escottjohn38, gnome-session-properties00:05
john38escott, can i access it in System settings00:06
zykotick9mikubuntu: rtorrent (with screen) but that's probably not what your looking for00:06
escottjohn38, i dont think so00:06

escottJPeterson, you have to think about hardlinks and reserved space00:14

tripelb!notunity00:14
ubottuUbuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic00:14

JPetersoni mean du00:15
JPetersonthe higher number in df is because of hardlinks etc?00:15
escottJPeterson, for ext4 df is the true and correct measure of free space00:15
zykotick9kslim: on gnu/linux i don't link so, on android/linux maybe.00:15
escottJPeterson, its probably higher because of reserved space which can be adjusted with etunefs, but not necessary00:15

mbuckois ubuntu related to Android OS in anyway? and is it true that ubuntu is coming to smart devices?00:21

Fyodorovnajmg, the one I linked does what your does a booted ISO many if you want. You don't have to use it just a sugestion it loked by you first reponse you were interested in another.00:30
JPetersonescott: how do i see what itäs doing?00:30
pinportalwhich is better: ubuntu 12,04 32bits or 64bits?00:31
zykotick9pinportal: which is better: blue or yellow?00:31
Fyodorovnapinportal, there is no better.00:31
escottJPeterson, im not sure you would be able to see what it is doing, but it has to read all the binaries and resolve symbols and setup various preloading tables. that can take some time00:31
zykotick9pinportal: do you have more then 4GB RAM?00:31
JPetersonescott: what about iotop?00:31
pinportalbecausem I can use 64 bits...00:31
ThePendulumGrivvel: It says 96.0 ~ However, isn't that information on the greeter? Is the splash screen part of the greeter?00:31

JPetersonhow do i show all memory usage00:32
JPetersonper process00:32
pinportalI have 2,0 GB of ram00:32
BotaniCarhello , is there a howto on enabling wobbly windows and such in virtualised ( virtualbox ) enviroment, with ubuntu 1200:33
zykotick9pinportal: the benefits of 64bit are few and far between, and there are some drawbacks.  But, if you have more then 4GB RAM i'd say use 64bit for sure.  it's up to you, but with 2GB i'd suggest 32bit...00:33
MirkoKapinportal: 32bit if compatiblity (hardware/software) is more important, 64bit if you ahve more than 4GB (16GB) RAM and/or insist on high-performance audio/video transcoding00:33
Logan_!ccsm | BotaniCar00:33
ubottuBotaniCar: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz00:33
zykotick9pinportal: MirkoKa's transcoding/encoding point is where 64bit can shine!00:34
ring0is there something like gnome-tweak-tool for unity, too?00:34
GrivvelThePendulum: Ahh, sorry, I misunderstood the question. I don't know how to do that off-hand, but this looks like a pretty relevant post: http://askubuntu.com/questions/70044/loading-screen-wrong-resolution00:34
JPetersonhow do i show all process in top?00:35
FyodorovnaBotaniCar, if you can get that working there are tons of links on that I would use them compiz is temperamental and needs restart while tweaking at times.00:35
^MikeMy laptop ran compiz just fine, but I think it must not be capable of running Unity - why would that be?00:35
pinportalbecause I upgraded ubuntu 11,10 64bits to 12,04 32bits today, and now The system shows many bugs and crashes...00:35
JPetersonthe load and mem usage is max, but the top list show 3M ram usage and 0% cpu usage00:35
escottJPeterson, see man top00:35
ScrivenerI've googled around and checked the stackexchange areas about this, but what should I search for to narrow down the problem of Ubuntu hanging at the boot splash screen (logo w/dots) when trying to live-boot/install from Wubi or from USB flash drive?00:36
BotaniCarthanks, both00:36
ScrivenerPoint me in the right direction and I can handle reading through some solutions.00:36
ScrivenerIt's a little difficult to narrow with the keywords I've been using. Lots of unrelated posts.00:36
JPetersonescott: no, it's not in the man00:36
tailfwow.. so ever since i attached some storage drives (recently used with windows), my 12.04 install has been screwing up (forgetting my settings and my dual monitor presence, stuff like libnotify no longer working). i removed the drives and reloaded grub, now whenever i boot to ubuntu it hangs for ages on a black screen and i can access tty1 but not the desktop. then i reboot and it *sometimes* makes its way to desktop. i guess i could try refo00:36
ThePendulumGrivvel: I've tried that many times. Just going to try again, now. Brb, reboot00:37
JPetersonescott: i don't know which flag you're refering too00:37
JPetersonwhat i mean is to show all process so that the sum of the list is the same as the total ram and cpu usage00:37
henkyeJPeterson: try htop, its more user friendly but still CLI00:37
JPetersonhenkye: ok00:38
Fyodorovna^Mike, you ever had to install graphic drivers?00:38
imacintohello! I just bought a netbook this afternoon (acer ao722) and immediately installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I was messing around trying to upgrade my video card drivers and now my machine won't load a GUI, it just goes straight to the terminal00:38

tailfimacinto: well alt f4 and see if you get taken back to command prompt00:41
Fyodorovna^Mike, not so much that but more then your unity does not work, there is a 2d as well and other desktops, in other words what does work as well.00:41
Scrivener^Mike, Agreed, I jumped back to 10.04 after 11.04 came out. I was pleased with the performance there. It's unfortunate, really. I know I do need better hardware, but it would be nice to get Unity working well.00:41
^MikeFyodorovna: Ok, well, the spec sheet says "Intel® GMA HD graphics" which doesn't help much :)00:41

ubottuUbuntu 12.04 LTS includes the first step in a major new approach to application interfaces, the Head-Up Display, or HUD, which will ultimately replace menus in Unity applications. See http://ubottu.com/y/hud for the background on this and discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic00:58
courtieris there ubuntu help channel?00:58
JanneMIs there a replacement for Xmodmap in 12.04 that we are supposed to use for remapping your keyboard?00:58
wookienzguys, i am stumbling around trying to use NFS. I have a connection and all that but i am struggling with permissions. Specifically how do i map a NFS share from a NAS so that any user on the nix box can write to the share? im guessing it is some uid, gid options under fstab. Any takers?00:59

imacintoGrivvel: yes, and I get a bunch of messages about starting and stopping services01:29
AriaDesuWhich one is failing?01:29
sfearsimacinto: your video card drivers may not be installed corectly and when the gui fails to load it drops you to a terminal session.  Maybe need to "sudo dpkg-reconifgure xserver-xorg" and then try in failsafe mode?01:29
AriaDesuDo you have multiple DEs trying to run? Closed source drivers?01:29
AriaDesuYou're on a imac, so you'll need the Nvidia drivers for brightness control (I think) and external monitors.01:30
imacintono, my name is Ian MacIntosh ;)01:30
AriaDesuIm guessing you're on a iMac from your name anyway...01:30
AriaDesuOh, alright then.01:31
imacintomy machine I'm troubleshooting is an Acer Aspire One 722 netbook01:31
AriaDesuWhat kind of GPU?01:31
imacintothe video card is a ATI Radeon 6290, I don't know anything more specific about the GPU itself01:31
AriaDesuvideo card is the GPU.01:32
jmgis grub in 1`1.04 unable to boot from a fat32 volume?01:32
imacintooh. cool. I was under the impression that the GPU was a dedicated CPU that runs on the video card. I've learned something new01:32
AriaDesuUnless its one of those fancy laptops that switch GPU depending on your usage01:32
AriaDesuAre you using generic ATI drivers, or official ones?01:33
AriaDesuNo plural there..01:33
AriaDesuHave you gotten into your desktop before, or is it a fresh install? If you have: Done any changes to Xorg.conf?01:34
Grivvelimacinto/AraiDesu: For what its worth, I had a couple issues upgrading to 12.04 with my ATI Radeon 4650. The default (non-proprietary) drivers were having all sorts of issues. If you aren't using the proprietary one, I would suggest trying that.01:34
imacintoAriaDesu: I started with the system drivers, then installed drivers from xorg-edgers (followed instructions at http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/202-ubuntu-acer-ao722), then tried installing the drivers that Ubuntu recommended01:34
john38How do you report a bug01:35
imacintowhen I say system drivers, I mean whatever 12.04 ships with01:35
AriaDesuGrivvel: imacinto: Yup. And if you are, try switching back. ATI drivers tend to act up.01:35
tehowe_john38: launchpad.net There's a commandline that will automatically send it various log files too though I haven't done that ofetn enough to remember how01:36
AriaDesuAnd it broke after the install?01:36

scar3crowmy ubuntu one account is syncing very slow.... I mean, unusually slow01:58
tehowe_How much space would xfce-desktop (that's the meta package right?) take if I wanted it available to try as an alternate desktop? Would there be any chance of hosing my Precise install?01:58
gaelfxsubb1: are you asking about swap or /tmp?01:58
subb1gaelfx, /tmp01:59
GrivvelheyOH_: Cany ou type this and tell me the output? "grep "snd-hda-intel" /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf" (again, no quotes around it)01:59
timothyhello, i would like to know the cmd to open ubuntu one on xubuntu01:59
timothyvia the terminal01:59
pmp6nlAnyone have any experience making ATI graphics work well?01:59
GrivvelheyOH_: Also, is this a Dell computer?01:59
gaelfxsubb1: why are you making a separate partition for /tmp?01:59
joseluis64amigilani : against which program do you want to report a bug?01:59
amingilaniHey..02:00
subb1gaelfx, trying new schemes. earlier i used to go with just / on a big single partition and then swap. Just for learning purposes :)02:00
amingilanithe login screen02:01
amingilaniit's a readability issue02:01
amingilanisee, in precise..02:01
amingilaniwhen the background is really bright02:01
amingilaniyou can't read the usernames02:01
gaelfxtehowe_: it shouldn't hose anything, as for space, just do apt-get install and it will tell you how much space it needs02:01
joseluis64amingilani the name of the package is lightdm02:01
amingilaniso, would this even count as a bug?02:01
heyOH_Grivvel: acer aspire 5920g. no snd-hda-intel with grep02:01
amingilanithe fact that a white background renders the text unreadable?02:02
joseluis64amingilani i think so02:02
InferiorHumanOrgheyOH_: you can do a sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel02:02
gaelfxsubb1: well, as a general rule, I think most people do one partition for / one for /home and a swap partition, I don't think there's much use in creating a separate /tmp02:02
amingilanicool!02:02
amingilanithanks!02:02
gaelfxsubb1: I could be wrong about that though02:02
heyOH_InferiorHumanOrg: module is laready loaded02:02
InferiorHumanOrgheyOH_: I just got here what is your issue, no sound ?02:03
joseluis64amingilani yo may want to change your desktop manager02:03
InferiorHumanOrgheyOH_: sometimes if you unload the snd-hda-intel module and reload it, it will work *magically* sudo rmmod snd-hda-intel && sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel02:03
gaelfxsubb1: the only situation I can think of where it might be useful is if you are creating a / partition on an SSD and you want the /tmp to be on a different drive (like an HDD) to prevent wear and tear on the SSD02:03
amingilanilol, not really02:04
amingilanii kinda like unity..02:04
heyOH_InferiorHumanOrg: sound coming out from headphones and ALSO fomr speakers02:04
heyOH_*from02:04
ismarc_netbookSo, no response to my forum thread or mailing list post, so, trying here again...anyone here who might be able to help me fix a non-functioning touchpad (worked on maverick, did fresh install of 12.04, worked until first login then never worked again)02:04
=== irdx is now known as irdxafk
GrivvelheyOH_: Try adding this to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and restarting: http://paste.ubuntu.com/954050/02:04
gaelfxamingilani: my only major complaint about unity is the inability to autohide the top-panel, it's a pain on a netbook screen02:04
InferiorHumanOrgheyOH_: have you checked the settings in alsamixer maybe there is an option02:04
GrivvelheyOH_: (That second line might not be needed. It fixes a similar issue with the microphone.)02:05
gaelfxismarc_netbook: do you know which driver it's loading for your touchpad?02:05
GrivvelheyOH_: Wait, there's a typo in there02:05
ivanBliminseAnyone know why Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit LTS installation media on USB or DVD gives a prefix error and freezes at a garbled screen when trying to install? The 32-bit works just fine, I'm using a Lenovo Laptop 64bit02:05
amingilanilol, i use a netbook too.. ehh.. there's a lot more restrictions than just that..02:05
InferiorHumanOrgheyOH_: you can try what the other guy told you, also look for an option called 'automuting' in alsamixer02:05
ismarc_netbookgaelfx: almost 100% certain it's xserver-xorg-input-synaptics02:05
amingilanii kinda don't like the not being able to move the bar to the right side02:05
amingilanibut, i guess i'll live..02:06
GrivvelheyOH_: Second would should just be "acer-dmic", not "acer-aspire-mic"02:06
ismarc_netbookgaelfx: It's detected as Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"02:06
gaelfxismarc_netbook: is it possible you accidentally disabled the touchpad in BIOS or using the fn hotkeys?02:06
heyOH_InferiorHumanOrg: I've already looked @ lasamixer but nothing useful found02:06
ismarc_netbookgaelfx: Fn+F9 (enable/disable touchpad) key has no effect, BIOS doesn't have any settings available for it02:06
subb1gaelfx, thanks. So i just stick with / on one patition and then swap for the time being?02:06
InferiorHumanOrgheyOH_: ok. then definently try changing your model like the other guy said.02:07
InferiorHumanOrgsome models require specific options.02:07
GrivvelheyOH_: I would suggest just adding that first line for now and then trying the second if the first doesn't fix it.02:07
ismarc_netbookgaelfx: however, the behavior is very much as if it's disabled...evtest shows no events for the input device associated with it02:07
gaelfxsubb1: I would strongly suggest making a separate partition for /home, since it makes reinstalling much much easier02:07
imacintoso I'm trying to reinstall video card drivers and keep getting this message: "sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory"02:07
imacintois that common?02:07
heyOH_Grivvel: added... let me reboot02:07
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: what drivers, and how are you trying to install ?02:07
=== ThomasBoxley_ is now known as ThomasBoxley
gaelfxismarc_netbook: does it show up in lsusb? also, what laptop model is this?02:08
subb1gaelfx, thanks... so shall i go with diff partition for - / , /home , swap.. would that be fine?02:08
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: I'm following the commands in this thread (third post down, "hasen j")02:08
imacintoin this thread: http://askubuntu.com/questions/33092/how-well-do-ati-drivers-work-with-unity02:09

talloaktreescan anyone help me figure out a mv command?02:09
ismarc_netbookgaelfx: Doesn't show up in lsusb and it's a Toshiba NB505 netbook02:09
wookienzhi i have some how borked my headless ubuntu install. Presently it boots to grub menu and thats it. Where doi go from here to fix it?02:09
talloaktreesI want to to move all jpgs from a directory (and all recursive sub dirs) to another dir with mv02:09
gaelfxsubb1: your / partition doesn't need to be too big, 10GB is usually more than enough, though I usually go with 20GB just to be safe02:09
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: when I tried to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, I got that message five times02:09
Ben64!info apparmor02:09
ubottuapparmor (source: apparmor): User-space parser utility for AppArmor. In component main, is standard. Version 2.7.102-0ubuntu3 (precise), package size 352 kB, installed size 1024 kB02:09
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: why don't you want to use the binary driver, it will perform better02:10
subb1gaelfx, great. just the suggestion what I needed ! I have a 500G hdd....02:10
gaelfxsubb1: haha, then 20GB definitely shouldn't be a problem02:10
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: when I tried to install the binary driver, something went wrong. all I can get to now is the command line02:10
gaelfxsubb1: also, most people make swap twice the size of their physical RAM02:11
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: how did you try to install it, with the GUI app ?02:11
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: yes, from the "Drivers" dialog02:12
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: which card?02:12
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: ATI Radeon02:12
joseluis64amingliani: is not about the desktop environment is about the desktop screen, you may want to change lightdm to gdm02:12
imacintoI believe it's a Radeon HD 6290 based on what I'm seeing from lspci02:13
heyOH__Grivvel: sound work ONLY form headphoines now02:13
wlightningno one? =(02:13
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: can you be more specific ? lspci | grep VGA02:13
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: yes -- "VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Wrestler [Radeon HD 6290]"02:14
GrivvelheyOH_: When you unplug the headphones sound doesn't come from the main speakers?02:14
joseluis64amingliani : my mistake is not dektop screen is login screen02:14
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: ok -- hold please02:14
imacintook02:14
GrivvelheyOH__: Can you start alsamixer and make sure it isn't muted?02:14
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: desktop or laptop ?02:15
ismarc_netbookwlightning: I wasn't in here when you asked and might be able to help, what's up?02:15
heyOH__Grivvel: every channell is @ 100%02:15
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: it's a netbook; Acer Aspire One 72202:15
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: ok02:15
nimbioticsHello earthlings ... I just upgraded to 12.04 and ubuntu one is reporting  an "IPC error". What is this and how can I fix it? TIA!02:16
Ben64how can i change the highlight color in 12.04?02:16
subb1gaelfx, but I read that 2* RAM convention is not that required...02:16
GrivvelheyOH__: Can you click on the speaker icon in the upper-right, click "sound settings", click on speakers, and click "Test Sound"?02:16
GrivvelheyOh__: Then click some of the "Test" buttons and see if it works02:17
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: which ubuntu version 11.10, 12.04 ?02:17
Ben64subb1: it isn't required02:17
subb1gaelfx, usually depends on one's work load it seems...02:17

wlightningismarc_netbook, but if I do it from my 11.10 desktop.. I can't get it to fail at all.. this is querying google.com for testing02:21
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: I believe it is a 64-bit processor02:21

nimbioticsIm working on a multi boot machine. I already installed windoze and ubuntu 12.04. I need to install bt5 now. My question is If I choose the install side by side option, does it mean that both OS will be sharing the same partition & file system?02:24
gaelfxismarc_netbook: have you tried looking through the archlinux documentation RE:synaptics? I know it's not directly related to ubuntu, but there is a ton more info there than on the ubuntu documentation02:24
nimbioticsHello earthlings ... I just upgraded to 12.04 and ubuntu one is reporting  an "IPC error". What is this and how can I fix it? TIA!02:24
ismarc_netbookgaelfx: Haven't looked yet, will take a look02:24
gaelfxnimbiotics: what is bt5?02:25
nimbioticsgaelfx: `back track 5, r202:25
gaelfxah, cool02:25
gaelfxnimbiotics: side-by-side means they will be on the same drive, but they can't be on the same partition02:25
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: run this, mkdir ~/ati && cd ~/ati && wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run  (I believe that is the correct file, don't know why it says x86_64 also lets give it a try02:26

AberonHello all. I installed Ubuntu 11.1 over a my windows partion and it keeps wanting to boot into Windows. Why is that ?02:26
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: ok02:26
gaelfxInferiorHumanOrg: I think it says that because it should work for both 32 and 64-bit02:26
InferiorHumanOrggaelfx: yea thats what im thinking too. thanks02:26
BotaniCarRunning various benchmarks i run into different GL Vendor information (like GL_VENDOR:VMware, Inc. or GL_VENDOR:Humper) , how does system determine which to use , and can i pick a default ( if it matters, the OS is ubuntu 12 virtualised in virtualbox?02:27
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: it's running now, downloading02:28
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: ok02:28
Aberonanyone know?02:28
imacintook, that just finished02:28
CellTechWhat is the real difference beween the 'buntu's? Besides lighter desktops? Some programs work the way I like on ubuntu, but not on xubuntu.02:28
InferiorHumanOrgCellTech: xubuntu uses xfce02:29
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: it finished saving, do I need to run it somehow now?02:29
CellTechBut how would that effect program performance?02:29
Jordan_UAberon: What do you mean by "installed Ubuntu 11.1 over a my windows partion" and "keeps wanting to boot into Windows"?02:29
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: yes, now run this first.. sudo apt-get install dh-make dh-modaliases execstack02:29
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: ok02:30
AberonJordan_U, well installed Ubuntu over my Windows HDD. Shouldn't have said partition02:30
linuxuz3raberon did you unstall by wubi02:30
CellTechOk. I'm going lubuntu testing now. ttyal02:30
Jordan_UAberon: OK, so your Windows partition is gone. What do you mean by "keeps wanting to boot into Windows"? What exactly happens when you try to boot?02:31
jsmith_Ok.  So, I installed 12.04 and for some reason when I login under my 'default' login unity 3d isn't showing up... no panel, no launcher, no dash...02:31
wlightningismarc_netbook, sorry 'bout that... switched to wired...and it looks like the second of my dns servers is getting 50% packet loss02:31
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: dh-make, dh-modaliases, and execstack are already the newest version. it also said that dkms was automatically installed and no longer required02:31
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: ok thats fine.02:31
wlightningismarc_netbook, is there any way to leave DHCP on, but specify the dns servers manually?02:31
AberonJordan_U, When I boot up, there is an error saying that Windows is missing. Which obviosuly is because it isn't there02:31
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: run this, sudo sh amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/precise02:32
jsmith_only under my default login... works great w/ another login or guest02:32
ismarc_netbookwlightning: There is, but I haven't done it with the gui-type tools (that overwrite /etc/resolve.conf), so give me a minute or two and I'll find the way02:32
Jordan_UAberon: Did you use automatic partitioning in the installer or did you specify partitions manually? Do you have more than one hard drive?02:32
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: ok02:32
wlightningismarc_netbook, k... yeah... it's just since 12.04 which has some kind of weird dns proxy thingy02:32
Sixmsjanyone have a very slow transmission in 12.04?02:33
Aberonjordan_U, standard automatic02:33
Sixmsjit's stalling and overall a little slow after like 20 torrents.. =[02:33
InferiorHumanOrgSixmsj: downloading 20 torrents at once ?02:33
Jordan_UAberon: I asked two questions :)02:33
Sixmsjthey're all seeding InferiorHumanOrg02:33
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: Uncompressing... and now it's going into an installer02:33
The_Rufushelp please, yesterday I copied 1tb of stuff from my windows 7 machine to my ubuntu server. Everything was working fine. I shut down my win7 machine but now I can't access my linux box via samba at all. I can ssh into it with no dramas, but even \\servername doesn't see the computer on the network. Any ideas?02:33
Sixmsji'm transfering torrents over from an old computer02:34
ismarc_netbookwlightning: Yeah, I upgraded from 10.04 yesterday, so I'm still coming up to speed on some things02:34
Aberonjordan_U, o sorry, yes I do02:34
InferiorHumanOrgSixmsj: idk then02:34
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: So it's asking me to pick a product to install. I'm assuming "Driver 8.961 on X.Org 6.9 or later" is what I want, and not "Generate distro specific driver package"?02:34
Sixmsjthere are no good torrent clients other than utorrent =[02:35
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: you do what distro specific package I believe02:35
Jordan_UAberon: Then most likely whats happening is that grub's boot sector is not installed to the mbr of the drive your BIOS is booting from. Try changing the boot order in your BIOS.02:35
snellqbittorrent is good02:35
InferiorHumanOrgSixmsj: transmission works fine for me02:35

jsmith_Anyone want to help w/ a Unity/Login issue?02:36
t0rx__anyone know if xorg.conf settings will take for a output that xrandr doesn't show?02:36
gaelfxInferiorHumanOrg: exactly, it's so much easier to control than others02:36
Jordan_UAberon: Well that's probably the entire problem then. If your BIOS can't access the drive containing Ubuntu you might need to make a separate /boot/ partition on a drive which your BIOS can access.02:36
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: just go with whatever the default options are and it should create some .deb files02:36
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: hmm... ok02:36
ismarc_netbookwlightning: I found http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ that has several options, including where you can have values applied to /etc/resolv.conf before the other settings are02:37
AberonJordan_U, o lord lol. I did a ubuntu install on my lappy and it wasn't this fustrating. Even Arch02:37
wlightningismarc_netbook,02:37
ismarc_netbookwlightning: (i.e., you can put one DNS server in the right section and the others will be added, but it'll use the first one first)02:37
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: installation path? /?02:37
wlightningismarc_netbook, ah.. okay... that should work for now02:37
Jordan_UAberon: This sounds entirely like a problem with your BIOS, not related to Ubuntu in any way (other than that you want to install Ubuntu to a drive which your BIOS can't access).02:38
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: try exiting that and just running this again, use whatever options it wants. it should create some .deb files. not ask for an installation path I believe according to the guide... sudo sh amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/precise02:39
AberonJordan_U kk. I shall work on02:39

imacintoI'm a little surprised that the Ubuntu install ISO doesn't have a "repair installation" option for situations like this. seems like a whole lot of work to repair a video driver02:41
gaelfxismarc_netbook: good luck! I hope it works out02:41
john38InferiorHumanOrg, im on Precise02:41
wlightningismarc_netbook, that explains why it never was an issue until now02:41
InferiorHumanOrgjohn38: yea, run nvidia-settings in a terminal :-O02:41
clericJordan_U:  I don't have the CD, so I guess I have to download it just to fix a tiny detail?02:41
=== good is now known as good_future
JonEdneyDoes 12.04 server have an installation log or upgrade log?  Console says I have errors and is still showing 11.10 version02:42
imacintoI suppose that I'm not really repairing a driver, I'm installing one from the internet.02:42
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: usually the gui program works pretty good to just install binary/proprietary drivers for you02:42
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: correct.02:42
Areckxis there a VNC viewer that will display my iPhone display smoothly, and display streaming video like youtube?02:42
good_futurewhy not what i say can be display ?02:42
Jordan_Ucleric: You could also install grub2 for Windows using cygwin, but at the moment we don't even know what the problem is and it's much more difficult to determine that from Within Windows.02:42
InferiorHumanOrgAreckx: you want to view your iphone's screen on your pc ?02:42
AreckxInferiorHumanOrg::  yes02:43
clericJordan_U: I will try that, I already have Cygwin.02:43
gaelfxAreckx: I've never seen any VNC that shows videos well02:43
InferiorHumanOrgAreckx: ah ok, no idea how to do that sorry.02:43
clericJordan_U: Btw, how can I get my data from Ubuntu, I have some really important stuff?02:43
jsmith_I installed 12.04 and for some reason when I login under my 'default' login unity 3d isn't showing up... no panel, no launcher, no dash!  This is only under my default login... works great w/ another login or guest.   Any help would be appreciated.02:43
[deXter]Areckx, No, it's not the viewer, it's the server and the VNC technology in general.. just isn't cut out fo that sort of stuff02:43
imacintoit sure does seem to take a bit to generate a package02:43
_TristanHello. A buddy of mine told me to wait one week after each ubuntu release to install it due to bugs. Is there much benefit to this?02:43
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: yea. it might take awhile especially on a netboot02:43
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: yea. it might take awhile especially on a netbook02:43
[deXter]Areckx, you might have better results with RDP or NX..02:43
john38I think Precise has problem with Twinview TV displays02:44
The_Rufushelp please, yesterday I copied 1tb of stuff from my windows 7 machine to my ubuntu server. Everything was working fine. I shut down my win7 machine but now I can't access my linux box via samba at all. I can ssh into it with no dramas, but even \\servername doesn't see the computer on the network. Any ideas?02:44
Areckx[deXter]::  Are there any other ways, such as USB connecting?02:44
Areckx[deXter]::  What are those?02:44
InferiorHumanOrgThe_Rufus: did your /etc/samba/smb.conf change some how ?02:44
Jordan_Ucleric: You'll need to install an ext4 driver for Windows. If you just want a smaller download then Super GRUB2 Disk might be a better way to go (only 1.4 MiB), and should allow you to boot into Ubuntu.02:44
_TristanHello. A buddy of mine told me to wait one week after each ubuntu release to install it due to bugs. Is there much benefit to this?02:44
The_RufusInferiorHumanOrg: Nope. no changes at all02:44
Areckx[deXter]::  vinagre?02:44
InferiorHumanOrgAreckx: why do you need to see your iphone screen on your computer anyway ?02:45
Aberon_Tristan: yesh02:45
clericJordan_U: Thanks a ton, I will try it.02:45
Jordan_Ucleric: You're welcome.02:45
_TristanAberon: When would you recommend I install 12.04?02:45
gaelfx_Tristan: well, yes and no. In general, if things are working with what you've got now, I wouldn't bother upgrading for a while02:45
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: ok, the package generating is now finished!02:45
AreckxInferiorHumanOrg::  Some things work better on my iPhone for streaming video, such as PPS(the website  isn't as simple as the app02:45
imacintothree .deb files have been successfully generated02:46
snellhow to install a bin?02:46
Areckxand is there a way to make my laptop speaker play the iphone audio?02:46
InferiorHumanOrgAreckx: im missing what your saying, you prefer to watch video on your iphone than your pc >.< ?02:46
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: ok, sudo dpkg -i *.deb02:46
Aberon_Tristan: You can if you want to, but I have to reinstall ubuntu because I upgraded to 12.0402:46
AreckxInferiorHumanOrg::  yes, because the iphone app is simpler and faster than the website02:46
arkaniadAlright guys, wit's end. After upgrading to 12.04, Empathy doesn't connect to ANY of my messenger accounts except AIM sporadically. Is there a way I can completely purge it and reinstall it without losing all my other data?02:47
AreckxI guess it's a dead end02:47
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: ok, cool. I got a few warnings about skipping creation of certain files because associated files don't exist02:47
john38Is anyone else having Twinview display problems with Nvidia and Precise02:47
InferiorHumanOrgarkaniad: sudo apt-get purge program02:48
gaelfxjohn38: many, from what I've heard02:48
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: but it worked ?02:48
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: and now it's finished. the last thing it reported is "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place"02:48
imacintoI didn't get any errors or beeps, so I believe that it worked02:48
AreckxInferiorHumanOrg::  What I really need to get is an hdMi cable02:48
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: ok run this to make a config for xserver sudo aticonfig --initial02:48

jsmith_Anyone up for helping me figure out this Unity3D issue??02:50
InferiorHumanOrgAreckx: I got a 50 foot hdmi cable for $25, stores near me charge like $25 for a six foot lol02:51

imacintohah, fair enough. btw, aticonfig finished up, not sure what to do with it now02:52
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: what does "fglrx" no quotes return ?02:53
Areckxwoah only 2 bucks for a 1.5 foot02:53

InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: what does fglrx show in terminal ?02:55
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: ok, so I have a kind of crappy gui, and it's not picking up on my trackpad, but it's asking me what I'd like to do: run in low-graphics mode for just one session, reconfigure graphics, troubleshoot the error, or exit to console login02:55
KornKagehi, sorry for asking this here, its the last place i know i can try to ask and know.. does anyone know which song does this lyrics belong to(i dont know the band nor the music..)?

gasherhi,  XUbuntu (12.04) generated a crash report at one point and now it keeps showing up each time I boot my laptop. Is there a way to get rid of it? (I don't think it's a new crash each time I reboot, but rather the same crash report that for some reason is un-remembered each time I turn off the computer and then shows up in the desktop panel when I have rebooted)02:58

PiNinjaMy sound isn't working. I believe I need the snd-hda-intel module, but after I load it my sound still does not work.02:58
InferiorHumanOrgimacinto: it would be good to know what fglrx says, you can hit ctrl+alt+F5 to change to a different tty and run it02:59
imacintoInferiorHumanOrg: oh well this is a huge tease, I don't have a mouse so I can't even pick anything02:59
imacintoI'll do ctrl+alt+f502:59

pmp6nlwolter, I was wondering the same thing.  Same issue with #ubuntu-support03:36
escottbenjamindaines, it could be an issue with the way your hda sound is setup (assuming you have hda)  see http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug_Intel_HDA03:37
Jordan_Unavatwo: But your Windows System partition is missing. Windows 7 installations generally require *two* partitions, one containing most of the OS and the other containing just the bootloader. You're missing the latter.03:37

Jordan_Uzebe42: Why Xen? I'm not sure if Xen is officially supported under Ubuntu.04:16
gaelfxHebram_: well, that is the latest version, so I would imagine that it's not a driver issue, since no one else seems to have reported that problem on your hardware04:17

zebe42celthunder, not sure... the deb package installed a  new kernel to load in grub04:19
megabitdragoncelthunder, in the sound settings there are no devices in the output tab and the volume slider is grayed out and at minimum04:19

balazsPackage libssl1.0.0:i386 cannot be removed04:20
megabitdragonInferiorHumanOrg i just restarted with 3.2.0-2304:20
celthundermegabitdragon: interesting, can you check alsa see if it shows your output devices?04:20
gaelfxHebram_: yeah, that's what it sounds like. You should try without the driver and see if you have the same problem. If so, then it's a settings issue and you can probably solve it with gconf-editor04:20
Jordan_Uzebe42: My guess is that your hardware doesn't support hardware virtualization, and so when you used kvm it fell back to qemu which is *very* slow indeed. If that's the case though, you'd be better off going with virtualbox than Xen.04:21
zebe42kvm-ok just told me I don't have kvm support.... which is probably why it didn't work. But virtualbox worked04:21
Hebram_gaelfx:  Thanks again for your help.04:21

wjcwanybody noticed that logging into a unity2d sessoin and then relogging into a unity3d session messes up some settings like the Window buttons go on the right and the window bar font is set to the GNOME default, not Unity default (e.g. that canterall or w/e it's called)04:21
megabitdragoncelthunder, InferiorHumanOrg  the problem is that it worked the I applied todays' updates and when I rebooted no more sound. Now I restartet with the 0-23 kernel and still no sound04:22

celthunderzebe42: lol thats a bit of a problem04:25
Jordan_Uzebe42: You can still use Virtualbox and get pretty good performance. And unlike Xen, Virtualbox is well supported and easy to use.04:25
celthunderJordan_U: xen is well supported though i agree kvm is way better...vbox is not exactly fast though.04:26

_RED_<littlebearspa> the geforce 6xxx series doesn't work with 12.04 and when it does its REALLY slow04:28
Jordan_Uzebe42: If they are available, yes. But it doesn't depend on them it can still do CPU virtualiztion without it (with a slight, maybe 1 to 2%, performance loss. nothing like qemu which is something like 1/10th native speed since it's emulation rather than virtualization).04:29
gaelfxJZApples: that's how it's supposed to work, you uave to use terminal+sudo to do stuff as "root"04:29

So setting it to 0 makes a clear background, somewhere in the middle both the solid purple and the image are visible and at 100 the background is purple. I've never had this issue before...anyone know a fix?05:59

rodayoneatoas1, i've tried this already...i actually did a clean re-install after after the final release of precise was out. so i was having this issue in beta 2 as well06:00
neattoas1weird.06:00
neattoas1Did you try clearing your past settings?06:00
rodayoneattoas1, how do you do that?06:01
neattoas1I'm not too sure, but I would say check your .config folder.06:01
gaelfxrinzler: by the way, you need to use 173 nvidia drivers if you do that06:01
neattoas1(/home/your_username/.config)06:01
gaelfxrinzler: the 295 driver won't work with your card06:01
subb1gaelfx, sorry. was not at the desk06:02
rinzlergaelfx: I haven't tried anything with the s-video out yet, so I just wanted to explore my options. Just Plugging it in didn't do anything, and it'll display anything BIOS related, but once it gets into X, it stops displaying on the s-video. Ubuntu gave me a 173 driver in additional drivers...06:02
gaelfxI don't care what format they decide on for streaming in the future, so long as it supports toggleable subtitles, I'll be happy06:02
gaelfxsubb1: not a prob06:03
subb1gaelfx, not able to scroll back to ur last message.06:03
gaelfxrinzler: well, after you plugged in the cable, did you go to Settings>Displays and click detect displays?06:04
gaelfxsubb1: I think it was just that I don't what to do about it, so it's no big deal06:04
rodayoneattoas1, tried grepping for "terminal" inside ~/.config i don't see anything else that might be related to it06:05

cvrrodayo, are you sure thats not the expected behaviour? thats the same result I get when playing with it06:07
rodayocvr, that's really strange then because I remember having a solid background image back when I was using oneiric06:07
gaelfxhalfie_: I think, like cvr said, hw acceleration for flash is only working with nvidia cards, so all flash content is using cpu instead of gpu06:07
rinzlergaelfx: the proprietary driver is the one that's running...06:08
rodayocvr, i'm sure the developers meant for you to have that option of a solid bg image06:08
gaelfxrinzler: sorry, I thought you said before it was a clean install, so I assumed you hadn't installed the prop drivers06:09
cvrrodayo, so when u have a background image selected and the slider set to none it doesnt show you a solid bg image?06:09

gaelfxrinzler: ok, what does nvidia-settings say about it then? does the second display show up in there?06:11
rodayocvr, it's a little weird, the image is "semi transparent" if i place it over a dark background app you can make out the image. Or if I place over a text editor with black text then the text will get colored according to the image...kinda like an overlay filter in photoshop06:11

rodayo_cvr, this is gonna be tricky then...i figure i have to disable my old ati driver first/06:33
brideanThe thing is, I hit a certain key to toggle between English and Korean input normally.   But in Unity if I hit that key, it will go into the dash saying "Type your command"   Pretty annoying.06:34
cvrrodayo_, if you type jockey into the dash and what drivers do u have available there?06:34
root_ls06:35
brideanI guess the easiest fix will be to install a sane windows manager like gnome06:35

gaelfxbridean: pratz does any of that help, or am I totally python illiterate?06:37
rodayo_cvr, nvm got it. looks like there's 2 for me...one has "(post release updates)" at the end of the name...do you know what the diff is by any chance?06:37
brideansiloxid,  I would say that Unity is not sane compared to Gnome.   It's not clear what command does what under Unity.  Thus the necessity of asking people here how to do things, rather than looking at the screen and having it be obvious what I should do06:37
siloxidwhat was the name of the gnome2 fork again? it recently got a new name06:37
gaelfxsiloxid: MATE I believe06:38
siloxidbridean: oh yeah I forgot how much I hate unity06:38
gaelfxsiloxid: and I think you need to use it in conjunction with cinnamon, but I could be wrong06:38

jschalli'm having bad performance in a game while using unity 3d. i have a system76 laptop with an nvidia gtx560m... what sort of nvidia settings might make a big difference? i notice that turning on unredirect fullscreen videos causes unity 3d to fail to start06:39
cvrrodayo_, i think the first one is the version when the version ubuntu was released, and post-release has an updated version06:39
brideanBasically, any program where I can't figure out how to do something by looking at the screen (or a menu item) is a poorly written program from a user friendly point of view06:39
aldwinaldwinafter 30 hours, finaly have an 12.04, even cleaned all my partitions to start from zero ... even then ... have troubles with Grub :(06:40
gaelfxsiloxid: possibly, but I was being serious06:40
brideansiloxid, I hope unity doesn't become so ubiquitous that it becomes difficult to switch to gnome or kde06:40
siloxidbridean: I tried to figure it out again with the new ubuntu release and I finally figured out how to get the terminal up after five minutes06:40
rodayo_cvr, hope this works then. these weren't open source drivers btw. the description calls them "proprietary"06:40
Garpbridean: all of this is cultural; you are used to some kind of interface so you know how it works because you're used to. A different one you dont know is not worse, you just didnt learned it.06:40
cvrrodayo_, ahh.. try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver for the OS driver06:41
siloxidGarp: a UI where you click on a "home" icon and search google-style for the app you are hoping to run is insane06:41
brideanGarp,  A new interface is fine as long as there are easy ways to figure out how to do things.   I shouldn't have to go into xchat and ask people.06:41
siloxidGarp: especially when it's a brand new system and you have no way to know what's installed yet06:41
rodayo_cvr, so cancel this one then?06:42
Garpbridean: What I mean is just that the one you know, you asked for it sooo long ago that you forgot you had to do it. It didnt came out "naturally".06:42
gaelfxwhat they should have done was take a note from games and make a tutorial06:42
siloxidGarp: not to mention the only two interfaces I haven't been able to pick up in a few minutes in 25 years was mathematica and unity06:42
brideanGarp:  So how would YOU fix my problem.   Specifically, the problem is when I hit the 한/영 key on my keyboard, instead of merely switching back and forth from Korean to English, it brings up a text area near the dash saying "Type your command".06:43
siloxidGarp: the mac os interface has always been ridiculously easy.  point and click on everything06:43
siloxidGarp: how do you point and click on gnome-terminal in unity?06:44
siloxidGarp: and windows, gnome<3 and kde likewise06:44
Garpbridean: I dont use Unity, so I dunno. What I can only guess it that one or both of your application have somewhere a configuration for the hotkeys and you can just change them.06:44
xskydevilxHow to get rid of that sort of rubber band effect for the Unity sidebar on the left on 12.04 when it's on autohide?06:44
cfochhello06:45
cfochwhat is the desktop channel ?06:45
rectecCan you guys help me with audio problems here?06:45
Garpsiloxid: I dont use Unity, and the few I saw of it didnt appealed me. But the point os there anyway: you want to reuse some old paradigm on a different interface; it doesnt work; and you feel upset because your previous knowledge is unusable. It doesnt means it's worse, just that it's different.06:45
Lilrectec, ask your question.. and you might get an answer.06:46

brideanGarp:  In previous interfaces, I was able to figure out how to do things without going into chat and asking people06:46
cfochI was using GNOME Shell in Ubuntu 11.10, now I¨ve installed 12.04, and my desktop is so ugly :S How can i restore the default Unity configuration ?06:46
rectecLil, Ok. Just don't wont to get shunned over to a pulseaudio channel.06:47
rodayo_cvr, looks like a lot of work =P i'll try it out tmrw. thanks for the help =)06:47
siloxidGarp: the fact that some new things are a paradigm shift doesn't cross paths with the crappy UI that is unity06:47
coviAre there any good command-line dictionary tools available? En-en is basic requirement06:47
brideancfoch, You will have to install gnome and either restart, or log out and log back in.   Be sure to select gnome at the login screen as your interface though06:47
rba1988I find unity ok. even faster than gnome 2.x06:47
rba1988in terms of workflow06:48
Lilrectec, Understandable. It's doubtful I can help.. but the ppl here will help if they can, on any kind of question.06:48
rectecI'm on Precise. When I use PulseAudio-Equalizer to boost the bass, I get some software clipping. What can I do about this?06:48
siloxidGarp: even apps that feel like they were created by amiga or atari programmers are more intuitive for us windows/gnome/kde/ratpaison/os x/os 9 folks06:48
rectecLil, of course :)06:48
cfochI don¨t want install gnome, now I want use Unity, but it looks ugly because it has the old configuration when I installed Gnome Shell in 11.1006:48
__eagle__tried several things but still got update problem: anyone has the problem with ubuntu 12 on update manager telling that the cache/package information is too old (in my case it says 32 days)??06:50
siloxid__eagle__: no.  I just run apt-get update06:50
gaelfxis the top-panel supposed to show up on the lock screen?06:50
cfochis there any command like unity --reset in 12.04 ?06:51
aldwinaldwinWhen my laptop starts up, I get a grub command line. After studying some manuals, I finaly got in my new 12.04 installation. How can I automize the startup? creating menu.lst?06:51
MayazcherquoiHow can I stop Precise from disconnecting my second VGA monitor when I close my laptop lid? :S06:51
gaelfxcfoch: should ne06:51
gaelfx*be06:51
rectecaldwinaldwin, How about reinstalling grub?06:51
aldwinaldwinrectec: is it grub 1 or grub2 ?06:51
gaelfxMayazcherquoi: you have to make it so that when the laptop lid is closed, the screens are not turned off, probably have to use gconf-editor06:52
cfochI¨ve just run unity --reset and it closed unity :(06:52
cfochI¨ve lost the window borders06:52
rectecaldwinaldwin, Which version of Ubuntu do you have? Both grub1 and 2 use the same install command06:52
Garpsiloxid: Well, I dont want to argue. The poijnt is that many users not used to the old interfaces were happy with Unity, and find it more usable than what they had before. To me, it looks like a smartphone interface, with seems irrelevant on a multitasking OS with dual-1900x1200 screens, but seems to be simple enough for many.06:53
gaelfxcfoch: probably need to restart your session06:53
rectecI'm on Precise. When I use PulseAudio-Equalizer to boost the bass, I get some software clipping. What can I do about this?06:53
__eagle__siloxid: i did try that but no luck06:53
aldwinaldwinrectec, just clean installed ubuntu 12.04 with a lot of problems, ... was used to Lilo, now had to read a lot about Grub.06:53
Mayazcherquoigaelfx: Yeah, but what setting? :-/06:54
ubuntuhy i have problem witch ntfs partition - when i install 12.04 fatal error grub not instaled in sda1 (ntfs) how to fix this partition in linux ? (live) gparted cant fix it06:54
cfochok06:54
siloxidGarp: all the smartphone interfaces I know of let you see a list of all the apps on the device.  does unity have a way to do that?06:54
rectecaldwinaldwin, know how you feel. been through several installs until everything was proper. ubuntu uses grub2 by default, and should've automatically installed and updated it upon installation.06:55
aldwinaldwinrectec, already have done following : grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/sda06:55
cfochlast question before I restart my session... what folder is unity apperance configuration in ?06:55
gaelfxMayazcherquoi: can't remember exactly which one, can't you search for 'lid'?06:55
rectecaldwinaldwin, have you ran update-grub?06:55
aldwinaldwinrectec, no, not yet ... but if it is grub2, then I know already which tutorial I need to read and try06:56
black_birdsalve06:57
aldwinaldwinrectec, grub1 config and grub 2 config files is very different it seems06:57
black_birdho un problema , chi puà aiutarmi ^06:57
black_bird?06:57
black_birdpuò*06:57
rectecaldwinaldwin, well i hope it works for you. if not, i'm still here and still have some ideas.06:57
aldwinaldwinrectec, thank you, i'll keep you informed06:57
iivvoohi06:58
rectecI'm on Precise. When I use PulseAudio-Equalizer to boost the bass, I get some software clipping. What can I do about this? I'll provide more info if I get a reply.06:58

rectecaldwinaldwin, ttyl06:58
pratzgaelfx: as i am running out of time now06:58
iivvoois it considered a feature that on unitiy (12.04) you cannot resize a window (or at least vim) by dragging the bottom border?06:58
Garpsiloxid: on a smartphone there are  very few apps. On my system there are 4251 executables. I dont know how I could represent them all.06:58
* iivvoo was considereing giving unity another shot but if this isn't even possible...06:58
neattoastiivvoo: Try middle clicking a window if you have a touchpad06:58
shapeHello, I installed 12.04 (fresh install) and I changed button_layout to: ":minimize,maximize,close" and I only get the close button. It also says in gconf-editor that the key is not writable?06:59

siloxidGarp: interesting.  I have more apps on my smartphone (300+) than I do on my main desktop (about 40)07:00
gaelfxpratz: well, VLC is usually pretty good for that stuff, but AFAIK it just uses ffmpeg07:00
cfochI want restart my session but I don¨t have the option to close the session S:07:00
shapeneattoast: And it worked but I can only see the close button on the right.07:00

neattoastshape: weird...07:01
neattoastDid you try using a metacity configurator?07:01
pratzgaelfx: i have no idea how to do it with vlc ?07:01
rectecaldwinaldwin, handy, but why would you need a tutorial? grub2 works out of the box for me...07:01
shapeneattoast: yeah. I think it's a bug, but I just installed the damn thing :(07:01
shapeneattoast: no idea what that is?07:01
neattoastshape: No, I was thinking xfce :)07:01
rectecone sec, booting to ubuntu :)07:01
iivvooneattoast middle-mouse doesn't seem to do any resizing07:01
Garpsiloxid: do a "tab - tab" in a shell window to see how many are installed. And yes, smartphones have fewers apps, but the logig on smartphone (likely due to thie apple stupidity) it to create a lot of applications: like one for each newspaper you read and such things. It would be like having one diffreent browser per website. It's just crazy.07:01
loconuthello, I just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 to 12.04. 12.04 messed up grub, which I fixed. Now I have a fairly simple problem.. my main user account is below id 500, and doesn't show up and it won't let me type a username.07:01
loconuthow do I make gdm/greeter let me enter a username?07:02

neattoastshape: Try using cssm07:02
pratzgaelfx: how to do it with vlc ??07:03
neattoastshape: that configs compiz maybe there is a window option07:03
shapeneattoast: and if that doesn't work reinstall? :(07:03
gaelfxpratz: there should be a transcoding wizard or something like that07:03
pratzgaelfx: is it a plugin ??07:04
shapeneattoast: I'm also using gnome-shell btw07:04
neattoastshape: Or maybe just reinstall gnome shell07:04
shape!nounity07:04
ubottuUbuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic07:04
aldwinaldwinrectec, been busy for 30 hours now. 20+ ways of install ... but i dont give up until I understand what is going wrong. every time I get into the grub terminal, so, I decided to learn the commands07:04
__eagle__siloxid: i did try that but no luck07:04
shapeneattoast: Oh, but it did that before in unity too. :(07:04
recteci'm back.07:04

iivvooneattoast a "Resize manager"?07:05
proq__eagle__: did you change your sources list?07:05
iivvoonoone resizes windows anymore?07:05
neattoastiivvoo: Like an overlay that can resize the window.07:05
neattoastiivvoo: check in cssm07:05
neattoastshape: I would then definantly reinstall gnome-shell07:06
iivvooneattoast thanks for the help/suggestions, but I'm probably better of installing some version of gnome07:06
iivvooor something else that works07:06

iivvooto me resizing windows is a rather basic operation, if unity fails doing that, it's not for me07:06

KM0201tommis: i dunno, it "just worked" for me.. what version of ubuntu?07:08
tommisKM0201: 12.0407:09
gaelfxpratz: it's a little weird how they make you do it, but I think you can select whole directories and whatnot, so it should be relatively easy07:09
Zburatorulneattoast, but i have to have the xfce packaged in some repository first, before i can force anything. right now, they're on on PPA (ppa:mrpouit/ppa), but aptitude can't even see them07:10
KM0201tommis: hmm, weird.. i just installed it and it worked07:10
pratzgaelfx: i guess we can not select a dir , we can only select a file07:10
osseMy 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 but it has no effect, not even the stuff under options. It seems I can change to any other layout and that works. What could be wrong?07:10
neattoastZburatorul: I'd wait. XFCE 4.10 isn't even in arch yet!07:11

petoo!arch07:13
petooare you talking about arch linux?07:13
neattoastZburatorul: Arch linux, they update packages on a very quick basis, but you have to configure a lot yourself (alsa, x)07:13
neattoastpetoo: yes.07:14
gaelfxneattoast: you have to configure pretty much everything yourself :/07:14
tommisi just needed to start indicator-wheather once and no it has added itself to startup programs07:14
neattoastgaelfx: I know. But sometiems it's worth it.07:14
petooDoes anybody know why top shows different numbers for memory consumtion than system monitor?07:15
petoo*top command*07:15
gaelfxneattoast: I agree, it's great fun. Just not something I'm prepared to use on a daily basis07:15
neattoastgaelfx: Agreed.07:15
gaelfxpetoo: system monitor uses more resources than top07:15
aldwinaldwinrectec, upgrade-grub : no joy. Still grub terminal, but figured out now that i only need 2 commands to startup : * kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1  * boot  (somehow this is information that grub still needs somewhere)07:15
Zburatorulneattoast, is it possible to clean my current ubuntu of Unity? i hate having it on the machine even after I switched to xfce07:16

xskydevilxHow to make the Unity sidebar on the left on 12.04 usuable when it's on autohide?07:16
gaelfxZburatorul: most of those are just meta-packages I believe07:16
gaelfxxskydevilx: adjust the sensitivity07:16
rectecaldwinaldwin, how are you having this problem? lol07:16
neattoastZburatorul: yes. unity depends on ubuntu-desktop and vice versa. It is pretty hard to manually configure the package or manually delete.07:16
petoogaelfx, its different story here, top says I am left with only 55MBs and it has consumed nearly 90% , while System. monitor shows that I have 55% more RAM07:17
xskydevilxgaelfx, I still get a rubber band sort of effect, so I have to shake the mouse like crazy regardless of the sensitivity.07:17
aldwinaldwinrectec, I know, nowbody on social media is complaining about it ... so, must be me :)07:17
gaelfxpetoo: maybe sysmon is talking about swap and top is not07:17
gaelfxpetoo: (I know that's not true)07:18
petoonou, it clearly mentions it has not used even a single byte from swap07:18
sirknightxskydevilx, may its the mouse itself?07:18
gaelfxxskydevilx: you know, when you do move the mouse to the left, you have to wait a second or two for it to show up, right?07:19

aknewhopeHow do I install Ubuntu, and Debian for example on the same drive. This drive is specifically for just this. No Windows. Any links?07:47
ReneZIt has the same effect in Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Guess its a flash issue with Ubuntu07:47

taxmani never meet flash issues on ubuntu or windows07:48
Chris_Hgaelfx: I ran Chromium with the 11.04 when it was released. (it too had this issue back then). Now I'm running Chrome on 11.10 release, and it just freezes the whole system after about 15 mins07:48

gaelfxChris_H: also, you should make note of the next time it freezes your system, then look through the logs for any errors at that time07:53
Random832Lint: how is that common sense07:53
Random832what IDIOT thinks that keeping the hibernate option and _just not working_ on gnome/unity, or showing a cryptic permission error on xfce, is in any way a good fix07:53

Lintit is clear that hybernating should be prevented by default, by any means available07:55
kxanyone have problems playing fullscreen video with vlc on multimonitor setup07:55
rba1988it would delete the settings for software packages after upgrading. In my case, the mysql and apache stuff got reset.07:55
Random832Lint: how is that clear07:55
Random832if it were a good idea they should provide a proper explanation07:56
Random832and they certainly shouldn't disable it on upgrades to systems that have hibernated a thousand times before07:56
ReneZgealfx: Using Ubuntu 11.10 and the latest Flash07:56
Random832since clearly those systems have no problem aND the user regularly uses the feature07:56

ikoniashredding: php is not directory based09:08
ikoniashredding: it's either on/off09:08
ikoniabavani: that is the place to get help09:08
kxTrieste: i dont know that ubuntu has made it easy to get rid of the non kubuntu ubuntu stuff. maybe somebody knows. but as the other guys said you can install kubuntu on top of it..09:08
Dadeanyone else having problems with SSL Virtualhosts on apache2 upon reboot?09:08
bavaniPls try to help me09:08
shreddingikonia: it works on root directory.09:08
wo0t99: try search the package and do a wildcard. lol09:09
shreddingI already googles a lot, it's a common problem.09:09
ikoniabavani: that is the correct place to get help, not everything will work with wine, you need to be prepared for that09:09
shreddingHowever, the common solutions did not work.09:09
ikoniashredding: it's not a common problem09:09
bavaniNo its nfsmw09:09
ikoniashredding: php is either on/off within the web server09:09
shreddingWell, let's say i'm not the only one with it.09:09
cfochcfoch don't like to use synaptic09:09
shreddingYes, thats true.09:09
bavaniThe appdb says it works fine09:09
shreddingIt's on.09:10
wo0t99try playonlinux ? or getdeb ?09:10
ikoniabavani: then the people who maintain the winedb (the wine support guys) can help you09:10
shreddingBut apache does not parse php in subdirs.09:10
bavaniHow can i get to them?09:10
cfochcfoch doesn't like to use synaptic * (bad english)09:10
ikoniashredding: again, very unlikley, what's the actual error you get ?09:10
shreddingikonia: It's not an error. PHP scripts are offered for download by apache instead of getting parsed.09:11
shreddingI tried this:09:11

bavaniInstalling DirectX did the trick09:11
cfoch(bad english) what does -cf do?09:11
kxTrieste: have you tried checking the alternate ISO? you may be able to install the entire thing in text mode or install the base, then kubuntu-desktop on top of that. not sure09:12

ikoniashredding: in the web root (where php works) can you give me the name of a file that works please ?09:13
shreddingIt's localhost!09:13
shreddingYou can't access it from the outside.09:14
shreddingMy guess is the following:09:14
ikoniaI don't want to access it09:14
shreddingthe file is named index.php09:14
shreddingI have copied the exact same file in a subdir and it does not work.09:14
ikoniashredding: ok, in the subdirectory if you create a file called index.php with the simple phpinfo command in it, what happens ?09:14
shreddingIt gets downloaded instead of getting parsed09:15
linociscoanybody from Tirana?09:15
ikoniashredding: even if it's called index.php ?09:15
ikonialinocisco: why ?09:15
shreddingYes.09:15

oCeanTrieste: also, control your language here, please09:17

LolostudioHi again. I downloaded the nvidia 295.33 driver to fix my x server crashing problems, but i can't manage to install it; when i run a "sudo bash NVIDIA-Linux-x86-295.33.run" in a terminal i got an error message saying I can't install it while running a x server...seems normal to me, the problem is that I can't switch on console mode cause when I push ctrl+alt+Fx with x€ [1;6], i get a black screen and my screen turn09:22
shreddingwo0t99: same here.09:22
shreddingAh wait!09:23
shreddingSomething has changed.09:23
Dade:)09:23
shreddingI can now access index.php like this:09:23
shreddinghttp://localhost/flow3/Web/index.php09:23
shreddingHowever: http://localhost/flow3/Web/ does not work09:23
wo0t99that directives from your http conf >.<09:23
ikoniashredding: you'll need to update the default index file names in your apache config file09:23
shreddingYou mean httpd.conf?09:24
ikoniashredding: apache2.conf09:24
ikoniashredding: slightly different in ubuntu09:24
wo0t99shredding: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP .. it worth for your reference :)09:24
TzeMWhy in myunity in the begin i see thiw message --> Your Ubuntu 12.04 is running in 2D mode.09:24

Abhijitwhere can i find md5 for 12.04 64 bit? it is not there on download torrent page help09:24
Triesteikonia: the bittorrent links work, though, maybe it's just the HTTP mirrors that are broken?09:25
datruthHow can I use my webcam in kubuntu 12.04?09:25
ikoniaTrieste: I'm sure they will get populated shortly09:25
shreddingOkay.09:25
Abhijit!md509:25
ubottuTo verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows09:25
shreddingOkay.09:26
shreddingikonia: Do you know how to do this?09:27
BoreeasWhile upgrading from 11.04->11.10->12.04, something went wrong with the window renderer: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31575034/Other/Selection_008.png - Hoŵ do I fix that?09:27
oCeanshredding: add index.php to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf09:27
ikoniashredding: DirectoryIndex is the parameter09:27
kxLolostudio: going to need to boot to console or ctlr-alt-fn immediately after booting might work. i had the same problem. just use the recovery boot option09:28
Abhijitis there any gui tool to compare md5 ?09:28
wo0t99Abhijit : usually terminal work best09:29
Dadeshredding: oCean is on to something I agree make sure that index.php is in the file he listed.09:29
LinuxMonkeyGui tool...sure its called Terminal then run appropriate commands.lol09:29
Propuls1onHas anyone ever used devilspie?09:29
oCeanPropuls1on: why not ask your actual question09:30
Lolostudiokx: I nerver did this so i don't really know how to do it...I have to shut it down, then turn it on and on grub, choose the "Linux recovery mode" option? or you meant when I choose the "normal" Linux option in grub, I instantly try to launch console mode?09:30
wo0t99ubottu: !devilspie09:30
ubottudevilspie is a tool that can perform actions on windows when running applications. Actions include resizing, positioning, pinning etc. Use the package gdevilspie to configure from GUI, or see usage information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Devilspie09:30
Propuls1onWell, i'm new here.. not sure how it works..09:30
Abhijitwo0t99, linux4u i mean i remember there was tool in past where i point it to iso and then i copy paste the hash from website and them it tells it they match or not like that09:30
shreddingIt already says: http://pastebin.com/qPV2VWg209:30
Propuls1onBut I'm trying to move windows to certain workspaces automatically.. but if I enter that in devilspie, it doesn't work. However, when I try something like maximizing the window, it does work.09:31
oCeanAbhijit: several cd-burning programs have that09:31
kxLolostudio: either. with the bad driver my terminals would blank out after using x for a while but no immediately after booting. but you might as well use the recovery mode option09:31
AbhijitoCean, i am talking about checking md5 sum and not about burning the cd09:31
wo0t99shredding : how about mod enable?09:32
LinuxMonkeyAbhijit, try hashcalc09:32
oCeanAbhijit: I understand, but burning tools have the capability to check the md5 of the ISO. Besides that, I would use the terminal for something that simple09:32
shreddingwo0t99: You mean mod_enable module.c in httpd.conf?09:32
Lolostudiokx: okay, thanks a lot, I'm going to try it :) and in console mode, i just have to type the same things than in the terminal ( so "cd /home/my_name/downloads" and "sudo bash driver_name.run" ?)09:32
oCeanshredding: no, if dir.conf was in your mods-enabled directory, then there is no need to enable it again09:33
shreddingok09:33
wo0t99shredding: try gksudo /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf and comment #php_admin_value engine off09:34
oCeanwo0t99: why?09:34
wo0t99shredding : and then sudo service apache2 restart, see how it work09:34
StereocaulonAre there any non-unity related problems that I might run into  when upgrading from 11.10?09:35
antnashHey guys. I'm trying to set  cron reboot, but it's just not doing anything. I did sudo crontab -e and added 0 6 * * * reboot   What's wrong with that?09:35
oCeanshredding: are you sure the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file is the default config? Does it include directives as "Include mods-enabled/*.load"09:35
shreddingI already did that woOt9909:35
kxLolostudio: should work. actually i think ubuntu now uses a blacklist stub preventing direct installation of nvidia driver now.. you may have to remove it. theyre doing everything possible now to make it harder to fix your system from their buggy packages.. it was there in 9.10 i dont know if it's still there or the exact procedure.. just be on the lookout and might want to google that first because i dont remember09:35
oCeanshredding: really, in a default installation this all should work. I'm not sure what happened to your installation/config09:35
nlicican i get any answers ?any body who can help ?09:36

Stereocaulonjeampz, are you logged in as root? Which folder are you referring to?09:38
jeampzsorry, okay. So I go into places09:38
Lolostudiokx: aaaaaw, getting complicated x') hum, i'll try first, but if it doesn't work maybe I should wait for the fix...you said (or someone else, I don't remember cause several people helped me) it was reported, so the fix shouldn't be too ;kl09:38

JonathanEllisGood morning. I am running chromium-browser 18.0.1025.151~r130497-0ubuntu1 on ubuntu 12.04. I have only just done a clean install of the distro in the last day or two. Chromium browser crashes randomly, sometimes on startup and sometimes after a while. I have pasted the error messages from the terminal to http://pastebin.com/G6tfkWNn09:39
shreddingBut I do not understand anything that goes on there.09:39
Stereocaulonjeampz, obviously your NAS does not run ubuntu. It sounds as if you are accessing your NAS through a web interface, right?09:40
shreddingI have a linux book but am still at "using vim", the "configure apache" chapter is definitly coming next ;)09:40
WhiskeyWhere can i find Ubuntu 12.04 Minimal CD?09:40

Stereocaulonjeampz, ok,  what protocol did you use to attach to your NAS? ftp, sftp? Did you logon as root on your NAS?09:41
jeampzi'm now using gvfs-mount09:42
jeampzi don't know what root logon means... sorry09:43
Stereocaulonjeampz, Yes, but that's a method, not a protocol.09:43

Stereocaulon!root | jeampz09:43
ubottujeampz: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo09:43

shreddingOn last question: Is there any preinstalled ide (except vim :)) on ubuntu for php?09:45
shredding(I'm at holiday and am actually tethering from my mobile phone.09:45
Stereocaulonjeampz, that protocol won't give you full access to your NAS if it's linux based. For that, you'll need to logon using SSH (if that is possible on your NAS) and as root.09:45
UbuBashershredding; nano is my fav09:46

confusedikonia: sorry for my lack of knowledge but, what exactly do i do with the link you sent me?09:55
FrameFeverdamn it doesnt helped09:56
ikoniaconfused: you need to change the sources list to point at that server, that's where the EOL releases are stored09:56
Stereocaulongreenbrother, try shutting down unneccesary channels that might be a source of crosstalk or distortion. On cheap soundchips, the microphone channel is usually not that separated from the rest. That may be your primary suspect.09:56
blackboxhello! anyone can help. how should i resize my partition Ubuntu Linux ... help please. My partition is too low now they in 3gb more ... i just give 15gb for my Ubuntu Linux..09:56
kxaRn0: that question has yet to be answered, no doubt09:56
rymate1234blackbox, you would use a partition resizer tool09:57
confusedikonia: i'll look around to see where i can do that, thanks much :)09:57
blackboxcan you give me a link ??09:57
rymate1234blackbox, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/09:57
blackboxgparted ?? i have install it and this cannot edit my partition T.T09:58
Stereocaulonblackbox, if you have any NTFS partitions on that box, be sure to check for errors first in Windows.09:58
rymate1234try the live cd edition09:58
greenbrotherwhat you mean with "unneccesary channels"? For example - I'm opened only xbmc media center and loocking film, but this problem stay.09:58
rymate1234I had to use the ive cd partitons to resize my partitons09:58
LinuxMonkeyyeah you cant resize an active partition. :) hence why the live CD works09:59
blackboxwhat error need to checlkk ??09:59
Stereocaulongreenbrother, if you are only listening to audio and not recording in the mean while, your line-in and microphone channels can be shut down without negative consequences. That might even solve the pops you are hearing.10:00
LinuxMonkeyblackbox, just launch your pc via live CD and run gparted from there, it should let you resize it10:00

Stereocaulongreenbrother, unless you are connecting to XMBL through line-in of course.10:01

greenbrotherYeah, I konw that and my mic is shutting down. I'm shure that problem is software problem. In windows i install driver and this is all, but I dont know how I can make that in ubuntu.10:02
XaroHey10:02
Stereocaulongreenbrother, you can toggle mute on any unneeded channels through alsamixer, using [M] when you have selected that channel. Just be sure to re-enable them when you need them10:02
Stereocaulongreenbrother, try this: kill pulseaudio10:04

Stereocaulongreenbrother, try using another USB port and if you are not using one already, use a USB cable with a Ferrite core surrounding the cable to minimize interference.10:14

Hoytconfused: what's the problem you met ?10:15
haylothats right LjL upgrading linux systems is re-dundant. a good one can run for ten years10:15
Ingramwhy does echo "lava" | sed 's/^[a-z]*//' return va instead of nothing?10:16
kxwildc4rd: unstable nvidia drivers, nonfunctional vmware broken package installs etc. you know the  usual10:16
Stereocaulongreenbrother, if the speech and the rest of the audio are on different channels, you can adjust the channels accordingly.10:16
HoytIngram: i returned nothing here10:16
greenbrotherno, they are no on different channels10:16
LinuxMonkeyhaylo, must still be running Slackware 1.010:16
LjLhaylo: that's nonsense. you aren't at least concerned about security? if you aren't, i guess that's your problem, but giving nonsense advice to others is a different thing10:16
IngramHoyt, strange. what's your version of sed?10:16
kxforgot broken wine games10:16
Stereocaulongreenbrother, did you cehck the level of compatibilty of you device on  the linux hardware compatibility list?10:17

HoytIngram: 4.2.1 on arch10:17
trek201how do I turn on wireless networking in ubuntu?10:17
hellosputnikIs this the new official channel for Ubuntu? I always thought the official one was on freenode.10:17
LjLhaylo: right, so when your distribution is no longer supported (thus providing no security updates), what do you do exactly?10:17
LjLhellosputnik: this *is* freenode10:17
Hoyttrek201: is that a laptop ?10:17
IngramHoyt, meh. Everything works fine in arch. I have 12.04 running with 4.2.1-9 and it seems to be broken10:17

haylore- install . not just keep upgrading and wondering why it doesnt work10:17
michlemken-1is there a way to install mysql-server-5.5 ?10:18
Stereocaulongreenbrother, if the problem is intermittent, the notifier sounds from the desktop might cause the interference.10:18
confusedHoyt: i can't do apt-get update10:18
Hoytconfused: yeah , i guess there's no way to fix it , unless you try to compile from source code , but that requires a large number of dependencies10:18
greenbrotherI have saw that ubuntu require intel cpu. My PC is hp sff with intel cpu.10:18
trek201Hoyt: no. but i use to use ubuntu 11 with a laptop and it always just found my wireless and used it. now im using the new 12.04 on a desktop. i installed it with wired networking and i just bought a wireless adpater and plugged it in, but have no idea how to get ubuntu to see it.10:18
Hoytconfused: i'm not sure what LVM depends on , but that requires gcc to be installed10:18
Hoyttrek201: first confirm the drivere (kernel module) is loaded10:19
Hoyttrek201: can you see the interface from *ifconfig -a* ?10:19

Stereocaulongreenbrother ....groan... no I mean the level of linux compatibility of your Presonus USB sound"card".10:19
Hoytconfused: i mean to download the source code from internet , not ubuntu's , but I guess you didn't have gcc installed10:19
Hoytconfused: so it's wasting your time10:20
ikoniaconfused: why are you trying to install LVM on a livecd10:20

Hoytconfused: also if you need lvm , just use alternative cd10:20
ikoniaconfused: ok, so why are you not doing that from your system ?10:20
confusedHoyt: it's the only live cd i have...10:20
greenbrotheryeah, OK, but i have build in audio too and with this audio I haven's "pups" problem, but the problem with effects and speak stay10:20
ikoniaconfused: why are you using the livecd for that ?10:20
Hoytconfused: can you boot from usb ?10:20
nojhanhi, how may I change the default font use by gtk apps when I'm not using gnome ?10:20

ubottuUbuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic10:23

confusedHoyt: what is it for?10:23
ikoniaconfused: do not do it10:23
Hoytconfused: to boot the alternative cd of ubuntu 12.0410:23

phibxrhellosputnik, not in 12.04 at least.10:23
ikoniaconfused: again - ignore what Hoyt is saying10:23
Hoytikonia: what's your solution then10:23
ikoniaconfused: there is no need to do anything10:23
phibxrhellosputnik, it uses a service in the background to install the application, so you can queue up installs and/or close the software center.10:24
ikoniaconfused: boot your system normally, resize your lvm volumes10:24
hellosputnikI see. Thank you, phibxr.10:24

ania__hi is there a way gnome 3 fallback can have weather and date applet in gnome panel??? this is getting more and more ridicolouse11:10
Hoytania__: find a weather indicator applet11:10
marcin82Witaj ania__ ;]11:10
ania__siema11:10
ania__hm11:10
PupuserHi, would a old Pentium4  2.8GHz 1GB RAM, 80GB HDD fast enough to run Ubuntu 12.04 smoothly or Xubuntu 12.04 would be more appropriate?11:11
ania__can click on panels any more.......not even with alt pressed....i really hate thats improvements11:11
aethelrickLinuxMonkey: if you have two separate X screens they are almost like two completely separate logins, you can drag windows between the two and they don't play well together. You will also have separate task bars on each etc.11:11
Hoytania__: yeah , fewer and fewer options to configure11:11
ania__pntium4 easy dont worry you can go with gnome11:11
aethelrickLinuxMonkey: why not use twinview? it will cope with the different screen resolutions11:12
jongbergshi, anybody here who has configured hibernation to work under 12.04 final release?11:12
aethelrick(sorry I typo'd can't to can earlier)11:12
dudendudwell hibernation works only on antarctica11:12
LinuxMonkeynot well when an app goes fullscreen and it looks to go to full width of both monitors x 108011:13
diiddiu so funny11:13
Hoyttrek201: may be install ndiswrapper-dkms ?11:13
erujolcim looking at chris lea PPA for redis-server. https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/redis-server/+packages. presumably given launchpad build the packages the source is available, where can I find the recipe,or at least what option were passed to ./configure?11:13
trek201Hoyt: how11:13
trijntjePupuser: I think so, I run unity on my netbook with 1G 1.6Ghz, and its usable, but not fast11:13
trek201i thought the windows wireless driver program *was* ndiswrapper11:14
hnszLinuxMonkey: Twinview shouldnt do that11:14
aethelrickLinuxMonkey: I run twin view at work main screen 1920x1200 and right screen 1280x1024 I don't have the problem you describe. Is this something program specific?11:14
Hoyttrek201: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-dkms , this will install kernel support of ndiswrapper11:14
hnszaethelrick: Do you have a unitybar in bioth screens?11:14
jriberujolc: debian/rules11:14
aethelricknope11:14
Hoytjongbergs: are your talking about tuxonice ?11:14
LinuxMonkeylet me try again aethelrick11:15
trek201ok, thanks Hoyt11:15
hnszaethelrick: It has some random behaviour sometimes.11:15
minimecLinuxMonkey: Most apps should only go fullscreen on the screen they are on (with twinview).11:15
erujolcjrib, got it, thanks!11:15
rumanhello every one11:15
kapzi need help installing ubuntu on Lenovo Z570 laptop....the problem is with installer, it cannot partition my 750 gb hdd...11:16
jongbergsHoyt: No. Hibernation in 12.04 is disabled by default. I found one site that posted an article last Jan 12 201211:16
aethelrickhnsz, LinuxMonkey: if I want something on the right screen, I just drag it over there… and maximise it. Usually do this with web browser when developing11:16
hnszaethelrick: Me too11:16
kapzhelp please.11:16
Hoytjongbergs: that's sad , i no longer uses tuxonice , since I got a SSD root now11:16
marcin82kapz - what is the result of command from livecd 1. sudo su [Enter] 2. fdisk -l11:16
bluegooberIf monitors r same res there is amode u maybe in causingthat behavior (typi ng on tablet )  xinerama vs extended11:16
marcin82kapz maybe you have "dynamically" disk by MS :D11:17
jribmarcin82: please use « sudo -i », not « sudo su »11:17
jongbergsHoyt: I would want to use the native support for hibernation. I did try tuxonice already, I've encountered intermittent issues with it.11:17
kapzmarcin82, fdisk lists partitions, I have tried syncing as well with fdisk's w option...11:17
MonkeyDustjrib  be careful with advising sudo -i, beginners can ruin their system with it11:18
kapzmarcin82, point is i installed ubuntu 11.10 again and it partitions just fine...11:18
minimeckapz: You have some 'do other things' (I don't remember, how the button is labled) option in the installer.11:18
hnszLinuxMonkey: xinemera should be turned off11:19
bluegooberUse 11.10to partition then install 12.0411:19
LinuxMonkeyhnsz, it is11:19
kapzminimec, thats the problem with installer, it fails to partition properly!11:19
marcin82show result of fdisk -l11:20
MonkeyDustkapz  use gparted in the live session to partition11:20
jongbergsHoyt: I've found similar article which was posted 4 days ago. The same instructions. I'll give it a try. Thanks11:20
minimeckapz: Ok. Did not face that problem, having done 3-4 'precise' installs. I always use that option. I can't help you here, I guess.11:21
kapzMonkeyDust, will gparted do anything better than cfdisk?11:21
MonkeyDustkapz  i don't now cfdsik, but i think yes11:21
MonkeyDustcfdisk*11:21
kapzminimec, yeah I installed 12.04 on another laptop using same cd w/o any problem...11:21
Atlantic777Is there a recommended way for installing Java, JRE, icedtea and everything I need to run a java applet in the browser?11:22
LinuxMonkeyhnsz,  yeah its a wine issue, it gets the resolution shown on the Display since im in twinview shows as 1 monitor  of 3360x1080 instead of 2 monitors11:22
jongbergsAtlantic777: I would recommend using Oracle Java SDK11:23
jongbergsAtlantic777: as it know to work on most web applets11:23
hnszLinuxMonkey: ok11:23
Atlantic777jongbergs: I've seen some PPAs and stuff, is there something official or just to install the SDK from oracle website?11:24
HoytAtlantic777: i use oracle-java7-installer , https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/java , but the post-instation script nees some twick11:24
Hoyttweak11:24
bluegooberAtlantic777 personal i like the non free option, you havefollow there instructions not use repos insome casese11:24
LinuxMonkeyhnsz is there anyway to set a seperate wallpaper on that 2nd monitor?11:24
minimeckapz: Could it be that you have a broken partition table? In that case you would have to create a new one. Beware!! You would loose all data on your disk.11:24
kapzminimec, thanks but tried it already, all in vain....ubuntu doesn't like my laptop11:25
rumancan anyone tell me about dialer software which can work on PRI ,and its CRM too...please help11:26

aethelrickLinuxMonkey: minimec: meh, you shouldn't be seeing the wallpaper if you're busy anyway.11:40

SatisfiedI can't figure this out... when I load up a video on youtube both cores are engaged and run at 80-90%.   I know flash isn't super efficient but that just seems totally wrong.  Is there a command line option to stop flash from using both cores?11:42
minimecaethelrick: Depends on the screen resolution. I never go fullscreen with my running applications... e17 treats each screen as independent screen (even with twinview). That gives you the perfect combination between 'seperate x' and 'twinview'.11:42

When I manage to come in to the system everything works just fine. Is this a HW or SW problem. Mouse is some time hanging in the log in12:16

gaelfxfolks, I hate to say it, but don't you think this discussion is a little o-t?12:38
Lorraauronandace, which says that the fact these open source replacements are imperfect is NOT due to scarce ability of open source developers12:38
minimecHoyt: Well... Thanks... At least I may have a look at it. I noramlly adapt brightness with the hardware keys after boot. ;)12:38
gaelfxLucasCampos: why don't you describe your issue, then we might be able to help you12:38
LucasCamposHehe, I wasn't very specif, was I? I have no sound on my headphones, but I do have it when using my speaker12:38

Hoytit's a legacy bug .. you can't mute when headphones plugged in , donno if it's solved yet12:45
bazhang!notunity | shafeeqes12:45
ubottushafeeqes: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic12:45
LucasCamposgalfx: No, it does not. But it also did not unmute on 11.10, but the headphones worked there12:45
LucasCamposgalfx: I can see there's a version mismatch on my alsa versions. Could it be the source of the problem?12:46

AkaitoraFyodorovna: I updated by using the update manager (the: "New version 12.04 LTS is now available" button). It downloaded as normal and then installed the distro upgrade.

SerythHey. I'm trying to access some photos on an old mobile phone of mine. I plugged it in, and (no surprises!) it didn't do as I hoped. The phone itself says it's connected to a PC, but Ubuntu (11.10) doesn't detect it. Any ideas what to do? It's a Samsung SGH-U700...16:50
FyodorovnaAkaitora, I would not really know what to do, I clone and save all my installs, and fresh install so I have never been in your situation.16:50
AkaitoraI see16:50
pyboytimmy__: what do you need help with16:50
Akaitoraso basically is going with a fresh start16:50
L3topOnHaLT: I don't know how that is possible... not saying you are incorrect... but the installer adds the creation user to the admin group. You could, I guess, boot to a live CD and chroot to the install and add yourself to the admin group that way... but that is very odd.16:50

gmachine_24dude this isn't ebay16:52
timmy__@pyboy the reason why i came here was to look for a more precise answer16:53
jackhadrillI know, but I need WHMCS, and have an old server that I don't use16:53
toschoI didn't finish the update. it wanted to download some package information, but couldn't anymore16:54

toschoso it hang (forever) until i killed it with ctrl-c16:54
jackhadrillAnyone want a free server in return for a WHMCS licence?16:54
upsettoscho: Try Synaptic. It has a great option to automatically fix broken dependencies16:54
marcmupset what's so good about Mono, other than the wet dream of a Monkey?16:54
gmachine_24I was using secure-delete to overwrite the unused portion of my hard drive. Takes forever; is there something faster/better?16:54
upsetmarcm: What is this I don't even16:55
Fyodorovnajackhadrill, you will not get an answer here, this is a support channel for ubuntu16:55
Daekdroomupset, it was mostly unnecessary and took a relevant part of the default CD size.16:55

marcmFyodorovna I was just curious16:57
DaekdroomOnce Banshee was replaced by Rhythmbox, only Tetravex (I think that's the name), which is a game, depended on it. They needed more space on the CD so they removed both from the default install, upset.16:57
upsetDaekdroom: I'm just wondering if I'm necessarily installing some insidious bloatwhere.16:57
Fyodorovnamarcm, you guys could also try #ubuntu-offtopic16:57
Daekdroomupset, there's some strong criticism towards Mono.16:57
gmachine_24easy-gui is it a Kubuntu CD?16:57
upsetDaekdroom: Yes, but what is it? Where can I find it?16:58

ironhalikis there a way to stop x-nautilus-desktop from showing in my bookmarks?16:59
gmachine_24easy-gui, if you are booting from the CD, the CD can't run something that isn't on the CD. I think.16:59
Fyodorovnakrababbel, probably, just released it takes a few days for that special ubuntu tweak.17:00
krababbelFyodorovna: OK thanks17:00
melengohello17:00
Daekdroomupset, it's not yet working with GTK+3. It's based on Microsoft .NET. Some developers claim it's resource-heavy and bloated.17:01
Fyodorovnakrababbel, no sure really but with a release like ubuntu the updates start again soon.17:01
gmachine_24melengo, hi. please ask your question or state your business.17:01
alexfpmsHi everybody :-) Is somebody used the fix (http://www.webalice.it/bernardi82/software/fixplymouth-natty) before ??17:01
krababbelFyodorovna: wasn't sure, I'm used to security only udates and backports like in Debian. :)17:01
easy-guigmachine_24, But KDE on the CD already ... and i think there is a configuration somewhere where i can indicate to startkde for the CD17:02
Fyodorovnakrababbel, hehe ubuntu updates almost everyday enjoy. :)17:02

matelotAnyone on 12.04 has problem with Pidgin sounds ?17:05
Daekdroomupset, I don't see how benchmarking would help17:05
Fyodorovnaeasy-gui, not sure of getting it to default to kde, but you can get a kubuntu only cd, but you know that already I suspect.17:05
gmachine_24wolter, you installed the software for the wireless chipset?17:05
upsetDaekdroom: To show what effect mono-based programs have on resource usage?17:06
woltergmachine_24, I upgraded from 11.10 where I had everything configured and running fine, should I still install this software?17:06
anoobare there any howto to configure a win7 pxe server and install ubuntu through it?17:06
Daekdroomupset, nobody is gonna write something in two different languages to compare the implementation. It's mostly a matter of opinion.17:06
easy-guiFyodorovna, Thanks for advice. But i was just interest that if it is possible ...17:07
Fyodorovnaeasy-gui, there is probably a cli way from the first bot gui on the cd not sure what it is though.17:07

alexfpmsIn Ubuntu 11.04 && 11.10 i used the fix for plymouth to make it work with nvidia proprietary drivers. Now with ubuntu 12.04 it seems not working. But i noticed that if i restart the system during the boot process (using Alt + Ctrl + Del) plymouth works during the next reboot. So i'd like to know if the grub passes different params to the kernel in that case ?? thanks in advance17:07
upsetDaekdroom: I just don't understand how a performance issue could be immeasurable.17:07
easy-guiFyodorovna, can i pm please?17:08
Fyodorovnaeasy-gui, sure but I doubt I can help.17:08
gmachine_24wolter, if there is specialized software for the wireless chipset, then yes. and did you reboot after the upgrade? I'm guessing you had to.17:08
wolterYes, in fact after the first reboot everything started crashing simultaneously, it was after the second reboot that things started to get normal17:09
wolterbut this internet reconnection problem persists17:09

minimecmegabitdragon: I can hardly believe that... Is that partition menitoned in fstab, beiing the /home directory (should imho). That could be the problem.18:26

mads-I have another computer present if that would help in any way18:29
DasEimads-: I don't understand .. you have ubu11.10 and wonto to dist-upgrade ? yes that works18:30
minimecmegabitdragon: hmmm... Well... what now? Did you do that chown procedure while being logged in as the same user. Did you try to do the procedure in 'recovery mode' (grub option)? Maybe that helps.18:30

=== Monotoko is now known as Guest36061
AlanBellsonnhy: skype just works, it installs 32 bit libraries to support it. I am not aware of any other application that is 32 bit only.19:09
DasEishadowspell: sudo service networking stop && sudo service networkingh start              ?19:10
minimecmikubuntu: depending on your language settings 'y'es, could be 'j'a or 'o'ui...19:10

bs0dI am new to ubuntu. Please share your experiences, which ftp / sftp file manager, mysql client, and jabber client do you concider the best for Ubuntu?19:10
mikubuntuminimec, nano still open -- cursor sitting at the end of line "File Name to Write:  /ect/default/grub_ ... (just over Get Help  M-D DOS Format)19:10
theadminAlanBell: There are a bunch. The first example that comes to mind is TeamViewer -- not sure, but it pulls a ton of lib32-* packages on my system.19:10
shadowspellDasEi: unknown instance19:10
gcmxbs0d filezilla for ftp19:11
Monotokolet's try that again, does anyone know where I can talk to some developers? I just need some pointers on fixing my own bug19:11
theadminAlanBell: (That's a non-Ubuntu system, but still, their "64-bit" version relies heavily on 32-bit libs)19:11
mikubuntuminimec, nano still open -- cursor sitting at the end of line "File Name to Write:  /ect/default/grub_ ... (just over Get Help  M-D DOS Format)19:11

AlanBellbs0d: for ftp/sftp I would use the standard nautilus file manager, for mysql I kind of like phpmyadmin (secure it carefully), not sure about jabber.19:11

theadminjonathank89: No problems19:12
minimecmikubuntu: Answer with the first letter of 'yes' in your default system language. If that is not working...19:12
theadminminimec: Just so you know, "y" is always valid and always interpreted as true when apps ask for a yes/no thing over CLI -- no matter the language. Like in Russian I can type "y" or "д".19:13
minimecmikubuntu: ... close the terminal, open another one and type sudo gedit /etc/dfault/grub ...19:13
mikubuntuminimec, its english -- but i'm saying -- i already DID 'contrl' 'X19:13

alankilaIs there a known bug in precise kernel which somehow relates to task_struct slab bloating to something like 200 MB and processes randomly stalling?19:15
DasEishadowspell: sudo ifup eth0  ?19:15
minimecmikubuntu: kill it, open a new one and do 'sudo gedit /etc/default/grub'. you get the editor GUI with the open fiel. Do the changes and save. Then sudo update-grub and reboot19:15
gcmxhelp, can't shut my Ubuntu down. it juz stalls at the Ubuntu sign and the dots keep moving FOREVER!!19:16

gcmxI always have to manually shut the pc down19:17
yaccAny idea how to mount an ecryptfs-ed home directory if I know the passphrase? (Technically speaking my home directory uses the same key, it's a restore of an earlier backup of my box)19:17
theadmingcmx: That happens sometimes. Try appending "reboot=bios" to your kernel line (yes, reboot, weird name for the param I know -- still, it often helps with such problems)19:17
gcmxthanks theadmin, going to try it now :)19:18
sherifhi guys19:18

sherifi have problem with chromium always give me the message "this webpage is not available" especially with twitter19:20
alankilagcmx: I've also noticed that these days it makes a difference if you type "sudo poweroff" vs. "sudo halt". The halt may actually just crash the machine at the end of it, and not power down. Although any screen animation should stop if this is the case19:21

kel_but*19:28
=== altin_ is now known as altin
alankilatheadmin: ah. Okay, now I get it. I think the heuristics are complicated, but it must go something like this: the version string is tokenized to numbers and alphabet strings, and numbers are sorted numerically and strings alphabetically, I guess.19:28
aberonkel_, it brings up the same packages19:28
DasEishadowspell:  pastebinit /etc/resolv.conf19:28

bcuraboyguys,i've runned the usb disk creator that comes with ubuntu 12.04 to make an installation of ubuntu 12.04 on other pc.but it stucks at some point...19:29
kel_unintall everything19:29
alankilatheadmin: this scheme at least provides something that should look and feel a whole lot like the version preference used by the package manager, and in general the cases are easier, like only the last digit is different, say -1 to -2, or -1 and -1ubuntu1 (apparently the longer string is preferred)19:29
bcuraboyi've downloaded the .iso file from the ubuntu site19:29
bcuraboyand the pen is 8gb size19:29
bcuraboywhat could be wrong?19:29
kel_restart your systen aberon and then install both openjava6 and openjava719:29
kel_see if anything is in the configeration file at that point19:30
kel_no matter if you use 7 or not19:30
kel_something should show up19:30
theadminalankila: It's a strange scheme generally... How would hex version numbers get interpreted (some vcs's do that)? Like would "f" correctly get put above "9"?19:30

theREALjoshbeitlpyboy: I made him mad on a Minecraft server20:11

eph3meralso I (thought) I configured my Ubuntu 11.10 Server Virtual machine to be an XDMCP Server, but I still can't get my windows host to connect to it... I've opened UDP 177 and TCP 6000 on my vbox NAT, but still no love when attempting to connect from MobaXTerm, any suggestions? most of the tutorials out there are not very descriptive or informative, I've been googling for a while now20:13
dabeast_How do I set the boot flag off on a NTFS partition???20:13
bs0dguntbert: and another issue, /etc/hosts seem not to be read. I have checked /etc/nsswitch.conf host file dns .... so first lookup should be to /etc/hosts, but I get ns query instead to ( localhost ! dns server )20:13
bs0dweird20:13
guntbertbs0d: I am surprised as well20:13
eph3meralanyone else have experience configuring and connecting to an XDMCP server?20:13
theadmindabeast_: sudo cfdisk /dev/sda, find your NTFS partition, select "Boot", it will set it off, then select "Write". Finally, "Quit".20:13

YerushalmiI have a Firefox extension that puts the RSS feeds in my bookmarks in bold/faded out, depending on if they have new/unread items. It doesn't work at all in the standard login (the one called "Ubuntu"), presumably because the menu is detached from the window, instead appearing in the upper bar; instead, the entire menu is in the same face. It works, however, in "GNOME". Anybody know how to...20:18
Yerushalmi...get it working in "Ubuntu"?20:18
bs0dguntbert: it must have been installed from installation cd by installer and now from apt20:18
guntbertbs0d: read what trism sent you20:18
theadminYerushalmi: This is a radical solution, but if you "sudo apt-get remove firefox-globalmenu" the menu will go back to it's "normal" position rather than being in the upper bar.20:19
trismbs0d: only dnsmasq-base is installed by default20:19
bs0dtrism: that's what I have running here .. I'm reading article you sent me link to .. hope I'll be able to get rid of it :)20:20
Yerushalmitheadmin: I like this idea, actually. I never did like the global menu. I wonder if it'll work.20:20
theadminYerushalmi: If you don't like the global menu entirely, you can get rid of it for all the apps with "sudo apt-get remove appmenu-gtk appmenu-qt"20:20
guntberttrism: according to !info dnsmasq-base it should be optional -- is there a bug somewhere?20:20
minimecYerushalmi: The first thing I do after a ubuntu insatll is to uninstall all appmenu-* packages and firefox-globalmenu. It works ;)20:21
bs0dtrism: well, its just describing dnsmasq .. but how to turn it off totally, that it's not run upon boot? I do not see it in "Autostart" programms list :(20:21
Yerushalmitheadmin: Shiny! I'll do that. I wish there were a simple setting I could do instead of having to uninstall it. Let's see if it works (I'm running GNOME right now, so I'll have to log out to find out)20:21

sbauerWhat's up20:28
sbauerpininja are you using wine?20:28
PiNinjasbauer: Yes.20:28
trismguntbert: optional doesn't mean that a package isn't installed by default, in this case it is a dep of network-manager which is recommended by ubuntu-desktop20:28
drPoOhow can i remap the Ctrl+Alt+T behaviour to a different program??20:28
theadminPiNinja: #winehq for wine support, http://appdb.winehq.org may be helpful too20:28
sbauerPiNinja, that's probably more a wine related problem, more so than a ubuntu problem. I would suggest visiting wine's help channel.20:29

abhinavmehtaI know, I can solve this error…but I want to know, why I'm getting this..?20:30
Yerushalmitheadmin: I guess there aren't many programs that customize their menus with colors and the like, so nobody really noticed it as being an issue.20:30

FredFuchsMonkeyDust when I booted the 11.04 disc it said I could do that if I wished?20:42
yaccJust making sure, could it be that there is no way to mount an arbitrary ecryptfs "underlying fs" on some random mountpoint without resorting to coding it oneself?20:42

cfedderelease party in north denver today.20:44
FredFuchsMonkeyDust I upgraded to 12.04 which is currently installed to my HDD. Currently it's tripping over it's self and doesn't work. So I wondered if I could simply downgrade to 11.10 and not have to fully backup,wipe and install.20:44
Dukehi all :) i installed Ubuntu 12 from USB at my laptop but.... it works only when USB stick is pluged in. Otherwise i see a black screen :( any word of advise?20:45

abshey, my laptop keeps getting ridiculously hot (it's dualboot one -- win7, and I put 12.04 on it recently). I should mention that when on win7 it doesn't get NEARLY as hot. Any tips?20:47

absIḿ thinking itś because of the nvidia drivers. Should I get rid of them and use the opensource ones? Can someone please briefly describe how I would do this?20:49
Dukeabs: i have the same problem but it gets extremly hot and noisy under windows vista.20:49
AbeFMDuke: How many tries at rebooting? I tried recovery mode.... And safe graphics mode, and kept rebooting, eventually I got in and first thing I did was put on nvidia drivers20:49

jwrigleybbbbbbbb: have you tried to up the sound? sometimes unmute won't work for me, but if I just up the sound, it still works21:21
BsimsI'd have to agree with eph3meral... Nvidia is a closed blob, but their hardware is fast, and the drivers are stable. Intel is quite enough for light to mid gamers, the drivers work and are GPLed... ATI is fast but the drivers are crap on any OS21:22

danielI have a question about getting my wireless chip to work. I am using an HP Mini 1030NR with Ubuntu 12.04 desktop installed. My ethernet works just fine, but my wireless is "disabled by hardware switch" - wireless chip is a Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)22:00

adek05daniel: have you got a switch to turn on/off wireless?22:01
L3topwell... you want it to be there, and empty... so not rename exactly, but you could cp it to a backup file djp. If you rename it and create it again you must check that the permissions etc are teh same... this is why I use it. It is an easy way to make an empty version of anything.22:01
ulkeshhey has anyone successfully gotten PlayOnLinux to store files on a different drive?  I run Ubuntu on an SSD and don't want Wine/etc storing files on it (I have a normal SATA drive for that)...should I simply install/configure Wine and not try to use PlayOnLinux?22:02

danieladek05: I have a switch on the front of the machine that is supposed to be able to toggle the wireless from on to off - however, it has no effect under this OS. I have tried switching it, holding it, and rebooted several times to make sure it wasn't just a fluke.22:04

APouloshey guys22:42
jfreak53ubottu: yeah but shell and fallback are NOTHING at all like gnome 2 :), even indicators don't work right on it22:42
ubottujfreak53: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)22:42
APoulosCan someone tell me exactly how to add a git repo?22:42
pers0nFirst... I have no net connection. <-- stupid newb and I also have no 'sudo' available. I tried to do a recovery and change the /etc/sudoers file, but I could find nothing wrong with it, through what was shown to me on a how-to. Any ideas?22:42
wyldejfreak53: there's also ummm cinnamon? Some mint thing I think is where that comes from. I read it's also similar.22:42
milamberqwd: have you done: gpg --verify <file>.asc22:43
jfreak53wylde: Hmm, I'm gonna have to Vbox test this with 12, if I can get something liek gnome 2 I would upgrade :)22:43
L3toppers0n: you need to add your user to the admin group, I am not sure why your user is not already...22:43
cherylIs there a problem with the ubuntu website?? :(22:43
trismjfreak53: in what way do the indicators not work right?22:43
cherylI want to d/load the latest vers....22:43
L3topbrb baby crying22:43
pers0nIt was said there is no admin group.22:43
APoulosAlso, btw, APTonCD sucks. doesn't help at all. I tried reinstalling and the bloody thing didnt copy any of my libs22:43
wyldejfreak53: best way to try things out :)22:43
usr13pers0n: Are you logging into the original user, (the one that was created when the OS was initially installed)?22:43
MTughanSince Google seems to be failing me here, is there any way to see what programs are accessing my hard disk? The LED is dead, so I don't know if something's constantly hitting the HDD or not.22:43
pers0nwhen I tried to add my self.22:43
pers0nuser13 yes.22:43
jfreak53trism: I only tried it once in shell mode, it was wierd, the icon's just popped all over the place and didn't stay.  It was wierd but awhile ago so I dont remember exactly22:43
icerootMTughan: iotop22:43
masterofpcAPoulos, do you mean creating a new git repository?22:43
jfreak53wylde: Yeah but until 12.04 came out I didnt have a desire ha ha, nor time right now to try :(22:44
usr13pers0n: That's a bit strange.  Have you tried failsafe mode?22:44
irvkenMTughan, top22:44
milamberMTughan: are you looking for the command: top22:44
APoulosmasterofpc, no I  mean connecting to a Git repo because im trying to get the latest version of ffmpeg22:44
MTughanirvken: top just shows CPU and memory usage, IIRC.22:44
qwdmilamber: Yeah it's the correct file but I want to be able to do it from Nautilus by just opening the file. I know it's supposed to work as that's what I did in Debian.22:44
MTughaniceroot: Thanks, installing now.22:44
APoulosmasterofpc,  maybe I don't fully understand the way the git process fully works22:44
helo1jfreak53: okay so this worked: "./checkservers.sh  | sudo sendmail -s 'Net Status' adayforgotten@yahoo.com" Without the 'sudo', I got a permission denied message.22:44
L3topusr13: pers0n this is the second case of this reported today.22:45
jfreak53helo1: hmm, one sec brb22:45
helo1jfreak53: It also did not send with the subject I used. It just had no subject at all.22:45
usr13pers0n: I suppose you could boot from the CD and then add your user to the sudoers file. Oh, I see, you have no admin group?22:45
pers0nusr13 Not sure what that is, but I tried adding my user to admin through recovery but I cannot find what is wrong with /etc/sudoers file and the group 'admin' doesn't exist.22:45
milamberqwd: not sure about the gui, but a quick google came up with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1909950.html22:45
masterofpcAPoulos, okay so you probably want to checkout/clone, try writing this in a terminal: git clone git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg22:45
tomatto_ubottu: i am using 12.04 version now22:45
pers0nYes...22:45
ubottutomatto_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)22:45
L3toppers0n: To do this you are going to have to boot to the live disk or another nix on the same machine, and chroot into the drive and add your user t22:45
L3topthere*22:46
tomatto_wylde: i am using 12.04 version now22:46
APoulosmasterofpc, what exactly does that command do?22:46
djpL3top: chroot failed to run command "/bin/bash": Exec formant error22:46
tomatto_jfreak53: i am using 12.04 version now22:46
L3toppers0n: just catching up22:46
djp(yes, as root)22:46
jfreak53tomatto_: yeah is g2 there :) ha ha22:46
wyldetomatto_: yeah that factoid needs to be update but it's the same for precise. You can use gnome-panel and gnaom-fallback.22:46
L3topdjp: thats the second time I have run into that as well...22:47
wyldebah, pardon the typos22:47
=== warfaren_ is now known as warfaren
masterofpcAPoulos, it 'clones' the git repository, i.e. it downloads all files from the git server to ffmpeg/...22:47
djpbut I'm in "bash"..22:47
pers0nL3top- i used Wubi to install... will that cause troubles trying to edit it with a live cd?22:47
djpxterm anyways..22:47
k014hello everyone!, i am trying to zip some files with encryption, but i also want the file list encrypted, how can i do that?22:47
k014i am doing:22:47
k014zip -e foo *22:47
wyldepers0n: I don't have an admin group either, it's 'adm' on this box.22:48
milamber!info seahorse-nautilus | qwd22:48
pers0nwylde I will try that.22:48
ubottuqwd: seahorse-nautilus (source: seahorse-nautilus): seahorse plugins and utilities for encryption in GNOME. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.3.1-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 179 kB, installed size 1458 kB22:48
qwdmilamber: ah yeah, now I remember that seahorse-utils is needed, but I already have that installed. For some reason it thinks it should decrypt the signature instead of verifying it22:48
djpL3top: next clue?22:48
L3topdjp: it is indicative of the jailed environment not having bash or the libraries required to execute it... so it is on the drive you are chrooting into, not your host environment22:48
Flannelwylde: Is this a fresh install of 12.04?  Do you have a 'sudo' group?22:48
newbie_ubuntuanybody knows where to find driver for my vga, intel gma 4500mhd?22:49
APouloswell that was weird.. lost connection22:49
Erealz if you add 127.0.0.1 to proxychains it will run thru tor and proxies!22:49
wyldeFlannel: it was installed back in alpha but I've not had an admin group at any point.22:49
L3topWell... I take that as a bad sign djp. pers0n if you were able to chroot in, then it shouldnt make any difference.22:49
APoulosanyways - masterofpc what exactly is a git repo?22:49
djpL3top: I'm a bit confused by the question..22:49
Flannelwylde: right, do you have a 'sudo' group, not an 'admin' group?22:49
k014hello everyone!, i am trying to zip some files with encryption, but i also want the file list encrypted, how can i do that? (i am using: $ zip -c foo * )22:49
L3topnewbie_ubuntu: I have told you 3 times what you need to do in order for me to help you.22:49
wyldeFlannel: moment, I'll ssh into my server and see if it has one. I just updated it yesterday.22:49
masterofpcso, APoulos, git is a kind of version control system22:49
APoulosmasterofpc, similar to synaptic?22:50
wyldeFlannel: I have sudo and adm22:50
k014i have a lot of experience in git, can i help?22:50
tomatto_gnome-shell?22:50
APoulosk014,  sure hop on in22:50
djpL3top: i appreciate the help amigo, btw22:50
pers0nGuess I didn't want Grub anymore... booting straight into windows... yay. Might have to give up for the day.22:50
newbie_ubuntuL3top: my screen blank, and i need driver for my vga22:50
koalawhazzup22:50
masterofpcAPoulos, not exactly, it just keeps track of files and their changes22:50
koalago to additional drivers22:50
koalanewbie ubuntu22:50
L3topI want to try an experiment djp. Is this a desktop machine?22:51
djpyep22:51
Flannelwylde: 'sudo' is the old admin.  As of 12.04 it's been migrated (admin group, if it existed, will continue to function, but its deprecrated)22:51
L3topnewbie_ubuntu: ctrl alt f2 on the machine with the blank screen. login. sudo apt-get install pastebinit22:51
wyldeFlannel: ahh alrighty.22:51
apavlovHey ubunters. I'm failing to start up wifi on a Lenovo B560 running 12.04 (BRCM4313, PCI ID 14e4:4727). Seemingly, studied every forum thread out there on the net, ended up with the wl driver running for the eth1 device, but it stays "Hard blocked", as said by rfkill, and won't get unblocked (rfkill unblock all). This worked fine with 11.04 on the same laptop but got broken after an update to 12.04. Any one has had positive experience bringing this thing22:51
apavlov up?22:51
APoulosmasterofpc, ill be back, xchat for gnome sucks. switching to regular xchat22:52
masterofpck22:52
jfreak53helo1: Hmm, with sendmail installed mail isn't giving me any trouble22:52
L3topdjp, shut the machine down and plug the HD into the next avail port.22:52
jfreak53helo1: what version of Ubu are you on?22:52
Delemashmm weird it seems to be related to a liblsp.so.1 which isn't owned by any package...22:52
helo1jfreak53: 10.0422:52
djpL3top: yikes!22:52
L3topdjp: boot to live disk, and we will mount it and diddle with it22:52
masterofpck014, I think you cant encrypt the file names in a zip directly, you'd need to double zip them22:53
TheSimkinanyone know what ubuntu+1 has become invite only?22:53
TheSimkinerr why.22:53
djpI'm seeing the drive now, you think moving it might help?22:53
wyldeFlannel: ahh I see now, I upgraded my 10.04 box to 12.04 yesterday and it has the admin group.22:53
vadi2Has anyone else had success with enabling the 'unredirect fullscreen windows' in 12.04 on nvidia?22:53
darklordBa22:53
APoulosalright22:53
FlannelTheSimkin: there is no +1 version currently (12.04 was released)22:53
djpit's SATA22:53
APoulosmasterofpc, im back in22:53
masterofpcAPoulos, wb22:53
TheSimkinFlannel: isn't there always a new +1 ?22:53
minimecapavlov: Might sound strange. I jus did a 'reset to defaults' of the BIOS on a x121e, and got my 'hardblocked' bluetooth working like that. Also I had no chance to get it working with rfkill.22:53
TheSimkinFlannel: is there a way to tell ubuntu to download the latest updates.. just not instlal them til i say so?22:53
jfreak53helo1: try installing mailutils package and try 'mail' command again22:54
TheSimkinit'd be nice if 12.04 was all ready to install :)22:54
k014masterofpc thx you22:54
L3topI don't know exactly WHAT the problem is, but this exact same situation was resolved doing this, so I am really more curious about what it implies if we can magically chroot djp. It has very little to do with fixing your machine.22:54
koalahow can i find out the IP of my router at home ?22:54
apavlovminimec: hmm, weird, but worth giving a try...22:54
APoulosmasterofpc, thank you good sir22:54
koalai played with DHCP now i dont know my ip22:54
koalaso im locked out22:54
FlannelTheSimkin: No, Q hasn't been opened yet.  Toolchain will be uploaded on the 3rd.22:54
FlannelTheSimkin: -d (or --download-only) will do that.22:55

robgravesOk, I'm trying to figure out how to clear out what's stored in my Ubuntu One account, now I know there's the Ubuntu One folder in home, but the majority of what's using  my 5 gb's is the backup i did the other day, i wanna delete that, anyone know how?22:55
=== duvel is now known as duv3l
FlannelTheSimkin: That's with apt-get, of course.22:55
masterofpcAPoulos, so git basically just gives you the ability to track changes in files, and then also to fork (split) repositories, and merge them back again22:56
duv3lSo... I loaded ubuntu 12.04 LTS -- It's showing my Display as "LAPTOP" when I'm clearly using a desktop with 3 25.5" monitors... Any idea what the problem is?22:57
Thunderhawkhello all22:57

aos21join #anonymous22:57
ThePendulumI just installed 'Synergy' and the program just disappeared, although it is installed. I can't find it, nor start it using a command. Any idea if a restart will make the program show up?22:58
djpwell let me see if I can get back into recovery mode for real22:58
ratcheerrobgraves: The first thing I would try is logging onto Ubuntu 1 web page, clicking the Files tab, and see if you can delete them from there.22:58
duv3lvadi2, i tried reinstalling drivers etc -- still broken. I can only get 1 of my monitors to work. How sad :\22:58

Thunderhawki was wondering if anyone has ever changed the single-user passwd when GRUB was not installed22:58
vadi2duv3l: have you tried using the nvidia settings utility? however that only easily goes up to 2 only, using twinview22:58
vadi2duv3l: I'm assuming you're on nvidia that is22:58
lolawhat happends with minimalized aplications with cairo dock??22:59
duv3li am, correct, i have 2 evga gtx 560 graphics cards22:59
vadi2ahh. one gtx 560 here. on one giant display.22:59

duv3lyeah22:59
duv3li just got 2nd monitor working22:59
vadi2right22:59
duv3lI assume they still dont have 3 monitor support?22:59
duv3lif not thats a deal breaker and im uninstalling.22:59
vadi2well, not as smooth as 2 monitors. poke around on nvidia forums / email customer support, I think people do have 3 monitors working23:00
rfictuswhere can I see all the kernel settings in Ubuntu ?23:00
Thunderhawkduv3l you can have up to 4 monitors if u r running a dual video card system23:00
trismrfictus: /boot/config-$(uname -r)23:00
vadi2or yeah configure the 3rd to work on the other gfx card23:00
duv3lokay23:01

ROdodrigounity sucks, canonical should work WITH Gnome team to make gnome shell better instead of create something that bad, slow, and overload23:02

vadi2duv3l: oh so is the 2nd card working?23:02
Thunderhawki was wondering if anyone has ever changed the single-user passwd when GRUB was not installed23:03
jfreak53helo1: Awesome!! Glad it worked23:03
vadi2duv3l: either way: this is a bit outside of the ubuntu ecosystem, you're in nvidia's land at this point23:03
duv3lshows that the 2nd card is working23:03
jfreak53helo1: seems you needed an MTA and that wasn't installed ha ha dumb me at times ha ha23:03

jfreak53bcuraboy APoulos: more like 11.04 ;) ha ha23:11

jfreak53bcuraboy: yeah but Alternate installer or GUI installer?23:13
APoulosbcuraboy: when you're running on only 2GB of ram and 1GHz processor, you're best bet is to get 11.04 on it23:13
jfreak53bcuraboy: because I highly doubt the GUI installer will work on that system :)(23:13
duv3llater guys!23:13
bcuraboyhmmm i see23:13
RevHelixbcuraboy: no no no.. aside from the media are you just trying the pretty install or are you using the alternate text install23:13
jfreak53bcuraboy: 11.04 and Alternate installer! :)23:13
APoulosbcuraboy: also, if you want to install it from usb - use Unetbootin23:13

tbrownMan people are so gay on this chat room they dont even answer you...23:15

jfreak53wylde: no because of his specs23:16
RevHelixtbrown: may i recommend gentoo?23:16
bcuraboyunity or gnome it's not that important23:16

Thunderhawkwylde: the password encryption is using blowfish23:17
kel_it just came out last year bcuraboy23:17
apavlovminimec: yeah, really weird. Time to go to sleep for me, though. Bye, keep up giving the good advice! :-)23:17
RevHelixtbrown: you will come out a man...23:17
APoulostbrown: gentoo is for the more advanced23:17
bcuraboybut from 11.04 i can upgrade to other versions,right?23:17
APoulostbrown: if you are just starting id use ubuntu23:17
youdytbrown: gentoo is okay. it's just more work initally.23:18
jfreak53bcuraboy: it's not suggested, you just cant run unit on that system23:18
APoulosbcuraboy: yes, but why would you want to23:18
jfreak53bcuraboy: sorry unity not unit ha ha23:18
minimecapavlov: My laptop once runned out of battery. after charging, bluetooth was hardblocked again. Guess what I did. Reset BIOS, and it wirked again... ;)23:18
RevHelixtbrown: I'd also not call everyone gay, you will get helped in another manner..23:18
wyldeThunderhawk: ahh no idea then sorry. I don't do encryption. I'm just a lowly home user ;)23:18
jfreak53man my hands dont work today23:18
APoulosbcuraboy: in fact, 11.04 is still widely supported23:18
bcuraboybecause that pc is not mine,and the unity interface is very simple to these kind of people23:18
L3topYes tbrown, we are just in here chatting about life... but now that you have called me gay... I really am motivated to scroll back and find you answer so I can  help. Try rm -R /         That will probably fix your issue. (people should not do that... it is a joke and dangerous)23:18
jfreak53APoulos: I still use it on all my systems :) ha ha23:18

L3topand wrong without the *...23:19
jfreak53bcuraboy: very very slow ha ha23:19
tbrownAWWWWW Everyone is say if you are a first user of linux use Ubuntu It sucks Sorry Ubuntu Fans I like Ubumtu 10.04 better than 12.04 or 11.10 it just layout edition of a tablet.23:19
APoulosbcuraboy: thats the great thing about ubuntu - like jfreak53 said, you dont need to upgrade with ubuntu because most programs are supported on most versions of ubuntu, I still see packages for 9.04 supported23:19
bcuraboyso you strongly suggest 11.04??23:19
RevHelixdd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda23:19
wyldeThunderhawk: how are the machines booting? You have to have some sort of bootloader.23:19
APoulostbrown: then use 10.04?23:19
jfreak53bcuraboy: strongly ha ha23:19
Myrttitbrown: did you have a Ubuntu support question or problem?23:19
jfreak53I still use 8 on 3 school system's were running ha ha, it's nice with LXDE :) ha ha23:20
masterofpcRevHelix, lol23:20
APoulostbrown: btw, you can change both of those to look like 10.0423:20

wylde!flavors | tbrown23:20
ubottutbrown: !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio,  !Mythbuntu, and !Lubuntu23:20
Myrttitbrown: this is a support channel, not a general chatter channel for you to bounce opinions from23:20
Thunderhawkwylde: the server just boots up to a gui login23:20
wyldeThunderhawk: ok then you'll have to reboot, and hold the shift key after the bios to get the grub prompt.23:21
tbrownMyrtti: Man calm down if you were smart enough I ask a qestion the first time no one said anything23:21
L3topInteresting countfuzzball... I would hope that it just gave a super warning requiring exact read input.23:21
APoulosbtw bcuraboy - if you start typing someone's name on the irc, hit the tab key so you can direct the messages to us so we can see them better23:21
Thunderhawkwylde: it does not ask me to choose a kernel to boot23:21
kel_wonder why everyone feels they need to have the newest release, same old thing just in a fresh package.23:21
jfreak53bcuraboy: trust me they won't notice, try another window manager then, there are many.  I still use Ubu 8 on 3 systems at our school. Old in Linux doesn't always mean old :)23:21
APouloshere's an example - hi bcuraboy23:21
tbrownAm going to download Gentoo23:21
tbrownAnd try it23:21
Thunderhawkwylde: i tried that and it did not work23:21
wyldeThunderhawk: probably because there is only one OS on the machine. If you hold the shift key after the bios it will load the menu.23:21
APoulostbrown: have a fun time taking on pandoras box23:22

APoulosThunderhawk: wylde what are you guys trying to repair?23:23
tbrownOh my gosh Gentoo is about 135 MB that is a small ISO23:23
wyldeThunderhawk: before we get into anything. What exactly is your end goal?23:23
L3topkel_: security updates... in my circumstance. I can't live on a dead distro... and newer hardware support. For instance now we are on 1004, but there are throngs of new chipsets for nvidia, some even with a new vdpau revision, that we cannot support because we are pinned to so much underlying architecture.23:23
Thunderhawkwylde: the keyboard is an old ps/2 keyboard and it is not picking up the shift key signal until it is time to login23:23
tbrownOh my gosh Gentoo is about 135 MB that is a small ISO23:23

WeaponizedHello all. I'm setting up a samba server for our work. I used samba about a year and a half ago, but I could not get a computer with windows on it to delete a file from the samba server. Anything I should know before I get started?23:24
Thunderhawkthe servers are 1U rack systems23:25
tomatto_anyone who tried to compile qt static in ubuntu?23:25
=== mk_ is now known as breindrain
L3topROdodrigo: the swat guys are really awesome at building debian specific updated drivers. I have not tried to diff the stuff coming from nvidia or them... but they really always have the bleeding edge stuff pretty stable.23:25
APoulosThunderhawk, wylde this is important, is your computer you're trying to configure a laptop?23:25
masterofpcWeaponized, you need to watch the permissions in the samba config file, thats all23:25
dresdenis there a problem with USB 3.0 in Precise?23:26
wyldeAPoulos: <Thunderhawk> the servers are 1U rack systems23:26
APoulosdresden: what are you using to install it from usb?23:26
bcuraboyAPoulos, so which would be the fastier to install on a laptop with that specs??23:26
ThunderhawkAPoulo6: no it is a server that i am trying to fix23:26
dresdennone of my usb 3 ports work23:27
APoulosbcuraboy: well, like I said man, I ran 11.04 - for the longest time, its good, clean, quick and gets the job done.  If you install it onto a cd - set the burn speed to the LOWEST POSSIBLE BURN SPEED to prevent from any errors with the files23:27
wyldeThunderhawk: so, you're working on this server and you don't have a user account with access to sudo? You also mentioned encryption. Home directory encyption or the entire filesystem?23:28
bcuraboyAPoulos, ok,maybe i'll follow your advice23:28
masterofpcWeaponized, most important option is security = user, so you can do user managment with smbpasswd, although this is nothing ubuntu specific23:28
Thunderhawkthe encryption i think is the entire filesystem23:29
jfreak53APoulos: :facepalm:!! ha ha ha ha23:29
newbie_ubuntuis there any driver for my vga intel gma 4500mhd, i have tried to search it, but none23:29
wyldeThunderhawk: ok, unless you have a user account with some form of admin (root) access I have no idea how to help you. Sorry.23:29
APoulosbcuraboy: if you're installing from usb, go grab Unetbootin - http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/, then download the ISO - http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/ - make sure its the one for your system - 32bit or 64bit - then use Unetbootin to put it on the usb23:30
Thunderhawkwylde: the user acct that is there has sudo access, but is the only acct and at the same time is the one with the encryption23:30
shadykhanhow do i give my self permission to a folder?23:30

shadykhanalso how can i check the current permissions?23:30
jfreak53shadykhan: chmod 777 would give everone permission23:31
Thunderhawkwylde: the only accts on the server is the 1 user and root23:31
qwdnewbie_ubuntu: you already have it. no need to install anything.23:31
APoulosshadykhan: chmod u+x23:31
shadykhanthanks23:31

lousygaruahow do i use the nouveau driver instead of the nvidia one that doesn't work as of now?23:32
lousygaruaon 12.0423:32
wyldeThunderhawk: yes ok, the whole point to encryption is to prevent access. It's well beyond my ability to do myself, let alone instruct someone over irc how to do it. Sorry.23:32
minimeclousygarua: disable the nvidia driver in 'Additional drivers'23:33
Thunderhawkis there anyone on here that might know wylde23:33
lousygaruaminimec: there's no nvidia driver there. that's the problem in the first place23:33
newbie_ubuntuqwd: my screen blank, so what is the problem then23:33
jfreak53Thunderhawk: why?23:33
wyldeThunderhawk: hang around and re-ask around every 20 minutes. also...see the following factoid.23:33
lousygaruaminimec: there's some problem with nvidia and their driver for the current x server version as i understood23:34
wylde!patience | Thunderhawk23:34
ubottuThunderhawk: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/23:34

acestuffHey. When I go onto ubuntu.com, the download link is to ubuntu-xxx-amd64.iso but I have Intel chip! Is this actually the download that I need?23:34
minimeclousygarua: So you are probably using the nouveau driver. You can check that typing 'lsmod |grep nouveau' in a console.23:34
jfreak53acestuff: only if you have a 64 bit system23:34
jfreak53acestuff: goto the releases site, click the other download link23:34

DadeI have a few SSL Virtualhosts and they work fine until I restart the box. Then all of the SSL virtualhosts point to the directory listed in default-ssl. If I restart Apache2 service manually everything works as intended. any ideas?23:35
wyldeThunderhawk: wish I could do more, but I honestly think if the filesystem is encrypted you're going to need that users password.23:35
=== ryan is now known as Guest80376
lousygaruaminimec: btw, on the live cd (usb for me) it did run the nouveau driver and it did get listed with lsmod23:35
lousygaruaminimec: it's not listed with lsmod. hmm maybe it's because my laptop falls back to the regular graphics card?23:35
acestuffjfreak53: yes I have a 64 bit system. I can't get ubuntu to boot correctly though... Why does it have amd in the name?23:35
youdytbrown: all you are going to get is rtfm and with good reason, your question is stupid.23:36
minimeclousygarua: regular would be intel? in that case 'lsmod |grep i915'23:36
Thunderhawkjfreak53: because of the encryption type, which is blowfish 1024 iterations23:36
newbie_ubuntuhey, i have just install ubuntu 12.04, but after restart my screen became blank, so i edit my grub, and add nomodeset to my grub, and it works, but every i restart my laptop it became blank again, pls help me23:36
jfreak53acestuff: just because you have a 64 bit system doesn't mean you have to install 64 bit OS. You only need 64 bit ubu if you plan on doing video intensive things or picture intensive23:36
jfreak53acestuff: plus some programs are not compiled on 64 bit os, you might have to manually compile some progs. I would suggest installing regular Ubu23:37
wyldejfreak53: or lots of compiling from sources :)23:37
jfreak53Thunderhawk: Oh, OK :) ha ha23:37
lousygaruaminimec: yes, that's the one. so my ubuntu falls back to the intel card after it cannot find the nvidia one? wait a sec. maybe i need to remove all the other nvidia packages that i don't know how got installed in the first place23:37
acestuffjfreak53: I have 64 bit versions of Windows and 64 bit Linux Mint. I also have more than 4GB RAM.23:38
L3topmost programs do absolutely nothing with 64 bit ftr jfreak53.23:38
Thunderhawkjfreak53: can you help with the encryption23:38
jfreak53wylde: true, it would help for that also.  But to be honest, my laptop is a 64 and my home PC is not, on my laptop I have regular ubu installed and it's still a lot faster on compiling than my main pc. I don't think he would notice the dif23:38

mouth1ok thanks IdleOne23:38
wyldejfreak53: true :) Most really don't need 64 bit, but hey it's been used as a catch phrase for advertising! So it must be better! >.<23:39

karamazovjfreak53: So it should be there?23:43
lousygaruaminimec: ok, something happened, i got the nice effects i had on the live usb like that beautiful alt-tab window, but lsmod still shows i915 and no nouveau23:44
wyldeThunderhawk: you should know though, that using bruteforce means that you will ONLY get access by guessing the exact password. To make things worse, if don't know how long the password is it will take an exceptional amount of time to accomplish. You could get extraornarily lucky and succeed in a few minutes/hours/days. The truth though is you could be trying for decades.......  <--- true story23:44
jfreak53karamazov: 90% of the time if a system is there on a partition grub2 will find it when installing.  Try from CLI sudo update-grub then restart23:44

scientesVonhinten, thats really bad, you need to install libc6:amd6423:46

wyldejfreak53: I've read a little about but never played with it :)23:47
kxVonhinten: you're screwed. just a typical ubuntu updates that destroys your system. the fix requires manually removing old glibc files, faking the package manager into believing a certain version is installed, manually installing .deb packages  in specific orders. your system is actually probably only half updated23:47
icerootBLZbubba_: because of your bios and to avoid changing device names there is the UUID23:47
Guest93700anyone know how to identify in time for the nickname?23:47
jfreak53wylde: their pretty cool actually. It's pretty quick, that's how they ended up cracking MD5 and SHA1 hashes, using rainbow tables about 3GB in size.  It works :)23:48
newbie_ubuntuL3top: i have done what u suggested before, but it doesnt work23:48
wyldejfreak53: yeah, I believe that was also done using graphics gpu's as well no?23:48

Vonhintenkx, nice.  Guess I'll try to get a live cd or flash boot working and copy what I can, and start fresh.23:48
Guest93700anyone?23:49
L3topnewbie_ubuntu: lspci -nn | grep VGA | pastebinit23:49
jfreak53wylde: MD5 originally yes, but then they figured rainbow would be faster and it was so now most md5 cracking sites use rainbow for that reason, 3GB of disk space is cheap in VPS unit's ;)  While as a GPU is not on server unit's ha ha23:49
L3topnewbie_ubuntu: It will spit out a pastebin.com URL. I need that.23:49
