| zykotick9 | pmp6nl: expect issues ;) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| sokak | zykotick9, thats the point, when i try to get the manpage of getlibs, it points me to man 7 undocumented | 00:00 |
| zykotick9 | pmp6nl: best to disable all PPAs, upgrade, and then readd the PPAs (i think the install does that automatically though ;) | 00:00 |
| sokak | also no luck googling | 00:00 |
| pmp6nl | zykotick9, ok ill try, or maybe i will just reinstall everything | 00:00 |
| trism | synackfin: aptitude search ~o | 00:01 |
| wylde | pndemc_: so basically it's controlled completely remotely, using ssh and sftp for the most part. | 00:01 |
| pndemc_ | wylde, I plan on using a GUI on mine, will this have much of a performance impact? I seriously doubt I could do it all command-line only | 00:01 |
| zykotick9 | sokak: i wouldn't be surprise if getlibs doesn't have a man page - check online or something? i haven't used getlibs in a while, don't have it install currently so can't really test. | 00:01 |
| wylde | pndemc_: that honestly depends on the DE and if you're going to run things like compiz or any other compositing on it. | 00:02 |
| sokak | zykotick9, so i guess its time to nuke everything, purge my home from all config data, and start a fresh pangoline. Many forums have still opened threads about getlibs uninstall pointing to nil - im just too lazy to manually clean everything | 00:02 |
| pndemc_ | wylde, it's currently a windows server, that we have VNC access to | 00:02 |
| pndemc_ | wylde, so theres explorer running | 00:02 |
| zykotick9 | sokak: fresh install (with data backups) is the cleanest route | 00:02 |
| sokak | zykotick9, i have no probs on that - my home sits on its own 4 tb hdd ;o | 00:03 |
| wylde | pndemc_: potentially, it CAN cause a fair bit more load. However a minimal GUI can give you very little overhead.(LXDE for example) | 00:03 |
| pndemc_ | wylde, would I be able to disable/reenable the GUI at the ease of a command? | 00:03 |

| wylde | pndemc_: yep, just kill the xserver. | 00:03 |
| sokak | i have just been too damn lazy and forgot to ddump my system partition before messing | 00:03 |
| three18ti_ | AndChat311001, you set it when you install the OS. you can boot into safe mode and reset the PW. | 00:04 |
| Fyodorovna | AndChat311001, the live cd? | 00:04 |
| pndemc_ | wylde, okay, if I go Debian Squeeze, it's just Gnome 2.3, that minimal enough? | 00:04 |
| sokak | that will be my first step after reinstalling and updating pangoline. | 00:04 |
| three18ti_ | trying to update and I keep getting Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-updates_main_binary-amd64_Packages Hash Sum mismatch after an apt-get update. Anyone else? | 00:04 |

| ActionParsnip | kfizz: iwconfig | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | kfizz: or use wicd-curses :) | 00:05 |
| wylde | pndemc_: when you install, if your don't install anything like gdm, lightdm, kdm etc., then you just type 'startx' when you want to use the gui, and kill the xserver when you're finished. | 00:05 |
| smallfoot- | hmm | 00:05 |
| dkap | hi, i just upgraded to ubunntu 12.04 64 bit and tried to install chrome, but the libnss3-1d package was missing... | 00:06 |

| pndemc_ | wylde, that's exactly what I'm looking for. this server will be hosting a few game servers so that will be perfect for performance | 00:06 |
| pndemc_ | wylde, I've come to realize hosting game servers on windows is a pain | 00:07 |
| wylde | pndemc_: lol, I'm not going to disagree with you! | 00:07 |
| pndemc_ | wylde, a tf2 server update broke our server for half a week | 00:08 |
| pndemc_ | wylde, only broke windows servers <_< | 00:08 |
| wylde | pndemc_: yikes... that's never good. So doing a test run in *nix or planning on a full swith? | 00:09 |
| AndChat311001 | three18ti_ no I didn't set password | 00:09 |
| three18ti_ | ok, think I found my answer, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11593258&postcount=2 | 00:09 |

| AndChat311001 | U s b | 00:10 |
| AndChat311001 | Live | 00:10 |
| pndemc_ | wylde, planning on a full switch (since we now also want to webhost on it), I want to do a test run first though so the actual switch goes smoothly | 00:10 |
| pndemc_ | setting up srcds on linux is a little more complicated because of the differences between distros | 00:10 |
| killown | how disable this feature on 12.04 for those who have multi monitors, if you move de mouse cursor slowly it will not allows it passes to the other monitor unless you move it fast? | 00:11 |
| pndemc_ | wylde, setting up srcds on linux is a little more complicated because of the differences between distros | 00:11 |
| wylde | pndemc_: ALWAYS a good idea :) Not to mention backups! which never seem to be thought about until people have a dead or dying system heh. | 00:11 |

| OfficeITGuy149 | Hey #Ubuntu! This might be a really dumb question, but is it possible to install a windows driver in ubuntu? I have a Lenovo U300s trackpad which is awful in Ubuntu, and someone says they replaced their driver with a Dell one and it's great now. | 00:11 |
| sokak_ | wild question. whats the more multithread friendly, secure and more efficient compression method i can pipe dd to? | 00:12 |
| three18ti_ | AndChat311001, how did you create the liveCD? | 00:12 |
| wylde | pndemc_: being a bit more complicated can be resolved with a little extra reasearch, which beats broken servers by a mile, I think anyway :) | 00:12 |
| bazhang | DaniG2k, ibus-setup yet? | 00:12 |
| pndemc_ | OfficeITGuy149, I think dell offers some ubuntu drivers because of their partnership | 00:12 |
| OfficeITGuy149 | Interesing pndemc_, do you know where I can find those? I'm googling around now... | 00:13 |
| vexaxv | anyone having issues with the unity bar auto hide? | 00:13 |

| AndChat311001 | three18ti_ I deleted a couple of application and did update and when i rebooted I was promted to username and password | 00:14 |
| dkap | if a package had errors installing, how do we remove it, so that next time when we try installing another package, ubuntu does not complain about the former? | 00:14 |
| wylde | dkap: 'sudo apt-get -f install' | 00:14 |
| three18ti_ | AndChat311001, what applications did you remove? Have you tried logging in using no password? | 00:15 |

| frankbro | Having a weird issue with 12.04 on my acer iconia w500. After a while, mouse and keyboard inputs wont react with unity. I see my mouse moving, if I ctrl+alt+f1, I have access to tty, top shows nothing is hugging my CPU, yet I cant do anything. | 00:15 |
| pndemc_ | OfficeITGuy149, sorry I don't, only know because of those ubuntu computers dell was selling awhile back | 00:15 |
| OfficeITGuy149 | OK thanks. | 00:15 |
| acalbaza | anyone have a problem with eclipse context menus in 12.04 | 00:15 |
| zykotick9 | the gnome-session-fallback is very gnome 2 like. the !notunity factoid should be updated. | 00:15 |
| sarnold | kfizz: if you're in real trouble, if you boot with the kernel parameter init=/bin/sh, you'll be given an administrative shell immediately after root has been mounted -- nothing else gets mounted, no other scripts get run, so you've got a fairly plain system to work with. | 00:15 |

| pndemc_ | so what's new with unity in 12.04? | 00:16 |
| prime_ | @search Logically Fallacious | 00:16 |

| prime_ | oops sorry! | 00:17 |
| zykotick9 | !notunity | 00:17 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 00:17 |
| prime_ | Hi all - Is this a good place to ask a 12.04 question? | 00:17 |
| three18ti_ | prime_, just ask | 00:17 |
| wylde | !ask | prime_ | 00:17 |
| ubottu | prime_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 00:17 |

| td123 | pndemc_: if you lock your computer, alt+ctrl+f1 and ctrl+c :P | 00:25 |

| pndemc_ | td123, so startx would not be a problem for server use? | 00:26 |

| AaronCampbell | Logan_: Sorry, you're right...on the laptop. But not the desktop I'm on | 00:27 |
| td123 | pndemc_: I don't know the situation, I guess if you only use startx for like 1 continuous session | 00:27 |

| gogeta | wtf happond unity is not slow crashy and otherwie suck | 00:28 |
| td123 | pndemc_: in the end it's your decision, it's just good that you know the possible problem | 00:28 |
| Logan_ | gogeta: Is that a backhanded compliment? | 00:28 |
| gogeta | who finnly fired the artest and made a real window manager out of it | 00:28 |

| pndemc_ | are there themes for unity? | 00:29 |
| Logan_ | Nope. | 00:29 |
| Logan_ | pndemc_: Well, not for the launcher. | 00:29 |
| bazhang | pndemc_, you mean a lens? | 00:30 |
| pndemc_ | theres 2 for window colours, are there more sources for these? | 00:30 |

| krababbel | great | 00:31 |

| Bennlucky7 | good morning all | 00:31 |
| ^Mike | How hard is it to get gnome-shell or gnome2 on a 12.04 install? | 00:31 |
| pndemc_ | I'll give it a try after the 12.04 update | 00:31 |
| bazhang | !notunity | ^Mike | 00:32 |
| ubottu | ^Mike: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 00:32 |
| celso | does someone can tell me if i should install the amd post updates install driver or it will broken my xserver again ? (ubuntu 12.04) | 00:32 |
| bazhang | ^Mike, gnome2 is gone, absent an unstable unsupported ppa | 00:32 |
| Logan_ | celso: The post-release updates driver is very broken, I believe. It didn't work for me. | 00:32 |
| krababbel | it has usability, gnome3 | 00:33 |
| ^Mike | I assume you mean "absent a stable, supported, ppa" :( | 00:33 |
| Fizzik | any recommend some remote desktop server apps for linux? | 00:33 |
| Fizzik | that i can access via my windows machine | 00:33 |
| bazhang | ^Mike, no, as there are not any supported PPA of any kind | 00:33 |
| gogeta | ^Mike: look up the mate project its gnome 2 ported to gtk3 | 00:33 |
| Logan_ | Fizzik: TeamViewer is very easy to set up. | 00:34 |
| pndemc_ | I believe Mint is using MATE | 00:34 |
| Logan_ | !vnc | Fizzik, you may want to take a look at this also | 00:34 |
| ubottu | Fizzik, you may want to take a look at this also: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 00:34 |
| celso | that is the problem. cause it should be disabled. but i dont want to broken my entire OS. but thanks for the help logan | 00:34 |
| gogeta | pndemc_: mint uses everything lol | 00:34 |
| Logan_ | celso: No problem. I find that the open source driver works fine with my card. | 00:34 |
| pndemc_ | gogeta, mate on their main release ^^ | 00:35 |
| celso | true, but i curently use fglrx because it controls better my fans( in my opinion) :D | 00:35 |
| pndemc_ | how well would windows run in a virtualbox? | 00:35 |
| pndemc_ | good enough for gaming? | 00:35 |
| gogeta | pndemc_: umm no | 00:36 |
| Logan_ | pndemc_: Probably not. | 00:36 |
| ^Mike | Can you upgrade from an ISO? The alternate image, right? | 00:36 |
| krababbel | dosbox reliably | 00:36 |
| bazhang | ^Mike, yes | 00:36 |
| celso | Logan: and did you tried the hybrid graphics? (if you have) or still broken? | 00:36 |
| gogeta | pndemc_: win will run many games just not all of them | 00:36 |
| gogeta | wine | 00:36 |
| ^Mike | excellent, thanks | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip | ^Mike: yes, you don't even need to burn it, you can just loop mount it | 00:36 |
| pndemc_ | I have steam running in wine | 00:36 |
| Logan_ | celso: I have hybrid graphics in my laptop, and I just have the AMD card disabled since the Intel one doesn't use the fans as much and saves battery. I don't do gaming. | 00:37 |
| pndemc_ | but game performance was unplayable | 00:37 |
| ^Mike | ActionParsnip: Yes, I remember doing that previously | 00:37 |
| gogeta | pndemc_: steam is coming for linux first game will be left4dead 2 | 00:37 |
| Fizzik | ok so i need to get x11vnc running but can i access it in windows | 00:37 |
| pndemc_ | I heard, very excited :D | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip | does nayone need more than tuxcart? | 00:37 |

| gogeta | pndemc_: yea it got leaked a long time ago they just denied it this long | 00:38 |
| celso | Logan: how? did you disabled on the bios? sorry... maybe i am asking too much... | 00:38 |
| bazhang | gogeta, lets get back on topic | 00:38 |
| celso | Logan: i am asking because i can't disable on bios and dont know how to disable on the OS. | 00:39 |
| aarcane | So has anyone tried Business Desktop Remix? Far as I can tell it's not a lot different. | 00:39 |
| Loonatic | where they hidden the xorg.conf in 12.04 LTS ? | 00:40 |
| gogeta | aarcane: most remixes are not just a diffrent app set | 00:40 |
| Logan_ | celso: No, no. Don't worry about asking. I personally have an Envy 14, and I was able to use these instructions to disable the discrete card: http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-envy-hdx/498550-envy-14-linux-27.html#post8013756 | 00:40 |
| zykotick9 | Loonatic: not there by default (hasn't been for a while) | 00:40 |
| gogeta | Loonatic: no its not used if you need it you have to genrate it | 00:40 |
| gogeta | Loonatic: all auto now | 00:40 |
| Loonatic | gogeta: ok.. so if i have an issue playing .mp4 they are choppy but not .mov or .mp3 | 00:41 |
| aarcane | Aha, I found the difference. BUsiness Desktop is 32 bit only :( | 00:41 |
| ManuelSantana | why the ubuntu side bar doesn't hide in 12.04 | 00:41 |
| ManuelSantana | ? | 00:41 |
| gogeta | Loonatic: is it a old box or something h264 can use alot of cpu | 00:41 |
| celso | Logan: wait.... that fixed your problem with hybrid graphics??? are you sure??? just that? | 00:42 |
| Logan_ | ManuelSantana: It was a design decision. You can set it to autohide using CCSM. | 00:42 |
| Logan_ | !ccsm | ManuelSantana | 00:42 |
| ubottu | ManuelSantana: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 00:42 |
| ManuelSantana | ccsm? | 00:42 |
| Loonatic | ManuelSantana: SystemSettings --> Appearance --> Behavior --> On :) | 00:42 |
| cap | gogeta: Loonatic Actually, it's been "all auto" for some time now. ButL: When you install proprietary drivers, the xorg.conf file is created a that time. | 00:42 |
| Logan_ | celso: Yeah, the rc.local changes did it for me. You just comment out either the "echo DIGD" line or the "echo DDIS" line in the file, depending on which one you want the computer to use when booting. | 00:43 |
| ManuelSantana | thanks Loonatic | 00:43 |
| Loonatic | cap: ok i think this is what i need to do to enable my radeon card | 00:43 |
| Logan_ | celso: (I'm referring to the "Fix Hybrid Graphics and Brightness at Startup" section of that post.) | 00:43 |
| Lint | What should I do to enable gnome-shell? | 00:43 |
| cap | Loonatic: Well, yea, maybe for some of the advanced features.... | 00:43 |
| kfizz | How can I edit the gateway four an eth0 connection? The route command failed to set it | 00:44 |
| gogeta | Logan_: well then you just genrate the xorg.conf and the system wile use it and you can pass oprions | 00:44 |
| sokak_ | seems like i found an answer to mi previous question - just sharing for anyone's interested sake. Piping dd to tar, and then repacking the result to a 7z -mx9 -mmt backup.7z seems doing the magic of multithread compression AND permission saving. | 00:44 |
| sokak_ | i guess i can do one liner from that. | 00:44 |
| Logan_ | gogeta: It's deeper down than X, though. | 00:44 |
| Lint | sokak_, you don´t need tar | 00:44 |
| gogeta | Logan_: thats the file you need to mod rite | 00:44 |

| Loonatic | cap: i think i should be able to play goPRO video with a FireMV2250 plsu AMD64 3800+ 2.5GbRAM | 00:44 |
| ryan-c | sokak_: you should modify tar to support a -7 option | 00:45 |
| sokak_ | Lint, as far as i can remember 7zip could mess with permissions | 00:45 |
| Logan_ | gogeta: No, /etc/rc.local. | 00:45 |
| trevor | so what exactly are the benefits of LTS? | 00:45 |
| gogeta | Logan_: thats still there | 00:45 |
| === trevor is now known as Guest82066 | ||
| Lint | sokak_, you get NO permissions from dd, it´s just random binary data | 00:45 |
| celso | Logan: yes, yes, so, if i want to use the intel all the time, just need to remove my ATI driver and use the script that curently is written and its done! :D oh man, you made my day! :D | 00:45 |
| Logan_ | gogeta: Wait, I think we're talking about two different problems. :-P | 00:45 |
| sokak_ | ryan- | 00:45 |

| Logan_ | celso: No problem. :-) | 00:46 |
| gogeta | Logan_: didnt you say coppy mp4 | 00:46 |
| ^Mike | Guest82066: It is very recommended for servers. Less so for desktops | 00:46 |
| Logan_ | gogeta: Doesn't heat up as much, better battery life (I'm assuming this is a laptop). | 00:46 |
| sokak_ | Lint, i guess i was focusing on the scale right in front of me without realizing i was sitting on a bigger scale | 00:46 |
| krej | Hello. I just installed 12.04 amd64 on my desktop and it didn't automatically add Windows to grub. How can I fix that? | 00:46 |
| Guest82066 | also what advantage is there for running a 64 bit os rather than 32 | 00:46 |
| Logan_ | gogeta: No... | 00:46 |
| Tiktalik | I'm gonna make a starbound logo vector | 00:46 |
| celso | Logan: But curently need to check if it will work on my acer 3820tg but will going to do it now :D thanks again Logan! | 00:47 |
| gogeta | Logan_: mine is all ati it just goes real low power | 00:47 |
| acalbaza | why is the login window resolution so large in 12.04? | 00:47 |
| Tiktalik | Guest82066, you can use more ram | 00:47 |
| Logan_ | gogeta: Ah. | 00:47 |
| Tiktalik | 32 bit OSes have a limit of 4gb | 00:47 |
| gogeta | Logan_: same for my nibida gtx laptop | 00:47 |

| zykotick9 | krej: from a terminal try "sudo update-grub" and see if it automatically adds it. | 00:47 |
| ^Mike | Guest82066: It depends on what you need from your OS. Do you need newer versions of applications? Then you'll benefit. | 00:47 |
| Tiktalik | 64 bit OSes have a ridiculously high limit | 00:47 |
| celso | Logan: How? | 00:47 |
| BrianH | Hey guys, just updated my Ubuntu 11.10 system to 12.04, and now all the font is white ... Any quick fixes? | 00:47 |
| ^Mike | Guest82066: you should run an OS that matches your hardware's architecture | 00:47 |
| Lint | What should I do to enable gnome-shell? | 00:47 |
| sokak_ | i do agree Tiktalik, im running ridiculous amounts of vms alltogheter atm | 00:48 |
| hashbrowncipher | BrianH: I had that issue. I went to the Appearance tab of the control center | 00:48 |
| hashbrowncipher | and changed the theme, and it worked out | 00:48 |
| the-erm | Lint: I think you have to log out, and select a gnome 3 session. | 00:48 |
| Tiktalik | sokak_: I have 8 gb in here | 00:48 |
| VvWolverinevV | hello, i accidentally cancelled an upgrade from a live CD, after rebooting, i get (initramfs) prompt, is it possible to recover? | 00:48 |
| Logan_ | celso: Er, actually, there isn't. I guess you just have to test it out. | 00:48 |
| sokak_ | Tiktalik, i know the feeling bro | 00:48 |
| Loonatic | Wow that Xorg turn out to be quite a project lol | 00:48 |
| Guest82066 | ^mike can you tell me more about making sure my os 'matches' my architecture? | 00:48 |
| Lint | it segfaults | 00:48 |
| krej | zykotick9, I ran that and it said it found a linux, initrd, and memtest86+ image, but it doesn't look like it found Windows. | 00:48 |
| ManuelSantana | Lint seach for it in the software center | 00:48 |
| ^Mike | Guest82066: If you have 64 bit processor, you should use a 64 bit OS. | 00:49 |
| celso | Logan: No problem. I will check the batery life. going to try it now! :D thanks ;) | 00:49 |
| zykotick9 | krej: sorry man, that's my only suggestion. good luck. | 00:49 |
| Guest82066 | ok how do i find out if i have a 64 bit processor? | 00:49 |
| Logan_ | celso: But, once that script is added, you can run "cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch" upon boot to see which card is enabled. | 00:49 |
| gogeta | Guest82066: any intel core is 64bit | 00:49 |
| Lint | search for what? gnome-shell-which-doesn´t-segfaults? | 00:49 |
| cap | Guest82066: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 00:49 |
| krej | Darn. Does anyone else know how I can add Windows to GRUB when Ubuntu 12.04 didn't do it itself? | 00:49 |
| sokak_ | ^Mike, i totally agree but i will still continue to keep a 32 bit usb stick - no more messing with getlibs just to have audio in adobe air games | 00:49 |
| Logan_ | celso: You should hypothetically see IGD: Pwr and DIS: off | 00:49 |
| ^Mike | Guest82066: Technically, you are probably okay to use either 32 or 64 bits with newer processors. In that case, you should use 64 bit if you have >4GB of RAM. | 00:50 |
| BrianH | hashbrowncipher, awesome, thanks :) | 00:50 |

| ubottu | Lint: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 00:53 |
| barxool | sokak_> I read several review before buying a new CPU and bulldozer was not worthy | 00:53 |
| krej | Fyodorovna, I don't think I removed the boot partition. I installed Windows to its own partition, then made a new one for Ubuntu and installed it there. I don't think I removed anything | 00:53 |
| sokak_ | ty barxool | 00:53 |
| Lint | bazhang, it just doesn´t run and segfaults when gnome-shell is started manually | 00:53 |
| zeeno | Lint, after you apt-getted that, you'll have the gnome-classic option on the gear icon (logon screen) | 00:54 |

| u-haul | Hey all - can anyone give me a little bit of help with networking in Ubuntu 11.10 Server? It is a HP Proliant Microserver, and the ethernet is /directly/ connected to a PS3. The ethernet works if the PS3 is on when the HP is switched on and if the PS3 is switched on after the HP is switched on. If the PS3 is switched off and then on again while the HP is on, the network goes down (understandably) | 00:54 |
| u-haul | but then doesn't come back up when the PS3 comes back. A manual network restart is required. | 00:54 |
| u-haul | Any ideas? | 00:54 |
| Lint | bazhang, it´s plain kubuntu 12.04 | 00:54 |
| sokak_ | 1100t here, so ill keep sticking with that barxool, just found a lovely way to dd > 7z partitions before messing | 00:55 |
| u-haul | My Google-fu evades me on this one. :( | 00:55 |
| gogeta | u-haul: network conflict | 00:55 |
| zeeno | krej, so make a custom rule for update-grub2 | 00:55 |
| krej | zeeno: how do you do that? Doing things manually with grub2 has always been hard for me. | 00:55 |
| gogeta | u-haul: maybe the ps3 is not sending a dhcp request | 00:56 |
| zeeno | krej, you can probably make a copy of the rule from another edition, if you want to give up on that, you can try to edit grub.cfg directly and add the few lines needed.. | 00:56 |
| sokak_ | stupid question, with pangoline, there is actually a way to have a full hd login screen poking at grub2 with startup manager or do i have to get my hands dirty with config files manually? | 00:56 |
| gogeta | u-haul: also if you put the ps3 on a diffrent subnet they will not conflict with both on at the same time | 00:56 |
| zeeno | krej, thing is update scripts would overwrite grub.cfg.. so thats why its better to have a custom rule somewhere in /etc/grub?/ | 00:57 |
| Fyodorovna | krej, easiest way for me to look at it is with the bootscript download from here and extract to the desktop and run the command and post in a pastebin. http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ sudo bash ~/Desktop/bootinfoscript | 00:57 |
| u-haul | gogeta: Yeah, I was thinking about putting the PS3 on another subnet. | 00:57 |

| gogeta | Scarra3: umm not mutch unles you got a usbhdd with a os on it | 01:02 |
| naryfa | sokak_: maybe there's a way of setting the kms driver to your screen's resolution at bootup, I know you can also adjust the values in grub config at /etc/default/grub, then just update grub. But maybe I'm misunderstanding your need. | 01:02 |
| mrp | gogeta: know any workarounds? | 01:02 |
| the-erm | happy crash update day. | 01:02 |
| sokak_ | Scarra3, i would detach anything unneeded, backup all the data (if your home isnt yet on its own partitoon/disk) then take the plunge | 01:02 |
| krej | Fyodorovna, i just tried creating a custom rule and update-grub found that, so I'm going to go try and see if that worked. I'll be back | 01:02 |
| gogeta | mrp maybe a new version of putty | 01:03 |

| Scarra3 | And for an ATI Radeon HD 5770 I need to install fglrx right? | 01:04 |
| Logan_ | Scarra3: You don't have to. There's an open source driver that's preinstalled that works well. | 01:04 |

| jamiejackson | trying to print to a mac's printer from ubuntu. how to connect from the ubuntu side? | 01:17 |
| jamiejackson | ManuelSantana: from cli? | 01:17 |
| ManuelSantana | !ubottu die | 01:17 |
| gogeta | u-haul: thats why they fail | 01:17 |
| the-erm | ManuelSantana: I'm not sure you can assign a static ip with the network manager applet. | 01:18 |
| ManuelSantana | yes jamiejackson | 01:18 |
| Logan_ | ManuelSantana: Don't do that, please. | 01:18 |
| gogeta | u-haul: the host needs to give it a ip like 192.168.1.2 on a diffrent subnet | 01:18 |
| gridbug | Hey guys. Started the upgrade to 12.04... thought I'd cancel and download the alternative CD via torrent instead... fire up the cdromupgrade.. select no network... still wants to pull packages from the network. What am I missing? | 01:18 |
| gogeta | u-haul: with the dns of your isp on both machines | 01:18 |
| jamiejackson | ManuelSantana: i don't like setting up network interfaces from cli, but http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html | 01:18 |

| Viman | hi, I'm updating 11.10 to Precise from the NORMAL CD. The installation has hung at "restoring previously installed packages." Anyone know what to do here? | 01:19 |
| u-haul | gogeta: I don't want the PS3, nor eth0, to be goign near the internet. | 01:19 |
| gogeta | u-haul: the gateway will be the ip of the host | 01:19 |
| awwa | hi, what binary launches the HUD in unity2d? | 01:19 |
| u-haul | gogeta: It's purely for serving data to the PS3. | 01:19 |
| ManuelSantana | let's see jamiejackson | 01:19 |

| BoyBlunder | 10 things to do after install 12.04. go! | 01:19 |
| IdleOne | !ot | BoyBlunder | 01:20 |
| ubottu | BoyBlunder: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 01:20 |
| gogeta | u-haul: with with that setup they should get along | 01:20 |
| BoyBlunder | thanks IdleOne | 01:20 |
| schultza | oh lovely.... installed 12.04 and now have a error: no such partition..... at grub rescue> prompt | 01:20 |
| Bennlucky7 | 1 thing to do before install 12.04 | 01:20 |
| Lint | Viman, just cancel this step and install the grub manually | 01:20 |
| gogeta | u-haul: on the host the gateway will just be the local ip | 01:20 |
| Bennlucky7 | uninstall other os | 01:21 |
| Viman | Lint - Just like that? | 01:21 |
| BoyBlunder | schultza, can you boot to live cd? | 01:21 |
| schultza | yes | 01:21 |
| Viman | Bennlucky7: I've got no other OS innit | 01:21 |
| schultza | hang on | 01:21 |
| BoyBlunder | schultza, what does gparted say? | 01:21 |
| Bennlucky7 | Viman: me too :-D | 01:21 |
| schultza | hang on | 01:21 |
| BoyBlunder | k | 01:21 |
| ManuelSantana | very nice jamiejackson | 01:22 |
| Viman | Lint: I can't cancel the installation, unless I hard reset. Is this it? | 01:22 |
| the-erm | ManuelSantana: http://bit.ly/NbDsj apparently you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces and restart the network via /etc/init.d/networking restart | 01:22 |
| gogeta | u-haul: the easy way is to set it up like any shared host then tell ufw the ip from the ps3 it not allowed outside the network that will effectly block it from the net | 01:22 |
| ManuelSantana | There's nothing like to chat on IRC on a cold rainy night | 01:22 |
| Lint | Viman, if it HARD locked, and you cannot access the consoles, then reboot | 01:22 |
| ManuelSantana | thanks the-erm | 01:23 |
| Viman | Lint: how should I install grub afterwards? | 01:23 |
| ManuelSantana | It's raining a lot in here: La Romana, Dominican Republic. | 01:23 |
| ManuelSantana | sudo etc/hostname myhost : should change my hostname? | 01:24 |
| itaylor57 | i love bonao | 01:24 |
| ManuelSantana | sudo /etc/hostname myhost : should change my hostname? | 01:24 |
| terry_math | Dominican Republic,in central America?? | 01:24 |
| Lint | Viman, it should be already installed, just dpkg-reconfigure the latest kernel you have installed | 01:24 |
| ManuelSantana | or do I have to become too before? | 01:24 |
| BoyBlunder | ManuelSantana, sudo nano /etc/hostname | 01:24 |
| BoyBlunder | or gedit | 01:24 |
| BoyBlunder | if you're at gui | 01:24 |
| ManuelSantana | terry_math: Caribbean | 01:24 |
| Viman | Lint: thanks | 01:25 |
| ManuelSantana | BoyBlunder: but isn't there a command? | 01:25 |
| terry_math | are you a pirate??haha | 01:25 |
| the-erm | ManuelSantana: if you edit /etc/hostname I believe that will change the hostname. you can also sudo hostname <new-name> | 01:25 |
| bc`` | does anyone know how to use gpt partitioning? my 3tb drive is only showing up as 2tb, and I was told to look there, but I can't find any good reference sites on how to go about doing it | 01:25 |
| ManuelSantana | Ahh sudo hostname !! | 01:26 |
| BoyBlunder | bc``, gparted? | 01:26 |
| ManuelSantana | I'm not a pirate but I do pirate software and other stuff sometimes :) | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | ManuelSantana: you will aso need to edit /etc/hosts so that the system can resolve its hostname to 127.0.0.1 | 01:27 |
| ludwin01 | i want to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 | 01:27 |
| ActionParsnip | ManuelSantana: or sudo will not work anymore | 01:27 |
| ActionParsnip | !upgrade | ludwin01 | 01:27 |
| ubottu | ludwin01: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 01:27 |
| BoyBlunder | ludwin01, sudo apt-get install dist-upgrade | 01:28 |
| the-erm | I've never heard of gpt. | 01:28 |
| ludwin01 | thanks @ubottu | 01:28 |
| Logan_ | !thanks | ludwin01 | 01:28 |
| ubottu | ludwin01: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 01:28 |
| Logan_ | deadmund: No bots in here, please. | 01:28 |
| ManuelSantana | ActionParsnip: I dont understand what you meant | 01:28 |
| ludwin01 | nevermind | 01:29 |
| ActionParsnip | ManuelSantana: both /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts need changing together | 01:29 |
| Viman | Lint: I cannot boot my operating system. | 01:29 |
| ManuelSantana | So i just can't "sudo hostname <new hostname>"? | 01:30 |
| Viman | Lint: I don't think grub is installed | 01:30 |
| ActionParsnip | ManuelSantana: open both /etc/hosts and /etc/hosts and then make the change | 01:30 |
| Viman | any thoughts on how I can do so? | 01:30 |
| schultza | ok... gparted says ... /dev/sda3 ext4 | 01:30 |
| * ManuelSantana says: I just wanted to avoid the editing!! | 01:30 | |
| marcm | has suhosin finally been removed from Ubuntu 12.04? | 01:31 |
| gogeta | Viman: you can try to reinstall it threw the live cd | 01:31 |
| Viman | gogeta: fascinating - how? | 01:31 |
| === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|znc | ||
| ManuelSantana | BTW Opera's built-in IRC client rocks...it is what I'm using. | 01:31 |
| ManuelSantana | Thank you anyway ActionParsnip | 01:32 |
| gridbug | Hey guys - trying to do a cdromupgrade via alternative CD w/ no network and it's insisting on pulling packages from the network - any ideas why? | 01:32 |
| gogeta | Viman: !grub | 01:32 |
| gogeta | lol | 01:32 |
| nina666 | hi... im trying to setup vmware on my machine, but i get errors on compiling modules and this is the vmware log: http://pastebin.com/xsBPmbmn | 01:32 |
| Fyodorovna | !grub | Viman | 01:32 |
| ubottu | Viman: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 01:32 |
| nina666 | any ideas how to solve this issue? | 01:32 |
| gogeta | i fail at formating | 01:32 |
| gridbug | nina666: in the past, I've had to run the vmware patch.... eventually I just moved to vbox. | 01:33 |
| sk1special | okay. im having 3 issues. and im assuming theyre all tied together. im getting this error message > Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0" ; all of window menus have that windows 98 look. ie flat grey blocky ; and when i hit the workspace button while i can change workspaces i can not drap and drop windows from one to the other. | 01:33 |
| nina666 | gridbug: is vbox more compatible you mean than vmware? | 01:33 |
| gogeta | nina666: virtualbox these days is faster then vmware anyways | 01:33 |
| schultza | grub rescue issue -... i do have a /dev/sda3 for ext4 | 01:34 |
| lystra_ | Installing 12.04 on a server. The server has two disks, sda and sdb. 11.10 is already installed on sdb in VG trunks. Booted the -server ISO and selected Guided LVM setup: http://www.lystra.org/1.png. Then selected sda disk http://www.lystra.org/2.png. Why does the next screen say it will format a partition on hdb if I selected sda: http://www.lystra.org/3.png? | 01:34 |
| celthunder | nina666: virtualbox and vmware are meant for 2 different user bases | 01:34 |
| gridbug | nina666: yeah... vbox is in the repo so it doesn't require patches to keep up with the latest / greatest kernal image | 01:34 |
| zoombuggy | unity-music-daemon keeps dying with SIGSEVs, apparently it's a known bug. Should I remove it for the moment? | 01:34 |
| gridbug | nina666: vbox worked well for my uses and I didn't go back to vmware... but YMMV. | 01:34 |
| nina666 | celthunder: i only need to setup virtual machines... the job that vmware player does | 01:35 |
| gogeta | nina666: just rember the one in the repo does lack d3d and usb support if you need those get it from the website | 01:35 |
| nina666 | gridbug: i see... thanks :) | 01:35 |
| nina666 | gogeta: noted. thanks alot :) | 01:35 |
| Athanasius | Is there a hotkey for rotating the screen 90 degrees? | 01:36 |
| cute_bettong | how do you kill a zombie process? | 01:37 |
| gogeta | Athanasius: i dont think so but why | 01:37 |
| zoombuggy | cute: reboot, I suspect | 01:37 |
| cute_bettong | darn i was hopeing to avoid that | 01:37 |
| gogeta | cute_bettong: lots of ways but sudo killall prossesname | 01:38 |
| Athanasius | gogeta: because I'm using a netbook and it'd be nice to easily rotate the screen for if I want to say, have it on its side to easily display a recipe or something | 01:38 |
| arand | cute_bettong: There's often ways around it. | 01:38 |
| zoombuggy | there isn't really a way to avoid it if it's already under init's care. | 01:38 |
| cute_bettong | gogeta, would that be like sudo killall <pid>? | 01:39 |
| cute_bettong | clear | 01:39 |
| gogeta | cute_bettong: pid is just kill | 01:40 |
| aaas | Athanasius i dont suppose you have nvidia or ati in that netbook | 01:40 |
| bsmith093 | can i go from lucid to the new one straight? | 01:40 |
| gogeta | cute_bettong: like kill 19265 | 01:40 |
| Athanasius | nope, no fancy drivers :( | 01:40 |
| szal | bsmith093: that is supported, yes.. no idea on the success rate though | 01:40 |
| bsmith093 | how? | 01:40 |
| gogeta | cute_bettong: if you did killall firefox it would kill all firefox prosses | 01:41 |
| cute_bettong | gogeta, yea thats what i did but the process still remains | 01:41 |
| szal | !upgrade | bsmith093 | 01:41 |
| ubottu | bsmith093: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 01:41 |
| ManuelSantana | good night to you all! | 01:41 |
| aaas | Athanasius yeah this is usually acomplished at the video driver level, get a tablet? ;) | 01:41 |
| rinzler | installing from a tarball, and make isn't doing anything... | 01:41 |
| cute_bettong | oh never mind | 01:41 |
| cute_bettong | top diden't update XD | 01:41 |
| bsmith093 | the update manager doesnt see the new version it just sees 10.10 | 01:41 |
| ManuelSantana | see you later and thanks for your help | 01:41 |
| gogeta | cute_bettong: you try killing it with the id? | 01:41 |
| cute_bettong | gogeta, yea the process is dead now thank you ^_^ | 01:41 |
| szal | bsmith093: does your mirror already carry Precise? if not, just wait a day or two | 01:42 |
| ApocGoD | Mine does, but i'm wondering if I should upgrade yet. | 01:42 |
| gogeta | cute_bettong: oh and if its a gui app you can do it with xkill and just click the frozen app | 01:42 |
| cute_bettong | gogeta, how do i use xkill? never knew about that function | 01:43 |
| gogeta | alt f2 then xkill | 01:43 |
| ManuelSantana | version | 01:43 |
| szal | btw, any info yet as to when Maverick support will terminate? | 01:43 |
| terry_math | ManuelSantana:hello!! | 01:44 |
| ManuelSantana | hi terry_math | 01:44 |
| zoombuggy | cute_bettong: glad to know you got your process killed, i've not been successful with that. | 01:44 |
| yuri__ | Does anyone know of a good dvd authoring program for kubuntu?! :( I tried DVD Styler and it freezes half way through the render process, always. I tried that 'q'dvdauthor goodie and it wouldn't compile, I tried dvdauthor and got lost treying to make a dvd through the console. :( | 01:44 |
| zoombuggy | anyhow, bye... | 01:45 |
| sk1special | anyone know how to manually cut off xinerama in nvidia settings? instead of just using the nvidia control panel..because it doesnt actually save | 01:46 |
| rinzler | trying to install from a tarball, and make says No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. Any Ideas? | 01:46 |
| aaas | rinzler is there Makefile in the directory | 01:47 |
| hnsz | try running it with sudo | 01:47 |
| nina666 | ok.. i downloaded the vbox from the website, run it with package installer. shows this: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: lipython2.7... | 01:47 |
| the-erm | sk1special: I think if you run the nvidia control panel as root it will save, but I'm not sure. | 01:47 |
| rinzler | aaas: two different ones. different extentions... | 01:47 |
| sk1special | how do i do that? new to linux | 01:48 |
| gogeta | nina666: sounds like its not updated for 12.04 yet | 01:48 |
| nina666 | actually mine is 10.04 | 01:48 |
| Athanasius | aaas: If you'd like to contribute to my tablet fund, feel free to paypal money over to william.heimbigner@gmail.com ;) | 01:48 |
| aaas | rinzler shouldn't have an extention...read the README or the INSTALL file the process may be different | 01:48 |
| arand | cute_bettong: Normal kill might work, but the last resort is normally to attch to the parent (e.g. via gdb) and call waitpid on the child | 01:48 |
| aaas | Athanasius ahah you wish | 01:48 |
| Athanasius | also, ubuntu 12.04 on asus transformer prime would be amazing | 01:48 |
| gogeta | nina666: oh | 01:48 |
| nina666 | gogeta: and i did download the one for 10.04 | 01:48 |
| the-erm | sk1special: I wish I could tell you try going to a terminal and typing sudo nvidia<tab><tab> and see if something comes up. | 01:49 |
| rinzler | aaas: install file says "./configure, make, make install" should do it. | 01:49 |
| Pintballr9003 | has anybody seen "E: could not perform immediate configuration on 'python-minimal' during the 12.04 upgrade? I'm coming up from lucid | 01:49 |
| nina666 | gogeta: i think the lack is from my side, not vbox... how should i check my libpython | 01:49 |
| aaas | rinzler and configure finishes without hitches | 01:49 |
| aaas | rinzler what program is this | 01:49 |
| gogeta | nina666: the package manager should grait if its avable | 01:50 |
| gogeta | grab | 01:50 |
| aaas | rinzler can you send me a link to the download | 01:50 |
| rinzler | aaas: TLP II for TI calc connection... | 01:50 |
| xangua | can't get the notification in the Update Manager for upgrade to pangolin from lucid, any thing i should do¿ using main the server repository | 01:50 |
| Athanasius | meep. mkfs.ntfs on my sd card and pretty much the whole desktop locks up :< | 01:50 |
| nina666 | gogeta: and it didnt... seems like im stock in no where... :( | 01:50 |
| rinzler | aaas: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/374/37480.html | 01:50 |
| gogeta | nina666: normaly that means its looking for something not in the repos you got all of them on correect | 01:50 |
| sk1special | yeah just says command not found. hmm | 01:50 |
| nina666 | downloaded from website... could that be the reason? | 01:51 |
| nina666 | gogeta: downloaded from website... could that be the reason? | 01:51 |
| gogeta | nina666: yea i think it is it should work if it said for 10.10 | 01:52 |
| yuri__ | Does anyone know of a good dvd authoring program for kubuntu?! :( I tried DVD Styler and it freezes half way through the render process, always. I tried that 'q'dvdauthor goodie and it wouldn't compile, I tried dvdauthor and got lost treying to make a dvd through the console. :( | 01:52 |
| nina666 | gogeta, ok im downloading libpython 3.1 using kpackagekit... | 01:52 |

| ruffleS | guys there's this bug on unity where mouse cursor doesn't follow window accordingly when dragging a window out of "aerosnap maximization". i can't find the bug report on launchpad so i can +1 it | 01:53 |
| rinzler | aaas: at the end of....? | 01:53 |
| gogeta | nina666: oh it seems as for 4.0 they moved to non-free | 01:53 |
| aaas | rinzler configure | 01:53 |
| gogeta | nina666: so th one in the repos will be the same so just apt-get it :) | 01:53 |
| nina666 | gogeta: oh... still same thing... looks like it cannot handle higher versions actually | 01:54 |
| nina666 | gogeta: oki thanks ;) | 01:54 |
| jasonbourne | have a question if anyone can help.... | 01:54 |
| gogeta | nina666: even better they have there own repo you can add | 01:54 |
| rinzler | aaas: ahhh... this might do it: "configure: error: Package requirements (ticables2 >= 1.3.0) were not met" | 01:54 |
| sk1special | okay. sudo nvidia-xconfig gives me a list that lists the config backup and new x file | 01:54 |
| atealtha | anyone who is familiar with amazon AWS: the AMI for Pangolin says released two days ago before the official release date. Should I assume these are still beta and that I should wait it out? | 01:55 |

| gogeta | nina666: wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add - | 01:55 |
| gogeta | nina666: then just apt-get update | 01:55 |
| nina666 | gogeta: thanks! ;) | 01:55 |
| Jen | jasonbourne: try just asking your question, and if people are around who can answer it, you'll generally get an answer | 01:55 |
| Waraudon | I'm guessing the repository mirrors are getting hit pretty hard right now | 01:56 |
| rinzler | aaas: see if that works out. Thanks! | 01:56 |
| jasonbourne | does anyone know how to hide the sidebar in 12.04LTS? | 01:56 |

| cordoval | please tell me the steps | 01:57 |
| cordoval | I am in a try CD | 01:57 |
| sinichiro | jasonbourne, Ubuntu Tweak allows to do that among everything else | 01:58 |
| ruffleS | can anyone help me out here? i'd like to know whether or not this bug's been reported already. when you "aerosnap" a window to the sides and then try to move it out of its position window goes way bellow mouse cursor. (on ubuntu 12.04 unity) | 01:58 |
| jasonbourne | is that an add-on, sinichiro?? | 01:58 |
| cordoval | please beg you help me | 01:58 |
| Waraudon | Is it possible to change repository mirrors after installation? | 01:58 |
| gogeta | jasonbourne: i think the myunity app can tweak all the settings | 01:58 |
| gogeta | Waraudon: shure | 01:58 |
| sinichiro | no, it's a separate problem for advanced Ubuntu settings, jasonbourne | 01:58 |
| schultza | how do i fix my ubuntu installation (grub not finding partition) it's there? | 01:58 |
| Pintballr9003 | I'm in the middle of a 10.04 to 12.04 upgrade and got the same error on all four of my test machines: "Could not perform immediate configuration on 'python2.7-minimal'. Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-configure for details (2)" That section header doesn't exist. Any ideas on where to look? | 01:59 |
| Athanasius | The Kernel OOM killer went apeshit >:( | 01:59 |
| sinichiro | lol, separate "program" rather, jasonbourne | 01:59 |
| Waraudon | The US mirror is really not working at all, so I'm going to have to use a different one during installation | 01:59 |
| jasonbourne | where do I find it?? | 01:59 |
| cordoval | please help me my ubuntu 12.04 is not booting up | 01:59 |
| xangua | Can't get the notification in the Update Manager for upgrade to pangolin from lucid, any thing i should do¿ using main the server repository | 01:59 |
| gogeta | Pintballr9003: i dont think thats even in 12.04 does it kill your upgrade? | 01:59 |
| Pintballr9003 | gogeta: Yes. | 02:00 |
| ruffleS | cordoval: what's wrong? | 02:00 |
| nina666 | gogeta: the package name should be virtualbox, right? | 02:00 |
| gogeta | Pintballr9003: for me it was not installed untill i rmoved liber | 02:00 |

| quickquestion232 | is the entire ubuntu community swamped by idiots like me that ruined their computers trying to install the new edition? | 02:00 |
| cordoval | ruffleS: it does not boot | 02:00 |
| gogeta | nina666: virtualbox-4.1 | 02:00 |
| cordoval | it says something like git id unknown | 02:01 |
| szal | quickquestion232: define 'ruined', and how you went about to do so | 02:01 |
| ruffleS | cordoval: any error message appearing on your screen? | 02:01 |
| PSR_B1057 | help me with hybrid graphic card - ATI and Intel | 02:01 |
| cordoval | is there a way to fix it I am currently typing on the CD try | 02:01 |
| sinichiro | So no gameranger users at all? | 02:01 |
| cordoval | ruffleS: yes | 02:01 |
| cordoval | what i just said, git id not recognized or unknown | 02:01 |
| nina666 | gogeta: its weired.. it cannot find the package | 02:01 |
| gogeta | nina666: its virtualbox-4.1 | 02:01 |
| cordoval | while bringing the services up | 02:01 |
| quickquestion232 | szal: im working on it now, but i deleted a couple of old linux partitions and apparently one of them contained a dual boot screen that was more deeply rooted than i thought it was | 02:02 |
| nina666 | gogeta: yea, apt-get install virtualbox-4.1 | 02:02 |
| nina666 | gogeta: coudlnt find package.... | 02:02 |

| PSR_B1057 | Help needed with hybrid graphics on HP laptop - ATI and Intel | 02:02 |
| gogeta | nina666: did you apt-get update | 02:02 |
| nina666 | yes | 02:02 |
| gogeta | nina666: i say just try toinstall the deb again | 02:02 |
| szal | quickquestion232: the way you put it, that sounds like a severe case of PEBKAC ;) | 02:02 |
| ruffleS | cordoval: have you checked your image md5? that might help | 02:02 |
| nina666 | gogeta: ok :) | 02:03 |
| gogeta | nina666: with the new repo it should grab what you need | 02:03 |
| cordoval | how to do that ruffleS | 02:03 |
| quickquestion232 | lol | 02:03 |
| quickquestion232 | most likely | 02:03 |
| ruffleS | cordoval: are you on linux now? | 02:03 |
| cordoval | yes on ubuntu 10.10 32 bit version though, the cD try | 02:03 |
| quickquestion232 | it was my fault, but its messsed up regardless | 02:03 |
| nina666 | gogeta: nope.. same problem.. | 02:03 |
| quickquestion232 | ive created a larger problem, so to speak :p | 02:03 |
| cordoval | this is a 64 bit machine with 12.04 broken | 02:03 |
| ruffleS | cordoval: the command is: md5sum imagefile.iso | 02:03 |
| gogeta | nina666: humm | 02:04 |
| Pintballr9003 | gogeta: removed what? libre? | 02:04 |
| ruffleS | cordoval: you can try it then compare with official md5 on the download page | 02:04 |
| gogeta | Pintballr9003: yea python was not even installed untill i did that | 02:04 |
| cordoval | ruffleS: that is on the hard disk right? wonder how to mount the disk to do such command and where do i find that iso image | 02:04 |
| cordoval | oh so your concern is if the file downloaded it ok | 02:05 |
| Waraudon | Where is Ubuntu "loading additional components" from during installation? | 02:05 |
| cordoval | because i think the failure ruffleS happened after that | 02:05 |
| ruffleS | cordoval: vc é brasileiro, certo? vá pra o #ubuntu-br que a gente te ajuda | 02:05 |

| PSR_B1057 | any help with hybrid graphic card ? | 02:06 |
| quickquestion232 | what should i use to make a boot usb for a windows on a mac? | 02:06 |
| Pintballr9003 | Gogeta: It doesn't look like anything called libre is installed | 02:07 |
| fizk_ | yaaaay, Ubuntu 12.04! | 02:08 |
| Pintballr9003 | I'm running server edition | 02:08 |
| gogeta | nina666: humm why are you missing python | 02:08 |
| naryfa | so what's up | 02:08 |
| E3D3 | I was 'to brave' to upgrade to the Beta-version but couldn't work with it. So I waited for the RC. Will I have my good trustworthy Ubuntu back when I let Update-manager download another 700 MB ? Is that all I have to do ? 4.3-1ubuntu4 --> 4.3-1ubuntu5 ? | 02:08 |
| xangua | i can get the 10.10 notification aviable from Lucid, but when i change in Update Mnanager setting to upgrade only from LTS to LTS can't get the upgrade notification for Pangolin, whan can i do¿ | 02:08 |
| gogeta | nina666: oh you should be able to search virtualbox in your favret package manager now | 02:08 |
| gogeta | nina666: that will find it heh | 02:08 |
| nina666 | gogeta: ok maybe i should state this out here :D i am actually using backtrack as my OS... but the distro (/etc/lsb-release) is ubuntu 10.04 :D | 02:08 |
| taxman | lol | 02:08 |
| taxman | my 12.04 works | 02:09 |
| gogeta | nina666: heh | 02:09 |
| Waraudon | Welp, that answers my question. apparently it uses the package mirror if an Internet connection is available. Of course, I'm getting a read error from my USB drive :/ | 02:09 |
| nina666 | gogeta: :D | 02:09 |
| CaptainKnots | hey, I have both firefox and chromium installed on 12.04 and I'm not getting an indicator for either one on the unity launcher | 02:09 |
| === chris__0076 is now known as chris_0076 | ||
| Pintballr9003 | nina666: backtrack is hardened and customized, I would go to the remote-exploit IRC channel and ask there | 02:10 |
| gogeta | CaptainKnots: mine was incis untill reboot | 02:10 |
| allure | hi... I'm trying to update to 12.04, but I've set some packages to "hold" and can't remember which ones... I have to unset them before updating, but how do I find out which ones are on hold? | 02:10 |
| gogeta | invis | 02:10 |
| nina666 | Pintballr9003: the problem is that channel is not active and i got no responses... since /etc/lsb-release gives ubuntu, figured i can ask here.. | 02:11 |
| naryfa | allure: how about synaptic | 02:11 |
| naryfa | allure: it won't show? | 02:11 |
| naryfa | allure: under upgradable | 02:11 |
| allure | naryfa: hmmm I never use synaptic, so I don't know. Normally use apt-get or aptitude.. will check, 1 min :) | 02:11 |
| Viman | Hello I'm trying to reinstall grub as described in the documentation, but it doesn't seem to work. Can anybody help me? | 02:11 |

| Pintballr9003 | gogeta: The only application installed on these boxes is paraview, they are part of a visualization cluster running 10.04 server edition. | 02:12 |
| === Pintballr9003 is now known as Paintballr9003 | ||

| PSR_B1057 | ATI drivers not being installed on hybrid graphic card on HP laptop.. Hybrid Cards - ATI and Intel. All that works is Intel and ATI does not. Any suggestions ? | 02:13 |
| gogeta | PSR_B1057: turn off intel in bios if possable if not you will need to blacklist it temp | 02:14 |
| gogeta | PSR_B1057: so it will only use the ati | 02:14 |
| Paintballr9003 | gogeta: The Following packages will be upgraded: <snip> python-minimal <bunch of other python packages> | 02:15 |
| gogeta | PSR_B1057: hybred switching does not work yet | 02:15 |
| schultza | apparently i should go back one edition until 12.04 works on install | 02:15 |
| gogeta | Paintballr9003: well if your using a diffrent miror maybe it lacks it | 02:15 |
| taxman | i am using 12.04. it's hot as a pizza | 02:15 |
| PSR_B1057 | @gogeta: I had tried this on suse and debian. Now i have started using ubuntu but I am afraid it would end up like it did on other distros | 02:15 |
| gogeta | Paintballr9003: thats known to happon | 02:15 |
| schultza | taxman, yes... it's brand new | 02:16 |
| gogeta | PSR_B1057: if you blacklist the intel it hould load the ati | 02:16 |
| gogeta | load | 02:16 |
| schultza | taxman: but im having problems installing it and having it boot right after | 02:16 |
| Fyodorovna | Viman, what are you booted to now? | 02:16 |
| Viman | LiveCD | 02:16 |
| Viman | PP | 02:16 |
| Paintballr9003 | gogeta: Good Point, I think we are pointed at one of the other university's repo's thats on Internet2 for speed. I'll try pointing one back at canonical | 02:16 |
| PSR_B1057 | gogeta: should i first install ati catalyst or fglrx ? | 02:16 |
| taxman | lol, i downloaded this baby as soon as it's released | 02:16 |
| Fyodorovna | Viman, of? tell me exactly | 02:17 |
| Viman | The PP LiveCD (12.04) | 02:17 |
| gogeta | PSR_B1057: they probly will not install | 02:17 |
| gogeta | PSR_B1057: the oss driver should get you up and running well enough | 02:17 |
| PSR_B1057 | gogeta: without drivers how is ati suppose to work ? | 02:17 |
| PSR_B1057 | ok | 02:17 |
| Fyodorovna | Viman, follow the chroot here it defaults to. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot | 02:18 |
| gogeta | PSR_B1057: pretty mutch all ati cards have open source drivers now | 02:18 |
| PSR_B1057 | 5xxx series | 02:18 |
| gogeta | PSR_B1057: defently | 02:18 |
| gogeta | PSR_B1057: once you on th ati cardthe driver should install | 02:19 |
| gogeta | the | 02:19 |
| PSR_B1057 | gogeta: so, the only thing i need to do is blacklist intel. | 02:19 |
| gogeta | PSR_B1057: switching will ned to be done by hand | 02:19 |
| gogeta | need | 02:19 |
| gogeta | PSR_B1057: yea that should force it to load the ati in its place | 02:19 |
| PSR_B1057 | gogeta: can you explain a little since i am pretty new to linux | 02:19 |
| gogeta | PSR_B1057: linux load the first card it sees | 02:20 |
| Paintballr9003 | PSR_B1057: it'll be a setting in your BIOS | 02:20 |
| Paintballr9003 | to disable the intel card | 02:20 |
| gogeta | PSR_B1057: yea if you can turn it off in bios you can skip all this | 02:20 |
| gogeta | Paintballr9003: dunno if those laptops let you do that | 02:21 |
| cfedde | where can I find iso's for old versions? I need to update some abandon ware from systems as old as 8.04 | 02:21 |
| sinichiro | Okay, should I uninstall an older version of wine before installing a newer one through ppa? | 02:21 |
| gogeta | cfedde: why not just update em all | 02:21 |
| ripps | Has anyone written an extension for Gnome3 that intergrates Unity's HUD? | 02:21 |
| cfedde | gogeta: exactly. I seem to need sources to do int. | 02:22 |
| cfedde | gogeta: or is there another way? | 02:22 |
| cfedde | s/sources/isos | 02:22 |
| gogeta | cfedde: well there is some legicy repos but upgrading them like that probly will fail | 02:22 |
| Sysss | hi | 02:23 |
| Sysss | I want to sell a program !!!! | 02:23 |
| Waraudon | Why do I keep failing the integrity test on the same file | 02:23 |
| gogeta | cfedde: the alt cds can be used as upgrade cds | 02:23 |
| gogeta | cfedde: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ | 02:23 |
| cfedde | gogeta: awesome! | 02:23 |
| cfedde | thanks | 02:23 |

| ^Mike | When I try to upgrade, I'm getting "pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages." Of the 3 causes listed, the most likely is probably "Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu" -- how can I get a list of such packages? | 02:24 |
| delinquentme | how do AWK and SED differ? | 02:24 |
| Waraudon | I already verified that my ISO is not corrupt | 02:24 |
| gogeta | cfedde: you can go from lts to lts | 02:24 |
| Fyodorovna | what is the hud keys | 02:24 |
| gogeta | cfedde: so you dont need every ver up to 12.04 | 02:24 |
| cfedde | gogeta: that seems like the best approach. | 02:24 |
| vespakoen | Hey guys, does anyone know the CLI command for the System Configuration ? | 02:25 |
| ikt | Fyodorovna, it's alt | 02:25 |
| gogeta | cfedde: so those 8.04 can go to 10.04 to 12.04 | 02:25 |
| cfedde | gogeta: thanks again. | 02:25 |
| gogeta | cfedde: if they dont all blow up lol | 02:25 |
| schultza | Fyodorovna: thanks for the grub help... my installation is working now... not sure if viman got his working | 02:25 |
| hashbrowncipher | vespakoen: are you talking about "gnome-control-center" ? | 02:25 |
| cfedde | gogeta: heh. at least these are all vms so I can snapshot easily. | 02:25 |
| vespakoen | Hawsome! Hash =) | 02:26 |
| archangelokc | hey I"m having a problem with my mouse in 12.04 | 02:26 |
| gogeta | cfedde: why not skip all that fresh install em all | 02:26 |
| cfedde | gogeta: fear mostly. | 02:26 |
| vespakoen | i am on xmonad, need figure this out again =P | 02:26 |
| cfedde | and the apps they are running | 02:26 |
| gogeta | cfedde: cant they be reinstalled | 02:26 |
| Fyodorovna | schultza, no problem the gui helpers like bot repair are okay but but their idiosyncrasies. | 02:27 |
| cfedde | gogeta: sure. | 02:27 |
| sinedeviance | so is anyone using x/k/ubuntu 12.04 in a production environment yet? | 02:27 |
| Viman | Fyodorovna: I'm not quite done, step 11 fails for me. | 02:27 |
| cfedde | gogeta: I suppose part of what I'm doing is procrastination. | 02:27 |
| DeathTorrent | is anyone else having a scrolling problem in 12.04? | 02:27 |
| Viman | Fyodorovna: I cannot perform grub-install in the chrooted system | 02:27 |
| gogeta | cfedde: or cheat if there vms | 02:28 |
| dforthman | DeathTorrent, define 'scrolling problem' | 02:28 |
| gogeta | cfedde: just make a new vm and copy it over | 02:28 |
| zykotick9 | Viman: did you mount proc and the other stuff before chrooting? | 02:28 |
| schultza | for those with the ati/amd graphics card... do we install the fglrx driver or the fglrx (post-release updates)? | 02:28 |
| gogeta | cfedde: with the apps | 02:28 |
| DeathTorrent | well, my scrolling seems to somehow have become....inverted :/ I scroll the wheel down and the window scrolls up, and vice-cersa | 02:28 |
| DeathTorrent | *versa | 02:28 |
| Fyodorovna | Viman, is this a standard mbr setup? | 02:28 |
| Viman | Fyodorovna: step 7? yes | 02:28 |
| gogeta | cfedde: you can make a custom installer with the apps you whant oem style | 02:28 |
| dforthman | DeathTorrent, that's definately odd. I use a trackball with no scroll wheel, so I couldn't tell you if mine was acting up or not. | 02:29 |
| cfedde | gogeta: that might be the right approach. | 02:29 |
| gogeta | cfedde: so your vm users will just need to set there user and pass | 02:29 |
| Viman | Fyodorovna: no, what happened was that Precise's intallation hung in the last bits, forcing me to reboot. I cannot boot the system, and someone suggested me to reinstall grub | 02:29 |
| DeathTorrent | I've seen similar issues on the forums, but for scrolling right to left, not up and down | 02:29 |
| Waraudon | Has anyone manged to install 12.04 from a USB stick? | 02:29 |
| gogeta | cfedde: with the oem install image just send it to all the vms one install multi vms | 02:30 |
| sinedeviance | Waraudon: that's easy. use the easy usb creator. | 02:30 |
| dforthman | Waraudon, I've seen people say they were able to. | 02:30 |
| hashbrowncipher | DeathTorrent: I don't know why you are having that issue, but you can probably just change your X11 settings around and reverse it | 02:30 |
| hashbrowncipher | check this article, maybe: http://onethingwell.org/post/8779215052/reverse-scrolling-x11 | 02:30 |
| DeathTorrent | ty hashbrowncipher | 02:30 |
| cfedde | gogeta: indeed. | 02:30 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance, dforthman, no matter which utility I use, if I use the integrity check, it fails on the same file every time. I already hashed and verified the ISO | 02:30 |
| jsubl2 | does the 64bit install support efi boot and gpt partitions | 02:31 |
| sinedeviance | Waraudon: download the .iso again. | 02:31 |
| Fyodorovna | Viman, I wonder if it is more broken then just reinstalling grub will fix. With grub problems I defer to using the bootscript to see whats really going on with some stuff, wont confirm whether grub will actually work though. | 02:31 |
| gogeta | cfedde: thats how i did it but with real boxes | 02:31 |
| sinedeviance | Waraudon: also, check your disk for errors afterward. | 02:31 |
| PSR_B1057 | gogeta: i tried blacklisting the Intel card but still the Intel card is loaded | 02:31 |
| gogeta | PSR_B1057: you try in bios | 02:31 |
| Waraudon | Hopefully my USB stick isn't dying, the server doesn't have an optical drive in it | 02:32 |
| Loshki | sinedeviance: personally, I'd wait a least 3 months after an LTS goes out before I'd even consider declaring it stable, depending on how the feedback goes.... | 02:32 |

| gogeta | Loshki: other then some upgrade isssue its pretty darn solid | 02:32 |
| gogeta | Loshki: nobody in hear going this is horribly wrong or broken | 02:32 |
| zykotick9 | With an apt-cacher-ng proxy and the mini.iso (aka netinstall), I get "bad proxy" after entering the address. from the busy box terminal the ip reports alive. | 02:33 |

| szal | gogeta: what do you expect not even 24 hours after release? wait a few days, and reports will pop up ;) | 02:33 |
| dforthman | 14 hours after release* | 02:33 |
| sinedeviance | we wouldn't be upgrading too. all of them would be clean reinstalls | 02:34 |

| sinedeviance | Waraudon: if it's a windows machine, yes. chkdsk /r | 02:34 |
| Viman | Hello, my Update to Precise failed in the last step (removing previous packages) and now the system won't boot. Does anybody have a similar situation? | 02:34 |
| sinedeviance | Waraudon: if it's a linux machine, do fsck.ext4 (or whatever ext version you use) on your disk. | 02:35 |
| gogeta | cfedde: heh thats why i say fressh | 02:35 |
| x3oo | hi, how do i see which video driver is loaded? | 02:35 |
| Loshki | sinedeviance: gogeta: that's all great news so far, but sinedeviance asked about 'production', and that used to be a pretty high bar... | 02:35 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance: it's Windows 7, and FAT32 | 02:35 |
| sinedeviance | Waraudon: FAT32? wtf? why not NTFS? | 02:35 |
| gogeta | Loshki: its alot faster and not crash and unity does not make me sick | 02:35 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance: Every utility formats the stick as FAT32 | 02:35 |
| gogeta | Loshki: if thats the question | 02:35 |
| cfedde | gogeta: the group I joined has a pile of custom boxes installed with ubuntu de Jure over a period of say 6 years. | 02:36 |
| sinedeviance | Waraudon: wait, you mean your USB stick. it's the one that is not passing checksums? i thought the .iso wasn't? | 02:36 |
| psusi | jsubl2, yes, efi and gpt are supported | 02:36 |
| cfedde | step 1 p2v | 02:36 |
| jsubl2 | thanks psusi | 02:36 |
| sinedeviance | Loshki, gogeta: well, i'm going to evaluate all three releases and we'll probably roll in whatever works best later this week | 02:36 |
| gogeta | cfedde: i say custom installer in oem mode so your users can set there pass after with there apps set preinstalled | 02:36 |
| FlimFlamMan | my upgrade attempt was derailed by xmind, package description in /var/lib/dpkg/status and /var/lib/dpkg/available had blank lines. | 02:36 |

| cfedde | gogeta: I agree. | 02:37 |
| gogeta | cfedde: then mass eatherboot em | 02:37 |
| Loshki | cfedde: may I pm you? | 02:37 |
| cfedde | gogeta: thanks for the advice | 02:37 |
| cfedde | Loshki: why> | 02:37 |

| PSR_B1057 | gogeta: I don't have any option in BIOS to disable Intel. | 02:37 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance: From one on the stick, I assume, I don't have an Internet connection during install since it takes too long | 02:37 |
| sinedeviance | Waraudon: gotcha. this isn't the netinstall server image right | 02:38 |
| sinedeviance | ? | 02:38 |

| Waraudon | sinedeviance: Nope, it's the full ISO | 02:38 |
| cfedde | Loshki: sure | 02:38 |
| cfedde | e | 02:38 |
| sinedeviance | Waraudon: okay. in that case, try re-downloading the iso image. chances are it could be a bad source media. | 02:38 |
| rbik | what python version should I use if I want to manipulate the terminal in Ubuntu 11.10?? | 02:38 |
| sinedeviance | Waraudon: i recommend the torrent version. | 02:38 |
| ^Mike | How can I get a list of "Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu" (which seem to be blocking my upgrade path)? | 02:39 |
| gogeta | Waraudon: first week the main repo always goes down | 02:39 |
| sinedeviance | torrents will almost always download a complete file correctly, regardless of internet problems. and even if a chunk is bad, it can re-download that chunk on the fly. | 02:39 |
| PSR_B1057 | gogeta: sad man :| hope there is someone who can help me out with this isseu | 02:39 |
| PSR_B1057 | issue | 02:39 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance: Could that even be possible? I hashed and verified the ISO already | 02:39 |
| gogeta | MikeN_: it should ask if you wanna remove them just say yes | 02:39 |
| sinedeviance | Waraudon: in that case it is unlikely, but not impossible. still, it's probably NOT the .iso at fault. | 02:39 |
| killown | any chance to clone the gnome shell behavior as super + w does for unity? I'd like to bind super+w to work when the mouse cursor moves to the left edge | 02:39 |
| sinedeviance | Waraudon: you're positive the stick is good? have you tried re-creating the stick with univ. usb creator? does it fail on the same file every time? | 02:40 |
| gogeta | MikeN_: it just removes those repos not the packages themselfs | 02:40 |
| ^Mike | gogeta: Were you talking to me? No, it doesn't ask if I'd like to remove them, there is just a close button, and then cdromupgrade exits | 02:40 |
| gogeta | MikeN_: :( | 02:40 |
| ^Mike | gogeta: my exact reaction | 02:40 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance: Yes and yes, it fails on the same file every time. ./pool/main/l/linux/fs-secondary-modules-3.2.0-23-generic-pae-di_3.2.0-23.36_i386.udeb | 02:41 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance: It fails during the "Load installer components from CD" stage | 02:41 |
| sinedeviance | already found one mark against xubuntu 12.04; it has the same annoying "The folder cannot be opened" bug that 11.10 had. yeah, xubuntu is not ready yet. | 02:41 |
| Paintballr9003 | Gogeta: moving back to canonical's mirrors ends in the same error, but further research reveals that the servers are still running 2.6 and are trying to upgrade to 2.7 with the move to 12.04 | 02:41 |
| martian | Is there any way to prevent yourself from accidentlly issuing the -r flag for crontab when you mean to issue -e? | 02:41 |
| sinedeviance | Waraudon: so you're running i386 on a 64-bit system? | 02:41 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance: i386 on an older machine that isn't 64-bit | 02:41 |
| gogeta | Paintballr9003: yea mirror death | 02:42 |
| sinedeviance | Waraudon: then anything related to the PAE kernel should not be installed. | 02:42 |
| xangua | I can't get the 'new release aviable' popup from Update Manager on Lucid to upgrade to Pangolin, i have installed all lucid updates and in the preferences is set to upgrade to LTS, whan can I do¿ | 02:42 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance: I'm not sure why it's loading that package, but it happens long before package selection | 02:42 |
| sinedeviance | Waraudon: PAE is for i368 systems to use more than 4GB of memory on x64 systems. it's also being phased out for this release. | 02:42 |
| gogeta | Paintballr9003: always a good idea to do this a week before hand many peopel dont relise they upgrade all beta to stabel in that time frame | 02:42 |
| Renard | Hello there | 02:42 |
| sinedeviance | Waraudon: i have absolutely no clue. sorry man :( | 02:42 |
| sinedeviance | that package should not be loaded | 02:43 |
| Renard | I'm trying to live stream my desktop from xvidcap to a rtmp:// stream | 02:43 |
| psusi | sinedeviance, pae has nothing to do with x64, it was for 32 bit systems to use more than 4gb of ram... if your cpu is 64 bit capable, you may as well use the 64 bit build | 02:43 |
| Renard | Anyone knows how this work? | 02:43 |
| ActionParsnip | xangua: could grab the alternate Precuise ISO and upgrade using that. | 02:43 |
| Renard | Also, xvidcap removed from 12.04 makes me a sad Renard | 02:44 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance: I guess the only thing I can do is hook the Internet connection up and let it use the mirror, it's going to be so slow though | 02:44 |
| sinedeviance | psusi: yes, i just said that. but he's running i386 server on i386 hardware. that's why it makes no sense; his system doesn't NEED pae. | 02:44 |
| xangua | ActionParsnip: then i'll have to wait untill tomorrow, don't have an cd's D: thanks | 02:44 |
| Trel | Got a question, I need to edit the grub menu to manually add an entry, in Ubuntu 11 server, where is that stored? I don't seem to have a /boot/grub/menu.lst | 02:44 |

| ActionParsnip | alusion: logitech hates linux | 02:46 |

| gogeta | ActionParsnip: must not hate it to mutch all my stuff works | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | xangua: yes, you need the alternate ISO, you can then mount it using: sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/iso | 02:47 |
| sfears | you add custom entries to the 40_custom file. you can edit the /boot/grub/grub.cfg, but it will be overwritten eveytime grub probes | 02:47 |
| sfears | Trel: | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | gogeta: they refuse to support the OS, the community may have made drivers however | 02:47 |
| Trel | How often does grub probe, just when I call update-grub? | 02:47 |
| Trel | I only need a one time entry | 02:48 |

| Renard | ActionParsnip, thanks for the head up | 02:48 |
| gogeta | ActionParsnip: but there nothing fancy so | 02:48 |
| psusi | sinedeviance, if he has 4gb of ram he does | 02:48 |
| Fyodorovna | Trel, can't you add it to the kernel at grub? | 02:48 |

| === Guest80170 is now known as juicy | ||

| hash | so i have a question im running ubuntu 11.10 and when i start up it give me the option for ubuntu 2d and ubuntu | 02:49 |
| sinedeviance | psusi: it said it was older hardware so that's doubtful | 02:49 |
| ActionParsnip | gogeta: likely, one of the fancy ones with all the weird stuff probably won't have half the stuff working | 02:49 |
| edinny | ActionParsnip: so it does not look at my browser to determine how many bits my processor is? | 02:49 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance: I think I found a problem | 02:50 |
| Renard | ffmpeg / command line do not allow to resize the grabbed aera | 02:50 |
| psusi | edinny, no... you have to choose to download the 64 bit version if you want/need it | 02:50 |
| uw | just came here to say: boooo ubuntu for not going back to Gnome | 02:50 |
| edinny | thanks | 02:50 |
| ActionParsnip | edinny: 32bit OS will run on 64bit CPU, so if you advise 32bit for those whom are not so PC literate it will be a hit each time :) | 02:50 |
| gogeta | edinny: if you dont have more then 3gb of ram its not relly going to matter | 02:50 |
| hash | when in ubuntu 2d i have a side bar and a power button wireless signal ect and in ubuntu i dont have any of that | 02:50 |
| Renard | Windows users are expected to use Adobe Media Encoder | 02:50 |
| ActionParsnip | edinny: you may not be downloading for the you are accessing the site with | 02:50 |
| ActionParsnip | hash: because 2d rocks \m/ | 02:51 |
| gogeta | edinny: but if you knoe what prosser it is we can tell you. eg all core are 64 but as well as all i serise | 02:51 |
| hash | yeah but i cant use cube in 2d | 02:51 |
| edinny | gogeta: I have 4 gigs, so it matters? | 02:51 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance: ./pool/main/l/linux/fs-secondary-modules-3.2.0-23-generic-pae-di_3.2.0-23.36_i386.udeb is what the integrity check fails on. The file is named incorrectly in the ISO. It ends in *.ude, not *.udeb | 02:51 |
| waterson | i'm having trouble updating from us.archive.ubuntu.com; i'm guessing this is a server load issue because precise shipped? | 02:51 |
| r3dhat | hi...I tried installing oracle java from a ppa. the install failed due to a bad tarball checksum, and now even when I remove the ppa, the package still errors every time I run an apt transaction. Even after I run autoclean and clean it still persists | 02:51 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance: Renaming it fixes the failure during loading | 02:51 |
| sinedeviance | Waraudon: ahh... wow. i think the universal usb creator did something wrong | 02:51 |
| enzotib | hi, in LXTerminal (from 12.04), when I hit Shift-Ctrl-C it copies the selected region, but also interprets it as interrupt. It was not so in 11.10. Maybe a different configuration from my part, but where to look for? | 02:51 |
| ki4ro | I've been using 12.04 Beta and applying all updates sent in my direction...do I still to upgrade to 12.04 or am I there? | 02:51 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance: I dunno, it happened with every utility. | 02:52 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance: I'll check the actual ISO | 02:52 |
| gogeta | edinny: if you do lshw and pastbin it we can tell you | 02:52 |
| gogeta | edinny: that will tell us aought all your hardware | 02:52 |
| hash | ive also noticed a couple software differences | 02:52 |
| gogeta | edinny: sudo lshw | 02:52 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance: It's wrong in the ISO too | 02:52 |
| OerHeks | r3dhat, use ppa-purge to undo the install | 02:52 |
| usr13 | how do I tell the update manager not to update mozilla-firefox any more? | 02:52 |
| jvegiard | Hi everyone. I'm looking to installing Grub2 as boot loader on my Macbook 2,1 to start installing 12.04. Why I want to do this, because my superdrive is broken and Apple doesn't allow to boot legacy Oses from external devices. Ant advice will be appreciated. :) | 02:53 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance: firewire-core-modules also ends in *.ude | 02:53 |
| psusi | edinny, if the system is less than a few years old and has 4gb of ram, I would go with the 64 bit version... then again, I've been running 64 bit since 2006 | 02:53 |
| jvegiard | Any* | 02:53 |

| Waraudon | I'm assuming this is some kind of mistake or bug | 02:54 |
| enzotib | in LXTerminal (from 12.04), when I hit Shift-Ctrl-C it copies the selected region, but also interprets it as interrupt. It was not so in 11.10. Maybe a different configuration from my part, but where to look for? | 02:54 |
| sinedeviance | Waraudon: most likely, yeah. i doubt your system has anything to do with it. | 02:54 |
| ActionParsnip | edinny: you can use PAE in 32bit and access up to 64Gb RAM in 32bit | 02:54 |
| gogeta | edinny: see i scrolled up around the top and it told me i have a product: AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3200+ thats 32bit | 02:54 |
| ki4ro | I've been using 12.04 Beta and applying all updates sent in my direction...do I still to upgrade to 12.04 or am I there? | 02:54 |
| jvegiard | Thks but I already tried and like I said, my superdrive is broken so i'm using and external firewire dvd | 02:55 |
| Fyodorovna | ki4ro, your there. | 02:55 |
| sinedeviance | hmm, so i'm thinking ubuntu with gnome classic. seems to work pretty good. i havent tested kubuntu yet though, so we'll see; still, i don't care much for kde 4.x so it'll probably be ubuntu. | 02:55 |
| edinny | gogeta: I have the same semporon | 02:55 |
| gogeta | edinny: your 32bit | 02:55 |
| ki4ro | Fyodorovna: Thanks...I thought I probably was...save the server some work tonight smile | 02:55 |
| edinny | gogeta: I have a 64 bit processor | 02:56 |
| gogeta | edinny: a 3200+ is not 64bit | 02:56 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance: Seems like a pretty big problem though, maybe my system just exposed it for some reason. Is there any method to push out an updated ISO if necessary? | 02:56 |
| sinedeviance | Waraudon: i don't work on the ubuntu team so it's out of my hands. sorry :( | 02:56 |
| sinedeviance | Waraudon: the best you can do is file a bug report. | 02:56 |
| Fyodorovna | ki4ro, yeah, I'm seeding low pull rate though. | 02:56 |
| delinquentme | whats the ubuntu tool to insert text at the end of a file? | 02:56 |
| delinquentme | command line command | 02:56 |
| gogeta | edinny: its not even dual core | 02:57 |
| ki4ro | Fyodorovna: Not my fault smile | 02:57 |
| dr_willis | delinquentme: several ways. cat . echo. sed. awk | 02:57 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance: I might have to if nobody else has discovered it yet. Is *.ude even a valid package extension? It seems there's either *.deb or *.udeb files | 02:57 |
| jvegiard | sfears: Thks but I already tried and like I said, my superdrive is broken so i'm using and external firewire dvd | 02:58 |
| gogeta | edinny: but with 4gb ram 32bit will work fine for you anything over would need some mods | 02:58 |
| edinny | thanks bye | 02:58 |
| psusi | gogeta, edinny, according to this, it depends on which model you have: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Sempron_microprocessors | 02:58 |
| sinedeviance | okay what the crap. gnome-classic looks messed up for some reason now :D | 02:58 |
| ludlow | Hows is 12.04 everyone? | 02:59 |
| plustax | ugh | 02:59 |
| sinedeviance | ludlow: just like 11.10 so far. | 02:59 |
| plustax | ludlow, im not a fan | 02:59 |
| ki4ro | ludlow: Good here in WV | 02:59 |
| delinquentme | dr_willis, i've seen cat used b efore .. whats the simple cat command to do that? | 02:59 |
| plustax | 10.10 dtw | 02:59 |
| plustax | ftw I mean | 02:59 |
| Endafy | anybody else having issues with Unity | 02:59 |
| ludlow | Worth upgrading to 12.04? | 02:59 |
| massivehole | I just installed 12.04 and my ethernet connection is not working out of the box!!! | 02:59 |
| plustax | yeah. | 02:59 |
| sinedeviance | hmm so it's only gnome-classic with effects that looks messed up | 02:59 |
| gogeta | psusi: relly a 64 bit septron i didnt think that started untill the x2 serise | 03:00 |
| plustax | try installing gnome 3 Endafy | 03:00 |
| Endafy | ludlow, in my experiences not yet | 03:00 |
| ludlow | Endafy, doh. | 03:00 |
| Endafy | plustax, ill just use Kubuntu | 03:00 |
| dr_willis | delinquentme: use it in combo with the output redirection. or make 2files and cat into a third | 03:00 |
| ActionParsnip | sinedeviance: did you MD5 test the ISO you used? | 03:00 |
| Endafy | the new unity is too broken | 03:00 |
| ludlow | will apt-get dist-upgrade give me 12.04? | 03:00 |
| psusi | gogeta, according to that link, there were two different sempron 3200+ part numbers, one supports 64 bit | 03:00 |
| plustax | Endafy, 10.10 if you want effects. Most stable OS in existence. | 03:00 |
| Waraudon | sinedeviance: It seems the install is going to finish successfully, I'll reboot and make sure everything actually works. I also forgot to make a partition for Squid, so I'm going to have to reinstall anyway | 03:00 |
| gogeta | psusi: well yea the 3200 x2 | 03:00 |
| ActionParsnip | ludlow: no, its more involved | 03:00 |

| ActionParsnip | psusi: I have a sempron 3000+, runs awesome | 03:01 |
| ludlow | ActionParsnip, thanks | 03:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Taar779_: can you ssh ok? | 03:01 |
| plustax | I just got me a new laptop today. Asus. 8 gigs of ram and a 4400mb processor | 03:01 |
| gogeta | ActionParsnip: heck yea forever old still goes | 03:01 |
| Taar779_ | ActionParsnip, that is correct. | 03:02 |
| psusi | I guess those are getting fairly old now... I got an Athlon 64 3200+ back around when 6.06 came out | 03:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Taar779_: which clients have you tried? | 03:02 |
| gogeta | psusi: yea thats the 64 bit ones | 03:02 |
| sinedeviance | okay so ubuntu still sucks (thanks unity.) | 03:03 |
| sinedeviance | kubutnu time. | 03:03 |
| gogeta | sinedeviance: hua | 03:03 |
| sinedeviance | kubuntu even. | 03:03 |
| dr_willis | no unity ussues here. | 03:04 |
| gogeta | sinedeviance: how is it sucking | 03:04 |
| gogeta | sinedeviance: its responsiv and snappy for me | 03:04 |
| psusi | then I went to athlon 64 x4 5000+, and now quad core core2 duo @ 3.4 GHz | 03:04 |
| Taar779_ | ActionParsnip, filezilla (with a key and with a password) and on my laptop with the sftp command. both say the connection times out | 03:04 |
| dr_willis | go old school with lubuntu. ;) | 03:04 |
| erujolc | in previous version of Ubuntu I have disable Nvidia Optimus at the BIOS level leaving my Acer i5 timeline to use integrated intel graphic chipset, I this for battery life and because of some reports of crashing, has things now improved with 12.04 that its a safe bet to re-enable (i dont play games or do video editing)? | 03:04 |
| sinedeviance | gogeta: unity sucks (still) and so does gnome-classic (there's not even a system tray ffs!) | 03:05 |
| gogeta | dr_willis: unity use to choke and die on my little netbook now its fast didnt even put lubuntu back | 03:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Taar779_: how about if you allow password connection, is it ok? | 03:05 |
| gogeta | sinedeviance: lo,l you just have to turn it on | 03:05 |
| sinedeviance | i'm sorry, but canonical did take a huge step back when they introduced unity. i dont like it, nobody in our company likes it, which is why we've been using xubuntu for the last two years | 03:05 |
| sinedeviance | at least xubuntu is sane. | 03:05 |
| gogeta | sinedeviance: install the app called myunity | 03:05 |
| dr_willis | erujolc: try it and see. | 03:05 |
| psusi | Unity runs fine on my 1 GHz celleron netbook... my cell phone has a faster cpu | 03:05 |
| ki4ro | sinedeviance: If you're so disappointed why do you use it? | 03:06 |
| sinedeviance | gogeta: i have to install this on 25 machines. i dont have time to do post-config, frankly, i shouldn't need to for a "world class operating system" | 03:06 |
| erujolc | dr_willis, fair point | 03:06 |
| sinedeviance | ki4ro: we don't. that's exactly the point. | 03:06 |
| dr_willis | !oem | 03:06 |
| gogeta | sinedeviance: fair point i xubuntu or lubuntu for you | 03:06 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 03:06 |
| ki4ro | sinedeviance: So why are you here? Just busting ubuntu's chops or ??? | 03:06 |
| sinedeviance | gogeta: i turned unity off. how would myunity help? | 03:06 |
| erujolc | sinedeviance, you should have a way to do post-config, even if its as something as basic as fabric, especially if you manage 25 workstations | 03:07 |
| Taar779_ | ActionParsnip, yeah turned that on since I'm trying to get my laptop setup with a key. Though now its saying: Recieved message to long (that's from the sftp command) | 03:07 |
| project_tab | whenever i vnc into my ubuntu desktop the host machine asks me to enter a password to confirm/allow the connection. it's a real pain in the butt, only i cant figure out where to allow it to connect without the password. | 03:07 |
| sinedeviance | ki4ro: ubuntu is also kubuntu and xubuntu. those are fine in my opinion, if a little rough around the edges. | 03:07 |
| gogeta | sinedeviance: myunity can change how unity works turn on desktop icons menubars and so on | 03:07 |
| project_tab | it means that i always have to have a monitor hooked up. not very convienent. | 03:07 |
| MiztaW | Haven't tried yet, but just downloading right now... I'm excited. I love the workflow of unity | 03:07 |
| project_tab | can anyone tell me where to disable that requirement for the password? | 03:07 |
| gogeta | sinedeviance: tweak it to your likeing | 03:07 |
| ki4ro | MYUNITY is very helpful and pretty straight forward | 03:07 |
| sinedeviance | ki4ro: my company has been running on ubuntu derivatives (and servers) for the past two years. the only thing i have against ubuntu is unity. | 03:08 |
| dforthman | sorry. i went to the restroom. did we determine if gogeta's cpu was 64-bit? | 03:08 |
| sinedeviance | gogeta: i'll try that then, thanks | 03:08 |
| ki4ro | sinedeviance: I see. Can't use gnome? | 03:08 |
| sinedeviance | ki4ro: i would if 2.x was still an option. that's why we're running xubuntu -- it sticks to the old ways, which actually did work fine | 03:09 |
| gogeta | dforthman: some where yes but they where athlon64 not septrons | 03:09 |
| erujolc | is it possible to choose the monitor to mount the sidebar on unity yet? also if I mount the sidebar to external 2nd monitor, and then disconnect it, will it automatically shuffle back to other screen, in 12.04b1 it fail on nearly all scenarios | 03:09 |
| kwtm2 | What's the channel to ask when 12.04 is coming out? #plusoneUbuntu or something like that. | 03:09 |
| dforthman | gogeta, this will tell you if it's 32 or 64-bit: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep clflush\ size | 03:09 |
| ki4ro | sinedeviance: I see, well good luck with it...I'm you'll sort it out | 03:09 |
| erujolc | downloading 12.04release now but if any experience eager to know | 03:09 |
| sinedeviance | ki4ro: i would just go with xubuntu again but xubuntu 11.10 had some annoying bugs that still aren't fixed in 12.04. so that's no longer an option. | 03:09 |
| psusi | kwtm2, it's out | 03:09 |
| OerHeks | kwtm2, 12.04 is out | 03:10 |
| gogeta | dforthman: not always my atom comes up 64 bit with that | 03:10 |
| enzotib | in LXTerminal (from 12.04), when I hit Shift-Ctrl-C it copies the selected region, but also interprets it as interrupt. It was not so in 11.10. Maybe a different configuration from my part, but where to look for? | 03:10 |
| gogeta | dforthman: its not 64 it has some 64 support | 03:10 |
| dr_willis | kwtm2: i thought it showed up on both. and had some settings. but i havent tried multi mon. in ages | 03:10 |
| sinedeviance | gogeta: some atoms (mainly the ones after the first couple years) were 64-bit | 03:10 |
| lauratika | just upgrade to 12.04 and dash seems bit unresponsive... when i place the mouse on the left side of the screen it wont show up... waht could be the problem? | 03:10 |
| dforthman | I believe those older semprons should be accurate | 03:10 |
| psusi | gogeta, huh? "some" 64 bit support? it's kind of either all or nothing | 03:10 |
| socrates_johnson | erujolc: as fate would have it, my laptop is dying and i need a replacement asap. i'm looking at a laptop with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M with optimus. Is that going to be a problem? | 03:10 |
| gogeta | psusi: nope some atoms had 64 emu | 03:11 |
| gogeta | clflush size: 64 | 03:11 |
| gogeta | and i knoe this is not 64bit | 03:11 |
| project_tab | i checked in desktop sharing preferences but i do not see anything pertaining to having the remote machine enter system pw to allow vnc connection | 03:11 |
| gogeta | i tryed to install it once and it failed | 03:11 |
| dr_willis | my netbook can run 64 bit ubuntu. which suprised me.. | 03:11 |
| erujolc | will report back in about an 1hr just about to put the iso on CD and try it, private message your email if not about | 03:11 |
| erujolc | s/cd/usb | 03:11 |
| dforthman | that's weird. i've never seen it report 64 if it's not a 64-bit processor | 03:12 |
| gogeta | dforthman: the septron was made before 64 bit was thought of | 03:12 |
| psusi | cache line size doesn't have anything to do with 32 bit vs 64 | 03:12 |
| Waraudon | Gah, I hate how Ubuntu always installs GRUB on the wrong disk when you're using a USB stick | 03:12 |
| === Afterraff` is now known as Afteraffekt | ||
| Waraudon | It overwrites the bootloader on the USB stick and blows that up | 03:13 |
| psusi | Waraudon, never seen it do that... | 03:13 |
| EzeQL | hi, if i run which APP , it returns the default release of APP. I want to use a nigthlie of APP located in another directory. how can i do it? | 03:13 |
| dr_willis | Waraudon: never had that peoblem | 03:13 |
| Waraudon | It happens every time I use a USB install | 03:13 |
| dforthman | gogeta, sorry, i was thinking of the wrong command. it's getconf LONG_BIT | 03:14 |
| gogeta | psusi: some prossers like the atom n270 are not true 64 | 03:14 |
| dr_willis | EzeQL: rearange your PATH order | 03:14 |
| gogeta | dforthman: 32 on that | 03:14 |
| ljsoftnet | what does "Could not open /dev/mixer" mean, when i open gnome radio, by the way it has no sound, but can pick up FM signal | 03:14 |
| sinedeviance | erujolc: so earlier you mentioned fabric. is that good? | 03:15 |
| psusi | gogeta, how is there a half way? either it supports 64 bit instructions/addressing/registers, or not... | 03:15 |
| Waraudon | Interesting, for some reason it's using the pae kernel | 03:15 |
| sfears | ljsoftnet: maybe an alsa issue | 03:15 |
| dforthman | gogeta, this will tell you also: sudo lshw -C cpu | grep width | 03:15 |
| gogeta | psusi: some not all | 03:15 |
| project_tab | thx guys | 03:15 |
| ljsoftnet | sfears can i fix it? | 03:15 |
| lauratika | does any one has issues with dash bar not showing up or taking a lot of time? | 03:16 |
| taxman | no | 03:16 |
| gogeta | dforthman: thats 64 | 03:16 |
| Waraudon | Is 12.04 using the generic PAE kernel on a 32-bit system with 1GB of RAM normal? I think 11.04 did it too | 03:16 |
| taxman | my dash bar is ok so far | 03:16 |
| erujolc | fabric is basically a simple wrapper over ssh, so you can do fabric host1 host2 host3 -command rm -fr / (cant remembre exact syntax), but most people will use it programatically from python to check conditions, executing different paths, collect more fine grain metric rather just throwing out commands at 25 machines | 03:16 |
| dforthman | gogeta, ha | 03:16 |
| sfears | ljsoftnet: what does "apt-cache policy alsa-base" say? | 03:17 |
| erujolc | puppet and chef are big boy tools, but greater learning curve | 03:17 |
| gogeta | dforthman: i have 2 like that my n270 and this 3200+ | 03:17 |
| sinedeviance | erujolc: ahh, gotcha. i already do most of that stuff using ssh and cron | 03:17 |
| gogeta | dforthman: i looked it up before and its some odd set they used when 64bit was starting up | 03:17 |
| sinedeviance | i have a cron setup where i can ssh in scripts to multiple machines and then cron will run them | 03:17 |
| psusi | Waraudon, I think the rule was if your cpu supported pae, it used it... iirc, for 12.04, non pae is no longer supported | 03:17 |
| yeik | well, the laptop upgraded to 12.04 with very little issue so far. | 03:17 |
| dforthman | gogeta, gotcha. gotta love the emulations. messes everything up | 03:18 |
| erujolc | yeah with fabric it is push, your setup is pull (so is chef) | 03:18 |
| Waraudon | psusi: That's probably fine then. It is quite old hardware, AMD Athlon XP 3200+, 1GB DDR RAM | 03:18 |
| gogeta | dforthman: i think they where bad 64 bis rebranded 32 | 03:18 |
| gogeta | bits | 03:18 |
| Waraudon | I would install more RAM if the HP BIOS would allow it, but it doesn't | 03:18 |
| gogeta | dforthman: thats pretty normal fo prosser makers | 03:18 |
| dforthman | gogeta, yeah. that seems normal | 03:19 |
| psusi | Waraudon, time to upgrade? ;) | 03:19 |
| naryfa | how do I check which packages have I put on hold with apt-get? | 03:19 |
| Waraudon | psusi: I've definitely been wanting to for a while. A little Mini-ITX system would be perfect | 03:19 |
| Waraudon | and probably use way less power | 03:19 |
| sfears | naryfa: maybe with aptitude? | 03:19 |
| === jalcine is now known as jacky | ||

| naryfa | sfears: bingo, thanks | 03:20 |
| socrates_johnson | erujolc: have you tried bumblebee? | 03:20 |
| erujolc | are gnome-do and launchy still the recommended launcher choices for lightweight desktops like xfce? | 03:20 |
| sfears | ljsoftnet: close radio and try "modprobe snd-mixer-oss" and reopen radio | 03:20 |
| erujolc | nope, what is it? | 03:20 |
| Athanasius | how do I make a spec display at the top of the screen (12.04)? I have a system monitor thing on my 10.04 machine that displays cpu/ram/swap/system load, trying to figure out how to get that on this machine but the top bar doesn't respond to rightclicks | 03:21 |
| psusi | Waraudon, last year overhauled to a nice core2 sandybridge 3.4 GHz setup with 4gb of ram and was surprised by how little power it uses... only 120 watts when idle and the vast majority of that seems to be the old radeon video card I kept instead of getting a mobo with the integrated intel graphics | 03:21 |
| gogeta | dforthman: i popped in my 64 cd my mastake once and it did not work so who knoes | 03:21 |
| Waraudon | psusi: I think anything would be a welcome improvement over an old OEM HP box | 03:21 |
| ljsoftnet | sfears it says FATAL error | 03:21 |
| psusi | Waraudon, actually, it's only drawing 103 watts now that I have all of my old rotational disks sleeping | 03:21 |
| gogeta | psusi: i draw 35 | 03:22 |
| psusi | Waraudon, indeed, hp is terribad | 03:22 |
| erujolc | reading on archwiki, seems more for big gfx systems, i just want smooth effects, with no dent to battery life | 03:22 |
| Waraudon | psusi: IO | 03:22 |
| gogeta | psusi: gotta love the n270 | 03:22 |
| Waraudon | psusi: I'm not sure I even want to know how much power this thing is using * | 03:22 |
| sfears | say's not found, don't be so dramatic ljsoftnet | 03:22 |
| psusi | gogeta, on a desktop? nice... yea, I probably would too if not for the damn radeon... it's a power hog | 03:22 |

| k014 | hello everyone!... i want to update to ubuntu 12.04 but i dont now what are the differences between updating via ubuntu updater, or making a fresh install... | 03:23 |
| k014 | i always chose backup and make a fresh install..... but i am kind of tired about making backups of everything every 6 months, there is a better workflow for this? | 03:23 |
| erujolc | i guessing bumblebee isnt part of 12.04 out the box? | 03:23 |
| gogeta | psusi: i is at work leeching wifi | 03:23 |
| trism | Athanasius: if you mean the system monitor applet for the gnome-panel, indicator-multiload is similar for unity, add it to startup applications | 03:23 |
| psusi | k014, making a backup is still a good idea, but yea, you can just do the upgrade and unless something goes wrong, save yourself the trouble of reinstalling everything | 03:23 |
| k014 | yes but upgrading, does not improve any visuals, i mean, new menus or login screens | 03:24 |
| sinedeviance | gogeta: myunity helps but it doesn't really do what i want (which is a system that is more like gnome 2.x) | 03:24 |
| socrates_johnson | erujolc: i don't think so | 03:24 |
| gogeta | sinedeviance: you will probly like xfce in that case | 03:25 |
| sinedeviance | *sigh* | 03:25 |
| gogeta | sinedeviance: or xubuntu | 03:25 |
| sinedeviance | gogeta: i've been using xubuntu for years. i said that just 30 lines ago. i already know everything about it. | 03:25 |
| erujolc | i probably wont be trying that then, i had all my bastardization fun in archlinux im getting old now so i just want what works, install os, pull down dotfiles, adjust a few settings, reboot and go | 03:25 |
| sfears | ljsoftnet: try installing libsnack2-alsa or libsnack2 either or and see if it helps | 03:26 |
| Athanasius | trism: excellent, that provided exactly what I was looking for thank you | 03:26 |
| sinedeviance | i want to be able to run apps from a dropdown menu or from the desktop. the unity dash wastes time and kinda sucks tbh. | 03:26 |
| BlueClaw | Looking for "OpenCL drivers". I found OpenCL headers in synaptic, is that the same thing? Anyone know? :) | 03:26 |
| Waraudon | I'd also like to be able to get rid of the 4-partition limit of MBR on a new machine, without having to use extended partitions | 03:26 |
| socrates_johnson | erujolc: so you basically just don't use the nvidia card in linux at all? | 03:27 |
| Ass | Dloded 12.04 yet? | 03:27 |
| cordoval_ | mid way on installation process for ubuntu 12.04 upgrade graphics failed and i happened to reboot, now it gives error like git id unrecognized | 03:27 |
| k014 | my workflow nowadays is to create several symbolic links to everything pointing to my home folder, this way i just backup the home folder, and then install any new version of ubuntu, and then just reset the links | 03:27 |
| cordoval_ | how can i fix my install witohut loosing or moving my data around? | 03:27 |
| cordoval_ | just need commands please begging | 03:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Waraudon: delete one and make it into an extended partition, then make logical partitions in that | 03:27 |
| erujolc | No, in the BIOS you can disable it, but once this finishes copying to USB i'll install 12.04 and enable it for a try, but i wont be doing anything hacky, if any dent > 5% to battery its back to using integrated only, unless things fly like a rocket and its simply amazing | 03:28 |
| cordoval_ | crying like a baby on my corner | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | cordoval_: use your backups if necessary | 03:28 |
| k014 | i duno if thats is ok, or you masters of ubuntu have a bbeter workflow for mayor updates | 03:28 |
| cordoval_ | what do you mean by use your backups | 03:28 |
| erujolc | Waraudon, with MBR you can't | 03:28 |
| erujolc | perhaps you can try GPT | 03:28 |
| cordoval_ | i need some guidance | 03:28 |
| cordoval_ | please i am not an expert | 03:28 |
| Waraudon | erujolc: That's the idea, but to boot a GPT disk I'd need a UEFI board | 03:28 |
| Loopb4ck | I have a toshiba satellite l775d and Kernel cmdline requires "i8042.reset=1 i8042.nomux=1" to be added every time the Kernel needs to be updated. is there a way to automate this? | 03:29 |
| sinedeviance | ooh i just figured out how to fix the thunar bug in xubuntu. looks like xubuntu 12.04 is it :D | 03:29 |
| socrates_johnson | erujolc: i'm not old but i don't want to mess around with stuff either. i'm just nervous about buying a new laptop if this optimus thing is a problem (and my current laptop is dying the week before finals). so the options are full-time integrated or full-time nvidia? | 03:29 |
| xangua | i believe my isp restricts my band usage, everytime I use specific torrents I got disconected several times D: whant can I do about it¿ | 03:30 |
| psusi | Waraudon, what's wrong with extended partitions? | 03:30 |
| psusi | Waraudon, and you can get a bios machine to boot from gpt | 03:30 |
| Waraudon | psusi: Nothing really, but I really need to just get everything off the disk and start over. it's a mess right now, / is on partition 3 | 03:30 |
| psusi | Waraudon, so? | 03:31 |
| erujolc | its not a problem, i disabled it in BIOS and it uses the intergrated gfx, i have native resolution, can run gimp, watch videos, movies/divx, connect an external monitor via hdmi. the only thing if there is a fantastic gfx inside id like to use if its doesnt kill battery of dent reliability, but I have a feeling we might have to wait till 3.4, 3.5 before all this stuff is seamless | 03:31 |
| erujolc | so perhaps you get the feeling your not getting everything you pay for, but the only laptops i could find with pure integrated intel only for too low end, so i went mid-range and disable to discrete gfx unit | 03:32 |
| ibfrog | sorry for just breaking into the conversation randomly, but anyone here an audio expert? I can't seem to make my panther point Intel hd audio make a noise | 03:32 |
| cordoval_ | ActionParsnip: | 03:32 |
| ActionParsnip | cordoval_: if your data is important to you, you will have made a duplicate copy on some external storage to your system, like a USB HDD | 03:32 |
| cordoval_ | what do you mean | 03:32 |
| brolman2 | \list | 03:32 |
| cordoval_ | oh it is important but i did not do it | 03:32 |

| cordoval_ | even if i did my backups, you are not answering my aux call | 03:33 |
| cordoval_ | because i don{t know how to proceed | 03:33 |
| erujolc | Waraudon, are you sure you need EFI to boot to a GPT disk. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table | 03:33 |
| L3top | erojulc you might try creating an xorg.conf and just setting the BusID | 03:34 |
| L3top | erujolc: but if you want to switch back and forth bumblebee is the way to go atm for intel/nvidia | 03:34 |
| erujolc | thanks, bullocks to that, i leave it disable in BIOS, one day i'll be able to use surely, but back on review in 6 months tag for now | 03:35 |
| k014 | hello!, i want to know how do you deal with new ubuntu releases.... i mean.... do you use updater?, or backup and clean install?, i ise clean install but i am tired of backups every 6 months, there is a better way to do this? what are your workflows? | 03:35 |
| ibfrog | late to the conversation but trying to keep up ... whats bumblebee? | 03:35 |

| zoeymarie | Is it possible to hide network locations for a user on my system? I don't want them to be able to see the Places/Network at all, if possible... gconf? chmod? | 03:36 |
| erujolc | some switcher, power management controller, early days project to enable full support for laptops with integrated and discrete ati/nvidia cards | 03:36 |
| L3top | It is an application to switch back and forth between integrated and discreet gpus on intel/nvidia dual gpu laptops | 03:36 |
| L3top | I believe they are nvidia only. | 03:36 |
| ibfrog | interesting, thanks L3top | 03:36 |
| ibfrog | zoeymarie, what do you mean by hide network locations? | 03:37 |
| L3top | switcheroo I think addresses the ati/ati cards... not particularly sure. We just force over the better gpu in all cases for our stuff. | 03:37 |
| erujolc | at the expense of battery life? | 03:38 |
| zoeymarie | ibfrog, like, when you click "places," and the "network" folder, we have a bunch of different things to connect to--I'm pretty sure none of our clients would be able to connect to them anyways, but I don't even want them to know they are there (so they don't try...) | 03:38 |
| L3top | we are graphics oriented. We don't care about your battery. We would prefer you not use laptops at all, but if you do, we force the big guns. | 03:38 |
| L3top | we need compositing etc | 03:39 |
| erujolc | understandable scenario | 03:39 |
| ActionParsnip | cordoval_: try running: apt-get -f install in a root recovery console | 03:39 |

| zoeymarie | ibfrog, 10.04 (Lucid) and GNOME2 | 03:40 |

| ibfrog | I'm on unity and 12.04... trying to remember what GNOME2 ended up looking like | 03:41 |
| ActionParsnip | cordoval_: no, just hold shift at boot, choose recovery mode, select root | 03:41 |
| ibfrog | my other system is running gnome-shell and not helping | 03:41 |
| cordoval_ | oh but what if i cannot get that far? | 03:41 |
| ActionParsnip | cordoval_: then you'll need to chroot from liveCD | 03:41 |
| ibfrog | zoeymarie, is the places->network a list of file shares? | 03:42 |
| cordoval_ | hmm i am burning USB with 12.04 now | 03:42 |
| cordoval_ | almost done, i guess from there i can do things right? | 03:42 |
| zoeymarie | ibfrog, yes, I believe so. | 03:42 |

| erujolc | lol | 03:46 |
| throwaway_rq | Athanasius: merci, yeah, i did that and i killed my macbook's efs a while ago | 03:46 |
| throwaway_rq | and it wont boot now | 03:46 |
| throwaway_rq | killed /dev/rdisk0 | 03:46 |
| Athanasius | ouchie | 03:46 |
| |Anthony| | yeik, well... it's enabled by default. Just wondering if it would be good for me to disable it. My ISP isn't providing me with IPv6 atm. | 03:46 |
| erujolc | will startup disk creator work from ubuntu 11.10 to create a 12.04 iso? or should i cancel and do dd? | 03:46 |
| erujolc | s/iso/bootable-usb/ | 03:47 |
| ibfrog | unetbootin worked to create a 12.04 image for me on a a usb stick | 03:47 |
| ibfrog | thats how I installed my current instance | 03:47 |
| yeik | |Anthony|, then the ipv6 is internal only unless you install software for ipv6 tunnelling. so then it doesn't matter. | 03:47 |
| L3top | socrates_johnson: I don't have enough testers with the optimus chipset to tell you for sure that there is no problem, but we do this for other circumstances where an onboard cannot be shutoff. | 03:47 |
| |Anthony| | also read something yesterday about IPv6 has some security vulnerabilities still | 03:47 |
| erujolc | hmmm I got 'No Default or UI configuration derivative found\n boot: | 03:47 |
| erujolc | ' | 03:47 |
| erujolc | probably a fake usb stick to be fair seems super slow for a kingston | 03:48 |
| ActionParsnip | throwaway_rq: I'd use unetbootin | 03:48 |
| socrates_johnson | L3top: okay, and it just forces the better graphics configuration at all times? | 03:48 |
| Athanasius | |Anthony|: Uh. Every networking protocol has vulnerabilities. IPv4 is littered with vulnerabilities a la ARP | 03:48 |
| yeik | |Anthony|, i don't know if i heard any security vulnerabilities other than the fact that every ipv6 address is acceble externall, so not natted like people are use to. | 03:48 |
| apies | can i connect fb with xchat ? iam newbie | 03:48 |
| yeik | accessible* | 03:49 |
| L3top | socrates_johnson: I handle all of the auto detection stuff... so basically if there are two cards, I install appropriate drivers for the second, we generate our own xorg from scratch and I set the BusID. | 03:49 |
| Athanasius | apies: uh, no | 03:49 |
| erujolc | whats fb? | 03:49 |
| Athanasius | facebook I assume | 03:49 |
| apies | 03:49 | |
| SamEEE | lawl | 03:49 |
| Athanasius | speaking of which, what's the unity thing that lets you get facebook notifications on the desktop | 03:49 |
| erujolc | yikes, hopefully not | 03:49 |
| wylde | Athanasius: *shudder* you mean gwibber? | 03:49 |
| ActionParsnip | apies: you may be able to forward the chat using bitlbee | 03:49 |
| SamEEE | apies - if anyone would know it would be #xchat | 03:50 |
| Athanasius | I think so | 03:50 |
| apies | i get install pidgin but in applications list no pidgin there | 03:50 |
| Kreaz | Athanasius: do you mean the notification on taskbar/widget on desktop? | 03:50 |
| apies | yes | 03:50 |
| ActionParsnip | apies: try pressing ALT+F2 and type 'pidgin' | 03:50 |
| yeik | apies, unity? or something else, pidgin is under internet | 03:50 |
| apies | ubuntu 10.04 | 03:50 |
| socrates_johnson | L3top: okay. sorry, i'm not too great at this stuff. if i just install ubuntu without the proprietary nvidia drivers will it use the better card full-time by default? | 03:50 |
| ibfrog | Athanasius, smells like gwibber to me | 03:50 |
| |Anthony| | Athanasius, there will always be chinks in the armor so to speak. I was sleepy when i was reading and don't remember the particulars. But yeik makes an interesting statement | 03:51 |
| Lambda3 | I am currently trying to install ubuntu, but apparently, I can't have more than 4 primary partitions on my hdd. I need some help in figuring out what partition I could get rid of. I am thinking about getting rid of the ntfs partition that is 200 mb large and has a boot flag. If I delete this partition, would I be unable to boot up windows, even after the ubuntu bootloader is installed? | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Lambda3: 200Mb isn't enoungh to hold Ubuntu | 03:51 |
| cordoval_ | where are the md5 numbers for iso_ | 03:51 |
| cordoval_ | cannot find them on the website | 03:51 |
| ibfrog | Lambda3, lots of questions on that .... | 03:51 |
| cordoval_ | url anyone please? | 03:51 |
| L3top | socrates_johnson: No. It will almost certainly use the integrated intel. Our project is not standard. | 03:51 |
| erujolc | socreators_johnson, if enabled in the BIOS i presume it will use the open source nvidia drivers, you'll then get a prompt to install the closed faster drivers under 'Additioanl drivers' afaik | 03:51 |
| |Anthony| | Lambda3, consider extended partitions | 03:51 |
| Lambda3 | No, I mean I would delete that partition and resize the one holding my windows files | 03:51 |
| ibfrog | there are extended partitions you can use to hold additional data | 03:51 |
| Kreaz | make a logical partition maybe? | 03:52 |
| yeik | |Anthony|, you don't have anything to really worry about if your isp doesn't provide support. I wish mine did so I could get it set up with ipv6 and learn firewalls for it. should improve proper security instead of relying on NAT | 03:52 |
| erujolc | i stand corrected | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | cordoval_: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/release/ | 03:52 |
| dforthman | is there a way to make it so when i'm pressing alt to heal myself in wow, it doesn't think i'm pressing a key to do something with the window it's running in? | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | cordoval_: couldn't find that with websearches? | 03:52 |
| Lambda3 | Yeah, I want to do that, but in order to do that, i have to first delete a partition because an extended partition is considered a primary partition | 03:52 |
| L3top | You cannot disable the integrated card though, and it will likely install for and use it... installing the nvidia driver will not magically find the nvidia card. The nvidia works through the integrated, so integrated cannot be disabled | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Lambda3: I guess taht would fly, why not :) | 03:52 |
| ibfrog | I tend to use (1) boot (2) swap (3) root (4) extended (x1) windows (x2) home | 03:52 |

| apies | anyone use street os ? | 03:53 |
| ibfrog | actually... I think swap was in the extended the last time I tried this | 03:53 |
| Lambda3 | My 3rd and 4th partitions are the windows recovery partition and a fat32 partition called "HP_TOOLS" | 03:53 |

| Lambda3 | which leaves only the current boot partition | 03:54 |

| Fyodorovna | ibfrog, windows should be primary at least the OS, and no boot partition is needed on a mbr setup. | 03:54 |
| ibfrog | oh right right | 03:55 |
| wylde | Lambda3: just a quick question, did you back up all your data from windows before starting this? ;) | 03:55 |
| ibfrog | like I said... been a while | 03:55 |
| Lambda3 | I suppose a better question would be does the ubuntu bootloader boot windows itself or does it defer to another partition to boot it up? | 03:55 |
| socrates_johnson | erujolc: okay thanks. my laptop boots about 20% of the time, but i feel better about the upgrade now once it finishes dying. (the optimus issues is a little unnerving for me, but the i7/price is too good for a grad student to pass up) | 03:55 |

| ibfrog | btw: Fyodorovna when did the boot partition go away... used to be standard in gentoo and it seems like its all compressed to the root partition in ubuntu | 03:56 |

| Waraudon | What's the recommended way to save iptables rules in Ubuntu and restore them at boot? | 03:56 |
| cordoval_ | mine was ubuntu 12'04 desktop amd64 | 03:56 |

| Lambda3 | Haha, well, I'm not a complete noob. I've been using ubuntu for like 4-5 years now; although, I admit I don't know a lot about setting it up because I never had trouble with it before and had to learn all about it | 03:57 |

| sfears | then you have the wrong partition mounted to /mnt? | 04:23 |
| ibfrog | ruffleS, responding to it now | 04:23 |
| sfears | what does ls /mnt say? | 04:23 |
| ruffleS | ibfrog thank you | 04:24 |
| vicatcu | sfears: there's nothing there.. | 04:24 |
| sfears | i'd say you have the wrong partition mounted | 04:24 |
| sfears | umount /mnt | 04:24 |
| vicatcu | maybe what i'm doing is not a livecd | 04:25 |
| sfears | fdisk -l to find your / partition | 04:25 |
| vicatcu | i chose "try ubuntu" from the installer | 04:25 |
| L3top | datruth: did anyone ever answer you? | 04:25 |
| sfears | yeah, open a terminal vicatcu | 04:25 |
| datruth | L3top: on the partition question yes. ibfrog did | 04:25 |
| vicatcu | as in restart, or just open a terminal | 04:25 |
| L3top | k | 04:25 |
| datruth | ibfrog: what do you mean laid out? | 04:25 |
| sfears | just open a terminal so you can type some commands | 04:25 |
| vicatcu | because i've already got a terminal open and have sudo su'ed in it | 04:26 |
| vicatcu | yea i'm there | 04:26 |
| sfears | okay | 04:26 |
| sfears | fdisk -l vicatcu | 04:26 |
| ibfrog | datruth, gparted will let you repartition your drive but you may have to use other tools to resize existing paritions unless you are starting from a clean drive | 04:26 |
| Thrasher194 | oh yay 12.04 saved the day | 04:26 |
| sfears | one of those is your / partition, do you know which one | 04:26 |
| === root is now known as Guest92405 | ||
| vicatcu | sfears: well theres sda1 through sda7 | 04:27 |
| vicatcu | sfears one has System = Linux | 04:28 |
| datruth | ibfrog: hrmm the drive in question has a partiton on it that I formated to ext4 thinking it would be sharable across win7 and kubuntu so in theory I should be able to reformat that partion as ntfs or fat32 and the partition should be available via win7 and kubuntu yes? | 04:28 |
| vicatcu | sfears; seems like a good bet | 04:28 |
| sfears | only one vicatcu? | 04:28 |
| sfears | yeah, which one? | 04:28 |
| vicatcu | sfears: sda6, and sda7 is Linux swap / Solaris | 04:28 |
| sfears | okay, umount /mnt | 04:28 |
| sfears | and mount /dev/sda6 /mnt | 04:28 |
| vicatcu | sfears done | 04:29 |
| ibfrog | datruth, yup as long as you don't care about any data already on that partition you should be able to reset the partition type and rebuild the filesystem (mkefs.fat32 I think is the command) | 04:29 |
| sfears | ls /mnt should have your / folders | 04:29 |
| datruth | gotcha | 04:29 |
| vicatcu | sfears right on, yes it does | 04:29 |
| goddard | how go the upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04? | 04:30 |
| * datruth is going to re-install kubuntu on the new image i just downloaded | 04:30 | |
| sfears | okay mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc | 04:30 |
| vicatcu | sfears: done | 04:30 |
| sfears | mount -t sysfs sys /mnt/sys | 04:30 |
| vicatcu | sfears: done | 04:31 |
| ruffleS | ibfrog did you see it? | 04:31 |
| sfears | mount -t boot boot /mnt/boot | 04:31 |
| sfears | does that mount correctally? | 04:31 |
| L3top | mount -t devpts /dev/pts | 04:32 |
| vicatcu | sears: unknown filesystem type 'boot' | 04:32 |
| sfears | mount -o bind /boot /mnt/boot | 04:32 |

| uBUxUBu | is 64bit ubuntu desktop faster than 32 bit...even if they both have the same amount of ram? | 04:34 |
| vicatcu | sfears: ok done | 04:34 |
| ibfrog | ruffleS, posted. For what its worth your english is pretty good. your description was accurate and to the point | 04:34 |
| sfears | cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/etc/resolv.conf | 04:34 |
| L3top | some things will have a marginal increase in speed uBUxUBu | 04:34 |
| sfears | make sure your connected to the internet and then cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/etc/resolv.conf | 04:34 |
| L3top | unlikely to make a real impact on your life uBUxUBu | 04:35 |
| vicatcu | sfears: ok done | 04:35 |
| ruffleS | ibfrog thanks! i just hope this will get fixed in time for 12.10. thank you for taking your time to help me out. cheers! | 04:35 |
| linuxuz3r | uBUxUBu, i think it depends on the speed of your processor | 04:35 |
| uBUxUBu | hmmm, for some reasons, some tests claim its a lot faster, others say what you said L3top | 04:35 |
| sfears | you were connected to the net first vicatcu? | 04:35 |
| vicatcu | yea | 04:35 |
| uBUxUBu | my processor on the machine in question is a 3.4 HT P4 | 04:36 |

| linuxuz3r | uBUxUBu, hi | 04:36 |
| linuxuz3r | i think that cant run 64bit | 04:36 |
| vicatcu | sfears: yea i have network and can browse the web | 04:36 |
| sfears | okay, chroot /mnt /bin/bash | 04:36 |
| uBUxUBu | i noticed in the bios it says 64 bit though | 04:37 |
| vicatcu | sfears: ok done | 04:37 |
| biobunsai | Oh let me guess..no screen saver again!!!! | 04:37 |
| sfears | okay, your running on your crashed machine | 04:37 |
| sfears | issue commands like apt-get update and apt-get upgrade | 04:37 |
| rinzler | anybody have any experience with tilp2, or know where to find someone who does? | 04:37 |
| sfears | should start downloading and updating everything vicatcu | 04:37 |
| uBUxUBu | linux4u, unless dell put a 64 bit mobo with a cpu that cant do 64 bit? | 04:38 |
| ibfrog | rinzler, what is tilp2? | 04:38 |
| vicatcu | sfears: ok apt-get update running currently | 04:38 |
| ibfrog | rinzler, TI com program? | 04:38 |
| rinzler | ibfrog: yep | 04:38 |
| sfears | or maybe dist-upgrade or might have to dpkg something to recover where it lost it last time | 04:38 |
| ibfrog | neat tool but I haven't run it :/ | 04:38 |
| borillion | anyone have any experience setting up web hosts that are secure? | 04:38 |
| vicatcu | libc6 ? | 04:39 |
| Fyodorovna | sfears, maybe sudo apt-get -f install to unlock their original upgrade if locked | 04:39 |
| goddard | how go the upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04? | 04:39 |
| vicatcu | sfears: any ideas how to figure out what is b0rk3d? | 04:39 |
| goddard | what is the best way to upgrade? | 04:39 |
| sfears | yeah, your in there as long as you don't reboot or exit from your terminal session | 04:39 |
| sfears | vicatcu: just try apt-get upgrade and see if it errors | 04:40 |
| vicatcu | sfears: ok will do | 04:40 |
| ActionParsnip | goddard: there is no best, just options | 04:40 |
| ActionParsnip | !upgrade | goddard | 04:40 |
| ubottu | goddard: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 04:40 |
| sfears | it should put you in a state to reboot into your system and dist upgrade from the gui when you get there | 04:40 |

| ian_ | i just installed the 12.04 | 04:42 |
| ian_ | but it wont load and shows a black screen | 04:42 |

| ian_ | im here cuz i used a old version in the start up | 04:43 |
| schultza | !java | 04:43 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 04:43 |

| sfears | you may have to wait until kubuntu server traffic dies down, maybe some of the packages are unavailable becauase the servers are overloaded right now | 04:44 |
| ian_ | Please? when i boot the 12.04, everying is fine until the sign up... after i sign its blackout | 04:44 |
| aarcane | does anyone else actually answer FloodBot1 in #ubuntu-unregged? | 04:44 |
| sfears | ian_ do you have an external or alternate monitor to use | 04:45 |
| === JackyAlcine is now known as Jacky | ||
| === Jacky is now known as jacky | ||
| sfears | it may be your monitor refresh rate ian_. | 04:45 |
| cemc | hi. I have 4GB of RAM in my laptop. is it worth installing 64bit 12.04 ? | 04:45 |
| ian_ | nope my pc is on a HP montior | 04:45 |
| sfears | lcd ian_? | 04:45 |
| mcdonc | cemc: that's plenty | 04:45 |
| ian_ | yeah i think | 04:45 |
| ian_ | but im not sure | 04:45 |
| mcdonc | and 64 bit still runs flash and whatnot | 04:46 |
| ian_ | everything was fine like 3-4 ans of use before the 12.04 | 04:46 |
| ian_ | *years | 04:46 |
| sfears | i have that problem with one of my lcd monitors, i have to hook up a crt monitor to change the refresh rate and then hook the lcd back up | 04:46 |
| cemc | mcdonc: I see. thanks | 04:46 |
| ian_ | with the 12.04? | 04:46 |
| L3top | ian_: what are the chances this is an nvidia gpu | 04:47 |
| sfears | you can boot into a live cd session and manually change the refresh rate in the xorg config, but i'm not exactally sure where the setting is ian_ | 04:47 |
| ian_ | yes lol its a nvidia car i think with amd motherboard | 04:47 |
| ian_ | i don't have a live cd :( | 04:47 |
| sfears | maybe try the nomodeset option at grub boot ian_ | 04:47 |
| sfears | at the grub menu type c for command prompt to appear. then type nomodeset and hit enter | 04:48 |
| ian_ | "nomodset" only? | 04:48 |
| ian_ | okay | 04:48 |
| sfears | yeah, that will help if it's a driver issue, not if it's refresh rate though | 04:48 |
| ian_ | ok sounds good | 04:48 |
| ian_ | i'll be back | 04:48 |
| aarcane | cemc, it's always worth installing 64 bit if your CPU supports it. | 04:48 |

| chris215 | i was hoping i could free up some space on this computer, only 40 gb hd, by compressing my movie files when im not using them, but i am noticing that in tar.gz form its the same size as the file itself... is there a compression format that will make the average 700mb movie file fit into a smaller file? | 04:53 |
| chris215 | or is that not really what compression does | 04:54 |
| A|i3N | So I just install 12.04 - Could someone tell me what package to install to get the Gnome classic interface? I can't seem to find it. | 04:54 |
| ItsMeLenny | chris215, movie files are already compressed | 04:54 |
| woo | chris, try 7zip | 04:54 |
| sfears | chris215: tar -c 9 | 04:54 |
| sfears | maybe increase the compression chris215 | 04:54 |
| roloncito | raven from mexico? | 04:54 |
| ItsMeLenny | A|i3N, the gnome classic interface is buggy you're probably better of getting http://mate-desktop.org | 04:54 |
| halfie | hi, i have installed ubuntu 12.04 but I can't hear any sound on headphones connected to SB XFI sound card. Any tips to get sound working? | 04:55 |
| ItsMeLenny | nice 300mb package | 04:55 |
| chris215 | i know how to put them into a compresed file in the terminal and with nautilus already | 04:55 |

| wylde | chris215: you will gain very little even with maximum compression settings. As someone already said, movies/music/lots of image files are already compressed. | 04:57 |
| ItsMeLenny | redact3d, everything is broken for me in 12.04, along with my heart | 04:57 |

| sfears | or that | 04:57 |
| chris215 | thanks wylde | 04:57 |

| redact3d | ItsMeLenny, my upgrade wen't very well actually first time it's ever worked. normally i need to hose and start fresh. just that one animation in compiz not working correctly from what i can see | 04:58 |
| ItsMeLenny | i did a full reinstall | 04:58 |
| A|i3N | zykotick9 - I don't mind the unity thing, I just want my application menus at the top - is there a way to just get those back? Applications and system menus | 04:58 |

| Gotestra | I need some help with Updating Ubuntu to 12.0 | 05:15 |
| Gotestra | Or whatever version it is. | 05:15 |
| Grecoo | whats wrong? | 05:15 |
| Gotestra | See, I've got this really slow Internet. | 05:16 |
| Gotestra | And uh | 05:16 |
| Gotestra | My download failed. | 05:16 |
| Gotestra | Now I try again, it gives me a partial upgrade message. | 05:16 |
| Dan-The-Man | Gotestra, buy the cd | 05:16 |
| Gotestra | :| | 05:16 |
| Gotestra | Just lemme finish | 05:16 |
| taxman | higher internet speed is not worth | 05:16 |
| woo | server is under pressure at the moment | 05:16 |
| Grecoo | Gotestra, have you tried downloading from a mirror? | 05:16 |
| taxman | they always steal your bandwidth | 05:16 |
| woo | give it a few days | 05:16 |
| Gotestra | Um just a second | 05:17 |
| Gotestra | Its not the slow Internet. | 05:17 |
| Gotestra | My download failed, because my Internet failed. | 05:17 |
| Gotestra | Stupid ISP. | 05:17 |
| goddard | ActionParsnip: thats an interesting way of looking at things | 05:17 |
| sfears | bandwidth like the drive through like the cell phone | 05:17 |
| Gotestra | Well when I try to resume it by clicking partial upgrade | 05:17 |
| Gotestra | It gives me an error message | 05:17 |

| Gotestra | Saying another package manager like apt-get or something is running. | 05:18 |
| Grecoo | well, you shuld close that process | 05:18 |
| sfears | ohhh, and I assume if you reboot from where you are it won't boot? | 05:18 |
| Grecoo | or kill it | 05:18 |
| woo | Got, delete the temp? | 05:18 |
| woo | or top kill | 05:18 |
| Gotestra | I'm a n00b and didn't understand any of it? | 05:18 |

| Gotestra | Thanks a lot people :) | 05:22 |
| sfears | Gotestra: you tried to start an upgrade on top of an already running upgrade, if it allowed you to do that it would break things | 05:22 |

| Gotestra | Oh | 05:23 |

| Gotestra | What's that? | 05:28 |
| Grecoo | hey do you know how to "auto hide" the panel? | 05:28 |
| sfears | you need to change the refresh rate in /etc/X11/xorg.conf which is probably not created yet so you need to create an entire xorg.conf file and add a 60hz mode | 05:29 |

| holmescn | run fsck on the partition you mount wrong. | 05:30 |
| holmescn | fsck is a command | 05:30 |
| Grecoo | sfears, thanks | 05:30 |
| Gotestra | How do I use it? | 05:30 |
| Gotestra | Example of input? | 05:30 |
| ian_ | Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) | 05:30 |
| ian_ | utility, e.g. service gdm /etc/init.d/kdm | 05:30 |

| ActionParsnip | kaushal: unity is a shell for Gnome3 | 05:49 |
| uBUxUBu | if the icon launcher supposed to be fixed in 12.04? | 05:49 |
| uBUxUBu | like immovable | 05:50 |
| holmescn | kaushal: it seams that unity 5 is based on gnome3 (or you can say based on gtk3) | 05:50 |
| ActionParsnip | kaushal: Oneiric also uses Gnome3 and Unity, just that Precise uses a newer version | 05:50 |
| kaushal | so gnome3 is not available on 12.04 | 05:50 |
| kaushal | ? | 05:50 |
| Gotestra | Damn. | 05:50 |
| ActionParsnip | kaushal: yes it's the default desktop if you install Ubuntu | 05:50 |
| holmescn | kaushal: no, you can use gnome 3 as you wish. | 05:50 |
| fidel_ | ahoi | 05:50 |
| Gotestra | I got to wait for Update Manager to exit. | 05:50 |
| Gotestra | I'm installing NTFS Config tool. | 05:50 |
| Gotestra | k I'll go study now | 05:51 |
| kaushal | ActionParsnip: you said unity is the shell not sure i understand that | 05:51 |
| Gotestra | Bai people | 05:51 |
| sfears | Gotestra: pastebin your fdisk -l output | 05:51 |
| holmescn | kaushal: you need to install gnome 3 by yourself. | 05:51 |
| Gotestra | Its so hard to copy paste with my trackpad... | 05:51 |
| kaushal | holmescn: so if i i install 12.04 it doesnot install gnome 3 by default ? | 05:51 |
| holmescn | kaushal: yes | 05:52 |
| Gotestra | How do I copy from kernel? | 05:52 |
| Gotestra | lol; | 05:52 |
| kaushal | whats the default then ? | 05:52 |
| fidel_ | kaushal: installing gnome3 afterwards is a 1-liner - so not a real problem | 05:52 |
| holmescn | kaushal: unity | 05:52 |
| sfears | you said you got the same error in explorer right? | 05:52 |
| kaushal | holmescn: so unity5 as default when you install 12.04 desktop ? | 05:53 |
| Gotestra | Yea. | 05:53 |
| holmescn | kaushal: yup. | 05:53 |
| sfears | i'd say you have a crashed partition. | 05:53 |
| kaushal | ok | 05:53 |
| Gotestra | Wait wut | 05:53 |
| Gotestra | The drive has disappeared. | 05:53 |
| sfears | Your Z: drive is crashed | 05:53 |
| Gotestra | From explorer. | 05:53 |
| Gotestra | Wut | 05:53 |
| Gotestra | So, is the data unusable now? | 05:53 |
| Gotestra | o.o | 05:54 |
| ActionParsnip | kaushal: it will come with unity, compiz and gnome by default | 05:54 |
| sfears | you can try to rebuild the partition table, but i'm not sure how to do that | 05:54 |
| Gotestra | :| | 05:54 |
| kaushal | ActionParsnip: ok | 05:54 |
| Gotestra | Uh never mind. | 05:54 |
| Gotestra | I'll look into this later man | 05:54 |
| sfears | perhaps dd the entire partition and try to mount the image with isomount, but i doubt that would work | 05:54 |
| Gotestra | Thanks a lot for the help though. | 05:54 |
| Gotestra | :| | 05:54 |
| kaushal | also so all unity, compiz and gnome are different desktop environment ? | 05:54 |
| sfears | maybe make a loopback device if we can figure out the proper starting block location | 05:55 |
| sfears | Gotestra: i need to see your fdisk -l output | 05:55 |
| Striking7|Away | sfears: Hey. I just popped back into the channel. Who's rebuilding a partition table? | 05:55 |
| sfears | Gotestra: is Striking7|Away | 05:55 |
| === Striking7|Away is now known as Striking7 | ||
| Gotestra | wut | 05:56 |
| zenmaster | Hi, does anyone have expierance installing iredmail? | 05:56 |
| Gotestra | OH another thing. | 05:56 |
| Gotestra | If I reboot now | 05:56 |
| Striking7 | Ok. I've done this before with success, hopefully this is what Gotestra needs. | 05:56 |
| Striking7 | Is it on a normal disk? Not raid or the like? | 05:56 |
| Gotestra | I dunno what RAID is. | 05:56 |
| Gotestra | So no, I don't think so. | 05:56 |
| sfears | i don't think so, i havn't seen the fdisk output but i think it's a standard extended partition | 05:56 |
| Striking7 | Gotestra: Good, that means we're probably in familiar territory. | 05:56 |
| oscalation | can someone help me with a wpa_supplicant conf file? I cant get mine to work | 05:57 |
| Gotestra | :) | 05:57 |
| Striking7 | I had a friend that had accidentally nuked his partition table | 05:57 |
| Striking7 | He had a bunch of data that he wanted back | 05:57 |
| Gotestra | ;| | 05:57 |
| Striking7 | We crossed our fingers and prayed :-p | 05:57 |
| Gotestra | k now I'm seriously scared | 05:57 |
| Striking7 | Jumped into an Ubuntu liveCD and fired up Gparted | 05:57 |
| Gotestra | I got like 111 GB of data on that thing. | 05:57 |
| Gotestra | Can I access it on Windows? | 05:57 |
| Striking7 | Partitioned it the way it was partitioned before - luckily we remembered the partition sizes | 05:58 |
| Striking7 | and *here's the key* make sure to uncheck the "format" checkbox for each partition | 05:58 |
| Striking7 | Worked flawlessly. | 05:58 |
| Gotestra | Goodness me. | 05:58 |
| sfears | i could see that working as long as it's not formatted | 05:58 |
| Striking7 | Gotestra: This was a Windows install that we did it on yes. | 05:58 |
| Gotestra | SO, before I used Ubuntu | 05:59 |
| Gotestra | That is, tell ysterday night, | 05:59 |
| Gotestra | My Z drive worked fine. | 05:59 |
| Gotestra | But now, | 05:59 |
| Gotestra | I can't access its data ?!?! | 05:59 |
| Striking7 | Is it NTFS? | 05:59 |
| Gotestra | Yeah. | 05:59 |
| Striking7 | K. Same with my situation | 05:59 |
| Striking7 | Did you partition it from Linux or from Windows? | 06:00 |
| Gotestra | Windows omg | 06:00 |
| === XuMuK|znc is now known as XuMuK | ||
| Gotestra | Windows 7. | 06:00 |
| Striking7 | Ok. I don't know for sure this would work then. | 06:00 |
| bartos01 | hi folks | 06:00 |
| Gotestra | I don't wanna lose my data. | 06:00 |
| Striking7 | Every partition tool is going to estimate partition boundaries a little differently. | 06:00 |
| Gotestra | Its like my life | 06:00 |
| === corey_ is now known as Guest91514 | ||
| Striking7 | My method may not work for you then. | 06:01 |
| Gotestra | I got my music, movies, and almost EVERYTHING on that thing. | 06:01 |
| Gotestra | :( | 06:01 |
| Guest91514 | how do i change my nick | 06:01 |
| Guest91514 | i forgot | 06:01 |
| sm0kec00led | Gotestra, is the drive encrypted with bitlocker? | 06:01 |
| Gotestra | No. | 06:01 |
| Gotestra | Nothing at all. | 06:01 |
| oscalation | Guest79567, type in /nick newnick | 06:01 |
| Gotestra | Its an ordinary drive | 06:01 |
| Striking7 | So I'm not going to recommend it, but I'll let you know what I did in case it's handy info that helps you figure out your solution | 06:01 |
| oscalation | Guest91514, sorry /nick newnick | 06:01 |
| Lazik | Gotestra: and you want to access it from windows or ubuntu? | 06:01 |
| Gotestra | Both. | 06:02 |
| Striking7 | I don't know how Windows partition managers work - I haven't used Windows much for almost half a decade. | 06:02 |
| === Guest91514 is now known as ok | ||
| Gotestra | :o | 06:02 |
| ok | ah | 06:02 |
| Lazik | In which OS are you right now? | 06:02 |
| Gotestra | Ubuntu. | 06:02 |
| Striking7 | But here's the idea... a partition table is pretty much like a library's card catalog. | 06:02 |
| sfears | Gotestra: i need to see your fdisk output | 06:02 |
| === ok is now known as Guest98022 | ||
| oscalation | Gotestra, This wont help any now, but its always a good rule of thumb to have a backup of your data prior to making even the smallest of changes. Do you by chance have any backups ? | 06:02 |
| Guest98022 | why did my name | 06:02 |
| Striking7 | It just tells the OS where to look for what data. Where does a partition start, what type is it (NTFS in this case), and how big is it. | 06:02 |
| Gotestra | Some stuff, yeah. | 06:02 |
| bartos01 | I have dual monitors with Nvidia drivers. how do I get a different wallpaper on each monitor. z | 06:02 |
| Gotestra | But not all :( | 06:02 |
| MrBusiness | Is the background for the 12.04 greeter still defined in /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf? | 06:02 |
| Guest98022 | change back | 06:02 |
| sfears | sudo /sbin/losetup -fs /dev/sd?? -o $((512*<starting_block>)) | 06:02 |
| Striking7 | So if you can overwrite the partition table with the same data, you get your stuff back | 06:03 |
| Gotestra | Damn | 06:03 |
| bartos01 | on unity 12.04 | 06:03 |
| Gotestra | Wow I'm starting to lose grasp here. | 06:03 |
| Gotestra | I can't reboot since Ubuntu is upgrading. | 06:03 |
| MrBusiness | ooh, the background is user-specific now | 06:03 |
| sfears | replace sd?? with the correct partition and <starting_block> with the correct output from fdisk -l Gotestra | 06:03 |
| MrBusiness | hm | 06:03 |
| Gotestra | And so I can't boot into Windows and check. | 06:03 |
| Gotestra | Screw me. | 06:03 |
| Striking7 | Sorry Gotestra - didn't mean to overinform :-p | 06:03 |
| Gotestra | lol no its k | 06:04 |
| Gotestra | I'll just go take a glass of water or something | 06:04 |
| sfears | Gotestra: ((512*63)) | 06:04 |
| Gotestra | and sit down to study. | 06:04 |
| Striking7 | I recommend scotch. | 06:04 |
| Gotestra | I'm 13. | 06:04 |
| Striking7 | Oh | 06:04 |
| Gotestra | :| | 06:04 |
| Striking7 | I do NOT recommend scotch in that case. | 06:04 |
| Gotestra | lolololol | 06:04 |
| * sfears still recomends scotch | 06:04 | |
| goddard | whats the fastest easiest way to make an exact copy of my disk just in case 12.04 blows up my box? | 06:04 |
| Striking7 | Lol sfears | 06:04 |

| fl1bbl3 | gparted | 06:05 |
| Striking7 | Ok Gotestra, let your upgrade finish and then worry about the partitioning. | 06:05 |

| sfears | Gotestra: do you have your fdisk output yet? | 06:06 |
| fl1bbl3 | oscalation: try gparted | 06:06 |
| goddard | can i do it inside my OS without booting up a live cd? | 06:07 |

| sfears | take a screen shot and paste it somewhere | 06:07 |

| ajin | hello?anyone knows about power vr stuff? | 06:11 |
| oscalation | sfears, wouldnt you save more space by only backing up files you need and not system files | 06:11 |
| Striking7 | goddard: You'll likely need to recompile :( | 06:11 |
| sfears | sfs is your problem Gotestra. what is sfs? | 06:12 |
| rymate1234 | TIL chrome has a menubar | 06:12 |
| goddard | bah im not gonna upgrade then | 06:12 |
| Gotestra | I dunno? | 06:12 |
| Gotestra | wut sfs | 06:12 |
| Lazik | you screw up big time | 06:12 |
| Gotestra | where? | 06:12 |
| goddard | use Mozilla | 06:12 |
| Lazik | tell us what you did, you obviously only have one drive | 06:12 |
| Gotestra | I have one drive | 06:12 |
| Gotestra | Various partitions. | 06:13 |
| sfears | Gotestra: try sudo mount -t xfs /dev/sda4 /mnt | 06:13 |

| elslunko | Anyone use dejadup for backing up 2tb+ worth of data? | 06:13 |
| Lazik | he said it was ntfs | 06:13 |
| sfears | yeah, he said | 06:14 |
| Lazik | he probably overwrote the windows partition when he installed ubuntu | 06:14 |
| Gotestra | Goodness me, I'll leave now. | 06:14 |
| goddard | elslunko: the first back up will suck but after that it isnt to bad | 06:14 |

| Gotestra | I'll come on later. | 06:14 |
| Gotestra | I need to study | 06:14 |
| bartos01 | anyone using dual monitors? | 06:15 |
| Lazik | yea i saw | 06:15 |
| oscalation | hey, i have an idea for the guy that formated/repartitioned his drive ... data recovery | 06:15 |
| Gotestra | And my heartbeats racing from fear, so... | 06:15 |
| sfears | we're proably close to helping Gotestra | 06:15 |
| Gotestra | :| | 06:15 |
| Gotestra | Go ahead. | 06:15 |
| ActionParsnip | oscalation: try foremost, your backups wil be the easiest way | 06:15 |
| sfears | i need to find something about sfs, you see where your fdisk says sfs | 06:15 |
| sfears | if that said ntfs it would be working | 06:15 |
| Gotestra | o.o | 06:15 |
| elslunko | goddard, Yeah going through that right now. I used BIT before but trying out DD this time around. Just worried about compressing all that data. | 06:16 |
| Lazik | Gotestra: are you running ubuntu from the cd (as in livecd) or did you install ubuntu to your disk? | 06:16 |
| oscalation | ActionParsnip, not for me, for Gotestra | 06:16 |
| Gotestra | For info, I used Wubi to install Ubuntu. | 06:16 |
| Gotestra | Yeah to disk. | 06:16 |
| oscalation | Gotestra, you used Wubi???? | 06:16 |
| Gotestra | Yeah | 06:17 |
| sfears | sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt -o force Gotestra | 06:17 |
| Lazik | and when it asked you about partition, what did you do? | 06:17 |
| uchiha | me to | 06:17 |
| sfears | wait Gotestra | 06:17 |
| sfears | sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda4 /mnt -o force Gotestra | 06:17 |
| Gotestra | Exactly what does that do? | 06:17 |
| kfizz1 | Anyone having issues with flash not working in chrome after upgrade? | 06:17 |
| wylde | Gotestra: http://askubuntu.com/questions/41667/how-is-sfs-partition-different-than-other | 06:18 |
| sfears | it mount's the dev/sda4 partition to the /mnt folder as type ntfs-3g and if it gives any errors it tries to force it to mount anyway Gotestra | 06:18 |
| Lazik | kfizz1: yea always does, I reinstall the flash libs | 06:18 |
| kfizz1 | Via a deb or apt-get? | 06:18 |
| rodayo | How do I update from the beta 2 to the final release? | 06:19 |
| matthewL | rodayo: good question. | 06:19 |
| Gotestra | Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. | 06:20 |
| sfears | that's a new one Gotestra | 06:20 |
| matthewL | I'm downloading the iso, burning to disk, and there should be an upgrade option. | 06:21 |
| Gotestra | lol | 06:21 |
| sfears | sfs = secure file system = it's encrypted from anywhere outside of the windows that encrypted it | 06:21 |
| oscalation | Gotestra, do you have any backups of this data? | 06:21 |
| glebihan | rodayo, matthewL : there's nothing to do apart from installing all package updates | 06:21 |
| Naemdar | Well my external hd project didn't go so well. may have bricked a 1t usb 3.0 drive lol | 06:21 |
| Gotestra | No. | 06:21 |
| Gotestra | Its not sensitive stuff | 06:21 |
| matthewL | Ah. | 06:21 |
| Gotestra | Only music and movies and stuff | 06:22 |
| oscalation | Gotestra, is it stuff you wished you backed up? | 06:22 |
| Gotestra | SO I didn't think I'd need it. | 06:22 |
| rodayo | glebihan, so how about these "crash reports" that pop up occasionally will those disappear? | 06:22 |
| zenmaster | I am having the hardest time getting any kind of mail server installed on a fresh install of Ubuntu-Linux-Server-11.10. | 06:22 |
| Gotestra | Yea | 06:22 |
| zykotick9 | !final > rodayo | 06:22 |
| ubottu | rodayo, please see my private message | 06:22 |
| zenmaster | I have tried several Postfix tutorials. | 06:22 |
| Gotestra | CUz it'll take me ages to redownload this stuff lol | 06:22 |
| sfears | Gotestra: you should be able to backup everything from inside windows. | 06:22 |
| Gotestra | I'm a poor guy lmao | 06:22 |
| Naemdar | Does anyone know how to make unity go 3d cube? or sphere mode? | 06:22 |
| Gotestra | I'm saving up to buy an HDD | 06:23 |
| zenmaster | I recently discovered iRedMail. Tried that twice now and still to no avail. The first time after trying other mail installations. This time on a fresh Ubuntu install. | 06:23 |
| syk | i am having a problem installing ubuntu 12.04, everytime i try to install from a usb/cd-rom it always shows error "error prefix not set" and just hangs when i click an option. | 06:23 |
| Gotestra | An external HDD | 06:23 |
| oscalation | have we concluded that Gotestra chose his windows partition to be reformated to install Ubuntu? | 06:23 |
| matthewL | Y | 06:23 |
| sfears | you've encrypted the Z: drive, so you can't see it unless you unencrypt it first, which is booting into windows so you can see the Z: drive | 06:23 |
| sfears | Gotestra: | 06:23 |
| matthewL | Compiz for 3d | 06:23 |
| Gotestra | I didn't reformat LOL | 06:23 |
| Naemdar | is that an easy setup? | 06:23 |
| Gotestra | I would be absolutely mad to do that. | 06:23 |
| Gotestra | I just used Wubi | 06:23 |
| Gotestra | and gave the Ubuntu install 10 GB. | 06:24 |
| matthewL | Yes, very easy. In synaptic. | 06:24 |
| oscalation | Gotestra, have you attempted to boot back into windows? | 06:24 |
| Gotestra | Ubuntu is ugrading itself. | 06:24 |
| Gotestra | So I can't atm. | 06:24 |
| oscalation | ah, that would be my first option. let that finish, then the pc should restart | 06:24 |
| clark | hello, i have a thinkpad 420s and my internet connection is randomly bogged down. i just installed 12.04 | 06:25 |

| abhi_69 | when i try to open them via nautilus (file manager/files) it craches | 06:54 |
| abhi_69 | i can open them but can't access them :( | 06:55 |
| abhi_69 | everything ok for ubuntu's partition though | 06:55 |
| abhi_69 | how to fix this? | 06:55 |
| gaelfx | abhi_69: well, the easiest solution I can think of is to make them not be NTFS, but I'm assuming you don't want to do that? | 06:55 |
| Go_Implementatio | We don't know the exact problem is, then we consider, backup, save info, if information in the hard disk can remain, everything fine. | 06:56 |

| abhi_69 | matthewL, i'm using gnome-shell, using nautilus | 06:56 |
| abhi_69 | do i upload error messages while i'm trying to access them? | 06:57 |
| Go_Implementatio | We can't promise data from thunder can transfer to dolphin without mistakes. only possible way is save them to hard disk, maybe no errors and got a copy. | 06:57 |

| matthewL | Annual dual boot w windows 7 | 07:21 |
| gaelfx | oal: I think you should disable the dual monitor, then apply the settings change and then try to set it up again (separate xscreen style) | 07:21 |
| throwaway_rq | ikonia: yeah - i understand - there's just "too many" there's no upvote/ranking system for the guides that are good/generically appraised | 07:21 |
| oal | gaelfx: ok, I'll give it a try, thanks | 07:22 |
| ikonia | throwaway_rq: you don't need a ranking on https://help.ubuntu.com it's all official ubuntu documentation and can be trusted | 07:22 |
| gaelfx | oal: IIRC, you should have use the mouse to select where the second screen goes | 07:22 |
| throwaway_rq | ikonia: ok, thanks, i'll go through them again | 07:22 |
| matthewL | ubuntuforums is good too. | 07:22 |

| tarzeau | throwaway_rq: like when you're into graphics, typography, photographic stuff | 07:29 |
| lotuspsychje | Kriss3d: i mean do you need to install gnome classic, or is it default login option? | 07:30 |
| oal | gaelfx: from the ubuntu screen manager or nvidia-settings? The ubuntu one seems to only detect 1 screen and calls it "laptop" | 07:30 |
| throwaway_rq | tarzeau: yea i am but i still dont like it. | 07:30 |
| tarzeau | throwaway_rq: you probably are young? or missed completely nextstep/openstep? | 07:30 |

| Kriss3d | lotus not sure.. im still just upgrading to 12.04 but if its anything like 11.10 then you gotta install it manually | 07:30 |

| oal | vega-: is your cursor also stuck between your screens? | 07:31 |
| throwaway_rq | xfce | 07:31 |

| Kriss3d | when you wanna work with your linux and not just surf the web.. unity is about as useful as a eel with a pair of gloves | 07:32 |

| jesse__ | Hello. Just installed the latest Ubuntu (havent used it in a few years). Years ago, there was a tool called "Ubuntu Tweak." Does anyone know if this (or something like it) exists for Ubuntu 12.4? | 07:38 |
| PawanPutraHanuma | ashi, do u have the drivers installed for that device? | 07:38 |
| ikonia | jesse__: you don't need it, you can do anything you need within the ubuntu tools | 07:38 |
| jarco | I am willing to install the newest ubuntu. But it looks like my video card is not supported. How can I install it in fallback mode? | 07:38 |
| jesse__ | ikonia: can i switch the maximize, minimize, close buttons to the right side of the title bar? :) | 07:38 |
| ashi | nope | 07:39 |
| ikonia | jesse__: it all works a bit different now with unity | 07:39 |
| ikonia | jesse__: I'd suggest trying it, seeing what you like/don't like and checking out if solutions are available | 07:39 |
| obakfahad | You can if you choose to remove or not use unity jesse__ | 07:39 |
| PawanPutraHanuma | ashi, check the photon website for the relevant drivers | 07:39 |
| jesse__ | obakgahad: i like unity, just i want to configure it a bit, if possible. Does ubuntu tweak no longer work? | 07:39 |
| cypr1nus | mappum, thanks :) | 07:39 |

| Kriss3d | Hmm im running the 11.10 with gnome3.. the anoying thing that instead of administration menu it had "others" which had all the things in it such as synaptic.. but now its back to the good old days.. so far its great | 07:45 |

| ikonia | Christoph_vW: it is wrong. | 07:45 |
| obakfahad | totesmuhgoats isnt that old ? | 07:46 |
| totesmuhgoats | so how is 12.04? | 07:46 |
| kelvinella | ubuntu netbook remix is so old | 07:46 |
| jarco | I ll try again. How can I install the unity version of ubuntu in some kind of safe mode or fallback mode since the normal mode is not working? | 07:46 |
| gvandeweyer | ikonia: no worry, I'm not doing that on the production machine | 07:46 |
| kelvinella | i want ubuntu moblin remix but it is also old | 07:46 |
| totesmuhgoats | obakfahad: i am not an ubuntu expert to be honest | 07:46 |
| obakfahad | totesmuhgoats fabulous . | 07:46 |
| ikonia | gvandeweyer: don't do it on any machine | 07:46 |
| totesmuhgoats | well i have an 11.10 home server, i was thinking about updating to 12.04 since its LTS and keeping it for 2 years | 07:47 |
| gvandeweyer | I'm running the xubuntu 12.04 beta on my laptop, and I notice the amount of issues is still too high for a production server | 07:47 |
| obakfahad | totesmuhgoats to be honest me too :) | 07:47 |
| totesmuhgoats | wondering if it is a good idea to update now or if i should hold off | 07:47 |
| jpic | totesmuhgoats: i like 12.04, it seems a little fatser on my computer | 07:47 |
| MaximB | is it harmless to delete old kernel dirs from usr/src ? | 07:47 |
| uBUxUBu | 12.04 seems very nice trying to get used to it today... | 07:47 |
| Christoph_vW | ikonia: what would be the issue? it upgrades to dev version - but afaik it would be updated to release later then | 07:47 |
| obakfahad | totesmuhgoats i have no idea about that server actually. | 07:47 |
| jpic | MaximB: maybe you should rather remove the old kernel and headers from apt-get | 07:47 |
| jpic | because they take a lot of disk space | 07:48 |
| obakfahad | Any suggestion for unity ? | 07:48 |
| ikonia | Christoph_vW: well, as 12.04 is now no longer a development version.......it will upgrade to an unstable mess as there is nothing useable about 12.10 | 07:48 |

| Ben64 | i'll have to try that | 08:02 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 08:02 |
| minimec | Ben64: You can install the gnome environment. It will give you gnome3, gnome classic and gnome classic without compiz effects as WindowManager options. | 08:03 |
| throwaway_rq | anyone using gnome-session-fallback and alt-tab not working? | 08:05 |
| matthewL | Installing Ubuntu a success! | 08:05 |
| throwaway_rq | seems like it's a common bug now | 08:05 |
| lotuspsychje | minimec: is gnome classic default without installing gnome shell? | 08:05 |
| feisar | just to confirm: If I have been running 12.04 beta I just need to run 'apt-get update' 'apt-get dist-upgrade'? | 08:08 |
| popey | feisar: yes | 08:08 |
| feisar | then I have 12.04 LTS | 08:08 |
| popey | feisar: or use update manager | 08:08 |
| minimec | lotuspsychje: Non of them will be default. Until you switch from unity to another Window Manager in lightdm. | 08:08 |
| feisar | popey: thanks (I only have terminal as it's a server) | 08:08 |
| lotuspsychje | minimec: thats what i mean, do you have the option to login gnome classic by default, or you need to install first? | 08:09 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Hey guys. After upgrading from Oneiric to Precise, none of the default keyboard shortcuts work anymore (e.g. terminal -> CTRL+ALT+T, no longer works) | 08:09 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Custom works fine, though. | 08:09 |

| minimec | lotuspsychje: If you install the gnome environment (or gnome-panel), you will have that option in lightdm. | 08:10 |
| throwaway_rq | Mayazcherquoi: even alt-tab doesnt work | 08:10 |
| lotuspsychje | minimec: ok tnx | 08:10 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Alt+Tab works fine. | 08:10 |
| throwaway_rq | Mayazcherquoi: odd, not in my case. alt+` doesn't either in gnome-terminal | 08:11 |
| Mayazcherquoi | throwaway_rq: Yeah, no, ALT+Tab works fine for me | 08:12 |
| jesse__ | Does anyone know where I can download themes for unity (im using 12.4) ? | 08:12 |
| Boffy | hello.... i am doing upgrade at the moment. is it possible to upgrade form 11.04 directly to 12.04 using the 12.04 live cd? | 08:13 |
| auronandace | Boffy: no | 08:13 |
| feisar | Boffy: you need to use the alternate CDs and you can only go up 1 version at a time | 08:13 |
| auronandace | Boffy: you can upgrade from one to the next or from one lts to the next | 08:14 |

| popey | Boffy: you _can_ install over the top and keep your data if you want to? | 08:14 |
| Kireji | kind of like Ubuntu One, but served from my machine? | 08:14 |
| popey | Boffy: if you do an install over the top and choose manual partitioing and _do_ _not_ format the root partition it will install over the top and keep whatever was in /home | 08:15 |
| llutz | Kireji: why not,use stuff like this http://owncloud.org/ | 08:15 |
| auronandace | popey: and break your system | 08:15 |
| Boffy | yeah that's what i am worried. | 08:16 |
| Boffy | i know i should be able to use liveUSB to go form 11.10 to 12.04 | 08:16 |
| auronandace | Boffy: it really is a lot easier just clean installing | 08:16 |
| Boffy | at leats that would save soem downloading. if only i kept the 11.10 on the USB key before, but instea di erased it to give 12.04 a try and see if all works | 08:16 |
| Engin | i'm sending valid syslog udp packets to server but can't see them in /var/syslog, any common pitfalls ? | 08:17 |
| Boffy | the problem is that i have 25GB data to backup if i do clean install | 08:17 |
| Chousuke | if you really must keep /home you can install on the unformatted partition, but remove all directories except /home from it before | 08:17 |
| Chousuke | but backing up home is easier | 08:17 |

| ikonia | popey: is it actually a bug though as ^C should be interupt | 08:32 |
| enzotib | sk1special, because I want to copy, not interrupt | 08:32 |
| popey | its not ctrl+c | 08:32 |
| ikonia | that's correct/expected behaviour | 08:32 |
| popey | it's shift+ctrl+c | 08:32 |

| pschweitzer | Hi, when will the 12.04LTS will be marked as LTS to allow safe upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 using do-release-upgrade? | 09:00 |

| bluefrog | Starminn, have you rebuilt the fonts cache? | 09:01 |
| bhaisahab | it is now | 09:01 |
| bhaisahab | do it now! | 09:01 |
| vincent | ./quit | 09:01 |
| bhaisahab | bluefrog: do it | 09:01 |
| gaelfx | halfie: hm, I don't see any ports being forwarded on my router RE NFS, how can I check if the NFS is actually running on the server? | 09:01 |
| Starminn | bluefrog: I've not heard of this ever before, so probably not. :) | 09:01 |

| osiris | gaelfx: you can netstat -a and look for nfs running on the server side | 09:02 |
| halfie | gaelfx: netstat -nltp should show portmap and some rpc process. though there is a better way which i forgot | 09:02 |

| halfie | gaelfx: got it, run "rpcinfo -p" | 09:02 |
| luca__ | ho cliccato sul tasto compatibilità con burg e da allora non si avvia più | 09:02 |
| bluefrog | Starminn, not that I am aware of | 09:02 |
| gaelfx | halfie: osiris I'll try both in a minute | 09:02 |

| lotuspsychje | nice | 09:04 |
| luca__ | this program doesn't work on my pc because i clicked on compatibility with burg | 09:04 |
| Starminn | bluefrog: Did a full restart (I know it's overkill on Linux, but I figure it's a sure-fire way, nonetheless to test if something got fixed) and am experiencing the same problem. | 09:04 |
| bluefrog | goddard, don't understand | 09:04 |
| goddard | nvm | 09:05 |
| luca__ | someone has an idea? | 09:05 |
| nitzs | why is there such a big gap between the top bar and the notification popups? | 09:05 |
| gaelfx | halfie: actually, I just noticed transmission's port doesn't seem to be automatically forwarding either, which seems rather strange | 09:05 |
| onoez_omg | hey guys, how may i move the applents into 12.04' gnome classic? | 09:05 |
| Starminn | bluefrog: The plain shell (CTRL+ALT+F1->F6) displays fine, though, so it may just be an Ubuntu font problem. Is there a sane way to change the font on 12.04 built-in? (i.e. Other than GNOME's "Advanced Settings"?) | 09:06 |
| bluefrog | goddard, sry was thinking about another problem. apt-get purge linux-image then tab to find what's installed | 09:06 |
| gaelfx | onoez_omg: if you mean like Gnome 2, I think your best shot is to use MATE | 09:06 |
| Stuu | Hey guys | 09:06 |

| fishcooker | MonkeyDust: thankyou it work on pidgin | 09:07 |
| onoez_omg | gaelfx, it is gnome 3 with fallback to classic view, anyway thx, but what is MATE? | 09:07 |
| goddard | bluefrog: can i just do apt-get remove and then the image name | 09:07 |
| goddard | bluefrog: is that safe? | 09:08 |
| fishcooker | thanks sk1special | 09:08 |
| gaelfx | onoez_omg: linux mint's fork of gnome 2 | 09:08 |

| luca__ | thanks for the help | 09:08 |
| onoez_omg | gaelfx, is it a good idea to mix mint packages with native ones? :/ | 09:08 |
| nitzs | sk1special: but if a new notification popup occurs, the older one should scroll down to make way. that would've looked cool. | 09:09 |
| ikonia | onoez_omg: use mint packages on mint, ubuntu packages on ubuntu | 09:09 |
| gaelfx | onoez_omg: not sure on that one, might wanna check if MATE is in the repos. if it is, it should be more or less fine | 09:09 |
| onoez_omg | i already did, it is not, thx | 09:09 |
| nitzs | onoez_omg: do you know about cinnamon? | 09:10 |
| sk1special | yeah he *called for community/dev input* to help finalize / update /whatever make to make it easier to use in the coming updates. was talking about doing same placement but delayed popups by detecting where the cursor was | 09:10 |
| gaelfx | halfie: ok, I found that NFS shows up in rpcinfo, and it listed the port for it as well, but I was wondering whether or not NFS uses upnp or not? | 09:10 |

| ubottu | Package remastersys does not exist in precise | 09:15 |
| krababbel | jarco: did you try esc? ctrl+alt+f1 would take you to an alternative terminal. also there is rescue mode in boot menu. | 09:15 |
| krababbel | jarco: low graphics mode is text mode. | 09:16 |
| sk1special | depending on options/which driver what video sets i choose. i can get one monitor to wwork fine. or both to work but the windows have that win 98 look to them and no drap and drop between workstations or one working and one grey screen | 09:16 |
| sk1special | drag* | 09:16 |
| jarco | krababbel: can i install the nvidia drivers from the text mode? | 09:17 |
| krababbel | jarco: yes, you can do everything there I guess | 09:17 |
| onoez_omg | jarco, apt-get install nvidia-current | 09:17 |
| jarco | The problem is it doesn't seem to go in there :( | 09:17 |
| krababbel | jarco: can you switch terminal? | 09:17 |

| jarco | krababbel: nope :( ctrl alt + F 1 - 5 not working | 09:18 |
| gaelfx | or is there a way to make it do that? | 09:18 |
| bepebe | is there a network proxy gui, like the one in ubuntu. I have set /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/wgetrc with my proxy settings manually, but cannot seem to download Additional Drivers. I am looking for a .deb install or something for the Network Proxy option under System >> Network Proxy | 09:18 |
| halfie | gaelfx: NFS doesn't use upnp AFAIK | 09:19 |
| onoez_omg | Somya, could you please provide ur `lspci`, `rfkill list all` and `dmesg`? | 09:19 |
| krababbel | jarco: try rescue mode and there you can look at /var/log/xorg | 09:19 |

| krababbel | jarco: does live cd work? | 09:19 |
| jarco | krababbel: booting into rescue mode right now | 09:19 |
| fishcooker | if im upgrade from LL to PP.. on server | 09:19 |
| halfie | gaelfx: yes, and some NFS ports are random (there is a way to make them static though). | 09:19 |
| fishcooker | will the unity stuff be installed? | 09:20 |
| halfie | gaelfx: for simple file sharing, sshfs works without all this mess. | 09:20 |
| === nikolja|odsutan is now known as nikolja | ||
| krababbel | jarco: what card do you have? | 09:20 |
| fishcooker | actually im on server LL | 09:20 |
| jarco | krababbel: I am not sure. I know it worked with the nvidia drivers under fedora. | 09:20 |
| gaelfx | halfie: I kinda need it to be gui though | 09:21 |
| jarco | krababbel: I am in rescue mode now | 09:21 |
| krababbel | do < onoez_omg> jarco, apt-get install nvidia-current | 09:21 |
| onoez_omg | fishcooker, from what i see now from 12.04 i suppose (somehow) that the answer is yes | 09:21 |
| halfie | gaelfx: sshfs mount points can be opened in GUI explorers, is that what you are talking about? | 09:22 |
| anax | Hello, all! I have just installed Ubuntu 12.04, and I've noticed that I have never installed proprietery drivers for my graphics card. I have the Intel Graphics Family with GeForce 520M graphic card. When I start the Proprietery Drivers application, it shows nothing. My question is, what will happen if I install Nvidia drivers on my own? | 09:22 |
| gaelfx | halfie: I suppose, more or less | 09:22 |
| fishcooker | omg onoez_omg | 09:22 |
| ogra_ | fishcooker, if you dont have a GUI now, its wont install GUI during upgrade | 09:22 |
| onoez_omg | fishcooker, indeed | 09:22 |
| === matthew is now known as Guest18003 | ||
| gaelfx | halfie: does sshfs require login using the machines UID and pass though? | 09:23 |
| fishcooker | same here anax | 09:23 |
| fishcooker | im on the 520m | 09:23 |
| fishcooker | i've openbox installed ogra | 09:23 |
| fishcooker | ogra_: | 09:24 |
| halfie | gaelfx: ssh requires running sshd on the server and on client it involves giving credentials to mount a folder. | 09:24 |
| onoez_omg | 540m with optimus and bumblebee and solid unmoveable gnome applets on 12.04 :/ | 09:24 |
| ogra_ | fishcooker, so it wont pull in unity, it will just upgrade what you have | 09:24 |
| anax | Well, I've added this PPA for X.org drivers, but I don't know what will happen if I install nvidia-current, so I came to ask. :) | 09:24 |
| jarco | how do i setup the dns ? Its not getting that from dhcp. Ping to external ip works | 09:24 |
| fishcooker | go for it anax | 09:25 |
| onoez_omg | jarco, /etc/resolv.conf is ur friend | 09:25 |
| fishcooker | or try the recommended one | 09:25 |
| fishcooker | it works for me | 09:25 |
| ray_ | When I was testing Ubuntu 12.04 from CD I couldn't connect to the internet, but after installing I was able to connect | 09:26 |
| gaelfx | how do you check the permissions on a folder? | 09:26 |
| gaelfx | in cli I mean | 09:26 |
| PawanPutraHanuma | gaelfx, ls -lrth | 09:26 |
| anax | Is there a chance of something going terribly wrong? Like, me losing my desktop enviroment, and then having to return it all. Or will I always be able to enter Unity 2D and work from there? | 09:26 |
| Thete | Does 12.04 still require the special +mac version to work right? | 09:27 |
| onoez_omg | anax, you won't lose ur desktop environment, the most risky part is falling back to ur current nvidia driver or purging it at all in order to use intel graphics (if u have one) | 09:27 |
| SteveBell | hi all. got a question about keyboard layouts. using a macbook here and the keys are somewhat twisted. in os X e.g. all firefox commands like new tab would be cmd+n. but in ubuntu it is ctrl+n. is there a possibility to adjust the keys so that they would work like in os x? | 09:27 |
| onoez_omg | anax, things shouldn't go bad i suppose, don't worry | 09:28 |

| abhi_69 | i already try a solution- that is removing gvfs-metadata from ~/local/share and reboot pc | 09:39 |
| abhi_69 | not working | 09:39 |
| onoez_omg | qEssence, do u use some kind of removable sata-controller? | 09:39 |
| ray_ | OK, so when I resize a window the menu is like before then. OK, I am finally getting the hang of Unity a little. I should go to the beginner channel. Bye all | 09:39 |
| abhi_69 | does this problem related to nautilus-gdu extension? | 09:39 |

| SteveBell | got a question about keyboard layouts. using a macbook here and the keys are somewhat twisted. in os X e.g. all firefox commands like new tab would be cmd+n. but in ubuntu it is ctrl+n. is there a possibility to adjust the keys so that they would work like in os x? | 09:43 |
| qEssence | onoez_omg: Im 100% sure its not a connection problem, because i can widely use them all on Win7. Maybe im wrong whit this and it does not prove anything. | 09:43 |

| onoez_omg | qEssence, i doubt it is connected to nouveau, and yeah, it is weird =) `dmesg` could countain some hints | 09:44 |

| onoez_omg | qEssence, dmesg shows some of the events related to kernel,hardware and its interaction, it is just a command generally speaking that u type into ur terminal =) | 09:46 |
| uBUxUBu | selite, did you buy it new, and did you never manipluate the partitions? | 09:47 |
| sk1special | n/p . found it trying work around broken video drivers yesterday :] | 09:47 |
| qEssence | onoez_omg: Yeah, i know, i meant that fdisk and gparted does not seem to be able to `see` the HDD's, but i can try it. | 09:47 |
| qEssence | onoez_omg: i was also thinking on the alternate install CD. | 09:48 |
| ogra_ | dpkingma, probably a better question on #ubuntu-server :) | 09:48 |
| selite | uBUxUBu: I bought it like a year ago and I only installed Ubuntu, my guess is there is a recovery partition. But, I can't access it with F10 I guess it's because Win7 doesn't work. | 09:48 |
| selite | uBUxUBu: What should I do? | 09:48 |
| dpkingma | ogra_: Thanks! I | 09:48 |

| onoez_omg | qEssence, dmesg often shows if something goes really wrong like with hdds, controller and other things related to your current problem, so it would help much if u would just copy-paste whole dmesg cmd output into pastebin and let us to see it =) | 09:49 |
| uBUxUBu | selite, some computers access it from an f key some need the recovery disk to get into it | 09:49 |

| jatt | I upgraded to pangolin yesterday and the whole system feels much slower than before the upgrade, are there any known issues regarding performance? | 09:51 |
| uBUxUBu | selite, some computers will get you to recovery by typing recovery in the search bar and even burning the disks from that point | 09:51 |
| qEssence | onoez_omg: I undersand, just a step closer. | 09:51 |
| jatt | I am using xfce without composition | 09:51 |
| jatt | I wonder if it is related to the kernel | 09:51 |
| selite | uBUxUBu: Which search bar? I am currently runnin Ubuntu and Win7 doesn't start it says something like No OS files found. | 09:52 |
| uBUxUBu | oh sorry nm | 09:52 |
| uBUxUBu | most manufacturers wil ship the recovery disks if you need them for 10-15 bucks | 09:52 |
| onoez_omg | the other question is if u really need those hah | 09:53 |
| drussell | jatt: hmm, not that I'm aware of, everything seems to be a bit quicker here, but it's all pretty subjective | 09:54 |
| drussell | jatt: what are you finding slower? | 09:54 |
| ojii | so I upgraded to 12.04 yesterday, and if I log into unity3d, the displays go black after about 1-2 minutes after login. Just before going black, it looks like unity is actually crashing hard. I have to kill X then and log into unity2d if i want to use my laptop.

| MonkeyDust | uBUxUBu yes, if you did not use them, if you know what you are doing | 09:59 |
| ItsMeLenny | the latest ubuntu is completely screwed up, nothing is working, it is driving me up the wall, and ive been using ubuntu for like 3 years now | 10:00 |
| ItsMeLenny | if not longer | 10:00 |
| jarco | well | 10:01 |
| uBUxUBu | selite is trying to find his recovery partition, i merely stated that it is possible to have deleted it, i do not condone doing that, unless someone specifically wants too | 10:01 |
| ikonia | how long you've used it has no relevence really | 10:01 |
| MonkeyDust | ItsMeLenny what's wrong? | 10:01 |
| ItsMeLenny | ikonia, it does if it's gotten worse | 10:01 |
| jarco | seems like it is Impossible to install ubuntu on a non supported video card even if you know the nvidia drivers will work. There is just no option given to do this ... | 10:01 |
| maya | Why isn't it easy to make the Task Tray appear in unity5 with a mouse? | 10:01 |
| ikonia | not really, won't change the fact that you're having problems | 10:01 |
| ikonia | jarco: what's the actual issue you are having ? | 10:01 |
| maya | It feels like I need more effort just so it slides out/appear. | 10:02 |
| ItsMeLenny | MonkeyDust, unity was just glitchy as all buggery, both 3d and 2d, same with gnome classic, am now running cinnamon and just everything is still screwed up | 10:02 |
| maya | I try turning up Unity Tray sensitivity up, but it's not giving me the desired effect. | 10:02 |
| maya | :( | 10:02 |
| MonkeyDust | ItsMeLenny i use classic too, define "screwed up"? | 10:02 |
| jarco | ikonia: When I boot my system I see the loading screen but it stops there. | 10:02 |
| ikonia | jarco: what makes you think that's a video card issue ? | 10:03 |
| ItsMeLenny | the unity in 11.10 unity worked fine for me | 10:03 |

| jarco | ikonia: because I had the same problem with fedora. | 10:03 |
| jarco | ikonia: and with arch | 10:03 |
| ItsMeLenny | MonkeyDust, (i dont know how you managed to change the toolbar), but screwed up would be going into the menus and trying to go into a menu and it dissapeares the first 3 times | 10:04 |
| ikonia | jarco: ok, so it's not really an ubuntu issue then | 10:04 |
| ikonia | it's just an incompatible video card | 10:04 |
| ItsMeLenny | making eveyrthing take 3 times as long, thats for classic | 10:04 |
| MonkeyDust | ItsMeLenny classic works fine here | 10:04 |
| ItsMeLenny | for unity the whole new side sensitivity makes you have to sit there ramming the mouse into the side til it pops up | 10:04 |
| jarco | ikonia: no the problem is the video card support. The actueal problem for me is that I can't find a way to boot ubuntu in a way that the 3d acceleration is not needed | 10:04 |
| jarco | fedora did that by default | 10:04 |
| rodayo | the gnome-terminal background image option kinda got messed up on my laptop recently. I remember before you could have a solid background image for the term. Right now the transparency option controls both the solid color and the bg-image...so if I set the opacity to 0% the image is barely visible unless you place over a dark background app and if I set it to 100% it's just a solid color....is anyone else having this problem? | 10:05 |
| ikonia | jarco: as in boot the install or boot the installed system ? | 10:05 |
| MonkeyDust | ItsMeLenny maybe you just have to get used to the new Unity | 10:05 |
| onoez_omg | i don't feel that "unity presense" | 10:05 |
| jarco | ikonia: I installed with the alternate image because the live one didnt work. | 10:05 |
| ItsMeLenny | MonkeyDust, it was still all glitchy and they uglied it up with shadows that didnt look right | 10:05 |
| === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby | ||
| ItsMeLenny | i'm just cracking the shits because they ruined something in which they were on a good track | 10:06 |

| ikonia | ItsMeLenny: drop the language | 10:06 |
| MonkeyDust | ItsMeLenny there's MyUnity to modify Unity (i don't like/use it myself, tho) | 10:06 |
| ItsMeLenny | ikonia, the language? i can only speak english | 10:06 |
| ikonia | ItsMeLenny: the swearing | 10:06 |

| AndyUbuntu | orga_ thank will be a great idea thanks | 10:35 |
| ant_ | MonkeyDust, sure - didn't think 4 lines was that bad | 10:35 |
| zvacet | ant_: in synaptic check that you can upgrade from lts to lts not normal releases and of course before upgrade sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 10:35 |
| AndyUbuntu | think is i wait on this server the next release would be ready to download :p | 10:36 |
| DrDittersdorf | What to choose- 32 or 64? | 10:37 |
| cYmen | haha..I'm currently upgrading to 12.04 and there is a window prompting me to press enter in the command line output of the upgrade window but I can't seem to actually press anything...what do I do? :D | 10:37 |
| bobo123 | the gnome panels show on fullscreen on ubuntu 12.04, any sollution? | 10:37 |
| MonkeyDust | DrDittersdorf if your hardware is 64bit capable, you can use 64bit | 10:38 |
| cYmen | oh..nvm I can send input...must have misclicked earlier | 10:38 |
| robgraves | do you have a 32 or 64 bit processor? also 4gb of ram or more you want 64 bit | 10:38 |
| zvacet | DrDittersdorf: depends of your comp and processor | 10:38 |
| hroi | how can I find out which version of libfreetype I have under /usr/lib? | 10:38 |
| DrDittersdorf | I think the 64bit is just great and worka fine | 10:38 |
| hulaka | I try to install newest Xubuntu. I made install USB with USB Universal Installer. I rebooted, went to Boot Menu when I got options : USB - FDD, USB - HDD, USB - Floppy, USB - CD-Rom. I tried each one - and nothing happens, it doesn't boot from USB :/ What to do | 10:38 |
| the-erm | Does anyone know if ubuntu-server has been updated as well? I've been waiting for my LTS server to say "hey new release" alas ... nothing. | 10:39 |
| sk1special | so i guess lame question. if i have more than 4gbs of ram. will it tell me that i do on a 32 bit system. or will it only be capable of showing 4gb and i have to look at the ram itself to know | 10:39 |
| wer0ckz | ubuntu 12 does really drains laptop's baterry | 10:39 |
| wer0ckz | why is that | 10:39 |
| DrDittersdorf | I have it all. Im asking in general | 10:39 |
| wer0ckz | got ubuntu 12 | 10:39 |
| zvacet | the-erm: is your server up-to-date | 10:39 |
| Anomie21 | Is there a way to update to 12.04 from 11.10 without downloading/creating a cd and all that nonsense? | 10:39 |
| acicula | action09: pio mode? you should not need that if you are using sata | 10:40 |
| robgraves | im not sure if it doesnt recognize beyond 4gb of ram or if it just uses up to 4 gb of ram on 32 bit | 10:40 |
| MonkeyDust | Anomie21 in a terminal, type sudo do-release-update | 10:40 |
| sk1special | @ anomie21 sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 10:40 |
| r4y | Any graphics card related channels? | 10:40 |
| zvacet | Anomie21: from synaptic or update manager | 10:40 |
| ant_ | robgraves, you can use more than 4GB or ram on 32bit if a PAE kernel is installed | 10:40 |
| the-erm | zvacet: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade # doesn't install anything | 10:40 |
| sk1special | (thats what the site says anyway) | 10:40 |
| acicula | robgraves: your system can use more then 4GB of ram if its 32bit, the 4GB limit is specific to processes themselves | 10:40 |
| robgraves | yeah thats true ant_, i forgot | 10:41 |
| MonkeyDust | Anomie21 correction: in a terminal, type sudo do-release-upgrade | 10:41 |
| DrDittersdorf | I had a machine with 8gb and 32bit and it qorked great | 10:41 |
| Anomie21 | Thanks | 10:41 |
| ant_ | robgraves, as acicula says, some hardware can't do that though | 10:41 |
| Starminn | Is there a way to reinstall all base fonts that come with Ubuntu? (I've managed to...make most of my fonts unusable. :) ) | 10:41 |
| robgraves | i have 64 bit so its irrelevant | 10:41 |
| Jen | How did you manage that, Starminn ? | 10:41 |
| sk1special | so will it recognize it then? | 10:41 |
| DrDittersdorf | The main reason for 64 is when one need to.render a video | 10:42 |
| Starminn | Jen: I copied my /usr/share/fonts folder from Ubuntu 11.10, and Merged it with Ubuntu 12.04. Apparently that's a no-no. | 10:42 |
| Domedagen | I'm back from activating the nvidia drivers. Now the system is all slow and laggy again. Can I disable the drivers from the terminal? | 10:42 |
| zvacet | the-erm: good then your system is updated but I don't know why you don't get message about new release | 10:42 |
| the-erm | zvacet: maybe I need to reboot that machine, and it'll install a new kernal or something. | 10:42 |
| DrDittersdorf | Starminn just copy it to .fonts | 10:43 |
| alusion | Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is out?? | 10:43 |
| sk1special | @ domedagen.. i know you can disable them from additional drivers. just click deactivate //restart | 10:43 |
| alusion | Is it stable enough to upgrade? O_O | 10:43 |
| the-erm | alusion: yes LTS is out. | 10:43 |
| cute_bettong | has anyone here gotten 12.04 to run right on a samsung chronos series 7? with ATI switchible graphics? | 10:44 |
| robgraves | yes LTS is kickin | 10:44 |
| alusion | Ahahah i love that | 10:44 |

| qEssence | WinCamXP-Phone: are you over SSH or in front of the terminal_ | 11:06 |
| Anomie21 | Is that a realistic time? | 11:06 |

| ajf | do I install FLRX, FGLRX post-release updates, or both? | 11:11 |
| newwbi | i just upgraded from 10.04 to the 12.04, and i can't find the option to change the fonts, where can i find this? | 11:11 |
| ogra_ | newwbi, fontsize you mean ? | 11:11 |
| === J2 is now known as J2|QK | ||
| Flywater | you can't find it | 11:11 |
| ogra_ | i think gnome moved that into the accessibility panel | 11:12 |
| newwbi | ogra_: yes, | 11:12 |
| zvacet | munim: see https://launchpad.net/~dominik-stadler/+archive/subversion-1.7 | 11:12 |

| ajf | do I install FGLRX then updates? or just updates? | 11:12 |
| ajf | it's confusing | 11:12 |
| curiousx | newwbi: maybe click on top right botton and then "System Setting" finaly "Fonts" | 11:13 |
| newwbi | i can't? seriously? | 11:13 |
| silv3r_m00n | what version of php is there in ubuntu 12.04 ? | 11:13 |

| ogra_ | newwbi, that you do in the terminal settings | 11:15 |

| ajf | ok | 11:16 |
| ajf | brb :) | 11:16 |
| ogra_ | newwbi, well, gnome decided to drop it all ... you can probably change it by installing dconf-tools and using dconf-editor somehow | 11:16 |
| newwbi | i have been putting off updating coz of the bad things i heard about unity, but i didn't think that i can't even change the font anymore... -_- | 11:16 |
| Flywater | i download from AMD and install it in termminal | 11:16 |
| ogra_ | that has nothing to do with unity | 11:17 |
| h31 | murlidhar: Do you changed a "Boot device" option in BIOS? | 11:17 |
| Flywater | ajf : i download from AMD and install it in termminal | 11:17 |

| ryannathans | dnsmasq is running with the SAME config BEFORE 12.04. It will not return DNS queries. ubuntu-server. | 11:30 |

| erezson | @zvacel - I have the kde plasma workspace in the login window. then I choose gnome classic but I see many apps doubled. like system monitor etc | 11:30 |

| MonkeyDust | jiltdil are you unable to select the iso in unetbootin? | 11:32 |

| JonathanEllis | I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell Latitude C61 laptop with 1GB RAM and 60GB hard disk. Processor is a 32 bit intel 586 compatible I believe running at between 1 and 1.5 GHz. After trying to install from the live CD (picking the "Install option") the installer stopped with this message "Installer failed. The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the pro | 11:33 |

| raven | how to do ocr from webcam images? | 11:33 |
| MonkeyDust | jiltdil yes, the distro may be too recent, try downloading the iso, it's faster and easier | 11:33 |
| zvacet | tomreyn: try it but first you have to run sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install because you downloaded and start to install and something is broken now | 11:33 |
| jiltdil | MonkeyDust, Which option to choose , should i choose 11.04 for 12.04 to mak elive | 11:34 |
| smallfoot- | jiltdil, you cant upgrade from 10.04 or 10.10 to 12.04 directly, i tihnk you must do first to 11.04 then 12.04 | 11:34 |
| ryannathans | ubuntu-server isn't talking to me. | 11:34 |
| metallico | guys, do you know how to reset the settings of gphpedit? | 11:34 |
| tomreyn | curiousx: oh okay, not in my case, here the issue was X crashing after i responded to an on-screen prompt by monkeysphere-validation-agent | 11:34 |
| ryannathans | metallico: dpkg-reconfigure <name> | 11:34 |
| tomreyn | zvacet: i understand. thanks. | 11:34 |

| ThePendulum | Could I set-up Ubuntu so I receive mail notifications, yet use the online Gmail interface to read them (and the notification panel directing me there, and keeping Thunderbird basically closed)? | 11:35 |
| jiltdil | MonkeyDust, i want to know how to make it live , what to select in distribution section in unetbootin | 11:35 |
| ryannathans | ogra_: Sigh. I have no internet on this network till then. | 11:35 |
| ThePendulum | Basically, I just need a decent application that just shows e-mail notifications in Ubuntu | 11:35 |
| MonkeyDust | jiltdil the iso *is* live, has nothing to do with unetbootin | 11:35 |

| ThePendulum | sk1special: What issues do you have? I have succesfully set-up dual screens in Ubuntu so far | 11:36 |
| MonkeyDust | jiltdil yes, by using unetbootin | 11:36 |
| the-erm | grandr & xrandr are good programs for setting up dual screens. | 11:37 |
| minimec | delfick: That is quiet strange. Before they turn off, do you have any problems with graphical output. Is the quality ok. I guess you have a dual screen setup. Would the same problem appear with one monitor plugged only? | 11:37 |
| sk1special | ah. atm with my current set up. they both work fine. but i can Not drag and drop windows between desktops and all my window menus look like theyre from win 98 | 11:37 |
| zvacet | tomreyn: ok then | 11:37 |
| jiltdil | MonkeyDust, Oh man from that time i am asking this to you , please see the unetbootin, in distruibution section i choosed ubuntu and then on right side what to choose as there is no opption for 12.04 only max 11.04 | 11:37 |

| delfick | minimec: no graphical problems, three monitors. I'm installing fglrx now. Hopefully that helps | 11:38 |
| sk1special | depnding on how i set them up. that will happen ..or i can fix the menu look..but then only one monitor cuts on..or i can have one monitor on and one as a solid grey screen | 11:38 |
| ThePendulum | sk1special: Can you move your cursor to the 2nd screen? | 11:38 |
| sk1special | yeah the second screen works fine.. | 11:38 |
| MonkeyDust | jiltdil you're looking in the wrong place, below, you can select an iso | 11:38 |
| sk1special | and 3d is working fine.. | 11:38 |
| jiltdil | MonkeyDust, thanks | 11:38 |
| minimec | delfick: That might help. You will have to use the ATI/AMD control software to do the monitor setup. | 11:39 |

| sk1special | i just cant drag and drop between workstations. sorrry had to remeber what they were called here | 11:39 |

| sk1special | i havent typed anything lol it just pops up when i open windows. exactly what should i type? | 11:40 |

| drvanon_ | the-erm, boot in starting up my pc? | 11:41 |
| ThePendulum | sk1special: With dual screens, I type something like "xrandr --output DFP3 --left-of DFP4", but you have to replace DFP# with your monitor names | 11:41 |
| ThePendulum | sk1special: And for three screens, you probably have to do that command twice, replace the first monitor with the second one, and the second monitor with the third one | 11:42 |
| sk1special | the positoning is fine tho.. i can use them..and i can drag and drop from left screen to right. i just cant drag and drop between individual workstations | 11:42 |

| gaelfx | are there any themes that are actually made for unity? or do I have to install compiz stuff to get new themes? | 12:13 |
| oal | Lesson learnt: Don't upgrade to a new Ubuntu release the first few days. Argh! Unity crashes once I open a wine app, dual screen support is far worse than 7.xx and everything feels sluggish. I thought LTS were supposed to be stabler than usual! | 12:13 |
| airtonix | oal: always wait 6mths | 12:13 |
| oal | airtonix: yeah, this has got to be the worst experience I've had with ubuntu since 6.10 | 12:14 |
| airtonix | oal: subjective | 12:14 |

| ryannathans | nice job floodbot. Random status changing. | 12:19 |
| Nakou | Guys guys guys, i'm in trouble. I do an upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 and my /var/www folder was lost. | 12:19 |
| gaelfx | I would have expected there to be more themes available easily from the repos, so you could just install them from software center, but alas | 12:19 |
| sk1special | stupid floodbot authenticateing me | 12:20 |

| Nakou | Shame on me to dont have made separate partition or backup | 12:22 |
| gaelfx | Nakou: that's because when you installed 12.04, it rewrote everything on your / partition | 12:22 |

| mathews | medfly, dont u have any special key for it on keyboard? | 12:38 |
| Pici | Posglodito: Because the website doesn't know what architecture you're running. | 12:39 |
| smallfoot- | Posglodito, cuz officially 32-bit is recommended, and doesnt do clever javascript check, but get 64-bit version cuz its faster | 12:39 |
| samster34 | if I try to boot (an installed system or a live one), it just freezes on a purple screen, sometimes there's stack/call traces there. if I try to boot with nomodeset, I get an error "stopped waiting for root device, dropping to shell", where my keyboard won't work, so I can't do anything... | 12:39 |
| CountZ | Posglodito: It is theoretically faster to run a 32bit OS | 12:39 |
| CountZ | because there's less data to move around | 12:39 |
| medfly | mathews: I do. | 12:39 |
| medfly | mathews: it doesn't work. | 12:39 |
| mathews | Posglodito, when u read it, try to complete the story | 12:39 |

| irendal | i686 means 32 bits? | 12:41 |
| Posglodito | CountZ, but it's supposed that a SO that moves chunks of 64 bits at once is faster that one that only moves chunks of half the size, isn't so? | 12:41 |
| smallfoot- | irendal, yes | 12:41 |
| CountZ | irendal: yes | 12:41 |
| gaelfx | irendal: yeah, AMD64 would be 64 bit | 12:41 |
| CountZ | Posglodito: it's not the chunk sizes, it is the sizes of pointers, they take double the amount of memory | 12:42 |

| CountZ | Posglodito: go for the 64bit version if your system is capable of it. 32bit is going to die anyway at some point. | 12:46 |
| ryannathans | mattswe: via PAE x86 32bit can access much more than 3GB ram | 12:46 |
| oal | CountZ: indeed... But gnome shell works way better | 12:46 |

| woozly | Guys, how to move Unity Launcher on 12.04 to bottom? | 12:46 |
| Athanasius | apter: Uh, it will probably cost you data usage. | 12:46 |
| smallfoot- | apter, but if you steam over GSM or 3G then probably yes | 12:46 |
| CountZ | I'm not sure I'm liking unity very much | 12:46 |
| Posglodito | CountZ, I see, thanks to all | 12:46 |
| sysRPL | smallfoot-, also, why doesn't ubuntu come with gcc4.7? | 12:46 |
| CountZ | It's designed to mimic the Mac UI | 12:46 |
| Mauhdeeb | !grub rescue | 12:46 |
| smallfoot- | CountZ, me neither, but Unity is 10x better in 12.04 than it was in 10.10 or something | 12:46 |
| CountZ | which I do like | 12:46 |
| apter | smallfoot-: so receiving gps coordinates cost nothing? i am going to stream over wifi (ad-hoc) | 12:46 |

| smallfoot- | Pitel, i think works with proprietary drivers, but not with nouvou open source | 12:48 |
| CountZ | dr_willis: The menu is always at the top, and there's a doc on the left... and apps are primed for full screen usage. How is that different from the Mac experience? :-) | 12:48 |
| oal | smallfoot-: I hear they say so, but I had weird bugs happening in 12.04 that I never saw in 11.10 | 12:48 |
| Pitel | smallfoot-: I have priprietary | 12:48 |
| Pitel | smallfoot-: strange, it works with firefox | 12:48 |
| sk1special | so weird.. the matrix thing runs fine on all the screens. except for the first workstation on the left ( where i opened the terminal ) the launcher will disappear if i click on the background | 12:48 |
| CountZ | Even the window controls are on the left like in OS X | 12:48 |
| smallfoot- | Pitel, check about:gpu in Firefox and Chrome | 12:48 |
| jarco | its possible in ubuntu to have 2 files with the samen name in ONE folder | 12:49 |
| smallfoot- | Pitel, start chromium with --ignore-gpu-blacklist | 12:49 |
| CountZ | jarco: no | 12:49 |
| Pitel | smallfoot-: already did, there are some "GpuProcessHostUIShim: GPU Process Crashed." at the bottom | 12:49 |
| smallfoot- | :( | 12:49 |

| CountZ | jarco: files can even have a space at the end of the name and you just won't see it | 12:50 |
| samster34 | I need some serious help..or a wizard.... if I try to boot (an installed system or a live one), it just freezes on a purple screen, sometimes there's stack/call traces there. if I try to boot with nomodeset, I get an error "stopped waiting for root device, dropping to shell", where my keyboard won't work, so I can't do anything...this prebuilt box is otherwise useless to me, what could be wrong with it to keep any linux from working? it has | 12:50 |
| dr_willis | jarco: the files in a ntfs disk or share? | 12:50 |
| Pitel | smallfoot-: because I;m using chrome dev branch, so maybe thery messed something on their side | 12:50 |
| jarco | CountZ: you got it. It was the space at the end | 12:50 |
| jarco | :) | 12:50 |

| FreeRangeRadical | Question: Can I safely use Compiz with Unity 2D? | 12:52 |
| dr_willis | then its not 2d ;) | 12:52 |
| smallfoot- | FreeRangeRadical, probably, but if your computer can run compiz, why not run unity instead of unity2d? | 12:53 |
| CountZ | samster34: a dangerous thing I once did in a situation like that, was to switch from UID based partitions in /etc/fstab to physical names | 12:53 |
| leo_ | Tentativo di aggiornare la 11.10 alla 12 finito male | 12:53 |
| smallfoot- | dr_willis, maybe you can force 2d in login screen | 12:53 |
| FreeRangeRadical | smallfoot: I wasn't aware that running Compiz was that resource intensive. | 12:53 |
| spartan2276 | oh boy another issue | 12:53 |
| spartan2276 | How can I get my soundcard to work? | 12:53 |
| samster34 | CountZ: how would I do that during setup? | 12:53 |
| smallfoot- | FreeRangeRadical, its not, i notice no problems on gf8600, 4gb ram, my computer is fast | 12:53 |
| spartan2276 | it wont work and this is all I get http://askubuntu.com/questions/115128/why-is-my-sound-card-not-recognized-by-the-control-panel | 12:54 |
| samster34 | CountZ: and what does it accomplish? | 12:54 |
| CountZ | samster34: well just fdisk and find out the partition names (sda1, sda2, etc) | 12:54 |
| spartan2276 | I tried following those directions but none of it worked | 12:54 |
| === esm is now known as Guest91858 | ||
| CountZ | samster34: then replace the GUIDs in /etc/fstab to those names | 12:54 |
| smallfoot- | FreeRangeRadical, if you dont like compiz, you can use metacity or mutter | 12:54 |
| FreeRangeRadical | smallfoot: Mine is an old Celeron M, 2.2GHz, 2GB RAM | 12:54 |
| CountZ | samster34: supposedly on the newer system the GUID's are expected to be different or something of the sort. | 12:54 |
| ryannathans | dnsmasq no longer returns dns queries after upgrading to 12.04, what do??? | 12:55 |
| dr_willis | !blkid | 12:55 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 12:55 |

| === Kaizen is now known as Bazko | ||
| Posglodito | Could one copy the 12.04 .iso to a pendrive and install from the pendrive? | 12:55 |
| dr_willis | you can change uids on a fs. | 12:55 |
| smallfoot- | ryannathans, dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for port 53: Permission denied | 12:55 |
| samster34 | CountZ: hmm, I see. thanks, I'll give that a try. | 12:55 |
| smallfoot- | ryannathans, perhaps sudo? idk | 12:55 |
| irendal | hmm... what package can be missing to provoke a "undefined reference to `pthread_create'" when compiling a program? | 12:55 |
| ryannathans | smallfoot-: I don't have that problem. | 12:55 |
| spartan2276 | I also ran alsamixer and un-muted everything but still not working | 12:55 |
| CountZ | samster34: when in grub, are you able to see the drives and partitions if you type 'ls'? | 12:56 |
| dr_willis | Posglodito: you can image it to usb and boot it | 12:56 |
| ryannathans | smallfoot-: it is listening fine. | 12:56 |
| samster34 | CountZ: I don't know, hold on | 12:56 |
| ryannathans | smallfoot-: just not responding with an ip address. | 12:56 |
| polkilo | can i run Nvidia Optimus on this 12.04 without Bumblbee? | 12:56 |
| dr_willis | Posglodito: but not a normal file copy | 12:56 |
| Posglodito | dr_willis there is a link to image an iso to a pendrive? | 12:56 |
| CountZ | samster34: there are guides via google, on how to deal with a situation such as ours, manually. I'm only referring you to such a guide because I can't for the life of me remember that stuff. It's the kinda thing you do once a year and you forget about it... :-) | 12:56 |

| anax | Hey, all. Does anyone have a MSI CX640 laptop and some experience with Ubuntu on it? | 12:57 |
| dr_willis | Posglodito: tools at pendrivelinux and ither sites. or use dd from a linux box | 12:57 |
| samster34 | CountZ: I don't even know if this is the problem or not...at first it appeared to be a video driver issue | 12:57 |
| Posglodito | I see, thanks llutz, dr_willis | 12:57 |
| assurbanipal | hey guys i ve been trying to install gnome-shell extensions for the past 2 days with no success.. i just reinstalled ubuntu 12-04 with another image, but still.. | 12:58 |
| samster34 | CountZ: willing to try anything though | 12:58 |
| CountZ | samster34: here it was an EFI Boot complication... this stupid BIOS can't just boot CD's unless they have an EFI file on them... :-( | 12:58 |
| polkilo | can i run Nvidia Optimus on this 12.04 without Bumblbee? | 12:58 |
| samster34 | CountZ: ok I'm in grub | 12:58 |
| CountZ | samster34: ok try to 'ls' and check if you see hd(0,1), etc. | 12:59 |
| smallfoot- | CountZ, i think most EFI runs in BIOS-compatibility mode, so then perhaps they can boot from El Torito | 12:59 |
| samster34 | CountZ: ls produces a list of (hd0) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos1) | 12:59 |
| samster34 | CountZ: the hell? I only have ubuntu on this thing.. | 12:59 |
| Pitel | smallfoot-: ok, gonna try chrome beta | 12:59 |
| CountZ | samster34: why msdos, now that is the question :) | 12:59 |
| CountZ | smallfoot-: i'm not sure I understand that | 12:59 |
| spartan2276 | How can I fix my sound? This is all I get http://askubuntu.com/questions/115128/why-is-my-sound-card-not-recognized-by-the-control-panel | 12:59 |
| samster34 | the two partitions should be / and swap, I created them with the setup...why would they be called this | 12:59 |
| assurbanipal | hey guys i ve been trying to install gnome-shell extensions for the past 2 days with no success.. i just reinstalled ubuntu 12-04 with another image, but still..can someone help out of it?it is driving me mad! | 13:00 |
| CountZ | samster34: the names in grub are different. they aren't / and 'swap'. it just tries to be helpful by telling you the type of partition. | 13:00 |
| anax | Ok, another question. Did any of you experience the blank Additional Drivers? There's just nothing populating the list. | 13:00 |
| delinquentme | are there any ssh / encryption channels available on freenode? | 13:00 |
| dr_willis | samster34: thats not what dos means in this instace i belive | 13:00 |
| CountZ | anax: I also have nothing in the list of additional drivers | 13:01 |
| magnumento | Is it possible to get the sqlserv function for PHP installed if I already installed PHP during the Ubuntu installation process? | 13:01 |
| ryannathans | delinquentme: /connect -ssl irc.freenode.net ask in #freenode | 13:01 |
| samster34 | CountZ: yeah, but how does it go from regular (ext4?) to msdos? | 13:01 |
| ryannathans | delinquentme: unless you are talking about crypto | 13:01 |
| anax | CountZ how did you solve it? Did you manage to install the drivers somehow else? | 13:01 |
| dr_willis | samster34: its a dos compat partioned disk | 13:01 |
| CountZ | magnumento: apt-get install php5-sybase | 13:01 |
| smallfoot- | magnumento, edit php.conf file to enable pdo, pdo_mysql, pdo_sqlite | 13:01 |
| Aram | hey, is there a way I can edit a file owned by apt, like /etc/grub.d/10_linux and bless it in such a way so apt won't nag at every update? | 13:01 |
| n1 | anyone using linux on vmware and connects not through usb stick but regular network_ | 13:01 |
| ryannathans | delinquentme: ##crypto | 13:01 |
| smallfoot- | CountZ, sybase?? yuck | 13:01 |
| CountZ | anax: I didn't do anything abou it yet :) | 13:01 |
| magnumento | thank you both, ill give those both a try quick | 13:01 |
| CountZ | smallfoot-: well magnumento seems to need mssql access from php... | 13:02 |
| === soreau__ is now known as soreau | ||
| smallfoot- | CountZ, oh, mssql, yuck | 13:02 |
| CountZ | I wouldn't use mssql with a gun held against my head. | 13:02 |
| CountZ | ok maybe with a gun, yes.. | 13:02 |
| magnumento | heh | 13:02 |
| magnumento | I much prefer MySQL as well | 13:02 |
| SmoothSage_ | haha count :) | 13:02 |
| ryannathans | how does one get dnsmasq working with 12.04? | 13:02 |
| magnumento | but the choice is not mine | 13:02 |
| anax | Countz: Ah, ok. :D I'm trying to install the drivers for GeForce GT520M that's paired with some Intel graphics card. It's some Intel Graphics family. There doesn't seem to be a lot of info about it on the net. | 13:02 |
| samster34 | CountZ: ok, what now? are there any boot options that use basic video drivers, but don't put me in a shell? (my keyboard doesnt work there and I'm unable to do anything) | 13:02 |
| smallfoot- | well try use mssql via PDO then | 13:03 |
| smallfoot- | PDO is like a database abstraction layer in PHP | 13:03 |
| magnumento | smallfoot-, did you mean php.ini? or conf.d? | 13:03 |
| smallfoot- | then you can easily change to other db maybe | 13:03 |
| smallfoot- | magnumento, unsure, check both | 13:03 |
| magnumento | ok | 13:03 |
| CountZ | samster34: at what point does your keyboard stop working? because it sounds like it does work while you're in grub, right? | 13:03 |
| MonkeyDust | CountZ OT, about MySQL, watch this until the end http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/media/marjorie_shapiro.mpeg | 13:03 |
| samster34 | CountZ: yes iot works in grub. during boot, a pretty verbose looking screen, it says "device on port 8 refusing to accept addres 2" then addres 3, 4, 5... then it says unable to enumerate device on port 8, and that's it. | 13:04 |
| steve-o_ | I ran the upgrade from the GUI last night...11.10 => 12.04...went to be while it was still getting packages. This morning, 8 hours later, it is still installing libc-bin. Sounds like the upgrade froze. Computer still working though. How should I recover from this? | 13:04 |
| steve-o_ | *bed not be | 13:04 |
| samster34 | CountZ: then it says "gave up waiting for root device, dropping to shell" but without keyboard that shell doesnt do much | 13:05 |
| Pitel | smallfoot-: ok, chrome beta (19) works fine. | 13:05 |
| rigved | steve-o_: in the GUI, expand the terminal tab. it is waiting for input from you... | 13:05 |
| ryannathans | how does one get dnsmasq working with 12.04? | 13:05 |

| ryannathans | llutz: it runs. What logs do you want me to check? | 13:09 |
| samster34 | CountZ: but I cant boot into the recovery menu thing and choose failsafex there, because I get dropped to the shell with no keyboard if I try to boot that | 13:09 |
| rodd | Dan-The-Man, well, the sources list seems messed up, with tons of entry, not the servers. I think I ran some command I shouldn't have and that seems to be the problem | 13:09 |
| llutz | ryannathans: whatever logfile dnsmasq logs to | 13:09 |

| reaper | slikts you sound like a non *nix person. If everybody talked like you there would be no GNU/Linux. You need to talk to RMS or get a job with MS. | 13:40 |
| Dougie187 | so I did "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda" | 13:40 |

| mneptok | Dougie187: the Ubuntu installer *should* detect UEFI, and install the necessary bits and bobs. having the BIOS set to noot a combo of UEFI and legacy may confuse that detection. | 13:45 |

| mystblade9 | Is the problem where the liveCD hangs at boot because you have an nVidia card fixed yet? | 14:37 |
| zykotick9 | !nomodeset | mystblade9 | 14:38 |
| ubottu | mystblade9: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 14:38 |
| mystblade9 | zykotick9: How do I use nomodeset on the liveCD? It just boots straight into a purple screen. | 14:38 |

| kelvinella | OerHeks, it has no problem in ubuntu 11.04 | 14:50 |
| Maximo | ok | 14:50 |
| kelvinella | or earlier | 14:50 |
| Maximo | let me see that... | 14:50 |
| irendal | Hello, i see on the ubuntu webpage that "32 bits" is the recommended install... Why is that? | 14:50 |
| Maximo | bb | 14:50 |
| jonathan_s | mystblade: still the problem | 14:51 |
| EuropaCar | my update to 12.04 is stuck at downloading the flashplugin installer | 14:51 |
| zykotick9 | irendal: most people don't have 64bit systems... thus 32bit will work for most/all people. | 14:51 |
| ogra_ | irendal, because a survey showed that still more than a third of ubuntu users has 32bit only HW | 14:51 |
| violinappren | !64 | irendal | 14:51 |
| ubottu | irendal: AMD64 and Intel 64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#AMD64_Processors and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. | 14:51 |
| EuropaCar | i didn't have internet at the time so it couldn't download | 14:51 |
| irendal | ok, but with any recent hardware, 64bits is recommended? | 14:51 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | irendal, if you have the correct hardware, then yes | 14:51 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | if not, it wont work | 14:51 |
| zykotick9 | irendal: do you have more then 4GB or RAM? | 14:51 |
| thiebaude | !pae | 14:51 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 14:52 |
| ogra_ | if you have HW that can make use of it, use the amd64 images | 14:52 |
| zykotick9 | irendal: PAE is a "hack" | 14:52 |
| irendal | well, any modern processor is 64 bits I think | 14:52 |
| heckman | PAE works, regardless. | 14:52 |
| EuropaCar | are my messages coming through? | 14:52 |
| * ogra_ has a ton of modern processors that arent :) | 14:52 | |
| irendal | really? | 14:52 |
| Maximo | I have 10.04.0 LTS | 14:52 |
| Guest26155 | Scrubbington_: Can you login just at console, but not at KDE login screen? Are you sure you have the right password? | 14:52 |
| irendal | which ones ogra_ ? | 14:52 |
| zykotick9 | irendal: many of the Atoms are 32bit | 14:53 |
| thiebaude | heckman, yep and i installed the 32 bit for my 64 bit machine and the pae kernel is automatically installed | 14:53 |
| irendal | I don't know that much about hardware in truth. | 14:53 |
| irendal | i see | 14:53 |

| EuropaCar | ok | 14:54 |
| violinappren | EuropaCar: reinstall | 14:54 |
| acicula | Maximo: you can update from lts to lts, so you can upgrade to 12.4 from that. just make sure to backup data first | 14:54 |
| violinappren | irendal: 64bit iso works equally well, just that the hardware is not (yet?) very popular, end of the story | 14:54 |

| soulnafein | karthick87, limiting sudo for those users? | 15:08 |
| eltigre | is Ubuntu 12.04 supposed to have support for audio-output? | 15:08 |
| softcoder | then when picking review package: (software-center:16790): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to show 'none': Operation not supported | 15:08 |

| jrib | mandza: #html and #css can help you with that | 15:09 |
| EuropaCar | does anyone know how to skip a step in distro upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 ? it's supposed to be 'installing upgrades' but is trying to download flashplugin | 15:09 |
| thiebaude | !help | 15:09 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 15:09 |
| jrib | EuropaCar: you cannot skip (not supported) unless you are on LTS | 15:09 |
| eltigre | EuropaCar, don't upgrade if you need audio... audio is broken in 12.04 | 15:09 |
| UnwinnableDonB | I'm trying to get my close/min/max buttons on the left in gnome-shell on 12.04 following these directions, but it's not taking: http://geekum.wordpress.com/2011/05/25/how-to-move-close-button-in-debian-gnome-shell-to-left-like-ubuntu/ Any thoughts? | 15:10 |
| shazzr | Will native support for fingerprint sensors be avaliable in 12.10? Would be nice. | 15:10 |
| mandza | thank you jrib | 15:10 |
| EuropaCar | so if i'm in the middle of the upgrade is there anything i can do? | 15:10 |
| jrib | eltigre: please don't make general statements like that that are not true | 15:10 |
| MonkeyDust | eltigre meaning, i'm listening to music right now | 15:10 |
| husien | violinappren, find 'php.ini' nosuch file or directory | 15:10 |
| jrib | EuropaCar: what do you want to do? | 15:10 |
| nightshadow | hi everybody | 15:10 |
| eltigre | just wanting to elicit any response.... | 15:11 |
| jrib | eltigre: that gets you the wrong kind of attention... | 15:11 |
| EuropaCar | i am stuck in the middle of the update from 10.04 to 11.10 and it's hung on a step | 15:11 |
| jatt | is there a guide to install the radeon property drivers on 12.04 | 15:11 |
| nannes | How can I start my ubuntu in "safe graphic mode"? I'm having a problem with X. | 15:11 |
| jatt | my laptop is overheating since I upgraded to 12.04 | 15:11 |
| EuropaCar | and i wanted to see if i could get past it because it's just 'downloading flashplugin' | 15:11 |
| nightshadow | anyone used backbox before? | 15:11 |
| danielchamorro | hi everyone , I just update to 12.04 but I keep getting disconnected to my wifi and I can update from the software updater..... | 15:11 |
| jatt | I suspect is the graphic card since no process with high cpu utilization are running | 15:11 |
| danielchamorro | just from the terminal | 15:11 |
| jrib | EuropaCar: is it still downloading? You can safely cancel and try to resume the download. Make sure you're using a local mirror in your software sources | 15:11 |
| danielchamorro | running a Dell Mini 10v | 15:12 |
| MonkeyDust | EuropaCar fastes and easiest is to fresh install ubuntu | 15:12 |
| danielchamorro | hmmm | 15:12 |
| nightshadow | I just downgraded from 12.04 on a dell mini 10v too many bugs | 15:12 |
| EuropaCar | i don't think it's still downloading, there's no prgoress indicator but there's nothing in the terminal to tell me what's going on | 15:12 |
| jjp | Hi; is-it possible to activate sound output on multiple devices simultaneously ? Typically, I wanted to display a video for my kids in a train, each one with USB headphones | 15:12 |
| danielchamorro | I have a dual boot with Mac OSX so I dont want to reinstall | 15:12 |
| EuropaCar | it has already 'downloaded all the packages' and it is stuck during the installation of those packages | 15:13 |
| softcoder | anyone? | 15:13 |
| EuropaCar | but one of the 'installation' steps required internet to download flashplugin | 15:13 |
| EuropaCar | and it's stuck there.. | 15:13 |
| EuropaCar | i don't think i can safely abort at this stage | 15:13 |
| tbrown | DanielChamorro: I have a snow leopard disk that is coming to day And I was wondering with the Iboot is it possible to make my pc out of a mac os x | 15:13 |
| jrib | EuropaCar: please don't use enter so much and try to address users you are speaking to by prefixing what you say with their name | 15:13 |
| nannes1 | How can I start my ubuntu in "safe graphic mode"? I'm having a problem with X. | 15:14 |
| jrib | EuropaCar: well I don't see much choice for you | 15:14 |
| danielchamorro | tbrown: I did not use Iboot so I dont know...:( | 15:14 |
| jrib | EuropaCar: personally, I would stop the upgrade, remove the flashplugin-install package, resume the update | 15:15 |
| danielchamorro | tbrown: I used the guides at MyDellMini.com | 15:15 |
| tbrown | danielchamorro: Okay so you got mac os x leopard on your pc | 15:15 |
| EuropaCar | jrib: i am not using a fresh install and i'm updating from 10.10, can i abort the installation and restart it safely? | 15:16 |
| Maximo | did all changes and still don't let me upgrade to new Ubuntu12.04LTS... | 15:16 |
| danielchamorro | yes, its pretty straight forward | 15:16 |
| Maximo | what can I do? | 15:16 |
| jeffrash | downloading the 12.04 ISO now, going to do a clean install on my Dell D420 | 15:16 |
| danielchamorro | if u follow the guides | 15:16 |
| normatif | nannes1: you can start in text mode | 15:16 |
| jrib | EuropaCar: regardless of whether you can do it "safely", I do not see an alternative for you | 15:16 |
| Maximo | went to settings did changes and nothing | 15:16 |
| softcoder | guys i'm on software-center 5.2 | 15:16 |
| danielchamorro | I also added the 2GB ram, I feel the Mini is freezes quite but its running OK now | 15:17 |
| EuropaCar | jrib: ok, i will give it a go, thanks for your help | 15:17 |
| ogra_ | Maximo, upgrades will only be offered automatically once 12.04.1 is out | 15:17 |
| nannes1 | normatif: no, I need the X started in safe mode, couz in normal mode has serious problems | 15:17 |
| softcoder | i see here (http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/precise/main/proposed/software-center) there is a 5.2.1, how do i get it? | 15:17 |
| tbrown | danielchamorro: So do you have a retail disk of snow leopard or deed you use like ideneb or something like that | 15:17 |
| danielchamorro | except for Ubuntu....very disappointed | 15:17 |
| Maximo | ogra: is not out? | 15:17 |
| ogra_ | Maximo, use sudo update.-manager -d (or do-release-upgrade -d) | 15:17 |
| Maximo | correct? | 15:17 |
| L3top | EuropaCar... one second | 15:17 |
| danielchamorro | no, I bought a retail 25£ in Amazon | 15:17 |
| ogra_ | Maximo, 12.04 is out, 12.04.1 isnt | 15:17 |
| === nannes1 is now known as nannes | ||
| Maximo | mine is LTS | 15:17 |
| L3top | EuropaCar: nm... was just backreading | 15:18 |
| tbrown | danielchamorro: Do you think it will be conpatible with AMD Processor | 15:18 |
| ogra_ | right, LTS to LTS upgrades are always only enabled for the .1 releases | 15:18 |
| softcoder | hmm do i exist in this channel? | 15:18 |
| zykotick9 | !schedule | Maximo if you want to see when .1 comes out | 15:18 |
| ubottu | Maximo if you want to see when .1 comes out: The Ubuntu Precise Pangolin release schedule can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule | 15:18 |
| EuropaCar | L3top: so same conclusion? nothing to do but abort and try to upgrade again? | 15:18 |
| L3top | EuropaCar: to be clear... the flashplugin-installer is a package that downloads the flash plugin on execute | 15:18 |
| tbrown | softcoder: I fell that way sometimes to. WHat is your Qestion | 15:18 |
| softcoder | i see here (http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/precise/main/proposed/software-center) there is a 5.2.1, how do i get it? | 15:19 |
| jrib | softcoder: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 15:19 |
| softcoder | precise with latest updates | 15:19 |
| danielchamorro | tbrown: here is the website with the guides in case u havent seen them: http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/mac-osx-guides/ | 15:19 |
| jrib | softcoder: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install software-center | 15:19 |
| L3top | so what it would be doing is trying to download the flash plugin, which is larger if you have slow internet... I would check that you have an internet connection... and all of that before crushing it. | 15:19 |
| joethetree | what is the process for java virtual machine called on ubuntu? (javaw on windows) | 15:20 |
| danielchamorro | Does anyone know why my internet keeps breaking up in Ubuntu 12.4? | 15:20 |
| L3top | EuropaCar: but I would expect it would bomb out or something. | 15:20 |
| nannes | How can I start my ubuntu in "safe graphic mode"? I'm having a problem with X. | 15:20 |
| RobinJ1995 | joethetree, java | 15:20 |
| L3top | nannes: hold shift down on boot, you will get a menu | 15:21 |
| EuropaCar | L3top: it started trying to download many hours ago and since the upgrade was in the middle of installation phase my internet wasn't working (maybe wireless was still being configured or something). i have since connected using ethernet | 15:21 |
| case_ | hi there, i would like to install ubuntu on a Mac Book Air (not a dual boot, a single boot ubuntu), and thus I'm looking for someone experienced in this field, or with knowledge about rEFit. | 15:21 |
| danielchamorro | AND my software update application does NOT work :( | 15:21 |
| nannes | L3top: thanks | 15:21 |
| ogra_ | softcoder, ths is the -proposed archive ... meaning the packages there are in testing mode before they go into -updates ... | 15:21 |
| jrib | !mac > case_ | 15:21 |
| ubottu | case_, please see my private message | 15:21 |
| EuropaCar | L3top: but it looks like connecting to the internet hasn't done the trick, and the installation is still stuck at that step | 15:21 |
| Dan_E | I installed 12.04 and now i have no dock and no icons, any help? | 15:21 |
| ogra_ | softcoder, you can use -proposed (at your own risk, there often are buggy packages in it) by enabling it in the software properties | 15:21 |
| joethetree | RobinJ1995: but when i start a java application, there is only one java process. on windows there would be a java and a javaw process. so, on ubuntu, the java vm is included in the conventional java process? | 15:21 |
| L3top | have you opened a terminal and checked that you are connected? You may need to sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart EuropaCar | 15:21 |
| danielchamorro | Case: why "experienced in refit...I have rEFit but is useful only if u r doing a dual boot | 15:22 |
| danielchamorro | if not | 15:22 |
| RobinJ1995 | joethetree, dunno, think so | 15:22 |
| Top-Roast | I just set up port forwarding on my router, but I still cant see my website from an external location using apache2 on ubuntu 12.04? | 15:22 |
| L3top | EuropaCar: open a terminal and ping -c 2 google.com | 15:22 |
| L3top | That will ping google twice and tell if you have a connection | 15:22 |
| danielchamorro | u can just boot from the USB or CD and isntall normallly...formatting the MAC OSX drive that is...if u dont mind doing so | 15:22 |
| nitzs | Top-Roast: is the firewall on? | 15:22 |
| EuropaCar | L3top: yes, it looks liek i am connected using the ping | 15:23 |
| GG111 | Top-Roast: can you view the site internaly, from your LAN ? | 15:23 |
| Top-Roast | nitzs, i am not sure i didnt think 12.04 came with a firewall on? | 15:23 |
| Top-Roast | gg111 yes I can see it using http://localhost | 15:23 |
| case_ | danielchamorro, i've read it was complicated to make a mac boot air to boot on a usb stick, and that rEFit was helping... but i'll try without | 15:23 |
| GG111 | Top-Roast: not from the own machine, from another host on the network | 15:23 |
| danielchamorro | hmm...I dont see why | 15:23 |
| danielchamorro | I have a mac at home with Windows and OSX with rEFit | 15:24 |
| Top-Roast | I can try that now | 15:24 |
| normatif | Top-Roast: sudo ufw status | 15:24 |
| Top-Roast | status inactive | 15:24 |
| danielchamorro | but if I wanted to isntall Ubnutu on an Air I dont see the point | 15:24 |
| softcoder | software-center is already the newest version. | 15:24 |
| danielchamorro | rEFit is a boot manager for MAC OSX as far as I know | 15:24 |
| case_ | danielchamorro, i've also a macbookpro dualbooting with rEFit, but i'm a little bit scared to brick the Air if I format completly the harddrive. | 15:24 |
| softcoder | however mine is 5.2 and the link i posted is 5.2.1 | 15:24 |
| danielchamorro | it overwrites the one in MAC | 15:24 |
| Top-Roast | my ISP does allow web servers on port 80 so thats not it.. | 15:25 |
| MrKeuner | hello, how can I disable the encrypted home directory that I have enabled during system install? I don't need the contents of home directory to be encrypted anymore | 15:25 |
| jrib | !encrypt | MrKeuner | 15:25 |
| ubottu | MrKeuner: For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory | 15:25 |
| EuropaCar | L3top: any last ideas (thanks) | 15:25 |
| nmittal | Hi.. if i want to use compiz (desktop cube and wobbly windows) which desktop is recommended Unity or Gnome3? | 15:25 |
| danielchamorro | I see | 15:25 |
| nitzs | Top-Roast: are you able to ssh into your server from an external source? | 15:25 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | i wouldnt recommend gnome or unity tbh | 15:26 |
| danielchamorro | Well, I would just try...I'm that kind of a guy I guess | 15:26 |
| danielchamorro | but of course, u do ur thing | 15:26 |
| danielchamorro | :) | 15:26 |
| Top-Roast | nitzs, i havent tried that yet | 15:26 |
| nmittal | WhereIsMySpoon, is that for my question? | 15:26 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | nmittal, sorta | 15:26 |
| nmittal | WhereIsMySpoon, do i have other choices on 12.04 | 15:26 |
| sary | I'm facing this issue http://askubuntu.com/questions/125527/ubuntu-wont-boot-after-12-04-upgrade-timidity-error | 15:27 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | nmittal er dunno on 12.04 | 15:27 |
| paniwani | i'm getting an encoding error when trying to install a program on lucid32: https://gist.github.com/2510145 any help? | 15:27 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | but i have xfce session on 11.04 | 15:27 |
| jrib | MrKeuner: I thought there were explicit instructions there but apparently not. You can just copy your files somewhere not encrypted (after decrypting), remove the .ecryptfs stuff for your user, then put the files back in the path to your home | 15:27 |
| case_ | danielchamorro, thanks for the clues :) | 15:27 |
| danielchamorro | If your Air is still in warranty it would be OK to brick it | 15:27 |
| L3top | EuropaCar: Lets try a couple of things... | 15:27 |
| nmittal | WhereIsMySpoon, Xubuntu (xfce) channel told me that it doesnt work with multiple monitors | 15:27 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | i havent tried multi monitor | 15:27 |
| nmittal | hmm.. ok thanks | 15:27 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | so that isnt an issue for me | 15:27 |
| L3top | Well... dpkg is all locked up for the upgrade right? | 15:27 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | as in i dont need it | 15:27 |
| L3top | EuropaCar: you are doing an upgrade correct? | 15:28 |
| montyawesomeness | Yo linux | 15:28 |
| EuropaCar | L3top: correct | 15:28 |
| montyawesomeness | Where's my kernel | 15:28 |
| nitzs | montyawesomeness: what do yo mean by that? | 15:28 |
| jrib | MrKeuner: actually in the first link there are instructions on how to "remove" the encrypted directory | 15:29 |
| jorvis | Does anyone know how to go back to nouveau drivers from the nvidia ones using only the command-line? | 15:29 |
| L3top | hmm... let me think a sec | 15:29 |
| jrib | jorvis: jockey-text | 15:29 |
| L3top | montyawesomeness: /lib/modules | 15:29 |
| Dan_E | I installed 12.04 and now i have no dock and no icons, any help? | 15:29 |
| nitzs | jorvis: sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current | 15:30 |
| amit_ | In Additional drivesr what should i choose? Nvidia recommened or nvidia version current updates | 15:30 |
| eltigre | I'm being ridiculed for using Ubuntu again.... -.- | 15:30 |
| jorvis | Thanks jrib and nitzs | 15:30 |
| L3top | jorvis: sudo apt-get remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | 15:30 |
| jrib | eltigre: please just stick to support | 15:30 |
| L3top | jorvis: check that if you have an xorg.conf you change the line Driver "nvidia" to Driver "nouveau" | 15:31 |
| amit_ | Any help for me which one to choose in Additional drivers, there showing two nvidia options | 15:31 |
| eltigre | well, audio is broken and I can't find any help on this issue with google yet | 15:31 |
| MrKeuner | jrib, yep, reading it thank you | 15:31 |
| nitzs | amit_: choose the recommended option. | 15:31 |
| amit_ | nitzs, Ok but in system informations graphics in unknown | 15:32 |
| jrib | MrKeuner: also let me suggest renaming things instead of deleting things in case you make a mistake :) | 15:32 |
| L3top | EuropaCar: you are going to have to ungracefully exit the upgrade I fear. | 15:32 |
| L3top | Immediately try again EuropaCar, do not reboot | 15:32 |
| jorvis | L3top: thanks, halfway through it now | 15:32 |
| EuropaCar | L3top: thanks for your help, here goes nothing | 15:32 |
| nitzs | yes. it didn't show up for me too. | 15:32 |

| syk | hello, i am trying to install ubuntu 12.04 64bit but when i boot from usb i am getting "error prefix not set" and when i select an option it just hangs | 15:34 |

| amit_ | nitzs, hm blank screen. and what type of anuimation is there | 15:34 |
| Matthais | hello, I am performing a dist-upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 (x64), and the distribution upgrade keeps downloading the last file over and over again, in an endless loop. Any ideas? | 15:34 |
| ogra_ | ArexBawrin, desktop ises a graphical installer and installs usually faster, alternate has more options | 15:34 |
| amit_ | nitzs, is there something wrong with nvidia that is not showing animation | 15:35 |
| ArexBawrin | ogra_: Thanks, any links comparing the two or something that shows the options of the alternate dl? | 15:35 |
| ogra_ | ArexBawrin, if you dont plan to set up LVM or RAID i would just go with desktop | 15:36 |
| nitzs | amit_: no. the driver works perfectly fine except for the boot animation. | 15:36 |
| amit_ | nitzs, ok | 15:36 |
| ArexBawrin | ogra_: Sounds good, thanks:) | 15:36 |
| jorvis | L3top: Thanks - I can see my laptop screen again finally. Hopefully it stays on this time | 15:37 |

| eggsby | I know the network is `nm-applet` but what about sound and battery? | 15:40 |
| L3top | EuropaCar: I tend to do everything through terminal. Perhaps it is trying to cleanup in the background... give it a few minutes. I don't really know the gui very well. | 15:40 |
| iceman511 | ogra_: so i just install the ubuntu desktop edition on a netbook ? | 15:40 |

| ogra_ | iceman511, right, the unity UI will adapt to the smaller screensize | 15:41 |

| ogra_ | iceman511, the netbook edition only had UI tweaks (which are now in unity) so it wont consume more or less power than the netbook edition did | 15:42 |
| EvilResistance | cute_bettong, what kind of issues? | 15:43 |
| iceman511 | ogra_: fantastic... I heard there is a derivative of ubuntu for older pc's... any idea ? | 15:43 |
| nitzs | iceman511: you can try out this for older computers: http://www.lubuntu.com/ | 15:45 |

| cute_bettong | EvilResistance, the cpu fan constantly runs high, and it has issues with the graphics card becasue it's one of those hybrid jobs an ATI with a intel card as well, getting a "fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!" error and something was hogging cpu at 20-25% then if i moved a window cpu spiked to 100% im worried about my hardware being damaged | 15:45 |
| iceman511 | nitzs: thanks mate :)) | 15:45 |
| CountZ | so how do I get the opengl stuff working with 12.04, has it changed? | 15:45 |

| sweb | L3top: yeah ofcourse | 15:52 |
| wormmd | Now it's just a matter of breaking out of the installer, booting up a live disk, chrooting in and running an emergency GRUB fix there since I now have no internet access :) Thanks, guys, y'all are awesome! | 15:52 |
| y0om4 | do any of you have this problem where the dashbar in 12.04 does not auto hide and the dashbar in 11.10 did auto hide? | 15:52 |

| zykotick9 | sgerbino: the fact that LTS->LTS upgrades aren't planned until 12.04.1 might suggest something... just sayin' | 15:54 |
| dweez | Top-Roast, check your apache config, maybe it's set for internal only by default (that sort of rings a bell | 15:55 |
| nitzs | cute_bettong: since your hardware is quite new, don't expect the drivers to be upto par at this point of time. in the future releases, the drivers will improve. | 15:55 |
| scarleo | Top-Roast, Maybe check AllowFrom? | 15:55 |

| eltigre | It takes me at least that long to forget the horror of the last update ^ ^ | 15:56 |
| sgerbino | zykotick9: :) ok | 15:57 |
| UIM | wine you say... alright then | 15:57 |
| L3top | EuropaCar: you are probably not going to have a clean upgrade... there are probably some unconfigured things lingering which will spit errors on. You may need to sud apt-get -f install or dpkg --configure -a more likely to try and resolve. | 15:57 |
| zykotick9 | UIM: just because you "can" do something, doesn't mean you should. Look for native gnu/linux alternatives for your windows programs. | 15:57 |
| wormmd | UIM, what zykotick9 said. | 15:57 |
| wormmd | UIM, wine provides limited support for apps as well. | 15:58 |

| L3top | UIM windows and linux are very different. Windows programs don't "just work" in linux, while WINE (WINdows Emulator) will work for many windows programs, do not expect it to be happy with everything, and it is not going to be as fast, and is as prone to infection as windows. You are best served finding linux alternatives. Most things can be had for free, and many work much better than their windows alternative. | 16:00 |

| Athanasius | wormmd: mmmhmmm | 16:01 |
| sfears | wormmd: a lot of people broke stuff | 16:01 |
| wormmd | L3top, wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator ;) | 16:01 |
| dweez | meh, ok. Thought there would be (or rather should be) an "add mirror" | 16:01 |
| cute_bettong | nitzs, should i wait a few months before installing ubuntu to assure hardware compatability? | 16:01 |
| dweez | but my uni's isn't in the official list | 16:01 |

| wormmd | cute_bettong, I'm not using that as a cop-out answer, either. | 16:02 |
| sfears | not exactally sure dweez, it's in there somewhere "edit origins" or "edit software sources" | 16:02 |
| cute_bettong | dweez yea i have bleeding edge hardware, google samsung chronos series 7 | 16:02 |
| cute_bettong | wormmd, i know i understand | 16:02 |
| L3top | UIM there is a large database of compatable incompatable programs... I believe here http://appdb.winehq.org/ | 16:03 |
| zykotick9 | !appdb | 16:03 |
| ubottu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 16:03 |
| cute_bettong | dweez why do you think that? | 16:03 |
| sfears | napalm54: sometimes the installation gets stuck, sometimes is a bad ISO or bad USBCreation. you can check the md5 sum of your ISO and maybe try the alternate install after you try your usb install a second time | 16:03 |
| dweez | cute_bettong have to do something special to get it working on 11.10? | 16:03 |
| ksian | how to start GUI in ubuntu 12.04. I have no interface after installing | 16:03 |
| dweez | cute_bettong, I think that because I doubt if a special driver is needed for 12.04 that is different from 11.10 | 16:04 |
| EuropaCar | L3top: oh gosh it looks like it's stuck at teh flashplugin stage again | 16:04 |
| nitzs | cute_bettong: you should use the free driver instead. | 16:04 |
| nitzs | jason^: maybe you should remove the existing linux-firware package and reinstall it if the upgrade happens successfully. | 16:04 |
| EuropaCar | L3top: oh no it has passed that swtage now | 16:04 |

| UIM | L3top: oh i will check it out... | 16:04 |
| zykotick9 | ksian: "sudo service lightdm start" | 16:05 |
| cute_bettong | nitzs, the free driver, the second one listed in the "restricted drivers" dosen't have hardware accellertion for ATI and the first option for the new drivers simply won't install | 16:05 |
| dweez | cute_bettong, then I'd probably wait...or try running the LiveCD and playing around to see if I oculd tell if issues would come up or not (but of course, the LiveCD uses mostly generic drivers | 16:05 |

| sfears | dweez: sudo restart gdm | 16:05 |
| zykotick9 | sfears: gdm was replaced by default with lightdm a while ago... | 16:06 |
| ksian | It was live cd | 16:06 |
| dweez | I know that, but he isn't getting a dm at boot up | 16:06 |
| cute_bettong | dweez ubuntu runs really great from the live cd ^_^ it's after i install it that i have these issues with the cpu fan constantly running, and the gui crashing out on me | 16:06 |
| dweez | I've always just used startx (but that was before all the fancy schmancy dm's) | 16:06 |
| nitzs | cute_bettong: if you can stay away from hardware acceleration for a while, you should install the free driver. | 16:06 |
| zykotick9 | ksian: what graphics card are you using? if you can get to terminal, "lspci | grep -i vga" would tell you if you aren't sure. | 16:06 |
| nitzs | cute_bettong: you can also have a look at other distros out there. | 16:07 |
| dweez | cute_bettong, your best bet then is to wait and watch the ubuntu and your laptop manufacturers forums for others with the same laptop | 16:07 |
| EuropaCar1 | L3top: ah understood, shame that it can affect my whole installation though - maybe there should be a way around individual download problems | 16:07 |

It says GeForce GT520M CUDA on the sticker. Now, the thing is I'm running Unity 2D on 12.04, but I want to go 3D, and I figure I can't because I can't install the drivers. Can Unity 3D run on the Intel Graphics, or do I need to enable my nVidia card? | 16:13 |

| kelvinella | I just insert 11.04 USB and it allows me to upgrade from 12.04 to 11.04 LOL | 16:18 |

| Irendal | hi, I have a question. Why is ubuntu installer so stupid? | 16:25 |
| wylde | anax: yes, from what I read. You basically end up choosing one of the two. | 16:25 |
| thurgood1jenkins | i am trying to figure out the best way to go from m4v to dvd ... most of the google responses are spam or outdated | 16:25 |
| kasii | kelvin, yes how are u | 16:25 |
| wylde | anax: the intel will be the "powersaving" gpu. Nvidia for performance. | 16:25 |
| kasii | kelvin, can u work on this http://imagebin.org/209988 | 16:26 |
| anax | wylde, but tell me. Can the Intel card produce 3D graphics? :) I don't play games, and I don't use any heavy graphic consuming programs, I would just like to enable Unity 3D. Can I do that on the Intel card? :) | 16:26 |
| Irendal | I had ubuntu 11.10 on my sustem. The installer proposed to erase ubuntu 11.10 and install 12.04 instead. | 16:26 |
| Irendal | I chose that option. | 16:26 |
| conner_bw | Hi, I upgraded from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS, it's more or less working. Problem: HUD finds nothing (search for anything is always no results), I can't enable global menus.

| wylde | anax: in all honesty I don't know, my mobo has an onboard intel that can do 3d, but I use a pcie nvidia card instead anyway. (I'm on a desktop) | 16:27 |
| barxool | i'm in kubuntu 11.04, on x86 | 16:27 |
| Irendal | I mean, if Ubuntu is telling me "install 12.04 , replacing 11.10", why does it install it on *other* partition than the one used by 11.10???? | 16:28 |
| Irendal | seriously? | 16:28 |
| sfears | Irendal: because it's trying to dual boot so you don't crash your system if install fails | 16:28 |
| DropsOfSerenity | why does unity not recognize some windows in alt-tab and launcher a lot, it happens with a lot of applications, particularly install scribes from the ubuntu software center and run it, it won't show up in alt-tab or on launcher when running. | 16:28 |
| blitz | doesn't sound like logical default behavior | 16:29 |
| Mauhdeeb | nmittal: Grub2 isn't updating during my install either. Probably just cannot update for some reason. Will have to manually update Grub2, search google for grub rescue and you should find a doc about how to so it from the Live CD | 16:29 |
| sfears | just manually tell it where to install Irendal | 16:29 |
| anax | wylde: ok :) One more question. Do you know which drivers am I running now? I just installed Ubuntu and it worked out of the box. Note that I first installed 10.10, then updated to 11.10, then to 12.04 (sorry if I missed a number). | 16:29 |
| Irendal | I had a dual boot. with windows. I just wanted to replace 11.10 by 12.04. Instead, it decided "oh, i'll go install it somewhere else, that sounds like a good idea !" | 16:29 |
| nmittal | Mauhdeeb, ok i am trying rescue and will reinstall grub | 16:29 |
| wylde | anax: probably the nouveau drivers if you haven't added any graphics drivers yet. | 16:29 |
| rajmahendra | I have upgraded to new Ubuntu today. Once i upgrade completely i have shoutdown and restarted my laptop. when i login to my account my Unity is not working properly. Alt button is not working. I dont see the launcher nor i can see the dash. anyone help me in this ? | 16:29 |
| Pici | Irendal: File a bug then. This isn't the place to just complain. | 16:29 |
| wylde | !nouveau | anax | 16:30 |
| ubottu | anax: nouveau is an open-source nvidia driver included by default since Ubuntu 10.04. Currently, 3D rendering is only partially supported. More information can be found at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ | See !nvidia for the closed-source Nvidia driver. | 16:30 |
| sfears | if you didn't know where it was going to install it (becasue it told you)... it was a good idea | 16:30 |
| Mauhdeeb | nmittal: Just load the Live CD and do it from there, should fix you up | 16:30 |
| Irendal | sfears, it told me it was going to replace 11.10 by 12.04. | 16:30 |
| nmittal | Mauhdeeb, problem is i use the alternate install cd | 16:30 |
| Irendal | I had 4 options, erase all, update 11.10, replace 11.10, manually tell him what to do. | 16:31 |
| Irendal | i chose replace 11.10. | 16:31 |
| cchivers | why doesn't keyboard focus bind to a newly opened program? | 16:31 |
| Irendal | and that's not at all what it's doing | 16:31 |
| Mauhdeeb | nmittal: Hmm, if I remember correctly Grub2 was implemented in 10.10? Any Live CD from then on should work? Any help here guys? | 16:31 |

| anax | Hmm, so, if I install some drivers for the Intel card (if they exist), will that enable 3D? Or, will I have to switch to my nVidia card, and then use it all the time for 3D? | 16:32 |
| Irendal | i don't know what to do anymore. | 16:32 |

| kasii | kelvin, can u work on this http://imagebin.org/209988 | 16:32 |
| blitzkrieg3 | dweez: easiest would be to alter your sources.list | 16:32 |
| blitzkrieg3 | and then use whatever tool you like | 16:32 |
| Mauhdeeb | nmittal: You can also use a server cd as it uses Grub2 as well, if you have one | 16:33 |
| === pangolin is now known as IdleOne | ||
| dweez | well, it's not an official mirror and when I try to add it, it doesn't like the path so it's keeping "Add Source" greyed out | 16:33 |

| Irendal | and i get grub rescue. | 16:34 |
| Irendal | what am i supposed to do now? | 16:34 |
| rajmahendra | can you help me ... Ubuntu 12.04 upgrade Unity is not working in my account.. | 16:34 |

| blitz | so 12.04 makes the first window you maximize always max on the first monitor, how do I turn that off. If I hit maximize on a window on the second monitor I expect it to always maximize over there. | 16:35 |

| k013 | dear experts, with respect to wubi based installation, during booting it says - error prefix not set - i have done a web search for this and not found a solution - is this problem unsolved? | 16:35 |
| sfears | sounds like you need to reinstall grub Irendal | 16:35 |
| Irendal | and the ubuntu installer destroyed my system instead | 16:35 |
| sfears | your boot string is pointing to the wrong partition | 16:35 |
| Irendal | sfears, it just installed it. supposedly. | 16:35 |
| L3top | What is destroyed Irendal | 16:35 |
| Irendal | well, nothing booting anymore? | 16:35 |
| L3top | That sounds like bad grub, not destruction Irendal | 16:35 |
| Mauhdeeb | Boot to live cd and get into a shell to fix Grub | 16:35 |
| anax | Irendal, I haven't listened to your problems from the start, but if you're having boot problmes, boot-repair always worked for me. | 16:36 |

| blitz | also what's with this whole, mouse needs to moving a certain speed to easily go from one monitor to another | 16:36 |
| Irendal | well, i basically just trusted the installer to replace 11.10 by 12.04 | 16:36 |
| Irendal | and it was a big mistake | 16:36 |
| kasii | kelvin, can u work on this http://imagebin.org/209988 | 16:36 |
| Irendal | i'll try another install with manually telling him what to do... | 16:36 |
| anax | Irendal: You upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 through the Update Manager? | 16:36 |
| Irendal | no | 16:36 |
| L3top | It is just the bootloader... Irendal. Not sure why it hosed... and I understand your frustration... but... software was just released yesterday... there are bound to be hiccups, and while annoying, this isn't the end of the world. | 16:36 |
| Irendal | i put the 12.04 CD | 16:37 |
| Irendal | it told me it would replace 11.10 (erase all) and put 12.04 instead | 16:37 |
| kasii | L3top, help me on this http://imagebin.org/209988 | 16:37 |
| Irendal | it's not just the bootloader, i saw during the install that it was using the wrong partitions. | 16:37 |
| Irendal | i have no idea what it did exactly, but it was very wrong. | 16:37 |
| Mauhdeeb | Irendal: I erased my 11.10 and got grub rescue as well, you just have to fix Grub is all | 16:37 |
| sfears | maybe was a bad install, reformat and try again Irendal? | 16:37 |
| L3top | How many partitions do you have? | 16:37 |
| Irendal | problem is that i hope my windows is still there. | 16:37 |
| L3top | Is this a dual boot system Irendal? | 16:38 |
| Irendal | yes | 16:38 |
| anax | Irendal: Ah, ok. Because I installed it over the Update manager, and something got messed up in Grub. It always reported that there is no such partition. To all my OSs. Then I booted with a Live CD, installed boot-repair, and that fixed the problem. :) | 16:38 |
| sfears | your windows should still be there Irendal. | 16:38 |
| L3top | Understood... well lets first check the integrity of windows, ok? Boot to live disk and look around. See whats going on. We will help you as best we can. | 16:38 |
| Mauhdeeb | Irendal: I have dual boot as well. the partitions don't matter, its the disk that matters | 16:38 |

| Endafy | I am about 2 seconds from exploding help me please | 16:47 |

| ceti331__ | hi, has anyone sucessfully used an ubuntu machine as a wireless hotspot for mobile wifi devices ? | 16:47 |
| Ch4rAss | ok I choosed nomodeset installation of 12.04 and now I'm in terminal. What should I fill in to get instllation running? | 16:47 |
| Endafy | erratic: fuck you troll | 16:47 |
| sfears | nmittal: sudo mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc | 16:47 |
| Endafy | I do nomodeset and it boots off the live cd | 16:48 |
| zipace | Endafy: chances are you've run into a plymouth bug | 16:48 |
| L3top | On the bright side Irendal sda1 is likely where your windows partition is. sda7 was probably just a big empty space. | 16:48 |
| nmittal | sfears, done | 16:48 |
| Endafy | zipace: well how do I fix it | 16:48 |
| L3top | Endafy: Is this an nVidia chipset? | 16:48 |
| sfears | nmittal: sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev | 16:48 |
| Endafy | nvidia card | 16:48 |
| Endafy | intel chipset | 16:48 |
| zipace | Endafy: try this: when booting, hit escape until the GRUB menu shows up, then boot recovery mode (AND WATCH THE MESSAGES! that's important) | 16:48 |
| jeffrash | Doing an clean install now. The installer is very clean...more to come | 16:48 |
| jeffrash | thanks | 16:48 |
| Endafy | zipace: no grub | 16:48 |
| Endafy | just goes purple with nothing on the screen | 16:48 |
| Irendal | L3top, yeah, it used some empty space... what i can't understand is why it deleted my former / partition, leaving empty space there. | 16:49 |
| zipace | Endafy: if you get the purple screen it means that it already went beyond grub, trust me | 16:49 |
| Endafy | ive downloaded and burned the iso 3 times | 16:49 |
| zipace | (it's the purple screen of death :P) | 16:49 |
| IdleOne | Endafy: please don't swear in here | 16:49 |
| nmittal | sfears, done | 16:49 |
| sfears | nmittal: sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys | 16:49 |
| nitzs | Endafy: check the md5sum. | 16:49 |
| nmittal | sfears done | 16:49 |
| Endafy | nitzs: hurr durr the md5 is fine on the iso and the disk | 16:49 |
| L3top | Endafy: I would try holding the shift key on boot, see if it can get into recovery console, reinstall the nvidia drivers. Some folks seem to be getting this on certain nvidia GPUs. | 16:49 |
| zipace | Endafy: yes, the ISO is probably just fine, there's a chance you got yourself an unstable version of ubuntu | 16:50 |
| sfears | nmittal: sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash | 16:50 |
| Endafy | downloaded and burned 3 different cds | 16:50 |
| zipace | Endafy: please vut that out, i AM trying to help you here | 16:50 |

| sfears | nmittal: sudo update-grub | 16:50 |
| zipace | Endafy: good, like i said, reboot, hit escape until grub shows up, then boot into rescue mode | 16:50 |
| Endafy | zipace: sorry its just annoying that an LTS is having this many issues | 16:50 |
| nmittal | sfears i see root@ubuntu:/# | 16:50 |
| Mauhdeeb | why the /bin/bash ? Wouldn't /mnt just work? | 16:50 |
| Endafy | zipace: I do and it does nothing ive tried trust me | 16:51 |
| Endafy | im not a noob ubuntu user | 16:51 |
| Irendal | now when i try to re-create / where it was before, it gives it the name /dev/sda9, instead of sda5 as before... | 16:51 |
| Endafy | but ill try again | 16:51 |
| zipace | Endafy: there are literally billions of reasons that could cause this behaviour, and most of them are because of PEBKAC | 16:51 |
| Endafy | not in this issue | 16:51 |
| nmittal | sfears done.. reboot? | 16:51 |
| sfears | nope | 16:51 |
| Endafy | works on some computers | 16:51 |
| Ch4rAss | pls help :(, I choosed nomodeset installation of 12.04 and now I'm in terminal. What should I fill in to get instllation running? ubiquity ? | 16:51 |
| L3top | Endafy zipace: It appears to be limited to a handful of nVidia PCI IDs... from what I have seen. | 16:51 |
| Endafy | doesnt on mine | 16:51 |
| Endafy | mine is most important | 16:51 |
| Irendal | is it possible to rename the partitions so that they match their place in the hard drive? like, sda5 before sda6, etc.... | 16:51 |
| sfears | nmittal: grub-install /dev/sda | 16:51 |
| Endafy | L3top: right | 16:52 |
| sfears | we were on sda right? | 16:52 |
| nmittal | sfears installation finished no error reported | 16:52 |
| anax | Oh, man, this is killing me. Will the Ubuntu community hate me if I post this on forums? There's nothing on my particular laptop model, and there a million guides that all lead to different things, and I have no idea what to do. For those that do not know, I want to use more graphic power on my Ubuntu 12.04. I have a GeForce 520M Cuda with an Intel integrated card. | 16:52 |
| jtaylor | has dodging windows for the launcher been removed in 12.04? | 16:52 |
| Endafy | L3top: would that stop me from getting to grub with shift or esc? | 16:52 |
| Mauhdeeb | sfears: Wouldn't it be update-grub2? | 16:52 |
| zipace | L3top: that could well be, but if he gets the purple screen, ubuntu is already able to detect the monitor, and EVERY modern nvidia gpu supports basic VGA, which is about everything needed to at least boot into a shell | 16:52 |
| trism | jtaylor: yes | 16:52 |
| L3top | anax: check out bumblebee | 16:53 |
| jtaylor | trism: k, do you know why? | 16:53 |
| sfears | ohh, maybe Mauhdeeb, he can update later if it works | 16:53 |
| nitzs | anax: the drivers are not upto par for optimus yet. | 16:53 |
| Endafy | this is bad I mean its acceptable on an interim 6 month release but not on an LTS | 16:53 |
| gizero | Is /etc/environment the preferred way to add /opt/bin to my PATH? | 16:53 |
| nmittal | sfears so reboot now? | 16:53 |
| L3top | Yes... I am quite sure that he will be able to boot into recovery console holding shift zipace | 16:53 |
| erratic | man Im glad that endafy dude left | 16:53 |

| blitz | how do I make it so that my cursor doesn't get stuck in between screens if I'm not moving it fast enough | 16:54 |
| zipace | pretty sure i've read it's escape though | 16:54 |
| sfears | may need to exit the chroot session first, then umount | 16:54 |
| nmittal | sfears, /mnt : not mounted | 16:54 |
| NFisher | What packages do i have to install if i wanted to play .swf files in mplayer? | 16:54 |
| anax | L3top: I read about bumblebee, but at the end of the thread, it said that I don't need it for my Cuda card (or I misinterpreted the text again). nitzs: I just want to enable 3D support, I don't need the full power of the cards, switching, and so on. | 16:54 |
| L3top | lol sorry... ours is shift... ubuntu is space... I gets confused zipace | 16:55 |
| nmittal | sfears now? | 16:55 |
| DropsOfSerenity | why does unity not recognize some windows in alt-tab and launcher a lot, it happens with a lot of applications, particularly install scribes from the ubuntu software center and run it, it won't show up in alt-tab or on launcher when running. Does no one else get this behavior? it seems to happen with a lot of different applications. | 16:55 |
| Mauhdeeb | sudo unmount /mnt/dev | 16:55 |
| zipace | L3top: it's cool, but what do you mean by "ours"? | 16:55 |
| sfears | yup nmittal, should be good to go | 16:55 |
| Mauhdeeb | sudo unmount /mnt/proc | 16:55 |

| NFisher | nitzs, that is not an otion | 16:56 |
| zipace | L3top: ooh, tell me more please | 16:57 |
| anax | L3top, yep, it produced two cards. | 16:57 |
| Irendal | so I guess the algorithm used by the "replace 11.10" option was "delete the / partition of 11.10, create a new / partition for 12.04". It was just missing "AT THE SAME PLACE" -_- | 16:57 |
| nmittal | sfears now the live session wont shutdown | 16:57 |

| NFisher | nitzs, it is possible in totem too, no need to install extra software | 16:58 |
| magma | why the unity bar doesn't auto-hide anymore with this last version update? | 16:58 |
| NoTruth | is this the right channel to ask a quick 12.04 question about power issues? | 16:58 |
| brett_h | Does Ubuntu's Alt-Tab switcher force you to press "Enter" to select an app to choose to, or is mine just messed up? | 16:58 |
| sfears | there's not a shutdown option there nmittal, i would suggest a clean shutdown since we were playing with the real disk | 16:58 |
| L3top | anax the only way I am aware of to utilize the nvidia GPU for accel/compositing is by switching, or manually forcing it. | 16:58 |
| anax | L3top: so, should I go with Bumblbee after all? And will I have Unity 3D then? :) | 16:58 |
| nmittal | sfears.. i did it from another ttf | 16:58 |
| nmittal | sfears, rebooting now | 16:58 |
| nitzs | NFisher: does it work in totem? | 16:59 |
| Ch4rAss | no response, going to install linuxmint :( | 16:59 |
| L3top | anax: That is what I would do. | 16:59 |
| Mauhdeeb | wtg bud | 16:59 |
| anax | L3top: Well, if the Intel card is capable of going 3D, I'm cool with that, too. I just want Unity 3D. | 16:59 |
| LmAt | How do I copy to the clipboard from tty? | 16:59 |
| NFisher | nitzs, it did, but im missing the plugin since reinstalling Ubuntu.. cant figure out what it is thats missing | 16:59 |
| escott | LmAt, export DISPLAY=:0; then use xclip | 17:00 |
| nmittal | sfears nope same screen | 17:00 |
| L3top | anax: the idea behind the dual GPU is a low power no frills one for basic operation to preserve battery life, and a fancy one for fancy things. I would place unity 3d in the fancy category. I | 17:00 |
| LmAt | escott; Thanks! | 17:00 |
| sfears | what's the screen nmittal? | 17:00 |
| L3top | anax: but do expect a hit on battery life. | 17:00 |
| NoTruth | In 11.10, i've laptop battery issues where the OS forces my processor to full capacity no matter what, causing over heating and excess power drains. Does 12.04 fix this? | 17:00 |

| dustinspringman | oh | 17:02 |
| nmittal | sfears, before i never saw grub | 17:02 |
| sfears | can you try a different kernel or recovery mode? | 17:02 |
| Irendal | and what package is the installer? | 17:02 |
| dustinspringman | acicula: thanks for the heads up... i just figured it stayed up for all the "folks that are in the edgers realm".. | 17:02 |
| sfears | maybe try holding down the escape key to display the grub menu? | 17:02 |
| sfears | and try a recovery mode? | 17:02 |

| NFisher | nitzs, well i might have messed up smth here.. i guess i meant flv. | 17:08 |
| sfears | and grub installed without error? i'd say you have a bad kernel, you need to choose the recovery mode and upgrade | 17:08 |

| zykotick9 | rsvp: it's expected that people still running the last LTS, would want a stable new LTS - thus they need the testing between release and the .1 release. | 17:15 |
| sfears | but i think we just need to choose the reocvery console and repair from there nmittal. | 17:15 |
| Irendal | dbdii407, fix for what? you can install the nvidia official drivers | 17:15 |

| sfears | i'm not 100% that the grub menu is there nmittal, but i think it is. Your boot string is pointing to something corrupted or missing and dumping you to a grub resuce when it fails | 17:18 |

| zeeno | ghabit, bye. | 17:18 |
| rsvp | zykotick9, one would think that the alpha, beta, and final would have tested upgrade migration. Everything I have read so far indicates smooth transition -- anyone hear any disaster stories re 12.04 upgrades ??? | 17:19 |
| ghabit | zeeno, why? | 17:19 |
| zeeno | because you're greedy | 17:19 |

| rsvp | will Ubuntu issue an iso for the 12.04.1 point release in July? | 17:21 |
| Aditya|AutoSpace | It's cool enough | 17:21 |
| violinappren | rsvp: yes | 17:21 |
| Aditya|AutoSpace | FYI I installed using wubi.exe | 17:22 |
| Aditya|AutoSpace | Windows installations | 17:22 |
| ZeroAdam | how goes the upgrading? | 17:22 |
| Irendal | how to stop X in ubuntu 12.04? | 17:22 |

| ghabit | guys, anyone can help with sound? I have no sound with fresh install of 12.04 | 17:23 |
| dbtmro | anyone help fix for nvidia on ubuntu 12.04 , x32 please | 17:23 |
| auronandace | Irendal: sudo service lightdm stop | 17:23 |
| ZeroAdam | I meant how is it going for everyone today who is upgrading | 17:23 |
| zykotick9 | Irendal: "sudo service lightdm stop" if you want it temporaily. or add "text" to grub if you want it permanent. | 17:23 |
| Irendal | auronandace, thanks | 17:23 |
| Maya | ZeroAdam: Lol oops. | 17:23 |

| ZeroAdam | Maya: I'm hearing 4 hours for the server upgrade | 17:28 |
| rsvp | samek, did u upgrade via CD or online? | 17:28 |
| rumpe1 | samek, maybe the upgrade-packages are still in apt's cache? | 17:28 |

| d34th4ck3r_ | anyone here know a permanent method for export , besides writing them in .bashrc ? :P | 17:30 |
| zeeno | Aditya|AutoSpace, then I dont think you need to re-paste the same thing to other people.. it looks as if you're spamming | 17:30 |
| ghabit | guys, anyone can help with sound? I have no sound with fresh install of 12.04 | 17:30 |

| drecute | Please may I know what could be causing this: http://codepad.org/5Twm5fYe | 17:30 |
| wylde | d34th4ck3r_: /etc/exports? | 17:30 |
| Maya | I would better off just simply chroot install Ubuntu. xD | 17:31 |
| Aditya|AutoSpace | zeeno : Apologies for that! | 17:31 |
| IdleOne | drecute: See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. | 17:31 |
| d34th4ck3r_ | wylde: no such file. | 17:31 |
| zykotick9 | wylde: i think d34th4ck3r_ means bash exports, not nfs exports | 17:31 |
| Aditya|AutoSpace | !downgrade | 17:32 |
| ubottu | Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. | 17:32 |
| Maya | When one pushes the "Lock Screen" button in Ubuntu 12.04, what command does that trigger? | 17:32 |
| L3top | samek check out gdmap... see if you can find it visually. | 17:32 |
| wylde | zykotick9: I think you're right, but he didn't specify :) | 17:32 |
| violinappren | Aditya|AutoSpace: in a terminal: pastebinit -i /var/log/kernlog | 17:32 |

| Aditya|AutoSpace | Maya: I just installed and was looking around and got reboot | 17:33 |
| samek | L3top: thanks, i'll look into that | 17:33 |
| zeeno | d34th4ck3r_, export is a bash builtin. where other place do you think you'll want to place it? (you mean in /etc/<> or /etc/<bash.d>/ ?) | 17:33 |

| Aditya|AutoSpace | violinappren: I will get my kernel log ASAP | 17:34 |
| ZeroAdam | Maya: sry.. was away.. Yeah I have a server at home i want to upgrade. going to wait until i get home though | 17:34 |
| ZeroAdam | about how long have the desktops been taking to upgrade? | 17:34 |
| sysRPL | L3top, if my mouse ins in a blank area (e.g. anywhere below the files) i cannot lasso select | 17:34 |
| Aditya|AutoSpace | BTW Another problem is that I can't connect my CDMA Modem after 11.04 | 17:34 |
| rsvp | a permanent export is always relative to the parent process -- so in .profile or even in .bash_aliases would work on startup. | 17:34 |
| sysRPL | L3top, it jsut doesn't work | 17:35 |
| Irendal | compiz segfault.... | 17:35 |
| L3top | sysRPL: move to the RIGHT in the ATTRIBUTES | 17:35 |
| zeeno | ZeroAdam, depends if you're doing upgrade via online -- on how fast the net is for you, or offline which may be faster | 17:35 |
| Irendal | what is compiz exactly? | 17:35 |
| ThinkT510 | Irendal: the wm | 17:35 |
| Irendal | :( | 17:35 |
| Irendal | that explains the empty screen | 17:35 |
| ThinkT510 | Irendal: window manager | 17:35 |
| zeeno | Irendal, compiz is that graphical window effect for having wobbly windows | 17:35 |
| rsvp | compiz is 3D candy for the eye. | 17:35 |
| sysRPL | L3top, i have four columns, none of which are attributes | 17:35 |

| consumerism | there used to be a package openoffice.org-headless in lucid. i'm trying to find the same package in precise, but i can't. help? | 17:36 |

| rodd | So, 12.04 won't be available for 10.04 until 12.04.01 (from update-manager). However, will I be able to update from a CD containing the 12.04 iso? | 17:36 |
| ThinkT510 | consumerism: its libreoffice now | 17:37 |
| ZeroAdam | Maya: that pesky warning message, has me thinking something will go wrong and then i'll lose connection and have a mess to deal with when I get home anyway | 17:37 |
| sysRPL | great | 17:37 |
| zeeno | ZeroAdam, Maya, upgrading via ssh (be sure to use the program "screen", if the ssh closes, screen will remain operating on the machine) | 17:37 |
| Sample | are compiz and xmonad two different window managers that occupy the same group and are mutually exclusive? | 17:37 |
| rsvp | rodd, they told me there will be an 12.04.1 iso. | 17:37 |

| rsvp | rodd, July | 17:38 |
| Maya | zeeno, ZeroAdam: You could just use an apt command to continue iirc. | 17:38 |
| Sample | violinappren: interesting. does compiz itself have any tiling capacity or is it mostly about being pretty? | 17:38 |
| ZeroAdam | zeeno: I had to read up on screen today, which is why I was hesitant. So basically just ssh to the server then do a screen session and run the upgrade in the screen session? | 17:38 |
| xatinhu | hi | 17:39 |
| rsvp | rodd, try the upgrade -- if it breaks, then you can always go fresh. | 17:39 |
| Guest12610 | NICK | 17:39 |
| violinappren | Sample: no tiling as far as i know | 17:39 |
| zeeno | ZeroAdam, yes, because if you're ssh terminates, apt will get killed | 17:39 |
| rodd | rsvp, unsure about that, this is my work box not my personal pc | 17:39 |
| zykotick9 | !alternate | rodd notice the upgrade part, you can't upgrade with a livecd | 17:39 |
| rodd | ill wait till july | 17:39 |
| ubottu | rodd notice the upgrade part, you can't upgrade with a livecd: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 17:39 |
| zeeno | ZeroAdam, but if screen is running (screen is a multiplexer, it'll run bash under it on startup) | 17:39 |
| zeeno | ZeroAdam, then screen will remain active, | 17:39 |

| Sample | violinappren: am I correct in thinking that unity is actually what makees things pretty but compiz... is something else? | 17:40 |
| rodd | zykotick9, thanks for pointing that out | 17:40 |
| ZeroAdam | zeeno: will that screen session then also be visible via the monitor attached to the server when I get home | 17:40 |
| zeeno | ZeroAdam, if ssh closes, you simply re-ssh in and then you always type "screen -RR" << which means ask screen to return to any background running tasks | 17:40 |
| ZeroAdam | zeeno: ahh I see | 17:40 |
| rsvp | will a fresh install from 12.04 CD, preserve existing partitions? | 17:40 |
| bravery | the gnome panel on "gnome without effects" does not have any options to modify it.Right clicking on it shows no menu. | 17:40 |
| ThinkT510 | Sample: unity is a shell on top of gnome3, compiz is the default window manager of unity | 17:40 |
| violinappren | Sample: if by making things pretty you mean fancy window effects, then no, it's compiz | 17:40 |
| trism | bravery: alt+right click | 17:41 |
| drewh | hello y'all, I've just updated to 12.04 and the ctrl+alt+KP4-6 aren't working anymore to resize windows. Anyone know about this? | 17:41 |
| Karpus | does ubuntu 12.04 with a nvidia card fallback to nouveau if the proprietary nvidia driver isn't installed? | 17:41 |
| escott | Sonnensturz, nvidia graphics driver bug | 17:41 |
| zeeno | ZeroAdam, the common helper shortcut in screen is , 'ctl-a' then '?' for the list of other shortcuts | 17:41 |
| bravery | trism, thnx, it works! | 17:41 |
| ZeroAdam | zeeno: cool thanks! | 17:41 |
| violinappren | rsvp: many kinds of partitioning options are supposed by the installer including manually specifying what to keep and what to go | 17:42 |
| zeeno | ZeroAdam, i usually dont use more than ctl-a 'c' and ctl-a 'p' or ctl-a 'spacebar' | 17:42 |
| Debolaz | Hmmm, I'm starting to sense that Linux has a few bugs when dealing with slow storage. | 17:42 |

| Monotoko | hey guys... how do I change my repos? The GB ones seem to be being hammered still :( | 17:43 |
| Sample | ThinkT510: so gnome3 runs beneath unity? | 17:44 |
| rsvp | can we get clarified: is ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso is so-called "LiveCD" which CANNOT be used to upgrade ??? and the "Alternate" iso must be used for upgrading ?? | 17:44 |
| ThinkT510 | Sample: yes, unity is built on top of gnome3 | 17:44 |
| ThinkT510 | Sample: in 11.04 is was on top of gnome2 | 17:44 |
| sysRPL | L3mce, okay no problem ... can you tell me how to get the unit search (super key) to see desktop files in my ~/.local/application folder? | 17:45 |
| Monotoko | rsvp, you don't need a disk to upgrade | 17:45 |
| Monotoko | rsvp, which version are you on atm? | 17:45 |
| Sample | ThinkT510: hm okay. and so what does unity do with windows that compiz does not, and visa versa? | 17:45 |
| imbezol | any first impressions of the new version? working ok without problems or have there been snags? | 17:45 |
| imbezol | wondering if i should upgrade right away or let it settle | 17:45 |
| bravery | Ubuntu should have one voip application working well as most of the people use it. I tried all the application available in SC but no fruit.Ekiga was well with 11.04 but here does not connect. | 17:46 |
| ThinkT510 | Sample: no you misunderstand, unity uses compiz as the window manager, unity is basically what you'd call the desktop environment | 17:46 |
| L3mce | sysRPL: view/show hidden files? | 17:46 |
| L3mce | sysRPL: I am not very gui friendly... I barely use them. | 17:46 |
| rsvp | Monotoko, I'm 10.04 -- just burned the CD for ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso -- now wondering if even can be used to upgrade to 12.04. | 17:46 |
| bravery | imbezol, be patient...or do a clean install, it will minimize the number of pain killers | 17:47 |
| Monotoko | rsvp... just use "do-release-upgrade" in the terminal inside 10.04... you do not need the disk | 17:47 |
| ThinkT510 | Sample: if you were running xfce (desktop environment) your window manager would be xfwm4 | 17:47 |
| Monotoko | rsvp, the disk is only for a clean install | 17:47 |
| imbezol | bravery: i find a lot of times the problem with the upgrades is the cruft in the home dir | 17:47 |
| blitz | how do I restore unity2d to it's default settings | 17:47 |
| sysRPL | can anyone tell me how to get the unit search (super key) to see desktop files in my ~/.local/application folder? ... when i use desktop-file-install the fiels work find, but i don't want these files in my /usr/share/application folder | 17:47 |
| imbezol | bravery: i'd like to see a guide that shows what configs to wipe out so it doesn't mess stuff up | 17:47 |
| Sample | ThinkT510: okay so unity relies on compiz to interpret its X window API and render a window (including all | 17:47 |
| Sample | "pretty" effects? | 17:48 |
| sysRPL | unity search | 17:48 |
| imbezol | bravery: a lot of times problems seen with your usual login don't exist if you try a new login | 17:48 |
| bravery | imbezol, I have read many people messed up with upgrade. | 17:48 |
| BadCodSmell | MY install doesn't appear to have updated sources.list with web sources, is there an easy way to update this from bash? | 17:48 |
| b0ot | Where are the startup application entries stored in ubuntu 10.04? | 17:48 |
| rsvp | Monotoko, are you sure? and what about the necessity of the -d as in "do-release-upgrade -d" ? | 17:48 |
| ThinkT510 | Sample: yes, and unity2d uses metacity instead of compiz as the window manager | 17:48 |
| nmittal | i reinstalled ubuntu several times and after installation it keeps coming back to grub rescue prompt... what am i doing wrong?? | 17:48 |
| imbezol | bravery: upgrading to 11.10 was not a good experience. still doesn't work as good as 11.04 did | 17:48 |
| bravery | imbezol, I have see people comment like creating a separate /home, but dont know how | 17:49 |
| Monotoko | rsvp. -d gives you the development version... just a simple do-release-upgrade will give you 12.04 | 17:49 |
| drewh | anyone know why keybinding ctrl+alt+KP5 (& 4, 6) stopped working in 12.04? | 17:49 |
| escott | !home | bravery | 17:49 |
| ubottu | bravery: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 17:49 |
| hdev | Anybody an idea how I access fan control of a vaio vpcsb? it doesn't seem to have pwd entries in /sys/ | 17:49 |

| ThinkT510 | nothing beats a fresh install | 17:50 |
| Sample | ThinkT510: what's Unity2D? a different distribution? | 17:50 |
| BadCodSmell | What's the default post install sources.list for underpants server 12.04? | 17:50 |
| nmittal | ThinkT510, if it works | 17:50 |
| Irendal | I'm confused with the new interface, I have some music running, how do i open the application window that corresponds? | 17:50 |
| nmittal | ThinkT510, my fresh install keeps brining me to grub rescue | 17:50 |
| bsmith093 | is 12 out yet i dont see it. im on the main server | 17:50 |
| ThinkT510 | Sample: no, unity2d is the lesser version of unity, you fall back to unity2d if you can't run full unity (usually due to the graphics) | 17:51 |
| Monotoko | Irendal: top right..click your name... there is the music app | 17:51 |
| Irendal | oh, under the sounds icon. makes sense :) | 17:51 |
| Irendal | thanks | 17:51 |
| rsvp | all right guys -- thanks for all your kind advice! Heading out for early lunch, ciao. | 17:51 |
| ThinkT510 | nmittal: sounds like grub isn't installing properly | 17:51 |
| Monotoko | Irendal, no problem :) it all makes sense once you get used to it ^^ | 17:52 |

| jc-denton | There is wubi, but it does something strange, I have two hds in my box and want to install Ubuntu on one | 17:59 |

| jc-denton | can I launch the installer from a working linux system and install it on another drive / partition? | 18:02 |

| pratz | Monotoko: I am a programmer and I normally prefer, screen, yeahconsole and vim , vim will surely work but I am not sure of the other two | 18:02 |
| StR | in aptitude, what does it mean when a package is flagged with 'c' ? 'i' is for installed, 'p' are the not installed, but what about the c? | 18:02 |

| invincible_mutan | any ubuntu expert here | 18:03 |

| zagabar_ | However the problem is that this makes my alt-gr (the right-alt of swedish keyboards) become a hold-thisbutton-to-change-layout-button and hence I cannot use it for typing. :( Is there a way to disable this behaviour? | 18:31 |

| donavan01 | I need some help ... I have been chasing down a network issues for the past few days... I finally found out that it was the mtu size and after manually changing it through ifconfig I have no most issues ... however it does not stay resident and it also is not linked to the ssid but linked to the wlan0 so even if I made it resident for wlan0 it would just mess up the other connection I use... I tried editing it in the network m | 18:34 |
| xskydevilx | yzhd: I believe you can get rid of them later somehow, if it is really that serious. | 18:34 |

| anax | Hey, guys. I've seen that Ironhide is the continuation of Bumblebee. Which one should I install? | 18:39 |
| Jackneill | i have a program (sublime text 2) i can run it just by running the binary file. how can i make it looks like it is installed properly? eg copy the binary and files and folders to the /usr/bin? or what can i do? | 18:39 |
| nmittal | xskydevilx, no.. i kept hitting escape but it still booted to ubuntu | 18:39 |
| xskydevilx | nmittal, no idea then.. sorry, mate. | 18:39 |
| Hieberrr | Any ideas guys? | 18:40 |
| finish06 | xskydevilx, I thought grub always popped up to give you the option to change boot.... | 18:40 |
| Hieberrr | :( | 18:40 |
| nmittal | is it possible to make sure i always get the grub menu while rebooting | 18:40 |
| nmittal | like a config file setting or something | 18:40 |
| xskydevilx | finish06, Not unless it's a standalone install, I believe. | 18:40 |
| xskydevilx | finish06, though it might be able to change the timeout of the grub menu. | 18:41 |
| ThinkT510 | nmittal: edit /etc/default/grub | 18:41 |
| finish06 | xskydevilx, interesting... that makes my ignorance udnerstandable then lol... i only single boot | 18:41 |
| Foggalong | bravery | 18:41 |

| escott | nmittal, /etc/default/grub | 18:42 |
| wylde | !sound | BBgamer | 18:42 |
| ubottu | BBgamer: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 18:42 |
| finish06 | blitz, what is the problem? | 18:42 |
| escott | !nounity | Hieberrr | 18:42 |
| ubottu | Hieberrr: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 18:42 |
| nmittal | ThinkT510, thanks for assuming i am competent ;-).. so GRUB_DEFAULT=1? | 18:42 |
| vfaronov | hi; precise; is it possible to have custom keyboard shortcuts with the Super (Win) key? I set them in the Keyboard Shortcuts settings but they don't work, only the launcher/overlay thingie shows up | 18:42 |
| escott | nmittal, no thats the option it will boot. look for boot delay | 18:43 |
| blitz | finish06, turning it on in displays yields "required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(3520, 1080), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1920, 1920)" | 18:43 |

| blitz | I never had an issue before in 11.10, but I changed some settings in CCSM and now it's borked | 18:44 |
| blitz | the second monitor is 1600x900, the main one is 1920x1080 | 18:44 |
| nmittal | escott, there is no boot delay | 18:44 |
| xskydevilx | blitz, Well there should be an option in CCSM to revert to the default settings, if that's the issue. | 18:45 |
| nmittal | escott, hidden_timeout | 18:45 |
| xskydevilx | blitz, otherwise, look if there are propriatery drivers available. | 18:45 |
| nmittal | escott, grub_timeout | 18:45 |
| blitz | proprietary drivers installed | 18:45 |

| eitai2001 | Hi guys. Can I ask for help on Ubuntu 11.10 Server here, or is it only for desktop queries? | 18:46 |
| escott | nmittal, prob hidden timeout quiet | 18:46 |
| xskydevilx | blitz, can't recall at the moment.. look for settings on the left hand side or something? | 18:46 |
| finish06 | blitz, do you know what category you edited? | 18:46 |
| blitz | I didn't edit any, I just started it once and closed it | 18:46 |
| ThinkT510 | eitai2001: its fine here too | 18:46 |
| ThinkT510 | !server | 18:46 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications.

| escott | nmittal, thats what i would try. or just read the info docs | 18:47 |
| finish06 | blitz, I think it is preferences, then profile*** & backend and then*** reset to defaults | 18:48 |

| jorrit | Hi all, anyone knows how to install 'technical' software like zlib-dev via muon software center? | 18:49 |
| eitai2001 | Oh really | 18:49 |

| eitai2001 | Cool thanks guys :) | 18:50 |
| ThinkT510 | eitai2001: i'd get rid of webmin alltogether from your system | 18:50 |
| dsfsd | it's all so slow | 18:50 |
| eitai2001 | I will uninstall webmin | 18:50 |
| donavan01 | If I set my MTU to a number lower than the max will it still work or will I keep loosing packets as a result? | 18:50 |
| blitz | I did unity --reset | 18:50 |
| dsfsd | wylde, is there a way to do this without three clicks and 10 seconds? | 18:50 |
| blitz | but it seems to have frozen | 18:50 |
| eitai2001 | is it just straight apt-get remove webmin ... or are there other dependencies I need to remove? | 18:50 |
| blitz | on Initializing ezoom options...done | 18:50 |
| xskydevilx | blitz, Well that's not good. | 18:50 |
| eitai2001 | (I'm a bit of a noob if it's not yet obvious :P ) | 18:51 |
| ThinkT510 | eitai2001: how did you install webmin? | 18:51 |
| eitai2001 | apt-get | 18:51 |
| wylde | dsfsd: alt + tab not working for you? Other than that if you're using 3d and lagging that badly try unity2d? | 18:51 |

| ThinkT510 | !find webmin | 18:51 |

| trism | jorrit: you will almost always have a nicer time installing dev packages from the command line with apt-get: apt-cache search -n mesa dev; for the opengl libraries, sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev; for zlib | 18:51 |
| varikonniemi | to my knowledge it was released yesterday | 18:51 |

| dsfsd | wylde, I don't want to use keyboard shortcuts, nor does anyone else that uses this machine. We just want a nice ui | 18:51 |

| luddite | Hello, can anyone tell me how to change window focus on mouse hover in precise ?? | 18:52 |
| jorrit | trism, yes but I don't always know the package name. | 18:52 |
| jorrit | trism, so it would be handy if I could search in muon software center. | 18:52 |
| ThinkT510 | !ppa-purge | eitai2001 | 18:52 |
| ubottu | eitai2001: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 18:52 |
| dsfsd | wylde, plus, we're running dual atu cards on a 16 gb (ram) dual core machine ... it should not lag | 18:52 |
| dsfsd | *ati | 18:52 |
| wylde | dsfsd: then try unity2d. Or make sure you are using the correct driver for your graphics chipset. | 18:52 |
| dsfsd | wylde, check and check | 18:52 |
| dsfsd | same issue | 18:52 |
| trism | jorrit: that is the point, it is easier to find with apt-cache search, it is almost impossible to find in the gui package managers (even fairly unintuitive in synaptic) | 18:52 |
| wylde | !ati | 18:52 |
| BBgamer | Looks like it's back to Windows then :( | 18:52 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 18:52 |
| jorrit | trism, well with ubuntu software center it was easy. Just had to enable 'Show Technical Items' | 18:53 |
| jorrit | trism, but I don't see that option in muon. | 18:53 |
| dsfsd | wylde, we also have this issue on an intel laptop | 18:53 |
| eitai2001 | Thanks ubottu ... if I just stick the repository used for webmin, it will only remove that stuff right ... I don't want to undo everything else just yet :P | 18:53 |
| wylde | dsfsd: possibly you may find some useful info there, I only use nvidia cards. They seem to have better (although not perfect) support in linux. | 18:53 |
| eitai2001 | by the way, how do I target a msg at a username here? | 18:53 |
| eitai2001 | Been many years since I used irc :P | 18:53 |
| dsfsd | even is the lag was gone, it's nonsense that I need to double an icon attached to the left of my screen -_- | 18:54 |
| ThinkT510 | eitai2001: if you are using a server you really shouldn't be using ppas at all | 18:54 |
| trism | jorrit: never used muon, so I have no idea, sorry | 18:54 |
| heckman | "/msg <nickname>" or possibly: "/query nickname" | 18:54 |

| luddite | Hello, can anyone tell me how to change window focus on mouse hover in precise ?? | 18:54 |
| wylde | !nounity | dsfsd | 18:54 |
| ubottu | dsfsd: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 18:54 |
| hypercube | i have a question about mitm and driftnet can somebody tell me which network i have to join? | 18:54 |
| eitai2001 | it's just to stream media at home, but I didn't want a GUI interface to waste resources | 18:54 |

| wylde | dsfsd: the factoid needs updating but covvers what you need if you want to use a UI more closely matching gnome2. | 18:55 |
| eitai2001 | When you refer to PPA's ... do you mean other people's repositories ... or apt-get in general? | 18:55 |

| syk | ThinkT510: I had to do that to install it. I can't find that option in grub | 19:14 |

| fidel_ | danileigh79: no issues here - but that measn basically nothing ;) | 19:15 |
| eitai2001 | what does that mean? | 19:15 |
| eitai2001 | What's a sarge repo? | 19:15 |
| danileigh79 | fidel_: You think it's worth it upgrading? | 19:15 |
| ThinkT510 | eitai2001: sarge is a version of debian | 19:16 |
| eitai2001 | Like I said ... I'm a noob :? | 19:16 |
| eitai2001 | oh ok | 19:16 |
| fidel_ | danileigh79: how would you define "worth"? | 19:16 |
| eitai2001 | Damn, I wish I knew what I was getting myself into :P | 19:16 |
| ThinkT510 | eitai2001: never mix repos with different distributions, you break your system that way | 19:16 |
| fidel_ | danileigh79: g othe simple way - as you backupped your system already. just give it a try. | 19:16 |
| eitai2001 | I guess then I have to manually remove the packages right? | 19:16 |
| mystblade9 | I can't boot into the liveCD. First I thought it was my video card, but I tried holding shift while booting the liveCD, got into a command line, looked around and tried 'live nomodeset'. But it just hung. | 19:17 |
| eitai2001 | Yeah, I didn't even know sarge was a distribution | 19:17 |
| danileigh79 | fidel_: Nevermind, if you're asking that, I guess it's ok to upgrade | 19:17 |
| eitai2001 | I thought it was just a command or something | 19:17 |
| ThinkT510 | eitai2001: its plain debian | 19:17 |

| eitai2001 | Yeah ... will do from now :P | 19:19 |

| eitai2001 | for auto downloading | 19:20 |
| mystblade9 | violinappren: The LiveCD doesn't use GRUB.. It's some kind of weird command line now, I think it's LILO. | 19:20 |
| violinappren | mystblade9: regardless | 19:20 |
| eitai2001 | By the way, do you have any recommended reading for a beginner like me on working with Ubuntu Server? | 19:20 |
| ThinkT510 | eitai2001: use alternatives | 19:20 |
| mystblade9 | violinappren: It doesn't allow me to remove sections of the kernel line.. all it allows me to do is type 'live' or 'live-install' and the arguments I would like to add. | 19:20 |
| eitai2001 | just out of interest | 19:20 |
| mystblade9 | Also, the help file on the system is wrong. | 19:21 |

| wart___ | hi folks. so i'm a little confused. i'm on an oneiric system which boots into unity (i think); I'd like to have it boot into my own wm (dwm). I have .xinitrc all set up, but I'm not sure what to do from here. Do I need to modify xdm/gdm or something like that? | 19:35 |
| Batshua | burningsands_: Gimme a minute and I'll look. | 19:35 |
| wart___ | in other words, how do i do the alt-ctl-bak equiv. that xorg uses. | 19:35 |
| donavan01 | gmgall I have two zomibes hanging out on my system and have no idea what they are ... I am using xbubntu | 19:35 |
| benjamindaines | it's too late to do anything about it, but I was hopping over from a fedora install (using a +mac iso) earlier and couldn't find a way to keep my home partition... ended up having to nuke the drive. Is that just how it is, or did I miss something | 19:36 |
| benjamindaines | (fedora creates a separate partition for /home) | 19:36 |
| jscoder | krababbel: Or do you mean if I can access the terminal? Like tty1 | 19:36 |
| gmgall | donavan01 Any of them are xfce4-terminal? | 19:36 |
| ManuelSantana | Hi you all | 19:36 |
| Batshua | burningsands_: Okay, you see the list of users? | 19:37 |
| krababbel | jscoder: I meant gnome-shell, yes. | 19:37 |
| Batshua | burningsands_: below it there are two buttons "add" and "delete" | 19:37 |
| violinappren | benjamindaines: why didn't you select manual partitioning in the installer? | 19:37 |
| ManuelSantana | Any good irc server with ssl support? | 19:37 |
| ManuelSantana | for ubuntu? | 19:37 |
| Batshua | burningsands_: below THAT, there's "manage groups". THAT is the button you want. | 19:37 |
| donavan01 | gmgall ... not sure how to tell ... I was just playing with top and noticed them ... how can I check | 19:37 |
| jscoder | krababbel: Didn't work. Any other suggestions? :3 | 19:37 |
| eutheria | i wonder if upgrade i will break my system | 19:37 |
| Batshua | burningsands_: If vbox doesn't exist, that's where you add it | 19:38 |
| benjamindaines | violinappren, I did, but there was no option to keep the partition... would only let me choose "do not use" | 19:38 |
| Batshua | burningsands_: And if it DOES exist, click on it, hit properties, and add yourself. | 19:38 |
| benjamindaines | couldn't select use as for /home (which you can do in the regular live CD, but that won't work on my laptop) | 19:38 |

| burningsands_ | Sorry, but I don't, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, and it doesn't seem to be there | 19:41 |

| pipegeek | I'm currently trying to preseed the precise installer for deployment over a network, using the substantially same preseed we were using for lucid. It's working so far, but the "LOading additional components" phase is going slowly enough that I wonder whether it's not hitting our internal mirror.

| jey | I've tried killing acpid and it respawns but the icon still shows battery instead of ac power | 19:56 |

| yusuuf | Hello! I need show desktop icon for unity! any help plase? | 19:59 |
| pipegeek | smw: Yeah, using preseed. I"m trying to figure out why it's still fetching udebs from the public mirror, and not the value of mirror/http/hostname we specified | 19:59 |
| L3mce | pipegeek what are you trying to do | 19:59 |
| roasted | benjamindaines: bummer. Is there an alternative out there? I'm trying to find a way to encrypt my "Documents" folder as some of my scanned documents have personal information on them. | 19:59 |
| pipegeek | L3mce: make the installer use a different mirror by default | 20:00 |
| a_b0y | is there a way to set up screen lock with the screensaver disabled? | 20:00 |
| roasted | benjamindaines: cryptkeeper looked too easy since I could just select the folder and go to town (based on this guide I read anyway) | 20:00 |
| benjamindaines | roasted, dunno. Let me know if you find one... I need to hide my porn | 20:00 |
| mystblade9 | Hi. I'm at the part of the installer where it asks how much drive space you want to allocate for Windows 7 and Ubuntu, but it's not displaying any pictures on top so I don't know which side represents Windows and which represents Ubuntu. What side represents Ubuntu? | 20:00 |

| ito | hello. i was looking for an extension for firefox that allowed it to be more text. like. looks like th following: http://omploader.org/tMzVtZA | 20:01 |
| MonkeyDust | gameid it's called globalmenu | 20:02 |
| pipegeek | actually, it seems to be ignoring mirror/http/hostname completely | 20:02 |
| jey | is there a way to reset the ACPI subsystem? I'm plugged into AC power but my icon shows battery. | 20:02 |
| roasted | acicula: I thought about it, but I'd like to encrypt just the folder that needs it if need be. I've heard of people having difficulty when they install newer Ubuntu versions when they have a separate home directory. I hate to run into an issue with that... And Documents would be easy to throw on a large flash drive and retain *IF*t that's an issue for me. | 20:02 |
| jey | and is there some place in /proc or /sys where I can find out whether the kernel thinks it's on AC or battery? | 20:02 |

| jrib | a_b0y: please stick to support | 20:03 |
| acicula | roasted: store the encryption key somewhere safely and you can always recover. that said you can configure ecryptfs to just crypt your Documents instead of your home, or anyother directory for that matter | 20:03 |
| violinappren | a_b0y: then use mint :) | 20:03 |
| phibxr | JEAT, where did you put Grub? If you put it on your USB-device, you need to make sure that it's the boot device in your bios. | 20:03 |
| mystblade9 | I'm at the part of the installer where it asks how much drive space you want to allocate for Windows 7 and Ubuntu, but it's not displaying any pictures on top so I don't know which side represents Windows and which represents Ubuntu. What side represents Ubuntu? | 20:04 |
| jaxxdrew | Can someone please help me setup on a triple monitor system? Had it working with white on both sides reverted back. | 20:04 |
| roasted | a_b0y: this channel has a ton of traffic, and for a specific reason. That said, it's hard to follow all conversations in here. AskUbuntu.com and UbuntuForums.com are much nicer for finding help, albeit, likely a bit slower. | 20:04 |
| JEAT | Oh i thought GRUB installs automatically with ubuntu? so where can i get grub? | 20:04 |
| roasted | acicula: is ecryptfs done all by terminal? | 20:04 |
| jey | ito, vimperator.org | 20:04 |
| JEAT | or can i use windows bootloader? | 20:04 |
| pipegeek | is there a relatively complete doc for d-i somewhere that I'm missing? All I've found so far is http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed which is pretty small and out of date | 20:04 |
| jey | ito, there's also pentadactyl, but I think vimperator is more poopular | 20:05 |
| ito | im looking for a firefox mod that makes firefox look like the following: http://ompldr.org/vMzVtZA | 20:05 |
| jrib | ito: vimperator or pentadactyl (newer fork) | 20:05 |
| roasted | JEAT: the Windows boot loader doesn't play nice with dual boot. You'll need to use Grub. You can likely recover Grub manually by booting to your flash drive (live session) and running a few commands. | 20:05 |
| jey | ito: I understand, http://vimperator.org | 20:05 |
| violinappren | Debro: then you need an some sort of an "unattended install" | 20:05 |
| ito | thnks jey | 20:05 |
| JEAT | alright do you have a guide for that? | 20:05 |
| acicula | roasted: it has cli tools yes, it hooks into the login process, if a particular directory is in your home it will try to unwrap the encryption key with your login password and mount whatever directories need mounting using cryptfs | 20:05 |
| acicula | roasted: the default mount is to just mount your entire home, but you can set that to something else | 20:06 |

| ubottu | n00bguy: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 20:16 |
| Monotoko | n00bguy: http://askubuntu.com/questions/9865/how-can-i-configure-unitys-launcher-auto-hide-behavior | 20:16 |

| Monotoko | while he's in an app | 20:16 |
| cute_bettong | Monotoko, ah okies | 20:17 |

| nmittal | how do i fix the screen resolution when i cant even see the full window?? | 20:17 |
| MonkeyDust | !classic | 20:17 |
| ubottu | The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity | 20:17 |
| solexious | when I do-release-upgrade on my 10.04 server I get "No new release found" any ideas why? | 20:17 |
| zykotick9 | MonkeyDust: feel like updating the !nounity factoid to include 12.04's gnome-session-fallback package? anyone else? | 20:17 |
| Monotoko | MonkeyDust, I think we need to update those | 20:17 |
| n00bguy | @Monotoko, i was about to write, how to set it to auto-hide, thanks for the info & the accurate pre-emption of my next q. :) | 20:18 |

| mystblade9 | MonkeyDust: The Windows partition is the only one on the disk. | 20:18 |

| shomon | hi, what's a good alternative to google docs that I can run from ubuntu? or where can I go to ask ? | 20:20 |
| aguitel | i am running xubuntu 12.04 with nvidia-current driver and glxgears say:37 frames in 5.1 seconds = 7.300 FPS ,why ? | 20:20 |
| tim__ | @shomon google docs is the best writer out there libre office is a good alt | 20:20 |
| Monotoko | shomon, openoffice+ ubuntu cloud? | 20:20 |
| n00bguy | @Monotoko, you mentioned auto hide, is there a way to permaneant....ntly get rid of it, since i can press windows key & type in the unity bar to launch whatever i want...launch bar seems kind of redundant | 20:20 |
| Monotoko | *libreoffice | 20:20 |
| freebird | you guys, I've a hp mini 210-1000 and in win7 I can go 1024x768, but in ubuntu, I can only go 800x600, what should I do ? I'm using the classic theme | 20:21 |
| shomon | Monotoko, is that real time collaborative? | 20:21 |
| violinappren | shomon: libreoffice? abiword? | 20:21 |
| Monotoko | shomon, libreoffice? Yes | 20:21 |
| n00bguy | @Monotoko, i meant, is there a way to permanently disable/hide the launch bar ? | 20:21 |
| shomon | thanks tim__ but I need something for shared file access: so that when one person is editing a document the others find it locked | 20:21 |
| jaxxdrew | What is the command to get temperature sensor per core | 20:21 |
| shomon | or more like piratepad.net - so they all edit at the same time | 20:21 |
| Monotoko | n00bguy, hmm... I'm not sure, I don't think there is... but there will be a hack to do it | 20:21 |
| Combatjuan | violinappren: Removing the module doesn't add anything to syslog, installing it adds two lines: The model of the card, then a copyright notice. | 20:22 |
| MonkeyDust | n00bguy the bar is part of Unity, i guess you want another desktop environment or different ubuntu for, like xubuntu | 20:22 |
| zykotick9 | jaxxdrew: when i run "sensors" in a terminal it reports two separate core temps? | 20:22 |
| MonkeyDust | for = fork | 20:22 |
| shomon | Monotoko, ok will look up how libreoffice can be used to edit in real time in a group | 20:22 |
| violinappren | Combatjuan: now in another terminal, try: sudo ifconfig eth0 up | 20:22 |
| marcm | who's bright idea was it to make the text based installer in Ubuntu 12.04 purple-pink (or is it hypercolor)? It looks like crap, it hurts my eyes... | 20:22 |
| Monotoko | shomon, ahhh real time editing... hmm, I don't think it can do that no | 20:23 |
| tim__ | @shomon hmmm.... set up a web ftp with different user accounts | 20:23 |
| zykotick9 | marcm: +1 | 20:23 |
| jlsjonas | shomon: why can't you just use google docs? | 20:23 |
| shomon | Ahh thanks Monotoko saved me lost time there :) | 20:23 |
| n00bguy | Thanks Monotoko, MonkeyDust | 20:23 |
| freebird | please you guys, how do I know if I can go higher than 800x600 in my hp mini 210-1000 | 20:23 |
| nmittal | Monotoko, ++ | 20:23 |
| Monotoko | nmittal, hey pal :) | 20:23 |
| shomon | jlsjonas, I can't depend on it - very fragile business model, and the data has to be secure | 20:23 |
| finish06 | does anyone know of a reason why alt+tab would cause my computer to freeze??? i cannot use alt-tab... anythign I can send to help youfigure it out? | 20:24 |
| tim__ | shomon google docs is great :d i use it all the time, but libreoffice is the offline solution | 20:24 |
| Drone4four | this is chaos | 20:24 |
| shomon | also jlsjonas I'd rather use an open source solution and promote that | 20:24 |
| n00bguy | cant tell u how glad i am to get rid of the monstrosity that is the launch bar, hogging precious real estate on my laptop screen :) | 20:24 |
| Monotoko | Drone4four, what is? | 20:24 |

| Drone4four | this channel | 20:24 |
| cute_bettong | n00bguy, you do realise you can resize that bar right? | 20:24 |
| violinappren | shomon: abiword has collaborative editing, but i never used it | 20:24 |
| LjL | Drone4four: not surprising, it's one day after a new release | 20:24 |
| MonkeyDust | n00bguy use MyUnity to resize the bar | 20:25 |
| Monotoko | Drone4four, it will calm down over the next few days :) and nmittal no problem pal, I always have issues with my boot order, that's why I thought of it when I saw your fdisk ^^ | 20:25 |
| Combatjuan | violinappren: "No such device". And ls /dev/eth0 says the same and ls/dev/net shows only "tun". | 20:25 |
| Drone4four | i've got a 1024x768 resolution becasue i am running a live-USB with nomodeset and this channel is so packed | 20:25 |
| n00bguy | @cute_bettong, didnt know, how to resize ? | 20:25 |
| jlsjonas | anyone knows what the firefox (beta) issue might be? | 20:25 |
| jlsjonas | (that it crashes after a min on 12.04) | 20:25 |
| steveccc | i have done an installation of ubuntu and have an existing home partition on the disk - whats the best util to alter the fstab - is it just terminal and vi? | 20:25 |

| Surlent777 | hey; another upgrade-issue person, oneiric to precise; having trouble upgrading because of some badly-made printer driver package apparently. Running 64-bit, has some 32-bit package I don't entirely recall installing called lexmark-08z-series-driver:i386 with a blank line in "Description" that is making dpkg/apt-get cry. Suggestions on how to proceed? | 20:26 |
| finish06 | freebird, then go to settings and look for the driver option wtihin there | 20:27 |
| n00bguy | @MonkeyDust thanks for the MyUnity suggestion, but the auto-hide worked...so seems good for now | 20:27 |
| zykotick9 | steveccc: nano is more popular then vi 'round here. i know of no tool to edit /etc/fstab (doesn't really need one ;) | 20:27 |
| Surlent777 | correction: almost certain now that this driver is for a printer laying around the house and may have been gotten from their website. Either way, suggestions? | 20:27 |
| n00bguy | Is MyUnity fairly light though, roughly how big(disk size) ? | 20:27 |
| freebird | finish06, man, I've asked, the only where I can see the word drivers are 'adittional drivers' | 20:28 |
| cute_bettong | n00bguy, check your im's | 20:28 |
| Surlent777 | ah, also, and is it expected for it to remove the unity package? was that renamed to something else? | 20:28 |
| steveccc | zykotick9: yes fine with vi - have always done it that way | 20:28 |

| Surlent777 | ubuntu__: should just have to plug it in and go to system settings and turn it on with "Screens" or "Monitors" or however it's labeled; should be fairly straightforward. If you're using an NVIDIA graphics card and have the proprietary driver installed, use "nvidia-config" instead but basically the same idea | 20:33 |

| Surlent777 | RobbieCrash: to increase the size of the space, copy the image as normal, and then simply run gparted or something and tell it to extend the partition to fill in the empty space | 20:45 |
| RobbieCrash | JessicaW what error? | 20:45 |
| JessicaW | RobbieCrash: one sec, let me pastebin it | 20:45 |
| JessicaW | RobbieCrash: http://paste.ubuntu.com/950790/ | 20:46 |
| RobbieCrash | Surlent777, thanks. So CLI I guess just go through parted? | 20:46 |
| Surlent777 | RobbieCrash: I think that should work. I've never tried it outside of gparted but the same principle should apply | 20:46 |
| JessicaW | RobbieCrash: I'm pretty sure it's the way that ubuntu is encrypting the info to windows xp | 20:46 |
| zocky | hello. | 20:47 |
| RobbieCrash | JessicaW you need to update your credentials. What are the permissions on the share? | 20:47 |
| zocky | i just upgraded to 12.04 and now my mouse and keyboard are dead | 20:47 |
| RobbieCrash | Surlent777 thanks | 20:47 |
| freebird | you guys, what would be a goog everest or HWinfo32 for linux ? ubuntu ? | 20:47 |
| JessicaW | RobbieCrash: credentials have been verified. permissions on the share are anonymous full control | 20:47 |
| zocky | i get the login screen (in wrong resolution) but i can't login | 20:47 |
| Surlent777 | RobbieCrash: np. I managed to clone a 300GB hard drive and expand it to a TB drive through this method. Just be warned that the expansion can take more time than actually copying the image | 20:47 |
| rfm | copacetic: you probably missed where it asked if you wanted to install grub in the MBR of the disk, and it just installed it in the partition. you should be able to run grub-install to install it on the disk (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1). | 20:48 |
| xangua | how do I mount an iso¿ I want to use the alternate iso to upgrade from Lucid to Pangolin | 20:48 |
| JessicaW | RobbieCrash: this has always worked for me in the past. sudo mount -t smbfs //WINSERVER/D$ /illumina -o user=user,pass=password,dir_mode=0775,gid=1009,noperm | 20:48 |
| JessicaW | RobbieCrash: using smbfs because XP was having issues when I tried cifs | 20:48 |
| JessicaW | RobbieCrash: problems started after the updates on 4/17. Running 10.04 LTS | 20:49 |
| anternat | hello, how will i install tcl for 10.04? | 20:50 |
| L3top | I used to get those a lot on lucid JessicaW. I am trying to remember how it was resolved. | 20:50 |
| int19h | apt-get install tcl | 20:50 |
| colonelqubit | What's the suggest way to run the gnome magnifier in ubuntu 11.10? | 20:50 |
| JessicaW | L3top: anything will help. I"m pulling my hair out. | 20:51 |
| Surlent777 | I'm trying to upgrade from oneiric to precise myself, and dpkg/apt-get are refusing to work, stranding me mid-upgrade, because of a printer driver package, lexmark-08z-series-driver:i386, that apparently has a "blank line in value of field 'Description'". apt-get upgrade --fix-broken isn't helping. Suggestions? | 20:51 |
| RobbieCrash | JessicaW try actually sharng the illumina folder instead of accessing through the admin share | 20:51 |
| int19h | Surlent777: remove the problem package, and after upgrade reinstall it | 20:52 |
| n1 | anyone using ubuntu in vmware? | 20:52 |
| colonelqubit | Theoretically Orca screen reader should have a tab in its preferences to toggle the magnifier on/off, but that doesn't seem to be enabled in the build provided by unbuntu. | 20:52 |
| anternat | how will i know if tcl is installed? | 20:52 |
| * colonelqubit can't type | 20:52 | |
| RobbieCrash | so mount -t smbfs //winserver/illumina ... instead of //winserver/d$/illumina ... | 20:52 |
| samer | how i can install app? | 20:53 |
| int19h | anternat: if you type the command, than it will be installed, unless it says that the installation failed | 20:53 |
| colonelqubit | Simpler question: Is Orca still a supported application in Ubuntu 11.10 or Ubuntu 12.04, or is it EOL? | 20:53 |
| L3top | JessicaW: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1593047 last two posts | 20:53 |
| anternat | i typed the command with sudo.that s aok | 20:53 |
| Surlent777 | int19h: ...duh. That might work. Thanks. On a related note, when I tried to press tab to see if it would auto-complete, it said "/var/lib/dpkg/status:53532: expected a colon", and it said that sort of thing even before the upgrade. Happen to know anything about that? | 20:53 |

| ubuntu_____ | hello , I have downloaded ubuntu 12.04 and i want to install it on a sata hard disk with only / and /home both with lzo compression .. the installer has no options ? | 20:57 |

| mrAlmond | Hi everyone | 20:58 |
| ubuntu_____ | no i want to use btfs with lzo | 20:58 |
| nca | i7c: yes indeed, however across multiple broswers, getting the same issues. i.e. on newegg.com, the login tab is missing all texts and links | 20:58 |

| mrAlmond | I've just upgraded to 12.04 LTS | 20:58 |
| JessicaW | deranged_: nope. Not sure how to do that. One sec. let me google. | 20:58 |
| anternat | i didnt int19h | 20:58 |
| mrAlmond | but my pc stops at "Stopping system v runlevel compatibility" | 20:59 |
| i7c | nca: what about other pages? like irc webchats etc... and are you sure you didn't disable js? | 20:59 |
| n1 | josefnpat, is it possible at all to bridge from ubuntu to wifi adapter built in a laptop through vmware? I am using usb | 20:59 |

| josefnpat | ni, in virtualbox one can choose what network adapters to use | 20:59 |
| nca | i7c: it's odd, some js elements seem to be working, but quite a few aren't, this is off a fresh install of 12.04, the only things migrated were .bashrc and google chrome settings | 21:00 |
| mrAlmond | how to fix "Stopping system v runlevel compatibility" | 21:00 |
| int19h | anternat: then it's installed | 21:00 |

| jfreak53 | finish06: then fdisk was right | 21:04 |
| beandog | finish06: iow, use blkid | 21:04 |
| finish06 | beandog, why? what is the benefit? | 21:04 |
| beandog | finish06: in case device names change, it uses the disk ID | 21:04 |
| int19h | this is kind of odd.... ive changed the default media player to vlc everywhere i can find, but when ever i navigate to a DVD it still says "open movie player" | 21:04 |

| beandog | finish06: er, partition ID | 21:04 |
| finish06 | kk thz | 21:04 |
| toto__ | Surlent777, maybe you have not seen my first question : i can not use my computer after installing proprietary display drivers so i would like to disable them using a live usb disk to boot on | 21:04 |

| toto__ | ok, i will try this way, thanks Surlent777 | 21:05 |
| finish06 | no, not interesting in keeping track of them. i only use them to serve out media, so no really concern with them. | 21:05 |

| Surlent777 | toto__: good luck; hope that helps | 21:06 |

| lago0n | Most definitely, wasn't the wisest time for me. Oh well. | 21:06 |

| linuxuz3r | is it safe to upgrade | 21:13 |
| zocky | linuxuz3r: depends | 21:14 |
| Tux | linuxuz3r, mostly | 21:14 |
| gogeta | linuxuz3r: yea mirrors are slow and upgrades sometimes go wrong | 21:14 |
| zocky | which means "no" | 21:14 |
| zocky | gogeta: i doubt that was my problem | 21:14 |
| Tux | Your best luck is a backup and complete reinstall | 21:15 |
| gogeta | zocky: ? | 21:15 |
| gogeta | Tux: i always had good luck after the mirrors where not laggy | 21:15 |
| Surlent777 | Tux: http://pastebin.com/FKeJ0DfY | 21:15 |

| Surlent777 | Tux: just noticed a mistake; I copied part of it by hand because the system is being a little weird; ${PackageSec} should read ${PackageSpec} | 21:17 |
| Tux | I see. | 21:17 |
| Surlent777 | Tux: but either way, I'm caught in a loop | 21:17 |

| Tux | Surlent777, is your HDD on the verge of failing? | 21:18 |
| Surlent777 | Tux: nope | 21:18 |
| Tux | okay | 21:18 |
| Surlent777 | Tux: I rather doubt that would have anything to do with it though | 21:18 |
| gogeta | zocky: exc at grub slect the recovery kernel a menu should apper slect command line | 21:18 |
| gogeta | esc | 21:18 |
| Tux | sometimes it can | 21:18 |
| zocky | gogeta: i don't think there's a grub menu. i'll try escape after bios | 21:19 |
| gogeta | zocky: from there if the keybord works you can reconfigure x | 21:19 |
| gogeta | zocky: its there just hidden unless you press esc | 21:19 |
| Surlent777 | Tux: either way, basically I can't continue with this package here, and yet I can't remove it because it being there interrupted everything and the system is considered "broken" and has to be fixed first. It's like a paradox. | 21:20 |
| jeinor | ok, so I upgraded to Precise, downloaded the manager for setting compiz settings (compizconfig-settings-manager), checked the option "Unredirect fullscreen window" | 21:20 |

| Surlent777 | Tux: no dice. Whines about the blank line in 'Description' | 21:23 |

| bucky | pipegeek, Ctl Alt F2 or F3 | 21:25 |
| ThinkT510 | pipegeek: perhaps ask in #debian , ubuntu uses ubiquity | 21:25 |
| zocky | i guess I should try an older kernel, but will that work? | 21:25 |
| gogeta | zocky: i think some configuring didnt compleate | 21:25 |
| pipegeek | ThinkT510: Not on the server installer it doesn't, does it? | 21:25 |
| Tux | ThinkT510, that's for graphical Ubuntu | 21:25 |
| pipegeek | ThinkT510: At least, preseed seems to work the same way | 21:26 |
| Tux | this is text-mode Ubuntu install | 21:26 |
| zocky | gogeta: yeah, i suspect the same | 21:26 |
| pipegeek | bucky: not for serial. That's only if you have physical access and can switch to a different console. Over serial there's only one console | 21:26 |
| gogeta | zocky: if you can somehow send the command sudo dpkg --configure -a4 | 21:26 |
| ThinkT510 | pipegeek: ah, sorry didn't know you were asking regarding server | 21:26 |
| gogeta | 1no 4 | 21:26 |
| gogeta | zocky: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 21:26 |
| pipegeek | I may ask in #debian, but I try to avoid asking questions there about ubuntu | 21:26 |
| Surlent777 | Tux: that command seems to be taking a long time. Is that normal? | 21:26 |
| ddelony | Just curious, is it possible to use USB for a serial console? | 21:26 |

| Boreeas | Whats the advantage of building programs yourself versus installing them from the apt repo? | 21:27 |
| pipegeek | bucky: err, is screen available in the initrd that the server installer runs from? | 21:27 |
| pipegeek | I didn't think it was | 21:27 |
| int19h | screen hasn't been updated for years, tmux is a much better alternative for a terminal multiplexer | 21:27 |
| deranged_ | JessicaW, that SPNEGO seems related to choosing the authentication type, maybe try adding sec=ntlm to -o | 21:27 |
| pipegeek | and I'm not sure how I'd launch it | 21:27 |
| bucky | pipegeek, maybe not | 21:27 |
| pipegeek | bucky: I don't think so | 21:27 |
| Surlent777 | Boreeas: can be optimized for your architecture, or have certain things customized, or simply be a newer version | 21:27 |
| pipegeek | thanks for the suggestion! | 21:28 |

| Gallomimia | Audr i don't think the standard apt sources are on a 24.* address are they? | 21:35 |
| Audr | I have no idea Gallomimia . I don't remember putting in a proxy | 21:36 |
| Surlent777 | I suspect it might be getdeb | 21:36 |
| Surlent777 | checking now | 21:36 |
| Gallomimia | shouldn't it be looking at something with a domain name? | 21:36 |
| Audr | yes | 21:36 |
| Audr | doing 'echo $http_proxy' prints out a newline | 21:36 |
| Surlent777 | okay, maybe not | 21:37 |
| Audr | well, a empty space rather | 21:37 |
| Gallomimia | well read /etc/sources | 21:37 |
| sebsebseb__ | bye | 21:37 |
| sebsebseb__ | bye | 21:37 |
| Audr | check for the IP in there Gallomimia ? | 21:37 |
| int19h | what are some major changes in the new lts version ? | 21:37 |
| Gallomimia | just read it and figure out what it SHOULD be | 21:37 |
| int19h | i dont see any difference between it and 11.10 | 21:37 |
| Audr | ._. | 21:37 |
| Audr | Gallomimia, are you talking about sources.list ? | 21:38 |
| Gallomimia | just understand how sources and apt work. if you get software from an untrusted source, you can rest assured it will do something harmful to your system. | 21:38 |

| Surlent777 | Audr: this 24.* seems to be a proxy. You can't use a proxy as a repository in sources.list. | 21:39 |
| Audr | Surlent777, yah I saw that it was a proxy. I don't know how to get rid of it | 21:40 |
| Surlent777 | Audr: if it's in your sources.list, just open it up in a text editor, find it, and delete it | 21:40 |

| Surlent777 | Audr: if it's a network setting, look at your network applet and see if it's in there somewhere | 21:40 |
| Audr | Surlent777, I doubt it is. I just put in the default sources.list for 11.1 | 21:40 |
| Gallomimia | oooh. 12.04 is the release date. not some stupid version number | 21:40 |
| Gallomimia | i get it. | 21:40 |
| JessicaW | is there any way to keep mount.cifs from encrypting the password? | 21:40 |
| Gallomimia | finally i get it. | 21:40 |
| Audr | Surlent777, how would I tell if it is a network setting? | 21:41 |
| Surlent777 | Gallomimia: 12.04 IS a release number. The versions are marked by the year and month | 21:41 |
| Surlent777 | Audr: if it's listed as a proxy of some sort in your network applet settings | 21:41 |
| Surlent777 | Audr: or really at all | 21:41 |
| Audr | what file is that | 21:41 |
| Youssef_KH | peolpe help i forgot my password on ubuntu 12 lts | 21:41 |
| Gallomimia | what i mean is there's no 12.05 12.06 12.07 | 21:41 |
| Youssef_KH | ???? help me | 21:41 |
| Surlent777 | Gallomimia: ah okay | 21:41 |
| Gallomimia | the next version is scheduled for x and it's version number will be x | 21:42 |
| rebe | is it possible to use drive letters in terminal instead of "/media/sda*/" ? | 21:42 |
| Gallomimia | there are no letters. | 21:42 |
| Gallomimia | maybe you want to mount them as /c/ and /d | 21:42 |
| Gallomimia | or name it whatever you like | 21:42 |
| Gallomimia | read man mount | 21:42 |
| vantage | Hi all, having a small small issues with 12.04 at the moment. 1) avahi complains about having a .local domain on login. Not sure how to change/update that | 21:42 |
| Audr | Surlent777, what file would the network applet settings be in | 21:42 |
| Gallomimia | !mount::rebe | 21:42 |
| Surlent777 | Audr: if you're in X/GNOME/Unity/whatever there should be a network applet in your system tray, or up in the corner, or something. Else, try looking under System in the main menu and look for network settings | 21:42 |
| Youssef_KH | you can assign to a global variable in shell | 21:43 |
| vantage | and 2) On one machine where the time should be, I just get the word "Time" | 21:43 |

| assurbanipal | hi guys, i am on 12.04 and i cannot install any gnome-shell extensions although i ve been trying for two days. I even reinstalled from different image with no luck. can someone help me out of it? | 21:43 |
| Surlent777 | rebe: the letters thing is a relic of MS-DOS. Unix-like systems using a different naming scheme | 21:43 |
| Gallomimia | ghost_: i should think your concern would be a bug report over the newer versions of softwares breaking your working system. | 21:43 |
| deranged_ | JessicaW, maybe try all the sec= options in man mount,cifs and also --verbose? also isnt there an event log on the winxp side you could check? | 21:44 |
| Audr | Surlent777, nothing in the Network Settings area. No proxy that is turned on. | 21:44 |
| JessicaW | deranged_: haha. Great minds think alike. I'm trying the sec= options now. | 21:44 |
| rebe | gallomimia: not sure I understand, surlent777: maybe, but it's shorter :) | 21:44 |
| Audr | what is the grep command to search through the whole system for the IP | 21:44 |

| ghost_ | well its been through out the last few versions of ubuntu so i stayed wih 10.10 but its discontinued now so i am in a predictament because i always use that system for all my media | 21:45 |
| Gallomimia | rebe: it's possible to control where things are mounted, and name the exact directory and file names each drive is mounted at | 21:45 |
| Surlent777 | Tux: seriously that command is still running this can't be right | 21:45 |
| Tux | hmm | 21:45 |
| Gallomimia | for example some people mount /boot and /home on different drives | 21:45 |
| Killuacba | O.o.... nice... i will try it... xD thx a lot ^^ | 21:46 |

| Surlent777 | Tux: what is "grep -A 20 lexmark-08z-series-driver" supposed to find? Maybe we can cut to the chase some other way | 21:48 |
| Audr | Surlent777, is there any where else a proxy would be stored in? I checked in /etc/environment and it wasnt there | 21:48 |
| Gallomimia | !mount->rebe | 21:48 |
| Surlent777 | Audr: I never tried to use one, so I'm not sure. :/ | 21:48 |
| Tux | Surlent777, what dpkg thinks it is | 21:48 |
| Tux | There might be a syntax error... | 21:49 |
| Audr | Surlent777, lol. Problem is, I don't remember putting in a proxy | 21:49 |

| solid_liq | anyone know the name of that tool that will automatically check through available mirrors for your apt repository and select the fastest one? | 21:49 |

| assurbanipal | hi guys, i am on 12.04 and i cannot install any gnome-shell extensions although i ve been trying for two days. I even reinstalled from different image with no luck. can someone help me out of it? Can at least give me a response whether i m the only one with that problem or not? | 21:49 |
| Audr | maybe, i dont mess with the network. someone else might have | 21:49 |
| Audr | Surlent777, how would i check? | 21:50 |
| Surlent777 | Audr: if you know your router's IP address (often something like 192.168.0.1, usually on a sticker on the router itself) and the user name and password for it, you may be able to check it through a web browser | 21:50 |
| meganerd | Audr: I just popped in, did you check to see if a shell variable was set? | 21:50 |
| Surlent777 | meganerd: he tried echo $http_proxy | 21:51 |
| Audr | ^ | 21:51 |
| Audr | It printed out a blank space | 21:51 |

| bc`` | is it possible to put one monitor to sleep, but not the other one? | 21:51 |
| deranged_ | use the power button? | 21:52 |
| Surlent777 | Tux: I think locate might be helpful here. I got an instant list of things, including 5 hits in /var/lib/dpkg/info | 21:52 |
| bc`` | i mean programmatically | 21:52 |

| CJKay | Not to ention a 64-bit program too | 22:05 |
| Surlent777 | int19h: how do you determine if there's activity on one monitor but not another? Most screensavers/power-savers look for keyboard or mouse input | 22:05 |
| meganerd | Audr: the apt.conf would have only set a proxy for apt/synaptic/aptitude etc., whereas the other one sets a variable that applies to all apps | 22:05 |

| dougb_freebsd | JessicaW: is this for just one or two users, or lots? | 22:07 |
| alvesjnr | but when I do ls /dev/sda*, it is not there (??) | 22:07 |
| alvesjnr | any hint about what I'm doing wrong? | 22:07 |
| JessicaW | dougb_freebsd: lots. | 22:08 |
| dougb_freebsd | JessicaW: ok, that's not going to be a good solution then :) | 22:08 |
| dougb_freebsd | how did you get the passwords in originally? | 22:08 |
| JessicaW | dougb_freebsd: it was working fine... then installed some security updates of which winbind and samba were a part. and can no longer connect to the XP share | 22:08 |
| dougb_freebsd | JessicaW: I get that part :) | 22:09 |
| dougb_freebsd | .... thus my comment that it's not uncommon to need to rebuild the password file after upgrading samba | 22:09 |
| JessicaW | dougb_freebsd: sudo mount -t smbfs //WINSERVER/D /backup -o user=user,pass=password,dir_mode=0775,gid=1009,noperm | 22:09 |
| dougb_freebsd | how was your current password file originally created? | 22:09 |
| JessicaW | dougb_freebsd: I don't know. I wasn't here for that. I inherited this machine. | 22:10 |
| dougb_freebsd | Oh, so you're saying that if you execute that command line, it no longer works? | 22:10 |
| int19h | JessicaW: does it mount it and you just cant write to it, or it just activly rejects it | 22:10 |
| JessicaW | dougb_freebsd: correct. I commented out fstab for now and I'm just trying to get the command to work from CLI. | 22:11 |
| dougb_freebsd | Ok, crank up the debug level on smbd and look in the logs | 22:11 |
| JessicaW | verbose shows mount error(13): Permission denied | 22:11 |
| JessicaW | it's a NT_AUTH_LOGIN error | 22:12 |
| JessicaW | but I know the credentials are correct | 22:12 |
| twodogs | Trying to resolve a permission issue, tried to chown /etc/bind/slave to bind user... it took for a few minutes and then reset. | 22:12 |
| JessicaW | or... nt login something. hang on. | 22:12 |
| L3top | JessicaW I take it that post was not helpful? (was away) the last most especially? | 22:12 |
| JessicaW | [155559.961039] Status code returned 0xc000006d NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE | 22:12 |
| JessicaW | [155559.961051] CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -13 | 22:12 |
| JessicaW | [155559.961066] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13 | 22:12 |
| * L3top calls this a bug in 1004. | 22:14 | |
| JessicaW | L3top: Yeah, I read through it. gave me some ideas, but no. Since it's local users on that machine it didn't work. | 22:14 |
| int19h | is it xp home, or xp pro ? | 22:14 |
| JessicaW | pro | 22:14 |
| int19h | hrmmm | 22:14 |
| JessicaW | it's VERY VERY frustrating. | 22:14 |
| L3top | It seems to have to do with the multiple requests in the pam... oh... oh I see.... yeah, you can't edit that many files. | 22:14 |
| JessicaW | verbose shows "mount.cifs kernel mount options: unc=//WINSERVER\D$,ver=1,rw,user=user,sec=none,ip=172.16.1.1,pass=********" | 22:15 |
| JessicaW | which was making me guess it has something to do with the password encryption. I tried all the different sec= options from man page. | 22:16 |
| dougb_freebsd | JessicaW: yeah, I was just going to suggest that | 22:16 |
| dougb_freebsd | IIRC xp encrypted its passwords differently than later versions, and there used to be a knob for htat | 22:16 |
| int19h | are you using mount -t cifs or mount -t smbfs ? | 22:17 |
| JessicaW | I've tried both | 22:17 |
| dougb_freebsd | haven't tried dealing with an xp system for a while though, so I'm not up to speed on any changes | 22:17 |
| L3top | Again... it seems to do with the multiple PAM_MOUNT calls in all of the configs. To be perfectly honest, I expect this bug to be exasserbated due to networking issues. I would stress test the network and see if anything can be addressed there. | 22:17 |
| JessicaW | also, I don't think it's just 1004. I installed 1204 on vmware real quick and had the same problrm. | 22:17 |
| L3top | It is in BOTH 1004 and 1204 | 22:18 |
| L3top | it is not in the 11s | 22:18 |
| JessicaW | BOTH. IKR? | 22:18 |
| eutheria | oh the font rendering is so much better | 22:18 |
| JessicaW | dunno. don't have a copy of 11. | 22:18 |
| eutheria | and skype follows the gtk theme! yay | 22:18 |
| === marlinc is now known as Marlinc | ||
| JessicaW | I could try it. would take like... 15 mins. but, when I install samba and winbind, it's going to be the same version for all three right? | 22:18 |
| int19h | did you try sec=none ? | 22:19 |
| JessicaW | I do a clean install, then apt-get samba winbind | 22:19 |
| JessicaW | yep | 22:19 |
| JessicaW | mount.cifs kernel mount options: unc=//WINSERVER\D$,ver=1,rw,user=user,sec=none,ip=172.16.1.1,pass=******** | 22:19 |
| JessicaW | (that's the verbose output) | 22:19 |
| ztag100 | hey, | 22:19 |
| JessicaW | p.s. thanks to all those helping out. This is a MOST perplexing issue. | 22:19 |
| int19h | it is indeed | 22:20 |
| JessicaW | BTW, just in case any of you missed it, my windows 2008 server shares and win 7 shares are working fine. | 22:20 |
| dougb_freebsd | JessicaW: do you have admin privs on the windows box? | 22:20 |
| michalchik | Hey folks | 22:20 |
| JessicaW | yes | 22:20 |
| deranged_ | there must have been another change, the changelog for winbind and samba doesnt look like anything relevant lately, and you said it was just after a recent upgrade correct? | 22:20 |
| Drone4four | i've got 6 or more windows open from my last session with chromium and now that i am using unity i have to close a window to see the next one. how do i cycle through different browser windows in unity? | 22:20 |

| ztag100 | I'm about to setup a Dual-Boot, and an idea just occured to me, is it possible to put the "home" and "users" directory on the same partition? | 22:20 |
| JessicaW | yeah, I installed some updates 4/17 | 22:20 |
| dougb_freebsd | JessicaW: try creating a user with no password, and see if that works | 22:20 |
| JessicaW | one sec. | 22:20 |
| michalchik | I have a weird problem with my printer. Anyone good with that? | 22:21 |

| ztag100 | Window's | 22:21 |
| int19h | http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18986 is the answer imo.... i just dont know what else you can do | 22:21 |

| mierker | I need help | 22:22 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: no, since the windows directory should almost certainly be ntfs, whereas your linux home directory should be ext[234] | 22:22 |
| harold | hi guys. I downloaded 12.04 beta 2 one week ago. What should I do now to get pu to speed? | 22:22 |
| ztag100 | Ah, didn't think about that | 22:22 |
| dougb_freebsd | harold: first, download the actual release :) | 22:22 |
| ztag100 | shoot | 22:22 |
| trism | !final | harold | 22:23 |
| ubottu | harold: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Precise and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 12.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. | 22:23 |
| int19h | harold: just apt-get update&&apt-get dist-upgrade | 22:23 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: what you can do is set up a primary partition as fat32 and share it between systems | 22:23 |
| mierker | !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 22:23 |

| FloodBot1 | mierker: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:23 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: that's what I do | 22:23 |
| harold | I downloaded the beta2 last week... is that the "dev version"? But ok, I'll try it out, thanks! | 22:23 |

| dougb_freebsd | mierker: stop shouting, and ask your question | 22:23 |
| mierker | I want to install ubuntu 11.10 | 22:24 |
| n1 | anyone running ubuntu on vmware? | 22:24 |
| dougb_freebsd | harold: it would be faster and easier for you to install the new cd | 22:24 |
| dougb_freebsd | n1 yes | 22:24 |
| dougb_freebsd | mierker: that's not a question :) | 22:24 |
| mierker | i do not want unity | 22:24 |
| ztag100 | dougb_freebsd: how does that work? | 22:24 |
| Takyoji[laptop] | For some reason my desktop freezes at gdm (no mouse/keyboard reaction), with a graphical issue, Xorg appears to have 100% CPU utilization, and Nouveau is being used, thoughts? | 22:25 |
| mierker | Please | 22:25 |
| mierker | Waht should i Do?= | 22:25 |
| escott | !nounity | mierker | 22:25 |
| ubottu | mierker: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 22:25 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: it depends on how complex you want to get .... you can manhandle windows to make d:/data/user be the user directory, but that requires editing the registry | 22:26 |
| mierker | thats not possible | 22:26 |
| mierker | Gnome shell is not good | 22:26 |
| mierker | The fallback i hate | 22:26 |
| mierker | and unity is really shit | 22:26 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: you may find it easier to just organize your files on the data directory, and create shortcuts in windows, and symlinks in ubuntu | 22:27 |
| Lint | that´s BS, I installed gnome-shell, but it fails to run | 22:27 |
| mierker | no wonder | 22:27 |
| ztag100 | I just wan't someway to have one partition for all my media and files | 22:27 |
| deranged_ | then use kubunut or xubuntu | 22:27 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: win7 also gives you a little more flexibility in defining your libraries/folders for things like documents, photos, etc. | 22:27 |
| gogeta | mirak: you have other window managers | 22:27 |
| dlentz | mierker, so what desktop environment do you like? | 22:27 |
| Lint | dougb_freebsd, I doubt that you know what a shortcut is | 22:28 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: yes, that is what I'm describing | 22:28 |
| mierker | Gnome 2 | 22:28 |
| gogeta | mierker: give xfce a try then | 22:28 |
| deranged_ | lol | 22:28 |
| mierker | no xfce has a big reason why i dont like it | 22:28 |
| dlentz | if fallback doesn't work for you, then try linux mint and use MATE or Cinnamon | 22:28 |
| L3top | That is tough Takyoji[laptop]... out of curiosity, what is the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA | 22:28 |
| gogeta | mierker: or mate | 22:28 |
| Lint | mate is unmaintained | 22:29 |
| taime1 | how can i start notify-osd manually? | 22:29 |
| mierker | fallback works for me but it is not good | 22:29 |
| JessicaW | dougb_freebsd: created user with no password, verified share is set to everyone full control, anonymous login full control, and full control for that password-less users as well. | 22:29 |
| gogeta | Lint: sense when | 22:29 |
| dlentz | Lint, Mate is mainatained | 22:29 |
| mierker | XFCE i dont like because of the name | 22:29 |
| dougb_freebsd | Lint: rather than insulting my knowledge base, why don't you express your concern in a concise manner? :) | 22:29 |
| * L3top thinks some people need to come to grips with the fact that gnome is going away. | 22:29 | |
| taime1 | no way | 22:29 |
| Takyoji[laptop] | L3top: 05:06.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000] [10de:0185] (rev c1) | 22:29 |
| gogeta | mierker: the name lol | 22:29 |
| taime1 | it stays | 22:29 |
| taime1 | gogeta: agreed.. lol | 22:29 |
| Kveras | Is there a way to make the Unity Launcher use the same solid color as the taskbar? | 22:29 |
| dlentz | mierker, then i think you're beyond help... | 22:29 |
| mierker | why | 22:30 |
| mierker | I want gnome 2 | 22:30 |
| mierker | not others | 22:30 |
| gogeta | mierker: you can all it fail windows manager as long as it works well | 22:30 |
| dlentz | then use mate or just use lucid/10.04 | 22:30 |
| JessicaW | dougb_freebsd: you can see there was no password this time from verbose output. | 22:30 |
| JessicaW | dougb_freebsd: mount.cifs kernel mount options: unc=//WINSSERVER\DDrive,ver=1,rw,user=testuser,ip=172.16.1.1 | 22:30 |
| L3top | I believe that that chipset has fallen out of support Takyoji[laptop]. You might consider the nvidia proprietary driver... which... I think is 173... I will look it up. | 22:30 |
| n1 | dougb_freebsd: I am connecting to net via usb stick (asked me automatically when installed it to use that connection) but would like to bridge ubuntu to built in wifi adapter in latop so it can recognize wireless networks in range. Installed wicd network manager and enabled bridge in vmware and updated ubuntu. any idea? | 22:30 |
| Lint | dougb_freebsd, shortcuts in windows are not related to symlinks in any way | 22:30 |
| dougb_freebsd | JessicaW: did the mount work though? | 22:31 |
| JessicaW | dougb_freebsd: nope | 22:31 |
| jeinor | In Ubuntu 11.10, I could tick the option "Unredirect fullscreen window" and it worked after reboots. When I tick this option in 12.04, Compiz crashes on reboot. Anyone know why? | 22:31 |
| JessicaW | dougb_freebsd: still getting that same error | 22:31 |
| ztag100 | man, I hate windows... | 22:31 |
| JessicaW | dougb_freebsd: mount error(13): Permission denied | 22:31 |
| JessicaW | ME TOO. | 22:31 |
| Lint | ok, what I should do to make gnome-shell to work on ubuntu? it works in Fedoar, it works in opensuse, but not in ubuntu for some reason | 22:31 |
| gogeta | Kveras: yes install the myunity app it can adjust the transparency | 22:31 |
| L3top | yeah Takyoji[laptop]... you will have better luck with nvidia-glx-96. It is just quite old. | 22:32 |
| dougb_freebsd | Lint: yes, I understand that, but functionally they do similar things, and will solve his problem | 22:32 |
| dougb_freebsd | JessicaW: that's wacky | 22:32 |
| JessicaW | dougb_freebsd: it makes NO SENSE. | 22:32 |
| Kveras | gogeta, I tried this. but the panel is still transparent - even at 0% transparancy. I am using the radiance theme, and I think the launcher would look best if it was the same solid color. | 22:32 |
| Takyoji[laptop] | L3top: happen to know how to remove the nouveau package as well? | 22:32 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: this is not a hard problem :) I multi-boot my systems, and this solution works for me | 22:32 |
| JessicaW | dougb_freebsd: and, I just sent in our info to purchase canonical support for this. :| | 22:33 |
| L3top | sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau Takyoji[laptop] | 22:33 |
| selite | GRUB doesn't load I get something like FILE BOOT/BCD because I ran chkdsk on win7 what should I do? | 22:33 |
| ztag100 | dougb_freebsd: it's not cuz of that, I just REALLY don't like windows | 22:33 |
| taime1 | how can i start notify-osd manually? | 22:33 |
| Takyoji[laptop] | L3top: thank you for your help, I'll see if it all works here in a moment | 22:33 |
| Lint | JessicaW, Ubuntu cannot mount shares on Windows servers | 22:34 |
| gogeta | selite: | !grub | 22:34 |
| ztag100 | I'm being forced to use it (need to run a few apps and games) that are windows only | 22:34 |
| deranged_ | JessicaW, the really annoying thing will be in the end it will turn out to be like one line on a config file or one switch in windows reg | 22:34 |
| gogeta | !grub | 22:34 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

| L3top | any time... I will be here if you have issues... make sure that on boot after install of nvidia that your xorg.conf reflects the driver change, ie replace Driver "nouveau" with Driver "nvidia" if neccesary Takyoji[laptop] | 22:34 |
| trism | taime1: just run it: /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd; although there isn't any reason to, since it is started automatically when someone sends a notification | 22:35 |

| JessicaW | deranged_: Yeah. That's kinda what I"m thinking. a $700 one line change. | 22:35 |
| Lint | it will turn out that Ubuntu still doesn´t support NTLM2 in 2012, despite it was introduced in Windows 2000 | 22:35 |
| gogeta | selite: then use a usd stock | 22:35 |
| gogeta | usb | 22:35 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: fyi, the order I usually do things in when installing a new system is: 1. Boot ubuntu cd, use gparted to slice the disk, 2. install windows (in the first partition), 3. install ubuntu | 22:35 |
| mierker | does somebody has an idea | 22:35 |
| mierker | why ubuntu has made unity | 22:35 |
| JessicaW | Lint: Ubuntu can TOTALLY mount shares on windows servers. | 22:35 |
| gogeta | mierker: they didnt like gnome shell | 22:36 |
| ThePendulum1 | mierker: Because Gnome 3 wasn't ready in time | 22:36 |
| taime1 | trism: it isnt starting for some reason. thats why i want to try and run it manually | 22:36 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: that will save you time and get grub installed without windows mucking it up | 22:36 |
| L3top | Takyoji[laptop]: I am not positive, but you may be able to run nvidia-xconfigure or perhaps it is nvidia-xconfig... | 22:36 |
| mierker | ThePendulum1: that is not right | 22:36 |
| Lint | JessicaW, not on 2003+/Vista+ | 22:36 |
| gogeta | mierker: the hate is unfounded with 12.04 its snappy does what it needs to do and stable | 22:36 |
| ztag100 | two partitions? | 22:36 |
| mierker | ThePendulum1: gnome 3 was ready | 22:36 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: 3 ... one for windows, one for your data, one for ubuntu | 22:36 |
| gogeta | mierker: gnome 3 at launch was horrrid | 22:37 |
| dougb_freebsd | (actually I use a lot more than 3, but I'm keeping it simple ) | 22:37 |
| mierker | but nothing was as horrible as units | 22:37 |
| ztag100 | where should I put the data partition | 22:37 |
| mierker | but nothing was as horrible as unity | 22:37 |
| ThePendulum1 | mierker: It wasn't ready (enough) at the time they needed to implement it and develop with it | 22:37 |
| aragorn5 | is there a program like SineGen for Ubuntu which can sound a sine wave using a slide? | 22:37 |
| JessicaW | Lint: sure it will. I have two 2008 server shares, 2 windows7 shares, and 1 vista share. It's only the XP one I'm having a problem with. | 22:37 |
| n1 | dougb_freebsd: I am connecting to net via usb stick (asked me automatically when installed it to use that connection) but would like to bridge ubuntu to built in wifi adapter in latop so it can recognize wireless networks in range. | 22:37 |
| gogeta | mierker: guess you forget anything pre lts is testing | 22:37 |
| ztag100 | what order is your disk? | 22:37 |
| mierker | The first time you can give unity a try...is now | 22:37 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: usually it's easiest to put the data partition second, and the ubuntu partition last | 22:37 |
| mierker | but gnome 3 you can use since 1 year | 22:37 |
| n1 | is it possible with vmware? | 22:37 |
| L3top | mierker: are you just here to complain because Ubuntu has not made the same decisions as you would have? | 22:38 |
| ThePendulum1 | mierker: I didn't like Unity in 11.04 and 11.10, but it has improved in 12.04 and it has become more useable now. I expect it to be amazing as of 13.04 | 22:38 |

| L3top | ztag100: there is not really a good answer to that... I can tell you minimum you want about 10 gb... maybe as little as 8... but how much you SHOULD use... as much as you feel is needed for whatever you do. | 22:39 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: depends, how big is your disk? I have a 15G partition for / and /usr, and it is only using 3 G so far ... I make it ridiculously big because I tend to install a lot of stuff, and I'm lazy about uninstalling it | 22:39 |

| freebird | you guys, I've a graphic card, in ubuntu (8086:a011), in win I can go 1024x768 | 22:40 |
| dlentz | jhartzell, do you have more info (error messages)? | 22:40 |
| krababbel | ztag100: you should have as much swap as you have ram too at least for hibernation. | 22:40 |

| freebird | what should I do ? things are too big | 22:41 |

| jhartzell | Right now, Boot0009 says ubuntu, as I just ran the installer and am still on the liveCd. | 22:41 |
| L3top | freebird What driver are you using and what card is it? actually... lspci -nn | grep VGA | 22:41 |
| gogeta | Krabbe: around a gig is fine | 22:41 |
| aragorn5 | Never mind. I found a Windows program which works in WINE. | 22:42 |
| jhartzell | But if I reboot the computer, I know that it won't boot at all, it'll fall back to PXEBoot, and if I reboot to the liveCD, it'll not show ubuntu on the list anymore. | 22:42 |

| L3top | Takyoji[laptop]_: did you run nvidia-xconfig(ure)? | 22:42 |
| ztag100 | I messed up | 22:42 |
| dougb_freebsd | n1: no ... I'm plugged into a router | 22:42 |
| ztag100 | does that work? | 22:43 |
| JessicaW | cheryl_: for example "cd /mnt" or "cd name_of_directory" it stands for change directory. | 22:43 |
| krababbel | ztag100: my install currently is 12g | 22:43 |

| cheryl_ | JessicaW, Aha, I just remembered ls, which allows me to see the sub dirs!! :) Thanks, so empowering to be helped by a woman!! :) | 22:46 |
| mierker | uzf: because ubuntu 10.04 hates 12.04 | 22:46 |

| JessicaW | cheryl_: NP!!! :D | 22:46 |
| uzf | whats the upgrade path, ubuntu+1 is invite only | 22:46 |
| mierker | uzf: because ubuntu 10.04 hates 12.04 | 22:46 |
| dougb_freebsd | krababbel: yes, mostly ... but even just the win7 install takes up a huge chunk | 22:46 |
| dougb_freebsd | ... and it gets worse with every hotfix | 22:46 |
| L3top | Takyoji[laptop]_: cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 22:46 |

| JessicaW | yeah, it's LTS to LTS | 22:47 |
| L3top | then run the nvidia-xconfig again | 22:47 |
| shredding | Got it, its launchpad. | 22:47 |

| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: format it as fat32 (probably safest to do that in windows) | 22:50 |
| AshleyWaffle | Monotoko: $2.50 | 22:50 |
| AshleyWaffle | Monotoko: It's just like a few quick icons for my android app. | 22:50 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: once you format it, windows will just "see" it and you'll be able to use it like any other disk | 22:50 |

| jfreak53 | digitalvaldosta: you have to manually create it in custom file under /etc/grub.d I think it is | 22:58 |
| dougb_freebsd | digitalvaldosta: just give up on that, what you probably want instead is for grub to boot the last OS you used by default, right? | 22:58 |
| ztag100 | there's alot of seeders for 12.04 | 22:58 |
| violinappren | digitalvaldosta: /etc/default/grub can be used to make an entry the default regardless of its order | 22:58 |

| Maya | violinappren: Lol, I wish I can refund for time. | 23:03 |

| Daghdha | Hi, i have ubuntu 12.04. When i set my desktop background to BLACK i can't read the titles of the applications anymore when they are maximized. Known issue? | 23:04 |
| Fyodorovna | NurseDad, hard to say really thousands of people involved in putting apps in independent of each other in many places, I guess find the responsible party and email them. Not really a realistic idea overall. | 23:04 |
| L3top | Maya: can you give me an example of an OS that was not buggy the day of release? | 23:04 |
| Maya | violinappren: I don't have time, but I do know how to program one. | 23:04 |
| sfears | nevermind sys, proc & dev are what you need. | 23:04 |

| violinappren | Maya: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved | 23:04 |
| cherez | Huh, I'm on a btrfs partition, and it looks to have a @ directory that contains the root? | 23:04 |
| cherez | Is that what's confusing grub-probe? | 23:04 |
| sfears | is that in update-grub or grub-install? | 23:05 |
| digitalvaldosta | I have Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04. I just installed 12.04 yesterday followed by running: sudo mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/09_os-prober. This would have worked great however Sony has a recovery partition that wound up being the top entry. What I would like to do is Have Win7 listed first then Ubuntu. (That way my wife won't get confused and boot into Ubuntu. She gets freaked out on something new. Despite my best eff | 23:05 |
| digitalvaldosta | orts at converting her to Ubuntu) | 23:05 |
| L3top | Takyoji[laptop]: I also wonder. Try sudo service gdm stop and see if you can make it go without desktop pegging everything | 23:05 |
| cherez | sfears: That's when apt-get tries to do anything with grub. | 23:06 |

| L3top | Takyoji[laptop]: sudo apt-get install pastebinit then lshw | pastebinit | 23:06 |
| sfears | digitalvaldosta: you can manually edit /etc/boot/grub.cfg, and will be good as long as you don't update anything. | 23:06 |
| Takyoji[laptop] | L3top: stupidly, this is actually a server with Ubuntu Desktop installed, for some reason it has an ancient GPU thrown in it though; and the reason for needing the desktop is for the Windows sysadmin to be able to work on it graphically. xP | 23:07 |
| dougb_freebsd | digitalvaldosta, yeah, your best bet is to teach your wife to find the windows partition ... what might help you there is to increase the autoboot timeout to a really large number in the config file | 23:07 |
| digitalvaldosta | sfears: that is what I don't want to do. That will be changed after an update | 23:07 |
| violinappren | digitalvaldosta: make windows the default entry, hide the menu and give it a 5 second timeout or so.. all can be done in /etc/default/grub | 23:07 |
| sfears | if grub is the only problem your having cherez try update-grub and grub-install /dev/sda # assuming here your 1st HD is sda | 23:07 |

| Maya | L3top: If I had time to do an OS, mines wouldn't be so buggy. | 23:08 |
| sfears | why not disable the grub menu altogether and auto boot to a particular entry digitalvaldosta | 23:08 |

| digitalvaldosta | Fyodorovna: how reliable is that? | 23:08 |

| reonfus | Hi, I'm new with ubuntu. My question is: if I update my 11.10 to 12.04 from Update Menager, will I lose my data? Or the files are save and will not be deleted then? | 23:08 |

| rodayo | I can't get a solid back ground image for the gnome terminal....changing the opacity for the solid color also changes the opacity of the image...is anyone else having/had this issue? | 23:09 |
| sfears | tell me NOT to | 23:09 |
| L3top | Maya: I am sure... so the answer is none. There is NO general release OS without bugs on the day of launch. Thanks. | 23:09 |
| dougb_freebsd | reonfus: you shouldn't lose anything, no ... but you should have good backups of all your data anyway, right? :) | 23:09 |
| Fyodorovna | digitalvaldosta, Never used it myself but recommended by the top grub people at the ubuntu forum, as a gui answer. | 23:09 |
| sfears | tell ME not to | 23:09 |
| violinappren | reonfus: it's a hit-and-miss process... | 23:09 |
| digitalvaldosta | Fyodorovna, hmm. interesting. | 23:10 |
| milamber | reonfus: the goal is that your data will be safe. however, you should *always* have backups. | 23:10 |
| sfears | i'll edit grub.cfg & update grub just so'z i canz has do it one more 'gain | 23:10 |

| violinappren | zylith-away: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs | 23:11 |
| sfears | sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash cherez | 23:12 |
| Guest95208 | 12.04 does not boot up from hard disk after installation | 23:12 |
| L3top | Takyoji[laptop]: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bu; reboot | 23:12 |
| sfears | and make sure the partition you mount to /mnt has a / | 23:12 |
| Maya | Guest95208: How did you install Ubuntu?? | 23:12 |
| L3top | Takyoji[laptop]: lets let xrandr try and handle it better | 23:12 |
| Fyodorovna | digitalvaldosta, if you edit the 40_custom it will be need to be redone on any grub update, the main grub wiki tells you how to use that custom feature. | 23:12 |
| sfears | cherez | 23:12 |
| dougb_freebsd | digitalvaldosta: violinappren's suggestion is probably the best .... make windows default, and hide the menu by default | 23:12 |
| digitalvaldosta | sfears, that is what I thought. | 23:12 |
| cocolos | how can I install ubuntu onto a thumbdrive? | 23:13 |
| OerHeks | zylith-away, The ia32-libs package was a hack to get 32-bit packages installed on a 64-bit installation. Since Oneiric, Multi Arch has been added | 23:13 |

| BoyBlunder | cocolos, pendrivelinux.com | 23:13 |

| digitalvaldosta | dougb_freebsd, how do you do that? (that sounds like the submenu feature I read about) | 23:13 |
| OerHeks | zylith-away, use sudo apt-get install package-name:i386 | 23:13 |
| cocolos | BoyBlunder: thanks | 23:13 |
| libertybell | It is hardly possible to hit the lower right window corner for resizing it with the mouse | 23:13 |
| digitalvaldosta | a link is fine | 23:13 |
| dougb_freebsd | cocolos: boot with the thumb drive in place, and you should be able to install to it just like any other drive | 23:13 |
| libertybell | Used to work in the beta | 23:13 |
| cherez | sfears: /dev/sda1 has a directory named @ that appears to be my root directory. I think that's probably causing a lot of the confusion. | 23:13 |
| sfears | cocolos: alt+f2 and type startup disk creator | 23:13 |
| cocolos | dougb_freebsd: don't have cd drive | 23:13 |
| dougb_freebsd | digitalvaldosta: you'll have to read the docs for that, sorry I don't have any examples | 23:14 |
| zylith-away | once installed do I need to reboot | 23:14 |
| escott | cherez, btrfs? | 23:14 |
| sfears | @ is not your / directory cherez | 23:14 |

| escott | sfears, could be a butterfs snapshot | 23:14 |
| digitalvaldosta | dougb_freebsd, ok. But what y'all are talking about, is that the submenu for grub? | 23:14 |
| sfears | noted escott | 23:15 |
| cherez | sfears: It looks to contain everything from /. | 23:15 |
| dougb_freebsd | digitalvaldosta: see previous answer :) | 23:15 |
| digitalvaldosta | I still have the docs open with that info | 23:15 |
| escott | sfears, you need to specify the snapshot id as a mount option | 23:15 |
| sfears | lost me escott... go on... | 23:15 |
| escott | cherez, ^^^ | 23:15 |
| pipegeek | Where can I get the source package for debian-installer as used in precise? The .deb in the repos seems to just be the docs | 23:15 |
| pipegeek | I'd like to poke around in it | 23:15 |
| cocolos | dougb_freebsd: so pendrivelinux.com will do it? | 23:15 |
| jhartzell | Apparently some computers do not properly support EFI boot, so I need to use BIOS mode, and I don't know how to do that. | 23:16 |
| dougb_freebsd | cocolos: no idea, I've never used that | 23:16 |
| cherez | escott: How do I do that? | 23:16 |
| sfears | jhartzell: try the alternate install cd | 23:16 |
| violinappren | pipegeek: apt-get source packagename | 23:16 |
| cocolos | anyone else know how I can install ubuntu ONTO a usb drive | 23:16 |
| jhartzell | Ah. Thank you! | 23:16 |

| cocolos | sfears: I don't have a live cd | 23:17 |
| cocolos | sfears: I would like to have ubuntu already installed | 23:17 |
| L3top | cocolos: startup disk creator is for USB | 23:17 |
| ztag100 | I'm stupid | 23:17 |
| dougb_freebsd | cocolos: you didn't answer my question .... do you have 2 usb drives? | 23:17 |
| escott | cherez, check the @/etc/fstab it should have the correct formulation for the mount options | 23:17 |
| pipegeek | violinappren: Yes, I know. But that package doesn't actually seem to have d-i in it | 23:17 |
| ztag100 | I for some reason planned this out for 80 GB not, 120 | 23:17 |
| ztag100 | GB | 23:17 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: sorry to hear that :) | 23:17 |
| cocolos | dougb_freebsd: sorry yes I do | 23:18 |
| cocolos | dougb_freebsd: should I just place iso in one and install on the other? | 23:18 |
| Maya | cocolos: You can also use Unetbootin. Great piece of software to make linux .ISO bootable from USB drive | 23:18 |
| escott | cherez, worst case you should be able to access @ as if it were a folder, but make sure you are accessing the correct correct subvolume/snapshot if there are multiple | 23:18 |
| dougb_freebsd | cocolos: ok, create the usb installer, then boot with both drives :) | 23:18 |
| socomm | Is there something similar to winamp on ubuntu? I know there was xmms back in the day but that one is discountinued it looks like. | 23:18 |

| Maya | socomm: Use Banshee. | 23:18 |
| zivester | audacious2 | 23:18 |

| ztag100 | wait, no I didn't | 23:19 |
| ztag100 | my math is horrible | 23:19 |
| cocolos | dougb_freebsd: ok I guess I will use what Maya mentioned | 23:19 |
| pipegeek | violinappren: I can check it out from svn.debian.org but that doesn't tell me what snapshot is used in ubuntu precise | 23:19 |
| * L3top agrees with Maya... crosses versions well as it rewrites the vesamenu which causes some cross version probs... and frankly specific code often has to be written to make native tools boot... though Ubuntu has it. | 23:19 | |
| cocolos | Maya: thanks | 23:19 |
| Takyoji[laptop] | L3top: Issue persists; also, when I rebooted with fbdriver set, gdm-binary and init were holding near to 100% CPU utilization | 23:19 |

| ztag100 | I mean primary | 23:20 |
| Takyoji[laptop] | Sadly, I don't have any extras at hand for now | 23:20 |
| Takyoji[laptop] | But can in the future | 23:20 |
| ztag100 | does the data partition have to be primary or logical? | 23:20 |
| Takyoji[laptop] | I'll likely have it do a non-graphical boot by default, or something, in the meantime | 23:21 |
| ztag100 | dougb_freebsd: ? | 23:21 |
| L3top | Honestly this is a 20 dollar fix Takyoji[laptop]. That chipset is frikkin ANCIENT. | 23:21 |

| Takyoji[laptop] | L3top: I know, I don't get it either. xP | 23:21 |

| ztag100 | exactly | 23:21 |
| simonp | pancro: weechat, irssi | 23:21 |
| ztag100 | that's why I'm asking | 23:21 |
| simonp | ooups | 23:21 |
| cherez | I got it mounted. Running dpkg --configure -a. It looks to be working. | 23:21 |
| simonp | panda: weechat, irssi | 23:21 |
| ztag100 | so, if it's logical, it's ok? | 23:21 |
| sfears | what was the fix cherez? | 23:22 |
| Takyoji[laptop] | L3top: should I try another display manager than gdm, or would the issue likely just persist? | 23:22 |
| sfears | i saw something about looking in fstab | 23:22 |
| violinappren | pipegeek: https://launchpad.net/d-i seems to list all associated packages | 23:22 |
| cherez | sfears: I needed to mount as: mount -o subvol=@ /dev/sda1 /mnt | 23:22 |
| cherez | Then all the standard binds. | 23:22 |
| sfears | nice | 23:22 |
| int19h | panda_: epic5 | 23:22 |
| Takyoji[laptop] | Xorg is initialized from gdm, correct? | 23:22 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: you should use 4 primary partitions | 23:22 |

| ztag100 | oh, I think I found the problem | 23:24 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: you don't want to let windows do that :0 | 23:24 |
| L3top | Takyoji[laptop]: if you spent 58 dollars you could run crazy sauce.... as to other DM... all I know is that kdm will be worse. I work on a specific project, and we don't even use a DM, we make our own fun... we simply give you access to one, and I handle universal gpu install/config for our media center. I can make your card work in our project... but as far as desktop... I rarely see one. | 23:24 |
| ztag100 | dougb_freebsd: Why? | 23:25 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: it's a useless feature that will burn an otherwise useful primary partition :) | 23:25 |
| ztag100 | So, delete it? | 23:25 |
| dougb_freebsd | but if you want to use that, it's fine ... the 2 linux partitions can be extended/logical | 23:25 |

| sfears | Audr: /etc/apt/sources.list | 23:31 |
| ztag100 | krababbel, yes | 23:31 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: IIRC you have to create the extended partition first using the unallocated space, then you can create logical partitions inside it | 23:31 |

| krababbel | ztag100: parted then print will tell you what partitions there are | 23:32 |
| mirak | i want to install ubuntu from a chroot, and be able to boot it. is there somewhere a procedure that will ensure I will have the same install as if I used a cd install ?? | 23:32 |
| dougb_freebsd | krababbel: he has 3 primaries already, and he wants a total of 6 partitions | 23:32 |
| Audr | Fyodorovna, thanks that was what i needed | 23:32 |
| Audr | sfears, obviously... | 23:32 |
| krababbel | dougb_freebsd: one primary for boot, the rest logical, no? | 23:32 |
| simonp | any idea when http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts is gonna be updated with precise? | 23:33 |
| dougb_freebsd | krababbel: no, because he's got 3 primaries already between dell and windows | 23:33 |
| Fyodorovna | Audr, cool thought that was the idea. :) | 23:33 |
| simonp | do-release-upgrade doesn' | 23:33 |
| kip | How do I release the serial port /dev/ttyS2 from the terminal? So it cam be opened by an application? | 23:33 |
| simonp | t work yet | 23:33 |
| dougb_freebsd | all of my linux stuff is in extended/logical ... there's no reason not to do that | 23:33 |
| Daghdha | I installed 'Periodic Table' app. But the icon shown for it seems to be a page with a text and little folde on the top right. | 23:33 |
| Daghdha | SHouldn't it show the icon i also see in the Ubunto SOftware center? | 23:34 |
| pipegeek | Anybody know why the value of mirror/http/hostname would be getting ignored in ubuntu precise? | 23:34 |
| ztag100 | alright, 20.77 GB left, that I'll setup for ubuntu during install proccess | 23:34 |
| pipegeek | I've confirmed that the preseed file is being fetched successfully and applied | 23:34 |
| pipegeek | according to syslog | 23:34 |
| ztag100 | 16 for / and 4 for swap | 23:34 |
| pipegeek | but it's blithely carrying on to download everything from gb.archive.ubuntu.com | 23:34 |
| ztag100 | cool? | 23:34 |
| daftykins | pipegeek: what's in your sources.list ? | 23:35 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: you probably want to create the 4G for swap in the beginning of the unallocated space, and use the rest for / | 23:35 |
| simonp | f4bg fo swap is too much | 23:35 |
| panda_ | Any fast download manager | 23:35 |
| pipegeek | daftykins: this is in the installer. There is no sources.list yet. | 23:35 |
| ztag100 | ok | 23:35 |
| MonkeyDust | panda_ to download what? ubuntu uses repositories | 23:36 |
| daftykins | pipegeek: installer? oic, ignore me then. | 23:36 |
| panda_ | mp3 and other files except video | 23:36 |
| pipegeek | anyone else successfully preseeded precise yet? | 23:37 |
| krababbel | ztag100: I'm not sure about linux swap, but if windows has less pagefile than ram, applications can't reliably use all you ram. Also hibernation won't work if you don't have a bit more swap than RAM. | 23:37 |
| ztag100 | simonp: I have 4G of Ram | 23:37 |
| Fyodorovna | panda_, I use apt-fast not sure if this is the web site I got the info from but will get you started. http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2011/03/apt-fast-speeds-up-package-downloads-in-ubuntu/ | 23:37 |
| krababbel | I'd use 4,5GB swap for example | 23:37 |
| panda_ | fyodorovna: ok i will check | 23:38 |
| simonp | ztag100: 2GB of swap is enough | 23:38 |
| Neal_ | What would you recommend how much swap should I have on a 16GB RAM server? | 23:38 |
| simonp | unless you want to hibernate | 23:38 |
| panda_ | anyway i have tried prozgui it works fine but not enough fast | 23:39 |
| krababbel | rebooting is 70's stuff | 23:39 |
| dougb_freebsd | Neal_: you can't go wrong with swap == RAM, and disk is cheap | 23:39 |
| sfears | Zontar: where in PA are you? | 23:39 |
| * szal goes w/ the old-fashioned recommendation of swap = 1.5x RAM | 23:39 | |
| panda_ | On my laptop rebooting is just 25 sec's stuff | 23:40 |
| sfears | 1.5 even with 16 Gig's of ram? | 23:40 |
| Neal_ | I only have 1GB (default set by my host) :/ | 23:40 |
| daftykins | 1.5x RAM up to a ceiling of 4GB is cool | 23:40 |
| dougb_freebsd | if you ever get into a situation where you are using even 1/2 as much swap as you have ram, you need more ram :) | 23:41 |
| ztag100 | Sorry, I went afk for a few seconds | 23:42 |
| ztag100 | what should I setup? | 23:42 |
| ztag100 | I was told that I should have twice my RAM for swap | 23:43 |
| ztag100 | was that wrong? | 23:43 |
| Jonny | Hey, I feel sem-retarded for asking this, but my apt-get is getting a 404 how'd I fix that? | 23:43 |
| tailf | if i have a usb drive mounted, how do i tell what /dev/x it is? | 23:44 |
| Queops | Jonny, try chaging your mirrors | 23:44 |
| krababbel | ztag100: I'd guess that's old advice for efficiency reasons, when RAM was expensive. | 23:44 |
| scott_ | 12.04 is awesome | 23:44 |
| === scott_ is now known as Guest66242 | ||
| Queops | Jonny, software sources program and change the source there | 23:44 |
| phoenix_firebrd | is this ppa good gnome3-team/gnome3 | 23:44 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: 2x ram is definitely overkill | 23:44 |
| BoyBlunder | does anyone know where i can get some unity themes? | 23:45 |
| ztag100 | Alright | 23:45 |
| ztag100 | Is 4 fine? | 23:45 |
| gogeta | ztag100: these days you dont need that mutch swap | 23:46 |
| japro | hmm, i couldn't find a ppa for gcc 4.7 i nowcompiled it myself is there a way to "install" it without screwing over stuff? | 23:46 |
| elijah | I made a change to my .bash_profile but every new cli I run I have to source it for it to work. Is there a way I can make it stick without having to logout and log back in? | 23:46 |
| gogeta | ztag100: swap is for when you run out of ram and if you have alot you probly whont even use it | 23:47 |
| daftykins | tailf: "sudo fdisk -l" will show you info about each device | 23:47 |
| clark | hi i am on ubuntu 12.04 and my internet is acting really finniky. google search seems to be quick, but loading any actual site, it hangs for a while | 23:47 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: you said you had 4 G ram yes? If so, then 4G swap is what you want | 23:47 |
| gogeta | ztag100: i saw a gb so you can hibernate | 23:47 |
| dougb_freebsd | gogeta: we're configuring it to allow hibernation | 23:47 |
| clark | i have a realtek wireless card on a thinkpad e420s laptop. | 23:47 |
| tailf | daftykins: thanks :D | 23:47 |
| daftykins | np! | 23:47 |
| gogeta | dougb_freebsd: hibernation does not use all the ram just wats in use | 23:48 |
| dougb_freebsd | gogeta: right, so, *cough* swap == ram is all you need, and the safest bet | 23:48 |
| dougb_freebsd | he has the disk to spare, better safe now then sorry later :) | 23:48 |
| gogeta | dougb_freebsd: i use a gb on a 4gb system everything works | 23:48 |
| krababbel | saving 3GB hdd space nowadays is not reasonable | 23:49 |
| Fyodorovna | phoenix_firebrd, Using a PPA has the do at your own risk label, never had a problem personally and have that one in my sources.list. | 23:49 |
| hilikus | when i run lsof (no arguments or anything) nothing happens, the command doesn't show any output and it doesn't terminate, it just hangs there. any idea what can cause this? | 23:49 |
| ztag100 | I'm going with 4G | 23:50 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Fyodorovna: thats good. going to try that | 23:50 |
| gogeta | ztag100: whont ever use it but go eith what you like | 23:50 |
| gogeta | with | 23:50 |
| andreim | hello Sirs. I have a MacBook Pro 5,1 (yes, I know the link to recommended distros, etc) but I would like to know if I can skip REFIT installation and use boot camp instead? | 23:50 |
| cherez | sfears, escott: With your help and a grub-install all was fixed. Thanks a lot! | 23:50 |
| ztag100 | gogeta: to be quite honest, it doesn't really matter to me, I have the space to spare | 23:51 |
| krababbel | gogeta: you won't use those 3GB on / either | 23:51 |
| Daghdha | hmm recommendations enabled by default o_O how coorperate | 23:51 |
| gogeta | ztag100: i dont even thing hibernate supends to swap | 23:51 |
| ztag100 | the 2 GB doesn't make a difference to e | 23:51 |
| ztag100 | me* | 23:51 |
| ztag100 | dougb_freebsd: now, for the 18GB Ubuntu partition... Do I want to set a mount point, or just leave that blank? | 23:52 |
| === ubuntu is now known as hatora | ||
| gogeta | ztag100: these days i think it makes a swap file if you dont have it | 23:52 |
| === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer | ||
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: yes, the mount point is / | 23:52 |
| dougb_freebsd | that should be all you need | 23:52 |
| ztag100 | Alright | 23:52 |
| clark | speedtest gives me 15 mbps DL and basically non existent upload speed. what is wrong ? | 23:52 |
| hatora | how to backup installed packages ? | 23:52 |
| ztag100 | that automatically does everything else? | 23:52 |
| clark | my upload speed is 0.09. is that awful? | 23:53 |
| MonkeyDust | hatora dpkg --get-selection | 23:53 |
| hilikus | hatora: you can get the whole list by doing dpkg -l | 23:53 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: you may have to tell the installer again, but yes, for gparted that's more than sufficient | 23:53 |
| krababbel | ztag100: yes, you need at least / | 23:53 |
| hilikus | hatora: so maybe dpkg -l > packages.log | 23:53 |
| gogeta | clark: yea | 23:53 |
| ztag100 | I'm in the installer now | 23:53 |
| hatora | ok | 23:53 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: ok, then yes ... / | 23:53 |
| hatora | is it possible with synaptic package manager ? | 23:54 |
| gogeta | shure | 23:54 |
| ztag100 | and it should be after the swap, right? | 23:54 |
| dougb_freebsd | right, that way it will just use all the rest of the free space | 23:55 |
| clark | gogeta, do you know how i can fix it? | 23:55 |
| ztag100 | alright! | 23:55 |
| clark | ive done a lot of searching but nothing that ive tried has worked =\ | 23:55 |
| gogeta | clark: better isp relly dunno | 23:55 |
| hatora | is backup possible with synaptic package manager ? | 23:55 |
| ztag100 | Just checking, what device do I want to use for bootloader? | 23:55 |
| Psi-Jack | hatora: No | 23:56 |
| clark | gogeta, my internet is blazing fast on windows. i guess i got the wrong hardware config to work well with ubuntu...again | 23:56 |
| hatora | then | 23:56 |
| cocolos | Maya: it didn't work | 23:56 |
| krababbel | ztag100: in your case, your boot drive, where windows is? | 23:56 |
| gogeta | clark: you can have fast downstream and crappy upload | 23:56 |
| krababbel | ztag100: the drive which is set to boot first in BIOS | 23:57 |
| Psi-Jack | Hmmmm. | 23:57 |
| Psi-Jack | I thought Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS was going to FINALLY default to 64-bit, what happened? | 23:57 |
| clark | gogeta, my upload is not crappy on other OS. there must be some configuration i need to adjust | 23:57 |
| cocolos | how can I create a bootable usb drive? | 23:57 |
| mirak | df: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file or directory | 23:57 |
| mirak | in a chroot | 23:57 |
| ztag100 | krababbel: where the 100mb windows boot flag is? | 23:57 |
| gogeta | clark: yea could be | 23:57 |
| mirak | can I make it work ? | 23:57 |
| hilikus | cocolos: try unetbootin | 23:57 |
| MonkeyDust | Psi-Jack in order to be able to run on older pc's, there has to be a 32bit version | 23:57 |
| clark | psi-jack dont they offere 32 and 64? | 23:58 |
| ztag100 | that's the one with the boot flag now | 23:58 |
| gogeta | clark: yes | 23:58 |
| dougb_freebsd | ztag100: that should be fine | 23:58 |
| cocolos | hilikus: I just tried it my computer didn't pick it up | 23:58 |
| Psi-Jack | MonkeyDust: Right, hence, 'default'. | 23:58 |
| ztag100 | 100MB is enough? | 23:58 |
| cocolos | how can I install ubuntu onto my usb drive? | 23:58 |
| darkVader | hi there, I need some help please | 23:58 |
| dougb_freebsd | more than enough | 23:58 |
| gogeta | cocolos: maybe the pc does not support cd rom booting | 23:58 |
| krababbel | ztag100: well yes, don't do sda1, just sda, so it installs to MBR. that 100mb should be windows boot partition | 23:58 |
| hilikus | cocolos: using unetbooting | 23:58 |
| gogeta | cocolos: yes with unetbootin | 23:58 |
| dougb_freebsd | cocolos: didn't I already answer that question? :) | 23:58 |
| Psi-Jack | MonkeyDust: As in, word said that they would stop recommending 32-bit and recommend 64-bit by default. | 23:58 |
| hilikus | cocolos: what do you mean didnt pick it up? | 23:59 |
| gogeta | cocolos: but if it does not do cd rom i dought it does usb | 23:59 |
| darkVader | I am trying to install Ubunto | 23:59 |
| hilikus | cocolos: did you change the boot order in your bios? | 23:59 |
| Maya | cocolos: unetbootin, you have to clear your USB drive first. (Forgoodness sakes, PLEASE BACKUP FIRST). Then after clearing USB. Unmount it. Then Pull out USB. Put it back in. THEN open unetbootin. Pick out the ISO, pick the USB drive letter/directory. Then you may finally install ubuntu to USB. | 23:59 |
