[00:49] <Bandit> trying to get hdmi passthrough to work on my system.  on ubuntu i can get stereo output and multichannel output.  but i want to passthrough to my receiver to do the decoding
[00:49] <steemed> Hello
[00:49] <benonsoftware> Hi steemed
[00:50] <steemed> :) I used to be an ubuntu member...
[00:50] <steemed> I'm having a problem with bash executing a script
[00:50] <steemed> ie adb
[00:50] <steemed> in 12.04
[00:51] <steemed> So I include adb in the path and it say ~/androidstuff/platform-tools/adb not found
[00:51] <steemed> when it is there and ls shows it is there
[00:51] <steemed> and it is executable
[00:51] <steemed> sh is the same story
[00:52] <Unit193> Expand that to full path.
[00:53] <steemed> Doesn't work
[00:53] <steemed> Even doing the full path in bash
[00:54] <steemed> I'll pastebin
[00:54] <Unit193> That sure is weird.
[00:55] <steemed> http://pastebin.com/VikrFyEG
[00:55] <steemed> Unit193: ^
[00:55] <steemed> And yes I did chmod +x
[00:56] <Unit193> `bash adb` may do it, but what's the contents? Also try `file adb`
[00:56] <steemed> mind if I paste two lines from file here?
[00:57] <Unit193> Sure.
[00:57] <steemed> andrew@unicorn:~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools$ file adb
[00:57] <steemed> adb: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, stripped
[00:58] <Unit193> Alright.
[00:58] <steemed> andrew@unicorn:~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools$ bash ./adb
[00:58] <steemed> ./adb: ./adb: cannot execute binary file
[00:58] <Unit193> Yeah, I misunderstood that it wasn't a bash file.
[00:59] <steemed> k
[00:59] <steemed> Do I need 32 bit libraries? This is 64 bit
[00:59] <Unit193> I'd think there'd be errors or something, but that's not the type of error I'd expect.
[01:00] <steemed> hm
[01:00] <Unit193> I've not had anything like this, so I can't be of much help.
[01:00] <steemed> Alright thanks anyways
[01:10] <deper29> hey, I'm having an issue. I'm dual booting backtrack 5 and ubuntu 10.04 64bit. My splash screen for ubuntu when I log in is surrounded by green. http://imgur.com/7PIH1
[04:12] <boliviano3> Hey everyone. I'm trying to install 12.04 on my HP desktop but I don't get the option to "install alongside windows 7." The only options I get are to "erase and install" and/or "something else." Can anyone help me out w/ how I'd go about installing it alongside Windows 7?
[04:12] <holstein> boliviano3: are you choosing the drive that has windows 7 on in?
[04:14] <boliviano3> i haven't gotten that far yet. I installed 12.04 on another computer but it gave me the option to install alongside windows. Since this time it didn't give me that option I don't know how to proceed
[04:15] <holstein> boliviano3: you need to be choosing a hard drive with windows 7 on it
[04:16] <holstein> boliviano3: i you have a USB stick, or other hard drives in the machine, you could have that selected ay accident
[04:16] <holstein> you wont see an "install along side" option, if you choose a device which has nothing to install anything alongside
[04:18] <boliviano3> where would I have picked the wrong device? once i the live cd starts it asks if i want to try ubuntu or install. i pick install but then the install alongside never comes up
[04:19] <holstein> boliviano3: not sure... maybe you can take pictures... could be hanging somewhere... could be what im suggesting where you are not choosing the proper drive somehow
[04:23] <boliviano3> i know that on the other install after I picked to install alongside windows the I got to choose the size of the partition but this time I just get "erase & install" or "something else"
[04:23] <holstein> boliviano3: right.. im proposing you are *not* choosing the hard drive with windows on it
[04:24] <boliviano3> what i'm saying is i'm *never* getting the option to choose where I want to install
[04:25] <holstein> boliviano3: well, you already got it once, so saying "never" isnt fair or true
[04:25] <holstein> to take my adivce into consideration, you just need to confirm that the drive has windows on it, and that you are choosing it
[04:27] <holstein> im proposing that you are choosing a different drive in error
[04:27] <holstein> a drive that doesnt have windows on it
[04:28] <boliviano3> but how would I be choosing the wrong drive when I'm not given the option to choose one?
[04:29] <holstein> boliviano3: not sure.. i have seen dropdown menuse.. again, you should try and take a photo, or maybe try the alternate installer
[04:29] <holstein> dropdown menus*
[04:29] <boliviano3> what's the alternate installer?
[04:29] <boliviano3> dropdown menus where?
[04:30] <holstein> boliviano3: you'll see the alternate iso's listed here http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/
[04:30] <holstein> boliviano3: i have seen them in the installer.. the GUI one, but i have no idea what you are seeing
[04:30] <holstein> boliviano3: try the alternate, and see if that gets you what you are looking for
[04:30] <holstein> its a more text based installer with more options
[04:35] <boliviano3> ok so after the live cd boots up I get this
[04:35] <boliviano3> http://www.ubuntu.com/sites/www.ubuntu.com/files/active/try-intsall.jpg
[04:36] <boliviano3> I choose install and I get this
[04:36] <boliviano3> http://www.webscopia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Installation-Procedure-No-OS-Detected_thumb.png
[04:36] <boliviano3> when I should get this
[04:36] <boliviano3> http://www.ubuntu.com/sites/www.ubuntu.com/files/active/installation-type.jpg
[04:37] <boliviano3> never is an option given to choose a hard drive before then
[04:41] <holstein> boliviano3: you can try the alternate iso
[04:42] <holstein> you can use a live CD with gparted to shrink the ntfs partition
[04:42] <holstein> then, you can use the "something else" option and install to the empty space you created
[04:43] <holstein> boliviano3: i wouldnt just expect the installer to magically do what you need it to do... shrink windows and install ubuntu beside it
[04:43] <holstein> if its not working, try doing it manually with the same tools the installer would use
[04:44] <JoseeAntonioR> boliviano3: Tengo una sugerencia
[04:45] <JoseeAntonioR> boliviano3: Has intentado correr Windows, dejarlo corriendo unos 5 minutos, y luevo volver a arrancar del CD?
[04:45] <JoseeAntonioR> Posiblemente haya algun registro, aunque no estoy seguro de eso
[05:02] <holstein> boliviano3: i just tried on a dell.. didnt see the "alongside" option
[05:02] <holstein> i just saw what you had
[05:03] <holstein> i would just choose to shrink the partition... i would either try that in the "something else" option, or with gparted from a live CD
[05:03] <holstein> i would have my data backed up before doing either...
[05:03] <holstein> enjoy!
[05:28] <rainstake> Okay, so I have an update problem and I'm supposed to report, but don't know how.
[05:28] <IAmNotThatGuy> rainstake, hello. What is the error you are getting?
[05:30] <rainstake> I"m running update now so I can post it.  What's that website to post error messages, again?  Oh, and I have to step away only for a bit to help feed our baby.
[05:30] <bioterror> !paste | rainstake
[05:30] <ubot2> rainstake: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.
[05:31] <rainstake> Well, that update and upgrade worked this time, but I still have that silly red dot with the minus sign in it on my tab.
[05:32] <bioterror> you say you have problem
[05:32] <bioterror> you want to report but you dont know how
[05:32] <IAmNotThatGuy> Can you take a screenshot and put it in imagebin.com, share the links?
[05:32] <bioterror> and when we ask about you say "oh but I have this update going but I cant report it now"
[05:33] <IAmNotThatGuy> rainstake, screenshot in imagebin.com will make us understand and can help you better
[05:34] <rainstake> IAmNotThatGuy: I think I have a broken package, I just received that error from package manager.  Excuse my confusion, I usually don't have multiple issues with ubuntu.
[05:34] <IAmNotThatGuy> Okay
[05:35] <rainstake> I'm running update manager again so as to see what error message appears.
[05:36] <bioterror> why not just open terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[05:36] <bioterror> would be faster than taking screenshots
[05:37] <rainstake> bioterror: I ran update and upgrade and am having issues, once the slowness is resolved, I'll show the screen shot of the error page.
[05:44] <rainstake> IAmNotThatGuy: here;s the link to the screenshot: http://imagebin.org/210088
[06:01] <rainstake> I'm back.  Here's a message error I am receiving: http://imagebin.org/210088
[06:03] <IAmNotThatGuy> Awww! kernel install issue :(
[06:03] <rainstake> Sounds horrible, then, eh?
[06:03] <JoseeAntonioR> IAmNotThatGuy: I had to do a backup and then restore is after a fresh install
[06:04] <IAmNotThatGuy> Try running 1) aptitude clean 2)aptitude update 3)aptitude safe-upgrade
[06:04] <IAmNotThatGuy> Use sudo if there are some lock errors
[06:05] <rainstake> Okay, will do.  I'll report the results, soon.
[06:06] <bioterror> always sudo with aptitude
[06:06] <IAmNotThatGuy> Okay. If that also fails, you have to manually extract the package and install
[06:06] <IAmNotThatGuy> bioterror, okies
[06:07]  * IAmNotThatGuy is updating his Lucid ;]
[06:33] <r4y> For me sometimes the search bar for the Ubuntu Software Center is there and sometimes it's not.
[06:33] <IAmNotThatGuy> r4y, is is after the upgrading to 12.04?
[06:34] <r4y> I installed from CD
[06:35] <r4y> I had no idea they kept all the logs for irc for Ubuntu related channels. Sounds like a gold mine
[06:36] <r4y> I am still lost a little when it comes to Unity
[06:37] <r4y> I should go read tutorials and watch videos on it
[06:37] <bioterror> that's why I like plain gnome shell better
[06:37] <r4y> Me as well
[06:38] <r4y> I like the options for appearance better
[06:38] <r4y> The icons on the left take up a lot of space and liked the space saving drop down menu
[06:39] <r4y> I liked the applets. Like force quit, lock screen, and system monitor
[06:40] <r4y> I liked alacarte for customizing the main menu
[06:40] <IAmNotThatGuy> cool
[06:40] <r4y> I haven't tried doing sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
[06:41] <r4y> Once that is installed will I be able to switch back and force between Unity and Gnome?
[06:41] <r4y> I heard it can be done from the login screen
[06:43] <r4y> Will the customizations for Unity and Gnome remain separate for certain things other then  say preferences for having delete set for right click and so on?
[06:44] <r4y> I need to go do a couple of things. But I am not leaving
[06:45] <r4y> That is what life is about.
[09:00] <surajit> I need help to solve my login problem in ubuntu 11.04... anyone there?
[09:06] <surajit> after booting to the system, when I enter my username and password into the graphical login screen, it goes blank and returned me the same screen again. But I can login in tty1 with the same username and password. After searching a lot, I found that people are talking about .xsession-errors file, in which, in my case I found this error:   /etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup... .: 20: Can't open /usr/share/im-config/
[09:07] <surajit> what should I do?
[09:26] <AJH101> hi so far so good with pp but i am being told not all files downloaded correctly (when i try updating). do i reinstall over the top?
[09:28] <Unit193> Depending on the errors, you should be able to either  `sudo apt-get update`, `sudo apt-get install -f`, or `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade`
[09:28] <AJH101> ok will try all 3! :-) thx
[09:31] <AJH101> tried the 1st and: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:31] <AJH101> sorry ignore that!
[09:32] <AJH101> W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/jsevi83/unity/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found
[09:35] <Unit193> Well, you have an old ppa left over, either comment it out, or use !ppa-purge to remove it.
[09:36] <Unit193> "It'll be located at /etc/apt/sources.list.d"
[09:36] <Unit193> !ppa-purge
[09:36] <ubot2> 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
[09:37] <AJH101> ok will try thx
[12:04] <Culiforge> Hello, I have a game that is non-gui but linux native. when it launches the screen is off-set to the side. Is there a way to adjust that without messing with my monitor 'hard button' controls or so that it automatically centers and doesn't mess with other display settings?
[12:27] <Sidewinder> Culiforge, Somewhere in 'the game's' preferences, perhaps?
[12:29] <Sidewinder> Either that or perhaps you need to launch from terminal with screen parameters; but I'm not sure how to do that, sorry. :-(
[12:51] <Culiforge> Sidewinder: looked through prefs, no dice... I'll google about screen params tho... thanks
[12:55] <Sidewinder> Culiforge, You're more than welcome; I just wish I could have been more definitive. I know that I have my terminal command (for when I open a terminal) that has the parameter "--geometry=150x60" because I want it a certain size. I don't know how that'll help with the centering but it might be a start..
[13:15] <Culiforge> Sidewinder: as another.. when I launch game via the script in terminal, the game takes over the display (as I believe it should) so it doesn't seem to make sense that an adjustment to the terminal window would solve my issue. Back when I was a M$ user, there was, in file properties, open/run with paramaters as well as previous windows version emulation (sort of) that would allow you to set window metrics and such. Dunno if there
[13:16] <zigzag> Hi guys I have a bit of experience with linux but not much with unity. does unity have a system tray and can I get gpodder to appear in it (setting the option in gpodder doesnt appear to have any effect)
[13:17] <Culiforge> zigzag: you may have to run session under gnome-fallback or some such to get system tray from what I know of it..
[13:18] <Culiforge> zigzag: but that will involve disabling unity all together
[13:18] <Sidewinder> Culiforge, No, I was not suggesting that term. win adjustment would do anything; it was just an example to hopefully get you on the right track. I apologize if I was unclear. Guess that's why my wife keeps telling me that my advice is worth exactly what I charge for it.. :-)
[13:18] <zigzag> Oh so other than those 2 littler arrows you cant tell if gpodder is running
[13:19] <Culiforge> Sidewinder: no, not at all, mostly me talking out loud.. I understood what you meant
[13:20] <Sidewinder> Kewl, and good luck..
[13:20] <Culiforge> zigzag: don't know what gpodder is, just know from when I ditched unity for some semblance of the old interface
[13:21] <Culiforge> for me, unity was like putting a square wheel on my car :)
[13:23] <zigzag> Culiforge: Not giving up yet, but maybe soon. do you run gnome 3 or cinnamon
[13:23] <Culiforge> gnome3
[13:24] <zigzag> what do I need to do install on 12.04
[13:24] <zigzag> sudo apt-get install ...? ppa ? and does it break something
[13:24] <Culiforge> didn't see the point of running a netbook-like interface when I have desktop screen real estate
[13:25] <Culiforge> ubuntu forums are full of walkthroughs on how to get rid of unity and revert back to a gnome like experience
[13:25] <Culiforge> forums/help pages
[13:26] <Culiforge> just did it the once myself so I don't remember the step by steps of it
[13:26] <zigzag> I trying to get my family to move to linux and I think gnome 3 is not entirely there. I found the mint was still a little buggy; at least from where I was sitting
[13:27] <zigzag> Culiforge: if I install gnome 3, can I switch between it and unity from the logon screen
[13:28] <Culiforge> hehe, just do what I did... wipe their computers and install ubuntu.... mwuhahaha!
[13:28] <zigzag> Culiforge,: No my wife still loves me and I would like it to remain so
[13:29] <Culiforge> yeah, there's the login option for that.. there's unity 3d, unity 2d, gnome-fallback, and I think gnome-somethingorother... (nothing like being specific eh?)
[13:32] <duanedes1gn> their used ti be a version of Ubuntu that looked liked XP
[13:32] <duanedes1gn> oop, they already left
[13:47] <zigzag> just when I thought I was getting somewhere, I have no sound
[13:48] <zigzag> sorry works now
[14:57] <fahmyboy> Hi All, anyone available to answer a newbie question on getting wireless working
[14:57] <fahmyboy> i have been struggling with this issue for a week
[15:26] <beachbuddah> hey ubuntu beginners - if anybody's home, I'm wondering how to create a start button for a program that requires a cli command to get it going
[15:26] <geirha> That's called a launcher
[15:27] <beachbuddah> cool - are they hard to make?
[15:27] <geirha> What's the nature of this program? does it have a gui?
[15:27] <geirha> or does it run in a terminal?
[15:27] <beachbuddah> yes - it's Truecrypt
[15:27] <beachbuddah> it has a gui
[15:27] <geirha> Doesn't it already have a launcher then?
[15:28] <beachbuddah> I was only able to find a .deb pkg for 6.0 and it only starts in the terminal, but then it's launced and up comes the gui
[15:28] <beachbuddah> *launched
[15:29] <duanedes1gn> if you are using  unity when you launch it right-click and select pint to launcher
[15:29] <beachbuddah> right click where - just in the program itself?
[15:29] <duanedes1gn> the icon in the launcher on the right
[15:30] <geirha> *left
[15:30] <duanedes1gn> beachbuddah: what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[15:30] <beachbuddah> ok gotcha, I'll give that a try
[15:30] <duanedes1gn> geirha: ha, you are correct
[15:30] <beachbuddah> 12.04
[15:30] <duanedes1gn> ok then that should work
[15:30] <beachbuddah> fair enough - thak you for the assist
[15:30] <duanedes1gn> hi geirha , good to read you
[15:31] <geirha> hey :)
[15:31] <beachbuddah> it didn't work, there was no option to pin it to the bar
[15:32] <geirha> beachbuddah: If you run   dpkg -L truecrypt
[15:32] <geirha> does it list any files in /usr/share/applications?
[15:33] <beachbuddah> no
[15:34] <geirha> Ok, well, to make your own launcher, there's two main ways.
[15:34] <beachbuddah> k
[15:34] <geirha> One is to install alacarte and create it in there
[15:34] <geirha> the other is to create it manually with a regular text editor
[15:34] <beachbuddah> alacarte  - ok
[15:35] <beachbuddah> hmm - I'm about technical enought o isntall alacarte
[15:35] <beachbuddah> I'll give it a go, thanks
[15:36] <duanedes1gn> beachbuddah: might be cALLED 'lock to launcher'
[15:37] <geirha> For the latter approach, or if you're just curious, open one of the .desktop-files in /usr/share/applications/ in a regular text editor (such as gedit).
[15:37] <geirha> The format is fairly simple.
[15:37] <beachbuddah> duanedesi1gn - oh - no there was only the name of the program and the option to quit
[15:39] <beachbuddah> ok - just copy and paste and change the command to truecrypt?
[15:41] <geirha> Yes, and save to ~/.local/share/applications/truecrypt.desktop
[15:42] <geirha> (that's where alacarte will save it too)
[15:43] <beachbuddah> ummm - where do I find ~/
[15:44] <beachbuddah> <----noob to filesystem here
[15:44] <geirha> ~ is your homedir
[15:44] <StepNjump> Hi guys, when I try to start guake at the CLI and do a & after like so: guake & it works fine BUT when I close the terminal window, the process ends. Why
[15:44] <beachbuddah> ahh
[15:45] <geirha> StepNjump: Because the terminal sends SIGHUP to the shell, and the shell in turn sends SIGHUP to the child processes.
[15:45] <StepNjump> ah geirha
[15:45] <geirha> StepNjump: If you instead exit the shell, the shell will disown its children before exiting, and the terminal will exit when it's process exits.
[15:46] <geirha> e.g. by running exit or hitting Ctrl+d
[15:46] <StepNjump> Is there a way for it to not sigh
[15:46] <StepNjump> so it runs as a TSR?
[15:46] <geirha> You can also tell bash to disown the child process by using the disown command
[15:46] <geirha> guake & disown
[15:46] <geirha> TSR?
[15:47] <StepNjump> TSR like in Terminal stay resident
[15:47] <StepNjump> oh ok, well thank you very much geirha I appreciate it. I will try it now
[15:48] <geirha> I don't know what terminal stay resident means
[15:48] <StepNjump> Oh yes, it works fine! thanks a lot
[15:48] <StepNjump> oh it's a windows term sorry
[15:48] <StepNjump> It's the first time I ever disowned a child
[15:48] <geirha> Yet another option is to not run it in a terminal in the first place
[15:49] <StepNjump> Kind of feel bad about it lol
[15:49] <geirha> just Alt+F2 -> guake  (no ampersand)
[15:49] <StepNjump> oh really ok!
[15:49] <StepNjump> Wow you know your stuff!
[15:49] <beachbuddah> odd - the launcher exists and is now pinned to the taskbar, but the icon is the a question mark as opposed to the 'T' that was there when
[15:50] <beachbuddah> I ran it through the terminal
[15:50] <geirha> beachbuddah: find the icon name, and set it as icon for the launcher
[15:50] <beachbuddah> lemme try that
[15:51] <geirha> dpkg -L truecrypt | grep pixmaps
[15:51] <beachbuddah> ahh tnks
[15:51] <geirha> if it says e.g. /usr/share/pixmaps/truecrypt.png, then just use  Icon=truecrypt  in the .desktop-file
[15:53] <geirha> It used to be easy to create launchers, but they removed that feature in 10.10 or so... for whatever reason.
[15:55] <beachbuddah> the command returns nothing - no response - back to the prompt.  Checking the file, there is no file - under any name - that resembles the truecrypt icon
[15:55] <geirha> Hm. So it doesn't install any icons probably
[15:56] <geirha> At least, not in the standard location
[15:56] <geirha> dpkg -L truecrypt | grep '\.png$'
[15:56] <beachbuddah> fair enough - for an encryption program, maybe a grey question mark is appropriate, lol
[15:56] <geirha> haha
[15:57] <geirha> You can have a look in /usr/share/pixmaps, it should contain lots of icons. You might find a nice one :)
[15:57] <beachbuddah> lol
[15:59] <beachbuddah> dpkg-query: error: --listfiles needs at least one package name argument
[16:01] <geirha> yes, the syntax is  dpkg -L packagename   or   dpkg --listfiles packagename
[16:01] <StepNjump> maybe geirha you can help me.. For the last few days, I start getting more and more spam in my kopete. People are trying to add me. Do you think one of my account such as msn might be compromized?
[16:01] <beachbuddah> oh ok - sorry
[16:01] <geirha> StepNjump: No idea, sorry. I don't use such protocols.
[16:03] <StepNjump> is it safe geirha ?
[16:04] <geirha> Probably
[16:04] <StepNjump> Gosh Ubuntu works well.. I hope Windows 8 won't take over! darn bastards
[16:06] <StepNjump> I read they are trying to prevent us to install linux on the new hardware
[16:06] <StepNjump> do you think this will work?
[16:08] <geirha> They'll probably try, but it will either be stopped by a court, or the open source community will simply find a way to circumvent it
[16:09] <StepNjump> I hope so... I did the switch about 6 months ago and I absolutely love it
[16:09] <StepNjump> Lost too much time with Windoze crap
[16:09] <StepNjump> Lost most of my life with this piece of shit (please escuse my language)
[16:15] <beachbuddah> geirha, I know the icon is in here somewhere, but I have no clue where.   I give - I will live with the grey question mark
[16:15] <beachbuddah> thank you for your help.
[16:15] <geirha> beachbuddah: dpkg -L truecrypt | grep -e '\.png$' -e '\.xpm$'
[16:16] <geirha> that should list any images that might be icons, installed by the truecrypt package.

[18:19] <WilsonBradley> for some reason Unity is not working for almost a week. I can't see Icons on left nor top menu icons, I can click in the same menu area and it shows Wifi ,./ clock/account drop down menus.. I reinstalled Unity and Compiz also reset.
[18:25] <holstein> WilsonBradley: i would make a new user and try there.. that'll tell you if its something in the config files
[18:25] <WilsonBradley> ok, i'll try that real quick.
[18:51] <WilsonBradley> holstein: I tried a new user
[18:51] <WilsonBradley> it seems to work
[18:51] <holstein> cool.. so you can stop reinstalling things... and thinking about a bug report
[18:52] <WilsonBradley> ok, how to go about
[18:52] <WilsonBradley> I get errors at log on
[18:52] <holstein> errors? or messages?
[18:53] <holstein> i get "output".. most of it can be safely ignored assuming all is good
[18:53] <WilsonBradley> pop up saying it crashed, do I want report
[18:53] <WilsonBradley> I have selected report
[18:54] <holstein> what crashed?
[21:13] <anon> hello world
[21:13] <anon> im having a problem with my printer
[21:14] <nlsthzn> hi anon ... ask away
[21:14] <anon> trying to hplip to work but when i run hp-setup it cant find my printer
[21:14] <anon> so ive been wandering around online and read that i should do hp-check -t
[21:14] <anon> which i did and it is told me to run some commands to install some packages
[21:15] <anon> so i did that
[21:15] <anon> and when i try to run the packages it tells me there is an error with ecryptfs-utils
[21:15] <anon> which i gather is the disk encryption tool
[21:15] <anon> im running 10.04
[21:16] <anon> what is the general opinion?
[21:17] <anon> ive been thinking i should just get the new ubuntu but i dunno if that will make any real difference
[21:18] <anon> nlsthzn: do you know whats up?
[21:19] <nlsthzn> anon: in my experience HP printers normally work right of the bat without any intervention needed...
[21:19] <nlsthzn> but it has been a while since I used 10.04
[21:20] <nlsthzn> what make and model is the printer?
[21:20] <anon> yeah i think maybe ill just upgrade and while im at it disable the encryption then hope for the best
[21:21] <nlsthzn> not ideal if you don't know if it will fix the issue...
[21:21] <Unit193> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrintersHp
[21:21] <anon> yes i know
[21:21] <anon> ok i will check this
[21:21] <nlsthzn> thanks for the link Unit193
[21:22] <Unit193> Not sure how complete it is, but that and hplip should help
[21:22] <anon> im positive it is somekind of conflict between the hplip packages and ecryptfs
[21:22] <anon> i don't know if it is a bug or i have this setup in a strange way or what
[21:25] <anon> I had 11.04 a while back on a different laptop and it was printing ok
[21:25] <anon> i know that hplip supports this printer
[22:12] <escott> anon, very unlikely that hplip would affect ecryptfs
[22:28] <E3D3> After updating from 10.04 to 12.04 Beta my pc froze/locked. Also after updating to the latest version 2 days ago. Where/how do I start trying to solve this ?
[22:29] <Fyodorovna> E3D3, so are you backed up on the 10.04 before the upgrade?
[22:30] <Fyodorovna> preferably a clone really
[22:31] <E3D3> No, only personal data & most important configs
[22:31] <Fyodorovna> E3D3, so where are you at now does it boot, a little more of this info helps.
[22:34] <Fyodorovna> it is easier if we know what freeze and locked means at this point
[22:34] <E3D3> I'm now running Crunchbang. Ubuntu boots very slow but okay. After some time using it freezes. I waited for the finished 12.04 release and hoped an update would repair the problem.
[22:35] <Fyodorovna> E3D3, have you from a recovery cli run a update & upgrade? Or used the fix packages o[ption in the recovery gui?
[22:35] <E3D3> The only thing that seems to respond is the mouse, the cursor moves but I can't click and nothing responds.
[22:37] <E3D3> I know nothing about a recovery cli. I can't open shell or other stuff so I wait and finally reboot with the power-button.
[22:39] <Fyodorovna> E3D3, in the grub menu the second kernel stanza is a recovery boot this takes you to a gui with choices.
[22:39] <E3D3> Haha, after all those years ignoring those lines did I forgot it. Sorry.
[22:41] <E3D3> I never used it, only remove it sometimes from Grub-menu's. I'll read about it and/or try that. Sorry again.
[22:43] <E3D3> Bye and thanks.
[22:45] <Fyodorovna> E3D3, no problem hard to say whether this will fix it but where I would probably start if me. This lts upgrade from what I have read is intended for the 12.04.1 in I think 30 days afer release.
[22:46] <Fyodorovna> I did upgrade a 11.10 with only one apparent problem, runs a little strange at times though.
[22:47] <beachbuddah> Hi folks, I'm having trouble when I close the lid on my laptop and reopen it, it can't reconnect to my wireless connection
[23:27] <E3D3> How do you get to the menu with only keys in U12.04?
[23:40] <E3D3> Okay, super (im)press(ive) shows Super-A = apps, trial & error instead of docs learned that arrow-keys are fastest. If my system don't freeze than I'm done here. Bye & good luck
