlabs> tome, glancing through the man page of the sudoers file i noticed that NOPASSWD is an option
[01:25] <Sonic132> escott: I think that was the way I should have done it. But I just skipped straight to remove the partition that had linux (and grub).
[01:26] <escott> Sonic132, try set root='(hd0,msdos#)' then chainloader +1 and boot that. for different values of #
[01:26] <tome> ohptlabs: but that is not used on the ec2 instance
[01:26] <Sonic132> escott: Type that into grub rescue?
[01:26] <tome> openvoid: I pasted the amazon ec2 sudoers lines above... it does give ALL(ALL) ALL to admin which ubuntu belongs to, but that still should ask for a password
[01:27] <escott> Sonic132, you can try. not sure if it will work, but you can try. end of the day its path of least resistance/how long you want to try things
[01:27] <ohptlabs> tome, yeah i'm not really sure as i dont have that to play with
[01:28] <tome> ohptlabs: thanks for your input. Something funky is going on, I will find it : )
[01:28] <yasaswi> hi
[01:29] <Sonic132> escott: Tried it and am rebooting. Will let you know.
[01:30] <tome> ohptlabs: I'm an idiot : ) they have a local file in sudoers.d
[01:30] <tome> which of course uses NOPASSWD
[01:30] <tome> sigh
[01:30] <ohptlabs> ^_^
[01:30] <kolly> are ubuntu spin-offs allowed for discussion here? eg Zorin0s
[01:30] <tome> tab completion didn't work the same (on my machines it shows a list, on this machine it just stopped at the directory, so I thought it was empty)
[01:31] <Sonic132> escott: It's giving me an 'error: no such device...'
[01:31] <Sonic132> escott: Any command to give me a list of devices. Then I can redo your command with the devices corrected.
[01:31] <GH0> Hello, I seem to be having some issues with my newly installed server. When I go to connect to it/ping by hostname, it fails to give a response. Pinging/connecting to the ip address works fine. Bind9 is installed on the machine itself, and ufw is currently disabled. How can I get the machine to respond to pings by it's hostname? The /etc/hostnames file is currently listed with a 127.0.0.1
[01:31] <GH0> localhost 127.0.1.1 server
[01:32] <GH0> Fudged that file name a bit. /etc/hosts :)
[01:32] <escott> Sonic132, i think ls lists devices and partitions
[01:33] <GH0> I have been googling for an answer, but of all the pages that I pulled up, everyone's answer was to add a entry to the local machines hosts file to point to the device, or use Static DHCP on a router. Which neither of those are feasible.
[01:33] <GH0> I am also not part of a domain so I can't setup BIND as the master DNS Server either.
[01:33] <escott> kolly, as a general rul the ones with ubuntu in the name yes, the ones without no
[01:33] <Sonic132> escott: Yeah 'ls' worked. hd0 is valid but there is also 'hd0,msdos1'.
[01:34] <Sonic132> escott: There are several with msdos attached to them actually.
[01:34] <escott> Sonic132, that just means its an msdos partition type (as opposed to gpt) not that it *is* msdos
[01:35] <Sonic132> escott: I think I'm going to go find a Windows disc. This is going to probably get totally trashed if I keep screwing around with it.
[01:35] <RageGer> maybe anyone would help me, i do a ls on a /home/sites/ which contains some folders named after the domain. now i want to ping every single hit only once to see which ipadress the bound to, how i can do this?
[01:35] <escott> Sonic132, you cant hurt anything by trying to chainload partitions
[01:35] <Sonic132> escott: Oh I think I see.
[01:35] <chen> join #ubuntu-cn
[01:35] <escott> Sonic132, the only thing you can hurt this way are your fingers trying to do the typing
[01:36] <Sonic132> chen: You forgot the / before join
[01:37] <ntr0py> Which postgres php module would i need for typo3 "Typo3 Installation Error: The following PHP module(s) is/are missing: one of: (mysql,mssql,oci8,postgres,odbc_mssql)"?
[01:37] <ntr0py> php5-pgsql wont work
[01:38] <Sonic132> escott: Ok once I enter the command you suggested with varying #. Do I reboot? Because it's sitting there with a '>' and a flashing cursor.
[01:40] <jones> backlog
[01:41] <holmser> I have been following this tutorial for setting up NFS shares http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html
[01:41] <holmser> tutorial has been completed, I can mount the shares on the server
[01:41] <escott> Sonic132, you have to type something to make it boot that set of commands
[01:42] <escott> Sonic132, i generally dont bother to mess around in the grub interactive menu
[01:42] <escott> Sonic132, maybe the command is "b" not sure
[01:42] <holmser> Unfortunately now I am only able to view the 2 subfolders in the mounted directory, and none of the files
[01:42] <holmser> any idea what could cause this?
[01:42] <Sonic132> escott: Well it's not an interactive menu. It tells me nothing until I enter something. Then 99% of the time it tells me it's not a valid command.
[01:43] <Sonic132> escott: Kind of like DOS
[01:43] <celthunder> holmser: permission issue?
[01:43] <holmser> celthunder: I'm not sure what my permissions need to be for nfs share to work properly
[01:43] <holmser> I'll try 777
[01:43] <JonEdney> brb
[01:43] <RageGer> do there exists any shellscript channel?
[01:44] <holmser> permissions are already 777
[01:44] <celthunder> holmser: 777 is usually not recommended
[01:44] <celthunder> RageGer: yes probably there are plenty of scripts/channels for shells
[01:44] <holmser> not too worried about it at the moment, these machines get wiped once a month or so
[01:45] <Sonic132> Anyone know grub rescue commands to allow me to boot to Windows after deleting /grub and the entire linux partition?
[01:45] <escott> Sonic132, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[01:46] <Sonic132> escott: Was reading that and getting information overload. Didn't seem to have much to help with grub rescue commands.
[01:47] <yakster_> hello all… general ubuntu question…. what would cause audio to sometimes work and other times not?
[01:47] <Sonic132> escott: Also, it says the grub folder must exist and contain the proper files. Which is does not.
[01:48] <escott> Sonic132, i think the whole rescue boot prompt is rather useless. just "be prepared" and keep a linux live usb on hand
[01:48] <Sonic132> escott: Ok thanks.
[01:51] <sacarlson> anyone have a link to booting an iso from grub2 with a menu entry for ubuntu 11.10 32bit,  I just tried this http://www.panticz.de/MultiBootUSB and it tells me it can't find the file
[01:52] <sacarlson> it must be this it doesn't like: linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/iso/ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso noeject noprompt
[01:52] <rbrooks> grub2 boots isos
[01:53] <xangua> sacarlson: have you tried multisysem¿ i use it on my usb stick http://liveusb.info/dotclear/
[01:53] <xangua> easier to set up, got al ubuntu flavors and other distros easily
[01:53] <rbrooks> ubuntu isos it needs the grubconf which is in /boot
[01:54] <rbrooks> or that
[01:54] <hello2u08> i need some help with a problem
[01:54] <[Relic]> any disk cleaning util that shows progress?  I want to switch file systems but I want to purge and clean the whole drive before I do that
[01:55] <hello2u08> my problem is that i got the PPPOOOOFF effect while enabling cube view in ccsm, but now it won't let me reinstall unity
[02:00] <hello2u08> hello?
[02:01] <BryanRuiz> i broke my sudo with no password by using the command "sudo usermod -G whatever bryan" now im not sure how to fix?  any ideas?  I already tried adding myself to EVERY group
[02:02] <tome> BryanRuiz: what is the result you want to achieve?
[02:02] <BryanRuiz> tome: to use sudo with no password
[02:02] <escott> BryanRuiz, boot a livecd or boot the rescue system and then usermod -a -G admin bryan
[02:03] <escott> BryanRuiz, if you got the livecd route you have to chroot in
[02:03] <BryanRuiz> escott: "groups" shows im already in admin
[02:04] <escott> BryanRuiz, and sudo doesn't work for you?
[02:04] <BryanRuiz> sudo works
[02:04] <BryanRuiz> escott: sudo with no password is broken now
[02:04] <BryanRuiz> escott: even though i have an entry in my sudoers
[02:04] <BryanRuiz> im not sure how i broke it
[02:05] <escott> BryanRuiz, then you must have removed yourself from whatever "no password" sudo group you had set up
[02:05] <BryanRuiz> escott: i thought .. hm
[02:05] <escott> BryanRuiz, thats not a default config option, so its something you must have added
[02:05] <BryanRuiz> escott: i thought i set up by user
[02:06] <hello2u08> i fixed my problem myself, thanks for the help
[02:06] <jjgalvez__> does anyone know if gnome-shell has its own openGL settings like compiz does? (I know I should probably ask specifically about mutter)
[02:06] <BryanRuiz> escott: my sudoers http://pastebin.com/rt82ZsS3
[02:08] <BryanRuiz> think i fixed it escott
[02:08] <BryanRuiz> thanks
[02:08] <Ghil> Hey there!
[02:08] <BryanRuiz> crap. nope
[02:09] <escott> jjgalvez__, what do you want to see in those settings?
[02:10] <BryanRuiz> got it
[02:10] <BryanRuiz> phew
[02:10] <Ghil> could someone please help me for a second? I'm trying to install Ubuntu (latest beta) using the liveCD..and the LiveCD, while booted, display a blank screen. is there anyway to work around that?
[02:10] <[fields]> I don't seem to have sound.  But my motherboard has headphone inputs at both back and front of the box.  I see nothing when I type this at terminal: lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio"
[02:10] <xangua> !pangolin | Ghil
[02:11] <escott> !precise | Ghil, but its probably !nomodeset
[02:11] <jjgalvez__> escott: just wondering about sync settings. I know that Compiz has separate config options for this, just wondering if there is something similar in gnome-shell
[02:11] <Ghil> nomodeset?
[02:11] <Ghil> I'm sorry, I've been away from linux for a while now.
[02:11] <escott> !nomodeset | Ghil
[02:12] <Ghil> Thank you so much.
[02:12] <Ghil> now on to read, install, and come back here :P
[02:12] <Sonic132> Ok I'm back. The Windows Disc idea failed. So I am runnning from a Mint Live Disc. How do I go about installing Grub from here?
[02:13] <escott> Sonic132, just install a minimal mint, thats the easiest thing to do, otherwise you have to mess around with lots of things to create the partitions and set them up
[02:14] <triscuit> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair sonic
[02:14] <Sonic132> escott: What's the bare minimum then? Mind you, it's KDE Mint. Lost my Gnome disc.

[02:20] <Shape> Hello! Can I install Gnome 3 on Ubuntu 11.10? Are there any bugs or is it a straightforward process?
[02:20] <escott> Shape, sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
[02:20] <Shape> escott: and that's it?
[02:20] <xangua> Shape ubuntu oneiric already uses gnome3, 3.2 exactly
[02:20] <xangua> !nounity | Shape if you mean gnome-shell
[02:22] <Shape> Yes, I meant Gnome shell. Thanks a lot guys!
[02:22] <Shape> is it necessary to install he gnome-tweak-tool? or will it run by itself after I install it?
[02:23] <gdm__> I tryed to change gdms login background and now I autologin as the user gdm
[02:24] <civixier> hi guys. I just bought myself a ux21e and installed lubuntu in it. I have noticed that it has some heat issues, even after I have done everything I can to reduce the temp. So far the idle temp is somewhere inbetween 55-60C. I want to underclock my cpu, but it already is at the limit. Theoretically, what could happen if I lower the frequency from 800mhz to 700mhz even though the limit is 800mhz?
[02:24] <civixier> will cpufreq even allow it?
[02:25] <escott> civixier, you would usually undervolt in that situation as well, but that would require some kind of bios support
[02:25] <bobo37773> civixier: I think cpufreq is capable of this.
[02:26] <[fields]> I have onboard sound, but ubuntu doesn't seem to see a sound device, can anybody help?
[02:26] <bobo37773> civixier: It may be problematic though. I say just stick with "ondemand"
[02:26] <escott> civixier, you might want to look at powertop
[02:26] <[fields]> I am curently upgrading to 11.10, hoping it may resolve my audio problem.
[02:27] <civixier> escott: I looked around in the bios for this, but I couldnt find anything about it =/ I stumbeled upon powertop when I googled for solutions and it looks interesting :)
[02:28] <civixier> bobo37773: problematic like I can permanently damage my computer or problematic as it will go away after a reboot?
[02:30] <Shape> !nounity
[02:32] <Shape> !firewall
[02:32] <Shape> !uninstall programs
[02:33] <Sonic132> escott: Installing Mint now. I feel like the problem is finally almost solved.
[02:34] <jo-erlend> I could really use some help with a serious issue. Windows really broke my md RAID. I added a question on AU: http://askubuntu.com/questions/122155/windows-broke-my-md-raid-unknown-raid-level-1000000
[02:34] <Shape> How Do you completely install ufw? sudo apt-get uninstall ufw?
[02:35] <Shape> sudo apt-get remove ufw ?
[02:35] <bobo37773> test
[02:36] <bynw> Shape: i think ufw is installed by default, so yes you can remove it via apt-get or symantic or other package managers
[02:36] <bobo37773> civixier: Well. It wouldn't go away after a reboot unless you changed the config file back. I doubt it would do permanent damage to your machine though. That temp may not be abnormal. Not all computers are the same. My last computer (hp (I have come to despise hp)) ran from 65-80c all the time. Which governor are you using?
[02:36] <Shape> bynw: indeed it is. I just want to install iptables.
[02:36] <wahben> hey guys, I was experiencing HD problems, so I installed a new HD. Now I am trying to move my Windows to the new HD, from Linux. I created a new partition with fdisk and dd /dev/sdc1 /deb/sdb1 , all that worked. I also tried to copy the MBR with dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdb bs=446 count=1
[02:37] <wahben> but os-prober fails to find the new installed windows.. why?
[02:37] <deadsoul> Hello
[02:37] <Shape> !torrent
[02:37] <bobo37773> deadsoul: hello
[02:38] <wahben> oh crap I think I found out why... Windows 7 has a boot partition.. which I failed to copy
[02:38] <wahben> well.. tahnks for your help yall!
[02:38] <Shape> wahben: Good to know!
[02:39] <Shape> wahben: If I ever encounter the same thing I will have you to thank!1
[02:39] <wahben> Shape cheers!
[02:41] <austin182> I am building a new rig, how much should I spend on a graphics card? any suggestions?
[02:42] <bobo37773> How to clone tty output to external monitor? Is there an xrandr alternative for console output?
[02:43] <Shape> austin182: Depends what you use it for. Any gaming or graphics design that you do?
[02:44] <austin182> I want to use Adobe Illustrator Cs5 and Flash
[02:46] <Shape> austin182: Sorry, I have no experience with those programs and I don't know how much they require.
[02:46] <bobo37773> austin182: A lot :p Eh my requirements when I was shopping was --  1) nvidia   2) ddr5   3) at least 1gb            I have been pretty happy so far.
[02:47] <austin182> Oh its okay, but yes I want to do graphic design...so how much should I spend?
[02:49] <austin182> Okay sounds good! Its hard to build a PC on budget
[02:50] <ghil> And back. Thank you again for the help, it worked wonderfully :)
[02:53] <MrUnagi> Oh that sinking feeling when you restart a remote computer......and it doesn't come back online
[02:54] <ghil> oh -_-
[02:54] <jola> how much watts do I need for a i5 2500k with 16gb ram and no gfx card (for now)?
[02:54] <MrUnagi> Is there a way to have openssh kick on sooner so if a restart hangs I cam figure out why?
[02:55] <austin182> I love Linux it brought my $20 PC back to life!

[02:57] <ghil> I'm accessing it, and I'm in Quebec.
[02:57] <test_> i can in ontario
[02:58] <MrUnagi> I can in Ohio
[02:58] <songxk> which verison is easy to use
[02:58] <keithclark> hmmm...I have no access at all from any of my computers.  I cannot access www.skype.com from any browser.
[02:58] <songxk> keithclark  are you in chinese?>
[02:59] <keithclark> ?
[02:59] <MrUnagi> keithclark: Try the ip
[02:59] <keithclark> MrUnagi, and the ip is?
[02:59] <keithclark> I can ping it fine
[02:59] <songxk> we can  not browser too many sites in china
[03:00] <songxk> it is  so harmonious
[03:01] <MrUnagi> Does ping not return the ip?
[03:01] <MrUnagi> keithclark:
[03:01] <Shape> keithclark: I can and I'm in Vancouver
[03:02] <Shape> !firewall
[03:02] <Shape> !antivirus
[03:02] <keithclark> MrUnagi, Ok, I've tried the ip at http://204.9.163.248/ and still no access.  Just times out
[03:03] <MrUnagi> Odd
[03:03] <Shape> !codecs
[03:04] <Shape> !nvidia
[03:04] <keithclark> MrUnagi, It sure is.  Every other site I try works fine
[03:04] <MrUnagi> keithclark: Ipconfig /flushdns
[03:04] <Shape> !motherboard
[03:04] <Shape> Do I need motherboard drivers and other drivers like in Windows?
[03:04] <Shape> Or just the graphics driver?
[03:04] <keithclark> MrUnagi, ipconfig?
[03:05] <MrUnagi> Yea ipconfig /flushdns
[03:05] <MrUnagi> Then try
[03:05] <xangua> !msgbot | Shape
[03:05] <xangua> you start to flooding the channel :/
[03:05] <keithclark> MrUnagi, ipconfig:  No command found
[03:05] <MrUnagi> Hmmm
[03:05] <Shape> xangua: thanks!
[03:06] <bobo37773> MrUnagi: ipconfig? hahahaha
[03:06] <matt_> I'm having trouble accessing samba shares, it always fails to get the file list, but it works fine on other machines, any ideas what's wrong?
[03:06] <MrUnagi> Omg
[03:07] <bobo37773> hehe
[03:07] <MrUnagi> Oh I hate myself
[03:07] <delac> I installed broadcom STA drivers through jockey, and first the wlan worked correctly but after restart it was disabled. Doing rmmod ssb and modprobe wl, the wlan starts to work again. So the problem is that the right kernel modules do not "stick". Any help?
[03:08] <keithclark> MrUnagi, bobo37773, and the command is?
[03:08] <MrUnagi> keithclark: Apparently ubuntu doesnt cache dns so forget that
[03:08] <MrUnagi> bobo37773: Thatll be 27 lashings for me
[03:08] <bobo37773> :p
[03:09] <bobo37773> keithclark: I can access that ip here. Must be a dns issue or something.
[03:09] <MrUnagi> I further realized why I despise windows when I tried to set up smb over Ssg for my dad
[03:09] <MrUnagi> Ssh*
[03:09] <MrUnagi> You have to modify the driver, add ip addresses, this, that blah, what?!
[03:09] <keithclark> bobo37773, odd it just is happening with that site just to me.
[03:09] <MrUnagi> keithclark: Restart?
[03:09] <matt_> I want something similar to Samba shares on my Ubuntu box, but better for linux, what are my alternatives?
[03:10] <keithclark> MrUnagi, no,all my machines are the same
[03:10] <bobo37773> keithclark: Hmm. Try a different dns server. Like google or something
[03:10] <MrUnagi> keithclark: Restart router
[03:10] <bobo37773> this ^^
[03:10] <MrUnagi> matt_: What features
[03:10] <MrUnagi> Do you want
[03:10] <keithclark> but for just that site????  It makes no sense to me
[03:10] <MrUnagi> Nfs good locally for speed
[03:11] <bobo37773> keithclark: can you ping the ip?
[03:11] <austin182> Is their a alternate program to Adobe Flash?
[03:11] <keithclark> bobo37773, yes
[03:11] <MrUnagi> Sftp is good remotely
[03:11] <matt_> MrUnagi: basically, I just want to be able to watch movies or listen to music from my main computer on any other computer (assume non are running windows)
[03:11] <bobo37773> keithclark: packets all going through?
[03:11] <keithclark> bobo37773, yes
[03:12] <bobo37773> keithclark: hmm. That is a strange one. Do you use networkmanager?
[03:12] <MrUnagi> Matt nfs
[03:12] <keithclark> bobo37773, I have no idea
[03:13] <MrUnagi> matt_: Nfs but im also partial to afp
[03:14] <ndhawan> hi
[03:14] <austin182> Is there a alternate program to Adobe Flash??
[03:14] <MrUnagi> austin182: Silver light?
[03:15] <bobo37773> keithclark: It almost definitely a dns issue. Unplug your modem (remove the battery if relevant) and unplug your router and then plug them back in. Or you can try using a different dns server like google or something to test pretty sure it is 8.8.8.8
[03:15] <chen>  /join #ubuntu-cn
[03:15] <austin182> Well like a open source?
[03:15] <keithclark> bobo37773, I will try.  Odd though that just that particular address
[03:15] <matt_> MrUnagi: thanks, looking into NFS
[03:15] <matt_> MrUnagi: any idea if that's accessible with Android devices?
[03:16] <MrUnagi> Probably
[03:16] <MrUnagi> But if you want portability I'd stick with smb
[03:16] <MrUnagi> Or you can do multiple
[03:16] <bobo37773> keithclark: not really that odd if you think about it. The sites you visit regularly may have the dns information cached in your router or something.
[03:17] <MrUnagi> matt_: Will the android be connecting inside or outside the netowrk
[03:18] <matt_> MrUnagi: inside
[03:19] <Urge4Vert> Anyone here have any experience with LIO and targetcli?
[03:20] <ZenGuy311> what are some cool projects i can try or run on a vps?
[03:21] <fellayaboy> how do u update a .conf file..or in other words apply what u just wrote in a .conf gile...i believe its source whateverfile.conf
[03:21] <zerobyte> fellayaboy restart the daemon
[03:22] <bobo37773> keithclark: Have you eliminated the browser as an issue? Are you running a lot of plugins or anything? Not sure if Ubuntu uses nscd but if it does this should flush your dns --->   /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart   (as sudo / root)
[03:23] <fellayaboy> where are daemons usually stored..im very ignorant
[03:23] <ghil> There. Everything's set up (almost, Xinerama hates me -_- ) and woah, Ubuntu has changed a lot since 7. o.O
[03:23] <bobo37773> fellayaboy: It depends on the application.
[03:23] <bobo37773> ghil: Nice.
[03:23] <fellayaboy> pptpd
[03:24] <ghil> 40 minutes for everything to be set up? that's insanely nice.
[03:24] <keithclark> bobo37773, ok, modem and router restarted.  Still no luck
[03:25] <bobo37773> keithclark: You restarted computer too right?
[03:26] <ghil> I was about to ask where where the window options...then I noticed it got appleified. :P
[03:26] <keithclark> bobo37773, yup
[03:26] <bobo37773> keithclark: Dumb question --> Are you running a firewall or an ipblocker?
[03:26] <sp3ck> fellayaboy: sudo /etc/init.d/pptpd restart 
[03:26] <keithclark> bobo37773, nope, every other site works
[03:27] <sirriffsalot> Hello!
[03:28] <bobo37773> keithclark: Hmm. No firewall means it must be your dns. There is no other conclusion to come too. You should have an icon for your network connections. Right click on it and go to "Edit Connections..."
[03:28] <sirriffsalot> I have great talent in screwing my computer up... Long story short I need to save some files from my encrypted home folder via a live CD, anyone got ideas on how to do this?
[03:29] <sirriffsalot> Tried a few things from googling the matter but nothing has worked so far
[03:29] <keithclark> google dns is again?
[03:29] <rbrooks> 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
[03:29] <rbrooks> what live cd?
[03:30] <sirriffsalot> Ubuntu live cd:p
[03:30] <bobo37773> keithclark: Did you catch that ^^
[03:30] <sirriffsalot> Could someone that knows what to do please help, it's vital:)
[03:31] <lusers> sirriffsalot: Start off by installing lvm2 and cryptsetup...
[03:31] <sirriffsalot> lusers: on a live cd?
[03:32] <lusers> sirriffsalot: If you're talking about full system encryption, then yes, that's lvm2 and cryptsetup on livecd (since they don't come with live cd) -- but if you're talking about home encryption only… That might be different thing.
[03:32] <sirriffsalot> lusers: I want to save/copy some files from my encrypted home folder to a usb drive before I reinstall ubuntu:)
[03:33] <lusers> sirriffsalot: How did you install encryption on home folder? Just a checkbox (on Ubuntu)?
[03:33] <sirriffsalot> lusers: I did it through ubuntu installation cd
[03:33] <sirriffsalot> lusers: I can't access ubuntu because I unabled a nvidia graphics driver card without enabling another so...
[03:34] <sirriffsalot> lusers: been trying to be able to login again but it just goes to power save so I figured I might as well reinstall
[03:34] <lusers> sirriffsalot: Just home only? Not the whole system?
[03:34] <lusers> sirriffsalot: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-mounting-your-encrypted-home-from-livecd/ -- This?
[03:34] <sirriffsalot> lusers: Just home folder:)
[03:34] <keithclark_> bobo37773, still no luck even changing dns server to google
[03:35] <bobo37773> sirriffsalot: Did you try this program already --> ecryptfs-recover-private
[03:35] <sirriffsalot> lusers: yes, that
[03:35] <sirriffsalot> lusers: want me to try doing that?
[03:35] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: No afraid not
[03:35] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: should I?:)
[03:35] <lusers> sirriffsalot: Sure. I'm going away now. Word of disclaimer. I never used that stuff.
[03:35] <sirriffsalot> lusers: ok..:) Cheers
[03:36] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: do explain?
[03:36] <bobo37773> sirriffsalot: That is what Ubuntu recommends. It sounds like you need something user friendly. Here you go: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/en/man1/ecryptfs-recover-private.1.html
[03:37] <bobo37773> keithclark_: Next thing I would try would be to access the ip from behind a proxy. I really don't see why all this is necessary though. What country are you in?
[03:37] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: looks promising! Where do I download this from?
[03:37] <ghil> Okay..I think I'm going to need one last bit of help, if you all don't mind. While the nvidia settings recognize the second monitor, it's basically blank; ubuntu doesn't use it. How to make it extend the desktop to that monitor? (Weirdly, when I tried Xinerama, it gave me two wallpapers...but the whole Unity was gone.)
[03:37] <sp3ck> sirriffsalot: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/04/introducing-ecryptfs-recover-private.html (tutorial for ecryptfs)
[03:37] <keithclark_> bobo37773, Canada
[03:38] <bobo37773> sirriffsalot: Type the command in your terminal or sudo apt-get install programname
[03:38] <sp3ck> sirriffsalot: never tested it but it seems promising
[03:38] <sirriffsalot> sp3ck: will try both, starting with bobo's aproach;D
[03:38] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: hang on
[03:38] <bobo37773> keithclark_: I am in the states and it is working here. Use a public us proxy and see of that works.
[03:38] <keithclark_> bobo37773, this is turning into the biggest mystery
[03:39] <mage-_y> how do i work this
[03:39] <mage-_y> where do i go to learn irc
[03:39] <keithclark_> bobo37773, all others in Canada seem to work
[03:39] <bobo37773> keithclark_: It has been a while since I heard something this strange too.
[03:39] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: E: Unable to locate package ecryptfs-recover-private
[03:39] <bobo37773> keithclark_: It worked?! What did? A proxy?
[03:40] <keithclark_> bobo37773, nothing worked
[03:40] <bobo37773> sirriffsalot: The link I sent you. The first line --> "Provided by:"
[03:41] <bobo37773> keithclark_: Oh. Did you try a US proxy?
[03:41] <keithclark_> bobo37773, not sure how
[03:41] <bobo37773> keithclark_: Do you have any other machines on your network? Can they access this ip?
[03:41] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: sorry for my clumsiness... could you please explain what to do? I'm slightly confused:/
[03:42] <`Korvin> I'm trying to setup wireshark to sniff the connections going in and out of this android app, I have it emulated. How can I set up an interface that lets this happen?

[03:42] <cloyd800> I'm having problems creating a desktop executable for Eclipse.  I have it pointed to /usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop -- I've edited the permissions of the file, but when I try to run it, it says Permission Denied. What do?
[03:42] <bobo37773> sirriffsalot: Do you still have the link I sent you? It says on the top line --> Provided by: ecryptfs-utils
[03:42] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: ah yes! I get it now, hang on
[03:43] <`Korvin> clone1018, gksudo
[03:43] <`Korvin> if using ubuntu, if kubuntu kdesudo

[03:48] <bouma> older grub rescue guides suggest starting with grub> find .../stage1
[03:48] <bobo37773> keithclark_: That domain redirects. Try this --> http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/home
[03:48] <bouma> but it seems that doesnt apply with grub2
[03:49] <bouma> how to trigger ubuntu to 'rebuild' the grub menu im running 11.10
[03:49] <[fields]> I have a dell inspiron 531 tower, now with 11.10.  Ubuntu doesn't seem to see an audio device, there is clearly onboard audio on both the front and back of tower.  Does anyone have advice on an easy way to get simple sound?
[03:49] <scar3crow> bouma: sudo update-grub
[03:49] <bouma> i know eg, when you install certain packages it automatically reconfigures the boot menu, and detects other os's
[03:49] <ghil> Well, everything's fixed naow. Twinview finally activated perfectly :p Thanks again all for your help :)
[03:49] <keithclark_> bobo37773, timeout
[03:49] <bouma> scar3crow: thanks so much
[03:49] <scar3crow> np
[03:49] <bobo37773> [fields]: Anything showing in alsamixer?
[03:50] <bouma> cool it found the install of precise on sda1, which the installer wouldnt make bootable
[03:50] <scar3crow> ;)
[03:50] <bouma> hopefully now i can boot into it
[03:51] <bobo37773> keithclark_: Something is blocking you. How about this --> 204.9.163.248:80
[03:51] <lusers> bobo37773: Ah. Cool new automated process for ecryptfs.
[03:51] <bobo37773> lusers: Oh cool. You figured it out?
[03:51] <[fields]> bobo37773: I don't know a thing about alsamixer
[03:51] <keithclark_> bobo37773, nope, timeout
[03:52] <bobo37773> [fields]: It is a terminal application. Type it in a terminal
[03:52] <[fields]> sound settings > hardware ... shows no devices to choose from.  Output is dummy.
[03:53] <[fields]> bobo37773: I tried that and don't know the path to it
[03:53] <[fields]> bobo37773:   ahhh, wget
[03:53] <bobo37773> [fields]: Wait what?
[03:54] <[fields]> bobo37773: nah, that didn't help
[03:54] <[fields]> bobo37773:  how can I get alsamixer for terminal?
[03:54] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773:  this is strange, I followed this guide
[03:55] <bobo37773> keithclark_: I have no idea what to tell you now. Try a different web browser. Try a proxy. Make sure you do not have a firewall blocking you. Other than that I have no idea.
[03:55] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: and yet the output of terminal is this: root@dreamstudio:/media/55269a73-877e-4abb-931c-dab900d7d3bf/home# adduser --no-create-home sirriffsalot2 adduser: The user `sirriffsalot2' already exists. root@dreamstudio:/media/55269a73-877e-4abb-931c-dab900d7d3bf/home# cd /media/55269a73-877e-4abb-931c-dab900d7d3bf/home/sirriffsalot2/ bash: cd: /media/55269a73-877e-4abb-931c-dab900d7d3bf/home/sirriffsalot2/: No such file or
[03:55] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: says that "sirriffsalot2" already exists and yet I can't mount it:-S
[03:56] <bobo37773> sirriffsalot: Are you sure it's not already mounted? Open a terminal and type -->   sudo fdisk -l
[03:57] <Dkoz> Hello I am new to Ubuntu, can someone help me with my problem trying to install it on my toshiba satellite?
[03:57] <MrElendig> Dkoz: only if you tell us what is wrong
[03:57] <bobo37773> [fields]: Open a terminal and type --> alsamixer      is what I meant. But if your sound card is not being recognized at all it is a different issue probably. Is this install an upgrade or a clean install
[03:57] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: does it have to be unmounted for me to mount?:S
[03:57] <MrElendig> Dkoz: as verbatime as possible
[03:58] <[fields]> bobo37773: cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
[03:58] <bobo37773> sirriffsalot: Well yeah. But I meant just browse to the location /media and see if it is there
[03:58] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: yep, sec
[03:58] <[fields]> bobo37773: I went to /usr/bin to try the same and got the same response
[03:59] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: you mean the "media" file in my live cd or in my actual install?
[03:59] <ghil> here's a question: what's your favorite IRC client on Linux?
[03:59] <Dkoz> well I intially installed by whipping out windows 7 and was successful. Once I did an update on the Ubuntu 10.04, it didn't boot saying need to load kernel. I tried looking for solutions, didn't find any. So I decided to reinstall and since then it won't go past the ubuntu installation logo
[04:00] <bobo37773> [fields]: Yeah. I don't know. I don't run the latest ubuntu so they have probably made some changes I am unaware of.
[04:00] <bobo37773> ghil: irssi
[04:01] <bobo37773> sirriffsalot: Oh thats right. Is there a partition icon on the desktop?
[04:01] <[fields]> bobo37773: I think I don't have the alsamixer program... I found their website but I was hoping for an easier download install like apt-get
[04:01] <sacarlson> how do you setup the mini.iso file to boot from a grub2 menu entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom ?  any examples or links?  it's seems it's not a casper type boot so?
[04:02] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: uhm no
[04:02] <bobo37773> [fields]: Yeah   -->   sudo apt-get install alsa-utils     should be something like that
[04:02] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: just the "Install" icon
[04:03] <[fields]> bobo37773: "alsa-utils is already the newest version."    Thanks for your help tho.
[04:03] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: I'm on a "dream studio" install CD by the way, but it is still ubuntu, so please treat this as if it were ubuntu:)
[04:03] <bobo37773> sirriffsalot: The command you ran was --> sudo ecryptfs-recover-private        right?
[04:03] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: yes
[04:03] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: let me try again just in case
[04:04] <bobo37773> sirriffsalot: Yeah no big deal. I dont run ubuntu anyways. Just trying to help
[04:04] <mi3> hello!
[04:04] <Viking667> really quick question. I've got icons on my desktop, how do I tell nautilus not to start up with a desktop? (It's starting automatically)
[04:04] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: I get this error when typing in the password: Error: Unwrapping passphrase and inserting into the user session keyring failed [-5] Info: Check the system log for more information from libecryptfs
[04:05] <sp3ck> Viking667: you mean a .desktop file? dont understand what you're saying..

[04:06] <Viking667> When I log into my session, I get a desktop with icons. I'm trying to find out how to stop those icons from appearing. i.e. I want a blank desktop
[04:06] <bobo37773> sirriffsalot: ls /tmp

[04:07] <ide_task> Using ubuntu 11.10, when I lock the screen and want to re-enter, there is now a "visual keyboard" at the bottom of the window. I don't know how it appeared and I want it to disappear, what should I do?
[04:07] <mi3> any suggestions?
[04:07] <scar3crow> Viking667: install gnome-tweak-tool
[04:07] <sp3ck> Viking667: which version of ubuntu do you run?
[04:07] <Viking667> I'll look at that (again)... thanks
[04:07] <Viking667>  uh, 11.10
[04:07] <ghil> well that's better.
[04:08] <bobo37773> sirriffsalot: Nope. I don't see it. I wish I could help you more but I got to go now. I will try to come back later if you are still here okay
[04:08] <lusers> bobo37773 -- Not me. I don't have a problem with ecryptfs and does not use Ubuntu. I thought that command was to recover a password, but not the system itself (from livecd). :)
[04:08] <sirriffsalot> bobo37773: cheers..:)
[04:08] <bobo37773> lusers: Oh I see. Please assist sirriffsalot if you can.
[04:08] <sirriffsalot> lusers: ???:D
[04:09] <sirriffsalot> lusers: is there hope?
[04:09] <sp3ck> Viking667: scar3crow is right the easiest is gnome tweak tool otherwise " gconf-editor to switch /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop" set it to true or flase (i think)
[04:10] <ide_task> Anyone has an idea?
[04:10] <sirriffsalot> lusers: any ideas mate?:)
[04:11] <Viking667> sp3ck: sheesh. NOW you come up wit that key. That's the one I was looking for... thank you.
[04:12] <Viking667> hm. Seems there's no schema for that key.
[04:12] <ide_task> OK, well, found: "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver embedded-keyboard-enabled false"
[04:13] <ide_task> I wonder how come I have managed to set it to true in the first place :/
[04:13] <Viking667> ugh. thanks.

[04:15] <scar3crow> how am I to resize my wubi swap file; anyone?
[04:16] <sp3ck> scar3crow: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How_do_I_increase_my_swap_space.3F
[04:18] <scar3crow> sp3ck: tyvm
[04:18] <sp3ck> scar3crow: nothing mate
[04:20] <scar3crow> (thanks to idsoftware I am increasing my wubi install to 60GB) :P
[04:22] <ide_task> At the command line, how can you get the list of packages installed for which part of the package name contains a string? Ie, like yum search xxxx or rpm -qa|fgrep xxxx
[04:23] <ide_task> Or eix -I under gentoo
[04:25] <monday> dpkg-query -l
[04:25] <sp3ck> ide_task: dpkg -l
[04:25] <monday> ide_task: dpkg-query -l
[04:26] <sp3ck> ide_task:  else? huhuhuhuhuh
[04:26] <monday> ide_task: that will list all of them.
[04:26] <ide_task> Yep, just saw that
[04:26] <ide_task> In fact, both commands output the same result
[04:26] <ide_task> sp3ck: no idea, I don't use slackware nor arch :p
[04:27] <monday> ide_task use the |grep -i search-term
[04:27] <monday> that will narrow down what you are looking for.
[04:27] <ide_task> No need, it seems, dpkg{-query} -l xxxx does the job
[04:27] <sp3ck> dpkg -l | grep a_search_term
[04:28] <ide_task> (though it outputs a lot of info which I don't need, looking up how to narrow it
[04:28] <monday> ide_task: or use dpkg-query -s packagename
[04:29] <monday> I like the grep myself.
[04:29] <ide_task> Ah, crap, dpkg* require the _exact_ package name
[04:29] <ide_task> OK, grep it is
[04:31] <monday> try dpkg-query -W search_term
[04:31] <monday> or -S search_pattern
[04:32] <monday> better making dpkg-query -S search_term, example dpkg-query -S term
[04:32] <ide_task> monday: tried -S, though it will also search through files (a combination of yum search and rpm -qf=
[04:32] <monday> that will show you a few terms.
[04:33] <monday> ah
[04:33] <scar3crow> dumb question: ideal swap size with 8GB RAM?

[04:36] <danes> hello, is there a program similar to tortoise svn for ubuntu?
[04:36] <MrEntropy> yo
[04:37] <MrEntropy> is there a "backports" type site for ubuntu? Specifically, for ARM
[04:37] <sp3ck> danes:  tortoise plays very well for ubutnu as far as i know
[04:37] <danes> sp3ck, what do you mean? Install it with wine?
[04:38] <sp3ck> danes: you can install it via soft center
[04:41] <m477> fn + f4 decreases  brightnes in my laptop, is it possible to write for instant bash script which do that?
[04:45] <cloyd800> are there any programs out there that allow you to make a System Restore point for Ubuntu?
[04:46] <xangua> cloyd800: ubuntu oneiric comes with one already, can't remember it's name
[04:46] <cloyd800> deja-dup just tends to backup and restore files, but I want a full image restore

[05:02] <ide_task> Prabz: you should collect information about that segfault and open a bug
[05:02] <Prabz> ide_task, what more information do I need about this? and how to proceed about collecting it
[05:03] <ide_task> Prabz: ideally a core dump -- I don't know whether one is generated by default, you should ask about it in your bug report
[05:04] <raeven> Anybody on?
[05:04] <Prabz> ide_task, ok. I'll do that. thanks!!
[05:04] <sp3ck> Prabz: yes, this is much better!
[05:05] <raeven> Having an annoying problem, here - Trying to use palimpsest to log onto my server, and root login spits back an error saying stdin: is not a tty. Anybody know how to fix this?
[05:05] <bobo37773> lusers: Did they figure it out? The encrypted partition thing
[05:09] <stiltzkin> Hi, I have a quick question about partitioning. I can never seem to get this right...I want to use the alternate installer to create an encrypted / and swap using LVM. I'm just confused on the order in which this needs to be set up. All of the guides I've read online are equally unclear.
[05:10] <stiltzkin> I've done it before, so I know it can be done, but the menus for crypto and LVM have changed a bit since the last time I've done this. Anyone good with setting up dm-crypt/LUKS?
[05:10] <sp3ck> bobo37773: i think he left
[05:11] <raeven> Maybe someone who recently logged on can help me with this: looking to fix a login error when using palimpsest to manage a remote server
[05:11] <stiltzkin> Basically I just need to know which order to do this in. Do I set up the / partition for use as "physical volume for encryption" or "physical volume for LVM?"
[05:12] <josh_> xubuntu 11.10 can never reboot for me when i press restart
[05:13] <stiltzkin> Or, do I not set it as either, and set it as the filesystem type I want to use and then add it to the crypt, or add it to the LVM? There's a lot of variables here and this is like my fifth time erasing changes and trying again.
[05:14] <pilotbub> i ran ubuntu on an x86 core and it inspired me to hackintosh... I guess I'm too used to rock solid operating systems but hats off to you guys for enduring it on behalf of the rest of us in the interest of futuretech
[05:15] <urbancommando> stiltzkin, I guess it depends how you want to setup your environment
[05:15] <urbancommando> lvm if you want to raid it
[05:16] <urbancommando> I alway encrypted my hds
[05:16] <stiltzkin> urbancommando, OK well that's easy to explain. No RAID. Just want to use XFS for 300GB /, 8GB swap, and then obviously a 250MB ext3 /boot that doesn't get encrypted.
[05:17] <stiltzkin> I think I understand everything about this except the order it's done in, like whether LVM or crypto gets set up first, and what to mark the partitions as "used for"
[05:17] <bobo37773> sp3ck: Oh okay. Thanks.
[05:18] <urbancommando> are you installing ubuntu server?
[05:18] <urbancommando> or ubuntu 11...
[05:18] <stiltzkin> No, Lubuntu 11.10 (LXDE variant, but the process should be exactly the same)
[05:18] <m477> fn + f4 decreases  brightnes in my laptop, is it possible to write for instant bash script which do that?
[05:19] <MHA_> hello all
[05:20] <urbancommando> stiltzkin, I guess I have to ask you what do you want do with your hd1 and hd2?
[05:21] <stiltzkin> urbancommando, not sure what you mean by hd1 and hd2...this is a single-disk machine.
[05:21] <urbancommando> the way I have mine setup is, I have my hd2 as my /home
[05:21] <urbancommando> ahh ok
[05:21] <stiltzkin> I'm running through this guide again to make sure I didn't just screw something minor up last time: http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/10/how-to-install-ubuntu-11-04-on-an-encrypted-lvm-file-system/
[05:24] <urbancommando> stiltzkin lvm first crypto last
[05:24] <urbancommando> crypto always last
[05:25] <stiltzkin> urbancommando, yeah I may have picked "physical volume for encryption" and then tried to set up LVM last time, double checking
[05:26] <urbancommando> im assuming you have a 500 gb hd
[05:27] <urbancommando> pilotbub lol can you pass me your hash
[05:30] <savr> to install grub-efi; I do the following; apt-get install grub-efi; update-grub ?
[05:31] <scar3crow> efi?
[05:31] <stiltzkin> urbancommando, I think I've got it actually...I must have messed up with selecting crypto first, or selecting a filesystem instead of using the partition for LVM. Lol thanks for the help anyway!
[05:32] <Prinler> hey everyone
[05:33] <lREDl> hey im getting the same error as this http://askubuntu.com/questions/98928/error-processing-xl2tpd
[05:33] <savr> scar3crow, for efi booting. My laptop has windows 8 and ubuntu and is set to boot on efi
[05:33] <lREDl> its unanswered and I was wondering if any of you can help?
[05:33] <Prabz> this is a strange thing I observed. while "top | grep <progname>" gives the line of that program, same thing doesn't work for "top | grep unity" , although several unity-2d processes are being listed in top
[05:34] <Prabz> anything I'm doing wrong here?
[05:34] <urbancommando> stiltzkin, once you hit the option with the crypto, its going to complete the install

[05:35] <stiltzkin> urbancommando, yup, just finished. Thanks again! Sometimes I just need to slow down enough to type my problem out and then I smack myself when I figure out what I did wrong :)
[05:35] <Prinler> to many people in here to get help LOL
[05:36] <lREDl> silly me forgot to use a pastebin
[05:36] <stiltzkin> lREDl, looks like you have a broken package
[05:36] <codemaniac> lsusb just cannot detect the device
[05:36] <lREDl> yea I got that
[05:36] <lREDl> how do I fix it
[05:36] <timo^desktop> shape: Open a terminal, click file, and somewhere there you'll find them
[05:36] <stiltzkin> lREDl, I'm trying to recall how I fixed this in the past...
[05:37] <stiltzkin> lREDl, have you tried "sudo apt-get -f install" ?
[05:37] <codemaniac> anyone here o help me out
[05:37] <lREDl> nope let me do it now
[05:37] <urbancommando> wow to many people with problems lol
[05:37] <urbancommando> open a ticket plz lol
[05:37] <lREDl> just ran it
[05:37] <scar3crow> I installed oracle java 7 with update-java
[05:37] <shape> timo^desktop: Yes but I need to reset them to the Defaults and I dont know how because I dont see any options for that
[05:37] <lREDl> same thing poped up at the end
[05:37] <scar3crow> worked like a charm
[05:38] <lREDl>  http://paste.ubuntu.com/930545/
[05:38] <lREDl> same exact thing
[05:38] <stiltzkin> lREDl, ok, try "sudo apt-get purge oracle-java7-installer"
[05:38] <timo^desktop> shape: isn't there a 'set to default' option?
[05:38] <shape> timo^desktop: nope
[05:39] <lREDl> I did that before
[05:39] <lREDl> it was actaully the first thing I did
[05:39] <stiltzkin> lREDl, and it won't remove the package?
[05:39] <urbancommando> lREDl are you using ubuntu 12.X ?
[05:39] <lREDl> yes but its the error as the thingy I posted before
[05:39] <scar3crow> http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/showthread.php/772
[05:40] <scar3crow> for java
[05:40] <lREDl> its this error http://askubuntu.com/questions/98928/error-processing-xl2tpd
[05:40] <lREDl> so its not 12.04 related
[05:40] <scar3crow> my bad
[05:40] <savr> to install grub-efi; I do the following; apt-get install grub-efi; update-grub ?
[05:40] <stiltzkin> lREDl, it may be a problem that you're running prerelease, sometimes packages break. I've had problems with Java especially. That error you're posting is not at all specific to your package. It's a generic error.
[05:41] <urbancommando> RED you should go to the other channel
[05:41] <lREDl> ok so how would I fix it/remove it stiltzkin
[05:41] <urbancommando> 12 is so buggy
[05:41] <lREDl> not for me
[05:41] <urbancommando> that what i thought in the beginning
[05:42] <lREDl> ive been using it for a month just had to update compiz
[05:42] <lREDl> then it was fine
[05:42] <stiltzkin> lREDl, I think you'll find your solution in here: http://www.khattam.info/solved-subprocess-pre-removal-script-returned-error-exit-status-2-error-2009-08-04.html
[05:42] <lREDl> but I can't use 11.10 since the nvidia drivers are wonky for me
[05:42] <lREDl> and thanks <stiltzkin>
[05:42] <Jordan_U> savr: You always use grub-install to install grub. Also, if you're installing grub-efi you need your EFI System Partition mounted to /boot/efi/ (you should set this up via /etc/fstab so that it will always be mounted there). Why do you want grub-efi though?
[05:43] <stiltzkin> lREDl, word of caution, messing with your packages like this can brick your system. I of course assume you have important data backed up before doing this.
[05:43] <urbancommando> ahh Jordan_U for the rescue
[05:43] <savr> Jordan_U, because I boot windows from efi for faster booting
[05:43] <urbancommando> kk Jordan can help all of you
[05:43] <urbancommando> lol
[05:43] <shape> I need to reset the terminal keyboard shortcuts. Can anyone please help me? To set the shortcuts to DEFAULT
 im just toying with Ubuntu atm Im poking around
[05:43] <savr> Jordan_U, right now I need to hit 12 and select legacy boot to get ubuntu
[05:44] <lREDl> nothing important is on this parition
[05:44] <stiltzkin> lREDl, Alright. What were you trying to do before you got this error? Installing Java 7?
[05:44] <Jordan_U> savr: Just be aware that most Linux graphics drivers don't cope with a lack of BIOS very well at the moment.
[05:44] <savr> oh
[05:44] <savr> ok
[05:45] <lREDl> well I had just started a fresh install booted up installed rebooted then started installing some stuff then went and installed java then BAM error
[05:45] <savr> I thought efi has going to be better for linux Jordan_U
[05:45] <stiltzkin> lREDl, did you install Java from Sun's packages or from the Ubuntu repositories?
[05:45] <lREDl> sun
[05:45] <lREDl> and the thing you sent me didn't work
[05:45] <lREDl> still getting the error
[05:46] <lREDl> oh well geuss il just reinstall ubuntu
[05:46] <savr> what ever happened to the sensors-applet package?
[05:46] <savr> I can't find it on my apt-cache
[05:46] <Prabz> lREDl, reinstall isn't the solution
[05:46] <stiltzkin> lREDl, you searched your /var/lib/dpkg/status for your offending package?
[05:46] <lREDl> 1 sec
[05:47] <urbancommando> lREDl I believe you can have one or the other java install
[05:47] <urbancommando> so you would have to remove the other jdk java and then install the oracle
[05:47] <lREDl> I allways remove OpenJDK before I install Sun java
[05:48] <lREDl> and I found them
[05:48] <urbancommando> k
[05:48] <lREDl> so how do I remove them
[05:48] <stiltzkin> lREDl, have you done update-alternatives to select the correct JRE?
[05:48] <lREDl> yes
[05:48] <lREDl> how do I delete files from the terminal
[05:49] <lREDl> :P
[05:49] <stiltzkin> lREDl, OK, well in that case just follow the rest of the guide, I believe this is what I had to do for some package that returned the same error.
[05:49] <savr> lREDl, rm -rf /
[05:49] <savr> path to file
[05:49] <Jordan_U> !danger
[05:49] <stiltzkin> lREDl, do not run that command. It will erase your hard drive.
[05:50] <lREDl> yea I know
[05:50] <lREDl> the rm commands
[05:50] <lREDl> are big no noes
[05:50] <urbancommando> lREDl use a wild card "sudo apt-get purge openjdk*"
[05:50] <sp3ck> |RED|: DO NOT RUN THAT!
[05:50] <lREDl> I aint that big of a terminal noob XD
[05:50] <stiltzkin> Still don't like to see anyone posting that, people have been tricked by it before.
[05:51] <lREDl> yea I was about to run it then I remembered it tad sleepy XD
[05:51] <Jordan_U> lREDl: This channel isn't for Ubuntu 12.04 support, period. Please move to #ubuntu+1.
[05:52] <urbancommando> lREDl after then add the ppa if you havent done so and update/install
[05:52] <operatorplik> i'm join us
[05:52] <lREDl> Jordan_U this error isn't a 12.04 error
[05:52] <operatorplik> hahahah
[05:52] <operatorplik> eneeek
[05:52] <bazhang> operatorplik, stop that
[05:52] <Jordan_U> lREDl: 1: You don't know that for sure and 2: It doesn't matter. #ubuntu+1 for 12.04, no exceptions.
[05:53] <stiltzkin> lREDl, it doesn't matter, if you're running 12.04 it's still technically OT here. But I think you got your fix anyways.
[05:53] <lREDl> ubuntu+1 is kinda dead too
[05:53] <lREDl> ohh well I think Il just leave this install until the release of 12.04
[05:54] <lREDl> then wipe it clean
[05:54] <rbrooks> fresh ubuntu wipe
[05:55] <xlREDlx> well im off cya

[05:57] <shape> urbancommando: to defaults
[05:58] <shape> urbancommando: i.e. Ctrl+c is copy paste instead of terminating a running program.
[05:59] <stiltzkin> Hey, I've got a random unimportant question, just wondering if anyone has noticed that if you use disk encryption, the very first time you boot your computer the login screen looks nice and pretty, with a little box for you to type your password in. But every subsequent boot after that, the screen is just text-only. Why is that?

[06:07] <shape> lusers: I know, but I modified the copy shortcut
[06:07] <mi3> any suggestions?
[06:07] <shape> lusers: I modified many shortcuts, and I just want to set everything back to default
[06:08] <meet> join #freenode
[06:08] <y0om4> the launchbar does not disappear, it is staying stuck
[06:08] <y0om4> how can i unstuck it
[06:09] <lusers> shape: It is probably somewhere in ~/.gconf (or gnome2). It's a hit or miss.
[06:10] <lusers> shape: /home/chris/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal, I think.
[06:10] <shape> lusers: isn't there a command to just reset it?
[06:10] <urbancommando> shape when you have terminal open can you go to edit->profile then select Profile to use when launching new terminal?  recreate all your shortcuts
[06:11] <shape> urbancommando: yes
[06:11] <sholeh> H
[06:12] <lusers> shape: I have no idea how. Install gconf-editor and find out where terminal stuffs get stored… From there, do gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/path/to/terminal
[06:12] <shape> urbancommando: But it still keeps them
[06:12] <lusers> That's my best guess.
[06:12] <BlakJak> I dont suppose anyone running 12.04 has had odd wifi problems recently?
[06:13] <shape> lusers: okay, I'll see if that will work, but only if I don't find an easier way. I'm a novice and I dont want to mess with files at the moment.
[06:13] <bazhang> BlakJak, #ubuntu+1 for that please
[06:17] <y0om4> hi
[06:18] <TechIsCool> hey everyone I am having an issue with grub I think I get an error saying error no such disk. http://paste.ubuntu.com/930574/
[06:18] <y0om4> I have 11.10 installed, can I upgrade to 12.04 using a command prompt?
[06:19] <Dr_willis> y0om4,  yes
[06:19] <Dr_willis> !upgrade
[06:23] <shape> lusers: urbancommando: I FOUND IT! The command is: gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/gnome-terminal
[06:23] <y0om4> the page says I can upgrade only from ??.04 to .10 within the same release
[06:23] <y0om4> it does not say you can upgrade to the next release
[06:23] <y0om4> through download
[06:23] <y0om4> i mean commandline
[06:23] <bazhang> y0om4, sure you can
[06:24] <DaemonFC> don't you have to go with whatever the next release was to the one you have, and then onto the next one from there, and so on? (I know LTS can go from one LTS to the other or to the next regular release though)
[06:24] <DaemonFC> I've never been that far behind but my dad emailed me the other day and mentioned he was still using 11.04
[06:24] <bazhang> DaemonFC, yes
[06:25] <y0om4> whats the name of 12.04?
[06:25] <bazhang> !precise | y0om4
[06:25] <DaemonFC> bazhang, So his path would be 11.04 to 11.10 to 12.04 -or- a clean install? That's what I told him I thought it was.
[06:26] <bazhang> DaemonFC, correct
[06:30] <urbancommando> shape congrats ima save that.  sry tits and muff hair on tv lol
[06:32] <shape> urbancommando: Same here! But I can multitask! XD

[06:39] <urbancommando> lol minuteman
[06:41] <shape> 	Does anyone know why Fedora's Disk-Utility is telling me my HDD has problems (190 bad sectors and on yellow alert) yet in ubuntu it's the same but it's on Green alert and it doesn't alert me?
[06:41] <TechIsCool> urbancommando: you like the computer name
[06:42] <lasers`> shape: Sorry for slow response. That sounds about right. :)
[06:45] <rdw200169> shape, without any specific knowledge of what gui tool you're using in either OS, I can venture to say that there is a different threshold on what is 'green' between Fedora and Ubuntu; let me suggest you hit the command line and dig deeper into the S.M.A.R.T. status (etc...) of that bad drive
[06:46] <shape> rdw200169: it's the default gnome-disk-utility that comes with both systems
[06:50] <zykotick9> shape: i've experienced the same thing - fedora picking up on HD error, prior to ubuntu.  In my case, the drive was bad...
[06:51] <rdw200169> shape: yeah, don't trust the drive, start making backups now
[06:52] <rdw200169> shape: prices are so low these days, its silly to think you should keep that around
[06:52] <rdw200169> shape: when its throwing errors; *trust* me on this one
[06:53] <Dr-Willis> dont trust any drive.. always have backups...
[06:53] <zykotick9> Dr-Willis: true that!
[06:53] <Dr-Willis> wonder if ssd's have shown their reliability yet. :) need to get one someday.
[06:54] <shape> rdw200169: The funny thing is it has 5 years warranty from seagate and I've only used it for 300 days.
[06:54] <zykotick9> Dr-Willis: not sure about reliability, but oh man they're fast.  Most significant update i've ever done to a pc ;)
[06:54] <shape> rdw200169: And my 6 year old seagate that is 80GB that I have the system on has no bad sectors.
[06:55] <shape> pretty shitty to return a 2TB drive that lived 6 times less than a 80 GB one
[06:55] <zykotick9> shape: what's the saying "they don't build things like they used to" ;)
[06:55] <rdw200169> shape: then get a new drive ASAP, migrate the stuff you want to keep (or two and setup a raid) and rma the old one
[06:55] <ide_task> Use software RAID, meh
[06:56] <rdw200169> shape: I RMA a commodity drive about once a week at work ;)
[06:56] <G00by> Dr-Wills: I second the SSD's been using one at work for over a year and just recently installed on in my MacBook Pro. Hands down the best upgrade by far
[06:56] <shape> rdw200169: Yes, of course. I just have to wait 2 weeks for my paycheck. The thing is this drive is supposed to be the backup one! LOL
[06:57] <shape> rdw200169: But yean thanks for the tip. I am actually interested. How come ubuntu doesn't alert me, and how can I set the threshold so that it's like in Fedora
[06:57] <Dr-Willis> i recall older releases of ubuntu that were very paranoid about disks going bad.. said good ones where going bad. :)
[06:57] <chicognu> when the next stable release of lts will be available ?
[06:57] <Dr-Willis> !lts
[06:58] <rdw200169> shape: thats a good question ;) I don't have the answer b/c I don't use gui tools
[06:58] <Dr-Willis> 12.04 =  2012 4th month. next lts
[06:58] <shape> rdw200169: Then do you have a link to provide me with documentation regarding terminal commands about that?
[06:58] <ide_task> chicognu: as Canonical releases one every two years and the last one was in April 2010, the next is April 2012, therefore 12.04
[06:59] <chicognu> ide_task, so until the end of mouth will be a stable release ?
[06:59] <rdw200169> smart: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools
[07:00] <ide_task> chicognu: I don't know the ETA, but by the end of April, 12.04 ought to be out, yes
[07:00] <shape> rdw200169: you mean "shape"
[07:00] <chicognu> :)
[07:00] <scar3crow> ty
[07:00] <rdw200169> shape: yup, sorry ;)
[07:00] <shape> rdw200169: Also, what is the maximum bad sector number that makes a HDD bad/and should be replaced
[07:00] <Dr-Willis> !schedule
[07:02] <chicognu> ide_task, if I install the beta version, I will need to download again the stable ? the stable is a total diferent iso ?
[07:02] <chicognu> or will be just some updates need ?
[07:02] <zykotick9> !final | chicognu
[07:02] <rdw200169> shape: how much are you willing to lose?  I'll give you a good piece of advice: never ever ever ever trust a hard drive; its a spinning magnetic disk platter thing!  This is why RAID is so important ;)
[07:03] <shape> rdw200169: Yes, but what if I buy an external one and just back up once in a while. Skipping RAID.
[07:03] <zykotick9> rdw200169: s/RAID is/backups are/
[07:04] <rdw200169> zykotick9, very true; not all of us have the luxury of remote site backups and SAN ;)
[07:04] <ide_task> chicognu: what ubottu said, or just wait for the final release to be out, it's a mere three weeks away now
[07:04] <shape> rdw200169: That should be good enough, right? I don't really have important data, in case all die. Just media and stuff.
[07:04] <shape> rdw200169:  Thanks for the link and for your help btw. I will brb for a few minutes.
[07:04] <rdw200169> shape, no prob
[07:05] <ide_task> RAID is essential, as much as backups are
[07:05] <ide_task> RAID ensures uptime, backups ensure data safety
[07:06] <filippo> list
[07:06] <zykotick9> ide_task: RAID is more likely to fail then a single drive (rule of increased complexity).
[07:06] <ide_task> Now I wish ceph got stable fast
[07:06] <rdw200169> ide_task, zykotick9 i think RAID is important in OS situations, not necessarily (but not excluding) data storage situations; as such, if a drive goes bad in a 'must not go down' system, with a nice RAID array with a hot spare, it will auto failover in the event of a failover, and I can migrate in a new hot spare quickly
[07:06] <savr> hi
[07:06] <scar3crow> mirrored drives are always nice :-/
[07:06] <ide_task> zykotick9: erm, I don't know where you got that, tbh
[07:06] <savr> can orcale java be install as a package in precise?
[07:06] <filippo> ciao a tutti
[07:06] <filippo> potrei avere la lista??
[07:07] <rdw200169> savr, i don't think so, considering all that open source distro license things that happened
[07:07] <zykotick9> rdw200169: i agree RAID is good for uptime for servers, for desktops it makes no sense to me personally
[07:07] <ide_task> zykotick9: in my experience, RAID is _more_ reliable than a single drive -- I have had three failing disks, and weren't it for RAID I'd have lost all my data
[07:07] <savr> rdw200169, meh :(
[07:07] <ide_task> I use I/O a _lot_
[07:08] <rdw200169> savr, i'm right there with ya; they pulled the sun-java partner packages in 11.04 and now i have to keep a local copy
[07:08] <rdw200169> ide_task, as do I
[07:09] <savr> I wish aptana supported open java
[07:09] <zykotick9> ide_task: any RAID requires more then a single drive, thus there MUST be more likelyhood of any one failing.  The added complexity of RAID adds another point of failure... so it's MORE likely that RAID will have some issue then a single drive (BUT, it might be recoverable with RAID, with a single drive - less so)
[07:09] <savr> only reason I'm installing the orcale version
[07:10] <ide_task> zykotick9: I see your point of view, but as far as I'm concerned, a soft RAID drive is a single drive, not two -- and as such it is more reliable
[07:11] <ide_task> After all, if a drive fails, the MD does not
[07:11] <rdw200169> zykotick9, ide_task RAID isn't the problem here; its stable, secure, reliable, especially in its (expensive) harware variants; the problem is when over-zealous admins have several arrays on one server, ea. with their own LVM volume group, and lots of huge over-extended ext3 partitions that can't be fsck'd... now THAT's a problem of overcomplication ;)
[07:11] <ide_task> rdw200169: yeah, fsck'ing is a probme with ext3, but less so with ext4 and btrfs though
[07:12] <auronandace> savr: you can install oracle java, it's just not available in the repo due to oracle's licensing, also 12.04 issues in #ubuntu+1 until its released
[07:12]  * ide_task wants ceph upstream, fast
[07:20] <pawan_tejwani> my computer is not connecting to internet though it has access to LAN... The internet is working perfectly fine on windows but I don't know what mistake i'm doing that caused internet connection to go off! (Its connecting to LAN but not internet). I have access to CMDA dongle which helps me connecting to internet in ubuntu 11.10
[07:22] <x010100x> pawan: could be gateway access problem
[07:23] <manjrem> pawan_tejwani, so you are connting the usb dongle directly to the linux box and its not connecting ... is that it?
[07:23] <pawan_tejwani> manjrem: the USB dongle is working fine but my home network (through router wired and wireless) is not connecting to internet, thought its working on windows
[07:25] <manjrem> pawan_tejwani, what i am trying to know is if the dongle is connected to some router or is it directly connected to some machine
[07:25] <pawan_tejwani> manjrem: its directly connected to ubuntu machine.
[07:26] <viriya> halo
[07:26] <manjrem> hmm ... and even from your linux box you are not able to access the net
[07:26] <manjrem> correct?
[07:26] <viriya> what?
[07:26] <pawan_tejwani> yup from my linux box I am not able to access internet via router , but from dongle its possible.
[07:28] <pawan_tejwani> manjrem: what should i do so that it works fine... when I installed ubuntu it was working perfectly fine... I configured it via NetworkManager with manual IPs it worked fine then too but when I rebooted the system it now doesn't connect !
[07:30] <manjrem> now ... do you want to connect via a dongle or router
[07:31] <pawan_tejwani> I need to connect via router
[07:31] <pawan_tejwani> dongle is temporary.
[07:31] <manjrem> are you able to ping your router
[07:31] <pawan_tejwani> yeah I am able to
[07:33] <auronandace> pawan_tejwani: why were you using static ip?
[07:34] <AlconAzul> applications for ubuntu for operations anonops??
[07:34] <pawan_tejwani> auronandace: because I want to configure apache for LAN sites
[07:35] <shape> In ubuntu, do you need to install drivers for other components even though everything works? i.e. in Windows you have to install drivers for motherboard chipset, monitor, sound card, LAN card etc.
[07:36] <manjrem> shape, in linux you dont need special drivers as such .. if need you will be prompted for the same
[07:36] <auronandace> shape: more often than not, no. but you might need to install graphics drivers. depends on your hardware really (also if using broadcom wireless)
[07:36] <AlconAzul> shape there are applications for ubuntu on the web for anonops
[07:37] <shape> Yes, it actually prompts you for video like nvidia, but I was curious as to why it doesn't require them. And why Windows can't do that
[07:37] <auronandace> AlconAzul: what is anonops?
[07:37] <manjrem> pawan_tejwani, what is your default gateway?
[07:37] <ide_task> shape: it is very rare when you do, Linux has the broadest hardware support of any operating systems out there, its soft spot is really graphics. Even WiFi is not a problem at all, now, and hasn't been for a few years already
[07:37] <ide_task> AlconAzul: who cares?
[07:37] <pawan_tejwani> routers IP address is the default gateway : 10.10.10.1
[07:38] <pawan_tejwani> manjrem: routers IP address is the default gateway : 10.10.10.1
[07:38] <shape> So the blunt question is, how come windows, when they charge so much per system, can't do that. It seems a pain in the ass to get 10+ drivers for all the components just to install the system
[07:38] <manjrem> tell me what happens when you do "nslookup google.com"
[07:38] <auronandace> shape: most drivers are in the kernel by default on linux, in windows they are usually 3rd party packages especially for more exotic or newer hardware
[07:38] <ide_task> pawan_tejwani: is that a hardware router or a Linux box? If the latter, 1. is IP forwarding activated and 2. do you snat on your outgoing interface?
[07:39] <shape> auronandace: So, if I just installed the nvidia driver, I'm good to go?
[07:39] <manjrem> pawan_tejwani, check in network manager if your dns is configured
[07:39] <ide_task> shape: it is not that they can't -- they won't. They have the hardware manufacturers write the drivers for them
[07:39] <shape> I see
[07:39] <manjrem> pawan_tejwani, also let me know the response for "ping 8.8.8.8"
[07:39] <pawan_tejwani> ide_task: its the hardware router. its working perfectly fine on windows
[07:40] <auronandace> shape: as long as you use the one from the repo, the one from nvidia may or may not work, the one in the repo is tested and known to work
[07:40] <pawan_tejwani> manjrem: dns is configured in router itself so I put ip address same as routers in dns. and I have put openDNS ips in router for dns address.
[07:40] <manjrem> pawan_tejwani, so what is the outcome of nslookup and ping?
[07:41] <shape> auronandace: I've used the one from the repo. And it's installed and it's working (as I'm typing). I was just VERY SURPRISED I don't need to install anything more. Usually when I install windows it takes forever to install everything.
[07:41] <ide_task> shape: welcome to Ubuntu ;)
[07:41] <manjrem> shape, that why linux rocks
[07:42] <shape> The thing is, unless you need super specialized software, I also don't understand why most people don't use linux. Because what they use their computers is just normal stuff like surfing the web, naughty movies and email.
[07:42] <ide_task> shape: Linux (the kernel) supports more than 50 architectures and runs on hardware as small as the Raspberry Pi or as huge as the fastest supercomputers in the world, so a PC is "nothing" to support
[07:43] <Prabz> shape, although that's the case, if the manufacturer provides linux drivers, and they're up to date, they're any day better in functionality and feature set
[07:43] <auronandace> shape: be happy that you are aware of linux and try and encourage others to use it if it fits their needs
[07:43] <ide_task> Prabz: manufacturers have started to understand -- if they want hardware support for their hardware in Linux, they should have the driver be upstream
[07:44] <shape> Prabz: So the linux ones are just generic sort of. Just so that the system can communicate with the components? And that the manufacturer ones are the tweaked ones" ?
[07:44] <shape> auronandace: Of course. I always do that actually. Open source should be the standard, not the proprietary stuff.
[07:45] <pawan_tejwani> manjrem: This is the output of ping its resolving the names to IPs but not able to exchange packets... tested with other sites also ... http://fpaste.org/Cubf/
[07:45] <ide_task> shape: Linux handles pretty much all busses, I/O etc and provides interfaces to implement for that and that hardware, most of the time hardware vendors just have to implement these interfaces and they are good to go
[07:45] <auronandace> shape: i wish that were true, reality is nasty though
[07:45] <ide_task> shape: but some hardware is indeed generic, such as hard disks -- you will positively never have to write a driver for a disk, or install one
[07:46] <Prabz> ide_task, shape, Well, for instance, Dell has this bluetooth radio device.. it has a lot of other features including audio routing through bluetooth, PAN, etc.. These aren't available  unless you use their drivers
[07:46] <shape> ide_task: Of course.
[07:46] <ide_task> Were it be IDE, SATA, SCSI, SAS, FC, SSD...
[07:46] <ide_task> Prabz: are you sure this driver is not upstream?
[07:46] <somethinginteres> Hi all, I want to execute a script each time a dvd is insert into my machine. How can I achieve this?
[07:46] <ide_task> If so, they are making a mistake
[07:47] <manjrem> pawan_tejwani, there is something wrong with the routing on your box ... please help me with the output of "route -n"
[07:47] <Prabz> ide_task, shape, Even Windows 7 started using this no-driver approach. It will run without those drivers, since it has an inbuilt standard generic driver.. But to make use of the full feature-set, it is recommended to use the manufacturer-provided drivers
[07:48] <shape> Prabz: Yeah. When i asked the question I had Windows Xp in mind. I haven't used Windows 7 because my computer is a bit old and from what I've seen it's a useless resource hog.
[07:48] <Prabz> ide_task, well, those drivers aren't available for linux.
[07:48] <ipv6hermit> hey guys, I'm running xubuntu natty.  I just did an update which included a kernel upgrade and a nvidia package upgrade. this broke X11 on my system.  I loaded a previous kernel and X11 worked.
[07:49] <Prabz> shape, windows 7 is the best thing that happened to windows. Although it is still closed, but it is no longer a hog as its earlier versions
[07:49] <Prabz> though I like ubuntu better because of its truly open and customizable approach
[07:49] <somethinginteres> ipv6hermit: did you whole PC basically freeze and have weird visual artifacts on the screen?
[07:49] <manjrem> yes i agree with Prabz, win 7 hogs more
[07:49] <manjrem> :)
[07:49] <auronandace> shape: xp is over a decade old, hence all the driver installation you need to do
[07:49] <Transisto> I Need some help,  I have installed XRDP to access my ubuntu host remotely, but when connecting I do not see any top bar or side bar (launcher) I cannot even start a terminal
[07:50] <ipv6hermit> somethinginteres during boot it kind of froze.  and there was a weird flashing of the boot splash screen when I pushed ctrl-alt-delete
[07:50] <shape> I have installed win7 on a different computer and I remember it used a lot of ram for example and had lots of services running
[07:50] <Prabz> manjrem, I said win7 isn't as much a hog as its predecessors
[07:51] <pawan_tejwani> manjrem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/930656/
[07:51] <shape> Pigdin or Empathy?
[07:51] <pawan_tejwani> manjrem: I again and again have to disconnect from home router to connect to internet... :(
[07:51] <manjrem> Prabz, i was just messing with you man ... i like win 7 compared to its predecessors
[07:51] <auronandace> shape: i use pidgin
[07:51] <ide_task> shape: any well behaved OS will use as much RAM as it has available, it doesn't mean all RAM used is actually active -- in fact, most of it is used by the fs cache
[07:51] <ide_task> Just like Linux
[07:52] <Prabz> manjrem, :P
[07:52] <shape> ide_task: I see
[07:52] <Transisto> are there any comercial remote desktop that "just work" I could add to my ubuntu
[07:52] <helphp> hola
[07:52] <hyperstation> hello anyone?
[07:52] <Prabz> Transisto, use teamviewer
[07:52] <sebastian> hola
[07:52] <hyperstation> i have a problem with my ubuntu..
[07:52] <auronandace> Transisto: check out teamviewer
[07:52] <Prabz> it has a linux version available
[07:52] <scientes> shape, windows and linux report free ram differn't (also differn't linux apps report it differntly, there are caches you can measure)
[07:52] <sebastian> como estan todos
[07:53] <scientes> Transisto, use VNC, like tightVNC
[07:53] <sebastian> ds
[07:53] <shape> scientes: Thanks. I didn't know that. :)
[07:53] <sebastian> :-)
[07:53] <Prabz> scientes, VNC doesn't necessarily work with windows server
[07:54] <vooze> I'm going to install ubuntu 12.04 beta2.. And i want to keep my Home folder (I currently have Linux mint 12) Home folder is a partition itself (on /home) and filesystem for itself (/) Should i do somthing special under install to make my old home folder work under new system?
[07:54] <scientes> Prabz, works just fine
[07:54] <scientes> Prabz, and its alot less propritary
[07:54] <ide_task> vooze: nothing required AFAIK, the installer will detect this and do what is required
[07:55] <Prabz> scientes, windows clients are quite buggy though
[07:55] <ide_task> If there is _one_ domain where Linux has long surpassed Windows, it's installers
[07:55] <scientes> Prabz, so is propritary software, and well, windows in general
[07:55] <manjrem> pawan_tejwani, 10.10.10.0 is not a valid IP address for the netmask 255.255.255.0 ... changing the IP assigned to eth0 to may be 10.10.10.1 or something should do the trick
[07:55] <vooze> ide_task: so i should just choose the "easy" option under install or still take "Advanced" like i use to do?
[07:55] <Prabz> scientes, especially the free versions of VNC
[07:55] <scientes> Prabz, i've used VNC with windows just find, I use -X with unix-like, but tightVNC works fine
[07:55] <ide_task> vooze: do as you just do usually
[07:55] <Transisto> Why don't XRDP to show the lauch bar ? I cannot do much of anything without it.
[07:55] <scientes> Prabz, dont use the official VNC, use TightVNC
[07:56] <pawan_tejwani> manjrem: I am trying that
[07:56] <pawan_tejwani> thanks
[07:56] <Prabz> scientes, will try that out
[07:56] <Prabz> :)
[07:56] <Python132o> When I do a backtrace with gdb I get lines like "
[07:56] <Python132o> #0  0xf6aaa9ad in Sys_Error_Internal(bool, char const*, char*) () from /home/x/engine.so
[07:56] <Python132o> "   Is there a way to make the backtrace print offsets from the module so that it would be like engine.so+0x000123
[07:56] <vooze> ide_task: Okay i will try :) thanks
[07:56] <Python132o> Sorry... damn newlines
[07:57] <ipv6hermit> hey guys, I'm running xubuntu natty.  I just did an update which included a kernel upgrade and a nvidia package upgrade. this broke X11 on my system.  I loaded a previous kernel and X11 worked.
[07:59] <manjrem> pawan_tejwani, so its working now?
[07:59] <pawan_tejwani> manjrem: no man I am pasting the configuration details for my home network, please check it out if I am wrong somewhere.
[08:01] <pawan_tejwani> manjrem: where to paste screenshots ? I am not aware of !!! can you please let me know ?
[08:02] <tokinwhiteman> Does anyone know how to change size of / partition with 12.04 beta2 installed? Can I only resize the volume during install?
[08:03] <ide_task> tokinwhiteman: do you use LVM?
[08:03] <violinappren> tokinwhiteman: use the gparted live cd, but you may have to mount the root partition and edit the /etc/fstab file to get the boot working correctly
[08:03] <tokinwhiteman> I don't know what that is so, know.
[08:04] <tokinwhiteman> So do i just burn it to a cd? would a usb work?
[08:04] <violinappren> tokinwhiteman: yes, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
[08:05] <frezee> how can i read kallsyms from userland ?
[08:06] <tokinwhiteman> well i already have gparted installed. Can I make that bootable off a usb?
[08:07] <violinappren> tokinwhiteman: you will not using whats currently installed on your machine, you need a live cd/usb
[08:09] <manjrem> pawan_tejwani, do it the same way you were doing it before
[08:10] <txdv_> is there a site where i can look up what packages Precise
[08:10] <txdv_> Pangolin is going to have?
[08:11] <violinappren> txdv_: packages.ubuntu.com
[08:11] <xworld> Hai guys , I want to install sbmanager in ubuntu 11.10 i downloaded and comiled , and i got an stuck when it shows http://paste.ubuntu.com/930668/
[08:12] <txdv_> there was only an entry 'precise' so i  failed to comprehend
[08:12] <somethinginteres> how can I determine the volume id of an inserted disc on the fly?
[08:12] <txdv_> but thhanks anyway
[08:13] <violinappren> txdv_: it's a categorized list of packages in each ubuntu release
[08:13] <violinappren> somethinginteres: blkid ?
[08:14] <xworld> anyone know how to install sbmanager in ubuntu 11.10
[08:15] <somethinginteres> violinappren: Yep that's the ticket
[08:17] <violinappren> xworld:  sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev
[08:17] <violinappren> xworld: and run ./configure again

[08:21] <ipv6hermit> hey guys, I recently had a system update that included a kernel upgrade to kernel 2.6.38-14.58. This upgrade caused X11 to stop working.  what's the best way to roll back to the previous kernel?
[08:22] <Myrtti> Areckx: you're getting cut off because the text is too long. It's not very legible like that. Also please don't repeat the question that often - the population of the channel hasn't noticeably changed since you last pasted that
[08:22] <tokinwhiteman> Well that's why I'm downloading unetbootin so i can use the live usb gparted to add some more space
[08:22] <ipv6hermit> I used grub to load the previous kernel and the system works fine.  I'd like to just keep using kernel version 2.6.38-13.57
[08:22] <Areckx> ohhh
[08:23] <Areckx> I got into recovery mode.... nvm
[08:23] <violinappren> ipv6hermit: one workaround is to make it the default entry in /etc/default/grub .. you need to file a bug report
[08:24] <xworld> anyone know how to install sbmanager in ubuntu 11.10

[08:27] <Areckx> I typed that into another channel and could only copy paste
[08:27] <tokinwhiteman> violinappren: So I am trying to remove some stuff through the software center and it tells me the same thing, I/O error:there is no space left
[08:27] <xworld> violinappren, thanks for the replay ,. libbz2-dev  package is already installed
[08:27] <violinappren> Areckx: it appears you've a badly broken installation, back up your files and do a fresh install
[08:28] <violinappren> xworld: and ./configure gives the same error ?
[08:28] <Areckx> how can i do this with a usb drive?
[08:28] <Areckx> i have no cdr
[08:28] <xworld> violinappren, yes .
[08:28] <tokinwhiteman> Areckx: do you have access to windows?
[08:29] <Areckx> no, mu girlfriend's mac but she's using it
[08:29] <xworld> violinappren, I want to do any upgrade for ubuntu 11.10 to install this ?
[08:30] <tokinwhiteman> Areckx: I never used a mac to make a live usb. I'm sure there is a program there.
[08:30] <Areckx> I have a iso setup with linux mint 9 using unetboot
[08:30] <violinappren> tokinwhiteman:  try: sudo apt-get clean
[08:30] <Areckx> what's it called? unetbootid?
[08:30] <tokinwhiteman> violinappren: I did that, just try again?
[08:31] <violinappren> tokinwhiteman: yeah, it should have cleared some space
[08:31] <Areckx> but when i hold f12 to selet booy device and select usb, it says missing operating system
[08:31] <tokinwhiteman> violinappren: so that cleared the apt-get cache?
[08:32] <violinappren> tokinwhiteman: yes, the downloaded .debs
[08:32] <xworld> violinappren, yes ./configure also gives the same error
[08:33] <violinappren> xworld: what ubuntu version are you using?
[08:34] <xworld> violinappren, 11.10
[08:34] <tokinwhiteman> violinappren: thanks man, I love learning new things. Got an different error this time.http://paste.ubuntu.com/930696/

[08:49] <Areckx> I did that with the unetind
[08:50] <Areckx> I selected x64
[08:50] <sandking> i'm looking for some good Dune fortune source
[08:50] <bekks> Areckx: You downloaded again?
[08:50] <Areckx> should I try the 32 bit?

[08:52] <violinappren> Areckx: ?
[08:52] <Areckx> ummmmm
[08:52] <Areckx> I said it
[08:52] <BrokenArrow> i was dinking around in mixer now i have no sound other then static from mic if i turn the mic way up

[08:53] <BrokenArrow> ummm. im no newb
[08:53] <Areckx> cool
[08:54] <violinappren> dibblego: where did you install the flash plugin from ?
[08:54] <Areckx> irc is  cool
[08:54] <tokinwhiteman> violinappren: the unebootin livesub won't boot
[08:54] <tokinwhiteman> just says boot error
[08:54] <violinappren> Areckx: if you want to "experiment" with the bot privately, /msg ubottu
[08:54] <violinappren> Areckx: not on here
[08:55] <violinappren> tokinwhiteman: of what iso?
[08:56] <tokinwhiteman> violinappren: gparted-live-0.12.1-1
[09:01] <violinappren> tokinwhiteman: i *think* that ubuntu includes gparted on the live cd, so if you have a bootable ubuntu cd/usb, try booting it up and looking for it in the application list
[09:02] <tokinwhiteman> violinappren: that makes sense, i'll download the .iso again
[09:02] <dibblego> violinappren: apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[09:04] <violinappren> dibblego: im use the adobe-flashplugin from the partner repository,  works fine most of the time
[09:04] <dibblego> violinappren: what is the partner repository?
[09:04] <violinappren> dibblego: you will find it in Software Sources
[09:05] <violinappren> dibblego: after enabling it you will be able to install 3rd party software packages has been tested by canonical  like skype and flash
[09:06] <violinappren> dibblego: that have been *
[09:09] <dibblego> alrighty, here goes then
[09:10] <dibblego> I still see "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed."
[09:11] <violinappren> dibblego: uninstall the flashplugin-installer first
[09:12] <Celltech> What are minimal disk iso's
[09:13] <dibblego> violinappren: I had
[09:14] <violinappren> dibblego: did you restart firefox? also check about:plugins in a new tab
[09:14] <y0om4> hi
[09:14] <DarthKegRaider> hello
[09:15] <dibblego> violinappren: yes, Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202
[09:16] <Xtreme> hello, guys my ubuntu seems slow.. how can i speed it up?
[09:16] <y0om4> what directory does apt-get use to download files in? i need to clear that directory for space
[09:16] <Xtreme> i noticed applications are taking more time to start
[09:16] <bekks> Xtreme: Define "slow" please.
[09:16] <jrib> y0om4: see the "clean" and "autoclean" commands in « man apt-get »
[09:16] <violinappren> dibblego: does that happen on a specific site or every site that uses flash?
[09:16] <Xtreme> bekks: application takes time to start
[09:17] <bekks> y0om4: "sudo apt-get clean"
[09:17] <dibblego> violinappren: I am seeing it on github and I have seen it on a few others lately
[09:17] <DarthKegRaider> Xtreme: Also, what version are you using?
[09:18] <violinappren> dibblego: even in other browsers?
[09:18] <Xtreme> DarthKegRaider: 10.4
[09:18] <dibblego> violinappren: no, only firefox
[09:19] <violinappren> dibblego: what version? see in help > about

[09:20] <Sant> hello..i'm trying to install linux kernel 2.6.27 in virtual box. i started from source n compiled it. Now i have vmlinux file and i wanted to know if it is sufficient to create a bootable iso from it or i need to make it bootable somehow?
[09:20] <lostpw> hello, can anybody help me withe bumblbee and the libgl.libs. my problem is that i want to start an program whitch uses the libgl but i dont want to do this with my nvidia card
[09:21] <bekks> Sant: No.
[09:21] <Xtreme> anyone?
[09:21] <violinappren> dibblego: try running firefox in safe mode and see if the problem persists: firefox -safe-mode
[09:21] <bekks> Sant: All you have to to is to copy it to your /boot in your VM, create a grub entry, and to install the modules. You really should go about creating .debs for y new kernel instead of installing it that way.
[09:22] <jrib> !helpme | Xtreme
[09:22] <dibblego> violinappren: same problem
[09:22] <violinappren> Sant:  that's something for qemu/kvm .. not virtualbox
[09:23] <LjL> violinappren: why wouldn't it work in virtualbox?
[09:23] <Sant> bekks: i am relatively new to linux. How can i create a grub entry in vm?
[09:23] <violinappren> Sant: with qemu you can boot the kernel directly, no need to create an iso
[09:23] <bekks> Sant: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[09:23] <bekks> Sant: You should read that document and do it that way, not the manual way you are approaching.
[09:23] <Sant> ok thanks...
[09:24] <bekks> LjL: It will work, but it far more complicated :)
[09:24] <violinappren> LjL: it cant boot a kernel, as far as i know, but a whole OS, see man qemu
[09:24] <lostpw>  can anybody help me?
[09:24] <Sant> violinappren: is it not possible to boot kernel directly without iso?
[09:24] <bekks> Sant: No.
[09:24] <DarthKegRaider> Xtreme: Ensure that your software is up to date for a start.  Also, is it every application, or only a specific few?  Do you hear any sounds?  Is there any other feedback you can supply from logs?
[09:24] <Sant> okay
[09:25] <jjava501> looking at cfdisk /dev/sda how do you know which partition ubuntu is installed in?
[09:25] <violinappren> Sant: bekks: yes it's possible, see the man page of qemu
[09:25] <LjL> Sant: it's possible with qemu, they just said that. it's not possible with VirtualBox, because VirtualBox emulates an entire PC so you can only boot whatever you can boot on a real PC
[09:25] <bekks> Sant: And for booting a kernel with an ISO, you need qemu, not vbox.
[09:25] <bekks> violinappren: As I just said ;)
[09:25] <violinappren> bekks: withOUT an iso
[09:25] <LjL> (i still don't get why a kernel bundled in an ISO wouldn't work with VirtualBox)
[09:26] <Sant> bekks: but a lot of places i have seen vbox using iso to boot
[09:26] <bekks> Sant: Right, and ISO that boot an OS, and not just a single kernel.
[09:26] <bekks> Thats the difference.
[09:26] <violinappren> LjL: it would but it wouldnt be any different from any other operating system, qemu is special in that it has direct support for linux kernels
[09:26] <Joseph_> Hello all
[09:26] <Sant> oh ok ..so that means i cannot boot a single kernel  in vbox
[09:27] <Sant> ?
[09:27] <bekks> Sant: Yes, for the fourth time :)
[09:27] <Joseph_> I am a new Ubuntu user, I am a very new user (4 hours ago) and I have some simple questions
[09:27] <violinappren> Joseph_: hello, go ahead and ask :)
[09:28] <Joseph_> Can I install windows 7 in virtual box when all I have are the factory disks and bootable disks that i burned for myself in windows 7
[09:28] <Sant> okay...thats quite an enlightenment..will have to change approach
[09:28] <Joseph_> within ubuntu
[09:28] <Sant> :)
[09:28] <Joseph_> or Recovery disk
[09:29] <bekks> Joseph_: Thats not an Ubuntu problem, please join #vbox
[09:29] <Joseph_> ok thank you
[09:29] <MrNatewood> Is there a way to check when(what time) did I resume my laptop from suspend?
[09:29] <violinappren> Joseph_: you can install almost all popular operating systems under virtualbox on ubuntu, windows included
[09:29] <Sant> bekks: could you also suggest where i can begin with kernel programming? some website or something?
[09:30] <bekks> Sant: I gave you a link.
[09:30] <violinappren> MrNatewood: /var/log/kern.log?
[09:30] <Sant> ok i'll check that
[09:31] <MrNatewood> violinappren: Thanks!
[09:33] <jjava501> what  prerequisites are required for a partition to have ubuntu installed?
[09:34] <violinappren> jjava501: just enough space? it can/will be formatted during install
[09:34] <jjava501> Does it have to be bootable?
[09:35] <violinappren> jjava501: not in a DOS sense, no
[09:35] <zykotick9> jjava501: no, grub doesn't care about the bootable flag
[09:36] <jjava501> What is the purpose/use of the linux Swap partition?
[09:36] <oCean> !swap | jjava501
[09:36] <zykotick9> jjava501: virtual memory (hybernation), you should probably use one
[09:37] <scar3crow> jjava501: I can help with partitioning if you want
[09:39] <shape> When you scroll forward in vlc, the timestamp appears. Is it possible to disable this? The timestamp numbers are huge and are over the video.
[09:41] <Manneveru> hi

[09:46] <rfictus> who wants to help fix my screen brightness quickkeys ??
[09:49] <Manneveru> my problem is that parbolign bet screwed upgrade an I left with broken libc6 package, so I finally got it purged from the system and now I am booted from DVD but I cannot install it again. The problem is that preinstall script cannot run (http://pastebin.com/LbkVYvfU) and I cannot override it. How to install libc6 on /mnt mounted root being on live DVD?

[09:50] <Manneveru> LjL: thx i'll move there
[09:53] <shape> I remember back when I had Ubuntu 8.10 and was looking for help that this channel was going crazy. Question after question, so many people looking for help. And now it's quite compared to that. What actually happened? Less people using ubuntu? More people looking and finding the problem on google? Any idea what happened?
[09:59] <Areckx> Hmm
[09:59] <o2simo20> hi all
[09:59] <Areckx> hi there
[10:00] <Areckx> Trying out different versions of ubuntu until I find the right one for my system
[10:01] <Areckx> I know that once linux has been configured properly, it will work for a long time without failure.
[10:01] <bekks> Did you compare the checksum(s) of the iso(s) you downloaded?
[10:01] <Areckx> even though it doesn't work out of the box like other os
[10:01] <Areckx> I skipped that part
[10:01] <o2simo20> need a little info about Precise Pangolin, im usin Maverick Meerkat, and im goin to switch to Precise Pangolin on the 26th / 27th
[10:02] <bekks> Areckx: Well, dont skip it, since maybe your download is just corrupted.
[10:03] <o2simo20> it uses a different interface, like a side menu on the desktop
[10:03] <Areckx> oh
[10:03] <o2simo20> whats the name of that
[10:03] <zykotick9> o2simo20: unity
[10:04] <o2simo20> ah thanks zykotick9
[10:04] <o2simo20> what does Maverick Meerkat use?
[10:04] <zykotick9> o2simo20: gnome2
[10:04] <o2simo20> Gnome?
[10:05] <o2simo20> ah ok, so is it possible to run gnome and not unity on ubuntu 12?
[10:05] <zykotick9> !notunity
[10:06] <zykotick9> o2simo20: but there is a gnome2-like environment for 12.04LTS... not sure on details
[10:06] <zykotick9> o2simo20: actually #ubuntu+1 might be a better place for your questions about 12.04
[10:11] <goksu> hi everyone :)
[10:12] <goksu> I'd like some advice concerning a Raid 5 arrangement.
[10:13] <YBinnenweg> Hello
[10:13] <bekks> ! ask | goksu
[10:15] <goksu> raid 5 = 4 disks -> 1 failed. now have new and better drive but I keep getting a "not large enough to joın array".
[10:15] <YBinnenweg> I am having problems using openGL acceleration in Runescape. I installed java, and it Runescape runs from my browser, but when I try to switch to openGL acceleration it tells me this is not possible. I am using Chromium browser, and my GPU is the ATI Radeon X1950XTX. I didn't install any other GPU drivers, I used the ones that came with Ubuntu 11.10.
[10:16] <goksu> because new drive is 4096 sectors versus the 512 and ı need to allıgn
[10:17] <bekks> goksu: I doubt thats the reason.
[10:17] <bekks> goksu: Just the the overall size of the new disk, it is smaller. But not due to the 4k blocks.
[10:19] <YBinnenweg> Is there anyone in here who can help me with that problem?
[10:19] <bekks> We dont know.
[10:19] <YBinnenweg> Ok, thanks.
[10:19] <bekks> YBinnenweg: And the shipped drivers most likely arent capable of 3D.
[10:20] <faceface> morning
[10:20] <YBinnenweg> Hmm okay
[10:20] <faceface> in the update gui, google-chrome-stable is there, but I can't check the box
[10:20] <faceface> why is that?
[10:20] <YBinnenweg> well I tried installing the fglrx drivers, but it totally disabled 3D, even in Gnome 3
[10:20] <bekks> faceface: Which Ubuntu do you use?
[10:20] <faceface> bekks: you'll laugh
[10:20] <bekks> YBinnenweg: Then something went wrong :)
[10:21] <YBinnenweg> 9.1?
[10:21] <goksu> bekks: total byte size is identical. after alignment block count is even bigger. I plan on doing a resize of the raid through resize2fs and mdadm--grow. will it work? I have data on the disk.
[10:21] <YBinnenweg> hmm.. scumbag ATI
[10:21] <faceface> Ubuntu 8.04 - the Hardy Heron - released in April 2008 bekks
[10:21] <bekks> goksu: If you have valuable data on that array, you have a backup of it. If not, just recreate the array.
[10:21] <YBinnenweg> lol
[10:21] <kxsaid> hello
[10:22] <faceface> hihi
[10:22] <OerHeks> !hardy
[10:22] <YBinnenweg> bekks: "Additional Drivers" doesn't show me anything though :/
[10:22] <oCean> faceface: 8.04 desktop edition is end of life, no more updates provided
[10:22] <faceface> whatever
[10:22] <goksu> bekks: the array size is 6terabytes. I do not have enough space to backup. that was why I had raid in the first place. for a little space.
[10:23] <oCean> faceface: ?
[10:23] <faceface> I see google-chrome-stable listed in the gui, but not clickable for update, why is it there?
[10:23] <bekks> goksu: So the data isnt valuable, since you have no backup. Basically. :) A RAID is NOT a backup at all.
[10:23] <oCean> faceface: because no more updates are provided.
[10:23] <faceface> oCean: oh, why is it listed as an update?
[10:24] <sacarlson> anyone able to install ubuntu 10.04 alternate with a usb driver or better yet from an added menu entry in grub2? seems it can't find the cdrom at install
[10:24] <oCean> faceface: because updates exist, just not for 8.04
[10:24] <faceface> strange... I guess the goolge repo isn't distro specific
[10:24] <goksu> bekks: a raid5 has some basic backup. I lost a drive and it still works. cant loose a second though. that is why I need to get that forth drive active.
[10:24] <goksu> bekks: thanks.
[10:25] <oCean> faceface: because it's end of life, 8.04 discussion is also offtopic. You should upgrade or re-install more recent release
[10:25] <faceface> right, it isn't
[10:25] <bekks> goksu: a RAID NEVER has a backup.
[10:25] <faceface> oCean: how come your last comment isn't off topic too?
[10:25] <faceface> anyway, thanks for help
[10:25] <faceface> power to the old hardware ;-)
[10:25] <faceface> cheers
[10:26] <bekks> goksu: However, unless you can backup your data, I wont play with resize2fs and mdadm --grow
[10:26]  * dwatkins thought recent Ubuntu versions ran quite well on old hardware
[10:29] <goksu> bekks:  thanks.
[10:29] <goksu> need to go. bye
[10:31] <konstantin_> hi
[10:31] <konstantin_> anybody there?
[10:32] <Laurenceb_> hi
[10:32] <Laurenceb_> can anyone help me with wifi?
[10:32] <shape> !ask > Laurenceb
[10:32] <savr> anyone using 12.4 with ruby1.9 and rails 2.3?
[10:32] <Laurenceb_> i have issues with my wifi running slow, then disconnecting, then i cannot connect
[10:32] <shape> !ask > Laurenceb_
[10:33] <Laurenceb_> i have to press the "wireless association" button on my router to connect
[10:33] <Laurenceb_> any ideas? is this a ubuntu issue or my router being weird?
[10:35] <shape> I don't think I can help you fully, but what Router do you have?
[10:35] <Laurenceb_> BT homehub
[10:35] <Laurenceb_> i wonder if its hand firmware remotely upgraded
[10:36] <shape> Laurenceb_: Do you have other computers connected to the router via wifi, and if you do, do they drop the connection as well?
[10:36] <Laurenceb_> shape: unfortunately not
[10:36] <Laurenceb_> i need to try with a windows machine
[10:37] <Laurenceb_> ok, ill try and grab an XP machine to test with
[10:37] <shape> there are ways to test the wifi in ubuntu, to check if everything is working properly (i.e. drivers, etc.) via command line
[10:37] <Laurenceb_> ok, go for it
[10:38] <shape> but I'm not that experienced in ubuntu so perhaps someone else might help you in that area
[10:43] <dell123456> salve
[10:44] <sacarlson> I can't beleave you can't install ubuntu 10.04 alternate with a usb flash drive, you get can't find cdrom.  do any of the newer alternate iso files fix this problem?
[10:45] <zykotick9> sacarlson: did you try unetbootin?  might be worth a shot?
[10:45] <ltlynx> Hello everyone! I've just installed Kubuntu 11.10 on my netbook it has an Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz processor, 1 GB of RAM. My problem is startup sound is delayed it doesn't play after the animation but it plays along with notifcations. What do I need to do to make it play ahead of the notifications?
[10:46] <sacarlson> zykotick9: no I can't even use the usb i'm doing it from a grub2 menu entry,  this system has only 256 meg and old bios with no usb boot support
[10:47] <azertyul> hi
[10:47] <sacarlson> zykotick9: and no working cdrom drives
[10:47] <azertyul> how to enable telnet when it not present ?
[10:47] <zykotick9> sacarlson: well good luck (with 256MB RAM, seems like a waste of time to me)
[10:48] <sacarlson> zykotick9: it's just a server
[10:49] <sacarlson> I think I should try the lubuntu but I'm not sure if it will have the same problem or not
[10:50] <jrib> sacarlson: why wouldn't you start with ubuntu server edition?
[10:50] <sacarlson> jrib: that also has the same problem with can't find cdrom from a grub2 menu add
[10:51] <jrib> sacarlson: how did you create the usb?
[10:52] <Knows_Nothing> hello
[10:52] <sacarlson> jrib: the system still has a running partition to boot ,  from there I edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom to make install with an iso file
[10:52] <Knows_Nothing> have a problem with postfix, has anyone postfix knowledge?
[10:53] <bekks> ! ask | Knows_Nothing
[10:53] <juniour> yep tell
[10:53] <juniour> postfix
[10:53] <Knows_Nothing> k thanks bekks
[10:53] <juniour> ya
[10:53] <sacarlson> jrib: I run into this problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1486515
[10:54] <Knows_Nothing> I cant "send" a mail to my postfix server. The mail is in the log, but i get (on my web email account) a mail back with the title "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender"
[10:54] <jrib> sacarlson: and what happens when you try the solution posted in that thread?
[10:55] <sacarlson> jrib: I think they do it from a usb were as I don't
[10:55] <jrib> sacarlson: well they mount the iso, can't you do the same?
[10:55] <juniour> sacarlson chang you boot order kepp usb to first
[10:55] <sacarlson> jrib: but I'm thinking about trying something like it but first I'll try lubuntu
[10:55] <juniour> k
[10:55] <jrib> !install | sacarlson
[10:56] <sacarlson> juniour: this old system won't boot usb, no bios support
[10:56] <jrib> sacarlson: there might be some useful info on those wiki pages too
[10:56] <juniour> k
[10:56] <juniour> than install with ubuntu live cd
[10:56] <juniour> k
[10:57] <sacarlson> I did also try the mini.iso but can't figure that out eather
[10:57] <sacarlson> juniour: no working cdrom drives any place around here any more
[10:59] <jrib> sacarlson: there's a link on the wiki about installing from an existing linux install.  I'd give that a read-through.  I also believe the instructions given in the thread linked from the original forum thread you posted would work; you just need to read and apply it to your situation
[10:59] <sacarlson> jrib: that's the method I am presently using
[11:03] <sacarlson> looks like lubuntu might work as it only requires 128 meg mem
[11:08] <vooze> How do i enter "Gsettings" to edit a gnome shell extension?
[11:10] <case_> hello, I need to find and old Firefox version (10) to run my integration tests, but I am not able to find one. Any suggestions?
[11:10] <HeliusCron> google old versions of FF
[11:11] <case_> HeliusCron: I can only find v3, I need 10
[11:13] <HeliusCron> http://www.top10download.com/?dl_id=3248
[11:13] <HeliusCron> well
[11:13] <HeliusCron> thats for windows sorry
[11:13] <case_> you're saying I should use Windows? :)
[11:14] <nelson8874> I have dual boot. Windows 7 and Linux Mint. I want to install ubuntu over mint, and substitute it. Is it possible?
[11:14] <viveshen> just run mint off stick
[11:15] <nelson8874> viveshen: sorry, i don't understand....
[11:16] <LjL> nelson8874: it's possible and should be pretty easy
[11:16] <scar3crow> nelson8874: totally... if you have a seperate /home ;)
[11:16] <LjL> nelson8874: just select manual partitioning in the installer, and use your Mint partition(s) as your Ubuntu's new partition(s)
[11:16] <LjL> nelson8874: but yes, mind your data, because by default they will be lost
[11:17] <nelson8874> LjL: will i not screw grub?
[11:17] <LjL> nelson8874: well you will lose Mint's GRUB, but Ubuntu will install its own version and that should be fine
[11:18] <nelson8874> LjL: and will it make a new clean dual boot?
[11:18] <LjL> nelson8874: if all goes well, yes. it's supposed to recognize Windows automagically and let you dual-boot
[11:19] <HeliusCron> anyone running truecrypt with a dual boot of win7/ubuntu?
[11:19] <UnconventionalT> I have a question. If I'm running Ubuntu and gnome, and I want to install K apps (like Krita, for example), ubuntu downloads the entire oxygen icon set. Is there any way to have all of my KDE apps use gnome icons, instead?
[11:20] <nelson8874> LjL: ok. I will try it. If you don't see me in a few min/hours, thats because i f*** my pc... :)
[11:21] <LjL> nelson8874: good luck :P
[11:21] <dermarktler> hey
[11:21] <dermarktler> ♥
[11:22] <UnconventionalT> Essentially, all I'm asking is if there's a KDE icon theme that can just symlink to all of the Gnome icons.
[11:32] <shape> Does anyone know if you can set up Thunderbird with Hotmail imap?
[11:32] <scar3crow> shape yep
[11:43] <cassiopeia_> is it possible to make "grep" post the first line of a file, then "grep" the rest of what i specify?
[11:43] <cassiopeia_> and still have it play nice with | column |
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> cassiopeia_  use awk
[11:47] <bby> hey
[11:48] <bby> im in
[11:49] <bby> ping www.google.com
[11:49] <bby> someone there?
[11:49] <dlentz> !ping
[11:53] <cassiopeia_> cat someCSVfile.csv | column -s, -t | less -#2 -N -Sn| grep 'takemetothemoon' // i have that command ?to pull lines from a large .csv file, how would i use awk instead to pull the first line and still have the ability to pull specific lines or grep for data
[11:55] <boobies> hi
[11:55] <boobies> who wants to help me run through recommended updates??
[11:56] <dlentz> run through recommended updates?
[11:58] <lan3y> we should take people as seriously as their nick names on here
[11:58] <boobies> dlentz: yes, please tell me which ones are absolutely essential
[11:58] <dlentz> do i get multiple choice?
[11:59] <boobies> dlentz: yes, 270
[11:59] <Wiz_KeeD> hey guys
[11:59] <dlentz> boobies, you generally install all of them unless you have a slow net connection
[11:59] <boobies> dlentz: but if i do that, my quick brightness keys don't change screen brightness no more
[12:00] <ghil> Oh, the nice feeling. waking up in the morning, starting your computer, and see Linux there for the first time in a while. :P
[12:00] <boobies> dlentz: only bar moves
[12:02] <root1> Jotak : -----
[12:02] <dlentz> boobies, the only essential updates are security updates
[12:02] <boobies> dlentz: true but i can't play nexuiz now
[12:03] <bunny69> what is the good cpulimit tool that can work with multicore?
[12:03] <boobies> dlentz: which updates is essential to get the graphics card running optimally
[12:03] <dlentz> boobies, depends on your graphic card
[12:03] <lan3y> boobies, the driver is a good place to start
[12:03] <Stanley00> bunny69: what do you mean by "cpuimit"?
[12:04] <boobies> dlentz: true but which one is it ?
[12:04] <lotus> I find that the volume control in ubuntu only effects the volume between range 0% (minimum) - 20% (max)  -- any higher and it just doesn't change.
[12:04] <lotus> How can I get more precise control over my volume?
[12:05] <dlentz> boobies, what GPU do you have (look at lscpi command if not sure)
[12:05] <dlentz> lotus, have you tried alsamixer?
[12:05] <boobies> dlentz: how to run the command ?
[12:06] <lotus> dlentz: Hitting "volume +" on my keyboard is changing the levels in alsamixer (I'm watching it happen)
[12:06] <dlentz> boobies, open a terminal?
[12:06] <lotus> dlentz: actually, the volume is being increased on "Master" but nothing changes.  The volume below "20%" is being changed on "Front"
[12:07] <lotus> dlentz: For clarity, when "Front" meter moves up and down, the volume _actually_ changes.  When "Master" moves up and down, the volume remains constant.
[12:07] <boobies> dlentz: lscpi is not a known command
[12:07] <dlentz> sorry, lspci
[12:08] <PsiKlops> hi. i want to install avidemux on Oneric. can i add the debian multi media repository: deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org wheezy main non-free  or other to my sources.list ?
[12:08] <dlentz> lotus, i'm not sure :\ (i don't use gnome.unity or pulseaudio)
[12:09] <lotus> dlentz: yeah I'm just in gnome classic but w/ pulseaudio (10.04)
[12:09] <dlentz> PsiKlops, avidemux is in the repo
[12:09] <dlentz> !info avidemux
[12:09] <paissad> hello guys, what do Ubuntu version always get released on thursdays ?
[12:09] <paissad> why*
[12:10] <PsiKlops> dlentz, not in mine unfortunately ... very strange but true
[12:10] <lan3y> paissad, in time for a long weekend of getting it working and set up just the way we like it :D
[12:10] <dlentz> lotus, so you want your volume keys to control 'Front'?
[12:10] <lotus> paissad: So they're ready for download friday morning before work, install friday after work, setup over the weekend, and be ready by Monday for use?
[12:10] <lotus> dlentz: yes, in increments of 2 or 5%
[12:10] <lotus> paissad: just a guess
[12:11] <llutz> PsiKlops: then check your sources.list, change mirrors
[12:11] <paissad> lotus: lan3y okay
[12:11] <fredrik_> how do I gzip all files and subfolders into one big zip-file?
[12:12] <paissad> fredrik_: you mean how to google that ?
[12:12] <auronandace> PsiKlops: wheezy? are you using a debian repository on ubuntu?
[12:12] <lotus> fredrik_: I think you use tar cvzf file.tar.gz folder_to_compress/
[12:12] <llutz> fredrik_: tar czf bigfile.tgz /folder
[12:12] <lotus> fredrik_: the v flag is for verbose
[12:13] <fredrik_> paissad, isnt ubuntu on irc better than google it?
[12:13] <fredrik_> llutz, thanks!
[12:13] <lotus> fredrik_: lots of people like to see you put a little effort into finding the answer yourself
[12:13] <krzysztof> Cześć, jest wstanie udzielić mi porady, dot instalacji wtyczek flash na xubntu?
[12:13] <PsiKlops> auronandace, no, i thought wheezy would compair more to oneric
[12:13] <lotus> !translate krzysztof
[12:13] <lotus> ;P
[12:14] <dlentz> lotus, fire up gconf-editor and look at apps/gnome-settings-daemon , there may be a setting ther
[12:14] <auronandace> PsiKlops: never mix debian and ubuntu repos, things will break
[12:14] <PsiKlops> auronandace, but i wanted to
[12:14] <PsiKlops> ok
[12:15] <lotus> dlentz ty~
[12:15] <llutz> PsiKlops:avidemux should be in the standard-repos. check your sources.list and change mirrors if yours aren't holding it
[12:15] <PsiKlops> llutz, yoo, thanx
[12:15] <llutz> psakrii: make sure to have "multiverse"  enabled
[12:16] <llutz> sry psakrii, not you
[12:18] <lotus> dlentz: looks like only the keys are listed in there.  Thanks for the idea, though!  :)
[12:18] <lotus> dlentz: also, volume_step was in there :)
[12:19] <lotus> dlentz: actually, volume_step helped.  I set it to "1" instead of "6" and now I can just operate in the 20% range
[12:19] <lotus> hehe
[12:20] <lotus> it's like increments of "5" on the "front" slider
[12:20]  * dlentz gives lotus thumbs up
[12:21] <lotus> haugh fie!
[12:21] <lotus> yeuah!  ;P
[12:21]  * lotus goes back to work
[12:22]  * dlentz goes back to drinking
[12:22] <anonymx> halo

[12:39] <appi_uppi> hi
[12:40] <appi_uppi> how to extract DSDT from the bios on ubuntu 10.04
[12:40] <appi_uppi> what's the command?
[12:41] <appi_uppi> i'm trying to recompile DSDT as my system is getting heatedup
[12:41] <akem> last time i played with DSDT tables i bricked my motherboard.
[12:42] <appi_uppi> oh my god
[12:42] <dlentz> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/HardwareEnableWithDSDT#Dump_DSDT.2BAC8-SSDT
[12:42] <appi_uppi> but do you know how to extract DSDT from the bios?
[12:42] <akem> had to flash the BIOS cauze the table was messed up, didn't worked.
[12:42] <oCean> appi_uppi: probably need acpidump (it's in the repos)
[12:42] <akem> can't remember i used some Win32 intel tool iirc...
[12:42] <appi_uppi> i see
[12:43] <ssta> playing with your BIOS is a good way to toast the machine
[12:43] <appi_uppi> but can anyone tell the me exact command to extract information from bios/
[12:43] <appi_uppi> hehehe
[12:43] <oCean> appi_uppi: dmidecode shows lots of information
[12:44] <oCean> appi_uppi: see, this page http://www.arunviswanathan.com/node/63 mentions both dmidecode and acpidump
[12:44] <appi_uppi> but i'm not modifying any bios settings
[12:45] <appi_uppi> just trying to recompile dsdt
[12:45] <appi_uppi> i will see that link
[12:45] <ssta> you don't think the system table is a BIOS setting?
[12:46] <ironm> hello. Please allow me one question: how is it possible (if at all) to create a local ubuntu install repository from a ubuntu-server iso image doing it offline? Thank you in advance for any hints.
[12:46] <appi_uppi> ssta, yes it is
[12:46] <ironm> appi_uppi, thank you. do you know how?
[12:47] <oCean> ironm: this page describes how to setup PXE boot server, that's probably what you're after https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer
[12:49] <ironm> thank you oCean
[12:50] <o2simo20> is it like a structure? like linux> x11> gnome or linux> x11> unity
[12:51] <o2simo20> so in ubuntu 12 i can install gnome2 instead of unity or will this brk some stuff?
[12:51] <Therion87> GNOME2 isn't in repos anymore is it?
[12:51] <dlentz> o2simo20, gnome2 is dead, but lives on in zombie form as "MATE"
[12:51] <oCean> o2simo20: gnome2 is dead, no one is maintaining it. And 12.04 discussion is in #ubuntu+1 channel
[12:53] <o2simo20> thnks oCean and dlentz
[12:54] <Abhijit> !gnome
[12:55] <appi_uppi> oCean, not exactly :(
[12:55] <oCean> appi_uppi: ?
[12:56] <appi_uppi> oCean, no i dont know
[12:56] <oCean> appi_uppi: I have no idea what you are talking about
[12:57] <mouth1> hi, what package do i need to play mp3?
[12:57] <mouth1> i see there are 2 packages doing the same thing in the ubuntu software center
[12:57] <dlentz> mouth1, it depends on which player you're using
[12:58] <appi_uppi> oCean, i'm answering to your question
[12:58] <mouth1> "GStreamer extra plugins" and "Ubuntu restricted extras"
[12:58] <mouth1> both say that they play mp3
[12:58] <oCean> mouth1: you need the restricted extras: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[12:58] <dlentz> ubuntu restricted-extras is a metapackage (just depends on other packages)
[12:59] <ssta> there's an mp3 player installed by default.  Banshee?
[12:59] <mouth1> dlentz, oCean  what does that mean exactly? i'm trying to learn the words :D
[13:00] <oCean> mouth1: it's explained at the link I posted.
[13:00] <dlentz> a metapackage doesn't contain its own software, it just grabs other packages
[13:01] <dlentz> ubuntu restricted extras grabs "gstreamer exta plugins"
[13:01] <mouth1> ah
[13:01] <dlentz> that's why installing either one will enable mp3
[13:01] <mouth1> and i should install the restricted extras?
[13:01] <dlentz> yes, assuming they're legal (of course)
[13:02] <mouth1> i wonder why it says "unknown" in the license information and not open source
[13:02] <mouth1> what do you mean?
[13:03] <dlentz> i mean that restricted stuff may not be legal depending on your locality and men in uncomfortable shoes may show up at your doorstep
[13:03] <mouth1> haha ok
[13:03] <shape> stop scaring the guy
[13:03] <sattu94> Exactly..
[13:03] <shape> who comes up at your door
[13:03] <shape> because of the damn codecs
[13:03] <dlentz> the codec police!
[13:03] <shape> and microsoft fonts
[13:04] <ssta> nobody will come to your door probably
[13:04] <shape> jesus christ
[13:04] <mouth1> how would they even know
[13:04] <shape> first of all they have to know who he is
[13:04] <shape> and that he got those
[13:04] <shape> and you can't trace that
[13:04] <shape> and it's not even illegal stuff
[13:04] <ssta> the point is that the stuff in restricted is licensed under various not-free terms.
[13:04] <dlentz> http://www.thefreedictionary.com/facetious
[13:04] <LjL> ok let's just leave it at "it might be illegal depending on where you live"
[13:04] <appi_uppi> oCean, sorry.. i was suppose to answer to ironm
[13:04] <appi_uppi> ironm, i dont know
[13:05] <CQ_> how can I figure out which packages are eating up the most space on my system?
[13:05] <mouth1> ok guys, i have another question… coming from windows and lots of malware problems i am afraid of just installing anything i don't know the source of or is open source...
[13:05] <mouth1> is restricted-extras or gstreamer-extras "safe"...?
[13:05] <gvo> ye
[13:05] <gvo> yes
[13:06] <mouth1> but there is no source available and i am granting admin rights to it, right?
[13:06] <LjL> CQ_: dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Installed-Size}\t${Package}\n' | sort -nr | less
[13:06] <ironm> appi_uppi, what do you mean exactly?
[13:06] <prashant_123456> how to decrease panel height in ubuntu 11.10
[13:06] <sacarlson1> ok my solution with lubuntu to boot from grub2 worked.  I should have used this a long time ago instead of working to get ubuntu alternate to boot from a grub2 entry
[13:07] <dlentz> sacarlson1, context might help..
[13:07] <CQ_> ljl thanks
[13:07] <ironm> oCean, it looks like XCP can't use PXE server for VM installations
[13:07] <LjL> mouth1, it's still packaged by Ubuntu, so you're only granting admin rights to the package's installation scripts by Ubuntu. then, the codecs/things themselves will only use whatever privileges you run them with (typically your user's)
[13:08] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[13:08] <appi_uppi> ironm, i dont know about the BIOS system table
[13:08] <mouth1> ok thanks LjL
[13:08] <sacarlson1> dlentz: I couldn't get ubuntu alternate to boot from an added grub entry to boot iso as it fails to find cdrom,  seems this but is not been fixed
[13:08] <ironm> thank you appi_uppi
[13:08] <sacarlson1> but = bug
[13:09] <appi_uppi> ironm, all i'm trying to sort out the heat up issue in my laptop
[13:09] <dlentz> sacarlson1, ah, i see
[13:09] <dlentz> appi_uppi, what kind of laptop
[13:09] <omido> Hi. i'm noob. i just installed ubuntu and want to update it and install some apps on it. ubuntu software center says " Waiting for Jockey-backend to exit". what should i do ?
[13:09] <appi_uppi> dlentz, accer aspire 5536
[13:10] <jamjam> anyone know a guide/link on clustering x86 ubuntu?
[13:11] <ironm> appi_uppi, I guess the overheating issue you have is due to compiz (in case you use it)
[13:11] <omido> Hi. i'm noob. i just installed ubuntu and want to update it and install some apps on it. ubuntu software center says " Waiting for Jockey-backend to exit". what should i do ?
[13:12] <appi_uppi> ironm, should i remove it
[13:12] <ironm> appi_uppi, I use awesome as WM
[13:12] <ironm> yes appi_uppi  .. I would not recommend using compiz
[13:13] <appi_uppi> oh
[13:13] <omido> plz help me
[13:13] <appi_uppi> ironm, so shall i uninstall it from my system?
[13:14] <jamjam> !cluster
[13:14] <mouth1> omido: have you googled for the error message?
[13:14] <ironm> yes appi_uppi
[13:15] <appi_uppi> ironm, thank you.. i will it now
[13:15] <omido> mouth1: I'm on ubuntu 12.04 beta. i'm not sure if the info about the beta software is available on google
[13:15] <omido> i'm newbie
[13:15] <mouth1> omido: it is
[13:15] <gvo> 12.04 discussion is in #ubuntu+1 channel
[13:15] <omido> Should i keep using the 12.04 beta or use 10.04 or 11.10 ?
[13:15] <ironm> omido, there is still *only" beta version of ubuntu 12.04
[13:16] <mouth1> omido: i would not use 12.04 beta yet
[13:16] <mouth1> only for testing
[13:16] <dlentz> omido, does this command return anything?
[13:16] <dlentz> ps -e | grep jockey
[13:16] <gvo> omido I agree with mouth1
[13:16] <mouth1> install 11.10 and then when 12.04 is released install that
[13:16] <appi_uppi> ironm, wow
[13:16] <gvo> beta software isn't for newbies
[13:16] <kalle_r_> Hi, is Ubuntu windows xp?
[13:17] <appi_uppi> ironm, the heat has come down like anyting
[13:17] <gvo> kalle_r_: sure
[13:17] <ironm> appi_uppi, ;)
[13:17] <kalle_r_> is Ubuntu XP poop compatiable?
[13:17] <appi_uppi> ironm, shall i install awesome WM?
[13:17] <gvo> I've heard it said XP is poop/
[13:18] <oCean> gvo: please move on
[13:18] <bondmain_> So i just setup google authenticator on my ubuntu machine... and i was wondering can i make the code requried when logging into any of the tty as well as ssh... or is it ssh only?
[13:19] <appi_uppi> ironm, shall i install awesome WM?
[13:21] <Debolaz> Hmm, how do I disable the behavior where shift-alt becomes the meta key?
[13:21] <cuzzo> What's the best way to install glib > 2.3?  I can't seem to get > 2.3 with apt-get.
[13:23] <GirlyGirl> cuzzo: Why do you want that?
[13:23] <cuzzo> GirlyGirl, to install webkit from source.
[13:23] <ResQue> i think a word doc i have got has a mal vbscript in it. how can i open and view this vbscript with openoffice?
[13:24] <ResQue> i could not see anything to do with scripting on the menu, could someone point me in the right direction
[13:24] <zjfa_> hell
[13:26] <arianit> hi, kernels newer than 3.0.0-13-generic give me a blank screen. so although I have them uinstalled up to -17, they don't work. any ideas?
[13:28] <georgelappies> how can I disable the silent boot. i.e. I want to see the messages running up the screen of the system booting until X kicks in?
[13:30] <sattu94> I think Plymouth handles that..
[13:32] <satyanash> georgelappies, But I remember something else being responsible for showing the ubuntu loading screen since 11.04
[13:33] <bastidrazor> georgelappies: remove "quiet splash" in /etc/default/grub  then sudo update-grub
[13:36] <georgelappies> bastidrazor: its this line right "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash""
[13:36] <bastidrazor> georgelappies: yes, leave the "
[13:37] <bastidrazor> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""  is what you want
[13:37] <georgelappies> shot, thanks bastidrazor
[13:37] <georgelappies> let me reboot :)
[13:38] <bastidrazor> georgelappies: you're welcome. be sure to sudo update-grub afterwards
[13:43] <lotus> be sure to sudo rm -rf /* also ;P
[13:44] <lotus> no, no don't do that.
[13:46] <satyanash> lotus, You could get kicked for that.
[13:47] <shape> what does that do?
[13:47] <shape> remove what?
[13:47] <Sidewinder> !danger
[13:48] <oCean> lotus: don't suggest that again
[13:49] <elspuddy> hi, how do i give full access to a mac drive in ubuntu ?
[13:50] <synapse> is it possible to do a dist upgrade to the 12.04 (pre-release) if I am running lucid?
[13:50] <Horusofoz> @shape by the looks of it (newb here) removes (rm) all the contents of from root (/*) with the -rf switches
[13:51] <synapse> or will in 2 weeks, will that functionalty be available?
[13:51] <shape> Horusofoz: It will actually let you do that? o_O?
[13:51] <ssta> shape: it deletes every file on your system.  Not a command to be taken lightly (although some people seem to think it's funny to tell people to do it)
[13:51] <bastidrazor> synapse: yes, its beta and buggy but it is possible to upgrade now
[13:51] <synapse> bastidrazor: how do I do that?
[13:51] <shape> ssta: what does -rf mean
[13:51] <synapse> recursive/force
[13:51] <shape> o_O
[13:51] <bastidrazor> synapse: sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[13:51] <shape> where can I actually learn this stuff
[13:52] <ssta> shape: recurse (descend into subdirectories) and force removal.
[13:52] <rjman> shape: -r recurse -f force
[13:52] <bastidrazor> !teriminal | shape
[13:52] <ssta> shape: manpages, various wikis, tldp.org, lots of practice and hard work :)
[13:52] <bastidrazor> oops
[13:52] <shape> but if removes all files, how will it run?
[13:52] <bastidrazor> shape: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal   that'll help a bit
[13:53] <synapse> bastidrazor: that tossed an error saying it couldnt be done
[13:53] <ssta> shape: you'd be surprised.  Don't worry about it though, just don't do it
[13:53] <bastidrazor> synapse: what was the error
[13:53] <synapse> http://paste.ubuntu.com/931086/
[13:53] <rjman> shape: well, you won't be able to run it a second time...i don't think
[13:54] <wylde> shape, because most of your running processes are loaded into ram. rjman correct :)
[13:54] <shape> Jesus o_O
[13:54] <shape> btw, when i have something like
[13:55] <shape> a program pidgin for example
[13:55] <ssta> not unheard of for systems to stay up after it...for a while anyway
[13:55] <mirko_> !list
[13:55] <shape> what is the command to type after it, so taht you see the options that you have
[13:55] <wylde> until they need to access files on disk, heh
[13:55] <wylde> shape:  usually -h or --help
[13:56] <shape> oh ok
[13:56] <shape> thanks all!
[13:56] <oCean> shape: it differs. Sometimes it is --help or -h or it might show you help when no option is given at all. Also, you can use manual pages by using the  man pidgin  command
[13:56] <wylde> shape: for detailed info man <packagename>
[13:56] <shape> bastidrazor: thanks for the links!
[13:56] <synapse> bastidrazor: any tips/clues?
[13:57] <shape> oCean: wylde: thanks!
[13:57] <shape> Any good books on Linux to learn this stuff or is the wiki enough?
[13:57] <compdoc> google is as good as any book
[13:57] <oCean> !manual | shape
[13:58] <ssta> lots of books, wikis, google, manpages
[13:58] <oCean> shape: ^the manual is a little outdated, but still helpful
[13:58] <jacobrask> Neither my camera nor SD card reader mounts and doesn't even show up in fdisk. I see in dmesg that they are added, and they worked a couple of weeks back. I used another cable though, which I can't find now, and I might've upgraded my kernel since
[13:58] <ssta> the Ubuntu manual is a userguide, not a technical work
[13:58] <bastidrazor> synapse: it claims you may have unofficial packages not supported by ubuntu.
[13:58] <shape> Is this good? A Practical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming by Sobell
[13:58] <Horusofoz> shape: If it helps - A Command Line Primer for Beginners - http://lifehacker.com/5633909/who-needs-a-mouse-learn-to-use-the-command-line-for-almost-anything
[13:59] <synapse> I did, I just commented them out of sources.lst
[13:59] <rjman> shape: no books really help me...but www.linuxjournal.com gives good tips/projects with linux
[13:59]  * SaZha *laughing* >everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents< why not "endless task"
[13:59] <shape> Thanks a lot guys! I have lots to learn now!

[14:04] <ssta> sab0: you downloaded a .deb?  You need to use "sudo dpkg -i foo.deb"
[14:04] <skel> sab0: what is your platform?  x86_64 or x86?

[14:07] <sab0> skel, i will try 64 bit version
[14:07] <ironm> appi_uppi, I guess awesome is the right WM for users with long linux experience. If you want to try awesome you could download a bootable live image (booting from a USB stick) I have created in the past ...http://rsync.it-infrastrukturen.org/debian-live/binary-hybrid-wheezy-amd64-syslinux-awesome.iso

[14:10] <flux242> Hi, I'm trying to figure out if it possible to get notified if a davfs2 is mounted. Should udev help here and how the rule should look like in this case? At least SUBSYSTEM=="fuse" RUN+="/etc/showfuse.sh" doesn't seem to work
[14:10] <wylde> robertzaccour: you may also have better luck in #kubuntu.
[14:10] <robertzaccour> wylde, I waited several minutes, just trying to get some help
[14:10] <appi_uppi> ironm, sure
[14:10] <appi_uppi> ironm, thank you

[14:13] <killer1> can anyone tell me how to choose default bootloader /grub in linux dual booting
[14:13] <skel> or what link did you download from?
[14:14] <sab0> skel, google-talkplugin_current_i386
[14:14] <robertzaccour> skel, I saw that before but how do I add the ppa?

[14:16] <ezoe> Is there a way to hide User Account from upper bar?
[14:16] <ironm> appi_uppi, if you are not programmer or system administrator another WMs like gnome, lxde or kde are "better"
[14:16] <skel> robertzaccour: the fourth post shows you exactly what to type..
[14:17] <ezoe> Sometimes, I unintentionally switch user because of this.

[14:17] <Debro> how i can use unity with gnome
[14:17] <appi_uppi> ironm, i'm a programmer but a great programmer :D... ironm i have remove compiz what do you recommend lxde or kde?
[14:18] <skel> Debro: you can't. thats like asking how you can use a toyota with your chevy
[14:18] <skel> Debro: you can make gnome behave like unity and possibly the other way around
[14:18] <ironm> appi_uppi, kde seems to be more comfortable however kde needs a lot of RAM compare to lxde
[14:18] <sab0> I was trying to install it from terminal by using the command sudo apt-get install google-talkplugin_current_i386.....but giving me this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/931095/ ..can any one help please
[14:19] <skel> sab0: can you give me the link where you downloaded the deb?
[14:19] <appi_uppi> ironm, hmm
[14:19] <appi_uppi> ironm, heat has come down
[14:19] <mouth1> !ati
[14:20] <sab0> skel, http://www.google.com/chat/video/download.html?hl=en
[14:20] <GirlyGirl> appi_uppi: KDE doesn't need that much ram, its just that lxde needs less than normal ram
[14:20] <ironm> appi_uppi, yes .. it was due to compiz and it's hardware usage
[14:20] <GirlyGirl> appi_uppi: A typical kde session uses arround 320mb ram
[14:21] <appi_uppi> i see..
[14:21] <appi_uppi> then will install KDE
[14:21] <GirlyGirl> appi_uppi: give me a sec I have one useful link for you
[14:21] <appi_uppi> oh sure
[14:22] <GirlyGirl> appi_uppi: You are on 11.10?
[14:22] <robertzaccour> skel, I think I will try the beta version and see my luck there. I'd rather not have to switch to KDE just for 1 program if possible.
[14:22] <appi_uppi> GirlyGirl, 10.04
[14:22] <sab0> I was trying to install it from terminal by using the command sudo apt-get install google-talkplugin_current_i386.....but giving me this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/931095/ ..can any one help please
[14:22] <skel> robertzaccour: I understand, I have the same approach myself.
[14:23] <satyanash> A typical Fvwm session uses 30-40MB RAM..
[14:23] <GirlyGirl> appi_uppi: Hmm then it might be a bad idea ... kde in 10.04 is an old version and really not stable compared to the recent release
[14:23] <ironm> appi_uppi, why didn't you already move to ubuntu 11.10?
[14:23] <GirlyGirl> appi_uppi: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11501685&postcount=1

[14:23] <appi_uppi> upgrade?
[14:24] <appi_uppi> GirlyGirl, ironm oh
[14:24] <mneptok> sab0: the package is google-talkplugin (no _i386)
[14:24] <GirlyGirl> appi_uppi: Or you can wait for precise on th 26th and install kubuntu 12.04
[14:24] <bazhang> RobinJ, did you mean 10.04? 4.10 is not supported for a long time
[14:24] <appi_uppi> kubuntu
[14:24] <appi_uppi> GirlyGirl, sure then
[14:25] <mneptok> ironm: there are very good reasons to stay with an LTS release like 10.04 rather than update it to a non-LTS version. i do the same on a server here at home.
[14:25] <RobinJ> bazhang, no, 4.10 =D
[14:25] <appi_uppi> GirlyGirl, I'm really depending on you people @ moment.. however i will also go through the release notes for compatibility with accer aspire 5536
[14:25] <ironm> mneptok, yes ... if you use it as a server
[14:26] <mneptok> ironm: desktop, too.
[14:26] <bazhang> RobinJ, there's no support for that here.
[14:26] <appi_uppi> ironm, thank your very much
[14:26] <GirlyGirl> appi_uppi: What graphic card does it have?
[14:26] <RobinJ> meh i'll just reinstall it, it happens in 5 minutes anyway :p
[14:26] <mneptok> ironm: try telling enterprise IT with 6,000 desktop seats that all their users have to upgrade every 6 months. watch the Windows license fly off the shelves.
[14:26] <ironm> mneptok, well .. I don't use ubuntu for desktop
[14:27] <appi_uppi> GirlyGirl, VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics]
[14:27] <ironm> you are right mneptok  .. you can't do it .. tell 6'000 people to move every few months to another desktop
[14:28] <mneptok> ironm: that being said, sitting on a NON LTS release is equally silly.
[14:28] <Mikero_> Hi all, is there a changelog available for Ubuntu 12.04 containing all driver changes/updates? Or does anybody know if the wlan driver have changed? I'm currently having major problems with my wlan connection chocking up every couple of minutes, disconnecting and reconnecting seem to solve the problem, but only for a couple of minutes.
 synapse: its not liking them being installed
[14:29] <synapse> any ideas to remedy?
[14:29] <mneptok> Mikero_: things like that come to Ubuntu from the upstream Linux kernel project.
[14:29] <appi_uppi> GirlyGirl, however as my Guru said i should be recompiling my DSDT i think
[14:29] <bastidrazor> synapse: uninstall them.
[14:29] <synapse> forced to uninstall 3rd party to upggrade?
[14:29] <ironm> mneptok, just for private usage it is still OK .. better than use unstable coming version like 12.04
[14:29] <mneptok> ironm: +1
[14:30] <SirHackalot> Hello everyone I am new here and I was wondering if someone could help me out with building the latest 3.4.0-rc2 kernel from kernel.org the modules always fail to compile giving me this error "ERROR: "__modver_version_show" [drivers/staging/rts5139/rts5139.ko] undefined!"
[14:30] <mneptok> ironm: uhhhh ... "+1" in this case meaning "agreed" and not "wrong channel" ;)
[14:30] <bastidrazor> synapse: it appears what ever they are is causing a conflict.
[14:30] <ironm> mneptok, I am speaking about 11.10
[14:30] <ironm> OK ;)
[14:30] <synapse> ok, well, what happens when 12.04 really comes out?  I can never upgrade?
[14:31] <synapse> just because I have google chrome installed or something, shouldn't make a dist upgrade not work :/
[14:32] <GirlyGirl> !final
[14:32] <GirlyGirl> !final | synapse
[14:32] <mneptok> synapse: dist-upgrade does not move you between Ubuntu versions.
[14:32] <pangolin> synapse, you are not forced to uninstall 3rd party repos/apps. During the upgrade they get disabled and when the upgrade is complete you need to re-enable them.
[14:32] <synapse> then I guess I don't know where I'm going wrong
[14:33] <synapse> I am using update-manager as well
[14:33] <mneptok> synapse: are you trying to move from one release to the next?
[14:33] <GirlyGirl> Oops thought I was in the +1 channel disregard
[14:33] <synapse> trying to go from lucid to the pre-release
[14:33] <synapse> pre-release of 12.04 that is
[14:33] <pangolin> synapse, that is not possible
[14:33] <mneptok> synapse: i would strongly advise against that.
[14:33] <coolpro> Hello, I'm running Teamviewer on my remote computer. Though I forgot to write down the ID and Password. Is there any way to access that kind of data remotely?
[14:33] <synapse> can I go from lucid to anything else?
[14:34] <tarboxb> Hello everyone I am new here and I was wondering if someone could help me out with building the latest 3.4.0-rc2 kernel from kernel.org the modules always fail to compile giving me this error "ERROR: "__modver_version_show" [drivers/staging/rts5139/rts5139.ko] undefined!"
[14:34] <compdoc> coolpro, it would not be very secure if you could
[14:34] <mneptok> pangolin: 10.04 to 12.04 will be possible (LTS to LTS), but i'm not sure all that d-i/tasksel stuff has been ironed out thoroughly.
[14:34] <pangolin> mneptok, correct but not before the release
[14:34] <mneptok> pangolin: right, because of ironing out such stuffs.
[14:34] <pangolin> +1
[14:35] <coolpro> compdoc: I can run shell commands as a root remotely.
[14:35] <pangolin> so, anyway, synapse for help with 12.04 or upgrading to it please use #ubuntu+1
[14:35] <appi_uppi> GirlyGirl, you mean ubuntu 12.04?
[14:35] <GirlyGirl> appi_uppi: You wanted kde right?
[14:36] <mneptok> synapse: wait until 12.04 is actually released. when it is, running "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo do-release-upgrade" will get you 12.04.
[14:36] <synapse> !jobs
[14:36] <bastidrazor> synapse: looking at the top of that pastebin it shows that its wanting to upgrade to maverick
[14:36] <synapse> heck if I know
[14:36] <appi_uppi> GirlyGirl, i dont know if i can for it or just wait for ubuntu 12.04
[14:36] <synapse> is maverick next?
[14:36] <synapse> after lucid
[14:36] <mneptok> synapse: you need to wait until 12.04 is actually released.
[14:37] <synapse> which is in like 2 weeks, right?
[14:37] <mneptok> synapse: quite right.
[14:37] <coolpro> so i'm just wondering if there is a way to get Teamviewer ID and Password, using shell commands as root.
[14:37] <synapse> right now it is syaing "ubuntu 10.10 is available"
[14:37] <mneptok> synapse: look at the exchange pangolin and i had just above.
[14:37] <GirlyGirl> synapse: yes they go in alphabetical order ... apart from the warty warthog and hoary hedgehog
[14:37] <synapse> is it safe to update to that?
[14:38] <synapse> I guess, do I need to update to 10.10 before I can goto the next one?
[14:38] <mneptok> GirlyGirl: Breezy also.
[14:38] <pangolin> synapse, if you wait for two weeks you will be able to upgrade directly to 12.04 but not before it is released officially
[14:38] <GirlyGirl> synapse: No lts to lts upgrdes are possible but wait for the final release
[14:38] <wylde> synapse: if you upgrade to 10.10 the you will have to upgrade to 12.04 when it is released in stages. 10.10 --> 11.04 --> 11.10 --> 12.04
[14:39] <sab0> I was trying to install it from terminal by using the command sudo apt-get install google-talkplugin_current_i386.....but giving me this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/931095/ ..can any one help please
[14:39] <mneptok> sab0: i already answered you.
[14:39] <synapse> I see
[14:39] <sab0> mneptok, i tried but having the same error
[14:39] <synapse> thanks all
[14:40] <mneptok> sab0: pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get install google-talkplugin"

[14:41] <KarateKip3> Hallow! I want to install Ubuntu from USB, but how do I put Ubuntu on that USB-stick? Should I just extract the ISO and copy it? I tried that before, but i got some strange error. BTW, i am copying Ubuntu to the USB stick on a Windows 7 machine, then I transfer it to the machine where it will be installed.
[14:42] <GirlyGirl> KarateKip3: Are you using windows?
[14:42] <mneptok> sab0: which release of Ubuntu?
[14:42] <GirlyGirl> KarateKip3: Sorry didn't read ... use a program called unetbootin
[14:42] <KarateKip3> GirlyGirl: I am using windows to download and copy the ISO to the USB-stick, yes
[14:42] <ironm> does anyone use apt-mirror on ubuntu 11.10? .. I need the /etc/apt/mirror.list file for ubuntu. Thank you in advance ;)
[14:42] <sab0> mneptok, 10.04
[14:42] <chrisinthedark1> Random thing generator --> www.worandom.com
[14:43] <GirlyGirl> KarateKip3: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net  ... select the from iso option
[14:43] <KarateKip3> GirlyGirl: thnx, i will look for unetbootin
[14:43] <wylde> !info google-talkplugin
[14:43] <oCean> chrisinthedark1: wrong channel?
[14:43] <mneptok> sab0: i'm not sure that package exists in Lucid repos.
[14:44] <ironm> KarateKip3, do you have cygwin on your windows PC ?
[14:44] <chrisinthedark1> @oCean sorry
[14:44] <chrisinthedark1> oCean: sorry
[14:44] <sab0> mneptok, i dont know,thats why i am asking help again and again,if i can solve my problem theres not reason to ask the same thing
[14:45] <mneptok> sab0: on 11.10 (which i'm using) that package is in the Main repo, marked optional. apt tools should see it without adding or uncommenting other repos.
[14:45] <GirlyGirl> KarateKip3: Set your bios to boot from usb as well, I assume you know how to do that
[14:45] <if124> sab0: have you tried " dpkg -i google-talkplugin_current_i386.deb " ?
[14:46] <mneptok> sab0: on my 10.04 server, the package is also not available.
[14:46] <sab0> if124, i will try
[14:46] <ironm> does anyone use apt-mirror on ubuntu 11.10? .. I need the /etc/apt/mirror.list file for ubuntu. Thank you in advance ;)
[14:46] <mneptok> sab0: so it's not just you. 10.04 users do not have that package in a default repo.
[14:46] <if124> sab0: use sudo before it, i forgot
[14:47] <sab0> if124, thank you so much
[14:47] <sab0> if124, its done
[14:47] <mneptok> sab0: you could see if Google's Chrome repo offers that package by adding the Chrome stuff to sources.list
[14:47] <sab0> mneptok, thanks to you also,but when you dont know something please pass other,this is a place to help people
[14:47] <mneptok> sab0: excuse me?

[14:54] <Lil> omido; avoid 12.04
[14:55] <omido> What version of ubuntu is more suitable for a newbie like me ? at the moment i'm using 10.04
[14:55] <mneptok> omido: you will be able to upgrade that 10.04 to 12.04 in one go if you wait until 12.04 is officially released.
[14:55] <sidney> does Ubuntu use Nfs by default
[14:55] <pangolin> omido, you will be offered to upgrade when the release is official, 2 weeks.
[14:55] <elspuddy> hi, iv just put my old mac hard drive in my ubuntu  11.10 box , how can i give my sell full access to the drive ? ?
[14:55] <mneptok> elspuddy: you want to read the info on the Mac's disk?
[14:56] <elspuddy> mneptok, yes so i cna back it up before formating it
[14:56] <en1gma> i googled "ubuntu release schedual" and it shows a stable version should be out in april. we are 1/2 through april now. is there a date that we can expect it to be released?
[14:56] <sidney> what file share system does Ubuntu use
[14:56] <omido> ext4
[14:56] <Toph2> en1gma,,, someone just said, in 2 weeks
[14:56] <mneptok> elspuddy: i'm not HFS+ guru, but last i knew the kernel's support for that filesystem was kinda sketchy.
[14:57] <en1gma> i just joined this channel less then a min ago
[14:57] <sidney> omido, ?
[14:57] <pangolin> en1gma, 26th see topic in #ubuntu+1
[14:57] <Toph2> en1gma,,, ok,, sorry

[14:58] <elspuddy> mneptok, o.k thanks
[14:58] <en1gma> ahh
[14:58] <Myrtti> omido: did you want to read the data already on the disk, or reformat it?
[14:59] <omido> I'm newbie and i just installed ubuntu 10.04 . i wanted to make sure what version of ubuntu is right for me ? 11.10 or 10.04 or 12.04 beta?
[14:59] <Myrtti> sorry, elspuddy ^
[14:59] <elspuddy> Myrtti, mainley read it,
[14:59] <Lil> omido: 11.10
[15:00] <Myrtti> elspuddy: do you know what filesystem it is now? HFS?
[15:00] <elspuddy> i know i can read some of the drive, but say's i dont have access to read the users part
[15:00] <sidney> omido,  what network personal file share system Nfs- sshfs-scp?
[15:00] <elspuddy> disk utillity says hfs+
[15:01] <omido> sidney:  sorry but i dont know about that .i'm newbie and i previously been using openSUSE and now i migrated to ubuntu
[15:01] <covi> Hi all. I have some Chinese-named files on my computer. Some of them are displayed properly, and others are simply just a bunch of '?' question marks. What could possibly go wrong and how can I fix it?
[15:03] <elspuddy> Myrtti,  disk utillity says hfs+ , i know i can read some of the drive, its just says i cant read parts of the drive like the users folder
[15:03] <Myrtti> elspuddy: it is possible that Linux doesn't support HFS fully
[15:03] <Myrtti> elspuddy: however I'm not too wellversed in the details
[15:04] <en1gma> cant wait. i hope my wusb600n v2 (rt3572) will have native support for compat-wireless so i can get into promiscuous mode
[15:04] <en1gma> does anyone know if it will?
[15:04] <KarateKip3> I copied the latest 32-bit Ubuntu to a USB-stick using Unetbootin, but now when I boot on the target machine I get this error: SYSLINUX 4.03 2010-10-22 EDD Load error - Boot error, what could be wrong?

[15:23] <GH0> Hello, I sortave have an interesting issue here. I have apache2 installed, as well as apache2-common. However when I go to run the command sudo a2enmod ssl it comes back with the error "ERROR: Module ssl does not exist!". I just checked my mods_avail folder, and there is nothing listed. I attempted a reinstall of apache2-common to see if that would dump the module into the folder, but it doesn't

[15:25] <killed> kk i will give it  a try : auronandace
[15:26] <x010100x> there's a kind of tool who help me to make a restoring point, like restore the system before installing a package or soft
[15:26] <oCean> GH0: that's weird, ssl mod should be part of the -common package.. what version ubuntu?
[15:26] <GH0> 11.10
[15:26] <GH0> I think something is completely wrong with the installation. Is there a way to just clear out the entire apache2 installation (include etc, var/www, and other folders/files)?
[15:27] <GH0> Then start from scratch?
[15:27] <auronandace> !backup | x010100x
[15:27] <oCean> GH0: hang on, I'll start a 11.10 VM, see if the ssl module is there

[15:28] <oCean> GH0: ahh, ok. Yes, in that case I think a reinstall apache again, after an apt-get purge apache2-common

[15:54] <arbiel> Hi there
[15:54] <erpo> mouth1: Is it the right size with the right partitions?
[15:54] <arbiel> I'm experiencing a difficulty with the unmounting of an iso file previously mounted without the sudo command. For that purpose, I added a line into my /etc/fstab file with the noauto,users options. Before issuing the mount command, I create a softlink to target the iso file I want to mount. The mount command works perfectly. The mount command (no parameters, no options) lists the mounted files, and this listing lists the iso file itsel
[15:55] <auronandace> !iso | arbiel
[15:55] <arbiel> So the umount command does not accept the unmounting of the file without the sudo command. When I use hardlinks instead of softlink, everything works perfectly. Does anyone know where I missed an option to have the softlist recorded in the mtab file, or if this behaviour is faulty and should be recorded to the developpers ?

[15:56] <iNeal> How can I know if grub is working or not?
[15:56] <auronandace> iNeal: boot from it
[15:56] <froginvasion> exactly...
[15:56] <iNeal> I mean on a server
[15:57] <arbiel> ubottu :  I'm sorry, I know how to mount an iso file as you instruct me to do. The problem is I do not want to have to use sudo
[15:57] <auronandace> iNeal: servers need to boot too
[15:57] <erpo> arbiel: It doesn't make sense to allow users to mount a softlink because a softlink could go anywhere. You might as well allow users to mount anything anywhere. Try cdemu for your "mount as a user" needs.
[15:57] <iNeal> I'm trying to update my kernel and according to the tutorials, it should work
[15:57] <auronandace> arbiel: why don't you want to use sudo for mounting?
[15:57] <iNeal> The kernel that is right now is not even on the gurb list anymore
[15:57] <mouth1> erpo: yes
[15:58] <mouth1> it is the right size and the right hard disk
[15:58] <arbiel> erpo : I'm sorry, it makes senses. All this will be recorded into a bash script which I control
[15:58] <erpo> mouth1: You're worried because it's a SATA/ATA disk and it's showing up as SCSI?
[15:58] <mouth1> yes
[15:58] <froginvasion> iNeal let grub regenerate it's config file and update accordingly, and are you sure the kernel is still on your hard disk?
[15:58] <mouth1> i have AHCI enabled in BIOD
[15:58] <auronandace> arbiel: so you want anyone to mount anything anywhere?
[15:58] <mouth1> BIOS
[15:58] <mouth1> does that matter?
[15:59] <erpo> mouth1: That's normal now. Linux classifies a lot of SATA/ATA controllers as SCSI controllers. Continue. :)
[15:59] <arbiel> auronandace : that's because users are disabled people, and the less they have to do, the better
[15:59] <auronandace> arbiel: and you don't see the potential security issues of that?
[15:59] <iNeal> froginvasion: I did regenerate the config. The old kernel (that i don't want) is not. And the generic one that I want is.
[16:00] <arbiel> auronandace : there is no security problem. The situation is as follows : the PC to be used are not connected to anything, no Internet, no network. The iso files are Windows games which I want to run with Wine
[16:01] <auronandace> arbiel: how do you keep them up to date?
[16:01] <erpo> arbiel: Use cdemu.
[16:02] <froginvasion> iNeal i can assume you'd rather not reboot before your config is okay.  but i have no clue from here on
[16:02] <erpo> arbiel: It even has a nice GUI frontend called gcdemu.
[16:02] <froginvasion> iNeal you might be more luck in #grub channel
[16:02] <iNeal> froginvasion: thanks

[16:28] <KarateKip3> why do i need to do MD5 checksum when i download the ISO? When I download other software and install, there's no errors because error checking is already done in the datalink layer and etwork layer (OSI-model), right?
[16:28] <physically_fit> auronandace, thanks for the suggestions.
[16:29] <DrArcheh> KarateKip3: the iso could be corrupt or modified on a mirror
[16:29] <luxius> Hello. So I found out my box drops eth0 and reconnects it using DHCP. I have hard coded it once, so it initially uses 192.168.1.100, but suddenly it decides to reconnect and use DHCP. Now ...
[16:29] <luxius>  I found out it was set to DHCP in /etc/network/interfaces ... changed that to static
[16:29] <luxius> but WHERE does it "circumvent" this setting and use the DHCP I earlier setup?
[16:29] <AnonV> v
[16:29] <luxius> I mean static IP, of course
[16:30] <jpds> DrArcheh: Then MD5SUM check it; it's probably not corrupted on the mirror as they're synced by rsync.
[16:30] <AnonV> hi
[16:30] <exploitable> Hello
[16:30] <auronandace> luxius: iirc networkmanager will overwrite /etc/network/interfaces
[16:30] <DrArcheh> luxius: NetworkManager?
[16:31] <AnonV> -_-
[16:31] <auronandace> AnonV: greetings
[16:31] <AnonV> hi
[16:32] <luxius> thanks, auronandace & DrArcheh - how do I get rid of it? =)
[16:32] <luxius> cause it obviously don't work ...
[16:34] <exploitable> Is Lubuntu faster than Xubuntu?
[16:35] <auronandace> exploitable: it is lighter
[16:35] <luxius> does anyone know how to get rid of NetworkManager?
[16:35] <exploitable> is it worth changing from Unity?
[16:35] <Gnea> luxius: install wicd
[16:35] <auronandace> exploitable: depends on what you like and how bad your performance is on unity
[16:36] <luxius> Gnea, what is wicd?
[16:36] <auronandace> !info wicd | luxius
[16:36] <luxius> exploitable, it is VERY MUCH worth getting rid of Unity
[16:36] <exploitable> auronandace: Well, I'm using a netbook....
[16:36] <luxius> I don't need another network manager, do I?
[16:36] <auronandace> exploitable: that doesn't tell me much
[16:37] <auronandace> exploitable: ironically unity is meant for netbooks
[16:37] <exploitable> auronandace: The Netbook Distro?
[16:37] <exploitable> auronandace: But Unity is sooooo slow (and buggy?)
[16:38] <luxius> Unity2d should use less resources, yes, but it's crappy and unstable
[16:38] <MonkeyDust> luxius  not according to people wjo like Unity
[16:38] <auronandace> exploitable: i haven't tried it myself, i'll try unity when they release 12.04 though, but i expect i'll end up sticking with xfce
[16:39] <Gnea> luxius: why do you need to get rid of networkmanager?
[16:39] <luxius> exploitable, I can recommend xfce
[16:39] <ProfessorBacon> i actually just started using unity, but on an older machine.  i like the new experience but it is pretty slow.  for example, changing from one channel to another in irssi takes about half a second.
[16:39] <luxius> Gnea, cause it doesn't work. I just want to use the settings in /etc/network/interfaces
[16:39] <exploitable> auronandace: I've used it before and it's very fast, but I think I'll try Lubuntu...
[16:40] <auronandace> exploitable: hope its fast for you
[16:40] <Gnea> luxius: well, you can't simply "get rid of it", but using the interfaces file automagically overrides anything that NetworkManager does.  I like to keep it because it will tell me when my network connection has been established and not established, that's about all that it's good for to me.
[16:40] <exploitable> auronandace: Well, we'll see. Bye.
[16:41] <Gnea> luxius: unless the interfaces file is setup the 'original' way, that is, the way it was installed as, networkmanager just won't work
[16:42] <luxius> Gnea, I'm just curious why it used to connect with a static IP and suddenly reconnects using DHCP. The interfaces file was setup to use DHCP - so where are the other settings hidden, and why wouldn't it use those on a reboot?
[16:43] <dadadu66> salut
[16:43] <Gnea> luxius: well, NM saves its settings elsewhere.  it sees that the interfaces file is original and then pulls its own config.  unless you tell NM to be useful for other users, it's only going to be used when you login
[16:44] <luxius> Gnea, that's actually smart, if it does indeed recognise changes ...
[16:45] <luxius> Gnea, good enough for me. Thanks for the answers =)
[16:45] <Gnea> luxius: cheers :)
[16:45] <luxius> I usually find my help in #debian, because ... honestly, they know more about the core system. But they refused to help me with this when I mentioned Ubuntu.
[16:45] <Gnea> yeah
[16:45] <luxius> I can't blame them, they are religious zealots, like most people are, but ...
[16:46] <Gnea> Ubuntu is not Debian, and vice versa... the only thing that's similar is the package management system (.deb files)
[16:46] <luxius> I know, but still? =)
[16:46] <Gnea> that's "core" :)
[16:46] <luxius> One did mention the location of interfaces (the file), which brought me to this point
[16:46] <luxius> which was helpful while trying to mock me ... -.-
[16:47] <Gnea> yeah, there are a lot of philosophical reasons why they won't do certain things... all within good reason
[16:47] <Jonathon> How can I delete a directory that when I try to delete only says Input/output error?
[16:47] <luxius> yes, within good reason, but the reason stops when the arguments are flawed
[16:47] <Gnea> Jonathon: ooo, that's bad. you should reboot and fsck.
[16:47] <luxius> Gnea, I mean, it's still iptables, /etc/network, etc.
[16:47] <Jonathon> Gnea, fsck comes up clean, shows no errors at all
[16:47] <DeLorean719> I'm running a wireless card in monitor mode, is there a way to specify a channel for it (I'm playing with aireplay and it's telling me that the channel of the AP doesn't match the channel of my mon interface)
[16:48] <Gnea> luxius: that's where many people go wrong.
[16:48] <luxius> really?
[16:48] <Gnea> Jonathon: force it: fsck.ext4 -f /dev/sdX#
[16:48] <Gnea> Jonathon: just make sure it's not mounted
[16:49] <Jonathon> Gnea, alright, I'll try that
[16:49] <comgen> Jonathon : drop to terminal BUT first warning this will PURGE THE DIR or ANY FILE you target type : sudo rm -rf DIRnameHere  , see what happens
[16:50] <Gnea> luxius: well yeah, they start making excuses that have nothing to do with the actual problem. they consider themselves experts and to not know something is, to them, a sign of weakness. :)
[16:50] <Jonathon> comgen, I get the same IO error
[16:50] <Gnea> comgen: that's what he's trying to do.
[16:50] <luxius> Gnea, thanks, that's EXACTLY what I was thinking.
[16:50] <luxius> Gnea, in a second I thought you meant "that's where most go wrong, it is NOT the same system"
[16:51] <Gnea> luxius: they lack that crucial bit that lets them consider a weakness as a strength, instead of simply attempting to purge it
[16:52] <Gnea> luxius: at any rate, this conversation has strayed toward off-topicness, but it was a good one, nonetheless :)
[16:53] <comgen> Jonathon : sounds like disk / filesys issues if you haven't already boot into recovery try : e2fsck -cfv /dev/sda-device-here
[16:53] <luxius> Gnea, you're right on all accounts. At least I feel a bit less alone in the world now ;)
[16:53] <Jonathon> comgen, Yea, I ran the fsck with the -f command, that found a bunch of stuff, so gonna remount now see if it's fixed
[16:54] <comgen> Jonathon : the " -c " flag will also check for bad blocks - will take awhile to run - best of luck
[16:55] <Jonathon> comgen, Thanks, but I believe the problem is resolved now :)
[16:55] <Jonathon> On to the next problem
[16:56] <Nik05> hey guys
[16:56] <Nik05> Is there a problem with passwd in Lucid?
[16:56] <Nik05> I wanted to change a password of a user and used sudo
[16:56] <Jonathon> The directory that was causing trouble was my sys directory, so now it's gone. Can I copy the sys from this livecd into the sys folder of my install?
[16:56] <Nik05> it asked for new password x2, and then it hang for 2 minutes
[16:57] <Nik05> after that it said password changed sucessfully
[16:57] <comgen> Nik05 : sudo passwd  = will change roots password not the user just type passwd
[16:57] <Nik05> sudo passwd username
[16:58] <Nik05> that should work right? and is it normal that it hangs for 2 minutes?
[16:58] <sorrow> I noticed that the NOPASSWD doesn't work in /etc/sudoers in my lucid build
[16:58] <sorrow> always still asks for the password when I use sudo
[16:59] <Nik05> euh thats not my problem
[16:59] <Jonathon> comgen, The directory that was causing trouble was my sys directory, so now it's gone. Can I copy the sys from this livecd into the sys folder of my install?

[17:01] <comgen> Jonathon : I would backup, reinstall / upgrade since you had system area file damage <<-- that's just my pref.
[17:02] <Guest41817> that aimed at me nik05?
[17:02] <Nik05> yes
[17:02] <aaa801> I have a ubuntu 11.1 dist running on a rack server i use for hobbie stuff, it is a headed unit, when i try and resume it from its standby thing it takes a long time for the pw box to popup
[17:02] <Nik05> you are dan
[17:02] <Nik05> right?
[17:02] <aaa801> is there any way i can make it either not go into standby
[17:02] <aaa801> ?
[17:02] <Guest41817> sorry changed my nick didnt realise i was hah!
[17:02] <luxius> dr3mro, you should concentrate on the hardware, not what software you want to run on it (that's a different question) - as long as it's running the kind of machine code you need (i.e. x86, x64, etc.)
[17:02] <Guest41817> ok so make it an executable then do /foo.run
[17:03] <Nik05> ./foo.run
[17:03] <Guest41817> sadly i have no idea how to do it mind telling me in seriously basic terms?
[17:03] <Guest41817> this is the first time ive actually used / installed linux
[17:03] <Nik05> well start your terminal
[17:03] <luxius> dr3mro, but you could check the hardware list for driver compatibility in Ubuntu repositories before buying anything =)
[17:03] <jovin> chmod +x file
[17:03] <Nik05> use cd to go to the directory
[17:03] <junaidnaseer> hi all, how can one see the parent directory of a deleted file using ntfsundelete ??? thanks ... :)
[17:03] <mouth1> should i install "GStreamer extra plugins" or "Ubuntu restricted extras"?
[17:03] <gridbag> where do you go to configure more workspacs? I see nothing in System Settings...
[17:03] <Nik05> do what jovin said `chmod +x file.run'
[17:03] <comgen> mouth1 : Ubuntu restricted
[17:03] <sorrow> luxius: yes
[17:04] <Nik05> then do `./file.run'
[17:04] <mouth1> thanks comgen
[17:04] <luxius> sorrow, then why not just log on as root? =)
[17:04] <Guest41817> o god im terrible at this
[17:05] <Guest41817> first times ive used terminal
[17:05] <sorrow> I'm sure someone is gonna inject some shellcode into xchat to root me
[17:05] <Guest41817> all new to me
[17:05] <Guest41817> appreciate the help btw
[17:05]  * aaa801 whips out backtrack and aims at sorrow
[17:06] <comgen> sorrow : give this a read if you're worried about #ubuntu support : https://help.ubuntu.com
[17:06] <tbrown> I need to know were I can learn the command on ubuntu so I can work with the server
[17:07] <luxius> Guest41817, I remember my first time on a linux (my own install, that is). I spent a good day or two trying to install nVidia drivers. Debian doesn't like anything without a FREE license. It involved compiling drivers and other stuff I've forgotten all about
[17:07] <Guest41817> haha yeah
[17:07] <luxius> Guest41817, those days I didn't have this kind of help ;)
[17:07] <Guest41817> well im good with computers and starting get prettygood with web design but this is a whole other world
[17:08] <comgen> tbrown : if you're new to linux servers give http://www.webmin.com a try
[17:08] <Guest41817> never used terminal or anything like it so its hugely different from what im used to haha
[17:08] <luxius> Guest41817, welcome to it. If it doesn't discourage you I bet it'll broaden your perspectives on IT ;)
[17:08] <auronandace> !webmin | comgen
[17:08] <fidel> tbrown: which "command"? or are you talking about general getting used to cli?
[17:08] <Guest41817> any other good sites to learn stuff? which i could book mark now?
[17:09] <luxius> Guest41817, http://www.debian.org/ - even if you use Ubuntu, you should get familiar with Debian as well.
[17:09] <luxius> Guest41817, just don't expect any "true" Debian users to help you, they disrespect Ubuntu plenty.
[17:10] <Guest41817> ah haha
[17:10] <Guest41817> well im sat here struggling with the cd function in terminals so im miles away from anything substantial to be honest
[17:10] <Guest41817> but ill save that
[17:10] <luxius> and even though I use Ubuntu I usually find more help in #debian :P
[17:10] <Guest41817> is debian annother distro?
[17:10] <luxius> yes
[17:10] <luxius> Ubuntu is built on the foundation of Debina
[17:10] <luxius> Debian*
[17:10] <Guest41817> ah
[17:11] <luxius> Debian is strict, BUT stable for the same reasons
[17:11] <luxius> Try to stear clear of Ubuntu bloatware, the Ubuntu Software Center is a good example. It doesn't work very well >_<
[17:11] <Guest41817> ok really rookie question here
[17:11] <Guest41817> im in terminal
[17:12] <Guest41817> i use dir i can see there is a download folder
[17:12] <luxius> Guest41817, I see Ubuntu as a Windoze version of Debian core. That's not precise, but close.
[17:12] <Guest41817> to go to that folder would i use cd /downloads/?
[17:12] <DeLorean719> what's a decent maca ddress changer I can get from apt-get?
[17:12] <o2simo20> just cd downloads
[17:12] <Juv1228> hello, im having some issues with gnome under ubuntu 11.10 here
[17:12] <luxius> Guest41817, get used to ls (list) as command, instead of dir
[17:12] <tbrown> comgen: What is WebMin is a distro or something
[17:12] <Guest41817> ah damn its cap sensitive
[17:12] <Guest41817> haha!
[17:12] <Guest41817> was wondering why it wasnt working !
[17:12] <Guest41817> brilliant
[17:12] <bynw> Guest41817: remember also that Linux is caSe SenSiTivE as well. So if the folder is Downloads you will need a D instead of a d
[17:13] <Juv1228> im using the 'gnome classic' at login and randomly it will crash of sorts and the theme goes to the bare bones looking one
[17:13] <Guest41817> yeah just had that problem
[17:13] <Nik05> Guest15469, cd Downloads ;)
[17:13] <Guest41817> ok so now im in the right folder!\
[17:13] <luxius> Guest41817, case sensitivity is saved from the old Unix days, which seems irrelevant but is in fact ingenious.
[17:13] <yeats> !webmin | tbrown
[17:13] <luxius> Guest41817, you should try tab completion. Type the first couple of letters, then hit the <TAB> key, it will try to complete your command/file name
[17:13] <Nik05> Guest15469, now time chmod +x and then the first letters of the file
[17:14] <Guest41817> ah!
[17:14] <Nik05> then press TAB, it will complete the file for you ;)
[17:14] <tbrown> Thanks: ubottu
[17:14] <Guest41817> doesnt seem to have done anything...
[17:14] <luxius> what?
[17:14] <Guest41817> what does the chmod function do?
[17:14] <luxius> change mode
[17:15] <testi> I installed packages from a foreign repository. How do undo this? I don't remember the packages.
[17:15] <luxius> you change different switches on a file
[17:15] <luxius> the x is for executable, so it has to have the x flag to be executed
[17:15] <luxius> try googling 'chmod' ;)
[17:15] <Juv1228> heres an example of what im talking about -> http://i.juvsoft.com/gnome-crash.png
[17:15] <Nik05> or type man chmod ;)
[17:15] <luxius> man
[17:15] <luxius> you NEED to know man
[17:15] <luxius> man (for manual) is the command to look up help files on ALL (debian verified) commands
[17:16] <Juv1228> my usual theme is the default ubuntu one
[17:16] <TechIsCool> I also tried to fix grub and here is what the output ran http://paste.ubuntu.com/930588/
[17:16] <luxius> Guest41817, try typing "man man" and hit enter =)
[17:16] <Guest41817> there is just so much to learn haha!
[17:16] <Guest41817> its brilliant
[17:16] <Guest41817> heh i will do the man man stuff after ive got these drivers on
[17:16] <Guest41817> its just so different from windows
[17:17] <Guest41817> took me forever to find out how to open terminal
[17:17] <Guest41817> is brilliant
[17:17] <luxius> right, well, you're in the exploration phase, man everything new. Like ... you can man sudo, man ls, man cd
[17:17] <luxius> at least I think you can xD
[17:17] <luxius> yup, all commands have a man page
[17:18] <Guest41817> ahhhh
[17:18] <Guest41817> so chmod makes it runable!
[17:18] <Guest41817> doesnt run it in terminal
[17:18] <Guest41817> brilliant!
[17:18] <llutz> luxius: you can't "man cd" since its a shell-builtin
[17:18] <luxius> Guest41817, some other helpful tools are grep, more (or less - yes, commands are more/less), cat, tail ...
[17:18] <luxius> llutz, okay, hehe =)
[17:19] <luxius> llutz, I thought 'ls' was, too
[17:19] <o2simo20> different commands, man ls and man less
[17:19] <Guest41817> are there any good tutorial sites to learn linux and things like this?
[17:19] <o2simo20> different functions
[17:19] <TorbenBeta> Guest41817, of course there are.
[17:19] <Guest41817> no any good ones?
[17:20] <gsr> Hi all.  I have a broken key, the "delete / dot".  Its also, luckily, one of the few keyboard keys I never use - so I just want to turn it off.  its keycode is 91, and "xmodmap -e 'keycode 91 = NoSymbol'" works.  I put that line in ~/.bash_profile, but when i login the button is still enabled.  Is there somewhere else I should be putting the command?
[17:20] <luxius> Guest41817, in fact there are so many we don't know where to start ...
[17:20] <physically_fit> anyone can tell me a good flash replacement/alternative that works in Chromium. gnash and lightspark don't work in Chromium. html5 crashes too.
[17:20] <MonkeyDust> Guest41817  the best way to learn is by using it, like we all did
[17:20] <Juv1228> Guest41817, i found the easiest way to learn this stuff is to just google specific things that you are trying to accomplish
[17:20] <luxius> Guest41817, best way to "learning by doing" is having case scenarios. You want to hook up eth0 to the internet? Fix it, you learn how iptables work.
[17:20] <TorbenBeta> Guest41817, do you search for Linux in general or Bash?
[17:20] <Guest41817> ah right well i guess ill start by that thats how i got it installed and so forth
[17:21] <Guest41817> linux is general
[17:21] <Guest41817> or ubuntu
[17:21] <luxius> linux
[17:21] <Juv1228> anyway, has anyone else had gnome 'crash' its theme?
[17:21] <gvo> gsr try putting it in .bash_rc
[17:21] <Guest41817> but i mean if there are so nice basic tutorial sites it wouldnt hurt
[17:21] <Guest41817> as its how i learnt most of my web design i no there are some great ones out there
[17:21] <physically_fit> i think i'll have to say bye-bye to Chromium then.
[17:21] <luxius> there are different distributions with slight differences in fs (file system) and package handling, but linux is linux, Guest41817 (that statement is SO wrong, but not for a newbie)
[17:22] <Guest41817> shame about dreamweaver and photoshop not working greatly on linux though
[17:22] <Juv1228> it randomly goes from http://i.juvsoft.com/desktop.png to http://i.juvsoft.com/gnome-crash.png
[17:22] <comgen> guest41817 : give this a read : http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Oneiric
[17:22] <gsr> gvo: i think that would work, but wouldn't it execute it every time a new shell is opened?
[17:22] <gvo> Yes, but so what?
[17:22] <Guest41817> definately need to learn alot so i can start hosting the websites i make
[17:23] <luxius> Guest41817, most professional artists with computer literacy choose the Gnome paint program, anyway :P
[17:23] <Guest41817> bit of extra money never hurt
[17:23] <luxius> can't remember the name of it
[17:23] <Juv1228> the screen just flashes blank for a few seconds and then it comes back as that, but my session is unharmed.  the only way i have found to fix it so far is by restarting
[17:23] <ssta> gimp
[17:23] <gsr> gvo: I guess it doesn't matter.  just that it defeats the purpose of having .bashrc and .bash_profile
[17:23] <DanGeorge> one question i do have is
[17:23] <DanGeorge> why would amd make the .run file not executable?
[17:24] <gvo> gsr Not really.  xmodmap affects the running shell.  Putting in a login script doesn't have any effect.
[17:24] <DanGeorge> why would they make it so i had to do the chmod function?
[17:24] <luxius> DanGeorge, you don't copy the chmod flags
[17:24] <luxius> DanGeorge, it's about system protection and system management control ;)
[17:24] <gsr> gvo: ahh i see,  thanks
[17:24] <DanGeorge> right..
[17:24] <DanGeorge> i see
[17:24] <gridbag> I'm in the workspace switcher, but there are no options!
[17:24] <ssta> DanGeorge: how would they make it executable?  It's your system, not theirs.  They on't get to decide what is and isn't executable
[17:24] <DanGeorge> ahh ive got so much too read
[17:25] <DanGeorge> i see..
[17:25] <luxius> DanGeorge, any executable you download you will have to chmod +x first
[17:25] <DanGeorge> damn so much to learn
[17:25] <DanGeorge> well thanks for all the help guys! if you ever need some help yourselves dont hestitate to ask
[17:25] <DanGeorge> haha
[17:25] <DanGeorge> not sure how i could help but alas
[17:25] <DanGeorge> time for me to go make some dinner i think
[17:25] <Nik05> i have a question ;)
[17:25] <Axz> good day people any idea why is gnomebaker not working on 12.04?
[17:26] <Axz> anyone else having same issues?!
[17:26] <dreinull> I'm in virtualbox and I upgraded from 10.04 to 11.10 via 04. Now gdm or whatever there is doesn't start. All I get is my console. Is there a way to fix this?
[17:26] <Nik05> But is there someone that know the problem that passwd hangs for 2 minutes after changeing password?
[17:26] <gvo> Axz: 12.04 discussion is in #ubuntu+1 channel
[17:27] <comgen> Axz : I switched to brasero  awhile back haven't had any probs
[17:27] <Axz> brasero somehow takes ages to burn checking allot...
[17:28] <comgen> Axz : you can disable a few plugins which will speed up things <<-- up to the user tho
[17:28] <emiliogm> hi

[17:37] <gvo> Rahul: how did you get to this stage?
[17:37] <Rahul> how to install that gvo ?
[17:37] <ardian> auronandace, I have 2 Graphic Cards I also have the Intel one
[17:37] <Rahul> i have removed a lock file
[17:37] <ardian> can I stop nvidia somehow ? and only use the Intel one
[17:38] <Rahul> i have removed a lock file gvo
[17:38] <comgen> tbrown : if you downloaded a .deb then: sudo dpkg -i name-of-package-here  , apt-cache search something-to-look-for-here  , sudp apt-get install packagename-here anotherone-here and-so-on
[17:38] <auronandace> ardian: if there is an option to do that in the bios then you can yes
[17:38] <gvo> Rahul: OK it was working before that?
[17:38] <Rahul> gvo : yes
[17:38] <fidel> ardian: checked bumblebee?
[17:38] <tbrown> auronandace that what I ran to get the updates what is the command to run to get the package I download when I ran  dpgk ().deb it does not install all the way
[17:38] <gvo> Rahul: reboot?
[17:38] <ardian> fidel, I only installed it not sure if It worked but it stopped the noise a bit

[17:46] <auronandace> Rahul: no worries :)
[17:47] <ezoe> wonder why LC_COLLATE=C is not the default.
[17:47] <Rahul> auronandace : one question ?
[17:47] <auronandace> Rahul: yes
[17:47] <ezoe> anything other than that is unordered except ASCII glyphs.
[17:48] <alteredud> trancentral, eternity sheep
[17:48] <Rahul> auronandace, do you all work for free?
[17:48] <auronandace> Rahul: everyone here is an unpaid volunteer
[17:48] <gvo> Rahul: we work for each other.
[17:49] <Rahul> auronandace , gvo : Cool !
[17:50] <Rahul> auronandace, gvo : this is your full work ?
[17:50] <auronandace> Rahul: no, just spare time, you can help others too if you like
[17:50] <gbrt> Hi guys, I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 under a MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo 2.something...
[17:51] <gvo> Rahul: Ditto
[17:51] <gbrt> And comparing with OSX...
[17:51] <gbrt> It is quite slower...
[17:51] <mouth1> yes gbrt
[17:51] <gbrt> I mean, havier...
[17:51] <mouth1> if you have a mac i advise you to use mac os x, sounds strange i know :P
[17:51] <Rahul> auronandace, gvo : cool , but i don't have knowledge of ubuntu :P
[17:51] <gbrt> Not saying it's better or worst...
[17:51] <gvo> Rahul: You will
[17:51] <tbrown> is there a way that I can do remote access on ubuntu
[17:51] <gbrt> Naa, it doesnt...
[17:52] <gbrt> I truly understand...
[17:52] <gvo> tbrown: vnc
[17:52] <gbrt> But it is something like an experiment.
[17:52] <Rahul> tbrown, use teamviewer :)
[17:52] <gbrt> I was just a little bit worried...
[17:52] <fnordism> is it possible to use openbox instead of gnome?
[17:52] <auronandace> Rahul: you'll quickly pick it up, i find i learn a lot more when helping others you'd be suprised how much you do know
[17:52] <mouth1> you can use virtualbox on os x to run ubuntu in a virtual machine alongside os x
[17:52] <tbrown> gvo: Is that already on there or do i install it in the software center
[17:53] <auronandace> fnordism: indeed
[17:53] <gvo> tbrown: various flavors of vnc are in the repo.  I dont' think they are installed by default.
[17:53] <gbrt> Well, so this behavior is actually quite normal right?
[17:53] <Rahul> auronandace ,gvo:Nice , and its exciting
[17:53] <fnordism> fascinating
[17:53] <gbrt> Is there any other Ubuntu spin that may be "lighter" to use here?
[17:54] <auronandace> !lubuntu | gbrt
[17:54] <mouth1> gbrt: os x is made to run on your hardware, ubuntu is designed to run on any hardware
[17:54] <gbrt> Yeah, I know...
[17:54] <nothing-new> 12.04 will have gnome-shell and unity both?
[17:54] <ddv> someone know why --start-maximized is not working for Chromium?
[17:54] <mouth1> only unity i think
[17:54] <gvo> gbrt: how are you measuring slow?
[17:55] <tbrown> Am just going to use VNC on my computer
[17:55] <gbrt> gvo, actually by "feeling"...
[17:55] <auronandace> nothing-new: both are available, unity by default, 12.04 questions in #ubuntu+1 until release
[17:55] <gbrt> Please don't laught.
[17:55] <tom73> ciao
[17:55] <gbrt> :)
[17:55] <Rahul> gvo, auronandace : lets be in touch :)
[17:55] <tom73> !list
[17:55] <tbrown> Not VNC wow cant type RDV
[17:56] <gvo> gbrt: It's probably your graphics software that's slow.
[17:56] <gbrt> gvo, agreed. Probably yes.
[17:57] <andi3> hi all, lb config -p ubuntu_desktop --mode ubuntu --distribution oneiric -m http://localhost:9977/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu --volatile false && sudo lb build, fails with tar: /root/tmp: Cannot open: No such file or directory. Have you tried to build Ubuntu with live-build ?
[17:57] <gvo> gbrt: That;s not Ubuntu's fault.
[17:57] <ddv> someone know why --start-maximized is not working for Chromium?
[17:57] <tom73> extreme
[17:58] <gbrt> I'm planning to stop using it alongside with OSX... I intend to get another machine...
[17:58] <gbrt> What do you guys think about that Vostro one...
[17:58] <angel282> Hello, I need some help, I am trying to compile some open source and some library is missing "QtScript/qscriptengine.h: No such file or directory" any idea?
[17:58] <tom73> !list
[17:58] <gbrt> The 13"...
[17:58] <gbrt> From Dell.
[17:58] <gbrt> Should work well with Ubuntu, right?
[17:59] <gbrt> Well, gotta go...
[17:59] <auronandace> angel282: have you checked to see if what you are trying to compile is already in the repo?
[17:59] <gbrt> Thanks guys, thanks gvo.
[18:00] <gvo> Bye
[18:00] <andi3> does live-build (lb) suppose to work on Ubuntu?
[18:00] <angel282> yeap..
[18:01] <angel282> auronandace:yeap..
[18:01] <gvo> angel282: you probably need a -dev package.
[18:01] <auronandace> angel282: what are you trying to compile?
[18:01] <angel282> auronandace: some open source youtube downloader tool
[18:02] <angel282> gvo: which one?
[18:02] <auronandace> !info youtube-dl | angel282
[18:04] <angel282> auronandace: I know "youtubedl" tool, but I need this specific open source.. http://www.4kdownload.com/
[18:05] <auronandace> angel282: their download section has .debs available for ubuntu, whay are you compiling?
[18:06] <gvo> angel282: use apt-file to search for files in the repo.
[18:07] <angel282> auronandace: so I can change the software name to something else (its GPL)
[18:08] <auronandace> angel282: that makes no sense to me, have fun
[18:08] <gvo> auronandace: Probably wants to change the name and sell it as his own work.  ;)  (just kidding)
[18:09] <auronandace> gvo: i know you are kidding but i think you are right
[18:09] <nemo> Say, am I the only one who sees really unattractive hinting on the Unity top panel?
[18:09] <nemo> is almost like the hinting is doubled
[18:09] <nemo> like, big green pixels
[18:09] <nemo> or other colours
[18:10] <gvo> I refuse to use Unity.
[18:11] <stopostit21> how to join epikNet?
[18:12] <rolloTomasi> how can i search the comment section of "/list -y" to find channels with specific key words... ie. which channels have the keyword "social" in them
[18:12] <bastidrazor> !alis | rolloTomasi
[18:12] <nemo> gvo: ehm. my sentiments mostly. I was experimenting with it to see if it had gotten usable enough for my mom, who is still stuck on 11.04 and had already freaked out after *that* upgrade before I showed her how to switch to classic
[18:13] <gvo> lol  mom's can freak easily.
[18:13] <stopostit21> irc.epiknet.org
[18:13] <rolloTomasi>  ubottu:  gr8 thxs!
[18:14] <auronandace> stopostit21: /connect irc.epiknet.org
[18:14] <stopostit21> thank you!
[18:14] <nemo> kinda weird though. p'raps some bug in the intel driver on this laptop. seems hard for me to believe no one else has noticed it
[18:15]  * nemo tries completely disabling hinting
[18:15] <auronandace> nemo: do you have a screenshot?
[18:16] <nemo> auronandace: it wasn't the hinting, was the antialiasing
[18:16] <nemo> auronandace: wrong terminology I guess
[18:16] <nemo> anyway, gnome-tweak-tool changing antialiasing from RGBA to greyscale "fixed" it
[18:16] <nemo> or at least made it less horrible
[18:17] <ssta> hopefully they've made it easier to remove unity
[18:17] <auronandace> !yay | nemo
[18:17] <nemo> it does look like what happens in a web browser if subpixel AA is enabled, and you stack text on each other to get heavy text
[18:17] <nemo> I wonder if someone did that
[18:17] <nemo> you get a rainbow appearance around the text
[18:17]  * nemo shrugs
[18:17] <auronandace> ssta: why remove it when you can start out with it not installed in the first place?
[18:18] <ssta> auronandace: point
[18:21] <bynw> auronandace: how do you not install unity in the first place?
[18:21] <physically_fit> how do i determine the Chromium version I am running?
[18:21] <auronandace> bynw: by using a different derivative: kubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu
[18:22] <physically_fit> i click on Help and nothing appears
[18:22] <auronandace> bynw: or start with the mini iso
[18:22] <gvo> physically_fit: go to the "wrench" icon and click on about.
[18:22] <tbrown> what is the command for root in the terinmal
[18:22] <gvo> sudo?
[18:22] <physically_fit> gvo, oh thanks i never use that icon. thanks again.
[18:22] <auronandace> tbrown: to open a root terminal: sudo -i
[18:23] <auronandace> tbrown: but be very careful
[18:23] <auronandace> tbrown: it usually is best to just use sudo when needed
[18:23] <tbrown> thank you :auronandance

[18:27] <auronandace> njab: no advertising please
[18:27] <angel282> auronandace: anyway thanks for your help (I found the missing package, it was "libqt4-dev"
[18:27] <auronandace> angel282: awesome
[18:28] <auronandace> angel282: i think it was gvo who said to use a dev package :)
[18:28] <mouth1> can you measure the temps in ubuntu?
[18:28] <angel282> gvo: sorry.. :) thanks for your help
[18:28] <mouth1> like CPU
[18:28] <n-iCe> Hello I am in a big problem, I run linux in a live cd, but I want to get all my windows to linux in order to format windows and install linux in my hdd, the problem is that I moved something with gparted and the whole partitions of windows says unallocated space and I can't see the files, what can I do, thanks!
[18:28] <gvo> angel282: NP
[18:29] <mouth1> n-iCe: did you apply any formatting?
[18:29] <auronandace> !info lm-sensors | mouth1
[18:29] <n-iCe> mouth1: no formatting
[18:30] <mouth1> n-iCe: then you can just restart the computer and boot windows
[18:30] <mouth1> from there you can copy the files to an external hdd
[18:30] <mouth1> and then install and delete your hdd
[18:30] <mouth1> install ubuntu
[18:31] <gvo> auronandace: Last time I looked, the sensors had to be configured for your specific hardware.  Has that changed?
[18:31] <n-iCe> mouth1: I applied changes, but just not formatting, that's why now sasys unallocated files
[18:31] <auronandace> gvo: i must admit i've not given it a serious try so i can't remember
[18:32] <mouth1> n-iCe: why were you in the disk formatting anyway?
[18:32] <gvo> auronandace: Apparently they use a number of different devices and they software can't always determine what's installed.
[18:32] <mouth1> yo didn't want to delete your windows hdd did you?
[18:32] <finish06> can someone explain to me any reason why a normal person would want to build their own cloud?
[18:32] <n-iCe> mouth1: To create a partition to save the files
[18:32] <mouth1> hmm never done that before
[18:32] <mouth1> don't you have an external hdd?
[18:32] <sveinse> Does anyone know if there are any compability issues between LibreOffice and OpenOffice?
[18:33] <Fyodorovna> sveinse, yes they share files
[18:33] <mouth1> sveinse: isn't it the same source?
[18:33] <oCean> finish06: offtopic discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[18:33] <finish06> oCean, thanks.
[18:33] <tbrown> Has anyone run windows 7 in ubuntu
[18:33] <sveinse> I have a spreadsheet which shows "#VALUE!" in certain fields when opened in LibreOffice, while works perfectly in (Win) OO...
[18:33] <acicula> tbrown: you mean inside a virtual machine?
[18:33] <tbrown> acicula: Yes
[18:34] <acicula> tbrown: i have yes, should work just fine with virtualbox or whatever vm system you use
[18:34] <GirlyGirl> tbrown: W7 isn't the best performance wise under virtualisation. If XP suits your needs use that instead
[18:35] <Fyodorovna> sveinse, abiword should work
[18:35] <delinquentme> is WINE the best option for running itunes on ubuntu?
[18:35] <tbrown> GirlyGirl: Thank you
[18:35] <auronandace> delinquentme: or a vm
[18:35] <delinquentme> check auronandace
[18:37] <tbrown> GirlyGirl: I dont know if you got my message but how long have you been into computers
[18:37] <sveinse> Fyodorovna: Well, I'm not looking for an alternative. I'm trying to learn why it fails to use in Ubuntu. Else I need to reboot to win. Who wants that?
[18:38] <gvo> sveinse: did you try OO on Linux?
[18:39] <spoonybard> whats an alternative for firebug in the terminal?
[18:39] <auronandace> sveinse: perhaps look at the changelogs in libreoffice, specifically calc
[18:39] <tbrown> Windows XP Home Edition Or Pro
[18:39] <Fyodorovna> sveinse, use libreoffice in windows it is supposedly being developed with more regularity
[18:40] <gvo> spoonybard: How do you plan on debugging a web app in a terminal session?
[18:40] <gvo> Node.js?
[18:40] <spoonybard> yes
[18:40] <spoonybard> yes nodejs
[18:40] <GirlyGirl> tbrown: They have the same requirements
[18:40] <gvo> Ah!
[18:41] <sm00x> Fyodorovna, true true
[18:42] <gvo> spoonybard: nodejs has debug build in.
[18:42] <spoonybard> its not possible?
[18:42] <gvo> built
[18:42] <tbrown> GirlyGirl: So why does it matter if windows 7 does not have a good performace and if windows xp has the sme requirement oh I see what you mean sorry about that:)
[18:42] <gvo> spoonybard: node debug script.js
[18:43] <gvo> spoonybard: Apparently it works like gdb, but I've never used it.
[18:44] <gvo> spoonybard: Also there's something called node-inspector.
[18:44] <wiiguy> hello is it possible to replace ubuntu-desktop gui with xubuntu-desktop gui ?
[18:44] <spoonybard> gvo, i debug scrips with node-inspector
[18:44] <gvo> OK then what was the question? spoonybard
[18:45] <spoonybard> gvo, what i really wanted was something similar to firebug's net tab in the terminal
[18:45] <Musaab> http://askubuntu.com/questions/122312/asus-x101h-touchpad-not-recognized-want-to-disable-while-typing
[18:46] <wiiguy> hello is it possible to replace ubuntu-desktop gui with xubuntu-desktop gui ?
[18:46] <gvo> spoonybard: OK no idea, then.
[18:46] <spoonybard> ok
[18:47] <gvo> wiiguy: You might try installing xubuntu-meta
[18:49] <wiiguy> ok i will try that :)
[18:49] <wiiguy> thanks :0
[18:49] <auronandace> !purexfce | wiiguy
[18:49] <nemo> auronandace: found the real fix
[18:49] <nemo> auronandace: and like most things since gnome2 was killed off, it is annoyingly convoluted :)
[18:50] <nemo> auronandace: if you want subpixel AA it isn't just a dropdown in display settings
[18:50] <auronandace> nemo: awesome, do tell
[18:50] <wiiguy> auronandace im running 12.04 :p
[18:50] <gvo> wiiguy: After installation if you don't follow auronandace's suggestion, you'll have to select it at login.
[18:50] <nemo> auronandace: you have to fire up dconf-editor and go and set the pixel order there if you aren't lucky enough to already be on rgb
[18:50] <wiiguy> so dont thik that will work :)
[18:50] <auronandace> !12.04 | wiiguy
[18:50] <nemo> auronandace: once I did that (and I wasn't sure of pixel order, I just kept changing them until it stopped looking muddy)
[18:50] <nemo> all better
[18:50] <nemo> yay!
[18:50] <Ommpansthe> I need drivers for a wireless usb from levelone (WUA-0614), but I don't find them anywhere! I don't know if I need drivers of it is a problem of my computer. Note: sadly it works fine on windows xp :-(
[18:51] <wiiguy> ah ok:)
[18:51] <wiiguy> guess wrong channel :p
[18:51] <tbrown> I can see why that windows 7 is really slow on the loading the installion on the virutal machine it just so slow haaa
[18:51] <auronandace> nemo: wow, convoluted was the right word
[18:51] <nemo> auronandace:  /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/xsettings/rgba-order dropdown FWIW
[18:51] <nemo> but. fonts look nice and smooth again. woot
[18:52] <auronandace> nemo: well done
[18:52] <gvo> Ommpansthe: You may have to use ndiswrapper to install the windows drivers.
[18:53] <bram__> hey, what was the virtual machine program you used?
[18:53] <nemo> auronandace: but. yeah. annoying. that used to be a nice friendly menu in config settings :(
[18:53] <gvo> Ommpansthe: if all else fails there's a payware driver loader I've used in the past, Linuxant.
[18:53] <tbrown> bram__ Are you talking to me if so put my name in the first line so we know who you are talking to
[18:54] <auronandace> nemo: i'll be trying out unity when 12.04 releases, i bet there will be problems
[18:54] <Ommpansthe> gvo, Ill try. How to install it from a Internet-conected Ubuntu 11.10 x64 to a Offline Ubuntu 11.10 x32?
[18:54] <gvo> Ommpansthe: sneakernet is one option.
[18:54] <bram__> tbrown: sorry, yes i asked to you
[18:55] <gvo> Ommpansthe: No wired ethernet connection?
[18:55] <Ommpansthe> gvo, just in this computer.
[18:55] <tbrown> bram__: Yes Am running virtualbox but am thinking about running Vmware Player but I cant download it from the site it not letting me its saying that I deed not activated the account or something send me a a email and I deed it but it gave me an error so am going to try again:)
[18:56] <gvo> Ommpansthe: Is it a netbook?  Dump .deb files to a thumb drive.
[18:56] <sm00x> Ommpansthe, whats wrong with using Unetbootin ?
[18:56] <Ommpansthe> gvo, both are table-computers (not laptops, I don't know how you call them). I'll try to use a pendrive and a .deb
[18:57] <raven> do you know any live-vision-mixer with multi-camera support?
[18:57] <finish06> I have the asus p5q mobo, and need to use the two silicon image SIL 5723 sata ports... on a windows machine, I would d/l the driver that is on asus website, but this driver is not available for linux.. what can i do?
[18:57] <bram__> tbrown: for activating the account you need to verify the message in the email you registered
[18:58] <gvo> sm00x: I think he has the OS installed, but the wireless port doesn't work.
[18:58] <sm00x> finish06, really? lsmod and lspci
[18:58] <tbrown> bram__: Yes it send me a email but it just deed not work for me I deed not know what was wrong with the link or something:)P
[18:58] <bram__> tbrown: but i got the vmware player setup, you think i can pass it by email?
[18:58] <finish06> sm00x, .... really what?  what are lsmod & lspci?
[18:58] <finish06> http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/7088/asusp5qspecs.png
[18:58] <sm00x> gvo, peaople should think and say more clearly
[18:58] <tbrown> Ya try it tbrown2012fb@gmail.com
[18:58] <sm00x> finish06 commands in linux
[18:58] <Ommpansthe> gvo, the hardware is a wireless usb adapter. Are you sure that ndiswrapper can help?
[18:59] <Ommpansthe> sm00x, I don't understand what is the relation about unetbootin and my problem
[18:59] <sm00x> Ommpansthe, can you say in normal english what you want to do?
[18:59] <bram__> tbrown: ok, i'll try it so
[19:00] <Ommpansthe> sm00x, I want to use a usb-wireless-adapter. The full name is: LevelOne WUA-0614. It works in Windows XP with drivers. I don't know how to make it run on Ubuntu
[19:00] <gvo> Ommpansthe: Does the OS see it?  dmesg lists it?
[19:00] <Ommpansthe> gvo, yes! it does! But I enter the correct password (WEP) and it doesn't work, it ask me again and again the password.
[19:01] <parto_> Hey guys, I have a Hp 530 laptop. When running on battery, it sometimes gets to around 60% of battery power and  just shuts down. No warning, nothing. Other times, it goes up to 25% and shows me the warning of battery low. Running ubuntu 11.04. What could be the issue?
[19:01] <gvo> Ommpansthe: That's a different problem. I think.
[19:01] <fmms> anybody else seeing https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/982518 on precise?
[19:02] <Ommpansthe> gvo, I apologize to had misundrstood you then.
[19:02] <tbrown> bram__: Deed you send the email or something I need the linux one .deb
[19:02] <auronandace> !12.04 | fmms
[19:02] <sm00x> Ommpansthe, plug in the USB adapter and use lsusb and lsmod
[19:03] <Ommpansthe> sm00x, in console, right?
[19:03] <fmms> thanks auronandace
[19:03] <finish06> I have my CD drive plugged into a silicon image SIL5723 SATA controller in ubuntu.... the OS does not see my CD drive... so I cannot burn anything...  why is it not seeing it?  It sees the 6 other SATA drives that are plugged into intel ICH10R southbridge ports
[19:03] <gvo> Ommpansthe: Do an ifconfig -a
[19:03] <julioneto> Hi all
[19:04] <Ommpansthe> ok, I'll do that in the other PC. I will copy the results in a pendrive.
[19:04] <sm00x> first lsusb, then lsmod, and only then ifconfig!
[19:04] <silner> Ommpansthe: Have you seen this suggestion http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1300753 ?

[19:04] <sm00x> finish06, lspci says what?
[19:04] <tbrown> I got the download thanks anyways
[19:05] <julioneto> Ubiquity just freezes when I set my personal informations
[19:05] <Ommpansthe> silner, yes, but I don't know how to install it :shy:

[19:06] <finish06> sm00x, http://pastebin.com/ZdBfvFAq
[19:07] <gvo> Ommpansthe: Temporarily turn off wep and see if it connects.
[19:07] <sm00x> finish06 and rthat PCI controller is really working in Windows?
[19:07] <finish06> it worked with i had a hackintosh
[19:07] <sm00x> it doesn't show at all in the lspci, so solve that
[19:07] <raven> do you know any live-vision-mixer with multi-camera support?
[19:08] <bram__> tbrown: no, but i will soon send you the setup, zipped in some parts
[19:08] <sm00x> maybe it is not in the slot ?
[19:08] <gvo> sm00x: if he's getting a request for wep login, he's got some kind of network connection.
[19:08] <finish06> sm00x, plugged in, I powered off a little earlier today and pulled it out of the port and then plugged it back in
[19:08] <tbrown> bram__ Ya I got it already thanks anyways
[19:08] <rfictus> how to check if I have 32 or 64 bit ubuntu installed?
[19:08] <sm00x> gvo, he need to use WPA2-AES
[19:08] <sm00x> all other wireless security is for dumfucks
[19:09] <auronandace> rfictus: uname -a
[19:09] <bram__> tbrown: you already got the setup?
[19:09] <auronandace> !language | sm00x
[19:09] <sm00x> proffesional?
[19:09] <sm00x> :D
[19:09] <sm00x> who is professional here? :D
[19:09] <LjL> sm00x: just don't swear.
[19:10] <tbrown> bram_: Am just going to do it on my windows clinet machine:)
[19:10] <sm00x> useless morons is all I see, giving end-users wrong solutions
[19:10] <sm00x> :D
[19:10] <auronandace> LjL: thanks, he was trolling in #reactos too
[19:10] <dwatkins> how professional...
[19:12] <bram__> tbrown: nice, so you'll try later vmware player
[19:12] <finish06> well all conversation died with that.
[19:12] <silner> This is for a different driver Ommpansthe http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download#Download_latest_Linux_wireless_drivers but I imagine the process is similar. I've never had to do it (all mine cards worked out of the box)
[19:12] <loculinux> jalack
[19:12] <loculinux> eee
[19:13] <Ommpansthe> gvo, It works if I turn wep off! But I want some security, I don't want other people to access to my internet
[19:13] <Ommpansthe> silner, I'll check
[19:13] <loculinux> spanish please
[19:13] <LjL> Ommpansthe: on one thing sm00x was right anyway, WEP is *very little* security. you should switch your network to WPA(2)
[19:13] <LjL> !es | loculinux
[19:13] <gvo> Ommpansthe: OK well we've determined that the driver is working for communications/
[19:14] <loculinux> eee
[19:14] <bram__> WPA2 is the best security for wireless sure
[19:14] <gvo> Ommpansthe: so turn it off, log in , then turn it back on.  ;)
[19:14] <Ommpansthe> LjL, yeah, but my router is very old :-(
[19:14] <loculinux> pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttttttttttttttttttttttttoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[19:14] <LjL> Ommpansthe: hm, consider replacing it. really, keep in mind that WEP can be cracked in literally 5 minutes
[19:15] <Ommpansthe> LjL, I'll save money for a open router ;-)
[19:15] <Ommpansthe> gvo, log in... log in = connected?
[19:15] <gvo> Ommpansthe: poor choice of words, sorry.
[19:16] <bram__> i think the wpa1 can work in some old routers
[19:16] <Ommpansthe> gvo, you said: «so turn it off, log in , then turn it back on.» Log in = connect with the router without WEP. Am I right?
[19:16] <Ommpansthe> gvo, hope that know you understand
[19:17] <gvo> Ommpansthe: I don't know if that will work but that's what I meant.
[19:17] <netprofit> quick q, why would i want to use add-apt-repository? meaning why would i want to add a repository outside of /etc/apt/sources.list?
[19:17] <Ommpansthe> gvo, I'll try.
[19:17] <netprofit> (i am linux newb)
[19:17] <silner> It seems like WPS has been cracked too (on some routers) LjL, Ommpansthe so it's probably best to set up keys by hand
[19:18] <Juv1228> netprofit, im pretty sure apt-add-repository adds a new file into /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[19:18] <gvo> netprofit: it doesn't add outside of sources. list it adds something to the file.
[19:18] <Juv1228> it also handled PPA's for you
[19:18] <LjL> netprofit: well, without entering the question of whether a single file (sources.list) is better than a modular system, apt-add-repository also registers the repository's key, and can be used to quickly add PPAs
[19:18] <gvo> netprofit: or to sources.list.d/
[19:19] <Juv1228> http://i.juvsoft.com/desktop.png ---> http://i.juvsoft.com/gnome-crash.png
[19:20] <Juv1228> has anyone ever seen this happen on ubuntu 11.10 with gnome classic?
[19:20] <keito_> hi, just upgraded to 12.04 from 10.10 and my mail settings in evolution aren't recognised, nor are my stored emails.  How can I get Evolution to see them?
[19:20] <Juv1228> it happens randomly while i'm working. screen flickers black for a second and then comes back with the screwed up theme
[19:20] <gvo> !info 12.04 | keito_
[19:21] <gvo> !12.04 | keito_
[19:21] <netprofit> thanks for the replies - so if lets say a version transmission-daemon is release but not listed in ubuntu's official repositories, then "updating the source list" would allow me to apt-get the latest version?
[19:21] <keito_> thanks!
[19:21] <gvo> netprofit: Probably
[19:22] <gvo> netprofit: if you know what repo has the package.
[19:22] <Klabautermann> Hellooo
[19:22] <netprofit> gvo: gotcha
[19:23] <Klabautermann> Somebody bere
[19:23] <Klabautermann> here
[19:23] <Ommpansthe> gvo, it doesn't work. I think that the other computer doesn't understand WEP.
[19:24] <parto_> Klabautermann     Hae
[19:24] <bram__> Klabautermann you need help?
[19:24] <gvo> Ommpansthe: "the other computer"  is the box with the usb wireless card?
[19:24] <Ommpansthe> gvo, yes.
[19:24] <netprofit> thanks for the help guys
[19:24] <xblind135> hello, I am attempting to install some software I need for a class I am taking, and would very much appreciate any help i can get.
[19:25] <xblind135> I need libxul.so
[19:25] <gvo> Ommpansthe: So if you leave wep off you can connect OK still?
[19:25] <xblind135> from what I can find I need libmotif3
[19:25] <Ommpansthe> gvo, yes. No WEP = Connection
[19:25] <bram__> you can't connect with wep on?
[19:25] <kypor> hello all .. is there a way to change pinned icons in Unity Launcher? Especially WINE apps?
[19:25] <bekks> xblind135: Hopefully no one ever needs motif anymore :)
[19:26] <bekks> xblind135: Did you search packages.ubuntu.com to see whoch packages provides libxul.so for your ubuntu version?
[19:27] <gvo> Ommpansthe: Try looking in one of the log files for error messages.
[19:27] <xblind135> yes, firefox should, but it seems to be broken
[19:27] <gmachine_24> Greetings earthlings. I use the command line to update my systems .. can someone tell me why using 'aptitude' vs 'apt-get' will install more pkgs? apt-get often returns msg that says certain pkgs are being held back
[19:28] <Klabautermann> yessssssssssssssss sure i need help
[19:28] <Klabautermann> this is the reason why i am here
[19:28] <gmachine_24> Klabautermann, please ask your question or state your business
[19:28] <kypor> hello all .. is there a way to change pinned icons in Unity Launcher? Especially WINE apps?
[19:28] <Klabautermann> okay should i ask here my question or in query gmachine_24???
[19:29] <gmachine_24> Klabautermann, just ask
[19:29] <xblind135> XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/firefox-11.0/libxpcom.so: libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Couldn't load XPCOM. That is the error i am getting
[19:29] <Ommpansthe> gvo, can you specify the log file that I must look?
[19:29] <gvo> Ommpansthe: try syslog messages and/or auth.
[19:29] <gvo> I'm not sure which.
[19:29] <gvo> If any.
[19:30] <Klabautermann> Okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[19:30] <Klabautermann> I have Ubuntu.
[19:30] <Klabautermann> No  I must correct me
[19:30] <Klabautermann> I want to have Ubuntu.
[19:30] <gvo> Ommpansthe: Have you tried the complete 48 character hex key?
[19:31] <Klabautermann> Buuut the question is. Where can I get Ubuntu if not steal it???
[19:31] <kypor> hello all .. is there a way to change pinned icons in Unity Launcher? Especially WINE apps? Instead of the default wine icon
[19:32] <Klabautermann> Nooo stop kypior
[19:32] <Klabautermann> i asked first!!!
[19:32] <faryshta> Hi. How do I use the "diff"  command to create a patch from local files?
[19:32] <gmachine_24> Klabautermann, really? http://www.ubuntu.com/download
[19:32] <gvo> Klabautermann: Be nice.  You dont' have to steal it.
[19:32] <Klabautermann> good
[19:33] <Klabautermann> But how do i get it from internet to my pc
[19:33] <gmachine_24> Klabautermann, read the instructions
[19:33] <bekks> Klabautermann: This is a chat _room_ aloowing several people to ask in parallel.
[19:33] <xblind135> How can I start a 32-shell on a 64bit install?
[19:34] <Klabautermann> bekks but if all ask each other nobody can understand
[19:34] <zykotick9> xblind135: what do you really want to do?
[19:34] <bekks> Klabautermann: We can. Be sure of that.
[19:34] <Klabautermann> bekks am i allowed to write with CAPS ON so taht people se me?
[19:34] <ssta> troll...
[19:34] <bekks> Klabautermann: We can see you without caps, so "No".
[19:34] <Klabautermann> okay bekks
[19:34] <Shin_>  /XDCC HELP
[19:34] <xblind135> I want to get my installation of the Xilinx ISE to work properly, it is only half working right now
[19:34] <gmachine_24> Klabautermann, stop. This isn't AOL. Go the the page I gave you; read the instructions. Come back if you have questions.
[19:35] <Klabautermann> yes i have bought usb drive and empty cd
[19:35] <Klabautermann> how do i get it upon it
[19:35] <gmachine_24> Klabautermann, I am done with you.
[19:35] <gvo> Klabautermann: Read the instructions.
[19:35] <zykotick9> xblind135: no idea what you are doing.  but "linux32 bash" should start an emulated 32bit shell.
[19:35] <Klabautermann> well all are talking about construction construction construction??? which construction???
[19:35] <gmachine_24> or, as we used to say. rtfm
[19:36] <gvo> Klabautermann, really? http://www.ubuntu.com/download  go to this page and read.
[19:36] <gmachine_24> thief
[19:36] <Klabautermann> ok but this is so much...okay then i will report it to you if come back
[19:36] <xblind135> zykotick9: It is software used to do FPGA dev, it is for a class i am taking
[19:36] <Ommpansthe> gvo, I am shocked. I didn't understand the syslog file, so I deleted it. Later I tried to reconnect again. It asked me the password, I wrote it again. It connected. I don't know how I fixed it :-|
[19:37] <Klabautermann> But if I have questions i can come back yesss???
[19:37] <gvo> Ommpansthe: Good for you
[19:37] <Areckx> hihi
[19:37] <zykotick9> xblind135: well, good luck.
[19:37] <gvo> Klabautermann: Sure
[19:37] <Klabautermann> okiii
[19:37] <ceti331> anyone know there way around stl
[19:37] <gvo> Ommpansthe: Don't delete the syslog file....
[19:37] <gmachine_24> Anyone tell me why aptitude update will install pkgs held back using apt-get update?/upgrade?
[19:37] <Ommpansthe> gvo, thanks for your time. Maybe the things that you tell me to write on console fixed it.
[19:37] <ceti331> beyond just using it,
[19:38] <gvo> Ommpansthe: are you sure you turned wep back on?  ;)
[19:38] <zykotick9> gmachine_24: aptitude != apt-get
[19:38] <Ommpansthe> gvo, it would reapear again. I am used to deleted it each 2 weeks due to the big size (sudo rm -r /var/log)
[19:38] <MonkeyDust> gmachine_24  that's a difference between aptitude and apt-get
[19:38] <Ommpansthe> gvo, I'll check XD
[19:38] <ceti331> i'm curious to know if there is a standard version of std::vector where capacity always = size, i.e. no information is stored relevant to dynamic resizing
[19:38] <xblind135> zykotick9: thanks, the problems i have seen people have had are all related to running this 32bit app on 64-bit machines
[19:39] <MonkeyDust> gmachine_24  another difference has something to do with kworker
[19:39] <ssta> ceti331: maybe ask in #c++ ?
[19:39] <ceti331> ok
[19:39] <zykotick9> xblind135: you'd typically use "linux32 REALAPHERE" instead of bash
[19:39] <gvo> Ommpansthe: all the fils in /var/log take care of themselves.  Don't need to delete anything.
[19:39] <gmachine_24> MonkeyDust, thank you. Is it something I need to be concerned about? I have been using aptitude to update/upgrade sometimes because it does more; I'm assuming this is OK.
[19:40] <Ommpansthe> gvo, yes, WEP is activated. Also a lock appears on the wireless logo. So the problem is solved, thanks for your time.
[19:40] <xblind135> zykotick9: REALAPHERE?
[19:40] <gvo> Ommpansthe: great.
[19:40] <zykotick9> xblind135: sorry, real application here
[19:40] <Ommpansthe> gvo, how often they autodelete themselves?
[19:40] <xblind135> i see
[19:40] <xblind135> let me try it
[19:40] <Ommpansthe> I am going to dinner, I'll read this later ;-)
[19:40] <gvo> Ommpansthe: I think they keep about 8 copies around and then delete the oldest one.
[19:41] <gvo> Ommpansthe: but some files may have different rules.
[19:41] <SqRt7744> Does anyone know of a way to import .vcf files into ubuntu-one, or at least thunderbird?
[19:42] <Areckx> ok
[19:42] <gvo> Ommpansthe: there's a program/script named logrotate that has a conf file at /etc/logrotate.conf, if you are interested.
[19:42] <Areckx> so I managed to boot into 12.04 so no more grub rescue
[19:43] <Areckx> network manager is missing
[19:43] <gvo> !12.04
[19:43] <zykotick9> Areckx: for 12.04 support please use #ubuntu+1
[19:43] <Areckx> I can't download it on the machine
[19:43] <bittin> the trunk kernel is kinda stable in DebianPPC :o
[19:44] <gvo> :q
[19:44] <gvo> :Oops, sorry
[19:45] <xblind135> I got the floorplanner to run!
[19:45] <xblind135> thank you, now I can at least get started on doing something useful for the class beyond installing software
[19:50] <Ommpansthe> gvo, interesting. That would solve my space problem. Thanks again, dude.
[19:50] <gvo> Ommpansthe: NP
[19:51] <Ommpansthe> gvo, NP?
[19:52] <mouth1> i heard that with the open source ati driver the system might use more electricity and the temperature and fans are higher
[19:52] <mouth1> can this damage my system?
[19:52] <gvo> Ommpansthe: no problem.
[19:52] <n-iCe> hello I can't connect to my wifi, says SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-KILL I already did some commands to unblock that I found in google but nothing, still blocked, any ideas?
[19:52] <mercedes> lubuntu have a store
[19:52] <mercedes> like ubuntu
[19:53] <mercedes> lubuntu have software center
[19:53] <mercedes> or not
[19:53] <compdoc> what do you want to buy?
[19:54] <mercedes> nothing only install games apps etc
[19:54] <mercedes> ...
[19:54] <compdoc> well, most apps are free in both
[19:54] <trism> mercedes: you can install software-center in lubuntu, the repos are the same, but I don't think it will be installed by default
[19:55] <compdoc> theres a lot in the repositories
[19:55] <mercedes> how i can install it
[19:55] <trism> mercedes: sudo apt-get install software-center
[19:55] <compdoc> which desktop does lubuntu use?
[19:55] <mercedes> ok thanks i will try it
[19:56] <trism> compdoc: lxde
[19:57] <mercedes> thank i´m install it now
[19:57] <compdoc> does it support gnome apps?
[19:57] <mercedes> i think yes
[19:57] <guntbert> n-iCe: rfkill usually means "hardware switch off"
[19:58] <trism> compdoc: you can run gnome apps on any desktop, the only issue is how many libraries will be pulled in when you install
[19:58] <n-iCe> guntbert: what shoudl I do
[19:59] <guntbert> n-iCe: is there a hardware switch for the wifi on your notebook?
[19:59] <mercedes> one more question when i install software center it comes whit all the repositories
[19:59] <n-iCe> guntbert: no
[19:59] <guntbert> n-iCe: no fn-key combos to turn it on/off either?
[20:01] <nick_> hi
[20:01] <n-iCe> in dmesg says rtlwifi wireless switch is on
[20:01] <mercedes> when i try to install sofware center termina says that i need to try --fix-missing? or apt-get update
[20:01] <trism> mercedes: whichever repositories you have configured in software-properties-gtk, software-center will use
[20:02] <guntbert> n-iCe: then I don't know, sorry
[20:02] <trism> mercedes: can you pastebin the output?
[20:02] <mercedes> ok
[20:02] <trism> !pastebin | mercedes
[20:03] <gvo> trism: maybe mercedes should apt-get update??
[20:03] <mercedes> i dont understand how i paste images
[20:04] <SaZha> nice name anyway
[20:04] <trism> mercedes: copy and paste the output when you try to install software-center here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and give us the link
[20:05] <trism> gvo: quite possible, hard to say without seeing the output
[20:05] <mercedes> ok i now understand butt how can i get a screenshot
[20:05] <epaphus> Could anybody please give me an example how to have user1 write files with default permissions of 770 ?
[20:06] <blnk> I'm trying to get remote desktop to tunnel through SSH. I was wondering if I'm on the right track. I have the VNC client connecting to 127.0.0.1 on port 5901, then I have SSH on the client local port forwarding port 5901 to 5900 of the server IP. does this sound even remotely correct?
[20:06] <gvo> mercedes: highlight the text with the mouse/left key.  copy then paste into that paste.ubuntu.com window
[20:06] <trism> mercedes: don't need a screenshot, usually just the print screen button, but I don't know if lubuntu sets that up by default (although I see they install scrot, so maybe)
[20:09] <mercedes> i am pasting it now
[20:09] <steveoliver> in 11:10, how can I set Super key to a key combo like 'Control+Esc' or something?
[20:10] <mouth1> i heard that with the open source ati driver the system might use more electricity and the temperature and fans are higher
[20:10] <scientes> steveoliver, super key is binded to alot of thing in ubuntu, so dont do it
[20:10] <mouth1> can this damage my system?
[20:10] <MonkeyDust> steveoliver  system settings, keyboard, shortcuts
[20:11] <mercedes> de tab of chromium freeze i can´t paste it
[20:11] <steveoliver> thanks, MonkeyDust
[20:12] <gvo> mouth1: I understand you can change settings to make it behave but I have no idea how.
[20:12] <steveoliver> I didn't mean Super key, sorry -- I want to trigger "Dash home" with an arbitrary key combo
[20:12] <husk> .
[20:13] <steveoliver> is there a "command" for that?
[20:16] <gvo> trism: I'm afraid we're asking too much of the poor fellow.
[20:19] <OerHeks> steveoliver, yes you can! type 2 x 'windowskey' and dash will open, sesame
[20:20] <jen> is it possible to have IMVU on linux?
[20:20] <Guest75412> and if it is can someone tell me how to put it on there?
[20:20] <david> I'm using xubuntu 11.10, and i was wondering about ssh, in ubuntu there is a gui ssh program available i was wondeirng how to get that on xubuntu?
[20:21] <bekks> david: Erm, ssh provides remote terminal access - so your gnome-terminal or whatever is your "gui".
[20:21] <david> i've used ssh with a filemanager before
[20:21] <david> in ubuntu
[20:22] <david> no terminal
[20:22] <jennnnnn> how can I get IMVU on ubuntu?
[20:23] <bekks> david: Thats SFTP, not SSH.
[20:23] <OerHeks> jen, the beta on wine sounds promising >> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2697
[20:24] <david> my bad, how can i get that on xubuntu, i need a package name please :3
[20:24] <bekks> ssh == secure shell (terminal access), sftp == secure ftp (== things you can do with a filemanager)
[20:26] <wylde> david: openssh-server, it provides ssh shell access and sftp services.
[20:26] <david> is that easy to install?
[20:27] <bekks> david: "sudo apt-get install openssh-server"
[20:27] <wylde> david: it's as easy as saudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[20:27] <david> just makin sure
[20:27] <wylde> sudo*
[20:27] <jennnnnn> so imvu does work well on wine then
[20:27] <david> ty for your help :3
[20:31] <mouth1> gvo: how do you mean, change settings?
[20:32] <azizblackbox> hello! test! iam new here xD ;P
[20:32] <guntbert> azizblackbox: welcome,  Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[20:36] <UkeofJersey> Okay, 2nd time today:  I've got 10.10 with FF 11.0, with about 7 tabs that I always have open.  Ubuntu freaks out:  mouse moves but nothing in GNOME is responsive including any  keyboard shortcut.  I can hear the HD reading/writing like it's attempting to replace the Library of Alexandria.  After waiting for ~10 minutes for any keyboard shortcuts to catch up, I finally give up and hard restart.  Question is:  How do I find out what t
[20:36] <david> hey how can i get the numbers I need to ssh into a computer?
[20:36] <david> like 198.162.0.1
[20:37] <delinquentme> does anyone have a solid reliable library for music transfers to the iPhone 4?
[20:37] <guntbert> !10.10 | UkeofJersey time for an upgrade anyway
[20:37] <Marcellina> Hello.
[20:39] <CQ> david ifconfig -a shows you your IP address
[20:39] <jennnnnn> im having trouble with my virtualbox
[20:39] <UkeofJersey> I despise unity and tried a fresh install of 11.04 on this box (some old Dell with every old HD I could find).  It didn't end well because after I finally got the POS to finally look like 10.10 again it took a massive $#!T and I reinstalled everything 10.10 again...  Somebody have a distro that is already set to classic in every respect?
[20:40] <jennnnnn> http://pastebin.com/VjjGpsfr
[20:40] <jennnnnn> here is what it says
[20:40] <mariocki> UkeofJersey have you tried Mint
[20:40] <skel> does ubuntu update-manager support p2p yet? for updates and upgrades? Or do we still have to resort to third-party approaches like apt-p2p?
[20:41] <guntbert> jennnnnn: please ask in #vbox, they will better know what might be the matter
[20:41] <jennnnnn> they never anser

[20:41] <Guest11969> how do i add open as administrator entry in nautilus context menu?
[20:42] <UkeofJersey> @mariocki couldn't get mint 12 to fully boot.  Gave it one good college try with it taking me to an empty desktop, then I moved to the next distro
[20:42] <thesheff17> what is your question about vbox?
[20:42] <guntbert> jennnnnn: I didn't see you ask in #vbox
[20:42] <jennnnnn> ive been there before and they never answer me, i get more stuff done here
[20:43] <guntbert> jennnnnn: but what you want in this case is not ubuntu support
[20:43] <jennnnnn> well people in here use it im sure
[20:44] <popey> skel: nope
[20:44] <Guest11969> how do i add open as administrator entry in nautilus context menu?
[20:44] <UkeofJersey> @mariocki to clarify:  "empty desktop" is a completely unresponsive pretty green screen
[20:44] <skel> popey: aww ok =/
[20:44] <guntbert> jennnnnn: yes, but still - the topic here is "ubuntu support"
[20:44] <jennnnnn> omfg
[20:45] <UkeofJersey> either way, my original question was to ask how to at least sniff out some clues as to what happened after I had to hard reboot
[20:45] <UkeofJersey> nice, general, UBUNTU question.....*cough*
[20:46] <Guest11969> how do i add open as administrator entry in nautilus context menu?
[20:46] <mariocki> @UkeofJersey, since its an old laptop its probably acpi that's causing the problem - see this http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=92637&f=46
[20:47] <UkeofJersey> ??  Not sure how I gave the impression that it was a laptop OR that I cared to give Mint another shot....
[20:48] <OerHeks> !nounity
[20:48] <UkeofJersey> My general Ubuntu question:  If my computer flips out and forces me to hard reboot, where do I find logs/dumps/etc to find out what the hell happened?

[20:57] <UkeofJersey> wylde:  cool, I see some things that may be an issue, but what exactly is dmesg?
[20:58] <rinzler> Executing grub-install /dev/sdb failed on installation. Any ideas?

[21:00] <Kozla> hynya
[21:00] <dictodudeiphone> jeroth_, try going into settings, display and there should be an option.
[21:00] <renode> anyone know how to view a running process, being outputted to stdin, over ssh?
[21:01] <jeroth_> dictodudeiphone, no I need to change the login screens resolution. It is too high for my monitor.
[21:02] <dictodudeiphone> jeroth_, ok try google and go to ubuntu forums. they should have something on that.
[21:03] <jeroth_> dictodudeiphone, thats why I am here. :)

[21:07] <maverick-sapien> hi guys! Hws everyone?!
[21:07] <f4tticus> Any one have ThinkPad T420 and issues with ubuntu 10.10 coming out of suspended mode ?
[21:07] <f4tticus> Good, and you ?
[21:08] <maverick-sapien> M good too..i m a newbie actually.. This is the ubuntu channel..right??
[21:08] <wylde> !10.10
[21:08] <f4tticus> Cool, thanks Wylde lol
[21:08] <wylde> f4tticus: not what you want to hear I'm sure heh.
[21:08] <dictodudeiphone> ask me anything...
[21:09] <maverick-sapien> Can anyone tell me how can I start my own topic (or channel, whatever it's called)??
[21:09] <f4tticus> ahaha not at all. I cant seem to find a fix and it doesnt help that its EOL
[21:09] <f4tticus> stuck running windows as host and ubuntu in vm :(
[21:10] <f4tticus> Not to sure Maverick, i would asume you need a server to host it on first off.
[21:10] <wylde> f4tticus: maybe an update will help anyway lol.
[21:10] <wylde> maverick-sapien: type /join <channelname>
[21:11] <wylde> maverick-sapien: if the channelname you choose doesn't exist it will be created and you will have ops.
[21:11] <rinzler> Executing grub-install /dev/sdb failed on installation.
[21:11] <f4tticus> where is that hosted though...same machine this chanel would be on ?
[21:11] <maverick-sapien> looks like I need an elaborate tut on how to use IRC.. Actually I joined cos I'm havin a problem with using USB drive in virtual host Scientific Linux 6.0 on VirtualBox running on Win 7 host..
[21:12] <maverick-sapien> USB isn't getting detected  :(
[21:12] <wylde> maverick-sapien: you'll probably have to see the freenode website about registering a permanent channel.
[21:12] <f4tticus> you need to allow it to passthrough to the vm.
[21:12] <maverick-sapien> sorry virtual guest Scientifnc Linux..
[21:12] <wylde> f4tticus: yes, it will be created right here on freenode
[21:12] <maverick-sapien> Did evrything,,,added filter, installed extension pack..
[21:12] <maverick-sapien> nothing works..
[21:13] <f4tticus> havent used virtualbox in a while but its a setting up top, you need to mount the usb so it is detected on the vm not host.
[21:14] <maverick-sapien> same startup message all d time.. -  usb read descriptor 64, error - 71
[21:14] <maverick-sapien> any idea hw to do that f4tticus??
[21:15] <ficarra> I have 2 questions. 1, when did software center become so slow, bloated, and such resource hog? 2, can I use the old software center?
[21:15] <oxidizer> hey anybody help me for this I was trying to install ubuntu on my laptop after booting and select install it show this " [  0.548104] Kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init!
[21:15] <ficarra> I just opened it up, and my computer practically came to a standstill
[21:15] <maverick-sapien> BTW, when I start VBOx, usb automatically is stopped being read on Win 7 host..
[21:16] <f4tticus> Maverick, just look around in the drop downs from the VirtualBox window that the Guest is running in
[21:16] <f4tticus> it is there some where, it will say "Removable Devices" or somthing
[21:16] <f4tticus> then select your USB device and mount
[21:17] <oxidizer> hey anybody help me for this I was trying to install ubuntu on my laptop after booting and select install it show this " [  0.548104] Kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init!
[21:17] <maverick-sapien> It doesnt have thtat many things to explore in the drop down menus..I have tried everything but USB just doesnt get read.. And this is a pretty common problem, which is solved for some, but unsolved for many..  :)
[21:17] <wylde> maverick-sapien: how is scientific linux related to ubuntu?
[21:17] <ficarra> Which brings me to my next question, why are sites not offering a .deb, only a link to the software center?
[21:18] <f4tticus> yeah haha i was goingto ask
[21:18] <wylde> !#ubuntu
[21:18] <jrivers> I am currently running Natty, If I update to the newest version of Ubuntu...will I lose my files?
[21:18] <wylde> not the one I wanted >.<
[21:18] <maverick-sapien> wylde....  :P Actually m a newbie here.. tell me, how do i start my own topic/channel in IRC??
[21:19] <wylde> maverick-sapien: I told you already
[21:19] <oxidizer> hey anybody help me for this I was trying to install ubuntu on my laptop after booting and select install it show this " [  0.548104] Kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init!
[21:19] <wylde> maverick-sapien: you'd have better luck looking for support through the scientific linux site.
[21:20] <ficarra> Oxidizer, you are skilled in the art of ctl + v
[21:20] <wylde> !patience | oxidizer
[21:20] <ficarra> Instead of spamming the same message, over and over again, mind giving more info?
[21:20] <wylde> !details
[21:20] <jrivers> or just type the error into Google or something, that usually yields good results
[21:20] <bunny68> can you use pkill in a way so it kills all pids of some user BUT one?
[21:20] <maverick-sapien> oh yeah..missed ur message in this storm..sorry. I'll go learn first.. bye.
[21:21] <maverick-sapien> thanks though..
[21:21] <oxidizer> thanks
[21:21] <ficarra> But seriously, am I the only one who notices a big difference in ram/cpu usage in the newer software center?
[21:22] <wylde> ficarra: I don't use it, I use either apt-get or synaptic.
[21:22] <CesarGomez> msg NickServ identify 850611
[21:23] <ficarra> I usually just use dpkg -i
[21:23] <wylde> CesarGomez: time for a password change... it's best to enter those type of commands in the server window.
[21:23] <wylde> ficarra: that works if you downloaded the package locally yes.
[21:23] <ficarra> Yeah, I usually just download the package.
[21:23] <bunny68> CesarGomez i like your nick
[21:24] <ficarra> But some people think that software center is the best way...
[21:24] <wylde> ficarra: apt-get install packagename, downloads and installs the package and it's dependancies.
[21:24] <CesarGomez> Hello, ty bunny68
[21:24] <bunny68> yw CesarGomez
[21:24] <bunny68> so can you use pkill in a way so it kills all pids of some user BUT one particular process of a known name?
[21:25] <ficarra> wylde:  How do you add sources/partners?
[21:25] <ficarra> Never heard of this before
[21:26] <CesarGomez> wylde: lol sure xD
[21:26] <JonEdney> Hey gang, can someone explain this Disck Usage Analyzer for me a bit?  It says my / folder is at 100% usage, but the size is only 21.3 GB.
[21:26] <wylde> you can use the software sources gui in system.
[21:27] <wylde> ficarra: for ppa's you can them with 'apt-add-repository ppa:repositoryname'
[21:27] <wylde> can *add
[21:28] <CesarGomez> wylde any idea ? how can i change it ?
[21:28] <jrivers> While updating from a previous version of ubuntu to a more recent version, will I lose my programs and files?
[21:28] <wylde> jrivers: no, but you should keep backups regardless.
[21:29] <wylde> CesarGomez: I'm not sure, I've never had to change mine
[21:29] <CesarGomez> :
[21:29] <CesarGomez> :(
[21:30] <bastidrazor> CesarGomez: ask in #freenode
[21:30] <CesarGomez> k tks :D
[21:31] <jrivers> thanks
[21:31] <jrivers> Do you think an upgrade from Natty is worth it?
[21:33] <wylde> jrivers: that's entirely up to you. If you intend to upgrade to 12.04 you will have to anyway, unless you plan on a fresh install of precise.
[21:34] <mouth1> i heard that with the open source ati driver the system might use more electricity and the temperature and fans are higher
[21:34] <mouth1> can this damage my system?
[21:35] <mouth1> do i have to monitor my temps to see if everything is alright?
[21:35] <Guest1155> is there any software in ubuntu to send sms and make calls through datacard?
[21:35] <fnordism> mouth1 no
[21:35] <fnordism> mouth1: if your computer starts smoking you don't need to monitor temps anymore
[21:35] <jrivers> hahaha
[21:35] <awakecoding> hi
[21:35] <mouth1> lol
[21:36] <awakecoding> I'd like to get suggestions on software to install on ubuntu to host a private mailing list
[21:36] <awakecoding> something easy to manage, with a good spam filter option
[21:36] <mouth1> fnordism: lets say i have the same problem like the other guy (i don't think i have it) where his ati card using open source drivers is always on max temperature and fanspeed
[21:36] <awakecoding> any thoughts?
[21:36] <mouth1> that would damage it right?
[21:37] <wylde> mouth1: only if the fans couldn't keep up to the temp, or if the fan fails.
[21:37] <fnordism> mouth1: he's using a hot model
[21:37] <mouth1> hmm i don't understand :(
[21:37] <dysoco|laptop> Anyone having problems to install ruby-rvm ? I get a Dpkg error, I need to install Ruby 1.9.2 as soon as possible...

[21:39] <mouth1> fnordism: do you use ati?
[21:39] <jrivers> Great, thanks again wylde. Last Question; I am attempting to delete adobe air from my winetricks folder, yet it says it isn't there (it is) when i go to download it, it says I already have it installed.
[21:39] <jrivers> Any tips?
[21:40] <fnordism> yes i used ati on my notebook
[21:40] <jrivers> Also the "it" I am refering to is the terminal
[21:40] <mouth1> what drivers did you use?
[21:40] <fnordism> non proprietary
[21:40] <fnordism> those default linux ones
[21:40] <mouth1> cool!
[21:40] <mouth1> can you play 3d games and games through wine with those?
[21:41] <mouth1> i have a HD6850
[21:41] <fnordism> i think they have some open gl support

[21:59] <yakster> so I am looking for asound.conf, don't have it…

[22:04] <ickefes> hi guys. i have a (simple) question. if i want to give a user called ftpusers permission to write to the folder /car/ftp/ what comma nd line should i write? regards.
[22:09] <SquirrelNutZippe> ickefes, look at the group perms for the /car/ftp/ directory and then include the user you want to give access in that group
[22:10] <ickefes> so a folder can only have one static user? not a can do that and B
[22:11] <yakster> i would like to install alas global, not per user, to reinstall alas i would apt-get reinstall alsa ????
[22:11] <ickefes> can do that but only owner/user, next step one group and then the rest (others)?
[22:12] <SquirrelNutZippe> no, by adding them as a member of the group that has access to that folder you give everyone who is a member of that group access to that dir
[22:13] <SquirrelNutZippe> just run the command 'vi /etc/group', then find the name of the group that 'owns' that directory, and add the user to the list of users already there
[22:14] <ickefes> i will try that squirrel. thanks!
[22:14] <SquirrelNutZippe> np
[22:14] <SquirrelNutZippe> hope it works the way you'd like
[22:15] <ickefes> i never thought setting up a simple ftp in linux would be so difficult :)
[22:15] <SquirrelNutZippe> what kind of ftp server r u using?
[22:15] <ickefes> i am trying vsftpd.
[22:15] <SquirrelNutZippe> it might just be easier to config the user-you-want-to-give-access-to in the FTP server config file
[22:15] <yakster> I like using webmin to manage my server graphically without having a real frontend
[22:16] <SquirrelNutZippe> lol, I hear ya yakster
[22:16] <ickefes> i want a simple ftp on this laptop so that i can from my desktop download cd rips i have on the laptop
[22:16] <SquirrelNutZippe> CLI is for us 'old folk'
[22:16] <yakster> well then why even use FTP…
[22:16] <yakster> just sftp and there u go
[22:16] <yakster> SFTP is on just because you use SSH to manage your system remote…
[22:17] <ammar_ahmad1993x> hello
[22:17] <SquirrelNutZippe> ickefes, so it's desktop-from-laptop?
[22:17] <yakster> use a sftp app, like on mac i use cyberduck, sftp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@123.45.678.98
[22:17] <SquirrelNutZippe> do you want a quick, GUI-oriented way to do it?
[22:17] <yakster> or smb
[22:17] <ammar_ahmad1993x> I wanted to ask if I download the latest version of ubuntu, will I get support for it?
[22:17] <ickefes> laptop2desktop
[22:18] <ickefes> sftp... never tried that
[22:18] <yakster> you'll need a program on the receiving end…
[22:18] <SquirrelNutZippe> icky, you can also install 'Teamviewer'
[22:18] <SquirrelNutZippe> on both
[22:18] <yakster> what os are you on now?
[22:18] <ammar_ahmad1993x> I am on 11.10
[22:18] <ammar_ahmad1993x> I am talking about the beta
[22:18] <ammar_ahmad1993x> if I install it
[22:18] <ammar_ahmad1993x> will I get support for it?
[22:19] <SquirrelNutZippe> will prolly only get "beta" support for it
[22:19] <SquirrelNutZippe> i.e., "best effort"
[22:19] <yakster> ickefes, what os do you want to transfer to from your ubuntu machine?
[22:20] <OerHeks> support for precise pangolin in #Ubuntu+1 until release
[22:20] <ammar_ahmad1993x> so will I be able to update it to the non-beta version afterwards
[22:20] <OerHeks> yes
[22:20] <ammar_ahmad1993x> great :D
[22:20] <zykotick9> !final | ammar_ahmad1993x
[22:21] <ammar_ahmad1993x> thanks
[22:21] <OerHeks> ammar_ahmad1993x, backup your files & documents, before doing beta
[22:21] <zykotick9> ammar_ahmad1993x: only #ubuntu+1 for support
[22:22] <ammar_ahmad1993x> I also wanted to ask if I can write apps in vb.net and run them on ubuntu
[22:23] <GraemeLion> ammar_ahmad1993x: Not really, no.
[22:23] <cmon> does anyone know if editing Torrents already uploadet at piratebay is broken?
[22:23] <netsurf3_> just passing through but checkout mono ammar_ahmad1993x
[22:23] <SquirrelNutZippe> GraemeLion, will it work with mono?
[22:23] <Jordan_U> !ot | cmon
[22:23] <GraemeLion> SquirrelNutZippe: Somewhat.  Mono will let you do some things.
[22:23] <ammar_ahmad1993x> so which language do you suggest?
[22:23] <cmon> np
[22:24] <SquirrelNutZippe> what's your goal ammar_ahmad1993x ?
[22:24] <GraemeLion> ammar_ahmad1993x: Well, we do have limited C# support through mono, so you can use that, but you can't directly write in Visual studio and run on linux
[22:24] <GraemeLion> It really depends on what you wish to do
[22:25] <ammar_ahmad1993x> I recently installed ubuntu on my laptop. I use visual studio on my windows machine to make applications. I wanted to create applications for Ubuntu OS as well.
[22:26] <GraemeLion> ammar_ahmad1993x: Check out http://developer.ubuntu.com
[22:29] <Areckx> iiiiinstalling!!!!!! yes!!!!
[22:31] <ammar_ahmad1993x> great :D

[22:37] <Lunar_Lander> I just wonder where that came from
[22:40] <cespare> I'm having trouble with applications hanging periodically, and I think it's because my ssd is occasionally becoming unresponsive. How can I verify this hypothesis?
[22:41] <tomvolek> HIi, I am tryign to set a cron job to run nights to backup some files, the script to back up is working. the cron does not.  my /etc/crontab entry lookslike:  15 40  * * *   tom    /home/neil/backups/acapbackup.sh    any ideas ?
[22:43] <ironm> tomvolek, have you restarted crond ?
[22:43] <phillijw> I was running monodevelop 2.6 and meanwhile I installed 2.8 from badgerports. When I open the monodevelop link it opens 2.6. What gives?
[22:43] <tomvolek> ah ironm no, thought the deamon will check for a timestamp on /etc/crontab and see if it has been changed
[22:45] <Octane> okay time to check otu 12.04 b2!!
[22:45] <Areckx> godspeed...
[22:45] <Areckx> which are you currently running?
[22:46] <Octane> 11.04 in a vm on this machine and 11.04 on my laptop... but that was after upgrading from 4.04 lol
[22:46] <Octane> err 5.04*
[22:46] <Lunar_Lander> kbrosnan, thanks for your help
[22:46] <Areckx> what pc model is the planned install?
[22:47] <spaceneedle> Thru synaptic I removed two old kernels but after rebooting I notice that the kernels show up on the grub screen. How do I remove them?
[22:47] <Octane> dual core 3ghz
[22:48] <spaceneedle> ailurus does NOT work on Ubuntu 12.04.
[22:49] <Octane> is Wubi available for 12.04?
[22:51] <Punk_Unity> Octane, should be
[22:51] <aaas> spaceneedle edit your grub menu..../boot/menu.conf? and run grub-update can't remember what it is for grub2
[22:51] <Octane> o :( http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/wubi-installation-changes-mooted-for-ubuntu-12-04/
[22:52] <caserno22> whois
[22:53] <dlentz> Octane, http://www.theorangenotebook.com/2012/02/call-for-testing-wubi.html
[22:54] <derp_> Hey all. So, is there an equivalent to ctrl + alt + delete in ubuntu 12.04?
[22:55] <Octane> dlentz thanks
[22:55] <GraemeLion> derp_: You can ctrl-alt-F1 to get to a terminal
[22:55] <GraemeLion> andthen CTRL-ALT-F7 to get back
[22:56] <derp_> GraemeLion: Alright... cool... and then list the processes that are running and kill the trouble maker?
[22:56] <dlentz> derp_, sudo apt-get install htop
[22:56] <dlentz> (then run htop_
[22:56] <areckx_> yay
[22:56] <areckx_> xchat!
[22:57] <Punk_Unity> yay
[22:59] <Nk26> whats the best way to have something auto run on restart/boot? currently im cd /bin/znc and then running ./znc id like to automate that
[23:00] <escott> Nk26, /etc/rc.local
[23:01] <derp_> Yeah, tried ctrl+alt+f1 and it worked, but f7 to get back did not...
[23:01] <derp_> Someone was saying something about htop (or something like that?).
[23:02] <Octane> stupid question but is it easy to repartition the partitions wubi creates at a later date if i want more room?
[23:02] <escott> Octane, wubi doesnt create partitions
[23:02] <Nk26> escott do i just add the directory ? so home/znc/bin/znc and it will execute that?
[23:02] <petros> hi guys! why with nvidia drivers installed the consoles (F1-F6) appears black?
[23:03] <Octane> o
[23:03] <escott> Nk26, you should list the full path, but it runs as root which may not be what you want. if you want it to run on your login you can do that with your gnome-session-properties
[23:04] <nicekiwi> heyy, how do I access windows shares from within a Ubuntu VM with Virtualbox? Ive setup shares within VB but I dont know howto mount them
[23:05] <zykotick9> petros: have you tried (or are you currently using) a vga= or GRUB_GFXMODE= for grub?  I remember breaking nvidia's VTs trying to play with plymouth.
[23:05] <nicekiwi> :/ actually the shares HAVE mounted, but it says I dont have permission to access them
[23:06] <escott> nicekiwi, are you accessing guest files on the host or host files on the guest?
[23:06] <escott> nicekiwi, or are you sidestepping the whole thing and trying to do it as a network->network share?
[23:06] <chocolates> Hello, I used to have Ubuntu, but one day it became corrupted, and so did my Windows partition. In the end, I installed XP on the F drive, while the other two partitions were unused. Is there a way to combine the space of the other two partitions with the partition windows is on?
[23:06] <Nk26> escott im running ubuntu server does that make any difference?
[23:07] <Nk26> just using the account I created
 yes, but it din't work
[23:07] <escott> Nk26, if its a server you probably never login so put it in rc.local, but recall it runs as root
[23:07] <gohdan> nicekiwi: if you using "normal" shared folders your have to use VBoxManage
[23:08] <zykotick9> petros: well, try to undo what you did.
[23:08] <gohdan> s/you/you're
[23:09] <nicekiwi> escott: hostfiles from the guest system
[23:09] <escott> chocolates, gparted on the livecd will be able to resize partitions
[23:09] <nicekiwi> how do i graphically manage users and groups in Ubuntu 11.10 which package do I need?
[23:10] <chocolates> escott: But what if I want to give ALL the space back to windows, since ubuntu is gone?
[23:10] <escott> nicekiwi, then why not use the guest additions
[23:10] <gohdan> nicekiwi: 'users-admin'
[23:11] <escott> chocolates, yes. im not sure how else to answer that
[23:11] <nicekiwi> escott: i AM using the guest additions
[23:12] <nicekiwi> gohdan: that package dosnt exist in the standard ubuntu 11.10 repos
[23:12] <escott> nicekiwi, what are the permissions on the folder
[23:13] <nicekiwi> escott: where?
[23:13] <escott> nicekiwi, in the guest
[23:13] <nicekiwi> escott: looks like root and vboxsf
[23:14] <nicekiwi> i doubt my user is in the vboxsf group thought
[23:14] <nicekiwi> though
[23:14] <gohdan> nicekiwi: have you tried VBoxManage yet?
[23:14] <escott> nicekiwi, then add yourself to vboxsf
[23:14] <nicekiwi> gohdan: whats that?
[23:14] <nicekiwi> escott: how?
[23:14] <gohdan> nicekiwi: read sections 4.2 in the manual
[23:14] <escott> nicekiwi, usermod -a -G vboxsf username
[23:15] <gohdan> **4.3
[23:16] <gohdan> or both, since they are sort of related.
[23:16] <areckx_> *Ding dong, the Windows OS is dead!!!*
[23:19] <nicekiwi> escott: still says I dont have permisson to view contents of the drive
[23:21] <nicekiwi> gohdan: dosnt this just accomplish whats dont in the GUI of virtualbox?
[23:21] <nicekiwi> done*
[23:21] <escott> nicekiwi, sudo -i and see if you can see it as root. if you cant see it as root then its something in the host
[23:22] <nicekiwi> escott: i can see into it as root
[23:23] <nicekiwi> escott: I need to be able to access the share within digikam
[23:24] <escott> nicekiwi, if you want to paste the permissions of the folder and its contents we can look at it
[23:24] <nicekiwi> escott: how do i copy them?
[23:25] <wylde> !pastebin | nicekiwi
[23:25] <nicekiwi> wylde: thanks, but not helpful
[23:25] <nicekiwi> escott: i mean how do i see them to be able to copy them
[23:26] <escott> nicekiwi, you just said you could see them as root
[23:27] <nicekiwi> escott: i can see the files within the folders..
[23:28] <nicekiwi> escott: how do i view the permissons of the folders within terminal?
[23:28] <nicekiwi> escott: dir just shows the folder names
[23:28] <gohdan> nicekiwi: ls -l

[23:30] <Roasted> Anybody have any experience with Lexmark X1185 printers? Trying to get the scanner portion of it working...
[23:30] <escott> nicekiwi, and as a member of vboxsf you cannot access the files?
[23:31] <wylde> Roasted: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=49714
[23:32] <Roasted> wylde, yeeeeeeeeep. been there.
[23:32] <Roasted> working on a new lead I just found 2 seconds ago though
[23:32] <Roasted> I should have known with this being a lexmark I should avoid it. That company is so fail.
[23:32] <wylde> Roasted: alrighty, lol so true.
[23:33] <Roasted> I just wanted a scanner to scan a bunch of tax documents I have, 15 dollars later on craigslist here I am with a lexmark clunker. :(
[23:33] <wylde> Roasted: I have a dell all in one(re-branded lexmark) that I have a windows vm setup to act as a print server.
[23:33] <nicekiwi> escott: i logged and and in again after adding myself to the vboxsf group. works now :)
[23:34] <Roasted> wylde, nice. I have a network laserjet here on the LAN. I just wanted a flatbed scanner to scan documents.
[23:34] <Roasted> wylde, so when I found this cheap all in one I snagged it almost before I realized it was a lexmark.
[23:34] <wylde> roasted, yeah printers can be a pain with any flavour of linux.
[23:35] <phillijw> printers can be a pain with windows
[23:35] <Roasted> wylde, I haven't had too much of an issue as long as I stick with proper brands.
[23:35] <Roasted> wylde, I've had just as much, if not, more frustration with lexmark/windows as I've had lexmark/linux.
[23:35] <kommand> thats why I recommend windows ^^
[23:36] <wylde> Roasted: true heh. Just not as difficult to get the fax/copy/scan options to work.
[23:36] <Roasted> wylde, my last comment still stands true. lexmark sucks on any platform. ;)
[23:36] <nicekiwi> escott: thanks :)
[23:38] <OerHeks> best printer buy tip: check openprinting.org first
[23:38] <wylde> Roasted: I went through the trouble of the VM just to use up the ink I have lol. Once that's finished I'll be shopping for a linux supported printer.
[23:39] <Roasted> wylde, good deal. I'll likely be shopping for a new scanner momentarily as I'm feeling rather homicidal the more I work with this junker.
[23:39] <wylde> Roasted: I feel your pain! heh, been there :)
[23:41] <wylde> Roasted: been here? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man5/sane-lexmark.5.html
[23:41] <Dj_FlyBy> where is the config file for Apache2 in Ubuntu?
[23:42] <wylde> Dj_FlyBy: /etc/apache2

[23:43] <Dj_FlyBy> wylde: thanks
[23:43] <wylde> !info libsane
[23:44] <skulltip> i tried upgrading to 11.10, it boots to a black screen with cursor, can't hit clt-alt-F2 or nothing. keyboard is frozen up
[23:51] <sdz> How can I configure a shortcut key to send a commonly-used string (maybe a username, email address, etc) to the current window? (running xfce4 if that matters)
[23:53] <aaas> sdz lastpass lastpass lastpass...if you are talking about logging into things
[23:55] <Areckx> wiiguy has a good quote
[23:58] <txomon> hi, is here someone with 2 screens and gnome-shell? I want to test something before reporting as a bug
[23:58] <ghil> sorry, I don't have GS installed.
[23:59] <Octane> anyone here install ubuntu with wubi? if so, how big is your install size?
[23:59] <ghil> it's customizable in the Wubi options, normal is 16go but you can go much lower than that.
