[00:00] <ztag100> if so, I think I just screwed that up
[00:00] <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
[00:01] <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
[00:02] <cleric_preston> clark: I know that, but what should I do?
[00:02] <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
[00:03] <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?
[00:04] <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
[00:05] <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
[00:06] <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> OK, so I have been fighting this for 2 days now.  Ubuntu installs fine but all I get is a black screen when trying to bootup.  Nothing seems to work and I really hope someone here can help me.
[00:07] <pkkid> Sorry if I sound a little frustrated, its just.. very frustrating when you can't even get to the grub menu.
[00:07] <gogeta> !grub | pkkid
[00:07] <pkkid> gogeta, I know what grub is.  The problem is Ubuntu wont even get that far.
[00:07] <johnjohn101> upgrading to 12.04 from 11.10
[00:07] <L3top> cocolos: other than what?
[00:08] <gogeta> pkkid: see restoring grub
[00:08] <cocolos> L3top: unetbootin
[00:08] <pkkid> gogeta, I tried the setting to chroot my drive, and fix it.. but it the commands do not work.
[00:08] <gogeta> pkkid: did it not install correctly
[00:08] <Fyodorovna> cleric_preston, using a live ubuntu cd download this script extract it to your desktop and run this command and pastebin the results text http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/     sudo bash ~/Desktop/bootinfoscript
[00:08] <L3top> there is the native startup disk creator
[00:09] <L3top> that might be something else in ubuntu though... I think that is kubuntu cocolos
[00:09] <cocolos> oh
[00:09] <L3top> one second
[00:09] <Fyodorovna> L3top, yeah and that is the name of it.
[00:09] <cocolos> ima try something else
[00:09] <pkkid> gogeta, SSo, the very first command on that link fails..
[00:09] <zak_> i need help
[00:10] <Fyodorovna> L3mce, oops thought you were asking.
[00:10] <smil3y> for 12.04 how in the world do you switch back to a normal desktop, like 10.04
[00:10] <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] <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
[00:11] <ztag100> Install is running now
[00:11] <smil3y> nice.  thanks
[00:11] <MonkeyDust> smil3y  i use classic, no eye candy, it's very fast
[00:11] <n00b> hello world!
[00:11] <zak_> I NEED HELP
[00:11] <gogeta> pkkid: why not try installin again
[00:11] <MonkeyDust> caps
[00:11] <smil3y> yea.  the "new" isnt bad, but.....  im not much for change..  you know
[00:11] <gogeta> pkkid: maybe a bad cd
[00:11] <zykotick9> smil3y: gnome-session-fallback (aka classic)
[00:11] <ztag100> zak_: not the best way to get it
[00:12] <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> pkkid: and grub fails everytime?
[00:12] <sw0rdfish> great so ubuntu 12.04 doesn't have wifi support?
[00:12] <gogeta> sw0rdfish: it does
[00:12] <pkkid> gogeta, I have yet to eve see a grub menu, pressing shift during boot  and all.
[00:12] <MonkeyDust> sw0rdfish  it does here
[00:13] <nwilson5> pkkid, do you get just a black screen
[00:13] <n00b> can u guys recommend me a software that i could use to change my grub menu
[00:13] <gogeta> pkkid: yea the menu whont apper on a full install it will just start up
[00:13] <smil3y> MonkeyDust,  not much for change here myself...  new isnt bad, but i like the same old
[00:13] <clark> gogeta i fixed my problem
[00:13] <nwilson5> i've been having issues with grub and my installation as well, though my install is far from standard
[00:13] <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.
[00:14] <zak_> may i please get help lol
[00:14] <gogeta> pkkid: press esc after bios ou should see it apper
[00:14] <clark> i had to uninstall gnome network-manager and use wicd instead. now my upload speeds are back to normal
[00:14] <clark> =)
[00:14] <nwilson5> yeah pkkid i've been having the same issue
[00:14] <pkkid> gogeta, I tried that, I tried pressing everything.. I tried booting about 100 times.
[00:14] <semitones_tea> can you still upgrade using the alternate cd?
[00:14] <gogeta> pkkid: or is it c
[00:15] <zak_> may i please get help??
[00:15] <MonkeyDust> zak_  help starts with a question
[00:15] <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?
[00:16] <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] <aristidesfl> is there a way of getting a md5 or cksum of a directory and his contents for comparison purposes?
[00:16] <gogeta> sw0rdfish: yesterday
[00:16] <MonkeyDust> sw0rdfish  april 26
[00:17] <sw0rdfish> wtf?
[00:17] <sw0rdfish> holy shitttttttt
[00:17] <gogeta> pkkid: md5 your iso see if its not cruppt
[00:17] <MonkeyDust> !language| sw0rdfish
[00:17] <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] <benjamindaines> what's the best way to do a screen color calibration in ubuntu?
[00:17] <pkkid> gogeta, MD5 the CD?  I am on a live CD just to get in that chat.. not so sure I can MD5 that?
[00:18] <gogeta> pkkid: md5 iso see if its good
[00:18] <Fyodorovna> pkkid, have you run a bootscript perchance?
[00:18] <sw0rdfish> gogeta, can I DOWNdate ... lol
[00:18] <elijah> hilikus: You mean make the change to .bashrc instead?
[00:18] <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.
[00:19] <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 ^^
[00:20] <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] <pkkid> gogeta, Basically it said it fixed everything, but then when I tried to boot, the bios says "No OS Found"
[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
[00:21] <gogeta> pkkid: during live cd and it will
[00:21] <gogeta> pkkid: any errors will get displayed there wile installing
[00:22] <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] <scwizard> then open edit -> preferences, go to the visualization tab and change the "Tonality" bar to either 0% or 100%. It's the one at the bottom. The change will affect also VLC as well as any other movie player you may decide to use (m-player, whatever).
[00:22] <scwizard> " <- what file is this changing such that it will effect other video players as well?
[00:22] <gogeta> pkkid: get my im
[00:22] <hilikus> elijah: i have no idea, there might be
[00:24] <nwilson5> pkkid, if you figure it out message me. :)
[00:25] <L3top> pkkid: If I might make a suggestion... backup what you need on this drive before proceeding, just in case, to get back where you are. I strongly recommend clonezilla.
[00:25] <cordyceps> anybody grok this message: snd_mixer_find_selem failed?
[00:26] <elijah> hilikus: k, thanks
[00:26] <ztag100> alright, it booted
[00:26] <ztag100> into ubuntu
[00:26] <ztag100> going to test windows now
[00:27] <hardy___^^> testing
[00:27] <ztag100> yup
[00:27] <ztag100> I broke it!
[00:27] <pkkid> L3top, Nothing on my machine is needed.  I keep everything in my Drobo or in Dropbox, thankfully. ;)
[00:27] <krababbel> ztag100: is it even in grub menu?
[00:27] <ztag100> clicking Windows 7 loader made it blink then go back to grub
[00:28] <L3top> pkkid: great. I misunderstood one of your messages or confused it with someone elses

[00:29] <deper29> hey, I recently installed backtrack on my ubuntu machine. Now when I boot into ubuntu, my splash image is weird colored. it is ubuntu surrounded in green. I took as best a picture I could here http://imgur.com/7PIH1
[00:29] <deper29> any way to fix that?
[00:29] <scwizard> "That fixed it for both programs which is strange, I never would have thought that a setting in Movie Player would effect VLC. Thank you so much!" <- what is the file being changed when the hue/saturation is changed in totem???
[00:30] <Fyodorovna> ztag100, you messed with the windows boot partiton correct?

[00:33] <sirriffsalot_> Hello guys! I have this pendrive that constantly becomes read-only... Is there any program that reads a ntfs/fat32 system as read/write??
[00:33] <newbie|2> Hey
[00:33] <newbie|2> woah wtf
[00:33] <linuxuz3r> ntfs is read only
[00:34] <linuxuz3r> you need ntfs g or something
[00:34]  * cordyceps backs out the door guns blazing
[00:34] <linuxuz3r> by the way linux can rw fat32
[00:34] <winball_> how do i know if ive succesfully connected to freenode using sasl ?
[00:35] <sirriffsalot_> linuxuz3r: Looking into it now, cheers:)
[00:35] <krababbel> ztag100: you need to restore the windows loader first!
[00:35] <sirriffsalot_> linuxuz3r: I already have the "ntfs-3g" installed according to synaptic..
[00:36] <noelito> Hi, on Ubuntu 12.04 I would like to disable the Ctrl+Alt+Delete Log Out keyboard binding using a terminal command. How can I do this?
[00:36] <whoever_> what i am thinking is that the vm will be like a speed bump and he will do what he should instead of just executing the file
[00:36] <caseymcgt> Intel GM45 performance sucks on 12.04 ... what happened?
[00:36] <linuxuz3r> oh
[00:36] <linuxuz3r> did you check your mtab
[00:36] <linuxuz3r> or fstab
[00:36] <linuxuz3r> /etc/fstab
[00:36] <linuxuz3r> /etc/mtab
[00:37] <linuxuz3r> they have mounting procedures of your drive
[00:37] <Guest37565> .
[00:37] <linuxuz3r> sirriffsalot_, you can specify there if you want read or write access
[00:37] <Fyodorovna> ztag100, from ubuntu download this script extract it to your desktop and run this command and pastebin the results text http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/     sudo bash ~/Desktop/bootinfoscript
[00:37] <Neal_> I have remote desplay on on virtualbox on port 3389 but when I connect to it from my laptop, it says can not connect.
[00:37] <Neal_> Can I find out if there's a firewall blocking or anything?
[00:37] <sirriffsalot_> linuxuz3r: where..?:)
[00:37] <linuxuz3r> if you cant still read or write to your flash drive then it may be a flash drive problem
[00:37] <ztag100> pastebin.com/Fu2fcxn
[00:37] <linuxuz3r> !mtab
[00:38] <Neal_> It's a server and I disabled ufw
[00:38] <Pi^2> Is there a way to somehow get packages from old repos? Ever since my upgrade to Precise, my music player hasn't been working due to the libraries used being removed
[00:38] <ZenGuy311> i have a vps , what software package can i use to stream video to a friend?
[00:38] <hilikus> Neal_: can you connect to anything in the guest OS?
[00:38] <ztag100> pastebin.com/Fuy2fcxN
[00:39] <ztag100> (sorry, messed up)
[00:39] <Neal_> hilikus: I haven't tried anything else yet
[00:39] <sarky> hi, has anyone else had problems with the sound in 12.04?
[00:39] <Neal_> hilikus: But to use internet on guest, I had to change my dns to Google's
[00:40] <hilikus> Neal_: i've never tried connecting to anything in a guest OS, but i don't think its a firewall problem. more like a networking problem
[00:40] <dakotawulfy> hi
[00:40] <Ubunter> Is there an app or something installed to access my windows partition?
[00:40] <sirriffsalot_> Ubunter: you can find it by just accessing it in a file browser
[00:41] <hilikus> Ubunter: you should be able to see it with nautilus by default
[00:41] <ztag100> What do I do now to move grub to MBR and windows Boot loader to sda2?
[00:41] <dakotawulfy> can any one help me with the new vlc 2.0.1 ??
[00:42] <taxman> can vlc work in 12.04?
[00:42] <taxman> afaik, vlc is broken in 11.04 for long time
[00:42] <dakotawulfy> it has 2.0.1 in it
[00:42] <deper29> does anyone have a suggestion at best?
[00:42] <Fyodorovna> ztag100, you have inserted grub in the boot partition as you suggested you have, Wait for Jordan_U to get you fixed up.
[00:42] <nca> i7c: you there?
[00:43] <dakotawulfy>  was kida upset they changed the setting on the dvb
[00:43] <Fyodorovna> ztag100, do you also have a windows install or recovery disc?
[00:43] <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?
[00:44] <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.
[00:45] <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
[00:46] <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?
[00:47] <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
[00:48] <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??
[00:49] <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.
[00:50] <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?
[00:51] <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?
[00:52] <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""
[00:53] <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
[00:54] <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?
[00:55] <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?
[00:56] <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)??
[00:57] <ztag100> Does anyone have any ideas?
[00:57] <Klikini> !updatemanager
[00:57] <nwilson5> out of curiosity pkkid are you using one or two monitors
[00:58] <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???
[00:59] <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
[01:00] <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
[01:01] <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] <steemed> Having a problem running a script in Ubuntu 12.04. Here's the pastebin for what's happening: http://pastebin.com/VikrFyEG
[01:02] <pkkid> L3top: What do you mean where in the process?
[01:02] <syntroPi> spacebug- first scan after i plug in cable @ 2400dpi color
[01:02] <spacebug-> syntroPi: ok. photo?
[01:02] <dakotawulfy> if u hit the ecs  key that will bring up the screen without splash right ???
[01:02] <zacarias> Queops: I found it! Thanks
[01:02] <syntroPi> spacebug- on a intel p55 usb 2 chipset
[01:02] <L3top> pkkid I don't know if you have installed successfully or you are trying to again, I know only that you get no load of whatever you are trying to do.

[01:02] <syntroPi> spacebug-, yes photo res
[01:03] <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?
[01:04] <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
[01:05] <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] <Klikini> When booting after upgrading to 12.04 from 11.10, it stalls with the  ubuntu logo and the dots going.

[01:05] <spacebug-> syntroPi: btw, what do you mean by "colored columns ar enot sticky" ?
[01:05] <ztag100> Jordan_U: did you just say 54 bit?
[01:05] <ztag100> :P
[01:05] <syntroPi> spacebug- here i uploaded a image of 3 different first scans after usb connect: http://troll.ws/i/EgaP4L.png
[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.
[01:06] <pkkid> dakotawulfy: Nope wired mouse and keyboard.
[01:06] <Daekdroom> !multiarch
[01:06] <albian> Had lots of error messages re Unity-2d so "removed" it. Now cannot run Ubuntu except as a 2nd OS off my pendrive. Don't want to re-install and lose all my files
[01:06] <L3top> I could use team viewer I suppose... what version?
[01:06] <ztag100> NOOO!
[01:06] <steemed> lol
[01:06] <ztag100> I fail so hard
[01:06] <L3top> probably latest... I have a gazillion folks on 6... I dont want to upgrade
[01:06] <syntroPi> spacebug- the colored stripes on first scan appear on different columns...
[01:06] <L3top> lets see if we can just talk you through it pkkid
[01:06] <pkkid> L3top: I can install Vic or whatever is easier for you. im on a live cd. Lol.
[01:06] <pkkid> Ok
[01:07] <ztag100> now windows boots, but I still don't have grub installed on my MBR!
[01:07] <L3top> you on live boot now?
[01:07] <pkkid> Yes.
[01:07] <ztag100> Why do I fail so hard?1
[01:07] <sorts_of_problem> They are ready to let me hang up their computer, and wait two days no works, these guys will use Windows XP no copyright CD, if I test LiveCD, I must backup their data. Zero Hard Disk, there are a lot of virus, then Windows Vista break in mash
[01:07] <L3top>  pkkid lets go ahead and open nautilis and navigate to the drive
[01:08] <L3top> pkkid: press ctrl + l and it will show the path
[01:08] <echofish> Hello. How can I get teoretical ram speed and ram type e.g ddr2, without root access?
[01:08] <L3top> copy that into clipboard pkkid
[01:08] <pkkid> Yea it's media/guid.
[01:08] <ztag100> Now, how can I install grub?
[01:08] <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
[01:09] <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] <L3top> give me an idea as to error pkkid
[01:09] <ztag100> alright
[01:10] <HoNgOuRu> hi, I want to rollback to the classic gnome from gnome 3 and unity2d and all of that ****,

[01:10] <syntroPi> spacebug-, ok thats a good thing because then its more likely a driver initialising problem, maybe an uninitialised buffer or such?
[01:10] <pkkid-live> L3top, chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error
[01:11] <spacebug-> syntroPi: could be

[01:11] <HoNgOuRu> how do I rollback to gnome classic
[01:12] <Fyodorovna> HoNgOuRu, you have which release?
[01:12] <krababbel> ztag100: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1581099

[01:12] <taxman> 12.04?
[01:12] <HoNgOuRu> 12.04 and hate unity and gnome 3
[01:12] <zykotick9> HoNgOuRu: on 12.04 gnome-session-fallback is similar to gnome2
[01:12] <Fyodorovna> HoNgOuRu, you looked at gnome classic that is the closet to gnome 2 in ubuntu.
[01:12] <gogeta> pkkid-live: no just getting rdy for work
[01:13] <HoNgOuRu> I just want gnome like in the old days, like previous versions of redhat
[01:13] <taxman> gnome's gone in 12.04

[01:13] <dakotawulfy> hongouru  try xfce4 orsomething else
[01:13] <HoNgOuRu> dakotawulfy, I already did
[01:13] <syntroPi> spacebug- yeah they look exactly like those i get here, they will vanish on second scan and be on different columns for first scan after you replug cable
[01:13] <HoNgOuRu> but want gnome
[01:13] <hydrox24> HoNgOuRu: if it's not there as a fallback option, install gnome-panel
[01:13] <pkkid-live> gogeta, ok, thanks for your help.  Nope, no luck yet, but L3top is helping me get through some commands.
[01:13] <HoNgOuRu> hydrox24, roger that!
[01:13] <pkkid-live> gogeta, Have a good day at work.. lol :D
[01:13] <dakotawulfy> well u could try cinnamon kinda close to it

[01:13] <spartan2276> How can I apply the Wacom Tablet Config settings?
[01:13] <hydrox24> HoNgOuRu: Also, try out MATE, it's a gnome2-like desktop environment based on gnome3
[01:14] <L3top> pkkid-live is this a 64 bit version and a 32bit cd?
[01:14] <gogeta> pkkid-live: i guard a empty bulding all night i just watch movies
[01:14] <L3top> or ... some strange combo?
[01:14] <hydrox24> spartan2276: they are automatically applied when you change them.
[01:14] <HoNgOuRu> hydrox24, im writing down the name
[01:14] <HoNgOuRu> hydrox24, is it possible to delete unity and gnome 3 from apt-get ?
[01:14] <syntroPi> spacebug-, let me check
[01:15] <spacebug-> syntroPi: It could maybe also be not the driver but rather the scanner that makes something strange first time
[01:15] <pkkid> L3top: It's a 64 bit everything. i7 960 I think.
[01:15] <dakotawulfy> hongouru  gnome 2 not supported any more u have to move on
[01:15] <L3top> pkkid: I don't think your install went happy.
[01:15] <dakotawulfy>  or u will not have any thing that works
[01:15] <pkkid-live> L3top, lol yea, we tried installing many many times
[01:15] <steemed> L3top: thank you! I think ia32-libs should be default
[01:15] <walterwoj> Is there a version of ubuntu I can install on a jump drive that is fully updateable and doesn't use ghost partitions?
[01:16] <steemed> on 64 bit
[01:16] <hydrox24> HoNgOuRu: Gnome3 yes, unity not so sure (probably not a good idea anyway)
[01:16] <sorts_of_problem> regular Operating System patches and security updates from OS manufacturer, Toshiba, Sony Laptop. And some Fujitsu, Dell, Linux, no drivers, A very hard work to think, no salary, no work

[01:18] <hydrox24> what version of ubuntu are you using HoNgOuRu
[01:18] <IdleOne> HoNgOuRu: supposedly it looks and feels a lot like gnome classic
[01:19] <walterwoj> Fyodorovna: Perhaps it's not a ghost partition, I've read about some type of container they use for storage with these USB installs that is limited to 2GB and I would like to use my whole 32gb drive. for this.  It doesn't need to be readable by windows...

[01:19] <stephan> hello
[01:19] <sorts_of_problem> Never open email attachments or web-downloads that you are unsure of, that means I should use web email or Linux email server?
[01:19] <hydrox24> stephan: Hi!
[01:19] <L3top> pkkid-live thats weird. This reeks of cross versioning.
[01:20] <hydrox24> sorts_of_problem: I don't think we understand the context of what your saying.
[01:20] <stephan> I've installed the new 12.04 (kubuntu), does somebody know which kde3 repository I could add, so that I can use the old kmail?
[01:20] <pkkid-live> L3top, What do you mean?  That my PC might not be 64bit?
[01:20] <L3top> pkkid: this is the exact same disk you installed with right?
[01:20] <ztag100> sorts_of_problem: what did you need help with?
[01:20] <Jordan_U> walterwoj: Just install Ubuntu to the USB drive the same way you would to an internal drive.
[01:20] <stephan> or should I ask in kubuntu?
[01:20] <Fyodorovna> walterwoj, I think what your referencing is a iso loaded usb, with a 32 gig do a full install, way better then the iso loads for install.
[01:20] <pkkid-live> L3top, I am pretty sure it's 64 bit as I have 12GB of ram.   Was able to see all 12 in my windows install.
[01:20] <sorts_of_problem> I should let email remain in mail server in a large company, Linux not very perfect in hardware driver, not absolutely
[01:21] <L3top> pkkid: more like installed version of ubu is 64 and your disk is 32
[01:21] <L3top> pkkid: the pae kernel will see large ram too... one second
[01:21] <HoNgOuRu> hydrox24, 12.04

[01:21] <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] <hydrox24> if your first language isn't english, try joining the #ubuntu-{LANGUAGE TWO LETTER CODE} channel for your language.

[01:23] <Fyodorovna> walterwoj, you want multiboots for install? or to use?
[01:24] <pkkid-live> L3top, My motherboard is: 1 x ASUS P6X58D-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
[01:24] <hydrox24> sorts_of_problem: if your first language isn't english, try joining the #ubuntu-{LANGUAGE TWO LETTER CODE} channel for your language.
[01:24] <pkkid-live> L3top, uname -a: Linux ubuntu 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 20:39:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[01:24] <pkkid-live> L3top, NOTE: THat is on my live-cd boot
[01:24] <sorts_of_problem> Turn data backup use large companies format, open office to excel, thinking reliability, and use NTF file format, then restore
[01:25] <L3top> pkkid-live yes... and uname -m produces i686
[01:25] <walterwoj> Fyodorovna: I want to have ubnutu and backtrack and maybe a couple recovery disks avail in a bootloader on the usb, but I want to have ubuntu and backtrack as full updatable installs.
[01:25] <syntroPi> spacebug- which version of ubuntu are you running?
[01:25] <pkkid-live> L3top, i686 = 64bit?
[01:25] <Jordan_U> walterwoj: What OSs do you want to install to this USB drive other than Ubuntu?
[01:26] <walterwoj> Ubuntu and bakctrack-linux
[01:26] <taxman> this is mine: Linux ubuntu 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 20:39:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[01:26] <HoNgOuRu> I did a apt-get remove gnome-*
[01:26] <taxman> HoNgOuRu, why?
[01:26] <HoNgOuRu> let's see what It brakes... lol
[01:26] <Fyodorovna> walterwoj, not sure about having full installs that boot and recoveries that as well, can be done by looping the ISO's probably
[01:27] <HoNgOuRu> I will try LXDE
[01:27]  * taxman kicks chinese
[01:27] <ztag100> Just to double check
[01:27] <sorts_of_problem> CAD software in Linux, use a server, cluster, programming, many work time.
[01:27] <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?
[01:28] <Fyodorovna> walterwoj, there are some great multiboot clients you might consider having two thumbs backtrack is not for ful instal really.
[01:28] <L3top> pkkid: x86_64 is 64, i6/386 is 32...
[01:28] <taxman> Jordan_U, if you don't understand, that message is not for you
[01:28] <HoNgOuRu> removing like 500 mb of data
[01:29] <pkkid-live> L3top, thanks, just wanted to be clear.  So its not a x32 PC and x64 OS issue.
[01:29] <albian> Please, Is there anyine free to help me out ?
[01:29] <pkkid-live> L3top, lol perhaps I just need ot go back to windows. :(
[01:29] <taxman> HoNgOuRu, lol, it saves a lot of space on a usb stick
[01:29] <ejv> !patience | albian
[01:29] <L3top> pkkid:  this only means that the live version is 64. I again do not know what you have installed or installed from
[01:29] <pkkid-live> I would hate to do that tho
[01:29] <Fyodorovna> albian, ask your support question and we wil al see.
[01:30] <albian> HELP :( I Had lots of error messages re Unity-2d so "removed" it. Now cannot run Ubuntu except as a 2nd OS off my pendrive. Don't want to re-install and lose all my files
[01:30] <ejv> Fyodorovna: he already did :p
[01:30] <walterwoj> Ok, Jordan_U I'll try that. Fyodorovna, I just don't want to have to store my scripts and stuff for bactrack on yet another drive.  Thanks you both.
[01:30] <L3top> pkkid-live: we definitely dont need to do that...
[01:30] <pkkid-live> L3top, I installed from this same live CD.
[01:30] <L3top> ok... lol.. I asked that several times...
[01:30] <L3top> one second
[01:30] <albian> Thanks
[01:30] <pkkid-live> Sorry, I missed them.. :(
[01:30] <L3top> lemme install team viewer pkkid-live.
[01:30] <mrdeepuvc> i need to know which is the best youtube downloader or incase any web flv from any webpage iam using firefox
[01:30] <pkkid-live> L3top, OK thanks.
[01:30] <taxman> i am using the live dvd of 12.04
[01:30] <ra21vi> I just upgraded to 12.04 and I need to know if I can remove TLP (to save battery on laptop). I have Dell XPS 15z and with 11.10 I was getting it hotter and battery draining. After reading some articles online, I installed it.
[01:31] <mrdeepuvc> i need to know which is the best youtube downloader or incase any web flv from any webpage iam using firefox
[01:31] <dakotawulfy> can any one help me with the new vlc settings ???
[01:31] <ejv> dakotawulfy: try being more specific, what *exactly* are you trying to accomplish?
[01:31] <dakotawulfy> cant watch tv on my new install of 12.04
[01:31] <taxman> mrdeepuvc, you don't need extra apps to download youtube videos
[01:32] <mrdeepuvc> hows that possible
[01:32] <ejv> dakotawulfy: so what have you tried, what have you not tried, what hardware are you using, what digital hookups are you using, etc. specifics!
[01:32] <Fyodorovna> ztag100, you want grub in the mbr yes no partition number.
[01:32] <mrdeepuvc> how to download
[01:32] <taxman> mrdeepuvc, the tools for linux is a bit obsolete
[01:32] <mrdeepuvc> are u say no tools
[01:32] <mrdeepuvc> ?
[01:32] <taxman> mrdeepuvc, there is a way is cross-platform
[01:32] <ra21vi> mrdeepuvc: you can use free services online, like keepvid.com
[01:33] <taxman> mrdeepuvc, youtube downloader is good only for windows
[01:33] <ejv> youtube downloader sounds like the possibility of infringement, where are the ops :)
[01:33] <mrdeepuvc> taxman one more thing iam planning to go abroad i would like to install a video chat
[01:33] <mrdeepuvc> on ubuntu
[01:33] <taxman> i won't use keepvid, you need java to work
[01:33] <frotzed> mrdeepuvc, what about Skype?
[01:33] <mrdeepuvc> taxman one more thing iam planning to go abroad i would like to install a video chat on ubuntu need
[01:33] <dakotawulfy> mrdeepuvc get download helper for firefox
[01:34] <mrdeepuvc> other than that
[01:34] <sorts_of_problem> Windows, Macintosh, Linux OS UNIX backbone, Email, Leave a message, free 800, fill mobile form, Yahoo Messenger, Gtalk, Web Microsot messenger
[01:34] <Fyodorovna> mrdeepuvc, I use a FF plugin called video download helper
[01:34] <ra21vi> taxman: thats specific to person and person. I don't hate any program or software till my work is done
[01:34] <ejv> what pray tell is linux os unix backbone lol
[01:34] <taxman> mrdeepuvc, i can still download youtube videos on ubuntu without java
[01:35] <ra21vi> taxman: how? youtube-dl
[01:35]  * taxman giggles
[01:35] <ra21vi> taxman: miro? totem?
[01:35] <taxman> no, just a simple ff
[01:35] <taxman> no plug-ins
[01:35] <albian> Lordy now this laptop is behaving oddly, I think I'm cursed
[01:35] <ra21vi> taxman: :) I can download using Python, but thats not I should say to someone who asks "How to download video"
[01:36] <ztag100> FINALLY!!!
[01:36] <ztag100> WOOWAH!
[01:36] <thephantom> I backed up a drive using ddrescue. How can I be sure I have a good backup before I erase the original drive?
[01:36] <ztag100> I HAVE DUAL BOOT!
[01:36] <frotzed> ztag100, grats
[01:36] <taxman> awesome
[01:36] <Lint> does Precise use Network Manager?
[01:36]  * taxman gives ztag100 a beer
[01:37] <HoNgOuRu> apt-get autoremove gnome* .... LOL
[01:37] <frotzed> thephantom, in my opinion the only real way to test a backup is to actually test it on a bare drive/fresh install
[01:37] <taxman> yes
[01:37] <taxman> it's the same
[01:37] <woo> purge gnome
[01:38] <ra21vi> any awesome dock app available? I am using Docky but I want more feature, more awsomeness :)
[01:38]  * ztag100 holds onto for 5 more years when I reach the legal drinking age ;)
[01:38] <Fyodorovna> woo, come again?
[01:38] <sorts_of_problem> Post video in a list, Linux server, ubuntu view WWW, click video, just course, then Yahoo Messenger, Gtalk video meeting.
[01:39] <thephantom> Frotzed, I don't think that's a possibility, the drive I cloned is failing and can't be written to
[01:39] <thephantom> Not sure I could make a partition large enough anywhere else either
[01:39] <HoNgOuRu> is there any way to rollback to ubuntu 11.10 from 12.04 ?
[01:40] <taxman> ...
[01:40] <enyawix> what is up with the booting into a system with no video of any kind not even in virtual terminal?
[01:40] <pkkid-live> nwilson5, you get anywhere yet?
[01:40] <woo> sudo apt-get purge gnome should do it for Hong
[01:40] <Lint> does Precise use Network Manager?
[01:40] <taxman> i think, ubuntu is like debian. upgrade is an one-way ticket - Nine Muses
[01:40] <HoNgOuRu> woo what's the difference ?
[01:40] <taxman> Lint, yes, i said
[01:41] <Fyodorovna> HoNgOuRu, you can't rollback.
[01:41] <Fyodorovna> woo, stop posting garbage.
[01:41] <taxman> Lint, i am running living dvd of 12.04 with unity
[01:41] <Lint> !who > taxman
[01:42] <woo> read that purge is best.  Fyodorovna dont harass me.
[01:42] <HoNgOuRu> woo, too late
[01:42] <abs> hi. someone do the trigger thingy on me that tells me how to upgrade from 12.04 beta2 to current
[01:42] <frotzed> thephantom, I suppose what I'm suggesting is that you have a spare HDD that you test the backup upon, before you erase the other disk
[01:43] <abs> it was like sudo apt-get update && dist-upgrade something
[01:43] <Fyodorovna> woo, I'm not hassling you your not using nics and posting advice that is damaging.
[01:43] <HoNgOuRu> let's say I only want ubuntu without any window manager , what would do the trick ?
[01:43] <taxman> ahh?
[01:43] <woo> he was trying to remove gnome
[01:43] <taxman> ubuntu server?
[01:43] <Fyodorovna> woo, that comand will not remove gnome.
[01:44] <Fyodorovna> *command
[01:44] <ztag100> Now, how can I hide partitions in the "Devices" area of Nautilus?
[01:44] <HoNgOuRu> taxman, I have a mess with packages from xfce gnome kde everything, want to take out all, and try lxde
[01:44] <woo> really?
[01:44] <Lint> HoNgOuRu, remove kde libraries
[01:44] <woo> im going to try it
[01:45] <HoNgOuRu> Lint, issue the command please.
[01:45] <abs> it was like sudo apt-get update && dist-upgrade something :D
[01:45] <abs> hi. someone do the trigger thingy on me that tells me how to upgrade from 12.04 beta2 to current <- yes please?
[01:45] <Lint> don´t remebebr, it´s something like kde4base & co.
[01:46] <Fyodorovna> woo, it wont bremove all the dependencies gnome is a desktop manager look at the psychocats website on removing gnome or ubuntu desktops
[01:46] <taxman> afaik, there is an entry in the package manager
[01:46] <HoNgOuRu> Ill restart and see what happened.... wish me good luck.... I uninstalled like 1 GB of data from all the window managers....
[01:46] <ra21vi> isn't postgis2 available with latest ubuntu?
[01:47] <Lint> mate is a laughable attempt to piggyback on gnome, it is not very useful and totally not maintenable
[01:48] <taxman> ra21vi, no, i can't see it in the software center
[01:48] <woo> well he tried all the other apt gets so why would purge be more harmful than remove?
[01:48] <simonp> any idea when http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts is gonna be updated with precise? do-release-upgrade won't upgrade lucid to precise atm...
[01:49] <keithclark> I have no microphone on my EMachines netbook any more after the upgrade to 12.04.  Any ideas?
[01:49] <Fyodorovna> woo, it doesn't remove the whole meta package basically.
[01:49] <Fyodorovna> woo, niether does remove unless you point it at the wholle package
[01:50] <theborger> ok need some ideas here, I have a Wyse V50, what version of ubuntu can i get on this thing. specs are low 128mb of ram and have to run off an external drive
[01:50] <melengo> helllo

[01:50] <Lint> theborger, any will run, but will be absolutely unusable

[01:51] <theborger> ailton: install it the way you allways have, go download the nvidia driver
[01:51] <melengo> apt-get
[01:51] <taxman> ra21vi, i can't trust ppa packages

[01:54] <mrdeepuvc> need to know any way to setup radius server ?
[01:54] <mrdeepuvc> need to know any way to setup radius server ?
[01:54] <koffel> hello
[01:54] <ra21vi> taxman: i found one, but yes, I am also not trusting if that is stable enough. They says many features are not available in their nightly build.
[01:54] <ra21vi> koffel: yes sir
[01:54] <IdleOne> mrdeepuvc: do you see your question on your screen 5 times in two minutes?
[01:55] <koffel> can some one help me set a dhcp server ?
[01:55] <sorts_of_problem> flash edit, video edit, CAD, hard to learn linux software, no educate, training not exist, can't understand
[01:55] <J2|QK> Quick issue. I have two monitors, and i have also already installed the additional proprietary drivers. When i go to Display, it says unknown, and only shows me one monitor. This is strange because it worked fine in 11.X. I am now on 12.04 LTS. Any advice would be appreciated.
[01:56] <abs> wow, itś pretty fucking ridiculous that resizing a window is so damn hard. When I hover hover the border I activate the scrollbar... it takes like a surgeon's precision to have my cursor be the resize one.
[01:56] <bazhang> abs no cursing here
[01:56] <abs> bazhang: sorry, i apologize :(
[01:56] <ra21vi> koffel: plz refer this doc : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/dhcp3-server
[01:57] <ra21vi> abs: you can install some othe theme. Probably that will help
[01:57] <ailton> theborger: was resolved the error with ubuntu?
[01:57] <ra21vi> abs: or buy a high magnification glass, just I did
[01:58] <airtonix> getting double framerate & audio speed with html5 youtube videos on 11.10 and google chrome... changing to normal flash video causes yuv to be incorrect any ideas ?

[01:59] <ztag100> If I don't want linux to mount a partition, for <mount point> can I add none ?
[01:59] <Tide> Hey ubuntu I updated to 12.04 today and now i can't connect to the web is this a known problem
[02:00] <mysteriousdarren> Tide: connect how?
[02:00] <J2|QK> Tide, wifi or ethernet?
[02:00] <Tide> Wifi
[02:00] <theborger> ztag100: what you just asked makes no sense
[02:00] <Tide> Should i reset the router?
[02:00] <J2|QK> I use wifi and have no issues. Maybe it uses proprietary driverrs?
[02:00] <Tide> Yeah perhaps
[02:00] <J2|QK> What model adapter do you have
[02:01] <Tide> Its a wifi usb adapter
[02:01] <J2|QK> Right
[02:01] <theborger> ailton: i only see an issue from a few people, have you tried istallling it? or use the drm version?
[02:01] <rfm> ztag100, just delete the line (or comment it out if you might want to go back)
[02:01] <J2|QK> What model
[02:01] <J2|QK> Like, mine is a Linksys WUSBGv2
[02:01] <Tide> Treadnet 300 mbs usb?
[02:01] <abs> how can I see my distro on commandline by the way? (so, what would I do get to the response "Ubuntu 12.04" etc.)?
[02:02] <IdleOne> abs: lsb_release -a
[02:02] <J2|QK> Looks like this Tide ? http://www.trendnet.com/image/products/photo/TEW-664UB_d1_1.jpg

[02:02] <Tide> Highgain wireless sb adapter
[02:02] <Tide> Tl-wn722n
[02:02] <abs> IdleOne: if I'm using 12.04 beta 2, for example, would it say that?
[02:03] <IdleOne> abs: it won't say beta 2 part no
[02:03] <abs> (because I am, and it doesn't say that, it just says 12.04)
[02:03] <IdleOne> right
[02:03] <Tide> I just got it working
[02:03] <abs> alright, fair enough :)
[02:03] <Tide> Lol..needed a replug..
[02:03] <ra21vi> is there any better alternative of docky, with more features and better integration
[02:04] <Tide> So 12.04 is officially supported in this channel?
[02:04] <abs> sorry to repeat myself, but: I installed emacs.. and I've got the icon in the little bar thing -- however, I use emacsc daemon (and emacsclient),--  how can I have the icon execute 'emacsclient -a ""' instead of 'emacs'?

[02:11] <onats> hi guys, i have a bare machine here, which I'm planning to use as a mini server for a small office. I plan to use virtualization on it. Which is the best virtualization tool to use on ubuntu?
[02:11] <hydrox24> from 2008/9 I think
[02:12] <RichardRaseley> How can I update Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Beta 2 (Desktop 64 Bit) to the final release?
[02:12] <Syliss> hydrox24: unibody?
[02:12] <hydrox24> onats: "Zen" is designed for that.
[02:12] <ozzloy> how do i reset the idle timer in ubuntu 12.04?
[02:12] <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"
[02:13] <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?
[02:14] <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
[02:15] <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
[02:16]  * Dawn262 is holding her breath waiting for alusion 's report...

[02:30] <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
[02:31]  * Dawn262 huggles alusion.  
[02:31] <Dawn262> Thanks
[02:31] <alusion> I'm going to just chill on Gnome classic for the time being =3
[02:31] <Dawn262> does the switcher work right?
[02:31] <harold> hey guys, I having to do these three lines in my command line in order to have capslock be the control key: https://pastee.org/tmudc
[02:31] <alusion> yea
[02:32] <harold> what can I do so that I don't have to keep doing this EVERYTIME I turn on my laptop!
[02:32] <Dawn262> excellent   thanks again for getting back
[02:32] <harold> np
[02:32] <alusion> ^_^
[02:33] <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?
[02:34] <harold> Launcher! I guess?
[02:34] <Fyodorovna> harold, unity panel?
[02:35] <taxman> my 12.04 has no luncher
[02:35] <harold> well, whatever it is, any idea how I can get to its config options or something? Because I want to change the behavior of some icons
[02:35] <dakotawulfy> can someone help me witha vlc setting
[02:35] <Fyodorovna> harold, the ccsm has some stuf in the unity plugin
[02:35] <[Bart]> real radio:  http://www.c-dance.be/radio-popup.php
[02:36] <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?
[02:37] <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
[02:38] <ubuntu606> has anyone noticed the performance difference between 12.04 and previous releases??
[02:38] <xmrk> not really
[02:39] <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
[02:40] <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
[02:41] <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)
[02:42] <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] <ztag100> Hey, I want to get rid of the /home and instead ake it a symbolic link to a different directory
[02:42] <ztag100> make*
[02:43] <bazhang> ztag100, why would you ever consider doing that
[02:43] <dakotawulfy> bazhang well tryed the room but was not able to get in
[02:43] <bazhang> !register | dakotawulfy
[02:43] <ztag100> bazhang: So it can be on a different partition
[02:44] <athetius> ztag100: Just set the other patition to mount at /home
[02:44] <bazhang> !home | ztag100 like this?
[02:44] <ztag100> I don't want to mount the whole partition though
[02:44] <bazhang> dakotawulfy, /join #freenode for help with registering
[02:45] <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'
[02:46] <ztag100> yes
[02:46] <ztag100> that's what I want
[02:46] <ztag100> can I do that?
[02:47] <athetius> ztag100: edit your /etc/fstab for the new partition to where ever, then link it.
[02:47] <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...
[02:48] <ztag100> nothing in the /hoe
[02:48] <Dawn262> try  /home
[02:48] <ztag100> :/
[02:48] <Dawn262> lol
[02:49] <athetius> ztag100: You might want a physical link instead of symbolic at which the command is "ln -P" instead of "ln -s"
[02:49] <athetius> Though I'm not sure if you can do that accross disks.
[02:49] <ztag100> what is the difference?
[02:50] <athetius> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/understanding-unixlinux-symbolic-soft-and-hard-links.html
[02:50] <athetius> ztag100: That link ^^^^

[02:51] <echofish> What can I do to get the sorting right and place java on top? http://codepad.org/eaUufweQ
[02:51] <ztag100> thanks
[02:51] <Dawn262> nice one athetius !
[02:52] <athetius> Thanks Dawn262
[02:54] <ztag100> pastebin.com/vVCAShvd
[02:54] <ztag100> that's my fstb right now
[02:55] <ztag100> what might be the deal with that?
[02:55] <ztag100> it isn't mounting right
[02:56] <athetius> ztag100: What is the fs for sda5?
[02:57] <ztag100> ?
[02:57] <athetius> ztag100: Filesystem, like ext4, btrfs, jfs, or vfat
[02:57] <ztag100> ah
[02:57] <ztag100> vfat
[02:58] <ztag100> (it's shared with a windows computer)
[02:58] <ztag100> I mean partition
[02:58] <ztag100> (dual boot_\
[02:58] <ztag100> )
[02:59] <violinappren>  !enter | ztag100
[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?
[03:00] <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?
[03:02] <athetius> ztag100: you can run "mount -a" as root (or use sudo)
[03:03] <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
[03:04] <athetius> escott: I thought the user option took care of that
[03:05] <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.
[03:06] <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 ?
[03:07] <athetius> ztag100: Also, add uid=1000,gid=1000 to your options as in "rw,user,uid=1000,gid=1000,auto"
[03:08] <ztag100> ok
[03:09] <ztag100> It says I can't hardlink accross file systems
[03:10] <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
[03:11] <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
[03:12] <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
[03:13] <ztag100> that's not my problem
[03:13] <ztag100> I'm trying hyq's solution
[03:15] <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
[03:16] <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> ?
[03:17] <athetius> escott: his other partition is windows, and he wants his home in that partition.
[03:18] <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
[03:19] <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
[03:20] <hyq> ztag100, symlink is a better idea
[03:20] <robinsch> hi
[03:20] <delfick> hi, how do I remove the drop shadow on the global menu in 12.04?
[03:20] <Ethyne> No one has an idea? okay
[03:20] <ztag100> ok, how can I undo the mount bind?
[03:21] <robinsch> anyone else expriencing issues with colord and gnome-settings-daemon in 12.04?
[03:21] <hyq> umount /another_home
[03:21] <jjmilne1> This release is pretty good, I'm just not sure if I fixed the login bug I was having or not. I guess I'll find out later
[03:22] <robinsch> experiencing*
[03:22] <jjmilne1> I ca n't consistantly recreate it
[03:22] <jjmilne1> Apparently doing unity --reset fixes it so we'll see.
[03:22] <cocolos> how can I install ubuntu on my drive with an osx machine
[03:22] <robinsch> the login bug? you talking about ubuntu logging out unexpectedly?
[03:22] <cocolos> thumbdrive
[03:22] <robinsch> jjmilne1: ?
[03:22] <ztag100> Could not update ICEauthority file /home/zmallah/.ICEauthority
[03:22] <jjmilne1> No, it's like when you try to log in the screen is black and all you see is the mouse
[03:23] <hiro24> hello. does anybody know anything about lightdm or unity-greeter bugs with 12.04 upgrades?
[03:23] <kyndig> I'm trying to install android-sdk. adb gives the error "... No such file or directory" The folder platform-tools is there, and adb is in it.
[03:23] <ztag100> when I try and login
[03:23] <jjmilne1> I looked it up and doing unity --reset apparently fixes it so we'll see.
[03:24] <robinsch> jjmilne1: unity --reset didn't work for me
[03:24] <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.
[03:25] <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
[03:26] <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
[03:27] <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] <Lazik> robinsch: had a look at the dmesg?
[03:27] <hiro24> 2 boxes, same result :(
[03:27] <scientes> what folder are the unity .desktop files in?
[03:27] <scientes> that appear in the left bar
[03:28] <ztag100> it's working again
[03:28] <robinsch> jjmilne1: maybe my hardware is faulty but i have upgraded ubuntu without issues from 8.04 to 11.04 without issues, i decided to do clean install this time
[03:28] <robinsch> Lazik: how do i do that
[03:28] <ztag100> deleted the file then restarted the computer
[03:28] <jjmilne1> Did you use x64 before as well?
[03:28] <Lazik> pop a terminal dmesg | less
[03:28] <kyndig> running now hyq
[03:29] <kvm> does 12.04 exist for PowerPC? preferably server i guess.
[03:30] <robinsch> Lazik: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=v2qbyGU1
[03:30] <varactor> i believe there are powerpc builds
[03:30] <linuxuz3r> whats the command for upgrading 11.10 to 12.04>
[03:30] <athetius> kvm: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
[03:31] <robinsch> Lazik: i don't know what to make of it
[03:31] <kyndig> exit
[03:32] <kyndig> ooops... wrong screen
[03:32] <ztag100> can you make a home partition on a vfat?
[03:32] <athetius> ztag100: yes
[03:33] <ztag100> Alright
[03:33] <HBX> anyone know how to disable error reporting?
[03:33] <ztag100> So, If I mount the partition as home
[03:33] <ztag100> can I still edit the rest of the directory or will it belong to root?
[03:33] <ztag100> can I chown it?
[03:34] <athetius> ztag100: /Any/ filesystem can be /home. However, that doesn't mean without problems
[03:34] <robinsch> does anyone know why ubuntu just logs me out randomly?
[03:34] <ztag100> athetius: what type of problems?
[03:34] <linuxuz3r> whats the command for upgrading 11.10 to 12.04>
[03:34] <athetius> ztag100: You should be able to edit and chowin it
[03:34] <athetius> ztag100: Depends on the filesystem.
[03:34] <ztag100> vfat
[03:34] <escott> ztag100, i would disagree with athetius on that. having /home on anything that does not support unix permissions is a bad idea and WILL break applications
[03:35] <athetius> ztag100: http://superuser.com/questions/9480/should-i-use-vfat-or-ext3-for-a-1tb-external-usb-hard-drive
[03:35] <ztag100> so, what I want to do, is a bad idea?
[03:35] <Fat-Thing> http://paste.ubuntu.com/951490/ <---- can someone explain why i got to bash apps running? and what are those getty stuffs?
[03:35] <robinsch> i was encrypting my home dir as it says in installer maybe that causes ubuntu to log off, so i reinstalled ubuntu without encryptfs
[03:36] <robinsch> but i still have same issue

[03:37] <Grecoo> hi
[03:37] <ztag100> ?
[03:37] <athetius> ztag100: It's a matter of choice, honestly
[03:37] <abs> umm... guys, when I play youtube videos or something the colors are off. Human skin is always like blue... whatś going on here?
[03:38] <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 ?
[03:39] <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
[03:40] <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
[03:41] <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
[03:42] <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.
[03:43] <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] <Devden> !list
[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?
[03:44] <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
[03:45] <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
[03:46] <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.
[03:47] <Huang> ztag100, ln -s /another_dir /home/your_name
[03:47] <Stelpa> thanks, i think i'm finally getting the hang of basic linux, thanks to ubuntu :3
[03:47] <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
[03:48] <hollenjf> how do I specify the username with command line ftp?
[03:48] <Lint> why unity-indicator-network conflicts with network manager
[03:48] <Lint> hollenjf, user@host
[03:48] <mogaj> _config.yml file --- http://paste.ubuntu.com/951511/
[03:49] <athetius> roasted: ya, but I guess you could do a git of your ENTIRE OS, and that would be the same xD
[03:49] <ztag100> that's my plan
[03:49] <varactor> mcdonc, do you have a slice battery?
[03:49] <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.
[03:49] <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
[03:50] <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
[03:51] <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
[03:52] <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] <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
[03:53] <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
[03:54] <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 ?
[03:55] <anand> what does pppd-dns service does?
[03:55] <ztag100> escott: that's what I'm looking to do
[03:56] <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] <HoNgOuRu> can anybody help me?
[03:57] <LeonBanks> ?
[03:57] <HoNgOuRu> everything in my desktop is huge, windows, fonts everything although Im running the correct resolution 1680x1050
[03:57] <athetius> HoNgOuRu: what's the problem?
[03:57] <ztag100> ah
[03:57] <ztag100> so, I can't make an alias for a directory?
[03:57] <Guest68118> I'm having some issues using apt-get and dpkg after a server upgrade. Maybe I need to switch the kernel version? Here's the output I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/951519/
[03:58] <varactor> HoNgOuRu, are you coming over from windows?
[03:58] <HoNgOuRu> no...
[03:58] <YaoPiesie> Varactor - how do I do this?
[03:58] <roasted> Question - I deleted my vinagre bookmarks, but I'm still seeing an entry under "bookmarks". Does vinagre by chance populate entries based on it detecting available remote desktop sessions? I can't figure out why that entry is there...
[03:58] <pepee> YaoPiesie, try removing libtinfo5 (don't force it)
[03:58] <HoNgOuRu> I tried lxde and that's what I want, everything is smaller
[03:58] <killown1> its easy to setup raid 5 on ubuntu 12.04?
[03:59] <robinsch> what should i google to get help with ubuntu logging me off unexpectedly?
[03:59] <killown1> software raid
[03:59] <escott> !alternate | killown1
[03:59] <pepee> HoNgOuRu, you can change the desktop settings by right clicking in the desktop
[03:59] <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.
[04:00] <HoNgOuRu> pepee, no, you dont understand...im running the correct display resolution
[04:00] <robinsch> escott: ahh
[04:00] <robinsch> escott: thanks
[04:00] <killown1> escott, the desktop live cd doesn't support raid 5 setup?
[04:00] <escott> killown1, no
[04:00] <YaoPiesie> I will try to remove libtingo5
[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.
[04:01] <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
[04:02] <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] <HoNgOuRu> nos lxde
[04:02] <escott> robinsch, and thats where the support ends. sorry
[04:02] <robinsch> escott: i think version 295.40
[04:02] <HoNgOuRu> not lxde, I said that I tried lxde and that was the way I wanted normal ubuntu to be
[04:02] <pepee> HoNgOuRu, ahh sorry
[04:02] <varactor> HoNgOuRu, have you tried checking the x.org config?
[04:02] <robinsch> escott: oh
[04:03] <SOrono> ??
[04:03] <ulkesh> oddly, my desktop has no right click menu on the unity desktop in 12.04...anyone have that issue or know how to fix it?
[04:03] <HoNgOuRu> varactor, what should I be looking for ?
[04:03] <dr3mro> how to ubuntu 12.04 with btrfs /lzo compression ?
[04:03] <varactor> HoNgOuRu, maybe a dpi setting
[04:03] <robinsch> escott: but nouveau can't play hd videos
[04:03] <HoNgOuRu> varactor, I think that would be this case
[04:03] <robinsch> escott: without lag
[04:03] <HoNgOuRu> varactor, how do I change that ?
[04:03] <varactor> HoNgOuRu, I've been spoiled for a long time, i havent had to mess with x for years
[04:04] <escott> robinsch, this is why i dont buy their hardware
[04:04] <pepee> HoNgOuRu, check the desktop manager settings
[04:04] <Brandi> every nick is registered lol
[04:04] <HoNgOuRu> pepee, how
[04:04] <Brandi> I have a question
[04:04] <robinsch> escott: is this issue only with current version?
[04:04] <robinsch> escott: it worked fine with last ubuntu
[04:04] <pepee> HoNgOuRu, lightdm, no? don't really know :/
[04:04] <escott> robinsch, im not the person to ask. nvidia proprietary = i dont know/i dont care
[04:04] <ulkesh> nevermind, nautilus had stopped somehow, simply running it worked to fix the right click menu on desktop
[04:05] <robinsch> escott: ok
[04:05] <Brandi> any reason with 12.04 my internet would be moving slow?
[04:05] <dougb_freebsd> HoNgOuRu: open up a terminal and type this:   xdpyinfo | grep dimensions
[04:05] <HoNgOuRu> how do I change the desktop dpi settings ?
[04:05] <varactor> Brandi, try disabling ipv6, i had that issue with suse a while back
[04:06] <john38> does precise pangolin 32 bit support pae
[04:06] <varactor> john38, yes
[04:06] <pepee> HoNgOuRu, http://askubuntu.com/questions/72486/can-i-pass-a-dpi-flag-to-lightdm-to-set-the-proper-dpi-for-x
[04:06] <Brandi> ok I'll try, it's taking forever >.<
[04:06] <HoNgOuRu> dimensions:    1680x1050 pixels (474x303 millimeters)
[04:06] <YaoPiesie> @pepee: the file does not exist
[04:06] <robinsch> escott: i get Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'! hmmm
[04:06] <schultza> does aptitude stop apt-get from downloading two things at once?
[04:07] <Fyodorovna> Brandi, are you upgrading?
[04:07] <escott> robinsch, you could try removing it and rerunning nvidia-settings
[04:07] <linuxuz3r> whats the command for upgrading 11.10 to 12.04?
[04:07] <dougb_freebsd> HoNgOuRu: that looks right .... maybe you have some sort of appearance settings that are telling it to magnify things?
[04:07] <Brandi> I just reinstalled today after about a year away
[04:07] <Brandi> using the new windows installer
[04:07] <TommyC> Hey guys, how do you set the user in ftp?
[04:08] <Fyodorovna> Brandi, is the slow net related to updating ubuntu?
[04:08] <pepee> YaoPiesie, in the console:  sudo apt-get remove libtinfo5
[04:08] <HoNgOuRu> dougb_freebsd, 90x88 dots per inch
[04:08] <ulkesh> HoNgOuRu, Not sure if it's the answer, but may help:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/59850/is-it-possible-to-change-font-dpi-in-11-04 (read the last response)
[04:08] <Brandi> you mean updating in progress or happening after the update?
[04:08] <pepee> YaoPiesie, don't force the removal...
[04:08] <TommyC> Hey guys, how do you set the user in ftp?
[04:08] <Fyodorovna> Brandi, during.
[04:09] <YaoPiesie> Thanks, pepee
[04:09] <Brandi> no, updates are done
[04:09] <YaoPiesie> When you say force, you mean,,,?
[04:09] <smw> TommyC, what does that mean?
[04:09] <varactor> are downloads and all that normal speed and just browsing slow?
[04:09] <dougb_freebsd> TommyC: someone already answered, so maybe you didn't see the answer, or you're trying to do something different?
[04:09] <Brandi> I have 6Mbps download speed and it took about 10 - 15 mins to download and install virtualbox
[04:09] <TommyC> dougb_freebsd: I just got here. ^^
[04:09] <AaronMT> Is it safe to upgrade 11.10 to 12.04?
[04:09] <Brandi> and browsing is slowed also
[04:09] <HoNgOuRu> ulkesh, Ill restart now, thank u
[04:09] <dougb_freebsd> TommyC: ok, so what are you trying to do?
[04:09] <ulkesh> Hope it works, HoNgOuRu
[04:10] <pepee> YaoPiesie, if there are too many packages to be removed, don't do it
[04:10] <robinsch> escott: can it be issue with unity or compiz?
[04:10] <TommyC> Login to an FTP server as a certain user (anonymous logins not allowd).
[04:10] <smw> AaronMT, yes, but it may put your computer out of commission for the night
[04:10] <escott> Brandi, wubi is going to be slower especially with disk access.
[04:10] <YaoPiesie> @pepee OK
[04:10] <smw> AaronMT, everyone is upgrading at the same time. There is only so much bandwidth ;-)
[04:10] <dougb_freebsd> TommyC: ftp user@host.domain
[04:11] <Brandi> :/ never had a problem before with it being THAT slow
[04:11] <TommyC> dougb_freebsd: Thank you. :)
[04:11] <dougb_freebsd> np
[04:11] <cocolos> so far I tried dd to install ubuntu on usb drive and still can't get it
[04:11] <cocolos> I got some error
[04:12] <pepee> cocolos, use unetbootin
[04:12] <cocolos> pepee: I tried that too
[04:12] <Brandi> I'll try disabling IPv6 and see if that helps
[04:12] <cocolos> pepee: it doesn't even boot up with unetbootin
[04:12] <pepee> cocolos, checked the bios boot options?
[04:13] <cocolos> yea usb boot is on
[04:13] <ulkesh> I so can't wait to see what all is supported when Steam comes to Linux (and here's hoping that Ubuntu is their primary development platform :) )
[04:13] <cocolos> pepee: I am on a mac do I have any other options…my pc doesn't have a cd drive
[04:13] <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
[04:14] <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...
[04:15] <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
[04:16] <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
[04:17] <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
[04:18] <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?
[04:19] <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
[04:20] <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?
[04:21] <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] <rigel> dougb_freebsd: that had fuckall to do with my question
[04:21] <rigel> so cram it, thanks
[04:21] <taxman> lol
[04:21] <gaelfx> thaaaaank you
[04:21]  * taxman kicks
[04:22] <dr_willis> todays example of how to not get help....  ;)
[04:22] <dougb_freebsd> .... and he wonders why no one was talking to him :)
[04:22] <varactor> just put on your cool face
[04:22] <taxman> paste your hot face to my cold ass
[04:23] <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
[04:24] <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] <Lint> gaelfx, that´s gnome 3 for you
[04:24] <churly> j
[04:25] <pepee> dr_willis, yeah, you are right
[04:25] <newtoarch> If a session fails to load, which log file should I check?
[04:25] <pepee> koffel, sudo sh -c 'echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward'
[04:25] <tridentfish> Hi
[04:25] <gaelfx> Lint: you mean unity?
[04:25] <gaelfx> dr_willis: do they require installing extra packages or selecting Ambiance for using a different theme?
[04:25] <Lint> gnome3 is managing gtk themes
[04:26] <dr_willis> gaelfx:  neverr really noticed.
[04:26] <gaelfx> dr_willis: well, I'll check instead of complaining :D
[04:26] <dr_willis> 'themes' have gotten to be a complex  part of the os th4ese days
[04:26] <joint> will i be able to play windows games in steam for linux?
[04:27] <tridentfish> I need to find ways to lower my cpu because I am scared that it will burn up. I am broke and using a acer aoa 150.
[04:27] <dr_willis> joint:  i imagine - no one knows at this time
[04:27] <linuxuz3r> try cedgga
[04:27] <linuxuz3r> joink, try cedega
[04:27] <HoNgOuRu> ulkesh
[04:27] <joint> gta 5
[04:27] <gaelfx> dr_willis: it's really unfortunate, I wish they would make it easier to customize one's desktop :S
[04:27] <HoNgOuRu> ulkesh
[04:27] <linuxuz3r> whats that
[04:27] <linuxuz3r> joink, whats gta 5
[04:28] <joint> the new grand theft auto coming out
[04:28] <HoNgOuRu> help please here is a screenshot of my desktop....huge and unusable http://imagepaste.nullnetwork.net/viewimage.php?id=3753
[04:28] <linuxuz3r> ill check
[04:28] <Guest19734> does the music lens only check played songs from rhythmbox?
[04:28] <linuxuz3r> is it available on pc?
[04:28] <Guest19734> is there a way for it to have the full library cached
[04:28] <joint> its not out yet
[04:28] <dr_willis> gaelfx:  given the times i see poeple in heree needingn help un-customizeing   to 'fix' their tweaks... im not worried about it much
[04:28] <linuxuz3r> i thought it is only in playstation
[04:28] <joint> naa
[04:28] <tailf> anyone know how to open up basic display preferences to adjust screen resolution etc in 12.04?
[04:28] <gaelfx> joint: I doubt steam will let you play windows games, especially the newer ones, but you might get lucky with Wine or Cedega
[04:29] <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] <dr_willis> joint for future ussage
[04:29] <HoNgOuRu> varactor, its aweful
[04:29]  * Batshua groans
[04:30] <gaelfx> really I just want to make a simple brown/green theme
[04:30] <HoNgOuRu> words are like 5 cms long
[04:30] <Batshua> How do I fix broken pacakges under 12.04?
[04:30] <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
[04:31] <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
[04:32] <dr_willis> Batshua:  the synaptic package manager is in the repos
[04:32] <Lint> why I cannot install monitor color profile?
[04:32] <dr_willis> !info synaptic
[04:32] <gaelfx> Batshua: when you search, you might have to click the show technical items link at the bottom
[04:32] <Batshua> I tried apt-get install synaptic and I got an error.
[04:32] <koffel> i am ready to throw this pc away
[04:32] <Batshua> "E: Unable to locate package synpatic"
[04:33] <ismarc_netbook> Batshua: Looks like a typo, but synaptic should already be installed
[04:33] <pepee> Batshua, "synpatic" ?
[04:33] <Batshua> OH.
[04:33] <Batshua> God, it is.
[04:33] <Batshua> >.<
[04:33] <dr_willis> synaptic is not installed by default i belive..
[04:33] <Batshua> My brain is autocorrecting again.
[04:33] <gaelfx> Batshua: definitely not any more anyways
[04:33] <Batshua> Lemme try that with the letters in the right order.
[04:33] <ztag100> shoot, now I can't sync android source
[04:33] <ztag100> something to do with noexec
[04:33] <pepee> dr_willis, what is the default package manager in ubuntu?
[04:34] <dr_willis> apt-get supports tab completion under ubuntus default shell setupo. ;)
[04:34] <Batshua> the stupid ubuntu software thing
[04:34] <Batshua> I don't like it.
[04:34] <dr_willis> pepee:  i use synaptic  or apt-get 99% of the time
[04:34] <sithfm> where is the inittab on 12.04??
[04:34] <Batshua> It's too shiny and kind of confusing.
[04:34] <Batshua> I like synaptic and apt-get
[04:34] <joint> how come the new amd/ati catalyst 12.4 linux drivers work on ubuntu 12.04.. but they dont work on kubuntu 12.04?
[04:34] <dr_willis> !inittab
[04:34] <Batshua> I knwo what I'm doing with them
[04:34] <gaelfx> is there a way to make it support tab completion after sudo?
[04:34] <pepee> dr_willis, I used to use aptitude... but no more :(
[04:34] <ztag100> why can't windows read ext4!
[04:34] <ztag100> arghfgdsf!
[04:35] <dr_willis> !ext3
[04:35] <gaelfx> ztag100: MS doesn't like competing standards
[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] <ztag100> If I can
[04:36] <dr_willis> ztag100:  check  www.fs-driver.org
[04:36] <Batshua> Oh hey, you guys are smart.
[04:36] <dougb_freebsd> ztag100: http://www.ext2fsd.com/
[04:36] <Lint> ztag100, yes, but it needs to be formated explicitly with 128-byte inodes
[04:36] <HoNgOuRu> it sucks !
[04:36] <Batshua> Uhm. My computer is inexplicably opening and closing the DVD drive tray
[04:36] <ismarc_netbook> Batshua: not smart enough...my touchpad is still broke
[04:36] <Batshua> Where would I find logs on that sort of thing ot figure out what the heckin' heck is going on?
[04:36] <Batshua> It's freaking me out, you guys.
[04:36] <gaelfx> ismarc_netbook: just at the end?
[04:37] <ismarc_netbook> gaelfx: yeah
[04:37] <Batshua> My computer isn't supposed to do things I didn't tell it to do!
[04:37] <pepee> HoNgOuRu, what is your problem? forgot it
[04:37] <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] <dr_willis> Batshua:  since when? take out that justin beiber cd....
[04:37] <Batshua> And uh… nobody does.
[04:37] <Batshua> dr_willis: Who's that?
[04:37] <ztag100> fat seems to be causing alot of issues in linux
[04:38] <dougb_freebsd> ztag100: if it is, you're doing it wrong :)
[04:38] <HoNgOuRu> pepee, things are too big
[04:38] <gaelfx> ismarc_netbook: it's all good, just opened a new terminal and tested
[04:38] <Batshua> Linux should lose weight?
[04:38] <dougb_freebsd> what problems are you seeing?
[04:38] <Batshua> Or maybe it should watch what it eats.
[04:38] <dr_willis> ztag100:  whats your exact issue and what are you trying to acomplish?
[04:38] <varactor> linux should take up smoking
[04:38] <ztag100> dougb_freebsd: I'm trying to sync android repos
[04:38] <YaoPiesie> Pepee, Varactor, thanks!
[04:38] <Batshua> dr_willis: It does it under a number of installs: Natty, Precise, and the bleeding edge Precise I'm running now.
[04:38] <pepee> YaoPiesie, you are welcome
[04:38] <YaoPiesie> The package is running now.
[04:39] <sithfm> where is the inittab on 12.04??
[04:39] <pepee> HoNgOuRu, change the font size?
[04:39] <dr_willis> sithfm:  i dont think there is one any  more... not been one for a long time
[04:39] <dr_willis> !inittab
[04:39] <ztag100> and, I need to do it on the fat partition, because it takes alot of space
[04:39] <HoNgOuRu> Im changing it and I think that it is fixing...
[04:39] <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
[04:40] <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
[04:41] <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
[04:42] <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
[04:43] <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
[04:44] <sithfm> pepee: thanks i'm just looking for getty
[04:44] <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
[04:45] <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] <ztag100> any linux filesystem that works in windows (natively)
[04:46] <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
[04:47] <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
[04:48] <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
[04:49] <ztag100> shrink to 50 then give 20 to ubuntu

[04:50] <bouma_> hello, when i logged on im told that  Irssi: Your nick is owned by Unknown
[04:50] <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.
[04:51] <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
[04:52] <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?
[04:53] <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] <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
[04:54] <aazcod1999> @caractor ok :D i got it working but when i get to the multiplayer/singleplayer/options screen it freezes?
[04:54] <MonkeyDust> !myunity
[04:54] <aazcod1999> varactor **
[04:54] <ra21vi> ismarc_netbook: yes I guessed so. Touch pad works, but i doubt with imps
[04:54] <dr_willis> not sure if its still setable or not any more
[04:54] <len_> Anyone have any idea what might have caused me to no longer be able to press ctr+alt+F-Key to start an text session after I upgraded to 12.04?
[04:54] <varactor> oh, hmm
[04:54] <MonkeyDust> !info myunity
[04:54] <CodeWar> Why innovate and break the unbroken, unity is such a disaster!!!
[04:54] <varactor> aazcod1999, i dunno D: mine worked fine once set up
[04:54]  * CodeWar goes off into the hills grumbling
[04:54] <dr_willis> CodeWar:  i considered it broken befor.. i always set it to never hide..
[04:54] <ra21vi> ismarc_netbook: any way to have native support for touchpad with Dell XPS 15z?
[04:55] <marksman> i need help installing wireless adapter
[04:55] <ismarc_netbook> ra21vi: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#Troubleshooting
[04:55] <ziad> back
[04:56] <ismarc_netbook> ra21vi: there's another place to look, /proc/bus/input/devices (cat or less the file) and search for an entry that has a handler of mouseN (such as mouse1 or mouse0)
[04:56] <varactor> anyone running a sandy bridge? using the intel graphics
[04:57] <ztag100> dougb_freebsd: So
[04:58] <ismarc_netbook> ra21vi: with any luck, that should get you on the right route to getting it recognized as a touchpad
[04:58] <asdfasdf> how can i reinstall ubuntu live to a usb stick without nuking the persistance changes tool? what windows tool has this feature?
[04:58] <scotty> HEY
[04:58] <scotty> HEY
[04:58] <scotty> HEY
[04:58] <CodeWar> I had a ccsm profile I used to import and work that stopped working, keyboard shortcuts stopped working, workspace switching stopped working
[04:58] <FloodBot1> scotty: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:58] <CodeWar> updates are so messy everytime and all because of Unity, now I have to spend hours searching the web on how to fix this how to fix that
[04:58] <CodeWar> hate you guys!!!
[04:59] <asdfasdf> HELP ME
[04:59] <Batshua> … With what?
[04:59] <ztag100> I think I'm going to give my ubuntu partition most of the space from the data partition, except for 10GB, which will be useful for moving files between OSes
[04:59] <Batshua> Oh, I see.
[04:59] <bazhang> asdfasdf, with?
[04:59] <cortexA9> kernel 3.3.4 is available on ubuntu ?
[04:59] <asdfasdf> bazhang: i want to reinstall ubuntu live without deleting the persistance changes file
[04:59] <bouma_> im trying to find a way to keep the old Nautilus that had Compact layout, cause it fits twice as many icons in the same space!
[04:59] <bazhang> cortexA9, no
[04:59] <asdfasdf> bazhang: what windows install tool has this feature?
[04:59] <Batshua> That's something I know nothing about. :/
[05:00] <Dr_Mike> lspci tells me my machine has "VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)" - how can I get more detail to tell whether it meets the minimum requirements for unity?
[05:00] <bouma_> or potentially patching the new nautilus to reintroduce Compact layout, but its beyond my personal ability
[05:00] <victor__> hi, well if anyone could give me some guidance
[05:00] <ztag100> and, most other crap like pictures and stuff can go into my external HD
[05:00] <bazhang> asdfasdf, windows? you mean ubuntu I hope
[05:00] <vanity> is ubuntu 12.04 included realtime kernel?
[05:00] <asdfasdf> bazhang: install ubuntu live from windows
[05:00] <scientes> Vanadis__, its compiled with PREEMPT
[05:01] <asdfasdf> bazhang: dont want to kill my persistant file from the previous ubuntu
[05:01] <scientes> vanity, ^ but not the RT_PREEMPT patchset (which you dont want)
[05:01] <asdfasdf> bazhang: its the sam version but somthing got curroutp
[05:01] <uglyoldbob> is there a way to find the size of files in a directory that match a filter (like *.jpg) ?
[05:01] <vanity> scientes: thx
[05:01] <bazhang> asdfasdf, from windows? not sure what you mean apart from wubi
[05:02] <asdfasdf> bazhang: dont want to nuke the persistant-changes file everytime i reinstall it
[05:02] <shawncm217> Ask Ubuntu pointed me here. I need help with the Ubuntu One Music Store. http://askubuntu.com/questions/64039/how-do-i-manage-my-ubuntu-one-music-store-account-specifically-change-my-email
[05:02] <victor__> in 11.10 I connected my tv via HDMI, but now that I upgraded to 12.04, i cant get image
[05:02] <bazhang> shawncm217, try #ubuntuone
[05:02] <ztag100> seems like I can give ubuntu a total of 70GB
[05:03] <victor__> can some one help me out, or give some advice
[05:03] <ztag100> overkill?
[05:03] <ztag100> any one?
[05:03] <tailf> victor is the computer recognising the tv as a display?
[05:03] <victor__> yes
[05:03] <bazhang> ztag100, 70gb for /  or for /home
[05:03] <shawncm217> bazhang, thank you. doing that now.
[05:03] <ztag100> bazhang, both in one partition
[05:04] <Hebram> ztag:  You should be OK if don't have alot of media or are storing it elsewhere.
[05:04] <bazhang> ztag100, then no, thats not overkill
[05:04] <cocolos> can I create a microsoft media server on ubuntu?
[05:04] <ztag100> Going to store all my media on an external
[05:04] <ztag100> I wish
[05:04] <asdfasdf> bazhang: how 2?
[05:04] <ztag100> I could give windows more space, but, all my linux partitions are in an extended
[05:04] <bazhang> asdfasdf, do a wubi install?
[05:05] <ztag100> Also, should I make the fat32 an ntfs instead? linux can read ntfs right?
[05:05] <dr_willis> cocolos:  upnp media servers are supported by most major media players and dlna device/apps.
[05:06] <cocolos> dr_willis: will xbox pick it up
[05:06] <dr_willis> cocolos:  such apps like ushare, and mediatomb
[05:06] <asdfasdf> bazhang: without the persistant changes file being re-written again
[05:06] <dr_willis> cocolos:  ushare i think has xbox support.
[05:06] <dr_willis> !info usare
[05:06] <bazhang> asdfasdf, what you are asking is not clear at all
[05:06] <dr_willis> !info ushare
[05:06] <ismarc_netbook> cocolos: I personally prefer xbmc
[05:06] <Hebram> ztag100: Yes.  It can also write to NTFS with the correct package installed.  Ubuntu can also read/write FAT32.  I would suggest converting it to NTFS just to make your Windows installation more secure.
[05:06] <asdfasdf> bazhang: it is
[05:07] <asdfasdf> asdfasdf: where are you having trouble?
[05:07] <ztag100> windows is on an ntfs, its the shared partition that they are both going to use
[05:07] <ztag100> dougb_freebsd: why did you tell me to use fat32?
[05:08] <Hebram> ztag100:  Use NTFS then.  You will have to "sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g" to install the package to write to NTFS.
[05:08] <ztag100> Oh no, that sounds like more work :P
[05:08] <radio> pfff sound with jack is not working properly together with pulse I cannot choose for jack-sink and jack-source to choose even cannot find that app
[05:08] <Hebram> ztag100: copy/paste isn't *that* much work.
[05:09] <ztag100> Hebram: I have to right click!
[05:09] <ztag100> TWICE!
[05:09] <cocolos> ismarc_netbook: does xbmc get picked up by xbox?
[05:09] <dr_willis> i cant think of much need to use fat/vfat on a hard drive thee days.. on a usb stick yes.. a normal hd/partion - not reeesally
[05:09] <killown1> suposing I am using a raid 5 setup on ubuntu 12.04 right now and I need reinstall ubuntu, how the OS detect my raid setup on a new installation?
[05:09] <Hebram> ztag100:  At least you aren't using a MAC and have to CTRL+right-click.  Now that is work.
[05:09] <ztag100> lol
[05:09] <ismarc_netbook> cocolos: It should, I use it to stream media to mine
[05:10] <cocolos> ismarc_netbook: sweet thanks. it looks pretty sleek
[05:10] <ismarc_netbook> cocolos: (xbmc started as a project specifically to stream media to an xbox)
[05:10] <dr_willis> the latest xbmc is very nice
[05:10] <dougb_freebsd> ztag100: if you're going to be writing to the partition from linux you're better off with fat32 than ntfs imo ... I have had problems with writing to ntfs
[05:10] <truongvan> ip
[05:10] <asdfasdf> HELP ME
[05:11] <dougb_freebsd> but that's just my opinion .... in any case, you can't put your source files on ntfs
[05:11] <bazhang> asdfasdf, then ask a clear question, which you have not done so far, all on a single line
[05:11] <dr_willis> been ages since ive heard os any issues  accessing ntfs vis ntfs-3g...
[05:11] <ztag100> While I'm on here, I get the wierdest issue on my netbook, sometimes it just freezes during boot. It happens pretty often, then I have to restart it
[05:11] <ztag100> any ideas?
[05:11] <radio> I need jack-sink and jack source for using skype in idjc but in 11.10 it was working but now it collapse in ubuntustudio :| the pulse try to establisch the sound server but it fails
[05:11] <asdfasdf> bazhang: how to reinstlal ubuntu live from a windows installer without re-crreating the peristant-changes fle?
[05:11] <ismarc_netbook> ztag100: last time I had problems like that it was a failing hard drive
[05:12] <ztag100> I've had problems with the drive before
[05:12] <bazhang> asdfasdf, that makes no sense. windows installers and ubuntu have no connection
[05:12] <victor__> tailf: yes it is
[05:12] <ztag100> It works perfectly fine though
[05:12] <dougb_freebsd> smartmontools may be able to tell you more ztag100
[05:12] <asdfasdf> bazhang: windows installer of ubuntu
[05:12] <pepee> asdfasdf, you mean wubi?
[05:12] <ztag100> gparted refused to partition it
[05:13] <asdfasdf> pepee: not necessarily, theres more than wubi, theres linux usb creator for one
[05:13] <asdfasdf> pepee: they all operate from an iso, and that can be ubuntu,w hich is what im using
[05:13] <ztag100> But, the ubuntu installer worked fine...
[05:13] <bazhang> asdfasdf, wubi is not live, it's an install inside windows that you can use, pretty much like a regular install
[05:13] <dougb_freebsd> ztag100: if gparted won't try to work with the drive, that's a bad sign
[05:13] <asdfasdf> bazhang: yea im installing an ubuntu live here
[05:13] <asdfasdf> solution pls?
[05:13] <ztag100> I might have a spare I can put into it
[05:14] <bazhang> asdfasdf, installing and live are totally different things
[05:14] <eco2geek> asdfasdf - are you talking about ubuntu on a usb stick?

[05:14] <asdfasdf> bazhang: solution pls?

[05:15] <asdfasdf> how to?
[05:15] <bazhang> unetbootin.sourceforge.net asdfasdf
[05:15] <ztag100> or something to do with grub
[05:15] <asdfasdf> without re-crreating the peristant-changes fle?
[05:15] <eco2geek> asdfasdf - does ubuntu on a usb stick use a loopback file to store its persistent changes?
[05:15] <bazhang> asdfasdf, read the links given to you
[05:15] <ztag100> what's the button to make the grub menu show up?
[05:15] <dougb_freebsd> ztag100: I would run smartmontools on that drive ... you should be able to do it with the disk utility on the live cd
[05:15] <asdfasdf> bazhang: i did, u hav technical support?
[05:15] <asdfasdf> eco2geek: dont really know
[05:16] <bazhang> ztag100, shift
[05:16] <eco2geek> asdfasdf - then plug in your usb stick and look
[05:16] <asdfasdf> what?
[05:16] <asdfasdf> oh
[05:16] <bazhang> asdfasdf, get unetbootin, get the iso, start unetbootin---> point to iso
[05:16] <asdfasdf> eco2geek: theres a file

[05:18] <asdfasdf> eco2geek: its slow im not doing it everytime ubuntu gets corrupt, which is ever 2 startups
[05:18] <bazhang> asdfasdf, using the usb stick will overwrite it. there's no other way
[05:18] <dougb_freebsd> ztag100: yes

[05:26] <bazhang> ztag100, ext4
[05:26] <L3top> of course...
[05:26] <L3top> !de

[05:27] <albian> Help: If re-installing Ubuntu 12.04, which partition should I use to ensure my old files aren't deleted
[05:27] <bazhang> albian, have a separate home partition then
[05:27] <phiscribe> a new one
[05:28] <dr_willis> albian:  best to make backups.. and   dont reformat your /home/ partition.
[05:28] <bazhang> albian, the installer should have that option
[05:28] <dr_willis> albian:  if you dont have  /home/ partition . then you will want to make backups
[05:29] <albian> Unfortunately, I can't the problem is I have ruined the exisitng example of Ubuntu
[05:29] <libert> não consigo ouvir musicas em sites alguem sabe me ajudar ?
[05:29] <vividh> Fyodorovna: thanks, that solved the problem...:)
[05:29] <albian> I can sort of see it by using a pendrive virtual Ubnutu
[05:29] <libert> I can not hear music on sites you know someone help me?
[05:29] <Cheery> I just got message from my friend to my notification bar.. but there's nothing afterwards
[05:30] <Cheery> problem is I don't even know where it might origin from
[05:31] <dr_willis> albian:  its not clear what you mean by thqt
[05:31] <cortexA9> can i prevent a fork bomb ?
[05:31] <Fyodorovna> vividh, cool.
[05:32] <cortexA9> in ubuntu i mean
[05:32] <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
[05:33] <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] <eco2geek> albian - can you boot it in rescue mode?
[05:34] <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] <eco2geek> albian - do you have another partition or another blank usb stick that you can copy your files to?
[05:35] <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?
[05:36] <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
[05:38] <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?
[05:39] <albian> Dr Willis - OK if that is my only option. I am scared though that I will miss something
[05:40] <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
[05:41] <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
[05:42] <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
[05:43] <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.
[05:44] <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] <ztag100> I'll get back to it in a bit
[05:44] <ztag100> bye guys
[05:44] <ztag100> thanks for the help
[05:45] <jankud>  I am preparing a working environment where couple of people will be collaborating on the same machine. I prepaird a first image in virtualbox, but now I wonder how I can keep my operating system(and all that is insalled) under some *version control* so I can quickly backup. Can you give me some tips how to actually manage such snapshots?
[05:45] <albian> Dr Willis you have given me a lot to think on, I'm going to try a few things
[05:45] <albian> Thank you very much
[05:46] <dr_willis> if your normal install boots to the console.. it should be fixable
[05:46] <Fyodorovna> albian, you know how to chroot?
[05:46] <dr_willis> you wouldent even need to chroot
[05:47] <The_BROS> How to make Thunderbird always online after closing?
[05:47] <bazhang> The_BROS, minimize to tray?
[05:48] <albian> eck, now my Pendrive isn't working right, going to rewrite it
[05:48] <china_guang> My Xchat can't connect any server.how can I do for it?
[05:48] <Fyodorovna> dr_willis, from the launchpad it looks like they can get to a cli yeah.
[05:48] <dr_willis> albian:  what does the problem system doexactly when you try to boot it?
[05:49] <knytmare> does anyone using znc? its my first time and im having some few trouble to it, especially on installing
[05:49] <dr_willis> knytmare:  apt-get install znc    ;) and the plugin packages i recall..
[05:49] <china_guang> in my  debian
[05:49] <dr_willis> knytmare:  been a few mo.  since i last used znc
[05:50] <albian> DR W: It might be my fault, I copied the files to another machine to use the pendrive for another purpose then cpopied them back. I'll see what a rewrite does before I panic
[05:50] <IanWizard-Cloud> I hate having to come here, and ask but.... I'm upgrading, and it's stuck on "Preparing to configure debconf"
[05:50] <knytmare> @dr_willis thnx im having trouble on to manual installation some errors, but ill try to figure it out(linux newbie here)
[05:50] <dr_willis> albian:  what does the problem system do exactly when you try to boot it?
[05:50] <bazhang> china_guang, debian? ask in #debian or #xchat
[05:51] <phiscribe> IanWizard-Cloud: try alt tab or moving windows around and see if another window behind it is waiting on your input
[05:51] <unsuccessful> join #kubuntu
[05:51] <Fyodorovna> china_guang, you might try #debian this is ubuntu support that is a big channel as well.
[05:51] <dr_willis> knytmare:  manual install? you compiling from source?
[05:51] <crackerjackz> i'm trying to install ubuntu from the live cd it says preparing to install ubuntu "has at least 4.4gb of availble drive space" and it shows a green checkmark beside it. but the part where it says "is connected to the internet" shows a black x..
[05:51] <knytmare> @dr_willis yeah
[05:51] <unsuccessful> hi
[05:51] <crackerjackz> lspci does indeed detect the ethernet card
[05:51] <crackerjackz> it says
[05:51] <IanWizard-Cloud> phiscribe: I was using the expand triangle next to the step to expand, I completely missed the one that said "Terminal" :(  fixed it.  Thanks :)
[05:52] <dr_willis> knytmare:  why. ;)  apt-get build-deps znc should pull in all needed -dev packages i rcll to compile it.
 yes. In 11.04 i had plugin and when I closed application it was online anyway in application tray
[05:52] <crackerjackz> ethernet controller: broadcom corperation BCM4401 100Base-T (rev 01)
[05:52] <phiscribe> an easy one to miss, and i only remeber it cuase of how annoying it is, glad for you
[05:52] <crackerjackz> when i try to run dhcpcd eth0  it says that it's not installed
[05:53] <crackerjackz> i want to get the internet working so that i can download all the packages during the install
[05:53] <knytmare> @dr_willis well, yeah, after my comilation then i try to run the --makeconf then it suddenly says i havent installed it yet---
[05:53] <bazhang> The_BROS, then check for the same plugins I suppose, I use Evolution so cannot aid you further there
 ok. And may be you know any solution for Gnote to be in tray?
[05:54] <dr_willis> knytmare:  i just use the version in the repos.  you may want to check in #ZNC
[05:54] <gry> The_BROS, #firefox topic here will show you how to find thunderbird channel
[05:54] <knytmare> @dr_willis freenode?
[05:55] <bazhang> !find alltray
[05:55] <bazhang> !info alltray
[05:55] <dr_willis> knytmare:  think they got a chennel here
[05:55] <gry> The_BROS, 'alltray' package works to iconise windows (but that's manual, they don't get iconified when minimised or closed; apps have to have their own iconify plugins for that)
[05:55] <bazhang> ^ The_BROS see alltray above
[05:55] <knytmare> @dr_willis yeah here, thnx for answering :)
 where can I get alltray?
[05:56] <gry> The_BROS, ubuntu software center
[05:56] <gry> The_BROS, mind that as I said, you'll have to click their icon to iconify; closing the window will kill the application rather than iconify it
[05:58] <wmorri> Hi I have a quick question. I have a local webserver that I am trying to vew from a desktop on the LAN and it isn't showing up.
[05:58] <Haffe> Have you started the server in question?
[05:58] <wmorri> yes
[05:58] <wmorri> I have forwarded port 80 as well.
[05:58] <The_BROS> Thanx guys! I want to delete bluetooth from tray. How can I do that?
[05:59] <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?
[05:59] <lehel> Is there a way to stop the new unity feature that changes the colour of the launcher and notifications that matches them to the wallpaper?
[06:00] <lehel> in 12.04
[06:00] <bluefrog> wmorri, you are on the same LAN than the webserver?
[06:00] <crackerjackz> wmorri: what happens when you go to http://127.0.0.1
[06:00] <wmorri> bluefrog: yes I am
[06:00] <crackerjackz> wmorri: you're using apache2 right?
[06:01] <bluefrog> wmorri, why would you make a port redirection? and where did you make it?
[06:01] <wmorri> crackerjackz,: yes
[06:01] <clakes> hi guys! i'm getting mad at this: i can't seem to be able to change keyboard shortcuts in sys settings after upgrading to 12.04... they don't stick
[06:02] <xskydevilx> Good morning, beloved Ubuntu community! How are you all feeling?
[06:02] <crackerjackz> wmorri: did you start apache2 with /etc/init.d/apache2 start ?
[06:02] <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?
[06:03] <wmorri> ufw? not sure I can check
[06:03] <crackerjackz> ufw is uncomplicated firewall
[06:03] <crackerjackz> it's part of ubuntu i do beleive
[06:03] <pratz> hey guys i followed this process and created usb installer  http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu
[06:03] <dr_willis> if you are not using a firewall.  no forwarding should be needed..
[06:03] <bluefrog> ppl on a lan don't need a port forward. drop that to begin with. then
[06:04] <pratz> but when i reboot and press F12, none of the options boot from usb, any ideas ??
[06:04] <crackerjackz> wmorri: try sudo ufw allow 80/tcp
[06:04] <crackerjackz> wmorri: also are you behind a router?
[06:04] <pratz> F12 usb options are - usb-fdd, usb-zip, usb-cdrom, usb-hdd
[06:04] <wmorri> crackerjackz: I am behind a router
[06:04] <xskydevilx> usb-hdd, pratz
[06:05] <xskydevilx> pratz, That's the one you should pic.
[06:05] <xskydevilx> *pick
[06:05] <crackerjackz> wmorri: first off before we continue were you able to access the default page when going to http://127.0.0.1?
[06:05] <pratz> xskydevilx: hey dude yesterday I took all the backup, you remember
[06:05] <crackerjackz> http://127.0.0.1
[06:05] <xskydevilx> yeah, mate
[06:05] <pratz> xskydevilx: the problem is , I tried all the options but none of them boots me from usb
[06:06] <pratz> xskydevilx: do i need to check something else ??
[06:06] <crackerjackz> wmorri: excuse me for just a second while i get something to drink
[06:06] <xskydevilx> pratz, Let's try to inspect this, shall we? What kind of computer are you trying to boot it to?
[06:06] <wmorri> crackerjackz: I won't be able to, as I am running 10.04.3 server headless. So I can try from the computer I am on
[06:07] <pratz> xskydevilx: its a desktop computer
[06:07] <pratz> xskydevilx: intel core2deo, 2gb ram, gigabite g41 motherboard
[06:08] <clakes> what could be the issue in gnome3 no remembering shortcuts i set in sys setting, 12.04?
[06:08] <clakes> *not
[06:08] <crackerjackz> wmorri: well http://127.0.0.1 will not work unless you try accessing it from the computer that apache is installed on
[06:09] <wmorri> crackerjackz: that is what I thought
[06:09] <pratz> xskydevilx: should i try and reboot again ??
[06:10] <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
[06:11] <pratz> eco2geek: where is the boot flag in usb , is it a file or ??
[06:11] <taxman> ...
[06:11] <crackerjackz> wmorri: once it's installed just run lynx http://127.0.0.1
[06:11] <community_chat> password, ubuntu open source, will be easy to break, info spread.
[06:12] <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)
[06:13] <bazhang> community_chat, what?
[06:13] <pratz> eco2geek: i just opened it with "Disk Utility" and it says partion flag is bootable
[06:13] <wmorri> crackerjackz: I tried running lynx 127.0.0.1 and it to me it was unable to connect to host.
[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: earlier when i had you run sudo ufw allow 80/tcp you ran that from the server that apache is installed on right?
[06:14] <wmorri> crackerjackz: yes correct
[06:14] <community_chat> enhance password, system info protect, reduce software, maintain systems.
[06:14] <bazhang> !ot | community_chat
[06:14] <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
[06:15] <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 ?
[06:16] <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
[06:17] <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 ?
[06:18] <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.
[06:19] <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
[06:20] <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?
[06:21] <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
[06:22] <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?
[06:23] <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.
[06:24] <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> :(
[06:25] <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
[06:26] <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
[06:27] <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.
[06:28] <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.
[06:29] <dr_willis> !8.10
[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
[06:30] <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
[06:31] <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
[06:32] <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
[06:33] <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
[06:34] <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
[06:35] <_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) ...
[06:36] <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
[06:37] <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?
[06:38] <bazhang> !ot | shadykhan
[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?
[06:39] <_xan_> thrillERboy: or alternatively windows inside virtual box
[06:40] <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
[06:41] <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
[06:42] <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
[06:43] <MACscr> dr_willis: i more want to remove all the games, mozzilla, etc
[06:43] <dr_willis> !text
[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
[06:44] <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?
[06:45] <aazcod1999> hello,Can anyone help me with lubuntu because that channel is dead and noone is helping me.
[06:45] <aazcod1999> Well my problem is that; When i start Minecraft it loads but after it gets to the start menu it freezes and also i get errors that its not finding my mouse or keyboard D:
[06:45] <eco2geek> Mneumonic - with certain cards - see <http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=178460>
[06:45] <daivdfn> ?
[06:45] <unsuccessful> dr_willis, Where i can configure a custom X session for all users ?
[06:46] <Mneumonic> eco2geek that doesn't count my card
[06:46] <Mneumonic> I have a gtx 560m, I think that's newer than G80

[06:50] <Mneumonic> I am just getting worse performance than in 11.10
[06:50] <Mneumonic> a few games that worked in wine before don't even start now
[06:50] <Matan[M]> bry
[06:50]  * thrillERboy gonna try upgrading to 12.04 from 11.10, which is installed under wubi, bye for now
[06:51] <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
[06:53] <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
[06:54] <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
[06:55] <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] <pratz> eco2geek: dude tried with nusbbootin still the same, usb is not recognized at boot
[06:55] <goro> ra21vi: yea, i havent installed precise yet, u dont use 3d? I use natty and bumblebee drivers are good for acpi, low temperature etc
[06:55] <pratz> eco2geek: any more suggestions

[06:56] <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
[06:56] <goro> it's an xorg issue I think because xinput API changed between 1.11 and 1.12 and ubuntu broke it when they backported patches
[06:56] <Mneumonic> Also on a side note, Zenity, Chromium-browser and Blueman constantly crash for me in 12.04

[06:58] <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] <ichilton> Do you even use the normal terminal, or something else?
[06:58] <L3top> mrdeepuvc: the more you post, the further you get from help
[06:58] <jankud> If i installed something on my Desktop is there an easy way to relocate it? To lets say /usr/local ?

[06:59] <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
[06:59] <mbroeker> ichilton, ctrl-c terminate the running app, ctrl-z suspend it, (enter fg to resurrect it)
[06:59] <L3top> Yes mrdeepuvc... that will fix it.
[06:59] <goro> ra21vi: among other things, there are patches out and people are working on a fix, but dont wait up for a quick fix
[06:59] <jussi> mrdeepuvc: please respect the guidelines or your privelidge of using this channel will be removed
[06:59] <eco2geek> pratz - do you have a usb key that you _can_ boot from? one that has another distro on it?
[06:59] <jussi> !guidelines > mrdeepuvc

[07:00] <mrdeepuvc> remove those 2 s0n 0f8 b**iths
[07:00] <ra21vi> goro: do you have XPS 15z too?
[07:00] <pratz> eco2geek: no, but will get from my friend and try again
[07:00] <pratz> eco2geek: you think the usb stick is not good ??
[07:00] <L3top> Mneumonic: Would you like to fool around with xorg to see if we can get you operating better?
[07:00] <goro> ra21vi: this is a great release, it's just that some of the hardware trouble will take a few days to work out. yea xps15z and xps 15 L501x here
[07:00] <hydrox24> mrdeepuvc: watch the language, also, is your problem to do with ubuntu?
[07:00] <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
[07:00] <crackerjackz> i fixed my internet problem.. ethernet cable has a short in it
[07:00] <eco2geek> ptratz - well, maybe not good for booting off of :-)
[07:00] <crackerjackz> thanks wmorri
[07:01] <MACscr> lol, your really going to try to help the guy after that type of spam and attitude? screw that
[07:01] <goro> ra21vi: at least this is an LTS, which means it'll get fixed soon enough
[07:01] <MACscr> i already have him on ignore
[07:01] <Mneumonic> L3top honestly no
[07:01] <Mneumonic> I have spent the last 12ish hours messing around with stuff
[07:02]  * 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
[07:03] <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?
[07:04] <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 . :)
[07:05] <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
[07:06] <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?
[07:07] <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

[07:11] <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
[07:12] <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
[07:13] <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
[07:14] <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,
[07:15] <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
[07:16] <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
[07:17] <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
[07:18] <_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] <dr_willis> md_5:  the askubuntu.com site may havve some info on thiss topic. i havent looked into it in ages
[07:18] <gry> !dualboot
[07:18] <gry> boobear, ^^
[07:19] <_xan_> boobear: easiest way is using Wubi
[07:19] <md_5> it doesnt :(
[07:19] <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?
[07:20] <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
[07:21] <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
[07:22] <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?
[07:23] <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
[07:24] <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.
[07:25] <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
[07:26] <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.
[07:27] <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] <_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.
[07:28] <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.....
[07:29] <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?
[07:30] <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] <Mystblade9> _xan_: Indeed. Okay, what partition/part of the HDD should I install the MBR to?
[07:31] <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.
[07:32] <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] <krinetic> Hello, I have some problems with the repos. Does anyone else have this problem? This is on a fresh kubuntu 12.04 install  --> http://pastebin.com/WQ9CmSmh
[07:33] <_xan_> Mystblade9:  Do they boot separate versions of Windows or is one a data only partition?
[07:33] <goro> ra21vi: from what I can tell, wait a few days before you switch to 12.04 full time
[07:33] <Mystblade9> _xan_: One is a data only partition.
[07:33] <Mystblade9> _xan_: On which Windows is installed.
[07:33] <B|tchX> color test
[07:33] <B|tchX> say my name
[07:33] <B|tchX> please
[07:33] <Mystblade9> B|tchX:
[07:33] <dr_willis> test failed
[07:33] <_xan_> Mystblade9: And you are looking to add a 3rd partition for Ubuntu?
[07:34] <SunTsu> MACscr: as long it's a local one.. For future needs: Run removal and adding of that module in a single shell line, in screen - and best restarting your network, too, because it might lose your config
[07:34] <B|tchX> thanks Mystblade9
[07:34] <Mystblade9> _xan_: yes
[07:34] <auronandace> !test | B|tchX
[07:34] <CellTech> Rhythmbox used to sync my blackberry to music. It now does not. What could be missing?
[07:34] <B|tchX> perfect
[07:34] <CruX|> hello where can I find sources.list for 12.04 ?
[07:34] <B|tchX> I lost my system and all my backs ups and my tor config
[07:35] <B|tchX> i couldda died it just took me two hours to get back on with tor
[07:35] <zombifier> CurX|: in /etc/apt
[07:35] <Guest51670>  /nick your_favorite_stn
[07:35] <dr_willis> handy to backup configs to your ubuntu one account. just in case
[07:35] <CruX|> zombifier: on the web
[07:35] <ra21vi> goro: got it, but I already upgraded, and been on windows 7 for last 8 months, I cannt get back :(
[07:35] <CruX|> I need to upgrade my system
[07:35] <jschall> not all my sound devices are showing up in the sound settings... i have an nvidia graphics card with hdmi out and it shows up in pavucontrol but not gnome
[07:35] <_xan_> Mystblade9:  So you are looking to resize one of your windows partitions and appropriate the space for the ubuntu partition?
[07:35] <goro> ra21vi: no clonezilla backups?
[07:35] <zombifier> CruX|: And why would you need to download a new one?
[07:36] <Mystblade9> _xan_: Yep.
[07:36] <CruX|> zombifier: i need to upgrade my system
[07:36] <Mystblade9> _xan_: And it used to work perfectly in previous Ubuntu versions, but this installer crashes for some reason.
[07:36] <auronandace> CruX|: why not just use the system updater?
[07:36] <CruX|> auronandace: because is removed
[07:36] <zombifier> CruX|: More specific on what you're trying to achieve please?
[07:36] <CruX|> i have highly modified system
[07:37] <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 :)
[07:38] <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
[07:39] <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] <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
[07:40] <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
[07:41] <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
[07:42] <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
[07:43] <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 ?
[07:44] <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
[07:45] <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
[07:46] <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] <_xan_> john38: Unity should already be enabled.
[07:46] <B|tchX> !kubuntu
[07:47] <B|tchX> !kde
[07:47] <john38> _xan_, oh..ok automatically?
[07:47] <CruX|> mbroeker: i have backup so I'll try
[07:47] <_xan_> john38: yes
[07:47] <john38> _xan_, cool
[07:47] <Mystblade9> alright, i'm gonna try the installer one more time. if that fails, i'll file the bug report and burn the alternate cd. If THAT fails, wubi.
[07:47] <mohit> hi needed a help
[07:47] <mbroeker> CruX|, just perform a fresh install :) it bet, that it will be faster than that
[07:47] <mohit> i forgot my root user password
[07:48] <auronandace> !root | mohit
[07:48] <_xan_> lol
[07:49] <md_5> screw this lets try building udisks from source
[07:50] <xfer> thanks ubottu
[07:50] <fl1bbl3> impossible?
[07:50] <fl1bbl3> xfer its a bot
[07:51] <md_5> so?
[07:51] <md_5> you can thank a bot
[07:51] <auronandace> !thanks
[07:51] <md_5> otherwise he will turn evil and kill us all
[07:51] <CAZ_au> Everytime i "apt-get update" with terminal or an application it keeps redownloading lists over and over insted of updating a cached version, anyone else get this? [Ubuntu 12.04]
[07:51] <fl1bbl3> you can but better to thank person who triggered it in this case
[07:52] <stn> salut
[07:52] <fl1bbl3> thanks aurondace :D

[07:56] <md_5> meh screw this Ill just move these files to my ext4 partition
[07:56] <md_5> !ext4
[07:56] <CruX|> mbroeker: i'll try fresh install
[07:56] <xfer> got it.. i will rephrase my earlier ques: "I forgot administrator user password"
[07:57] <auronandace> xfer: it is your user password
[07:57] <mbroeker> CruX|, hehe: i guess that my screen confronted me with that error message too, but i was working on two pcs and missed it :)
[07:57] <joel135> i have a string "Volume: 0:  19% 1:  19%", where 19 is varying in the range of [0, 100]. using terminal commands (something like grep?), how do I extract the variable value 19?
[07:57] <_xan_> auronandace: maybe he forgot his password? :-)
[07:57] <auronandace> xfer: you use sudo and give it your user's password

[08:01] <moah> hello, i am using gnome-terminal on ubuntu 12.04 (version 3.4.1.1), and there is a bug that didnt exist in ubuntu 10.04 (version 2.30.2). it appears when using the epic irc client, and looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/06AGc.png it seems that it displays irc line endings /r/n while it shouldnt. it appears regardless of coding (utf8, iso-8859-15) or font. does anybody have an idea what happened in the new gnome-terminal verison?
[08:01] <t3ch> hello all, my panel is fucked up, can anyone tell me what to do.. here is screenshot: http://i46.tinypic.com/2be5o1.png
[08:02] <atrius_> moah: Have you checked the locale?
[08:03] <moah> atrius_: no, how can i do that?
[08:03] <mbroeker> t3ch, hm what f'ed up? the letters? usermod -c "My Name" root ?
[08:04] <atrius_> moah: simply run 'locale
[08:04] <atrius_> - in term
[08:04] <t3ch> mbroeker, check the picture.. it have pointer where is fucket up... got 2 times icons at top of desktop
[08:05] <moah> atrius_: i did echo $LANG and they are both the same, de_DE.UTF-8, so it should not be the source for the bug.
[08:05] <t3ch> in panel
[08:05] <auronandace> !language | t3ch
[08:05] <SunTsu> mbroeker: there's stuff multiple times in his bar, stuff lying over other stuff
[08:05] <t3ch> ya
[08:05] <t3ch> :)
[08:05] <mbroeker> hehe, got it
[08:06] <atrius_> moah: are you using screen? if so, you might have to use the -U flag.
[08:06] <aazcod1999> how can i  make a ubuntu boot usb from  my lubuntu?
[08:06] <moah> atrius_: no, just pure just installed gnome-terminal.
[08:07] <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
[08:08] <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] <Jackneill> can you help me? http://i47.tinypic.com/2hqvzeq.png
[08:08] <moah> atrius_: i tried changing codings and fonts, nothing led to the bug disappearing.
[08:09] <dr_willis> Jackneill:  summarize the issue - is a good idea
[08:09] <Notimik> any one who has problems with empathy connecting to msn here?
[08:09] <mbroeker> t3ch, try http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/how-to-reset-unity-to-default-settings-in-ubuntu/
[08:09] <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?
[08:09] <atrius_> moah: I see. I haven't updated yet, so i really can't test it out myself at the moment, im sorry.
[08:09] <cdoktor191> i do fresh install ubuntu 12.04 my vga driver is not listed on system setting, i do on terminal lspci | grep VGA and result is "VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)", anybody can help me fix this
[08:09] <Jackneill> dr_willis: yes, but that i only know is on the picture, i think flash problem.
[08:09] <atrius_> moah: Best of luck finding a solution
[08:10] <mbroeker> t3ch, but i am not sure whether this cmd resets the statusbar or not
[08:10] <t3ch> mbroeker i have f..it up with xrender when i have change the resolution
[08:10] <dr_willis> countfuzzball:  copy it back to the  hd. see if the size changes back. if so iit may be some quick of blocksize/inode
[08:10] <mbroeker> t3ch, ok, i give up. sorry for disturbing...
[08:10] <dr_willis> countfuzzball:  check md5sums also
[08:10] <auronandace> Jackneill: there is nothing wrong with the picture, you just have a terminal open
[08:11] <t3ch> no will try to reset status bar maybe it helps
[08:11] <aazcod1999> dr_willis how do i do it again?
[08:11] <dr_willis> aazcod1999:  do what?
[08:11] <Jackneill> auronandace: as you can see in the picture, through the terminal i can see the flash video
[08:12] <aazcod1999> dr_willis put the ubuntu iso on a usb
[08:12] <Jackneill> but the terminel is NOT transparent, so i mustn't see the video
[08:12] <aazcod1999> from my lubuntu**
[08:12] <CellTech> Ubuntu 12.. good or bad?
[08:12] <auronandace> Jackneill: thats not what appears in the picture, it just shows black
[08:12] <dr_willis> aazcod1999:  with a tool designed for the job. or useing cat or dd to image straight to the flash drive
[08:12]  * nikolja dobar dan! o/
[08:12] <_xan_> Jackneill: all we see is your browser with a terminal opened
[08:13] <Jackneill> :OOOO
[08:13] <auronandace> CellTech: try it and see, i was pleasantly surprised
[08:13] <CellTech> No unity?
[08:13] <aazcod1999> dr_willis were can i find the programs -_-...
[08:13] <crackerjackz> i just installed firefox and it has this south african language pack installed that is not needed.. i do not see a way to get rid of it from the add-ons manager, how do i get rid of it?
[08:13] <dr_willis> Unity is in 12.04
[08:13] <dr_willis> aazcod1999:  i mentioned the pendrivelinuxx site earlier.
[08:13] <auronandace> CellTech: unity is still default, i decided to give it a try and it isn't as bad as i thought
[08:13] <Jackneill> hm
[08:14] <Jackneill> interesting
[08:14] <CellTech> So it's nothing as crappy as 11.10?
[08:14] <dr_willis> CellTech:  vague ststements are vague...
[08:14] <Jackneill> but i can see in the terminal the flash video
[08:14] <CellTech> 11.10 sucked. It was horrible.
[08:14] <Lint> crackerjackz, look for packages ending in -za
[08:14] <dr_willis> CellTech:  agsin..vague and your oponion.
[08:14] <_xan_> CellTech: then you probably won't like 12.04
[08:14] <auronandace> CellTech: i never used unity in 11.10 so i couldn't tell you how it compares
[08:15] <aazcod1999> dr_willis im on a lubuntu computer i need something to use on this not windows...
[08:15] <crackerjackz> Lint: where do i look for them at?
[08:15] <CellTech> I tried mint and wasn't impressed at all with it either
[08:15] <Lint> crackerjackz, in package manager
[08:15] <auronandace> CellTech: do you have a support issue?
[08:15] <dr_willis> aazcod1999:  pendrive linux site has toolsfor  differnt os's and  guides for doing things from the cli in linux.
[08:15] <CellTech> Yes.
[08:15] <auronandace> CellTech: do tell
[08:16] <CellTech> How come my rhythmbox would sync my blackberry music in ubuntu 11.04. but won't in xubuntu?
[08:16] <CellTech> Isn't xbuntu just ubuntu with xfce?
[08:17] <auronandace> CellTech: sorry, i don't own a blackberry and don't use rythmbox so i can't help
[08:17] <_xan_> minus the gnome parts I believe
[08:17] <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
[08:19] <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?
[08:20] <dr_willis> CellTech: you can install both desktops one install
[08:20] <CellTech> Which might be best for me then. Cause it's really all built on ubuntu anyways
[08:20] <CellTech> I have 120gb of free space to play with
[08:20] <dr_willis> albian:  I work 3rd shift.  at work now.  :)

[08:46] <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?
[08:47] <_xan_> hulaka: it's probably an issue with how the usb was setup
[08:47] <hulaka> What do you mean?
[08:48] <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.
[08:49] <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
[08:50] <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
[08:51] <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
[08:52] <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
[08:53] <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] <ravkel> My network manger all conection disabled including Mobile broadband and wierd connection
[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?
[08:54] <_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?
[08:55] <std0s> MACscr, ip conflict?
[08:55] <IanWizard-Cloud> I feel like such a n00b.... How do I activate the hub?
[08:55] <ravkel> got a problem after Mobile Partner installing in ubuntu 12.04,My network manger all conection disabled including Mobile broadband and wierd connection
[08:55] <hulaka> Yep, though, it shouldn't really matter
[08:55] <rookey> Hello!
[08:55] <std0s> lol
[08:55] <hulaka> I've tried basically all my usb ports so
[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
[08:56] <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] <std0s> wubi was broken for me today :(
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?
[08:58] <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_
[08:59] <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?
[09:00] <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?
[09:01] <rookey> _xan_: thank you
[09:01] <ravkel> Any one can tell me how to reset netowrk manger setting to normal
[09:01] <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] <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] <StarryNight> I am not a programmer r a hacker or a geek but i like how linux work
[09:01] <StarryNight> r = or
[09:01] <pixaal> anyone know why wmctrl doesnt work for some windows? (blender in particular)
[09:02] <unsuccessful> How can i create Global System file(such as .sys.sh) so that it get copied to all Users home directory please?
[09:02] <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
[09:03] <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
[09:04] <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
[09:05] <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
[09:06] <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_ .
[09:07] <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
[09:08] <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?
[09:09] <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
[09:10] <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?
[09:11] <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?
[09:12] <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

[09:13] <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
[09:14] <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.
[09:15] <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
[09:16] <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.
[09:17] <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
[09:18] <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...
[09:19] <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'
[09:20] <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.
[09:21] <std0s> RyanB - bash is king - works everywhere
[09:21] <dr_willis> !version
[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
[09:22] <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
[09:23] <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?
[09:24] <RyanB> What's bash?
[09:24] <_xan_> !bash
[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.
[09:25] <_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] <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"
[09:26] <_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.
[09:27] <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/
[09:28] <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?
[09:29] <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
[09:30] <_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?
[09:31] <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
[09:32] <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?
 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
[09:34] <_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
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
[09:35] <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
[09:36] <_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
[09:37] <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
 it's disiaster for me to find my massive data a brand new home.I can not do it.
[09:38] <dr_willis> Sixmsj:  id chaeck  the webupd8 blog site and askubuntu's lens listing
[09:38] <_xan_> ubuntu: what if your drive crashed?  you would just lose all the data?
[09:38] <Pitel> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-dvb-daemon/+bug/959838 fffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuu no dvb-t in totem in precise :(
[09:39] <Pitel> showstopper for my mom... installed kaffeine
[09:39] <StarryNight> each time i upgrade it crushes so i never upgrade i just install fresh
[09:39] <gcmx> anybody here has skype or google earth on ubuntu 12.04? can't find both in the software center
[09:39] <std0s> are you 64 bit gcmx ?
[09:39] <gcmx> no 32
 HDD is ok, I wander whether my BIOS is ok, if then ,I think should buy a now HDD.
[09:40] <std0s> gcmx, have you got universe repo enabled?
[09:41] <ArchInsomniac> when I log into my computer it asks for keyring verification. It's because of Ubuntu One I'm sure
[09:41] <gcmx> how do i check that std0s
[09:41] <ArchInsomniac> is there a way to have it accept the keyring automatically
[09:41] <Pitel> gcmx: enable partners repo
[09:42] <mbrochh> Hey guys. I have updated my T500 Thinkpad to Ubuntu 12.04 yesterday. Went smoothly, but now, when I close the lid the computer goes into sleep mode, when I open it, I see some small grafic error at the bottom of the screen and the machine hangs.
[09:42] <_xan_> cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:43] <gcmx> canonical partners repo?? juz did only got some skpe plugin for libpurple in the search
[09:44] <std0s> update
[09:45] <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)
[09:46] <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 ?
[09:47] <dr_willis> !alis
[09:47] <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?
[09:48] <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
[09:49] <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
[09:50] <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?
[09:51] <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] <detly> is there a tool, CLI or GUI, that can cut video to specific frames?
[09:51] <detly> I tried avidemux, but it crashes on AC3 audio
[09:52] <ssta> detly: ffmpeg
[09:52] <dr_willis> detly:. ffmpeg.. mencoder
[09:52] <Starminn> robin0800: Well that's the thing.... I can't see anything as all my windows are invisible
[09:52] <Starminn> dr_willis: good to know.
[09:52] <detly> ssta dr_willis: ffmpeg doesn't have any options for down-to-the-frame cutting (and also requires building from source for any useful work, and I'd like to avoid hosing my package management :P )
[09:53] <dr_willis> webupd8 blog site has guide on resting unity and compiz
[09:53] <robinds> Hi. Switched to Pangolin, cannot remap caps-lock to esc. Google yields nothing. Not a complete noob. Can you please help me?
[09:54] <dr_willis> robinds:. how did you do that before?
[09:54] <robinds> as one should - with the gui-settings
[09:54] <robinds> ..keyboard layout
[09:55] <dr_willis> so the setting now gone?
[09:56] <StarryNight> night all
[09:56] <acalbaza_> anyone having problems with an over sensitive mouse right click?  every time i right click the first item that my cursor appears over in the context menu is selected.  really frustrating...
[09:57] <ssta> acalbaza_: sounds like a bouncy switch to me.  Does it happen with every mouse?
[09:57] <scientes> this bug needs attention https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/964275
[09:57] <robinds> dr_willis: The settings persist and tells me that the caps is mapped to esc, but caps is still doing the same ol' all-caps useless function
 can I send u pic about my trouble
[09:58] <acalbaza_> ssta: happens in 12.04 after update, but not in 11.10
[09:59] <ssta> oh, I haven;t updated to 12.04 yet (I'll do it in a few weeks when most of the irritating bugs have been fixed)
[09:59] <acalbaza_> how can i tell which driver my mouse is using?
[10:00] <acalbaza_> maybe its a driver issue
[10:00]  * robinds wishes the Ubuntu community well
[10:00] <hashbrowncipher> Starminn
[10:01] <detly> incidentally, is there a nicer way to read man or info pages than the terminal?
[10:01] <acalbaza_> ssta: dont blame you :)  i decided to move ahead with it on a VM... good thing i cloned and kept a nice snapshot history pre install.  at least i can bounce between 11.10 and 12.04.  this mouse thing is killing me in eclipse.
[10:02] <hashbrowncipher> Starminn: you may have some luck if you find the user config files and delete them.
[10:03] <joemppe> anybody else getting mysterious ATA NCQ errors on perfectly good hardware on 12.04? >.>
[10:03] <std0s> detly - print them?
[10:03] <hashbrowncipher> but then the issue is that you've deleted your config files
[10:04] <gaelfx> detly: I believe there's a website that has them in html
[10:04] <Starminn> hashbrowncipher: I got it! I shot blindly into the dark using this machine's CCSM as a relative guide to the "reset" button for the setting...AND SUCCEEDED!
[10:04] <kostkon> detly, manpages.ubuntu.com
[10:04] <hashbrowncipher> which setting?
[10:04] <acalbaza_> did xorg change with 12.04?
[10:04] <ssta> acalbaza_: look at man2htnl
[10:04] <detly> gaelfx kostkon: cheers
[10:05] <Starminn> hashbrowncipher: Setting opacity for a specific window type
[10:07] <detly> I don't think mencoder has a frame start/stop option either
[10:08] <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?
[10:09] <krababbel> Lorra: nvidia?
[10:10] <gcmx> seems 12.04 has lots of issues. and its an LTS too..
[10:10] <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?
[10:11] <Mayazcherquoi> Is there anything special I have to do to get Ubuntu to read my SD card? :S
[10:12] <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
[10:13] <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
[10:14] <std0s> Mayazcherquoi, - put dmesg | tail up somewhere
[10:14] <Mayazcherquoi> I have. and Ive put it back in.
[10:14] <Mayazcherquoi> [97092.288545] mmc0: card e624 removed
[10:14] <Mayazcherquoi> Hmm
[10:14] <krababbel> Lorra: works for me and is about as stable as in windows
[10:14] <Mayazcherquoi> Now it's showing in Nautilus :p
[10:15] <Lorra> Mayazcherquoi, take it out, open a terminal and type tail -f /var/log/messages (that's to watch some log file). Then you put the card in and see what it says
[10:15] <Lorra> krababbel, I'll try then
[10:15] <Lorra> krababbel, thanks
[10:15] <acalbaza_> Lorra: hmm, im pretty up to date after the initial install... i'll try another update this morning.  my list of drivers is blank for my nvidia card though.
[10:15] <somethinginteres> how can I add sources to the new web search lens?
[10:16] <Lorra> deuterium, hi trizium here
[10:16] <Lorra> : DDDDDD
[10:16] <Lorra> NO
[10:16] <krababbel> Lorra: no
[10:17] <krababbel> problem
[10:17] <deuterium> Lorra: lol
[10:17] <gaelfx> how did people accomplish anything before NFS was around?
[10:17] <hydrox24> Lorra: I have had issues with flash video hue?
[10:17] <std0s> good old fashion hard graft
[10:18] <krababbel> and horses
[10:18] <hydrox24> Lorra: (I use an nvidia card w/ proprietary drivers)
[10:18] <std0s> yes - horses too
[10:18] <JohnEl> How would you reject packets from ABCSPLUNGE.deploy.Akamaitechnologies.com (where ABCSPLUNGE is dynamically generated)?
[10:18] <dadanopan> hey there, is there a way to change the icons in the unity launcher? (im a newbie; ubuntu 12.04)
[10:18] <Lorra> hydrox24, I don't know if it is the video hue exactly, but they look blueish
[10:18] <CellTech> Ubuntu 11.04 Synaptic Package mgr bug. Can not "apply" after residual config.. How to fix?
[10:19] <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] <JohnEl> can anyone see me?
[10:19] <jalcine> What forum software is Ubuntu Forums running on?
[10:20] <hydrox24> brb
[10:20] <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
[10:21] <std0s> JohnEl, look at failtoban - might do what you need
[10:21] <Lorra> hydrox24, you mean put it to the minimum value?
[10:22] <krababbel> Lorra: I guess that would reverse hues in everything but flash videos?
[10:22] <Lorra> Mayazcherquoi, good then ( :
[10:23] <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?
[10:24] <JohnEl> like *.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com
[10:26] <std0s> that could work - you could do it using ip tables directly too
[10:26] <karthick87> How to restrict users installing packages?

[10:27] <std0s> its set in gnome settings noelito
[10:27] <foobArrr> i just upgraded to 12.04 and now my grub menu has an ugly background image (with "debian" written on it)
[10:28] <karthick87> std0s: yes
[10:28] <noelito> I can find it. I have a script that did work before but I think it is being save in another place now. The command I am trying to run is "gconftool-2 --set /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/power --type string """
[10:29] <Lorra> karthick87, check with your /etc/sudoers file, but if you have a line like `%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL' and `%sudo	ALL=(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
[10:30] <Lorra> karthick87, you can remove a user from a group with gpasswd -d USERNAME GROUP
[10:31] <std0s> karthick87, only effects after reboot

[10:33] <karthick87> Lorra: Removing the user from admin group  is enough na?

[10:54] <a_b0y> is the firefox on linux any different than the one on windows?
[10:54] <Klaus_Dieter> a_b0y: yes. it runs on a good os :-D
[10:55] <StevenR> a_b0y: a little (menu layout). I hardly notice.
[10:55] <a_b0y> but the one on linux doesn't seem to fully work on moodle
[10:55] <MonkeyDust> what's moodle?
[10:55] <StevenR> MonkeyDust: virtual learning environment
[10:55] <Klaus_Dieter> nothings works with moodle. the thing is junk.
[10:56] <Jen> a_b0y: Tools > Options becomes Edit > Preferences, and it actually runs well… as for moodle, it's plagued with issues anyway
[10:56] <a_b0y> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moodle
[10:56] <monadist> a_b0y, it might be that moodle works best with webkit based browsers
[10:56] <monadist> a_b0y, so try chrome/safari maybe
[10:56] <a_b0y> i always have to back on windows to upload stuff
[10:57] <a_b0y> i tried chrome and the admin said use firefox

[10:59] <a_b0y> this is a fresh ubuntu install and it still can't work, but firefox on windows works
[10:59] <exicer> MonkeyDust: Ah, it is actually the other way around. Will grub be able to detect my windows install if it is on a different disk ?
[11:00] <a_b0y> StevenR i am unable to post on the forums and send messages via webmail
[11:00] <a_b0y> and i can't upload any files

[11:02] <ljsoftnet> Papa-Smurf did you check xubuntu website, i think they will post if its available, i mean xubuntu 12.04
[11:02] <exicer> Also on this install of ubuntu (12.04) I didn't see the grub menu whatsoever. What can I do to enable it ?
[11:03] <nitzs> exicer: hold down shift while booting to show up the grub menu.

[11:04] <a_b0y> StevenR even before when i tried to upload with windows running in vbox it won't work... so i was thinking maybe there is something wrong with ubuntu
[11:04] <exicer> nitzs: Uh, it doesn't seem to have worked.
[11:04] <steinex> Hi people! Just downloaded 12.04 and loving it so far. Just one question about the unity-launcher: is it possible to have autohide the panel only when there is a window above it / a program is fullscreen?
[11:04] <Papa-Smurf> ljsoftnet, yes there is a link to swap from Maverik to Oneiric... but the same settings does not work for me to upgrade from Oneiric to Precise Pangolin
[11:04] <steinex> so that its gets shown when i'm just on the desktop?
[11:04] <mystblade9|2> Hi people. I've enabled the Canonical Partners repository, but the contents are not showing up in the Software Center when I click "Canonical Partners" under "All Software". What gives?
[11:05] <StevenR> a_b0y: that's no more information on how it doesn't work. What happens? Describe how it doesn't work. Do you get any errors?
[11:05] <MonkeyDust> mystblade9|2  first do sudo apt-get update
[11:05] <mystblade9|2> MonkeyDust: Also tried that.
[11:05] <a_b0y> is just keeps loading and just times out
[11:05] <nitzs> exicer: are you completely shutting down your pc?
[11:05] <ljsoftnet> Papa-Smurf it should be there, can you do a clean install of xubuntu 12.04, just back up first all your important data
[11:05] <exicer> nitzs: Yup
[11:05] <vincentfengzi> i can't open the terminal in unity after update.but i can't use ctrl + alt + f1 to open a tty.what shall i do?
[11:06] <ljsoftnet> 12.04 is a 5 year support life cycle
[11:06] <StevenR> a_b0y: ok. what does a packet trace show? Have you tried another browser on ubuntu?

The 1080p TV I have plugged into the video card (via a DVI-to-HDMI cable) isn't being detected correctly and the maximum size is 1280x768. xrandr says "xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default.

[11:22] <gaelfx> thunder1212: AFAIK, you cannot convert MKV back into VOB, I could be wrong, thus I said download an iso next time, as those are for DVD players

[11:35] <bbbbbbbb> I don't get the Amnesia demo running, does anyone know how to fix this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/952195/
[11:36] <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

[11:37] <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] <aritemit> have u a link for downloading a java class editor (*.class) program for PC ?
[11:38] <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

[11:39] <bbbbbbbb> I don't get the Amnesia demo running, does anyone know how to fix this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/952195/
[11:39] <squigle> BluesKaj, yeah I thought of that but still no
[11:39] <B|tchX> ok treffnixAT
[11:40] <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
[11:41] <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
[11:42] <kayaman> hi

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

[11:43] <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
[11:44] <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
[11:45] <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.
[11:46] <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
[11:47] <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!
[11:48] <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
[11:49] <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
[11:50] <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
[11:51] <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
[11:52] <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

[11:53] <ricki> ciao
[11:53] <ricki> !list
[11:53] <BluesKaj> B|tchX, the only prob I have on kubuntu is kmail ..tends to segfault once in a while , but otherwise it's very stable
[11:54] <BluesKaj> 12.04 that is
[11:54] <bbbbbbbb> I don't get the Amnesia demo running, does anyone know how to fix this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/952195/

[11:58] <sw0rdfish> I tried ;rfkill list all' and my 'hp-wifi' is not blocked

[11:59] <Jen> Anyone experienced freezing when trying to boot a 12.04 ISO on USB?
[11:59] <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
[12:00] <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 .
[12:01] <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?
[12:02] <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

[12:18] <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.
[12:19] <HP_Administrator>  
[12:19] <squigle> HP_Administrator, exactly 45 minutes or is it one hour?
[12:20] <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.
[12:21] <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..
[12:22] <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] <deadbeef> sweet friends where have you been all my life

[12:23] <csrubn> hi!ubuntu noob here.I couldnt get ubuntu to install on my PC before as the driver for my nvidia gtx560 was not bundled natively in the livecd.since12.04, i could get it to install and work correctly on my setup except this:when i try to suspend the system, everything seem to shut down (wifi, screen, keyborad and mouse...)then imediatly the fans runs at 100% (as when i press a key to come off sleep in windows),wifi,keyboard turns on and sc
[12:23] <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)>
[12:24] <squigle> 45 minutes is strange !
[12:24] <GeorgeJ> Hello folks.
[12:24] <Sidewinder> Mornin' GeorgeJ
[12:24] <GeorgeJ> Is Ubuntu One as unstable and crashy as it used to be in 11.10? Or is it reliable now?
[12:25] <HP_Administrator> squigle - yes, and actually resetting the rtc is a bit stranger.  As I said, it may not always be exactly 45 minutes (it was this time, to the second) but it has previously been very near that.
[12:25] <deadbeef> guys ive found a distribution that copies ubuntu 24 7 its called debian
[12:25] <StevenR> a_b0y: right. so. is your moodle site accessible over HTTPS only?
[12:25] <sw0rdfish> lolz
[12:26] <a_b0y> i think it should be
[12:26] <GeorgeJ> deadbeef: Provide more details. How do you feel regarding this issue?
[12:26] <deadbeef> i feel outraged
[12:26] <GeorgeJ> Well, you've got to do something about it!
[12:26] <compdoc> lol
[12:27] <GeorgeJ> Wacha gonna do?
[12:27] <taxman> really? i think it's linux mint
[12:27] <deadbeef> i sure will sign some petition
[12:27] <sw0rdfish> I can't get wireless to work with 12.04
[12:27] <GeorgeJ> Act a foo!
[12:27] <a_b0y> StevenR i think i'll try again tomorrow, i don't have time now.. thanks for trying to help me
[12:27] <GeorgeJ> Is Ubuntu One as unstable and crashy as it used to be in 11.10? Is it reliable now?
[12:27] <StevenR> a_b0y: ok. no problem. I'd look and see if you can do it over http only
[12:27] <Enon> Hello all I need help
[12:27] <Enon> I have one server
[12:27] <oldsk00l> why does lightdm suck?
[12:27] <oldsk00l> why can't lightdm see ldap users?
[12:28] <Enon> I want to do disk Quota and want to install torrent client to each user and then want to limit the bandwidth limit they can use. like they can not use more then 12TB and its gets reset whenever I want. is that possible?
[12:29] <solstice_> isn't there a recent package for dropbox ? because the one from dropbox.com installs the daemon in ~/.dropbox-dist
[12:31] <GeorgeJ> How does Ubuntu One compare to Dropbox actually?
[12:31] <taxman> dropbox uses flash
[12:31] <GeorgeJ> wat
[12:32] <taxman> ubuntu may surpass dropbox by html5
[12:32] <taxman> soon
[12:32] <GeorgeJ> taxman: You're pretty much sputing bullshit.
[12:32] <GeorgeJ> spouting*
[12:32] <taxman> which part?
[12:32] <GeorgeJ> So far, you've made no sense.
[12:33] <GeorgeJ> Do you even know what dropbox is?
[12:33] <taxman> you don't answer my question
[12:33] <Sidewinder> !language > GeorgeJ
[12:33] <gry> taxman, what's the question?
[12:33] <Sidewinder> Not that I disagree.. :)
[12:34] <SuperDefenderX> Does Compiz work with Unity?
[12:34] <gry> yes
[12:34] <GeorgeJ> SuperDefenderX: Yes.
[12:34] <HP_Administrator> OK.  No clues on 45 minutes clock jumps around here at present then.  Oh, good heavens, look at the time!  I should have been in bed at least 45 minutes ago!  Later..... (and thanks for the responses)
[12:34] <taxman> many idiots here...
[12:34] <Cantide> compiz :C==*
[12:34] <gry> taxman, is there some problem you're looking for help with?
[12:34] <RexHaviK> taxman, you are here
[12:34] <GeorgeJ> taxman: Indeed.
[12:36] <aritemit> have u a link for downloading a java class editor (*.class) program for PC ?
[12:38] <Enon> Should I go with Disk Quota or Just Virtulisation is better?
[12:38] <BluesKaj> solstice_, did you run the dropbox installer?
[12:39] <marcin_> jh
[12:40] <auronandace> SuperDefenderX: compiz is unity's default window manager
[12:40] <Stefan_> hello
[12:40] <auronandace> Stefan_: greetings
[12:40] <solstice_> BluesKaj,  yes. not the ubuntu one, the official dropbo one. It then downloads and installs the daemon in ~/dropbox-dist. It's just invoking dropbox start -i
[12:41] <solstice_> may 12.04 is not yet supoprted on dropbox site. that's why
[12:41] <Jacky> o.O
[12:41] <gry> isn't dropbox like in the repositories of 12.04?
[12:42] <auronandace> !find dropbox | gry
[12:42] <BluesKaj> solstice_, dropboxd should run at startup ..not sure where that setting is on ubuntu tho , since i'm on kde
[12:42] <krababbel> BluesKaj: autostart works in gnome-shell at least
[12:42] <solstice_> gry, there is an old nautilus-dropbox 0.7. and dropbox bug me to update
[12:43] <gry> just ask it to update then?
[12:43] <Stefan_> i made an update from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS Beta and now some of my hardrives are unaccessible
[12:44] <Stefan_> is there a way to save my data on the drive if i install 12.04 via .iso ?
[12:44] <karthick87> How to set a cron job in Fedora 16?

[12:53] <The_BROS> how to remove applet with User session?
[12:54] <gry> alt + right click?
[12:54] <Enon> Hi, I have one server with 8users and 8users have disk quota and I want to limit those user to use only 12TB bandwidth not more then that
[12:55] <B|tchX> why do ppl come in here with these long a* nicks inconsiderately jacking up everyones buffer!!!
[12:55] <Roasted> Does anyone know offhand if Deja Dup by default excludes .gvfs when doing backups?
[12:55] <B|tchX> there should be a nick creation limit to 6 chars
[12:55] <B|tchX> VARCHAR(6)
[12:55] <B|tchX> go me go
[12:55] <Roasted> B|tchX, that would inherently decrease the number of usernames possible, which would be obnoxious.
[12:56] <B|tchX> we still have characters to use
[12:56] <squigle> hmm does any one use unity with twin view?
[12:56] <Roasted> I do
[12:56] <Roasted> squidy, ^
[12:56] <Twinlator> Like Windows 7?
[12:56] <Roasted> er, squigle
[12:57] <squigle> Roasted, do you get two of the bar things? or can I hide the one in the middle?
[12:57] <Roasted> squigle, bar as in the unity bar?
[12:57] <squigle> Roasted, yes, im not sure of what its really called
[12:57] <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.
[12:58] <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.
[12:59] <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?
[13:00] <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.
[13:01] <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?
[13:02] <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?
[13:03] <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)
[13:04] <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
[13:05] <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
[13:06] <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...
[13:07] <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.
[13:08] <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
[13:09] <Roasted> squigle, pardon? the keyboard app?
[13:09] <china_guang> are here chinese?
[13:09] <auronandace> !cn | china_guang
[13:09] <zik> hello
[13:09] <squigle> Roasted, I have a us keyboard but im in UK so I swap between them to get certain symbols
[13:10] <Roasted> squigle, I wonder if that has something to do with it...
[13:10] <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?
[13:11] <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] <squigle> brb
[13:11] <Roasted> squigle, I suppose anything is possible.
[13:11] <squigle> let me trash my settings
[13:11] <zigzag> left ubuntu for mint, herd some recent A+ Unity reviews from podcasts LAS and linux format and thought I try and return. 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
[13:12] <knownasilya_> Are there any logs which show when applications started and closed?
[13:13] <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?
[13:14] <Petskull> hey- when's this ubuntu officially out of beta?
[13:14] <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. ;)
[13:15] <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.
[13:16] <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] <Roasted> squigle, what did you chance?
[13:16] <Twinlator> Roasted, but it just came out a fewer days!
[13:16] <knownasilya_> enzotib: thanks :)
[13:16] <Petskull> also there used to be a countdown on the website
[13:16] <zoopp> Hello. 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?
[13:16] <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.
[13:17] <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?
[13:18] <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
[13:19] <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?
[13:20] <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
[13:21] <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.
[13:22] <connelly> Roasted: ok, brb
[13:23] <Rurd2di> anyone find the sleep function is broken in latest ubuntu
[13:23] <Rurd2di> if i close my lid it dosent restart well
[13:23] <firestorm> hi there

[13:23] <Rurd2di> should have stuck with 11.10
[13:23] <Rurd2di> :(
[13:24] <nicekiwi> L8, yay it works now. but i cant login. when I set it up I set the password to nothing. but it wont accept that
[13:24] <suryak> what is the status of power dissipation bug in 12.04 LTS? I use lenovo
[13:24] <suryak> can anyone help me on it
[13:25] <captbunz1> hey ubuntu-ers.
[13:25] <dadanopan> hey there, is there a way to change a icon on the unity launcher?
[13:25] <ljsoftnet> suryak is it a clean install?
[13:25] <captbunzo> I'm trying to upgrade an Ubuntu server from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS
[13:25] <captbunzo> however, 12.04 isn't coming up as an option
[13:25] <ljsoftnet> dadanopan have you tried myunity its in ubuntu software center
[13:25] <captbunzo> am I being silly here?
[13:25] <suryak> @<ljsoftnet yeah
[13:26] <suryak> @ljsoftnet yeah
[13:26] <Rurd2di> captbunzo: may have to roll through 11 updates
[13:26] <connelly> Roasted: reboot didn't even fix it - despite changing the themes it isn't changing anything (tried w/ normal and gksu)
[13:26] <L3top> captbunzo: one second.
[13:26] <ljsoftnet> captbunzo someone had the same problem as you did but it was xubuntu
[13:26] <Roasted> connelly, what theme is currently in use?
[13:26] <Rurd2di> 11.04, then 11.1- to get there
[13:26] <jMCg> hey foks o/
[13:26] <Rurd2di> *11.10
[13:27] <Twinlator> captbunzo, i,m silly more than U
[13:27] <connelly> Roasted: Ambiance - but I tried changing it to multiple other things with no effect
[13:27] <dadanopan> ljsoftnet, ive tried myunity i can change the icon size, but not the icon itself
[13:27] <captbunzo> do-release-upgrade has prompted me to upgrade to maverick
[13:27] <joaojeronimo> Guys my trackpad is too slow in Precise Pangolin, it was fine in 11.10, I can't make it faster in the system settings and it's really annoying me... Also I can't use the scroll with two fingers anymore... Anyone knows where I can activate these again ?
[13:27] <ljsoftnet> suryak maybe its just the battery applet, try a different battery monitor app
[13:27] <connelly> Roasted: would erasing .gconf fix it?
[13:27] <ljsoftnet> dadanopan ah ok
[13:27] <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] <Roasted> connelly, I said that assuming you knew terminal commands. If you need a bit more detail let me know.
[13:28] <captbunzo> ok. thanks folks
[13:28] <connelly> Roasted: no I know them quite well
[13:28] <Roasted> connelly, good deal. :D. I assume far too often these days.
[13:28] <dadanopan> ljsoftnet, do you know how to change an icon?
[13:28] <L3top> captbunzo: do-release-upgrade -d is correct
[13:28] <connelly> Roasted: oh.. there is no /usr/share/themes
[13:28] <ljsoftnet> dadanopan no idea
[13:28] <Roasted> connelly, I had an issue a while back where my themes were owned by root:root and they were 700 permissions, which locked me out of using them
[13:28] <dadanopan> ljsoftnet ok, but thank you :)
[13:28] <Twinlator> Q- sudo apt-get autoclean      what's this cmd fearture?
[13:28] <Roasted> connelly, back up one dir... /usr/share... ls- l... do you see icons listed by chance?
[13:29] <ljsoftnet> dadanopan no problem
[13:29] <connelly> Roasted: nevermind my screwup
[13:29] <Roasted> connelly, :D
[13:29] <Rurd2di> anyone else find sleep mode is broken when you reopen your machine/laptop
[13:29] <dadanopan> errr, whats faster lxde or xfce?
[13:29] <Rurd2di> mine just brings up lines
[13:29] <ljsoftnet> dadanopan maybe lxde
[13:29] <connelly> Roasted:
[13:29] <connelly> Roasted: http://pastebin.com/pAeJD2Fc
[13:30] <KM0201> dadanopan: IMO, no question, lxde
[13:30] <Loonatic> Hi, i got5 a fresh install from 12.04lts and i am trying to enable my dual screen so far mirror work fine but if i try extended i get this error msg
[13:30] <Roasted> connelly, I would think that's enough for you...
[13:30] <Loonatic> required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(3840, 1080), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1920, 1920)
[13:30] <captbunzo> jrib: is there something wrong with 12.04 that would be a good reason to note upgrade yet?
[13:30] <Orthogonal> Hi, does anyone know how to overcome the 'range out of sync' when running live/installing 12.04? Have tried setting vga etc but still no luck.
[13:30] <dadanopan> thanks ill try lxde on my netbook
[13:30] <Roasted> connelly, you'd fall under the last category... read/execute should be fine. write isn't needed for themes...
[13:30] <connelly> Roasted: I also get an error report popup for GSD on login
[13:30] <Roasted> connelly, any idea on the full log of that error?
[13:31] <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: I've since closed the dialong - is it stored somewhere in /var/log?
[13:31] <captbunzo> jrib: reading the release notes atm
[13:31] <systemclient> captbunzo: my ubuntu machine is upgrading, I can tell you more in a little bit
[13:31] <Roasted> connelly, yep, /var/log/syslog.
[13:31] <Roasted> connelly, syslog populates very quickly though, so you may have to do some insane digging.
[13:32] <captbunzo> systemclient: this is a server in a datacenter, so no login screen for me
[13:32] <connelly> Roasted: http://pastebin.com/6nfF0dTy
[13:33] <Roasted> connelly, looks like MyUnity is another GUI that supports theme changes.
[13:33] <Dan_E> How do I hide the icon dock?
[13:33] <yellabs-r2> hello there
[13:33] <Roasted> connelly, I recently came from Gnome Shell (I hated Unity until 12.04), and they used Gnoem Tweak Tool for that.
[13:33] <captbunzo> note to self: remove smb from this server
[13:33] <Roasted> connelly, I wonder if MyUnity would make a difference?
[13:33] <Roasted> CaptainKnots, I love samba... what's up with it?
[13:33] <connelly> Roasted: installing now..
[13:33] <captbunzo> Roasted: just that I don't need it for a server in a datacenter
[13:34] <captbunzo> on my local machine it's great :)
[13:34] <Roasted> captbunzo, good call on realizing I was aiming for you. I tab failed. :(
[13:34] <yellabs-r2> i wnato make and burn dvd's for a project, so i tried to install devede in 12.04 i get an message of packages i should uninstall, ? any tips of whats the story ?
[13:34] <captbunzo> lol
[13:34] <Roasted> captbunzo, I took that as a frustration comment that you were removing samba. :P
[13:34] <jforman> hey guys, so i just upgraded to 12.04 and now grub is giving me a "error: no such partition response" when i try to boot the new 3.2 kernel. i've read i need to boot from the live cd again and run boot-repair. is this really the solution?
[13:34] <nicekiwi> how can I reconfigure the passwords for LAMP mysql and phpmyadmin
[13:34] <nicekiwi> ?
[13:34] <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...
[13:35] <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] <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?
[13:36] <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
[13:37] <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.
[13:38] <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?
[13:39] <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] <Rajvi> Hello all stuck here with Ubuntu 12.04, I am not unable to login in my user account,however seems that I can login in terminal,but not even able to start the graphics server.Please help :(
[13:39] <captbunzo> normatif: I usually do my upgrades from within the GUI
[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?
[13:40] <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
[13:41] <L3top> it was working fine in 1204?
[13:41] <connelly> Roasted: ugh.. I'm not looking forward to having to re-build this system from scratch..
[13:41] <Rajvi> Its a Toshiba - Satellite M50 .
[13:41] <decksmasher> Hi..if i upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 from 10.10 will it mess with all my settings compiz/prog/etc..asking becouse its quite a big upgrade from gnome.?
[13:41] <Roasted> connelly, I'm not convinced you have to, but I'm also not convinced of where the issue is either.
[13:41] <L3top> Rajvi: lspci -nn | grep VGA
[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
[13:42] <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] <normatif> I only asked for an English install, but Language Support also shows 2 chinese locales installed. Is this normal?
[13:42] <resmo> zoopp: ok, i see... did you wait for a while?
[13:42] <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. Btw this card works flawless under
[13:42] <Fizzik> windows 7
[13:43] <resmo> zoopp: did you have internet connectivity?
[13:43] <guest007> sorry i think i found it now
[13:43] <zoopp> resmo: for about 30 minutes. The HDD led was blinking from time to time.
[13:43] <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] <captbunzo> that'll be more fun! :)
[13:43] <Roasted> connelly, how did you install 12.04? upgrade?
[13:44] <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] <uzf> Welp, I decided to risk it and do a dist upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04
[13:44] <uzf> (sudo update-manager -d)

[13:46] <L3top> I have no idea what you are referring to Rullakee1ab.
[13:46] <resmo> zoopp: ctrl-alt-f1?
[13:46] <uzf> 12.04 better not be full of bugs
[13:46] <squigle> Roasted, i have it worked now
[13:46] <L3top> uzf all OSs have bugs on the day of release.
[13:46] <zoopp> resmo: I'll try it. But what should I if it works?
[13:46] <jrib> karthick87: I told you how: experiment on one machine with gconftool.  If that works, great.  If not, then you must use gsettings + dconf.  But your priority should be to update to a supported release imo.
[13:46] <connelly> actually more likely: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/969535

[13:48] <Carbon_Monoxide> Installation of 12.04 64bit on VirtualBox 4.1.14 got auto close problem. It closed itself during copying files.
[13:48] <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] <uzf> are the ubuntu servers getting destroyed by downloads right now?   200KB/sec?
[13:48] <Roasted> squigle, nice! what did you do?
[13:48] <endafy> ok so I buy and download world of goo and it doesnt start what gives?
[13:49] <ssta> don't dist-upgrade.  use "do-release-upgrade"
[13:49] <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] <uzf> too late
[13:49] <endafy> anyone else have some games not working?
[13:49] <ssta> or just reinstall...upgrades don't work anywhere near as well as they ought to
[13:49] <uzf> I wonder if nexuiz is actually something besides 2.5.2
[13:49] <connelly> Roasted: it says that there is a fix committed, but I just did an update...
[13:50] <captbunzo> normatif: I don't know if it is normal. But I'd personally not worry about it.
[13:50] <i7c> nca: now :P
[13:50] <endafy> why wont my paid for application work?

[13:52] <uzf> run in a terminal and debug it
[13:52] <endafy> couple applications are doing this with 12.04
[13:53] <endafy> I may go back a version
[13:53] <endafy> to 11.10
[13:53] <L3top> endafy: your gpu nvidia by chance?
[13:53] <uzf> you could always fix it yourself and commit the patch to the source
[13:53] <endafy> L3top, with drivers
[13:53] <endafy> L3top, so yeah
[13:53] <squigle> im using unity and i dont hate it!
[13:54] <endafy> L3top, lots of other things seemingly work without much of an issue just a couple applications dont start at all
[13:54] <normatif> I installed from i386 ISO, but the kernel is PAE, is this normal?
[13:54] <L3top> endafy: some issues affecting some nvidia right now, not sure if this is related.... as uzf said... you can try and debug it.
[13:54] <endafy> this one in particular I paid 20 bucks for, not much money per say just an annoyance
[13:55] <hassan> hi
[13:55] <hassan> anyone?
[13:55] <L3top> !ask | hassan
[13:57] <fellayaboy> is it possible to add a text of string to a path...for instance...when i want to ssh onto a machine i would write ssh myuser@myuser.dyndns.org ...is there a way that i can create myuser@myuser.dyndns.org into a string as short as myhome so thatn when i ssh i can just use ssh myhome and bam
[13:58] <i7c> nca
[13:58] <joaojeronimo> is there any reason why synclient appears to not be working in 12.04 ?
[13:58] <endafy> L3top, yeah it is nvidia
[13:58] <i7c>  :D
[13:58] <endafy> Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[13:58] <i7c> nca: does it work now?
[13:58] <jrib> fellayaboy: ah, you should learn the wonders of ~/.ssh/config .  Let me pastebin an example for you.
[13:58] <nca> i7c: yeah
[13:58] <endafy> then when I look at the log file it looks like textures cause it to crash
[13:58] <i7c> nca: it was the proxy?
[13:58] <nca> i7c: wanted to kick myself, I set the SPI firewall in DD-WRT to filter java applets
[13:58] <fellayaboy> jrib ok thanks but also i would like to do that for other programs in general if its possible
[13:58] <nca> i7c: :P
[13:58] <i7c> lool :D
[13:58] <fellayaboy> such as for sftp etc
[13:58] <endafy> this has never happened to me before
[13:59] <jrib> fellayaboy: would work for sftp as well.  Anything that uses ssh
[13:59] <endafy> so how do I fix it?
[13:59] <nicekiwi> how can I reconfigure the passwords for LAMP mysql and phpmyadmin?
[13:59] <fellayaboy> oh ok that works good then
[13:59] <nca> i7c: It dawned on me when my roommate told me he couldn't get onto facebook
[13:59] <jrib> fellayaboy: here's an example: http://paste.ubuntu.com/952520/ Then I can just do "ssh linode".  See « man ssh_config ».  In general, I guess you could define a variable like « linode=www.linode.com » and then use $linode everywhere you want www.linode.com
[13:59] <devis_> hello
[13:59] <LinuxGuy2009> Is 12.04 based off of debian testing or sid?
[14:00] <i7c> nca: are you filtering everybody's traffic there? :P
[14:00] <zoopp> rsumo: I can't access a shell trought ctrl + alt + f1 and disabling apparmor didn't help
[14:00] <endafy> im going to install the nvidia driver from nvidia.com and see if it fixes it
[14:00] <endafy> seems the Ubuntu driver is out of date
[14:00] <fellayaboy> thanks jrib
[14:00] <L3top> endafy: from what I have gleaned it is an Xorg issue, some API changed.
[14:00] <devis_> help me
[14:00] <endafy> ill let everyone know if the newer driver works
[14:00] <endafy> aha ok
[14:00] <i7c> !ask | devis_
[14:00] <nca> i7c: for a period of a couple days, yeah!
[14:00] <endafy> so yeah a driver update may fix it
[14:01] <L3top> let us know endafy
[14:01] <endafy> installing drivers and brb I have to change kitty litter
[14:01] <fellayaboy> jrib where would i put linode=user@user.linode.host
[14:01] <BluesKaj> endafy, good luck but I doubt that the propriestary driver will make any difference
[14:01] <UICTamale> another ubuntu release.. another attempt to use the upgrade tool.. another completely hosed system forcing me to start from scratch with everything :(
[14:01] <fellayaboy> so that i could use $linode whenever iw ant
[14:01]  * L3top nods
[14:01] <kamilnadeem> Hi
[14:02] <jrib> fellayaboy: ~/.profile I guess
[14:02] <fellayaboy> hmm okay
[14:02] <kamilnadeem> I am having screen refresh rate issue with nvidia drivers
[14:02] <jrib> fellayaboy: maybe ~/.bash_profile is more appropriate
[14:02] <fellayaboy> thanks jrib ur awesome
[14:02] <fellayaboy> hmm perhaps ur right
[14:02] <fellayaboy> ill check both
[14:02] <kamilnadeem> http://askubuntu.com/q/126928/22760
[14:02] <devis_> my sceen is on the left in ubuntu 12.04
[14:02] <fellayaboy> thnanks man
[14:02] <devis_> what i do?
[14:02] <kamilnadeem> I have provided all the necessary info theer
[14:03] <uzf> UICTamale: I expect I will be in that boat soon enough
[14:03] <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] <UICTamale> uzf: 6 years of ubuntu.. 12 failed upgrades.  I wish just once it worked
[14:03] <uzf> yep
[14:03] <sourchimp> Just installed 12.04 ran upgrade and it is holding back a kernel update, is it best to do a  apt-get dist-upgrade or wait ?
[14:03] <endafy> yeah still nothing
[14:03] <uzf> usually if I can get to X11, I can recover
[14:03] <fellayaboy> great so .bashrc seems just right
[14:03] <endafy> how do I downgrade xorg lol
[14:03] <L3top> uzf: Dist upgrade only ever works for me on fresh install
[14:03] <jrib> UICTamale: weird, I've upgraded since 4.10 and only had one issue (that was in the release notes)
[14:04] <fellayaboy> i wouldnt want to reboot and have it source at login or logout
[14:04] <UICTamale> same system every time I take it?
[14:04] <compdoc> I want to upgrade a box thats running 11.04. I want to erase the boot drive and install 12.04 from scratch, but I need to keep the conf files, etc. that I modified over time so I can reinstall the services that are running. Is there a program out there that can help with that?
[14:04] <fellayaboy> rather everytime i make a change
[14:04] <UICTamale> is it a laptop, out of curiosity?
[14:04] <uzf> luckily I backed all my stuff up to my laptop
[14:04] <zoopp> resmo: I can't access a shell trought ctrl + alt + f1 and disabling apparmor didn't help
[14:04] <devis_> ok in the sistem >monitor i have a portatle screen but isn't true
[14:04] <uzf> so if I am forced to reinstall, I am using the USB key method
[14:04] <endafy> whatever ill contact canonical and ask for a 20$ refund for game this sucks
[14:04] <uzf> cause I got tired of buy DVD/CDrs
[14:04] <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
[14:05] <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
[14:06] <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
[14:07] <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
[14:08] <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
[14:09] <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)
[14:10] <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
[14:11] <uzf> an strange stuff out of /var/log/messages?
[14:11] <kamilnadeem> http://askubuntu.com/q/126928/22760 I have given more info about the problem here
[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?
[14:12] <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.
[14:13] <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?
[14:14] <uzf> do they have an ATI script like nvidia-xconfig?
[14:14] <uzf> 3.2 is it
[14:14] <L3top> aticonfig I believe...
[14:15] <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> that sucked, using lynx to get drivers
[14:15] <UICTamale> L3top: I tried fglrx a bit ago and it didn't let me use external monitors
[14:15] <BluesKaj> Fizzik, sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[14:15] <UICTamale> maybe that's been fixed.
[14:16] <UICTamale> ugh Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.2.0-24-generic (x86_64)
[14:16] <uzf> heh
[14:16] <uzf> Welcome to Free
[14:16] <LucasCampos> Hey, is someone else having issues when trying to use a headphone on Ubuntu 12.04?
[14:16] <uzf> although, I'd rather battle it out with linux than having windows screwup every 5 mins or force me to reboot
[14:17] <LinuxGuy2009> LucasCampos: Soundcard not working? Or are your headphones not working?
[14:17] <Youssef_KH> hi
[14:17] <UICTamale> These days windows is my fall back.  But using putty or kitty instead of gnome-terminal is a sure-fire way to kill my productivity and will to go on...
[14:17] <uzf> damn, fetching file 1369 of 2906....... taking forever
[14:17] <LucasCampos> LinuxGuy2009: Headphone
[14:17] <Youssef_KH> i NEED TO READ A .BIN File ?
[14:17] <LinuxGuy2009> LucasCampos: Plug them into something else and make sure there not broken first.
[14:18] <nicekiwi> how can I reconfigure the passwords for LAMP mysql and phpmyadmin?
[14:18] <L3top> !libgl1-mesa-glx > L3top
[14:18] <uzf> Folks: Please quit upgrading and downloading packages, I need bandwidth
[14:18] <UICTamale> k wish me luck.. rebooting.
[14:18] <compdoc> UICTamale, you looking for a decent ssh client for windows?
[14:18] <UICTamale> compdoc: Heh, I suppose so
[14:18] <uzf> securecrt is the best windows client
[14:18] <Youssef_KH> i NEED TO READ A .BIN File ?
[14:18] <LinuxGuy2009> uzf: Try a different mirror?
[14:18] <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
[14:19] <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
[14:20] <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 *
[14:21] <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?
[14:22] <LinuxGuy2009> LucasCampos: DId you check for mutes etc?
[14:22] <UICTamale> cool, I'll give it a shot
[14:22] <LucasCampos> LinuxGuy2009: Yep
[14:22] <UICTamale> rebooting for now.. wish me luck.
[14:22] <LinuxGuy2009> LucasCampos: Is it a PCI card or onboard?
[14:23] <LucasCampos> LinuxGuy2009: Onboard
[14:23] <kapz> Hi I just upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04, I use gnome-shell and had lots of extensions but after upgrade in gnome-tweak-tool the extensions can't be turned back on! help
[14:23] <LinuxGuy2009> LucasCampos: I would google like mad for a solution for sure.
[14:23] <LinuxGuy2009> LucasCampos: Little stuff like that made me quit using Ubuntu as my main OS.
[14:23] <nicekiwi> how can I reconfigure the passwords for LAMP mysql and phpmyadmin?
[14:24] <LucasCampos> It made me quit Fedora
[14:24] <uzf> nicekiwi: reconfigure?
[14:24] <LinuxGuy2009> LucasCampos: I hear ya.
[14:24] <LucasCampos>  LinuxGuy2009: Exactly this issue made me leave Fedora
[14:24] <nicekiwi> uzf, yeah.. phpmyadmins not accepting the password i set/didnt set. how do i set it up again?
[14:24] <uzf>  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow phpmyadmin
[14:25] <nicekiwi> uzf,and for mysql>
[14:25] <nicekiwi> ?
[14:25] <uzf> I dont know
[14:25] <LinuxGuy2009> LucasCampos: Any idea what chipset?
[14:25] <uzf> same thing, add mysqld
[14:26] <LucasCampos> LinuxGuy2009: I'd guess Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family)
[14:26] <nicekiwi> uzf dosnt work
[14:26] <LucasCampos> LinuxGuy2009: Yeah, that is it Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
[14:26] <LinuxGuy2009> LucasCampos: hmm Did you check BIOS to make sure its enabled?
[14:26] <cobra> Yo
[14:26] <Jacky> yo
[14:27] <LinuxGuy2009> oy
[14:27] <cobra> wss up all !!!
[14:27] <LucasCampos> LinuxGuy2009: No, because it works throught the default speaker. It is a notebook, BTW
[14:27] <Mayazcherquoi> Wow, second nautilus crash today lol
[14:27] <OerHeks> LucasCampos, i had same issue, headphone does not mute oudio out, i had to disable "plug&play os" in the bios
[14:28] <LinuxGuy2009> LucasCampos: Oh I see.
[14:28] <cobra> @ mayaz i have no problems with nautilus lol
[14:28] <Mayazcherquoi> cobra: It's crashing on moi :(
[14:28] <LinuxGuy2009> LucasCampos: Maybe there is a driver regression or bug.
 how's the crash ?
[14:29] <mitpatterson> Hey folks
[14:30] <Mayazcherquoi> cobra: Happens when using the context menu (or so I believe/think I observed). Sent the info to Ubuntu devs though, so hopefully they can sort it all out :)
[14:30] <LucasCampos> LinuxGuy2009: I'll try to disable Plug&Play OS. Also, here is the output of alsa-script
[14:30] <cobra> Where is PlayOnLinux Users :D !!!
[14:30] <LucasCampos> LinuxGuy2009: BRB
[14:30] <lcn> I tried the upgrade to 12. It stopped near the end after showing installing an adobe add on. I did a normal shutdown and restart. The desktop comes up but mouse and keyboard do not respond. Is there a document somewhere for me to read or do I have to wait for Monday for Canonical?
[14:31] <mitpatterson> I got a question, On my Ideapad Z570 I have Ubuntu 11.10 installed, and it was working, but recently it stopped detecting the battery, and also it is dog slow for internet access(maining on a friends wifi) but I'm on the same lappy on a live boot of 11.04 and it works fine for battery and browsing speeds. ideas? besides reinstall?
[14:31] <LinuxGuy2009> LucasCampos: One of my beliefs is, if I cant trust my OS to do simple tasks like that, I sure cant trust it to do any real work.
[14:31] <silv3r_m00n> if I use this http://www.ebay.in/itm/Vga-3-RCA-Cable-Pc-Desktop-Laptop-TV-/190672075233?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item2c64f0f9e1#ht_797wt_1141   with my laptop to output to tv , do I need any additional software or will it work straightaway ?
[14:32] <escott> silv3r_m00n, you will probably have some issues getting the correct modeline
[14:32] <silv3r_m00n> so what do I have to do then ?
[14:32] <silv3r_m00n> any configuration in ubuntu or software ?
[14:33] <tgary> Hi! Is there a way in ubuntu to _disable_ services? (E.g. not only stop lightdm, but remove from the runlevels?)
[14:33] <sre> Anyone know if there is a alpha build ready for Quantal Quetzal ?
[14:33] <escott> silv3r_m00n, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[14:33] <L3top> tgary update-rc.d -f remove <script>
[14:35] <llehel> Is there a way to stop the new unity feature that changes the colour of the launcher and notifications that matches them to the wallpaper in 12.04?
[14:36] <mitpatterson> I got a question, On my Ideapad Z570 I have Ubuntu 11.10 installed, and it was working, but recently it stopped detecting the battery, and also it is dog slow for internet access(maining on a friends wifi) but I'm on the same lappy on a live boot of 11.04 and it works fine for battery and browsing speeds. ideas? besides reinstall?
[14:36] <john_doe> after upgrading to 12.04, I no longer have /dev/mixer. How can I get sound again?
[14:36] <nicekiwi> uzf, finally got there :) thanks for ur help
[14:36] <tgary> L3top: Uhh, somehow I didn't find it. Thanks!
[14:37] <LucasCampos> LinuxGuy2009: There wasn't any options like that on BIOS
[14:39] <yellabs-r2> i need to convert ogv ( theora video ) to the highest quality dvd player format possible, whats my options ( think professional video work )..
[14:39] <van7hu> hi everyone, what is difference between "smbd" and "samba4", could I install both two?
[14:39] <Cybertinus> hello. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 now on a fresh install. I'm configuring some VPN connections in Network Manager. Each connection works perfectly OK. But I want to make multiple VPN connections at the same time. Is this possible with Network Manager?
[14:40] <john_doe> ok my bad, /dev/mixer is not supposed to be there anymore....
[14:42] <L3top> LucasCampos: just for fun: amixaud=$(amixer | grep Simple | cut -d' ' -f4,5,6 | sort | uniq); for output in $amixaud; do amixer sset $output unmute; amixer sset output 80%; done 2>/dev/null; alsactl store
[14:43] <LucasCampos> L3top: What will it do?
[14:43] <L3top> That will blow open all outputs and set vol at 80%... though I am not at all convinced it will help... it will not hurt anything.
[14:44] <LucasCampos> L3top: Didn't help =)
[14:44] <LucasCampos> But didn't hurt
[14:44] <L3top> worth the shot.
[14:44] <cuddylier> Hi
[14:44] <cuddylier> How do I unrar a file?
[14:44] <LucasCampos> L3top: But didn't set the vol to 80%
[14:44] <cuddylier> What program down I download?
[14:45] <L3top> open alsamixer
[14:45] <LucasCampos> cuddylier: Download unrar
[14:45] <cuddylier> Command?
[14:45] <LucasCampos> sudo apt-get install unrar
[14:46] <LucasCampos> Then you can use the default manager
[14:46] <LucasCampos> L3top: Done. Master is on 37, Speaker 100, and Headphone 100
[14:46] <fahmyboy> Hi...Newbie here.  Just installed 12.04 and wireless has stopped working
[14:46] <fahmyboy> would love some help
[14:46] <L3top> weird... thanks...
[14:47] <tgary> L3top: Sorry, I found the command and run succesfully. I think it deleted something, but after reboot lightdm starts again.
[14:47] <L3top> hmm... it is not in 1204... interesting...
[14:47] <Travis-42> I have an Nvidia card. In Ubuntu 12.04 when I go to "Additional Drivers" I am given the option of "version current" or "post-release updates/version current-updates" Which do I want?
[14:47] <L3top> tgary: that command will not delete anything, just remove all instances of the script from runlevels
[14:48] <L3top> if you look in /etc/init.d you will see it still there.
[14:48] <LucasCampos> Travis-42: Those usually aren't quite updated
[14:48] <abis> I could not suddenly ssh to my ubuntu virtualbox vm .. i could ping the gw though from inside the vm
[14:48] <abis> strangeeeeeeeeeee
[14:48] <fahmyboy> is this the right place to ask for help?  or is there a room better suited for that?
[14:48] <L3top> This is ubuntu support fahmyboy. ask away.
[14:48] <LucasCampos> Travis-42: Use x-swat repo
[14:48] <LucasCampos> Travis-42:
[14:48] <LucasCampos> udo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
[14:48] <LucasCampos> sudo apt-get update
[14:48] <LucasCampos> sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[14:49] <fahmyboy> hey L3Top
[14:49] <fahmyboy> installed 12.04 last week and have been trying to get my wireless working for a week
[14:49] <tgary> L3top: I thought from the message: "Removing any system startup links". But lightdm service starts again after reboot. Is there a way to disable it?
[14:49] <jackbrownhf> hey  can anyone see http://jackbrown.broker.freenet6.net/
[14:49] <LucasCampos> Travis-42: There it is on 290.40 nowadays
[14:49] <fahmyboy> I have an hp g42  amd 64 bit.  with a broadcom wireless model
[14:50] <Travis-42> LucasCampos, ok, thanks
[14:50] <LucasCampos> jackbrownhf: I cannot
[14:50] <jackbrownhf> LucasCampos: tnx
[14:50] <LucasCampos> Travis-42: You're welcome
[14:50] <mitpatterson> I got a question, On my Ideapad Z570 I have Ubuntu 11.10 installed, and it was working, but recently it stopped detecting the battery, and also it is dog slow for internet access(maining on a friends wifi) but I'm on the same lappy on a live boot of 11.04 and it works fine for battery and browsing speeds. ideas? besides reinstall?
[14:51] <L3top> ofor the record LucasCampos, 12o4 is using a 295...
[14:51] <zivester> anyone know where to start with a 3.2 kernel that won't boot after upgrade to 12.04... 3.0 kernel works though
[14:51] <xyyz> I'm running ubuntu 11.10, are PPA sources automatically changed to the right distro when I dist-upgrade to 12.04?
[14:51] <LucasCampos> L3Top: Oh, cool. I had not tested the default one on 12.04
[14:51] <LucasCampos> L3top: Thanks
[14:52] <L3top> Travis-42: cp /etc/X11/default-display-manager /etc/X11/ddm.bu; echo "/bin/false" > /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[14:52] <frybye> Hi - I have 12.04 just installed canon pixma mp280 printer but not working - any tips? Testpage does not print etc..
[14:52] <subb1> hi all
[14:53] <Travis-42> L3top, I'm sorry, what are you suggesting I do?
[14:53] <jackbrownhf> LucasCampos: can u try again pls http://jackbrown.broker.freenet6.net/
[14:53] <subb1> in 12.04, is there the option to choose the classic gnome( i really dislike the new 3.0 gnome) at user login?
[14:53] <LucasCampos> jackbrownhf: Same problem
[14:54] <jackbrownhf> LucasCampos: tnx  says connection refused ? right ?
[14:54] <LucasCampos> subb1: Try installing gnome-panel
[14:54] <LucasCampos>  jackbrownhf: Couldn't acquire a connection
[14:54] <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] <frybye> just noticed it says that device uri is at "parallel:/dev/pl0" but this printer is on usb???
[14:55] <jackbrownhf> LucasCampos: tnx
[14:56] <xtjacob> does anyone know handbrake would only convert part of a video?
[14:56] <frybye> thanks folks it just fixed itself.. suddenly came up - connected via usb"" and started working...
[14:56] <nca> is anyone else an openconnect user? Been experiencing issues with DNS servers not being passed along to the new resolvconf configuration....
[14:56] <bazhang> xtjacob, corrupted source most likely
[14:56] <mitpatterson> Does anyone have any ideas for the question i asked?
[14:57] <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] <uzf> mitpatterson: run top?  see what is eating the resources?
[14:57] <L3top> tgary:  cp /etc/X11/default-display-manager /etc/X11/ddm.bu; echo "/bin/false" > /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[14:57] <subb1> LucasCampos, I did not try now. but googling says it works, and will definitely !
[14:58] <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] <L3top> fahmyboy: lspci | grep ireles
[14:59] <uzf> do a tcpdump, is something going haywire?
[14:59] <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: but i don't want to remove unity completely
[14:59] <fahmyboy> 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
[14:59] <mitpatterson> possibly, but the same lappy, running it off my usb key everything works as intented
[14:59] <koro> uzf: you mean i should reinstall? i already tried reinstalling alll the unity-lens things
[14:59] <xtjacob> oh wow. I did not notice that, I just assumed if it was messed up the whole thing wouldn't play. Thanks!
[14:59] <karthick87> xls file got corrupted which contains more datas. I badly need that file any ways to recover ?

[15:07] <UICTamale> had to download a live usb and run boot-repair a few times
[15:07] <tgary> L3top: Is it only for lightdm, or for all services some trick must be used? But finally it works. Thanks the help!
[15:07] <frybye> more precisely - the scanner part of a mp280 multifunction thingy...
[15:07] <UICTamale> L3top: thanks, looks like the video driver is working fine now

[15:08] <OerHeks> frybye, there are 32/64 bit linux drivers on http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010883.asp
[15:08] <asterisk-Tester> i saved the images from : http://vaxa.wvnet.edu/vmswww/bmp.html        (The image below is a 32 bit 888 bitfield version 4 BMP. )
[15:09] <frybye> OerHeks I am pretty sure I hve the software - but am not installing it right.. or at least dosent work with gimp
[15:09] <belkinsa> Hi, my firefox doesn't want to open 12.04.  It keeps on telling me that the process is still running, but when I check it is not running.
[15:09] <LucasCampos> belkinsa: Try to use killall firefox
[15:09] <popey> asterisk-Tester: i can't open that on 12.04
[15:10] <scar3crow> std0s: lmao, I logged in via ff and my sync is zooming... go figure
[15:10] <L3top> killall -9 firefox
[15:10] <belkinsa> No proccess found- it gives me that.
[15:10] <eutheria> i would just like to say ubuntu 12.04 upgraded and didn't turn my custom setup into a giant mess
[15:10] <popey> asterisk-Tester: gimp can't open it either ⍨
[15:10] <abis> ps -ef | grep -i firefox
[15:10] <UICTamale> eutheria: Awesome.. you're a lucky one :D
[15:10] <frybye> OerHeks: oh it seems to be different.. thanks for the tip...
[15:10] <asterisk-Tester> popey: ok thx.... weird though
[15:11] <L3top> belkinsa: ps aux| grep firefox
[15:11] <Stephan35> ïðèâåò
[15:11] <eutheria> UICTamale, i have so many ppa's i was sure i was about to get a brick
[15:11] <L3top> er.... or that

[15:11] <Stephan35> êòî ãîâðèò ïî ðóññêè
[15:11] <leo-unglaub> hi guys, is the use of apt-p2p still recommended?
[15:11] <UICTamale> Any suggestions for improving battery life? In win7 I get around 6 hours.. ubuntu is telling me I have 45 minutes with 99% remaining
[15:11] <belkinsa> It gives me this: 2624  2546  0 11:10 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i firefox
[15:11] <popey> asterisk-Tester: they're fine in the browser
[15:11] <belkinsa> Firefox is in red
[15:11] <asterisk-Tester> test32v5.bmp opens fine though
[15:11] <uzf> Fetching file 2312 of 2906....
[15:11] <L3top> that is just the grep belkinsa firfox is not running it would appear
[15:11] <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.
[15:12] <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?
[15:13] <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] <geogeek> Hey...can I report a bug here?
[15:13] <uzf> geogeek: you do it through launchpad.net
[15:13] <jrib> !bugs | geogeek
[15:13] <belkinsa> I forgot to tell you that I have the old setting files (the hidden ones in home folder) from my old 11.10.  Is that the issue?
[15:13] <geogeek> Thanks.
[15:14] <fahmyboy> Hi, I tried installed the StaHybrid driver as per the threard that you sent me
[15:14] <uzf> UICTamale: I have about 600 packages to d/l before my system is screwed up :)
[15:14] <fahmyboy> still no luck

[15:14] <Stephan35> êòî ãîâîðèò ïî ðóñêè?

[15:14] <Stephan35> ?

[15:15] <uzf> dang
[15:15] <ezoe> There is /usr/share/pulse-alsa.conf. But I think it isn't used at all.
[15:15] <uzf> grub got screwed up?  I thought you had a graphics problem
[15:15] <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.
[15:16] <uzf> honestly, I will be *AMAZED* if this dist upgrade works
[15:16] <L3top> !fr | Stephan35
[15:16] <L3top> hmmm... thats probably wrong... lol
[15:16] <ezoe> aplay -L doesn show default to use hardware if I don't create .asoundrc with the text exactly same with pulse-audio.conf.
[15:16] <xtjacob> I have a problem with unity, whenever I minimize the copy dialogue I cannot get it to come back. Clicking show copy dialogue doesn't do anything...
[15:17] <fahmyboy> l3Top: are you still around?
[15:17] <bravery> the ubuntu community has to stop recommending an upgrade as it fails mostly
[15:17] <L3top> I am

[15:17] <finnbob3334> don't want to sound like a newbie, but can you use i386 programs in amd64 ubuntu like in windows?
[15:17] <koolbuntu> hey everyone
[15:18] <belkinsa> My firefox is still not working.  Does anyone have other suggestions?
[15:18] <koolbuntu> i wonder how to disable password at startup on lubuntu
[15:18] <koolbuntu> i modified lxdm.conf
[15:18] <finnbob3334> use a different browser like google chrome
[15:18] <koolbuntu> setting timeout to 0
 rm ./firefox helped me
[15:18] <L3top> ezoe: pulse and alsa never play nice together in my experience.
[15:18] <bravery> finnbob3334, u have to download deb package for 64bit otherwise wont work
[15:18] <ssta> finnbob3334: yes
[15:18] <L3top> fahmyboy: yes?
[15:19] <belkinsa> impo: It says that I don't have that.
[15:19] <finnbob3334> ok, just that i can't get citrix reciever to work properly on my
[15:19] <impo> sri rm ./mozilla, not firefox
[15:19] <finnbob3334> laptop!
[15:19] <fahmyboy> l3top: i tried installing the stahybrid driver as per the post that was sent me
[15:19] <koolbuntu> do i have to remove the #  before timeout=0 ?
[15:19] <fahmyboy> using synaptic manager
[15:19] <L3top> ezoe: and it is tough to fault alsa if alsa works until you install pulse.
[15:19] <fahmyboy> wireless still doesnt work
[15:20] <DokDa> Hi all!
[15:20] <bravery> koolbuntu, no
[15:20] <ezoe> L3top: copy /usr/share/alsa/pulse-asla.conf to home directory and name it .asoundrc.
[15:20] <impo> and restart firefox
[15:20] <ssta> finnbob3334: ia32-libs
[15:20]  * L3top doesnt use pulse. At all.
[15:20] <finnbob3334> ok!
[15:20] <koolbuntu> bravery : why it did not work then?
[15:20] <L3top> one second fahmyboy.
[15:20] <solstice> hi. I have some temporary freeze of Xorg with nvidia drier 295.40 with ubuntu 12.04. I already had the same problem on archlinux though.  it works without problem with nouveau. so it's clearly a problem with nvidia driver. anyone got similar problem with a geforce 8300GS ??
[15:20] <zivester> anyone know what "Timed out dropping to shell" and then a busybox means?
[15:20] <GOMI> my chrome does a little weird after some updates ? someone experience the same thing ?

[15:21] <belkinsa> Yup, that was the issue.  Thanks.
[15:21] <gcmx> so, is it juz me or downloading in ubuntu is much faster than windows??
[15:21] <bravery> koolbuntu, did u save it after editing?
[15:22] <impo> the source of problem though is not clear for me
[15:22] <Maya> gcmx: I find internet speed the same.
[15:22] <koolbuntu> bravery : ofc i did !
[15:22] <std0s> gcmx, its just you
[15:23] <UICTamale> uzf: in my experience, graphics problems and grub problems are almost always inevitable when trying to upgrade
[15:23] <L3top> fahmyboy: It says clearly that if the sta hybrid doesn't work to follow all of those other steps...
[15:24] <gcmx> maya: std0s: i tested downloading by downloading the dvd version of ubuntu in both my windows host machine and also in an ubuntu 11.10 guest machine and the ubuntu was always faster
[15:24] <snowrichard> hi
[15:24] <finnbob3334> i've downloaded libmotif4 from synaptic and installed it, then downloaded the citrix client from the web. i installed ia32-libs as well. i can open apps, but my school uses a dodgy certificate which i need to change. is there a gui for citrix?
[15:24] <bravery> koolbuntu, pls see this  http://askubuntu.com/questions/16371/how-to-disable-x-at-boot-time
[15:24] <L3top> fahmyboy: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer
[15:24] <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
[15:25] <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] <jrib> snowrichard: use a local mirror
[15:25] <koolbuntu> bravery : i just need to disable the password on startup
[15:25] <fahmyboy> b43-fwcutter is already the newest version.
[15:25] <koolbuntu> that's all
[15:26] <snowrichard> plus i am on a 3G wireless mifi box
[15:26] <gcmx> its even a guest in a virtual machine and it was much faster. I even closed it to dedicate the whole speed to windows only but the speed only climbed up by about 20kb/s. never reached the speed i had in ubuntu
[15:26] <snowrichard> so its worse
[15:26] <bravery> koolbuntu, u run the user application and see the option to disable it
[15:26] <std0s> i spose it could be your harddrive gcmx - its it very old?
[15:26] <snowrichard> I'm getting 4G but fedex could not find my house to deliver it on friday lol
[15:27]  * rymate1234 is setting up openbox + pypanel
[15:27] <compdoc> its funny, trying to install 12.04 Alt on my ssd, and it freezes when installing the core parts. But the regular desktop 12.04 installed seems to be installing fine
[15:27] <gcmx> std0s: actually its not, at all. I'm using a new core i7 pc
[15:27] <L3top> and the firmware nistaller fahmyboy?
[15:27] <bravery> koolbuntu, user accounts and make it yes to "automatic login"

[15:28] <snowrichard> house not moved lol
[15:28] <bravery> compdoc, can u say the brand name of ssd
[15:28] <gcmx> std0s: win7
[15:28] <L3top> Not sure what you are looking for snowrichard... servers are bogged, your connection is sporatic... it will take time... or you could wait a few days.
[15:28] <koolbuntu> bravery : what user application r we talking about?
[15:28] <gcmx> the ubuntu was even a virtual machine in the win7 host
[15:28] <vuongdothanhhuy> I've just update from Ubuntu 12.04 beta to the final one, but the updater got stuck at flash plugin, then I shutdown the computer. This morning I turned on my PC and try updating again, but it offered me a partial upgrade! What should I do?
[15:28] <bravery> koolbuntu, user account
[15:29] <fahmyboy> l3top: yes i installd the installer as well
[15:29] <koolbuntu> bravery . how do i access that from lubuntu?
[15:29] <snowrichard> i should have the 4G LTE from Verizon on Monday... if fedex can find my house lol
[15:29] <bravery> koolbuntu, it can be seen in the preference menu
[15:29] <koolbuntu> bravery : can i do that from startup menu ?
[15:29] <jwtiyar> after updating to 12.04 when install app give this error http://tinyurl.com/7yrssay , what to do?
[15:30] <L3top> fahmyboy: did you check your pci id version against the list?
[15:30] <L3top> fahmyboy: I mean... that page has everything that can be done to make that terrible card work... I will not be helpful if indeed you read, not skimmed it, and followed the steps.
[15:30] <rymate1234> hey

[15:31] <koolbuntu> bravery : nope there no such option
[15:31] <fahmyboy> i will reread from top to bottom and get back to you
[15:31] <gcmx> std0s I even tested both using the ubuntu torrent files too. ubuntu was still faster. I don't know, maybe there's something up with my pc haha
[15:31] <solexious> I seem to have to move my mouse fast between monitors to get it to switch, if I go slowly it seems to get a bit stuck. Any ideas?
[15:31] <YokoBR> i've downloaded the latest driver from ati and i install it, reboot and it's not working.
[15:31] <yomeister> How can I connect all my internet connections trough the vpn? At least the browser. The vpn is up and running but my browser doesn't route trough it! And I have to get it on and of trough a GUI (it's for my mom)

[15:32] <tiago> Hello everyone! Anyone here that uses Clementine under 12.04?
[15:32] <std0s> gcmx, is rthere something running in the background in windows?
[15:32] <robgraves> tiago: clementine is kickin'
[15:32] <bravery> koolbuntu, I cant say it exactly as I am from Ubuntu right now
[15:32] <bravery> compdoc, pls post ur qstn  again
[15:33] <robotti^_> compdoc: cool, I have same ssd on my desktop computer
[15:33] <nca> robgraves: Clementine does indeed rock
[15:33] <L3top> gcmx: what specifically did you download/install and how?
[15:33] <gcmx> std0s juz firefox and chrome
[15:33] <zykotick9> !info crossplatformui | jwtiyar
[15:33] <tiago> robgraves: I'm using it but the file folders are not like the icon theme that I am using
[15:33] <robgraves> tiago, actually i never used it until just recently, and i have to say i definately like it
[15:34] <YokoBR> plz, i just can't install the latest ati driver on ubuntu 10.04 lts
[15:34] <nca> tiago: as in, you're running a different icon theme for unity?
[15:34] <gcmx> downloaded Ubuntu 12.04 both 32 and 64bit versions in both windows and ubuntu 11.10. crazy huh, juz for fun
[15:34] <compdoc> robotti^_, how long have you used the ssd drive? is it your system/boot drive?
[15:34] <nca> tiago: and it doesn't match clementine
[15:34] <tiago> nca: I'm not using Unity, I'm running it under gnome..
[15:34] <robgraves> tiago: same for me i switche dmy icon set to franksouza, but the ones on clementine are still default
[15:35] <nca> tiago: same principles apply though :)
[15:35] <koolbuntu> bravery : according to ubuntu forum ---> autologin-user=username & autologin-user-timeout=0
[15:35] <tiago> robgraves: The same problem as my so, in 11.10 I hadn't this problem..
[15:35] <jwtiyar> ubottu, so i have to remove it?
[15:35] <koolbuntu> on lxdm.conf
[15:35] <L3top> gcmx: I mean ati wize
[15:35] <UICTamale> yuck.. gnome terminal has a huge border now?
[15:35] <robotti^_> compdoc: it is my system drive. It is over a year old
[15:35] <jwtiyar> zykotick9, so i have to remove it?
[15:35] <fahmyboy> l3top: i just want to make sure this page applies to 12.04 as well
[15:35] <zykotick9> jwtiyar: what is it?  where did you get it?
[15:35] <gcmx> l3top, ati?
[15:35] <compdoc> robotti^_, thanks. no issues?
[15:35] <fahmyboy> not just <= 11.10
[15:36] <nca> tiago: well, clementine isn't using nautilus, but it's own built in browser
[15:36] <nca> tiago: you'll have to do some poking around within clementine's config
[15:36] <robgraves> tiago: i wouldnt know as i just started using clementine right after my fresh install of 12.04, so i'm unsure how it worked on previous versions
[15:36] <PhantomPhreak53> What is safe to delete out of the /boot dir? Here is my uname and an output of my /boot dir?
[15:36] <jwtiyar> zykotick9, its an app to connect zte blade modeum
[15:36] <L3top> so sorry gcmx. I missed by a line...
[15:36] <jrib> PhantomPhreak53: nothing
[15:36] <robotti^_> compdoc: no other that, I should bought bigger, because I have two OSes installed there.
[15:36] <L3top> YokoBR: what specificall did you download and how?
[15:36] <tiago> nca: What must have I do to fix this? Thanks man
[15:36] <robotti^_> compdoc: windows 7 and ubuntu
[15:36] <jrib> PhantomPhreak53: (you should really just use your package manager)
[15:37] <zykotick9> jwtiyar: i see... well good luck (i can't help futher)
[15:37] <PhantomPhreak53> jrib: I do
[15:37] <jwtiyar> zykotick9, i have to remove it?
[15:37] <jrib> PhantomPhreak53: you can remove old kernels through the package manager
[15:37] <PhantomPhreak53> I ran a sudo apt-get autoremove as well
[15:37] <zykotick9> jwtiyar: i don't know what you should do... someone else will have to assist you.
[15:38] <YokoBR> L3top, amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run and installed ok.. but when i reboot, it's gone
[15:38] <jrib> PhantomPhreak53: kernel packages begin with "linux-image"
[15:38] <tiago> robgraves: On previous version It worked like a charm, if you changed your icons theme, in clementine it changed as well
[15:38] <uzf> only 300 more packages to go !
[15:38] <L3top> YokoBR: why did you not just use the packages in ubuntu?
[15:38] <YokoBR> wich ones?
[15:38] <PhantomPhreak53> ok. So what can I do to free up space in the /boot dir
[15:39] <uzf> phaedra: remove old images?
[15:39] <jrib> PhantomPhreak53: remove old kernels
[15:39] <L3top> xserver.xorg.video.ati for the open source or fglrx for proprietary if your card is supported.
[15:39] <robgraves> tiago, well maybe they'll have an update eventually that will incorporate that same functionaility
[15:40] <nca> tiago: not sure exactly, from a quick look, I can't see any config files associated with the program
[15:40] <L3top> er... sorry xserver.xorg.video.radeon
[15:40] <nca> just the executable binary
[15:40] <fefe_> Il est trache l'IRC ! O.o
[15:40] <L3top> YokoBR: lspci | grep VGA
[15:41] <tiago> robgraves: Yeah, must wait and see!
[15:41] <YokoBR> L3top, it's already installed
[15:41] <tiago> nca: thank you anyway, I'll wait to see if any update solves this!
[15:41] <L3top> YokoBR: lspci | grep VGA
[15:41] <YokoBR> 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 68d9
[15:41] <robgraves> tiago: yeah, this release still has the new car smell
[15:41] <YokoBR> L3top, 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 68d9
[15:41] <L3top> weird.
[15:41] <L3top> one second please
[15:42] <L3top> YokoBR: update-pciids
[15:43] <uzf> damn, 66KB/sec from the main update servers, someone should actually look into throttling it up a bit
[15:43] <L3top> YokoBR: once finished lspci | grep VGA    again
[15:43] <YokoBR> L3top, 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Redwood PRO [Radeon HD 5500 Series]
[15:43] <L3top> there she is
[15:44] <ssta> uzf: there are lots of "unofficial" mirrors.  Use one of those (I'm getting dtuff from my ISP mirror at like 8MB/s still)
[15:44] <uzf> its too late for that, I have 300 files to go
[15:45] <jrib> uzf: you can safely cancel and resume during the download phase
[15:45] <uzf> I hope the last 300 arent this slow
[15:45] <uzf> it has been about 600KB/sec
[15:45] <zivester> where are boot logs available if my system isn't booting?
[15:45] <uzf> /var/log/messages?
[15:46] <YokoBR> L3top, i think it's because it needs x.org 6.9 or later, and mine is 6.13
[15:46] <L3top> YokoBR: I would follow the uninstall proceedure for that driver and apt-get install fglrx libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri fglrx-modaliases
[15:46] <L3top> though modaliases is probably redundant, wont hurt
[15:47] <snowrichard> ok i got to go get a check from my mom bbl
[15:47] <n00b_> guys..ubuntu file is 701 mb how am i supposed to burn it on cd?
[15:47] <jrib> n00b_: where?
[15:47] <frybye> re: with canon scangearmx and simple scan - both say no scanner found - but is connected and switched on??
[15:47] <uzf> n00b_: brasero
[15:48] <n00b_> coudnot they just make ubuntu 700 mb?
[15:48] <YokoBR> L3top, ok, but still i'll not have the latest drivers on 10.04 lts.. i think the best solution would be install a newer version of ubuntu...
[15:48] <dysoco> I can't boot my Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64 DVD in my Desktop... it boots fine in my laptop, but in my Desktop I see the classic Purple screen with the keyboard icon at the bottom... then all I see is a black screen and a hyphen at the top... nothing more
[15:48] <jrib> oh I see the desktop-i386, hmm
[15:48] <uzf> I am betting the extra 1MB will fit
[15:48] <n00b_> no the cd is only 700 mb
[15:48] <n00b_> it cannot fit
[15:48] <uzf> 700M 2012-03-31 13:02 ubuntu-12.04-beta2-desktop-amd64.iso
[15:48] <uzf> what makes you think its 701
[15:49] <mitpatterson> just try it n00b_  i bet its just how your OS is reading the file, its probaly a few bytes over 700mb

[15:53] <mitpatterson> did someone screen shot it/log it somewhere? thats hilarious
[15:53] <irenicus09> I have that hold on
[15:53] <n00b_> i tried ubuntu when it was 10.4 or something but now trying again..
[15:54] <dysoco> n00b_, IMO, Unity is way worse than the old GNOME2, but at least it's more usable than GNOME3... wich is nice
[15:54] <mitpatterson> n00b_: check this http://www.whitsoftdev.com/md5/ and download that or similar and run it again that downloaded iso you have and compare it to what is the listed md5, if it is the same, then you should be able to burn it, if not, then redownload as the download was scred up

[15:56] <jiffe2> right now I'm using notepad++ via wine but that has its own problems
[15:56] <Guest35477> L3top: there were 2 proposed, both stop at 1024x768
[15:56] <ssta> jiffe2: why not use sshfs instead?
[15:56] <n00b_> md5 should be correct...i downloaded from official website...i just didnt tried burning it ..just looked at 701 mb in download manager so..

[15:57] <L3top> Guest35477: What driver are you using?
[15:57] <jiffe2> ssta: because of the overhead of setup and teardown

[15:59] <QuantumQuanta> I use "Alt+Left Arrow" to go back in my web browser. Unfortunately this has strange behavior in 12.04. If I press the command quickly, then the HUD doesn't pop up. If I press it slowly, then the HUD does not appear. What is causing this?
[15:59] <jiffe2> ssta: I do development on a number of different machines so it would be nice to be able to choose them from a list rather than mounting the appropriate machine
[16:00] <ssta> jiffe2: and emacs can certainly do it (so vim probably can too).  They're more editors than full IDEs though (the line is blurred somewhat with emacs)
[16:00] <QuantumQuanta> *press it quickly and the HUD DOES appear
[16:00] <kippy> Guys, what is the correct way to shutdown from the command line?
[16:00] <L3top> Yeah... that is all good. You should have what you need. Guest35477. I need to get some machines on 1204 and see what is going on.
[16:01] <jiffe2> editor is fine, I'm not going to be compiling and debugging through it
[16:01] <ssta> jiffe2: I just mount everything I'm going to want to use on login and assume it's going to be there
[16:01] <kippy> Any idea, what the shutdown via gui runs behind the scene?
[16:01] <zykotick9> kippy: "sudo shutdown -h now" is one way
[16:01] <robgraves> kippy: i do "sudo shutdown -h now"
[16:01] <iwtrat> L3top: thanks

[16:02] <zykotick9> kippy: sorry, i don't have any suggestions for that.  good luck.
[16:02] <stormdt> what is difference between "init 6" and "shutdown -r now"

[16:02] <Guest35477> I edited it
 Thanks anyways :)
[16:02] <wylde> kippy: if you want it to power off. 'sudo shutdown -P now'

[16:04] <amphibian87> how do i join that channel i'm in Xchat for GNOME
[16:04] <d3vlin> nice to know; xbmc in 12.04 repositories does not play nice with 12.04 xserver regarding resolutions and refresh rates.
[16:04] <ssta> stormdt: functionally, none.  shutdown allows you to set a delay and a message.
[16:04] <Hoyt> amphibian87: /join #anonops
[16:04] <wylde> amphibian87: /join #anonops
[16:04] <amphibian87> thank you!
[16:05] <amphibian87> also i have no audio on the desktop
[16:05] <amphibian87> been tinkering with Nvidia driver for 2 days
[16:05] <mikubuntu> recently upgraded to 10mbps connection, but am downloading ubuntu upgrade to 10.10 and it is crawling at 150 kbps -- is this likely the download server speed, or is it possible that at&t is throttling?
[16:05] <frybye> re- I am trying to get the scanner part of a canon mp280 to work. On google I found a page about editing a file /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules to do this - but in 12.04 this file dosen't seem to exist - what now?
[16:05] <Hoyt> amphibian87: try launch alsamixer in terminal
[16:05] <amphibian87> already did alsa mixer
[16:05] <Hoyt> amphibian87: see if you got anything wired , e.g "MM" means it's muted
[16:05] <Guest35477> mikubuntu: was very fast for me, downloaded 4mbps
[16:05] <amphibian87> yeah i have a seperate audio card
[16:05] <amphibian87> in the PCI
[16:06] <wylde> mikubuntu: http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ <--- torrents will be faster. And uhhh... 10.10 is EOL.
[16:06] <amphibian87> but audio is integrated on the GPU
[16:06] <amphibian87> would taking that PCI out help?
[16:06] <frybye> should I install the sane scanner system - on 12.04??
[16:06] <amphibian87> amazed at #ubuntu channel already, you guys know your stuff
[16:06] <Hoyt> amphibian87: that's new to me
[16:06] <ssta> mikubuntu: currently the ubuntu servers are very heavily loaded as 12.04 only released a couple of days ago.
[16:06] <mikubuntu> wylde, what's EOL
[16:06] <wylde> !eol | mikubuntu
[16:06] <amphibian87> well fair thee well
[16:06] <uzf> ssta: heavily loaded?  you mean, being destroyed
[16:06] <amphibian87> have not been on this channel yet
[16:07] <amphibian87> def gonna be around
[16:07] <amphibian87> nice meeting ye
[16:07] <ssta> uzf: nah...you can still see them...they're just quite busy is all
[16:07] <uzf> my download rate goes from like 85KB/sec to 700KB/sec
[16:07] <mikubuntu> oh, yeah -- end of life -- yup thats why i'm upgrading -- going to use 10.10 for a few sessions, then the 11's and on to pangolin
[16:07] <uzf> 30 mins remaining... then changes to 7 hours left
[16:08] <uzf> someone really needs to improve the math on that calculation and use the overall rate and not just the current transfer rate
[16:08] <rymate1234> hmmm#
[16:08] <Rapunzel> Hey you guys know whats crashing my XChat?
[16:08] <ssta> uzf: that makes it misleading in a different way for long downloads
[16:08] <mikubuntu> oh, yeah -- end of life -- yup thats why i'm upgrading -- going to use 10.10 for a few sessions, then the 11's and on to pangolin, wylde, i guess the servers are overloaded
[16:08] <OerHeks> uzf your torrentclient does. but you are impatience.
[16:08] <rymate1234> is there a way I can have compiz style effects without compiz
[16:08] <Hoyt> Rapunzel: try launch it in terminal , you'll see errors
[16:09] <Rapunzel> ah. hold on.
[16:09] <uzf> why would anyone be patient
[16:09] <Rapunzel> wait, im on windows
[16:09] <Hoyt> rymate1234: compiz is a window manager , so you can't
[16:09] <L3top> ok Guest35477... give me a second to rework this a little.
[16:09] <uzf> slow thinkers perhaps
[16:09] <Guest35477> L3top: thanks, waiting
[16:09] <OerHeks> uzf please stop the ranting.
[16:09] <wylde> mikubuntu: alrighty, just wanted to mention it was eol. :)
[16:09] <allure> Hi... when trying to update to 12.04 from 11.10, I get the message "It was not possible to calculate the update". How should I proceed to upload?
[16:09] <mikubuntu> wylde, :) thx
[16:09] <Hoyt> Rapunzel: hmm , cmd don't print errors back
[16:10] <bazhang> uzf its just a couple of days after the release, the servers will be slow.
[16:10] <DerpyHooves> Bringing this place down.
[16:10] <Hoyt> uzf: aren't mirrors in your country ready ?
[16:10] <ssta> use non-"XX.ubuntu.com" mirrors, they're fine
[16:10] <bazhang> DerpyHooves, wrong place for that
[16:10] <mikubuntu> arrrrrrgggghhhhhh ... one hour and 41 minutes remaining for upgrade download
[16:10] <rymate1234> also
[16:11] <rymate1234> how to customise gnome-panel?
[16:11] <Hoyt> I don't think so in gnome3
[16:11] <mikubuntu> wylde, no real danger to using browser during upgrade is there?
[16:11] <rymate1234> I mean in gnome-fallback
[16:11] <Hoyt> mikubuntu: no , it's loaded in memory
[16:11] <mikubuntu> thx Hoyt
[16:11] <Mayazcherquoi> You know, I was quite happily downloading these updates at 1.2mB/s. But then it had to go right down to 50kB/s >:(
[16:11] <wylde> mikubuntu: I don't imagine so, unless you're browsing 'undesriable' sites heh :)
[16:12] <Hoyt> mikubuntu: just don't close it ;-P
[16:12] <allure> Hi... when trying to update to 12.04 from 11.10, I get the message "It was not possible to calculate the update". How should I proceed to upload?
[16:12] <Hoyt> allure: is it network failure ?
[16:12] <ssta> I'll spare you all the "debian slink on dialup" stories...
[16:12] <mikubuntu> Hoyt, why so (not close it?)
[16:12] <CheeseWeasel> Mayazcherquoi, think yourself lucky I'm at 30kB/s
[16:12] <allure> Hoyt: nope :(
[16:12] <Mayazcherquoi> CheeseWeasel: lol
[16:13] <ssta> and I'm getting 8MB/s.  Use mirrors that aren't XX.ubuntu.com and you're fine
[16:13] <mongy> I am installing and it's downloading updated and 3rd party software during, and because it's using the main mirror it's VERY slow.
[16:13] <Hoyt> mikubuntu: i'm just afraid if it's modified during update .. that way you may not be able to open it until installation of the new browser is done
[16:13] <mongy> just gotta grin and bear it.
[16:13] <mikubuntu> Hoyt, ahhhhh, ok
[16:14] <allure> ... I'll just give up on upgrading to 12.04... too darn hard =)
[16:14] <Hoyt> allure: re-launch your update manager may help , it should be dependency problem
[16:14] <mikubuntu> yeah i have 9 or ten browsers installed, just playing with chromium last few days Hoyt

[16:22] <zykotick9> balduin: an alternative might be to try "sudo deluser"
[16:22] <aJacom> Im reading a guide to install ubuntu with Windows. It says i should make an extended partition, containing three logical partitions> swap, home and vfat for exchange files between systems.
[16:22] <Hoyt> Troy^: that might be a kernel driver issue .. or network-manager's bug
[16:22] <aJacom> the question is> how do i make that Extended partition ??
[16:22] <balduin> zykotick9 I am at the recovery root shell!
[16:23] <Hoyt> aJacom: My Computer->right click->Management
[16:23] <aJacom> Hoyt: i-m on the installer
[16:23] <aJacom> in the live installer
[16:23] <robertzaccour> aJacom, during the installation select insall along windows
[16:23] <Hoyt> aJacom: oh
[16:23] <allure> Hoyt: It is impossible to correct the problems, you kept on hold broken packages.
[16:23] <zykotick9> balduin: i see.  well good luck (you haven't supplied much for details...)
[16:23] <Hoyt> aJacom: i don't know if one can resize FS other than ext* on linux
[16:24] <aJacom> Hoyt: yes i just did it
[16:24] <aJacom> robertzaccour: what does that do
[16:24] <aJacom> ?
[16:24] <krababbel> aJacom: what
[16:24] <razvan> hy from Romania
[16:24] <zezelle> bonsoir
[16:24] <aJacom> install with windows
[16:24] <aJacom> in the installer
[16:24] <zykotick9> !fr | zezelle
[16:24] <zezelle> install linux
[16:24] <robertzaccour> aJacom, after you do that in its installed, whenever you boot up you can choose which operating system to boot into
[16:25] <allure> Hoyt: should I just fresh install 12.04? :-/
[16:25] <Hoyt> allure: sorry i can't help you then .. maybe you can try laterly , in a few days , or report a bug to ubuntu
[16:25] <aJacom> robertzaccour:  but does that install it in the hard drive using a partition or is it like wubi ?
[16:25] <krababbel> aJacom: it installs grub to mbr
[16:25] <zezelle> iam  peack inglish
[16:25] <Hoyt> allure: burn a desktop CD is the easiest
[16:25] <Troy^> Hoyt: im thinking its a kernel driver issue
[16:25] <krababbel> I think
[16:25] <zezelle> do you help me
[16:25] <allure> Hoyt: the bug has been reported already... let's hope they fix it then :)
[16:26] <robertzaccour> aJacom, it makes 2 partitions on 1 hard drive giving you the option which one to boot up
[16:26] <krababbel> aJacom: you can do other installation, so you see what it does
[16:26] <Hoyt> Troy^: try modinfo XX , and find out the maintainer
[16:26] <aJacom> robertzaccour: ok i went back, and selected @install alongside windows 7
[16:26] <Hoyt> Troy^: contact him for more details

[16:29] <Fyodorovna> *instaled
[16:30] <Fyodorovna> doh
[16:30] <allure> Fyodorovna: yeah, that's the way to go IMO... I'll have to do that :)
[16:30] <Hoyt> allure: you can write a simple bash script , so next time you install new Ubuntu , just execute that script
[16:30] <zykotick9> balduin: good luck.  i don't help with encryption issues - and i add those who ask about it to my /ignore list.  good luck.  (i won't see your messages in future)
[16:30] <Fyodorovna> allure, everything cloned and all homes backed up, to much time on my hands lol.

[16:32] <std0s> irs an issue with xranr randomenduser
[16:32] <allure> Fyodorovna: It will save you time from time to time... so many times on the same sentence =D
[16:32] <randomenduser> std0s, I don't understand
[16:32] <compdoc> anyone else having a fresh install og 12.04 freeze? is it because the mirrors are too busy?
[16:32] <std0s> your monitor isnt reporting its stuff "correctly" - thats the issue I had
[16:33] <std0s> xrandr does the screen resolution
[16:33] <tomreyn> hi, software-center seems to cache the SSO credentials/session info. Is there a way to delete this cache?
[16:33] <auronandace> compdoc: what does mirrors have to do with your install freezing?
[16:33] <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
[16:34] <Stereocaulon> randomenduser, in that case, check if your GPU is properly seated.
[16:34] <balduin> zykotick9 i have no problem with the de- or encryption my question was how can i remove a user on ubuntu 12.04!
[16:35] <tomreyn> randomenduser: also run a memory test (such as memtest86+)
[16:35] <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] <randomenduser> tomreyn, I've done the memtest, no issues I could see
[16:35] <Stereocaulon> balduin, from the terminal: sudo userdel [username]
[16:36] <Stereocaulon> randomenduser, well the issues you are describing are definitely hardware issues.
[16:36] <randomenduser> I've also reseated the ram, and ran with just one stick
[16:36] <tomreyn> ...or firmware
[16:37] <randomenduser> is there an up-to-date OSS bios I could flash it with? I've been meaning to update that...
[16:37] <action09> hi i'm not able to install 12.04 i've got a lot of errors on ata1.00
[16:37] <action09> that's realy sad
[16:37] <Stereocaulon> randomenduser, the suggestion made by tomreyn is a good one, a ramtest does take a few hours though.
[16:37] <zykotick9> randomenduser: can you test the monitor with another computer (to rule it out)?
[16:37] <balduin> zykotick9 *because deluser doesn't work it give me the error that /etc/passwd is locked!
[16:38] <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] <uzf> I once had a sugar ant in my vga cable that caused a bad display
[16:38] <uzf> (true story)
[16:39] <auronandace> balduin: if he added you to his /ignore list then he literally cannot see your messages
[16:39] <tomreyn> randomenduser: sadly there are very few OSS BIOSes really.
[16:39] <Stereocaulon> uzf, must be helpful while running Eclipse. No more ant problems.
[16:39] <std0s> lol
[16:40] <balduin> Stereocaulon the program return an error /etc/passwd is locked!
[16:40] <Stereocaulon> balduin, did you run deluser it with sudo in front of it?
[16:41] <Stereocaulon> balduin, did you run deluser with sudo in front of it?
[16:41] <balduin> auronandace okay thank you but the others can read it ;-)
[16:41] <auronandace> balduin: just letting you know since you were addressing him
[16:42] <action09> any clue so ?? hard drive is band new and working as a charm on another os. so it's not a hardware problem. http://paste.ubuntu.com/949428/
[16:42] <action09> please :)
[16:42] <balduin> Stereocaulon: i am in the recovery-mode root-shell!
[16:42] <zykotick9> auronandace: is balduin trying to message me?  you are correct - i can't him if he is.
[16:43] <Stereocaulon> balduin, in that case some process has opened and locked /etc/passwd

[16:44] <Fyodorovna> SchlageR, ##windows

[16:45] <FrankBullitt> Hi everyone. I am doing an install guide for snort and everything in the guide is /usr/local/lib, but dpkg has put everything in /usr/lib. Has something changed?
[16:45] <balduin> Stereocaulon: and how i can get the information witch process that is?
[16:46] <Stereocaulon> balduin, try lsoff | grep passwd

[16:48] <zykotick9> !info emacs23-nox | MrKeuner
[16:48] <auronandace> drvanon_: what? ubuntu won't install your driver for windows. they are seperate operating systems
[16:49] <MrKeuner> can I install emacs-nox using ubuntu software center?
[16:49] <auronandace> drvanon_: your ethernet might work on ubuntu though
[16:49] <zykotick9> MrKeuner: search for emacs23 in U.S.C
[16:49] <MrKeuner> zykotick9, emacs23 != emacs23-nox
[16:49] <zykotick9> MrKeuner: the package is called emacs23-nox search for that
[16:50] <UICTamale> can anyone explain why my gnome terminal has such fat borders after upgrading to 12.04 ?  or more importantly, how to get rid of them?
[16:50] <chrmhoffmann> hi. trying to upgrade from lucid to precise.
[16:50] <drvanon_> auronandace: it is not about windows, it is about a network adapter
[16:50] <MrKeuner> zykotick9, ah OK, thanks I have been searcing emacs-nox
[16:50] <chrmhoffmann> i get error about E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'python2.7-minimal'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details
[16:50] <awwf23> hi
[16:51] <auronandace> drvanon_: might help to know what chipset
[16:51] <auronandace> drvanon_: most ethernet tend to work out the box
[16:51] <catapotepeltl> Hi, I installed the 'gnome-shell' through software center but when I log in with 'gnome' or 'gnome classic' what i see is this http://complete-concrete-concise.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/ubuntu-12.04-gnome-shell-classic-big.jpg   while I expected this http://complete-concrete-concise.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/ubuntu-12.04-gnome-shell-big.jpg why?
[16:51] <MrKeuner> zykotick9, does USC only search in name?
[16:51] <chrmhoffmann> anyone got an idea how to make python2.7-minimal configure?
[16:51] <MrKeuner> zykotick9, couldn't locate texlive full meta package either
[16:52] <zykotick9> MrKeuner: LOL i have NO idea - i don't use USC, don't even have it installed on my 12.04
[16:52] <drvanon_> auronandace, out the box?
[16:52] <MrKeuner> zykotick9, I personally use apt-get but people I install ubuntu for, would find it hard to use other options
[16:52] <auronandace> drvanon_: without needing to do anything, by default
[16:52] <drvanon_> auronandace, ah
[16:53] <drvanon_> auronandace, thanks, we
[16:53] <drvanon_>  lll try
[16:53] <chump2> auronandace, have you suggested nomodeset?
[16:53] <chump2> Oh, not graphics.
[16:53] <chump2> Pardon.
[16:53] <drvanon_> auronandace, is there a way to know for sure?
[16:53] <chump2> My question is about the Dash. Is there a way to hide an icon when an app is running?
[16:53] <auronandace> drvanon_: need to know the chipset
[16:54] <chump2> (This is particularly a problem with Skype). It's not a problem for me - but my parents, who are a bit tech illiterate.
[16:54] <drvanon_> auronandace, how to read  htat?
[16:54] <auronandace> drvanon_: what are you running on it now?
[16:54] <drvanon_> windows xp
[16:55] <drvanon_> becuase the driver isn't installed, we don't get to see what it s
[16:55] <chump2> oh, bing is helping.
[16:55] <chump2> Google sucks now.
[16:55] <auronandace> drvanon_: might just be quicker to try out a livecd
[16:56] <drvanon_> you 've got a point there
[16:56] <chump2> Or not :
[16:56] <drvanon_> what i was thinking about was to open  the vody of the pc
[16:56] <drvanon_> and then read the fcc
[16:56] <drvanon_> (no idea what fcc is_
[16:56] <drvanon_> )
[16:56] <drvanon_> a website told me to do so
[16:56] <Fyodorovna> I love the rants....users straight to the ignore list.
[16:57] <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
[16:58] <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
[16:59] <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.
[17:00] <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
[17:01] <_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] <_nedR> *should this be impossible
[17:01] <kruckss> }
[17:01] <fahmad> can someone help me with ldap authentication with lightdm ...
[17:01] <chump2> Hmm.
[17:01] <fahmad> please check this for my settings
[17:01] <fahmad> http://paste.ubuntu.com/952965/
[17:02] <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, PC \\ ven 10ec&DEV_8168
[17:02] <drvanon_> auronandace, is that what we are searching for?
[17:03] <_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] <clayton> alguém que fale português?
[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
[17:04] <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 :)
[17:05] <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
[17:06] <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_: i think you meant to ask how new
[17:06] <uzf> anyone know where the list of mirrors are at?
[17:06] <uzf> !mirrors
[17:06] <drvanon_> auronandace, okay
[17:07] <uzf> !precise
[17:07] <amitbrnwl> wow!! The easiest linux ever and works great too. I am facing a minor issue though. The time is not updating and shown wrong in panel.. I dont wanna install ntp for such basic function
[17:07] <drvanon_> auronandace, how new most it be to not work?
[17:07] <amitbrnwl> any idea?
[17:07] <zivester> what does it mean when I can't get to the recovery console 80% of the time... how does one debug this?
[17:07] <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?
[17:08] <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] <fahmad> i think i should not get help on this here too :(
[17:08] <amigamia> nickserv
[17:08] <amigamia> opps
[17:09] <balduin> aJacom: i always use NTFS and i have no problems!
[17:09] <auronandace> aJacom: ntfs has worked well for years
[17:09] <aJacom> balduin: do you write to it & everything ?
[17:09] <aJacom> auronandace: oh. ok.
[17:10] <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] <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?
[17:11] <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] <aJacom> on another subject, how do i find out what vga card do i have? I remember there was a command
[17:11] <uzf> lspci
[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)
[17:12] <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] <oldsk00l> tried lilo?
[17:12] <oldsk00l> I still use lilo on my Gentoo boxes ;)
[17:13] <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...
[17:14] <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?
[17:15] <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] <pakistanish> hi
[17:15] <Fyodorovna> fahmad, not sure really servers I have not messed with
[17:15] <pakistanish> anyone into android development?
[17:15] <pkkid> Fyodorovna: I believe it was FAT. Maybe NFS. I dont recall exactly.
[17:16] <pkkid> NTFs*
[17:16] <fahmad> Fyodorovna: ok
[17:16] <pkkid> Fyodorovna: Perhaps I need to do more than a quick format on the SSD?
[17:16] <ThinkT510> pkkid: win7 can only install to ntfs
[17:16] <pkkid> Then it was NTFS for sure.
[17:17] <Guest444> hello
[17:17] <L3top> "cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error" on pkkids freshly installed SSD from live boot zykotick9. Tried installing in ide, ahci and raid modes. 64 and 32.
[17:17] <ImTheDude> how do i make my windows transparent?
[17:17] <Fyodorovna> ThinkT510, I don't think that is totally accurate W7 can be install in other file formats.
[17:17] <L3top> works flawless on spinning drive.
[17:18] <uzf> I need an SSD card
[17:18] <ThinkT510> Fyodorovna: other filesystems? what ones?
[17:18] <pkkid> uzf: I have two useless SSD cards. ;)
[17:19] <uzf> useless?
[17:19] <uzf> how big are they
[17:19] <pkkid> 64
[17:19] <Fyodorovna> ThinkT510, here is one gpt, take your pick really. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463525
[17:19] <chump2> krababbel, the solution is in Skype's settings, Options->General->"Start Skype minimized in the system tray"
[17:19] <ImTheDude> how do i make my windows transparent?
[17:20] <nsahoo> how can I show the date and time on unity status bar?
[17:20] <uzf> do SSD cards recover data if a "sector" goes bad?
[17:20] <bp0> I cant get startup disk creator to create a live usb from the ubuntu 12.04 dvd ...
[17:20] <pkkid> uzf: By useless. I mean you cant install ubuntu to them for some reason. ;-P
[17:20] <uzf> or does it totally become useless
[17:20] <ulkesh> I'm running ubuntu on an SSD just fine
[17:20] <ImTheDude> how do i make my windows transparent in ubuntu 10.4?
[17:20] <chump2> in compizconfig, ImTheDude, but be careful using it. It screws things up.
[17:20] <pkkid> L3top: I wonder if this is the type of errors one might see after the drive is used up, too many writes?
[17:20] <uzf> ImTheDude: edit your profile
[17:20] <krababbel> chump2: thanks for the info :)
[17:20] <finish06> i am on SSD too, and it is awesome
[17:20] <chump2> lol yvw krababbel
[17:20] <uzf> how fast can you compile the kernel?
[17:21] <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?
[17:22] <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] <Fyodorovna> ThinkT510, I'm not a real expert here but ntfs only is not correct I'm quite sure, ask on the windows channel for there geeks to answer really.
[17:22] <ulkesh> pkkid, sorry, not trying to...a Corsair 120GB SATA 3, Force-something (it's in a slot I can't read the whole thing)
[17:22] <UICTamale> is there anything I should do special for my ssd with fstab or ubuntu in general?
[17:22] <pkkid> Fyodorovna: We went throught the adv options and format and made sure grub was on the same drive too. It did always want to pick a diff drive by default for the boot loader for some reason.
[17:22] <Fyodorovna> their*
[17:23] <zykotick9> L3top: re: pkkid's ssd i have no idea... sorry
[17:23] <Dany1> I need help with launcher in unity on ubuntu 12.04 x64. i turn on option auto-hide the Launcher but i can't get unity launcher to show when i go to left side of screen. Maybe somebody know where is the catch?
[17:23] <finish06> wait, ubuntu has more writes to the hdd than normal OSX or Windows??
[17:23] <mor> hi
[17:23] <Fyodorovna> pkkid, you know how to load grub to the mbr? Or have you tried and failed with errors?
[17:24] <UICTamale> Dany1: I have the same problem
[17:24] <danes> hello, is there any application similar to tortoise svn that adds a menu to the right click where I can checkout and commit repositories?
[17:24] <mor> any girl inthere for sex?
[17:24] <uzf> heh
[17:24] <Fyodorovna> !ops | mor
[17:24] <L3top> Fyodorovna: grub aside... you cannot chroot the drive, under any circumstance. Something else goes very wrong during install.
[17:24] <ulkesh> danes, not that i know of, but if you end up needing an app i highly recommend SyncroSVN (it's cross-platform)
[17:24] <trism> Dany1: try playing with the reveal sensitivity in System Settings/Appearance/Behavior
[17:24] <ImTheDude> how do i make my windows transparent?
[17:24] <Myrtti> mor: wrong network and channel for that
[17:24] <uzf> women use ubuntu?
[17:25] <pkkid> Fyodorovna: Both. From the live cd we cAnnot load grub onto the drive without errors. But from this working install on the SSD I am able to run grub-install and it seemingy works. Just no loader exists when I reboot from that drive.
[17:25] <ImTheDude> i dont see the option in compiz
[17:25] <pkkid> Working install on the HD.
[17:25] <Dany1> i tried but nothing help...
[17:26] <danes> ulkesh, thanks
[17:26] <pkkid> Fyodorovna: Forgive my typos. Im rebooting so much its easier to join this ch annel from my ipad.
[17:26] <uzf> does anyone know of a fast US mirror I can use?  the "Mirrors" help page doesnt list them
[17:27] <Fyodorovna> pkkid, you might consider running the bootscript it will give a lot of info?
[17:27] <pkkid> Fyodorovna: is that the chroot stuff?
[17:27] <trism> Dany1: if this is unity-3d, there are more options in ccsm, Unity/Experimental/Launcher Reveal Pressure, set to 1 and it pops right up
[17:28] <Fyodorovna> pkkid, from ubuntu download this script extract it to your desktop and run this command and pastebin the results text http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/     sudo bash ~/Desktop/bootinfoscript
[17:28] <pkkid> Fyodorovna: Doing that now.
[17:29] <Fyodorovna> pkkid, runs from a live cd as well, you need the pastebin link?
[17:29] <pkkid> Fyodorovna: Nope. Do I need to specify /dev/sda when running this?
[17:30] <m1chael> hello guys/girls, how can i create a virtual ethernet device, is it in /etc/network/interfaces or /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections, an online wiki of it can help also thank you.
[17:30] <Fyodorovna> pkkid, you download the tar extract it to the desktop and run that command it generates a results.txt, copy and paste that text file to a pastebin
[17:31] <pkkid> Gawk could not be found, two seconds.
[17:31] <L3top> great suggestion Fyodorovna
[17:31] <Dany1> trism: thank you but Launcher Reveal Pressure won't work
[17:32] <jefinc> is there a way to have 12.04 use Gnome right from the get go instead of having it in Unity and then having to switch it at login?
[17:32] <ztag100> after I edit my fstab, what can I do to execute the changes?
[17:32] <trism> Dany1: what do you mean won't work?
[17:32] <Fyodorovna> L3top, personally I default to the script it saves the 100 questions. :)
[17:33] <zykotick9> ztag100: "sudo mount -a" will try to mount everything in fstab
[17:33] <ztag100> thanks
[17:33] <m1chael> jefinc, you can remove/disable it look for a tutorial online
[17:33] <L3top> uzf... you can try adding deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt precise main restricted universe       to the top of your sources.list and update.
[17:33] <m1chael> how can i create a virtual ethernet device, is it in /etc/network/interfaces or /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections, an online wiki of it can help also thank you.
[17:33] <jefinc> m1chael: but can I do it during install? or is it an after thought
[17:33] <ztag100> I  was trying -o for some reason :P
[17:34] <Dany1> trism: that mean: don't work, nothing happen...
[17:34] <bravery> jefinc, once u selected at login,the next time it start with it
[17:34] <pkkid> Fyodorovna: L3top, http://pastebin.com/FGsUAMAp
[17:34] <zykotick9> jefinc: i'm a little unclear on your quetsion.  but i install using mini.iso then install gnome+synaptic+etc i have a very "non-ubuntu" ubuntu 12.04
[17:34] <ulkesh> m1chael, it's an old article, but may help:  http://blog.hutzoft.com/2010/04/11/adding-multiple-virtual-network-interfaces-in-ubuntu/
[17:35] <compdoc> is there any way to disable the label that pops on when your mouse pointer is hovering over the Dash Home icon? It gets in the way
[17:35] <m1chael> jefinc, as bravery said you select it once during login and it will not start
[17:35] <uzf> L3top: if I do an apt-get update, it isn't going to mess-up my resume will it?
[17:35] <Daghdha> In the top right of my desktop there's the name of the current logged in user. It is missing the '_' thatis part of the name. Is this normal?
[17:35] <jefinc> zykotick9: I'm using 10.10 and don't really want to upgrade because I don't like the Unity layout they've chosen
[17:35] <jefinc> thanks bravery, m1chael
[17:35] <m1chael> jefinc, i think if you mount loop it in livecd
[17:36] <jefinc> m1chael: okay I'll try that
[17:36] <pkkid3> Fyodorovna, L3top So the first thing I notice is "No boot loader on sda"  WTF! :D
[17:36] <zykotick9> jefinc: Screenshot http://imagebin.org/210003  Weighing in at 2.2GB so far (almost nothing for apps installed yet) using mini.iso (nothing selected) then installing gnome-session-fallback lightdm light-themes gnome-tweak-tool gnome-terminal gedit and compizconfig-settings-manager
[17:36] <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] <Fyodorovna> pkkid, so sda is the ssd I notice that sda and sdb are the same size and sdc is the hd install correct?
[17:36] <bravery> is there a way to avoid showing the application menu  on the unity panel but instead i prefer it on the application
[17:36] <pkkid3> Fyodorovna, Yes that is all correct.
[17:36] <m1chael> jefinc, and chroot to it you can uninstall it and maybe it will remove also after install
[17:36] <LtHummus> how can I set unity-2d as my default shell.  i have auto-login enabled
[17:36] <bravery> I mean the menu bar
[17:36] <gbar14275> hello, I just installed 12.04 and name my computer wrong.  I tried changing the hostname but the "device name" under the details tab in system settings doesn't seem to be changing.  Anyone know how to change the "device name"
[17:36] <m1chael> jefinc, never tried it but it may work
[17:37] <zykotick9> gbar14275: careful changing your computer name!!!
[17:37] <zykotick9> !hostname | gbar14275
[17:37] <pkkid3> Fyodorovna, SDA and SDB are both SSD drives.  The ideal config was to raid the two together and run Ubuntu on that.  However, baby steps first, lol.
[17:38] <jefinc> zykotick9: that's what I'm looking for, a more "classic" ubuntu look :)
[17:38] <zykotick9> jefinc: that all using default ubuntu repos
[17:38] <FrankBullitt> Can someone please tell me the best practice for managing startup services?
[17:39] <mafatahna> hi all.,
[17:39] <Fyodorovna> pkkid, so does the HD grub pickup the ssd and boot top it, it seemed you were able to get to the desktop there?
[17:39] <Fyodorovna> to*
[17:39] <zykotick9> FrankBullitt: upstart doesn't have any nice GUI tools yet - good luck.
[17:39] <giles> Hello, my windows are missing borders: http://pastebin.com/ETZttXPr
[17:39] <zykotick9> FrankBullitt: that i'm aware of?
[17:39] <jefinc> zykotick9: okay thanks, I'll give it a try
[17:40] <Fyodorovna> pkkid, yes your missing the correct grub stuf in the OS overall beside the mbr in sda
[17:40] <pkkid3> Fyodorovna, I was able to run update-grub on the HD install.  It did indeed pick up the install on /dev/sda.  However, trying to bootup that Ubutnu install lead to a bunch of errors.  The other weird thing I noticed is that it added the entry for Ubuntu 12.04 to my grub on the HD 3 times.
[17:40] <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?
[17:41] <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?
[17:42] <FrankBullitt> zykotick9: The documentation is really poor for accomplishing this. I have removed it from init.d... Thanks
[17:42] <FrankBullitt> goin to reboot
[17:42] <zykotick9> FrankBullitt: what documentation ;)
[17:42] <gbar14275> zykotick9: if you go to your system settings --> details option... it will show up
[17:42] <mafatahna> ulkesh : how to install lxde to ubuntu 12.04 so the first time login choose 3 (unity, gnome panel and lxde) ?
[17:42] <melodie_> hi, does someone know how to detect which driver is used by xorg or by evdev ?
[17:42] <L3top> Not to beat a dead horse Fyodorovna, but if the install was correct, you could chroot. The FS is screwy.
[17:42] <giles> My window decorator isn't working in ubuntu 12.04 http://pastebin.com/ETZttXPr
[17:42] <uzf> well, I'm not sure if I want to do an apt-get update
[17:42] <Guest61222> hi all i cant install ubuntu desktop 11.10 nor 12.04 LTS  when i managed to get 11.10 installed i get black screen and blinking cursor after reboot ... any help is appreaciated i am a newbie concerning linux in general
[17:42] <apter> How to view logfiles in kismet?
[17:42] <pkkid3> Fyodorovna, Your starting to lose me at "purge all the grub stuff there and reinstall"
[17:42] <uzf> I added the mirror, but I think its using the old one still
[17:43] <Fyodorovna> L3top, right user errors on a chroot are common, I suspect that might be the case.
[17:43] <ThinkT510> !nomodeset | Guest61222
[17:43] <ulkesh> mafatahna, i'm sorry i meant ask in general, not directly to me...i wish i knew the answer, but i've never installed lxde
[17:43] <mafatahna> i think lxde is very fast than gnome, but i dont remove gnome dekstop can do??
[17:43] <Fyodorovna> pkkid, did you have any errors on the sda install and what exactly were thay?
[17:44] <Fyodorovna> *they
[17:44] <pkkid3> Fyodorovna, No errors during the install itself as far as I know.
[17:44] <bazhang> mafatahna, lubuntu-desktop package
[17:44] <aJacom> I'm trying to install the AMD Radeon HD 6310, but its failing in the last moment, and the log shows (amongst other things): make.sh: 469: make.sh: make: not found. Any tips?
[17:44] <zykotick9> gbar14275: i don't see a System Settings or Details?  i'm using fallback, not unity... perhaps that or other factors with my mini-install are affecting this... sorry.
[17:44] <LtHummus> is there any way to .... for lack of a better word ... remap my surround sound channels.  I get audio (over HDMI from nvidia ION), but the channels are mixed up (for example, my center and surround left are swapped).  I know everything's hooked up properly because it works fine on other devices (for example, my PS3).
[17:44] <giles> mafatahna: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde
[17:44] <mafatahna> ulkesh : now we just install gnome-panel, so when fish login 2 choose unity and gnome-panel, but i want to lxde too :D
[17:45] <bravery> mafatahna, type and search "lxde" on synaptic package manager
[17:45] <ulkesh> mafatahna, i gotcha...check out what bazhang and giles said, those might be what you need
[17:45] <mafatahna> giles : i try see site..
[17:45] <m1chael> ulkesh, doesn't work here on 11.11 . thx
[17:45] <Fyodorovna> pkkid, I think you might benefit best by posting your script in a thread at the ubuntu forum, that is where I learned all my grub stuff, some really graet help there.
[17:46] <ulkesh> m1chael, dang, sorry...too much has changed since 10.04 and 10.10 probably
[17:46] <danes> how can I know the ubuntu version I'm currently running
[17:46] <bazhang> !version | danes
[17:46] <zykotick9> danes: terminal "lsb_release -a"
[17:46] <L3top> Fyodorovna: Exec format error? afaik this means that the jail does not contain the libraries required to run the bash shell, as the binary exists.
[17:46] <pkkid3> Fyodorovna, ok.. will do.
[17:46] <L3top> Fyodorovna: this indicates to me that the install is fubar
[17:46] <melodie_> my question was more difficult, it seems no one knows ?
[17:47] <Fyodorovna> L3top, welcome to my ignore list bro.
[17:47] <melodie_> !video driver
[17:47] <giles> My window decorator isn't working in ubuntu 12.04 http://pastebin.com/ETZttXPr
[17:47] <bravery> melodie_, did u ask it?
[17:47] <L3top> that was odd.
[17:47] <mafatahna> giles : this site http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde i think remove gnome and install lxde, but i want to install lxde without removing gnome so if first login a few choose
[17:48] <pkkid3> Fyodorovna, To be fair to L3top He did Team Viewer into my PC yesterday and try chrooting my system together with me.
[17:48] <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
[17:49] <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] <giles> mafatahna: I am pretty sure you just want to install lxde, and it will be available at the login screen.
[17:49] <t2mahesh> this is how we add app: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:abc-xyz/ppa BUT how to remove using command line ?
[17:49] <Fyodorovna> pkkid, that is fine but random comments with no explanation is rather irritating after a while.
[17:49] <t2mahesh> can some one please suggest
[17:49] <mafatahna> giles : yes... i think you understand i want :D
[17:49] <matteo> hi everyone
[17:49] <bazhang> !ppa-purge | t2mahesh
[17:49] <giles> t2mahesh: that's how to add a repository.
[17:50] <uzf> finally, 500+KB/sec download speed
[17:50] <Guest60478> my headphones and my speakers only work together
[17:50] <m1chael> ulkesh, it's a shame that they didn't wrote any docu, i think that they gave network manager to do everything i'll try to understand whats going on
[17:50] <Guest60478> with ubuntu 12.04
[17:50] <giles> bazhang: ah, ppa purge that's a useful tool...
[17:50] <t2mahesh> thanks :)
[17:50] <michele_> aleeeee
[17:51] <giles> My window decorator isn't working in ubuntu 12.04 http://pastebin.com/ETZttXPr
[17:51] <bravery> anybody here know the PPA for ekiga voip application?
[17:51] <michele_> ciao
[17:51] <michele_> uhh
[17:51] <michele_> !list
[17:51] <pkkid3> Fyodorovna, Understandable.  Anyway, thanks for the help. :D
[17:52] <ThinkT510> !find ekiga
[17:52] <uzf> !fserve
[17:52] <uzf> hehe
[17:52] <ThinkT510> bravery: why do you need a ppa, whats wrong with the one in the repo?
[17:52] <uzf> 13 mins remain.... this has taken 5 hours
[17:52] <ulkesh> m1chael, one more possibility:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=69d132add3b03dfede05d38cf17018e3&p=11557299&postcount=10   hope it helps!
[17:53] <Fyodorovna> uzf, you gonna fresh install next time generally much faster?
[17:53] <bravery> ThinkT510, I know it there but I want the PPA coz it needs some updation as the one in default doesn't connect.
[17:54] <bravery> ThinkT510, ekiga 3.3.2 never works in my case on both 11.10 and 12.04.
[17:54] <trism> Dany1: my only other suggestion is: unity --reset; and then play with the launcher reveal pressure (I did have an issue earlier in the cycle where the launcher wouldn't show at all until I reset the unity settings)
[17:54] <uzf> not going to fresh install if I can help it ever, I have too many things installed and files I dont want to lose
[17:54] <xangua> recent upgrade to pangolen and can't get to clic buttons with the flash plugin, whan can i do¿
[17:54] <uzf> backing them up isn't exactly an ideal choice
[17:54] <ThinkT510> bravery: i've never used it (or skype for that matter) so i can't help
[17:55] <michael> halo
[17:55] <Fyodorovna> uzf, you need a external if your computer has all your data and the HD bricks well you know the rest I suspect.
[17:55] <uzf> hard drives never go bad
[17:55] <ulkesh> lol
[17:56] <bravery> ThinkT510, happy to see at least a reply.
[17:56] <Fyodorovna> uzf, Does that comment come with a rimshot. :)
[17:56] <ThinkT510> uzf: if you don't keep backups then you don't value your data
[17:56] <mafatahna> michael : halo too
[17:56] <uzf> I have backups, I just think that you should be able to update to a latest distrib without pain
[17:56] <bravery> uzf, just google the word ubuntu upgrade and u could see many people crying
[17:57] <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] <ThinkT510> uzf: maybe you should move to a rolling release distro
[17:57] <uzf> neither is spending time backing up everything
[17:57] <uzf> I like ubuntu too much
[17:58] <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] <bravery> somewhere I have seen ubuntu upgrade works 99 out 100 cases but actually it is opposite
[17:58] <uzf> yeah, winxp is awesome for that reason only
[17:58] <m1chael> ulkesh, thx i'll keep digging on it.
[17:58] <uzf> no one will move past it or buy new microsoft crap
[17:58] <pkkid3> Fyodorovna, hmm, ok
[17:59] <ulkesh> uzf, well that was an example :)  but yeah
[17:59] <uzf> didn't winxp come out in like 1995?
[17:59] <ulkesh> uzf, 2002
[17:59] <Ankhwatcher> How is this possible: http://pastebin.com/kHRz6xLb
[17:59] <uzf> ok, so I was off a year or two
[17:59] <ThinkT510> uzf: 2001, and we are getting off-topic
[18:00] <cesarstafe> guys, I read that wireless Broadcom BCM4312 isn't working in 12.04. is there and easy way to solve this? somebody has some tipsabouth that?
[18:00] <Ankhwatcher> I'm in the group fuse and not in the group fuse at the same time? Why? How can I fix this?
[18:00] <trongable> can anyone help me out with an incomplete install of 12.04? i can't even get terminal to open up
[18:00] <zykotick9> Ankhwatcher: fuse is mia ;) that's weird
[18:00] <ThinkT510> cesarstafe: an easy way is to avoid broadcom wireless
[18:00] <uzf> oops, sorry, I will be on-topic when dist upgrade destroys my box
[18:00] <grpace> Gretings, all...  And thank you for your time.  I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.  I am curious as to where the sound files for the email/chat notifications are stored on the file system.  I'd like to increase the volume of them.
[18:00] <bravery> cesarstafe, wait to have the fixes by ubuntu community
[18:01] <cesarstafe> I had the same problem in 11.10, but I solved
[18:01] <Ankhwatcher> zykotick9: when I try and run commands which require me to be in the group they fail
[18:01] <Fyodorovna> pkkid, to be honest it looks like your missing this in ubuntu  /boot/grub/grub.cfg /etc/fstab /boot/grub/core.img  the not being able to chrrot in to purge what is there and reload is a problem for sure.
[18:01] <uzf> grpace: locate .wav | more ?
[18:01] <zykotick9> Ankhwatcher: ? i have no idea/suggestion
[18:02] <grpace> Thank you uzf...  I'll try that.
[18:02] <pkkid3> Fyodorovna, Not being to Chroot into it was a Live CD problem..  Im somewhat guessing that doing that from this HD install would work fine.
[18:02] <cesarstafe> bravery, ThinkT510 : what do you recommend? wait some time to upgrade to 12.04 for packages fixes?
[18:02] <Steevca> I have noticed that ubuntu 12.04 is using 300 MiB of memory when i don't have any open programs? Is that normal?
[18:02] <ThinkT510> cesarstafe: i use intel for wireless, always been trouble free
[18:02] <pkkid3> Fyodorovna, However, I just formatted the SSD drive back to a clean ext4.  I realized I never tried install on /dev/sdb yet.
[18:02] <Ankhwatcher> zykotick9: maybe this has something to do with it: http://pastebin.com/7juDYxVG
[18:02] <bravery> cesarstafe, let me read the release note once again
[18:02] <melodie_> Steevca, it's not much and yes, it's normal
[18:03] <pkkid3> Fyodorovna, Going to try that now.
[18:03] <Fyodorovna> pkkid, the grub from the sdc ubuntu install should read the sda and boot it so not sure really you are missing the key grub files in the sda ubuntu.
[18:03] <zykotick9> !atemyram | Steevca
[18:03] <L3top> I expect it will be the same from anwhere pkkid3. The issue is within the jailed fs.
[18:03] <pkkid3> L3top, ahh, that does make sense..
[18:03] <Ankhwatcher> oh that's a list of logged in users
[18:03] <Ankhwatcher> that's right then
[18:04] <Ankhwatcher> I have 2 ssh sessions and a desktop
[18:04] <zykotick9> Ankhwatcher: "users" just shows who is logged in - mine has my user name repeated like 20+ times
[18:04] <pkkid> L3top: Ok time to try installing 32bit to sdb. :)
[18:04] <finish06> **Non-linux related, but hardware related question**    What is the name of a device that I plug into my PCI port, adding me additional SATA drives?
[18:04] <Steevca> Ok,thanks.
[18:04] <graytron> Ubuntu installation guide mentions: "Diskless installation, using network booting from a local area network and NFS-mounting of all local filesystems, is another option."  Does anyone have an idea how install Ubuntu to NFS-share using the netboot image? It boots fine with TFTP, but I am not able to mount or select the NFS-share as the installation media.
[18:05] <Ankhwatcher> zykotick9: yeah, I checked the help
[18:05] <cesarstafe> ThinkT510 : I guess that change my wireless card is not an option
[18:05] <Ankhwatcher> zykotick9: what should I run to get a list of system users
[18:05] <zykotick9> Ankhwatcher: i use "cat /etc/password"
[18:05] <zykotick9> s/password/passwd
[18:06] <graytron> I mean installation target
[18:06] <finnbob3334> anyone have a samsung laptop running 12.04? my brightness isn't working
[18:07] <cesarstafe> my doubt is if really there is a way to solve the problem for  wireless cards  BCM4312
[18:07] <zykotick9> graytron: instralling to NFS-share doesn't make sense to me?  why not install it locally, then share it with NFS?
[18:07] <cesarstafe> if not, so, there is not option,I'll have to wait for a time to upgrade to 12.04
[18:07] <ulkesh> finish06, a riser card?  a sata controller?
[18:07] <grpace> @uzf...  Would you know exactly what folder the default sounds are stored in?  I see .wav files for Skype, alsa, and others.  My thinking is they would be in the /usr/share/ folder.  Correct ??
[18:07] <Ankhwatcher> zykotick9: thanks, that only shows one of me

[18:08] <abhi_69> i've a ATI mobility Radeon HD 4200 series video card
[18:08] <graytron> zykotick9: NFS-server runs on Debian. I guess I could install it locally to the target machine and then copy all the files to NFS
[18:08] <abhi_69> currently i'm using gallium driver
[18:08] <zykotick9> graytron: actually i doubt it's possible to install to NFS, that's a file system not a partition
[18:08] <abhi_69> but can't play any 3D games with this driver
[18:08] <cesarstafe> bravery: I read some posts in askubuntu, but there isn't clear answers about a way to solve
[18:09] <trongable> can anyone help with an incomplete installation of 12.04?
[18:09] <abhi_69> so i need to install fglrx driver
[18:09] <trongable> *incomplete upgrade
[18:09] <uzf> grpace: maybe /usr/lib/sound ?
[18:09] <abhi_69> but question is: will it work under gnome-shell?
[18:09] <cesarstafe> there is one that solved it but he doesn't know how he has arrived to a solution :D
[18:09] <bravery> abhi_69, dont flood,instead post it with full details at a time
[18:09] <uzf> err somewhere
[18:09] <Fyodorovna> cesarstafe, did you see the bot message in broadcom?
[18:09] <cesarstafe> so, nothing tells me that I have to follow a way

[18:09] <cesarstafe> yes

[18:10] <grpace> @uzr...  Thank you!  I'll try that as well.  Also...  If I do an upgrade to the current version of Ubuntu, will Cairo Dock and other softwares remain intact, or will I have to re-install them?
[18:10] <finish06> ulkesh, thz mate
[18:11] <abhi_69> i want to install fglrx driver, but don't sure about how it'll work under gnome-shell, restricted driver had some issues with gnome-shell in the past, so i need to know if it works under gnome-shell
[18:11] <graytron> zykotick9: I guess its impossible with Ubuntu installation CD/DVD/netboot/etc images, but according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OnNFSDrive and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto it is possible. I was just wondering if there was an option to easily do it with the official installation media
[18:11] <cesarstafe> Fyodorovna: actually, I didn't upgrade yet, I'm trying to get some information before to have the real troubles
[18:11] <Fyodorovna> grkblood, did you install graphic drivers in your OS you upgraded from?
[18:12] <bravery> grkblood, did u run the "additional driver" application? do it and install the recommended.
[18:12] <zykotick9> graytron: ya, that's not something i know any details about.  good luck man.
[18:12] <Fyodorovna> cesarstafe, cool, well god luck. :)

[18:13] <Dannenberg> what do i need there?
[18:13] <cesarstafe> Fyodorovna: jaja, I am thinking more in wait for some time that going ahead with the upgrade
[18:13] <hdpb> Sound settings doesn't show my mic, but it works in sound recorder. trying to get it working in skype.
[18:13] <cesarstafe> this could be a real trouble for me in this time
[18:14] <uzf> and here we go.... installing packages...
[18:14] <uzf> brb, I hope
[18:14] <graytron> wylde: I already investigated LTSP a little, but it seemed to me like I couldn't run LTSP server on Debian and offer Ubuntu LTSP-images to clients, at least I couldn't find any docs about it.
[18:14] <Fyodorovna> cesarstafe, if you upgrading fro 10.04 it is set to upgrade on the actual lts for the update manager to show the upgrade
[18:14] <Fyodorovna> *from
[18:14] <cesarstafe> am a bit afraid of reading those problems with the exact same wireless card that I have
[18:15] <holas> Is there a way uninstall *evolution* packets without losing the panel-bar?
[18:15] <cesarstafe> I have my ubuntu in verion 11.10
[18:15] <wylde> graytron: I'm not sure about serving ubuntu from debian, although I don't imagine it's not possible. My garage computer is an old "diskless" PC that I use as a thin client.
[18:15] <Fyodorovna> !pm | Guest61222 use the channel for best help.
[18:15] <Delemas> Since upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04, I've been unable to type properly as my ' key has been overridden to create special characters. How do I turn that off?
[18:15] <cesarstafe> but very afraid about going for 12.04
[18:15] <bravery> hdpb, can u see the input tab on it?
[18:16] <cesarstafe> I guess that first I will try with a LiveCd
[18:16] <holas> hi there!
[18:16] <bravery> Delemas, u have to select ur keyboard in "keyboard preferences"
[18:16] <wylde> graytron: I imagine if you setup the LTSP in debian, you just have to configure the boot image from ubuntu and drop in place perhaps?
[18:16] <atomiczombie> tews
[18:16] <easypie> what does lsb in lsb_release stand for?
[18:16] <Fyodorovna> holas, why do you need to remove this?
[18:17] <hdpb> bravery: I see an input tab, but no device listed. input settings grayed out
[18:17] <Dannenberg> what do you have regarding /dev/shm in your /etc/fstab

[18:17] <ulkesh> easypie, Linux Standard Base
[18:17] <pkkid> Fyodorovna: Well guess what!!
[18:17] <JonEdney> Ubuntu+1 is invite only!
[18:17] <holas> Hi there
[18:17] <MerlynKorr> would partirtioning 12.04 be an answer to ceaserstrafes questions/dilemma?
[18:17] <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.
[18:18] <cesarstafe> yep, is decided, first I'll start a live cd 12.04 to see what happens .. this issue with wireless BCM4312 is making me think seriously about stop the upgrade
[18:18] <holas> yes
[18:18] <ulkesh> m1chael, dang, i saw that page, but scrolled quickly and didn't see any virtualization talk...so i bypassed it...sorry and grats for getting what you need!
[18:18] <Fyodorovna> pkkid, cool, great news.
[18:18] <Guest61222> Fyodorovna i am at boot menu have 4 option choosed ubuntu, with linux 3.0.0-12-generic after i pressed enter black screen and blinking cursor
[18:18] <holas> I'm trying to keep the system basic and light
[18:18] <Fyodorovna> !nomodeset | Guest61222
[18:18] <LordDragon> hey all
[18:18] <pkkid> Fyodorovna: I suppose I will declair sda hosed and move on with my life.
[18:18] <MerlynKorr> ceaserstrafe try a small partition install of 12.04
[18:18] <LordDragon> can anyone recommend an IRC client with a really nice GUI? xchat is too plain
[18:19] <Fyodorovna> pkkid, hard to say really your choice. :)
[18:19] <WilsonBradley> for some reason Unity is not working for almost a week. I can't see Icons on left nor top menu icons, I can click in the same menu area and it shows Wifi ,./ clock/account drop down menus.. I reinstalled Unity and Compiz also reset.
[18:19] <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
[18:20] <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.
[18:21] <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] <bravery> WilsonBradley, did u installed the driver for your video card?
[18:21] <MerlynKorr> did you get that ceaserstrafe?
[18:21] <bravery> WilsonBradley, did u install the driver for your video card?
[18:21] <WilsonBradley> yes , those are installed
[18:21] <holas> Is there some alternative to gnome-panel?
[18:21] <WilsonBradley> and havent changed that
[18:22] <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] <Fyodorovna> WilsonBradley, as a guess I would think graphic driver, you looked in additional drivers?
[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 :)
[18:23] <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] <JoseeAntonioR> holas: I think you speak spanish, you can check #ubuntu-es for support in Spanish (Sorry if I'm wrong :) )
[18:24] <WilsonBradley> It shows correct Intel video and Open GL works
[18:24] <holas> @bravery: I mean another "superior panel" or app-launcher
[18:24] <bravery> BrixMix, explain your question that would help others to answer u
[18:24] <JonEdney> Has anyone upgraded their server to 12.04 LTS yet?  I'm running 11.10, kinda curious.
[18:24] <Delemas> JonEdney, yup runs nicely...
[18:24] <JoseeAntonioR> JonEdney: A friend of mine did
[18:24] <BrixMix> bravery: cat /proc/asound/cards => --- no soundcards --- (after upgrade today)
[18:24] <fellayaboy> jrib r u there
[18:24] <JonEdney> Excellent, I may do that tonight.
[18:25] <hdpb> bravery: playback shows up, but no mic (Skype) Sound recorder show in apps, but no mic still in Input
[18:25] <bravery> holas, gnome panel is super and I love it that the unity
[18:25] <atomiczombie> need to do it, have a server running 10.04
[18:25] <balduin> holas, what do you mean the desktop environement or what? If you mean the desktop environement it gives some alternatives (Openbox, Cinnamon, KDE, Gnome Classic, Sugar, JWM, AWM, AWM+, Enlightment 16 or 17, LXDE, XFCE, KDE-Netbook)

[18:29] <Fyodorovna> WilsonBradley, within a couple of days the psychocat website will have 12.04 on the full remove and install lists for changing desktops, that might be helpful if in ally our tinkering your missing something, hard to say but the full DE app list is very helpful to me.
[18:29] <Fyodorovna> s/ally/all
[18:29] <kapz> ok I think ubuntu screwed me..twice. I installed 12.04 on my laptop successfully and after rebooting it cannot find disc! it asks for PXE or a cd/usb...i've installed it twicw with the same outcome
[18:30] <bravery> govedo, connect the net and run the update manager
[18:30] <MerlynKorr> i got my upgrade nearly 12 hours worth of time after initiating the process.
[18:30] <oldsk00l> kapz: press F12 or whatever at boot and select the boot device manually
[18:30] <govedo> bravery : NEVER!!!
[18:30] <atomiczombie> have you selected HDD as your fist boot device
[18:30] <bravery> MerlynKorr, I did my clean ubuntu install within 13 mnts
[18:30] <kapz> oldsk00l, if I choose HDD option, nothing happens
[18:31] <Travis-42> I'm getting hourly system crashes since upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04, but I can't really find any related issues. Has anyone else noticed this?
[18:31] <MerlynKorr> lol to that. its just because there were so many packages to install and fetch.
[18:32] <BrixMix>  :/ how do i make ubuntu search for solund cards?--- no soundcards ---
[18:32] <MerlynKorr> 2557 packages i believe.
[18:33] <osse> I just installed 12.04 and am having some troubles with grub. Whatever I do/choose at the grub menu I only get "error: no such partition" in return. I have now used the live CD to reinstall grub on /dev/sda4 but when I chroot and run 'sudo update-grub' I get 'sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu' :S
[18:33] <michael> is windows 8 better than ubuntu 12.04?
[18:33] <SamEEE> 2/10 michael
[18:33] <L3top> pkkid: That is very interesting, great news as well... but very confusing
[18:33] <Trieste> Hi, how do I set the default app for a certain file type in 12.04?
[18:33] <kapz> what do I do? I have installed it twice now! and thrice if I count the second laptop which btw is running ubuntu and this chat client....
[18:33] <osse> oops, I meant to write /dev/sda
[18:34] <michael> SamEEE, what do you mean?
[18:34] <Trieste> I selected it in system-settings, but even then, double-clicking opens the wrong app
[18:34] <ThinkT510> Trieste: rightclick the file and try open with
[18:34] <bravery> michael, use,compare and post here
[18:34] <Trieste> ThinkT510: that works only once, it doesn't remember the association
[18:34] <ThinkT510> Trieste: there should be a tickbox to check to make it the default
[18:34] <Amdpc> HI..I want to set my ip iof LAN but am unable to edit Wired Network connection settings.The "Edit"  button has greyed..I am using 12.04..PLease help..!
[18:35] <Trieste> ThinkT510: If it is there, I can't find it, are you on 12.04 right now?
[18:35] <Guest61222> Fyodorovna i presed " e " at boot menu added nomodeset after recordfail and acpi_osi= on another line after it and booted says unknown command
[18:35] <govedo> when running update from update manager  your whole system may crash and finish without window frames and no PulseAudio
[18:35] <ThinkT510> Trieste: yes
[18:35] <athetius> Trieste: Try looking in properties
[18:35] <brandonbolton> Has anyone else having issues with the 64-Bit image and installing it?
[18:36] <haled> I've got this delay when my cursor drags between windows in unity. how can I cancel it?
[18:36] <Trieste> athetius: yup, that works, thanks :)
[18:36] <ThinkT510> Trieste: open with > other application
[18:36] <Trieste> ThinkT510: yup, I did that, and the checkbox is not there, but athetius solved it already, so thanks anyway :)
[18:37] <holas> @esso Have you tried grub-install /dev/sda?
[18:37] <bravery> brandonbolton, pls dont ask to ask answer. Post your problems instead.
[18:37] <DJones> haled: Go to display properties and turn off sticky edges
[18:37] <Fyodorovna> Guest61222, put the nomodeset in pace of the splash notation this will give you a text read as it boots.
[18:37] <DJones> haled: I'm assuming you mean on a dual monitor setup
[18:37] <Fyodorovna> s/pace/place
[18:37] <brandonbolton> Ah sorry, it keeps saying that it cannot find a text file. I believe it was the help file.
[18:37] <haled> DJones, yes. thank you
[18:38] <atomiczombie> brandoN: try re-downloading
[18:38] <Fyodorovna> Guest61222, make sure the spaces are still there as well.
[18:38] <brandonbolton> atomiczombie, I have each time and burned new copies. :)
[18:38] <r4y> How do I shut down Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity?, I can't find it LOL

[18:38] <theuns> how do you fix the fonts in google earth on ubuntu 12.04
[18:38] <r4y> It's not there
[18:39] <brandonbolton> r4y, in the top right corner. You might have to log out then do it if you have gnome-shell installed.
[18:39] <r4y> Does it say shut down?
[18:39] <MerlynKorr> try hard reset?
[18:39] <ThinkT510> r4y: yes
[18:39] <MerlynKorr> the power button?
[18:39] <r4y> I don't have gnome installed
[18:39] <holas> have you tried the power button?
[18:39] <ThinkT510> r4y: unity is built on top of gnome3
[18:39] <r4y> Why should I hard reset
[18:40] <MerlynKorr> right the power button....?
[18:40] <atomiczombie> brandonbolton: what's the exact error message you age getting?
[18:40] <athetius> r4y: Open terminal, gain su access (via sudo su), type in "halt
[18:40] <athetius> "
[18:40] <r4y> I didn't know Unity was built on gnome
[18:40] <MerlynKorr> right autheius.....lol.
[18:40] <holas> I think u must have two buttons in your tower
[18:40] <ThinkT510> athetius: sudo -i is the proper way to get a root terminal
[18:40] <brandonbolton> atomiczombie, That it cannot find the help file.
[18:40] <holas> (o) Power ; (.) Reset
[18:41] <MerlynKorr> riht (o)
[18:41] <proka> Hi everyone. I have a problem with Amarok on Ubuntu 10.04 - it's process stays active when I quit it from menu or on Ctrl+Q, so to start it again, I have to kill the process and then start it. Also, it doesn't appear in Applications > Sound and video, and I've installed it via the terminal, from the repos. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you.
[18:41] <athetius> ThinkT510: No, su is "proper way"; whereas sudo -i is the ubuntu way.
[18:41] <n00b_> Can I ask someone a question about wubi.exe?
[18:41] <athetius> n00b_, just ask.
[18:41] <r4y> Right. OK. OK, so although I can't find the terminal, I know to hold control-alt-T to get the terminal so
[18:41] <ThinkT510> athetius: su yes, never sudo su

[18:43] <aJacom> hi, i was trying to install ati graphics driver, and it didn't work. then i used --force, and now i have 2 duplicate menu items for the catalyst control panel. im sick of it and i want to uninstall the whole thing. how can i do it ? (i installed it using sudo sh filename.run)
[18:43] <Fyodorovna> Maccer, using the alternative cd
[18:43] <n00b_> I have an i686 cpu apparently and I am having trouble finding a distro that will work. Ive already checked various BIOS settings, etc
[18:43] <n00b_> But thank you _athetius for helping me out
[18:43] <proka> @holas Nope, that didn't help. :/
[18:43] <Maccer> Fyodorovna:  The what?  There's no way to upgrade OS level using a CD? :\
[18:43] <r4y> Where's start?
[18:44] <holas> @proka: Did you sudo it right?
[18:44] <Fyodorovna> Maccer, you can upgrade using the alternative cd rather then the live cd.
[18:44] <kapz> wat! no-one with ANY hint?
[18:44] <proka> Yeah, ofc
[18:44] <athetius> n00b_: I think Debian still does i686
[18:44] <proka> Although it didn't give me any output. I don't know if it should

[18:45] <Fyodorovna> Maccer, the alternative is a text install and has a upgrade feature among others not on the live cd.
[18:45] <kapz> MerlynKorr, help guys I am lost now....fresh install ubuntu 12.04, installation finishes successfully, however after reboot system cannot boot i.e like there is no grub or bootloader....I installed twice now
[18:45] <Fyodorovna> kapz, your only install?
[18:45] <Fyodorovna> or OS
[18:45] <dj_segfault> kapz: Did you try booting from the LiveCD and choosing the boot from hard drive option?  If that works you can have it reinstall the bootloader
[18:45] <Steve132> kapz: do you have any usb devices connected?
[18:45] <r4y> Cool, which opens dash home. OK, TY
[18:46] <MerlynKorr> try a lower level install, then go back to 12.04....i ot a clean install, so i dont know if im actually qualified...

[18:47] <kapz> Steve132, nope...and the CD I installed with works fine on another laptop...on a note, the first time I tried to install, Ubuntu warned that there was some alignment issue with disc and that I should delete and re-create partitions, which I did
[18:47] <robgraves> Steve132: yes, i have Defcon, Darwinia, Multiwinia, Nexiuz, etc all running fullscreen with unity on Ubuntu 12.04
[18:47] <r4y> TY for the help. I am not used to Unity and I want to install gnome-shell and ditch it, and forget it exists, LOL

[18:48] <Steve132> robgraves: Ok, so any ideas what could cause that bug to happen to me?  I can't get nexuiz, supertux, or tuxcart to work in fullscreen mode
[18:48] <ThinkT510> ricardof: you don't, you can only upgrade from one to the next or from lts to lts
[18:48] <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] <quackers> ricardof, to upgrade from 10-10 to 12-04 you need to upgrade to 11-04 then 11-10 then 12-04

[18:49] <proka> @holas proka@home-pc:~$ amarok
[18:49] <proka> The program 'amarok' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[18:49] <proka> sudo apt-get install amarok
[18:49] <robgraves> Steve132: um what video card do you have? Did you get the proprietary drivers?
[18:49] <kapz> *try,install
[18:49] <proka> After doing the two steps.
[18:49] <Fyodorovna> WilsonBradley, I am 10 minutes from having to write a grad school letter of intent so I can't get tied up in stuff really
[18:49] <semitones_tea> ricardof: the best thing to do is upgrade sequentially, or you might want to install over what you have (it keeps your documents, but not your applications)
[18:49] <Steve132> robgraves: Nvidia GTX 460m
[18:49] <Steve132> yes
[18:49] <Steve132> proprietary driver from the restricted driver manager
[18:49] <holas> @proka: ok now install it
[18:49] <ricardof> semitones_tea, ThinkT510 and quackers, thanks for the answers, now I gonna upgrade to 11.04 an so on. Bye
[18:49] <holas> :)
[18:49] <Steve132> activated and confirmed...the games run fast as hell, just can't do fullscreen
[18:49] <anand> fuck
[18:49] <quackers> ricardof, do backups first! upgrading so many times can be grievous!
[18:50] <WilsonBradley> Fyodorovna:  no prob.,.thanks anyway and good luck
[18:50] <ThinkT510> !language | anand
[18:50] <holas> upgrade hmmm

[18:50] <anand> ubottu: sorry
[18:50] <robgraves> Steve132: I'm  not sure offhand
[18:50] <Fyodorovna> quackers, hows the grub work at the UF. :)
[18:50] <guy_> is it possible that both Chromium 32bit and Chromium 64bit coexist together after fetching the other twin through apt-get --force-architecture ?
[18:50] <Steve132> ok
[18:51] <hasenj> hey, last night I updated to 12.04 and at the last step (restart), after restarting, the computer is stuck at "checking battery state", no gui
[18:51] <quackers> Fyodorovna, grubby :-)
[18:51] <semitones_tea> is it safe to run sudo aptitude full-update?
[18:51] <holas> Strange
[18:51] <mystblade9> How do I make the video lens show results from YouTube instead of YouTube Education and YouTube Shows?
[18:51] <hasenj> any help? if it's relevant, my video card is ati (system 76 laptop)
[18:51] <Fyodorovna> quackers, col I used to help I forget my old nic though.

[18:52] <Ethyne> Hello, how can I find out what package provides binary ?
[18:52] <LjL> Ethyne: dpkg -S filename

[18:52] <bp0> hello. I can't get Startup Disk Creator or unetbootin to create a bootable live usb from the 12.04 dvd or cd for amd64, but I have a 10.10 cd that works fine.
[18:52] <guy_> anyone ?
[18:52] <Steve132> I'm going to go back to KUbuntu, I think.  I can try it there
[18:53] <Ethyne> Thanks
[18:53] <quackers> Fyodorovna, you may be able to do an advanced search in UF using the part name of a member
[18:53] <holas> @proka: strange, this amarok ;) it's from the universe repo?
[18:53] <quackers> might find your old nick
[18:54] <proka> @holas: How can I check that to be sure? I guess it is, but I'm not 100% sure.
[18:55] <Guest61222> anyone here have time to install ubuntu 11.10 with me as i need guidance i have no clue with linux
[18:55] <holas> proka: Your sources.list must be clean
[18:55] <ThinkT510> Guest61222: why not use 12.04?
[18:56] <holas> @proka: I mean Ubuntu-only repos
[18:56] <YoDude> Hi! I'm wondering if I can install the latest Ubuntu, on top of 11.04 using the windows installer .. Would this upgrade 11.04 or add a new boot option?
[18:56] <Guest61222> Think i dont mind i have it on dvd if you wish i'l replace it now i dont mind doing anything
[18:56] <holas> hmm windows
[18:56] <L3top> It should be fairly straightforward Guest61222. You shouldn't need linux help... but give it a try and folks are always here to help if you run into problems. You might also try the LTS 1204 version which was just released.
[18:57] <Fyodorovna> tommis, the is a weather indicator in the repos

[19:00] <tomatoteeth> Hi all. Just installed ubuntu using the entire drive on my new toshiba netbook -. when booting i get a grub error - grub rescue file not found - I'm not quite sure what to do to fix the problem - booting from live usb works fine...
[19:00] <lamdis> just upgraded to ubuntu 12.04 from 11.10 but can't reboot can anyone offer some advice thanks
[19:00] <decksmasher> ThinkT510; yes the xfce looks pretty interesting.?
[19:00] <BrixMix> wich kernel modules must i enable to get a sound with 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller ?
[19:00] <cc11rocks> Running Ubuntu 12.04. Ubuntu One won't finishing syncing. The notification keeps popping up saying that it's syncing a number of files.
[19:01] <ThinkT510> decksmasher: xfce is my favourite, but i'm giving unity a try with 12.04, it isn't that bad
[19:01] <Fyodorovna> lamdis, what OS are installed altogether?
[19:01] <NedMan74> 12.04 seems to be giving a lot of grief all around
[19:01] <lamdis> just ubuntu
[19:01] <ThinkT510> decksmasher: but unity isn't for everyone (good thing it isn't the only choice)
[19:01] <Guest61222> ThinkT510 ??
[19:01] <ThinkT510> Guest61222: where are you stuck?
[19:01] <JoFo> Hello every body
[19:01] <JoFo> With Precise, the dock is always visible. When I move a window to the left, it goes behind the dock which permanently remains visible. I’d like it to disappear when I don’t need it. Where can I tune that?
[19:01] <holas> @tomatoteeth try googling "chroot to recover grub ubuntu"
[19:02] <Guest61222> ThinkT510 i am now at boot menu
[19:02] <decksmasher> Its been designed fore touch screen its terrible,in
[19:02] <Fyodorovna> lamdis, you can reload grub to the mbr if that is the problem.
[19:02] <cc11rocks> JoFo : System Settings > Appearance > Behavior > Hide
[19:02] <JoFo> Thanks
[19:02] <cc11rocks> JoFo : No problem
[19:02] <proka> @holas Still the same :(
[19:02] <ThinkT510> decksmasher: point being, you can use a different desktop environment
[19:03] <NedMan74> so.... wifi....???
[19:03] <tomatoteeth> Thanks holas but looks complicated???
[19:03] <lamdis> let me try reloading grub to the mbr
[19:03] <MerlynKorr> im having the same problem with the dock menu, but thaqt same problem was evidient with 11.10 as well.
[19:03] <ThinkT510> decksmasher: no need to stay with 10.10, gnome2 is dying fast
[19:03] <holas> @proka: then must be a problem with your system
[19:03] <gorski> decksmasher: you have gnome-session-fallback http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/08/return-to-ubuntu-classic-desktop-in-ubuntu-11-10/
[19:03] <decksmasher> ThinkT510; yes u can.
[19:03] <Fyodorovna> decksmasher, if you have to have gnome2 try debian.
[19:04] <ThinkT510> decksmasher: stay with 10.10 if you wish, you'll get no support though
[19:04] <holas> but not sid
[19:04] <holas> :P
[19:04] <proka> @holas Damn... Okay, thanks for your help anyway!
[19:04] <holas> it's default there
[19:04] <decksmasher> The lack off support is whats worrying me.;(
[19:04] <ThinkT510> decksmasher: 10.04 and 11.04 still have gnome2 and they are still supported
[19:04] <holas> @proka: I u really wanna try u can download the source and compile
[19:05] <NedMan74> apologies for being a noob but i am using my phone docked as wifi, need help for my wifi...
[19:05] <proka> @holas I'll probably try that later..
[19:05] <holas> try googgling "compile deb src ubuntu"
[19:05] <ThinkT510> decksmasher: but seriously, start looking for a replacement for gnome2
[19:05] <ThinkT510> decksmasher: xfce is awesome
[19:05] <decksmasher> ThinkT510: thats the direction i gonna take i think.
[19:05] <holas> @proka: that recompiles the deb package
[19:06] <ismarc_netbook> Anyone here think they can help me out getting a non-functional touchpad working again?  Everything I've been able to find from bug-reports hasn't worked
[19:06] <holas> @proka: Its a prev. step to download it from upstream :)
[19:06] <holas> excuse my english hehe :)
[19:07] <Fyodorovna> ismarc_netbook, saw you yesterday, have you tried any forum threads for help?
[19:07] <ismarc_netbook> Fyodorovna: Haven't posted in any yet, still compiling the list of all the steps I've tried to make a post
[19:07] <Fyodorovna> !root | Guest62103
[19:08] <holas> uhhhhhh blue pill
[19:08] <ThinkT510> Fyodorovna: maybe you meant !rootirc
[19:08] <holas> :)
[19:08] <NedMan74> please.... anyone??
[19:08] <Fyodorovna> ThinkT510, yeah
[19:09] <benjamindaines> I installed a patched indicator-power package to do display battery percent, but now I want the default one back... how do I do that
[19:09] <Fyodorovna> ismarc_netbook, a good background helps yeah.
[19:10] <NedMan74> 11.04 upgraded to 12.04 .. left me unable to connect to wifi... please help...appreciate it
[19:10] <ThinkT510> NedMan74: directly upgraded?
[19:10] <Guest61222> ThinkT510 when you suggested the 12.04 you wanted to help me or just wondering ?
[19:11] <mupfibebi> hello everybody! can someone help me with ubuntu 11.10 and chatroulette?
[19:11] <ThinkT510> Guest61222: just wondering
[19:11] <NedMan74> yes... chose to upgrade..left it all day today, doing its thing
[19:11] <ThinkT510> Guest61222: sounded like you needed nomodeset
[19:11] <L3top> What help do you need Guest61222? It is a pretty lead you by a string install
[19:11] <ThinkT510> !nomodeset | Guest61222
[19:11] <wylde> ismarc_netbook: don't forget the mailing lists, you can get a much wider audience using them too :) https://lists.ubuntu.com
[19:11] <tommis> i can't get indicator-weather to working..
[19:11] <razvan986> greeting from romania
[19:12] <L3top> sorry... I wasn't keeping up Guest61222
[19:12] <Guest61222> i want to install ubuntu either 11.10 or 12.04 anyone likes to help me please ?
[19:12] <L3top> ci face
[19:12] <kate> ok, so i'm running 11.04 on a toshiba satelite. i can't get my system to update and it says thatsome of the original repositories are no longer available... did ubuntu stop supporting 11.04?
[19:12] <razvan986> pe aici si eu
[19:12] <ismarc_netbook> wylde: forgot about the mailing lists, I'll cross-post there
[19:12] <ThinkT510> Guest61222: didn't you say that when you have installed you can't boot
[19:12] <ThinkT510> ?
[19:13]  * L3top shouldn't do that... this chan is English only
[19:13] <mupfibebi> sorry L3top dont understand what u mean with string install?
[19:13] <std0s> kate, i think the repos are being hammered today because of 12.04 could be that
[19:13] <Guest61222> i am starting all over again doing it from scratch for better help
[19:14] <L3top> mupfibebi: meaning it is, in most cases, a no brainer install.  It asks you a couple of straight forward questions and installs itself... on most equip.
[19:14] <Ethyne> Hello, is there by any chance a 32Bit version libfuse.so to install along site the 64Bit version?
[19:14] <uzf> Linux darkside 3.2.0-24-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 25 08:43:22 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[19:14] <uzf> :_
[19:14] <uzf> :)
[19:14] <kate> std0s, that makes sense.. is there a way to confirm that i have the correct/current repositories for the apps i have installed? like a apt-get validate or something like that?
[19:14] <uzf> well, so dist upgrade actually worked from 10.04 to 12.04
[19:14] <uzf> had some .ICEauthority problem, I just did a touch .ICEauthority
[19:16] <L3top> Nice uzf
[19:16] <uzf> I need to try out all my programs now
[19:16] <Chaosadnd> anyone having problems getting dvds to play in 12.04 lts?
[19:16] <uzf> update-manager died on the "Cleaning up step" before I rebooted
[19:17] <xangua> !dvd | Chaosadnd
[19:17] <uzf> I sent a crash report, not sure what the problem was.. I ran update-manager -d again and it didnt have any problems
[19:17] <kate> is there a way to validate repos currently being used by my system?
[19:17] <Chaosadnd> I'vedont sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:17] <Chaosadnd> still not playing :(
[19:18] <uzf> first things first, how do I auto-hide the unity sidebar
[19:18] <malkauns> what's wrong with the expo feature in 12.04? it just doesnt work and freezes my desktop
[19:18] <std0s> I would have a check to make sure its still the right address (for the repos)
[19:18] <L3top> Chaosadnd: read the link
[19:18] <xangua> kate: define validate, you meam you missed the gpg keys¿
[19:18] <uzf> I found it
[19:18] <uzf> n/m
[19:18] <BrixMix> cat /proc/asound/cards => --- no soundcards --
[19:18] <BrixMix> how to solve
[19:19] <kate> no, my system hasn't been updating for about a week now and i can't get videos to play online, it won't check my mail, etc... it says to check my internet connection but it's working perfectly
[19:19] <std0s> er - I wouldnt say that kate
[19:19] <BrixMix> brb
[19:19] <kate> haha
[19:19] <MerlynKorr> brixmix try clicking on the volume icon at the top right of the screen
[19:19] <std0s> what happens with ftp?
[19:20] <kate> don't know how to do that
[19:20] <std0s> or a speed test - might be your isp?
[19:20] <kate> i did that.. speed is good
[19:20] <uzf> not bad, figured I was screwed with a dist upgrade
[19:20] <kate> 30mb down and 8up
[19:20] <std0s> ok,  what are the symptoms?
[19:20] <OnHaLT> i want to install ubuntu either 11.10 or 12.04 anyone likes to help me please ?
[19:20] <MerlynKorr> ?
[19:21] <std0s> OnHaLT, go for 12.04 - its shiny and new!
[19:21] <uzf> and my kernel patch made it upstream :D
[19:21] <uzf> sweeeeeeet
[19:21] <OnHaLT> ok boot menu is up on live dvd
[19:21] <std0s> congrats uzf
[19:21] <MerlynKorr> brixmix? can yoyu adjust the volume control from that icon?
[19:21] <grnt> uzf: what does the patch do
[19:21] <MerlynKorr> you*
[19:22] <uzf> ALSA support changes
[19:22] <cc11rocks> uzf : Congrats :)
[19:22] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  no icon
[19:22] <uzf> I've been waiting for 4 months for this
[19:22] <uzf> I had some custom kernel and couldn't update until now
[19:22] <L3top> kate... this is a little hack that will validate all repositories in your sources.list... so... make sure they are trusted: gpgs=$(apt-get update |& grep -s NO_PUBKEY | awk '{ print $NF }' | cut -c 9-16); if [ -n $gpgs ]; then for gpg in $gpgs; do gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys $gpg; gpg --export --armor $gpg | apt-key add -; done; fi
[19:22] <MerlynKorr> the icons list at the top rigfht of the screen... are there any?
[19:23] <QuikNik> hey all couple of stupid questions... first of all.  Can I play blu-ray discs on a ubuntu 12.04 system with a blu ray player?
[19:23] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  yes all but sound :)
[19:23] <grnt> whoa, nice. maybe you happen to know, does alsa have some exclusive mode?
[19:23] <L3top> you will need to be root kate
[19:23] <MerlynKorr> try the gear at the top.
[19:23] <OnHaLT> std0s boot menu of linux mint is up which option i choose
[19:23] <BrixMix> yes then system settingsa and sound... then i got no device listed
[19:23] <wylde> !mint | OnHaLT
[19:23] <MerlynKorr> where it says system settings....
[19:24] <std0s> whats the options OnHaLT?
[19:24] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  i think is the kernel modules removed
[19:24] <kate> L3top, ok. i'll try that. thank you
[19:24] <grnt> similar to wasapi (windows) when the app can request exclusive access to device and sound stops to come from elsewhere
[19:24] <cc11rocks> QuikNik : Try "sudo apt-get install vlc" That should play your blue ray movies
[19:24] <MerlynKorr> did you try the gear there?
[19:24] <MerlynKorr> or is there not one?
[19:24] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  yes in the gear i go to system settings then sound and in the end i get "no devices"
[19:24] <L3top> kate, it does a blind update so it takes some time, seeming to hang. It is not, it is just not spitting out the update dialog
[19:25] <LordDragon> hey guys. anyone have any idea why pidgin is playing intermittent sounds in 12.04?
[19:25] <vinhdizzo> i just upgraded to ubuntu 12.04 server.  now, i get "segmentation fault" when i type "sudo" or "su"
[19:25] <LordDragon> if i use "preview sound" it plays, but when i send or receive a message, nothing happens
[19:25] <MerlynKorr> right in system settings...wait ill check mine out... brb
[19:25] <Troy^> so i guess i need a different pci-e card
[19:25] <vinhdizzo> dmesg shows segfault [15775.893368] sudo[4628]: segfault at 500 ip b6ff7741 sp bfad9250 error 4 in libpthread-2.15.so[b6ff2000+17000]
[19:25] <Troy^> anyone have any suggestiosn for fully support wireless pci-e 300mbps card
[19:26] <vinhdizzo> any thoughts???
[19:26] <std0s> LordDragon, could be a conflict with accessing the soundcard?
[19:26] <MerlynKorr> first check hardware to see if all drivers were installed
[19:26] <LordDragon> std0s, sound works fine for all other apps. banshee/spotify, etc
[19:26] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  hardware ok
[19:27] <ray_> I've got a few issues after doing a fresh install of 12.04. The most pressing is that the computer halts on shutdown with a umount error message.
[19:27] <MerlynKorr> check available drivers to make sure they were installed...
[19:27] <grnt> Does anyone know why default ubuntu installation includes busybox? What's the point?
[19:27] <MerlynKorr> brb
[19:27] <guntbert> vinhdizzo: I have no help to offer but keep in mind that your questions are much easier to read if you keep them on one line - and you could ask in #ubuntu-server
[19:27] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  i have to leave for 20 mins client (sorry)
[19:28] <guntbert> !nickspam | liniben
[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] <OerHeks> grnt it doesn't come default with busybox
[19:28] <Haffe> Hey people.
[19:29] <Bigc85> hello all
[19:29] <r4y> How do I adjust appearance so that I have black in the background of menus?
[19:29] <malkauns> r4y, that depends on your theme
[19:29] <LordDragon> std0s, how can i check for conflicts?
[19:29] <aguitel> anyway to install amsn in 12.04?
[19:29] <grnt> MirkoKa: Thx! OerHeks: installed from Alternative CD. It came
[19:29] <MerlynKorr> r4y that would be in system settings under windows.
[19:29] <Haffe> I know how to make tar compress all files recusivley.
[19:29] <MerlynKorr> ?
[19:29] <malkauns> MerlynKorr, windows???
[19:29] <guntbert> !enter | Haffe
[19:30] <MerlynKorr> or somewhere thereabouts.... i believe so...
[19:30] <ray_> I'm getting the message, "umount: /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs busy - remounted read only" when trying to shutdown. Any ideas on what's wrong with my setup?
[19:30] <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.
[19:31] <grnt> At least it's presence makes sense now. I thought it's only for embedded devices
[19:31] <lmao25> if ubuntu is so easy to use why is there 1000+ in here
[19:32] <jrib> lmao25: please stick to actual ubuntu support questions
[19:33] <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] <emdub> anyone familiar with the inner workings of preseed and upstart?  specifically when start-stop-daemon is supposed to be renamed in the install process?
[19:34] <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 ?
[19:35] <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?
[19:36] <Haffe> OerHeks: Thanks.
[19:36] <Haffe> OerHeks: I found a solution involving exclude
[19:36] <GreenHornedPengu> Hey guys i am having issues with file sharing to a windows box .. I have set the item up for share in samba and can see it on my windows box but when i access a file its says not auth .. any ideas ?
[19:36] <aguitel> xangua, coz emesene are not working fine
[19:37] <r4y> I installed Gnome-shell classic and went to the same place which rendered what happened when I tried adjusting Unity. I just went to applications, system tools, system settings, appearance
[19:37] <MirkoKa> grnt: yes, POSIX is the most basic standard when it comes to Unix and Unix-like systems. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Operating_System_Interface
[19:37] <MerlynKorr> right....r4y,then what?
[19:37] <MerlynKorr> you only got blue?
[19:38] <r4y> high contrast on the right bottom, then I picked the color black on the bottom right of the picture of the monitor
[19:38] <r4y> No
[19:38] <r4y> I got black in the background on the desktop
[19:38] <r4y> but not the menus
[19:39] <spitzi> Hello. In Ubuntu 12, how do I disable the screen lock after several minutes of inactivity ?
[19:39] <guntbert> !enter > r4y
[19:39] <MerlynKorr> did you try double clicking the color?
[19:39] <MerlynKorr> r4y?
[19:39] <r4y> Yes
[19:40] <grnt> MirkoKa: now that you mentioned internets, does anyone know why "iinks" (console browser) displays all web pages in english? I mean it transliterates other language. Lynx doesn't exhibit same problem
[19:40] <MerlynKorr> what happened r4y?
[19:40] <r4y> The same
[19:40] <MerlynKorr> as in  what r4y?
[19:40] <r4y> It picked black
[19:41] <MerlynKorr> im not sure that you can change the default there r4y.
[19:41] <r4y> But not the way I wanted. I should just find a tutorial.
[19:41] <spitzi> I looked online but found nothing. It's as if evert since Unity was introduced, Ubuntu became gradually unfriendlier.
[19:41] <ThinkT510> spitzi: system settings > brightness and screenlock
[19:41] <MerlynKorr> sorry r4y.
[19:41] <r4y> It's cool
[19:41] <fahmad> can someone help me with ldap authentication with lightdm ...

[19:41] <angs> I have one desktop that has on-board 8bit graphic card. I installed XP and vista, the display was terrible, then I installed ubuntu and it works very good although ubuntu has better graphic interface than xp and vista. what is the reason that windows requires better graphic cards whereas ubuntu can work very well with bad graphic cards?
[19:42] <spitzi> ThinkT510, thanks
[19:42] <ThinkT510> spitzi: no worries :)
[19:42] <spitzi> ThinkT510, and how do I tweak the screensaver ?
[19:42] <r4y> Maybe there is a way to get back the gnome classic appearance menu?
[19:43] <utu-san> r4y, install gnome-panel
[19:43] <MerlynKorr> there might be a way.... just check back n let us know...r4y..
[19:43] <ThinkT510> spitzi: good question, i never use a screensaver
[19:43] <OnHaLT> std0s you still here ?
[19:43] <Deithrian> Is it possible to get an update on GNS3 ? The version in software center is 0.7.4 and the last official release is 0.8.2 ....
[19:43] <MerlynKorr> personally ive never heard of that kind of reconfiguring r4y.
[19:43] <MirkoKa> grnt: you mean links, right. can't confirm it. maybe you don't have locales set up correctly?
[19:44] <r4y> I'll try that, TY for a direction even if it turns out wrong
[19:44] <MerlynKorr> r4y good luck.
[19:44] <MerlynKorr> bad as the help was.
[19:44] <r4y> TY, you too, and everyone else as well. Good luck all.
[19:45] <grnt> MirkoKa: you mean it doesn't transliterate on your end? try visisting some russian page, like, http://yandex.ru/
[19:45] <fahmad> any one ?
[19:45] <malkauns> is virtualbox.org down for everyone else?
[19:45] <spitzi> Thanks and bye
[19:45] <guntbert> !please | fahmad
[19:46] <MirkoKa> grnt: i see it in russia
[19:46] <r4y> It said gnome-panel is already installed and is the newest version
[19:46] <ray_> I'm trying to figure out what is causing /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs to be "busy" and cause umount to fail at shutdown. Any suggestions on where to look?
[19:46] <grnt> hm... i'll recheck it now
[19:46] <ismarc_netbook> malkauns: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/virtualbox.org (yes it is)
[19:47] <malkauns> thx
[19:47] <ismarc_netbook> malkauns: That's one of the best websites I've found
[19:47] <uzf> Anyone know if this is a bug?  I have the unity sidebar auto-hiding on and when you fullscreen an app, the app gets chopped off
[19:47] <utu-san> r4y, then when you login select gnome-classic for your session instead
[19:48] <grnt> MirkoKa: do you know how to fix this locales issue? Provided I'm not currently in any GUI or X
[19:49] <MirkoKa> grnt: not sure if it's a locale issue. just tried in a plain text console (no x terminal emulator) and it still was russia. what ubuntu and links version do you use?
[19:50] <uzf> Im tired of staring at the screen all day, nap time :)
[19:50] <MerlynKorr> virtualbox.org c rashed on the redirect
[19:50] <grnt> MirkoKa: freshly installed 12.04, apt-cache show links: 2.6-1
[19:51] <MerlynKorr> thats what happened on chromium anyway
[19:51] <cromag> 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.
[19:51] <MirkoKa> grnt: sorry, don't know. still on 10.04, will clone it and update to 12.04 next week
[19:52] <aguitel> anyway to boot in verbose mode (no splash ) ?
[19:53] <Trieste> hi, I once installed an app in wine, "darwinbots", and now every app I run in wine appers with the darwinbots icon and name, how to fix that?
[19:53] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  sorry im back :)
[19:54] <MerlynKorr> brimix
[19:54] <MerlynKorr> brixmix
[19:54] <BrixMix> :)
[19:54] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  still care to help me?
[19:54] <mikubuntu> OMG.  Mayday, Mayday.  Just did update on my laptop to 10.10, and on restart i have black monitor.  I can hear the 'ping' it makes for the login module, and it seems to be computing the login, but still no screen.
[19:54] <MerlynKorr> i will see if ki can
[19:54] <MerlynKorr> i*
[19:54] <geck00> Hi.  12.10 64bit fresh install.  I have an nvidia GeForce 7950GT that won't work properly with 12.10 64bit.  It works in 32bit though.  No matter if I use recommended or latest nvndia drivers.  The symptoms are lo-res colour(like 16bit) and a larger desktop than the montior allows..I checked overscan properties and it is greyed out under nvidia settings...any ideas???
[19:55] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  thks in adcance
[19:55] <Jordan_U> mikubuntu: Why did you upgrade to 10.10 rather than 12.04?
[19:55] <ismarc_netbook> aguitel: You should be able to hit ESC when it shows the splash
[19:55] <MerlynKorr> go ahead.
[19:55] <aguitel> ismarc_netbook, every time ?
[19:55] <spikebike> I have a new ubuntu 12.04 install, I have two monitors and there's a huge resistance to moving the mouse between monitors.  Anyone know how to get rid of it so I can move the mouse between display easily?
[19:55] <guntbert> aguitel: in the grub menu, edit the command item - replace    quiet  and   splash with   noquiet    and     nosplash
[19:55] <ismarc_netbook> aguitel: You used to be able to set nosplash as one of the parameters to the command from grub, but it's been a long time since I did
[19:55] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  in hardware all is upto date
[19:56] <mikubuntu> hey, Jordan_U , i think it has to upgrade incrementally, right?
[19:56] <ismarc_netbook> aguitel: Nah, hitting ESC will only do it for that time
[19:56] <grnt> MirkoKa: looks like I've found a solution. Character set had to be in UTF-8
[19:56] <aguitel> ismarc_netbook, every boot?
[19:56] <Jordan_U> mikubuntu: Not from one LTS release to the next.
[19:56] <Jordan_U> !upgrade | mikubuntu
[19:57] <redemption> any one know which is the best linux system out there?
[19:57] <MerlynKorr> system settings>solund >
[19:57] <tjf> on Gnome Classic, how do I add an icon to the top bar thing?
[19:57] <MirkoKa> grnt: just curious. character set of what? terminal environment or links?
[19:57] <geck00> redemption, wrong channel for that question
[19:57] <tjf> right clicking doesn't work.
[19:57] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  all with no Devices
[19:57] <Jordan_U> mikubuntu: *now* you'll have to upgrade going to 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04 though since you already upgraded to 10.10.
[19:57] <MerlynKorr> brixmix it has several settings to tweak there brixmix.
[19:57] <redemption> kinda figured but i would check anyways
[19:57] <ismarc_netbook> aguitel: Found the way to configure grub to not show it... edit /etc/default/grub, look for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and remove "quiet splash" (if that's all it's set to, leave it as "")
[19:57] <BrixMix> ok MerlynKorr what?
[19:57] <aguitel> ismarc_netbook, ok
[19:58] <ismarc_netbook> aguitel: and then run sudo update-grub2
[19:58] <ismarc_netbook> aguitel: and that will keep the splash from ever showing up again
[19:58] <MirkoKa> geck00: right-click -> add launcher? if a menu entry, right-click the entry and choose "add a launcher to panel"
[19:58] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  output, input, hardware are all empty
[19:58] <redemption> I run ubuntu but i have problems with compiling with make i get errors on the programs
[19:58] <std0s> OnHaLT, back now :)
[19:58] <Jordan_U> mikubuntu: Are you able to see a terminal if you press ctrl+alt+F1?
[19:58] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: so my problem is i already last 4 hours upgrading to 10.10, and now no monitor (black screen) --- have you heard of this?
[19:58] <MirkoKa> redemption: what error? please use pasebin
[19:59] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: lemme see
[19:59] <redemption> uhh I am kinda of a noob to this.
[19:59] <grnt> MirkoKa: Links. There's an option in menu (Setup -> Character set). I guess it means "default character set"
[19:59] <redemption> but comes up error 2 on most of the things.
[19:59] <redemption> I just switched from windows not to long ago.. tired of the crashes and pretty blue screens.
[19:59] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: no, can't see term
[19:59] <Jen> I'm trying to install a 12.04 64-bit ISO, MD5SUM is fine, defect check on the USB boot is fine ... it eventually comes up when I go 'try ubuntu without installing' - but freezes when I try to select 'install ubuntu' from the menu -- any ideas?
[20:00] <MerlynKorr> brixmix what are the sound settings at under that menu tab area set at? and what is the settin g for applications?
[20:00] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  output, input, hardware are all empty
[20:00] <Carroarmato0> Hi, I just found out a process is running on my laptop called  whoopsie. I have no clue what it is and what it does.
[20:00] <geck00> MirkoKa, ???? thats not gona help me sorry
[20:00] <geck00> Hi.  12.10 64bit fresh install.  I have an nvidia GeForce 7950GT that won't work properly with 12.10 64bit.  It works in 32bit though.  No matter if I use recommended or latest nvndia drivers.  The symptoms are lo-res colour(like 16bit) and a larger desktop than the montior allows..I checked overscan properties and it is greyed out under nvidia settings...any ideas???
[20:00] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  i dont get it, what tab?
[20:00] <Jordan_U> mikubuntu: See if you can get to a terminal by rebooting (do *not* pull the plug to shut off), holding shift during boot, and selecting the recovery mode entry from the grub menu.
[20:01] <Jordan_U> !sysrq | mikubuntu
[20:01] <MerlynKorr> the applications tab brixmix
[20:01] <MirkoKa> geck00: what are you trying to add to the panel? a program from the menu, an own command, a document, etc=
[20:01] <BrixMix> "no application is currently recording or playing audio"
[20:01] <geck00> MirkoKa, my issue is driver-centric
[20:01] <DelGs> hello everybody
[20:01] <DelGs> anyone here
[20:01] <MerlynKorr> what happens when you click that menu item brixmix?
[20:01] <neurochrome> hey peeps, *finally* got 12.04 installed (nightmare, servers must have been swamped)... anyhow, is there a way to permanently show the global menu yet?  can't find anything online, it's been an issue for AGES...
[20:02] <BrixMix> nothing
[20:02] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: what if i've already shutdown a couple of times using the power button
[20:02] <MirkoKa> geck00: 1. please be more specific and please be more clear, "driver-centric" doesn't make any sense
[20:02] <DelGs> Hey guys , i just installed 12.04 my first linux OS and i need help installing my wireless card drivers
[20:02] <DelGs> could anybody help me?
[20:02] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr: nothing
[20:02] <ismarc_netbook> Carroarmato0: It's for submitting crash info...
[20:02] <ismarc_netbook> $ dpkg -l | grep whoopsie
[20:02] <ismarc_netbook> ii  whoopsie                                       0.1.32                                  Ubuntu crash database submission daemon
[20:02] <box> helllo all
[20:02] <grnt> I guess I'll stay with links then. Lynx is kind of bad in displaying tables, doesn't have js and what's even strange it doesn't remember settings
[20:02] <Jordan_U> mikubuntu: You're probably fine, it's just something you should avoid doing when possible.
[20:02] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr: "no application is currently recording or playing audio"
[20:02] <std0s> DelGs, do you have internet access on the machine (eg ethernet)
[20:02] <MerlynKorr> try on the left side of the screen as well.... there is a system settin gs button there as well brixmix.
[20:02] <DelGs> yes
[20:02] <DelGs> i'm on ethernet at the moment
[20:02] <neurochrome> geck00, 12.10? you from the future?
[20:03] <geck00> Hi.  12.10 64bit fresh install.  I have an nvidia GeForce 7950GT that won't work properly with 12.10 64bit.  It works in 32bit though.  No matter if I use recommended or latest nvndia drivers.  The symptoms are lo-res colour(like 16bit) and a larger desktop than the montior allows..I checked overscan properties and it is greyed out under nvidia settings...any help appreciated
[20:03] <geck00> neurochrome, sorry 12.04
[20:03] <neurochrome> geck00, please don't flood the can... be patient
[20:03] <neurochrome> chan*
[20:03] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  what kernel modules should i have?
[20:03] <geck00> neurochrome, i realize...but another person offering to help thinks its something else.
[20:03] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  i believe the problem lives there
[20:03] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: ok, you've given me two different instructions, one to hold shift and reboot and one to try REISUB -- which do you want me to do first?
[20:03] <DelGs> std0s, yo do you think you can help me?
[20:03] <MerlynKorr> there may be issues with restricted drivers as ell.
[20:03] <Carroarmato0> ismarc_netbook: ah thanks, was getting worried something bad was installed, first time I ever seen that process
[20:04] <MerlynKorr> well*
[20:04] <geck00> MerlynKorr, perhaps..
[20:04] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  this morning whas playing nice, untill i reboot and then  nothing
[20:04] <geck00> MerlynKorr, its such a strange problem im not even sure how to accurately describe it
[20:04] <geck00> i might have to hit the forums or stack overflow
[20:04] <std0s> DelGs, can you paste the output of lspci -vv into a private msg to me
[20:04] <MerlynKorr> install restricted drivers for ubuntu at the software center.
[20:04] <ismarc_netbook> geck00: It sounds like in 32 bit mode it's using the right driver but using the vesa driver in 64 bit mode
[20:04] <geck00> MerlynKorr, i tried that already
[20:05] <BrixMix> ok one sec MerlynKorr
[20:05] <rfictus> a good firewall for ubuntu
[20:05] <rfictus> ??
[20:05] <geck00> ismarc_netbook, ok.  ill have to check the forums to see if others have this issue
[20:05] <geck00> rfictus, gufw
[20:05] <ThinkT510> !firewall | rfictus
[20:05] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: crap.  i didnt read carefully.  shutdown without reisub.  damn.  gnna try booting with shift now
[20:06] <MirkoKa> geck00: oops! sorry, my reply was mean to got to "tjf", nevermind
[20:06] <Carroarmato0> Is it possible that Network Manager plays DNS server in 12.04 on localhost? Or did I do something wrong?
[20:06] <grnt> DelGs: what is your wireless card?
[20:06] <Buduk> when i add to /etc/pam.d/common-account the line: account required pam_mkhomedir.so umask=0022 skel=/etc/skel i cannot login due. and receive the error: "Module is unkown" this error also appears on running cron jobs. am I missing a library or somthing else ?
[20:06] <grnt> USB dongle or PCI
[20:06] <box> how do i list disks in terminal?
[20:06] <Buduk> box: fdisk -l
[20:06] <grnt> box: blkid?
[20:06] <tjf> MirkoKa: which reply?
[20:07] <escott> box, /proc/partitions
[20:07] <Jordan_U> mikubuntu: You're fine, ext4 is designed to take hard resets without data loss.
[20:08] <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
[20:09] <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
[20:10] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: do you mean highest number or highest position on list?
[20:11] <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] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  i only have restricted-extras
[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
[20:12] <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?
[20:13] <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
[20:14] <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.
[20:15] <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?
[20:16] <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.
[20:17] <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
[20:18] <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
[20:19] <cerber48> Hey guys, I could use some input on networking here
[20:19] <DelGs> Hey i'm on a MacBookPro 8,1 and i can't get my wireless card to work i'm on 12.04 could anybody help me?
[20:19] <Logan_> !please | freebird
[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
[20:20] <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] <grnt> People, what are recommended command like e-mail clients?
[20:20] <cerber48> I've used IP passthrough for my Ubuntu box and no longer can see the share list on Windows box.
[20:20] <freebird> that's what I need to know neurochrome
[20:20] <cerber48> does anyone have a clue how to remedy this ?
[20:20] <DelGs> Could anybody show me how to setup my wireless card drivers for ubuntu 12.04 i'm on a macbook pro 8,1
[20:20] <austinallen> Hello fellow Ubuntuists!
[20:20] <cerber48> hey
[20:20] <neurochrome> freebird, have you tried editing your xorg.conf?
[20:20] <freebird> neurochrome, there is no xorg.conf in here
[20:21] <FabioS> hi, i'm new around here but could you help me out? I've recently switched from windows to UBUNTU and the only big problem I have is that I can't read the pictures from my SD card nor can I plug my canon 500d to the PC cause it just doens't recognise the camera so I can't try to manually mount something it's not there. any one knows something about this?
[20:21] <tjf> it's alt+right click
[20:21] <freebird> neurochrome, when I try to create, next reboot, things wont show up, do you know where I can find a good xorg.config for me ?
[20:21] <BrixMix> i still need some help on sound :(
[20:22] <DaZ> FabioS: if windows recognized is as normal mass storage, linux should too
[20:22] <FabioS> I guess so but I never had problems in windows
[20:22] <MerlynKorr> me too brixmix
[20:22] <joemppe> ubuntu has got to be the most imaginative nick ever
[20:22] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  what is your soundcard?
[20:22] <neurochrome> freebird, afraid not, but have you tried generating one? http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/create-a-xorgconf-file.html
[20:23] <DaZ> FabioS: unplug it, plug it back in and paste dmesg output to that paste thingie in the topic :f
[20:23] <krababbel> FabioS: is the camera set as ptp or mass storage?
[20:23] <cerber48> still need some help sorting out Win 7 share access here :(
[20:23] <BrixMix> cerber48:  what u want?
[20:24] <krababbel> FabioS: also darktable may support usb tethering with your model
[20:24] <osse> It seems I can change to any keyboard layout except my own :(
[20:24] <MirkoKa> grnt: never used one (got internet late in my life), but try alpine and search the package manager for others
[20:24] <adrian15> I need stock /etc/sudoers for most of Ubuntu distributions. packages.ubuntu.com only shows 8.04, 10.04 and upper packages. Do you have any snapshot.debian.org equivalent? Or sudo expert around here that knows if stock sudoers is the same or not on several ubuntu distros? Thank you.
[20:24] <FabioS> it doesn't let me set that I've been reading the mannual and the only thing there about conecting the camera to a PC suposes the use of the manufacturer software
[20:24] <cerber48> I've switched to IP Passthrough on my Ubuntu box and can no longer see my home networked Win 7 box
[20:25] <FabioS> sorry I just didn't understand what is "darktable"?
[20:25] <MerlynKorr> i have no idea brixmix
[20:25] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  lspci plz
[20:25] <krababbel> FabioS: it's a good software for raw, like lightroom
[20:25] <FabioS> about the dmesg it's just a moment
[20:26] <MerlynKorr> ?
[20:26] <grnt> MirkoKa: I already tried mutt. It's fine but I asked just in case. Thunderbird is way too bloated
[20:26] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  run this in the console "lspci" and then paste.ubuntu-cp,
[20:26] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  paste.ubuntu.com
[20:26] <pratz> hey guys how can i compress a music directory with ffmpeg ??
[20:26] <grnt> pratz: yes
[20:26] <pratz> grnt: how can i compress a auido directory ?
[20:26] <DaZ> pratz: combining it with find
[20:26] <pratz> grnt: ffmpeg -i inputfile.mp3 -ab 128 outputfile.mp3
[20:27] <MirkoKa> adrian15: IIRC, /etc/sudoers differs betwenn some ubuntu versions. i think there was a topic some days ago about different sudo-for-main-user groups
[20:27] <pratz> grnt: what will be the command to compress entire directory ??
[20:27] <MerlynKorr> lspci paste.ubuntu.com
[20:27] <freebird> neurochrome, please, someone told me I can find out the correct driver for me, if I have the number:id, something like that, how do I go about that mine number:id for the graphic card is: 8086:a011
[20:27] <Jordan_U> adrian15:
[20:27] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  run in shell / terminal lspci and then paste the content to that site :p
[20:27] <gcmx> hello
[20:28] <DelGs> could someone help me with installing my wireless card driver
[20:28] <grnt> pratz: i don't know if ffmpeg supports wildcards but you can just make a small shell script which will run ffmpeg on every mp3 in given directory
[20:28] <grnt> pratz: btw, do not recompress mp3s
[20:28] <escott> grnt, just write a bash script
[20:28] <nperry> !wireless | DelGs
[20:28] <DaZ> for x in *.mp3;do something to $x; done
[20:28] <neurochrome> freebird, yeah, your card is VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:a011] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
[20:28] <Jordan_U> adrian15: I can't remember any changes in the concept that anyone who is in the "admin" group could use sudo (after entering their own user's password). What is your end goal?
[20:28] <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.
[20:29] <adrian15> Jordan_U: You have deleted /etc/sudoers file. I rewrite it for you.
[20:29] <grnt> DelGs: what's your wireless card?
[20:29] <MirkoKa> Jordan_U: on 10.04 it's the "sudo", not the "admin" group
[20:29] <freebird> neurochrome, and I should seek for n10 family integrated graphics controller ?
[20:29] <nperry> !pm | DelGs
[20:29] <Jordan_U> adrian15: Use the one from the dpkg package on the user's system then.
[20:29] <DelGs> My card is a Broadcom BCM 4331
[20:30] <Lmce> !broadcom | DelGs
[20:30] <adrian15> Jordan_U: So I have to detect Ubuntu version and write the stock sudoers file. But how to find it 08.10 if the package is not found in packages.ubuntu.com ? Or what about 07.04 ?
[20:31] <grnt> DelGs: you sure you need driver? Does you wireless (e.g. wlan0) shows up in iwconfig?
[20:31] <DelGs> grnt, when i hit the connection buttons it says that it's missing firmware
[20:31] <Lmce> !broadcom | DelGs
[20:31] <DelGs> grnt, plus that link for bcm43xx doesnt show 4331 wich is mine
[20:31] <FabioS> the dmesg in here git://gist.github.com/2521795.git
[20:32] <DelGs> Lmce, mine's not there
[20:32] <grnt> DelGs: is iwconfig blank? Just to be sure.
[20:32] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: couldn't shut down with reisub, i'll have to shutdown with power button -- then i get some term output which stays up for a few seconds before screen goes black
[20:32] <DelGs> grnt, what is iwconfig
[20:32] <grnt> issue this command in terminal
[20:32] <MirkoKa> Jordan_U, adrian15 scratch my comment about sudo vs. admin, seems I had added a similar line for "sudo" (don't know why)?
[20:32] <MerlynKorr> that brixmix would be risky bizzness lol
[20:33] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  what?
[20:33] <DelGs> delgiudice@MacBookPro:~$ iwconfig
[20:33] <DelGs> lo        no wireless extensions.
[20:33] <DelGs> wlan0     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:off/any
[20:33] <DelGs>           Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=0 dBm
[20:33] <DelGs>           Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
[20:33] <FloodBot1> DelGs: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:33] <Lmce> DelGs: Then it is not supported.
[20:33] <DelGs>           Power Management:on
[20:33] <MerlynKorr> brixmix i have a few colored expletives loaded for that...lol
[20:33] <desoda> .
[20:33] <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?
[20:34] <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] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  i was trying to help you. You dont whant ok...
[20:34] <adrian15> Jordan_U: What does happen if the user has issued "apt-get clean" ?
[20:34] <Jordan_U> adrian15: Good point :)
[20:34] <Maya> What can I do to tweak Unity's "Lock Screen" button? I need to change the command it uses to screen lock.
[20:34] <grnt> DelGs: does your wifi network use WPA2?
[20:34] <MerlynKorr> brixmix im not going to put all that busness on the street ...lol
[20:34] <DelGs> it's not about wifi network , i cant find any wifi
[20:35] <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] <BrixMix> MerlynKorr:  ok that is your call :)
[20:35] <guakkione> Hi! I've no more space in my / partition. What can I remove? the directory LOST+FOUND is really big, what does it contain???
[20:35] <adrian15> Jordan_U: I don't like to carry data with Rescatux if I can get it from the installed system but with this option I will do an exception.
[20:35] <DelGs> grnt: It's not about wifi network , i cant find any wifi because it says device is not ready
[20:35] <grnt> DelGs: i know
[20:35] <escott> guakkione, lost+found contains file fragments from a recovered fs
[20:35] <grnt> DelGs: I need to know your setup to help
[20:36] <osse> The layout issue fixed itself for no apparent reason (I hate it when that happens :P)
[20:36] <FabioS> krababbel i'll give it a look
[20:36] <DelGs> grnt: oh my wifi is wpa yeah
[20:36] <adrian15> Jordan_U: The sudoers fix option will also take of care then.
[20:36] <neurochrome> is there any way to permanently show the global menu?
[20:36] <troulouliou_dev> Hi i ve upgrade to 12.04 , i m using gnome2 and i do not have the menu bar with close / min / max button for all windows
[20:36] <DelGs> grnt: http://homepage.uibk.ac.at/~c705283/archives/2011/09/04/linux_support_for_broadcom_4331_wireless_chip_macbook_pro_81/index.html   this link might help you understand ( i dont understand it )
[20:36] <adrian15> Jordan_U: *take care of it then
[20:37] <guakkione> escott: "from a recovered" filesystem? which file system?
[20:37] <grnt> DelGs: try ifconfig wlan0 up, and iwlist scan
[20:37] <neurochrome> troulouliou_dev, have you hovered over the top panel?
[20:37] <escott> guakkione, if you had a corrupted filesystem as some point (hard reset or system crash) and had to run fsck
[20:37] <grnt> DelGs: in terminal as super user.
[20:37] <troulouliou_dev> neurochrome, what do you mean ?
[20:37] <guakkione> aaaaaaaaaaah
[20:37] <neurochrome> troulouliou_dev, I mean the menu is now at the top left of your screen
[20:37] <DelGs> grnt: tried but it doesnt let me scan network is down
[20:38] <neurochrome> hidden
[20:38] <DelGs> grnt: that's what it returned
[20:38] <escott> guakkione, http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/lostfound.html
[20:38] <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
[20:39] <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] <FabioS> TI did plug it back
[20:39] <DelGs> grnt: yes , did you check the link i sent?
[20:39] <FabioS> the thing is I can't see it anywhere
[20:39] <DaZ> FabioS: try mounting /dev/sdd1 manually :f
[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] <Stereocaulon> guakkione, *not* the directory mind you, only the contents
[20:39] <trk77_> mmmnn
[20:39] <freebird> neurochrome, there's no xorg config in here, so I'm installing xserver-xorg-dev
[20:39] <troulouliou_dev> neurochrome, no gnome classic (no effect) metacity with gnome-panel i guess
[20:39] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: couldn't shut down with reisub, i'll have to shutdown with power button -- then i get some term output which stays up for a few seconds before screen goes black ... are you still with me
[20:39] <FabioS> could you help me doing that? I know we can do that but I never tried it
[20:40] <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] <zykotick9> freebird: xorg.conf needs to be created, installing stuff won't create it
[20:40] <Jordan_U> mikubuntu: So you still get a black screen from the recovery mode entry?
[20:40] <DelGs> grnt: give me a second
[20:40] <neurochrome> troulouliou_dev, remove the appmenu indicator and restart
[20:40] <neurochrome> freebird, why are you installing the dev package?
[20:40] <DelGs> grnt: http://bit.ly/rd94aA
[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?
[20:41] <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] <DaZ> FabioS: mkdir ~/mnt;sudo mount /dev/sdd1 ~/mnt
[20:41] <neurochrome> freebird, read this > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config
[20:41] <DelGs> grnt: thanks
[20:42] <MirkoKa> grnt: regarding the copy/paste, try gpm (mouse in the console) or screen (allowes select/copy/paste in the console)
[20:42] <adrian15> Jordan_U: Yes, it should.
[20:42] <FabioS> DaZ: just a moment then
[20:42] <freebird> neurochrome,  I want to xorgconfig, how do I do that ?
[20:43] <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?
[20:44] <uzf> ok, screen issue was with my monitor, no ubuntu bug
[20:44] <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] <Thundar> anyone been able to run Desktop Cube through compiz with unity on 12.04?
[20:44] <Stereocaulon> uzf, the OS or the flash plugin?
[20:44] <troulouliou_dev> is it normal that in 12.04 the ambiance them  in gnome classic is white/ grey and not black anymore ?
[20:45] <uzf> the windowmanager actually crashed
[20:45] <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.
[20:46] <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
[20:47] <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)
[20:48] <escott> !mbp | RichardRaseley
[20:48] <FabioS> the card is 4gb
[20:48] <DaZ> wat
[20:48] <grnt> DelGs: you got the module but it can happen you still need the firmware
[20:48] <escott> !macbook | RichardRaseley
[20:48] <RichardRaseley> Stereocaulon: I have done some searching already (hence my asking here) but I will try some more.
[20:48] <uzf> went from 10.04 to 12.04 without any problems really, first time in years the dist update has actually worked
[20:48] <grnt> DelGs: in case if it's not included (which is strange)
[20:48] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: i have grub menu onscreen, don't know if you want me to (e) edit generic or recovery entry to set 'nomodeset'
[20:48] <krababbel> FabioS: seems it really is not supporting that mode
[20:48] <DaZ> FabioS: then, linux doesn't see anything
[20:48] <grnt> DelGs: give me a sec
[20:48] <RichardRaseley> ubottu: Thank you for that information
[20:48] <DelGs> grnt: sure.
[20:48] <zykotick9> mikubuntu: the generic one.  (NOT recovery)
[20:48] <RichardRaseley> Heh
[20:48] <mardek_treya> Buenas!!!
[20:49] <uzf> even my nVidia card is working without having to screw around with it
[20:49] <mardek_treya> alguien me puede ayudar con wammu?
[20:49] <Stereocaulon> RichardRaseley, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1737086&page=3
[20:49] <DaZ> sorry for making you do stuff, though the last device was your camera :f
[20:50] <FabioS> :( the new dmesg git://gist.github.com/2521932.git
[20:50] <mardek_treya> hola, alguien me puede ayudar a sincronizar mi cel con wammu?
[20:50] <MirkoKa> !portuguese | mardek_treya
[20:50] <Stereocaulon> RichardRaseley, I know it's not a description for the Macbook Pro, but that thread contains some general techniques that might help you
[20:50] <LjL> !es | mardek_treya
[20:50] <RichardRaseley> Hmm.. I don't see anything on that page that is specific to my issue - but I will keep looking around, thanks.
[20:50] <FabioS> no prob you tried and I thank you
[20:50] <RichardRaseley> Stereocaulon: Thanks for your help
[20:51] <grnt> DelGs: see on that page, where it says "Extract the firmware". This is it. I'm trying to understand what it means. Ususally you just copy firmware to /lib/firmware. That guide however includes some cryptic bs
[20:51] <sloshmud> (8:46:26) me: 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?
[20:51] <guakkione> escott, Stereocaulon: Which is the command to show the free space in sdaX
[20:51] <escott> guakkione, df -h for most filesystems
[20:51] <krababbel> FabioS: http://gphoto.sourceforge.net/proj/libgphoto2/support.php Darktable should see it in tethering mode
[20:51] <rfictus> microphone not working..
[20:52] <krababbel> FabioS: 400D was actually tested with dt
[20:52] <Stereocaulon> guakkione, try df
[20:52] <FabioS> i'll give it a try then
[20:52] <DelGs> grnt: i see so what exactly should i do , im really sorry i dont know much about linux
[20:52] <FabioS> thanks
[20:52] <grnt> DelGs: ok, do you have the firmware file already? It's name is in the first line with tar command
[20:52] <FabioS> I'll report in moments
[20:53] <Stereocaulon> guakkione, df -h will give you the amount of free space in human readable units
[20:53] <Jordan_U> sloshmud: That's a good question. I'm not sure why, but I think it's probably more likely to be answered if you ask at http://askubuntu.com .
[20:54] <zykotick9> guakkione: you can use grep/egrep to reduce output like "df -h | grep sda" or if you want the title line: df -h | egrep "(Size|sda)"
[20:54] <THEJUICEBOX> can i get apps on my desktop example a analog clock
[20:54] <grnt> DelGs: broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2
[20:54] <Stereocaulon> Are there any non-unity related caveats when upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04? ( I run a LXDE desktop)

[20:54] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled  ... is the line that appears right before mikubuntu-laptop login
[20:55] <Stereocaulon> !desklets | THEJUICEBOX
[20:55] <MirkoKa> sloshmud: or even better ask the Family Farm people. didn't you get some kind of license key?
[20:55] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: i assume you want me to put my password at the term prompt?
[20:55] <THEJUICEBOX> Stereocaulon: yes
[20:55] <sloshmud> JordanU thanks
[20:55] <Stereocaulon> !widgets | THEJUICEBOX

[20:56] <DelGs> grnt: ok i just downloaded what do i do now
[20:56] <sloshmud> MirkoK no afraid not - it all went via the software centre
[20:56] <guakkione> ok.. now, if I wanna paste you the output of the command (cause there's something strange)...? sorry if I'm boring, I need that command to auto-pastebin
[20:56] <Stereocaulon> THEJUICEBOX, http://askubuntu.com/questions/38830/does-unity-have-any-widgets
[20:56] <zykotick9> !pastebinit | guakkione
[20:56] <guakkione> fine

[20:57] <aaas> how do i customize one of the buttons on the unity launcher to run gksudo before it runs the program?
[20:57] <grnt> DelGs: first, to make sure, issue find /lib/firmware | grep wl_apsta
[20:58] <nperry> aaas, not sure why you want to do that but you need to edit the .desktop of the application in /usr/share/applications
[20:58] <gcmx> hey there.. I'm trying to install chatzilla in firefox 12 in ubuntu 12.04 but my search only returns the language packs. any reason why?
[20:58] <DelGs> it returned nothing
[20:59] <magicJ> I have a system that when booted auto-connects to the router perfectly, the config says to auto-connect.  Yet if the router is re-booted it does not re-connect.  Any ideas?
[20:59] <DelGs> grnt: it returned nothing i pasted "find /lib/firmware | grep wl_apsta"
[20:59] <Jordan_U> mikubuntu: If there is a username and password prompt then yes, enter your username, then hit Enter, then enter your password.
[20:59] <grnt> DelGs: ok, so the firmware really doesn't seem to be there
[20:59] <aaas> nperry i dont see the name of the executable/command in that file
[20:59] <sfears> gcmx: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chatzilla/

[20:59] <guakkione> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/953563/ escott Stereocaulon
[20:59] <aaas> nperry isnt there a way to change this on a per-user basis
[20:59] <gcmx> thanks sfears :)
[20:59] <grnt> DelGs: now get the b43-fwcutter thingy. From what I understand it is used to install the firmware
[21:00] <Stereocaulon> Are there any non-unity related caveats when upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04? ( I run a LXDE desktop)
[21:00] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: ok, i am signed into fullscreen terminal with the screenprompt: mikubuntu@mikubuntu-laptop: $_
[21:00] <Alex[sp3dev]> hi guys. anyone here using vgaswitcheroo and noticed a 10w increase in power consumption after suspend?

[21:00] <grnt> DelGs: b43-fwcutter-015.tar.bz2
[21:00] <FabioS> Darktable doesn't detect any device :(
[21:00] <krababbel> FabioS: you might want to ask in #darktable
[21:00] <DelGs> just downloaded it
[21:01] <DelGs> grnt: i've downloaded both and extracted them what now
[21:01] <krababbel> my camera is not supported for tethering
[21:01] <ejv> What are the steps to create a metadata image of an XFS filesystem, and then convert that into a format so that i can test run a xfs_repair operation?
[21:01] <mgaunard> is it normal that transparent icons in gnome-panel appear to be a white background instead of the ubuntu dark gray?
[21:01] <grnt> DelGs: cd b43-fwcutter-015, make
[21:01] <fatfreddyscat> hey all
[21:01] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled  ... is the line that appeared b4 the login prompt, is it significant?
[21:01] <Jordan_U> mikubuntu: OK, it seems that nomodeset gave us a little progress so lets start by making that permanent.
[21:01] <FabioS> I'll do almost anything to get this working I really need it
[21:01] <magicJ> sfears: ok - but why - I really want to understand the problem rather than work-around it
[21:01] <OptimizedCoder> I mounted a network share long time ago to a specific folder. Now I don't even have that folder mapped in my /etc/fstab. However, when I do sudo mount -a, along with other things. That gets mounted too. Any way to check where this is getting mounted from if it does not exist in /etc/fsatb
[21:01] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: ok
[21:02] <MirkoKa> aaas: on 10.04, there is a .local/share/applications/ directory, maybe it's there on 12.04 too and could "overwrite" the system-wide file, but I don't know
[21:02] <sfears> magicJ: do you have another router? it may be a problem with the router.
[21:02] <DelGs> k done
[21:02] <DelGs> grnt: kay done, what now
[21:02] <grnt> DelGs: now there should be executable made, issue ls to check it
[21:02] <Jordan_U> mikubuntu: Are you familiar with the terminal based text editor "nano"?
[21:03] <aaas> MirkoKa I bet you're right,, probably it has priority over system, havnent found it yet but it's probably there
[21:03] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: a little
[21:03] <DelGs> grnt: i suppose is a green named b43-fwcutter
[21:03] <jtr> <3 12.04
[21:03] <grnt> DelGs: now proceed with next 4 commands, assuming you extracted firmware file near this "cutter" stuff.
[21:03] <grnt> DelGs: yes, it is
[21:03] <Alex[sp3dev]> ok, if anyone's using switcheroo and has problems, please test http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133564613023290&w=2 and let me know
[21:04] <zykotick9> !repeat > Alex[sp3dev]
[21:04] <DelGs> grnt: umm well the cutter stuff is in one folder and the firmware is in another
[21:04] <Jordan_U> mikubuntu: OK. Run "sudo nano /etc/default/grub" and change the line containing GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset" then save and exit nano.
[21:04] <kenperkins> ok stupid question, is there a way to opt out CRON auth from auth.log?
[21:05] <DelGs> grnt: what 4 commands
[21:05] <Propuls1on> Could someone help me with xpdf?
[21:05] <grnt> DelGs: I just checked page again and it doesn't matter. Firmware archive however must be in one folder up
[21:05] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: so enter sudo nano /etc/default/grub into the terminal and hope that nano opens up?
[21:05] <Jordan_U> mikubuntu: Yes.
[21:05] <DelGs> grnt: what command i do then
[21:06] <sfears> hope... cute
[21:06] <THEJUICEBOX> is opera browser available for Ubuntu?
[21:06] <grnt> DelGs: now, staying in current directory issue tar xf ../broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2
[21:06] <ThinkT510> THEJUICEBOX: yes
[21:06] <guakkione> Stereocaulon, escott I've just seen that LOST+FOUND's last modifies come from the far 2010. I rm it?
[21:07] <rfictus> my microphone is not detected in 12.04..
[21:07] <Stereocaulon> guakkione, as said before, if you don't miss anything important from that period, it's safe to delete it
[21:07] <DelGs> i already had it extracted
[21:07] <MirkoKa> kenperkins: pretty surely yes, with some rlogsys configuration. why do you want that?
[21:07] <guakkione> ok
[21:07] <DelGs> grnt: i already had it extracted what now
[21:07] <rfictus> help, my microphone is not detected in 12.04..
[21:07] <grnt> DelGs: you did extract it (probably) in wrong place
[21:07] <anternat> hello is there a file manager that i can use for my server 10.04
[21:07] <kenperkins> MirkoKa: I have cron jobs running every minute, and they spam my auth.log file making it difficult to differentiate the real sshd auths
 oh to install?
[21:08] <grnt> DelGs: just issue it again from your current dir, where you compiled cutter
[21:08] <zykotick9> anternat: mc ;)
[21:08] <Stereocaulon> rfictus, what kind of microphone do you use? jack/ USB?
[21:08] <ThinkT510> THEJUICEBOX: get it from their website
[21:08] <aaas> MirkoKa nperry lots of info here, thanks: http://askubuntu.com/questions/35488/what-custom-launchers-and-unity-quicklists-are-available
[21:08] <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 = ""
[21:09] <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] <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
[21:10] <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?
[21:11] <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
[21:12] <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 ?
[21:13] <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] <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?
[21:14] <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.
 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?
[21:15] <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
[21:16] <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
[21:17] <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?
[21:18] <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
[21:19] <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
[21:20] <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] <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.
[21:21] <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
[21:22] <DelG> grnt: i'm not DelGs anymore is DelG now
[21:22] <The_Loko> foobArrr	it'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
[21:23] <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?
[21:24] <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] <zykotick9> !xampp | DelG
[21:25] <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?
[21:26] <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] <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
[21:27] <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] <DelG> grnt: what is python for? i dont really understand
[21:27] <chester> soy nuevo usuario
[21:27] <whoever> 3.5.11
[21:27] <DelG> grnt: Isn't PHP for web only?
[21:28] <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
[21:29] <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.
[21:30] <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
[21:31] <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
[21:32] <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
[21:33] <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!
[21:34] <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.
[21:35] <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
[21:36] <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
[21:37] <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
[21:38] <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
[21:39] <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
[21:40] <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] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: back to terminal prompt, i tried ctrl alt f7 and 8 to no avail towards gui
[21:41] <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.
[21:42] <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] <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...
[21:43] <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?
[21:44] <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] <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
[21:45] <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
[21:46] <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"
[21:47] <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?
[21:48] <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
[21:49] <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
[21:50] <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] <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.
[21:51] <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
[21:52] <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
[21:53] <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
[21:54] <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] <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
[21:55] <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?
[21:56] <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?
[21:57] <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?
[21:57] <christhisisgool> mouth1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountIso
[21:58] <littlegirl> Hey there, my son 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.
[21:58] <christhisisgool> gartral: i may be a bit rusty, but i think when you are doing a dpkg install, install it with the option --instdir=<otherdirectory>
[21:58] <RKyle> Hi, it has been awhile since I have used Ubuntu the last one being one that doesn't have the side bar I disabled something with the Compiz settings manager to make my computer faster and now when I login there is nothing.
[21:59] <gartral> christhisisgool: awesome! and how about with apt-get?
[21:59] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: last lines of output :: Fetching the upgrade failed.  There may be a network problem.
[21:59] <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] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: wireless
[22:00] <gartral> MirkoKa: Have you ever tried too compile ANYTHING on an ATOM 1ghz cpu?
[22:00] <Jordan_U> mikubuntu: Can you connect via wired instead?
[22:00] <gartral> pain and suffer ensues.
[22:00] <christhisisgool> gartral: well, that kinda puts you out of  business, in a since. however, i do have one suggestion: use two tools: rpm2targz and then an rpm file
[22:00] <MirkoKa> gartral: heck! i compiled the full kernel on a 386 machine back in '97!
[22:00] <mikubuntu> Jordan_U: yes, have to find a wire --- thx for all your help if i lose you
[22:00] <MirkoKa> gartral: ;-)
[22:01] <AngrySpam> is 12.04LTS official or still in beta
[22:01] <yeats> AngrySpam: it's out as of Thursday
[22:01] <gmachine_24> Let's say a folder is titled 3812.zip is there a way to create a folder called 3812 using a script? Or must I type in the 3812 (or other name) every time?
[22:01] <Vishaal> hey can i ask you guys some questions about reformatting and moving to ubuntu
[22:01] <AngrySpam> yeats: thanks - ima install ;)
[22:01] <christhisisgool> gartral: to use it, you type rpm2targz *file* then copy the files that you extract from the targz into whatever directory you want
[22:01] <gmachine_24> I mean, as part of the unzip process
[22:02] <RKyle> Would anyone happen to know how to fix this?
[22:02] <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.
[22:02] <Stereocaulon> Vishaal, do yu want to know anything i particular? What is your goal?
[22:02] <coctra> good morning
[22:02] <Stereocaulon> Vishaal i => in
[22:02] <Vishaal> my mom's old netbook has become very bogged down from windows 7 with all the freeware and stuff so I was thinking about reformatting and putting ubuntu on it
[22:02] <Vishaal> i've seen the windows installer and that seems like it is a dual boot thing
[22:03] <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?
[22:04] <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.
[22:05] <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???
[22:06] <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,
[22:07] <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
[22:08] <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"
[22:09] <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] <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?
[22:10] <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
[22:11] <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. (:
[22:12] <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...
[22:13] <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.
[22:14] <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
[22:15] <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.
[22:16] <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] <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
[22:17] <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.
[22:18] <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] <Viking667> fabrizio: hablo inglese....?
[22:19] <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.
[22:20] <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.
[22:21] <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
[22:22] <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
[22:23] <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}
[22:24] <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
[22:25] <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?
[22:26] <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
[22:27] <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.
[22:28] <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.
[22:29] <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
[22:30] <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)
[22:31] <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
[22:32] <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] <Sna4x8> Can anyone help me diagnose this problem?
[22:32] <rencie> I just installed ubunbtu 12.04: oddly when i try mounting a vfat partition, the mount point changes ownership from root to the
[22:32] <rencie> UID 1000
[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
[22:33] <robertzaccour> MirkoKa, lspci | grep Audio
[22:33] <robertzaccour> 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
[22:33] <freebird> L3top, man, crazyy, when I run X -configure It hangs in the end of the operation and it says: failled to load module "vmwgfx" ubuntu module does not exist
[22:33] <koffel> hey all
[22:34] <freebird> L3top, sudo of course
[22:34] <koffel> to have outside internet connection on dhcp server do u need to link iptables?
[22:34] <L3top> freebird: dont worry about that... ls /root   see if you have an xorg.conf.new
[22:35] <L3top> freebird: assuming you do, cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11
[22:35] <L3top> wait
[22:35] <L3top> freebird: assuming you do, cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:35] <Lirth> grnt: I just tried booting normally and after it had the blinky underscore, it changed to say
[22:35] <Lirth> "mountall: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /lib/libply.so.2)
[22:35] <Lirth> General error mounting filesystems."
[22:35] <Lirth> Is that from the gpu?
[22:35] <freebird> L3top, /root ??
[22:35] <freebird> L3top, you mkean /myuser ?
[22:35] <L3top> I mean /root
[22:36] <freebird> L3top, can't acess that
[22:36] <L3top> sudo
[22:36] <grnt> Lirth: no it's not
[22:36] <freebird> L3top, sudo cd /root
[22:36] <freebird> L3top, command not found
[22:36] <Lirth> grnt: Any idea how to fix that then?
[22:36] <will3032840> Lirth, I think you may need to reinstall. that happened to me once. I had to reinstall. but if you really need to get the data, try asking someone else.
[22:36] <L3top> freebird: sudo -s
[22:36] <L3top> ls /root
[22:36] <Lirth> will3032840: Does that make me lose my programs?
[22:37] <grnt> Lirth: libc is C Library. That's some kind of trouble you got there if it cannot load C lib (required by everything)
[22:37] <will3032840> Yeah, just ask someone else if you need to recover the data.
[22:37] <L3top> freebird: assuming it is there, cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:37] <nannes> Hi all! :) I'm in a lake of s**t, my disk is full and I can't even start Xserver. I need the parameters for apt to show me the list of installed packages, starting from the most big and going less&less
[22:37] <freebird> L3top, it's not
[22:37] <Lirth> grnt: I did have to reboot because my computer crashed when upgrading
[22:37] <freebird> because when I run the Xorg --configure, it says it failled and that it's giving up
[22:37] <freebird> L3top,
[22:38] <L3top> freebird:  :(  is desktop manager up now?
[22:38] <freebird> L3top, when I try I'm first service gdm stop,
[22:38] <grnt> Lirth: Don't know how upgrade could mess this up. Maybe you just try to reinstall?
[22:38] <freebird> and trying that
[22:38] <rencie> would any one know why when i try mounting a partition with sudo mount (as userid 1001), the mount point changes ownership from root to the user with UID 1000
[22:38] <Lirth> grnt: Know if that'll remove my programs?
[22:38] <grnt> Lirth: By default open source NVIDIA driver will be installed
[22:38] <freebird> L3top, desktop manager ?
[22:38] <freebird> yes,
[22:38] <will3032840> nannes, dpkg --get-selections to list all packages, or find help online.
[22:39] <grnt> Lirth: it will
[22:39] <Lirth> grnt: Fun
[22:39] <L3top> freebird: Lets start over. Are you talking to me on the machine we are working on?
[22:39] <will3032840> I think that's it
[22:39] <will3032840> let me tryt
[22:39] <freebird> L3top, man, I can see the xorg.conf.new
[22:39] <Lirth> grnt: If I boot with a live cd, will it let me see what I have installed?
[22:40] <freebird> L3top, it's in /home
[22:40] <HoNgOuRu> hi to all
[22:40] <will3032840> Hello :D
[22:40] <grnt> Lirth: from live cd you will be able to backup your home dir
[22:40] <freebird> L3top, /home/user
[22:40] <L3top> freebird... great... cp it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:40] <L3top> freebird: reboot
[22:40] <SafariMonkey> Hello all!
[22:40] <grnt> Lirth: also, you will be able to explore contents of all you hard drives
[22:40] <L3top> freebird: I do everything as root. I forget to give people commands with sudo... sorry
[22:41] <grnt> Lirth: why do you care for apps?
[22:41] <grnt> yeats: it's a 5-minute deal to reinstall them using apt-get
[22:41] <grnt> Lirth: home directory is all that matters
[22:41] <kasii> i need a help on this http://imagebin.org/210172
[22:42] <kasii> i need a help on this http://imagebin.org/210172
[22:42] <Lirth> grnt: How do back up my home directory?
[22:42] <will3032840> woah kasii, that's pretty corrupt.
[22:42] <Lirth> grnt: without an external drive
[22:43] <grnt> Lirth: just copy it on usb stick for example
[22:43] <Lirth> grnt: I have nearly 100gb of data
[22:43] <OerHeks> kasii looks like a hdd crash
[22:43] <cincinnatus> I burned an image of Precise Pangolin, and I tried to install it on a Dell XPS desktop. The installer keeps hanging or crashing in parted_server. Is that a known issue on some systems?
[22:43] <grnt> Lirth: or copy it to another hdd in your system (if you have one)
[22:44] <MirkoKa> robertzaccour: didn't found anything useful, that's brand new hardware, right? try the forums (also the alsa/pulseaudio ones). sorry
[22:44] <Lirth> grnt: Don't have one of those
[22:44] <robertzaccour> MirkoKa, its ok thanks
[22:44] <grnt> Lirth: this is bad, next time you install make a separate partition for /home
[22:44] <captainjamie> My login screen doesn't have my wallpaper. They're all just the default one. Is this normal, do I need to activate it somehow?
[22:44] <will3032840> gtg... bye!
[22:45] <Jordan_U> grnt: Lirth: You do *not* need to have /home/ on a separate partition to have it preserved during an Ubuntu re-install.
[22:45] <robertzaccour> I'm trying to record the audio from my webcam with ffmpet and the screen. the screen records fine, but the audio records from my internal mic. with this input "ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -r 30 -s 1366x768 -f x11grab -i :0.0 -vcodec msmpeg4v2 -qscale 2 screencast.avi" how would I adjust it accordingly to record from the webcam mic instead of the internal?
[22:45] <Lirth> Jordan_U: Could you explain?
[22:46] <grnt> Jordan_U: this is some news to me
[22:46] <freebird> L3top, ok, at least this time, I rebooted and didn't blacked out
[22:46] <kasii> OerHeks, yes
[22:46] <arizona_bay> question
[22:46] <arizona_bay> is it worth updating to the new ubuntu ?
[22:46] <arizona_bay> yes / no?
[22:46] <MirkoKa> captainjamie: your wallpaper has nothing to do with the login screen. the latter is a system-wide setting.you can use GDM/LightDM themes to change that
[22:47] <Jordan_U> Lirth: grnt: http://castrojo.tumblr.com/post/1093664654/no-need-to-complicate-your-life

[22:48] <kasii> i need a help on this http://imagebin.org/210172
[22:48] <captainjamie> MirkoKa: "your wallpaper has nothing to do with the login screen" Not what I've been told... http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/lightdm-wallpaper-switching-lands-in-precise/
[22:49] <eutheria> after upgrading i've ended up with the debian grub screen
[22:49] <eutheria> is there an ubuntu styled grub page?
[22:49] <beachbuddah> Hi folks, I'm having trouble when I close the lid on my laptop and reopen it, it can't reconnect to my wireless connection - 12.04
[22:50] <[deXter]> kasii, Is it a mac?
[22:50] <Jordan_U> eutheria: There is, but it's not packaged: http://apebox.org/wordpress/linux/261/
[22:50] <OerHeks> kasii i have no experience with hfs repair
[22:51] <Jordan_U> eutheria: To simply remove the Debian background (it's not a full theme) "sudo apt-get remove desktop-base".
[22:51] <grnt> Jordan_U: from what I understood it's ubuntu-only installer feature?
[22:51] <Jordan_U> grnt: Correct.
[22:51] <eutheria> jordan, oh i will keep the debian grub page
[22:51] <grnt> Lirth: you are in luck :-)
[22:52] <Lirth> grnt: Yep
[22:52] <Lirth> grnt: I think my iso is corrupt though, so I'm redownloading it
[22:52] <grnt> Jordan_U: thanks for letting me know :-)
[22:52] <Jordan_U> Lirth: If you have a corrupt iso you can save a lot of time by redownloading only the problem parts with zsync.
[22:53] <Lirth> Jordan_U: No idea what you mean, but I've only got 9 minutes left on the download. I'll go get some food
[22:53] <grnt> Jordan_U: he could just use torrent and do a hash check
[22:54]  * z3r1n salutes
[22:54] <fleco> hey I just installed ubuntu 12.04 .. but now I am stuck @ terminal how can I boot to GUI?
[22:55] <JPeterson> i'm removing all X-related packages in 11.10, how do I remove plymouth?
[22:55] <balduin> fleco: startx
[22:55] <MrKeuner> hello, having trouble adding printer in 12.04 any help?
[22:55] <will3032840> sorry, accidentally joined.
[22:56] <Stereocaulon> MrKeuner, what make and model of Printer are you trying to connect?
[22:56] <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,
[22:57] <fleco> balduin ... tellin me I need to install xinit .. doing it now
[22:57] <Stereocaulon> !printer | MrKeuner
[22:58] <balduin> fleco: what do you want? Install a gui like gnome?
[22:58] <MrKeuner> Stereocaulon, Brother HL-2170W
[22:58] <fleco> isn't it suppose to come with unity?
[22:58] <MrKeuner> Stereocaulon, system settings/printers wouldn't work?
[22:59] <Stereocaulon> MrKeuner, http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html
[22:59] <Grivvel> I just installed 12.04 and I'm having some strangeness. 1) When I switch workspaces, I don't get an animation anymore. 2) I used to be able to press ctrl+alt+numpad6 to move a window to the right side of the scree (or the relevant side for each numpad key), but now only numpad 5 works for maximizing. Does anyone know how I'd fix these things?
[22:59] <balduin> fleco, yes but you can install what ever you want. I use cinnamon and have installaled kde, gnome-shell, gnome-classic, unity, xcfe, lxde
[22:59] <Jordan_U> MirkoKa: You need to use manual partitioning if you want to use a separate /home/ partition as well...
[23:00] <Stereocaulon> MrKeuner, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrintersBrother
[23:00] <catcherdev> I changed something in my /etc/cron.d/php5 file. Then I restarted the service. It'll pick up the changes now, right?
[23:01] <balduin> MirkoKa: and later you can auto mount your home partition on the filesystem with /etc/fstab!
[23:01] <jackman> Hi, all.
[23:01] <linuxuz3r> hi jackman
[23:02] <Stereocaulon> MrKeuner, you can also connect to cups if it's running through your browser and add the printer there, try localhost:631
[23:02] <MirkoKa> Jordan_U:  you missunderstood :-) I'm well able to partition how ever I want and configure linux to work with it. i'm not talking about me, I just disagree that a seperate /home is useless  "unless you're running multiple Linux distributions at once."
[23:02] <jackman> I am attempting to use zentyal for email/jabber/webmail, but non of the users are authenticating that i created with zentyal
[23:02] <digitalfiz> can someone help me clean up a upgrade mess?
[23:02] <digitalfiz> 12.04 messed up my mariadb install
[23:02] <jackman> digitalfiz: an upgrade mess?
[23:02] <koffel> can anyone help me get internet access on my dhcp client
[23:03] <digitalfiz> so i uninstalled it and couldn't reinstall it and now i can't even install mysql
[23:03] <Rolz> what's a good alternative to dreamweaver on Ubuntu?
[23:03] <MrKeuner> Stereocaulon, thank you. Just wondering, system settings/printers wouldn't work?
[23:03] <digitalfiz> so my site is stuck without a db lol
[23:03] <digitalfiz> Rolz: i like quanta
[23:03] <Aenigma> hi, i just installed ubuntu 12.04 and i can't seem to log in via the gui as a user but i can log in as a guest.
[23:03] <Aenigma> i can log in as the user via a console, however
[23:03] <Rolz> thanks digitalfiz, il try it=D
[23:03] <digitalfiz> jackman, i think something is out of sync as i can't install mysql
[23:04] <digitalfiz> jackman, or mariadb
[23:04] <Steve132> Is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes up to date with kubuntu?  I've downloaded kubuntu 12.04 3 different versions two times each
[23:04] <Steve132> and can't seem to get a matching checksum
[23:05] <jackman> Steve132: use torrent if you can; it'll do checksums automatically
[23:05] <Steve132> So, I did
[23:05] <Steve132> but the final iso files don't checksum correctly against anything on that page
[23:05] <freebird> L3top, solved man, tks
[23:05] <Jordan_U> Steve132: What md5sum are you getting? Is it always the same?
[23:06] <freebird> L3top, I was right, my graphic driver was installed, I just had to add the line 1024x600 to be able to leave the 800x600
[23:06] <digitalfiz> jackman, also when i try to remove mysql-server it says setting up not removing its very weird
[23:06] <freebird> that's why I had to create a xorg.conf, and added this line in there, now it worked, 1024x600 working fine
[23:06] <freebird> tks you all
[23:07] <Stereocaulon> MrKeuner, how are you trying to connect to your printer, is it USB based, or are you using a printserver?
[23:07] <trevor> i need some help
[23:07] <jhquest> Kernel panic on starting or installing 12.04 on Dell Studio XPS 13, Bug #989677
[23:07] <Guest5769> how do i 'identify in time for a nickname?'
[23:08] <balduin> trevor: i need a cold drink can you help me
[23:08] <jhquest> Anyone experience the same?
[23:08] <MrKeuner> Stereocaulon, it is a wireless printer and connects to the local network when booted
[23:08] <Zoffix> .
[23:08] <Norfenstein> can someone tell me how ubuntu picks a screen resolution to use? after upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04 it's now using my monitor's highest setting (which is not defined in xorg.conf) and I want the second highest; I don't use a login manager like KDM/GDM, and I don't have an .xprofile file (and xrandr is now not detecting the resolution I want)
[23:08] <Steve132> nope, my bad
[23:08] <Steve132> I did get the torrent right
[23:08] <Steve132> but I downloaded it across my lan and it got corrupted there
[23:09] <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] <istevenmon> what else should i add in the node to share internet
[23:09] <Guest5769> i updated my os but now i can't fullscreen vids on youtube or get audio on google translate
[23:09] <Aenigma> hi, i just installed ubuntu 12.04 and i can't seem to log in via the gui as a user but i can log in as a guest. i can login via tty, though. any known issues on this?
[23:10] <Steve132> Ok, so, if the md5sum is wrong
[23:10] <Steve132> do I redownload
[23:10] <MrKeuner> Stereocaulon, I think it gets a fixed ip from the dhcp server which is an openwrt box
[23:11] <Steve132> because I want the +mac
[23:11] <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)
[23:12] <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] <Lirth> Jordan_U: Something else?
[23:12] <Jordan_U> Lirth: Yes.
[23:13] <MrKeuner> Stereocaulon, it get 192.168.1.140, but somehow it is not ponging to pings... weird that I did not do any changes to the printer or to the openwrt box... Must be some other problem outside Precise
[23:13] <snowrichard> hi
[23:13] <Lirth> Jordan_U: Then what?
[23:13] <MrKeuner> Stereocaulon, thakns for your help, I'll read them once I am able to connect the printer back to LAN
[23:13] <snowrichard> just upgraded my internet to Verizon 4G LTE Mifi box and will finish downloading 12.04 within 30 minutes
[23:14] <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
[23:15] <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)?
[23:16] <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?
[23:17] <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
[23:18] <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
[23:19] <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
[23:20] <Jordan_U> Lirth: Is sdb the flash drive you're booted from or something else?
[23:21] <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
[23:22] <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] <Lowkee> I'm having trouble installing ubuntu. I have two drives (1x2TB, 1x1.5TB) each with no partitions (the full drive is in use). The 2TB drive has a Windows 7 installation on it. When I boot from CD to install Ubuntu, Ubuntu will tell me it does not detect an operating system. 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
[23:23] <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".
[23:24] <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
[23:25] <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?
[23:26] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | Lowkee
[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
[23:27] <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.
[23:28] <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.
[23:29] <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
[23:30] <Lowkee> Jordan: Aha, thanks.
[23:30] <JPeterson> do i need more than one /boot/vmlinuz-*-generic?
[23:30] <JPeterson> i have three
[23:30] <zeus> hey there good chaps, can someone help me out on an install problem?
[23:31] <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".
[23:32] <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
[23:33] <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
[23:34] <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.
[23:35] <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
[23:36] <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?
[23:37] <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> Hi guys, is somebody knows how to fix Plymouth with nvidia propritary drivers (Ubuntu 12.04) ???
[23:37] <Lirth> Jordan_U: www.imagebin.org/210186
[23:38] <Guest5769> my system froze when I tried to update to precise pangolin and lost all my data when i reinstalled ocelot
[23:38] <kreos818> Downloading super-boot-manager and applying the fix under "plymouth" tab has always worked for me
[23:38] <kreos818> alexfpms: look above
[23:38] <Lmce> mouth1: Gigabyte (GB) = 1,024 Megabytes or 1,073,741,824 Bytes
[23:38] <mouth1> Lmce, sorry what?
[23:38] <Jordan_U> Lirth: Looks good. Select "Install Now".
[23:39] <jon__> where can i get help configuring a usb controller for mupen64 plus?
[23:39] <Lowkee> Is it possible to config GRUB after installation from Windows, if I cannot boot into Ubuntu?
[23:39] <pmp6nl> Holy cow my 12.04 install is running terribly :(
[23:39] <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?
[23:40] <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?"
[23:41] <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
[23:42] <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.
[23:43] <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.
[23:44] <Lowkee> Jordan: Googling UEFI GRUB Ubuntu LiveCD would suffice?
[23:44] <mouth1> i don't get much out of the numbers
[23:45] <rkyle> Hi, I modifed compiz settings with the installable GUI and now nothing will show up when I log in. Would anyone know how to fix this?
[23:46] <kreos818> alexfpms: I think it has to do with the new kernel, your best bet is to ask on the forums I guess
[23:46] <alexfpms> kreos818, thanks anyway
[23:46] <MirkoKa> rkyle: did you update on 12.04? Compiz doesn't work with it (yet?)
[23:46] <kreos818> alexfpms, np
[23:47] <JPeterson> what's a command line program like windows TreeSize?
[23:47] <brightsparks> Not having much success getting adobe flashdrive plug in to work anybody got any suggestions?
[23:47] <rkyle> MirkoKa: Yes I'm running 12.04, I thought everything was ran by Compiz.
[23:47] <JPeterson> that list folders by recursive size?
[23:47] <MirkoKa> JPeterson:  du -chx
[23:48] <JPeterson> MirkoKa: thx but that shows every file
[23:48] <JPeterson> i'd like to determine the depth level
[23:48] <JPeterson> for example 1 level down from /
[23:49] <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)
[23:50] <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
[23:51] <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 /
[23:52] <Lowkee> Jordan, escott: Thanks for your help. I've made notes for tomorrow. Thanks. :)
[23:52] <JPeterson> or, directly under / + one level
[23:52] <Lowkee> goodnight chaps! :)
[23:53] <brightsparks> New to ubuntu. But not having any success installing or rather gettiong to function adobe flash plugin. Any  remedies that would work?
[23:56] <benwalburn> I'm having trouble mounting a new flash drive. I can detect it using dmesg | tail and Disk Utility but I can't access the storage
[23:57] <nydel> could someone recommend music production software for ubuntu/linux?
