hilikus | Guest2441: you don;'t install those, you need to unzip and untar them | 00:00 |
clark | tons of people are having this issue with the slow wifi. i cant believe i havent found a working fix yet | 00:00 |
cocolos | hilikus: it said no bootable device found please insert one and hit any key | 00:00 |
Maya | gogeta: Then we're having communication problem(s) then. | 00:00 |
gogeta | cocolos: many bios have a hotkey to bring up a boot loader see if you can start the cd rom that way | 00:00 |
cocolos | hilikus: let me double check bios | 00:00 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: you should be fine | 00:00 |
ztag100 | What is windows going to do? | 00:00 |
Guest2441 | Maya: it doesnt solve my problem | 00:00 |
johnjohn101 | is there a web site for mate on ubuntu? | 00:01 |
krababbel | ztag100: I'm not sure if windows will still start, but you will be able to fix that later, if needed. Windows uses that first partition as a boot partition. Now grub won't see windows anymore, if you replaced it with grub. grub can go to mbr to, leaving windows loader intact | 00:01 |
cleric_preston | I have both Windows7 and Ubuntu though I don't have the option to select Ubuntu it automatically logs in Win7. Any ideas? | 00:01 |
finish06 | all of my windows always open in the top left, I would rather them open in the middle of my screen ... can this be done? (reason for this complaint is that the movement bar is hidden by the top task bar when they open, so it is super hard to move them and resize them) | 00:01 |
ztag100 | So, windows 7 won't start anymore... | 00:01 |
clark | cleric_preston you need to do something with GRUB | 00:01 |
gogeta | maya: many compaqs dont let you change the boot order but have a hotkey for it | 00:01 |
krababbel | ztag100: maybe, but fixable | 00:01 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: you should be fine ... don't panic until you try it and it doesn't work :) | 00:01 |
ztag100 | ok | 00:01 |

ztag100 | alright | 00:02 |
Fyodorovna | cleric_preston, is this a install of ubuntu from windows? | 00:02 |
cleric_preston | Fyodorovna: No it's not. | 00:02 |
cleric_preston | Fyodorovna: I ran chkdsk because win7 was causing some problems and since then I can't choose Ubuntu. | 00:02 |
clark | cleric_preston google dual boot windows and ubuntu install grub or something to that effect | 00:02 |
Fyodorovna | cleric_preston, what is the bootloader you see on boot? | 00:03 |
cleric_preston | I don't see anything, it just automatically boots Win 7. | 00:03 |
gogeta | cleric_preston: you should see something like del for setup f12 for boot slect | 00:03 |
cordyceps | getting 'alsa error' 'snd_mixer_find_selem failed' what to do? | 00:03 |
Fyodorovna | cleric_preston, have you ever seen the grub bootloader and or booted ubuntu and if so how. You are missing the back info I have to ask that got you where your at. | 00:04 |
gogeta | cleric_preston: the keys very on all pcs so | 00:04 |
cleric_preston | gogeta: I only see the vaio logo then it gets into Win7. | 00:04 |
cordyceps | BTW just upgraded to 12.04 | 00:04 |
gogeta | cleric_preston: i think on a vio you just hit esc for the boot slect | 00:04 |
cleric_preston | Fyodorovna: Yes, it was working fine before I ran chkdsk E: /f. | 00:04 |
cocolos | yep usb boot is selected but still did not work | 00:04 |
benjamindaines | I didn't load grub into the MBR when installing, so when I boot it just goes to the purple ubuntu screen... how am I going to be able to get into recovery mode if I ever need to? | 00:05 |
cleric_preston | gogeta: I tried, I don't get the GRUB thingie. | 00:05 |
L3top | benjamindaines: hold shift during boot | 00:05 |
Fyodorovna | cleric_preston, what is the E partition? | 00:05 |
gogeta | cleric_preston: f11 on a vio | 00:05 |
L3top | benjamindaines: hold space during boot... sorry | 00:05 |
cocolos | any other program i can use to either install ubuntu onto a usb drive or boot from one? | 00:06 |
cleric_preston | gogeta: Fine I will try that. | 00:06 |
benjamindaines | L3top: will that bring up grub, or go to recovery? I may need to roll back my kernel as well at some point | 00:06 |
gogeta | cleric_preston: for there yoiu should be able to boot off a cd rom usb etc | 00:06 |
L3top | it will bring up a menu which will allow you to enter recovery console | 00:06 |
cleric_preston | Fyodorovna: It's not for sure for Win7. | 00:06 |
benjamindaines | schweet | 00:06 |

pkkid | gogeta, Running >> sudo grub-install /dev/sda1: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?). | 00:10 |
nwilson5 | with multiple drives, i want my ssd to be the root/boot drive, so it is say /dev/sdb, and /dev/sdb1 is /boot and /dev/sdb2 is /. When I designate "Device for boot loader installation" should that point to /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1...? | 00:10 |
Fyodorovna | !nounity | 00:10 |
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 | 00:10 |
zak_ | can some one help me with something// | 00:10 |
L3top | That is correct... lol thanks Fyodorovna | 00:10 |
gogeta | pkkid: it would just be sda i beleve | 00:10 |
tailf | L3top: hmm strange timing.. i was just trying to create a memtest usb boot device but it wouldnt work with the disk creator. then tried installing unetbootin but it got complicated so i gave up | 00:10 |
gogeta | pkkid: your installing onto the mbr not the partation | 00:10 |
pkkid | gogeta, same error. | 00:10 |
smil3y | !classic | 00:10 |
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 | 00:10 |

pkkid | gogeta, This is the second CD I made, and about the 5th time I installed.. | 00:12 |
L3top | talif startup disk creator has issues going version to version, I believe due to the initramfs version, but don't quote me... unetbootin does its own thing, which screws up (our) custom boot menu, but works very well going version to version. | 00:12 |
pkkid | gogeta, I did not join this channel after going through my do dilligence | 00:12 |

gogeta | clark: yay | 00:13 |
pkkid | nwilson5, Black screen with a blinking cursor. And I saw the LONG post on on the Ubuntu forums about this, and I can't seem to get through the commands they say to run in there without errors. | 00:13 |
zak_ | may i please get help lol | 00:14 |
gogeta | pkkid: press esc after bios ou should see it apper | 00:14 |

pkkid | gogeta, This is the forum I am been trying to get through: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1743535 -- If you look at comment #3, I can't even get the chroot command to work (says /bin/bash not found) even tho it exists and I can run it outside of the chroot command. | 00:15 |
pkkid | nwilson5, Did you happen to get anywhere with it? | 00:15 |
cordyceps | just upgrade to 12.04 and have no audio. Alsamixer IS un-muted. | 00:16 |
zak_ | i have a usb wifi adapter and i need help getting it to work on ubuntu | 00:16 |
gogeta | pkkid: that means something is wrong eith your install | 00:16 |
MonkeyDust | zak_ you may need usb-modeswitch | 00:16 |
ThePendulum1 | How do I change the splash screen resolution? | 00:16 |
zak_ | whats that? | 00:16 |
nwilson5 | no pkkid trying other installs. my install is a bit non standard though. Raid on 4 drives, ssd for OS/root | 00:16 |
sw0rdfish | MonkeyDust, gogeta: when did 12.04 come out? | 00:16 |
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? | 00:16 |

sw0rdfish | MonkeyDust, gogeta: then in that case I WISH I never updated! lol | 00:17 |
pkkid | gogeta, I can run /bin/bash fine.. but running "sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash" is what fails | 00:17 |
gogeta | sw0rdfish: if you where using dis wrapper you probly need to just redo it | 00:17 |
hilikus | elijah: did you try .bashrc? | 00:17 |
sw0rdfish | MonkeyDust, ohh... I didn't know its family-friendly... got it boss :) | 00:17 |

sw0rdfish | back to 11.10 | 00:18 |
hilikus | elijah: yes | 00:18 |
pkkid | Fyodorovna, No, I have a fresh install Ubuntu 64bit | 00:18 |
MonkeyDust | sw0rdfish fresh install 11.10 | 00:18 |
pkkid | Fyodorovna, Downloaded, burned to a CD, booted it up and installed (multible times). | 00:18 |
sw0rdfish | nah I have info on the hdd I can't wipe it out | 00:18 |
sw0rdfish | so I guess I'll try fixing this. | 00:18 |
elijah | hilikus: I would prefer to keep it in .bash_profile, I just need to figure out how to resource it the same way as login does it. | 00:19 |
gogeta | pkkid: or maybe its tossing grub somewhere else | 00:19 |
sw0rdfish | man | 00:19 |
hilikus | elijah: what about sourcing it from bashrc then? | 00:19 |
sw0rdfish | I just assumed that if update service stopped for Maverick that 12.10 must be out so I kept upgrading and upgrading the system, you know what i mean. | 00:19 |
pkkid | gogeta, I tried running the boot-repair utility on the last install, and even that failed. | 00:19 |
zak_ | how do i get usb-modeswitch | 00:19 |
sw0rdfish | gogeta, MonkeyDust ^^ | 00:19 |
zak_ | im a noob at ubuntu btw | 00:20 |
Fyodorovna | pkkid, the script will show a lot of helpful info you might try it for yourself. | 00:20 |

caseymcgt | where are the 3d acceleration options? | 00:20 |
gogeta | pkkid: during install you should ctrl alt f1 and see if your getting io errors | 00:20 |
dougb_freebsd | pkkid: didn't the bot tell you the answer a long time ago? | 00:20 |
pkkid | gogeta, ctrl+alt+f1 does not workl, I don't get that far in the boot process | 00:20 |
gogeta | pkkid: during live cd and it will | 00:21 |
gogeta | pkkid: any errors will get displayed there wile installing | 00:21 |
elijah | hilikus: I suppose that would work, I take it there isn't a way to just simulate login so .bash_profile is reloaded for all new bash sessions then? | 00:22 |
pkkid | dougb_freebsd, sure, it tells you how to reinstall grub, and the command errors out (I posted the error above) | 00:22 |
scwizard | "The easiest way to solve that is just to open Totem media player (Alt+F2 totem or from your menu audio and video -> multimedia player) | 00:22 |

ztag100 | Yes | 00:43 |
Audr | After doing the command 'sudo apt-get update', and then updating.. why is it that there are still updates waiting in the Update Manager? Should have the update command taken care of that? | 00:43 |
dakotawulfy | has support for the digital tv | 00:44 |
ztag100 | Audr: No | 00:44 |
dakotawulfy | but cant change the cach on it | 00:44 |
ztag100 | Audr: use the command sudo apt-get upgrade | 00:44 |
Fyodorovna | ztag100, col no big problem, testdisk has a fix for removing grub, and at the least you can just load the windows boot to the main C if needed. | 00:44 |
ztag100 | update syncs your repos | 00:44 |
Audr | ztag100, but wont that take me to 12.04 | 00:44 |
Ubunter | Thanks sirrisffsalot and hilikus, found it! | 00:44 |
Fyodorovna | cool* | 00:44 |
Audr | ztag100, ooo ok | 00:44 |
ztag100 | Oh | 00:44 |
Jordan_U | ztag100: Follow the instructions at http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector to restore your boot sector, and in the future remember that grub's boot sector should always be installed to the mbr *never* to a partition. | 00:44 |
zacarias | My dash in 12.04 (Unity 2D) doesn't autohide. How do I do that? | 00:45 |
Audr | ztag100, so how do I download updates with the terminal ? I thought the apt-get update did that | 00:45 |
Queops | zacarias, system settings | 00:46 |
Jordan_U | ztag100: To clarify, those instructions will restore your Windows PBR. | 00:46 |
ztag100 | Ok | 00:46 |
sloucher | Audr: apt-get upgrade | 00:46 |
Audr | sloucher, will that take me over to 12.04? | 00:46 |
sloucher | Audr: ah no | 00:46 |
Casey | I'm installing ubuntu on a server, should i sue ext3 or ext4? | 00:46 |
ztag100 | Jordan_U: Do I run them from a LiveCD or from Ubuntu on my HD? | 00:46 |
Audr | sloucher, what is the command to upgrade to 12.04? | 00:47 |
Casey | i don't have but about 20gb of memory on it | 00:47 |
sloucher | Audr: I don't know Audr google it should come right up | 00:47 |
Audr | k | 00:47 |
Audr | sloucher, >_> apt-get upgrade will take me to new version | 00:48 |
Audr | sloucher, how do I just get updates without going to next version | 00:48 |
sloucher | audr no, just update what ever version you have now | 00:48 |
dakotawulfy | does any one know about the new vlc 2.0.1?? | 00:48 |
Audr | slobro, but what if a person does not want to update to a next version. | 00:49 |
taxman | i think, you can compile vlc by yourself if it doesn't work | 00:49 |
sloucher | Audr: yeah, no need apt-get upgrade will update you present version. | 00:49 |
dakotawulfy | it works | 00:50 |
dougb_freebsd | Audr: if you run the updater, it will give you updates for the current version, and an option to update to the next that you can ignore | 00:50 |
dakotawulfy | but just have to change the cach size for the digital tv | 00:50 |
pkkid | gogeta: No go. Im looking at a black screen with blinking cursor. ;( | 00:50 |
Audr | dougb_freebsd, so if I do 'sudo apt-get upgrade', it will download me the current version updates, then give me the option to go to next version? | 00:50 |
Casey | I'm installing ubuntu on a server, should i sue ext3 or ext4? | 00:50 |
Audr | ext4 | 00:51 |
pkkid | gogeta: Shall I boot back into the live cd? | 00:51 |
dougb_freebsd | I'm talking about the Update Manager | 00:51 |
Casey | or would ext3 be faster as i only have bout 20gb of momory | 00:51 |
Audr | dougb_freebsd, does the command not do the same thing? | 00:51 |
dougb_freebsd | I don't know, Update Manager is safer :) | 00:52 |
Audr | dougb_freebsd, .... | 00:52 |
ztag100 | Jordan_U: In the guide you linked me, it says "Select the Windows system partition and choose "boot"" | 00:52 |
gogeta | pkkid: darn | 00:53 |
gogeta | pkkid: i wonder if its grub realet | 00:53 |
ztag100 | does this mean the main windows partition or the one that has the bootloader | 00:53 |
ztag100 | ? | 00:53 |
gogeta | pkkid: it should say os not found or grub resxue | 00:53 |
pkkid | That forum link I sent you implies its grub and my video card maybe. But I need to chroot and comment out some lines in the grub cfg. But every time I tried that I hit errors. | 00:54 |
pkkid | Forgive my typos. Im on my iPad. | 00:54 |
dbdii407 | I'm trying to change a button on my keyboard to something else. Anyone happen to know how to do that? | 00:54 |
pkkid | I switched the good drive just now and I get os not found. But if I put it back to the other it gives that blank screen. | 00:55 |
pkkid | gogeta: Perhaps you can help me get through some of those chroot commands? | 00:55 |
nwilson5 | still working on the blank screen? :P I'm trying another reinstall | 00:56 |
Klikini | When booting after upgrading to 12.04 from 11.10, it stalls with the ubuntu logo and the dots going. Pressing an F# key opens a log where there are repeated "-tion manager" / "[fail]" entries. the screen cuts off the first part of "-tion". It stays like this for a long time and will not boot. Help? | 00:56 |
ztag100 | any one? | 00:56 |
syntroPi | I bought a new CANON LIDE 210 usb scanner and first time after usb connect using it with sane i get colored vertical stripes (each time on different columns) at 2400dpi. Every scan after that faulty one seems to be ok?! Any ideas for a possible explanation (Faulty hardware/firmware/drivers/uninitialised buffers)?? | 00:56 |
ztag100 | Does anyone have any ideas? | 00:57 |
Klikini | !updatemanager | 00:57 |
nwilson5 | out of curiosity pkkid are you using one or two monitors | 00:57 |
spacebug- | syntroPi: I have one of those and have not had any problems. Though not tried it out so much, usually just use simple scan to scan my documents | 00:58 |
pkkid | nwilson5: One 30" monitor. | 00:58 |
dakotawulfy | pkkid one video card??? | 00:58 |
=== esm is now known as Guest27848 | ||
nwilson5 | did you determine it was a grub/graphics card issue | 00:59 |
dakotawulfy | i have 2 and did have a problem | 00:59 |
nwilson5 | i couldn't figure out the grub config stuff earlier | 00:59 |
syntroPi | spacebug- strange thing is its only the first scan @2400dpi after usb connect and those colored columns are not sticky (different each first scan) | 00:59 |
pkkid | dakotawulfy: One video card. Nvidia GTX 480. | 00:59 |
L3top | pkkid: is it a n nvid | 00:59 |
L3top | oh yeah... it is... | 01:00 |
pkkid | :) | 01:00 |
nwilson5 | mine isn't nvidia | 01:00 |
nwilson5 | but am using two monitors | 01:00 |
syntroPi | spacebug- i just want to know if its a hw problem (then i will return it) or a software/driver problem (then i will invest some time fiddling around with it or wait)... | 01:00 |
pkkid | Im installing team viewer again. | 01:00 |
krababbel | ztag100: you can restore the boot loader with windows resucue mode | 01:00 |
spacebug- | syntroPi: what program do you use to scan? | 01:00 |
L3top | pkkid can you boot -nomodset | 01:00 |
syntroPi | spacebug- simple scan | 01:01 |
zacarias | Queops: I can't find it in the system settings. Which section? | 01:01 |
* L3top is in and out... pkkid can you tell me where you are in the process? | 01:01 | |
krababbel | ztag100: then install grub to mbr | 01:01 |
Jordan_U | nwilson5: Grub's boot sector should always be installed to the MBR of a drive, like /dev/sda, *never* to a partition boot record like /dev/sda1. | 01:01 |
spacebug- | syntroPi: ok, I will try it out some. Do you mean first scan after you plug in the cable or after the program is lanuched? | 01:01 |
pkkid | L3top: I cant seem to chroot my drive to update grub at all either. I keep getting errors. I think I dont know enough in that area to do it. | 01:01 |

syntroPi | spacebug-, yes photo res | 01:02 |
Jordan_U | ztag100: The Windows System Partition is the one whose PBR needs to be restored, that's the small partition with just the Windows bootloader (sda2 in your case). | 01:03 |
pkkid | L3top: I can install fine. But I cant get it to boot or even show me a grub menu. | 01:03 |
spacebug- | syntroPi: ok let me check. Gonna find something to scan ;) | 01:03 |
syntroPi | spacebug-, empty scan is fine too | 01:03 |
ztag100 | thanks | 01:03 |
dakotawulfy | l3top if he hits the esc key that will show the boot stufff?? | 01:03 |
L3top | pkkid can you get recovery console booting while holding space? | 01:03 |
Jordan_U | steemed: Are you trying to run a 32 bit binary on a 54 bit Ubuntu install? | 01:03 |
sorts_of_problem | LAPTOP, my company staff bought several LAPTOP, they install Windows Vista. They need to reinstall the operating system, but they don't want to pay the computer service expense to manufacturer. Should I install Linux on these computers, will cause hardware problems? | 01:04 |
pkkid | L3top: Nope. I cant get to anything after the bios. | 01:04 |
L3top | dakotawulfy: if you press esc it should drop you out of plymouth (boot splash) | 01:04 |
steemed | Jordan_U: 54 bit, lol. Yes | 01:04 |
Daekdroom | sorts_of_problem, you're better of testing the LiveCD first to check for hardware issues. | 01:04 |
dakotawulfy | ok | 01:04 |
dakotawulfy | then he could see where it stops right | 01:05 |
L3top | pkkid I can walk you through chrooting | 01:05 |
Jordan_U | steemed: Well clearly we both have a problem :). You need to install 32 bit libraries to run 32 bit applications. | 01:05 |
steemed | Jordan_U: thanks, I forget, what's the package for basic 32 bit libs? | 01:05 |
pkkid | L3top: That would be helpful, thanks. Would team viewer help at all? | 01:05 |

ztag100 | Jordan_U: did you just say 54 bit? | 01:05 |
ztag100 | :P | 01:05 |

dakotawulfy | pkkid u got a wirless keyboard ?? | 01:05 |
steemed | ztag100: he sure did :P | 01:05 |
Daekdroom | steemed, before 11.10 it used to be ia32-libs. Since 11.10 there's multiarch. | 01:05 |
pkkid | dakotawulfy: Nope wired mouse and keyboard. | 01:06 |

pkkid | L3top: I can install Vic or whatever is easier for you. im on a live cd. Lol. | 01:06 |

pkkid | I am in this channel on my iPad. | 01:08 |
L3top | open terminal and sudo -s pkkid | 01:08 |
Jordan_U | ztag100: Sorry, I should have had you fix that first. Boot a LiveCD/USB and follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot | 01:08 |
pkkid | Ok im root | 01:09 |
L3top | I don't need it, just easier for you to ctrl shift v than type it | 01:09 |
spacebug- | syntroPi: seems I have them too | 01:09 |
pkkid | Ok. | 01:09 |
Jordan_U | ztag100: After you've successfully booted into your Ubuntu installation again, run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to configure the grub-pc pacakge to always install grub to the mbr on upgrades. | 01:09 |
L3top | chroot <ctrl shift v> | 01:09 |
sorts_of_problem | I should buy a Linux LiveCD from distributor, and want to see if there is a tool can zero hard disk. Download from cyber cafe can't promise no virus, absolutely, a lot of risks. | 01:09 |

syntroPi | spacebug- first i thought those are hw dead pixels and the firmware would recognise/hide them with neighbours for second scan, but then they would have to be sticky (on same column each first scan, but they are on different random columns here). Maybe the init is not quite finished somehow (buffer/calibration)?? | 01:21 |

Jordan_U | walterwoj: You should be able to install Backtrack as if to an internal drive, though you'd have to confirm that in their support channel. I already said that you can simply use Ubuntu's installer and install to the USB drive the same way you would an internal drive. After you do that it will be bootable. | 01:27 |
ztag100 | Place GRUB into: sda | 01:27 |
ztag100 | right? | 01:27 |
Jordan_U | taxman: What was that supposed to mean? | 01:27 |

Syliss | mine is an early 2008 non unibody one | 02:12 |
onats | hydrox24: designed on ubuntu? | 02:12 |
taxman | O.o | 02:12 |
ozzloy | https://github.com/ozzloy/oble i used to use X screensaver stuff, but that's no longer installed by default | 02:12 |
hydrox24 | onats: not sure, but it's designed to be a virtualization system for servers | 02:12 |
ozzloy | and i don't want to do something like "move the cursor a couple pixels" | 02:12 |
onats | hydrox24: www.xen.org? | 02:13 |
dalton2345 | hydrox is it worth to get an "old" mbp ? | 02:13 |
Syliss | i used to use ubuntu all the time on my old acer but i got my mbp free from a friend cause it was dead and apple replaced the main board free out of warranty and haven't used ubuntu since | 02:13 |
vanity | Hmm.. why my laptop's CPU temperture is high in ubuntu/kubuntu. (60'C in idle / 90'C max) | 02:13 |
vanity | 48'C in MS Windows 7 | 02:13 |
alusion | Is gnome shell 3 on 12.04 buggy or smooth sailing? | 02:13 |
hydrox24 | vanity: are you sure that the readings are accurate? | 02:14 |
hydrox24 | alusion: I have the same question, I am using gnome shell on 11.10 and I'm happy with it, but not sure about 12.04 | 02:14 |
alusion | I already made the switch, unless someone has already done it before which I presume is most probable, I can try it and tell you results after 10 minutes if anyone else hasn't already | 02:15 |
Dawn262 | I agree with hydrox24 , am gonna wait for the first update to 12 before I upgrade | 02:15 |
* Dawn262 is holding her breath waiting for alusion 's report... | 02:16 | |
vanity | hydrox24: i can;t touch my cpu fan. because it is too hot. But fan is running fast. lmsensor and acpi show same temperture | 02:18 |

ejv | 12.04.1 is July 19th :) | 02:21 |
Dawn262 | 's ok is interesting here | 02:21 |
hydrox24 | koffel: try #linux if | 02:21 |
ejv | i agree with you, im also waiting | 02:21 |
vanity | hydrox24: surely it is installed and work correctly | 02:22 |
koffel | hydro why linux channel | 02:22 |
ejv | i just got around to install 10.04.4 so im having a derp moment having to reset it all up again; doh! | 02:22 |
ailton | theborger: thanks | 02:23 |
vanity | koffel : try #apt-get install isc-dhcp-server. And edit conf file in /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf file. | 02:29 |
vanity | and run #dhcpd if0 ethX | 02:30 |
alusion | At the moment, the bugs in regards to gnome shell on 12.04 is limited to extensions not working | 02:30 |
* Dawn262 huggles alusion. | 02:31 | |
Dawn262 | Thanks | 02:31 |

harold | by the way, what is the proper name of the thing that has the icons? | 02:33 |
harold | that appears from the left when you take your mouse leftmost? | 02:33 |
harold | in windows I guess it would be taskbar... what is it in ubuntu-land? | 02:33 |
harold | Launcher! I guess? | 02:34 |
Fyodorovna | harold, unity panel? | 02:34 |

ubuntu606 | did anyone upgrade to ubuntu 12.04 yet?? | 02:36 |
nathaneltitane_ | hello guys. having a weird bug with 1204 ARM: i installed the opengl driver for the pandaboard and i am now getting a duplicate notification area on the unity panel (2d) of which, only the middle one functions. the one that is at the normal position seems to be a ghost | 02:36 |
Fyodorovna | ubuntu606, many have what is the real issue? | 02:36 |
dakotawulfy | ubuntu606 yea | 02:36 |
harold | Fyodorovna: basically what I want to be able to do is have the emacs icon execute emacsclient instead of emacs, would I use 'ccsm' to achieve this? | 02:36 |
ubuntu606 | ive just noticed a big performance shot compared to the last LTS | 02:37 |
ubuntu606 | hopefully itll improve ass the update come in | 02:37 |
ubuntu606 | updates** | 02:37 |
Fyodorovna | harold, I'm not familiar with that, but if they show different icons save the one there needed, with a right click. | 02:37 |
dakotawulfy | going to install xubuntu | 02:37 |
=== TheNexT is now known as Guest52166 | ||
ubuntu606 | has anyone noticed the performance difference between 12.04 and previous releases?? | 02:38 |
xmrk | not really | 02:38 |
dakotawulfy | any one good with vlc ??? | 02:39 |
bazhang | dakotawulfy, whats the exact question | 02:39 |
ubuntu606 | probably because i updated from beta 2 then.. ill probably do a fresh install | 02:39 |
nathaneltitane_ | hello? | 02:40 |
xmrk | i did a fresh install and i feel like unity is more responsive than in 11.10 | 02:40 |
dakotawulfy | ok vlc 2.0.1 has the digital tv built in now i need to set the cach for it but they took out that setting under dvb | 02:40 |
ubuntu606 | i might have to dothat too then.. it will take a while to download though haha | 02:40 |
bazhang | dakotawulfy, asked in #videolan yet? | 02:41 |
athetius | I am wondering if Ubuntu has a way to install it from another Linux OS without a livedisk. (Like Gentoo does with the stage3) | 02:41 |
dakotawulfy | bazhang need to set the dvb or now tv setting on live stream cach to 2500 to make all my channels work right | 02:42 |

athetius | ztag100: Just set the other patition to mount at /home | 02:44 |
bazhang | !home | ztag100 like this? | 02:44 |
ubottu | ztag100 like this?: 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 | 02:44 |
ztag100 | I don't want to mount the whole partition though | 02:44 |
bazhang | dakotawulfy, /join #freenode for help with registering | 02:44 |
athetius | ztag100: You are going to have to mount it to get access to it. However, you can mount it in say /mnt and then 'ln -s /mnt/home /home' | 02:45 |
ztag100 | yes | 02:46 |
ztag100 | that's what I want | 02:46 |
ztag100 | can I do that? | 02:46 |
athetius | ztag100: edit your /etc/fstab for the new partition to where ever, then link it. | 02:47 |
=== Guest52166 is now known as Zugzwang | ||
ztag100 | that's what I want to do | 02:47 |
ztag100 | will this work? | 02:47 |
Dawn262 | ztag100, yes, but back up your /home first. some systems balk at the remount. my old asus mobo would NOT allow it... | 02:47 |
ztag100 | nothing in the /hoe | 02:48 |

athetius | ztag100: What is the fs for sda5? | 02:56 |
ztag100 | ? | 02:57 |
athetius | ztag100: Filesystem, like ext4, btrfs, jfs, or vfat | 02:57 |
ztag100 | ah | 02:57 |
ztag100 | vfat | 02:57 |
ztag100 | (it's shared with a windows computer) | 02:58 |
ztag100 | I mean partition | 02:58 |

ubottu | ztag100: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 02:59 |
athetius | ztag100: add vfat as the third column "/dev/sda5 /mnt/data vfat rw,user,auto 0 0" | 02:59 |
ztag100 | and what do I use for ntfs? | 02:59 |
ztag100 | doesn't seem to be working | 03:00 |
athetius | ztag100: ntfs-3g instead of vfat | 03:00 |
ztag100 | do I need to do anything to reload it? | 03:00 |
athetius | ztag100: you can run "mount -a" as root (or use sudo) | 03:02 |
ztag100 | hey it works! | 03:03 |
escott | athetius, i think with a users fs you need to mount as you uid otherwise ownership is left as uid=0 | 03:03 |
monkeyphant | my esata-port doesn't work anymore. unlikely to be a software issue, when the internal sata ports are working fine? on the other hand, why would only one port fail? where do I even start looking for the cause? | 03:03 |
ztag100 | It works | 03:03 |
athetius | escott: I thought the user option took care of that | 03:04 |
escott | athetius, but with sudo uid 0 is doing the mounting so uid=0 is the user. he wants uid=1000 to do the mounting | 03:05 |
ztag100 | athetius, the link you sent me earlier is a 404 | 03:05 |
athetius | escott: Ah, okay. I see your point. | 03:05 |
athetius | ztag100: different site but info should be good: http://techthrob.com/2010/09/26/softlinks-vs-hardlinks-a-quick-explanation/ | 03:06 |
Ethyne | Hello, in the process of installing my video drivers, I noticed my menus were transparent but disappeared after reboot. How can I re-enable transparency again ? | 03:06 |
athetius | ztag100: Also, add uid=1000,gid=1000 to your options as in "rw,user,uid=1000,gid=1000,auto" | 03:07 |
ztag100 | ok | 03:08 |
ztag100 | It says I can't hardlink accross file systems | 03:09 |
Ethyne | I also have another problem, I have Dialog opened that opened a secondary Dialog that is hidden and awaiting user interaction. The secondary dialog is not on my launcher panel or in Tab-Switch, so I can't close the primary dialog short of a restart. What are my options of closing the primary dialog? | 03:10 |
escott | ztag100, thats normal. what are you doing that is causing you to try and hardlink across fs | 03:10 |
ztag100 | well, my goal is for my home directory to be on a different partition | 03:11 |
ztag100 | but, I want it to be the subdirectory on this partition | 03:11 |
hyq | ztag100:use mount -o bind /another_home /home | 03:12 |
kyndig | Hiya. I'm trying to install android sdk. adb gives the error "... No such file or directory" | 03:12 |
escott | ztag100, just having a subdirectory on another partition should not cause hardlinks across fses | 03:12 |
ztag100 | one partition is fat the other is ext4 | 03:12 |
ztag100 | that's not my problem | 03:13 |
ztag100 | I'm trying hyq's solution | 03:13 |
ztag100 | can you run sudo from guest? | 03:15 |
escott | ztag100, you should not be able to | 03:15 |
ztag100 | nope | 03:15 |
ztag100 | And, I just effed up bad | 03:15 |
ztag100 | when I copied everything over, I forgot the hidden files | 03:15 |
escott | ztag100, the bind mount should not fix your hardlink problem either | 03:16 |
ztag100 | escott: if that works, I won't need to hardlink | 03:16 |
escott | ztag100, why not just mount directly to the desired path instead of bind mounting | 03:16 |
ztag100 | ? | 03:16 |
athetius | escott: his other partition is windows, and he wants his home in that partition. | 03:17 |
cordyceps | what's the best DVD player for ubuntu? | 03:18 |
vivid | vlc | 03:18 |
somethinginteres | can I add specific video sites to ubuntu's new "online" search lens? | 03:18 |
urbancommando | agreed | 03:18 |
escott | athetius, (a) thats a very bad idea and will break thinks like ssh client (b) why not just list /home/username as the mountpoint in fstab | 03:18 |
hyq | ztag100,If you want use a partition as your home directory, you can "mount /dev/<your partition> /home" | 03:18 |
cordyceps | vivid: that for me? | 03:18 |
vivid | yea, vlc works great for everything on all platforms, one stop shopping | 03:18 |
ztag100 | I don't want the whole partition, just a directoy in the partition | 03:19 |
escott | ztag100, so symlink the folders (like ~/Desktop or ~/Music) to the appropriate folder in the desired partition. but dont hardlink | 03:19 |
hyq | ztag100, symlink is a better idea | 03:20 |

anath3ma | im trying to isntall 12.04 in my netbook (that has win7 and 2 other linux distros) and the partitions are not shown in the installer. is the partition table broken? the grub works ok :S | 03:24 |
hyq | kyndig, you are in x86_64 system? and the android sdk is i386 | 03:24 |
boliviano3 | hey guys, does anyone know why I don't get the option to install 12.04 alongside windows 7? I only get the options to "erase disk and install" and "something else" | 03:24 |
jjmilne1 | If that doesn't work then I'll try something else. | 03:24 |
robinsch | jjmilne1: my problem is that ubuntu just crashes out of nowhere and logs out | 03:25 |
jjmilne1 | That's odd. | 03:25 |
robinsch | jjmilne1: ya | 03:25 |
robinsch | jjmilne1: i didn't install anything | 03:25 |
robinsch | jjmilne1: clean install | 03:25 |
robinsch | jjmilne1: twic | 03:25 |
robinsch | twice* | 03:25 |
escott | ztag100, wrong ownership on that file, perhaps because of your weird mounting tricks | 03:25 |
jjmilne1 | See if you can use google to find the bug report for it | 03:25 |
jjmilne1 | And are you running x64? | 03:25 |
ztag100 | i checked, it has the right owner | 03:25 |
robinsch | jjmilne1: ya | 03:25 |
jjmilne1 | If all fails you could see if x86 works properly | 03:25 |
anath3ma | anyone knows what to do about broken partition table? | 03:26 |
robinsch | jjmilne1: i am trying to look for help online apperently i am the onlyone with this issue | 03:26 |
kyndig | Yeah, 64 in virtualbox. My first attempt trying both the OS and VM. Thanks. | 03:26 |
hyq | kyndig, I think you need install the 32bit runtime libs | 03:26 |
jjmilne1 | yeah if you're really tired of it and just don't care anymore I'd try the x86 version as a last resort | 03:26 |
hiro24 | when I boot up, the login screen fails to load (lightdm). Anybody have any ideas why? | 03:27 |
hyq | kyndig, "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs" | 03:27 |

abs | umm... guys, when I play youtube videos or something the colors are off. Human skin is always like blue... whatś going on here? | 03:37 |
escott | ztag100, its a bad idea. you may be able to get away with it, but its a bad idea | 03:38 |
robinsch | Lazik: i see lots of messages by apparmor in dmesg | 03:38 |
Grecoo | do you know how to put the gnome applets on the panel? | 03:38 |
ldv2 | help! | 03:38 |
robinsch | Lazik: is that abmornal? | 03:38 |
casa | hi | 03:38 |
robinsch | Lazik: as far as i can see there are no errors | 03:38 |
Fat-Thing | escott, i dont get it...u want me to do the ctrl atl f1? | 03:38 |
ldv2 | I cannot upgrade to 12.04 | 03:38 |
urbancommando | robisnsch is it asking you to upgrade ? | 03:38 |
Lazik | robinsch: I see nothing | 03:39 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: you're better off with your /home on a unix file system | 03:39 |
robinsch | Lazik: ok | 03:39 |
ztag100 | athetius: well, what should I do, the point of my idea is so I can save media and data to one partition | 03:39 |
escott | Fat-Thing, if you want to go ahead and do it. you will "see" getty waiting for your login. ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to the gi | 03:39 |
escott | Fat-Thing, gui | 03:39 |
HoNgOuRu | hi, how do I change the size of de desktop ? menus are huge... windows are big too... my resolution is 1680x1050 | 03:39 |
ztag100 | that both windows and linux can read | 03:39 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: that's why you created the data partition, right? | 03:40 |
ztag100 | yes | 03:40 |
athetius | ztag100: you can also just mount the windows share as /windows and symlink the media together. | 03:40 |
L3top | I believe there is a problem with precise 64 and SSD. What logs would be useful for bug file other than describing the symptoms of the abject failures? Installs perfect on spinning drive. | 03:40 |
dougb_freebsd | Ok, so what's the problem? :) | 03:40 |
robinsch | Lazik: i almost always logs off when i play a vid from http://screencasts.ubuntu.com in firefox | 03:40 |
ztag100 | dougb_freebsd: how does your setup work, you were telling me earlier that you had a setup similar to this | 03:40 |
varactor | i have precise 64 on an ssd, it went through without any problems | 03:40 |
kyndig | hyq, i think you quit. If you see this, thanks. worked perfectly. | 03:41 |
robinsch | Lazik: can it be html5 issue? | 03:41 |
mcdonc | also have precise 64 on ssd (crucial m4 on a thinkpad) | 03:41 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: yes ... exactly like that | 03:41 |
ztag100 | do you use symlinks or what? | 03:41 |
varactor | aye, same setup, other than the drive | 03:41 |
robinsch | Lazik: but it also fails with i have 2 windows side by side | 03:41 |
dougb_freebsd | no, I configure the applications in both OS' to access the stuff where it lives | 03:42 |
robinsch | Lazik: like snap feature, but i notice compiz taking like 60% of cpu | 03:42 |
ztag100 | ok | 03:42 |
roasted | Question - someone just asked me, does Ubuntu have a Windows-like "restore" utility? I had never even come across the need for one, but nonetheless, I figured I'd ask since I'm a bit curious now... Any idea? | 03:42 |
ztag100 | Got it | 03:42 |
varactor | L3top, what exactly is the issue? | 03:42 |
robinsch | Lazik: i have a i5 processor too | 03:42 |
ztag100 | I think I know how I'm going to do this now | 03:42 |
dougb_freebsd | so if you have /data/Videos, /data/Pictures ... etc. | 03:42 |
dougb_freebsd | then you just tell the applications you're interested in to look for the stuff there | 03:43 |
athetius | roasted: Yes and no. You can backup settings files and media files, but nothing quite like restore | 03:43 |
ldv2 | every time i try to upgrade I get "could not install the upgrades Error during commit E: couldn't configure pre-depend libtinfo5 for libincurses 5, probably a dependency cycle. Restoring original system state. | 03:43 |
pndemc_ | is it worth it to install the windows dll's into wine? | 03:43 |

robinsch | ok it i leave in next few mins, ubuntu probabbly crashed | 03:43 |
Lint | pndemc_, in some cases | 03:43 |
roasted | athetius, so nothing for the OS itself besides brewing up an image, no? | 03:43 |
jjmilne1 | robinsch, if you're ready to try anything at this point I'd try the 32 bit version. It could work | 03:44 |
pndemc_ | Lint, how about for steam? | 03:44 |
pndemc_ | Lint, would it make games more playable? | 03:44 |
jjmilne1 | Steam works well, the games run sort of eh. I've had success with Civ V | 03:44 |
Stelpa | ok, bad news and good news: bad news is that i ALMOST totally destroyed my computer (it crashed DURING an update to 12.04 LTS, not good). GOOD NEWS, i fixed everything (i think) by repairing packages; just need one last check; how can i make sure everything is in it's right place? | 03:44 |
Lint | which one dll? | 03:44 |
mogaj | pls can someone guide me here after updating my system to ubuntu 12.04 am getting this error while i use 'bundle exec rake generate' ..... http://pastebin.com/DTGgUUdF | 03:44 |
varactor | depends, linux is getting a native steam app, i think all source engine games will be ported | 03:45 |
Stelpa | everythinnnnnnnng in it's right placeeeeeeee | 03:45 |
HoNgOuRu | is there any way to change dpi in ubuntu ? | 03:45 |
HoNgOuRu | everything is big | 03:45 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: something like this should make things simple for you: http://pastebin.com/88M9r0W6 | 03:45 |
Stelpa | is there at least something i can type in the term to find version number? | 03:45 |
Stelpa | that's all i need | 03:45 |
hobblesworth | Stelpa: --version | 03:46 |
ldv2 | What do I do? | 03:46 |
mcdonc | Stelpa: lsb_release -a | 03:46 |
Lint | varactor, that´s a rumor | 03:46 |
robinsch | interesting seems to not be crashing just yet | 03:46 |
ztag100 | dougb_freebsd: I made the dirs | 03:46 |
robinsch | maybe soon | 03:46 |
ztag100 | now, I just need to sym link | 03:46 |
Stelpa | mcdonc: yes!!! everything seems good! yippee!! :D | 03:46 |
mcdonc | congrats ;-) | 03:46 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: that'll make things easy in ubuntu, and then in windows 7 you should be able to configure the directories in /data as a library | 03:46 |
ldv2 | every time i try to upgrade I get "could not install the upgrades Error during commit E: couldn't configure pre-depend libtinfo5 for libincurses 5, probably a dependency cycle. Restoring original system state. | 03:46 |

ldv2 | Please HELP! | 03:47 |
Stelpa | i didn't screw everything up this time, lol | 03:47 |
Stelpa | until next time ;) | 03:47 |
varactor | the screw ups are what makes it fun | 03:47 |
jjmilne1 | haha ive been distro hopping for years now every now and then. I'll stick with this one for a while | 03:47 |
hollenjf | how do I specify the username with command line ftp? | 03:48 |
Lint | why unity-indicator-network conflicts with network manager | 03:48 |

mogaj | _config.yml file --- http://paste.ubuntu.com/951511/ | 03:48 |

=== ldv2 is now known as NEED | ||
ztag100 | that's my plan | 03:49 |
varactor | mcdonc, do you have a slice battery? | 03:49 |

NEED | Please HELP! | 03:49 |
robinsch_ | ok guys ubuntu just crashed | 03:49 |
mcdonc | varactor: not sure what a slice battery is, i just have the stock t410 battery | 03:49 |
hollenjf | Lint: that is incorrect. That is the wrong syntax. | 03:49 |
robinsch_ | on me | 03:49 |
varactor | oh, its an extended battery that slaps into the dock connector | 03:50 |
ztag100 | is there anyway to make a symbol take me to this directory? | 03:50 |
L3top | varactor: Well... after several installs, there is nothing close to grub... just a cursor. Mount from live boot, but chroot not possible, giving "failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error" | 03:50 |
ztag100 | like how ~ represents home | 03:50 |
robinsch_ | jjmilne1: but i always use 64bit | 03:50 |
mcdonc | varactor: ah i see no | 03:50 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: for the unix fs there is no distinction between the symbolic link and a "real" directory | 03:50 |
NEED | every time i try to upgrade I get "could not install the upgrades Error during commit E: couldn't configure pre-depend libtinfo5 for libincurses 5, probably a dependency cycle. Restoring original system state. | 03:50 |
L3top | varactor: spinning disk in same machine, smooth as silk. | 03:50 |
dougb_freebsd | so if you do 'cd ~/Videos' you'll go to the right place | 03:50 |
ztag100 | Yes | 03:50 |
NEED | Please HELP! | 03:51 |
HoNgOuRu | how do I change the size of windows in ubuntu ? | 03:51 |
Lint | of course there is | 03:51 |
ztag100 | but, for me to go to just ~ | 03:51 |
varactor | L3top, dunno D: ahci, uefi | 03:51 |
HoNgOuRu | it is totally wrong | 03:51 |
varactor | all i can think of maybe | 03:51 |
ztag100 | won't that still be the one on the disk? | 03:51 |
voipguy | I am trying to connect to a FreeNAS directory from a box running Ubuntu Linux (Natty version) and for some reason if I get close to about 500 files in one directory on the FreeNAS server, Ubuntu simply refuses to let me access it. None of my other computers seem to have a problem accessing it, just the Ubuntu-based one. I'd really like to know why, and if there's anything I can do about it. | 03:51 |
Lint | half of the tools are considering symlink the files, other half doesn´t | 03:51 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: yes, ~ will be /home/ztag, or whatever your directory is | 03:51 |
varactor | under winders my slice battery would drain, then switch to the regular battery | 03:52 |
ztag100 | dougb_freebsd: and, the only way to change that would be to change my home directory | 03:52 |
ztag100 | right? | 03:52 |
varactor | but now it seems theyre both discharging at the same time | 03:52 |
robinsch | arrrg it crashed again | 03:52 |
=== NEED is now known as YaoPiesie | ||
robinsch | ubuntu keeps on logging me off | 03:52 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: you don't want to change that, because various stuff will be putting files in /home/ztag/.whatever | 03:52 |
ztag100 | thats what I thought | 03:53 |
YaoPiesie | Please HELP! | 03:53 |
dougb_freebsd | and that will be a problem on a non-unix fs | 03:53 |
ztag100 | is there a way to make up a different symbol? | 03:53 |
YaoPiesie | every time i try to upgrade I get "could not install the upgrades Error during commit E: couldn't configure pre-depend libtinfo5 for libincurses 5, probably a dependency cycle. Restoring original system state. | 03:53 |
escott | ztag100, symbol for what | 03:53 |
ztag100 | so for example, I could type | 03:53 |
ztag100 | cd ` | 03:53 |
escott | ztag100, you can just type "cd" and it takes you to $HOME | 03:53 |
ztag100 | and it would take me to my /mnt/data | 03:54 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: no, ~ is the only directory that has that kind of special association | 03:54 |
escott | ztag100, and you can define aliases in .bashrc so that cmu takes you to ~/Music | 03:54 |
ztag100 | ok | 03:54 |
ztag100 | that's what I thought | 03:54 |
varactor | YaoPiesie, if you have a seperate home partition, id just do a fresh install | 03:54 |
lin | anyone know if there are channels on cloud or free cloud services ? | 03:54 |
anand | what does pppd-dns service does? | 03:55 |
ztag100 | escott: that's what I'm looking to do | 03:55 |
athetius | ztag100: I think it's 'alias SYMBOL=~" | 03:56 |
ztag100 | that would be awesome | 03:56 |
escott | ztag100, except it has to be a command. its usually for things like "alias ll="ls -l" | 03:56 |

YaoPiesie | I am new to this side of things, but enjoying a return to the good ol' DOS days of being able to access applications in terminal | 03:59 |
escott | robinsch, thats just the session crashing usually its a bug in the graphics card drivers | 03:59 |
jjmilne1 | You can also search for displays in the dash. | 03:59 |
HoNgOuRu | pepee, no, you dont understand...im running the correct display resolution | 04:00 |

dougb_freebsd | HoNgOuRu: why do you think you're running the right resolution? | 04:00 |
HoNgOuRu | I cant work like this, just cant open many windows they are huge !!!!!! | 04:00 |
YaoPiesie | Thank you. | 04:00 |
HoNgOuRu | dougb_freebsd, cause it is the right res for my 21 inches monitor 1680x1050, Im not that noobie | 04:01 |
pepee | HoNgOuRu, "window management settings" | 04:01 |
dougb_freebsd | HoNgOuRu: no, I mean, what are you seeing that tells you that you are running that resolution? | 04:01 |
robinsch | escott: i have nvidia graphics card, what should i do to get fixed version because i didn't have this issue with previous release | 04:01 |
ztag100 | What ever, it works now | 04:01 |
escott | robinsch, you using proprietary drivers or nouveau? | 04:01 |
ztag100 | I'm not going to mess arround | 04:01 |
HoNgOuRu | xrandr | 04:02 |
pepee | HoNgOuRu, I know you don't mean resolution. windows management in lxde is like in windows (the OS) | 04:02 |
HoNgOuRu | shows the correct display | 04:02 |
robinsch | escott: proprietary drivers | 04:02 |
HoNgOuRu | im running now unity | 04:02 |
HoNgOuRu | or gnome | 04:02 |

escott | robinsch, and thats where the support ends. sorry | 04:02 |
robinsch | escott: i think version 295.40 | 04:02 |

dougb_freebsd | TommyC: someone already answered, so maybe you didn't see the answer, or you're trying to do something different? | 04:09 |

ulkesh | cocolos, try different USB ports, i had to with my BIOS, it doesn't check all of them, just the main ones on the back probably (i.e. not via headers on motherboard) | 04:13 |
rigel | i'm trying to upgrade to 12.04 from 10.04 and i have a bunch of broken packages, but i can't scroll back to see what i need to repair | 04:13 |
rigel | what the shit | 04:13 |
rigel | its in a screen session but that session doesnt take the normal screen ctrl-a commands or something | 04:14 |
Guest68118 | After the 12.04 upgrade on my server, I get this error when using apt-get: "libc6 (> 2.15) but 2.13-20ubuntu5.1 is to be installed" | 04:14 |
Fyodorovna | cocolos, Do you know the boot from key prompt at powering on to get the menu outside of the bios, many times it is f12, your bios should tell you as it shows on powering on generally. | 04:14 |
cocolos | ulkesh: well tried it with dd and it boot it up on that drive but I got an error half way | 04:14 |
pepee | rigel, I think you can't just do that... | 04:14 |
n0wje | rigel try to do a clean install, backup first. | 04:15 |
pepee | rigel, not sure anyway | 04:15 |
rigel | i dont want a clean install | 04:15 |
schultza | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 04:15 |
ulkesh | oh ok cocolos, if it attempted booting, then cool...sounds like a corrupt download of the iso maybe? | 04:15 |
newtoarch | Has anyone got XMonad working with 12.04? | 04:15 |
pepee | rigel, try upgrading to 10.10 then 11.04, etc | 04:15 |
cocolos | ulkesh: should I re download? | 04:15 |
cocolos | ulkesh: and use dd again? | 04:15 |
rigel | pepee: go fuck yourself. i am doing it this way and i just want to figure out how to see which packages are broken | 04:15 |
dr_willis | a dist upgrade does not upgrade to the next release | 04:15 |
HoNgOuRu | no luck | 04:16 |
ulkesh | it's a guess...dd is a pretty stable way of making a bootable USB drive from an ISO | 04:16 |
pepee | rigel, wtf? | 04:16 |
cocolos | ulkesh: ok ill try it | 04:16 |
rigel | because the do-release-upgrade -d throws me into some shitty screen session that i cant scroll back on | 04:16 |
ismarc_netbook | hey folks, I have a toshiba nb505, was running maverick and just did a fresh install of precise and am now have a non-functional touchpad | 04:16 |
HoNgOuRu | no luck with changing lightdm dpi | 04:16 |
ismarc_netbook | rigel: shift page-up/page-down should let you scroll | 04:16 |
rigel | ismarc_netbook: it doesnt | 04:16 |
schultza | what does dist-upgrade do? | 04:16 |
ulkesh | sorry HoNgOuRu, that link was mainly for gnome and unity | 04:16 |
rigel | like i said, its some shitty screen session | 04:17 |
cocolos | can I get a good tutorial for making a bootable usb on a mac | 04:17 |
bazhang | rigel, stop the cursing | 04:17 |
cocolos | using dd | 04:17 |
dr_willis | schultza: a more intensive upgrade from what ive noticed. | 04:17 |
newtoarch | No one using XMonad? | 04:17 |
ismarc_netbook | newtoarch: As soon as I fix my touchpad I'll be getting xmonad set up | 04:17 |
rigel | when it exits with code 1, it only allows me to kill the session with x or something else, but shift-pgup and ctrl-a esc up do fuckall | 04:17 |
varactor | rigel, problem? | 04:17 |
dr_willis | cocolos: dd if=the.iso of=thedevicename no idea what the devicenames are on a mac, | 04:17 |
ulkesh | cocolos, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx | 04:17 |
bazhang | rigel, enough with the bad language | 04:18 |
rigel | varactor: yeah, the screen session of do-release-upgrade | 04:18 |
pepee | cocolos, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#From_Mac_OSX | 04:18 |
HoNgOuRu | ulkesh, np bro | 04:18 |
Fyodorovna | ismarc_netbook, if your all up to date I would lok in aditional drivers you never know. | 04:18 |
rigel | it doesnt take normal commands | 04:18 |
Fyodorovna | look* | 04:18 |
cocolos | thanks everyone!! | 04:18 |
schultza | intensive? as in how? | 04:18 |
dr_willis | cocolos: may be some tools at the pendrive linux site also. | 04:18 |
cocolos | OK | 04:18 |
HoNgOuRu | maybe a bigger resolution? | 04:18 |
dr_willis | schultza: updates held packages, and so forth. its rarely needed. i only seem to need it during beta testing. | 04:19 |
rigel | bazhang: i'm not cursing and now noone is paying attention to me | 04:19 |
ismarc_netbook | Fyodorovna: Already checked, no additional drivers. My touchpad worked perfectly fine prior to my first login, as soon as I was logged in, touchpad no longer worked. I've done synclient TouchpadOff=0, I've turned off "disable touchpad when typing" | 04:19 |
ulkesh | HoNgOuRu, 1680x1050 you said? that seems plenty big to me...so if you're seeing large icons and fonts, it really does sound like dpi, but i'm at a loss as to where that would be changed for lightdm, never used that desktop environment | 04:19 |
ismarc_netbook | rebooted a few times just to make sure | 04:19 |
dougb_freebsd | rigel: that's probably because someone already gave you the right answer, and you rejected it (violently) | 04:20 |
ismarc_netbook | there's a fn+f9 combo that should enable/disable the touchpad, but it looks like it's not mapped to actually do that | 04:20 |
koffel | okay i setup a dhcp server but can't get outside internet connection | 04:20 |
HoNgOuRu | mmm.... | 04:20 |
rigel | dougb_freebsd: what answer was that? | 04:20 |
rigel | the one i've tried, that doesnt work? | 04:20 |
pepee | koffel, using the pc as a router? | 04:21 |
ismarc_netbook | I've checked the bios, no bios settings to let me turn it on, X sees the touchpad, initializes, etc...evtest doesn't show any events received at all from the input device | 04:21 |
dougb_freebsd | don't try going directly from an old version of 10 to the latest 12 | 04:21 |
koffel | yes | 04:21 |

varactor | just put on your cool face | 04:22 |
taxman | paste your hot face to my cold ass | 04:22 |
dr_willis | upgradeing directly from 10.04 to 12.04 is curently not supported iss it: thought we had to wait till 12.04.1 came out. | 04:23 |
koffel | pepee yes | 04:23 |
pepee | koffel, sudo echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward | 04:23 |
bazhang | taxman, thats enough | 04:23 |
wylde | dr_willis: it wil let you do it, but it's recommended to wait for the next point release. | 04:23 |
pepee | koffel, also, check /var/log/syslog | 04:23 |
koffel | no go pepee | 04:23 |
dr_willis | i dont think that sudo and echo works that way correctly pepee | 04:23 |
dr_willis | the redirection is getting used as a normal user. | 04:24 |
gaelfx | I can't seem to find any extra themes in software center, and ambiance and radiance aren't doing it for me, have I just missed extra themes or what? | 04:24 |
ulkesh | night all, good luck to those who need some help...and i'm amazed at how well 12.04 works! < 10 second boot time on SSD! :) | 04:24 |
dr_willis | gaelfx: webupd8 site has a lot of extra themes also | 04:24 |

gaelfx | joint: I doubt steam will let you play windows games, especially the newer ones, but you might get lucky with Wine or Cedega | 04:28 |
joint | so why is steam making a linux client then? | 04:29 |
dougb_freebsd | HoNgOuRu: that looks like it might just be a font issue ... have you tried setting the default fonts to a smaller number? | 04:29 |
varactor | HoNgOuRu, yeah that doesn't look right hmm | 04:29 |
HoNgOuRu | where exactly ? | 04:29 |
scotty | test | 04:29 |
gaelfx | dr_willis: but that's my point, it should be as simple as downloading a file to the right directory and it shows up in the appearance settings automagically, but instead you have to go through heck to get it working | 04:29 |

Batshua | er, not broken pancakes. packages. | 04:30 |
Batshua | yeah. | 04:30 |
dr_willis | gaelfx: themes in gnome have been more then just a 'file' for some time.. | 04:30 |
Batshua | Those things. | 04:30 |
dr_willis | gaelfx: webupd8 ppa's have some 'top theme' collections. | 04:30 |
pepee | Batshua, with dpkg and apt, from console | 04:30 |
joint | how come i was able to run an app in wine in ubuntu 11.10 - but it dont work in ubuntu 12.04? | 04:31 |
HoNgOuRu | where do I change the fonts dpi ? | 04:31 |
Batshua | Because the only stuff I could find online was how to fix it in synaptic, which isn't in my repos? | 04:31 |
Batshua | Although I'm told there is one for precise... | 04:31 |
dougb_freebsd | HoNgOuRu: it's not the dpi, it's the font size | 04:31 |
HoNgOuRu | ok where | 04:31 |
dr_willis | joint: different wine versions, differnt video drivrr veersions... depends on why its not working | 04:31 |
dougb_freebsd | in the settings menu | 04:31 |
dr_willis | Batshua: the synaptic package manager is in the repos | 04:32 |

Batshua | I knwo what I'm doing with them | 04:34 |
ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 04:34 |

dr_willis | !ext3 | 04:35 |
gaelfx | ztag100: MS doesn't like competing standards | 04:35 |
ubottu | ext3 is the default filesystem on older versions of Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 04:35 |
pepee | gaelfx, type the command without sudo, and then go to the start of the line and type "sudo " | 04:35 |
Fyodorovna | gaelfx, it does | 04:35 |
dr_willis | the fs-driver tool i think supports ext4 these days | 04:35 |
linuxuz3r | ubuntu upgrade is really slow | 04:35 |
ismarc_netbook | gaelfx: add complete -cf sudo | 04:35 |
ztag100 | I can use ext3 in windows? | 04:35 |
ismarc_netbook | to your ~/.bashrc | 04:35 |
Batshua | Synaptic has a single nice little menu command for fixing broken packages. | 04:35 |
Batshua | This comforts me. | 04:35 |
gaelfx | ismarc_netbook: thank you :D | 04:35 |
Lint | ztag100, because noone uses ext4 | 04:35 |

varactor | Batshua, maybe its a cron job joke ;) | 04:37 |
Batshua | varactor: That would be funny and understandable, if anyone else had admin access on this computer. | 04:37 |
ismarc_netbook | gaelfx: if you don't want to log out or start a new shell, you can just do . ~/.bashrc to reload it | 04:37 |

dougb_freebsd | ztag100: are you talking about syncing data from a phone? | 04:39 |
YaoPiesie | I went into terminal and first ran the sequence that pepee suggested. | 04:39 |
ztag100 | dougb_freebsd: No, I mean android source, to compile android | 04:39 |
YaoPiesie | Then I figured, hey, why don't I run it and tell it to install libtinfo5 instead of remove | 04:40 |
pepee | sithfm, man inittab | 04:40 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: that wasn't one of the use cases you mentioned when we talked about how to set up your system :) | 04:40 |
ismarc_netbook | ztag100: You have the android source on a fat filesystem? | 04:40 |
r4y | The Ubuntu Software Center is stuck with what I was installing. I am new to Unity and just installed Ubuntu 12.04 yesterday. Is there a force quit?, I liked Gnome because of the force quit applet. | 04:40 |
pepee | YaoPiesie, hehe well done :) | 04:40 |
ztag100 | ismarc_netbook: I want to, but it seems to be impossible | 04:40 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: is this something you do in windows, or is it something that you want to do in linux? | 04:41 |
r4y | I guess I could just try closing, never mind | 04:41 |
ztag100 | linux | 04:41 |
pepee | r4y, stuck downloading? | 04:41 |
ismarc_netbook | ztag100: You'll have some distinct issues with that because of case insensitivity | 04:41 |
ztag100 | you cant do it in windows | 04:41 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: ok, well, you probably should have mentioned that :) | 04:41 |
pepee | r4y, if only downloading, then yes, you can close it | 04:41 |
ztag100 | It didn't occour that it would be an issue | 04:41 |
dougb_freebsd | no, you can't sync source files on a fat partition, the file permissions won't be right | 04:41 |
sithfm | pepee: the file doesn't exist, tat was my question | 04:41 |
sithfm | 12.04 development branch | 04:41 |
koffel | pepee nothing seems to work | 04:42 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: that said, you shouldn't have any problems putting it in your /home directory, I doubt it's over 10G | 04:42 |
ztag100 | you sure? | 04:42 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: no, not at all | 04:42 |
pepee | sithfm, from the manpage: The /etc/inittab file was the configuration file used by the original System V init(8) daemon. The Upstart init(8) daemon does not use this file, and instead reads its configuration from files in /etc/init. See init(5) for more details. | 04:42 |
dr_willis | look and see for yourself? ;) | 04:42 |
YaoPiesie | I think this is going to be a real experience of accomplishing a lot on limited resources. | 04:42 |
pepee | koffel, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 04:42 |
dougb_freebsd | I have no idea what you're doing, but I develop for freebsd and several of our branches are less than 5G | 04:42 |
dougb_freebsd | I really doubt that android stuff will be larger than that | 04:43 |
ismarc_netbook | the android source is massive | 04:43 |
dougb_freebsd | so it's worth a try | 04:43 |
ismarc_netbook | and you need even more space for compiling | 04:43 |
ztag100 | I only have 12.7 GB left | 04:43 |
YaoPiesie | The hardware is a Sun Microsystems ultra 40. | 04:43 |
ismarc_netbook | I think 14Gb is suggested | 04:43 |
CellTech | What the deuce.. Rhythmbox on Ubuntu 11 syncs library with blackberry but it doesn't on Xubuntu? | 04:43 |
dougb_freebsd | you can access an ext2fs /home with one of the drivers that I and dr_willis posted | 04:43 |
ismarc_netbook | sorry, source is 6 GB and 25 GB needed for the full build | 04:43 |

sithfm | or vty definitions | 04:44 |
YaoPiesie | For which I have paid a total of $100, which includes the price of the HD. | 04:44 |
dougb_freebsd | ismarc_netbook: ah, thanks for filling in with real information :) | 04:44 |
pepee | sithfm, don't know about those :/ | 04:44 |
dr_willis | sithfm: look at /etc/init/ttyXXX.conf | 04:44 |
ztag100 | right now, I'm starting to think that I should just get rid of this stupid data partition I made, and just give ubuntu and windows partitions more space | 04:45 |
r4y | After closing Ubuntu Software Center which didn't shut it down and re-opening it from the launcher it is not stuck anymore. | 04:45 |
dr_willis | sithfm: i think thats close to the right name: one for each console i recall | 04:45 |
sithfm | dr_willis: ah great thanks | 04:45 |
sithfm | yea | 04:45 |
nthomas | scotty Has left | 04:45 |
scotty | test | 04:45 |
dr_willis | sithfm: i had one setup once as a emergancy root shell on F!2 ;) | 04:45 |
bazhang | !test | scotty | 04:45 |
ubottu | scotty: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) | 04:45 |
ztag100 | any linux filesystem that works in windows (natively) | 04:45 |
YaoPiesie | I got it from Unique Thrift Store. You gotta check them out! | 04:46 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: actually I was thinking that you should resize your /data to 20 G and your linux + swap at 40 G | 04:46 |
scotty | bazhang: yeah i need a channel that has alot of joins/leaves | 04:46 |
sithfm | dr_willis: i havent needed to change a getty since way before upstart | 04:46 |
sithfm | tis is crazy | 04:46 |
sithfm | *this | 04:46 |
sithfm | heh | 04:46 |
ztag100 | dougb_freebsd: by the way, I have 160 GB not 120 | 04:46 |
ztag100 | I messed up earlier | 04:46 |
dougb_freebsd | Ok | 04:46 |
Fyodorovna | ztag100, Generally a NTFS share for both OS is used. | 04:46 |
YaoPiesie | This machine runs on two opterons. These alone are worth as much as $500. | 04:46 |
nthomas | r4y Has left | 04:46 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: then maybe 10 G added to each | 04:47 |
cortexA9 | why i can't join in ubuntu+1 ? | 04:47 |
pepee | nthomas, a bot? | 04:47 |
ztag100 | I meant, I had more space than I thought before | 04:47 |
bazhang | cortexA9, its for 12.10 why would you need to | 04:47 |
ztag100 | data is like 70 | 04:47 |
dr_willis | cortexA9: its closed till 12.10 gets some work done. | 04:47 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: yes, I understand that 160 is more than 120 :) | 04:47 |
cortexA9 | ok thanks | 04:47 |
YaoPiesie | I paid $40 for a system that only needed a hard drive and peripherals which i already had. I plan to use it as my music recording studio. | 04:48 |
pepee | my ubuntu partition is using 20G | 04:48 |
YaoPiesie | Enough of that. | 04:48 |
ztag100 | I can shrink it to 50 and give the gained space to ubuntu | 04:48 |
pepee | that includes games :) | 04:48 |
YaoPiesie | Thanks, Pepee and Varactor for the help. | 04:48 |
dougb_freebsd | ztag100: the idea of a data partition for your music, pictures, and other data files is still a good one | 04:48 |
pepee | /home in a separate partition | 04:48 |
dougb_freebsd | but unix'y stuff needs to be on a unix partition, otherwise stuff breaks | 04:48 |
ztag100 | yah, 50G should be enough for that | 04:48 |
ztag100 | shrink to 50 then give 20 to ubuntu | 04:49 |
ztag100 | then, I'll have 25GB | 04:49 |
ztag100 | 35* | 04:49 |
sithfm | dr_willis: any idea where v definitions are? | 04:49 |
sithfm | err | 04:49 |
ztag100 | Er, I still have an external hd I can use | 04:49 |
sithfm | vty | 04:49 |
ztag100 | and, just use that for pictures and crap, since this is a laptop anyway | 04:49 |
bouma_ | hello someone has stolen my nick. this is a serious issue, ive had this nick for along time. which chan or admin can i talk to | 04:49 |

ra21vi | is there any option to enable trackpad options in Dell XPS 15z. I want to disable trackpad while I am typing , but in settings->mouse I am not given Trackpad Tab. Is it since its trackpad is not supported.. Though the trackpad works however. | 04:50 |
ra21vi | I am using 12.04 | 04:51 |
dr_willis | sithfm: i recall there being a console-vnc serveer. | 04:51 |
taxman | me too | 04:51 |
bazhang | taxman, ? | 04:51 |
Dr_Mike | How can I tell if my machine meets the minumum specs for Unity? | 04:51 |
ra21vi | taxman: did you find something :) | 04:51 |
taxman | no | 04:51 |
taxman | everything is fine | 04:51 |
bazhang | taxman, me too what | 04:51 |
taxman | ... | 04:52 |
dr_willis | sithfm: the use of getty - i think is defined in the /etc/inti/ttyxxx.conf file the users default shell is set somewhere in /etc/ but ivenever changd that | 04:52 |
Fyodorovna | ra21vi, some do some don't I have a acer that works with a fn and fkey, and a toshiba I can't disable. | 04:52 |
bazhang | taxman, this is ubuntu support only. | 04:52 |
sithfm | dr_willis: yeah | 04:52 |
sithfm | i'm wondering about virtual consoles | 04:52 |
CodeWar | 12.04, the side panel, how do I hide it!! | 04:52 |
bazhang | taxman, did you have a support issue? | 04:52 |
bouma_ | bazhang: i get unknown command: release | 04:52 |
sithfm | so if the person logs in via ssh it will work as well | 04:52 |
bazhang | bouma_, ask in #freenode , as I said | 04:52 |
dr_willis | CodeWar: you dont in unity. | 04:52 |
bsmith_ | ive tried to backup my gpg keys, i found the option in seahorse to do so, i now have a file that has the line begin gpg private key block, is that what i need to re import if i ever have to | 04:52 |
ra21vi | Fyodorovna: as I see on some docs online, there should be option tab in settings->mouse for trackpad. Am i right? | 04:52 |
cortexA9 | where is the daily build of 12.10 ? | 04:53 |
aazcod1999 | can anyone help me install minecraft and get it working on lubuntu? noone is helping in #lubuntu and i thought it would be the same ish | 04:53 |
dr_willis | !classic | CodeWar | 04:53 |
ubottu | CodeWar: 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 | 04:53 |
bazhang | cortexA9, there is none | 04:53 |
CodeWar | dr_willis, but in the previous version with a full screen app it would hide itself | 04:53 |
Fyodorovna | ra21vi, oh yes but never had it work on any of 4 laptops. | 04:53 |
cortexA9 | ok | 04:53 |
ismarc_netbook | ra21vi: if you don't see the touchpad tab in settings-> mouse and trackpad, then it's not recognizing you have a touchpad, probably detecting it as an optical mouse | 04:53 |
varactor | aazcod1999, let me find the guide I used | 04:53 |
uglyoldbob | what is the best way of burning all the .jpg, .JPG files in a folder to a dvd? | 04:53 |
CodeWar | furthermore, in twinview its showing up in both screens, hate it! | 04:53 |
dr_willis | CodeWar: thats a unity setting, setable in ccsm i think. it was decided to change the defult behaivor i recall | 04:53 |
aazcod1999 | @caractor ok :D i got it working but when i get to the multiplayer/singleplayer/options screen it freezes? | 04:54 |

dr_willis | albian: best to make backups.. and dont reformat your /home/ partition. | 05:28 |

Sixmsj | is there a way to change focus with window using the keyboard in unity? | 05:32 |
albian | Dr Willis - I stupidly "removed" Unity 2D and since can't use Ubuntu. I have managed to make a new install on a pendrive, and using that can see some of my old files on the hard drive | 05:32 |
countfuzzball | When I 'sudo cp -a' some files in /bin to a ramdisk, I notice that some of the data seems to be stripped: 'du -hac /bin/ps: 92k' and 'du -hac /mnt/ram/ps: 88k'. What data is being stripped and is it bad? | 05:33 |
albian | Dr Willis - when I tried to reinstall from the pendrive, I got confused at the partition point | 05:33 |

albian | Nup | 05:34 |
Saxonnum2 | Is there a keystroke to log out if CRTL-ALT-DEL does not offer an option for log out? | 05:34 |

Saxonnum2 | Anyone here know anything about MATE? | 05:35 |
dr_willis | Saxonnum2: i know its not supported here | 05:35 |
albian | Dr Willis - I may well have a nother partition but how to copy anything to it I don't know. | 05:35 |
qwebirc98793 | Saxonnum2: yes. What is the question? If you're primarily interested in the Panels, you can install them in Ubuntu: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/gnome-panel | 05:35 |
dr_willis | albian: you did make a specific /home/ partition when you first installed? | 05:35 |
albian | Dr Willis, the better solution in my mind would be to be able to put unity-2d back where it belongs | 05:36 |
albian | Unfortunately I do nt seem to have. I am pretty dumb and just followed the prompts' | 05:36 |
dr_willis | albian: im not clear on what you are trying to do. or the original problem then | 05:36 |
albian | Dr Willis - I hope maybe if it's not rude, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu question number 195046 I explained my situation more fully if that helps | 05:38 |
eco2geek | albian - if you can't boot the operating system, your best bet is to run ubuntu (or another distro) live and copy the files to another partition or external hdd or usb stick | 05:38 |
eco2geek | re mate: see http://www.webupd8.org/2012/04/mate-desktop-12-released-install-it-in.html | 05:38 |
Saxonnum2 | qweb98793 How do you turn the gnome-panel on when it's installed? | 05:38 |
albian | Dr Willis - OK if that is my only option. I am scared though that I will miss something | 05:39 |
dr_willis | albian: all your users files are in their home dir. thats all i ever backup. any custom configs i tend to archive to ubuntu-one accounts also | 05:40 |
dr_willis | albian: im still not clear on your 'unity 2d statement vs a reinstall' comments.. | 05:41 |
albian | Dr Willis Thanks. I'll try , not sure how I will get on tonight though as I only have the one pendrive | 05:41 |
dr_willis | i always make a seperate home partition. - makes life much eaasier | 05:42 |
albian | Dr Willis, I was geting annoyed with popups saying Unity-2D crashed and/or was having a problem so I "removed" it from the software centre. Next tiome I restarted, I couldn't | 05:42 |
dr_willis | albian: you can boot to the console and reinstall unity2d. or use some other desktop easially enough | 05:43 |
dr_willis | you shouldent need to reinstallto fix that. | 05:43 |
ztag100 | alright, I'm going to leave ubuntu to install | 05:44 |
eco2geek | albian - you don't have to delete the data on the "bad" partition any time soon; take your time. you can mount the windows partion from your live usb stick and copy your data to that | 05:44 |
albian | Dr willis: when running Ubuntu off the pendrive, I couldn't make it start a terminal | 05:44 |

wmorri | bluefrog: I forwarded 80 to 80 cause that is what i have done in the past. | 06:02 |
wmorri | crackerjackz: yes that is correct | 06:02 |
crackerjackz | bluefrog: he forwarded port 80 because that port needs to be open for people to view his web page | 06:02 |
crackerjackz | wmorri: okay, are you using ufw? | 06:02 |
wmorri | ufw? not sure I can check | 06:03 |
crackerjackz | ufw is uncomplicated firewall | 06:03 |

crackerjackz | wmorri: well http://127.0.0.1 will not work unless you try accessing it from the computer that apache is installed on | 06:08 |
wmorri | crackerjackz: that is what I thought | 06:09 |
pratz | xskydevilx: should i try and reboot again ?? | 06:09 |
crackerjackz | wmorri: install lynx on your server | 06:10 |
eco2geek | pratz - in my experience, reformatting the usb stick, making sure the boot flag is set to "on" when you reformat it, sometimes helps | 06:10 |
crackerjackz | then try accessing http://127.0.0.1 with lynx | 06:10 |
eco2geek | pratz - of course that'll destroy all data currently on the usb stick | 06:10 |
crackerjackz | if apache2 is working then you should get a page that says 'it works! this is the default page blah blah blah blah" | 06:10 |
wmorri | crackerjackz: okay doing that now | 06:10 |
pratz | eco2geek: where is the boot flag in usb , is it a file or ?? | 06:11 |

community_chat | password, ubuntu open source, will be easy to break, info spread. | 06:11 |
eco2geek | pratz - no, run gparted. this is the method i use (which again destroys all data on the usb stick so back it up if there's anything on there you want to keep) | 06:12 |
bazhang | community_chat, what? | 06:13 |
pratz | eco2geek: i just opened it with "Disk Utility" and it says partion flag is bootable | 06:13 |

pratz | eco2geek: file type should be FAT , correct ?? | 06:13 |
Fyodorovna | pratz, try another usb loader like unetbootin. | 06:13 |
eco2geek | pratz - ok good, yes fat16 | 06:13 |

crackerjackz | wmorri: okay give me a sec to look something up, in the mean time check your router to make sure you forwarded port 80 to the correct IP address | 06:14 |
eco2geek | pratz - like Fyodorovna said, or try running Ubuntu's usb creator again - some computers simply won't boot from usb | 06:15 |
rajmahendra | i have upgraded to Ubuntu 12.4 and when i logged to my account i see that the Unity is not displaying the Launcher , window and alt key also not working. Only thing i do is i changed to GNOME and its all working. it his a bug in Unity ? anyone help me ? | 06:15 |
wmorri | crackerjackz: when I go to restart apache2 I get this message http://paste.ubuntu.com/951676/ | 06:16 |
rajmahendra | is it any way i can restart Unity in my login ? | 06:16 |
airtonix | rajmahendra: not without being forced to log out | 06:16 |
airtonix | rajmahendra: sudo service lightdm restart | 06:16 |
wimpykidz | hi guys, am on linux, sister is on Win7, I need to see what she's viewing on her desktop. what programs do i and my sister need to installl? | 06:16 |
crackerjackz | wmorri: okay, send me a copy of your httpd.conf | 06:16 |
airtonix | wimpykidz: teamviewer or vnc to freenx | 06:16 |
airtonix | or* | 06:17 |
clakes | solved... gnome shell uses gsettings for key shortcuts, not gconf -> sys settings: ignored =\ | 06:17 |
wimpykidz | airtonix: that's for me on linux. what about my win7 sister? | 06:17 |
wmorri | crackerjackz: I opened it up with vim and there isn't anything there. I am confused a bit by this. | 06:17 |
airtonix | wimpykidz: that was my answer, i did actually see your whole question. | 06:17 |
rajmahendra | airtonix, stay in unity and open terminal and give sudo service lightdm restart ? | 06:17 |
crackerjackz | wmorri: cd / then find -name "*httpd*" | 06:18 |
airtonix | rajmahendra: yes but that will force you to log out (it kills your current X session and drops you back at a restarted login screen) | 06:18 |
wimpykidz | so what does she need? | 06:18 |
airtonix | wimpykidz: see my answer. | 06:18 |
airtonix | wimpykidz: those pieces of software work on all operating systems | 06:19 |
crackerjackz | wmorri: it's okay don't worry we will figure it out | 06:19 |
wmorri | crackerjackz: I am not worried I come from Fedora so I know how these things go. Thank for the vote of confidence | 06:19 |
wimpykidz | you said teamviewer or vnc to freenx. | 06:20 |
wimpykidz | what do i need? | 06:20 |
pratz | eco2geek: i am going to try again lets see this time | 06:20 |
wimpykidz | airtonix: you said teamviewer or vnc to freenx | 06:20 |
countfuzzball | When I 'sudo cp -a' some files in /bin to a ramdisk, I notice that some of the data seems to be stripped: 'du -hac /bin/ps: 92k' and 'du -hac /mnt/ram/ps: 88k'. What data is being stripped and is it bad? | 06:20 |
pratz | eco2geek: so first i need to exit from freenode | 06:20 |
crackerjackz | wmorri: the last command i gave you should show you which directory your httpd.conf is located | 06:20 |
wimpykidz | airtonix: what does she need? and which do i need? | 06:20 |
airtonix | wimpykidz: yes? teamviewer, freenx or vnc | 06:21 |
wimpykidz | airtonix: so both she and i use the same program? | 06:21 |
airtonix | wimpykidz: obviously | 06:21 |
crackerjackz | wmorri: also sudo apt-get install pastebin from the server | 06:21 |
wimpykidz | airtonix: thanks | 06:21 |
wmorri | okay | 06:21 |
bazhang | crackerjackz, pastebinit | 06:21 |
wimpykidz | airtonix: what is the most user frienddly? | 06:21 |
crackerjackz | oops | 06:21 |
airtonix | wimpykidz: they're all equally unfriendly | 06:22 |
Fyodorovna | rajmahendra, alt-f2 unity --replace will restart unity compiz --replace restarts compiz | 06:22 |
crackerjackz | wmorri: sudo apt-get install pastebinit then once you figure out where your httpd.conf is located run pastebinit /path/to/httpd.conf | 06:22 |
countfuzzball | Surely you can just 'kill -9' unity and restart unity? | 06:22 |
zouhair | Hi, is there a way to prioritize Wifi over Ethernet for the Internet connection, when I have both connected, Ubuntu uses the Ethernet instead of the Wifi to get Internet connection? | 06:22 |
wimpykidz | airtonix: really? oh, that's too bad. | 06:23 |
crackerjackz | countfuzzball: that might kill your x server | 06:23 |
crackerjackz | and i dont think itll restart unity | 06:23 |
airtonix | crackerjackz: it actually does | 06:23 |
wmorri | crackerjackz: when I try and run pastebinit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf | 06:23 |
wmorri | You are trying to send an empty document, exiting. | 06:23 |
crackerjackz | airtonix: i stand corrected then | 06:24 |
wylde | wmorri: cat /etc/apache2/http.conf | pastebinit | 06:24 |
zouhair | No one has any idea? | 06:24 |
airtonix | zouhair: NetworkManager isn't that flexible | 06:24 |
zouhair | :( | 06:24 |
bazhang | zouhair, you wish to use both a the same time? | 06:25 |
airtonix | zouhair: you have to manually disable it by left clicking in the dropdown menu | 06:25 |
wmorri | wylde: I am still getting the message that the file is empty. | 06:25 |
airtonix | bazhang: he wants automagic priority | 06:25 |
wmorri | I can try autoremoving apache2 and then installing it again if that would help. | 06:26 |
zouhair | bazhang: I have Internet over Wifi, not over Ethernet, I use ethernet to link three PCs I have in my room | 06:26 |
crackerjackz | wmorri: nah no need to do that | 06:26 |
zouhair | but Ubuntu keeps on trying to get internet from the ethernet which has none | 06:26 |
crackerjackz | wmorri: what was the output of find - name "*httpd*" ? | 06:26 |
zouhair | airtonix: I actually don';t want to disable it, I use wifi for the net and ethernet to link some local comps | 06:26 |
airtonix | zouhair: it's possible but it's also then permanent | 06:27 |
crackerjackz | wmorri: come with me to the irc channel #httpd | 06:27 |
zouhair | it's so easy to do on Mac and Win :( | 06:27 |
thrillERboy | Hi, I'm using Ubuntu under wine, shall I do dist-upgrade ? | 06:27 |
wylde | wmorri: alrighty then it's empty hehe, try /etc/apache2/apache2.conf | pastebinit <---- that is the where the default configurations is. http.conf is run as an include. | 06:27 |
airtonix | zouhair: actually in fact mac and windows can't do what you asked. | 06:27 |
airtonix | zouhair: NetworkManager does it the same way mac and windows do it. | 06:28 |
Mneumonic | Has anyone using Ubuntu 12.04 with the proprietary Nvidia drivers been having issues getting games to work in wine? | 06:28 |
monkeyphant | Is it wise to upgrade this short after the 12.04 release? or wait a few days to see if common problems arise? | 06:28 |
zouhair | airtonix: in fact they dop I'm doing it on a mac and win right now | 06:28 |
zouhair | s/dop/do | 06:28 |
Mneumonic | I can't seem to get anything requiring 3d to work after upgrading to 12.04 | 06:28 |
airtonix | zouhair: actually they don't. not how you originally described it. | 06:28 |
Killuacba | Hello... can some 1 helpme please? im trying to install ubuntu 8.10... ive installed bfore ubuntu 6.10 and now i cant install 8.10 or another SO... like xubuntu or lubuntu... | 06:28 |
bazhang | Killuacba, those are not supported versions | 06:28 |
airtonix | zouhair: it's actually in fact permanent settings... actually. | 06:28 |
dr_willis | !8.10 | 06:29 |
ubottu | Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30th, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 06:29 |
zouhair | airtonix: hmm, I want the network manager to look for Internet on the Wifi not on the Ethernet, it's quite easy to do on Mac and Win | 06:29 |
pratz | eco2geek: tried once again reformatting usb disk but it does not seems to be detected at the boot time | 06:29 |
airtonix | zouhair: but anyway you have to say this network connection is not a route to external networks | 06:29 |
zouhair | hmmm | 06:29 |
airtonix | zouhair: it's very easy to do on linux too | 06:29 |
pratz | eco2geek: any thing else you would like to suggest ??? | 06:29 |
Killuacba | i know that havent supported but, i ve an old laptop... and when i tryed ubuntu 12.04 i cant install to | 06:29 |
airtonix | zouhair: in fact it's even easier... but it's permanent and you have to toggle it for that particular profile. | 06:30 |
zouhair | uh? | 06:30 |
countfuzzball | Killuacba: tried either alternate install or server install isos? | 06:30 |
zouhair | can you show me how please | 06:30 |
Killuacba | both | 06:30 |
pratz | eco2geek: any other disk creator ?? | 06:30 |
dr_willis | Killuacba: any packages for it would be on the archive/eol servers. for a low end box, you may want to try Lubuntu | 06:30 |
=== sdx24 is now known as sdx23 | ||
Killuacba | i try to install lubuntu but... takes litteraly "ours" for start... and i cant install T_T i dunno why... | 06:31 |
albian | eco2geek: I had the same problem but by using the pendrivelinux.com programme I had success | 06:31 |
r4y | For me sometimes the search bar for the Ubuntu Software Center is there and sometimes it's not. | 06:32 |
pratz | eco2geek: dude any more suggestion ?? | 06:32 |
airtonix | zouhair: no because i'm not using gnome... edit the network profile and view the ipv4 page click routes, set 'this connection is not a gateway' or this is not a route to external networks etc etc | 06:32 |
dr_willis | Killuacba: if the hw is so low end lubuntu overloads it.. you may want to try tinycorelinux, or puppylinux or other legacy-hardware focused distros | 06:32 |
crackerjackz | i just installed ubuntu on this computer but the ethernet isn't working... lspci detects the ethernet, what do i do to make it work? | 06:33 |
Killuacba | okey, i will try these... but... i see the req min for lubuntu and ive minimun right... sempron 1.6 and 256 ddr ^^ | 06:33 |
unsuccessful | I have installed KDE,Gnome on Ubuntu. I want to boot and login it in text mode(startx). If i default login interface is lightdm then then text mode work but when it is KDM does not work. Any hint please? | 06:33 |
unsuccessful | I get it works somehow but when run "startx" command then it is error "Failed to load session "ubuntu" " | 06:33 |
dr_willis | Killuacba: i suggest finding moar ram somewhere... that will help greatly | 06:33 |
thrillERboy | Hi, I'm using Ubuntu with wubi, shall I upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04? does it work? Last time I tried to upgrade 11.04 to 11.10 did cause me problems, that is my I'm clarifying. Anybody tried it? | 06:34 |
dr_willis | thrillERboy: i dont think wubi upgrades well | 06:34 |
Killuacba | ive allready try it but... i cant find compatible sims xD | 06:34 |
thrillERboy | dr_willis: thanks, then I'd have to reinstall I guess | 06:34 |
_xan_ | thrillERboy: I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 | 06:35 |
dr_willis | thrillERboy: i suggest not using wubi... ever... ;) | 06:35 |
thrillERboy | _xan_: that is ubuntu used under wubi? | 06:35 |
_xan_ | thrillERboy: yes | 06:35 |
Killuacba | dimms* | 06:35 |
thrillERboy | dr_willis: I wish it was that easy, if I dual boot with windows, sometimes it breaks after windows update, and I'm always lost on the grub screen | 06:35 |
unsuccessful | dr_willis, Perhaps Someday you helped me with a problem(startx) ... | 06:35 |
Mneumonic | Are there known issues with Ubuntu 12.04 and the proprietary Nvidia driver? | 06:36 |
thrillERboy | thanks _xan_ then I'll try it first :) | 06:36 |
dr_willis | thrillERboy: learn grub.. or toy with linux in virtualbox.. safer then wubi | 06:36 |
thrillERboy | dr_willis: yes, going to try virtualbox as well, sometimes I had to boot into windows just for photoshop, so, I guess, windows with photoshop and Ubuntu in Vbox is gonna work fine, for my workflow | 06:37 |
shadykhan | any good ubuntu based blogs? | 06:37 |
bazhang | !ot | shadykhan | 06:38 |
ubottu | shadykhan: #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! | 06:38 |
_xan_ | thrillERboy: why not run photoshop in wine? | 06:38 |
unsuccessful | dr_willis, Perhaps Someday you helped me with a problem(startx) ... | 06:38 |
dr_willis | shadykhan: you mean ubuntu web sites? like omgubuntu! and webupd8? | 06:38 |
dr_willis | unsuccessful: huh? | 06:38 |
_xan_ | thrillERboy: or alternatively windows inside virtual box | 06:39 |
unsuccessful | dr_willis, For text mode login(startx) . I have installed KDE, Gnome-shell but now i want to login in text mode with default kde session | 06:40 |
thrillERboy | _xan_: Lasttime I installed photoshop just fine, But, switching to text tool causes problem and crashed PS | 06:40 |
dr_willis | unsuccessful: the .dmrc file defines what desktop startx starts. the login managers normally write what yoiiu last ran to this file. | 06:41 |
thrillERboy | _xan_: also, Windows+PS is a resource hog, Ubuntu being the good boy, It makes sense for me run ubuntu under Vbox with limited RAM, than running windows+Photoshop setup inside Vbox | 06:41 |
dr_willis | unsuccessful: or use the .xinitrc file ( i think) to make yiour own custome X session | 06:41 |
unsuccessful | dr_willis, thanks where i can find that file please? | 06:41 |
MACscr | is there a command to remove all the junk that comes with the desktop version? im actually running my system as a headless server now | 06:41 |
dr_willis | unsuccessful: in the users home dir | 06:42 |
LUEshi | this a support channel? | 06:42 |
MACscr | LUEshi: learn to read | 06:42 |
dr_willis | MACscr: not really a single command to do it.. just use the text mode. no need to start lightdm/X on a headless box | 06:42 |
MACscr | dr_willis: i more want to remove all the games, mozzilla, etc | 06:43 |
dr_willis | !text | 06:43 |
ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 06:43 |
dr_willis | MACscr: you will need to use the apt tools then to removce what you dont want | 06:43 |
MACscr | ok, np, i didnt know if there was a group i could remove | 06:43 |
unsuccessful | dr_willis, It works with lightdm but not in kdm,,,, let's try your advices first | 06:43 |
dr_willis | MACscr: theres meta-packages for installing stuff.. but not for removeing | 06:44 |
Mneumonic | Are there known issues with Ubuntu 12.04 and the proprietary Nvidia driver? | 06:44 |
aazcod1999 | hello,Can anyone help me with lubuntu because that channel is dead and noone is helping me. | 06:45 |

* thrillERboy gonna try upgrading to 12.04 from 11.10, which is installed under wubi, bye for now | 06:50 | |
dr_willis | unsuccessful: using lightdm? or just 'startx' ? theres various .desktop files like 'gnome.desktop' that can define differnt sessions | 06:51 |
eco2geek | Mneumonic - maybe this thread will help - <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1965967&highlight=nvidia> | 06:51 |
goro | I have ubuntu 10.04 lucid on a Dell XPS 15 L501x and it works well with bumblebee Optimus drivers. bumblebee-stable for precise os not put yet me thinks? Anyone else has a similar setup? does it work on 12.04? | 06:51 |
ra21vi | hi, I tried instructions on various docs, but still I am not able to get my touchpad recognized. Specs: Dell XPS 15z notebook with multi-touch touchpad. actually I need to get the touchpad option in settings->Mouse & Touchpad to disbale while typing. Its kind of bugging me a lot in coding. | 06:51 |
L3top | !nvidia-current | 06:51 |
unsuccessful | dr_willis, just 'startx' but i have installed Gnome, kde | 06:51 |
goro | ra21vi: hey :) does optimus drivers work for in 12.04? | 06:53 |
Mneumonic | eco2geek thanks for the link but that is having to do with bumblebee and dual cards, I only have 1 card | 06:53 |
L3top | Mneumonic did you install nvidia-current? | 06:53 |
dr_willis | unsuccessful: for a multi user system - id use lightdm to manage the sessiions | 06:53 |
Mneumonic | I think 12.04 nvidia is just really buggy | 06:53 |
Mneumonic | yep | 06:53 |
Mneumonic | L3top I installed the current one yes | 06:53 |
Mneumonic | through additional hardware | 06:53 |
mbroeker | does tvtime work with nouveau+gallium on 12.04? | 06:53 |
ra21vi | goro: I am not sure. Do you want me to check it? | 06:53 |
[deXter] | What's tvtime? | 06:53 |
L3top | Mneumonic: apt-cache policy nvidia-current | 06:53 |
Mneumonic | when i glxgears it works so I know it's installed and 3d works | 06:53 |
mbroeker | a tv application, [deXter] | 06:54 |
goro | Mneumonic: oh, tyvm, I think I'll hold off till stable bumblebee is out | 06:54 |
L3top | Mneumonic: apt-cache policy nvidia-current | grep Installed | 06:54 |
unsuccessful | dr_willis, Ah it seems good idea. OKay then a custom .xinitrc ? | 06:54 |
Mneumonic | Installed: 295.40-0ubuntu1 | 06:54 |
Mneumonic | says it is installed | 06:54 |
L3top | Mneumonic: I agree that nvidia/1204 appears buggy. | 06:54 |
Mneumonic | when I try to load a couple games that worked in Wine perfectly in 11.10 I get D3D errors | 06:54 |
dr_willis | unsuccessful: it may be .xsession these days | 06:55 |
L3top | That is the perfect driver for your card... | 06:55 |
ichilton | What's the difference between installing the gnome package and the gnome-shell package? | 06:55 |

ichilton | What do people typically use for keyboard shortcuts in terminal? - ctrl-shift-c, ctrl-shift-v, ctrl-shift-t etc is too slow, but ctrl-c obviously means something else. I tried to use the windows key (like you would do apple-c on a mac), but those are already assigned to system stuff as things happened - what do others do? | 06:58 |
ra21vi | goro: so are you saying since xinput api changed, so my synaptics are not being recognized? | 06:58 |

Mneumonic | L3top honestly no | 07:01 |
Mneumonic | I have spent the last 12ish hours messing around with stuff | 07:01 |
* L3top thought that might be the situation | 07:02 | |
Mneumonic | 12.04 seems like a bust on my setup | 07:02 |
L3top | Mneumonic: how was the nouveau driver? | 07:02 |
mrdeepuvc | macscr has ignored me hoooooo how frightning now time for milk mac | 07:02 |
ra21vi | goro: ok. I installed 11.10 on this XPS, and I am getting heating problem as well as battery drain. I though with upgrading to new version with new kernel will fix it. But still I can feel heating. Can you let me know where should I head for fixing it> | 07:02 |
Mneumonic | useless for me as I play games | 07:02 |
Mneumonic | nouveau is fine for what it is though | 07:02 |
eco2geek | pratz - as an obsessive type myself i would crank up gparted, create a new partition table, create a new partition, format with fat16, make sure the boot flag was set, and try again :-) | 07:02 |
jussi | mrdeepuvc: keep on topic and dial down the anger, or youll lose access to the channel | 07:02 |
mrdeepuvc | he is provokin | 07:03 |
ra21vi | goro: In prev release, I used Jupiter and some other tools, but they caused more problem. Heating never went down, and wifi went to very low speed. So now after upgrading to 12.04 I removed Jupiter. | 07:03 |
md_5 | How can I disable the executable bit check in Nautilus, because at the moment I can't run anything on my fat32 partition. | 07:03 |
goro | ra21vi: i had the same problem on 10.04 but those were fixed after installing bumble-stable https://launchpad.net/~bumblebee/+archive/stable, try those? | 07:03 |
eco2geek | pratz - but then that might not even work, no guarantees - it depends on how much time you want to spend dinking with it | 07:04 |
ra21vi | goro: I actually used once, but ddidnt work for me on 11.10. Let me check if it works on current . :) | 07:04 |
ichilton | What's the difference between installing the gnome package and the gnome-shell package? | 07:05 |
Zenger | Hi guys, I've tried to update to the latest ubuntu and my system crashed It didn't finish the install and now I can't install/update anythin and when doing apt-get install it gives me this error apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: libapt-pkg.so.4.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 07:05 |
L3top | Has anyone had success with 1204 on SSD? | 07:06 |
Zenger | What can I do to finish the update , or to downgrade, reinstall is not yet an option | 07:06 |
mrdeepuvc | he is provokin | 07:06 |
mrdeepuvc | my usb drive is not detecting i tryed to use it as ram for my computer now not working what to do how to fix it help me fix it pls help | 07:06 |
unsuccessful | dr_willis, custom .xinitrc worked . Where can i put this file so that all user can get same session? | 07:06 |
_xan_ | Zenger: why is reinstall not an option? | 07:06 |
roryy | ichilton: it's looks like gnome-shell is the bit of gnome that directly interacts with the user, while "gnome" is a package that will pull in a good chunk of gnome | 07:06 |
goro | ra21vi: have you seen this guide? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops/Dell/XPS/15z | 07:06 |
roryy | ichilton: why do you need to know? | 07:06 |
ra21vi | can someone please kick mrdeepuvc | 07:07 |
Zenger | Zenger: I have data in my root , reinstalling will delete it | 07:07 |
md_5 | I am using that laptop ra21vi and gord | 07:07 |

SunTsu | Precise's grub2 package does not seem to be able to deal with lvm partitions that are not mounted. It hung while upgrading from Oneiric | 07:08 |

Zenger | apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: libapt-pkg.so.4.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 07:08 |

md_5 | yes | 07:08 |
ichilton | i'd like to try out both.. | 07:08 |
jussi | ichilton: install kubuntu-desktop | 07:08 |
mrdeepuvc | kick ur moma in her pusyy u asshole | 07:08 |
md_5 | ra21vi please don't say you are booting with acpi=off | 07:08 |
ichilton | jussi: thanks - and that will run ok alongside unity and gnome so I can select at login? | 07:08 |
jussi | u | 07:08 |
SunTsu | I needed to kill all grub processes and mount all lvm partitions in order to complete the upgrade | 07:08 |
jussi | ichilton: you | 07:08 |
jussi | yup | 07:08 |
ichilton | jussi: thansk | 07:08 |

Zenger | L3top: apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: libapt-pkg.so.4.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 07:09 |
ra21vi | md_5: I remember I had to pass it when installing 11.10 and now I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 it should have been removed. | 07:09 |
ra21vi | md_5: let me check | 07:09 |
MACscr | jussi: thanks, he was PMing with vulgar language | 07:09 |
L3top | oh I see | 07:09 |
SunTsu | MACscr: a channel ban won't stop him from querying you | 07:09 |
md_5 | ra21vi There is no point even trying to run with acpi=off you get jet engine fans, no battery life and even worse no battery indicator | 07:09 |

thebigmemkernel | soembody using the new Ubuntu 12.04? | 07:10 |
md_5 | yes | 07:10 |
MACscr | SunTsu: oh i know, i already blocked him in the channel and server level as well. So i wasnt seeing anything after the first offense | 07:10 |

=== anonymous is now known as Guest17549 | ||
L3top | Zenger apt is broken... I didnt read the package fully sorry... can you see if wget is working? Perhaps we can wget the package, install it, and then fix things | 07:10 |
thebigmemkernel | Good | 07:10 |
md_5 | I think I am going to have to recompile nautilus unless someone can tell me a way to disable the +x check | 07:10 |
SunTsu | !ask | thebigmemkernel | 07:10 |
ubottu | thebigmemkernel: 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 | 07:10 |
dr_willis | md_5: what check | 07:10 |
Zenger | L3top: wget seems to work | 07:10 |
LarsTK | Sorry had to rename me from bigmemkernel to LarstTK | 07:11 |
md_5 | dr_willis You know the 'This file is not marked with the executable bit" | 07:11 |
md_5 | the issue is I can't set +x on a fat32 partition | 07:11 |
LarsTK | So are ppeople using ubutnu 12.04 here? ( i did not read it what you wrote beofre) | 07:11 |
L3top | Zenger: let me find the right package | 07:11 |
auronandace | !topic | LarsTK | 07:11 |
ubottu | LarsTK: Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic | 07:11 |
LarsTK | yes i know topic;D | 07:12 |
dr_willis | md_5: you CAN mount a vfat?fat32 where every file is executable.. and thats 'check' i think is due to the default file assoication for .exe files. Or you could just use the shell 'wine /path/to/whatever.exe' and it wont matter if its ececutable or not | 07:12 |
auronandace | LarsTK: then you know 12.04 is now supported here | 07:12 |
jussi | LarsTK: basically if you have an issue, ask here, if you just want to chat, join #ubuntu-offtopic ;) | 07:12 |
LarsTK | well i only wanted to say something aboutubuntu 12,04 | 07:12 |
md_5 | yeah dr_willis I dont feel like using the shell for running this program I think if I mount with the 'exec' flag | 07:12 |
md_5 | let me test | 07:13 |
dr_willis | md_5: i find it more annoying to havce every file 'executable' | 07:13 |
dr_willis | then to use the shell | 07:13 |
LarsTK | It is really!!! good improvement for ubuntu 11.10 and its a very nice themed operating system. unfortunately it uses Unity which is not as good as others but it really was improved in the 12.04 release...and for sure you can install others as gnome-shell and so on | 07:13 |
md_5 | udisks --mount /dev/sda5 --mount-options exec | 07:13 |
ktwo | has anyone running 12.04 on VMware? I get Black borders and black screens sometimes in 3D mode (but i would like to keep it like that, to have the effects). Any Idea? | 07:14 |
md_5 | that didn;t work | 07:14 |
jussi | LarsTK: thats more ontopic for #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:14 |
md_5 | dr_willis I only want it on this one partition | 07:14 |
mbroeker | md_5, copy /usr/bin/cautious-launcher to /usr/local/bin enter "which cautious-launcher" and if it points to the /usr/local/bin/ version, edit this launcher script | 07:14 |
LarsTK | jussi: ok | 07:14 |
Mystblade9 | I'm trying to install Ubuntu but the installer keeps crashing on me for some strange reason. It's already messed with my partitions once and then crashed, I don't want that to happen again. What do I do? | 07:14 |
MACscr | so my ubuntu server keeps using network (lan/wan) access every hour or so for 15 to 30 seconds. Any suggestions on where i should be looking? | 07:14 |
md_5 | mbroeker I was wondering whether it was using cautious | 07:14 |
dr_willis | md_5: if its not a removeable disk. make a fstab entry that sets the umask to make everything executable.. not sure how yoiu just tried it, | 07:14 |
md_5 | because normally you just change the file assoc | 07:15 |
MACscr | sry, losing | 07:15 |
mbroeker | md_5, grep cautious /usr/share/applications/* and see whether your mime types are cautious launched :) | 07:15 |
dr_willis | you could just make a nautilus menu item to 'launch with wine...' that bypasses the check also | 07:15 |
dr_willis | 'cautious-launcher' isent it? | 07:16 |
_xan_ | Zenger: package is libapt-pkg4.12 | 07:16 |
onats | hey guys | 07:16 |
samuraibsd | I'm having trouble getting Ubuntu 12.04 to run on my MacBook Pro 5,1. It seems the bootloader works, but the whole thing gets stuck after I choose what option I want from the Ubuntu splash. | 07:16 |
onats | is ubuntu cloud something like a mini cloud server? | 07:16 |
auronandace | !cloud | onats | 07:16 |
ubottu | onats: The Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC), powered by Eucalyptus, is highly configurable and customizable to a variety of environments. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC | 07:16 |
Mystblade9 | I'm trying to install Ubuntu but the installer keeps crashing on me for some strange reason. It's already messed with my partitions once and then crashed, I don't want that to happen again. What do I do? | 07:17 |
md_5 | mbroeker sadly thats not the message I am getting, Ill try it anyway though | 07:17 |
md_5 | let me just figure out where this sublime text option is | 07:17 |
onats | well worth a shot | 07:17 |
_xan_ | Mystblade9: You'll need to describe it a bit more... where is it crashing? are you seeing an error message? | 07:18 |
boobear | hello i run ubuntu 11.10 and i want to install widows dual boot please can anyone tell me how to do it | 07:18 |

HeliusCron | crap I have Win7 and Ubuntu install to one physical drive and I have a feeling if I use Truecrypt to do whole disk encrytion it will screw up grub | 07:19 |
HeliusCron | ?| | 07:19 |
Starminn | I've set a theme and it gave me white font on a white background (http://imagebin.org/210093), any tips? | 07:19 |
cocolos | vncserver is giving me problems…I logged in and all i see is a gray screen with an X as my mouse cursor | 07:20 |
md_5 | nautilus tries to use the text editor as it isn't +x let me just try mounting differently | 07:20 |
crackerjackz | what are the commands to update repos and system? | 07:20 |
samuraibsd | HeliusCron: Why are you using whole disk encryption? In my experience, it's more trouble than it's worth. Better to make encrypted containers and put the sensitive files in them, leaving everything else unencrypted. | 07:20 |
gry | crackerjackz: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 07:20 |
auronandace | crackerjackz: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 07:21 |
HeliusCron | iuse those too | 07:21 |
HeliusCron | but want to use for the OS too | 07:21 |
_xan_ | crackerjackz: for certain things you made need to run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 07:21 |
dr_willis | md_5: some info at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1441315&page=5 | 07:21 |
goro | ra21vi: yo, found this article http://hanynowsky.wordpress.com/2012/04/07/dell-xps-15-l502x-ubuntu-linux/, not exactly for for 15z but still good info | 07:22 |
_xan_ | crackerjackz: e.g. linux-headers, linux-kernel | 07:22 |
HeliusCron | the question is about dual booting and being able to do it | 07:22 |
ra21vi | md_5 and goro: can you see Touchpad tab in settings->Mouse & Touchpad | 07:22 |
md_5 | ra21vi no you need to reload the kernel driver | 07:22 |
md_5 | read how to do it on the wiki | 07:22 |
md_5 | sudo rmmod psmouse | 07:22 |
HeliusCron | since win7 has the tiny partition adn ubuntu mix | 07:22 |
SunTsu | samuraibsd: and what would be not sensitive files? Systembinaries that could be trojaned? | 07:22 |
crackerjackz | gry: _xan_ auronandace thank you very much | 07:23 |
md_5 | sudo insmod psmouse proto=imps | 07:23 |
goro | ra21vi: ye, but it dont work | 07:23 |
crackerjackz | _xan_: very informative thank you | 07:23 |
Mystblade9 | I'm trying to install Ubuntu, but the installer crashes after the "Do you want to install it side-by-side, replace, or custom?" screen. What do I do? | 07:23 |
md_5 | I am using my touchpad now | 07:23 |
_xan_ | crackerjackz: anytime | 07:23 |
goro | md_5: oh tyvm lol wow | 07:23 |
samuraibsd | SunTsu: Better to be realistic in my opinion. Client records, banking information and those types of things need to be encrypted. Your OS, generally, does not. | 07:23 |
SunTsu | samuraibsd: Using full disk encryption is the safest bet, I'm using it for years now, works like a charm | 07:23 |
md_5 | goro read the instructions on how to make it across reboots | 07:24 |
_xan_ | Mystblade09: do you see an error message when it crashes? or does it just reboot? or??? | 07:24 |
goro | md_5: <3 | 07:24 |
samuraibsd | SunTsu: I envy the fact that yours has worked for you. Every time I've tried it, it's just caused problems. | 07:24 |
SunTsu | samuraibsd: well, we live in times where stuff gets trojaned by governments at airports. | 07:25 |
Mystblade9 | _xan_: It launches the reporting tool, but doesn't display a useful error. It just says something along the likes of "An error has occured". But I don't want to risk my partitions again just to send a bug report. | 07:25 |
ra21vi | md_5: my touchpad too is working, but i am not getting those settings in Mouse & Touchpad. There is no settings for Touchpad tab. | 07:25 |
SunTsu | samuraibsd: What kind of problems? | 07:25 |
bigb | I have a Steam question for 12.04 | 07:25 |
md_5 | ra21vi because you cant configure it | 07:25 |
md_5 | there are on drivers | 07:25 |
Starminn | I've set a theme and it gave me white font on a white background (http://imagebin.org/210093), any tips? | 07:26 |
samuraibsd | SunTsu: Mostly my OS becoming unbootable for reasons I couldn't determine. I also had a strange issue where my HDD seemed to be filling up uncontrollably, even though I knew for a fact I didn't have that much data on it. | 07:26 |
samuraibsd | That only happened once, though. | 07:26 |
bigb | Steam installed via Wine, no issues. Steam client runs no issues. Game will show as launching, yet nothing happens. Any suggestions? | 07:27 |
bigb | Using 12.04 | 07:27 |
dr_willis | bigb: totally depens on the game. check the wine app database | 07:27 |
_xan_ | Mystblade9: I would would say back up data and then reinstall using new partitions | 07:27 |
dr_willis | !appdb | bigb | 07:27 |
ubottu | bigb: 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 | 07:27 |
_xan_ | Mystblade9: What is the partition setup you are looking to run with? | 07:27 |
Mystblade9 | _xan_: Just the standard one Ubuntu sets up when you use the 'Alongside' option. | 07:27 |
auronandace | bigb: just so you know: wine doesn't work well with compiz (for games that use the graphics at least) | 07:28 |
bigb | darn it I had a bad feeling it wouldnt | 07:28 |
bigb | it's D&D Daggerdale | 07:28 |
dr_willis | bigd check the app database. some tweaks may be needed | 07:28 |
bigb | will do. | 07:28 |
bigb | ty | 07:28 |
Mystblade9 | _xan_: I'll try again, I guess. And if it fails again, i'll send the report this time. | 07:28 |
RainbowDashh | Thanks Ubuntu. You just made me ditch my iPhone so badly that it broke for my Android phone..... | 07:28 |
Mystblade9 | If THAT fails, i'll just have to use the Alternate CD.. | 07:29 |
samuraibsd | So I guess nobody knows how Ubuntu on a Mac can work. Shame, I've been at this all night... | 07:29 |
_xan_ | Mystblade9: Might try Custom and then select the partition you want to install to? I assume you are looking to dualboot? | 07:29 |
Mystblade9 | samuraibsd: I ran Ubuntu on a Mac once. I wouldn't recommend it, but search for "Mac dual boot" on Google. You have to install a custom loader (called reFIT) and stuff like that. | 07:30 |
dr_willis | !mac | 07:30 |
ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 07:30 |
Mystblade9 | _xan_: Indeed. Okay, what partition/part of the HDD should I install the MBR to? | 07:30 |
samuraibsd | Mystblade9: This isn't my first rodeo with Ubuntu on a Mac. I've done it before, first back in the PPC days, and then with an Intel Mac. I just can't get this one to work, and I've found nobody having the same problem I have. It's all weird stuff that's almost the same but not quite. | 07:31 |
SunTsu | Mystblade9: that question makes no sense. There is only one MBR, on the start of the disk | 07:31 |
_xan_ | Mystblade9: technically there is only one MBR (Master Boot Record) for the drive. | 07:31 |
SunTsu | s/on/at | 07:31 |
_xan_ | MystBlade9: What does your setup look like right now... before you add ubuntu into the mix? | 07:31 |
Mystblade9 | _xan_: The Custom option gives me a choice as to what partition I would install the MBR to. I've heard that it isn't always the smartest thing to install it to /dev/sda, and that I should install it to the Linux partition itself, although that probably is only the case when there is a /boot partition. | 07:31 |
auronandace | Mystblade9: i think you mean bootloader, not mbr | 07:32 |
_xan_ | Mystblade9: Do you just have a single partition? | 07:32 |
Mystblade9 | oh, yeah, bootloader, sorry | 07:32 |
Mystblade9 | not MBR | 07:32 |
ra21vi | goro: that is a nice article. I will try Bumblebee to see if it rescue me :) | 07:32 |
Mystblade9 | _xan_: Two partitions, both for Windows. | 07:32 |
MACscr | lol, i just made my dumbass move of the day. was troubleshooting a network issue on my local server through ssh and i removed the network driver from the kernel so i could install the new one. Well obviously i lost the ssh connection to it. Doh =P | 07:32 |

Mystblade9 | _xan_: And it used to work perfectly in previous Ubuntu versions, but this installer crashes for some reason. | 07:36 |

CruX| | i have highly modified system | 07:36 |
mbroeker | CruX|, which version? 10.04 or 11.x? | 07:37 |
auronandace | CruX|: how highly modified? | 07:37 |
ra21vi | goro: no | 07:37 |
CruX| | zombifier: i would like to replace my sources.list with new one then run apt-get update and then apt-get distupgrade | 07:37 |
CruX| | mbroeker: vrom 10. | 07:37 |
CruX| | mbroeker: from 10.04 | 07:37 |
goro | ra21vi: oh well, it aint all that bad, most things work anyways :) | 07:37 |
CruX| | auronandace: all gui stuff is removed | 07:38 |
_xan_ | Mystblade9: I agree seems like a bug... You might try repartitioning the drive before installing ubuntu as a work around | 07:38 |
moah | I have found a bug with gnome-terminal that exists in 12.04 but not in 10.04, how (and where) can I submit this bug? | 07:38 |
SunTsu | CruX|: there still is do-release-upgrade | 07:38 |
Mystblade9 | _xan_: First I had a broken liveCD which I couldn't boot into, then I burnt a liveCD again and I could boot but now the installer is crashing.. this has gotten me a very bad impression of this LTS release, but i'm not gonna give up. I just wonder, am I one of the only ones here that has had so many instability issues for this LTS? | 07:38 |
zombifier | When update-manager performs an upgrade, it disables all PPA, changes the distro to a newer one and do a dist-upgrade | 07:38 |
mbroeker | CruX|, yesterday, i tried to upgrade a 10.04 lts server with do-release-upgrade -d and after an hour, the upgrade was broken... | 07:39 |
md_5 | in 12.04 why can't I find the nautilus option to open with a custom application? | 07:39 |
CruX| | SunTsu: that is not working | 07:39 |
Mystblade9 | _xan_: (Although, of course, the badly burnt LiveCD was my fault) | 07:39 |
SunTsu | CruX|: "not working" means what? | 07:39 |
SunTsu | !details > CruX| | 07:39 |
ra21vi | goro: yes. But I just need to sit in from of Air-Conditioner to have it cooled .. haha | 07:39 |
ubottu | CruX|, please see my private message | 07:39 |
auronandace | md_5: rightclick what you want to open | 07:39 |
_xan_ | Mystblade9: I installed 11.10 through Wubi and upgraded to 12.04 and no issues except for some minor compiz bugs | 07:39 |
zombifier | CruX|: Did you install do-release-upgrade? | 07:40 |
md_5 | auronandace I mean custom path, eg run with /usr/local/my-app/run.sh | 07:40 |
dr_willis | _xan_: im suprised that worked ;) | 07:40 |
mbroeker | CruX|, after an fresh install of 12.04, i restored the configs and data files from a backup and it is now up and running | 07:40 |
Mystblade9 | _xan_: Is your wubi install working fine? As well as a normal install of Ubuntu? Because then I might just switch to Wubi. | 07:40 |
goro | ra21vi: lmao, heat is not good for laptops | 07:40 |
_xan_ | Mystblade9: Yeah I haven't noticed any differences... seems to run smooth | 07:40 |
=== Guest51670 is now known as your_favorite_st | ||
Mystblade9 | _xan_: How long have you been running in Wubi? | 07:41 |
_xan_ | Mystblade9: I know you are limited to a certain partition size though when you go through Wubi | 07:41 |
_xan_ | Mystblade9: I think you can't exceed 30GB if I remember correctly | 07:41 |
mbroeker | CruX|, the only problem was dovecot: because the config scheme has changed | 07:41 |
_xan_ | Mystblade9: a few weeks now | 07:41 |
Mystblade9 | _xan_: Oh, I thought you were running it for a year (because you upgraded from 11.10 inside Wubi to 12.04 inside Wubi) | 07:42 |
auronandace | _xan_: the size should only be limited to what space you have left on the windows partition | 07:42 |
CruX| | zombifier: do-release-upgrade -d seems to be working | 07:43 |
auronandace | CruX|: -d implies development | 07:43 |
CruX| | but how can I know my new version will be 12.04 ? | 07:43 |
auronandace | CruX|: i think they officially support going from one lts to another after the 12.04.1 release | 07:44 |
_xan_ | auronandace: I'm fairly certain there was a drop down that limited the size of the partition I could setup | 07:44 |
mbroeker | CruX|, the -d means: it is not fully supported yet. just wait for the release upgrade with that tool | 07:44 |
_xan_ | auronandace: and I believe the highest option was 30GB | 07:44 |
auronandace | _xan_: oh, sorry | 07:44 |
md_5 | auronandace http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36903976/Shutter/Selection_002.png | 07:45 |
_xan_ | Mystblade9: Yeah I just setup recently on 11.10 and happened to notice 12.04 was coming out soon | 07:45 |
md_5 | I want to run it with a custom command | 07:45 |
md_5 | There used to be an option for that | 07:45 |
Mystblade9 | _xan_: ahh | 07:46 |
md_5 | I dont see one now | 07:46 |
unsuccessful | dr_willis, where can put the xnitrc ? suppose i have chrooted the ISO and will get kde whenever new users created please? | 07:46 |
john38 | Hi i just installed Precise how do i enable Unity | 07:46 |
mbroeker | CruX|, after one hour, apt stopped because it counted too many errors and was unable to find and configure packages. after reboot, it worked and i was on kernel 3.2 and ubuntu 12.04, but the system was in a totally broken state, unable to upgrade, install or purge without errors | 07:46 |

mbroeker | CruX|, just perform a fresh install :) it bet, that it will be faster than that | 07:47 |

auronandace | !root | mohit | 07:48 |
ubottu | mohit: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 07:48 |

atrius_ | moah: alright, i assume you have set your term_charset already? | 08:07 |
dr_willis | aazcod1999: the disk-creator tool or similer tools from pendrivelinux web site,or unetbootin, or you can dd 11.04+ images straight to flash | 08:07 |
dr_willis | i think cat can work also instead of dd | 08:07 |
aazcod1999 | Dr_willis i would just stay on lubuntu but noone from #lubuntu is helping me so im just gunna use ubuntu even tho ill lag BAD | 08:08 |
moah | atrius_: actually, i just installe 12.04, then installed epic, and this bug appears. i didnt set or change much from the default install. the problem doesnt exist with xterm, just with gnome-terminal on 12.04, it works fine under 10.04. | 08:08 |

CellTech | I used to use banshee but it rewrote my entire music folder and it took me a month to put it back titling every song 1 by 1 | 08:17 |
_xan_ | CellTech: maybe some gnome dependency in rhythmbox | 08:17 |
CellTech | Where can I download it? | 08:17 |
dr_willis | my guess | 08:17 |
dr_willis | check for rythmbox plugins in repos | 08:19 |
CellTech | I could just go back to ubuntu 11.04, and instal xfce then use the gnome for most things, then boot into xfce for lighter things :D | 08:19 |
CellTech | Would that work | 08:19 |
albian | Does Dr Willis ever tire or sleep? | 08:19 |
dr_willis | CellTech: you can install both desktops one install | 08:20 |

aazcod1999 | mr_willis sorry i missed what you said if you said anything | 08:41 |

ubottu | dubey: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:41 |
dr_willis | aazcod1999: you using the oracle java? or the icedtea gpl java? | 08:41 |
_xan_ | ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 08:41 |
dr_willis | !java | aazcod1999 | 08:41 |
ubottu | aazcod1999: 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. | 08:41 |
aazcod1999 | dr_willis both i ave the iced tea plugin and the real ones downloaded | 08:42 |

StarryNight | does anyone is running weather indicator under the new ubuntu 12.04 lts? | 08:42 |
dubey | anyone ? | 08:43 |
std0s | I tried using wubi - ended up with a broken screen then a frozen mouse | 08:43 |
StarryNight | i could say everyone :) | 08:44 |
StarryNight | but i dont thing everyone is using it | 08:44 |
StarryNight | think | 08:44 |
roryy | dubey: i think that remastering link ubottu sent was for you | 08:44 |
aazcod1999 | mr_willis nope didnt work | 08:46 |
hulaka | Maybe today someone will help me. I'm trying to install new Xubuntu. With USB. I've correctly used Unetbootin (works on other PC), but ... my PC doesn't see the USB. I tried every goddamn option in Bios and Boot Menu - it simply doesn't see the device. It's super strange cause previously I managed to install Ubuntu and Lubuntu the same way ... and now it doesn't work. Any ideas? | 08:46 |
_xan_ | hulaka: it's probably an issue with how the usb was setup | 08:47 |
hulaka | What do you mean? | 08:47 |
hulaka | I've tried 2 different pendrives - work perfect on other PC | 08:48 |
std0s | halaka - its not trivial to create a bootable usb stick | 08:48 |
hulaka | And like I said - on my PC it also worked previously | 08:48 |
_xan_ | hulaka: you've tried these same usb drives on another machine and it works? | 08:48 |
Hebram | hulaka: I sometimes have issues plugging USB 2.0 devices into the USB 3.0 port when attempting to boot from them. | 08:48 |
hulaka | no no, not the usb drives | 08:49 |
hulaka | I mean ... well, pendrives, whole installation is set good | 08:49 |
hulaka | And my usb drives - they basically work ok | 08:49 |
hulaka | I mean, when I put pendrive | 08:49 |
hulaka | It's ok | 08:49 |
hulaka | Though ... it just simply can't boot from it | 08:50 |
std0s | hulaka, - its not the same as dvd's - the usb stick is seen as a hard drive | 08:50 |
std0s | so its needs the bootable flag set on the partition to boot from | 08:50 |
_xan_ | hulaka: when I said usb drive i meant pendrive... have you tried to boot to these from another machine and you were able to? | 08:50 |
hulaka | Yes | 08:50 |
hulaka | Other PC boot from it | 08:51 |
Hebram | Hulaka: Yes. My issue has been that Ubuntu will not boot from a USB device plugged in to a USB 3.0 port. If it is plugged into a 3.0 port, you might try moving to one that is not 3.0. | 08:51 |
Maya | In Ubuntu 12.04, I uninstalled Gnome screensaver, then installed xscreensaver, and now I can nolonger use the lockscreen button. What command does the lockscree button initlize? | 08:51 |
std0s | ok - hulaka it must be in the bios - is there an option to get a boot menu in there? | 08:51 |
hulaka | Hebram - it's surely not about that | 08:51 |
hulaka | Yes, there is Boot Menu | 08:51 |
hulaka | I've played around with it | 08:51 |
hulaka | Nothing | 08:51 |
std0s | and it sees the pen drive? | 08:52 |
hulaka | Nope | 08:52 |
ravkel | Hi Guys | 08:52 |
hulaka | I mean, there are option to boot from "USB-HDD" or "USB-FDD" but they don't really work neither | 08:52 |
ravkel | I got a problem after Mobile Partner installing in ubuntu 12.04 | 08:53 |
hulaka | The problem is ... that my Bios simply doesn't see the pendrive | 08:53 |
_xan_ | hulaka: have you setup usb-hdd and then set that as the highest option in the boot order? | 08:53 |
hulaka | yes | 08:53 |
hulaka | Nothing | 08:53 |

D1RTYL0G1C | hi guys. i haven't used a desktop version of Linux in a few years ( mostly Debian ) and have mostly just worked with server administration lately. i was thinking of dual booting Ubuntu alongside my Windows 7, but am wondering if the install process is as painless as it should be or should I be prepared for the worst? | 08:53 |
_xan_ | hulaka: you have a desktop or laptop? | 08:54 |
ravkel | and software centre install buttons are disabled | 08:54 |
D1RTYL0G1C | and should i let the ubuntu setup resize my partition as well or should i just do so myself? | 08:54 |
adrian15 | I have a ubuntu live cd. I install chpasswd on it. Can I use that for changing passwords on a hard disk's partition Ubuntu system? And for other Gnu/Linux systems? Thank you. | 08:54 |
std0s | hulaka, the bios is screwing you | 08:54 |
hulaka | It's all really strange, because like I said - I previously installed Ubuntu and Lubuntu the same way and it was all easy | 08:54 |
hulaka | desktop | 08:54 |
MACscr | grr, this is so frustrating. Why in the world would i start losing network access on a lan connection every 30 to 45 minutes. It only lasts about 15 seconds at a time | 08:54 |
_xan_ | hulaka: and you are plugging into the exact same usb port on the desktop as you were previously when it used to work? | 08:54 |
MACscr | if their was somehow an ip conflict (which their shouldnt be), what log would that show up in? | 08:54 |
std0s | MACscr, ip conflict? | 08:55 |
IanWizard-Cloud | I feel like such a n00b.... How do I activate the hub? | 08:55 |

n1 | hi. anyone uses ubuntu in vmware_ | 08:55 |
ravkel | how to get network manger and software center work again pls? | 08:55 |
krababbel | ravkel: great | 08:55 |
D1RTYL0G1C | let me rephrase shorter. should i expect any problems by allowing ubuntu setup to resize my partition if i decide to install from my thumb drive along side windows 7? | 08:56 |
rookey | I am new to linux, can someone suggest how to install ubuntu along side windows | 08:56 |
_xan_ | rookey: try using wubi | 08:56 |
_xan_ | !wubi | 08:56 |
ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Oneiric/11.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/wubi.exe | 08:56 |
std0s | wubi was broken for me today :( | 08:56 |
ravkel | <krababbel>ANY HELP? | 08:57 |
StarryNight | y using windows? | 08:57 |
D1RTYL0G1C | that sounds terrible..... | 08:57 |
n1 | rookez> install virtual box or vmware first than virtualize ubnuntu | 08:57 |
StarryNight | windows sucks | 08:57 |
n1 | anyone uses ubuntu in vmware? | 08:57 |
D1RTYL0G1C | why do wubi or vm? why not just install on it's own partition? | 08:57 |
Hebram | DIRTYL0GIC: I would boot into windows and resize your partition or use gparted from the live CD/thumb drive. Once it is resized, just tell the Ubuntu installer to use all free space. | 08:57 |
robin0800 | StarryNight: xp pro aint too bad | 08:57 |
IanWizard-Cloud | Typo... How do I activate the HUD? | 08:57 |
krababbel | ravkel: I see your network manager ans software center are not working, correct? | 08:58 |
_xan_ | IanWizard-Cloud: hit the Alt key | 08:58 |
IanWizard-Cloud | I can't seem to find it anywhere. | 08:58 |
rookey | _xan_: how can I install vlc? can you suggest? | 08:58 |
ravkel | yes true | 08:58 |
ravkel | ican run mobile partner in sudo mode | 08:58 |
D1RTYL0G1C | k thanks Hebram. is there any real benefit to using ext3 or should i just go with 4? | 08:58 |
D1RTYL0G1C | i haven't used ext4 yet. | 08:58 |
IanWizard-Cloud | Hrmm :( /me hides in emberassment | 08:58 |
ravkel | but not always | 08:58 |
IanWizard-Cloud | thx _xan_ | 08:58 |
Hebram | Performance is improved in ext4. | 08:59 |
_xan_ | rookey: are you referring to this? http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ | 08:59 |
n1 | D1RTYL0G1C: he might like to try it first | 08:59 |
Maya | D1RTYL0G1C: Go with ext4. | 08:59 |
rookey | _xan_: yes | 08:59 |
D1RTYL0G1C | k | 08:59 |
krababbel | ravkel: sorry, never used mobile partner. | 08:59 |
ravkel | i want to get network manger work again its all conections shows disconnected | 08:59 |
ravkel | It uses NDIS | 08:59 |
StarryNight | i used to run xp and vista but i just got ticked off cause i tried to tweak windows and it crashed i needed something i can tweak without crash | 08:59 |
ravkel | I think it messed my nework manger | 08:59 |
Pitel | what is recommended player for dvb-t playback? | 08:59 |
D1RTYL0G1C | i really wish i had a solid state drive. i'm going to miss the thumb drive read speeds =( | 09:00 |
Hebram | D1RTYL0GiC: Since you are accustomed to system administration in Debian, you might just want to partition the free space in the ubuntu installer yourself. That would minimize the installer getting it wrong. | 09:00 |
Maya | StarryNight: Did you install Ubuntu? | 09:00 |
Hebram | SSD is the best thing since sliced bread. | 09:00 |
StarryNight | yes i am using 12.04 as we speak | 09:00 |
D1RTYL0G1C | yeah..... i figured as much | 09:00 |
_xan_ | rookey: probably -> sudo apt-get install vlc | 09:00 |
D1RTYL0G1C | i have yet to try it but i think i'm going to replace all of my drives with SSD | 09:00 |
std0s | ravkel, could be a wireless issue? | 09:00 |
n1 | anyone runs ubuntu through vmware? | 09:00 |

krababbel | n1: i do | 09:01 |
RyanB | Hey everyone. Does anybody have any experience with SSH? | 09:01 |
RyanB | I need help with that. | 09:01 |
D1RTYL0G1C | SSD + 50mpbs down = heaven =) | 09:01 |
soreau | ! ssh | RyanB | 09:01 |
ubottu | RyanB: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 09:01 |
Hebram | I wouldn't replace them all. Cheap spinning drives are still great for storing all of your large media and what not. Unless you are made of money. | 09:01 |

RyanB | soreau thanks but I want to download a file through a website which requires authorization | 09:02 |
rob | Does an ssd make games play better? | 09:02 |
RyanB | and I can't download it using wget | 09:02 |
ravkel | I think Mobile partner disabled all network connection in Network manager | 09:02 |
soreau | RyanB: What does that have to do with ssh? | 09:02 |
D1RTYL0G1C | SSD would make everything run better rob | 09:02 |
Maya | RyanB: Use filezilla, and download using SFTP. | 09:02 |
D1RTYL0G1C | i can say that for a fact and i haven't even used them yet. | 09:02 |
rob | im thinkinh of buyinh one later | 09:02 |
RyanB | Ok. Nothing actually but it needs a log on to a website. Each time you try to download the file, it gives a new ID number. I am connecting to another server using PuTTY. I don't have | 09:03 |
D1RTYL0G1C | i primarily want mine for gaming, cpu intensive apps, and writing music. | 09:03 |
RyanB | VNC access to otherwise access it. | 09:03 |
kanliot | buy a 120G ssd. i filled up 50G in about a week | 09:03 |
krababbel | ravkel: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613373 helps maybe? | 09:03 |
ravkel | I think I have to reinstall Ubuntu again and not to install Mobile Partner crap | 09:03 |
StarryNight | Maya i got into ubuntu by a fluke | 09:03 |
rob | Amazon are doing a sale on the cossair force 3 120 ssd for £96 | 09:03 |
RyanB | So, is it possible to download files with variable download IDs using putty when SSHing to another server without VNC access? | 09:04 |
RyanB | It's http, not ftp by the way. | 09:04 |
Maya | StarryNight: Lol, I got into Ubuntu because I was sick of viruses and I hated the command prompt tool. | 09:04 |
kanliot | yes | 09:04 |
ravkel | Sorry guys is nothing to do with device | 09:04 |
ravkel | it worked fine until i Install Mobile Prtner | 09:04 |
std0s | RyanB - what do you mean - http and ssh are completely separate | 09:05 |
RyanB | Ok in putty, you have a command called wget. I am trying to use that std0s | 09:05 |
RyanB | I am trying to use wget to download a file onto the server. | 09:05 |
krababbel | ravkel: the last post there mentiones mobile partner | 09:05 |
ravkel | Il be greate if someone say me how to reset all those networking setting by terminal or editing cfg | 09:05 |
n1 | krababbel: can ubuntu reckognize laptops built in wifi adapter so i can track wireless connections in range? | 09:05 |
_xan_ | RyanB: man wget | 09:05 |
std0s | putty is just a shell - the commands depend where you log into | 09:06 |
ravkel | Yes that softwre messed my network manager | 09:06 |
_xan_ | RyanB: you can read up on specifying username and password | 09:06 |
_xan_ | RyanB: as well as following redirects | 09:06 |
n1 | krababbel: ..when ran through vmware | 09:06 |
krababbel | ravkel: what does 'ip link' show you in ? | 09:06 |
StarryNight | yep i got those too but i got pissed off on microsoft when i bought a genuine license and after 2 re-installations they asked me to buy another code which would have cost me 300 dolllars | 09:06 |
StarryNight | dollars | 09:06 |
ravkel | ip link?? | 09:06 |
RyanB | Ok. Let me give you an example. Filename.avi?id=12456. That number changes each time I try to download via a regular browser _xan_ . | 09:06 |
krababbel | ravkel: in terminal | 09:07 |
StarryNight | 150 for the code plus 150 dollars for calling microsoft help line | 09:07 |
RyanB | So, it's possible in putty to specify login and then download the file? | 09:07 |
ravkel | oh I can connect to internet using Mobile Partner | 09:07 |
std0s | RyanB - can you get the file in a browser? | 09:07 |
kanliot | ryanb linux does everything period | 09:07 |
RyanB | std0s absolutely | 09:07 |
RyanB | but I don't want to get it through my browser | 09:07 |
std0s | ok - no password on it or anything | 09:07 |
RyanB | I want to download it on my server. | 09:07 |
ssta | RyanB: in general a scheme like that is because the website wants you to use a browser...and won't let you get it without one | 09:07 |
krababbel | n1: you mean if the vm can directly see wifi adapter? I doubt it. | 09:08 |
ravkel | by the way Any one know good software to send SMS using USB 3G dongle | 09:08 |
unsuccessful | I want to create a Global configuration file which will be for all users (like /root/.global.sh) whenever new user created. How can i do this or a dumb question please? | 09:08 |
Maya | kanliot: Can it run IIS http server? | 09:08 |
RyanB | so ssta it's not possible? | 09:08 |
ssta | RyanB: why not download the file on our own system and then copy it to the destination? | 09:08 |
ravkel | andd USSD messages | 09:08 |
RyanB | ssta my upload speed is really slow | 09:08 |
RyanB | hence why I want to direct download onto the server | 09:08 |
Lint | unsuccessful, probably /etc/skel | 09:08 |
ssta | RyanB: it's not trivial...(almost) everything is possible | 09:08 |
kanliot | maya why would i wanna know that? | 09:08 |
std0s | RyanB could it be write permission in the directory you're running wget in? | 09:09 |
ssta | RyanB: try it in links2 (a text based web browser) | 09:09 |
Maya | kanliot: You did said everything. | 09:09 |
Lint | maya with a little help of VM... | 09:09 |
RyanB | It could be possible. Basically, I bought a file, a direct video file. I have to log onto the website, access 'my downloads, and click on download, then each time it generates a new download id. | 09:09 |
ravkel | Bye guys back to reinstall UBUNTU | 09:09 |
RyanB | Does Links2 work through putty? I cannot install new apps on my server. | 09:10 |
kanliot | maya you have to recognize that there are some things i dont want to know like how far a railroad spike can go into my head | 09:10 |
_xan_ | RyanB: then that's probably a non-starter | 09:10 |
ssta | RyanB: if it's alerady installed, yes. Umm, if it's "your" server then why not? | 09:10 |
krababbel | ravkel: what's the problem, internet works you said? | 09:10 |
Lint | i have a feeling that it´s illegal | 09:10 |
RyanB | It's not my server. | 09:10 |
_xan_ | ssta: maybe shared host? | 09:10 |
Maya | Lint: What's illegal? | 09:10 |
krababbel | ravkel: just uninstall network manager, if it annoys you | 09:11 |
RyanB | Hang on, I'll give you the exact file name. | 09:11 |
Lint | maya, what ryan is up to | 09:11 |
unsuccessful | Lint, /etc/skel is empty file ... Not understanding how | 09:11 |
ravkel | Problem is network manger is not working and some forum said thats why Software Centre also disabled | 09:11 |
_xan_ | RyanB: is it linked on a preceding page that does not have a variable in the URL? | 09:11 |
RyanB | Correct _xan_ | 09:11 |
krababbel | ravkel: you can uninstall it. You said internet works normally? | 09:11 |
=== Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk | ||
Lint | unsuccessful, it should be a directory which contents is put into new home folders | 09:12 |
RyanB | And the link that I just generated is this: http://medias.answersingenesis.org/video/90-2-049_new-answers-dvd-1.mp4?e=1335607955&h=c536bc57eb942f3eee0b0f21864bc927 | 09:12 |
RyanB | That number at the end keeps changing. | 09:12 |
ravkel | Yes not Software centre | 09:12 |
Maya | RyanB: You can try using a text based webbrowser to download with. | 09:12 |

n1 | krababbel: but is there an option (to bridge or sthg) to track wireless connections in range if ran through vmware? if one can use backtrack in vmware to track wifi, it could also use ebuntu i guess | 09:12 |
krababbel | ravkel: without network manager, you need to configure ip address in /etc/interfaces | 09:12 |
RyanB | Ok then I hope links2 is installed. | 09:12 |
pixaal | anyone know why wmctrl doesnt work for some windows? (blender in particular) | 09:12 |
RyanB | Otherwise I'll have to ask the admin to install links2 | 09:12 |
ssta | RyanB: yeah, that's to make sure you only download it from a web broswer that you've signed in on. I doubt you'll be able to get the file with wget | 09:12 |
n1 | krababbel: ...in order to track connections... | 09:12 |
std0s | RyanB - can you put your wget command up somwhere | 09:12 |
ravkel | <krababbel> | 09:13 |
ravkel | THANKS FOR YOUR HELP | 09:13 |
krababbel | n1: never tracked connections, sorry | 09:13 |
RyanB | std0s what do you mean? | 09:13 |
ravkel | bye | 09:13 |
n1 | krababbel: ok, thx | 09:13 |
RyanB | I use wget before that command | 09:13 |
RyanB | and it simply downloads a .txt document | 09:13 |
RyanB | not the file which is over 500mb | 09:13 |
std0s | RyanB - I think ssta is correct - the last partof the url looks like a token of some kind | 09:13 |
unsuccessful | Lint, suppose i want place a .xinitrc with some custom X session. But most of time i need create new users. So It is not a bad idea creating the .xinitrc everytime whenever i create new users | 09:14 |
RyanB | So std0s I will need a text browser? | 09:14 |
std0s | no - its more complex - where is the file hosted? | 09:14 |
ssta | RyanB: put the url in "", it will give you the file (in this one particular case) | 09:14 |
Maya | RyanB: For your situation... Think of SSH like this: SSH is a tool that lets you use another computer remotely... When you're connected to that computer, you are now using ANOTHER conputer. (In this case, Linux), Now you can make Linux do a few things, like Reboot(DO NOT REBOOT IT), install a software, create a folder,browser around, activate scripts/etc. | 09:14 |
Lint | unsuccessful, put it into /etc/skel/.xinitrc | 09:15 |
Lint | *copy | 09:15 |
RyanB | Ok let me try that. | 09:15 |
D1RTYL0G1C | can anyone recommend a channel that might have DIY info on plasma tv repairs? | 09:15 |
RyanB | Oh my gosh!! ssta that's working | 09:15 |
RyanB | it's actually downloading | 09:16 |
unsuccessful | Lint, Huh ? So it is!!! | 09:16 |
Maya | D1RTYL0G1C: ##Hardware ? | 09:16 |
D1RTYL0G1C | i suspect the power supply. | 09:16 |
soreau | D1RTYL0G1C: This isn;t the channel for such a question. Try ##hardware or google.com | 09:16 |
RyanB | Yes Maya I understand. I'm still really new to SSH and tunneling and things like that :). | 09:16 |
D1RTYL0G1C | hardware would be great. that is why i asked for a channel. thanks | 09:16 |
RyanB | Since I don't have VNC access to my server I have get used to using commands. | 09:16 |
Lint | unsuccessful, and you add new users by useradd? | 09:17 |
Maya | RyanB: So me point is, you can do anything you want on taht computer, as long as it is possible to do that on that linux computer. (like installing/running software) | 09:17 |
Maya | Good luck. | 09:17 |
dr_willis | RyanB: with ssh yiou can do x forwarding and get gui apps running locally | 09:17 |
unsuccessful | Lint, yeah adduser or useradd | 09:18 |
RyanB | Thanks Maya. I see dr_willis | 09:18 |
_xan_ | dr_willis: that is typically terribly slow for any kind of major application | 09:18 |
ssta | assuming "his" server has a GUI browser installed... | 09:18 |
dr_willis | _xan_: run stuff that way all the time. rarely have an issue.. faster then vic in many cases | 09:19 |
dr_willis | vnc. ;) | 09:19 |
RyanB | Yes I used to have a desktop environment.. what's it called | 09:19 |
RyanB | XFCE | 09:19 |
StarryNight | Maya how long you have been using linux? | 09:19 |
RyanB | to use VNC | 09:19 |
RyanB | but it recently got removed | 09:19 |
dr_willis | for vnc - i tend to use lubuntu these days | 09:19 |
dr_willis | or just 'jwm' | 09:19 |
RyanB | By default, shouldn't any gui browsers be installed? | 09:20 |
RyanB | I am sharing the server with one other user | 09:20 |
RyanB | I think using Ubuntu. | 09:20 |
RyanB | Not sure which version. | 09:20 |
std0s | RyanB - bash is king - works everywhere | 09:21 |
dr_willis | !version | 09:21 |
ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 09:21 |
ssta | RyanB: not on a server install no...a GUI browser would be unusual | 09:21 |
RyanB | Oh ok. | 09:21 |
RyanB | So I would have to ask special permission for that. | 09:21 |
RyanB | I understand. | 09:21 |
_xan_ | dr_willis: I've tried to run a browser for instance over X forwarding and it would take upwards of 10-20 seconds to paint the window | 09:21 |
B|tchX | I see nobody is having any luck with kubuntu 12.04 - I myself reinstalled 3 times different medias and different iso files. Desktop never loads - cpu hog | 09:21 |
dr_willis | a user can instgall the .tar.gz binary of firefox in their home dir. ;) | 09:22 |
B|tchX | Doesn't load fully i should say | 09:22 |
B|tchX | smooches dr_willis!!! | 09:22 |
RyanB | Thanks std0s ssta _xan_ you guys have been very helpful | 09:22 |
RyanB | I need to get myself acquainted in SSH now. It's so confusing. Ha. | 09:23 |
dr_willis | ssh = a top 10 tool to learn how to use... | 09:23 |
dr_willis | so many neat uses | 09:23 |
bridean | If I reinstall the latest version of Ubuntu (I find that reinstalling is generally safer than upgrading) is there any way to specify that Ubuntu use gnome as my window interface instead of unity when installing? | 09:23 |
gcmx | hello there, I'm trying to install chatzilla in ubuntu 12.04's firefox 12 but my search yeilds only language packs for chatzilla. any help? thanks | 09:23 |
ssta | nah, ssh is just the transport...BASH is the tool at the other end | 09:23 |
RyanB | Bash huh? | 09:23 |
RyanB | What's bash? | 09:24 |
_xan_ | !bash | 09:24 |
ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 09:24 |
ssta | the shell that's at the other end of the ssh link | 09:24 |
dr_willis | bridean: lightdm rembers your last selection.. so its not that big a deal | 09:24 |
RyanB | I see. | 09:24 |
_xan_ | bash = Bourne Again Shell | 09:24 |
RyanB | Linux is so interesting to learn. | 09:24 |
_xan_ | RyanB: there are lots of other shells out there as well | 09:25 |
RyanB | Like what _xan_ ? | 09:25 |
RyanB | I'd love to research. | 09:25 |
dr_willis | !info fish | 09:25 |
ubottu | fish (source: fish): a friendly interactive shell. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.23.1-2 (precise), package size 786 kB, installed size 3840 kB | 09:25 |
B|tchX | Brian J. Fox created bash. He's black | 09:25 |
_xan_ | RyanB: tcsh, csh, zsh, ksh | 09:25 |
Jen | Hey, if I'm running a machine with an AMD C-60 APU (64-bit, it seems) - is it worth putting the AMD64 ISO on it, or stick with i386? Does is make any difference which I go for? | 09:25 |
bridean | dr_willis, If I upgrade, I find it's generally better to install a fresh version without reformatting the drive (so I can keep my files) rather than "upgrading" | 09:25 |
_xan_ | RyanB: bash is what you will find commonly setup on most linux distros nowadays | 09:26 |
dr_willis | jen i always go 64bit on hw tthat supports it | 09:26 |
RyanB | So, putty is not necessarily the best ssh client. | 09:26 |
dr_willis | ryanb its one of many. | 09:26 |
_xan_ | RyanB: it's pretty good as far as SSH clients for Windows go | 09:26 |
std0s | RyanB curl might do what you need... | 09:26 |
RyanB | Curl huh. Ok. | 09:26 |
dr_willis | winscp for windows is a must have also.. | 09:27 |
bridean | Does anyone else here prefer gnome over unity? To me, it just makes better sense to have your programs in categories (such as "office" "internet" and so forth). | 09:27 |
Jen | dr_willis: so, even though it's just a little netbook, grab the AMD64 ISO and go for that? | 09:27 |
std0s | curl is probably easier to work with in a script | 09:27 |
RyanB | I thought Filezilla is better than winscp | 09:27 |
Maya | StarryNight: For about 8 years. | 09:27 |
UrB | bridean: _o/ | 09:27 |
dr_willis | jen my netbook does 64bit. its hat i use on it.. saves me having extra cd's and my apt-cacher server dosent have to cache 32 and 64bit packages | 09:28 |
jahid | i have auto updated my ubunto to 12.04, but since then each time i start the computer get some error. either saying nautilas requies restart, or some other problem, or computer hangs | 09:28 |
UrB | I've repeatedly tried out unity, but it hasn't "clicked" for me | 09:28 |
std0s | does anyone here prefer kde over gnome? | 09:28 |
std0s | jahid, try as a different user | 09:29 |
dr_willis | i just usse unity. but i do install a gnome-classic-menu type indicator applet. ;) | 09:29 |
jahid | std0s, as a diff user means, i should create a new user? | 09:29 |
Jen | dr_willis: that's what I was thinking - thanks :) | 09:29 |
std0s | or root.. | 09:29 |
StarryNight | Maya i assume you like it then. I tried to go back to windows because of some software but i just tried i always went back | 09:29 |
std0s | just to try | 09:29 |
_xan_ | bridean: Unity has categories when you go through the dashboard | 09:30 |
std0s | see if its a borked config file in /home/youruser | 09:30 |
gcmx | anybody here running chatzilla in firefox 12 in ubuntu 12.04?? can't find it in my addons search | 09:30 |
dr_willis | overloaded applications menus.. :) gotta hate that | 09:30 |
bridean | I find it takes more time to find my programs using unity, than it does with gnome because I am thinking "What was that program I used to some desktop publishing? Forgot the name. Oh unity doesn't let me look at "graphic" or "office" program categories? Then how do I find it? Let's see..." | 09:30 |
jahid | std0s, how can i see broked config files? | 09:30 |
unsuccessful | Lint, PM please? | 09:31 |
dr_willis | wasent there some 'tag' featire in HUD/Unity in 12.04? or was that for 12.10? ive not messed with 12.04 in a few weeks | 09:31 |
Lint | ? | 09:31 |
lasher | i am finding 12.04 extremely slow and clunky compared to 10.04 | 09:31 |
_xan_ | bridean: there is a category view when you need it, but once you get used to it you will remember the name | 09:31 |
_xan_ | bridean: besides you can place whatever you want on the launcher | 09:31 |
Maya | StarryNight: Yea, I do love linux. The commandline tools are a lot better. Linux doesn't lag as often as windows. | 09:31 |
StarryNight | 1204 is ,uch fater to load | 09:31 |
Lint | lasher, it is natural development | 09:31 |
std0s | jahid, - the error should give you a clue - if its nautilus its probably in that .file | 09:32 |
dr_willis | lasher: find a few unity guides/shortcut cheatsheets/wallpapers - it helps to give it some time | 09:32 |
jahid | std0s, which file? what is the file name? | 09:32 |
std0s | lasher, slow and clunky means what exactly? | 09:32 |
ubuntu | <_xan_> looks like it doesn't work,even the boot-repair just can not updating completely | 09:33 |
std0s | jahid, - i dunno dont run gnome | 09:33 |
dr_willis | means hes uses to and trained himesf to use gnome. :) | 09:33 |
StarryNight | well Maya i like linux because of the terminal you can actually input the codes without crashing the os | 09:33 |
lasher | std0s: it boots up quite fast but firing up apps or actually doing anything seems to take longer | 09:33 |
_xan_ | ubuntu: if that's the case then I would remove all data from the drive, repartition, reformat, and reinstall | 09:33 |
_xan_ | ubuntu: probably the quickest solution | 09:34 |
ssta | boot time is (largely) irrelevant unless you're on a laptop | 09:34 |
jahid | this 12.04 is a crappy, cranky release. its slow, its breaking, what not? | 09:34 |
jahid | brb, need restart | 09:34 |
ubuntu | <_xan_>a................... | 09:34 |
dr_willis | had very few 12.04 issues here. | 09:34 |
Sixmsj | is there a new version of the youtubes lens somewhere? | 09:34 |
dr_willis | Sixmsj: may be a ppa for it somewhere | 09:34 |
StarryNight | one issue with 12.04 only weather indicator crash sometimes | 09:35 |
ssta | it's not so much 12.04 that's slow and clunky, it's the default install that is. | 09:35 |
Sixmsj | it says i have the latest version of scope-youtube but it's not showing up in my dash | 09:35 |
Sixmsj | is there something i need to do to put it there? | 09:35 |
dr_willis | Sixmsj: you loged out/back in since you installed it? | 09:35 |
Sixmsj | yep, and a reboot | 09:35 |
_xan_ | everyone should just install 11.10 and upgrade :-) | 09:36 |
Sixmsj | http://iloveubuntu.net/play-flash-free-youtube-clips-vlc-unity-video-lens-ubuntu-1110 | 09:36 |
Sixmsj | using these instructions | 09:36 |
dr_willis | i rareely upgrade | 09:36 |
dr_willis | Sixmsj: the url implies that guide is for 11.10 - so may not work in 12.04 | 09:36 |
Sixmsj | yeah, i've been searching for a 12.04 version but i cant find it | 09:37 |
Sixmsj | was wondering if anyone in here has 12.04 and youtube lens | 09:37 |

Starminn | Would a removal/reinstallation of Compiz && CCSM be detrimental to my system, or would it revert back to "stock"? | 09:45 |
Starminn | (via command-line, that is) | 09:45 |
Jen | I've got a machine here that's still taking a while to respond with update manager.. is it worth just putting the ISO on a USB disk and upgrading that way? | 09:46 |
std0s | Starminn, it wouldnt go back to stock - unless thats the only change you made | 09:46 |
winball | Does psubuntu has an irc-channel ? | 09:46 |

lotuspsychje | i have problem with nntpgrab: Failed to SetCandidateRelease for oneiric | 09:47 |
opti | is there a known issue with 12.04 and geforce 7025 using the 'current' driver? | 09:47 |
lotuspsychje | can i bypass release candidate package? | 09:47 |
Starminn | std0s: I just mean as far as Compiz settings goes. If I "sudo apt-get purge compiz && ccsm", then "sudo apt-get install compiz" would all compiz settings go back to 'stock' settings? (I *may* have borked something in CCSM to where windows and pop-up menus refuse to reveal themselves to me) | 09:48 |
gcmx | std0s, still no luck. I even changed the "Download from" server to main server | 09:48 |
sacarlson | lotuspsychje: you can pin apps to a version but that sounds like more of a driver thing, not sure there is pin for that | 09:49 |
robin0800 | Starminn: have you tried to rest compiz? | 09:49 |
dr_willis | Starminn:. user settings are not touched by the apt system | 09:49 |
Starminn | dr_willis: A purge, even? I was under the impression that a purge removed user settings as well? | 09:50 |
dr_willis | Starminn:. make new user see if they thee ussue | 09:50 |
robin0800 | Starminn: have you tried to reset compiz using ccsm? | 09:50 |
roryy | Starminn: I don't think apt will change stuff under /home. purge will remove config in /etc (and presumably other "system" places) | 09:51 |
dr_willis | Starminn:. user settings are NOT touched by the apt SYSTEM AT ALL | 09:51 |
dr_willis | ;) | 09:51 |

Lorra | Hi everyone! It's been a while since when I try to watch some videos on youtube using the flash plugin I see them with reversed colors, is there a way to fix this without turning off useful gstreamer optimizations? | 10:08 |
saju | I would like to learn about Visualization/Cloud (KVM and Xen). Could you please suggest a tutorial. Have any Video tutorial available ??? | 10:08 |
acalbaza_ | anyone else getting a huge login screen with 12.04? any ideas on how to change the resolution on this? | 10:08 |
krababbel | Lorra: nvidia? | 10:09 |

Lorra | krababbel, yes I have an nvidia graphic card and I use the binary driver from nvidia, do you have an idea on how I can fix this? | 10:10 |
Mayazcherquoi | Is there anything special I have to do to get Ubuntu to read my SD card? :S | 10:11 |
Lorra | acalbaza_, this guy http://askubuntu.com/questions/125443/how-can-i-get-my-intel-82945g-gz-video-card-to-support-more-resolutions fixed it by doing an update | 10:12 |
dadanopan | is there a way to change the icons in the unity launcher? | 10:13 |
Lorra | Mayazcherquoi, usually not, you just stick it in your card reader and that's it | 10:13 |
Mayazcherquoi | Lorra: Hmm, it isn't detecting it. | 10:13 |
Lasher | It seams I have pae kernal but it's a netbook with 2 gig of ram is that unecisary | 10:13 |
Lorra | Mayazcherquoi, then take it out | 10:13 |
krababbel | Lorra: it's a bug, which will probably never be fixed, since adobe dropped linux support. You can do: remove libvdpau1, or force hardware acceleration and accept a little instability of flash. To enable hw add a file /etc/adobe/mms.cfg and put EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 in it | 10:13 |
std0s | Mayazcherquoi, - put dmesg | tail up somewhere | 10:14 |

CellTech | Ubuntu 11.04 Synaptic Package mgr bug. Can not "apply" after residual config.. How to fix? | 10:18 |
krababbel | hydrox24: hue is reversed, a regression | 10:19 |
hydrox24 | Lorra: yeah, just go into nvidia settings program and go to the hue slider bar, reset it. | 10:19 |
krababbel | libvdpau can use a hack to work around it too | 10:19 |
hydrox24 | Lorra: I think, haven't had the issue in a while | 10:19 |

jalcine | What forum software is Ubuntu Forums running on? | 10:19 |

Lorra | Mayazcherquoi, have you tried? What does it say? When you put the card in it should tell you something nice and also the device (like /dev/sdSOMETHING) your card is under | 10:20 |
Mayazcherquoi | Yes, I said it's workin! | 10:20 |
Mayazcherquoi | working* lol | 10:20 |
std0s | JohnEl, look at failtoban - might do what you need | 10:21 |
Lorra | hydrox24, you mean put it to the minimum value? | 10:21 |
krababbel | Lorra: I guess that would reverse hues in everything but flash videos? | 10:22 |
Lorra | Mayazcherquoi, good then ( : | 10:22 |
Lorra | krababbel, I think so, unless hydrox24 says something different | 10:23 |
JohnEl | std0s. nope. thats for statics. | 10:23 |
std0s | could you script the change somehow? | 10:23 |
=== jalcine is now known as jacky | ||

Lorra | karthick87, check with your /etc/sudoers file, but if you have a line like `%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL' and `%sudoALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL' then you should remove the user from the sudo and admin groups, but I think the graphical utility to handle users allows you to specifiy whether they're gonna be administrators or not | 10:29 |
Lorra | karthick87, you can remove a user from a group with gpasswd -d USERNAME GROUP | 10:30 |
std0s | karthick87, only effects after reboot | 10:31 |

bbbbbbbb | I don't get the Amnesia demo running, does anyone know how to fix this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/952195/ | 11:35 |
wylde | squigle: it is recommended to wait for the next point release to do LTS to LTS upgrade. 12.04.1 | 11:36 |
BluesKaj | squigle, open a terminal , sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade , that should upgrade the updater, then you should be able to upgrade to 12.04 | 11:36 |
moz_ | hi, I just upgraded to 11.4 and wireless doesn't work anymore | 11:36 |
ganeshran | how to manually add an entry into the fstab? I want to do it for my NTFS drive | 11:36 |
squigle | wylde, yeah, but this isnt really any thing but my test system, I want to see whats new | 11:36 |
aritemit | have u a link for downloading a java class editor (*.class) program for PC ? | 11:37 |
squigle | BluesKaj, thats what I suspected I needed to do but I dont get the update | 11:37 |
wylde | squigle: alrighty, just thought I'd mention it :) | 11:37 |
aritemit | have u a link for downloading a java class editor (*.class) program for PC ? | 11:37 |
a_b0y | okay i found it, on wireshark it is protocol TLSv1 | 11:38 |
moz_ | hi, I just upgraded to 11.4 and wireless doesn't work anymore. Any help? | 11:38 |
BluesKaj | squigle, make sure you updater is set to LTS in your case | 11:38 |
StevenR | a_b0y: huh? (can you post a screenshot? | 11:38 |
md_5 | aritemit use JBE if you --have-- to edit bytecode | 11:38 |

bbbbbbbb | I don't get the Amnesia demo running, does anyone know how to fix this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/952195/ | 11:39 |

B|tchX | ok treffnixAT | 11:39 |
B|tchX | moz | 11:40 |
B|tchX | sudo ifconfig eth0 up | 11:40 |
aritemit | have u a link for downloading a java class editor (*.class) program for PC ? | 11:40 |
BluesKaj | squigle, you ran the update/upgrade , if so run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade , as well | 11:40 |
moz_ | B|tchX, i think my wireless is eth1 | 11:41 |
squigle | BluesKaj, tried that too, I suspected that whats I needted to do but no dice :( | 11:41 |
B|tchX | do that then moz_ | 11:41 |
BluesKaj | squigle, then try sudo do-release-upgrade | 11:41 |
B|tchX | if that doesn't work moz_ then install wick-gtk somewhere and port it over to your nix and install | 11:41 |
kayaman | hi | 11:42 |
detrix | Hello, I just installed Kubuntu, 12.04. Problem: hard drive was partitioned, to have root, and home directories separate. I wanted to just use the home directory that was there. my accont user name is detrix, but for some reason kde main menu, under computer shows my home directory as /home/adam I do not know where that came from, and I can't seem to change it. I checked passwd, and it is set correctly there. I do not know what e | 11:42 |
detrix | lse to do | 11:42 |
squigle | No new release found | 11:42 |
moz_ | B|tchX, done | 11:42 |
moz_ | B|tchX, I don't understand. What is nix? | 11:43 |
B|tchX | linux moz_ | 11:43 |
a_b0y | StevenR should i wait until the page times out? it seems to just be retransmitting the same thing | 11:43 |
aritemit | have u a link for downloading a java class editor (*.class) program for PC ? :( | 11:43 |
BluesKaj | squigle, odd , usually just updating/upgrading the update manager works | 11:43 |
squigle | i might look on the forums, I cant be the only one | 11:44 |
moz_ | B|tchX, but why do I need additional software? | 11:44 |
B|tchX | squidy, look in your package manager and see if canonical is checked so that you can upgrade | 11:44 |
pozzz | Hi! Does anyone know how to export midi from lmms in LINUX??? I have found some suggestions about using Anvil Studio or Reaper (copy and paste the piano roll content) but those apps are for Win. Asked at lmms but got no reply. | 11:44 |
StevenR | a_b0y: yes | 11:44 |
squigle | B|tchX, yeah it is, the only think i missing is soruce code | 11:45 |
StevenR | a_b0y: yes, wait until it times out | 11:45 |
B|tchX | well moz_ most of the time when folks upgrade they totally lose their wifi and switch to wicd and it is guaranteed to work 90% (my guess) of the time. | 11:45 |
csharp | moz_: can you try creating a new user and see if wifi works? | 11:46 |
B|tchX | wicd is another network manager. I think it's better and has more features than the network manager that comes shipped. I don't know why canonical doesn't just use that | 11:46 |
ganeshran | anyone facing issues in using fstab download pysdm. - a GUI based easy to use utility to mount drives which were not automatically mounted | 11:47 |
moz_ | csharp, ok, I try. Btw, I have to un unplug the ethernet cable in order to test the wireless, haven't I? | 11:47 |
squigle | update-manager -d does it! | 11:47 |
a_b0y | StevenR when i type the ip address in the filter it doesn't filter, how do i filter the ip? | 11:48 |
StevenR | a_b0y: ip.addr == IPGOESHERE | 11:48 |
B|tchX | I usually get all of my help from dmesg, .xsession-errors or or /var/log/kern.log | 11:48 |
StevenR | use that entire thing as your filter a_b0y | 11:48 |
B|tchX | those files give you a clue | 11:48 |
mbrochh | When I suspend my thinkpad it cannot be woken up again. I just see a black sceen with a white line at the bottom (some garphics bug). Does anyone have a clue how to work around this? | 11:48 |
squigle | oh well 12.04 here we go! | 11:48 |
BluesKaj | squigle, strange since -d is meant for alpha and beta development releases | 11:48 |
a_b0y | ok | 11:49 |
squigle | BluesKaj, i suspect its to ensure that less bugs occur for the lots of people who are about to switch over | 11:49 |
B|tchX | I'm back on 11.10 squigle b/c 12.04 wouldn't completely load the desktop on three installs. cpu hog | 11:49 |
BluesKaj | squigle, it's good that fewer bugs are involved but it's still odd to me | 11:50 |
squigle | B|tchX, i plan on using xfce I suspect but I havnt really ever tried unity of an decent system, only spares and its not really going away | 11:50 |
B|tchX | I'm on kubuntu | 11:51 |
B|tchX | I keep forgetting this isn't kubuntu lol | 11:51 |
squigle | kde never worked for me | 11:51 |
squigle | (me in my brain me, felt like windows) | 11:52 |
BluesKaj | B|tchX, I was about to suggest kde/kubuntu | 11:52 |
B|tchX | This is the first time ive seen kubuntu crash and burn since it's inception 7 years ago | 11:52 |
B|tchX | its great BluesKaj but not 12.04 | 11:52 |

BluesKaj | bbbbbbbb, ok that's cool , I only use pulse because without it flash etc won't play any audio on websites | 11:59 |
squigle | im only updating to get a newer release of qt | 11:59 |
squigle | the main repository is going slow | 11:59 |
bbbbbbbb | BluesKaj: because of your sound card? will flash etc still play audio when I uninstalled pulseaudio? | 12:00 |
BluesKaj | bbbbbbbb, yes I have a pci soundcard . | 12:00 |
aritemit | have u a link for downloading a java class editor (*.class) program for PC ? | 12:01 |
bbbbbbbb | BluesKaj: would that affect my flash audio or anything if I remove pulse on my laptop? | 12:01 |
B|tchX | no bbbbbbbb | 12:02 |
B|tchX | if it does just reinstall pulseaudio again | 12:02 |
BluesKaj | bbbbbbbb, well you can try and if audio stops working you can always reinstall pulseaudio | 12:02 |

HP_Administrator | The system clock in this Compaq (aka HP) "nettop" that came with Windows XP Home preinstalled with an Atom processor, running Ubuntu 11.10 Windows install, jumps forward 45 minutes when I quit Windows and start Ubuntu. Shutting down Ubuntu (and/or powering down the computer) doesn't fix it, so it's attacking the hardware/CMOS clock. Any clues would be appreciated. | 12:18 |
HP_Administrator | 12:19 | |
squigle | HP_Administrator, exactly 45 minutes or is it one hour? | 12:19 |
Sidewinder | HP_Administrator, Are you sure it's not a battery issue? Lame, I know but worth a shot. :-) | 12:20 |
squigle | HP_Administrator, you can configure ntp to set the time at boot | 12:20 |
HP_Administrator | Well, this last time it was exactly 45 minutes. I didn't look too closely at the earlier 3 or 4 invocations, just noticed the jump - Ubuntu installed here only a few days ago. | 12:20 |
taxman | that's a good thing to confuse attackers | 12:21 |
compdoc | HP_Administrator, ubuntu tends to set the clock to UTM time, or whatever thats called | 12:21 |
HP_Administrator | squigle: yes, but it's not always connected to the net, so I'd like to find a way to fix it. | 12:21 |
Sidewinder | HP_Administrator, Usually, battery issues take one back to 1980, or so, so I doubt it.. | 12:21 |
jcase | 1970 | 12:22 |
squigle | if it was 1 hour exactly and you live near GMT then it can be the hardware clock is set to localtime not utc | 12:22 |
Sidewinder | Or that.. | 12:22 |

HP_Administrator | compoc: UTC time is what it's called, and no that's not it - I'm several hours off UTC time, this just nudges it 45 minutes (and away from UTC time, at that)> | 12:23 |

oldsk00l | squigle: you can switch to a better window manager easily: apt-get install xfce4 | 12:57 |
Roasted | squigle, do you have sticky edges enabled? | 12:57 |
Roasted | oldsk00l, quiet, unity is actually very nice in 12.04. | 12:57 |
oldsk00l | I disagree | 12:58 |
gry | oldsk00l: That would go to xubuntu. This is ubuntu support (Gnome/Unity are what is supported here.) | 12:58 |
Roasted | oldsk00l, too bad. he's asking about Unity, so we're going to discuss Unity. | 12:58 |
squigle | Roasted, possibly, this is a default install, its my first go at trying it | 12:58 |
oldsk00l | obviously it isn't working for him :p | 12:58 |
oldsk00l | don't get so uptight about it | 12:58 |
Roasted | squigle, good deal. if you drag your mouse to the other monitor slowly, does it feel like it "hangs" in the middle when transitioning over? | 12:58 |
Roasted | oldsk00l, if you could read, he's asking a general question about it. | 12:58 |
oldsk00l | again, don't get so uptight about it | 12:59 |
Roasted | oldsk00l, not so much troubleshooting why it's not functioning. | 12:59 |
squigle | Roasted, I found some configs ive got it stuck in the middle now, im just trying to get used to it | 12:59 |
Roasted | oldsk00l, #xubuntu | 12:59 |
Roasted | squigle, configs? stuck in the middle? | 12:59 |
Roasted | squigle, by chance do you have a screen shot you can toss up? | 12:59 |
squigle | when i find the new print screen application :D | 13:00 |
Twinlator | I think ubuntu 12.04 LTS is just a little different from 11.10 | 13:00 |
Roasted | squigle, hit the super key (windows key) and type screenshot. | 13:00 |
Roasted | squigle, then throw it up on imgur.com or something quick and easy. | 13:00 |
=== nikolja is now known as nikolja|odsutan | ||
squigle | its possibly my windows key is not the super key | 13:01 |
Wobbo | Help! LibreOffice 3.5 has a problem. Since Ubuntu 12.04 I can't open my documents anymore. I have tried and checked my documents (.odt) on a USB (fat). A Ubuntu 11.04 (64bit) LibreOffice 3.3 and Ubuntu 11.10 (64bit) LibreOffice 3.4 have had no problems. What to do? I need to work further with my thesis essay... | 13:01 |
Roasted | Twinlator, little? I'm finding it to be quite a lot different. I've passionately hated Unity since the day it came out, and for the first time not only can I tolerate it, but I enjoy it. | 13:01 |
oldsk00l | Wobbo, can you open the documents from within the application? | 13:01 |
oldsk00l | as in file, open? | 13:01 |
Roasted | squigle, the windows key should be the super key. That's how it registers to linux. | 13:01 |
oldsk00l | or is it just file associations being broken? | 13:01 |
Wobbo | Not on 12.04 | 13:02 |
bbbbbbbb | I am trying to play the Amnesia demo, but it crashes right at the start (after the gamma settings). Terminal output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/952375/ | 13:02 |
bbbbbbbb | I just removed pulseaudio, didn't do anything | 13:02 |
squigle | i have a non us keyboard I can see what the super key is, (its alt at the moment), | 13:02 |
squigle | what should happen when I press it | 13:02 |
squigle | some thing like gnome-do? | 13:02 |
Roasted | squigle, press what, screenshot utility? | 13:02 |
squigle | what happens when I press the super key | 13:03 |
Roasted | squigle, the Unity dash should open up | 13:03 |
squigle | yep that doesnt | 13:03 |
Twinlator | Roasted, what do I want to say is 12.04 is more good-looking than 11.10 | 13:03 |
squigle | i turned off sticky edges and im much happier | 13:03 |
Roasted | Twinlator, I'm not sure? What do you want to say? | 13:03 |
innerand | Hello! How can I set single monitor to default in 12.04? (Notebook in dock goes always to mirror-mode) | 13:03 |
Roasted | squigle, nice. I prefer sticky edges now that I got used to it, but they enraged me at first. | 13:04 |
Roasted | squigle, I just got into the habit of when I transition from one monitor to another, I'm quick on the mouse so the sticky edges doesn't catch me. | 13:04 |
Roasted | squigle, you should see something similar to this when you press the super key - http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZvqnbW5X2CY/TzlBiC2EtWI/AAAAAAAAHvc/YEjFtpluPXE/s1600/unity-dash-coverflow.png | 13:04 |
Roasted | Question - does anybody know if Deja Dup excludes .gvfs by default? | 13:05 |
squigle | Roasted, this is what I get, http://imgur.com/TJAJH | 13:05 |
squigle | the unity bar is in the middle of my screens | 13:05 |
Enon | is there any panel exist in which I can do Disk Quota as well as Bandwidth Quota without Virtulisation? | 13:06 |
vbajpai | where can I learn about the non-gui (core OS) related updates in 12.04 (using resolvconf as default for example) | 13:06 |
Roasted | squigle, click the icon at the very top on the bar. that'll open the dash too. | 13:06 |
squigle | Roasted, yeah, id like that hot key though, I think thats the whole point :D | 13:06 |
Roasted | squigle, agreed. let me look around a sec... | 13:06 |
Roasted | squigle, I'm not even suer if that hot key is changable... | 13:06 |
Roasted | squigle, hm yeah, it's not even listed in the keyboard shortcuts. | 13:07 |
Roasted | squigle, hold down the super key for 3-4 seconds straight. see if a shortcut menu comes up. | 13:07 |
suryak | I am using Lenovo G570 (Intel i5 - 4GB RAM, ATI Radeon Graphics + Inbuild graphics).. | 13:08 |
Enon | is there any panel exist in which I can do Disk Quota as well as Bandwidth Quota without Virtulisation? | 13:08 |
squigle | still no | 13:08 |
suryak | So, what's the status of power dissipation | 13:08 |
Roasted | squigle, I have to wonder if your super key is actually functional. When's the last time you used it that you recall it working? | 13:08 |
Wobbo | I have also tryde to open the same document on another Ubuntu 12.04 (Virtual) but stil can't open all documents (the are alle above 3MB) on LibreOffice 3.5. | 13:08 |
Roasted | squigle, I've just never seen Linux fail to recognize that key. I suppose it's possible but.. in my experience I haven't seen it. | 13:08 |
squigle | Roasted, it works I can launch the keyboard app | 13:08 |
Roasted | squigle, pardon? the keyboard app? | 13:09 |

Twinlator | Chinese在此! | 13:10 |
suryak | can anyone tell me what's the status of power dissipation in ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 13:10 |
Roasted | squigle, do you by chance know, that key on a UK keyboard, does it change location/functionality? | 13:10 |
squigle | oh i wonder if im in some strange mix of gnome/unity here | 13:10 |
Enon | is there any panel exist in which I can do Disk Quota as well as Bandwidth Quota without Virtulisation? | 13:10 |
zik | I have problem with certain repository which was fine for oneiric release, but not for precise. Is it possible to use packages from old repositories for new releases? | 13:11 |

So far so good, but i have a couple of questions on the unity desktop. when using gpodder, I set put in system tray however I not sure if unity has a system tray and if so does this work | 13:11 |
knownasilya_ | Are there any logs which show when applications started and closed? | 13:12 |
connelly | so I upgraded to 12.04 and now my GTK widgets in every gtk application (handbrake, chrome, pygtk code, etc) all look like they're from 1993 - wtf happened? how do I fix them? | 13:13 |
enzotib | knownasilya_, no, but you can use auditing capabilities of the kernel, see package system-config-audit | 13:13 |
Roasted | connelly, not sure I can help, but do you have a screenshot handy? | 13:13 |
Roasted | Question - does anybody know if Deja Dup excludes .gvfs by default? | 13:13 |

Dr_Mike | How can I tell if my computer meets the minimum required specs for Unity? | 13:14 |
connelly | Roasted: just a sec | 13:14 |
robgraves | Petskull: 2 days ago | 13:14 |
Petskull | ah | 13:14 |
Petskull | neato | 13:14 |
Twinlator | Why 12.04 has so many updates, it just came out a fewer days? | 13:14 |
_Jac0 | Hi,why ubuntu 12.04 doesn't save the current setting of screen brightness? | 13:14 |
Roasted | Peterman, it's here. ;) | 13:14 |
Petskull | there's not much fanfare nowadays.. | 13:15 |
Roasted | Twinlator, updates are a good thing. It means things are getting fixed. :) | 13:15 |
Roasted | Petskull, fanfare? | 13:15 |
robgraves | lol | 13:15 |
squigle | Roasted, still no good, but my unity menu just went to the right place! so one win. | 13:15 |
Petskull | the party used to be incredible here | 13:16 |
robgraves | like what? | 13:16 |
squigle | I like it its super gnome-do | 13:16 |

Twinlator | Roasted, but it just came out a fewer days! | 13:16 |

robgraves | there was a countdown on OMGUbuntu | 13:16 |
Petskull | but I've been watiting for this to go live for a week and I've had trouble telling when it happened | 13:16 |
squigle | Roasted, loged in and out, was all, but I had turned on twin view previously | 13:16 |
Roasted | Twinlator, not sure bro. No piece of software comes out bugless. | 13:16 |
squigle | let me try logging into a new account | 13:16 |
connelly | Roasted: http://imgur.com/KRXXY | 13:16 |
Petskull | not sure it's the same.. | 13:16 |
Roasted | Petskull, the lack of speed with their main updatet server would suggest they're getting pwned right now. | 13:16 |
Roasted | Petskull, especially considering new ones are added with each release, and even still they're swamped under demand of the bandwidth to get 12.04. | 13:17 |
Roasted | connelly, wow, you weren't kidding. | 13:17 |
Roasted | connelly, it looks like your theme, though. | 13:17 |
connelly | how do I change the theme? | 13:17 |
Roasted | connelly, did you keep your same home directory? | 13:17 |
connelly | yeah | 13:17 |
Roasted | connelly, what theme did you use before? | 13:17 |
Petskull | I'm just saying it feels (from here) a bit like the excitement in Ubuntu is waning | 13:18 |
connelly | I have no clue - I thought I was just using the defaults | 13:18 |
zoopp | I just did a fresh install of 12.04 LTS and all went ok however after updating packages the system hangs on boot. Anyone else experiencing this? | 13:18 |
Petskull | I wonder if debian has a livecd version.. | 13:18 |
enzotib | yes, there is | 13:18 |
robgraves | this release is pretty solid, I've literally tried to break it and so far to no avail | 13:18 |
nicekiwi | I installed a LAMP server on Ubuntu 12.04 by this tutorial: http://tuxtweaks.com/2012/04/installing-lamp-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/, but when i finished installing phpmyadmin localhost/phpmyadmin/ returned 404. help? | 13:18 |
Roasted | connelly, I had that happen when I redid my system. Themes are installed to /usr/share/themes. Since /usr/share/themes, of course, isn't in your home directory, my theme got inheritently erased when I installed Ubuntu. | 13:18 |
* Petskull checks | 13:18 | |
Roasted | connelly, so it resorted to a fallback theme, which of course, looks terrible. | 13:18 |
Roasted | connelly, one sec. there's a small GUI to install to change it, let me check | 13:18 |
Roasted | connelly, gnome-tweak-tool | 13:19 |
Petskull | Roasted, the themes? | 13:19 |
squigle | Roasted, ok it is pre-existing settings some how | 13:19 |
connelly | Roasted: so I googled around and installed that | 13:19 |

zoopp | I just did a fresh install of 12.04 LTS and all went ok however after updating packages the system hangs on boot. Anyone else experiencing this? | 13:19 |
Roasted | connelly, fire it up. It's likely listed as Advanced Settings or some crap in your menu. | 13:19 |
squigle | whats unities settings folder? . | 13:19 |
connelly | the Theme->Shell theme drop-down just has a warning sign and no options - what does that mean? | 13:19 |
L8 | nicekiwi, you need to put alias in apache config | 13:20 |
Roasted | connelly, Shell theme is for Gnome Shell. | 13:20 |
L8 | Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin | 13:20 |
Roasted | connelly, you want to look for GTK+ theme and Window theme. | 13:20 |
connelly | ok thanks | 13:20 |
Roasted | connelly, it's under the same menu, just further down. | 13:20 |
nicekiwi | L8, wheres the config file? | 13:20 |
L8 | /etc/apache2/apache2.conf | 13:20 |
connelly | weird there's no save button | 13:21 |
connelly | do I just close it and re-open applications? | 13:21 |
Hoyt | hi , can anyone print out file contents of /lib/plymouth/themes/default.grub | 13:21 |
Roasted | connelly, GTK+ themes take over immediately. Window themes only take over when you log out/back in. But the bulk of what you need is GTK+ themes. | 13:21 |
Hoyt | and dpkg -S /lib/plymouth/themes/default.grub | 13:21 |
dadanopan | hey there, is there a way to change a icon on the unity launcher? | 13:21 |
zoopp | I just did a fresh install of 12.04 LTS and all went ok however after updating packages the system hangs on boot. Anyone else experiencing this? | 13:21 |
Roasted | connelly, your GTK theme is the awful looking thing you see now. Choosing a new GTK theme should, hopefully, make it look not so suck. But yes, open a new window and see. | 13:21 |
connelly | Roasted: ok, brb | 13:22 |

captbunzo | I don't mind stepping through them one at a time, just wanna make sure I'm not missing something. | 13:27 |
Riberty | is there a way to have the programs i had running prior to restart/shutting down reopen again after i have rebooted? | 13:27 |
Roasted | connelly, open a terminal. cd to /usr/share/themes. then run ls -l (thats LS -L, but run it lowercase). Pastebin the output. | 13:27 |
Rurd2di | captbunzo: u will have to | 13:27 |
suryak | ljsoftnet thanks. | 13:27 |
jMCg | Update to 12.04 -> no sound. For one. How do I stop pulseaudio from restarting, so I can check if just alsa works? | 13:27 |
jrib | captbunzo: 10.04 won't offer an upgrade to 12.04 untill 12.04.1 exists (see the releasenotes). If you want to upgrade, you must pass -d I believe | 13:27 |
ljsoftnet | suryak no problem | 13:27 |
systemclient | What is up with "sudo: pam_mount.c:417: modify_pm_count: Assertion `user != ((void *)0)' failed."? | 13:27 |

ljsoftnet | dadanopan no idea | 13:28 |

jrib | captbunzo: see releasenotes, bug tracker, and this channel :) (I don't know; it's probably fine) | 13:31 |
L3top | Twinlator: autoclean only gets rid of packages that are basically useless, not being available for dl. It trims the cache without fully ridding it. | 13:31 |
systemclient | captbunzo: the kubuntu bootscreen is ugly, dolphin has no longer columns | 13:31 |

connelly | Roasted: it says I'm running in 2D mode.. I have a really nice ATI 3D card... could that be a cause? the ATI management stuff seems to be working and my dual monitors are working fine in X... | 13:34 |
L3top | Twinlator: what do you mean? All that clean/autoclean do is remove all/some packages from /var/cache/apt/archives autoremove gets rid of packages that were installed as dependencies but are not needed. | 13:35 |
Twinlator | can i use ubuntu server to browse webpage? | 13:35 |
captbunzo | no frustration, just noticed it was being upgraded | 13:35 |
Roasted | connelly, nah, 2d mode and 3d mode look almost identical actually. They just operate with different levels of eye candy otherwise. But first glance, they look fine. | 13:35 |
* captbunzo wonders if his irritations with unity have been fixed in 12.04 | 13:35 | |
=== resmo__ is now known as resmo | ||
jrib | Twinlator: yes, try w3m, links2, elinks, and probably others that I'm forgetting... | 13:35 |
* captbunzo guesses not... | 13:35 | |
zoopp | I just did a fresh install of 12.04 LTS and all went ok however after updating packages the system hangs on boot. Anyone else experiencing this? | 13:35 |
jrib | Twinlator: lynx :) | 13:36 |
halakar | hey guise - what's a good popup blocker for chromium? I used to use better popup blocker. it did a good job. what do you guys think? | 13:36 |
Roasted | captbunzo, long time Unity hater here... guess what I'm using? | 13:36 |
captbunzo | mint? | 13:36 |
yellabs-r2 | hmm, i will try dvdstyler | 13:36 |
captbunzo | ooops, did I say that out loud? | 13:36 |
L3top | Twinlator: if you are without desktop, then use text... but server can run desktop as well. | 13:36 |
captbunzo | Gnome Shell? | 13:36 |
connelly | Roasted: the themes selector in myunity changes the window styles but not the gtk widgets | 13:36 |
Roasted | gtk widgets? | 13:37 |
resmo | zoopp: any output what went wrong? | 13:37 |
Jen | I've got a problem ... I'm trying to boot an Acer Apire One 722 using a 12.04 ISO (md5dum checked) which I put on a USB drive using Startup Drive Creator on 11.10 ... seems it went fine, but after showing the little keyboard icon at the bottom and ten shifting to the ubuntu logo and the dots changing colour along the screen .... eventually the dots freeze and everything stops -- any thoughts? | 13:37 |
Roasted | captbunzo, nope. | 13:37 |
captbunzo | Roasted: whatcha using then? | 13:37 |
Roasted | captbunzo, I passionately hated Unity and loved Gnome Shell since 11.04... but with 12.04, I'm back to Unity. | 13:37 |
L3top | er text browsers provided above Twinlator: lynx etc. | 13:37 |
captbunzo | gasp! | 13:37 |
Roasted | captbunzo, not only is Unity usable, but it solves what few frustrations I had in Gnome Shell... | 13:37 |
resmo | zoopp: does alt-ctrl-f1 work? | 13:37 |
connelly | Roasted: I'm assuming they are GTK widgets used in handbrake and pronterface | 13:37 |
captbunzo | I don't fundamentally hate unity. | 13:37 |
zoopp | resmo: everything update correctly..I did however notice it hangs after Apparmor starts. | 13:37 |
karthick87 | How do i change the wallpaper of a ubuntu desktop via script from root user? | 13:37 |
Roasted | captbunzo, for example, xchat highlights my name in Unity. It NEVER did that in GS. | 13:37 |
connelly | Roasted: all the myunity themes selector changes is the window styles | 13:38 |
captbunzo | I just hate a few very very very bad decisions made in it | 13:38 |
safeith | Are there any way to use gwibber with proxy | 13:38 |
Roasted | captbunzo, I can also set up a pritner by IP on Unity, whereas GS uses this ridiculously terrible printer gui that allows me to select NOTHING. I can't even select the driver I want for the printer! | 13:38 |
captbunzo | for instance, is the menu for an application still always at the top of the screen? | 13:38 |
Roasted | captbunzo, but they're "working on it" | 13:38 |
zoopp | resmo: I did not try however I was able to get down to root shell by using recovery mode. | 13:38 |
Roasted | captbunzo, so I'm sure it'll be great in time. Right now it rages me though. | 13:38 |
Roasted | connelly, hmm... | 13:38 |
Rurd2di | Roasted: i wish i had stayed 11.10 also | 13:38 |
resmo | zoopp: ok, but this will not help solving the problem | 13:38 |
normatif | Is it a mistake to run 'do-release-upgrade' in GUI desktop? | 13:38 |
Roasted | connelly, hey, drop up to /usr/share, and do ls -l there. what are the octal rights? | 13:39 |
Roasted | connelly, to themes, that is. | 13:39 |
zoopp | resmo: what should I do in order to solve it? | 13:39 |
jrib | karthick87: probably with gsettings | 13:39 |
captbunzo | normatif: probably that would be fine | 13:39 |
Roasted | Rurd2di, not me. 11.10 wasn't bad at all, but 12.04 leaves me with 0 desire to use 11.10. | 13:39 |
connelly | Roasted: drwxr-xr-x | 13:39 |

L3top | normatif: can see no reason at all for a problem | 13:39 |
Roasted | connelly, dangit... | 13:39 |
karthick87 | jrib: We are using ubuntu 10.10 here? | 13:39 |
Roasted | connelly, I'm at a loss bro... the permissions are there, the MyUnity GUI should change your GTK apps... | 13:40 |
resmo | zoopp: you should try boot again in normal mode and try to get a shell, if you are not able to get a shell, then I would try disabling appamor | 13:40 |
resmo | in recovery mode | 13:40 |
L3top | Rajvi: what is the video card? | 13:40 |
jrib | karthick87: 10.10 is not supported, you should upgrade :/ I don't remember when the switch from gconf to dconf occured | 13:40 |
Rajvi | I don't know. I was working fine | 13:40 |
L3top | it was working fine in 1204? | 13:41 |

guest007 | hello, can someone point me to the proper tutorial, i dont really know how to describe it in google, but i would like to make my ubuntu 10.04 usb flash drive be like a hard drive where it will save files e like saving files in its home folder and whatnot... any help would be mucho appreciated ::) | 13:41 |
Roasted | connelly, the entire theme resides in /usr/share/themes. period. that's just where it lives. I fail to see why those permissions would give you any sort of problem. | 13:41 |
karthick87 | jrib: Its not possible to upgrade. Any other way | 13:41 |
jrib | karthick87: why is it not possible? | 13:42 |
zoopp | resmo: hmm, but there's an [OK] thingie after the apparmor entry in the boot process..it just hangs after that. I don't think it's Apparmor. | 13:42 |

guest007 | persistant bootable ysb | 13:43 |
connelly | Roasted: after logging out and logging in again, it looks like gnome-settings-daemon might be the culprit - it crashes at login everytime and apaprently is in charge of theming | 13:43 |
captbunzo | normatif: You should probably pick one of the Chinese options | 13:43 |
zoopp | resmo: it did get past the network initialization I think. | 13:43 |
Rullakee1ab | hello. what is the command to deattach all screens by using terminal? | 13:43 |

Roasted | connelly, how did you install 12.04? upgrade? | 13:43 |
L3top | Rullakee1ab: what do you mean detatch all screens? | 13:44 |
resmo | zoopp: try reboot and press ctrl-d or ctrl-c if it hangs again at that point | 13:44 |
Rajvi | I did a bit of troubleshooting myself . I accidently installed it using en(UK Layout ) , but realize my mistake immediately changed my password using us-US( default) and i am damn sure NOW i m using the correct layout to login .. it splash in shell and BOOM!! | 13:44 |

Roasted | connelly, I did a fresh install from beta, and updated through there. I didn't come from 11.10... all I can really say is, things look normal from what I can tell, and mine works with the way I updated. :( | 13:48 |
uzf | so far 12.04 is working good on my laptop, it's the dist-upgrade I'm afraid of | 13:48 |

Roasted | uzf, yep. :( | 13:49 |
Roasted | uzf, you can change your update server for better speeds. | 13:49 |
connelly | Roasted: so this crash sounds like the cause - according to the bug report, it happens on multi-headed setups (which I have) and causees gsd to crash at login (which is happening) which causes all widgets and fonts to be unthemed globally | 13:49 |
squigle | rm -rf .gnome2 .gtk etc | 13:49 |

L3top | devis_: that isn't a very good description of a problem | 14:03 |
jrib | fellayaboy: that only gets sourced at login so if you're testing you need to explicitly source it or log out and back in. .bashrc gets sourced for every shell you open so you could use that too | 14:03 |
uzf | I've never ever had a dist upgrade actually work | 14:03 |

connelly | how do I turn off or change all of these new annoying sound effects? I don't see anything in the unity sound menu for them | 14:04 |
devis_ | my screen is a samsung tv | 14:04 |
UICTamale | uzf: ya, I never lose my data, but my OS customizations and all the time I put into getting the right packages installed and working the way I want to is wasted each time | 14:05 |
uzf | yep | 14:05 |
endafy | this fucking sucks | 14:05 |
UICTamale | jrib: Are you upgrading on a desktop or laptop? | 14:05 |
uzf | usually my nvidia drivers are blown away, I know it will happen this time | 14:05 |
kamilnadeem | The refresh rate reverts to 87Hz even after I have set it to 60Hz | 14:05 |
kamilnadeem | how to fix that ? | 14:05 |
jrib | UICTamale: both, though the laptop only since about dapper's time | 14:05 |
UICTamale | I'm on ATI this time around, and on 12.04 I can't change my resolution to my laptop's native res | 14:05 |
uzf | for some reason, ubuntu can't figure out how to upgrade a driver | 14:05 |
UICTamale | well to be fair, it's not like there are 'ubuntu drivers' | 14:06 |
UICTamale | it's all whatever the kernel supports | 14:06 |
uzf | well, they should be able to use 3rd party and apply the newly released ones | 14:06 |
uzf | which never works | 14:06 |
UICTamale | I just think there needs to be more money put into QA somehow | 14:06 |
UICTamale | I know I'd be willing to pay for ubuntu. | 14:06 |
uzf | I think we are the QA team | 14:06 |
LinuxGuy2009 | money is the key | 14:06 |
UICTamale | ha | 14:06 |
=== Under_Average_Jo is now known as Over_Average_Jo | ||
UICTamale | speaking of actual help however, I need some help now that I'm running 12.04 to get my ati drivers working again. | 14:07 |
uzf | the devs just grep the channel logs and parse out the highest hitters for people getting banned after a bad install | 14:07 |
ssta | it's not really about money. For ATI it's *hard* to write a free driver, and gthe manufacturer's drivers suck | 14:07 |
normatif | is PAE enabled kernel default now? | 14:07 |
UICTamale | I was running pretty well with the open source drivers in 11.10 | 14:07 |
uzf | then decide whats worth fixing | 14:07 |
uzf | thats my theory anyway | 14:07 |
uzf | Only *5* hours remaining... | 14:08 |
UICTamale | I think they just try to make sure most things work on the really popular hardware, and leave everyone else to fend for themselves | 14:08 |
UICTamale | which is totally fair, in all honesty | 14:08 |
uzf | yeah | 14:08 |
uzf | I need the new kernel to pickup my own kernel commits | 14:08 |
L3top | UICTamale: does lspci | grep VGA | grep -Ei '((r5|r6|r7)|(9|X|ES)(1|2?)([0-9])(5|0)0|Xpress)' return a result? | 14:08 |
uzf | the other stuff, hell with it I guess | 14:08 |
UICTamale | whoa, nice regex | 14:09 |
LinuxGuy2009 | well if drivers dont work then there is always the choice of staying with an older more stable release | 14:09 |
uzf | why would anyone use a regexp like that | 14:09 |
CanStudy-_- | once some bugs have been fixed after release, would the iso download on the website be updated to include this fixes, or would one still need to update if one downloads and installs a few weeks after release? | 14:09 |
UICTamale | L3top: No, it does not. | 14:09 |
CanStudy-_- | these * | 14:09 |
L3top | because it determines every ati card that is not supported by the fglrx driver. | 14:09 |
LinuxGuy2009 | CanStudy-_-: Point releases have package updates. | 14:09 |
CanStudy-_- | aha | 14:09 |
L3top | You don't have to if you don't want. :P | 14:09 |
jrib | uzf: point releases are made (like 12.04.1, etc) | 14:09 |
CanStudy-_- | that answers my question, thanks LinuxGuy2009 | 14:10 |
UICTamale | L3top: I have a mobility firepro M8900 | 14:10 |
uzf | whats lspci -vv say? does it even see the card? | 14:10 |
UICTamale | Dell precision M6600 | 14:10 |
UICTamale | umm | 14:10 |
LinuxGuy2009 | CanStudy-_-: The alternative discs can be used as service packs if you dont want to reinstall fresh with the standard CD FYI. | 14:10 |
UICTamale | let me check | 14:10 |
uzf | an strange stuff out of /var/log/messages? | 14:11 |

pirut | hey, I have a question about ubuntu 12.04 in lxc, is this the right channel ? | 14:11 |
UICTamale | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Blackcomb [Radeon HD 6900M series] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) | 14:11 |
L3top | UICTamale: apt-get -s remove fglrx* | 14:11 |
uzf | Pirut: I remember you from #playonlinux | 14:11 |
L3top | that is just a simulation. I am wondering if fglrx was installed by something. It conflicts with open source driver | 14:11 |
UICTamale | L3top: No fglrx packages installed | 14:11 |
L3top | figured | 14:11 |
UICTamale | so.. just recompile the radeon module? | 14:11 |
uzf | reinstall them? | 14:11 |
UICTamale | try again? | 14:12 |
* L3top geusses he could have just done apt-cache policy | 14:12 | |
uzf | remove the driver and do it again? | 14:12 |
L3top | I wouldn't think it would be necessary. | 14:12 |
pirut | uzf: I dont recognize the channel ? | 14:12 |
uzf | must be someone else then | 14:12 |
Fizzik | would anybody beable to help me out i have a wireless pci-e card asus pcie n-15 card.. Now its giving me issues in ubuntu with its default drivers. The card seems to be very intermitent, slow etc. random no internet access. the intermitency is also evident when ftp transfering the transfer rate is sperodic. I need help either finding a new updated driver etc here is my lspci -v output | 14:12 |
Fizzik | http://pastebin.com/HSNV20yB Btw this card works flawless under windows 7. | 14:12 |
L3top | I would try apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-radeon if you want to stay on opensource... | 14:13 |
LinuxGuy2009 | Fizzik: Well just cause something works in a different OS, that doesnt mean a whole lot in linux. | 14:13 |
UICTamale | L3top: just did that.. I'll try rebooting. | 14:13 |
uzf | I dont know ATI, or I'd offer more | 14:13 |
jlb181 | Fizzik, did you get the link I sent you? | 14:13 |
UICTamale | I should have the 3.2 kernel if I'm in precise, right? | 14:13 |
uzf | do they have an ATI script like nvidia-xconfig? | 14:14 |
uzf | 3.2 is it | 14:14 |
L3top | aticonfig I believe... | 14:14 |
L3top | UICTamale: Are you just against third party drivers? | 14:15 |
uzf | good thing is, the last time I did a dist upgrade (like a year ago), I didn't have a laptop | 14:15 |

uzf | but it isn't free | 14:18 |
fr500 | Youssef_KH: you can't read | 14:18 |
LucasCampos | LinuxGuy2009: They are not. I tested on my mp3 player and they are ok. Also, the audio board is OK, as I was using it on Xubuntu 11.10 without any problem | 14:18 |
fr500 | you can run it | 14:18 |
uzf | LinuxGuy2009: I'm already halfway done, not gonna stop it now | 14:18 |
Youssef_KH | fr500 que veut tu dire par la ? | 14:19 |
uzf | Youssef_KH: use a hex editor | 14:19 |
compdoc | UICTamale, google: SSH Secure Shell Client 3.2.9 | 14:19 |
LinuxGuy2009 | LucasCampos: Yeah new releases having lots of bugs is pretty common in my past use. | 14:19 |
UICTamale | compdoc: Ha, I used to use that one. You're right, it's pretty nice. | 14:19 |
L3top | UICTamale: try apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri fglrx-modaliases | 14:19 |
L3top | That will not install fglrx, but borrow its modaliases. | 14:20 |
Youssef_KH | solved i am using UnRar :) | 14:20 |
* uzf waits for a scrogged system... | 14:20 | |
UICTamale | And the benefit of that would be? | 14:20 |
uzf | apt-get remvoe * | 14:20 |
uzf | I really hope that this dist-upgrade does not totally F-up my system | 14:21 |
L3top | It is how we handle all radeon cards... works for just about everything... as to why specifically we use that combination, it predates me and "just works" | 14:21 |
L3top | with open source driver * | 14:21 |
LinuxGuy2009 | uzf: Backup | 14:21 |
LucasCampos | LinuxGuy2009: I don't know if this is a coincidence, but when I used Fedora 16, on a specif kernel version my audio worked, but on more recent versions, it behaved just like Ubuntu is doing right now | 14:21 |
uzf | I dont care if the applications are screwed up, just give me a working install with X11 | 14:21 |
uzf | I already backed up | 14:21 |
LucasCampos | LinuxGuy2009: *Maybe* it is an upstream issue? | 14:21 |
LinuxGuy2009 | LucasCampos: DId you check for mutes etc? | 14:22 |
UICTamale | cool, I'll give it a shot | 14:22 |

L3top | Travis-42: that will backup your default display manager file, in case you want to revert, as ddm.bu in /etc/X11 and overwrite it with /bin/false which will prevent the upstart from launching lightdm as your dm | 14:54 |

subb1 | LucasCampos, thanks ! | 14:57 |
LucasCampos | subb1: Did it work? | 14:57 |
L3top | oops... that was not for Travis-42, that was for tgary | 14:57 |

koro | hi, i have just upgraded two times in a row: 11.04 -> 11.10 ->12.04 and now whenever i start i get a "system error" message which says that unity-lens-music crashed (segmentation fault) an the search bar and icons are empty in unity | 14:58 |
LucasCampos | subb1: I love whenever Google agrees with me =) | 14:58 |
L3top | crap... I hope he doesn't do that and can't get back... man I am terrible when two nics start witht he same letter. | 14:58 |
uzf | koro: apt-get remove unity | 14:58 |
subb1 | LucasCampos, does everyone ? :) | 14:58 |
mitpatterson | uzf true... well it doesn't seem to be the system slow, just the network connection, heck evening connecting to the local router is SLOW (192.168.1.1) and also that doesn't explain it not detecting my battery | 14:58 |
L3top | farmboy: sorry... rereading now... | 14:58 |
fahmyboy | l3top: thanks :) | 14:58 |
uzf | battery/network shouldnt have much to do with each other | 14:58 |

mitpatterson | uzf thats what i thought, but they both started having issues about the same time | 14:59 |
koro | i tried running unity-lens-music myself and i get this: http://pastebin.com/XNndYB7F | 14:59 |

koro | uzf: you mean i should reinstall? i already tried reinstalling alll the unity-lens things | 14:59 |

asterisk-Tester | mm ok let me try that | 15:11 |
jrib | UICTamale: first I'd see if the prediction is accurate at all/changes | 15:11 |
ezoe | I think Ubuntu's ALSA is wrongly configured. | 15:11 |
uzf | ezoe: I tested my ALSA kernel changes in 3.2/12.04 and they work | 15:12 |
UICTamale | jrib: judging by the heat this thing is putting off, the noise of the fans, and the fact that now it's already at 95% I think it's probably about spot on | 15:12 |
koro | uzf: for future reference, the solution was removing ~/.local/share whcih contains config info for zeitgeist and other stuff | 15:12 |
abis | how are you trying to start ff? what happens? | 15:12 |
uzf | koro: good deal | 15:12 |
ezoe | uzf: I mean, it doesn't configured to use PulseAudio by default. | 15:12 |
jrib | UICTamale: is anything abnormal in top/ | 15:12 |
UICTamale | jrib: it's like it's running my graphics card and cpu at full-bore or something | 15:12 |
uzf | did that forum help? | 15:12 |
eutheria | my only problem is that my grub display screen is showing the debian logo | 15:13 |
eutheria | but oh well i used to be a debian nut 10 years ago | 15:13 |
uzf | UICTamale: any luck man? | 15:13 |
ezoe | so any software that directly use ALSA made strange clipping noise. | 15:13 |
UICTamale | uzf: Yup.. up and running in precise finally :) | 15:13 |
uzf | what'd you do | 15:13 |
UICTamale | jrib: Nope, load is under 0.2 | 15:13 |

systemclient | I just upgraded and now the launcher does not slide out. I see a shadow appear, but no launcher … how can I fix that? | 15:15 |
bravery | how to avoid naming the launcher icons when pointer move on it as the naming of "dash home" covers the text entered in the search box unless I move the mouse which is annoying. | 15:15 |

snowrichard | mirrors for 12.04 upgrade very slow i've got time remaining in days | 15:24 |
ssta | that's because the whole internet is downloading it right now | 15:24 |
L3top | well snowrichard those mirrors are experiencing unusually high traffic as a LTS was just released a day or so ago. That is sort of to be expected. | 15:25 |
fahmyboy | l3top: i have done that as well | 15:25 |

randomenduser | std0s, there are also blue dotted lines going down the monitor, and odd characters in the grub menu. the lines are there in the bios as well | 16:33 |

randomenduser | Stereocaulon, I've reseated it. I don't seem to have an onboard one.. so I'll need to borrow a firends to rule it out. any software tests I can run? | 16:35 |

balduin | zykotick9 *because deluser doesn't work it give me the error that /etc/passwd is locked! | 16:37 |
std0s | its the firmware by the souunds - which gfx card - also try leaving it off for some time (30 secs should do it) to make sure the nv ram is clear | 16:38 |
randomenduser | zykotick9, yeah, but the roommates need to wake or I need a vga cable :S, so it'll be a bit | 16:38 |
zykotick9 | randomenduser: i'd also check for bent pins if it's a vga cable | 16:38 |
Stereocaulon | zykotick9, the monitor? Hmm, didn't think of that one. Yes, another possibility. | 16:38 |
std0s | is it a radeon using their driver? | 16:38 |

Fyodorovna | I love the rants....users straight to the ignore list. | 16:56 |
uzf | ok, so if I click "Cancel" during the dist update, add a mirror, it will resume from the same spot? | 16:57 |
chump2 | Fyodorovna, do you know how to hide a running app from the dash? | 16:57 |
chump2 | It seems like a simple thing. I just upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04 lol | 16:57 |
uzf | and whats a fast mirror | 16:57 |
drvanon_ | auronandace, will knowing the FCC work? | 16:58 |
krababbel | chump2: I believe the app should specify a tray icon for such concealment | 16:58 |
auronandace | drvanon_: no idea, i'm not even sure what fcc is | 16:58 |
Sidewinder | My biggest complaint with Skype (other than it's ownership), is that everytime someone (usually my kids) runs it, it opens a different port in the router, and that, then those ports remain open forever. Unless I go in and manually close and delete them. A real PIA and somewhat OT, other than the facr that some of you may not be aware of it. | 16:59 |
chump2 | krababbel, I found help to get ubuntu to whitelist the notification by running dconf. | 16:59 |
Sidewinder | fact, even. | 16:59 |
_nedR | hello ...wondering is there any way for 2 users to use 2 separate accounts on a single laptop locally (first user using laptop keyboard, mouse and keyboard; second using attached keyboard,mouse and monitor) | 16:59 |
chump2 | The issue is that if you click twice on Skype you get two skypes. This is bad because it clears out the setting to automatically log in. | 16:59 |
auronandace | _nedR: at the same time? i doubt it | 17:00 |
krababbel | chump2: I use dropbox for instance, and it has no problem staying in tray only, no idea | 17:00 |
fahmad | hello | 17:00 |
uzf | how do I configure a FAST mirror when I run update-manager -d | 17:00 |
_nedR | yes at the same time... though why should'nt this be impossible ... wasn't that one of the main differences between unix and traditional systems back in the day | 17:01 |

zykotick9 | _nedR: that's called multiseat - non-trivial to get working | 17:02 |
auronandace | _nedR: perhaps you need a server instead | 17:02 |
_nedR | userful does something quite similar.. but they seem to need a zero-client to work ... not sure though ... http://www.userful.com/products/userful-multiseat-linux | 17:02 |

drvanon_ | auronandace, is that what we are searching for? | 17:02 |
_nedR | auronandace.. what do you mean? like a ubuntu server edition or something? | 17:03 |
auronandace | drvanon_: the maker is what we need, what brand is it? | 17:03 |

Fyodorovna | fahmad, this is ubuntu support there is a centos channel I believe, would you like the adress | 17:03 |
chump2 | krababbel, I added Skype to startup... Maybe I need a script that detects if an instance is running, and run that, say, Skype.sh? | 17:03 |
chump2 | idk. Maybe it would work :| | 17:03 |
snowrichard | ok i got to go get a check from my mom bbl | 17:03 |
chump2 | It wouldn't hide it, but it would prevent it from opening two instances... | 17:04 |
snowrichard | got the check, got tire for car ordered, got gas... | 17:04 |
fahmad | Fyodorovna: i know but you did not understand i could not able to login to system using gui but i can login using ssh and console to the ubuntu client ... | 17:04 |
drvanon_ | auronandace, realtek | 17:04 |
drvanon_ | auronandace, or so it seems after looking on google | 17:04 |
_nedR | zykotick9: yes this multi-seat thing seems to be what userful provides software for.. but is special hardware required for this? | 17:04 |
fahmad | Fyodorovna: running server on centos does not mean i can not run client on ubuntu :) | 17:04 |
auronandace | drvanon_: any specific realtek? is it rather new? | 17:05 |
drvanon_ | auronandace, around 3 years ago | 17:05 |
Fyodorovna | fahmad, cool, I was more concerned that you got help really. :) | 17:05 |
auronandace | drvanon_: then it most likely will work fine | 17:05 |
auronandace | drvanon_: the only way to be certain is to try it | 17:06 |
drvanon_ | auronandace, how old must it be to not work? | 17:06 |
fahmad | Fyodorovna: thanks mate but the problem is still arrise and i do not find any real solution i was digging arroung on forums and googling stuff but in sain | 17:06 |

auronandace | drvanon_: if it was brand new then it might not be in the kernel yet | 17:07 |
zykotick9 | _nedR: perhaps? i don't know, certainly never something i've played with directly. only brushed up against it with other issues ;) good luck. | 17:07 |
drvanon_ | auronandace, thanks | 17:07 |
pkkid | Is it possibe that some SSD drives are just not compatible with Ubuntu 12.04? | 17:07 |
aJacom | Hi. Do I really need a vfat or fat32 partition to have files which I want to access from linux and windows? linux doesn't seem to be having trouble reading the NTFS partition | 17:08 |
oldsk00l | pkkid: yes, but unlikely | 17:08 |
auronandace | drvanon_: generally speaking though, ethernet isn't where you will have trouble (usually wireless is more a problem) | 17:08 |

auronandace | aJacom: ntfs has worked well for years | 17:09 |
aJacom | balduin: do you write to it & everything ? | 17:09 |
aJacom | auronandace: oh. ok. | 17:09 |
Fyodorovna | aJacom, using a shared partition is the most stable way to share, I use a ntfs as well. | 17:10 |
pkkid | oldsk00l: I thinkp its very likey then. Lol. I tried installing 32bit, 64bit on my SSD with all sorts of different bios settings and nothing works. The boot loader just wont install. Then I installed UBuntu on my platter drive and it works fine. So I thought if I used the platter for the boot loader and the SSD for the OS it would work. But it seems to spew 1000 errors during boot in this configuration. | 17:10 |
=== ztag100 is now known as Guest53661 | ||
oldsk00l | maybe it's grub | 17:10 |
balduin | aJacom: yes it write all things perfectly on usb-devices and on hard-disks | 17:10 |
pkkid | oldsk00l: Is it possible to use grub1 with 12.04? | 17:10 |
fahmad | anyone ? | 17:11 |
_nedR | ok, thanks for replies.. zykotick9 auronandace , got any suggestions for channels where i could possibly get more info on multiseat setups | 17:11 |
oldsk00l | if you're really hardcore try this: install to the SSD, if it doesn't boot, do grub-install /dev/sda from the livecd | 17:11 |
chump2 | It seems I may have been googling wrong. | 17:11 |
oldsk00l | chrooted | 17:11 |
oldsk00l | look for whatever error comes up | 17:11 |

oldsk00l | well, grub 1 might work but you might have issues.. you could also try lilo if you're really adventurous | 17:11 |
zykotick9 | pkkid: does you BIOS have a "virus" protection enabled (these can block MBRs from being installed - but if your on the same system, not sure why HD would work) | 17:11 |
pkkid | oldsk00l: We tried all that yesterday. It says it installs grub2 but on actual boot. Nothing is there. | 17:12 |
VirtualBlackness | yes... its very odd. | 17:12 |
oldsk00l | hmmm | 17:12 |
=== VirtualBlackness is now known as L3top | ||
oldsk00l | tried lilo? | 17:12 |
oldsk00l | I still use lilo on my Gentoo boxes ;) | 17:12 |
pkkid | zykotick9: The HD works. But I wanted that extra performance the SSD would provide. I'll try looking in the bios for virus stuff. | 17:13 |
Fyodorovna | pkkid, have you ever formatted the ssd with other then a mbr set say a gpt ? | 17:13 |
L3top | a more interesting situation... is that you cannot chroot the drive from live... | 17:13 |
pkkid | Fyodorovna: I had Windows 7 on the SSD until Friday. | 17:14 |
L3top | Something goes very wrong with the install onto the SSD | 17:14 |
fahmad | Fyodorovna: requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user "farrukh" any idea for this error | 17:14 |
Fyodorovna | pkkid, what was the formatting of the partitions with W7? | 17:14 |
pkkid | L3top: Tis morning I used update grub to add the SSD instll to the grub on the HD and it worked. It it tried to load but then it spewed errors out during boot. | 17:15 |

chump2 | in compizconfig, ImTheDude, but be careful using it. It screws things up. | 17:20 |

chump2 | lol yvw krababbel | 17:20 |
uzf | how fast can you compile the kernel? | 17:20 |
ThinkT510 | Fyodorovna: isn't gpt a partition layout system? seperate from a filesystem? | 17:21 |
uzf | not that compilation has a lot to do with drive speed, but there is a lot of file i/o | 17:21 |
Fyodorovna | pkkid, are you just auto installing on the ssd or using a format then other=custom install to make sure grub is pointed at the card? | 17:21 |
pkkid | ulkesh: Stop making me jelious. But actually maybe I should just uy a new one. What SSD are you running? | 17:21 |
chump2 | I just fiddled with it, ImTheDude. It's the one in Accessibility called Opacity, Brightness and Saturation. You can find commands on how to install compizconfig in google. | 17:22 |
L3top | Both Fyodorovna. | 17:22 |
chump2 | I can't imagine using it myself lol | 17:22 |

L3top | Sorry uzf, I don't know what you are referring to with regards to resume, or how you would switch mirrors without doing such... but was just an idea. | 17:36 |

mafatahna | i sorry.. can i ask? | 17:40 |
ulkesh | mafatahna, just ask :) | 17:40 |
gbar14275 | zykotick9: Thanks for the heads up. Just changed the /etc/hosts file as well as the /etc/hostname file. I have a feeling though that ubuntu applications are using this "device name" setting. Any idea how to change this? | 17:40 |
zykotick9 | gbar14275: no clue sorry (i'm not even sure what that is) | 17:41 |
Fyodorovna | pkkid, it looks to me if the OS in sda is all correct your missing the grub files in the OS itself, you can purge all there and reinstall grub from a purge. | 17:41 |
pkkid3 | Fyodorovna, You mean /dev/sda is missing more than the mbr? How can you tell that? | 17:41 |
FrankBullitt | zykotick9: The documentation is really poor for accomplishing this. I have removed it from init.d... Thanks | 17:42 |

bazhang | !version | danes | 17:46 |
zykotick9 | danes: terminal "lsb_release -a" | 17:46 |

bazhang | mafatahna, then install lubuntu-desktop only | 17:48 |
mafatahna | giles : can do it? | 17:48 |
giles | mafatahna: sorry, I didn't realise that's what you wanted. | 17:48 |
zykotick9 | melodie_: the ugly method i use is "lspci -vnvn" in terminal, find the VGA section, then the 'kernel driver is use' line | 17:48 |
zykotick9 | melodie_: you can also check Xorg log file as an alternative | 17:49 |
mafatahna | bazhag : i try install lubuntu-desktop now on my PC... just minutes | 17:49 |

uzf | fresh install isn't an option for any business system most of the time | 17:57 |
pkkid3 | Fyodorovna, Last question: I bought these SSDs back in May 2010 and had Win7 installed on them. Do you think these symptoms may be the cause of overuse? IE: The drive is failing. | 17:57 |

uzf | neither is spending time backing up everything | 17:57 |
uzf | I like ubuntu too much | 17:57 |
Fyodorovna | pkkid, anything is possible but ssd's are now equal in working and failing as a regular HD basically. | 17:58 |
ulkesh | uzf, sadly that's why most businesses never upgrade...where i work, there's so many systems still on WinXP simply due to internal support | 17:58 |

MerlynKorr | *partitioning | 18:17 |
graytron | wylde: another problem is that I want to use the hardware on the client to run the software, not the server's hardware. Just don't want to install the HD in the client. | 18:17 |
Delemas | bravery, I have a regular US Logitech Access 600 Keyboard. I've try several different keyboard options and they all still have the strange ' key behaviour. What am I missing? | 18:17 |
Fyodorovna | holas, your HD that full? | 18:17 |
pkkid | Fyodorovna: Installing to sdb worked fine!! WTF. | 18:17 |

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. | 18:19 |
bravery | hdpb, run your audio application and see the application tab on the sound menu and see whether it works or not. | 18:19 |
wylde | graytron: ahh I see, so you actually want a "fat" client. I suppose you could manage that if you can load the entire OS into ram. IIRC there is an option in the lts.conf file for using local devices. | 18:19 |
MerlynKorr | then expand the partiton or delete it when youre sure of what it will do... | 18:19 |
graytron | wylde: exactly :) | 18:19 |
holas | Really I don't get way a app-bar has evolution as a dependency | 18:19 |
holas | why | 18:20 |
Fyodorovna | WilsonBradley, you have any other desktops like gnome 3 that work? | 18:20 |
MerlynKorr | then install as you ordinarially would. | 18:20 |
WilsonBradley | yes, when I log in to Gnome 2D it works | 18:20 |
pkkid | L3top: Did you see that. Installing to sdb SSD is working fine. | 18:20 |
Fyodorovna | WilsonBradley, gnome 2d meaning the unity 2d? | 18:21 |
wylde | graytron: my thin client doesn't have enough ram to do that or that's how I would have set it up too. :) It's basically just there for looking up in for whatever project is getting played with out there anyway. | 18:21 |
WilsonBradley | yes s, soirry | 18:21 |

WilsonBradley | and havent changed that | 18:21 |
graytron | wylde: I will investigate the LTSP alternative later, thanks for help. For now I'll just do the base install to the client's HD and then copy everything to the NFS share and tweak with TFTP and initramfstools to make booting work through tftp | 18:22 |
BrixMix | Hello, im on 12.04 and suddenly my pc has no sound-devices :S | 18:22 |

WilsonBradley | I never changed the video driver | 18:22 |
bravery | holas, what u meant? | 18:22 |
wylde | graytron: alrighty, good luck with it :) | 18:22 |
Delemas | bravery, I set it explicitly to a Logitech Access Keyboard using Keyboard settings (English US, alternative international) but accent entry mode on ´ key persists.... | 18:23 |

kapz | dj_segfault, when i insert live cd the only options are try install, I also get this missing prefix error before grub boots | 18:48 |

ubottu | liniben: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead. See also « /msg ubottu Guidelines » | 19:28 |
vinhdizzo | guntbert: thanks | 19:28 |
MerlynKorr | ok its cool and good luck | 19:28 |
MirkoKa | grnt: in case of boot failures, the initrd starts BB to provide a minimal system. therefore BB is needed also everytime you update the kernel/initrd | 19:28 |

grnt | MirkoKa: Thx! OerHeks: installed from Alternative CD. It came | 19:29 |
MerlynKorr | r4y that would be in system settings under windows. | 19:29 |

MerlynKorr | dern im not sure sorry... | 19:30 |
OerHeks | grnt, my bad, confused with openbox | 19:30 |
Haffe | Ok. I want to use tar to compress all files in my directory, excluding all hidden directories. | 19:30 |
grnt | At least it's presence makes sense now. I thought it's only for embedded devices | 19:31 |

r4y | High Contrast Inverse is the closest to what I want, but dark is the color for the menu background even though I picked black. | 19:33 |
MirkoKa | Haffe: just give the dierctory instead of the inividual files as the "file list". ie "tar -cvf test.tar the_directory" | 19:33 |
r4y | I meant dark blue | 19:33 |

Ethyne | Does rhythmbox have an EQ? | 19:34 |
aguitel | anyway to install amsn in 12.04? | 19:34 |
grnt | Btw. I'm sitting here currently from tty, learning ins and outs of system's core. Another thing which confuses me is why "ed" is still included? There's sed for piping, nano and vi for convinient editing | 19:34 |
emdub | i have a script that is running as a post install script and it seems as though the start-stop-daemon file is the "fake" one even in post install... not sure why that is though | 19:34 |
MerlynKorr | r4y did you access the system settings menu to get the colors adjusted ? | 19:34 |
MirkoKa | grnt: required by posix | 19:35 |
OerHeks | Haffe Use the -C switch of tar: tar -czvf <name_it>.tar.gz -C my_directory . The -C my_directory tells tar to change the current directory to my_directory, and "." = (including hidden files and sub-directories). | 19:35 |
xangua | aguitel: since it is no longer in the repository you can search a PPA or download it directly from amsn's web | 19:35 |
grnt | MirkoKa: "required" in what way, standard? | 19:35 |
Haffe | OerHeks: Thanks. | 19:36 |
Haffe | OerHeks: I found a solution involving exclude | 19:36 |

r4y | But not the way I wanted. I should just find a tutorial. | 19:41 |

Jordan_U | mikubuntu: Why did you upgrade to 10.10 rather than 12.04? | 19:55 |

BrixMix | ok MerlynKorr what? | 19:57 |
aguitel | ismarc_netbook, ok | 19:57 |

Jordan_U | mikubuntu: You're fine, ext4 is designed to take hard resets without data loss. | 20:07 |
MirkoKa | jtf: right-click panel -> add to panel -> add launcher? if a menu entry, right-click the entry and choose "add a launcher to panel" (don't tell me I'm talking to the wrong person again) ;-) | 20:08 |
cromag | repost: I seem to have a sound issue - i have no sound options available in the Settings menu, after removing PulseAudio - Alsa-base is installed and i do hear sound when i log off, not when i start the PC - where should i start looking ? - I removed pulse because i have issues with xbmc-linux. | 20:08 |
grnt | blkid is less verbose and fits the task better if you need just disks. It will also give you needed UUIDs for fstab / mtab | 20:08 |
cromag | I can add, i just upgraded to 12.04 | 20:08 |
BrixMix | MerlynKorr: none :/ (is that a package? ) | 20:08 |
tjf | MirkoKa: i said that right clicking on it didn't do anything | 20:08 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: which recovery mode? showing linux 2.6.35-32-generic (recovery mode) and also 32-41-generic (recovery mode) | 20:09 |
BrixMix | MerlynKorr: it is enabled restricted drivers in synaptic | 20:09 |
std0s | box - df will sho you dsk usge | 20:09 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: The newest version (the highest revovery mode entry in the list). | 20:09 |
geck00 | MirkoKa, all good :) | 20:09 |
MerlynKorr | in the main menu after acessing the ubuntu software center it will lst several applications...right there too | 20:09 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: do you mean highest number or highest position on list? | 20:10 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: Both, as they should be the same unless you have more than one Ubuntu installation. | 20:11 |
MirkoKa | tjf: there really should show up a menu if you right-click in the panel. what *buntu version? | 20:11 |

maxflax | Hi, strange thing.. Im using smbmount to mount a network disc, accessing files works but I get access denied when trying to move files or renaming them etc. If I type sudo I can do these commands but thats not how I want it to work | 20:11 |
MerlynKorr | brixmix did you try to install them, and if so try to reinstall them | 20:11 |
tjf | MirkoKa: 12.04 | 20:11 |
spikebike | Ah, ubuntu has default sticky edges | 20:11 |
pratz | hey guys what is the best audio and video compressor for linux ?? | 20:11 |
spikebike | Seems like ubuntu is getting more and more antognistic towards multiple monitors | 20:11 |
maxflax | pratz: Handbrake | 20:12 |
spikebike | +1 for handbrake | 20:12 |
jrski | 12.04lts is here! But I rock ubuntuStudio. Update manager offers an upgrade, but I'm afraid it will be the desktop version. How can I be sure I don't get 'Unity'd'? | 20:12 |
MirkoKa | tjf: you said gnome classic, are you sure you mean that? i can't help yet with 12.04 until next week | 20:12 |
spikebike | althought the PPA for 12.04 hasn't been updates | 20:12 |
joemppe | I'm trying to configure Ubuntu to have several VM guests as well as physical machines (connected via an extra NIC) in a NAT behind one external IP, and more VMs in another NAT behind another external IP. Any pointers? | 20:12 |
grnt | pratz: ffmpeg all the way | 20:13 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: linux 2.6.35-32-generic (recovery mode) OR 32-41-generic (recovery mode) is 35-32 the highest? | 20:13 |
jrib | spikebike: I think they're working on it, see: http://design.canonical.com/2011/12/improving-the-multi-monitor-experience-in-ubuntu/ | 20:13 |
tjf | i'm using gnome-panel | 20:13 |
Buduk | so anyone care to comment on my pam issue ? | 20:13 |
spikebike | jrib: sounds awesome, checking | 20:13 |
escott | mikubuntu, 35-32 is newer than 32-41 | 20:13 |
aaas | is there some program that has a running display of various computer logs: apache, syslong, access, etc or do peope just tail -f the files and display it on their backgrounds still | 20:13 |
spikebike | (reading rather) | 20:13 |
BrixMix | MerlynKorr: reinstalled | 20:13 |
pratz | maxflax: grnt but guys i want to compress , say 100 audio and video at once | 20:14 |
pratz | maxflax: grnt can that be done ?? | 20:14 |
neurochrome | aaas, log file viewer? | 20:14 |
pratz | maxflax: if i have a video of 700mb after compression what will be the size ?? | 20:14 |
MerlynKorr | good...i too am having trouble with these drivers brixmix | 20:14 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: "2.6.35-32-generic (recovery mode)" is higher than "linux 2.6.32-41-generic (recovery mode)". | 20:14 |
BrixMix | :) | 20:14 |
grnt | pratz: ffmpeg is a command-line tool. it perfectly fits your task | 20:14 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: Earlier numbers take precidence. | 20:14 |
MerlynKorr | i hope they get 12.10 and quick brixmix. | 20:15 |
munim | joemppe, that sounds interesting.. i dont have any pointers apart from tinkering with virtualization software.. what exactly are you going to use the setup for? | 20:15 |
MerlynKorr | ansd all of you. | 20:15 |
aaas | neurochrome yes something that displays a continusous display of important logs so admins(users) can see if somethign starnge pops up | 20:15 |
BrixMix | MerlynKorr: why 12.10? | 20:15 |
jrski | @pratz you need a batching program? Like to compress your entire library of MP3s and Videos? | 20:15 |
maxflax | pratz: depends how you set it up - u can get what size u like but the quality may suffer from it. | 20:15 |
pratz | grnt: if i have 700mb what will be the size of compressed file ?? | 20:15 |
neurochrome | aaas, yeah, that was the name of the app | 20:15 |
MerlynKorr | because .04 is not lts. b rixmix | 20:15 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: ok, thats what i thought, but i'm just stupid enough to make sure .. so, what to do when i select the recovery mode? | 20:15 |
BrixMix | MerlynKorr: 12.04 is lts | 20:16 |
neurochrome | MerlynKorr, 12.04 is LTS | 20:16 |
joemppe | munim, I'm trying to have my workstation and some VMs behind one IP, and more VMs behind another | 20:16 |
ThinkT510 | MerlynKorr: 10.04 and 12.04 are lts | 20:16 |
joemppe | mostly because I need to run two different httpds on port 80 | 20:16 |
grnt | pratz: choose x264 video codec and the size should go down a lot even with default preset. Provided the initial file isn't compressed already | 20:16 |
MerlynKorr | not usually im told.... yet regardless they need to debug. | 20:16 |
MirkoKa | aaas: gnome-system-log or xtail | 20:16 |
BrixMix | i dont hav esound yet :S | 20:16 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: Can you be on IRC from another computer while you boot into recovery mode? | 20:16 |
neurochrome | MerlynKorr, what? You're wrong/misinformed | 20:16 |
MerlynKorr | and mine has this strange echo effect. | 20:16 |
mikubuntu | yes, i'm on a borrowed laptop right now right next to it | 20:17 |
freebird | you guys, I've a hp mini 210-1000, I want my resolution to go to 1024x600, but it's only going to 800x600, my graphic card is: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:a011] | 20:17 |
neurochrome | MerlynKorr, who 'told' you? | 20:17 |
joemppe | I only get two IPs :( | 20:17 |
aaas | ok cool thanks neurochrome MirkoKa | 20:17 |
MerlynKorr | the book for 8.10 | 20:17 |
Logan_ | tjf: Alt + Super + Right Click | 20:17 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: i'm on a borrowed laptop right next to it | 20:17 |
Jordan_U | BrixMix: Did you really mean "esound" as in the Enlightenment Sound Daemon (which you do *not* want)? | 20:17 |
neurochrome | aaas, no sweat | 20:17 |
freebird | how should I proceed | 20:17 |
munim | joemppe, ah.. so you have one machine with two NICs for 2 IP addresses? | 20:17 |
osse | My keyboard layout was autodected during the installation of 12.04, and I checked that it worked. After installation my layout is apparently English. In Keyboard Layouts it still says that it's Norwegian. 'setxkbmap no' in the termina; fixes it but it isn\t presistent. What can be wrong_ | 20:17 |
aguitel | ismarc_netbook, i make you tip but when i boot only symbols i read in boot process | 20:17 |
BrixMix | Jordan_U: i need sound any sound at all | 20:17 |
neurochrome | MerlynKorr, well it's wrong. 8.04 = LTS, 10.04 = LTS, 12.04 = LTS | 20:18 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: from recovery mode it went back to a black screen after a few seconds of terminal output | 20:18 |
BrixMix | Jordan_U: not esound :p | 20:18 |
joemppe | munim, nah. I have one NIC with two external IPs and one NIC that's connected to a switch for the internal network | 20:18 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: Confirm that booting into recovery mode gets you to the recovery menu, and from there choose the option to drop to a terminal and we'll go from there. | 20:18 |
MerlynKorr | i stand corrected. | 20:18 |
ismarc_netbook | aguitel: It doesn't print out a bunch of text listing what it's doing? | 20:18 |
freebird | please, can someone give me a light ?? | 20:18 |
freebird | please | 20:18 |
neurochrome | MerlynKorr, so, what is this 'echo effect' | 20:18 |
aguitel | ismarc_netbook, i cannot read nothing | 20:18 |

Logan_ | !please | freebird | 20:19 |
ubottu | freebird: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 20:19 |
neurochrome | freebird, install the drivers? | 20:19 |
MerlynKorr | the songs are having trouble witht the internet interface thats probably all. | 20:19 |
MerlynKorr | so theres an echo. | 20:19 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: it does, but it just did some output that stayed up for few seconds (15 secs maybe) and then went black -- looks like i would have to get a term command in fast | 20:19 |
MerlynKorr | beat the clock hunh? | 20:20 |
freebird | neurochrome, they are already installed I guess, I think it's only a matter of adding a line to xorg.conf, not sure | 20:20 |

adrian15 | MirkoKa: I know that they differ. Maybe someone knows... from 8.04 to 09.10 the same file. from 9.10 to 11.04 another one and so on. That's the kind of expert I was asking for. | 20:28 |
adrian15 | Jordan_U: You have deleted /etc/sudoers file. I rewrite it for you. | 20:29 |

MirkoKa | Jordan_U: on 10.04 it's the "sudo", not the "admin" group | 20:29 |

Jordan_U | adrian15: No. I'm saying that you should find the .deb on their system and extract the /etc/sudoers from that .deb file. | 20:33 |
neurochrome | freebird, if ubuntu hasn't detected and loaded the correct driver, then you may need to install it manually. I couldn't tell you where/how to do that though. I'd perhaps try to autogen a xorg and then add the resolution you want in manually http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/sdeg/xorg_video_sizes.htm | 20:33 |
grnt | DelGs: your wireless seems to be recognised but not configured | 20:33 |
adrian15 | MirkoKa: Yes, once you have recovered the stock sudoers, the user has to be either in the admin group or in the sudo group. That's not difficult to know once you take a look at the package. But... where to find the package? | 20:33 |
BrixMix | MerlynKorr: expletives? | 20:33 |
DelGs | grnt, there is a guide on how to setup but i cant understand it , do you mind if i give it to you so you can explain me | 20:34 |

Jordan_U | adrian15: Is a broken /etc/sudoers a common enough problem that this is a feature worth having? The more common problem that prevents sudo from working is a mismatch between /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts. | 20:35 |
MerlynKorr | i gotta git. | 20:35 |
Jordan_U | !hostname | adrian15 | 20:35 |
ubottu | adrian15: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 20:35 |
BrixMix | MerlynKorr: ok that is your call :) | 20:35 |

Stereocaulon | guakkione, fsck (linux) can be compared to the function of chkdisk (DOS/ Windows) | 20:38 |
krababbel | FabioS: I think in the repository is an old versio 0.93. On their webpage in download section you can see how to add a PPA for the 1.0 release. Will be 1.0.2 tomorrow maybe. | 20:38 |
DaZ | FabioS: i asked you to plug it back inm and then dmesg <: but it looks like it's working | 20:38 |
neurochrome | which is what I want to fix... it's stoooooopid | 20:38 |
troulouliou_dev | neurochrome, i have removed the top pannel i m using gnome2 with one bottom panel like in windows xp style | 20:38 |
krababbel | FabioS: 0.9 is quite old | 20:38 |
Jordan_U | adrian15: But /etc/sudoers is an important file, and I can't think of a single example of a user having edited it themselves and breaking sudo (and I've been helping in this channel a lot). If a non-working /etc/sudoers is extremely rare then it may not make sense to make an option to replace /etc/sudoers, especially if a bug in replacement could cause *more* problems. | 20:38 |
guakkione | escott, Stereocaulon: Ok got it... so, what do you think I can remove to free some space? I can't even start Xserver, now i'm with irssi in the shell! o.O | 20:38 |
neurochrome | troulouliou_dev, what ubuntu version? | 20:38 |
grnt | DelGs: this is what second command returned? | 20:38 |
troulouliou_dev | neurochrome, 12.04 | 20:38 |
escott | guakkione, if you have a large amount of data in lost+found thats actually a really bad thing, because those files should be somewhere else | 20:39 |
neurochrome | gnome2? are you sure? | 20:39 |
DelGs | yes | 20:39 |

Stereocaulon | guakkione, unless you are a dev or if you are missing some crucial data, you can safely delete it | 20:39 |
adrian15 | Jordan_U: Well, the option will make a backup before modifying the file | 20:39 |
neurochrome | troulouliou_dev, do you mean mate? | 20:39 |

FabioS | could you help me doing that? I know we can do that but I never tried it | 20:39 |
grnt | DelGs: i can't follow your link now because I'm not in any GUI at the moment, I'm sitting in plain console. Can you make a short link so that it would be possible for me to type it? | 20:40 |
neurochrome | troulouliou_dev, that is not gnome2 fyi | 20:40 |

Jordan_U | adrian15: And your GUI will inform the user about this backup and tell them how to manually restore the backup if needed? | 20:40 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: yes, first i get some full page terminal output, then after few seconds goes black -- i don't know if i have time to input some command to the prompt before it goes black | 20:41 |
grnt | DelGs: went there, reading | 20:41 |

FabioS | DaZ: just a moment then | 20:42 |

=== Piercy is now known as Thundar | ||
grnt | MirkoKa: ok, I'll try | 20:43 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: Reboot again holding shift, then go to the normal entry and press 'e' to edit it. You'll see a line ending in "quiet splash", remove those two words and put "nomodeset" in their place. Then press F10 (or ctrl+x) to boot the modified entry. | 20:43 |
grnt | DelGs: issue lsmod please | 20:43 |
FabioS | DaZ: mount: special device /dev/sdd1 does not exist | 20:43 |
DelGs | grnt: you want me to send you what it returned? | 20:43 |

grnt | DelGs: better, lsmod | grep b43 | 20:44 |
DaZ | FabioS: try with sde1 then :f | 20:44 |
troulouliou_dev | neurochrome, worked thanks | 20:44 |
uzf | 12.04 crashes like crazy :/ Was watching vids on youtube and it died | 20:44 |
neurochrome | troulouliou_dev, no worries | 20:44 |
uzf | other than that, no problems so far | 20:44 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: when you say 'normal' entry do you mean NOT the recovery mode? | 20:44 |
neurochrome | freebird, that article I linked will give you a better understanding. You might also want to read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 20:44 |
krababbel | FabioS: I can't believe your camera has no mass storage mode. Never had such a model though. | 20:44 |
uzf | 3dfx works great, no problems with lightdm | 20:44 |

RichardRaseley | I am running Ubuntu 12.04 (64 Bit) on a MacBook Pro (6,2). Everything works except that the function keys are permanently toggled on and so to actually use "F5" I have to fn+F5 (otherwise it is decrease keyboard backlight brightness). Any ideas how to switch this around? | 20:45 |
krababbel | FabioS: in my camera I can switch between PTP and PC mode. | 20:45 |
DelGs | grnt: http://pastebin.com/nTw6LMdx | 20:45 |
FabioS | DaZ. same result | 20:45 |
uzf | probably because of flash | 20:45 |
Stereocaulon | RichardRaseley, that is the default behaviour on a Mac. | 20:45 |
RichardRaseley | Sterocauion: Oh, I have never had one before (and the first thing I did was format and install Ubuntu on it) so I wasn't aware. | 20:46 |
FabioS | krababbel: I know about that but the thing is that I can't find does properties in mine | 20:46 |
uzf | I sent the crash report, no idea, it happened one time | 20:46 |
sloshmud | New question by Fist time in this channel. I purchased "Family Farm" game back in natty via the Software centre and I wish to reinstall (not update). I fear that there is no record of my purchase besides the actual installation as I don't recall having had to sign up with ubuntu one when I made my purchase. Is there a way in which I can reinstall without having to pay for this game again? | 20:46 |
RichardRaseley | Stereocaution: Is there any way that you know of to reverse that? | 20:46 |
uzf | nexuiz plays fine, although it wiped out my mouse settings | 20:46 |
DelGs | grnt: recievede it? | 20:46 |
Stereocaulon | RichardRaseley++ lol | 20:46 |
FabioS | I searched but no results and I do lots of stuff with pictures | 20:46 |
MirkoKa | Thundar: AFAIK not possible yet. Unity comes with its own compositing window manager. i saw a blog some month ago about fedora+gnome-shell+compiz, maybe that can be adjusted to unity too | 20:46 |
FabioS | so I'm stuck now | 20:46 |
uzf | I can't seem to find new backgrounds to use in the software center though :/ | 20:47 |
grnt | DelGs: yeah, you can see that the kernel module is actually loaded | 20:47 |
Thundar | MirkoKa: Thanks! | 20:47 |
uzf | or themese | 20:47 |
DelGs | grnt: what should i do ? do you know anything could help? | 20:47 |
DaZ | FabioS: tell me if it was 16gb big and paste new dmesg :x | 20:47 |
grnt | DelGs: b43 365785 on the second line | 20:47 |
Stereocaulon | RichardRaseley, you are not the first to use a MBP to run Ubuntu, so there should be some forum that already describes howto do this. | 20:47 |
uzf | I'm so glad I am on 12.04 finally, without any real hassle at all, no dist-upgrade problems (for an experienced user) | 20:47 |

foobArrr | I upgraded to 12.04, now I have 3 problems: 1) X constantly is using the CPU a lot, 20% to 25%", with short spikes to 100%. I've not seen the CPU usage meter (for all cores) fall below 10% after the upgrade, I had 0% to 2% when idle before. 2) Hibernate button disappeared. I followed http://askubuntu.com/questions/94754/how-to-enable-hibernation-in-12-04 and got it back, but hibernate isn't working anymore. Black screen, PC never shuts down. 3) I got | 21:08 |
foobArrr | an ugly background image (space, planet, "debian") in the grub menu that wasn't there before. | 21:08 |
pzn | I'm upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04. graphical screen was "lost"... I can't switch windows anymore, I can't see "taskbar", I can't press alt+f4 to close current window and see upgrade manager that is below it. what to do? | 21:08 |
rfictus | Stereocaulon: it's built in on the motherboard | 21:08 |
Stereocaulon | rfictus, so it's a laptop? | 21:08 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: there are two similar lines the first is GRUB CMDLINE LINUX DEFAULT = quiet splash, and below that GRUB CMDLINE LINUX = "" | 21:08 |
rfictus | Stereocaulon: yes | 21:09 |
THEJUICEBOX | ThinkT510: the format isn't supported | 21:09 |
DelGs | grnt: done i extracted | 21:09 |
rfictus | Stereocaulon: was working fine in 11.10 | 21:09 |
sfears | pzn: alt+tab does anything happen? | 21:09 |
Stereocaulon | rfictus, does it show amongst the list you get from lsusb? | 21:09 |
ThinkT510 | THEJUICEBOX: format? | 21:09 |
rfictus | but not in 12.04 | 21:09 |
kenperkins | basically this issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1256801 | 21:09 |
Womkes | If you have the latest beta installed for UBuntu 12.04 can you simply upgrade or do you have to reinstall it with the full release version? | 21:09 |
rfictus | Stereocaulon: is that a linux command ?? | 21:09 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: You want to change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, not GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT | 21:09 |
rfictus | Stereocaulon: please share | 21:09 |
zykotick9 | !final | Womkes | 21:09 |
ubottu | Womkes: 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. | 21:09 |
grnt | DelGs: then issue ls and check if broadcom-wl-... directory is here | 21:09 |
Stereocaulon | rfictus, yes, that is a terminal command | 21:09 |
DelGs | grnt: just to make sure the file i compiled(make) is in one folder and the extracted folder is one folder up ( ../) | 21:09 |
MirkoKa | kenperkins: see /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf but you probably better change your cron job to not output meaningless info | 21:09 |
pzn | sfears, no, alt-tab does not work... keyboard seems to be "up", because capslock led works | 21:10 |
rfictus | Stereocaulon: plz tell | 21:10 |
Stereocaulon | !lsusb | rfictus | 21:10 |
THEJUICEBOX | ThinkT510: tar.gz is the format | 21:10 |
sfears | what about ctrl+alt+f1 | 21:10 |
sfears | pzn | 21:10 |
rfictus | !lsusb | 21:10 |
Womkes | ok thanks | 21:10 |
ThinkT510 | THEJUICEBOX: you want the .deb | 21:10 |
Stereocaulon | rfictus, lsusb show a list of USB devices | 21:10 |
DelGs | grnt: yes it is | 21:10 |
kenperkins | MirkoKa: It's not the cronjob that's outputting. it's the session being opened and closed | 21:10 |
grnt | DelGs: the extracted folder must be near cutter executable | 21:10 |
DelGs | grnt: yeah just checked it is like that | 21:10 |
kenperkins | regardless, that line fixed it | 21:10 |
rfictus | Stereocaulon: ah rite, but it is not a usb device | 21:10 |
guakkione | Command to view the size of a folder? | 21:10 |
magicJ | grnt: I do have another router and it does the same. I also can not imagine how if it was the router thar re-booting the computer - or even manually telling it to re-connect would work, can you | 21:11 |
DelGs | grnt: the executable file and the broadcom folder are in same directory | 21:11 |
pzn | sfears, now I can see "gedit" that was opened. it got maximized, it does not have icons to close, minimize, maximize. ctrl-alt-f1 and crtl-alt-f7 works | 21:11 |
rfictus | Stereocaulon: just want to be able to speak to ppl | 21:11 |
zykotick9 | Jordan_U: i use GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= for all my kernel settings. mikubuntu | 21:11 |
grnt | DelGs: ok, now just issue next 2 commands, copy paste them from page. See them? | 21:11 |
guntbert | guakkione: du -s <folder> | 21:11 |
grnt | DelGs: copy-paste and issue them one-by-one | 21:11 |
DelGs | grnt: but wich 2 commands | 21:11 |
sfears | can you run commands from alt+f2 pzn? | 21:11 |
grnt | DelGs: Where it says "Extract the firmware" | 21:11 |
anternat | ty zykotick9 | 21:11 |
Stereocaulon | rfictus, try amixer (from terminal) and look if the microphone level is down or even switched off. | 21:11 |
pzn | sfears yes, I can run. | 21:11 |
grnt | DelGs: see it? | 21:11 |
cromag | can i somehow reinstall everthing that has to do with my sound ? | 21:11 |
rfictus | Stereocaulon: my laptop is just not picking up any sound | 21:11 |
DelGs | grnt: the last 2 commands? | 21:11 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: ok, i don't know how to save and exit nano | 21:11 |
Jordan_U | zykotick9: Options there won't apply to the recovery mode entry, and mikubuntu really needs "nomodeset" as a kernel parameter if they're going to get anywhere even with the recovery mode entry. | 21:12 |
sfears | alt+f2 pzn killall gedit | 21:12 |
THEJUICEBOX | ThinkT510: no the tar.gz format i wantr | 21:12 |
grnt | DelGs: they aren't very last in that guide. First one starts with "export" | 21:12 |
zykotick9 | Jordan_U: ok. | 21:12 |
ThinkT510 | THEJUICEBOX: why? | 21:12 |
mikubuntu | also says to run update-grub afterwards | 21:12 |
rfictus | Stereocaulon: hmm, where should i be looking at exactly ? | 21:12 |
DelGs | grnt: sudo .. and cd ..? | 21:13 |
pzn | sfears, I'm killing every app that I don't need | 21:13 |
grnt | DelGs: export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware" | 21:13 |
sfears | the menus are gone on all the windwos pzn? | 21:13 |
THEJUICEBOX | ThinkT510: that's the format my os works with | 21:13 |
Stereocaulon | rfictus, did the amixer program start at all? If so, the microphone level is usually on the far left side | 21:13 |
ThinkT510 | THEJUICEBOX: are you using ubuntu? | 21:13 |
=== nicholas is now known as Tetracomm-12 | ||
grnt | DelGs: and then sudo line | 21:13 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: ctrl+o to save, then hit enter to confirm the filename, then ctrl+x to exit. | 21:13 |
falsion | hey, i have a script that works in gawk but when I run it in ubuntu with mawk it does not work. http://hastebin.com/celaxilemi.pl what gives? | 21:13 |
MirkoKa | kenperkins: that's probably related to PAM, don't know how to control its logging behaviour | 21:13 |
falsion | apparently length() is not supported? | 21:13 |
aaas | what is the name of that program that is like top for the xserver | 21:14 |
pzn | sfears, yes, menus are gone, and also icons to minimize,max,close are gone. | 21:14 |
=== panglin is now known as pangolin | ||
rfictus | <Stereocaulon> plz check private msg | 21:14 |
MirkoKa | aaas: gnome-system-monitor | 21:14 |
Tetracomm-12 | Hello. | 21:14 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: ok, back to prompt -- do i have to 'update grub' ? | 21:14 |
grnt | DelGs: got it? | 21:14 |
pzn | sfears, now I can see the updatemanager app... | 21:14 |
Tetracomm-12 | I have been trying to set up the Hauppauge HVR-850 TV tuner adapter, and so far dmesg says: http://pastebin.com/E33Z6YDC | 21:14 |
sfears | pzn: turn off desktop effects, you may have a window manager conflict | 21:14 |
Tetracomm-12 | Help? | 21:14 |
pangolin__ | hello do anybody know how much / size does pangoling take ? | 21:15 |
DelGs | grnt: yes. it extracted lot of stuff now what | 21:15 |
falsion | also is this the right channel to ask awk related questions? i don't know where to go! | 21:15 |
aaas | MirkoKa no i mean it is a top program for all xrelated programs | 21:15 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: Yes. Run "sudo update-grub". | 21:15 |
zykotick9 | mikubuntu: you need to run "sudo update-grub" after making any changes to grub settings to apply them | 21:15 |
sw0rdfish | why does it get stuck for a minute saying "Waiting for network configuration" while booting? (12.04) | 21:15 |
aaas | MirkoKa runs in the terminal | 21:15 |
grnt | DelGs: now check again, find /lib/firmware | grep wl_aps | 21:15 |
pangolin__ | i did a minimal install include unity. its size 1.8 gb i want to compare | 21:15 |
kenperkins | MirkoKa: I got it covered | 21:15 |
sw0rdfish | and wifi doesn't even work. | 21:15 |
pzn | sfears, how to do it? alt-f2 did not work. I had to use ctrl+alt+f1 tty1 to kill gedit | 21:15 |
pzn | sfears, I mean, how to turn off effects from tty1? | 21:16 |
Eckoz | vesamenu.c32: Not a COM32R image Error, Someone can help me if this problem ? | 21:16 |
ThinkT510 | pangolin__: when i installed 12.04 fresh it was just under 5gb | 21:16 |
CellTech | /dev/video0/ I'm in synaptic. What v4l's should I instal | 21:16 |
sfears | i'm not sure how to do it from tty pzn | 21:16 |
DelGs | it still returns nothing | 21:17 |
DelGs | grnt: it still returns nothing | 21:17 |
zykotick9 | pangolin__: my mini+gnome-fallback+lightdm+synaptic is up to 2.6GB | 21:17 |
sfears | maybe boot with the nomodeset option pzn? | 21:17 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: ok, ran update | 21:17 |
sirriffsalot_ | *cough* I am at a ubuntu distribution and am having trouble finding out how to adjust the headphones volume alone... Anyone? :$ | 21:17 |
pzn | sfears, can I reboot in the middle of 11.10->12.04 upgrade? is this safe? | 21:17 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: OK. What is the output of "service gdm status"? | 21:18 |
grnt | DelGs: try find /lib/firmware | grep b43 | 21:18 |
sirriffsalot_ | pzn: no;) | 21:18 |
sw0rdfish | pzn how can you imagine it to be safe, bro? | 21:18 |
pangolin__ | ThinkT510: , zykotick9 : thanks it seems i got a good size with minimal install i think. But I have to install some little packages | 21:18 |
ThinkT510 | pzn: obviously not | 21:18 |
sw0rdfish | why does it get stuck for a minute saying "Waiting for network configuration" while booting? (12.04) | 21:18 |
sw0rdfish | and wifi doesn't even work. | 21:18 |
THEJUICEBOX | ThinkT510: yes i am | 21:18 |
sirriffsalot_ | pzn: why would you want to do that anyway? | 21:18 |
sw0rdfish | and I only haz wifi internet :( | 21:18 |
ThinkT510 | THEJUICEBOX: then you want the .deb | 21:18 |
DelGs | grnt: yes , it returned a lot of files | 21:18 |
MirkoKa | aaas: since you said "top" do you mean a task manager, window lister, etc? | 21:18 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: so you mean enter 'service gdm status' into term? | 21:18 |
platius | what is the last non pae 32bit ubuntu release? | 21:18 |
grnt | DelGs: gimme a sec | 21:18 |
DelGs | grnt: I LOVE YOU | 21:18 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: Yes. | 21:18 |
DelGs | grnt: IT WORKED | 21:18 |
DelGs | grnt :) | 21:19 |
Propuls1on | Is it possible to open a program always on a certain worksheet? | 21:19 |
freebird | you guys, ubuntu uses gdm ? | 21:19 |
aaas | MirkoKa no like the 'top' command except the only difference is that it shows xserver/xorg related processes and not the entire system | 21:19 |
DelGs | lemme relog on wifi now | 21:19 |
THEJUICEBOX | ThinkT510: oh i think what Ubuntu uses the tar.gz format | 21:19 |
ThinkT510 | freebird: from 11.10 onwards lightdm is default | 21:19 |
aaas | oh this is going to drive me up the wall | 21:19 |
pzn | I lost control of window manager in the middle of 11.10->12.04 upgrade? maybe conflict with visual effects... now I don't have window menus and window icons (minimize/maximize/close) are gone. how can I proceed? upgrade is still running | 21:19 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: gdm start/running, process 1143 | 21:19 |
ThinkT510 | THEJUICEBOX: no, it uses .deb | 21:19 |
grnt | DelGs: lol | 21:19 |
freebird | ThinkT510, do you know the name of the process ? | 21:19 |
Lolostudio | Hello! I got some problems since I upgraded to the 12.04 version...now I'm disconnected from my session almost everytime I open a music or video file, or a web page with too many flash modules, ...I'm guessing the x server is crashing cause when I'm redirected to the session selection page, i have the same short black screen than when I'm re-launching the x-serv. I've tried to switch between the 2 drivers nvidia is g | 21:19 |
Eckoz | vesamenu.c32: Not a COM32R image Error, Someone can help me if this error ? | 21:20 |
ThinkT510 | THEJUICEBOX: tar.gz is just a tarball archive | 21:20 |
THEJUICEBOX | ThinkT510: oh so how do i get that for opera | 21:20 |
ThinkT510 | freebird: lightdm | 21:20 |
guntbert | !software | THEJUICEBOX | 21:20 |
ubottu | THEJUICEBOX: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents | 21:20 |
grnt | DelGs: It seems it picked up firmware on it's own. I thought we would need to reload kernel module | 21:20 |
MirkoKa | aaas: hmm, I only know gpe-taskmanager but it's rather uncommon. | 21:20 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: OK. Try running "sudo service gdm restart". | 21:21 |
developer215 | Lolostudio, have you the latest nvidia drivers? I use the ones in the repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates | 21:21 |
ThinkT510 | THEJUICEBOX: have you been to the opera site? it is very easy, look at the dropdown boxes | 21:21 |
DelG | grnt: hello , can you see this? | 21:21 |
pangolin__ | have nice day : ) thanks again | 21:21 |
aaas | MirkoKa this was a single command that was something like 'xshtop' something like that i remember it being a command that sounded strange | 21:21 |
DelG | grnt: The wireless is working now thank you so much. | 21:21 |
grnt | DelGs: btw, what is your dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-firmware-nonfree | 21:21 |
DelG | grnt: i'm not DelGs anymore is DelG now | 21:22 |
The_Loko | foobArrrit's your cpu compatible? The "ugly" grub appear when you use some grub editors. | 21:22 |
THEJUICEBOX | ThinkT510: oh ok | 21:22 |
grnt | DelG: see it now | 21:22 |
Lolostudio | developer215 > I'm not really sure, i'm not really used to ubuntu, but I choosed the one where there's a "advised" next to in the selection window. | 21:22 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: gdm start/running, process 2310 | 21:22 |
DelG | grnt: i wrote the command yo usay and it returned nothing | 21:22 |
developer215 | Lolostudio, there is the free driver, called "nouveau", and the driver by nvidia. I'm not sure which is "advised", but i think ubuntu by default comes with nouveau. I'd try using the latest driver from nvidia instead | 21:23 |
grnt | DelG: the thing is, i just checked packages.ubuntu.com. And it seems that this package contained your firmware | 21:23 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: OK. That *should* have brought you to a GUI login screen, apparently it didn't. Try pressing ctrl+alt+F7, if that doesn't bring you to a GUI then ctrl+alt+F8, if that also fails then ctrl+alt+F1 should bring you back to your terminal. | 21:23 |
pzn | how can I recover window manager back? I'm in the middle of an 11.10->12.04 upgrade. alt-tab alt-f2 menus icons(min,maximize,close) all of this are gone. tty1 works. how can I proceed to re-gain window control? | 21:23 |
Jordan_U | pzn: DISPLAY=:0.0 metacity --replace & | 21:24 |
DelG | grnt: I'm going to install xampp now to start coding php :P | 21:24 |
grnt | DelG: -nonfree is not installed by default because it's proprietary. If you go to packages.ubuntu.com and check the list of it's files, you will see it contains a lot of b43 stuff | 21:24 |
DelG | grnt: dont know why | 21:24 |
foobArrr | The_Loko: compatible to what? it's a core i5 2500 | 21:24 |
guntbert | !lamp | DelG | 21:24 |
ubottu | DelG: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 21:24 |
zykotick9 | !xampp | DelG | 21:24 |

grnt | DelG: php is bad :-) | 21:25 |
DelG | grnt: why is php bad? i actually installed linux to start learning | 21:25 |
grnt | DelG: very slow, error prone, bloated to death. | 21:25 |
pzn | Jordan_U, metacity command didn't work. it returned: GLib-GIO-ERROR: no Gsetting schemas are installed on the system. any hint? | 21:25 |
chester | hola | 21:26 |
DelG | grnt: so what should i use then instead of php | 21:26 |
chester | alguien habla español? | 21:26 |
freebird | you guys, why wont killall lightdm or sudo service lightdm stop work ? how do I stop xservers ? | 21:26 |
ThinkT510 | !es | chester | 21:26 |
ubottu | chester: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 21:26 |
pzn | chester, /j #ubuntu-es | 21:26 |
Jordan_U | pzn: You switched back to the other tty and confirmed that there was still no window manager? | 21:26 |
mcdonc | grnt: python is very nice for web programming (check out flask or bottle) | 21:26 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: still hasn't started any GUI ... last line of output :: Starting TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation... OK | 21:26 |
grnt | DelG: I'd personally go with node.js or python | 21:26 |
=== austinallen_ is now known as austinallen | ||
pzn | Jordan_U, yes, alt-f7 went back to graphical screen. I see only upgrade manager window. no window manager things | 21:27 |
zykotick9 | freebird: "sudo killall lightdm" works fine here ;) | 21:27 |
whoever | need help with scannedonly i am getting a bunch of undefind references when i try to make scannedonly , but compiles fine using samba 3.5.44 | 21:27 |
Jordan_U | pzn: Try "DISPLAY=:0.0 unity --reset &" | 21:27 |

chester | soy nuevo usuario | 21:27 |
whoever | 3.5.11 | 21:27 |
DelG | grnt: Isn't PHP for web only? | 21:27 |
sfears | pzn: maybe resolution is set too high? | 21:28 |
MirkoKa | aaas: no clue (apt-cache search, google, no help) was it in the standard ubuntu repos? | 21:28 |
guntbert | DelG: choose whatever language you like - and "choice of programming language" is not really on topic here grnt :-) | 21:28 |
grnt | DelG: python is a general purpose programming language | 21:28 |
chester | recién tengo la versión de ubuntu 12.04 con 32 bit | 21:28 |
chester | bueno entro más tarde bye | 21:28 |
DelG | grnt: can i pm you grnt | 21:28 |
grnt | DelG: PHP can be used for non-web stuff but it will be ass-backwards | 21:28 |
aaas | MirkoKa im pretty sure... i asked in #xorg but no one is answering...this is going to drive me crazy...ill let yo uknow if i can remember | 21:28 |
pzn | sfears, it is 1024x768 (default for my 14 inch monitor) | 21:29 |
Lolostudio | Hum, I installed the ppa from xorg updates as you told me, but i can't find any changes in the list of nvidia drivers from the driver selection window | 21:29 |
pzn | Jordan_U, the screen blinked (view/blank/view), but no window manager appeared | 21:29 |
linuxuz3r | hi | 21:29 |
grnt | DelG: why you need pm? The thing is, i don't know how to PMs work in irssi (my IRC client) | 21:29 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: Try running "sudo apt-get -f install" then "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to confirm that the upgrade finished completely. | 21:29 |
linuxuz3r | i am at 12.04 w0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000t | 21:30 |
MirkoKa | DelG: PHP is still the most common server-side web programming language, if you're intersted in learning web-dev you need to learn it. but PHP is a horrible ugly langua and Python is a a lot cleaner but not that much used in web-deb | 21:30 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: ok | 21:30 |
linuxuz3r | at = in | 21:30 |
developer215 | Lolostudio, sudo apt-get update , then sudo apt-get install nvidia-current should install the latest driver | 21:30 |
freebird | zykotick9, I think i'm not using lightdm in here, and also not using gdm, and I've just installed this box, what could be ? | 21:30 |
cypher-neo | linuxuz3r, Congratz | 21:30 |
grnt | DelG: just started using it and don't know a way around yet | 21:30 |
developer215 | Lolostudio, if it doesn't work with it i don't know what can help you though | 21:30 |
sfears | pzn, what happens if you reboot? | 21:30 |
txdv | php is just like ie, it is good to have for the occasional bash | 21:30 |
DelG | MirkoKa: grnt: so what cool stuff can i do in python | 21:30 |
freebird | zykotick9, ps aux | grep lightdm shows nothing | 21:30 |
linuxuz3r | lol | 21:30 |
Jordan_U | pzn: I guess you'll have to wait for the upgrade to finish then :( | 21:31 |
zykotick9 | freebird: kdm, xdm? there are others, slim. | 21:31 |
Boreeas_ | So I was running a dist-upgrade (11.04->11.10). It errored out at the end though, telling me that samba failed. | 21:31 |
zth | linuxuz3r, nice! ;) | 21:31 |
MirkoKa | DelG: everything. just cleaner as in PHP. if you want to learn general purpose programming choose Python, if you want to learn web development choose PHP | 21:31 |
Boreeas_ | When I restarted the update manager, it told me that the next release is 12.04 though, so I guess the dist-upgrade was left in a partially completed state, especially seing that buttons have gone back to a very "basic" design | 21:32 |
MirkoKa | DelG: try them both and decide which one you like more | 21:32 |
pzn | sfears, is it worth to reboot in the middle of the upgrade? If I can't fix it now, maybe better wait the 2 hours for the end of upgrade, then reboot, isn't? | 21:32 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: calculating upgrade ... Done The following packages have been kept back: lxdm | 21:32 |
geddylee | i was wondering if anyone could help me, i am getting chmod missing operand after 777' error after sudo chmod 777 | 21:33 |
DelG | MirkoKa: I've already done lot of stuff in php already i like it but i want to know like what kinds of stuff i can do in python, games? apps? .. etc | 21:33 |
Boreeas_ | What exactly should I do now? Restart and proceed with an upgrade for 12.04, directly continue to 12.04 or is the something I should fix first? | 21:33 |
zykotick9 | geddylee: you need a filename/directory. and 777 is bad. | 21:33 |
pzn | Jordan_U, yes... lets cross-fingers and wait for it to finish... | 21:33 |
grnt | DelG: "general purpose" means almost everything | 21:33 |
Lolostudio | developer215 I did it, it wrote that "nvidia current is already the latest version" and some other things, and, at the end, "0 updates, 0 changes, 0 new installed, 0 ..." so that means I already got the right driver and the problem comes from something else...? aw, thanks for the time you gave me anyway! | 21:33 |
sfears | pzn, don't reboot in the middle. Is the upgrade finished? | 21:34 |
developer215 | Lolostudio, yes, sorry, that means it wasn't the problem | 21:34 |
pzn | sfears, about 2 hours to finish. | 21:34 |
DelG | grnt: Do you have anything done in python i can check? | 21:34 |
zykotick9 | Lolostudio: did you run the command to create the xorg.conf file? i can't test, no nvidia here. | 21:34 |
developer215 | Lolostudio, you can try running the nvidia control panel to check that everything looks right | 21:35 |
sfears | ohh, well then I agree with Jordan_U. Let it finish and reboot. | 21:35 |
MirkoKa | DelG: let me it the other way around. what you can't to with python (and neither with PHP) is low-level operating syystem and driver programming, that's all. try it. Python is just better at general purpose programming while PHP is better (matter of opinion) for web development. | 21:35 |
geddylee | zykotick9 i was in /var/www ----- so the first command was cd /var/www --- after i was there i typed sudo chmod 777 | 21:35 |
zykotick9 | Lolostudio: "sudo nvidia-xconfig" most likely, then restart system and or xorg. | 21:35 |
sfears | 777? | 21:35 |
pzn | sfears, well... I'm at work now. I'll take the notebook to home turned on. when it finishes I'll reboot. lets pray for the best :-) | 21:35 |
Lolostudio | zykotic9 okay i'm gonna try, thanks | 21:35 |
pzn | sfears Jordan_U, thanks for your help! | 21:36 |
Lolostudio | developer215 nvidia control panel? | 21:36 |
sfears | don't mess with a bunch of stuff while it's upgrading, you're more likly to break something that's not broke pzn | 21:36 |
freebird | wow, how do I find out which login screen I'm using in here, it's not kdm, xdm, lightdm, slim, gdm | 21:36 |
Jordan_U | pzn: You're welcome. | 21:36 |
zykotick9 | geddylee: eeek. you're unclear on how to apply the permission to the file/directory. but you're doing something that is crazy - so i won't help.... sorry man. | 21:36 |
DelG | MirkoKa: you dont understand me , i am really new to programming i dont imagine stuff i can do just give me some examples. ( not web deb ) of what i can do with python | 21:36 |
freebird | those processes are not present | 21:36 |
zykotick9 | !tab > Lolostudio | 21:36 |
ubottu | Lolostudio, please see my private message | 21:36 |
pndemc_ | can anyone here help me with srcds? | 21:37 |
sfears | geddylee: 777 is leaving the keys in your car | 21:37 |
pzn | sfears, ok. that is a good advice. I was just using gedit to program... but since I had other computer at work I could be using the other one... | 21:37 |
grnt | DelG: Django CMS is written in Python (web), some ubuntu components are written in python | 21:37 |
Lolostudio | zykotick9: i got this "VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. | 21:38 |
Lolostudio | Device section "Default Device" must have a Driver line." | 21:38 |
aaas | MirkoKa xrestop! | 21:38 |
geddylee | zykotick9 I'm just trying to put a couple of directories in there, and i can't. any help would be appreciated. plus, this server will be internal only, not on the internet at large | 21:38 |
Lolostudio | zykotick9: and "Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'" | 21:38 |
zykotick9 | Lolostudio: that's doesn't look promising. sorry - i don't know what to suggest. | 21:38 |
sfears | pzn: make sure it gets a clean restart. "sudo restart" is you can't get to the shutdown button | 21:38 |
grnt | DelG: search for "applications written in python", you will find a lot of stuff | 21:38 |
MirkoKa | DelG: if you already know PHP stay with it and learn more about programming. If you feel fit for the next stage consider python.. you can do everyting with Python. it is a language for all purposes, you can write gamesm apps, tools, website, etc with it. | 21:38 |
sfears | restart from a tty if you have to pzn | 21:38 |
grnt | DelG: Python can also be embedded in other apps as a scripting language (see Blender for example) | 21:39 |
Lolostudio | zykotick9: okay, thanks anyway. | 21:39 |
linuxuz3r | what is the settings manager for gnome shell | 21:39 |
zykotick9 | Lolostudio: you already had an xorg.conf? sorry, i'm jumping in rather late here. i don't even know what your issue is ;) | 21:39 |
DelG | grnt: let's say i make an app in python and compile it for linux , can i compile it with the same source code for lets say windows or mac os x | 21:39 |
Viking667 | hello all. I'm having trouble with a 12.04 machine's network interface. | 21:40 |
developer215 | Lolostudio, can you run the graphical nvidia control panel? | 21:40 |
linuxuz3r | what is the settings manager for gnome shell | 21:40 |
developer215 | it would tell you if it's not using the right driver | 21:40 |
linuxuz3r | i want answer now! | 21:40 |
Lolostudio | developer215: is this panel the "nvidia x server settings"? cause I only have it | 21:40 |
Stereocaulon | !patience | linuxuz3r | 21:40 |
ubottu | linuxuz3r: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 21:40 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: back to terminal prompt, i tried ctrl alt f7 and 8 to no avail towards gui | 21:40 |
grnt | DelG: Python apps doesn't compile. They are cross-platform and run under python | 21:41 |
zykotick9 | Lolostudio: nvidia driver from PPA - ya sorry. i shouldn't has said anything. good luck. | 21:41 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: Try running "startx". | 21:41 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: k | 21:41 |
Lmce | Lolostudio: lspci -nn | grep VGA | 21:41 |
DelG | oh i see , like java? | 21:41 |
DelG | grnt: oh i see , like java? | 21:41 |
pzn | sfears, ok, I'll take care to do to clean reboot from tty1 after it finishes the upgrade process. | 21:41 |
sfears | Lolostudio: sudo nvidia-xconfig? | 21:42 |
developer215 | Lolostudio, i'm not sure what it was called, i don't have a nvidia here;.. | 21:42 |
grnt | DelG: yes, much like java | 21:42 |
Viking667 | in /etc/network/interfaces, I defined eth0 with certain DNS servers. I also added those same DNS servers to /etc/resolv.conf and to /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Wired\ Connection\ 1. Anyhow, when I start NetworkManager, the details change to loopback. | 21:42 |
=== william is now known as Guest36449 | ||
pzn | sfears, thanks again for your help. will go home now. bye | 21:42 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: fatal server error: no screens found sort of jumps off the screen | 21:42 |
developer215 | Lolostudio, yes, nvidia x server settings should be it | 21:42 |
Lolostudio | Lmce: i got this 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400 GS] [10de:0422] (rev a1) when typing what you gave me | 21:42 |
developer215 | 8400... that's quite old... | 21:42 |
Viking667 | If I look up the Network Manager's properties on the interface, they're all correct. Yet /etc/resolv.conf is fried (reset to 127.0.0.1 for nameserver) | 21:43 |
Viking667 | what the heck should I look at here? | 21:43 |
Lolostudio | developer215 : ok so I ran it, what should i do with that? | 21:43 |
zykotick9 | Viking667: if Network Manager is running it overrides /etc/resolv.conf | 21:43 |
developer215 | Lolostudio, does it detect your graphic card correctly? | 21:43 |
MrKeuner | hello, where's user's crontab written? I have the disk mounted as external... | 21:43 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: One option is to try upgrading to 11.04 and hope that fixes it. | 21:43 |
L3top | Sorry Lolostudio I am coming in late as well... what version are you on? | 21:43 |
Viking667 | Oh, where's the values coming from? Because NetworkManager tells me it's got the correct values for eth0 | 21:44 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: can i do that through term? | 21:44 |
zykotick9 | Viking667: if Network Manager is running it also overrides /etc/network/interfaces | 21:44 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: Yes. | 21:44 |
Jordan_U | !upgrade | mikubuntu | 21:44 |
L3top | Lolostudio: of ubuntu that is | 21:44 |
ubottu | mikubuntu: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 21:44 |
Lolostudio | developer215: yes I assume | 21:44 |
Lolostudio | L3top: yes, 12.04 | 21:44 |
Viking667 | I figured that, that's why I added the same details to /etc/NetworkManager/system-interfaces/Wired Connection 1 | 21:44 |
L3top | Lolostudio: why did you install the swat ppa? 1204 is already on 295... | 21:45 |
Viking667 | Frankly I hate NetworkManager, but I can't seem to get it off my system reliably. | 21:45 |
developer215 | L3top, I advised him to do it, because that's what i had to do to make my nvidia work. | 21:45 |
L3top | on 1204 developer215? | 21:45 |
developer215 | yes | 21:45 |
mongy | http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ resolvconf replaces /etc/resolv.conf | 21:45 |
Lolostudio | L3top: cause someone told me to do this ^^" was it a mistake? | 21:45 |
L3top | Not casting aspersions... just curious developer215 | 21:45 |
developer215 | but anyway that didn't install anything for him, so it wasn't his problem | 21:45 |
L3top | no Lolostudio | 21:45 |
L3top | Lolostudio: Xorg -configure | 21:46 |
hydrox24 | --configure? | 21:46 |
L3top | this will create /root/xorg.conf.new | 21:46 |
freebird | L3top, in here I'm getting an error | 21:46 |
Lolostudio | L3top: typing that, i got "Fatal server error: Could not create server lock file: /tmp/.X0-lock" | 21:46 |
freebird | Lolostudio, got the same | 21:47 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: i don't see a commandline upgrade process on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NattyUpgrades | 21:47 |
L3top | Lolostudio: sorry, with x active that wont go probably... | 21:47 |
Viking667 | mongy: looking at that now. | 21:47 |
freebird | L3top, should we stop the xserv er before doing that ? | 21:47 |
hydrox24 | does it need root? | 21:47 |
freebird | L3top, how to stop xserver ? | 21:47 |
MirkoKa | Viking667: not sure if that helps you, but I use a Vodafone UMTS USB webstick which doesn't work well with NW on 10.04, so I just stop NW (sudo network-manger stop) and use Betavine's Vodafone foer Linux connection manager instead), so maybe just stopping NW and configure everything youself could help you. | 21:47 |
L3top | service lightdm stop | 21:47 |
linuxuz3r | why is gnome tweak tool not showing up in my gnome shell menu? | 21:47 |
freebird | L3top, says this process is not present | 21:48 |
L3top | freebird: are you on 1204? | 21:48 |
freebird | I control alt f1, and try, wont work, what's 1204 ? | 21:48 |
guakkione | Hi! I've no more space in my root partition. What can I remove? (I need to know what files are useless such logs etc., and why not, a command which ordres installed packages from-most to-least big) | 21:48 |
sheepherd | so i just finished my fresh install of 12.04 and trying to reinstall vmware workstation. now as usual "some modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel". but while doing so, i get following error: http://pastebin.com/NQh3aNfe can someone explain me this? | 21:48 |
Viking667 | MirkoKa: perhaps, but I have static IP setup here and NetworkManager seems to come with the OS. | 21:48 |
L3top | the version of ubuntu. freebird type lsb_release -sc | 21:48 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core && sudo do-release-upgrade --mode=desktop | 21:49 |
Viking667 | The silly thing is, when I stop NetworkManager, I get the correct /etc/resolv.conf | 21:49 |
Lolostudio | L3top: I'm sorry, i'm new to ubuntu and english is not my main language, so I didn't really understand what it implies...? do I have to do something for this or did you mean i'm screwed? | 21:49 |
freebird | L3top, naty | 21:49 |
Viking667 | I'm about to check what services are actually running. | 21:49 |
ghabit | Hello. What means type of updates - security, updates, proposed, backports -which of them is secure, explain me plesae. | 21:49 |
L3top | Ok freebird you will be service gdm stop | 21:49 |
MirkoKa | Viking667: that's the point. just configure the interfaces as if NW wouldn't be there. other distros do that too | 21:49 |
linuxuz3r | ghabit, what are you doing | 21:49 |
L3top | freebird: as I am going for a 1204 fix you will not have the same process if you are trying to follow along... I will try to address you as well | 21:50 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: what's that symbol that looks like && but looks more like EE | 21:50 |
freebird | L3top, thank's I just need to be able to create a xorg.conf | 21:50 |
mouth1 | does wine work on ubuntu 12.04 64 bit? | 21:50 |
=== tkkrlab_ is now known as Drbytes-cnc | ||
L3top | Lolostudio: You are fine... dont worry. are you on the 1204 desktop you are trying to fix this from? | 21:50 |
Viking667 | could this problem be thrown up because I have no DNS server running on port 53? | 21:50 |
freebird | that's all, but now, L3top the gdm failled | 21:50 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: I don't know what you mean. | 21:50 |
L3top | freebird: you will need to sudo | 21:50 |
ghabit | linuxuz3r, looking at updates options. | 21:50 |
mouth1 | hello! | 21:51 |
mouth1 | does wine work on ubuntu 12.04 64 bit? | 21:51 |
linuxuz3r | oh | 21:51 |
linuxuz3r | brb | 21:51 |
linuxuz3r | i gtg | 21:51 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: right before the second 'sudo' in the line you just sent | 21:51 |
Viking667 | And frankly, I want NetworkManager to sodding well get it right. It tells me lies. lies, I say. <huge grin> | 21:51 |
christhisisgool | mouth1: sudo apt-get install wine1.4 | 21:51 |
mouth1 | christhisisgool, i did sudo apt-get install wine | 21:51 |
mouth1 | the metapkg | 21:51 |
freebird | L3top, failled to aquire org.gnome.Dislpaymanager | 21:51 |
mouth1 | was that wrong? | 21:52 |
freebird | could not aquire name | 21:52 |
gmachine_24 | Greetings. Is there a command (CLI) I can use to unzip a folder that has mp3 files into a new folder - I want to create the folder as part of the process, i.e. one command. | 21:52 |
christhisisgool | mouth1: no. that is fine as well | 21:52 |
gmachine_24 | I know "unzip" but........... | 21:52 |
mouth1 | christhisisgool, is it the same? | 21:52 |
L3top | weird freebird. Can you pkill X | 21:52 |
mongy | Viking667: read the page again, it tells you how to override it. Is /etc/resolv.conf a symlink? | 21:52 |
christhisisgool | mouth1: im fairly sure it is | 21:52 |
guakkione | Hi! I've no more space in my root partition. What can I remove? (I need to know what files are useless such logs etc., and why not, a command which ordres installed packages from-most to-least big) | 21:52 |
mouth1 | ok thanks | 21:52 |
Viking667 | gmachine_24: than's what you use. cd newfgolder; unzip previous-folder/this-zip-file.zip | 21:53 |
Viking667 | I'll check. | 21:53 |
mongy | guakkione: try sudo apt-get clean | 21:53 |
christhisisgool | mouth1: it should work, as it is in the repositories. do a search in the dash for wine and it should show up. also you can run it from the terminal. for more info, go to wines documentation site. | 21:53 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: That was &&, two "and" symbols. | 21:53 |
developer215 | gmachine_24, there is a -d option that you can look into | 21:53 |
gmachine_24 | Viking667 so it has two be a two-command process? | 21:53 |
guakkione | mongy: already did | 21:53 |
mouth1 | thank you christhisisgool | 21:53 |
gmachine_24 | *to, even | 21:54 |
freebird | L3top, made a fast restar the pkill | 21:54 |
aaas | how do you change the window manager theme? | 21:54 |
MirkoKa | gmachine_24: maybe unzip -d and if unzip insists that the directory must exist "mkdir the_dir && unzip -d the_dir" | 21:54 |
Random832 | what window manager? | 21:54 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: ok, that whole line then | 21:54 |
InferiorHumanOrg | !gnome | 21:54 |
ubottu | GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10 To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. | 21:54 |
Random832 | aren't there appearance settings in the control center? | 21:54 |
gmachine_24 | developer215 yeah I've used that -d command. Not quite the same. | 21:54 |
aaas | gnome | 21:54 |
developer215 | gmachine_24, if you do it often you can also write a command. I had an alias in the past, unzipd, which basically made mkdir $1; cd $1; unzip ../$1.zip; cd .. | 21:54 |
freebird | aaas, the the login page | 21:54 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: I don't understand your question. | 21:55 |
L3top | freebird: try to sudo service gdm stop again | 21:55 |
freebird | when you choose you user, at the bottom of the page aaas | 21:55 |
aaas | no i mean the actual windows | 21:55 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: i wonder if the network connection is viable, i'll try | 21:55 |
L3top | freebird: we are trying to kill x. Do not log in | 21:55 |
Random832 | ...don't the appearance settings in the control center cover that too? | 21:55 |
aaas | Random832 ah ok yes its there udner theme | 21:55 |
aaas | thanks | 21:55 |
gmachine_24 | MirkoKa, OK, will check that out as well. Actually, a script is probably a good idea. | 21:55 |
mongy | guakkione: is your home on your / partition? | 21:55 |
gmachine_24 | developer215, yes, that is probably best. thank you. | 21:56 |
mouth1 | how can you mount an iso? | 21:56 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: By the way, the "nomodeset" kernel parameter is not ideal. With intel graphics it will mean that you'll lose hardware acceleration among other things. After upgrading you should try removing it again to see if your system will work properly without it. | 21:56 |
gartral | hello all, this is an interesting question, is there any feasably easy way too have a package install somewhere other than it's default location? | 21:56 |

MirkoKa | gartral: yes compile yourself. unfortunately deb packages (while in priciple they can) don't work well with relocations. rpm did that better ones | 21:59 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: Is your connection to the internet wireless or wired? | 21:59 |

gartral | christhisisgool: that's going too be a pain in my butt.. RedHat/Fedora based distros generally have different internal names for packages than Debian.. | 22:03 |
Vishaal | how would i go about doing this | 22:03 |
Jordan_U | Vishaal: I would recommend against using Wubi. | 22:03 |
Stereocaulon | Vishaal, Wubi is only for testing, don't use it on a daily basis. | 22:03 |
RKyle | Vishaal: You do/don't want to dual boot? | 22:03 |
Stereocaulon | Vishaal, did you make a full backup of important data on the NetBook? | 22:03 |
littlegirl | Hey there, my son is currently still using Ubuntu 10.04 and is having a rather catastrophic problem with the package manager and the software index after installing Adobe Reader and daring to attempt to remove it. Details are here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/953685/ Any help would be greatly appreciated. | 22:04 |
christhisisgool | Vishaal: try doing a full install either on a seperate partition if you want to keep windows, or if you want to go all in just format and start over | 22:04 |
Vishaal | I don't really know I guess for dual boot vs single boot and yes i've backed up all the important information | 22:04 |
gartral | Vishaal: Wubi is a "playground" for playing with Ubuntu on, I've seen some pretty strange stuff on Wubi installs.. | 22:04 |
guakkione | mongy: yes, home is in my / partition | 22:04 |
Viking667 | hmmm. Weird. I just noticed that dns is set to dnsmasq. | 22:04 |
Vishaal | her netbook isn't very powerful so i dont know if dual boot will make it extra slow | 22:04 |
jdavis_ | I just upgraded to 12.04 and now it says the package system is broken. If I do "aptitude install" it comes up with a crazy number of packages to remove. Any ideas how to fix it? | 22:04 |
Jordan_U | Vishaal: Dual booting won't make anything slower. | 22:04 |
Stereocaulon | Vishaal, no unless it depends heavily on swap space. | 22:05 |
gartral | Vishaal: No, dual boot only means that there's two OSes on it, only one will be booted at any given time | 22:05 |
Vishaal | ok cool | 22:05 |
ol3 | hi guys | 22:05 |
Vishaal | i can always wipe one correct? | 22:05 |
christhisisgool | Vishaal: if you are worried about doing a wubi, then partition it. wubi's are stereotypically slow, so dont expect it to be fast, but a partition will be very easy | 22:05 |
ol3 | can i ask u an information about eclipse and Lubuntu??? | 22:05 |
christhisisgool | Vishaal: if you want to wipe a wubi however, it is as simple as just going to add remove programs | 22:06 |
littlegirl | Hey there, my son is currently still using Ubuntu 10.04 and is having a rather catastrophic problem with the package manager and the software index after installing Adobe Reader and daring to attempt to remove it. Details are here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/953685/ Any help would be greatly appreciated. | 22:06 |
Vishaal | ok cool | 22:06 |
Jordan_U | Vishaal: Yes, but you have to be careful about it. If you just remove the Ubuntu partition with a partitioning tool for instance you will no longer be able to boot Ubuntu *or* Windows anymore as grub depends on files from the Ubuntu partition. | 22:06 |
gartral | Vishaal: Yea.. but I highly, highly HIGHLY recommend you DON'T wipe the windows partition if you even ever THINK you want to use Windows again, getting windows back onto a NetBook is HARD, | 22:06 |
MirkoKa | gmachine_24 try the following command and see if that gives you a hint: in your script: "echo $(basename 3812.zip .zip)" or "fname="3812.zip" ; echo ${fname%%.zip}" | 22:07 |
Vishaal | I guess I should give some background then. The reason I want to do all this is that the netbook isn't very frequently used anymore (almost never) and my mom is complaining it is slow. | 22:07 |
ol3 | is there anyone?? | 22:07 |
Vishaal | We don't want to reformat because my dad doesn't want to dig up our Windows key | 22:07 |
Vishaal | and since Ubuntu is easily installed and free and is relatively simple to use I suggested this as an option | 22:08 |
Vishaal | do you think this is an appropriate situation to use Ubuntu or should I just try and defrag and clean up freeware on the current OS | 22:08 |
Jordan_U | littlegirl: Try "sudo dpkg -i /path/to/AdbeRdr9.5.1-1_i386linux_enu.deb" | 22:08 |
Lirth | While updating to ubuntu 12.04, my computer froze up. I rebooted and tried the live USB I created and found out that it successfully installed. Now I'm having the same problem I had when I first installed Ubuntu (11.10) where my GPU drivers cause it to be unable to boot. I get a black screen with a flashing underscore. How do I activate nomodeset from the GRUB menu? | 22:09 |
RKyle | Vishaal: You can always use something to bring up your product key before you reformat. | 22:09 |
littlegirl | Jordan_U: Thank you - he's trying it right now. (: | 22:09 |
ol3 | can u help me^^ | 22:09 |
Vishaal | RKyle: I didn't know that I think that changes a lot | 22:09 |
gartral | Vishaal: good choice, for that, I'd recommend a full partition. Shrink the Windows one down as small as you're comfortable with, but make EXTRA sure you've checked that there's space for the new partition and you've run your DeFrag. | 22:09 |
MirkoKa | !ask | ol3 | 22:09 |
ubottu | ol3: 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 | 22:09 |
ClientAlive | what is a good, full featured firewall? Not iptables and not ufw. Command line tool would be fine, but a tool that's robust and full featured - none of this rinky dink stuff :) | 22:09 |
Jordan_U | Vishaal: It depends on a lot of things, like what your mother wants to do with her computer, how well Ubuntu works with her particular hardware, how OK she is with change, and most importantly does *she* want you do install Ubuntu? | 22:09 |
grnt | Lirth: press "e" on menu item and add it manually | 22:10 |
ol3 | excuse me... | 22:10 |
littlegirl | Jordan_U: He says it's attempting to repair it. (: | 22:10 |
Lirth | grnt: I've tried that. Where do I put it? Google's recommendations haven't worked. | 22:10 |
yeats | ol3: please just ask your question and someone may answer | 22:10 |
MirkoKa | ClientAlive: Ah, iptables *IS* the firewall, UFW or Firestarter are just GUI configuration front-end. what exactly do you need | 22:10 |
Jordan_U | littlegirl: You're welcome. From there he should be able to run "sudo apt-get remove adobereader-enu" to actually remove it. | 22:11 |
ol3 | i try to install eclipse on lubuntu 11.10 but it doesn't start.. | 22:11 |
grnt | Lirth: add nomodeset to kernel line. I don't know how to rephrase it more clear | 22:11 |
RKyle | Vishaal: Your product key? It never changes, you just need software to find it in an already existing Windows installation. | 22:11 |
Vishaal | Jordan_U: She primarily uses this netbook for Skype and web surfing, no coding or gaming or video editing. I should've looked up this prior to considering this option. She basically gifted the Netbook to me as she has a MacBook Pro now and I would use the netbook for all the same purposes | 22:11 |
littlegirl | Jordan_U: Weehaw, it worked! He's in Synaptic without any errors and is removing it from there. (: | 22:11 |
cromag | did the startup sound get ditched from ubuntu when upgrading to 12.04 ? | 22:11 |
Lirth | grnt: Which is the kernel line? | 22:11 |
ol3 | i'm installing it on virtual machine | 22:11 |
littlegirl | Jordan_U: He says he officially loves you. (: | 22:11 |
Jordan_U | littlegirl: :) | 22:12 |
robertzaccour | I'm recording with ffmpeg and wanna record audio with my webcam. how do I know what number value my webcam is? | 22:12 |
Vishaal | RKyle: I am going to go find this and write it down somewhere for safekeeping | 22:12 |
MirkoKa | ol3: do you get any error messages? | 22:12 |
ol3 | and lubuntu is installed now.. | 22:12 |
grnt | Lirth: after you press "e" grub will present you with edit prompt. Kernel line is usually second | 22:12 |
grnt | Lirth: first is device, second kernel, third I don't remember | 22:12 |
littlegirl | Jordan_U: How come that worked and sudo apt-get install didn't work? | 22:12 |
* Viking667 stomps off into the distance muttering dire threats about NetworkManager's existence. | 22:12 | |
Viking667 | Silly thing is, resolvconf works perfectly. | 22:12 |
ClientAlive | MirkoKa: I'd like to set up my firewall on an new server install (not used as a server though). I'm tempted to create one with iptables, but I'm lazy :) A tool would be easier but it would have to be good and robust... | 22:12 |
Lirth | grnt: Would that be where it says "set gfxpayload=$linux_gfx_mode"? | 22:13 |
ol3 | no, terminal says me "binary file isn't possible to execute" | 22:13 |
littlegirl | Jordan_U: Never mind. We figured it out. The command we were doing ws going to the package manager, and you sent the command directly to the deb, where it should have been all along. Thank you so much for your help! | 22:13 |
Viking667 | The details from /etc/interfaces are correct, as are the details listed in NetworkManager's config. Yet NetworkManager doesn't use those details for resolvconf's next settings. No. | 22:13 |
Viking667 | Instead, it uses some stupid loopback settings that I have no idea where it's getting the information from instead. | 22:14 |
RKyle | How do you search for package names using the command line? | 22:14 |
ol3 | problably there aren't dependencies?? | 22:14 |
ClientAlive | I guess any tool I would use that's as powerful as I'd want would be equal to using iptables anyhow... | 22:14 |
ol3 | (aren't there)* | 22:14 |
MirkoKa | ClientAlive: maybe http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/66/iptables-rules-can-be-easily-import-and-export/ | 22:14 |
grnt | Lirth: I really don't remember. When I had same problem (faulty KMS) with my HD 5850 i was able to fix it easily with nomodeset | 22:14 |
Viking667 | RKyle: apt-cache? | 22:14 |
aaas | is there a way to set a root theme consistent with my user theme? | 22:14 |
Lirth | grnt: I'll just try it on every line | 22:14 |
Viking667 | RKyle: what exactly are you after | 22:15 |
Jordan_U | littlegirl: You're welcome :) | 22:15 |
grnt | Lirth: but it seems with 12.04 the problem is gone | 22:15 |
ClientAlive | Oh MirkoKa! That's something I wanted to find!! Thx. | 22:15 |
Lirth | grnt: Not when I upgraded. That was when my problem started. | 22:15 |
ol3 | my target is to write android app.. | 22:15 |
gartral | aaas: what? you shouldn't have need, or even use a root user | 22:15 |
grnt | Lirth: you use proprietary drivers? | 22:15 |
jdavis_ | Is aptitude supposed to work with the update manager and the software center? | 22:15 |
Lirth | grnt: Could you explain? | 22:15 |
aaas | gartral no i want the root to have the same theme so if I run an app as root | 22:15 |
sobersabre | hi. | 22:15 |
grnt | Lirth: what is your graphic card | 22:16 |
RKyle | Viking667: I'm looking for other desktop environments. | 22:16 |
aaas | gartral gnome-system-log for example | 22:16 |
catcherdev | Hey guys, I've got a pretty big issue - every time I ssh into my ubuntu 11.10 machine after doing recommended security updates, I get a billion forked "fuser" processes started by root and it crashes the server. | 22:16 |
Lirth | grnt: GTX 570 | 22:16 |
RKyle | Does 12.04 use Gnome 3? | 22:16 |
=== Zorro is now known as Guest47928 | ||
sobersabre | what's the recommended reading if I want to run 10 workstations upgrade/deployment of 12.04 ? | 22:16 |
gartral | aaas: again, you should never need too do that. | 22:16 |
sobersabre | (from 10.04) | 22:16 |
aaas | gartral i need it to view some system logs | 22:16 |
grnt | Lirth: drivers may be "free" (open source) and "non-free", available only in binary form from NVIDIA | 22:16 |
gartral | aaas: you can do that without the help of root. | 22:17 |
RaeCarruth | hey, has anyone got deadbeef working with 12.04? | 22:17 |
aaas | gartral by changing the permissions of the corresponding log files? | 22:17 |
grnt | Lirth: depending on you case you may have better luck with one or another | 22:17 |
Lirth | grnt: I got my drivers from the nvidia page. | 22:17 |
Lirth | grnt: Last time* | 22:17 |
ol3 | i tried to install eclipse from synaptic and it goes | 22:17 |
sobersabre | I have used FAI a while ago, but it takes about a while to make it fit your needs. | 22:17 |
gartral | aaas: they should be readable by your sudoer-enabled user. | 22:17 |
ol3 | if I try to install Android adt there is another problem.. | 22:18 |
Viking667 | RKyle: such as? There's Gnome, there's XFCE, KDE, LDE, and the plain window managers such as black/fluxbox. | 22:18 |
aaas | gartral sure if you sudo them right? | 22:18 |
Viking667 | that's a very quick summary. | 22:18 |
gartral | aaas: no. | 22:18 |
fabrizio | ciao a tutti | 22:18 |
grnt | Lirth: those are proprietary | 22:18 |
ol3 | ciao fabrizio | 22:18 |
RKyle | Viking667: KDE is fine, KDE is usually what I use. | 22:18 |
fabrizio | !list | 22:18 |
ubottu | fabrizio: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 22:18 |
Viking667 | fabrizio: hablo inglese....? | 22:18 |
aaas | gartral i mean run the command with gksudo for example | 22:19 |
Lirth | grnt: So how would I get the other kind? | 22:19 |
spacebug- | I want to report a bug but don't know in which package or how to do it in this case. During installation of 12.04 (from USB-stick) I was using my wireless keyboard "ace ac-c5". Some keys were making the wrong output.. like "m" was outputting "0" and so on. After installation the keyboard worked correct again but then of course my password I set during installation was not correct since it was set when the keyboard sent wrong | 22:19 |
Viking667 | RKyle: hm. Check in synaptic for them then. | 22:19 |
spacebug- | chars. I have tested more times and concluded that when booting from the USB-stock the keybord is not correct but after install it is. | 22:19 |
sobersabre | another Q: does ubuntu DVD image contain both server/desktop setups ? | 22:19 |
gartral | aaas: depending on your graphical shell, you should be able to find log file viewer, which will give you all your logs | 22:19 |
Viking667 | RKyle: apt-cache might tell you what the name of the meta-package for KDE is... I can't remember it off the top of my head. | 22:19 |
Viking667 | sobersabre: not that I know of, but I could well be wrong now. | 22:20 |
robertzaccour | how do I know what input my webcam mic would be in the terminal? | 22:20 |
grnt | Lirth: you don't, open source ones are incomplete and while may be more compatible won't provide good performance | 22:20 |
aaas | gartral ok i made it that far but some require root access to view | 22:20 |
kasii | i need ahelp on this | 22:20 |
robertzaccour | how do I check? | 22:20 |
gartral | aaas: That shouldn't be. | 22:20 |
RKyle | Viking667: I can't do anything, when I login there is nothing. I disabled something in the compiz settings to make it faster on my dinosoar and it made everything disappear. | 22:20 |
dforthman | Is there an alternative to Skype that will still use my paid-for Skype account? | 22:20 |
Lirth | grnt: So what do you recomend? | 22:20 |
Viking667 | dforthman: no. | 22:20 |
alexfpms | hi everybody! | 22:21 |
Viking667 | RKyle: ouch. | 22:21 |
grnt | Lirth: big cos like NVIDIA or ATI rarely treat linux community better than dirt, so that's the pain we would have to endure | 22:21 |
gartral | dforthman: no. Skype is it's own propiretary protocol. | 22:21 |
kasii | i need a help on this | 22:21 |
aaas | gartral well maybe they need access from a particular user? www-data? | 22:21 |
grnt | Lirth: leave your drivers as they are, add nomodeset | 22:21 |
kasii | i need a help on this http://imagebin.org/210172 | 22:21 |
Lirth | grnt: How would I use the terminal/shell to get my drivers with sudo apt-get? | 22:21 |
mouth1 | if i want to install fglrx is it enough to just activate it under additional drivers? | 22:21 |
grnt | Lirth: report the problem to NVIDIA / Canonical | 22:21 |
Lirth | I can use the shell now when I boot with recovery mode | 22:21 |
gartral | aaas: I'm not sure. but usually, yes, you need too be the sudoer user too read logs | 22:22 |
alexfpms | How can i repaire Plymouth with nVidia drivers ??? (Ubuntu 12.04) | 22:22 |
RKyle | Viking667: Do you know how to fix that? | 22:22 |
MirkoKa | sobersabre: no, there are distinct *-desktop-* and *-server-* ISOs. (easy to spot, i think :-) ) | 22:22 |
Viking667 | RKyle: I'd check under $HOME/.config/ or $HOME/.gconf/* | 22:22 |
Viking667 | I'm not sure how to tweak those values by hand until I see them. | 22:22 |
chaotix | hi... quick question... how to drop down to a command line? isnt it one of the "F" keys? or maybe "(ctrl or alt)+(F*")? | 22:22 |
grnt | Lirth: without nomodeset you probably won't be able to get to shell | 22:22 |
dforthman | Is there a way to get around the Nouveau drivers when running the live cd? They tend to not like my GTX 550ti card. | 22:22 |
chaotix | in 10.04 lucid.. | 22:22 |
mongy | sobersabre: http://askubuntu.com/a/60969/26198 | 22:22 |
Lirth | grnt: I'm at some black and white command line that says "root@(computername):~#" | 22:23 |
aaas | gartral but that user doesn't alway have access to certain system logs... i think mayb ethe only way is to add the user to the corresponding groups that access those logs | 22:23 |
kasii | i need a help on this http://imagebin.org/210172 | 22:23 |
gartral | chaotix: ctrl-alt-t for graphical terminal, or ctrl-alt-f1-6 for your "VT" terminals | 22:23 |
Lirth | grnt: sudo apt-get update has some problems saying "failed to fetch ____. could not resolve ____" | 22:23 |
MirkoKa | chaotix: plain text console? ALT-CTRL-{F1..F7} | 22:23 |
ol3 | anyone help me?? | 22:24 |
gartral | MirkoKa: f7 will bring you back ointo gnome/kde | 22:24 |
ol3 | bye byw | 22:24 |
grnt | Lirth: you are at recovery console? | 22:24 |
Salamander | Hello, Im trying to install ubuntu 12.04 server and it does not recognize my network card. It is a Encore ESL-835-TB. Does anyown know a solution ??? | 22:24 |
chaotix | okay thanks gartral and MirkoKa ...and how to switch back to x afterwards? | 22:24 |
chaotix | okay | 22:24 |
chaotix | gotit | 22:24 |
Viking667 | RKyle: see what's under $HOME/.gconf/apps/compizconfig-1 | 22:24 |
Lirth | grnt: I think so | 22:24 |
Viking667 | You'll possibly see a whole lot of %gconf.xml files | 22:24 |
mouth1 | if i want to install fglrx is it enough to just activate it under additional drivers? | 22:25 |
MirkoKa | CTRL-Alt-F7 (that's why I included F7 ;-) ) | 22:25 |
Viking667 | mouth1: try it, I guess. | 22:25 |
RKyle | Viking667: That's what I'm doing right now. | 22:25 |
grnt | Lirth: i sort of lost what are you trying to do now. You need to put nomodeset in grub | 22:25 |
Viking667 | How did you "disable" it, exactly? | 22:25 |
MirkoKa | chaotix: CTRL-Alt-F7 (that's why I included F7 ;-) ) | 22:25 |
Lmce | mouth1: It can be... depending. How old is the ati gpu? | 22:25 |
robertzaccour | how do I locate an audio device? | 22:26 |
mouth1 | Lmce: HD6850 | 22:26 |
robertzaccour | I need to know what input I need for ffmpeg | 22:26 |
Lirth | grnt: Accedentally closed Pidgin so I have no idea what you said a minute ago | 22:26 |
grnt | Lirth: i sort of lost what are you trying to do now. You need to put nomodeset in grub | 22:26 |
L3top | mouth1: lspci | grep VGA | 22:26 |
Viking667 | mouth1: heh. That should certainly work. It works for my HD3450 on 11.10, but I don't know if the fglrx will still work for 12.04 | 22:26 |
grnt | Lirth: try nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg in rec console and add nomodeset there | 22:27 |
Lirth | grnt: I can't seem to get that working | 22:27 |
RKyle | Viking667: I've found a config file but it is blank. | 22:27 |
Viking667 | Anyhow, I'm going off to cry in a corner | 22:27 |
Viking667 | ahh, right. | 22:27 |
RKyle | Viking667: Bye, thanks for your assistance. | 22:27 |
grnt | Lirth: if nomodeset doesn't help then it may be another issue, not related to KMS | 22:28 |
Viking667 | sorry I wasn't much assistance. | 22:28 |
mouth1 | do i have to do anything else besides activating the fglrx in additional drivers? | 22:28 |
RKyle | Viking667: It's alright, atleast you tried. :) | 22:28 |
robertzaccour | I wish I could find someone here that is knowledgeable about locating audio devices | 22:28 |
alexfpms | so nobody knows how to fix Plymouth with nVidia drivers (Ubuntu 12.04) ??? | 22:28 |
* Viking667 shrugs... those files could have helped out if only we'd known what fields to put into the files. | 22:28 | |
Lirth | grnt: What else might it be? | 22:29 |
L3top | mouth1: lspci | grep VGA | 22:29 |
kasii | i need a help on this http://imagebin.org/210172 | 22:29 |
sobersabre | mongy: thanks for the link. it doesn't answer my question. | 22:29 |
MirkoKa | robertzaccour: maybe missed your previous posts, but: "lspci | grep Audio" for a start | 22:29 |
grnt | Lirth: regarding your apt-get issue, it's because network is not connected. | 22:30 |
L3top | no help here kasii... what happened though? | 22:30 |
sobersabre | (unless going through the whole manifest is) | 22:30 |
grnt | Lirth: i don't know what it can be but you can try removing you current drivers and installing open source ones just to make your system bootable. Then, you can try again with proprietary | 22:31 |
Lirth | grnt: How would I do that? | 22:31 |
g00053 | would it be unwise of me of use my same /home partition for ubuntu as I do for fedora ? | 22:31 |
grnt | Lirth: to do this you need first to go online on faulty PC | 22:31 |
Sna4x8 | When I log in to Ubuntu I can't click anything. I have to log out, then back in, and then I can click fine. | 22:32 |

RichardRaseley | I am running Ubuntu 12.04 on a MacBook Pro (Mid-2010 Core i5). There is no insert key on the keyboard, but I have read that you can do "fn+return" for insert, but it doesn't seem to work in vi in a terminal - on a "normal" keyboard when pressing insert it will say "INSERT" in vi in the lower left... that doesn't happen here... does anyone know what I am missing? | 22:32 |
grnt | Lirth: I can't be of much help here because I'm in ATI camp. Someone with NVIDIA should help you with removing and installing open ones | 22:32 |
robertzaccour | MirkoKa, ok thanks I'll pastebin the output brb | 22:32 |

MirkoKa | Jordan_U: regarding /home, did read the links, all good and fine, but as long as the standard installation requires to go to advanced partitioning it's no option for casual users/newbies. space constrains are much more serious and a reason to move home. instead there should be an easy GUI way to move home to another drive/partition, | 22:56 |

catcherdev | I changed something in my /etc/cron.d/php5 file. Then I restarted the service. It'll pick up the changes now, right? | 23:00 |

Steve132 | I did get the torrent right | 23:08 |
Steve132 | but I downloaded it across my lan and it got corrupted there | 23:08 |
Stereocaulon | MrKeuner, ah, does it use DHCP to do that, or does it use a fixed IP-address? Usually there is some way to print the network settings for your printer. | 23:09 |

Steve132 | do I redownload | 23:10 |
MrKeuner | Stereocaulon, I think it gets a fixed ip from the dhcp server which is an openwrt box | 23:10 |

Steve132 | version | 23:11 |
Steve132 | and it doesn't seem to have a .torrent | 23:11 |
Guest5769 | does anyone else have that problem? | 23:11 |
Stereocaulon | MrKeuner, in that case it should be easy to login to your OpenWRT box and look up which IP-address has been assigned to your printer (identifiable by its' MAC address) | 23:11 |
Lirth | Jordan_U: When I select the option "Erase Ubuntu 12.04 and reinstall", it warns me that it will remove all my files. Are you wrong or is it wrong? | 23:12 |
Grivvel | Aenigma: Crazy questoin, but have you made sure caps-lock/num-lock is off? | 23:12 |
Jordan_U | Lirth: You need to select "Other option" (or something named similar to that). | 23:12 |

Jordan_U | Lirth: Yes. | 23:12 |

Stereocaulon | MrKeuner, maybe ping has been disabled on your printer? | 23:14 |
snowrichard | it rocks! | 23:14 |
Aenigma | Grivvel: yes. if i put an incorrect password, i guess password failure. it like goes from gdm (or w/e), flashes into terminal, and as if GNOME were starting up or something but hits me back to the DM | 23:14 |
MrKeuner | Stereocaulon, hmm | 23:14 |
Jordan_U | Lirth: Then double click the ext4 partition. Select "use as Ext4" and for mountpoint select '/'. *Make absolutely sure that you do not select "format partition"*. Then double click the swap parititon and select "Use as swap". | 23:14 |
MrKeuner | Stereocaulon, because openwrt shows the IP | 23:14 |
fleco | what's default pw for root? | 23:14 |
Stereocaulon | MrKeuner, You might try to connect it via wire instead, just to see if it's a network or driver related problem. | 23:14 |
Grivvel | Aenigma: Ah, got it. I have no idea, sorry :( | 23:14 |
Jordan_U | !root | fleco | 23:14 |
ubottu | fleco: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:14 |
MrKeuner | Stereocaulon, I have to move the printer :) but I'll try | 23:15 |
Aenigma | i think it has to do with ecryptfs | 23:15 |
Lirth | Jordan_U: I have a 1 tb drive. Would it be the one that is 991638 MB? (I also have a large swap partition)? | 23:15 |
Jordan_U | Lirth: It should tell you the filesystem type. | 23:16 |
Aenigma | actually,i'm sure it is now | 23:16 |
Lirth | Jordan_U: Because the 991.6 GB one is my ext4 | 23:16 |
Stereocaulon | MrKeuner, printers with a builtin printserver usually have many options which can be set through a LCD screen. Maybe you can switch on ping response from there. | 23:16 |
ClientAlive | if you save iptables rules to a file, should you be logged in as root when you create the file or else chown the file so that root is the owner? | 23:16 |
JPeterson | i'm removing all X-related packages in 12.04, how do I remove plymouth? | 23:17 |
escott | ClientAlive, if you intend to load them back into the kernel then you should be a trusted user. | 23:17 |
Jordan_U | !screenshot | Lirth | 23:17 |
ubottu | Lirth: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. | 23:17 |
koffel | does iptables also control if a dhcp client can access outside internet? | 23:18 |
escott | JPeterson, plymouth is really hard to remove, its got its fingers into upstart. there are some bug reports on this, but they seem to just be ignored | 23:18 |
ClientAlive | escott: ok. Thx. Also though, there is this statement in the ubuntu how to: "Once a decision is made to accept a packet, no more rules affect it. As our rules allowing ssh and web traffic come first, as long as our rule to block all traffic comes after them, we can still accept the traffic we want. All we need to do is put the rule to block all traffic at the end. " | 23:18 |
MrKeuner | Stereocaulon, it does not have an lcd screen, but has a builtin web server, and I cannot reach that either thorugh its ip, there must be a connection problem | 23:18 |
Lirth | Jordan_U: imagebin.org/210182 | 23:19 |
ClientAlive | then the guy makes the first rull to accept everything coming in (I mean everything) then the following rules begin to restrict stuff down | 23:19 |
ClientAlive | doesn't make sense | 23:19 |
Jordan_U | Lirth: Is sdb the flash drive you're booted from or something else? | 23:20 |
Lirth | Jordan_U: I believe so. | 23:21 |
melodie_ | gn | 23:21 |
escott | ClientAlive, not too familiar with iptables or what you are seeing | 23:21 |
Aenigma | just fyi, my login problems were fixed when i uninstalled and removed ecryptfs configuration | 23:21 |
JPeterson | escott: so it's in the server install too? I installed the x package but changed my mind and want to remove all x packages | 23:21 |
Stereocaulon | MrKeuner, OpenWRT has all kinds of tools for diagnostics of hosts. Maybe you can use your router to troubleshoot this, independent of your desktop? | 23:22 |
Jordan_U | Lirth: OK. We need to do a few things, please don't select "install now" until I've seen another screenshot to confirm everything looks right. | 23:22 |
JPeterson | i mean i installed the desktop packages | 23:22 |

I can partition my disk, but GRUB doesn't install itself as a bootloader and restarting will just boot into Windows. | 23:22 |
Lowkee | Can anyone help? | 23:22 |
Jordan_U | Lirth: Double click /dev/sda1 and select its mountpoint as "/" and "use as" (or a similar option) ext4. | 23:22 |
Lirth | Jordan_U: Sounds good | 23:22 |
escott | JPeterson, plymouth is not X, but yes i suspect it is in the server as well | 23:22 |
koffel | does iptables also control if a dhcp client can access outside internet? | 23:23 |
Jordan_U | Lirth: Then double click sda5 and "use as" swap. | 23:23 |
MirkoKa | ClientAlive: not sure what you mean but there's only one "guy" that can make iptable rules: root (and the root group of course) | 23:23 |

Jordan_U | Then for "Device for bootloader installation" select "sda". | 23:23 |

Lirth | Jordan_U: SDA being my 1.0 TB? | 23:24 |
Jordan_U | Lirth: Yes. | 23:24 |
escott | Lowkee, with a 2TB drive you are probably running into gpt issues | 23:24 |
Lirth | Jordan_U: K | 23:24 |
phpn00b | hi. I installed Ubutnu 12.04 today but my system lags a lot | 23:25 |
Lowkee | escott: Thanks for coming back to me. What's my options then to get a successful installation & working GRUB? | 23:25 |
MirkoKa | koffel: maybe like http://www.faqs.org/docs/iptables/lettingdhcprequests.html | 23:25 |
phpn00b | can some one helps me troubleshoot the problem? | 23:25 |
Jordan_U | Lowkee: Did you install Windows for EFI or Windows for BIOS? | 23:25 |
escott | Lowkee, although win7 is not bootable with bios+gpt so you either have a uefi+gpt+win7 or you have bios+mbr, but either might confuse grub. it would help to identify what you have | 23:25 |
ClientAlive | escott: Ok. Well, just that there seems to be a contradiction in logic that can be seen right there in the statement. Or am I misreading it? He says once a packet has been accepted that no more rules can be applied to it. The first thing he does is accept any and every packet coming in. Then he says to place a rule to restrict "after" the rule to accept? What am I missing here? | 23:25 |
Lowkee | Jordan: I'm not sure. How would I know? | 23:25 |
Jordan_U | !bootinfo | Lowkee | 23:26 |
ubottu | Lowkee: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 23:26 |
Lirth | Jordan_U: this is what i've got now: www.imagebin.org/210183 | 23:26 |
Lowkee | Ah, It's UEFI btw. | 23:26 |
libertybell | VER | 23:26 |
escott | !paste | ClientAlive you would have to paste what you are seeing | 23:26 |

Grivvel | After updating to 12.04, the launcher is taking a good 3-4 seconds to show up after I click the meta key. Does anyone know what might be causing that or how I'd fix it? | 23:26 |
escott | Lowkee, then you probably need to install grub-efi -- the installer may not be detecting that this is necessary | 23:26 |
escott | Lowkee, what version are you trying to install | 23:27 |
Lowkee | 12.04, but I've tried 11.10 and 11.04 too - all coming up with the same problem. | 23:27 |
ClientAlive | escott: just the couple sentances I posted above. The logic in his description there seems off. | 23:27 |
Lirth | jordan | 23:28 |
Lowkee | Jordan: !bootinfo? It's been a long time since I've used IRC. Is that a bot command or somesuch? | 23:28 |
Lirth | Whoops, meant to search | 23:28 |
Jordan_U | Lowkee: It was a command to our channel bot ubottu, who then sent you a factoid about boot info script. | 23:28 |
datruth | How can I automatically mount a ntfs partition? | 23:29 |
escott | Lowkee, I would chroot in and see what version of grub the installer has selected, and install grub-efi if its not selecting the correct one | 23:29 |
Jordan_U | Lirth: I'm setting up a VM to test this myself to confirm, just a minute. | 23:29 |
Lirth | Jordan_U: Sounds fun | 23:29 |
Lowkee | Jordan: Aha, thanks. | 23:30 |
JPeterson | do i need more than one /boot/vmlinuz-*-generic? | 23:30 |

zeus | hey there good chaps, can someone help me out on an install problem? | 23:30 |
MirkoKa | JPeterson: no, you can uninstall old kernel with the package manager | 23:31 |
JPeterson | MirkoKa: ok thx | 23:31 |
Stereocaulon | zeus, what snag are you arunning into? | 23:31 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: i found a wire and the term is processing upgrade to maverick ... so you think 'maybe' my screen issue will be resolved on upgrade reboot? will the 'nomodeset' be reset to default in the upgrade? | 23:31 |
Jordan_U | Lirth: You didn't change the "Device for bootloader installation". | 23:31 |
Grivvel | Is there any way for me to completely reset CompizConfig? Changes I make in it don't seem to be affecting my desktop at all (after upgrading to 12.04) | 23:32 |
Jordan_U | Lirth: Never mind, I was looking at the old image :) | 23:32 |
Lowkee | escott: "uefi+gpt+win7, or bios+mbr - either might confuse grub". Identifying what I have: I think I'm using UEFI, but how would I go about identifying it. | 23:32 |
zeus | While trying to install Ubuntu 12-04, after I press "Continue" after the Install Ubuntu screen, it just hangs there | 23:32 |
Jordan_U | Lirth: Looks good to me. Click "Install now". | 23:33 |
Lowkee | zeus: I had similar trouble. Try disconnecting from networks. | 23:33 |
Stereocaulon | zeus, can't you change to another terminal? Alt + F1-F4 for instance? | 23:33 |
Lirth | Jordan_U: Now i'm confused. What should the bottom piece be? | 23:33 |
escott | Lowkee, if you use the disk utility it should tell you what kind of partition table you have. if you have a gpt table you almost certainly have uefi+gpt (although you might have a hybrid) alternately check the bios/uefi config it should say what it is | 23:33 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: i have supposedly a 12mbps connection, yet the mgr is telling me it will take 1 hour 40 mins -- i think at&t is throttling traffic to ubuntu servers -- wish i knew how to prove it | 23:33 |
Jordan_U | Lirth: You have it correct. I got my browser windows mixed up and was looking at your first screenshot. | 23:34 |
zeus | This is inside the desktop environment, I don't see Terminals where it hangs | 23:34 |
Lirth | Jordan_U: I messed with it after hearing what you said. Now I've forgotten | 23:34 |
zeus | And Lowkee, roger that, I'll try disconnectin the Ethernet cable | 23:34 |
Jordan_U | mikubuntu: It's a few days after a new release of Ubuntu, it's expected for the mirrors to be slow :) | 23:34 |
Jordan_U | Lirth: It should be "sda". Send one last screenshot and I'll confirm again that it looks good. | 23:34 |
FishFace | zeus: FWIW, I had to unplug an external USB HD when I had that hang. This was a few releases ago though. | 23:35 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: i know that the servers are loaded, but i still have my suspicions about at&t -- call me a conspiracy theorist if you will | 23:35 |
zeus | Ok FishFace, I'll try disconnecting all my other USB stuff too. But I'm installing from an USB stick though | 23:36 |
mouth1 | hi, for some reason ubuntu shows that i have 3.7 GB of RAM but i have 4 GB | 23:36 |
FishFace | Ooooooo | 23:36 |
mouth1 | i run ubuntu 12.04 64 bit | 23:36 |
mouth1 | does anyone know why that is? | 23:36 |
Lowkee | Right guys, I'll give installation another whirl. I'll resize the 2TB drive down to make space for ubuntu on the 2TB, and I'll see what happens. Is it possible to config GRUB after installation from Windows, if I cannot boot into Ubuntu? | 23:36 |
Stereocaulon | mouth1, are you running on a laptop which may share some memory for the GPU? | 23:36 |
mouth1 | Stereocaulon, no desktop with ATI GPU | 23:37 |
mouth1 | maybe the details in the system settings aren't good? | 23:37 |
mikubuntu | Jordan_U: whenever i download versions for my evangelistic work turning ppl on to linux/ubuntu the speed is always slow, whether or not its at release time -- that's why i say it. | 23:37 |
mouth1 | is there a terminal command to check how much ram you have? | 23:37 |

alexfpms | kreos818, and it works with Ubuntu 12.04 ? | 23:39 |
mikubuntu | yipes, Lirth, so you have a Terabyte hd? :) | 23:39 |
MrKeuner | Stereocaulon, it is weird, there may be a problem with my LAN, printer prints its settings as ip acquired from dhcp and the wireless link is up | 23:39 |
Jordan_U | Lirth: What do you mean by "installation from Windows"? Are you talking about Wubi? | 23:39 |
Lirth | Jordan_U: warns me that any /etc or /lib things will be removed. Will I lose my /home | 23:40 |
Lmce | mouth1: disregard... was busy not paying attention | 23:40 |
Jordan_U | Lirth: No, you will not. | 23:40 |
mouth1 | Lmce, do you know a command to check how much ram you have? | 23:40 |
Lirth | Jordan_U: I really hope not | 23:40 |
Lmce | lshw prbly | 23:40 |
Lowkee | Jordan: I'm assuming that was directed at me? If so, I dropped a comma. "Is it possible to config GRUB after installation, from Windows, if I cannot boot into Ubuntu?" | 23:40 |
Stereocaulon | MrKeuner, good luck with your LAN. I really need to sleep. Sorry. | 23:41 |
kreos818 | alexfpms: I don't know, I have only applied it to 11.04 and 11.10 | 23:41 |
Jordan_U | Lowkee: Yes, but what you really want to do is configure grub from a LiveCD/USB. | 23:42 |
MrKeuner | Stereocaulon, no problem, thank you very much for your insights | 23:42 |
Lowkee | Jordan: How do I go about that? | 23:42 |
Lowkee | Do you have a good guide to link to? | 23:42 |
Guest5769 | pisses me off that they are saying pangolin is a stable release when it obviously is not | 23:42 |
alexfpms | kreos818, i used a fix that worked too under 11.04 & 11.10 but now it doesn't work in my case | 23:42 |
Jordan_U | Lowkee: Not one specifically for UEFI, no. | 23:42 |
Grivvel | My CompizConfig settings don't seem to be doing anything after ugprading to 12.04. Anybody know why that might be or how I might fix it? | 23:43 |
Lmce | mouth1: cat /proc/meminfo | 23:43 |
mouth1 | thanks | 23:43 |
MirkoKa | Guest5769: IME ubuntu is never stable when the new version comes out. wait for 2 or 4 weeks. | 23:43 |
Lowkee | Jordan: Googling UEFI GRUB Ubuntu LiveCD would suffice? | 23:44 |
mouth1 | i don't get much out of the numbers | 23:44 |

JPeterson | i'd like to determine the depth level | 23:48 |
JPeterson | for example 1 level down from / | 23:48 |
Jordan_U | Lowkee: Follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot but before step #7 run "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi" (assuming that your EFI system partition is /dev/sda1) and between steps 10 and 11 run "apt-get install grub-efi-amd64". And for step 11 instead of "grub-install /dev/sdX" run simply "grub-install --removable" (no other arguments needed). | 23:49 |
MirkoKa | JPeterson: add the -s option | 23:49 |
rkyle | MirkoKa: Would you know how to fix the compiz issue? | 23:49 |
genger | i justed upraded to ubuntu 12.04 from 11.10 and because i had appmeu disabled the hud doesnt seem to work, how can i enable the appmenu back (i reinstalled appmenu + appmenu applet logged in and out restarted but nothing happened) | 23:49 |
Grivvel | MirkoKa: Ahhh, I've been trying to figure out why Compiz isn't working. Do you happen to have a source for it not working in 12.04 yet? (Or know when it's supposed to be working again?) | 23:50 |
Jordan_U | Lowkee: You'll probably need to "sudo mkdir /mnt/boot/efi/" before you run "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi". | 23:50 |
MirkoKa | JPeterson: if you really want to only go one level deep that I don't know another way as to use find -maxdepth together with du | 23:50 |
genger | i lost all the application menus :( | 23:51 |
JPeterson | MirkoKa: i want to show the recursive size, but only for the dirs directly under / | 23:51 |
